April 1, 2008 is the one-year anniversary of the day we
lost our sweet and beautiful Daisy. She was greatly loved and has been sorely missed. She was my shadow and I still look for her to be at my side sometimes.
She also left behind her life-long sister, Lily, who has mourned her disappearance so very much.
The time we had with Daisy was much too short, but is greatly appreciated. It was a joy to have her share our
lives.

Cody
He was the beloved schnauzer of my brother Chris, and a dear member of our family. He will always be remembered as an amazing dog- very calm, extremely intelligent, funny, and loving to every person he met- he was literally the most amazing dog I have ever met. Cody was a big part of our lives for almost 16 years and he will be sorely missed by everyone who ever met him.
Cody was put to rest on Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Schautze Bonds, 1998-2007
We lost our little Schautze on October 12 after an almost seven-month battle with mast cell tumors. Schautze was a great patient of the NCSU Vet Teaching Hospital as she went through surgery, radiation and chemotherapy but in the end the cancer spread to her spine and her quality of life deteriorated quickly. It is impossible to do justice to her spirit with a write up as she was a special little character who was smart and talented. She was heart broken when she lost her brother Klaus in 2005 but quickly adapted to our rescues, Willie and Sugar, when they came on board.
We got her as a puppy for my best friend from high school and when she could not handle the children there, she came back to us one year later. The eight years with Schautze were filled with her antics and loving personality. She loved to sleep behind Jeanne's head on a pillow. She could catch a frisbee and had the best eye-mouth coordination with a tennis ball, never missing.
In loving memory of sweet Schautze Bonds, a true "sweetheart."
-Jeanne, Bob Bonds, and Willie and Sugar (adopted 2006, 2007) |
Daisy, NCSR #012
Justin and I were greatly saddened by the news of Daisy's passing. Daisy and Lily were among our first foster dogs. We loved those girls! Lily would sit on the couch and watch TV like a person. She wasn't much interested in anyone but Justin. Daisy, on the other hand, was always attached to me while she was here. She was lucky and found a wonderful home that welcomed both her and her sister, Lily. Daisy was deeply loved by her Forever Home and will be greatly missed by all!

Foster, NCSR #054
Sweet little Foster was laid to rest on Tuesday September 19, 2006. The memory of him will live forever in my heart, and in the hearts of all who knew him and loved him.
Foster's heart arrested during sedation for hip surgery and he could not be revived. We were full of hope that this procedure would result in a better life for this little boy by allowing him full use of his right hind leg so he could run and jump like all his friends.
We placed him at the base of the garden on my family's farm, with tender kisses, his favorite squeaky toy football, and fresh gardenias. Laura, my Mom and Dad, Dovey, Max and Poppy were all present. Buster Brown, our family cat, who spends his days looking out over the garden from the barn loft, will keep watch over our precious Foster.
Foster knew that he had a permanent home here with me. Each coming home was a joyful event with toys flying everywhere, Foster in hot pursuit, and Max caught up in the frenzy. Foster's whole body would wag from head to tail, and he would make lots of noise in his excitement that daddy was home and the family was together again. Foster's presence on the landing at the top of the stairs, keeping watch on the front door, always comforted me. For his vigilance, he was appointed Forward Lookout, and never failed in his duties. He greeted me each time I passed on the stairs. He was so irresistible that I would often just stop and sit on the steps and snuggle him in my arms. Foster will be remembered for his love of toys. He could catch balls as fast as they were tossed to him. He loved to "go deep" and could snag his football out of the air on a crossing pattern with amazing skill, bringing much laughter and amazement to us every time.
Foster will be missed mostly just for being Foster. Round, sweet, ears erect, petite, skinny legs, barks like a girl, running on three legs, always appreciative of the least little bit of attention.
The joy in this house and in my heart will be forever dampened by his loss.
I love you Foster.

KC, NCSR #032
KC came to live with me in June of this year. Well, we got him into my car and off I went on this new adventure with a dog that did not even acknowledge that he was interested. He slept all the way home.
Within days KC became the sweet fellow that he was. He followed me everywhere I went, barked at 5am to go out--of course that really meant that he wanted to eat.
KC was friends to all including my son’s cats. DOGS - forget it. He wanted to be the KING of the dog community, and when we would go out for a walk and the neighbors had their dogs out KC barked all the time.
KC had 3 things he did not like: 1. Being in yard without me actually just being in the yard and I am there working, 2. Sitting on screened porch with me, 3. Going in the car, he would just cry all the way and when we left to come home he would be happy and sleep.
KC was going downhill slow, and we knew his time would come, but the sudden turn overnight was a shock to me.
I really became attached to him and could not stand to see him suffer any longer. KC will be sorely missed.

In memory of our beloved schnauzer, Augusta, who died on February 28. She was 11 years old.
May our contribution add to the life and love of many schnauzers!

I first met Jean and her husband, Mike, shortly after they moved into our neighborhood (around 2000). I noticed that a fence was being installed as they were moving in. I thought, "yea, they must have  either kids or dogs." I was ecstatic when I saw that they had two of the most beautiful giant schnauzers I had ever seen. Very soon after, Curly, the giant male was diagnosed with cancer. Although Mike and Jean did everything within their power and traveled back and forth to the veterinary hospital in Tennessee, Curly died not terribly long after. Because Celine, the female, was so lonely after Curly's death, Jean and Mike decided to adopt a mini. Many people know that Jean Schultz and I worked for several years trying to shut down a backyard breeder in our local area. We agreed to take their retired breeders and find wonderful homes for them. I had been promised a beautiful little black male and already knew that I would place him with the Lawlors. When it came time to pick him up, however, they made a switch and instead, released a precious salt and pepper male. This dog was pretty special to me because it turned out that he is the father of my Kayleigh. Jean Lawlor took one look at him and fell in love. They adopted him and named him "Pepper." He very quickly became a real "momma's boy," and anytime Jean sat down, Pepper was in her lap. Within a short period of time, there were a number of schnauzers needing rescue, so Jean Schultz and I really had our hands full.
Although Jean had a number of health problems, she never turned us down when we were in need of a foster home. She and Mike cared for a number of our rescues just as if they were their own. About a year later, the backyard breeder decided to release the little black male who had been promised earlier. At that time, Celine, had also just been diagnosed with cancer and they decided to go ahead and adopt the little black fellow, who soon earned the name "Inky." Inky turned out to be a "daddy's boy," which was good since Jean's lap was already occupied by Pepper. I am happy to report that Celine is still here. I see her almost every day as I pass by their home. Jean's death came way too soon, but I can tell you that I feel richer for having known her. She will always have a place in my heart and also in the hearts of all those that she took in and worked with until they could go on to their forever homes. Somehow I know that Jean looks down from heaven upon those precious ones and watches over them.
-Debbie West, In Memory of Alva Jean Lawlor
