Spanky Adams crossed the Rainbow Bridge on July 30, 2002, after a brief illness.
His tales and stories will always live on in our hearts. The following
post appeared on the AOL Bichon board and
some of you have asked to do this as a lasting
memorial to our friend. Spanky's Mom, Ardys
Adams, at Spankybaby2000@aol.com,
is a dear friend and supporter of Small Paws® Rescue. We will send a beautiful custom made card
to Ardys with your names on it if you would
like to be included in this memorial. Spanky
was a legend in our own minds and a true
icon among us. This is the end of an era
for the Bichons and the people who love them
on the AOL Bichon Board.

Spanky and his mom have been on my mind since
I heard the terrible news about our favorite
little buddy Spanky. I was trying to think
of some way to have a fitting memorial for
Spanky. My thoughts were to donate money
to Small Paws® Rescue in honor of Spanky.
If other members of the board would contribute
even a small amount of money in memory of
him, I believe that would be something that
Ardys would think would be a very special
way to honor her Spanky. I also have thought
about putting a picture of Spanky right next
to GramStar as the leaders of the Bichon
Brigade Parade.
Last night as I was trying to fall asleep,
I couldn't keep from thinking about Spanky
and Ardys. I had to keep turning my pillow
over because it was so wet with tears, and
I had to keep the kleenex right beside my
bed too. Finally I thought of the donation
to SPR in honor of Spanky. I hope this will
be something for others who are mourning
for Spanky and for Ardys whose heart must
be breaking.
Bichon love and prayers,
Katie, Beau and mom Mickey

Special Place
You have a special place, Dear Lord, that
I know you'll always keep.
A special place reserved for dogs, to peacefully
fall asleep.
A place with fluffy pillows, and a yard for
hiding bones,
With maybe a little babbling creek, that
rushes over stones.
With wide green fields and flowers, for those
who never knew
Of running, playing freely under sky of perfect
blue.
Lord, I know you keep this special place,
And so, to you I pray
For one oh so special dog Who came to you
today.
He was full of strength and love, And so
very, very wise.
The puppy look he once had, This morning
left his eyes.
He will be dearly missed, Lord, This special
love of mine.
But now, he'll romp and play in your land
that's so divine.
Speak to my baby softly, please; with a hug
and warm hello.
He's a special gift to you, Dear Lord; From
me - who loves him so.
