Janice lost her beloved Indy on May 31st. She died suddenly from pancreatitis. She was Janice's first Golden & the dog who brought John into her life. She was formally known as: Cdn. OTCH, Am. OTCH Shoreland's Indy Two Hundred Cdn. & Am. TD, MH, WCX, CGC, TT, OBHF.

Janice described her in a heartfelt tribute as "my heart, soul, best friend, shadow, always by my side.

Janice-my heart goes out to you as the titles Indy earned for you came from mutual love & respect & you're allowing her to shine. Soulmates come once & leave a place in your heart no other dog can lay claim to.

Godspeed Indy.

Janice,

I am so sorry to hear about Indy. I remember when Indy's litter was born, sometimes it seems like yesterday. I spoke at length with Sue about it and was so tossed between that litter and Yvonne's Bomber-Frisbee breeding ( where I got Sneakers). I had seen Flash at the Western Regional and was mesmerized by him but SO loved Bomber.

What a special girl Indy was and I know you will always treasure the memories and the direction your life has taken as a result of her. Fourteen years is never enough despite trying to cherish every moment. Sneakers will be 14 this month and I regularly shed tears when thinking about the future. What a Journey it has been with these girls.

You & John will be in my thoughts

I still remember Indy when she would come down our way to run a hunt test. In fact, when I started my search for a new Golden in '01, the first person I contacted to ask where I should look was Janice. I contacted her and asked, "Where can I find a dog like Indy?"

Indy was a fabulous dog that left quite an impression on me.

How lucky you both were to have each other. May the good memories help you through your grief.

Dear John and Janice,
After I met Indy at the Gettysburg specialty I have no trouble seeing why she was your heart dog. What a face - an absolute sweetheart. I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.
Take Care,
Becky

Janice, I have never had the blessing to meet you and your Indy, but my heart goes out to you all the same. I have my own 2 year old Indy, a male, but I know already he is the dog of my life and hope that you heal quickly from the loss of your own.

 

[Janice Gunn]

Thank you all .....each and every post has made me cry.
Right now they are tears of sadness, but the comfort that each post brings
I will recall later with a smile .

Indy was an extremely vibrant 14 year old. The day before she died, she was running, playing and swimming in the warm pond. The next day she was gone....I still find that hard to believe and accept.
We hugged her every single day and let her run the household however she pleased.

I can visualize her very clearly, and I pray that never fades.

I could of missed the pain, but I would of had to have missed the dance.

I know it's no consolation, but at least she didn't linger and suffer. That last spurt of "running, playing, and swimming" was to solidify all the positive memories!

Rainbow Bridge regards,

kg

Janice,

My heart goes out to you. Our "heart" dogs are so hard to lose. However, I believe that they are ALWAYS a part of us!!

I hope that your collage of you and Indy will bring smiles to your face in the future!
