Memorials



Sally Seifarth
1994 - 2009
Although we are all greatly saddened by her passing, we find it rather fitting that this is the first memorial to appear on the Blairsville Animal Hospital web site. Sally was lucky enough to stumble across the Seifarth family as a stray in 1994, not long after Dr. Livingston-Seifarth bought the practice. Even though she was probably only a few months old at the time, Sally was a smart girl, and most likely knew what she was doing. She fit right in on the vineyard, which became her kingdom, and protected it well. She chased off deer and other animals that would threaten the grapes. She loved doing belly flops into the pond on warm summer days, and would do it all day long if she could. She greeted visitors with gusto and even developed a following. She was also immortalized by having a delicious white wine named after her, Sweet Sally. Her soul was as bright and gentle as her soft, white coat. She lived a wonderful, long life that every dog deserves. There will always be something missing now that she is gone, but she lives on in the memories of those who loved her.

Paco Barnes
1997 - 2009
Paco was a loving dachsund with a big heart. He loved to cuddle up in a ball in his favorite blankie with just his cute nose sticking out. He was the official greeter at the Barnes house when other canine friends came to stay. He will be missed by all who knew him.



Shirley Gelpi
1996 - 2010
Shirley was an opinionated cat that was well loved. She liked to tell you what she thought (a.k.a. hiss and growl) as she rubbed alongside you asking for pets, which always brought a laugh to those who cared for her.



Bacall O'Rourke-Cushman
1994 - 2010
She was the sweetest girl with the most beautiful eyes and silky hair. After sixteen years of living in Florida, Georgia, and Nova Scotia, she went to live with her heavenly pack - Brian, Bogie, and Sam. Free of her arthritic body and aged organs, we suspect she is able to again enjoy her favorite activities - running for balls and jumping for Frisbees. We will miss your tail wags, paw taps, kisses, and unconditional love. You will always be in our hearts.

Jake Lamb: 1996-2010
Bella Lamb: 2002-2010
Jake was such a gentle giant of a dog. Everyone he met was a friend. Bella was as sweet as Jake was gentle. She was always so happy! Both will be missed by all who knew them.





Captain Butler: 1999-2008
Annie: 2004-2010
Captain Butler, or "Cappie", was a handsome, kind gentleman of a dog. He brought "Little Orphan Annie" to his house, and told his owners he wanted to keep her. Such a sweet, happy girl, Annie was the first mixed breed puppy for the household. What an adventure that turned out to be! Annie was always a joy to have staying in our kennels. Both hold special places in the hearts of those who knew them.
