Honey was a true champion in all walks of life, by both appearance and temperament. From her Best in Shows, and achieving National Select status to motherhood, I have never met such a calm, stable, confident shepherd. She tragically lost her life senselessly for just being a dog.

Unfortunately, some people in this world have no respect for life and should never be allowed the privilege of a dogs complete trust and unconditional love, let alone the responsibility that comes with gun ownership.

Honey, we will always love you and cherish you, I am so sorry. Godspeed. my sweet girl....until we meet again.....

Honey came to us at the age of 3 1/2 years, after living most of her life in a kennel. I will always remember when I first saw her. Although a bit thin with an unkept coat, she was so striking. She was my diamond in the rough.

Honey went on into the showring, taking several best of breeds and one best in show. Honey blessed our lives in the two + years she has lived here at BelleGrace, giving us two beautiful litters.

 


BelleGrace's Holly
October 23, 1996 - April 18, 2009

100% GSD, never a Shiloh.
Sweet dreams, my girl. Now you can run free, healed and whole, once again.
Wait for me at the bridge.

 


Foxy's Sweetness for BelleGrace
April 14, 2006 - August 27, 2009
sire: bCh. jCh. Zion’s King Toran of BelleGrace, TT, CGC, TDI, ROM
dam: Zion's Foxy Wildthing

Kayla was a very special girl from a very special litter. She was a Foxy/Toran daughter, and was our miracle baby. She was born by emergency c-section, thought to be dead by sonogram, along with her other sibling. When born she was the lucky one that was still barely alive. She survived but at the cost of a severe heart murmur.

Kayla was a love, very friendly, like her sire, Toran. She talked like he does as well, only his is deep and throaty "Wooo-woo-woo's", hers were higher pitched "rooo-roo-roo's". Her tail was always happy, and wagged so hard her entire behind wagged too. She was always willing to please me and listened to everything, never questioning me as her sister does.

God Speed Kayla, Thank you for blessing me with 3 1/2 wonderful years. You will be remembered always.

 


BelleGrace's Miss Julie Ann
March 8, 2009 - February 22, 2010
sire: Genesis Skye
dam: bChptd, jrCH BelleGrace's Alleluia Seraphim, TT

We have no control over what life hands us, we just must have faith that God always has a plan. Julie was a very special girl, confident, outgoing, very friendly and exceptionally intelligent. She was my Allie's grand-daughter, and Allie was my heart and soul. I sent this girl knowing she was also going to be this couple's heart and soul. She left me at 8 weeks to go spend her life in Florida. It should have been a long life, but genetics handed her a horrible twist. As hard as we try, as much as we plan, research, and test, sometimes that is just not enough.

Julie left us, setting a perfect example of bravery. She faced her issues with courage, patience, determination and stamina. No one could have asked for more from this girl.

God Speed, Miss Julie Ann. May you be free from pain, and be able to run and play like a whole dog in the fields of heaven. Your grandma would have been so very proud of you. Now you join her at the Rainbow Bridge. You have touched everyone you have ever met, and will be missed by all.

 


Zion's Foxy Wildthing

March 11, 2000 - March 7, 2010
sire: Zion's Walker-Texas Ranger
dam: Zion's Echo Of Golden Splendor
[more about Foxy]

Words can not express my grief, Foxy died as she lived, always by my side. In my kitchen, her head in my lap, she went to the rainbow bridge. She was my heart and soul, my protector, my best friend.

A Dog For Jesus
I wish someone had given Jesus a dog As loyal and loving as mine To sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes And adore Him for being divine. As our Lord grew to manhood His faithful dog Would have followed Him all through the day While He preached to the crowds and made the sick well And knelt in the garden to pray. It is sad to remember that Christ went away To face death alone and apart With no tender dog following close behind To comfort its Master's Heart. And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn How happy He would have been As His dog kissed His hands and barked its delight For The One who died for all men. Well, the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine My Foxy so dear to me And I smile through my tears on this first day alone Knowing they're in eternity. Day after day, the whole day through Wherever my road inclined Four feet said, "I am coming with you!" and trotted along behind.
