Morgan had a wonderful spirit. We were only blessed to have her in our life for a short year. We adopted her at age 10 and she passed away at age 11 this past February. She was very loving, and loved to give hugs. She was scared of thunderstorms and was obsessed with playing fetch. Although, fetch always turned into "keep-away" from us and the other dogs :) Our house feels empty even with our 3 other pets, we miss her greatly.

Cheeto was the most amazing, loving cat ever! She showed love like we had never seen before. She had 12 wonderful years and we cannot thank the staff of Portage Animal Hospital enough for ALL the care and concern they had for Cheeto during her trying times of illness. She gave the unconditional love day in and day out. She knew she was
and still is loved by us.
We miss her terribly as
she left us June 25th,
2009 but the memories
are priceless.

Heart to Heart- Part One
Do you hear me? Is your aged mind processing my requests? Or are the dim distant sounds merely bouncing somewhere off to your left? They also had to take your troubled eyes. They said you would adjust. Did I ask too much of your already compromised life? Perhaps I should have let you go then, but the time wasn't right for you or for me. Will I know, or will you have to scream it in my ear? Like I must now shout my routine requests. Come-stay-sit up- over here- not there- careful - no- good dog. Every command- a challenge- a question. Do you hear me?
Still, your tail wags when I come home. Your sightless shaggy face follows my scent. You respond to the faint sounds as I approach. You're content when you're snuggled close by my side. You nuzzle my neck when I whisper in your ear how much you're loved. I'll do what I promised when you're ready to go. I will hear you. I'll know when that dreaded time is here. I know you will tell me. Heart to Heart. |
Heart to Heart- Part Two
The time has come. The struggle is almost through. Your message is clear. I will do as I have promised. For you - not for me.
You will suffer no more. You will go where you can run and chase. Where there is no pain- no confusion- no darkness. Where those who have gone before you will be there to greet you. Where there is only fun, treats, toys and long walks in vivid color.
Sixteen years is not enough for me. But this is not about me- it's about you. It's about trust, loyalty and promises. You nuzzle my neck as I whisper to you one more time how much you're loved. Your body relaxes; your spirit is released. Your light fades too quickly in my arms. Now we are truly bound for eternity heart to heart.
