Hi All -

I just got a note from Jennifer Masterson that Scarlette's father Runner
passed on this past weekend. Runner is in many of your's pedigrees,
grandfather, great grandfather.  I will keep everyone posted as to
if there will be a memorial donation fund in his honor in case any of you
would like to contribute.  

Big Hug's, 

Gina 


 Here is the note:

Dear friends,

Please excuse the large emailing, but i am having a very hard time calling to

talk personally. Our Runner crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Sat. He had been

fine, bouncing around like his goofy self, then last Monday he didn't want to

finish his breakfast. Hmmm, not like Runner. Trip to the vet that afternoon,

xrays revealed a large mass in his abdomen, and mets in his liver. Nothing that

could be done. It was as if now that I knew, he had permission to slow down,

because he never showed any sign of this before that morning. The rest of the

week, he was happy, smiling, wagging his tail, but definitely moved alot slower,

and slept longer. Only one night was he ill, rallied back the next day and

entertained a guest (grins), but by Saturday, he was ready. I wasn't, am still

not. Many of you I have met because of Runner, some of you have kids or cousins

of his. And some of you just knew him. Runner opened many doors for me, but

most of all, he was my big goofy boy.

Til we meet again, Run-man!
