These are companions that have sadly crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
They will for ever be in our hearts and never be forgotten.
Now they run free, play, are painless and eat all day :)
Helmsman's Gypsie CD, WD, WRD, CGC
April 22, 1995 - July 12, 2006

Gypsie was helped over the bridge at just over 11 years of age due to Mast Cell Cancer/Tumor
Gypsie had a prior growth removed in her mouth & on her toe over the years, both were non cancerous.
I can't describe the pain I felt when I was left with making the decision to help Gypsie over the bridge.
The pain I feel when I remember the original times with my companion
She was always happy and bouncing, loved loved to swim.
Gypsie is the reason I'm so involved in the breed today.
Sometimes I think she is gonna come bouncing around the yard or chase a deer again.
To me she still blocks the refrigerator door
Gone for just a little while...........
she awaits for me.....
and someday we will snuggle again
Gypsie's Urn will be as below
I love you Gyps

Kloofbear's Chula Raquelina
November 1997 - August 2001
Earned 1 leg towards her CD title, prior to becoming ill.


Courian crossed the bridge due to Immune Mediated Polymyostitis at 3.5 years of age.
Courian loved loved loved to eat. So prior to having to help her over the bridge,
I allowed for her to eat out of a full bag of kibble, she ate 1/2 a 33lb bag.
Til today, I feel happy that I gave her the daily wish she had
and was always caught in the bag :)

Helmsman's Amorosa Savana
Sept 1998 - April 2001
