Ch. St. Jon Ally McBeal
"Ally "

      

         

 

     In August of 2003, Ally succumbed to cancer. Out of the blue one afternoon, she lost her footing after coming in from the back yard. I rushed her into the office where I work and treatment for auto immune issues were started immediately. When she continued to worsen, we were directed to the teaching hospital at the University Of Georgia. The staff was kind and attentive but gave me no real answers. Her prognosis was not good. They gave her little time. Cancer was suspected but her condition could not support surgery. My little trooper remained with me for 8 weeks , longer than anyone would have expected. 

    I hoped and tried to help her beat the odds and be that "one in a million" who would survive but failed. After telling her she could go to the Rainbow Bridge, she left me. Ally now resides in my heart ( always ) and sits in a beautiful urn next to the Armani Cavalier figurine. 

 

     

 

     Not long after losing her while browsing eBay for Cavalier items, I came across an Italian charm featuring her. I was stunned at first. My first response was to contact the seller and find out where it came from and tell her story. The seller was most helpful and pointed me in the direction of the Pasante people. I contacted them and received an aggressive and threatening email implying that I was over reacting and that this gentleman had actually taken the photo of the dog and could produce the dog if need be. I sent him another email explaining he was mistaken and he replied with the threat of corporate attorneys. Although her picture has a copy right, any legal stands are to be taken in the state in question which happens to be CA in this case. Local lawyers advised me to "let it go" as the cost to stop him would be more than I could afford. She has since then showed up world wide on key chains , cross stitch patterns and others. I am honored that others find her as charming and beautiful as I did. 

 

    

 
     Ally's daughter, Ch St Jon Bijou Summer Dreams, was honored at the Cavaliers of Puget Sound Specialty for being one of the top 10 bitches of 2003.    Her grandchildren will add to her legacy. Ch St Jon Abbey Rd of Jollyrun has produced a son who mirrors his grandmother. His name....Alex, of course! He maked his debut in the show ring the summer of 2004. Ch St Jon Olympia at Lyric has given birth as well. Ally will continue on in her children and grandchildren. She was a constant joy in our lives and an asset to the breed. She will be forever missed.
