![]() Rain d. 3-08
Our beloved "Rainy Rain" has passed. She got into trouble eating things on the counter and we thought she had chocolate/brownie poisoining and was improving then suddenly deteriorated. It seems she had a bowel obstruction, probably from the wad of Pita bread she ate.
I'm still in the early stages of grieving for the lovely and love wanting sweetheart we got from you in 2005. Its going to take a lot to fill the void left by her absence; she was the most affectionate dog we have ever known. I have definitely lost a large part of me with her. My warmest thanks for the few years we did have together. Rain was one of a kind and we all miss her dearly Rain left us much too soon. She was such a Love. We are glad that we were able to offer her more than enough affection to help heal her emotional scars from her earlier years being sternly disciplined. Rain was slow to come around to some friends, but she made tremendous progress trusting people once she realized that she had found her forever home with us.
While we have had a few dogs that were all live in pets, with free access to our human comforts (including the bed), but NONE fostered such a strong attachment as our Rain. She spent many hours with us relaxing and soaking up all the affection.. being happy to feel loved all the time. As you can see from some of the pictures, Rain certainly became accustomed to being right in the middle of our home lives. It certainly is very empty without her.
We feel lucky to have been able to give her so much of what she wanted. We are also very grateful to you, Carol, and your fine Rescue organization for all your support with the adoption and in our grief with her passing. Its hard to imagine Rescuing a Dobe from an Organization other than DRT. Your many hours of dedication and work are obvious in the ample pictures, thorough descriptions and prompt responses to all inquires about available dogs. Thank you for the opportunity to love our first Doberman, Rain as much as we did.

We will never forget the day you came into our lives, when Ms. Carol told us she had you and you reminded her of our late Jess. I could not wait to get you home. You were a delight in our lives and we enjoyed every second that we had with you. The big chair in the family room will never be the same with you as you were "the princess." You will be deeply missed and your brother will miss you so much. We hope you caught the balloons that we sent to you in heaven this morning. I am so happy that you are with our Lord and out of your pain. We will never forget you as you made our lives so much brighter.
With love,
Mom, Dad, Jason, Taylor, Evan and your big brother Simba ![]() Michaela Aug 2000 - July 2008 The cruel reality of life is that one is never immune from its tragedies. We must sadly announce that we have lost Michaela, our rescued Scottish Deerhound who sadly succumbed to old age and suspected cancer. We mourn her passing, but know that we will re-unite at the Rainbow Bridge. While the work of DRT is focused primarily on finding forever homes for Dobermans, we cherish all dogs. Michaela was a beloved member of the Fama family. While she wasn't a Dobe, she tried very hard to be one. Epitaph on a Lap-dog by Robert Burns
In wood and wild, ye warbling throng,
Your heavy loss deplore; Now, half extinct your powers of song, Sweet Echo is no more. Ye jarring, screeching things around, Scream your discordant joys; Now, half your din of tuneless sound With Echo silent lies. ![]() Eli Fama

I have no understanding of the majesty of the workings of this universe of ours. I cannot conceive of the space of it and the power of it. I do know that love exists and that capacity for love was born inside us and many times the animals that we share our time with. I know that animals (in my case most especially dogs) certainly feel that love and like a magic harp the strings of common understanding will tremble with a divine energy and we will know, beyond a scintilla of a doubt. that we are loved in return.
Oh, how fortunate we are! Oh, how easily this wonderful accident could have never happened! And now we are called upon to give up the joy and wonderment of your mutual love and have tha5t friend disappear from our lives forever. He will live on in you heart, you know that but you will have to turn to this world crowded with unloved animals and choose another that can crystallize your reason for being into another grand and loving animal. At worst, Eli will sleep peacefully forever. He certainly deserves the ease but there is something terribly heartbreaking about losing such a beautiful and cherished creature. We may never understand it and certainly we may never recover from the loss but that is the human in us and, dear Carol, that is why you are wonderful!! You love the creatures and will fill a need Remember the old Jewish maxim, "Giving is such a blessing!"? I think that you have given all you are able to give to Eli and his life will you has been wonderfully full. I know you wanted more. I understand that and fully sympathize with that hope to delay the grief. But grief is part of saying goodbye and saying goodbye is part of preparing yourself for another adventure into a relationship with another Doberman friend You will not replace either Elijah or Eli in that roomy heart of yours. They have their spot but you do have room for another and another. Please don't let them wander in the wilderness too long. Your very good friend sends his very best wishes for Eli and for you on this day of change. Please understand that you are not alone in your sadness and you will not be alone while you grieve. Bob ![]() CoCo Chienel 1996-2008 We have lost our beloved CoCo to liver cancer. She had an incredible life and touched the hearts of so many people. CoCo went from being a “pound puppy” to earning advanced titles in competitive obedience. When we lived in Atlanta, she was also a pet therapy dog who loved to visit children in the hospital and the elderly in assisted living homes. CoCo was an outstanding ambassador for the Doberman breed, embodying beauty, intelligence, and affection. She enriched our lives in so many ways—we look forward to the time when we can focus on our innumerable happy memories of our life with her and not on grieving our loss. Rebecca, Frank, and Mousse
