'Tis not love's going hurts my days,
But that it went in little ways.

In Loving Memory of Minnie

On August 13th, 2003 we lost to cancer the most precious little shorthair to ever grace a household. Little Minnie Minerva came to us late in life at the age of 9, and for the next five years gave us more joy and wonder than her family could have ever hoped. From her constantly wagging tail to  her demanding little bark for treats, Minnie was the momma of all shorthairs ever to cross paths with the German Shorthair Pointer Rescue of Wisconsin. Mother to nearly 100 pups before coming to us, it was our pleasure to grant this little girl a retirement that brought happiness to all who ever met her.
    Suddenly and without warning Minnie succumbed to cancer, and by God's divine grace left us for the Rainbow Bridge. Along with Brownie the Protector, Minnie now acts as Momma to All Shorthairs that romp though the heavenly fields -- and yearn for the loving touch of the ones they left behind.

We will meet again someday Little Momma, until then please be well. We miss you terribly.
