His
registered name was Janry's Red Stone of Norstar. He was born on February
14, 1995 and I got him on April 19, 1995, the day of the Oklahoma City
Bombing. I wanted to do Search And Rescue since then because I had gotten
him on that tragic day. I clearly remember what I was doing at about 9
am that morning. I was on the phone with his breeder as the breeder had
called to tell me that Stoney would be on a plane that day to Memphis.
We had to wait a little while at the airport while they unloaded him. But
the first look I had was of a very cute puppy with huge legs and feet.
We stayed in Memphis that first night as the weather in Mississippi was
very bad. We took pictures of him at the motel on the first night. He was
always very protective of us. We moved to Harrison, AR in early 1996. In
the summer of 1997, I took him to the Harrison, AR airport to watch President
Clinton land. There were about 2,500 people there and they all started
running towards us to see the president, he was not phased by it one bit.
He showed no aggression but he stood his ground. Clinton's secret service
detail inquired about puppies from him as they were quite obviously impressed
by this, as compared to their dog, whose picture was in the newspaper.
Sadly, he was never able to sire any puppies as I would never breed him.
I officially gave him to my mother as a buddy in October 1997. I was always
only his handler, she was always his real owner from that first night in
Memphis.
"We
did not realize just what a big hole
in
our lives and hearts, his passing would leave."

My
Partner, My Friend
Twelve
years ago last August
You
flew into my life and heart.
I
first saw you at the airport
On
a hot Memphis day.
You
have the blood of
The
very best behind you.
You
chose me for your partner
The
moment we first met.
Now
twelve years later
Your
muzzle has gone gray.
I
realize we are almost
At
the end of our long journey together.
But
I know that when you leave my side
You
will be waiting for me on the other side.
There
will never be another like you
Robin,
my partner, my friend.
