Green Meadows Pet Aftercare - Pet Cremation in Negros

16/11/2024

When you turned up outside our facility 8 days ago, we fell in love with you right away. You were shy but still crawled your way towards us, asking to be petted, hungry for love. We wanted to share you with the world, but someone had already claimed you as theirs. Yet you still allowed us to love and care for you, and give you your name - Orchid. You allowed me to carry you to get help when they no longer wanted to have anything to do with you as you were desperately fighting for your life. Alas your little body couldn't stay longer, and you had to leave us so soon. Thank you for the privilege of knowing you, and for bringing so much joy in the short time that you were with us. Thank you for allowing us to give you a send-off that you deserve. In the end, you are ours as we are yours. We will always cherish you, our little flower. Our little Korki. Be young forever and play with your ball in the eternal green meadow.
- Mark and Sheryl

They say big things come in small packages. This couldn't have been more true with Koko. While everything physical about her was small, her paws, her mouth, her legs, the rest was big.

Inside her small frame was a heart big enough to wrap itself around her family. The shadow she cast over her family did not darken but rather brightened the surrounding.

Koko's light will forever shine bright, watching and guiding her family, and if they watch and wait patiently, they may just catch a glimpse of its shimmer.

Time. Is time our friend or our enemy? Is it a gift or a curse?

The answers will always vary, and will most likely depend on what and how it impacts us. When it comes to our pets, we can never say if time is a good or bad thing. Time spent with them is most definitely precious, and it is something that time can never take from us.

Their limited existence, at first, may seem like a curse. But there are countless arguments that can be made that it is not. If we look at time and its passage from our pet's perspective, only then can we begin to understand that it may not be a curse after all.

Cookie made very good use of his given time with his beloved furdad. He will continue to love unconditionally even as he has passed through the Rainbow Bridge to forever play in the lush green meadows.

UPDATE ON NERMAL:
Thank you so much to our caring community for your messages of concern and recommendations 🙏 We have sought a second opinion and have confirmed that Nermal is as well as can be, given that he may have suffered a blow to the side of his head and his back. This may have caused irreversible nerve damage so we can no longer expect him to gain his full eyesight back nor be a normal, agile cat. However, since he is estimated to be less than 2 years old, we are very optimistic that he will make a fast recovery and live a long life, but within a safe space and not freely roaming. We will do our best to keep Nermal healthy and happy 🙂🐈

---------

Nermal was given a clean bill of health last weekend, but still with low platelet count. We were told that he can receive the usual vaccines after a week.

But I am still worried about him. Although he has gained a little weight, he is still wobbly and weak. And we still don't know how old he is.

Have I mentioned that he is almost blind? And his right eye seems to be swollen and red inside. He has been in this cage for more than a month and too afraid to come out.

My heart aches to see him like this. I don't know if we're doing right by him.

I want to get a second opinion. Can anyone recommend a vet who specializes in felines?

Words can sometimes fail to fully express our feelings when a dear pet passes away, specially one so young, barely out of the puppy stage.

But as they say, actions speak louder than words, and while words escaped Choco's furmom's lips when talking about Choco's life, she made sure he was given the best send off possible.

Silence, too, can be a healing salve, when words are just so hard to come by.

Bella by definition means beautiful. But Bella's family will tell you that she was beautiful both inside and out. Bella's beautiful impact on their lives is clearly evident in their touching words:

"We had you at the most unexpected time but we did not foresee that we will lose you in the same way too. Our heart just crashed into a million pieces after we received the most painful news of losing you but what hurts us most is the thought that we did not get the chance to be with you before you were gone to hold your paw and let you know how much you are loved and how thankful we are for you. For that, We are so sorry Bel

Mommy Bella,

You came into our lives with boundless energy and a heart full of love. Every wag of your tail, every joyful bark, and every gentle nuzzle brought light and laughter into our world. You were more than a pet; you were family, a constant companion, and a source of endless joy.

Though you’re no longer by our side, you will forever remain in our hearts. Your pawprints are etched into our lives, reminding us of the beautiful moments we shared. We’ll cherish your memory, and you will always be missed, deeply loved, and never forgotten.

Run free, sweet Bella. We’ll hold you close in our hearts until we meet again. We will sure miss your kisses and hugs to welcome us home.

PS let manong Banj and Baffo know we are missing all of you so much and life has never been the same.😢"

Cloud's family gave everything, their all, the heavens, to ensure Cloud had the life he so deserved:

Cloud is our gentle giant. The only dog we know who does not know how to bark. He's a little shy at first but would love for people to pet him. Looks away when cameras point at him but would always turn out the best among everyone. He's nonchalant but very friendly and playful. He's the first baby of the family. He taught us responsibility, loyalty and unconditional love.

Dear Cloud,

Thank you for the 6 years you have shared with us... I'm sorry for our shortcomings but I wish that you were at least happy and felt loved with your little time with us. Thank you for fighting and for staying as long as you can. You fought so well.

Our grief is deep but we are comforted to know that you are no longer in pain. We'll miss you everyday. Thank you for looking out for us when we leave home and welcome us with so much life with your big jumps every time we come back home.

Seeing you suffer from the pain you didn't deserve break our hearts. Visiting you everyday, although with a heavy heart yet hopeful, smiles are plastered in our faces hoping you could smile back at us. Thank you for showing us that you'll be okay and we have nothing to worry about, no matter how much pain you're feeling until your very last breath.

We never expected our "Puli na ta, Cloud" would turn to "You're home na, Cloud". We prayed everyday that you'll come back home with us again, and indeed, it was granted. You are now home but in God's Arms once again.

Heaven has gained another angel. We will forever treasure every moment with you. Thank you, our pet, our friend, our brother, our son and our gift from God. Run free baby! You are now up in the clouds, Cloud.

We will all see you again someday…

Our pets fill our homes with love, that is an undisputed fact. But what do we do when it's their time to go? There's no need to fret, the unconditional love they've shared will forever stay with us. We can't repeat it enough, they're so loyal that they never leave. Witness how Sophie's family will forever miss her:

"Sophie has been with us for 9years. She was like the baby of our family. She gave us so much joy the moment she became part of it.

Whenever I think of Sophie, all I remember are the times were she would run up to us to cuddle her. She always loves to sleep right next to someone, most especially if that someone has an electric fan right next to it, she would make sure she got the best spot where the air blew right through where she is. She loves getting her photos taken, we always takes selfies all the time, and she smiles on most of it.

We call her 'our princess' because she always gets all the nice things, if our food is not dog-friendly, we would buy separate food just for them. She has princess clothes and she's literally just treated like a baby. We miss her so much, these days I see her in every corner of our house where she frequently stay. We used to call her name randomly, though she's stubborn and doesn't come anymore when called, she would perk up her ears letting us know she heard us.

All throughout the time, she has been a very chill dog, whenever she's hungry she would stand next to the table, if her water bowl is empty, she'll just stand right next to it until someone fills it up and drink from it.

I hope we have filled her life with love just like how she filled ours with her.

Sophie, I'll miss hugging you, feeling the softness of your fur, the gentle gaze of your eyes, and the wagging of your tail whenever I come home. I hope your happy wherever you are, I will never forget you, you will always be my baby. Please wait for me, one day we will continue your belly rub session and cuddle together again. Run free my baby. I love you."

If you've ever watched or read about Hachiko's life, you are probably among the millions touched by his bittersweet story. Maybe Hachi is a reincarnation of Hachiko, as both dogs share the same impact on their families' lives, as evidenced by the touching letter below:

"Hachi was given to us when he was just a puppy back in 2011. Hachi's name was inspired from the movie Hachi: A Dog's Tale. And true to his name, Hachi was a kind, loving, and loyal dog. For almost 13 years, he has been a part of our life, always loving and protecting us. He was always there, kind of like a constant in an ever-changing world. It's hard and painful to imagine what life would be like now that he's gone. But we trust that time will heal us, and the pain and tears while missing Hachi will be replaced by comfort and smiles as we look back to the life he shared with us.

To Hachi, thank you for all the love and joy you have given us. Thank you for always being good. We hope you know how much we love you and how grateful we are that you came into our life."

When we go beyond mere human to animal or master to pet relationships, we experience a bond that's pure, simple yet profound. Only an animal lover will truly understand what it takes to consider another species part of our family.

"Friend. Brother. Family. These are three words that best describe Peanut to our family. Peanut wasn't just a pet; he was our friend, our baby, and our brother.

We got Peanut from our grandparents in Iloilo during the pandemic. He was already 1yr old at the time, but we would always play with him whenever we visited. From the moment we met him, we knew he was the one that was going home with us. He was always full of energy and very friendly to everyone he met, with his cute tongue hanging out. He was never scared of other people and would walk up to them, welcoming pets and attention.

Peanut was always there for our mom while my brother Paolo, and I were away at school. He would follow her around the house, acting like her tail, always watching over her, our dad, and our home. Since Paolo goes to school in Manila, he would constantly ask where Peanut was or what he was doing, and we would update him by sending pictures and videos of Peanut.

During the pandemic, Peanut was my walking buddy. At 4 PM every day, he would bark at me, reminding me it was time for our walk. He loved meeting other dogs; with smaller ones, he would approach to play, while with bigger dogs, he’d bark as if he could take them on in a fight. It caused some trouble, but it was also his way of showing us he was ready to protect us.

Peanut always seemed to know if something was bothering us and would come over to stare, as if asking for some pets. Those moments made us forget our troubles. When we brought home our new dog, Maku, Peanut never showed jealousy; instead, he shared his toys and played with him, even when Maku annoyed him.

Peanut will always be a part of our family and will stay in our hearts forever. We pray that he is having fun with his grandfather Bob and our grandfather in heaven, running free and eating all the treats he wants."

When it's love at first sight, you can expect nothing but the best. For Tako and his family, who chose whom first doesn't even matter. What matters is that they all found each other. Have a listen to their sweet story:

We got Tako back in 2020, he was a rescue cat that was left by his previous owners. Like they say, another man's trash is another man's treasure. When my mother first met Tako, he was standing, looking at my mom, and he looks happy to go home with us, and for me, it was love at first sight, it was like our family was meant to take care of Tako. We needed him as much as he needed us. Contrary to the popular belief, Tako was the sweetest cat ever, the most gentle, and the most patient cat ever, he would always sit beside us, and cuddle with us. Oh how we loved him so much. We went to the beach, we went to malls, and we just cuddled at home and watched tv shows with him. A lot of our family and friends have met him, and of course they also loved Tako. our 4 years with Tako has been nothing but a gift, I hope Tako knew that he was loved by everyone, by our family, and most especially by me.

For us humans, we use the term Family, for dogs, we use Pack. Even though we are two different species, there are a lot of similarities between a family and a pack. One of the similarities is that family and pack members all look out for each other - no matter what. For Sky's family, their love and support for him knows no limits:

SKY was very dear to the family. As our very first family dog, he was the SWEETEST.

13 yrs of his life has always brought happiness to all of us. He has always been the family's apple of the eye. It was never an issue that he did not have any offspring.
He was the only pet in the family until 2019, when we received another dog - a female husky, and in 2020, she then gave birth and we kept another one.

In October 2022, we adopted another male sh*tzu, which had been his companion, since.

With four dogs inside the house - not caged, there were small fights once in a while, especially with the Mama Husky. Until Christmas of 2022, we woke up to a loud fight at 6am. It was a bloody scene and resulted for SKY to lose 1 of his eyeball.

He was the BRAVEST.

He was 11 yrs old then. We hurriedly looked for any clinic available to accommodate and undergo an operation. Called all animal clinics found in Facebook but to no avail. It's CHRISTMAS DAY, morning of December 25th, and everyone's on Holiday. I then tried to console and comfort him, even if he's growling in pain, and quickly wrapped the eye part with a towel to at least control the bleeding.
It was devastating for us to see him covered in blood for over an hour without getting any help. Everyone's crying as we are all hopeless. Until finally, got to contact one veterinarian but has no clinic available, as now working in the government. No complete tools/apparatus at the time, but willing to help us with an emergency operation.

To cut the long story short, it was successful, however, still, no open facility for post-operation monitoring and care. Since the doctor also had plans to travel back to her hometown for Christmas that day, we took him home and provided the post-op care per doctor's instructions.

That day - I thought it was time for SKY to go, given his age and being immuno-compromised. We all prayed he would regain his consciousness without any complications after sedation wears off. Thankfully, after weeks of after care, he regained his health, with only 1 eye left. It was sad - but at least, he still made it!

Fast forward - we have been protecting him since, from the Mama Husky so as not to have another fight again. Last year, he also experienced peeing with small crystals - later assessed to be kidney stones, but thankfully got well by oral medications.

Until last week, I noticed he gradually lost appetite, until his condition regressed despite medical intervention. I have thought, IT IS TIME. Part of us understands it is the reality but any pet parent/family can never be ready when the time comes. 😭

SKY was loved his whole life 💖. It was a commitment the first day we welcomed him to our home, until he had his last. God knows, we tried to provide to him the best that we can - even after life.. a DECENT SEND-OFF.

Growing up with a dog and sharing your different life stages and experiences is one of life's greatest gifts. Shiro found his family and his family found Shiro at the right time, their words only prove this:

"Shiro was more than just a pet dog. He was our family—a constant source of comfort, laughter, and companionship. He was the guardian of our home and was there through everything, watching us grow and witnessing our happiest, proudest, and even our saddest moments—those quiet times only he knew. He was, simply put, irreplaceable.

He loved basking in the warm morning sun; his black-and-white coat would glisten, and his big, beaded eyes would gleam, full of wonder as he watched the world go by. He had this goofy side-eye and curvy smile when he thought we were up to something, a look that never failed to make us laugh. He was endlessly endearing.

He delighted in emptying his bowl and letting us know he wanted more. He never turned down an opportunity to get his treats and was never one to be shy about his appetite. His howls were his own way of reaching the moon, filling the air with his unique song, reverberating into the skies, and making him one with the night, as though he belonged to both the earth and the stars.

He enjoyed taking walks, confidently trotting along as he sniffed every corner he explored, leaving memories scattered across every path we walked together. His excitement was always evident in the unbridled wagging of his tail. His tail may have been short, but his adventures were big, and his spirit even bigger.

He welcomed and accompanied us on our walks home. But more than anything, he was the home that united all of us—the heart of our family in ways we never fully realized until now. He was so well-loved, the goodest boy anyone could ask for, and as difficult as it was to say our goodbyes, he was a true fighter until his last moments. We know he is now in dog heaven, enjoying endless fields to run across and unlimited chicken to feast on alongside his old friends.

Our dearest Shiro, we love you so so much. We are all grateful that you became a part of our family. We will forever keep you close in our hearts and you will always be with us."

Our endeavour allows us to play witness to the bond between furbabies and their furdads and/or furmoms. Men have a tendency to put up a strong facade, although some do wear their heart on their sleeves.

Women, more often, show more emotion, some even more so than others. But there are some furmoms who are dignified yet vulnerable at the same time. Ann is one of them, her gentle demeanour will give you a glimpse of the loving bond that flows between her and Yeye.

It is said that a dog's mission in life is to shower us with unconditional love. I can attest that in Yeye's life, she received unconditional love as well as she gave unconditional love. Their love for each other is so pure, so innocent and so gentle.

So as Yeye physically leaves the comforting home of Ann's arms, I assured her that Yeye will forever be bound to her... for eternity.
