    My little guy Miles, 2 year old male cat was a very special cat to me. He was a stray and it will be almost 1 year in June that he had been living with me. I used to see him follow my outdoor cat Maxie (10 yr. old female cat). So I decided to start feeding the poor little guy. He was so skinny, his fur looked rough, and you could tell he got into cat fights a lot. After two weeks, I was able to get him to come close enough for me to pet him. So I spoke with some friends about him and we all thought that I should take him in.

    I brought him in to get neutered. After dropping him off I went to work. I got a phone call from the vet saying he was positive for FeLV. At the time I didn’t understand much about FeLV but I knew it was serious when she asked if I’d put him down. I didn’t know what to say so I said can I bring him home first and decide. So I did bring him home and he recovered very well.

    I am so happy I did bring him home, because he was such a lovable, friendly, and talkative cat. He was also obviously not ready to leave this world. He got the chance to be in a loving home where we spoiled him with hugs and kisses and lots of food. He gained weight and his fur coat became shiny. He became my little companion, he slept with me, he followed everywhere around the house. When I came home late, it was hard to sneak in so that my parents wouldn’t hear me because he would greet me so loudly, Meowing, probably asking me ‘Where have you been!?” LOL He was my little guy. The past couple of weeks he started to eat a lot less and his personality started to change. We brought him in to the vet last week but they weren’t sure what was going on, they gave him meds. Nothing helped, he got worse. I brought him to the vet yesterday and they did blood work on him and the results showed us that he was very sick and that this was it.
    Miles taught me a lot, I have so much more love for animals and I want to help out other animals. I miss him so much. I don’t have my little guy anymore to go to bed with and wake up with and to greet me at the door. My parents, sister and other family members are all truly saddened by this, but he is in a better place having a good time, where he isn’t suffering or in pain. He will be very missed by all of us.
    I will never forget you Miles. Mommy misses you so much! You will always be in my heart. I love you Miles and always will,
    Susie (Mommy)

    Lucy, my blue cream tortoise shell lived for 19 years. She had a brother, Oscar who died 10 years ago. Then a couple years later she welcomed (well, not so nicely after having been the only master of the house for the years before!) another brother who just turned 8. We miss her terribly and will never forget her…

    I found my Cali-butt when I was at a local animal store picking food for my rats. I noticed a large green cage with a tag the read: “Californian. Everything-$40”. Having never really had a rabbit before, I asked the owner about her. Apparently, her breed is sold for food and fur but there was something about her that made her special to me. The first night she was home, I stayed on the internet for hours researching everything I could find out about her. It was Cali who ultimately taught me the most important things in life. Anywhere I went, she was with me. She was great with all animals- big and small and never caused trouble. Everyone that met my little girl instantly loved her. No matter what happened in life, I had my best friend with me. Now my little girl has gone to join all my loved ones that have gone back to being part of the universe.

    Cali, mommy misses you so much. I cannot believe you’re gone. You were so brave during those last moments and I felt honored to have been there with you. Baby bunny- I will always love you

    I had Romeo from birth until he was 14 years old. If you got to know him while he was large in size, he was the most docile & friendly cat you could ever know. If love could have saved him; he would have been immortal. Romeo will be missed but while is gone he will never be forgotten.

    Romeo you were the best friend I ever had and I will miss you so much but I know that someday we will meet again and when that day comes we will never be apart. I miss you and I will always love you.

    Romeo will be missed beyond words can describe. I am thankful to Forget-Me-Not for the incredible ending he had with dignity, beauty, and grace.

    Sweet dreams my beautiful Prince & Angel,
    I Love You,

    Gone but Never Forgotten

    I had a ridgeback lab mix for almost 16 years. She was a loveabable great girl, almost human. All my family loved her very much, even my new nephew Tristian who is going on 6 months now. My dogs name was Cassie. She will be missed by all the Sherman and Cook families. But she will be rembered forever in our hearts. She will always be loved forever.

    We miss you cassie but love you always.

    Shellee was my best friend. She was always there with a smile. I love her still, and she will always be in my heart. She fought to live, but knew when it was time to say goodbye.

    I miss you girl. I’ll love you always…

      Shellee had a smile that would light a room. Knowing Shellee made you a better person and always made you smile in return. Some of my favorite memories of Shellee consist of her never ending smile, a tail that I swear would go threw a wall when she see you come into a room, the backing up the butt to make sure not only you see her but you scratch it as well. Even though Shellee is no longer with us in site, her spirit will alway live on.
      One of my favorite qoutes I received was when my beloved Boo passed away. She too fought a good fight till the very end. Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

      “The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. -Samuel Butler

      We miss and love you Shellee Belly!

      Love Kim, Derek, Ginger, and Sassy XXXOOO

      I saw Shellee only so often, but I loved seeing her when I visited Amy and Alan’s home. She always had a smile for me. Shellee, I will miss you so much. It hurts me that you are gone. I know Amy, Alan, and Mom took care of you the best they could. I have pictures of you and I’ll never forget you. I love you with all my heart. Hugs and kisses always Shellee. 🙂

    It’s been a year and a half since we lost our beloved Siberian Husky Murphy…and we still miss him more than you can imagine. He came into our lives as a 2 yr. old rescue and became part of our family instantly. he had the most wonderful personality you could hope for and I always used to say we could never custon order a dog more special than him. He was so gentle and kind with our two little grandaughters and we could even put our cockatiel on his back for a ride. The neighbors all loved him as much as we did and mourned his passing along with us. We lost Murphy on Flag Day at 3:30 AM. he woke us up with one long cry…totally unexpected…and he was gone. It was Sunday morning and I called Forget-Me-Not and they responded within the hour and were so compassionate and really helped get me through this most difficult time. A friend just told me she will be losing her dog soon and I thought of how nice it was to have you folks help me through this, so I reccomended she call you.
