In Memory

On Feb. 15th 2008 I lost my sweet princess Asia. Asia is a black female pug. She was only 9 1/2 years old. A simple stumble would cause the downward spiral of her health. For the next 4 years i watched my little girl become weaker and weaker. The devastating injury to her knee's caused her to become less active and put on weight. The weight made the knee's worse. The day I freed my baby of her pain she could hardly walk. She layed her head in my hand and closed her eyes. The pain was over she was free. How is it that those brown eyes knew the deepest parts of my heart and sole. It's not fare that I have to miss you. I wish with every ounce of my being that my love had been enough to keep you well. I love you so much. I will miss you for the rest of my life. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being my friend being my sweet princess. You are so much more then a dog to me. I thank you for all the love you showed me. My heart hurt and my arms ache to hold you. I know you are happy and running and playing. Please know how much I love you and I wish I could have done more. Forgive me if I failed you in anyway. I love you my sweet fatty magiee.

My Angel from Dallas,her sire being CH Lonestar Cowboy aka "DALLAS" She has my heart. I have her mother and her daughter. She was "one of the best". ESP between us is unbelievable to this day. Never forget just learn to live with it. My Angel,missing you still and always.

I don't remember how our Rocky got the nickname Doodles, but we called him that a lot, and "My big pretty boy." He was the love of our lives, a big handsome Great Pyrenees mix. We also liked to fondly tell people he was our Chicken In a Lion Suit! He looked like a big old lion when we shaved his long hair for the summer, and was a big old chicken at heart. Just the sound of a leash or collar coming out of the closet sent him running... and God forbid we bring out the brush! One good brushing and he'd avoid us for days. He once got out of our property on accident when the gate was open for a few minutes, nobody knew it, and later that night I heard the biggest wail you've ever heard. It was the Doodles, sitting outside the gate scared to death he'd never get back in. Needless to say, he never ever wanted out that gate again. The biggest, sweetest dog we've ever known, his sweetness shone in those big brown eyes. We lost him at 9 yrs of age on May 31st, 2007 and our hearts are broken into a million pieces. There will never be another Rocky, he will hold a place in our hearts forever, and we'll see you in Heaven my Big Pretty Boy.

My Baby Girl Brownie, I still remember the day I got you from the kennel, 15 years ago, so young and cute, full of life, we both saved each others life, now March 20th 2009 you had to leave, I know you are being called to care for someone who needs your help, I miss you so much, I know that you no longer have any pain or suffering, I know you are still full of life and that you and I will come together again, until then, be good, be happy, and know that I love you so very much. With all of my love, Daddy.....

No one can truly understand a loss of a furry best friend until it happens to them. My beautiful Angel was my very best friend for 16 years. She cheated death a few times and I had a false sense of security that she would be with me forever. I know our loving pets don't live forever, but when you love your pet so deeply you don't want to think about losing them. I want to bring my story to the attention of anyone who has white cats or dogs. My Angel loved the outdoors and laying in the sun. I would've never known that she would later in life develop skin cancer on her head from soaking up too many rays.
She started to develop a small sore on her head, which I took her to the vet and was told it was only an infection. The Dr. gave me cream and the sore only grew.
The sore actually kept growing and had a horrible odor to it. Thank goodness my family and I moved and I sought a new Dr. to help Angel.
That was when I learned the horrible truth and my worst nightmare. Angel was diagnosed with skin cancer and went into surgery to try to remove it. The surgery worked, but the tumor returned in six months. I couldn't bear to lose her yet, so Angel had one more surgery and had to have her ear and eye amputed. She almost passed away from surgery, but she still had such a strong will to live. I got to spend one more wonderful month with her, then she was unable to eat and I had no choice but to let her go to sleep. I held her to the very end of her loving life. That day will always be the worst day of my life. So, if you have a pet and let them sunbathe, please be aware of the dangerous rays.
I don't want anyone to go through what I had to. It will be a one year on Labor Day that I lost her. There isn't a day that goes bye that I don't think about her. I know she is in a better place now, but she will always be in my heart.

Chocolate, u were the best dog ever. We lost u in July of 2001. The years went by, but, we still miss u. U are still in our hearts. Your family, Kelli, Nana, Nini, Brittani & PawPaw

She was the cutest cat in the whole world. I miss her so much but she will not be forgotten and she will always be in my memory.

Tanner was his name. Part Golden Lab. Born 5/19/91 passed away7/25/06. He got arthritis in his behind legs and could not stand nor walk so we had to put him down.The look in his eyes just killed us both knowing his life has come to an end/yet he was in great pain/ he knew it too /his life had ended. He got along very well with kids, he was a very lovable pet. We got Tanner a buddy who gave him an extra 3 yrs to live. Tanner took lot of abuse from the other dog who now is 3 yrs old.
Tanner is missed very much in our household. There will never be another dog like Tanner.
Miss you buddy.

Sadie was a Pitt Bull, sweet, gentle, loving and full of energy. She loved running for the throw of a ball. Sadie was only 4 when we found out she had cancer. Too short of a life, we miss her terribly. Pitt Bull's are wonderful, loving dogs. :) Thank you for letting me share this fantastic breed. :)

Cats Willie and Chessie each came to me at the tender age of 5 days, about a year apart. I was President of the Williamsburg SPCA back then and I took these fragile little beings home to care for them on formula. They both won places in my heart and lived with me for more than sixteen years. I couldn't have asked for two more loyal and loving friends and so, at their end, I was relieved to be able to euthanize them gently and humanely and witness their departure from this world. I feel blessed to have known them both. Dr. Ellen
