Hannah, you were the best cat anyone could ask for. I am
devastated by your death. For 16 years, you were a constant
companion to me. I love you girl. I love you, a million times
over, I love you. Please wait at the Rainbow Bridge for me.
Goodbye (for now), my friend.

Of all the dogs I've known and loved, you were always
special...and our connection different...deeper. We were an
amazing and joyful team together. Always in unison.
You led your pack impeccably, they all always looked to you.
Your humor and excellent disposition brought smiles to so many
over the years.
As a friend said, you were the backbone of our household.
Bella, Puppa and I are feeling adrift without you here anchoring
us. Thank you so much for everything you've given us.
I hope our spirits find their way back together in joy again.
Havana Koerner,

My beautiful Hawaiian Brown Eyed Girl
January 15, 2012- November 24,2020
Havana, my girl, thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness
in my life. I miss you terribly. I miss your " welcome
home" dance. I would do anything to get whipped by
your tail just once more time and to see your dance, Havana.
Havana, your love was unconditional. Your joy was boundless. Your
smile was delightful. Thank you for your unconditional love for
me. I did not believe that dogs could smile until I met you. I
would do anything to see that smile one more time, Havana.
I miss you beautiful brown eyes. They were so expressive.
Sometimes, you just looked into my eyes and all I saw was love. I
miss feeling your bindle coat in my hands. I miss your soft and
lovely " bell shaped" ears. I would do anything to look into your
eyes and touch your soft ears one more time, Havana.
From the time you entered in my life until the day you
transitioned, you gave me love, joy, and loyal companionship. You
never were far from my side wherever I was. You were the
sweetest soul, but you were ready to protect when you sensed
that I was not safe. Your loud and deep bark would scare people
away. You would tense up during our walk if you sensed
something was up. Thank you, Havana, for giving me that
security. I would do anything to see you like that one more time,
Havana.
I miss our walk to the green next to the ocean in our home in
Kaneohe. You would run in lighting speed. Sometimes, you were
naughty and took off so fast that I did not even know where you
went. Then you would run back as if nothing happened. I
always felt bad since we moved back to our home in mainland. There
was no dog park nearby and you could not run the way you liked it.
I tried to entertain you by jogging with you as often as I
could. The COVID -19 made things even worse. We could not go
out much without having to be careful. You did not complain. You
curled up in your heated bed watching me work all day. You
jumped up every time I got up and followed me everywhere. It
was a bit ironic that the last time you ran in lightning speed was
the evening on 14 May. It was the day that I felt and broke my
left arm during our running/walking. I would do anything to
get to see you run like that one more time, Havana.
I miss your paw tapping on my lap. You loved a good
scratching on your head above your eye brows. You would squint
your eyes in joy. If I stopped too soon, you would tap me and ask
for more. I would do anything to get that tab one more time,
Havana.
I miss our peaceful moments in the TV room in winter. You quietly
watched snow or squirrels while I was reading or watching TV. The
peaceful coexistence that words were not necessary. I would do
anything to have that moment one more time, Havana.
I miss seeing you enjoy your car ride. I always wanted to come
home from work and took you with me in a car ride to Wegman's. You
loved it so much that if it was not too cold and too warm, I
always went to get you first before I go anywhere. Those were just
pure joy experience for you. Even on the morning I took you
to the oncologist, you would sit up all the way and watch
other cars and lights. I would do anything to get you in a car
ride one more time, Havana.
I miss going to bed and waking up with your bed next to me. You
would jump in my sleigh bed and sleep in a while in the
weekend. Your bed is still next to mine, Havana. Your
pink blanket covers your bed nicely. During the last four weeks,
you and I moved to the office so you would not have to go
upstairs. it would not increase a chance of bleeding internally or
falling. I got to watch your sleep next to me. Every morning, I
was grateful to have another day with you. I would do anything to
wake up and see you wag your tail waiting for me one more time,
Havana.
I miss your great spirit in adorning costumes and sweaters.
You welcomed Halloween costumes from a Hawaiian girl to an
orange tiger, your last Halloween costume. You enjoyed barking at
the trick or treat crowd. You were such a goofy girl that
way. Although you were not at your best strength, you still
got up and down and watched several trick or treat groups we had
on your last Halloween. I would do anything to see you in your
costume one more time, Havana.
You were the sweetest soul. You loved people. You would run
and made whimsical sound when Anna was home from JHU
and Gina was from Baltimore. You would run back and forth that I
was afraid that you might fall and break your beautiful long
legs. I would do anything to see you run and whined like
that one more time, Havana.
I miss your ritual of circling around me 5-6 times before you
would lift your right leg and got in your harness. You were
goofy that way and I would do anything to have you circle me like
that one more time, Havana.
I miss how you loved your peanut butter in your kong-kong.
You would take your supplements and medicine like a champion
with s bit of sugarless peanut butter. You did so well that I was
hopeful that you would be able to live and have more good days
managing the horrible disease. I prayed hard and researched for
countless hours to get you the best option and that you would
defeat the odds. I prayed that you would respond positively and
joined the success list of the HSA pups. I did not let the
oncologists and the ER vet convinced me to put you to sleep
immediately after diagnosis. I found two kind holistic vets that
were willing to help you. You seemed to respond well to the
regiments until 24 November. I always wonder if I took you to ER
15 minutes earlier, you would still be here with me. I still
remember how your last breath felt in my right hand while Anna was
driving us. Thank you for choosing me to be with you while you
were transitioning to see your brother kitty, Mr. Moe. My heart is
so broken. There is not a moment that I have not missed you,
Havana. Eight years were too short. I thought we would get to
celebrate Christmas and later your ninth birthday. Mrs. Claus
outfit and Christmas collar are still hung. One day, Havana, when
I see you with Max and Moe at the rainbow bridge, I know you will
wear them. Please roam freely and happily in heaven in your
lighting speed while waiting for me.
If love could have kept you here, you would have lived forever,
Havana.
Until we will meet again. I love you and you are always in my
heart. Havana, my beautiful Hawaiian Brown Eyed girl...

My chocolate nugget, you were a perfect guinea pig. We miss you.

My dear Hershey-cow:
You are a beautiful kitty loved by your brothers and sisters, and
all the neighbors! Please forgive the driver that hurt you;
I'm sure he didn't mean to do it. You went to the Rainbow
Bridge short of turning one. You had a wonderful life
playing in the garden and having good food, treats and fresh
catnip. I can't wait until we meet again at the Rainbow
Bridge! Thank you for bringing so much love and joy into my
life.
I love you Hershey-cow!
