This is where I am moving Chewy's journey too as I would like him to be remembered for all the great things he did as he was such a special cat.

Everyday he still continues to help me on my journey from where he is. He gave me the love inside me that I have for these little creatures that has allowed me to adopt other cats and look after them. Without him I would probably never have done something like that.

I even adopted a fish yesterday as my friend was neglecting it. I would never have even thought of getting a fish but because it was being neglected I felt a pull to help it.

He truly was a special boy. And even though a year has gone by he is still very much in my heart.

Hi, Forever, thank you so much for sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Chewy with us. He looks so content as he sleeps knowing he is safe and sound wrapped in the warmth of your forever love. Our companions touch our hearts and lives in so many different ways that, and I know your beloved Chewy is so very proud of you for opening your heart and home to other precious companions of every life form.

I hope today is treating you and all your precious companions and family kindly, Forever, and that you will have a very peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Chewy's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you're doing and sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Chewy.

Peace and blessings,

xxForeverxx, it is easy to see how special your Chewy was. He really enjoyed snuggling with you, what a sweet kitty boy! It is good to remember him and honor him like this. I'm sure he is smiling down on you and loving you even more for adopting the fish. I read a story not too long ago in one of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" cat stories books and it was about two cats and their friend, a fish. They were very protective of the fish and fought off a pigeon who flew in one day and tried to have the fish for lunch.

Your Chewy had a short life, but it was a good life. He had you and he was loved and treasured. I know he must be happily telling Tina and Danny stories about you and his life with you and how much you love him.

Lovely Mr Chew-Chew! We love you-you. And your wonderful mom, too.

Gretta's mom

Thank you all for your lovely replies. It is so nice to have other people think of him too. He really was special.

I have been having a massive sort out of my photos on my computer while I am on maternity so I can start making some proper photo albums and I came across this one of Chewy and Fudge at our old house. Fudge of course was still quite young.....as you can tell by the size difference but I had forgotten just how much Chewy had warmed to the younger two after me rudely bringing them into his home. He was such a good boy!

xxForeverxx

xxForeverxx, what an adorable picture! Fudge has this crazed, frisky look on his face like he is ready for anything! And Chewy looks so patient, like an older brother tolerating the little kid trying to wrestle with him. It's so nice that Chewy warmed up to Fudge and Pixie. He sure was a handsome and sweet kitty boy, and I know that he must have brought you so much joy. I'm sure he taught young Fudge the "ropes". of what it takes to be a kitty boy! Thanks for sharing this lovely picture with us.

Hi DannysMom

Thank you so much for your reply. It really is a picture I will treasure as each time I think maybe I should not have forced both of them on Chewy it shows me that Chewy would have accepted anyone as he was such a good boy. Here is another one of him laying in the rabbit hutch that we had in the conservatory for the rabbits beds. He could have eaten the rabbits if he had wanted to but he knew he was not allowed to another reason he was such a good boy God I love him!

xxForeverxx

xxForeverxx, that is a lovely picture of Chewy and the rabbits together! Thanks for sharing that with us. Cats and rabbits can actually get along quite well together as long as cats don't use their claws when playing. Rabbits have such thin skin and are easily hurt. But your Chewy sure was a good boy. He must have liked their scent, lying on their beds like this. And the rabbits seemed like they didn't mind. It's amazing how different species can get along so well. Chewy has such a sweet face. He looks like he was a laid-back, good-natured cat. No wonder you love him so! Seeing his picture makes me want to just pick him up and hold him. I'm sure the rabbits miss him too.

Hi DannysMom

Thank you for your reply. I agree with rabbits and cats getting along. I would have no hope with my three now. Ellie takes one look at them and wants to eat them so they have to stay well away! Bless Chewy he was terrified of Honey. If Honey went near him he would run away as I think once Chewy tried to go for her when they first met and Honey bit him! Ever since then he had been afraid. God I miss seeing them together

The picture below was taken at my dads house when we were staying with him while our house was rebuilt. One evening I could not find him and was adament I had not let him out. I searched the whole house.....my dad had a large five bedroom house so it took ages searching every possible place he could be. Eventually I realised......even though I had already searched the kitchen.......he was asleep in the potato basket on the kitchen worktop. I think because I did not expect him to be somewhere like that I had not even noticed when I looked round the kitchen!

xxForeverxx

xxForeverxx, this picture is priceless! That must bring back some happy memories for you. It's so easy to overlook him there in the basket, because he seems to be part of it and fits snugly inside. What a wonderful picture! I know I've searched for my cats at times and they've been happily asleep somewhere, preferring not to answer my frantic calls. I guess when they're napping so good then they don't want to be disturbed. They probably wonder what all the fuss is about. Chewy looks so content there, even if it is a tight fit for him. What a beautiful kitty boy! I know he would have been happy to welcome little Keelan, but he is watching over him from the rainbow bridge.

Thanks so much for sharing Chewy with us. He's a very special kitty boy.

Hi DannysMom

It is so good to have your continued support on here. I try and get on here as much as possible. It should start to get easier now things have settled down a bit.

I had a breakdown a few nights ago. I was giving Keelan his last milk before i put him to bed and everything was quiet and quite dark like it always is for his bedtime and i just couldnt help but wander what Chewy would have been doing now if he was here. And it just made all the tears come again. I cried silently so not to upset keelan but i was just so sad. I actually think he would of hated the crying to start with and i could imagine him wanting to go and sleep outside a lot to start but then after a while he would have probably started laying with us both like Ellie does and it just made me want to give him one last hug. I feel I didnt take enough time to say goodbye. It was the first time i had to go through this and i should have spent more time saying goodbye

xxForeverxx

xxForeverxx, I'm so glad to hear that things have settled down a bit for you. Your little Keelan must be a sweet little baby. I just love the tiny hands and feet of babies. They are so delicate. And when they giggle and move around and look at you with those big eyes it's just so wonderful. They look at things and they just have this wonder and amazement in their eyes. Everything is new to them.

Grief does sneak up on us unexpectedly, and it's only natural for you to think of Chewy and wonder how he would have been doing with the baby. I think he would have been just fine with little Keelan. Chewy was such a good-natured little fella. I know how you feel when you say that you didn't take enough time to say goodbye. That's how I felt with Danny. I was just so in shock and in so much pain that I couldn't think straight. And for you it was especially traumatic since you weren't prepared for Chewy's accident. It's just hard to think straight when we're in so much pain. It must have been such a shock for you, like your world just fell apart. Losing a beloved fur baby in such a traumatic way is very, very hard.

The first time one of my cats died I wasn't even with her. I simply could not do it. I regret it, but it is very hard watching them go and seeing their eyes open and lifeless, staring into nothing. After Danny died I could not put those images out of my mind for weeks.

Hi DannysMom

I have just put Keelan in his own room as he has started sleeping through the night without a bottle......wow time goes quick. That means the cats are allowed back in our room with us. Was lovely laying with Fudge again on Saturday night. Wish I could have that one last time with Chewy.

Grief is a horrible thing isn't it? It is amazing how at the time when it is happening you feel like everything is happening in slow motion and then a month or so later you suddenly think hang on a minute why didn't I stay there longer, why didn't I do this or that. And the whole time because he was sedated from an operation he didn't have a clue what was happening to him. That is even harder. He must have thought I was going to save him but I couldn't

I can understand why you did not with your first. I think back to when I had rabbits and hamsters as a child and wish I had shown them more respect when they passed. I just dd not realise back then how valuable animals were to us. How much love they showed us for not a lot in return. Chewy was the cat that taught me this and is the reason I love animals so much.

Forever xx

Hello xxForeverxx, that is wonderful that little Keelan now sleeps through the night. I know your fur kids are glad that they can stay with you again at night. Little Fudge sounds like a really sweet cat. Like you I also did not show much respect when my little guinea pig passed. I had gotten her when I was about 12 or so and she was the sweetest little thing, always making little squeaks when I came to see her.

Your Chewy was quite a special cat. I know he must be smiling down on you as his mission here on earth was accomplished. These little ones teach us so much about friendship and love and they are so brave and courageous. In his brief life here on earth Chewy has accomplished so much and left quite a legacy. You can be very proud of him

Hi DannysMom

Well all too quickly Keelan stopped sleeping through the night but as he is in his own room the cats can still sleep with us. I came to the conclusion the other day that although Chewy would have eventually got use to him he would have hated all the screaming etc to start with lol and he probably would have spent half the time outside away from the noise! My three have had no choice as they are indoor cats

I was thinking of Chewy yesterday when I was coming back from the pet shop as I was on my own. It is always hard when the weather is so good as it reminds me of when he use to play outside and sleep in the shade.

xxForeverxx

Hello xxForeverxx, looking over the pictures of Chewy I can just tell he was much loved and he definitely LOVED you! He must have had so much fun out in the garden, enjoying the outdoors and sleeping in the shade. I think most cats love being outside and exploring on their own. Chewy must have been very content. I can imagine how much you miss him when the weather is nice and you think of him being outside. You could always get a cat tent so your three fur kids could enjoy the outdoors with you. Do they even want to go outside? I think you mentioned Ellie enjoys going for walks.

I'm sorry that little Keelan stopped sleeping through the night. When they're so little they need food every two hours or so. Ellie is probably more used to it since she had kittens and know what it's like being a mom. I'm sure Chewy would have gotten used to little Keelan. There is always that period of adjustment.

I'd love to see another picture of Chewy...he was such a handsome kitty boy!

Just stopping in to say hello to lovely MR Chew-Chew. Like before, I love you-you!

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Thank you DannysMom and Gretta's Mom for stopping by and thinking of my Chewy.

They are all curious of the outdoors. Fudge and Pixie would not last two seconds out there though because as soon as they hear something like a motorbike they either leg it upstairs or downstairs to hide......depending on where they already are! Ellie would definitley be happy outside but she is also very content being inside so that is why I let her have a little time outside every now and again just for the fresh air.

I was thinking of Chewy loads the other day as I was walking down my road as there was another house down the road and off down a cul de sac that we were going to get instead of the one we were in and I just cant help thinking constantly that if we had moved there we would not have lost him. But then at the same time I think but then we would not have Ellie who I think Chewy sent to us. I wish I could have had them both together as I think they would have made wonderful friends.

Here is another picture. It is of Chewy and Fudge at the old house so Fudge was still a kitten as you can tell by the size!

xxForeverxx

Thank you for your remembering my Gretta. Because she did so much counter surfing, one of her nicknames was Baby Chew-chew. Every animal we take into our hearts leave their pawprints there forever. Sometimes they make us smile, but more often a tear or two falls because we miss them so muchh, eespecially during hard times.

Gretta, please sit quitely and call the name "Chew-Chew, kitty" and a wonderful cat will soon come wandering by to be another of your friends in the Perfect World. A match made in heaven.

Thank you XXForeverXX, for remembering the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived.

Her mommie.

xxForeverxx, that is such a wonderful picture of your Chewy with Fudge. Little Fudge has a perfect teardrop shaped white mark on his face, very handsome. Chewy looks so patient and content, and Fudge looks as if he is saying:"Hey, uncle Chewy, want to play?" I bet Fudge misses Chewy too. I can imagine the pain you must have felt going down the road and thinking that if only you had moved in the house at the cul-de-sac your Chewy could still be here. Often times I wished I could turn back time and make different decisions, but, xxForeverxx, there was just no way that you could have known this would happen. It was a tragic accident.

That was a happy thought how you said that you wished you could have Ellie and Chewy together. I'm sure they would have gotten along very nicely! Your Chewy looks like such a laid-back, sweet kitty boy. I love looking at his pictures. Every time I look at his kitten picture I get a lump in my throat, because he looks sooooo precious.

Hello XXForeverXX,

Thank you for remembering my Gretta, It seems so long ago that we were together that it's almost a dream, and then I remember something particular and it seems like only yesterday. I know it is the same way with you and MR Chew Chew. Someday this heartache will be over and we will all be able to join each other in the eternal place of piece.

Thank you again, xxForeverxx

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hello Gretta's Mom and Dannymom

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am sure Gretta and Chewy have met up by now and are playing happily.

Dannysmom that made me smile reading what you thought it looked like Fudge was saying it does and Chewy looks as if to say im sleeping!!

I have been thinking about him a lot lately. I think now things are not so crazy at home you have more time to think. Still brings many tears to my eyes and smiles.

xxForeverxx

Hello xxForeverxx, I shed some tears myself looking at Chewy's picture again. I can just imagine how much you must still miss him at times. He has such pretty markings and he looks so sweet! But even though he only had a short life he did have a very good life with you. When Keelan gets older you can tell him all about Chewy and what a wonderful cat he was. Did Chewy enjoy Christmas with you? Was there anything special that you did for him?

Hi DannysMom

Thank you for your reply and constant support.

Chewy did enjoy Christmas with us. Especially the couple he had in his first house as we had an open fire and he use to love laying by it curled up while we sat just relaxing watching tele. Awwww I miss his cuddles.

I use to buy him so many toys this time of year and give him loads of treats. And I would get him a Christmas collar too.

Keelan notices every time I turn the laptop on that Chewy's face as my wallpaper. I still cannot bring myself to change it.

This is a very hard time of year.

xxForeverxx

xxForeverxx, I think it's good that you still have Chewy's picture on your laptop as the wallpaper. That is such a nice way of keeping his memory alive, and I'm sure it brings you comfort to see his sweet face when you turn on the computer. I can just imagine how much he must have enjoyed sitting by the fireplace, all curled up and happy and warm! You gave him such a good life and a loving home. I bet he is telling my Danny all about Christmas with you and how much he enjoyed it.
It must have been so awful when you had just gone through Christmas and New Year's and then your beloved Chewy died. I will be thinking of you these coming days. Anniversaries are so hard to get through. Take good care of yourself.

Hugs,
DannysMom

Happy New Year, Mr Chew Chew and your mom.

I love you both and am glad you came into my life through this site.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hello xxForeverxx, I was thinking of you and Chewy. His 2 year is coming up January 3. I just re-read your original post about Chewy, how he used to play fetch with toy mice. My Danny did that too! You had everything planned so well, picked out a house carefully, and then your poor Chewy was attacked by a dog. I know how hard it is to copy when tragedy strikes and it seems our whole world is falling apart. There is nothing more heartbreaking than having to say good-bye to a beloved fur baby. These sweet little souls just give us so much love and bring so much joy into our lives. I love Chewy's kitten picture and the one of him sitting in the rabbit hutch. What a handsome boy kitty! Please know I'm thinking of you today and on Friday.

Hugs,
DannysMom

Hello Forever

I just want you to know that even though I never saw sweet baby Chew-Chew in person, I know she was a cousin to my Gretta, the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived. Her nickname was "Baby Chew-chew" because she ate everything in sight.

The tears WILL stop someday - when we are reunited in the Perfect World. I think I see a picture of the two Chew-Chews curling up together in the Perfect World.

Have a blessed day and know that Chewy's spirit is right there with you - as always.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hi DannysMom and Gretta's Mom

Thank you for thinking of me. For some reason I am finding it extra hard the last few weeks then this time last year. I think it is because now my son is older and playing etc and we have family days I think about how Chewy was suppose to be a part of this life.

It is nice to come on here and have the support we all need through these hard times and both of your words do help every time I visit this forum.

xxForeverxx

Thank you so much for remembering Gretta and Rufus - and after playing with my two I'm going right over and have a romp with Mr Chew Chew. I get enjoyment out of knowing that there is at least one onther person who gives her dogs nicknames. Both Gretta and Rufus had many many names - each lasting about 4-5 months.

Stay safe, stay warm, and stay loved, by Mr Chew Chew, Rufus, Gretta, me and all your LS friends,

Hello xxForeverxx, I can so understand how you miss Chewy especially now that Keelan is growing up and you think of what could have been if Chewy was still here. I think he would have gotten used to Keelan and become good friends with him. Your Chewy was such a sweet cat and easy to get along with. I think Keelan would have enjoyed his company and perhaps snuggling with him. But despite his short life Chewy had a full life and a good life. He was loved and had a wonderful home. You are so wise to keep your cats inside. I know that in England it is so common for people to let their cats roam.

Good morning Chewy's mom

I'm just stopping by to say hello and to find out how you are doing. If this is an up day for you, I'm happy for you and Mr Chew-Chew. If this is a day with sadness creeping around the edges, I want you to know that you are not alone, even on this earth. Of course, Chewy and his friends are smiling down on you. In fact, i think there is a club forming up there in the Perfect World for all the animals who were named or nick-named Chewy. If there is, I know my Gretta (Baby Chew-Chew) is attending.

Have the best day possible.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hello.

Thank you both for your lovely comments. It is hard for me to come on a lot as I am currently working two jobs and doing voluntary work around looking after Keelan. It makes me smile knowing that I will come on to a couple of comments that will help lift my spirits and lets me know people are thinking of Chewy as well as me.

February was hard. I thought about Chewy a lot. I am not sure why that particular month but I did. The biggest problem I have is the fact that I drive to and from work twice a day as I do two shifts a day and the place I tend to think the most is in my car. So I have had a lot of time to think about my Chewy. I try my hardest to think of all the good times we had. Its hard when all I can think about is the good times we COULD have had

One thing I do know is that it is thanks to Chewy we gave Fudge, Pixie and Ellie a home as before him I had never had the urge to own a pet but he showed me just how much they can take care of you and show you love and how much they need us too.

xxForeverxx

Hello xxForeverxx, I am glad that we can lift your spirits. You sure are very busy these days, and I hope you find enough time to rest in between working two jobs and taking care of Keelan. I had been wondering how you are doing. I'm sorry to hear that February has been such a hard month for you. I can relate to you thinking in your car while driving....I do that too, and it's a safe place where you can just have a good cry and you don't have to worry about upsetting a family member. I think it helps to have that time and to be able to grieve, even if it is hard. And I feel for you as you had imagined such a wonderful future with Chewy and Keelan growing up together. Chewy's death was tragic. It cut short his life and potential, but I truly believe that in the 3 years he lived he had a full and good life and was loved so much by you. His death was not in vain as he led you to give Fudge, Pixie, and Ellie a good home. In so many ways Chewy is a hero. I hope that you are feeling a bit better and doing well.

Hugs,
DannysMom

Hi DannysMom

Thank you for your reply. I am feeling OK today about Chewy as you are right he is a hero. I was only thinking this morning whilst driving back from work that if it hadn't been for Chewy my love for cats would not have happened. He showed me how amazing cats are and you are right it is thanks to him I have Fudge, Pixie and Ellie.

Whenever I think of Chewy I try and hold that in my heart the fact that he was a hero to help see me through another day without him.

xxForeverxx

Hello xxForeverxx, that is good that you can keep the thought in your heart of Chewy being a hero and leading you to Fudge, Pixie, and Ellie. In the grief journey some days are better than others. At certain times when I look at Tina or Danny's photos I still shed some tears, and I imagine it probably is the same with you. You had such an incredible bond with Chewy and he was such a loving and sweet cat. If we can keep the good memories in our hearts it does help. Chewy had a good life with you and he was loved.

I hope you are doing well.

Hello xxForeverXX

Just stopping by to say hello and see how you are doing. Your nickname, "Mr Chew-Chew" always brings a smile to my heart. I know the two "Mr Chew-Chews (one being my Gretta who is really a Ms, Chew-Chew) are playing together in the Perfect World, just waiting for their moms to get there, too. My sister, Trevor's mom, joined them April 9. I can only imagine the parade of animals that was waiting for her. Please be well and enjoy your summer.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hi DannysMom and Gretta's Mom

Thank you for stopping by and thinking of Chewy. I have been a bit happier lately. I do not know whether this is because I have been too busy to stop and think and sometimes I wish I never had to stop and think again or else it would set me off. Christmas/new year is always going to be a time when I think of Chewy the most just like you DannysMom but I hope this year I can stop myself from having too many cries and instead think of all the memories I had with him and smile.

Gretta's Mom it is a nice thought all our babies playing together up there. I am so sorry to hear aof your loss. I know though if she has been met by all our amazing friends etc then she is in a good place.

xxForeverxx

Hello Chewy's mom,

I always smile when I see your nickname for beautiful Chewy (Baby Chew-Chew). That was one of my many nicknames for Gretta, the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived. Although this year tragedies have pursued me relentlessly, I still smile when I think of the two Chew-Chews playing together in the Perfect World. Truly there the lion will lie down with the lamb.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hello xxForeverxx, it is good that have been happier. The holidays can be so tough, and I agree with you that there will always be a time when you think of Chewy simply because you loved him so much and love him still. He was a wonderful cat! I hope that you will have a nice Christmas with your loved ones, and just know that it is okay to cry. Your Chewy was so special.

Hello xxForeverxx

They say that time heals all wounds, but we know that's not quite true. Sure, days go by when we don't think of our friends above but then something happens that reminds us of our "Chew Chews" and tears come again even though we know they are in a truly Perfect World. There's an old hymn that starts, "When we all get together, what a day of rejoicing it will be", And when I get to that Bridge, after I meet my Chew-Chew, I want to meet YOUR Chew-Chew - and you.

Meanwhile, we have to keep their memories in our hearts and, because they took a piece of our hearts with us, our hearts will always be yearning for them until we get together. Please know that I am with you in spirit, especially during these upcoming holidays.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Good morning, Baby Chew-chew, the little cat with the big heart and the great nickname. If you see brown dog, a chocolate lab, the kindest chocolate who ever lived, that will be my Gretta. She also had the nickname of Baby Chew-Chew because she could spot food containers a mile away and one time she chewed through a bottle of 100 fish oil tablets and ate them all. I had to take her to the vet because these pills have some aspirin in them - who'd have thought! I'm sure they will have a great time exchanging stories about things they chewed up.

God bless you and your family during this season.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hello xxForeverxx, I know Chewy's angelversary is coming up, and I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year's. I was looking through Chewy's pictures that you have posted on here. He is so handsome and what a sweet face! I know you must have enjoyed snuggling with him and holding him close. These pictures are precious memories, and each one tells a story. I hope that when you look at pictures of Chewy it will bring back good memories.

Hugs,
DannysMom

Good morning, xxForeverxx,

You and Mr. Chew Chew are always on my "write-to" list - and in my heart. Every time I see your name and Mr Chew Chew's name I think of the two Chew Chew - as different as can be but Forever Friends. People sometimes write that their sadness has been replaced by happy memories of their fur-baby now in the Perfect World. And yes, there are happy memories. But I think we loved them so much when they were here and they loved us so much back that our hearts will always have a hole in them, a reminder of the piece of our hearts that they took with them to the Perfect World and the piece of their hearts that they left with us to keep and hold until we are joined again with them and both our hearts are whole again.

I'll ask the two Chew-Chews to send down some warm love rays to you today to at least warm your heart a little bit during this freezing season.

Your friend,

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Wow I am so lucky to have caring people thinking of me even when I am not on here as much anymore.

I am so grateful to come on and read your replies Gretta's Mom and DannysMom.

You are both always so caring and give me such good advice that does make me feel a bit better each time. Thank you so much for thinking of us. Chewy was a special boy.

You are right Gretta's Mom that we can look back with happy memories but our hearts always have a piece missing with them not here anymore. But I agree and I hope that one day I will be reunited with him. Thank you

DannysMom thank you for thinking of us near Chewys angelversary. I have been blessed to find this site around the same time as you and in times of grief as you have proved to be a caring friend who is always there to lift your spirits. I say blessed in the best way possible as of course the best thing would have been of course for us not to have had to find this site through loss. But I am glad to have met you then.

I am not very good at offering advice. But I love to seeing your photos of all your babies DannysMom and Gretta's Mom and hearing about the memories you have of them and will always be thinking of you all.
xxForeverxx

Good morning Chew-Chew's mom

It must be fate - or our two Chew-Chews sending us some love rays from the Perfect World. There are about 10 people here that I keep on a rotation so that I remember to write to them and don't leave them hanging for long periods of time. Guess whose "turn" it is today - CHEW-CHEW THE CAT'S!!

And I think one of the things our Chew-Chews are trying to tell us is that in the Perfect World where they live, the lion DOES lie down with the lamb. How could a big dog and a cute cat both end up with the same names? And I just know they are fast friends - and that it isn't even considered odd in their world.

Like you, I will always miss my not-so-baby Chew-Chew. Didn't the Beatles or some such group have a song called something "A Piece of My Heart" pr at least lyrics that said that? One of those oldie groups did (er ... they were considered avant garde when I was young). I will figure out a way to upload a picture of Gretta the Chocolate Lab, the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived (aka Baby Chew-Chew).

Just as our soulmates can never be forgotten, our friends who are missing their own soulmates can never be forgotten either, right Chew-Chews?

Gretta and Rufus's mom (Rufus is the black dog I use as a icon - he's a half black lab/half Newfie - and I'd have been in REAL trouble if HE had been a Chew-Chew too!)

Hello xxForeverxx, I hope this finds you well. Even though it has been 3 years since Chewy left this world there are probably still times when you feel like it was only yesterday. I just always remember the nice pictures you posted of him, the one with him and Fudge, the one with him in the rabbit hutch, and the one where he is sleeping in the bread basket. Chewy must have brought you so much joy and laughter. Keep those special memories of him in your heart always. They are precious treasures.

Hugs,
DannysMom

Hello darling Chew-Chew,

Just stopping by to say hi and let you know you are remembered and loved.

Til we meet in the Perfect World,

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving, Baby Chew Chew. I love your name, your mom and especially you.
