"T-Amore's Kiss Me Kate"
September 30, 2006 - July 16, 2015

With the deepest love and respect for my sweet little Katie, I am saying goodbye. Katie had complications related to her c-section and spay surgery and passed away early on Thursday morning, July 16. Her four little girls are healthy and being bottle fed. Sissy, one of my other outstanding mamas, has taken over their care and cleaning. So these babies have two mamas, and I think Katie would be pleased.

This is a bittersweet litter of beautiful babies, and an event that challenges any breeder to continue doing what they do.

I know Katie’s babies will find wonderful homes, as we have people lined up waiting to pick their special baby. Katie will be missed. She is one of my first puppies produced here at T-Amore and is one that would have retired here and slept next to me on the bed (she LOVED sleeping on the bed).

In honor of Katie, the registered names for these babies will be decided by me and will pay tribute to Katie. You can give them a “call name” of anything you want. Just the registered AKC name will be predetermined. I hope you understand that this is a way for me to feel like I’ve honored all of her labors over the years and beautiful puppies she’s given me. All of her quirky little habits and cute bowed legs. She had the SWEETEST eyes ever. You’ll be missed, T-Amore’s Kiss Me Kate. Have a beautiful journey to the other side. Mama Julie
