For pet names beginning with "E".
Earnhardt, June 2001 - November 19,
2013 
Earnhardt, the only way to describe you is my little
buddy. No one ever believes me, but you could actually say
your name when called, will never forget that "Err hart" meow
you would make. And boy, were you ever the little food
miser, I remember when you were just a kitten how you snuck up
on my plate and stole a whole steak! And always there in
the morning to pat my cheek to let me know it was time get up
and feed you...lol. So many memories.
It was so hard watching you go down. But through it all,
you never, ever lost your personality. Even this morning,
when I knew today was the day, I heard you trying to jump up on
the bed to get me up. And you didn't quit until you made
it. But I knew it was time the night before last when you
had a hard time just holding you head up. And you let me
know it was time when you climbed your way onto the bed and
slept right beside me, something you NEVER did before.
Gonna miss you little buddy. Today was one of the hardest
decisions of my life. But I couldn't just watch you waste
away to nothing. Your whole quality of life had left, even
had to force yourself to try to meow. I knew it was time,
but that still doesn't make it any easier. Now, you are
with your sister Jewels, and once I have your ashes back, will
be buried right beside her.
Until I see you again at the Bridge, RIP, my friend.
Things won't be the same around here without you.
Dad

My Dearest Ebony (my baby girl, my little girl, my precious
Angel),
I'm sooooooooo lost right now and in shock of losing you!!
Grandma and I don't understand what happened. You were
fine and now you're gone! It doesn't make sense, but we
will pray for God's grace and peace to help us through this
unimaginable time!
This is what I know now and FOREVER!! You were my joy, my
life, my everything! You are my precious little
girl, so sweet, almost human like. A little black ball of
fur at 2 months old. Getting your first and only
chiropractic adjustment at that time and you were so good
then. You were always a good girl!! Sharing my
first apartment with you, after the loss of Marlowe, My
son! You filled my heart again, when I didn't think
possible after losing Marlowe! You made me open and
love again. I hated having to leave you to go to
work. I can still remember seeing that tiny angel in
the bathroom, behind the gate, climbing up and trying to get
out. Calling for Mama!! I'd pick you up and you'd
touch my face with your paw and it was like that ever
since. That connection you and I had....SPECIAL THAT
NO ONE COULD TOUCH!! You were my first female dog, a
gift from Uncle Michael. He loves you so. The
whole family loves you so much!!! I wasn’t
sure how to deal with a female dog, but we were a team and we
learned together!! I will miss how much you loved
playing in the snow and that and all my precious memories of you
will never, ever be forgotten! I don't know how to
get past this because it was SUDDEN!! I didn't expect to
lose you and so young!! I can't wrap my head around
it! How do I go on without seeing that sweet,
beautiful face, without touching you, smelling you, laying with
you, snuggling with you? YOU ARE SOOOO
GOOD!! You took a lot of crap living with 2 other
dogs, males no less. Bosco your older brother, he's a gem
and loves you and you and him will always have that beautiful
connection. You were 2 peas in a pod for a while
until Barney came along. Sweet looking, but a devil in
disguise. He would torture you, he's thinking he's
playing, but you would set him straight when enough was
enough. I’d say, “get him” and you’d hop after
him, while your little ears would bop up and down. So
funny and so uniquely YOU! Losing Marlowe was pure
devastation to me because I never put a timeframe on my animal’s
lives, so losing him was shocking because I wasn't
prepared. But we knew he was sick with his cancerous
tumors, but you didn't have this. As far as we all knew,
you were healthy. Grandma and I never thought in a million
years we would no longer have you! Yes I was shocked
and devastated with Marlowe, but you it's 10x worse because I
never expected this to happen! It wasn't supposed to
happen! You went to the doctor last week and you were
fine. How did it go bad so quickly and
WHY?!?!?! You were taken from me, from us!
Where is the sense in that?!?!?! I’ve learned one thing
and that is the painful realization that you are never prepared
for something like this. For losing a pet that was (is)
your "Child"!
Your life will not be in vain; I will try and understand what
happened here and celebrate YOU and the joy you gave
everyday! Your pure heart and soul will forever be with me
and Grandma and Uncle Michael and the whole family!
I know through the years you got closer to Grandma and she is
going to miss that, miss you. She’s told me
so! She will miss most of all you sleeping with her.
You had your very own pillow, which I now sleep on every
night. I long to smell your fur, hoping I’d be able
to. I hold the Red pillow that you last laid your
head on and hold your picture and a piece of your fur close to
my heart!! I hope you feel my LOVE FOR YOU. It's so big,
bigger than us all! As Grandma said, and I understand, you
are at peace and no longer in pain! That matters
more than anything to me and Grandma! I know you
were taken too soon and you should be here with us right
now! Me, Uncle Michael, and Grandma pray for you
every night and pray to all that we’ve lost before you to find
you and watch over you. I know you’re with Marlowe,
Ben, Talon, Roxie, Gizmo, George, Freddy, Casper, Sunny, Nana,
Papa, Uncle Jim, Aunt Jackie, Bobby and they’re all taking good
care of you! I hope you felt that I was a good Mommy
and I took good care of you! I want more than
anything for you not to be gone and I hope you know how truly
LOVED YOU WERE (ARE) BY ME AND YOUR FAMILY and that will never,
ever change! You will always be everything to
me! My heart is yours, my sweet, sweet baby girl
Ebony!! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL THAT I AM AND THAT WILL
NEVER DIE….ALWAYS REMAIN NOW AND FOREVER!!
I miss you DESPERATELY, it hurts so much!!
Love, love, love you ALWAYS,
YOUR MOMMY (MAMA) DANIELLE, ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!

Emma, 11.07.1998 -

To My Friends,
I have been out of contact for a while. It's not personal. But I
guess by the subject you can tell what the problem was. Emma,
was my sweetest and most loving companion for the past 16 years
left today. Our Birthdays were coincidentally on the same day.
Her head and heart were fine-we played-even though she couldn't
walk right until our last night.I got here all her favorite
foods and slept with her on the floor of my living room for the
last three days. Laughing with her, petting her and carrying her
to and from the house. She tried so hard to walk - especially on
her last morning walk.
I will miss her deeply - I held her as she sighed her last
breath. You could say, well she was only a dog but she was never
that to me. Always there, never judging sometimes ignored and
sometimes yelled at but always showed love in return. My last
two were Buff (17) and Missy (19) but they were shared by my
families. Emma was only and always just mine.We were together as
I was with Buff and Missy. She will be back. Her soul is here in
my heart.If you had the pleasure of knowing Emma even a little
bit you know what a wonderful soul she is and will always be.
Thanks to all my friends who shared my loss. Love - Paul
Esme, 08/08/98 - 5/5/13
My little Esme, you are such an amazing spirit. In spite of
your blindness, you were one of the happiest dogs I've ever known.
You've only been gone one day and I miss you so much. We will be
together again one day. I love you and miss you.
Love mommie
