Many moons ago you came to us with a hard past.
You where broken, scared of the broom,abandoned and rejected.
Suffered so much with the fear of being abandoned! I made a
promise I whispered in your ear I will would never leave your
side and be there till the end! So much of your pain I felt yet
You where SO HAPPY to be with us!You where FINALLY home! You
where always in competition with Daddy on who got to sleep next
to Mommy. I knew when I first laid eyes on you You where meant
to be our child. God sent you into our life and you brought such
joy in our lives! Always so happy full of joy and spunk. You
where the Alpha Dog and made sure eveyone knew you owned the
world! Your favorite place was the backyard Oh how you loved the
first signs of spring and all the little squirrels and rabbits
would come into our yard you would chase them away such a
sniffer you where! Summers where of joy and laughter as you
jumped at fireflies and thought you could fly. Mommey always had
to hide the toilet paper as you would always sneek a roll for a
no no off limits snack! We sat many of times by the outdoor
fireplace enjoying the passing of time and seasons. You where
always so happy with each season and especially when spring
would come You would happily do your doggy dance to go for a
walk in the park. One year you hurt your back and though we
would loose you then but you pulled it out again and then hurt
it a second time. Each time you where victorious and God blessed
your little long doxie sausage body. In knew in my heart as the
years passed that this dreaded day would come that we would say
goodbye and I saw you slow down when you no longer chased the
squirrels or the rabbits or jumped at fireflies in the
summers.Yet you never lost your joy and exuberance for life. You
got weaker and weaker and your legs started to give out till you
could no longer hold yourself up. I wept profusly for I knew the
day had come when we had to say "Goodbye" again I promised I
will never leave you and Mommy is here till the very end. I wept
so hard for you my son as I carried you to the vet. It was even
then on a warm spring day you where insisting to go for a walk
still so happy! I wept even harder I felt like I was a traiter
for I knew this was Goodbye. I waited with you when they gave
you a sedetive I prayed and waited yet,,it was as if you somehow
knew soon you would be in heaven. As a heavenly peace settled in
the room I told you to go and be with the Lord for He created
you to be such a blessing in our lives. Once the final needle
was inserted I held you and wept. I knew your time on earth was
up. I want to thank You my sweet one and dear son Wilber I will
see you on the other side never again to part where you are once
again young as a puppy and never grow old again! We miss you so
dearly Yet we know you are in heaven and we will never forget
what a sweet blessing you where to us and everyone you would
meet!! Mommy Daddy and sister Cassie
Willie Battles, 1993 - January 5. 2012
Willie was the devoted and beloved companion and
friend to Mike and Heather Battles. A Yorkie of small stature
and enormous personality, Willie had a great impact on all those
that knew him, and knew of him. He was a rock to lean on in hard
times and a partner to celebrate the joyous times. Willie lived
a long life and in the last years met the medical challenges of
his small, aging frame with courage and dignity. He was stoic
until the end earning his well-deserved peaceful slumber, safe
in the knowledge that he made such a difference in the lives of
those that loved him. He will never be forgotten.
They say that "cowgirls" are God's wildest angels, and my sweet Winnie proved this quite well during her lifetime. Although she never worked on a ranch formally, pushing cattle or sheep for her kibble, her greatest job was always loving and protecting me. She chose me when she was just six weeks old, and I am grateful for every moment of the 12 years we had together.
As a writer, I find myself paralyzed at a moment like this. As cliche as it is, there truly are no words to properly capture the love, the closeness, the bond between this sweet, brave, energetic dog and myself.
But truly, brevity does not in any equate to the depth of my love for her, or the monumental sense of loss. In fact, quite the opposite. My inability to write goes to show how inexplicably deep our connection has always been.
Thank you for being my faithful, happy, loving, intelligent, sensitive, funny, glorious companion, my sweet girl.
Mommy loves you, with all her heart, and will
continue to love you forever. My only consolation for now is
looking forward to our reunion some day. It cannot come soon
enough...
My sweet girl just passed away this morning...I
miss her terribly and my heart is breaking. She was the sweetest
and most loving girl. She took a piece of my heart with her and
I don't know if I will recover from this. I pray the good Lord
will help me...I know I can't do it alone...I love you and miss
you my lovie..my Winnie girl

Woodruff Tepper - The best dog we could have ever hoped to have. He was handsome, loyal, loving, gentle, and protective. His presence will always be missed as he was the dog of a lifetime and a key member of our family. Woodruff will always be in our hearts as our bond is strong and can never be replaced.
We brought you home when you were 12 weeks old and we could hold you in the palms of our hands. 16.5 years have gone by and now our hands are empty.
I remember so vividly when you got your name my
beloved. You were just a little kitten who always hid while I
was gone. When I came home I asked-"Where is he, where is he?"
You came out of your hiding places and playfully came to me.
Thinking that 'where is he' was a bit of a strain I just
said-Wurzee and the name fit your crazy, cool personality. You
gave me so much love.
You were my little Buddha cat. So mellow as you aged, so loving,
so friendly, so spiritual. You became my soul mate and you
became so much a part of me. And that part is physically gone
now. But alas I feel you in my heart and soul in so many ways. I
miss your presence so much my baba. But I know you are now
healthy and young again on the other side of Rainbow Bridge. I
love you my darling Wurz.
