Today we are sad to announce the passing of our cherished family member, loyal companion and protector, Seuss. Seuss has been my shadow, teammate, and loving friend for almost 13 years. He passed away peacefully in his sleep last weekend.
I remember picking him out at just 2 weeks old, he was the first of the litter to sit up and take notice. By 6 weeks I knew he was the one for me.
Seuss was a breed champion, obedience champion, and was working on his agility and rally championships. He competed in sheep herding and duck herding as well. He achieved High In Trials in everything he did. He was the first dog I have ever trained that led us to the coveted OTCH title. In addition to his work ethic, Seuss was always willing to play any game I wanted to play.
But more importantly, Seuss was a beloved family member. He was gentle, loving, affectionate and always willing to please. He was always at my side, ready to do anything I asked, and always there to protect me. He was also my service dog, and acted as my ears and eyes.
Seuss was so dearly loved, and we will miss him.
If there is one consolation, I know now that there is a new angel above that will be looking down upon me and protecting me for the rest of time.
