Babe, 12/14/01

You were the best, Babe!! Everyone misses you, but we are glad your suffering is over. Good Girl.

Her Auntie Suzie


Babe, 11/14/01

My dearest Babe,
You left us only a few days ago, but it feels like forever. I always knew the day would come that we would be separated, but I had no idea it would hurt this bad. I do so miss you meeting me at the door every time I came home, jumping up on me for a scratch every time I'd stand still. Bugging me to let you outside, exploding out the door to chase a birdie who had the audacity to invade your territory. I regret the times I punished you for being bad, and the times I'd ignore your requests for attention. Please forgive me. If only I had you back once again...
I've asked God to keep you safe and happy till I get there, and I trust in Him to do this. I pray He'll provide you with butterflies, flowers, big open fields to run in, and an endless supply of birdies to chase. May time pass quickly for you there, as you play and wait for me, so that you never feel the loneliness that I am feeling. When the time is right, I'll join you. We'll both be young and strong again, and I'll chase you round and round the yard.

Look for me girl, I'll be the one with tears in my eyes...

I love you Babe,
Daddy


Babe, 09/24/01

I love you Babe, you were the best cat to grow up with and I will never forget you. we were both young when we first met and I am glad we had each other. you were there when times were tough and I was there for you. I will miss your head butts and all the times you fell asleep on my clean clothes. Babe I miss you!

Babe, 06/15/90-09/25/01

Although our hearts are heavy with grief, we are so thankful to have enjoyed the love and companionship of our dear Babe for all these years. She was an excellent watchdog and much loved by us all. We were comforted to be able to have her last hours be peaceful out in the bank yard with the sun shining warm and a gentle breeze. She was surrounded by loved ones and basked in the attention prior to having to be put to sleep due to a bad stroke. We await that wonderful day when she will meet us at the Rainbow bridge and are glad that she is young and healthy again and able to romp and enjoy life. We will always love her and miss her sorely.

Barb, Mandy, Sean, Katie Toomey & Lynn Underwood


Babee, 01/11/01

Babee was a rescue from the SPCA. He had been abused before he came to us. We never knew how old he was. He was only with us for a few years, yet we tried to make up for the abuse he had endured in his life. He loved to ride in the car with us. He went almost everywhere we did. When, we could not take him with us, he went to the Bed & Biscuit in Roseville, PA. Babee loved the attention he got at the B&B and enjoyed being near other dogs and having a respite from our cats. We will miss him.

Babie, 3/24/98-1/12/01 Camera Icon

Babie born March 24th 1998 left us on 1/12/2001. Though you only with us a short time you really touched our lives. You were with me when your mom went to the bridge and you helped me cope with her lose. You fought to stay with us to after the holidays. You were my baby and I saw you going down hill everyday from the cancer. I knew you would have continued to fight to stay with us, but I knew the time had come to set you free. Free of the pain you were in and free to run and play with your mom at the bridge. The day we set you free I know that you came to me that night when I was crying for you. You barked to let me know you were OK and with your mom. Then the other night I felt you laying across my feet like you always did at night. I miss you so much but I know your OK and happy running with your mom and waiting till the day when we can all be together again. All my love and till we see each other again. I love you Babie.


Baby, 06/98

Baby was quite an elegant, people-loving cat, special in particular to my Mom, Dad and sister Patti. Baby had a good long life, enjoying a sophisticated taste for grooming and various meats, as befitting the breed. Everybody spoiled this cat rotten, which I'm sure has not changed one bit in the next world. He and his feline comrades, Muffy, Sam, Pussy, and Tiger are having a great time there with Peanut and the other furbabies of the family. That Bridge's gonna be crowded!

I miss her more than anything... It was a tragic death, and this has changed me forever.

Kimberly


Baby, 11/17/01

I found Baby in the Halloween blizzard in Minnesota in 1991...she rescued me just as much as I rescued her from the storm. We enjoyed 10 wonderful years together. She stuck by my side through the most turbulent years of my life, and I thank God for the beautiful little kitty he sent me to be my friend for so many years. I miss you little Baby, I'm lonely without your little furry face. I'll see you again someday.

Baby, 10/12/01

My dear sweet Baby, your loss was short but full of love. I miss you terribly but know you are in Heaven holding onto your bottle like you always loved to do. I always remember you were loved like my own child and I eagerly look forward to the day we will be together again. Thank you for giving so freely of your love.

Baby, 09/06/01

You will always be in my heart even if you aren't in my arms.

Baby, 08/03/01

Your suffering is over now. May you be running free in fields of catnip. I only had you for four of your seventeen years but they were four very special years. You were one very special fellow. I miss you and no others can replace you. I love you forever. Be at peace my angel.

Baby, 02/23/93-02/28/99

She was the most wonderful cat and I will never forget her.

In loving memory of baby our faithful friend. Daddy & Mummy love you very much and pls come back to us as our first born child. So that we can commit a lifetime responsibility to you forever.

Love you always.
Daddy & Mummy.


Baby, 03/12/01

My heart is very heavy over the loss of my little Baby. She was only with me for a short time but I loved her sooo much. She was such a wonderful cat and such a joy in my life. It's very hard to go on without her. I will never ever forget her. I will never forget having to have her taken out and the moment of that process. She was such a real trooper. I look forward to the day when I will see her again. Words can not express the deep grief that I feel.

I love you Baby!

Sylvia A. Scott


Baby, 03/09/01

Jennifer Self


Baby, 02/15/01

My dear little Baby, you left so fast, so suddenly and so lonely. Do you know how sad Mammy and Daddy now? We miss you so much and you are deeply loved by us, at this moment we really want to go with you. For these past four days, your daddy and I cannot do anything, I could not have more tears, my eyes have already cried to dry... We have so much regret and guilty.... We never should have sent you to that hospital, your problem was never a deadly disease, and you died due to the medical negligence. I never forget your big eyes and your crying and begging us not to leave you there, but we left you there. And the next time when I saw you, you were already become a cold body. I will never forgive myself and I never can live peacefully anymore. My dear Baby, We love you so much, please forgive us and we will go to see you in the other world.


Baby, 09/17/88-02/13/01

To the sweetest little girl, and the best friend we all ever had, your family loves you. Rest in peace, sweetheart.

Chas Gaffen


Baby, 12/25/99-01/06/01

On Xmas day 1999, a beautiful peach faced lovebird was born. Shortly after her parents pushed her off the nest, I became her father and named her "BABY". I taught her well, with her knowing how to respond by her name and respond to commands. Being as lonely as I had been, she was the best thing that ever happened to me since I moved to the island. 2 months after having her just the 2 of us, I got baby's cousin(KIKO)whom also was just weaned. I did this so baby wouldn't be so lonely when I was at work. And so the 3 of us became a family and my once empty life was filled with so much laughter and good times. I can still hear her happy chirps when I would come home from work. During this time, I always noticed how trusting baby was as opposed to kiko in terms of physical contact and frequent visits to my arms and shoulders and hair. Baby was just like my own child(if I had one) On January 6 of 2001, after having a visitor in the guest room, Baby (as naughty and full of curiosity as she was)flew into the guest room and was violently flung against the wall by a full speed ceiling fan(that was never on for that very reason) I heard the loud bang from the next room and ran in to find my baby dead on the futon. Her body still warm, I cradled her in my hands and at that moment, I began to feel a pain that I have never felt before. As kiko watched, I wrapped her and took the whole cage with kiko to a park near Waikiki and buried her at the base of a palm tree and carved her name into it.
Not wanting to leave kiko to grieve alone, I purchased another lovebird that very day (that looked much like baby) and put it in the cage with kiko. kiko refuses to sleep by it and always pecks at it now. I worry everyday if those 2 will ever get along and I am working desperately to get my relationship with kiko much like how I once had with baby. All the while in the back of my mind, when I see kiko flying around the house, I long to see the familiar red and green right beside him chirping so happily. Wherever you are my baby, I miss you.................

Baby, 1989-12/26/00

I always felt safe when Baby was with me. She might have been afraid but she would not back down if she thought I was in harms way. It has been seves hours since you left this earth Baby oh how I cry for you and miss you.

Joyce Stanley


Baby, 10/77-12/26/00

When I got Baby, he was our first pet. He was so amazing and at one time, when I would say, " do you want to go to bed?" Baby would come running and sleep next to me all night long. He grieved the loss of two other cats,,,,,,and now Missy, my 3 year old kitten and myself are in some terrible grief. Baby did not die when he had the shot,,,,, until he could purr three more times,,,,as if to say,,,,I love you Mom ,,,, thank you for taking me out of pain.
Baby had a tumor in his mouth,,,,, and I could not continue to let him suffer for selfish reasons. Needless to say,, MY BEST FRIEND's death is taking it's toll on two of us left behind,,,,,,Missy his sister kitten and his mom,,,, me,,,,,,,,,,,
Baby was THE BEST cat that ever walked this earth,,,,,,,,,,,, Just my humble opinion because I loved and love him so and he is dearly missed.

Baby Bear, 12/05/87-12/28/00

She was so cuddly as a pup
John knew she was ours as he picked her up
She had a personality all her own
And was the baby of our home
Lady Bear, as she was named, was full of grace
And never let a biscuit be misplaced
She loved pizza and cheese
As did her Dad
And anything else she could get out of our hand
We miss her hugs and kisses too
The time we had with her just flew
Her mama loves her and her daddy too
Goodnight Baby Bear - sweet dreams to you
We love you Baby Bear

Baby Bear, 05/14/01

Baby Bunny, 01/16/01

Baby Bunny was not just a cat -- she was my friend and companion. She brought more love, joy and peace to my life than I ever thought possible. I will miss her with all my heart and soul. I have had many pets in my life, but never one that touched my heart the way she did. Right now I feel that the whole left in my heart by her passing will never be filled again. BABY BUNNY, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.

Judy Jones


Baby Chloe, 03/06/01-05/06/01

Baby Chloe you only lived a short time but you are still very much loved and missed. In that short time you touched my heart.

We will meet you again on the Rainbow Bridge.

Love,

Your foster mom Sandy


Baby Doe, 10/21/01

This tribute is for the baby doe that I saw late at night slowly crossing the road on only three of your legs. The fourth dangled uselessly. The cars waited for you to cross before they moved on. No one was willing to help you. Seeing you like that tore at my heart. Alone, afraid and in pain. I rushed the last mile home and called the sheriffs dept. They met me within fifteen minutes of when I first spotted you. They came to put you out of your pain. You had gone into the woods and brush and they would not go in with me to look for you. I knew I had to find you but would never do so in the dark. The next day I went to look for you. It did not take me long to find you. You did not get far. How could you? I cried when I came upon your small body. I hope that death came quickly and that you did not suffer for too long. I tried to take comfort in the fact that your suffering was over and you were now at the Bridge. It did not work very well. I made a small cross out of twigs and planted it next to you. I said a prayer for you and left wondering where your mother was. Did she meet the same fate as you? Is she with you now? I hope so. Someday when I go to the Bridge to meet my pets and companions, maybe I will see you there. To all that might read this I ask that if you ever see an injured animal to please help. Don't hope that the next person will stop. Help those that cannot speak for themselves...... Mitch


Baby Girl, 04/27/87-12/17/01

Oh baby girl...I am going to miss you so much, you were the best little doggie in the world to me. I am going to miss so many things about you, from the very first day I got you..the energy you had when you were a puppy, doin little cartweels all over the room..to teaching the other little doggies how to behave and bein little miss bossy, because you were so cute..to chasing the sweeper..to becoming the one little being I could always depend on to love me no matter what..how you comforted me through the days of my life, always there for me. You were my best friend in the world, my little person trapped in a doggie body.. I am so sorry we had to put you to sleep, I couldn't stand for you to suffer anymore. I know holding you at that moment, you knew me and your daddy were right there, as you took your last breath..and we waited while your big brother Buffy Lou reached out his little hand, to take you over the Rainbow Bridge..the land of meadows, hills and lush green grass where there is always food and water and warm spring weather..for you to run and jump and play with him and Old Baby Chico, Old Buffa Lou I and II, Ben and Benji, Patches B. Barger, Typhannie, Miss Bunny, Bitsy Lou and Teeny. We will all miss you so hard bad..especially me..oh honey I love you with all my heart, and your daddy who kissed you..while he cried so hard..and your Aunt Carol who loved you so much, she was the one who found you for me, and gave you to me.. that called you on the phone for you all the time, she really wanted to see you one last time..Grandma Opal who made a special trip to see you right before you went..we will grieve so hard for you. and I promise I won't cry every day..or try not to..feel safe in God's hands..and look forward to when I cross the bridge to be with you..never again to be separated.. I love you forever Baby Chico Marie..with all my heart..love Mama


Baby Gray, 12/10/01

My Baby Gray was a gorgeous long-haired stray who was born in my bushes just 8 short months ago. Although he was very wild and frightened, I fell in love with him(along with his other two siblings and mother) right away. Each night, I'd put a bowl of food out for him and fluff up his favorite fuzzy blanket on his "bed" -- my lawnchair. I watched from my window just last night as he curled up and fell asleep in my backyard, the only safe haven he's had since birth. Tonight, I found my beloved lying alongside my busy street, with a fatal wound to his sweet little head. I scooped him up, wrapped him in his favorite blanket and placed him in a box; As painful as it is, I'm planning on burying him in a shady spot of the yard -- the only home he knew. God bless you, Baby Gray. I pray you find peace and finally know no fear as you lay in the laps of St. Francis and the Lord.

Baby Kitty, 2/26/01

My sweet Baby Kitty, my little angel, we will miss you so much. We are so sorry for what happened. Please forgive us. We love you so much. We will miss your sweet smile and the way that you rubbed your beautiful face against ours, to greet us or just because. You were so sweet. Thank you for always giving me a cheery "good morning" when I got out of the shower and for lying on my wet towel, making me laugh. You have really helped me through rough times and I will always be thankful. Thank you for keeping me warm at night. I will always have you with me, in my heart and in my locket. Your buddies miss you too. We feel so sad and miserable without you. You were the perfect companion and friend. You had so many wonderful qualities and were so beautiful; you touched everyone's heart. I will be eternally thankful that you came into that Humane Society that day and went home with me; it was destiny. I only wish it could have been longer. You were my sunshine. I saved your life twice; I only wish it could have been three times. We tried desperately. I am truly blessed to have been your friend. You will be missed by all who knew you. Especially me.
Love eternal,
Denise, Glenn, Beau, Pepper, Bella, Sebastian, Simone and Sydney and Mama, Brandon and Diana


Baby Mee (Aka Luna), 03/19/98-11/30/01

O, Baby Mee, how much we miss you. My hands ache to rub and pet you. You were truly the "sweetest cat in the universe" according to Chloe. I will never forget the fun the two of you had together, and hope God will keep you safe and happy until we meet again.

Laurie, Jim, & Chloe Kiernicki


Baby Orange, 11/19/01

Baby Rager, 09/07/01

This is for Baby Rager, who went to visit the Rainbow Bridge on September 7, 2001. She was a beautiful little cat- a beloved family member to Ann, Jennifer, Robert and Elizabeth. Though I never met Baby, I do know she was the sweetest, most lovable little girl ever, and she never stopped demonstrating that love to her family. She will be missed so very much. We can be comforted by the thought that she is free from discomfort, and that she knows her loved ones proved that love by allowing her to live in happiness from now on.

I send my prayers to her mother, Ann, and the rest of her family here.

Remember to look in the sky for the new little star shining so brightly.

My love, Connie


Baby Sherry, 06/05/01-09/22/01

My heart will always have a special place for you, even though I have Eight others to love. I will always miss and love you, and I look forward to meeting you again on rainbow bridge one day......

Bachman, 06/84-08/07/00

Dear Bachman, You were the best dog anyone could ever wish for. We had you for 16 years and now you come visit us in our dreams. Sweet dog, you left paw prints on our hearts. We will love you always.

Mike and Rozanne Helms


Badger (Blakey's Mallory), 02/08/88-27/12/98

When the body that lives at your single will
With its whimper of welcome is stilled (how still);
When the spirit that answers your every mood
Is gone - wherever it goes - for good,
You will discover how much you care
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

(Rudyard Kipling)

Baer, 11/14/92-06/06/01

Baer will always hold a special place in my heart and I will always treasure the memories we had. It was the hardest decision of my life, but he couldn't suffer. Baer, I know your in heaven now and out of pain. I wish you could have continued living here with us for many more years and ending your pain was a very tough decision. I miss you greeting me at the door, waking me up in the morning, I miss so much. But it would have been greedy of me to make you suffer in pain just to have you with me. I love you with all my heart and I always will. I hope your at peace now, I will carry you in my heart always. God bless you and thank you for many wonderful years.

Erika Caffery

Baer, we just wanted to tell you how much we love and miss you. You will always be in our hearts and we will carry you with us always. Nobody or nothing will ever replace you, and we miss you more then you will know. We know your at peace now and out of pain. You're with God now and you're safe and peaceful. We will be together again one day. We love you always. Love always,

Grandma and Aunt Dolly


Baffin, 07/88-10/29/01

Baffin the most trusting, gentle and faithful friend anyone could find or want. We will miss you more then we can express. We love you and will remember you always. Our home feels empty without you here with us, but in our hearts and memories you live on.

Meg


Bagels, 07/15/85-12/21/00

She was a special girl. Her loss hurts. She is at peace and thats important for my princess

Scott


Baggins, 4/22/83-07/07/01

Eighteen years and over six thousand walks are two ways of measuring your life, old friend. No one could ask for a better pal. Now you're at the Bridge and have rejoined Maynard and Rascal. I'm sure you're making new friends just like you always did. The sorrow I feel is great, but not as great as the joy you gave me. Just like the song says, your life was measured in love. Be ready for our next walk together.

Greg


Bailey, 02/10/96-12/05/01

Baliey was jut 5 years old when she was diagnosed with Lymphoma last November, 2001. We were given an extra month with her because of treatment. However, remission only lasted a month. Bailey was a beautiful girl who's favorite toy was "Wilson" a partially inflated basketball she carried with her everywhere. She enjoyed dad's vanilla ice cream, sleeping with Diana every night, patiently waiting in the hallway for Diana to return, even though the door was open for her to fall into bed herself. Bailey enjoyed car rides that would allow her to visit the "human world" full of open windows and fresh air. She was with us for such a short time, yet she really completed our family, making it whole. We ended her suffering yesterday, December 5th, 2001. Words can really not express the loss we are feeling right now. We really were blessed to have had such a loving animal come into our lives. We hope the loss all of you are feeling becomes less painful in time.

John, Georgiann Diana


Bailey, 11/17/01

Bailey was a smiley dog who loved everyone and everyone loved her. The joys and love she gave so abundantly over the years will keep her memory alive. She took a hunk of each of our hearts when she left us, but our hearts are filled with such thankfulness for her time here with us. Bailey, we love you and will look forward to having you wiggle your butta and seeing your "cute ears" when we see you again. Meet you in our dreams.... LOVE Your Family


Bailey, 10/05/89-10/15/01

Bailey was such a special dog, she was more like my baby than a pet. She has always been such a comfort and constant companion to me that it's terribly difficult to see my life without her now. She was sickly when we first met, but together with terrific vets she survived several surgeries and other problems that would persist throughout her life. Her personality was so unique, she was always a bright spot in each day. Our bond is very strong and I'll never forget the beautiful times and love we shared while she was here. My journey from this world will be easier knowing she'll be waiting for me when it's my time. Until then - I love and miss you Bailey Bear. Mommy


Bailey, 10/01/87-07/02/01

My Bailey - the first and the best. I treasure every moment of our time together - the good, the bad; the funny, the happy, the sad; even the really aggravating moments. I will miss you always.

Kristi Wright


Bailey, 08/22/88-07/19/01

My Heart, My Love, My only Friend. It is now one month since I lost you and it is no easier. You were the best my beautiful boy and loved by everybody for your sweetness and gentleness. How can I go on without you. It hurts so much. There is a field that I used to take you to where you could run to your hearts content and a week after you left I went back there for the last time. I know that you are running there now, and I can hardly wait to die so that I can be with you again.
08/22/88-07/19/01 My love will be with you always.


Bailey, 01/27/93-08/12/01

We love you Bailey, Nana, Kellie, Kasey, Chris, Logan, Morgan, Christopher...


Bailey, 08/05/01

Bailey left me today

He left me with all his toys and well worn bed that was the shape of his body but he forgot to take the sound of his feet on the hardwood floors and the soft whimper of being 15 and confused from time to time or being afraid to enter a room with no light for his eyes saw so little light now

He left me with his bones and bowls and animal friends but forgot to take that always happy to see you feeling and those big paws surrounding me when I was sad and all alone on holidays

He left me holes dug in the yard, dozens of shoes redesigned, trashcans upturned and papers shredded but he forgot to take his name, forgot to take his loyalty and love

He left his leash on the wall, his collar in the drawer but forgot to take that little cok of his head and slight smile and of course those drop dead big brown velvet eyes of his

But I know one thing he did take was a pact we made before I went into the hospital that whomever went first was to wait at the gate for the other For love is in the souls not physical bodies

I'll just say I miss you and not good bye because my loyal beloved friend it's just a matter of time until we will all meet at the gate For all the memories good boy in this life we lived together I thank you with the whole of my heart

Forever Mommy


Bailey, 9/30/00-7/28/01

Bailey you were the bird of my heart. Your Family Misses you
terribly.
I will See you again one day at the bridge. Hugs and kisses to you Mr. Man,
But you are in the care of your sisters Mandy & Tabathia.
I love you
Mommy


Bailey (a.k.a. Bailey Boo, Bails, Bailster, love puppy, wonderdog!)

My sweet little Bailey - How I miss seeing your loving face around every corner, always there at my side, telling me you are there with a subtle nudge of your wet nose. I miss your velvet head and silken ears. Your huge brown eyes are forever etched in my memory. Oh Bails, we went through it all girl, your love is forever etched in my heart as is the hole that came when you left. I love you and thank you for the best 8 years of my life!

Love Margie


Bailey, 03/07/94-06/22/01

Bailey, 08/31/91-06/04/01

You will ALWAYS be in my heart...I miss your chocolate brown eyes, loving companionship, and that "special" smile! I will see you at the Bridge...I LOVE YOU FOREVER, Your Nonna


Bailey, 2001

Rest in Peace my loyal companion, my sweetie.

Jane Ryckman


Bailey, 06/09/90-04/24/00

Bailey boo boo, Bailey Bumblebutt...we seemed to call you everything but your real name. How we miss you so. We know you are with us when the wind blows and we see you around the corner, but when we look to find you, you aren't there. No more slobbered balls or torn Kleenex. I guess I won't be baking any dog biscuits anymore. Sweet little girl, you will be in our hearts forever.

Kristen & Kent Parkinson


Bailey, 08/28/89-04/01/01

Bailey,

Words cannot express how lost we are without you. You were truly the best friend and most loyal companion a family could ask for. We will love you and miss you forever. Our house seems so empty without you. We were truly blest to have you for twelve years. We miss you, baby girl, and love you so very much. We will see you again someday and will be together forever. We love you big dog!

Love, Mom, Dad, Matt and Ben


Bailey, 11/18/91-03/16/01

I love and miss Bailey very much. He truly was my best friend. I look forward to the day when we meet again.

Chrissy


Bailey

Bailey was the most amazing animal on earth. She was the kind of dog that would tiptoe into a room so as not to wake you...we called her our little ballerina. She had the most sincere, kind, and gentle ways about her. She would actually look at you and listen as if she understood every word you said to her. I think she did. I miss how she would come up and cuddle with me and take afternoon naps. Even in her last days when she was incredibly sick and wanted to be left alone, she dragged herself up onto my bed to spend precious time with me. I miss her so and thought that she deserved to be known about. She was am amazing animal. Everyone deserves one just like her. I love you, Bay. You will be in my heart forever.


Bailey, 10/19/91-01/23/01

May God bless you and watch over you. I'm so thankful to know that you're no longer sick and there is no pain... I just wish that the pain I feel in my heart would subside. Thank you for the 9 years that we had together... I love you.

My sweet Bailey,

I'm so sorry about your terrible drowning accident yesterday, Monday, January 8th, 2001. I tried my very best to save you, and so did many others. I'm sorry the ice prevented you from climbing back up, I'm sorry the current was too strong for you to fight, I'm sorry I couldn't save you on time, I'm sorry!!!!!

I will love you always, and always. You are in my heart, prayers, thoughts and soul. I miss you, and find it so unfair that you were taken away from me at such a young age!! You have meant so much to me, and I'm a better person for having had you in my life!!

Mommy loves you, my sweet good little boy!!!


Bailey Boy, 03/05/96-11//03/01

The most loyal and loving companion there ever was. He had no idea he was a dog and only knew he was our little boy. He went long before his time and will be missed for the rest of our lives. We love you Bailey and miss you.

Bailey Boy

I love you with all my heart, Li'l Man. I'm so grateful to Our Lord Jesus Christ for blessing me with your love for seventeen years (119 "doggie years"). Take care of Mom until we all meet at the Rainbow Bridge. I'll bet you're the only pet to ever vacation in 48 of the 50 states, plus Canada and Mexico. Bailey, my thirty pound mutt (mixed golden retriever) always wore his red bandana in public. He loved Lincoln Park where his spirit still fetches sticks, balls, his kong, frisbees and chased the squirrels. He was so pretty that ladies would call him "she" until the li'l devil started humping their legs.

A special dog we "fostered" when her parents were away...she was killed today by an inconsiderate construction worker whose company had been warned to "go slow" on a private street...to no avail. Her passing leaves a huge hole in the entire neighborhood, and her parents are devastated. She will be missed by all--only 5 years old and rescued from the "pound" the day before she was to be killed.

Balaya Go For The Gold Webster, 07/04/84-01/05/01

Webby was our special boy, the old man of our family. He was a rescue and added a third Whippet to our household of seven children. The kids decided there weren't enough to go around so Webby came to live with us. He was always "The Old Man". He just seemed incapable of letting go to have much fun. But he was always the one to let us know when someone was coming to the door--always on duty. In his later years, he always wnated to be where we were, so he had beds in the computer room, the sewing room, as well as by the fireplace and in the master bedroom. Every once in a while, he would get up and walk around the house, only to come back to the room where his person was. He would then walk over to the chair, give that person a gentle "noodge" in the rump and then go back to his bed. We will miss him.

Dear Sweet Ballon,

How I enjoyed my time with you and Myshall taking our long walks in the parks as well as our indoor playtime. I always felt safe with you and Myshall and will truly miss you when I come to see your brother. Knowing that you will never be sick again brings comfort to me although not seeing you again makes me very sad. Myshall will have to find his way alone now and although he will look for you around every corner for awhile, you really won't be that far, and he will sense that. Watch over Myshall now and when he has to say good-bye, I know you will be there to greet him and take care of him as you always have.

Sweet Rest to you my friend Ballon, I love you and I will miss you.

Banchee, you gave me 3 1/2 years of your life. But time was so short, I still miss you. I hope to meet you at the Rainbow bridge when my time comes. Meowmie misses you, baby.


Bandit, 11/86-11/15/01

Bandit lived 15 quality years, he was loved by everyone in the family, His time had come, old age had taken its toll on his once playful body. We will miss him dearly.

Bandit, 03/15/85-09/94

Bandit you were my first baby and I loved you very much. We still think of you often and talk about you just as much. Just remember that I can't wait to see you again.

Bandit, 09/01/86-08/28/01

Bandy - our home is hollow and heartbreaking without you even with 7 others to keep me company. Not one has taken your place on my pillow. You loved exactly how it was meant to be and shown by your wagging little tail.

Susan Peterson


Bandit, 06/26/01

Bandit had been in my family for 11 years. He was very special. He had belonged to my mother who had passed away 3 years ago. I shouldn't have, but I attributed him to being the only thing that I had left of my mother. But it went beyond that. He helped me in the grieving process and was there for me every step of the way. When he got sick, I was devastated. I did all I could to save him. The only thing I could do at that point was return him to his rightful owner. I feel such a sense of loss at Bandit's passing, but I am comforted to know that other people out there feel the same way I do. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Lisa D. Ecklund


Bandit, 12/05/89-06/26/01

Bandit was my best friend, living my life with ME going everywhere with me, always by my side. He was an inspiration to me and was the sweetest big guy who loved to meet people and other dogs. I will miss him terribly and I will never hold that same glow that I had knowing he was waiting at home for me.

Ginger


Bandit, 05/92-06/08/01

His Siamese meow would echo through the house, always having something to talk about. Those big blue eyes would contently gaze up at me, filled with love as I scratched his head. And when he slept at night, he had to make sure I couldn't slip out of bed without him knowing, as he placed a paw on my cheek or forehead or neck. He just had to be touching me so that when he closed his eyes, he knew I was there. So when he closed his eyes for the last time in my presence, I was holding him, kissing him and petting his head so he could feel that I was there and he would know that is was ok. I would have never imagined how much I would miss those big kitty paws on my face when I go to sleep at night. Or how much I would miss that very loud meow that echoed through the house at all times. He was my angel and now he has become my guardian angel. Mommy will always love you, Bandit-kitty.

Bandit Gunther

I called Bandit my little Kitty-Goat because he preferred eating grass to eating any other food. I had to make sure I latched the screen door securely after he discovered he could push it open and graze on the patch of special grass we had planted for him. No matter where he was in the house, he would come running when he heard the door open, just in case he could convince someone to give him a blade or two of grass.

Dave called Bandit his Court Jester because of the way he would come running whenever he heard the fan go on in the bathroom. Bandit knew he could count on a good petting session from Dave while he was seated on the "throne." He also had the curious ability to yodel, at least that's the best word we came up with to describe it. We've never heard another cat make that noise. He would look for places to practice where the acoustics were just right, places like the bathtub and the stairwell. Then he would regale the neighborhood from the porch. I used to joke that he was part of the Twilight Bark chain from 101 Dalmatians.

Just about a year ago the vet told us that Bandit's heart was dangerously enlarged and his heartbeat was irregular. The doctor warned us that it probably wouldn't be long before serious problems would develop as Bandit's heart got worse and his other organs were affected. Sure enough, soon his kidneys started giving him problems. We've nursed him through several crises since then, giving him what support we could. However, recently he reached a point where nothing we did was enough. The only thing he would eat willingly was grass and even kitty-goats can't live on lawn alone. As we watched him crouch miserably, we knew it was time to let him go.

We took him back again to the same vet that discovered his problem. He had encouraged us through the year as we tried medicines and a special diet. Frankly, we were hoping that his heart would just give up and end his suffering quickly and naturally. His heart was stronger than his kidneys, though, so the easy path was not taken. It hurt to have to make the final decision and see it carried out, but it helps to know he isn't suffering any more. He looked peaceful lying there on the counter, as if in a deeper, more restful and certainly more comfortable sleep than he had enjoyed in a long time. It was hard to believe that he was gone. Jesus said that God knows every sparrow that falls. I know He cared for our beloved Bandit. We'll never pet him again nor hear him yodel, but whatever God has in store for beloved creatures is better than making him suffer a prolonged but painful life.

Please pray for us. We got Bandit as a kitten from the Orange County Animal Shelter 16 years ago and he has been a great pet and pal. I remember him purring when I first picked him up. Dave felt him purring as his heart stopped beating. We will miss him but we loved him too much to ask him to spend more time in pain. He had a good life and 16 is pretty old for a cat. It was time for him to go. However, knowing that doesn't make the pain in our hearts any less, so we will appreciate your prayer support as we grieve.

Although he was "only a cat," he took the place of a child in our lives. He had personality, knew right from wrong, and he understood love. He was gentle and careful when he played. He was not mischievous or mean. He was our loving fur-kid and we miss him already.

I don't know how Bandit's housemate, Smokey, will react to his absence. T0hey haven't been spending much time together, so I suspect that he will be glad that there is less competition for our attention but sad that there will be no other food dish for him to steal from.

We'll get another cat eventually, but it will be a while before we're ready for that. You can bet, though, that when we are we'll be looking for another cat like Bandit.

Tina and Dave Gunther


Bandit, 05/16/01 Camera Icon

You were named "Bandit" because you stole my heart! Since I brought you home almost 12 years ago, you have captured the hearts of everyone who visited us. Everyone loved you, and you loved everybody. But, you were (still are and always will be) my Baby Boy. You're my "Stinky Pooh" and my "Little Hineyness". You and your sister Patches were my babies and my little ones. Nothing can change that.
I miss you. I miss you waiting on back of the sofa to greet me when I came home, your crying to be picked up and carried into the kitchen for your dinner. I miss the special ways you woke me up -- knocking down the jars on my headboard, biting my nose, and patting my cheek. I also miss the way you would rub your face in the palm on my hand, and the way you let me know you wanted to do this with your paw. I miss your cuddling next to me as I sat on the sofa, and how you sometimes let me cuddle with you "in the palm of my hand" in bed. Thank you, my Little One, for all these wonderful years of your sweetness, your unconditional love, your comfort and companionship. Thank you, along with your sister, Patches, for giving me a reason to live, to survive breast cancer, to come home.
You know that I will ALWAYS love you. You will always be my Baby Boy, my Little One, my Stinky Pooh, and my Hineyness.
I believe there is a Rainbow Bridge, and that your are there now with Patches waiting for me to "Come Home" to God's Home, Heaven. I will be there as soon as God calls me. Until then, remember me, love me, and wait for me.


Bandit, 03/24/01

Thank you for the 15 years you gave us. You were our buddy, our pal and we miss you. We loved you then and love you now. You will always be in our hearts until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge

Bandit, 11/28/98-03/06/01 Camera Icon

I got Bandit because of a dream in which I had one night. I dreamt that I was in a tunnel, a sewer or such. I had to escape. It was dark. The water level was rising and there was debris floating all around. I had to run! I looked over and saw a mouse, stranded on a floating piece of wood. I had to save him! I grabbed him and struggled to get us to safety as best I could. But the fight became too hard as the water got waist deep. I lost him. The next day I went out and bought a mouse. If I couldn't save the mouse in my dream, I would save one from being snake food in reality. And I did. This was Bandit. She was a grey mouse with beautiful black eyes, a pink nose, and at the very tip of her brownish/grey tail, were 3 stripes. Very unique! We named her Bandit, (aka Mouseface) because we kept her in a birdcage and she would always escape thru the bars! The little sneak! She used to swing on the bird swing until she chewed it to bits. She eventually got big and fat and couldn't escape anymore. We used to meep noses all the time and she loved exploring my shoulders. The dogs would go to her cage and she'd tell them hello with a nice swat to their snouts! If I'd go to her cage, she'd come running over to say Hi! She never bit me. Ever. She knew the difference between food and my fingers. Altho she didn't like to be bothered from her nap, and if you did, she'd run full force at your fingers, pretending that she was going to bite you to teach you a lesson. But she never did. I'd give her whatever I had to eat and she'd eat it with glee. Her favorite were honey milk drops that we'd keep frozen. Yummy! I had her for about 2 years..maybe a little more. Then one day, out of the blue, we noticed a small tumor on her side. Didn't seem to bother her tho. She was the same feisty little mouse as always. Over the next 2 weeks, it dramatically increased in size. The skin started to break. She couldn't walk as easily and she was losing a lot of weight. We think she had a few other small tumors too. But I watched her. She never looked ill in spirit. Then one day on my lunch break, I noticed the tumor was almost the size of a golf ball . When I went to take her out of the cage, she shuddered, as if in pain. I called the vet..I knew it was time. The appt. was for 2pm that day. That gave me 2 hours to spend with her. I called work and told them something came up at home and I couldn't come back in today. We spent the next 2 hours non stop together. I fed her anything she wanted to eat...She was her same high spirited self. I started to think I was making the wrong decision. But I stuck it out, as hard as it was. I knew she would just get worse. No sense waiting till the tumor ruptured. When the time came to leave, I put her in a shoe box with a blanket and some honey drops. I put her on the passenger side of the car and began to drive, crying the whole way. I put my hand in her shoebox the best I could while driving, which was really only a few fingers. I wanted her not to be scared. I wanted her to know I was still there with her. She immediately ran to my fingers and put her 2 paws on them..she kept them there the entire 35 minute drive! The only time she moved them was to find a more comfortable position, and then she'd put them back. She's never been THAT affectionate, EVER. It was almost a reassurance that I was doing the right thing and she knew it was time. She was telling ME! By the time I reached the vet I was inconsolable. Handing her over was the hardest thing I ever had to do. They said mice don't get euthanized like other animals, due to the small veins. They must get a needle stabbed directly into the heart...which isn't a big organ and it moves easily, therefore can be missed. That meant she would need to be stabbed again, and if they missed again, etc. Once more, I thought I'd made the wrong decision. I brought her there to be put FROM her misery, not to be given more. The vet agreed to sedate her with anesthesia before she euthanized her so she couldn't feel any pain. But that meant I couldn't be with her when she died. But I agreed. The less pain for her, the better. They returned her in a paper towel with her blood stained on it, dead. My baby, my Mouseface, my Bandit. I held her for about 2 hours until my boyfriend came home and took her away from me. We buried her on the hill, in the woods, where she will be close to us. I plan on painting her a nice rock for a marker come summer. BANDIT, you are missed greatly! Even the dogs continue to look for you. Be waiting for us at the Bridge. I'll bring a honey milk drop for you :)
Love Always,
CJ, AJ, Nikoda, and Madison

Bandit, 01/93-04/07/01

"Bandit"
Bandit was the first cat to come to our family. The following year he was joined by his brother Knicks, and two years later, another brother, Scooter. Bandit was a wonderful friend. He always made it a point to let me know exactly what was on his mind. He became ill, and I could tell by the look in his eye that he was ready to end his pain. Knicks, Scooter, and I want him to know that we love him very much, and miss him very much. The three of us are very much at a loss not having him home with us.. I hope he knows that when it's our time, Knicks, Scooter and myself will all meet at the bridge and cross together, like a family should.
Bandit, always remember Mommy loves your very very much.

Bandit, 3/2/01

Bandit was my special little boy. I found him one day after someone had abandoned him. He was only 4 months old. He has been with me for 10 years. He left me unexpectedly due to cancer. The happiness and joy he brought me is overwhelming. And so is the sorrow I feel at his loss. He was such a good boy. He would love to play in my shoe boxes or any boxes, jump as high as he could to try and get the laser light on the ceiling and then curl up and sleep on my lap for hours till my legs went numb. He even accepted and tolerated Casey, my new dog. What a sport he was. He didn't care that she was much bigger then him. He was Bandit after all. He is no longer in anymore pain. I will miss my baby boy, my silly-willey. Until I see you again in heaven, I will always love you Bandit.

Bandit, 08/15/97-01/14/01

I just need to say that I loved this dog, he was my son. My husband and I can not have children so he was our child. I will miss him dearly. I will cherish all the memories he has given me.

Bandit, 11/05/88-12/05/00 Camera Icon

You have gone with the angels. I gave your life back to you again. I became your eyes. I became your ears. I carried you when you needed me to. You will now see again, hear again, walk and run with your furry friends. I grieve for you every day. I know the day will come when the tears will be less, but I will never ever let you go. You will be with me forever my dear Bandit. My life is not the same without you, even though I know you are in a better place. You will be in my heart forever.
Love Mom

A good friend of mine has gone away..He won't be back..And I miss him.
There are those who'll say he was only a dog. I suppose they are right..But I miss him.
He was blind and sick, tired and weak, much too tired to play..Gee, I miss him.
Letting him go was so hard to do, I guess I knew ..How I'd miss him.
While there is comfort in knowing his pain is gone, Mine goes on..'Cause I miss him.

12/30/00 Bandit crossed Rainbow Bridge today. She was rescued from the Woodlands Race Track in Kansas City and had live with our family for the last 7 years. She was a joy and always there to great you with a friendly Greyhound smile and a wagging tale after a hard days work. She was a great comfort. She will be greatly missed. She would have been 10 this May but developed Osteocarinoma and we had to let her go, to cross "Rainbow Bridge" I believe I will see her again some day. I miss her greatly and have lost a great friend.

Bandit,

My puppy-wuppy, my Bandit Shmandit, my sweet stupid ugly dog. I miss you so much I can't stand it. I always knew the day would come you would have to leave, and although I saw that day approaching the last few months, I still never expected it.
I love you, my friend. The one who knows all my secrets, my best friend.
My bowls of milk will still be laid on the floor just for you, and half a steak sub will always be saved for you.
We miss you so much, we love you. Please watch over us.
Love,

Baraka, 07/09/99-10/09/01

Baraka was a very special cat in so many ways to me. My brother whom has shown no outward affection towards me got Baraka for me when my cat of 17 years died. It was the most loving thing he could have done for me. Baraka was loving, opinionated, center of attention. I loved him with all my heart. He was the cleanest cat I knew as he was always taking a bath. He had the softiest fur imaginable. I will miss him greatly. As will the others that his life touched. I love you Baraka. I miss you. I only hope you are in a better place now.

Barkley, my beloved Chocolate Labrador, it has only been 4 days since you left us and we miss you more than we could imagine. You were my constant companion and best friend for 14 years seeing me through thick and thin, good and bad. Now I am left with a huge Labrador shaped hole in my heart. One of the hardest parts about losing you, is that you aren't here to help me through it. Thanks for the good times, the good memories, and for loving me no matter what. We MISS you and LOVE you so much. Remember, you'll be in our hearts ... always!

Until we meet again, my friend!

LOVE, Your Mom, Dad, and sisters, Taylor, Dana and Coco


Barkly, 02/01/89-02/03/01

Barkly, my little boy, I used to call you the Velcro dog because no matter where I went, you were right beside me. I'll miss how you used to wake me up in the morning--even as early as 5:00 a.m. on my days off. Now that you're gone, I'd give anything to hear your early morning barks.

You had a heart of gold, and your kindness shined through your little brown eyes. No matter how hard my day was, I could always look forward to seeing you when I got home. The second I put my key in the door to come inside, you'd let out a barrage of woofs. I was home and you were ready to love and comfort me. And, of course, you were always eager to be loved. You'd jump at my feet, and when I held you in my arms, I could hear you say, "I wuv you." Of course, everyone laughed when I said my dog could talk. If some birds can talk, why not an intelligent toy poodle?

I'll miss our walks together. You were my walking buddy. When I look at the sidewalks and streets we used to stroll on, I want to cry. There are a lot of things that now will make me cry and trigger memories of you, such as opening a slice of cheese (your favorite food), seeing your winter sweater, looking at dog snacks in the grocery aisle, and your collar and fancy leash with the built in flashlight that I bought at Sharper Image just for you.

Spunky misses you, too. I bought you to keep her company, and you were a good friend to her. She was your mother figure. I'm giving her extra attention now to keep her strong. She's an old girl and will one day be with you. Then you can play together in open fields, and your bodies will always be swift and strong.

I know that heaven exists and that God would not create kind-hearted animals like you simply to let them fade away forever. I am confident that we will meet again. Until that day, you will remain a Velcro dog--always by my side and forever attached to my heart.

Nina

Barnaby Christopher

6/13/89--5/3/01

We were so lucky to have you in our lives. On August 13, 1989, our lives changed forever, that is the day we met you at the Humane Society. It took me so long to write this because I miss you so much. Barnaby was the world's(okay our) GREATEST boy. It has been six months since we lost you and it sure has not gotten any easier. Barnaby was so well behaved and loved by everyone. I remember the night before you died and Chris laid you on our bed and we kissed you and told you how much we loved you and that it was okay to rest. Some days when I remember that night I wish I would have never told you it was okay. When you got sick we never thought that in less than a week later we would be without you. We all love you and miss you with all our hearts.

Thank you so much for posting this on your website. Barnaby now has a new baby brother a sheltie named Barnaby's Little Skipper. Skipper is a great puppy with very big shoes to fill and he is definitely working on doing that.

Thank you,
Debbie, Chris, Aimee, Kathleen, and Skipper Allen


Barney, 11/08/01

To the greatest friend and love. You will never be forgotten. 14 years ago we came together at a time we both needed someone to love and cuddle to. You helped me through so many things, no matter what came up you were always by my side. Thank You. I Tried so hard to find away to help you but this time I couldn't. I know you are in a better place no more coughing. Be brave I am trying to Love Always Pam


Barney, 11/88-11/08/01

Barney passed away today at the age of 13. He took his last breath while laying on my lap. A part of me also died today, I will never find another companion like him. Unconditional love, that is all he ever gave me. I will honor him forever. He will wait for me on the Rainbow Bridge.......

Barney, 08/05/88-11/01/01

Our beloved Barney,
You gave us thirteen wonderful years. The last 6 months your body started to fail and your bones started to ache but you love and spirit did not. You gave us all such joy and companionship, Ryan and Tara grew up with you as their protector, guide and always by their side. The house is quiet now, the den is empty without your bed, we miss seeing your big brown eyes and wagging tail greeting us each morning. Dad will have to handle the backyard on his own without your company and as for me I miss our morning walks. You were dearly loved and will never be forgotten. Enjoy playing catch with all your new friends. We will see you again someday.

Love Mom, Dad, Ryan and Tara


Barney, 10/18/01

Barney 13 years old. Our beautiful, sweet natured boy has left for the Bridge. He is loved and terribly missed especially by Mark and Kate who have never known a day without Barney in their lives.

Barney was the first cat we ever had. We saved her from the local shelter as a Christmas gift for our son. She quickly became a loved member of our household, 2 dogs, fish and people. Barney was an unusual name for a female cat but my son insisted. I don't think Barney really cared. She was an interestingly patterned black and white cat the reminded many of a cow. She had a penchant for chewing telephone cords and this was her undoing. Even after many efforts to make the cords unpalatable, Barney ingested a large piece. Complications created by this prompted the decision to have her euthanised. We miss you Barney, we loves you and know that we continue to make our house a home for homeless cats. You started it all.

Barney, 04/26/82-01/16/01

Barney was a special needs dog who was rescued from a life of neglect and possible abuse. Barney first came into my life and didn't want anything to do with humans. After a few days Barney and I were inseparable. After many hours of pinning him on the floor and forcing him to let me love him that is. Barney and I became inseparable, taking him everywhere with me. I even bought a brand new station wagon and took him along to try it out before buying it. Barney had a personality all his own, and he has been greatly missed by everyone, including my three cats. One of my favorite memories of Barney is how he was such a protector of everyone and everything. He hated confrontation between people and pets. At the dog park he would always come to a dogs rescue that he believed was being picked on. He was a guardian sent from doggie heaven. In the beginning Barney was rescued by me, and in the end Barney rescued me.

Barney,

I feel lucky we had you as a friend & family member for 13 years.
You started life as the injured adorable puppy, lying there listening to the children's jeers.
And you grew to be a tribute to your breed, quelling people's fears.
Most improved in your obedience class, learning to sit and heal, caused many cheers.
You trained us not to say walk or cookies & saying "w" or "c" adheres.
I remember your love of truck rides & your ability to balance with the shifting gears.
A constant companion, I will miss your handsome red face in my rear view mirrors.
You shared our hobbies, including hanging out at race tracks including PIR, Laguna Seca and Sears.
But when I was troubled, I always had your listening ears.
An unselfish boy, you donated blood to your canine peers.
You loved Christmas, the boxes and treats, even visted Santa and his reindeers.
You only disliked the vaccum, baths and nail trims - both front and rears.
Always the life of the slummber party, I will miss having them with you as Todd's travel time nears.
The salsa and chips were never to spicy, you didn't have to cool your tongue as I did with beers.
Other favorite foods included burgers or pizza or whatever else was within your food radar spears.
For all of this we lovingly called you "Bman", "Barn Dog" and "BaaKnee", funny names for one who so endears.
Still you learned to share your people and home with foster dogs with only an occasssional leers.
Now seeing your empty space by the gate, where you would wait for our return, & my heart veers.
The thought of not playing ball or hearing you "speak", brings me to tears.
Though beleiving that you and your "Clyde" are together again, my heavy heart clears.
It is forever a Barney World, your presence made this earth one of the beautiful spheres.

WIth all our love,
Chris and Todd Cook


Barney Boy, 07/17/93-01/27/01

Barney you were the highlight of my life. I will never forget our long summer walks at the beach with Katie. All the fun and laughter you brough into our lifes. Go in peace knowing that we love you and you will never be forgotten. You will always live in our hearts. We will miss you and hope that some day to see you again. Love you always, Aimeth, Kevin & Katie

I ache for you to be back here. Please wait for us. We miss you very very much and want you back, darling. You gave us so much.

Baron, 03/28/91-03/09/01

Baron, my life without you seems so different there is a void as big as the sky, God sent his angles to take you and I'm still wondering why. Baron I don't need a special day to bring you to my mind, the days I don't think of you are very hard to find. Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone and no one knows the sadness as I try to carry on, my heart still aches with pain I can not describe. The tears still flow in secret and in show, what it meant to lose one one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill, in life I loved you dearly in death I love you still. Your 10 years here on earth was the best I'll ever see, you were my soul mate, my loyal friend, you were there through the tuff times and always by my side, your life ended so quick in a mater of seconds you were gone, I did every thing to save you, I would have give everything I own. Air you could not breathe so I tried to give you my own. You laid your little head on my arm and I know you were gone, but now I know where you have gone and one day we will be together again. I love and miss you so much so until then, your mom.

Bart (Little One), 04/14/00-12/13/01

He was so little, but so sick. He was given only a short time to be with us, but he was so dearly loved. He is missed horrifically by his mom (me), my son Joe and his heart sister Loni (cat). He is being silly someplace else, now, but he'll be playing in our hearts forever. I love you Little One. I always will.

Bart, 11/15/01

You were the best cat anyone could ever have. We love you and miss you with all our hearts. We are very happy to have been blessed with you for 12 years.

Bart, 04/91-10/09/01

Our Bart died suddenly and unexpectedly Tuesday night -- we found him dead on the floor in the laundry room. It was so, so unexpected and I just have no clue how I am going to pick up the pieces and move on. If I could just turn back the clock and if we had known that Tuesday night would have been your last hours with us, we would've talked to you, loved you, held you, but instead we took the evening and your presence for granted. Bart, I hope you knew how much you were loved -- you've left an emptiness here. Everywhere I look, I can just imagine you there. At night, I swear I can hear you eating your food. I realized the other night that we now have no reason to leave the blinds open in the bedroom -- you aren't there to look out the window.

Roses with babies breath and ribbons have been placed on your grave. A grave marker has been ordered. I really hope you know that you were so loved. We built a casket and buried you at 2am Wednesday morning. Your Granny Christian was there with us. You are buried beside Spooky and I hope you two found each other.

You will be forever missed! Thank you for the years of companionship.

Eric and Amy


Bart, 06/15/01

He was a very lovable dog. He was very sweet and he had a really good life. We all miss him and know he is very happy at Rainbow Bridge. He was very nice and everything else that describes good. We love you Bart!

Vanessa Sanchez


Bart, 04/25/01

Bart was happy 'til the end even when he was sick, weak, and devastated he still managed to raise his silly ears, and give his wrinkled-head bart look. His suffering had to end and although I look back with guilt and regrets I realize he has now moved on over the Rainbow Bridge.

Batty/Burakku, 11/00

He/She (never got a chance to check its gender because it was a bat) was found laying on the ground and appeared to be a "turd" and I was looking for nature things for an art class and joking about collecting "turds" as nature. Then, I saw the bat and walked to it and said, "Here's a turd!" I looked more closely and discovered it had fur. Then, I saw it breathing and I looked under it's stomach at its wings and knew it was a bat. My mom thought it was dead but I noticed it wasn't so we took it home because it seemed to have some potential of becoming better. Sadly, it never became better and died.

For Baxter, Who died on May 26, 2000.
It will soon be a year since you have left us. We still miss you so, I expect that that will never change. We have another boy in our lives now, but he is his own fellow and would never replace you, I wouldn't allow it. I just want you to know how much we love and miss you. You will always be in our hearts and will live on in our memories. You are our Baxter Boy, Love, Mom, Dad and family

Baxter Park Preuss, 12/31/89-05/18/01

Baxter, Your Mommy and Daddy will always love you and think of you all the time. You were our life's joy and a constant source of love and affection. Our 9 years together went much too quickly. I miss your woo-wooing for breakfast at 6 a.m. already but am up every morning to make sure your brother, Dempsey, doesn't forget. It is much too quiet at home without you talking to me all the time. I miss your gazing at me with love and your sweet kisses when you know I needed them. Grandpa will be at a loss when he comes to visit and babysit.

Baxter you are the rock in my life and your Mommy will always remember all the great times and memories we have shared.

I miss you and I Love You, big boy!


Baxter the Kitty, 7/12/99-5/11/01

We will miss you very much. We promise to keep singing to you because even though you won't come running any longer, we know you can still hear us. I have your bowl and collar which I will keep with your Mother's Day card and your picture. We are very sorry Baxter, it was an accident and it was our fault...you did know better and we didn't listen. Forever singing to you...Baxter the Kitty...you will never be forgotten and will always be missed. Love your Mommy and Daddy XOXOXOXO (Todd and Ericka Koester)


Bazil, 03/06/97-1998

Monty misses you, Baz. He's a big cat now but he'll never forget his brother. I love you so, so much. I prayed so hard for you to come home that night. It hurts to see you in Monty's soft, gentle eyes. I love you, and I know I'll join you on the Rainbow Bridge one day.

My precious BB a beautiful white short haired cat. She was so small because she had Leukemia and was on so much medicine to keep her immune system up. Interferon for life. I just wish it had been a much longer life. It has been one week and one day since you died in my arms, and my heart is still broken, I go out and visit your grave, it is in my lilac garden in the middle of my yard, when I leave for work and when I come home, it seems just can't let you go, I see you everywhere, your little 3 pound delicate body. You always slept with me and snuggled, the other cats trey to fill the void, especially your sister Tybee, but no one can, they help, but it is not the same.
I had you for one short year but you gave me so much love. I think because you were ill and had to be treated differently than the others and you were so tiny that I just had to protect you. I still feel like my heart is ripped and may never heal. I haven't felt like this since I lost Noel (my beautiful poodle-terrier of 18 years) I have always had animals but some are just so special they are like your children.
BB I will always love and miss you, I just hope the hurt fades some soon, I still cry over you and I want to touch that soft white fur and look at those beautiful eyes, I want to feel you curl up on my shoulder when we sleep. I know this may sound silly to some people, but I truly loved you and will always think of you my sweet beautiful BB. I love you now and always....Nancy

My first pet as an adult, and truly my best friend.
He took everything in stride, the relocations, the cats brought into his established territory, all the changes.
Simply unflappable.
In November 2000, my buddy was diagnosed with a sarcoma in the liver. On January 2, 2001,10am MST he lost his fight.
He was my cat, but is a very much missed member of my family, never to be replaced.

Dearest Beamer- Today your buddy Yipper joined you in a better world. I know you were there to greet her. Although you have been gone for several years, I have not forgotten you. Thank you...both of you, for being my constant companions...my travel mates...forgive me for not giving you a stable home. You were always loved, and never left behind...and maybe, there in heaven you can tell stories of your travels.
May God protect both of you. I will always love you...it is my deepest hope to see you both again one day. Love, Marie


Bean, 11/09/01

I received Bean from an elderly woman who no longer wanted her. "Beauty", as she was then called, was about a year old. My husband and I already had two dogs, but I thought I could find her a nice home. When I brought her home that day after work, my husband took her in his arms and exclaimed, "please tell me she's ours!" And that was it. He decided to call her Bean.
Years flew by, and she was so healthy and happy. She had the personality of a spitfire, yet she was so loving and sweet. Bean loved to give kisses and snuggle under our blankets.
Yesterday morning she was taken from us by a coyote. We will miss her greatly. She will always be with us in our memories. Whenever we get the chance, we will tell someone about her, and how much happiness she brought to our lives. We miss you Bean.

Bean, 06/25/01

I bought Bean when my fiancée and I were breaking up.(I didn't want to be alone.) I never dreamed that it would hurt more losing Bean than it would losing my fiancée. As all animals do, they love you no matter what and all that they want from you is to take care of them. As his death is still new to me, I find myself calling for him when I get home and am actually surprised when he is not there. I am, unfortunately, surrounded by people who do not understand what it is like to lose a pet that has become such a part of your life. Oh, if I had a dollar for everytime someone said " It's only a gerbil! I will buy you a new one if it will make you feel better." Regardless of what he was, he helped me get over a tough time and I came to rely on him as much as he relied on me. I hope that he is now not suffering from the cancer that he had and I hope that he will carry my love for him wherever he is. Thank you again.......Debbie.

She was the best dog in the world and we miss her very much. We give thanks everyday for her unconditional love.

Please be at peace, my beloved.

BEAR,
You were so loved by your family. Your cute ways and such total devotion and you took your job/responsibility as "Protector" very serious...we love you for that fierce loyalty.
Those beautiful and soulful brown eyes will never be forgotten. The constant companionship was appreciated much more than words can express. Your presence is still felt in your favorite chair, while on walks through the garden, and as we enter our door.
We thank God for the love we shared with you,
Your loving family....Mom, Willie, & Diane


Bear, 06/08/97-08/10/01

Bear was a friend to all and his heart was large enough for two dogs. We found out that he must have had very strong heart because it had to compensate for a very small left ventricle. Bear never showed signs of tiredness and was active and energetic up to the moment he died.

Bear, you taught us that there is no weather too lousy to take a walk in and that if the sun comes up, then it must be a great day! You are missed every day Bear and we will never forget your smile.

With much love,

Michelle and Jen


Bear (NightHawk), 1979 or 1980 - 09/27/00

Dearest Bear I miss you so much, but want you to know that I did learn one quality from you: courage.
You shared completely with me for the last six years of your life.
Dear companion, soul-mate, I want you to know that you touched many others as well. You are free now of that wornout body that so gallantly struggled to stay alive for me- over the last three years.
Despite your deteriorating body, your Spirit showed unimaginable strength and resilience til the end.
Thank-you for that one last walk to the rose garden, when you were so weak.
I am remembering you now as you once were- when you used to leap in the air spry as a wolf and sound your delight. I will always remember our singing sessions. I rejoice in your freedom now where I imagine you frolicking, instigating play with other Spirit dogs and howling-singing to your heart's content. Wait for me Bear.

I love you, my forever dog.
Judy

P.S. I sent this poem to friends to notify them of your passing:
It is by Mary Oliver.

...Every year
everything
I have ever learned
in my lifetime
leads back to this:
the fires and the black river of loss
whose other side is
salvation
whose meaning
none of us will ever know
To live in this world
You must be able
to do three things.
to love what is mortal,
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it,
and when the time comes
to let it go,
to let it go.


Bear, 11/22/93-07/02/01

Our Dear Handsome Bear,
I cannot describe the love and compassion I feel for you this morning. My heart is heavy and Brian's is too.
You have been so brave and strong but you've told me that your time has come to join your friends at the Rainbow Bridge....especially Kooch. You are ready for the pain to stop and I am sorry that there has been so much confusion and discomfort during these past few weeks. I know it has been difficult for you with your Brian away on his biking trip, because you guys share a very special bond. But Brian is "here" with us today, for you ~~~ our precious Regal Bear. We both Love you with all our hearts, as you have Loved us, so unconditionally.
You seemed to really enjoy your fresh chicken with scrambled eggs this morning-along with a frosty paw and a chew bone. It has been the greatest gift to have you in our lives and in our hearts. We promise to keep you there, always.
May God Bless You and Comfort You in your final hour and grant you everlasting Peace and Joy!
Something no other loyal friend deserves more than You, our handsome Boy.
May all the pain be released and replaced with pure happiness and freedom to run and play...forever.
We will miss you baby, more than you know...thank you for giving us a million memories to hold onto.
Please give Koochy-bear our Love and now that you're together again, we are truly blessed to have the Greatest guardian angels...in the whole world. Watch over me and Brian and your little sisters and know that we will all be together again someday...meeting at the bridge ~~ and Bear, I will surely be desperate for one of your great big teddy bear Hugs!
"The most precious of all possessions is a wise and loyal friend" God Bless you Bear~~~WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY! Love, Mom, Brian, Phaedra & Tobi


Bear, 10/06/87-07/04/01

Bear you will be missed by everyone who ever met you, you were a nasty guy when we first saw you at the shelter, but through the years you became a very strong link in our family, you're family was lucky enough to be with you when you left for your journey to Rainbow Bridge to join all of your other family and friends that have passed before you. I love you my special kitty and will always have you in my heart, thank you for sharing your life with us.

Bear, 05/24/01

We lost a special friend yesterday. His name was Bear. We adopted him 9 years ago from golden rescue. He was from a home that didn't want to make time for him. He was kept in a cage and very unhappy. We miss his tail wagging and his love of everyone. He was a great looking boy. Here is his picture http://www.monmouth.com/~chefprovs/bear/bear2.jpg We know he is in a special place. He died of cancer and will surely be missed.

Bear, 05/12/91-05/15/01

To my Bearz..my friend..and my companion.
You know that you are missed as much as you were wanted & loved.
I am trusting that you are playing & having a wonderful time & when its my time to meet you on the bridge you will come running when you hear "mommy's home, where's my Bearz?" and we'll be back together again for always. Thanks for doing such a good job.
Rest easy my friend. You did good.

Denise Dahlheimer


Bear, 07/25/85-05/07/97

Hello Bear,
Today marks the fourth year you left us for the bridge. I still miss you, and will be so glad to see you again after I leave this place for the better one you are at. We added another addition to the family big boy. His name is Gulliver, and we rescued him last October. He is so much like you that I get chills. He gives me Bear hugs, and the " High Five" paw just like you use to. Of course he and Obe love to run and play in the back yard. I would give a lot to be able to watch all three of you play together, but that wont happen until we all meet at the Bridge someday. We all miss you big boy. Mom and Jamie maybe not as much because you and I were together a lot longer, but I know they remember you in their own special way. Your picture still hangs by the clock on the computer hutch. I still think back 10 or 12 years ago when you were my only life line for a while, but what's even better is now I remember the good special times like the car rides you used to love so much, or playing Frisbee. I guess that means healing along with some grieving. Be at peace big friend. Run and play and do all the things you couldn't do in the end. Most of all know I love you. Watch over your new brothers, big goofballs that they are and know I think of you.
All our love
Dad, Mom, Jamie, Obe, and Gulliver

Bear,
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon you, the rains fall softly around you. May god and the Bridge hold you in the palm of their hands until we meet again. It's been a long four years big boy since that awful day you passed over to the bridge. I thought I would go with you for a while as you were my lifeline to the world 11 or 12 years ago. I still grieve at special times, but I know you are watching over Mom, Jamie, Obe, Gulliver, and Myself. Obe and Gulliver are wonderful. So much like you that I almost call them Bear every now and then. But there will never be another Sheepdog like you. Gulliver is so very close to you. He does so many of the things you used to like Bearhugs and kisses. He could be your little brother. To think we rescued him from someone who may have put him down at less then a year old for no reason makes me think you had a hand in it Big Boy. We love you and miss you. You will always be our Bear. Run and play until we see you again Big boy.
All our love!!
Dad, Mom, Jamie, Obe and Gulliver

My sweet little Bear. You took a piece of my heart with you when you passed away. I will always love you.

Bear, 02/18/95-01/22/01

We'll miss you buddy. You brought such joy and laughter to our lives with that personality of yours. I know you are in a special happy place now, free of any pain and suffering. Thanks for all the wonderful memories you bring to our hearts. We love you dearly. Mommy and Daddy

Bearish, 09/99-10/15/01

My best friend in the world! She was born during hurricane Floyd and lived just as vigorously! She never bit anyone and had the most unbelievable temperament! I will forever miss brushing her and driving her around in my Barbie remote control car (with the dog chasing her). I will miss holding her (whenever I wanted to), trying to dress her up (the clothes didn't always fit), and just watching her!
I know that she is up there with her family and friends having a party and looking better than I remember. But, I can't help missing her!

Cara


Beau, 10/12/81-01/04/94

Beau, a rather large German Shepherd, was my closest companion. His love and loyalty brought me through some of the toughest times in my life. I know that God gave me this special friend and I will be seeing him on the Bridge when God too calls me home. Until then my friend.

Beau

IN MEMORY OF BEAU

“Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me. “Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I might lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would like me to learn.

“Speak to me often, for your voice is the world’s sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when I hear your footsteps upon my waiting ear.

“Please take me inside when it is cold for and wet, for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements, I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

“Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I can’t tell you when I’m thirsty.

“Feed me clean food that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life.

“And my friend, when I and very old, or no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having any fun. Please see to it that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands”.

Beau, 12/21/91-5/9/01

Beau was my best friend and very much part of the family. He was always by my side whether I was in the house or outside he was there with me. He greeted me when I came home, even now I expect him to come running to greet me. He is very much loved and missed. He is always in my thoughts. It was a very sad day when he pass on.
Love and miss you old friend
Mom


Beau (Bozzy), 01/20/85-05/24/01

Darling Beau Bozzy, miss you so very much. You bought such joy and laughter into our hearts. We had a special bond. You used to wait for me Eveready, until I came home from work and greet me with your special siamese meow, very loud welcome! You were my special "lapcat" We had other cats, but you were my special darling boy. I'm sorry I couldn't prolong your life, but you had heart and kidney problems, too much for you at the end. You filled our life with happiness for sixteen years and everyone misses you.
Kathie, David, Mat and Tim


Beau, 1977-2000

Even though our wonderful Beau left us last year our hearts are still breaking inside for him, he was the best friend anyone could ever have.


Beau, 05/00-03/01/01 Camera Icon

My little angel Beau,
You were only with us for a short time, but left such an empty place in my heart. I miss you already. Such a sweet girl, you tried so hard to please me even with your leukemia so advanced you could barely stand up and walk. You stayed with me on my lay, so content, knowing how much I loved you. I am so sorry you suffered so, but am so glad Friskie Moolie-Moo found you before he left so I could take care of you. You had such an adorable personality, and in the end fought so hard to stay with Gorby and me. I will always remember you and hope you are now at peace with Friskie Moolie-Moo, Simba, Raisa, Loki, and Sweets. Your brothers and sisters will all miss you Beau, the sweetest of them all!
Love Mommie Sid and Gorby


Beau, 12/28/93-12/30/00

He brought a lot joy, love and happiness into my home. He was my best friend, he loved to play, never bit anyone except when he was playing, never was in a mean mood, he always came and put his head on your lap or follow you around when you were mad or sad, he was always happy and full of spirit, he was the best dog, I will really miss him, but I will not let one day go by when I don't think about him he will always be a part of me.

How I wish I had know yesterday would be the last time we would laugh together. Beauchamp was my little clown. Never to be replaced. You are so special. I love you.

Shannon


Beau Geste, 12/7/88-1/6/01

Beau was simply the best, ever loving and ever loyal. He always had that Golden Retriever smile and his tail was never still. His love was unconditional and the greatest tribute I can give to him is to say "me, too", I loved him unconditionally with all my heart.....I will not say good-bye old friend, for I know that we will be together again, so until that time I will always keep you in my heart and in my soul. Enjoy your rest my faithful friend and brother...I love you!


Beaujolais (Bo Bo), 08/88-04/01

Bo Bo, my beloved and special friend - never to be forgotten. I'm sorry I allowed you to stay longer than I should have, but I just couldn't "let go". You brought me and games so much joy. You are in a better place now, with games...... Until we are all together again, I miss and love you both!! Lori


Beaumont, 05/20/91-10/22/01

Beaumont was a great loving spirit. His unconditional love will be an everlasting inspiration.

Joe


Beaumont, 10/21/85-03/02/01

Beaumont - you gave Russ and I over 14 years of faithful companionship. You never asked for much in return and will always be loved and missed by both of us.

Gary & Russ


Beauregard, 07/24/90-7/24/01

In my arms in Slidell, Louisiana. He died of congestive heart failure. His brother Sherman and I miss him terribly but he's free of pain now. I will always love my baby boy.

Rita Fleenor


Beauregard

Beau,
During our time as best friends, you kept me going day and nite..waiting to walk you in the morning, feed you eggs mixed with dog food; come home to your wagging waiting tail. Beau, my need for your friendship has left me paralyzed right now...You were my first taproot at life...run well and with the big dogs up there..like you did here...I will miss and love you forever...


Beauregard Purrsey Catnip Snider, 07/19/01

Beau you were always so special. I knew you were on borrowed time. I am so grateful for the years we had. I will miss kissing your incredibly kissable face. I hope you had a great life. Please know how much we miss your little inky paws. I'll always love you.

Mommy


Beauregard Sumner (Beau), 04/14/92-07/10/01

A tribute to my Beau:
You were my special beau, the love of my life. Did you know it? Did I show you how much you meant to me? I miss those big brown eyes looking at me..following me as I crossed a room. I will miss your special ways. The way you always backed out of a room. How you would never beg for food at the table but if there was food on the table and we were not at the table you thought it was "fair game". The day you ate all of papa's halibut...after all he wasn't sitting at the table eating it!..So it must have been for you! How you looked at life. You took everything in stride. Our 2000 mile trip to a new home...what an adventure! I remember how you could not get enough of those ear rubs. We would rub so hard that our arms hurt but still you wanted more. Those heavy sighs...oh how I miss that sound. Our bedroom is so silent now. You had no problem letting us know which side of the bed was yours. How you never complained about the pain that you were in for so many years is a wonder. Even at the end..when you were slowly dying and we did not know it, you never let on. You are and will always be a true Newfoundland. A gentle giant, forever loving and trusting. You were my friend, my confident and my true source of joy. When I talk to you now, I hope you hear me and know now how much I loved you. With you gone a part of me is also gone and I know that I will never be the same. Thank you for allowing me the chance to have memories that I will forever treasure. Thank you for picking us to be your family. We were so very lucky and it gives me great comfort to know that you are watching over us and waiting for us to join you. I pray that you are having fun and running and playing ..something that you have not been able to do for so many years. I hope your pain is gone and that you will forgive us if we kept you with us longer than you wished. Please understand that you were loved so much that we could not imagine a life without you. Life does go on, but it will never be the same. I miss you Beau and if I could have only one wish granted in my lifetime it would be to see and hold you one more time.
This is my tribute to my Beau.

Carrie

Beauty, 04/11/01

Beauty was a three legged sweet heart at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. She touch us dearly and we miss her tremendously. Of the hundreds we watch over, Beauty was a needle in a haystack. She will always be with us in our dreams. We loved Beauty dearly and mourn that we couldn't do more for her. In the end, she was held and hugged, maybe showing her something we should have done while she was in this world.

Larry and Marna


Beaux, 01/90-02/24/01

Mommy and daddy love you so very much. You are the best doggie God ever made. You are in our hearts forever. We will never forget you. You will always be our baby.

To our baby Beave,
You brought special joy to us as you were the first bird we ever hand fed we had a special love. You are now with your sisters Cleave and Pickles.
We will always love you and you will always be in our hearts.
Love, Mommy & Daddy


Beavis, 01/19/01

Beavis, a Samoyed, had a kind heart and a gentle manner with all creatures, great and small. He taught me a lot with his gentleness, his patience and his kindness. He will be remembered, missed and celebrated.

Patrick Elliot


Bebe, 03/84

I am adding this cat in memory of my mother Winnie Rich. This was not just a cat he was family. My mom fed him with an eye dropper every few hours to keep him alive. He was 3 days old when he came into our family and lived to be 18 yrs. old. Bebe knew everyone in my family better than we knew ourselves. Talk about love none can compare with the love this cat has shown our family. So I dedicate this to my MOM, because she would have placed this herself but she past away from cancer last June.

Winnie Burckhard


Bebo, 02/07/99-10/04/01

Goodbye, little girl. Sweet dreams. You'll always live in my heart. You weren't in this world very long, but I'm grateful for every hour you were with me. I love you, little one. I miss you terribly. Please be happy and warm and well.

Stephanie Stark


Bebop, 01/13/01

My tribute for Bebop is that he was the crankiest bird I ever met, but with me Bebop was gentle and just wanted to loved on. I miss him greatly, Bebop was my best friend, the first bird I had ever owned. I feel as if a part of me has died along with Bebop. Bebop I love you and you will be missed dearly.


Becky, 12/00

This tribute is for my friend Sharon who lost her beloved "Becky" during the Christmas season of 2000. Becky was also my friend and one of the most darling dogs I have ever met. She lived a good long life and died at a very old age. Her mother was very good to her. I hope she finds my baby, Georgia who was also taken from me in March of 2000. May they both rest in peace knowing they will always be very loved and very missed until we all meet again someday.

Beethovan, 07/31/01

I just want to say Thanks for being such a good friend. I have Epilepsy and Basilar Artery Migraines, they can cause a stroke. He would stay by my side through each one, and then go and get my husband when he would come home from work.
I was truly blessed to have him as my dog for the last 7 years.
We put him to sleep because he had lymphatic cancer.

I really missed him this morning when I woke up.

Andie


Beijing, 09/22/94-07/17/01

Beijing, you loved to chase chipmunks and your dog frog. You loved to chase neighbor cats and car wash brushes. You would jump in the bathtub and then look at me demandingly until I turned on the water so you could drink. Your human pack members were so well trained you didn’t have to use the toilet. You converted me from a strict cat lover into a cat and dog lover. I could only ignore your compete adoration for just so long. Not many people have their first dog love affair at age 55 with a hairless dog they didn't even want. It's an agonizing thing to learn about the rainbow bridge, but I wouldn't trade our time together. Just once more I wish I could call “COME!”, and watch in exasperation as you ignore me or hear your lonesome howl as I leave home without you. Sleep well my darling woofer-barker. Keep those ghostly chipmunks on their toes. I will miss you all of my days. Nancy


Beijing, 06/19/86-01/22/01

He was a special boy, my Schmoo. He couldn't walk any more, but he's romping at the Rainbow bridge with his friends, whom he apparently had a lot of. I miss him very much already.

Andrea Rainey


Bella, 11/27/00

We lost our beloved Bella a beautiful 9 year old cream colored Persian girl with copper eyes on the Monday after the Thanksgiving, 2000 holiday. She came to us later in her life as a neighbor, a friend and then a beloved family member. Tomorrow we will celebrate her memory and hold her always in our hearts. Our tribute to her is provided here as an attachment. If you cannot open it or it doesn't transfer please call or email and we will again send it. Thank you so much for providing this avenue for us to share the wonderful kitty that was too briefly ours. We are extremely grateful to all those who supported and consoled us in are time of grief and are consoled to see the widespread network of compassionate and caring humans who helped us directly and collectively through the Rainbow Bridge. Thanks again, Diane DePould, Steve Wegner


Bella, 7/3/01

This is for my friend, Susan, who's beloved Bella went to the Bridge this week. Susan and Bella had a very special and beautiful relationship and I'm certain they will be reunited at the Bridge one day.


Bella, 03/17/01-07/04/01

I loved her so much.

Debby Hemstock


Bella, 06/23/01

We miss our baby-girl, crab-cake, Bella Luca. We were better as three, and will see you again one day.
Love Mommy & Daddy


Bella, 04/23/01

To the sweetest, most beautiful companion. You comforted me like no one else could. I miss you terribly and hope you are running freely now. I love you, Mommy


Bella (Willie), 08/20/96-03/24/01

Our Beautiful Bella
We Love You so very much and we will miss you dearly you and your funny ways. You brought us so much love and happiness and I just can't believe you're gone. I see you Everywhere, and I remember your playfulness, your crazyness and how much you loved us. We know you did. I know you are in kitty heaven right now. I pray to God that you went to him peacefully. Please visit me in my dreams and tell me you're all right. You were the best pet Papa and I ever had. Thank you for taking care of John Crew, he loves you and misses you too. We have lots of pictures of you to remind us of your beauty and have made you a nice resting place in the back yard under the fern where you pretended to be a tiger. Oh I wish I could pet you and hold you in my arms right now. Till we meet again Dear Bella, I will call "Willie, Willie Where are you?" All Our Love, Your Family, Lisa, Jeff, and John Crew.


Belle, 11/25/95-08/27/00

Belle,
I miss you so much. I miss seeing you hang your head out of the passenger side window as if showing me the way to go.
You were much too sweet to die from such a horrible disease as cancer. I will see you on the Bridge.

Bill Bedford


Belle, 03/19/95-02/17/98

Dear Little Belle,

If I could only go back in time I would take away the illness that took you from us. I wanted so bad for you to get well but when you didn't respond to treatments I knew what I had to do. I just could not bear to watch you suffer any longer. My soul shattered the day you died and I don't think I will ever stop grieving for you. My only consolation is knowing you are at Rainbow Bridge where you are whole again. I love you sweet baby and we will all be together again someday. I promise!

Love Mama and Daddy


Belle, 01/01/94-01/25/01

BELLE
1994-1/25/2001
Belle was a Dwarf Netherland rabbit that I got for Michele when she was a freshman in High School. She had recently lost Buster, a white and tan flop-eared rabbit, and Belle was just the ticket to make her feel better.

Belle was so cute and petite, with a little round body, small pointed ears and a face like Jiminy Cricket! I often said that if she could speak she would sound like Snow White - she was so feminine. Her color was bluish-gray. She liked to snuggle in my lap with Buddy (the cat) purring and nudging her ever so slightly. She didn't like it when Buddy playfully bit her (with a soft mouth), but that was his way of loving. When I held her I felt like I held an infant and called her my "little piece of plunder". She is immortalized in two family paintings along with Dylan and her siblings, Buddy and Perkins.

Her absolute favorite thing to eat was oatmeal - she pushed when I filled the dish and gobbled it up. Her second favorite was apples, sliced and cored. She preferred timothy (a type of hay) over alfalfa but also dined on alfalfa rabbit pellets. She did not like carrots - what a silly rabbit!

I held her softly on our last morning together, gave her clean cardboard to rest on and played soft Christian music so that the last thing she heard was an angelic choir as she was passing to the other side. After she died, I lined her burial box with fresh cut flowers and Michele and I buried her in the field adjacent to the apartment complex with a large stone as the marker. I will miss her because she was part of my earthly paradise at Hunter's Glen, but am confident I will see her again in our much greater Paradise in Eternity. She rests there today.

Michele & Stephanie Spencer


Belly, 06/22/92-09/05/01

My Bell was the world to me. He was my reason for waking, someone to come home to, and my most amazing friend and being.

I can not begin to say how much he is missed!

Michele


Ben, 04/26/86-10/29/01

Dear my best partner,

You've just gone away today, and it still hasn't come to me yet. I hope you're now free from all the pain you've suffered since a month ago when you were diagnosed as prostatic cancer.
I'll never forget the 15 1/2 years with you,
and all the love and special moments you gave me.
I think you're at the rainbow bridge now, running around and eating and drinking just the way you did when you were healthy.
I hope to meet you again over here. Till then, just jump into my dreams whenever you like to play with me.

My Love Forever,
Yuka


Ben, 03/08/01

He had many physical problems but rallied through them all for 13 1/2 years till he finally went to the Rainbow Bridge for a well deserved rest.

Jim & Terri Burton


Ben, 28/07/01

Bye bye Ben. Your life was cut off in its prime and we are hurting so bad because of the injustice. May God damn the person who was responsible. I hope you didn't suffer, little one. I'm missing you so much and so are Mum and Nan. We're missing you purring and fussing us for a stroke. The friendliest little cat, I hope you are having a good time with Mac and Charlie and someday I'll see at Rainbow Bridge. I love you, Benny.

Julianne Bonner


Ben, 1984-07/13/01

Ben was my best friend. I shall miss him forever. As much as people are trying to make it easier for me, this was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and want so much to have the best dog in the world back at my side.

Ben, 06/28/01

In Memory Of "Ben"

Tragically taken as a result of an accident, aged 4 months.
Beloved brother of Goody and foe of Dusty the dawg.

Ben - Our Lion Kitty - Ben you entered our lives for such a short time - but you know how much we all adored you! You arrived an itty bitty kitty riddled with fleas. We took care of you and know in our hearts how much you loved being part of our family. We miss you. We understand what happened - was it a rabbit you were chasing? What a fearless kitty you were.

Ben - your sister is so sad that you are no longer here. She looks for you. She tried to tell us where you were but we couldn't quite understand what it was she was telling us. Rest assured we will take care of her.

Now resting over the Rainbow Bridge with Maddy cat.

~We set you free big boy~ Love Mum, Dad, Mike, Lib and Goody XXXXX


Ben, 05/13/01

when you left our world we became engulfed by darkness and emptiness as the angels wept for the loss of their own.
Time passed slowly with the heavy burden of our hearts but slowly the memory of happy times together are beginning to emerge.
Take care and roam freely and in peace our special little Ben. Till we meet again, love and think of you always
your Mum, Dad and Kim xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ben, 02/06/01

I am going to miss you so much Ben. You came to me as an abused bunny and I took you in and grew to love you so much. I hope you were happy here with me. I will never forget you. You will always be special to me. You are so brave and you always were. I hope you have found all the other bunnys I have in the afterlife. Stay with them and I will see you again some day. Now you can run and leap like you used to do here. I love you Benjamin.xxxxxxx

Ben, 01/24/01

Ben-ben: I can't believe I'm writing your tribute so soon after Martha's. One month ago you were both with me, and now you are both gone from my life here on earth. I hope you forgive me; it was an accident, my little buddy. I was trying to help you; at least I am sure you didn't hurt. You were my sweetest, gentlest cat. You had dignity and kindness in equal portions. I will miss how you would jump on my leg and stretch out; I will miss you waiting patiently for your food in the morning. We were together for a long time, and of all my cats, you were the most accepting and patient with the children. Kiss Martha for me, and cuddle up with her. And wait for me with her, and Daphne, and Zeke, and all the others. My little Ben, with the beautiful sea-green eyes.

Ben, 01/01/90-12/29/00

Ben, You were there for me when no one else was, You helped me through my divorce, the depression, remember halloween, when I sneezed, and I miss your personallity. I just miss you so much. Cody does too. I hope you are without pain, have plenty of treats and someone plays your favorite game of fetch with you. I love and miss you soooooo much. Love mom

Benelli, 05/01/01-12/14/01

Nelli, we will miss u so very much . I'm so sorry that u had to leave us so soon. We were just learning about one another . U were the happiest puppy anyone could of known
always full of love. We love u so very much and u will never be forgotten baby. Please watch over us, we will be together again someday.
Nelli-I hope that the time we spent together and the love and happiness we shared as a family made up for the awful way you began this life...I feel like god gave us to you to show you the way true love feels because he didn't want to let you leave this earth with only sadness and abuse...I hope that we fulfilled that promise we made to you to do that...maybe that is why god took you to him, because the love he wanted you to have was given and he knew he could take you and you would have had love and happiness.
We love you and miss you and always will, and hopefully you are running in green pastures, chasing squirrels and rolling around in the grass...and hopefully someone is there to rub your belly like you love and to kiss your little face and nibble on your floppidy ears and to smell you stinky feet! We love you and will remember the happiness you brought to us and to trooper who misses you so much to, he goes outside and stands at the gate waiting for you-someday we will all be together again but in the meantime, be happy my baby girl and know that mommy and daddy love you and miss you each day.

With all of our love,
Mommy and Daddy, Morgan and Dylan and Trooper.

Be happy and be free.

Jeffrey & Tracey Wood


Bengie, 04/30/01

We said goodbye to our bud yesterday. Our hearts are heavy. Our eyes swollen with sadness. We cannot believe the emptiness we are left with. He was such a dog! Tougher than nails. He coped with every disadvantage that came his way. He lived with us for 17 years, our final decision took months... He left us in seconds. Bye good buddy, we love you.

You showered those who knew you with love and affection and you are truly mourned by many - most of all your grieving family. We have received so many cards and calls, a true testament to your loving nature and all the goodness that you brought to the world.
You fought so hard to recover from cancer, you were so brave, but Mommy felt it was your time to join her and we didn't want you to suffer. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do but it was my true gift of love to let you go free from pain. I miss you every moment of every day. You will always be my baby boy and I will carry you in my heart forever and ever.
I know that you followed the light as I told you and that Mommy was waiting for you. I know that you feel the love that we send to you and feel the love of our beloved family members who are with you now.
Benji, my beloved little gray guy, thank you for the light and love that you brought to us. I miss you more than it is bearable. I love you forever and ever - XOXO, Sissie

In Honor of Whitey and Benjamin
Samantha, Sarah & Gray
and all our lost loving fur family members)

Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have been loved at all.
--Tennyson
(Thanks for loving us Benjamin and blessing us with your spirit. You were absolutely the most beautiful cat I have ever had. Your loving ways took over our home. Thank you, baby Boygin.)

Dedicated to Whitey and Benjamin:
I went to the woods because I wish to live deliberately.
To front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn all it had to teach and not,
When I came to die
Discover that I had not lived.
--Thoreau

You both stole our hearts from the start with the unconditional love you poured out of your little hearts.
We will forever love you and miss your presence. Before we meet in Heaven, please feel free to grace us with your presence in our dreams. We will look for you sweet Benjamin and Whitey Bear. You were the best boys a mom could ever ask for and you did your job: you were cute and lovable.

All animals are without sin so I am certain you will be in Heaven to make sure your dad and I get in, my dear boys. Whitey and Ben, be good and take care of the others and love one another. You both are the Kitty Managers up there. I hope you are playing with Gray, Samantha and Sarah Smile. I will always love you, Whitester and Benjamin and please know you will always have a most special spot in our hearts forever and ever. Our first babies that we both got to love as a couple together. Thank you for the experiences of love that you blessed us with. Whitey, thank you for loving me and Daddy, especially. You were his man. Thank you Benjamin for loving me so very much and opening up your huge heart to let us all in. You were the most loving cats. Our two boy angels. I hope I was half as good and sweet as you both were. Hope to see you soon, baby boys. We love you with all our hearts. Forever, Mom and Dad

Benji, 04/26/83-04/14/01

Benji you've been part of our lives for almost 18 wonderful years. You have given us nothing but love, enjoyment, and happiness for all these years. We miss you terribly but we know that you're not suffering anymore and we're thankful for that. 18 years is a very long time for a dog to live and we were very blessed to have you with us for that long. Please know that you are constantly in our thoughts and that life won't be the same without you. However we have 18 beautiful years of memories. Benji we love you with all our hearts and you'll always be a part of us. We hope you are resting in peace.
All our love forever,
Mom, Mike, Pam and everyone else who was fortunate to know you.

A Life Long Friend

We have spent 18 long and happy years together,
I would love to see your smiling eyes look up at me one more time.
But the lord has taken you from me for a good reason,
I know that you could never fathom why for you had no understanding of what cancer was.
The lord had mercy on your unknowing soul and has left me behind to remember you always.
I shall not hate him for that but thank him for helping me see that it had to be done for I could have never done it alone.
So please forgive me for sending you away from me, I know how you never liked to be far from me, but one day my life long friend we will be reunited.
Until then please remember that you are not alone for you have taken my heart and soul with you.

You were my best friend and soul mate and I will miss you more than my heart can say. Everyone in this world should be so lucky to have someone like you in their life.

When you need me, just send me a sign and I'll be there. I love you more than words can say. I can't wait to cuddle with you again....love mum xoxo

Benny (a.k.a. Benito, Benjamin Elvis), 02/05/95-08/17/01

Dearest Benny,

You came home from the vet's office today. I grabbed you and pulled you in close to me. That all too familiar lump in my throat returned, and the tears were born again.

I have been missing you so. Since you've been gone, I have yearned for your companionship and your protection. I have longed to see you tease Rosie, frolic with the cats, or enjoy a r-i-d-e (the word that was only spelled, and never actually spoken).

We have all missed you terribly, especially Rosie. She absolutely refused to eat out of the bowl that she shared with you. We were forced to get her a new bowl, but she still rarely eats in the Kitchen, preferring to eat and drink out of the bowl in her kennel. She's been so quiet, looking disjointed and lost.

Last week, when we came home without you, she saw your collar in my hand. She sniffed it and looked at my swollen eyes and tear-stained cheeks. I'm sure she could sense the tremendous pain and dreadful sorrow in our hearts. She knew. Then one-by-one, the cats intently approached me and sniffed your collar, then the baby kitty rubbed her cheek against your collar. It was almost surreal....like some sort of pre-rehearsed ritual. They all knew. A testament that animals communicate and perceive in ways that we will never understand. From that moment on, Rosie stopped looking out the window to watch for you to come home.

Today is a bittersweet reunion. Though I have wished for you to come home, I wish you were here in the flesh, not in ashes in a little wooden box. But you are home again, where I can watch over you.

I am sorry that your genetics gave you so many challenges. We tried our best to battle your ills, but our love for you could not overcome the forces of nature, and ultimately, fate won the war. We made this painful decision to set you free only because of our love for you and our desire to ease your suffering. Our only concern was you, not money, and not our own wants and needs.

I know that one day we will be together again. For now, I hope you are waiting for us in a great meadow of tall, sun-kissed grasses. and fragrant wildflowers. Running, romping and prancing around happy and painfree with Kitty-ba, Pebbles, Pooky, and even Lucy....young, whole and vibrant again.

Benny, we love you and we will miss you until we are together again.

Sue and DeAnn


Benny, 08/08/01

You passed away tonight, Benny... You were always there for me... I love you very much and I will miss you so much... I wish I could have done more for you... Please don't hate me... I will bury you in the front yard... Every time I pass by, I will think of all the love you showed me... I hope you find the peace in death that you couldn't find in life... I love you...

Some day we will meet again... I feel horrible that you waited so many hours for me, before you left... I guess being able to say goodbye to you is closure that I would have regretted not getting otherwise... Thank you Benny... I really do love you very much... I will always remember you and miss you...

J. Osgood


Benny, 08/03/01

I can't believe how suddenly you left us. So unexpected and such a shock. You were such a good kitty, one of the best. There is such a giant hole ion my heart that nothing will fill. I can't believe you were taken from me so soon. You will live in my heart forever. I await the day I meet you at the Rainbow bridge. Go play with Baby in Fields of catnip. To lose you both the same day is more than anyone can comprehend. I will love you forever.

Merle Feeser


Benny, 03/19/98-15/19/01

Benny, little boy, our first born. Just wanted you to know how much we loved you and miss you. It was unfair for a little boy who loved life so much to only have 3 years here. Especially since you first 5 months were not that great. I'll never forget how pathetic you looked in that cage with nothing to do until we found you. You blossomed into a beautiful dog who captured attention wherever you went. Mommy always tried to go places you could go because she knew how bad you wanted to go too. If we went anywhere without you, I would be thinking and often say, "Only one thing would make this perfect and that is if little boy could be with us." Nothing made me happier than to see you running free chasing a ball. Ironically, that is what you were doing when your life came to an end. If there is any comfort at all, it is in knowing you had a great last week of your life. The morning before you died I gave you an extra long belly rub in bed and an extra long walk that morning. That was our time together walking every morning. You and I loved it. Mornings are so difficult for me now because I miss walking with you so much. Nothing can replace that. Going to bed without you is also painful. Anything I ever did for you and with you was pure enjoyment. I could not wait to get home from work at the end of the day mostly because of you. Seeing you run to me and Leesy Bird jumping up and down yelling "Mommy, Mommy" is something I will always cherish in my memory. Thanks, by the way for being such a good big brother to your little sister. I know you were jealous at times and wish I could have spent more time with you. You still managed to be a good boy and protected your sister on our walks. Thanks for being such a good protector of your Mommy. You were extra protective and did such a good job 2 weeks before you were taken from us. We loved you so much and miss you terribly. You are missed by many. The neighborhood is slowly finding out what happened and are saddened by the news. Your doggie friends miss you too. Walks and playgrounds will never be the same without you. Take care, Benny boy. I hope you are playing a lot wherever you are and that we will meet again. Love always, Mommy, Daddy and Elise

Mary, Tom and Elise

Benny, the baby of our family will be loved and remembered forever and was more than just a family pet.


Bentley, 1/20/95-12/16/00

Bentley was a loyal and loving friend to us all. His patience and beauty brought joy to all. It was so sad watching him slow due to illness and then be taken so suddenly by cancer. We all miss him and will hold a place in our heart for him.

Mike, Cindy & Dad


Bentley, 07/16/88-01/27/01

Bentley you are my blessing and my joy. The sunshine of everyday we were together. Anything could be faced with you in my life. I treasured each moment. You were a cat cat haters liked. You were exuberant and docile. I will miss your ear flaps, your nose licking, your pink nose, and smacking your bum.. The family is grieving, who will pick on Sylvia teach the girls, comfort Angelo and bite Tony's ears? Most of all my fluffy I miss your sweet sweet voice..I will never want to hear our song again..though it is playing in heart non-stop. Oui Oui Bentley...I will love you forever..

Beowulf, 08/25/00

Dear Beowulf,
It has taken me over a year to be able to ask for you to be added to this list. With each day that passes, I can't believe you're really gone. And each day that passes, I am glad that you are no longer suffering. You were such a brave kitty boy throughout your illness, putting up with frequent acupuncture sessions, special herbs and homemade food (okay - maybe that last part wasn't so hard). And through it all you remained your happy, loving self. I am grateful to the vets who helped you stay here two years beyond when the vet school thought you would leave, and grateful to you that you wanted to stay so badly with your dad and me. Your dad misses you so very much, and even though he doesn't talk about it much, I know he thinks about you every day, just like I do. I hope that Bear was waiting for you in the Summer Country. I hope that the two of you are curled up in a sunbeam together, giving each other a headbath and keeping each other company.
I used to tell people when I spoke about you that "there was nothing but happy in that cat. Happy to be awake, happy to be asleep, happy to be indoors, happy to be outdoors, happy to be eating, happy to be playing..." Quite simply Beowulf, you were and are, the best cat ever, and your dad and I were blessed to have you chose us that day at the pound. I hope one day that you will come back to us, but if you can't, I hope you'll wait for us in the Summer Country. 'Cause without you there, it wouldn't be heaven. I love you Beowulf, my big black puss, you big ol' Spud.
Love,
Your mom.


Beretta, 03/16/01-12/22/01

It is still so raw, just this morning you were playing with your brother Colt and tonight I can barely breath knowing that tomorrow morning your sleep box will be empty when I awake. Thank you for the joy and laughter as well as the tests of my patience. You were so beautiful. We all miss you my precious girl. Know you were loved greatly. Mommy and Daddy and Colt


Bergen, 06/18/01

He was one of those dogs that just never grew up. He never had a problems with self-esteem. In fact I think he felt quite superior to all. What he wanted took importance over anything you might have desired. If my Mother was on the phone longer than Bergen allowed he start chewing something up within her view. "Bergen! Stop that right now!" she'd say to no avail. He'd roll those beautiful black eyes up and look at her defiantly as if to say, 'Get off of there and try to make me.' He was a well trained dog when he wanted to be. He was a Champion who produced many puppies that followed in his steps in the show ring. He was the way he was because that's the way he wanted to be. My mother and I live a distance apart. When my health improved enough to visit Mom, Bergen hated it. He seized every opportunity to show his displeasure. Including lifting his leg on my sweatshirt while I happened to be wearing it. After a time we found common ground and a bond of love was formed. He loved my purse! When given the chance he'd tear everything out and discard it to the floor. He adored putting on lipstick (with my help) and being told how beautiful he was. Time and health problem took it's toll on our 'Bergie' all too soon. How can one say good-bye to an extension of self? We need him. He was everything I'd like to have been. Bold, up-front, self-assured, determined while at the same time he was self-focused, outrageous and often rebellious. Above all he loved my Mother. When he looked at her you could see the mutual devotion. In a lot ways my Mom is very much like him. No, she's never chewed up a magazine rack, shredded a library book or ate the corner of the sofa pillows. But she has always known what she's wanted and would not be detoured in her quest. Her love knows no boundaries. They were the perfect pair for the last 12 years. Tonight her heart is breaking. Our lives will never be the same. "Bergen, we could never get enough of you. While we miss you beyond what words can express, we know tonight you again run without pain. Where control was lost you now are the master of your spirit. Thank you for giving us the chance to live in your world for these 12 years. What a blessing you will remain to us! You are loved beyond life on this plain. We'll see you again, Bergie!"

15 years, 8 months and 29 days. Far too little time to get all the love he had to give.

Loved and missed so terribly much........ Why are they taken from us so soon?

Berlioz, 05/20/87-09/05/01

My little baby, my little furball, how beautiful you were. I am glad that you had 14 years where you were adored, worshipped, fed, cared for and admired. I never though I could lose you. I took you for granted. I miss you so much now. How I wish I could hug you one last time. It was heartbreaking to see you ill. You were given to me as gift. I remember the day I went to pick you up at Mike O's house somewhere in the boonies of MD with my mother and her ivory Benz 190. You were so cute. Mike told me he had called you "Brewster" or "Bruiser" and that "Berlioz" was not an appropriate name for you. He had another big cat in his house and he said it was time I came to pick up my "gift" because the big cat was harassing you. Then when I moved into my own apartment, I brought you in one day and then I went to work. All day, I was tortured by the thought that you were alone all day, having moved from a 3-story townhouse with 3 people into a 1 bedroom apartment with a person who was only in at night. I couldn't bear your forlorn look when I came back from work and found you sitting on my sofa table. I couldn't bear it and took you right back to my parent's house where you ended your days and where you brought much hassle to my mom and much joy and happiness to my dad. Should I have kept you with me ? I felt you really didn't want to be in that apartment and didn't have the heart to imprison you against your will in my place. Was I right ? Darling, I can't bear to think of you cold and lifeless. As long as I can focus on something and truly live in the present, I am okay but the instant that my focus slips, I think of you and start to sob. You were so beautiful. Why didn't you tell me you would leave me one day ?


Bernard Myers, 10/13/92-10/07/00

Our dear cat a champagne mink tonkinese he was born Oct 13 1992 he was the love of my life and my families, he was my protector, he followed me everywhere, waited while I was in the bathroom ,didn't get out of bed until I did, didn't go to bed until I did, he was the first one who greeted me at the door when I came home.

My Brave boy ~~ Bertie

We forged a bond in 1995,
When Bertie and Vickie brought me alive.
The bond grew deeper when he became ill,
With every shot and every pill.
He lived with me not yet six years,
So now I cry those scalding tears.
Diabetes - we'd conquered that and more,
But cancer darkened our lives and door.
Our bond is not broken, it never will be
For my Bertie waits at the Bridge for me.

Dear Bertram,
Today you join your life-long mate, Betty-Boop, at the Rainbow Bridge. I know your hearts must be filled with joy, though mine is sad. Sad to live on this planet without hearing your sweet singing and chirping. But happy to know you are together again and enjoying freedom from pain and old age. Fly free together through eternity my sweet cockatiels!

Bo and Bess were the best pair of dogs ever and I feel humbled that they were mine.

Bessie, 05/31/01

I always said I never wanted a Bassett Hound, until you needed a home. You were my gooky eyed, gunky eared bad breathed Basset Hound, and I loved every minute you were with us. You were such a clown, but you were the one who figured out how to open the pantry, and how to climb up on my lap. You were definitely smarter then you looked. I miss your hugs and your kisses. I miss your "wiggle worm" routine when you were scratching your back, or wanted your belly rubbed. I am thankful you got my attention the morning you passed so that I stopped to give you a hug, so when you lay down for the last time that afternoon while I was at work you had given me the chance to say good-bye. I hope you knew how much I loved you.

Andi Rea-Whitlock


Beta, 11/10/92-06/12/01

Beta was the busiest dog on earth. Not a moment went by when she wasn't at least thinking about what to do next. Her finest times were while she was retrieving a ball while walking her people and when she was swimming. She was an avid rock hound. Whenever possible, she would dive to the bottom of the local stream and bring up a rock. Sometimes she would wade in and start barking at and pushing a particular rock (I think they spoke to her) until she dislodged it and then she would proudly carry it home, even if it was bigger than her head. Even though she was often referred to as the "dog from hell" she did have a habit of eating money or tickets or any receipt she could get ahold of, she was the best dog in the world. I will miss my little girly girl. She stayed with me through both of my hip replacements, and when her original owner moved out. She taught about the importance of being whoever you are. She stayed true to herself right up until the end. God will bless her the way she blessed me.

Bethany, 04/17/85-09/10/99

For BETHANY our beautiful Cairn Terrier born April 17th, 1985 died Sept 10, 1999. We still miss you too much. It seems like yesterday that I had to put you down. My biggest mistake was leaving when the Vet said it would be messy. Beth, I am so sorry I did not stay with you for your last breath. Even when I made that crucial decision to end your suffering, you rested your head on my shoulder SO hard, I didn't know if you were telling me it was ok to let go, or if you wanted to go home. Not a day goes by than we don't think about you. But you are always with us. Not only in mind and spirit, but on my dresser! Glad I made the decision to cremate you. You are always here looking at us. We love you more than ever. Hey, Richard is home for good now! He was talking about you yesterday, and that is why I came back to this beautiful site. Wait for us! Love Mommy, Daddy, Richard, Dusty, Maggie and Winston. "A dog loves you when no one else does."


Beth's Northern Princess, 03/15/86-12/19/01

I had Princess for almost over 16 years and it's rare to get a Siberian Husky to live that long. She been a big part of my life and I feel so lonely without her in our lives. She meant everything to my family. But we know she's now healthy and young again in heaven and no longer in pain.
She was and will always have a place in my family's heart.
There will be no other dog to replace Princess in our hearts.


Betsy, 04/05/01

Betsy came into my life 6 years ago. She was left behind when previous owners moved from the house my family was buying. It took awhile, but eventually she trusted me and went from sleeping outside to sleeping on my bed with me. When she officially became my pet, we took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with parvo... but, Thank God she survived. From that moment on, our bond grew and she became my best friend. She went everywhere with us... camping, moving, no matter what... she was with me... Last year, she got sick... she was diagnosed with bladder cancer and a nerve disease that was paralyzing her legs and back... I was torn in half... but, eventually I had to let her go... April 5, 2001 was the darkest day of my life, but I know it was the best gift I could give to my Betsy-girl... I held her in my arms and my mom held both of us as we said our goodbyes and our vet gently gave Betsy the peace she so desperately needed and deserved... I turned 18 years old without her... and I miss her so much... I miss my Betsy-girl... She was an unwanted abandoned dog... but she gave me unconditional love... and I miss her...

Betsy, 08/15/01

Betsy

I received the phone call today
That you had left and passed away
We know that in your final days
You had done anything for just one more play.

Your eyes had lost their shine
Every move would entice a whine
But you fought thru
To show the love between us and you

You were here for twelve years,
And now we all shed our tears,
We understand that you did your best
But now my friend the time has come to rest

For your final journey you will soar so high
And we will always know to look for you in the sky
For you have left on the wings of a dove
And have bestowed upon us the gift of your love

Lord, our friend has come home to you
Home to a peace and love so true
Lord we know she is in a better place,
But we still can't keep the tears from our face

She was my dog, a friend like no other
But I left her with my father and mother
Her final years gave her a yard to run
Final years that gave her such fun

Please let there be no mistaking,
Betsy our hearts for you are aching
We know we will see you again
Until then I will miss you dearly my friend

Know this Betsy that though we're apart
You will not be forgotten cause you touched your paw to my heart
And though I am sad I must not forget
That there will come a time to cross the bridge and see my pet

And know that in our hearts you will be
Until that day when you will see me
We will be together again
I love you Betsy, my dearest friend.

You were a special dog and will miss you dearly. Goodbye my friend, and I will see you again. I love you Betsy.

Bette, 07/07/01

Bette you came to us as one year old, so happy always. You were our first show dog and first obedience dog. You loved obedience and enjoyed working...I almost changed your name to Sunny since you were always smiling. We can't believe you are gone now. You aren't forgotten...we see you in all your old spots. Taylor and Darcee miss you too. We saw your shooting star so we know you are at the Bridge with Ellie and Tiff..but we wish you were here instead. I miss your golden flash in the backyard..chasing the squirrels. you never did anything half way, but did it with a flair. We tried very hard to make your last months happy ones so you could do all the things you always liked. But finally we had to let you go..the cancer had spread and we knew it.
So we held you gently and guarded your trip to the Bridge as we had guarded you all your life. Rest easy now Bette, play hard...we will see you again. We all love and miss you sweet girl.

Your family


Betty Boop, 05/02/01

She and her mate came to live with me when they were at least 10. Neither one knew how to fly or had ever been out of their tiny cage. Their owner no longer had time for them. The vet gave them 2-3 years -- that was 16 years ago.

They have since learned to fly, to eat fresh fruits and veggies, to sit outside in the sun in their enlarged cage and to spend free time out of the cage EVERY day.

Susan


Beu (Bo Bo), 06/02/00-05/18/01

Beu was the best dog I ever had. we adopted him from a local shelter when he was 3 months old. the vet said he was perfectly healthy, but he wasn't. he was suffering from distemper. a deadly disease which most dog's who are diagnosed unfortunately are put down. we tried every thing we spent more than we should have to keep him well. but nothing we did helped. I knew he was suffering but I couldn't give up. every day I would walk out side to see him lying by himself in his dog house. he was very loyal and loved playing too. he was very intelligent. he was the PERFECT COMPANION! a week or so before his first birthday( the same day as my birthday) he was put down. my parents took him during the day while I was at school so I wouldn't have a panic attack. they told me my perfect angel had started having seizures that morning. I still loose my breathe every time I think about him and try hard to keep breathing. this year when we put him down it was the same day my grandma died the year before and this year was the most miserable birthday I have ever had. sometimes I cry myself to sleep thinking of him. I will never have another dog like my bo bo. and I will always miss him.

Bianca Snow,
We will miss the way u use to "tell" use to do things in your own special way. We will miss the times that we have watched you play with the hose and bite at it. We will miss all the times you would put Bailey in his place. We will especially miss all the times u would lay on the raft and try to catch a tan though it was always impossible since you are white. The way you use to float around the pool and the way you would play with the cats. We will miss everything about you miss Bianca. You were torn from our hearts way to young and way to unfairly. For I hope one day they will find a cure for those toxins that took you away from us. We will miss u greatly. I hope you find comfort and happiness where ever you maybe. For we will all be together one day, just beyond the Rainbow Bridge.
LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
Mommy and Jackie

Bif, my dear friend...you were such a wonderful dog. You were always with me in happiness or sadness..You were my best friend and companion. You were always so happy..always smiling. You filled my lonely days with your unconditional love and your presence. I love you so Bif...you can never be replaced. Remember when we would ride in the car and you would look for other dogs...oh how you loved to do that. I am still doing that my friend, and even tho your body is not with me, I know your spirit is with me in the back seat of the car as always..just looking around. I must tell you best friend...you left this world so suddenly I was unprepared...my very soul aches for you. I know you are at Rainbow Bridge now waiting patiently for me as you always did and I know we will be together again. I thank God for the time we had together Bif.

Big Boy, you and your sister, Baby, were litter mates who were not adopted. I never meant to keep either of your, but can't imagine never having had you both in my life now. Big Boy, I miss your talking to me outside the bathroom window each morning as I get ready for work. You were a loyal friend, always protective of your family and we still miss you dearly.

Big Red, 12/01/00 Camera Icon

"An Old Dog Called Big Red"

I write this letter in memory of an old dog called "Big Red." I never knew his real name so I simply called him "Big Red." You see, he was a wandering stray Springer Spaniel that had been "detained" by a police officer at a busy city street intersection and the local animal shelter had been called to come pick the old guy up. While driving by, without any reason or thought, I pulled over to see what was going on. After the officer explained, I asked if I may have him. The officer replied, "sure." And that was the beginning of a most treasured friendship.

I certainly never had any intentions of getting another dog, especially such an old one. I tried to find his family, but to no avail. The vet said he had probably been used as a gun dog in the cold waters because of the numerous pellets lodged in him and his severe arthritis. I guess his perceived usefulness wore out. Initially, the vet suggested I might want to re-consider my decision to keep "Big Red" because, after all, he was "double digits" and clearly his robust heyday was behind him. I looked down at Red and he at me, both thinking the same thought, "Let's get outta here!" So we did and our wonderful 2 1/2 year adventure together began.

I learned more about love, compassion and admiration in those brief 2 1/2 years than I had in my entire 37!

At the estimated age of 16+, "Big Red" had to be put down this past December. His old body couldn't go on any longer, although his pure heart surely could have. It was a privilege to have known this finest of friend who taught me so much.

I ask anyone who may be considering opening their heart and home to a new animal friend, please don't forget the "seniors." They are so often overlooked as merely too old and useless and have such a slim chance of finding a loving home. And they have SO much to offer. The love, devotion and joy you will receive from these "seniors" will be unsurpassed. They have earned their wisdom and deserve our appreciation. This I learned from an old dog called "Big Red."

Bilbo, 3/1/94-12/16/01

The Angels called my best friend home to be with them on 12/16/01. He came into my life at a time when I felt so alone. He helped me to smile when I thought I would never smile again. My heart aches for the gentle touch of his cold nose and the wag of his tail. Bilbo was my buddy and constant companion, I hope that heaven knows how lucky they are to have him.
He will remain in my thoughts and heart always.


Bilbo Baggins, 17/09/01

Bilbo was a very special and loving Boy who will be missed by all who knew him and cuddled him. He will also be missed by his special girlfriend Abigail.
Bilbo was a lovable boy who loved a cuddle, love and enjoyed his freedom to roam where he liked.
He is now reunited with his brother Frodo in that special part of Heaven reserved for those special in Gods eyes.

Billabong (Billy), 06/11/01

I miss my cat with all my heart I thought that we would never part. We've been together for so long, now that you have left me how do I go on. We started together in Hawaii so long ago, then move back to my hometown some years ago. You were there as the family grew, you were my purrbaby through and through. On the day I had to let you go was the hardest day my world was to know. I miss you Billy with all my heart you have taken away a very big part. One day I will see you, that I'm sure, Bill I miss that ongoing Purrrr!

I can only think of you now laying in the soft arms of an Angel with the sun shining on you, in the warm light, where you always wanted to be. I love you sweetheart, sleep with the Angels.

Billie, 03/29/01

Billie (2 year old shepherd/black-lab mix)was an incredible dog. She was beautiful to look at but her real beauty was the love and support she gave my friend while going through chemotherapy, surgery and radiation for breast cancer. And then again Billie was there when my friend had to have further surgery. My friend is only 45.

Billie and my friend were inseparable. The love between the two of them was a real treasure. Billie met alot of people because she went everywhere with my friend. She touched alot of lives with her gentle spirit.

She was my friend's family. Otherwise she is really alone. She has good friends but Billie was everything.

Please say a prayer for Billie and especially for my friend. This is really a tragedy.

Thank you so much.

Billy, 11/09/98

Billy was the best friend we ever had and we miss him very much. God Bless him please.

Billy, 01/25/01

My birdy buddy was special like all the rest, but his was a bond that transcended his species. He didn't ask for much, but he gave a lot. I didn't need an alarm clock for 15 years! His favorite food was raisins and everyday he was quick to ask for his share. I know all our pets are special and Billy was no exception. My wish for him (who hid his illness so well from me)is that he is free from pain and discomfort that he must have endured for quite a while in silence. Billy, I know you are happy now and I will be with you again someday. I know when that day comes, we will greet each other with "Whatcha doin' Billy?" All my love to you and Godspeed.

Billy Bob

You had just won your first trophy and were on your way for more. You loved to walk to the mail box with me and chase me around the outside of the house. I was a loss when the dog attacked you in the middle of the night. He came into your yard, you thought he wanted to play. We miss you Billy.

Billy Bob N, 08/06/01

Billy Boy (beagle) was our very first dog. He was mischievous, but was also sweet, tenacious, very brave and the love of our lives! He lived a LONG and happy life, and although we miss him, we are glad he is happy, eating and playing and waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. Rest in peace, our wonderful companion.

Billy Lionheart, 12/21/01

Billy Lionheart is the name I gave him the day we met--just two short days ago, on December 19. He was hiding under the workshop steps and he was so weak, he couldn't come out. He was terrified, so I couldn't help him at first, but after I'd brought him food and water, and left him alone to eat and drink, he summoned the strength to pull himself out from under the steps, into the winter sunlight. I wrapped him in a blanket, brought him indoors, and placed him on the floor beside my desk. I fed him and gave him water through an eye dropper because he couldn't hold his head up to eat or drink. At dinner time, when my neighbors got home from work, I walked next door to tell them that I'd found their cat and he was very ill. I offered to carry him over to them but they said they couldn't take care of him--it seems they'd taken him to the vet last weekend, had been told he was going to die, and had let him outdoors so he'd go off and die on his own. I told them I planned to keep him, to make his final days more comfortable. I'd already stopped using their name for him--Punky--because I felt that such a courageous little soul deserved a name with more dignity. Oddly, he responded to the name Billy the first time I used it.

I kept him by my side throughout the last two days of his life. He was on his little bed right beside my desk all day as I worked, and right beside my bed at night while I slept. If anyone had told me it would be possible to learn to love someone in just a few hours, I wouldn't have believed it before I met Billy. I have rarely met a cat of such warmth and sweetness. When I petted him, he'd wrap his paw around one of my fingers. If I left the room, he'd meow until I came back.

Wednesday--our first day together--he ate and drank very well, but yesterday his appetite decreased as the day went on. I contacted his vet who confirmed what the neighbors had said, that Billy's case was hopeless. All I could do was keep him warm and comfortable. The vet offered to put Billy to sleep at no cost to me since I'd been willing to take him in when his former family didn't want him. I told him I'd bring him in on Friday if he continued to get worse.

He'd stopped eating last night, and would only drink a few drops of water at a time. I sat with him for hours, petting him, praising his warmth, beauty, determination, and courage. This morning, at 6:00 a.m., he began to have a seizure, so I held him in my arms, stroked his head, and talked to him. At 6:01, he quieted, and at 6:05 he sighed his last breath.

This afternoon I'll bury him beneath the pecan tree he loved to play in, alongside my departed feline friends Puddy, Frankie, and Emma. I hope he'll meet them, and that the four of them will wait for me on the other side of the rainbow bridge. We might have only had two days together, but Billy Lionheart taught me much, and I grew to love him. I consider myself his "mom" and I'll miss him.

Bimbo, 1970-L984

Bimbo, with his one blue and one brown eye, raised my children. He suffered the indignities of having Mary put ribbons in his hair. When the children left home, he stayed with me. When I remarried, he accepted a new man, a new dog, and a new home. He loved riding in the car and enjoyed our vacations. When he died that day at the vet's, I cried for my loss. I put his shirt, tags and bowl in a box to keep them. I know now that Bimbo is waiting for me but has the company of his step-sister Perla and his playmate Cuki. Now my other child, Spike, has joined them. Play together until I can play again with you, my babies.

Hoping my Bingo is running free now. He was unable to walk for 6 months and was waiting for a new drug that is coming out this fall to try to help him walk. He never got the chance to try the drug since he just passed away. May he run as fast and as long as he wishes on the other side. Please say a prayer for my dog. Thank you and my God Bless all the helpless animals. Marci


Bingo Huggins, 6/16/01

He gave alot of joy to my sister and her family. He will be remembered for the few years that they had to remember him. He was a great first dog for my nephew to grow up with. May the Angels take and care for him always.

Binkie Sabo, 12/14/01

Binkie was our special kitty for only about 24 hours. We found him at the Humane Society left there by a heartless breeder who was through with his services. Our wonderful vet discovered he was terminal with a genetic disease found in Persians (polycystic kidney disease). We believe it is quite probable that the breeder was aware of his illness and dumped him on the shelter. Unfortunately during the 7 weeks he was in the shelter no one there realized he was ill. Despite the shock and tears we decided to end his suffering. I love him and miss him and wish he were with me now. How could a little sweetheart like our Binkie ever be replaced. All he ever wanted was a loving home and we hopefully gave him the most loving day of his life. I can see his beautiful face and feel the soft curve of his head in my hand. I miss him so much.

Binky, 01/07/01 Camera Icon

Binky came to me as a gift from my husband, after I lost a pregnancy. I fell in love with him at first sight. The dog never left my side the whole time I had him. He brought me happiness every single day. His whole world was me, and I loved him dearly for that. He was my baby.
When I had to have him put down, .... I swear it feels like my heart is being ripped out.
Somehow between the vet on Sat. and Sun. afternoon, he sustained a back injury that left his entire hind quarters paralyzed. He couldn't walk and he couldn't use the bathroom.
I never dreamed that he would die. When we took him to the ER, the news was sudden and shocking and devastating. I have never, in my whole 35 years had a dog like Binky.
I loved him dearly and miss him tremendously.


Binky, 05/12/99-12/28/00

Binky was a wonderful boy. He touched our lives in many ways, he will always have a special place in our hearts.

To our friend, thank you for the joy you bestowed upon our home. Our sweet furbaby, we will miss the "dook, dook, dook" whenever you were out and about. We will miss the carrying of chip bags that were twice your size down the hall and your fondness for our underwear drawers. We will simply miss all the laughter you brought to our home. We know you are happy at the bridge and look forward to one day playing with you again. Thank you baby for just being our little Birdie. God Bless. We Miss you terribly. Love Mom, Dad and David.


Biscuit, 02/25/95-09/11/01

"To Biscuit"
I still hear you cry as I lay by your side on your last night at home. I told you it was okay to go but I didn't know that it would hurt so much. Someone unkind & unloving took you away for they poisoned you. How could they do that to us? Your bright blue eyes never went unnoticed-your "eraser" pink nose Daddy loved to chew on-your big ears stood pert most of the time. "If only you could hear!" was my cry. Now you've gone to Rainbow Bridge-not fighting to stand straight or stumbling about-not throwing up all the water & bile. Now you can hear with those beautiful "cardboard" ears. Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge. The shot the vet gave you Sunday didn't seem to work but you were happy that day on what you remember to be your last car ride. Hanging your head out the window, fur flying everywhere. Your head in the breeze with your eyes closed & your lips being blown by the wind. I held you all night to keep you close. Andy & I were with you when you had your first seizure-stroking & loving you all the while. The vet tried flushing the poison from your body. He said you were a fighter-holding your own. But now there'll be no more seizures. Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge. You'll run & hop thru the fields without a care-you'll know something's missing because your family's not there. But just stay there and play at Rainbow Bridge for one day we will meet again. Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge our days are so lonely & empty. Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge-we won't have to watch our glasses of tea. We buried you under your favorite tree in the front yard-that way you'll always be on guard. No one can harm you anymore-Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge. I held you all night & Andy & I carried you outside when you had to go. Andy held on to about 2:30am-a boy never loved his dog so much. After Andy fell asleep I held you & cried, carrying you every time you'd tried to walk, counting every breath you'd take. Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge there'll be no more crys of "Mama, please help me!!" I did what I could to comfort you, dropping water on your lips when you couldn't stand. But now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge I know you're not suffering & I'll see you again. We love you Biscuit & we always will.

Tammy Harbin


Biscuit, 02/03/01

Bitsy, 11/26/82-03/30/01

Our beloved dog Bitsy passed away after providing us with 19 wonderful years of companionship. She was a tribute to every dog that was ever born. She was so loved by her family. She embodied everything a good dog could ever be and more. My son was six years old when we brought her home as a puppy. His grief was captured in this comment, "I don't remember my life at all without her and can't imagine it now that she is gone." My son will be 25 yrs old this year. She will always be remembered in our hearts and can and will never be replaced. We love you Bitsy.

We had 10 great years, and I couldn't have loved you more, even if you did hate obedience work....you did earn your ribbon.
I'm going to miss you so much, but at least I know you are with Bear, Sabine, your wonderful mom, Ashley, and dad Midas.
such a loss.......

My Dear B.J. I still can't believe you are gone, it seems only yesterday you came into our lives you were such a beautiful and loving baby and we all miss you I can't even put it into words. I was away the night you went to the bridge but Daddy and your brother Tigger and your sisters Misty and Littlebit were with you. You will always be in my heart. When I pull up to the house I still look for you in the window but you are not there. I know you are happy and free of pain. We will all be together one day but until then I know you are having fun with BooBoo and Bogart, Mocha and Ebony. Until we meet again We love and miss you very much.

B.J. (December 1988-February 27, 2001)
My precious little boy, I miss you so! I'm so glad I was able to adopt you 2 1/2 years ago. You stole my heart right away and taught me so much about God's unconditional love! Through the good and all the bad, you were right by my side, and I smile when I remember how you liked to lick my tears to try to cheer me up.

I thank the Lord that I was able to rescue you November 13, 1998. But even more, I praise Him that you rescued me--day after day. You tore down the walls I had built around my heart and taught me that though loving is costly, it's always worth it. You also taught me that there's nothing quite like a good walk with the person you love.

Now, without you, somehow life must go on. It's not been easy. The house seems so empty without you tagging along by my side. I still miss you so much it hurts. Yet, I know that I did the right thing by ending your pain. I loved you so much I could not bear to see you so miserable that you couldn't even eat your peanut butter sandwich! I know that you are running and playing and chasing lots of cats, and I'm glad that you're not in any more pain. I wish, though, that you could somehow come back here and let me give you just one more belly rub. My heart aches to cuddle with you once more on the couch. You were my best friend, my confidante, my loyal companion. I'm learning hour by hour that the only One that can fill the BJ-sized hole in my heart is my Lord Jesus.

Night-night, Bee Bee. Mommy loves you!


B.J., 03/18/01

B.J. was not just a cat. He was a people lover who brought joy to all who encountered him. He loved to be held and talked and had the most intent stare, like a human in a cats body. His eyes were as big as saucers and his heart big as the sun. All he wanted was to love and be loved.

Black Cat, 08/97-05/00

I think of you and still I see
your bright new face in the Christmas tree.
So sweet, so mean and loving, too.
You knew the world turned just for you.

Your purr would wake me up at night
Insisting that I hold you tight.
I sheltered you inside my house.
You'd never even seen a mouse.

Yet, every day you begged of me,
"please let me run, let me be free".
"I want to climb, to catch a bug
and not just decorate your rug."

And so, Black Cat, I let you go.
Little man, I miss you so.
It's God who pats your head each day
as you wait for me to come your way.

Still, there is no need for sorrow.
You wait for me in some tomorrow.
The God I love looks after you.
Until I get to Heaven, too.

Elaine Joyce

Little Black Cat was given to me by a dear friend. From the moment he arrived in our house, he took over. The first time he saw our white, expensive, golden decorated Christmas tree, he stood and looked then climbed up the middle, creeped out onto a branch and just laid there looking sweet. That was the ONE thing in the house he didn't try to take apart! He always slept in our bed, under the cover, and insisted we get up early to entertain him. He loved the computer and would pat the keyboard, even when we were not on it at the time. He was vocal and opinionated and carried on lengthy conversations with whomever would listen. We don't know why he died - we just found him one morning. It has been a while, but he was such a part of the family that he is missed just as much today as the day he went to the "Rainbow Bridge".


Blackdog, 2/23/01

To my dear sweet Blackie who passed on December 19, 2001:

I will love you forever. You are the sweetest kitty I ever had the honor to care for. Never complained no matter what, and always there for me. I will always think of you and remember the unconditional love you gave me. You seemed to know my every mood. I wish you could have beaten the cancer, we sure did give it a try didn't we sweetheart. Now your pain is gone and you can run and play with your sister Buffy. You both are always in my heart and always on my mind. Rest in peace. Give a kiss to your sister Buffy for me, I will always remember the 2 of you together, always in some kind of mischief. But the 2 sweetest kitties I ever loved.

Your mommy, Barb


Blackie, 03/09/95-11/19/01

Blackie was a survivor. I can't realize that she's gone. But she lived free, she was always free. And that was how she wanted to live, Blackie died living her life. Being free. And now my baby is gone, and I wont see her for a long time. Just yesterday she was in my arms, chirping. Now we will bury her and remember her always. She left two friends and companions, Hercules and Blaze. They will help with the sorrow, but all I want is to hold her again.
I Love you Blackie, and I will dedicate my life to helping the ones that no one loves. I will love them, but not the way I loved you. You are my best friend,

Love Forever,
Chelsea

I will see you again, on Rainbow Bridge.


Blackie, 1997-05/11/01

We never intended on having a kitten but when we first saw him and he didn't have a home we just had to keep him. We had him only a few years but we will miss him soooo much. Rusty will miss having him as a playmate. He will be in our hearts forever!!!!!

A song about his eyes

Emerald Eyes
His eyes are green like Ireland, Ireland, Ireland.
I cry the name of Emerald Isle my home.
Repeat

I love him so much and Eire*.
Repeat

I want the Emerald eyes back home.
Repeat

*Eire means Ireland in Gaelic, (the language spoken in Ireland.)

Blackie, 03/24/00

It has been one full year to the day, I miss you so very much. I'm burning a candle in your memory and others that also lost their love ones. Blackie lost his life to cancer and now I'm writing this letter to also leave a message that grandpa(my dad)also has cancer. It was sudden, its a fast cancer and it has already spread. Blackie, if you are watching, please meet him and be with him until we all are back together again. Its very hard to be with the living when you start losing all that you love but I know its part of life and we have to be strong. You will never be forgotten, you were very special to me and my best buddy, until we meet again...I will always think of you!

Blackie Fitzgerald, 02/12/01

Thank you Blackmin, for 12 years of joy, love, healing and touching all of those (animal lovers and others) that came into your path. You have been such a wonderful and special friend, one that we shall never forget. I see you smiling down on us from afar and I feel your spirit.

You will be greatly missed. We love you, momma and daddy

Kurt and Shannon


Blackjack, 1994

My dear Blackjack,
It's been a while since I lost you. I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you needed me most. And I'm so, so very sorry I left you with that strange woman. She was not the right person to decide your fate. I do believe she made the right choice though, as I would not want to see you suffer any longer. I only wish we'd have known sooner that you had heartworms.
I love you, my precious little Blackjack. No body could ever replace you, ever.


Blackjack, 1989-03/26/97

Blackjack, You knew what you were doing when you moved in and adopted us. You came up through the woods one day, and took up residence on our carport. We fed you, of course, but we didn't encourage you otherwise because we already had so many cats. Then one day you tangled with some unfriendly creature, and you were hurt. I took you to the vet, and from that day forward, you were officially our cat and had the run of the house and a special place in our hearts. You were a gentle giant of a tom cat. All twenty pounds of you were filled with love. We miss you so very much, but you gave us eight years of your love and left us your son. I just know God would not have created such angel of a cat and not have prepared a place for you in Heaven.

Nancie, Boyd, and Your Cat Friends


Black Jack, 12/28/00

Black Jack was a gentle giant, standing 6.5 hands tall, solid black, with a strong stallion crest. His whinnie was the deepest and strongest I've ever heard, yet his disposition towards humans was as gentle as a lamb. During his last final hours I held his head into my chest while he obeyed and performed everything asked of him even while in severe pain-that was his way. He is now painless, even though my pain is still so fresh it feels it'll never go away. He will always be loved and sorely missed, tucked away deep in my heart.

Nena


Black Kitty, 03/01/01-05/19/01

My sweet little Black Kitty, you were in my life for such a short time. You gave me more then you will ever know. I will never forget your sweet little face or the way you looked at me as you died in my arms. I will never forget you my friend

Blacky, 05/27/83-06/05/01

(A wonderful poem I found on the internet, unfortunately, I don't know who wrote it. It pretty much sums up my feelings.

Golden Memories
They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would of died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one else could fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane. I'd walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again. Our Family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But God calls us back one by one, the chain will link again.

Connie Lee


Blade and Vernon, 02/16/99

These two greyhounds were very special people in my family. And when called home they took a piece of my heart with them. I remember Blade running with the horse out in the pasture. And Vernon was such a big lap dog. He ran like the wind even though he only had three good legs. I love them both and there isn't a day that goes by that they don't cross my mind.

Blanca, 3/12/82-4/4/01

Blanca, A.K.A Binka,
The times that we have spent together were wonderful and I'll never forget them. You have made so happy and when I was sad you were always there to lick my tears away. I'm also so sorry that for the last five years of your life you were so sick. Sometimes I think that the only reason that you kept on going was because of the love and bond that we both had between each other. I know that you are in a better place now. I want you to know that you did a great job being my best friend. Rest in Peace and I'll see you when it's my time. I love you sooooooo much and that will never change no matter what may come in the years to come.

Your Best Friend,
Jennifer Szandzik


Blanco (Beej), 2/8/01

To the wonderful little white fluffball we shared life with for twelve years, our dear Blanco, the Beej.

You came into our lives by such coincidence. You were so very special, so gentle but determined to get your own way. We are so happy to have had you in our lives. "On t'aime beaucoup et pour toujours, little boy. Nous te souhaitons beaucoup de "marches" et de "manger-manger" où tu vas. On se reverra un jour. Va rejoindre Tuffy et Chanel, notre amour, et sache que tu es dans notre coeur et nos pensées. Si tu le peux, envoie un autre esprit aussi pure et généreux que toi, si cela est possible, pour veiller sur nous."

Carole, Michel and Cara


Blaze, 04/10/01

Blaze, we love and miss you. You remain with us in our hearts. Thank you for your love and the wonderful years we had together.
Blaze was the sweetest, most gentle dog. You and Stewart be happy together until we are all reunited. Love, Your Family

Blaze, 06/21/01

My heart is breaking it seems so unfair. There was nothing wrong .You ran and played all day Wednesday then Thursday you lay dead. A heart attack? You were just a baby. I've had you since you were three months old .You were my life's dream and now your gone. I wanted to go with you as they laid you to rest I still do but I know you'd want me to go on. I was scared of horses but we had a bond we were one as we rode . It seems as if the hurt wont end I miss you and I love you. I'm glad you didn't suffer I'm suffering enough for both of us. Of all the animals I had I never had the bond as strong for any as I did you. I love you wait at Rainbow bridge for me so we can ride again!!!

Blondie, 1997-11/30/01

Blondie, You were our beautiful wheaten baby girl. You came to us as a stray and lept into our hearts. You had a broken hip, and we got it fixed for you. You were a real daddy's girl who insisted on riding in the truck right next to your daddy. Weekends were special. I would watch through the kitchen window as you walked next to your daddy out to the truck on your way to get the morning papers from the corner store. I loved to watch you as you buried little treasures in the yard for later.
Other animals we took in, you took to them as their friend, and soon we were family. When your arthritic hip hurt you, I would give you your medicine and stay with you until you felt better. Your brown eyes under your hair showed so much love, and when you would reach out with your paw on our hands, you showed us your love and devotion.
Our hearts broke when you died. It was the hardest thing to do to say goodbye. I look to the day when we will see you again. In the meantime, play with Chloe, Nathan, and Jack. Romp and play girl, and don't cry, we will all be together again in the blink of an eye! We love you girl. I love you Blondie. Mom.


Blondie, 10/12/01

I want to let Blondie know that I WILL always LOVE YOU. Even though she is not here now she will always be here in spirit. My dog was put to sleep on October 12, 2001. She had lyme disease, and her two back legs were not functioning well. Every time that she would walk, every step was a painful step. She was on medication for the lyme disease, but it was not working. I love her, and Me and my Family miss her a whole bunch. We know that you are now looking down on us, and we will be together again. Words just cannot express how much we still love you. Even though you are not here. We still remember all the good, and funny things about you. Like how you used to always bark at the pizza guy whenever he came to the door. Or when you chased all of the cars that were coming up the driveway. I watched them put the poison inside of your body. I was there every moment of your last minutes of life. We didn't want to do it, but it was the only thing that would not make you suffer anymore. Would not give you anymore pain. The way that you looked at me when they were putting you to sleep, I will never forget. I will also never forget the way that you looked at me, and the way that you licked my face, and at that time I knew that you were saying Goodbye, and I love you. We love you BLONDIE. You will be missed, but you soul, and spirit will always be in our minds, and in our hearts.

Jessica


Blondie, 01/06/00

I loved you not only because you were my best friend but because you were so uniquely special remember all the funny little things you would do like how you would snore in the middle of the night and how you would let out a big burp right after eating your dinner I remember how excited you would get right after you would have your bath and your would run around the house like a crazy dog because you were a "new pooch" as we would say. I remember the funny game you and your daddy would play and how you would bark and growl and pretend to bite him and we would laugh and laugh at how crazy you were. I remember when I would come home from lunch and you were sleeping in your grandmas closet on top of all her clothes and I would pick you up like my baby and we would go outside and get the mail then you would sit with me on the bed while I ate my lunch and watched my soaps. What am I gonna do without my baby? you were my best friend since I was 8 years old. Who's gonna greet me when I come home from work? Who am I gonna take care of, and love, and love me back? I will never forget you and you will always have my heart. No person I have ever and will ever meet will come close to you. You were amazing and you made me want to live when no-one else did. I will miss my baby Blondie forever

Blossom, 02/22/01

Blossom
Best Friend and Loving Care Giver
Age 7 ½ (52 ½ in doggy years)
Blossom was the best friend a person could ever have. She gave me happiness, love, life. She showed me the finger things in life. When her tail wagged, the eyes of the people she was around lit up. When her tummy itched (for attention) family and friends stood in line to scratch it. With a touch of her cold, wet nose, she touched your heart. And the way your heart felt after she had warmed it will never change. Blossom was a caring dog right from the start. Curling up to me and never leaving my side. She found comfort when she knew her back was touching something as she slept, no matter what it was. An interesting dog, she ate "Cheez puffs," but wouldn't take them from just anyone. She would only take them from my Aunt Sandy. Blossom was a loyal dog, always barking when strangers came around. She didn't bark at everyone, only the people she didn't know, and even if she was barking at you, she would still greet you with a wagging tail. Even though Blossom may not be in this world now, she will be waiting at Rainbow Bridge with a wagging tail, just waiting to see us again. She will forever be missed.

Hope


Blu, 01/20/01

Blucious, you filled our lives with joy for many years, we hope we made you just as happy with tummy rubs and scallops.
We can't wait to see you again on the Rainbow Bridge.

Blue, 04/20/93-6/2/00

Blue Its been 1 year now since your death you were so suddenly taken away from us you died at 830 a.m. and dad had you buried by 9 a.m out by the barn over looking the horses as you always did we never got to say good bye it was a freak accident something that never should have happened I miss you so very much I cry every time I think of you sweet one I only pray that you did not feel any pain. which I don't think you did. Please blue know that me and dad love you and Tippy to he still looks for you.

Blue was a GOOD DOG! She will always be in our hearts and those of her Fur-family; Chloe, Erin, Kelly, and Sam. We love you "Boo-Boo." Diane & Joe Pomerenk


Blue Barry, 1996

To Blue, a.k.a. Wooter:

You died in 1996, having been my best friend for fifteen years, since I was eight years old. I think of you everyday, and I miss you very much.

Even though I love all dogs, and I have another friend to share my life with, there will never be another dog like you. You were warm and loyal and handsome. You had a big black nose! Your tail was always happy, and you danced when I scratched your behind. You loved me unconditionally even when I was not old enough to know how to love and respect you all the time. You were patient and forgiving. I am sorry I was not there to hold you when you died. I know you are at peace, perhaps looking down on me proud that you helped make me the loving, gentle, caring friend I am today. I thank God for you.

love, Bos

Blue Eyes, adopted 12/16/00-01/06/01

He was an unwanted, unloved, unnamed lovebird that many people worked to save and became the beloved pet to a grateful owner who named him Blue Eyes. So many people came to love him in his 3 weeks with us and I hope he felt that love. Now he feels no more pain, he can run and hop and fly in the sunshine that he loved so much. I know they were waiting there for you at the bridge and I will find you all when I come home, then we can fly together. We love you always.....


Blue J & Sweetie, 08/16/01

August 16th, 2001

I knew eventually I would have to write this but, I had no idea it would be so soon. I knew that you both were missing Bud (especially you Sweetie). I hope that he was there to meet you when you both crossed over to the Bridge. This is so hard for me to do. I am still not sure that the decision I made was right.

I am glad that I took you both out of the home you were in and gave you a happy life for as long as I possibly could. I would like to think that the time you kids spent in my care was worth it. I know that you were suffering Blue J. I knew the best thing, the last thing I could do for you was to release you from the pain and suffering.

It's the decision to send you along Sweetie that haunts my mind. I know that you had been ill for quite some time and despite seemingly endless tests, we could find nothing. The last few months without Bud you seemed to have lost you zest for life. When I brought you along to see the vet with Blue J she mentioned one more treatment to try. I thought it would be too much for you to have to deal with the loss of your brother and daily medication. I though the kindest thing to do would be to send you along to Rainbow Bridge.

Since you and Blue J had always been together in life I felt it was unfair to separate you in death. I hope that I made the right decision. The look in your eyes when I came home from the vets without Bud was heart breaking. I couldn't bear putting you through that emotional trauma again. I thought you would be happier with Bud and Blue J.

Please know that my decisions for both of you were made out of love and came straight from the heart. I know that you are all united happy and healthy again. Tell all the members of "our" flock that we love and miss them and watch over us. Please meet me at the Bridge when it is my time. Until then my pretty little "keety kids"....

Love Always,

JENN & Don

She gave her love unconditionally, and was gentle, and loving, right to the end.

Blue Mist, 7/13/01

His name was Blue Mist a grey Arab Gelding He was spirited and stood so proud and once could gallop all day
As time marched on his legs grew tired and no longer could he canter and pace upon the ground
He tried really hard to stay on that day but found the task too great
I love him and miss him and find this tribute a little Hard
To a faithful friend who grew up with me and leant me his neck to hug and a shoulder so strong. Be free my friend and fly high as you did in this life as I know you will in the next.


Blue Zeus, 2000

We got Blue about six months after the death of our older cat Ursus. I never intended to ever get attached to another pet as much as I had been attached to Ursus. Was I ever wrong.

Blue was the sweetest most affectionate cat I have ever known. He slept on our pillow every night and was in your lap at every opportunity. He was a blue mackerel tabby Maine Coon and weighed in at about 22 lbs. when he was three and was just a huge presence in our home.

Blue appeared to be in perfect health until he died in his sleep from an apparent heart attack. An autopsy revealed that he had a congenital heart disorder. The vet was surprised that he lived as long as he did. My only consolation is that he died in his sleep and apparently felt no pain or discomfort. The night before his death he was as loving and playful as ever. That was a good way to remember him.

The morning of his death my two year old woke and asked to see "her bluzey". It brought us to tears all over again. We explained that her was with the angels and couldn't come back home. Over a year later she still says she misses him and that she wants him to come home.

So do I.

We miss you Bluzey.

Bo, 12/03/87-12/03/01

My dearest Bo. You are my special baby and I will miss you like no other. I love you so much. It is so like you to pass on your birthday. You arranged for me to forever be deeply sad and then turn around and be joyfully happy on that same day. Like always, you're taking care of me! I don't quite know how to do this without you. I will miss your sweet face and soft ears. I will miss you every day. Please guide me and watch over me. We still have Zach to take care of! Take care my forever friend. I will RUN across that rainbow bridge when it's time to see you again. I will hold you forever. Until then..all my love. - Mom


Bo, 11/28/89-08/29/01

You are finally safe at home and rest. No more pain and no more sorrow my dear Bo. I will miss you, but I know that you are at Rainbow Bridge playing with One. I will love you always.

Bo, 10/01/95-08/29/01

Bo was the most loved little dog on this earth...and he is the most loved little dog at Rainbow bridge. Mommy and Hopey love you and miss you terribly...I hope you are chasing cats and chewing on coke bottles. Be happy "Big Dog", we love you.

Jennifer Long


Bo, 06/14/01

Bo you were always there for 10 years, putting up with the various animals we took in. But no one compares to you, and you are sadly missed! Life without you seems bleak, but we'll live on remembering your patience, your love, and your trust, even in the end. Oh, how I wish I had you back!

Melissa Eveland


Bo, 03/17/95-05/19/01

Bo, we remember when you were born because it was a special day, St. Patrick's Day, which also happened to be our grandfather's birthday. You were the runt of the litter, the sweetest cat a family could ask for, and another thing that made you so special was the fact that Mom was the one who saw you being born. You have given us a lot of memories and we love you and miss you and can't wait to be with you again.

Cheryl, Sherrie & Stephanie


Bo, 05/22/01

Our Bo was really a wonderful boy! He was with us for 15 years and was as much a child to us as a child could be. He came to live with us at 3 weeks old because his birth Mother could not feed him. His new Mama fed him with a bottle and a spoon and rocked him to sleep in her hands. Some would say that he would never make it but we had him for many, many years! He would sit up and beg, play the growly growly game, and play hide and seek searching for his Mama hiding in a closet or behind something while Daddy encouraged the game. He was nicknamed "Turkey" by his Daddy and Bodey by his Mama. His Grampa always called him Bo-datious. He was a wonderful and special part of our family and ever so loved! We want to pay tribute to him because he gave us back the love he received and we will never forget his little life that was shared with us. We laid him to rest under the roses in our garden. We believe that God has a special place where he puts animals when they die and we know that is where Bo has gone.

Bo, 10/10/88-03/17/01

You have been my best friend for 12 years.
We have spent many hours playing together.
We have shared many happy moments & will always treasure all those wonderful times.
Now I am left with precious memories that will always be kept in my heart & so special to me.
Love you Bo,

Bo, 08/16/92-02/02/01

I miss you so much! It was such a blessing to have you in my life. You were a wonderful friend and companion. My heart aches for you. Rest peacefully in God's loving arms. Always stay near me. I love you Bo. Until we meet again...

Bob, 06/08/99

My best friend Bob died on 06-08-99. He was a special cat to me and was around 2 years old. I had trapped him as a 6 month old feral and tamed him to the point where he would groom me at night as I was sleeping. I loved him dearly and still have his "sister Honey " who was rescued with him. I miss him deeply even though he has been gone more than 2 years now. I wait for the day I will see him again. I love you Bob. Cindy Bailey


Bob, 09/18/01

Bob was my sweet smile.
He was full of love for me and very happy to be in my life, his favorite things were a good solid scritch under the chin, nothing mellow bout this hunter, cardboard boxes and momma whistling a classic tune. He had an ear for music and when I whistled a tune with the breaks in the wrong spot he would look at me and meow to get it right.
He will be so sadly missed and I am given the blessing of his faithfulness to me. He will be longed for in the mornings when he used to race me down the hallway on my way to get me coffee. He will be very missed by his girlfriend Pam who he would wait for at the door every morning when she would come over for our morning moment of serenity.
Good bye fuzzy-face. Wait for me to rub your butt when I get there.


Bob, 11/20/84-1999

Bob was the best pet to grow-up with.
He was special to each family member. Extra special to me.
No other cat would let me dress them up in doll clothes and parade them in buggies. He would just lie there with a blissed out look on his face.
I love him.

Joanna


Bob, 06/01/96-06/11/01

Bob loved his friend Buck so much, and three weeks after Buck went to the Bridge, Bob has joined him. Bob had the softest ears of any doggie I ever met. He was a warm and loving friend to all his family - human, doggie and cat.
Bob will be sorely missed. Even his bunny friend will miss him.

Bob, 01/17/01

Bob passed away suddenly he showed no signs of being ill, until he was to sick to be treated, for three days he stayed at the vet hospital, when they thought he was getting better they sent him home only for him to pass away in my arms 4 hours later. I guess he wanted too be with his mom one last time.

Bo Bo, you mean so much to us, especially to me. We love you so much. we never thought that you would leave us so soon. We are so hurt. Please be happy. Just remember that we will meet some day. Just wait for me. Even though your body is not with us, I know that your spirit remains. Please trust me -- we will meet and hug and kiss each other and we will be together forever. Just wait for me and be happy. We Love You, Bo Bo, we love you, we love you ......... Bo Bo, please forgive us for whatever we have done in your life hurting you, we didn't mean it. We are very sorry that I could not make your life a perfect one, but one thing for sure is that You made our days very joyful and fulfilling while you were here. We owe you too much, Bo Bo. Please come and visit us often. Life is so empty without you. There is nothing in the whole world that can replace you. Bo Bo, we will be remembering and loving you till the end of our days. Love, Master Lily & Sam.


BoBo

Dear BoBo

I am very very sorry I left you behind 12 years ago in Hong Kong when we emigrated to Canada. It is the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. I owe you so much. May 12, 1989 was the last time I saw you. I did want to take you back but when I saw how upset you new owner was, I let him have you. I wish I never did that. Although I did arrange for you to come over in September when he did not want you any more, the damned kennel let you run away. I dot know what happened to you, but I guess probably are had been gone for a long time. BoBo, if I ever owe anyone, it would be you. Mommy feels very guilty of leaving you behind. If I had the chance, I would never do it again. Please forgive me. I hope whatever form you are in, you have a very happy and free life, free from worry, free from fear, free from hunger, free from all sufferings. I wish you all the best wherever and whatever you are, forever.

Bob Ocan, 02/16/01

This is a tribute to a very special friend that I had the privilege of getting to know on my first trip to Arizona.

One who everyone loved, especially John. Whose happy face, friendly eyes and wagging tail none could resist!

In recognition of the unconditional love and companionship you provided Jack and the girls, since you graced them with your presence in 1994.

You will be sadly missed by all how knew you, especially your dad, Remi, Winny and Panda. You were one-of-a-kind and can never be replaced in our hearts. The only comfort that we have now is the memory of you and the hope of seeing you again, when we all go home.

Until then, Bob Ocan, you angel dog, we'll miss you terribly!

Love,

Nancy Cuz

Bodhi, 12/30/93-04/23/01

You taught me what it was to love and to be loved. You were and are my best friend. I love you to the end of the stars and back. Bodhi, you were taken from me at the early age of 7 from a rare liver condition. In those 7 years I learned more from you than some people learn in a life time. You died in my arms and I am grateful I was there for you and help you cross over. When my time comes I hope you are there to help me, as I know you will be. My heart is forever broken with you being gone. I miss you more than I can explain. You will live on in my heart and in my thoughts. I love you Boo Bear.

Bodie, 05/19/86-06/20/01

Bodie was truely my best friend.
He was my friend, helpmate, confidant, fitness trainer and co-conspirator in many a adventure.
He helped me raise 3 beautiful children. He was their playmate, nanny and protector.
He helped me live through a broken marriage, helped me care for both my parents through their last years, giving them laughter, love, and companionship. And when it was time to help them cross the bridge from life to eternity, he helped give me the strength I needed to let them go, and then was there to help me through the sorrow, pain and emptiness with his love and gentleness, giving me a reason to get up in the morning and go on.
He helped me to find a new love in my life, giving his approval, (I always trusted his opinion of people), he then shared with him, his trust, love and companionship.
It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do - the day I had to love my friend enough to let him go on ahead of me.
I miss him everyday...but I know when it is my time to cross that bridge, he will be there waiting for me, with that tail wagging, ready to share it all with me...
I will never forget my friend, and will wait, sometimes impatiently for the time we will meet again.

Bogey was my pal, my buddy. he always greeted me when I'd come home from school..would go to the shopping area and wait outside the store for me..a neighbor ran over him cause he wasn't walking across her driveway fast enough. he never wandered off, so I don't know how it happened. he was a sweet dog!

We miss you terribly, but you know that!

Bogie, 11/08/88-04/06/01

Bogie, our 12 yr. old male black lab, was born on Nov. 8, 1988. He came to our home at 6 months old thru an ad in the paper and it didn't take long to realize he'd been beaten and abused. He was scared of the gray collar we placed around his neck and when we put him on a leash to go for a walk, he cowered on the ground and wouldn't move. We realized we couldn't make any sudden movements around him or drop anything near him or he would immediately run and hide under our bed. He made a lot of progress with us during the time he blessed us in our home. He came to trust us and soon realized that we would never raise a hand to him or hurt him in any way. I guess we spoiled him because he was so afraid. He soon came to take over the house, sleeping on the furniture or in our waterbed. As much as I've complained over the years about him being sprawled out on the loveseat and leaving us without a place to sit and watch TV, I miss seeing him there now. I miss the muddy footprints across the kitchen floor and I miss the mud and dog hair I'd find on my bed each night. I find myself sitting on the couch and reaching my hand over to pet him, even though he's not there. I miss coming home and having him lying at the top of the stairs with his front legs crossed, waiting for us to come home to him. I miss the tail that was so long and wirery, the tail that wagged so much we often joked about tying a feather duster on it so he could dust as he wagged thru the house. These past few months have been hard on us as we watched his health start to deteriorate. He had tumors in his mouth, on his back and on his stomach. He couldn't play as much as before and started sleeping more and more. He no longer could jump up into our waterbed so we would pick him up and place him on the bed. We knew the warmth of the bed helped him. A few weeks ago, he started falling down the stairs. We would walk him on a leash down the stairs to the backyard to use the bathroom. Our bedroom is downstairs under the livingroom and I would lay in bed and listen for him. You could hear him moving around, making the couch squeak or walking to the kitchen for a drink or food. He would then want to come downstairs and sleep with us (we bought him a bed for the floor next to my side of the bed). I would listen for him to be ready to come downstairs so I could get up and help him down. The silence above me at night is now the most deafening sound I've ever heard. It was days before I could sleep without tears soaking my pillow. On Friday, April 6, 2001 we drove Bogie to the vet and had him put to sleep. It was the most heart wrenching thing I've ever done. My husband, myself and our 3 daughters all went with him. We've had many dogs come and go thru our home. We're dog people. But, Bogie has always stayed with us. Puppies who just didn't fit into our family we found new homes for. Strays we took in, we found new homes for. But Bogie was different. He was a constant part of our family. He was part of us. We'd just lost a dachshund when he broke his back last April and that was the first dog we'd ever lost to death. This though, was our first experience with having to have a member of our family put to sleep. With 4 of us gathered around Bogie on the floor in the vet's office (my middle daughter waited outside) they gave him the injection as we petted him, cried for him and told him how much we loved him. He turned quickly and buried his face in my lap as he took his last breath. I wanted to die along with him. I have never experienced such heartbreak as I did just 6 days ago. His presence is everywhere in our home. I look for him on the couch and beside my bed. I miss him so very much. We pick up his ashes and urn today. He will be placed on the shelf of my dresser next to Shadow. His gray collar sits there now, the same collar he was so afraid of 12 yrs. ago. We still have Kiara a 2 yr. old weimereimer and Little Bit a 6 yr. old dachshund. They wander around the house and look for him too. Bogie was very special to us. The words I've written do not seem to do him justice. Finding words to describe how much a furry black lab mix who got a nickname of Bogie Butt because he would freely chomp on or nudge your butt when he wanted attention touched our lives is next to impossible. I guess all that's left to say is this........
Bogie....born 11-08-88........died 04-06-01
Gone from this world.....but never from our hearts.

Sorry about Bo, she had a great and very happy life with all of us and now it was finally her time to move on.
I will never forget about all the times we , me and Mikey, would take her to the beach or the park and Dog parks.
She always protected us and watched over us and loved us all. Smart as a whip. But most importantly she lived a happy doggy life with us.
Here's to Bonita !! the best dog a little boy ever could have had.

Love forever Bo,
Daddy Mike

On Sunday October 28th, 2001 I had to send my beloved dog Bonita to the bridge. She was an Australian Shepherd mix, and a smarter, sweeter, more beautiful friend never existed. She was about 13 1/2 years old, we are not exactly sure as she was a stray, but she was loved and loved us every day of her wonderful life. I miss her so much and I hope to see her again someday.

Bonita, 1987-2001

Our sweet little girl has traveled to the Rainbow Bridge and we miss her terribly.
A tiny little Yorkie with a great personality and ego like a Great Dane became a part of our family 8 weeks old and was loved an spoiled from the very first day and until she past on 14 years later. She did not care for the cold winters in our homeland Norway, and could not have been happier when we later moved to Florida where she spent her senior years. Wonderful loyal she instinctively knew if anything was wrong and would comfort anyone who needed extra attention. Jealous if anyone got more kisses than she did, grumpy if she had a bad hair day. She was almost human in so many ways. Daddy's little Princess and Mammy's little Baby, our hearts are broken. It was the hardest thing we ever had to do, but also the most loving thing we could do for you now. We could not let you suffer and there was nothing more anyone could do. So run free little angel, we know you are safe and happy now until we meet again.

Bonnie - Aka Bon Bon, Mum'S, Bon, Old Girl, 02/06/89-10/05/01 Camera Icon

I lost my best mate in the whole world on Friday 5th October 2001. Bonnie was the best thing that ever happened to me; from the day Bonnie was born 2nd June 1989 she changed my life so much. She taught me to love. Bonnie was my mate, my companion, protector, but best of all she was my dog Bon.
I miss her terribly. Its been a week or just over and I still feel lost and alone. I have never done anything that hard in my life. (that is putting my best mate to sleep) I know it was for the best but its still damn hard. One of the best things I did before Bon went to Rainbow bridge was I had some photos taken of us together I am so pleased. I found great solace in this. I was introduced to this site by a friend sending me the rainbow bridge story and I balled my eyes out. I don't really know how to feel about Bon's ashes coming home soon. I don't even know how long before they will be here, and I don't know what I'm going to have enscripted on the plaque. I'm just lost with out my mate. God I wish she was here. I just long to rub my face and pat you on top of your head, where your fur was so soft. She was such a great comfort to me. When ever I was feeling down Bonnie would come over by my side look up at me with those beautiful brown eyes, then give my hand a nudge to give her a pat. Bon would look at you and just melt your heart away. Bon had that knack of making every thing seem as if it was ok. Right to the end she was there for me. Bon went to sleep with her head in my arms, as I looked into her eyes and stroked her soft velvety head. I really miss her. Well I know I will see you again one day old girl. I love you Bon and till we meet again keep catching that tennis ball you loved so much.(It will be cremated with Bon) I love you Bon. See you soon old girl. Lots and lots of love always, your mate Janine xxxxxxxxxxxx


Bonnie, 07/19/01

Oh, my Baby....I am so sorry. You gave me the unconditional love that will live in my heart and soul for eternity. You are a part of me now and forever. I can only pray for the day we are together again and I can hold you once more. I Love you with every inch of my Soul and I will miss you with each breath I take. Oh please let me know I made the right decision for you.

I Love You Bonnie Baby

Bonnie

My Beloved Bonnie,
I can't begin to tell you how much we miss you. I want to tell you how happy you made me the last 13 years I was blessed to have you. Never have I seen such loyalty and love. You were there for me no matter what, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you more than I can describe. You were my special baby.
I know you are happier now that you aren't in pain anymore. That gives me a little comfort, for I long for your companionship again. I will never forget you, and you will always be in my heart forever. Good-bye my precious cockapoo.

Love,
Mommy

My Precious Sweet Bonnie

You were with me 13 and ½ years. We went through so many joys and happiness together. You will always be with me. In my heart. You have made me who I am today. You only had a cold once in all those years when you were a little older than a year, caught at the vets office when you had your female surgery. Recovered and went on to become my very best friend, little one. You were always there for me. I am finding it very hard going on without you, your voice, your warmth, and your beautiful blue eyes when you looked at me, your unconditional love for me. When you got sick, I could see your pain and knew the time was near. I could see it in your eyes. You and I tried everything we could. You always had that little "Bless You" for me when I sneezed, even at your weakest moment. I stayed with you as you escaped your pain, as you crossed the bridge. As the song says, the moon will rise, the sun will set, but I won't forget…Until we meet again. We love you.

God looked around his heavens above,
And wanted my sweet Bonnie to Love.
He saw what a beautiful Angel you would make,
My beautiful sweet precious Bonnie God would take.

You are so pure,
I wish we could have found a cure.
I knew when it was time for you to say goodbye
But I was so reluctant to let you fly

That Sunday night you let me know,
The time was getting close for you to let go.
I miss you every day and every night,
I have your pictures always in my sight.
You are always in my heart, part of my soul,
To see you again is my goal.

Mommy, sister Gizmo, and brother Cujo


Bonnie, 11/20/77-01/02/00

Bonnie Cat we miss you so much and your heartbeat is missing from our lives. But when we are still we can feel you nuzzling your head against ours and purring your soothing purr.

Be well until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge and continue our journey together once more.

We love you.

Bonzer was our beloved child, our little Boy. He was more than our comfort, companion, protector. He was the Sunshine of our lives. He passed away ravaged from lung & liver cancer, but in our arms because we had to make the hardest decision of our lives. But we know in our souls it was the Right thing to do to help him. We know he understands. We know he is playing Ring with the angels and waiting for us. Altho he has been gone for a year now, he is still deeply mourned and deeply missed every single day by his Mommy & Daddy, Matilda and Sophie.

Boo Bear, 1987-04/11/01

Boo's ashes are now in the urn next to his brother and sister, back home where he belongs. Three in one year - how much more loss can a Mama's heart take? Boo Bear, especially, breaks my heart because the sweet boy he was. Boo Bear gave me the best 15 years of love I could ever ask for, and his loss leaves a big empty place on my couch and in my heart. My floppy moppy Boo Bear, with his ripped ear and goofy walk everyone teased him about, was the gentlest, big ol lug of a critter anyone ever saw. Boo Bear showed me so much with his innocence - I never knew how different the world looked upside down till I got on the floor with Boo and saw it looking up with him, Boo Bear had an innocent wide-eyed curiosity that made him so cute to watch as the world fascinated him. But more than anything, Boo Bear had a love for everyone which reflected a kind of God's love that any human except Jesus could ever come close to. All Boo Bear wanted was attention, hugs, petting, cuddling, and he was in love with whoever it was that provided that to him. Everyone loved Boo Bear, and Boo Bear loved everyone back. Boo had almost died as a kitten, so he had an extra peace with life that most don't understand. But he was Mama's boy and I'm going to be so lost without him. It's going to be so very lonely reading my Bible in the morning without Boo on my lap, no one to share my yogurt with anymore, no more fat, furry, cuddly body vibrating with purrs to put my head next to as I fall asleep at night. How am I ever going to get through missing my Boo Bear until I meet him in heaven? I can only think, as I pray in the morning, that Boo Bear is up there drowning out the angels with his purrs.


Boobies, 01/01/92-02/13/01

Boobies, I am so sorry that I trusted you. Trust got you killed. If I had gone looking for you sooner that morning, you would have been safe in the house instead of killed by a car. I should have known better, but I never thought you would go near the road. I know that you and Heidi are together again, waiting for Mom and Dad at the Rainbow Bridge. We Love you sweet Boobies and always will, you will live in our hearts forever. Sleep Softly Precious Baby Girl.
Love Always,

My sweet Boo Boo went to Heaven this morning after suffering liver failure two weeks ago.
I fell in love with him after finding him in lost in my apartment parking lot a year and a half ago.
Texas Siamese Rescue spent a fortune on his many illnesses including an amputation and infected bite on his back. They put him on their 2001 calendar cover as a "rescued cat of distinction".
His appreciation was shown to me a 1,000 times over and we only had a short time together but I loved him so much. It will be hard but I know I will see my healthy boy in Heaven some day.

Boo-Boy, 07/00-04/09/01

My dearest Boo-Boy, it almost killed me to lose you yesterday. You were so tiny, and were one of the lights of my life this past year. I will miss you, your confidence, your affection, and the way you liked to bathe those you were close to. I've never had another kitty who was like you--you were such an individual. Dommy misses you already, and I know he wishes you'd come home. You were only in our lives for 7 short months, but I will never forget you. I'm glad I got to be your Mamma, even if it was for only a little while.

Booey, 1984-08/27/01

August 2001 I'm sending this note to a few friends who I know love Springer Spaniels and other dogs: Booey -- A Rescue Springer On July 2, 1988, a small three-and-a-half year old Rescue Springer Spaniel came into my life and for over the next thirteen years we were nearly inseparable - we would have been inseparable if he could have had his way. We had the best of times together, but those times were not to be forever. As he grew older he was not as active, but he was just as much of a joy to be with. It was in his old age that he discovered that it was more fun to lie on the sofa in the evening rather than lie on the floor - and on the sofa he would be with his head in my lap. But that did not stop the aging process. On August 27, 2001 he awoke too weak to stand on his own - he was over sixteen-and-a-half years old. I was heartbroken as I phoned the vet and then drove down there. Boo was able to stand up at the vet's office, perhaps it was a sense of pride, but then he fell down. He was very weak, he was very frail, and he was very confused. I again picked him up and held him in my arms. Together we knew that a certain time had come. And as he peacefully passed into an everlasting sleep, I held him, and I was close to him, and we were together. Booey now enjoys an eternal sleep and rest on the top of a knoll within sound of a stream, deep in the woods behind my house - woods that he so often ran through. There will be a well trodden path down to his grave. And no, Booey did not have to thank me for having taken care of him. I am the one who will forever be grateful for the care that he gave to me. And someday there may be another Springer Spaniel in my life to walk through those woods and down to that stream. (Booey was the successor to Dudley, a Springer Spaniel who had owned me for fourteen years. And Dudley had been the successor to my little mutt named Pogo whose best neighborhood friend had been an earlier Springer named Dudley.) Maybe it will be another ìolderî Rescue Springer or maybe I will happen upon a young puppy who grabs my heart. But, what will be expected of that Springer and what will I give in return? -- That Springer Spaniel will have to love the out-of-doors, to want to run through fields and woods - mine, the neighbors and the mountains of New Hampshire. That Springer Spaniel will have to be warm and friendly, clever and mischievous, full of energy and possessive of a personality that warms the hearts of everyone he meets. And in return for all of that I will give to him everything that he could ever want: good food and clean water, walks and hikes, tennis balls to toss around, love and attention, the best veterinary care possible (though he may dislike the annual visits to the vet), and a corner of my bed. And so, if, in a few months, you hear of such a dog needing a home, let me know. For there is one little Rescue Springer named Booey who, now, in his eternal rest, knows that I loved him just as he loved me and that it would be best now for another Springer Spaniel to share his life with me rather than for me to live only with the tears of both joy and sadness that have been my lot for the past few days.

We've lost our special little guy. Boogster was sweet and cuddly and his big expressive eyes could melt your heart. We won't forget the things he loved - hugs, cheesies, waking us up at the exact same time every morning... We see him around every corner, in every room. He has left a void in our lives and we will always cherish the time we had with him. We miss you, little bear.

Our Golden Baby Boomer,

The noblest of souls...you were and always will be. Boomy, darling, there is a great void in our home and in our hearts since you have gone to sleep.

Today I came home to an empty living room. I am not certain home will ever be quite right again without you here.

My hope is that you would agree that it was time to leave us. Sweetheart, we could not stand to see you suffer anymore.

You lived for us. You lived for your "Pop" and your precious time playing ball in the yard, season after season, year after year. You lived to be by our sides. And for that, we are debt to you for the remainder of our lives.

Boomer, you were one of my greatest loves. Please know that your place in my heart is unique and eternal. You left us with your immeasurable dignity intact.

I comfort myself by imagining you and Pumpkin together again. Take care of each for me. This idea will keep me going.

Baby Boomer, I believe Dr. Ianson said it best: " ' Laid to rest an old and very good friend. A very kind decision. ' "

We love you forever. You are the noble, sensitive, loving, dignified soul I aspire to be.

You are a genuine angel. Sleep in peace my sweetheart; my dear old friend.

I love you, Kate

I look around at where you laid; my hands ache to run thru your fur. Your gentle eyes – the way they were. The gentleman you proved to be, and all the love you had for me. That last look as you left me there, the words and rhymes that filled the air.

I miss you more than yesterday, and ever more tomorrow. You glanced at me as if to say “be still and feel me beating in your heart and know we’ll never be apart. I’m the shadow on the ground, the sunshine in your hair, I’m whisper in the wind, and I’ll be there til the end, And you know, the special love we shared, will always be there.

Every day, As your memories fill my heart, some things that I’ve forgot, brings a new meaning to the love I feel for you. The way you made me laugh, the wet kisses that you gave, the smile you imprinted in my heart, I know those words were from you, and one day we'll find each other all anew. Until that day comes, your blanket remains at my feet, and pictures in my sight.

You were my little man in fur. You won my heart, put laughter in my soul. And for all those nites you kept me awake, and in great delight, the messes you'd make. You'd look so guilty and yet so cute. I couldn't get mad and now it seems mute. Your bright eyes are gone with the liner so perfect.

For now I will grieve, and when I close my eyes, you’ll be in my dreams and as for my heart…………your already there.

Boomers mom (some words from Lonestar "I'm already there")

He prances (does his walk) now in the Heavens with, Muffin. Classy, Charismatic, Mischievous (especially in puppyhood), a 5 star chow hound, truly a lover of life and always tried to please. Boomer, was and always will be my best friend. May God rest your soul our beloved, Boomer, for some day we will all be together again.

To the most wonderful little guy with the most unique personality who gave us so much love with all his being for the past 6 years. We love and miss you Boomer with all our hearts. You were so special to us, you will always be in our hearts and in our minds. We can see you sitting on the hearth in fron of the fire or sitting on the kitchen chair watching everyone. Greeting everyone as they came in with your tag wagging, zooming around the pool as we swam. Just having a ball for yourself. Many times hoping as you ran chasing something. Making sure Johnny stayed in line, you let him know who was boss. Accepting all our friends and welcoming them into our home, and loving them like he did for us. Going to visit our neighbor and scratching at there door to get in. Playing with your toys, throwing them into the air and catching them while we laughed and enjoyed watching you. You were the most unique little dog, the most loved little dog, no one can ever replace you Boomer and like Grandpa use to say "We love you so much it hurts."

John, Angie, Maria, Sam, and John Michael


Boomer, 05/18/01

I miss you everyday in everyway. I pray you are at peace and that in your last minutes you did not suffer. I only wish I could have been there. I love you so much.

Boomer, 03/08/88-04/24/00

It has been a year since you crossed the Rainbow Bridge. It has not been easy to face each day without your wagging tail and lots of your kisses. I would give anything to be able to come home from work and before I open the door to hear your bark. You would be there at the back door with your tennis ball in your mouth and you would "Moof Moof" at me !!!! I miss you terribly and I have your pictures with me all the time. Not that I would ever forget what you looked like but only because this way I can have you with me at all times. You were my best friend and my companion for 12 years. You taught me patience, integrity and the real meaning of unconditional love. I love you, Boomer! Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge--I'll see you in my dreams........
Your Mommy-
Judy

Our Baby was a wonderful little guy and as sweet as could be, he didn't deserve to suffer from Leukemia, I miss him terribly and the void that I feel can never again be filled.
Suffer no more my baby Boomer. I love you with all my heart.

As our foster dog, we only had 3 short weeks to get to know Boomer. He will forever live in our hearts.

Boomer, 10/27/00-02/22/01 Camera Icon

Our newest yellow Labrador Retriever here at Kimbrook was Kimberly's Rocket Shot. This smart-witted loving pup quickly took reign of our family's heart and soul. He became affectionately known as Boomer, Boom-Boom, Little Man and more often than not was referred to as Little Guy by our six year old son. However, as many of his pet names suggest Boomer was not little at all. In fact he was much larger than most of his litter mates and his front paws were huge. Even when he was a smaller pup his size and stature rivaled our adult girls. He was truly an outstanding progeny as he clumsily ran about our house as puppies do. After Kim and I drove 4 hours to pick Boomer up he instantly became spoiled. He reminded all of our other labs what it was to be a puppy again. I am almost certain he convinced our two cats that they were also part puppy. More importantly, he showed us what we were as humans. If you were happy, sad or just depressed the little guy's affection for you never swayed. He reminded you what laughing and smiling was all about and was always eager to please. Most of his days consisted of playfully attacking the labs and cats. He had many gestures and could almost talk to you with his quirky barks. On command he would sit and would speak for a treat almost like saying "momma please." He would bark anxiously while sitting on the bed because he was a bit afraid of his landings. This was understood as "momma please pick me up and put me down." When little man grew tired he always slept at or on our heads. He really enjoyed taking naps at Kim's feet while she worked at the computer also. Boomer had really never met anyone or anything he did not like but time. At seventeen weeks old the life of Boomer was brought to a crossroads and his life ended abruptly. The morning of February 22, 2001 at around 2:30 a.m. Boomer began experiencing signs of nausea, followed by repeated episodes of dry heaving. Ultimately, this produced bloat and massive abdominal distention. Kim noticed a sudden change in the little guy's behavior and this prompted her and my step-mother to rush him to a distant after hours emergency vet specialty clinic. One hour later we received the devastating news that our little guy would probably not live much longer. He had been struck with a condition common to the large breed canine known as Gastric Dilation Volvulus or GDV and Torsion/Bloat. This dire emergency condition literally inverts the stomach causing the esophagus to twist which causes cardiovascular compromise/shock, excessive gas entrapment and the restriction in the blood flow kills vital organs and tissue. All producing a very painful and often fatal result. His condition rapidly deteriorated and placed him into cardiac shock. The attending veterinarian consulted a specialist over the phone and surgical intervention was quoted at $3000-$4500. This costly procedure alone would probably take the pup's young, vivacious life. Future prognosis was slated as dismal due to the fact of future reoccurrence and his cardiovascular system would more than likely be impaired to one degree or another. The painful decision was made to put Boomer to sleep with euthanasia. Our little man's journey was redirected to a better place than even the easy, love filled life we showed and shared with him. If indeed there is no heaven for our little man, we all have a place deep in our hearts and our souls that he can run forever free. The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. Good-bye Boomer, you are missed and we love you! Mom, Dad, Josh, Aaron and your pet friends Autumn, Talulah, Jack, Heidi and Brandy.


Boomer, 2/8/01

To my sweetheart Boomer,
You were the king of all cats. The love that you gave us for 19 years will never be forgotten. You were surely a blessing in our lives. I know I did the right thing to send you to heaven my baby. You were so tired. Please look down on us and remember all of our beautiful memories.. You will live in our hearts forever...We will forever hear your meowing in the morning for your breakfast. You were truly an angel. Breezie and Codey will miss you dearly. Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge my little king, know that your memory will live with us all forever and a day. Love, Mommy, Gary and Shane


Boots, 05/07/01

I knew that eventually I'd have to let go of you, but it is always too soon. I'm glad that I was there when you decided to leave. After taking care of you for over 10 years, I feel like you were my cat, even though I didn't originally pick you out. I know that my big sis Rachel is up there in heaven taking care of her cat now. I suppose it all worked out nicely.
I'll miss you, and can't wait to see you again. I miss your sassy attitude and your paws on the floor, but especially miss you sleeping at my feet at night, never disturbing me. I love you. Take care. I hope you like the purple flowers.
Love Always,
Laura


Boots, 06/01/88-01/15/01

I hope Boots is in a better place and out of pain.

I love you BooBoo Kitty, and I always will miss hearing you push my bedroom door open at 3:00 in the morning, or climbing in or out of your box in my closet. Be good and I'll see you someday again.

Boppydoo, 2/20/85-9/01

I found out this week that a special friend died last month, a childhood friend, a friend who came into my life when I was five years old. A black and white cat by the name of Boppydoo.

He was my brother's cat in the beginning. My brother, who was only three at the time, couldn't decide on a name. Dad suggested "Rainier" for our nearby Mt. Rainier. Keith liked that but liked other names too. He came up with "Blackish" and "Whitish" for the little kitten's coat colors -- I suppose this was a little kids version of "Blackey" or "Whitey". And the "Boppydoo" part of the name? No one knows where Keith came up with this. In the end, he decided to put them all together into "Rainier Boppydoo Blackish Whitish" - but we have always called him simply Boppydoo.

Boppydoo was with us for so many years. He became more of a family cat than just my brother's. He was there through my school years, right up to the beginning of my fourth year in college. I moved away from home after my second college year, transferring from the nearby community college to a large university across the state. Boppydoo was beginning to show his age that summer - I did not think I'd see him again once I left. But I was wrong. He was still there, still happy and lively when I came home for Christmas that year. And again when I came home for summer vacation he was there. That was this summer. We shared three wonderful months together. I learned that every moment we had was precious. I knew it would not last. When I left again this time, I knew it would be the last time I would see him. On that last Saturday morning, August 25, 2001, I petted my old friend one last time. I kissed him and told him I loved him. He was happy that day, enjoying the summer sunshine. I have a picture of him sleeping under the picnic table on the deck in the sun that day. Those were my last sights of Boppydoo. I thought about him frequently after I returned to school. Then, on Sunday October 14th, I talked to my mom on the phone. She told me that Boppydoo was gone, about three weeks earlier. She said his time had come. He went peacefully, purring until the end.

Boppydoo is the last of my childhood pets to move on to Rainbow Bridge. I don't remember life without this cat. My life will go on, but it has been forever changed. I will always have a special place in my heart for Boppydoo, my friend for so many years.

Bosch, 2/18/90-12/5/01

I need to tell everything out there in the universe, that Boschie was the goodest bear that ever was. He's missed every single second of every single day and will be from now on. This house is too quiet without him, and the cats have all changed places in honor of him being gone. I had a vision of him. Up and running over sunny hills, like he hasn't done for a long, long time. He was smilo and otis once more, and that's all I've ever wanted for him. No more pain. There will never be another soul like him in my life, pup or not. You are more than loved Losholificus....see you soon Lore.


Bose Brown, 04/05/01

"Bose" was one of the best dogs in the whole world! She was a mutt and we loved her dearly. She died just a few months short of her 7th birthday, which was way too young for any pet to die. We have 3 other dogs, but there still is that special place that no other dog can fill. We'll see you in heaven girl!

Ruth


Boss, 04/21/91-11/01/01

This wonderful pet gave our family 10 years of devotion and love. In return we gave him all the love the bond we had could give. He will remain in our hearts for all time. He was our baby and we will miss him dearly.

Boss, 06/19/99

Boss was a BIG cute cat. he was my aunts cat but I was still close to him. When I was five I used to get up in the middle of the night and go in the freezer and give him steaks. He was always nice to me no matter how much I mulled him. My aunt loves, cats she loves them so much she saved a kitten who's mother died and it was close to dying it's self but she saved him. so without her I don't know if I would understand how much you could love a cat. Boss was the first cat I was close to and I miss him so much . there will always be a place in mine and my aunts heart for boss. we love you boss

love Danita & Lavrene Small


Boston, 01/01/00-10/17/01

Boston,

You were an Angel in my life. The moment I saw you I knew we would make the perfect pair. You and I did everything together and I miss you dearly. You will never be forgotten.

Moma loves you, baby!


Boston B. Fraser, 06/30/00-08/20/01

Boston, We will miss your enthusiastic greetings at the front door, your wagging tail, hanging tongue, wet paws in winter, kisses, licks behind the ears, chewed slippers, quiet cuddle times, your longggggggg stretches, hugs, bed time, fetch, eating ice cubes together, kissing your precious nose, rubbing your soft tummy, playing with your teeth, wrestling, long walks, playing ball, "gimme five--gimme ten," unconditional love, licking our tears away, meal time, positive energy, watching you smell flowers or chase squirrels, playing with pine cones, security, joy, happiness, your overall personality and spirit...

Jordan & Rose-Marie


BouBou, 04/04/01-10/10/01

Dear Bou, You are very dear to us now and forever. You made us laugh again after PC. We will miss you both forever. I can not believe we lost you so soon. We did not want to let you go, but we knew it was best for you. I love you Bou. Mom, Dad, Tela, and your sister Lela


Bouncer, 07/10/89-10/25/99

Bouncer was a special dog. He only wish in life was to please. He gave hugs and kisses all day long. He loved to take walks with is brother and best friend Buddy (beagle). Buddy and all of us miss him very, very much. He was named Bouncer because of how he loved to play. He bounced around. He lived a long happy life. Unfortunately it came to us making the decision for him to cross the Rainbow bridge. He was so sick and there was nothing the vet. or any of us could do. I wish he was here. We will one day get a puppy for Buddy, since Buddy is getting up in age now. But no dog in this world could compare to Bouncer.
Well we miss you Bouncer, We will see you at Rainbow Bridge. Love you so much, Lisa, Al and Buddy


Bounder, 1999-6/30/01

My Boundo,

You Boundo of the silky hair and bushy tail. Survivor of Hurricane Floyd. I'll miss your gentle and adventurous spirit. I know you loved Hector and me and I think you would like to have bonded with Katrina. Only two years old, you deserved to have many more days of bounding around in the back yard and being held by me and nuzzling Hector. I love you always.


Bowie, 11/15/01

Bowie--"-best dog in da world!!!"--Bowie, your dharma was sweetness---and I know I was truely loved---what a gift you gave--priceless--Love--Me and Greasy and Baba Ji


Bowie, 03/02/94-08/24/01

Bowie

It was time for you to leave us,
God was calling you home,
To a place with endless freedom,
Where tirelessly you'll roam.

Quietly you suffered,
Never letting us know,
All the pain you were feeling,
Until it was time for you to go.

With dignity and grace,
You fought until the end,
You placed your trust in us,
And we said "goodbye" to our friend.

Goodbye is not forever,
It's just a little time apart,
For if we ever need you,
We'll find you in our heart.

And so our darling Bowie,
We will see you once again,
For when our time has come,
You'll be waiting at the end.

Written with great love for our beloved Newf "Bowie".
by Anne Tunney


Bowie, 06/23/01

16th Jun 2001

Bowie is a very old Rotterweiler. She is Joel's sister's dog by default, having been palmed off onto Tasha by Tasha's father many years ago, although all of Joel's family (including me) love her lots.

She is the biggest dog I've ever met, and also one of the most gentle, providing she knows you of course. Although she has never knocked anyone else down with her 150kg frame, she likes bowling Joel over. Joel's pretty much the only one who can play with her like that, but she will accept whatever form of love and play that we are willing to give her, even from little kitties other dogs of her breed would consider snacks. She knew who was who and what was what, and exactly how far she can go with the smallest of kittens to the strongest of men without hurting any of them.

She is an old dog, very old in terms of Rottweilers, about 13 in human years. Her back hips wore out last year and you could tell that she was in a lot of pain even then. But now its winter here, and the arthritis has got into her front legs too. She has trouble getting up or sitting down, and she's long stopped squatting to relieve herself.

Despite her pain, though, you can still see the love an devotion she has to her family, and even though both Joel and his younger brother haven't shared a house with Bowie for several years, she still greets both of them with delight and energy that belies her stiff and painful joints. She still tries to barrel-roll Joel and will still try to chase the ball you throw for her, but its out of loyalty and love that she does this, because you can see that every step she takes hurts her. She suffers mostly in silence, still eager to please her beloved family, but in the dead of night, while she thinks no-one can hear, she makes the noises of an animal in pain.

Tasha has asked Joel & I to do what has to be done. This Saturday is the day when Bowie will be relieved of the pain that she has been bearing with dignity and loyalty for the last few years, when her spirit will go the Bridge where her once softest of soft coats will be restored to shiney cleanness, the perpetually fly-blown sores on her ears will be healed, and she will once again be able to frolick with the energy and strength she once had.

Dear God, I don't want to do this. For, although she is not my dog, I too have loved her, played with her, and been blessed with her silly doggy smile that stretched from ear to ear. But I know I must. I know I must be strong where others are weak, to put aside my own feelings of grief and despair so that a loved one can depart in love and peace. I think Saturday will be one of the hardest days I'll have to face, and won't be made any easier by the thought that I'll have to face similar days at least twice more with Shmogg & Fluff. But, for the sake of Bowie, my Noodle Nut, Joel and I will do what has to be done, and be there while she makes the Journey.

23rd Jun 2001

It was a bright, warm, winter day.

We played with Bowie for a bit, and then gave her a T-Bone, which she gobbled down. And then fed her as much dog food as she wanted (she's been on a strict diet for 6 months so that she has less weight to carry on her hurting hips). She tried to jump up in enthusiasm, but couldn't. To eat, she bent down much like a giraffe. It wasn't good to look at. While eating, I noticed that her left eye was completely white, they right eye was misty.

Then we took her down the beach, her favourite spot. Its only a two minute walk, but she got very tired. She made it to the sand, but couldn't get back up the slope. Joel carried her.

On the way back home, she tripped up a few times, and had to lie down a lot. It was heartbreaking to watch, but confirmed that what we were doing was right.

We drove her to the vets. She was good in the car, just sticking her face out the window and letting her tongue flap in the breeze. There's still her drool on the car window.

I was fine until I had to tell the receptionist what we wanted to do. I cracked up and the receptionist had to guess what I was trying to say. Bowie was being so good there. The receptionist was very understanding, very supportive.

The vet came out and escorted us to the room. He wanted Bowie up on the table, but she couldn't get up there. Again, Joel lifted her up, and again it reassured us that what we were doing was a mercy.

Joel pushed me out of the room, and told me to wait in the car. I kissed the top of her head, said goodbye and managed to get all the way to the car before I let it all out.

He came out less than 5 minutes later, with her collar and lead.

And we drove home in silence.

Bowie is now free from pain, frolicking merrily at Rainbow bridge, chasing seagulls and bicycles (her favourite hobby). She can jump up, run, squat, and sit down with ease. Her ears are no longer are a haven for flies, her eyes are clear, and her coat is once again full and soft. And she's protecting those that are already there.

Goodbye, Bo-Bo.

Tasha, Dan, Joel & Vicky


Bowie, 11/24/88-01/03/01

To my most beloved little lion, Bowie.

I am privileged that you graced my life , your sisters and everyone who shared our life over 12 years together.

We are totally connected and together now as we have been since we first met. You are in my heart and soul forever.

We all miss your presence in our lifes - your love, care and fun.

I thank you for your love and care and all you taught me about unconditional love in our time together. You enabled me to be totally at peace with me and to love in my way when I struggled through much in life. You were and will be always my support.

I wish I could have been with you at your final pain but know that you got the care and attention by your carers that you needed.

My love to you as always

Yours mummy and Holly and Keith


Bowser, 07/17/99

Bowser thank you for being such a wonderful friend. We miss you a lot. We know you have gone on to a better place. We look forward to seeing you again.
love,
Crystal, Mom, Dad, Billy, and Buttons


Bowser, 06/11/01

Bowser, My loyal, loving, protective man. You gave so much, asked for so little. I know you would have given your life for any of us if it had been needed. You touched a part of me that has never been touched. As your heart condition worsened, you never complained, you just wanted us near you. I know I did everything humanly and medically possible to keep you comfortable in your remaining days, but the time had come to let you go. I couldn't watch you suffer anymore. I know you are free from pain and can breath easily now, your arthritis won't keep you from running anymore and doing the things you love to do. This house is so quiet with out you Bowser, we miss you so much. Kota misses you also. So my buddy, till we meet at the Bridge, know how much we love you and how much you are missed. I never knew Keith to take a pet going so hard, or have him hold another pet like he did you as you peacefully went to sleep. You'll be with us always Bowser, rest in peace my friend. Love, Keith, Pam, & Kota


Boy, 01/09/01

Boy was my baby and I will always miss him there isn't a day I don't think of him I hope other people will understand that losing your pet is the same as losing a child or any loved one most people do not understand that a pet is equal to any human. I hope there are others that feel the same.

Julie Lower


Boz, 10/29/01

Knowing the joy of having these beloved pets, we must always be thankful for their loving ways and the time we have with them. This is their special gift and the joy that they have given us is to be remembered and cherished.

Boz, 06/09/88-03/10/00

Gentleman Dog Boz...do you remember winning Baby Puppy of Show at your first major outing in Sydney? I remember how proud you made your friend Bob, my husband, on that day.
You were such a jaunty showman with a 'look at me, I am special' air about you...and it worked! You and Bob became quite a team... your cheeky presence was such fun. Bob and I both loved you but you loved Bob more...choosing HIS foot to rest your head on while we watched TV. I remember your watching and waiting after Bob died...how I ached to be able to tell you what had happened.... I watched over you until you too left me..I pray that the two of you are together again now. Thank you for the happiness you gave us, our little Gentleman Dog. I miss you still.

Brams Boss Hoss, 09/28/97-12/12/00

This is a tribute to my darling Hossie. He went out one morning and never returned. We eventually found his body. He had been killed by coyotes. He was such a devoted baby and was always at our side. He always minded and was a terrific father to 7 babies over the three years of his life. We are hurting so much and our other yorkie, Miss Tee is having such a difficult time.

GOODBYE MY HOSSIE HIGH FIVE MY DARLING

Brandee Rose Puddles, 07/30/94-03/17/01

Brandee filled our lives with love and happiness. She lifted our spirits with her presence, and will live forever in our hearts and minds. Our memories of her playful antics, car rides, walks, and unique personality are cherished by us. The day will come when we too will cross the bridge as Brandee did, and we will all once again join in life.

Branden, 06/03/91-03/04/01

Branden was my best friend my companion and he was my first obedience dog. He was silly in his own way and I'll miss him very much. He touched everyone's heart and gave alot love in return. I will always love him and miss him very much.

Brandi, 8/22/86-12/25/01

I will always love you, Brandi. You are my heart and soul. God called you home on Christmas morning, and though I miss you more than words can say, I'm so happy that you are free of pain. Someday we will be together again. Love, Mommy


Brandi, 11/25/96-10/16/01

Brandi, how can we begin to describe what joy your brought to our lives. You were mommy's baby and daddy's girl. Mommy misses her baby so much...it hurts so bad. You brought us so much happiness. I can't help but be angry that we only had you for 4 short years but in those years you made us so happy and the love we have for you will never fade. You fought Cancer for 6 months and still showed your incredible strength the last day of your life by giving me kisses and wagging your tail as if to say it will be ok mommy. I love you my baby and miss you terribly. I will see you again.

The Millers


Brandi, 03/01/88-08/13/01

Through the years when much of my life around me was falling apart I could always count on Brandi the one constant in my life. Always there and loyal to me. I couldn't have asked for a better companion. I will miss her.

Joan Beadles


Brandi, 06/21/94

To my Bran, know that I love you still and miss you. Am looking forward to the Rainbow Bridge. Love, Mom

Wonderful friend who was with me through many changes in mine and her life. Brandi will be missed but never forgotten.

Brandi, 1984-1999

She was my best friend. She always was there for me no matter how bad she felt and always tried to please no matter what I asked.

Brandi was a very special friend. She would do anything she could to please and never ran off or did anything except wag her tail and want to be touched in a loving way. She loved to go with me to the beach and would chase Frisbees all day. When she got arthritis and it hurt her to get up, she would never whine or complain. It was the most difficult thing I had to do to wait for the Vet to come and give her an injection to allow her to go to the rainbow bridge. I did not know about this special place until the vet sent it to me and a card.
I still miss Brandi with all my heart and when I read some of the stories from others cannot help but get teary.


Brandi, 04/27/01

She was a WONDERFUL little girl. I loved her dearly. She left very DEEP paw prints on my heart. She has only been gone a few hours - and I miss her VERY MUCH.

Brandle, 10/14/90-06/21/01

The grunty hedgehogs wonder where their playmate has gone. He never hurt them, he just transported them from one place to another and made sure they were all hidden away from harm where sometimes only he could find them. The 'wally bear', playmate of a gentle black Lab years ago, but whom Brandle befriended back in February 1992, is also alone now.
On Thursday June 21st I lay beside my best friend, holding him and stroking his beautiful still young body, he took his final breath. Rest in peace my wonderful companion.

My Sweet Brandon!

To my loving little boy and best friend, who was so sweet and cuddly, you will always be in my heart, prayers and soul. I will always love you and cherish all the good times and memories you have given me. You brought such happiness to my life and you will forever be in my heart and will always be remembered. I still cry for you, you were so incredibly loved. The hardest decision of my life was to say its time, but in my soul it was the right thing to do. I must let the guilt go, but by heartaches for you. You will never be forgotten and someday, we will meet again as we walk the rainbow bridge.

Brandon was the sweetest dog I have ever known. But I now he is in a better place with his friend Sandy. He was 15 years old and beloved best friend.


Brandon Micheal, 06/24/01

For Brandon Micheal,
Mommy hopes that you and Maurice meet and become friends.
I'll love you always.


Brandy, 03/03/93-11/28/01

To my Beauty, Brandy : Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you terribly. Although I can not hold you anymore, I still feel you with me. You will live on in my heart and my memory for all time. Goodbye babygirl, until we meet again. Love you forever, your mommy Wendy.


Brandy, 08/96-12/01/01

Brandy was an epilepsy success story. Brandy went from having clusters every few days to 359 days seizure free. We conquered the epilepsy, it was lymphoma that took my 5 year old boy from me . But I do not want him remembered for his epilepsy, nor his lymphoma. We need to remember him for the things he loved... Jelly Sticks, sitting on Mom's lap, swimming, riding in a car, his big sister Sasha, playing with Jessica, ice cream, running in the water, boat rides, taking Dad's spot in bed, a good bone, walks in the woods, walks anywhere ! Brandy was good natured and loyal, sweet and loving. He was a spoiled little boy, who never let his problems interfere with his life. He took his medications willingly. He trusted me implicitly.

What then, can you do for one who loves and trusts so freely and willingly, but let them go when the time has come, no matter how much it hurts the human who is left behind ?.

Find Sasha & Pal and play until we meet again.

Love, Beth


Brandy, 12/06/01

With all my love - you will always be missed.

Brandy, 05/09/93-11/24/01

My dearest Brandy. It hasn't even been a full day since we lost you and I am going crazy. This house is toooooooooo quiet. Be good and I will see up there on that rainbow bridge and NEVER be apart again.

Brandy, 08/30/01

Brandy,
I pray that I made the last year of your life one of your best! Mommy loves you and always will. You were my joy and taught me so much about the love and beauty of nature. In my minds eye I see you running in beautiful green pastures as a young foal at your mamma's side and know that someday I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge. You will always live in my heart, and thank God for the short time I had with you. May you now have the peace and pain free life that you so deserved. You are loved!

Anne Denner


Brandy, 10/12/87-08/31/01

To our beloved dog, Brandy, we miss and loved you very much. Our lives are so lonely now and the home is so lonely now. We miss your presence so much, and I especially miss you when I cook, when I am using the computer and taking a bath. You were always with me and I am so lonely. We will always love and miss you. We hope you have found Schatzy and Rusty, that all three of you are romping and playing. You are our furry angels in heaven.

Brandy, 08/29/01

Brandy, 08/08/90-08/11/01

My dearest brandy, you gave us life and you gave us love. You where our friend. I know you are not suffering anymore. Good bye my baby. Love mommy


Brandy, 12/88

Brandy,

Even though you've been gone for a very long time, you are still in my heart. You saw me through the tough teenage years and into adulthood and motherhood. You were so tough, yet so lovable. You were absolutely fearless, yet so protective. I wish I could've been with you in your last moments. I will always love you, baby doll. Cathy


Brandy, 04/03/89-07/06/01

I miss you, my little girl, and know that you will be waiting for me. I know that you are with God and Dylan now and hope that you will all watch over us forever. You will never be forgotten. There will always be a special place in our hearts for our little "pooky". Remember how much we love you, forever.

Brandy, 04/01/85-06/28/01

Brandy, 02/03/89-01/01/01

I will never forget the way those little brown eyes looked up at me. I will never forget the way you would wake your Daddy up in the mornings because you were ready to eat. I will never forget the way you did a tail-dance every time you wanted to eat or go outside. Thank you for being my Princess for 11 wonderful years. You will always be my Princess in my heart.

Brave Gray Heart, 08/11/01

I trapped you last night. Don't know where you came from. I had high hopes of getting you neutered and released, but the deal I made with the Humane Society was to have all feline leukemia positive/aids cats put to sleep. This way my colony would be protected. You didn't look sick to me, but I could tell that you have had it pretty hard, your scars on your head told the tale. I just want you to know that even though you didn't know me I loved you nonetheless. I want you to know that I'm sorry, for you having it so rough. I'm really sorry for the last few hours that you spent on this earth, scared and alone in a trap, getting moved into a funny thing that shook you all around and then being in a place where there are loud noises and strange smells. You didn't know what was going on and what was going to happen to you. I wish I could have held you and told you that everything is going to be alright in your last final moments. I wish I would have made you feel my love for you. Even though there may have not been anyone else that cared, I want you to know that I cared my strange, gray Tom. I hope you forgive me for trapping you. I hope to see you again one day.

Breeze (Mandolin Wind), 12/18/01

Breeze (his real name was Mandolin Wind) would have been 13 years this January. He was a grey and white Siberian Husky who was very silly. When you'd come up to him, he'd lift up his front paws one after another like he was dancing. And he had this cute little noise he'd make when he knew you were going to play with him.


Breezy, 10/01/01

A wonderful baby who is "talking" all inhabitants of Rainbow Bridges ears off.

Brendy, 12/26/85-03/24/01

You won our hearts from the moment we saw you. Daddy said you would not be allowed on the beds but he had you sleeping with him on the second night (the first night his arm was in your box beside the bed all night). We were definitely blessed with an angel. You gave us 15 years of unconditional love. We will miss your constant wagging tail and your 9pm on the dot treats that you wouldn't let us miss. Thank you so much for all you have done for us. Even though you never expressed it, we knew you were in constant pain and we couldn't let you suffer any longer. Daddy needed you. He needed his little girl again. For all the wonderful years that you have given us the least we could do was make you young and pain free again at the rainbow bridge. We love you and we'll see you again.

Breton, 09/26/01

My darling nugget-man: I can't believe you are gone. Your Dad and I are devastated. You were taken so suddenly, no chance for a last goodbye scritch and kiss. Our hearts are broken. There were so many things about you that were special and memorable. We have been making lists, so that our memories will never become hazy over the years. We never want to forget all the silly things you did, sweet things, naughty things, too. They made you YOU - and we will continue to love you forever. You were our sweet, joyful, wiggly, bouncy, rooing boy. The house is too quiet without you. We loved you well, Dear Breton. Rest in peace my sweetheart. Love forever, Mom and Dad


Brewster, 05/13/89-12/17/01

Bridget, 03/22/01

Bridget, our 'Bridgie Baby', was the most special and wonderful dog either of us have ever known. She came into our lives through a rescue society; she came to them after a life where she had known only misery, abuse and suffering as a puppy mill mother - and then she was abandoned. We only knew her for about 5 years, but we will never forget her big brown eyes, her adorable face, and all the love she gave to us. We lost her almost a month ago, and the pain is still fresh...Bridgie, we love you.

Until we meet again across the bridge Jesus calls the Jordan River.

Rest in peace

Brindle, 10/16/86-10/20/00

My little girl, how the house seems so empty without you. I remember all the times we spent together and how much you loved to play ball. You gave such unconditional love for the 14 years we were together - now there is such a dark hole in my heart. The dancing on your hind legs, the begging to be held and being the "bad, mean" dog, when there wasn't a mean bone in your body. How well I remember these times - before things became hard for you. May God keep you safe until the day we meet


Brioche, 1984-10/26/01

I lost my sweet baby boy Brioche. He was an 18 year old Himalayan but he acted like a young cat with no age limitations. He was sweet and kind and gentle to all creatures, an old soul in a cat's body. Someone ran over him and left him to die. The emergency vet could not save him and we had to let him go so he would not suffer anymore here on earth. He is now at peace and in a better place but I miss him so. I am sure he has made lots of new friends on the other side and someday we will be together again. May God have mercy on his sweet soul. Bye bye BB. XOXOXO

Britta, 11/08/88-04/13/01

Britta was a very special "Special Needs" dog. She was born without the advantage of hearing but was so giving, loving and obedient in her years with us. In the end, she developed diabetes and had no choice but to endure two painful shots each day, which she took without hesitation and complaint. She lost her sight and was in much discomfort and pain when her very loving and devoted master, Tom, made the very unselfish but heart wrenching decision to end her misery. She left behind a very heart broken buddy, Polly, a 13-year old toy poodle. Polly was Britta's ears for years and now she is lost without her constant companion. But we know that someday we will all be reunited with Britta in a land where she hears the things she never got to hear during her silent years here on earth.

We love you, Britoski, and we miss you very much.

Tom, Debbie, Stu and Polly


Brittani, 03/01/90-01/02/01

Brittani gave us 11 years of unconditional love and steadfast loyalty. She lived through a lot during those years including her own health problems and the addition of two children to the family. In 1994, she had a cancerous growth removed and was only given 6 months to a year to live. But she gave us 6 more wonderful years. Each day was a blessing and for each day I was thankful. Her little body fought hard, which is one of the greatest gifts that she gave, that she wanted to stay with us as much as she did. In the end, kidney disease, diabetes, and blindness bested her. My final gift to her was her release of the suffering. I held her in my arms until the end and told her it was okay and that I loved her. In my mind, I can once again invision her fetching her frisbees and tennis balls, and my heart rejoices. At the same time, my heart is breaking. I try to be strong because I know that she would have been so sad to see me upset and thinking that she had done something wrong. My heart will mend in time, just as her footprints I still see in the snow will slowly melt away. I will never let Brittani be forgotten.

Heidi, Tim, Austin and Alyssa


Brittany, 05/09/86-03/22/99

It has been over two years since 'The Wonder Dog' left our home. Her adopted sister, Mindy, still misses her, as do we all. There are days when I don't think of her now, but they are still few and far between. She was the friend of all good people and animals who met her. She was also the best judge of character I've ever known. She protected us, loved us, comforted us, and honorably received all those things from us in return. She was sick for the last few months of her life, but tried so hard not to show it. There will never be another Brittany. Her soul was special and it lives on in all of us. In time, we will meet again, and it will be a joy to feel her warm breath and wet tongue on my face once again.

Gina and Denver Dixon


Brittany, 02/02/01

Brittany, If tears could build a staircase and memories a lane I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Brittany Bean, 10/01/91-10/19/01

We hoped to have our baby girl for at least a couple more years, but a miracle was not to happen for her. We had to end her pain for her sake, and bring pain to ourselves. Mommy vowed to be strong for her and lay with her while the vet gave her the needle. She even kissed a tear from my face just before it was time. Daddy was there, too. Mommy and Daddy miss her more than words could ever say.
In her younger days, she was a launcher (she would leap through the air into her favorite lake where we live). She loved to retrieve and lived for the fun times of swimming and retrieving. She was a champion. We have to believe that she is restored to her youthful days and is running and playing, leaping and swimming without pain, until we meet again. But life here will never be the same again. "We love you, Brittany Bean". "I wonder if you know how much we hurt."
Love, Mama & Daddy


Bro, 2/10/01

Memorial to Bro

I found you 20 years ago, a terrified, abused kitten at the animal shelter. You were not like the other kittens, who were scrambling at the bars of the cage begging to be adopted. You sat quietly huddled in the back corner of the cage thinking life was so bad that nothing, even a loving human, could make it better. But your inner beauty and tender heart spoke very clearly to me, and I took you into my home and heart. It took a couple of weeks, but you opened up and gave your gentle trust to me. And I in turn, gave my trust to you as my true, timeless companion.

You've seen me through times of despair over the years. Whenever I thought I couldn't go on, I would look into your wise, understanding eyes and with a touch of your paw, a rub of your head, or a quick purr I always knew I was loved and that I would survive. You were always good at making me smile with your quirky, affectionate ways. Like meowing outside the shower so I would open the door and let you lick the accumulated water off the inside of the door, or even climbing in with me and getting soaking wet just so you could lick the shower floor. Like jumping on the bed and laying across my head, tapping my head with your paw, claws withdrawn, to gently wake me up to give you affection or feed you. Like prancing up to me every time I came home and giving me a rousing meow and a rumbling purr, making me feel welcome every day in our home.

In the last few years, your age started catching up with you and you developed multiple ailments. It was now time for me to return to you all that you had given to me. You bravely and graciously put up with countless needles and pills and vet visits. Every time I thought I was losing you, you bounced back even better than before. I began to know what it was like to be a true caregiver. Seeing you respond to the care I gave you was worth every minute of the emotional roller coaster.

In the end, you were very weak and fragile. But the love in your eyes never dimmed and although your body was failing, you still mustered up a purr in response to my sorrow. On our last day together, you spooned with me and rubbed your head against my face with an almost renewed vigor. You even found energy from some otherworldly reserve to walk resolutely outside and take in your last breaths of fresh air and sunshine. Your fur has captured thousands of my tears over the years, yet you remained my support even at the end. You taught me the true meaning of unconditional love.

I know you are in a peaceful place now, dearest Bro. Your gentle spirit will be with me always and I know you will watch over me for the rest of my life.

Goodbye, my wonderful little boy. I look forward to the time when we can be reunited in spirit.
I love you, forever.

Meryl


Broccoli, 06/01/01 Camera Icon

My sweet little Broccoli kitty is in heaven now. I didn't even get to have her for a week. She was a sweet little sick orange kitty. At least when she gets to the Rainbow Bridge she will have a name that I gave her with all the love in my heart. I did everything I could, went to every specialist, but it wasn't enough.

When you get to the Rainbow Bridge my sweet little Broccoli Angel say 'hello' to Taliesin and Bunnicula for me. Tell them I love them and miss them.

Remembering Brownie November 1985 - April 19 2001

I know if you could speak to me you would say don’t cry. I’m know longer in pain. You have given us 16 wonderful years and so much joy. You took over our hearts and home. Your journey began in Florida when you were only 6 weeks old. You traveled many miles and even to Alaska! We miss you so much. The greeting at the door, chasing us around the house, going for long walks, Taking David Anthony’s dirty socks. You have given us so much love I had to let you go. I could see it in you eyes that you were not happy. Please never forget us and know that it was the hardest thing in my life to let you go. I prayed for you to show me a sign that it was ok. And you did. You left this earth with grace and dignity and are now flying high with the angels. I could see how peaceful you were lying in my arms. The house seems so empty and sad. How did the years go by so quickly. On Monday we picked up your ashes and urn. They are placed in the curio cabinet with your picture looking at us. We will always cherish the time we spent together. You are gone from this world but you will forever be in our hearts. We love and miss you so much. Love, Dad and mom and D. A.


Brownie, 9/25/89-4/10/01

I rescued Brownie in 1991. He had been abused and emotionally and medically neglected. I related to him, as I also felt the same way about myself. We bonded and despite his separation anxiety and health problems, he seemed to live a very happy content life. Brownie loved to camp with me and we went every weekend in the spring - fall for 5 years. He loved to cuddle and follow me everywhere I went. Brownie had been sick for the last 7 months. I miss my buddy so much. I hope he's in a better place now and not in pain anymore. I look over to his favorite spot on the couch and it's empty now, just like my heart.

Brown Sugar, 07/29/90-07/20/01

Brown Sugar came into my life right after my first poodle had died. The very same day Sugar had passed on, my dad and I were so heart broken, that we went to the pet store to see if they had any poodles for sale. They had one female, and she was a light brown. My dad and I fell in love with her right away and decided to buy her. On the way home just holding her in my arms, I knew she was going to be special. We named her Brown Sugar because we wanted to name her in memory of Sugar. Sugar was snow white and Brown Sugar, of course was brown.

Brown Sugar was my little girl before I had any children of my own. She went through two marriages and 3 children with me. I will always consider her my first baby. She was my best friend when I needed a shoulder to cry on. Of course she couldn't speak to me, but she always knew when I needed to be loved. She followed me everywhere I went. I couldn't even go to the bathroom without her going with me. She was my special little angel and she will always be in my heart and memories.

I love you Brown Sugar,

Your Mama Chris

Bruiser, 10/12/91-09/05/00 Camera Icon

Bruiser came to us in Oct. of 1992, as a stray cat. He was very beautiful, a large cat with a large personality. He soon took over the entire neighborhood, becoming "king cat" and was quite nasty to other cats, which became an embarrassment to us. Bruiser had the feline Aids virus, so was kept separated from my other cats. After we finally had him neutered because of his fighting, it still took a year for him to calm down and make some friends of the neighborhood cats, but when he did, he was a very beloved cat. We finally found a proper home for him with some neighbors who had recently lost their cat, so we allowed them to "adopt" Bru, although he only lived next door to us. But, within a couple of years, the neighbors moved 25 miles away, and so did Bru. I still saw him a couple of times after that, and was just very happy that he had a home where he was as loved as he had been in our home. In March of 2000, the family who had Bruiser decided to move to Florida, so I went to have one last visit with my beloved Bru, knowing I would probably never see him again. I have some pictures of our time together that day, that I will cherish forever. Bru adapted well to Florida and liked sitting by a favorite tree. Sadly, while by his tree one sunny day, a Pit Bull running loose came along and attacked and killed Bruiser on the spot. His new family and we, were all devastated by his loss, after finding such a good life. We will love and miss him forever, and he is still loved and remembered by many neighbors and cat friends. We will see you again someday, my beloved Bruiser.

Love, Tracy, Steve and your Two Families.

Brummer,

Meu príncipe negro!

Você precisou do veneno de uma serpente para voltar para nossa verdadeira casa - o paraiso.

Menino mimado, nasceu para ser campeão nas pistas de concursos.

Mas aprendeu a brilhar nas pistas da vaidade e também a ser um pastor no campo, oferecendo sua vida na defesa da sua matilha.

Orgulho-me de você pela beleza, pela adaptação à vida do campo, pela galhardia com que lutou pela vida e pela entrega que teve no momento de sua passagem na ponte do arco-iris.

Amo você, meu mestre em aprender a ver a morte sem chorar! Até breve, meu Brumão, o cão bobão que encantou meu coração!
Brincarei assim em memória de meu menino que se fêz Mestre.
Com amor e gratidão
Cida Ramos


Bruno, 02/14/79-08/30/99

Bruno was the coolest cat I have ever known. He was my best friend. I really feel we were connected. Bruno slept in my arms almost every night of his life. He would nibble my chin and my nose and he would take his paws and pull my hair through his hands (paws). He really loved me and I loved him too. I wish he was still here. He just got too old and his body wouldn't cooperate with him anymore. There are times when I think I see him out the corner of my eye walking through the room when he would at certain times of the day. Maybe it really is him!! Bruno is resting in my yard in a very beautiful part of our gardens. Near a waterfall with a bird feeder and trees and lots of beautiful flowers. I will never forget you Bruno, my best friend.

Bruno, 01/01/91-12/28/00

To my very special fur baby who had to be destroyed because he would bite. You never bit me Bru darling and never would have. I will love you Bruno Baggins, I remember your burnished brown coat and lovely face. You died yesterday Bruno and my heart died with you. I remember you every moment and miss you until we meet again.

Brutus, 11/27/01

We will miss you so much, Brutus. We love you so much. You were the sweetest cat I've ever known and I'm so sorry you died so tragically. I hope you didn't suffer. I hope that you are in heaven right now with the other animals and I hope to see you one day. Love, mommy and daddy.


Brutus, 1/18/01-10/8/01

Brutus,
You were my pride and joy. When everything was going wrong I could look at you and you knew just how to make me so happy. I loved taking you with me every where just as much as you loved to go. I can still see you running to the car every time I told you that it was time to go to Gramma's. And the times we would go to the store to get ice cream just for you, or when we would stop to get gas and I had to get you slim jims cause I knew you were waiting patiently in the car for them! I still have all your footballs and other toys. I will save them forever. Brutus, I love you so much. I hope you always knew that I loved you and would have done anything for you. I was so scared when you got hit by the car that day, I prayed so many times when Grampa was taking us to the vet. I don't understand why you had to go. You were so young and such a good boy. I hope so much that the vet was right and you didn't suffer. Please know that Mommy would have done anything to save you. Here are some hugs and kisses from Daddy, too.
Rest in Peace Always My Good Boy.
I love you Forever Brut-Brut.
Love Always,
Mommy
Theresa Smith


Brutus, 10/06/01

We love you little boy. This is only a temporary parting. You're with us everywhere we go and in everything we do. Wait for us.

If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane,
We'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.

Warm hugs and kisses. XXXX

We're living for you. Mom and Dad, Sara and Howard


Brutus, 03/04/01

Brutus,
You were always our gentle, precious gift. You had a way of speaking to us with those big brown eyes. Mostly what you said is that you loved us unconditionally. We miss you and you will forever live in our hearts as our precious Brutie.

Sadly missed by
Dad and the cook


Brutus, 03/03/92-07/02/99

Brutus Kingsbury - Our beloved dog of 11 years was killed by a car on February 3, 2001 when he slipped his collar and ran across a busy road. Brutus was 120 pounds of pure love - shepard, hound, great dane and some retriever mix. Our hearts ache and we miss him soooooo much - Thank you all for remembering him with us -

Brutus, 10/89-12/19/00

Bubba, my special little friend. I miss you so much. Thank you for all of the love and smiles you gave to me. Thank you for choosing me as your friend. I feel blessed to have known you. I love you and will never forget you...God bless you sweetie...til we meet again...


Bubba, 08/08/00-09/09/01

Bubba-dog, we miss you, baby! You just wanted to run, & you did. Now you can run all day, with no leash, & chase squirrels to your delight. You know you brought us so much love, with your goofy little ears, & your pointy tail. I hope you can forgive me for not having you on a leash. Thank you for coming into our lives for the short time you were here. Wait for me, baby.

Bubba (My Sweeter Pea), 08/22/88-08/31/01

I'm in deep sorrow over the loss of the sweetest love o f my life. He was the kindest and the most gentle kitty I'll ever know. We loved each other more then words can say. He was always there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on and never did he let me down. My life was centered around him and everything I did involved him. This sweet boy was my only child and I will miss him endlessly. Bubba....I want you to know that I love you and did everything I could to keep you on this earth for as long as I could, but I understand why you had to go....I will love and cherish our memories together always. Goodbye my sweet sweet boy.

Anne Burnaroos


Bubba, 10/23/89-06/06/01

The love we had for our beloved "Bubba" is as great and goes as deep as the grief and pain we suffer due to his passing. We did all we could do and do hope and pray to see him again.

Clifton & Robin Tomes


Bubba, 06/03/01

Bubba was a special guy. He kept my invalid brother company until my brother passed away. He kept my grieving mother company until today.

Warmest, sweetest, most loving cat you'll ever want to know. I'll miss him terribly.

Donna


Bubba, 02/14/93-04/04/01

This tribute is for Brother Charles Dickens whom his friends called Bubba. We will miss you big boy, but never stop loving you. You have truly doubled the size of our hearts and mommy and daddy are grateful to you. Your name should have been Denali because you truly were the great one. We hope you are waiting for us at that bridge because we will sure be looking for you to go on a very special walk. We love you Bubba and you will be in our hearts forever.

Sherwood and Mary Orvik


Bubba, 03/01/99-08/20/00

Goodbye my friend.

Marcus Toups


Bubba, 03/09/01

Bubba was a gentle prince, giving love and affection as freely as his kisses. He was noble even in sickness and death, his spirit keeping him alive and hiding his illness until it overwhelmed his body. His courage and dignity is inspiration to all who knew him, and all who knew him could not help but love him. Bubba shall be greatly missed, just as he was greatly loved.

Maureen, Del and Dave


Bubba Taylor, 11/24/88-04/18/01

To our Precious Bubba Taylor....
Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.... You are forever in our hearts and we miss you so much! Thank you for your unconditional love and special understanding those of us in the human world find hard to comprehend. We were not ready to let you go although you knew it was time. Thank you for giving us the courage to do so. We know you are no longer suffering. We think of you freely roaming the outdoors (unsupervised by your "Mom and Dad") and what a joy this must be! You will always be our "Bubby Boo Bear".

With Love and Appreciation, Your Earthly Parents,
Sharon and Dale Taylor

Buck, 08/31/01

A wonderful friend & companion who enriched our lives for his past 5 years with us. Has gone to the bridge to be with all his ancestors, free from the pain and suffering he endured during his battle with lymphoma. I wish our last last few months could have been under better circumstances, for your Mom and I. You'll be in our hearts forever. Your brother Newport (also a golden) and I miss you dearly. Please look down on us as we continue our life, looking forward to meeting you at the bridge. I only wish I could have another golden as special as you. We love you !
Gone but not forgotten
Love Pam, Paul & Newport


Buck, 01/88-08/24/01

My dog Buck was a wonderful companion. I adopted him on August 13, 1995 and loved him everyday until he was suffering too much to stay on this earth. He was a seizure dog and recovered numerous times but just couldn't hang in any longer. He was 13 1/2 years old in people years. I guess he's up in doggie heaven howling with his nightmares to the other dogs. And maybe he's even playing follow the flashlight beam, too. No one could have asked for a better friend. I will miss him terribly.

Barbara Voyce Zimberg


Buck, 07/13/88-03/14/01

Buck, I love you more than words can say. I miss you everyday and I know one day when it's my time to leave this earth, that my last thought will be of you and I will picture you running toward me from Rainbow Bridge. Then we will be together forever -as if we never parted.

I will always love you.

Joyce Sobey


Buck, 04/21/86-05/18/01

My Beloved Buck, (written on 5/22)

The house seems so empty now. We are all lost without you. I keep running upstairs and hoping to see you lying on your bed and raising your head to see if I am ok. Please tell Mom hello for me and let her know I am doing ok. Please also look after mom as you have looked after me for so many years. You are, were, and always will be my best friend. I will really miss you.

I truly believe that the most perfect creatures on this earth are dogs and that while humans may consider themselves to be the supreme beings on the earth, God created the perfect being when he created the canine. You were and are the most loyal being I have ever known besides our loving mother. You shared everything with me through the good times and the bad times. I will never forget your calming influence when I found out that Scott has cancer and might die. You went with me to the park and let me know that everything would be ok. I could not have gotten though that day or the passing away of our mother without your help.

When mother was dying you would not leave her bedside. I had to practically carry you out of the room because you would not leave her side in her greatest time of need. You would have given your life for either of us without ever thinking of it.

You also looked after “little” Bob like he was your brother and acted as his protector. He is really going to miss you and looks lost the past few days. I will really try to help him through this as best I can but he will always miss you and will never forget his big brother. Mooch, Brandy, and Bentley will also miss you.

I have tried to remember all the great times we had together playing soccer and basketball in the back yard. I remember you getting up at 5:00 am in the morning and going jogging with me down main street when the only living soul out that early was the milk man. I remember all the days you slept on the bed with Ripken and me. I remember how you loved to chase after balls and how you would sprint with your ears down and your incredible energy level. I remember how you used to scoot Ripken around on the floor when you were a puppy and how he would chase you away from his supper bowl.

I remember the first day we brought you home you were so shy and timid and when we got home you sat on Perry’s lap and fell asleep. You formed a special bond with Perry because of that night and you also became good friends with Sam and Scott.

I remember the day we brought the twins home from the hospital and you were at the door to greet us. You did not know what or who the twins were, but your tail was wagging uncontrollably because you knew I was happy.

What I will remember most about you is your fighting spirit. You never gave up when faced with incredible odds and your courage and determination is an inspiration to me everyday. Even in your final days you kept on fighting for me when you could have easily given up.

I am sure that you will see Sam, Ripken, Mother, and all your other friends in heaven and will be content there. I will try to go on in life without your body being here, but I know your spirit will be watching over me wherever I go and that you and mother will always be with me in spirit.

I will never forget you and I hope you will never forget me as well. You were my child, my brother, and my best friend and I hope you will always watch over me from heaven.

Good Bye my beloved Buck, until we meet again in another life or in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jon and Suzette Kofod


Buck, 05/20/01

Buck was the very best friend anyone could ask for. We adopted him from the B.C. S.P.C.A. in 1989, and it was love at first sight. He was so very gentle and intelligent, just wanted to be around us as much as he could. He even did volunteer work with me at nursing homes and palliative care hospitals, and all the residents there loved him too. Sadly, Buck passed away just a few weeks ago on May 20th, from a sudden gastric torsion. We rushed him in for surgery, but it was too late. I miss him terribly! I've set his ashes in our bedroom where he liked to curl up and sleep beside his loving humans, just to keep watch over them. We love you, Buck! Maybe we'll get to see you again some day. Love, Kari & Todd


Buckwheat, 02/14/91-07/24/01

Buckwheat, I thought I would be prepared for your death after 10 1/2 years together, but nothing prepared me for the pain. We trusted and loved each other, and depended on each other to the end, when you died peacefully in my arms.
You were my best friend, and you listened and loved me unconditionally...always ready to give a kiss, a nudge, or to cuddle. Have lots of fun jumping and running again!
You are my lovey!
My only joy is that I will meet you again someday in Heaven.

Martha Kooiman


Buckwheat, 04/01/87-03/05/01

Buckwheat (Bucky), 07/07/85-12/21/00

Buckwheat you gave us l6 years of your life giving us love and devotion unconditionally. You never met a stranger and loved everyone you saw. If they didn't pet you, you would pet them....You loved people!! So sorry you had to go the way you went. Mommy is so sorry!! The dog attack was horrible darling, and will forever be a dark place to remember. I will try to remember the good things about your life and hope you forgive me they way you died. I hope to see you again Bucky, my little man...I pray to God He will allow that! Loving you always, Mommy, Daddy, and Shelly your little friend...(she misses you too)!

Buckwheat Tumlin, 02/83-07/19/01

Buckwheat was 18 years & 5 months old. She was diagnosed with a heart murmur several years ago, She was given medication for her condition to make her remaining years more comfortable, she was a strong little girl and fought a hard battle but in the end, she lost the war on July 19th, 2001, 9:48 a.m
She was my friend, my loyal companion, a huge part of my life, I am missing her terribly and it hurts to no longer have her presence in my life, but she will remain in my heart forever. The Rainbow Bridge has helped me to deal with my grief today, and I will surly light my candle for my little girl Buckwheat, and for all the pets in our world on each Monday Evening.
Thank you so much for this wonderful site. God Bless You and all our Beloved Pets.

Bucky, 01/15/88-08/24/01

I got Bucky when he was six weeks old.
He lived to be 13 years and 7 months.
We were soul mates.
I loved him dearly.
Some people don't understand why I grieve so for a dog.
That makes it hard.
I know his spirit is not far away.
I see him sometimes.
I know we will be together again.
It won't be heaven if my Bucky's not there.

Roberta


Bucky, 09/30/85-08/27/01

Your career spanned twelve years, and in that time you touched the lives of hundreds of people, children and adults alike. You were one of the first...you will always be the best. We love you and will miss you, Bucky, now and forever.

To Mr. Bud Waggler: His Majesty - Lord Protector of the Realm, and Jedi Knight. Bud was a Dreampower rescued dog. He was abused as a pup, we got him at about 3-4 months old. He took to our other dog Bear right away, but it took about a year for Bud to accept humans as friends. Since then, and for the past seven years, he has been our loyal and constant friend, and protector, and lover. Bud returned our love and affection with equal measure and more. Bud died 2 days after contracting AIHA despite all efforts to save him. He will be sorely missed and loved forever.

Bud, 05/31/01

Well old friend you have been gone for less than a week and I miss you more than I could ever say in mere words. Sweetie and Blue J are missing you as well. I know I did the right thing in letting you got to the bridge but, it just makes me want to cry. I realize that you had a good long life. Almost ten years. That’s not bad for a parakeet. In fact you out lived quite a number of your “buddies”. I hope that all of the old gang (Twitty, Ginger, Clover, Nikki, Dee-dee, and Smokey) were there to greet you. In my minds eye I can almost see you...flying free and restored to total health. You had such a wonderful and friendly personality. I can’t think of one bird that you didn’t manage to make friends with. You certainly were “special”. How many parakeets are willing to mate with a piece of spinach? Or better yet...another male parakeet! =) You are a unique individual and your presence is greatly missed in our flock. I can only hope that you realized that I loved you too much to make you stay here on earth with us. Please meet me when my time to cross the bridge comes. I love you Bud. Always have and always will. Love Always, JENN & Don and the rest of the flock (Jamaica, Fred, Dusty, Squeeker, Bandit, Blue J, & Sweetie)

Bud, 03/14/01

Our sweet Bud went to the bridge today. Bud came to us from the animal shelter after his first family decided that they could no longer care for him.

Everyone loved our Bud. He had a way of going completely limp whenever anybody went to pick him up. He was the most completely trusting dog that I have ever known. Bud was our "rag dog".

We loved him so much and are so sad today. He was only four years old, but he gave and received a full lifetime of love.

Goodbye, our precious one.

Buddha, 05/15/86-07/16/01

We returned from vacation to find you so ill, but unselfishly, you had waited to say, "Good-bye." Our hearts are broken in two and our spirits are deeply saddened, but deep down inside, we know you are young again, happy and free. We love and miss you, precious Buddha. Thank You for all the lessons you taught us, the tears and joys you brought to our hearts, and for the unconditional love you gave us in your own special way. Enjoy your next journey.

To my pretty kitty,

I will always love you for you were my first kitty. I remember the first day I brought you home and the sound of your loud purr. You were with me through school and you would wait to greet me when I came home. I got you when I was 11 years old, and now I'm 25 years old. I'll never forget the way you looked up to me. You were my companion. and we've been through a lot together. For all the seasons and all the years we've been together, I will never forget my pretty kitty. My heart is always with you and you are in my heart always and forever. I love my pretty kitty Buddie.

Buddy, I miss you my dear and true friend. You were the best companion a person could have without a doubt. I will never forget the days that we went to work together, and the times that we spent just playing together. I will always miss the gentle hugs that you were so eager to give me. I wake up expecting to see your gentle face and warm eyes saying good morning to me. I can only hope that my life is worthy enough to meet you on the Rainbow Bridge. Until that time, I will always love you.

Buddy, 08/18/01

I found my "Buddy" in pretty rough shape, almost frozen, malnourished, lame and lips curled on a frosty November evening while on patrol on a native reserve just outside of Edmonton. He was a beautiful blue merle shetland sheepdog cross with matted fur, tri-colored eyes and a long nose. I gathered him up and took him home with the idea that I would nurse him back to health and adopt him out as I had the awful experience of having another beautiful dog put to sleep just 2 years prior and did not want to go through that heartache again. "Bud" turned out beautifully after a few good meals, a good bath and grooming. It seems though that he didn't know what a ball, frisbee or any other dog toys were used for. I used to toss the ball....he'd watch and bark like mad until I threw it again, while he would sit there motionless! When excited he'd clack his teeth together loudly...and indeed he soon learned the word walk, walkies, walk the doggy and other derivatives. Everyone who met him as potential adoptive "parents" loved his personality (mellow), but were concerned about his lame rear leg. So, after having him for 2 months without successfully adopting him out, he grew in my soul and we were one. He would fly like the wind even with his lame leg on the trails and would look back at me and bark to tell me to hurry up! He got very ill and with all the best treatment, it was decided that I'd have to let him go. I cried so hard and still have trouble getting sleep...I see him looking at me at that last moment, wagging his tail.. I miss him greeting me when I get home...miss his "clackerering" teeth, his soft fur and sad eyes.

Buddy, 06/10/01

Faithful friend, sent from above. Always there. Responsible for miracles of love. Loved more than words can say. Never forgotten, never replaced. I can still feel your hugs, see your soulful eyes, see your goofy grin. If there is a merciful God, we will be together again someday.

Buddy, when you were adopted from the pound by my uncle you brought him great happiness. I am grateful for the 7 years you were my dog after he passed on. You brought joy to all who met you with your enthusiasm and antics. The best dog, a wonderful companion who loved everyone and enjoyed everything about life. You adapted to many changes and trials in your life with grace . He is greatly missed by myself, his cats, and everyone who knew him. He is now with my uncle, their spirits together again.

Buddy was the best friend we could ever ask for. I will miss his golden face and soft ears forever but know that respect for his dignity was of the utmost importance. The only thing that will make this bearable is knowing that I will see him again at Rainbow Bridge and that he will be the spry, healthy and happy dog from his youth. We love you Buddy and will never forget the love and loyalty you gave us for all the years we had you.

Buddy
There isn't a day goes by that we don't think of you. Your funny little habits, the way you turned your head when we spoke to you.
I miss your snuggles, and your warm greetings when I came home. The way you knew just what I was thinking, and understood my feelings.
I reach for you at night laying beside my bed, and I awake, because I realize you are not there. Remember how I would pet you in your sleep?
You are gone from us for awhile, but never forgotten. One day we will meet you at the bridge, I can't wait to feel your velvety kisses on my face one more time.
You gave us 7 wonderful years, taught us how to really love unconditionally, how to enjoy life, and take each day as it comes.
I am forever grateful to you for that, and I am so thankful I was allowed to share your life.
Run with the other boxers up there Buddy, have fun, and show them your free spirit, you sure showed it to me.
But could you just look down on us once in awhile. Every night I look at your star that I picked out as yours and I say a prayer.
I miss you Babe! Love Mom

Alan and Jean Smart

Buddy, I just want you to know that there will not be a day that passes where I wont think of you. I know that you'll be watching over me... I miss you sweetie :-)


Buddy, 04/15/88-04/14/88

Buddy was truly a hand-picked gift from God. He was our child since we couldn't have any human children. Buddy, what a blessing you were and are! I love you so very much and look forward to the day we will be together again. I will think of you always and thank the Lord for giving you to us. I love you and miss you so very much, MOM.

Buddy Collins was a very special baby dog to us.....He would have only been 7 yrs. old next month......He was a beautiful buff cocker spaniel.......He loved to please...and please he did.......We gave him hugs at least 2 times a day......He loved a little red ball and a hard rubber ring that we called his passy......He would lay on his footstool and toss the ball to my husband and lay there looking at the ball or my husband just waiting for it to be picked up and thrown so he could run and get it....He would only play this game on his terms.....He didn't want anyone to get his ball first.....We would tease him all of the time trying to get it and he would tuck it in under his paws....Sometimes we'd find him laying there sleeping with that red ball right next to his face.....Buddy would sometimes even put the ball up on the couch next to my husband or my leg, so we would throw it and he would run and get it then, too......Bud and I would have a ritual of our own in the morning.....He slept on the floor next to the bed.....We'd get up, he would scarf the living room for left overs of the night before, and then wait for me to get dressed to take him outside......Then at my breakfast, I always added a few extra grapes because he would always sit there waiting for them......Or pieces of apple.......Right now, getting up in the mornings is a real tough thing for me ........At night, when it was bedtime, he would run to the bedroom, jump up on the bed, roll around real happy, and then when I said, "Goodnight, Bud," he would get down and get in his little place on the floor....If I happened to move his sweatshirt and rag rug that he'd slept on, he would look at me as if to say, "What do you think you are doing? Moving my bed" He had the most wonderful personality....My husband and I miss him so much, his little tail wagging so hard that it moved his whole body......everything about him was cute and lovable and happy.....I only wish that he hadn't gotten sick and left us so soon......He got sick on last Friday and on Wed. (March 21, 2001)the vet called and said that he stopped breathing.......He did everything that he could to help him.....Too short a life for such a wonderful beautiful baby dog that gave so much to more than the 2 people that truly loved him..............We love you, Buddy Collins and will never forget you..............

Buddy, 3/13/01

A very special spirit passed into a better world today around 10 am CST in Austin Texas. If there is a St. Christopher equivalent for cats, this now, is Buddy. Buddy was an outside cat. He loved to roam and loved freedom. He was kind of like a protector of other cats. Once when my inside cat Dumplin' got outside and I was panicking to find him, I saw him being taken care of by Buddy and without Buddy, Dumplin' might have wandered off and got lost. Buddy would lead other cats to the food

Buddy was black and white (white on the belly and feet), and had developed a few silver hairs among the black, no doubt from worrying about the welfare of other cats. He reminded me of a wise old owl, with an insight and patience which transcended his years and species.

Buddy was not "just a cat", he was a member of the family. There were many times I was so tempted to grab him and take him in the house, because I was afraid of him getting hit by a car (and this is what happened to end him life in this realm today), but I respected Buddy too much to take his freedom. It may sound odd to some folks to say I respected a cat, but he EARNED that respect by his character, his good deeds, and the way he lived his life every day. I never saw him being mean, stingy.

Ironically, we were on our way to the Vet to get some medicine for one of our inside cats when we saw Buddy on the side of the road. He had obviously tried to cross the busy highway, (183 in Austin) and was struck by a car.

This day has been a horrible nightmare since we saw our beloved friend in such a state, but I know that Buddy is now in a wonderful place, full of light and happiness.

I was thinking about Buddy's passing from this life to the next, and through my tears and through the knot in my throat from the sadness of losing such a wonderful friend, I came to a realization. Buddy was not his fur, not his body, Buddy was in the most real and most permanent of senses, Buddy was a personality and a spirit, and there has not been a car made that can destroy these things, so Buddy is still alive and still watching over all stray and lost little cats.

We love you always Buddy. Thank you for making our lives brighter and full of joy for the time we were lucky to share this world with you.

I know you are joyously running and playing with other cats and that you have finally reached your eternal reward for all the good things you did while down here. I am going to try harder to be even half as good a person, as you were a cat.

Thank you for being our friend and family member.
Love,
Tammy, John, Chocolate, and Dumplin'

Buddy, we miss you so very much. Every time I lie down I remember how you would climb on my shoulder and dig in my hair. I always believed you thought I was your mama. When we got you at PAWS, I knew you were special. We will miss you forever, 'till we meet again...

Buddy, 01/87-02/20/01

Buddy was with us for 14 wonderful years. The day that I went to buy a new little apricot poodle was the day that I ended up with 2 wonderful little poodles. Buddy and his sister Puffy were the only 2 left in the litter. I had every intention of only coming home with the female. Well, after seeing that they were the only 2 left there was no way that I could take one without the other. So, away we went!! The next 14 years were filled with alot of good times. One week ago today I had to make the agonizing decision to have Buddy put to sleep, to end that chapter of my life. My heart aches for him everyday. We still have his wonderful sister Puffy who continues to bring joy into our lives. We all miss you buddy and momma will always love you and I will see your cold nose at the pearly gates. Run and have fun and we'll see you again. Love , momma, daddy, Dalton and Elle


Buddy, 09/97-02/22/01

Buddy,

I loved you so much. I can't stand the thought of not seeing you, as you used to watch for me as I walked into the room. Your little face always aglow to see your momma. I don't even have a picture of you, so you will have to stay in my memories forever. I can remember the day I got you at the pet store, just three short years ago. You were the cutest little brown and white guinea pig I had ever layed eyes on, so loving and good natured. You will be so very missed... I hope you know and understand that the surgery you had to endure was the last hope I had to make you all better. I am so sorry that I waited to long...

I will always love you and miss you with all my heart.

With Love to my sweet little piggie, Buddy
From your momma, Janet


Buddy, 04/01/90-02/05/01

My 'Boy . . . . My Heart'. You have given so much more than you will ever know. The tears and the hurt, so many and so deep. We return you to God's loving care with the knowledge that only Heaven is where you belong. I wish you cool water to drink, fields in which to play, no pain and endless 'tennis balls'.
Wait for 'us' on the Bridge. I love you Boy.
Your earthly "Mama and Papa"


Buddy

Buddy, I've been so lost without you this week. I helped bring you into the world and from the moment you opened your sweet little eyes there was a bond between you and I. You've been such a sweet, loving friend, and I'll miss you as long as I live. I've had to take some pictures of you down from the office for the time being because every time I look at your sweet face my eyes fill with tears. In time I'll be able to put them back when it doesn't hurt so badly and I can remember the quiet times we had. I loved to just sit with you and feel you nudge me when I stopped petting you .. I loved the way you did that.. like saying .. "please pet me some more.. I love it so much" .. I'm so sorry I wasn't with you when you left ..
I would have given anything to have just been able to hold you in my arms and say goodbye.. It's hard not to call your name when I call Sam, and Lacy, and Pruitt .. and even with them there the yard seems so empty without you. I want you to know that you're missed.. and thought about every day .. Currie took it hard too.. he and I held each other and cried like babies over you ... I hope you and Victor are becoming good friends and when It's my time to leave I'll look for you both. I just want you to know you had such an impact on my life and I'll never really get over this completely.. the thought of your sweet face will always make me smile and cry at the same time. Two years wasn't enough time for us. I'll never forget you.

Love forever
Terry, Currie, Chance, and Johnette


Buddy, 01/28/85-01/23/01

My Buddy..Where do I begin. My heart is so empty since you left us. You were an extraordinary cat. There will never be another like you. You were always the Boss of the house. I loved the way you would only drink water from the faucet, chase the horses out back, sit on the side of the tub whenever anyone took a shower. I know your last days were terrible for you. I am so thankful that you struggled to lift your little head to give me one last kiss. I haven't stopped crying since you left us last night. But I am relieved that you are no longer suffering. we will all miss you very very much. Your daddy and I were so blessed to have you for 16yrs and I am so glad that you were still with us to spend the last 3 yrs with Kelsey. She will miss you terribly. Until we meet again at the bridge......I love you so very much.
Marianne, Dan and Kelsey


Buddy and Inky, 01/28/88-05/21/01

This is a tribute to Buddy, our beloved beagle that we picked up on our Wedding day, March 26 1988, he had a heart of gold, and was a loyal companion dog...To Inky, his pal, whom came to us as a rescue beagle, whom had a hard life at first, but gave to us more than we ever gave to him...
We love you both, but know that both of you had to leave us today ....You both always trusted us to do the right thing, and when cancer took away your health, we had to make that final decision...This is not goodbye ...

Buddy Beau Blue, 07/99-12/25/00

Buddy was an angel in a little dog's body . . . sent by God to bring me happiness. He was the best friend I've ever had and my heart aches for him constantly. I can't imagine ever smiling again. I'll miss him until I join him in death.

Buddy Boy

Dear Buddy boy,
We will miss you so much. You were so loyal, and stuck with us through the good times and the bad. We will never forget your wonderful brown eyes, your unconditional love, your beautiful white curls, and your wonderful spirit. We only regret not spending more time with you once Michael was born. We never realized what a huge hole you would leave in this family when you left. We can't wait to see you again, we hope you're hanging out with John, having a good time and getting lots of chicken! We love you forever. James, Elisabet, Michael, and Julie


Buddy Dog

Buddy Dog came into my life in February, 2000 at the age of 4 years old. He was a retired racing Greyhound from the Mobile, Alabama track. He had been a donor dog for about a year when I adopted him. He did not like being a donor dog at the vet which was evidenced by gastrointestinal problems and he cried every time they would put him in his pen at night. When I brought him home he loved living with me and my 11 year old Basset, Maggie. Buddy had a dog door, two soft fluffy beds, took long walks, went to the pet store once a week, had numerous squeaky toys, and had a big back yard where he liked to chase squirrels, stray cats, and an occasional opossum. He loved children, other dogs, adults, and me. He visited a group home for people with disabilities and was so loving with them. He would have been an excellent therapy dog. Unfortunately, Buddy came down with bone cancer and did not survive the surgery. I miss him so much! Buddy was a very beautiful Greyhound, black with white markings, obedient, graceful, and loving and will be missed by me, Maggie and other friends who knew him. I hated to lose him but I am so glad I rescued him for a year so that he could have the best life possible.


Buddy Lucky, 06/20/92-11/29/01

Buddy,
We will love you and Rocky forever. Mum will never forgive herself for leaving the back gate open. You gave us love and joy in the nine short years you were with us. You will be in our hearts forever. We all will be looking for you and Rocky at the bridge. Love and never forgotten. xxxxxxxx

Buddy Pudge, 07/05/89-02/16/01

Well my boy the day I dreaded most has come to pass. Our Bud Man, a Springer Spaniel was born on July5, 1989 and had to be put to rest on Feb 16, 2001. Bud you were the best! You really did feel you were a human and the way mom, the kids and I feel you were better than most humans. You gave your love to us daily and asked only for a pat or scratch on the neck in return. I feel you knew how much you were loved by all of us--even Gram misses you and her morning routine with you. She looks for you on the steps everyday. I imagine at some time we may have another but there will never be anything to replace you. The rides, fishing trips, hunting, the cabin will never be the same without you. I just needed to say my boy we loved you so much and still miss you very much after your passing almost two months ago. Some day my friend we will hunt again together! Love you my boy! Mom Dad, Angie and David


Budge E Byrd, 6/06/01

Budgie surprised us with love. What an unusual little person he was. How much he taught us about loving birds and other animals. What fun he added to our lives! Unique and special beyond belief, he gave us and any house guests we had the gift of laughter and plenty to talk about. So pretty and white, my little Holy Spirit bird even brought me closer to God. How we miss him.


Budkus, 1992-12/95

Dearest Buddy, It was hard to accept a new dog in the family so soon after we had lost Cotton, but then we adopted you into our lives. You gave us strength, warmth, comfort, and protection again that we all thought we had lost. You were the sweetest and I looked so forward to those abrupt wakeups in the morning when you plopped your big butt on my bed to wake me up. Mommy, Daddy, Kelli, and I all miss you very much. We think of you all of the time and you hold a very special place in our hearts. I think there is a little spirit of you inside of Trooper. And that makes it a little easier. We will meet you again at the Rainbow Bridge. Love you Buddy, RE RE


Buff, 04/01/86-11/09/01

I want everybody to know how much I miss my "Buff".
I have not stopped crying since he passed away from heart failure last Friday morning. I just want to see his little face again light up when I came home from work. Words cannot describe how I feel and I do hope in time that I will feel better and remember all the good times that we had together. I miss you so much !!!!
Love and Kisses

Buffy, 05/08/85-11/15/00

Buffy, You may be gone but, you will live forever in my heart, Not a day goes by that I don't think of the love we shared for so little time. I know that you are in a place where you can now see and hear but I will forever miss the patter of your beautiful little feet.

My Buffy was the joy of my life, and I loved her with all of my heart. She was a very special little dog and I hope she is finally at peace.

Buffy, 1982-08/02/01

Buffy was a beautiful black cat with such a strong will and loving heart. She lived a wonderful and eventful life.
My mom wrote a poem...
Buffy's gone to meet her Maker
She is finally at peace
No more pain and suffering
this earthly life has ceased
She's found a golden ray of sun
Across the rainbow bridge
with lush green flowered meadows
They reach toward the ridge
I sent her on her way with tears
and words of hope and love
thankful for the many years
to her Maker up above.

Melanie and Maryann, Ronald, Mike


Buffy, 04/01

'BUFFY' was my mom's and sister's little bundle of joy, and they are really hurting over his passing. I hope this will make them feel a little bit better, I love them both. DEBI


Buffy, 07/23/92-04/12/96

Buffy, you were my first Corgi and gave me the true love of the breed. You were such a sweet and gentle soul and the way you died was such a tragedy. Please forgive me for not being there with you. Dad didn't mean to let you out without a leash. We both loved you very much and I think of you every day. Both mom and dad are there now so take care of them for me until I get there. I hope you're waiting for me at the Bridge with Gabby one day.

BUFFY
You were a member of our family for thirteen years and now you are gone from us. Our Mary bought you from a pet store when she was in the second grade with the gifts she received for her Communion and now she is finishing up junior year in college. For all of those years, you shared our lives, went everywhere with us (even to the Jersey shore each summer on vacation) and captured a place in our hearts that no one can ever fill. We miss you so very much our dear Buff. Everywhere we turn, we see you and our minds go back to the wonderful thirteen years we had with you. Thinking about you at the Rainbow Bridge, young and healthy again, helps to ease the sadness and pain. Rest in peace little girl; you were loved so very much. Love, Mommy, Daddy, John, Bill, TJ and Mary.


Buffy, 08/27/00

Buffy came to us as a rescue through my dad & his wonderful girlfriend Cynthia. They knew that we were looking for a dog & matched us up. She was older and harder to place, but it was especially difficult since she had a thyroid disorder and her previous family apparently did not have the patience to give her medications each day. We fell instantly in love with her even though she was about 20lbs overweight and not even able to climb a flight of stairs or jump into the SUV. Schipperke's are known for their hyperness and for being very cleaver. She was all of that. Eventually she lost her excess weight and was a VERY active member of the family. She took to my son, Corey, right away and he truly became her boy. He loved her with all his heart and defended her even when she was less than friendly to the other dogs who came into our lives. After living with us for a year and a half, she began having seizures without any warning. The vet said that they could not keep her overnight so we took her home with us that evening. I held her and pet her quietly and she seemed sleepy and tired, but when Corey held her, she sprang to live and actually jumped down to the floor and walked around with her signature fast pace. That lasted for at least 15 minutes before the weakness overcame her and she fell asleep in the cat box (ick) but I picked her up and dusted her off and let her be alone in her kennel. I honestly believe that she wanted Corey to have the memory of her like her normal self and not the scared, shaking mess of a dog he'd found outside that morning. Corey and I had family business & had to leave town that evening. Our family at home was to take her back to the vet the next day. It only took one day to realize that it was so severe that we would only be prolonging her misery to keep her alive.

We miss her so much & I still get a tear when I see another Schipperke. We've vowed to have another one, but for now we have two other dogs to love...but they'll never be her.

We hope your sitting Froggy Doggy style where ever you are and that you found someone to scratch your belly and to take you for car rides.

Love Jeannette & Corey


Buffy A. Hancock, 11/24/83-10/12/01

Buffy was the best friend that anyone could have. She is missed and going to be missed for ever. She was truly loved by everyone.
We Miss you Tubby

Buford T. Justice, 10/01/01

Buford was by far the most unique cat I have ever encountered. He always brought a smile if not a laugh to anyone who saw him. He was my friend and will be missed more than he could ever know. He did not deserve to suffer the way he did. He will be in my heart until I am reunited with him. No words will ever be able to adequately describe the joy he brought to my life. He touched the lives of so many people. He will be missed by all. Good Bye Buford, my good friend.

Buggs, we miss you dearly and I am beside myself with grief. Sam cries and looks for you everyday. I know he feels alone because he had you with him entire life. Lucky looks for you also when we say your name to chase you around and play like b4. Daddy is being strong for all of us but his heart is hurting as well. We love you Bugsy kitty, until we are reunited you will always be in our hearts,

Bugsy, 06/01/88-07/01/01

To our friend bugsy, we did not spend as much time together as we should but that was because you were always there for Dylan and Brandon, Your soft touch constant cheerfulness will always be missed as we think of you always and the way that you played with James, especially with the washing on the line. you are there now with James, Findley, Major and Missie, and we know that you are having fun.

See you soon old friend

Bullet, 04/16/89-03/25/01

Early this morning our black Labrador Retrieve "Bullet" quietly past away, with his last breath of air he reached out to all of our family, my two sons and especially my loving wife Pat. All of our hearts still feel full from the love he gave us so freely.

Now I know why they chose the lab as the number one all around North American Dog. As a young boy I have had several dogs Rex and Saber they were mix breed mostly German Shepard. They too were wonderful loving dogs, but I never experience a dog that was as playful, gentle and kind as the Lab.

To me his personality seem to belong in a smaller dog, he didn't have that wildness that is often associated with large dogs. Please let me share with you one of these special moments. At Halloween a little girl came to the door for some candy, Bullet rush to the door as the door bell rang, imagine a big black lab at the door, her mother was a little hesitant and ask if her little girl could pat our dog. I replied to the little girl you can kiss him and she put out here little arms and kissed him, bullet responded with a small lick to her face. At times he was too friendly, but that was Bullet. You often hear of dogs biting people but let me tell you I would not hesitate to leave him with small children. My sisters dog Ziggy when he was a puppy would constantly bite Bullet on his neck but Bullet would tolerated this without fighting back, he even has protected Ziggy from other dogs when we went to the dog park. He used his size and that deep bark, to scare off other big dogs, (but if they only knew!)

I'm sure going to miss those great walks in the forest!

Bullet you will always remain in our hearts forever, thank you for sharing so much with us, till we meet again,

Aloha, Big Guy!

by Jim Poy

P.S. Thank you God giving us Bullet he was one of your best creations and for the chance to say goodbye to Bullet, please take good care of him amen!


Bullit, 8/16/83-3/26/01

Bullit

Sleep well my angel,
rest under the apple tree,
beneath the stars:
soar with the birds,
dance with the butterflies,
play in green fields,
and rows of catnip,
purr the stars away.

I am not far, my love;
from the kitchen window,
I see the mound- a fresh scab
to cover the wound.
Until we meet again,
remember our satin hours,
when I became you ,
and you became me.

Jane Pearce

Bun-Bun, 12/98-12/7/00

My baby girl was found wandering around and my son caught her and we kept her. She caught my heart instantly. She was so smart and was housebroken without any problems. She gave me something that I will never forget...unconditional love. If I had a bad day, all I had to do was look at her and pet her and all my problems melted away. She was so loving and so sweet. She got sick and I took her to the vet and I thought he could help her. Next thing I knew she was dead. I can't seem to get the image of when I last saw her out of my mind. He was examining her and she started gasping for air. She looked at me as if to say "help me..." The nurse took her away to put her on oxygen but then the doctor came back and said she passed on before he had a chance to do anything. Why do I feel so guilty like I couldn't help her? Bun-Bun, I miss you so much and I never wanted you to hurt. It's been a month now and I still cry for you. You were so incredibly loved. I will never forget you, my special baby girl. We will meet again.

With All My Love

Thank you little friend for all you gave! Your kisses and playful antics warmed my heart. I continue to miss you in the mornings, I still expect to be greeted by your wiggly nose and wet kisses. Whenever I open treats I think of you and expect you to run to me.
I miss you so much and I will never forget you! I am lonely but am glad you are free from pain. I love you Bun!!!
Love Christel, your girl

Bunny, 07/25/01

This is the story of a little bunny and our bad day.

I was on my way to work at 7:50 a.m., actually on time for once. I looked to my right and saw a bunny, half sitting, half laying on the side of the road. He was obviously alive, but hurt, since normal bunnies don't hang out with the cars. Our road is pretty bad for animals. We have a lot of critter deaths. I turned my car around at the next road and came back down the hill to make sure I was correct in what I saw. I was...One more time, I spun the car around until he was in view, parked it, put on the flashers, and grabbed a shirt from my trunk. Of course it had to be raining to add to the bunny's agony. I walked up to him and he just sat there. He squirmed a little when I picked him up. He had a major wound to the top of his little bunny head. He had blood on his face and some in his nose. I took him to my car out of the rain and off we sped to the only vet I could think of that was close by. As I drove, I could hear him struggling for breath. It's a sound I will never forget and it broke my heart. His lungs were filled with blood. He could barely get any air. He was crying/gasping with every breath. I got to the vet, and to my dismay, they didn't open till 9 a.m. It was only 8, I couldn't sit there and wait. I drove for another 10 minutes to another vet I knew of. They had a technician in but not a vet. She said they don't treat rabbits, and gave me the name of a vet that would. I'd been there before. It was such a long drive. But I had no choice. I drove more, for another 25 minutes till we finally reached the vet. Everything must have been working against me; the rain, the extensive amount of traffic, the vet... We got there and was told that the vet was not on duty for another 20 minutes and to have a seat. There was nothing she could do till then. Feeling defeated, I sat in that waiting room, cradling the bunny in my arms, trying to reassure him the best I could while trying to keep my tears under control. What a horrible ordeal he'd already been thru. Now he was in a strange place, being held by a human. Poor little guy. The fear he must have felt. Finally, we got a room and the vet looked him over. Luckily, he felt the bunny didn't have any broken bones. But he was in severe shock and could possible have brain damage due to the head injury. He felt it wasn't worth the extensive testing and such. He probably wouldn't make it. And even if he did, he probably wouldn't be the same. We decided to put him to sleep. After his ordeal was done, I took him home where my boyfriend and I buried him in our own "pet cemetary". His body is now at rest with my pet mouse, Bandit, and the bird and frog who also died near our home. As for his spirit, I believe he is hopping free, laughing and playing, teasing the cats! I told him before he died, that he was probably the only one of his whole family who got to ride on the inside of a car! He didn't seem amused though. I hope he's okay, and I'll get to meet up with him again at the bridge. I learned something today about people. I learned that some people are just so into themselves. How can someone hit a poor little animal, and leave it to suffer? How can so many people drive by, see the bunny sitting there, and just keep going? What's wrong with people!? This bunny was young. Probably just born this year. He had his whole bunny life ahead of him. SAD. I also learned that no vet is open at 8 a.m. and that the only ER vet around us is about an hour drive. That scares me as we have 2 dogs that live on that bad road. All I can do is hope for the best for my babies and for nature's babies. Good luck little bunny. Please know that in this cruel world of selfish people, that someone did love you and did care about you. You have a spot in my heart forever. Love CJ

Bunny (Pugs Bunny Foo Foo), 03/29/90-01/25/01

My darling Bunny, when I had to say good-bye to you over two weeks ago, the deepest part of my soul accompanied you to Rainbow Bridge. I pray that you're happy and healthy again with my other furbabies in heaven. From the day I brought you home, you became my beautiful baby girl -- the one precious critter that tugged at my heart like no other. We had a special bond that I someday hope to find again. I want you to know that I loved you too much to force you to stay. This I promise you, my Pugs Bunny: As long as I'm allowed to live on this earth, I will continue to take care of our fur-family until it's time to let them go to the bridge. I will be with each one... as I was with you... til their last breath. Tell my other furbabies that I love them, and don't forget to meet me someday at the bridge. I'll love you forever. Your mommy, Nan


Bunnybell, 04/07/01-08/05/01

I would like say a final goodbye to Bunnybell who brought so much love to my daughter Jennifer. Bunnybell was with our family for a short time but in that time she taught Jennifer the meaning of friendship and most importantly love of a friend. Bunnybell will be missed by all of us, but our memories of her will last forever.

Angel Bunnyfluff fought a hard battle with feline lymphoma and was pronounced in remission one day before she passed away in her sleep. She died at home asleep in her own bed with her little paws crossed. This was her final gift to me. I will love my little fluffy girl always.

Bunty Baggins Parker-Green, 1985-28/09/01

Our Beloved and Most Darling Mother Cat broke our hearts when she left this life, after a long, but brave, illness.
She gave, as a Divine Gift to us, in 1986, the four most beautiful kittens that one could dream of. We kept each one of them and they are a Tribute to their Mother, how beautiful and affectionate they have always been! ...Our Beloved Bunty, that Maureen sometimes called "Boodles", was laid to rest in a lovely Scottish shawl, which she often slept in.
Au revoir our Beloved Bunty, till' we meet again in that Great, Divine Source of Light, Our Holy and Beloved Creator. Intercede for us, to help us in this life and to give us a touch of your bravery and goodness. We love you and will never forget you, our beautiful and loyal Mother Cat.
See you at Rainbow Bridge, darling. xxxx xx

My Precious Beloved Bun Wun, I love and miss you very much, one day we will be together again. I am so sorry that I trusted someone to take care of you, I never thought that they would be so careless and leave you all alone in the yard with the dog. I should have took you with me on my trip like I did before. I pray that you didn't suffer and know that you were so loved by me.

Your Loving BunMommy


Burkes Lady Sue (Susu), 12/01/85-07/22/01

Burton, 12/17/93

Out of all of our children that we have had, Burton was truely a gift from heaven.
He had enough LOVE for everyone and everything. He possessed a pure soul with the face of an angel. He never asked for a thing and accepted everyone for what they are. He fought so bravely to stay with us and did not want to disappoint. In the end it was too much for his little body to take and he went away to wait for us to join him on that Rainbow bridge.

Buster was only 6 years old when he succumbed to lymphoma. He fought for 3 months with the disease before it took the better of him. He had been on prednazone since he was diagnosed and it was an uphill fight all the way. I will never forget Buster. he was my best friend in the world and each day is getting harder not to have him around. I'll love you Buster forever. I just hope that you are feeling better now. Love mom

Buster, 10/2001

Buster

His Name was Buster, The Bichon Frise,
Hubba Hubba is what he could say.
Running around, Day and night,
Buster and Chevy used to fight.
But they are brothers
The house they will stay,
And they now always play.
Buster would roll of the bed,
Running down stairs to be fed!
We went on rides in the jeep,
And of course beside me was Buster, but he always ate me Custard!!
Buster got into the garbage,
His beard was full of spaghetti,
And guess who helped him? Obviously Chevy!
When he ate his food,
Food falls out of his mouth,
And all over the couch!
Buster walked in, his paws were dirty,
I cleaned him up in a hurry.
For mom was coming home.
Every Corner Buster would pee,
No one would know except for me!
Buster sometimes blinked with one eye,
But he couldn't even hurt a fly!!
When someone came to the door,
He went clickety-click across the floor!
Wagging his tail, he wanted his leash,
Cuz he wanted his walk, CAPISH!
So we weep and cry,
For under the ground Buster will lie
I will always miss his Jolly old face,
But I know he went to a better place O: )

Buster, 03/11/97-10/17/01

Buster;

I did not realize just how much you truly meant to me until you were taken from me. I can't seem to find a good picture of you. I have plenty of your Momma, but can't seem to find what I am looking for because what I am looking for is you. I love you so much Bustie. I miss you. I need you. I want you. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me baby.

Buster (Bubba Love), 06/08/93-08/07/01

My baby, my best friend. I do hope you understand why I had to put you to sleep. I will always love and miss you. My heart aches, but I do hope your in a better place. And I hope one day my tears and sorrow can be replaced with the joy of knowing you again. All the special things that made you you. The way you carried your mouse around the house in your mouth, the way you'd drop it into my lap to play "fetch" and if I was ignoring you, the way you'd gently bit my arm to get my attention. The way you'd watch tv and think that birds and insects where right there, The way you always used to sit on my chest and Kneed the dough, or sit on my leg and just hang. Buster, my Bubba Love, my child I truly saw a part of me die with you yesterday, and I do hope you can forgive me

Buster (Moo Cat), 01/10/00-07/21/01 Camera Icon

Buster was the only member of my immediate family, and the closest thing to a child I will ever know.

I had rescued him from an abusive home, as the owner had so many uncared-for barn cats, that she did not mind giving me one. I nursed him back to health from feline distemper, followed immediately by being severely injured from being caught in the engine of a truck. Later, I saved him from being crushed by a falling refrigerator. In all that time, we naturally grew tighter and bonded more deeply than most of my other cats and I had, although I have loved every single one deeply.

From the first time I had seen Buster, I knew he was one special cat. He was extremely friendly and inquisitive, and he was spotted like a Dalmatian, or a Holstein cow. The first time my brother saw him, he immediately nicknamed him "Moo Cat". Buster also had an extra digit in his toes that allowed him to grasp things almost like a hand. He preferred to scoop his dry food one kibble at a time from the bowl with those dexterous toes, and eat it from his paw.

He LOVED to watch television. The first time I let him into the house, he scoped the place out, found and used the litter pan immediately, and discovered TV. Enthralled, he sat for 30 MINUTES (an unbelievable attention span for a cat, but I know because I had kept looking at the clock, because I had never had a cat that had even noticed TV before), and that cat watched the TV as I played the playstation. He watched the character that I was controlling so thoroughly, that I quit playing the game and just made the character run around so he could try to catch it! The first few times I had the character run off the side of the screen, Buster would circle the entire television alertly, evidently trying to figure out where that crazy-looking "mouse" had come out at! I laughed and laughed.

And every day after that first was like that. Buster found so many ways to amuse me, and everyday was fun and enriching. He was a very affectionate cat, and he loved to cuddle, more so than any other cat I have ever had, except for Ebony, a little black female cat that I had when I was little. Buster and I were very close, and I am going to miss him so much. I have loved every pet I have ever had deeply, but there was something so special about Buster, that I know it will be a very long time before I find another pet like him, if ever.

I believe that animals have souls, and as good a creature as my Buster was, he is surely in Heaven, waiting for me. I can't wait to see him, and all the others that have gone before him, again, and if the good Lord deems me worthy, I am confident that I will join them all again one day.

Buster, 03/24/90-06/19/01

Buster, 08/90-06/14/01

Buster, you were a true friend. You gave your love unconditionally to us. You were there in the good times and the bad. You knew when I was sad and you cheered me up. I miss you so much. I know that you are not in pain now. I know that you will be waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge for someday when we meet again.

Buster, 06/10/89-05/17/01

To our Buster dog, we loved her so very much. She brought twelve years of laughter, joy and unconditional love to our lives. There isn't a day that passes that we don't think of some funny little thing she use to do. Her one and only goal in life was to make us happy and she certainly accomplished that !!!!..... Our days and nights seem empty without her, but we know she's in a better place. She will always be with us in our hearts.

We will miss you Bussy-doodles. Mackenzie will especially miss you sleeping on her bunk bed with her, and snuggling on the couch on cold days. We hope you have fun playing with Amber and Mikie and all the other special pets in heaven.

Mackenzie will show pictures of you to her little sister when she gets older, so she will know what a special a special place you have in our hearts.

You are a very special kitty and we were blessed to have you with us for 7 years.

We love you!

Buster was a very sweet and special friend to me. He followed me everywhere. When I was happy he was happy, when I was sad, he tried to comfort me. But now I'm so sad at losing him and he's not here to comfort me. He was ready to go but I so wanted him to stay a little longer. Tears may stop but my love will endure for my little pup, Buster Brown (aka peanut butter).

the thrill of running free
wind at your face
in a single carefree moment time stops.
as in life always beside each other
now together forever in death's embrace.
the rain comes down like my tears.
running truly free now
no fences to contain you.
memories now are cherished moments
eternally frozen in time.

Buster it will be a year on Sunday 4/22/2001 since you left me to journey to the rainbow bridge and I still miss you so much. You were my best buddy and the very beast friend I have every had in my life. I know you are healthy and happy now and no longer in pain and are happy playing with Spot and Casey while you wait for me. Maybe you are even with "Dad" and you all are just waiting for the time we will all be together again. I miss you terribly dear friend and I thank God for the privilege of sharing in your life. No other Furbaby has touched my heart and become a part of my soul as you are still. I look forward to the day when again you will lay your head in my lap and gaze at me with big loving eyes and your unconditional love and devotion. Until that day dear friend be healthy and happy at the rainbow bridge and "Mom" will be there to see you again some day.

Buster Meredith, 08/11/95-12/18/01

My Buster, how I miss you with each day. What am I ever going to do without my best friend in the world. You were always there to keep me company and cheer me up when I was feeling down. You were a true beagle through and through and I'll always miss your deep bark and your enthusiasm when it was time to go out. The bed's just not the same without you lying next to me no matter what the temperature outside. Yesterday was Christmas day and I missed you especially more since no one enjoyed their Christmas dinner more than you. Oscar is lost without you and keeps walking around the house looking for you. He's not the only one that keeps hoping that you will reappear. You put up a strong fight while you battled lymphoma and mom tried to do everything she could to help improve your quality of life. Even though you battled only 3 months with the cancer, I cherished every day that we had you with us. Deanne and Ryan have seen how devastated I have been since having to say goodbye to you last Tuesday night and the best present they gave me yesterday was a mirrored frame with a picture of you in it. It sits proudly on my desk at work. I'll never forget you and will think about you every day until we meet again someday. I love you Bub and miss you. Love Mom, Deanne, Ryan, your brother Oscar and all the cats.


Buster Sanso-Frankel, 08/23/01

Buster, my loving and faithful companion
who followed me everywhere I went
who greeted me at the door with such joy
Catcher of frisbees who went blind then could catch no more
Lover of milkbones who grew ill then could eat no more
I am so sorry that you suffered with confusion for 2 weeks.
I don't blame you for spitting out that nasty medicine.
I miss your sweet face and the wag of your tail.
I will remember you always and love you forever.

Butch, 11/25/00-05/19/01

I can remember the first time I saw the little guy, he was the size of a mouse. I could put him in my pocket and he would never move. It was love at first sight. We really had to watch for him because of his size. We decided to name him Butch, he was a tiny fella but had a huge heart. He soon took over the house. Our other two dogs were soon doing as he wanted them to do. He grew to the great size of 4 pounds. The day Butch left us was a very sad day for all of us. I know I will see him again one day, just can't wait for that day to come. I just want Butch to know we love you and will miss you dearly.

Butch, 02/06/01

Butch was such an angel straight from God. He was a golden retrieve/shepard mix. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis on Oct. 20, 2000. I had to stop working. It was such a horrible time. My body was doing things that I had never experienced before. Butch could sense that. When my legs were so weak that I could hardly walk, he would go by my side, as if to say: "Here I am momma, hold on to me". When I got so weak, that it's hard to get out of bed, Butch would come and lay his nose on my bed as if to say, "Here I am momma, your not alone". He would then lay on the floor as close to the bed as he could get. I could put my arm over the side of the bed and could feel him laying there. I always felt so protected. His sense of love and compassion was so great. When the pain would get so bad, and I would sit on the couch and cry, Butch always would know how I felt. He would walk over and lay his head on my lap and let my tears of pain fall on him. Butch had alot of problems, with hip, kidney and back leg pain. We knew he was hurting and in pain, but yet, to him, the pain that he was going thru was not an issue as long as he saw me hurting. He sacrificed his pain and suffering in order to help, love and protect me. My heart misses his touch and loving eyes. My husband and I have no children, so Butch is one of our children. My husband, Teddy and I never felt such pain and sorrow in our lives until the day we decided to have him go on to be with Jesus in heaven. I do believe that Jesus has led Butch to show me this website for healing purposes. I have never before heard of such a website. We believe that Butch is in heaven, still watching over us, and still helping us. That was like him, always thinking of us first. I know that Butch is waiting by the Rainbow bridge. Playing with the other loved ones that are there. I Thank you for sharing this website with the world. God has given us such companions and since God gave, then God will make sure that such blessing return to him. I would like to thank Butch: "Butch I thank you for the wonderful 16 years of love, protection, and compassion that you blessed us with. You gave of yourself, and never demanded anything. You were gentle, humble and loving. We will always love you and miss you. There is a place on our hearts that have been engraved with your warmth and love. I praise Jesus for you. We will see you by the bridge on the appointed time that Jesus has for us all. Until then, have a good time. Love, laugh, and play in the meadows with all the other loved ones. You were such a blessing here, and I know that you will be a blessing in heaven. That's because that's who/what you are: a blessing." ....Debbie/Ted Lyons


Butch, 08/10/96-02/08/01 Camera Icon

Butch, a loving, caring animal with a sense of always being there. He was always with me, rain, hail or shine, and he always waited for his "dinner". He had the most beautiful nature, and Butch will be missed an awful lot around here. Butch died of a fatal Brown Snake bite, or so my family and I think. He'll always remain in our hearts, and I hope he lives on, forever. He was only going to be turning five years old, this year.
Goodbye, Butch, I will always love you.

Buttercup, 08/12/01

Buttercup we love you and miss you very much. You were meant to have your operation to remove your abscess and tooth on Monday, yet you died sometime Sunday from 12am to 8am, alone. We took you straight to the vets on Saturday afternoon as soon as we noticed the side of your face was swollen. We didn't have an appointment but you were seen by the vet. We were told to bring you back first thing Monday morning to have the abscess removed. We asked if it would be alright to leave it to then, we were told yes. The vet was wrong it wasn't. You didn't make it to the next day. We feel so angry as the abscess came up suddenly, you didn't have it Friday. We took you straight away, and if the vet had seen to it right away you would be still here with us. We did question the wait for the removal but you believe what the vet tells you as they are the experts or supposed to be. You had only had your teeth clipped by the vet 10 days ago. Why were you not helped immediately? Please forgive us for believing the vet. The only consolation is that you won't be alone for long as your friend Fraggle has not got long with us. The vet wanted to put Fraggle to sleep 5 weeks ago as he said he won't last much longer. We still have him now. Buttercup we are so sorry and lonely without you, it hurts so much. We love you and will never forget you. Until we meet again. TAZ & BEV & FRAGGLE

Buttercup Shackelford, 09/08/87-10/19/01

Sweet Buttercup:

Oh, how empty our home and hearts are without you! You would think that 17 years would satisfy, but we will always feel you should have been with us longer.

Please forgive us for keeping you longer than we should have. It was selfish of us. We hope that your pain is now gone.

How can we go back to the ocean without you? How can we rent Grandpa's Cottage or camp in our trailer without you?
How will Romeo and Juliet learn more rules?

Please run those fields of heaven with Tigger and Shakespeare and Bandit. We will join you soon. We will never fear our death because we believe that you will run down that path when we enter.

Thank you for 17 years of heartbeats just for us. You are always in our hearts and souls.

Love,
Robyn and Dwayne
and Angela (your sweet girl is getting married on Nov.4!)

Love MOM Julie


Button, 06/22/01

Our beloved Button,

Our hearts ache over your loss.
In your final act of love, you let us know that it was time,
and passed on while in our arms.
We know we will see you again.

Love,

Mammy and Daddy


Button, 08/19/87-04/30/01

We called our dog, Button, our "puppy", even though she was 13 years old. She had a spunky spirit, a sweet and youthful look about her, and she loved us unconditionally. We will miss her terribly.

Our dog, Button, died April 30, 2001. She was 13 & 1/2 years old. She was part Dachshund and part Welsh Corgi. She was our family's first dog we have had as a family. We adopted her on August 19, 1987, at the animal shelter. We called her our puppy, even though she was much older. She had a young puppy face, and the spunk of a younger dog. She was well loved by Christy, Danny, and Bonnie, as well as the man of the house who thought he never wanted to have a dog! Since I was home the most, she followed me everywhere within the house. She was a spoiled house dog, and yet we would not have done anything different.

Button had arthritis and was taking daily meds for it. She just got too old and too tired to get up. But she wagged that tail till the very end! Even as I said goodby at the Vet, she still wagged her tail! I know it was the right time to say goodby and ease her pain, and help her go into the next life. I know she met Sam at the bridge; Sam always took such care of her at the Kennel, and during her grooming times.

Oh, my sweet baby, Buttons....

Here it is another Christmas without you. I think about you each and every day, and miss you like crazy!
I wish in my deepest heart that you were still here physically with me. But I feel your love every day. I love you so so much, you'll always be in my heart. You were there for me at the times in my life when I needed someone very special. And that you were. You still are special to me!

Merry Christmas honey, and someday, we WILL be together again, never to be parted again!

Love always,

for my Angel Face

Buttons, my baby girl,
I want to talk to you

I want to pick you up and show you
how much I miss you
and how loved you are
and always will be

I want to tell you how profoundly you affected my life
and what you taught me about unconditional love
and courage at all costs

you were sent to me by God
and so you are my Angel Face
and an angel's face you have
and the sweetest heart to accompany it
and the most beautiful little Cocker head this world ever saw

when I didn't have much else
in my early days
you were more than my hobby
you were my will to smile
and my comfort at the end of hard days
you were my best friend
and I believe you will be the best friend of my life

you, my Angel Face, loved me tirelessly
and judge me, you never have
but greet me with your version of a smile,
you always did,
even in the face of pain

and my sweetheart, you need to know
that there is nothing in Heaven or Earth
that I would not do
to ensure your happiness and comfort
for that is the least I could ever offer
for your unconditional love
and immense joy that you bring to me

…still

I miss you every day that I live here
but this is but a sort separation for us
as God brought His best home to Him

and when He is ready for me
I will find you and run to you
and pick you up into my arms

and in our new neighborhood
we'll have to find out all about the nearest park
and I won't forget the bubbles
or ballies
or flippy fliers

…I know you haven't

you were always the good one,
but i'm not so sure about Jakey
keep an eye on him for me until I get there

baby, Sissy loves you and always thinks of you
and your big patas
and your constant courage to withstand any obstacle thrown your way

you have uncommon strength,
the likes of which I have never seen
in the human variety

my love affair with the four-legged kind
began with Jakey
but was nourished by you

your friendship is the purist kind,
and to this day
I seek your qualities
and heed the values that you taught to me
in every new friendship

you are family, Angel Face
and there is nothing I still won't do for you

you never lost a battle
and your legacy as a Steel Magnolia
is well-deserved and documented

I miss you sweetheart
but I know you're happy
and chasing those damned elusive bubbles

you have my every respect
I will never forget you

Fraulein, Sadie, and Packey miss you too
and send you licks

everybody loves you
no one who ever met you didn't like you
you are of the purest hearts
I love you Cuffy

every time I log into a computer
or withdraw money
your name as a password bears bittersweet thoughts

but this is not sad, rather joyous
you were never anything but sweet and happy
and so I will remember that

i'll see you soon
I miss you
I love you
i'll never ever forget you Cuffy

forever in my heart


Sissy

Thank you so much for the last 10 years together and I shall miss you more than I would ever have thought possible. I shall cherish every day we had and every memory until my dying day when we can be together again.

All the other cats love and miss you, especially Touzer your adopted daughter.

Be at peace and be happy until I can hug you again.

Bye for now sweetie,

Papa

Buttons was the 1st pet I owned since moving out on my own many years before. My then boyfriend (now husband-Dave) bought him for me the day before Dave moved in with me. I teased Dave til the end that I had Buttons longer then I had him. He was a cat with a personality all his own~~a "dog in a cat body"! He would often get our part-pit bull (Sheba)in the nose and poor Sheba would come running to us. Buttons was king of the house, the big kahuna! He would stay by my side when I was sick and would cheer me up when I was down. My niece gave him a voice~~he was French and was in charge of making the croissants. Whenever I was on the phone with my sister (and only her) he would walk on the phone and "beep" her in the ear as if to say hello. He would sit on my monitor nightly and watch as I "played" on the computer. He was more than my cat, he was a part of the family. Even when I knew he was going to live with God, he still tried to make me feel better. The morning that he passed on, he waited until I woke up, to tell me goodbye before he ran that final few steps to the rainbow bridge. Now I know he is in a much better place with God and Sheba and he is playing in the field waiting for me to join him.

Buttons, 07/09/91-05/08/01

Oh my baby girl, I don't even know where to begin. Thank you so much for the love and happiness you brought us in the 10 years we were together. You were my one constant and I miss you terribly. I'm so sorry I couldn't save you but I'm glad I tried everything for you then, so you were able to come home to us for those last few precious days. A piece of me died with you that final day and my heart has broken. We feel so lost without you. Our arms ache to hold you, our ears long to hear your cute little bark, our hands long to rub your furry little body and our lips miss kissing you all over. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you and all the joy you brought to our lives, but we are glad you are no longer suffering. We were so blessed to have you with us for the time you were here. Wait for us at Rainbow Bridge Buttons. We'll be together again. Love you forever and a day, Mumma and Daddy

Ode to Buttons, my very best friend ~
Buttons, you filled so many holes in my life and now that you are gone I feel your loss so very deeply *sobs*
Buttons, I have never been loved so unconditionally as you did for me and I feel so privileged to have had you in my life and to feel so loved by you.
Buttons, no one has ever waited on the window sill for my return, nor helped me open the door with those precious kittie paws. The first day you were gone I looked up expecting to find you and your loss was felt very deeply.
Buttons, you were the first furry face I saw in the morning and you were the last furry face I saw before I slept at night.
Buttons, you were there in the middle of everything I did, even sitting on top of this very monitor with one leg dangling in the middle of the screen and the paw swatting at my hair. I have your picture sitting up on top of the monitor as I type this wishing you were here with me right now and grieving deeply for your loss.
Buttons, I will miss your long bushy tail that knocked everything off the table, that entwined around my legs and tripped me when I walked across the room.
Buttons, I will miss your gentle kittie paws as you rose up to greet me when I returned home.
Buttons, I will miss the silly things you did to amuse me like the day I had a bubble bath and you just thought you could walk across it and surprise..... !!!
Buttons, I will miss that look that passed between us when our eyes locked that only you and I shared.
Buttons, there will always be a very special place in my heart for you, always.
Always remember I love you and always will.
Your suffering has ended. Sometimes I think you endured your pain out of the love we had between us. I know I endured mine just because you were there for me.
I will be looking for you at the Rainbow Gate, count on it.
I will never forget you and what your love did for my life.
There will never be another Buttons like you.
You are my kindred spirit, my reason for life and living.
Your humbled friend in love,
Debbie Leggett


Buttons, 12/13/90-09/05/92

Buttons, I miss you oh so much! Even though it's been nearly 10 years since your passing, I still mourn you like it was yesterday. You've taught me so much in your short life, especially how to love. I'll never, ever forget you, my sweet little angel. You were truly the best friend I had. Though you may be gone, you are not forgotten. Someday, you and I will meet again, never to be parted.
"I believe, there are angels among us,
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours,
To show us how to live,
To teach us how to give,
To guide us with a light of love." -Alabama-

Buttons, you are truly my angel...
I love you.
Sherry, your mommy


Buttons, 03/26/01

Buttons, you were everything I ever wanted in a friend and a cat I loved you with all my heart and I wish you didn't leave me all alone I am sure you are with your friends at the rainbow bridge and I am just glad that you will not be in pain anymore I will always miss you and there hasn't been a day that has went by that I haven't thought about you I love you and I will always miss them lazy kisses :*( I hope you are ok hunny mom and dad love you and miss you so much

Buttons gave me 14 years of unconditional love. In fact, he taught me the meaning. He was there for me through everything and it was with his help that I overcame the bad points in my life. Whenever I was sad, he was the first to rush to my side to comfort me. He was the most loving friend I have ever known and he holds a permanent place in my heart. In fact, his name is etched on my soul.

We shared many a quiet moment together. He knew 14 years of secrets that had been whispered in those little floppy ears. Whenever I told him my problems, he would sit quietly and listen with no prejudice. I will never forget the way that those big brown eyes looked up at me.

His body is gone now and he won't be back. Our paths on earth have parted, but as long as I live, his love and indomitable spirit will be in my heart. My tears now fall at the mention of his name. I miss the gentle presence that comforted me on a daily basis.

Run in the fields my little one. Enjoy the sun. Find a warm sunny spot for a snooze. Have fun with your old friend Beau. You are free of your body now. Watch over me and please be there to greet me when it is my time.

Please say a little prayer for our family - We had to have our precious Buttons for nineteen years and we had to have her put to sleep because she was old and tired and it was the best thing for her to go to doggie heaven - for any families who have lost a pet I say a prayer for you - it is such a difficult thing to go through but she will always be a part of us and she will live in our hearts forever

Jerry, Joyce, Lisa & Kim

My Buttons was my precious baby. I never wanted any animals until the day I saw her. She took my heart that day, and she had made me happy ever since. She loved me unconditionally and was always by my side. She never was a problem and in fact, she was a real joy to me. When I cried over something, she was the first one to come to me and lick my face and let me know she was concerned. She slept with me and didn't want anyone else in that bed except me and her. Whenever I fixed meals, she was always there to make sure she got to taste everything, and you can be sure that I gave her whatever I fixed. When her health began to fail, I denied the fact that she was getting worse because I wanted to hold onto her. I prayed for God to take her in her sleep, but when it didn't happen, I had to make that dreaded decision to have her put down. All the way there, her sister Kim (my daughter) and I cried and told her how much we loved her. I know she heard us because she twitched that precious little eye as to tell me that she loved us too! Oh, how it hurts so much. I never knew that someone could touch my heart like she did! I will never forget her and I do hope God takes animals to heaven, because I want to see her again. Please, if you have a pet, give them your utmost attention, for when they are gone, there is an emptiness you cannot describe. Goodbye for now Buttons, my precious doll, until we meet again. Love, mommy

We miss you terribly.
