Dear S, Oh....I am so sorry to hear you beloved dog has passed away. I don't know what to say, but I agree with your friend that, if Alfie could give you the last sentence, she would say thank you for your care and happy time together. And she will bless you forever no matter where she has gone to. All the best. Love,ML, KL

aiyo.... kena shake vigorously, sure got internal injury. didnt knowit was that serious. think it'll take her quite a while to get overthis terrible ordeal. must b feeling really really awful n miserablenow. dogs' screams/cries (due to fear n pain) r unforgettable.
mayb god feels that she has done enough good deeds in this life alr.so take her away so she can reincarnate as human. jus like puppy. hepass away, then i preggy.
hope she can get over soon. send my condolesences to her/Tiger and Bear2 Mum, Alfies Aunty P

Hi....i'm sorry for what happened. Although we don't keep in touch often, I know how important Alfie and you mean to each other. This is going to be a very painful period for you I know....but like everyone would say....life goes on and if Alfie's watching....she wouldn't want you to be so sad. It's not going to be easy and things are going to change....but I hope with time, you'll heal soon. Let me know if you need any help. Take care, love /Alfies Aunty Est.

There are no words to help you feel better,thinking of you,love / Alfie's Uncle E and Aunty L.

Dear S, We share your sadness and no word can put across to calm your emotional. Let just remember all the fun and the fond memory that Alfie gave us ..... May god bless the lovely Alfie..... Alfies Uncle kt


Dear Aunty,
I cannot even hope to imagine the kind of sadness the loss of Alfie must be. But Life will go on. Always be consoled that you gave Alfie the best five years of her life, and at the end of the day, she went away in your arms, and having a short, but eventful and happy life.
She must be enjoying herself with Toffee, Angel I, Tanic, Angel II and all the other dogs that have gone to heaven already. And I am sure, she must be boasting to them that no other dog could find a more loving mummy than she did.
To say cheer up would be hypocritical, but I know you can hold your head up high, touch your heart, and say you gave fifi the best, always. So take heart in that. Know that in the short span of time, you gave a truly blessed life to a very special dog.
Luv, Alfies Kor2, Alywin

I am saddened by the news of your dear beloved Alfie. Although i have not met him, i feel i know him already thru you.
May she rest in peace and now she lives on in your heart. She will forever be your Angel. Know that she is with you in spirit even if she is no longer in the body.
Please take the time and space to grief for such a deep love and connection.
with love, holding you in support and may the tears heal you in this painful loss. /AF, USA


Hi S...Heard from L about Alfie's tragedy. We know how you feel at this moment and pray that time will heal .... Here's what Alfie wants you to know.....
So sorrowfully endowed
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain
And understanding earthly actsWill only be in vain
So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic that willOnce more make me whole.
The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only way.That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner till the end.
Please, understand just what this giftYou're giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my dignity.You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,For I believe it, too.
So one last time, I breathe your scent,And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you,
To grant me this appeal.Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.And don't despair my passing,
For I won't be far away,Forever here, within your heart,And memory I'll stay.
I'll be there watching over you,Your ever-faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run,... a young dog once againIt is
From your Grateful Alfie............ God bless, Anita & Kenny
