Anna's Maltese Males

"J.R."

December 2004 - February 2005

J.R. was only in my life briefly. He passed away on Valentine's Day 2005. He was the son of Billy Bob, champion owned by Linda McDonald. Unfortunately, God needs little angels, too, and I think a scorpion bit him as I lost him so quickly. It has taken me a year to discuss this because his loss was so painful. Some day there will be another J.R. in my home, but I take comfort knowing that when my time has come, I will have J.R. to greet me, along with my other departed angels, on the other side.

Alma's Billy Bob -- "Billy Bob" Unfortunately, I have discovered that I inadvertently published incorrect information about Billy Bob, who was briefly part of my family. I would like to offer this statement in correction: March 2005 My Sincerest Apologies In the ten years of raising my angels, I have never, nor would I ever, deliberately mislead, deceive or use someone else's information for my gain. In saying that, I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to the following persons and to the American Maltese Association (AMA), for the misprint on my website regarding the lineage of Sire Billy Bob. First, to the prestigious American Maltese Association, who was so helpful in finding my first Maltese baby (Honey) and for teaching me the standards I have religiously followed in raising my angels for the past ten years. Secondly, I would like to apologize for the misleading information used regarding 'Billy Bob' on my website. It was caused by my human error and the miscommunication between Linda McDonald, myself and my Webmaster. To Billie Bechtel, who was so kind to bring to my attention the mistakes I had made in Billie Bob's history and pedigree (which was, in fact, his father's and not his). For this I am very sorry. I would also like to thank and to apologize to Jean Ingram, for helping me to further my understanding of championship and pedigrees. I discovered that as Jean and I looked over my Honey's pedigree, that we had purchased dogs from the same kennels in England. She showed me new insights and helped me to understand my angels' heritage. I am so grateful for her help. Thank you, Jean. I would like to note that thanks to Linda McDonald, Billy Bob was bred with my Candy. On December 18, 2004, Billy Bob Jr. (J.R.) was born. On Valentine's Day, February 14, 2005, I signed Billy Bob back to Linda McDonald. Thank you and God bless you for your understanding in this matter.
