Hamilton
Hamilton, my best friend.
Courageous, Bold, Loving and Loyal.
This picture was taken as we headed out to the beach in Florida in the winter.
We would go out at low tide and as I reached for shells in the bay, Hamilton,
Ducked under the water and brought out a crushed beer can!
He ran fast as he could to me with that “Gem” he captured in his mouth.
He was so so proud!Of course I put it in my netting bag and praised him …his tail was wagging high!

Simon
Here is Simon's angelic face.
My Simon was my Christmas present in 1988. My husband brought him home from the pound and put him in a big box to wait for me.
When I got home, he was sitting in that box crying. I said his name and he stopped crying and looked up, like he knew he was safe now that I was there.
He became my heartbeat in that minute. He went everywhere with me and was happy to wait in the car, no matter where, just as long as he got to go along.
I have other dogs, and I love them dearly, but My Simon is still my heartbeat.
He took most of my heart with him, and he still lives in the part he left behind.

Diamond
Her racing name was Freeride Shy Gal and she truly lived up to that with strangers but once she knew you it was a different story.
We really should have named her Rainbow. The first day we saw her at the track she adopted me but I didn't take her because we already had 5 dogs. On the 300 mile trip home God gave us a double rainbow in the sky for almost 45 minutes.
Run free and happy, big girl.

Lady
The first time I saw Lady was at the SPCA. She was standing in front of her kennel, tail slowly wagging, just looking at everyone. The poor soul was labeled the “Pet of the Month”. For just $10, I took home one of the gentlest souls I have ever known.
Lady quickly warmed up to living with me. She claimed a chair in my living room as her own and it became her perch. Sometimes she watched what went on around her, but most of the time she just slept. It became apparent that lady was much older than I’d been told she was.
Still, the old girl had some life in her. I put her on senior food and gave her a supplement for her old joints and she seemed happier. She loved sniffing around in the back yard and warming herself in the sun. Some of my happiest moments were watching Lady run – she always seemed to say, “Look how happy I am, Mom! I’m running even though it hurts a little!”
I lost my Lady this past summer. My only regret is that I didn’t have enough time with her. I hope my old Lady is across the Rainbow Bridge, running, sniffing, and slowly wagging her tail. And I hope she found a chair to rest on.
These 'In Memory' pages not only provide a way to honor those beloved family members who are no longer with us on this earth but also a way to provide hope to animals stuck in the shelter environment. Your donation of $50.00 to S.T.I.C.K.S. Org. will provide the needed funding to ensure the veterinary care, food, shelter, and transportation expenses of the animals while in our care.
We don't receive even a portion of the adoption fees these animals bring in to their respective rescues, our only source of funding is through donations, fundraisers, and grants. 100% of your donation through the 'In Memory' program goes to these expenses. The memorials will remain on S.T.I.C.K.S. Org. website as long as there is a website, no annual donation is required (but we certainly won't turn it down).
If you would like to add an entry just contact us and we'll work out the details.
