His sickness came on quickly, seems like it may have been a pancreatic insuloma.

when i feel strong enough i will write a little tribute to his life. He was a rescue dog who had lived on the streets prior to coming to our family. He was a joyful spark in our lives and we deeply mourn his passing.

I painted a picture of Pika before i knew him and before i even planned to help rescue a dog. He will always be in my soul.
Pikaboo my love

RIP little one june 6, 2010

The bandana is a tribute to Hyacinth, a Havanese who made the ultimate sacrifice for the betterment of the breed. Hyacinth came to an untimely end while staying under the responsibility of a professional handler. Unfortunately, the professional handler has only spoken once to Hyacinth’s mom regarding the incident, so the last moments of Hyacinth’s life remain a mystery.

To make the bandana, I was able to track down a lovely fabric with colorful Hyacinth flowers. The flower side is kept close to the heart, as Hyacinth the Havanese will always remain near and dear to our hearts.

I think it is fitting the bandana also hides the hyacinth flowers from view, again symbolic of the lack of communication and closure with regard to Hyacinth’s tragic end.

I do wish people could understand the sacrifice show dogs make for the breed, traveling away from their family, sleeping and sitting in unfamiliar cages, and the long grooming sessions.

I do wish people would realize that all dogs are special, and not just a means to an end — be it fame, fortune or bragging points.

Let’s show our appreciation for their sacrifices, please join in the bidding.

Bidding starts March 7th. Join in the support!

This was initially a game Pika Boo played…I need to make another bag for Pika so he can play again. Jake rarely gets the squeaky ball from the bag…but that doesn’t stop him from trying.
