IN MEMORY OF TATELEE>>>April 4th 2003 to June 16th 2008

Our sweet little girl...
Hanging out with the cute guys.
Tatelee and her daughter London.
Just chillen with Brody.




Our little 4 legged seagull, prom queen and sweet sweet dog was tragically taken from us on June 16th 2008. She will surely be missed. Tatelee had been in our family for 5 years and was so adored. She was so spoiled and loved. Tatelee loved to kiss the boys in the morning and try and help me get them out of bed. Tatelee loved taking walks with Carey, me and the boys. We always had so much fun and found our walks to be great bonding times for us. Tatelee loved pretending like she was the toughest dog on the block even though she was so small. Tatelee had 6 puppies in 2005 and she was such a good mommy. We loved having the puppies around and when it was time for them to go we found homes with people we knew. All of her puppies have turned out wonderful. She loved playing with her friends London, Maddie, Hercules and Bebe. They will miss her alpha female personality and miss her bossing them around. The boys sure miss her and always remember to bless her in our prayers. They usually say something like "bless that Tatelee is having fun in doggy heaven and bless that she knows we miss and love her". Our lives were touched by you Tatelee. WE WILL MISS YOU!!!!!!
