Weep not for me though I am gone i
nto that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long u
pon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest t
here is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed fo
r all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not, t
he fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts, i
n your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath, r
emember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death, b
ut celebrate my life.
Chester was the best well behaved dog anyone could ask for...We loved him and will never forget him. We will also miss him dearly, along with everyone who he has touched in their lives. Thank you for letting us adopt him, and I know he can never be replaced, but we need to fill the hole that is left in our hearts. We all loved you, CHESTER!! 
I wanted you to know that we had to say goodbye to Isabella on December 22nd because of a Pericardial Effusion of the heart. Isabella came to us though the AZBT Rescue on February 15th, 2008 and she was a wonderful addition to our family. I think she was called "Bubbles" before she came here. Isabella has been a fantastic little dog - very little maintenance over the years - just regular check ups at the Vet and not much more. She would have been 14 this coming February. We decided to let her go at 10:30 PM on December 22nd, 2013... Michelle and I held her close, kissed her on the face one last time and she fell asleep peacefully in our arms. Isabella was an "old soul" and she will surely be missed - Five years was not enough with our little Isabella but we consider ourselves lucky to have had her in our lives. Norman (our other AZBTR puppy) is doing great - but he misses his big sister. It will take time for us to adjust to the hole left in our family. We have talked about maybe adopting another BT sometime in the future but right now our focus in on Norman. When we get to the point of talking about another BT we will reach out to you. 
January 2, 2014 - Our sweet boy Brownie's kidneys gave out early yesterday morning. He crossed the bridge in the arms of his mom and dad. Our home and our hearts will never be the same. We adopted Brownie from AZBTR (then VSBTR) in 2003 at the age of 3...our very first rescue dog. He was such a gift and we were SO lucky to have him in our lives. He was such a perfect little gentleman with tons of character... there are endless Brownie stories. He was small but fearless. Brownie had a huge heart never denying anyone lots of sloppy kisses, or giving them to you whether you wanted them or not (personal space issues). In his younger years his favorite hobby was to "get the mouses" (or lizards or birds) and he loved camping with us. One of his favorite things was to lay in the sun for hours in the yard. He loved to sleep on his back and SNORE! When he lost his sight a few years back he became even more cuddly and lovable. Our little old snorty man. At 13 he was still the KING at the "tugging the toy" game...even with the big dogs AND daddy. Looking back we realized that Brownie was just never any trouble...he was always such a good boy from day one. Our hearts are broken. We miss our "Mini-Mini", our "Brownie-Cakes", our "Meadow Bunny"... Rest in Peace, Mini-Mini 
November 10, 2013 - My Sweet boy Ozzie crossed the bridge in the arms of his mommy and daddy yesterday after complications from surgery. Those of you who know me know how special this boy was to me. He was by my side for 13 years and saw me through a lot of ups and downs. While I love all of my boys, Ozzie was my "heart dog" and the one that started my love affair with Bostons. My little Jewish Momma's boy... you will be missed and will live forever in my heart. God speed little one... I loved you so much. ~ Ana Lisa |
