DIAMOND BENAE VANELLISON May 15, 2007 - March 4, 2022 Miniature Schnauzer American Kennel Club Registered on August 13, 2007

Diamond was born on May 15, 2007. Her SIRE was IMA MAJOR TOO, and DAM was WILMAS LITTLE KACEY who were also AKC Registered. However, her loving dog parents Darryl and Natatia, were blessed to have been chosen by her to spend her very energetic, happy, and loving 15-years. Her dad and I were very proud of our "furry" baby, who we often referred to as our "Diamond girl" or "The Boss!" Diamond filled a void in our lives that was not able to be filled by conceiving children; so, she was indeed our furry baby as we always and will forever refer to her as such. Upon meeting Diamond at 8-weeks old, we informed her breeder, that we would select the dog who was the first to approach us with some personality and charisma. The rest is history, our Diamond walked up to both of us and affectionately licked our hands, which the licks later became warm and loving kisses until the very last day we held her in our arms. Diamond graduated from Pet Smart's Training Academy in August 2007. We have her certificate of completion, and cap and gown picture to always remember her smile.

A Special Thank You to the Banfield Hospital Team who met our Diamond at 8-weeks old. She became a household name and adored all of you. A HUGE thank you to Dr. D. Montgomery, whom Diamond was especially fond of during visits, and had a longtime relationship with until the day she crossed the rainbow bridge. Thank you, Justice, she loved you at check-in. We are forever grateful!

Diamond's cremains are with us and so is her spirit. Her Schnauzer Paw Prints have been eternally left on our hearts. Rest in Peace, our furry baby. You made it to the Rainbow Bridge.

Love always, mommy and daddy XOXO
