| This page is dedicated to those special friends who have left this world before us. They will always be remembered by their owners, their friends and NorAust. All were special to us in some way. |
| Familiar Shadow I see a familiar shadow Moving by my chair I reach down, my friend, to touch you But you're no longer there I suddenly remember You had to go away It broke my heart to lose you But I knew you couldn't stay Yet I look into the garden I'm sure that I can see You running chasing butterflies The way you used to be I'm sure I heard you barking It wasn't a mistake I strain to hear it once again For any sound you make When I walk down the country lanes I know that you're there too You're racing through the bracken Just like you used to do The rustling of the undergrowth That only I can hear I know it's just to let me know That you are still near I feel you by my bed at night Your warm breath on my cheek But I know you will disappear If I try to take a peak So I just lie here quietly And be content to know That in spirit you've come back to me And you'll never ever go. ~~~~ by Maggie Moore |
| Stoley's Sly Cat CDX AD CGC TT "STOLEY" April 20, 1989 - September 9, 2003 Stoley was the heart and soul of NorAust. Because of him Cindy turned from training and showing horses to dogs. He was Cindy's heart dog and carried her through college and after. He is often fondly referred to as the "best dog". I like to say he was "born a dog, but he died a king". |
| CH UAGI Camalot's Hit The Mark AX OAJ NAP OJP RN NAC NJC TN-N VNE TT HIC OFA CERF DNA "SKOR" May 14, 1996 - July 9, 2007 Skor was Cindy's first big show dog. He was always a character and the more people said "an elkhound can't do that", the more I set out to prove them wrong. A top performance dog, a wonderful protector, a faithful friend and as stubborn as a dog could be, he was dearly loved and he is missed every day. Skor carried Cindy through many hard and difficult times always there by her side. The kennel pasture was Skor's yard and not a day goes by that I don't miss his furry face in the yard. A tree now graces his grave and him and Stoley lie together, buddies forever. |
| BABY CLUE January 14, 2007 - March 29, 2007 Clue had only been with us for two weeks when she collapsed while playing and died in Cindy's arms. In just two weeks she left quite an impression on us and we still miss her sweet face. A necropsy found nothing wrong and the cause of death was never determined. Rest well little pup - may there always be sheep in heaven for you. |
| TRICK May 2001 - September 21, 2006 Trick was our resident kennel cat. He thought himself a dog and was often the subject of much distress during training classes. He felt no guilt about promenading through a class of dogs. He was a stray that no one wanted but he loved being here. We miss him. |
| UAGI Hestsko's Nikita's Winter Sky OA OAJ NAC NGC CL2-R Major Pointed "Nikita" November 24, 2003 - February 20, 2007 Loved and missed by Brooke & Glenn Hidalgo Nikita was an aspiring young agility and conformation dog training at NorAust. She died in a tragic accident by ingesting Sago palm seeds while visiting friends with her parents. Nikita was an absolute hoot to be around and you could often hear her woowooing her way around an agility course. It was always said that she was going to follow in Skor's footsteps. Wanna bet the two of them are now running agility courses in heaven? Her loss was felt deeply by all who knew her. |
| MERLIN Unknown birthday - July 23, 2007 Loved and Missed by Paulette Isaacs Merlin was a regular boarding client at NorAust. He was the most loving Great Dane. He always walked around the kennel with his 'froggie' in his mouth. Paulette rescued Merlin; he was a very lucky dog. We will miss his deep bark at NorAust. |
| PASCO Unknown birthday - 2005 Loved and Missed by Lyle & Phyllis Ternes Pasco was a rescue dog who came to live with Cindy of NorAust in 1999. Pasco was one of the worst cases of abusive to an animal I had ever seen. He was physically and emotionally scarred from the many beatings he had received in his lifetime. He spent months at NorAust trying to get rehabilitated but his distrust of humans prevented him from being adopted. Well, until Cindy's parents met him! They felt sorry for the poor guy and took him home as their own. Pasco lived in fear of many things, but he lived the rest of his life with a very loving family. He had many happy years and was truly given a new life. We guess he was about 14 years old when he passed away. |
| UAGI UAGII MACH One On Afterburner CDX AX AXJ NAP OJP HT OJP OAP CGC RS-N NAC GS-N NGC RV-O JV-N NJV OAV ASCA CD "SONIC" December 19,1994 - September 7, 2007 Sonic was a rescue dog that I rescued from a home when he was one year old. He had belonged to a former student who after having a baby decided they had no time for him. It was their loss as Sonic turned into a wonderful member of the family. In addition to competing in agility, obedience and herding, Sonic is also one of America's Best Singing Dogs. Sonic has appeared on many TV shows, radio programs and in commercials and has even shaken hands with the likes of Former Mayor Guliano. Sonic's pension for singing always kept birthday parties lively. Sonic was Nationally ranked for many years in agility and obedience. A faithful friend and a loving partner he will always be remembered as the "Spuddog" |
