   
Quietly and with dignity, our beloved
Silken left us one January morning. Our hearts ache at the loss,
but we are very grateful to have been part of her life for so
long.
Silken was so many things... the self declared 'Grande Dame'
of our household, an wonderful mother, our children's companion,
and a squeaky toy hog! There are so many pictures of her over
the years and we'd like to share these few with you. She will
never be forgotten.

Silken
was an outstanding mother... having puppies were one of her happiest
times!

She still
patrolled her domain (above with younger brother Jagger), but
much preferred the best sunny spots!

Silken
and Glen have always shared a special bond between them, and he
misses her very much.
