Heaven got another angel today

[aly]

Oreo was found this morning at 8am. He was curled in his bed around his favorite toy, atop his 4 blankets. He had been at the shelter since last July, so he was one of our most spoiled boys. Shelter life was good for him. He was always happy. Even though he got kennel cough twice in the past 5 months, he made the most of it. He enjoyed being moved back to the infirmary and showed off because he had a room all to himself. Oreo never walked, he pranced everywhere he went. He loved nothing more than curling up in someone's lap and getting a tummy rub. It is a mystery why he hadn't been adopted yet. Maybe it was his age of 6 years. We will never know. Its not fair for him to leave this world yet. For the first 5 and a half years of his life, he was tied to a tree outside 24/7. I am so devastated that awful place is the only home he knew. Although the shelter was actually a home to him. He was so happy and he did get to receive a lot of love from me and my coworkers. We are having a funeral on Saturday.

The exact cause of death is not known. They think it may have been a heart attack or he may have eaten a baited mouse.

Oreo - you will be missed terribly. I love you so much.

Aly, I am so sorry for the loss of such a beautiful soul. But, I know he could not have been in better hands than yours and your co-workers. I'm glad he knew real love.

Sometime's I think God just gets so lonesome for certain animals (and people) that He just can't stand being away from them a second longer, so calls them home. I'm sure Oreo knew how loved he was by all of you. Maybe the Rainbow Bridge needed another special Valentine.
Rest easy sweet Oreo. Only good times are ahead for you now.

[Tanya&Fritz]

Oh no! Not little Oreo Aly, I am so sad for your loss, I have tears in my eyes.

RIP sweet Oreo! I am glad you got to know what a tummy rub was in the last 6 months! Remember the feeling because I want to give you another one someday if you meet me at the bridge!!

[Chinadoll]
