BAMBI'S JUST A LITTLE DEAR, UDT
December 12, 1981 - June 12 , 1998


Patches the Clown, Felix the Pom
Many wonderful hours entertaining others
Sitting Pretty for the Camera
Bambi Loved Getting Dressed Up


 Whether entertaining others, or showing in obedience, Bambi could do it all.

    Bambi did it all;  from entertaining at hospitals, tracking, doing television commercials to winning High In Trials in obedience but most importantly she has been my best friend for 16 1/2 years.  Because of her willing attitude and charming personality people were always drawn to the little white toy poodle and once they knew her they never forgot her.
    She loved everyone, old people, youngsters and especially the ill and lonely.  Because of her love of entertaining I attended clown school and became Patches the clown.  We spent many hours  together making others smile.
    I learned many things sharing life with Bambi.  She taught me that dogs "Do Speak  English" and that attitude is everything. She was always willing to try.  We experimented  with many ways of doing things and she never gave up on me; accepting that one day I would finally get it right.  Most importantly, Bambi taught me that you can "TEACH" dogs, you don't have to "TRAIN" them.  Hundreds of dogs that have graduated from West Mesa School for Dogs owe that philosophy of "teaching" to the little white toy poodle named Bambi.
    Bambi is now jumping through hoops and sitting pretty for all those that have gone before her. Heaven is a better place because she is there and someday we will again be together.  Bambi, you will always live in my heart. Thank you for all the memories.... for making my dreams come true, and for loving me so much.

,
I will hold fast to the memories,
to all the cherished moments
of the past,
to the blessings and the laughter,
the joys and the celebrations,
the sorrows and the tears.
They all add up to a treasure
of fond yesterdays
that we shared and spent together,
and they keep you, my wonderful Bambi,
close in spirit and thought.
The special moments
and memories that we shared
will never change.
They will always be in my heart,
today and forever.
Bambi, I love you.
