In Memoriam

Myriam

Dearest Eniya,

my sweetheart, my little darling. On the 2^nd of January 2025 around 11:30h you put on your wings and walked over the rainbow bridge, towards your sisters, brother and owner. They will show you the way there. I knew it was coming because you were very ill, but I never expected it to be so sudden. The liver cancer had spread and that morning your condition deteriorated so much in less than 3 hours that when we arrived at the vet you were already going into shock.

You could no longer see anything and were in blind panic. You passed away peacefully in my arms. Your battle is over dear girl. You are no longer in pain. God, how I miss you, my little sweetheart. You turned 13.5 of which you were able to enjoy your basket here for 3.5 years, for which I am very grateful that I was given that opportunity. Run free, darling. We will see each other again someday, but this is so damn hard to bear. Rest in peace my sweet, sweet Eniya.

Big kiss from your mommy Angèle.

Regards from Angèle,

Carlos, Carlosje, Carloosje, a devil in a box, our Mousie Mouse, our little rascal, will always remain in our hearts. Our strong and honest “Mousie Mouse” fell asleep this morning, Carlosje is no more, the bobbin was empty, we were able to have him in our home for 12 years, almost 15 years old, half paralyzed in his hind legs he still tried to get outside, blind and deaf trusting his owners. But when we woke up this morning, we noticed that he could no longer walk. With sorrow in our hearts, we tried to reach his aunt Marianne, unfortunately, the office was closed. We went to the vet in our area, there it turned out that Carlosje's quality of life was almost zero, paralyzed and exhausted, we gently saw our Mouse leave with sadness, but with the thought, Carlos, you were a nice friend, you had a good life, all the best to you little devil and until later. 

Your owners Dirk and Martine and a paw from your playmate Indio.

Zara – July 15, 2013 – December 12, 2024

You came to us in September 2015, it was love at first sight.

You brought us so much joy, the sheep and chickens were your friends from day one, you liked people a little less, especially men you did like less. We could only imagine how that happened.

But when we adopted Lily and, by her example, you gained a lot more confidence.

We were not ready for it yet.

My beautiful girl, my sun lover, Zara

Yes, we go for her.

Mollenhoeve May 1, 2021.

Soon she was Our Queen. Our modest, quiet Russian Rose. So beautiful, so soft.

Eros adored her. Lulabelle, our Spanish Fury, had respect for her. The boys surrounded her warmly. Sometimes when she thought we did not see her, she would hold a cuddly toy. Or secretly playing, dancing in the distance with Jamie. Our hearts would fill up, yes, she was happy in her world.

Tears of sadness.

But also tears of happiness that we were able to give her such beautiful years, supported by our pack.

You were 17 years old, my beautiful Santa.

So much love shared 💞💞

You were everything to me, and I probably everything to you.

The house is very empty without you.

My heart bleeds every day.

I will never stop loving you.

You will be my most beautiful star.

Rest in peace my doll ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Dear Tana, when we picked you up on GINB's adoption day in May 2014, we knew you belonged with us. You were brought to our table, sat down next to Kobe's chair and put your head on his lap. He was barely 2 years old then, the same age as you. Full of confidence, we set off on a beautiful journey of 10 years. For 10 years you were our sidekick and that of the boys. Our dearest "Aunt Tana", we will miss you terribly.

Thank you for everything and see you again someday!

On the 12^th of October 2021, as a 9-year-old girl, Sofieke found her golden basket with Mrs. Carry V G via a detour.

Letter from Sofieke

Dear, I have now arrived, high above the clouds and I am together with Bompa Indio. I have been ill. Furia is now taking care of my mother. Thank you for taking me to my mother then.

Lots of love and paws.

 Dearest Queen Ziva,

12 years ago, we consciously chose you, and this was the best decision we ever made. The first year was a bit of a search, you were the biggest rascal that was walking around here. Thereafter you became best friends with Juul, you were 8 legs on 1 belly, you did everything together, romping, sleeping, etc...

Everything was Ziva proof, but that did not stop you from taking all the tissues, drinking our coffee (especially with milk), if we were not fast enough to take our food from the table and you even explored the trash bins. You had a place on the couch that was always yours, this was your favorite place and will always remain so. A few years later Romeo came to expand our pack, and it was love at first sight for you too, you always wanted to play with him. Last year we saw that you were getting old, yet you always continued with the same energy that you always had. The last few weeks everything started to go a bit slower, and we saw that it was enough for you.

Dearest “mussel” we will miss you so much, your energy, your hugs, your crazy stunts but especially your unconditional love. Thank you for 12 super beautiful years, rest now, you will always be our biggest star in the sky.

Big kiss Anne, Anouck, Tim, Juul🐾 & Romeo🐾 ❤️

Dear Tiburon,

With great pain in our hearts, you are no longer our angel on earth. You flew back over the rainbow to our great sorrow. From the first minute during our car ride home, after the adoption day, you lay so familiarly on the backseat with your head on my lap, your eyes looked at me and the magic jumped over. We were going to be “soulmates” for life.

You were so sweet, affectionate and sometimes a little crazy, but you stole everyone's heart. We had a wonderful time together; you were always very close to us. We were inseparable. In a painfully brutal way, you were torn from our lives in a few days. You could not overcome the malignant disease, and we saw you leave our lives a little more day by day. On the 21^st of July you gave up your battle after 2 weeks of hard fighting.

We are devastated with grief, but we comfort ourselves that we were still able to give you 5 beautiful years and that your “mateke” may always come and live in our hearts.

Zoë has gone over the rainbow to dog heaven to meet Chula and Fredje. You had been sick for a while, but today you gave up.  What a very sweet galgo you were. My buddy in everything. You understood me so well. A bit special, because you were afraid of everyone during the first few years. But more and more you blossomed and started meeting people you did not know. The children will miss you too, you were their best friend. You asked for enough attention, and you could so beautifully look at me. How I am going to miss you.

Good luck Zoë and say hello to everyone up there.

In Memoriam Tana

Almost 9 years ago we contacted you…we wanted information about a galgo. Soon we received a phone call from Marie-Thérèse, with all the explanations we were looking for and an invitation to come and have a look at a walk, which we did. That was the moment we fell in love…. Stefan made his choice, according to his intuition, our dog… it became Tana.

Almost for 9 years we could have her with us.  Nothing was too difficult for her, in the meantime two babies arrived… Tana always remained sweet, involved, and reliable. She was content and grateful quickly… We had wonderful years with her!  In the last months her behavior changed, she became restless, and barked more and more, she became incontinent, her hind leg muscles failed sometimes.

Old age had announced itself (+-14 years). But she still went through, happily with a streak of sun on her snout and not interested in the back garden when it was raining. This morning, she had a brain stroke. She fell, and could not stand up or keep her head straight, her eyes turned in all directions…

It was heart breaking what you are looking at…you know… but still… She is gone now and not here anymore…she left us peacefully. Her basket is empty just like our heart and our family is left behind sad, but grateful that Tana could be part of it. Because lovely people…I confirm, she was more than worth every of your efforts!

She was a pearl out of your beautiful collection…our dear Tana.

Kind regards.
