Welcome to Marcus's Dash

            Sir Marcus of Muddy Pawz       

  December 13, 2004 – November 14, 2019

On this day, November 14, 2019 our best Friend, Marcus crossed over the Rainbow Bridge; after a valiant struggle of 2 years with TCC Bladder Cancer. 

Marcus was a loving family member who will always remain in our hearts. He was a happy dog who was the joy of our lives with his unconditional love. His tail never stopped wagging and even won a gold medal at the Central Bark Dog Fair in NYC for best tail-wager. 

Marcus loved everyone and everything from being with his friends at the Doggie Park, running in the backyard with his sister Gracey, Boating on our boat “the Ruff Life”, swimming in the ocean at Stonington Borough, lounging at the “Dog Pound” at the Dog Watch Café, weekend road trips to NYC, Freeport, Maine, Boston and East Hampton and just enjoyed every moment with his family. 

Marcus was a kind and gentle dog who left a place in everyone’s heart he met. In our eyes, Marcus never did anything wrong, and at times he could be a character that would make people laugh. 

Marcus would jump on the bed or couch and turn around and before he laid down, he would scratch until the sheets ripped. This was not wrong in our eyes, as he just needed to be comfortable and kept the tailor in business. 

Marcus was extremely intelligent; Marcus quickly learned that the Kitchen Table was the place where we ate. One day, we walked into the kitchen and Marcus was sitting on the chair at the kitchen table. From that Point on... that was Marcus’s chair! If someone was sitting in that chair, he would nudge them until they moved and then he would jump up and sit, waiting for a treat from the person he just took the seat from.  He was always trying to figure out ways to get the good "people” food. During the summer cookouts, he would follow people around when they had a plate of food, come up behind them and bark, startling them so they would drop their plate of food. 

Marcus also enjoyed car rides and road trips. With Frequent trips to NYC, he enjoyed the Spot Club Doggie Daycare, Central Park, Bryant Park, The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and frequent stays the Millennium Hotel.  Marcus was dubbed the Un-Official Millennium Mascot. He was truly a special part of the family, will be sadly missed and will remain in our hearts forever.
