Sweet Julip

This is unreal. It feels like a really bad dream. Sweet girl I hope the first thing you got to see was your brother and that he is taking care of you. You were amazing and we loved you so much. How does this even happen like this? 

Take rest sweet little princess...

For eleven years we took are of this sweet darling little girl... twice a day, five days a week and today she went to meet her brother Cain. I have faith that she is pain free and playing in the sunshine. She was the sweetest little girl and we will all miss her so much. Send us some signs and stay close to your little siblings. This will be hard for them. We love you to the moon and back.

Darling little boy...

Our darling baby boy. It is hard to remember a time without you in it... You were loved beyond by all of us and you had the best Mom and Dad in the world. They will struggle so much without you so please stay close by. Watch over them and show them little signs that you are still around. We love you so much. Look for Henri and Isabelle... they will take care of you little man. Sweet dreams little love.

Good night sweet girl…

We will miss you so much.

Sweet Cole...

Our days will never be the same sweet boy. You were the most amazing, protective and loyal little man. We have been together a very long time and everyone who has ever walked you, loved you from the first time. My favorite part of walking you was taking you on car rides after the walk. You loved running car errands with me and I loved it too. 

We are all going to miss you sweet boy and Erin is going to miss seeing your sweet face every single day. She loved you most! We know you are at rest now and I trust you have found Remy, Henri and Isabelle and y'all are all playing ball and relaxing in the sun. We love you.  

Sophie

We lost another beautiful sweet little girl  and we are just devastated. She was such a lady and she has been with us for so long. I know she is finally reunited with her brother Charlie and that gives me such comfort but it is so hard. We love you sweet baby girl. Stay close and watch over your baby sister. I hope you found Henri and Isabelle too. Watch Isabelle - she is the complete opposite but Charlie and Henri will have your back. 

Rocket... We got to love her for 15 years…

Today has been a day... I feel like things happen as they need to happen. This sweet little one gave us so much. Lovey was a foodie... no kidding. It was Lovey that introduced Isabelle and Henri to chicken and literally sat on the kitchen island in NOLA and AP watching us cook every night when she was with us. It might have felt a little judgmental because her Mom is such a good cook but nevertheless... we loved that.  She slept with us more than I can count. She loved the babies and they loved her. Lovey - that you and Isabelle choose today does not sadden me any more. I know y'all went together and I love that for both of you and for all of us. We love you little one. We will miss you beyond. Stay close to Mommy... you were her entire world. I love you Rocket. Run with Remy, Henri and Isabelle. 

Sherlock...

Sherlock joined his littermate, Watson today. These two have been such a huge fabric of our lives and our business for so long (2006) that it is hard to imagine not having them or their Mom in our lives. I trust he has found Watson and they are cuddling and Henri and Remy are with them doing the same. 

We love you Helen. I will insist on knowing your whereabouts on a weekly basis going forward. Thank you for all of the support but mostly for sharing these two wonderful little ones with us. We love you and you will be in our thoughts as we know how difficult the days ahead will be. 

My FAVORITE kitty ever has passed away...

 

I call her "I see dead people" but her real name was Sputnik. She was one of a kind. Every single photo of her she looked just like this. So cute. Heartbroken for her Mom and Dad.

Sweet little Bea

We lost a sweet little girl today... our darling little Bea. She was one of a kind and had every single one of us at hello. Pamela and Bea spent nearly every single work day together for 10ish years. Not only did princess Bea get one walk a day, for most of her life she got two and loved her car rides to playgroup. I have never met a puppy with more toys... she sure loved her babies. Our hearts are broken. 

I know your Mommy will need you to stay close to her. Let her know you are around... I hope you are safely with Remy and Henri. Stay with them and they will protect you little girl. We love you so much. 

Sassi

We had to say goodbye for now to this beautiful little girl. She was really one of a kind and loved Erin as much as Erin loved her. She was a true little princess and if you have followed this blog for a long time you will have seen her on all of the lovely antique sofas that adorn her beautiful home. She was rescued by two of the most amazing people whom I know are just broken hearted. 

We loved you little girl. You will be missed. 

Henri

Our sweet baby left us at 210pm today. He was in his favorite bed in his favorite spot with Mike holding his paw. His sister was by his side and before they took him away she licked his ears and nudged his little nose. Dr. Carly let Isabelle spend as much time as she wanted with him after he passed and she is resting now. It was heartbreaking yet peaceful and we will pour all of our love and attention into making sure she is comfortable. 

I know he is safely with Remy and that he is no longer in pain. That gives me great comfort.

He was a complete joy, a complete jack ass and perhaps the loudest dog I have ever had the pleasure of loving. He was amazing. 

May 2, 2009 - July 6, 2021

It is never easy... Thank you Riverlands Animal Hospital​ for your loving care, Dr. Carly from Lap of Love for your compassion and patience today. Thank you to my amazing trainer Elizabeth Schonberg​ who helped me survive the baby years with littermates and who taught me from day one that today would come and that it would be hard for us but would be especially hard for Isabelle.  Also - to my team... all of you that have helped us over these past 12 years. I could not have done it without you. 

Shikani

Beautiful Shikani... our sweet sweet baby girl. We got to know you in 2008 and we loved you every day forward. You touched so many people that have worked here. You were perfection... a patient loving little girl. Also, a little big of a pig but we loved that part too.... I mean, you are a lab. I know Remy will is with you now and I would imagine the first order of business was eating. 

We will miss you beyond measure and we know you will watch over your siblings and stay close to Mommy. It will never be the same without you. You are loved beyond.

I just can't even wrap my head around this... I say this all of the time and I will say it again - the hardest part of this amazing job is loosing our little loves. This one was one of a kind. 

Billie Jean you gave us such great joy and I know that you fought as hard as you could for so long. Your little heart gave all it could give. We love you. You will always have a big place in our heart... my heart for sure. Stay close to your little brothers and stay really close to Mommy and Dad...  they will love little signs from you. I am so honored that they let us take care of you. Sleep peacefully little girl.

13 Years of service...

You were a faithful and loyal worker but a love bug with a big heart. Thanks for your service Benne. Take rest sweet boy. 

Sweet Doodle...

We sure have missed you post Covid but we know you loved having Mommy home every single day. She is one of the best out there and we know you had a wonderful life. Stay close to her and your big sister... they will need all of the love and comfort you can give.

We love you! Always will... 

Sweet Watson...

I don't even know what to say... We all know these times come and we try to prepare ourselves but it is impossible to be prepared. We love you so much... Please watch over your brother and your Mommy sweet baby. It gives me comfort thinking you are with Remy... 

We love you so much Cain...

For almost ten years we have had the pleasure of seeing Cain and Tessa... twice a day... 5 days a week.  But, not only that... we have lived with them for weeks and weeks at a time. When I tell you that these two have the PERFECT Mom and Dad... well, it would be an understatement. 

We loved this little boy so much... 

Erin always said you have a heart of gold, friend to everyone and everything. You were all love, all the time. You were also a forever puppy, and still enjoyed chewing things up from time to time ... we could never be mad at your sweet face. 

Our sweet little Cain. Please stay by the babies and Mom and Dad, remind Tessa to be a good girl and I know Erin will appreciate you staying near her too. You could not have been a better boy... Really, we don't deserve dogs like you and we know you are here to teach us lessons. Well done Cain. I hope you found Remy and MurphyMcGonigle  and that y'all are all eating the foods that we only let you have as a treat surrounded by water and ducks and in a huge beautiful yard. 

You left a lasting imprint. We love you. 

Otis

Our sweet baby left us to soon... he was so young. He came to us literally the first day he was picked up... He was one of those that lived with us when his Mom and Dad traveled... he was ours too. My babies loved him and raised him. We are just devastated. 

Otis... you were one of a kind. Stay by us all love. I know you are with Remy, Lady and Murphy. They will take good care of you monkey.  

Sweet Chloe

Your Daddy loves you so much and so do we. You are one of a kind and you will be missed...
