In Memoriam:

Sweet Dreams to the Woodards’ Cool Whip. 19 July 1997 ~ 15 June 2011. “All she ever wanted was a heat source to worship and a 40lb bag of kibble.”

Kathryn Ladick had to send Peanut over the Bridge on July 5th.  “She was in horrible pain & now I'm relieved that it is over.” RIP Jaroufa's Lil Peanut. Special hugs to Kathryn,

Condolences to Hepi Armen on the passing of Princess.
“Princess My Precious Baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge. My home feels empty without her following my every move, licking my legs after a shower, cuddling with me on the couch.
Every square inch of this neighborhood & Central Park is filled with memories of her. Nothing is the same without her. I will miss her forever.”

Our sympathies to Peter and Yvonne Morant on the passing of Corona.
“She had had a great life, firstly with Justine & then with us & Kito for the past two years.  She leaves two lovely sons here in Perth & has produced a line of offspring in Sweden who have (& continue to) excel in lure coursing, championship shows, & whatever else they turn their paws to. 

Vale, Corona!"
