Remembering Shaby

Posted on

Pets add so much to our lives.  My friend Dwayne, recently lost his beloved dog “Shaby.”   I was moved by his Facebook remembrance  to his furry friend and got his permission to post it to  this blog.  Here’s Dwayne’s moving tribute to “Shaby.”

“Many of you have asked about ” Shaby” over the past few years. My family, friends and colleagues have all known him for the past 18 years. He was always present making someone laugh or smile. Last night, the little champ slept away to Heaven. Six rewards, pet amber alerts, 20 or more lost and found ads, a private detective and lawyers to get him back from his various adventures into the neighborhoods in Atlanta, NYC, NJ and Houston, he always found his way back to the Ashley Family. Like most of us, Shaby was curious about the world and wanted to see it–so he explored. Mom, thanks for taking great care of him for the past 4 years, and years before when I came for visits and he ended staying for months to years. And to all my friends who took care him when I had to travel over the years ( Cisco, Kurt, Leon, Gerald, Phillip, Martha and Andy). We will miss you little fella and “don’t embarrass me by begging for food when people are eating in Heaven”

Wake-Up Call

Jean-Claude and Koko both tend to be night owls.  So it comes as no surprise that they wake me up very early for play, foot or whatever.   This photo is very amusing.

Tis the Season – No Doubt

Posted on

Jean Claude and Koko have had quite a time during the holiday season.  First helping me to decorate, including supervising getting the decorations out of my garage.  Then of course playing hide and seek under the Christmas tree. Yes, I brave it.  Getting a live tree every year, plus so far they’ve only pulled one decoration off the tree – a gold colored cloth decoration shaped in a heart.  This photo was too funny to resist.

The Peephole

Jean Claude, the Bombay and Koko, the shorthair like to watch the world from the windows in my house. Many times Jean Cllaude pats the blinds with his paw to let me know to raise them, yesterday however he and Koko created a peephole in the living room window..
