With us for almost 15 years, Jessie was a feisty, beautiful little girl who loved hunting mice, walkies, cuddling on beds and a good pat.

Sadly Dementia/Alzheimer’s set in several months ago, and my once happy, energetic dog lost a lot. I’ll always remember the times her memory would shine through and she’d lick my foot, to let me know she remembered.

My little ‘Miffy’, was put to rest after a hard battle. You were a member of the family, much loved and cherished. I shall never forget you.

I love you, Jessie. Forever.

Words for Wilson
Today I lost my best friend, “Wilson”. He came to us from nowhere and made himself at home. In fact, he took over the home. Life will be somewhat empty now that you have gone.

The great pleasure of my dog “Wilson” is that you may make a fool of  yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. One reason Wilson was such a comfort when you’re feeling blue is that he
didn’t try to find out why.

I talk to him when I’m lonesome and I’m sure he understands. When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my clothes. For all that knew him, they will know that you can always buy more
clothes, but never a friend like Wilson.

The more one gets to know people, the more one values dogs. Life can be cruel sometimes, Willy Boy, you have been taken from me when I needed you the most.

Rest in Peace “Willy Boy” I will really miss you.

Our friend Cheeky died doing what he loved, hunting whatever he could catch, as they were invaders in his territory. Very sadly he died as a result of a snake bite on 27th January 2012.

Cheeky was a loyal companion and best friend to Rod, James Caity, Mark and Tom for 13 years.

We miss him a lot.

My dogs name was Rosco. He was a golden Cocker Spaniel. We have had him for 14 years since he was 8 weeks old.

My name is Helen Willis and I live in Newcastle NSW. Rosco passed away on Friday 24/2/2012 at home after a short illness with a chest infection.

I miss him so badly, the house is so empty without him.

Looking for support to help me through this terrible time.

Ali was more than a dog he was my friend , he helped me through a rough time when I had surgery on my back, and he was my motivator to walk , we did everything together and will always have a place in my heart , I never stop thinking about him, I just regret not being there when they put him down and I carry a lot of guilt because he was around strangers when he went to sleep.

I lost a special friend
the kind you can’t replace,
and looking at her empty bed
I still can see her face.
I see the endless energy
the sparkling puppy eyes,
not the tired, fragile friend
I had to bid goodbye.
I know she’s in a special place
our Lord has for such friends,
where meadows, fields & flowers
help make them strong and whole again.
I remember how she’d run to me
to play her favourite puppy game,
and how her ears would perk right up
When she heard me call her name.
But as those precious years went by
and we both aged and grew,
I’d find her often slowing down
but-we had still so much to do.
I’ve noticed in the recent times
her ears were not as sharp,
where is that running ball of fur
the years have shown their mark.
She started sleeping next to me
Was this her special clue,
because she felt the end was near I only wish I knew.
LUCY was a special dog
I know she gave her best,
but as I looked deep into her eyes
I knew it was time, for her to rest.
It will truly be a struggle
I don’t know how I’ll face each day,
I have to let her go–I know
But in my heart she’ll always stay.
Health and strength, wait for her there,
so with my very special friend
I’m sending all my prayers. I know she’s watching over me
She’ll be with me when I cry,
So with one more kiss on her beloved head
I told my LUCY  LOO goodbye.

Bonnie was the sweetest dog ever. She would come to the shops with me and while I was shopping she would sit in the drivers seat till I returned. When I went to bed all I would have to say to her was “Bonnie bed” and she would rush to my bed, wait until I hopped in, then jump in give me a lick behind the ears. She would then snuggle up under the doona and wouldn’t move until I did.

She just loved that and watching TV on my lap.

She was my baby, RIP bonnie… you will not be forgotton.
