Nala Renee Willow O’Connor crossed Rainbow Bridge to be with the angels on November 11, 2024, after suddenly becoming very sick and being diagnosed with diabetes causing life threatening symptoms. The hospital saved her life twice and we did everything we possibly could for her, but in the end it wasn’t enough… we were faced with having to make the hardest decision of our lives. We only had 7 short years with her, but in that short time, she brought us more joy and love then some people get in a lifetime. Nala was a birthday present during a really hard time in my life when I just couldn’t find any happiness and was really struggling. When I found out I was getting her, I cried my eyes out. I wanted this dog for so long. The day I got her was one of the best days of my entire life. That day I brought home a new, forever best friend & daughter. It will ALWAYS be one of the happiest days of my life. No gift I ever receive will ever top her. She meant everything to me. Nothing was more important to me than her. She was the only thing that brought true joy into my life. She was my source of love, both giving & receiving. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done if she never came into my life. Nala was the most fun- loving, energetic, high maintenance, spoiled pomsky in the world. I always strived to give her the best life a doggy could have bc she deserved it. She had the most adorable face but you had to be careful to not let it fool you because she was always plotting some kind of evil plan in her brain. Always trying to figure out how to get herself in some sort of trouble. She loved the outdoors, running, walks, trips to the park, her ifetch, treats & bones and eating anything. Her favorite was frosty paws/ dogsters ice creams. We loved spending time together and never ever got sick of each other. I only wish now we had gotten more time together and didn’t take time for granted. Nothing made Nala happier than when she was with her whole family and we were all together. She’d get depressed if any of us was away from her for too long. She was the most empathetic dog in the world. She knew what you were thinking/ feeling before you even showed it. She loved with her whole heart. Looking back on the 7 short years I had with her, I feel so lucky she was mine & I was hers. I never got tired of her, her ridiculous antics or her diva attitude. She never ceased to amaze, shock & tire us. We were so lucky she chose us to be her family. She filled my heart every second of every day. I wouldn’t have traded life with her for anything in the world. I love & miss her so much it physically hurts. I love you forever & always, Nala🩷🐾 I can’t wait for the day we’re together again. Nala is survived by her dogmom, Kellie O’Connor and her doggy grandparents, Kim and John O’Connor. “You were my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye” “I loved you for your whole life and I’ll miss you for the rest of mine”
My beautiful baby boy, 14 years just wasn’t enough time. I had you from the day you were born and you gave me most love and fulfillment a young boy could experience. You were with me through middle, high school and even college. The unbridled excitement you would have when I got home is something I always cherish and will always miss. You got sick so quick and I felt so helpless but I know you are at peace now. What I wouldn’t give to tell you how much I love you, to give you one more forehead kiss. My room feels so much more empty without you but i know one day we will meet again on the rainbow bridge🙏
Max already had a few years under his belt before I met him. I fell in love with him the first day he came into my family. I had two other dogs Rambo and Teddy and he fit right in! Max was the smartest dog I ever met and did things all the other dogs never did. They had a pool and a backyard to roam around. When it was time to round them up and call them inside you’d always find Max and the weirdest places. He would have jumped up on top of a chair that was next to the grill and then be lying up on the grill. Or inside the house if you are folding laundry and you got up for a second you’d find him inside the laundry basket falling asleep. I had a baby gate up and he jumped it and from that day forward I never kept him out of my bedroom and he slept with me every night. I know people say pets are just pets but he was my true soulmate ❤️❤️❤️ I was walking him less than a week before his passing. I got another year out of him after taking him to the vet and he was diagnosed with collapsing trachea and a heart murmur. He got better with a little hydrocodone and is hacking went away. Almost a year and he started having symptoms again but when I took him this time he had fluid around his heart and I didn’t want to see him suffer. I made the difficult decision that day 7/9/24 to put my baby to rest. I can tell you it hurts like hell I’m a grown 47 year old man and I cry every minute I get and I’m not ashamed to admit that. My love is undying for that dog and it will last beyond eternity if that’s possible. I love you my baby boy may you rest in peace in the hands of God and I’ll see you again someday
My beautiful brave warrior Nena. You were my only friend, my confidant, my strength. You loved me in spite of my flaws. No matter how hard life got you were right by my side.I miss your face, your smell, your fur which went the wrong way on your shoulders. I cannot bare the thought of never seeing your face again. I will forever have a whole in my heart now you are not here beside me. I surround myself with your photos just to be able to carry on. My baby girl, my little Nee. My love for you is beyond words. The pain will never subside ❤️
My dearest chicken nugget Penny. You brightened my life in a way that most could never imagine. You helped me to experience a love so pure and so deep. You taught me what it was to love without boundaries, to give without expecting, and how to care for someone in their worst hours. I could never repay you for the companionship you provided me with. I look forward to the day we will be reunited. I will love, and miss you, for eternity. Cheers to a life well-lived. 💕Yay mama💕
