Our Deepest Sympathy to Steve & Robin.
Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to Steve and Robin
who just had to say their earthly goodbye to their sweet Gabe.
He was born into our "Timeless Litter."
who just had to say their earthly goodbye to their sweet Gabe.
He was born into our "Timeless Litter."
Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to Steve and Robin who just had to say their earthly goodbye to their sweet Gabe. He was born into our "Timeless Litter."
It wasn't always an easy road after they opened their hearts to Gabe as he left a home where he wasn't loved or protected. Abuse comes in many forms and these precious creatures internalize every part of their living circumstances. Gabe was a sensitive soul who didn't deserve to be pushed to the sidelines.
We are deeply grateful that there are people in this world like Robin and Steve who selflessly dedicate themselves to regaining trust and giving a wonderful life to dogs like Gabe. He could be obstinate or he could be a clown. He loved his Izzy. He was her "big brother" and where you saw Izzy you usually saw Gabe. They were all a family.
It's always unbelievably painful. This goodbye is unlike any other. And though he was born here and has never left my heart, I know that my loss cannot and never will compare to the heartache and loss for Steve, Robin and Izzy. Thank you from the depths of our hearts for the beautiful life, family and love that you gave to Gabe. We were blessed to have met you and so was Gabe.
So please know that you gave the ultimate "gift" and surely one day you'll find him running to meet you again.
Rest easy, sweet boy and may your angel caregivers have plenty of balls and an abundance of treats.

With great sadness we share Heiden's passing.
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of “Heiden”
CH. Shomberg’s Let The Games Begin
Heiden was from our Olympic Gold Litter. He was shown to his championship by Patty Crowley and garnered several awards at the 2007 GSPCA NSS in Kentucky as a youngster.
He was handsome and funny, an athlete in every sense of the word. But his best attribute was his devotion to Jim and Paula and his acceptance of everyone he considered a friend,
except for the UPS delivery guy.
except for the UPS delivery guy.
Our deepest condolences to Jim and Paula Dougherty and our sincere gratitude for the wonderful, loving home he was given for all these years; still never long enough.
The heartache is incredibly painful and right now there just aren’t words to lessen the grief.
Heiden, may you play ball with the angels and may you have ducks to chase and
clear blue ponds for swimming.
clear blue ponds for swimming.
Rest well sweet boy until mom and dad come to be with you again one day.
Owned and deeply loved by Jim & Paula Dougherty. Proudly bred by Shomberg.
