Sweet Coco,
I came home today and looked around for you. I don't know when or if I'll stop doing that.It seems so empty here without you because you were such a big part of my life .I don't know how to fill the empty place in my life where you were
I miss you
Jon
Love,

My sweet Little Bodie Boy,
You left us just yesterday and I can’t believe the pain I am in. How can one small soul bring so much joy, love and hope into a home.
You arrived just before covid and kept your papa and I laughing through it all. You were our rock and salvation.
The many hours of antics gave us so much joy. You followed me everywhere and when I was away you moped at the window till I came home.
How can you be gone so soon? I remember when you brought me this flower when we were sitting on the deck. You brought many things for treats and I loved every minute.
What makes it so much more difficult is that your death should have been prevented. My grieving is bone deep and I will miss you till I leave this earth.
I love you with all my being. Rest well my sweetheart till we meet again.
Love,
Mom
My sweet Skipper,
Skipper, you have so given us much love, joy, happiness and a purpose every day. You were way too young, at just 6 years to have your life end. You were so brave until the last moment. You now have two sets of wings because you deserve them. We are sending you all our love and know we will miss you the rest of our lives.
Mom and Dad
Love,
Mom and Dad
My sweet Tinker,
It's hard to put into words how much you mean to me and how deeply I feel your absence. From the moment you came into my life, you brought an abundance of love, joy, and companionship that I will cherish forever. You were so much more than a pet; you were my best friend, my confidant, and my constant source of comfort.
I'll never forget how you would love to follow me around, and sleep in my office as I work. Your need to always ruffle the covers at the end of the bed, is missed. You had unconditional love, playful energy and the way you would comfort me during my health crisis over the last few years. You made each and everyday brighter, even on my darkest days.
Thank you for the love and happiness you shared so freely, for being by my side through it all. and for teaching me what unconditional love truly looks like. I hope you knew how much you were loved and how special you will always be to me.
Although my heart aches without you here. I find peace knowing you are at rest, free from pain. I will carry you with me always-in my thoughts, in my heart, and in the countless beautiful memories we shared.
I miss you more than words can express and tears that I can spill but I'm forever grateful for the time we had together. REST EASY , my sweet Tinker. You'll always be my beloved companion.
Love,
your Mom Brandy
My sweet Kali,
It’s been 3 months without you sweet girl. My life hasn’t been the same since I lost you. Not a single day has passed where you haven’t crossed my mind. You were the biggest comfort in my life the past 8 years and I hate that you were taken so soon. You were my first baby and best friend through so many moments in my life. I don’t think I’ll ever stop thinking about your silly ways and cuteness:
Love always,
RLC
My dearest Delvie, my soulmate, my best friend.,
Dear Delvie,
I remember all 14 years we spent together watching each other grow up, grow into adulthood and for you seniority.
You always filled the house with your miauwing, your unrequited love, without judgment always.
Today I held you for hours while we had to sleep you in because you had a rare type of cancer syndrome, you were hurting and I didn't want that for you.
I miss you, lots, I hope you know that.
I love you and I hope you'll be happy and without pain for the next years in cat heaven until I can hold you again.
I love you so much.
Your best friend,
Lieke
Love always,
Lieke
Sweet Bailey,
It hasn’t even been 24 hours without you and it already feels like an eternity. It was absolute love at first sight when I met you. I just knew we were going to be inseparable.
You have brought so much light and love to our family and I can’t thank you enough for that. You were beautiful inside and out with your movie star looks.
You’ve been there for our tears, and our laughs. You’d force your face on mine when I cried because you didn’t want me sad. It was an absolute honor to be your sister and I’m so grateful for that. You are my best friend and I just know one day we will be reunited again. I love you brother.
Love always,
Sister
Dear Dear Sweet Coco a.k.a Puffy Putt, Cocoa Puff, Stinky,,
Today, October 28, 2024 is the first morning in nearly 16 years without you. No jingle of your collar as you stretch and shake after waking from your slumber, no toenails clicking on the hardwood floor. I’m struggling with my grief and the tears don’t seem to know when to stop.
I’m in bed now, drinking coffee and remembering the mornings when you would lay on my chest and wait for your back rub. You’d close your eyes and softly groan when I massaged your shoulders and paw at me when I’d stop to take a sip of my then lukewarm coffee. It was a daily ritual that I will sorely miss.
I’m drinking coffee alone today. The French doors in my bedroom are open and my gaze has fallen to the courtyard table where our family held you for the last time. I may have to sell that table because the sight of it is too heart-wrenching for me to bear.
I’ve had many pets…the Heidis, Sophie, Pepper, Sprinkles, Rudy…all of whom I’ve said tearful goodbyes. But you Coco were the hardest to let go.
Your little body was failing to keep up with your spirit. You’d lost your sight, your hearing, and I could see that walking and getting up and down were becoming more and more difficult for you. Still, I saw your tail wagging and you still gave away plenty of stinky kisses when I nuzzled my cheek next to your little brown nose. You still never turned down a treat of popcorn (buttered, of course) or sliced apples, or bits of hamburger stirred into that awful kidney diet kibble the vet prescribed. But I had to carry you to your food bowl, and carry you outside and I realized that wasn’t really a very dignified way for you to be living.
Your last day was a good one. The fall weather in Boise was glorious and we took you for a walk along the river. You did well for a little while, stopping to sniff and mark your “Coco was here” spots. But soon we had to carry you, dad and I taking turns. Afterward we treated you to a whipped cream pup cup and a few licks of ice cream.
We took some photos that day. I can’t bear to look at them just yet. Kelly Ann made paw print ornaments that we’ll forever put on our Christmas trees, and I have your collar – all these things are reminders of you but they aren’t you and they can never replace your warm, fluffy body.
I miss you terribly Coco. I loved – love you so much and I pray to God that your are still with me somehow. You will never be forgotten.
Love,
Your Mom
Dear Kona,
I truly thought you’d be with us forever.
I know that sounds odd coming from a clear-eyed, level-headed, down-to-earth human like me, but when we welcomed you into our home as an energetic adolescent, it felt as if we’d have all the playtime in the world. You would never end. We would never end. Our bond would never end.
I picked up your ashes this morning. You’re safely home with us again. And I’m writing to tell you that my crazy idea of being together forever isn’t so crazy after all: I worked it out so our ashes will someday be together. This time, forever.
This comforts my heart, and brings me peace.
But I so miss you right now.
Love always,
Rich
My sweet Patches,
Mommy misses you terribly! You were a great companion for 17 years. I was glad to get a chance to say goodbye to you and hold you one last time before they put you to sleep. I wish I could taking that cancerous mess on your jaw away so you wouldn't have had to go to sleep. I know you're in a better place playing in the middle on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. I think of you all the time.
Love,
Jerri
