Zeus
May 27, 2000 — July 4, 2008

Our beloved Zeus left us on 4 July 2008 after many wonderful years of being an integral part of our family. He was definitely the son that I never had and protected my daughters as if he really was the BIG brother. He had the sweetest temperament and the look that won over the most dog weary person. He gave us joy, laughter, frustration, protection, loyalty and many other emotions that I just cannot state at this time. Most of all he gave us his unconditional love and now he is gone but never forgotten.

Dakota Young
Dakota November 1996 — April 27, 2008 My dearest Dakota: When I first me you, over seven years ago, I can honestly say that I loved you the moment I laid eyes on you. You were four years old when you came to me from Denise, who did a wonderful job raising you those first four years of your life. Although it had to be scary for you, going to a new home and leaving the only family you knew. But it had to be, and little did you know how close we would become and the good times we would share together. You brought me so much joy and happiness over the last seven years. You taught me something that no human being was ever able to teach me — unconditional love. You always showed such a strong unconditional love for me — it was wonderful. I loved being your mommy, taking care of you, playing with you on the floor and going for walks with you. I will never forget how when my Dad passed away five years ago, you comforted me every night until he was buried. You slept curled up next to me in bed all night, every night for a week. Since that was definitely not normal behavior for you, in doing that, you let me know that you knew that I needed you close to me. Now you are with my Dad and all of our other loved ones that have gone on to a better place. I miss you terribly each and every day. Losing you has been harder than I even thought it would be. Please know that there are many others who miss you too — Chris, Jaclyn, Tyler, Pat, Brian, Shirley, Denise and her family, Donna, Raquel, Derek, Debbi, Carly, Pat and Barb. I have created a little memorial in your honor in my favorite garden here at the house. It includes a beautiful garden stone with your name on it. I have no doubt that we will be together again one day. Please wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge. Love, Connie Young

Copper aka Sammy
God saw that you were suffering And a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you And whispered, “Come with me”. Through tear-filled eyes We watched you suffer And slowly fade away. Although we loved you deeply We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Loving eyes were put to rest. God broke our heart to prove to us He only takes the best He is my baby. I miss him already. Although Copper will be gone from my life, he will never be absent from my heart. Adopted and loved by Wanda Thomas and family
