With heavy hearts we said goodbye to Deacon ("Deke") on September 4, 2007. Our faithful companion of more than 13 years will be missed. Photo is of Deke as a pup. Deke loved to have his picture taken. Throughout his life, when the camera came out, he would strike a pose. I spent a year with Deke in obedience and planned to compete with him.
With heavy hearts again, we said goodbye to Cindy in July. She lived a long life to over 14 years old.
