Faithful Friends

Millie Mae - 3/8/97 - 25/11/07

I got my Millie Mae as a wee tiny puppy. She was born on the 8th March, 1997 and had the most adorable eyes you have ever seen.

A smooth coated red Chow Chow, she was my love and my life. My best friend and my family. She was intelligent and brave. She could almost talk.

She saved my life on at least three occasions. Please forgive me Millie that I could not do the same for you my darling. I’ll never forget your screams of pain as you lay dying in the car as I tried to get you to the vet in time…but I was too late my love. You were cruelly taken away from me, before your time, and now I just don’t know how to cope without you being there.

I look at your photo every day and I don’t know how to stop the tears, my love. I wish you were here. I love you my Millie darling and I always will. I truly hope there is a Rainbow Bridge so we will never be separated again.

‘Arnie’ misses you too Millie - he wouldn’t eat until recently and just follows me around quietly. He puts his paw on my foot and says, “I miss her, mum.” I tell him I know as we sit together and cry.

Sadly she passed away in our arms on new years day. Beloved faithful
darling girl. She was so sick, but hung in there so long to make me happy.
I miss her so so much, but I thank her every day for the love, happiness and
laughter she brought to our family, we were so lucky to have her. She will
be remembered as the fun loving, cool, curious girl that she was.

Kind Regards,
Teresa Stancato

Mitch was a beautiful and very friendly german shepherd cross. He lived
for many years in Kinglake - roaming around the 5 acres with his sister
LuLu (who passed away this year at 16 yrs).

Mitch was born on Valentine’s day 14/2/1991 and died on 7/10/2007 -
making him 16 1/2 years old. Mitch spent many years working in Aged
Care Home as a Pet Therapy dog and was loved by all for his kind
and generous nature. He did not like to swim and only went swimming
when he was 6 years of age!!

He loved his food and riding in the car - he was my dearest friend and I
cared and loved him dearly - in the later years he suffered badly with
Cushings Disease and I used to carry him out each day to go for his little
walks - he struggled with small steps - ballerina steps my dad called them.
But he loved being outside each day - it was the hardest thing I ever
had to do - but Mitch had a very large tumour growing and he never let
on or complained.

He passed away on sunday afternoon 7/10/2007 being cuddled and
held all night as he could no longer stand up.

I miss you dearly and with all my heart - you were faithful, loyal,
loving and special and I am proud that I could be there to the very end
with you - bless your little soul, Mitch you are with Lulu now and I
miss you both very much.

I am so proud and honoured to have known such devotion - you
were there for me in my terrible times of hurt and abandonment. you
will never be forgotten my little furry friends.

Love and hugs ROSE.

Ricki - my wonderdog.

Terrier Cross, female, aged 13.5

Came home with me from RSPCA July 1995, and spent each moment of the passing years just wanting to be with me and do whatever it is I was doing. If I was walking, she’d come, of course. But so too, when I sat, or gardened, or slept or showered. She sometimes went to work with me too.

Ricki has been my constant companion for such a long time; I still see her little face everywhere.

Thank you, my beloved pooch, for your generous companionship and love.

Sleep sweetly.

Our little Angus, a beautiful guinea pig , died on New Year’s Eve at 9.30pm.

He was only 16months old and full of spunk. He died at home with all of us around him; a new angel to play in heaven.

We love you forever Angus, sweet little boy.
