Gone But Not Forgotten...
Aditi November, 2002 Aditi was a 10 year old Senior found wandering the streets of Houston. SND Member, Rhiannon, rescued her from the streets and took her to the vet because of a leg injury. It was discovered that Aditi had advanced osteosarcoma, and was given little time. Euthanasia was the only choice, but at least her last 2 days were filled with dignity and love.	Cheyanne November, 2002 Cheyanne was adopted by SND member, Sharon, from Arizona Doberman Rescue. She had been getting sicker and sicker. The vets had been testing her for everything trying to locate the problem but Cheyanne continued to waste away. They finally discovered that she had diabetes and severe pancreatitis. Before treatment could be rendered, Cheyanne passed away.	B.G. December, 2002 B.G. was an 8 year old blue Doberman, owned and loved by Scott Berman. She died of cancer of the liver and spleen on Christmas Eve, 2002, in the arms of Scott. Scott says that she was “his Guardian Angel,” getting him through many of life’s difficulties. He said that her favorite place was on his lap in their recliner. Although she could not be saved, happily, she was loved her whole life.	Buddy December, 2002 Buddy was a senior Doberman who was rescued by DAR&E. He had a graying muzzle, stiff joints and that “wisdom of the ages look in his eyes.” He was suffering from a severe gunshot wound to his neck. Buddy fought a valiant fight backed with the love of his foster mom, but it was not enough. He crossed the Bridge in December, 2002	Fancie February, 2002 Fancie was a 12-year old Dobe in foster care with DAR&E. She loved her human caretakers and enjoyed playing with her foster’s female Dobe and flirted with her male! She got along with children and had no bad habits. Sadly, she passed away in February, 2003, but she did not spend her last days alone and without love, thanks to the great people at DAR&E.

Miss Di February, 2002 Miss Di was diagnosed with lymphoma and began chemotherapy treatments in May, 2001. After the first treatment she was acting her totally normal and bossy self. Miss Di continued treatments for a year, but finally lost her battle with cancer. The extra year of life the treatments gave her were filled with love and caring as this is how she lived her entire life.	Pixie March, 2003 Pixie was the first senior adopted from the Senior Doberman Project,in December, 2002. Shortly after her adoption, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. SND helped to provide her the best medical care possible, but it was too late, and Pixie lost her battle in March, 2003. She lived happily and comfortably for the last three months of her life, and brought much joy to her mom and “siblings,” Champ and Prissy Cat. Please read her full story on page 4.	Kristi March, 2003 Kristi was a 9 year old Doberman, turned into a Chicago shelter because her family no longer wanted her. Her foster mom said that she was a sweet, easy girl who got along with all people and dogs. She passed away shortly after being dianosed with glaucoma. She did not find her forever home, but will be missed by the Ilinois Doberman Rescue, and by SDP.	Show Khan March, 2003 Show Khan was returned to the shelter from where he was adopted, when his owners discovered he needed hip replacement surgery. This handsome 11 year old guy had an adorable smile. He was very playful and liked other dogs and children. He was also very vocal - and would talk to you! Show Khan was also diagnosed with liver problems, and died in the care of Plano Animal Shelter before he found his forever home. We have received additional information regarding Show Khan. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to learn of his rescue and his last months.	Baby April, 2003 Baby was a 12 year old girl, with a docked tail and natural ears. Ten years ago, she was adopted from a shelter by her prior owners; they recently moved into housing where dogs were not permitted and sadly had to relinquish her. Baby was a very easy going and quiet girl, but she enjoyed playing tug-of-war with her leash and rope tuggie toy. She was cared for until the end of her days by Dobie-Heaven Doberman Rescue.
The Dobes lovingly remembered above were either assisted by SND or a part of the Senior Doberman Project.
Additional info about Show Khan: (Thanks, Dina, for giving us the full story, and for caring for Show Khan so wonderfully!) I wanted to let everyone there is a slight correction in the memorial section. The old man- SHOW KHAN- was rescued by me for Doberman Rescue of North TX and died in our care. Not that of Plano Shelter. I just wanted everyone to know that he was rescued and died peacefully in a home- not a kennel. Debbie New with Plano submitted the Senior Dobe write up for me but we rescued him. He really was a kind gentleman- even Granny didn't mind him too terribly much. He was put to sleep after several months in my care for debilitating CVI. It wasn't hips or liver. I have no idea why the owner said he had liver disease or hip problems...who knows. I can't believe they "got rid of him"- still makes me furious. Thank you so much for mentioning him in the newsletter. It was great seeing his silly smile again.
