    I will miss my Pancho so much. He has been here with me from age 22 to a month before I turned 38. My entire adult life Pancho has been my constant companion. We lived in 9 places together. Pancho has been through every major life event with me. I often used him as my sixth sense when dating in my 20’s: if Pancho’s hairs go up, then it’s not going to work; he used to be my running and hiking partner; he stayed home with me and went for long walks after I lost my job; he loved me no matter what size I happened to be wearing that year; he didn’t care that I changed careers 3 times; he stayed under my feet when I tried starting my own business from the house; he cuddled me after I had a miscarriage; he was jealous when I got married; he was more than happy to be my baby when I found out I couldn’t have one; we made sure to have a fenced in yard for him when we bought a new house; and he accepted our little girl when we decided to adopt. Pancho, always with one ear up and one ear down. He loved to prance through the woods, chase leaves, and eat deli meat. He was definitely part snow-dog and part herder, always making sure his pack was nearby. He was my travel companion on countless weekend getaways. In the end, his legs got too tired to hold him up any more. He eventually told me in his own way that he was ready to go. Saying good bye to my baby after 15 years, 7mos, and 10 days was the hardest thing I have ever done. I love you Pancho. I can’t wait until we meet again…

    Today we said farewell to our beloved Nelson. 2 1/2 years ago, Nelson choose us to go home with. You see we volunteer for a rescue group and we went to check out another dog, but Nelson instead came home with us. From the first day he made himself at home and even though our purpose was to find him another home, he had already chosen us. So after a month of searching, we decided to keep him, especially since him and our other dog Sammy seemed to have boned quickly in that time.
    We knew going in that Nelson would not be with us long. Everyone expected him to last a year, but we had him for 2 1/2 amazing years. It was like he was with us all along.
    Though we will miss him deeply, we know that he is playing in the sunshine, a place he loved to be.

    To forget me not,
    Thank you. You all do a awesome job.

    Just yesterday I lost my cat chip to cancer. He is in that better place now.

    My handsome Ollie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 1/19/14. I’ve never had a cat who had more personality than Ollie. And he was a big one! 21 pounds! Very vocal, too. His date of birth is unknown, but I’d had him since 2009. I got him from a friend who had found him in 2001 and he was fully grown then. I’m assuming he was around 16. He was diagnosed with diabetes in October and had been getting 2 insulin shots per day. His energy began to rapidly decline and his hind legs grew very weak, and he was put down after having 2 diabetic related seizures last weekend. I received his cremains today and I’m very glad to have him home again tonight. The cedar box is beautiful, too. Run, my Ollie and I will see you someday.

    After almost 13 loving years, Jake passed away after his caretaker Lucille went in for hip surgery. Jake, waited to die until he had his last visit with Lucille at the rehab center and died in the car after leaving her. Jake was loved by everyone that knew him. He will be greatly missed!

    Spice was rescued from a high-kill shelter when she was just a pup. Six months and a few lucky twists of fate later, I met her and immediately fell in love. Everyone that knew her in the seven years that I had her loved her as well. She was such a soulful dog and completely unselfish. I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter dog that was so caring and eager to be loved even though she wasn’t treated well in the first year of her life. She’d been through five moves in two cities/states with me and was my main confidante during my single twenties. She was there when I met my current boyfriend and we when we got an apartment together and started building a home for the three of us. My boyfriend only knew her for a year and a half, but he is just as devastated as I am that she left us at a relatively young age. That is how much of an impression she left on people that took the time to get to know her. She was my soul pet and I will always love her, never forget her no matter how many other dogs I have throughout my life. As a dog who knew how to stop and smell the flowers (and trees, grass, bushes…), I know she that is what she is doing now. I hope she has an eternity to smell whatever she wants in a place with an abundance of bread, carrots and french fries. I love you Spice!!
