~ Julie Rowen,
adopted November 1, 1999, lost her battle to cancer at
the age of 11 on April 19, 2011. Julie's life and roles
were extensive and versatile. Many people will remember
her as a competitive agility champion, others as a
dedicated service dog. Despite the magnitude of ribbons
and trophies Julie won throughout her life, for agility,
flyball, tracking and dock diving, that is not how she
should be remembered as she was mostly a loyal, loving
companion. Julie's achievements in her short life would
surpass anyone's expectations. Tracking lost children or
dogs and alerting loved ones, and sometimes strangers,
of illness, her life was truly dedicated to service to
others. Julie assisted with training other dogs with
behavioral problems. She was also a co-author of the
children's book, "Waggin' Tails" and very much enjoyed
visiting children at schools or at their homes to
entertain and cheer them. Instead of flowers the family
request that donations be made to: ChaseAwayK9Cancer.org
or LakeErieAssistanceDogs.org ~ |
