The Legacy Vision
At Legacy Pet Crematorium (formerly Envirocin) we believe a pet is part of the family. We hope that you – the loving pet owner – will agree that our new name and insignia embodies all that you have come to expect of us over the past twenty years – Dignity, Integrity and Compassion. We resolve to do all that we can to live up to these values. |
This Wall came about by 'accident' when we lost our beloved Meggie. It seems to be a very special place and in some way helps with our healing process and we can visit our beloved furbabies in private. They are all in very good company with other animals that have left and will never be forgotten and always have a place in our hearts. Thank you Meggie for creating this for us.
If your beloved friend has crossed the bridge send us a photograph and a few words in their honour. We will post it for you. These can be sent to admin@fods.co.za

In honour of all animals who walked with us and enriched our lives
Onyx, my sweet boy - Our hearts ache for you, our house is quiet without you and I don't know how we will ever over come losing you. You were our main man, our fur clown and very much the entertainer. Forever in my heart - I love you boy !
RIP 1 January 2016 - 17 January 2020.

Words can't really describe this dog. She was just such a crazy ball obsessed, happy girl. We will always remember the lessons we learnt from her and the funny moments we shared.xxxxx

When the doctor told me you were sick when we returned from xmas vacation, I told myself that the day u stopped eating was the day I said goodbye my darling Pumba. That day came on 30 April 2018 and yet I was still not prepared to let u go. U have been such a big part of our lives and u will always be remembered for your quirky engergetic character and insatiable hunger. Everyday I come home and still expect to see you there my boy. U have left a gaping hole in our hearts. Rest in peace and know that u were loved dearly.

RIP my sweet Lily girl. I saw in your eyes this morning that you had had enough. We fought as hard as we could baby. The sweetest and most gentle piggy i know. You loved the puppies and i am going to miss your cuddles and oinks so much! You were just a pig as some would say but you were my special girl, you were always the first one to come for cuddles and be by my side as much as you could. I miss you so much already! Bye Bye Lily Loo. XXX

Today was a sad day for us all. We had to make the heart wrenching decision with our vet to let dear Foreman cross over rainbow bridge.
The limp that started in his leg turned out to be an aggressive cancer that had already spread to his lungs. He would not have managed on 3 legs due to his terrible arthritis and then chemo etc. It would have all been to much for him and we couldnt bear to cause him so much pain.
Oh Foreman. We will miss you so much. You have been with us so long here that you and your sister Bella became lifers. You loved walks and the playfield and always greeted us with a wagging tail and smiling face.
RIP Handsome boy! We will love you forever.
|
My heart is broken two babies in 5 days. Kinny you have been with us for 11 years. You now join your brother Laaitie. So so sorry my boy. We will always love you — feeling heartbroken.
|
Goodbye my Molly. It is appropriate that today is a grey and overcast one. Its a reflection of the heart's sadness when a love is gone. Thank you for coming into my life and for trusting me like you have for the last year and 3 months. I wish you could have told me your story of your life from before. I wish I could have seen you as a puppy. I wonder who your humans were, and what happened that you were found on the streets. But I am grateful that I knew you as an old girl in the last months of your life, and that I could be with you today as you eased over the Rainbow Bridge. Your snowy face, your solemn stare, your wild heartbeat that always used to make me worry. All the many parts of you. We will miss you - Love Me and the Zoo X

Missing you soooooooooooo much tonight my Mason angel. Gone too soon my baby.... almost five years and it still feels like yesterday.... □
RIP my beautiful Boy Blake no more pain □

With immense sadness, we said our final farewell to our precious friend, Tina, yesterday morning. Ron & I were devastated when she died suddenly at home. She was 12 years old, and although her health had not been what it should have been, she was still working well at doggy school and enjoying her walks, and playing with Honey & Rocky and her toys before she died. We will miss her for many years to come. Play happily on the rainbow bridge my best furry friend - you will wag your tail in my heart forever.
|
My Bailey - with her sister Cora my first foster failures. Thank you for 11,5 years of love and being our lazy sunshine dog. Yesterday I had to let you go to Heaven but you will live forever in my heart.

This post is not for sympathy: it is to pay tribute to the most wonderful friend and soul-mate any person could ever wish for who left me yesterday to go and look after Elli.
.
BENTLEY, you were the MOST AMAZING AMBASSADOR for your breed. Your were sometimes like a bull-in-a-china-shop, a clown, a huggable oaf - yet always majestic!! One of the first pictures of you was lying in a huge tyre chewing some paper you had "stolen" - Letsie Fischer.
Here you are at 6 weeks, 6 months, 9+ years and now at peace: almost 10 years and a half. □□. The irony being that exactly 30 years ago yesterday Panda, my very first Rottweiler, also left me.
I know I could write a book of all your wonderful qualities, but the VERY BEST quality was your unfailing loyalty and your enormous presence in my life. No words can describe how you are, and will be forever, missed by all who loved you, ME especially. LOVE you my Big Boy, BENTLEY♥ <3 <3

Rip sweet old boy, it won't be the same
without you □ you fought so hard □
my mommy is waiting for you □□□
In memory of my sweet girl Kesia, today is one year since you went over the Rainbow bridge, you were my best friend. Memories will remain with me forever, someday we will meet again. Love you forever. 01/10/2004 - 05/08/2016

In memory of my beautiful boy Schmeichel 22/07/2009 – 06/06/2017
Such a special, beautiful, crazy boy, I loved you every minute I had the privilege of sharing with you. You were so brave through illness, so loving even when you weren’t feeling good, so protective over me and such a clown most of the time! Your “rocking horse” run was famous and I loved to watch it when we went for walks. Your nose always at my elbow while I’m preparing food, you following me around the house literally like my shadow, keeping me company on the loo , who knew I could actually go without you! You loved to watch TV especially when there were dogs on, perching on the couch and watching for hours. Your eyes, no words to describe your soulful eyes.
You left a gaping hole in my life and my home. Both your physical presence and your incredible energy are missed every second of the day. I never thought I would get over losing you but I know we will meet again over Rainbow Bridge. Love you forever my very special boy xxx
|
Our darling Tumbles taken away from us so soon & unexpectedly after 8 years. We will never ever forget you & will always love you. Thank you for all the love & good times. We will miss you till we meet again. May you rest in peace.
|
12 short years and you were gone forever. My heart still breaks now, a year later, every time I think of you. There have been other dogs before and since but none who dug so deep into my heart. You were so affectionate, so incredibly loyal, so perceptive, so sensitive, so tender-hearted yet so brave. You will be and missed forever, my darling Nanuk.
Education and my love for you was not enough to save your life Chocolate.

Today has not been a good day as I say goodbye to my old boy Aragon. Run free precious boy no more pain and suffering. My heart is broken this has been such a hard decision for me to make but the past 2 weeks I saw you getting more and more tired and confused and struggling to breathe. Fly free with the eagles and say hello to all my other fur babies and tell them I love them till we meet again. Love you my precious boy Arnie

Billy Knox and I had to say goodbye to one of our oldest, nearest and dearest 4 legged friends and children. A 1 in a MILLION dog that we were lucky to have in our lives. Zeus (aka Chop/ Choppie) always gave his all in everything he did to the very end!

Today there is another Angel in Heaven. RIP Lindt our precious boy. The drip made no difference to your blood levels. You were trapped as a feral and came with your colony to live in our cottage enclosure and tamed in no time. You knew lovies, kisses and never had to go to sleep on an empty tummy again. We will miss all your talking as you were a great talker and what a character! The enclosure will not be the same without you. We are devastated.

My Teddy boy died this evening. He wouldn't eat today so took him to vet. He had a tumor on his kidney which ruptured a blood vessel. He had to be PTS. RIP my dear darling Teddy boy.

The lose of a good buddy. RIP MICKY MOO MOO(aka)mick jagged. You were loved and will be missed.
Our dear Lucky crossed to the rainbow bridge today. We are all heartbroken, but what a journey it has been. Roll on my special boy.
As I held you one last time and said goodbye from your 3 moms and dad, you wagged your tail until your final breath. I know we will never part , for you Lucky Lux, Lulu, Nunu you will live inside us, your buried in my heart and left your tracks on it. I know I will see you and your brothers and sister again. Love you
|
Rest in peace special boy!. Stuawie, you weren't with us long, but you shared the most beautiful bonds with all of us! Please promise me that you'll watch us here, especially your incredible mom! Love you lots!
|
I said goodbye to you, my darling Sheilagh yesterday. In the 4 years and 8 months we had together we managed your fear aggression (it only took 18 months to integrate you with some of my chilled dogs), we undertook a programme at Animal Health and Hydro (acupuncture and underwater treadmill) to eleviate joint pain from elbow and hip dysplasia and we were a winning team. But after a scan and bile acid test revealed 2 tumours of 9cm on the liver (normal size 2cm) I made you a promise not to let you suffer. You passed in surroundings that you knew and loved, at AHAH with the awesome Tanya Grantham. I held you surrounded by peace, compassion and calmness. Until we meet again, my darling Sheilagh, I will celebrate the honour of being your mom.

TRIXIE
2003 - 4 April 2016
R.I.P.
You were in my life for a brief time of almost 18 months, yet it seems so much longer. You arrived with Tuffy, bewildered and frightened; you gradually settled and became an integral part of my little family, the rowdy pack of dogs that I am blessed with.
Your feisty determination when "warring" with the neighbour's dogs at the boundary wall; your mischievious bark as you "attacked" the wheelie bin; your protective defence of Tuffy; your incredibly silky coat and the shy way you enjoyed hugs ...... these memories will remain with me forever.
You will be missed, feisty little foxie. You carry with you a part of my heart and soul. Travel softly, little one, until we meet again, someday....

Dear sweet Josh crossed the Rainbow Bridge last night. He passed peacefully in my arms. We are all heartbroken. We love you so much big boy & no words will ever be able to express how much you will be missed.

Just had to share my special Dino ... The absolute best friend I could ever have had the privilege of touching my life ... loyal, loving and my shadow ... you never ever left my side ... and there isn't a day that goes by when I don't think of you ..
May you always RIP my special Beanie xx

Ch Saxony Editor In Chief HD00 ED00 CGC
19/09/2004 - 15/03/2016 My precious Ed, Editori, Poodle, Pooodal, Poodalis, Granny Dog. Sweet, confident and friendly to all. A showdog, mother and most importantly my most loved shadow. Ed was orphaned at birth and hand-raised. In a bittersweet twist of fate years later she was a surrogate mother to an orphan litter of blue pups, which she accepted without batting an eyelid. She was my one and only special cherished girlie and I will miss her every day. I am so grateful for the 11.5 years I had with her. Thank you to Weltevreden Vet for always giving her such good care and especially to Vicki for helping Ed to the other side with such love, compassion and dignity. Ed slipped away peacefully on her bed with her head in my arms yesterday. A piece of my heart went with her, but I know it's safe with her. RIP my beloved Ed. |
My beautiful Ginger how do I find the words to say how sorry I was today to have to take you and say goodbye. Over seven years ago you were my first Feral kitty that I looked after and the reason I do what I do today. You graced the Hyperama with your presence known as "The Man" to the staff and to us you were a special cuddle bunny giving us so much love and always talking and kneading the ground as you waited to be fed. Your body was a skeleton and you allowed me to pick you up and put you in the basket for your final journey. We will never forget you and feeding will be that much harder knowing you are no longer there. RIP Gingie ginger our special man we will miss you forever x
Last night I said farewell to one of my best friends. Thank you Cheyenne for being such a loyal companion. For always being at my side. You are now with your daddy, Shadow and sister Ishka. Mummy will miss you so much. Thank you everyone for all your prayers and to Blue Hills Vets for there unbelievable care and compassion.

"The best dog ever died today. Here is my sweet Tacos snoozing on the sofa just a few days ago. I love you and miss you so much. My heart aches."

LUKE
At the age of two days, I first saw you… the smallest and youngest of the litter of 4… It was love at first sight as I chose you as my new puppy.
With a lot of love and great cuddles you crept even deeper into my heart. No, you weren’t the ball crazy jock like your brother but I love you just as much.
For 8 years and 8 months you were part of me and my family and your memory will be deeply cherished my Lukie baby.
May God’s angels welcome you with all Heaven’s love and affection.
And day our paths will cross once more in God’s garden and then we will have eternity to share in God’s presence.
May you rest well my kiddo and thank you for your companionship. You will always have a piece of my heart.
|
RIP my treasure. My mind knows you are in a better place and that you're at peace. I just wish I could explain that to my heart. Missing you so badly and love you always.

Trixie, my sweet little Trixie Trix, you were an amazing little Maltese, and you had the heart and soul of a Rottweiler, especially when it came to protecting me and your Oma.

Pinky your "twin sister" says that you must wait for her, and don't eat all the chicken, leave some for her. Lots of Love always Jen and Oma

Today we had to say goodbye to BIS BISS Ch Barleywood Autumn Lad of Goldenzauer CGC - my ONCE IN A LIFETIME DOG!
Wesley - thank you for a wonderful 12 years! You have been the funniest, craziest, most amazing dog with the best character and personality. You have saved my life a couple of times and today was my turn to save yours .... and I failed ....I could not save you.....you got your angel wings today .... goodbye my special boy....until we meet again....
We were not able to do anything for Wesley....the staff at Fourways Vet has been amazing, thorough and supportive through everything. Special thanks to all the vets who tried everything possible for Wesley. Thank you for Carla Mancini for her help & support and for Wayne for being there with me and Wesley.
Thank you for everyone for their kind messages of support.

Precious precious boy, know that you were deeply loved and will be loved and missed forever. Chance, your spirit was strong but your body was weak. I am so happy that the last year and 3 months of your life was filled with love, good food and comfort. That was all I could give you. No more pain over Rainbow Bridge my sweet boy. RIP Chancie xxxx — feeling broken. Lisa

Our baby Troy!
No words will ever ease this emptiness you have left. You were our boy. Our baby. Our home became incomplete the day you were taken away. It's been 3 months... yet everyday feels like the tragic day we lost you. You will forever be the core of our hearts. Mommy and I love you Troy. We miss you so much. I'm sure your with God doing your "crocodile" and dragging your blanket through Heaven.

Tragically and suddenly, in the blink of an eye you were gone.
We love you and we miss you!
You were our mad little mutt .... but you were OURS!
Here is beautiful Bella with her 'mommy' .... I was always referred to as her 'granny' by her 'mommy'. Bella was like a grandchild to me .... I am going to miss her as that, not as a dog.

May you rest in peace, little girl. You were much loved by so many people – your two mommies and everyone who had the privilege to meet you and experience your loving heart during your long and joyful life.

You leave a huge empty space in our souls.
We will all meet again across the Rainbow Bridge.

Our best love always – mommy, daddy and the wild pack

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.
R.I.P Houston, your mommy and daddy are going to miss you.

R.I.P. my dear Ruthie. Thank you for 11 wonderful years of friendship and unconditional love. I love you and one day we will see each other again.
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.

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.

GUS: 31 August 2003 to 1 October 2012. Rest in Peace, our beautiful, loving, ever-happy boy. There are not enough tears in the world to mourn your passing; there are not enough words in the world to describe the joy with which you blessed us. You will always and forever be a part of me.

In loving memory of my precious boy who has gone over the rainbow bridge.......

Jake the (ex) Hood who went to the RB on 29 August 2012. I can only thank him for 3 lessons he "taught" me: be yourself, be yourself, and be yourself. He is firmly entrenched in my soul.

Dizzy - see beautiful tribute next to picture. It really is so true that often the dog rescues us, not the other way around!

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 ♥
Kaiyo 27 May 2002 - 12 July 2012 Rest in peace my beautiful boy, may you feel no more pain. A piece of my soul belongs to you ♥
Today we said goodbye to our precious Kamchatka Vagabond aka VAGA who at 10 years old has died of cancer. 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. You were the kindest and most lovable daughter we got to spend 10 years with. We think of you every day, and love you with all our hearts, you will always be remembered. R.I.P sweet angel. Enjoy your days at the Rainbow Bridge running like the wind like you always did. Until we meet again.
PEANUT MY BABY..I scatter your ashes on the wind, and hear the a thousand angels sing... they sing of joy like the emerging dawn, on the beautiful day when you were born, of the happiness we shared together which we knew would not last forever .. i scatter you ashes on the wind and hear a thousand angels sing of our love throughout the years... and through eye, misty with tears I release your spirit through there is no end... you are at rest my dearest and bestest friend.. in my heart you will remain.. mommy loves you little pea xxx RIP 11/03/2011
This is my Ruben. Photo was taken 3 days before he got poisoned. Oh my gosh, he was such a happy chappy and it took me nearly forever to get him still for this photo. Always running around and just being happy. I still miss him so much. 2yrs has passed and the hole in my heart stays the same. but i know one day he will be waiting for me and we will cross the rainbow bridge together.
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." (Anon) 
RIP mommy's angel!!! you were taken to soon, You will always be in my heart :(
My friend's dog Beebob, suffered a stroke on the 13th August 2011 ... we will never forget you ♥
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.
Sabre you really were our ”very special boy”. I will never forget you and the joy you brought to all who knew you … my greatest wish is that I may meet you again in a future life and that, in the meanwhile, you will find great happiness. Love you forever xxx Lotte & Richard
"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.
Milo....who was with us for nearly 16 years! We sincerely miss you!
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. She was a neurotic and anxious cat her whole life and loved only me. If any of my body parts touched a bed or a couch, she miraculously appeared and curled up against me. I miss my girl every day...

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 ♥
Mergie - you truly where mans best friend.. well you definately where my best friend. Still miss you
Patches, ek mis jou my liefie....
B-A... jy sal altyd my beste vriend wees!!!

"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. Laura Hickman 
I know this is doggy page, but please may i post this photo of my darling girl, Freeway (Yes, she was found wandering along the motorway in Cape Town). She passed away on the 10th July 2009 at the age of 19 yrs and 3 months. Always thinking of you

Dear Milo...1st I want to tell you what a huge impact u had on my life and how regret not saying goodbye to you that day you went off to the vet to have your babies - I really thought you were coming home with them...the 4 little girls you left us r so beautiful and one, even has your name - each time I look at them I see you in some way...and I know there are times you pass by - just to see how we all are - - - until we meet again "My Girl"
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.
My AD... Your heart and even bigger personality will never be forgotten.

We lost you both last year and our hearts were shattered into a million pieces. We miss you dearly and we always will. I will always love you my children and no one will ever take your place in our hearts. We will see you again on the other side when we come home ! Love you always ....your dad xxx

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. Jade Celliers – 1st November 2010 Kishma Celliers – 15th November 2011 |
