"Hailey" April 25, 1997–December 26, 2006 Lost to Cancer
|
Dear sweet Hailey. She was taken too soon by cancer at 9 years and 8 months of age. Hailey will be missed most by the family of Andrew & Laura Smith with whom Hailey lived. Hailey was bred by Rita Wernette of Birchwood Boxers in Michigan. I brought Hailey to Maryland as a young boxer with plans of breeding her to my first champion - my Cal, Ch. Amity Hall's Record Braker, CGC, TT. Twice Hailey was bred to Cal and they produced a litter together, and from those 2 litters came 2 champions, one in each litter - Ch. Amity Hall's Rock The Casbah, CGC, TT and Ch. Amity Hall's Rainy Night. These 2 girls went on to produce lovely puppies themselves and so Hailey's presence lives on in the generations and future generations that are here because of her. Thank you Hailey for being such a wonderful mother and producer of such beautiful and ring successful puppies...
Most notable with regards to Hailey is the time she very well may have saved the life of the Smith's toddler son, Michael. While drawing a bath, the phone rang and Laura went to answer. Suddenly she realized Michael was out of her sight and the water in the tub was still running! Laura rushed into the bathroom where she found Michael trying to make his way to the water filled tub, however, Hailey was standing fast between tub and toddler blocking Michael's efforts of passage!
Thank you sweet Hailey, never will you be forgotten and always you will be so deeply missed...
