Marquise Fauve de la Chaume du Bois Dieu: Born 23October1996 - breeder Corinne DeBrouwer

Losing our 3 girls in less than a 9 month period was quite devastating. All 3 girls died of complications from 3 different cancers. Our Ellie's death was sudden (less than 24 hours from the time we noticed a problem.) A tumor had surrounded one of her kidneys and it burst, causing internal bleeding. Losing a loved one is hard, and losing 3 in such a short period of time is something we do not wish on anyone.

Everyday we relive certain memories of our 3 girls. Everyday when I return from work, Ellie used to gently place her feet on my chest and slowly give me a kiss on the cheek. Every night when I sit in my living room chair to watch some tv, Jenna would jump in my lap to play our crashing game where she would crash her head into my chest. Jenna never would give kisses, but she showed  us her love in many other ways. Every night when it was time for bed, Marquise would sit right next to my bed and bark. She would bark until I scratched her behind the ears and on her back. If I would stop scratching before SHE thought I shouldn't, she would again bark for more.

Memories are a good thing. They will never let you forget the love that was there, or with whom it was shared
