                       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.




         Our Wall of Remembrance  
         In honour of all animals who walked with us and enriched our lives
​

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

This is my Henry. The best friend I have ever had in my whole 47 years of existence. I had him at my side for 15 years. I raised him from a tiny puppy. Henry and I had so many adventures together. He touched so many lives, and loved everyone. He was even my ESA. Everything I did was for him. He was my little boy, my son even.
 
He passed away recently. It has been a couple weeks now, and honestly it gets worse and worse. I feel alone, hollow, unbearably sad and cry constantly. I cannot go 5 minutes without losing my composure and going into a sobbing fit. This has been beyond devastating. I lost what gave my existance happiness, love, friendship, meaning. Him and I had a bond like no other. We were only happy and content when together. When we were together, it was perfect. All the days bads and horrors melted away, and all was wonderful. Henry was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. 
 
He died in my arms while I was trying to get into the clinic. We reached the top step and that was all. His little heart stopped, and I panicked and lost all rhyme and reason. The life left his little body, and with that a part of me died as well. All just seems lost without him. 
 
Everything seems alien and cold without him with me. I honestly do not think I am ever going to be"ok". Losing him has destroyed me inside. I hope that one day I can think about him and smile instead of going into a deep depression like I have been. That will probably take a long long time for me. Henry was everything to me, I lived to care for him and give him all my love and keep him safe and happy. His favorite things were long car rides with me and walking together, meeting new friends both dogs and people, and just being outside with me. He even liked pulling nightcrawlers out of the ground after a rain, just to look at them.
He was so fun and interesting. -Christopher Geigner

Eureka Oliver Twist 2/3/2008 - 25/4/2022 Darling Ollie, God made you specially for me but He wanted you back. Giving you back is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I have asked St Francis of Assisi to keep you in his arms until we meet again. I will miss you every day of my life. All my love, Mommy

​Today is one week without my little granny girl and the pain in my heart, body and soul ebbs and flows, together with my uncontrollable tears. I have questioned (did I do enough for her, could I have done more, did I do something wrong, did she know how how much I tried, does she know that I am sorry that I left her suffer too much at the end, but I thought she would bounce back as she did so many times before, does she know how much I loved her and how much she is missed?). I have eaten my weight in chocolate and taken tablets to kill the pain and make me sleep (which haven’t helped), I have wept more tears that I thought I had in me, I have had moments when I have felt totally paralysed with grief. I don’t want to sleep, I don’t want to be awake… I don’t want to be anywhere in the cottage as I see her everywhere and the spaces where she would be hurt too much. I am battling a cracked rib too (my girl left me with that when it snapped as I swiftly twisted to save her from falling off the car seat before we left for the her last trip to the vet, but I wear it bravely like a wounded soldier and to be honest, the pain pales in comparison to my heartache). I am relieved that my Sammy Bear is once more in perfect form, her suffering is over and she fought a brave fight against both kidney failure, IBD and old age. I am so proud of my girl. To her last day, she still wanted to go for a her daily walk (I carried her but she still hopped out of her carrier back to have a sniff about). At 16 years and 8 months, she lived a wonderful life… all on her terms. “What Sammy wanted, Sammy got”, and she was my little trusty steed. The past three years (5 days short of her kidney failure diagnosis in 2019), was a journey of note. I never left her side, I researched, I Googled, I made firm friends battling the same horrid disease and did my level best to help my girl. The past year (diagnosed with IBD in January), the level of care ramped up (today is a year ago since I left the cottage - bar a vet check up once a month (or more this past month), and the past two months the angst, worry, care and still hope, were off the charts. But we forged through with courage and God-given strength. Sammy taught me patience, gratitude, and unconditional love. Her mission on earth is done, and she although she is gone from my physical world, she will live on in my heart - now and for always. I miss my mommy’s girl! PIP (Play In Peace) Sammy Bear. ❤️

 Words can’t express the love we had for you, our special Duff Duff.  We didn’t have enough time with you but the three years we had were the brightest.  We’ll miss your clownish antics, your conversations, the hucklebutting and the ghost walking.  Our memories of you are plenty and we’ll treasure them. Play in peace noodle doodle and although it was hard to say goodbye, it was for the best.

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.

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.
Picture
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.
Picture
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

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 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.

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.

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!
Picture
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.
Picture
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....

2.4.16 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.

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

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.

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 ♥

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)

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.

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.
