RIPLEY
May 09, 09 - November 26th, 2009
God bless you little friend. Ripley passed away today, 11/26/09, after a brief illness . Although we have many that have come our way and crosed the doorways at Gregory's it is always hard to say goodbye to our little friends. We will not forget you Ripley you are now a little piece of our hearts. May you know you were loved if only for your short time on earth and that you are surrounded now by love from your maker. Rest in peace until we meet again one day.

Today I said goodbye to my very special gentle soul, Killian. This was one of the hardest things I had to do in all of my years of rescuing. Killian and I had a special bond like no other. Wherever I was there was my Killy, he was always around to give me kisses, to sit by my side or lay by my side and snuggle in my bed when I just didn't feel good.
My boy died today after his courageous battle with cancer. He never stopped keeping up with me and being by my side even when it became hard for him to get around. I watched him closely to try to know when it was his time, when he was to show any signs of pain I promised him I would, although so very hard, let him go. Today was his day, he decided that he would let me know by looking that certain way and passing on his food this morning. I made a promise to my dear dear friend that I would stay until the end and I did and he knew, he knew how much I loved him, he knew how much he meant to me in my life and how much he gave me and I hope he knew how very special he will always be in my heart.
I will miss you for a long long time my Killy. You deserved the best in life and hope you had it. In memory of my very special friend I will be donating eye surgery to one of our newest rescues, Mr. Cherry Jerry Bernard, as he will have a chance to see clearly and to have a good long life just as my Killian had. I know Killian would want me to continue to help others and I will for you Killian and for them.
Missing you so much - Mom
CHLOE
May 18, 2009
Our Chloe went away today, she's in a better place
On wings of angels she did fly and so we say our final goodbyes
To such a sweet and innocent one
With God and the ones who have gone before
She will be inside of Heaven's doors
REST IN PEACE OUR SPECIAL FRIEND UNTIL WE MEET ONE DAY AGAIN
Gregory's would like to say a special THANK YOU!!! to the Peterson Family who opened their home to this special little girl in her time of need. Chloe was diagnosied with cancer in August of 2008. We were told she had very little time but through her strength and determination Chloe continued on to have a wonderful several months with the love of a family and the love of her canine friends. We will miss you Chloe.
Love,
Your GGOH Family

"Momma Mona" My best girl, rest in peace with your boys now.
IF IT SHOULD BE
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle can't be won.
You will be sad, I understand
Don't let your grief then stay your hand
For this day more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stands the test.
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears.
Would you want me to suffer?
So when that time comes let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
But stay with me until the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you do for me
Although my tail it's last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Do not grieve it must be you
Who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close we two these years
Remember joy among your tears
