In Memoriam…
Pets come in all sizes, shapes, colors and
personalities. When we set about choosing a companion to join our life, we often
base our decisions on superficial characteristics and in some cases, pick them
for all the “wrong” reasons. Yet somehow, by inviting them into our homes,
caring for them, teaching them, laughing over their antics, telling them our
private worries, secrets, fears and hopes, we become a different, and
better, person.
We dedicate
this site to Cricket, our beloved cat, who died suddenly from acute renal
failure. While veterinary medicine has made tremendous strides, and our pets
are living longer and healthier as a consequence, even the best in medicine
cannot always save their lives.
This page is devoted to all those pets that have shared our lives,
sometimes for only a short while, but in doing so, have left a lasting
impact on our souls.

CRICKET
September 19, 1997
– July 12, 2006
Rest well our dear friend.
You brought so much joy and silliness to our lives; we are saddened that
your life was so short, but feel blessed to have shared the time you had.
You will remain in our hearts forever.

TEVA
January 28, 1998 -
December 28, 2011
You were our girlie dog.
As a lab you could fetch, swim, hike and romp with
the best but your true pleasure was in sharing a snack,
a sofa and a sleeping bag with us.
You taught us what it means to live life fully
even in the face of limitations;
aging with grace and never complaining.
You were the constant, the light of our lives.
You gave us such joy and friendship and
in exchange
we promised you a lifetime of love and a peaceful passing.
We will miss you every day.

you.

BLUE
sometime in 2001
– October 10, 2011
Blue was adopted from the Seattle Animal Shelter together
with his long time companion Millie in 2010. When I first met him, he
leaped into the bathroom sink, placed one forepaw on each of my shoulders
and sniffed the toothbrush sticking out of my mouth; then meowed as if to
say "Whachya do'in?" I thought to myself "What were you like as a kitten?"
Rest in peace Blue - explorer, troublemaker and friend.

Smudge
(Reuben, Ruby Chat)
May 1995 - March
11, 2010
To
our great sadness our beautiful Smudge has left us. As in all things he
followed closely behind Cleo, his lifelong companion. Smudgie was built
for comfort. He was a loving and loyal friend, always prepared to fill
an open lap or book. He was our constant companion, eager to be involved
and sometimes a tripping hazard. He was shy, gentle, and devoted. Our
home filled with humans is empty without him.
Sweet Smudgie,
we will miss your wonderful, easy purr, your head-butts and snuggles
that gave us so much comfort. We will hold you forever in our hearts.

Cleo (Miss
Kitten, Ninny Chat)
1993 - December 22, 2009
Lovely Cleo
was a kitty with the utmost decorum, always well-mannered, carefully
groomed, and carrying herself with her tail held high. She was regularly
mistaken for a kitten, a compliment she relished about which she was
rather vain. She was an athlete, a playful and fierce huntress. She was a
friend to cats, dogs, and humans alike. She was tender and protective of
her family. To us, she was perfect.
Dearest Cleo,
we miss your elegant presence,
your tappy toes and victory cries.
Your grace
lives on in our hearts

SASHA
October
14, 1993 - December 2, 2008
On
December 2nd, our beloved companion of 15 years, Sasha, was
peacefully relieved of her old age infirmities.
For
8 years, Sasha was also the Big Sister to her little sister,
Shadow.
Now,
our family of three will mourn, but will also rejoice.
Sasha has been liberated from the discomfort, disability, and
disease she had increasingly come to know these last few months.
We
celebrate her rich, full life, and will always hold her near &
dear in our hearts and treasured memories.
We
love & miss you Sasha! |

SOCKEYE
After 18
years of summer times at an Alaskan coastal fishing camp; of wintertime
toe-warming vigilance for those napping on the couch; of battling the
arch-nemesis Norwegian Forest Cat; and of passionate love-hate emotion for
the Orange Fluff -- Sockeye was lovingly ushered out of her deaf and wobbly
old age at home by kind hearts and gentle hands from Hawthorne Hills
Veterinary Hospital on November 21, 2007.
The Kodiak voles don't miss
you
Socks, but we do. |
