GRADY: TLC’s Friendship’s Legacy “Grady” / Todd and Danielle Bush, NY: "Grady is the best dog a family could ask for. He's sweet, gentle and so lovable. He spends his time playing with his toys, playing in the backyard or teasing our cat Jake. Grady loves it when we have company and will proudly go up and down the stairs to bring a visitor each and every one of his toys! He spent some time taking agility courses for fun and really enjoyed that too. In June 2006, we had a baby so Grady has had to adjust to a new person being in the house. He's done pretty well but has had his moments of jealousy. A few of Ebin's baby toys were destroyed but now that Ebin is getting older, Grady seems to understand he will be more fun. I'm sure when Ebin is walking, the two will be best of friends." |

EMMA: TLC Rachel’s Baby “Emma” / JohnWagner, ME/NY: "Although Emma was only with us for 4 weeks she made a lasting impression. At the age of 12 weeks she died of complications from a congenital heart defect. During the three weeks before we knew she was so sick she learned to obey a few commands – sit, down, stay and come. We had fun taking her to the ocean, although she ran back whenever a wave came near her. She especially enjoyed running around with seaweed hanging from her mouth. During a week of blood draws, ultrasounds and electrocardiograms her tail never stopped wagging and everyone commented on how good she was. We still miss her and wonder what she would be like today." Sleep well, and play at the Rainbow Bridge, sweet Baby Emma. |
