Sun Sign:
Quick Bio: Birthday: July 21st 2003 Likes: Duchess loves to sleep on her back against the couch with her legs up in the air, belly & chin rubs, walks, car rides, playing tug with her rope, sleeping & snoring is what she does best, cold weather, snow, running & looking out the window.
Pet-Peeves: She HATES getting her ears cleaned. Duchess doesn't like loud noises either like vacuums, the garbage truck, loud airplanes/helicopters and fireworks. She doesn't like hot weather and not being the center of EVERYONE'S attention!
Favorite Toy: Duchess has many toys, she especially likes her rope toys.
Favorite Food: Rawhides, Frosty Paws Doggie Ice Cream, Pup-peroni treats and ice cubes.
Favorite Walk: She loves to run in the field by our house.
Best Tricks: She knows the words "walk", "wanna go", "ears", "who's there" and "good-bye". When she hears "walk" or "wanna go?", she goes to the closet where we keep her leash. When she hears "ears", she runs and tries to hide.
Arrival Story: My mom actually got her for herself. She saw how much I loved her and how attached I was to her, that she gave her to me.
Bio: Duchess was born 7/21/03. Duchess has one brown eye (right side) and one blue eye (left side). Although she has perfect sight in both eyes, most breeders would consider this a defect. Her family and friends say that this makes her even more special and unique. She is very friendly and playful with other animals as well as people. (She just does not realize her own size and strength.) When we first got her, she was nervous around other dogs and would run from them. Now, she looks forward to seeing other dogs when we go for walks. She will drag you to them if you don't move fast enough for her! Duchess loves to sit and stare out the windows. She also snores a lot. When she dreams, she lets out these small, little barks while her whole body twitches. Duchess MUST sniff and smell EVERYTHING (especially if you have gone food shopping)! Duchess does not like being left alone. Ms. Duchess is definitely a superstar and she knows it! She gets so much attention during her walks. In March 2007, an MRI showed a small, slow growing tumor under her brain. She had radiation treatment in June 2007. She handled the radiation extremely well. We hope and pray that it was sucessful. More to follow......

DuchieBear, I wanted to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day! It's been a month today since you had to leave. How I wish you were still here so I can give you a big hug and kiss. I just wanted you to know how much you are still loved today and everyday. We miss you so much. The house is still so empty without you. I hope that you have made some friends at the Bridge to keep you company. We are sending all of our love to you and all the Bridge kids. You will always be our sweet angel.

It was a week yesterday since I had to let you go. Coincidentally, yesterday you would've been 8 1/2 years old and we also had our first snowfall of the year. You loved the snow. I can still picture you on our walks when there was snow on the ground, stopping to take mouthfuls of snow. I can still see your big "bear" pawprints embedded in the snow. I remember the way you used to hop through the snow when it was very deep. I remember when there was a deep snowdrift, you digging through it and all anyone could see was your backside sticking out. How I wish you could've been here to see the snow.
I love you always my sweet girl.

I was at work today when the vet's office called me to let me know that you were ready to be picked up. My heart just stopped when they said that because I really thought for a split second that you were going to walk out with me. I tried hard not to cry but I couldn't hold it in. It seems so final now for some reason even though it was already final on Saturday. They gave me your pawprint in clay and a locket of your fur. I also clipped some of your fur the other day myself.
I placed you in the living room where you used to love to sleep and watch us coming and going.
I miss you so much my sweet DuchieBear. I love you always.
