Faithful Friends

Shutzhund trained German Shepherd: Osiris passed away on April 12, 2011.

She was 11. My dad bought her trained to guard and attack if needed for the family 9 years earlier. I was the last to meet her and train with her, but I arrived back from a conference when I was 13 years old. I ran down to the basement where the scary attack dog was supposed to be, quietly walked into the room, as not to distract her from more of her obedience training. As I crouched down our eyes met and I didn’t see a furious attack dog, instead I saw sweet, loving, playful eyes, I guess you could say, “it was love at first sight.” In that moment we bonded and I knew she would be mine.

In those 9 years she became my protector, safety, my biggest music critic. She loved unconditionally, a love that I have never known. She was my companion and my best friend of all time. I will miss you my sweet girl!

I, Emma Brown, of Sunbury, Victoria, created this memorial in loving memory of my cherished Tortoise-Shell cat.

My name is Emma. My 11th birthday, February 3rd, 1995, was the day you came into my life, a cute and fluffy kitten with a pink bow around your tiny neck.

The fourteen years we spent together were filled with many happy times. I’ll always remember the morning when you followed me to school, all the time you spent carrying Grandad’s old socks around and the day you followed Mum as she walked the dog around the big soccer field.

Chloe, it’s with great sadness that I send you off to that big pain-free world in the sky. Until we meet again, rest in peace, sweet pussycat.

May 13th, 1995 – February 8th, 2011

I, Emma Brown, of Sunbury, Victoria, created this memorial in loving memory of my cherished German Short-Haired Pointer.

My name is Emma. When I visited a big pet warehouse in Campbellfield, Victoria, in mid 1995, I wasn’t even planning to buy a dog, yet I came home with you, a beautiful brown-eyed angel.

Hazel, we spent fifteen fun-filled years together and now it’s time for you to go to doggy heaven. To me, you weren’t just a dog, you were my sister and my best friend. When I was sad or lonely, you were always there to comfort me. You were someone I could talk to, and, even though you couldn’t answer, you always listened.

Hazel, you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, little angel.
