It is with sad­ness and dis­be­lief that we announce the untimely pass­ing of Wavey.
What can we say about Wavey, she was the most per­fectly imper­fect ‘Por­tuguese Water Dog’. When we think about Wavey the words which come to mind are Com­i­cal, Mis­chie­vous, Loud and Happy, Wavey was in love with life and par­tic­u­larly her own.

Wavey was also a one of a kind girl who would man­age to steal the hearts of all who would come to know her and if you were not care­ful she would also steal your lunch. As such, we can say that Dog­gie Heaven will cer­tainly be shaken up with Wavey’s arrival; things will never be the same again up there.

Wavey first joined The Orig­i­nal Dog House in 2005 and from that time it would always be an excit­ing adven­ture for us when Wavey was around and yet now that she is no longer here she has left behind an empti­ness which can­not be filled.

The entire staff at The Orig­i­nal Dog House wishes to extend their most sin­cere con­do­lences to Wavey’s fam­ily, mainly Bon­nie (Mom), Peter (Dad), Cobi & Jessy.

Rest in Peace Girl

We will always remem­ber you with smiles on our faces.

WAVEY Wavey Druxerman   (2004 – 2011)
Wavey girl, you were always an excit­ing chal­lenge when arriv­ing at The Dog House, we all could hear your excited bark­ing long before you would enter the build­ing and I would always chuckle (to myself) when I would see the look of embar­rass­ment on your Mom’s or Dad’s faces. I guess you just could not help being happy when you would come to visit us. How­ever, you were also an excel­lent mem­ber of our pack and your com­i­cal and sweet per­son­al­ity endeared you to all of us.
I will miss you very much, not to men­tion all the won­der­ful lit­tle gifts your Mom would always bring in for us.
From now on you will not be in pain any more, until we meet again girl.

With love from David and your 2 good friends Dash & Loo
