Hartscot Morgans lost a very dear friend and companion suddenly on Saturday, January 10, 2009. Mitch and his buddy Abby, our Golden Retriever, were out for their usual last run of the day when he had a heart attack and died. His death has left us all deeply saddened. So many people have called us to say how much he touched their lives, and how schocked they are that he is gone. He was a companion to the kids who came to our farm to visit us and ride the horses. Some of our little friends even have stuffed animals called Mitch. He was known by many names including 'The Prince' and 'Mitchy-Boy'

When he was a puppy, our God-daughter made up a little jingle which she used to sing to him to the tune of 'This Old Man'

Mitchy-Boy, Mitchy-Boy, how we love our Mitchy-Boy,
With a big long nose and a furry, fuzzy tail,
Mitchy-Boy is NOT FOR SALE!

We believe he runs now, free from any restrictions that this earth could hold. He will forever live in our hearts. We thank God for him. We are better people for the time we had with this magestic friend.
