Thank Y ou For All Those who Help Our LIttle Friends

Jeff and I really never knew how much Indy had meant to us until we had to make a decision that would change our lives. Indy would wake Jeff up several times in the middle of the night to go out and to get a drink of water, he loved his water, when it came time for him to eat he would let you know, he would even start an hour or so early, dancing around and nugging your leg, Indy never barked but when he wanted something he would let you know.

We new something was really wrong when Indy started pacing and whimpering, I contacted a vet near our home and ended up taking him in, and as you all know we had to make a decision for the sake of Indy, we cried at the thought of losing him but knew what we had to do, Jeff left work to be with us at the vets office, Indy knows he is LOVED!, I held him close to me the whole time telling him we all love him as he fell asleep. Besides losing a family member that has 2 legs it is just as hard to lose a family member with four legs.

Indy came to Linda a scared little man, but with lots of love and time he came out of his little shell and learned how to show love back. Whom ever let Indy out of theirs lives years ago don't know what they were missing..

Indy's ashes will be spread out over the mountains of North Carolina, He will be free once more to romp and play with the big dogs, and I am sure he will keep them in line :)

Again, thank you all for doing what you do in giving four legged souls another chance at a better life.

We miss Indy, but his time had come and we didn't want him to suffer, not even for one more day for our sake.

One From The Heart

When I first met Indy, he was so shy acting, so scrubby, he had longer legs than what I expected, his hair was short, infact I am not sure his hair ever looked long, but he was cute,
Indy had such a gentle spirit, sometimes he was so quiet you would almost step on him, when he had to go out side he would go to the door and just patiently stand there maybe scratch on the door until someone let him out, for some reason he never liked walking on grass, I think it was because he was raised in a puppy mill and was always on concrete.

Indy would lick you sometimes but it was usually only one lick, I hear he only weighed 4 lbs when he was adopted, he weighed about 11 lbs or so when he left this earth, I don't think Indy knew how to react to love a lot, he did his best though, we figure he had about 17 years on this earth and 5 of them we know was good, he had it coming.

We had him for about 3 years, our other dog Bear wasn't as patient with Indy as we were, Indy has been with my son Jeff and shelly until March 26, 2007, Jeff an Shelly took him to the vet and found out he had cancer.

In the end he was blind and deaf , his body was shutting down.

In the last 5 years Indy was never alone or lonely.
On March 26, 2007 Indy was put to sleep.

I am not sure if there is a place for dogs to go when they pass on, but if there is, sweet Indy will be there.
Linda and I miss Indy, and I am sure Jeff and Shelly does to.
