It saddens us deeply to hear that the boy that
stole my heart from early on as a promising show dog, now leaves a big
hole in so many people's hearts. He has done so much for the sheltie
world, as a great ambassador in so many venues. He had
a heart bigger than the 'space' that we could give him, and altho it
took some 4 years for him to land in the right hands, it couldn't have
been a better match with Kate - thank you Linda Howie for your perseverance in getting Kate to come and see him! I could add
too, so many stories of his antics - how he figured out how to get onto
the table and gobble up the butter; finished off Mike's
steak dinner one night, but amazingly left mine! Good BOY! Figured out
how to go from a chair, onto a desk, then over the 4' xpen, and down
onto the puppy crate, to the floor, to eat a litter of pup's meal! Took
me awhile to figure out just how he was standing in the puppy pen,
asking to be let out. His excitement to see my mom one day, caused us
to have to make a trip to the emerg to have the skin on her shin sown
up. Oh Panda, the stories, the fun, the zest for life that you
instilled in so many of us, the smiles you put on one judge's face as a
Senior Puppy in the show ring, and on children's faces ... the memories
will live on with so many of us for a very long time. Kate, may you
know I couldn't have asked for a better home to work with this 'brat'
and that I will cry with you for awhile. I am SO glad I was able to
see him in May. He was a once in a life time dog. You came into the
world living through the Great Ice Storm of January 1998, and have left
on a Rainbow. Panda you are now free to play in the fields. Pls say hi
to the Shelamo gang that has left before you. Hugs Kate.
