Faithful Friends

Max died on 13th March 2009 from a fatal heart attack at the age of 14.
He was obtained from the RSPCA Fairfield Shelter when he was 6 months of
age. He was a stray on the Gold Coast and was very skinny when we got
him. He was always beside my kids from babies, he took all the ear &
whisker pulling that kids could give him and not once in his life was he
ever aggressive towards the kids or anyone else. He was a true
gentleman and he will be sadly missed. Loving Always, your mum & dad,
Teyah & Jay xxx.

Ruby died on New Years Eve 2008 from a fatal Brown Snake Bite at the age
of 10 months. She was obtained from the RSPCA Fairfield Shelter when
she was 8 months of age. She was a loving little girl and fit right
into our family straight away, she loved life. Our family taught her to
swim and once she learnt you couldn’t get her out of the water. We were
swimming in our dam when Ruby was bitten by the Brown, we only noticed
once we were at the top of the hill and her eyes glazed over, she didn’t
make it to the vet in time. We loved you Ruby and you saddened us
deeply when you departed so soon in my son’s arms. Loving Always, your
mum & dad, Teyah & Jay xxx.

Larry was put down by the RSPCA Toowoomba on 28th October 2008. He had
been spooked by a rough storm with hail and had taken off. Unknown to
us a lady had picked him up and taken him to the RSPCA. I prompted
placed him on Pet D Tect with the RSPCA, 2 days after he went missing
(we have 174 acres so it did take a while to check the property
thoroughly). He was put to sleep despite being on Pet D Tect the next
week. Our older dog Max was struck down by a paralysis tick and hence
delayed our trip to the vet for Larry to have his microchipping and
desexing completed. Life’s not sometimes very fair, when it comes to a
fun loving dog like Larry. The kids were shattered to know that your
life was taken unnecessarily by someone else’s hands. Loving Always,
your mum & dad, Teyah & Jay xxx.

Our beloved pet Jay Jay, a Staffy cross Ridgeback, Great Dane, Labrador who
was with us for 14 years.

Came to us in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory. Followed us all over
Australia, final resting place Molong NSW.
She was a very special member of the family. Loved by her three little
owners who miss her greatly.

Passed away quietly, today Friday 17th April 2009.
Have fun chasing those sheep, you will be much missed by all of us.

Michael, your beloved master and Friend.

Tackers was a blue point Birman born on 21st December 1993. We bought her
from Coral Pennisi at Salcora Cattery. Tackers was a beautiful soul and
part of my life for 15 years. In June 2007 she developed heart failure, but
being the battler she was, she fought this and tolerated all the many vet
visits and daily medications. I think she knew she was loved so much.
Sadly, on 15th March 2009 she finally succumbed to secondary heart failure
and died peacefully with her 3 humans and a very compassionate vet by her
side at the Queensland Veterinary Specialists’ at Chermside. She is missed
so very much. Jackie Cole (nee Gibson), Keperra, Queensland.
