We remember our most precious boy Oliver (English Setter), who
departed this world at the grand old age of 15 years.
You came to us at 6 weeks old in France, and became a part of our
family and other animals. Freyja and her sister Loki, and then
Frodo joined us the French Farm Cat. You were such a sweetheart,
and had the most loving and gentle soul. You were the one who
stood next to me every year in my wedding dress on our
anniversary, such a gentleman.
We then decamped to Nova Scotia, Canada, where dear Branwen joined
our family, and you two became inseparable. As a Siberian
husky she loved the snow, and you just made snowballs in
your feathering.
When we returned to Wales, here was another big adventure. We
sadly said goodbye to Freyja in Canada, and then to Loki in Wales,
sisters, both 18 years old. Life was not the same with no cats to
share our world, we missed them terribly. Then our world was
rocked by the very sudden loss of our precious girl Branwen, that
you became even more precious to us.
You were able to stay with us into our next adventure of living on
a narrowboat, you coped beautifully with this change in our lives.
As much as we knew the time for you to leave us was getting
closer, we were still not ready to let you go, but did finally
find the strength to say goodbye.
We think of you now running with Branwen, and a welcome party from
Frodo Freyja and Loki.
Your new sister Hen that you left behind, is feeling a little
untogether as we are, she doesn't understand where you are.
We are numb with the loss of you, it feels like you were with us a
lifetime, we miss you more than you can know our precious Oliver.

Oliver was the best bird. He was a little possessive of his cage
but, usually if I opened the door he jumped right out onto my
hand! He was a handsome bird. As a conure, he wasn't a super clear
talker but he imitated the birds outside, also imitated my young
daughters' sleep machine! I miss him dearly but know he is at the
rainbow bridge waiting for us.

My sweet’ mellow, always good and patient and kind little boy who
loved everyone he met. Would snuggle into anyone who was in pain
and would lick (unbidden) any areas he found on me that were
hurting. Like he could sense the pain. He struggled with diarrhea
and on Sunday 11/3/2019 we began to throw up and bark out. After
giving him lots of love and some medication I had the daunting
task of driving him on his final car ride wrapped in his favourite
blanket. We went into a 24 hour vet as our regular one was closed.
The vet was very patient and loving and placed an iv in his paw
and I held him as she gently injected him. He died quietly and
sweetly just as he lived. He will forever leave his footprints on
my heart. He leaves behind his daughter Grace and his mummy me. We
will always love him and look forward to seeing him on that
Rainbow bridge.

Our sweet boy. He loved playing peek a boo, being held like a baby
and petted to sleep. He always greeted us at the door and would
meow till he found one of us in the house. He loved his family and
was always in the center of everything. He was more than a pet he
was our kid and our friend. He leaves behind four sisters, one
brother, and one fur baby brother. He was way too young to
pass but his body was really sick. Even in the end he was trying
to comfort us. He was always most concerned about us. I’m going to
miss him more than any words I could write. We love you Ollie and
one day we will meet again.

Oreo-how do i tell you how important you are to me? I can start by
saying that i love you so much- I always have and i always will.
The house is a desolate place without you laying on the couch,
tip-towing down the hallway or following me to the bathroom. I
come home and i sense "emptiness" all around me. Oreo, you were my
very best friend, my companion and my soul mate. The Lord gave you
to me and he took you away-Blessed be the name of the Lord. You
were suffering so, and I couldn't let you go through any more just
for my own selfish reasons, so, I let you go. And peacefully you
slipped away. I have an abundance of beautiful memories and for
that I am thankful. But I can't wait until the day we meet
again-until then, enjoy your new eyes and your new leg! Walk those
golden streets, and when i get there, I will let you lead me. Hugs
and kisses, your mom Carol

Oh how I miss you little man. You were my constant companion
bringing me joy each day.
I wake thinking of you each morning and go to sleep thinking of
you each night. Tears roll down my face in sadness wishing you
were still with me. I know you depended on me to make the right
decisions for you and in the end the most difficult and painful
decision was to let you go.
You were weak, not eating or drinking fluids...how long could I
let you suffer I said that if I loved you as I said I did then I
had to let you go and be in peace.
I have your ashes in my bedroom with a shrine to your memory.
Forever in my heart...I love you, Otis
