I Still Love and Miss You...
To my sweet heart dog of a lifetime... Dancer, I can't believe it's three years that you have been gone. But, now I know why you left - it was to get things ready in the spirit land so you could continue your job of taking care of Daddy Mike, who loved you here as much as I did. You will always...

Jasmine, my sweet baby girl
Dear Jasmine, Today marks 30 days without you in our lives. I still weep for you. I still look at the backdoor to see if you are watching me as I work in the flower gardens. I have to stop myself from asking if you want to 'go' when we run an errand. I am still getting up at 5:30 AM to feed you...

I came home this afternoon to find him unresponsive, and was preparing to take him to the exotics E-Vet when his breathing changed, and I just knew somehow that...

Good-bye, Molly
I'm relatively new to the forum, but everyone already seems like family. I've been too sad to visit the forum lately, but I just wanted to drop by to let you know we had to take our Husky mix, Molly, on a one-way trip to the vet last week. Her back legs refused to work any longer, and at 14...

A voice now silent
Hootie the Talking Cockatiel passed away this morning. He was 11 which was a fair age for a cockatiel. He'd been a bit less talkative of late, but our favorite oldies station was no longer on and he chattered with that mostly. David taught him to talk as a baby so the bird honestly had Davids Scot's...
