Celebrating our Berner Veterans
In Loving Memory of Maddie Million Dollar Baby May 11th 2004 to December 27th 2015 Proudly owned and so much loved by Signe Strawser 
Our hearts are broken as we lost our dear Maddie yesterday due to hemangiosarcoma. Maddie lived a long life at 11 1/2 years old, and i was so hoping she would be able to join in the Veteran's parade at the upcoming Specialty in Frankenmuth. That was not to be. Maddie joined our family originally as a foster dog when she was a 10 week old puppy. She was straight from a puppy mill auction in Ohio. Well, I am a failed foster - once she hit our front door she wasn't going any place. Not knowing her heritage, I was always afraid that we would lose her at a young age due to something in her unknown lineage; however, I am thankful that she had a fun-filled long-lived life. Maddie's favorite thing to do was carting. I'll never forget the first time I hooked her up to a cart - she pulled instantly like she was bred to do just that (which, of course, she was). She loved getting all dressed up with her favorite cart and entertaining people in parades. She thought she was the Princess that she actually was. In her older years, she was the grand dame of the house - making sure the others knew she was the top dog. She loved her daddy, Gregg, and guarded the room so no one could get closer to him that she was. He of course, loved her too. We will miss her in the times to come, but know she is reunited at the Bridge with Benson that we lost in April, and her other wonderful brother, Bentley. Be free, sweet girl, until we meet again.
