Default Goodbye dear Primo

It is with great sorrow that I write this post. Primo, one of the greatest Am Staffs to walk the dock passed away yesterday afternoon. Vito and Lucia are devastated. An autopsy was done and they say he had a seizure or possible heart attack.

Primo was a true ambassador to his breed. He enjoyed competing and performing in agility and dock jumping , and he did them both powerfully and with enthusiasm. Primo had a hard exterior big muscular blk/wht exterior, but when you got to know this dog,he could melt your heart. He was a beautiful example of man and woman's best friend.

Lucia and Vito, my heart is broken for you...they are never w/us long enough.

Dock jumping was Primo's favorite activity. He soared off the dock like poetry in motion. This weekend Aries will be jumping in honor of his fellow flyer....

Godspeed dear Primo...

Team Double Trouble sends our deepest condolences. Primo was an amazing dog to watch jump. Every muscle in his body quivering as he waited to be released. He truly will be missed. He will be able to continue his jumping at the Rainbow Dock with many of our companions who we have lost over the years.

Vito and Lucia, Sir William and I send our deepest condolences. This news has really shocked us since the last time we watch your team jump in Sac they look wonderful. We will always miss the wonderful skill Primo showed on the dock.

Unhappy

Lucia & Vito, Wow, I am just at a loss for words to send you. I think and see Primo every morning as he is this months 'calendar' dog on James Babgy calendar. Tonight I will say a prayer for him and the two of you. May you see each other in your dreams every night.
We are so sorry...

Default Vito & Lucia

He was Power and Grace wrapped up into one. I loved watching him jump, Vito and Lucia, there were no Prouder "dog-folks" than you two when it came to Primo. . . it was so apparent how much you all loved each other, and it was a wonderful thing to see. My heart aches for you, may sweet memories give you comfort and peace in the days to come.

In Honor of Primo, Makena and I will dedicate our jumps to You and Primo this week-end in Sacramento.

I am so heartfully sorry for your loss.
