Lucas: 1992 -2006: English Setter. Rest in peace my sweet boy. You are so deeply missed. I love you so...
Lucas was my first rescue dog, where I found him through a wait list at a local humane society. He came to me at the
age of 10 months, and had not been trained in anything other than to go potty outside. Lucas had lots of energy, and
liked to escape, so over the years I worked very hard on his recalls, and basic manners. He became the biggest couch
potato, cuddle bug I've ever had, and was just the absolute joy of my life! Lucas overcame 2 separate bouts of cancer
in his early years, and with the change in his diet and care as well, he was cancer free for over 8 years.
Unfortunately, Lucas had developed a tumor on his Spleen in 2006, and he left us to go to the bridge on December
16th, 2006.

Dexter: 1993 - 2007. My great protector..... You are so deeply missed. I love you so...
13 year old Golden Retriever. Dexter was the second rescue of the bunch, whom I brought to my home at the approximate age of 2
-1/2 years. Dexter was a stray who had been found by a farmer, tied to an old farm fence, abandoned and left to die. He was skinny
and filthy when I went to see him, so I brought him home and within hours of returning, he had settled in with the others and has been
a wonderful, loving and obedient member of the family ever since. He had his battles with seizures and skin allergies, in his younger
years, but has been completely free of all this since I began raw feeding and holistic care. He lost his battle with Bone Cancer, and
went to the bridge on December 20, 2007
