In Memorium

Founding Member and Secretary of The White Doberman Club
My Dear Friend, Your dedicated work for the protection and welfare of our White Doberman Pinschers, will continue on. Your compassion, strength, and wonderful sense of humor, will be greatly missed.

My friend, though time has passed without us speaking, you were always in my heart. I will always remember you fondly, without regrets, for all the fun times we shared. The trip from NY to ALA for the Franckenhorst bloodlines that you said looked more like "frankenstunk" We bought these 2 Sick little girls, In Alabama from a breeder that should have been shot. (You know who you are!!) They were raised in a dark garage loaded with ringworm from wet hay, coccidia, and kennel cough.. (GABOLDERS!!)
In Memory of Ann Skidmore, my dear friend of 8 years. Who passed suddenly at only 45 years old. Her love for the breed was reflected in her most magnificent dog named Two (toobies) A big fawn mush. (With the famous Whirlwind head to die for)Her show career was short, but they certianly blazed a path since there were very few Fawns being shown at that time. Rest peacefully, Ann. Your kind heart, and love of the breed, makes me feel at ease, that my beloved Tasha is not alone. I miss you, and never got to say how much you mean to me, or how much fun we had at the dogs shows... Me taking your Macman in the conformation ring, and getting a first place ribbon!! Lined his back end up in the hole, he wasnt high in the rear anymore.. LMAO Too fun!!
THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
JUST this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
ALL the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
THEN you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
