Daisy, October
2001 - March 22, 2018 
My beloved beagle Daisy passed away on Thursday night. She
was going to be 17 this year. I loved her more than
anything. I miss her presence so much. She was my best
friend. There will never be another like her. I wish I
could pick her up one more time and hold her and tell her what a
good girl she is. I love you Daisy. I'll always
remember you. You'll always be my beagle

Dearest Sweet Daisy-bear bear: You are our beautiful, gentle
loving angel, descended from heaven, who has touched our lives in
ways that no human ever has or ever could. Your sweet loving
nature, gentleness,healing kindness, selflessness, beauty and
grace has blessed our lives for 11 years and 5 months. We can't
believe you are not here with us right now. Our sadness is deep
and profound. You were our little daughter and brought so much
overwhelming joy and happiness every single day into our lives
while you were on this earth. How can we ever thank you for always
being there for us all the time, no matter what. The way you would
come over to me and lay your head on my lap to calm me brought me
such tremendous peace and comfort that I can't define how your
healing powers touched my very soul. Our walks together were so
wonderful, as we watched you sniff and sniff the world around you
with your amazing senses. We loved watching you run so fast along
the beach of the LI Sound and CT River and bark at the waves, run
circles so fast in the yard you're eyes would disappear in your
head, swim and roll in the sand and dirt. how you threw up sticks,
did happy scratchies, and puppy angels in the snow. Your are all
love my sweetheart, pure as a child's love, unconditional,
constant, eternal. Now you are with Gingie, and loving life our
little blessing. Be with God. We will pray for you always and miss
you terribly.

Daisy we saw you and ur siblings on the website
Mutts and More adoption site we drive out that week and looked
at u and ur siblings Billy and Cote were young and when Bill
and I saw you and your big brown eyes and white around both eyes
we knew u we're the one so that day we took u home you were always
a laid back and loved us unconditionally u never chewed anything u
favorite thing u loved to do is be outside in the grass and fresh
air we never had to worry about you running away You watched Billy
and Cote walking to the end of the driveway everyday since they
they went to school and watched them get on the bus and off
everyday since they they went to school and graduated you
were always sitting in the grass loving the yard laying around i
stole our hearts and we loved every day with you then after 12
years u started to have trouble get up and walking so I helped u
outside and we sit and when it was time to come in I carried you
up the steps and laid with u on the floor you looked at me
that mo rning and for weeks Bill and Cote knew after
visiting u since u were having issues with you getting old
for a medium dog u lived and was loved taking our hearts and we
all knew it was time so on November 7th 2018 we all took u to the
vet to stop the pain and it was the hardest and painful thing we
had to do is say and hold u crying uncontrollable while we said
good bye in body not memories and in the heart and soul we laid u
to rest were you can been seen and we know everytime we walk by we
see u and nice flowers in summer and fall will be planted in your
memory We love you always best friend Daisydoo till we meet

This is in memory of my beloved malamute, ,I adopted my sweet
furbaby from pet smart 1-2009 I think the date is right,,when i
seen him i had them get him out of the cage and he leanes right up
next to me ,,he picked me,,I had lost my little girl furbaby and
even though you can'take replace one with another,,but in time you
can love the new one just as much ,,they all have their different
and special ways,,my kokie as I called him was the sweetest
buddy,,never growled or tried to bite us,,always loved everybody
,,always he liked for me to pull on his ears,,I used to walk him
at South mountain trails all the time,,he loved getting in the
creek ,,loved it,,and when I seen him getting up slow I knew he
was getting arthritis I quit taking him to climb trails, but took
him to get in the creeks..I would let my buddy come in every
morning and lay around,,I admit I gave him to many treats,,but
it's hard not to spoil them,,we are so heart broken right now and
feel a emptiness, ,driving up and not see my buddy,,because when I
did drive up I would jump out and holler for my kokie and I would
smile and be so pleased when he came running,,or hear that little
half howl he would give us,,he loved his dog ice cream,,would give
us five for it,,oh how our hearts hurt,,losing our buddy,,but that
which gives you pleasure on earth ,you will have in heaven and not
counting my human loved ones I have lost,,we have 5 furbuddies and
5 birds who will be greeting us one day,,what a joyous reunion it
will be,,so this is for you our sweet buddy,,you took a piece of
our hearts when you left,,we will miss you soo much,,and the yard
and house will never be the same,,kesha misses you to,,like Emily
Lou Harris said,,dogs only fault, they don't live long enough,,we
love you our sweet kokie, ,always in our hearts and will always be
on our minds,,,your momma, ,daddy,,kesha,,and sasha

Daryl, September
25th 2014 - November 16th 2018
To my precious Daryl Baby:
I have lost soo many pets in my lifetime, and each one of them
hold a special place in my heart, no matter how much time has
passed. I have posted tributes to your ancestors, who were so
precious to me, and each of their losses affected me deeply. Like
I said, I've had many pets, most of them guinea pigs, like you,
but every now and then, there's a very special piggy, one that
stands out from the others, one that has a look, and personality
that's different, and special, like your grandpa, Ben. When he
passed on, I was devastated and heartbroken. I had other piggys,
but I didn't have the kind of bond with any of them that I had
with Ben, so, I went to the pet shop, and found a pretty girl for
your daddy, (her name was Paisley) and I brought her home, and she
& your daddy (Hurley) got married, and made YOU! From the day
you were born, you were a blessing of joy from God above! And a
reminder of my precious Ben, and how he was still alive in YOU! I
named you Daryl, after my favorite character from The Walking
Dead, and you were such a blessing to me for 4 years! And I think
you should have had more time on Earth, but....God calls the
shots. And one day, you got sick, and stopped eating and drinking,
and from past experiences, I unfortunately know what that means.
But, I wanted to believe that there was still a chance, and I took
you to the vet, and I gave you the medication, and did everything
he told me to do, but you just weren't getting any better. At
around 3 am, on Friday morning, the 16th of November, you died in
my arms, and it was one of the worst moments of my life! I knew
you were going, and I could feel you fading away, you were soo
still, and you were already going cold, I knew you had left your
body, but I put my hand on your chest, and I could still feel
your heart fluttering, I wanted you to stay with me soo
badly, but I knew you had to go, that God was taking you from me,
and there was nothing I could do about it. I don't have words to
express the pain that I feel in my heart! It's broken into a
million pieces! I have cried rivers for you, and I still cry, I'll
miss you for the rest of my life. I've said, I lost many pets, but
this was the first time I had one pass in my arms. This was even
harder, finding one of my piggies passed in their cage, or getting
a call from the vet's office was hard enough, but being
there, and seeing and feeling you leave, was soo much worse! I
know you're free, and happy, and healthy and young forever now,
waiting for me, with all your relatives at the rainbow bridge,
but, right now, I'm feeling the words in the song "Homesick For
Heaven".... "I close my eyes, and I see your face, if home's where
my heart is, then I'm out of place, Lord, will you help me make it
through somehow, I've never been more homesick than now"
Right now, I can't bring myself to look at pictures, or home
videos of you, cause the hurt is too much too handle. I have your
beautiful son, and grandson, that will be my only comfort right
now, that will carry on your legacy, where you shine through, and
remind me, that I always have a part of you with me. And someday,
just like with my Ben, I'll be able to look at those sweet
treasures, pictures and home movies of you, without the pain.
I love you soo much, my Daryl baby, I love you more than you
know, and I always, ALWAYS will!

The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
then you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle, can’t be won.
You will be sad, I understand,
Don’t let the grief then stay your hand,
For this day more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stand the test.
We’ve had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears.
You’d not want me to suffer so;
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they’ll tend
And stay with me, if you can, to the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time, you will see,
It is a kindness you do for me.
Although my tail its last was waved,
From pain and suffering I’ve been saved.
Don’t grieve that it should be you,
Who must decide this thing to do,
We’ve been so close, we two, these years;
Don’t let your heart hold any tears.
Smile, for we walked together for a little while.

Duchess,

What can I say but an amazing dog. But for this last year, you
were a hardy, vibrant, and very independent companion for over 16
years. I inherited you from my niece who lived with me. You’ve
been my dog for over 15 years and adapted to three moves like a
lady. You were the only surviving member of my five dog brood. The
pain of your passing is settling on me now and I know my glance
will land on every area of my house that you inhabited. I love
you.
Dude, 10/02/2009
- 03/21/18
My handsome dog Dude was put to rest today. He
and I had been living loving laughing for nearly 10 years and we
became big parts of each of each others lives. Me
learning about him and he learning about me. The
amazing part to this dog is he loved everyone, and everyone loved
him. In the early years we spent time at the park all
kinds of toys and riding in the car which he loved. I hardly
ever went anywhere without my Dude. The hardest
part of our relationship came when he was diagnosed with Cushings
Disease. It took it's toll on him and we knew we had
met the curve in the road. My prayers are when I get
to the Rainbow Bridge he will stop everything he is doing with his
friends and ability to run again and greet me and we can take the
next step down the lighted path that awaits a loving God that
loves Dude and me.
loving and missing Dude
Duke Baker,

Duke was an amazing dog that will leave behind 16 1/2 great years
of memories. He touched many lives and his soul will always be
with us. His loving personality will always be remembered for all
of our years to come. May our sweet, precious Duke rest in peace.
We love you so much.
