May 24, 2015 our Skippy went to Rainbow bridge.  

Skippy was brought into our life by our late friend Kathie Cupp.  Kathie saw him at Bonnie's Pet's Plus in Stafford and came by our home and said you guys have to come and see this puppy!  Kathie says I think it's a Schipperke.  Earl and I drove to see the puppy and it was love at first sight.  That cute little face, pointy ears and a bid ole head and little body no tail as it has been docked.  There was just a little nub he was so cute!  Skippy was born September 30, 200 in Missouri and Bonnie's Pet's Plus had gotten him from the breeder and we were so glad Kathie saw him and told us that he looked like a Schipperke.  It was December 16, 2002 and we had lost our dog Captain on August 16, 2002 so only a few short months and we just knew we wanted Skippy.  Bonnie was selling Skippy for $900 and we got her down to $650 cash.  We got him home and our kitten loved Skippy from the start.  Tony was born August 5, 2002 so our boys grew up together. 

We got you home with us in a few hours and you fit in perfect with our kitten Tony.  You and Tony played all day and night, napped played again.  Tony showed you around the house and you were just an awesome puppy.  However, you didn't like other dogs you only liked cats.  You were a cute and loving companion for all your 12 years and 8 months we had with you.  Skippy you were Earl's Christmas present from me a little early it was December 16, 2002.  So four months after losing Captain you brought joy and unconditional love to me, Earl and Bryan.  I'm so blessed to have had you in our life for as long as we did.  I love you Skippy and I'll remember all the happy fun times. 

You sure did love all your toys through the years and you were a great squeaker!  Your favorites were Girl squirrel, Chrissie dog, Green Ducky, Buddy ball and the Frisbee's through the years.  I remember how much you loved the snow putting your nose and plowing through the snow making a trail.  God this is so hard I miss you so much.  I wanted to add how much you hated getting up early in the morning and getting your toenails clipped.  I tried to cut them but it was hard and we had to muzzle you.  Oh and you sure did love your Dentyee Bones and doggie treats.  So Skippy until we see you in heaven I know Midnight, Jack and Captain will show you around Rainbow Bridge where you can run free and be healthy and happy.  I love you sweet Skippy...
