What a difference ten years can make...In February of 1998, Leslie went with her mom and sister to chose a dog for her sister.Already having a dog out of Sharon's Terv bitch, Leslie wasn't planning on coming home with a bundle of fluff that day. Miracles work in mysterious ways, as Gena tumbled out from under the breeders' porch, Leslie was smitten. From that day forward, Leslie and Gena have been inseparable. Though Leslie was heavily involved in horse competitions, the pair found time to dabble in obedience, agility, herding, and tracking, not to mention just lounging around. Gena has received many compliments on her square structure, elegant head, beautiful eyes, and overall disposition.

Empty Arms

by Sharon Webb

Our arms were empty that February day.

As we came and watched the puppies at play.

Our plan was just one for the daughter so small.

But plans have a way of fooling us all.

An extra pup attached to the side

of daughter Leslie, along for the ride.

Our arms were full of puppy breath and fur

And hopes that Dad would soon concur.

"Can we keep them?" became the phrase that day.

He shook his head yes…..what else could he say!

Gena and Leslie soon became one.

From home to show ring or just having fun.

Our arms were full of ribbons and love.

God had blessed us with gifts from above.

The years went by in the blink of an eye.

And then the day came when we sat down to cry.

Cancer they said had come to stay.

And we and our friends for Gena would pray.

Our arms were full of medicine and hope.

Gena's smile and spirit would help us to cope.

Our arms are empty this August day.

For over the Bridge does Gena now play.

Rest well sweet Princess…..
