Year 2010 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "V".

My Precious Vader, You will be missed.  
Thank you for being our family's guardian, and a fine guardian you were. And yet you were so loving and loyal when it came to being our family pet. I love you Vader, stay with my dad until I can come and get you from the Rainbow Bridge and never be separated again!

My beloved Val.

We had to let you go to the Rainbow Bridge on Sunday, November 28, 2010. You were sick, not even yourself anymore. We had to do what was right for you even if it was not what I wanted at all, I needed/wanted more time with you.

I had 10 wonderful years with you, you were truly the “light” of my life, I could not even imagine loving anyone more than you. You were the best little girl ever!

Those last 24 hours were so tough on you and your little body, I pray you know I did all I could to make you as comfortable as I could.

Please know no matter how sick you were, I never stopped loving you and never will.

I pray that you are with your brother Dooley now and the two of you are happy, healthy, lying in the sun and loving life. I know you both will always be watching down on us.

I love you my dear Val, forever – please never forget that.

Your mommy

Valentina..

You were my rock, my soulmate, my friend and confident.

I know you are in a better place, I know it was your time to go, 15 1/2 years went by so fast.

I think of the days we spent together at the beach, going to work, moving to a different country, exploring new places, and we share it all through the years: for better, for worse, rich or poor, in sickness and health..we share it all.

I miss you soo much.  
I miss kissing your nose, petting your sweet face and just laying with you for a chat.

My Valentina, just wait for me there. Mommy will be there in a sec. I always come back to you.

To our Dear Beloved Valentino,
You had the bravest heart. We will so miss you.
All our love forever,
Sandie, Kyle, Coal and Chili Bean

JP ANN I AM SENDING YOU A SIGHT.
IT HELPED ME SO MUICH

Aloha oe my sweet gentle boy. It was my lucky day to pick up the newspaper and see your smiling face as that weeks adoptable dog. After meeting you at the Kauai Humane Society I couldn’t understand why someone would want to give up a wonderful friend like you, but I didn’t care. You came home with me that day and both our lives were the better for it.

You were a wonderful addition to our little pack. In no time at all your sweet disposition stole everyone’s heart, even cantankerous Mojo the cat.

I loved to watch you chase the egrets and wild chickens. Heaven knows what you would have done had you actually caught one, but I think you really just loved the chase.

It pained me when you lost an eye, but you just went on like it made no difference, and I really don’t think it did.

Right up until you crossed the Bridge you showed what a dignified and gentle soul you were. Bob, Nella, Mojo, Mama and I all miss you terribly. There’s a big empty space in our hearts and home that will never be filled. We’ll always love and miss you big guy.

Aloha oe,
Papa, Mama, Bob, Nella and Mojo

Victor...how I miss you my boy. You such a great companion from you pleasant demeanor to your "Alfred Hitchcock" side stares. I wished I had found out earlier that your cyst was in your throat. I know you do not blame me, but I do.

I hope you are happy and running with Ginger, Charlie and Pokey. Maybe even Chloe is there to rub your shoulders.

I will see you...but not for a long time.

Voo you were certainly one of a kind. I could tell from the moment we saw you in your little pen crying because you were all by yourself because all your siblings had been adopted out. You were so lonely you'd somehow managed to scale the wall and sleep next door with the baby bunnies. When you saw us you face planted into the wall trying to jump on us. How can anyone not adopt you after that? In the months that followed you showed everyone such affection, demanding 'boo hugs' and 'boo times' you even showed the same open affection to the two other tuxedo cats we would adopt later on in the year. I loved our games of tossing tiny trash balls for you to chase and bring back, or toss over your head so you'd preform amazing flips that everyone loved to watch.

Me and Jay will never forget the good times, though short, we were able to share with you. And even though I know Jay was your best buddy in the whole world, I know you loved me and everyone else just as much.

You put up a great fight when you were diagnosed with cancer. That last week we were able to give you a few more cuddles and listen to you ask boo questions. I'm not sure if you could feel us next to you in your last moments. But me and Jay were there sitting with you telling you it was okay to go. We built a cool monument in the back for you because you deserved something awesome like that. The house feels quite empty with out you. Me and Jay are trying to move on with the fact you are no longer there to ask for boo hugs or cuddles. You were the prince in our household and hearts and nothing will ever change that, not time nor years.

We love you Voo cat. Please say hi to Siegfried for me when you see him I still miss him. Life was unfair to you both but I hope that we gave you crazy cats the unquestionable love and good life you both were so deserving of. Thank you for the wonderful memories you left us.
