In Memoriam

 



 

Tara

Little Tara you had become a little old lady. So adorable and charming. You were adopted in Norway.

You were saved from the dog pound where you were going to be put down, of course. Your owners had had a baby and after so many years they took you there. So often the same story. 

You left this world wrapped in the arms of your young owner. La Higuera is in mourning. Good bye Tara. You left the cruel world of this country only to find love and warmth in another but just for a short time. Rest in peace beautiful Tara. You will forever stay in my heart together with all those who have left us.

River

 Min älskade River! Du var mitt allt och det finns ingen rättvisa i att du inte finns mer! Du stal mitt hjärta och du kommer alltid att ha det kvar. Nu har du inte ont längre och jag hoppas att du springer i frihet och njuter av varje sekund. Det är så tomt här hemma och jag påminns i allt jag gör. Lilla Noor saknar dig också. Du lämnade ett stort avtryck i vår familj och vi kommer aldrig att glömma dig! Jag älskar dig lilla fisen! Thank you Julie for let me adopt him, I don´t regret a minute, I just wish we could get more time-it was too soon...
Sanna

Why River? Because you were found in a dry river by Franz. You had been abandoned but you were adopted soon after by Sanna as you were such a sweet, gentle little thing.I know you had a wonderful life with Sanna in Sweden. She was stunned by the vets diagnosis...an operation wasn't possible and so little River from the river in Almunecar you could no longer walk. I am very sad. With your passing it is the end of an era. Rest in peace little Andalusian River. You will always remain in my heart and in the heart of Franz who found you .

Julie

Gazela


When you came back from the forest you loved so much to find Elizabeth and Matt, sometimes with a present in your mouth, but this time the wheel of a car was waiting for you... I remember you...You were so small, so sick when I took you to the clinic in my arms. Carmen was sure you wouldn't survive. I can see you once more running around in the same clinic when you were better. It was like a miracle! But your life stopped there..You were so young but so much loved. Goodbye little Gazelita, as I used to call you. Elisabeth and Matt will have given you months of happiness. You now find yourself protected by other dogs from La Higuera as well as by your mummy and daddy. Rest in peace my little Angel. I shall never forget you. You were one of the most special dogs who I welcomed to La Higuera.

Al Andaluz

The awful news came up in my computer. Andaluz is dead. I read and re-read the message twice... You were a wonderful dog. Sweet creature abandoned on a roof where nobody would have found you and you would have died... But... I loved you for three years. In the end you left me to join Lilian and you became the baby of the house. Rest in Peace in the Paradise for Happy Dogs.

Julie May 2011

Luna

Luna left me without a sound. Her old heart stopped beating. I found her dead in her bed. She had some wonderful years with Antonia. Goodbye little angel RIP in peace, sweedt poodle.

Julie Mai 2011



Sammy

I have had to send you to paradise where all the other sweet dogs go. You were so tender and so beautiful..A malignant tumour.
Rest in peace little Samy. You will forever remain in my heart

Julie.



SOFTY

I saved you from a centre where only death awaited you.
You came to La Higuera..you were sweet and mischievous...we adored you.
A malignant tumour stole you away from us.
But I am happy to have been able to give you some months of happiness and serenity and above all, love....

Good bye Softy!


 

"308"  ANGELINA

Since yesterday my little ''308 is no more.
She left me just a few minutes after her arrival at the clinic....her heart...
She came from Sevilla where thanks to Karmela I had been able to save her.
Her executioners hadn't been able to kill her as she had hidden behind a water trough...yesterday the water trough wasn't there to save her...
She was our little Champagne cork, happy, mischievous, tende, sweet and so pretty....
Gudrun and Bo were waiting for her...
Goodbye little heart
We are all sad here.

Rest in peace little angel.

IKER

Den 7 april tok vi den tunge å triste avgjørelsen om å la Iker få sovne rolig inn.

Glad han kom til oss så han fikk det bra resten av livet sitt her hos oss. det fortjente han!

Hvil i fred Iker!



KIKO

Kiko, min lilla bebis har lämnat oss efter åtta underbara år! Det gör så ont i mitt hjärta! Du var en del av mig, Du fanns alltid vid min sida och var alltid glad! Trots att Du inte såg något så var Dina övriga sinnen så skarpa och Du hittade överallt i huset och trädgården, när Du gömde Dina tuggben så visste Du alltid var Du hade gömt dem! Du blev aldrig arg när vi snubblade över Dig utan fortsatte glatt att gå intill mig! När jag tappade Ditt koppel på promenaden så fortsatte Du gå utan att vika från min sida! Du var alltid lydig och kom när vi ropade på Dig!

Du var mitt hjärta, Du var luften som jag andades och Du betydde allt för mig! Du var alltid glad, aldrig någonsin arg på något eller någon, Ditt idoga skällande gjorde både oss grannarna galna ibland. Vi skrattade gott när Du åkte kana på huvudet upp och ner i soffan och när Du busade med runt med Frittemannen trots att han var mer än dubbelt så stor som Du! Du hade så mycket tok för dig, många skratt fick vi, som nu har blivit tårar som aldrig tycks sluta rinna!

Varje morgon så gav Du din ”pappa” en morgonkram och varje kväll fick han en ”kvällskram”, frukosten delade Ni på varje morgon, det blev alltid en ost- eller smörgåsbit över till Kiko! Du tuggade med de få tänder Du hade kvar i munnen men åt ändå glatt Ditt torrfoder varje kväll, kattmat skulle Du ha mitt i natten och jag gick troget upp varje natt och gav Dig en påse som Du glufsade i Dig, sen skulle Du gå ut på en nattpromenad som Din trötta matte tyckte varade en hel evighet!

Dina pussar gjorde mig alltid glad och Du tröstade alltid mig när jag var ledsen! Du hittade alltid en fläck på både matte och husse som Du kunde slicka ren.

När jag satt vid Din sida när Du somnade in så bad jag Dig om en sista puss på min kind, jag höll upp Ditt huvud och Du gav mig en liten puss, dina krafter var slut och ditt liv rann sakta ut.

Det känns som om jag aldrig kommer att bli glad igen!

Men nu vet jag att du slipper lida, du kan se igen, springa och busa med Za-Za, Ingen smärta eller lidande finns där Du är nu, Du har det bra på andra sidan!

Du är så älskad och saknad! Vi gråter av sorg och saknad men vet att vi kommer att vi ses igen! Fritteman saknar sin vän och letar efter Dig men hittar Dig inte!

Du tog mitt hjärta och jag har ditt hjärta så väl bevarat i mitt. Vår älskade lilla Kiko är borta men finns alltid kvar! Vi älskar Dig! Sov gott min vän!

Mamma, Pappa, Fritteman, Sixten och Mizzy

Borlänge den 28 januari 2010




My baby was never able to accept the separation from his mother...
He immediately got sick... then he got better until this morning, Sunday..I had just given him his special meal...I found him without life, when only 15 minutes beforehand he had been sitting down looking at me.
He was Darlin's son. She arrived at my house pregnant, he was born on my bed!
It is so hard now for me to lose dogs... how my old heart bleeds and cries just as the whole of La Higuera did today for Davinci.

Till minne av

ZESSAN (fd higudadios)

6 januari 2010

Himlen har fått tillbaka en älskade ängel…..

Om jag ska beskriva dig med mina egna ord…

Du var hjärtat som slog i min kropp, du var luften som jag andades och nu

Finns du inte längre, det gör så ont i mig, jag kan inte andas hjärtat har slutat slå och jag vet inte hur jag ska kunna leva vidare utan dig i mitt liv? Du fanns alltid vid min sida, jag behövde bara ropa så kom du med huvudet högt och svansen viftandes, alltid glad och go.

Aldrig sen med att ge en puss när du behövde det, du var så kelig och kärleksfull

Du hade så mycket tok för dig, många skratt fick vi, som nu har bildats till tårar som aldrig tycks sluta rinna.

Minnen av dig när du busar med dina kompisar, jagar fåglar, ekorrar och myser med tintin! Du och han hade ett speciellt band.. han saknar dig. Vi alla saknar dig

Men nu vet jag att du slipper lida, du kan se igen, springa och busa med nallen, utan någon smärta mer. Du har det bra, där du är nu, på andra sidan.

Du är så älskad och saknad

Så jag säger inte farväl…för vi ses igen..

Du tog mitt hjärta och jag har ditt hjärta så väl bevarat i mitt.

våran älskade prinsessa

Abuelito has left us. He suffered a heart attack during his last night.
Antonia found him in his little bed....asleep for ever.
15 years old, with Leishmaniosis and a diabetic.
A little thing who lived a happy life filled with our care and love.

Julie 



Sweet Serafina has left me...
A stay at the hospital to detect a fast moving urea..but it proved fatal for her. She was very old and didn't want to eat her special diet. She came towards the edge of my bed  to die...and that's how I found her when I came back from doing the shopping...
She had been abandoned in the streets of Alicante and it was Maryanne who sent her to me...she lived a happy life amongst us all...she was extremely affectionate and quiet...she loved everybody-
A sad day but one must know how to prepare for separation from our old animals....it is really very sad..we all believe we are immortal above all those whom we love.
Serafina, your memory will forever remain at La Higuera where you sleep in my little cemetery.
Good bye
Julie

Dear Julie,

Oh Julie how sad. I always said that of all dogs that have been in my home if I could have kept her she would have stayed with me. She was the sweetest, best dog in the world.
Many thanks for looking after her for all these years, years which have been happy ones for her. I still remember that winter night when I found her in the middle of the forest. I have no idea how she survived all alone in such cold conditions and without food. She was full of fleas and very thin.
I am very sad to hear this unexpected news but at the same time I feel calm because she was so happy with you.
A big kiss Julie. And thank you...despite what has been said I still believe you are a guardian angel for sad and lonely dogs.

Marian

Mandy was attacked by some big dogs and despite Juan's efforts he died a few hours later...
This was in June.
I couldn't bear to see a photo of him but now I must immortalise him in In Memoriam.
Mandy was the best chihuahua I have ever had. He was always happy, always wagging his little tail....I never heard him bark once.
He loved me to bits.
He was killed by the big dogs when he jumped out of his enclosure to be with me. 

Repose en paix mon petit ami.

Tu resteras a tout jamais dans mon coeur.

Julie

Adopted in Spain by a friend...but she couldn't settle living in an apartment and escaped...The second time she escaped was fatal...the wheels of a car were waiting for her as she left the apartment.
You didn't suffer, your death was instantaneous.
Good bye little Breton, so sweet. No-one understood anything about you...except seeing the dance of your tail when you were happy...to see me..
Good bye
Julie 8th August 2009    





Our beautiful and good Chico has had to be put to sleep after a stupid accident....

Ingvor and myself miss him and will continue to miss him. His nobility, his goodness, his kindness towards humans and his friends make him impossible to forget.

Julie and Ingvor 6 August 2009 

Beto

No, we will not age together at La Higuera….

My dear Friend left us, quietly, sweetly, as he was during all of these years with me…….

An old heart that stopped, he had not been well since several months……

 

Adieu Beto, you rest in the Cemetery of La Higuera.

Julie – July 2009




Lotus Elise

Our beloved Lotus Elise is gone.

She will always be remembered for her big heart and kindness.

Karamel

Min underbara Karamel som levde med mig juni 2005 fram till hösten 2007. Hans liv slutade med en svår sjukdom som snabbt tog honom ifrån mig. Ifrån oss alla, vi var många som älskade honom. Fortfarande sörjer jag honom. Tankarna är med honom varje dag.
 
My sweet Karamel who lived with me from jnue 2005 untill the autumn 2007. Then a severe cancer took him away from mee. From all of us, we were many that loved him. I´m still morning and having great sorrow after him. My thougths is with him still every day.
 
Best of all with Love to my Karamel.



Ruffo the most senior member of La Higuera left us yesterday....
After about one year he had become blind in one eye and then in the other...
Of course he always had the desire to live, to eat, to continue walking every morning in a place he knew by heart...with me.
He spent the last three days sleeping, just sleeping..no longer moving when I came to see him...but he continued to have a ferocious appetite...so it was really a dilemma for me....put him to sleep or keep him...he showed no signs of suffering but he was vegetating...
So we both made the last journey together.
Good bye my little fifteen year old Pekenese.....
I remember he was the great friend of Jon who left La Higuera in 2004.

1st July 2009
Julie 



I took Kiova on her last journey...her head rested on my knees as I was driving...her eyes expressed how much she was suffering.

Good bye Kiova, you didn't have the time to know the land of great fjords and huge prairies...you have gone to join your master who left you an orphan one year ago....
Julie

So sweet and so full of life, our sweet little Jara.
You had just arrived in januari and you filled our house with your being, your jokes (eating all the cookies...), playing with the cats and our Wolf.
And now are you gone, your heart was to big. Filled with love, but also litteraly to big, a birthdefect did the vet say.
We shall miss you so much, with your funny face and your fun in live.
Dear Jara, we are so glad that we could share these few months with you and that we could enjoy eachother.
You leave an empty place in our house, but not in our hearts, we love you.
 
Ron, Hieke, Luka and your dogfriend Wolf



With great sadness I had to put my beloved Galgo, Charlotte to sleep whom I saved from a killing centre in Badajoz 5 years ago.
She was 14 years old...the journey to the vets was an extremely difficult one...but Juan the vet as always in such difficult moments was marvelous. I was full of regret , her huge eyes looking at me so sweetly. It is true she had a particular way of looking at me as though she was always asking me something..we had a silent communication...we understood each other.
We slept together, her head on my stomach..she knew how to make herself so small and yet I always felt her presence.
Last summer she had to be hospitalised for 2 months at the hospital SOS Animales de Malaga because she had an urea infection...She would only survive a further 8 months more
 
Adieu Charlotte

Hildur/Hilly

 

Lilla Hilly blev offer för en kungsörn.

Detta hände den 20 januari 2009

under en helt vanlig skogspromenad,

där hon sprang lös.

Hilly var en helt underbar hund.

Vi sörjer henne så mycket.

Ingo vår gamla hund kan ännu inte fatta

varför Hilly inte kommer hem.

 

Farväl Hilly, du lever för alltid i våra hjärtan

This last days he was not good.....kidneys urea...until the last moment he was eating,,, he found a bone in my way... so happy

Yuko
Yuko left me…he died in my arms at 4 o'clock in the morning….looking
at me, wanting me to give me a message….merci, I have been happy with
you….I say he left me, because this little guy lived only for me,
waited for me behind the door of my room, came to have his food,
special in my kitchen…always close to me….I had consulted the Vet the
day before his death; he had difficulties with breathing and this
since a few weeks, but in spite of all the efforts and medications….he
slipped into a better world.
 
Adieu, little Yuko, you too will stay close to my heart!

Boxy
La Higuera draws a big black veil – after Yuko, I had to put to sleep
my love of my boxer, Boxi….he too an old one….but who ran happily with
his friend, the Galgo Dodger. His allergy had become totally invasive,
one month alright, another one without resources….he started not to
eat anymore….so, I took him into my arms so that he wouldn't suffer
anymore…..an interminable way to the Vet and his eyes looked at me….he
had understood…..
 
So there we are, one friend less at La Higuera.

 

Adolf/ Doffe
Var inte ledsna kära ägare. Här skiner alltid solen, gräset är alltid grönt och vattnet från fontänerna badar oss i sin härliga värme. Jag har fått många vänner. Självklart kommer jag att sakna din ömhet och vattnet runt ön Södra Stavsudda där jag älskade att bada, och alla andra hundar: Gregorio, Bozo, Titine, Rhomy, Cecar och Bernadotte, och ni kommer sakna mig. Kvällen innan jag somnade tänkte jag på dig och Bobbo min mamma och pappa, jag levde hos er i fem år, fem lyckliga år gav ni mig. Jag lärde de små att simma och var som en far för dom. Jag fyllde huset med glädje, ro och min "joie de vivre". Jag var sprudlande glad och alltid redo för party. Plötsligt saboterade en räv fälla allt för mig och mitt liv hängde på en skör tråd... Men varför fanns en sådan så nära mitt hem? Jag blev så illa skadad att veterinären inte kunde hjälpa mig och beslutet måste tas att stoppa mitt lidande. Som ni människor säger " 'C'est la vie'" men jag, en Monsieur med fyra ben säger det är inte livet! Nu är jag här i mitt Paradis där jag ska spendera min första jul utan dig. Jag omfamnar er alla och glömmer inte Dorina, den gamla hästen, Rulf Lua, kossan, Nasselina, den gamla suggan och katterna: Puff, Tyson, Ida, Gabriel, Hedda och Simba. Jag har levt i Noah´s Ark.

Adolf, er vän för alltid
 
 

Please don't be sad dear owners. Here the sun always shines, the grass
is always green and the waters of the fountains bathe us in their sweet warmth...
I have made many friends.
Of course your tenderness and the water of the Island of Stavsudda,
where I loved to swim, and all the other dogs Fidel. Gregorio, Bozo
and Titine, Rhomy and Bernadotte will all miss me.
The evening before going to sleep I think about you and Bobo and
Ingvor yiu my l kind owners.
I lived happily for 5 years, a life full of joy. I taught the little
ones how to swim, I was like a Daddy to them. I filled the house with
happiness, nobility and my 'joie de vivre'. I was like a champagne
cork, always ready for a party.
Suddenly a fox trap broke everything and my life was in the
balance...but why did they put it so close to home? I was so badly
injured the vet couldn't do anything and they decided to put an end to
my suffering.
As you humans say 'C'est la vie' but me, a Monsieur with four legs I
say thats not life
Now here in my Paradise where I shall spend my first Christmas without
you I embrace you all without forgetting Dorina, the old horse, Rulf
Lua, the cow, the old sow Nasselina and the cats, Puff, tysson, ida,
Gabriel, Hedda and Simba. I lived in Noah's Ark.
 
 
Adolph, your friend for ever.





Oma/Luna
 My little Luna, adopted almost 4 years ago from JR, died peacefully on Friday morning: She had been suffering from Cushing's Syndrome but that was not the cause of her death. She had been, as usual, close to my chair while I was working at the computer. When I looked down to
her she seemed to be extremely quiet and I noticed that she didn't seem to be breathing. I rushed her to the Vet but she had already been gone.
 
My Luna was a lovely little girl, extremely intelligent and her
nature? I called her my little Madam because she ruled Chato, her companion, and myself totally and absolutely and made me laugh a lot with her antics. Chato missed her to the point that today was the first time since Friday that he ate a little bit. He is a very sad little dog and so am I.
 
Rest in Peace, my little Madam.

Rauber
 Rauber is dying….Rauber is dead…….
This morning we were at the Hospital SOS Animales de Málaga……since two days our dear Yorkshire is not well; yesterday the Veterinary in Nerja only gave us bad news and they were confirmed this morning; no hope and before he should not suffer, we made the terrible decision. Rauber is suffering from a liver cancer….a tumor of 2cms will put an end to his life…his long life of 11 years.
The abandoning by his mistress was a shock for him; we tried to give
him all the love and attention that a Yorky of his age needed…Mitzou took him into her home and you can believe that he was happy, very happy; he had even been able to forget his former mistress. Tomorrow, he will leave us forever…..Once more, I am writing to you with bad news….the death of a dog is always a great despair for me, even more so when we decide that he shouldn't suffer any more.
 
Adieu, dear little Yorky, you will always have a favorite place in my
heart and, I am sure, in the hearts of Mitzou and Germán.

 A sad mail from Manolo, the Veterinary of the Refugio de
Aguilas….Chispita died last night….she was going to leave for Norway
at the end of the month. I will get some information of the reason for
this death…..
 
Little Chispita, you won't get to know the tenderness of your new
family….Rest in Peace. Life is so unjust!

Hayo
My friend of three years, has already left us….he was to be
happy…between Alma and…Mikaela……. This morning, at 7 o'clock, he was the first to come out into the yard…..Death was waiting for him in the
form of a piece of meat soaked in strychnine…..Taken to the Clinic
immediately, every possible treatment was given him, but the poison
was too strong. This is the second time that La Higuera was the victim
of poisoning.
 
Little Podenco so sweet, be happy….we will miss you!!

I have just learned that my little ALEGRO isn't with us anymore……
 I couldn't believe it…Alegro so cheerful, so happy…life is so unjust!
 
Rest in peace, Little Andaluz, who arrived at La Higuera, saved from a Center where he was going to be sacrificed……

 I will never forget you! JULIE


  


 Anna
You went to sleep forever, as was your life with Conchi who had picked you up…calm, sweet, full of joy and love, of happiness….You went to sleep in her arms….very weakened by a tumor and an operation, you couldn't recuperate, and this morning you crossed the "bridge" without getting to know your mistress who waited for you in Sweden….and
without getting to know the new happiness that awaited you. Little Podenco girl, silent and sweet, Adieu.
 
Conchi is crying for you and your mistress also, and, of course, myself.

Bosco
La Higuera is in mourning…..our little Bosco , with those very
beautiful eyes, has left us…..After his feeding, he was playing but
then became very ill….I took him immediately at eight o'clock in the
morning to the Vet, twisting of the stomach….immediate operation….but about 4 to 5 hrs later he died. I am writing these lines with tears in my eyes….little Bosco will not have the joy of a family in Sweden….little Bosco has left us.
My most deep gratitude to the family that was waiting for him….a marvelous friend left us, a little dog so good, so sweet, so tender…….Julie





 Peseta
Goodbye my friend of almost six years….
 
You have left us, asleep….no words can express your great kindness, your sweetness and your love for all of us at La Higuera…

Blondi


You arrived one Autumn morning,
6 years ago now, abandoned by your owners!

 
La Higuera was your last home…..
 
This morning, you faded away,
like a used up candle,
surrounded by the
love of all of your friends….
 
You were the one who consoled all of those who,
arriving at La Higuera, felt a little "lost"…..
 
Rest in Peace, dear Blondi.

Sally

Min kjære SALLY
forlot oss så altfor tidlig.
Vi savner deg så,
du kommer alltid å være i våres hjerter.
Du var solstrålen i våres liv.
Vi elsket deg, du var bare snill å god, aldri et bjeff.
Du logret og ville opp når vi kom hjem,
du strålte når vi gikk på tur.

Jeg savner deg så,
du som lå i våres seg, enda det ikke var lov,
men du lurte deg opp om natten,
å så lurt på oss når vi våknet,
"liksom jeg har ikke gjort noe galt".

Vi er så glade for at du kom inn i våres liv,
men er så veldig veldig lei oss nå når du er borte.

SOV I RO MIN KJÆRE SALLY

La Higuera is in mourning….
this morning my little Joy left us….
The wheel of a car made her cross the bridge to the Rainbow…
she was the first little rescuee….
I had found her, when three months old,
dehydrated, abandoned and in a very bad state
on the roof of a farm…..
the Judge entrusted her to me….
this was my first success before the Court of Almuñecar….
and was my second dog after Fleur.

You filled us, Franz and myself, with joy, happiness,
to see you so cheerful, so bubbly,
so happy every time when somebody arrived….
you talked to us….
you told us how much you loved us,
how happy you were to live at La Higuera,
surrounded by your friends, Yorki and Loli….
La Higuera is sad….
Adieu little ray of sunshine Adieu Joycita….
Adieu.

Julie – July 10th, 2007

Smiley
 

Vi kommer aldrig att få se Smiley le igen...
Smiley lämnade oss denna eftermiddag...

Merci till Hans och hans familj som välkomnade honom,
älskade honom och som gav honom möjligheten att dela
glädjen i en familj, något som han inte visste något om.

Smiley var en rar Galgo,
räddad från Badajoz helvete...

Adieu Smiley,
hela La Higuera sörjer...

Tindra/Chiki
 
Min älskade lilla Tindra,
jag saknar dig så.
Du kommer alltid ha en plats i mitt hjärta.
Alla underbara minnen och upplevelser
kommer finnas kvar inom mig.
Tack för den korta men underbara
tid Tyra och jag hann få med dig.
Vi syns i Nangiala...
 
Viktoria
 
 
Petite et douce Chiki,

Tes yeux si beaux furent difficiles a oublier...ton amabilite,
ta noblesse et ta sensibilite, de meme...
triste nouvelle, la patte d'un cheval t'a envoye au Paradis des
"Toutous" gentils....

Repose en paix, tu resteras a jamais dans mon coeur.

Julie Mai 2007 




Freddy
 
Adieu petite chose si tendre,
si gaie et si fragile...
Tu nous a quitte ce jour,
sans raisons.

Adieu.

Linda
 

Our little Grandmother of Julierescue has left us…
12 years old, a cerebral stroke sent our little
Poodle Grandma to the Doggie Paradise…
She was, during her stay at La Higuera and
with our dear Antonia, our ray of sunshine,
trotting around, covered by her little red coat,
lying in the sun…….

To Tina, who was her last mother,
to Gregorio in Spain who saved her from
a Centre where death waited for her,
thank you for having given her a few
more months of happiness…

Adieu little "Abuelita"….
we will never forget you!

Julie, March 2007 




Hariett
 
Little Harriet, so cheerful, so full of Love,
Harriet the misunderstood one!

Be happy now where before you were denied this!!

Close your eyes and fall asleep
When you wake you're God's to keep
No more suffering no more pain
A life in peace is what you've gained
I'll miss you forever I loved you so
From now on you'll play with your brother Divino
Sweet dreams, mi chico valiente, sweet dreams...

/Mamma

Adieu petit bebe que j'ai trouve un jour sur le bord de la
route.....tu fus notre rayon de soleil, ta gentillesse et ton amour
pour les autres nous a enchante.....tu partis, comme les autres...pour
etre heureux....et tu le fus entre Alex, Poya et tes freres et
soeur....
Et cette nuit tu as quitte tout ce bonheur, pour aller retrouver Divino.

Petit Chupy......rerposes en paix.

Indiana Jones
 
 
At the news of your death,
La Higuera weeps, myself first,
little Indy who adored being
close to my PC…
Little Indy who slept next to me,
lovely little Indy who loved
running in the hills with your pals….

You should never have left your native Spain…..
you were completely misunderstood….

You will always stay in my heart,
you whom I saved from the street and who,
in the end, loved only me….
I am sad for not having
understood this!

Adieu, little Indiana Jones!

Divino

We still don't understand that you are gone forever...
It came so sudden, it happened too soon!
But we will always remember you for the sweet,
sensitive and incredibly wonderful little dog you were.
You changed our lives forever and in our hearts you
will remain until we meet again.
Sweet dreams, Divino.
We love you.

Alex, Poya, Evian, Alonso. Figaro, Marita, Charly, Tindra and Zorro

Little Divino has left us….
he didn't wake up from the castration OP in Sweden…..
I saw him for the last time on August 14th, cheerful and happy….not knowing that this was the last time……
How sad it is to think that we won't have the joy of seeing him, gamboling, playing, being happy with Alexandra and Poya, Evian and Chupy…..

Rest in peace little Divino,
you will always stay in our hearts.

Nelly

Our little white Princess with the gentle green
eyes has left us, as she had lived….quietly…..
in the arms of Antonia.

Adieu little Nelly, your illness lasted only two months…
your tenacity to conquer it filled us with wonder more
every day.
You will always stay in our hearts

Antonia, Asa and myself…..

A 'SPECIAL PLACE'
You have a special place Dear Lord
that I know you'll always keep
A special place reserved for dogs
when they quietly fall asleep
With large and airy kennels
and a yard for hiding bones
With maybe a little babbling creek
that chatters over stones.
With wide green fields and flowers
for those who never knew
about running freely under
Your sky of perfect blue.
Lord, I know You keep this Special Place
And so to you I Pray,
For one Special little puppy
Who quietly died today
She was full of love and beauty
and so very, very wise.
She is dearly missed my Lord
so please treat her very nice.
She went to join her ancestors
To Your land that is Devine
So, speak to Nelly softly please
whisper warm hello.
She's a Special gift to you Dear Lord
From me, who loved her so.

Your nice nature, your loyalty little Bretonne….
your joy on the day of your departure for Holland….
An accident, and you left for the Dogs' Paradise ………
You will stay in my heart…….

Ruby

Adjö lilla Ruby... vackra Podenca...

Din mamma sökte efter dig överallt efter din avresa
eftersom du blev adopterad till Holland.
Du lämnade Moder Jord när du sov som en liten ängel...
Du har lämnat oss alla sorgsna,
förvirrade inför denna oväntade död...

Du förblir i våra hjärtan, vackra lilla Andaluz Podenca.

Julie, La Higuera, Juli 2006

An angel in the book of life
Wrote down a dog's birth

And mentioned as he closed the book
Ruby... too beautiful for earth

Fick bara ha dig 3,5 år
Kom till oss aug/sep 02,
gick bort 3/4-06.

Saknar dig !
Puss bakom örat

Nuky
 
Allas älskade lilla Nuky.
God och underbar, så söt du var.
Du var ett litet troll som var full med bus och överraskningar. Min kärlek
till dig kommer aldrig att försvinna, du var och är en del av mitt hjärta.
Jag saknar dig så…
Men jag vet att vi kommer att ses en dag igen. Och då kan vi leva lyckliga
tillsammans i all evighet.
Lilla Nuky, vi ses snart på andra sidan.

Odie

"Bailey" (fd Bady)
Bailey´s Irish Cream
  † Sevilla, Spain, February 23, 1994 - Borlänge, Sweden, August 17, 2005 †
 

Bailey was our first dog, a solid Red male cocker spaniel. He was bigger than an average cocker, standing at 47-48cms at his withers. He had a family for 6 years of his life, and then due to the family getting a divorce, they put him in the dog rescue called Animales de Andalucia (Stockholm & Spain) in mid-2000.

 

Bailey moved in with us in January of 2001, and was a joy to own and have as a family member until his passing in 2005. We took him to an Everyday Obedience (vardagslydnad) class when Hundfocus existed here in Borlänge, and he was one of the best students there! He enriched our lives, and the lives of our younger cocker boys. Bailey was docked, as he was from Spain, where they still allow tail docking.

 

Bailey had a lot of character, he was set in his ways, and we never managed to get him out of the habit of begging for treats. As he got older, he slowed down quite a bit, stopped barking at loud noises indicating that his hearing was not what it had once been.

 

Over the past year, he off and on showed aggressiveness, and having a newborn baby that soon will be crawling, it would be what some call 'a recipe for disaster'. So we had to make the extremely difficult decision to put him to sleep. On August 17, 2005 Bailey went to Rainbow Bridge, where he is now running across fields of green, chasing sticks and enjoying the company of other dogs who are no longer among us.

Forever loved and missed. Rest in peace old Friend, we will never forget you.

 

 

Love Always.....
Magnus, Heather and Alexander +  Diesel and Rain

 

Gaston
 
Du kommer alltid att finnas i våra hjärtan, Gaston! Du som äskade att leka i trädgården och alltid tog din "siesta" under fikonträden.

Loppan

Någon slängde dig över grinden en natt.
Och där satt du och väntade på världen.
När jag träffade dig vart jag fast. Du var min lilla Loppan.
Vi var med varan dag som natt. Du och Farbror busade hela kvällarna, ibland
långt in på natten, ni sov med mig i sängen. Det var vi tre mot världen.
Sedan kom dagen då det var dags att åka hem. Jag var tvungen att lämna dig.
Jag såg dig på andra sidan grinden, du gnällde och jag grät.
Och tyvärr skulle detta vara sista gången jag såg dig.
Men det visste jag inte då.
Jag glömmer aldrig hur du stod där, kämpade för att följa med mig.
Men det gick inte, du var för liten.
Jag kunde inget göra mer än vänta på dig.
Jag väntade och väntade, och så en dag blev du sjuk.
Allt gick så fort.
Men efter ett par dagar på kliniken så blev du lite piggare,
och jag fick upp hoppet om att du skulle komma hem.
Jag bad Julie viska i ditt öra;
Du måste överleva detta, för du ska få komma hem till Zelda, Adonis och mig
(Therese). Vi ska leva lyckliga i hela våra liv tillsammans,
som i himlen fast bättre.
Men den tiden kom aldrig.
För du han lämna oss.
Men jag tror att du var för god för denna värld.
Det finns ingen annan förklaring på hur något så gott kan tas bort från världen.
Jag hoppas bara att vi möts igen.
För jag saknar dig så det gör ont,
min lilla Loppan.

-Therese



  

Abel

The announcement of your death, so brutal and unexplained, has plunged all of us at La Higuera in deep sorrow.

My little Abel, I see you running in the garden, jumping over barriers to join your friends, always waiting in the kitchen
for my arrival with a little something to snack.

You have been one of the most cuddly, tender and affectionate dogs of the Summer. I am sure that the dog heaven opened its doors for you. Your heart was pure
and never did anything hurtful. You have given us your friendship, your love, without ever asking anything in return.

Adieu Abel, we will miss you and we will always think of you.

Julie October 2004


Baby

Baby du har gett mig tolv underbara år.
Jag älskar dig och saknar dig.

Puss min sötnos. Miki





Bim

It is with great sadness we write this text.
You wanted to get acquainted with these two dogs and they killed you.
You were so nice, and the dog paradise surely wide opened its door for you.
Your memory will remain for ever.

Your friends at La Higuera

HUGH

Hervé Julie team





Flavio

You will always remain in the hearts of those at La Higuera.

We leave some Bougainvillia flowers on the stairways to heaven for you, because you liked them so much.

The Angels will watch over you until we meet again

Julie, Carina, Hervé

 

I ONLY WANTED YOU

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
