Guestbook for Monk


Posted By Pam Becker on May 01 2013

Oh how wonderful he looked walking down the hospital corridors. A magnificent, confident, beautiful boy with a sensitive soul. People he visited were in awe of him - he reflected the gentleness of his handler and the two of you are kindred spirits and always will be. I will never forget him, Teri. Never. It was a pleasure knowing this gentle boy. My heart goes out to you - he was your "forever dog". He was special.

Oh Terri I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I will always remember your beatiful Monk - it breaks my heart to think of him as gone. He truly was a gift - a once in a lifetime dog.

Terri, I am stunned by the loss of Monk. You two were such a tremendous team that touched so many here at the hospital. I had a particular fondness for Monk as well; it always brightened my day to see you in our corridors. I still have his picture on my desk (where it will stay). I send you hugs and strength during these next weeks. Over time, I know your thoughts will be able to focus on the joy he provided to so many and the blessing he was to have had.

Oh, Teri, I am so so sorry and heartbroken to hear about Monk's passing. Such and incredible and beautiful dog- inside and out! He was so special, and every single patient, family member and staff person who had the pleasure of meeting him will never, ever forget him. Personally, I will never forget the first time I met him. Our eyes met, and he just knew that I was slightly anxious about large black dogs. He held eye contact with me, bowed his head just a little, then tilted his head to the side and smiled at me, with his tongue out. And that was it! I was in love! He was so gentle, in a way only the strong and powerful really can be. I can't begin to imagine how sad you are just now, but I hope that all the love we have for Monk and for you will help just a little. Sending prayers and love, ~Conni

Bye, bye, Monk. Thank you for the years of service and dedication you happily gave to those who needed you. Rest in peace. Atta Boy!

Dear Teri - My heart is breaking for you - I know how devastated you must be at the loss of your beautiful Monk. He was so regal and calm while providing pet therapy to all that he met - always improving their day with his loving nature. It was an honor over the years, for Jenna and I to know and work with both of you; such an outstanding team. Thank you for all that you have done and for touching so many lives - I will keep you in my prayers during this difficult time.

Monkee A one in a million guy. He will always live on in my heart and in those who met this wonderful gentleman. He loved his mom the most....We always enjoyed his calm and steadfast presence. He is missed both by his humans and animal persons. I loved Monkee the first time I met him. Rest in peace you beautiful soul. I will never forget his singing, such a treasure.
