Our Memories
Some people don't realise how much our pets can mean to us, what a large role they play in our lives, and what an enourmous gap it can leave when we lose them.

Here are some words for special pets who are no longer with us.  If you have a pet you would like to remember here, then please send us details and we will gladly add them on.


Kodiak27th July 2006 - 15th May 2008

Our beloved Border Collie, Kodiak sadly left us in a tragic accident just before her 2nd birthday.  Words cannot say how devastated we were at losing her.







Kodiak, we met you at just 24 hours old and when we saw you for the first time, we couldn't wait to bring you home. From the minute you were here, our lives were never the same. You brought such fun and endless energy with you. You were so clever you soon had us trained, in less than an hour you had US retrieving the ball from under the settee!  Your tricks and antics were numerous and endless.

You were loved very much and are so very badly missed by us and the rest of your pack, Paddington, Barney and Honey.  We especially miss all the things that once used to drive us mad, chucking a toy at us all evening, barking at everything, playing with that very noisy sisal mouse and annoying Barney until he roared at you. All those things were you, they made you who you were. What we wouldn't give to have you here still doing all of those things.

We will never forget you Kodi, you were such a bright and energetic spark and our special girl - you taught us so much and you have left such an enormous hole in all of our lives.
Treasured Friend
I lost a treasured friend today,
The little dog who used to lay,
Her gentle head upon my knee,
And share her silent thoughts with me.

She'll come no longer to my call,
Retrieve no more her favorite ball,
A voice far greater than my own,
Has called her to His golden throne.

And though my eyes are filled with tears,
I thank Him for the happy years,
He let her spend down here with me,
And for her love and loyalty.

For all those missed:

When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes, All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, The way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head, In your lap that special way.

I know how much you love me, As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name, And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready, In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind, All those I dearly love.

But, as I turned to heel away, A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought, That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for, So many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you.

I thought about our lives together, I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had.
Remember how I'd nudge your hand, And poke you with my nose?
The frisbee I would gladly chase, The bad guy, I'd "bark and hold".

If I could relive yesterday, Just even for awhile,
I'd wag my tail and kiss you, Just so I could see you smile.
But, then I fully realised, That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories, Will take the place of me.

And when I thought of treats and toys, I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did, My dog-heart filled with sorrow.
But then I walked through Heaven's gate, And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me, From His beautiful golden throne.

He said, "This is eternity, And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past, But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last;
For you see, each days's the same day, There's no longing for the past.

Now you have been so faithful, So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things, You knew you shouldn't do.
But good dogs are forgiven, And now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side, And wait right here with me?"

So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me, I'm right there, in your heart.
