Our Past

"Carry You"

When I brought you home, I carried you.
I held you close and made
a promise that day.
As I breathed in that sweet,
soft, clean smell,
I promised to carry you,
and keep you safe and well.
I laughed and spoke so quietly to you.
I taught you your name.
You showed me your heart.
And I showed you mine, as I carried you, that day.

When I take you home, I'll carry you.
I'll hold you close, as I promised that day.
I'll breathe in that old familiar smell,
and keep my promise to keep you
safe and well.
I'll cry as I speak so quietly to you.
I'll say your name.
You'll show me your heart.
And I will lose mine,
when I carry you, that day.

In Loving memory of:

Suntory's Highland Rebel (Sunny)- Gordon Setter
Our first dog after we were married!! We still think of him often. [9 years]

Miette Petit D'or (Mia) - Yellow Labrador
We tried so hard didn't we, Mia ![Kidney Failure 3 years] Our first litter. Daughter of Cher.

Ma Cher D'or (Cher) - Yellow Labrador.
Our teacher. [13 years]
Cher, you brought us into this breed. You loved us, and you loved an other family who needed you more than we did. You saved them from a fire, you saved them from a burgler, and oh yes... least we forget you saved them from that possum you carried to the door. You were all about family!

Pookie, Rescue Golden Retriever.
A piece of us died with him! [15 years]

Boldcrest Blue Knight Babe (Babe) - Black Labrador.
Our stubborn, wonderful girl. [12 years]
Babe, you taught us tolerance. You were a wonderful mother, and an outstanding surrogate mother for Hailey and her sister.

Blue Knight Serenade (Sarah) - Black Labrador.
We'll miss her "songs". [9 years]

Ch. Donally Blu-knight Sugarkane C.G.C. "Sugar"- Yellow Labrador (12 1/2 years)
(Click on her name to see her)
We lost Sugar just shy of her 13th birthday. Words can not express the sadness we feel with her loss. She slept with our son as a child, and then slept with his daughter. She was a major part of our life. She will remain alive on these pages forever. She goes without Mandy, her best friend. We're sure Sugar will wait for Mandy.

Boldcrest Catch The Wind C.D. W.C. ("Mandy") (12 1/2)
My Husband's hunting buddy.... or at least unitl she retired. Our little "Peter Pan"~She never grew up. She has left us with the most beautiful legacy...her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Goodbye silly/sweet girl. You and Sugar weren't apart for very long!

Wingmaster's Hallelujah Lass ("Hailey") (10 1/2)
(7 Points toward her Ch. and never finished.)
Hailey had hard beginnings. She was a gift to me, after I assited another breeder, who brought home three very sick puppies... Hailey one of them. They had Parvo, tested postive for cocci, Corona and worms. We took care of them here..with a LOT of help from my vet. 24hrs/day four of us sweat over them, establishing IV's as they infiltrated, giving meds, and keeping them warm and clean. We lost the boy...the girls lived. Hailey never left us. She donated blood for years to be spun down so that her high titer for parvo could be used to save the lives of other puppies with the disease. She was a wonderful mother to her four litters.
She is greatly missed.

Am/Can. Ch. Blue Knight Classic Genesis ("Adam")(12)
There are no words to express this loss. He was a great friend and a great dog. He will be missed more than words can say. Adam, you live on through the legacy of your children and grandchildren. My grandchildren will always remember your gentle kisses and the use of your body as their own personal pillow.

Blue Knight Sweet Sensation ("Candy") (10)
Always sweet, never naughty. We will miss seeing you asleep in front of the fireplace. You didn't follow Adam by long.
Sleep softly, sleep warm.

Britannia Blue Knight Brie ("Brie") (9 1/2)
Daughter or our first AM/CAN Ch., Mother of our second home-bred Ch. Brie was a pushy girl, who always wanted it her way (whatever "it" was). She was the grand lady of the kennel. Brie, we'll miss you dearly.

"Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light --
Goodnight, dear heart, goodnight, goodnight."

Olivia Susan Clemens, who died August 18, 1896, age 24
