Our Little Boy, Arnie

by Stu & Yvonne
(North Wales)

We said goodbye to our beautiful boy, Arnie last week on 20 May, 2020 after 12 years of unconditional love. He came in to our lives in 2008 when my wife, Yvonne had stage 4 cancer. I truly believe it was Arnie’s love, affection (and antics!) that helped her through this time.
We were inseparable as a family, Arnie came everywhere with us, days out and holidays and was a huge part of our lives.

In 2015, we welcomed a little sister for Arnie in to the house, he was very protective of Ellie and became great playmates bringing a new dynamic to the family.

The following year, Arnie was diagnosed with Cushings disease which was a real shock but through a lot of love and some medication, he lived a full and happy life.

Arnie had a beautiful temperament, he was sensitive and loving, a true family dog. Some people say he was a lucky dog to have had the life he had with us but we think we’re the lucky ones to have had such a beautiful, caring and loyal little dog who made such a huge difference to our lives, he was our very special little boy.

The days feel so empty without him and the pain from losing him is immense, I’m sure that one day the tears of sorrow will change to happy memories of all the good times we spent together and there were lots of them.

Arnie is with the angels now, enriching their days as he did ours.

Rest in peace our beautiful boy
Love Mummy, Daddy and Ellie

Sending Hugs
by: Tracy Alder

Arnie was a very handsome boy! I know you miss him so much, but hold on to the wonderful memories you made together. You'll meet up again one day. Afterall, it can't be Heaven if there aren't any Schnauzers!

Love is a 4 legged word
by: Robbie Womble Sykes

My heart is breaking for you. Tears are streaming down my face, for you see, I’ve been in your place before. Everyone of our little boys we’ve lost made an indelible print in our hearts and we miss and think about them everyday. While grieving for all 3 is heartbreaking, we couldn’t think of living without any of them. We are praying for you, for Arnie and for everyone who was touched by his presence in their lives.
A message for Arnie: Arnie, precious boy, there are 3 little Schnauzers who crossed that rainbow bridge before you. Go find Ruff, Rowdy and Pepper. One liked to take time to smell the roses, one liked his toys and one loved to play ball...all the time! But remember, you were loved more than words can express. RIP sweet baby.

RIP Arnie
by: Stephanie

So sorry to hear about the loss of Arnie. I know it is tough. I lost my mini schnauzer, Kipton, in December 2017. Even though I no longer have a schnauzer, I come to this page to see pictures and read stories about others. I love seeing their cute faces, including Arnie and Ellie.

The pain gets better over time and soon you'll find joy in your memories of Arnie. He will always be with you in your heart and in spirit.

Schnauzers are the best.
by: Patrick E Libby

I know the feelings that are being felt at this time as I went through them in 2012 when my Smokie went across the Rainbow Bridge. I do know that Arnie was a blessing to you and that you did have many great years with him as well as fun times. My heart goes out to you during this time of grieving but always know that Arnie will be in your heart always.

Rest in Peace, Arnie
by: Steve and Lena

Loving kindness to you in this sad time. Arnie will live on in your hearts and memories. We lost our boy Nemo four years ago and while we may never get over the loss, he is still a presence in our daily lives. Take care of yourselves. We're sure Arnie was happiest when he felt your love and happiness.

My sympathies
by: Dini Jean

My heart goes out to you..losing your boy is beyond bearable. I am with you, as my 16.7 yr old schnauzer left me in July and it still hurts. Those little love hugs just steal your heart, but give so much in return. Take care in knowing that Arnie knew how much you loved him... he is now your guardian angel until you meet again! Hugs and love 🤗❤️

We feel your pain
by: Joan

These schnauzers are so lovable and get so close to us that they make our life happy but it is painful when they have to go (always too soon). We now have a little girl who will be 3 in June and her little brother who is almost one. They make our life better every day. So sorry about your Arnie!!

Love in a fluffy suit
by: Louis Ratcliffe

I’m certain that my four Schnauzers AND your Arnie were just love in fluffy suits. Some days I wonder how I go through my day without my bearded friends. They each manage to wiggle not only into your heart, but into your soul. Arnie is playing with Bentley, Alibi, Sawyer and Sydney, waiting to run into your arms when you cross the bridge.
Knowing they are waiting for me keeps me going when I think about how rambunctious and silly they are being. Remember he is free from pain and can be just like he was as a young gentleman.

Such a beautiful tribute to an obviously amazing family member. My heart aches for your loss, but at times like this we must remember the joy our valued family members brought over the years. The pain is amazingly tough at the moment of loss, but the years of joy far outweighs the pain.

Arnie loved you so very much
by: Kristyl

Just to say that if Arnie could talk to you right now, I'm sure he would thank you for the beautiful life you gave him, for the years of love, for taking good care of him all the time, and he would let you know that he will always be your Angel boy from this point forward. Much love and many hugs to you from me and my Schnauzer crew here and in heaven. May he go find Misty Rose, Sir Barkley, Nash, and River and have a great time frolicking through the heavens, free as the wind.
