NIKKI-ALWAYS IN MY HEART

Nikki's Farewell
 
The stranger picked me up while I was sleeping

He took me from the petstore and put me in a ladies lap

I didn't know it then

They were taking me home

They called me Nikki

I had a friend with whom I played, ate and slept

His name was Cody

The angels took him

I have three new friends now

Lexie, Wyatt & Mia

My time has come to leave

The angels will take me too

I will be with Cody again

Once more we will play,eat and sleep together

I will miss my human parents

They took care of me and never let me down

I will miss my buddies too

One day I know

I will see everyone again

In my new home
 

With Love, Dad

Priscilla
2000- December 4, 2009

When Maxi was getting older, I adopted 2 black kitties. The furriest one of all the babies was to be mine & she seemed very princess like, so I named her Priscilla. I made a promise as I put her & her sister, Samantha in the car. "Priscilla, you will never have to worry. I will always take care of you. I will never let you suffer and you will never be lonely, cold or hungry. You are a part of our family now. I knew when I first saw you that I had a friend for life. You have always given me & your little sister kitties unconditional love & companionship."

As you got older and started to cough & breathe hard, I knew the time would be near to let you go. When the angels came to take you to Jesus, Daddy was there to protect you and say “Goodbye my little Princess”. I held you & cried because I lost my beautiful friend. Priscilla Gorilla, you will always remain in my heart & can never be replaced. Mini has promised to be the “Big Sister” in the house, but she will never be able to fill your furry little paws that always held me tight. I know you didn’t want to let go, but it was time for you to go to kitty heaven. I miss you and will never forget you.

Love,
Mommy

The Perfect Dog..... Mia Helms

(1998 - 2009)

I had a Perfect Dog, a dog I loved so well
She soon became my best companion as anyone could tell

Her name was Mia Maya, she knew it from the start
To me she was my everything, she lived within my heart

She always stayed beside me, all day and through the night
I knew how much she loved me, it was a beautiful sight

Mia was the smartest dog of all the dogs I had
But one day she became real sick, it made me very sad

So I rushed her to the vet to see what they could do
But they told me she was failing, her life on earth was through

From the shelter to old lady, I tried to save her life
For I knew if when I lost her my life would be real strife

But my Mia left me lonely and one day she just died
It broke my heart to lose her and I just sat down and cried

But I feel she looks down on me from the heavens far above
And I know someday I'll join her, she will never lose my love

So thank you God for giving us all the time we had together
Memories come, and Memories go, but hers will last forever.

Max was a small black and white mixed terrier.
He loved vegetables and especially carrots.
He loved cats and other dogs as well.
He was an absolute joy to have in my life.

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new
  I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.
  I think of you in silence, I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part
God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart (forever).
  
BABY
  Born 10/95 - Died 2/4/08
  

Baby girl taught me so much. In the 13 years I had her, she never ONCE hissed or growled at anybody (amazing), she had the patience and tolerance of a saint. If any other cats tried to "engage' her in a 'discussion", she'd just look at them...and walk away.

We had several "routines', of which one was after taking my shower each day, she'd come into the shower and circle me just purring, I had a little song I'd sing to her..."There she is Miz-A-mar-re-ca.. there she is ...the girl" (sing to the tune of Ms. America). She absolutely loved doing that, and sometimes her purring would actually sound like a bird cooing.

Her favorite toy was a homemade Christmas pot-holder (I think the person who made it must have stored it next to some ham). She loved playing hide-n-seek with it (hard to hide behind it). Before long it became her "blankie". I miss you very much Babygirl, your spirit lives within me, in my heart.
  
Love, Mom

DOB- 02-04-94 - Died 01-18-06

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head
In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me.
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But, as I turned to heel away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought
That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for,
So many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
Remember how I'd nudge your hand,
And poke you with my nose?
The frisbee I would gladly chase,
The bad guy, I'd "bark and hold".
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd wag my tail and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.
But, then I fully realized,
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me.
And when I thought of treats and toys,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did,
My dog-heart filled with sorrow.
But then I walked through Heaven's gate,
And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me,
From His beautiful golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity,
And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
For you see, each day's the same day,
There's no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful,
So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But good dogs are forgiven,
And now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side,
And wait right here with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.
