~VEGAS~
In Memory
 

Vegas was the best of friends anyone could have. He had a true heart of gold that blessed many with his love during his life. Vegas loved everyone and everyone loved Vegas. He is missed dearly. He had been known as the ball dog in three cities of two states. He was a wonderful Golden Retriever adopted from the Humane Society of Columbus, Ohio. He visited the dog park from August 2001 until his death from cancer in April 2009. To know Vegas was to know the true meaning of love. He adored his late sister Panda, his brother Cosmo, all the dogs and people in Ohio and Idaho, and his dad who was his life partner. Vegas visited the dog park (daily, 2-3 times a day when younger) longer than any other dog in Moscow. The dog park was his home away from home. Vegas visited the dog park over 3000+ times during his life and cherished every visit doing his infamous moon walk and pulling grass around his ball. He rode the short bus with his OCD and was proud of it every minute of life. He is missed dearly and remembered forever. 

 


 

 

~PANDA~

In Memory

 

Panda was an adorable lab/chow mix found on the streets of Columbus, Ohio. When adopted she had signs of abuse and neglect. As Panda become older, she became very protective of her dad and brother Vegas so she didn’t get along with most dogs and people and few knew her in Idaho. She was the angel/devil dog, showing deep love to those she accepted into her family, while keeping all others away. She would sneak into the dog park when no people or dogs were around and loved to chase the buses driving up to the school bus yard. When they opened or closed the gates it was like the changing of the guards for her. She was a tough street dog who dreamed of riding on the back of a big Harley motorcycle. She truly adored her dad, brother Vegas, and Becky at Windy Ridge Kennels, one of the few people in Idaho besides her immediate family who saw her loving angel side.
