This page is dedicated to the many cherished pets who
filled our spirits with joy during their lives, and left huge holes in our
hearts when they died. Gone but never forgotten.... |
|
We are saddened by the loss of TRIPPER who recently
joined his friend PARKER in that big, warm cat-bed in the sky. We miss
you; the parking lot will not be the same without you. |

SHADOW
May
9, 2002 – April 21, 2006
This is
in loving memory of Shadow who came into our lives when he was thirteen years
old after being thrown away at the shelter.
Shadow was thrown away because he was a diabetic although we did not
know it at the time. Shadow
thrived at our home and lived with us for almost four years before we lost
him to his illness. Sadly,
Shadow died in my arms on April 21, 2006.
Shadow was loved more in those
four years than he had ever been in his previous thirteen years. We miss him dearly and we are happy that he was a part of our
lives. He will always be in our
hearts and we miss his beautiful big green eyes that just looked right into
your heart.
We miss you Shadow more you will
ever know. Until we are together
again we will honor your memory by helping others that are abandoned every
day. Thank you for coming into
our lives.
IF LOVE COULD HAVE SAVED
YOU
YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE
DIED

We will meet again.... |
For those of us who truly love and value our pets as best friends and members
of the family, their loss can be devastating. Many people do not
appreciate the power of our bond with beings of another species and may
discount, or even ridicule, the profound emotions that such a loss can
precipitate. It is essential that people celebrate each pet's life
even as we mourn his/her death in whatever way is appropriate.
Society's permission is not necessary to do this and many valuable resources
are available to grieving pet parents. |
|
Grief is a complex emotion and it is difficult enough to experience when
surrounded with a strong support network. Too often in our society,
animal companions are of secondary importance and many dismiss their loss as a secondary
concern.
Guilt is commonly associated with the loss of a pet. People wonder what
they could or should have done differently to ease the suffering or lengthen
life.
They fear they might have euthanized their beloved pet too soon -
or too late. They fear their pet may have suffered. They wonder
if people around them may, indeed, be right that they are allowing the death
to affect them far too much.

Pets are our fur-babies. They are often our best friends and our
only source of true unconditional love. They are deserving of our
devotion, our gratitude, and our highest respect.
So long as whatever we do for them is done with their best interests in
mind, we have done the right thing.

Also dedicated to the millions like Little
Sweetie, who never find or keep the safe, loving, forever homes they
deserve. Little Sweetie was a beautiful, loving kitty who was
declawed and left to starve in the wilderness, and was rescued too
late. Little Sweetie - I miss you and I'm sorry.
