Pet Tributes

I had a special relationship with Missy. She lived in Texas and was my mom’s dog for many years. We adopted Missy and brought her with us to Colorado when my mom passed away. She was the last link to my mom. Dr. Lori gave me the time and space to grieve my mom again…

Tango was in our lives for such a short 3 years. He was an older cat when we adopted him.  I was not sure I wanted an another older cat. We had recently lost our 18 and 21 year old fur babies. My husband said older cats need homes too… Tango quickly bonded to my…

15 years ago I found the most beautiful red toy poodle running the streets of Houston, Texas. She ran up to me and pretty much asked for help. She was 3 years old, a level 2 starvation, had parasites and was very neglected. Both of our words changed after that day even though I clearly…

My dearest Sassy came to me when she was just 4 weeks old. Her momma was a barn kitty and abandoned the litter. She was so precious and sassy and I was so happy to be her new momma. She enjoyed catching bugs and bringing them inside for us. Dragonflies were her favorite catch because…

Charlie loved to explore and I am so glad that he wandered into my life. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him and miss him terribly. It’s been 6 weeks and I’m still grieving his loss. I wrote this silly little poem for him: Charlie is his name and I’m so glad…

We lost our little buddy Mario May 20, 2018.  We rescued Mario as a stray at about 1 year old, and he was our best friend for 20 years, living to be 21 years old. He was a wild child, but grew up to be a big butter cup- a living teddy bear.  He was…
