From your first breath to your last.... we loved you.

Words cannot express how deeply we miss our Joker. Joker was our first homebred boy and from birth, our favorite.  He was an exceptional companion and athlete, very active, lively and agile. Although he loved all of his family immensely, he was  Normand's faithful companion and shadow, always near, keeping an eye on him, ready to follow anywhere. Our Joker was more than a companion, he was part of our family, every minute of his entire life he was there sharing our lives, interacting with us.  We have so many photos of him with our family at holidays and other events. In his loving eyes you could see him "thinking",  almost human.... . 

Joker was a peerless protector at home or while travelling, especially with Nicole who would take him with her whenever she needed  to travel alone. On more than one occasion he showed us how seriously he had his job at heart, we always felt so secure in his company. Joker had high working skills and was eager to excel and please. He earned his Companion Dog title in only 4 trials at the Association Canine de la Mauricie in June 2004. 

Joker was our beloved Bria's son and to meet him was to love him. No one could  resist his charm and beautiful eyes. He lived up to his name Joker as  he had many tricks that he bestowed on his unsuspecting four legged companions.  He had a wonderful, cheerful temperament that brought a lot of life into our home. 

Joker loved to play and retrieve  all kinds of balls, as fast as he could... he would get so excited at play and never tire. We had to hide the balls as it was by far his favorite game. Joker had a huge impact on our lives and hearts.... we are still heart broken by his unexpected passing. He was truly a "once in a lifetime" companion.

Rest in peace dear friend and play hard, until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. Love you buddy,

Normand and family
