| Our girl Starley was our shadow. She loved a road trip. Was up for any adventure walks with her humans. She didn't care where she went as long as we were all together. Family days out. Treats were life. Miss you Girly more than you will ever know xxxx |

| Betty 20th June 2016 – 26th January 2024. We were fortunate to adopt our beautiful girl, Betty, from Celia and Jimmy in June 2016. We feel privileged to have had her in our lives. She was such a character who filled our home with so much love and joy. Words can’t express just how much she is cherished and how she will be missed. Sleep peacefully, my darling girl – always in our thoughts. Rhed Fawell. | 4 years of loving you Zeno was not enough. You were a perfect fit for our family and our broken hearts are testament to how much you loved us back. We hope you have endless sunshine to roach, in between your outstanding zoomies. |
When a dog offers you his heart
Accept it with a smile
For his love will last a lifetime -
Which is such a little while.
When a dog offers you his heart
Take it gladly and with pride
For he will be a faithful friend
Ever by your side.
A dog loves you because you're you -
Not for how you speak or what job you do
You could be short, tall, thin or fat
Or ugly as sin, he doesn't care about that.
A dog knows if you're good or bad
He can see inside your soul
When he decides you're okay
To earn your love is his main goal.
When you're sad, he'll comfort you
And kiss away each tear
You may even wake up in the morning
With a cold nose in your ear.
When eventually the time comes
And the lights in his eyes dim
A new star will shine in Heaven
In remembrance of him.
You'll gaze up at the midnight sky
And you will hear him say -
"I'm so glad you were my human
We'll meet again some day!"
So, if this poem has caused a tear to fall
That's because you love the dog who's given you his all
Go travel on together, happily paw in glove
He's the only one who'll ever give you unconditional love.
When a dog offers you his heart
Accept it with a smile
For his love will last a lifetime -
Which is such a little while.
