You are so right, Diane. I wouldn't give up one second I've had with my pets
for all the ribbons and trophies in the world.

i am so sorry for your loss, sharon. there is NO "JUST" a pet ... when
the day is done, the ribbons and trophies are not what curl up next to you
and look at you with all the love in the universe. material and metal are
not loyal and it is that "PET," that extraordinary being, who is most
important of all. keep talking to your beloved boy ... he hears you.

CODA'S CHECKPOINT CHARLIE
August 2002 - November 2011
Sire: GV CH Mar Haven's Color Guard OFA, ROM
Dam: CH Coda's Precocious of Chablis OFA, ROM, TC
Breeders/Owners: Jon & Sharon Polifrone
I had to say farewell to my Charlie due to DM. This was my first
experience
with DM - what a horrible disease. After much success as a puppy (winning
numerous Best Puppy awards, except when his sister, Chickie Baby was
entered,
when he would take BOP!!), he did not grow into his promise as a show dog.
As he matured, I heard more than one "Oh, he's just a pet..." comments in
a
dismissive, derogatory voice aimed in his direction. Well, this "just pet"
was my constant companion, a balm to my soul on many occasions, and never
failed to give more love than he got - and that was almost infinite. Okay,
I
made him into a "mama's boy", but we both cherished that relationship.
Everyone who met Charlie was captured by his sweetness and gentleness, and
when he
let me know it was time to let him go, the vet's office was filled with
people who wanted to say good-bye. His dam, Cokie, and her sister, Ludy,
(now
almost 12) have outlived Charlie and I am so glad to still have them,
along
with two of Cokie's other progeny by different sires, but there is a huge
hole
in my heart where Charlie was - the tears just won't stop. Good-bye my
sweet, kind, loving pet.
