Chase
RIP Bubba, you will be greatly missed.
Welcome! My name is Kelly and Vampy Varnish is a cruelty-free beauty blog.
Here you will find high quality photos and honest product reviews of all the latest and greatest collections. Oh and also a lot of cat photos.
I am very sorry for your loss and you and your family are in my prayers during this stressful time.
Oh no! I’m so very sorry to hear about Chase. I always liked when you posted pictures of him. I wish I could say something that would actually help, but I know that’s not possible. You have all my good thoughts!
Kelly, I’m so sorry. Those pictures made me happy because you can see what a wonderful life you gave him. I love the handprints/pawprint one, so sweet. But you know that for as much as you gave him, he gave you so much more. Sending hugs to you.
Oh no! I was really pulling for him. How are you holding up? Lots of love and from me and my fur-babies. *hugs*

I am so so sorry, I can’t even imagine what you must be going through. He had a great life and you have so many great memories of him. I always enjoy your pictures of pets, who doesn’t love pets! Stay strong and think of a good life he had. Thinking of you guys…
All dogs go to heaven. He’s watching over you, waiting for the day you will meet again..

I am so sorry. What a wonderful happy doggie and very lucky to be loved so much.
I normally just lurk, but I just had to post. Your slide show left me with tears running down my face. What a sweet dog, and it looks like you gave him such a loved and happy life! You have my deepest sympathy and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
VV, I am so sorry for your loss. Chase was beautiful, special, and this just hurts. Thinking of you…
I’m so sorry for your loss.. my dogs died last year and I know how much it hurts. Your slideshow has left me boohooing from the thoughts of when mine were alive & how much fun we had together. Chase will always be there for you.. you were a wonderful mom. Much love to you and everyone that misses him
So so sorry for your loss, Kelly! Must be devastating.. sending positive thoughts & good energy your way for those icky, dreadful days!

I am sorry for your lost Kelly. My heart aches as I was going through this slide show. Chase was such a beautiful dog. And I’m sure he lived a great life with lovely owners. Many animals don’t get to experience love and family, and you gave that gift to him, as he gave a gift of love and loyalty to you and yours. Dogs are wonderful pets. I hope you’re hanging in there =/ *hugs*

Hi Kelly,
Hope you are coping well. I cant imagine loosing someone so dear, I have a 12-yr old dog and seeing him getting weaker and weaker over time really kills me. I am sure Chase is in doggy heaven with all his friends, his favourite toys and lotsa yummy treats. Once again, I am so sorry for your lost. *hugz*
Kelly,
Watching this beautiful slideshow made me sad that you’ve lost a dear friend, but so glad to see pictures of a happy puppy’s life well lived. I don’t have to know you in real life to know that you’re an awesome mom to your furry babies. Sending you love from the east coast.
I’m so sorry for your loss! The slideshow made me cry like a baby. But it made me also happy, because Chase looks very happy in every single photo! And that says a lot… *hugs*

Kelly, I had a feeling this week that something had happened to Chase and I am so very sorry for your loss. A pet is just like family – I know I’ve lost many myself and it is so very painful. Your video is a beautiful tribute to him – I’m keeing you and your family in my thoughts at this very difficult time.
Your slideshow of Chase showed how much he was truly loved. What a great life he had as part of your family. I’m really sorry.
I am so sorry to hear about Bubba. A pet is part of the family and will be greatly missed, but I know you will always remember the great times you shared together. Take care.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You have so many memories to be able to keep him alive in your heart forever.
So sorry to hear about this, Kelly. Thinking of you and your family.
What a beautiful tribute to Chase and the love you and your family shared with him. My thoughts are with you guys.
Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry. I have not been reading this blog for very long, but I have a puppy of my own and the thought of losing him is too awful to consider. My thoughts are with you.
This tribute to Chase and the love you shared really touched my heart. What a wonderful life you all had together! Thank you for sharing this with us. I am very sorry for the loss of your dear Bubba.
Kelly, I know you wont respond to this, but I am truly sorry for the both of you. I’m not sure what happened, but I have been there 2x’s. The photo of all of your hand prints killed me. You were, & are outstanding parents. Never forget that…
((((((((((((((BIG HUGE HUG)))))))))))))))))))
My heart breaks for you and your family and the loss you are suffering. I am truly sorry. May you find peace somewhere… and may time help ease your pain.

I’m very sorry to hear about Chase. I can see he was a very happy wonderful dog. I like to think that wherever we go after this life we’ll be able to be with those we lose. He’ll be waiting to play and be with you again. I hope you’re doing well. Take care.

I’m so so sorry you lost your little buddy. My dog died a few months ago and it’s absolutely heartbreaking cos they’re such a big part of your life aren’t they. You have my full sympathy x
Oh, I’m so, so sorry for your loss. I lost one of my cats suddenly last summer, I can vividly imagine how you’re feeling. All the best wishes for you.
I’m so sorry to hear you have lost Chase! My thoughts are with you and your family. I wish you lots of hugs and support during this difficult time
Aww.. I burst into tears watching this slideshow. What a beautiful dog with an equally beautiful soul.
My sympathy for your loss.

Oh Kelly, I too am so sorry. But a beautiful tribute, it brought me to tears.
Oh, I am crying like a baby right now- that slideshow was so lovely. I am so sorry to hear about Chase! What a gorgeous and obviously a wonderful dog he was! (and always will be…) It looks like you had wonderful times together, and I hope those are what you carry with you forever, not the sadness of his loss.
I lost my 20+ year old cat Jules several years ago, and I still burst out crying sometimes. But then I remember him, and I feel better.
My advice: start a list of all of the great (and not so great) stuff you remember about Chase- just keep adding to it whenever you think of something new. Then, in the years to come, when your memory might not be as fresh, you’ll always have that list to remind you of his idiosyncrasies, and all the fun you had. He’ll never be really gone. I swear, you’ll find the list in 5 years and laugh yourself silly, remembering all the fun you had…
I also wanted to mention that in lots of these pictures, he totally looks like he’s smiling!
((((HUGS TO YOU))))
I am truly sorry for your loss, touching tribute for a very sweet dog, hope you’re OK.
Like everyone else here, I’m so sorry. I think we’ve all had to go through the loss of a pet one time or another. I wish you good vibes during this time :[
Oh Kelly, I am so sorry. Your slideshow brought tears to my eyes. I know what it likes and I’m very sorry. He lived a very long and happy life. I’m so sorry. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
I’m so sorry about your loss. There’s nothing like the love of and for our fur babies.
I was getting worried when you hadn’t posted. I now see that you were spending precious time with a beautiful member of your family that will be missed. We’ll all be thinking of you.
So sorry for your loss. I know there are no words to comfort you right now. Just keep in mind that you were very blessed to have his love for so long and he was very lucky to have such a wonderful family. He’ll always be with you.
I am sorry for your loss. The joy he brought to your life was a precious gift.
Ugh, it’s such a horrible thing to lose a pet. I can’t imagine the day I’ll lose my little cat demons.

What a wonderful tribute to your beloved dog. I am so sorry for your loss…..I’ve been there before and I know how heart wrenching it is to lose them. He looked so cute with those ears that stood upright. take care….
I am so sorry for your loss. I’m crying with you. Looks like he was fantastic, always smiling.
What a cute little guy he was. I could tell that he was a very, very loved member of your family. Losing a pet–a friend–is so hard. Take all the time you need.

Hi Kelly:
I am very sorry for your loss of your dog. A number of years ago before my mom died we lost our cocker spaniel Brownie, he lived for 17 years. He brought my dad and mom and everybody in our family sister, brother in law, nieces and nephew a wonderful collection of joy and laughter. I can’t imagine what you must be going through but this is really a very beautiful tribute to a member of your family.
He used to eat pineapple, any fruit except bananas, he loved stealing stuff, my dirty socks, my steak and cheese sandwich and a entire roast my mom made us for supper one evening. We bought him as a puppy because the pet store told my dad “he’s getting too big for the cage!” May Chase RIP, Amen,

What a sweet and handsome face he had. Rest in peace, precious angel.
I just hugged my cat a little tighter with tears running down my cheeks watching the slide show. My condolences. He was a beautiful dog and you gave him a wonderful life.
I’m so very sorry for your loss! I have a 14 year old cat, and he’s like my baby. I’ll be devastated when he goes, but I know that it’s going to happen someday. Knowing that doesn’t make it any easier.
I have you in my prayers.
I’m so sorry, Kelly! Your slideshow was a great tribute and had me in tears because I know how hard it is to lose a dog. Take a much-needed break and know that we are all thinking of you. <3
.-= Kasey´s last blog ..Any suggestions? =-.
I’m so sorry Kelly, I’m sending you a hug from Southern California! He’s eating all the dog treats he wants up in puppy heaven. Feel better soon!

Kelly, I’m so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers. I know it must be very difficult. Sending hugs to you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Chase was a beautiful happy boy and I’m sure he’ll be missed.
I am sorry for your loss, Kelly. I know what it is like to lose a pet, and how much they touch our lives. I will be thinking of you.
I am so sorry for your loss, it’s terrible to have a member of your family pass away, human or furry – no difference imho. I love your slideshow, even though it made me cry like a baby… *hugs*
What a cute dog. So Sorry for your loss. Hugs.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. My cats are my kids, and I know how much a part of our families our pets are. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Vaya Con Dios, CHASE!
I am sorry for your loss. I know that there aren’t the words to console this type of loss. May his sweet puppy soul rest in peace. If there is anything I can do for you I am here for you. May god help to offer you all the strength and the beautiful memories to endure this difficult time. Hugs to you and your family.
Oh hun! I am so sorry for your loss! From the photos in your slide show (which made me tear up, btw) I can see that he was a sweet old dog who lived a good life. Although it hurts now you can take consolation from knowing that he knew that he was loved.
Kelsey
I’m so sorry, you are in my thoughts!!
I’m so sad…

I am very sorry for your loss of Chase
He will always love you for the awesome life you gave him.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Dogs make life so much better. Your pictures brought me to tears. It is a little comforting to know they go right to heaven <3
So sorry for your loss. He was a very handsome dog. RIP Chase
i’m so sorry my dear <3
I am so sorry. I’ve been there and even though I don’t know you, I’m sending you many virtual hugs.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
I came back to look at this slideshow again. I think I made it to the 4th picture before I started to cry. I can really see how much Chase was loved. Like others have said, he is indeed smiling!
After seeing this post last week, I was moved to do something I have been putting off. I donated to a great animal charity. It wasn’t much. But it’s something I think we all can do because animals can’t speak for themselves.
RIP Chase.
i was not expecting to shed a tear, but clearly i’m a pet lover. Picture 35 is beyond perfect. Hang in there love!

Watching the slideshow made me feel really emotional. I know exactly how you feel Kelly, we had to let our beloved dog go last summer. He was 12 and still greatly missed.
I want to wish you & your family great strenght in this very difficult time. *hugs*
