Faithful Friends

Vyvyan - died 13/09/06 aged 5yrs

Vyvyan was with me for the last 5 and half years of my life. Throughout that time she consistently offered me her unconditional love. Vyvyan was always the kind of cat that would let you know exactly what was on her mind. She was not just a cat to me, Vyvyan was my baby, she helped me grow as a person, she tought me how to love and be patient beyond all else. I lost her so suddenly, without a chance to say good-bye…… I would do anything just to hold her one more time in my arms and kiss her little head. The memory of her is forever etched in my heart as my beautiful, loving baby.

Mitzi came into our lives at just 6 wks old and stayed with us faithfully for the next 15 yrs. She was so much an important part of our lives and having to say goodbye to her is and was heartbreaking.

Mitzi had the funniest little overbite and we will never forget the number of times we laughed when we did the ‘you dirty rat’ line and her top lip would fly up and expose her gum! She loved her walks, chicken, cuddles and just sharing our daily lives. She could hear the fridge door open from miles away! She was our constant shadow everywhere we went and always wanted to be included in everything. Mitzi had the most amazing character and anyone who came across her would instantly be taken by her. Unfortunately earlier this year she was attacked by another dog and she never fully recovered.

Mitzi’s ashes now sit in pride and place in our lounge room so she will never be far away. We will never forget our special little girl who brought us so much love and laughter for so long. Rest in peace our special girl.

Stella ‘Bella’ (Kelpie x Labrador) born 4.10.92, died 15.4.06 aged 13 1/2 years.

I was 5 years old when my mum heard a puppy crying under my dads car, and when she looked she found the same puppy teenage kids were beating up the day before. Stella didn’t trust many people but to those who she knew she was most loyal. She was with me as I grew and I was there when she did, whereever I was she was right there beside me, she was someone I could trust with my life, and she trusted me with her’s. Stella was put to sleep just past 1 o’clock on 15th of April 2006, she had been fighting cancer for the last 5 months of her life and she put up a great fight but I couldn’t watch her go through it anymore. Stella loved to run, she would run until the sun went down, she loved going to the park with her mates Bonnie and Sandi even one minute before she was put down she was still bounding around, but I knew and she knew it was time to go. I looked in her eyes before I rang the vet and they said ‘I want this, I need this, but in the end its up to you’. Stella you were the star that lit up the room, but now you are the angel that looks over us, may you rest in peace chicken, mumma loves you with all her heart. No words can ever express the love I feel for you, no one will ever know how much you mean to me.

Forever in our hearts Mumma, Grandma, Dad, Dave, James, your baby sisters Lily, Maggie, new baby sister Lola and of course Bonnie and Sandi.
