VonHoledigger Founding Fathers

Before this blog goes on any further we would like to pay respects to the Vonholedigger's founding fathers.

 Sir Thomas Thornton Von Holedigger
AKA "Tommy"
1999-2010
 

Our hearts are heavy today with the passing of our beautiful boy! Tommy was
one of a kind! He was loyal, sophisticated, funny, beautiful,charming,
and very regal! He was people focused not caring much about other dogs.
Except for his own siblings after he permanently marked their face
with a friendly bite, at least he thought it was friendly? He was
demanding but yet patient, He would go to the pub, the Village Idiot and
have his own stool. He was so loving to us that his unconditional love
will carry on, always! He traveled to 29 states, swam in the Gulf of
Mexico,Atlantic, Pacific, and The Great Lakes! Swimming was his favorite
because being blind he could run uninhibited on the beach. He was our
first born. We were going to name him Tommy and when we went to get him.
His name was Tommy! We were all meant to be. He has given to us more
then we could of ever given to him. He is the original Von Holedigger
and his legacy will be carried on, forever! We miss you and love you
Tommy. We know tonight your are running with Birki and being walked by
your grandparents!

We lost a great dog today...

He was not only a son to us but a great companion!

Birki 2000-2009
There was never a food dish that he did not guard,
a heart he did not steal, a walk or car ride he would not be excited to take,
patience that was so calm
and a personality that won him over by many.

He traveled 29 states with his fellow fab four.  Swam in the Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes.  He lived a great dog  life and we will miss him so much.

We love you Birki!

The following picture is of Bopeep.  He is the VonHoledigger's cousin.  His recent passing has been very hard on his mom.  We all feel such compassion for her.  When a pet passes on the owners grieve terribly.  Their hearts ache but know one really understand because a dog is really only loyal to their family. The bond is really not there for anyone else.  However, tonight his mom's heart is aching and we want her to know we love her.

 In loving memory of Beau (Bopeep) Rust born August 6 1999 died April 30 2012 of cancer. Bopeep devoted his life to loving his family and fighting crime. He idolized "Mac-gruff the crime dog" and actively patrolled his neighborhood till just a few months before his death. He was a hero, a best friend and a loving, protective dog son to his Mommy. Bopeep was laid to rest in his backyard in Lehigh Acres, Florida and a rose garden will be planted at his grave site. My life will never be the same without you my little peeper, I love you so much, love you so very much.
