IN MEMORY:

 

"Zack" the Wonder Dog - Collie/Elkhound Mix (1983-1999)

 

Zack was probably the smartest dog on earth.   He had a wide repertoire of tricks.  His most famous being "raid".  Zack would assume the position to be searched anytime you yelled "it's a raid".  He was featured on The Ralph Emory Show (Nashville, TN) and won the stupid pet trick contest in 1994.  He was a special dog and is still greatly missed.  Here he is waving hello!

 

 

 


RUDY TO THE RESCUE

Rudy came into our home in Dec. 2002 as a rescue foster.  He was rescued from a shelter outside of Memphis by a kind Sheltie person.  We were asked to foster him over Christmas until a good home could be found.  Rudy, a red merle, had a wonderful attitude from day one, a real survivor that saw the world through rose colored glasses.  A perfect home came along in PA, or so we thought.  We met the family at the Money’s home in KY.  Three days later, Rudy was returned.  The reason – HE HAD GAS!  So, Rudy found his forever home with us.  Rudy was a comical dog, way to smart for his own good and quite the climber.  We would often find him on the highest perch he could climb to surveying the world from above.  Rudy found his niche in herding, gaining an HT before we lost our herding site.  In November 2009 Rudy went down in his back.  Our first thought was degenerative disc disease.  Then he stopped eating.  The final diagnosis was Stage 5 Lymphoma.  Since the cancer had already spread we opted not to do chemo and love him for the time we had left.  We helped Rudy cross the December 30, 3009.  Rudy never entered the show ring, never sired any champions, but he was special.  Our lives were better for him having been it.  Frappe on Rudy, eat and roll in all the sheep poop you want, you will be missed.
