SAPPHIRE-Our first yorkie (Sept.23/89 - Sept.28/01)
~May you rest in peace, daddy's little girl~
It was a sad day in September of 2001,
when our beloved 12 year old Yorkie, Sapphire, went to Rainbow Bridge.
But Sapphire sent us a very special gift that day.
One we'll never forget.
Shortly after her passing, I looked out of our back window
and there in the sky, was a big beautiful rainbow!
She truly was at Rainbow Bridge.
Rest in peace, my darling JADE (Sept.12/90-Jan.5/98)
~If tears could build a stairway~
~and memories,a lane~

MANORBORN FLAIR (June 8th, 1993 - July 30th, 2004)(Am/PR/LA/INTL'Ch Caraneal's Charged and Ready X Ch. BloomsburyToodlelu)
"Our Little Angel Has Her Wings"
~Flair~
(Owned by Melony and Roxanne)
In June of 2001, our lives were enriched by a beautiful little Yorkie
in her retirement years.
At the age of 8, Flair walked into our lives
and began the journey of leaving numerous little footprints on our
hearts.
We could never have realized the wonderful adventure we were about to
embark upon.
From the first day she arrived, that winning personality
was beyond anything we had ever known.
Every minute of every day, Flair
displayed a level of affection
that would win over even the most
steadfast of proclaimed non-dog lovers.
She began each day with a loving lick of your eyelids to ensure you were awake
and ready to give her some well-deserved attention.
She would look into your eyes with a loving stare
that made you want to spend your entire day holding her,
petting her and telling her what a joy she was to have in your life.
We often referred to Flair as our "Queen," for she truly had a majestic
quality about her.
She had the characteristics of a true little lady,
as she performed every canine duty with a regalness
that would make you
stop whatever you were doing and observe her.
Even when she greeted
visitors at the door, she invited them inside with a manner befitting a
refined socialite.
Once inside, visitors realized why they had been
greeted in such a way...
you had to pet her and tell her about her beauty
- this was her reward for being such a hospitable host.
Man, woman,
young and old alike fell in love with this little girl;
it was
impossible not to be affected by the loving temperament of this
beautiful creature.
There was never a dog who could demand your attention just by her very
presence like Flair could.
As she anticipated affection from every
person who would stop to meet her while out walking and playing,
she
would assume a stance that somehow let you know that she believed she
was beautiful
and now you have the honour of being acknowledged and
kissed by her.
I could write pages, perhaps even a book, about how our lives were
touched by this spectacular animal.
Even then, I doubt I could relay
all that is in my heart.
As we strive to deal with our grief at her
passing,
we constantly remind ourselves of the gratitude we feel for
having had her as part of our lives.
Even in our darkest hours, Flair
was a reminder of all that is good in this world.
She was kindness,
caring, concern and,
most importantly, unconditional love brought to
life in the body of a little Yorkshire Terrier.
And, for each tear we shed since her passing, a complementing smile
also arises.
We are truly thankful to Preston and Mary Lou for giving
us the chance to love that little lady
who was so deserving of all the
care and attention we bestowed upon her.
Sweet dreams, our little Flair,
and forever we will kiss you good
morning and good night.
Your little mother of pearl urn sits next to
your picture and we will always adorn it with love.
Not even your
absence will remove you from our hearts, our minds and our souls.
Our
little angel has her wings.
Love, Melony & Roxanne
BAILEY LEAWOOD (Jan.2/2000-Sept.2/2009)
"Everything Made By God Goes Back to God"
I can't believe it's been a year, since you went away.
I miss you more and more with every passing day.
The wagging of your tiny tail, the kisses that you shared
Will always bring joy to me and memories so dear.
What I would give to hold you in my arms again.
I often dream about you, you're so full of life and vigor
Who would have thought you were the runt of the litter.
Life with you was great, couldn't be any better.
What gets me through each day
Is knowing you're not far away,
You have a place in my heart
and from there you'll never part.
We will always love and miss you, Bailey.
Nanny, Poppy, Lois, Chris and Bella.
