To our rescue, a beloved Penny, she chose her own name and would come to no other. We kept it because it suited this 5 pound teacup poodle that we welcomed to join our lives.
She watched and mothered the children in the home, she watched and mothered the cats who were in the home as they grew up to be twice her own size.
She loved going on adventures with us, she would ride atop each of our kayaks and swim to the other one when she got bored. Or cower in the cockpit as a large bird of prey flew over, we often joked she was so small she knew she was food.
Sleeping overnights with us in the overly cramped RV and only softly growling at the lions that were playing around outside.
Waking us with the smallest of calls so we could catch a passing bear or elk.
When we would foyer into the city, she would ride in a purse with only her nose and eyes sticking out never being noticed.
I know the scores of other adventures you took us on, often sitting up on the dash of the RV watching the world go by that you will be a permanent party of my life tale.
I thank you for the open trust and endless love and blind compassion you gave us despite the lunacy that must be happening around you. A seeming very stable rock in a very turbulent world.
But when you started to crumble, as the strokes came more frequent and worse, the pain and terror in your eyes was something I had no tool to fix and even knowing that the cure was worse than the disease did not help your agony. I thank you for surviving my wife the holidays, I know that all the kids took turn to dote upon you, I gave you every comfort that could be afforded till everyone had said their good byes.. But that one morning when the convulsions simply would not stop, we both agreed, asking you to suffer just so we would not want to lose a friend was wrong of us.
We lost Bailey unexpectedly on Sunday, November 6, 2011. Known affectionately as the “street sweeper,” we always had to watch the path in front of Bailey as he walked, because he loved to eat all kinds of things. Unfortunately at age 10 this habit caught up to him. He ate a stick in the yard and it punctured his abdomen. Saying goodbye to him has been such a shock to all of us; the house is so quiet without him. His brother dog, Rusty, aged 7, has not known life in our family without Bailey. Rusty is a rescue dog and he always drew strength and confidence from having Bailey by his side. Since Bailey has been gone Rusty is very quiet–it’s heartbreaking to imagine that he is grieving for his sidekick. On Thursday we will collect Bailey’s ashes and bring him home to rest with his family. Bailey, we love you, and we’d give anything to have you back with us. But we can only have the memories, and through those you will always live on. You’ll always be in our hearts. Please shine your light on Rusty for us. We love you. xoxox
We lost a good friend and his name was Benny cat. He died of old age and he is well missed. He didn’t mine being dressed up. Benny was like a human, but he wasn’t at all. He love to eat people food and cat treats. We love and miss you Benny. At least you are in a better place, running around and having fun…..

We lost our sweet Abby Cat 3 weeks ago and we still miss her. She followed me wherever I went almost like a dog. She craved attention and she loved to outside. She often went with me to the mail box. Often we would both sit outside for hours enjoying the sunshine. She often would catch chipmunks or mice and bring them to me. Most of the time the chipmunks would survive. When I came down the stairs in the morning she would rush ahead of me and wait by the door hoping I would let her outside. She loved water. We had three bowls for her one on either side of the kitchen and one upstairs in the bathroom. But she always thought my glass of water for her. I’d be sitting on in the family room with a glass of water on the table next to me and next thing I knew she had her head in my glass lapping up the water. She was very affectionate and everybody loved Abby.
I got Booch as a puppy shortly after I graduated from college. He was the best friend I could ever hope to have for 11 years. I expected to have a few more years with him, but he got sick with IMHA this year. Though he survived the initial scare, we only had 2 months of health with him before he took a serious turn for the worst and left us. We are devastated. He was so much fun, so gentle, so playful and friendly with people and animals. All he ever wanted was to play tennis ball with us. Our house feels so empty and lonely without him. I would give anything to have him back.
We lost our very loved dog Grizzly at the age of 3 due to seizures, the vet felt it was most likely from a brain tumor. He was our best friend and a smart dog. We are still stinging from the pain of losing him so traumatically. I just opened the box we recieved in which I thought would contain him in a plastic bag. How touched I was to find him in beautiful cedar along with a touching poem and seeds to grow. Thank you for providing such a lovely display for our buddy, Grizzly. He is so very missed.
