Our dearest Zu,
My girl for 17 years. You survived snake bites, skinning yourself and dog attacks.
You are the most strongest little dog that we have ever known.. when old age finally caught up with you, it was an extremely hard goodbye.. we love you Zu, run free with Nibbler..

Fluffy (est2010-2023)

Christened Fluffy Bum. Called Fluff, Fluffy, Fluffbutt, Chicken, Noisy Girl. Whatever it was you didn’t mind so long as it came with attention, or food.

I was told that you’d hatched wild but an accident as a baby meant that you were brought in to be cared for. I was told that you took to human company so well and was in turn spoiled so much that it was decided you were never meant to stay in the wild.
You then passed into the care of someone I knew.

I could tell you were special for the moment I met you, years before I knew that you’d become part of my family. 6 months I was asked to give you a home and 6 years you stayed.

For someone so tiny you knew how to be the biggest personality in the room. You’d chatter along with conversations and yell into every phone call you could. Just so they knew you were there.

I was constantly amazed at how bright and clever you were. Always seeking to communicate. You’d run into the kitchen and hop hopefully in front of the fridge whenever you decided it was time for a treat. You’d lure me into a game of chase and yell your excitement when you caught me. Or march into the bathroom and demand the shower be turned on, making sure to then tell the whole neighbourhood how happy you were to be taking a shower.

All those years of play and cuddles and scritches (and you preening my eyebrows) you were there for so many of life’s ups and downs, you celebrated the highs with me and comforted me through the lows. If only I had your comfort now to get through this very difficult time of losing you.
You will always be in my heart and no doubt the memories of all who knew and loved you. Rest well beautiful girl.

We miss you dearly fly high my big boy

Our beautiful baby boy was born on the 31st March 2011 and soon after that he became a very important part of our family.

From a very young age and right up until his passing he was full of mischief, love and excitement. As he grew older he became very set in his ways and his routines and would often run the house hold.

He loved spending his days driving in the Ute with his dad (Ray), going to the local high school to run around and going on coffee runs on the weekend.

His Mum (Di) always made sure he had a full tummy, fresh blankets and that his favourite toy, Lamby, was packed for any long trips they took.

Bert was loved by so many. His family, friends, the community and strangers. He was loved and still is loved beyond all measure.

We would give anything to have you back Bertie and we can take some small amount of comfort in knowing you are in a better place.

You will forever be in our thoughts and our hearts.

We love you Bertie forever and always x

Ellie Mae began her life at Wellcamp where we had a small farm. She loved sitting on a rock up high in the paddock to see what she could find to catch or chase. She had so much fun out there on our acres & was a very happy cat.
We then moved her to Hodgson Vale where she didn’t have as much land to roam on but she loved it there as well. She loved chasing the lizards that lived in the rocks & she killed a few snakes there as well. She loved the grandchildren coming out to play & she would play with them & have lots of fun.
She got older & so did we, so we moved to town. There she enjoyed snuggles & pats under her chin & she loved coming to bed with us & would purr very loudly.
She was a beautiful girl & always talked to her Mum. She loved her Dad as well & we are going to miss her beautiful soul. RIP gorgeous girl.

Oh our crazy little Merlin. 9 days without you, 9 days since we saw you happy and alive. I want to turn back time, and bring you back. May you be running around crazy with your brother Kovu. We miss you so much Merlin, it’s not fair. Why did you leave 🙁

Our sweet baby Kovu. Your time here was never meant to be for long, your heart wasn’t going to last. But the 3 months that we had together, was long enough to fall in love with you. Forever a baby, gone way too soon. Kovu, now Merlin is up there with you too

The world won’t ever be the same without you. You brought light to every single day and proved that size does not change a thing about the quality of life, the bond that can be formed, or the impression that can be left behind. You loved with your whole heart and you lived with it too. There wasn’t a person (or mouse-fearer) that did not love you and it was an honour to have been your mother, to have shared everything with you. From the Santa pics, Christmas lights, to the saunas in the bathroom and all the meals we shared in between. No measure of time with you would have ever been enough, but I am grateful for every single milisecond we did have. We were truly blessed to have eachother. I hope you are safe (and spoiled) wherever you are now and you know how deeply loved you were and always will be. You will never be forgotten and I will carry you with me wherever I go – us against the world, til the end. RIP Rolf (aka Silly Goose aka Little Nugget aka Angel aka Little Prince aka my baby boy). I love you endlessly.

“I hope you felt like I did everything I could for you, because you did everything you could for me”
