Rest In Peace “Noodle”

NOODLE   (March 2003 – December 2014)

Our sympathies to Tracy Atkinson and her daughter Josie and son Tony on the loss of their beloved girl Noodle.  Tracy and her family were long time foster care people for our group. Tracy first developed and maintained our website in its’ infancy till her move out of the area.  Noodle was part of a group of six Great Danes taken from a horrendous home in Tahoe.  Tracy picked them all up and fostered till we found homes for them.  Deciding to keep 9 month old Noodle for their own.  Noodle had a wonderful life with Tracy and we thank the whole family for all they have done for Rescue over the years.  Rest in peace sweet Noodle.

Here is what Tracy wrote about her precious girl:

So many great Noodle stories!  She was an amazing dog….fearless, strong and bright, loving companion and great watch dog. I always felt and was safe with her around.  She got her name partially because she was always using her boodle!  Not always for good, but she was always thinking and figuring something out.  She shelped me raise two awesome kids, half the neighborhood kids, schooled and cared for every foster dog and cat/kitten we took in.  I couldn’t have done it without her.  She was exceptional in many ways and I feel privileged to have had her in my life.  I will miss her terribly, but know she is isn heaven letting everyone know who is boss now!
