We are blessed to have so many special memories of our fur children!

12/25/2025

On Christmas Day...

Hart's Petuary wishes:

For every dog or cat searching trash cans for breakfast, a filled bowl with his name printed in bright letters.
For every dog who slept fitfully last night, chained in a frozen yard, a soft, warm bed with a person snoring gently nearby.
For every shelter dog or cat, spending Christmas morning in a soiled run, a forever home, filled with sounds and smells of family.
For every "Christmas" puppy or kitten given today, a tolerant, caring owner who won't abandon you as you grow into a real dog or cat.
For every ailing pet, enough money for your owner to pay the bills to make you well.
For every lost dog or cat, a clear, safe road, and well marked path, to lead you home.
For every old and tired friend, a warm fire, and a soft bed, to ease your aches and pains.
and

FOR EVERY DOG & CAT AT THE BRIDGE, A MOMENT WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE REMEMBERED TODAY, MISSED AGAIN AND LOVED FOREVER!!!

Dogs, those furry companions that brighten our lives, live a fraction of the lifespan humans do. Yet, they seem to possess an extraordinary ability to find happiness in the simplest of moments, teaching us invaluable lessons about living life with boundless optimism and joy.

It’s often said that dogs are among the happiest creatures or animals, and their unwavering enthusiasm for life can serve as a profound reminder for us humans to appreciate the beauty in every moment.

We have to admire their innate ability to fully immerse themselves in the present . Whether playing or resting they give their full attention to each moment, reminding us to savour life as it unfolds, rather than constantly looking ahead or dwelling in the past ...

Linny Mooring
April 2007-September 21, 2025

Neruda once wrote, "Tonight I can write the saddest lines." The poem refers to a different type of heartbreak, but this line resonates with me as I feel the immense grief of losing our sweet Linny. Linny was elegant, regal, and demonstrative with her affection. She loved cuddling, being gifted tiny bites of salmon, and chasing the ever-elusive red laser dot. Linny was an excellent trainer of humans and could command action without uttering a single "meow." She was the perfect companion for over 18 years, and she leaves a void that will never be filled.

"Tonight I can write the saddest lines . . . because through nights like this I held her in my arms."

Sharing - 🌈🐾🌈

"Ever lost a piece of your heart and had no one understand?"

I wasn’t sure if I should share this, but I know some of you will get it.
If you’ve ever had to say goodbye to a pet, you know this pain.

It’s funny…
You think you’ll be okay.
But then, their empty spot on the couch says more than words ever could.

Grief doesn’t hit all at once.
It sneaks in—
In the way their water bowl still sits untouched.
The way you reach out in the middle of the night, expecting them to be there.

Some people will say, "It was just a pet."
But you and I know better, don’t we?
You were so much more.
You were my confidant.
My source of comfort on my darkest days.
You were the one who made the doorbell ring like a celebration, no matter the day.

For so long, I felt guilty for missing you.
For holding onto your collar as though it was a treasure.
For crying "too long" after you left.

But now, I realize…
Love doesn’t end with a heartbeat.
It stays, in the spaces you left behind.
In the silence that still echoes with your presence.

So, if you’ve ever loved and lost a pet…
This is your permission slip.
To grieve, without shame.
To miss them fiercely, to honor their love, and to keep their memory alive.

If you’ve ever loved a pet like family, drop a 🐾 below.
You’re not alone. We’re in this together. ❤️
