Java

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

My sister's Toy Poodle Java crossed over the Rainbow Bridge last night at the age of 17+.  Rest in peace sweet Java.

I'm sorry for your family's loss. 18 years. wow. It is so hard. 

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

Thanks F.  I did get her age wrong.  My sister corrected me yesterday; Java was 18 1/2!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Sorry to hear this but wow 17.

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

Thanks everyone for your condolences.  I have sent my sister a link to this blog.

I'm so sorry for all of you but a life well lived, I'm sure.  The hardest thing I found, and still find, is that when my sister's mini dachshund crossed the bridge -- all the memories of our kids' childhood came flooding back --since Auggie was always with us, at the beach, at family dinners, long walks for sisterly "talks."  Even Finn still looks for him when we go to VA. Heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Anne, I am so sorry for your sister. It is so hard when we lose such a treasured member of our family. 

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

I am so sorry.  No matter how long the life, it is never long enough.  Please express our condolences to your sister's family.  She was an adorable dog.

I'm so sorry for your sister.   Java certainly had a long life....but, it never seems enough to those left behind.

What a darling little poodle!  What a wonderful long life this beautiful girl had.  I feel so sad and sorry for your sister and family. RIP sweet Java.
