This beautiful, sweet, loving companion of Grant, Carol, Kristen and Andrew passed on to rainbow bridge June 5, 2009. They adopted Sonya through Yakima Valley pet rescue as a senior and gave her a loving forever home and Sonya loved them dearly for giving her the best last years of her life. Even though they had to say goodbye to her that day, they shall never forget her as she lives on forever in their hearts. Bless you Sonya for touching their hearts and lives. Some day, you shall see your beloved humans again.

To have loved and then said farewell is better than to have never loved at all.A Simple Message From Your Pet
For all of the times that you stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and
returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you. For the care that you gave to me
so unselfishly. For all of these things I am grateful and thankful. I ask that you grieve
not for the loss but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each other's lives.
My life was fuller because you were there, not as owner, but as my friend. Today, I am
as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among fthe flowers and
the sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures. I can run, jump and play
and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints
and no regrets and no aging. We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know
that togetherness is forever. You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such
as you are very rare and unique. Don't hold the love that you have within yourself.
Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies,
and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.
Your pet in heaven.
