While Susan was shopping one day, she saw a make shift pet shop and went in.  Willie was in a baby play pen; their eyes met and it was love at first sight!  Susan’s favorite memory is from that day, “the first time I picked him up, he started talking to me and oh, the kisses he gave!  From then on he was a verbal boy when he wanted something and his kisses were my reward.”

The Walsh’s’ son brought Snooper for a visit in 2002; he enjoyed the water and being able to run on his visit that he decided to stay.  Snooper loved the outdoors, especially chasing the squirrels. In his early years, Snooper liked to sit and sun bathe.  He enjoyed playing with his stuffed squirrel squeaker toy named, Baby.  And at 96 pounds, Snooper thought he was a “lap” dog.  He loved to climb into the laps of his family and take a nap, until in Snooper’s senior years, when his hip issues kept him from doing so.

Sprinkle was found as an abandoned puppy in Front Royal and was given a home with the Swain family.  He loved to run, chase birds, and go on walks.  Unlike most puppies, Sprinkle did not like toys; he enjoyed his family, instead.

Sprinkle is survived by his parents, Josh and Samantha; siblings, Catie and Jake; and his “Grammy”.

Every day the Swains came home, Sprinkle was always happy to see them; his greeting will be remembered and cherished in their hearts forever.
