Max by Joey

Max

Words alone cannot describe what you mean to me. It has been one year since your passing and it is still so painful – I think it’s even more painful now than when I let you go; after all I really had no choice but to end your suffering and the decision was pretty much spelled out for me in black & white.

Darling

I will never ever forget what you did for me. You were a soul-mate in a kitty-cat still just a baby really only having had five months of an enjoyable life out of the two years you went uncared for. You changed my life; you were God’s gift of salvation to me during a potentially life-threatening time and perhaps I might have been God’s gift to you for the bond like we had together doesn’t operate on a one-way street.

Now a year after your passing I find myself wrought with guilt over your death. I keep going back to the original thought “If only you hadn’t been meant for me you wouldn’t have had to die.” Because I believe that in order for me to understand that I couldn’t die you had to die. Confusing train of thought hope you can follow but it’s what I question myself with everyday and I am now sunken into a depression as deep as an infinitesimal black hole; if I could reach in and pull you out I wouldn’t hesitate. But then again that might be the most selfish move I could make because you’re strong and healthy now watching me with your wings (oh darling you earned those wings the moment you stepped into my life!) from your little window-perch in heaven.

So for now I am just going to have to content myself with the hard fact that I gave you as much love as you did me during those short cold five months we spent sighing to each other next to the fireplace and remember that we will meet again someday in some form or another. Until then kitty just stay good up there and give God one of those super
Max hugs for me OK?

I love you with all my heart and nothing can ever take that away. You are dearly and dreadfully missed but your soul influences me every single day of my life.

Your Joey-girl

 

Frank by Chris & Gerald

Frank was a cream coloured Lab/Retreiver guide dog and the eyes of Gerald for 11 years. He worked in our local hospital and on more than one occasion helped patients who could not communicate. He would stand or sit whilst someone got the patients hands and stroked him saying Guide dog.

Frank knew who would give him treats and who had been told not to! He loved cheese crisp packets and could find a pub in a strange town. He was a character. He would not leave the altar rail till Gerald had received communion and was not averse to yawning if he thought the priest had talked too long! Gerald prayed for his eyesight back.

God answered his prayers. His eyes had 4 legs and a cold wet nose. His tail never stopped wagging and he was a pleasure to own. The pain of his loss is so severe but even to the end he would shake his play collar so his bells rang to let Gerald know he wanted to go and spend. He tried hard not to do anything in the house.

Dozer by Heather & Greg

We had been looking for dog for long time when we met Dozer. We believe that he had choosen us to be his family. From the moment that we took him home we loved him and everyday since we have loved him more and more.

Dozer was a foster puppy. He had been moved from home to home. Finally he was “home” with us. Dozer loved to run jump and play. He was full of life love and compassion. He was gentle with other dogs and other people. He had kind and loving eyes eyes of joy. Dozer was full of spirit with a kind heart.

Even though Dozer’s life was cut short by the accident he lived a full and happy life. He was such a good puppy!

To Dozer: you have taught us a lot about life. We hope that wherever you are that you are happy. You will be missed deeply. We love you and we will keep you in our hearts.

Midnight by Ken

Words cannot describe the pain I feel over the loss of my Mid. T & I saved Mid from a shelter. I still remember the day we picked her up how she was so happy to be coming home with us.

She was so good tempered and affectionate. She was our baby. She gave us many wonderful years of happiness. More than anyone could understand. We will miss her so much. I said goodbye to her this morning as I left the house. She never made it through her surgery. It was as if she waited for the right time to let go. My tears as I type this note is but a small sample of the void we will have in our hearts.

Midnight our little girl we love you we will miss you and we’ll see you again puppy. Mommy says your her little girlie girl daddy says your his puppy watch over us now.

Love

Daddy & Mommy

 

Gonzo Winston by Tina & Family

Gonzo was a very big part of our family. We knew his time with us was coming to a close but this did not make it any easier for us. We all miss stepping over you in the mornings when you were not ready to get up and your happy greetings when we all get home.

Gonzo loved singing
“Happy Birthday”..
and boy did he do it well. When we would call friends and family to sing to them Gonzo always joined in.

We know you are up in heaven with Grandma&Grandpa running and playing.Take care of them for us Gonzo.

We Love so…

Little Lord Sebastian by Sharon Wells-Mamaw

MY PRECIOUS LITTLE LORD SEBASTIAN
“SWEET BABY BOY”

HOW DO I EVEN START TO TO PUT INTO WORDS WHAT YOUR LITTLE LIFE MEANT TO ME. THERE SEEMS NO WAY. YOU GAVE ME A GIFT OF LOVE THAT I HAD NOT KNOWN IN SO MANY YEARS. YOU WERE THE ESSENCE OF INNOCENSE UNCEASABLE JOY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND TREASURED MEMORIES. INTO OUR LIVES YOU JOINED US AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT AND MUCH TO OUR SURPRISE YOU BECAME
THE BEST GIFT EVER TO HAVE.

YOU WERE A BIG FOUR POUNDS AT MATURITY WITH A BARK THAT WOULD SCARE OFF ANY MAN OR BEAST. YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD TAKE ON THE LARGEST OF ANIMALS IF OUR SAFETY WAS THREATENED. YOU WERE QUIET A CHARACTER ONCE YOU FELT SAFE AND SECURE IN YOUR OWN LITTLE HOME OR WHEN YOU AND I WERE IN MY CAR DRIVING SOMEWHERE. WE WENT TO VISIT YOUR MOMIE AT WORK TOOK IN AFTERNOON MOVIES WENT SHOPPING AND INTO RESTURANTS.

ONCE AT THE MOVIES A DOG BARKED ON SCREEN AND YOU JUMPED UP AND BARKED BACK. I HAD TO HIDE YOU FOR A WHILE AFTER THAT. YOU LOVED TO EAT POPCORN AND EAT ICE AS WE WATCHED. WHEN YOU WOULD VISIT WITH ME I WOULD ALWAYS FEED YOU FRESH BAKED CHICKEN. THAT WAS A FAVORITE AND YOU SAT IN MY LAP AS YOU PAPAW AND I ATE DINNER. THEN WE WOULD PLAY WITH YOUR TOY FOR A WHILE AND WHEN IT WAS BEDTIME YOU WERE SO HAPPY.

MOST OF ALL YOU LIKED IT JUST YOU AND ME. WE WERE TRUE SOUL MATES FROM THE VERY FIRST MOMENT OUR EYES MET. SO MANY TIMES I WOULD GO AND GET YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE ALONE AND I WAS TOO. I WOULD WALK OUTSIDE AND HOLD YOU. AS I WOULD LOOK INTO THE HEAVENS I COULD NOT HELP THE TEARS THAT WOULD FLOW FROM MY EYES AS MY HEART WAS BROKEN. YOU SEEMED TO SENSE THE LONELY ACHING I HAD AND WOULD BE SO PRECIOUS TO LOOK INTO MY EYES AND LICK MY SALTY TEARS. YOU TRUSTED ME WITH ALL YOUR LITTLE HEART AND
I LOVED YOU SO DEARLY.

YOUR LITTLE LIFE TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF MANY. EVEN BIG MAMAW LOVED YOU AND FOR HER THAT MEANT YOU MUST BE SPECIAL. YOU SOFTEN THE HEART OF UNCLE SCOTTY WHO HAD NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF PETS UNLESS THEY WERE BIG DOGS THAT WERE MADE TO BE MEAN. YOU CHANGED HIS MIND AND HEART WHEN HE VISITED WITH YOUR MOMIE LAST WINTER. RECENTLY HE WAS OFFERED A PUPPY THAT WAS A BULL DOG AND HE ANSWERED NO. HE SAID HE REALLY WANTED A “SWEETIE” PUPPY. NOW WE WON’T GET ANY OF YOUR PUPS. YOU NEVER EVEN HAD A CHANCE
TO GET ONE FOR US.

DARLING YOU WERE CERTAINLY
AN HONOR TO YOUR SIRE NAME:

LITTLE LORD SEBASTIAN.

YOU WERE A GREAT CONQUEROR IN YOUR LIFETIME AS IF YOU WENT TO MANY BATTLES. YET YOU NEVER HURT ANYONE. YOU WERE A CONQUEROR OF HEARTS. THAT IS IN EVERY HEART THAT YOU KNEW. OH MY BABY BOY I HAVE CRIED SO MANY TEARS FOR YOU AND MISS YOU SO. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN BY ANY OF US BUT DEFINITELY NOT BY ME BECAUSE YOU WERE TRULY MY LITTLE SOUL MATE.

I HAVE A CALENDER THAT I FLIP EVERY DAY AND IT HAS THE DATE AND A BIBLE VERSE ON IT. THE NIGHT YOU DIED I WAS LOOKING AT THE DATE-WHEN I JUST TURNED IT OPPOSITE AND THE PAGE THERE WAS ON MY BIRTHDAY. I COULD NOT HOLD BACK THE TEARS AS THIS REASSURED ME THAT WE HAD A BOND THAT GOES MUCH DEEPER THAN MERE FRIENDSHIP.

YOU WERE PART OF MY SOUL AND OF THAT I AM SURE. I AM SO PLEASED TO HONOR YOU ON THE MEMORY OF PETS WEBSITE BECAUSE I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU STILL AND I FEEL SURE THAT YOU ARE RESTING NOW WAITING FOR THE MOMENT THAT JESUS WILL WAKE YOU AND TELL YOU IT IS TIME FOR ME TO CROSS THE BRIDGE AND HE WANTS YOU TO BE THERE WITH HIM TO BRING ME ACROSS. THERE WE WILL HAVE SO MUCH JOY.

WE WILL PLAY AND SING AND DANCE UNTO THE LORD. EVERYTHING WILL BE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN WE CAN EVEN IMAGINE. WE WILL SING GODS PRAISE FOREVER AND NEVER KNOW ANOTHER TEAR OR WORRY. WE WILL SEE ALL OF OUR FRIENDS THAT HAVE HELPED MAMAW TO LOOK AHEAD WITH ANTICIPATION TO OUR REUNION IN HEAVEN. YOU CAN LET MY DADDY AND ALL OF MY GONE ON LOVED ONES’ KNOW I AM COMING. THANK GOD DARLING WE HAVE A PROMISE OF A EVERLASTING LIFE THAT WILL BE WONDERFUL WHEN WE ARE ALL TOGETHER.

SO MY BABY BOY- SHINE ON UP HIGH IN THE SKY AND KNOW I WILL LOOK FOR YOUR TWINKLE EACH TIME I LOOK INTO THE HEAVENS. YOU ARE THE GREATEST GIFT OF LOVE THAT I HAVE KNOWN. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU MY DARLING. I WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES AND THE WAY YOUR HAIR SEEMED TO KEEP THEM HID. MISSING YOU ALSO ARE

Little Miss Marlaquin by Jo Ann

LITTLE MISS MARLAQUIN
{Marlee}
July 28 1990-April 8 2002

“How have we loved you?
Let us count the ways”

We loved you:

For the gentleness of your ways
your constant purring &
the way you rubbed
your face against ours…

We loved you:

For your beauty &
those cool and limpid green eyes…
which won the hearts
of all who knew you at home
away and at the many Cat Shows
you were entered in…
You won many ribbons and
awards and we were so proud…

We loved you:

For how you always
greeted our guests…
{even those who thought
they were not Cat {people}…

We loved you:
For how you always came
when called and how you
were at the door when
you heard our key…

We loved you:

For how you loved to travel
with us to see the family…
{Alabama Illinois Virginia Etc.}
Never making any effort
to jump out of the car.

We loved you:

For loving you sister
Bonnie and how you’d groom
and kiss her…
We loved you:

For your playfulness
{oh how you loved
your Fishing Pole,}
All we had to ask was:
Where is your fishy pole?
and you would run to the
closet purring…

We loved you:

For 11 years 9 months
of unconditional love
and happiness you brought
into our lives…

We loved you:

For the way you would
curl up in our arms
as we carried you like a baby
around the house…
And how you would snuggle
into Daddy’s arm each night
and fall asleep
he would never move for fear
of waking you…

We loved you:

For your brave and courageous fight
against CRF
that terrible kidney disease
that finally stole you away
from us…

We loved you:

And still do just because
you were you…
Thank you sweetheart
for the many memories
locked in our hearts
we will never forget you…

We loved you:

But let you go
seeing you suffer was
just too much for us to bear…

Wait for us at the
Rainbow Bridge beloved Marlee
we will bring your Fishing Pole…

Until we meet Again
We love & miss you

Mommy Daddy & Bonnie

 

Sissy Miller by Mariah

She was like a sister to me. When I was bored I used to play with her than when I got older I stopped I wished I didn’t. The reason I named her Sissy is that I found her at my Sisters house & I’m glad that I had her.

I miss her very much!

Tattianna by Merry

TATTIANNA

Tattianna my precious baby girl…..No one will ever know how much I loved you….You were so special and beautiful. Those big big eyes and wonderful smile the way you wiggled your little nose when you didn’t like something….Your short little legs and fat little tummy were so huggable. I wish I could hug you just one more time. Just to see the pure adoration in your eyes to touch your beautiful coat and to hear you talk in those special sounds that only you and understood.

Oh Tatti you were the best little girl and only wanted to make me happy. Honey you sure did a good job of that. Thank you Tatti for all the wonderful years you gave to me. I was very blessed to have you. You filled my life with such joy that I can’t even find the words to express the magnitude of my feelings.

Tattianna I hope the angels will give you a nice little bed with a soft and pretty blanket for you to sleep in. To brush your beautiful hair and maybe even put a pretty bow on you. I know you will tell them how your mommy always dressed you up and how you loved all your pretty things.

Tattianna thank you for helping with my business. I would never have had it without you…YOU were my inspiration. You were the best little model anyone could have and you looked so beautiful in all your little outfits.

You know people always remembered you even if they didn’t remember me. You sure put up with a lot honey all the traveling (Big Bye Byes) the strange hotel rooms the van so fullthere was barely enough room for you(even though you only weighed 5 pounds)people putting their bags or purses on you and all the other things you endured.
What a good little sport
you were.

You were so little but you were never afraid of even the biggest dogs. Oh how you loved puppies you thought every single puppy belonged to you. You were also a very good mommy to your own puppies. I never had to worry about them you took such good care of them.

People said I spoiled you too much (they even asked if you knew how to walk because you were always in my arms or in your stroller) maybe I did spoil you but you never became a spoiled little doggy. It was impossible for me to do enough for you to show how much I loved you.

You made me smile a million times every day. It was the best feeling in the world to wake up next to you every morning and get so many little kisses all over my face. If I was out of your sight for even five minutes you greeted me as if I’d been gone for a long time.
Thank you Tattianna.

When I was sick in the hospital and nursing home and you went far away to live with Lannie I couldn’t wait to get well enough to bring you back home (almost a whole year without you) even though you had the best time at Lannies’ house with all her yorkie puppies. You tricked Lannie you little stinker!!! You made her think you wouldn’t eat unless she gave you a treat first and she fell for it you naughty girl. Boy did you have her wrapped around your little tiny paws.

Thank you for lying in bed with me while I was so sick and for all the looks that always said you’ll be OK mommy I’ll lick it and make it all better and I’ll give you lots of kisses where it hurts. You good girl you never complained no matter what. You were so easy going and laid-back and you loved me no matter what. Through our times of sadness madness gladness sickness and health and death you always loved me.

When I came home from NINA’s doggy birthday party with Priscilla and saw how bad you felt you still looked at me with so much love. When I took you to the doctor and he couldn’t find anything specifically wrong with you I had so much hope. Even though you couldn’t really walk you scooted across the exam table to give me so many sweet little kisses. Those were your last kisses and I’ll cherish them forever. I took you home and you seemed to improve I was so happy. Then you started to get weaker and weaker and I begged GOD to save you.

Tattianna I know that you kept yourself alive until I could let you go. You never took your beautiful eyes off of me. I couldn’t understand why GOD let you linger foe those 10 days but I thank Him for those last special days hours and minutes I had with you. I knew I need to let you go and held you all night and told you over and over what a good little girl you were and how blessed I was to have you for all those years.

You left me that Thursday morning in November 2001 and I placed you in your pretty little white basket with your baby blanket and pillow and buried you in a special little spot in our yard. My brother Jack helped me because he knew how much you meant to me. Tattianna I will plant a pretty tree as a living reminder of how much you meant to me. Tattianna my precious baby girl no one will ever know how much I loved you.

Merry

I have thought about you often and the things you use to do. Mom Dad Rodney and I all miss you. Although you are gone you will never be forgotten. Your spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved you. God has four little paws in Heaven who will keep the angels company for you are an angel yourself and will always be.

We all know that you are looking down from Heaven and offering your paw to us. Someday we will reach for your paw and know that you are there once again to welcome us home.
