Pet Tale
Kiara
I’m 26 and have had Kiara since I was 7 years old. She was an instinctive critter, knew when people were going to do wrong to me and when they were good. I was a mean ass 7 year old and didn’t know any better yet she still would sleep with me at night, every night. She’s been thru every one of my moves and only once had to be away from me for a month due to a domestic situation. She was an intelligent and silly girl. Not fond of other cats but it took a 3rd cat to convince her that the cats weren’t all assholes. She lived a great life once I left my parents. Fed better food. Cozy beds, windows all around, some places had balconies and she’d sleep out in the sun. Her temper was short. But never with me. I could be a little rough with her and she’d still purr and choose to stay around me. I loved her very much.
Nala – Best dog ever!
My Nala was a rescue but I actually think she rescued me. I have had a lot of dogs but she was the best, even when she was young she was so good. She was always happy to see me when I would get home. And she always made me feel special. She was the best travel companion. I never had to worry about her getting out and running away. She was happy where she was. She had a good life until cancer got the best of her at the age of 13. You will be missed my friend…
Jake
This family member of ours was by far the best dog, in all ways, that weâve ever had. He was laid-back, loyal, loving; but it was his spirit that we loved to watch in action, as he was trying to catch a scent while on the hunt for birds. Weâve never seen a dog like Jake. We never lost a bird while we had him. At times, he would bring two birds back in his mouth, and softly drop them at our feet. He was devoted to those who loved him, and he certainly came alive and was at his best when he was hunting.
We were honored to have him as our devoted hunting partner and pet these past 11 years.
ShuShu
For 16+ years you were my best friend, my companion, the love of my life and my fur baby.
From the very first day you reached your tiny little paw through the adoption cage door to your very last breath on the morning of 4/20/19 you have been like a daughter to me.
Helping you cross that Rainbow Bridge was the hardest choice I ever had to make but I know it was the best choice for you.
I know you won’t be in pain anymore and you will be there when I pass one day.
I will miss how you were always at the door meowing and greeting me when I came home.
I’ll miss how you laid on me when I laid on the couch and sat on me when I was at the computer.
I’ll miss everything you did and I will of course miss your loud banshee meows as well.
I love you my sweet baby girl, please rest in peace and I will see you again one day.
Zurie
Our precious Zurie boy passed this past Tuesday. He was a chocolate cocker spaniel who was loved beyond measure. He came from Missouri so I named him Zurie. There will never be another dog like him!! I miss him so very much. Our home is not the same without him here. Tomorrow we travel to Heavenâs Rainbow Bridge to pick up our boy and bring him home. I am at a loss as I canât believe I will never see him again here on earth. He loved treats, his fur brother and sisters and our entire family. He had both of his back legs rebuilt with screws and bolts yet he kept on trucking along. I will always remember him running in our field prior to his 1st surgery. He is running in heaven and no longer in pain!
My Toby
My heart hurts so deeply. Last night â October 31, 2016 – at 11:55 p.m. my sweet buddyâs soul was released as his heart beat for the last time. He was in my arms surrounded by our endless love. Toby happened into my life 7 years ago and we loved each other fiercely from that first moment until his last faithful breath. I will love him and miss him forever. Toby suffered from a collapsed trachea and over the past few days, he was really struggling to breath. I know first-hand how that feels and we knew that the day was upon us that we would have to make the very hard decision to let him go. However, my loyal companion gave me the gift in the end by taking that journey without our interference. When it comes to fur-babies, he was one of the best. His spirit was unique and he will never be forgotten. In his short life, he lived big and brought me tremendous joy and wonderful memories. I know that he will be waiting for me â along with all of my previously departed fur-babies â when itâs my turn to take that journey. May you rest easy my sweet little boy. We love you, TobyâŚAlways.
Rudy
Sunday March 24th 2019, my dearest Great Dane Rudy left this earth. The day before his 4th birthday was the worst thing I have experienced, but before this day, Rudy lived a happy life with me. His favorite place was on the couch or next to me. Many nights he spent just going from couch to my bedside and back. He hated fireworks and thunderstorms. When those would start he would jump on our bed. Although he couldnât speak I believe he felt like he needed to protect me. We enjoyed walks in the park and our neighborhood. He had to have his daily lap time, and nightly bone. Like many Great Danes he enjoyed being lazy, but he sure was playful with his fellow dogs. My husband says he raised our two corgis which is completely true! He is the definition of gentle giant. The beginning of Rudyâs story was rough! Being the runt of his little the mother pushed him away, and when I found him he was very close to death, but with a lot of love and bottle feeding my Rudy came to life, full of energy and love to give. He would have never hurt a fly, literally. If a fly landed on him he wouldnât move a muscle to hurt it. He just let them do their thing and let them move on. Rudy might be gone from this earth physically, but he will forever reside in my heart. I will meet you at the Rainbow Bridge baby boy, and we will be together once again!
Cookie: My Sweet Girl đ
I was 5 when someone was trying to get rid of my soon to be baby. With my parents being divorced I was with my dad for the summers so I asked him to get this cute little chihuahua and he turned down the dog right away proceeding with the typical, â Ask your Mom.â Little did I know I would have to beg my mom ALL summer to get this dog who was âcute,barks, and just loves meâ and she was sold and allowed me to bring in my puppy from Cali to Texas! With great excitement I returned home with my baby and awaiting her was my other puppy Happy. We were all attached at the hip. Years go by and Happy sadly passes away, so itâs me and Cookie against the world, everyday we would wake up next to each other and fell asleep cuddled up together every night. Cookie was a spoiled brat, anywhere Iâd go she goes. The most loving puppy ever to say the least, she loved babies all the way to jumping into strangers arms to say hello. Cookie gave my family the best twelve years of our lives. She sadly left us March 30th 2019 and returned to heaven with her sister Happy. I know my babies are running around together. To my sweet girl Cookie, I miss you so much but I know youâre better, I hope you know how much you were truly loved by everyone.
