Gefleckte Schokoladen Trueffel (a.k.a. ‘Truffle’, Trufflewufflelufugus, or Truffie) Stutz
17 January 2002 - 10 February 2020
Truffle turned 18 years old last month!!
On a quick trip to Clinton, MD there was a very tiny and cute Chocolate and Tan spotted Short-haired Dachshund Puppy with green eyes that stole and captured my heart. He came home with us that very day, 3 April 2002. His canine parents were Sire – Fantasy’s Digger Von Weenie and Dam – Karla’s Wenchie Pookins.
Ginger was about 8 years old when she came to us. We had taken our other Dogs to the groomer and the groomer had this cute little girl needing a forever home; it was an immediate bond and she came home with us. We had Ginger about 8 years; it is believed she was a little less than a year old when she came into our home. Not sure of her birthdate, however she died Saturday January 18, 2020 at her home with her loving family around and she on her dog bed in front of the fireplace, where she often found comfort.
Sebastian Charles popped his head over the parking garage wall June 2004 and joined our family 6 months later. His sweet demeanor betrayed his size; Sebastian was a gentle giant. Always up for a chin rub, he would tap you on the shoulder when he wanted attention. Sebastian, however, was not a lap cat. He sat near you, next to you, or on the chair back, but never on you, unless of course you were asleep in bed.
aka “Puddie” - the life of a special little 4 legged girl (dog)
Puddin, a black corgi and beagle mix, was born between Sept 14th and 16th, 2005 in Stuart, VA. Since the family did not know her exact birthday, Puddin was celebrated all 3 days, the 14th, 15th & 16th, every year!
I fell in love with the Australian Cattle Dog breed and saw an ad in the paper. I called and Piper was the only girl left. She was a birthday present to myself. Piper loved going for a ride and to be with Keith and me. She enjoyed playing with her stuffed yellow duck named, Woobie and a mammoth named, Mannie. Piper did have a special trick she would perform; she could “woo-woo” and wave.
Born in May of 2015, Mystique was adopted at 8 weeks old by her mom, Crystal. She loved to chew on her bone and any toys she was given. Mystique enjoyed giving everyone hugs and kisses. A precious memory for her family is how she would greet people at the top of the stairs with her paw out for a handshake. Also, running down the hall and back with someone hunched over and she would jump over them only to do it all over again.
Daisy was adopted by Ms. Williams from the Briggs Animal Shelter, when she was just 4 ½ months old. She enjoyed looking out windows and watch people, birds and squirrels. Daisy loved to play with her stuffed “My Buddy” toy.
