Last night, Patty called Bob & Diana Rush, our good friends who live in Enterpise, OR. She spoke with Bob, who gave her the bad news that both of their dogs, Bailey - pictured above, and Lady -pictured below, had to be put down. Due to Lady's old age, we knew that the decision for her was in the near future. We just learned that little Bailey became ill in the past few weeks, and the decision to have her put to sleep was quite unexpected. It was about the time we opened Jamestown Harley-Davidson in CA, in the mid 90's, that Bailey became part of Bob & Diana's family, and Lady came into their life after they moved to Enterprise. When we were in Enterprise, about 2 months ago, I took these pictures.
We also just learned that our neighbors in Lake Havasu, Tony & Michelle, had to have their little dog Charlie put to sleep, due to an illness. Our hearts go out to our friends, who like ourselves, are dedicated to our pets who bring us so much joy. Our old Beagle - Sami is approaching 13 years of age, and I'm not ashamed to say that when we lose her, it's going to be a very difficult time for me. The loss of our 18 year old cat - Tera, a couple of years ago was especially tough for Patty. The one thing that all of us should take comfort in, is the fact that our animals have had the very best of everything, and their lives were better, because of us.
