People who didn’t know you thought you could be surly and aloof but you were really a loving cat especially in your later years. You preferred to stay in the background as was your nature but you will always be up front in our hearts. Be at peace Youser. We love you and miss you.

IN TENDER LOVING MEMORY
OF MY BEST FRIEND.

Bud you were my best friend for so many years. In The 14 precious years I was so very fortunate to have you in my life we shared so many unforgotten moments together. I will never forget “our” shared love of socks. You loved yours as well as mine you little stinker!

You had a huge personality in such a tiny little body. You were so very playful. You never lost that will to play even when you weren’t feeling well. You were fearless bold very rebellious smart and persistant. You were so loved by me and so many others for your great sense of humor.

You were sensitive to my feelings and comforted me in my sadness by licking away my tears. You and I lived our days and nights for each other thru the worst of my depression. You kept me alive when I felt I could no longer go on. I know that at last you are at peace. Enjoy your new home in heaven.

I love you baby!

Your earth mommy

We were babies at the same time and for ten years all my memories have you there with me until 16th July 2001 when you left us. You are now a real angel Sandi watching over me and mum.

My precious Lolie

I miss you so much Baby Girl. Today is my 45th birthday. Wow I was only 28 years old when I held you for the first time –
you were only two days old!!!

I will forever have this memory like it was yesterday….. holding a tiny velveteen puppy that fit into the palm of my hand. I had no idea how much love and happiness was in store for me for the next 16 years. My heart has been broken since you crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 2nd. I feel like I’m still in shock sometimes I just don’t know what to do because I don’t have you here with me I just feel so sad without you.

Taffy misses you so much. She had her 14th birthday on July 11th. I know Patches (paw print 136) was happy to see you at the Bridge. Rusty and Diamond are my new sweet 2-year old babies that would’ve loved to have you around to play with. I know you met Rusty but you were really getting tired in that stage of your life I think you might not remember him. I rescued Diamond a month or so after you went to the Bridge. Anyway the young pups are so silly they remind me of you and Patches and Taffy when you were all young and playing together. Sometimes Taffy will bark and twist around with them when they’re playing.

I miss your sweet face so much my little Lola the Rola Pola. I can still see the way your left ear always stuck straight out like a left turn signal. You always sat by the doorway and waited for me to come back to you or else you were always following me every step I took when I was with you at home. It seems surreal that you are not with me now. What would I do to hold you and hug you and kiss you again!

I hope you had a good last day on earth with Mommy when we went for a stroller ride around the neighborhood and you ate a boiled egg (your favorite meal) and we hugged a lot and took videos and pictures.

Sweet girl I didn’t wan’t to say goodbye but you weren’t able to walk any more on this earth so Mommy and Daddy and Dr. Namie helped you cross over the Bridge. I know that Patches was so glad to see you. I’m glad I got to hold you in my arms at home when I hugged you and kissed you
for the last time on earth.

I am so honored to know that you spent your whole life with me. I only hope that I was worthy of your love and loyalty.

What a wonderful adventure I had spending the last part of the 80’s the whole decade of the 90’s and the beginning of the 2000’s with “Three Little Brown Jugs in a Row”!! You and Taff-Taff and Patchy-Patch!! Wow at one time I had three doggies that were 13 14 and 15 years old that had been together for almost all their lives!

Baby Girl I love you and love you and love you some more. I miss you more than I can ever say but I’m glad that you are now running free with Patchy-Patch and you can hear and see again and you have all the
joys of Heaven to behold.

I’ll see you soon my
sweet-sweet-sweet-sweet-
sweet-sweet.

I love you so much

I MISS YOU LOTS MY ANGEL
AND I LOVE YOU LOTS.
WE WILL ALL MISS YOU
OUR BELOVED.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

Never forget Lucas – and all the others that pass on senselessly at the neglect of their owners. Our Lucas the puppy that lived (and died) next door touched all our hearts this past year.

He helped our Domino get better quicker by instantly playing with him shortly after Domino was hurt. Please pass the message that if anyone who suspects that another is negelecting their pet please look into it – and if you are considering a pet know this:

They are as needy as human babies and if your life cannot be devoted to giving your pet the best don’t bring home that cute
black bundle of fur!

My sweet kitty cat –

Chris

My dearest Tuff

You were only with me for a short time but in that time you became a son to me. Whenever I was depressed you would always come up and purr in my ear to lift my spirits up. You always knew how to make me smile even when I was mad. I just want you to know that I did all I could to help you get better. I love you so very much and that I think of you always.

Scooter and Stormy will miss you alot. And your mom well she loves you just as much as I do. I tell her every day that your in heaven and that she will see you again. I don’t know if you remember but she kissed you before you were buried. She sends her with you. And she wanted you to know that she will always love you. Even she tried to help you get better we all did. I love you Tuff stay sweet and remember I will see you again some day. Just keep purring and
I will find you again.

Your Mom

Tender loving POCO

Always the curious one looking through the blinds to see who she could see and how when you were a pup you loved to tepee the living room with toilet paper once you knew I was going to go out of town. You loved everyone and everyone loved you. I miss you and look at your photographs around the house all the 8×10 photos of you how you liked to wear bandanas and sit on the New York Times newspaper while I would read. You were the philospher like dad always said you were and you stayed up with him at night when he came in from San Francisco to visit.

You always brightened my day and cuddled up next to me on winters day. You enjoyed chopping down on sprinklers when they were on to get the water and play. You observed Buffy and Freckles mainly you nurtured Freckles when I brought her home and she was a little pup. But more so Buffy you were so excited to have Buffy in your life you made sure she had everything in her play pin. You were an excellent love to them. You were named Poco Poquita Champagne. Your colors were like that. More of a white Cocker Spaniel. I always think of you and now with the passing of your little one Freckles it has made it even more difficult.

Tomorrow I will have a memorial service for all three of you in Sedona since you all were together before when Freckles was just a pup. I am sorry that I thought by helping you get better things did not work in the long run for the chemotherapy for you. You had a very good doctor who would come in from Tucson to Phoenix to see you and she was so good to you. And she cared about you.

God be with you Poco for I know that Freckles has joined you now after such a long time and Buffy the Queen is by your side. I want you to know that I was not able to get a cat for Buffy and Freckles I know you liked cats a lot that was your daily chore sitting by the diving board in the pool and watch the cats next door. Poco my sweetnes prayer is a garden for planting good things and I am planting a prayer that you and your sisters are joined together and know that I miss our outings and how you would go to the water fountains. I am sorry I had to let you go on July 7th 1992 that was the worse day of my life and I changed since then on.
Even though I did not get
to see you
when they put you down.

Please know that my heart is with you. You will always be the philospher and talented little girl. You gave me so much love and comfort. Thanks for being there and lending an ear when I needed you. Poco you always gladdened everyones heart like sunshine that cheers the day. Thanks for taking care of Buffy and Freckles.

I love you and I miss you.

I love you so much. I will always love you. For the past 6 years you were all I ever loved. We had some great moments in time. Everything you did I loved. You are my baby. And where you are now I hope you are happy. Mommy will be there wait for me.

The night before your passing. I wanted to let you know I am sorry for. I didn’t want to hold you and let you sleep with me over night for fear of hurting you. I am sorry and I still regret it. Please forgive me. I wish I could take it back sweetie.

You will always be a part of me no matter where you are. I love you and as will I always. Don’t forget me as I will never forget you. You are my “piggy poo”. I miss you and want you here right now as I know I am not able to have you here. You are the love of my life. Be good where you are. And remember I will always love you for now and forever. Peace be with you. As I will too.

Love ALWAYS!

Mrs. Elliott {Elli}
SERVICE DOG

Life can be tough sometimes……..

It is ALWAYS sad when you have to “put to sleep” a beloved pet. This is what we had to do last evening and our hearts are heavy with the loss of our cherished dog.

Elli came to us 5 years ago. She was a “service dog” for a little girl who passed away at the age of only 6 years old. It was extremely difficult for the family to continue to keep Elli as the dog was a constant reminder of their little jewel that moved to heaven.

Elli was placed on a special list for Golden Retrievers in need of good homes. Elli was shipped from San Diego California to Tucson to her new home. However her new owners gave her up because she was suffering from severe separation anxiety disorder…. plus she had NEVER been around the extremely lighting and thunder that we have here in Tucson. It was hard enough that Elli lost the little girl that she loved so much but then to be moved into another family at the very time that Tucson was having the monsoons was too much. Elli became a dog out of control.

She was taken from that home and given to yet another family. The family only kept Elli a few weeks before they realized that
they could not handle her.

At that time Christa (our daughter) was active in the TOP DOG SERVICE PROGRAM (training service dogs. Christa owns her own service dog). Top Dog ask us if we would PLEASE take Elli as we were her last hope. After seeing Elli your heart was touched. She was not only a beautiful dog but she had the sweetest nature.

She would do almost
anything to please you.
And of course we say yes.

Elli attached herself to me as I was the person who was around the house the most. Christa worked on Elli’s disorders but after a couple years we realized that we were only going to be able to treat her symptoms and protect her from harming herself whenever we left the house or when thunderstorms occurred. We purchased a HUGE kennel constructed of metal only to find that when we returned home from a short time to the grocery store that she had TORN THROUGH the metal mesh to free herself in hopes of getting to us. We then purchased a large plastic molded kennel. Took out all the metal mesh and replaced it with one inch metal bars. Scott mounted the bars so that they would spin when Elli would dig at the bars.

(This worked for years.)

July through September were the worse months for Elli as the cracks of thunder would destroy her and she would try to dig holes in our carpet or walls in hopes of being able to hide from a sound that she did not understand. We tried MANY different methods in hopes of calming the fears that plagued her but NOTHING worked for very long. The only thing that reduced her fears to some degree was tranquilizers and placing her in her kennel.

Over the past few months I have had to be away from home more than usual in taking care of my elderly Mother and that meant that Elli had to spend more time in her kennel. We noticed that Elli had now learned to chew on the medal bars and the results were that she had broken almost
ALL her teeth.

Last Sunday while Scott and I were at our friends house for dinner when we received a phone call from Christa. She had had to put Elli in her kennel as the sound effects of a movie that she was watching on the television had sent Elli into a panic attack plus “I” was not there. Christa told us that Elli was bleeding from chewing on the bar. We came home and cared for her best we could.

By Tuesday night I came to the realization that no matter how noble our deeds were in trying to give Elli a loving home that she was only going to get worse with age and that our need to keep her alive was just that “OUR NEED”.

It was time to set Elli free.

Elli was one of the SWEETEST dogs
I have ever known and
in return I could no longer
cause her to suffer.

The decision was made Scott and Christa took Elli to our vets to discuss putting her to sleep. I didn’t go as I was a blubbering mess at that point. I KNEW what the vet was going to say. Scott and Christa petted and spoke gentle words to Elli as the drug was given.

Elli simply went to sleep.
(Even our vet was in tears.)

I learned MANY lessons from precious Elli. The most important was her unconditional love. I learned patience and the giving and taking. I learned that even if you try your best that some things are far bigger than your efforts. And I also learned that it is OK to say Good Bye.

Elli will be GREATLY missed but I have to believe that Elli is NOW at peace and maybe she is playing in heaven with her little six year old master that she loved so much.

She has No fears anymore.

Hug your Pet.

With a Sad Heart.

Queen BUFFY my little “noons” your nickname how sweet you were to me and everyone with such openness towards me yet very shy and fear sometimes of your own shadow and then once you got to see someone you loved them and always wanted to be on their lap even on hot summer days.

My little Noons how much I have thought of you I want you to know that Freckles missed you so much when you left her side. She never was the same from then on. She grew up more with you as she got older since Poco had died when she was still young pup of only 2 years of age. And you basically took over and was always with her.

I took excellent care of you as so with Poco and Freckles. I look at the photographs when you all are together just the three of you. I always remember your underbite and how your cute lip would show with your smile. And how you always would tilt your head to one side for everything. How you loved the house when I had it built you would run everywhere with Freckles. I miss you and carry you with me in the recondite of my heart and soul you always will remain inside me.

You were the Queen that is for sure and you never ever would be in a bad mood. You only became ill was on your 6th birthday; you came down with cancer and that was a tragedy. You did not last long and the person doing the treatments for you did not have much experience but I did not know this until at the end when I knew the color of the chemo was different and he said to me that he wanted a stronger dosage because you were doing so good to make sure nothing would come back or enlarge your lympnodes. I am so sorry Buffy you had suffered then because then you bled almost to death from overdose of Chemotherapy and unfortunately the doctor from Tucson could not treat you because she was pregnant.

And at that time there were not many people in the valley that did chemo. But according to the ER the doctor there said you were given too much chemo and that is what happened but I stayed by your side you had two blood transfusions within one month and then you did not get any better you platelets just never could be the same. I was so angry and upset for him doing that to you at the vet clinic and the ER people treated you so good. I laid by your side the whole entire time at home. I was with you when the time came to put you down you were in my arms and I was kissing you when you died. I love you Buffy and for a long period of time I played your favorite CD’s the songs you always seemed to like when I played them here at home.

Your playful Freckles has joined you now three weeks ago on June 23rd/02 and now you all are together even with Poco. I truly miss you and love you forever and ever. Sometimes Buffy there is so much in life we cannot understand or find reason for. Um sometimes Buffy we just have to go on faith that everything will be all right. It is so quiet here but I have Moka Java which you never got to meet. I got her later within the summer of 1996 two years after your departure.

She misses Freckles a lot as I do too. It is hard for me each day that goes by; I figured each day would get a little easier but it hasn’t Buffy. It was that way with you too and I miss you so very much. My little Queen “Noons” you are so precious your Golden colors. As I face the challenges that each day brings may you know that I am thinking of you and of Poco and Freckles.

I will never forget how you used to love to sneak into the pool without making any noise; you would step into the steps slowly and then look up at me like you had no clue
how you got there.

With you in thought
with you in spirit
I wish you comfort
my little Buffy and rest.
Love your mommy
