IN MEMORY OF OUR LADY


January 2002 – June 2012

We lost our precious Lady yesterday.  Her little heart just couldn't take any more. She has been a wonderful companion and best friend to us, and she has enriched our lives immensely.  She will be tremendously missed.  I am certain with time we will heal, but today our hearts are broken.

IF YOU MISSED
xoxo

    Oh Teresa...my heart goes out to you. Nothing is quite like losing the unconditional love of a beloved pet/companion. Hope Lady rests peacefully in heaven, how lucky for her that while she was here, she was here surrounded by much love and adoration. Sending a big hug and wishing you and your family the best at a diffcult time.

    I'm sorry to hear this, Teresa. Losing a pet is so difficult. I hope it helps you to know that I'm sure Lady knew she was loved, and that is the best gift you could have given her. Hugs to you...

      Teresa, our hearts go out to you as we both have Ladies at home and we know that the space they fill in our lives cannot be replaced. Just last week when we were traveling we mentioned how much we missed their unconditional love... You're in our prayers.

    All good wishes to you,

    I inheristed Sasha when my daughter went to live in Canada. She was 8 years old when she came, and she died when she was 19- I never thought a dog could catch hold of your heart and keep it. I cried for a whole day and even my husband was close to tears, and even yet when he is in the garden will go and chat to her about whats been happening. They are so delightful and loving and ask for very little, they light up our lives, and I know how the grief hits you. We got two other puppies to help with ours and it did lesson the pain, but for the moment dear girl, we are all with you in sending you love and hugs to help you with your loss.. hugs from across the pond Janzi

    I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Lady. I am uncertain whether I can get another pet as so keen is the loss - the sign of the joy they have given though. Sincere condolences.
