Passing of two beloveds

In the short span of just the past 3 months, the crew at AFS(animal friends show) have witnessed the deaths of two of our beloved ex-show dogs namely Connie and Brandy. The following are their pictures and a short tribute to each of them..

Connie



Despite the fact that I have not been at AFS for a long period of time as compared to some of the others, I have nonetheless developed a bond with the animals over there. As I joined AFS rather late, both dogs were already taken off show due to their age but as you can see from the pictures, they still look so handsome/beautiful and have not lost any of their former glory at all. To me, Connie has always been that darling angel, watching over all of us. It's not any tom dick or harry that can get close to her and earn her trust but instead, she would be the one who would pick to allow to come near her. Thankfully for me, from the very day we met, we got acquainted immediately. I will always recall how she would tilt her head and trot on her hnd legs when she knew that it was feeding time. The sweet little girl whom i would address affectionately as Connie Girl. She would always respond to commands given to her and over time, all of us have come to the conclusion that she is the one dog who would protect those she loved with her life. Connie, thanks for all the joy you have brought us and for being the sweetest and most loving girl we have ever known.

Brandy


Although I am not as close to Brandy as i would have been to Connie, I can still recall the times when Brandy was still part of the animal friend's show, as our contact dog. Towards the end of the show, we would introduce Brandy as the pioneer of the show and allow kids to meet and greet him. This is when he would enter the show area from backstage by coming down a ramp. Despite his weak hind legs, he would always enter the show yard with grace and even when his legs did give way, he would make it a point to ensure that he lands gracefully so that the audience would assume that he merely wanted a rest. Despite his old age, Brandy never failed to capture the hearts of both the young and old, especially with his innocent,handsome look which you can clearly see in the picture. Although he is now no longer with us, that positive looking face of his complete with a smile will always be etched in our hearts and minds forever. Go in peace Brandy and know that the family that cared for you all these while will always remember you.
