My Beloved Ashley.  When you left, a hole was torn in my heart, never to be mended.

1995-2012

Things I learned from Mitzi: 

1. 1. ◦Keep your feet on the ground - don't let anyone pick you up and carry you when you can do it yourself. 
      

   2. ◦Go out with your tail held high. 
      

   3. ◦Wrap yourself around corners and lean into them.

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."

Bogie lived 10 happy years watching over his family, any and all kids, his cats, his chickens and his rabbits with patience and love.

Ode to Bodie

We went to the pound

finding a pet was our goal,

but it was you who picked us

with those eyes full of soul.

Pig ears and bully stix

were always your fave,

but really I think

any food you could crave.

What a smarty pant dog,

you learned several a great trick,

sit, stay, shake and speak

you caught on just so quick.

You loved your long walks

full of cavorting and twirls,

and hiking Briones 

you'd chase ALL the squirrels!

So gentle were you

with the cats in our home,

nose to nose to greet them

your love you have shown.

Oh to have another 15 years

with your charm and your smarts,

Just know that your paws

Have left prints on our hearts. 

Poo

"My beautiful brave boy, we fought together hand in paw and I cherished every day with you. Every day is a gift."

Buddy, you were a wonderful friend.

A real gem.

We miss you to pieces

Mr. Magoo, our "Goo". You came into our lives at 6 weeks old after being abandoned in a vacant home at birth. How lucky we were to have been awarded your care. You were the best playmate ever to your Elsa, a kind and tolerant friend to DC, Milo, Polka Dot, Izzy and Blazey. Our home isn't the same without your spirit, little man. There are no words for how much you are missed by everyone who ever touched your beautiful fur. Go play over the rainbow bridge, whole and free, your friends are waiting for you! 

2.14.01 - 5.17.16.

Sweetest Odie, who fought illness so bravely. We love you always and always more; forever in our hearts until we meet again"

Tigger

Our little fighter, forever in our hearts

Kali

She was my companion for over 9 years and had a beautiful spirit. She brought so much love and joy to my life and to everyone around her.
