V.D. Nacht’s Admiral Ramsay Operation Dynamo.
2016 - 2025
💙RAMSAY💙

Ramsay left us yesterday and our hearts are broken and we are still in shock. Many of you sent love, prayers and hope which meant so much to me on a very difficult day.
He was the most remarkable dog who helped me through my mother’s passing, which was the most difficult time in my life.
Ramsay was a very large German Shorthair at 96lbs and 28 inches tall who commanded attention where ever he went. At first meeting people expected him to be overwhelming with his power but he was so gentle, loving and my protector always. He had an intuition about people and gave comfort to the sad, gentle affection to children and a strong do not approach my mom when I was trail running with him. Together we ran a weekly average of 25 miles, in all weather and many locations and he knew his job. Protect always and he did. Once saving me from being grabbed off a trail in the early morning hours.
Ramsay was also a first rate lesson dog,demonstrating obedience exercises over and over, to help students actually see what I was asking for. He had to step in as a lesson dog earlier than any of my other dogs because of the unexpected passing of Baron. So at a very young age he came to every group class and private lesson with me and showed just what an amazing dog he was. There really are not enough words or stories I can tell to explain what this dog meant to me.
This life we had together was special and I was privileged to be his person💙

Rupert and Simon were in the ribbons last weekend in Woodland!
These boys are so much fun to train for a dog sport they love - scent detection.
There are so many dog sports dogs enjoy and most importantly they love to do things with their human. Obedience, rally, agility, dock diving, barn hunt, lure coursing, tracking or scent work, there is something for every dog🤗

Rupert become suddenly very ill in 2022 and I rushed him to Sage ER. With Trupanion a huge weight was lifted because no medical decision had to be made based on cost. Your staff provided pre approval and kept me updated with compassion and kindness.

I'm a fan of Trupanion and thought you might be interested! They offer the most comprehensive medical insurance for cats and dogs, and I have a policy for my own peace of mind. With Trupanion by my side, my pet gets the best care when they need it most.

This is fun video😄 I ran a quick errand and the girls were out with Marvin while he did some chores. Lucy found this ball and was so stinking cute playing by herself!! Also nice to see them both immediately come to him when he called them at the end of the video👏👏
