Dearest Pokey, Your purr has been silenced, your middle of the night presentations of your favorite toys are over. The little nudge I felt on my hand with your cold little nose won't happen anymore as I try to sleep. I long to see you laying on your back, staring at me, willing me to play. The space in front of the door where you looked out each day seems so empty, along with the rest of the house. Since 2002 you were my closest companion and faithful little friend. This past year, with all the chaos that entered our lives, was much more tolerable because you were here. I'm still looking for you as I go about my day, and my heart breaks as I realize that you aren't here to follow me around anymore. Our time together was much too short, but it's time that I will cherish for the rest of my life. You were a gift from Heaven, my sweet little angel. Goodbye Baby Girl, rest in painless peace. With more love than I ever thought possible, Daddy
My best friend Josie, Josiphine (JOSIE) Richard my best friend. The best dog in the world. A good little spirit. I will always miss her. She will always be my girl. I love you Josie, I love you Josie, right down to your big black tosies. Sandy
Lucky, You meant the world to me. You were the sweetest, kindest dog ever. You loved every person and every animal. No matter where we went. infants, children, and people of all ages would come up to pet you. You were so much fun. You always liked to dress up for holidays and pose for photos. I tried to keep you healthy and strong and protect you, but that horrid dog food recall caused a tragic end to your life. I feel so sick and distressed about the whole situation. You were a real fighter. You hung in there until August 4, 2007. I'll never forget your last moments when you looked up at me so lovingly and so sad as if to say that you were apologizing for the mess that you had just made. I miss you so much. I'll always love you. Love, Mom \ | / - o - sunnyone / | \
Sweetpea - 1987 - July 7, 2007 My sweet little companion, Sweetpea, came into my life like a miraculous gift from nowhere some twenty years ago. A spry black-spotted kitten stepped out from under a parked car as I walked home from work and kept two steps ahead of me all the way home looking back regularly, a behavior she exhibited all her life. Upon arrival she scooted into my living room, hopped up onto the back of the couch and began grooming herself. She never left. Sweetpea had the winning alertness of a kitten all her life. Even recently my wife and I had to remind ourselves that she was indeed old. Unlike many cats, Sweetpea was very sociable, liked all humans, and was not at all shy with strangers. Whenever humans - her own humans or starngers - came to the house, Sweetpea would immediately walk out to greet them. Even large groups of strange people did not intimidate her, and she would make herself right at home with them. Her outgoingness was the result of both innocent confidence and trust, which she never lost, and a deep need for human love. In her old age Sweetpea became very fond of my teenage stepdaughter, Daodao, who came to live with us. Sweetpea would seek out Daodao in her bedroom or wherever she was studying. They became very good friends because they shared the same cheerful disposition. Daodao referred to Sweetpea affectionately simply as "Pea," a practice which her mother and I soon took up. Daodao was very tender with Sweetpea who was fortunate to have this additional affectionate family member. Sweetpea lived in three different houses during her long life and adapted without complaint to all. The most recent allowed her ample opportunity for the past eight years to safely enjoy the outdoors which she did every day without ever venturing out of the yard. She liked to curl up or stretch out in a corner of our deck and would come skitteringly every day with her customary "Mrrrrrrrr" when I would call. One day she did not come. Sweetpea's favorite thing to do all her life was to curl up in the lap of the human she followed home. I am so grateful that she chose to share her long life with me and mine. I so miss her sometimes silent mews. Our house is emptier. I am consoled by the memory of her life unmarred by ill health and replete with warm beds - including human beds - spaces to roam, and the nourishing love of her grieving humans.
