Kricket

In Loving Memory of my
Beautiful Kricket
1999 - 2009


It has been said that a dog is man's best friend. If that is the case then my sweet, extremely smart and gentle Kricket embodied just that and so much more. There never has been a kinder nor gentler soul touch my life as much as she. I miss her so much my heart is broken in two and my home feels much quieter without her. Lily, who is her furry pal and my other toy fox terrier, I know misses her as well.

Simply put, I adored my Kricket. She was special in every way and was my constant companion whose side I never left. At only 5lbs, I felt I was her protector and gentle, human care giver. There is never adequate words when you love someone or something, it is their spirit that embeds deeply in your heart and it is where they reside forever when their physical self has left us.

Kricket came into my life at a perfect time. Although only the size of a hampster when she came to live with me, she was tough as nails and often ran 10k fun runs with me. Kricket became a gallery embassador along with Lily, and both were forever the hit of the gallery. Patrons came, I believe, to see these two furry friends who always greeted others with wags of their tails and excitement in their bright eyes.

Kricket, you will never be forgoten and Lily and I miss you desperately. We love and miss you so very much. Thank you Kricket for your special gift of coming into my life and touching me in ways I never thought possible. It can never be explained to or understood by others the special bond we shared together. To a gentle soul and loving furry companion. We miss you!

It is with much pain and sadness Lily and I say goodbye.

I loved that little ball of joy so much, it hurts deeply to have her gone. I have never been touched by a pet like I was by Kricket. I had told Brynn that I never wanted a small dog, but when she brought her home, she (Kricket) won me over the moment that I saw her. I have so many great memory's that I will keep with me always.I miss her so much.
