Memories of SCOOBY
SIGH...Well, my dear sweet boy here we are again, it just seems to be that we return to memorialize so many so quickly. But that is part of the price we pay for the loving "old dogs". Although you certainly weren't old the first time you ventured to our home with Buddy to have a snack. You came from the same terrible place that Princess and Buddy came from but for you the fight was much harder.
You came and you went venturing in for snacks and dinner just like Buddy until that fateful night when we heard your distressing bark at the gates. Your daddy went down to find you there with a nasty infected cut on your back and it was soooo cold. So we opened those gates and never let you go until.....the day the policeman showed up to take you away after we had you for six months, nursed you back to health and paid your doggy taxes at the courthouse.
Thus began the worst 31 days of our journey. We had to give you back because the mean nasty lady who gave you up decided she wanted you back, and told the police we stole you. Well, we surrendered you. And for 31 days you lived on a chain with a piece of tin for shelter, daddy would sneak up through the woods to see that you were still alive.
Then one evening, I won't say by chance because I believe with all my heart that there is no chance just what God wants to happen ....and He wanted us to be at a party where a dog loving lawyer was who happened to know daddy. He said, " what is wrong, you don't seem like yourself, John?" And daddy got to tell him your story....thus began the journey with the court system that gave me the name, "the dog woman" every time I walk into our courthouse. By the way, I wear that title proudly!!!After a long battle, the judge awarded custody to us. I will say that $2 dog tax was the ticket, it proved that we were your owners.
....And so the journey began, the day you came back, you were a mess. I brushed and brushed you. I fed and fed you, which was always your favorite thing to do EAT!!! Our rolly polly dog. We never looked back and neither did you for the next 15 years you gave us joy, heartache and a love that will go on forever with us. You, Princess, Buddy and Lucky Girl were our original orphans, now only Lucky Girl remains. So many miles your feet traveled up and down those country roads with Lucky until you came to live behind the gates with us. Sometimes I see Lucky laying outside just looking around, I am so sure she is looking for you.
Although, we have 5 now Lucky is the only one who has seen you each come and go.
I miss you so much, in your last days just like Kaizer and Maddie you layed by the stairs. You were such a proud dog. Always, dominate and always trying to play even in the end. That day, you went under your bush down by the gates and wouldn't come back in to the a/c we knew it was time.
You went so willingly with me, to the vet that day. And like the others, I count myself blessed to have been there looking in your eyes as you left this world for the next....it was my honor to love you then, now and always..Just as it was my duty to allow you to cross over to a land where you will be forever young and healthy.
I love you my beautiful Scooby, I thank you from the bottom of my heart as does daddy for allowing us the pleasure of being your parents for 15 years.
Go now and rest by the cool streams, say hi to Princess, Kaizer, Maddie, Old Girl Belinda Sue and our Buddy.
When God grants us our exit from this world, I hope the first thing I can see is the face of all those I love, and each of you..along with our Master who made a dog to be the most loyal companion a human will ever be fortunate enough to love.

My beautiful boy, mommy has left your candle for the service tonight. I will think of you as always. I miss you my rolly polly doggie.
7/15/14
My beautiful rolly polly boy, how I miss you and your love of eating. The house is different now without you here laying in the hallway. The others are continuing on but I can tell your passing has bothered Ms. Lucky, she stays to herself a lot now. I miss you my buddy. I hope you know that we did all we could to allow you to live out your life in a place where there was never ever a chain around your neck from the day you came to us. I love you Scooby and I thank you for all the years you gave to us. You were a smart doggie.
7/23/14
Oh my boy how you loved to eat. I miss that a lot!!
8/5/14
I sit here and think of how you would love the fact that Fall is fastly coming on us and your anticipation of the snow would be great. I am so glad you got to bury your face one more time and enjoy the winter. You loved the snow and I loved you my big rolly polly boy. The house is not the same without you.
9/30/14
My beautiful boy Fall is here and this will be our first Winter in many many years without you, this is going to be something as I know how much you enjoyed the snow. I am forever grateful that you got to enjoy your last big snow and that I have that precious picture of you burying your head in the snow. I love and miss you always.
6/15/14 My beautiful boy, it is so amazing to me that you have already been gone from us for a year. You were our 3rd orphan when we came here. I miss you boy. And I am once again blessed for having you in my life
11/30/15
My beautiful boy your season is fast approaching . You loved winter, we miss you my precious boy. Lucky is still hanging in there. She is our last original orphan. BJ is not well we call him 3 cylinders now , he hobbles on three legs. But he isn't in pain so we just allow him to live. We miss you our precious boy and I am sure we will even more with the snowfall. Always forever in our hearts.
1/19/16
My beautiful boy, it is cold and snowy, your favorite time. I miss you run free and forever healthy in heaven.
1/21/16
My beautiful boy I can just close my eyes and see you running . In your youth you were like a streak of lightening...in your old age you were fat and happy LOL. We miss you boy always, especially when it snows I cant help but look out the window of the sitting room and see the snow piling up and how that last winter you buried your head in the snow. You were a trooper my buddy boy all the way to the end. I love you always.
1/25/16
Mommy has left your candle for the service tonight. Thinking of each of you tonight and always
2/1/16
My boy mommy has left your Valentines things I hope you know how much love you left behind. I love you to the moon and back again
2/9/16
Mommy left you some fries on this cold day. I know you loved your fries . I will always remember that broken tooth. How you would grab those fries and be so gentle so you wouldn't hurt my fingers
2/17/16
My boy, if only this human world could have the love and devotion and pureness of spirit that you had.
2/23/16
I think of you now that the snow has melted,today I think of how you hid under the bush when you knew it was time. Then when daddy finally got you out he put you in the car and you wagged your tail. Even in your last hours of your life you wanted us to know that you were grateful for the life you had here. I miss your spirit so much. I can close my eyes and see your little legs carrying your little fat body through the yard barking as you ran and then having to rest for hours . I love you Scooby even in all your issues you were loyal and I am grateful we got to have you in our lives.
2/16/16
My boy I miss you lots.
3/4/16
Mommy has left your Easter things. Love you my boy it is snowing today, I can just close my eyes and see you laying in the driveway in the snow.
3/12/16
Brother is home baby boy...He is with us for a month before heading back to the middle east. I love you baby forever and always.
3/19/16
I sit and think of how fast your legs used to carry you in your youth. Like a flash you would run beside the fence line. It was so funny to watch you as you grew older and heavier....you still ran like a little flash... I miss you Scooby
3/23/16
I just finished mowing for the first time this year, I looked around and you weren't there laying in the sun like usual. Now Lucky Girl and Bud-Jones stay out of the sun so I only have three watching me. I miss you my big beautiful roly poly dog. I sure am glad you were mine!!
3/29/16
Even with five there is still a silence .... as I sit and listen to Bella breathe it reminds me of you and how you would sit behind me as I was at the desk. I miss you a lot.
4/4/16
Mommy has left your candle for the service tonight. I love you Scooby Doo

My beautiful boy. I was so blessed to be a part of a rescue weekend before last. The boys name was Joker. A funny one indeed. He was part cattle dog and great dane. That cattle dog part sure did remind mommy of you. He was a such a good boy. Like you. I love you Scooby and I am forever blessed that I got to watch you turn from a fast paced young one to an old man. And that we got to be yours for a little while.
4/27/16
My beautiful orphan boy, I look at BJ and at Lucky, the only two left of you originals....BJ hobbles on 3 legs and Lucky she is so senile...but they still love and depend on us and are so far living a good life at their old age. There was a terrible storm here last night, I had BJ, Lucky, Capt. Jack and Turbo in the room with me, Bella doesn't seem faced with the storm she was snoring LOL. I remember you , you were such a dominate and proud boy BUT in the ending of your days when it stormed, you wanted your momma. I was glad to oblige, thank you for letting us share your life Scooby. Run wild free and happy my dear sweet boy.
12/19/16

My beautiful boy, it is hard to believe that you have been gone for 5 years, but you have. Somehow in my mind I never considered you leaving. I don't know why, maybe because it was that you were one tough cookie. Went through so much to get to our home and our pack and lived so well. I miss you boy and I hope we did well by you the day you came in those gates forever I think you knew and you relaxed. I miss you my fat roly poly boy.

08/02/19
Missing you today sweet boy!! So grateful to have been a part of your story.
08/08/19
Hello sweet boy, today I am thinking of the way you were in your youth. So fast you could run, my oh my. I am so very glad you got to have a good life for the latter years, most of all I am grateful you chose us to do it with.
08/30/19
Beautiful boy, I think of you and how you loved Winter time. The last winter you were here you enjoyed a deep snow and I am thankful you got to do that, I miss you buddy. You were so quick and fast and young when you first came to us, and over the years you became a roly poly dog but you still managed to come running or should I say waddling to us every time we came into the drive way. I love you always and forever.
09/03/19
It is a sunny day today which makes me giggle because you would be sitting in the air conditioning.
09/11/19
Dedicating this day to all of your fellow puppies who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks on our nation. WE SHALL NEVER FORGET
09/19/19
I think of you often, I just never thought of you being gone. You became such a beautiful spirit, even through all the pain you managed to finally settle in. I miss you lots , it is hard to believe it has been almost 5 years. You were the picture of loyalty once you came back that last time, you knew .... you knew you were home.
10/2/19
Sending you love and light above.
11/19/19
I miss you and I love you, the Winter season is coming, I remember so well how this was "your time" of the year. Scooby, Jacko is not doing well. He fell today and hasn't ate very much. I have the feeling that it won't be long til he joins you at the bridge. My prayer is that he can just go to sleep right here at the house. He is 13 now which is crazy for a Great Pyrenesse, he is really just getting tired I see it in his eyes. I hate this!! After him we only have Bella. Gosh I can remember when our house was full 9 at one time. Time has passed and we know because we are getting older that we will never be able to have that many again. We love you and we ask that you and all the others pray that Jack will tell us when it is time to cross over.
12/2/19
Good morning sweet boy, mommy has left your candle for the service tonight. You will have two new and very special friends coming this week. Puppice and Molly please welcome them in and show them around all the beautiful sites of heaven.
