Abbagail thru Azta

Dear Abby, I will miss you so very much. You were always there for me, no matter what. You saved me from that burning house, so very long ago. If you hadn't alerted me, I would have probably burned up too. You were my pride and joy and I loved you from the first day that I met you in that classroom, so many years ago. You have given me nothing but pleasure your entire life and I love you with all my heart. I hope that I will see you again someday. Goodbye my sweet Abby. I will miss you terribly. Love Deb

ABBE,
You were such a sweet "Baby Girl" to us. We didn't have much time with you but you left paw prints on our hearts. We love you and miss you.

Donna Shepherd

Gone but not forgotten.

Terry McKnight

I hope you knew I was with you Abbey, in the end. I didn't want you to go alone. We all miss you more than words can say. You were more than a pet, you were our friend, and there will never be another like you.

Jerry, Jill, Sky Lester

Abbey passed very quickly from this world from a sudden illness. She is survived by her brother Frank (littermate), and her dads Chris and Dan.

Abbey was a born leader, the ultimate high perch cat. She adopted me when she was a kitten, and then arranged for me to adopt her brother Frank who also faced life on the mean streets of Chicago. Although she was tough Abbey was also very loving and caring. She liked to be held and to snuggle in bed. She was always read to chase a string or to sit in a lap whether she was wanted or not. She pretty much always won the battle over what furniture she would be allowed on.

She was very special to me and I will always carry her memory with me

Chris Long

Abbey was a rescue Airedale who came to live with us when she adopted my husband, when he was around she was happy and when he would leave the house she was staying at she would go crazy with howling and barking till he would go back in and snuggle with her one more time till he was running late. So one day we just took her home to live with us and our other dogs, at first no one knew if she would like the other's but in time she was one of the family. At night she would come and lay on the floor at the end of the bed, then one day my husband got her to get in the bed with him and it was a happy day for all there he was in the water bed with all four dogs, Abbey, Lucky, Tasha, and Bogart. As time went on Abbey grow to love everyone in the house, yeah we still had to deal with the trash getting into but we knew it was her, as she was the "trash eater". When we moved her to a farm with us she loved to go and run the hill on our walks, one time she and Tasha got out and they both went on a "walk" and that is when we lost Tasha to the road, and we thought we lost Abbey too but she was found hiding in the high grass near where Tasha was found and was afraid to come out, we where so very happy to have her back. As Airedales go she was the one to turn her head and not look at you and think " she can not see me" then you would have to go and stand in front of her to make her see you and that was always fun. then there was the time that Andy went to mow the lawn and he thought she would run from the sound but ......she thought the riding mower was getting her daddy and she went after it....so she had to be inside all the time when it was time to cut the grass. In the past few years Abbey was dealing with some health issues and we went to the vet alot with her, she came down with Cushing's disease and cancer of the ear's, well on the 29th of June we took her to the Vet and found that she had a lump in her lungs that had moved her heart and the vet said it was time, as the mass would only grow more and it may burst in time and make life VERY painful for her, so we laid down on the floor with Abbey and talked with her while the vet gave her three shots one to help her relax one to help with the pain she was in and the sleep one, it was so hard to see her go but we knew that it was best for her and she would feel NO pain. After she was gone we drove her to be cremated. We will take her to where her Fur Pals are and leave her ashes with them ....Tasha, Bogart and Mister the cat. Now she is with them at the Bridge and watching over the ones that are left behind.

Maybe in time I will be able to reach out again and get another Airedale, never had one before but they do have personality that is for sure.

Abbey you were a GREAT dog and we miss you so much and just want you to know that you where a GOOD GIRL no matter what you did, and we are very sorry that we had to put you to sleep, but they told us it was the best for you. I LOVE AND MISS YOU ABBEY.

Love Mommy and Daddy.

Abbey darlin' you came to mend a broken heart 5 years ago. A cuddly red, retriever puppy to replace dear Amanda Rose. Sweetie, you were not a replacement, but a special loving addition to our family. A kind and gentle spirit that left us oh too soon.
Your sweetheart Mickey, is grieving and looking in all your favorite places. He is wearing your collar, I hope it makes him feel closer to you. Darlin', romp and play with Babe and Amanda in a wonderful place with no pain and suffering. If there is a heaven for dogs I know you will all be there. I miss you brown eyes!

Jan Penticoff

You were the light of my life. Let it shine with you for the rest of time!

Jen Aubrey

Abby disappeared several years back and I miss her terribly I used to dream that an old man found her and gave her a very good home. I had this dream several times and don't have it any more so I really feel she has passed on. She was a very loving pet and always aware of my feelings. I miss her greatly.

Pray for her,
Thank you,
Pam

A constant companion, you will never be forgotten!

Gale Bartley

Dearest Abby, Don't ever forget how much we love you, and always will. You have touched our hearts, and the hearts of many others, and you will never be forgotten. You've brought so much joy to our lives, especially Sara. We miss you terribly and hope you can send us the strength to get us thru these hard times. We love you with all our hearts. Wait for us, okay?? Love you so very much, Mamma, Daddy, and Sara Joy

Dear, sweet Abby! How we miss you. Hannah and Chewy look for you around the house. Four years old is too young for you to have to leave us. We hope and pray that the doctors will be able to learn something from your strange death to help other cats with a similar condition. Your gentle gray face and beautiful golden eyes are constantly in our thoughts of you. We are so sorry that we had to make the decision that we did, but we didn't want to prolong your suffering. We are happy that we had you as long as we did and will always remember that even people who didn't like cats liked you because you always greeted them at the door and behaved more like a dog than a cat. We did everything that we could for you, but even with three doctors and a specialist working with you there were no answers. We will meet again at the Bridge along with Molly, Joey and Mickey. Thank you for enriching our lives with your wonderful personality!

Susan Mitchler

Abby. our sweet old bathroom dog. Its going to be tough to take a shower without having her waiting on the floor for me to get out. I will meet her and Maggie and Getty at the rainbow bridge when the time is right.

Dawn & Kent

ABBY - Our Golden Girl

She was the love of our lives. Gave unconditional love and devotion for more than 10 years. We will always remember, until we meet again at the bridge. Goodbye my good girl.

Mommy & Daddy

Dearest Little Abby,
It's only been 2 days since Cancer finally won the battle and it was necessary to gently take your pain away. You put up a good fight baby. Our hearts are heavy with grief and our tears flow because we miss you so. You were our baby and went everywhere with us. You were a special little friend to us and you gave us great love. We shall miss your famous (after drinking water) kisses and your love of squeaky toys & barking at the squirrels. We shall cherish the memories you left with us. Your life passed so quickly. I still look for you in your special chair by our bed. We love you Abby and are so glad we had you in our lives. Until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge, run and play in the sun and wait for us to come. God Bless you. Love, Mom, Dad, John, Rich, Grandma & Grandpa.

You were my little girl, my friend. How I will miss your "happy tail" and your wiggle of excitement when I came home. You were so happy to see me, and I you.
Abby had liver cancer and seeing her in pain, I did what I know was the only thing I could do. It has left a hole in my heart to let her go. I know time will heal but right now dear Abby, I miss you terribly. xxxxooooo

Gayle Treat

She was a perfect Bull Terrier, a very gentle and lovely companion who owned our hearts and our lives. We think of her constantly. Thankfully we had the honor of sharing our lives with her for eight wonderful, incredible years.

Wendy & Jeff Barrett

Hi Abby I love you and miss you very much. You and I had a great time together. I suppose you are talking things over with Cinder & Heather. You were such a good companion. I'll always love you. I didn't want you to go but you were in pain. Take care my honey. Mommy

My Best Friend Abby went to The Bridge unexpectantly. She was so smart and beautiful. She knew everything we said to her and she did everything we told her to do. She went with my Dad every Saturday to get breakfast for the whole family. Her little heart gave out and Thankfully she did not suffer. She went to sleep and Peacefully found her way home. Her Passing has left a tremendous loss in our family but her love and memories keep us going. She lives through her little sisters Sabrina, Myndie and Jenna.

We Love You Abby.......You are the sweetest Dog we have ever known........We will miss you every day until we are together again.......

Love, Daddy, Mommy, Karen, Laurie, James, Caitlin, Amanda, Cody, KyLeigh, Casidie, Cameron, Kirby, Randy, Bailey, Kenzie, Riley, Sabrina, Myndie and Jenna

Our sweet Abagail Rose,

You are finally at peace. We love you so much, words can never express just how much. You gave us so much joy and happiness that we will be eternally grateful to you. You are a truly special dog - words cannot express the hole we feel in our hearts from your absence. You are our sweet angel and we know that we will be reunited with you some day. We love you sweet girl. Mommy & Daddy

Mike & Kim Protani

My sweet Abby.....We will surely miss your sweet face around this house. Kodi is missing you terribly and we're helping her to be happy again. No one could spin around in circles like you could every time you needed to go outside. And, our house will never have your protective watch guard ever again. We all love you and miss how the water in your bowl moved and scared you. You were a light to our world and we will never, ever forget you. Who will round up our ducks and chickens this summer now?! They, too, will miss your gentle but firm direction while gathering them up to their safe haven. There will never be another like you. All our love, hugs, kisses, and tummy rubs are with you forever. With unending love,

Mom, Dad, Mikie, Kristen, Rebekah, Kodi and Casey (and all the ducks and chickens too!)

Rest well sweet baby.

Abby, you are my sweet, precious, best, beloved girl. I will miss you and your love forever. I wish we could have had more time after our Benny died, but it wasn't to be. Until we meet again.......I love you.

Linda Wunschel

We will love and miss you forever Abigail. Words aren't enough to say how we feel. Our beloved daughter-Missy Man.

Eric and Kay Sternberger

Abigail (Ch. Larkspur Turnabout) was my faithful companion for almost 14 years. She saw me through 2 divorces and too many moves to count. She was a champion lakeland terrier, although many said she was common looking, but she was and always will be the champion of my heart. There will never be another like her. The last 2 years of her life were spent in the lap of luxury with a big yard to roam in, cats to play with and a nice petunia bed to sleep in under the sun.....She bore the pain of cancer for as long as she could until I knew that it was time to do the right thing by my old friend. It still pains me to this day and I miss her, as does her daughter "Tinker".....we sit nightly by her petunia covered grave in my garden and talk of her and look forward to the day when we can all be together again for I KNOW that God loves me and is preparing a place for me in heaven....and I am sure that Abby will be there!
I love you "Old Dog" and I will see you soon
Bret

To My Best Friend: May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind always be at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, And rains fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

We so miss you, our absolutely white, big boy-cat. Now you can have all the milk, ice cream and yogurt you want in Heaven. You survived Diabetes like a trooper, and fought Cancer, but it finally took you away from us. We will always love you and remember you. May you continue to nap in sunny places and eat to your heart's content.
Love Always, Mum & Daddy (Darcalyn & Kevin Darling)

A vivacious loving soul who is now unrestrained, you are missed.

Barbara Call

I want to let everyone know just how special Ace was to me... He was my true friend... He was always by my side...he knew when I was down and when I was happy..I will miss him so... my life now has a spot that no one can fill.. I love you Ace...

Karen

Ace Angel-

We love you and miss you so much. We will never forget how special you are.
Our love forever,

Kathleen Beres & Miller Einsel

I wish her spirit is still with us, playing and running around with my other horses in the pasture. I wish she is with Melanie, Paquita, Gaston and Puky (even she only knew Melanie) waiting for us, to be all together again. I wish she know how much I love her and how much she means to me and how happy and proud I am to have her all this years. She made me pull through very sad situations in my life. I wish she didn’t have to go.

Cora

Adam you were a very special member of our family. We loved you so much and will miss you always. We plan to adopt another Greyhound from the rescue group. I know you would be happy knowing that we plan to open our home to one of your friends. Eve and Maggie your sisters miss you too. You will always hold a very dear place in my heart.

Love,
Mom

Addison, we miss you so much. You were the center of our family. I know you are in heaven with God and that is the only thing that comforts me. You are sorely missed and pictures of you will always be hung in our home. We love you.

Adrian....my very special baby...
You will be missed, so very, very much!!!
We will never forget you and will always hold such a place in our hearts..
Love your whole family!

Charo Buckless

I will always love you. I miss you!

Robin

My sweet Adrienne will never be forgotten, I miss her every day. She was the sweetest dog I have ever had. I will miss giving her the little bit of my tea every day, the way she tried to pull my socks off when I put them on, the way she howled if I got a message on my answering machine if I was in the shower! No more tug or playing ball, no more warm body on my lap to pet and hold, no more little walks, these things I will miss dearly! She was my baby.

Always keep a smile on your face, A rainbow in your heart, And some chocolate on hand.
Hugs, Helen

In Memory of Agnes


When you bounded into my life,
With your red honey fur and black face;
With just a snip of white on the nose,
I had no idea.

I didn't know the joy you'd bring,
Not only to me, but to so many lives,
Some too far away to pet you or scratch your ears,
But their lives were touched.

Their lives were touched with laughter
At a dog labeled "Rad Dog" riding a scooter,
Or chasing bubbles in the Boxcracker Ballet,
Or by four-legged Magua in The Least of the Mohicans.

How quickly you learned sign language,
And I'll never forget the joy on that deaf child's face
When he signed to you and you obeyed,
"Sit, stand, come."
Now he raises dogs, and they all know sign.

We loved our summer days all the more
For your joy in the lakes, the streams, and the mountains
I can still hear our laughter echoing in the hills
When you chased that old boat bumper
Halfway to Haney's Island.

Even in old age, you were still giving,
So patient with the old ones you visited,
Sliding down the slippery halls
Dodging wheelchairs which you couldn't even see.

On that October day twelve years ago,
I had no idea.
I wanted a guardian and companion.
I got an angel and a friend.

My little A.J. disappeared nearly two weeks ago now. Somehow in my heart I know he's not coming back. I miss you so much, sweetheart. I'm so heartsick that I wasn't there to protect you and keep you safe. I loved how you cuddled and placed your head in my neck purring so loudly I thought you'd burst! You're an angel. You'll always be in my heart. I'll keep watching for you in the hopes that some day you'll come back into my life. But if you don't, I'll never forget you.

Chris

Dear Aksel, it has been four weeks since you left us but I still think about you every day. We miss you very much. I am sorry I couldn't have done more to help you. It wasn't fair that you got a disease when you were just a kitten, and wound up having such a short life. Your cat friends all miss you too. We will never forget you.

Love, Your family

He was the only one who never had to love me, but he did so with all his heart.

Ed Carrier

A true friend & loving companion............
Emily also misses you; she walks around crying & looking for you all the time.

Jo Ann & David Kinane

Well-loved, well-loving.

Albert was a big ole sweet guy.

Often more human than cat, he was always at the door when I came home, and always on my lap on even on my chest if I slept on "his" sofa.

I actually believe he loved my 49ers as much as I did as he sure did watch the games loyally on my lap. He was so affectionate and fun and easy-going ! He was special, unique and truly a wonderful companion.

Up early each day for breakfast, he was sure to give several love nods on my forehead until I woke up and completed my feeding, watering and petting responsibilities. And if later in the day he wanted more petting he was quick to take a gentle paw and stroke my chin or face to get more love strokes.

His illness came so fast. Apparently a blood clot began to destroy muscle tissue in his legs. He suffered in silence as we didn't know until the last day when he cried out loudly in pain.

How does one say yes to putting to sleep ones special little partner? My God I never knew that it could absolutely rip my heart out.

So today....Big Al is in Heaven. No pain and within a loving environment. For that I am grateful. But selfishly, my heart aches and I really miss him.

Ken Adams

Aleana we are going to miss you very much!!!! We love you !!!!! Every time we look up in the sky at night and see a star we know you are watching over us!!!! Even though you are not here with us....you are in our hearts forever. Aleana and Harley please take care of each other!!!!! We love you always!!!!

Love Kevin, Rhonda & Scooter!!!!

Sleep peacefully, my brave little polar bear boy. You will always be loved, always be safe.

Teddy Davenport

A tribute to Alex Der Vunderpup. You gave your love and trust unconditionally and we miss you terribly. You made a lasting impression on everyone you met and made alot of people happy. You will never be forgotten. We love you. Until we meet again little dude.
Love forever,
Mom & Dad

We are in a state of shock
You were such a healthy cat
Never sick a day
and you are never coming back

I rushed you to the vet
You could not move your legs
He said you were in such pain
and had a slim chance to live

We made the difficult decision to end your pain
and now you are at Rainbow bridge
You have lots of company there
Dinks, Jeanie, Cindy, Becky are waiting for you
We will see you again some day
We love you and miss you terribly

A Tribute to Alex
November 12, 1988 - August 28, 2001

Alex, you came into our lives as a sweet white 12 week old puffball. You shared your life, heart and home with us, Sasha , J.J., and Ted E., openly and joyfully. We will always have memories of your younger days when you wanted to play with Sasha and other dogs so badly that you didn't realize the power of your size and strength...
but you were a 'gentle giant'.

We wish you could have stayed with us forever, but your poor body just couldn't keep up with your will. We know you are in a better, pain-free, place now.

Alex, we will never forget you. Say hi to Sasha for us.
We will see you someday, 'Pally'.
So long sweet Alex.

- your 'mom and dad'

To our baby girl Alex - we loved you so much. Words cannot describe the pain we feel from your loss. We are so grateful for the almost 15 years you gave us. Letting you go was the hardest thing we've ever done, but we didn't want you to suffer any more. You will always be in our hearts. Until we are together again. Love Mom & Dad

Alex, you were my best friend and my baby; no matter what kind of day or what kind of person I was-you were there to smile at me and make me feel special. You brought so much joy and laughter to both mommy and daddy's life that there will forever be a special place in our hearts just for you. You made our little family, with your high fives and your hugs, and all the affection you lavished on us. We'll never forget how much you liked to just be with us, or lay on top us, or how much you liked to lick your daddy's beard. I'm sorry you had to leave so soon, but I think about you every day and am grateful and honored that you were part of our lives. I hope you are running around, chasing lizards, smelling and hunting everything in doggy heaven. Say hello to Friskie and Seve for us and look out for us from up there-it's comforting to think you are my guardian angel now. We love you and miss you very much.

Kim Hoffman

I mourn the loss of my friend. I can't stop blaming myself although I know it was an accident.

Catherine Shepherd

We truly miss you but know deep in our hearts you're with Boop and catching the ball in heaven and enjoy being able to run once again without pain.
Love Ya
Mama and Daddy

My dear sweet Alex, you were the sweetest most lovable dog we could have asked for. You lost your best friend Simba in a terrible accident on May 27th of 2000 who would have thought we would lose you so soon after. After Simba died you were never the same again, then in September we took you to the vet they gave you pills which helped for a little while. We took you back in October and November, December finally in January they took x-rays they said you had arthritis and some spots on your lungs. We had you on more medicine but I knew you were dying you had no energy anymore and just laid around. Daddy took you back last week and they took more x-rays that when they said it was cancer and to prepare for the end. Well last night Chris helped you get on the cough with me and you laid on me for two hours it felt good to hold you. We went to bed and you walked down the hall like you always did and laid next to the bed. But this morning when you tried to walk out your back feet didn't want to work for you it broke my heart to watch you try to walk. Daddy helped you out on the porch but you couldn't go anywhere. We brought you back in and carried you upstairs. We called the vet and she told us to bring you to the hospital at 12:00. I sat with you for the last hour rubbing you and loving you until it was time to go. We brought you into the room and Daddy, Chris and I held you until you finally went to sleep for the last time. We know that your finally with your best friend Simba in heaven. Until we can once again all be together you will be forever in our hearts. Love you Mom  Bobbie Gorman

Alex was our child and will be missed forever.
Love, Mom & Dad

Alex was the best little friend ever. He went through the hardest times of my life. Divorce, children growing up and moving away....he was my constant source of love....and always ready for a hug and kiss.
You are so missed my friend.

Tonya & Bob Demirjian

To our Sweet baby, Alex,
The only explanation for your leaving us right now is that you died of a broken heart 5 days after losing one of your cagemates, Jenny. We loved you so much Alex, more than many would ever understand. You will never be 'just a guinea pig' to us. The cage looks so empty without you and Jenny. Belle, Abby and Lizzie are doing well but I think they wonder where you are. We will all miss you so much. You will be remembered in our hearts forever. See you at the bridge.
Love,
Sandra, Denis, Ryan and Jaime

Alex was a special dog. I cannot express what she means to me...words are ineffective. She was like a child, only better. No back talk, or desertion. She loved me, and looked to me to watch over her, which I did for 6 years. Cancer took her, although we tried all forms of chemotherapy. I stayed with her every minute I could, including her last 36 hours. I love her so, and my heart has a huge hole which cannot be filled. I will think of her every day and be thankful for what we had together. I also have a human child, so I'm not one of the people who "don't have any children". (haven't we all heard that before?) Our dogs are living beings brought into our families willingly, just like our human children, and deserve the love and care we can give them. No less a responsibility than ANY living being in our care. Wherever you are out there Alex, please know Mommie loves her baby girl.

Ellen Schafer

Thank you Alex for spending 15 years of your life with me. We've shared so much and you were such a good companion and friend. I know you'll come back to me but until you do I miss you so very much. I love you!

Chris Carbone

Keep looking for the "big birds"

Christine

Alex, your were the King. The most loveable, and good natured dog who loved everyone and everything he met. He was a good "sno-go" driver when he got tired of running.

We miss you and love you with all our heart.

your mom and dad

Mary Anne and Dan

He was a great dog and loving friend. His family and his companion dog, Herbie miss him very much.

Mike and Peggy Kearns

You will always have a special place in my heart. Our time was cut to short and your death was very sudden. I will miss you little boy.

Lisa

In loving memory of our beautiful large fuzzy face who gave us 5 years of love and purring. She was a very loving girl to our family, but disliked any strangers who thought they could come to the house and try to make friends with her. She was a very good friend to the dogs. When Fufer was sick she sat with him daily and purred for him, so we believe that now she has gone to the rainbow ridge where Fufer has been for nearly two years, that she is being looked after and protected by him. We know that her pain is now over and we are very sorry that she was unable to have a longer healthier life. We all miss her. Renae wants to know if "Heaven is a good place"....and we hope so.
Love you and miss you Alfie xxoxoxo Mom, Dad, Polie, Nikki, Missy, Snookie, Shannon, Rob, Harley, Lexus, Stacey, Dean, Renae, Silken, Taz and Sabre xoxoxoxoxo

We miss you Pupperdog!! Go nite-nite. We love you.

My precious Alfie..... You followed mommy across the street to visit neighbors and got afraid and tried to get back across..... I will always love you little alfie.... You were such a good little kitty cat... God bless your soul and mommy will come pick you up at the rainbow bridge and we will be together forever....... Love your mommy

A very brave, trusting and special creature

Paula

Ali went to Rainbow Bridge at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday August 15, 2001. My husband and I were there, holding her and kissing her. She was declining from kidney failure and had reached the point where we knew we had to send her to the Bridge. It was so hard, but peaceful and painless for our little Ali. We had a compassionate, feeling doctor who helped us thru this experience. Now she is with her "Uncle Boots" who went to Rainbow Bridge at the age of 17, 10 years ago. Ali was just 10, too young to go, but I hope she is happy with Boots and all our loved friends who are no longer suffering. She will be missed by my husband, myself and her adopted brother B.J., who cries for her every night.

Lana

The sweetest little tortie in the world left me today. How could such a tiny little cat leave such a gaping hole in my heart? After 19 years with you, you'd think I'd be prepared for this day -- but I'm not. I miss you like hell.

"Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell." -- Edna St. Vincent Milay

Rich Hurley

Dear Alice,
I miss you so very much. You were such a faithful companion and friend and I hope that I made your life pleasant and easy for you, just as you did mine. My heart is empty and I long to cuddle you close. I know your body was tired and that it was time for you to move on but trust that the separation will only be physical. You will be in my heart always. I love you sweet baby....may God's love protect and keep you until we meet again.
Love,
Mommy Lissa & Daddy Chris

On May 14, 2001, I had to have my favorite furbaby, Alistaire, put to sleep after a 2-week illness. He was my very special boy, and there will never be another like him. He was loving, happy, intelligent, and sweet, and there is an Al-shaped hole in my heart now. Thank you for sharing my life, Alistaire. Wait beyond the Rainbow Bridge for me. I love you so much, big boo.

You touched our lives in that special way that will forever make us smile. We loved you very fondly and always will!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful (although too short) lives with us.

Jennifer Emerson

Allie Bird,
I was lucky enough to rescue you from the terrible conditions you were born into. Unfortunately it was a little to late for you and your brother Ollie, your legs were already splayed. The Vet said we should not bring you home because you would only live for a couple of weeks and have a miserable life, and it would be allot of work for Mommy and Me. That didn't matter we gave you a nice clean home, good food, and plenty of love. You also had 13 other brother and sisters to chirp & sing with. I know you know that we did everything possible for you, even on the morning you left us mommy would not let you go alone. She held and loved you until you flew to the Heavens Gate. You are now perching and soaring like never before with no pain or restrictions. You are a beautiful bird and we love and miss you. Until we meet again, God Bless.
Love,
Daddy, Mommy and all you Sisters and Brothers.

Allie,
My life partner and soul sister, do you know how much I miss you? A light has gone out in the world and my heart is heavy- but my spirit rejoices because you are free of the limits of your form. Though I cry in grief, I know that you are basking in limitless love right now. Thank you for all that you've been to me for these fourteen years. You have truly taught me the meaning of love. I know that when I sleep I'll still hear your comforting purr and cute little noises. Wherever I go, I know you'll be with me in spirit and know that while it might look like I have left you- I have not. True love reaches across the veil of form and time. I will always love you and always be with you in whatever form you take. You have taught me to love completely and freely with your accepting example. Goodbye for now my little babushka. We'll dance again.
Love always, Nikki

We Will Miss Allie Very Much. She Was A Very Special Cat.
What We Will Miss Most About Her: Bringing Us Her Cat Toy Balls To Throw For Her To Fetch & Bring Back For Us To Throw Again & Again..What She Died Of?..We Don't Know Yet, But Will Find Out.
We Love You Allie, Tell Kate (Our Dog That Died On April 27,2001) We Say Hello & That We Miss Her.
With Love,

Allie, please always remember that I loved you with all my heart and always will. You were my best friend. Letting you go was the hardest thing I have ever done. But you are in a better place now, and we will be together again someday and no one will ever separate us again. Enjoy your new life with all the others that have gone before you. You are a very special little dog, and I miss you terribly.
Love, Alliedogsmom

Too soon sweetheart. We miss you.

Alphie, We love you and will remember you always. I hope heaven has lots of trees for you to sniff. Please know that you will always be loved and never forgotten.

My sweet Mandy, I gave you to God to stop any suffering, except my own. From the time you were two weeks of age and I bottle-nursed you, you were my baby. My lovely lady, being carried in an arm sling next to my heart so you would feel secure. You grew with such love around you and showed a constant commitment and dedication to your family. Even when you lost your teeth, what a trooper! Didn't slow you down one bit. You were so kind, so gentle, so patient with Missy. Your tiny tail always moving in welcome and appreciation for the little things.

I can't help but feel I should have done more. I feel like I have failed you. I just didn't want to put you through more medicine, x-rays, CAT scans. I was the weak one, not you. I wanted you to see heaven clearly, not with eyes clouded in pain. And you had to pee on me one last time, didn't you? The technician was so kind, warning me you had let go and was so amused when I told him you had peed on me your whole life, this was just your last "gotcha!"

I couldn't sleep well without you. I love you so much and I know you will be close to me always. Tell Petie hello for us, and we will be together soon.

Now, go chase those cats, girl!

Connie Anast and Family

My very special little fur person who wanted nothing, but gave her all. My very pretty little cat was truly the definition of true love. I do and I will always miss her terribly. Patty Vedone

Amber, kitten, forever wild and free, beloved by her mother and brothers and all who saw her. Darling, you would have lived in the house, but FIP got to you first, before I could even touch you.
Princess's best, all your littermates and elder siblings were grieved.

Please be nice to Bagheera when he follows--he's a big, old tom, but he means no harm.

Lisa Chabot

My baby girl, who I miss so much. You will always have a big place in my heart. I cherish the memories I hold of you. I remember the times when we looked into each others eyes and loved. I know you are now safe and happy and I await the day when we will meet and cuddle again. I love you so much my baby girl. I think of you every day. We will one day cross the rainbow bridge together. I love you xxxxxx

Happy birthday to my dear sweet little Amber who would have been twelve years old today. You lifted me up always no matter how sick or depressed I was. I still miss you terribly and hope I will see you in spirit again someday.

W Who

Amber was my best friend she was almost human everyone thought. She would follow me everywhere. She even knew her sister Storm was sick. She cleaned her and even layed by her side everyday when I gave her insulin. Amber stayed by her side the day Storm passed away... Amber would wake me up everyday.. Wait for me by the window when I was coming home from and even greeted family and friend's when they visited. Everyone always brought her little gift's if she were a child... When Amber passed away this past march it was a devastating loss. I will always love you Amber I am sure you are happy that you finally are with Storm. Until we meet again my friend. Take care .. Love Peg

Such a brief time with us Amberbag, so soon to join Ossie and Ming. I hope there are no fences to close you in and no cars to hurt you. Stay safe with Ming and Oscar - you all have my love.

Jude

Our Most Precious Amber,

You'll never know how much joy, love and goodness you brought into our lives for 13 years. Part of us is already with you at the Rainbow Bridge. Please watch over us in that beautiful Sheltie way of yours. Thank you for your exuberant barking, running, jumping, joy, wonder, humor and endless energy. Always enjoying the miracle of the day! Remember, most precious one, that love never dies and you are never very far from us.

Run free forever.

Your most loving parents,
Larry and Tirzah

Amber died today and it has come as a huge shock. She started with a small brown mark on her nose on Saturday and our vet was not too concerned when he saw her on Monday morning. By this morning, the spot had become a large cancerous tumour and Amber was allowed to go to the Rainbow Bridge whilst undergoing a biopsy. I could have had her brought round so we could say goodbye and then have her put to sleep tomorrow, but this would have caused Amber to suffer and I couldn't bear that.

Amber came to live with us when she was 8 years old. There hasn't been one moment since then when we haven't loved her and her funny ways. She will be loved and missed forever.

Amber - wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge.

Night night Bzzydoodle. Love from Mummy & Daddy and all the boys and girls xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To our dear and special friend whose love was never ending.

Neil & Andrea

I love you more than I can ever express. I'll treasure my memories of you forever. You were my first dog and have been by my side since I was 6 years old. I always knew that this day would come but it isn't possible to prepare yourself for it. I would give anything to be able to see you again. Goodbye for now, beloved Amber.

Just wanted to say good bye and thank you for your years of faithfullness and companionship, and being there through the trials of my life being confined to a wheelchair, you will be surely missed friend and I know you are home in peace.

Kevin Paronto

We miss Amber so much as her passing was a terrible shock.

Tilley Family

Amber was very, very special to me. She was my best friend who always gave me unconditional love. For 15 years she was my shadow, always following me from room to room. She was always there at the door when I'd come home from work, always sleeping at the foot of my bed. When I was alone, she was all I had to hug and tell my troubles to. She'd sit and listen, and lick my face, or give me her paw. It was so hard to watch her get sick and slowly fade away. Today I helped her go to the Rainbow Bridge. I miss her so much already. And I wonder if she's looking for me as well. I love you Amber and I will always keep you in a very special place in my heart. Until we meet again. Good-bye my baby.

Nancy Brown

Amber was a loyal and loving dog who was a special companion to her owners. She brightened their lives, and they will miss her very much.

Gary and Sharon

A Poem for our sweet "Amen" who was so young and died mysteriously;

FOUR HUNDRED DAYS

We cried out our prayers,
Though to whom or what
We cannot remember.
As prayers should do, they should have done.
Our every anguished word was a prayer.
But like you, they all went mysteriously away,
Sadly away,
Our eyes and hearts left empty
Of any heeding justice.
We asked and ask Why-
And never any answer back but grief.

You were ours, Amen, for four hundred days-
Friend, buddy, pet, loving and lovely cat-
And we were yours.
We kissed you- and kiss you- everyday,
Pressing our faces gently in your snow-white fur,
Caressing your head, your neck,
Your back, withered just enough by troubled birth
To make you special.
You were to be the last of five, thus your name.
But you were the first to leave,
and we are left with those four hundred days.
They are gifts we open and reopen,
Carefully and tenderly,
As all things so precious must be handled.
We speak of them and our voices catch-
We touch them with fingers longingly reaching-
We try and cannot hold them close enough
To hide our weeping.
They are your days,
And we thank you, Dear Friend, for everyone.

In Loving memory of Amen - December 17,2000

Bruce & Sharon Kettelle

To my dear Tim.
I know, we will meet again. In the rainbow bridge. Until than I will keep you in my mind and I will see you in my dreams. You will always be my best friend and companion. I will miss you every single day and you will live in my heart and in my mind forever.
Forever yours,
Sandra

Amos, loving friend...i will miss scratching your belly and your laying on my lap while we watched TV.

Holme's life was short, spoiled (sometimes I think he worried about his pillows not being fluffed) and full of fun, one night he decided he would try to catch a car, he did. But because only humans ate from the wrong tree all animals shall not be judged and I thank god for that because I have peace that my loved ones are safe in heaven.

Maggie Parker

Amy, I am going to miss you so much. You were the best friend I could have ever had. I love you so much and I will remember you forever.

Love always
Matt

To Anais,
My most loving and faithful friend. Letting you go has been the hardest decision I ever had to make. I hope that you are now happy and pain free running through the hills of heaven. Most of all, I am longing for the day we will be reunited and this time forever.
I love you so much and will always keep a special place in my heart for you. God bless you.
Christine

If ever again I have the pleasure of adopting such a warm, loving creature as my Anastasia I will consider myself the luckiest person in the world. I'm sorry that you couldn't stay and play baby doll, Pandora and I...we miss you soo much that we are heartbroken. You will always have a special place in our hearts and in our memories. I have always loved you and will always love you...
Heaven is lucky to have you...
I hope your catching butterflys baby...

Ruby

Ande - You were my very best friend. Little did I know that when I took you to the vet last Monday that you only had 3 days left to live. The thing I can't stop thinking about is that I wasn't there for you when you died suddenly. I hope its true that your spirit is out there cause I would know then that you would know how much I miss you and how bad I feel that I wasn't there holding you when you died. That's the thing I just can't seem to get past. The doctor said you had cried all morning right before you died and I can't help thinking you were crying for me as I was crying for you. I love you my beautiful little boy. Thank you for being such a special part of my life and for showing me constantly in your own unique little way how much you loved me. I pray every night that this heavy heart of mine will join with yours again one day. I love you my sweet baby boy. Mommy

Andi was only a few days old when I picked her from the litter. She had been mine ever since. She was a loyal friend, protector, confidante, and camping companion. In fact, she was the best camping dog on Earth. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. Especially me.

Barbra Black

Andie was a rescued momdog from a puppy mill. When she came to me, I promised I would try to make up for all the hell she went through for her 8 years. What I didn't know was I had less than three months. She died suddenly of hemalytic anemia and kidney failure at my vet's, and I wasn't there to say goodbye. That's all I regret. Andie left a beagle-sized hole in my heart, and I hope to see her again one day. For this little beaglegrrl and all the other animals suffering in puppy mills, please do not buy dogs or cats at pet stores. I put flowers on her grave every day and light a candle for Andie and all of those poor creatures.

MJ Isles

Andre' our great white pyranee. He became so sick and was in such pain over this past weekend that we had to put him to sleep on Saturday, December 29th. Unfortunately, we don't know how old he was because we adopted him from a Pyranees rescue and they'd gotten him from a shelter in New Hampshire when he'd been picked up after being beaten and abandoned. The vet estimated him at somewhere around 7-9 years old. He was just the greatest, a true love and we'll miss him terribly.

Danice

Andre,
You were the best friend anybody could ever ask for. You were there for us no matter what. You loved us unconditionally. You are still missed very much. I still can't believe that you are gone. When we had to put you to sleep, it was the worst day of our lives, but you were suffering so bad we couldn't stand to see you like that. We did that out of our love for you. We hope you are having lots of fun up there at the bridge. Please wait for us. We will never forget you. You are one in a million my pumpkin pie.
Love,
Your mommy (Julie) and your Unh-Unh (Ann)

We love you, Little Boy Dog.

Carolyn and Dewey

Came into my life when I was a graduate student. Droid shared the good times and the bad, and was always a great friend.
He was "the best cat in the world". He was 15 years young, and left too soon. He joined his gentle friend Kermit in the great unknowable mystery the day after Christmas.

in time of daffodils
by e.e. cummings

in time of daffodils (who know
the goal of living is to grow)
forgetting why, remembering how

in time of lilacs who proclaim
the aim of waking is to dream,
remember so (forgetting seem)

in time of roses (who amaze
our now and here with paradise)
forgetting if, remember yes

in time of all sweet things beyond
whatever mind may comprehend,
remember seek (forgetting find)
and in a mystery to be
(when time from time shall set us free)
forgetting me, remember me

Sleep in peace my friends...I hope to see you again someday.

Mark Herzing

Hello, my little Andy-Boy! How are you doing?

I miss you so very much, my little guy. You were so much a part of my life for nearly two decades, from the time that I was not much past 30, until now, when I'm nearly 50, and from the time when you were only six weeks old, until you were almost 18. We had a lot of great times together, didn't we? I guess because I had no wife or children for practically all of that time, you came to be my family. We sure lived a lot of places together, didn't we? And shared a lot of good times, and bad. I will always love you and think about you.

Jan had come to love you as much as I did, you little rascal! She was willing to take care of you for as long as you could have stayed with us, no matter how sick you were, do you know that? But we both knew in our hearts that your time to leave us had come.

I want you to know that putting you to sleep for the final time on July 4 was the roughest decision I ever had to make in my life. I know that you were suffering so badly and that it was the only real choice that I had, but that still doesn't make the hurt any easier for me.

When I held your little curled up baby body in my arms for the last time, and looked into your little eyes, I knew that when you went away, you would be taking so much of my own life away with you, forever.

Well, now your pain is ended. How do you like it there at Rainbow Bridge? Is Pepper there with you? Is Shine? Are there people there with you? Have you met Dad? Ricky and Dodger miss you too!

I want you to run and jump and chase your little tail just like you used to do when you were a pup! (Remember how you used to run in circles in the back yard until you were exhausted and fell down? What a silly sight you were! : - ) But don't forget about me, my old friend. One day, when God wills it, we'll be together again, and this time for ever! Until then, I want you to always look to earth and think of me; as I will always look to heaven, and think of you.

Love always,
Your loving daddy,
Jim

Aneka passed away on Valentine's Day. She was approximately 13 years old. This has left her family heartbroken. She was very special to them and was very much loved and a part of their family. She will be missed but not ever forgotten. She is free and no longer in pain. Rest in peace Aneka. May your soul run free in Rainbow Bridge and may you all be united when the time comes. A candle will be lit in her memory.

Debbie

My dearest Angel, we will never forget you. You always helped me in my times of need always knew what I needed or just to sit or stand by me through thick and thin. We will miss you.

Love, LeAnne, Steve, Leia, Stimpy, Bill & Berta

Angel, you made it to 20! What a long live you had.
Even when you went blind and your body hurt with every move, you still wanted to be loved. You always made it all the way downstairs to your litterbox. You were such a good girl.
We still miss and love you.

Sandy & Kevin

It has not been that long since you left to rainbow bridge. Everyday is hard, but I know you are up there happy and free! Know that mommy and daddy love you each and everyday, and know that one day you will meet us and we will play. Don't be sad, and don't be scared! Look upon us. We love you with all our hearts....love mommy and daddy

I will never forget how much you were part of my life and will never stop missing you angel my little baby boy.

Theresa Pallone

Angel Angel, I miss you so,
I don't know why you had to go.
You crossed the bridge while you were young,
Please watch for me, until I come.

Mary A Stewart

Thank you Angel for sending me my new little girl. Only you could have picked her out for me. I named her after you so I'll never forget. You came to me in need. Now you sent a little one when I needed her. I feel like your spirit is here in her. She sleeps in your spot, plays your games, and looks at me with your old soul eyes. I promise to treat her with all the love you gave me.

Dear Angel,
You are so very special to me..I will always remember you I am thinking of you every day, mommy had a appointment for you go to the doctor the very next day after you went to play in the big fields of flowers, mommy cries everyday wishing you were still here with me, you brought me so much happiness, you will always be in my heart..your going away was so unexpected, the day I took you to the doctor the outlook seemed good, he told mommy you had a 50-50% chance I believed him, I gave you your medicine and then about 45 minutes later you were gone..I wish you were here with me, you liked picture time(when momma took your pictures)you are always going to be in my heart my little Angel..I love you always,
Your mommy

My dear little Angel- Today you passed so soon so unexpectedly. Your passing was a surprise and one hard to deal with. You weren't even 2- so precious so small. Your name fit you well my "little" angel. I love you my sweet little puppy- I miss you kisses and I miss you little face that used to greet me every day. I will never forget you- for now you are the "angel" in my sky. I can never know your pain and you will never know mine. But- I will never forget the last time I held you- God be with you my sweet little angel. I miss you- I love you!!!

Pina and David Lobraco

Angel was a sweet very small cat. We got her in a shelter, took her home and two days later found out she had pneumonia. A month later she came home and never had another sick day in her life till a week ago. The only thing wrong in her little body, that was her kidneys. We had 18 1/2 wonderful years with her. She loved everyone, but the Vet.

Mother of Leo, who we lost 6 years ago at the age of 10 to cancer. These were the only two children we ever had in our 21 year marriage. They are both missed very much. Our grief is great. We love you Angel and Leo.

Darla and Doyle Calvert

To my beautiful big girl. You are dearly missed by your whole family. I hope you are being a good girl!!! You brought so much happiness into our lives. Waldo misses you very much. He wants someone to bite his ankles. Be very good, and I promised you before, and now again that we will be a family soon. Our chain will link again. Look upon us ever once in a awhile. I miss playing hide & seek with you especially. Wilma is enjoying you're squeaky toy that you left behind. Love&kisses...Mommy, daddy, grandma, grandpa, Waldo & Wilma. We love you Angel.

Angel,
You are my best friend. We've been through everything together. I had so much hope that you would have gotten better and it was more than your body could handle. I miss you terribly and wish you were still here with me. I know that one day you and I will be reunited again, until then my dear friend I will hold you in my heart. Please forgive me for putting you to sleep. I didn't want you to suffer. I love you.

Timi Glaser

Angel came in to our lives Christmas Eve. she is truely an Angel. Wait for us on the bridge we will come to you. We love you and will see you again.

Nancy Poovey

Angel was a very special girl that was brought into our lives and created so much love. She made us smile and cry. She will always be remembered and loved in our hearts. She touched us in so many ways.
Angel, be brave, and be a good girl. I promise you that we all will be together soon and be a family once again. Remember that we will always love you. Xoxoxox
Love your mommy & daddy

We only had our beautiful golden ANGEL for a short time but we treasured every minute she spent with us. She was always full of fun. She was the kind of dog who was 'game for a laugh' and would happily participate in any fun or games in our house, even to the point of letting us dress her up - wearing jewelry and sunglasses! What a girl - we shall never see her likes again. Her loyalty, trust and gentle temperament were what every pet owner wants from their dog. We were so lucky - IN OUR ANGEL WE HAD ALL THESE AND MORE.
She has gone from our home but never our hearts. We will never forget our wonderful girl ANGEL. From her broken hearted owner, Big G and all the family.

Liza Steen

Your in my thoughts everyday. Until we met again my friend, my girl, my squishy face. I LOVE YOU ANGEL !!

Jill Zeller

To our Angel:

Although you were with us only a few short days, we loved you and miss you very much. I don’t know where you came from, but whoever dumped you off in the rain was not worthy of you. We tried as hard as we could to make you well, but the sickness that wracked your little body finally won. I only wish I could have known you when you were healthy, so I could have felt you rub on my legs, and watched you play. Making the decision to help you to the Bridge was one of the hardest I’ve ever had to make, but I know you were ready to go. Please know that your life and death were not in vain; your spirit will be here with us always. Please feel the love we continue to send your way. Wait for me with my other babies at the bridge, and we will all be together again when the time is right.

Amy Maher

Only had you one day not even 24 hours but miss you.
Love Mom & Dad Lots of Purrs till we meet again

To our special Angel -- who now has become our Guardian Angel. Please continue to protect us and love us. We will love you always and miss you daily.

Our precious Angel was such a loving companion and best friend. She was always there during the hard times in my life, letting me know I could depend on her unconditional love. We miss her so very much. She has left behind her best buddy (Linus), whom she thought was her baby. We thank God we have him, for we will always feel she is still "present". Words can't explain the pain in our hearts, but for Angel, we will continue on and love her "baby" as we loved her. "Farewell, Masters, yet not farewell,
Where I go, ye, too, shall dwell.
I am gone, before your faces,
A moment's time, a little space.
When ye come where I have stepped,
Ye will wonder why ye wept"
We love and miss you Angel,
Daddy, Mommy, and Linus

Our Precious Angel you have left us with such an emptiness in our life, but we know you've crossed the Rainbow Bridge and are no longer in pain. Linus is so lost without you, but we'll love him just as much as we loved you, for we know that's what you'd want us to do. We miss your cuddly unconditional love and your strange sounds when someone gave you some lovin' Thank you Angel for giving us 11 wonderful years of LOVE. Until the day we cross the Bridge and meet you, Daddy, Mommy, and Linus love and miss you so very much.

Jim and Pam McCollister

To Angel, one of the lights of my life. I'm sorry and I miss you so much now. May you be at peace. My Angel baby, I love you.

Buffy Moravetz

Angel was a bouncy and very effervescent mutt who had our hearts for the past 10 years. Her absence leaves a huge void. Angel wandered into my life as a stray when she was 3 months old. We bonded immediately and I spoiled her rotten with enthusiasm. She was the only child of a single parent and enjoyed my undivided attention. When my husband came into our lives, she had to learn some new habits and it was not an easy transition for her. However; she won the heart of my husband who wasn't quite sure of her. In fact, she won the hearts of everyone who spent any amount of time with her. She provided constant, devoted companionship. She enriched our lives more than we can ever say. We will always love her and will never forget her.
Angel, we miss you and will see you on the other side. Thank you for filling our lives with unconditional love for the past 10 years. You were loved more than you'll every know.

Angel, you were so precious to us. Thank you for giving us so much love and laughs through the years. I miss you purring loudly in the night, meowing for me to go to bed , and following me around like "Mary's little lamb". We love you and will cherish the memories.
Love,
"Cat Mama", "Cat Papa", and your step sister cats SilverBelle, and Cootie

(We adopted Angel when she was 8 years old. Her elderly owner had died of cancer and she needed a home desperately.)

Sarah Yelton

My Angel! You came to me when I needed unconditional love and sweet company. You gave me energy and returned playfulness to my life. You will always be Daddy's "Pound Puppy" and my "Sweet Angel Girl!"

Debra

Our special girl,(Angel)you are so missed. We LOVE you

Paul, Debbie, Paulie, Ashton

These puppies had it very rough from the start. They were Dumped at the city pound and left to be put down. I went to the pound on Sunday and rescued them; being that I foster animals for Grant County animal Protection Society. But I got there too late. They had already been in contact with the deadly virus that would soon take there souls to heaven. We took Them home , bathed , gave them shots and loved and played with these two pups. They went to sleep thinking they were loved. By morning these two babies were going down hill. The parvo virus had hit hard on there little bodies. By the next night they had passed on to a better place. These were unwonted abandoned pups left to die. They had no love of real feeling of belonging. But I bless God every day that he gave me those few days to give them what they deserved. Unconditional Love.

Glenda Jackson

Dear dear Angelina Ballerina,

Such a short life you had, but how loved you were. I will always remember my tiny baby rattie who was frightened to death, and with lots of tender love and care, bloomed to be the most sociable of all (though forever tiny). Every time I hear Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," I will cry thinking of you.

Now she's in me,
Always will be,
Tiny dancer in my hand.....

See you soon and love you,

Sue (and Dan, Josh, Amos, Riley, Joe, Nick, Molly, Piglet and Frances)

To a very special courageous angel heart. Although you were only around us for a short time our hearts for you were bigger than the universe. You no longer have to suffer the evil hands of man. You are with God in a very Special place for sweet little girls like you. We miss you so much Noir, you will always remain in our hearts. We love you!!

Robin & Larry Johnson

Angie came to our house after someone had dumped her on our country road. She was terrified of humans and it took her 6 months to trust enough to let us pet her. She became a very special part of our family and would have protected us with her life. Someone speeding down our country road ran over her and broke her back. The vet said she could never recover so she had to be put to sleep. I held her beautiful head in my hands and kissed her while she slipped away...............I will never be the same again as she took a big part of my heart with her. Angie will never be forgotten.

Connie

For my beloved friend, Angus, who brought so much happiness into everyone's life. I will never forget you. You will always be with us.

Eleanor Banacowski

I miss you so much, my pretty little baby bird, it's more than 2 years ago now since you left. It's still difficult to think that you are gone, I miss your kisses & baby-bird smell, your sweet, kind nature, your birdy-kisses and your friendship. I love you just as much as ever even although you're not here with me, you will always be alive in my heart, and I'll always send you birdy kisses in my dreams. You're never far away, my little sweetheart, because you're in my thoughts always. Thank you for choosing me.

Anna was diagnosed with FIV three weeks ago. She has not improved and her quality of life is very poor - persistent fever, weight loss, diarrhea, no appetite, lethargic, etc. She no longer purrs or enjoys the things she used to. My husband and I have made the decision to have her euthanized tomorrow evening, Friday, May 18, 2001. She was our "little girl" born in our dining room, and spent her entire life in our home. She would have been 1 year on May 27. It is the most difficult decision we have ever had to make, and we cannot bear to let her go, but we also can no longer bear to watch her suffer for our own selfishness. She will always be "our little girl." Anna Burkholder, May 2000-May 2001.

Pamela Burkholder

We will never stop loving you P.D., Nana, Gran and Matisse

Please pray for my Golden Angel. Give her a field of milk bones to eat and an ocean of spring water to drink. Let her old crippled legs be young again. Keep her warm and happy until we can be together again.

Kathy Donzelli

I gave Anna Maria my favorite name. No one else will ever have it. Anna Maria was such a sweet, giving, protective dog. She always gave 110% and tried her best. HaShem will love you and honor you, Annie. We will never forget you. We will love you and feel your presence always. Thank you for taking care of us all these years. Let HaShem take care of you now. Go in peace and joy, Puffy Doodle.

Your forever family,

Sam, Stacey, Lianna, Yasmin, & Huck

What a wonderful dog she was. She is greatly missed.

Denise Haws

To our precious Anni. It's been almost three months now. We miss you so much. You're always in our hearts and often on our minds, as we tell each other what you would be doing now as different things are going on. We have so many wonderful memories of you. Thank you for that. We love you.

Cheryl & Bob Lehl

Our Little Annie,
You were such a small kitten and I picked you because I felt in my heart that you needed me. I took you home and the entire family fell in love with you. You were the cutest little kitten, even when you were sick. We loved you unconditionally. We tried the do everything for you and wished that we could have done more. I hope that the few months you were with us you felt loved and cared for. I still look for you. You will forever be "Little Miss".

Jane Hammen

Annie, we miss you terribly. Louie and I will always love you.

C. Katz

Annie was a very special girl. We adopted her when she retired from the show ring at age 4. At first she was very shy and quite. She had to learn to be just a dog. But soon she was running, playing and barking - always making us laugh. She had us wrapped around her little paw.
Her eyesight and hearing were failing - but not her nose. If you tried to have a goodie without her, she was right there! She didn't beg - she just looked at you until you shared.
For the past few months she had been having small seizers if she got to excited - so we did our best to keep her calm. But she still loved to lay and look out the front door - growling at the kids next door as they ran by calling her name.
Our darling Annie died yesterday (8/29/01)morning at about 7AM.

I had taken her for her morning walk and we were doing fine.
We were on the way back and a big trash truck went by blowing it's horn which scared her and she wanted to run. I held her back from running and picked her up for a minute. I put her down and she walked along Ok for just a bit then started staggering a little and fell over in one of her "fits". I picked her up and carried her home. I put her on the couch, petting and talking to her to settle her down. I sat back in the chair to let her rest. I looked over and she was gone.

It was all over in a matter of 5 to 10 minutes so she didn't suffer.

She was a wonderful girl and we'll miss her very much.

Kathy & Mike Davis

Dear Annie

I miss you so. I still feel your fur when I kissed you good bye. Please wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge when the time is right. I bring the dog bones you bring the kisses.

Love always
Mom

Our Annie passed away this morning after 9 years of battling feline leukemia. She was a very special kitty with her petite form and prissy ways. She is sadly missed by us and her other pet friends she has left behind.

Howard & Patty Bennett

"Annie" was my best friend, companion, listener, and playmate for 13 years. I am trying to get through my loss with friends and family, but I know this is going to be a very long process. I know she will be waiting for me at the "Rainbow Bridge" I loved her with all my heart.

June Beconcini, "Annie's devoted companion

Annie came to us at 8 weeks of age from a puppy breeder that should never been allowed to own a dog. She was a very sick little puppy and took several weeks to get her well. From the time she started improving until we lost her she was a healthy happy loving dog that stayed in what we called the late puppy stage. She was always a friendly loving dog that never met a stranger and loved everyone. She will be so sadly missed and there will always be a void left in our lives that may get smaller but will never be filled. We don't know when we will get to the bridge but she will be there waiting for us with a stubby tail that is going as fast as it can move. Baby girl we miss you and look forward to seeing you at the bridge.
Dad and Mom

I miss you so much Annie. I thank you for being a part of my life and being with me through the hard times. Though we are not physically together we are in each other's heart. The love we have for each other will never die. We will be together again soon. You are now with Blue where you both can play together again.

I Love You and Will Never Forget You,
Chris

Annie was my gift. Pure joy with endless love to give.
I will never know another like her.
She was my heart and I will miss her forever!

Tammy

My dear Miss Annie, how I'm going to miss you following me from room to room as we shared our days. This spring I will miss you laying in the garden as I plant, always keeping me company wherever I went.

You are so loved and will be so missed. I can't wait until the day when we all will see you again baby girl.

You lived a good life - 13 years - and were such a wonderful part of our family. I hope wherever you are you have a huge supply of your favorite Beggin Strips.

Love,
Mom, Dad, Jen, Bud, Lori, Becky and Jillian

She traveled many miles with us in our Motor home . She loved nothing better. She was always ready to go. She loved it best when we took Brandon with us then she could sleep with him under his covers. He was her favorite person then her Mom and Dad, Don And Sandy Grimes

I still can still feel you in my arms that day Nov. 24th. It had to be the saddest day of my life. I hope you are pain free now. Run and chase the birds and squirrels. Run in the sand and chase the waves. We love and miss you very much. Not a minute goes by that I don't miss you. I love you my little Annie girl. Love your MOM and DAD

To my beautiful cat who gave me so much joy over the years. You are now beside the lovely fish pond where my park bench sits and I feel your presence all around me. During those last moments as I place the fairy stone on your collar, know that I wear mine around my neck in memory of you. I know you were tired and wanted to come home with me and I whispered in your ear, it would be so. The family will miss you so much. Even now Buddy and Sheba are looking for you not understanding where you went. The rains poured the past few days as if weeping for you also and today the sun breaks through the clouds because you are now in a far better place than here. I love you, Antonea!

Dearest Anya,
You were our first little bunny and you really were special to us. Even though we didn't give you that attention you wanted, we really loved you! You always wanted to be loved so much and now we 'know' you are getting what you've always wished for. I hope you are taking good care of your little sister Snuggles, and I can't want to see ya'll both again someday!!! You had always had the impression of an angel on your head, but now we know you are happy among them. Everyday I remember how happy you made me and I miss being able to stroke your soft velvet fur. Never again will I meet a bunny that licked me and maybe me so happy! In Heaven, I can't wait to share a pop-tart with you, like we used to every summer. :) Once again, we miss you dearly and we know your happy with God and someday in the future...we will meet again. We would also like to thank you for always putting a smile on our face and being a perfect little angel.

Love always,
Julie (Mommy)
Susan (Aunt Cat)
Bea and Jim

Apache you were more than just our dog, you are my best friend and part of my family. We hope we were worthy of all your unconditional love.

Dolores & Lisa Enriquez

Baby Boy, I am so sorry. I love you and always will.

Grannie

My gentle giant, you were the light in this house. You are missed more than you know. My heart is broken in a million pieces and will not be mended by anything but seeing you again... at the bridge.

Machelle Wells

A tribute to a special, loving dog. He was always

happy and loved attention. Apollo succumbed to complications due to Type 3 Mast Cell Cancer. He loved all the additional attention he received these past ten months. (I have a sneaking suspicion that he would have become ill earlier if he knew he was going to get extra attention.) I am most honored to have known Apollo these past 11 years and I hope I was equal to his magnificence. I will always love him.

G. Kabakoff

Apricot Brandy struggled for over a year with Polycystic Kidney Disease as well as Fibrousarcoma (a form of cancer).

She was the love of my life, my best and only true friend. She will always be dearly missed.

I am glad that she is at peace now and can enjoy lazy days full of sunshine and happiness.

We'll meet again, sweet Apricot. I will long for the day when you will sit again on my lap in the afterworld.

Heather Anderson

April was my best friend and more, I rode and loved and had her for seven years. She was my teacher, best friend and family. She died tragically and fast, getting sick, despite 5 vets working on her she could not make it. She was 5 months pregnant with a baby warmblood foal at the time, it could not be saved either. Later the baby was found out to be a little baby girl, a filly, and her name would have been Valkyrie, Val for short. April would have been the best mother and was more than a pet, to me she was a person. She's remember and loved forever.

Bree Anderson

We received a bunny as a gift after the loss of our dog. We were at a loss as to the ways of handling a bunny. We read a lot, and made some mistakes, but we got it figured out. If the pet store where she was bought was a good one, she would have been put down for some problems she had from birth. It cost a lot of vet bills for us, but that was okay. We have been blessed with April, and have learned more than we can say from her. We expect to see her at the Rainbow Bridge when we get there. For some time, tears for our loss will be plenty!!

Frank & Jeannie

The bravest, dearest soul.

Joanie Coffen

We love you, angel kitty.

Christine Lowe & Mary Bloemker

She was my best friend, I had no friends except her, she was my whole world & now she's gone. A big part of my heart went with her, I loved her so much. For a man being alone most of the time, she was my everything. I don't know what I'm gonna do without her, but I know she's in Heaven & we'll meet again someday. My sorrow grows heavy on my heart. April, I'll always love you & miss you. Saying good-bye is the hardest thing I ever had to do!

Walt

She was a very special member of our family and will be missed terrbily. She will be in our thoughts always.

Diane Aymar and Brian Applegate and Precious

The many times we have spent together mean so much.

The shows, the trails, the many fun times we have spent with each other, all have a special meaning to me.

Thru good times and bad, you have always been there for me and taken me farther than I have ever wanted to go in life.

You have shown me courage and strength, and have taught me that no matter how difficult the situation is, things have a way of working out.

Blue ribbon after blue ribbon, you have proven yourself as a faithful and honest companion who has loyally served their master.

Although it is difficult for me to do, I must give back to you what you have given to me.

The respect you deserve. After 30 years of service, it is only fair that I do this for you and make you happy.

You will go to a place where the green fields are endless and pain is not known.

You have been my best friend, a mother and a great show horse, and now it is time you get the retirement that you deserve.

You will be missed greatly by all that have known you.

Your fond memories will live on in the hearts of all that had the pleasure of knowing you.

Rest in peace my beloved April.

I love you, Sara

April will be and is missed so much. She was Miss Personality and a joy to have. She was a funny little girl and seemed to enjoy making us laugh. She could talk (a bit, we have heard her say "Go home", "yes", and "No". Not real plain, but enough you knew what she said. She even told on me to my husband. She would look at him then at me and back to him and start barking, her voice would go up and down all the time looking from him to me. He didn't know what she was doing until I explained it and then she would only shut up when he spoke to her. She was a joy. We had so much fun with her and miss her so much. People are always asking when are we going to get another dog ---- not yet, even tho' it's been almost a year now.

Paula Mello

Ares, mommy loves you and misses you. Thank you for the special gift of letting me dream your dream Air Bear...eskimo kisses, lover!

Mommy xoxoxoxoxo

He didn't play much, the only thing he cared for was to sleep and keep warm close to me, now his sister are alone with me. We loved him so much!
We will never forget Argus, he will remain in our memory forever.

Roger

The sweetest, smartest, and most lovable friend who shared everything with us including our bed and who will be missed for a long, long time.

Maureen Gamma

We will wait to meet on Rainbow Bridge.

M. Pipik and G. Hritz

This is a tribute to 2 wonderful pets that have enriched our lives...Arnie, my dog...passed away suddenly from diabetes on April 11/01...He was in my life for 6 years and then stolen from me. He was a very energetic, loving, content and devoted dog..he is missed each and every day. Yesterday on May 21/01, we lost our beloved Kita, an 8 month old female kitty....she died in a horrible and painful way, she had Feline Infectious Peritonitis....she was a very unique individual, loving, devoted(wired for sound!) and her life ended too soon....she would have been a wonderful cat and would have brought us happiness for years to come. All I have to say is that for anyone who owns a pet...just love it and care for it with your whole heart..you won't regret it...to have these two wonderful beings in my life is a blessing and a curse to have them taken so young....I still mourn and hope I will see them in the future. To lose one pet is hard enough, to lose two in less than a month and a half is a nightmare...not only for myself but for their brothers(Toby and Zeus..cats) they miss both terribly....animals are innocent and we must always remember that.

Angela Schulze

When you were little you were fragile and so sweet and innocent,
as you got bigger you snuck around untieing shoelaces.
When you came to be my dog you turned from a complete hellion into a perfect angel.
You knew that if you stayed by me no one would try to punish you for being bad.
As you aged and our bond grew stronger you stayed by my side not for protection,
but because love drew you there.
You soon could do any thing I asked and no one could stop you from pleasing me.
You pulled a sled with kids in it that more then doubled your weight,
only because you were trying to stay by my side.
Then you got sick,
on the way to the vets you layed there with your head on my lap,
you were comfortable there.
You hated your medicine but you had to have it. It was supposed to help.
When I force fed you you excepted it strictly because I asked you to.
But I asked you to get better and you didn't.
That was the only thing you didn't do that I asked you and that shocked me more then your death.
As you slipped away you became so small and fragile again.
The light in your eyes slowly and painfully burned out.
Then you were gone,
three years is so short.
It's been nine long hard months and I still ache for you,
I still sometimes expect to wake up from this nightmare and find you there
waiting for me but your not.
But I'll see you again someday,
faraway but yet not soon enough.
Till then I will still ache for you,
and some nights I will still cry myself to sleep.
But you will be there in my dreams waiting for me,
like you use to before you died.

Amanda Blackburn

My darlin Arthur was such a good boy. He never tried to climb over the fence when I left the door open. He was kind and loving and was always there for me. Never complaining, always there. Last night he let me bury my face in his belly for the last time. I'll miss his soft comforting purring. Nothing will ever replace my lil black angel.

To my very best friend, thanks for making my life worth living.

your mommy
sooooozee

My Arthie, my big softie, thank you for all the love and happiness you gave us, no cat will ever compare to you. Like your dad said I will see you again one day. Until then you will remain in my heart and in my memories.

Love you forever, Julie XXX

Sweet Arthur, We miss you terribly. You were our furbaby for over 17 wonderful years. So much love was inside you We miss your warm fur and soft, velvety ears. Our hands ache to hold you again. Our lives are not the same without you. We miss hearing your toenails clicking on the kitchen floor, and the jingling of your collar tags. We miss your happy bark and joyous welcome when we come home. Most of all we miss your gentleness and devoted love. Our spirits ache with grief. Keep watching over your Mommy and Daddy

To my little buddy,
I'm so sorry that I wasn't there when you needed me as much as you were for me. I miss you so much. I know that you and I will meet again and then we won't ever be apart again. I love you!
James

I got Asa when she was 2 1/2 years old. She had been abused and was close to death from starvation when she came in. She came into my life when I needed a friend, and boy, she didn't disappoint. Truthfully, she was the most affectionate dog I've ever seen. She loved to play with her sock while laying on her back with her legs in the air and the sock dangling from her paws. She could dive 8 feet in the air off the dock in NH where I'd take her in the summer. I'll miss her morning hugs when she would press between my legs and want to be petted. I hope that she was happy and that she forgives me for what I had to do. She was very sick with cancer that came on suddenly.
I love you, Asa, may God watch over you.

Joe

Our pretty girl passed away last Monday after a short fight with sugar diabetes. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Ashlei was the sweetest little dog that any family could have ever had. She would fall into your arms so that you could rub her belly and then snore as you would rub. She would give you kisses all day long if you would let her, I just wish for one more kiss. It is very hard on my mom and dad who took care of Ashlei when I brought her home and was to busy to take care of her. Ashlei had a very good life, thanks to my mom and dad. Now that she is gone we are all very sad, but cherish the time that we had with her, Please pray for her soul that she will be in good hands now and will suffer no more. Good bye my little girl we all loved you very much. Rest in peace for there is no more pain.

Kerry Knight

For almost 17 years you were my little black shadow, from the day I spotted you all alone in the pet store the day after Christmas. Your fur like ashes and feeling like silk you ruled our home and helping to raise our Dobies, first Heidi and then MacKenzee. Even after you lost your sight you still could find us in a heartbeat. I will always cherish the last week we spent on vacation with you sleeping by my pillow and purring so loud. It was like you were saying goodby that morning of your stroke, you so valiantly tried to go on for us. We love you and know that Heidi is with you at the rainbow bridge waiting until we can be together. God will watch over you.
Love Mom and Dad

Dear Ashley: its been three years since we lost our Angel and we miss you every day. Your little fund has helped nearly 20 dogs since its inception. We're now a four-dog family and you would have loved our rescued bunch.
Kappy sends her love.

Gail and Amy

My love with this dog started 12 ½ years ago when I first held her as a puppy. On a fluke visit to a pet shop, I picked her up and held her like one would hold a baby and she kissed me on the neck. SOLD!!! For the next third of my life, she waddled beside me as I got married, stayed cautiously away when I brought my newborn babies home and pranced beside me on early morning walks at the beach. She turned to me when she needed help; and when I needed comfort, she was right there for me. We’d take drives in countless cars and as I listened to music, she would slumber. But I would never be lonely on those trips. Not by a longshot.

Last year, when it was time for her to go, I held her like a baby and in all her innocence she looked up and kissed me. My very last kiss from her; just as sweet and precious as her first. She wasn’t letting me go, just allowing us both to move on. It was her time, and somehow strangely, it became her decision. She appeared fine one day and yet so very weak and tired the next. Armed with her guidance, I gained the strength to do what I thought was best for her. My weakest moments are the ones when I agonize over the finality of my decision and beg her forgiveness. My strongest ones are the beloved memories I have of our wonderful life together.

To some, the passing of a dog is simply a passage, but for me, it is the end of a love affair. It is saying a final goodbye to a friend, and worse, letting go to unconditional love forever. How sad it all is. Did I mention that it was the worst day of my life? You see, it’s not like misplacing a Teddy Bear, or friendships that change or even losing a lover. The pain is one I have never known and it’s an emptiness I wish for no one.

The lump in my throat is slowly subsiding and I am holding on tight to the blessing that came to me over 13 years ago and the memory that will stay with me until eternity

Ashley my beloved boy, I miss you dearly. You were with me through so much, and I will always love you.

Jayne Webb

You have been Maureens friend and comforter since she was 10. You saw her through all the hard years of growing up, the happy times, her lonely and unsure moments as she grew into womanhood. No one loved and appreciated you more then that shy little girl that you adored. Who else would let you give birth to your kittens in her bed?

You Survived the big move north, countless family dogs, and your beloved mistress taking you to another new home when she married her Prince Charming.

Time and passages made up your life. You were always the positive in a changing world. Thank you for the joy you gave all of us, especially our Maureenie. Your time with us has ended , now you are with Shadrack, Rufus and Hamlet Arthur. May you always have warm sun to stretch in and tall green grass to run through. We will miss you our Ashes! Your soft little paw prints and happy purr are in our hearts forever.

For Maureen

To Ashley and her daugthers Buffy and Misty who are now playing at rainbow bridge, we miss you and love you and want to wich you a Happy Valentines Day.
You are all in our hearts

Love,
Bruce, Donna, and Blacky

Ashley joined our family in the summer of 97, he was loved, and showed us love in his own rebellious ash kind of way. Ashley loved to run around the front room where someone would often have to go find him exploring adventure behind chairs - but hey that was Ash!

He will be missed and remembered dearly as is Kevin! I know that Ash is just fine with Kevin, his new found friend at rainbow bridge - where they can take care of each other.........shine on bright eyes!

For Liz and Claire!

We sure miss you and all you standed for and we will never ever forget you. you came into our lives as a stray but when you left you took our hearts with you...

John and Sue Wade and Family

My Dearest Ashley, With all my heart I gave my love to you every day of my life. You were my happiness, my inspiration, and my best friend. Know that even you are gone, my love still grows for you, but I am sad that I can not see your beautiful face each and every day. So many people loved you and miss you, especially Tyler - he loved you as much as I did! Each day I will think of you and one day we will be reunited, until that day think of me often and when we see each other again I will never let you go !! Your loving dad.....Brian

Asia: Thank you for being my beloved friend since I was a little girl, helping me deal with life's ups and downs. I created new nicknames for you every other week, it seemed. You woke me when I was late for school, and slept next to me every night, insisting that I let you under the covers... I'll never forget how you held my face in your paws when I cried. I hope life is easier for you now, and you are free from pain. I love you and I thank God for our more than two decades together.

Whitnei Leigh Dewey

Askem was a good bird, he loved to spend time sitting on your shoulder and he always had to have his own bowl of popcorn yours just wasn't good enough for him. He loved to play with the dogs and the dogs loved to play with him. I always got a kick out of how people would fall for the trick of his name. They would ask you what his name is and you would say "askem" so they would look at the bird and say "What's you name" He was the first pet that was all mine and he could always make you smile by tickling the back of you neck. He will always be missed by me. I keep his picture next to my bed. I remember the day that his cage mate died, I was devastated and my parents put askem on trial for murder to cheer me up, of course he was acquitted. I LOVE YOU ASKEM AND MISS YOU SO MUCH.

Cassandra

To Aslan,
Thank you for being there every day to greet me after work. Thank you for standing by me when your brother ran after she found out you both had been in her knitting ( it was just lying there right?) And you stood your ground and yelled right back at her. Thank you for making me smile everyday before I went to work by untying my boots. Thank you for always being there when I needed your almost inaudible purr. And thank you for saying goodbye the way you did, by going on your own terms. Defiant to the last choosing your own way as you always did. See you on the other side old friend. Wish I could have done more for you while you were here. Never change, keep that " I am a Lion and you will do what I want you to" attitude and never forget the compassion you held for all things smaller than you. Your presence will always be missed

Dad

Our sweetie angel Astree, you are now free of pain; your heart has been restored & I am quite sure you are running like the wind, chasing frisbees. Your son, Hamilton, misses you terribly...no longer barking at cats or showing any excitement when going for walks; after all, his mama isn't with him, doing these things, too. Astree, Grandma misses you, too; she misses having you follow her around everywhere she went. Please watch over Hamilton, and the rest of us, for we continue remembering you and missing you. Someday, we will all be together. Oh, and keep Sinbad company, ok? We love you, Vivian, Dalia, Grandma, & John

"I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life And oh just to be with you is giving me the best day of my life."

I miss you, Astro.

Asty came to live with us on Valentine's Day in 1985, a tiny six-week-old tabby kitten who looked up at my 6 foot 4 inch partner and hissed, and rode in my sleeve till he was too big. He was named for Astyanax, the son of Hector and Andromache in the Trojan War. The first Astyanax was killed to prevent him becoming king of Troy, but our Asty did become king -- king of our household, king of his domain, a dignified, benevolent king who ruled his territory and had two devoted servants.

He climbed trees and fences, zoomed around the house, scratched, played, loved catnip, things on strings and rolling balls. He loved to be outside and let other cats know that he was king. He was friendly on his own terms, only sitting on someone's lap if he chose to, squirming like a fish when anyone picked him up. He slept with us, ate with us, followed us, talked to us and was our cherished love.

He survived two car accidents and lymph cancer and then contracted chronic renal failure when he was 15. On August 8th 2001 he was sleeping in the bushes. I went to wake him gently to bring him inside for his fluids. I settled him on his cushion, petted him and inserted the needle below his skin. Suddenly he stood up, pulled away and cried a loud, pitiful wail. His legs collapsed; his eyes glazed; he made a choking sound. I picked him up and rushed him to the vet, but by the time we got there he was gone. They think it may have been a blood clot. I will never know.

Asty lived for 16 years and seven months. He was gentle and strong, disdainful and knowing, intelligent and independent. He was loved and loving, a wonderful companion, a cherished friend, my love.

Sleep peacefully, darling Asty. You are love, and love never dies.

Helen Green

My nana, I miss you so much. I think of you everyday and know that one day we will be together again. You know we tried everything to stop your cancer from spreading but the doctors couldn't do anymore for you. After surgery, we thought we could have you for another 4 months and with chemo maybe another 4 months. But your poor little body couldn't take it anymore, and you left us 2 weeks after surgery. Seeing you one more time before your cremation was the most beautiful thing and was able to cut some of your hair off. You looked like you were in a deep sleep. Oh how I wish that was the case. I hope you come visit me, especially in my dreams. I know Moomoo misses you too Tina. No dog will ever replace you, I think of all the wonderful times we've had together and all the wonderful moments we've shared. I miss you coming to me every night begging me to feed you now. You gave us 13 wonderful years, and I miss you terribly nana. I will always love you, your mom and dad.

A special cat who loved people and was loved in return. After 2 1/2 years of increasing ill health, cancer took over and we had to say good-bye--the hardest thing I've had to do in a long time. Fortunately we still have her sister to comfort us. We will wait to meet her on the Rainbow Bridge.

Anne Burton

Oh Thena, I miss you so much, I cannot explain how I love you and miss you. Don't get upset if you see me crying, I just miss you that's all. Please visit as often as possible. Until we meet again in person, please touch me with your presence. Love always, Mommy and dad and your brother Pumpkin Boy and sisters, Chloe, Cybil, China, Cookie, Goldie.

Mj & Anton Rupprecht

My friend, so faithful, trusting, I'm lost without you.....

Atticus was the most loving, beautiful cat a person could ever own. His warm, fuzzy presence is missed everyday.

A letter to Atticus,

Oh Atty-booms...I'll never ever forget you. I loved you sooo much. I hope you know how much. This past month I especially looked at you and knew how lucky I was to have you in my life. I'm sorry you were taken from me so suddenly. Nana is especially taking it hard. Probably because she took care of you so well. I wish we had more time together. I would have taken you to the beach and played with you more. I'll never forget your soft ears and how much I loved to take them in between my fingers and shake them around. That was really my favorite thing to do. And to see you sleeping on your tummy, your wrinkled face pushed forward. I don't think you've ever looked more precious. I loved the way your smelled like sweetness. When you stretched your whole body and your little legs were straight for a few seconds. And how this past month no matter how tired you were if you heard a rustling you'd open one eye, still snoring to see what was going on. I swear I'd never finish wrapping the Xmas presents! I loved playing our special little game together. When I threw your toy and you'd fetch. But instead of bringing it back to me, you'd play with the toy, and pretend to not want it taken away. I loved the way your ears shook back and forth when you'd get your toy. So ferociously. And, even though it irritated me sometimes, I loved how you'd push nana and papa's door open with your head.
I also loved the way you waited for me when I got home from work. Your tail always wagged as much as it could. I loved your big beautiful brown eyes and the way they sometimes looked at me. Your face was so soft, and I just had found your ticklish spot. Your inner thighs, like me! I remember when nana and I were fighting and you attacked her. I liked to think you were protecting me.
I'm sorry that I didn't get to spend more time with you. I'm sorry that I wasn't more patient with you. I'm sorry I preferred sometimes to sleep, and watch t.v. than play with you. I'm sorry I didn't do all those things I dreamed of doing with you. I'm sorry I was so lazy. And I'm sorry I wasn't there with you when you left this world. I couldn't handle to see you sick.
I wasn't strong enough.
I will keep you in my heart forever. And I hope you watch over me and the rest of us who loved you. I always knew you were my angel, and now you really are. I hope you forever will play, forever enjoy your treats, and forever will lay in the sun. Good-bye my beautiful boy. For now, until we see each other again. I love you.

Your mama,

Jessica

Atticus we miss you so very much. The sudden- ness of your death has shocked us and broke our hearts. When you woke us with your sudden cry I reached toward the sound. My hands found you, I scooped up your lifeless little body yelling your name. Daddy and I were so scared. I tried baby I tried so hard to save you. I gave you breaths but it was too late. It appears that you died almost the instant you cried. It was some- thing that we had no way of knowing you had. Daddy held you for a bit then mommy held you again. Attie if I would have had it my way I never would have let you go. I still expect you to sit on the toilet and wait for mommy to get done showering so you can watch the water drain. When I get into bed I expect you to follow the way you always did. I even expect to see you out on the lawn where we buried you. I guess this is because I know we put you out there so I just expect to see you. I covered your grave with plastic yesterday. I hated the thought of your grave getting wet. I took Jasper out tonight to say hi to you. He has been lost with out you. He was so scared when he heard you cry that night. I know time will help us but we will NEVER forget you. Our love will stay as strong until we haven't any air left in our lungs. Attie baby We all miss you now and forever.

Our Love Forever.
Daddy, Mommy, Jasper, Munchie & Gus

I miss her so much! She was a wonderful cat - very affectionate, smart and intuitive.

Unfortunately she was hit by a car and never came home. I found her around the corner from my house.

I think about her every day and I really wish I could have her back again xxx

Audrey was with me for 13 fun and love filled years. We shared so much life in those years. She was such a good girl. Audrey's passing has left such a hole in my heart and my life. I miss her and think of her daily. I celebrate all she was to me... a cat full of warmth, personality, humor, attitude, purrs, and love. She loved so strongly, and asked for little in return. Just a warm lap, some food, a litter box, and the sound of my voice. My world is sadder now without her joy, but I know she is soaring, finally free of her pain, and just full of love. I wish her well on her journey, and know I will see her again someday. She will always be in my heart... I will never forget the love she gave.

Audrey came to us when she was 6 weeks old - no one wanted her - hard to believe. Over the almost 18 years she shared with us, we loved and learned a lot. How lucky we are. Audrey had chronic renal failure ("CNF") I'm sure there are other things that define periods of our lives, but one of the gifts other animals give us is this definition (if you will, a snapshot photo) of events which we attach to the animals that share our lives. Audrey came to us before we were married (I was 27), and all the highs and lows and in betweens since. She was tired and, I believe, ready to go on to new adventures. And, simultaneously, it gave me tremendous grief and joy to recognize that after she passed, she appeared more healthy and how I remember who she was than she had looked for quite some time. God speed. We love you.

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan."

Austin you broke my heart, but that was through no fault of yours, you are peaceful and healthy, there is no pain but here in my heart. Your boys miss you desperately, you putting your big head in their laps and looking soulfully at their food. The world is less without you, but you have the girls with you and I know all is well with you. Mom loves you so.

It has been 6 months, it still seems like yesterday. My life will never be the same. I still expect you to wake me up with your ball in your mouth.....but you don't. A part of me is gone with you, and a part of you is still here with me. You will never be forgotten. We didn't go camping this year, because you weren't there, it just wouldn't have been the same. Christmas is coming, and you won't be here to open presents with us. You were the boss of the house, and now the house is silent. Your not here to boss us around........You brought us more joy than you will ever know. I miss you buddy............We all do.

Alex was the product of a lineage with poetic names like Sunshine and Tweedledum whose combination were reflected in Alex's bright personality of cheerfulness and mirth. Alex's mother's name is Kane's Sunshine Lucy Belle, and father is Tweedledum Brookland Savoy.

We will miss Autumn's Scarlet Alexis, may she rest in peace.

This is a tribute to my lifelong friend. The one I don't remember not having . Who was killed and taken to rainbow bridge from her family where she is hopefully playing and playing with sticks (she wasn't much of a toy dog) . I wish I could see her again. I Love you auzzie. And I will always forever.

Ava was homeless kitty on the streets of Tampa 2 years ago. When she came into our lives, she brought great happiness and friendship. When she moved in with Hitler, Fresno and Leo, it was a battle of who would reign supreme...I think you won Ava. The pass two years were not without difficulty, You became a "special needs" kitty when you became very ill and was diagnosed with diabetes. Many times you cheated death but your will and our love brought you through. On October the 12 you lost that battle and our hearts were broken. May you find peace and comfort from the pain you have suffered and spend time with Gizmo at The Bridge. Someday we will all be together again! We love you Ava......We miss you very much...Daddy, Granny and your buds.

Avery was the best boy. We found out he had a congenital heart defect shortly after we got him at 12 weeks old, and knew he might not be around for long. It was our mission to love him as much as we possibly could and give him the BEST kitty life he could have. He enriched our lives so much. He was so smart, so lovable and sociable, so much fun to be with. Such a little character! We are unspeakably heartbroken at the loss, and at how quickly it happened. You would never know by looking at him that there was anything wrong at all. He played and loved with the energy of 10 healthy kitties. I think we were clinging to a false hope that he'd beat the odds and be around forever. Then his little heart just stopped.
He passed away peacefully, seemingly without much pain, and took a big peace of our hearts with his special little spirit.
We love you bubba and are happy for you that you are now in a place where you can always be outside, where there are lots of treats, and where we will snuggle you again one day...

My dearest and sweetest cat, you will never know how much I am missing you. The pain I feel is unbearable, and you will always be a part of my heart. I hope you are free from pain now and that I will one day hold you in my arms again.

Our very own Azaria lost her battle with cancer, a battle she fought long and with all her might. Now she is with the angels watching over us, waiting and watching over us until we meet once again. We love you, Big Red.
