Jack Sparrow, December 2003 - February 2 2017 Small Cam

I spent 14 amazing years with my baby boy Jack.We went through so much together he and I.He always loved me even in the worst of times when he was hurting in the end he still tried to comfort me.He lost his leg to cancer at 13 years old and he tried so hard to be strong and follow me everywhere I went.I look to the sky every night and I call out his name in hopes that he hears me.I tell him I miss him and I love him.The hardest part was bringing him to the vet and being told I needed to let him go because he was suffering.I didn't even get one last day to do something special.I brought my baby boy in alive and whole and I brought him home in a little box with his name.A box of ashes.I just want to hold him but he's gone.He will forever be in my heart and he taught me what true love is.I love you Jack and if my love could have saved you,you would still be here.

My Jackson was everything.  He was kind, loving, and loyal. I will never forget the way he snuggled up to my face. The look he gave me when he wanted to sit in my lap. He was such a great friend and I will love him until I die. Jackson, I love you so much and I will see you soon!

Jakers, 06/15/2001 - 09/08/2017 Small Cam

For exactly 16 years and 2 weeks, Jakers was my constant companion and best friend. He is no longer by my side, but he will remain in my heart for as long as I live. Good bye my little buddy. Until we meet again, your Daddy will love and miss you every day!


Jasper Joe Johnson, 9/3/99 - 7/18/17 Small Cam

My precious Jasper.  It's been a little over a week since you went to the Rainbow Bridge.  I miss you more than I could have ever imagined.  Especially in the mornings.  We had a routine for a very long time.  I almost don't know what to do with myself.  You always beat the alarm - and it sounded just like you were saying "now?".  After breakfast, you helped me fix my hair.  For the last week it has felt like I'm just going through the motions.  It's too quiet.  I know it would make you happy to know that Harley has been looking for you.  The first morning he sat in the living room and kept looking down the hall.  And poor Lucky.  He has cried and cried for you.  He loved cuddling with you.  I've missed that too.  I keep waiting for you to jump in my lap.  We had a wonderful, long life together.  I have so many wonderful memories of you.  I could tell you were special when you were a tiny kitten.  I'm so blessed that you and your sister grew up here.  You are with her again, and your mommy.  My three little crows are together again.  I didn't want to lose you, but I couldn't let you suffer.  I loved you too much to let that happen.  I miss you  Jappy Joe. You'll always be in my heart. 


Jazzie, 08/01/2003 - 08/16/2017 Small Cam

Yesterday, August 16, 2017, we said goodbye to our dear sweet, gentle, dignified Jazzie.  He and his brother, Chai, came to us in April 2007 from a pet rescue.  It was love at first sight.  When we met at their foster home, they came up to me and purred and meowed and said "take me home with you".  My husband, Mike and I gave "the boyz" all of our love and kindness and devotion.  They never knew a harsh word or an act of meanness.  Everyone loved them.  They gave us so much joy and laughter.  I have more pictures of my cats than I do of my grandchildren!  But earlier this year, we discovered Jazzie had arthritis and it was causing him discomfort.  So, we got medication from our wonderful veterinarian.  However, in mid-July, he started to limp and we took him back to the vet.  X-rays showed a large mass in his lung and a boney mass on his hip.  A visit to a veterinary oncologist revealed it was cancer.  We decided to do palliative care and keep him as pain-free as possible.  But on Monday, he took a turn for the worse and the veterinarian said it was time for us to say goodbye.  I took off work this week to spend with Jazzie.  We sat on our couch, he slept most of the time but I talked to him, Chai took naps with him and we told him how much we loved him.  Yesterday, it was obvious it was his time.  Last night, our veterinarian came and helped him cross over. Our hearts are completely broken and all I can do is cry.  Chai is also visibly sad and not the playful clown he usually is.  But we will eventually be OK.  Jazzie left a hole that can never be filled.  He was truly a special cat.  We have been so blessed to share our lives with him.  Below is a "Bro Hi-5"  Jazzie is on the right of the photo.  


JJ, 01/03/2003 - 05/21/2017 Small Cam

JJ,
I love you more than you could ever know. Mommy and Hannah miss you every single day that you aren't here. I miss hearing you snore in the middle of the night. I miss being able to snuggle with you or just have you sleep next to me. You made my life so much better than I could have imagined. I hope and pray I did right by you Bubby and I hope and pray you are pain free and happy. I love you JJ and I always will.


Josie Ann Schardt, 10/12/2010 - 1/29/17 Small Cam

Our beautiful, sweet girl.  I pray you knew how much we love you.  I know I was often impatient with you, with your boundless energy, with your silly barking but we loved you from the moment we took you into the car, so scared.  We drove 14 hours with you in the car, and you didn't even move except to go potty.  You were an amazing friend to Molly, who, even though sick, felt years younger with your 1 year old self with her.  Truth be told, we got you for Lukie, because he was so close to Molly, and we knew he would be devastated when Molly passed and we hoped that your presence would help him past that.  You were a silly, loving little pest...so smart, so full of life, so hyper that we took you to doggie day care for years so that you could play out some of your energy.  You had more toys, lots of treats, you loved sleeping on the bed with us, staying in bed in the mornings...you were the most beautiful of them all, you protected your home and us even though you were really scared.  Your loss was so sudden that we are left shocked.  You were just barking at Red outside, eating popcorn and begging, eating your afternoon food...and then you had what must have been a heart attack, although we had no idea what was wrong.  6 years and 4 months...only 5 years and 3 months of that with us.  We just thought we had years more with you, sweet girl.  You were so brave and rallied in the car, and like the trouper you have always been, you actually walked into the emergency clinic on a leash with me.  You went into cardiac arrest again and CPR didn't work, so we were shocked when they said you didn't make it.  We console ourselves with the thought that you didn't suffer for long, that you didn't know fear or sickness until the very end.  

But I don't want this to be about your passing.  I want this to be about the silly, lovely, loyal, loving girl you always were.  You made us laugh every day we knew you.  You made me feel safe by myself every day...I KNEW no one was ever coming in the door without you.  I liked hearing your fee shuffling in to be taken out to potty at night.  I love your heavy head when you rested it on us.  We will miss you more with more loss than the world can hold...we love you, sweet Jos...say hello to baby Lola and Molly.  I know we will meet again.  Love you more than life, good girl.
