LYLE 1991 - 2004
Webmaster's Borgi Mix
What a character you were, little Snark. You brought us joy every day, with your spunky antics and eyes full of mischief. We fell in love, thunderstruck, the first time our eyes met through bars at the shelter. You barked more loudly than everyone else, "Pick me! Pick me!", you yelled enthusiastically. Silly Puppers, you already knew there was no other choice for me. You bounced into our hearts as willingly as you hopped into the car, and will remain there ever more. We miss you still.
At the end, as we looked into your eyes, watching them fade, and felt your heart stop, a part of us was lost forever. How we grieved for you! Finally, when enough time had passed that we could open our hearts to another, we named her after you. Even through all the challenges you posed, you gave us so much more than you asked. Thank you, baby boy, for the loyalty, companionship and fun. We will meet again one day. Until then, be nice to others, and promise to watch over your little sister, Lyla, when her time comes to join you. With love, little Lylipup ~ Mama & Your Kathy |

Moses (crossed October 11, 2009)
Debi's (President of BCIN) LH Chihuahua mix
Some of you know I pulled a very geriatric LH Chi awhile back. Not to adopt but to give sanctuary. A nice, warm, soft place to die, where food and love were plentiful.
Listed @ 10 years old, he was painfully thin and frail with a skin condition. Poor little guy was weak in the back end and his teeth worn down almost to the gums. My vet estimated him at 20 years old, though kindly listed him as 15 on his sterility certificate. I named him Moses...old as dirt.
Mo as I fondly called him was always a happy little guy. He'd get wagging so happily he'd loose his balance and almost fall. He gained some weight and the oily, flaky skin was gone. He loved to give kisses and it was hard with his advanced periodontal disease, but I would let him shower my face with those stinky kisses.
He was a ray of sunshine in a world that can sometimes be dark. When I was frustrated with rescue, adopters, or a difficult foster Mo was my 'go to' guy. He always made me feel better about my chosen path. He could always make me smile and ground me back to why I do this crazy job I do.
This morning as I was racing to get everything done to leave for Bow Wows and Meows, he just seemed a bit slower to rise from under his blanket. Tony said he was sunning himself, warming his ancient bones on the brick patio and just went to sleep about noon today. Quietly, without any struggle, he slipped over the bridge. He left me about the time I was in a flurry of adoptions.
I wish I could have been with him.
Goodbye my sweet little one. I think you came to me because I needed you, not that you needed me. I will cherish our short time and remember you always |

Farrah (crossed August 2009)
BCIN foster, adopted by Socorro
I'm sorry to tell you that Farrah has passed away. In early August she went into cardiac arrest and was not able to be revived. We were told she had been living with a congestive heart for quite some time. I wish we would have known sooner...maybe we could have helped her.
It has been a sad time for us for some time now but have so many great memories of our beloved Farrah. She brought so much love and joy to our lives. August 30th 2009 would have marked our first year with her as that was the day we
brought her home. We still celebrated that day with so many memories of her, even if for a short time. I want to thank BCIN for allowing us to have her in our lives and for the great work you are doing in providing homes for these loving dogs.
I am attaching some pictures of miss Farrah for you. Isn't she beautiful!
Our beloved Farrah who brought so much love and joy into our lives, gone too soon but FOREVER in our hearts.
We love you Miss Farrah! |
