In Memory...February and March 2012

This page is dedicated to loved one's lost. This page is for us to remember the special animals who have touched our lives and who will always be in our hearts. Our goal is to place as many dogs as we can so that they can live out their lives in happy homes. Sadly, we cannot save every dog who needs our help, and sometimes no rescue comes for them. We honor their memory here. We miss you dearly. You are gone, but never forgotten. 

 

 

 

Words can’t describe how much Chester was loved. He was our best friend, confidant and partner in crime. He changed our lives for the better, and we can’t accurately express our love and thanks to him. May his memory live on forever. 
“You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here.” Love always and forever, Mama, Papa and Oliver

You will always be young now....



In Memory Of Old Maxwell

In late May of 2010 Maxwell came to Fat Dog Farm to live the good life for his last years. He was about 14 years old and was completely blind and deaf. Big and silver with a bucket head and cantankerous attitude, he quickly adjusted to his new home and life after only a few days of mapping out the house and the walk to the big maple tree, under which he loved to snooze on his blanket in the shade. Another favorite past time of Maxwell’s was to hang out in the garden with his foster Mom while she planted and worked. She would give him a fresh egg from the hen house and let him work on it until he cracked it and lapped up the fresh inside. His foster mom made sure he had plenty of things to keep his nose and taste buds happy, since these were his only senses. He loved a good marrow bone too, and would hold it in his paws and lick and chew for hours……awww those were good days. He even enjoyed walks on a leash around the farm. We always did the same path so he became very comfortable and would even do a little jog (now close your eyes and plug your ears and try running). Sometimes he would howl at night, and foster mom would put her slippers under his head for the scent to comfort him. She found him sleeping with his head in those slippers many times…maybe felt like she was near.
Maxwell passed away peacefully on the afternoon of May 6th, sleeping in his favorite bed on his favorite blanket. He was buried under the hydrangeas with his blanket and his foster moms slippers under his head. He is dearly missed by Debbie and Bob. He was with us for a year. Run with the puppies dear Maxwell, and see and hear everything!

In memory of Brody. Forever loved by Susan and Jim Brittian. Gone too soon.
RILEY BLUE-5/26/99 - 4/27/11
With heavy hearts we said goodbye to our one and only Irish Jewish Kitty. The most unique and wonderful feline to walk this earth. His absence leaves a hole in our hearts, but we are grateful for the 12 years he walked down life's road with us. 
His sassy-ness graced our lives with more joy, love and amusement than we can express. 
From his constant kvetching, loud mouth demands, insistence on walks with the dogs -
to his complete and utter confidence in his own adorableness... We will never forget, life with Riley.~Lori and Doug





4/24/11-Roxy-Forever loved by the Dixson family. Gone too soon. Rest in peace.

1/27/11-Justice,you were gone too soon. No "justice" was given to you. You will forever be a part of our hearts. Although we didn't know where you came from, you were home with us. You took a piece of us with you when you left this world. But clearly God had other plans for you. You are finally free of pain and suffering, and can run free in heaven. We will always love you. Rest easy now. You were an angel on earth.

Nikki, our abused puppymill breeder dog, died suddenly. We love you Nikki and will miss you terribly. You were loved. Heaven is lucky to have you...Now your wings are real. 

"Life was not a valuable gift, but death was. Life was a fever-dream made up of joys embittered by sorrows, pleasure poisoned by pain ... but death was sweet, death was gentle, death was kind; death healed the bruised spirit and the broken heart, and gave them rest and forgetfulness; death came and set him free."
 - Mark Twain
