In Memory of Our Dear Friends

McCarthy, the harlequin Great Dane I adopted from HART in July of 2000, has passed away. He died this morning at the Club Pet kennel in Chantilly, VA. It appears to have been of natural causes.

McCarthy was my first dog and was the sweetest animal I've ever known. Over the years he was with me for several major events, including the death of my parents. Throughout it all he was a loyal companion, a best friend and constant fountain of joy. He loved everyone he met with an enthusiasm that became legendary.

As I sit here now looking at the house we shared I cannot imagine what my life will be like without him. He was amazing, he was loving, and he was family. He will hold his place in my heart forever.

Without HART and Maggie (the volunteer who helped put us together), I never would have known the joy of the last few years. McCarthy and I found each other at just the right time, and the last 6 1/2 years have been incredible. You do amazing work, and I thank you for it.

We adopted Millie 10 years ago from the SPCA in Warrenton, Virginia. Millie was one of a kind and I miss her dearly. She passed away on December 31,
2006 at 8:30 pm from lung cancer. I would call her Me-Me when it was time to eat or play. She will always remain in my heart.
