Arrival Story:
I opened a knock on the door one morning in late July, 1995 and there stood a good friend with a white fluff ball in his arms. His dog, Sam, a black lab/ golden retriever mix had had a litter of pups on June 16th and he had brought me one. His dad was a purebred white shepherd that lived across the street from Sam. I was reading about Michelangelo at the time and the word Pietra (Pea-A-tra) means rock. Pete became my rock through many storms over the next 3 years. We grew very close. Papa was to play with, and boy could he play! But he knew his job was to protect and watch over me. 125 pounds of pure muscle and yet toddlers were safe with him.

Bio:
My Bud was a big man and gentle as could be. He was jealous of his new sister at age one and a half. She was an Esau (hunter, wanderer) and he was a Jacob(a stay at home Mama's boy), but they really loved each other. Pete always was watching me with those big eyes. I would turn around and look for him and he was already watching me. He was my first dog, my defender, my great friend. There will never be another Pete! Lead on Bud!

Yoohoo! Wow! It is so good to see Brandy again! She looks like the young whippersnapper she used to be. Hair blowing in the breeze, and feet itching to run! OH! there she goes after the jackrabbit! No fences here to worry about. She has also turned into a great gardener. Must have to do with all that practice she got burying bones in your garden! Look at her go! And I can just hear the yipping she loves to make when on a chase. It sure is good to see her. I'll take good care of her, although that is not really necessary here. Come see us at PetRest soon. I love you.

Dear Pete:
Today marks two years since you walked out the door with Papa never to return. I am so grateful to God for having had you so long (12 years!) How much fun I had with you. You were my first dog and no one can ever take your place. We are still hoping for that white shepherd pup to come along that could help me. I did get to play ball with one middle aged lady named Amber. I even got to brush her. She looked so much like you-- except no dog has ever had your big black rimmed eyes. Intelligent eyes. Mysterious eyes.

I can still see you trotting in front of me on our daily jogs. You loved to walk and hear people stop to ask, " What kind of dog is that?" But you never slowed down--you had some place to go!!!

Guess what? We took some film in and it had pictures of you! What a blessing that was Pete. They were taken a couple of months before you got sick and left. What a beautiful boy you were. A good boy and a loyal one. Thank you Jesus for my Pete.

Dear Pete:
My good boy! It is raining and I had to renew my dogster account today. Just seeing the word dogster brings a stab of remembrance. I found them when I had been searching sites about people losing their dogs. So now when I see the word I am reminded that you are gone. And then I cry. And I become fearful of losing Brandy. We still haven't found a white male shepherd pup. I wonder if I will ever be able to have another one. Sometimes I think no, that I can't imagine having any others but you and Brandy. What should I do Buddy? I miss you fiercely.
Love,
