It's been a very hard weekend here. We buried BOF BOM Ch. Kansten's Ducati HT PT TC OFA H & E and his sister Kansten's Ariel TC OFA H & E who both turned 12 last October. They were from the 2nd breeding of Kansten's Mahogany ROM OFA H & E to Leiter's Firecracker ROM TC OFA H & E. Desmo was so special to me, making me cry and laugh over the years with his antics. Those who knew him know of the many stories we made together, some good, some not so good but always entertaining. He was a gentle giant with babies and little kids, kind to the sheep, but didn't think those other dogs needed to be in his space. His sister Ellie always made me smile, a live wire ready to have fun and just darn cute. They are survived by at least one sister, Ch. Kansten's Britten and I believe there is another sister. There are still 2 sisters alive that I know of a from the 1st Mahogany x Firecracker litter that also produced Jim Dandy. I miss them both terribly.
