Dannii We adopted Dannii on the 1st April 2011 from Dogtown, a pro-life shelter in Midrand. Dannii came in with two other dogs, German Shepherd x Siberian Husky. Young dogs. I brushed all three of these dogs and fell in love with Dannii. A very gentle soul. Dannii was not a young girl, and my husband and I wanted to give her a loving home for her remaining twilight years. Sadly we only had her for 14 months. May last year we had her PTS. This dog is an old soul, we will always love you Dannii........................... ♥ ♥ ♥

Katie died when our house burned down on 28th March...this is the only photo I have left of her. Katie is on the right, little black and white dog. She was a stray, very thin and afraid of people. At first she wouldn't come anywhere near us, even when I put food down for her. We realized that she must have been abused. Slowly, she learned to trust us, and we took her in. She was very clever...a great escape artist! Sadly, she did not escape the fire. There was a storm that night and she was terrified of thunder and lightning. She hid away in the back room and was trapped. We live in a complex, she often used to go and visit her friends, the children all loved her, some people used to keep treats especially for her! I'm glad that we were able to make the last few years of her life happy ones. Katie will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

RIP GEORGE (Condolences to Lindy Rolle and family)The Georgeous George inspired us all
Appreciating life wonders great and small
He made us take a moment and see
The wonders of life beyond you and me

The kindest eyes the softest heart
Finally dulled and finally still
But what he gave remains a part
For without George life would be nil

A PART OF GEORGE IS ALWAYS THERE

our beloved and loyal pet , Vader, as in Daarth,crossed the rainbow bridge this morning, it always so hard to say goodbye but I was with him at the end. My son rescued him from the AWS Port Elizabeth as a pup and he never believed he was a dog. He has been part of my life for the last 12 years and been a constant companion and loyal friend. He even was able to give the vet and his assistants a last growl before slipping away. We will miss you brave one. xxx

My beloved krokkie who passed away after swallowing a bee. His time was up but his beauty still lingers in my mind. He loved walkabouts in my garden and was a lovely bearded dragon. Krokkie is in this pic with the short tail. I cannot believe that he outlived my other rescued bearded dragon which I saved in July last year from living in a shoebox. I miss my krokkie.

FOR KC I give you this one thought to keep, I am with you still...I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the sweet uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone, I am with you still...in each new dawn. - American Indian Wisdom -

Gina, darling, never have we ever met such a brave girl like you. Since the first day i saw you, i fell in love with you. You were so small but feisty and a fighter from the very beginning. More than once you convinced a vet, you will get through whatever had a grip on you at the time. But this time, your body could not fight any longer and you had to let go. You taught us so much about the dogworld, you made us laugh, brought so many wonderful friends into our lives. We have shared the most pawsome times together. I know you are now united with Nacho and that he has already introduced you to all our other canine friends, that you are having a wonderful time, no pain, just health and happiness.... and if it is our time, you will be waiting for us, tail wagging, together with our boy Nacho and all the others. We love you FOREVER!! Wolf, Gustav, Maya and Biggs

This is dedicated to my precious boy Pepi who passed away the 6th of May 2012 (10.5 years old) due to cancer. He was so playful and humble - I will forever miss him... "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."

Fly, fly little wing Fly beyond imagining The softest cloud, the whitest dove Upon the wind of heaven's love Past the planets and the stars ... Leave this lonely world of ours Escape the sorrow and the pain And fly again Fly, fly precious one Your endless journey has begun Take your gentle happiness Far too beautiful for this Cross over to the other shore There is peace forevermore But hold this mem'ry bittersweet Until we meet
(cont. from previous picture)

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light ~ Celine Dion

Miss you so much my sweet, brave boy.... you gave me 10 years of pure joy and happiness....

I will always love you xoxox

My heart will always carry the long loving memories we had with you!!!! RIP 19/09/2012. A true best friend!!!

This song is dedicated to my sweet girl who passed away on the 13th of February 2012 (13 years old) ~ it feels like yesterday, miss her so much.... : "Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared beneath the stars above For a moment all the world was right
(continued from previous picture)

... How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye 
And now I'm glad I didn't know 
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance" ~ Garth Brooks

Peppa (Reborn into our home on 12 January 2000 and crossed Rainbow Bridge on the 7th October 2012) Tiny girl at the back of the cage bruised by life and disregarded. Our friend from the first day – into our arms and hearts. Oh how we love you and how we abhor the illness that stole you from the warmth and refuge of our home. We long for those round gentle eyes and clinging paws , excited bark and gentle way. Warm and at peace in our arms. We would trade anything to have you back to finish your time with us. We will never ever forget you. Our tiny friend for so many years. A witness to our lives. we love you forever precious girl.

Dizzy - see beautiful tribute next to picture. It really is so true that often the dog rescues us, not the other way around!
  • Dizzy Riley [4 November 2000 - 27 April 2011 (Born in +-1996)]
    Who rescused who? ♥ I was at a party on 4 November 2000 (a real dodgy party, held on a piece of land, in the middle of no place) and this girl came and sat with me. I was in a bad place, having just come out of a bad relationship. She did not leave my side all night. She was covered in ticks, fleas, was just a bag of bones, covered in mange and shook non-stop. When we left, I took this little girl with and we went straight to Dr Tim at BHVH, who assessed her to be +-4. I had no home of my own at the time so once she had been treated; I booked her into Broshacarm Kennels, where she was cared for until I could fetch her to take to our new place. Dizzy was a very nervous, scared little girl, but she slowly came out of her shell. She got VERY attached to me – she used to stare at me like I was some kind of god to her. She was very jealous of other dogs and would start fights … she... always came second! The amount of time she spent at BHVH getting stitched up … was often! She developed some health issues over time, ranging from Cushings and Kidney Disease, as well as severe arthritis. She was on daily meds and a special diet. My family always told me that I favoured Dizzy – I didn’t, I was just extra protective of her and we had a bond. We met when we both needed help and that means something, it means everything! To watch this girl, who was once so cheeky and full of herself, slowly succumb to old age was hard. Her health would go up and down and when it went down, it was bad! Eventually she was down more often than not, she was suffering and I had to make the awful decision :( Roxy passed a month after Dizzy. I am so honoured that my path crossed Dizzy’s and I got the opportunity of loving her, and being loved in return. RIP my Special Lizzy Dizzy ♥

Roxy (Piggy) Riley 17 October 1995 - 27 May 2011 SPCA Midrand Adoptee This girl was one helluva special! We had SUCH a bond that we would communicate without words and understand one another. It was one of the most amazing relationships I have EVER had. Roxy was the only surviving pup out of a litter and this is how she spent her 16 years. My little fighter! Old age is what took her from me and her leaving d*mn near broke me. I am so grateful that I got to spend her life with her – she made me a better person ♥

We will miss you our legend sleddog, who was a champion showdog and a wonderful, strong, consistent sleddog and a wonderful companion to us all especially Gabi who had an amazing bond with him. RIP beautiful boy, you will always be missed by your family !

Baloo, our big old boy... Although we were your 3rd owners in just your 3rd year - you changed our lives irrevocably and you were such a pleasure for us for the rest of your life. I know without a moment's doubt that you loved us unconditionally and were so proud to win the title of Tallest Dog in Stanford... I miss you with all my heart and will remember you forever and will fondly think of you every time I see an Oak Tree as you were laid to rest in the Oak Grove, together with Pani Cat.

Sammy ♥ I was in a relationship with a (abusive) guy (1993-1995). One day, on a good day, he gave me R100 to go and get Fee a dog. Off I went to Midrand SPCA (Elsje Naicker), who was at that time, sharing space with Cadeau Kennels. Sammy, a little matted, petrified soul, chose me. I drove back home, with Sam cowering on the floor in front of the passenger seat. Yes, in those days, home checks, etc. didn't happen. Sammy was clearly an abused and neglected animal. He was +-4 years old. He had a fear of men. Slowly, but surely, he came out of himself and showed every one what an amazing animal he is (was). He was my little shadow, my joy, my reason for laughing, my every thing. Due to the escallation of abuse that I was in, I made the fatal decision to get away, go overseas, temporarily. I left my Sammy (and Roxy, who I will share with you too) with my sister and her family. I had just got to the UK, when I was given the news that broke me - Sammy had been attacked by my family's neighbours dogs, he had been in hospital, fighting for his life for a few days, but the damage done was too much. I regret ever leaving him, for not having found a way to heal myself, with Sam by my side. Sammy, I loved you then, I love you now ... I will love you forever ♥

Buddy, only 3 years old and was driven over - it happened in the blink of an eye. You will always be my best friend
God Bless Our Pets

They say memories are golden
Well, maybe that is true.
We never wanted memories,
We only wanted you.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartache made a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
In our hearts you hold a special place.

(in memory of Shakira)

Sandy 05-11-2001 to 26-07-2012 Its only been two weeks and we still can't accept that you gone. So suddenly and way before your time.

Nala & Rocco, our precious Bullies tragically lost on 9th December 2008 after being attached by a swarm of bees! Still think of you every day.....you are missed!
For Faitho
 Special Friend *
I lost a special friend today
the kind you can't replace,
and looking at her empty bed
I still can see her face
...
I see the endless energy
the sparkling smiling eyes,
Not the tired, fragile friend
I had to bid goodbye

I know she's in a special place
our Lord has for such friends,
Where meadows, fields & flowers
help make them strong and whole again.

I remember how she'd run to me
to play her favorite game,
And how her ears would perk right up
When she heard me call her name

But as those precious years went by
And we both aged and grew,
I'd find her often slowing down
But we had still so much to do

Biltong and sweet treats stands out in my mind
As she would always be there to beg… ;-)

She did her guard dog duty well
Each time the doorbell rang,
Strangers surely couldn't see
My gentle friend waiting

I've noticed in the recent times
Her ears were not as sharp,
Where is that running ball of fur
The years have shown their mark

She started sleeping next to me
Was this her special clue,
Because she felt the end was near
I only wish I knew

My faitho was a special dog
I know she gave her best,
But as I looked deep into her eyes
I knew it was time, for her to rest

It will truely be a struggle
I don't know how I'll face each day,
I have to let her go I know…
But in my heart she'll always stay

This special place our Lord has made
Health and strength, wait for her there,
So with my very special friend
I'm sending all my prayers

I know she's watching over me
She'll be with me when I cry,
So with one more kiss on her beloved head
I told my Faitho Dog goodbye
+- 15 years ago from a SPCA - 23 August 2012

Molly- we will miss you and will always love you.

In June last year we lost our angel Daisy to cancer. Or at least she changed her address :-) I still think of her every day and her presence still fills our home
DO NOT WEEP

Do not stand by my grave and weep;

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am the thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight;

I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not stand by my grave and cry

I am not there ... I did not die."

My little angel peke Shaiming. We rescued her from the SPCA, she was old, deformed and not very well. But we fell in love with you immediately. You had the best of everything while we looked after you, we all fought so hard for you, but it was not to be and we had to make the difficult decision to send you to Rainbow Bridge after 3 weeks. Despite everything that had been done to you before we rescued you, you showed us how forgiving a dog can be. You were the sunshine in our lives, that is why we called you Shaiming, which means "sunshine" in Chinese. I miss you everyday my little one, but i know you are at peace now. I will never forget your precious little face.

"His name was Barri and he passed away January 2011 at the healthy old age of 15 years... Up until January that year he stayed young at heart by still continuously running up and down my mom's 16 stairs stairway at the front of her house to bark a hello or welcome to each and every person who entered the premises or passed on by. He is dearly missed and never forgotten.... The Best Friend I Ever Had!!"

Grimli Ascough (Boerboel x Mastiff x Ridgeback) You taught me how to live right into the moment, to seize that moment and cherish every second. We had a lot of good times together even in training sessions, walks and the games we played in together. You always loved a challenge and were so willing to do what I asked of you, no matter how small or big the task. Your life was cut short by people who didn't understand you or how to handle you. You were a fiesty strong-headed boy with a will to live and wanted to show the world what you were capable of.

Slinky Sandy Correia left me on the 19th of June. She was only around 12 years old, but due to severe neurological attacks we needed to end her suffering.

Dusty aka Nuffy, my very first fur-friend - I was 9 years old! We did every thing together! I even snuck her in my school bag once :) Nuffy taught me the value of relationships with animals and how much happiness it can bring to both human and animal. I treasure all she taught me and all the love she gave me. Nuffy had an awful habit of chasing cars and she managed to get out of our garden one afternoon when a truck was driving by and she was killed on impact. I was 14 years old when I learnt how a heart can be broken in to a million teeny pieces!! My dear friend, Nuffy, I love you then, I love you now - I will love you forever ♥

"In the Candle's Glow"

Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
... All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.

Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.

Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.

Knatso Boy Huggett had kidney failure and on the 3rd of July, at the age of 18, he left me for good. He was my first true love and was the coolest cat ever. He was my companion for about 17 of his 18 years and fitted in perfectly with my ever changing world. He was so easy going and took everything in his stride. I miss Knatso so very much. Everything reminds me of my sweet boy.

Spunky, You went on to wait for Shadow just a few short months ago. He was so sad without you. We can't wait to be reunited with you and all our other Fur Kids that have passed on. I can almost see you all playing and running together. Still miss you every day.

Dear Shadow, Thank You so much for giving us your best for so many years. There will always be an empty place where you used to be. But we take comfort in knowing that you are pain free now. You will always be our Puppy. See you at the Rainbow Bridge. Much Love, Your People. xoxoxox

They are Gone

You can shed tears that they are gone
or you can smile because you knew them when they lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that they were here
or you can open your eyes and see all the memories you’ve shared.
Your heart can be empty because they can’t be seen
or you can be fully grateful of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they’re gone
or you can cherish their memories and let them live on.
You can cry and lose your mind,
be empty and turn your back
or you can do what they would have wanted
smile, open your eyes, love and just go on.
