RJ's Bonwood Talisman Tobias, C.D.
"Toby" a/k/a Tobe, Obie, Opie April 13, 1991 – February 24, 2005 My dearest Toby, for weeks now since you went to the Rainbow Bridge I've been searching for the right words to say in your tribute. The truth is, mere words cannot even begin to describe how much I love you, and how much I miss you. But today is April 13, your birthday, and I want to honor you today. So I will try to find the words, though inadequate they may be. You were the best dog to ever share my life, and no other dog in the present or in the future will ever replace you. You were a wonderful, adorable, sweet friend and companion with a kind and loving spirit. You knew me so well, and the bond we shared was second to none. You were my canine soulmate, the love of my life, my one in a million. I'll never forget our time together. You brought me so much happiness, I could never begin to describe it. Even when I was sad, you always managed to make me laugh with your funny antics. You were so intelligent, and your beautiful eyes expressed that intelligence. You used to amaze me with your thinking ability! You were such a good dog throughout your entire life, and you knew you were special. You loved many things – lying in the sun, rolling in the grass, finding bugs in the dirt, going for rides in the car, playing with your toys, stealing my socks, eating, taking naps and so much more. You simply loved life. But most of all you loved me. My beloved Toby, you will forever be in my mind and heart. I miss everything about you, and I think of you constantly. I thank God for the years we had together. Your name means "God is good". I honestly believe that God brought us together, and I feel honored that He entrusted me with such a wonderful being as you. But the time came when He wanted you back. I know you are in His hands now, happy, free and young again, but even so I have cried so many tears for you. My little man, my Obie, you changed my life, and I will never be the same without you. The loss of you has truly broken my heart, and a piece of my soul went with you. You will never be forgotten, and there will always be an empty space in my life now that you're gone. You were just so special, and I am convinced that in my lifetime there will never be another one as special as you. Take care, my precious one, until we meet at the bridge – I know you're waiting for me there. I love you always, Your mom, Bonnie -------------------- RJ's Bonwood Talisman Tobias, C.D.

Bonnie, You post made me cry as I read about your precious Toby. He sounds as wonderful as my precious Snookie did, she was the best girl in the world. I am sure you miss him so very much and I am so sorry you lost him. Thank God that we will see our babies in Heaven. Happy Birthday precious Toby.
Ann -------------------- My girls went to the Rainbow Bridge 6 weeks and 3 days apart. Snookie had cushing's disease, and later developed diabetes. Both had cancer, Snookie had cancer of the liver, and Chili Bean had cancer of the pallet. Chili Bean was our son's chihuahua but we kept her often throughout her life and she stayed with us for the last 9 months of her life. Chili Bean also had asthma and heart failure. We will see you in Heaven my precious darlings. Snookie Lynn Howard 2-04-94 - 12-26-04 Senorita Chili Bean Bubbles Howard 11-05-94 - 11-11-04 |

Bonnie,
What an incredibly beautiful tribute. You described your special love so well that I feel as if I know your Toby now. Thank you for honoring him on his birthday. What a special and sweet little man he was. His spirit is running free and indeed your reunion one day will be joyful. Bless dear Toby. Happy Birthday. With love, Jenny -------------------- Alice Mae Bennett ("Allie") was born around May of 2003. She came home to us in July. On March 10, 2005, she became ill with a condition called mesenteric torsion or volvulus. It is a twisting of the small intestine which is nearly impossible to diagnose. Once symptoms begin it is usually too late to save the intestine by surgical means. There are no known ways to prevent it and its causes are also unknown. It is extremely rare, especially in medium-size females like Allie. It is more common in males of large breeds, like German Shepherds.
Allie was a sweet, happy and loving soul. I will miss her every day. Thanks for giving us these last two years, little girl. We'll always treasure them. |
