For Brando
« on: May 11, 2009, 12:13 AM »
Always my my LOVE, always a challenge
My constant guardian
My forever companion

My Heart Dog does not express the sadness I feel when I tell you how much you are missed

You always meant well
You will Never be replaced

My first Rideback & always the greatest,

Good bye and hello to my happy phantom, until we meet know my tears are filled with joy knowing I had the pleasure of being loved by you! Your beauty Mark lives on in our hearts




Melissa, Greg, Peter and Zola

Thanks Shody, I only wish I could see past these HUGE tears streaming down my face to post his wonderful pictures.....I thought I was ready, but I am not sure I would have ever been to say what is in my heart  :rose No dog could have ever loved us more...

He is missed by all of us, so very much.....

Oh Melissa, I am so sorry to read this. I still have to laugh at our attempts to get Brando and Tonks to lure course just a year ago. He was such a momma's boy, he just wanted to be with you rather than chase the "bunnies." The black T-shirt was very fitting, and I can imagine how much you miss him.

Melissa and Family,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I never got to meet Brando, but loved hearing all of your stories about him. Please know that you are in my thoughts. Chase sends his love to Zola who I know will be missing her best friend.
