Cricket was a beautiful dog…A gift for my husband, chosen by my husband, Bill…Often mistaken for a wolf with a fuzzy piglet tail…She was the result of a Rottweiler, German Shepherd & Husky…Never have I seen a dog so beautiful & smart…Everyone who came to know her wanted a dog just like her..She got her name from getting her head stuck in a fishing cricket bucket when just 4 weeks old…
Ten years ago we moved to the mountains and she had acres to run and play…We noticed that she would look at the sky and run, barking like she was after something…We’d all look and nothing was there except clouds…For ten years, she actually thought that she was chasing the clouds off of our property…Alas, Cricket Hollar was created…She protected us, loved us and gave us 14 years of the best canine companionship we could ever ask for.
She is missed so dearly…Even by the deer she has played cat & mouse with for the last year, for last night the doe deer came up to our house, waiting for her evening chase with Cricket…
Our hearts are broken but we are thankful that God chose us to love and be loved by this beautiful creature for the last 14 years. There will always be a hole in our hearts here at Cricket Hollar, but she rests under the apple tree in the pasture she chased clouds from…
With Love Always,
