It is to our great sadness that I say that our shaker has passed. A little background... we went to gra to see if my daughter would be afraid of greyhounds. She fell in love with our Kitty (Mamba). But as luck would have it she was a 2-fer. So we adopted kitty and shaker. Our intentions were to give shaker a good home.(surely he would not live a few months past us adopting him) so we agreed. Shaker stole our hearts!! the first time we saw him roach my husband said grab a camera and come see this... we did not realize that he spent most of his life in that position.He was a fierce protector of Kitty and had absolutley no time for pain.. It was nothing to find him at the back door bleeding after losing yet another nail. More recently he had problems with LS, for which he was on a cocktail of meds. He was sooo strong. One story my husband wanted me to share was the night that he was sleepwalking..THANK GOD i STOPPED HIM... I asked him what he was doing and he replied "shaker wants to go in the canoe! he was laughing and sure shaker wanted this. I .. pretty sure he was crazy!! this event became a standing joke in our house. I'm sure this will be a forever joke. Shake... I love you like crazy!!! We all miss you!! We were blessed to have you.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Shaker. Sometimes the ones that come into our lives by chance are the ones who totally steal our hearts. You were blessed to have him and the few words you have written expresses how much you truly loved him. He was a lucky boy!
Rest peacefully Shaker, your family will never forget you.

My deepest sympathy is extended for your loss of Shaker. The best years of his life were spent with you family. I am a firm believer in " it is better to have love & loss than to have never have experienced the love at all".
