In Loving Memory
July 29, 2009

It was a cold night December 20, 2004 when your mama found you. You "chirped" your way into our hearts and became daddy's girl. Wanting to be with him every chance you got. Giving him love bites on his feet and "talking" back whenever he talked to you.

We had many loving names for you: Noelsie, Shortcake and Sweetheart to name a few. We loved you with all of our hearts and are so sad that you had to leave us. Our hearts are heavy with grief. You were not quite five and not supposed to die so soon.

We will miss your short-legged quick steps to beat dad up the stairs. You loved being daddy's little helper. We hope that you are healthy now. We will miss you and you will live on in our hearts forever, Noelsie Belle. Until we see you again over the Rainbow Bridge.

Love you,

Dad and Mom

We believe in honoring the lives of pets

Here at Best Friends, animals have such a special place in our lives. We honor those pets we’ve loved and those who need our help today. At Best Friends, we keep pets in our hearts

Remembrances

Leaving a personal story, memory, or words of support for a pet’s family is a heartfelt way to pay tribute and provide comfort. As part of your remembrance, we also invite you to leave a virtual token along with your words — similar to our tradition here at the Sanctuary of leaving stones, beloved items, or small toys on the graves of cherished animals.

Leave Your Remembrance

Share the memory of your pet

By sharing this pet’s memorial page, you’re helping to keep the memory of a beloved companion close — and you’re helping others understand the place pets forever inhabit in our hearts.

Show your love and support

You can let someone grieving the loss of a pet know that you care. Whether you send calming wind chimes or a sympathy card, your gift can be a source of light for someone during a difficult time.
