Note: Since the time that
this tribute to their beloved Sam was
simultaneously printed in the SSMF Guardian and
listed here on the rainbow bridge in
earlier this year, Dr.'s John & Lynn Parker
recently also donated an SSMR Online auction
purchase (also a donation!) in Sam's memory to
the raffle for the MCOA specialty in 2012!
SSMR sends a huge thanks to our friends John &
Lynn Parker for their support of Mastiff rescue
and offer our sincere condolences on their loss. |

Sam went through our rescue 1st when
his family could no longer keep him. We were
the foster family for him at that time. He went
to a wonderful home and then they were
transferred out of the country so Sam came back
into the system. We once again were able to
foster him. Well, Sam was the dog I would most
love to have as my own so we inquired about
adoption and were blessed to have him. He
crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of 8,
quietly here at home. I spent his last day with
him. petting and loving him. He died in the
middle of the night and I am glad that I was
able to be with him till the end.
Sam was the best of all things
Mastiff! A loving heart, true obedience, such
unbridled love that left you glad to be around
him. He was the best foot warmer (if you didn’t
mind squashed feet!) and he stayed by my side
always. I am so glad to have had Sam in my life! |

While your time on earth was very short, your large paws
left quite lasting marks.
How unfair your early days had been.
What joy you made for us
with in. Spencer/ Moose you were loved!
However brief, you are
still loved!

Merlin, rest
well our friend.
Although you shared our life
for only a short time, we were blessed to have
had that time with you. Your noble bearing,
quiet grace, unconditional love, and utter
devotion enriched every day. We love you and
miss you.... |
We were blessed to have "rescued" you and love
you for 11 years, 2 months & 27 days, but even
that didn't feel like long enough. You were with
us through 1 marriage, 2 kids, 4 moves and
Hurricane Katrina! We can't remember a day when
you weren't in our lives, and it is so hard not
to have you here now. You were our first "baby."
We know you are in a better place, and able to
walk and play again, but we miss being able to
snuggle with and love you! We miss your fur,
your soft ears, your big wet kisses and your
goofiness, but we know you are up there with
Robbie, watching over us and making sure we are
OK. We love you so much! Until we meet again....
Goodnight, sweet dreams, we love you! May the
angels watch over you and keep you safe! |

Landondale’s Deerhollow Keeper
6/27/01 – 7/7/08
We
just recently wished Mulligan a happy birthday, now we
say goodbye to our very special boy. I’ll repeat his
birthday description: He spent a few years as a great
Therapy dog, a watchman for 'his girls', he has been a
beloved friend to all.. both human and critter, a hill
to climb over for little children, a greeter at our
front door, a window screen remover when there were
girls in heat , and many more wonderful things. We
have truly been blessed! He is out of Ch Pegasus
Deerhollow Thunder and Cameo Pearl of Canterbury
(Thunder is owned and loved by Tonie and Jeremy Lansing
in Florida... great friends who we will always be in
debt to for trusting us with this very precious boy!!)As
most dog lovers know, our hearts are broken because we
will miss him so much. Tonight, Doug cooked chicken and
set it near the edge of the counter. We both agreed it
would have been gone had Mulligan been here.
J
We were sad that the chicken was untouched.
Thank you, sweet baby boy, for all the love you gave to
the world, for treating us so good and being so great.
You have always been the very best ambassador of, not
just your breed, but the whole animal kingdom! Thank
you for the footprints you left in our hearts. You have
spent your whole life as a truly GREAT dog. We will
miss you forever.
