In loving memory of our chubaca "chuey" gomez who we love so much. Chuey or as we liked to call him "Little Chewster" came to us right around Christmas of 2006. We never expected his little life would bring such a big load of love, but it did. From the first day our family fell in love with him. His heart was so big, and he was so fearless he didn't think twice about walking up to his new big brother Diablo. Did I mention his big brother was a 100 lb. German Shepherd? He never thought twice about it, his lion heart never showed fear. I will never understand how such a little life could touch so many lives. Guess thats the gift of unconditional love for life. He will forever be in our hearts. Sleep softly little lion, you earned your place in heaven.

Our family and friends would like to thank each of you for taking time out of your lives to read and learn about chuey. I am sure you will agree, his passing was way too early. Try not to think of the loss, but rather join us in celebrating his life by signing his guestbook, and taking time every day to look up at the sky, smell a flower, hug a loved one, or do chuey's favorite activity....lick a loved one! Smiles before frowns. I am sure that's what he would want us all to have. His love was unconditional, as ours will be for him. Thank you for spending just a short time with us in celebration of our little lion's life.

Hi! My name is Diablo. That's me hanging out with my little brother Chuey. My mommy took this picture during Chuey's first days with us. I was not too sure what to make of this little thing at first. I mean, it smelled like one of us, and it kind of looked like one of us, but it was about as big as my nose. As time went on we got really close. So much so that I even let him spend time with me on my bed. You can see a small video clip of him on my bed on his slide show or photo album page. My little brother Chuey was so funny. He would run all around me. My daddy says I used to do that too so I gave chuey a break when he would go nuts. I will always remember his scent, and the tiny tongue he used to lick my nose with. I wish he could have come out to play with me in my back yard. I would have let him play with my ball, and showed him to dig holes. that always makes my daddy so happy :) My parents didn't tell me what happened to my little brother last night, but I knew something was not right. He's not coming home anymore and that's for sure. Who is going to scare me now? Who is going to chase me off my bed? Everyone else is afraid of me. Good bye little bro!! I'll see you one day at the Rainbow Bridge. Be sure to come find me and your sister Ginger one day ok? I will always love you little lion!!

This is my mommy and me. She was always holding me and kissing me. She's pretty big and that just meant there was so much more love for her to give me. I hope I was able to give it back to her.

I used to like to hang out on the couch with one of my human pals. they were so cool to me. Always gave me whatever I wanted without any complaints. Man, I should have asked for a giant steak!!! What was I thinking?? :)

Sometime it's good to just throw up your paws and say "Don't sweat the small stuff"....HEY!! Wait a minute.....I'm the small stuff!!

Me and Mommy again!!

Ok, so I was just walking around and all of a sudden, BAMM!!! this giant can of Pepsi jumped out at me. I was sure glad it came because the hot sauce I had put on my food was getting to me.

I had so many toys to play with I didn't know what to do. Mommy kept bringing home all these toys. Some were cool, others were a little boring, but she brought them so I played with them. The blue bumble bee you see behind me was one of the sympathy toys I played with at times to make mommy feel good. You know humans, they aren't the smartest animals on the planet. I don't have a picture of my favorite toy right here, but check out my photo album and you might see me tearing up my Tigger doll. Well, thats me in a nutshell. Please dont't cry too much. I don't regret my life here with you all. In fact, I am so thankful for the love my mommy and family showed me. I am blessed I got to feel what so many of my animal brothers and sisters never get to feel. Well, time to go play with my new fur friends, Thanks for stopping by and thanks for all the love you are giving to my family. They could really use all the love and support you can give them right now!! God Bless the little one's! Love eachother like there is no tomorrow. What a wonderful world!!!
