Bought my first Black male from Shirley and Sonny in 1991. I had no idea about a Good LAB or a good Lab kennel. Only took a short time to find out! Duke lived 14 years. We had a Yellow girl ten years who just passed, and looking for an adult female two or three years old. Difficult search as we are picky! Must look and personality of a Muskelunge English! Duke was son of Muskelunge Black Magic, just a wonderful dog and great Duck Dog! Any ideas where to find an adult, please email me.
I was saddened to learn of Shirley's death a month ago....will never forget the rainy day she spent hours with my daughter and I picking out our beloved Duke....a magnificent lady!
Thank you, Patsy Swaino
Copley, Oh.
It warms my heart to have found this post, and to see all the kind words about my Grandma. I miss her all the time. It's hard not to, as I live in her old home. Many of you may remember me, I was the little guy they took with them everywhere during the summer.
I wanted to add to this thread that Grandpa, aka Sonny, passed away on September 11th of this year (2014). He lost the battle to cancer, however I pray he's in heaven with Grandma now.
Thank you all for the kind works, it means the world to me.
Oh, Jerry I am so sad to hear of Shirley's passing. I remember meeting her many years ago. She was very gracious. My condolences to her family and to her friends, and to you and Joan, who knew her well.
I am deeply sorry to hear this news. Another of our own greeted by the labs of Rainbow Bridge, I'm
sure Bucky was at the front welcoming her. RIP Shirley. Just read Sonny has also passed so sending nt thoughts and prayers to the family.Pl
I sure do remember you running around at all the Specialties with your Grandma and Grandpa! They were both wonderful people and I am happy to hear that you found this thread.
warmest regards,
Jill
ps: gosh...that was a long time ago...betcha you're not that little skinny kid any longer. ;-)
