Awwww, she was a cutie pie..It's so sad when our "babies" are taken from us. I'm so sorry for you all. #7216744

Chris Ebben February 26, 2009

Thank you both very much. Gracie was an abandoned dog when Stacey & Shane took her in. I could never get over how much notice she took of them straight away. I think she was grateful of the home & attention. #7218516

Oh I really don't know what to say Chris!

My Bo is 15 and he recently survived two operations three days apart....I honestly thought he wouldn't pull through at that age so I consider myself very lucky!

I am ever so sorry, so very sorry!

Thank you all so much for your kind words. We finally found out what happened to Gracie, she was poisoned by a highly toxic mushroom, Amanita phalloides. Stacey & Shane are so sad about the whole thing. When you have time, can you look in my gallery? #7259595

WOW, SO SORRY to hear about Gracie Chris, tell Stacie she is in my thoughts and parayers.

Beautiful dog!!! #7268443

Chris Ebben March 10, 2009

Thanks a lot. It was so sad. Gracie was so well behaved, I think she was so thankful to have some one to live with & look after her. She would sit next to Stacey & Shane & pat them on the arm or leg & move real close. Thanks again everyone for your thoughtful comments. #7268496

It's always a sad loss when one of the family members leaves us Chris, and our pets sure become family members. Gracie had such beautiful eyes. I hope your daughter can replace her.
