Tula Von Barren Berg

In Loving Memory

1996-2009

Tula was my first pure bred german shepherd. Tula is out of Elsa Von Barren Berg & Quax Vom Parchimer Land. She is the mother of Jada and grandmother of Baila. Tula was very loyal & intelligent, she had the makings of an S&R dog, but I never had the time to persue it. In her younger days she had excellent drive, no fear when it came to obstacles and loved to play "find it", "hide-n-go-seek" & fetch. She could also scale a 4' fence no problem! Hips OFA Fair. We will miss our faithful companion.

Our love and our spirits never die, even though our bodies may be gone.

We are as faithful to you in the afterlife as we were when we walked beside you on the earth.

Sit very still, close your eyes, and feel the touch of our heavenly kisses upon your cheek. We will never leave you.

Mesa update:

Hi Cathy,
Just wanted to give you an update as to how Mesa was doing. First off I want to say thank you for for raising such a wonderful and pleasant companion. Mesa has not once left my side since I picked her up. As we discussed before I had wanted to bring her on an Angel flight that my company participates in with our company jet. She has been on eight flights so far and keeps each one of the patients company as if she had known them forever. Again, I cannot thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to adopt such a wonderful dog. She truly is one of a kind. Pictures to follow once I get around to uploading them!
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Cathy,

It has been a great year with Mesa! We just got back from a couple of weeks in Maine on Moosehead lake and with out a doubt Mesa is a water dog. Between checking out the ducks, catching balls in the water and trying to catch minnows while wading on the shore she had a blast! No matter where I take her I am always receiving compliments on both her looks and wonderful demeanor. I can't thank you enough for allowing me to adopt this wonderful dog.
