Year 2002 Tributes

Cactuscats Tammy Wirenette thru Czeke

Her eyes always shown with love. She never met a stranger and was a warm and loving Ambassador for her very rare breed. She brought joy wherever she went. She was my soul mate and letting her go was the hardest thing I've ever done. But, love never dies, and I know she waits for me with eyes shining and her body throbbing with purrs. Sleep well, dear Tammy.

Kitty Dieterich

Rosemary Ayris

Mickey, you were a very difficult dog due to the abuses of your life before coming to us. We are sorry to have had to say goodbye to you but happy that now you are in a place where you won't be fearful or frightening anymore.
You were a good dog and fooled everyone, including us most of the time and more than your fair share of obedience/CGC judges! We are happy to have had this experience with you. You have made us much better ACD Rescuers.

Mary Dixon/steve Stanchfield

Cadbury, You will always be missed and now there is a whole in my heart where you were. I loved every minute with you. You will live forever with me. Love Julian.

Dear Cady
We miss you a lot. I'm so sad since you left us. Please know that we love you so much. I hope Casey was at the Bridge to greet you today. He was your brother and he always took such good care of you. I hope you are at peace now with Casey. Run and sniff and see clearly again my beautiful Cady. All our love. Mommy & Kerri

Caeli was adopted into my home as a stray puppy. She was delicate yet playful and strong. She could be timid yet very adventuresome. She was extremely affectionate and loyal. She loved to play outside with her favorite toys and explore. She love to chatter. She was almost two years old. What her murderer did not like was her chattering. In his evil mind she deserved to die. On Wednesday, August 14th at around 5:30 P.M. she was poisoned with antifreeze. Caeli fought hard to live. At one point the vet and I had hope she would make it, but it was not to be. She died on Friday morning, August 16th. I will miss her joyful and loving presence. I love you Caeli!

Martha Gruhlkey

From the very first moment I saw you
From the very first time I held you
When you were hurt and I felt your pain
When you would create messes in the house
When you would give me those sad puppy eyes
When you would crawl into my bed at night and snuggle
When you would do the funniest things when I needed to smile
When you would be so happy to see me come home
After so many years with you by my side
I KNEW IT WAS LOVE
When time had taken its toll and you only had little time left
I KNEW JUST HOW MUCH I LOVED
When the time came to hold you for the very last time
When "goodbye my love" were the last words you heard
When I had to let your spirit leave your body
I KNEW IT WAS LOVE
How I am going to get through each day without you
How every thought of you will bring tears to my eyes
How the memory of you will forever be with me
How pictures of you will remind me of my broken heart
I KNOW IT IS LOVE

My sweet little mush baby, I will forever miss you. I thank God for every day I had with you. I am waiting for the day we meet again. Be at peace.

-Your Daddy

Caesar, mommy wants you to know that I love you, I miss you and I feel lost without you. I know you are in a better place with God, you can play with other puppies, and never be ill again. You were my "Sunshine" and I know you are safe. You were truly the best baby I ever could have asked for. God not only gave me a puppy to love, but gave me my best friend. I will never forget you. You are in my prayers and my daily thoughts. I will be looking for you when I get to Heaven. I will love you always, Mommy (Lene'),

I love you, Caesar. I've never known a more loving or faithful friend. Go and run now, fella, in fields of daisies with a heart that will never weaken.
You've left me a treasure of wonderful memories.

Ernie Smith

We love you Caesar and we will miss you with all our hearts. God will take good care of you, and until we see you again, have fun in kitty heaven!

The Tripp Family

You were our special boy. We had you since you were 9 weeks old and I think we were truly blessed when we got you. Mommy and Daddy love you so much and miss you more than words can express. We are so sorry Caesar that mommy and daddy couldn't save you from cancer. We tried everything we could, but it was out of our hands. That day when you were so sick you looked up at us and without words we knew you were asking us to let you go and to make the pain go away. That was the hardest decision we ever had to make, but we knew we could not make our dear friend suffer anymore. We know now that because your so special God needed you with him. We hope you are running and playing like you use to. You were truly a wonderful companion, protector and our bestfriend. We had you for seven wonderful years and we have the most treasured memories that will always stay in our hearts. This isn't good-bye my sweet boy, because someday we will all be together again and I know you will be there waiting. We love you with all of our hearts.

Mommy and Daddy

He was "my bud, my bestest bud;" he was my best friend; we were kindred spirits; he was unconditional love personified, a joy to be around, a precious and most blessed gift from God; he loved life and enjoyed sharing life with me; he brought meaning to my life; and when life was most trying for me, he was there to lick away my tears and remind me that I was loved; he humbled me by wanting to be near me and by choosing to spend time with me--he was my heart, "my bestest bud."

Cynthia A. Goldsworthy

Hello My Sweet My Cat,
When I found you at the pound after having been left in a drop-box you had a face only a mother could love. All of the abuse you had taken from those horrible people had definitely taken its toll on you. We stuck it out though and you turned into my Catanova. Those big blue eyes of yours just looking up at me - I could almost hear you saying out loud "You love me don't you? Please love me, just let me be by you". Even though we had a very short time together, I don't think its possible to love anyone more than I love you. You were my "Flash - Defender of the apartment" the way you ran through the rooms and greeted everyone at the door - because, of course, they were there only for you.

You were such a blessing and you were there for me when my Zander had to leave for heaven. I don't think I would have gotten through that without you. I never needed anyone else as long as I had you and your constant purring. You gave me so much comfort and so much love and I am so sorry I couldn't save you from the cancer like I saved you from the pound. We tried though, you and me, and you fought so hard to stay with me. I'm sorry I let you down this time. Thank you so much for being such a little toughie and staying so sweet and loving the whole time. I could never have asked for a better baby cat than you. You and Zander keep one another company for a while and I promise I will come for you as soon as I can. I love you with all my heart and miss you horribly.

Mom

You were a very special friend, and I miss you greatly. I still can't believe you're gone. "Experts" who tell us animals don't have feelings need to find another line of work. I found you in a PA pet store one spring day. The staff didn't know what you were, but said a tearful child had asked them to find you a new home because her parents wouldn't let her keep you any longer. You seemed so lonely and depressed in your cage, I decided to bring you home and try to cheer you up. But it wasn't until about 6 months later, after rescuing I you from the cat, that we bonded. The way you looked at me told me that you knew I had saved your life. I laughed when you hid and cleaned yourself up before meeting your new girlfriend. I marveled when you gave your mate your nightly treat that you looked forward to each day. When I told your vet about that, he said "Animals don't do that." But you did. I cried when I saw how you took care of Cinnamon after she gave birth to your pups. You watched over her, and brought her food. Later, you baby-sat so she could take a break. A lot of human husbands and fathers don't treat their mates as well as you did Cinnamon.
Then, later, when you got diabetes, I put you on a special diet and gave you medicine and you lived another 6 months. Then I noticed you stopped eating and didn't feel well. I took you to bed with me that night. You snuggled up in your favorite spot on my shoulder while I read late into the night. I knew you wanted to be with me. You passed away later that night.
I still don't completely understand the special friendship that we shared. I know we've been through a lot together. And I know how much I miss you. Did you have to die so soon, my friend? Couldn't you have waited a year or two? If animals go to heaven, I know you'll be there. Probably scarfing down all the sunflower seeds! And waiting for me so we can be together again. I miss you, my friend.

Beth

Caesar was a wonderful, sweet loving kitty who didn't even know he was totally deaf. He was a cuddly loving affectionate fluffball. He is missed by his Mom (me), his Dad (Jason) and his two brothers, Zeus and Judas.

I'm glad you're not suffering anymore Not-So-Little Little Guy!

I love you!

Cagney was my heart. He was a gift to me from family friends in upstate South Carolina. I got him when he was either 6 or 7 years old. We adjusted to each other slowly but when I would come home and see my little man run down my stairs, bark and jump. That was it!! He would give me lots of "Cagney Kisses."

Earlier this year, he fell down those same stairs. He had an eye specialist who said with his age, just give him the "liquid gold" drops twice daily. Anyway, back to the fall, I jumped up and ran to the top of the stairs and saw that he just jumped up and shook it off.

A few days later on our evening walk, I noticed that I could hear his paws dragging on the pavement. Everything happened rather quickly after that. He got to the point where he could no longer go down the stairs, walk on the kitchen floor or walk to the grass on my front porch to go to the bathroom.

What compounded the situation was that my father was having major surgery during the same time as Cagney was ill and my mother has Alzheimer's. I could not give Cagney the attention that he needed but my vet and her staff were GREAT!! They even made a donation in my Cagney's name to the University of Georgia's school of veterinary medicine. God bless them all!!

I am crying now so I am going to cut this short while I can still see my monitor.

Cagney, I love you and I miss you terribly. Please continue to help me when I miss you so much.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak of my love for my child Cagney.

Megra

Cagney has gone on to give her selfless love to the rest of the angels. She will brighten both the sun and the stars. Her presence is welcome wherever she resides and all who know her are better for it. Never was there a better canine companion and a lady to the end. Her seven year old Boston buddy and I miss her and grieve for her deeply. A big thanks to Dr. Schulte who is more than just a vet and Charlotte Riley who is a friend to humans and animals. Thanks for having a place for the world to see what an impact animals make in our lives.

Wynette Jameson

Daddy took you from me Cajun but I never had a day go by I didn't think about you. I love you and missed you so much. Please never be mad at Daddy for keeping you from me, it was his only way he could hurt me. We will be together again one day at the Rainbow Bridge, where no one can take you again from me.

Cal and Missy were life mates since they were puppies. Cal and Missy were my best friends. Cal knew that Missy was dying and grieved for her and when we took Missy to the vet and did not return with her, Cal was despondent. Cal and Missy had their own house and a very large fenced yard and they never wanted to come into the house. After Missy died, Cal came into the house and laid at my feet and went everywhere I went. Cal also had cancer and it was progressing rapidly. He did not want to leave us and as the vet was preparing to administer the injection, he lifted his head and gave us a pleading look, trying to tell us that he can stand the pain a little longer if only he can spend just a little more time with us. I only wish that I could have given him that time. As he died he looked at us with those large brown eyes and said goodby.
I miss Cal and Missy. They were my best friends.

CALDONIA'S LAST RIDE
March 26, 2000

I once had a cat that was one of a kind,
She shared my apartment for fifteen years long.
Her name was "Caldonia," the peculiar name
Of a 'hard-headed woman' celebrated in song.

Now she is gone and I miss her so.
Some memories fade when others are clear.
I will never forget all that occurred
The day that you died -- Caldonia my dear!

She twice cheated death since she was so tough
And pills from the vet helped keep her alive.
When time must be borrowed, the interest is high
I never made bets on how long she'd survive.

But her crippling arthritis diminished her will;
Her final four days she refused to eat.
This stubborn old cat wouldn't fight anymore;
Listless, indifferent, she conceded defeat.

On Sunday she lay on her side on the bed,
Mouth open, gasping and struggling for breath.
I saw that her life had now reached its end
And I wanted to spare her some pain before death.

She shivered with fright for she knew what it meant
When I brought out the box and placed her inside.
She tried to climb out but she had no strength
As we went to my car for Caldonia's last ride.

We had traveled a mile when I gave her a glance
And she shot out her foot and despondently wailed.
It took sixty seconds for me to contrue
That this was the moment her little heart failed.

I called her by name and talked to her gently,
But she never heard a word I had spoken.
No movement at all! -- The stillness of Death.
Her heart had stopped and my heart was broken.

While I drove to the vet I reached into her box
And stroked her soft fur which was warm from the sun.
I had tried to do right and it hastened her end,
But it came very quick and her suffering was done.

Caldonia's a cat I will never forget;
Unique is the word for my animal friend.
Her memory will stay with me all of those days
Until that time comes when I see her again.

Adios, old pal.

Love never dies.
We'll miss you, laddie.

You weren't with us for very long but you will never know the impact you had in our family or how much you will be missed. We love you !!!

I miss mommy's baby girl so much. You gave me so much love.

Bonnie Dusek

You where my friend and companion for 16 years. I miss and love you.
Keep a warm spot for me until I am with you again.
Love always,
Daddy

Cali, every day was a gift.

Sharon

Our sweet "Cali Girl" was only with us for a short time (5 1/2 mos.) and cancer took her quickly from us but she will be forever missed in our hearts.

Gary, Raiza, Criss, Andru, Bj & Dan

Calli was my best friend and my baby for 24 years. I love her so much. She was my best friend. She passes away in her sleep last night and I really miss her.

Calli we will miss you everyday forever, you were our first cat and we both love you very much. Please know we will always be reminded of you for all the special things you did for us. You are in our thoughts always...Love Frank and Donna

Callie was the sweetest and prettiest cat I've ever known. I got her from the pound my second year of college, not knowing that she had a bad heart murmur. The first vet I went to see told me she probably wouldn't make it a year; instead she stuck with me for 3 and a half wonderful years-always ready to cuddle and lick away any tears I had. I love you sweet girl and I will miss you so much. God will take good care of you until I can see you again.

Dearest Callie,
I went to the humane society in 1986 to find a friend for Lady. When I saw you, your sweet little paw was sticking out of the cage and when I went up to the cage you kept grabbing on to my shirt as if to say pick me pick me. Well, I did pick you. And when I took you home you took up to lady right away. Lady left us soon after and is waiting at the Rainbow Bridge. Then Baby came to live with us and you two grew up together. It was just you and her for 6 years then Shelby came to live with us. People would ask me how two dogs and a cat got along so well. I would tell them Callie gets along better with dogs then other cats. You would always get mad if another cat came around. Baby and Shelby miss you very much as do I. We will all meet up again at the Rainbow Bridge. I Love you Callie
Love, Mom, Baby, Shelby

Callie Ann will always be special to us. She had a beautiful spirit and a heart of gold. She always wore a smile on her face. Her personality was one in a million and she had so much to say. She loved to play frizz bee and hide n seek. Everyone that knew her loved her. She will live in our hearts forever. We miss you and love you Callie. Love Jack, Lisa and your sister Daisy Mae.

Dear Friends,
In the past year all three of you have passed from our family. Together so long my heart still grieves. My Calli, you left us first after 18 yrs of togetherness. My friend you will always be in my heart. Sweet Kitty, you missed your sister so and while I miss you so much, I'm glad you are together again. Little Candi,17 yrs we had and yet our time seemed so short. I miss you baby and poor Koby is so lost without his big sister. My beloved friends, know that your family here misses you still and loves you forever. thank you for the wonderful memories.
your faithful friend,
Frieda

Cal, you were brave and strong and loving. I love you.

Susan Fewel

Calvin you will forever be in my heart. Your memory will live forever. I Love You my Angel. You are deeply missed! Love Always your mom, your sister K.C., buddies oreo and petey and gradma and gramps.

He was a very frisky cat who liked to play with my dog buddy and to hunt for birds and field mice

Rebecca Francis Owens

This is a tribute to my two babies who are now both together. They were so opposite even from the start. Arthur would always be getting into trouble, in the trash, or eating our rising bread! But he was always the cuddler. I remember laying on the floor with him and he would put his big paw around me to keep me safe. Calvin on the other hand was the typical overachiever. He would bring the mail in from the mailbox and he even knew sign language! He was brilliant and was definitely the athlete of the two. When Arthur passed two years ago from cancer, it was a surprise. I always thought that Calvin would be the first to go because he had so many health problems. Then Calvin passed last month and things just haven't been the same in my heart. He was always so happy, even when he couldn't walk anymore because the arthritis was so bad. He would always wag his tail when we came home. And he was a licker, oh yes, he was a licker. I miss them both soo much. They were my first dogs ever! I miss them so much but at least they are together.

Trisha

We love you Calvin.

Hope

Camby came into our lives 7 years ago. He was the best dog anyone could possibly imagine having. We miss you Cam!
Love forever...

Becky

Darling Cammie, Daddy is missing you terribly. You are as I continually told you, and always will be, Daddy's love of his life. You brought great joy into my life and were always there when I needed you. You will never be forgotten, gorgeous, and I am longing for our reunion. Oval and Angie send you lots of kisses.

Peter Georgeu

Cameron was the most special friend I could ever have. We had such a special bond. He would play fetch with me, something I never knew a cat could do! He followed me everywhere I went. He would patiently wait for me to get out of the bathtub so he could jump right in, while there was still water in it! I would hear him meowing at the front door the second I put my keys in the lock. He'd roll at my feet until I picked him up. He slept with me every night. He had a problem with diarrhea ever since he was a kitten, but it would come and go. It was acting up again and he was not acting like his usual playful self, so we took him to the vet, where I work as a receptionist, but had just left to go on maternity leave. We had to leave him there for a few hours so they could run some tests. When the vet called me back I heard something I never thought I would hear...They took some X-rays and discovered that he had a large mass in his abdomen. She said the prognosis was quite poor, but I wanted to do all I could to save my best friend. I elected to have an exploratory surgery performed the following morning to see if the tumor could be removed. Cameron would be spending the night at the vets, so my husband and I went to visit him, it was so hard for me seeing him like that. The next morning the vet called me and said they had him in the O.R. and the mass was pretty wrapped around his intestines and could not be removed. I was so devastated. I elected to put him to sleep, he was just beginning to get sick, and it would only get worse from there. I wanted him to be with me forever, but I could not keep him here to suffer. The vet didn't really know the exact cause of the tumor, but it possibly could have been the result of what she said was a sequestered feline leukemia virus so deep in his body it didn't show up on the tests. It was a rough time for me. I had prayed so hard for God to make him better, but my prayers were unanswered. I believe that everything happens for a reason though. Our first child, Brandon was born four days later. I'm really sad that Brandon never got to meet Cameron, but I strongly believe in my heart that they share a special bond because of Cameron's sudden death occurring so closely to Brandon's birth. I think that my special friend is my son's guardian angel and I know we'll meet again at the rainbow bridge.

Jackie & Josh Pettit

Loved by Francesco Bruno-Bossio and Mary Jones, Camile challenged life with an unequalled stamina and intelligence. First diagnosed with breast cancer in December 1994, Camile continued her life, free of pain, anger and resentment until her last quiet breath, Easter evening (March 31), 2002. She was for me a model for how life can be lived. She was for Francesco a 'second mother'. Camile, you will be missed, but Camile, you have given us so much more than we could ever have given you. Thank you for having been our kitty. We love you.

Camille, my "Mealie Pie", I found you that rainy night in August outside the grocery store. You were huddled in the wheel well of my car. How you knew to pick me I'll never know. I'm so allergic to cats, but we worked it out. You loved me and comforted me when my Dad died. I would have been all alone if not for you. Thank you for your love. I will look for you and Buckwheat at the Rainbow Bridge. Years later I can't believe that you both left me in the span of a couple of months. But it will work out. See you soon, Love Mom

Cammie-O had lived in several houses but, never new a home until she came to live with Anita(Her Mom)She found with Anita the love and friendship that everyone looks for in life. Never again did she want for anything because her Mom was there. Cammie-O's playfulness and zest for life brought smiles and happiness to all she met. In her Mom's words " She was a good old dog"

Anita Friend

Cammy, I love you. I am sorry you are gone and I miss you very much!!!!! I will see you again some day!

Marcy

Camy, We will always love you and never forget you ever!

She was a loving and wonderful cat. We're going to miss her so much .

Dianne Parsons

To a very special dog,

We brought you when you were a pup at the Pet store back in in 1984, when I was only a 12 year old girl. You gave us so much happiness and you were a beautiful, loving and happy dog.

We miss you so much and we hope you forgive us for putting you out of your misery. We wanted you to run around like you used to and I know that you are in heaven now running around with Papa, Nana and Helen.

I cant wait to see you one day in Heaven.

I love you Candy
Sally.

We love you always and forever Candy, you were such a good girl. Kisses and hugs,

Love from Michelle, Mummy, Daddy, Sveta, Tony and Julien.

Candy was a very special part of our family. She was our grandparent's dog. Our grandfather passed away 9 years ago today. Our Gram joined him less than a year after his passing. Now we take comfort in knowing "Candygirl" is with Gram and Poppy in a beautiful place where there is no pain- only squirrels to chase and plenty of puppy chow to nibble on. We love you Candy ...and give Buzzy a big kiss for us

Amanda Jo, Cindy, Kelly, Neil, Jody, Vinny

Dear Candy,

Thank you for all the love you gave us. You were truly a precious gift from God and we are so thankful for having you in our lives. we will love you forever!

Judy and Dennis M

Best friend I every new, I will always have her in my heart forever. Candy was there when I needed her most.
Love her forever, till we met again.

She was my best friend. She was my birthday present in 1973 and we rode together for 30 years! She was quietly and quickly put to sleep on my birthday. Her final gift to me was for me to be there and know that her final days were peaceful and without any pain or suffering. We rode our final ride only 15 minutes before she passed away. She gave all the kids in the neighborhood rides and was the shinning star when it came to taking the foals out for the first time on trail rides. Her calm nature and patience helped each of them overcome their natural fears. She will be missed but remembered more for the good times. Half of her ashes will be spread over a mountain trail that we both loved to ride and the rest will wait for by ashes to be combined with hers and spread when it is my turn to finally join her.

Cathy

I would like to say good-bye to my babyfur girl Candy. My fiancé would call her "Candy girl" and I would call her my ma petite guidoune. I love her dearly she was my best friend, always there for me, never betrayed me, gave me unconditional love and was truly there for me through some really hard times in my life. I thank you so much as hard as it is to say good-bye to you I know Dad is probably playing ball with you as we speak. I hope you are happy at Rainbow Bridge and never forget how much mom & dad love you.

You are deeply missed

love Norm & Nancy
xoxoxoxo

We miss you so much. We will see you and Moo on the bridge soon. Enjoy your walkies, we will take you for one soon. Hope you are hunting lots of chickens and eating ice cream.

Love Mom, Dad, and Lisa

A well traveled cat, he accompanied me for 18 years through 3 cross country moves from Tampa, Florida where he was born to Minneapolis, Minnesota, back to Florida and then to west of Chicago where we lived for 13 years. He loved to watch tv, sit in a sunny spot and be held and combed. He loved everyone, and charmed all with his big blue eyes and creamy chocolate point coloring. He loved to talk in the mornings, and take naps.

Robin & Ben Doerr

I first wrote this the end of August but kept crying while I was writing so I never posted it until today 12/10/02.

Captain was about 1 & ½ years old when he found us. He was walking around our neighborhood and we fed him bologna and milk on a Tuesday, he came back on Thursday and we fed him again and he left. Two days passed and he came back and Bryan asked us if he could stay the night and that's all it took. Captain became a part of our family from that day forward. Captain was one of the best dogs we ever had although each one of our dogs were very special in their own way. He was the best Schipperke in the world and loved to play and do Schipperke all the time. We will always cherish our memories of you and the love you brought to everyone who knew you. We love you Captain, Cappy, Schipperke, Lil Captain, Kookoobird and Mookie and will see you again one day! Midnight and Jack are in heaven with you now you are all together waiting for us.

I had written something for our other two dogs Midnight and Jack who we lost in the past. It really was comforting for me to write this and I found clipart pictures that looked exactly like my 3 dogs and then I took a picture of each of our dogs and put it on document paper and printed it and I now have it hanging on our wall with our pictures of our family dogs. I have had to stop 4 times while writing this because it still hurts so much and I miss him terribly. I know that time will slowly heal my heart but I will never forget him.

Last Friday, 12/6/02 a new little Schipperke puppy became our newest pet. His name is Yuletide Skippy Skipalong and was named from a combination of his father and grandfather. We call him Skippy. He is so cute and already reminds us of how much we missed a dog even though we have a kitten about a month older than the puppy who was born on September 30, 2002. Kittens are cute but they are not as snuggely as a puppy and now that Tony alittle over 3 months he only wants to be held when he wants to. Nonetheless, Tony and Skippy seem to be adjusting to each other fine and I know that they will be wonderful company to each other.

Captain Morgan was born a few days before I got married, I watched him come into this world. He was the sweetest cat, and I know he loved me as much as I loved him. He would sit in my lap, and purr and purr, even if I wasn't touching him. He was such a talker too. He would just walk around the house talking to anything and everything. Sometimes, when I would pick him up in the middle of a meow, he would squeek. We always got a kick out of that. I will miss him so much, and I will never, ever forget him.

I love you Captain Morgan.

Marriah Kennedy

She was our special doggy. We miss her beauty and gentleness and friendship. Linda, Brian and Jason xxx

The Spar Family

Carat was more than my pet, he was my best friend, he was always there for me. He was sooo special to me.

Betsy Hare

Cari was one of the most wonderful people I've ever known. She came to me on March 18, in 1997. She had been found under a dumpster, and had been abused. I was 14, and had recently lost a cat I'd grown up with, so my mom brought her home to me. We were best friends. We got each other through some really tough times. I'm now 20, married, and trying to start a family. My husband is in the Navy, and we move a lot. Cari gets stressed out easily, and was becoming ill from the chaos of our lives. The vet suggested we find her a home with a more stable environment. Though it hurt, we agreed. We tried for 4 months. On November 10, we brought her to an adoption center. I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought that if maybe Cari just got some exposure to the public, someone would certainly see how beautiful and wonderful she is, and fall madly in love with her. I left specific instructions, and was promised that if for any reason, she could no longer remain at the center, I would be contacted and could bring her home. Only I couldn't live with myself for doing it that way. I got up this morning, and arrived at the shelter before they even opened. I waited...I was going to bring her home. I knew I couldn't keep her, for her sake, but I would do whatever I could to find her a real forever home. No matter how long it took. Only she didn't come home with me. The animal center lied. They messed up, or forgot. Cari was put to sleep on November 18, because she was afraid, and wouldn't allow people to touch her. Today is November 22. She's been gone for four days and I didn't even know. I wasn't even there. And now there's no burial, no ashes. No closure. Only pain and anger and guilt. I will never be able to forgive myself for what has happened. I can only pray that where she is now, Cari can understand, and perhaps even forgive me. I never meant for this to happen. I thought I was doing the right thing. I was wrong.

PJ and Garrett

Dear Carla lived for 16 1/2 wonderful years. I always called her my 'Little Angel' because she was so good, so sweet, and so loving. I shall always love you my sweet little angel, and I thank you for all the joy you brought me, all the love you gave me, and all the wonderful things you taught me.

Rest in peace and joy, my little angel, my sweet Carla.
Your Audie misses you.

To a wonderful litle girl who was a joy to have known.
We love you sweet girl, and always will. We will meet you at the bridge in time.
Love,
Lori & Farley

Carlee, our beloved best friend and protector. Thank you for all the years of enjoyment you gave us. God bless you. We will miss you forever.

The best little doggie in the whole universe went to the Rainbow Bridge today! She is now with her daddy and he can hold her and play with her forever and forever

Dear Carlos,

You were with me for ten years. You taught me how to love. I'll always love you and miss you, my comfort and my joy. I love you.

Carly was my beloved "momma dog" and is now playing at the Bridge with her son Sandy-my canine soul mate. I miss them both so much.

George M. Spruill

Dearest Carly,

You were truly the "Best Dog in the Whole World" as I so often told you. My sweet brave puppy, I love you and miss you so much. You were my soulmate from the first time we laid eyes upon each other in the SPCA, and I have never stopped loving you. I miss you so much, baby. I feel as if my right arm is gone. Enjoy being with Sam and Rosie, and I will be with you when God calls me. see you on the Rainbow Bridge. Love, Mommy

You were one of a kind. Carlyle we will miss you. Look for Muffin. Love ya.

Karen McCool

When we found you at the dog pound, we were told you were scheduled to be put to sleep that same day, the look in your face seemed so gentle and in need of love, you were so happy to see us as you knew us from before. You were so big in size that at first we seemed scared you'd bite, but your face seemed to say the contrary. Within a few minutes we decided to adopt you and take you home. You've with us for so many years, thank for being the great dog you were. Thank you for being with all of us this long, thank you for playing with us when we were small and Gordo too. Thank you for greeting us when we'd get home, thank you for everything, we'll sure miss you but we know you'll be happy.
We love alot, so much you can't imagine. Love and kisses.

In honor of our beloved friend, "Casanova". He was born into this world on October 12, 1987, and passed into the summerland on November 18,2002. Casanova will always be carried in our hearts and we look forward to seeing him again. We know he is pain-free and happy now. In memory of our, 'Sir Gabalot the Purrbot'. We know his soul still shines brightly.

My friend, my companion, my protector.

We love you, Casca, more than words can say.
We miss you deeply and you'll always have a special place in our hearts.

Lucy and Kypros

Cassie was a joyful and loyal spirit to the very last day--she will be missed!

Casey wasn't a dog to me; he was my Baby. My heart is broken. I miss him so much that words alone cannot explain the void in my heart.

Carol Yennie

Casey was a beautiful black & gold short-hair torti, with wonderfully expressive golden eyes.

She was one of several cats in our home, but was the sweetest and most good-natured cat I've ever had in my life. She never raised a claw to a human.. and loved everyone that came in the door and sat down.

Casey went to sleep on December 17, 2002. My wife and I will miss her terribly, as will Sisko and Rio.

I miss you Case.

T. Whalen

Casey, what a special dog you are! Two weeks old when we got you, and by my side ever since--through illnesses and injuries, overseas moves and divorce, kids being born and leaving for college; you worried like my own mother when I was pregnant, carefully following me up and down stairs to make sure I was OK. You rode to the grocery, the library, kids' practices--all I had to do was jingle the keys. How I hated to see you grow old, and how I dreaded having to make the decision I made Friday. Please know how hard it was for me to watch you go, and how much I wish you were young and healthy again. I've asked St. Francis to take special care of you until I get there. Keep watching over your girls like you always did, and wait for me at the bridge. I miss you so much.

Sharon W

A good companion for 12 years.

Susan Phillips

It's been awhile since you left us Casey but we keep you in our hearts.
Buddy has never been the same since you left, you were his and he adored you. A part of us died that day you left, although we knew, and you did too it was your time to go. You never really got to know Kyle yet you hung in there until he came into this world, thank you for your guardianship during those 9 months. Although I don't miss all those times you would step on my feet, I do know we will all be together again someday, and until then..........Dobie Kisses to our beloved Casey.

Casey,
You were such a beautiful kitty--we miss and love you so much. We miss your beauty, your very long whiskers, and your demanding meow that said "I want attention and I want it now!". You were with us for only four short years, but you brought us so much joy and beauty. We impatiently wait for the day we will see you again and we will all be reunited. We know also that Levi is taking good care of you!

I just want to say that I still miss my baby even though it has been almost a year and I know that someday I will see my beloved Casey again. Mommy loves you baby

Tonight I had to put to sleep-quite suddenly-my most beloved companion and friend of close to 20 years. His name was Casey.

He may have LOOKED like an ordinary cat, but he was not. He was the best friend I have ever had. He always listened to what I had to say and never told me to be quiet or that he didn't have time to listen to me. He never had anything better to do than to curl up in my lap. He licked my arm when going to sleep every night beside me and he comforted me, even in my most recent disappointments-while he was not feeling well himself. He traveled with me everywhere I lived in New York and also traveled with me all the way here to Texas.

Tonight, the 20th of October 2002, was the hardest night of my life. Luckily I had my best HUMAN friend-Juliana-there to comfort me and hold my hand. I had to ease Casey's suffering by letting him go. He wanted to try to stay longer but I knew that more pain would be coming. I will never forget him and I know that if you are reading this that you know how much me meant to me. It is not common nowadays to find such a loyal companion and friend who's willing follow you anywhere.

The vet told me about The Rainbow Bridge while Casey was going to sleep. I feel comfort in knowing he is not alone. There are all these other "Caseys" out there too! I didn't know until I read it on this site, but the name "Casey" means warrior and I know that if he could have been he would still be here with me today.

Casey, wherever you are, "Momma STILL loves the Kitty!"

-Ruthann

Casey was my college companion and wonderful friend. He was my Valentine's gift from my husband in 1993 (we weren't married yet). When I got my basset hounds, he simply did not like sharing attention and regular fights ensued. Finally, in April he went to live with my parents; he was attached at the hip to my dad and loved it there. unfortunately, on Friday 9/20, he was diagnosed out of the blue with inoperable stomach cancer. I had to make the agonizing decision to send him to the bridge. I miss him so, and have cried every day. Casey, you were so loved and you can never be replaced. Save a place for us....we love you.

mom karla, dad dominic and 'grand-dogparents' joe and tootsie

Casey,
We all love you and miss you. We are sorry that we could not make you better, but we know you are happy and healthy now. You were a wonderful dog and will always be remembered and loved.

Linda, Dave & Katie

If tears could build a stairway...
and memories a lane......
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you HOME again!

Marsha

15 years through thick and thin, thanks for being there.
Sadly missed and loved always.

Jennifer

Casey was a good boy. I will miss him every day for the rest of my life.

Carol Yennie

To my sweet Casey,

You were the most precious animal I've ever had. Each moment in my life you brought joy. I am so sorry that I could not ease your pain and find a cure for your rare disease. Know that I am with you always and I love you and I will always for the rest of my life. It's so hard to live without you but we will meet again in heaven where I know you can live the life you couldn't live here on earth.

Sara

Casey was such a kind, gentle, loving animal. We loved her very, very much. She brought much happiness to our lives and we will never forget her!

Tricia & Jessica Berry

Always in our hearts. We miss you terribly but feel you with us. Please know how much you are loved. Peace always to you, rest in the sunshine and never feel the storms.

Beth and Kathie

Casey you joined the rest of our pals in heaven. I miss you so much but I know you in good hands. I'll never forget the years we had together especially the last 4 months. Goodbye my friend.

Emmy Garcia

Casey, you beautiful, Big Red! You are missed and deeply loved. You were our first and you are still in our hearts. We think of you always and speak of you often. Remember little Jason? He has your collar and your picture that we got in the Ozarks. You were a wonderful pet and companion and Dad loved you so much. You were his "Old Buddy" and he's never gotten over the joy you brought into our lives. Your little sister Hannah came there about 2 weeks ago. I hope you are helping her along and seeing that she is happy. Please take care of her until we can get there. Please be looking for us on the horizon as we will one day come to you and we will then live together for all eternity. Love and hugs in bushels you big, beautiful boy. Love abundantly, Dad and Mom

Gardening will never be the same my friend or walks into the woods. No more sniffing flowers or eating all my thyme. But the fond memories of you will linger till we meet again. I will always hear you footsteps. Take care my little friend
I love you...........

Pam

Good bye my sweet Casey, I will miss you very much and I will pray that you go to the Rainbow where all the dogs go to be together again .

Molley

Casey, you helped Caroline and I get through so many tough times. We will be together again one day. Rest now, be happy and whole again my friend. Love Mommy and Daddy.

Casey...you are a wonderful treasure in my life. I will never forget the day that I begged and pleaded and cried to bring you home. You were such a tiny little thing. I know now that you are healthy and happy again. You are healed and can do all of your favorite things again. I will see you again at the Bridge. Have fun with all of your new friends.

Dawn G

Casey was strong in mind, body and will. He fought up until his very last day. He brought lots of laughter and love into our home. I will never forget his soft ears and his beautiful face. He had spots all over, even on the roof of his mouth! I thank him for gracing our lives and comforting me when I needed him. We did the same for him in his time of need. Lots of love to you, Casey!

Dena & Bill Matthews

Casey stands for "warrior", and that is what she is to me. 13 years of love, protection, slobber, big paws and happy dog smiles. I can't voice how incredible she was or how much she changed me life. To put in words what I feel for her is almost insulting, she was my everything. I have weathered many things in my life, yet none compare to how I feel now that she is gone. I only wish to see her once again, so that I can feel her in my arms and not let her go. NOTHING in my life has ever been as loyal as her. I don't think the pain I feel is ever going to go away, I just want to be with my baby once again.

Elena

Casey- you will be missed - words can not say how much we will miss you - you will no longer feel pain

Mike, Jackie, Brandon

Casper the Cat
In our hearts you'll always be,
In our minds you are pain free.
We loved you with all our heart,
And now we know that we must part.
We've loved and cherished you like no other,
And we know one day we'll be together.
We will miss you everyday,
But we know you'll be watching from not so far away.
We will always hear your howl and bark,
You were a special friend with a unique spark.
We loved you then and we love you now,
We will always hear your cute meow.
You spoke to us with your voice and eye's,
And we will always see you in the white clouds in the sky.
We will always love you and we will never forget,
You loved us unconditionally, our baby, our pet.

Kim Albright

For Casper, whose loving family sent him on to The Rainbow Bridge on the same day that we had to let our own dog go. Peaceful journey, Casper. If you need some large friends when you get there, look for Merlin and Aries. We're sure they'll be happy to hang out with you.

Love,
Tracey, Dennis and Jordan

A truly beautiful cat, inside and out. She will be greatly missed.

Michael and Kathleen Adkins

To Casper:

You were my special friend. You found me one day in the street and never let me go despite our attempts to find your real owners. We went through a lot together and had 16 wonderful years. I am convinced that God sent you to me to teach me many of lifes important lessons. Taking you on that last walk was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but watching you suffer with the ailments of old age was worse. When you looked into my eyes and gave me one last kiss goodbye, I knew I was doing the right thing for you. Wendy and I miss you. She's never been an "only" dog before. She carries your leash all over the house and sleeps with it every night.

I know you are at the Rainbow Bridge, healthy and whole, with your buddies who went before you. Brunzi, Chaos, Tinker, Slogan and George. I know you are all playing together and having a wonderful time. Brunzi, keep your drool to yourself!

We love you little buddy!

Be at peace.

Love, Mom (Dori), Rianne and Wendy

My little angel Casper, I miss you so very much.
Mommy's special boy, you will live in my heart forever. May God and his angels have you in their care.

Argie Blanco

Casper was a medical project dog who gave a part of her life to medical research. When project was finished our vet returned many of the dogs to health and we helped to find homes for them. Casper went to schools and hospitals and lived at the vet clinic before coming to live with us & our other 4 legged children in 1997. She loved the country and patrolled her area like clockwork. Unfortunately she got cancer and we relieved her pain in Feb. She will remain in many peoples hearts not only for her devotion and love but also for her contribution in helping man. She is sorely missed by us and 6 other loving companions here in our home.

Peggy & Harmon Everett

Casscat -- my first True Love -- the one who taught me that love could be unconditional, and that if I was valuable to no one else, I was valuable to you. You were my Stalwart Kitty, my strong Georgia Tank, my Emerald Eyes. You always will be. I can still feel your head tucked beneath my chin and your 'arms' around my neck as you lay on my chest (nevermind those claws kneading at my skin . . . ). You were a wise soul, you looked at me as if I were the most beautiful thing you could ever see, and you yourself were the most gorgeous Kitty Girl and most Precious One I have ever seen. I miss you daily, our little rituals. My special knowledge of your boundaries -- the exact moment when one pet more would be too many and a bite would follow -- never hurtful, just a way of communicating. You were my ideal Cat. I will treasure forever the final day and night I spent with you, alone, in the guest room, and hope that you gained comfort from that, though you were in increasing pain and helplessness from renal failure. And when I wrapped you in the blanket and held you against me, your head against my heart, as Jim drove us to the vet's first thing the next morning, when it was clear you HAD to go, that you were suffering -- I hope you could feel the love I was I feeling for you. You went quickly, and it was a blessing, but I will never forget how hard it was to leave you. You are with Georgie now, though I suppose you never cared for her much. But you trusted her, so I hope you are friendly. Emmeline missed you very much - she misses having another cat to lie in wait for, and to show off for. My sweet baby -- my first baby -- I love you always and know I can never replace you. Wherever you are, imagine us sniffing faces, and know that there will never be another Casscat.

An Ode To Cassandra Marie
(b. 7/4/84; d. 7/15/00)


One half the whole - yin and yang,
With hair so soft and black of night.
Heaven sent and heaven bound,
With wings of gold and taking flight.

I honour you, your love so true,
Mourn for the day you did depart.
Find comfort this, together we,
Eventually,
Never, never 'gain to part.

Think ye back to that fateful day,
The day our introduction.
One thought to mind, an answered prayer,
A journey and production.

Your joy of life, no boundaries,
Manifest for all to see.
Exploring all along your path,
Not a life of drudgery.

How your eyes did twinkle vividly,
With each new expedition.
Roaming here and there, then here again
Resting not until cognition.

A game you'd make of hunting,
The prey in your own back yard.
Those bugs - they never had a chance,
You were always on your guard.

Your brothers and your sisters;
I pray they fared as well.
That happy lives they too did live,
Such as you and your wagging tail.

With a voice so full and boisterous,
The talks we once allowed.
My little girl so excitedly,
Did make me very proud.

Others may have seen a lesser,
'Tween the two of us days past.
But God and I here down below,
See you're of a special caste.

Comparisons cannot be made,
Whence this world you did become,
God took you from without the mold,
Discontinuous,
None other here to ever come.

I see you as the better,
Of the pair of us back then.
And ask you now be comforted,
Till the day we meet again.

For rest, my pet, is well deserved,
You had a long, long run at life.
You've earned a break, rejuvenate,
Take a breather from all strife.

Accepting that all things must pass,
'Tis uneasy all the same.
For memories come flooding back,
And I whisper your sweet name.

To honour you is what I'll do,
And keep your memory alive.
For together again, I know we'll be,
When at Home, I do arrive.

Cassie the light of my life. She always greeted us with a happy wiggle of her little stumie tail. She loved to play with her toys and she knew the names of all her toys. She played soccer in the back yard, boy was she fast we missed her so much, the love for her is ever lasting. I know we will she her again, but the hurt is so big and the tears just wont stop. We love you cassie, your mommie and daddy p.s. tell Kesha we miss her too and love her very much also. Bye for now.

Diana Weisz

Cassie was with us for 15 yrs. She lived a great life. We will always remember those beautiful brown eyes of hers. It won't be the same without her around. We love you, Cassie.

Ken, Stephanie, Jason Warnock

She was our special baby.
She only had love for everyone.
Our hearts are breaking, but we know we shall meet again
and she will guide us to our loved ones on the other side
Miss you sweetheart.
Dad & Mum

Cassie was a beautiful and devoted companion. She was a very friendly dog, and loved people. Although, I have no children, she was very good with them. The children in our neighborhood used to knock on the door, and ask if Cassie could come out and play. The children called her "the talking dog" because she had a very vocal, but friendly way of greeting people when she saw them. She became very ill, and I had to put her down. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of her.

Dawn Case

Words can not express my loss.

Tami Bagby

No dog was loved more or loved more...

Larry & Gail

Dear Cassie,

We will always remember you and the great times we had.
You were so playful and happy right to the end. We loved to play chase games around the circle in the house. You sometimes even let us catch you. Tug of war was one of your best games with Brenna. We would laugh so hard when you and Brenna would play hiding...Brenna under the blanket and you naughing on her to get your toy. Cassie you hold a special place in our hearts because you were that dog who would have held on to the very end . But you were in pain and suffering , so we did the best thing for you. We still here your paws clicking on the tile even though you are not there. Sorry we couldn't do more for you but heaven wanted you. so we will always remember you and see you when we get there.
Love you so,
Your family and best friends

You were our best friend, Moose. We will love you forever and you will NEVER be replaced. Wait for us at the Bridge. We will meet again. Love, your family

In August of 1998, I lost my four legged child, my Catfish. Catfish was a yellow Labrador and the love of my life. During his eleven years, he and I wrote many poems together and I mean together. I never wrote any poetry until Catfish came into my life. I use to tell everyone that he sent them to me. I did not know that Catfish had cancer until a month before he passed away, I was heart broken. About two weeks after he had died, I was sitting outside and I just said out loud, "Catfish,

Together Again

There's a special place, where I wait,
Right inside of Heaven's Gate.
I remain here by choice,
To be near to hear your voice.
All my suffering is now gone,
It's quite beautiful here at my new home.
The only sorrow that I know,
Is that you are grieving so.
I know right now things to you seem gray,
But, in time your pain will fade away.
I promise you my treasured friend,
That we will be together again.
For when your time on earth is through,
I will come running to welcome you.

Never a greater source of pure joy and delight existed. Rest in peace our dear "Little Miss." Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The most loyal, loving friend I've ever known. I miss him so.

Ron Clayton

Cato,
Thank you for the joy and energy you gave to us every day of your life. You added the "me, too," to our tales of two kitties. The is a deafening silence, now, without you. I count the days until we are together, again, in the Animal Division of Heaven. A host of Angels sing Thee to Thy rest, my sweet clown.

Katharine

Thank you sweet Cayman, for gracing us with so much joy during the six years you were with us. Though the time was brief, you will forever be a part of us. We know you are not feeling your pain anymore and are watching over us each and every day. We pray that we will see you again and we can cross the Rainbow Bridge together. Until then, play, chase mice, and enjoy all of the friends you are making. We miss you and love you so very much!

We miss you, dear friend. You will always remain in our hearts.

Carol C

To my beloved, faithful, lifelong companion and very best friend forever... I love you, miss you, and cannot wait until I see you again! God bless you for the joy you have brought me!

Suzanne O'Brien

CBOE, you were my best friend and went through so much with me and so many moves over our 16 years together. We lived everywhere from KY - OK - to Alaska! You never seemed to mind, you just went with the flow. When you were 5, you wanted a brother, now Kitten is 16 and is doing fine - he has never gotten close to any of our other cats the way he was with you. You are not forgotten, your ashes grace the mantel and your gentle spirit still resides here. Dallas misses you so much, although we now have 5 cats, none of them are his 'lap cat' the way that you were. Although it's been almost 4 years since you died, there's still a big hole in my heart where you were - I fill it with memories of you and know that you are happy over the rainbow bridge. We'll see you there.

Beth

My dear Corral Cat (C. C.). Although I only used to feed you at a ranch and you were never in my home, I always loved you as my own furbaby. I was so terribly hurt at having heard of your passing. I miss you & am looking forward to crossing the Rainbow Bridge with you someday soon my C. C.

Cy Sawyer

You were my first "child." You taught me so much about responsibility and love. You will be missed here on earth, but I know you will be waiting for me in a much better place. Until then, I know you will always "be with me."

Janine

C.D. was beautiful inside and out, my companion and best friend, loving, smart and deeply missed.

Betty Hahn

My Ceasar,

You were my first pet, and we grew up together. I will always love you. You are the best cat ever. Even though you have been at the bridge for a long time, not one day goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you, sweetheart.

Ibby

Wow, where do I begin. I found you on a farm that was burned down by arsonists and you were all of 5 pounds. I found you with your sister Beanie who had passed years ago. I know you are with her again. You were so loving and I took you home to find you a new home and you worked your way into my heart and here you stayed for 23 years. You were a good girl Cecil, all the way up to the end. I only wish I had more patience with you, I am truly sorry for that. I also wish I could have been there when you crossed over, but maybe you planned it that way. You were always such a good little girl and we all truly miss you. The birds and Patches miss you too as you were such an inspiration to us all. We will meet you over the bridge when our time comes.

With love,

Rich and the crew.....

Avery special kitty; we were not ready for you to go and miss you so.

Sarah & Jay Kurts

Last Thursday I had to give blood, grade kids work, run home at lunch and drop off Cedar to the vets to have the usual tumors removed from her head. Since she had three tumors in her head I said lets remove all three so she doesn't have to go through with this again. Little did I know that this operation would kill her and she would suffer for five days before she died. Although I went down Saturday to the vets to get the bandage remove and brought her home. She didn't do well from that day on.

She cried for the days every so often and didn't eat. Sunday I knew she was doing bad and asked my mom to care for her everyday and encourage her to eat and drink water. She did come out but wouldn't eat or drink. I took her again to the vets on Monday and Tuesday for extra care.

Tuesday night I put her next to me on my bed as she had laid for the past six years but she was uncomfortable. So I brought her in my office and laid her down and a soft blanket and laid by her on the couch with my hand on her comforting her. Talk to her. But at around 1 in the morning she was crying very hard and I kept saying that I loved her and she took two long breaths and died. I started crying and crying and crying. I'm a 48 year old guy.

I didn't sleep that night. I felt sooooo bad.

I got up the next morning and knew I had to bury my little girl. Went to a local store and bought a large plastic container and put a clean white towel in the container. Placed her in there container and put the towel around her except for her face. She never like having her face under the covers. I put a glass container in the coffin with instruction who ever may find her in the future to rebury her or don't disturb the hollow grounds. I also enclosed a love verse. I then dug a five foot grave and placed her remains in the base and then sadly covered her up. My mom was there and said the lords prayer.

I will miss that little girl so much. Her sleeping next to me. Greeting me when I came home. Walking up in the tree. Taking walks with my dog. Just a sweet soul.

Cedar I love you.

Daddy

He was my best friend.

Sanchal Tyacke

To my girl Celli Marie, the most gentle loving companion one could ever hope to have. We were together 11 years, but it seemed like yesterday I brought home that little boxer pup. I still look for you when I come home somehow wishing you would run up to me like you always did. I think about you every single day, especially your birthday that just passed was the lonliest day I could ever imagine. My love for you only grows stronger and I do believe we will be together again one day. All my love to you Mommy

Cephas, I miss you so much. I have memories of you and they stand out vividly in my mind. I see your face early in the morning coming up close to mine to let me know you were awake. You would very gently take your sharp nailed paw and brush gently through my hair. I would say, "okay cephee pretty soon". You would jump down off the bed perched beside it and wait patiently until I was ready to get up. I would put your food before you, not that you wanted it just then. You just wouldn't go out for your morning walk til it was there. Then you would go for your walk.

My kind neighbors, who never squeeled that I let you run loose in an adult community would watch you and tell me where you would go. Then I would see you coming up the backyard lawns of the homes. I see you coming through and ache to see you really there. You would very calmly, and because of your 15 years, very slowly come home for your breakfast. You had to pass by the Fox Terrier who would yap wildly at you. But you knew just how far you could be away from him - just two feet - teasing the heck out of him. You just walked by confidently with your fluffy tail raised high and never looking to the left or right going serenely by the irate Foxy towards home and then I would let you in for your breakfast.

I miss seeing you in your favorite cool spots around the house. I believe in the rainbow bridge. I don't know how I could love a pet as much as I loved you and not ever see you again. You were my companion and consolation after a divorce. You were such a comfort. You loved me unconditionally, something by ex husband could not do. I guess only God and pets can do that. You were independent and brave right up to the end. You literally starved to death. You did not want me to see you lifeless so you went somewhere to go to the rainbow bridge and wait for me. I know you are there. No matter how hard I looked for your sweet little body, I could not find you. You were so weak I can't imagine where you went but you are free now of all pain and discomfort. At night you would jump up on my bed and wait for me to stroke your little head. To say "night, night Cephee. Go lie down" and that was your cue to go lie down next to me I miss you terribly. I love you my sweet little kitty. Night, night Cephee. See you in the morning!! Florence

We will miss you "C" You are a wonderful friend!! Shane, Faith, Peaches, & Roxy

Our baby Marsha (a short hair champion Chihuahua) came to our home after being a retired show dog. She loved all the attention she would get. She was a friend who followed me 24 hours a day. What ever I was doing she was interested in doing it with me. She was my partner as I worked at the computer she would sit in a drawer next to me. She was so smart. I miss my shadow as I haven't taken a bath alone since this dog came into the house ... and she hasn't been there lately. She always wanted to protect Jim and I. I really think she saw us as her Mom and daddy. And we saw her as our little Baby as we have no children. Because she had allergies we taught her to sneeze upon command. All you would have to say is Marsha sneeze honey, blow. And she would sneeze. She could say I love you and mamma (Yes this is true). You would not believe the expressions on peoples faces when they heard her. When it was potty time she would let my husband know and she would go bye him and lick his nose. Then they, Hubby, Marsha, Molly and Katy would March to the whistle of "Bridge over the River Qui. They would follow behind my husband, Marsha being the leader. When he would stop. They would all stop until he began whistling again. It was so adorable. The girls have lost the majorette and don't quite know what to do know. They keep looking for her. When were going bye bye in the car, she would dance and shake when Jim would jingle his keys? Despite her seizures she had a great disposition and took her medicine well, every morning and evening. She never pulled away. She would lift up her lip as though she knew we were doing this to help her. We both have physical problems and this dog was always there to give us love. Marsha also was a great sport and let us dress her up in her princess outfit or her Christmas bows and fancy hats. She had many nick names, Agnes dia, our little lamb of God, Marshy, Marsha, Miss Mello, Sweet Pea, Punkin, clay dog, our little apple head, our little egg head. "Master of material" as she could take a small blanket and twist and turn and nest right in it. "Sunshine" was a perfect name as she loved sitting in the sunshine inside or outside by the pool in her sombrero. She loved floating on the raft in the pool and kept mamma company when I was doing my exercises.
The day she died I was holding her paw and I felt her curl her paw up (like she did when she was holding a bone) it was a though she wanted me to hold her hand. I would do anything to hold her again and see her smile. Oh yes dogs smile. I will never forget her. This beautiful dog died in her sleep, in her bassinet and was as beautiful when she died as she was when she was alive. I thank God for allowing us to have such a beautiful creature during our lifetime. I ask God to bless P and M. H******** who gave us this beautiful baby. I ask the angels in heaven to hold her in the palm of their hand in case she is afraid, tell her mamas and daddy will be coming soon and we would love for her to greet us with her wagging tail and big smile. She was as beautiful the day she died as she was the day We received her. She will remain in our heart forever.

To Chablis, my "best boy," whose cold nose woke me up in time for my skating lessons, who always had to check on me several times during the night to make sure I was OK, who raised a love for tuna to a fine art--I will always remember you and miss morning snuggles with you.

A tribute to Chaco,
our loving sweet soul

He came into our lives with a lick & a snuggle
arising from the hay,
with a minimum of trouble

A shepherd mix with a sweet disposition
tan & white with a black nose & muzzle,
we picked him out as a quicky decision

At only ten weeks of age a brother for Maui
did we say,
to home he did travel,
though this Maui didn't expect at the end of the day

To him Maui immediately showed a fancy
though shocked as Chaco rushed through the door,
to Maui's food bowl and made him quite ancy

Maui showed Chaco the ropes as they started to play
like how to climb stairs,
and where to sleep at the end of the day

Though their ages were the same from two different litters
their relationship grew,
and never was bitter

They squabbled and fussed
as brothers often do,
but settled their differences without much of a muss

They loved being brushed and ran out the door
Chaco lifted his paw,
& conveyed that he wanted some more

We taught them to lift a paw and
how not to guzzle
Chaco learned well,
& looked cute by resting his muzzle

To the Outer Banks five times did they go
anticipating their trips,
traveling the ten hours together like pros

They loved the ocean, the boats and the air
from Corolla to Hatteras,
of this Chaco was aware

They shared games and treats
with nary a problem,
on through the years
we were amused by their feats

After 13 1/2 years
Chaco started to slow
he developed a lipoma,
that became quite a blow

His spirit never waning as he went to the vet, the mass had kept growing,
and with surgery had lost the bet

Chaco we love you our loving sweet soul,
we always will miss,
you made our lives always full Greg & Diana Furia-Mashas

A friend to the sick and needy, man and animal. My best friend. The best pet I ever knew.

Jim Farris

Thank you Chai Tai for 131/2 wonderful years of love. You have left paw prints in my heart forever. From Mommy and Daddy

Mary Ann Baker

I feel blessed having a Golden Retriever live for 16 years. Today was the most difficult day of my life. After weeks of suffering and trips to the vet we decided it was time to relieve her of her pain. Chamonix or Shammy was a true Golden. I love her and will miss her deeply.

Bruce Briggs

Champ,
You were the most loving and loyal companion that we've ever had. Our hearts are broken that you were taken so soon from us. We miss you terribly and are only consoled in the knowledge that you are not suffering any longer. We talk about our memories of you every day, and will never forget what a character you were! We know that you are with Clancey and Gerri and all the others that have crossed the bridge before you, chasing squirrels and lounging in the warm sunshine. Look for us when it is our time to cross over. We love you.
Mom, Dad, Greg and "sister" Babe

Champ, you were the best dog there is. After 8 years of abandonment and abuse, years of going hungry and hardly having any human affection or kindness, you turned out to be loyal, smart and affectionate. Day after day you showed me your gratitude for rescuing you. You were never angry, never mean, and only wanted affection and companionship - more than I did, or could have, given you. You overcame all odds and lived till a ripe old age even though death knocked at your door at least four times in your life. I was blessed enough to be a part of that life and have you as a part of mine. When I took you from that old abandoned junkyard I never dreamed you would turn out to be such an intelligent and true companion. Thank you for your devotion and love, for your trust and loyalty. I hope my fight to keep you with me at the end - the 5 months of daily subQ fuilds - wasn't too uncomfortable for you. I realize now that I did it for me because I didn't want to lose you. I thank my parents for making that decision on New Year's Day (while I was out of state) and taking you for your final car ride, but I am so sorry I couldn't be with you in the end. You will never be forgotten. You truly are the best dog I ever knew.

Karen

My heart is broken into a million pieces. I had to make the decision to lay Champ to rest. Champ was a dog who loved everyone, and every animal he met. Always welcoming in new dogs into our home that needed shelter, he was there letting them know they were welcome. Such a lover and giver. He gave all of his life and now I am lost without him. I hated to have to make the decision to let him go. I hope he understands, because I do not! He would be the one to hold my hand if he were here now and kiss me on the cheek. My kindred spirit. He was an angel on earth and now in heaven. I love you Champ and always will. I am so sorry that I had to let you go. Please understand I could not let you suffer but go softly. All my love to you. Now you are playing with your sisters, Mandy and Patience. They will be with you on Rainbow bridge until I can come and be there to cross over with you. I will wait to hold you all in my arms again and than never let you go!

Audrey Swarz

Champ,

Mr. Proud Man, as I always refer to you because you have that strong trusted personality. Don't worry Mom, I got everything under control. I am in charge! Champ, Mom & Dad missed you terribly and I still pretend that you and Popcorn is still around us. I know you wanted to come home that day when you got struck by a car, I just wish that you stay put and waited till Mom & Dad finds a house so we can all be together, I missed taking you to the dog park w/ Popcorn and also, calling you in the evening to get to bed.
Champ, you will always be in our hearts and I know you always look after us, where ever you are, and that someday, we will chase each other in the rainbow fields.

Love you forever,
Mom & Dad

Champion Benway's Mystic Star was a very special little dog with a very big heart. She was a Therapy dog. She had worked with people with Alzheimer's and also worked with abused and neglected kids at the Orange wood home for kids.
She died two days after her 9 puppies were born. She will be greatly missed.

Golda

In memory of Kiri, who loved all things, both great and small. You were my comfort in the darkest of times, and my joy in the brightest. Rest sweetly.

Gayle Nittler

The most loved cat ever. My beloved baby, the little love of my life, my feline soulmate. The light has gone out of my life. I know we will be together one day, my precious darling, and this time it will be forever. You joined all the other kitties we have loved and lost throughout the years, your best buddies Brandy and Thai, dear Pendragon, Sammy, Spooky, Spatz, Sunny and all the rest. I love you, baby. You are not a cat. You are my child.

Until I can hold you in my arms forever, my beloved, I will hold you in my heart.

Sue

You are in a very special now but you will be with us forever.

Rick & Judy Vonderheide

Chance you were the light of my life, you kept me strong when I was weak, you made me happy when I was sad, you were my baby. I wish that I could have been there when you passed away, so that you would not have been alone. I love you more than anything in the world. Pug missed you so much, although you and him tried to fight a lot, he loved you so much, after you passed away he sat at your gate and looked so sad. I am sorry that we could not have buried you in a box or something, but I did not want to encage you in something, instead we wrapped you in warm blankets and then in plastic to keep out bugs. I am sorry that we had to put those powders on you, but it is to keep other animals from digging you up. I hope you like the flower that I put on your grave, when I look out my bedroom window and see that pretty flower it reminds me of just how adorable you were. You gave me, mom and dad five excellent years. You brought so much joy. I remember when you were just a little baby, I would sit outside all day and hold you and pet you. I held you at night until you were asleep then I would take and put you in your house. I miss those big bear hugs that you would give and having to clean my glasses because you licked all over them. I miss the soft silky feel of you, and having to bath you every time it rained because you would just get so muddy, running through the rain. I miss having to get out the shovel and the poop bucket every week and cleaning up after you. Mom and dad also miss you. They both were very upset when you died. I hope that you and pug are having fun, playing up there at the Rainbow Bridge, I bet it is beautiful. I still Love you Chance, even though you are gone, I still have our memories. I hope most of all that you can hear now, at your new home at the Rainbow Bridge, because you deserve it. Look after your brother (Pug). Before he died he looked all over the yard for you. We Love you Chance, Bye my precious baby.

"If Tears could build a stairway, And Memories a trail, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again"

Love your mommy, Lorea

Dearest Chance,

You stuck by me through nine months of a horrendous pregnancy, never leaving my bedside. When the twins were born, you would run to them when they cried. You truly were their second mom! I still remember you jumping on our shoulders as we changed and bathed our little ones!

I miss having you sleep on my pillow at night. You haven't even been gone 12 hours, and already I am sleepless and distraught. Oh, how I miss you, Chance! Sitting here at the computer isn't the same without your drool every where! And who will share my 1/2 & 1/2 cream tomorrow while I have my coffee at 5:30 am?

Please know that I love you, Chance! I still cannot believe that someone had so much fear in their heart that they could not slow down, or stop the car, after they hit you right in front of me today. I'm praying to St. Anthony that he has a special place for you right now!!

I love you, Chance the Cat! BB and L&L!

Kristin

A tribute to our little dog "Chance" Thank you for bringing so much joy and love into our lives for the past 11 years. You came into our lives and stole our hearts with your faithful and loving companionship and left us with stealing our hearts once again.
We love you Chaney Dog and you will live on in hearts forever.

Good bye our little dog,

XOXOX Love,
Mommy and Daddy

P.S. Maizie, Spice Girl and Jelly send a big kiss too!

My Chance died as the result of abuse. When he was a year old, a man had him for seven weeks. In that seven weeks my Chance suffered terribly at the hands of the most ignorant man I've ever met. He single-handedly destroyed a loving and sweet dog and turned him into an untrusting and scared dog. In the five years since I got him back, Chance and I worked hard to try and build the simple trust that he needed to go through each day. It took four years for him to remember how to wag his tail. BUT he never ever trusted me. We went through training and worked hard to give Chance back the happiness that that man took from him. For a very brief time I think Chance was happy. Chance had to be put to sleep because in the end the abuse was stronger than he was. People need to understand that abuse of an innocent animal is the absolute worst thing that you could possible do. It destroys the spirit of that animal and they can never be brought back completely, they never trust again------not really. His two sisters loved him and they miss him. They always wait for him to jump out of the van so they can all go and play but they will have to wait a while longer and they'll all see each other again. I miss Chance too, a great deal.....my heart is hurting from the loss of the friend that I'll miss forever. Ruby and Kavik miss him too. Good-bye Chance, I know that you are free now of all the hurt you can wag your tail every day now.....I love you Buddy. Be happy!

She owned my heart and gave me so many life lessons. I can't imagine how I am going to survive without her. She was gracious, loving, and loyal. She was truly the biggest blessing I've ever had.

Liese Averbach

I just want to say I know my dog will be waiting to greet me in heaven and comfort me in death, like she comforted me in life. I will miss her for the rest of my life.

Lisa Demers

We will never forget you . We love you.

Linda Mojica & Aaron Meyers

To Chang,

My friend, now and forever. Thank you for almost 22 years of friendship, comfort, and love. You're always in my heart.

Debbie Cornett

Tonight I mourn the passing of more than my friend and companion. Missing from me now is a part of my life that I can't ever replace. Chao's presence in my life not only brought love and joy into my life but filled my life with happiness. Whether happy or sad she could brighten any day. So many times she picked me up when I was at my lowest and other times she made a great day memorable. To have a life filled with friends that are truly able to touch a human life the way a dog, my Chao, was able to touch mine, is the ultimate blessing from the Lord above. I miss her now, tomorrow and always.

"Charc", Abandoned at one year and facing certain death, was rescued and, became my baby, my road dog, my spark, full of spirit and life. She will be deeply missed forever.

John Barbeau

I only had Charismatic for about 6 months, but he was a very nice cat to have around. He had a gentle and comforting way about him. He was a very handsome cat who had graced the show ring only 2 months before his passing and who needed only one more ribbon to become a champion. Many people stopped to admire him and some said he looked like a cat in a magazine. One person said he should have been named Winston Churchill, as he had the same presence. He was not demanding, but after I gave him part of my roast beef sandwich as a treat, after that he always would meow to eat from my meal at home. One day he just stopped eating. I rushed him to the vet who said he was seriously ill. She thought he was getting better, but after a week of forcing fluids, food and meds, I thought he was getting worse so I sought another opinion. He was diagnosed with FIP, a somewhat rare and mysterious feline ailment which is always fatal. The vet advised he be put to sleep as he was suffering and I agreed. The diagnosis was confirmed on necropsy. I was shattered. He was in his own kennel the entire time I had him but for very brief contact with one other cat. The vet said cats who develop FIP do so due to a weak immune system and genetic inclination and half the cat who develop such are Persians. I feel very badly that such a harsh fate fell upon such a gentle, sweet and beautiful cat. I still have not been able to bring myself to clean out his kennel, throw out his uneaten dry food or his litter box. Maybe one day I will understand why such terrible things have to happen - if there is any reason for such. Goodbye sweet furbaby. There were so many unfulfilled dreams left by your passing.

Cynthia Sinclair

There will be another

Ian

Char-Lee, your physical presence may be absent, but our memories of all your love and energy will be with us forever. There wasn't a life you touched that didn't feel the depth and strength of your love. After 17 1/2 years of giving to us, we gave you peace by putting you quietly to sleep. It was the hardest thing your dad and I ever had to do We know you are without pain now and with Uncle and in another pair of loving, caring hands. Hope Uncle gave you your cookie.

Char-Lee, we will love you forever and will never forget the undying love you gave us.

LOVU

MOM and DAD

I give thanks for the time I was given, to know and love this sweet, wonderful animal. He will be remembered often and fondly. Charlotte Hampton

I got Charlie when he was 6 weeks old and he was my instant and constant friend. He had the best personality and disposition of any cat I've ever known. He was so sweet and loving. He developed a high fever and three vets couldn't save him, and I had to have him put to sleep on Dec. 20, 2002. He was only 1 1/2 and the vets aren't sure what he had but said it could have been FIP. I miss him so much. He was my little boy, my precious little Charlie.

Charlie you brought so much love and loyalty to our family here on earth. I hope you are jumping and playing over the Bridge. Jersey and Fox miss you terribly,(no big bro to tease!) but know you are at peace and healthy again. Thanks for the good years buddy, and teaching me all about understanding pets. Momma misses you, as the whole gang does. We did our best for you Charlie as you always unfailingly did for us. You traveled the provinces with us from coast to coast, and that's how we will remember you..behind the wheel of life and beyond. Take care Bud. See you soon!

A True "Angel" from Heaven!!! Til we meet again. Mom

Charlie,
You were a sweet little dog. You always looked out for everyone, making sure that nothing bad happened to anyone. I will never forget how you would eagerly wait for me to get home from work. You will be missed so much but now you can run and chase your friend joey and josie. I know that you will be waiting for us at the rainbow bridge. Please keep little Josie company, she needs someone to snuggle with.
I love you and miss you, Chucky!!!
Sarah

Beloved friend & devoted companion, 06/01/91 - 10/11/02 Reluctantly returned to the angels - dance with joy - no more struggling to breath, no more heart pains or joint pains. Your exuberance for life and all it had to offer, your love, compassion, forgiveness, joy, sense of humor, and incredible ability to charm even the hardest of hearts, taught me more about how to live, than any human could. The only thing I'd change, would be to wish we'd had more time together. You are missed terribly.

Diane

Today we lost our Guinea Pig, Charlie. She was such a great pet because she entertained us when she was young by running in circles and through obstacle courses that Jesse made for her. She would always squeak when you walked into the room for a treat and loved attention and being petted on the nose. We will miss her greatly and love her very much. We know now that she is no longer sad and feeling badly and is watching us and will wait until we can see her and play with her again. Thank you Charlie for being a part of our lives. We will miss you.

Lots of Love from Jesse, Kara, Michael and Olivia XXX OOO

Dear Charlie, Thank you for the 17 years of special friendship. Maureen and I loved you and Misti very much (Charlie's mother 18 years) It broke our hearts to see how much you missed your mother when she could no longer stay with us. For our sake you gave us more time with you. Bye my friend, find Misti and we'll all meet again one day.
Love Maureen and Randy Casey

Charlie dog, you were around for a long, long time. We miss you so much. You've joined your Beagle brothers in a much better place. We know that you no longer hurt and aren't sick anymore. We know you're having a good time now in that meadow of peace and we'll all be together again someday. We miss you Chucker. Love, Mommy, Daddy and Ryan

I will miss my beloved horse, Charlie, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 16 July, 2002. I know he was met by Kisha, my precious Paint mare, who crossed in 1995, and many of my furred and feathered loves. Go in peace, dear heart...until I meet you there...thank you for bringing your love into my life.

Sue

Charlie, you are missed so much. I know you are in a better place. I know you wanted to go. It was still so hard to watch you take your last breath. I know we will be together again and you will be my little shadow again. Wait for me. I know you are in no more pain and you can see and hear again. I love you so much. This is not good bye. You are with me in my heart forever. I couldn't have asked for a better dog than you were. We were together 18 years. It is lonely without you but I am happy you are free of all the pain and misery you were in. Charlie.......I LOVE YOU!!!!!! Love, Mom

Charlie

Charlie was a very special dog - I think dogs like him happen only once in a lifetime. He was one of those dogs that had a special something that made everyone love him. My neighbors who were not "pet people" kept dog biscuits in their homes for Charlie and said they would love to have a dog if it would be one just like him. I feel very fortunate to have had Charlie be part of my life.

He came to us when he was 6 months old - from the dog pound. My mother was "just looking" for a dog for me - not intending to come home with a dog that day. I think Charlie knew we were supposed to be his family. When my mom came by his cage, he sat up and begged and handed my mom his paw. When she inquired about him, she was told that he would be euthanized the next day. Needless to say, she brought him home. He quickly became part of the family and part of our hearts.

When I moved out of my parents house and into my own home, Charlie came with me. He was my guardian and friend. He made the little things so much more special. He was a source of company when I was hanging out at the house or working in the yard. In the two weeks he's been gone, the house seems empty, even though I have two other dogs.

To my furry dog, I love you and you will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope your pain is now gone and that you are chasing squirrels somewhere up in heaven.

Danielle

We lost our baby girl, Charlie, at 5pm April 12,2002 she was 14. We found her in our alley when she was 6 wks old, a tiny white furball. Someone had put her there in a box(God, maybe?) It was love at first sight for my son and I, but my husband did not want a dog, a terrible fight ensued, with me winning to keep her, just 1 short day later I found him cuddling her, telling her how much he loved her. She was his baby from then on. I can't imagine what our lives would have been like without her and now I cant imagine our life without her. The joy and happiness that she brought to our family was neverending...and we rejoiced everyday with her in our lives. She was beautiful, strong, noble and loyal, and above all she had the kindest, gentlest soul I have ever known. Words cannot express the grief and sorrow we feel, Charlie, baby girl, I know we will meet again one day and that day will be one of the happiest days in my life. God speed to you, dear dear puppy. Much Love Liz, Carl and Steven.

I love you my best friend, you play and enjoy the freedom you so well deserve. I will see you heaven.

John and Chong Crawford

When we went to the petstore that day, we were just going there to look. We had no intention of getting a dog at all. When we went to the adoption days at the petstore, every dog in the place was barking loud, and scaring me a little too. Then we made our way over to Charlie's crate, where he was just laying down, not barking, and just being very calm and relaxed (unlike the other dogs). We thought, hey this dog doesn't seem to be too wild for our house. He doesn't seem like a bad dog at all. We saw this beagle lying down, with his black, white & brown fur, with black spots. And one little white spot right on the top of his head (a good spot to give him kisses). We asked the lady about him, and she said that he was a stray, and he seemed so calm and mellow (the type of dog that we could use). So me and my family just fell in love with him so we got him right then. Over the few 10 months that we have had Charlie, we have done several visits to the vet, because of some things that were wrong with Charlie! . He has cushing's disease and was helped a little, but then got worse. Now it's the 10th month that we've had him, and we found out that he has a cancerous tumor in him. We know that since his cushing's is bad, that he would not be able to make it through all of those tests and visits to the vet so many times for his cancer. So we decided that putting him to sleep, would be the only way to let him die without pain, and not have him suffer from cancer. Over the short and fun 10 months that we've had this dog, every day that we have had him, has been a fun, and exciting day. Even though he doesn't do all the things that other dogs do, he has been a joy to have. One Monday, when I am at school, Charlie will be put to sleep sometime that afternoon. And even though he will be gone in the physical world, he will be present and alive always in my heart. Even though he is put to sleep, he will wake up again when I see him in my mind, see him in my memory of him, and meet him in heaven.

Michael

Charlie remember I'll always love you.

Wanda

My dog Charlie taught me how to love. I intend to honor his life by passing this love on.

Ellen Klein

Charlie, you will be missed. Thank you for your courage and strength in your final days. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you for the smiles and happiness you brought into my life & your brothers' & sisters' lives too. Godspeed Choo-Choo!

My very best friend, my hero, the most noble creature I ever knew -- my Charlie. He came to us as a stray, when it was 25 degrees below zero, he wedged himself in our door, and into our hearts. Orange and white, with an orange mustache, he had been through so much before he found us, he was always a little desperate to be sure he was loved. Charlie talked, he literally conversed with me, in his deep, hoarse mmrrow. He went on walks with me, when I walked the dog, Charlie trotted alongside, meowing as we went, as if to say, "why would anyone do such a foolish thing?" One time when we were caught in a sudden rainstorm, Charlie came out in the pouring rain to meet us and run home with us. He slept beside my son when he was an infant, one paw resting protectively on him. Charlie answered the door before the children, and pressed himself back against their legs to protect them from invaders. He met me at the door every evening when I came home from work, never fail. Charlie developed hyperthyroidism, arthritis, diabetes, chronic renal failure, and heart disease. He fought them all like a trooper, and never stopped talking. Today, we could not bear to let him suffer any more. I miss him so much I can't bear it. Charlie, please wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge. I'll be there...I'll never forget you. Love, Mommy

Charlie,
You will never know how much you were loved and will be missed. I can't help but blame myself for letting you out of the yard, but you were not one to be caged. I love you and miss you and think of you every day. Your daddy Scrappy misses you too. We will meet again, until that day Goodbye my little charliedoodle.
love, mom

To my darling, beautiful, beloved Charlie Cat. My Charlie, Chuck, Charlie-sina, Prince Charles, Angel Kitty, Precious Love. Thank you for all the joy, laughter, and unconditional love you have given me for the last 15 years and 9 months. I loved every minute of it, and it was returned a thousand times. I loved you so much, my precious little kitty boy. I'll never forget your beautiful, funny little mustached face, your sweet purr, your funny little noises, your soft, silky fur. You will always, always be in my heart.
Goodnight, Sweet Prince. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Charlie you were always there to protect and serve and love unconditionally. I only hope that your death was quick and painless. You are loved and will always be remembered. I will love you always!!!

Kris Mitchell

We got Charlie from a local pound, he was always lovable. When we first got him he was shy because he was abused. He was 7 months when he came to live with us. He is my babay and always will be. He was a german shepard. he lived a happy and long life with us. He just passed away this past Wednesday morning, with my husband and myself by his side. We are not real sure what took him, but we think it was a heart attack. I miss him more than words can say, he will always be a part of me and always in my heart. Goodbye Charlie Boy until we meet again. I love you.

Love Mommy

Charlie was a gift for me on my 5th b'day. He was with me through half of the difficult teen years. He was the happiest dog, even after he went blind later in life. He adored every member of my family, but especially my father - he would hear my dad's car turn the corner and rush to give his face a washing when he came in the door. He died during routine surgery for removal of an abscess, so it was a very unexpected and a shock. To this day I think of him and remember what a joy he was and how blessed I was to share my life with him.

Nancy Streeter

Angel, You came into lives and changed them forever. You loved us unconditionally as we loved you. You will never be forgotten. As we know one day we will meet again and be able to be together forever. Until then we love you, and cherish you and you will always be in our hearts. You are our Angel Always and Forever WE LOVE YOU

Charlotte. You were my little angel. You started all my days with a cuddle and sent me to sleep each night with your purr. You made me laugh and ended my loneliness. I love you so much and miss you so much. I am so sorry that you had to suffer such an illness at such a young age and that your beautiful life was cut so short. You were loved by many and no kitten could have been loved more. You will be in my heart for ever and ever. You were so much more than a pet but then you know that. You are so sadly missed by your Mum and Deano and Ashanti. A thousand kisses and cuddles. I will see you at the rainbow bridge. Deb xxxx

My Charlotte Puppy,

I loved you with all my heart. I still love you and always will. I wish you didn't have to go so soon, but I'm glad you are in a better place. You are my angel puppy. Everyone still misses and loves you...even Elliott the cat.

Ibby

Charlotte came into our lives not long after my wife and I met. She was with us for our ups and downs and will always be remembered as our friend. She'll forever be in our hearts.

Jeff

We miss you so much Charlotte...you made such a difference in our lives and we'll never forget you.

Melissa and Chris

She was loved in life, and remembered in death. We miss you terribly.

Harold Bauman

Thank you, Chase for all the years of love you shared with us. We will never forget you but have faith that you have gone to a better place and that you no longer suffer in pain. We'll miss coming home to you waiting for us in our yard and keeping an eye on us each and every day. You were such a wonderful friend and companion. You were the best cat EVER!

Cynthia, Janet, and Allie Jacquier

What can we possibly say that our tears do not say? We miss you so much and our hearts are very empty. The one thing that makes this even somewhat bearable is that we know that you are no longer feeling sick or hurting any more. I am very glad I held you in my arms till your last breath, I hope you heard me telling you I love you and that you felt my kisses as you went to Heaven. Our hearts are hurting but we are remembering all the "special moments" we shared, you sitting by the bathtub waiting when we took baths, you sitting waiting at the top of the stairs when we open the front door, the first day we met you, you laying with us by the pool, you carrying toys to us in your mouth, sleeping by our heads, the love bites, the lipstick marks your mommy always put on you. These are just some of the things that will help us get through today and maybe then we will worry about tomorrow, we have alot of pictures of you too. I pray that you will find your special memories and places too. We will love you and miss you until we one day hold you in our arms again. Thank you for being such a big part of our lives.

Love Always, Mommy & Daddy

To Chauncie, my dog, my heart, my life. I pray for the day that God allows us to be reunited forever. You saved my life. You walk in my soul. Your face is always in my sight. You are my angel, and at last you are at peace. I am always yours. Please remember and wait for me. I love you.

Your Annette.

My Beloved Checkers,
You were my best friend, companion, side kick, and now my angel. You were the greatest dog that ever lived. I was so blessed to be apart of your life and you apart of mine. I didn't deserve your love or compassion, but you gave me the best love their is...unconditional love. You were such a beautiful dog, with an extraordinary spirit. You were full of life. But you were stricken with kidney failure and God called you home. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the wonderful memories. I miss you so much, Boo. You're in my heart always. Don't forget me. You're with God now, but I'll see you when I get there. Put in a good word for me. I love you always, Check.

Your ever faithful friend,
Brittany Leigh

To "The Best Cat Ever." I love you.

Janet De Lair

My Cheddar, you were a loving, big, beautiful strawberry blonde cat with green eyes. I miss you so much. You went through 15 years of my life with me, full of both heartaches and joys, and you were always there to comfort me when I needed you. I love how you were such a fiend for water - who knew cats loved water so much? You kept me warm at night, and kept me company during the day. You were patient with my moods, and gave me so much love through your entire life. I miss you desperately. I love you so much and I always will. Mommy

Thank you for 10 beautiful years of friendship Cheeb. Looking forward to meeting you at Rainbow Bridge.

Janet, Joe & Jackson Chilberg

2 My Angel Boy~ I Love and MISS U !!!
U will never B far from my heart!!!
I will C U soon at Rainbow Bridge!!!

Cheech was the sunshine in my life. Going to school full time and working full time, my only vacation from reality was coming home to him. He had such an intense devotion to me and never in my life have I felt so close to one person. But with him it was different, there was that unconditional love, how he could sense all my feelings, no matter what they were. When I cried he cried to. When I was happy you would never find a tail wagging faster. He was my comrade, my road dog, my everything. He was only 2 yrs, 4 months, 2 days old when he passed away suddenly. We think it was a heart attack. But I think God needed a watch dog at the gates of heaven. He will be missed but never forgotten, and if he only knew how much I miss him I bet he would be crying right now too. I love you "teeters".

April Morrison

Words really can't describe all of the special things about Cheesecake. He was the most beautiful and loving cat I have ever known. I was privileged to be his Momma for 16 plus years. Cheesecake took care of everybody - making sure that they were happy and always willing to give extra love even when he would have rather been napping. Cheesecake was loved by so many people - everyone who came in contact with him was amazed by his abilities. The ultimate gift of love came when I made the decision to put Cheesecake to sleep - the cancer was spreading fast and I didn't want him to suffer anymore. I told Cheesecake that Momma loved him enough to let him go and he understood. I still feel Cheesecake is with me - in my heart he lives forever - cancer free, pain free and loving life to its fullest. I know Cheesecake will be waiting for me on Rainbow Bridge.

I'll miss her greatly. She was much comfort and company during a tough time of my life.

Tom Bakewell

Windsor and Chelsea grew up together and died tragically less than 2 weeks apart. Windsor as the result of a prolonged illness. Chelsea as the result of a freak accident. They were both such loving, unique little beings. And both were loved dearly and are missed terribly. My heart is breaking.

Wendy Rapp

It is hard to describe the pain I feel after losing my friend, my baby, my child of 11 years. Chelsea was more than a dog, she was my baby. She was the gentlest, kindest, sweetest dog ever. I can't believe that I will never get another wet kiss from her or she wont curl up against me in bed as she did every night! I will miss her like nothing before! I hope she is happy at Rainbow Bridge!
I love you Chelsea!

Shannon Bandler

To my Chelsea
I still miss you today as the day left me. I could never ask for a better friend than you. You were always there in good times and bad and always by my side to make me laugh or cuddle up. Today I know you are with Sesame and Dad and now Chessie and playing the day away. Dad is so lucky to have the three of you with him and you him. Grandma and I will see you all again someday. Until then be happy and we miss you very much.

Diana, Betty, Earl Welshhans

Chelsea,
You were a very special friend. Loving and sweet, yet independent and aloof.
You always knew when I needed you by me, and I will never forget how you would lick the tears from my cheeks.
You brought so much happiness to me and everybody that met you loved you.
You were just that special.
In trying to keep you comfortable over the past week, I hope I didn't cause you to suffer. It was comforting to us to have you sleep by our side this weekend, and I hope that you felt comforted being there.
I wish I could have been home this morning to hold you in my arms when it was time for you to cross the bridge. I am sorry.
Chelsea, I will always love you.....and miss you.....

Sherry Stanton

Our Chelsea girl was a special family member who we loved deeply and will miss even more!!! She gave more love than she will ever know!!!

Autumn Chelsea - We love you and you will live in our hearts forever. Rest in peace baby and we will all be together again some day. Love, Mama & Daddy

I loved her with all my heart and I would give my life for one more day with her.

Sarah Ughetti

I love you so much! You were the first puppy our family ever had and we couldn't have asked for a better dog. You will be so missed. My heart breaks knowing you are gone. You be good and have fun with Arthur the cat. I love you Deldie.

Sally Peoples

I love and miss you Chelsea. It will never be the same without you. You will always be my little Chelsea Girl.

Pam Anderson

Our sweet friend and loyal companion, Chelsea, passed away with her Mom and Dad at her side on Friday, March 22. She will be missed so much, and will be in our memory forever. Bless you, Chelsea. Your time for running by the rainbow bridge has come. We love you, we miss you, Mom and Dad.

Dear sweet Chelsea,
Our lives will not be the same without you, but we will honor your sweet and cherished life with us and all the grace you lived with. We were so blest to have had you with all our family (including aunts and uncles, cousins) for 13 wonderful years. I miss you so much in this physical world -- your fur, your smile, your face but know that you are with us always in spirit.
Girl, you taught us so much and we will love you always.

Your Mother

Oh, my little darling. How I miss seeing that sweet little face every morning. You were always there for me: when I lost my brother, my baby, my grandma. You always seemed to know when I was down or upset, then you would do something so cute to try to take my mind off my troubles. You suffered with so much, yet you were always a happy little girl. When the end came, I held you in my arms. I held you for so long. I couldn't bear to let you go. But I know that Uncle Brian is taking good care of you until Mommy can be with you again. Until then, know that I love and miss you so much. 'Night, Chels.

Missy Henderson

Chelsea struggled over the years with many afflictions, including heart problems, arthritis and most recently kidney failure in August of 2001. She always had a strong will, though, and she survived five months after the kidney failure. I was told she most likely would live only days or weeks past August. I learned how to administer fluids to her subcutaneously twice a day, and I know that made a huge difference. But I also think being there for her and loving her so much made the biggest difference.

She has been my best little buddy for 13 years, even longer than I've had my children. I know she's in heaven and she's happy. It is comforting to know that she's now comfortable and free from any misery she may have experienced. But, oh, how I miss her. I will always miss her and love her dearly.

All my heartfelt love and devotion to you, Chels, my great little huntress, shadow and protector,

Cindy

Chelsea was and always be a wonderful dog. The way she guarded the house when you were sleeping. She was very gifted in a personal way. When she was given to me by my dad after a hard day at school, that made my day. Chelsea however wasn't alone. My other dog Tia was by her side every step through the way. This dog has a special feeling in me and others. I'm just glad that she is with other dogs in heaven where she belongs. God bless Chels, see you soon.

Aaron Berens

Kossok's Chelsea of Sno-Fame

Chelsea was a special friend. She came to live with me when she was almost 9 and was my dear, dear friend from then on. It has been almost four years since she went to the Rainbow Bridge and I still miss her laying next to my bed. I have many happy memories that will be with me always.

With love,

Linda

I thank God for the wonderful gift he gave to me 8 years ago during a time I needed something to occupy hard times, I found her under a car, in my neighborhood, I had never seen her before. I was walking down the street and under this car I heard a tiny meow, a tiny Russian Blue kitten walked right to me and I picked her up, I knew she was homeless cause she was filthy dirty. I begged my mom to let me keep her, and she did. So, and for 8 wonderful years she taught me what true unconditional love was. She was the best company when times were hard. She had to be put to rest this past Saturday due to internal failure, she had been sick for a week, and with a hopeful heart I took her to the vet, hoping it wasn't anything bad, but it was. The hardest choice in life is to either let them go or try to hang on, I would never let a pet suffer just to keep them longer, it was like loosing a child. She was my daughter and I lost her. All I have is a collar, pictures and memories. It is agony to lose such a pet that was so attached to me. Although it is an awful grief, I know in my heart she is in heaven waiting for me. I love her and miss her everyday.

Michelle

Chelsea was a dear sweet soul who would melt into us when she was happy and content sleeping on our chests. She could be bossy and grumpy, but also sweet and loving. She brought so much love and joy into our lives. We are happy that she chose us to be her parents and allowed us to share in her life. She will be missed dearly for as long as we live.

Good-bye our little princess! We love you! Mommy and Daddy

Dearest Chelsea,
Words can not express how dear you were to me! You were always so faithful and loving, and I regret any day of your life that I may have taken you for granted! I never knew how much my heart would break to loose you. You will always remain a wonderful part of my life and be truly loved. Until we meet again in heaven you will live in my dreams! I send you all my love, my beautiful brown eyed girl!!

Shannon K. Berry

Chelsea our sweet little Tot. It has been 3 months since you had to leave us and go to the Rainbow Bridge. We miss you so much. You were our precious baby for 14 1/2 years. You will be missed as long as we are on this earth without you. We pray that you are happy. We will meet again someday. Until then we love you. I hope some day my broken heart will be healed. Sleep with the angels my little sweetheart.

Love,

Mama

Chelsea was my alter ego. She was such a part of me that I feel such a void. She was always so gentle and patient and kind to everyone, children, other animals, all people. She was so in touch with me that she knew when I was happy or sad. She was never misbehaved except occasionally she would get into the trash when I were entertaining because she knew there would be all the good stuff. She loved to eat, so I was always careful to keep her eating healthy. She loved to run and go on walks. She would pace me and make sure I was keeping a brisk pace to get my heart rate up. She was sent to me 16 years ago when my father died and was and is a very old soul. She was so comforting and I miss her sooooo dearly. She was my constant little companion right next to me all the time for 16 years and it is a very strange feeling not to have her next to me in body but she will always be with me. I was so fortunate to have her in my life. Many never experience that type of a bond with an animal or even a human being. I have been blessed in both ways.

I love you Chelsea and wish you peace and love where ever you are...you deserve the best of it all.

Erin

We are devastated by the loss of our baby. She was our angel in fur and so very sweet and gentle and good and loving and precious. She was our joy and our life. We only breathe now and long to join her.

John and Betsy McIntosh

We love you Chelsi...you brought sunshine into our lives and leave behind wonderful loving memories. You will always be mommy's baby & little girl. Forever missed. Mommy & Daddy

You were the smartest puppy in the world, you were loved so much and you live forever in our hearts!

Jennifer

Our special girl fought cancer bravely for 8 months when the vet said any time we could lose her. She was a lovable grouch that made life so much fun. We miss her so much and now her sweet son joins her on the rainbow bridge such a short time later. We love you always Chenny girl!

Paul & Lynne Collins, Cory&Tristan Major

Chessie 3-1-87 to 8-11-02 (2:00am)

You were my little girl for 15 years and every day you were my pride and joy. You made me smile. You made me laugh.
I still feel your presence and always will.
Your Grandma wishes she could talk to you again. You did make a difference in her life. And she misses you as much as I. And hopes you are with Gramps for him to take care of you now.
Now you are with your sister, Chelsea and cousin, Sesame and I know you missed them. And now you are playing with them again. I will always remember the love you gave to me and how you always looked at me with those big eyes. You were the light of each day.
And one day, I will see you again, then we will be together forever.

Diana & Betty Welshhans

Chessy, you will always be in my heart. I love you baby.

Jenny

It is so very hard to come to terms with my kitten and best friend Chester's unexpected and untimely senseless death. Here is what I would tell her if I could:

Lovely Chester, I can only hope and pray that there's a time and place beyond this existence where we will meet again. I love you and will be thinking of you always. I will always remember the way you laid with your hind legs behind you, I've never seen a cat do that before. And your paws were so unique and cute. I always joked that you had an ugly meow, but now I'd give just about anything to hear it again. I remember how you used to stand up on your hind legs when I was making turkey sandwiches. You always melted my heart, and I couldn't resist giving you a slice. I remember how you used to almost violently rub against me when I was eating cereal. You'd force yourself onto my lap and shove your way into the bowl; I always left a few spoonfuls of milk for you. I am so sorry that you died before you were fully grown. So much of my daily ritual included you, my sweet kitty. I don't know how to live without you. I miss you so much. Looking over the last few days of your life, I only wish I had the perspective that I do now in hindsight. When you stood outside the bathroom meowing on the morning of the day before you died, you were trying to communicate that you were not well. When you slept in my laptop case all day and wouldn't eat, I became worried. When you still wouldn't move after returning home from going to work with me, I decided to take you to the emergency room. They thought your spay wound was just slightly infected, and out you on antibiotics and iv fluids. I thought I'd be picking you up the next day. I received a call from the vet during christmas dinner. Your condition was suddenly grave. I rushed to the vet as quickly as I could. You looked so bad! I cried and cried. After a few minutes you began vomiting and having seizures. Your pupils were so small, your eyes were almost completely green. after the seizure you could no longer lift your head. They put you on oxygen and told me that you had a severe internal infection, and there was nothing that could be done. You were too weak to operate on and fading fast. You were in so much pain! The doctor told me euthanasia was the most humane thing at that point. I said goodbye through choking tears. I kissed your forehead and paw. Did you know I was there with you? Chester you left a hole in my life & soul that will never be filled again. I just wish I had more time with you! I wish you had grown old and died more slowly, that way I'd have been ready, and you would not have been cheated of a full and happy life. I am waiting the results of your autopsy Chester, but it doesn't matter whose fault it is. I just want you back, nothing else will make me feel better. God, if you're out there, please watch over my kitty's courageous soul and let me see her again.

-Nicole

Chessy, you are a friend in our hearts forever...we miss you every day.

Kelly, Michael and Chloe

Chester, I miss you so much. You were my best friend, my little lamb. You were such a part of me it's hard to be without you. Sixteen years, the time has flown by. I remember you as my little ball of fluff that I got for my 14th birthday. You have been there for me for such a long time, high school, graduation, college, marriage, etc. you saw me grow from a teenager into a women. I feel so sad without you. I know though that you are so happy running around with all the others at rainbow bridge. You have brought such joy in my life. You will always be with me. I love you. Your Mom

Chester was a loving, loyal, giving animal. He comforted those in distress, and hardly if ever showed his pain or discomfort. He had several physical challenges, and met them all with grace and courage.

Chester loved sailing and camping. He enjoyed dinghy rides and playing on the beach. One of his best friends was a lop eared rabbit named Romaine. When they met, Chester would lay completely still and let the rabbit explore and feel safe.

On one of his few 'bad dog' days, Chester pulled an apple danish off the counter for himself and a bag of lettuce for the Rabbit.

Chester lived a long life and brightened many people's lives. We are feel proud and privileged to have known him.

Dear Chester, You have left the plane that contained your little cat body. Soon you may choose to merge your essence with the great mass of life energy that all life came from. You may also choose to reincarnate as another physical entity. Go as you will. Seek Light, Life, Love and Freedom in where ever you choose to go. You will always be loved and remembered. Perhaps we will meet again, on the Rainbow Bridge, or perhaps in another time and another place. Goodbye, for now Chester.

We lost Chester today after a short but devastating attack of pancreatitis. Then his kidneys shut down. He was going into shock and had lost all quality of life. Prognosis was grave so we made the decision to let him go. We held him till the end and I'd like to believe he knew we were there. One day he was running around with us and 4 days later he's gone. It was too soon. We will miss him following us everywhere and sleeping on our legs at night. He was our sweet angel, our protector and our dear baby. He taught us all about unconditional love. We love you so much Chester

Barbara

Chester was a dog who suffered for most of his life. And yet he had the will and determination to go on. He was a best friend and will always be remembered and missed and loved. The vet said Chester and Emily were well suited for each other - she was the only person who could touch him. I told the vet of how she found him . . .he had been abused and was in bad shape and the vet said - no - he found her.

She (Emily) is my sister and I was with them when this happened and I know he is in dog-heaven and that someday they will be reunited.

Chester was a big, stubborn, loving, clown of a dog--indeed the perfect Bassett Hound. I was lucky enough to have him in my family for 4 of his 8 years. When I had to move and could not keep him, he went to live with my friend Shirley and her family.
They took him in and loved him for the rest of his life. You see, Chester, as beautiful a Bassett boy as he was, had many difficult medical problems, including Addison's disease, hypothyroidism, and the glaucoma that eventually took his sight. He died this week of complications caused by his autoimmune problems.
Lesser mortals would have not have paid the high price of his medical care, or taken such diligent care of his needs. He was well loved by my friend, a true "Dr. Doolittle". This is a small way of paying tribute to Shirley, and to Chester.

Our Miniature Schnauzer, Chevis, friend of 12 years passed away peacefully this afternoon.

She will be sorely missed by all the family!

Goodbye old friend, have fun chasing those squirrels in Schnauzer heaven!

"Chewie"
I found this tiny little fur ball in my ivy just before July 4, 2000.
He was so small he fit in the palm of my hand. I bottle fed him, and nursed him. He was about 2-3 weeks old. Chewie was the sweetest animal you could ever come to meet. He grew and so did his personality. He loves to play with my ex's 5 ferrets. In fact, Chewie chortled like a ferret. He never meowed. He gave me kisses and hugs, and sleep at the top of my bed, on my head. He was always there for me. He knew when I was sad or glad or mad. He made me smile no matter what I was going through. About 7 months ago Chew was diagnosed with Cancer. For the most part he took it well, and was ok until one month ago. This past Tuesday, he felt very ill, and I was left with no choice, but to let him go. I loved him with all of my heart and soul. I hope that he knows that wherever he is now. I just could not bear to see him in pain. I feel such a void in my life now. I only hope that he is playing and happy over the Bridge. Mommy loves you with all of my heart Chew.

Chewy was my best friend for the 13 years, 7 months we had him. I picked him from a litter because he was the most protective and had that certain look to him. It proved to be the smartest thing I've ever done. He has been with me through so many good times and bad. Always there to comfort me and I to provide for him. He had been getting old recently and his arthritis bothering him. But he was a tough dog. He eventually was hit by a Fed-Ex truck in my driveway. Even then, he made a comeback and appeared to be doing OK. However, he started to have problems breathing then and soon would not eat. To make the decision to end his suffering was without a doubt the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. I love this pet as I do my children. He will live with me forever in my heart and mind. Everyday I look to see his face coming around the side of the house when I come home. His love was unconditional and total. A beautiful dog with such a smart mind. Someday we will be together again and play as we used to. We love and miss you Chewy. John & Debbie

Chewy was the greatest, most loving dog, and we wish she could have been with us much longer. We hope those of you that have lost dogs before us will ask those pets to receive Chewy with wagging tails, open paws, and lots of kisses - until we can all be together again.

Chuck and Michelle Lanham

Our little one died this month. He was so tiny he was preemie he lived along time to be so small at 8oz he had so much love. Our little misfit Terrier/Chihuahua. We made alot of people happy in his short life he was born Nov. 6 2001. He left an empty space in our heats. His 2 brothers grew ok but he was just to small. He will be missed but we have are pics. & videos to help. GOD BLESS ALL WHO READ THIS

She was an abandoned girl whose eyes, from the first moment we met, shone like stars...She will always be my Star...My Chey Angel.

My Dearest Cheyenne,

I sit here missing you, my precious girl. I thought that by this time, I would have healed. I miss you so much. Your greetings, your bright eyes, You. I can't believe it's been one year since you've gone to that special place of no pain or suffering. One year since I've lost such a great piece of my heart. From the moment we first met, we knew that we were meant to spend time together, for however brief it turned out to be. Those short years are such an important part of my life. I wouldn't have given them up for anything. Even the knowledge that I was to lose you so soon after our meeting wouldn't have changed my decision to have you as part of my life. You are still an important part of me, and you always will be. I know that we will meet someday at the Rainbow Bridge, but I wish I had you here Now. With me. So I could run my fingers through your fur and give you hugs. To tell you how special you are to me. To know that I was safe. To just have you here with me. I love you, My Chey Angel. I always will. If you had an address, I'd send this letter to you so you could know how much I miss you and love you, still. But since you don't, I'll continue to lie in bed at night, talk to God, and ask that you hear my words. You are one of His beautiful creatures whose beauty will never be matched, ever.

Your Forever Person,
Shannon

All things bright and beautiful,

when we lost our chey, we lost more than a pet
a part of our heart left us, a part we'll never forget
Forever in our memories, our thoughts and prayers
she made our lives complete, our house a home
in sad times we know she's at gods feet
waiting for the day, when we once again meet
i pray this will happen, and i'll believe in fate
when i see that little nose, poking thru the pearly gates

Cheyenne, Bam Bam, Jane, Janie Jane, Annie girl, slamers, boo-I-full brat dog, naszh and all the other names.

I am so sorry to see you go today. You have given us almost 12 years of love and joy. We will miss you terribly. You are so special to us and we hurt to see you in pain and in sickness. I am going to miss you babes. Someday we will meet together at the rainbow bridge.

I love you Annie. You are now with Samantha, your dad, Shadow, Heidi, Odessa, and Rough. And many others. I love you honey. I am glad you are now pain free.

Love mom

My sweet little *itch, your departure is so bittersweet.
Please find Harley & Charlie up where you are. Also know that homer, Gunther & Chicken miss you very much. You will forever be in our hearts.
Godspeed Chi!

Rene Chartier

Chia,
You brought so much love and joy to our lives. We couldn't have imagined life without you. You will live forever in our hearts here until we see you again. Love you always, Mark and Gail.

To our Fuzzy Boy. We miss you and love you so much.

Cara & Christian

Chica passed away suddenly from a heart condition after she was sterilized, it was not known that she had a bad heart and I miss her so much, she was a great friend to me and she was my life. You are forever in my heart. Rest in peace baby. I love you.

Leanne Sharrock

We feel so blessed to have had Chica Lou Lou's love in our life for a few years. She brought us so much joy and so many wonderful memories that we will cherish forever. Our lives will never be the same now that she has left us to go to the bridge. We love her and miss her dearly, she will be in ours hearts forever. We will never stop loving her.

Chi-Chi was a true blessing. She was there for me, to comfort me, when my father died, 12/5/96, when my mother died, 8/4/98, and when my 15 year relationship ended, 8/27/01.

She was always eager to see me, and greeted me with the greatest of unconditional love, and affection.

Sadly, she was quite old, and her heart was weak. Following that, she went into kidney failure, twice. The first time, the vet got her back, but she only stayed stable for about 2 weeks.

In kidney failure again, I could not let her suffer.

So the day before my 45th birthday, we made one last trip to the vet, where they ever so compassionately, and gently, let her go on, while in my arms, being petted, loved, and comforted.

My home is a sad, quiet place, now. No eager greeting when I come home, no protective barking at the noises outside.

She is gone.

And I won't deny it, but my heart is breaking.

Yet, when we love our precious pets, as I did my darling little girl, we must love them enough to let them go on, and no make them suffer and endure such misery.

Chi-Chi, your daddy will always love you.

Forever.

Robert Meek

You died two weeks short of being 20 years old I miss you every day of my life. I have problems with accepting your not being here with me like you always were. We had a psychic connection and my only consolation is that we will meet again some day. Loved, missed, appreciated. You were a very fine dog indeed.

Mimi Miller

Mommy's sweet angel, sunshine of our home

Deidra Turner

My best friend, my angel, my light in the darkest night...I will forever embrace the gift of your love Chi Chi. Love, Your Mommy xoxo

We will always love the way Chi-Chi would mumble and dance with music. She loved to be around the action of life. She made everyone laugh and smile. Her blue feathers were so mesmerizing and she was so funny. There will never be another parakeet like her. She will definitely reincarnate into someone special. Even though days will pass we will always love her, no matter what. We will cross paths in another life.

Rest in peace precious Chicklet. Even though we only shared 9 1/2 years together, he gave us so much joy. We were lucky to have him in our lives. He will live on in our hearts until we meet again.

Marie Antonelli/Tina & Jim Notti

Chico was the dearly beloved little boy of OkSoon Arthur. While she was away at an appointment, he jumped into a bucket sometime that day and drowned. She was nearly hysterical on discovering his body.

Farewell, Chico, We'll miss you deeply.

Chico was the cat of Lee Ann Jones, Justin, Teresa, Evan and Trevor Sestito.
He was famous for opening the Fridge and helping himself to the turkey breast.
He will be greatly missed

May the lord take care of my babyboy Chico. He was a faithful friend. I was very thankful for the time we had together. I hope our sprits pass again. Please take care little guy.

He was the best and well missed in my heart and home.

John C. Biscovich

It doesn't get any easier. Each morning I wake my heart sinks when I realize that his sweet face is no longer sleeping beside my bed. Everyone tells me that I should in time get another dog but he is irreplaceable. I can look at other dogs and enjoy their antics but my heart belongs to that golden bundle who brought me more joy than I ever could imagine. Sleep well my baby. Someday we'll be together again.

Corinne Ciambella

After an unfortunate tragic accident on March 22, 2002, our sweet Chico Guapo has passed over the Rainbow Bridge.
He meant everything to Amigo and Mommy and we hope you will share in our grief as we try to deal with our first of many days without him.
I love you so much my little angel boy
Amigo and I will be lost without you
But we know you're in heaven over the Rainbow Bridge
Playing with your friends, Sushi, Echo, Hudson, Chassis, Skipper, Foxy, Zelda, Jessie, Blackie and Timmy
Be Safe little angel - the light of my life. Wait for us over the Rainbow Bridge and we'll cuddle once again.

Love, Mommy and Amigo xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Chico, oh how I miss you so. I miss our talks, walks and just laying around. The grand girls miss you, along with everyone who came in contact with you. You bought joy to our home, for the little time you were with us. The house is so quiet and empty with you. Your death has ensured us that you really were a "soul" and we miss you! I thank God for allowing me to have had you in my life.

Veronica S. Johnson & Family

Our "One of a kind". We will miss your crazy ways and that look you always gave us when we asked if you wanted to go for a walk. We hope your having fun at Rainbow Bridge running around with your cousin Macs and Grampa! Say hi to them for us OK? We'll see you someday Puppy Boy! Watch over us! We love and miss you very much! Mom & Dad and Jess and Becca

He was taken from me by my mother in her addiction and put him to sleep wile I was at work it has been that long but I still see him in my dreams and we run and play together each time we meet I feel he comes to me this way to be with me I hope he does not think I had some thing to do with his death. As that would kill me
He was not only my dog. But my friend and soul mate we us to work together as a team in k-9 secu. At the airport he would stand watch with me at my post and was there if I had trouble ,yet I was not there when he needed me or he would have died of old age not a vet's needle!
Chief I love you so much

You were an abused, discarded, starving rescue dog, near death when I took you in, in 1994. But you recovered, and I had 8 wonderful years with you. You were always a lady. And you LOVED eating fish, your favorite food--unusual for a dog, but very amusing. But beyond everything else, I felt you were a true angel on earth, so were so good. You deserve to be an angel in heaven, as well. I hope will we cross the Rainbow Bridge together, along with Desert who just passed away on October 26, 2002, and all walk into heaven together. I love you, Chile.

Chili
Maybe we live our lives in stages
I didn't know you for the first half of your life
But I was fortunate to love you for the second half
The better half

Everyone around you loved you
People on the street smiled and stopped when they saw your bright eyes,
your Eskie smile

I hope I showed you how much I loved you
I told you every day
How did you know when I needed a nuzzle
or paw of encouragement?
You taught me things I never could have learned alone

Chili, you are a special and very precious dog
A part of my heart will never be the same since you left
I love you
I'll always miss you

I just pray that this wonderful animal knew just how much she was deeply adored and that many people including me will never stop loving her. I pray that she knows that there will always be a place in my heart for her. I just truly love her and it has been the hardest thing to see her leave. My baby girl. I love you so much.

Jamie

I will miss my little pal, he was always bust doing his thing. Nobody seems to understand my loss.

Martin Ross

China, you were my first cat. You were my protector when I was sad or hurt. I love you very much and always will. you had the most beautiful blue eyes. I hope you are in a better place.

China Chang, for such a small dog, she was a big presence in our bldg., Williams Plaza, in NW Portland, OR. China was the light of our lives. China could sing opera, meow like a cat, talk like a human, do all sorts of crazy things. We loved her a lot. And now we hope she's at the rainbow bridge, waiting for her Joanie to come play. Kim and Missy =&..&=

AKA "no no bad dog" Went to play forever. She is happy and safe where she is. China was the owner of Pat, John, Julie, JJ, Wicket and Seal's hearts. She taunted us, made us laughed, and played with us every day. She drove us crazy with her barking and made us happy with her kisses. We will never see a ball without thinking of her and smiling. She will be missed by the children at Hand In Hand PreSchool, where she played everyday, and the swimmers on the BC Aurora's, her neighbors and friends.
We will all miss her.

Pat Van Wezenbeeck

CHINA DOLL - Mommy & Shelbie miss you so very much. You lived such a short life. It just isn't the same without China La-La here with us. May you rest in peace with Ziggy now.

Patti Rice

May you both scamper happily together and remember to play nicely

I will miss you terribly.

Julie

Chinook is the best friend I have ever had. He taught me many lessons in life and stood next to me with unwavering love and devotion and I stood next to him the same. His kisses, love and protectiveness will remain with me until we meet again. Chinook, I love you with all of my heart and soul- FOREVER!

Kristen Kuhns

Chintz, for many years you brought great joy into my life. Each day you greeted me with your bright brown eyes and your vigorous tail. Bouncing all over me with those big wet kisses of unconditional love.
When you fell ill I could not bear to see you suffer, so I let you go to heaven where you could run free and be happy. But I want you to know that you will always be loved and never forgotten and I promise that one day when I am called home myself, I will search for you until I find you and then I will never have to let you go again. I love you old boy.
Be well and good and happy and know that we WILL be together again someday.
That I promise you my little boy. Always in my heart...
Your "Mom" Garry and "dad" Jeff.

This is a tribute to Gordon James and his very special dog Chip. I found Chip abandoned, frightened and immobile from fear at a park in Knoxville, Tennessee last December. I brought him to my home but knew I couldn't keep him because my own dog wouldn't allow it. He limped terribly, needed to gain some weight, was very submissive, very sweet and was somewhere, the vets thoughts, between 7 and 11 years of age. WHO COULD HAVE ABANDONED THIS DOG? I cried constantly and was angry at whoever could do such a cruel act for the three weeks I had him. Through a huge network of people who cared about this dog's fate, we found Gordon, who at 81 years of age had months earlier lost his wife of 50 years to cancer. Gordon and Chip were inseperable. That dog had the best months of his life with Gordon, we all know. Today he died suddenly and mysteriously. He ran into the vet's office like he didn't have a care in the world and collapsed and died right in front of her. They tried everything, and nothing would bring him back. We are all heartbroken.

Alesa Rottersman

We love and miss you very much!!!!!!!!!!!
Kissis and hugs!!!!!!!!

Ray, Pam, Tyler and Dylan Burgett

Rest in peace Chippy.

Your owner died
All of us cried
You became mine
It worked out just fine
You were a big, good boy
Who brought me much joy
I miss our walks at night
But know that you are now all right
Your true master came to get you
Mr. Chips, I'll never forget you

Rest in peace, Chip
You were loved.

Barbara

I miss you Chipper, you were the Princess of our family. I know your waiting on me to cross the Bridge to rejoin you. I'll never forget the day you died, you fell asleep in my arms, and never woke up. I Love You

Crystal Goens

To the kindest dog in the world. We will all miss you.

Jo-Ann Lamberti

Our baby left this earth today and we will miss her; our only consolation is that now she is waiting for us. We can cross the bridge together.

Chiquitita, we will miss your "yeoowwwwl" and your "grrowwls" and your "chirrrrupps" and yes, even the hairballs that occasionally ended up on the floor.

We'll miss your warmth on our laps. Your fur all over the keyboard as you tried to get attention. The way you ran to the kitchen when you heard the can opener - we'll miss saying, "It's not tuna!" but you came anyway!
You were such a loving baby....and a good girl. Play and run free, our sweet Siamese. We love you and will never forget about you!!!!

Love,
from Mommy and Daddy
human brother Daniel (age 3) and your
Siamese sister, Desdemona Louise

Chisel Columbus
"Our Court Jester"

Aka Chy Chy Rodrigway or Choppers or Chiddel Pop or Belcher Boy or Chizoul, as they called you in Spain.

"You passed away with a broken heart"
and in doing so, broke ours...

We don't know why you did what you did,
but I guess you had your reasons,
it tears us up inside, that we could not help you...
as you know, we would have done anything for you.

You went so suddenly, it wasn't your time,
you always had so much to give.

Although you ended up with the same condition as Syd,
That was not what took you away.
We thought we had more time,
but I guess that was not meant to be,
it wasn't what you had in mind.

Our little guy with a big heart,
you missed your brother from the start,
The Court Jester you were...
you made us laugh, and brought us joy, for nothing...well maybe just a treat or two or three.

Chisel, you never had a bad bone in your body,
always willing to please.
You were such a good boy,
and you took everything in your stride.

We know you're happy now, you're back with Syd.
The two buffoons are back together again!!!!!!

We love you Chisel, we always will,
You are, and always will be in our hearts.

Our little photogenic boy, we love and miss you, yes
even "brat boy" (Trooper) misses you.

Love always and forever,
Mom, Dad and Trooper
xxxxoooxxxxoooooxxxxx

A good and sensitive friend. Bill's cat but he lived with us all those years. You always knew when we needed a little extra love and you were always ready and willing to give it.

Diana Miner

Today 1/5/02 we lost our littlest, but oldest kid Chiu-Ling. He left us today but gave us, and especially me, 11 1/2 years of pure joy. He helped me through some very difficult times and was loved by many, many people (including those not particularly fond of dogs). Today my heart is a bit broken but I am truly lucky to have had him in my life and for such a long time. He will be missed by his siblings Tallulah, Tyler, Oliver and Gunther and we know he is with brother Harrison shining down upon us.
We love you Chiu. Your two Dads.

Today we found out that our family has suffered a great loss.. a fantastic and very loving pet (Chiu-Ling).We will miss him in our hearts and keep him in our prayers. We send our deepest sympathy to our family members Stephen & Zach who are the proud parents of such a wonderful pet. Chiu-Ling you will always be missed and forever in our thoughts and dreams. Love, your Friends and family Tony & Helen....

I never understood the concept or meaning of a "Soulmate" until I met this dog. He was rescued from the local Humane Society and was a little dickens in the beginning but he was the best dog I could have ever had.

He learned to hug (seriously) and always knew when I truly needed one. He just seemed to be very in tuned to my emotions and heart-best friend a girl could ever have and he worked his way into my dad's heart too!

He is buried at a dear friend's little farm so I may visit him upon occasion but he will forever be in my heart......

Olivia Kelley

Always in my heart

Chloe was a loving, beautiful, brown and white Basset Hound. She died suddenly as a result from a freak lightning strike on our house.
Dearest Chloe, We miss you so much. We are sorry you had to leave our lives so suddenly, so violently as a result of lightning.. Roscoe, your handsome brother is sad :( and missing you. Gunnar misses kissing you and jumping on you, but you know he's just a hyper Labrador! I hope you are happy in "doggie" heaven and chasing rabbits like you did when you were with us. The view on the hill of the farm is magnificent and you would like where we placed you. Do you know that I sit beside you and talk to you or cry? You will always remain a part of us, and we feel a great loss in your passing....R.I.P. Love, Karen, Tony, and Jeremy

Chloe,

We miss you with all of our hearts. You taught us to love something so small and precious. You are our little girl. I am sorry we were not there for you but we will see you again. You are a very special kitten and we think of you everyday. We love you!

Tony and Nikki

I really miss you, Chloe. Your sudden death has hurt and shocked us all, but mainly me (Karen). I visit you at your grave every day and talk to you to let you know how much we love you. The view from the hill overlooking the farm is spectacular! Roscoe (Chloe's brother) sends his love and misses you to snuggle with. When I think of the odds of you being struck by that lightening surge that ran through our house that Saturday morning; I am in awe and shock that it got you and took you from us. Till we meet again, you will always be our "babylumps, Chloe!! God Bless You. Love, Karen, Tony, and Jeremy

We lost Chloe today (08/25/02) after a 2 month illness. She was such a loving and gentle furbaby. We only had her for about 4 years, but it seems like we had her forever. We know that she will always be with us in spirit, but we will miss her just the same.
We adopted her from a no-kill shelter. As soon as we entered the building, we could hear her calling us. The name on the cage was the name we had decided to give her before we even entered the building. She was meant to be with us.
We took her home and she adopted us and her fursiblings. They included two male cats Fred (who passed in June) and Shmu. A year later we got a puppy (Shea) and they became fast friends. Shea spent the last night by her side.
She captured Grandpa's heart too, by climbing up in his lap to take a nap, making his day.
We all loved her and will miss her, but she will never really be gone. She is now playing with Fred, Gwenivere, Willoughby, Cricket and the Sammies.
Poo-Tat, be good and don't fight with the other kitties. We will miss you.
Love mom, dad and grandpa.

ps ruff ruff (Shea says to come and see him often.)

Floyd & Stacey Walker

My little sweetheart, Chloe, passed away at home last Thursday night. I got Chloe when she was only 6 weeks old, and she was with me for almost 13 years of my 15 year disability. She innately knew how to get me through the "bad days" and delighted me with her playfulness on the "good days". Chloe was a very warm-hearted, loyal, trusted, special friend and confidante to me (her mom), and I will treasure my memories of her until the day I meet my little angel once again.

I miss you, Chloe, and grieve your passing with a very heavy heart. I love you so very much, my darling little girl. Wait for me there at the Rainbow Bridge, sweet Chloe, and we'll be together forever.

Love always and forever,
Mum

To My Baby Chloe,
You so unexpectedly left and I wish I could have done more to save you. I loved you the moment I found you and you will always be in my heart. I will cherish the year and a half you were with me and your brothers and sister. You were my little baby and I will miss the way you always cuddled with me every morning and any time I would lay on the couch. You made me laugh the way you thought you were as big as the others the way you played with them. Mackie, I can tell, already misses you. Zeb and Rosie are still looking for you. Until I can hold you in my arms again, Grandpa who sent you to me, is waiting for you my little angel. I love you and miss you so much.

Chloe (Grayshaw Lucy)
How sad to lose my beautiful girl who passed from this life peacefully with cancer.
She is so much missed by her twin sister Emma, Samson her friend, and of course more than ever by me.

My heart is still so heavy.

'till we meet again on the Rainbow Bridge...............

Love

John

You were our baby Girl, we will never forget you.

Rick & Kristen Diaz

Chloe, you were mommy's little angel.

Carol Herzog

Our darling little poppet was cruelly taken from us last Saturday night by a speeding car. She was a quiet, gentle cat who gave us so much love. We'll miss her little face pushed up against the window wanting to be let in and the way she always sat in the middle of the floor, sitting down and un-gracefully cleaning between her back leg only when visitors were present.

She leaves behind myself, Marty and her brother Fluff. Good night poppet, we love you dearly XXX.

This is for my sweetness, Chloe. I only had her for a short amount of time and discovered, after her death, she had a lesion on a heart valve. I miss her so much. Although she was a quiet kitty, she was very very friendly to me. She would wait for me to come out of my room in the mornings and greet me w/a hello. How I miss that so. My other two kitties missed her very much after she was first gone. They searched thru my house, smelling for her, to not find her. It was such a hard time, but got thru it with support of my family and friends.

Corrie

My precious girl, you came into my life and immediately had my heart. I'm so glad you were given by God for 12 1/2 short years to be my companion. I know you wish all pets could have a life as you had. I and your sister Benguella (your hyper Basenji companion), and your adopted Dad Joe miss you terribly. I only wish I had been able to make it home before you laid your weary head down and went to sleep. I know you felt my tears and wanted to spare me the pain. You both are my children and we know you are waiting for us. I can almost see you resting in your backyard with the sun shining down on you with the spring breeze blowing through your floppy ears as you catch a scent and you and your sister chase each other across the grass. I know you are well now, your little heart and body just finally gave out but your spirit lives on with a new body; waiting for us at the bridge... we'll all cross it together. Rest well Chloe Grace and share some of your never ending love with those who were not loved on this earth. Daddy

You are my sunshine. My only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know, Dear, how much I love
you. Please don't take my sunshine away....
You'll be FOREVER missed and loved.

Kathy Strombach

To the best hound dog on earth and now in heaven. We all miss you Chloe!

The Szczeck's

Cho was a gentle and bright lad who just always gave love to everyone. Polly loved Cho. He was her world. I have their ashes and would like for us to be buried together.

David Stopher

Chocolate,

Although the time we spent together was so short and I never made it to give you a real home, you are my sweet baby, you'll be missed dearly. Please take care and remember mom loves you forever!!!

Love,
Mom Rosaline

We all love you chomper, and I'm so sorry that you had to go so young. We are going to miss having you here with us, your such a good boy. Marek and Damien are too young to understand, but I know that they already miss you. We will never forget you we love you buddy. I know your in a better place now. I love you very much!

Desiree

I have known Chomp since he was 3 months old. I met him in a dog shelter in Seafield, Edinburgh, Scotland. I guess after the first 1 maybe 2 seconds I knew he would be my friend for life. Unfortunately he was so sick at that time I couldn't get him released for another 2 weeks. I had another dog at that time called Barney, who was a Gordon Setter. They got on well together in our small apartment in Easter Road, Edinburgh and became really good pals.

Chomp loved to go out and go hillwalking in the Highlands, he was a little trooper. He walked for over 100 miles one walk. He even crawled into a snowhole with me for the night and crawled inside my sleeping bag so we could both keep warm.

I don't think he ever really ate dogfood very much until he came to America with me. When we lived by ourselves I would cook enough for two and he would have a mixed diet of French, Italian, British, Chinese, Thai, Indian cuisine. I have to say that Indian food was his absolute favourite.

When we came to America, things were very different. We went from two single guys sharing an apartment to living in a big house with lots of animals and people. Chomski discovered barking and decided it was best to become the alpha dog. We got into dog rescue in a big way and inspired by Chomp we ran the only dog rescue in the USA that specially catered for Lurchers and Longdogs. We had 13 dogs staying at the house at one time.

Although I can hardly bring myself to think about it, Chomski died on the 3rd of March, 2002. The best I can gather he had a blood clot in his brain. We had just been playing Frisbee 15 minutes before. I buried him in our front yard. I put his Frisbee, his stuffed rabbit and my favourite baseball cap with him. I loved that wee guy so much it has just broken my heart that he is no longer at my side. He never left it for a moment when he was here and he will never be far from my thoughts now that he has gone.

Thanks Chomp

Keith Allan

Chopper, my beautiful little mischief maker. You left too suddenly and too soon. I thought we had many more years together, but it was not to be. I am thankful, still, for the nearly 10 years you were in our lives. I miss your cat talk in the mornings and how you'd come running when I called you, even though cats aren't supposed to do that. You could stir up trouble with the other cats like no other, but they loved you anyway. And they miss you as much I do. Leo is sleeping now in all your favorite places. I suppose it helps him to feel closer to you, but it's sad to watch. We'll see you again little man. Watch out for us in the meantime. We love you.

June Laporta

Chow Bella, oh hello beauty. You where there when I needed you, thru divorce and despair. You moved from the country to the city so tight but you kept by me all thru the night. You guarded and protected and nibbled on me to show you loved and made me see that friends are there in you time of need. So I whistle you call and come, kisses of love to the this one you found. Oh little Bella, beauty I see thank you for sharing your life with me. XO my Bella ciao

David

Choy..no matter how far you wonder away, you will always be that special boy in our hearts and we love you very much!

Gillian

You saved my life so many times, my heart is broken .Until we meet again. Never forgotten.

Maureen Lamb

My cat Chrissie was such a soft and gentle personality, always loving and accepting, never a negative action or behavior.
The world would be better if more entities could love and accept the way she did through her almost 15-year life.
Love you, girl! Meow!

Lisa Evans

Christie was a huge part of our lives and we miss her fiercely. She was a loving, wonderful dog who was most definitely a furbaby. We think she has gone on to The Rainbow Bridge and find solace knowing we'll see her some day. Christie was a special girl who brightened the lives of everyone who knew her. She is greatly missed by all of her family. She was always such a happy baby who brought joy to others - with her Sheltie "smile", her Sheltie "spins" and licking us showing such love. Her best friend was her little brother, William, who is an eleven pound Maine Coon cat who chased Christie at her urging. She really loved him and we know he misses her now. Christie, we will always love you and will never forget you. We know that you love cool weather so we hope you found some cool weather at The Rainbow Bridge. Love, Mommy, Daddy, William and your grandparents. (Jay, Suzy and William Mellott)

Christie was a huge part of our lives and we miss her fiercely. She was a loving, wonderful dog who was most definitely a furbaby.

Christine you will always be loved, because you were always so loving. When my mother died you comforted me more than the humans did. You always came to find me wherever I was when I cried, to love my tears away. Noone understands me like you did. I miss you so much.

Christmas was a dilute calico, DSH cat that we got for one of our daughters as a gift. Well, even though Christmas was my "daughter's" cat, she really became mine...She was only about 5 weeks old when we got her and weighed less than a pound. I loved her so much. When she was 13, she got liver cancer, and only 3 weeks after being diagnosed with it she had to be PTS. I held her sweet head in my hands and kissed her over & over again as I cried & told her how much mommy loved her. Christmas was the first cat I ever was privileged to love. She was sent to the Bridge on May 25, 2001. I never knew her birthday but she came to us close to Thanksgiving 13 years before that. I miss her more & more each day & look forward to the time I cross over the Bridge and can be reunited with her. Christmas had more nicknames than any other animal in the world probably, but Nunda Bunda is one of my favorites...She thought I was her mother and would nurse on my left earlobe as we went to sleep at night...until the day she died. I keep her remains next to my bed and many nights I look at them & tell her again how much I love her and miss her....I also have a small piece of her fur & a paw print to remember her by....Sandra Crea

In memory of the loss of my beloved companion and buddy Christopher. I love you so much pal! It is going to be so tough not having you around. May you sleep and rest well...and just know I will always love you, and I will never-ever forget you.

Christopher - I miss so much. I remember the first time I saw you in LA at my son's house - I thought to myself, what a handsome fellow you are. I was so happy when you came to live with me so many years ago. We had over 10 years to spend with each other. I am so sorry that you had to go. I will miss you very much. There will never a another Chris. You will always be special in my heart. Moe, Piggy, Gizmo, and DP miss you also. They have been looking for you. We know you are now at peace and not hurting any more from you kidney failure. I want you to know that it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do when I decided it was time to send you home to The Rainbow Bridge. I love you and will see you later. You have fun and take care of yourself.
Love and miss you - Mom

And then there were none....
This is my last entry, I recognize Chris Mouse as the last little mouse boy I will have in my life. He lived longer than his brothers and was the shy, quiet type. Old age got the best of him and love could not keep him going. He runs with his brothers, Maurice, Brandon Micheal, Sylvester, Trystan, Nikita, and Muffin. Mommy misses you all so much. Now the cages are empty and the wheels are all silent. With each ones passing I have grown and I am no longer sad but so happy that I got to spend time with 7 of the best mouse boys ever. If I ever get to heaven, I will make a beeline straight to my boys! I am proud to have been your mom. Forever in my heart....

Glenda

I never thought I could love another pet as much as my cat Jesse who passed away at age 17, until Christopher. But he squirmed into my heart and had a firm hold. He was there when I had my two surgeries and helped me through the pain.

Thank you, Christopher, for being my friend. You were there when I needed you. I pray that we will someday be together again, healthy and happy.

Thank you,

Mary Karr

Dear Christy,
Our Beautiful White Angel,
Thank you for our wonderful six years together. We continue to cherish you and to love you, forever, in our hearts and in our souls. We will see you in Heaven!
All our love,
Mommy & Daddy

Chubby, we will never forget you!
You were the best companion in my life. We lost so much time together due to reasons and people we had no control over. I remember when you went skiing at Alpine, when you ate the pumpkin pies, when we shared dinner and goodies, the way you laid your head on the pillow, your always sweet, loving nature, our trips to McDonalds, and so much more.
I also remember when you were in the cold, sick, left outside and alone by others, afraid, and so much more.
If there is ever any way I can see them hurting, as they made you hurt, I will! I will always feel I failed you, even though I had no way to help you. I know we belonged together, but too many people prevented that from happening; bitter family, heartless landlords...
I love you, Chubby. I hope someday we can finally be together.

Bambi Tuckey

The deeper the love, the greater the loss.

Cynthia Cunningham

I would like to thank you Chuck for not only being my companion and best friend but for making my life so much better. You will never know how much you meant to me. You were not just a "cat" but a furry little person who was always there for me. When I was sick, you comforted me. When I was sad, you stayed with me and made me feel needed. You were exceptional in everyway. No other will take your place and you are and always will be greatly missed. I love you and knowing that you are waiting for me helps me in dealing with my grief. I love you Doobie-Doo, always.
Your mom and best friend,
Tracy

Chucky There's is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you very much. You will always be with me. Love you forever, Mommy

Chue will always be my special dog. He was what has become the first of having Pomeranians in our family. He was bought for me by my husband a week after we were married. We had moved to Texas (right after we were married) from New York. I was very homesick. He was a 1/2 pound when we bought him, and his name was "PomPom." He was a little terror and nipped at everything! I even wanted to give him back! We changed his name to Chue, after a tex-mex place in Austin. Chue grew into a 15 pound Pomeranian, and had a coat of hair that was incredible. We were told that he probably would never have a coat!!! Along the years, we have acquired many more Poms, but he will always be my first, and the one that started it all. I am very sad today. We lost him due to complications of his diabetes. He went into a coma this morning and we made the decision to put him down. We were told that he probably would not make it through. I will forever miss his barking, and his growling at my husband. He will be especially missed by his favorite playmate, Ritz.
I will always thank him for introducing me to the wonderful world of Pomeranians. He is missed by his buddies Ewok, Ritz, Misti, and Mocha .. all his original buddies. Newer addition Leo and Oreo. And now he joins Puddles and Lucy in the Bridge. I know he is up there now happily playing.
......... I miss him so much.

Today I lost my best friend. He not only loved me in the good times, but was there for the bad as well. When my father was terminally ill, Chukker would lick my tears, and my mouth as if to say, "Stop, I love you, and everything will be all right". When I was going through a divorce, my ex-husband came over one night and started pushing me around. Chukkie could sense something was terribly wrong. He jumped up and bit my ex-husband (who is 6'4") right in the middle of the forehead. He tried to push him away, and Chukker stood his ground. He was my soul mate.. I could look into his eyes and they were so deep, we could speak without saying a word... The hurt is so deep...I have cried a million tears.. When we said good bye, I told him to wait for me in the meadow, and when I came over the rainbow bridge, we would never have to say goodbye again.
Chukkie, you are my love of my life, I couldn't have asked God for a better friend, companion and protector. I love you with all my heart. When you cross that rainbow bridge, let God shake your paw(your little trick that no one taught you, but you knew anyway)run as far and long as you can, feel the sun on your coat, the wind in your face, wait for me...don't forget mommie, because I will never forget you.. Rest in peace my love, we will be together soon..

My very special baby!

Churchill was the very best friend of John Jansen and died during surgery. He was a good boy and will be missed terribly.

Homage to A Beloved Friend By Katrina Pugh

It was in the tickle of your whiskers,
The gentleness of your paw grazing my cheek,
The lilt in your purr that told me you loved me.
And I love you too, my friend.
As your life is in its twilight,
I feel my heart is breaking.
Now you are too weak to even walk,
And I say I will carry you.
I hold you in my arms,
Just trying to hold on as long as I can.
Now the time has come for you to pass on,
My Beloved Friend.
I will stay with you till the end,
I will not let you be alone.
And as you look up at me with those big blue eyes,
Nothing needs to be said.
You know that I love you,
My Beloved Friend
I miss you Chye.

To our beloved Cicero, from Rome.
You were only one year old when God took you from us. But you gave us the love of a lifetime.
We will meet again.

In eternal gratitude,
Diana and Robin

I really miss my beloved pet Cierra and I wish I could hold her one more time. It was the worst Christmas present EVER! I'll love you always Cierra.

Erin Quinn

Even though you were in our lives for only a short while, we hope the last of your days were happy ones.

Cinder, you were the best dog anybody could ever hope for. We all had a wonderful 12 years with you, and you are dearly missed. We will never forget you. We love you Cinder! Have fun at Rainbow Bridge!

You were the best friend we ever had. It has been one month today since you left us, but you will be in our thoughts and prayers forever. We miss you.

Jack and Luan Monsos

Cinders, born in our kitchen with the family present, loving, kind, always happy with a wagging tail!! She will always have a very special place in the hearts of all of her family-there will never be another like her..................

Dick & Lee Reid

My dog was my best friend. She was there when I was sad and we played together. But I will never forget the day she died.
It was one day after school I went to the room where we kept her and her 1 day old pups. She was not there. I asked mom where she was. Mom said she died. I was heart broken. And I knew that her pups would never know her.

Cinnamon entered my life at a time when I did not know how much he would mean to me. Eight months after Cinnamon joined my family, my father died. Cinnamon helped me realize that life and love go on. I was gone from home a lot with my job, but he was always there to greet me when I got home. I even called him long distance and my roommate would hold the phone so we could talk. He helped me through alcohol rehab and the death of my favorite brother. His warm, furry cuddles, and loud purrs always calmed me and gave me peace. We shared a lot of good times together, and I am very blessed that he came into my life.

A special friend who touch our lives in many ways. A brave and courageous soul in those last years. We will never forget you.

Cinnamon - Always a Good Girl

may the winds be always at your back,
may the sun shine warm upon your face,
the rains fall soft upon your fields and.....
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN....
may God hold you in the palm of His hand."

Beth Aylworth

Miss Cinnamon was full of energy. What a special bunny. She had the softest fur ever. She loved to play tag and just lay next to me when I was sitting on the floor. The cats she wrestled with will miss her too. I cherish the time I had with her... She had so many nicknames... Cinn, Cinnamon Bum, Kramer... I will always cherish the memories of this bunny who is so dear to my heart. I wish her peace and love and all the bananas she can eat.

Kim Ewaskow

God bless you Cinnamon, You are loved and will be missed very much. I know your mom gave you so much and you will be forever in my heart.
Love your foster mom, Katie

Dearest Cinnamon,
You have made my life so wonderful, from the first day to your last day. Because I loved you so, I gave you freedom from pain, and by now you are running and playing with your "sister" Barkley and your "cousins" Bear and Shelby, chasing squirrels and other small critters.
Your "sisters" Allie and Kodi miss you in the yard, and I miss your bark at night when something moves in the dark, and your hugs and kisses when I get home from class or work. You are still my protector, now a Guardian Angel. Fly high my angel, until we meet again. See you on the other side!!!
Your Devoted "mom",
Catherine

This is for you Honey Bunny! You were the best dog in the whole world!

Stay in the Sun! and have fun.

All my love, Sherry

Cinnamon was a brave little puppy dog who tried so hard to overcome all her illnesses for me, but she was getting so weak, she couldn't fight any longer and I couldn't let her suffer, so Almond, her sister and litter mate, and I had to say good bye on February 22 at 4:15 p.m. Cinnamon was a wonderful sister, pet and companion to us both. Almond and I still have each other and we know Cinnamon will always be with us in spirit. She was my Cinnamon, my Cinnaminnie, my love puppy, my boss lady and my Guardian Angel - and always will be. She is loved so much and missed terribly.

Pat Palmer

CINNAMON,

When the ANGELS hang out the stars tonight, they will shine brighter, because of you.
The first time I touched you, you reached out and gave me a big hug.
I knew then that I would always love you.

You knew when to lay on my shoulder to warm me and comfort me.
You gave hugs that brought joys to all that you were near.

The "special" MEOWS, to let us know that you wanted out doors.
Head butts and purrs that said, "It's time to get up to feed me and pay attention to me!"

Special purrs and head rubs that sent love all-the way through us.

CINNAMON, you were my special fur baby, friend and companion.

Now you can run and play with all my fur babies that were waiting for you
At Rainbow Bridge.
No more yucky medicines to take. You have no more pain.

There will always he BIG maple trees for you climb in.

Sunshine all the time to lie in. Fields and fields of catnip to roll in.
Green grass to chew on and lie in.
ALL the fluffiest clouds to lay on and sleep in.

My heart is sadder without you. I will miss you everyday, until we meet
At RAINBOW BRIDGE. Then we will never be apart again.

I will always love you, CINNAMON
Mommie

Cios is now an Angel, she suffered from a fibrosarcoma but died following to the surgery which should have helped healed her. My heart will always be with her.

This is written in memory of Clary, who spent most of her life loving Steve and Audrey Bausman. Her special place was a beautiful, quiet pond in a small town on Cape Cod, and shortly before she left to wait for all of us at the Rainbow Bridge, her special person, Steve, brought her back there to visit. For a few special days she was once again a puppy. Clary will go home one final time so that her ashes may be scattered across the path where she watched the ducks and geese on 'her' pond. Clary was beautiful, a champion, but most of all, a beloved companion. Our Clary: Rest in restored health pretty girl, with so many friends who were waiting at the Bridge to greet you - Daisy, your mom and dad, grandparents...until we all meet again.

Gayle Nittler

In loving memory of Clawdia, our precious girl who passed away at age 18 1/2. You could not have been more loved and treasured. You were our companion and the joy we obtained from you was, and is, immeasurable. Rest in peace, "little girl", we love you so.

Denise Suzuki

A greatly loved & truly missed member of our family, passed away last week after suffering a stroke brought on by an unknown ailment affecting his central-nervous system. When Mone't would come down from his tree in the livingroom, oooooh the guests would scatter!!!; Especially if he was after a delivery pizza, which was a favorite, along with donuts Broccoli. He really enjoyed warming himself on the TV staring at Mishel on her pc a few feet away for hours. And, just to be sure you wouldn't forget he was there, he'd do the 'iguana-snort' to gross you out. Even the cats who seemed to really be fascinated by him in life, appear to be troubled by his passing. I think we will ALL miss him a great deal. ~~peace, Mone't~~

Dear Claws, I will miss you and wanted to let you know how much I love you. One day we shall be together again. You were the best hermit crab ever (George your partner in crime, agrees) Take care Claws and may you find the perfect shell. Love always, Michael

I will miss you Clay. You were the little kitten that wasn't afraid of anyone big or small. I will miss your sweet purring and your jumping in my lap for a cuddle. You will never be forgotten

Brenda, Vance & Nate

I adopted Clayton in August 1986 with his sister, Maggie. Maggie died at the age of 2 and I adopted two kittens, Willie and Lola in 1988. Clayton, although a male cat skilled and impressive maternal instincts and cared for these two so well that throughout his life, Willie truly believed that Clayton was his mother. The following year MacDuff came along and Clayton accepted him into our family with his generous and kind heart that we all knew was always there despite his usual serious demeanor. He had many to care for now including me which was his loving responsibility and my cherished gift for sixteen years.

On October 13, 2001, Willie died of kidney disease. He had been ill for a short time and then we lost him. MacDuff had been diagnosed with a hyperthyroid condition and although I planned to have him receive the recommended treatment to cure this he was unable to be treated because he to was diagnosed with kidney disease. He died on December 30, 2001. Lola stopped eating and appeared ill one October weekend. I took her to the vet on Monday and several days later she would die on November 1, 2001.

These losses one after the other were devastating. However, to share our love and home Clayton and I on the day before Thanksgiving 2001 adopted three kittens. Two brothers and a sister, we named them Nick, Nora and Noel. Clayton once again was a devoted Mom to these three so adorable tikes. On the Friday before Christmas, we adopted a special needs cat, Angus. Angus' age is uncertain but he is a young and handsome fellow around 2 years old. He had a very distinct gait caused by having suffered a broken pelvis. I was told that he had been thrown out a window. He is fine now though. His walk has a charm all it's own and I have yet to see a cat who can run as fast as he can or with such enjoyment.

So as 2001 closed, we had suffered so with the losses of Willie, Lola and MacDuff. However, we shared joy with the coming home to us of Nick, Nora, Noel and Angus.

In January 2002, I noticed that Clayton had begun drinking excessive amounts of water. He was diagnosed with kidney disease. Over the next months, I cared for him hydrating him each day. His new family gave him joy and comfort but as the months passed our sweet Clayton's health deteriorated.

He began to experience difficulty breathing and yesterday was diagnosed as being in heart failure. His strong and devoted heart was not receiving enough oxygen to sustain it in all it's goodness and so Clayton's physical life came to an end on July 3, 2002.

He is now in a spiritual place with Willie, Lola and MacDuff. They missed him so and I had the new family to look after so Clayton in his usual responsible and kind way went home to them.

Although my heart now breaks and the tears just keep falling and I miss that fine sweet cat with all my soul, I will hold these past sixteen years always as he and I went through good and bad times and no matter what were always there for each other.

I love you Clayton. I always will. I love you forever my sweet boy.

Love,

Susan, Nick, Nora, Noel and Angus

Clea the tortoiseshell cat, much loved by her human over the last 16 1/2 years, died peacefully at home after a final hour or two spent trying to catch a mouse in a closet.

She returned home from a four-day stay at the vet's in very poor shape on Saturday evening. After a year of suffering from progressive kidney failure, her situation was made worse by a bowel infection that left her unable to digest food. On Monday, her purr deserted her. We were going to continue to treat her as an outpatient in hopes that medication would cause her appetite to recover, but I think she just decided that she didn't want to go through that. I suspect she just waited for me to take her home to die, and perhaps, in some quirky fashion, wanted to spare me from having to make the final decision I knew last night I was going to have to make in the next day or two. She spent a happy final evening, having her fur brushed out and being carried everywhere.

I had hoped when I heard her at 7 a.m. swatting at the mouse that has taken up residence in the closet that this meant she'd go off her hunger strike and decide to resume her position as guardian cat, protecting the apartment from intruders. Alas, it was not to be.

Clea was born in the suburbs of Toronto in March 1986, and joined me as resident feline in April 1987. She made her mark -- literally -- as an 8 week-old kitten, when, shut out of Chatterbox's bedroom, she decided to climb the moulding on the doorway to see if there was an entrance up top that she could find. She was retrieved, mewing plaintively, clinging with her claws to the moulding 7 feet off the ground. This didn't stop her from further adventures, ranging from attempting to join her human in a bubble bath to leaping onto the head of an unsuspecting head of a guest sitting on my sofa. Other favorite pastimes included stalking the sheets when they were being ironed, and hanging from screen windows until she had pulled them from their frames. She was definitely a one-human cat, even to the extent of hissing at friends when they came to visit. In recent weeks, she had attempted to contribute to my new life as a freelance writer, sitting in her lap as I tried to make money to keep her in cat food and cover vet bills, occasionally typing a letter or two to pull her weight. Another favorite place was on the rug, between the rungs of my office chair. I realized this when I heard the rug purring one day, looked down, and there she was.

She me across Ontario, to New York, to England and back to New York, where she moved to 3 different apartments in as many months. All of which she tolerated with a degree of equanimity: on one occasion, spotting a nearly-packed suitcase, she neatly disemboweled it, scattering clothes throughout the apartment to express her displeasure. "In my next life, I'm going to make sure I end up with a human that doesn't believe in moving," she is quoted as saying in the final months of her life. "And doesn't she realize that I LIKE to go outside?"

Still, Clea was glad to acknowledge one talent in her human -- that she recognized the chain of command in the household. "She does realize that she is my human, not that I am her cat," Clea said approvingly, in an earlier interview. She paid tribute to my (short lived) tolerance of having Clea drag her favorite toy (a Cat-Dancer) onto the bed at 4 a.m.

Tributes poured in from around the world: "Even in the face of pain and illness, I am impressed that she was striking terror into the hearts of brooklyn's rodent population during her last hours. She will be much missed," wrote one San Francisco admirer. "Becky and I sure did love that cat. Clea reminded us how much we missed having a pet. She was a great friend who we will miss dearly," said a former neighbor.

Farewell, lovely Clea. Wherever you are, may you find as many bird, squirrels and mice to stalk as your heart desires -- and as much interesting stuff to watch from your window as you could ever have imagined in your wildest dreams. I love you and miss you.

Suzanne

Cleetus passed onto the Rainbow Bridge in the early morning of 9/28. He fought a brave battle against lympho sarcoma, but his little body was tired. We went to bed that night and he called to us during the night. We went to him, held him and just laid beside him. He was at peace with us near by. We said our goodbyes and he was gone. Cleetus was FELV positive and although I knew his life expectancy would be shorter than others, I was determined to give him a quality life. He was a happy, sweet and loving cat. I rescued him and his brother from the side of a road. His brother Johnson and I have each other to comfort in our time of loss. I look forward to seeing Cleetus again, at the Rainbow Bridge.

Melissa

To Clem, my best friend, I sit by your grave. I miss you so bad. You were like a big teddy bear. You were my little guy.
I miss praying together. You thought I was great when no one else did. I miss our games we played. God bless you.

Teresa Bonk

My sweet little baby girl Clementine. Only 6 weeks old when I rescued you from that homeless family. We fought such a valiant fight against the distemper but ultimately, it won you body but not your spirit. You know you were dearly loved and cherished. I will miss you always and am comforted only by the knowledge that we will be together again one day. Kisses for your little head and muzzle and know I love you always.

Clementine's Mom

Loving Friend and Companion for 13 years.
You are still loved and missed.

"No matter now deep my sleep,
I shall hear you and not all the power of death

She's over the Rainbow Bridge now waiting for me.

"pee pee" is what we nicknamed her. Kinda weird nickname, but we just couldn't seem to get her house trained. She was a mixed Schnauzer. My brother found her in my neighborhood when she was just a puppy. My mother and I always said she was "our dog". Every night she would lay on the couch and when I was going to bed, I'd say "come on Cleo, bed time." She'd hop down in a hurry to get in my bed, and lay in her usual spot, right next to me on my other pillow with her butt in my face, and off to sleep we went.
She would greet me everyday with a wagging tail and lots of love. In the winter time, we would put a blue sweat shirt that was my brothers when he was little on her for whenever she went outside, it fit her perfect.
I would always give her a hair cut whenever we couldn't see her eyes, and she always had food somewhere around her mouth, caught in her hair.
All I can really remember about her death is taking her to the vet and coming home from school one day and asking my mother where Cleo was and she shook her head at me and I just couldn't stop from crying.
She will never be replaced and holds a special place in our hearts. Love you peepee!!

Jay

Cleo was a fun kind full of joy cat that loved her family very much and they her she will be missed dearly missed on earth by her family and friends but welcome in heaven by her friends

Tania and Jim

I miss Cleo terribly. she was so young when she passed on. Everyone was deeply affected by her death. After this tragedy, The word death made me want to cry. So in order to help me with this word problem I used the word Goozack. I would encourage others to use a different word from death because death is such a tragic word. Thank you Cleo for all the time you spent with me I will never forget you! I love you so much.
Much love, Kallen

My first born,

Today I received your ashes form the vet and it all hit me again---you are really gone. Go run through the grass my little princess, go and purr up a storm- teach all them other kitties what a purr is really supposed to sound like and let the sun shine on your beautiful black fur once more.

I didn't know that pain like this was possible. I didn't know life would be so HARD without your love. But I'm learning to cope and trying to give my love again to some special kitty. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you....and so on and on...

Oh my sweet, sweet girl...I long to pet you just once more and let you sit on my shoulders. And one day I hope I will. Now go and play and be happy.

P.S. Please don't dominate all the cats. Be nice, pretty please...:)

Love always and forever, your mommy Mina.

She was a beautiful cat who loved to be touched. She was always around and on any cool night would crawl under the covers and keep me warm with her soft fur.

I miss her constant presence so very much and I'm so sorry I couldn't save her.

Susan McCarthy

My Cleo was a beautiful, lively 16 year old. She was a real joy to live with. She loved to play retriever games and always sat on my lap when I was in bed reading or having my devotions. The morning of her passing she and her brother Tony (they were littermates) were playing chase games up and down the stairs and then she sat in my lap and purred through my devotions and while I brushed her. When I came home from work, she had gone to the Rainbow Bridge, leaving Tony and I to mourn her passing.

Lorna Fjarlie

Cleo was a homeless cat that we took into both our home and our hearts. She had a superb personality that loved attention and she offered it in return every time she could. She passed on leaving her 9 kittens behind to remind us every day that she touched our lives and if we are blessed, her kittens will display a similar personality that Cleo had. We look forward to seeing her again at the Rainbow Bridge, until then she will be with Shalimar who passed on in December, 2001. We will always love you Cleo, thank you for the time you shared with us and we will see you again baby girl.

Our Cleo Girl. We Miss You Dearly. You Are In Our Hearts Forever. Thanks For Being You.

We loved you with all our hearts. You were part of our family for such a long time that we can't get over missing you. Even Rebel still looks for you. You were always such a loner, unless you wanted us to love you. When we got to hold you for more than 5 minutes, we knew your time was getting close because you never allowed that before. I love you Cleo, I miss you so much. I will always wonder, think and care about you. You were my baby, before my babies came. Please know that you are special and will always be special to your "mommy" the girls and everyone who came in contact with you. Love and Peace to you

Tammy, Pat, Christina and Brooke

Our very SPECIAL Baby Girl ( Cleo ) is gone from us here on earth but will Live on forever in our Hearts and Memories. Cleo has touched the hearts of all those she met. Many tears have fallen in the pain of a broken heart. But, when you are thought of Baby Girl, a smile always appears!! Your time with us was oh so short, but, you will live on through us. One day we will get to meet once again at the Rainbow Bridge and I will smile again as soon as I see you. My heart breaks in longing to hold you close once again. But, the happiness you brought us will never end! To our CEE CEE!!!

Tammy & Mike

There is one pain I often feel, Cleo
Which you will never know
It is caused by the absence of you...

We will always miss you, love you and will never forget you...

Please look over Pumpkin, Freakie, Meesha and the rest of us! I hope that all your pain and suffering is over, now that you have entered Rainbow Bridge.

Cleo made my life better. I will miss her a lot.
God bless her for coming into our house and giving us hope that things will get better.

Pedro M. Ortiz

For 15 years, Cleopatra was my constant companion and traveling partner. We will miss her greatly for she gave greatly with her love.

Bea & Mike Shore

Cleo you were a loving and devoted baby. You will be missed very much. We will miss the way you jumped into our laps and rubbed your face against ours and the way you followed me around all day. Ceasar misses you very much too. We love you and someday we will all meet at Rainbow Bridge and be together again. We look forward to that very much.

Love,

Mom and Dad

Clint was my "boy", and my very best friend. I miss our walks, talks and hugs. I hope he is at peace in the great garden in the sky.

Vivian Taylor

We got him when President Clinton took office for the first time, so the name seemed fitting. For some reason, most of his tail fell off when he was a baby, so his nickname was "no-tail". When he was happy, he would jump up & down and wag his no-tail. When he got excited, he would sneeze uncontrollably. He was such a smart dog, he even taught himself how to open the little gate I had as a door to my bedroom. He also made himself a little bed under my bed, so when he would get up in the middle of the night to move and roll around, he would always wake me up in the process by bumping me up from under the bed. My favorite memory of him will always be the time I was laying on the couch watching tv and I thought he was just trying to be funny by jumping on me then wedging himself between me & the back of the couch. This little dog then proceeded to push me off the couch until I caught myself on the coffee table and was balancing so I wouldn't fall off. Then I realized what he was doing - Clinton was using me as a bridge to get at the rest of my steak that I had sitting on the coffee table. He walked over me like a little big man, grabbed my steak and ran off to enjoy his/my dinner! He was my protector & my copy cat. He even took on my attitude of thinking I'm tougher than I really am. He was the big dog when he was out on our porch, but as soon as the 100 lb. husky would come down the street, Clinton would literally throw his body at the window, barking and begging to be let in, but as soon as he was in, perched on HIS bay window, he was the big dog again. Out of all the dogs I've had, I've never gone through more than I have with Clinton. Unfortunately, he developed cancer in high in his right hind leg. We didn't want to see him suffer and we knew he wouldn't be the same if he only had 3 legs and spread too quickly to do anything, so we had to put him down. He was a fighter till the end. He required 2 tranquilizer shots when usually 1 will take care of a dog twice his size. He even bit the vet a few times when he should've been sleeping. He was a tough little guy, and we'll always remember him. We love & miss you, Clint!

Reyna Villa

Cloudy,
The first day we held you, we noticed your beautiful white eyelashes.
Your trusting eyes always loved us & protected us. You were our first dog angel & we know that you are watching over us from the heavens above. Saki & Cameo must of been so happy to see you.
The last day we held you, we kissed your beautiful white eyelashes goodbye.
We love you with all our heart,
Mom & Dad

The one that bonded a "blended" family. In heaven with her "daddy" now.

Gale McGuire

My children found a cat along the barn of a neighbour, she was just lying there unable to move. They begged me to make her better, I told them I would try, but I knew by the look in her eyes, that I could not save her and make her better. So I wrapped her up in a warm towel, and my husband petted her gently, until she took her final breath.
The children named her Cloudy Sky then we buried this beautiful lost baby in our yard with full honours, prayers and flowers.

Please allow her a life without pain and suffering..and a warm hand to comfort her, like we tried to do in her last moments.

Kelli (A rescue worker)

Clouseau and Jo were inseparable. They had a special relationship, not just a pet and owner. Her first dog arrived when she was just leaving her adolescence and had just lost 3 grandparents and dear aunts and uncles and friends. He was someone she could grow up with and share her dreams, sadness and secretes with... all the while he brought her joy and confidence that he would always love her unconditionally. Clouseau is deeply missed by the entire family... but he was without a doubt Jo's Clouseau.

My best friend since I was three years old. I always wanted a brother or sister, so instead, my parents gave me you.

You were my "little sister" and best friend for most of my life.

I thank you for always being there for me and I know you'll be there in spirit.

Thank you.

Shannon Bruffett

Dear Clovis, I rescued you from the pound with many others on 12/20/01 and brought you home because you & the others were scheduled to be euthanized at 4:00 PM that day. I'm so sorry that you did not survive the illness which spread through the house and took you, Tortie & Moggy within only a few days. You were with me only 17 days but I named you and loved you dearly. Please cross the Rainbow Bridge with me someday soon Clovis; I am so looking forward to that day.

Cy Sawyer

On Tuesday evening, February 12, 2002 our beloved Cluny went to sleep peacefully on the family room hearth. We don't know for certain how old he was; we adopted him as a stray October 28, 1985. At the time our veterinarian told us he was probably a little over a year old and had all the signs of being a purebred Lhasa Apso. We had had no intention of getting a pet... but we had just moved into a house and he was such a darling, and the time seemed right. We will never know what fortunate accident caused Cluny to become a stray and wander into our life. I do know that every time we packed suitcases for a trip he would tremble and climb inside them, terrified of being left behind. We had to assure him how much we loved him, that we would never leave him behind. We told him that he was our little gift from God and that he had found a home forever. Cluny became our inseparable companion through two moves and the birth of two children. My wife taught him tricks. He loved to play ball and wrestle. He was a fast runner and could jump onto a table from a standstill. He would ambush me from behind and tackle me with by knocking my leg out from under me with his shoulder. He would race into our room with tail whirling and jump onto our bed to greet me in the morning. He was a great guard dog and wonderful company. And though he looked like a little poof, he was probably too macho for his own good; he rarely got along with other dogs and had to take a trip to the vet once after catching a possum in our back yard. In the last few years Cluny slowed down. He had trouble jumping onto the bed, and eventually stopped trying. He lost just about all his hearing and most of his sight. He gradually lost control of his bodily functions, and we often had to clean up after him. But he still got around... we went for a walk every night. And even though he could no longer chase a ball or play rambunctiously, he grew more affectionate and gentle, loving a good cuddle, enjoying a lap (which he never wanted to sit on in his youth) and simply wanting to be curled up near the family like one of the pack. A few months ago, after the rest of the family had gone to bed, Cluny had a seizure. He flopped on his side and flailed his legs. I remember holding him, kissing him, telling him to go ahead and go... it was all right. That I didn't want him to suffer. That we'd be okay... But he recovered after only a few moments and was his joyful old self, showing no detrimental signs... plugging along like the good old guy that he was for the next several months. Over the last few weeks Cluny grew more affectionate than ever, even as we could tell he was getting weaker. Our walks grew shorter. Sometimes he wobbled a little on his back legs. He grew thinner, and for Christmas we got him a sweater to so he wouldn't shiver if our walk took us out into a cold night. A week ago Sunday we had a great afternoon communing. I gave him a bath and afterward we spent the afternoon snuggling and cuddling. He took a nap on the bed between my wife and I, the three of us warm and cozy together. This last weekend was great, too. We walked, had some treats, snuggled. On Sunday night we even played a little... me thumping my hand on the floor and him twisting his head, feeling the vibrations through the floor, searching for the hand. In the old days he would have pounced on it... but my little boy's pouncing days were past. I lay on the floor, and he snuggled against me. He licked my face --a special treat, because he was never much of a licker. Then I lay there and petted him for a long while. We took our walk. And afterwards, I had a talk with him, sitting there in the foyer. I don't know why I did it then, but once again, as I held him, I told him how very much we loved him and how we knew that old age was growing hard for him. I promised him he was with us forever. I told him we would never, ever leave him and that we would care for him as long as he had a good quality of life. And I told him that if I ever felt he was in pain or could no longer live in dignity that I would help him to move on with grace. Once again I held my little boy and told him how very much I loved him and that I wanted him to do what he felt was best. I told him that he should go if he felt he needed to, that we would be okay, and that he could scout the way in the next world for the rest of us like the adventurous little boy he had once been --and deep inside was still. Later I kissed him, picked him up, and put him into his bed. The next morning I went off on a brief business trip, saying goodbye to the boy who was curled sleeping on the family room floor. Tuesday night I called home. Along with the other news, my wife said, "Our little Cluny's not feeling too good." The family had come back from my son's school band practice and, when my daughter went to take Cluny outside, he didn't want to get up. My wife had had to carry him outside to go to the bathroom. Then she made a bed for him on the hearth by her feet to watch and make sure he was okay. I asked if he seemed to be in any pain, and she said no, that he was just sluggish and didn't want to stand up. I told her to tell him I loved him, and that we'd see how he was in the morning and next day when I got home. Five minutes later my wife called back to say that Cluny was dead... he had slipped away even as we were talking about him on the phone. I went home and for about fifteen minutes I wept uncontrollably over his body. Then I took him on his final walkie, carrying him to the last bed I would ever make for him on the hillside behind our home. Our family said a prayer. We all cried. Two days later, it is easier to talk about him... but there is still a void inside me. Yet somehow I feel infused with his love. I promised Cluny he would never, ever have to face being left behind again. Now he truly will always be with us. I work in an enlightened office of animal lovers. Many of my co-workers have recently lost companions, too. They offer support and kindness. The owner, who lost her Maltese last month, has been wonderful, and called me after Cluny's funeral to say that in our office the loss of my Cluny is considered a death in the family, and to take all the time I need. But I don't really need time off... just a little time to adapt to life without my boy's physical presence. I am absolutely devastated by the death of my beloved Cluny. I cry. Life will never be the same without him. But he was very old, and his quality of life was declining at an increasing pace. To ask him to stay would have been selfish beyond words. I made Cluny a promise: I told him it was okay to go, that we would be all right without him. He made it easy on me by giving me beautiful memories in his last few weeks, and by slipping away peacefully and painlessly. Now I need to live up to my side of the bargain: I need to carry on and show him, as I promised, that we really will be okay. To do any less would be to risk making him regret the decision he made to move on... and I know that he is far, far better off now than sinking into misery to avoid making me unhappy. I wanted you to know that I found your website and I appreciate the help that you offer. Only now do I truly realize the depth and purity of the love Cluny gave my family and me, and the love he taught us how to give. It is a love I will carry with me forever, even as I promised Cluny that we would never leave him, that he was our little gift from God and had truly found a home in our hearts forever.

John McPherson

My poor baby Clyde. I am so sorry you suffered, but thankful that your time of suffering was short. I hope that you have been reunited with Mocha and that you are now my healthy boy again. I love you with all my heart and you will never be forgotten.

Marnie

Clyde may have been a large dog but his heart was bigger than he ever thought to be. Vet's would shiver when he came to their office but loved him once he left. Clyde contracted cancer after almost a year of fighting ear infections, heart murmur, temporary blindness, and more. He was very healthy the first 6 1/2 years of his short life. He was my son's dog and we will miss him deeply. We love and miss you Clyde.

Dorothy

Clyde was my best buddy. He was very lovable and always knew when u were upset and would come over and give u huggis and kisses. I will truly miss him and always love him. He was the best.

Andrew

Clyde, being half Pit and Rottweiler was not a welcome addition to our pet family by my husband. His concerns were that he would be dangerous and cause trouble and injury.
He came to us as a 9 month old runaway. And he leapt into our hearts all tongue, big brown eyes and a golden body like Arnold Swartzenizer!
He lived with us for almost 10 years developed good manners and melted many hard hearts
We are musicians and singers and he learned to sing. Happy Birthday was his specialty. He was invited to many parties to sing and just be the dog person. It was amazing what a great effect he had on people.
What a special friend and companion he was. Though he did not get along with other dogs, the unfortunate breeding trait of the pit, and did not stop fighting once started. But only four times though, whew. Bad People breeding bad dogs but I digress. Clyde did get along with people big and small young and old and cats and small rodents, like my pet rats I had once. And he was a good mouser of field rodents on the farm. He had discretion with rodents!!
I learned to 'speak dog' by taking dog obedience classes. That's really a disguise for people training! HA HA. That opened up the dog world for me. We enjoined our training and had many tricks to show off. One helpful he taught himself was picking up thinks I dropped and giving them to me.
Bob became so in Love with him and is so grateful that he came into our lives.... My husbands heart is hurting, mine too and our cats. Our old Big Kitty attended the burial and was shedding and eating grass all the while. He was very upset. He walked all over the grave afterwards. Little Kitty is grieving, yowling and looking all over for Clyde. He didn't come to the burial. And the one dog he did get along with, Ivan the Terrier from next door, is now top dog.
It is very empty here without him...his memory is in every room of the house and every place in the garden...friends hearts and photo and videos.
We will have another dog buddy one day but we will be mourning for awhile yet before that happens. Thanks for this opportunity to share our beloved pets story.
KEL

Our big, beautiful boy Clyde was the most adorable and loving dog who has ever walked this earth. May he always have sunny, windy days, long car rides, all the steak he could ever want, and a big king-sized bed to sleep in, just like the one he used to sleep in with his mommy and daddy. We love you, big buddy, and we look forward to that wonderful day when we will see you once more. Until then, please know how very much we love you and miss you, and how much we can't wait to see you again.

Love,
Daddy and Mommy

Coaltown was my first dog and was very special to me. He was my shadow - always with me in my office, everywhere at home - even traveled with us. He had a very strong spirit and always a gleam in his eye.

Mj Bennett-Sandell

We live in a world that so often is too competitive, unforgiving, and even violent, but when we arrive home and these creatures meet us at the door, the problems of the world seem to dissipate and our priorities are once again arranged in good order. Too few understand the profound effect these special creatures have on our lives. They find their way into our homes and they wind their way into our hearts and once they have done so they do not easily let go. So many say “but they are just animals,” but those who make such comments, I fear, live lives that are not as rich as ours. There is something so very special about the unconditional love that these little creatures offer us, a love that perhaps only we and God can understand.

David and Kathleen Waggoner

Cochise you were a soul who had no home, I took you in to be a part of my family, you had a good life, you had along life, you were the best friend a man could ask for!!! I'm sorry I had to let you go it pained me so much!!! I love you Bud!!! Be happy and free again!!!!

Paul Petrovic

I know it will be a year soon that you passed on but Coco, I have not stopped thinking about you ever since. You were my best friend and you was such a sweet, lovable dog and I miss you so much. I will never ever forget you and though my heart still mourns you, I think of all the fun we had and that makes me smile. You will always be in my heart till I die and then we will be together again. I do have a new dog and her name is Zena and you would of loved her as she is so playful and lovable just like you was. I told her all about you and she kind of eases my pain for your loss. well, Coco I love you and you are always with me.

Love, Debbie and everyone else who loved you.

I love you coco, I wish you had never passed on! and even now, as I lay in my bed I share an image with god of you jumping on my bed and curling up next to me, but no more coco....you have now passes on to rainbow bridge a place where you will be happy and out of pain...a tear runs down my face then 2 more and then 3 and then I'm crying non-stop thinking of you and just knowing your not here anymore breaks my heart...but then...as I cry my new puppy tucker comes upstairs and wipes my painful tears away...I smile and think of him, he would not have lived or been adopted if you hadn't died, so in a way its a blessing for him, soo NOW that I think of you once more I am happy and sad all at the same time, but when I don't think of the later outcomes I cry in a pain and grief just knowing that I can no longer see your face everyday of my life, not until I reach rainbow bridge where we will be together again, I love you coco, and HOPEFULLY we will not be apart for long!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss and! love you with all my heart, and as I say these few last words my puppy, Tucker, licks them away....

She came into our lives & helped make us the family we are today. For that, & for being the most loveable dog on the planet, we will always love her & cherish her memory.

Gene, Melissa & Kaleb Manley

Dear Coco,
You were the best kitty I've ever known. You truly were special and one of a kind. Thank you for choosing me to be your adoptive owner when you were just a baby kitten from the Humane Society. I hope I made you feel happy, loved, cared-for and safe while you were here. You loved everyone unconditionally and received much love in return. You were my dearest friend. I will miss you always.

Alison

Our bestest little buddy.....the one who brought so much, and asked for so little in return, was taken from us far too soon. How can such a little creature leave such a big gap in one's life? We'll miss you Coco!!! XOXO

Toni

She was so sweet and we all miss her very much. She was in our lives for so long and she was a part of the family. She became a little old lady and was slowly getting frail and fragile. I hope she is young and vibrant again and playing with our little boy Kozmo that passed away recently. We loved her very much and hope that she knew.

Amy Chase & Judy Haswell

Coco,

Oh what a special dog you were...You are so missed by everyone. We still expect to see you lying on the floor sleeping by the fireplace. Mom still expects you to be waiting for her in the morning to have your Cheerios. Dad still waits to give you your ginger snaps. You have not left our hearts. I hope that you are running like you used to when Bill and JoLynn went horse-back riding and you ran along side the horses. Hope you are there with Maggie and Tasha. We will see you once again, just wait for us. Love you, you special, special baby.

Mom, Dad, Joanne, Bill, JoLynn & Matthew

To our beloved coco. Loved children and cats. You will be missed very much. We love you.

Shari and Glen

Coco was my buddy and she was always there waiting for me when I came home from work. I'll miss her forever and I'll never forget her. Love you little Coco baby...

Denise

Dear Coco, We have loved you so much for so long, It hurts so bad to say goodbye. You were my friend when I was sick, you always were so glad to be with me. I know that there will never be another dog like you, and I hope and pray that someday we will be together again. Love always, Your family

Eric & Lisa Dizard

Hello my sister Coco. I miss you. Getting close to 2 years without you. Feels like forever... I still cry. Nana isn't doing so good. It seems like only yesterday we were hiding together during the storm. It's storming here now, I wish you were next to me. I know you are, but I cant see you. I miss laying down at night, petting your white spot. You knew it was your time, didn't you? I remember you sniffed the whole house before we took you to the ER. Watching you in that cage, helpless, broke my heart. We snuck you in treat, but you were took sick to eat them. You wouldn't eat, you couldn't stand up. It was like a dream... the worst dream possible. But as I get older, I learn more and more why you left and what good you doing for those with you.
Coco, please wait for me... I'll be there some day...
Love you always,
Mom, Julie, Michelle, and Dad
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

You helped me through a very rough time, and you loved and protected me unconditionally. I love you baby. You will forever be in my heart and on my thoughts. Til we meet again...Mommy

It was a very tough decision for me to make, and I feel so much guilty and regret....My life will never be the same without my sweet baby, I miss her so much it hurts. Until we meet again.

Terry

You will always be in our hearts little girl, and you will never leave us. Love Mommy, Daddy, Nikki, and Jessi...

We miss Cocoa so much. If I could take her back for just one more day I would, but I wouldn't trade the days I had with her for anything in the world. I will always remember the way she would nudge me (or bulldoze me) in the mornings to get me out of bed. The ways she had with me to always get her own way! What a dog! She most certainly had a mind of her own. She loved to play fetch. She lived and breathed for fetch except in the last few months of her life. She had a brave struggle with seizures starting at age 7 years and her health rapidly degraded in the last 6 months of her life. We love you Cocoa! Our baby, our sweety.

Janet & Chris & Cocoa's son Fido

Always patient when little arms hugged her tight.
Tolerated riding in a doll stroller without complaint.
Made a comfy pillow for little heads.

A loving mother to kittens Katie and Maggie, and a true and constant companion to her human mummy Sue.

She was loved.

Sue, Kenn, Sarah & Chris

My dear sweet Coco:

I miss you so much - things are not the same without you. I miss holding you and listening to your sweet meezer meow. Your brother Percy and sister, Louisa-Grace miss you also. You were my first siamese and you will always be my special one. Now you have crossed the rainbow bridge to meet up with your brother, Charlie and sister, Chloe. You will not be in any more pain nor will you be lonely. One day we will all be together.

Love Always,

Your "mom"

To our "Precious Princess" CoCo Lee Kelly,

You were, and forever will be the Queen of our hearts! 11 years seems like such a long time.. But now that you're gone.. it seems we could have never had you long enough! We were blessed the second you walked into our lives. We will never forget your beautiful spirit and gorgeous physical appearance. Thank you for always knowing when a member of your family was in need of your gentle loving purr. We apologize for our absence during your time of passing.. but we thank you for the last individual goodbyes you gave to us.. advising that your time was short. I am sure that you are now reunited with your brothers Little Bit and Buddy.. Please tell them that your Sister (their Mommy) says hello and that she loves them! Samuel and Leo are there as well.

You gave us more love and joy then we could have ever deserved to receive from one being. The heartache and pain is so great, it sometimes seems unbearable.. but if given the opportunity we would gladly take the journey with you again.. for the love you gave, will always exceed the sorrow!

Love you forever and always,
Mom, Caroline, and Dad -Written by Caroline Kelly-

Coco was a wonderful member of our family. He enriched our lives by providing us with loyalty, laughter, and unconditional love. We will miss his presence but his spirit will live in our hearts forever. We love you sweetie.

The Patten Family,
Stuart, Irene and Paula.

Coco Puff,

We all miss you - especially Mommy! You were the best little guy anyone could ask for. Together we have shared so many good times and troubled times throughout the years. It was always the highlight of my day to be awakened by your puppy kisses in the morning and greeted when I came home at night. I miss those kisses and greetings.

I am so sorry that no matter what I tried, your battle with cancer was unsuccessful. Now, you are in a special place where there isn't any pain or sickness and you can run and play again. You are in my heart and prayers forever. Please remember that we are separated for only a small moment in time. One day we will meet at the Rainbow Bridge and we will be together again forever. I love you little guy!!!

Love,
Mommy

How can you put in words all the unconditional love you gave me for the time we were together. I miss the mornings and the way you woke me up, as well as the snuggling and cuddling. You will always be a very special girlie girl to me, filled with love for everyone - you earned your title of HRH and you wore your crown with humility. You adopted me and I was thrilled - you are my special girl. There should have been more time - you left me too soon, too fast. You took a piece of my heart with you when you left but one day .... via con Dios my precious baby. Walk with God my beautiful girl. It's good to know that you are with the love of your life, your Fozzie! You are also missed by Dad and da Mikey.

Coda was a supercat.

Coda was beautiful... mostly black with white on each paw, his chin, and the very tip of his tail. He was large and stocky, 16 pounds before lymphoma struck, and from a long line of true midwest barn cats.

Coda was strong... Coda was a hunter, no mouse ever got past him and no dog could ever hurt him. When lymphoma took over, we had no clue and neither did the vet. He never showed his pain and he refused to go. In the end, we had no choice but to help him go.

Coda was loving... He did nothing in his short like but give and receive love. He loved me and his daddy, and when he was not loving us, he was loving the dogs and the kitten.

Coda is survived by his protégé, Aspen, 4 months old. She misses him and is still looking for him all over the house. Coda, she knew you just long enough for you to show her the ropes! Coda is also survived by the dogs he ruled over, Chief and Zuma. They miss you terribly and don't understand where you are.

A cat could not have been more loved. A cat could never be more missed.

Ashli

Our doggie, our companion, has been gone from us now for 2 yrs but will never be forgotten. He has carved a spot in our hearts that will be with us for the rest of our lives no matter how many more like him enter.

We love you Codi!

I Remember...

Codi, I remember the first time I laid my eyes on you, I thought you were one of the more curious concoction of God’s creation, and I knew I had to have you.

I remember the first day you joined our family all you did was stand in a corner and stare at us, as if trying to decide if we were worthy to serve you.

I remember when you used to chase low flying planes and I had to jump off my bike to catch you, always adding a bruise or a scrape to my collection from doing the same thing times before.

I remember feeding you celery and paying the price for it later which I don’t care to go into details.

I remember how you were as always a gentleman and let Buggs, Puddles and Piglet eat and drink first no matter how hungry or thirsty you were.

I remember your first attempt at swimming, the only thing that floated were your enormous cheeks as if they were God’s version of water wings to keep your nose above the water.

I remember your first bath. I jokingly pointed at the tub and said “Codi, Get in.” and you DID! And have done so ever since although you hate baths.

I remember on our first real family Christmas I put pair of Rain deer antlers on your head and you kept it on for the most of the day as if they belonged there.

I remember putting a pair of glasses on you and taking pictures and laughing while you looked at us over the rims as if saying “Are you Dinks about done?”

I remember how you tolerated wearing the silly outfit’s Peggy bought you with look of sincere embarrassment, I think you only did it to make her happy. By the way, she was.

I remember how you managed to give us ever so tiny licks on our noses to show us your affection, but managed to slobber on everything else.

I remember how you actually “smiled” while greeting us at the door each and every day or when we call you over to give you a scratch or two.

I remember how you snored so loud next to my side of the bed that you kept me awake, and I was totally amused that horrendous noise was coming out of your tiny nose.

I remember how patient you were with Zach and Liea when they were much younger and so ornery.

I remember how you would hold it until you’d began to shake to avoid going out in the rain to relieve yourself. I remember how you drove dad crazy by leaving giant “Land mines” in his yard for surprise.

I remember your nose prints on inside of the car windows that I now wish I did not clean off...

There are countless fond memories of you that have spontaneously emerged in my mind everyday for the past twelve years, and these are only fraction of them. You have also provided us with Love, companionship, devotion and loyalty unsurpassed by any other.

You may have left us for now but be assured. You will never be forgotten. You will live forever in all of our thoughts and our hearts.

Codi, go have fun with Yanka, Buggs and Puddles. We love and miss you all...

The Daley’s.

To the bravest, sweetest, loving best friend we ever had!

Mary Lou, Maggi and Aunt Ruth

No words can truly express what I feel right now. Go rest along God's side, and know you have truly touched our lives forever. We love you buddy!

Kira Richardson

My husband and I miss her very much. And she was a very special dog to us she will be in our hearts forever

You left us too soon. We think of you everyday and will see you again when we cross the "bridge."

David Leach

I brought you home and kept you. Others just kept taking you back to the breeder. That is there loss. I can't tell you Cody how much I miss you. You are my special Bubby.

"I Love This Boy"

Me

Cody
It has been almost a year since you died of cancer and I still miss you so much. I cry almost every day about losing you at such a young age. 6 years old was too young to die. Cory and Toby are loving and caring towards me, but they just aren't you. They do not cuddle with me or play with me like you did. I miss your hugs. You were the best Cody. Your love of all living things was unbelievable. You did not have one mean bone in your body.
I still can picture you running in the backyard. That beautiful dark shiny red coat flowing. You were so vain. You knew you were a good looking dog. You always made dad and me laugh. People still talk about you and tell me that they never saw a dog love his owner as much as you loved me.
I still miss you so much. You were so strong at the end. We really tried to beat this awful disease. I know you didn't want to leave me. Cody, you are gone from site, but will never be gone from my mind or my heart. I still love you so. You were like a child to me. My big goofball, you will ever be in spirit. Your love of life has taught me many things and I thank god for the short time I did have with you.

Dan Zalone

Dear God, take special care of our Cody now that he has passed on to You. He was such a good dog when he was here with us. He took care of me when I needed taking care of, and then welcomed Paul into our home when it was time. He gave so much and asked so little - he was such a wonderful example of Your unconditional love. Help heal our broken hearts as we go on without him, until it's time for us to join him and You.

Cris and Paul Balkam

A wondrous spirit full of love and silliness, I hope to be reunited with you soon in whatever form the creator has planned for us. Your unique spirit is forever remembered cherished. Visit us often and know we love you!

Stacey Ford (Momma) & Mal Parsons (Daddy)

Cody,

You have been sick for a long time, so I knew this day would come, but it still is hard to come home without you there. I remember getting up every two hours to feed you when you were a baby like it was yesterday. I remember the day I came home from work when you had rearranged the house and ambushed me when I came through the door because you had nothing better to do all day. I remember when I picked you up from the hospital when you first became ill. You were so happy to see me that you couldn't stop kissing my face. Now, the pain that you felt is gone. We will miss you, everyday. We will always love you and remember.

Rest in Peace, my friend.

Your family, Dad, Mom & Mia

Cody came into our home, and quickly won a place in all of our hearts = He had such a kind loving heart = gentle with all people and other animals. He was taken from us suddenly when he got killed by a train. We miss him terribly. He was such a beautiful dog.
We will never forget him. Maybe, Someday we will meet again = My Codella Man.

Robin Donovan

Goodbye, my dear, special Cody Bear. I miss you so much, my heart could break. Thank you for the time we had together; thank you for leaving us the way you wanted to - outside where you loved it the most, and in my arms, where you always felt safest and most loved. I will never forget you. You will be in my heart always. Goodbye, for now, my special little angel. Your soul burns brighter now than I could have ever possibly imagined. Nobody loves you like I do, and nobody ever will: Always, Always and Always......

Tobey

With the arrival of October, it comes on to 3 months since you crossed the Rainbow Bridge (and 11 years since I first held you in my arms). I still cry when I think of you, and of our last moments together. I miss you still so much. It is so hard to know that I will never hold you again. Wherever you are, I hope you know how much I still love you. I have spent 3 months thinking of all the "if-onlys" - But only one "if-only" creeps into my thoughts every day - "If only you were still here, I would hold you tight and not let go; remember every detail, every heartbeat, every smell, and touch and sight of you - engrave you on my heart and my mind forever." I miss you, and I love you, Cody Bear.

My dearest Cody ( me mee )my beautiful angel, my little boy, my best friend. Daddy loves you and misses you so much. My heart is broken, but you are out of pain and now up at rainbow bridge playing with all your new friends. Daddy is always thinking of you and will always love and miss you.
I know you are still here with me in spirit. Remember what I told you about every time I look and talk to your pictures, or watch one of your many videos with you and all our good times that we always had together, you will know that I am thinking of you and that is how we can talk to each other. Cody, I think about you all the time and you will always be in my thoughts and in my heart. I will always remember when we first met and that you were the most quiet and distinguished of all your brothers and sisters. I will always remember how you always watched the birds, butterflys, airplanes and everything you saw in amazement because you were brand new. How you loved to bite the heads off of grandmas tulips, and how you always liked to play and pick on everyone especially aunt Marlene and grandpa. Cody you are the best friend that I ever had. There was always so much fun and love in you. I still have all your baby teeth. You are the only baby that I know of that when you found something on the ground or had something in your mouth you would always bring it to one of us or throw it to us. You always would flip everything off of your tongue because you loved to play catch. Especially when it was time for you to eat, you would play catch with all your pieces of food, and how much you loved mushrooms. You were the only Siberian that had Elvis sideburns and a star that looked like a stealth jet bomber airplane between your beautiful eyes. I will miss how you would stand on the console between the front seats of the convertible or the sun roof of your other car with your head held up high and proud. Pet smart will never be the same with-out you riding in the shopping cart with your front paws standing up on the front of the cart and staying in that position because you knew that you were beautiful and you the king of the store. Cody, anything that I do will not be the same with-out you next to me. Cody, I will always remember you on your special birthdays and how much you loved them because you knew that it was all for you. And how you got upset when you knew that the party was for someone else, daddy always tried to make it so that it was for you, but you wouldn't have it and you would pout and ignore us. Christmas will never be the same. How daddy would buy a tree for you and load it up with all Cody ornaments with tons of presents under the tree just for Cody. How much you loved to play in the snow and how much you loved to go for walks. Cody, daddy's life will never be the same with-out you. I just can't stop thinking about you and how much you mean to me, all the fun we had together and how you are the most special part of my life and my heart.
You have been gone for only one month, today is the forth of July and I still can't believe that you are gone. I walk in the door and still think that you are home waiting for me to play with you and go for our walk. You put up a strong fight trying to get better but you couldn't hold on anymore.
Even when you were that sick and in the hospital you would try to play. And when I would lay next to you on the floor, you would put your paw over my mouth and almost in it telling me to be quiet and that you wanted to rest. You were one of a kind and still funny even though you were so sick.
Daddy was always very protective of you and would not let anything ever happen to you. I am sorry I couldn't protect you this time. Please forgive me Cody, if the vet told me the truth about the drug that hurt you I wouldn't have let you take it. I was with you right until you died in my arms and that you knew that I was right there. I will always think of you and you will always be in my heart. Someday we will see each other and be together again never to be separated again. Cody, daddy loves you, I miss you and I will never forget you. You will always be in my heart and I will always be thinking of you. We all miss you and daddy will see you again some day. I love you Cody. Xxxxxxoooooo
Love daddy, freckles, grandma,
Aunt Marlene and
Everyone that loves you
Cody, daddy loves you, have fun at rainbow bridge and with all your friends. I will see you again someday and we will never be apart again. I love you my beautiful angel.

Stinkerboo I know you are no longer in pain now but I am still selfish and long to see you and touch you one more time. Sometimes the thought of seeing you at Rainbow Bridge is all that keeps me going. If you have not found Grandpa yet, go look for him - he will scratch your chin for you. 12 years and 1 month to the day seems like it went by like a blink of an eye. I miss you so much and will listen for your thumping tail when I get to Rainbow Bridge myself. What a time we had together and will have again Mr. Whiteface.

Michelle Wright

Cody I love you in more ways than I would ever know. You were my special friend. I could always count on you for the love you shown and all you wanted was love in return. You are missed by so many right now, I haven't seen dry eyes in a week. Gene and I miss you and Grandpa miss you, your momma Lydia misses you and Dave and Molly miss you. You are a special Golden Boy and I long for the day that I can meet you on the bridge.

I love you,
your daddy Chuck

My daughter rescued this tiny cat from certain death while she was attending college, so she brought him home for me to care for him. He hardly had any hair left from neglect and starvation and was covered with sores and scabs. No creature ever needed loving more than he, or gave love in such huge measures, despite only being five pounds in size. He was tiny but with the world's nosiest purr and loudest snore. He placed himself at the refrigerator whenever a human was near. He had incredible moments of going "crazy-cat" around the house and then settled down for a three or four hour nap. I slept every night for ten years with him laying upon my ankles, now I can no longer sleep in that bed because I wake up waiting for him. I whispered secrets to him that I would never tell another soul and he never violated my trust. His death has torn a huge hole in my heart.

Janet Jacobsen

To my wonderful Cody (Codster),

I miss you so much already! Mom and Dad called earlier tonight and told me that you were not well. By the time you hear me telling you this, your brother in law will be putting you down to a better place, a happier one, one without pain. Cody, when I first saw you I fell in love with you! We bonded like super glue on that very first day in August of 1991. You were the pal that I always wanted to have, the brother I dreamed of having. We were buds, real close ones, we could do everything together and boy let me tell you I loved doing everything with you! I loved how you would carry the leash in your mouth when we would take you for a walk. I will always remember that time we walked in the blizzard of '93 and fell asleep together in the snowstorm for an hour. We always had such a great time together. I am sorry that you could not hang around to meet my daughter, Rachel, she is a beautiful girl. I will tell her many stories about you when she gets old enough. Linda loved you so very much also. She thought that you we one great guy! She took great comfort in knowing you were there for her in Mom and Dad's house. I truly miss you my best furry friend in the world! I love you. We love you so very much! I will see you again some day, I promise you that! I have a lot of jerkys to give you and a lot of walks to go on when I get there! I miss you! WE miss you!

Rest well, my handsome gentleman, my buddy for every!

Love always,

Seth, Linda, and baby Rachel

My Cody was my best friend. He was so smart and beautiful. One day he jumped from my truck and ran off, was caught by some horrible people who didn't bother to call me, and I never saw him again. I looked for him for months, even in the winter. I wish I had been able to keep him home in a nice big yard for him to play in. I pray he found someone who loves him half as much as me, and if he passed, I hope it was quick and painless.

Sondra

To our beloved Cody, your mommer and dadder will always love you and miss you. We will never forget and will always keep you close in our hearts and minds. You are the best Cody in the world and heaven. Cody you have always been there for us, you traveled, fished, boated, and Frazed with us with enthusiasm. Have fun and food while you wait for us. Be good, and remember we will be together again. Take care, love you your mommer and dadder.

Cody was a wonderful dog. We rescued him from the animal shelter where he was going to get put to sleep. He always followed me around where ever I went. When I sat down he would always lay at my feet. Even though he had epilepsy and arthritis he was the sweetest most gentle dog we have ever had. I love him very much and will forever miss him. He was my bubbles or as my daughter would say Mr. Wiggles.

My little Cody, I loved you so much for the short time you were with us, I'm sorry you had to suffer so bad with the parvo. You will always be loved and remembered.

Debbie

A beautiful coat and a shy playfulness first attracted me to this little black and tan bundle. You really stood out from all your brothers and sisters. I remember how small you were at first...completely fitting in the small seat of a cramped sports car. You grew up to be so handsome and big, but you always acted like you were a small lap dog. I remember your "Vaun" saying you were the epitome of innocence. Yet your large profile and your breed's reputation helped guard and protect your home and your "busters." Cody, I know no pet "deserves" to die young, but you were so sweet and gentle...it just hurts so much to know I can never play with you again or snuggle in bed with you. You were the child I could never have. Your "Dillon" misses you so much. Because of what happened with me, I can't see him-but I know he quietly wanders that big house looking for his buddy, not understanding what happened. Cody, I love you so much. I will never forget you

Today, Feb. 15th is eight months since we sent you on your journey to Rainbow Bridge, it seems like an eternity. The tears I cry are because you're gone from me physically, but spiritually I know you're still with me, I feel your presence. You are all this poem says and so much more, you are my soulmate. I hope I was worthy of your devotion. I know you're with everyone who crossed the Bridge before you, please take extra special care of Nanny and Pops. I know I will see you all again. My Love Forever Mom XXXOOO

My baby crossed the bridge this afternoon. I rescued him on a beautiful summer day in 1989 and he reached the bridge on a beautiful day not unlike our first together. Baby, I know your pain is gone now. I miss you so much.
Daddy and Lance

Your life was too short, but your love was unconditional. I will always have a hole in my heart for you little guy.

We lost our 32 year-old horse, "Coffee" to a heart attack & we will always love & miss our gentle giant so, so much. Coffee is in a better place now where he is rolling through the grass & running as fast as he can once again.

Jessica Garrison

Colada,

My beautiful sweet kitty, you are missed so very much. You went through so much with me. You will always be in my heart.

Colby, you and I have been together for such a long time. I have had you since I was 10, and you have been through it all with me. I have a family of my own now, and you have always been part of it. It is hard to imagine life without you. You have been my constant companion and I am going to miss you so much. I will miss you laying beside me each night. I will miss your "pretty". I will miss your meow and just the way you walked. Mostly, though, I will just miss holding and loving you. Thank you. Thank you for always being such a good friend to me. You have given me so much and I hope I have done what is right for you. I am sorry you got sick. I did what I thought was right, but you were just too old. I will see you though. You will be waiting for me someday. I love you.

Colby

I will never forget you my little friend. As the seasons change, my love for you will not. As time passes from fall to summer my heart will ache for you.

To my angel doggie,

In fall, I'll think of you "prancing" through the falling leaves, as you sniff all God's earthly scents.
In winter, I'll think of your footsteps left behind in the crisp white snow.
In spring, I'll think of those booms of thunder that scared you so, and wish that I could comfort and hold you tight.
In summer, I'll think of the serenity of the oceans water as the peace you now feel in heaven... my angel doggie.

All of our love forever Colbus,

Carla, mommy, daddy, Thisby, Mike, Caity, Michael and all your family

Colby was a wonderful companion for 12 years. I picked her out on the day she was born and loved her every moment since then. She loved to go for walks when she was young and she loved her treats, especially bread. Colby was the best sentry in the pack, even better than her German Shepherd Dog siblings! Even after losing her sight and hearing, she kept her spunk. Only in the last few months, did she slow down. She has only been gone for 2 days, but I miss her so much. She was a special dog with a big heart. Coal Bear, I know that you are in a better place and without any pain. I will always love you.

Dear Sweet Coleman,

You're with your momma now, your litter mate, J.D. and your older brother, Dexter, who was taken from us only a few days ago. Be at peace, we think we may now know who poisoned you and the others. If there is anything that can be done, we will pursue this and try to see that it stops, before they kill any more of your siblings. We loved all of you and will always miss your sweet faces and meows. I regret that we didn't finish the house in the country in enough time to save all of you from this terrible end. Wait for us, we'll be expecting to see you when our time comes. We buried your little body on our land out in the country, next to where we will eventually be buried. Play and be happy, little Coleman. We're glad you're no longer in pain, or suffering. We know it must have been a horrible way to die.

Love,
Your Mom, Susan & the Daddy man, Johnny

COLEN

c. 1993- December 1, 2002

Colen if only you could read this.

My sister Ruth ann brought you to me. You were just a kitten, so small, so cute and full of energy.

You had a shiny silky grey coat with big pink ears, looking so cute.

You came into my life in 1993. I believe that was in April of '93. I just moved on my own in a little bachelor apartment on Richmond Street. It was just me and you!!!

You brought me so much laughter Colen, I learned alot about myself through you. You taught me about inner peace, love, sensitivity and compassion.

You had such a beautiful presence about you Colen. Many people commented how spiritual and wise you looked. I saw this too. You had an incredible essence, it was very strong!!

You and I would move around from place to place, living a very interesting life together.

I remember the times you'd prance yourself around others, showing off how cute you looked! It was very funny seeing that! I remember smirking, watching you as you showed off!! You cutie.

I know there were hard times you faced in your life with me baby, and I'm sorry for that. I felt your pain and I still do today.

I'll miss your "little button nose", talking to you in my kitty voice, calling you to your dish, giving you snacks - a time you liked the most! And singing to you exclusively, like you were my audience, and you were! - I'm sure your not missing Tori Amos, but hey maybe you are???!! I'll miss flipping you over onto your back from your bed to rub your (rolly polly) belly up and down and asking you "what is this Colen?" "what's that?" as I continued to rub your big belly!! I'll miss seeing you come over to greet me when I would get up in the afternoons, I would always say "you were such a greeter!" - how thoughtful and caring you were. I'll always miss giving you "sweet, sweet kisses" and rubbing your chin and ears and feeling your fur, petting you, and touching you.

Colen, "Mister Colen", "Mister C", "Colen Meister", and "Baby", I will miss EVERYTHING about you.

My heart feels empty, and I wish I could do things over. I wish I cuddled you more, slept with you and gave you many more kisses. I LOVE YOU COLEN.

I'm sorry for not catching your sickness baby. I wasn't aware you were sick. I didn't catch it.

You were my first kitty and a VERY SPECIAL CAT!

Frisky and Moonbeam will always miss you too sweetheart.

I LOVE YOU COLEN, I love you so much and I will miss you always.

Please come visit me in my dreams, in the house, and in my ceremonies.

I LOVE YOU COLEN. You were my baby.

I can just imagine all the attention your getting now!

You play sweetheart, dance, rest and fill up on love. You and I will meet up again, and I will look forward to that day. I'll be talking to you baby.

Love always Martha Troian.

Martha and Colen Forever

Our "first" baby. How we miss you. You brought so much fun to us. Chasing us around your snow paths, running with crab apples in your mouth, your head on our pillows, that excitement you showed when we would come home, your love of us was unconditional and true and can never be replaced. We will never forget you and all the happiness you gave to us. We can only hope your years with us were as happy for you as they were for us. We love you, Daddy and Mommy

You still live on in everything & everywhere I turn I feel you as if you never left.
I missed you all day & every day to come.
I love you & will see you in my dreams...

Comet - 11/5/01

Today was a very sad day for me. My dog Comet was getting horribly thin, and very sick... We tried to get her to eat... but she just wouldn't. Hours later she was vomiting up blood. I'm sorry, this just all happened so fast... Only a week ago she was running around in the yard happily, like she always did. Only a few hours ago I went and checked on her, I just couldn't sleep at all. I walked out in the backyard and saw her in her house, lifeless. God, I can't believe this is happening. I never really experience death at all in my life- and I was bracing for my older dog, Cody, to pass before Comet would. Five years ago people were saying that Cody would die soon, no one once ever said that Comet was going to.

We got Comet at this time of the year about 12 years ago... I can still remember the day I got her, picking her out at TLC, seeing her and Cody meet for the first time, and I remember watching her sleep for the first time. She was always there for me, she was always nice to the kids in the neighborhood. I remember her always sitting in the family room by the window, looking outside. She was almost human to me. I miss how she'd always jump around wagging her tail furiously, and I remember how that got her tail broken. Looking back, she was a deep part of my life. I didn't live a day past my 5th birthday without seeing her, wagging her tail and licking her lips happily. I remember how we always gave her a can of pedigree on Christmas. I miss having her follow me out to the front yard, pulling out cans on garbage day. She was always there for me. She defended me. I can't believe how fast this happened. It hasn't even been three hours, and already I feel the most pain I've ever felt in my life. When me and Cody would play fetch, I remember Comet always stealing the toy from him and running into her doghouse, and how we'd chase her and try to get it from her. She was so much a part of me that I feel like something is missing, like my heart or my stomach. I loved her so much.

I don't know if there is a heaven, or where a living being's soul goes when it dies, but I hope she can see me now, still crying in front of the keyboard as I type this right now. I hope she knows that I'm sorry for not spending more time with her, and I'm sorry that we couldn't get a vet for her, to keep her here. Comet's body is resting now in her doghouse, where she'd always go when she was afraid of the hose, or sleeping, or stealing toys.

I will always remember you Comet, you've always been there for me, and I wish we could have saved you... I really do. Rest in Peace.

Comet 11/5/2001

My Best Friend & loving Companion, although you crossed over the Rainbow Bridge almost 1-1/2 years ago, it seems like yesterday that you were here with me "Mr Paws"....
I know that you are safe there and you are not in any pain anymore....You were my first "husky" experience and I'll love & miss you forever!!
Love Always Kelly

We will always love you and miss you; now, run and play again with no pain...we will see you again "puppy dog".

Beth & Tim Guernsey

Dear God, I'm sure you are already aware, but you have the most wonderful dog in your care now. Connie was always what we called on "old soul." She was there when I needed her without question and with a wag of her always thumping tail. I know she is up there now playing tug of war and chasing tennis balls with her old friend Breeze. Let her know that she will always be missed and remembered.

Conway gave me 14 very special years. I miss him so!! He was given to me by a dear friend and he went through a lot with me. He was born June 5th, 1988 and I named him Conway after my favorite singer Conway Twitty. [June 5th,1993 country singer Conway Twitty died on my Conway's 5th birthday.] My Conway could sing too! He and my other dog, Shorty-Lamar, would sing whenever I would ask them to. Conway loved toys and if you asked him to go get any certain toy he would go get what you asked for! The last toy he loved was his "Zoie-baby", she was like the Elmo doll that giggles, she did too and he loved that! He could sit up like a pretty boy, he could give low five, high five and jerry springer "its over, five!" OH!!! He could talk too, YES! he could talk, if I was eating something and he wanted some, he would have to sit-up like a pretty boy and say "I want it!" and he would say "I want it!" He did!!!! He had his special "Conway's Corner" bed in my bedroom, his pet porter, and my grandpa's old old vinyl recliner that he loved to sleep in. He didn't like hair cuts or baths until they were over and then he would strut around. His favorite foods after his dog food were my homemade popcorn, French Fries (Happy Meals), Fritos, his egg taco from the taco stand, ice, popcicles, gravy and once in a while special treat of a McDonalds ice cream cone. Yes, he was spoiled! He was my baby!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU CONWAY!!!!!!!!! sing for the Angels, baby, cause I know you can.

To my sweet cookie,
We love you and miss you very much. I am at peace knowing you are feeling no pain now because you are in a better place. But I am still sad that a car had to take you away from me. I wish we could have had more time together I will remember you always.

Love your family

To my dear owner Lynn
Love from, Cookie

Beyond The Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played, I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.

I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.

'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold.

And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be, We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

Love ... Cookie

God wanted me to know his Blessing. He gave me you, my sweet Cookie girl. Your unconditional love, your adorable face, a million billion kisses, your wonderful heart, your precious eyes. I was so unhappy and wanted to give up, but then God gave me you and life was worth living, life was special, you are special and I miss you more than I can stand. I pray that God takes me to Rainbow Bridge so I can hold you in my arms again and cover you with a million billion kisses. God Bless you baby girl.
Love,
Mom

My Cookie, My Honey Bunny, I miss you so much!
I still cannot believe you are gone I pray you are at peace.
I expected us to be together for may more years, you were so
young. I think of you and pray for you each day.
I Love You Always my Bright Eyes!
Your Mom.

Cookie,
We will miss you! I hope you have found pearl and are playing once again!

Barb

You have a magical power to love and inspire love in every person whom you ever had the chance to meet. You were our only child and the heart of our home, always welcoming, always present. Though you have passed on, we still feel the warmth of your gaze and peace preserved in your heart. We miss you more than words can express because your passing was too sudden for such a healthy and happy life. I regret that we will never be able to show you on earth the fullness of the love that would have come to you over many more years together. Please know that in your time with us we gave you the best of our love, not only in countless kisses and hugs, but also in the moments of excitement and solace that you created. I hope your memories of us will always be fond, as our are of you. Yours is a legacy that will always be cherished for the rest of your parents' lives.

Rob and Miriam

To our loving little Cookie also nicknamed "Tutu" who was our joy for 17 years.

We will always remember you with your trusting eyes and your loving affection. With your playful ways, your tugs of war, and in your later years, your sweet gentleness - - - and near the end your need for our gentleness.

Losing you tore our hearts, our baby Cookie, but we have entrusted you to Higher Hands until we are together again.

Love Always,

Daddy, Momma, and Shayla

We love you little girl, you will always be in our hearts. We'll see you soon at the bridge. Love always, Mommy and Daddy

We had to put our "baby girl" down due to old age. She was 15 years old, and she always so happy. We will miss our little girl, but we know she is at Rainbow Bridge playing with all the other dogs and cats there free of pain.

We will miss you always,

Tonya & Stephen

Cookie, You were our little girl for so many years. You were Mom and Dad's comfort and love when Sis and I were not around. God bless you little one and thank you for your loving care. We will always remember and miss you...see you at that Rainbow Bridge.

Much love, Jimmie

Cookie, I can't blame you for giving up. You missed your brother, Patches who died only a week before you too much. It is really hard for me to go downstairs now and go feed you.... even though you are no longer there. You and Patches will always be the "guinea fuzz" no matter what. Please know that I love you and I am so glad that you and Patches are together again... you and Patches will always be in my thoughts. I love you and miss you!- Rachel

I got C.J. from the Humane Society in 1990. He was the "pet of the week" in our local newspaper, and when I saw his beautiful, expressive face, I knew he was meant to be my cat. Over the years, he has moved with me a few times, and had many different companion cats, but he always maintained the most mellow, loving, wonderful disposition, and he will be greatly missed by many people.
We are carving your name in your tree C.J. We love you.

Mother and Father

My dear sweet Cooper, rest in peace now free from the pain that has troubled so much lately. Run, jump and enjoy all that wonderfulness that made you so special. You will be missed by all the lives you touched. We love you, our special, wonderful dog.

Cooper, On April 17th we lost you. You are so much a part of the family. You are greatly missed. You were such a good boy .We will remember you in our hearts and will wait for the day when we can be together. Until then have fun, we love you. You will always be the Super Cooper. Love your Family.

manis missed so much never will I forget thank you for being my dog its so hard without you your dad

David L Davis

Copper,

You came into our life two years ago--we took you away from that shelter and gave you a wonderful home, but for some reason you loved to get out and run and run and run, we were always able to get you back home, but that one night, we couldn't and you were taken suddenly from our lives.

You made us the happiest parents ever, with that great personality, you always knew how to make us smile, no matter what was wrong. You loved to run, jump, play and do things that we really truly believed no other could do.

We hope in our hearts that the day you left us, you were that Bright Shooting Star we saw up in the heavens. Every time we see a bright star in the sky, we will know that it is you saying hello and that you are alright.

Copper--remember one thing, we loved you then and we love you now and we will never forget you-but we do know one thing, you are up there running and running, and having the time of your life.

We will see you again someday and so will your little brother Harley, he misses you too. Someday, we will all be together again and then we can all run, jump and play, just like we used to.

Mamma and Papa

Copper-We miss you so much. You brought so much happiness to our family in the 8 years you were with us. The memories we shared will always be close to our hearts. Just know that we loved you very much.

Steve, Mary, Steven, Laurie & Ashley

We didn't have her long, only one night. After Mitsu died (19 Dec/01) we went to pick up two kittens. Two lovely tabbies. "Coquette" lay in my lap all the way home, purring. I couldn't figure out who wouldn't want such a sweetie. She was sick in the car, and all night at home. She wouldn't eat, and hid under the bed. We kept her apart from the other new kitty (Martini!) and we took her back to the vet at the shelter the next day. The vet tried for a week to save her (and six others who were also sick from the same thing). Her previous family hadn't vaccinated her against Feline Distemper! How cruel and dumb some people are, too miserly to care for such a lovely creature, and she died. Never had a chance, and she almost had a chance at a good home, we would have taken good care of her and loved her so. I miss her, she was so sweet. We didn't have her long, but I pray for her every night. It was a lot to take to have 2 kitties pass away within a month. I hope she is with Mitsu, and they are at peace, and feel no pain. I can't wait to see them again, I really love and miss them both.

Catherine

No bigger heart nor sweeter friend will ever be found. A friend who would sit eye to eye with a soulful gaze conveying an unconditional bond that was unique. An acceptance that whatever you could offer was enough, acknowledging your human-ness and accepting your faults without complaint. It is our prayer that Corbin loved our companionship as much as we loved his. We miss him deeply.

Michael & Mary Beggs

We miss you already and will forever.
You touched our lives every day making them better.
We will never forget you or stop thinking of you our girl!

Cheryl & Joey

I will love my Corey Bear forever and a day, and cannot wait to see him again...

Laura Kappler

Corky was a very special little dog and our best friend.
We miss you muttly
Meet you at the bridge

Jerry, Kathryn & Ira Snelling

Corkie was our blue merle girl with one blue and one brown eye. Her sweet face attracted interest from people wherever she went. Loyal and true, she was always ready to go for a walk or a ride. A natural athlete, she was graceful flying after a frisbee, and speedy chasing a squirrel. Our lives are richer for having her even though nothing will fill the empty place she left with us. We remember with gratitude her total acceptance and unconditional love.

R. and E. Fiori

Thank you for being a great dog. I love you.

Vera Grimm

My special Corky: I miss you very much. I love you very much. I can't believe you are gone. I can't get use to this. I didn't never think I would have to go through this. I knew you wouldn't last forever. I really hope you are better off. I wish I could hold you just one more time. I wish I could brush you just one more time. I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!

Rest N Heaven

Dear Corky dog: You were the love of my life and you are so missed. This house is so empty without you. I am so lucky to have known you. You taught me the meaning of true love, Unconditional love. I thank you for being my friend. Through the many years you were always there for me. I hated to let you go but I feel your presence even now. I know one day we will meet again because we were two hearts beating in just one mind. Goodbye my love

Carol Vandam

Corny,
I miss you more than you will ever know Furbs! You were my one constant and I will always love You. Pumpkin misses you too! Corn Dog, I never knew how much I loved you till now and I am so thankful you died in your mothers hands! Your favorite Ma and Pops! We Love You and may God watch over you until we see you again!!!!

Ryan and Katy

Cornelius - You were the love of my life. I could always count on you for your furry support and unconditional love. I will miss you with all of my heart and will see you in heaven to hear your purr again. I love and miss you my lil buddy. It will never be the same having to be awaken by an alarm clock now!!! Your paw print will always remain in my heart!!!

These were two very precious guinea pigs that were bred to show, but they never made to the age of showing. Romeo was a tri-colored long (VERY long) haired beautiful, energetic, playful, talkative, happy little guinea pig. Cornellius was a long curly haired orange beautiful, shy yet friendly, adorable, sweetheart. These two passed away from pneumonia. I tried with all of my heart to save them with lots of vitamins, anti-biotics and round the clock care and love. But their little bodies just couldn't fight it. I had a lot of love for them and I miss them so so so much!!! I miss hearing their squeeks when I opened the refrigerator or walked past their cage. I miss brushing their beautiful hair and having them sit on my lap and petting them. They were great, and I miss them! I Love and Miss you Cornellius and Romeo, and we'll meet at that special bridge some day!! Love, Mommy

"Smuggled" (rescued) over the Mexican border at the age of three weeks, he fit in the palm of my hand. I fed him with a bottle, he helped to prepare me for mothering a human child. When his human "brother" was born, he was terrific, always gentle. He grew to be 92 lbs. and looked just like a Bernese Mountain Dog. He had an enormous heart...but that's what killed him. He literally had an enlarged heart. He died very unexpectedly we presume of a heart attack. I'm glad my son knew him. My son is now five and barely understands why he can't see his doggy brother.
Cortez, I'll have a blue Christmas without you.

To our fluffy, furry, precious angel:
We miss you...it's hard to believe you will never greet us at the door as we come home, or follow us around looking for treats.
You were our little bundle of unconditional love, always funny, faithful, and full of life. We will miss your wonderful smile, and your soft warm presence.
Where you are now, your eyes are clear, and your legs are strong.
Always you will live deep in our hearts. How we miss and love you... remember us as you play with all your friends at the Rainbow Bridge.

Shaunie, Dave, and Mindy

I was given Cosette as a Valentines gift the first year my husband and I were married. She was the best gift I ever have or will receive!! She graced three of our homes over the past 10.5 years and saw us bring both of our children into the world. She loved us unconditionally and protected us without reserve. She was a true Bouvier in often outsmarting me. I have had many animals in my life but there will never be another like Cosette. We loved and still love you dearly. You are sadly missed by your family. We will often visit "Cosette's Garden" so we can feel close to you.

Ben, Kara, Benji, & Ross
(The Mancuso's)

Cosette was the light of our life. She made our house a home. We would like to thank Dr. Charlie Weiss and the staff at Bradley Hills Animal Hospital for their compassion, support and understanding during this terrible time. Our grief is unbearable, and we hope that Cosette is at peace and free of pain. We will always love her and cherish our time with her.

Jacki and Ron

Cosmo was the best cat I ever had. He was very affectionate. I will miss him dearly because of his always there beside me no matter if I was happy or sad. He was the friendliest cat ever. I remember when I was in labor he was following me around trying to get me to smile. My toes will no longer be attack, my paper won't be stood on, I won't hear his meows when I have meat out.....what I wouldn't do to get that back again:( The tears are rolling down my face as I type this. How can life be so cruel and take away such a little angel!!!

Tanya

I got Costeaud when he was about 9 years old. He had been living with a woman in Orlando, FL (a good friend found him thru the internet, then she and I met on the phone) (I live outside Mobile, AL) and I drove down to get him on the Saturday before Christmas in 1988. The woman who had him had had an accident and couldn't walk him on his leash anymore. We're talking about a 96 pound bouv who needs space to run, not an apartment or a leash. We have a good sized home and 11 acres of property. Coz took to me right away and was the sweetest, most loving fur child I think I've ever had. He was never more than 2 feet away from me. He would follow me up and down the stairs and slept at the foot of my bed, even when his arthritis got really bad toward the end. In those last days he would wait at the bottom of the stairs until I told him I was upstairs for the night, then he would trudge upstairs and settle in by the bed. I stayed up with him all night the night before he died. He cried in pain most of the night.
I called a dear friend the next a.m. who came right over; he picked up Costeaud to carry him to the car for me. Obviously Coz had great trust in this man; as soon as he picked Coz up to take to the car, Coz never whimpered again. Then he stayed here and dug Coz's resting place while I took him to the vet's office. Both vets came out and sat on either side of him in the back seat and petted him and talked to him and generally soothed him. I could tell that Costeaud had no fear and was looking forward to his final rest.
Then when I brought him home, my friend had his resting place ready; I kept his collar and tags, put one of my necklaces on him and put a few of his favorite things with him.
It's now been 13 months since Coz went to the bridge, but I am having the worst time of my life getting over losing him. I wake up at night and expect to hear him snoring at the foot of the bed. He was so good and so smart. He knew from my reactions whom he could trust and whom he was to protect me from. I really don't think he was ever physically more than 2 feet away from me, especially if we had a few people in the house; at those times he was more protective of me than ever. When I drove to get him, I knew he was an older dog (another woman in my office made a really nasty remark about "why was I wasting my time getting an 'old dog' as he was only going to die anyway"). But I fell in love with him the first minute I saw him. Plus I wanted to make his last few years as happy and carefree as possible, and I could give him all the space he wanted to run and play. He rewarded me by living nearly a year long than do most bouviers. He was the best; there will never be another like him.
Oh, and my friend who found him thru the internet - the night after he died, she knew it and called me the next morning asking what time he passed. I asked her why. She said he came to her the night before, and nudged her awake with his big black nose. When she asked him why he came to her, he replied that "you helped me find my mama", meaning me. He's visited me a couple of times but won't come when I'm really grieving and crying. Once I get past that type of reaction, he will visit me in my dreams, or I will visit him. I believe in this sort of thing, so nothing seems strange to me, just quite reassuring, like he's watching over me all the time, which is a good feeling.
Thanks for letting me get this all out.

Lynn Sciple

My Darling Cos-
You were always there, brown eyes ever trusting, ever loving me. You were a Lab's Lab right to the very end. It happened so fast, just days, but God saw fit to have me home to be with you. Thank you for being my dog. There will never be another like you in my life.
God has prepare a mansion for me in Heaven. It won't be home without you there so please be there waiting for me.
Love, Mommy

One in a million.
I took you to the vet with a minor problem and she killed you. I have to live with that guilt.
You were always there for me and Ralph.
A very special bird and friend.
Still miss you.

Dear Coty - You live inside me and always will. Thank you, Sweetie, for thirteen years of love and laughter. You're such a Good Boy!

"...pretty brown eyes, little wet nose and floppy ears. Loved! ...no one's gonna harm you...not while I'm around."

James Zians

Cowboy, your Mama's heart is breaking. Today, is Saturday and you have been gone since Wednesday night. Your Daddy and I can't stand to be at this house because everything here reminds us of you. I cry taking a bath because you used to sit with me wanting water bowls or we would comb your hair and give you a part. I can't sit in my chair because I think about you sitting next to me with your chin propped up wanting to be petted. God, I would give anything in this world to be able to pet you right now, my Angel. I hurt because I want so badly to be able to pet your silky coat. I keep thinking that I hear you all over the house and yesterday morning I thought I saw you on the back porch. I want so badly for this feeling to go away. You brought your Daddy and me more pleasure than you could ever imagine. We loved nothing more than being right here at this house with you. I know that our grief will lighten and we will get to the point that we are not crying every day, but Cowboy, know that your Daddy and I will love you until the day that we die and we will never forget you. Today is Saturday and that ends in "Y", so I know that you are being a good boy wherever you are. Play sweet at the bridge, don't dig too many holes, and me and Dad will see you in our dreams. Love you Cowboy Plowboy. Call Mama at the drugstore if you need her...

Mama and Daddy

I loved our little stray kitty. She was sick and hurt and we nursed her to health, She added joy to our lives with individuality, a loud voice and her love of cuddling and the kitchen counter. We love you Cow-cow. And we will miss you forever. I am so sorry I didn't take you to the vet when you first started getting sick, but I thought you'd pull out of it. Please forgive me. I would never, ever do anything to hurt you intentionally. We will miss you so much. Have a kitchen counter in heaven and when the angels open the frig, meow and let them know you want a tidbit. Bye baby Cow.

Kathy Guinn

For 5 1/2 years I was blessed with my truest friend and most faithful companion. His unceasing unconditional love and bottomless reservoir of affection brought me through some of the darkest times of my life. He always gave so much more than he ever received.

Crazy was diagnosed with Feline Leukemia on the 15th of this month, and on the 16th, I had to make what has turned out to be the most difficult decision of my life, and let him die with the grace and dignity that he always displayed during his short life. He departed purring while I held his head in my hands telling him I would catch up with him soon, and to please wait for me.

Its ironic that now I am left with a hole that only he could fill. The only comfort is in knowing that I was able to at last return the love he has so freely given to me. I look forward to the day I will see him again.

Roy Ryan

The prettiest little sweetheart possible, daughter of Angora. I miss you!

Tom Ronell

A very wonderful Cat who was both loving and proud. He was a constant companion who sought being acknowledged and loved all the time He loved boiled ham and cooked chicken. He hated to be trimmed a and going to the vet.....

Eric, Katie, Paula and Andrea

You and your sister, Misty, were the first babies your Daddy and I adopted. You were such a beautiful kitty and you knew it! Your Daddy would tell me that you and Misty would stage dive off the headboard onto me while I slept, and you would use my back as a springboard (I never woke up once). As you got older, you developed a skin disease no one could diagnose. After two years of vet visits, the high dose steroid shots stopped working. I couldn't watch you suffer anymore as you scratched off all your beautiful fur and skin from you little face and body. After our house fire on 06/13/02, I knew it was time, all be it painful, to send you back home to Heaven. Your Daddy, who died on 12/29/01, will be waiting for you with your K-9 brother, Cuddles (12/21/99) and your kitty brother, Harley (06/13/02). I'm going to miss you, my little Princess Flea-uh. Daddy will be there to hold you until the day comes when I cross over to hold you, too.

Love, Mommy and your brothers (Tippy, Tommy, Snowy, Giovanni) and sisters (Misty, Bah-Bah, Mama, Gina Marie)

She was our baby girl, and we miss her very much.

Shirley and Al

You shall be in pain no more. I love you and miss you dearly. mom

Thank you Cricket for 16 years of absolute devotion & trust. You were never far from my side and I will miss you terribly.

Jackie Wiscombe

MY SWEET CRISSY

Angel clad in silky gray,
ever joyous through each day.
Eyes of piercing sapphire blue,
spirit brave and strong and true.
Legs so long you climbed up high,
sitting proudly near the sky.
Brushing softly by my hand,
you lavished love, a gift so grand.
With purr just like an angel's song,
you came from heaven but not for long.
You left me having touched my heart,
your place forever though we're apart.
Wings aflutter I think I hear,
it must be you staying near --
My Sweet Crissy.

Mary Arnold

Critter's flame warmed the hearts of every member of our family. He will always be remembered for the relentless hello's and the "please don't go" goodbye's.

It is with that same desperation that we say goodbye to him now.

Lou Lagno

Thank you and your brothers(Thistle-Brackenfoot and Runner for blessing our lives with your all to brief ones. Y'all are gone from this physical world but not where it counts in our hearts.

Jena L

I never liked cats until I met Crow. He truley was one of a kind. and will be greatly missed! Crow, you will always be in our hearts - Bless you for everything.

Robert

Crumpet was a very special girl. She was loving and loyal and we shared her life for 17 1/2 wonderful years. She will be sadly missed my our entire family. We have lost a very special member of the Hughes family.

Today my dog of 13 years was put to rest...I can only say that not only was she my beloved pet she was like a child I never could have. She was my everything and I will miss her so dearly. Her name was Cruiser and I pray that one day I will be able to see her again. I love that poem the Rainbow Bridge. She will be greatly missed.

Jodlyn

On January 7, 2002, I lost the love of my life. My beautiful 13 year old beige tabby cat, Crunchie was put down, due to nasal carcinoma. She was the most wonderful creature I have ever had. When I put her down, I whispered in her ear, "You wait for me at Rainbow Bridge and I promise that when the time is right, I will find you and we will never be apart again." I know she made it and she is patiently awaiting my arrival.

Cryssy is so loved, so missed, so cherished by all of us.

The Seagrens, Al, Jean Andra & Carl

To Crystal, you made my life full, I loved you dearly and you will always be in my heart. Rest well my girl.

Carla Davidson

Crystal we miss you so much all ready. We'll never forget you. We look to wear you always slept but now you are gone. I hope you are happy and not in anymore pain.

We'll forever Love you
the Barnes Family

Crystal was a devoted pet of 21 years and will be sorely missed. I know I will see her again when I cross over, but right now I am devastated. She was so beautiful.

Mary Parsons

Cub, you were the best friend, companion a person could have. I can't even begin to say how much I miss you still, some of the first pain is gone but the ache is still in my heart. Jemima, Toddler and I still try and do the same routine we had but they still look for you, and I still want to call you home. My beloved dog there will not be another, losing you hurt so much. I'm taking care of you buddies, and when they join you as some day they must, and when we meet again at the bridge you will know that such a big piece of my heart went with you, I couldn't replace the joy and love you gave me. Always with me in my heart till we meet again, Mommy Sally

Cubby,
We miss you a TON....See you again in heaven! We luv ya Cubs!
Brit

Cubby will live forever in my heart and mind. He was most unique little fellow - the only dog-like behavior he exhibited was an occasional bark and sniffing other dogs pee when we went for walks. Cubby went everywhere with me - he was a wonderful companion who never complained and stayed quiet and covert when necessary. Cubby was with me through many ups and downs in my life, but he never doubted me. I thought he would live forever and I never thought I would be responsible for his death. I was responsible. He never liked to walk on a leash and I never made him do so. The night he was killed by a car, he crossed an alley while I had my back turned to him for the time it took to pick up his poop. I turned around in time to see the wheels first front, then back wheels, run over him. He died instantly and I pray that he forgives me. I always promised him that nothing bad would ever happen to him but I let him down. I will try to get over my guilt, but I will never really forgive myself and I will ALWAYS miss and love him. I console myself with knowing that he never experienced a cross word, was never hit or kicked or anything horrid. He only knew love from everyone who ever knew him. He was a love dog of love. Thank you for the time we had together my tiny tine. Love, Mommy

To the best friend I will ever have. My heart longs to see you again. For now, until we meet again, you are in a happy place free of pain and suffering. I love you. Mommy

Cuddles Bennett Aug 1, 1988 - September 15, 2002

Cuddles, you were our angel on earth. And now that you have passed away, you will be our angel in heaven, looking over us and keeping us safe. You knew how to light up the room with your warmth and love.
We love you so much. You were a part of this family and always will be. I am so glad we could all be there for your passing to comfort you. You may have died in moms arms but you will never die in our hearts. A few hours ago I was enjoying your smile, but now you are with God. Take care of God like you have taken care of us. I can't wait to be able to hold you again. Each day is one day closer to being with you again. We Love You, The Bennett Family, Joe Sr., Cindy, Joe Jr. and Shannon.

To my beloved Cuddles. You came into our hearts in your first year of life. Running away from people that abused you. God showed you the path to our home and straight into our hearts and we made you a part of our family. You will always be a part of our lives. You will always be our little girl. You will never be forgotten and nothing will ever take your place. You find your brother Blue (beagle we lost 3 years ago) and you two run and play and mommy & daddy will see you soon. Love forever, Mommy & Daddy

Cuddles was my second dog, I got her one night and did not tell my parents, This lady came to the door and there was cuddles I was out that night ! When I came home my mother told me that I had a package upstairs on my bed. When I got to the door there was cuddles ! Small and cute ! She was my best friend and baby ! She got really sick and I took her to the vet's and that when it felt like my life had just ended! I have never put a dog down before. Her best friend Buster is lost. They did everything together ! Now everytime some one goes to the door, he thinks that she will be on the other side ! I don't know what to do or how to help him ! Cuddles we all love you and miss you so much ! Don't worry I still got your ball ! I love you baby and will never forget the good times we had together. Love always and forever Charleen and Buster

Sleep well baby

Cuddles was my baby. She used to love playing with Lucy, our dog. One day Cuddles came home and wasn't walking properly. I thought her leg was dislocated so I brought her to the vet. He thought that too but, just in case, he took some x-rays. He then confirmed that her hip was broken, so we had to have her put down. Now I wonder who or what did this to her but it makes me too sad. I love you Cuddles and will never stop missing your wonderful purr when I came home from school. Well I'll see you at the rainbow bridge, and I hope you'll be there waiting!

Rebecca, Peter, and Rachael

Cuddles was my puppy and helped me get over the loss of my first dog, Tigee. I moved away, got married and lived in a very small apartment. I could not provide a good home for the little angel that gave me so much. My mother in law wanted to take him. She had a yard and other dogs for him to be with. Although he was laid to rest a year or so later, I know he had happiness there. I will always wonder if he felt that I had abandoned him. I was never allowed to say goodbye. I love him, I miss his wet, smwlly kisses and I hope his spirit out there can hear my prayer of forgiveness. God Bless his Sweet Soul. Amen

Christine Whitley

My beloved Cujo passed away shortly after being diagnosed with bone cancer, we miss him so much he was so special to me.

Kathy Tisdell

Cujo,
I am so sorry we were not here to see you on your way to the Rainbow Bridge to see Bear, Heide, Misha and Lizbet. I trust you were met by them and are in good company now. I wish I knew for sure what took you away. You were always a loving and affectionate little man. We will miss you always. Enjoy your time at the bridge with all the other babies until we meet again.
Love and miss you always Cuj Puppy!

I still think of you and love you.

C.J. Young

Curley was 17 years old when he died and I miss him terribly. He was a trooper right up until the end when I could see he was tired of fighting. He had followed me from the East coast to the west and back again. My constant companion and friend - I still expect to see him laying in his favorite spot. I'll love you forever Curley.

Janet

To the cat that brightened up our lives with her love and spirit. It is so strange not having you here with us the apartment feels so empty, but your in ours memories and we will always love you.. Goodbye Supercat.

Mom and Dad

A beautiful boy who brought happiness and laughs to us all. Life will be sad without him.

Nina

It's still hard to walk down to the barn and not hear you nicker. But I know you are happy with no more aches and pains. We had a wonderful life and many remember you and speak of you and smile. You became a champion and added a special place in my heart one that cannot be replaced by another. God bless you. I know you're turning barrels in Heaven.

Laura Vernam

Cute Ki was an adorable little stray that someone dumped. He was frisky, playful, and full of life. He was very happy to be loved by myself and four of my neighbors, and he brought a lot of happiness to our section of the neighborhood for 4 days. He especially liked to play with long blades of grass being drug through the yard. He would also run just as fast as his little legs would carry him, ears back and tail poofed, and then hide behind something and PEEEEK out, waiting to ambush you. Some deranged fool down the street threw him against a tree and then shot him, in front of the neighbor's kids. We have made a police report, and he is being investigated. But it is too late for this little soul.

Please, if you have unwanted kittens or pups, take them to a local shelter instead of dumping them. Give them at least a fighting chance. Cars, other animals, poisonous substances, and heartless psychos are a constant danger to dumped pets.

You will be missed, little one. I love you. Rest in peace, baby Ki.

To Cutie Pie,

I just lost you this hour, I will miss your happy squeaking when I walk in the room. You always knew it was me. It is very difficult to know that you were in pain in the end. I'm sorry I could not do more for you. You will be missed by all of us. Dazee sends you special kisses. I wish this never happened to you. Go in peace my dear little friend until we meet again.

Love, Cody

In loving memory to our amazing, most wonderful, sweet dog in the world, Cutter. We love you dearly and will join you later. In the meantime, rest peacefully and know we love you always and look forward to seeing you when we are reunited.
Love forever,
Michael, Abbie, Josh, and Buddie

Abbie and Michael Higashi

Cutter we will miss seeing you running, bucking, kicking or just standing there looking so beautiful and proud! We will miss you greeting us at the fence each day reminding us just how beautiful God makes all of his creatures. We or our pastures will never be the same, ever. We are blessed to have had you in our lives even if it was just a short time and blessed that you had part in giving us two new additions to our family before you left us. Your memory and spirit will live on through them and in our hearts forever! We both know you are forever running, bucking and kicking in heaven and that you will be there to greet us, standing and still looking beautiful and proud as ever! Daddy and Momma miss you so much "Cutter Butter"! Rest in Peace.

I found Cy on my anniversary when she was a 10-week old rambunctious kitten, so I named her Cytherea (an epithet for Aphrodite.) Her older brother (a 9 month old cat) was so upset that I would bring home a kitten that he would lead her up to the roof and leave her. Her acrophobic Mommy (me) would have to climb up on the roof to get her down. She eventually outgrew Mommy's help, and became quite the acrobat. I look forward to meeting her again at the bridge.

Goodbye smudge face, you were our lady! Enjoy all the chicken you want with Col. Sanders. We love you.
Peewee Runt and Smokie will take good care of you!

Czar was a beautiful silver Persian male. He had the most beautiful green eyes. He was a warm gentle kitten. Always would let me hold, cuddle, and smother him with kitten kisses on top of his little furry head. Never was a biter. He never used his claws for destruction or anything. He was just the perfect kitten. Little did I know that when I took my baby in for surgery Monday that that morning would be the last time that I would be holding him. It is very heartbreaking to hear that your kitten has cancer, I had no other choice but to lay my baby to rest. I did not want him to suffer NO more. Czar was taken from me at an early age. He was 5 months and only weighing 2 pounds. Czar may be gone from me now but never forgotten. Someday we will be together again. I hope that my baby is happy up in heaven. Playing with the other kittens and all. He is at peace and will not have to suffer No more.
Czar I will always love you. No other kitten will never replace you.
Love from your mommy

To my baby Czeke, you'll always have a special place in my heart that will never be replaced. I will think of you every morning when I awake. And every night that passes, even though you are not there to lie beside me, your spirit will be. I love and miss you bunches. Rest in Peace sweetie.
