It was love at first sight when
Arson first met Sheryl in Singapore quarantine..
January 6, 2006 - February
28, 2010
Sheryl shared her usual good night hug with Arson as he
laid down next to her bed Saturday evening.
Sunday morning there was no wake up good morning kiss for Sheryl. Arson fell
asleep Saturday never
to awaken again. Arson showed no signs of illness ... He was his
usual happy self on Saturday at bedtime.
News of Arson's passing sent shock waves across the ocean just before
sunrise on Sunday morning.
Arson was cremated on Sunday after everyone said their goodbyes.
Arson was healthy & happy LOVING the first 3 weeks in a new home with 2
gardens which Sheryl recently purchased
for the comfort of her dogs. Previously the Arson & friends lived with
Sheryl & her family in a 11th floor apartment house.
A house with a garden (yard here in the states :) in Singapore is almost unheard
of. Sheryl spares no expense to insure her
Aussies have the best lives possible. Running & playing in his new garden these
past 3 weeks were the VERY BEST
for Arson!
We are in numb with tears & pain for the loss of Arson. Sheryl & her family are
devastated beyond words.
Totally devoted to Sheryl, Arson was by her side 24/7.
Arson LOVED going to Sheryl's new groom shop each day & especially enjoyed
his swim trips to the public swimming pool. His favorite place was the
McDonald's Drive Thru where he knew a special treat awaited him!
Our hearts & prayers go out to Sheryl & her family. Arson will be missed by his
fans & Tapple family around the world. Rest peacefully sweet Arson.
From Sheryl ...
Hi everyone, Thanks for all the encouraging words. Arson passed away in his
sleep. Its hard to grasp that concept since he was still so young.
On Friday night, we went to bed as usual. The next morning, he just did not wake
up. I know he was still with me at midnight. He had moved
from beside me to above my pillow. I woke up to move lower so that he could have
more space and patted his head before going back to bed.
He normally moves to the floor next to my bed towards morning. When it was
morning and time to wake up, i reached down and touched him
from my bed. That's when i knew he was gone. I still can't believe that he's no
longer here. Sheryl
Sheryl, I don't post often
but am at a loss for words really. Todd & I and all of the Ragtime family are so
sorry for your loss. Thank you for loving him so much.
Jewel *** Jewel is Arson's
co/breeder & his very first "mom."
Sheryl, No Arson was Ellen &
Amy's puppy from the litter I put him on a plane with his mommy Hillary back to
Michigan when he was about 10 weeks old.
I saw him at nationals and tons of photos of course but I always have an
attachment (SP) to all of my babies. As everyone knows with a Todd X Hillary
kid they are all just as you describe Arson just like their mom so loving & good
natured & dad Todd always has a toy and sings to you whenever you come
home, he sleeps in my bed until I fall asleep then goes to his bed on the floor
& he is with me 24/7. As we approach Todd's 9th birthday 3/3/2010 I am
so grateful that he did produce so many great offspring with outstanding
temperaments & that they have such great homes & families like you. We do
all know your loss unfortunately we're all smart enough to have aussies touch
our lives & I'm sure it will happen to all of us again sometime in the
future, it never gets easier, they are all special :) Hugs Jewel & The Ragtime
gang.
Thank you for sharing photos of baby
Arson Jewel!
There was always a soft spot in
Debbie Neff's lap, a hug in her arms & a special place in her heart for Arson!
Debbie & Arson are pictured ringside at the USASA National Specialty where Arson
won 2nd place Open Red Merle dog.
Arson lived with Debbie & Maria before his move to Singapore. Our condolences to
Debbie & Maria as well.
Maria Neff & Arson .... Best Friends!
Arson lends a hand by carrying his paper towel used to clean his crate at the

Thank you for locating these photos Debbie.

Sheryl reports in
from the FCI SHOW in SINGAPORE!
Arson's performance was AWESOME!
He obviously won Best Of Breed, but, he also won
Best of Group!! Twice! He got it for both the morning
FCI show and the afternoon SKC show! Best in show was
a bummer cos he didn't place in it but that's okay.
We'll try again..lolz. He free stacked wonderfully and
gaited fantastically. He got excellent for the FCI
show so if I'm not wrong, he's on his way to becoming
an FCI champion. Hopefully by this time next year, he
will be FCI, SKC Thornapple Where's The Fire!
Cheers!
Sheryl
Thank you, Maria Neff, for
conditioning, training, handling & most important of all ... loving Arson!
