It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of three of our dogs this past year (2007). Hunter crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 2.  He was owned and loved by Karen and her family. His medical issues were age-related and worsened to the point where he was entering respiratory distress, kidney failure, a return of oral cancer and joint issues. On March 6, 2007 we lost Ryker to Congestive Heart Failure, he was 14 and competing up until the day he passed. He was loved dearly by Karen, her family and all of us. In January, we lost Scooter to cancer. His fight was short but brave. He will be missed sorely by the entire Will O'Wisp crew but most of all by his devoted owner and handler, Beth.  He lost his fight early in the morning of Janury 31, 2007. You may learn more about them on the In Memory page.
