In memory of the "Tiva Monsta"

"When a dog passes on, there is an emptiness, a place in our hearts that will never be filled again in exactly the way it was. Because no matter how many dogs we have over the years, each is unique, a friend, and when they go away, our lives are changed forever in many small ways."
-Steve Smith

A tribute to my beautiful girl... forever in our hearts:
"It's hard to see the future, without her by my side. My Tiva, my Teevie, my Hairy Monsta. Tiva was a treasured and beloved family member, a best friend, a listener, a comfort pillow, a tickler (when she wags her tail and brushes up against you), a bum and ground sniffer (though it definitely wasn't encouraged) and an overall happy go lucky pup. She beyond exceeded the role of a four legged friend and possessed all you could want in an exceptional companion; Tiva was faithful, very obedient, free spirited, perceptive, gentle yet still wary, charming and incredibly affectionate to those that love her... she held impeccable courage, determination, sense, strength and stamina.

I wonder where you are now, my dear Tiva... I am in trouble and you aren't able to be here for me any more. I thank you for being my support over the year, I feel as though I never could repay you for what you have given me.

I wish only the very best for you, my beautiful girl, and hope you have reached a world of peace, a world full of things you enjoy most: freshly baked biscuits, beaches with glacier clean water (so you can finally drink to your heart's content while you swim!), lots and lots of stuffies, lush green meadows, other furry friends to play with, and all the tennis and golf balls you can retrieve. You did not deserve to suffer and I hope you never have to go through pain any more than you have endured here on this earth.

I long to be with you so that we could frolick in the fields together forever; I am awful sorry we had to part. I will miss taking you out on car rides and seeing you happy, as you stick your cute little spotted tongue out, head blowing in the wind.

I am not sure if I had given you the life you wanted, I tried to do what I could to provide you with the best possible care but wish so much that I could of done more. My love for you cannot be expressed through word Teevie pie.

You were quite a character. I miss your squinting, your whiny 'welcome home' greet, the black hair and fuzz you leave on my clothes, feeling your head propped up on my knee, hearing the vigorous thumping of your tail as it hits the floor when you wag it, taking you to Emily Carr and to BCIT, and seeing you brush up and rub your head against one particular locker at that school, why you would do such still remains a mystery. I terribly miss when you nudge me, this life I am living is now lonely, cold and bleak; I feel a certain emptiness without you Teev, and that is something I don't think will ever improve.

You brought joy and happiness to the lives of so many that I believe it is evident to say that you have deeply touched our hearts in one way or another. I miss seeing your ears stand up and your eyes brighten every time the words 'golf', 'walk', or 'car ride' are mentioned... I hope you enjoyed all the places Jon and I took you to explore... you were truly the greatest companion anyone could ever have asked for and deserved every bit of love from us.

I never thought before how I would live without you by my side but now I know I will never be the same again. Why you had to be taken so soon remains a mystery to all of us, it is unfair that such tragedies have to happen to the best of us.
I know you hope this grieving of mine will soon come to an end. Yes I am trying to cope with pain and heartbreak but one day I hope I will be able to get through losing you. I have held a special place for you in my heart since the day I took you home and wild horses could never drag my love for you away.

Such misfortune that an unhappy twist of faith has brought upon us, a most unbearable heaven of grief, but I haven't said goodbye. I cannot and will not say goodbye. God has decided to cease you but this is not the end nor is it really a beginning. Though I cannot touch you as your body is no longer within my reach, I can still feel your presence. You are not a memory, but rather an endearing and active spirit that will forever live inside my heart.

I know one day we will meet again, and until then, please know that
I miss you and will always love you Tiva darling,
every moment, every minute and every day. "
