Memory Lane

~~Our favourite hello our hardest goodbye ~~

So this is where we part after 17 years my beautiful friend.
It almost more than we can bear.
Gone from our sights but not from our mind. 
You are missed in our home, we feel it day and night. 
We know it will take time and strength, before things feel quite right. 

But for now, we need to mourn, our broken hearts — it needs to mend.
Though some may say it's “just a cat”,
We know we lost a faithful friend and family member.

There are others, that much is true, 
But they be they,
And they are not you. 

You brought such love and laughter to our home,
And richness to our days....
A constant friend through joy or loss
With gentle loving ways.

Companion, pal, and confidant.
A friend we will never forget, 
Our hearts will always wear the paw prints left by you.

~~ The loss is immeasurable, but so is the love you left behind.~~

Jake was taken way to early in his life. His tennis ball collection was second to none, and would pick a new favourite each day... He was happy running in tall grass, swimming in the lake/creek or just walks on Marshall field.... funny how he thought my pickup truck was really his to ride in. You gave me a reason to get out and walk or ride my bike as you ran along beside me. And would wait patiently while I would stop for a coffee then greet me with such excitement.  I miss you pal ...as do all your family and friends 

Thank you Jake  for coming into my life ....

"FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS"

Our beautiful little Paris slipped away to sleep, in her favorite spot with her family by her side.
She will be deeply missed, but she definitely left her foot prints in our hearts!

"When someone you love becomes a memory,
the memory becomes a treasure."

A Prayer to Family 

Beloved Friends of the Animal Kingdom, I am humbled in Your Presence. You have endured the burden of suffering placed upon you for centuries of time by this species of people who have believed themselves better than you, higher than you, mightier than you. Majestic gifts from the cosmos, you share not our language, but in your eyes is a love more powerful than most people can bear. May that love reach into the hearts of all upon this planet and reveal a truth long hidden: we all come from the One Great Source. We truly are Family. 

With certainty, we know that Ping has been embraced by the Light; no more to return and endure the suffering of discord issued by mankind. We thank you for the love, the companionship and the example that you set for us to follow: never complaining, always grateful, always faithful and ever demonstrating such determination to Be. 

We are so grateful and so blessed to have the compassion and service of Karin and Chris at Halo to assist with Ping following her transition.

If love could have kept you alive, you would have lived forever

11 years with us wasn’t enough. 

You never barked, just never felt the need to. You were patient, loving, and gentle and a loyal companion. Your nudges for lovies will be missed. You are chasing birds, through fields, swimming in the lake, and I know you will be there waiting for us with your bright eyes and wagging tail, when our time comes. Good-bye baby girl.
