Pictured here is our beloved Dallas, when she was 16 years old.  Dallas, was our very first schnauzer
that as a teenager, I got for my Mom so she would have a sweet little companion after a long recovery
from major back surgery.   As I got older, moved away from home and had a family of my own, Dallas
was always my Dilly-Dallas girl and she will forever be my Momma's baby!  Thank you Dallas for
always being there for Momma when I couldn't be.   We love & miss you bunches!
Below are Healing Memorials I've added for families who have lost their beloved pet.  Feel free to email me if you would like to have your pet's Memorial added.
WEEP NOT FOR ME

Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest.
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed, for all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not, the fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts, in your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath.
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon  my death, but celebrate my life.

I Wonder If Christ Had a Dog

I wonder if Christ had a dog.
All curly and wooly like mine -
With two silken ears
And a nose round and wet -
With two eyes that glisten and shine?
I'm sure if He had - the dog
Knew right from the start He was God.
And needed no proof that He was divine,
But just worshipped the ground that He trod.
I'm afraid that He hadn't because I have read,
How He prayed in the Garden, alone;
For all His friends and disciples had fled,
Even Peter, the one called a "stone".
And oh, I'm sure that friendly dog,
With a heart so tender and warm,
Would never have left Him to suffer alone;
But creeping right under His arm -
Would have licked those dear fingers in agony clasped.
And counting all favors but lost,
When they led Him away, would have trotted along.
And died at the foot of the cross.

It was very important to me that I create this page.  I wanted to honor my Granddaddy Bartgis
for being such a wonderful role model and loving grandfather.  My Granddad passed away in
February of 2002, but many years before, he started his own business breeding & raising
Champion Bloodline Shetland Ponies.  My Granddad's first Champion stud pony was named
Lil' Masterpiece, hence the name Masterpiece Schnauzers.  I wanted to carry my Granddad's
high standards and excellence in breeding into my own business breeding
Champion Bloodline Miniature Schnauzers.

If It Should Be

If it should be that I grow weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
For this last battle cannot be won.
You will be sad, I understand;
Don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest,
Your love for me must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years -
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so;
The time has come, so let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend
And please stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.

Please do not grieve - it must be you
Who had this painful thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years -
Don't let your heart hold back its tears.

Beyond The Rainbow
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful - lush and green and wide
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright glow pierced the night
"Twas the glow of many candles, shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in it's brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be
We are still connected by a cord no one can see
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart

Heaven’s Doggy Door
My best friend closed his eyes last night
As his head was in my hand.
The doctors said he was in pain
And it was hard for him to stand.
The thoughts that scurried through my head,
As I cradled him in my arms
Were of his younger puppy years
And, OH, his many charms.
Today there was no gentle nudge
With an intense, “I love you, gaze.”
Only a heart that’s filled with tears
Remembering our joy-filled days.
But an angel just appeared to me
And he said, “You should cry no more.”
God also loves our canine friends,
He’s installed a “doggy door.”
We will miss you, our little angel girl.
Your life taught us the meaning of God’s
Love, for that is what you were so full of!
We will celebrate the many happy days
of fun and play that you shared with us.
Give Jesus a kiss for us!
We love you, Schatzi!
