...to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tuk-tuk was a most beautiful being who succeeded in life. I adored and admired him. He's touched everyone he's ever met. He tackled everything with amazing spirit, determination, tenacity and humor. He displayed all the qualities that I strive for. He loved me and I loved him right back.

The cutest thing on four legs passed from a rare brain tumor. The world is a less bright place and my heart is broken. I love you Tuk.

Dawn,

What a beautiful post and fitting tribute to Tuk. I am crying along with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I truly believe Tuk is now an angel, with all our other departed fur-kids. I am so sorry that you and your children have to endure this sadness, but happy that you were able to know and love this very sweet dog for as long as you did.

Sending hugs & love,
Autumn

The world is a less bright place...but Heaven is now even a brighter place and God holds Tuk in His hands. He has no more pain, is happy and awaits your reunion.

I am so sorry for your families loss.

Tuk has moved from your loving arms to God's, and will live happily with him until he is able to be with you again. Our condolences to you and your family.

Oh, Dawn, although I knew the day was coming, I still can't stop my tears. I think I once wrote to you that Tuk-tuk was the first Cairn who caught my eye when I came to this forum. Your posts about him in happier days, including how he got his perfect little name, always brought a smile to my heart. Well, my heart is now broken. I am just so very, very sorry. Tuk was and always will be such a special boy, and you have honored his memory with such a lovely, fitting quote. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May Tuk's gentle Cairn spirit watch over you and your family every day of your lives.

Godspeed, beloved Tuky! You are so deeply loved and missed, sweet boy, and are forever in our hearts.

Sorry very sorry for you and your family. Tuk was a piece of your heart I can tell by your wonderful message. You will carry a heavy heart for a time, but the memories that you have of Tuk and the stories that you will tell of Tuk will help lighten your load. God bless.

Fur-angel.

I'm sure the past couple days have been very tough. I've been thinking about you all weekend. We are here if you need anything.

God Bless,

I was so touched by this wonderful little dog who I loved so much, even though I never knew him. He was sweet and beautiful and I followed his story here. How is it possible that I loved a little guy I never met who lived clear across the country? He has touched my heart deeply. Sadly, over the weekend our human family has lost two beloved members, a dear uncle and a dear cousin, due to both a stroke and an aneurysm. It feels like our world has turned upside down a little bit. And then I come here and see that Tuk-Tuk has been lost to our extended cairn family (though you might not know it, you are all a part of our cairn family). Dawn, he filled up your life with happiness and joy and he left much too soon. I am so sorry. This is so sad. I have no brilliant thoughts to add upon his passing. Just my sympathies extended to you and your family. - Mrs. P.

My thoughts have been with you all weekend. May you remember the good times you had with the gorgeous TukTuk and celebrate his life with you even though it was cut short.

What a beautiful memoriam.

I am weeping for you, Dawn. I have felt that pain myself.

Time will heal your sad, sad heart. Remember that you gave him a wonderful life and did the best you could for him. Thank goodness he had you as his mom. At some point I hope you will bring another fur baby into your life. It will be one lucky little fur baby to have you as their parent.

God bless you and yours and may your heart feel peace soon.

Remember the good times with Tuk-tuk.

Thru tears I write this telling you how very sorry I am to hear that Tuk-tuk lost his battle. My heart breaks for all your family. You could not have done more to care for him. I hope that gives you comfort remembering how precious he was and how much love these precious dogs bring to our lives.
May God comfort you in these hard times.

Dawn,
A very touching memorial. I know the last few months have been tough, no doubt that Tuk was a very well loved member of your family.
