Our baby CJ left us last night. He fought a valiant fight, but the time had come to join the rest of his family who had gone over the Rainbow Bridge before him. He missed his brother Bubba. They were best of friends from the beginning and it never changed.

He will join his Mother, Missy and his Dad, CH Blujor's Delaware Detectove CDX, his brothers, CH Balbeck's Badlands Bubba, Mickey, Little Red and one unnamed brother, Uncle Corkee, as well as his sister Lizzie.

CJ had more heart than any dog I have ever seen. He was never in a bad mood, took whatever silliness his sisters dished out, the entire time maintaining that dead-pan expression that endeared him to everyone. He was the quiet, silent type who really ruled in his pack. His overbite, not so straight topline and the hitch in his "get-a-long" kept him out of the show ring, but put him into the heart of anyone who met him. His kisses were sparing and limited only to people he felt worthy.

We miss you, CJ.

We will see you, Bubba

We lost Bubba tonight.

He was my Champion, my Buddy, my baby and the last born of 8 beautiful little Corgis. He was the biggest of all eight babies and the day he was born, it was obvious he was going to be a champion. He was so big that we named him Bubba as soon as he was born. What else could you name him?

My baby will be sorely missed by his Daddy and Mommy, his Grandma Judy and Grandpa Mike and Aunt Patty, as well as his sister Fergi and brother Cj, who all loved him.

He is with his mother, Missy, his Uncle Corkee, his too soon lost brothers, Little Red, his unnamed little brother, and Mickey who have all gone before him over the Rainbow Bridge.
