Memorial Site For All Canine Angels

The Queen Gracie Memorial Site

Dedicated to ALL Canine Angels

It is no secret that our dogs bring so much joy into our lives, that when one passes over the Rainbow Bridge
to say our hearts are filled with sadness would be a vast understatement!

We've decided that we wanted to remember each and every one of our canine angels by featuring them with
a short story here on Queen Gracie's site. The decree has been made that whenever one of our dogs passes,
we will honor them here and will place a candle by them in remembrance of the love we shared.

		To our dear Frenchie "Boys": you were gone much too soon. Sir Smiler,you were our first addition into the world of the French Bulldog. Our hearts were broken when you were diagnosed with lymphoma. We decided to put you through the Cancer treatments that were deemed to be a success. Before you had become so ill, we had adopted your little brother, Stitch, who was being raised in a "Puppy Mill" situation in Maryland. Stitch, you were only with us for a few weeks when we noticed you had eyelashes growing out of your eyeball....we scheduled surgery for the next day. By that time, Smiler, we knew the treatments were making you much worse. The lump on your throat was growing. That is why we had to let you go.... when you crossed over the "Rainbow Bridge" we know that you were once more able to run around and be pain free. Stitch, you looked around for Smiler for weeks. In a few months, we decided to adopt another Frenchie....this time "She" was a black & White pie-eyed, we named her Miss Molly. You both became "best friends"...Unfortunately, our hearts were broken once again when back problems left you unable to walk. That is why we had to let you go.....Stitch, as you crossed over the "Rainbow Bridge", we are certain that Smiler were there to greet you. Your back, like new again, you ran away together. Our love for dogs will NEVER stop. Fortunately, before you passed, we had adopted a new sister for you and Molly. She is a "Boggle" (a boston terrier and beagle mix) and also a rescued puppy. The girls helped each other get through losing you. They have both become wonderful "Big Sisters" to "Buddy" the cat (a former resident of our local SPCA.) Will we ever be without a "furry friend/companion" in our home? We think not. We miss you and love you both, Bob(dad) and Sheri (Mom) Smith
