Year 2006 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "O".

Onyx, my dear and best friend.
I miss you so much already.

Two days ago when you took your last breath, I never knew how bad this would hurt. I still listen for your footsteps following me to the kitchen door in the morning. And I turn and you're not there.

I don't know what I am going to do without you. I love you so much and look forward to seeing you again at Rainbow Bridge.

I hope you like your new home and are making new friends.
Please be nice to the others, they are missing their mommies and daddies too.
They need your love that you are so good at giving.

Your extended family has called from all over to send their best to all of us.
You were truly an amazing dog and loved by all that knew you.
Mommy, Collin, and Michaela miss you very much too.
The children are too young to understand fully what has happened but we will help them through this sad time.
Thank you for always being there for me and helping me through the bad times.
You were my only friend and as bad as times were then, they were always great with you in my life Onyx. Thank you for tolerating my moments when I was impatient with you or not paying attention to you. You taught me what unconditional love is.
Thank you for that.
I truly believe God led us to each other and we will be together again in heaven.
So until then, keep the sun on your face, and your back in the grass and enjoy your heaven.
I'll see you soon boy.

We love you and you are truly missed,
Daddy, mommy, Collin, Michaela, and all of your family and friends.

9 years ago you came into my life, Ophelia, and I have loved you ever since.  
To say goodbye to you was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.  
Words cannot even begin to express how much I loved you.  
We were attached at the hip and your constant companionship is something I will treasure forever.  
You will forever be "my baby", and my "pretty girl".  
Thank you for loving me in a way no one ever could.  
I will miss you baby, but you will be in my heart forever.  
You will always be my best friend.  
Always know that I had to let you go because I loved you way too much to let you suffer.  
I'll hold you again someday and until then I'll keep those wonderful kisses of yours in my heart forever.

You were my best buddy I will never forget you, Daddy loves you with all his heart, I'm so sorry please have a nice sleep you are no longer in pain.

When we lost you, Oscar, our beloved Newfie, it felt like a piece of our hearts was ripped out. You were our best Big Moose, and we loved you so! We will miss your Lifeguarding at our swimming pool, and how you "Refereed" when our other dogs were play-fighting. It's was so hard to let you go, but you were very ill and we didn't want to prolong any suffering. We had you in our lives for 10 wonderful years, but it never seemed enough for us. We hope you now have peace from your suffering and will cross the Rainbow Bridge wagging your big ol' Newfie tail!  
Love,  
Gail and Jack-your human mom and dad
