| She was simply too good and I guess God figured he needed her more than we did. No dog is ever in our lives long enough, but Ella was truly taken too soon. She was perfect, and has left many broken hearts behind. | ||

| My dreams only die when I'm dreaming, | ||
| So I hold my breath, | ||

| Lexus was our first rescue Rottweiler. She came to us at (we believe) 7 years of age in 2003. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and lost her fight September 22, 2006. Lexus was loved and adored by Gayle, Al & Riley and she left a huge void in their lives when she passed. | ||
| |
||
| She will always be lovingly remembered by all of us at Ashemburg as well. Rest easy big girl. | ||

| It has taken me considerable time to be able to create this page in Isis' memory, and I hope that Karl and Sheila will understand the reason for my delay. It wasn't that I didn't want to, I simply couldn't. | ||
| |
||
| Isis passed away due to subaortic stenosis. The Rottweiler Health Foundation (www.rottweilerhealth.org) is conducting studies to try and find a genetic marker for sub-aortic stenosis as many times dogs can be "silent-affected", thus unknowingly passing this disease through breeding. Please visit the above website to learn more about all diseases affecting this magnificent breed. | ||

||
| Rest in peace sweet girl. You will remain in our hearts forever. | ||

| I Stood By Your Bed Last Night | ||
| |
||
| I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. | ||
| I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep. | ||
| |
||
| I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, | ||
| "It's me, I haven't left you, | ||
| I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here." | ||
| |
||
| I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, | ||
| You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me. | ||
| |
||
| I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore. | ||
| I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more. | ||
| |
||
| I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. | ||
| I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there. | ||
| |
||
| I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. | ||
| I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me." | ||
| |
||
| You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. | ||
| I tried so hard to let you know, | ||
| that I was standing there. | ||
| |
||
| It's possible for me to be so near you everyday. | ||
| To say to you with certainty, "I never went away." | ||
| You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew, | ||
| in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you. | ||
| |
||
| The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say | ||
| "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning." | ||
| |
||
| And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, | ||
| I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side. | ||
| |
||
| I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. | ||
| Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me. | ||
