+Quoddy Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Monkey Girl and Turtle Boy recently received the sad news that the latest pup that they had raised for "The Seeing Eye", Pirate, has a heart condition that will probably end his life within the next year. The family is now considering having him back to give him the best final year they can. He would be in the company of their latest pup Dante with whom he had shared the house for many months. The REAL Quoddy and Pirate were always the very best of buddies. Pirate and Scully & Mulder's Autumn on a group hike last summer. Quote Link to comment
+Resolution Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Oh, that's such sad news. My heart sank. Best wishes to Pirate and also to Monkey Girl and Turtle Boy. What an honorable and generous thing to do, raising seeing eye pups. Kudos to them both. Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 That is sad. My wife and I have thought about raising seeing eye pups but wanted to talk to someone who has done it before. Very sorry to hear about Pirate. Quote Link to comment

Its a good thing that Pirate is having a great time with his dog friends and caching! Best wishes to Pirate. Quote Link to comment
+Team Rampant Lion Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Really sorry to hear the news. Bailey and I will key Pirate in our thoughts. Quote Link to comment
shanni-bugbait-wren Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 We were very saddened to hear about pirate. We hope he enjoys the rest of his days with you and yours! With a little bribing, Our cats will keep him in their prayers. Quote Link to comment
+tls11823 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 It's interesting that cachers as a group seem to be such fans of dogs. Our dog is a goofy dope, but he loves a good hike in the woods and we'll mess him when his time comes. I feel sad for anybody who goes through the loss of a beloved pet, because I know how much it can hurt. The best we can do is keep making room in our homes and our hearts for the next wet nose that comes sniffing around. Quote Link to comment
+lakelady Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 That is very sad news and while it may be hard I am sure Pirate will be happy if he can spend what time he has left with such good friends. Quote Link to comment
+Tallchief Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I believe I met Pirate on the group hike at Big Bill's Turkey Hill lake in Harriman last summer. He was quite a companion. I'm sure Turtle Boy and Monkey Girl and family will give him a lot of love. Quote Link to comment

Monkey Girl Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Turtle Boy and I (+ family), have decided to have Pirate back. We will make sure he has happy times with his family. My mom is going to pick him up tomorrow (May 10.) He loves caching and maybe you will see him on the trails. Thanks for everyones concern. Quote Link to comment
+Quoddy Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 The REAL Quoddy will love seeing his best friend again. We all loved Pirate when he was with you before, and now that he is going to be back, we will have the opportunity to show him just how much. Quote Link to comment
