Donation Made in Memory of Mookie 
| Mookie On
October 29, 1993, my husband and I adopted our first dog, Mookie, who was rescued
and fostered by Susan Saulvester. Mookie was our only dog for four years until
we decided she might benefit by having a companion. Plans were made to get a second
Aussie, Bob, from another breeder. Before Bob could join us, however,
fate intervened and we wound up with another dog. This started early one morning
when Mookie and I were outside. A beagle-obviously a stray-approached us and followed
us up our driveway to the house. Mookie didn't like this interloper and let him
know by turning around and barking at him nonstop."Buddy" joined our
family not long after, and Mookie showed us she was the "boss" dog,
as explained by the following. One warm spring day after Buddy had
been with us just about two months, my father-in-law came over to garden and decided
to take Mookie and Buddy out to the "back 40." While out back, Buddy
picked up a scent and strained to be let off the leash. My father-in-law let him
go! Mookie immediately began barking furiously, straining to get off the leash.
Dad let her off the leash also, and off she went, chasing Buddy, barking all the
while! As Dad told us later, he lost sight of them as they entered the woods;
but he could hear Mookie barking. He said the sound of her barking grew faint
as they ran through the woods and then grew louder as they came down our road
and up the driveway to the house. Once back at the house, she sat down on the
patio, and looked at him as if to say, "What were you thinking? Don't do
that again!" In addition to being "boss dog," Mookie
became the official greeter, welcoming neighbors, friends, and family who came
to visit. She especially loved children, as we saw when our six-year-old nephew
visited for a few days without his mother. It was his first time away from home
and he cried for his mother. Mookie got up, walked into his room, jumped into
bed with him, and he was not upset any longer. On December 31, 2009,
we lost our beloved Mookie. She had been a member of our family for 16 years,
and we miss her daily. Having Mookie in our lives was a joy! |

Made in Memory of Sheila 
| MOTCH,
U-OCH Feathertop Sassi Sheila, UDX, RE Sheila
was one of a kind, as far as my performance dogs go. She was a sassy little
puppy but became a beautiful working dog. She made me proud of her everytime
we went into the ring whether we passed or failed but she did more passing than
failing for me. She won many first places
and High in Trials in the Canadian Kennel Club, United Kennel Club and American
Kennel Club. She won the High in Trial in 2006 at the Australian Terrier Specialty
in Obedience She was her own little lady but
also loving and liked to please (when it pleased her). I
can't imagine another Sheila but I guess they all are one of a kind.
I
lost her 0n June 23, 2009 at the age of 10. I
know she is waiting for me on the other side of the rainbow bridge. Karen

Made in Memory of Prince 
| Prince 12/27/2001
to 10/19/2010 Prince was my beloved fur baby. Since he was 12
weeks old, we spent hours together each day doing all the things he loved: stealing
my socks for treats, riding in the car with the windows down (even during the
winter), walking in the woods rain or shine, playing tug and ball with us and
his sister (Lucy)- he always won. We did all these things the day before he
died - in my arms at home from a very rare and untreatable cancer of the spleen.
Just as he waited so patently for me each day at the door, I
now patiently wait for our reunion someday across the rainbow bridge. -

Made in Memory of Adel 
| Adel From
the first moment we saw Adel, her love for us and our family was something special
from this little girl of an Aussie, who we recently lost at an age of thirteen
years.
With her easy-going manner, Adel just loved being held, especially
watching Wheel of Fortune. What fascinated her about this show we could never
resolve.
Adel also exhibited an unusual interest in producing well-defined
shapes, such as a straight line, angles, or curves with her kibble bits. Most
importantly, Adel was all Australian Terrier, full of love and life, a little
mischief, and doing her best to please.
Adel is so missed.

Made in Memory of Rosalie 
| J-B-G's
Hare Farm's New Blue Rose (Rosalee) Born
Sept 2, 2002. Named after her Great Aunt "Yaralla's Wild Rose" (Rosie),
but was nothing like her.
From the first time we saw Rosalee (10 Weeks)
, she told us how it was going to be. Rosalee was independent, headstrong,
and bossy, unless of course she was being your best friend, your bed buddy or
your protector.
Rosalee protected her 4 acres. There wasn't a squirrel,
possum, deer, snake, turtle or lizard that did not fear her.
We lost Rosalee
November 22, 2010 due to cancer. She had a short life but she lived big.

Made in Memory of Bear 
| Bear Bear
was a part of the family before we ever knew he existed. In April of 2006
Pam and I received an e-mail from the Breeder (Marsha Gray) of another one of
the Australian Terriers we already had in the family. At that time I had sworn
that we would not have a third dog in the house (We had Boomer and Jodie, both
Australian Terriers, already). Pam was in one part of the house reading the
e-mail and I was in the other. She came to me, and to her surprise saw that I
was crying. I had just read the message that Susan Saulvester had sent out with
respect to Bear. Pam asked if we might know of someone who would be willing
to take care of Bear. Before she could finish the sentence, I said we would. For
whatever reason, and I can't explain it, Bear was already a part of me and I could
not turn him away. As Pam would later put it, Bear and I were bonded at the
heartstrings. I remember going to the Vet office that Bear was staying out.
They brought Bear out to me and immediately he came over to me and licked my face
(Bear was a great, albeit sloppy kisser!!!). After a short while of getting to
know each other, I was ready to leave with Bear. The original intent of the Vet
was for us to have a trial weekend with Bear to see how things would work out.
As I was leaving they expressed just that sentiment, and I looked them right in
the eyes and said you don't understand, Bear is never coming back, he has a new
home and we will do anything to make it work. I was never going to give him up. The
true testament to what Bear meant to our family is best stated by Pam. While she
and Boomer have a very special bond, she has admitted that there never has been
another dog that she has known that was sweeter than Bear. All I can say is that
Bear was the true example of the unconditional love that a dog gives its owner.
While Bear fought against diabetes, vestibular and hypothyroidism for the entire
time we had him, he never stopped loving us and always had a smile on his face.
We know he was suffering, but he never showed it, or stop dedicating himself to
his family. On January 25th 2011 we lost our dear sweet Bear. He was with us
for less than 5 years, but his love and memory will last a lifetime.

Made in Memory of Bailey 
| Bailey Bailey
was eight years old when we adopted him, having spent all his life in a puppy
mill as a stud. He had a chronic yeast infection in one ear and had most of his
teeth removed because of abscesses from lack of dental care. His eyes were dull
and muscles soft from a lack of stimulation and exercise. He also exhibited aggressive
kennel behavior at times around feeding. Over time with us, he transformed
into a sweet and loving little guy. His muscles became toned, his eyes brightened,
and his behavior softened. He loved to lie on his back in our backyard and in
his favorite cozy. He became an integral member of our furry family of two dogs
and two cats, always traveling with us on vacation trips. We tried to give him
as many great years as we could. Alas, after four plus years with
us, his time ran out. A severe tumor in the left side of his head forced us to
put him down when the pain became too great. It was a crushingly sad time when
we had to say good-bye to this sweet little dog. His legacy lives on, however,
in our newly acquired, Jesse, a younger male Aussie, whom we adopted through ATR.
We often refer to him as Bailey's Gift, as we have come to love this spunky, smart,
and lovable breed. We'll miss you, Bails. Marc & Susan
