HOLLY

September 30, 2006 – April 9, 2015

A month has passed since the very, very difficult day my Chihuahua Holly was freed from suffering the horrible effects of Cushing’s Disease & Diabetes. My little ‘Diva’ is gone far too soon and will never, ever be forgotten. When I heard it was time to let her go, I knew my baby girl deserved not to just exist, endure life for my sake. Yet, it took only a second after she passed to desperately want her back for just another day.

I am completely lost without my ‘high maintenance Holly’. She was a special girl. I would have done almost anything for her… I had so hoped & prayed she would rebound – walk again and not be so horrendously bloated from her condition, nasty disease! She was the center of my world; full of attitude and loved snuggling {with a nudge to the hand to keep petting her}. Holly was a very friendly Chihuahua who adored human attention. Six years ago [on what now is the date of Holly’s death], a kitten Luna came home as a companion for Holly and although Holly seemed not-at-all impressed with our addition…ever, it appears Luna grieves Holly’s absence too.

Holly was a little dog with a huge personality that leaves a huge gap…my home feels empty without her. After only 8 years together, I’m heartbroken and greatly miss my fur baby; the grief is overwhelming but I know my dog deserves it. When I received Holly’s ashes (from vet clinic) I wanted an urn. I now have a little heart urn; it’s appropriate because Holly has my heart. I also have the keychain since Holly went almost everywhere with me…the keychain reminds me, she’s still with me in her way. Thank you Okanagan Pet Cremation, it helps.

Until I see my little girl again, Christene (Holly’s mom)
