Dear God,
When you hear a scratch on Heaven's gates tonight,
A gentle whine, or a muffled bark; have Peter take a light
And open the Pearly Gates and call his spirit in,
For I know he lived in heaven once, please take him back again.He was noble, kind and good; I know you will agree:
That he'll be very useful where the souls of children play.
He'll romp with them and see dear God they to not go astray.
God bless the hands that send him to you,
They have been so good to him over the years.
Please tell him we are sorry that we can not be there to pat his head,
Now dear God we only ask this one last thing; when death beckons and our souls surmounts life's fog.
You will grant us a place in heaven, right beside our dogs.
In loving memory of our precious boy
Kaizer Turrock Jarvis

Run with the angels buddy
Our beautiful boy, I have made it this far please forgive me I will tell our story of love a little later my heart hurts so bad baby with your loss, our home is full of furbabies yet it is one of the loneliest places on earth without you here.

As I put all your treats by your marker today I had to chuckle a little, oh my how you loved to eat my beautiful boy (tears)...love you to the moon and back.
11/15/09
Woo this is hard bubby, seeing you here and not at my feet. God how can it hurt so bad still, I sit here and think this isn't over I still have your sister Maddie to create a residence for, I will do it soon. God we love you you were our whole world, the man, the king, daddy's best buddy. It was always so funny how the others when they came knew that you were the one the king of this castle. They were all so good to you knowing you were ill. Not one of them ever even the babies that just passed thru to their new homes they were all respectful of Kaizer's place. We miss you we love you more than any words could ever express, and I just thank God each day that he allowed me to borrow you for the time we had you. I love you boo

We are so much better for having been loved by you our precious boy...Today the wind is blowing here and I miss you so much. I took one of your beds over to Capt. Jack and Logan said it smelled like you....ok tears again on that one..Our granbabies knew how special you were and they were always so respectful of you and your poor health. Cloey used to say all the time MaMaw we have to be careful with Kaizer he is old and sometimes his legs hurt. Oh thru the eyes of a child or an animal the world seems so much more simplier. We love you buddy...
11/18/09
Last night daddy and I had a cry baby but that is ok those tears are tears of love. We miss you baby but are glad none the less that you were ours if only for a little while.

11/25/09
Our love story wow what a story to write. It all started in the year of 1996, I would loose my daddy that year and many more "not good" changes would come into my life but thru it all you were by my side. You saved my life!! literally, and you became in an instant my soul mate my best friend who stuck with me for almost 13 years. Now I have to continue this journey without you, it is hard but you have brought me and my life to a full circle, you gave me so much I will never ever forget you. I love you my sweet angel in fur always and forever.
11/28/09
Every breath of our life brings us a memory of you, I have never missed anyone with the exception of my daddy, more than I miss all of you....I will never regret one minute of the money, the medicine, the dr. trips, the way we couldn't be out of the room because you would bark...I wish oh I wish I had all those troubled times back. You are and always will be our Kaizer the King.
11/29/09
Today baby boy I was listening to a police tape of an act of animal abuse caught on tape, and I got so physically ill thinking of all the babies out there including your brothers and sisters who have been thru so much at the hands of humans. I will never understand but this I do understand my baby that I know in the almost 13 years you walked on this earth you had one mommy that loved you to the moon and back, and a daddy who thought you were the king of kings, you and your sister Maddie are two of the blessed ones baby leaving this world not knowing anything but love and devotion. Mommy loves you to the moon and back again.
11/30/09
Today I am thankful that I got to see my beautiful baby ball of fur thru his whole life ... I got to see you turn old and gray baby for this I will forever thank God. I miss you my beautiful boy.
12/02/09
My beautiful boy, did you feel daddy's kisses last night, he went to your box on the mantel to tell you he loved and missed you. There will always be the most special bond between you and your daddy. We miss you so much NO One will ever ever know
12/08/09
Hello baby boy today is a rainy day here reminded me of you and how you would lay in front of the fire all day and snooze, when it was damp and cold. Lord I miss you so much I feel like my right arm is missing but none the less I celebrate the time I did have with you.
12/11/09
Good morning baby boy,today I was thinking of the time daddy and I were taking a hike in the woods and ran into a man with the most beautiful black lab, she was a female. She startled me as she looked so much like you thru her eyes. After a brief discussion we discovered she was your sister , she was born on Sept. 3 1996 and she was the daughter of Brach's Midnight Shadow just as you were. Now I sit here this morning and think is she still alive, or does her family grieve as we do in loss this Christmas season, wow our first Christmas without you, I can't remember it being this sad with the exception of the Christmas of 2005 when we lost your sister two days before Christmas. Send us love baby a sign from heaven to let us know that you are happy in a place where there are no tears just happy times. I love you to the moon and back.
Mommy
Love mommy
12/15/09
Good morning baby, sometimes I feel like my heart is wraped in heavy chains and it weighs me down, so many babies out there who won't have the kind of Christmass' that you had. I miss you so much, I feel like part of my soul went with you that day. But I have started writing again, which is a good thing. I was thinking last night about how each of you beautiful babies has given me some sort of inspiration, Princess is my inspiration everytime I put a baby on a plane or hand one over to someone I know will love and care for them, and you YOU were the inspiration for me to start writing my book. And Maddie she is my calming spirit the one who taught me that simply being loved is enough, Her spirit is with me each and everyday, God our home is still full but still so empty. I wish each of you could have lived forever but we know that isn't the case. I love you big boy, you saved me so many times and now your spirit is where I draw my strength to carry on.
I love you still to the moon and back a thousand times over.
Mommy
12/22/09
Good morning baby boy, daddy and I were talking about you last night and how very much we miss you, but we knew as we talked that you would have never been able to even get outside in all this snow without daddy carrying you. I remember and will always remember that image in my mind of daddy carrying you outside to tinkle , it was in that moment I knew that you needed to go, that you needed to leave with your dignity and pride in tact. This I hope you know that we gave you that release to a land of happiness and forever good health. Mommy and daddy love you big boy, never have loved another like you never will you are were and always will be the MAN!!!
Mommy
12/29/09
Hello beautiful beautiful baby boy..gosh I wish this would be a little easier but then again how could it be..for the amount of love that we share with you now and forever we can only expect the grief to be just as strong. We will make it I know this a little less happier but we will make it. I have started to pick up my writings again. I plan on writing this and delivering it to my friend to read this year. We love you baby and I am forever grateful for the love and devotion that you gave us.
1/8/10
Our beautiful boy I think of you so much this morning I was looking at pictures of you and Maddie little did I know when I was taking those pictures that you both would be gone within the year. Woo I miss you so much but am trying so very hard to keep up my smile for the others. There will never ever be another you...there was one Kaizer the King...Love you miss you forever and a day after forever.
1/12/10
...only time...I keep saying this over and over to myself...only time!!! I wish it would come a little faster, I miss you and my heart aches every single day....but I will maintain my resolve to love the others and to keep on keeping on to help all those who have no voice >>>I LOVE YOU!!!!!
1/15/10
If I had to choose one word to describe you it would be FAITHFUL..you were my faithful companion thru thick and some very thin. Always there no matter my state of mind or being, always there no matter how much time I had for you. Thank you buddy for being my bestest friend forever and ever.
2/5/10
Well beautiful boy Belinda made it thru her surgery and I know that you, Maddie and Princess watched over her, I hope she dreamed of you while she was under so she can know how precious you each are. She met you and Maddie so that makes me happy she never met her sister Princess but she knows cause I tell her everyday that Princess is the reason we have her, I hope she knows that Princess is our "sender'' from heaven keeping us on the ready for special ones that need us. I love you baby our lives are sad without you. But we must keep on, we love you forever and ever and beyond forever. We were blessed to have known such love.
2/9/10
My beautiful boy today we saved an old white faced lab named Lanie, she was so pretty.
I thought of you. I left your things for Valentines Day on Sunday, I hope you have a beautiful one in heaven.
3/16/10
Hello beautiful baby boy today mommy and daddy helped get another beautiful black lab to it's forever home. It was a gal named Nellie, she was 13 like you. I can't believe it baby we would give anything to just see you again and those stupid humans just let her roam the streets after they decided they wanted to be divorced. Then she was picked up and thrown into the shelter. NUT now baby now she is going to be loved and adored. This one I do for you today. We love you baby boy!!!
7/22/10

7/29/10
What a beautiful story of love we had didn't we buddy?? I miss you so bad at times, especially when I am mowing and I look at your favorite shade tree and you aren't under it. But I know baby that you are with me always living on in the spirit of your new brother Turbo which was rescued as a tribute to both you and Maddie. I love you baby
8/5/10
My beautiful boy, I think of you so often and how you would lay on the love seat in daddy's office with one paw hanging over ready to move if daddy moved. He loved you Kaizer more than a zillion times over more than the stars in the sky. I cleaned your urn yesterday and Maddie's too. We love you and miss you, holding you close always in our hearts.
Love Mommy
8/10/10

My precious boy tomorrow will be 3 years that your MaMaw (my mom) went to be in heaven with my daddy and all you beautiful babies. Find her tomorrow baby boy and tell her that I love her and I miss you lots, I am sure that you , Princess and Maddie can find some time to spend with her by the beautiful streams as she sits to watch my daddy fish. I love you baby boy always have always will!!!
8/30/10
My beautiful baby boy, I have left your candle for the service tonight. I miss you so very much, and think of how very lucky I was to have spent so many years with you. You will always stay in my mind as Kaizer the King...Turbo has the "look" as we call it and is very spoiled sometimes I think that you and Maddie are alive in him so much of both of you. I miss you so much and wish everyday that you could have lived here with us forever but we know that isn't the plan of God but we do know that His plan is for us to be together again one day. I love you always still and forever will. I will light your candle and think of each of you tonight at 10. I wish you a day filled with bright sunshine up there in heaven.
9/9/10
Today my precious baby mommy and her heart are so very sad as she remembers her daddy and on this dy 14 years ago that he left her for heaven. The only person in this world that never let her down. I miss him so much and you, just like the song, says" My heart will go on" Yes it does but a little less happier. I miss you baby boy so very much.
9/16/10
My baby boy this morning we were talking to Turbo your daddy and I telling him how much he would have liked you. You know that daddy and I have full blown conversations always answering ourselves back in who evers voice we are speaking too, LOL..Turbo told us that he would have loved to meet you that you must have been pretty special since we talked about you all the time...Well you were my baby a pretty special boy. I love you forever and always.
Love Mommy
9/21/10
My beautiful baby boy,I miss you so very much I see so much of you in Turbo , he is so demanding of our attention, just like you were. He is so forceful about saying to us, "hey look at me I want you to touch me if you can see me LOL"...just like you. I have always said and will always say that we don't find our babies they find us and I believe with all my heart that Turbo came to us , looking so much like you and Maddie in combination. He has those eyes just like Maddie but he has your face and your spirit, he has her longer flowing hair and your dark black color. Oh well I could go on but I don't need to do I baby because I know you sent him to us so you knew about him before us ... I love you baby to the moon and back.
10/2/10
My beautiful boy mommy is going on a rescue transport today, send me traveling graces from heaven and watch over us and this little one til it gets to it's forever home.. I do this in honor of you my boy...I love you forever more
10/6/10
The birds are singing outside it is a little nippy, the kind of weather that you love to lay in the cool grass, I can look out the office window and see you laying there under the bush. You started the "place making" as I call it now all thirteen of the shrubs have holes under them made just for the fit of each of the bodies of the babies to lay in. LOL YOur brothers and sisters use your spot I know you won't mind. We trim the shrubs so that each of you will have that special spot to lay in..isn't the most beautiful in the neighborhood but who cares as long as each of my special babies are comfy. Sending you hugs and loves all the way to heaven today. I love you my big buger boy always have always will.
10/10/10
Good morning beautiful boy today I was sitting here thinking of how you and your daddy loved to snore. LOL I could here you when you could still make it up the stairs I never knew which one was snoring the loudest you or daddy, I could sit downstairs and here you. I long for those days again. I love you boo and count myself blessed that you were with me all those years ups and downs goods and bads always and forever my Kaizer boo.
10/18/10
Our love story...boy oh boy it will surely live in my heart forever. I love you boy and miss you each day....mommy has to take a trip to UVA today send your angels to watch over me. I love you I left your candle for the service tonight. I will think of you at 10...love you to the moon and back

1/11/11
Good morning baby boy, as I sit here petting your new brother Turbo I see so much of your soul in him, so much of you my big boy. There is no doubt to me now that he was sent to us to help us understand that both you and your sister Maddie would live on in our hearts forever and ever until we meet again. He looks so much like Maddie with the exception of his coal black fur like yours and those eyes, they are you my Kaizer. He is very very special to us and I thank you and Maddie and all the angels for sending us this beautiful soul. We love you still and always will.
Love mommy
1/26/11

We love him very much...you will always be Kaizer our King!!!
3/10/11

A new angel is coming ot heaven today..your daddy's mom has passed. She will be a human so look for her she will need lots of help exploring heaven so be sure to find her at the gates and tell her Kaizer that we love her and are happy she isn't suffering anymore. We love you baby boy always and forever.

7/6/11
Hello my beautiful boy, Old Girl is on her way to be with you in heaven. Sadly we had to help her to new life today at 10:30, she was such a blessing for us, I thank your sister Princess for sending her our way, even though she was 15, we only had her for 3 years but oh what wonderful years...today I am sad but still feeling honored to have known such love as you precious babies.
7/12/11
As I sat there this morning drinking my coffee I sat there looking at the three wooden urns that held you, Maddie and now Old Girl...just another example of how fleeting life is, then yesterday as I mowed and looked at Princess's grave outside I thought once again that this is how it ends .... so another lesson you each have taught me... to take each day as the most special day you have because they can be gone in an instant... I love you baby boy always have always will!!! Run now boy, I know your legs are new again and your beautiful black coat doesn't have one speck of gray.
Love always mommy
7/20/11
Yesterday was a very bad day for mommy buddy, I miss you each so much but I know you were happy that is all that counts!!! Love you
7/21/11
It is so hot here today baby boy, I sit here thinking of all those beautiful furbabies out there in this weather, I wish I could save them all. Watch over them Kaizer from your spot in heaven, give them a cool place to lay their heads and a cool drink of water. We are forever gratefrul for you our beautiful big boy.
8/2/11
You were our warrior boy, you fought so hard to live and live you did !!!! We miss you my sweet angel boy... the king always and forever no matter how many come or go ..... there will forever be only one Kaizer
8/10/11
As I sit here thinking of all those who are at this moment being battered and abused, I look to the heavens and thank God and all His angels that you never had to live that life...unlike your brothers and sisters who came to us from such horrible lives, but it is our duty to press on to love and care for as many as our hearts can handle. We love you always and forever our precious black king.
8/19/11
Today is just one of those days my precious boy, that I sit and think I just didn't have enough time with you...I wish you were here with me but know that God had a different plan. Love you still to the moon and back
9/18/11
I love you baby boy..as I was mowing today I thought of you and how you used to lay under your tree and watch me mow...now there is just your plaque there...miss you forever by big black boy
9/26/11
My beautiful black boy, daddy and I sat outside yesterday evening and thought of you alot. We miss you, our "tree" will never be the same, we always think of you now as we look at that tree, the last place you lay before you went to heaven. We love you always and forever our beautiful child always and forever !!!+
10/6/11
Today I sit here and think of you and how I wish just for a moment I could catch a glimpse of you running thru heaven...on your new legs...I bet you are like you are when you were running in that field that Fall day way back when...that day I will never forget...
10/9/11
My precious boy...I can remember so clearly the first time I ever saw your face with that little red string around your neck I knew you would be mine...the first and the only dog I ever bought but man oh man worth every penny.
10/22/11
My beautiful boy, mommy is helping with a transport today of a beautiful Eskie ... I will be the one handing him off to his forever mommy. Gather your sisters and go to the tips of the rainbows to send us traveling mercies and traveling mercies to all those beautiful souls to are helping to get this precious one to it's forever home. Another saved...one at a time...one day at a time..my prayer is that there will be a day when none of us are needed that every creature of God has a home and someone to love them, like you did (do)!!
10/25/11
He is you in a new body, that is my thoughts at times when I look at Turbo, not only me but daddy feels the same way. From the way he lays to the way he demands our attention...thank you my big man for sending us a sign in the form of a black dog named Turbo. Always and forever , our boy always and forever in our hearts.
10/28/11
The simple gift of the love of an animal can give humans so very much, it makes me wonder at times how anyone could go thru this life that is sometimes tough....and not have had that love .. the only love on this planet that expects nothing in return but a pat on the head.
11/9/11
My beautiful boy you were a real "warrior" you hung on when we thought you would have been gone long ago...tomorrow I send to you and the others, Beasley, your friend he has cancer and we have been giving him the care he deserves in his life for about two months.

My beautiful boy I love you so much and I think of how on Thursday, it will be Thanksgiving and oh my how you loved to lay under the table with the hopes of someone dropping something ...and if they didn't you would no doubt let them know with your big big bark that "hey Kaizer is here and I want some food"...God you loved to eat...I miss you my old friend, you were that special boy that will always and forever be in my heart.
11/29/11
Sometimes when I think of you, I have a little chuckle thinking of how you loved to eat...my oh my you loved to eat..almost anything, everytime I eat an apple I think of you and how you loved to eat the core. I miss you Kai there will never be another one as special as you, although they each are special there is and always will be only one big black dog..I love you
12/11/11

2/12/12
Yes, it is true one does go on after suffering loss, I can attest to this with the loss of so many that I have loved. It does make me think about life a little more in depth and how blessed I have been to have been touched by so many both human and furry. I love you my boy always and forever more.
2/15/12
Today I sit and think of the first time I ever saw your little face the runt with the red string(boy did you ever fool us you 114 lb. runt LOL) and the last time I ever saw your face...or at least the last time on this side I believe my precious boy that I will see you once again.
