Ollie, brave and bright (Summer 2006-June 2022)
Named after a skateboard trick for his air-bound puppy feats.
Heart of gold and endlessly enthusiastic. Across rocks, mud,
rivers, and forests—from LA to DC—he was my best friend. A rugged
mutt, explorer, thoughtful companion, comedian. Grateful for every
minute of our 16 years together. I wish it could have gone on
forever. You made us all very, very happy. Thank you

You left us so fast I had no time to say good-bye. We got up like
we always do at 4:54 am and by 5:00 am you were gone. I picked
your little body off the road and carried you one last time. Your
little body was still warm. My heart is devastated and my head
refuses to believe the truth. You are my Ollie Ollie and you will
always be. Ebby searches for you nightly and in time I hope that
eases. I love you Ollie Ollie. I hope you are sitting on my
dad's lap. He needed a good dog on this side.
Your ashes are now home and I have a special memorial for you.
Hope to see you in my dreams.

My little Olive died. My constant companion for 15 years. A sweet
and loving little dog. My heart is broken. No one can ever take
her place.
I love you Ollie. 💔💔❤️😢

So it has come to this..
Yesterday I released Osiris, my little Warrior Pup, to the other
side of pain and into Peace.
My fitness coach, who walked me from 5am to midnight, 7 days a
week, no fail, no excuses.
Thank you
My constant protector, who went for the ankles of all intruders
(including me at times). Always on the lookout for anyone or
anything who dared to enter his domain(s). If he visited your
house, it became his and he was on duty.
My little soul mate, with me through all of the good
(relationships, marriages, parties, new friends) and all of the
bad (Passing of my Mother, relationships, divorces, bad days..).
He was no lap dog for sure, but he managed to work his way into
many hearts with his no nonsense attitude and occasional cuddles
to keep you encouraged.
My teacher, who gave me daily lessons , and several masterclass
sessions, on being fearless in all situations and getting the most
out of every day and every encounter. It was nothing for him to go
after real sized Dobermen who crossed his path, modeling that
warrior spirit, saying to me "this is how you do it"...
Being the good student that I am, I will fearlessly move forward
working to get the best and most, out of every encounter and every
day.
Thank you little one for 12 years of adventure
Au Revoir ~ I will see you somewhere over the rainbow🐾🌈💔💖
