Dear Rolo, I can't believe today has been 3 years since we had to say goodbye to you. Even though the time has passed quickly, I still think of you every day and I would do anything to even have a little bit more time with you where we could spoil you with a long walk, food and lots of cuddles! I see some of you in Toby sometimes (especially on walks and when he tries to get some of my food) and I wish the two of you could have gotten to know each other but I think you're out there guiding him. You two would have probably loved each other, although you always liked being the centre of my attention! I'm thinking of you lots today and always praying that you're happy up there! I'm sorry I kept you with us for so long and that you suffered; I just couldn't bear with the thought of losing you, even though I knew it was going to have to happen eventually. I love you so much Rolo (we all do), you were such a bundle of joy and always will be in our hearts and memories! <3

My dearest Rolo. You left us so long ago but it seems only yesterday we were together. Watching TVs d cuddling on the office couch. May be sneaking a popcorn or two. Just loved the sound you made crunching on it. There are memories of you all over the house and of course the neighborhood. Loved watching you run ahead of us and pull us along. You were a leader no doubt. Hatef the thoughts of you suffering with your illness. It was tough saying goodbye but dear Rolo you are always with me In my mind and in my heart. And of course over my back when I have a fun tattoo of you. I am so glad I got that done. You are missed my buddy. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Love you always Rolo.

Dear Rolo. It’s been two years since you left us. We still think about you and talk about you. We miss you. You were such a wonderful part of our life. You were fun and funny. You made us laugh. You made us happy. When you left us you made us sad and empty without you. But when we think and talk about you we feel happy that you were in our life. We hope you are happy we’re you are. We hope you can see us. Would love to see you again. Bye for now buddy. Love you always. Dad.

Dear my baby Rolo, The last couple weeks have been so tough at home. There has been so much going on and it reminded me of how you used to always snuggle with me and cheer me up. You really kept everything together somehow. A few days ago, we brought Toby home. He's so cute and reminds me a lot of you when you were a puppy, but it also makes me so sad because he's not you and never will be. I wish I had been older when we got you so I could have been more responsible and given you all the love and attention you deserved from Day 1! I was always so busy with tennis classes and stuff back then. People keep saying that Toby has a bit of your spirit inside him, and some parts of me believe that sometimes and gives me comfort, but in other moments I want to break down because I just miss you so much. I miss your smell, your licks and holding you. I miss your snoring and how you used to sleep by my feet or up against me. You were everything to me and always will be <3 I love you

My baby Rolo, I have missed you so much lately I can't even put it into words!! I think of you constantly and it makes me so happy but sad at the same time. This week, we decided to get a puppy in a few months. It makes me feel so guilty but also excited. Once we lost you, I never thought I would get another dog (or at least not for a LONG time) because I know another dog could never be as perfect as you and I didn't want you to feel upset about it. The truth is, you showed us all how much love you could give and how much joy you brought to everyone around you. Mom was even terrified of dogs before you came along!! If another dog can even bring a fraction of that love or laughs, I think it would be really good for everyone and I hope you understand. He will never take your place in my heart and you'll always be my most special boy, no matter what. The love I have for you can never ever be replaced! I hope you are okay with this and forgive me :( Love you so much always Rolo <3

I miss you so much my baby Rolo, Even though I don't post here often, I think of you every single day and look at photos and videos of you. Although they make me sad sometimes, I giggle at how silly you were and we always talk about how smart you were. We were so lucky to have you and I'm so glad you chose me that day when I met you as a baby - it was love at first sight!! I wish you could see our Christmas tree at the apartment - its covered with memories of you, just like the fridge! We didn't put one up at home this year because it didn't feel right without you there. I hope you can see how loved you are and how much we miss you! If I could have anything for Christmas, it would be another snuggle or lick from you! I love you so much little angel <3

Dear Rolo, I miss you so so much lately. I've been trying my best to be stronger, since everyone says thats what you would want for me but its so hard. I miss you snuggling up to me and feeling you lick my arm and my face - I would give anything to have that back. There's so many times I'm at the store or eating and see something that I know you would love and it just makes me so sad- I wish I could have spoiled you even more. Each day, my snapchat memories come up and show me you over the years (whichever photos I had taken of you on that day) and I look forward to it, even though its painful. The memories often make me laugh or smile but I can see how much more active you were even just 1 year ago and how you weighed so much more - I wish I had noticed you slipping away sooner and could have stopped it. I just hope you're not suffering up there and that you always know how loved you were. Today, I'm leaving a pillow for you to chew up!! With all my love, always and forever <3

Rahana..a beautiful tribute to a great friend. Rolo is a beautiful boy. It is always hard to lose a furry young or old and I have lost both. But no matter what or for whatever reason they are always taken from us too soon leaving their forever pawprints within us. Be sure to know he is happy, healthy and playing with Oreo, Ralph and Eva while waiting for us to join them at the Bridge. I can send you my babies sites if you wish to visit..take care..

Oh such an absolutely adorable little guy is your Rolo. Such a wonderful story. You write it all so well and telling his story was a joy to read. I am so very sorry he had to go. You had a wonderful life together and now he is your own personal furry angel watching over you for all your life. Our fur children love to hear us call their name. So that is what I do for my baby who also just passed away. He used to love me to sing to him so that is also what I do now. It helps me feel connected and I feel he hears me. We are so lucky to have had them in our lives for all the years. I tell him how grateful I am that he picked me!! But of course I still yearn for him and cry my tears in homage to him. Yes it is so wonderful that we can take their pain on as our own. And we do it in a minute. We take away their suffering and start our own. Be well and talk to Rolo he will just love it.

Dear Rolo, Today marks 37 days without you and I wonder if it will ever get any easier. I miss absolutely everything about you and each day I am reminded of all the time we shared together, and unfortunately, all the moments that I will never experience again except for in my memories. I miss the sound of your footsteps, your licks and I miss picking you up and holding you close to me - you were always the best part of my day and you had such a routine with everyone. I look at photos and videos of you and they make me smile so much but they also make me feel so broken. The only thing worse than this pain is knowing that you were suffering in any way. It absolutely breaks my heart to think of you feeling anything but happiness and love like you deserved. If it means you're happier now, I can get through this pain. I want you to know that you will always be missed and loved so incredibly much, even if I have to move forward in my life without you in it. With all my love Rolo <3

Dear Rolo! I can’t believe you’re gone :( you were the first Yorkie who stole my heart and I’ll never forget your one floppy year or your adorable sideways shuffle or how dapper you looked in your volunteer uniform #worknowords. Miss you cutie and I hope you know how much you were loved and how much joy your brought

Hi Rahana. This is the end of my message to you. When I reviewed what I had written on the guestbook, I see that part was cut off. In the end I remind myself that our fur babies accept us without reservation, they readily forgive us our slights. I believe Rolo is still with you in spirit. You have a forever bond with him, one that knows no time, no space. Thanks for the quote by Rumi. It is so true.

Hi Rahana. Rolo is so precious. He is so beautiful, such a sweet face. Our fur babies give us so much of themselves. Each and every day is filled with love, acceptance and joy. The comfort they bring gives us peace, the feeling that no matter the world chaos, with our fur baby by our side it seems all is right in the moment. With them, its giving 100% all the time. I cried as I read the posting about Rolo and his illness. It so reminds me of my own sweet girl who died of lung cancer. By the time it was found it was too late. There were times when I desperately wished to have my best friend back but I had to realize the futility of this. In the end, losing my sweet girl later than when I did would not have the loss any less difficult. Nonetheless I still heavily grieve her. Rolo could not have been more deeply loved and cherished. Please go easy on yourself. I also find myself feeling bad for the times when I was irritated with my sweet girl because she wouldn't let me sleep in. In the

Dear Rolo, you are missed more and more each day here. The first time I met you, you turned onto your belly and asked for a belly rub. I thought it was so cute. I'll never forget how fun you were to be around and I always looked forward to seeing you. You were so kind that even when I had a bad day or was going through a tough time, hugging you a bunch of times would make me forget everything. But I know that you are still living to the fullest and making those around you happy. No matter what, we'll never forget about you and you will always be close to our hearts. I hear you're still working pretty hard to heal other people but remember to take time to yourself and relax. Hoping to run into sometime in the future. With lots of love <3
