UKC GR CH CHAOS
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
CHOAS came to us a as a fat puppy from Patty Cromer of Maxwells Rats in Alabama many years ago and our life has never been the same.
This sweet suhthun boy won my heart and knocked our sox off in the show ring. He taught me how to show dogs as he was a natural and I was a Newbie.
Not only did I acquire my canine heart throb, I also acquired a great friend in Patty.
CHAOS's parents are:
MAXWELL'S FULL OF TROUBLE
and MAXWELL'S MISSY
He is a UKC Grand Champion and one of his daughter's was the 2002 #1 TOP TEN Rat Terrier in the Nation in show points.
CHAOS has several Champion and Grand Champion offspring and grandoffspring now. Many are still in the Top Ten. He was the featured dog on the 2003 front cover of the Brown Trout Calendars for Rat Terriers and in the year 2004 he is the featured dog for the month of MAY.

SAD UPDATE:  CHAOS was injured in September of 2005 and barely survived.  He was left paralized. I spent the next 3 1/2 months trying to rehabilitate him enough that he could stand and walk again. That required expressing his bladder several times a day and sewing outfits for him to protect his legs from sores as he scooted across the house. We made some progress but he was never able to walk or stand. He was relatively happy but he really missed being outside and KING of the yard.

It was an emotional time for me and for my family.  The Grandchildren were especially affected by this as he was dearly loved by all of them.  On December 10th, after much prayer and many family discussions, I let CHAOS go to his Heavenly Father. That was over 2 months ago and I'm just starting to be able to talk about it. My heart aches for my friend and I hope the pain will lessen soon.

I appreciate the fact that many of you reading this will be sad at this news ... but I ask that you not try to engage me in a conversation about it just yet.  

I tried to make a dedication web site for CHAOS but I have been unable to finish it. My feelings are still raw. I will do that as soon as I am able.  I appreciate your understanding and your condolences.

Sincerely, Gail
