Rok I’ll never forget the day we first met. Exactly 12 years ago last month, John and I decided to go to PetSmart with the intentions of adopting a pet for Sam and Evan. I had no idea what I was looking for but went there with an open mind. When we got there I was wandering around, checking out all the dogs but John seemed to be focused on one in particular—a Rotty mix whom everyone had nicknamed Romeo because he was so loving. He would lay on his back and just wallow in everyone rubbing his belly, loving the attention he was getting from everyone. John finally convinced me to have a look at him and soon afterwards he stole my heart as well and we eventually walked out the door with him. If someone didn’t adopt him that day he was going to be sent to the pound and would probably have been put to sleep. We were not having that! We were going to give him a chance at a good life! And so begins the story of our “bubby” Rok! That night when we brought him home we awaited the arrival of Sam and Evan. As we were waiting, Rok made himself right at home—–by marking his territory in our den and in Sam’s room! That was the only time he ever relieved himself in the house! Except whenever anyone came over and he greeted them at the door with such excitement that he would pee right at their feet!! When the kids got home that night they were a little leery because Rok was a big dog. Evan actually jumped on the kitchen counter when Rok approached him! But it didn’t take them long to fall under his spell and fall madly in love with him! He was so much fun to have around! Such unconditional love from him! Although he would eventually grow to 90 some pounds I always said he thought he was a small dog because if he could he would get up on our laps! He was constantly snuggling his nose in our laps or nudging us to pet him, which we did willingly, most of the time. We made so many wonderful memories over the next 12 years and had I realized how quickly those years would go by I would have tried to make more! Although he had so many medical issues, Addison’s Disease, two surgeries, shots every month, pills every day, he was a strong old bird and fought through everything that was sent his way. But I think he has grown weary of the fight and this last battle was too much for him to wage. As I sit here typing with tears in my eyes thinking of him laying in the hospital away from his home and family, I can’t imagine this home without him. The jingle of his collar as he would wander around the house, his faithful alarm clock on the weekends, waking us at the crack of dawn to put him out and feed him, the faithful buddy who would greet us at the door every day, without fail, when we would arrive home—-how do you get over that loss? How does your house become a home again when someone who filled it with so much love and happiness is gone? I look out the kitchen window and expect to see him walking around the yard. I hear the floor creak and expect him to come traipsing in to the room. I know it won’t be easy but I am trying to take consolation in the fact that maybe we took such good care of him over the last 12 years and that is why he survived all that he did. And that he, just by being the buddy that he was, was able to provide us with such unconditional love and joy! I’ve been hoping that we would get to keep him a little while longer but I think he has fought the fight long enough to stay with us and make us happy. He has fulfilled that promise a thousand fold and it is time for him to rest now. He was truly man’s best friend, truly our best friend! It is so hard to let him go but if it means he’ll be at peace then so be it. He gave us 12 wonderful years of love and memories that we will never forget. We love you Rok! You have been the best friend a family could ever have!! We miss you so much! Monica Mitchell

To Mezzimo I hope you are in heaven having a good time. I will always love you. You are my best friend. May god be with you always. I told the priests about you, I am sure they gave you a blessing. Elizabeth Williams

My Dearest and first dog Rudi- Radojka….1999- 12-27-2011 You came to me for a reason, as soon after your arrival you nearly died as an 8 week pup….your chart thickened throughout the years but we always prevailed— surgery after surgery and illness after illness. You brought so much to my life …and to my daughter….we adored you….you were feisty, loving, tough, and such a big part of our family and a part of every milestone… You are dearly missed everyday….I think of you and I know that often you are in the arms of St. Francis as I have prayed so much for you and you adored being held…I see you running among other animals in a green field, chasing butter flies with 4 legs – not 3 ….I hear you and see you run to the gate when you hear my voice and I see that there are many animals trying to paw through a big gate as they hear their owners cries or thoughts …I see you often turn in the middle of a grassy field and just gaze…but you are in a much better place and without a sick body ….you are whole again in spirit and I look forward to the day that you and I can see each other again…. I love you and pray for you every day. Anita Gearty

To Mezzimo I always love you. You are my best friend. Elizabeth Williams

My sweet little Gizmo. I miss you so much. Words will never explain how much I miss and love you. I miss you jumping on the sofa and watching TV. I miss cuddling with you on the bed. You were such an incredible friend a sweet little soul with such a big heart. I would give anything to have you lick my face one more time. You made me better person. Many people say I was a great mom to you but it was only because I had the greatest little boy. Johana Ortiz

Shadow, you were a joy to have. I was so proud to say to everyone that I had a cat in my apartment. That I had you. I was so proud of you as my apartment kitty. 🙂 You are no longer with me, but I am grateful for the time I did have you. It’s too bad you had to go so soon. 9 years was not enough…A lifetime with you would not have been enough to completely enjoy you. You were a soft, loveable, affectionate, playful, sweet, and enjoyable cat. You knew my soul. I miss you terribly… but life would not have been the same without you in it! Thank you God for the time I spent with my beautiful adorable Shadow. Patty Bustamante

My dearest sweet Schnookie, yesterday was our last day together. How I miss you so. Words can’t describe how much I loved and cherished you. Where you used to lay is an empty space now. But our hearts will always be intertwined as they have been for the past 18 years. I still feel your soft fur and your sweet little face in my hands. I loved how you rolled over so I could rub your belly. I miss wrapping my arms around you and sleeping with you in my bed. You were my best friend. You were so brave as you laid your head on my shoulder and crossed over to see God. I’ll be there one day with you, sweet mommy girl. Kathy Myers
