Yes.....teary eyed.
On Easter morning, we found our old Alex girl had left us.
She was the last of four siblings that we kept many years ago.
Her sire was Ch. Rougue's Renegade (thanks, Joe and Cathleen) and
her dam was Can Ch. Bedkar's Theresa Jo, ROM.
These four were as different as night and day:
Otto (A/C Ch. Bedkar's Ouachita) was our first bicolor...as sweet as
any dog could be and a comedian, with a big toothy grin in that black face.
Alex (A/C Ch Bedkar's Alexandra) balck and red and very serious.
Angie (Can Ch. Bedkar's Angelica) A black and tan fur ball with funny little
ears,
ready to take on any adventure and to tell the world about it.
Hannah (Can. Ch. Bedkar's Adrianna) A very big dark red bitch with a faded back
saddle, who could fly like the wind and loved to try to trip up any handler that
did not know her.
These four qualified their Dam for her ROM. Each one brought us a different
joy.
The sadness of having them all gone is overwhelming.
