I was blessed to have our AJ in my/our lives for 16years. He was the absolute best Miniature Schnauzer in the world. AJ was son to Dad Ace. Ace Junior was an easy choice for name. AJ was the first born in a litter of 6. His Mom Sassy unfortunately after taking 2 years to become a Mom didn't want to be one. I knew the time was close when I went to check on expecting mom. I noticed that she had covered up a puppy still in a sac. I put the sac to her and she refused to help. I took action and was able to open sac and breath life into the puppy and he started breathing on his own. That was when GOD blessed me with my boy AJ. I hand delivered the rest of the 5 puppies that night and after AJ the Mom Sassy after each sac she did what she was supposed to in taken care of them. AJ became my loyal companion along with his Dad Ace and his Mom Sassy and sister Suzie. AJs Dad Ace who was 13 crossed the rainbow bridge first 9 years ago. Then a few mths after his Suzzie joined him. We went from a family of 4 to just Mom and Son. 7 years ago AJs Mom moved away with another family member and has since joined the rest of the family running free. The past 7 years with my boy were absolutely the best. I loved every second we had with him. AJ also was my support dog. He was by my side day in and day out. He loved being outside on his daily adventures,walks,camping, boating,car rides. I can honestly say that at my 52 years of age. Countless animals I have been blessed to parent on this earth their will never be another AJ. You were my best buddy and we loved you so much. Your presence and spirit will always be here in this home and I know you will always be in our hearts. I hope that everyone in their lifetime gets to have that special bond that only a human and their special friend get to have. It's unconditionaI. We love you AJ. You might be gone today but will with us forever.
