To Vader: You were such a sweet dog and you loved me like no other soul. I found you by an add in the paper in '94 and you never left my side. You were so loving to all humans and very tolerant to all other creatures(even 2 old cats). You started my love affair with this breed. Not a day I don't think about you, every time I log on, you are there. We had almost 12 years with you. After you left, I gained 50 pounds and went into debt cause I couldn't stand to come home. I will always love you. Koloff and Cayenne (the "Twins")-we sought you both out long before you were a gleam in your daddies eye. We founder a breeder that had Vaders family history in your past. And we never wanted to be without a bullie so we got "back up". The first years was so hard with you too but we got through it. We loved how smart you were, Cayenne, and you were such a compass for your kinda dense brother Koloff. You left us too soon,less than 3, and left your brother without direction. Your mom and dad were too devastated to give him the direction he needed. Koloff, your love of your family was unbelievable. You and daddy were joined at the hip, so bonded, and you grieved when he left for a few hours. I know you loved me, but the connection to your daddy was so special. You left us last month at 8. Hard to see a grown man cry for days. We know you are here, your toys, bed are still out. We still say goodnight to you, we rush home to feed you at 5 pm sharp. We miss you and love you both forever. You are with your sister now and she can fill you in on heaven, as only she can do. To Brodie-you are still a bun in the oven,not to see the light of day till the end of this month. We looked high and low and found a breeder that had a pic on her website of what would pass for my "twins" looking out over a lake. This is a sign from your guardians above. We wish you the ability to love your family like Koloff, the smarts and good judgement like Cayenne, and the ability to get along with all creatures like Vader. You will be loved beyond all else, spoiled but given boundaries and guidance. We anxiously await your arrival to fill this hole. We love you already.........mommy and daddy
