Harry is 3 1/2 and weighs about 22lbs. He is extremely gentle and loves people. He starts purring as soon as you talk to him.
My other 2 Ragdolls are Charlie and Sylvester. They are a few months younger than Harry. Charlie's coloring is similar to
Harry but his hair is longer and finer. Sylvester, my little terrorist, is blueish grey. They all have blue eyes.
EYC has lost another of it's members at far too early an age. Robby Goslin, husband of Rear Commodore Maria Goslin and son
of long time member Skip Goslin died September 3, 2008. Our thoughts and prayers are with Maria, Skip, and the Goslin family.
We'll all miss you, Robby.
Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep
- Mary Elizabeth
Frye
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousands winds that blow. I
am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in
the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine
at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.
Unfortunately, Calvin had to say Goodbye
to us today because God wanted him to come and rest by his side.Calvin was like
our child in many ways even though he was a dog and I’m sure many of you would agree.We were lucky to have him in our life for 11 years and loved every minute of it.He was different from many other dogs in a way that I cannot describe.I
looked forward to the day I can hung him again.
Eastern Yacht Club was Calvin’s
second home where he was loved by so many members and visiting guests from other yacht clubs.He didn’t miss any opportunity to go for a boat ride or club boating event.Each
year he would wear his Eastern Yacht Club bandana on Opening Day Weekend to PROUDLY represent the EYC Big Dogs.There wasn’t a weekend that passed that he wouldn’t stroll down the piers and visit other members and their
dogs.Last year, we were proud to see him representing EYC in the Nor’easter
Magazine three times as one their featured Boat Dogs and then for the Annual Boat Dogs feature edition.Many of you would see him hanging out on the back of the boat and occasionally take a dip and swim down
and come out on the small beach.He swam so much at that beach that A Pier decided
to call it Calvin’s Beach.I think this year I will post his “Calvin’s Beach”
sign at the beach in memory of him.
We told Calvin before he went to sleep
that we will sprinkle his ashes in his favorite places, so we decided that we will sprinkle some off of Calvin’s beach, from
the back of our boat, and then down in Fenwick Island some time this summer.
Paul and I may be very saddened
by our loss but we also have many good memories. If anyone has any pictures of Calvin I would like to get a copy because I
would like to create a memory album of his life.
I received a couple of kind words
today that I would like to share with everyone.
“One thing about your best friend and that is he has and will leave pal prints on your heart forever!
“One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.Whenever you visit
my grave, say to yourselves with regret but also with happiness in your hearts at the remembrance of my long happy life with
you: “Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved.” No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you, and not all the power of
death can keep my spirit from wagging a grateful tail.
Speacial Thanks to Clocktower Animal Hospital and Country Club Kennels.
Eastern Yacht Club has lost one of it's best with the passing of Treasurer Joe Rose on 11/1/2007. Joe went into Cardiac
Arrest in the Intensive Care Unit at Good Samaritan Hospital after surgery for an Intestinal Blockage. Our thoughts and prayers
are with Patty Rose. Joe will be missed.
