Downey Danes Of Virginia

Most everyone is familar with the Rainbow Bridge. But what I think that is not said enough, is how they change the rest of your life, even after they are gone. So this is a little page to tribute to that. How just one little bright star can change the life of yours and so many around you. I want to say so many things, and maybe one day I will, but for now I will just post the names and pictures of a few babies that Changed my life forever, not all were owned or bred by me but held a special place in my heart. Love to all of them, but most of all I want to say thank you, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life and change mine because of it.

Paris' Friday Knight, was my best friend. He was my very first dane. He changed my life forever. Before Friday, I worked as a Corporate Sales Director for four Major Hotel chains. When Friday got ill, and the vet misdiagnosed him for 2 years as having Lyme Disease, I was devastated. By the time I got him properly Diagnosed at a different specialist, It was too late. Friday changed my life in so many ways I couldn't name them all, But I guess the most obvious is that I quit my job, went back to school, in the animal field and began working at a vet, vowing that I would no longer rely on others to save my pets by just their word. Friday also in a way helped me find my very best friend in the world. I wrote a Poem for Friday. Click Here to read it. Pause the Music at the bottom of this page as the poem has its own music and they will play on top of each other.

Tiny was a sweet gentle soul. And belonged to my best friend. He along with the help of Friday brought us together. Tiny's sister Libby still remains with them. Tiny's was a caring loving little boy that was a joy to be with. Tiny was and is still loved by many. Including me. Thank you Tiny.

Clio was a beautiful bright eyed puppy from one of our litters. She was 5 weeks old when she passed. She was injured in play with the pack during eating, which caused her to choke. Clio changed my life because, she brought our family back together. I know if sounds crazy, but she did. Clio was sweet and kind and loved to play. She was loved by many, and we will miss her sooo much.
