I'm Speshul CD
8/10/81 - 4/9/96
Panda was
our foundation bitch. She earned her CD at 12
1/2 years. She did not like the show ring so
wasn't shown until 11 1/2 years and went Best
of Breed from the classes and took reserves
for majors but never finished.
You came
to us at 14 weeks and left us 14 years later
leaving a big legacy. You live on in your great
great grand children but were truly one of a
kind. You loved to travel with us even to dog
shows and would be the first one into the vehicle
and refused to get out unless you got your ride.
We took you on many rides as someone left the
truck door open. When we obedience trained Elliott
you would follow behind and imitate so we taught
you obedience at 12 1/2 and you earned your
title in 4 shows. We will always remember your
undying love, devotion and protecting us from
burglars. Your "human kid, Karie"
learned well the handling lessons YOU taught
her and now shows your great great grandchildren.........with
their feet in the right place as you taught.......grin.
Our hearts broke when you left sweet "Pat-A-Pest".

Speshul Miracle
12/18/88 - 10/20/96
Your birth
was a miracle and so your name. You grew up
sitting in your "human kids' " laps.
They still talk about how you would knock them
down to sit in their laps or if they laid down
you would sit on them. You were raised a farm
dog and saw your first show ring at 4 and unlike
your mother, Panda, decided this was for you.
You quickly earned both your Championships and
set an enviable show record owner handled. With
your last Best of Breed and Group cut just two
months before your death. You left us much too
young in a hunting accident leaving a hole in
our hearts.

You came to
us just before your fifth birthday and gave
us unending love, devotion and guarded the grandchildren
until you crossed the bridge. We miss you still,
laying in your favorite place next to the computer
while we worked. Your daughter now lays there.
We will never forget your antics in the obedience
ring that caused gales of laughter which just
spurred you on to even better antics. We remember
you working in the field and especially the
"great quail escape" when you were
10 1/2. You pointed hundreds of escaped birds
only to have your grandchildren come and grab
them and run off. We miss you still sweet boy.

You were the
only puppy your mother ever gave us, but what
a gift you were. You loved tormenting your grandmother,
Panda, by trying to steal her favorite bed or
just touching it while she was in it. You and
your mother, Miracle, loved to play "Roll
A Dog" with poor big gawky Treever, when
he was a pup. The two of you would lay in wait
at the door waiting for him to come out and
would chase him down, running into him broadside
so that he went down rolling. You two did it
so often, that it got to the point you would
run at him and make a grab and he would go down
and roll without being touched. You accomplished
so much in your life. You were the Gordon Setter
Club of America's Brood Bitch of The Year in
1998 (tied), earned your Top Producer award
in 1999 with 10 Champions to your credit who
hold a total of 24 Championships between them,
the mother of a Canadian Number 8 All Breed
winner, a seven time Best In Show & seven
time Best In Specialty Winner, two other Best
In Specialty winners, and Group winners, as
well as Junior Hunters, Obedience titlists and
above all beloved Companions. You gave us so
very much and hold a special place in our hearts.
I hope your reunion with the others was joyous."

You left
your mom, Nikkie, and us suddenly and much too
soon. We still can't believe you are gone and
miss your happy goofy personality. You were
always ready to play with your mom or the other
dogs and loved climbing up on things to peer
over six foot fences with your tail wagging
merrily and we will never forget your ability
to open any crate you were put in when the mood
struck you and even truck cap doors. You would
open your crate at times and go visiting other
people at the shows and we would hear an announcement
over the PA system that a loose Gordon was at
the announcers booth. We still wonder why you
would never open a crate that friends of ours
put you in..........was it because they didn't
know better and we did? Enjoy your reunion with
the others, sweet boy.

Leilani,
sweet lovely Leilani, we miss you so and don't
understand your sudden loss. Your bed next to
ours is so empty. Thankfully we had one wonderful
last time in the ring together two days earlier.
You were having so much fun being back in the
ring after all the years and showed your heart
out and even won a first place, it was hard
to believe that you were 13 years old. You begged
bait from everyone you could and tried to help
yourself to it in a couple of instances. I still
remember vividly your hunting and retrieving
birds in 10 inches of snow at 12 years of age
and not wanting to quit when we said that was
enough. Who can forget the times in the obedience
ring where you shined, especially with your
"dad". One day we will meet again.

You
were taken from your family unexpectedly and
went to join the others and Grandpa at the Rainbow
Bridge. You did a wonderful job raising your
human kids; Matthew, JR, Lilly & Audrey
and they miss you greatly. We will never forget
your insistence that all the children be in
the same room at the same time when Lilly &
Audrey were babies, so that you could stand
guard over them all. Though I think our favorite
was when Lilly & Audrey were just learning
to sit by themselves and you would curl your
big body around the one trying to sit so that
she was against your belly and then you would
put your head across her lap, thereby keeping
her from tipping over. You were so very gentle
with your “kids” and protective of them. Enjoy
the green bird filled fields at the Rainbow
Bridge.

You
were and always will be my Jamie Boy and had
to be with me always, which presented problems
in the obedience ring as you decided that “stay”
meant “come to Mom”, so you never earned your
obedience title even though you knew all of
it. If you were still connected to Mom by your
umbilical cord otherwise called a leash all
was fine and you would stay until the cows came
home so you easily earned your Rally Novice
title with high scores, as you could stay connected
to Mom. You did not like the show ring as you
had been badly frightened at your first show
by unruly screaming children running around
you in circles, but we worked thru that and
you earned your two championships mostly because
you got to be with Mom. You made sure you were
my constant companion, even to the end. While
only given two weeks to live due to cancer of
the spleen you lived another 9 months thankfully
with no pain, eating and acting normal. Then
the day came when you wouldn’t eat and came
to get me to let you out and then we had to
help you back in and you climbed into your favorite
crate and lay down and I sat and petted you.
I left the room for a couple minutes and when
I came back you were gone leaving a huge hole
in my heart. I miss you sharing my morning cornflakes,
you would eat one flake at a time and crunch
it thoroughly before you begged for another
which made us laugh. How could a big dog chew
up one little corn flake?
It is
comforting to know you are at the Bridge with
those who have gone before you and Dad and will
be waiting. Uncle Mark misses sharing his pretzel
rods with you.
