In Memory of Two Very Special Members of our Family..........

CH Polaris Oaklane Eloise UD, WDS, DD 8/9/94-7/19/05

CH Oaklane This Buds For Us 4/1/99-11/21/04

Every mastiff is special, but Bud and Eloise not only left a mark on the breed, they also touched our hearts and our souls. Eloise had an indominable spirit and was a survivor from the day she was born. She stole the hearts of everyone who know her and was the most devoted companion Joe and I could ask for. This was a mastiff who loved to work ,loved life, and loved being wherever we were. Tim picked Bud out as a keeper the moment he came into this world. He exhibited true mastiff type and temperament, and was always happy to do whatever Tim or Vicki asked. While going to shows was not his favorite activity, he showed his heart out for Vicki where it counted- at the Garden and at the National. He was the happiest keeping them company and hanging out at home. Thanks to all of our friends who helped us deal with their loss. We are so privileged to have shared our lives with these wonderful dogs and look forward to meeting them again one day. Until than, they will live in our hearts forever.

A special thanks to our good friend and Molli's co-owner Sheryl Garrison for making the beautiful perpetual trophies donated to MCOA in memory of Bud (Stud Dog Trophy) and Eloise (High in Trial) . They can be seen on the MCOA web site.
