Year 2002 Tributes

Jabba thru Jyota

Jabba was more than just a dog. He was my companion and friend. I hate that he was robbed of so many good years of life ahead. My family and I miss him more than words can describe.

Gary Boone

Jack was our 7 year old American Bobtail. He suddenly became ill with his kidneys and had to be put to sleep on 11/03/02. We are all heartbroken at this sudden loss of such a sweet and loving cat.

Suzanne Strickland

Remembering Mr. Jack, fine fellow of a cat. What a good boy!
I have lit a candle for you to show you the way over the rainbow bridge. I know you will be happy there.

Lucille

Thank you and we miss you

Jin

Goodnight God bless sweetheart

Pamela Mitchell

Jack, you left us the same way you came into our lives...quite unexpectedly. I am so sorry for your suffering, but I choose to remember your boundless energy, your gentle spirit, your kind heart, and your tremendous love. While you were with us you gave us ten beautiful puppies. I will never forget you comforting me when Ringo passed away. You can now run and play with your sons, Ringo and Tick. I will miss your running and playing and the way you would always nudge my hand when you walked beside me. I have never had a dog as wonderful as you. I celebrate your life and the love you gave. You were greatly loved and will always be in my heart. Wait for me at the bridge. I love you more than words can say, my dearest friend.

Dave Angel

Bye bye Jack.

Sebastian

Jack was a wonderful little dog. His love and need to be with us was so great. He was a huge part of our family, always with us when he could be. He loved the beach and the water and when there his favorite past time was impressing onlookers by diving for rocks. He had a great sense of smell which in the end got the better of him. He sensed something and bolted out of the yard as I watched a tour bus come into his path. I have a hole in my broken heart the size of him. I'm not sure how it will get better. Time, time. So little Jack, I know how much you needed us as you took a great big part of our hearts with you to keep you company and cuddle with till we meet again someday. We love you, we love you, we love you. I hope you are in the company of Maxine and 4 Wheel and all your other buddies. We love and remember them too.

Keep house little buddy,

Love Mama, Papa, Sarah Jane, Annalise and everyone else. xo

My sweet sonny boy, though you were only with us for a short while, you lived such a full life. You brought sunshine and love into our home each and every day. You will be forever remembered as a companion, a son, a baby brother, and a friend. Our hearts ache with such pain that you were taken from us so unexpectedly. We know that you are in a good place now. Run free and wait for us, we'll see you someday again. We love you Jack.
Dad, Mommy, and Maddie

Jack, You were Sasha's best buddy and we will miss you. You will live forever in a special place in our hearts.

Sheila

My Dearest Jack,

You are my heart and my soul. You were taken at such a young age by such a nasty disease, cancer, but you didn't suffer long. I think you and God were the ones to make the decision to die at home, and if I had to lose you, I'm thankful that it was in our home and that I was with you. God blessed me when he sent you and Jill to me, and for that I will always be grateful. You were there for me when I was sad, and you shared in my joy when I was happy. You were the perfect companion, you were my dear, sweet son, my boy, my "bubba" Jack. Sammy and Jill miss you so much, just like momma. What will we do without you? You were the man of the house, the one in charge. You had such a wonderful personality..."Here I am, here I am, love me, love me!" Everyone who met you loved you instantly. You will live in my heart for the rest of my living days. Please be patient, I will meet you one day at Rainbow Bridge, and we will be together forever and always. Take care of our little girl Penny, and sweet GG too. You were so good at taking care of all of us. I love you bubba Jack. I will never, ever forget you.

Love Mommy

Thank you jack for all your love, loyalty and companionship. I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you sitting in the SPCA cage on June 8, 1996 and that was the moment my life changed. I will always love you and we all miss you. I will see you when I join you in heaven many years from now.

Trish Miller

Jack, You were a great for 17 years. You loved mom and helped her to have a warm friend to come home to. You helped her after Dad died, and we will always love you.

Marilyn, Barb and David

This was my baby and best friend he was a blue doberman, very smart and just a loveable guy and very protective of me I miss him so there will never be another one to take his place he died to young he got a disease that dobermans get when they turn the age of 5 and the vet said only dobes get it.

Pauline Turner

My dearest soulmate ever, dear Jack, it has been so many years since I lost you, and still I cry to think of you. I can only hope you are pain free, happy and content. I hope you are with sisters Barra and Camille, and that by now you have met your great great Grandfather, Taffy. My dear kitties, I will never forget you. I trust that my Grammy is petting and loving you all, and that our friend Lindy is assisting her. Cousin Dooley is probably at the center of all the action. Auntie Carol and I love you all so much. Save us a seat.......

Patti

What a great loving girl. How I miss her scratch at the door, her wiggly welcome when we came home, her head lolling off the edge of the couch, her belly up for a good rub. How tragic that I should have to make the decision I had to make for her, and how heavy is my heart. I cannot stop weeping for my first, furry baby. Rest easy, my love. We'll romp again someday.

Trish Kuper

Oh JP, our "mamma dog", "mutley" "JPer's"...we will meet again...Mommy will always love you. You will be in my heart forever and one day. The loss was so great, I will find you again when it's my time to leave this earth. Never forget the "FAMILY WHISTLE"

Jackson was a magnificent, powerful horse up to his last day. He was pure white, with a silver shine to his coat that would almost blind you in the sunlight. Even though Jackson was 25, he acted and looked only 10 years old. He had no health problems and I rode him the day before he went to horse heaven. It was just a freak benign tumor that killed his small intestine suddenly, but otherwise his health was perfect. His legs were strong and sound and I rode him 5 days a week for the last 10 years. He was my best friend and partner in trail riding, which we did all over southern California and Nebraska. Carrying the American flag, we would gallop into the arena of a sporting or horse event and I would stay on him to sing the National Anthem. He was very flashy and people noticed him everywhere we went. He got more compliments than I ever did!! Children especially would flock to him, because his face was so beautiful and his coat so sparkling. Jackson was very gentle, even though he was still a stallion. I will never forget him and life will never be the same for me. Thank you for reading about his spectacular life!

I will always love you my sweet boy Jack!!! Love, Julia

My dear sweet Jack,

You'll be missed dearly and are loved more than you'll ever know. I hope you are comfortable and happy now, I will always think of you, my beautiful boy with the gorgeous tail.

Love You.

Rachel.

Jackson was only 8 weeks old, but we fell in love with him quickly. He ate something unknown and developed an ulcer. He spent his last week at the vet's office. He will be missed.

The Tanners

You will be missed very greatly. You were the leader of the pack and the original rescued animal. Go find Dutch and run and play. Love, Mom and Pat

Jacob you may be gone in body but you will always be in our hearts forever. We love you very much and do so much for us. We will miss you!

The Bank Family

To Jacob my best boy
We lost our most precious gift from God, we never had children so our pets are our focal points. Jacob was the smartest pet we ever had. You could talk to him and almost wait for an answer. I can't get over the empty feeling I have in my life. For 13 years he was faithful to love you, protect you and comfort you. Jacob was a great teacher, he taught our new pet Abbi so much, she leaned on him for everything. I miss him so much it's only been 3 days since he has passed and it seems like months, when we go off I find it hard to go back home because he is not there at the door to welcome us home, he's not there to snuggle with to talk to ,to love.In my heart I know that he is there but God how I hurt never has the pain been so strong, I've lost other pets but this time seems to be lasting forever. I cry everyday, I don't sleep much and when I do It's a light sleep. Jacob always knew the rules and obeyed them we did not allow him in the in the kitchen when cooking I'd say get out of the kitchen you might get burned and there he'd go sit right in the doorway but not in the kitchen. The day Jacob died we could not bring ourselves to bury him throwing dirt on his face he had never been away from us more than a night so we had him cremated and we have his ashes here with us it seems to be a comforting way to keep him close. I'm sure Jacob is having the best time now with the other dogs in heaven but some how I really wish my time with him was longer maybe even forever!!I love you so much Jacob and I know that you always have loved me it was great to have you in my life and I will always be grateful for the time we had and the love we shared you were the one thing in my life that was mine. I love you and miss you so much Good-bye buddy rest in God's loving arms and his best playground. love, Mom Dad and Abbi too!!!

Our buddy is missed so much already.

Rick and Julie Eidal

To our little angel Jadie. Thank you for 11 wonderful years of love and friendship. Your presence will never diminish and your love will stay with us in our hearts forever. We miss your snorts and snoring at night and our night, night cuddles and kisses before you went to sleep in our bed. Daddy misses his walkies with you and mummy misses her friend to talk to during the day. You are always welcome to come and visit from the bridge and we will join you there as soon as we can. Daddy is sorry that he did not get home in time before you went to the bridge but he hopes that you will remember what he said to you the night before. Please have fun and keep safe until that day that when we will meet again. We are saving our kisses and hugs just for you. Love you always cuddlepup.

Our little girl Jade was a special little angel. She protected my sons when they were babies and rough housed with them as they grew up. She was a constant companion to my mother and loved everyone equally. She sensed what you needed from her and gave it. She was a gift from heaven, and I know she is waiting for us to someday join her.

You were my friend. My partner. My defender. My girl.
I was your life. Your love, your leader.
You were mine, faithful and true, to the last beat of your heart.
I owe it to you to be worthy of your love and devotion.
I am still aiming to be worthy.
I love and miss you Jadles..one year on..my heart still aches. I pray that you are happy and now..painfree.
Until we are together again bubby. Mummy xxx

Dearest Jade, We loved you very much. You were our baby girl. You are missed everyday and thought of every minute. Now you can be in heaven with your beloved sister Sashi. Hugs and Kisses and ChChCh, Mom and Dad and Jazmine XOXOXO

My loving Jade,
I can not even begin to express how deeply I am feeling your loss. I miss you so very much and long for your knowing looks of understanding and affection. I hold you in my heart until the time when I can be with you again. Keep a place warm for me as I did so often for you. I hope you are at peace and that I can find peace in my memories of our life together. I will love you for all time. Your loving friend and companion, Sandy

Jade you will be greatly missed. You added so much joy to our lives and unconditional love. I only hope that you will be waiting for us so we can have eternity instead of 3 short years. I love you Carrie

I've had cats my whole life, but I never had one before like Jade. She was the sweetest, most gentle cat I ever had. She went through growing up with three children and never once growled, hissed or scratched one of them, even if they were less than gentle with her.

My 15-yr-old son has never known life without her. She is loved deeply and the grief I'm feeling is beyond words. I knew she was acting different and getting on in years, but up until the last weekend, she was still active and loving.

The last weekend I knew there was something terribly wrong and I could see her going down before my eyes. I feared she might not make it until Monday to see the vet. In some ways, I knew what they were going to tell me, but I held out hope there might be "something" they could do which would restore her to health and give us more time with her. The closer I got to the appointment, the more I knew in my heart this was probably going to be it. While the doctor could give her some temporary relief, she was in kidney failure and he said she would be back in the state she was in by the weekend. When I looked at her, it was like her spirit was no longer with her - the spirit we all knew and loved.

Having had to make the decision to let her go, was the hardest I ever had to make. I've never had to make that kind of decision all alone, but there I was. I knew I didn't want to make her suffer anymore. She had been too good and loving to us for so many years, it wasn't fair of me to try to gain a few more days with her.

They said I could take as much time with her as I wanted and told me to knock on the door when I was ready. As I held her and kissed her and told her how much I loved her, I knew there was no way I was going to be ready. Finally I told them they better just take her because I couldn't tell them I would be ready. They had me wait in my car and would bring her to me. Thankfully, they let me sign all the papers and pay the bill right in the exam room so when I left, I could just go right out the door.

Before I left for the vet, I thought if they said it was time, I would ask to hold her while they put her to sleep. I held up until we actually talked about it being her time and then I could only cry and looking back, I don't know that I could have been the calming presence I wanted her to feel as she went to her next life. It didn't even occur to me to ask at the time.

I also knew I had to bring her home. My kids have buried all their pets through the years in our back yard - hamsters, gerbils, rats, birds they found in the yard. I could do no less for my beloved, Jade.

It took me some time to compose myself to make the five minute drive home and the closer I got to home, the tears started coming. When I pulled in our driveway, my husband had just gotten home, and I just sat there and sobbed. There was no way I could move. I couldn't think, I couldn't do anything but cry. My husband asked if he should tell our son and I said yes, since I knew there was little more I could do but sob.

When I finally came in the house I was still crying. Our dog has heard and seen me cry before, but this time we are sure she knew it was Jade, since she started wimpering. While they weren't always the closest of friends from the beginning - on Jade's terms, of course, they had become closer and slept sharing the dog's bed. My daughter would put bottled water out for Jade and instead Jade would drink out of Kellie's dish. After all the years of Jade acting indignant we had brought a dog into HER house, we were really amused when we would find them sleeping together.

The worst part was, our neighbor was having a huge tree taken down out back and I couldn't bury her right away. I had to wait until the next morning. I've made a headstone for her the best I could. My son wanted us to purchase a "real" one for her. Because it's fall, there aren't any flowers we can put there for her, but we'll find something to make the place special.

I've lost many pets before and I know this won't be the last, but losing Jade has taken something out of me deep inside.

Rest well my beloved friend and companion, Jade. We'll never forget you.

In Loving Memory of Jade Ling.

We miss our beautiful boy. We will never be the same without you. We love you, Jaeger Puppy!

Andrea, Brett, and Linda Leffel/brian Matthews

Jaejae was a beautiful little guy - I love him so much but he is at peace now. He had a crazy personality and was the most loving, smoochy and generous cat I've ever had. I was so lucky to have seven months with him even thought it was tragically short. will always miss my little boofhead. He died of FIP.

Karen

Jagger, our beautiful boy was born in our home, only six short years ago, left suddenly from an unexpected illness robbing us the opportunity to say goodbye. We will always love him and miss him dearly. Our home is empty without Jag. He now crosses the Rainbow B ridge playing with our little girl, Ginger until we all meet again.

Sweet Jake, things aren't right here without you. The only thing keeps me going is knowing you are not hurting anymore. You're the most loyal friend anyone ever had and we were so lucky you came to us. Please wait by the bridge, big guy. I believe....

Jake we love you even though you have left this earth. Tyler and I will see you again someday in a much better place. You were a great dog. Your loyalty was unending. And I am sorry you had to suffer for almost 2 days. We tried to help you and it hurt us terribly to see you suffer. God Bless You Jake, Suzy and Tyler

Words cannot express how much I already miss you Jake. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life.
You will always be with me my precious cat
I miss your spotted tummy....
and your tiger-striped legs...
and your black bottom paws...
I love you so....

Lisa

For Jake,

Your little face as you sat in the clerks apron at the pet store captured Lisa's heart and then mine. Your spirit will be with us always, and our love for you never ending. You are our little angel now and we are glad you are in a place with no pain. The last 13 years have given us the most wonderful memories to carry on. We love and miss you so. Sleep well our little boy, we love you.

Jake was an awesome cocker & rescue dog waiting for his forever home. He died from complications due to liver infection. I will greatly miss him and I am sorry I failed him in not getting him to his forever home. Enjoy the rainbow bridge Jake and I will see you soon.

Tell Wyley hi. I will miss you. See you later.

Lee Reis

When we got you as a puppie we never expected how much joy and love that you would give to us. I'm glad that we had the time to share your life with you. You gave us your all , you showed us how smart you were and how much you understood right from the start. My rock man, our buddy boy. I know the day will come that we get to play rocks again and feel your fur against our faces. Until then enjoy the beautiful place and play nice with Emmitt and Munchie. we hope you know that your are one of our angels, and will never leave our hearts. Meet you at the bridge.
Love, Dad, Mom & the Boys

Mr. Jake, Thank you for saying goodbye. I miss your trouble making ways I can't believe I will be facing life without my best friend of ten years. I'm looking forward to being together again. Take care of Sadie. I love you.

Suzy Mineau

Mt best friend for 13 years. He is no longer in pain. I loved him with all my heart.

A very special soul

Jake (a.k.a. Bubba) was my soul mate and best friend! He saw me through many tough times & never failed to love me! His loss has left me feeling empty and nothing feels the same. I will forever remember his smell, his bark, his walk, and most of all, his undevoted love! I hope you're able to play ball and will wait for me. I miss you Bubba Jake & I hope you know your Momma loves you!

Jake came to us in special need - a rescue of Old Gold.
He rescued us and we will never forget him - fly free you beautiful old gentleman - we loved you so.

Diana & Jerry

Jake, you were a very special dog that I was privileged to have with me for 11 years. I remember the day my husband (then boyfriend) and I went to the pet store just to look and there you were. You were the cutest thing I ever seen and I just knew that we had to take you home. We decided to have a cup of coffee to think it over and when we return there was a big sign on your pen saying "I'm going home".
And home you were with us until 6/5/02. Two years ago you become sick and we almost lost you then but you fought back and got back your health.
During that time your new companion, Lexy, came to live with us and you couldn't have been happier. You two were like "Peas and Carrots" and I know that Lexy misses you just as much as we do. Cancer took you away and the saddest day for me was the day we had to put you down. I cried so much and still do. Never will you be replaced in my heart. You will always be with us. In fact your ashes with be in my favorite spot, my garden. I will cherish you always, my baby boy.
Mom

Our little mister - we love you Anne & Jennifer

Jake you are the love of our lives. You will always have a space in our hearts. We will miss you. We will never forget you. We will think of you always. I am glad you are at peace now and not feeling any more pain. I will never forget the way you always made your way into our bed at night and when you always thought of yourself as a lap dog. I would make room for you beside me always. Good bye my sweet dog, I Love You.

Love,

Dan, Kelly, Katie & Emily

Jake was my little side kick...what unconditional love he has...It's been so hard for me losing Jake...he was always so happy to see me, even if it was a second or two gone by...we were so much a part of each other! Judy Jason... Jake was attacked by a group of dogs...he had no chance to even think of defending himself, very painful death!

I miss you so much, my small boy. This week is a year that you left me, and I still think about you every day.
Please know that your daddy loves you and is missing you, and looking forward to meeting you again at the Bridge.
I love you my baby boy.

Jake was a wonderful friend for 11 years. He went through a lot with me. The death of my husband, and many, many milestones in my life and in our sons life. He was a highly intelligent dog. He suffered with epilepsy all his life. We have battled this disease all these years. But finally it is taking its toll. The sparkle is no longer in his eyes. He looks so very sad now. But my friend please understand what I am doing now. It is time you are pain free. Just Please remember too watch the Rainbow Bridge. Tell Tom I love him and miss him. We will meet again someday. Just know that I am doing this out of love. Bye my friend!

Cheryl & Dennis Cornish

I still can't bring myself to throw your stuff away. I love you and miss you terribly. Daddy still looks for you every night. Wait for us.

Patti & Jim Napolitano

He came to me when I needed him most. We rescued him from the pound off of death row. He was my best friend and I am going to miss him very much.

Steve

JakeTheDog was a shepherd mix rescued from a local animal shelter in March of 1997 by my son, my then-spouse and myself. He was an older puppy, they thought he was about 6 months old or so. We could tell that he had been beaten because he used to cringe and pee when we pet him, but a lot of love and caring helped with that. In February of this year he was diagnosed with lymphoma and given 1-3 months. Up until 2 days before he died, he had been doing very well. He still ate, and played and ran, except he did get tired more quickly. Suddenly the lumps were getting larger. The cancer burden was too much. He stopped eating Thursday, by Friday night he was throwing up blood, so Saturday Jeff, Mitch and I helped him to cross the bridge. We did not want him to suffer. I like to think that our purpose was to give him a good second home where he was loved and not afraid anymore. Even tho' we divorced, Jake spent time with both of us, especially during his last 3 months. Jake, my sweet puppy-baby, your time here was too short. You were supposed to be here 5 or 6 more years, at least until Jeff was in high school, but that was not to be. You gave us so much and brought such joy into everyone's life that you touched. Say hi to Roo for me. He had cancer too, and died the year you were born. Look! Can you see him there, across the bridge waiting for you to play and romp with him? He has chewies, and treats, and tennis balls to share with you (just don't try to taste his FrostyPaws :) but it's OK, you can have your own) It is so quiet here now, Jake, but sometimes I think I hear your funny "uuff" grunt when there is a noise out in the hall, or I see you out of the corner of my eye, but when I turn, you are not there of course....well, maybe you are in spirit, who knows? I love you Jakey, my little mooshky-puppy-face. I miss you so much more than I can say.

In Loving Memory of Jakey: I miss you!

Love always dear one, Cyndi

Here it is two years after you passed on, longer than you were alive and I still think of you every day. Buggy has taken on your habit of greeting me with kisses. I know that you taught him that. You raised him so well, my handsome little man.
Things are finally getting easier to handle. I will never forget you and will always love you.
There are nights I feel you crawl up and snuggle. I know that your spirit will always be with me.
I love you, baby boy!!

Laurie

Today my wife and I lost our best friend. He gave so much love to everyone he came in touch with. Thank you Jambah for the 15 plus years of unconditional love you have given us.

Glenn E. Greenall

James was a "rescue" cat. He had been abandoned, I assume. He lay outside my workplace. Animal control said he would be put to sleep if he took him. I picked him up, took him to the vet and he came home with me. He lived the rest of his time safely in my home. He was extremely gentle and loving. Actually he rescued me! He slept in the crook of my arm, and was a "perfect fit". I planned to have many more years with him, but unfortunately illness/cancer took him. He passed on last Monday and I miss him more than I can express. I love you James!

Sandy Bowling

Jamie was a very close and special family member. She stayed by our sides day and night, watching, protecting and loving us. She was a great companion giving us all her doggy love. She was a very gentle being. We will miss Jamie very much.

Bud & Bobbi

Her name was Jamima She lived by the sea she swam like a mermaid as happy as can be It came as a shock I can't even imagine My life without Jammers I can't even fathom

Julie (Jam'S Mom)

The most loving animal I've ever had. She was always by our side and very happy until the end (despite her battles with kidney failure and stomach cancer). She loved laying out in the sun, she even made it down the stairs to go outside on the day she passed. I miss her face, the way she showed so much compassion in her eyes. She was my child, my baby, whom I cared for each and every day. My home is so empty and quiet now without her, I miss her so much. I hope she is at peace and is sunbathing in heaven. One day we will be in lickem' park together.

Sandy

My precious puppy-girl, you brought love, light and happiness to my life. May you know how deeply you are loved and missed.

You were a gift from God. I pray that God has wrapped you in his love and taken away all your pain that you may play and be happy once more.

Love you always.....

ps. make sure He knows about your 8:00 puppy treats....

Chris

In loving memory to the most beautiful, loving, nurturing creature in the world-my baby Jackie

Stephanie

To our beloved main hound, you gave us such love and devotion. You took care of us for so many years without any regard for yourself. Even after you accident two years ago, you never kept trying to keep us happy. We miss you so very much that words can't begin to explain our grief. Lucky and Monty wish you were here, they keep waiting for you to return. We know that you and your beloved Dakota our waiting for us to join you. But for now, we can only look up at the stars and howl for our baby howler. We love you, Jared. Good bye.

A tiny girl who brought love to all who knew her passed away and the hearts she touched are heavy with grief. No other can ever fill the space that she fills inside but we will go on for we know that we shall meet again someday. We love you special girl and your memory lives on in our hearts forever.

Donna Morgan

Jasmin left us today. She was always very quiet, quite beautiful, she had beautiful grey hair with white boots and a white tummy and white under her neck where she loved to be rubbed. She had such a sweet spirit with her beagle bother, Blue. But she never complained about Sydney, her oldest brother dog, who could be quite yappy at times :) And she seemed to be quite fond of her youngest doggy sister, Shotzie - whom we all welcomed into our family...She loved to share her Tuna with -- you guessed it Blue!!! And she never minded sharing her food with Zoe, her cousin...and she loved her big cousin, Ravin, the mixed Lab. Her favorite toys were the pens and pencils she would pat around and we would find them on the floor when we needed something to write with. We will miss how she would stand up for the longest periods and pat her face like she was fixing her makeup!! It was quite interesting. And our vet must have really loved her because 7 months ago when her heart become weak, he would always take her home with him so he could keep a watchful eye over her progress. Well Dr. Pipes called us this morning and said her heart was just too weak and she died at his house -- in good hands we know! We will miss you Jasmin -- we being, Mom (Beverly) Dad (Jeremy) Steffanie (your human sister) Blue, Sydney, Jasmin, Raven, and Zoe!!! We loved you dearly! You were never any trouble and your spirit will always be with us. Enjoy heaven - it must be quite beautiful! You are in the best hands ever!

Jazzy....Together again with Willow and Noonie.......Wait there for Mummy xx

Iwaniszyn

We lost our beloved Jasmine today. She was too sick to go on, so we decided to euthanize her.
We'd had her since she was 7 months old and she was with us through so much stuff. She was our baby. We'll miss her more than words can say.

James and Victoria J. Chance

My special girl - I can't believe that we have lived without you for almost a month. I feels like a lifetime since I last felt your sweet little head nudging my elbow, or you swiping your paw at me to get my attention. The pain of losing you is excruciating. I never expected to come home that Monday and find you in your favorite spot already gone. You were so healthy. Your vet said you had a stroke, and that you felt no pain. I have to believe that is true. You never knew what it like to go hungry, to be cold, or to feel pain. You were never sick a day in your short little life. Dad and I have cried so much since you left us and Thumper looks all over for you. We hope that you found Ginger up there at Rainbow Bridge. Now don't be snooty, you run and play. We will meet you at the bridge someday. Until then my sweet little puppy girl we will keep you in our hearts. We love you always and forever

Mom and Dad

I never did figure out how Jasmine got that eyeliner so perfectly on her beautiful green eyes. She was my beautiful girl - white and silver tipped tabby - and she knew it. Jasmine could have been the super-model of the feline world, but she had the attitude to match! She was feisty, and those who petted her did so at their own risk, and only when Jasmine was in the mood! I, as her mama, was the only one she truly trusted for affection, and that was very little until the last year of her life, and even more so in the last month of her life. Perhaps she knew something more than I did as she started to purr out loud and settle on the couch next to me in the morning, allowing me to pet that beautiful snow white fur. The final blessing came the night before the horrible decision when she let me hold her, despite the pain of kidney failure and being frightened of the IV and being at the vets. For the first time in her 15 years, Min Doo fell asleep on my shoulder and gave me the blessing every mama craves. It was a long wait for me - I had found Jasmine as a tiny kitten shoved in a wall full of garbage, covered with fleas, crying her heart out. She was named for her fur which was as white as the jasmine I found her near. This little creature was so tiny I had to feed her with a bottle, and from then on I was her mama. What fun it was to watch her copy the other cats to learn to wash and drink milk! I will never forget her sleeping in the fruit bowl on the table, or the huge fern she killed when she decided to make it her bed! So many things I will never forget about my beautiful girl, including the angel who came to visit me during that difficult walk through the pet cemetery once again as I struggled to say goodbye. Jasmine is now with her two brothers and sister at the Rainbow Bridge, and I know when my time comes to cross over, I will be the luckiest mama in the world to have so much love waiting for me. For now, Pooh Doo, be at peace and out of pain while you wait for me - I promise I will be there when God says it's time for us to be together again.

In Memory of Jasmine, our sweet little girl. It's been a month today since you died as I write this. Your Daddy misses you, Jazzie, and so do I. I wish you could have stayed with us a little longer. Booker misses his "Mama". We are glad, though, that where you are now, you no longer have to itch your ears and you no longer have diabetes. You are once again that playful puppy that you were before your allergies got bad. We know you are swimming in heavenly lakes to fetch your frisbee-shaped cloud, and are greeting every angel you meet by walking through their legs so they can scratch your back. Thank you for letting us say goodbye. We will meet you someday on that golden shore.

We have been through so much. In order to help Jasmine live a better life we decided it was time to repair her hip displasia. She wasn't in real pain, but we knew that it was a matter of time before she would be. She experienced a massive amount of bleeding during the surgery and it was feared that she had a clotting disorder. She did recover, but within two weeks I founder her unable to get up one morning. I rushed her to the Vet's where it was determined that she had a lesion on her spleen and it would need to come out. Of course we chose to do the procedure and when she came out of surgery it was like she was a new dog. As a precaution the spleen was sent away for cancer screening and with much relief (at the time) it came back negative. Two weeks later Jasmine started bloating up and acting lethargic. I once again brought her to the Vet's office and it was determined that Jasmine did in fact have cancer and it had moved to her Liver. There was nothing we could do. Jasmine held on for another week. We were able to shower her with affection and great food. STEAK! She was unable to get up on Sunday night and no longer wanted to eat so We took her to be put to sleep on Monday morning. She went very peacefully. We all miss her so much. She was the best family dog anyone could ever ask for. She loved us so much she just couldn't go until we told her that her job was done and that everything would be O.K.

Kenny, Annmarie and Family

More than a pet, a beloved friend, my forever dog. With Love, Your Forever Person, Michelle

I will miss my friend

Jasmine you were my baby. You were always at my side and always kept me company. We went everywhere together and I loved you so much and still do, but it is hard because I miss you so much I think my heart will never heal, the morning that I went to you and found you dead I felt like I would die too and I think part of me did. Just please know that I miss and love you SO much.

love,

Jasmine and her 10 other brothers and sisters weren't meant to be. Their mom was to be put down at the shelter, simply because no one wanted her and she was pregnant and they had no room for her and her future pups. My wife and I decided that we would take her as a foster dog.

Belle, gave birth to 11 healthy pups. The very first to come out of the womb was Jasmine. Jasmine was the smartest puppy in the litter. She was the first to paper train, the first to eat solid food, the first to break out of their confided area no matter where it was, she was the first in everything. We would feed them on the kitchen and she would sit in my lap and bark at her brothers and sisters, she was so bossy and so loving. She would play with Libby (Black Lab/Great Dane mix) and hold her own.

The day came when it was time to put her up for adoption. My wife did not want to but I insisted, she was constantly getting out of where ever we would put her, I was so afraid that she would get hurt. So a young women saw her and fell in love with her, my wife and I spent a lot of time with her telling her that Jasmine needs a lot of attention. She was fasts and smart. We kissed her goodbye and she went to her new home.

We'd call and make sure that she got her shots and that she was spayed. Everything seemed fine. On Friday 15 February we got a call that Jasmine had gotten out of her yard and got hit by a car and killed.

Jasmine, we miss you and love you. We adopted your twin Elsa and your mom. Our heart is broken, if we had known you would have never gone.

I know that you are playing with Cassie at the Rainbow Bridge, she will take good care of you.

Love Always

Your foster Mom and Dad

Dear Jasmine,
You were such a good little furball. Dad misses watching you run free in the snow. Please wait for me up there in heaven. Love,

Jackie & Dad

In memory of my first feline friend and companion who will always hold a special place in my heart.

Karin Tkacz

Jasmine, my silly kitty. Thank you for making me laugh. I will always love you!

Leila Safavi

Jasmine was an exceptionally beautiful, petite, feminine little cat. She was one of those "one person cats" who bonded with my late husband, Jerry, the moment they met in 1985, and they were inseparable from then on. Until his death (in June 2001) Jasmine was the picture of health - lively, agile, alert, and not a gray hair - everyone thought she was a kitten. Since losing Jerry, Jasmine has been grieving, and her health has been declining, in spite of anything I could do to try to comfort her. Even so, I had no idea she was anywhere near close to death until my male cat, Mahdi, let out a mournful wail and led me to her lifeless body this morning. She has reunited with her beloved Jerry at the Rainbow Bridge, and I know they are both at peace.

Dear Jasmine,
You were the best friend anyone could ask for. Since the first day our eyes met at the Humane Society, I knew you were meant to be a part of this family. I think you knew too, by the way you were standing on your head and playing a rhythm in perfect time with your tail on the side of the metal cage. I will never forget that moment, it was the moment that I met one of my best friends in this world.

Now that you are gone from this earth, you are still alive in our hearts. Everyday I think of something that you have taught me. You gave love and friendship and never let your aches and pains show. You came from abuse yet you only gave love. You were strong and brave yet I have never known a kinder or gentler soul. Thank you for the 7 1/2 years of happiness and laughter you gave to our family and for all of the love and acceptance that you showed to those that were less than kind at times. For the record, Boots and Haley miss you most of all and Boots howls to you out the window at night. Haley has decided that you have become an Angel and live in heaven now. She told us that you have golden wings and that you fly by her window at night to check on her. I think she must be right, I hope you like all of the pictures she has been drawing for you.

I miss many things about you. Your kisses, tail wags, shared dinners, trips to the beach, and circus tricks that you knew before you came to us. I still smile when I think of you dancing and waving bye-bye. I am so sorry that they couldn't find out what was wrong with you until after you were gone. I wish we could have saved you and had more time with you, sometimes life isn't fair. I want you to know that I still miss you and I always will. You will forever live in all of our hearts.

Chris, Diana, Haley and Boots

I found Jason on Friday the 13th when someone threw him from the back of a van on the freeway. He was just a pup.
Jason was more than a dog, he was my friend. He had a heart attack in his sleep. He died while laying on the bed next to my feet. Jason was loyal, loving & just plain fun. Jason loved to chase squirrels and play with the garden hose.
We miss him greatly.

Stacy & Steve Shellhammer

She was my attitude cat.

Jasper was a real trooper and our best friend. he'll be in our hearts forever and one day we will be reunited!

Fran, Lee & Doug

My little buddy, Jasper, passed away today due to complications from FLUTD. Even though he was very sick last night and we knew his time was near, Jasper hung on until this morning. It was as if he just wanted to see one more sunny morning, and see me one last time...or as if he wanted to make sure I could keep the promise I made him last night: that I wouldn't let him die alone. As his time drew closer, he stared deep into my eyes with a look of pure comfort and peacefulness. He turned his eyes and looked outside as he took his last little breath. I am eternally grateful that he wasn't scared or in pain, and that as the time came for him to pass, I could sit next to him and pet him as he always loved for me to do.

Suzy James

Jasper, my doggy soulmate, I love you more than any words can convey. I'm sorry you had to leave so soon... but I know you were tired and ready to leave this Earth. I will always cherish the time we had.. I miss you terribly.

Wait for me at The Bridge... one day we'll meet again.

Kimberly McDonald

I had the good fortune to own Jasper for 1 year and 3 mos. before he passed away. He was an Australian terrier that an older couple had give up because they entered into a Nursing/Retirement home. The people had Jasper for 12 years.
He was a friend and champion to us both for a short time.
But I will always remember the joy and friendship along with champion ship we shared. I will miss you old friend, but someday we will meet by the Rainbow Bridge once more..
Thank you for letting me be your human Friend for the last years of your short lived life...
Take care dear friend.

Jasper came to us from a Cat Charity and filled our lives with love, tenderness and companionships, he was a huge comfort to me when my partner was ill and through difficult times. He was the type of cat you could have a conversation with and he snuggled in front of the telly with me every night and scolded me when I was late home because he missed me. My life is in pieces at the moment and I feel so terribly sad and lonely without him. I don't feel that I will ever get over him and it keeps hitting me that he is gone. He was our special friend and I have been lighting a candle every night in an attempt to feel that I am doing something and hope he knows how deeply I miss him, he was very special and I'm glad I was there when he went to sleep so I could tell him how much I loved him, what he meant to us. His loving tired eyes at that moment will never be far from my mind as we said goodbye.

Ann Cobley

My special friend for 10 1/2 years, loved everyone and everything. I will miss you. Love - Tom

Jasper left us in a tragic accident while chasing a squirrel. She ran into the swamp and had a seizure while in the water. I couldn't find her for over two hours.

She was always there for us, and was like a glue that bonded our family together.

She was so intelligent, and so in tune to us. The love she gave filled our hearts so full that the space left by her passing is vast and seems unending.

Jasper, we love you and miss you terribly. You are everywhere in our house and our hearts. You are my perfect, precious little girl.

I have never been able to express my true feelings to another. Then Java was giving to me by my sister. I instantly loved him. He was everything to me. I had never truly had a best friend. Java was my best friend and my only friend. We went everywhere together. I was so truly blessed to be allowed the joy of sharing your love. Java was so amazing in everything that he did. The way he run around the house as if he were in the Indy 500. I loved watching him lay in the sun. He is an LA dog, he has to have a tan! I love to hear the noises that he makes when he yawns. Most of all I just miss him. I miss him curling up next to me when I am watching a movie. I miss that part of my heart that was taken when he died. I was so happy with him. I don't know why he was taken away so young from me. I just want to say to Java, "Thank you for loving me as much as I love you. I will miss you everyday until I get to see you by the bridge. Please don't forget me". xoxo, I love you, Tammie

Jaws came into our lives barely 6 weeks old. He became an immediate son. During his time on the earth, he helped us through many of life's hardships, always there for a hug or a kiss, ever eager to play or go for a ride. Jaws was diagnosed with Lyme disease which was quickly followed by kidney problems. After over a week of I/V Therapy, his doctor had no other treatments to try, nor did any of the animal specialists. Jaws crossed to the Rainbow Bridge on 26 July, 2002.

We love you boy.

My dear little jumpin' Jaz, You gave so much joy to me in our time together. I'm lost without you, my constant shadow. Please watch over Cadie, because just as I am, she too is very lost without you. We miss you, sweetie. You were so precious and loving. Your Mom & Sister

Jazmine,
Jazmine and her brother baskerville(died feb17,01) were the light of my life for so many years. Jazmine watched over me (us) and kept us safe after her brother was called away. After a rocky start she welcomed Barney into our home and the two became friends. I think he helped her live longer and happier because she opened her big heart to him. She was a loving friend and companion and I will look forward to seeing Jazmine and her brother again when my time comes. I hope she knows I did everything I could to make her life happier and safer - including the awful day of may 29, 2002 when I had to end her suffering. Your daddy misses and loves you Jazzy. Mommy, Barney and Buster miss you too, please watch over us as you always did. A day will never go by that I don't think of you. See you again.......love Daddy

My Jazmyn was my sunshine we would swim together play catch together she was my shadow wherever I went she would go I want her to know how much I love her and I miss her so bad she would love to go for rides ...Jazmyn I love you and I always will.
I keep looking out that door to see if you are out there Jazmyn and your not its going to take me a long time to recover I know you are in heaven playing with the other dogs and you have plenty of food and water and milk bones bill always gave to you we miss you so much your little face will never clear my mind......
I love you
Mommy, Daddy, Bill ,Judy and Family.

Jazz was my special grandpuppy. She had more love of life and personality than any dog I've ever known. I've cried more for her and my daughter than I did for my own mother & father. I know that now she will be in a place where she can catch all the squirrels she wants. I hope she'll be there when I get there, even before her mistress, and we can go for a run in the park while waiting.

James Carter

Our Dearest Jazz,

How do we go on without you? You were such a wonderful part of our lives for 11 years. We miss you very much.

It was more than just fate that brought us together. You were born in California and then moved to Cape Cod. Then we adopted you through PAWS in Pennsylvania. We welcomed you at the airport with open arms. You were our new "baby" and we thank God for that.

We were happy that you accepted Fred, our cat, as your brother. You were such a comfort to us after his passing (12/15/01). You were there by the side of whomever was sick, injured, or upset. Somehow you always knew how to help make it better again.

Since we were family, we were inseparable. Each time we needed to move to a new place, we made sure it was possible for our furkids to stay with us.

We called you the traveling dog. Whenever you saw the suitcases come out, you knew that yours was packed and ready to go. Family and friends were always happy to see you.

Thank you for the many joyful memories that we will all treasure. We love you so much. We look forward with happy hearts to our reunion at the Rainbow Bridge.

Love, Gloria & Rich

I will always remember how he wagged his tail when I came home from school every day the way he loved to jump in the leaves in fall or play in the snow in the winter I love you jazz I love you Jazzey boy and I always will

Justin

Jazzee was my baby. The most wonderful dog anyone could hope for. She was a 110lb lap dog. Her aim in life was to please those she loved and boy did she ever. My heart will always have any empty space now that she is gone but I know she is in a place free from pain. She deserved the best in life and the best in the after life. I'm so sad my son will never know her but I'm glad she was able to be around until my son came to me. I love you Jazzee and I will forever miss you.

Danielle

My beloved Jazzie, who greeted me in the morning and when I came home from work. Will miss his dear face and love always. I will always love you, Jazz.Your loving mommy, Michelle

I will truly miss my Special Friend.

Rita Golson

J.C., you were such a special guy. You learned to love and trust us, and we learned how to deserve it. I hope you're happy now, exploring the great outdoors that you yearned for. Life won't be the same without you trying to sneak outside or steal our dinner. Max is waiting, and when your other kitty friends join you I'm sure you will greet them with the kindness you always showed them here. You left a big hole in our hearts, but it will be filled again when our time comes and we see you there at the bridge.

Pam and Mike

With a too big heart, I will light a candle for you

Kelly

JD left us suddenly and tragically on Friday, July 5th, 2002. After having battled severe epilepsy for 2 1/2 years, he was hit by a train while out on a walk with his daddy. He should have died instantly, but instead, my brave little boy waited for his daddy to come back and get him with the car. He died in his daddy's arms, a smile on his beautiful furry face and pure love and trust in his eyes.

He is buried in our backyard beneath our lilac bushes, and tomorrow, we will plant a white rose bush on his grave in his honor, because his love for us was so pure and innocent and unconditional. Our lives will never be the same without him. He was our smilin', talkin' dog, and we only wish we could have kept him with us longer.

Farewell, little guy. We will love you forever, and will see you at the Bridge one day.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Mark, Andy, Kate, German Shepherd Best Buddy Crogan, and your very own three kitties, Cleo, Sam, and Alex

We have enjoyed 3.5 years of your love and friendship.

Petra Arnott

Mama cat Jeanie was my very first cat. She moved in with my family when I was four years old. Mama Jeanie had many litters of kittens, and I fell in love with all of them. My parents made sure that the kittens all went to good homes when they were four or five weeks old. If I could have I would have kept all of her beautiful babies. I was nine years old when mama Jeanie was hit by a car. Her last litter of kitties were only four days old, when she got hit. She lived a few days, but hemoraged and died in the middle of the night while she was at the vets. The vet did not think that the kittens could live, but we proved him wrong. We fed the kitties several times a day using little doll bottles. We kept the kitten that looked the most like their mama. I named him Geanie, after his mama. He grew up to be a very large and loving cat. He never bit or scratched anyone. He adopted the next door neighbor's kitten Midnight, and they grew into best friends, when big Geanie was around ten years old, he adopted a stray white homeless kitten, who we named Cisco. They were quite a team! Geanie lived to be 17 yo. and we still miss him to this day.

Fran

I carry on without you because I must....the good days are more frequent now. I think of you every day and I'll always love you more than I can say. You were that one extra special dog that everyone is entitled to in their life.....you defined "unconditional" love. You thought your purpose in life was to love and watch over me....you did that so well. You were the BEST!!

Lindsey Poston

Jedadiah
Nine months old, you went in for a routine neuter. And you died from anesthesia reaction. You were special, coming to me only one hour after the Mr Mom, JR , Samy boy of the tribe died. You were six weeks old and filled a void in my heart. I guess the reason why I am having such a hard time getting through this is that I did not get to say Goodby. There have been many losses here with the rescue mission of the Tribe, all abused, abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens, but I always had the opportunity to say Goodby before. I hope you hear this heartfelt message. Goodby my little guy. The Human Mom

Jeepy, we love you. Cleo is waiting to show you the ropes, and the two of you can keep Bianca on her toes.
Bless the three of you, and thank you for the gift of your love.

Billy & Tom

He was an angel sent from God.

She was a great dog, full of life, vigor and love. Killed too early by the cruel fate of a tractor. I just hope that there's plenty of water wherever she goes. She loved the water as we loved her. We all miss you, Jenna, and will never forget you.

Jenns was a wonderful, sweet, talkative little soul! She is dearly missed. She gave me 10 wonderful years of love. Now she waits for me at the Rainbow Bridge. My heart is breaking as I look around and do not see her.

Gayle Peterson

You had a good day. I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you. I will miss you very much.

Khurram Sarbuland

Jenny belonged to my boyfriend, David Camp, who passed away in 1993. I took her when he died. She was a Snowshoe cat and the sweetest cat I have ever known. We quickly grew very close and she was became very attached to me and was my best friend for the past nine years. She was a very smart cat. One of the cutest things she would do was when she would get in bed with me at night, if I didn't wake up to let her under the covers, she would real lightly touch her little pink nose on my eyelids to make me open my eyes so I would wake up and let her under the covers. Unfortunately, She developed a kidney disease. I learned how to give her fluid shots. She ate a special food for 2 years, even though it wasn't her favorite.
She passed away 2 weeks ago on October 18, 2002. I never thought I would be that close to an animal. I miss her and will always love her.

Rosemary Needham

Jenny loved us unconditionally. She was our little girl and gave so much love in her lifetime to anyone who needed some love. She understood so much. Our grief is indescribable. We miss her presence. A white dove landed in our driveway yesterday and waited until we left to fly to the top of the house. We had never seen the dove around her before. Jenny was all white in color and had the sweetest face anyone could imagine. She was cremated and she will be mixed with our ashes and we will spend eternity together. Janny's Mommy and Daddy

Tom and Patty Maxwell

Who are these little fur people who come into our lives, don't live as long as us, and take our hearts with them?! My Jenny has my heart. I gave it to her.

I brought you and your mate, Kellian, home as a pair, and never realized what fun was in store for me, as a mouse breeder. You and Kellian bore offspring, and those babies produced offspring of their own. You weren't as receptive as your mate was, but you were loved just the same. When you developed the tumor on your back leg, we didn't think you had much longer to live, but you kept on going until you couldn't go on any more. You touched our lives so much in such a short time, for such a small creature, and, like Kellian, you are missed. Go with Apollo Smintheus, little one, and keep Kellian company. Goddess bless, little one, on your new journey.

Sadly missed by Dave, Kat, and the Zoo

Dear Weat Weat, My Darling little baby, Oh how I miss your sweet precious face!! You weren't here for very long, but during the time that you were, you really burrowed yourself deep within my heart. You were the smallest of eight born on Christmas day. What a happy Christmas it was. I watched you all being born, I counted seven, the next day I checked on you all and there was eight, you were one of the smallest. For some reason you didn't get the nutrition that you needed from your mother, we had to dropper feed all of you for a week several times a day, I was determined not to let any of you perish. We even bathed you and kept you clean as your mother did not have her instincts yet. She had had several other litters before yours, I was told she let them all die. So, I decided that I was going to help her to keep you, even if it meant getting up to feed you all formula at different times of the night. I guess this formed a special bond between us, she started feeding your brothers and sisters, but you were always left out and hungry, so I took you under my wing and babied you constantly, you slept in a box near my bed with your heating pad. I held you for hours. You nuzzled yourself in my sweater above my heart and slept, you always crawled up to that spot all by yourself, then sometimes you would sit on my shoulder as if you were a bird, you were so adorable! No wonder I fell in love with you! You started to grow and get very fluffy. I looked at your teeth and you had a very large underbite, plus your top teeth were not growing down, but towards the left side at a sharp angle, no wonder you couldn't suckle your mother! So, I decided that it would be bottle feeding until you managed to eat regular food. You were doing so well, Dad Bun Mike was saying that you were getting to be fat, you looked like a furry snow ball! I took you on a trip with me because I wanted to make sure you got the best care, well, after a couple of days everything was going perfectly, I put you to bed in your little box after your evening meal, the next morning at 5:30 I took you out to feed you again, you were very weak and were covered with diarrhea, I was thinking, oh, it must be that tiny piece of candy you found on my sweater and you munched it down, maybe too much sugar, plus I gave you a teeny taste of cotton candy, you loved it, anyway I thought, gee, I guess I had better not give him sugar again. Well you wouldn't drink much of your formula, so I put you back to bed for awhile and kept checking on you, you were getting much worse! I was getting very worried and started to pray. I couldn't imagine that such a small amount of sugar could do that to you, I felt terribly guilty as you had very bad diarrhea. I held you and prayed and prayed and prayed. We were out of town away from your vet so I was in a situation where I couldn't do a thing but pray. I tried to give you water and after hours of desperate prayer and soul wrenching tears, I held you and told you how very much you were loved, I saw that you were laboring in your breathing, I knew you were going to cross the bridge at any time as you were starting to make whimpering noises and tensing your body straight out. I laid you on my Bible, then I said, you are so much more than a PeaWea, that is the name we gave you soon after you were born, or Smidgen, what Arleigh called you, I said, your name is Jeremy, that is a strong name. I always called you Weat Weat!! As in your Sweet Sweet!! You had such a strong will to survive as long as you did, you really tried, I could see how much you really wanted to live since you were born. After several hours of crying and begging God to heal you, I pleaded to him, (I was very upset that you were struggling to breathe and you were having seizures, how horrible it was to watch you suffer, I was very angry with God for letting you suffer and I told him,) if you are going to take him then take him right now!! As soon as I said it, I turned around, walked over to the bed and looked at your little self, I knew instantly that your soul had left your body, your eyes, they were now empty. He took you. And I fell down crying. I held you and kissed you goodbye, I told you that you would always be in my heart and if you wanted to stay with me some how, you could, but you had brothers at the bridge waiting for you, Bun Wun, Chester, and Norman. Your little body is buried outside between two beautiful rose bushes. You were small enough to be buried in a box the size of a checkbook box. I want you to know how much I love you and miss you, I will never forget your loving soul and determination to live. God loved you so much more and wanted you there with Him, so I have to live with that. I can't wait for the day that we will be together again. Give my love to your bun brothers.

PS, I went in to see the vet and told her what had happened, I told her about the tiny piece of cotton candy I gave you, I asked her if that could have caused it, she said no, that sometimes baby rabbits get this kind of a stomach virus that runs through their systems and takes their lives all of a sudden. I thought you were doing so well, I even thought maybe some how you found something on the floor of the motel we were staying, well I will never really know, I am so sorry baby that you suffered the way you did, especially if I might have had something to do with it.

Love forever and always, BunMommy.

Jerry, you were my soul mate and I miss you so much. May we meet again over the Rainbow Bridge.

S.M. Prokes

I miss you Jerry, holding you, seeing you cuddle up in your little bed, looking for you each morning and every night. You will always be loved and missed.

Love,
Mom

My boy died of a chest tumor that began hemmoraging. It happened very quickly (within two weeks of his starting to act ill), but I did have time to say goodbye. The hardest decision I ever made and the last act of love I could perform for him was to have him put to sleep while I was holding him and talking him through it. He was the most beautiful, intelligent, sweet, funny creature I have ever been blessed to share my life with. God spent extra time on him. He was my best buddy and the love of my life.

Nancy Streeter

You're the most sweet and gentle creature I've ever had the pleasure to have known and I'll love you forever.

Mary Fran

Jerry was our little boy for over five years. He suddenly died without warning shortly before midnight on May 16, 2002. He was with us during the hardest as well as the happiest of times. He never stopped loving us. We woke up every morning to see his beautiful face and larger than life personality. We would go to sleep knowing that he was going to be there in the morning giving us his unconditional love. We will miss him so much. The pain of his sudden loss is very hard to handle right now. But the joy that he brought us every day of his life will always be cherished and never forgotten.

Bill and Hana Danzi

Jerry is the most special cat -- everyone that met him commented on his sweet, gentle and loving personality. We all thought of him as one hundred percent sweetness and love. I miss him so much, he'll always be in my heart.

Susan Casella

Jerry, we got you and your brother when you were found in an abandon house. We brought you both home when you were so tiny. You once were the biggest cat we had, until you got diabetes. We love and miss you so much. You were always there at suppertime standing on the floor with your paws on the edge of the table, barely able to see over it. You had a cute white dot on the end of your nose and had such bright eyes. Oh, how we are going to miss you. You were so special. We lost Mittens in November and Lady just last month. You are with them now playing peacefully, free from pain. Until we are all together again remember that we love so much.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

A true companion to the end, teaching me the need for patience and the importance of learning to be less selfish.

Jesse

A heart bigger than you can conceive.
A wagging tail and gleam in his eye.
A shy little swagger in his walk.
An excitement in him that made you smile.
A love of people and playful ways.
So kind and wise was he.

So full of life and compassion.
A friend through good times and bad.
A true companion from beginning to end.
He lived life to its fullest as best he could.
And touched every heart he met.

He is at peace now and free from our world.
We've not known love like his before.
He will be truly missed.

This was our Boy... Our Jesse Boy.
And he will live in our hearts forever.

"I can search the whole world over until my life is through, but I know I'll never find another you."

Lee Stanley

Jesse spent 8 years with us from pup to cantankerous old cuss. He was a good companion and still think of him often. I know he is in heaven helping out in anyway he can.

Jeff Hyler

You were so beautiful, gentle and loving. I miss coming home and seeing your wagging tail and happy grin. You were a fighter, beating the old enemy cancer twice before but this time it won. You will never be forgotten

Donna C

To a most faithful, loving companion. My best friend. You were with me during the most painful time in my life. Always at my side and so beautiful. I love you Jesse and I miss you so much. Anne (Mamma)

It is six years today you moved to the bridge. I call to you sometimes. I still miss you but know you are in a better place. I learned many things from you in our 16 yrs together, including the fact that you did not seem to fear death. Even though I have new companions they know who you are and sometimes I think you were there helping with their training. You were beautiful and bright. The name Jesse, means a gift from G-d. You were the best gift. Six years later you are not forgotten. You will always have a special place in my heart that time can't fade. I miss you.

D.E.

Dear Jesse,

What a wonderful kitten you were. Only two weeks older than your baby brother and you were taken away from all who loved you. I just had to do something even more than I've already done.

Thanks for bringing new meaning into all of our lives and you did touch a lot of people.

I can't wait until I can see your sweet loving face again. Thanks for being the "man" of this cat household.

We all love you little Jesse.

Love, Jordan, Mom, Randy, Cheryl, Lucky and Boxer Kato

The most cuddly, head-licking, chest-sleeping, lap sitting kitty I have ever seen. You were loved from the moment you were ours and you will be loved to the end of time and beyond. Have fun learning to fly Jesse-boo. Someday we'll race you between the stars with your brother Edgar.

Don and Pat

In memory of "Jesse" Hailey, canine, Pomeranian, age unknown, passed 12/24/02.

Written by his mommy, Karen Hailey, on 12/27/02.

Dear Jesse,

You could hide so well,
within the stuffed teddy bears,
Your looked just like them,
Minus the dog created holes and tears.

You had the biggest eyes I'd ever seen,
with one look you'd melt my heart,
Big, brown, and full of love,
Something I'll never forget now that we're apart.

Seven pounds of pure spunk,
on the days you felt fine,
Those days were more often than not,
and thankfully, you had three happy years of time.

I promised you a life of luxury,
when I removed you from pain,
You deserved the best in your remaining years,
and I did my best until your time came.

I think you finally felt safe,
by showing that you trusted me,
You knew that you had a permanent Mommy,
who would love you for eternity.

I only have one regret,
and it is that I wasn't here,
when your time finally came,
and my heart aches to imagine your fear.

I wish I could have held you,
and relieved any of fear,
let you know that I loved you,
and that Mommy was here.

I know that you are still with me,
You have a permanent place in my heart,
One day I'll see you again,
and we will never again part.

I know you're in a good place,
Free of suffering and happy too,
Good-bye my sweet baby "Little,"
And remember "Jesse," Mommy loves you.

Jessica was a demanding, but affectionate little girl. Whether drinking water from her own glass or asking to be put on your shoulder, she was in charge. Diagnosed with CRF 3 years ago, she endured twice weekly visit to the vet for subcutaneous fluids. Even though her kidneys finally gave out, Jessica let us know that she was still a fighter, but was happy to join her house mate, Gabriel, who passed away a week earlier. We will miss her greatly, as she taught us what "not giving up" is really all about.

Chuck & Pat Gatto

To Jessie Jones....It won't be the same when I come to see your Momma next time. You won't be there to dance for your bones! That's how I will forever have you in my mind and heart...that shy, wiggley, pretty little girl dancing and prancing for her treats. Thank you for giving my sister all your love for all these years...for putting up with the kit-tens, and for helping Gramma Squatty when she got so old and sick. I am sure she was there at the Bridge waiting for you. We know that you will watch over us until we all meet again. You were very, very, much loved, sweet gentle soul, and will be very, very, much missed.
Aunt Patty xxoo

*Soul Free Cat*

She was not that body,
Though the soft fur will be missed.

She was the earnest expression in those lamp-bright eyes,
The thunderous purr,
The pointed reminder in a half-sheathed claw,
The giddy enthusiasm when being teased,
The insistent nuzzle when she needed to be petted,
The Mighty Huntress on the wrong side of the screen door,
The meowed "Thank You!" at feeding time,
The fur-cover shadow wherever I went,
The sound of her presence.

And I have heard her soft footfalls in the night.

She isn't really gone.

6 August, 2002

Jessie, you were the kindest, warmest, friendliest pet anyone could ever have. We know that you are now free of pain, and for this we are happy, but we do miss you terribly, and we will never forget you.

Lorne & Cindymarie Mack

Sweet Jessie, We have been without you in our lives for a year now. We think of you every day and miss you as much as we did last year. You will never be out of our thoughts or our hearts. Love you always, Karen, Kayla, and Lesley

For almost 16 years God Blessed me with a precious little angel that I love, adore and miss everyday.
I look forward to the day we will be together again at the rainbow bridge.....until then she will live in my heart always.

Tressie

To my baby, friend, confidant... I love you, rest happy.

Cynthia McPherson

Jessie was a sweet bunny and will be missed very much by her family!

Good bye sweet bun!

I love you always

Liza

Peaceful sleep comes to a dear, beloved heart.
Quietly, we try to understand,
The time has come to part.
Tenderly, the love shines on,
A never-ending light.
Gratefully, we feel its warmth and say...
Sweet dreams, Miss Jessie, and good-night.

Our dearest friend lost her fight against cancer...Alimentary and Multicentric Lymphosarcoma. She was a "throw-away" puppy we met at the animal shelter. It was love at first site as Jessie captured our hearts the moment we saw her. She was our ever faithful companion...part of our souls...and the light of our lives. She took part of us with her to the Rainbow Bridge. Our hearts are broken.

Her Family.....Dan, Carly, and David

Jessie, was a beautiful, loyal and dear friend. I loved her and I will miss her forever.

Stephanie

Last night our cat, Jessie, succumbed to the ravages of FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). She was 7 years and 8 months old.

She fought valiantly for the last 4 months, but ultimately lost the battle.

She was euthanized last night to save her from suffering anymore from this fatal, incurable disease.

Farewell old friend....you will be dearly missed.

Brad Clarke

Jessie, loyal companion through my days of recovery from cancer. One of a kind friend. Years of fun and enjoyment. I am so glad you chose me to be your master. Words just don't seem to be enough to describe my love for you.

Valrie Blanchard

I lost my "Little Redhead" girl Saturday. She was very ill, Jessie was the love of my life and I will always know she came into my life sent from up above. She was my daughters buddy and protector. She was my best friend and will be remembered forever. I love her and miss her more than anyone will ever know. She came into my life almost 10 years to the day as a 6 week old baby girl. Not enough time for this little peanut. I would have given her my last breath or a piece of my life to have had her with us longer. She had an exceptional life with us, but was just to tired to go on. I love you "Jessie" and you will always be in our hearts and minds. I will honor your remembrance my telling Makenzie about you and how you loved her from the first day we knew Jessie would be given a sister. I will teach her to touch her heart and always know thats where you will be. Good-bye mama's girl sleep peaceful angel. xoxoxoxoxoxox Mama

Jessy, my baby girl, oh God I miss you so much. I try not to think of you too much cuz it hurts so, but I'm so afraid that somehow I might forget you. I live each day counting on being able to see you when I leave this earth.. and now I know you're at Rainbow Bridge waiting for your Mama to come get you. I will Love you always & forever, Mama

Died peacefully at the vet's after a valiant struggle with renal failure. She will be remembered with nothing but love and wonder as she was the best and brightest dog to ever grace my life. She was responsible for many hours of entertainment and whimsy and so many good times. Her death leaves me speechless with grief and so much sadness. Hope to see you at the bridge someday. You are with me always...love Ann.

Doggie, you were the brother we never had, the shoulder we could cry on, the world's biggest lap dog.

Thank you for staying with us for 13 years, our lives would have been so empty without you.

Well Big Fella, I can imagine you up there running around and waiting until we get up there to throw your ring for you.

Good bye my friend, till we meet again.

Love Trace

We miss our little buddy, Jet, and want him to remember how much he is loved each day. Will see you again one day , Over the Rainbow. "You are my sunshine!"
We Love You,
Mom, Dad and your Puppy Friends

Thank you for being a lovely, faithful companion. We miss you dearly. Hope to see you at the Rainbow Bridge. Until then you are in our hearts always.

Jette....She was my best friend, my protector, my light in the darkness. She helped me through some of the worse trials of my life, the death of my parents , the death of 24 yr. my marriage and my battle with breast cancer. She saved my life from being a sea of darkness with her constantly wagging tail, sweet personality, and loving ways. She was "the puppy who wagged it's tail most" in her litter and it wagged until the very end when she died of liver cancer. I will always be indebted to her for giving me her love for 12 wonderful years. My heart will have an empty space waiting to be refilled when she and I are reunited one day.

Jewels a jewel in Grandma and Grandpas life forever

Gone are the days you could jump the fence and make me chase you through the streets,
Gone are the days I had you by my side looking up so adoringly and sweet,
Gone are the days of painful injections and sightlessness forever dark,
These days may you see angels, sweet Jezebelle, every time you bark!
We miss you belle and you'll be in our hearts forever!
Love Mom and Dad!

J-furs, pronounced Jay furs... was our beautiful tortie cat, she was my baby. She was a talker, a supervisor, a purr machine and runner and leaper extraordinaire. She will be missed by me and her Dramaw so very much, until the day we meet again at Rainbow Bridge.

Connie Sunderland

Hey Jezza boy. You survived so much and never failed me. I feel so guilty because as you grew older there were always more and more babies who I gave my attention too. You never, ever made a fuss and put up with so much from Grimalkin and particularly from The Badger.
I am not and never will be worthy of your love. We had 18 years together and I took you for granted that you'd always be there.
You were so ill and I should have taken you to the Vets a lot sooner, but just couldn't face it without you.
J'herrin I'm so very sorry that I didn't give to you what you gave to me.
Thank you so much for spending your last night in my arms.
Please forgive me.
Love always Mummy

Jibberton,
Want to go swimming? Thanks for being patience with me and I love you....

XOXOXO Mama

Jiggs, my perpetual puppy, my silly little clown. How you are missed! xoxoxoxo

You and I were meant to be,
a relationship no one else could see;
a friendship, unique to you and me,
and for eighteen years, we lived happily.

For eighteen years, your love never faltered,
like a wild horse, never bridled or haltered;
you were always there, when my eyes watered,
and dried my tears, you were never bothered.

Then, tragedy struck, on a cold November night
we all knew it, you had lost your fight;
in your eyes, there was no life; no light
only a void, and I knew through that sight,
That you were gone; your spirit had taken flight.

It will take time to get over your leaving
and let my heart over you stop bleeding;
sometimes, to sleep I go grieving,
my emotions fragile and heaving.

You, my eyes keep seeing,
but not believing.

Though you're gone,
your memory lives on;
Forever.

This story starts back in 1994 when my cat Jiggy died at the age of 21. I was devastated and decided he could not be replaced. One night about two weeks after losing him I had a knock at the door. It was my sister and her daughter Rebecca. They thrust this little tiny siamese kitten in my face. They were so excited. I just looked at it and said I didn't want it. I just could not imagine this kitten replacing my beloved Jiggy.
The next day I was talking to my mother and she told me how my sister had driven 125 miles and spent a lot of money on this kitten. I felt so bad I called her up and asked if I could still have it. I went to get him that night. I still didn't really want him, but it was such a thoughtful thing for my sister to do.
Nate was such a baby. How could I not love him? You could not put him down for a minute. If you did he would just climb up your leg. He needed to be with someone all the time. My husband had never really been close to my cat Jiggy, but Nate was such a baby I think he loved him from the first day. My husband and I were not able to have any children so Nate became our little boy. On December 21 I left home to do some Christmas shopping. I was gone about 5 hours. When I got home I noticed Nate's box he liked to sleep in was knocked over and a plant that was sitting on the floor was also laying on it's side. I became frightened and called for Nate.This horrible cry came from the basement. I found him laying on the floor. I could tell something was very wrong. I picked him up and realized he could not move his back legs. I rushed him to the vet. He thought he had suffered an injury to his spinal cord, and gave him an anti inflammatory shot. We took him back the next day and he thought he seemed a little better. I slept on the floor with him and he didn't have a very good night. Sunday morning he was even worse, so we took him to an emergency clinic. They did more x-rays. Then it was determined Nate had a heart problem that had caused a blood clot to lodge in the artery to his back legs. They were going to try and dissolve it, but he died before they could try. I hope that any one out there that thinks you can't love another pet after losing one will read this. I loved my cat of 21 years, but I loved my Nate of 7 years just as much. I read that a cat is your homes visible soul. We are now looking for a new soul for our home. We love you Naddie Mommie and Daddy.

Jill was the best dog ever at home and in the field. You will be with us forever. Go high on the mountain girl and meet us at the Rainbow Bridge.

Ruthann and John Stocks

Jilly Bean passed on on April 22, 2002. It was a car accident. She was only eight months old. I loved her. I miss her a lot. I think her brother misses her too...

Heather Thompson

My heart is shattered. I miss you so much already and you haven't been gone 24 hours yet. You were my buddy and my shoulder to cry on. We had such a bond, a bond like no other. Angels are watching over you now until I come to get you. Please do not be afraid and wonder where "mumma" is...you have a piece of my heart to be with you always. This hole in my heart will remain empty until we are reunited again. We will be able to see each other in my dreams.

Forever in my heart
Kyleen

My dear baby Jimi,

I never thought I would lose you so close to your brother Sammy. Just three months and both my babies are gone. My life will never be the same without you two to brighten it.

I don't know that I will ever be able to forgive myself for your passing while I was out of town. I hope you know that I would have wanted to hold you...and I still do.

You were my sweetness at the end of the day and my constant shadow. I can only hope that the love I gave you could be even half as beautiful as the love you gave me.

I will miss you till the end of my days when we meet once more in the Summerland.

I love you.

Mama

Jimmy a very special friend that will never be forgotten. Thank You for the time you were with us. May you be FREE!!

Cindy

Jimmo,

thank you friend for all the joy you gave us, for your funny walk, your happy howls, for keeping Mollie, Gigi and Princess always safe

Look around for Spock, remember that he sometimes likes to start trouble, give him a kiss for all of us

See you soon good buddy!

Luis Contreras and The Girls

Jimmy:
You were my special boy and always will be. On 2/25/02 a part of me died too. The decision to send you onto the rainbow bridge was the hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life. We dealt with all your medical problems over the last 10 years and you handled everything that was thrown at you, but I could no longer stand to watch you go through yet another ordeal, so with all the love I had for you, I let you go. Please understand and I will miss you, my best friend, until I can meet you at the rainbow bridge. Love always, mommy

I'll miss you forever.

Lisa Rieger

Hi Jimmy,
I miss you.
I'll see you soon lil' cutie!
Love,
Mary

Jingles,

Today would've marked your 12th birthday and I must say I am very sad today. I know it's only been two months since we laid you to rest and put you out of your misery, but I miss you terribly. I miss your presence in the house and all your grunting noises you used to make. I sometimes think you are there at times because I can hear you and so could Daddy. The girls truly miss you and said we have to light a candle tonight for your birthday. Daddy made a beautiful memorial for you in the backyard and we thought we'd light a candle out there for your birthday. You are always on our minds and will always be in our memories. You brought us so much love and fun that you could never be forgotten. You can never be replaced because you were so special and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Until we meet again, Happy Birthday buddy....I miss you!!

Mommy Camille

Jinxy was found in a cardboard box with her brothers and sisters on the side of the road. My husband found homes for the others and brought Jinx home to live with us and our 2 other cats. Jinx' passing was unexpected. She was quite healthy all of life. A few days before her passing she began acting strangely. We were shocked with the diagnosis of cancer and let her go so she would not suffer. We miss her.

Irene

My wonderful furfriend, Mom will miss you more than any words can express. You were and are my teacher, my friend and the best furry baby. Thank you for the years you shared with me. I Love you.

This is my tribute to our beloved puppy

Rhonda & Robin

Pepper is sorely missed but his message of love and appreciation of this short life lives on with him in our hearts.

Joby was our "best boy." He loved to go for long walks with us. He also loved to ride in the car. He loved camping, eating, and most of all he just loved being with us. Our hearts are broken to know that he's gone but he will be forever in our hearts. God bless you, sweet boy.

When I was growing up, my family had pets, but Jock was the first pet I had that was "mine." He wasn't registered, but there was no mistaking that he was a seal point Himalayan. I got him from a friend when the person who originally going to take him had problems and couldn't. I wasn't sure about having a cat at that time, but I can't imagine having had a better companion than Jock.
He was a very gentle and "gentlemanly" cat. He was good to the female I brought home when he was six months old--he and Jasmine made quite a pair. As far as I know, he never hurt her or any other cat he was ever around.
He and I fought several health problems over the years. When he was four, he developed a hypersensitivity disorder which caused the hair to fall out of his ears and his stomach, as well as his claws to fall out. I thought I'd lose him them, but the vets, after many trips and tries, found the right combination of drugs and he rebounded so quickly I couldn't believe it.
Then, when he was nine, they found a cancerous lump growing on his side. I was told that it was a very aggressive kind of cancer and that it would almost certainly come back or spread, even after it was removed. But again, he beat it, although I was scared a year ago when another lump showed up in the same area. It was benign, however.
Unfortunately, I also found out he had kidney disease. He did well until just after Thanksgiving. He quit eating and lost almost half his body weight. Fluid therapy help his kidneys, but he never felt well enough to eat on his own. After all that he had been through over the years, I just couldn't stand the idea of putting a tube down his throat and force feeding him.
The last trip to the vet I knew he wouldn't be coming home. We finally faced a problem that we could beat and I let him go on Wednesday, December 19, 2001.
Jasmine and I miss him terribly. Every day I expect to see him when I come home from work. He was a wonderful, sweet, loving animal and I was honored to have him as a friend.

John Curry

My sweet little parrot, Jocko, passed away from old age on 4/18/02. He was the sweetest parrot I have ever had. He never asked for much, and didn't yell like most birds do. My family had him for 40 years, but he was older than 40 as we found him, or should I say, he found us by way of a friend. My friend heard a scraping, rustling type noise outside her front door. She opened it to see a little parrot who proceeded to say, "Hi Jocko!". Needless to say, she was dumbfounded, but kept him as she tried to find his owner. The owner was never located, so she kept him along with a trained parakeet she had. One day, Jocko let himself out of his cage, and went to the parakeet cage. He let out the parakeet and laughed as it flew away. My friend was very upset, and gave Jocko away to us.

He was a special little light in my life. My cockatoo loves having all the attention to himself now, but I can tell he wonders where the other bird is.

I grieve because I have lost him, but I know I will see him again one day. If I am rewarded at the end of my life with the gates of heaven, or to even catch a glimpse of the rainbow bridge, I know my little Jocko will be there waiting for me. May god bless his dear soul. He gave me so much love and trust. I was privileged to have had him for so long.

Trisha

You were such a great cat Jocko. I am going to miss going for walks with you. I loved you so much, you big old tom cat, with your one grey ball and one white one, and your black nose that made you look like Charlie Chaplin. You had such a sweet personality, you were quiet and shy but loved to walk with me and I knew what you meant by your yowl, growl or miaow. My heart broke when I saw you in the street after you got hit by that car and died on the way to the vet today. You should have lived a much longer life. I am sorry. I shouldn't have let you outside, but you were never an indoor cat, you liked to walk your territory and felt safe outside, from the time I found you under that construction trailer in Tracy. I know you didn't really like Gracie but you did put up with her and played with her. Go with God, I know you're in a better place but I miss you so.

Heidi

What can I possibly say in the English language to express how I feel about Jodi. I miss her terribly, she was an incredible, brilliant loving girl. I am glad my family was able to rescue her, give her a good life. When I think back about the first time I saw her, scared and alone, I remember knowing she was the one for me and my family. She shook the entire way home. But just before she fell asleep near me in my room that night, she sighed, and stopped shaking. Over time, I came to know the sigh as contentment.
I owe a lot of thanks to her for her selfless love and support she gave to me over the years while I was growing up.

I will never forget you, Jodi. Rest in peace.

Elliott Freis

Good bye my Bear boy, be good at the bridge! I will be there soon enough.

Momma

Our beloved silver grey toy poodle had to be put to sleep on the 16th April 2002, she was our baby for 15 years, she had been going down hill for two years after a mistake was made by a vet, she went almost blind, was deaf, developed heart problems. Our new vet kept her going for this time on medication and care but on this terrible day we new it was time, she had just laid on pillows for the last month, hardly ate anything and had to have the fluid drained from her tummy every three weeks. She always raised her head from the pillow each time I came in from shopping but this day she couldn't manage that, it was time. We miss her so much, I didn't want to live for the next two weeks, we miss having to carry her out to the garden, trying to coax her with tit bits, cleaning her bottom, lifting her into what ever room we were in, not seeing her on our bed every morning and so many other poignant things. She is now in the garden with a beautiful orange Hibiscus tree on her grave and a brass plaque on the fence, we go and talk to her every day and tell her we will see her again when it is our time to go but it is all so heart breaking. I prayed to God to take her in her sleep so we wouldn't have to make the decision ourselves but he didn't. We know why now, we were meant to witness the very caring way the vet and his staff took care of her. It is very hard doing things for the first time without her, we have done most of them now with just one to go. We are getting over our grief with the help of a very caring niece and this website. My husband would like to go away for a few months but I don't want to go until I can be sure she has gone to dust. She will be in our lives forever, we loved her so. Be happy Jody, Love Mum & Dad

t is now 58 days since I had to take my baby, Jody, a silver grey toy poodle, to become an angel. It still hurts so much, I can't believe it. I have a husband, daughters and a granddaughter to give my time to but there are so many empty hours in a day now without Jody, I can't seem to let her go and I know I should. I hope I am not stopping her from going where she should be. I have heard her little feet pattering on the floor boards twice since she died, coming as she used to to see what I was doing. I spoke to her and thanked her for the visits and said I wish she could stay, ( I don't think I ought to have said that)
The world is so empty without her nothing is really important anymore, everything seems so shallow. I think I hide what I'm feeling from people quite well it's when I am at home on my own it hits me then I have to get out of the house for a while, then I feel braver and come back and talk to her in the garden where she is buried. Life will never be the same, I loved my darling Jody so much.

It has been just over 3 months since our baby Jody our silver grey toy poodle of 16 yrs left us to go over the rainbow. Born 2nd 1987 died 16th April 2002. Life is still very empty without her, when will it get better? I miss that little furry bundle in my arms and waking up and not seeing her on my bed, watching her excitement when we were about to go camping, with her waiting to have her collar put on, my empty lap while driving along, missing her excitement when arriving at the camp site, meeting our camping club friends and begging titbits from them at meal times. I miss cooking her meals up for the next two weeks, watching her little nose twitch at the aroma, she should be lying at my feet right now if she was still here. It makes me sad that friends don't mention her now, I like to talk about her but I hope it is because they think it would upset me. I can only talk about her to my husband who misses her as much as I do and a very caring niece. We keep finding photo's of her from through the years that we are framing and filling the house with. I have several relations die in the past year, none of their deaths have affected me as much as my Jody's, why is that?. The Hibiscus tree we planted on her grave is doing well. I will never forget that devastating Tuesday we put her there. My husband had already prepared a very neat grave when I came back with her in my arms from the vet, he knew I wouldn't be bringing her back alive. I keep hoping she will pay me just one more visit to let me know she is still around. I can't seem to let her go yet. Sleep tight my darling Jody.
Your very sad Mum.

We had to say good-by for now to our special little partner on Wednesday, the 6 th. of November, 2002. It hasn't been even a week and we miss you soooo much. Our hearts are broken. You were our life since your Momma died on Feb. 6, 2000. But, now you are with Momma Snuggs. We love you. We will NEVER forget you.
Your Loving Parents,
Jane & Ed

Book II Corinthians, Chapter 2, Verse 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you."

Psalm 50, 10 & 11-"All the animals in the forest are Mine and the cattle of a thousand hills. All the wild birds are Mine and all living things in the fields."

Joey, though we only had you for a very short time, we grew to love you more than life itself. You were so giving, so loving, and we never ever had to worry about you hurting anyone. You learned quickly through the training done by Brande and we know you loved her more than anything as we loved you. It is so hard to be without you, there is an emptiness which will never be filled, but we know also that God used you in some way to help us grow. We will see you again someday, but until then know that you will never be forgotten…the way you loved to follow Brande around, sneak your nose into her pocket to look for a treat, would playfully nip at her then turn and run away playfully. You were so gentle and calm with her, and performed your tricks she taught without fail. We loved to see you sit up, or lay down. We still remember how she took you in the costume class with "fake" deer antlers, had you lying on the ground on your side, and she dressed up in a hunting outfit with a fake gun, kneeling aside you. You never once lifted your head as the judge passed. You were the perfect companion and you are missed so much. Maybe someday there will be a day when we don't cry when we think of you, but that may be far off. We love you so much and miss you, Joey, please be beside us, for you will always be in our hearts. *crying again, kisses the halter you used to wear, and holds the bit of mane and tail to me tight* This is so hard, we love you.

Sherry & Brande

My little Joey gave me many years of joy. The past year had been a hard one for him..he really went down fast. It was hard for me to come to terms that my baby was old and I needed to help him.
Joey, I love you. I am sorry I could not do more to help you baby. I done the only thing I knew that would stop you pain.
I love you forever baby Joe Joe...rest well
Mommy

I did not adopt Joey. I adopted my bunny from the animal rescue league of Boston 5 months ago. Joey was there the whole time my bunny was there. After 5 months he was sent to another shelter, where I visited him. Since Feb. He has been in shelters and was found as a stray so who knows how much time he had a safe home. My mom wasn't sure about a second rabbit and they have had so much going on (I have depression and obsessive compulsive disorder) to worry about. I found out that he has been sent to the house rabbit network. He was on their website for one day, and the next day he was off the site. I knew he couldn't have been adopted yet because they leave the bunnies on their site for a week to say that they have their forever home. I emailed them worried. I got an email back today. He died during his neutering surgery. He was such a sweet boy and even thought its not my fault I cant help but wonder if I had convinced my mom (she liked Joey, but I guess she wasn't convinced and thought he would find a home)that he would have has the surgery at a different time and he would still be alive. I love you Joey, maybe you will meet bacci my rabbit that died. He's a white mini lop if you see him. When I was at my boarding school there was a farm where bacci lived. Maybe you'll find him

I fell in love with little Joey the moment I saw him in the pet store as a tiny baby. Through his whole life, he was kind, gentle and sweet with all other animals and people. Even when he lost the use of his back legs and got cancer, he was cheerful to the end. He will be missed by all, especially by Sue, and by Edgar, his best rattie friend who took care of him. God is lucky to have gained our Joey.

Love,

Sue, Dan, Josh, Amos, Riley, Piglet, Edgar, Celeste and Frances

A Tribute to our Darling Joey, 19 years old. Called back to the Great Creator. How I miss you, darling-heart. Thank you for so many wonderful years of loving friendship and companionship. Thank you for all your "meaty" kisses and the endless cuddles. You have been so much a part of our lives, I cannot imagine life without "My Joey". How hard you tried to stay with us, to hold-on to the life you enjoyed so much....How I ever found the courage to part with you, I will never know. This was my final gift of love to you, my Joey, so that you could go on your journey, free from all sickness and young once again. God Bless you, my little one. Wait for us at The Bridge, when we will hear your distinctive voice call to us. Where we will never be parted again. We love you.
I love you.

Maureen and Jan xxxx

Thank you Joey for bringing me happiness and friendship! Thank you for waking me with purrs, and putting me to sleep the same every day of your life. The whole family misses you terribly and will love you forever. I will be expecting to see you on that rainbow bring when the Lord calls me home...

Katie

Joey was a very, very special member of our family and met every challenge and obstacle with incredible perseverance. He blessed our lives in so many ways and we will miss and love him forever.

Play in eternal peace and happiness at the Rainbow Bridge my friend. We will see you one day soon and always keep you in our hearts and our prayers.

We love, adore, and cherish you, Joey.

Cathy and Tony Onorad

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

Joyce

I miss you. You were my little friend. I will never forget you baby.

Sarah

John you made my life, you filled each day with your beautiful love and you taught each of us to love more deeply and your attitude about things helped us keep ours in tact. You were the love of my life and I will never get over missing you, all I need to know is your ok and happy and I will see you again one day. I pray to God he will send me a message or sign that your ok. I love you and will miss you more than anyone can ever imagine. This is from your mom to my little Johnny...I love you !!!!

Most people do not think of goats as affectionate animals, or as close family pets, but they can be. Johnny was my best friend. He was always there when I just needed to have someone around to keep me company. I bottle raised him.

I was made to put him and my other goat Jody at another home recently because the county said I was not zoned to keep them, but there had never been any complaints in the almost 5 years that I had them here.

He was not happy at the new place. My mom and I were the only things he knew. He didn't adapt to the herd life as well as Jody, and I feel that he was left on his own, and I think that it may have played a role in his passing. I got the news just 6 days before my birthday that he had passed away and it was like a punch in the stomach. I don't know what else to say.....

Goodbye Johnny, my friend......you are sorely missed. I will never forget you.

We miss you so much. You brought so much happiness to our lives and filled us with so much joy. See you someday.

Maier Family

JoJo will always hold a very special part of my heart. I am very blessed to have had 15 wonderful years and a lifetime of memories. He will be sadly missed and never forgotten.

Sonya & Greg London

Although you were with us only a short while
we loved you and cared for you as you started to grow
We are so sad and filled with regret you have died

We want to tell others to lock up all poisons and watch their pets closely

Paul K

I found him 10 years ago, a half starved, six pound pup. He grew into 100 pounds of energy. Only yesterday he romped with me in the pasture. He left suddenly this morning. His passing was like his life, never any trouble. He now romps in a new pasture waiting with his dog and people friends for me.

Milton Finley

Our Baby, We Will Love and Miss you Forever.

Robin McKenna & John Epperson

To our best friend may you rest in peace.

Donna and Ron Falcone

Jonah Ronah (his special nickname) was my very special "soul kittie". He loved me and I loved him as no other cat we have ever had. He just had to be near me all the time. Either sitting in my lap or sleeping on his own special pillow by my head every night for almost 14 years. I miss him still and look forward to the day when I can once again see him at the Rainbow bridge. I love you and miss you Jonah Ronah. All my love to you, My Sweet Angel Jonah,
MOM

My little Guardian Angel.

Lynn Neurath

16 years of age, 14 years with us. Always loving and loyal, protective and caring. You gave so much to me, especially in the last few months as you slipped away little by little without complaint. I love you and miss you.

Sandie Jewell

I miss you my little Joodie poopah, you were the best little friend and I am sorry I waited so long.

Tribute Poem:
Nine Lives in Five Years
Jordie, we knew you were using them fast.
As an 8-week kitten you wore a leg cast!
You guarded our yard with no claws and machismo.
Then a fall (or a fight?) and your tail had to go.
With a nip in your ear and your roman nose scarred,
You strutted and swaggered, your spirit unmarred.
You ran off old Tom, hissing days, howling nights.
You braved javelinas, coyotes and dog fights.
You jumped off cliffs, you slept in our arms.
You were feisty and flirty and your love was warm.
Our tail-less baby, our snuggly brat......
We'll always remember our adorable cat.

Diane and Grady Harris and Smudge

Beloved Companion, Best Friend and Soul mate - We had a wonderful life together. You entered my world as a 7-week-old cuddly ball of fur and immediately stole my heart. You have always fought a valiant fight and we beat the odds. I see you know romping in the grass and sunshine, as you loved to do. I picture you as a puppy playing chase around the pine tree and chewing the bark on the birch trees. I see you playing football and squishy soccer. I see you rummaging through your toy box for just the right toy in the evening and then see it being tossed at me out of the corner of my eye, whether it was your tug, your monkey, or any other toy of the night you always made me smile and put everything else aside.

Sweetpea, you were always a happy and playful girl up until the very end and you were filled with unconditional love. You will always be in my heart and thoughts until we meet again.

I miss you with all my heart.

I love you, Sweet Jordan!

Mommy (aka: Rina)

To my best friend, The short time we had together was not long enough But I would not have traded one second of it for anything in the world. Thank you Jordan I love you and pray your no longer suffering. I wont forget you!

Mark

My husband and I saved Jordan from the pound when he was 2. He was a runaway then and he ran away all his life, but he always found his way home to where he was dearly loved. Before and after the kids, he was steadfast in his loyalty. Everyone loved him and wanted him for their own. I should have known last year when he had surgery that it was his time to go. But I couldn't let go until yesterday when I couldn't let him suffer any more. Age finally took it's toll and I couldn't deny it any longer. Jordan, I love you with all my heart and I am so sorry I let it go for so long. I know you are at peace now and I will always think of you the day after my birthday. I love you old man! Mommy

jordan has been by me thru my marriage, my divorce, the death of my best friend, the birth of my child, I even left a man whom didn't like dogs for my jordan, my family comes first...he kept me feeling strong as I raised my daughter all by myself...I will miss him so very much....I loved him I always will

Wendy Bright

Dear Sweet Jordan, You are the best cat I have ever known in my life. No words can describe how I feel about how wonderful it was to wake up next to you every morning and how grateful I was to see you every night after work.

Take care of Jesse D for me and we will all be together soon. You both were the sunshine of my life. How much I miss you, you'll never know.

Love, Your mommy alice and randyman

I really, really, love you
I really, really, do
Brought soft eyes that said
I love you, too
Jose … Jose just barely a trace
And a leap to my chest
For that hug face to face

Our last nap together
An hour before
Enjoying each moment
As God whispered low
This memory will mend
That fatal blow

As I lay on my pillow
I still feel you too
Demanding that under it
Was the best place for you
Content in my arm
Keeping me from harm

Brings a smile in my sleep
For your brave heart
Is mine to keep


Pat L. Puaa

Little Joe was a special gift. He nusseled his way into our hearts after we had lost our Dinah. He was an adorable kittie that we will love in our hearts forever.

Tara Randall and Jeremy Pow

Through your love, your cries, your beauty and your spirit, you have taught me how to be a better person. There has never been a soul as blessed as mine by the simple fact that you loved me. I will love you and remember you forever. I look forward to the day that I can hold you, pet you, love you and tell you how wonderful you are. Until we meet at the bridge my sweet little girl. . .

Vicki Shively

Joe was everyone's best friend, and we will miss him so very much. He was our confidante and our companion for nine years and now he is gone. We are very thankful to have had him in our lives to give us the joy that he gave us everyday. We will never forget the way he tugged on our pant legs to keep us from leaving or the way he begged for food or the adorable things he did every day to make us smile. Joe was one of a kind and if he wore pants, I hope he knows that we would have tugged and tugged to keep him here at home with us. We love you Joe and we will never forget you, ever!

My Joshie was my Southern Gentleman. He came to me a starving stray when I lived in Louisiana. Literally stumbling into my yard, he found his way very quickly into my heart. He stayed with me for 9 years, and for the last two years of his loving, devoted life, he battled lymph cancer. He endured the chemo and thrived under the excellent care of his doctors and with my love. He taught me so many things....most of which were strength, devotion, and the most unconditional love I have ever experienced in my entire life. Our bond is not broken, Joshie.... Mommy loves you and always will. Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge. I will be there to meet you someday and we will be together again at last.

Cheri Wilson

Josh you brought so much joy to my life. Josh you will be sadly missed. As I sit here writing this josh I am remembering all the time we have spent together and played together. Josh may you be at peach and pain free now. You at The Rainbow Bridge now /w/ Ben May you spend the rest of you day being happy now /w/ Ben you ferret cage mat who passed away last summer of 2001. Love Mom Hugs and Kisses My Babys

Josh, we'll miss your coos and loud purrs. We'll miss your ear-licks and side-chews when we picked you up. We'll miss you cuddling with us on the couch, and giving you gentle chest and tummy rubs. We'll miss you "Turboing" through the house and your racing stripe on your head, which was definitely "You". You will always be remembered as the "Giant Kitten", always so playful and fun to watch when you enjoyed your Catnip. Safe Journey, precious, beloved Joshua, until we reunite at the Rainbow Bridge.

John Terrill and Brian Patterson

You were my wonderful guarding angel.
No matter where you are, be brave.
My love will always be with you.
I will find you again.

Caroline L. King

Josie, you were such a loving and kind kitten. You had such a hard life due to illness. I tried everything that I could and nothing seemed to work. I will miss you so much. I will miss how you followed me, how playful you were even though you were ill and how you purred when anyone touched you. You are one of the sweetest cats I have ever seen. You will be missed so much by everyone who knew you. I love you button!! I can't wait to see you again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Sarah

Josie,
My little baby girl. You brought me so much joy and laughter. I have never had a pet as sweet as you, and your love will always live on in my heart. Someday, I will see you again, and we can do the "ferret dance of joy" together.

Love you always and forever,
Tish

I found Journey when she was 3 weeks old in a trash dumpster while taking a lunch break during high school. I put her in my purse and took her back to school with me where she slept the rest of the day and would wake up only long enough to sip on some water. I brought her home, walked in the door, told my parents to come see what I found and she has been with me ever since. She gave me unconditional love and survived California earthquakes with me, made a move to the midwest where we both had to adapt to snow to our final place in Ohio. She put up a strong and brave fight with her kidney disease and failure and I will forever love her. A piece of my heart is missing as she was my best friend. I will never forget you "nee nee"

Kristina

Rest in peace dear friend.

Mary & Richie

You were absolutely a JOY to have in my life! I love you and we will all miss you, especially Spirit.

Andrea Gurrola

A tribute to the best dog I ever had, 12 & 1/2 years of unconditional love from my beautiful baby girl who is missed everyday. Died 4/11/2001 She was a shih-tzu.

Ann Gagne

To the memory of my precious angel (KITTY-CAT) "Joy "
You were the joy of my life, your unconditional love and your tenderness is missed sooo terribly, I hope to see and meet with you again sometime ever.....I need you to know that I miss you soooo much and will love you always, may you rest in peace...
Love you Mami :0(

Our special little girl is gone. This morning was different in so many ways. The choice was such a hard one, the grief so devastating. She was part of our lives from Lake Tahoe, Nevada to the west coast of California, to New York and to Florida. She had 2 litters of puppies, one on each coast. We have her son, Pitzi still with us. JP made it through a round of cancer (fibrosarcoma) and fought the good fight. At 15 years old, she needed us to intervene. She was a trooper. She is buried outside my bedroom window in our new home and will forever, always be in my heart. That is how I know she'll go on.

Lisa & Sami

My Little Jr-Butt!

We miss you so much!!! Georgie misses playing hiding & seek with you. I miss your beautiful, beautiful eyes & face. You were so meek & mild and such a good boy! I miss you snuggling with mommy at night time. I have a new bear I hold now. I have your ashes at home & I think about you constantly! Peanie died right after you left us. I think he missed you terribly! Candie misses you too Bub! Everyone misses you! You were the best doggie! I will love you always and forever! Mommy will see you again some day. You just hang with Joey & Peanut... they will take care of you Angel-butt! Enjoy the pastures and enjoy no more pain!

We miss you baby-boy!

Love Always,

Mommy, Georgie, Daddy, G-ma, Candie & Peanie!

He was a special little guy and will be missed everyday!

Barb Lingham

To a gray and white American short hair named JT whom I had for 19 short years. She traveled badly and yet never complained when I moved her half way across the country. She was always there when I came home and always seem to know just how to pickup my spirits, even when I was in my darkest moods. Sometimes it's harder to stay behind than to move on to the Rainbow Bridge. While it is difficult right now I find comfort in the Rainbow Bridge poem and I thank you for posting it. This is indeed a dark time, but now I will look more diligently for the rainbow and know JT is there waiting.

James Mitchell

The pain we are suffering now is the price we pay for the love you have been able to give us all over these years.
In loving memory.

Rocco, Mapì, Matè

I will miss you my sweet boy. I thank God for you. Rest well and drink all the milk you want.

Bridget May

You left us as fast as you came to us. We miss you so much baby boy.

JuJu was a great cat. He loved to snuggle and tuck his head to my chest. He demanded attention when he came into a room. His love was unconditional and unending. He was the King of our castle. We look forward to seeing him again someday.

Pamela and Anthony Foister

Jules, my very special little boy - fell into the frozen canal and could not be rescued. I miss you so much. I think of you every day. The house has not been the same without you. Love you forever. Mum.

My beautiful little Moxie girl, your first 5 months were so hard, living in the dead of winter in a backyard with 40 other chis. Until that cold day on Dec 18th 2001 when we walked into that house and seen a tiny little girl shivering in the cold. I knew we had to bring you home. Imagine my terror when you started having seizures a week later. We knew that someday the hypoglycemia would wear your little 3lb body down. We were just hoping for longer than 10 months. I am glad that you got to know love and happiness for at least half of your short little life. Be good at the bridge girl and don't be to afraid of Bear and Goliath, they may grr a bit but they are both as soft as marshmallows. Kizmet misses you bunches. You were the best friend I never knew I wanted until you came into my life.

Jodie

Julie and Geri were our special Belgian Draft horse friends for 16 of their 20 years. Willing, honest, humorous, gentle and kind. They graced our home with their grace, beauty, and strength. They were born in Indiana and lived their whole lives together as "sisters". We felt it best that when they passed on that they spend eternity as they lived...Together. We'll see you at the bridge....We love you. Your "Mom and Dad".

Juliette loved life, beat the odds and tried to stay on earth here as long as she could. She is loved.

Abigail

Our little loyal buddy Julius, was hit my a car and killed. It wasn't his time, but he was taken from us anyway. He was the most sweet, loving, caring and fun cat I have ever know. Most people who knew him said he was the coolest cat they have ever known. He will never be forgotten, that fluffy orange thing, that purred like there was no tomorrow. When you would hold him, he would hold you right back. Rest in peace little buddy. Watch over Lucy, will you? You know how she can be. We love you lots and hope your having fun on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. Love, Brandi & John

15 years of love and fun. Gabriel and I miss you JuJu.

Debbi Deane

Dear Jumbo left us too early and too soon. He was the most lovable dog and was the baby of the house. There was no time for even a goodbye and that shall be our only regret..loved, missed and cherished by mama, papa. We pray to the almighty to keep him in peace..

Binota Patni

Juneau....you were our special little guy. Your brother Tanner, Chris and I are missing you terribly. I am so thankful that you had a happy life and did not suffer. Thank you for all of the laughs that you gave us. Your squeaky bunny will be saved for you. You will forever be in our hearts. Love you goose.....

I had to let my sweet baby-cat rest in peace today after 19 & 1/2 years of love and companionship. I got him when he was only 2 weeks old and bottle fed him. He was the first cat I ever owned and I was truly the only mother he ever knew. We had a wonderful bond and an exceptional understanding of each other. I miss him so much I can't even stand it, but I know it was the right thing to let him go because I didn't want to have him suffer and the vet said he was going downhill. He was always there for me and I felt I shouldn't let him down after all these years even though I didn't want to lose him yet. I stayed right with him and we gave each other 'little squinty eyes' right before he went to sleep. He will be missed by all of my family as well because he went with me to visit all the time. He also had many nicknames, june, dooner, dooney, dooney-looney, goose, goose-head, mommy's baby-cat, baby-goose to name a few. He was a very handsome buff tabby with gold eyes. He didn't exactly meow, it came out more like the old actor Edward G. Robinson saying "myeah, see?, myeah" He weighed 23 pounds at one time. Not fat, just a large cat. As he grew older and lost weight, he had the saggy tummy skin that spread out when he laid down. My niece called him the baby harp seal I know he is in heaven with my mother and aunt mimi, and Mr.Linge who loved cats and always said in a hearty voice "hello junior" when he visited. I know they will take care of each other. Junior, I miss you so much and will always keep you in a special place in my heart that is just for you forever. George (daddy) and Tasha miss you too. xxoo mommy

Junior can be seen at http://geocities.com/childrenarecats/Our_Pets.html

John Nelson

Junior, there will never be another cat like you. You lived a long and good life but that doesn't make your departure any less painful. I'd like to take pleasure in all the joy we brought each other over the years but that isn't possible when I feel your loss so deeply. Of all the pets I have had over the years you were loved the most and will be missed the most. Rest in peace, dearest friend.

Dale Sexton

My sweet J

You were so true to you baseball name - Junior - playing catch, chasing fly ball toys batted from me and throwing tinsel balls around, I miss you.

The morning rituals of sharpening claws, to getting a shirt, to brushing "toofies" and carrying on intense conversations in the tub, I miss you.

Waiting for us in the window to get home, to checking garage doors, to hating shut doors with you people on the other side, to needing in our laps every time we sat down, WE miss you.

Chasing the laser "dot" or the spot lighter "dot," to being in the middle of the action, I miss you.

I wish you all the cookies, catnip and love as GOD watches over you and holds you safe until we are together forever again. Kiss kiss baby boy, Mom and Dad love you.

Junker.... My Love, My Life, My Baby Girl

Rest in Peace Tina. Your family loves you. Daddy will take good care of you up there. We are sorry you had to go so soon, but the life you lived is full of so many wonderful memories, and we will keep them forever in our hearts. You were one of a kind baby Tina, and no one will ever compare. Now you behave up there. Keep our Daddy company. We will miss you. Love, Jacquline, Amanda, Averil, David, Spinkles, Bisco, Erica, and even Monti

You were so young, but we knew when you were born you were special, we also knew that we wouldn't have you very long - but the time we did have was special and you will always be in my heart.

Penny M Spencer

You were a beloved member of our family, and you will always be remembered deep in our hearts for the loving companionship and the joy you brought to us. You were a so very special! Your departure is a tremendous loss, and while we know you are now in a better place, we pray this provides us some comfort as we continue life's journey without you by our side. You are missed beyond what words can express. Until we meet again...when our tears of sorrow turn to joy... you will always live-on, immortalized by the love you gave to us. Sweet puppie with the soft ears and bright eyes, this family you will always remain a part of!
