SEPARATE LIFETIMES


We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle; easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan....

We lost our beloved Natasha in the early morning hours of Wednesday, August 17, 2005.  

 Natasha was a big, silly, lovable, goofy, clever, and protective alpha female.  She was born on June 1, 1996, so we had her for approximately 8 years.  Natasha came to us as a foster rescue dog; however, we became so attached to her that we could not give her up.  We knew she was deaf but Natasha had so many enduring qualities that the deafness was not important.   We miss Natasha very much and we will always be grateful for the love and pleasure she brought into our lives.  We thank Beverly for bringing Natasha to us and for the privilege of giving Natasha a home.


Penny Mac Donnell

In Memory of our " Special" Ma, (age 90) Margurite Yargeau, Lisbon, Maine who taught me to appreciate and love our dogs "Penny" and " Major" when I was little.  

Margaret's legacy lives on through the love she brought for animals through her family and their donation to our cause in saving dogs.

When we first saw Rosie at the shelter, she was only 6 weeks old, her hip bones were poking through and her tummy was distended from worms.  She blossomed into a happy, sweet little girl and with the best little personality, but she never did completely recover physically.  Sadly she developed a serious case of mange that did not respond to extensive treatment but rather spread over most of her body causing her considerable pain.  To end her suffering we put her to sleep.  

Sweet dreams little one.

Lifelong best friends.

In Memory of our sweet cocker spaniel, Pookie, born February 1992; died April 19, 2005  

Pookie was a sweetheart. On those days when she felt good, she was just as spirited and happy as when she was as a puppy, despite being thirteen. On those days when those tumors were bothering her, she sure looked like she was suffering.  I had her cremated, and was going to spread her ashes in my back yard, but I remembered Pookie didn't like really didn't LIKE being outside, so she now has a prominent place on the fireplace mantel, near my grandmother's clock.

I miss her terribly!

Bessie, you will be missed sweet girl. 

Sweet little Aggi, you will be missed. 

Rest now little ones.  You will be missed.

In memory of my younger brother, Wesley Earl Stanhope of Kennebunkportk, Maine who bravely fought a long battle with cancer that took him April 22, 2005.  He taught his 6 year old Cameron to love and respect animals as he had his older daughter Jody when she was growing up.

It is with heavy hearts, and wonderful memories, that Jim and I sadly announce the passing of our beloved mother, Virginia M. Terfruchte, shortly before 9:00 PM this evening. She left this world peacefully in her sleep with both of us at her side.  ~ Bob & Jim Terfruchte

In Memory of our mother Thelma Wallace Stanhope Jalbert of Lisbon, Maine who passed away January 4, 2006 at age 84 years old. She loved the half-grown stray German Shepard "Queenie" that my older brother Billy, when years ago at age 12, carried home from the village, then put her down when he got near our farm, and coaxed her the rest of the way, exclaiming to our mother "Look who followed me home! Can we keep her?' My brothers and I will always have a special place in our hearts for German Shepherds after having had the experience of having a great German Shepard dog, that our mother let us keep when Queenie "followed my brother home!"

A donation was made to German Shepherd Rescue Central Texas By Blenda Howell in honor and memory of Joseph Bricking:

Joe and Shannon's shared love of animals began with the adoption of their first two dogs, Sophie and Rose, in 1979 and 1980.  Following the dogs' deaths in 1995 they adopted Annie the first of what was to become their family of eight rescue dogs.  Two of these initially came into their home as foster dogs, but after taking Sassy to Adoption Day where she cowered behind his legs Joe decided they couldn't give her up and announced to Sassy and later to Louis, "this will be your home forever." He spent his last days in the comfort of their company and Shannon's at home among his beloved pine trees.  

Humans and animals have lost a friend, but gained an angel.
