No Words


Today we lost a beloved member of our family, our sweet Miss Kylee.  She was smart, loyal, crazy, energetic and always loving.  We will miss her dearly, but in her all too short 10 1/2 years she imprinted herself on our hearts so that she will never be forgotten.  

There are no words which can fully convey the depth of our sorrow, but we know that she is in a better place with all the tennis balls she wants!  Love you girl!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful, sweet face. We lost our cat, Sam, at the age of 15, but I was hoping we'd have him til the age of 20. It's always too soon to say goodbye.

    Just got home and checked the mail...I am so sorry Kat. That is such sad, just plain awful, news. My pet owner heart knows the loss and sadness you are feeling. They give us unconditional love all their lives, they leave us with wonderful memories, yet we still yearn to hear the clicking of the nails on the floor.

    Blessings to you and yours over the next few difficult days and weeks.

    I know how your loss feels. I have a huge lump in my throat as I look in her eyes. We lost our Collie Mo this timme last year and it still hurts. However, have a look at this, it might just bring a smile to your face. I never thought I would want another dog and then came Sookie:

    My heart absolutely
    sunk when I read this.
    I am sending you big
    hugs and prayers. It's
    never easy; we know that
    this day will come and
    it's a matter of taking
    the risk with our hearts
    when we adopt them. And
    the good always outweighs
    the bad in the decision,
    doesn't it? All those
    special moments with these
    little messengers from God.
    Please know my heart is with
    you and your family....
