Arrival Story:
I've always loved OES. My husband saw an advertisement in our local paper for OES and called. The woman told him that all of the girls were taken, but she still had several males available. I told her that was fine, but please pick out a quite puppy as I did not want a barker and that I would like one with a white head, no patches around the eyes. The puppy she selected was indeed quite and had a white head. He 6 1/2 months old - born June 4th 1996 to Dame Lady Martha of Harrington and Sire Shmuel Ben Peretz. After we adopted him and we soon found out that he had not been socialized, did not know how to play, would cry and whine when he was put on a leash to be taken for a walk or car ride. In addition, he was terrified of men.
Bio:
Logan's fear of men almost caused me to rehome him because he was terrified of my husband and would urinate and run, whenever their paths crossed. This broke my heart as I was already deeply attached to Logan. To try and resolve this issue, my husband and I took Logan to obidence class and the trainer instructed my husband to feed Logan and for me to totally ignore him. I was not to pet, feed, comb or cuddle with him at all. This was not an acceptable solution to me as Logan was depressed and my husband was frustrated with the dog and it showed. These new set of "rules" lasted a whole two days before I broke down and said I couldn't do them. Over time, Logan developed a truce with my husband, but sadly, he never really bonded with his human daddy.
Logan did learn to enjoy walks and car rides. He was wonderful in the car as he would lay on the back seat and just enjoy the ride. Every once in a while he would get up, poke his head between the front seat and give me a kiss, then lay back down. It was as if he was checking to make sure I was still there.
Sadly, Logan had to be put down last year, two weeks before his tenth birthday. He became very ill and no amount of Vet care could save him although I tried everything I could to get him better. I finally had to let him cross the Rainbow bridge without me, but I'm convinced that we will be reunited again, as he is my soul mate. Until then, I have my memories of my beautiful boy who I will love forever.
Forums Motto:
I\'ll follow you anyplace mom!!!

Yup, it's been a while since I updated you diary. It's not that you are forgotten it's just that most of what I want to say is private and so I choose not to put it down here.
I found a bunch of pictures of you that haven't been posted on Dogster so I scanned them into the computer and posted a few. I will never get tired of looking at them as you were so handsome but the pictures didn't do you beauty any real justice. They did bring back memories of the times we spent together.
I'm actually thinking about getting another Old English sheepdog from the rescue group but it will take a lot of work to convince daddy to do this - LOL. Daddy is very vocal about not taking another "used" dog from anyone because the people who turn those dogs into the rescues are not very honest about their histories or issues. He did say I could get another big dog when we move to Arizona but I'm not certain he is willing to get another Old English sheepdog but we shall see.
I love you baby.

Not all anniversaries are happy occasions. Five years ago today you left for the Rainbow Bridge. I will not celebrate this day as it is one of sadness. It is the day that you went on an adventure without me.
I want you to know that you are still loved, remembered and missed. You were and always will be my confused little boy and your leaving has left a void in my world.
I loved you then and I love you now, nothing will ever change that.

Death seems to be all around, in the news, in the family and among friends. I suppose I am beginning to understand that someday my time too will come and this realization hits hard when one is no longer young and full of life.
I often reflect on your last days here on earth and wonder if I should have done something different. I believe that I will never feel fully content that all was done that could have been done. The vet said a change of diet and some medication was all you needed and that you would be good as new. I foolishly clung to his words and shrugged off the feeling that he was not right so I did not seek out a second opinion, however my faith in the vet was misplaced and you were gone before the week was over.
There is only one guarantee with life and that is at some point we will die. This fact was overlooked when you were a little puppy. At that time, all I could see was having you by my side as we experienced life's adventures together. But someplace along the way, we both began to age and slow down. The little scared puppy that I had instantly fallen in love with was replaced with the mature, devoted dog that I loved so dearly.
My mind keeps on going back to that terrible last night when you were seizing so violently on the kitchen floor. As I lay next to you holding you in my arms I was praying that a miracle would occur. For a time you seems to calm down but I knew it was too late to save you, as I felt you drifting closer and closer to the final destination.
On May 25, 2006, your life ended and a portion of mine did too. Death stole you from my side thus ending our adventures together, but it did not take the memories that are stored in my mind or heart.
I loved you that very first day I saw you and I continue to love you now. I look for you in my dreams as I so desperately want to be with you again, but for the time being that is not to be. The only comfort I have is to know that I too am walking along the same path you took and someday my journey here on earth will also end, and then we will be reunited for eternity.
Mom
