In January of 1994, Wendy Fullerton (Windsong) sat all night with her beautiful girl Trinka as the first Trinka/Shep litter was born. There were 3 males and 3 females. By April, she only had one little boy left. A sweet gray sable plush who was her friend and traveling companion. Wendy came here to our farm to introduce this wonderful puppy to me and it was truly love at first sight. Needless to say, Lobo stayed. By the time he was a bit over 6 months, he was being shown by Wendy and winning his share of shows, admirers and friends. Carl then started to handle Lobo and we were off to shows every month. During his show career, Lobo won some and lost some, but was always one of the favorites at all shows. Everyone knew and loved Lobo and many times, I turned down very large sums of money from his admirers. I felt that having Lobo in our lives was a gift and priviledge. No money could be worth that.
As the years flew by too quickly, Lobo left his mark at every turn. People who knew him, loved him. Dogs who were aggressive with all other dogs had respect for him. And my life was complete with him in it. Lobo is the sire to many lovely Shilohs, some show and some companions. Lobo also had a lifetime of running free on his farm. He was strong, healthy and I believe, very happy with that life.
The one last thing to say is that not one person ever said anything bad about Lobo. And that is a true testement to the life of Lobo.
Thank you Wendy for my heart's greatest gift. I will love and remember Lobo forever. |
