February 22nd, 2007 the Loss of a Legend

though we knew it was coming, it didn't make it any easier - we say goodbye to our brown boy - ellis memorial page

Ellis suffered what appeared to be a stroke while I was out with him in the BD parking lot today at lunch. I rushed him to the emergency vet where they got him stabilized and ran several tests. Ellen met me shortly afer where given all the circumstances we had to make the tough heart wrenching decision to say goodbye to our wonderful brown man. Needless to say we are devastated.
Ellis was 15 and a half years old and obviously a very big part of our lives, bringing us endless smiles and joy each and every day. He will be dearly missed.

Feb. 1st, 2007 one year since losing Yukon - Yuki book it was a year ago this morning that we suddenly lost our dear yellow Yukon. It hasn't been easy on us. I had been trying to make a scrapbook for the last year with not much luck - just too hard. I eventually set a goal to get it done before the one year anniversary of his death. I changed direction and ended up making a coffee table photo book about his life. It took a ton of time but was worth it. If you're interested to check it out just ask me, or, and not that I would ever expect anyone to buy it, but it's available online here. If you click on "book preview" you can get a preview of the first 15 pages. A pretty cool, easy and affordable way to publish your own books. It's over 150 pages of mostly photos and some short stories about Yuki's time with us.
January 21st, 2007 Ellis turns 15 1/2 I figure once you hit 15, you start celebrating half birthdays. Ellis hasn't been doing great lately but was as spry as ever for his big day. Lots of walking, playing in the snow, and even some swimming in southern Utah/Arizona. (photos)
September 14th, 2006 15 years since the day I got Ellis It was 15 years ago on Sep 14th, 1991 that I picked up Ellis from the breeder - see the difference now and then
July 21st, 2006 Ellis turns 15 The wonderful brown man turns 15. Over 25 people and 8 dogs show up for his monumental birthday party at Millcreek canyon. There was tons of swimming (for the dogs) and yummy steak (even for Ellis) (photos)
