J.A. thru Justice

Dear Sweet J.A. -

You made us better for your gentle, sweet, caring, easy-going presence. You will never be matched.

Love always,
Susan & Cathy
Jose, Harleigh & Cliffie

He was a wonderful cat and he was a great friend.

Jack was such a special fellow. He never met a stranger he couldn't dazzle. Head butts were his stock in trade and he could always read us. When I became sick he would sit on my lap the whole day and fill me love. I miss him still

Denise Haws

To Darling Jack, I love you with all my heart & soul, more than anything.

Love, Carol XXX

Sleep peacefully, Mister. You were such a faithful boy.

Sam & Linda

Daddy's favorite, our special Halloween boy. How you bounced in and out of our lives so quickly. First you and then the next day Marky, that was especially hard on dad but no more tumors for you. Ella, Emily, Barnabus, Corky, Baby, and Kringle are waiting to make a "ferret ball" with you in heaven. Bounce away sweet boy, until we meet again.

Love you , Mom and Dad

Dearest Jack,

Words can not express how much I miss you, or long to hold you in my arms once again. You have been a part of my life for so long, that now it seems like a piece of me is gone. You brought so much joy and happiness to my life, you inspired me just by being you. You fought so hard to be with us, but in end, your poor little heart just couldn't take it. Though I feel you were taken long before your time, I am so grateful for the six years we had together. I will cherish them forever. I may in the future have other pets, but none will ever touch me the way that you did. I will love you forever and someday, I know that we'll be together again. Grandma misses you too, and sends her love.

Love, Mommy.

It has been two months since we had to say good-bye to the sweetest face in the whole world, Jack, our Jack Russell Terrier. In the 14 plus years we had our "little one" we found out just how fun and feisty Russells can be. We are devastated and our hearts will never completely heal. We miss the "kiss-eez" he gave us on our noses and the warmth of him next to us at night. Our beagle, Lacey, is a great comfort to us but we know she misses her "boyfriend." Jack has crossed the Rainbow Bridge and romps with our other two "angels" whom we lost in 1986 and 1998. GOD BLESS THEM!

Bob and Maureen Heiss

I miss you and love you.

J.D. has brought such joy to my life for the past nine years of my life and I feel so empty living this life without him. He was truly my best friend and will remain in my heart forever and ever. J.D. you are the best friend anyone could ever ask for and I will miss you. Love you, Mom

You were the most wonderful friend anyone could ever have. You are missed and loved very much. You will always be in our hearts. We know you are now at peace and without the pain of cancer. We were with you until the end and we will be with you again.

The Jestice Family

Jackie, you weren't my bunny, but you were so special.
You deserve to be known by the rest of the world. You came to the rescue at 4 days old, your Mama having passed away from ill treatment and over-breeding. but you, my sweet love, were not to blame for mama's death. Instead, you were one of her last beautiful miracles. You grew up so friendly and strong, about as self-assured as a little bunny could be. You never knew the meaning of a cruel or neglectful hand, as your special Mama would have wanted it, and you gave all of us at the rescue the same love back that we showed you--maybe even more so. You were such a jovial little bunny-girl, just happy to be alive and enjoy the fresh air and a nice meal. You never batted an eye when I had to clean out your entire cage with you still in it; in fact, I think you tried to help me by moving out of the areas I had to clean! You were amazing! However, on a horribly fateful day in October you were found in your cage, gasping for your last breaths. Your little body spasmed, struggling to get the oxygen of life into your tiny, immature lungs. You were held and loved as you passed away; I thank the Good Dear Lord that you did not die alone. If only you hadn't been housed next to the Angoras with pasturella, maybe you'd still be binkying today. But what happened, happened, and the horrid result is now irreversible. You must be hopping healthfully all around the lush meadows of the Rainbow Bridge now with your beloved Mama, nibbling on green grass and sipping the cool water that flows eternally from the fresh rainbow spring. Hopefully, when we meet again someday, you'll give me a binky and I'll give you a bunny-nuzzle. Although you were one of over 100 bunnies, you were a special girl to me and you'll not be forgotten.
Stay good! Give God a hop, skip & a jump whenever he gets a little down in the mouth, OK? You were the little-miss-hopping champion in my eyes. And have fun with all your other friends who have passed on, as well. Your 3 brothers will carry on your memory down here.
Love you, baby Jack!

Joanne

Jackie, my best boy, my dearest friend and comfort, guardian and confidant, I miss you with an emptiness that is indescribable. The house is too quiet, the furniture too empty. You were everything I could have wanted in a friend; words will never be enough to express how you filled my life and the void I experience now. I know I will see you (and Peter) again, and that gives me comfort and a little hope. You will have a successor, but never a replacement.

Carol Terry

I am sending this in for my friend Kath who lost her beloved Jacob after a long battle with an illness.
I want to acknowledge her love and devotion to Jacob and her thanks for being the animal lover that she is, she gave Jacob an additional 2 1/5 years when he was not suppose to live more than 2 days. Only her devotion and love for him carried him through these past two years.

I love you Kath, for being the loving woman that you are.
Jacob is at peace now and will always be around reminding you of his wonderful spirit.

Marie

Jacob, you were and always will be my sweet baby. I wish so bad that I could hold you and kiss you one more time. I wanted you to grow old with me, and be a part of my life forever. I miss you 'making biscuits' on me so early in the morning. Both Lexxie and Josie miss you too, things just aren't the same without you. Jake, the only thing that gives me hope is to know that I will see you again someday, along with Morris and Jasper. You guys will be waiting on me to walk across the Rainbow Bridge with you. Always know that I love you and miss you!!!!

Love, your mommy

To my funny bunny, may you be at peace now, free of your pain. thank you for whispering to me to come back inside to check on you, you knew that my guilt in knowing you died alone would be unbearable. I held you as you took your last three breaths, even though I knew when you fell still in my arms that it was over I still had hope that Dr. Saver could help you. We rushed to her but I looked into you half-open eyes and I knew you were gone. Thank you for 8 wonderful years...even though you destroyed almost everything I owned and had to vacuum up after you every day, what I will remember is how you would dance around my feet when I'd walk in, making your "happy" sounds and then waiting for your caresses. How you would come running from under the bed everytime I'd open up the box of Matzahs for you and how you made that funny face of yours, one ear up, the other one down and your left front tooth sticking out. I love you, Jacob Bunny, may you still feel my love from wherever you may be now.

Loreley

Oh Jacob, you must have been so very special for God to take you so soon! You are missed so much! We didn't even get to say goodbye! I miss you my sweet doggie!

Donna

Jacob I love you and will miss you forever. I am so sorry you had to suffer, but you should be at peace and having fun. I appreciate your purr and your friendliness to all who came to our home. You were the most beautiful cat I ever had. You were the best cat anyone could ask for.

Karen Kastler

Jada, You were my foster for only a few days, yet to touched me so deeply. You will be sadly missed by all of us, especially you play buddy Haley. You were a sweet angel whom I was so blessed to get to know!
We love you and miss you

Jade was a big, black, loving baby who spent most of his indoor time curled up in my lap or asleep with me in my bed at night. He was tolerant of the other cats (and even adopted the two youngest members of the feline family), and he loved life. He will leave a hole in my heart that will never be filled, but I will remember him and love him always.

Jenni Simpson

Jade was the best dog in the world and I love her very much. She was my most loyal and faithful friend for 17 years. She knew many words, was extremely sensitive to people and affectionate. She was very sweet, very pretty and still "queen of all she surveys". She loved her family, her home, treats, attention, soft places to sit or sleep.

Susan

Jade was much more than a "pet," she was my best "non-human" friend. We basically grew up together. She snuggled next to me when I was upset; she joined in with me when I cried. She knew about 14 years worth of secrets... secrets even I no longer remember. She suffered through cancer off and on for many years. She was stronger than any being I could ever imagine knowing. I hope that I will one day be half as strong as Jade was, and with a fraction of the love she was able to give. I can't imagine I will ever stop missing her. I know I will never stop loving her.

Never Ending Love
"Mistress Jadee Puter" CGC TDI
Aka : Jadee

On May 4, 1998 the sweetest angel came into our lives. My husband, Bret was out of town for 3 days, and I went to "just look" at the litter. Really, all I was going to do was look at them. Needless to say, Jadee came home with me that day. She was the only one of the girls who was more interested in me than in digging under the deck. The choice was easy. Jadee was a complete surprise to my husband. We had talked about getting a yellow Lab, but hadn't actively been looking. Jadee was born on St. Patrick's Day and came into our house as an 8 lb. bundle of energy. She was the runt of the litter. Maybe that's why I fell in love with her. Within the hour, Bret was in love with her, too.
We quickly became proud parents and realized we needed some guidance. We signed up for Puppy Kindergarten. Through the months, we graduated in our obedience, and as a group, we realized our dogs all had a special gift to give. We decided we wanted to share this gift. Gradually, we all passed our CGC and TDI exams and thus was born "Paw Pals Pet Therapy", now 16 members strong.
Jadee loved visiting all the nursing homes, hospitals, schools, and rehabilitation centers. She obviously thought the patients were there just to see her. I would get out her bandana, and the look in her eyes was incredible. You could almost hear her shouting, "Yippeee we get to go!" To see her at work was an incredible thing. Clients who had not spoken for months would light up at the sight of her. One woman saved her carrots for her. One man, who would often be so severely depressed, always asked to see the dogs. They tell us he would smile for days after a visit.
We began working on individual "canine freestyle" and doing a musical drill with the entire group. I'm not sure she thought this was so much fun, but I enjoyed it, and she so wanted to please me, so she did it with me. However, she was always looking around the crowd to see who was there. That was more important to her.
She loved swimming in the lakes and the ocean. In Myrtle Beach, S.C., she experienced the ocean. She quickly learned it was NOT the lake with its shallow waveless shores. The first wave tumbled over her and she came up sputtering. What WAS that? By the end of the week, she was bounding over the waves like a pro.
The summer of 1999 we learned she was born with bad kidneys. She was just a year and a half old. But through diet changes and careful monitoring, she thrived. The summer of 2000, we decided that she needed to retire from obedience classes and the group musical drill team. We didn't think it would be good for her to be worked so hard and didn't want to speed up the kidney failure. But she still loved visiting. We would go and visit as often as we could. Often I would mention to a patient that she had kidney disease. They could relate and would begin talking to us. Many of them had kidney disease, too.
Around Christmas, the anemia began making her tired. We took her in for a blood transfusion. Jadee refused to stop working. There was a couple that had come into the emergency center with their critically ill dog. Jadee's red blood count was very low, and she was so very tired. But my sweet angel saw how upset this couple was, and went to them. She laid her head on the man's leg, looked up at him with those soulful eyes, and told him it was ok. When he was done hugging her, she went over to the woman, who was standing at the window. She nudged the woman's hand. When the woman didn't respond, she sat down next to her, and looked out the window with her. I think she was trying to tell the woman that it was ok, and if she didn't want to hug her, then she would just sit with her. This is the power a therapy dog has.
As the week after New Year's passed, we could see that Jadee was failing quickly. It was obvious that her kidneys had finally given up, the anemia had taken its toll on her, and the dreaded disease was going to win. We called the family and asked them to come. With each visitor, Jadee's tail would wag a little harder, even though she had little strength left. On the morning of January 7, Bret's mom came to see her. As she left, Jadee found the strength to get up and go to the door before she pulled away, as if she wanted to say "good-bye" one last time. She wanted to tell her it was ok. An hour later, Jadee was helped to the bridge while resting peacefully on her day bed with her head in my lap. The last thing she heard was the two of us tell how much we both loved her.
January 7, 2001 Jadee became one of God's newest angels. Godspeed, my sweet angel. Wait for me on the bridge. Thank you for teaching me the power of love and the healing power of your unselfish love. We will miss you always.

Jadee

Jr there will never be another dog like you. We will miss always, not a day goes by we don't think of you. We will meet again

Jafar was my baby, he thought he was a person, at 9pm he would pace and fret to go to bed, and about 9:30pm if you didn't go, then he would go himself to bed. He slept in my bed, no kennels for him! Liked to play with cats! He was the father of many very beautiful puppies, and husband of Sassy, his mate. He had the softest/silkiest coat, and was one of the best looking Jack Russells I've ever owned/seen! We always had comments on him. Not a mean bone in his body! We went to Agility school, and Jafar went as far as 3rd level. It was soo fun, and he was so good at it, fearless. in 1997 we moved to Aransas pass, Tx from Canada. Sassy and Jafar had their last litter together on Feb 21,98. I traded 2 pups for 2 horses. sold 2 more and had 2 left when Jafar was shot and killed. He never left the property, and one night I let him out to go potty and he didn't come back in I called and called, and walked to the end of the lane, this was in the country, and it was dark, he never came, all night Id get up and go to the door and call him. The next morning I called, then we were feeding the horses, and planning to go looking...when we heard 2 shots! we took off to where they came from, Ron Matte's place, his wife denied seeing Jafar, and we couldn't find him. 3 hrs. later a neighbor called, Jafar was dead beside her trailer!! He had his lower jaw shot off, and was shot right thru' his body!! It was awful!! I kept both remaining puppies; Oliver and Marley. I know Jafar is waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge, as is Oliver; the sweetest, most laid back male JR I've ever known. Oliver got out and was hit by a car in April 2001. I miss you both, and think of you both everyday!! your always in my Heart!!, my faithful boys!!

Sheri Franks

You hold a very special place in my heart.

Caroline Pontonnier

She was my real Friend. I loved Her and She loved me...She was always ready to do everything I wanted Her to do...She protected me and I could always feel safely with Her...I have never had such a wonderful dog.

Dorota Kosciowska

Jaggs was the best friend anyone could ever ask for. We will never forget him greeting everyone with his red towel. I've been sleeping with it. We had such a connection with Jagger, one we will always remember. I'll miss him forever, I'll remember him forever, I'll love him forever!

To my angel of 13 Years....I love you so

Teri Midolo

I would just like to say Thank You to Jaime for being my best friend, she was the best bird, anyone could ask for. Jaime momma misses your kisses, and your soft beak rubs you gave me. Even tho you never learned to fly , here on earth, I know you are flying with the best of them... Oliver misses you, and calls for you all the time. He hasn't slept in his cage since you left. I will always love you, and miss you so much..

Love momma

My best buddy for alot of years. I'll miss him always. See you little grey monster.

L Lemay

Jake was a meat-mouth sharpei... and lived with us for a few years, always greeted us by bouncing mouthing our hands..... we called him slobber-mouth... just a wonderful, cheerful boy. Tonight Jake was lying down and didn't bounce up to see me. He wagged his tail as I held him and was breathing hard. I went inside the house to call my daughter to tell her that Jake was sick. When I returned a few minutes later, Jake was dead. I'm so glad I held him for a while...... he laid his head in my arms and seemed to breath more easily. I don't know why he died, but I hope he's with Jingle and Tom on the Rainbow Bridge.
I miss you, Jake. You were a joyful dog.

Jeane

for Jake the little white mutt who was lost and homeless when he was found, you adapted instantly to our home and loved to cuddle and anxious to please. you made getting up a pleasure just to see those big brown eyes ready for another day of pleasing and loving us. there will never be another Jake. you were one of a kind.

Jim

Jake, thank you so much for entering our lives and making us better people. We will miss your beautiful soft brown eyes that held such expression, the cock of your head when you had a question, and your leap of joy when the word "walk" was mentioned. You were barely alive that cold winter morning that Jimmy picked you up and held you in his arms. It was only fitting that Jimmy held you in his arms when the vet put you to sleep that dreary winter day. We only had you for 5 years but those years with you were equal to a lifetime. I know that wherever you are now, you are doing the things you loved to do, chase the deer, walk through the woods, ride with your head hanging out the truck window with your ears flying in the wind. Fly high, my pal. You deserve it. You made Jimmy, Charlene and Brannon better people by giving us the opportunity to love you. You were and will always be.....our dog of a lifetime. (Jake: Nov. 1996-Dec. 12, 2001.

Jimmy, Charlene and Brannon

Jake I miss you so much, & I am so sorry. You are my Jake Dog & Cheyenne, Casey & I will always love you.

The Hardest Thing I Have Ever Done

Friday August 10, 2001

His coat smelled like pears, his paws like popcorn. He stood, his head in my hands, my cheek to his cheek, my voice low, saying over and over again, “I love you, Jake. You’re a good boy. Thank you. Thank you, Jake.” Soon after the needle was inserted into his right arm, he looked at me deeply and he and I both knew in a dual-instance-of-recognition that this was our last moment together. We gently laid him down on the pine needles, in the shade, and he was gone. I embraced him one last time. After Dwight, our veterinarian, wrapped him in a blue blanket and strapped his body to a stretcher, I kissed him once more and then Tina and I lifted him and carried him to Dwight’s truck. Goodbye pats through the wrap.

Earlier in the day, we had taken him on the usual walk – through the woods, by fields, along the river. At one spot, he left the path and walked into a meadow, his fawn coloring blending him in with the dry grasses. I took pictures of him next to low, blue flowers. I thought, one day I will look at this picture and say ‘This is Jake on the day that he died.’

Today, after months of eating only bland, prescription diets, and then refusing to eat at all, Jake was offered a steak and his favorite treat – cat food. He ate both. One large steak. Three cans of cat food. Two chunks of cheese. Two pieces of toasted bagel. We gave him whatever he would take. We thought we could time it so that he would leave satisfied yet before the food could irritate the open sores in his stomach. It seemed successful, but he was a weary dog. Tired by the months of pain that the cancer caused; cancer, which we had discovered one week earlier.

Now, 3 hours after his passing, I sit and smell his collar and wonder where he has gone. Every few moments I am leveled by the reality that I will never see him again and nausea spills through me. I want to watch him turn the corner into the den and spot me, his ears going back, his tail wagging, his step quickening, trotting to me so that I can touch him and tell him what a wonderful boy he is. Sweet, gentle, loving. A wonderful boy.

I will miss – I already do miss – seeing him happy, dancing on his back on the bedroom floor so glad that we are home from work. I will miss never reprimanding him, because, really, what was the point? He never hid his mischievous deeds and was never ashamed of them. If I started to scold him, he would put his ears back, wag his tail and trot over to me so that I could touch him and tell him, really, what a wonderful boy he was. I will miss his insistence on getting under the covers of the bed, his climbing onto the couch in the den watching my back as I worked on the computer. I will miss his following me room to room so that he would not lose a moment with me.

I will yearn – I do yearn – to run my hand along his back and over his thighs and along his face. I will miss his stretching and his expectation that I would rub his chest while he stretched. I will miss his ears, one up, one down, both up, both down. I will miss his howling when, if he was ready to eat or go outside, we wasted time calling to the other dogs. I will miss his love of warmth, seeing him lying in the sun or by the pellet stove.

I will even miss the times he ran off when we were walking, because he always came back to me. And this time he won’t.

Keitheley Wilkinson

We will never forget our beloved Jake, black jumping dog, who was taken from us so suddenly and unexpectedly.

Glenn and Sue Wanerka

Just yesterday I had to say goodbye to Jake, and I can't imagine I'll ever get over losing him. He was just such a love, a friend, a companion. He was the closest thing to a child I'll ever have. He was a Christmas gift from my ex when we were first married. I was on the phone with Mom, ex came in, walked through the house to our bedroom, then when I got off the phone, he said "Marc, could you help me fold this laundry?" (we always threw it on the bed, then folded it. I thought it was odd, but started in. As I was turning to hang something in the closet, I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. I thought there was a RAT on the bed?!?!? It was Jake!! Teeny, tiny, scared little gray furball. That was 1987.

I have a pic of me giving him his first bath in the kitchen sink. He was so tiny I could hold him in one hand.

Once Jake chased a German Shepherd out of our yard because the shepherd had picked up Jake's stuffed puppy. The shepherd kept looking back over his shoulder, like "something's not right here, but I'd best keep running..." Another time a friend of ex's came by when ex was gone, and he reached out to pet Jake. Jake almost lunged out of my hand, he was so protective, especially with ex gone and me alone. It was pretty funny.

When ex and I divorced, I had to leave Jake with ex and his new live-in girlfriend until I found a stable place to live. At some point during the separation/divorce process, my former stepson showed me a picture of ex's new girlfriend's daughter holding Jake and I was hit by such a terrible pang of jealousy. That was MY baby, how dare ex's new girlfriend have anything to do with him. I got "custody" of him very soon after that.

Jake was with me the whole time I was single, and put up with millions of tears raining down on his little head. You know how it is when you're single and feel that no one loves you or ever will again...

When I remarried 4 years ago and moved from Tennessee to Colorado, Jake rode in the front of the Ryder truck with us. My new husband looked over after lunch and said "Heyyy, is he throwing up?!!" I pooh-poohed that idea....then realized Jake WAS getting sick. Apparently while we were in the restaurant, Jake discovered the 1-pound bag of dark chocolate covered espresso beans...and ate ALL of them. What a mess we had--we were in a construction zone and there was no place to pull over. In retrospect, thank goodness he DID throw up or he would've died from all the chocolate and caffeine.

We had my dad and his wife visiting us, and Dad went out to start the car we were all leaving in. I'd put Jake out and when we went to leave, we couldn't find him ANYwhere. I was panicking, almost in tears. All four of us were out in the yard, hollering, whistling, clapping, looking. Finally, we saw Jake....sitting in the driver's seat of the car, ready to go.

For awhile we had a kitten, Booger, who looooved to torment Jake. He'd hide behind the tone wall, then pounce on Jake as he came down the stairs. Honestly, all he wanted was to PLAY, he wasn't being mean. He wouldn't even back off when Jake was PEEing, for heaven's sake. I kept warning DH that his cat was going to get pissed on one of these days. And sure enough, Booger (cat) came up to be petted, and DH came away with a wet hand. tee hee.

Booger's in heaven now, too, and now that Jake isn't in pain, I imagine he's evening the score a bit. I will miss him forever. Thanks for understanding.

Marci

Jake was his name, he was an Irish Setter, Great Dane Mix, as a dog there was none better. I received Jake as an early Christmas present on 12/20/1988 he was only about six weeks old at that time. He was certainly a man's dog he was extremely obedient, soon after we brought Jake home we found out that my wife was pregnant and nine months later my daughter, Jessica was born. Jake, now weighing approximately 98 lbs., took this in stride he didn't become jealous or exhibit any bad behavior. My daughter pulled on ears on tails, pushed pulled, or poked every inch of this dog but Jake didn't even put up a struggle. My son, Jerold then came along and he was even worse to that dog but Jake knew he was loved. Jake went on almost all our vacations, except the ones that we flew, he was always with us. He went on daily walks with both me and my wife up until the last year when he just couldn't get around any more. He protected our home going so far as to always stand between any strangers that appeared either at our doorstep or in the yard. He was not aggressive but he would stand his ground when told to "check'em out". He was loved be me, my wife, my children as well as my extended family and my neighbors. Jake passed away on Friday Oct. 5, 2001 at 10:00 am after a long battle with bone cancer. He will be missed by all and I hope there is truely is a rainbow bridge or something like it because this dog deserved to go to heaven...

Peter, Kim, Jessica, And Jerold Hughes

I adopted Jake, a Black Lab/Shepherd mix, from the North Shore Animal League when he was 8 weeks old. Over the next 10 years we developed a unique relationship like no other in my life. Jake has touched me in so many ways and taught me so many things about life. He has perfectly demonstrated the art of giving and receiving, about love and selflessness and about optimism and a zest for living. I believe with all my heart that we are soulmates. I cannot begin to describe in words the connection I feel to him. He was, no doubt, a gift and I can wholeheartedly say, I am a better person because of Jake. I hope that Jake is over Rainbow Bridge with all the other beloved pets who have passed. I hope that he is swimming, his most favorite activity, and running wildly through fields of green grass chasing frisbees and thousands of tennisballs. I hope that he is free of pain and sadness and has an image of me in his mind so he can feel like he is still with me. The happiest time for me will be when we can be re-united and I can kiss his fuzzy face and look into his sweet eyes again. I love Jake with all my heart and soul!
Laura

Dear Jake,

Fifteen years together! How they flew! I wanted to have many more with you, but it was not to be. In the last minutes before you went to Rainbow Bridge, I'm not sure you heard me say that I love you so much. But I do and always will. You were an extra-special cat and will be in my thoughts and heart until we meet again.

Good night my baby.

Jeanne

When I first got Jake from the SPCA he was only 3 weeks old. After taking special care of him we developed a very deep bond with each other.
He brought my life so much joy and happiness. His unique character touched everyone he met. This loss has touched many us very deeply.
It is devastating to me to lose my shining star. Jake gave the truest form of unconditional love and he was there by my side during the good times and the bad times.
I will always miss his crazy little ways, the way he cuddled with me, the way he kneaded me, the way he ran around the house like a little black tornado and his loving nature!
I feel as if I have lost part of my soul but I know that he will always be a part of me.
Until the day comes when we will see each other again I know that he will be looking out for me and will always be by my side!
Jake your spirit will never fade, my love for you will never change and you will always be a part of my soul.

Shane Ollenberger

Jake was a very special and unique cat. He always purred... like a constant little motor was running inside of him. He had a bobtail, and he was the happiest cat I had ever seen in my life. He had a good heart; a good soul. Many people will miss him. R.I.P. Jakey. I love you. <3

Emily

Was there ever a cat like Jake?
Probably not.
Hit by a car, he was near death. His tongue was hanging by a thread and his face was beat up. But we also discovered something else. Jake had feline AIDS - no known cure, no known amount of time to live.
Jake survived. He was nursed back to health and became the baby of the family. His drinks were always from the bathtub faucet. He "did his thing" with his "girlfriend" = a cat pillow. He had his special place in the back room, laying in a window, fur pressed against the screen, enjoying the sun.
Jake's time ran out though. He started feeling ill this week, and the vet offered little chance of recovery. He came home and, day by day, began to lose his boundless strength and his energy and his appetite.
Today we could stand no more. Jake was mercifully taken back to the vet so he could be at peace.
He's at peace now. I'm not.
There was only one Jake, and I miss the hell out of him.

Bob Beckstead

You were my best friend and longtime, well-loved companion. You will be sorely missed. I will love you always.

Michele Price

I'll meet you at the bridge...

Irina

Jakers, we still miss you.

Shiloh & Swanny

I adopted Jake, along with his sister Clara, after my beloved Edgar died back in 1986. He was a very large cat, and people always commented on how large he was. Jake was very much daddy's cat. Wherever I was, that's where he was. In the last couple of years, he took to coming and lying next to me in the bed. He knew where to lie so that all I had to do was lift my hand and put it back down and it would be on his head. The last few months, he got a little more cantankerous, and he would gripe at me at first when he lay next to me, as if he were ordering me to pet him. Same when I'd be on the computer; he would lie in the chair next to me and occasionally gripe at me, as if to say "Pet me!"

I've had many pets, but Jake taught me more about unconditional love than any of the others. I will very much miss you, Jake, and I look forward to joining up with you again one day.

Jake was a very special friend. He and I had a connection like no other I've had with a four-legged friend. Our time together was short - he had cardiomyopathy and died of a heart arrhythmia after playing with my parent's dog on a camping trip. He was spared suffering through congestive heart failure and was energetic and joyful up to the end. He taught me to live each moment fully and with joy. Although he is no longer with me physically, he lives on in my heart. I look forward to meeting him again someday on the Rainbow Bridge!

Dawn Jansen

My Handsome little boy, Me and Lady will truly miss you. I miss your sweet little face and you greeting me when I come to the door or waking me up in the mornings with your licks and smiles. We will miss our water games and all of your quirky little antics. But most of all we will miss all the love and happiness you have brought us. You will always be with me in HEART & SOUL. See you in Heaven.

Your Friend Susan & Lady

You left without warning, the sadness still tugs at our hearts.
We'll never forget your sweet face. Your always in our hearts, until we met again. We love you Jake!

Jill Zeller

You will be missed.

Bev and Tim

My dog's name was Jake. He was a huge Black Lab, 115 lbs. He was 9.5 years old. born in September of 1991. Jake was 100 percent blind from macular degeneration, and suffering from Muscular Dystrophy at the end. He was senile as well. In spite of all that, he was a dog who, no matter what, always had a smile for you and a wag of his tail. He still played with his toys and loved bananas, corn on the cob, ice cream, and of course, steak. Sunday night things were okay. On Monday morning, however, he was unable to stand up. I knew then that he would be gone by the end of the day. I have a great vet who was incredibly patient with me and compassionate.

Jake died peacefully at the Vet's, in my arms, on March 12, 2000. He was privately cremated and I have him next to my bed along with his picture and his collar and tags. I talk to him every night just before I fall asleep. I take comfort in believing that he is now God's own dog and that he can see and is pain-free. He can run and swim and case tennis balls. He can eat all the steak and ice cream he wants and play with all the other pets up there.

There will never be another Jake. He was awesome.

I miss him so much, it hurts.

Betsy

I like to remember our dog Jake as a loyal and loving dog and a big part of our hearts has gone with him.

Donna

Jake was a very unique INDOOR cat....he would never let me rub him, but always looked at me with eyes of "wanting" to be loved and rubbed. He died on Monday from kidney failure and he was not alone....I was able to rub him for first time and it felt good.

I will miss Jake VERY much....his sister Maggie May misses him too.

Libby Brown

I will miss you, my baby, and look forward to the day we meet at the Bridge.
You will always be with me. I love you

David Formichella

Jake had insulinoma and adrenal cancer. He lost most of his hair, and grew very thin. He held on to life, staying strong, till the end, never complaining. He was, and is, my best friend. He joined my family in late 1994 at six weeks of age, and died early 2001 at 6 and a half. Raised in a college dorm, he was very affectionate to all people, very mischievous, and very playful. How many ferrets can say they've never bitten a soul, except for the occasional toe... Losing him I lose a piece of my heart. He will forever be remembered, loved, and cherished. I ask that God keep him close, and healthy until we can be together again, and I promise to keep his memory alive forever in my heart. Bless my friend, for he is loved like no other. I love you, Jake.

Kandie Marsky

Jake, you were always so full of life and affection. I will never forget you, ever. I love you, you big boy dog.

Pamela Varma

Jake was a beautiful golden retriever that loved my husband & myself & our two children. He took care of us & always watched over us. He loved to go swimming, play with his green puck, play & watch his kids, fishing, & just be with his family. He was with us for a little less than nine years since he was a pup 4 weeks old. We all feel such a lose. I feel my heart is breaking. So many things I did on a daily basis involved him. He has only been gone a few short hours & already I miss him deeply. Cancer took him so quickly from us. We had to put him to sleep to stop his pain. He was such a good dog & friend. We all will miss him deeply. Our lives will always be different for having him show us his kindness & love. He was such a smart dog. Jake, you were my first baby, my love, my friend and we all will miss you dearly. Till we meet again - love always, your family.

greatly missed by his mum & dad

Judy Linford

Forever loved.

Lisa Stefanuik

Dear Jakie was with us for eighteen years. He was a dedicated and loving dog. He was the king of the hellraisers in his youth, chewing anything (and I mean anything) and everything (and I mean everything) he could get his mouth on. We loved him with all our hearts and we know he loved us too. After being ill for sometime he went to the big doggie park in the sky to do all the things that he loved and wasn't able to do for a long time. I feel really bad for those squirrels! Good bye out sweet gentle dog, God's speed to heaven and we'll see you later.
Love always your family,
Jay, Donna, Kate and Jimmy

Our mini-schnauzer Jake was a beloved and loyal friend to us and he has joined our 12 year old St. Bernard Nana who went to the Bridge on 12/07/1987 and our 17 1/2 year old Siamese Cat Fudge who went to the Bridge on September 5, 1998. He is missed by not only Rick and Mary-Lou, but his playmate Katie, 8 year old cocker spaniel, and 10 year old cat Puddles rescued from the MSPCA 2 years ago. Please know that we think of you every day Jake and miss you terribly. All our Love, Mom & Dad

Mary-Lou Morin

Jake, We miss you so much after having you as our furbaby for almost 11 years! You were such a beautiful cat, so loving and sweet. We think about you every day!! Your memory will remain in our hearts until we meet again at the rainbow bridge. Love always and forever, Cindy and Murat

Jake was one of God's sweetest creations. He taught us all a lot about giving love.

Elizabeth Kriebel

Jake was a long time friend. We went through a lot together. He missed Chewy so much when we lost him in October. His pain is now gone, but mine is just begun again.

Barry D. Snyder

You will always be loved, you will never leave our hearts. We cannot wait to see you again at the rainbow bridge. Until then; run free.....

Bill, Nancy, Matthew and Alex Hall

One year ago today, you were taken from me. Not a day has gone by that I have thought about you. I still miss you and can't wait to meet you again at the bridge. I will always have a very special place in my heart. You came to me a tiny 3 day old, scared kitten with a terrible heart murmur and 9 months to live. You went on a small 18 month old handsome, loving cat. I miss you waiting for me on the counter every night after work just give me kisses. I miss your cold little feet on a winter night. I love you, baby boy.

James struggled with Cushings disease for over 2 & a half years on meds. His hind legs finally gave out and he could no longer stand up with out great difficulty and pain and needing support. His Doctor came to our home on Saturday, October 13 and James died in my arms, safe in his own back yard. Over the years, James literally saved me in more ways then I can articulate in a few typed words and and I now struggle with my own guilt and asked for his forgiveness on that warm, sunny afternoon because I could not save him. During our 13 years together, James taught me how to maximise the 'play factor' in life & that giving up was never an option. Your unconditional way of loving & accepting me is etched in my heart & mind forever.......I luv you 'sunshine'. K & C (Special thanks to Dr. G)

Kristine & Christopher M

Jamie, I will never forget you. You were the best companion I could ever hope for and you are irreplaceable. I am hoping that you have no discomfort now, and that you will wait for me to get there. I hope that you are chasing seagulls at the beach. I hope that you are rolling happily on your back as you take a break from trotting along our favorite hiking trails and sniffing out squirrels. I'm sure that your days are full of outdoor adventures and there are lots of your favorite treats to munch on. I miss you terribly, Jaim-Jaim, you were so smart and beautiful and had the most independent, funny nature. Your markings made you look puppy-like in the face and you were smiley and happy. Even through taking pills and getting allergy shots all of your life, you were stoic and mellow. I think you knew I was trying to help you. I hope you realized that in the end, too. I wish you love and hugs til I can get there to be with you, my girl. You were the joy of my life.

Kelly Neely

Jamie James, we miss you so much already. You were the best, most loyal, beautiful and giving dog ever. Murphy will not be the same without you. Please meet him at the bridge when his time comes. You never failed to perform your duties even through your pain and stiffness. I am honored to have known, worked with and taken care of you. Be with Joy now and tell her you know me also. She will lead you to the peaceful place you deserve to be. Your forever in my heart. My forever friend always, I LOVE you!!

Jamie was an amazing dog, the most loyal animal I have ever met. Not only was he a pet, but also a family member. May he rest in peace for eternity!

Lori

Jareth,

You were adorable and a real trooper, putting up with us giving you your medicine for your pneumonia.

Please say hello to Drew, Zoe and Lucy for me and tell them that we miss them.

Until we meet again,
Danielle

Today Jasmine my best friend passed away, she fell asleep for the last time in her daddy's arms. She was a wonderful Calico Cat with a big huge attitude, but a bigger heart. I'm so very glad she's happy an out of pain chasing mice in that field able to run and catch all that she wants. I was so very lucky to know her and she will be with me always. Sleep well my dear sweet Jasmine your Daddy loves you so very very much.

Dave

Jazzy Girl-You will always be apart of me and in my thoughts. Please forgive me. I couldn't let you go on and suffer. You will forever be "MAMA'S BABY"
and my "BOOBYHEAD".
I will light my candle in honor of your memory.
I love and miss you.


FOUR FEET IN HEAVEN

Your favorite chair is vacant now,
No eager paws to greet me
No softly padded paws to run, ecstatically to meet me
No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry
Will say its time for feeding
I've put away your bowl
And all the things you won't be needing
But I will miss you little friend
For I could never measure
The happiness you brought to me
The comfort and the pleasure
And since God put you here to share
In earthly joy and sorrow
I'm sure they'll be a place for you
In Heaven's bright tomorrow.

"Author Unknown"

Julie Allison

Jasmine...you have been a special part of our life and will live on forever in our hearts. We love you so much and we miss you more than we ever thought possible. Thank you for loving us so much and we will never forget how you enriched our lives. You may not have been a human, but we loved you just as much...you will always be our little baby...we miss you.

We love you,
Mommy and Daddy

I Saw You Today

I saw you in the soft wind that whispers.
I saw you in the sunbeam streaming in the bay window.
I saw you soaring with the eagle and the hawk overhead.
I saw you dancing with the clouds in the turquoise sky.
I saw you in the sun's last red glow.
I saw you in the luminous snow flakes falling in the bright moonlight.
I saw you in the sacred crimson mountains.
I saw you in the rushing water of the murky river.
I saw you in the twirling, whirling desert dust devil.
I saw you in the blowing, scampering leaves of fall.
I saw you in the gentle crystal raindrops on the window pane.
I saw you in the twining brook singing over obsidian stones.
I saw you in the delicate silken petals of the new born rose.
I saw you in the flicker of the candles golden flame.
I saw you in the iridescent moon peeking over the midnight mountains.
I saw you in the many hued colors of the radiant rainbow.
I saw you in the twinkling stars in the soft velvet dark.
I saw you inside my heart, in the love you left behind.

Lady Tummyrub and the Dookers

Jasmine, you were sassy, feisty and demanding, but I'll treasure every day you spent with me. Your leaving has left me with a hole in my heart I can't seem to fill, but I don't regret for a moment knowing you.
As Garth Brooks sings: "I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance."

Ann Daley

I think about you everyday Jasmine, and I miss you so much. I thank God for bringing you into my life six years ago. You will always be loved and missed.

Sara

Jasmine was gentle, affectionate, and full of unconditional love. Everyone liked her. She lived a full and happy life and died peacefully in my arms. I miss her very much but I believe with all my heart that she is frolicking out there somewhere over that Rainbow Bridge and I am comforted by this thought.

John Logue

Jasmine, There is not a day that passes by that I don't think about you. I have so many happy memories of you and of the times we shared together and thankfully many pictures. You have opened my eyes to simple things in life that I otherwise would have not noticed. I will always love and miss you. You are my angel..... Love Carrie

To our brave, precious and innocent little girl
You will always be in our hearts and thoughts
We love you SO VERY MUCH Jasmine and will love
You more with every passing thought

We are so sad that you were only 7 weeks before you were
taken from us. You were murdered and we hope you can someday forgive Winston. We are so sorry we didn't see the
"signals" of his aggression towards puppies. We anticipated your bringing into this world for so long only to have you taken away from us after two days. We are sorry Jasmine. We have made a beautiful grave site in memory of you to show how much we loved you in those two days.

Mommy and Daddy

Jasmine was a dark brown, smart, adorable, and loving partner to Max. Her nickname of General Woundwort was appropriate for this spunky and tough little gal.
Max, the Bunny-Kids, and I, love you Jasmine.

Hey Jason, Mama is just letting you know the days have been really hard for Dada and me and Carrie /Damien and Chuck. We really miss you and we are so sorry you suffer the way you did, the house is really empty without you. I know you are in God's house and I know you are just as special there like you were here. We buried your body in your spot in the back by the trees and we visit it everyday, remember the flower in the living room the one that use to always get in your way when you tried to get something to drink and I always moved it.
I took it as a sign but this morning I woke up and found that flower on the floor ,I guess it's a way to let me know your alright. We love you so much and Daddy misses his walks with you and he misses you meeting him at the door . JJ one day we will all be together again, so when I get there I'll call your name and I'll be looking for you to come running. I just miss you so much. Love you Jay, Mama Dada Carrie, Damien and Chuck. rest in peace Jason bye for now.

My mam misses you so much, and is taking it hard, she misses saying this "Mammy loves Jason" and you would look at her and lick her in the face as if to say "Good night!". You will always be fondly remembered by the whole Brennan clan who looked/cared after you, especially when I was there to mind you when Mam & Dad would go away on holidays to Spain/Kilkenny. Rest In Peace Jason, you will never be forgotten in Mam's heart...X X X X With Love, Tommie, Mam, Dad, Mairead, Colette and Anne...

Jasper was a special kitty. We called her "psycho" kitty due her trama as a young cat. She was a mellow companion to Shiloh and even though she didn't want you to know it, she wanted to be with us all. Her special place was on the corner of the bed and she liked to knead the top of my head in the middle of the night. Even though she had some rough times she was a cat that Heavenly Father sent to us to care for. He knew we would be the ones who could put up with her moods and still love her. We will all miss her.

Roberta & Michael Oliver

I know how everyone feels. My cat passed away when I was three, I am now eleven. I only had him for three years but he was the most loyal and loving pet. I now have another cat. I love my new cat dearly, but no cat could ever replace Jasper...

...Let them be happy...

*Jasper, I love you and I miss you*

Tamika

Jasper, my yummy little guy, I miss you so much. You left me far too soon. It is almost as if I had dreamt you. But then again, you were to good to be true from the beginning. If It weren't for your little sister Luna, I would surely think you were a dream. You were so beautiful, all silver and stripes with those big green eyes. You were like fresh powder on a snowy day. You stole my heart right away. I loved watching you grow. You were turning into such a tough little guy. I know you loved me, too. You were so good to cuddle and snuggle with me. I loved to scoop you up and kiss your fuzzy belly. You were my guy. I miss you so much Jasper, and I love you. We all do. I will always imagine you climbing tall trees. Heather

Jasper was my best friend and I thought I would just have her for life and I miss her very dearly. But I know that she is in a better place just waiting for me (and Casey). I love you very much.

Frank

To My wonderful boy who could always make me laugh. He was so loving and sensitive. I hope he knows I shall always think of him and miss him terribly.

Jazzy has been gone for 1 year today. My heart still aches for him to come home to me. I miss him so much! I now have 2 kittens (brother and sister, 4-1/2 mos. old) who I love dearly, but can never take Jazzy's place in my life or my heart. I try to be strong and not cry, but when I am alone, I can't help it! I have never lost a "child", but I can compare Jazzy's death to nothing else!! Oh my gosh! I wish it hadn't have happened. He ran into the street and got run over before my very eyes, and all I've wanted since then is to hold him just one more time! Jazzy, Mommy misses you so much! My precious baby boy! Please know that I will never leave you, as you have never left my heart or my soul! Everybody aches for you every day. Granny Mary and Aunt Amy, we all miss you so! I will be with you again someday, but now is not the time. You wait for me, just like you used to wait for me to get home from work...I promise someday I will hold you again!

Melissa Bergman

I love you my big blue boo...I miss you...I am glad you are free from your body..You will always be the big jungle beast...We will see each other again..Look for me buddy.

Nikki Hansen-Paluch

Jaspurr was probably the most unique and special kitten I have ever met despite my having many cats over the years. There was just a depth to her personality I have not seen in a cat before. I am devastated she was only with me for 12 days. She will be forever in my soul.

Tammy

Hey Mr. Muffin Man...you were taken away from us way too soon!
Our hearts ache and we cannot wait to see you healthy and happy and playing with Jordy and Moka at the Rainbow Bridge!
Miss you sooo much, Big Boy

Casey

Dear Java, we miss you so much more than we could have imagined. We don't know how to grieve. There are so many more things we wanted to experience with you. We wanted you to be here when we have children. We wanted you to be here when we get a house with a big back yard for you to run around in. We wanted you to be here to greet us so excitedly when we come home from a hard day. We wanted you to keep teaching Whistler your kind and loving ways. We weren't prepared to have you leave us so suddenly. You touched so many lives and made so many non-dog lovers love you. You were our joy. We miss you terribly. Please wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge. We will be looking for you.
Love,
Mike and Rebekah Russ

When I first saw you, you & Sweetness were standing so close to each other that I could not tell where you ended & she began. You were both so scared & you felt the need to protect her. How valiant you were. You displayed & hissed when I approached, you poor baby. What terrible things happened to you to cause you to be so fearful and untrusting? I was bound & determined to make this transition easier on you. The very next day was going to be stressful; a trip to the vet's office was in store. You were so frightened when I tried to towel you that you lashed out at me. When your well-guided attack found its intended target, I winced inside, but did not want to scare you any more. You wanted so much for me to leave you & Sweetness alone, but I knew I must continue. We needed to make sure you were at least physically okay. You were poked, prodded, clipped, & snipped. You were a real trooper through it all. Once home, you leapt from the carrier to your cage. You dutifully stood watch over your charge & I gave you the space you needed to relax. Slowly, you began to allow me nearer to you. Before long, we were giving each other kisses & nuzzling. So much so, that I believed you were really beginning to enjoy it. How good I felt when you finally stepped up for me and let me hug you. You then allowed Sweetness to come close too. When we came home from Wisconsin that Sunday evening, all was well. I let you out of your cage & you quickly went to Charly's cage. You were excited and running around. I walked away with your dirty dishes & when I returned, there you were...sitting on the grate of your cage, all fluffed up. I knew something was wrong. I looked all around to try & find a clue as to what happened, but there was nothing. I put you back on your perch only to witness your left foot, unable to open & grip, slide time & again from the perch. When Pat was stroking you, you closed your eyes and swayed unsteadily. This was definitely not your behavior. Quickly, we toweled you & you did not put up a fight. You knew something was wrong too & you trusted me to fix things. We rushed you to the emergency vet. They too, knew something was wrong. They wanted to keep you overnight & I was to call before going to bed. I called & there was no new news. They asked that I pick you up in the morning for transport to our regular vet. Over the next several days, your health, & your weight, went up & down like a roller coaster. All the vets were stumped as to what was wrong with you. They tried everything. I visited you again on Thursday night. The vet said you had gained some weight & if you kept it on, you might be able to come home on Saturday. I was excited. Then, they brought me in to the farthest room in the hospital. When I walked in, I saw the sterile environment & the big, white incubator. When you first saw me, you jumped, I'm sorry; I did not mean to scare you. They let me open the incubator up to see you. I did & you were very scared. You would let me pet you for a while, and then you'd bite at me. I know you did not understand why you were taken away from your friend Sweetness & the comfort you were getting used to with us, but you were very, very sick & we needed to help you. Only to be poked & prodded all over again, but with no end in sight. Friday night came & I had to work. At about 6:30 p.m., I got the 911 page to call Pat. I had no idea what to expect, but I refused to even think it had anything to do with you. I was in denial, but I carefully called the number in my pager. I can still hear the spine-tingling words "its Jay-Jay.... he died". I was stunned & couldn't say anything. I wanted to come to see you right away, but everyone left the vet's clinic. Pat & Andy came by to cheer me up, but it was useless. They were as frustrated as I was upset. I called on Saturday morning to ask if I could come see you. It was Jan on the phone; she paused before answering not knowing if I knew. She broke her silence & said, "Have you talked to the doctor?". I said yes, I knew what had happened, I pressed on, still wanting, no needing, to see you before you begin your journey to the rainbow bridge. She went & asked & told me it would be okay. When I arrived, they called Deborah to come get me. I told her why I was there and she stammered a bit, then agreed. She brought me back to the same cold, distant isolation room where I last saw you. The incubator was still there, but it looked different, you were gone & it was cleaned. Your perch, dishes, & feeding syringe were all dutifully placed in the sink, mere remnants of what took place the day before. Deborah walked in; she was carrying you all wrapped up in a towel. She carefully placed you on the stainless steel counter before me. As she turned to walk out, she looked back to say, "I'll give you a few moments, Dr. Roeloffs is here and I will send her in to see you." I looked at you long & hard trying to fight back the tears. It was useless, I let go & they flowed as if someone turned on a faucet. I wanted you back, to be better, & to give me those same loving kisses you used to. I have seen death dozens of times. I knew what to expect & all the signs were there. It crushed me to see you this way, but I wanted to wish you well on your journey. I wanted to tell you that all of us will be together again some day & not to worry about Sweetness, I would care for her as best I could, for you dear Jay-Jay. I will end here, no need to go on. You are at rest & we all miss you terribly. Don't be afraid anymore Jay-Jay, you will feel better now.

Love,

Rich & everyone here at the Refuge...

Jaymie,

You will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts. You were the best, sweetest girl and your parents and brother, Bartyles, miss you very much! Rest in Peace, my sweet baby.

Love, your mommy

Momma's Best Girl and Sweetest Love,

You were my gentle friend and companion,
My "ambassador to the world,"
My joy of the day,
You are much loved and will be missed always --
One day we will be together again,
Wait patiently my friend at the Bridge for Luger and I.

Love, Momma and your brother, Luger

My best friend dearly missed I still can feel your wet kiss and see your bright loving eyes like the first day you came into my life you will live in our memories for eternity.

Joyce

Our dearest, most beloved Jazz:
When you swaggered into the house last December during a chance door opening - unexpected and uninvited - how could we have ever known how you would change our lives in the short but loving time we had you. Glorious and handsome you embodied the attitude and pure definition of cool.

When we found out you were FeIV positive, our hearts sank, knowing our time would be limited. Our anger boiled up at the thought that someone could have abandoned what was obviously one of God's greatest creations, you. But your strength in fighting it inspired us all and our anger dissolved into a determination to love and spoil you beyond belief. Even on that last day, when the vet - who had been saving this family's pets for over 25 years and the only vet we would dare ever trust - said that the tumors were too many and your bone marrow deteriorating, you fought on. I saw it in your eyes as you struggled to hold your head up for us so we could rub you, knowing that it was us who enjoyed it most. I felt you saying, "Mommy, if you want, I still got fight in me. I don't want to hurt you and Daddy. I'll fight on for you." I was tempted, my love, very tempted to go for the transfusion that might have given us another week, but might also be painful to you. But I knew in my heart, and so did Daddy that that was selfish. You, our wise and honorable Yoda, our clicky-toed, curly-browed, fuzzy-eared, squinchy-nosed, fluffy-cheeked proof of heaven deserved peace.

And so, now you have it, our love. Now you have it. - We will see you again one day. Until then, we know you'll be watching us from your cardboard mansion, visiting us when we need you, pushing open the front door with your perfect little paw and pushing against the blankets as you sleep beside us. We love you. Fuh-evuh. --- Corey and Kristy, two of the most privileged people in the world because they knew Jazz

Jazz was a constant companion for 10 years and kept me company through illness. He will be missed

Charles A. Bacon, Sr

Jazz died of cancer December 29,1998. Her personality was very cuddly, active, loving and a great friend. If I could say just one more thing to her, I'd tell her that I love her and that I'll always love her. She was always there for me, and she was my best friend.

Love Always,
Nicole

My heart is broken. My Best Friend is gone. My Dear Jazzy has left me. I shall miss our walks together. I will miss her chasing the squirrels from the bird feeder and into the trees. Jazzy, my vigilant watch dog. Sitting on the sofa, staring out the window for intruders, barking at the slightest movement. I will never forget that bark of yours. I will never forget that brown nose and loving eyes of yours. I love you Jazzy. I know God will take good care of you Jazzy. I can't wait to see you again. My Best Friend. My companion.

Marvin Termin

My Jazzy Girl. What more can I say? You were my Jazzy Girl. Every morning I would wake up to your scratching at the door, and now I wake up to silence. At night you would scratch to get in my room, now I lay awake thinking where is my Jazzy Girl? I miss you so much and I wish you were still here with me. But you were sick and letting you live in pain would hurt me more. I want you to know I love you and no one can ever replace my Jazzy Girl!

Nicole Allison

J.B.
You were my scarecrow,, I will miss you most of all.
Wait for me,, Love Karla

I am still grieving over her loss, but know she is in a better place. I prayed she would go quickly and not suffer. She died in my arms. I had her cremated and have her remains close by.

Joanne Christie

JC, it has been one week today that I lost you so suddenly, (Garage Door) you had just been rubbing against my legs, wrapping that long plume tail of yours around me and your dad. I will do all I can so that this might be prevented from happening to another fur-friend. I love you and miss you so much! I miss all our rituals that we did daily. I miss your morning meow when I first wake up, my rub and morning kiss to you. You were so special! You were there when I had no one! You were my baby, my life and my world. We always said you were half dog because of your wonderful personality and your ways. I miss our cuddle time, you getting comfy on me, nudging your head and shoulders to get yourself just right against my body, laying your head on my tummy. I miss rubbing your head, ears and neck as you would then suck your toes and purr so loudly and contently, until you slept. And if I had to get up, I would say "stay" and you would. I miss our games we played, your licks (kisses), your greetings, your soft silky hair, there is so much that I miss it would take 2 pages to write. One day I will, They way you left us is so hard for me. You were taken way to soon, I thought I would have you for a long, long time. I love and miss you so much, BeBe!!!

J.C. was our "Little Guy" who was only in our lives for a short while, however he brought us joy and love. We'll miss the late night wakeup visits for drink-drinks, and the 2-cat nights during the cool winter nights. His moma Winnie, also known as "Sweety", will miss giving him kiss-kisses and snuggling. We love you "Little Guy". J.C. stood for John's Cat. I am John and I am a 52 year old man who loved this little guy way too much in his short life. J.C. stood for youth, vigor, wonderment and all of the things one wants to hang on to as we get older. His passing, so young, brings home the reality that we don't know how long any of us have to live life. For some, the game is over before it starts. My only comfort now is knowing that he had a quality life in spite of its brevity. His suffering days were few, and now they have ended - goodbye "Little Guy".

John & Tina Jeffers

I loved and adored my little shitzu JD.he passed on July 17 2001 from unknown reasons. i raised him from a puppy and it was very hard to lose him. i had him buried here in my town in a pet cemetery where I know he is with god and all of his friends and family who loved him dearly.

Shannon Cory

JD was a special little piggy gave me alot of laughs and fun, I will miss her dearly. RIP and I love you

Ronda Sternad

My beloved dog just passed away yesterday. He was a wonderful dog, my faithful and loyal friend. I will miss him forever.

Ruth

Jeb was such a loving dog whose feelings got hurt so easy. He loved to cuddle (95 lbs. worth) and would howl "to beat the band" when I played my fife (I am a Civil War re-enactor.) He sat in our recliner more than we did. He ran like a trotting horse, so effortlessly and beautiful. His unexpected passing still has our whole family grieving. His nickname was "Sweet Pea." We know that he and Beau are together until the day our family is reunited forever!!!

Chris and Debbie Buckalew

Jeb, you were such a special little guy. You made me laugh, I loved your zest for life. I miss that intelligent look, like you knew exactly what I was saying. I loved you so much and miss you terribly. Surely there are dogs in heaven and we will meet again my friend. Who's a boo boo?

Wanda Parrish

A wonderful loving animal that made our lives a little brighter.
You will be missed Jed Dog! You will always be my Pup Dog.

Kathy

Our beautiful cat Jedi was more like a human. We miss him dearly. Here is a poem I wrote--Our Jedi--Small and afraid the day he came, His eyes said, "Take me in and give me a name". His fur is white, his eyes are green, his kind loving nature was yet to be seen. His kisses and hugs are what he is known for best, as for other kitties, he's not like the rest. "Give me a lap, some place to cuddle, and when you sleep, I promise I'll snuggle." "Talking" to you is what I do most, so talk to me often whenever I'm close." As the years went on, with your warm tender love, we became so close, like a tight fitted glove. And now it's time to put you at rest, the pain you have has put me to test. Jesus said He is ready, He is calling your name, "Give him your love, God, I know he will do the same."

I love and miss you buddy! Mom

From Feral Cat to the Cover of Cat Fancy, to CFA's 8th Best Household Pet for 2000-2001, Jeepers was a true angel cat. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Tim & Mary Heidel

I Love You!

Barb Turner

You will live in our hearts forever. We love you so much.

Harriet and Bruce

Jeffrey was kind and loved his family. He loved frisbee. In the Winter, he would dive into the snow, in his yard, and pull up a buried toy. He was very protective and cared for his 'mom' when she was sick. He loved to take his 'dad' on walks. He is missed terribly. Bye Jeffrey!

Sandra and Joe Krahn

Jelly, you have forever touched my heart. I love and miss you terribly. I know you're in God's hands now and that gives me comfort.

Jenny

Jelly was our beautiful calico who loved everyone and even followed us around the house to give us her love and attention. We miss her terribly, as does her sister Binky, also a calico.

Helen Waldorf

My beautiful little kitty that I loved so very much was put to rest today. I adopted her several years ago. A friend found her shivering, wet and very scared off side of a road. She took her home and cleaned her up. Unable to care for her permanently she brought her to work with her to see if someone would adopt her. I fell in love with her immediately. She was a very small persian with mostly long white hair and peach and grey dots. Her beautiful gold eyes were just begging me to take her home with me. She reached up to me with her front paws. She was the most loving cat I'd ever seen. Jennie was never very healthy but I never gave up on her. The vet said she looks as though she had a hard life. I was determined to change that. I loved her like I've never loved anyone before. Today she lost her battle to live. I'll never know the reason, the vets couldn't determine the cause. I pray it was old age. I never knew how old she was or who her former mommy or daddy was or what kind of life she had before me. She brought me so much happiness. Now all I feel is a tremendous amount of pain. She will always be in my heart.

Paula McCulloch

It's hard to realize that our little girl is gone. We still call her name when we call in our other kids, we still reach for her in the night check her spot on our bed, we still pull three snacks out of the goodie box but now only need 2 and we still look for her little face in the window when we come home at night.
Jennifer will always always live on in our hearts and souls.

Dennis & Donna

Jennifer was a beautiful and extremely smart poodle. She was always there for me when I needed her. Today I need her more then ever. I wait for the day that I will see her again in Heaven.

Deb McNally

Dear Sweet Jenny,
Few people could understand how a guinea pig could impact a family as much as you did. Your gentle personality and curious nature made it so easy to love you. You truly were a very special part of our family. We'll see you, and your cagemate Alexandra, who passed away just 5 days after you, at the rainbow bridge. At least you'll have each other until we can get there. We miss you, little one. You will remain in our hearts forever.

Sandra, Denis, Ryan and Jaime

Jenny was & is my sole mate. She was my best friend since the day she came into my life. I love her & always will. I miss her dearly but know that one day we will meet again and I know she will be waiting there for me. Jenny has become an angel to watch over our family. We can feel her presence with us in all we do. God Bless you Jenny.

How I miss you skookey bear. I will never forget your affection, your purring and your love for me every night arriving home from work. I will never forget the gentle brush of your face against mine the last night we were together. As if you were saying goodbye.

I will miss you, my baby, you will never leave me. I will see you at the bridge some day.

I love you, Jenny.

Mike

My budy and friend for 18 years. Jer was a vessel of unconditional love. The only being for whom I held no resentment and who held none against me. He was a gift, a gift I will always treasure. He is still in the house. I saw his spirit on the stairs. I hope his spirit never leaves me. He was a true friend.

Michael Shuter

All who have felt an animals love are touched by sorrow at its passing. As we shared in Jera's life, we now share in your sorrow.

Steve & Laura Rush

We were so blessed to be Jeremiah's mommy and daddy. He gave us nothing but total joy and unconditional love. We love him so much, and he will always remain in our hearts. Our baby has gone to God. We look forward to the day when we see those sweet, floppy Basset ears blowing in the wind as he runs to welcome us home in heaven.

My dear, sweet Jeremy passed away suddenly this morning, at age 1 1/2. It is a huge shock to my son and I. He was the most loving and affectionate cats I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was one of those few cats you could pick up and hold in your arms anytime and he would love it and purr like crazy. He was affectionate with my other cats and dogs, and I would often find him cuddling up to another cat, begging them to lick him on the head, which they would usually oblige. I am trying hard to remember the good times as I feel haunted by his cries of distress, heavy breathing, and the awful trip to the vet. We don't yet know what happened, possibly a blood clot to the brain. I am honored to have had such a beautiful spirit in my life for the 1 year and 8 months he was on this earth. May your spirit live on, Jeremy. I will miss your soft fur, perfect pink nose, and sweet disposition. I love you and we will meet again someday.

Christy

Jerry was a very special cat to us. He acted like a human therefore he was treated like one. On Friday 30/03/2001 it was to be his 3rd Birthday. We were planning to celebrate with a cat food cake for him but at 5:30pm we went to look for him after not seeing him all day and found that he had passed on. He was in our garden near our front door. We don't know why he died but no reason will make it easier on us. Jerry was such a spirited cat he opened doors, drank out of the bath tub, told you what he wanted and when he wanted it, but best of all he could Dance!!. I will never forget our silly Dances and will always see jerry shakin' that a** (that was our favourite song to dance to). I will Always love him like he was my child!!!!

The Hills

My beloved "baby Jerry", you will never disappear from my memories nor from my heart, for I will love you forever. Remember this while you wait for me, for I will be with you soon.

Fern

We all loved Jerry so much. He will be missed very much by all who knew him.

Tamatha Poalucci

My beautiful little Jer-Bear, I will miss you so much. You were my favorite baby out of five (but don't tell your siblings). I can't believe you will no longer purr in my ear or cuddle next to me at night. I cannot believe how sad I am without you. I don't know why God chose you to go first, all I can say is that I'm sorry you're gone. I have never had a cat like you in my entire life and will probably never have another. You will always be in my heart and mind forever. Love, Mommy

Jerry (Jer-Bear) was my special little boy. I loved him so much (and still do!) I will miss him greatly. He brought such a joy to my life. I hope he is somewhere safe and happy.

Laura Stroup

Jerry was very special to me. I loved him like my own son. I will miss him very much. I can't even begin to express the pain I feel today. I hope he's somewhere in a place far better than this world. I hope I meet up with him again someday. I love you Jerry!

Laura Stroup

May his soul go to heaven
as I have his life taken.
My friend of 12 years,
companion by my side at night.
You've grown old and ill as will I.
I hold you today for the last time,
stroke your tear stained fur
and wonder why we must die.
I love you dearly, my good friend Jess,
but your eyes can hardly see me anymore
and your ears have gone deaf.
Dying in your sleep is for the lucky ones.
Your suffering is just too much to bear.
Cry out for the last time, my dear friend Jess.
All will be peaceful soon in the green fields of cat heaven.
I love you in death as in life.

Fred F. Klein

Jesse was adopted because her 'sister' had hip dysplasia and it was not know if Maddie would survive her operations. Maddie lived and so Maddie and Jesse grew up in each others company. Jesse was a beautiful blonde Retriever, not as tall as most, with soulful, almond shaped eyes and a pink nose - and full of love.
My final visit with Jesse was on Thanksgiving day 2001, when some of use decided to take the after dinner walk. My sister and her husband, my parents, my sister-in-law and my niece and I - who suddenly felt like the 'odd man out'. And so I called to Jesse and my faithful walking partner came running. And the crowd questioned if I was walking her or if she was walking me. I'm content to have this as my final memory of Jesse - of her being strong and being my companion. Love & kisses to T, M and B, and to Maddie. Love Aunt Laura

I miss my little sweetheart that I was so dearly close to. Jesse was run over by a car in our driveway because he was chasing it. I found him and held him for awhile to say goodbye with his blood all over me. The funny part is, is that I never thought twice about the blood. He was like one of my children and I would do it again. We have now added a new friend to our family which has helped a great deal with the healing. He is also a Toy Poodle and seems to carry a lot of the same characteristics as Jesse. That is a comfort. I know Jesse would want us to love this little guy just as much as we did him and we are learning to love him more and more each day! God Bless my pet that is gone and the new one we have.

Karen

Jesse- you were a very loving and friendly companion. We all miss you so much. I miss hearing you around the house and riding in the car. Everyone here in town misses you too. I am so sorry that you were hit by the car- I know you were just being friendly and wanted to meet that dog on the sidewalk. Things are just not the same without you here.
We miss you and love you very much.

Melissa Teneyck

Koti on niin tyhjä ilman meidän töpsyhäntä Jehveä. Toivottavasti nyt kaikki kivut ovat poissa ja joku päivä tulet meitä vastaan niin kuin aina ennenkin täällä kotona. Niin yllättäen lähdit, että viimeiset hyvästit jäivät antamatta ja viimeiset silitykset ja halaukset tekemättä.
Muistoissa olet luonamme päivästä toiseen, vieläkin voi kuulla liikkeesi täällä. Suunnattomasti sinua ikävöiden Jesse-poika. Onhan sinun nyt hyvä olla?! Olethan taas kerran luonamme, jotta saamme silittää kiiltävää turkkiasi ja piilottaa lelua kuten aina ennenkin.

Jenni Paavilainen

Dear "Wolfy":

We miss you so much!! We think and talk about you EVERYDAY!! You were such a funny fella (AND VERY HANDSOME TOO!)!! We all miss you and want you to know we're thinking of you "Strawberry Nose"!

Love,
Pop-Pop, Momma, Natasha, Bily & Luke too!!

A loving companion and dear friend, always our angel!

Our Best Friend

Deb & Dave

Jesse Jane was my best friend. She was always there when I needed her . She was a rescue from the pound 12years ago March 2001. She was a beautiful black Akita/Shepard mix. Two weeks ago I took my Jesse to the vet because she wasn't eating and seemed a little slower than usual. Know one new what was to come of this visit! Everything changed when I was told she had cancer that metastasis to her lungs.....the original origin unknown. I was told she had 4-6 wks. On Wed. Oct. 17,2001 Jesse Jane crossed the bridge. I had but only two weeks left with her!! She passed quietly and peacefully at home, and am happy to say she was not alone in her passing. I truely believe no other can ever take her place. She looked at me and always new that rescuing her that day saved her from an unknown fate but saved me from a life of loneliness. She will be missed every passing minute but I know she is now with her friends Rover and Picasso and they are once again young and healthy.

Deborah Butterfass

To our little Jessi:

You were such a sweet, gentle and loving little dog. We will always remember your little stubby wagging tail, the playful times, the cuddling times. You were taken from us so suddenly. We will love and miss you forever. We will meet you again someday..on the Rainbow Bridge.

Dave, Traci & Brennan O'Connell

Her name was Jessica Hutson and she was a little puppy when she arrived in a box on Christmas 1985. She jumped out of the box and immediately attacked my toes! Oh what joy! She kept us in stitches laughing at her antics! And two years later when her brother brought a kitty cat to the family named J.R., she loved to play with him! They loved each other. She spent hours attacking his switching tail and when he died suddenly she looked for him for days.

Due to tumors, she had to be given rest. She will always be in our hearts and she will always be missed. I know that God must prepare a place for a little fur-baby that only brought joy and love. She never knew any anger towards her family. She would pout a bit, but soon forgot what she was mad about with a quick scratching on her back.

Jessica will be missed by her traveling partner, her daddy, Phil. He was with her at the end and has grieved and grieved. She will be missed by both of us. That little dog was loved! May she rest in peace and spend her days blissfully chasing all the cars and trucks she wishes (she was never allowed to do that!).

Jessica, we will always miss you!
Mommy and Daddy
Phil and Sandi Hutson

We love you and miss you. No more pain...rest well dear little girl.

Holly Nishimitsu

Jessica was a sweet, gentle cat who loved to purr and sit in my lap or be held like a baby with her head on my shoulder. She also loved to lie in the sun. She suffered from kidney disease and I treated her with fluids for 2 3/4 years. She is greatly missed.

Nancy Jassak

Goodbye to our dear little Jessie, Mom Poppy gave birth to you in our front room and your presence to us was amazing. Lewis is missing you so much, and my little angel kitten who died in such a tragic way, you will be in heaven forever.

Love u lots little Jessie xx

Sarah and Lewis Barber

I am so sorry Jessie--I didn't mean to step on you. I still see that moment, and the few hours we had left together, in my mind. It has been almost a year and a half, and I can't get over the guilt. It was an accident, but such a stupid one on my part. Please please forgive me. I remember your beautiful jet-black fur, soft pink ears and button nose. I will never be the same. My dearest wish is to reunite with you and all the other pets I have lost over the years. I light a candle and incense every night for you and the others; I hope you notice and feel my love...

Doren Beard

Sweet Jessie, We love you and miss you so much. You could never be replaced. We think of you each and every day. You were the best friend and pet we could have ever hoped to have in our lives. It is very hard being without you Jessie. We hope you are at peace. Thank you for spending your life with us and giving us all the love you did.

Love you always, Karen, Kayla, and Lesley

A devoted heart. Jessie, you will be missed.

Valerie

A true friend who went with me everywhere and asked for little in return.

Wayne E. Schmidt

To my best friend, my "little girl", I will remember you always and there will always be a special place in my heart for you. Sleep softly, some day we will be together again.

My Jessie will be missed more than words can say, but I am so grateful that I was able to spend one last day with her, celebrating her life and all the love and friendship she gave me. I would not be where I am today if it were not for the faithful and unconditional love and friendship of my loving Jessie.

Brenda Spencer

My memories of "us" will live as long as I do, "My Darling Girl"

Rose

To the best "baby" who is sadly missed by his family (mom - Jan, dad - Rod, and his buddy - Brian).

We will always love you.

Jessica Joy Blacksash McCaughrean. You were the best dog any girl could ever wish for. I love you forever! You were funny, kind and full of life. That is how you remain in my heart and in the hearts of so many others. I hope that you will meet many new friends over the Rainbow Bridge. Jessie- I'll miss you!

Ailsa

I will never forget her.

Michelle Dorsch

Our Westie Jessie passed away on Saturday, 12th May 2001. She was 11 years old. Jessie was the center of our family we bought her in England when she was a puppy and brought her to Switzerland. She was a beautiful and funny Westie. We're all devastated by her sudden death. Within two days she deteriorated and had hardly any blood left in the end (we asked for a post mortem to help us cope with her loss and find out what happened)no vet could help. We don't know what to do our lives are just empty. She was very spoilt and used to sleep in our beds and always follow us around the house whenever we ate something we always used to give her a bit of our biscuit or whatever we ate - now there is no one to beg for it - its just so quiet and empty. The only thing that helps us cope with her sudden loss is that she was never in pain and just fell asleep in peace and we didn't have to make the decision to put her to sleep. It was the Lords decision and we have to accept it. Unfortunately my sister went to England a month ago, just for three months - before she left she said to Jessie " Please don't die away before I come back my little darling". As if she suspected. Jessie adored my sister and missed her very much when she left for England. Unfortunately she never knew that my sister would come back soon.

Jessie we will never forget you and you will always be in our hearts for ever and ever. I am crying whilst writing this message but it helps me a lot with my grieving.

Brigitte Hug

You are missed, Jess-a-roos

Bob

Jessie we miss you and love you so very much. Putting you to sleep is the hardest thing we have ever had to do. But, I know now you can run, jump, and play like you use to do. You mean the world to us and no one will ever take your place. I now know you are our guardian angel and will watch over us. I feel you by me every step I take and know that you will always be there. Please understand we did what was best for you and that was to let you rest in peace. Jessie you really are our world and please never forget that. Your other pooch buddy Tipper misses you so much to Jessie. He has no one to pick on now :) I love you Jessie VERY VERY VERY MUCH and everyone else loved you just as much to :) We will meet again someday Jess and until then please help me through everyday.

Dan, Molly, and Tipper

Just Jess

You came to me more than ten years ago such an awkward little mess,
I couldn't figure what to call you so I settled for just Jess.
I didn't think I wanted you but you put me to the test,
I couldn't believe you stole my heart this little one named Jess.
It didn't take me long to realize that you were just the best,
you and I became inseparable just me and my boy Jess.
The years went by s quickly we'd barely time to nest
then one morning I awoke and noticed your age was at it's crest.
We slowed down our romping and was content to lounge and rest
as long as we were together we were still so very blessed.
Then one day the doctor came and said "I think it's best",
how my soul screamed out in agony, my heart in great distress.
I begged and pleaded - dear Lord I'm so defeated, you can't take Jess from thee
he's not done one thing wrong - unless it's a crime for loving me.
How do we get through this, this is not a simple test.
I held your head in my lap as the doctor did the rest.
I caressed your face so tenderly until you drew your last breath,
my hearts only half here now yet it still beats within my chest.
Now my blue eyed boy is gone and I really must confess
that I will never have another love like my dearest Jess.
I laid you under the apple tree but I know that's not your address
you've gone beyond this earthly realm without me my dear Jess.
I received no cards or flowers, human friends I've not been blessed
but that don't matter much to me cuz' with you I've had the best.
Dear God above just say yes and open your heavenly doors for your next guest
he's not a shepherd, a profit he ain't
he's just my Jess a four legged saint.
One last word before I close - you know you'll be sorely missed,
did you fear because your not near that I'd love you any less?
Soon I'll grow old as this story's told and I'll once again hold you to my breast,
please wait for me near the rainbows glee because I still need you my just Jess.

I love you, mom

Monday November 26, 2001 at 5:pm I sent my beloved Jessiebell to God with the help of the Vet. I couldn't stand to see her spirit breaking or in any more pain. She loved everyone and everything while she was here as I'm sure she does on the other side. I'll never forget you my "Little Girl" and will be looking for you when I am done with my journey here. Go to God my little angel and have fun till I get there. Like I ever needed to tell you to have fun. With MUCH LOVE, Your Boy Joey .

I remember well the day you picked me. A small puppy with the eyes of an old soul. You came and sat on my lap and looked at me with those eyes. You gave so much love, brought so much comfort and joy to my life. You watched over us for all your days on earth. I know your watching over us now with your new wings. I will never forget you. forever you will be in my thoughts and my heart. Love knows no boundaries, for love is eternal.
All those who knew and loved you, we will miss you.
One last hug held so dear thank you Jessy.

Candy

Jessy was like a second mom to my one son. My son would be very angry at me and Jessy would stay with him until he calmed down. When she didn't like what I might have done, she wouldn't say anything, but just give me a look like a disapproving mother.

Melinda

I will miss you forever, my Jet. You were part of my life for 14 years, 4 months and 23 days. You were always there when I needed you and I was there when you needed me. It was love at first sight when I saw you at the Animal Rescue League. I knew we were meant to be together and we were together even at the end. You were always a very brave cat, never afraid of anything. You loved the warm sunshine, catnip, milk and cheese. I miss you jumping up on the bed at night and pulling my hair when it was time to get up in the morning. I miss your smell, your purr, your meow, I miss holding you, dancing with you, brushing you. I hope you are warm and lying on a soft bed. Bleu and I will love you forever, my Jet. We will be together again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Non,

No one will ever replace you, and you'll always be with me. I'll visit you every day, no matter what.

Love,
Lon

My dear sweet Jewellsie-puppy, I will miss you so. You were so much more than a pet, you were my friend and it's hard to let you go. You were a wonderful dog, always there with unconditional love. You loved everyone and everyone loved you (even those who didn't like dogs). You were a special part of the family and we will all miss you so much. I will miss you the most, my sweet Jewells, you were a blessing in my life...always there to comfort me and love me. I will love and remember you forever until we see each other again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Linda Pouliot

To our best friend, Jewelsie, we will miss you dearly. But we will always remember and love you with all our hearts. We had so much fun together but now you must rest in a beautiful place that one day we will all be reunited together. We love and miss you!
Mommy, Daddy, Cheyanna & Sierra

Robert,
Joyce & I are very sad to hear that Jezebel has left our world. Jezebel had a wonderful life with you and now has her playmate Sadie by her side. Joyce & I want you to know that you are in our thoughts & 11/25/01 we will light a special candle in memory of Jezebel.

Kind regards,
Marc & Joyce

Jezzie chose me as her "Mom" when she was only 3 weeks old. She was so very special to me and to all who knew her. Two months ago she was diagnosed with cancer. The Vet said it was a very aggressive, fast moving kind, and let me know that our time together would be short. Jezebel hung in there without a whimper or complaint until I was ready to let go. Last Monday, when her hind legs gave out on her, I knew it was time to say good bye. Her Vet came to the house and he helped her cross the bridge, surrounded by those she loved and who loved her. I thank Jezzie for the almost 13 years we had together and altho I grieve so deeply now, I know she is at peace.

Maureen Schorr

To my boo, my best friend, I miss you terribly.

Love Tricia

Jezebel you were a good dog, Hannah and I will miss you. You left a hole in your mommies heart, I no you didn't mean to but she misses you a whole lot so do we. I hope you are there with Daisy running and playing free try not to fight alot and give Daisy a big dino kiss for me..Love you And miss you.. Aunt Cathy & Hannah

Jezebellie- You were the best, most gentle, big hairy bear girl ever...and I miss you so much. I know I did the best I could for you and I am sorry if you suffered in any way. You'll never be forgotten, you'll be part of my life forever and ever. I'll always remember the day I picked you out of that puppy pile, how cute you were and how beautiful you grew up to be. I always knew you couldn't stay with me forever, but I never stopped wishing that you would. I think of you every day with love as strong as it ever was. I know I'll see you again when I cross the veil. When I do, I know that you will be healthy and covered with tuffty fur again- your hips will be healed and there will be all the water that a swim-girl loves, as well as potatoes from my garden to dig and eat. Be well and happy until I am with you again. Until then, you can play with the "PooK", and do what you always did best, lay down and watch out over me. I feel you with me all the time and I send you all my love.

Tammara Rosenleaf

Jezebel, I loved you so much. You were my best friend and my family I miss you so much. I hope to seE you in heaven. May God take care of you.

Michael A. Pintavalle

Jezza Boy. You survived being run over, a house fire, being attacked by two dogs, and 18 years of my zany existence. You're at The Rainbow Bridge now, and I promise, I'll find you. Say hi to The Badger and Aloyisius for me, and make sure you leave some food for the other cats. I love you, my friend, rest in peace. Mum

Avalon Sperring

Jickey,
You were a gift. I had always wanted a cat, but was never allowed one. You slept on my pillow, buried in my hair, almost every night for 15 years. You have given me so much joy and happiness, I am going to miss you so much. You were the best friend I've ever had. I am 35 years old, and losing you makes me feel as helpless as a baby. You are such a part of my life, a piece of my heart has gone to be with you.
I love you, Baby. I'll see you again someday at the Rainbow Bridge and we will cross over to Heaven together.
Forever,
Mommy

To Our Jill-Jill, We love you so much and we thank you for all the love you gave us. You will not be forgotten. Love Mom and Dad, Tim - The Humans Jack, Taz, Sharkie, Bootz, DaisyLou - Ferret Siblings

Jilly (our baby bean) and I had the chance to celebrate the twelfth anniversary of our lives together on April 12th this year. After a brave battle with cancer, she has joined her brother Pokey who passed on to the Rainbow Bridge on February 15th, 2001. Gumby and I (the remaining members of our little pack) mourn the passing of our companions but celebrate the lives that we shared with them. We send them both our love and know that they are waiting patiently for us to join them - someday. Until then, we know that they will be watching over us.

Kathleen

Dear Jimmy, your little star is still shining so brightly. We miss you Jimmy but your forever in our hearts. Sleep soundly baby.

Caroline Smith

Jingle has gone to be with Tom, Kate, Bear, Roxie, Luna, Priss, Hound Dog, Hiss the Baby Cat, and all her other friends. She was so weak the past three weeks while we did tests to see what was wrong. Her liver was completely cancerous so Dr. Felix put her to sleep while I held her this morning. She's a brave girl, and I miss her terribly.

Jeane

JINGLES, You are so missed words cannot describe this ache in my heart. I know that your little heart was hurting too and now you are in a better place without pain. You were my savior more than once in your short life. Thank you for making my life complete. I will always love you.

Pam

Jingles was a member of our family for nearly two decades, and we will always treasure the time we shared with him. We know that he is in a better place now, gracefully running through open fields with the wind at his back. Our fond memories will keep him alive in our hearts.

Susan, Jay, and Jason

Faithful, loving companion to my mother who left this plane in August...I think Jingles wanted to be with his mom or she needed him and he would never have disappointed her. He was a light in MY life for the last 3 months while I had him in my home but he'd always been my buddy when I visited mom which, was twice weekly for the last 4-1/2 years. He had actual tears when she passed and visibly grieved for days after her death. His big heart, loving, playful ways and presence will be sorely missed. He and mom are free of their constricted bodies and playing together at Rainbow Bridge. Go with God, Jingles...I love you.

Joan Malis

Angel we miss you very much. We will love you forever. We hope you are enjoying your time in heaven while you wait for us. We will be there when our time comes.

Please remember baby...We miss and love you so much. Not a day goes by that we don't cry for you.

P.S. Timber misses you very much too. He sniffs your kennel every time we take him out to go potty. He looks around for you as if you are still there. I explained that you are in heaven, but he still checks every time we go out.

We will love you forever,
Love Always,
Jamey and Julie S.

I have had this horse all of my life. He was a great show horse, but most importantly he was my greatest and dearest friend. He was always there if I needed a shoulder (or mane) to cry on, and always listened intently through the long miles of trail riding. On the last day of January he fell and broke his hip, then was euthinized a few days later. I cry over him every day. Everyone who knew him knows how special he was.

Tiffany Magnett

We will always remember and love you. Thank you for your years of joy and happiness.

love always...

your companions

If I could have one life time wish
One dream that could come true
I'd pray to God with all my heart
For yesterday and you.
A thousand words could
not bring you back
I know
Because I've tried.
Neither could a thousands tears
I know
Because I've cried.
You left behind my broken heart
And memories too.
But I never wanted memories.
I only wanted you.
I have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain, not because I did not love you, but because I loved you too much to force you to stay.

Sharon Rae Nischwitz

To my dearest friends I love and miss you both with all my heart, for you honesty, love, and friendship you gave unconditionally, you both taught me so much, I hope one day I can repay your trust in me. God bless you both and may we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.. sleep tight my friends my you both be young and healthy again... all my love always... j

Jodi is sadly missed, she was a very special girl to us. Jodi was more than a dog she was our best friend. We had rescued her 7 years ago from a dog rescue service and believe us it was a rescue. She had not been taken care of at all and came to us with many medical problems. We are so happy that we saved her from a not so good life and gave her the best life we could, as well as she did to us. We are very lonely without her but also know that she is no longer suffering and someday we will meet her again. Goodbye for now Jodi, we love and miss you.
Harry, Caryl and Bosco

Bear boy you were my heart, my soul, my best friend I miss you tremendously.

Love Momma

We miss you so terribly, you were so demanding and loveable at the same time. The house is so quiet now without you. You were the sweetest, most loveable, best little doggie in the whole world; but I know we'll see you again. I know you're with Dad now, playing ball and running around like a lunatic. One day the whole family will be together again and we'll never be apart. So Thank you for bringing such joy in our lives and for staying with us as long as you possibly could.
We love you.

Elaine Yoko

To Joe Joe my friend. You followed me wherever I went. You kept a close eye on me and I will never forget that. You always showed me your pretty butt and Dad and I would grab your tail and tell you how much of a pretty boy you were.
We will miss you and someday we will meet at the rainbow bridge. Pretty soon Fred will be with you. So, watch over her for us and we will come to get both of you when our time comes. We love you Ju Ju bean. Mom and Dad.

A beloved family member who filled the house with energy and joy everyday. Loyal and giving, sweet-natured and soft-hearted. Even 12 years together seemed so short. The void left in our hearts will never be filled. Be at peace dear Joe. We love you.

Terri McPhee

You were the most special of my friends, found wandering, injured and unloved. You saved our Maurice from pining away after the death of his buddy Holling, and were Maurice's friend until he too passed away last summer. When I first saw you at the greyhound rescue office YOU chose ME, running to me and hiding your head under my arm while shaking with fear. Two and a half years later the last thing you did before you were taken from me was hide your head under my arm one last time as I caressed your ears, kissed you and told you how much I loved you. Although we knew you were ill your death was sudden, though a blessing in disguise as you didn't have to suffer.
Thank you, my sweet Joely, for your love, your kindness and patience. You were sent by God, and with him I know you're waiting until I come to meet you once more.

Barbara

Joe was a wonderful little guy and will be greatly missed.

Karen

Joey,

You were my baby, I loved you so much. Now you're my angel and I think about you all the time. You'll always be in my mind and in my heart. No other bird will ever take your place. We miss you.

Joey, we love you and will miss you forever. We are so sorry you had to suffer, but you should be at peace now and having fun. There will never be another dog like you - you will never be matched-you will always be our baby boy. Mommy, Daddy & Grandma

We will miss you - our special boy Joey. You gave us years of happiness and a sense of fun.

Margaret and Ken

To my baby Joey,
My best friend in all the world I am so sorry your life had to be cut so short!!! I will never forget your beautiful silver velvet fur, my cuddly kitty who always had a purr waiting I will never forget the day you came into my life Only 6 weeks old You made me cry so hard because you were so little and helpless But then you grew into a fine handsome beautiful cat A friend who will be remembered forever Wait for me at the bridge okay, I will as soon as I can For all my tears and love Goodbye Love always

Joyce

Dear Joey,
Thank you for 11 years of wonderful companionship and for loving my children and caring for them. Thank you for keeping Susie company while we worked I know she will miss you deeply.
You were a beautiful dog and a great part of our family. I will miss you deeply as you were my constant shadow. I am looking behind me for you and I know you are still there. I will try to remember all of the wonderful things about and not be sad that you are gone but my heart feels very sad right now. I am glad you did not have to suffer very long.
We all love and miss you Joey. Thanks again for all of your love!:)

Cherie O'Keefe

Joey died on Friday. He had battled lymphoma for 15 months a full 12 months longer than the vets predicted. He was special to each of us in his own special way. To Maggie our other dog, he was the pal the brother the constant partner, the leader who would bark for both of them when they wanted in. To daughter he was a special softball fan coming to her games and cheering her on. To mom he was a special companion in the kitchen or around the house. To dad he was his running buddy, running through the neighborhood or through the park, chasing deer or squirrels pushing each other to go farther. To son he was the most special, he was best friend and confidant, he was protector during the dark nights, he was a sense of pride and strength and humor, he was always there he grew up with son. Son held him close when we first got him and named him Joey that first day. Son held him close his last time to the vets on Friday. And son held him close everyday in between.

Joey: Dearest friend, sincerest supporter, greatest playmate, intrepid boy, sweetest cuddler. How can so many things have been wrapped up in a small black, white and brown package? You couldn't have known you gave so much; it just came naturally to you.

You are loved forever, our dearest darling Joey. Mommy, Daddy, John and Mary Kate

Oh Joey,

How heavy my heart is with out you here. Natalie misses you, as much as I do, if not more. You bonded with her, or rather she bonded with you. There has been so much quilt, anger and pain in your loss.

How could your heart give out at the vets office, when we all had so much hope for you? When you were getting the treatment you needed? How could your little heart just give out? It's not fair my little Joey bunny. It's not fair.

I wish I had seen the signs earlier. I should have caught the signs of you not being so eager with your food, and known something was up. I waited till you weren't eating, and painful from the blockage. You were eating, Joey, you were. Until that night.

And that was it. That's where it ends. You made it through the night Joey, you did. Why couldn't your body hang on just a little longer? I didn't expect the phone call. I didn't want to hear it.

I'm sorry little guy. Its just so sad that you are not here with me. The pain eats at me. And poor Natalie, she is lost with out you. I don't know about another bunny just yet.

I hope that you find Bugsy and Gussie. I believe they both will be happy to see you again. You are not alone. Play lots! Do lots of binkies! Eat (please eat) a lot of hay! Lighten up on the fruits! Lay in the sun oh how much you enjoyed this!

I will miss you my little one. I will. Please watch over your Natalie, as she still needs you, and when the time is right, send us another bunny to love. And do watch over the other 2 bunnies. I love you my dear. Thank you for the 2 1/2 years. I hope I served you well. And took from you the memories of metal cages and cold lonely nights. I know you never came around to people, or myself, and that was ok! I loved you just the same! I'll going on loving you until the end of time.

I will meet you again in a better place. Until then, my blue eyed wonder!

Love always, Mommy (Sarah) and Natalie

You always will be the son of my heart-Thank you

Pamela Gottlieb

Joey, your life was difficult, but now you are free. I love you so very much. I am so happy that you are finally able to see and to soar the way you were meant to. I will always remember you my little Joey bird.

Melissa

We'll miss our friendly feisty terrier who gave us 14 1/2 WONDERFUL years and warm wet kisses!

Bagshieff

We love you and miss you Johnny. We hope you are with your "dad", Tom, now at the Rainbow Bridge.

Randy, Patti, and Randall

Our beloved was abruptly taken away from us today. He was just 6 years and we're heartbroken. We loved him as our own child and miss him something awful.

He was our friend, our love, and one of our family. We will never forget him and what he gave us while he was here.

God, please keep him safe, protected, and happy.

In our hearts forever.

Love,

Larry and Leslie

JoJo was my friend and my baby. He was a special little guy, he never had a real family life until he came here to our home 2 years ago. He blossomed. He became my friend, the love of my life, and he is loved and missed so much it is unbearable. I love you Jo, and I hope that you will be waiting for me. I never dreamed that we would part so soon......our time here was too short, my darling, but we will be together forever someday, never to part again.

Debra Rowlands

To Jo Jo our pet canary who died on 11 October 3.30 am in the early hours of Thursday morning and I pray you are at peace now safe in Jesus arms in heaven. My darling we miss you so much it hurts. Rest in peace darling till we meet again in heaven. Sorry I was not with you when you needed me most. Forgive me darling. You were not alone there was an angel with you that day. You were never alone. Love you Jo Jo. Love from mum and dad Jeanette and Kevin Gibbs XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jo was my best friend and I will miss him very much. He was a good bird and he always make me laugh when he would dance for me. Mommy and I love him and will never forget him..

Gary

JoJo, please be happy now and forgive me for sending you for surgery. We got you when we lost my sister, Mary, because you were her dog and she loved you so. You loved her too, and she also was taken way too soon from us. We needed to find you when she died so we could take you in and love you. We did find you, and you were happy. You missed Mary, but you helped us so much by being there. Losing you is so very, very hard. I sent you for surgery to help you walk better after you hurt your knee. I didn't know it was going to take your life after three days. Please try and understand that I didn't know. You were a perfect dog, loving us for so many years, and such a comfort to us. You carried yourself with such grace and dignity, which is why it breaks my heart that your last days were filled with degrading pain and suffering. I only did what I thought was best for you. I am so sorry we were not home when you died. I imagined that when you died, it would be when you were much older and sick, and you would be surrounded by your family who would hold you and love you into the next world. Mary wants you back now, so go and be with her, precious JoJo. Heaven has no reward great enough for you.

All my love forever,
Grace

Your forever in my heart. I miss you and I love you ALWAYS! Jill

JoJo was attacked on Friday, Nov. 16, by another dog thru the fence in his yard. He was a very special little boy that came to live with me two years ago, nearly to the day. He has made a considerable impact on my life, and made me very aware of how much love can affect someone's life. He had never had a real home life, and he blossomed....he enjoyed treats and toys, had learned to play and enjoy many things he had never had the opportunity as a show dog to have before. There is an empty place in our home and in our hearts, and he is very sadly missed by all. I love you, Jo, with all my heart, and hope you will be as happy to see me again, as I will be you, when we are reunited someday.

Debra Rowlands

Freckleface mom, dad, and Tank miss you beyond any imagination. You were our angel. We all grieve still. You will never be forgotten. We talk about you and laugh about your sweet ways. We talk about the things you liked and didn't like. We play with your brother and see some of your traits in him. You left us way too soon and very unexpectedly. You are and never will be forgotten. Love, Mom

This in memory of Jolene, who is the beloved companion of Jerry and Jeanine Fontenot. She passed onto the rainbow bridge on Thursday the 14th of June. She will always remain in the hearts of all her family and friends that met her. Jolene was always happy to be with her mom and dad especially when food was available. Our hearts and prayers go out to her family and friends who are struggling through this very difficult time.

Heather Irwin

In memory of Jonathan: My sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart. I miss you and love you. --Mom

To my precious little girl Jonnie, since the day I first saw you in that pet store, I knew you were the one. You were the cutest little thing a girl could ask for and the fact that I wasn't allergic to you was God's way of blessing me with you. I knew you were meant for me. You came to us in a time of need and brightened up everyone, and for nearly the past 11 years you made life wonderful. You loved your rides in the car, sitting on the porch during a thunder storm, hated your baths, and loved to chase the squirrels and cats, but you would never pay any harm to anything or anyone, you were so gentle. Even when you were at your weakest point, you never snapped or complained. You were my little fighter, and you were so brave up to the very end. Since you were diagnosed with the diabetes almost 3 years ago you have fought so hard to just 8 months ago when diagnosed with the tumor. You were so courageous, even when you were suffering and I cried, you tried to comfort "me" by licking my tears away, I will never forget that night. But your sad tired eyes told me you didn't want to go on this way anymore. The rides you so very much loved were not enjoyable anymore, the fast food hamburgers were of no interest to you, and sudden problems with the tumor made the final decision. You journeyed to the Rainbow Bridge on Friday 04/20 and it broke my heart to see you go, but knowing you can run, see, and be free from pain again is what comforts me. You were always there no matter what, with such unconditional love. I am so lost without you and I miss you terribly. I will never forget you as long as I live, and I know we will meet again. Your beautiful soul is free now, and I know you are in a better place. My tears for you will take some time to dry, and the emptiness will always be felt, but I know in my heart you will be waiting for me and we will cross the bridge together, I will forever miss you girl, and I will always love you. I know all that I did for you could never compare to what you gave me in return. You gave me the best years of my life. I will never forget you, you truly were, "My Little Fighter."

Mary Kay Miller

My beautiful JonnyBo Westie girl has crossed the Rainbow Bridge and sits in the laps of angels waiting for her family to meet her someday.......She watches over all of us left on earth......her mommy, daddy, and brothers Murdoch and Poopy. JonnyBo was the family's clown, wiggleworm, cuddlebug and lovebug. She was a very big flirt who on several occasions jumped into men's laps, turned over so her belly was exposed and said "go ahead and rub my tummy" Each one of these men would look at their wife and say "gee, maybe we should get one like her". When mommy or daddy was sad she was the first one to jump up and kiss us. She was stronger than we were when it was time to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Her bladder cancer left her without any appetite.....mommy tried to feed her all the people food she had never been allowed to have.......she might eat a little but the next day couldn't look at the food. We have never loved anyone or anything as much as we loved our JonnyBo. My husband, Scott, says that if dogs aren't allowed in heaven he doesn't want to go. I know that God would never turn his back on pure love and that's what JonnyBo was and will always be in our hearts. We will sprinkle her ashes at the ocean over the driftwood that she loved to climb all over. We will conduct our ceremony and say our last farewell but she will never really die.........her spirit and love will continue to be close to our heart forever and those lucky angels.......what a gift they have now.

From: Mommy Bonnie, Daddy Scott, and brothers Murdoch(westie)&Poopy(Scottie)
JonnyBo Block-Lee was born 12/4/87 and Passed on 4/28/01

Joo Joo
Sweetheart,
Mom and Dad want you to know how much we love you...
we miss you so very very very much...
we hurt so much and so badly because we didn't get the chance
to see you grow up and live a full life...
I hope that we made your life as good as possible that short time you were with us.
And I hope that wherever you are on that rainbow bridge you are safe, warm, happy..

We love you so much, and we ALL miss you, dad, me and Binky.
Oh JooJoo... you wonderful wonderful kitten.
I hope you are up there looking down on us from time to time.
Miss you.

Jordan, My heart is filled with sadness. My eyes are filled with tears. I've lost my Best Friend . I'll miss you waiting at the door for me with your little stub of a tail wiggling and your eyes looking deep into mine. You fought long and hard. You are free now of your disease. Run and play with Josh and Mag. It's almost time for the Pear tree to bud. You can eat all you want. I love and miss you, Mom

Pat Smith

a friend of mine died. His name was Jordan Garrabrant. He died 1-10-01. His mothers name was Margie Garrabrant. He was a long haired yellow tabby who was too sweet to be a boy but he was. He was 7 1/2 years old and had used several lives already. One life he used up was by living in a car trunk for 3 days after being accidentally shut in by his mom. I helped save him that day and he became a part of my family and has stayed in my heart since. I will meet him again another day. Until then my sweet sweet little boy friend....I love you, Karen

Jordan came to use from CAMPS. Someone had left her in the canyon tied to a tree. When they found her she had been chewing on tree bark to stay alive. She was pregnant and starving.

She knew she was ours from the first time she saw us. She jumped right into the car and into our hearts. She had two parents that dearly loved her and two boys that brought her great joy. She loved watching over her family and always gave us her unconditional love.

Jordan, you will always be the daughter I never had. I love you now and I will forever. I will meet you in heaven so wait for me there!
Love Mom

Well, Mr. Man...you are missed everyday...we still cry when we dust your picture.
You filled our lives with joy and happiness. You really thought you were a cat...
but we know you were a human!
Take care of Moka and Java and we will see you at the Bridge when the time comes.
And we will go for one of our wonderful walks...miss you sooo much.

Casey

Joschi was a gentle dog who brought joy to everyone he knew. He will bring even more joy to those with him now in the eternal garden.

Scott B Sanderson

He truly changed our lives and attitudes and we loved him so, and there is a "hole" in our hearts.

Carolyn Clark

Too a kitty taken long before his time. May you rest in peace forever. Jose Cuervo

Tom Perilloux and Heather Dixon

Josey was a sweet and loving dog who thought she was still small enough to sit in your lap. She loved hunting rabbits, giving kisses, playing in the tank and laying on my mop on the back porch. We miss her! We love you, Josey.

Josh, you were a wonderful little companion. You brought such happiness and were much loved by me ,mom and auntie. Age took your sight and sparkling personality ,but the memory of what a joy you were will always live in my heart. Mom had to wait 11yrs to see you again, but I know she was waiting for you with open arms over Rainbow Bridge. Love, Daddy And Chipperdog

Joe Blasco

Josh, you entered my life like a angel in disguise. I was loosing my own life after the loss of my Spikey. I so much wanted another dog for I missed the pitter patter around the house greatly. Then one day Daddy and I meet you. Your life was ready to be ending as well at the time, locked in that cage. Then we wisked you away from that and gave you a life and home of joy, warmth and so much love. You gave us so much love Joshie that our hearts are so empty now with you gone. But yet we have you all around us for I know your still here in many ways. The most important way is your still in our hearts. We love you Joshie and we will miss you greatly till we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. And I know you'll be the KING of food stealing at the Bridge so behave. No goodbyes Josh, but instead till we meet again our LOVE. Mom and Dad

Josh, my hero

Steve Pierce

Josh was a wonderful companion. He graciously accepted a orphaned lop rabbit into his life. No small feat for a dog. At the ripe old age of 12, he welcomed our baby son Connor. He was the most gentle dog I have ever known.

Kim Burkhardt

My dear, beloved Josha took a catnap on Thursday but this time she never awoke. It is a comfort to know she died peacefully in her sleep, laying in her favorite spot on the couch. So many years we spent together, so much that we went through down the road of life together. I will miss everything about her, so many things but above all her unconditional love and affectionate nature. I miss you terribly and I will always love you and cherish your memory.

Joshua was the driving force in our home. We lost him to bloat this past Thursday night. He passing was sudden and we miss him more than I would have thought possible. Please say a little prayer for our brat doggy, Josh.

Donna Warner

Joshua Stephen was a beautiful Siamese cat. The gave us his heart, soul, and love that will never be forgotten and unnoticed. We can only thank God for allowing us the opportunity to have him for 18 and a half years. May God keep him safe until we meet him again and we can all be together again. You was our only child for many years and when our own children came along, you were there protecting them. We hope you had no pain when it was time and that we love you very much. Our lives will never be the same without. You were always there though tough times, purring, showing your affection, and making things better again. We knew your time was coming near, but it never prepared us for what we feel now. We know that your body could not take no more and you were tired. Your family cries and calls out your name as if you were still here hoping that your passing was just a nightmare and never really happened even though deep down we know the truth. If we could only go back in time... So rest for now and build your strength for when we reunite. Our hearts and minds are filled now with beautiful memories, we will cherish forever. WE LOVE YOU, JOSHUA STEPHEN! WE MISS YOU!!

WITH ALL OUR LOVE BABY JOSHUA STEPHEN,

Karen (your Mommy), Peter (your Daddy), Tanner, and Keaton (your human brothers) Gagne

P.S. Also, Putt-Putt (your Pomeranian brother) and Tundra (your Siberian Husky sister)

For my family,

Do not stand at my grave and weep;  
I am not there, I do not sleep.  
I am a thousand winds that blow.  
I am the diamond glints on snow.  
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.  
I am the gentle autumn rain.  
When you awaken in the morning's hush  
I am the swift uplifting rush  
Of quiet birds in circled flight.  
I am the soft stars that shine at night.  
Do not stand at my grave and cry;  
I am not there, I did not die.

With all my love, Joshua Stephen :-)

Josie lived for eighteen happy years. She was my companion and sister. She was a caring dog, always letting us know when the cats wanted to come in, always upset if the cats were fighting, and never leaving our sides if we were ill. Her favorite things to do were walking outside with us, following my mom around the kitchen, eating bread, and playing her game, "people breath". Blessed and loved is this peacemaker, Josie.

Katie

My Josie Girl,
As much as I didn't want to let you go, I know I made the right decision. You are no longer in any pain and suffering. You are now free the cancer that so quickly invaded your body, but couldn't touch your spirit. You touched the lives of all who met you and made a lasting impression on them all. You will be deeply mourned, and never forgotten. You will always be my baby girl, and will live forever in my heart. I love you Josie, sleep well.

Kendra

Dear Josie, This tribute is in your honor for providing unconditional love for the last four years that you have been a part of my Love's life and family. To be stricken with Squamos Cell Carcinoma is so devastating. We love you so much but we can do so very little. I only wish there was a way to prevent what the future will undoubtedly bring. No matter, I will always remember how you made yourself comfortable on our laps while we read or watched television. I will remember how you always climbed into bed with us and had to place yourself in between us no matter the discomfort to us all. I know we all will remember that when we needed comfort most from our sad and miserable days, you were the first to offer comfort. Unfortunately we had not had the gift of having you in our lives for very long, but you did leave us a gift behind. Your son, Leopold. To get us through this difficult time, I hope he will not mind the attention. We all love you and will miss you very much.

Adam McCormick

A big part of my life is gone, never to return. Josie I'll meet you on the bridge.

Robin McKay

Joy was the best dog anywhere, she made my life so happy, and she is missed more than I can say.

Joyfuldog, thank you for choosing me and for loving me for 15 years. You will always live in my heart. Mom

We found JR at the Monterey Humane Society in 1991. He was a white kitten with big blue eyes, oversized ears and paws. We knew he would be a handful and he was. As an adult, he became known as THE GREAT WHITE. He loved to be blown with a hair dryer and have our daughter pull him through the house on a towel. Candy wrappers were his favorite toys to chase. He will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts. We loved him so much!!!!!

Gary, Vicki & Bre'T Kertz

Judas.....I will always hold a very large spot in my heart for my lost Best Friend, protector & my confidence. I am very proud for the courage you had right up to the end.

You stood tall for me and help me get through the hard times. You always were there to give special hugs when Mom needed them & there were many hugs. At the end I was there to be able to give you the hugs you needed and try to make the your last days as comfortable & peaceful as possible. I miss you, Judas, so much and life will not be the same without you. But I promised you that I will be strong now as I walk alone even though I know you are with me. I wish you could of stayed longer - I never expected this to happen so fast. But for now "Goodnight Bubba-Peas, I will see you later-but be a good boy until then. Rest in Peace - Run with the Wind" Love you always - Diane

Jude was our Little Man, Always curious and attached to our sides, So many things he did made him standout. We loved him so much, he was our child, our protector, our companion our friend and was a very important and special part of our life. We will miss him so much.

Our dearest little Judger took his journey to the Rainbow Bridge tonight. He was the third dog we had rescued. Found wandering the streets of a suburb of Dallas, we took him into our home to learn about this little street fighter. What a charmer, what a lover. He won our hearts. We were blessed to have him for three years, but seeing his pain was too much for us to accept from this special little dog. With saddened hearts, we helped him on his pain-free journey to the Rainbow Bridge. Judger, we love you and miss you already. Bexar misses his special friend, too. You will always be in our hearts. Thank you for allowing us into yours. Peggy & Richard Meador and your "brothers," Pete & Bexar, and your "sister," Trecious

To a very special old lady, We only adopted you in February, but in those few short months you stole our hearts. You were very sweet, kind, gentle and totally adorable even though you were already old and infirm. I hope we made your last months happy, comfortable and a little easier than they had been in the kennels. We will never forget you and will always love you. Have fun with Paddy, Mutley and Candy now that you're out of pain.
Love and Kisses from Mum, Dad and Westie.

Exceptional dog. Incredibly loyal, friendly, trustworthy, and playful. Loved, respected, and admired by all who crossed his path (man and bear and others). We will miss him greatly (some more than others). Perhaps his soul goes to some unimaginable place, yet many great people have wished and pondered that after they die they would like to come back as Jughead. His royal bark will never be forgotten.

Julie's job on earth was to give us love and companionship and she did this unconditionally. We will never forget her.

I loved June very, very much. I miss her very much. I want her to be OK. I am 4 years old and she used to snuggle up with me and sleep.

My little "Bubba" consumed me. There is such a huge hurt in my heart now. I truly lived for the little guy. I have an alcoholic husband and no children and everyday is a struggle. Bubba was my link to sanity and now he's gone. He was attacked by a stray Akita (that we are trying to locate) and had severe spinal cord injury. I stayed with him for 2 hours at the hospital agonizing over the inevitable. Today we buried him in a very special place in our big back yard so he will be close to me. I've lost a brother to AIDS and other pets but this is by far the most devastating loss. Bubba, I will love you forever and am so sorry that Mommy couldn't make it better. Please watch over me, Daddy and Kobie. May the lord bless you and keep you safe in his arms. Love always, Mommy, Daddy and Kobie

Juniper,

You were taken from me far too soon. I loved you so very much. Thank you for your sweetness, your willingness, your soft nose, your welcoming whinnies, your strong back and your loving personality. You took carrots graciously, you nuzzled my children with kindness, and you performed like a true athlete under saddle. I will never ever forget you. I mourn you, and the foals I promised you we would make soon, and never got the chance. Please wait for me; we will be together again someday. Until then, remember me.

Juniper whom we called JuJu was a special part of our lives, who taught us to love unconditionally. She will always be missed and be in our hearts. She was 16 years old when she passed and as much our child as our daughter and son our. Till we meet again JuJu, we love you and miss you very much. Juju, now you are with nick again, and you two can romp in the grass once more.
Love
Mommy and Daddy

Dear Juno,

There is a special place in my heart which is specially reserved for you. No other cat can take your place. I miss you.

My tribute to Jupiter:

The King of Snaps
Is a handsome chap
He drools and whines
But mostly dines
And then he takes his nap.

I love you forever, my sweet boy
