Yesterday and You If I could have a lifetime wish and dreams that could come true,
I would pray to God, with all my heart for yesterday and you.
A thousand prayers can't bring you back. I know because I've tried,
And neither will a million tears. I know because I've cried.
You left behind my broken heart and happy memories too,
but I never wanted memories. I only wanted you. Author Unknown
"Tiny"
A donation has been made in memory of Tiny. Tiny was brought back to the shelter due to an illness in the family. Upon an examination by the Vet, we found out that Tiny had an idopathic disease that caused him to be blind. Thanks to his foster parents, he had a wonderful Christmass holiday and new years. His foster parents loved him very much and supported him through his illness.

A donation has be made in honor of Casey. Casey came to us in December 2004. He was an old guy who was also blind. He was in need of lots of TLC. We brought him home, and he became the center of our world. What a joy to have around. All he wanted was someone to love him, and he gave it back in spades. We were blessed to have him for just over four years. He passed away in January 2009.
No one knows the silent heartaches,
only those who have loved can tell,
the grief we bear in silence,
for the one we loved so well,
Casey, you will never be forgotten,
for though we are apart,
you are always and forever,
alive within our hearts.
Rest in peace, our little man,
Rest in peace, our angel
You forever mom and dad
