In Loving Memory of Delia

Shortly after I started BocMeow in 2007, I was blessed with two beautiful fur clients, Delia and Daisy.

They were sisters, though not blood related. They became clients of mine because of their mom’s busy work schedule.

During their time in California, Delia and Daisy spent a huge amount of time with me and my husband in our home.  So many mornings I spent driving to pick them up from their home to bring them into my home for the day.

When I would enter their house, Delia would always greet me with a big smile and happy barks, telling me how excited she was to see me.

She would eagerly jump into my car with Daisy trailing behind her, ready to start a new day with me.  Driving with them in my car is one of the most priceless gifts I have from them. As I drove in bumper to bumper traffic, I would look back at them and see them smiling at me-always made my day.

There were countless nights they stayed with me and my husband.

We would talk to them, feed them, give them treats, love them to no end as if they were our own. They brought such happiness into our home and were such good friends with our fur kids.

Early 2009, Delia and Daisy moved out of state with their mom.

Needless to say, I was sad to see them go but happy for their new life. It was hard to say goodbye to them but I had hope in seeing them again.

With a painful ache in my heart, I am sad to write that Delia suddenly passed on to Rainbow Bridge on 8/20/09.  Words cannot describe how much I will miss Delia and how much I love her.

I send my deepest heart felt sympathies to Delia’s mom and family. I thank Delia’s mom for trusting me to care for Delia and Daisy. They were a part of my family. Though my time with them was short, I am forever grateful knowing them. Sending hugs and kisses to Daisy as she adapts to a life without Delia and keeping Delia’s family in my heart.

Rest in peace, sweet, beautiful Delia.

    I am Kailey’s aunt and live in Atlanta, GA. I can’t tell you how sweet it was to read your words of remembrance to Delia. I know that your caring for Kailey’s babies brought her a great deal of peace of mind. You have to be a really wonderful person to love dogs the way you do. We will all miss Delia.

    Thank you for your reply. Delia was an angel. I will forever remember her. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of her. She and Daisy spent so much time with me, it’s hard to believe Delia has passed on.
