A Friend, a Mother, a Sister, a Grandmother, a Caregiver, a Volunteer, a Dog Keeper, Trainer and Exhibitor. A quiet and private person, but oh so generous with her time, labor, laughter and dedication to dogs.

Monday, May 25th 2009 at the age of 66, Janet Minor died at her Silvermine Ave. home in Norwalk, CT. Her close friend, Jackie Pariseault, and her beautiful Standard Poodles, Bentley and Zander, were at her side when she collapsed.
Janet’s two sisters had just come into town to help celebrate Janet’s 67th birthday, which would have been this coming Saturday, May 30th. Their presence made this past weekend very special for Janet.
Jackie began watersports in Monroe, CT. in 2007 and one day she brought Janet. Janet liked what she saw and returned with her Poodles. Though the big Poodles were not so sure about swimming, Janet’s patience and persistence won them over and they swam willing for the first time last year. It was Janet’s hopes that they would come to enjoy watersports and earn their team swim merits. The “J” sisters were always the first to arrive and the last to leave at our training programs and water testing events. They volunteered to help set up, steward the tests, competed with their dogs and then they stayed to help clean up. They took Watersports flyers to their other dog events and helped spread the word about the new wet sport. Without hesitation, Janet stepped forward to be the CWS event secretary for this summer’s two weekend water tests. And she would have been great at it.
May you make a big splash in heaven with your Poodles Beau and Bart.
We shall miss you in form, but shall know you are with us in spirit.
