Year 2002 Tributes

Hajji thru Hutch

Hajji the unconditional love and happiness you gave us will be buried in our hearts forever and we know that someday we will see you again. Our loving creator will not exclude the beautiful creatures that share this world with us from the place that is heaven. Your illness took you so quickly from us -- in less than a month the severe anemia caused you to be too tired to eat, drink, or even go outside to your favorite backyard. Although the many x-rays and other tests did not indicate an obvious cancer, it was Dr. G's feeling that you probably had a hidden cancer somewhere in your body that was robbing you of your strength and love of life.
Hajji, there are so many beautiful memories from our 13 years together that we can call upon until we met again. Your thumping tail on the floor, the furniture, the door, the dryer in the laundry room made us laugh often. Your tail often was like a helicopter going so fast in circles. The car rides in the "Haj mobile" and watching you smile into the camera at the bank drive-up window to get that extra dog biscuit. There was our "tea and toast" time in the morning and the "chew time" after dinner. Waiting for Bob to climb the stairs at bedtime each night after hearing the spoon clink against the glass, and often taking a chew knot to the Chew Hall of Fame under the bed. Bob loved to tuck you in with the "Goodnight Song". You would always sigh and relax for the night after hearing him sing to you. Oh how you loved to chase the squirrels and chipmunks in the backyard in your younger days, not forgetting the time you broke the back screen door with your head as you tried to catch that old groundhog. Each morning you would help me fill the birdfeeders. The figure 8's you would run in your younger days in the yard and as your chin got gray- you would sit down in your backyard and watch me, sniffing the wind, grass, and the flowers. You loved to roll over and take sun-baths. It was your backyard. You loved mealtime - your special red dog bowl, and in the evening your biscuits at cocktail time. You lost weight with your "diet dog food and diet dog biscuits". Lisa said you should have been the poster child for the Eukanuba Reduced Calorie Food. Our walks around the neighborhood - everyone knowing you by name - the kids running up to pet your head and shake your paw. You were the gentle spirit of the Harrods Hill. Oh how you loved to mark "your" trees and posts. Your knowing reaction to Heather's "Do you ----?" and "Uh-uh-uh a chew.." were so funny especially when you looked at someone out of the corner of you eye and not turning your head. Hajji you are our "GOOD BOY" forever, the biggest puppy that ever lived. You had velvet ears -- the softest ever held in our hands. Most of all - your smile is one that we will never forget. You graciously accepted Schnook into our family in your later years -- and liked to play with her until by day's end you were too tired to rough-house anymore. Hip dysplagia eventually stopped you from being able to run, but you still barked at Schnook as she race by you in the back yard appearing to cheer her on -- you taught her how to guard the court from our front windows (she is doing a good job by herself now)not forgetting to bark at the paper boy, postman, or UPS man when they came to the door. You loved it when people came to visit -- acting as if they had come solely to see you. Hajji you loved the times we spent at Crystal Lake - especially sitting on the porch watching the world go by. You were Bob's computer dog, Fran's daily home companion, Heather and Jon's first dog, and Cuddles, Comet, Tiger, and Schnook's best friend. Hajji we miss you, but know that you were ready to be sheltered in the arms of the angels. Your passing over was so, so peaceful. Until we meet again at heaven's gate, we will always love you, cherish your memory in our hearts, and know that our loving God is taking care of you. You are with us in spirit. Love, hugs, and kisses --Fran, Bob, Heather, Jon, Comet, Cuddles, and Schnook

Hala, I loved you so much. I will always remember you. My heart is broken that you are gone and I won't see you again. I miss you so much, we all do. My sweet, funny, loyal, kind, lovable, wonderful and amazing friend. Your life was not nearly long enough, I wish I could have had you with me forever.

Halen you were the coolest cat anyone could ever ask for. No other will ever compare to you and you will be sadly missed by me. I hope you are getting all the "canned" food you can handle there in kitty heaven.

Jaime

Goodbye my good boy! We love and miss you!

Debbie

She was the highlight of my day & made my life heaven on earth!!

Kayortega

Haley was 6 weeks old when I got her and 12 years old when she past away.. She gave me unconditional, unrestrained love. For the past year and a half, she became best buddies with my father in law, Roger, and they became inseparable. She was more like a best friend in human regards than a family dog. She will be missed.
-See you at the Rainbow Bridge-

Katheryn Pape

Haley, Female Chihuahua looks like the Taco Bell dog. Born, 01-15-95 passed away on 10-22-01. Even though it's been 6 months now Imp still sick over Haley's passing. If only I could shut out the awful memories of the last 2 months of her life. I wish I could remember all the happy years with her, instead all I can think about is the pain and suffering she went through before she died. I wish to God that any of the drs. could have found out that she had sever Encephalitis and could have helped her to live. When she passed she took away a big part of my heart and I'll never be the same without her. I really need to talk to others who understand the loss Imp going through. Some say I should be getting over it by now as 6 months is long enough. I just can't, the pain is to fresh in my mind.

Sincerely, Cara

We'll all cross that bridge one day buddy. Keep spinning that wheel.

David and Kris

For Hamlet, my beloved baby... may your memory be cherished always. You were sweet, loving, and cheerful. I won't ever forget your kisses and the way you rested on my heart when you were a baby. You could never be replaced. May you find peace in the next world. I love you always, mommy

Hammer days are hard to get through without me shedding a tear for you you brought me so much happiness you touch the heart of so many people and brought a smile to my face everyday no matter how bad the was I feel like my heart has been ripped out but I find a smile when I think of you thank you for all the love and happiness you gave me. I'll see you on the bridge love mommy Linda

Always in our hearts. You'll be missed always.

Ken & Thom Taylor

I adopted Hanalei when she was 3 years old and knew right away she was very special. She came to live with my then-husband, our male golden retriever, Gino who was also 3, and me. We all spent alot of time playing and traveling together. After my divorce 5 years ago, Gino and Hanalei came to live with me. I wouldn't have it any other way. Gino died 3 years ago and Hanalei and I both grieved. The last 3 years of her 14 year life, it was just us girls. I loved her so much.

Debbie Heard

Dearest Hank, You were my buddy and friend. You went everywhere with me, camping, boating, you loved the water, When I would get into the water, you would run and jump into the water from the boat and swim. You stayed in the water only if I was in the water, If I got out of the water so would you. You would climb the ladder on the side of the boat to get in. I finally bought you a dog life jacket so you could stay in the water longer and not get so tired. I will always remember you Hank, you helped me though very difficult, lonely times in my life, but you were by my side, always, doing something comical to get me to laugh or sometimes you would want to go outside and play ball so you could fetch it and bring it back to me. You would get so excited, you would be trembling all over, you would never tire of fetching ball and retrieving it. If I were sad, you would lie down close to me as you could and prop you head in my lap. A true friend senses one's mood and tries to comfort them and that is what Hank did. He was more than a pet dog to me he was my best friend. You were old and crippled and blind when you died. Now I visualize you playing in the field near the Rainbow Bridge, jumping, catching, playing with Scooter and Sebastion. I can't wait to see you at the bridge. One day it will come, we will be together again. I love you Hank, I miss you Hank. Love. Laura

Hank showed up on our doorstep one day and turned out to be the sweetest little guy. All of our other cats loved him. He will remain in our thoughts always. We love you "Booba."

Bruce and Mary Sendra

A hope and prayer that Hank found his way to Rainbow Bridge easily and that he knows only joy and freedom from suffering, and knows that I look forward to the day we meet again over the rainbow.

Felicia

Hanna was my first baby (horse). I held her in my arms the moment she was born, and I held her in my arms when she died. She made me and my family so happy. I have never seen another horse like her, and she can never be replaced.

Hanna, I don't know what happened or why you died - we called the vet but he didn't make it in time - and I will never forgive myself for not being able to help you, and not being there while you were suffering alone. Thank you for holding on until I got there, baby - I know you hung on just so you could say goodbye. I will always love you. Don't ever forget that. I look forward to the day I will get to see you again. I pray to God every night to take care of you, and to always have a peppermint in his pocket. Please visit me in my dreams, baby girl. I miss you more than you know.

Amy Mays

Goodnight, Hanna. God bless, I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight, God bless, I'll see you tomorrow.

Melanie Hannam

Hannah my Sweet Little Baby,
I know you went to the Rainbow Bridge while in your sleep. I know that your little twin brother Noah was by your side. I am so sorry that you got sick. It was Feline Panleukopenia. We had your vaccinations scheduled the day after you got sick. Mommy is so sorry that you suffered. Your little Brother survived, but he didn't have the high fever that you did. I miss you so much. Daddy misses you. Daddy dug your grave early that morning and we both cried when we shoveled dirt over your little box. Your brother misses you. I see you when I see him. You were twins, after all. I see mean old "Ugly Stray Cat" strutting around the neighborhood, and I wonder why God takes the sweet little ones while the bullies stay?

Honey, you play, eat, jump, purr, sleep, get lots of sunshine, make lots of friends, and Mommy, Daddy and Noah will see you one day and we will all be a family again.
I know you still have your little pink collar on. When you can, look in on us from time to time.

Hugs and Kisses,
I Love You,
Mommy

In July, was a loss of a dog known as Hannah. Hannah was a German short haired pointer that many in our town knew and loved. She always waited at the grocery store and numerous retail stores (waited for her master-dedicated, and oh so disciplined), and it seemed just about everyone in the town knew her. Even if you were not that much of a dog lover, you still stopped and petted Hannah.

Hannah 2002-gone, but not forgotten. Owner: Bob

From all of us in Nokomis-So sorry for your loss-we will miss Hannah so much!
Signed, Nokomis Florida Residents

Sleep well my darling and I hope that you are chasing lots of rabbits.
We will never forget you and the happiness that you brought us.

Ginny, Paul and Harriet

Hannah fought lung cancer for a 1.5 years. They did not give us much expectation after her surgery that she would live very long. She was so strong and full of love and joy. She gave us so much and we love her.

Dylan Russell & Martin Pike

Our precious little redhead...what a 'happy dog' you always were. Had you been human, you would have been a living example of what god intends us to be...loving, forgiving, loyal, honest, patient, and full of joy and friendship. You never judged. You never held a grudge. You were never bitter. All you knew was love.. I miss your tricks, sitting pretty and rolling over; spelling cookie could not fool you! So many times I buried my face in your soft fur and cried...you just listened and loved. I couldn't stand to see you suffer any longer. I pray you felt my love for you as I stroked your face and let you go. You looked so peaceful; I hope you are waiting and watching for us to come for you at the Rainbow Bridge. We all miss you.
Sherry, Audrey, Amanda, Tara, Cassandra and Kaleb.

Hannah was a very special, loving dog. She quit eating, took her to the vets and she was diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. She was gone in two days. This is a cruel disease that comes without warning. I have learned alot about it in this past week. Hannah Girl, we love and miss you so much. We buried you here at home with your blanket and Christmas toy. I'll never understand how or why you left us so suddenly but you were very sweet and gentle and all of us here will remember you with love. Mom Sandy, Dad Dennis, Nick, Spike, Daphne, Kitty, the birds, sugar glider, and lizard.

Hannah Rose, my beautiful orange and white Brittany. Mama misses you so much she can't hardly stand it. Dad and I deeply love you and feel so privileged to have had you a part of our lives for 14 years. Your collar is on my night stand and I smell it and talk to you every night before I go to sleep. Abby misses you. You are remembered with such love by your family. You were a wonderful little girl and always Mama's "Hannie Boo-Boo" I thought I heard you bark the day after you left us, and I think you were telling me that you got there and found Casey. Hannah, watch for Dad and me as we will come to you some day and live with you for all eternity. Love and hugs in bushels you beautiful curly haired baby girl. Love abundantly, Dad and Mom

Hannah was my friend, confident and protector. We laughed together and we were there for the rough spots in our lives - her epilepsy and my job problems.
She had so many nicknames for her different personalities, like Stinkerbell, Baby girl, poop face for her bad habit.
We would play "I'm gonna get you!" She would run away them stop so I could catch up with her then hug her and tell her I would love her forever and always.

Thank you for giving me almost 11 wonderful years. Not only did you teach me about rabbits you also showed me how to love unconditionally. I will miss you kissing my head when I had a bad day and just knowing you were safe and happy at home. Tuesday misses and loves you. I know we will meet again someday until then remember I love you and keep watch over us! With all My love-Daddy

Hans was me and my husband, Gib's, first baby. I bought Hans for my husband when we were just dating, almost 13 years ago for a birthday present. I remember when we went to look at the litter of 15 (!) German Shepherd puppies, Hans (he was the runt), came right up to us shyly, but settled right into our lap. We knew he was ours then.

Over the years, he has given us so much joy and love. In addition to being so beautiful (strangers would always come up and tell us what a beautiful dog he was), he was so incredibly intelligent and had the kindest disposition. He wouldn't hurt a flea, but he sure looked like he could! He was so very protective of our daughters when they arrived, he would never let anyone near them. I remember the time we went to the beach and a butterfly landed on his nose and stayed there for a whole minute, he stood still as if to say he wanted the butterfly to be there for a little while.

We had to put him to sleep today because he was too ill and in too much pain. It was the hardest thing we ever had to do, you don't know how much you'll miss them when they're gone, so treasure them while they're here, I'm glad we did. He was 'King of the Manor' - slept in our bed, was always at our feet wherever we were and was the best companion and friend we could ever ask for.

We love you so much Hans, and will miss you until we can finally be re-united.

Your loving family,

Gib, Kris, Alexis and Nichole

Always faithful, and loving. A gift from God, that arrived when I needed you most. You will always be loved and I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

Christopher Smith

She was killed by someone putting antifreeze onto bread and throwing it into the yard. She was loved by the neighbors so it is suspected that a sadistic teenager may have been responsible although he would have been unprovoked and had no reason to do such a thing. Haoli was my faithful friend and companion. I especially miss her puppy kisses. I mourn her everyday. She was special in so many ways and gave me so much more than I could have ever given her.

Joy Pacha

I just have to say that I will love you for as long as I live Happer so do not stop loving me k

Jamie Duke

We miss you.

Monica & Bill Irwin

Thanks for 10 years of the sweet memories boy.
It was the hardest decision to let you go. But we couldn't bear to see you suffer further. We know you couldn't bear to leave us, so do we.
We miss you a lot.

Yin

To my Amazing Hap

Thankyou for changing my life and allowing me to share yours. I wish you a safe journey to the bridge, and I dream about the day we will be reunited again forever.

You were too young to leave us, and my heart is empty without you. We miss you so much, and treasure every memory.

I love you my Happy boy.

Love always your Mum, Dad, and grieving family

Harley, you came into my life a little, rain soaked barn kitten. For 6 years you brightened my days with your never ending antics, and comforted me with your loving purrs and kitty kisses when I was feeling down.
Know I did everything I knew how for you when your sudden illness took you away. I love and miss you my little, pastel calico kitty!
Until we meet again, precious girl...
Love,
Mom

Harley-har-har ... you were such a special kitty in more ways than one. The way you'd stare out the window for hours even though the blinds were closed. The way you'd run up stairs and hit your head half way to the top. Your Daddy always wanted to fit you with a little crash helmet and glasses so you'd stop running into things like the sofa. I remember getting you from the halfway home in Fishtown where you were found in an abandoned warehouse by some kids. You looked at me with your flat ears, crossed eyes, and "Jimmy Durante" marked nose and I knew you were the kitty for me. I'm so, so sorry I wasn't there to rescue you from the house fire and I was worried for days when I couldn't find you. Now that you have been found, though I'm sad, I'm not worried anymore. Your Daddy, who crossed over 12/29/01, was always worried about you. I know in my heart he's there with you now at the Bridge playing with you, your sister Creamsicle (06/15/02), and your K-9 brother Cuddles (12/21/99). Mommy will always miss you and I know when I cross over, it'll be one big happy family reunion.

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

May you be free from your pain and may God Bless you.

Cathy Riccio

Harley,
You are irreplaceable. I am so fortunate to have had you in my life for so long and I will never forget your gentle nature. You are my best friend and I look forward to seeing you again.
Love your mom.

Harley was the most beautiful giant black labrador anyone had ever seen, and I was so proud to be his mom. Harley was my furchild. He had such a grand presence in my life, our home, everything...I miss him, his smile, how he enjoyed tooling around in the Jeep with his huge head hanging out the window. His love for plain donuts and zest for walks, running, swimming in the ocean, playing rough with my husband, sitting practically on my lap, his fascination with flying objects like planes and helicopters. In his quiet moments, he had this noble quality of surveying his "land," with his front paws crossed. I know this dog loved me. My mother had told me that she had never seen a dog show such devotion, love and commitment as she saw Harley show me. And, I truly loved this dog. We were together up until he took his last breath.

Tara Jakubaitis

My sweet kitty, I miss you so much. When I took you to the vet that day, I had no idea I would have to put you to sleep. Although you lived a long 14 years, it was not nearly long enough, I am hurting without you. I'll never forget how you would roll in the catnip plant in the garden and how you would lay under the porch in the sun or when you would follow me around outside and then run really fast and scare me. Know that we tried all we could that day to save you, but sadly, your time had come. You are no longer suffering .... I love you sweetie. Kim

Harley was with me only such a short time but he was my best friend and constant companion. We just had a bond that I thought we would enjoy forever. He knew when it was time just to lay on the couch, and I knew when he was itching to play frisbee. I am so sorry Harley, if I only knew what the events of the night would of hold, I would never have let you run free. I hope that you only remember my love and the joy you were having chasing the birds around. You were always such a runner . . . Love Mommy

Oh, my Harley Babydog, Puppy-Guy. Mom misses you more than she ever imagined possible. You gave so much, even when your poor body was breaking down; you loved us as much as we loved you and you brought more joy and compassion than most humans. Someday that bridge will reunite us...'till then, take care, Moopah.

With love, Your Mom and Dad

These are some of the extra special things that made you irreplaceable as a special friend and a member of our "pack."
The way you greeted us in the morning and when returning home from work; kisses and hugs; your sensitivity to every mood or emotion and your attempt to smooth over the rough times; "TUMMY RUBS;" "Go" wherever and whenever, just say the word and you were there; "wiki-wiki," our little code word for "walk," and again, you were always there as if to say, "I'm ready;" "SQUIRREL" or "BUNNY" (and how you loved to torment those poor creatures who dared to come into YOUR domain!); "PLAY FOOTBALL," and you always found it in the yard, and you learned to catch it so well; then, last but certainly not least, your unconditional love. You knew that we loved you too!!! Save a place in heaven for us if you can, because we look forward to play time and many more long walks with you.

Gary and Cindy

To the GREATEST Pet and Friend in the world. We Love You

Michelle

Harley was my very best friend in the world. Our secrets will be shared with no one and our bond will live on forever. You will be missed by all, but you will remain in our hearts for eternity. Thank you for always drying my tears Harley, I love you.

Lynsi Carson

We miss you very much. When we walk over to see you at the house and your not there to met us at the door it makes our hearts sad. We will always love you, and we hope where ever you are someone up there is giving you and Berea a cookie from us.... love Sister, Erniee, and the kids {Joel and Travis.

Harley, you will be missed! Thank you for all the smiles and happiness you brought into my life & your brothers' & sisters' lives too. Godspeed Harley-Reno!

Rene

Harley or beloved little man we love and miss you so deeply. You were always there for us when we needed you, and always gave your all to help when we were down. Caring and loving, you were very very special to the both of us. The wagging of that little tail, and the smile that seemed to always be on your face. You will always be with us in our hearts and soul. Mudder and John

You were the best. I am so sorry I was not there when you passed on. I miss you dearly.

Liz

Harley D., you were the best friend anyone could ever wish for. You were true, loyal, compassionate, and could always make me laugh. Your beautiful face will be forever missed, but precious memories of you will live forever in our hearts. We look forward to the day we are reunited with you at the Bridge. Until then, watch over us, guide us, and protect us. We love you Char-Char!

With much love, Vicki, Marty, Drake, Ace, and Steve

You will be so missed in our life...

Kevin, Tammy, Terran & Jesse Davis

God Bless You, Harmony. You were always the most considerate kitty, even at the very end. Although my heart broke seeing you lying lifeless on the floor, you spared us from having to put you to sleep. What a sweetheart! I miss your unconditional love so very much. I long for your warm presence in my lap. I just pray that you know how very much you are loved. 17 years is a long time, but you'll be alive in my heart forever. I'll love you always.

Aurora & Blaine D'Amico

Harold was too young to leave us. We miss him so much and it hasn't been an hour. Harold was the unconditional love everyone wants. He gave that to us. I hope he finds my Dad and they both watch over us. We love you Harold.

Robyn & Melissa.

This is a special person companion dog who was a family member for a 82 year old lady who will have a great difficulty replacing him.

Mary

Harpo was the sweetest dog ever. Rub her belly and she was your friend for life. When she was happy, especially when I would throw her duckie for her, she would hop up and down on her front paws and her funny ears would perk forward. We adopted her from the shelter and found she was sick right from the beginning. We almost lost her twice, but she was a trooper and kept on going until old age caught up. She had the funniest eyes and personality which is why she was named Harpo, after Harpo Marx. I miss her.

Robin Cox

Harrie, If my love could save you, you would be here with me today. I know I made choices in my life that made life harder for us both. You were there for me, and I thank you. You were the greatest cat in the world. I love you forever and ever. I can't wait to go to Heaven, and see you again. Please show me all your special spots. I love you, Harrie, my friend. I turn, and I still think I see you waiting for me.

Alan J. Salapa

Harriet,
Although we were together for such a short time, I loved you very, very much and am so lucky that I got to meet you. I am so glad that you came home with me to cross to the Rainbow Bridge. At least you were loved during your last days here on Earth. I hope you are eating lots of sunflower seeds!
Love, Carron =&_&=

No sweeter girl was ever born

Jeri M Smith

My Angel Harry:

Mummy misses you so much, but knows that you are in a better place. I am so glad that I was able to hold you in my arms, give you kisses and tell you that I loved you before you were taken away. You were very special and God needed you earlier than I expected. I will never forget your soft and gentle nature and will always remember what a strong and handsome boy you were. Enjoy being with the family there with you as we will all be together again some time in the future. I love you.
Mum

Harry I love you with all of my heart baby and I am missing you terribly. Life will never be the same without my beautiful wee Harry boy. I so wish I could have been able to love you, here with me, a lot longer than your six years. I will be with you again some day and we will have so much cuddles and loves to make up for. Until then, I hope you are happy were you are and that you know what you mean to me.

Diana

To my Harry Bear, You were the best 'top' cat. I will miss you, your cutie kitty antics, your yodeling, and your funny face more than words can express. You will always be in my heart. All the guys and girls will miss you, too! Love to you, Jerrie

Harry was an incredible spirit who died young battling a fatal cancer. Everyone he touched loved him, and he will be sorely missed by all.

Paul Crowley & Delia Pooler

What a remarkable little guy and a great companion. He holds a very special place in our hearts and will be missed.

We love you Harry! You had a wonderful spirit that will be with me for all of my days.

Love,

Kathy Whelchel

Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant!

Lisa and Art

To my beloved Harvey, thank you for all those years of nothing but love, devotion and loyalty. Thank you for waiting for me and letting me hold you one more time before leaving this world. I love you, I have always loved you even if at times we weren't together. I'll miss you, but take comfort in knowing we will be together again someday. I know you and Pete will watch over me, and I know you're happy where you are now. I will love you for the rest of my life, and beyond. You made my life so blessed, I was so lucky to have you. Please wait for me, in the meantime, rest well, my baby.

Stephanie Yan

My dear Hawkey, who was loved so much! I will miss you terribly! Run free! Play hard! Bark loud! I will see you again when it is time for our reuniting! Until then my Hawkey-dog, I love you so much! Hugs and kisses!!!

Janet J Litchke

Dearest Hawkeye, my beautiful, orange-and-white, long-haired cat:

I'd like to send you my office chair that you insisted was yours, and the stinky shoes you loved to bury your face in (for some unknown reason), but FedEx doesn't deliver to Cat Nirvana.

Thank you for letting me get to know you for the final 3 of your 14-1/2 years. I cherish the memories of you letting me kiss you and be your "mom", and I even don't resent the metric tons of orange fur you've shed all over my clothing.

You died 11:27pm, Friday, April 19, 2002 from complications due to hyperthyroidism.

You died fighting -- you howled and gasped and kicked your way into Heaven.

You were a strong, feisty warrior cat in life and in death.

Joe and I are devastated. It will take us time to deal with losing you, because were our "son"; we have no other children.

I'll never, ever forget you.

Love, cynth

Not a single day passes that I don't think of you!! You are truly loved and missed!!!!

Jana

The best dog with the prettiest feet ever. He will be missed greatly!

Jules

Hazel, Thank you for adopting me. All you wanted was a home and love, and all I wanted was love. We both got we wanted. Thank you for the presents you brought me, tho I loved you unconditionally and you didn't to bring them, but I thank you. Thank you for all the evenings on my lap. I will not find another like you. I will always love you and you will be my only Hazel/Basil. Rest in peace, I love you.
Midget does too.

Alayna

Christie Hitchings

This small kitten came in my life by stowing away on a Truck from LA (to Delta, BC)and was in the unloading. The people at my work and myself did all we could for the little guy. He only stayed for a few days before the damage to his poor leg took his life. Even in the short time we had him, he was well loved both by myself and the vet staff that tried to save his life. He was put to sleep when it was realized that the he would not survive the operation needed to save his life. He dead before he was in too much pain. I hope he dead happy and knowing he was well loved. He will be missed.

Frances Toebaert

Hector was a wonderful cat. He had an attitude as most cats do, but he loved me. He always trusted me. He'd run to me when he was scared or sick. He was diagnosed as having liver failure after a very short illness. Rather than subject him to numerous tests that would only cause him more pain, I had him put to sleep so he could go to the Rainbow bridge and wait for me there. I loved him dearly and grieve deeply. God was gracious to me and answered my prayer, I got the opportunity to say good by and tell Hector about the Rainbow Bridge. I said "bye Hector, see you later..."

Hedy Bear. I love and miss you very much. I am comforted to know that I will see you again someday. People commented on our unusual bond. You were my special little girl and I will grieve for the rest of my life.

Sarah Dunn

Bless Heidi who spent almost 20 years on this earth. She brought love and laughter to our live and will be deeply missed.

Brian & Brenda Prinzavalli

Our precious little Heidi, we miss you so much. You were the light of our lives. You gave us 17 years of joy and unconditional love, and Mommy and Daddy will never forget you. We will miss your sweet "Heidi kisses", and those big beautiful eyes that were filled with love. We had a lot of close calls over the years, and we almost lost you several times to illness. But you always came back to us. I'm so sorry we couldn't make you better this time baby. We tried our best, but your sweet little body just gave out. You will be in our hearts forever, sweet baby. We know the angels will keep you safe until we are re-united once again at the Bridge.

Mommy and Daddy love you.

A tribute to my best friend and little sweetheart Heidi, who passed away Sept 06, 2002. She was my best friend and a real sweetie. She was 13 years old. Was always there for me. She was 13 years old. I had gave her heart medicine and lasix for 11/2 years. Her kidneys failed and she was gone within 24 hours. I knew it would happen sometime but was not ready for it. She was so special. We could understand each other. A true friend. I loved her so much and miss her as much. Esther

Heidi was a true companion, a fighter and a beautiful German Shepard. She was diagnosed with cancer and lost her front leg 5 years ago. There were other ailments she dealt with but always had a pleasant temperament. She always wanted to play and was great with all. We miss her so much already but know that she is not suffering now and is in a better place. We had to make the decision to end her life here with us which was a very hard one to make. But in her best interest we made it. Every time we walk into the house, there is such a void. She was always waiting to greet us with the love in her eyes and a kiss. Heidi, we love you and miss you. You are in our hearts always. Someday we will be together again.

Dee Gillilan

My Sweet gentle Heidi, I miss you so much my heart aches. You left us too soon, and too suddenly. You brought seven years of joy to our lives... you were my first "baby". I hope you and buddy are happy and together once more and forever. My life will never be the same without you. We love you very much.

Mariela Ray

For a special little girl who died before her time. You are loved then, now and forever.

Christine Kahuy

Heidi was in my life for 19 years.
She was and always will be the love of my life.

Debra Lumadue

I was blessed to have Heidi as a friend and companion. We slept together since she was a kitten, because she didn't want to be alone then and we grew to prefer the arrangement.
I miss her very much and will always treasure the nine years we had together. She suffered at the end, but only briefly, before God called her home to be a companion for my mother, in heaven.

John M. Gibbs

Heidi came to us as a very special little girl. Her previous owners had mistreated her for years and she was very nervous and afraid at first. She blossomed into her true loving but bossy self with lots of TLC. She was our special girl and we all miss her very much. She didn't say much but communicated with her beautiful emerald eyes. She loved us faithfully but was finally lost to diabetes. Love you always sweetheart.

Cheryl & Ralph

In memory of our bone lovin' schnauzer, "Heidi." We will always love you and miss you with all our hearts. Take care of Nana.

Mom and Dad

I'm so sorry Heika, I love you.

On Heisenberg's last night on the planet, I cast a little circle and sort of crawled under the bed with him and read The Little Prince to him and Schroedinger (who curled up on the bed). The little prince lived on asteroid B-612, where he fell in love with a coquettish rose. His love made him so sad, he few away (on a migration of birds) and eventually landed in the Sahara desert, where he met a fox. The fox asked the little prince to tame him, that is, to spend time with him and "establish ties." After the little prince traveled more about the earth and saw a garden of roses, he came back to the fox, who told him that "it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye, " and "it is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."

The little prince wanders on the earth for a year and meets the author, whose airplane has crashed. At the end of his year on earth, the little prince fulfills a bargain with a snake. Saint-Exupery writes, "There was nothing but a flash of yellow close to his ankle. He remained motionless for an instant. He did not cry out." The book concludes, "...if a little man appears who laughs, who has golden hair and who refuses to answer questions, you will know who he is. If this should happen, please comfort me. Send me word that he has come back."

My friend Darcelle went with me and Heisenberg to Long Beach Animal Hospital. Heisenberg died in sacred space, flooded by love and tears (ours, not his). Every day of his life with me, he was loved and petted, and he was admired by everyone he ever met. Several hours later, as I was "resting my eyes," I saw him get up, shake himself out, fluff himself up, go to a litter box and do an enormous poop [he had a cancerous mass that had massive invaded his intestines and would have starved to death or exploded if I had not euthanized him], and then trot over to where he was met by a great number of other cats. One them is a fluffy female who is pale, pale blonde, another is a very large, gray tabby.

And so, my friends, if you look up sometime and see a fluffy cat with a tail like Cyrano's white plume and green eyes and a grin on his face, you'll know that he is Up To Something. That's my Heisenberg!

Because of other people's actions, I had lost two Dobies several years apart. After the last one, I thought I would never be able to handle another close relation with a dog. Then one day, my husband, a police officer, brought me a little 7 week old red dobie - a refugee from a puppy mill. I told him no, I don't want it. But then, when I saw how sick she was, I told myself, I will make it healthy and then find it a good home. When it was healthy, I thought I had a place but it wasn't good enough. Then my dad told me that I should just take it to the vet and have him place it in a home. My unexpected response was: I can't do that! No one will take care of her like I will! And with those words, Helga was home.

She was literally my constant companion for 11 years. I never knew my heart could break like it has. I have not been able to go a day without thinking about her, missing her warmth when my body hurts so bad and the medication isn't working. Someone sent me the rainbow bridge. And when I read it, I knew that she was there, waiting on the other side. I am waiting for her, too. I know it will be some time as I am a fighter by nature. But, when the time comes, when it has become unbearable to be here and this tired body of mine gives out, I will cross that bridge and do what I haven't been able to do with her: Run.....and jump...and chase her down to tweak that nub of a tail. and never let her go again.

It's been a hard year without you - I miss you, sugarbutt.

Patti

Helios, I miss you so much. You were the best little friend I ever had. You enriched my life in so many ways. Thank you so much for being in my life, I love you. I will always remember you and you will never be replaced. Helios you will always have a special place in my heart, my sweet little rat.

-Cassey

Henley we love and miss you so much. You took such good care of us. You were a beautiful part of our lives and we will never forget you. We look forward to the day we can be back together, in Heaven. We were blessed to be able to share four wonderful years together. We wish it could have been longer. You are the best dog ever.

Charlie has been an influential part of our breeding program and has added his sweet and loving disposition to every breeding he has sired or was part of the pedigree in breedings. He never wanted to be involved in the show ring and preferred to be with his friends here at Hennings Mill. We feel happy that he will be joining several of his ole' buddies at Rainbow Bridge that he had bonded with over the years. Charlie was the last of the living Bradking Beverly kids on both continents and will be joining Beverly also. One of his adult daughters joined us recently to help carry on for him and now his memory. Another Hennings Mill adult just came back to live with us and was bred to Charlie last month and, hopefully, will give us more pups from him that will be such an asset to our lines, carrying on his attributes and keep Charlie in our memories always. Sleep well, dear Prince. Lovingly, Jack, Dot and Charlie's Hennings Mill fur family.

I loved Henry and he was the 3rd dog I lost in one year. Nakita was 14 years old and Scarlett was 13 years old so their deaths were expected.
But Henry went far too early at only 4 years old.
He broke his spine by trying to jump up too high.
I cried and cried.
No more dogs I said.
But guess what I now have Maggie- May nearly 2 years old
Henry I will always love you. My wonderful boy dog.
Love from mummy Pamela

A small cat with the heart of a Lion...Janet's private Body Guard...We love and miss you...see u soon as we cross that bridge into Summerland

Janet and Quinner

Hera, it's been 2 days since we laid you to rest and we miss you so much. We hope that you're now at peace. It was so hard for us to watch you as you gently told us in your own way that it was your time. We hope you know that we did all we could for you.. You were the first pet I ever had and you taught me so many things, especially strong compassion for all living things. We'll always love you. Be at peace and we will meet again, my little hippidy-head.

Mom & Dad (and your feline siblings Cosmo and Jasmine)

Even though we lost Hermes 2 months ago we still have moments when we just start to cry without explanation. We got a kitten so that Hermes' brother would not feel lonely but we still feel as if something is missing and we know his brother, Plato, realizes that he is gone. The new kitten, Phoenix, is healthy and strong and we are all hoping he will help us get past this. Hermes past young and strong and it was sudden. I guess we can be grateful for that. I have never lost one of my cats in this way. Kira and Tut passed old and even though Kira was taken by Kidney failure she was 13 not 2. All of my childhood cats went away or old age took them. This one hurt. Hermes was poisoned by previous tenant's use of rat poison. I made a tribute page when it happened. It made me feel a little better. I still wish I could have done more. You can still visit the page. It's at: http://members.shaw.ca/hermeshunger/passing/Hermes.html I plan on keeping it up for a very long time. Thanks for listening.

Thanks, Christina

A crazy little grey tiger-cat we rescued as a kitten, and in return rescued us from strings, plastic bags, uneaten food, little rings from milk bottles, loneliness and boredom for his entire life. Loved and missed more than we can say.
We miss you, Hurmers, our cat-boy.

Rodney, Gigi, and Jake

Hershey was a gentle soul who will always be remembered and missed.

John A. Yost

Growly Bear, Hershen, Hershey, our sweet little chocolate girl. You were a part of our lives for ten and a half very special years. We will never forget your inquisitive looks when you were smelling a new thing, the way your ears perked when "treats" were mentioned, your wagging tail and funny little poochy belly, your special relationship with Mom, chasing waverunners along the canal, the way you and Oscar licked each others faces when we went back to the breeder for him a week after bringing you home, the way you and Oscar looked like two 'sphinxes' lying down in the front yard, your favorite spot to lie down on the carpet in the back hallway, sneaking up to sleep in front of Mom and Dad's room at night, the way you barked at the backdoor until you knew we'd hear you and invite you both in, or your cute little fawn butt trotting down the driveway. We will take extra special care of your brother Oscar for you, as we know he is sad and misses you very much too. We were lucky to have found you, loved you and been loved in return. We miss you so much.
-Your family, Mom and Dad, and human sibs Meredith and Graham and canine sib Oscar

My "hurdy" sweet baby kitty. Thank-you for giving so much love You are missed so VERY much ! I just wish I could give you hugs & kisses one more time and here you say "maw maw" like you always did when I would walk in the room. Sweet little boy you left paw prints on my heart forever! Hershey had heart disease, his illness hit him quick and within 3days Hershey crossed over to rainbow bridge as I held him. IT BROKE my heart but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. He was my baby kitty..miss you LOVE you FOREVER..

Amy Mitchell

Hershey was a beautiful, brave and heroic boy who took on a lot of negative energies around him and sacrificed himself in order to protect those he loved. He completed his work here on the earth plane with dignity, persistence and selflessness, and I honor his precious and powerful spirit.

Barbara De Angelis

To the Love of my Life. I will miss you waiting at the door when I get home for our nightly tug-a-war. I will miss you waiting at the edge of the kitchen for your Good Boy treat. I will miss our camp outs, our walks, your Hershey's hugs and kisses. I miss you sleeping next to me and having to have at least some part of your body touching mine. You were the best friend I ever had. You got me thru a divorce and several surgeries. You were a pillar in my life. You were my friend and my son. I loved you with all my heart and soul. We had a relationship that no could understand. I love you my baby boy.

Lisa Dodd

I was deeply touched when faced with the unimaginable loss when she died. Life has taught me a lesson about humility and the endurance of love. Relief comes from my many dreams of Hershey in heaven and the promise to never forget our love and devotion in it's daily triumph. God must have had an idea and means to create such a creature as a dog. They keep us grounded with their simplicity. When the world can be so oppressive or complex , we are rewarded by the welcoming joy of their greeting. They could be described as the True Time Cops: always there to simply share a couch, a walk, a meal or the excitement to receive a ride makes cause for daily re-evaluation of the stubborn world outside. God created this extraordinary partnership to be something truly radiant in our lives. With this thought in mind, my faith tells me that all their love and purpose is not in vain. Everything has purpose. God has purpose. And into his hands I am assured she will go. I will miss all her protectiveness and the feeling of being on the inside of love. She will not be forgotten in anyway and remembered in everyway. My heart genuinely goes out to you again for your wonderful gift . Thank you for your love & friendship Hershey! all my love / see you again my friend ....Sue

Deeply beloved friend!

Buck Switzer

In loving memory of Higgins, who gave joy and happiness to our home for over 16 years. He is greatly missed, He will be in our hearts forever.

Hillary was the sweetest cat I have ever known. She gave me more love that I ever thought possible. I will miss her, but she lives on in my heart as she will for the rest of my days.

Diana

You were with me the longest, through both good & bad. I will see you again my beloved. Kiss Dru for me.

D. Quick

Thank you, sweet Hitchie, for all the years of love, companionship and laughter you have given me. I will always love you and remember you. Until we meet again, happy trails.

With love,

H.Kat -- my beautiful, noble kitty with the incomparable white undercoat peeking through your coal-black fur, and your dazzling green eyes. How grateful I am that you adopted us 15 years ago, and how sweet the memories of the joy you gave to G & G in their last months and to me for so long. Rest with Garfy and Fen, sweet boy. Sebastian, Guinness, Eeyore, Moses, Oscar, Bo, Bailey, and the people who love you.

I don't think I will ever have another cat like you. You were fun and friendly, most of the time you weren't! I didn't know how much fun and memorable moments you would bring when I adopted you 10 years ago. You hated to be held and kissed on the face but loved your back rubbed. It took years to get you to stay in the yard...what a Houdini you were. I will really miss plugging the holes under the fence that you made. The pain of your loss will be with me for some time but I know you are with Gizzy and Ava now and they will care for you. I know in time I can look at your pictures and smile but now I only have tears. I still look for you in the house waiting for you to bump your head into the frig wanting food, wanting to see you give me that "look" of yours and flipping your nubby tail. I wish I could have you back!! Fresno and Leo miss you too and are being very patient with me. Someday we can all be together again....We all love you!
Mommy (Nancy), Ben, Fresno, and Leo...Daddy misses you too but won't say so....

Ho, it's been 5 years ago today that you left us and we still miss you so much. We know you are happy and pain free, romping with Hooter, Sugars, Jonas, Motie, Mattie and now Dos.

You will be forever in our hearts - we love and miss you still. Till we meet again, my dear friend...............

The Robbins

Hobbes, we miss you and it hasn't even been a day. I can't even begin to imagine your panic when you realized you were trapped on the garage door after jumping onto it from the van. I'm sorry we closed the door on you. We didn't know you were there.

We're going to miss your silent meows, and your loving kneads. The couch will be a different place without your lounging body. We love and miss you.

Hobie cat - my little kitty dog. It's hard to fall asleep at night without you on my tummy. I can still hear you purr. I know you're up there with your sister and my dad. Be nice to your sister - no biting - just kisses.
I miss you so much!

Geri

HOBIE CAT:

Born in a shed and abandoned by your cat-mother I became your human mother before your eyes even opened.

For the next 15 years you lived in our menagerie and demanding very little. You stuck-by your conviction to be an introvert, rarely revealing yourself to strangers.

Cancer grew inside, which even your animal-doctor mother could not cure.

Today I gave you the last gift I could give you- a quick and painless death.

I have known that this day was coming for more than a year now. And finally you got sicker and I got braver. But my heart got weaker in the last few days when I came to terms with this inevitable day.

You must have sensed something was wrong as I cried and cried and cried over the last few days as I held you and told you how I loved you and how special you are to me and how I will miss you.

Your memory will live in my heart FOREVER.

Always in our thoughts.

Pat Avery

Hobo had an incredible spirit. Despite being very frail, he defied our dogs and ventured outside to lie in the sun his last days. He had been abandoned by his original family, and just showed up on my sofa one morning and adopted me nearly 10 years ago. He went through 4 moves, multiple other rescued pets and living situations and took it all in his stride. He was my masseuse, my pillow pal. His last night was spent in his favorite spot, on his rug next to the warm woodstove. He took his last breaths in my arms. We buried him in our Pet Garden, wrapped in his rug.

Nancy Greene

You were a stray that worked its way into my heart and into my life. After 14 years together, you have left my life, but you will never leave my heart. I miss you so much.

Susan McPhillips

Watching videos of you when you were younger and so full of life has given us comfort, knowing that is how you are now at Rainbow Bridge. Kizzy will show you the way and when the others join you in their time you will show them. Until we are all together we shall never forget you and always you will be in our hearts.

Debbie & Keith

Hobo was a gift that was sent to us at the time> We will never know were she came from, as she showed up at my back door in the dead of winter. We started feeding her and built a special house for her to keep warm in. In the spring she had 4 kittens,2 passed away and we found homes for the other 2. We took her in to our home and she was our furry child for the next six years until we found out she had cancer. The day we put her down is still a very sad memory and she will never be forgotten, we miss her very much and will always love!!!!!.......

Melmac

To my first kitty, at that time four months old, remember how you used to play inside my purse and how we used to play? You were quiet and gentle. I miss you! Guess what - you will soon have a tree planted in your memory in the state of Colorado on public lands. A group called TreeGivers will do this. Have fun in Heaven with Jesus and with your friends Tigger and Sandy! Love, Beverly Ann Johnson and cats Samantha, Lamb, and Blackie

My most loyal friend for 12 years. My heart is broken over losing you. May God protect you and love you as I have.

Meg Yeates

Holly was the perfect family pet. She had her own personality and we always saw her as more of a person than a dog. She was friendly, kind, affectionate and sweet, whilst also being stubborn and grumpy, but we loved her for it. She will always be in our hearts and minds, and we will love her forever.

Neil, Kath and Elayna Smith

Holly brought alot of joy to my families life. She had her own sweet and unique personality. She really knew how to touch our hearts. I know that we are hurting really bad right now but we will always cherish all of the memories that she gave us. I know that your in heaven now my little angel and GOD is watching over you. I Know that I will see you again one day. We love and miss you so very much.

Tonya

Beloved Pet & loyal friend. We love & miss you baby.

Stacy Archuleta

August 11, 2002 will be 2 years since our beautiful Sheltie, Holly, had to leave us - and to this day, we still have the feeling that she is still around. Many strange things and sounds often happen that we think are not just coincidental, so we know she's up there looking down and saying, "Hey, I'm thinking about you today".

Holly was the most unselfish and giving being we have ever known. She knew our moods, and loved us even when we were down or depressed. She is truly missed, and it seems like yesterday that she was still here with us as a pup.

We love and miss you, Holly Dog.

Maria Rose and Danny Elswick

Holly was our beloved friend and protector. She was always waiting patiently on our doorstep when we would come home and manned the front at night as we slept. She came to us in December of 1996 and remained a loyal and happy canine for us until sadly we had to say goodbye on July 5, 2002. We will never forget our loving Holly and our hearts are heavy with grief at this time. One day we know we will meet again at that wonderful place called the "Rainbow Bridge". Holly we want you to know that we loved you more than ever and we will always think of you when we pull up our driveway only to miss those special eyes peering into our faces along with your tail wagging your loving hellos. We are so sorry you had to go through so much pain Holls and if we could change it, we would. Angel, Mama, Tommy, Raider, Pidge, and Mira miss you too. It won't be the same without you here. Enjoy your beautiful days at Rainbow Bridge and watch for us Hollybell because one day we will come for you. We love you girl!! Love Todd, Susie, Candice and Casey

Until we meet you again at the Rainbow bridge, you are forever in our hearts and we'll miss you every day till then.

Susan, Denny and Andrew, Erik And Jeffrey Too

My precious baby left me, just three days after her sister Tinker. One year old is too young to die, she wasn't ready for it, she had so much fight left in her.

I really don't know how I'm going to get through this, my heart is broken......

Rachel Willis

Holly Bear, Daddy and I miss you so very much. We are glad you are in a better place, but are hearts are so very heavy. We love you.

My Precious Holly Belle,
There really aren't adequate words to express how very much I love and miss you. You were the only happiness I had in my life ... the only thing I had to look forward to ... the only thing I was living for. I have another dog now and she's wonderful ... I tried to find one that looks like you, but my heart still breaks for you. I miss you so very much pumpkin girl ... I love you so very much. What you were to me is something that I'll never have again. I hope you're with Grammie and Sable; I don't want you to be alone.

All my love forever,
Your Mom,
Suzie

Holly was a very special friend. She not only was our pet, but a very special part of my family. Deep down inside, I believe the cancer that consumed her life brought my family closer together. She brought so much joy to our lives and brightened each and every one of our days...We will miss you, Holly :( I know you will be up there waiting...

Greatly Loved by Her Family and Friends

Joe Northrop

Holly, you were the love of our lives. You were energetic, loving and playful. You loved to have your ears rubbed and sleep with us. You were the best dog that anyone could have asked for. When you are in heaven, you can go for walks with pap. Jeanne and Bradley will be sending balloons to you in heaven. Kitty, Angel and Snowbelle miss you too. You will always be remembered and never forgotten. We will love you always.

Ron, Carol, Jeanne & Bradley Lindrose

I still miss the wonderful love of my special friend. Every morning I wish him good morning and every night I wish him good night. He is still and will always be my "Baby Dog".

Holly Strain

I miss you terribly, girlfriend.

Monica

Holly passed away suddenly on September 16th. She was a sweet, loveable dog and will be missed immensely.

Lucy C

My little angel baby sent from heaven has gone home. You are loved and missed by mom and dad. We love you Homer.

Debbie

Our baby "homer" may you rest in peace and shine above. Our hearts are very lonesome and we miss you dearly. I know we will be together again, so look for me by the bridge. I can't wait to hold you near again.. We love you xoxoxoxoxo

Homer, you were my best friend, who's time with me was too short. I know you will be watching over me, and we will be together again someday. I will always love you baby, now and forever and will miss you terribly.

Our sweet little boy,

We love you so much. we miss you so much.

how much I want to play kitty on the cob with you and super homey, and kiss your chin and paws. your daddy misses holding you at night. I miss your nibbling on my nose. how much I wanted us to be able to do that again.

when we first met you, we knew that perhaps we wouldn't have a lot of time with you. maybe that's why we did so much together. it's going to hurt so much when I sit at the synthesizer and not have you there, or balance you in my lap(with your paws-paws over my hands) and try to type at the computer at the same time. it will be so lonely.

thank you for being with us, especially this past year. I'm not sure we would have made it without you. it has been the hardest year of our lives, and yet you were always there, loving us or making us laugh.

we thought, when we got you and you were so sick, that you would at least know love for whatever time God granted us with you. Little did we know that you had so much to teach us about unconditional Love and all of it to share. You have changed us both, baby-- we are better people because of you.

No more medicines, no more of your hated water, no more doctors, no more thermometers. You're free, sweetheart.

Explore all the closets you want, look in all the mirrors you can, run down every single hallway you find, and then again. And find someone to give the kisses we want to give you, for you are a gift to anyone who spends time with you.

I know you see your memorial. and I know you see our hearts and how much we feel lost that you're gone.

We will see you at the Bridge. And we will always remember you until that day.

With all our love, sweet little boy,
Mommy and Daddy and Renna

We lost our boy Hondo, he was 14 years. He got very ill, and we had to have him put down. I was with Hondo when he was put down and it was very hard, yet he went peacefully. He had a bad heart.

We still miss him terribly. We had him since he was a little puppy of 2 months old.

We know he is not in pain now, and is waiting on the other side of the moon for us, along with our other two pets we lost, Baby and Brandi

Anyone who has lost a dear pet that you had for many years, you can know how we feel.

I know it sounds heartless but we still get more upset at the loss of our pets than we do some family members. It has been 3 years since we lost Hondo and I still can't talk or think about him without crying.

Bob & Phyllis Boyse

She was a great lady with a huge heart and never complained about her pain even up until the end. She loved us unconditionally and she was a member of our family. There will never be another like her and we will miss her forever.

Lynne and Angela Gorn

This is to my dawg,
Honey. I love you girl you made my life heaven while the 8 years you we're with me. Sometimes I wish I could switch myself for you, you deserved the world and then some. The day I heard you were gone I couldn't accept it...I felt my life was over, but I keep living cause I know the way you were. When I was down or crying you would always come to me nudge me and get me back up. You we're my honor and bravery and without you its so hard. But I'm trying hard for you Honey. I love you with all my heart and I will never forget you, everyday I live I live for both of us. See you at the cross roads so you won't be lonely.

I shall never forget you, my precious "Honey Bear." You lived but a brief life, but you brought a lifetime of joy and remembrance. I shall look for you at the Rainbow Bridge. Your papa.

My beautiful girl, you were truly a gift and I don't know what I did to deserve you.
You will always be a part of me and I miss you every minute of the day. You will always be my baby.

Your mom forever,
Priscilla

Hon Hon you are my best friend. You were there during those long hours of studying, you were kind to me no matter how I mood was. You were the first one to know I came home and always welcome me at the front door.

Seeing you so ill broke my heart. God wanted you to go away, so until we meet again, I miss you Hon Hon...and Bon Bon too. Please find each other and enjoy each other until I come to join you.

Luv you always,

The path is long without you up front! I see a wisp of white, when walking, I blink and it's gone.

My human Friends say "It's only a cat!" but it's not you are a companion and a small white furry friend.

Audrey (Quiltie) Snyder

I just decided to add my girls name. It has been over 9 years since I lost my girl to a spinal tumor and I still tear up over her. While I have written a lot to myself about her...I thought I would share a poem I wrote.

Child of Mine

At first it was a struggle, just to make it through.
I know there is never a moment my heart doesn't think of you.
They said it would be painless, I can only hope that it was.
You seemed so calm and peaceful, you never made a fuss.
I don't know when you left me, I was too upset to tell.
All I did was hold you tight while I just cried and yelled.
I didn't want to let you go, though I knew in my heart it was time.
Your eyes tried to tell me, but I tried to block the signs.
We had not spent enough time on earth for me to let you part so quick.
The last thing I remember, though, is how you were so sick.
It was not a life you could live the way you always had,
with a smile on your furry face you always seemed so glad
Just to see me and hear my voice toss a friendly tone,
and the way you'd waggle your fuzzy butt when I brought you a meaty bone.
The nights we spent together, beside me you always laid,
While your zest for life continued on, your body began to fade.
And so dear friend it seems to be that death keeps us apart
remember this, my sweet sweet child,
You are ALWAYS in my heart.

-Kirsten Dodd

Tell Ho hi from us and have fun together again. We miss you both!!!!

Hope will always remain in my heart. She had brought me happiness and had taught me to be patient and happy even when she suffered silently in her pain. I love you Hope. I know God will love you too.

Mitali Tandan

We will miss you and we thank you for all the love you gave to us.

Colin and Janice

Such a sweet, special cat. You had medical difficulties, such as epilepsy and diabetes, but they were under control, and you comforted me so much when Mimi died in April. How I wish you were still with me. I didn't think you would go so quickly - I was told the cancer had spread to your lungs from who knows where. I hope you did not suffer. Please know if I could have done anything to save you, I would have done so. But it was not to be, my sweetheart. Rest in peace, and don't be too rough in playing with Mimi. God bless you and her. I will hold you in my arms again some day. Helen

Hotshot-the best dog in the world. Now you don't hurt anymore, and you are free and fast as the wind. Wait for us by the Rainbow Bridge, and soon we'll be together again. It will seem like a long time to us, but will only be the blink of an eye to you. We love you, Shot.

A companion for over 20 yrs Hot Stuff has been there for our family through thick and thin. It has been only 2 weeks since her gentle passing and I can't let go.

Nancy Hulbert

Houndex was a good girl, the alpha female of the Henderson clan of animals right up until the end. In her younger days, she was vibrant, full of life and would growl and anyone (including the TV) or anything. Not in a vicious way, but in her own unique way. She had ears like radar dishes and she was independent, but mindful and full of love to give to her people. She loved to give kisses and enjoyed being pet and held. She went by a variety of nicknames including: Dean, Deaner, Deaner ro cidity, Deanie Roci Rossiter, Deanie Roci Ross, Houndy, Houndy Mc Deanis, Houndenexity, Dexi, The Old Woman, Bear Bear, and Bear woman. She kept all other dogs around her in line -- even those how weighed 4 times more than she. She was very loving and will be missed very much by her family and by her half-brother mini schnauzer "Coach". Now she is playing with her friends Gabby 1, Fritz and Timmy up at the Rainbow Bridge. We all loved her and now miss her so much. We know that she is no longer in pain and that serves to comfort us somewhat. Please say a prayer for the best dog with the most spirit I've ever known.

To my best friend. I love you and I'll see you again

We loved Howard very much. He was such a special little creature and we miss him a great deal. XXX

Jenny Bell & Matt Knight

Howie, you were our first and will always have a special place in our hearts. You weren't a pet but a loyal and dependable friend and companion that gave us a great 20 years with you. You were our "coast to coast" companion who never complained. We know you are now free of your aches and pains and are with your brother who can now pester you again.
Thank you, good buddy, for those wonderful years with you.
Dick and Linda

Howie, it's been one day since I put you to sleep. Still, it feels like it just happened. You were so sick and I didn't really know how bad it was until the very end. I hope you didn't suffer very much and I hope it helped you to have me there with you until the end. I wouldn't have had it any other way. The whole family misses you but I miss you the most. You were my buddy for 12 years and you were with me through great times and awful times. I will always remember you when I look to your window perch and whenever I open a container of milk with a ring around the neck. Those were your favorites and I'm sure I'll be finding them around the house. I will never stop missing you and I know in my heart that I will be with you again. I love you dearly. Goodbye Buddy.

Jennifer

Howie-Your were the greatest and the most loved dog. Thanks and you will never be forgotten. When I meet back up with you at Rainbow Bridge I'll make sure I bring you your favorite biscuits and you make sure you give me your famous kisses. We love you and until we meet again just play, soar high, bark loud and make friends! Your the BEST-Bye for Now. Mommy and Daddy.

Dear Huggie Boy,
You were the best friend and loyal companion anyone could have had. You were fun, loving, and always there for me. Thank you for being by my side for almost 12 years. You were only 35 days old when we brought you home and you gave us so much love and so many good times. This house was your castle. My heart breaks as I write this as you meant so much to me. Thank you for hanging in there with me these past two years as I know you weren't at your best. You were there and at my side through some tough times for me. As I look back, I think you were my guardian angel. I needed you so much through these times and you were THERE. You sure looked beautiful after your mouth surgery, I am sorry you didn't have a chance to use it. I was so excited when the vet called and said you made it through and you were up and around. Only to be called 30 minutes later to be told you were gone but not before you had your walk. I'm so glad you had a walk. You loved your walks. I wish I could have been there but Sara & I came to see you and we cried and said our goodbyes. I hope you knew we were there. The house is so empty and I haven't been able to pick anything up or put things away. You will always be in my heart Huggie. I miss you terribly. I look to the skies and hope you are in a place that is fun and you are running and eating and having a good time. I will light a candle for you on Monday and we have a bush to plant in your honor. I try to smile when I think of you. it's hard, but you were the BEST! I love you Huggie Boy!!!
LOVE MOM

Zippy competed in Endurance events from three years of age until he was 17 years old. He loved to run. His goal was to be there first. Yet, despite the drive to compete in an event, he was a lover. He would drop his head into your hands and gently mouth you with his lips. He was 23 years old when he coliced very severely. He gave me so much. He forgave everything. I always said that when the time came I hoped that I would have the strength to not allow him to suffer. God gave me that strength. Zippy was my friend and family. I could choose that for him.

Humphrey was gentle. He loved to be sung to. He looked at me with love, and trust. The night before he died, He was eating from my hand, he was warm, and comfortable. When he came into my life he was sick. He grew stronger, but turtles are sensitive, and I don't think he ever really became his old self. My condolence is that he was loved, cared for and given the dignity he deserved, and the grieving that accompanies a great soul. I only hope to give the tranquility and unconditional love he gave me to others.

Humphrey:
You were my best friend, the sparkle in my eye the spring in my step.
You were the very best thing that ever happened to me!
I will love you forever!!
Till we meet again!
Mom
(p.s. I hope that it rains Bo-Bo's in heaven!)

Hunca Munca,
You started out as my daughters pet but quickly became a family member,...We loved it when you'd pop your head out of one of our coat pockets in public and see how others reacted to you....We will miss you.....

Hunni was my child I couldn't have. She was my happiness. We fought cancer for 1 year with chemo only to lose her 3 months later. Part of me died with her. I KNOW I WILL BE WITH HER IN HEAVEN SOMEDAY!

Hunter Came into my life almost 8 years ago, along with my wife, stepson and Porsche, Hunter's half sister. Rest her soul, too. He was a robust, loving animal with a human-like personality. We had many special times together, as a family, and just me and Hunter. Hunter was more dog than I had ever owned. Loyal, 'till his passing. Strong as an ox. He even rode a skateboard pushing it with 3 legs, and front paw on the board. I will never forget my "Harry Buddy". He was what you have always wanted in a dog. I love him and miss him dearly. I certainly am a lucky man to have him in my life, and cherish every moment spent with him more and more every day. I didn't know what I had until it became a memory.

Criswell & Kim Brown

Hunter was a very special and beloved part of our family. We only had him three and a half years, which seems so short now, but felt like forever while he was here. Our hears are sad and miss him like crazy, but we know he is not suffering now and he is waiting for us at the Bridge wagging his tail like he always did. We love you Boo and miss you tons ... but we will meet again someday and once again walk side by side. Abby misses her buddy and faithful companion, but we are giving her lots of hugs and kisses. We know you are watching over us and taking care of our baby girl Julia. We wish she could have known you longer than just 10 months ... but you are her "guardian fur-baby". Take care of yourself Boo ... tons of kisses and hugs from mommy and daddy ... (nanny and poppy miss you too!) .... Love always and forever and ever ... Mom, Dad, Julia, Abby, Sadie and Lexi ....xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

p.s. Try not to eat TOO many Dentabones up there ... :)

To my beloved dog,

You were the most loving and playful dog anyone know..we will miss you dearly, especially me, I know were your at now, you'll be fine, you will always be in my heart and mine!

Your loving owner
Miriam

Our house is now so empty, we miss his presence, his bad breath, his bumping into walls and most of all we miss our Hutchy. Hutch's age and health took their toll on him, he died peacefully at home on his bed in the still of the night. We miss him so much. All our love Hutch
your Mom and Bobby
