Kairos (Celhaus Hoffnung) at 10 years 11 months
“Hi Cel, sad news. We had to say good-bye to Kairos yesterday. Like Annie, hemangiosarcoma got him too. It’s so terribly empty without him. His kind, beautiful spirit will be missed. He had a heart of gold and did everything full-throttle, to the end. No half-measures with this sweet boy 😉 God, how we’ll miss him! He left us with wonderful memories and made friends everywhere he went. They loved him at the vet as they don’t get such awesome patients often. I got to be with him throughout the entire diagnostic procedures of x-rays and ultrasound so he was not so stressed. After it was clear that there was nothing that could be done for him and it was time to let him go, Bud and I sat with him on a bed the vet made in the examining room where he got to pass over peacefully with lots of love. He gave so much, lived a good, long life and now gets to run with his beloved Annie again. Thank you, Kairos!!”
Kairos at 10 years 5 months
“Kairos is doing fine. I included a note with the Christmas card about him having had an ear hematoma so you wouldn’t startle over his cauliflower ear. The ear flopping around bothered him at first because it was just not supposed to but he’s long since used to it and has become normal. Kairos still loves his ball and Kong. He goes after them a little slower and play sessions are shorter but he is in good spirit and just sweet as ever. He’s the best!! We love our home and don’t go out a whole lot but have fun here. We did AKC trick titles novice and intermediate with the little girl just for fun. I didn’t want Kairos to feel left out, so he did them too. I swear at times he looked at me as if to say “REALLY? Are you serious? That’s for babies!” But we had fun with it. I’m attaching a couple of recent photos. The snow we had the last few days was heaven for Kairos. I have to admit, I enjoyed it too. It was nice for a bit but I’m glad it’s not sticking around for months on end…”
Abby (Celhaus Hues Good Abbie Gail) at 11 years 1 month
(no photo)
“Surely there’s dogs in Heaven because a glorious journey that lasted 11 years ended today with my best friend Abbie. Unbeknownst to anyone Abbie had a tumor on her spleen and today it burst and filled up her belly with blood. Her decline was rapid and I rushed her to the ER Vet in Parker, where they gave me the bad news. I was by her side when the Dr. eased her suffering.
As the New Year 2025 arrived my faithful friend Tom had me come up with a challenge word for the year….. I chose Joyful. Abbie brought joy to everyone who touched her and that’s a very long list of people and other animals she touched. Just last night she was wrestling with her year old kitten Sylvie all over the hearth room floor. I only wished I had videoed that one. She inspired hundreds of children to learn to read in assemblies where she demonstrated she could read flash cards. If she could learn so could they. She was so sweet and gentle. Everyone thought she was laid back…..not if there was a squeaky tennis ball included. She was chasing one yesterday. There are many people that are going to miss her. I’m not sure what I’m going to do without her by my side. However God’s got this. Godspeed Abbie and thank you. Love, Roger”

Gunnar (Celhaus Gallant Gunnar Celebrate Chaos) at 11 years 7 months
“Just a quick note to let you know that Gunnar and I are doing well. He is my old guy now, has arthritis in his hips and the front leg that he broke but still loves to go for walks and is always up for playing chuck it. He just doesn’t last as long as he use to…but his spirit is still willing to run a bit. As always loves to go for rides. He has been in good health all his life, some people have said that is because he eats better than I do. Be assured that he is well taken care of and we are still going strong. Love my big guy!”
Hyder (Celhaus Hyder) at 10 years 5 months

GloryToo (Celhaus Gift of Glory) at 7 years 3 months
I lost my beloved GloryToo shortly after she turned 9, from hemangiosarcoma. She is terribly missed.
After she retired from breeding, GloryToo began working on another career. She is training to be a court advocate dog (dog who goes to court with a child who must testify in an abuse case, to comfort him/her) if and when that program is approved statewide in Wyoming. Her niece, Jamboree (from Soleil’s JJ litter) was the pilot dog for the program, which has since been sadly discontinued. In these photos GloryToo is working on a long down-stay with distractions, some of which move and make noise.
Harlee (Celhaus Harlee Von Grimmelhausen) at 7 years 5 months
Unfortunately, Harley died suddenly of cancer shortly before her 8th birthday. We miss you, Harlee…
