| Sasha Lady |
| ~04-14-94 to 02-23-08 Breed: Cocker Spaniel Nickname: "Lades" I got Sasha from the Humane Society in April 2001. She was my first dog of my own, so I learned so much from her. She suffered many maladies that afflict the breed of Cocker Spaniel, but she was trooper through it all. More important was her love of rides in the car, getting food at the drive up window, and her own grunting language to let me know what she wanted. I helped Sasha to Heaven after a long battle with intestinal lymphoma. I could write pages about this special girl, but to sum it up: she was the best and there never will be another like her! |
| Brody |
| ~03-17-91 to 01-17-08 Breed: Shih Tzu Nickname: "Brode Man" Brody came to live with me in February 2003 after he was brought into the clinic where I worked at the time to be euthanized. He had severely neglected dry eye and skin allergies which his elderly owner could not handle. He was still a very spunky dog and his problems were easy to treat...until he developed glaucoma in both his eyes that didn't respond to medication. Look closely at his photo, he is the "little dog with no eyes." He still lived a good life for years after his eye removals, and he was the sweetest old man! I helped Brody to heaven when his arthritis became so severe he was no longer comfortable. |

| 05-05-94 to 01-24-09 Nicknames: "Love Keetay" "My Love" Dyno came to our family in November of 1994; 2 months after my mom declared we would never have any more animals. Our childhood cat, Moses, had just died. Within just a few months, she chose her spot on the bed between my feet and would lay with me at any chance and lick and kneed my arms...something she did until the day she died. It is so very difficult, because Dyno has always been there. She moved with me several times, and it didn’t matter where we were just as long as she was with me. She also tolerated a massive influx of dogs and a few other cats. Dyno was not healthy for a long time. She was diagnosed and treated for hyperthyroidism in 2002, followed by diabetes in 2003, and somewhere in there mast cell tumors as well, and finally some kidney issues. She was always so good for everything. I watched while the spunky kitten with the glossy, black coat aged to a somewhat flakey, but still beautiful to me, old lady. I cannot believe she is gone, and I still think every bunched up pair of black sweatpants or a blanket is her. I helped Dyno to Heaven, when very suddenly, she went into shock and had complete organ failure. |

| Dad |
| ~1991 to 05-21-07 Nickname: "Dayad Keetay" I got Dad from the Humane Society in the summer of 2000, where I worked at the time. He was originally brought to the shelter with "Mom" and "Little Girl" who were both euthanized due to aggression. Dad was at the shelter for quite sometime, and I became attached to the old man. He spoke sort of a language. "Brow Row" he'd say, and if you replied he would repeat it. He was such an awesome cat! I helped Dad to heaven after a long battle with kidney failure. |

| What are we left with? A clipping of hair, a paw print pressed in clay, a jar on the shelf, and your things: collars, sweaters, and blankets. It is not enough... But we do have memories, the lessons you taught us, the way you touched our hearts and changed our lives. I hope we get to meet again someday, and I can hug and hold you once more. |
| 10-31-04 to 07-29-10 Pascal's story is in the link to his own page. Unfortunately, my sweet boy developed immune-mediated meningitis on 07-05-10, and he was placed on large doses of prednisone to suppress his immune system. He was improving in great strides, but on 07-28-10, he developed pnemonia. Antibiotics, nubulizing, and his poor body could not win the fight against it. He died in his sleep sometime between 12:30 and 4 AM. I miss our big, goofy boy with the giant white socks more than words can describe. |
| December 13, 2000 to April 17, 2010 The loss of my special Angel, Kamille, is beyond expressing in words. After a 9 month battle with kidney disease and a 2 month battle with kidney failure, I had to help my perfect girl to Heaven. Please read her story and enjoy her photos on her own page. To have even had the opportunity to share my life with her, the best friend and companion I could ever ask for, was such a blessing! If only I could cuddle with you once more, say a proper good-bye and thank you for all you have given me. |
