playing and happy. Forever in my heart.

KARYN EUSSE,
11/30/2006 - 10/30/2017
Karyn we will never forget you will always be present in our
lives:
From the moment I saw you and put my eyes on you, I knew you were
going to be the companion of my days. You were just a puppy two
months old, when I came to my life, when I decided to buy you and
bring you from that country so far away where you were born; You
made a journey of more than four hours of travel to get to this
country, you went through many customs procedures and airlines to
get well to your new life and your new home.
From the moment I saw you I knew that together we will be at all
times, and that's how it was until the day of your departure, you
gave me the opportunity to have you in my arms even in your last
moments of life. Your departure from this land, I left a great
void in my life, because you left when I needed you the most; to
be able to feel your presence in my life after the departure of my
beloved mother, and now: you also left me, leaving my soul empty
and my heart shattered by your absence and that of my beloved
mother. You and my mother have gone from my life so little
time away from each other in time, and these two lost have left my
life and my heart very sad and lonely since that day .. I wish God
would have a beautiful place and you can enjoy it as you enjoyed
your home here by my side and next to my loved ones who today also
miss you and mourn your departure. I miss you so much my
playmate and all the things shared together since you came into my
life until your last days. We always love you and miss you
rest in peace Karyn.
Kevin, adopted
10/11/2014 age about 6 1/2 yrs - 6/28/2017
We needed to find a buddy for our Lola Bear as our beloved JoJo
had passed away and Lola was very lonely. We went to our
local Golden Retriever rescue and visited with Kevin who had
been turned in to the rescue when his family moved. We
were a little concerned as Lola takes awhile to warm up to other
dogs. The moment she met Kevin they were friends for life. They
ran all around the foster's backyard barking and just having
a ball. Kevin rolled over and started doing a break dance. His
foster parents said that he had never done anything like that
before. I guess Kevin knew he was finally going to his forever
home. We picked him up the next week. We were told that he
was a digger, liked to run away, had possible hip problems and
chewed on his front paws. His coat was also somewhat shabby. From
the moment he stepped into our home, he was perfect. He never dug
or tried to run, showed no sign of hip problem or chewing on his
paws, and he grew a new and luxurious coat. He taught Lola some of
his gentlemanly ways and she became more friendly and trusting.
Being that my wife and I are a little older we didn't want too
rambunctious of a dog and Kevin was perfect. He liked to play and
go for walks but was never unruly. Our Lola even mellowed out with
her new buddy. Two years later our Lola Bear passed away at the
age of 8. Kevin missed her but but took it in stride like the
wonderful dog he was. Six months later Kevin was diagnosed with
cancer. We tried everything to give him some extra time but were
only able to have him for an additional two months. Kevin was only
with us for 2 years and 8 months but had a huge impact on our
lives. Kevin truly was one of the finest dogs we have had the
privilege of sharing our life with.
We love you forever Kevin and you will always be in our thoughts
We will see you at the Bridge.

Khloe, 4/12/2002 - 8/3/2016- 8:57 a.m.
To my sweet, sweet girl; I miss you every moment of every
day. I know that you can hear me when I sing to you, and you can
hear me when I speak to you. Thank You for giving me Lucey just 6
days after you left me. I know that she came from you because we
spoke of if anything should ever happen to you, what I wanted the
kitten to look like. Khloe she looks exactly like we talked about;
6toes and marble tabby. She will never replace you,but hopefully
in time she will love me as much as you did. I know you are with
your beloved Kosmo dog,and your sister Luna. I know you are at
peace, but it still hurts, so much. I LOVE YOU MY SWEET ANGEL.
LOOK DOWN UPON MY NOW AND THEN, MY LOVE. Love
your Momma.
Killian
Jefferson Freeman, September 6, 2006 - December 2, 2017
Killian helped me navigate life from being single and living in a
state where I knew no one, into real adulthood. He was my other
half, waiting for me when I got home from working a 24 hour shift
at Albuquerque Ambulance, sitting on my lap multiple trips while I
made the 10 hour drive from New Mexico to Kansas and back. One of
those 24 hour shift days he even let me know that he didn’t care
for me being gone that long, by eating a hole in my brand new
carpet, right in the entry way of my new house.
Killian was always a good judge of character and helped me find a
good daddy for him and two human sisters in 2008. Joining a family
with 5 & 7 year girls involved a lot of tolerance on his part;
from being dressed up in silly costumes to being teased and laid
on. Down the road in 2009 and 2015, he gained two puppy brothers;
Qynn and Kofi. Killian has been with me thru three houses, six
cars, a few different jobs, and we’ve gotten to celebrate 11 of
his birthdays together with multiple themes including Ninja
Turtles and Scooby Doo.
Killian had quite a few major health scares in the past 4 years,
nearly not pulling thru. I’d say he’s on his fourth or fifth life.
On many occasions, I’ve referred to the fact that he was still
here as “bonus” time. He has definitely slowed down in the past
few years as he has aged. Instead of hikes and dog park
adventures, we’ve gone on car rides to get Happy Meals, to the vet
where he (and his brother) are loved and known well and to
Grandma’s house (where he is secretly the favorite). On a typical
day, he likes to sit under a specific tree in the back of our yard
and plays watchdog, occasionally chasing squirrels and bunnies.
Under that tree will be his final resting spot. Killian was my
first “baby” and although we will all move on, no dog will ever be
able to fill the hole he leaves in my heart. RIP my best friend.

Kiwi, May 5,2008
- September 6,2017
Kiwi was a Jardine’s parrot. She was so sweet and quiet. She was 9
years old. Even though she was plucker, to us she is always
beautiful no matter what.
I hope when it’s my time, I’ll be able to be with them again at
the end of the rainbow bridge.
Love you and miss you, my precious baby.
Kohan Buchanan,
Dec 2008 - 12/12/2017
In memory of our boy Kohan. We are going to miss you so much
baby boy. You brought us so much pleasure and sometimes a lot of
trouble. For the last 7+ years our plans have always been made
around you. When we got back from Aussie, you cried with happiness
to see us. You loved us as much as we loved you. Pete will now
take care of you until we all meet up again. Love you baby boy.
Mum and the boss. Margaret and mark Buchanan
Koukla, 11/25/09

And it isn't as if I never loved a girl
before! Let me tell
you. That girl captured my
heart the moment she came into my car with her brother, in
Spokane, seven and a half years ago. All the way to
Seattle she sat on my lap and she wouldn't even let me go
potty. I loved her, I love her. Those years seem
like a big long yesterday. Must pause......Take a big
breath......Try to think clearly but can't. I will let
her go tonight. Last night I saw her at the hospital
and those brown eyes almost smiled at me. No, I couldn't do
it. I am so greedy for her presence. Can't bare the
thought she has no chance with this dreadful disease. Yes, I
would tell myself that one more day won't hurt.
Too bad don't know how to pray. Perfect time for that.
Who am I kidding? When I saw her tonight, at the hospital,
she was already gone. Her eyes open, breathing fast,
but nothing there. Gone.....
I said to me this was not the moment for crying. Have plenty
of time for that. This was a moment to behold. Looking
at her laying there I was almost embarrassed with the thought of
how much I would enjoy reliving all the precious memories we spent
together with Mommy and Buster.
I just noticed my big wall clock stopped at 8.36 PM.
Some message. It must be the time you left us tonight
for that special place we would all meet someday. Thank you
Koukla for saying goodbye.
You felt no pain tonight except missing Buster and Mommy and
me. But I feel the pain, yes I do. Now the
tears.
Goodbye my little Springer. Now you can run run run to all
the places you couldn't before. I already miss
you......
your daddy, mommy and Buster Montana.....
