Memory of Ch. Summit’s Honey Bear TT

Ch. Summit’s Honey Bear better know as SJ who was named after a very famous military general, General Stonewall Jackson has lived his life in Weatherford Texas. His human family has spoiled him all of his life making him a very important part of the family. SJ has four grown human children, nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren that have grown up with him. S J has had a wonderful show career earning his championship at the age of two years. He was handled by Steve Arnold who did a wonderful job of showing him to the judges. S J retired at the early age of two to be home with his family, although he did make several short trips to father some beautiful puppies. For the last nine years he has lived with Summit’s Flash of Lighting AKA Molly Jean (one of his AKC champion pointed puppies) and three of the most wonderful Shih Tzu anyone could ask for, Pheobie, John Henry Clay and Lady Jazz and the newest member of the family Winston a cute little Frenchie. SJ, Molly the three Shih Tzu and the Frenchie love to play together and sun themselves in the backyard. SJ and Molly love to play tug of war with their rope and sometimes Winston would try to pull the rope from SJ, he just couldn’t manage it. Destiny, SJ’s human grandchild thought she could play tug of war with him one winter afternoon. As she pulled on the rope SJ would let up a little and she would pull a little harder. After doing this sever times the last time she pulled real hard SJ just let go of the rope and Destiny went into the ice cold pool. It was just like he planned it that way and if he could laugh he would have. During the summer all of the grandchildren came to the house to swim and as each one goes off the diving board SJ goes to the other end and as they come up he touches their head with his nose to make sure they are ok. SJ has lived a full and meaningful life and has been loved by all that knew him. He was kind and loving, a real gentle giant and a testament that all Akita breeders strive to breed in the temperament of their dogs. He will always be in our heart and truly missed by all of the family and friends Jerry & Sharon Weigant, Cecilia Ortiz Carmean
