FUTUREHAVEN'S MAGIC CRYSTAL    'Crystal'      

 Dec. 2, 2001 to Feb. 28, 2014
Conformation Champion; Companion Dog (Obedience); Canine Good Neighbour; all around 'Cheeky Brat'

 

Some of you knew Crystal really well, others just meeting her every time you came to our door.
 
So I thought I would let you know, her Pancreas acted up again over the past couple of weeks.  She never recovered and passed away 
 
She will be missed - from her: "skunk coloured ears; to her "Crystal kisses"; to her "bossy" way with dogs that were not behaving; to her "story telling" to anyone that would listen; to her love and patience of kids.
 
She was my constant companion and always had to be lying close to where she could keep an eye on me - even when she was not feeling well, she would get up and move to where I was.
 
Her 'expert' talents at helping me in obedience classes will be non-replaceable.  She was always willing to do anything I asked.
 
Love them and spend time with them while they are still with us - they are gone too soon.

Most of you knew Haley really well, others just meeting her every time you came to our door.  We called her the "Walmart Greeter".
 
I thought I would let you know, her age finally got the better of her and she passed away.   When she turned 15 in February,  she still acted like an 8 or 9 year old, bouncing up and down the stairs and telling everyone she was still the boss "don't even think of taking over"  she would tell them!!!   Her short illness of two months was a blessing, she did not suffer and remained 'queen of the house' till the end.
 
She is so missed - from her: "long cuddles; sleeping under the foot of the chair so I had to wake her up before I could get out of it; to her love and patience for kids and her long, slow licks on your arm, lasting as long as a commercial"!!  Every year she posed with the Grand Kids in our Christmas picture.
 
She was my constant companion and always had to be lying close to where she could keep an eye on me - even when she was not feeling well, she would get up and move to where I was.
 
Her 'expert' talents at helping me in obedience classes and being 'the boss' there.... no other dogs ever challenged her, no matter what size they were, she just had that confidence about her that was unwavering.  Never anxious or upset at new surroundings, just took it all in stride, would even fall asleep on the vets table. 

She was always willing to do anything I asked and I am proud to be able to say that about all my Shelties.
 
Love them and spend time with them while they are still with us - they are gone too soon.
