Louis Vuitton

 

IN LOVING MEMORY OF LOUIS VUITTON. Louis passed away on Sunday March 1, 2020 at Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center after suffering from congestive heart failure. 

 

Louis was born in Pittsburgh, PA on March 15, 2005. His father was unknown. His mother was a stray cat taken in by a co-worker and friend of mine. Louis was the runt of the liter out of his five brothers and sisters. He also lived in Erie, PA for a few years. 

 

Louis was adopted at 8 weeks olds and immediately became my fur baby. He was so tiny I had to keep a bell on his collar to be able to find him. He was very playful and mischievous as a kitten. He was much better at climbing than he was at jumping. Once, he climbed to the top of an area rug rolled up in the corner and fell asleep. He became even more energetic in the following years. He would pound on the closet doors until you woke up and fed him. He did not slow down until nearly the end. 

 

Louis was very passionate about his sleeping spots, in the bath tub, the sink, inside the dresser drawer, under his blanket, next to his giant Eeyore, or on top of my head. He could always find the one sun spot in the house and would lay upside down in it. He would show off my standing on his hind legs. He was spoiled with only filtered drinking water or better yet, the water from my drinking glass. He only recently enjoyed Almond milk, catnip and ice cream. Although, his favorite treat was shrimp. He would’ve eaten the flowers had he been allowed. He had his favorite toy plush dog, maybe because the bell reminded him of his baby collar. He carried the dog around with him everywhere and seemed to share his food, sleeping spots and even his travels with. He loved having his beautiful long fur brushed. He was happy to go outside and lay on a porch but never strayed away. He did well in the car as he traveled since he was a baby. He was very receptive to pet sitting in the past few years with other dogs and cats and had even made a few friends he will miss. 

 

Louis outgrew a heart murmur he was born with. He successfully lived with diabetes for the past five and half years being insulin dependent. He was very strong cat and lived a long and happy life. He had his toy dog and his blanket with him at the end. I stayed by his side and remained with him even after he was gone. Louis will be forever missed and loved dearly. 

 

Thank you to Dr. Claudio Lagao for making Louis as comfortable as he could be until his passing. Also, to the staff at Green Pet Funeral Home and Crematory for showing Louis the respect he deserved. 

 

RIP Louis Vuitton  [❤] ️

 

Butters

On February 23rd we lost one of the best dogs we've ever had. Butters was a senior dog that we adopted but he never acted like one. His favorite things were ripping the squeaker out of his toys and playing with his ball. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him.
 

Cassia

Ms. Cassia was born January 30, 2013.  She brought love and joy to her family for seven years.  Smart, mischievous, lively, and loving, giving many kisses and hugs, and loved belly rubs. She and her sister from the same litter were inseparable, loved to play together and were true soul mates, as long as she was the boss. Cassia was a master of the side eye and would not hesitate to use it when she felt the need.  She enjoyed barking at cats, cars, ups trucks and anyone walking near her yard.  Cassia will be missed by many, but none more than her mom. Cassia leaves behind a sister Aura, her aunt Diann, and her mom. Please give your dog extra hugs, treats and belly rubs.

Bella

Suddenly on Friday Feb. 7th, we lost our precious Bella.  Soon after being rescued she sweetly melted into our hearts with her silly personality and unconditional love.  Zoomies and Piggies were some of her favorite hobbies.  RIP – BellaLoo – You are Greatly Missed and Never Forgotten!

Gilly

Sweet Gilly girl, your life was too short and your gentle soul will never be forgotten. We love you. 
 

Brodie

It is with a very heavy heart that we had to say goodbye to our beloved Brodie on Saturday, 2/8.  He was a wonderful companion and brought us years of love, laughter and joy!  He is over the rainbow bridge playing as he should.  He will be forever missed and loved!!  Till we meet again my sweet sweet boy!

Harry

Harry came into our lives as an abandoned kitten, someone left him outside during the winter back in 2009. We took him and his sister, Ginger and gave them a home.
Harry was a very loving cat. He loved to play with his toys and drop them at our feet.
He died suddenly and hopefully peacefully on a February 5, 2020
We we cherish his memory forever.

Montygrr Houdini

“I don’t want another cat, I have one,” I told my niece in August of 2009. “ I can’t afford it.”

  “But I no one else can take him.  My 10 month old pit bull is paying too much attention to him and Tiger “(then – now Tygrr)” is afraid of him.  Please take him, I don’t feel that he’s safe and I don’t want to give him to a shelter.”

 

   “All right.”  And after almost 11 years, I could not have afforded NOT to take him.

 

    So here he came, 5 ½ months of brains, charm, and good looks.  Why did I ever doubt?

 

   He spent his early days being manhandled by four young boys and landed in the home of a single “mature” lady.  And captured her heart.  And after 10 years he was given hyperthyroidism and lymphoma.  The first, very treatable.  The second -vicious, slippery, cunning, and unbeatable.  So, just 10 days short of his 11th birthday (yes, Valentines Day – he was a lover too)  Montygrr Houdini Havoc Bigger crossed the Rainbow Bridge. 

 

   Many adjectives have described this boy, often from his vet families.  Strikingly beautiful.  A real gentleman.  Curious.  A good cat. From his Aunt -weirdo.  From his Mom  – goofball, silly boy, my baby boy.

 

  But Montygrr H.H. Bigger would want me to leave you with this adjective to describe him:

 

Welcoming. 

 

He was a typical cat that ran when the doorbell rang, but if you were in the house more that two minutes he was right there in the middle of things to say hello and stay awhile.

 

And he wants you to know that he, and your beloved pet, and those persons who have found the Way are on the other side of that Rainbow Bridge watching, waiting, hoping, praying…To meet you again there.   So to honor them and to fulfill their hearts desire, do all that you can to find that Way, that Truth, that Life so that they can purr over you, lick your face, chase that toy until you both fall down with laughter, and then curl up on your lap or you feet and sigh contentedly knowing that you will be together forever.

 

So, from Montygrr Houdini Havoc Bigger and all his band of merriment: 

 

Come on over!  We are waiting!!!

You no longer greet us for scruffies
as we walk into the door,
And youre not here to make us smile,
To make us laugh anymore.
If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.
I know it'll take time to heal,
And for the silence to go away. 
I still listen for your footsteps,
And think back on the way you'd play. 
We will forever miss your Billy-ness,
And we know it may never be the same.
Play fighting, fetching, all that playfulness.
He has earned the worlds best “dog” name.
So when tomorrow starts without you,
Ill try to remind myself, we're not far apart-
Because everytime I think of you,
You'll be right there in my heart.
