Mozart was my Dog of a Lifetime. 

He was my constant companion, my top winning
show dog, my silly play buddy, my bed hog and 
food thief....and Mozart was my reason for getting
up every day during a very rough period in my life. 

Over one year ago I sadly wrote what I thought was
the final chapter in the life that I shared with my 
beloved Mozart.

Our story was one of love, determination and a
strong will to beat the odds.

On the following page is version of a letter I sadly
wrote announcing his passing to some of my friends. 
I had wanted to publish a memorial for Mozart but at 
the time I could not bring myself to do so. I was too 
grief struck over my loss and the tragic manner in 
which he left me. 

Now one year has passed but my sorrow has not. 
That gut wrenching pain is still there and the tears are
always just a second away from falling so I simply try 
not to think about it. 

I am finally able to share this memorial with you
because a new chapter is now being written and 
Mozart's Legacy will continue. The new  chapter
involves Mozart's frozen semen and CH Llacue's 
Madame Butterfly aka Layla, his beautiful niece...
and a nice line breeding which resulted in 7 
little miraculous afghan heartbeats. 

The most inexplicable thing is that these precious
babies were born October 2nd, 2008 which is the
EXACT day Mozart died last year in 2007. 

Mozart suffered no genetic or inherent health issues
in his life but unfortunately he did suffer at the hands
of others. I hope that you take a moment to read about
my boy and the incredible and improbable things he 
overcame in his life only to have it end tragically, 
untimely and unexpectedly.

Mozart was a Hero in ever sense of the word.

Please hug and kiss your babies after reading 
the following page. Tell them how much they
mean to you for you never 
know when they will be taken from you. 

Thank You.
