In loving memory of our dog Betty!


Betty has been part of our family for the past 7 years. She has loved Oregon because she had 5 acres to run on and felt free. She was the best dog. She was great with the kids and even loved the cats. She was our protector since she would always bark at any cars that went too fast down our road (our neighbors always had Betty running after them barking-probably because they went to fast). She could do all sorts of tricks and loved to hang out with us when we were working in the yard. She made friends with our neighbor dogs and they hung out together roaming the acreage shared. I went out to visit with Betty after work yesterday Tues. 23rd and Betty was in her dog house and she was already dead. I saw that she was injured and I think she got hit by a car and made it to her dog house. We buried her at the back of the property. I had to explain to Holly that she had died. It was a difficult day for us to say good-bye to our sweet dog. We'll miss you Betty girl!!!!

Awww, Betty. So sad. Sorry to hear about your loss. How are the kids (and you) handling it?

That is so sad! It must have been hard being the one to find her dead.
