Sarah Bear Graves-DuBrueler

May 20, 2015 – June 15, 2016

One summer day as Steve and Robyn were at a Demolition Derby, at the Frederick County Fair, there was a litter of 6 week old Shelties that needed homes. Robyn took one look at Sarah and picked her up; she never let her go. Steve had forbidden Robyn to get a dog and adamantly was against getting Sarah. However, while he was racing in the Derby, Robyn got Sarah and when he finished the race Robyn showed Sarah to Steve. He put her in his shirt and from that point forward Sarah was a Daddy’s girl.

7 June 2000 - 27 April 2016

Shannon’s health had been failing the last few months and we put her to sleep on Wednesday, 27 April. She would’ve been 16 in June. She’d defied all odds by living 3 ½ yrs. after being diagnosed with Bladder cancer. I wasn’t surprised as she was a tough little Whippet.

Baby Campbell

Baby was born October 12, 2000 in White Post, Virginia. As a 6 week old stray barn kitten, Baby was brought into Carol Campbell’s office at the White Post Correctional Center; and in Carol’s heart forever.

Baby always waited at the door for Carol when she returned home. She liked to get her up early in the mornings to fix her breakfast and Baby always needed to taste-test Carol’s food.

He was born in the mid-west, and we adopted him from a former neighbor.

He gave us 5 years of happiness, and we gave him the best he could have.

He loved riding in the car, and his favorite place to go was Blandy Farm State Arboretum near his home. He is deeply missed and he will never be forgotten. We shall meet again dear friend. Love you so very much!
