Miniature Schnauzer Casper

"Casper" was a white miniature schnauzer-rescued from an amish puppy mill; he was approximately 6 1/2 years old when we found him at a rescue facility called: "my young & old fur babies" in woodsfield,ohio in 2005;

we were told no one was interested in him once they learned his age; well,we were! we took him home & began introducing him to love, attention, exercise (he didn't know how to go up stairs when we first got him) & good nutrition - as well as daily grooming - with regular professional grooming;

he was quietly & lovingly put to sleep in sept.2010 after his heart valves failed; he was tired & told us it was time to say goodbye;

he was the best dog i have ever had....the tears in my eyes make it hard to keep typing....i miss my good boy everyday; but, he is at peace now.. and ended up in a good home with two people who will always love him;

Casper Photo
by: Schnauzers Rule

Earl, I am so glad you found a photo of Casper to share with us. What a beautiful boy. I know you miss him terribly and my thoughts and prayers are with you and Carolyn everyday.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal but
Love leaves memories no one can steal.

May wonderful memories of Casper bring you peace and comfort.

Casper!

My heart goes out to you in your loss of a beloved friend and pet.

A Parting Prayer (by Brandy Duckworth 1998)

Dear Lord, please open your gates
and call St. Francis
to come escort this beloved companion
across the Rainbow Bridge.

Assign him to a place of honor,
for he has been a faithful servant
and has always done his best to please me.

Bless the hands that send him to you,
for they are doing so in love and compassion,
freeing him from pain and suffering.

Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the details of his life
with the love he has shown me.
And grant me the courage to honor him
by sharing those memories with others.

Let him remember me as well
and let him know that I will always love him.
And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise,
please allow him to accompany those
who will bring me home.

Thank you, Lord,
for the gift of his companionship
and for the time we've had together.

And thank you, Lord,
for granting me the strength
to give him to you now.

So sorry
by: Anna K

First of all, how wonderful of you to rescue him and he had such a wonderful life with you and was loved. I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my Gus a year ago to cancer at age 7 and it is so hard to bear that loss. They are not with us nearly long enough--mainly because they all ready know how to love and care so much more than humans. Thank God that he entrusted into your care one of his wonderful creatures and treasure the memories! Hugs,

Anna, Max and Penny

It sounds like your Casper was one lucky little schnauzer to have had his last years with you!
I know it hurts so much now but be comforted to know that it will get better as the days go by, I lost my Lucy a year ago in April and we thought we would never get through it, but we welcomed another schnauzer in our home named Miley and she has helped so much to fill the void of losing our Lucy.

posting pictures
by: earl & carolyn forman

firstly, i cannot express the wonderful feeling all of you have "put pen to paper" concerning my good boy "casper";
thank you all from the bottom of my heart;
he was so special to me that words to express simply fail me;

as for posting pictures i i've yet to learn how one actually does that-it's not for lack of pictures however, two of my wife in the house and about one gazillion of my good boy;

as soon as i learn i'll be sure to do it =)

a written rendition will serfice for now:

about 14lbs,white as snow, correct height for the king of dogs breed, docked tail & cropped ears,
and strutted his stuff like a champion, whenever we took a walk-
it was not always so-when we rescued him (although
well treated by the rescuer) he was overgrown in hair-and didn't know the dog bed was for him-so he laid on the bare vinyl flooring until my wife showed him it was for him;tender loving care,good diet& grooming rendered the above appearance;my wife always said he knew he was pretty;
thank you all who wrote to me;earl

Casper
by: Fred

I know your grief and pain. I lost Charley this December, just before Christmas. My heart still aches for him, but he is also at peace. I rescued him late in his life. Nobody knew his age. His first vet visit told the story. It was a week after I brought him home. The vet looked at his teeth and told me that he was 10 and that I had a chance to take him back to the shelter. I fought back tears and told the vet that I don't believe you throw someone away because they are old or sick and that he was mine as long as God would let me care fo him.

It has been a few months and when I am walking my dogs or sometimes when it is quiet, I somehow think I hear him or see him in the corner of my eye. God bless you and Casper.
