Singapore Champion Thornapple Where's The Fire "Arson"
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.

Hi Jewel, Thanks for letting us have Arson. He has always been and will continue to be always be special to us.
I posted some of his photos here.

There are photos we took of him on the day he arrived in Singapore as well as some that Debbie kindly passed to us.
I am filled with regret that I did not take more photos with him.

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!

Thank you for locating these photos Debbie.

November 1st, 2009 *** GOOD DOG SHOW NEWS from Sheryl in Singapore!
Just wanted to let you know that Arson won best in group yesterday at the Asian Kennel Union dog show.
We only have 2 Asian Kennel Union shows a year &  Arson's win yesterday was his 3rd consecutive group
placing for an AKU show. He had two group 3's at the AKU shows last year. :) This actually means that Arson
has a new title! Lol. Arson is now AKU SKC CH Ragtime Thornapple Where's the Fire!!!! Whoohoo!!!!!!!

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!
