Little Dillyboy,

My tears flow freely as I try to put these feelings into words. Oh my sweet little Dillyboy, you were my constant source of joy and comfort. I miss how, no matter where I chose to sit, whether in a chair or down on the floor, you would instantly find your way into my lap. It feels impossible that your vibrant spirit is now a memory. I often wondered how such a small body could contain a heart so incredibly vast.

The footprint you left on my life is permanent. Because of you, I am changed. You loved me fiercely and always. You guided me to become a much, much better person, softening my edges and making me far more compassionate. Most of all, you gave me a beautiful sense of purpose. You may be gone from my sight, Dillyboy, but your love remains my guiding light.

I love you so much Dilly. My arms ache for you.

Thank you Dillyboy.

Run happy, healthy and free my boy.

Love,

Your Klara.

My sweet Beanie ,

You came at the perfect time in my life. I was going through such a rough time mentally, but somehow, you were able to help me work through those emotions. You were there when I needed someone to listen to what was going through my mind or when I just needed a reason to smile. You were there when I doubted myself. You were there when I wanted to give up on everything. But most of all, you were there when I needed someone to love me unconditionally. I’m so sorry I couldn’t have done more for you. I’m so sorry if you spent the last few hours you had suffering. I’m so sorry that I didn’t tell you how much I love you before I had to let you go. You were the best thing to ever happen to me and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to love a pet or a person, as much as I love you. I hope that one day we’ll see each other again in a sunny field, sharing a large plate of watermelon together. You will always be in my heart

Love always,

Amanda

My sweet Lil Rocco,

I don't think there is a word to describe the pain I feel following your passing. It's been about 24 hours since you left and the agony I feel has settled deep in my bones. Everything hurts. Yesterday, I watched your eyes dim and your soul leave and you took part of my soul with you when you crossed over. I don't know how to do life without you. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life without you. 12 years was not enough. Now I'm left with pictures and videos of you, 12 years of memories in my camera roll and embedded in my heart. I wish we had eternity, Lil and even still that would not be long enough. I wanted a pug from the time I was a little girl and you were my dream come true. Yours was a life well lived, you made us so happy, and if a dog's only duty is just be the best friend their human could ever ask for, you fulfilled your mission to the fullest. I thank God for sending you into my orbit and making the stars align perfectly for us to meet that faithful day. My craigslist pup that I prayed for. We will meet again in the hereafter, our spirits will always be connected and I will look for you everywhere till we find each other once more. Thank you for being my heart dog, Lil.

I love you. I will love you forever.

Love,

Mommy

Little Zelda,

My little friend who gave me so much love and waited at the door for me every day, I miss you. I see you in every cat I meet and the love I still have for you goes out to all of them and so you stay with me. What luck to have known you. Thank you, Mademoizelda.

Love,

Siri

My sweet Bella,

I'm gonna miss you girl.

My mother drove 2 hours to pick you up.

They were going to put you to sleep, but my mom said "WE'LL TAKE HER" and drove down the next day.

Apparently you had "behavior issues" and were "too loud".

I was disgusted that anyone would send back such a beautiful soul.

From that moment I made a permanent decision to NEVER abandon you, NEVER give up on you.

I trained you

I brought you on hikes

I brought you camping

I brought you for EVERY car ride I could possibly bring you

You gave me this purpose... this light... that only unconditional love can offer.

When we first met, I was swallowed by rumination and starved of hope.

You showed me unconditional love every day.

YOU CURED ME, BELLA.

Because of you I turned toward the light, and the light returned to my life.

You found me in the tunnel and led me back to the world.

I will always love and respect you more than anything else on this planet.

I love you Bella. Always have. Always will. Thank you forever.

See you in the next life.

Love,

Brian F

My sweet Rex,

I am going to miss you little buddy. The snuggles in bed and maybe a bite of a twinkie 😁 when mama wasn't watching.

I love you so much and miss you like crazy. I won't be the same until I can hold you, Daisy and Django again. Keep running and playing till I get there. Be waiting for me when my time comes. We are going to play forever. I'm bringing some snacks and everyone a new toy.

Its the little things that break my heart over and over each day. Not seeing you at the door when I get home hits me hard. Not being able to cuddle you at night in the bed is hard too. I love you and always remember you are the best boy in the world. I love you!

Love,

Dad

Sweet Chloe,

My sweet Chloe,

Everyone who knew you loved you - the sweetest, most gentle, mellow, and loving doggy. Not a single day will go by where I won’t miss you. I’ll forever cherish all of the memories with you. You have gotten me through some of the worst times of my life. You were also there for some of my best. You changed my life and so many others.

I hope you’re getting unlimited pets and chicken treats in doggy heaven. You will forever be my best friend 🤍

Love,

Your mom, Auva

My dearest Kissy,

Tomorrow will be one week since you passed. In all 28 years we were together, we were never apart a full 24 hrs. I am devastated. This separation is too painful. I don't know how to begin the day, how to end the day because it always began and ended with being with you. Not having a place set at the table for you causes an emptiness I cannot describe.

I always always feared losing you. But I could never imagine this. My world has gone dark. Now I too perfectly understand the inscription I saw at the pet cemetery. It best expresses your presence in my life: "He was not the sunrise. He was not the sunset. He was the sun."

I would relive every painful moment in my life to relive those 28 years we had together. Till we meet again, play with the angels. Be blessed by St. Francis and St. Therese. I ADORE YOU, LITTLE BIRD!

Love,

Cathy - Big Bird

My sweet Blueberry Boy,

To my sweetest Blueberry Boy aka Blu, Blue B, Blueberry, Blues Brothers 2000, Blueberries for

Sal, Flippy Bear-

I can’t believe you’re gone. You, who found us, who filled our days and nights with more love

and humor and snuggles and laughter than I could have imagined. You, who by coming into our

lives, effortlessly made us a family. Blu- you were my soul kitty- from the moment you put your

paw on my hand, to the last time- the first time you fell asleep on me and your head fell onto my

chest, to that very last time, when you went to sleep with your head in my hand. You were my

best friend and the most loyal companion I could have imagined. I didn’t deserve you, but I will

forever feel like it was fate that brought us together and am so unimaginably grateful to have

known you.

Everyday my world is less than, there is less love, and less smiles, less light. Everywhere I look-

I see you. I thought we would have so much more time. That Gwenie would grow up with the

world's best, most protective kitty. That we would all be a family for years and years to come.

You kept me safe at night while Erik was working, you followed us on walks and hopped into our

cars when we got home from work. You stopped us from fighting and tried to get the baby to

stop crying. You brought us the GP. You made it that I never felt alone, because I wasn’t.

Nestled in the crook of my arm was always you. Crouched by the back down, was always you.

Running to the car when I pulled up, was always you. Looking up to make sure I looked you

directly in the eyes and shook your food bowl before you could eat, was always you.

I’m so sorry you got sick. I’m so sorry I didn’t notice until it was too late. I’m so sorry I couldn’t

save you. I hope we did the right thing, but I couldn’t watch you suffer anymore. If love and

sheer wanting was enough, I would have. I’m so sorry I left you for so long – and that your world

with the baby was so different. I hope you knew how loved you were, how much I missed you

while I was in the hospital. How important you were and are to me, to all of us.

You have marked my life. And we will tell legends of you in our family for as long as I’m around.

I miss you more than I could ever put into words. I want you back. I want you here. I can’t

believe you’re gone. The world doesn’t know what it lost when you left. But there will forever for

me be before and after. You will be missed forever and loved forever.

Always yours,

Mama

Love always,

Mama

My sweet Finn,

I miss the way you made us laugh every day, and how you filled my life with lightness and so much love. You were the silliest, sweetest, and most funny boy and I miss you every second of every day. Thank you for living so much life with us, and I will never ever forget you. We love you always.

Love,

Tori
