I have lost my husband, my partner, my love and my best friend.
This site is dedicated to
the man who made the puppies and the rescue possible and who devoted time,
energy, love and money to help all the dogs:

This
is our beloved Yeguza, who was allegedly an FCI
registered Siberian import.
She came
to us in April of 2001 after a harrowing flight, where the airline kept telling
me they couldn't find her, as she was not on her expected flight.
When she finally arrived three hours later, I left her in her airline
crate, loaded her in the van and brought her home. After what had
to be a terrifying day, she hopped out of her crate, then turned back
and pulled out her oversized bone with an attitude of "Hi, I'm
here, I'm unpacked....what's next?"
That same calm temperament stayed with
her through the years. She did get
more protective of us, but was usually calm about the other dogs
here. She and Bors had to check out every new dog as well as
every new rescue in order to determine their suitability for staying
with us and also to emphasize the newcomer's rank in the pack order -
way at the bottom :-) |

She was an absolutely awesome
mom to her puppies and overall, we're tremendously pleased at the way her two litters turned out. She
taught us so very much about this breed as well as about how to raise
puppies in the fashion she thought proper. Her puppy training
methods were really interesting and extremely educational.
We lost our Yeguza the
day after Thanksgiving to an extremely aggressive carcinoma that had
destroyed her lungs and was working on her heart. She was fine
Thanksgiving morning, running with Bors and their almost three year
old puppies and that night she started labored breathing and had blood
on her tongue. Then came a hideous cough and it was obvious that she
was not getting enough air. I had no idea that could happen so
suddenly and silently and with absolutely no warning.
I miss her
tremendously. |
BEAU
Beau, who was one of the
absolute favorites here in rescue, died this past month from a botched
surgery to remove socks from his intestines..........don't know why the
knothead was eating socks, but his death was so unnecessary..........he
had gone to his new home last year and appeared to be doing well.
