Oh Tina, hard to believe two years have passed since you left us. You guys became my "family" and I sure do miss you. You do, however, live brightly in my memory! And thank you dearly, for my beloved Mistrettas Watiki Avi, my only champion, who could work and was surely obedient - (no matter what you said - - "you'll find out!") , when I picked her up at 8 weeks, and for Gearhart's Devaki Adora, such a beautiful black dog and spirit.

I miss you.

I am shocked to read that Tina is no longer with us.  She was instrumental in helping my husband, Erylon, and I become familiar with Aussies.  She loved the breed and all dogs and passed it on to so many others.

Dear Vicki, Angela and family, my heart aches for our loss, and I'm thankful for having spent years with Tina as my beloved friend. I will never forget her and I know I will meet her in heaven. All my love, peace and strength to each of you.  Didi

So sorry for your loss, Tina was the first breeder we contact when we come in the Aussie world, she was so kind with us.

This is such sad news.  I can not make the celebration of life.
Mistretta family and Tina has guides me down the road with Aussies.  
Friendship and stories of there Italian back ground.
Her physical pain was very challenging I can not imagine.

Hugs to all of you
  

So very sorry for the loss of Tina. I didn’t know her personally but rescued a pup from a shelter in Salem OR and found out it was a pup from Painted Lizard. We kept in touch for several years and enjoyed our talks.
