"Galen"
Artesian Ableaim Gotcha

The loss of Galen is still one of the most painful memories of my life.  Such promise he had, such joy he provided.  We still miss watching him carry his favorite toy everywhere he went.  In his short life he tied our entire family around his little toe.  In his short show career -- four shows -- he was Winners Dog for a major and onto a Group 2, and Winners Dog for his second major his second time in the ring and he won his very large class at the 2003 Nationals under Iva Kimmelman, pictured above.

"JuJu"
Ableaim Ju Gonna Be A Princess

And oh what a Princess you were
We will miss...
your sweet and adoring face
your demanding and willful ways
your zest for life and love of children
your jealous and spoiled attitude
your command of the show ring - even through the times were few
your ability to work all who visited YOUR house
your promise and contribution we'd hoped for

Bred, handled and loved by Jenny Boyd
Loved and sorely missed by your family - David, Ellen & Chris

JuJu was major pointed, a Best of Breed winner, Group placement and a Puppy Best In Show.  She loved her family and had them all trained to her liking.  She was a real show girl, she loved the attention, but mainly she loved Jenny.  May we soon be able to speak your name without tears.

"Bert"
DC Ableaim Artisan MC, FCh

Bert was from our first litter & was our first Dual Champion.  We lost our Bert Man suddenly & un-expectantly on January 13, 2010 at 13 1/2 years old.  We always expected Bert to live forever.  His loss is still to fresh and painful, there are simply no words.

"Cindy"
Anndra's Princess Bride Kachina SC

Cindy was our first Whippet.  We lost our beloved Cindy at the age of 16 1/2 years old.  Cindy was truly a perfect dog, she never did anything wrong.  Cindy was a great bed dog and loved her snuggle time.  We will always miss her.
