5 months ago, I had to face the most difficult moment in my entire life, one which I never thought would happen to me this way.

Growing up, Lola was our best friend. She was a part of our lives for as long as we can remember and she made every day brighter with her quirky personality, playful attitude, and, most of all, her unconditional love. When we found out Lola was sick, it was a devastating shock to all of us.

Losing Jack was one of the hardest things I have had to go through this far. He was our fur baby for 16 years and we miss him so much.

Eddie was my best friend of 16 1/2 years. He was the sweetest, friendliest, most perfect dog. Eddie came with me everywhere I could bring him - to work, cottages, weekend getaways and out of country trips - he made everything so much better by being there.

We were devastated as a family when we lost our beloved Layla. Unfortunately, few people understand the depth of the loss when you lose your family pet. We were so grateful to have found Lesley. She is kind, compassionate and extremely skilled.

Our dog Beauty provided our family with 15 1/2 incredible years of laughter, love , playfulness and companionship. The novelty never wore off for any of us as she continued to welcome all family and friends and hold a special place to everyone who met her.
