In Memory
This page is dedicated to the loving memory of my babies, who have sadly been taken from this world.
They may be gone.... but they will never be forgotten.
Lucky came into my life on Frebruary 28th, 2004. He was a very sick boy when I got him. He had been found running along the interstate in lower Michigan, and was picked up by a wonderful lady who was on her way to her mother's home in Upper Michigan. She brought Lucky, who they were calling Jack at the time, to her mother's house. However, her mother could not keep Lucky because she already had several dogs. I saw Lucky available for adoption, and contacted her. From the moment that I met Lucky, I knew he was the dog for me, and took him home that day. When I took Lucky to the vet's office for a checkup, they found that he had 4 different types of worms. After he was treated for the parasites he began to start showing more of his personality. Lucky was the sweetest, most laid back dog that i've ever met. He loved everyone he met, and loved to be a lap dog. Sadly, I lost my boy, Lucky, in July of 2007. Lucky is very missed. I know there will never be a dog quite like him.
Blue Moon - AKA Kitty, was born on September 23rd, 2006. She was my pick of litter from a litter of puppies that had been sired by my georgous male Blue eyed male Harlequin Great Dane, Jesse. I nick named her Blue Moon. She was the most beautiful, bright eyed, sweet natured puppy that I had ever laid eyes on. I got very attached to her very quickly, and for a long time pondering on keeping her for myself. I really would have loved nothing more than to keep her, but at the same time I felt that she would be the most happy with a loving family who could spend lots of time with her, and give her much more one on one attention than what I would have been able to provide at the time. I did find Blue Moon a loving family, who named her Kitty. However, in the spring of 2007.... she accidently got away from her family, bolted into the street, and was hit by a car. I was just devistated when I heard the news. Blue Moon was a great dog, and was loved by everyone around her. Although, her life was a short.... she touched the hearts of everyone that she met, and she will never be forgotten.
Goliath came to us on January 16th, 2005. He was a retired breeder that my parents had adopted for my younger brother, who had been wanting a dog for a long time. Goliath was the first Great Dane that I had ever met, and at first I wasn't sure that I wanted such a large dog to live with us. However, Goliath soon won me over with his very sweet, loving, funny, and good natured personality. He loved everyone he met, and was a true gentle giant. Everyone in the family soon fell in love with Goliath's amazing personality also. Sadly, only several months after Goliath became a part of our family we noticed that he had a strange lump. After taking him to the vet, we learned that he had cancer, and was already in the advanced stages of the disease. We lost Goliath on September 10th, 2005. The whole family was hit very hard by the lost of our best friend, and constant companion. Several months after Goliath's death, we set out to find another gentle giant to become a part of the family.... which is how our adventure in raising this wonderful breed began. Goliath is credited for fueling my strong love for the breed. His is still very missed, and I do think of him often. He will live on forever in the memories that we hold dear in our hearts.
Also, In Loving Memory of My Dad.... who passed away on August 18th, 2007.
I wrote the following poem in his memory.
Until We Meet Again
Our lives are filled with sorrow,
Our hearts are filled with pain,
We spend our days wishing,
That you were here again,
You fought for so long,
Trying so hard to stay,
Although your constant struggle,
Only got harder by the day,
Now, your suffering has ended,
You are finally at peace,
I guess we may find some comfort,
In that fact, at least,
Still the tear drops fall,
Evidence of the pain we feel,
For it is hard to deal,
As everything has changed,
For deep down we know,
Our lives will never be the same,
Your passing has caused a void in our hearts,
Which nothing can fill,
Your life with us is over,
Your role on earth is through,
But, your sweet memories will remain,
They will be in our hearts forever,
Until we meet again,

In loving memory of Robert P. Williams Sr.
Rest in peace, Dad.
