GOD BLESS OUR PETS
They say memories are golden
well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have
saved you,
you never would
have died.
In life I loved
you dearly,
in death I love
you still.
In my heart you
hold a place
no one could ever
fill.
If tears could
build a stairway
and heartache make a lane.
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by
one,
the chain will
link again.

April O'Neil Weston
You came to me a puppy. So cute...
You loved to run through the woods, bounding
like a deer...
Remember the time you tried to jump over
the parked car?
Remember the chipmunk you caught and brought
into the house?
It took us days to get it to go back outside..leading
it with peanut butter on crackers..
Remember the hamster you found and Mommy
let you keep as your pet?
You were always so gentle..even in the
end, on the way to the vet, it was you who was hugging me....
I used to say you were an alcoholic who
"couldn't control her licker"..
I loved each and every one of those kisses.
I think I miss those most of all.
You were 15 when you crossed the bridge,
an old lady.
But, I will always remember you as my puppy
dog.
I love you, April, thanks for being such
a wonderful dog.

IN MEMORIAM – FRODO
You came into my life when my heart was recovering from the loss of my Groucho. You came out from where
you were hiding, and accepted my pets and stayed with me for close to an hour while I talked to you. You were so handsome
and your eyes reminded me of the ring bearer in the “Lord of the Rings.” You left me way too soon. I will never
forget your sweet gentleness, the track you ran into my backyard and my heart. You always took advantage of the pillow when
it was at the end of the couch and I went into the kitchen for something to drink. I can still hear the sighing sound you
made when you had to get up so I could sit down. Everyone who met you fell in love with you. Now, I think about you and Groucho
playing together. You will be in my heart forever!

IN
MEMORIAM – GROUCHO
You were my first greyhound. I wasn’t sure how it was going to work out when you didn’t want to get into
my car when I picked you up. You cowered in the corner of my backseat while I talked to you constantly. When you put your
chin on my shoulder at that stoplight, I knew we would be OK. I protected you against all those deep-voiced men that frightened
you and the thunder and lightning. You kept me company in bed, even though I had to make you get out of the middle and on
your own side when I came back from my shower. You were always reluctant to move when I wanted to lie down and watch TV, but
you would creep back behind me and cuddle anyway. When you let me know that your life was no longer enjoyable, I made one
of the most difficult decisions of my life.

Zeus
you came to me with problems and I wasn’t sure if I would be able to deal with them.
Over the years we became soul mates and whatever problems came up I knew the two of us could handle them. Zeus when you passed away a part of me died that day. When I took you to the vet’s I felt that you
would be better the next day like usual. The vet called and said for me to get
there as soon as I can, my heart sank. When I got there you looked so helpless. I didn’t know what I could do for you to make you better. Then, they said that dreaded word Cancer. A large tumor in
your liver and spleen. This wasn’t happening to my Zeus. I couldn’t believe it. As I sat with you for 7 hours
in the cage I knew I had to do something for you. I wouldn’t let you suffer. I wouldn’t let them do surgery on you just to have you be with me for a few
more months. I knew I had to let you go.
That was the hardest thing I had to do. I told the vet I would be with
you to the very end. When he gave you the first shot I looked into those beautiful
eyes of yours and knew this is what you wanted. Then the second shot. I had my doubts that I was doing the right thing but I didn’t want to let you go. I had your head in my lap and I felt the last breath you had taken.
I didn’t want you to be alone because I knew you would were scared. But,
I know you are happy and running around like you did when you were health. I
could swear I see you walking up the steps or get a glimpse of you on the carpet in the dining room. You are always with me. And at times I can feel that last
breath on my hand. I know that is the way your way of telling me that you are
okay and you are with me. Zeus I love you and miss you with every day that goes
by. Be happy my love.

Jewell (my Angel Eyes), you came to me when my heart was broken by the lost of Zeus. I swore that I would not open my heart to another. I
think you sensed that and you were determined to get me to love you. Well my
little angel you did. You had quite a personality and let everyone know it. Jewell, you were the clown, the princess, and lady of the house. Who knew when you got sick in December that was the beginning of the end?
I tried everything I could to make you better but I couldn’t. When
I heard it was cancer my heart dropped. Not again. I would of done anything to make you better. Jewell the way
you looked at me to make it better and have the hurt go away broke my heart. I
wish I could of my angel but I couldn’t. I knew some day I would have to
make that decision to let you go and I dreaded that day. The day had come on
January 12th. I knew I had to let you go that night. I could see the pain in your eyes and I needed to take it away. Please
know I did what was best for you.
You came so fast into my live and left the same way. I feel you
came to me to ease the pain I had and you certainly did that. Now the pain of losing you is there. I know you are in a better place and you are happy. I
will never forget what you did for me. Keep watching over me Angel Eyes.

From
that very day back in June 1998, when the adoption center handed you over to us, you immediately filled our house, lives and
most importantly, our hearts with neverending sweetness, loyalty, companionship and unconditional love.
You had an
uncanny ability for knowing when it was time for your 5 a.m. breakfast every morning; when your dark brown ears perked forward,
they resembled upside-down chocolate kisses. You were so cute, whether it was while sleeping in the "cockroach" position,
sticking your head inside the "cookie" cabinet hoping to snatch a few, or peeking your head around the corner to see what
was going
on in the next room.
We were blessed to have had you as being such an intelligent, wonderful, true companion
in our lives, and we happily and lovingly spoiled you in return.
We miss you so much, Tigger - thank you for all the
sweet, happy memories, and you will never, ever be forgotten. We will be reunited again someday, at The Rainbow Bridge.
We
Love You Always,
Ed & Heidi
