THERAPY K-9 GINA

 Therapy K-9 Belgian Shepherd  bitch ( Gina) to the dreaded cancer. The loss of Gina is very personal to me as I once leased her from her owner and I had a litter from her to our boy Montanna (which you you have on your tribute) which produced our lovely boy Tex who is now 4 years old and also a certified Therapy K-9.   She was a certified Therapy K-9 who was too nice and too young to pass.

THE  RAINBOW  BRIDGE
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green
grass. When a  beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm Spring weather. Those old and frail animals are young again. Those who have been maimed are made whole again.  They play all day with each other. But there is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth. So each day, they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches, the ears are up, the eyes are staring and this one suddenly runs from the group. You have been seen and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again. You look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.

Sire: RE Fandy Black de Condivicnum (Frn) - Dam: Shary del Castel Sardo (Imp Ndl)
Gina was a kind natured and gentle girl, born in Australian quarantine, she was the daughter of the gorgeous and famous French stud dog RE Fandy Black de Condivicnum.  She liked to cuddle and was quite content to curl up on my (her) bed. In her younger days Gina's favourite pastime (when I wasn't home to follow around), was to run around barking, stirring up the other dogs.  In her youth Gina’s goals in life were simple - to get her paws on my bantam chooks (for her own devilish purpose), or, chase the cows.  In maturity although she would still have liked to play chase the chook I suspect, she discovered there were other things more important like "FOOD" and "PUPPIES" .... anyone's puppies.   We said goodbye to our sweet and gentle girl on the 5th June 2005 - given sleep due to cancer of the stomach.  My fondest memories of Gina;
Gina lying with her head on my pillow stretched across my bed, waiting for me to get in before she moved to her special foam basket by my bedside, where she slept each night from the time I was blessed with her.  Looking into those beautiful and inteligent eyes.  Gina retired from showing in 1997 mainly due to her boredom with it all ....... lol.
My funny girl, who used to lie down in the show ring when she was bored, or the weather reached over 22 Celsius. 
Gina was the most wonderful mother, she loved and took the greatest of care of her own puppies and felt it was her duty to help take care of my other girls puppies when they had them as well. She would sit for hours starring longingly into the whelping box or room of whovever had puppies, she'd help clean them if they let her.  Gina loved everyone and she was loved by many people in return, she had/has some very special friends who will miss her nearly as much as I will. 
Your four legged family will miss you too, once again reunited with your best friend Roxie, God bless my beautiful girl....

  K9 Djarko had necrosis of the stomach which
developed over a long period time. Not sure what caused it and I don’t have a more official answer.  

He was a member of our department and with officer Jabens for almost 7 years.  Officer Jabens and Djarko were involved in some of the largest narcotics seizures in Cedar Rapids’ history.
