Dear Samantha,

A dream came true the day I hugged you for the first time, you marked the beginning of so many good things with a couple of bitten shoes...

I miss you and I am very sorry not being able to be with you in your last hours, even when you gave me every second of you existence...

I always thought you were going to pass away on my arms, knowing that I was there for you, I'm really sorry...

Silver eyes, golden heart, your brothers and sisters are still looking for you all around the house, both your mom and I love you so much...

I still don't have the huge house for you, I guess time ran out on us, I miss your fluffiness, and your never-ending hunger, to you goes all the fried chicken, burgers, pizzas and pork I'll ever have.

In tear I say see you soon, this is not a good bye, for you will always be a part of me...

I love you

P.D.

I hope you are happy where ever you are...

Missing You,

Mom and Dad

Dear Monster Pee Wee Posey,

Hello My Dear Sweet Saint, Words cannot tell you how much you are missed. The color left my world and only a shell of me remains without you. I try everyday because of you. HOW you Loved and Lived Life Inspires me. Always honoring God for your life.

I think back to the day that God led me to you in that horrible pet shop, so alone and abused. So tiny and yet a World of Love already waiting to give. You quickly became my reason to live again. You brought back Color and Love to my life. As time would march on, You opened so many doors of my heart and Soul that I had shut up and thought I would never open again. You were sent to me to remind me and re teach me the things I needed to live again. My walk with God, YOU and YOU alone re established. And how amazingly you did that. I saw an endless amount of Love and Compassion in You that would and could change anyone. Loverbug, Buster misses you. I am taking care of him for you. He will never forget You or Your Name.

I allowed you to live and enjoy things but I was irresponsible too. I simply just wanted you to be Happy in every way. Often forgetting the dangers of this world

Sweet Boy. I can't begin to tell you what I miss the Most because there was NO part of you that was common or simple. Every single day of your Amazing life, I told YOU how YOU simply "amazed" me. Your intelligence seemed to expand and to the point that You seemed to become the caregiver. There was NO creature Big or Small that You didn't love, have amazing compassion for and take responsibility for. I watched as all creatures wild and tame seemed to "Know" you too. You Garnered respect from so many things that I Thanked God everyday for allowing you to Share Your Amazing Life with me. I wondered what I did to deserve You and Your Love but It was something I needed rather than deserved. God knew that. I am humbled by YOU. I always was. NOTHING Can or will ever teach me what you did. You were not my Dog, but my Son and in so many ways, my "Compass". How you Took to and Comforted the sick people or sad people around you. You were so misunderstood because Creatures like you are so rare that people can be blind by nature. I will ALWAYS THANK GOD for our Walk together. I still wake up in the middle of the night and reach over to put my hand on you, YOU are NOT there. I wake up crying and everything is Brand New. The Pain, The Loss of something more than a companion but my Inspiration, my Reason to live, ALL of my Happiness and ALL of the innocence that came back into my heart like a child. GOD knows that you put an innocence back in me that we all loose as we grow up. You just filled so many shoes that boundaries became blurred and non existent. You were in many ways my Baby, My Child and yet, My Leader. My Admiration for you was limitless. You never belonged to me but was MY GIFT from God that simply Shared my Burdens. You had to bear the weight of my weaknesses in so many ways but You always ROSE to the Occasion. All I can do is spend hours on my Knees Thanking God for Appointing something so Great in my life. That is just the way you came to me. Even before you even weighed a pound, it was like you were on a mission and I recognized that. Not because I knew I needed it but because YOU showed me I needed it. The GIFT you gave me upon your departure was Just the way you Lived your Beautiful Life. Without that, I could not stand this pain. Thank God and Thank You my Sweet Saint. LOVE HAS NO END. Until God reunites us, I will simply exist. In God's Bosom REST. You Earned it Sweet Saint.

Love,

Eternally Your Soul Mate, Daddy

Dear Keltie,

I miss you so, so much. I can't even describe how much I miss you right now. I still feel bad about not getting out of the car. I should have said something to you, I'm SO sorry! I love you so much! I will never forget you. I hope to find some way to remember you, maybe in a song, or a poem, some way. We went up in the snow today, and all I could think of, was your love for the snow. I miss you so much, but you are always in my heart. I love you.

Peace,

Peyton

Dear Jaspurr,

What a delight and joy you’ve brought to us over our many years together. I know that your journey has taken you to a different place and we don’t have you with us physically to pet and snuggle, but in our hearts and in our minds you live with us every day.

I’ve seen you in moments when I’m sad or down and am reminded of you whenever the sun is upon my face. I take in the love that is all around us and remember your lessons of letting the happy times sink in. You never missed out on the sunrays, as they cascaded through the window, and I too love to have them upon me.

It is hard sometimes to feel that we did everything we could, but I never saw you afraid and you trusted me completely, as we and the veterinarian battled with the cancer that had taken hold of you.

I know you never gave up hope and that is what carried us three along. Hope. During our hard road that passed, hope was not something to ever feel guilty about. You taught me to always have hope and even in the end, you’d never regret having it. It gets you up in the morning and helps you face the lonely nights. Hope and Love. Thank you for these two most special lessons.

I always thought it was me trying to save you and bring you back to health, but in many ways it was you saving me. Saving me from being sad on hard days, and encouraging me to think in healthy ways about life. You taught me so much and I know that although your time here with us has ended, you will continue to teach me new lessons. Lessons of love and hope, as we continue to remember all that you are and have always been.

Jaspurr, we miss you every day in every way. You were our sweet little boy. I still see your adorable face in my mind. Your love was the purest form I have ever known. Daddy and I speak of you very frequently and share memories of you.

You made our lives better, richer and full of happiness. You made us better people just by knowing you.

With all our hearts we will always love you.

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Dear Bailey,

It is coming up to 22 months. 22 long, agonizing months since you ran away, disappeared into the air. I left you that morning with someone for the first time in the 3 1/2 years we were together and assumed without a doubt that you would be alright. I feel that it was just too stressful for you not knowing where I was and being in an unfamiliar place, so when you saw an opportunity to look for me or to get out of there, you took it. I haven't stopped looking for you. I hope you know that I think of you every single day and miss everything about you. The way you wiggled your butt to the way you shook your toys at your dish before you would eat and everything in between. The unconditional love you gave me every single day was more than I could ever have asked for and I so cherish the time we did have together. Not knowing what became of you has been the hardest reality I have ever faced and the guilt I feel can't be put into words. Every morning I wake up hoping that it was a bad dream, that you are still here. Thank you. Thank you for being my best friend and please know that if I could turn back the hands of time, I would do so in a heartbeat. The tears still flow daily and I don't know if they will ever stop or if I will ever get over this. I have all your toys and beds and will keep them with my memories...forever. I love you my little man and I will never forget you. They say that miracles happen so I wait by the phone every day for that call, saying you have been found. Never will I give up hope.

Love,

Stacey

Dear Ripkin,

I miss you every day. It has been a hard winter with out you -- xc skiing and walking alone, sheep chores with out my buddy, and lonely car rides up Maine. No one to greet me when I come home from work! No one to follow me around the house and yard. Richard misses you too. You touched many lives in your short life--the neighbors and local dogs were sad after you left us. Your pictures keep your memory going!..We wil be putting your ashes and Abbys up Maine in the garden for your memorial! So long Ripkin! RIP

Love,

Debbie and Richard

Dear Arfie boy,

I never imagined how many things I would miss about you. I miss the way your beady eyes twinkled at me. I miss kissing your velvety snout. I miss you following me to the fridge and dancing for a tiny morsel. For the last week, I have especially missed you keeping my legs warm at night.

Remember the times we spent at the Cove? You shocked me when you just jumped in the water after the mangrove pods and tried to bring them all back up on the beach to me. Then you took off after that flock of pelicans and I thought you were going to run forever!!! But you came right back to me, very pleased with yourself. I think that was your first time off your leash!

It was all downhill after that, huh? You learned to leave farm animals alone and come along on chores with me. You sniffed out armadillos and lizards, and prepared for your last years running the ranch with me. Oh you were such a young'un then, I wish we had spent more time in the mountains together when you could have *really* enjoyed it.

Everyone misses you Toad. You spread so much joy in not just my life, but also your doggie friends and any two leggeds you met. How many times did you make children laugh at you by throwing your toys around the room and inviting them to play? How many dogs and cats have been your best friends? How many humans have you completely WON OVER to the small dog side? Not just that, but how many anti-dog people did you totally convince that dogs really could be *good*?

I am so thankful you chose me as your special human. No matter how many times in 13 years you spread the trash all over the floor, or how much I spent on your health care, or how much it hurts to miss you right now, I am so glad to have shared over a decade of love with you. You will always always be in my heart, and I never want to forget the love you showed me every day of your life.

I hope you are enjoying your time as an angel, but do you think maybe you could send me another sweet boy soon to help me through the next couple decades?

Love,

Mommy

Dear Keltie,

I can't put into words how much I miss you. You were my first pet, and the 10 years I had you were the most wonderful. The last 2 months have been awful without you. I wish there was more I could have done. When I got the call that you most-likely wouldn't make it more than a week, I went in the bathroom and sobbed. I never guessed that I would never see you again. I simply went to bed. My mom woke me up the next morning, and said that you passed. I never got out of the car at your service, and I hope you forgive me. I don't know how much longer I can go without seeing your pretty little face. I hate Cancer, and always will. I hope you are happy up in Heaven. I can't wait to see you again.

Missing You,

Peyton

Dear Midnight,

I fell in love with you the moment I laid eyes on you. For over 13 years I was blessed to have you to play with, to hug, to kiss and to love. I'll forever be thankful for your presence in my life. Your love filled my soul with peace!

January 17, 2001 - January 22, 2014

Love,

Dad

Dear Morning Glory,

I love you so much! I miss you very much right now. I wish that we could be together. I'm so sorry I wasn't able to be with you when you passed away but I hope you knew that I loved you very much. I miss you!

Love,

Melanie
