Year 2002 Tributes

Tabbino thru Tyson

Dear Tabby, God snuffed you out much too soon; we shared time together for only a little over two months. You were only a little kitten and I miss you so. My feelings of remorse & guilt are overwhelming; your illness & passing were so sudden and I always think that I could have done more and sooner. I know that someday soon, you & I will cross that Rainbow Bridge together paw in hand. Wait for me Tabby Sweetheart, wait for me.

Cy Sawyer

I miss you so much Tabitha. As I write this it has only been a day since you left me and I can hardly bear it. I am so lucky to have been given the 15 years that I had with you, but I can't help but wish we could have been together longer. I don't know what I'll do the next time I am sick in bed without you keeping your vigil at my feet. I will miss so much when we would have our "talks". I know you always understood exactly what I was saying. I am so sorry I never knew you were sick. You fought it so well. The night before you passed was the first time I realized you were sick. I hate that you suffered as much as you did your last night, but I am so thankful to you that you waited on me until I woke up so that I could snuggle and kiss you as you passed. I just want you to know how much I loved you and how greatly missed you will be. I am so sorry that you will miss the twins being born, but they will know of you, for your pictures will be framed and hung up. I love you Tabitha and miss you so much. Love, Sissy

Tabitha was a sweet little Cocker Spaniel. She strived for attention and was very much loved by us all. We will miss her and we loved her more than she could have ever known.

Tabitha

I miss you so much, the pain is so unbearable. I miss watching you lick ice, I miss watching you knocking your food out of the bowl and eating it off the mat. I miss you talking to me, I think we used to have real conversations. I miss you waking me up every morning with a headbutt. I miss seeing your eyes close in recognition of me telling you how much I loved you. We had a very tight bond, a connection that is indescribable. You were my baby, my love, and my friend. I love you so much and I will love you for the rest of my days. One day I will see you again and that is a promise. Miss you baby - Your Mome

Tab was 10 yrs old. She is my loyal companion, my friend, my protector and my little angel. Her beautiful black and white hair and big brown eyes...the smartest dog in the world! She was my shadow and it is so hard without her. But I smile knowing that she is with Jesus and that she has been healed of her illnesses. I look forward to the day we are reunited in heaven...oh what a day that will be!!!
I love you Tabitha and I miss you so much that my heart aches. But I know where you are and who you are with...you are in good hands sweetheart. If you need anything ask Jesus and he will get it for you.
So, until I see you again...have fun and know that I love you baby....
Love,
MaMa........Angie

To nearly 15 wonderful, loving years. I pray she understands I did not want her to suffer.

Daniel Lepel

She gave of her love every day of her life, and her brother Shandy and I miss her very much. She'll probably be seen in the meadow by the Rainbow Bridge, eating blossoms off the flowers ... I suspect she slept last night in the lap of the Creator.

Lois Ann Wolff

Tabitha went on to the Rainbow Bridge on January 18, 2002. We have 17 years together but in the end she lost the battle. Tabitha had a thyroid condition which affected her heart; too much fluid in her chest cavity and abdomen was too much for her. She was a constant and loving companion and friend and I will really miss her. She developed a mammal gland tumor in 1999 and came through that experience with flying colors. Until the end, she was a real fighter. At least now she won't have to struggle with breathing or loss of appetite.

Vickie

My little girl, my best friend. You will never, ever be forgotten, I love you.

Jenn

Goodbye sunshine. I had to let you go today. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I hope seeing my face helped to ease your fears as you laid your head to rest. You will never feel pain again, and will run and play. Jazzy and Jude will be there for you and keep you company. You were always a such a good girl. Remember always, Mama loves you.

Taffy a.k.a Bubba you mean the world to me.. I had you since I was 5, I have grown up with you, shared all of my special life moments with you and will forever keep your memory alive.. I will honor you and make sure to include your spirit in all that I do. I am so sorry we could not cure the cancer. I would have given up any thing I had to make you better. I love you more than words can express! Mom, Dad, and I will forever love you. I know you are with Grandpa and are well taken care of.....Wait for me I will see you when I get there. God bless you Taffy
....Bubba you made my world a brighter place!!!! Luv you forever...Jacque, Mom, Dad

Taffy was the most loving and caring animal I ever had the privilege to know. We will miss her dearly, for she gave us nothing but great joy.

Ed & Jen Theriault

Taffy was very special to us and a wonderful companion for 15 1/2 years. She filled the void as the children moved away. We looked forward to her greeting us each day after work with her fluffy white tail. I miss all the little things Taffy did like drinking water from the hose as I worked in my flower garden, the three of us sitting in the backyard swing together, petting and brushing her hair and just being near us as we did our daily chores. We loved her so much and were truly blessed to have such a loyal and loving pet as Taffy. We will meet her at the Rainbow Bridge. Ronnie & Jeneane

I love & miss you so much.

Katherine

Mom's companion. We'll miss you girl.

Tom

Taffy

Our 'little mousey'....more of a dog than a cat.

Our fearless baby, everyone's friend!

I didn't know your leaving us to start your new life at rainbow bridge would hurt so much.

A journey which started so suddenly, leaving behind you an empty space in the hearts of everyone who knew you.

Your licks, dribbles and grumbling are sadly missed.

Taffy was the greatest dog ever. She had a heart of gold and was a very loving and gentle person. She was brought up from 1990 by the loving family the Zilkies were she led a long, happy and joy filled live. She was always happy and content and could not hurt a flea if she tried. Her favorite past times included swimming in the lake, being brushed, lake of the woods, playing fetch over the bank, tennis balls and mostly her loving family. Taffy was loved by so many and gave all the love back to us. She was a great dog and after 12 long years of her unconditional love, she left us peacefully. We all love you Taffy!

Elise Pettit

Taffy, you've always been such a loving member of the family. You were a source of joy for us. Even though I've been away at college most of the time these last few years, I've never stopped thinking about you. And when I came home to visit, spending time with you was the highlight of my trip. Dad would have been very lonely for the last few years if you hadn't been around. He's having a very hard time without you--You were his constant companion. But I know he'll be okay, because I know you're watching out for him. Dad and I would have done anything in the world to make you well, but sometimes cancer just can't be treated. Dad and I would give anything to be able to take you on another walk, or another car ride around the neighborhood so you could bark at the squirrels, or to throw your favorite squeaky green ball for you to fetch. We miss you so much. Until we see you again, Taffy, remember that we love you. We'll always love you.

To a very special and wonderful part of our family. You always wiggled and greeted us no matter how long we were gone. Whether you slept in your bed or on the white living room couch you knew you were special in our hearts. Times have changed with Nathaniel at college, but you still checked his room each day to see if he was here. We miss you, your energy and love. Somehow your heath issues were meant for a dog much older. Please wait at the Rainbow Bridge for us!

Joy, Gordon and Nathaniel Dean

Tag was my black self rat. She was very precious to me in every little way possible. I miss her so much, that it is hard to write down how exactly I feel with her being gone. Tag was such a loving member to my family, and her memory will stay in my heart forever. I raised her with tender, loving care, and she bestowed upon me the same kindness that I showed her. She was a very sweet little dear, persuading many to look beyond the myths and untruths about rats, and instead to cherish and love the good, like I do, and will forever will do. May you rest in peace, Tag. I'll never forget your unwavering love.

Tagish was a patient, loving furbaby. Her needs were simple, she didn't demand a lot of attention, however, the pleasure and joy she gave to us can not be found anywhere else. I love and will miss you my Tagish. Go in peace, meet up with Ed and Misty, play to your hearts content. I will be there soon to join you all. Go with my love and blessings to a better place. When I am at the lake, your spirit will always be there. Love, mom

I love you my beauty and am so sorry for letting you down. It was not the ending we wanted and I wasn't even there to say goodbye. We all thought you were on your way to recovery. But it was not to be. So just know how badly I feel and wish with all my being you were coming home to me like we planned. My heart is broken and the tears won't stop. I miss your soft kisses, your big beautiful paws, your smell, and the sense of comfort I had when you were nearby. The house seems empty and not quite so secure without your presence. I will miss you every day for as long as I live. Thank you for Chloe -- she too seems quite lost. Thank you for enriching my life. Goodbye my beauty, my best friend.

Tahoe was a very special cat. Although he was a little reserved there are many funny things that Tahoe is remembered for. Like his love for water. I remember when he was a kitten he jumped in the shower with me. And up until the end, when I got in the bath, he would sit on the edge and head butt me for kisses and for his face wash.

I miss him very much and think about his everyday. As does Kitty, his best friend. Be a good boy Tahoe, Mommy loves you.

Tailer was the reason for every pure breed rescue and every humane society. He was warm and loving and a little battle-scarred from being looked after but not always loved deeply. He came to us a Godzilla of a cat, overweight and tentative. He lost the excess weight and enjoyed months of leaping and climbing and bouncing like a kitten. He eventually became the most sought-after member of our family when emotions ran high because he always understood and he always wanted to share. The arrow of his devotion always found the heart that needed it most. He was a "senior" kitty when we got him and was only with us 9 precious months, but he made a lifetime's worth of impressions on our hearts. When it became obvious that he could not bear the pain of his illness anymore, we made the heart wrenching decision to send him on ahead of us. He went peacefully, surrounded by family and a veterinary staff that loved him. Because of him, we will live better, love more deeply and count our blessings more often. Thank you, "Lumpy Cat", for loving us and for the opportunity to love you...

Brian & Michelle Duncan

My Dear Sweet Taj,

I will miss your purr, the warmth of your body, your soft silky fur and those big beautiful yellow eyes. You have loved unconditionally since the day we met 16 years ago. I never knew those next 16 years would be filled with so much love. We've traveled together, lived in all sorts of places and met many different people. Most importantly my husband and the man I love. I'm so happy you two met and had a chance to love each other. He will miss you very much. We'll see you at the Rainbow Bridge.

We love you!

Andrea and Gerard

You were my only dog and when I chose you, I chose a winner. I will miss you for the rest of my life. You were the best and most loved dog in the world. Wait for me!

Love, Mommy

Taj and Sitara:

When our first cat, Taj passed away, we had such pain and sorrow and loneliness without you that we felt compelled to find another cat to love. We found you, Sitara, at the shelter and you looked so beautiful- all sleek, shiny and grey, with your button dark grey nose. How beautifully furry you were, you looked like a teddy bear. Only six weeks old, and you stared right at us from your cage, and we knew that you would be our Sitara, our star. As the years passed, the acute pain of losing Taj eased somewhat and we always knew that the joy you brought us helped ease that grief. And how loyal and true to us you were--always in our bed watching tv with us at night; always waiting for us as we awoke in the morning; always sitting next to us when we worked at the computer; always waiting at the door when we came home from work. How you loved to be rubbed all over your back and face and how we loved to hold and rub you. We loved the way you ate your food with your right paw. We will never forget your extensive vocabulary; we knew we were carrying on conversations with you. You were so smart. And when we found a tiny stray kitten outside our front door a few years ago, you knew she needed help and you accepted her wholeheartedly. You were so loving and generous. Today, on this Monday, we will be present at your cremation and we will take you back home with us afterwards. We cannot describe how painful your leaving us has been this past week. We hope God has rewarded you for the love you gave to us, that your soul has evolved to a higher level and that you have all you want and need and are happy. Sitara, we thank you for all you have given us during the past fourteen years. And we thank you, Taj, for the joy you brought us many years ago; without you, Taj, we would never have met Sitara. We will love you both, forever.

With love, always,
Mommy and Daddy and your sister, Heera

Tali,
You were loved beyond belief. You with the heart so big, and the loyalty so strong... you will be missed more than words can tell. You were like our gentle giant, never stepping on any of the smaller furbabies that often ran and played between your feet. You were the most wonderful companion we could have ever asked for. You gave your all for us, and we send you our love now and forever. You will always remain close in our hearts, our Gentle Giant....Talisman.
We love you so much.... Mommy and Daddy

To my beloved little girl...Talitha Koume: Little Girl, ARISE! My love goes with you for all time and beyond. I loved you here and I love you yet. Thank you for the teachings, even though they were hard ones for us both. Blessed rest, and blessed play little one...

Rev. Laurie Alexander

Dear Tallulah,
It has been 19 days since your death. I could not stop thinking about you, I think about you every hour of the day. I didn't realize it would be so hard, probably because of our strong bond. We were so connected because we always cuddled together and sat near each other almost all the time! I doubt I will be able to find a cat with your personality. You were one of a kind, Tally. I will always miss many little things about you; the bump on your head, the spots on your lips, your cute screams when Trey picked on you, the way you ran and your purrs. I know you had difficult times from being sick with liver disease and pancreatitis, you were exhausted from going back to the vet hospital daily for bloodwork and then coming back home. Please know I am OK because you are no longer ill and is eating a lot again in Heaven. We will meet again, Tally, meet me at Rainbow Bridge when it is time for me. I hope you will watch over us and protect us until then, Angel Cat. :) I love you very much and you will always be in my heart and memories. Cheetah and Trey miss you.
Love,
Holly Bauer
P.S. I made a website for you, my beloved cat. www.geocities.com/Catfurrball3/Tallulah.html

Too special for words... The "Tamster" taught me what love is. It was his incredible spirit that impressed the daylights out of those who met him...
Tam, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being there with your unconditional love - to listen, to give kisses, to just "be" with me... You'll always be my baby boy... I miss you more than you could know.

A faithful and loyal friend.

Dom Piazza

Tammy, who I affectionately called Fat Momma was the most loving cat and probably my favorite. She would snuggle on top of my head at night when we went to bed and I could wake up to her in the same place in the morning. I remember her having the LOUDEST purr I have ever heard. It took awhile to get used to her. She would wait for me by the door when I got home...I'm not sure if it was because she missed me or because she was hungry. *smile* Nevertheless it was nice having the meowing for me. She went deaf as she got older and we had to resort to loud claps and thumping on the bed but somehow I think she still managed to hear that can of cat food open. She lived 17 wonderful years and it broke my heart when she passed away as it was not expected at all. The day still plays over in my head. I still have pictures of her on my wall with a poem I wrote for her that day entitled She Knew She Was Loved. I will always love my Fat Momma and I don't think any other pet will be able to take her place.

Mike

We miss you dearly Tammy we love you dearly and not a day goes by we don't think of you and all the joy and love you gave us. Love your mama and papa

I miss her hugs.

Debbie Winchell

Thank you for your friendship, your trust and love, life would have been so hard without you, I will miss you with all my heart.

Liz Williams

I Was He and He Was Me
We Were One Together
He Has My Heart I Have His Lead
I am His Forever

What He Gave He Can Never Know
What I Lost Will Always Show
He Gave Himself, Devotion To The End
I'll Never Ever Have A More Precious Friend

Douglas

Tanker was a dignified, affectionate malamute who was my soul friend. My husband and I credit him with helping save our marriage and he was the first thing we both loved together. I knew I was hooked when we switched dogs with my breeder so she could show my original pup, Tank's brother. I was so in love with him at the end of the week I could not give him back. She took over the show career of Monte and I kept Tank at home where he showered us with abundant love. I had a horrible year in law school and at Christmas break, Tank died. My husband and I cried for weeks and weeks. We still have Monte but we cannot get over Tank. We love him still. He taught me how to be a better, braver person. I pray God has beloved animals in heaven or I do not want to go there.

To the best friend anyone could ever have. We love you and miss you very much Tanky. You will always be in our hearts. We can't wait till we can see you again in a better place.
We love you!!

David, Holly, & Ashley Brown

You were such a sweety ! You will be missed :)

Nana Keet

Sweet kitty, I brought you home when you were just a little ball of multicolored fluff. When my life's travels took me away from you, you enjoyed the unconditional love of the rest of our family until renal failure took your life two days ago. I'll miss you, Tanzy, and I'll see you at the bridge with Bear, Tanya and Moose.
Love,
Mom

He was a great friend and a much loved companion

Linda, Wilson & Jennifer Spence. Rich, Natalie, Britany, & Michael Kielar

Thank you special one, I hope you knew how much I loved you.

Amy Miller

Tanya will be missed terribly because she was our comfort and calm when we felt the world around us was falling apart. She lived a good life and we are blessed for having her come into ours. She brought hugs, licks and kisses just when you needed it. And she knew, she always knew - as we women so keenly do - how much more she could get from a man. So she worked Mario (human) and Mo (canine) and Blitz (canine). She purred for Mario when he scratched her neck and told her to "show him love". That always earned her extra treats. She was good! She was the peace maker between the two testosterone filled canines residing here and she never had to take sides. Tanya you hold a very special place in our hearts. It pains so much to say good-bye, so for now.........we will see ya' later.

Tanya Marie was my best friend in the whole world!! She will be missed by the whole Hagen family, including my girlfriend Brandi, who found her under the neighbors car not breathing. "If tears could build a bridge to heaven I would walk right up there and bring you home again!" I LOVE YOU TANYA! YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Anthony F. Hagen

I thank God for giving me the opportunity to care for you while you were on this earth. You were my best friend. I miss you so much. I pray that you feel no more pain and that you can run and play and are happy with a lot of friends I love you

Peggy

My lovely Tara. You were my best friend and companion and I will miss you for the rest of my life. I would have done anything to save you those last days of suffering. You knew how much I loved you my good girl

Jan Haigh-Reynolds

Tara was a big part of our lives, especially Glen's. He had her from a 10 week old ball of fur, I only knew her for 22 months. But I feel privileged to have been a part of her life.

She started life as the runt of the litter. Saved by my husband Glen from the fate of being "hit over the back of the head with a spade" just because she was weak.

At 6 months old she was spayed and died under the anesthetic. She was brought back and proved once more she was a fighter.

Her life from then on was very different. Eric my Father in Law entered her in local shows and she won countless rosettes, ranging from best of show to prettiest bitch. We joke than she won many of them because of her yapping, the judges gave her the prize to shut her up.

She had been showing her age for a while but kept plodding on regardless. Only in the last few days had she been really ill. She got so she couldn't eat or drink no matter how much we tried to help her. She didn't move from her bed other than to go to the toilet. She was a proud dog and even in her last days she wouldn't not be clean.

Tuesday evening we made the hardest decision ever, to end Tara's life, or looked at another way the easiest decision to end her suffering.

Glen carried her into my Mums car, he couldn't take her to the vets, so Me and Mum took her. We arrived at the vets and when I went to help her out she wouldn't let me she jumped out all on her own.

We got into the surgery and the vet said there was nothing he could do, we knew that already. She gave my hand a last little lick, a last thank you for helping her my Mum said. The vet shaved her front leg and she gave him her paw to allow him to give her the injection.

That was Tara proud to the end.

She is greatly missed, and will forever remain in our hearts and minds.

To my beloved Tara -- you are the light of my life and always will be. You are my beautiful girl; I am so proud of you for the joy you gave to others, and cannot begin to describe the joy you gave to me. I'll never forget finding you, our training days, your enthusiastic Therapy Dog work, our wonderful hikes, the summers at Dog Camp (I still think we should have won the kissing contest), your wide and toothy smile, your love for Grandma and Daddy and me, and, especially, the beauty of your spirit. Love, Mommy (Suzanne)

Tara,

We miss you beyond what words could even say. The endless tears we shed are tears of many kinds. We cry because of the immense sadness that your gone, yet we cry tears of joy for the memories that we have created in the 14 years we were blessed to have you with us. There has never been anything more giving in my life than you. You taught me many things. There will never be a day that your not remembered. We love and miss you with all of our hearts and souls.

Deanna

Tara
She was my faithful companion through thick and thin she stood by me no matter what.
She taught me what it is to love!
I will miss her!

Dennis Irsik

We miss you and will always love you, Missy Bones.

Maryalice and Doug

Our dear little girl died suddenly from heart failure.
We'll never forget her.

Rossco & Pauli

Teton was our 6 year old brindle great dane. He was recovering from surgery for a lump on his chest and somehow developed bloat, which we later learned is a life-threatening illness in dogs. Our long-time veterinarian failed to answer our multiple calls for help, and by the time we took him to an emergency vet 30 minutes away, we had lost him.
So much more than a pet, he was a member of our family. Fare thee well, our dear doggie and loving companion, who passed away this past Sunday. We miss you dearly and will never, ever, forget you. Rest in peace, big guy.

Eve & Joe Berman

Tarport Chief Maull, son of Bob & Pam Maull was born May 24, 1989, in Ocean View, DE. was laid to rest October 29th, 2002.
"Tar" as he was fondly known by family and friends, was educated at Barker University in Pittsville, MD. He was certified by the AKA and received certification in fowl hunting and retrieving.
He grew up in Lewes, DE where he loved to run, swim at Oyster Rock, and jump off the Lewes Dock. In his early years, he would retrieve items off the floor and around the house while taking care of Pam during her recoveries after hip surgeries. His favorite treats were ice cubes, until he learned that dog biscuits were more tasty.
One of Bob and Pam's early memories was when he was left alone for 15 minutes and managed to turn the drain valve on the hot water heater, draining the water all throughout the laundry room and kitchen and part of the living room carpet. This was how he learned to jump up at the site of Pam coming to the door. Pam grabbed Tar and went to the nearby rental center for a wet vac to clean up the mess. They tried to rush back, (after returning the wet vac) before Bob got home from school, but returned to Bob at home and asking why there was a water mark on the base board, and why the living room carpet squished when he walked on it. The next weekend Bob built Tar a kennel outside with dog house and running area.
Tar was preceded in death by his step brother, Hercules of Lewes. He leaves to cherish his precious memory, his parents Bob and Pam; his paternal grandfather Bob, Sr., of Lewes: a step sister, Maggie of Seaford, DE; aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.

I lost my best friend on Friday February 1, 2002. I miss you so I will never ever have you out of my heart. much Tasea baby. I am grieving so much. I cant stop crying and thinking about you and every where I am I seem to see you as you were always near me never away. Mysti misses you also your doggy mom. We love you so Mama, Daddy, Amanda and Bobby The Walter Family

Tasha was a special dog who was abandoned in a run down house as a pup left to dig her way out of a closet and was luckily found by the men tearing the house down her toes were ready for amputation but were saved by a special vet. She came to me and helped me foster many litters of kittens by mothering them and helping me house break the numerous puppies that walked through our doors. At the age of 11 she welcomed a new human baby into our home not ever being around one. She truly was a special dog to us and will be missed dearly by all.

Denise Sargent

To my baby Tasha, I love you little girl. Making the decision to say good-bye was the most painful decision ever. I swear I can still feel you here and I look for you every day. You were my best little buddy and I'll never forget you. I hope you are at peace now - without pain - I'll be waiting for the day when we can see each other again and I hope you know how much you mean/meant to me. I love you, mommy.

Carole

"When you were here"

Every morning we sat and watched the humming birds.
But that was when you were here.
As I pass the place where we once played, I feel a tear start to fall.
As I remember,
that was when you were here.
I wake with a start, did I hear your sweet voice?
I rush to see and say Good Morning,
But then I remember,
that was when you were here.
I see a Butter Fly and think of you,
I think of how you ran
and seem to dance,
as you went from place to place.
But then,
that was when you were here.
I wait for the day when I can say,
This is where we are now.

Written for you my SeaAngel,

Eve

You showed me unconditional love, and your courage is an inspiration. I will continue to love and miss you, my best friend.

Diana

Died from intestine cancer. She was a sweet kitty.

Frank Buck

My precious baby was born in my bedroom only a short two years ago....She was such a little stinker...always into some trouble. She had four brothers and sisters....Today, June 3,2002,she lost her valiant fight for life...Vet said terminal and I just COULD not let her suffer so I sent her to the bridge...I'll be there someday and she and I will be reunited...Til then, I love you so much, Tasha

Theresa

Today I lost my best friend of 17 years. The loss, though not unexpected, is devastating. I know she's in a better place now, chasing balls and running like old times, but my heart is broken until we meet again. God bless Tasha.

Peggy Bell

My beautiful Tasha, very much loved and still today sorely missed by me every single day. We went through a lot didn't we honey, such a superstar that you were, hobnobbing with celebrities and thieving chocolate biscuits from the staff room. You looked after me at work and at home and you were my dearest dearest friend. I love you as much now as I ever did and I shall always miss you. If God creates angels in animals, He created one in you.
All my love my sweet passion flower.

Caroline Sherbourne

She was a faithful protector and playmate for the kids and liked to catch snowballs. All dogs go to Heaven.

Dearest Tasha:

You were my first miniature schnauzer puppy, so I will always have a special place for you in my heart. Having you in my life for those 12 years has been such a joy and I will cherish all the wonderful memories forever. I remember when I first brought you home on Labour Day weekend in 1989; you were only 5 1/2 weeks old and have since grown up to be a real "little lady". I especially hold dear the memory of you tucking your little head under my chin whenever you sat on my lap and I was hugging you, as well as the memory of you playing tug of war with the old socks you were given shortly after I brought you home for the first time. You loved those socks so much and played with them your entire life. I watched you grow old and become more frail over the past few years, but more so after we lost our Daisy who suddenly passed away 13 months before you had to be euthanized. That was a decision I hoped I would never have to make, but you became very ill and your liver was deteriorating rapidly. After the initial shock, I was ready to let you go and put an end to your suffering because I loved you so much and there was nothing more that could be done for you, so I held you in my arms until the very end. What gave me some comfort through all this was knowing that your daughter Daisy would be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge and the two of you would be reunited again. Goodby for now my precious little Tasha, until we meet again! I love you.

Mommy (Nancy Matthias)

We lost our Big Girl, our ballplayer and the leader of our dog family. Our house is a little more empty, but her presence remains always. She will live in our hearts and souls forever. We miss you.

Jeff & Kim Crawford

You were loved so very much, my dear Tasha. How you loved your face to be rubbed and the funny way you loved iceberg lettuce so much! We had more than 13 happy years together. My only prayer for you was for you to go peacefully when it was your time, and my prayer was answered. I love you, and I will always miss you.

Susan Bolster

Tasha,

I was blessed to have you in my life for 18 years. You were always there for me and you were my baby. I miss you so much and my heart aches but I know I will see you again.

Love you

Joanne

To Tasha Ewer,

I miss you my dear
with no one to talk to no one to hear
your love was always so deep
I just can't handle that time for sleep
My heart is so broken
no motions, no words spoken
I love you so much
and I miss you a bunch.

Hold tight my dear
For I am ....a near!!!

Kisses, Hugs, treats and love,
I miss you my dear so....pleasantly above!!!!!

Tashi,

My sweet baby love. You were my best friend. When you came into my life, you were so small that I could hold you in the palm of my hand. You moved across the country and back with me, you saw me through many sad moments and many happy ones too. You are my heart-and I will always miss you. When you were diagnosed with heart disease last month, I held out hope that we could make it better. We could hang on and have a few more years together. It looked possible for awhile, but it wasn't meant to be.

I came home last week and found you, so weak, and in so much pain. When you couldn't stand up, I knew what I had to do. Nothing in this life will ever hurt me as much as losing you hurts. Nothing. I just wanted your pain to end. Thank you bubba, for being my friend, for bringing so much happiness into my life.

I miss you every day. When I do little things around the house-I miss dancing with you, I miss cuddling with you, I miss your head-butts and your hugs. I miss the way you used to yell at me. I could hear you meowing from three floors down and it would make me smile.

I know you're with Ying, smacking him around like you used too. And I know that I will see you again someday. But until then, I will be missing you. Sleep well my sweet pumpkin belly-I will always love you.

Love,

Mommy

You are in our hearts
We Miss you little Tashye
Love Mom & your big sister, Skyler

To my Golden Girl: My Best Friend- Lovingly known as Tasia, Tasia-my and Tasia O'Malley!

You were not born of me, though your spirit encompasses me. Your life blood flows through my veins and mine through yours. I reached out to you and you were always right beside me. You were a free spirit joined forever with mine. Thank-you for sharing the gifts of your LOVE with me and my family. You blessed us everyday with your presence. We love you dearly. All my love till we meet again, Rhonda.

Thanks for being the best puppy a family could ever ask for. I hope you ran over that bridge with new found strength and energy that you'd been missing this past year. I pray the time comes where we can be together again.

Brian, Christie, Kevin, and Kyle

I will miss her and think of her everyday. She was my first child.

Our Cat Ta Ta was the greatest in the world. He was my baby. I took the cat in as a stray at work, then the place closed down for the forth of July week vacation. I could not leave him there. I brought the cat home and Ta Ta was with us since. I called him mommas baby and Ta Ta. He would sleep with my son at night. When my husband would call him to come over to him the cat would. We used to take him for a walk on a leash. We moved and I left my job and I was home with Ta Ta all day. I would talk to him constantly. I would enjoy coming home from the store and have him greet me. When my husband would sit on the couch in the morning eating his cereal Ta Ta would sit in front of him watching his every move waiting very patient for the milk that was left over. We would all laugh because my husband found himself rushing to eat the cereal just to give him the milk. Ta Ta would also come right to you if you called him. Ta Ta was very smart, I would say give mommy kissy and he would lick my nose. Ta Ta understood every thing we were saying. Ta Ta got real close to my 13 year old in the last few of years. Ta ta always wanted to cuddle with him. Ta Ta brought so much joy to our lives. Now he's gone and we feel the lost terribly. I don't know if I want another pet, because I will always be thinking of Ta Ta and it would hurt so much. I just can't wait to see her again. We Love you Ta Ta and miss you so much. Mommy, Daddy & Michael Weiss

Even though you were in my life for only a short while, I hope you felt my love and know that I had hoped for you to join our family.

Maryeileen

We miss our sweet Tatum so much. You were taken too soon. We will miss the way you jumped in the air to catch your ball and prance around so proud. We will miss the way you feel when you would snuggle against us...you loved our touch so much, and we loved yours. We will miss your little doggy smell, your big soft floppy ears, and your damp brown nose. We are so sad you are gone, but we will see you again, we promise. We love you, Miss Tatum, and we always will.

Joe, Kelly, Suzi & Stacy Hixon

Tauro was a Shiba Inu with a wonderful disposition that made me laugh from the first moment he arrived. I only had the pleasure of his company since Memorial Day weekend of 1998, but I do have his daughter who is very much like her "daddy", for which I am grateful.

Corinne Dahms

She was a REAL "Girl Friend".

Jean & Steve Howorth

For Tawny, my very special dog, who was with me for almost 12 years. I miss her very very much and will always be in my heart.

Christine

Hope you have fun up in dog heaven.

Be a good dog.

Don't forget grandma. She loves you and misses you.

Zannah, Machelle and Dylan

My Taylor was everything to me. He was the sweetest animal I have ever known. He always knew what I needed and was always by my side. He passed away while I was gone and I am so sorry I could not hold him during his passing. I would give anything to have him back for one minute so that I could tell him one more time...how much I dearly love him. We all miss you, momma's baby, and can hardly wait to see you again

Susan McCain

My dog Taylor - is a GREAT dog.
She has insulinoma's. I put her to sleep today in her yard with her toys and her friends. She will remain alive in my heart and as the guardian angel of my new baby twins.
She lived long enough to celebrate her 11th birthday and meet the our new twins who were born on Aug. 8th.
I will try to remember the good things that I learned from Taylor and incorporate those ideas into my life.
Thank you Taylor for being part of my life!
I love you!

Taylor, I hope you know how much you are loved and missed. I thank you for all your love and devotion. You are in my heart and thoughts until we meet again.

Greg Schatzle

My very special baby boy. We miss you terribly. You're always in my heart; I'll see you again, at the Bridge.

Jennifer

Taylor is the most special and loved horse that nobody wanted. He went through multiple homes that didn't love him. Only I loved him enough to want to buy him, but unfortunately I didn't have the money or the stabling to keep him. He was put to sleep because he couldn't find a home. I will love him forever.

Jessica

Taylor was a special girl. We loved and enjoyed her for 12 years and 1 month. Today she crossed The Bridge to join her sister, Erin, Mother (Tweed) Grandmother (Darcy) and all the others who have crossed The Bridge. Taylor you have left a big hole in our lives.

Taylor...As we sit here and cry, I know that you have already met up with Mandi at Rainbow Bridge...She always was your best friend and now you are together again. As for us, you were part of our family and you will deeply missed.

We Love You!

Taylor walked into our lives immediately following the loss of my childhood dog, Fluffy. While Taylor could never replace Fluffy, Taylor nevertheless helped me learn to open my heart again. Even after I left for college, Taylor remained at home until my brother eventually took him. Whenever I visited my brother, I would get to see Taylor. And despite the few visits I made, Taylor still remembered me. Last evening my brother called to say that Taylor, at the age of 9, had passed in his sleep. Although the news saddened me, I know that Taylor is in a better place. And I know that I will see him again someday.

Sabrina

My beloved companion - Taylor - was laid to rest this afternoon. His battle with cancer was brief, but he lived a full and happy life. He love everyone and he was loved by everyone. He is happy to be with Auggie and Napa in the green meadow now. But please remember - whenever you are sad and you are missing me, just look beyond the shadow of your heart and that is where I will be. You are my friend and you will be sorely missed.

Michael

Everything remains in place for your spirit to come play and visit...anytime. You are so loved by all.

Fredi & Jordan

You brought life and love to our home. Bless you boy. Thank you love.

Evelyn and Joyce

He was my best friend from the time I got him in 95 until the day we had to put him down. He was almost 7 years old when we had to put him down due to Kidney Problems . His Kidney's where making him lose weight and make his body shut down. It killed me and my whole family to have to see him shutting down in front of me for 3 weeks. We tried to do everything that we could do by forcing him to drink water and forcing baby food down him. But for the last week he would even eat.

Taz: You came into my life 2 yrs ago as a baby Siamese looking for a home and you found me. You were my pride and joy. I was so proud to have you in my life. Not once did I ever have to get after you, you were an angel. Went you left you took a part of me with you. You had lots of friends here that will miss you dearly, you had a way of reaching into people's hearts. You didn't have a mean bone one or any bad habits for that matter. You will always be my baby boy Taz. Your big brother Blackie misses greatly and one day you'll be together in kitty heaven. I will fight for you to stop the FeLV virus to stop the spreading of the fatal illness. You didn't die in vain.

Love you always
Human Mom Terrie Mohr

Taz was my friend. I found him on a domestic call and neither person wanted him so I took him. One of the best decisions I've made. I miss him terribly and I'm having trouble getting over his dying. You would think that someone who deals with death regularly would do better.

Lance

Tazz was and always will be loved and sadly missed by our family. She was my 2 1/2 year old daughter's best friend and she was my first "child". Her life was a gift to our family and our lives will never be the same without her. May God embrace her in His arms and know that she will always be in our hearts.

Tazzy was a gentle giant who loved everyone. Your life was to short but full of love. You will be missed and loved forever. You brought so much love to our lives and we thank you for your unselfish life.
My sweet angel please rest in peace and your loss will be a huge void that hopefully one day we can deal with without sorrow in our hearts!!
You were special and unique
Sleep my sweet angel sleep
We love you so very much
Hope to meet up with you one day
Don't forget us my love
Mommy

One of the sweetest dogs that ever came into my life.

Elsie Morris

I'm so sorry, but I couldn't stand to see you suffering anymore. You'll always be my best friend, and I'll always love you. I miss you, TC. I'll hug you again someday, I promise I will. Don't forget me, and please don't hate me. Remember all the good times we shared, and remember I love you.

Holly

My pretty kitty who meowed very quietly and got sick and I barely even knew it. He grew up with me. I loved him very much and I will always remember him. WE LOVE YOU

Rachel Deleon

TC, you were my first and you set the standard for those that followed. Your bright eyes and gentle voice are truly missed by your fursister and brothers, your Grandma, and most of all by your Mommy. We love you and miss you. Until we meet again..

To our little wild child TC, who did what she wanted and gave us such pleasure: little one, you are really missed. We love you.

Jodey Castricano

T.C.
We weren't ready to let you go but you went through so much these last several months with declining health. Our home is so very, very empty without you. Thanks for the joy you gave us all these years. I miss your greeting me when I come home from work each day, I miss your morning bathroom greeting. I miss seeing you lying on your favorite blanket in front of the fireplace. It's so lonely and empty w/o you, but I know you are now resting at Rainbow Bridge in peace & perfect health again. We love you very, very much & you'll always remain in our hearts.
Mom, Dad, & Justin

Techno, 12/91-06/08/02

My Baby Boy, my Techno, you will always be in my heart. You were taken away from me so abruptly. It has been less than 2 days since I held you in my arms and kissed you goodbye. Please forgive me.
I just could not bear to see you suffering so much. Know that I love you and miss you and mourn for you every second, my baby. I pray that you are in a better place right now and you aren't lonely. Ivan is there to guide you. I know that I will see you and Ivan both one day when we meet again on the Rainbow Bridge.
I love you always, my precious boy.

Ted was a dog with a capital D. He was my best friend and always faithful. Ted let the grand children crawl all over him and was always gentle with them. He never met anyone he didn't like. Ted always had a smile on his goofy face, even when he wasn't feeling well at the end. I have a hole in my heart and a hole in my life where he belongs. I have have many pets, and will have many more, but Ted was that special once in a lifetime animal. I was blessed to have shared his life. I will never forget him, and only wish I could thank him so he understood for all that he gave me and my family. I love you Ted. Goodbye old friend.

Cathy Redman

Teddy was my constant companion for 13 years. We battled liver disease together for over 2 years and he was a strong little dog. He will always be in my heart and my mind. He was with me through the hardest times of my life, always comforting, always loving me. I owe him a great deal. What he gave me I will carry with me forever. I know he will be waiting for me and I look forward to being with him again someday. He was a wonderful dog and I will miss him for the rest of my life. The amount of pain I am in now just shows testament to the profound effect he had on my life and will continue to have. Teddy, I love you very much. You were a good boy. Thank you.

Susan Wolfe

Teddy, a.k.a monster kitty, was a loved cat. He lived 11years, and brought happiness to those who knew him. Today, as he lay in my arms for the final time, he took a piece of my heart with him. I love you Teddy, and I miss you.
All my love monster kitty.

Jill

Teddy the Pom

You were such a little thing... only 1 pound when I got you. I had to feed you by the bottle and give you syrup to keep you from hypoglycemia.

You were so spunky and quick.. not afraid of the bigger dogs in the house.

We lost you Teddy in a freak accident... I feel so horrible... I only had you a little while, but I loved you so much.

You had such beautiful chocolate hair and little oval black eyes and a tail that went 100 miles and hour with happiness.

We buried you last night and I put flowers on your grave today....

I miss you Teddy....

Love your mommie

Teddy was a 13-year-old Maltese who came to join our family of five dogs in January 2002. His little friend Mitzie, a 10-year-old Poodle, came with him. We adopted Teddy and Mitzie from a lady who was moving to Australia to follow love. Although I was eight months pregnant at the time, we felt so very fortunate to be able to welcome Teddy and Mitzie into our hearts and home.

Teddy had his 14th birthday with us in June. A couple months prior to that, we learned he had sinus cancer. Later the cancer spread to his lungs. Because of his age and overall condition, we decided against putting Teddy through the trauma of chemotherapy. Instead, our vet offered us medications to help manage the symptoms of the cancer.

On Friday, July 19, it became very apparent to me that Teddy was starting to suffer. He had stopped eating and drinking, and I couldn't entice him with the usual treats which held his medicine. It became difficult for him to breathe, and it broke my heart to watch him struggle for breath. Although we had hoped for more time with Teddy, I knew immediately that it was time to say goodbye.

At approximately 5:45 p.m. on July 19, Teddy crossed from this world into what I hope is the Rainbow Bridge. As I felt his life slip away, I knew I had done the right thing. There was no more struggle to breathe; only peace and tranquility in that tired, old body.

I kept a lock of Teddy's fur, his neckerchief from his last grooming, and his remains will be cremated and returned to us. When the time comes for me to leave my earthly body, Teddy's remains will be buried with mine.

While I miss Teddy and feel sad and raw inside, I have a sense of peace about him and our time together. It was only six short months, but we gave him the very best we could, and he loved us faithfully during that time. He went from being a lost, despondent little dog during the first few days after we adopted him, to being a glued-to-your-side, loyal, loving companion. He was loved deeply and tenderly, and he will never be forgotten. I hope someday I will see Teddy again, to look into his eyes and kiss his face and tell him again how very much we love him.

Nancy Harrell

I wish to pay tribute to my little dog. Teddy was our family dog and brought fun, laughter and love on a daily basis to us.

He was just a lil guy, weighing in at 8lbs. He fiercely protected all of us even though he was smaller than a cat!

Always the chihuahua, Teddy thought he was a Doberman! He was cute, spoiled and we loved him so much!

Greatly missed by Krista, Michelle and me, his mom.

We were blessed to have him as long as we did. He was a sweetheart and we shall always remember him.

Teddy, We Will Never Forget You!

Christine

Teddy (Bubba Big Butt, T-Bear, Get off my foot you big elephant)

Teddy came into my life 3 yrs ago when he showed up at my local shelter. He was diagnosed with heartworm, and I offered to foster him through his treatment. He never left, and I never regretted that decision. It is because of Teddy that I started researching this often maligned and misunderstood breed, and signed up as a volunteer for a rottweiler rescue organization in the northeast.

Teddy was far from being the perfect dog. He was too tall, too leggy, too long. He had very high prey drive, he was dominant, he was picky about the dogs he liked, he had separation anxiety, and a paper fetish that drove me insane. I wouldn't have had him any other way. He was my velcro dog, and I love and miss him with all my heart and soul. I miss his big head in my lap, and the way he grumbled with pleasure when I ran my fingers through his fur. I miss the “just took a drink of water” showers. I miss the way he would lean on me, as if he couldn’t get close enough. I miss having him waiting at the door for me after a long day of work. I miss his company on long car rides. I miss his rottie grin, and the mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

I lost my Teddy to bloat just one week ago today. I always knew his time would come, but I never expected it to be so soon. I wasn't ready. My tears have almost dried, but my heart still weeps.

I love you, T-Bear

Deb Tomaskovic

You are so special to us and we miss your funny and loving nature -- you added a sparkle to our lives that will never be replaced!

Jody & Dick

Teddy had been a diabetic for most of his life. He put up with countless injections, tests, hospitalizations - all the time showing his good and forgiving nature. He was my love, and a good, gentle, sweet boy. I miss him terribly, and hope with all my heart to see him again one day. Please think about him or pray for him, and wish him to a happy place where he can play and feel good.

Suzanne and Paul Kitwin

Teddy you will be forever loved and missed! We pray you are in heaven with all our other dogs!

Sharon

TeddyBear was a beautiful, long haired, charcoal grey, fluffy ball of love. I watched him being born (& still have his mom), & I watched him go to the Rainbow Bridge. I can't wait to see him again!

Mikki, Mama, Caitlynn, & Cecalee

My beloved T-Bear had to be put down yesterday as a final act of love.

Vikki Secord

He was my comfort when my Mother passed away on January 1st 1990, the long fur and steady purr, he let me know, I was loved. Many a boyfriend and now my Husband bears the "Mark of The Bear" as he was fondly called. He thought the men crossing into His turf were interlopers. I was his as much as he was my love. His long fur again bore my tears and purr to comfort when my Father passed in September of 2001. My Husband held me too, but Teddy Bear knew it all. No matter what, he loved me and knew when I needed him most.
I couldn't know that he had Feline Diabetes, and that it was too late to do anything about the renal failure, but "The Bear" made up his own mind on that. An Emergency run to my vet still didn't stop him from going over "The Rainbow Bridge" this past Tuesday night, when I had to decide the next day maybe to end him pain.
I will always Love You, My Teddy Bear.....
Rhonda Morgan
p.s. I'll see you on the other side of "The Rainbow Bridge"
My Love....

Teddy, Faithful friend, loving companion, who brought joy to our lives everyday with your big happy smile, and boundless energy. You left an impression on our hearts forever. We will never forget you, Love, Linda & Dan & "Niki" (your side-kick).

Teddy was the sweetest boy in the world. He had diabetes, and graciously put up with testing, shots, hospitalizations and a lot of fuss for 7 years. Despite his troubles, he loved to lick toes, sit by the fireplace, play in the garden and steal food. He was loved dearly by us and by his brothers and sisters Murray, Lassie, Dieter, Elaine, Captain Midnight and Morris. We hope to be with him again, and also hope he is with his family members who have gone on.

Suzanne and Paul

Our Teddy Bear gave us so much and asked for so little in return. He was our morning sun and our evening star and will forever brighten our memories. Teddy our sweet angel will be the fuzzy angel on our shoulders for ever and always. We love you honeydoll.

This is for Teeka, you were the most wonderful cat to me. I am sorry I was not there for you. Only if I did not leave for those 20 minutes. I love girl, and I well never forget you. You were so loved. you are very missed. Thank you for all the funny and wonderful years you gave us. Wendi and Sean

When I first saw tee KAy, she sit in a cage by herself. The seller said the other puppies fought her. After knowing Tee Kay IM sure she was the trouble maker LOL.I walked in the kitchen and saw the cutes thing I had ever senesce weight 2 lbs at 2 months old. She was looking up at me with her Big brown eyes perched on the side of her face. One looking north and the looking south LOL. We helped her out, sat her down and I fell in love with her. She was everywhere! all over hubby, the sofa, the floor. hubby's head and shoulders at the same time LOL .She was soooooo hyper. That's why I loved her so much. Pugs are pose to be laid back and lazy not Tee Kay! How we gonna get her home and what will we do with her was our main concern after paying for her. She surprising rode home very quietly in my pocket book.
1-21-02 Tee Kay died of PuG Emcephlitis,a fatal disease. She was my little light and I miss her with all my heart.

They came to our home on the same day they stayed in our hearts and home 17 yrs and passed Garfy April1st and Teri yesterday/ WE will never forget our boys and pray they are together

Diana & Bill Stanley

I hope he understands why I did what I did, I didn't want him suffering any longer. My baby had liver disease and I couldn't stand to see him suffer I waited as long as I could and probably too long but had to put him to rest. He was my fat boy, he was overweight, but trying to put him on a diet DID NOT work so I just let him eat whenever, I will always feel like if maybe I would have just made him lose weight he would still be here. Teeto I'm sorry that this had to happen but mommy will always love you and you will always be in my heart! He was like a child to me I held him all the time and he would lay his head on my shoulder, he would sleep with me just like a human would sleep, on his side with just his head peeking out from the covers, just like me. We love you and miss you so much and someday we will meet at Rainbow Bridge...I Love You...Luv ya, Mommy...JamieLynn

She was Sweetest Siamese that any one had ever seen or met, and she will be missed by a lot of people including her Brother "Taffy" and my Mother and I, She is truly with God now.

We love you Teggie.

In memory of Terror-the best kitty in the world who brought us 16 years of nothing but joy-we miss you dear friend.

Elynn Clayton

Terror was more than just a pet he was my familiar and soulmate. I was gifted with him when he wasn't even weaned, the runt of the litter. The others wouldn't let him eat. He was smaller than my hand and I was the only mom he knew. I hand fed him brought him to health and he stayed with me through 2 broken engagements, college, 1 husband, and 2 cross-country moves. His name was short for "unholy terror" because when he thought you had food he would just crawl up your leg to get it!! He was a "talker" and many guests were amazed we could have conversations. He drank the milk dregs from my cereal bowl as his favorite treat. Over the years he grew to over 16 pounds and was the happiest cat. Gentle with kids and a great purrbox when anyone was upset. He even woke me when I was late for work!. In the last 6 months he developed CRF and a bowel blockage. He was not in pain but didn't move around much. I took care of him through hand feedings, incontinence, and IV's but finally it was time to go. He passed away in an hour showing the only pain I had seen in the last 15 minutes when he had to say goodbye. Now I have a black angel cat on my shoulder watching over me.....

Good Bye to the best friend I ever had

Karin Bradovka

She was my very best friend and I will miss her every day of my life. The house is so empty without her. She was so sick but never let us know, until she could not go on any longer. I hope to see her in heaven.

Debby

Tes was a wonderful companion to me for 12 years. I was 16 when I found him as a 2-4 year old stray and believe he was abused by a man, for the only man he liked when I first got him was my dad. He also would get very scared when I would take a shower meowing insistently & louder until I would peek out and tell him I was OK which would appease him for a few minutes and then he would start meowing again sometimes peaking in the curtain at me if I took to long. He was an any person cat, even if you didn't like cats you liked him. He would hug you and nuzzle under your chin and always meow for (headbut) kisses. He is very missed by myself, my husband and my 2 girls. And I am so glad that he got to be their first best friend. There will never be another pet that will be like him for me. He brought me from childhood into adulthood and was a constant supporting friend. There are not enough words to say what he meant to me and I will miss him and shed many tears for him for the rest of my life. I love you Tes and can't wait to cross the bridge with you! Until then you will always be with me.
Love your Mommy. Jennifer

Tess was and is a big part of my life. I really don't know if 13 year old should be feeling this way. November 3rd 2002 my mother had to put Tess asleep because of cancer. But the good thing about that is that Tess is no longer in pain, and she is at the Rainbow Bridge! and 1 day I will be there with her.  
I was 3 years old when I got Tess and she was my life. She was only 9 years old when she died. Sunday morning my mom had to take Tess up to the Emergency Vet Clinic. Tess's temperature was 103, and she could not lift her head up. My mom got my dad and my dad took Tess to my mother's car. My mother, alone, took Tess to the Emergency Vet. The vet said they could not do anything for her. So my mom told them to put her down. my mom stayed with Tess to the very very end. She was there when Tess took her last breath. My mom came home crying, she came in my room and told me what had happened. I started to cry a little. But the next day at school I sat out for P.E. and my teacher asked what was the matter. I told him, then I started to cry so hard. The next weeks where very hard. I came home to an empty house, one time I almost came in the door and called out Tess.  
Before November 3rd, we new Tess had cancer. We found out about in July, or August. We where giving Tess treatments, my family paid about $2100 for her. Around September/October, I came home and Tess's legs where about 5 times the right size. I called my mom and she said to wait tell my dad gets home. About 30 minutes later my dad came home and we took Tess to the vet(not the emergency vet). The vet said that the cancer treatment was not working, and her lymph nodes where really big. Tess's legs where filled with liquid. WE had to wrap Tess's legs twice a day for 3 hrs.  
Soon Tess stopped eating and stopped going to the bath room. Her back legs started to go. The November 3rd came, she was such in bad shape. My mom had no choice and I do not penalize my mom for putting down Tess. I am sure that if Tess could see me, she would not want me to be like this, crying every time I write about her, every time I see a puppy.

I am happy Tess is not in pain.  
Soon we are going to get a new puppy almost like Tess, some kind of Labrador or Retriever. Tess was a Chocolate Labrador. WE are going to name her Tasha. I loved her so much, I still do. I will never for get her.

I am going to make a web page about her soon.

Love Always,  
Christine

ALL OTHER PETS WHO HAVE GONE TO THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.***

To our dear Tess (Tessie Tumbles),
A very mischievous dog in her day but with a deep down heart of gold.
Love you Tess.

Tess was connected to me, and I to her - the moment we found each other at the PetSmart store in Arlington, Texas.

She was loving, gentle, cute, cuddly, and was an ANGEL sent to me by God.

I only had her in my life 9 days. But what Love we shared in those precious 9 days! I will never forget her finding herself right at home within a day of getting here. Sitting in the windowsill of the bedroom window, playing with the ficus tree, hearing her purr softly, and smelling her sweet aroma. She was beautiful.

Yesterday, she suddenly stopped eating and began to sleep more. She stopped playing. Today, she developed diarrhea very badly, and felt hot. I took her immediately to the Vet and they told me after a few tests, that she had Feline Parvo (Panlaukopenia). Nothing could be done. I had to say "Goodbye". She was in pain, and I didn't want her to suffer one more day if she wasn't going to get better.

I held her little shaking body close to mine, and I told her that I loved her very much. One of my many tears fell on her, and she looked up at me. I told her I would see her in Heaven when I got there. I told her to look for me. My husband and children were crying by this time.

Tess was SPECIAL to us - and though we only had her for 9 days, there was an "unexplained connection". WE SHARED LOVE!

She was our "Queen Tess" and though I have read all over this internet about "Do Pets Go To Heaven?" and have read "No" and "Yes" and "Maybe"...I KNOW I will see little Tess again!

I feel like I lost a baby today. And I am in grief. It hurts. Please keep me in your prayers. I miss Tess so much.

You were the light in my darkness, the balance in my equilibrium, the heart of my endeavors. You are an extension of my soul. You have brought joy, unconditional love and magic into my life. You are the smile that I break into amidst all the tears. I love you from the depth of my soul, my sweet little angel, my best friend....always have...always will till the end of time. Rest, sweet pea, you are always with me.

Elaine Tan

I thought you would always be part of my life. I never expected you would leave, and worse was, I was party to that. You knew all my secrets, all my hopes, all my dreams. Thanks for every day we shared, for all the times you waited for me, even when you could not run up to me anymore. I will treasure every purr you gave me - even, especially the last one. I love you. I miss you. Nenna - take care of her.

R Solomon

Tessa I would like to thank you for your love, loyalty, understanding, humor and gentle ways. Its been almost 2 months since you have been gone from my side, but I still step over you in the doorway if I get up in the night and in that moment you are still here. You were my partner in all adventures and fun. You were fearless and to me you were timeless. When your time came you still could have passed for a pup. Maybe that's why your end was such a shock. You will be forever in my heart and not far from my thoughts.

Love You sweet baby

Lynn

Thank you for being my faithful companion. For comforting me when I was in need, for making me laugh when I was down. You were and are the greatest. I know you will be with me always.

Marcella Martin

Tessa, I don't know how to say goodbye. You were taken from me suddenly, and it will create a huge hole in my life. Your mate, Butterscotch mourns for you as well, but he knows that you are waiting for him at the bridge.
I will never forget you and the funny and wonderful things you used to do. The nudging at my ankle when you wanted attention, the binkies every morning for treats, the way you and Butterscotch snuggled. In a sad way, I was glad that I was with you at the very end, and take comfort in knowing that your passing was peaceful.
You will be forever in my heart. I love you and miss you Tessa.
Forever my love,
Your Mommy

I will always want to cry

I never want to forget her
I always want to cry
I never want her to slip away from me inside
I'm mad when I don't cry all day
I'm made when I don't weep
I'm mad when I can't go outside and see her at my feet
Sometimes I make me cry
To remind me of her inside
I want to cry forever
But I'd rather her alive
Nothing can change what happened
I'll blame it all on me
But now I know the pain people feel
I just wish it didn't happen to me
In the day when she's not on my mind
I'm mad that she's not
I wish she were all I could think of
But she's not
I remember all the times with her
To try to make me cry
I remember her asleep with me
Inside our truck
I remember her faking sick
Just to get inside by luck
I remember her heart
That jumped with joy
Jumping at the line
She was the spirit of the team
That made them all gleam
She was one of my first dogs
Her and Paris too
I wish I never lost her
I bet she wishes that too
Memories of her life are all that are left
Pictures in my head and photos
How dare they shoot my Tessa
And end her life
I bet they didn't know how she was wanted in my life
No one will ever realize
What a dog she was to me
I wish the world knew Tessa
And got to see her love
If only I could hold her and pet her fur
To have her back for just a day
But never more
I'll never forget her I'll keep her inside
But the hate I have for the ones who shot her
Will always stay alive

Tessie was named after an angel and she was one for my family through a really rough period in our lives. She was often the only one who could make us laugh when tears were abundant.

Tessie died on New Year's Eve of 2001. With that tragedy, my family lost a true and worthy friend. Tessie, we love you with all our hearts and we won't ever forget you. You were the very best dog.

Jessica Hill

Our special baby, Tessie (registered name Tessie Tutu Toebite) who was a 13 1/2 year old Yorkie left us on Friday, September 13, 2002. She not only brought joy to my husband and myself, our family and neighbors, but to the staff and residents of the nursing home where I am the Administrator. We all will miss her.

Tiny in size but gave huge amounts of love to everyone she met.

Dot and Gene Hinman

Tex was described as a Cat's cat. He marched to his own drum.

Jackie

My Sweet Baby Thaddeus,

I had to say goodbye to my beloved siamese cat, THE DUKE last night, June 18th at apprx 8pm - I couldn't watch him suffer any longer. He was the greatest companion I ever had for 8 1/2 years - from the first day I rescued him at the pound in 1993 to his last moments, he was nothing but pure love and joy - I will miss his smile everyday and his "Dukie walk" -

Dear Dukie, I hope you are reunited with your beloved Duchess Meisha Moo who left us last May 17th - I know she needs you now and please know I did the very best I could.

I'll love you forever my precious baby and the Dukedom will always be there for you.

Your Mommy.

Simply the greatest cat in the world.
Grieving him. Died of kidney failure.
Loved him so much!!!

PW

Thelma,
You are my most special girl and the strong bond of love we share will always be. Thank you for sharing your life and love with me. My heart is yours forever. I look forward to being with you again.
Love always,
Mommy

Tough, happy little buddy. Loved life.

Theresa, you came to me during a bad time in my life and I loved you so much. Unfortunately you had already gotten the Parvo virus without anyone knowing it and died just a month after I got you. That hurt so much I wanted to leave earth and go with you. Hopefully you will fine Jordie and Bobby and have a ball. I love you baby and I always will. Look up Grandmother Burnette for me and you. She will love you also. Have a great life there and I will see you when I get there. Love you, Mommie Jean

To all of the wonderful cats, dogs and rabbits who stayed with us thru the years and who have made their journey.
We miss you all very much and know we'll see you again!
You are all very special in your own unique ways.

love - your moms

Best friend. Love of my life.

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

Jena L

Thomas was a special friend, loving and affectionate and friendly to all he met. He shared our home with us, slept with us, ate with us. He was always there to greet you from work and wake you up in the morning. I will always remember how he would tap my face with his paw to get my attention. He was very vocal and if he spoke to us in his own way all the time. We hope he had a happy life with us. We miss you so much and one day hope to see you again.

Ruth Russell

He is terribly missed by my family.
He was a very special cat and we loved him very much.

P Todaro

Always on my lap...
Always on my mind...
Always...
I love you so much, Thomas. I miss you even more.
Til we meet again, my old friend...

Tony Defreece

Thomas - you will be forever in my heart - to the last of my boys - I miss you all.

Susan Watkinson-Davis

You brought us all such happiness! We miss you so very much.

Dear and wonderful Thor., you are always in my heart and I will remember your strength ( As sick as you were, you still wanted to be at my feet wherever I went.) and the unconditional love you always gave me from the time you were a puppy until the end of your life. I miss you very much.

Linda Grad

To Thor:

For 14 years we shared our lives You were either at my side or in my sight I miss your waving white tipped tail I miss your growley talking rail I miss your soft and loving glance I miss your "Please may I have a woofie" dance You took a piece of my heart when you went away Sleep softly love and may we meet again another day

To our special little man who filled our lives with love for the short time we had you. You will always have a special place in our hearts. Now you can run and play with Lulu and Elliott. Rest well sweet little man. Mama & Daddy will see you soon. Kisses, my sweet.

Bob Morgan & Anne Zimmerman

Bear was a good friend; an older brother to Kyle, a walking companion, and a great traveling dog. He was always invited back to every place he visited, and was known for his gentleness. He is missed greatly by everyone who knew him.

Laurie, Brian, and Kyle Etzel

To our best friend......
You are sorely missed. You will never be forgotten and we can't wait until the day that we will see you again.
You are forever in our hearts and our thoughts.

Jana & Richard Burrows

We had such a happy day on 06/08/02, the vet called with the lab results and you didn't have lymphoma cancer, it was just a bad infection. We thought with medication we would lick this. Today you were doing fine, I left for a hour came back and you breathing very hard, called the vet he came over gave you a couple shots as your glands were swelled up and you could hardly breath, started breathing better and the vet thought you would be fine, left the house for a moment came back and you were gone, it doesn't seem fair I went from such a high, that you were going to be better to such a low the today, I will miss you so you were my best friend. I will see you again someday.

Jon Hansen

Thor was the best friend and "exercise machine" anyone could ask for. He was loved and will be desperately missed by all who met and knew him.

May you run and play forever, Thor. Keep enjoying your "patch of sunshine."

Rick & Kathleen Kristjanson

A special Fuzzy. Smart, friendly, loving. Struggled for 3 weeks, but just couldn't get better. He'll be missed.

Mike & Linda

Thor Baker was a fawn great dane, he was rescued from the pound by us in May of 2000, he was scheduled to be put to sleep, we took him home and loved him till his heart finally gave out on him. Thor was a big gentle guy with a timid disposition whose tail was always wagging. He loved being with people, especially family holidays!! He hated to be outdoors but loved going in the car. He best buddy was a mini doxie who Thor always gently stepped around. His other best pal was our cat Duncan who thought he was the boss of the house, and Thor let him. We were glad to have this big gentle fellow in our lives, and we miss him dearly everyday. Love Mommy and daddy Alice and Frank and Duncan!!!!!!!

She was one of 5 kittens my cousin has raised. The mother disappeared. Thumbalina got in the way of a car that didn't care. Wally has taken good care of all of these cats and they are all gentle and friendly to everyone.

David Stopher For Wally Stopher

Thumper, who brought so much Happiness and Joy in to our life and home. (Gizmo, Mark & Sue Davis)

Mark & Sue Davis

You are with God now. Will miss you. You are now with Pepper (cat) who we lost 9 days ago.
Take care of Pepper.

Pat

Thumper was a cat with special needs. Beneath his disability lived great courage, tenacity, intelligence and affection. He taught me much during the years he lived with me. I shall miss him greatly.

Diane

Thumper came into our lives much the way he left--unexpectedly. He showed up on our doorstep half-starved, sick, and dirty. He stole my heart in seconds, and it wasn't long until he was a fat, healthy, sleek kindred spirit; the sort of cat who could stare at you as if seeing exactly who you are--the good, the bad, and the ugly--and love you anyway. He loved little fur mousies and stolen sips of milk, riding in the car and walking on a leash, sneaking outside for quick strolls around the apartment building, going to sleep at night on my stomach and waking each morning to chase his little sister, Blue, around the apartment.

He was a normal cat, I suppose. And the universe hasn't stopped moving since his death from cancer just a few short days ago. But for me he wasn't normal. He was special. He was a constant companion who, with stealthy, catlike grace, crept into my heart the way no other animal has ever done. Like every other human, I'm trying to say in words what he was able to say in the silence of simply sitting beside you, purring. He was irreplaceable. I don't know the great cosmic WHY of his death, or if there really is a rainbow bridge where he waits for me (with lots of green grass for him to munch--and it never makes him sick!) but I do know I will carry him forever--curled up and purring--in my heart.

Victoria and Moon

They say you can't love a pitbull
But I guess I've been a fool
Cause this pitbull called 'Thunder'
She stole my heart
Now from her body her soul must depart

I'll always remember how she made me laugh
By acting like a clown rolling around on the ground
Playing dead and lying very still on her back
Except for that tail wagging forth and back
She knew a lot of tricks
She was always very smart
But these are just a few reasons she stole my heart

Whenever I was sad
Thunder knew just what to do
She would rest her head upon my lap
And stay very still
She knew her presence was all I needed to feel
Her presence is gone since she went to her depart
And it's just not the same since she stole my heart

Even when she got sick
She still tried to please
She would be very quiet and not ask for much
Just a warm place to sleep and soft food to munch
When it was time for her to go
She did not complain
She jumped into the truck to my disdain
It was a short ride to go to the vet
And all the way my heart was heavy in regret
I knew it was the end of my dearly beloved dog
And I had to say goodbye while my head was in a fog
The next thing I saw was the vet with Thunder's chart
He gave Thunder a shot to sleep but it also stole my heart

Susan Maestas

We lost our only "child" Thunder as a result of a house fire along with his "grandmother" who was watching him for the night. He barely survived the fire, and had tried to save my mother-in-law's cat" He was found in the kitchen with the cat's tail in his mouth. He was trying to save his friend. He passed on 8 days later from a respiratory infection in CCU at the U of M. I've been told that although you may have many pets that you love in your life...you only have one "perfect child" Thunder was ours..He was abused before we adopted him and he had so much love to share with everyone!! He was our friend, protector, companion, playmate, and liked everyone he met! We miss him everyday, and can't wait to be reunited with him. WE'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER THUNDER!!!!!

Bill and Christina Lane

Tia, a wonderful companion and friend. She was able to handle almost everything I dished at her, long absences, long work hours, and moves across country (with the possible exception of this last one). You were loved from Day 1 and you will be sorely missed. I look forward to seeing you and your crazy antics again. I loved you and I was happy I could hold you as we ended your pain.

It's been two years since God called you to the bridge. You are still in our hearts, precious one! We hung your ornament on the tree this year same as always and remembered you.
We love you!

Brenda Harding

My dear little delicate flower, Miss Tia Maria, passed away on July 2, 2002. She had outlived two previous owners, the second of which was my lovely mother, Shellie Hamel, who passed away on April 25, 2002. Tia and my mother are now together again in heaven. I'm sure they are watching over me now, as well as over my four other beautiful dogs. May they both rest in peace.

Love,
Jackie Baker
& also Madison, Simone, Lucy & Bailey

After 17 wonderful years of companionship, my beloved Tia Miriya passed away. Words cannot describe the void her loss has left, though I firmly believe she is waiting to curl up on my lap again one day. I thank God for the years we had together and the memories that I shall cherish forever.

You will always be our "Pretty Girl" For 6 1/2 years you made us laugh so often and loved us unconditionally. You will be forever missed. You are now an angel in Heaven to watch over this Rawson household. We will always love you Tiara!! XOXO

Rich & Sue Rawson

Tiara was such a special dog. I always used to say to her, "Everybody loves Tiara". I believe that everyone who met Tiara instantly fell in love with her.

I would begin each day by singing Tiara the "Sunshine Song". I am not sure what the song is really called but I am sure that you know the song. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine....." I have a horrible singing voice and always sing off- key. Some days my voice was so bad that Tiara would turn and go the other way. But, on most days, she would sit next to me and let me finish our special song.

This morning the sun did not shine in our lives. Tiara's short but painful struggle with cancer ended last night. We miss you so much, Tiara, but we are so grateful for the thirteen years of wonderful memories of our special little Schipperke. Goodbye Tiara, our "sunshine pup".

Meine kleine Tich, Du bist nun schon über sieben Monate tot und ich kann es nicht verkraften. Ich möchte so gerne bei Dir sein. Ich liebe Dich so sehr. Du hast so viel Sonne in mein Leben gebracht und bist so früh gegangen. Warum, warum, warum? Wenn ich morgens wach werde, gilt mein erster Gedanke Dir und wenn ich einschlafe, ist mein letzter Gedanke bei Dir. Du fehlst mir so sehr. Meine Trauer ist so tief, mein Schmerz zerreisst mich. Ich möchte Dich so gerne wieder knuddeln, möchte Dein weiches kleines Körperchen wieder in meinen Armen spüren. Es geht mir nicht in den Kopf, daß dies nie wieder sein kann. Ich möchte Dir noch so viel in Deine süßen Öhrchen flüstern. Meine Süße, komm in meinen Träumen zu mir! I love you so much and my grief is endless. Deine Mammi vermisst Dich so sehr. I miss you so much!

Beate Gless

To my Tick. I love you very much. I know that you will be okay. You were a great cat. Your nickname that Heather gave you was kitty that matched the carpet. I love you.

Karen Hellickson

Tick,

You were only on this earth for 10 short days but you made an impact on those who were fortunate to see you. Your little body couldn't handle the internal complications and we chose to send you on to the bridge rather than have you suffer more. You are now with your brother Ringo and are no longer in pain. I will remember your blue eyes, your bravery, and your love. I miss you and love you and wish I could hold your tiny body once more. Run and play my little friend. Give a big kiss to Ringo and Schemp and tell them I miss them. Wait for me at the bridge. You are forever in my heart.

I have been involved with animal rescue for some time now, and it is always so terribly hard to lose one. Even if it is one I have picked up injured on the road and have to have put to sleep when I get it to the vet.

I always cry, and the vets I work with get upset and don't know what to do. I simply tell them that I will always cry for them, and not to worry. My feelings are that the people that abused, dumped or caused the animal to be homeless, hurt or whatever never cared about them, and never cried for them. Someone has to cry for them, so it is my job. With that job, I can let them know that someone does care for and about them, and will miss them, and I do.

Tonight, I lost one of my own, not just one of my own rescues, but one of my own.

She was found a year ago last October. She was born of a feral mother, in a field behind a small convenience store that serves our very small rural town. She was beautiful, and had spunk and personality.

Once I found out about her, I proceeded to catch her and her siblings, and I did.

Once they were caught in the trap, they were transported to the vet. While we initially thought these little kits were only 9/12 weeks old, including my vet. We were soon brought into a harsh realization that these little beings were much older. Although they were the same size as a little babe that had been dropped upon my front porch, they were actually around 5 months old, while the porch baby was 12.

Tie-Tie died tonight about 7:03. We tried desperately to save her. We have been feeding her since last Thursday, and we were beginning to see hope for survival. She was responding to us, and talking to us. She would purr for us when we washed her face after feeding her. She was sitting up just this morning.

Then she took a horrible turn for the worse and she died in my daughter's arms.

Tie-Tie, died from Feline Leukemia. It is a horrible disease. It is a horrible murderous disease. The sad thing is that she tested negative when younger, and the other cats are supposedly fine. It is my belief that she was born of a positive mother and in rare cases offspring of positive FeLeuk females can have the disease become full blown after some type of stress.

Tie-Tie, you are beautiful, you are a wonderful creature, and we will always miss you. You may be gone from this Earthly Plain, but you will forever be in my heart. I will always remember how you flaunted your precious calico attitude before everyone human, and daring any other animal to come near. You were a loner, and remained a loner, but always gave us humans love.

I can only say that after the past few days, I know your pain, and misery are gone, and you are now crossing over to a blessed place for blessed creatures.

I love you.

Crickett

Tiffamy I will always miss you you will always be in my heart forever my baby girl Jessica

Mama, I love & miss you with all my heart and soul. Remember what we talked about. My little Mama, here's a kiss on the nose from daddy. Wait for me and your daughters!

Ruben Parra

My longtime friend, Tiffany, 14 year old Chihuahua passed away on Friday night, November 15th. She has been loved by everyone that met her. She was a sweet, loving puppy. She protected my children, and cuddled with me through good and bad times, and was always my best friend. We will miss her, and love her always. Until we meet again Tiffany.. We love you.. Love Missy, Lia, Robert, and Faith. God Bless you sweetie.

For Tiffany,
Who was my best friend, the one who gave me unconditional love for 15+years. You were so smart and full of energy and you were always so much fun to play with. You had a unique personality and always had the brightest look in your eyes whenever I talked to you. You will live in my heart forever. I'll love you always Tiffany!!!
Love Mary.

We adopted Tiffany from the Michigan Humane Society in March, 1990.
They told us she was one year old and had been abused by her former owner. When we first brought her home she was so afraid and didn't know what LOVE was.
Over the years, Tiffany was an everyday part of our lives - waiting for us to come home from work, going for walks together, laying on the floor together watching TV, and going with us on vacations.
She was the best friend a person could have and returned so much love to us in return. We loved and cared for Tiffany until she drew her last breath at 11:30 PM on June 1 2002.
She is going to be missed so much by us but we know we all meet together one day at Rainbow Bridge and be a family again.

Love You Tiffany
Mom and Dad

I still mourn for her because of the circumstances of her death. Another little girl has earned a place in my arms and heart but the pain of losing Tiffy has not gone away.

Sarah Newland

We love you with all our hearts, and you will never be forgotten. I know you are still with me and, perhaps, we are even closer now because you are part of me. You know what's in my soul, because you are there. You know you will never be forgotten, because you are here. You know I will never stop loving you, because you will always be with me...in my heart. Forever is my promise, my beautiful Tiffer cat.

Tiffany
I got her when she was just a puppy and I was only five. She was my best friend growing up and we did everything together. She slept with me at night and lay by my side wherever I went. When we'd leave for vacation, the minute we got back she would cry and wag her tail so fast she just wanted to bad to see us and she wouldn't get out of our car, scared that we'd leave her again. She looked like a beagle but not with the droopy body. She was miniature terrier and dushhound. She was the best dog ever; never did anything wrong, except if you weren't outside with her and forgot to put her on her leash she'd run away. That's how she died. I let her out. I wasn't thinking and I let her out. A car hit her. She didn't die right away either. At least then I got to say my good-byes. A man who was running and saw everything happen ran to our house to tell my mom. My mom then went and picked her up. Tiffany could not use her back two legs, but with all her strength she started to drag herself back to our house. We took her to vet after vet and to the hospital only to find that she had blown out her knees or the equivalent to them. She could not sit, so it was hard to take her to the bathroom but she would never go in the house. Surgery was a possibility but was not a sure cure, and was about $8,000 dollars. We didn't know if she would even be able to walk, so we decided to put her to sleep. We kept her for a couple days so my brother from Minnesota could come home to say goodbye. We took her as a family to the vet and watched her shaking on the table and the next second she lay flat on the table. She was a fighter and the vet told us that her heart was still beating so they had to give her another shot. It was the hardest thing I've ever gone through and I miss my best friend. I still cry when I look at her picture or this Christmas was our first Christmas without her, and it was hard for me. I got a golden retriever puppy but he's been nothing but trouble. I love him but it just isn't the same. I miss Tiffany more than anything in the world, and she is my best friend. I hope that one day I will get to see her again, but I'm scared that I wouldn't. It's too hard for me to go on without her. I can't sleep the same because it isn't the same she was my angel and took care of me when I slept but now I don't know where she is. I hope she's looking after me now but I have no way of knowing. Tiffany I will never forget my first puppy that was and always will be my best friend! I love you, and I miss you!

Angie Feaster

Tiffany was a very special part of our family and will be missed terribly.

Karen Schubert

Tiffany, I love and miss you with all my heart and soul. You are my everything and I will be lost without you forever. You are always in my heart. I miss you so very much.

Traci

Sweet Angel, our Tiffany, you cannot imagine the giant void you left in our hearts after loving you for 13-1/2 years. We are still not over the sudden onset of your fatal illness. That day, we couldn't leave the hospital -- we were shedding tears and thinking thoughts about how we could or would go on without you in our lives. You gave so much and asked so little. Your love was ever-present and so much appreciated by us humans. We pray you are in a place that gives you sunlight on your adorable face, clean, warm bedding, and good food. We shall never forget the morning and evening rituals of breakfasts, snacks and special cuddling times. We hope there is a warm, loving person from our family in heaven holding you and loving you until we meet again. Love, Mommy

Tigar our friend you were a special friend you gave us unconditional love for 16 years. You were a very special cat. We will miss you.

Marc & Eda

He was such a sweet guy; diabetic for the final two years, willingly letting me give him his daily shots....always there for me, coming up on me every night. I miss him so much; we all do. Thank you, Tiger, for being such a good friend.

We lost Tiger September 14, 2002 to an extremely aggressive liver cancer. She was our first cat when we returned to the States from England in 1991. We were in a rental house while we looked for a house to buy and had been in the house about three months when we started noticing this extremely scrawny, tiny little grey tabby in the neighborhood. I started going out with a dish of food when I saw her and placing it about 10 feet away from me on the walk leading to the house. It only took about two weeks after that that I lured her into the house with a dish of tuna and the rest was as they say "history". Tiger loved being carried around and would tuck her head under my chin and go to sleep while I did housework (one handed of course). She was our little over imaginative "velcro" cat. She was the only cat I've ever seen that would "velcro" sideways across the furniture, or stick upside down on the footrest of the recliner and bat at anything (usually feet) on the top of the footrest. Even though she never topped 6lbs in weight (in a house with a 12 lb, 14lb and 22lb cat) she would go into "Sheena of the Jungle" mode and charge around the house at full speed and send all the other cats to high ground *grin*. Our favorite "Tiger Story" was when she walked into the living room and saw the small, bright green piece of knitted material I had made for them to play with and totally freaked. She arched her back, fluffed out to the maximum and growled and hissed at the 3" green "monster" like it was the worst thing in the world. Our biggest cat Scruffy (she was 22 lbs at the time) who is also our biggest chicken, gave Tiger a "LOOK", walked over to the material, picked it up in her paw, sniffed it, gave Tiger another look of total disgust, dropped the material and walked off. Tiger then proceeded to crawl on her belly toward the material, growling all the way, until she was just within paws reach, then "WHAM, WHAM, WHAM, WHAM", stop for a second, WHAM it a few more times, sniff it, then walk away as if nothing had happened. We were laughing so hard we hurt. We miss her horribly, but we've got myriad "Tiger Stories" to remember and smile about. http://img1.ranchoweb.com/images/mebop/tiger1.jpg

You are forever in my heart my dear Tiger. You were my best friend. I miss you so much, but I know one day I will see you again.
Mama loves you.....you are the best boy in the whole world. Love...Mommy

You were my sweet little angel and God just couldn't be without you any longer. He took you so suddenly...no one expected it. You were just going in for routine neutering and you never came back. I'll miss you so much and so will your little Persian playmate, Peeshe. So will Lola the mean Siamese, even though you guys never got along. I buried you with your favorite toy so you won't be bored and a picture of Peeshe so you won't be lonely. You did not suffer long...I hope you can forgive me little one!

Laurie

Tiger you were my best friend. You comforted me in difficult times and brought warmth to my heart. We loved and protected you and felt your pain at the end.

I miss you so very much Tiger and I will always remember you. I hope you are happy and safe at the Rainbow Bridge.

Like I always told you, you are the best cat in the world Tigy. I love you. I hope we will be together again.

Danny & Maria

We miss you so very much. We hope you are happy and well again like you were before you got sick. We hope you have lots of good food and water and a shady place to nap.

We love you very much Tiger and will never forget how you touched our lives.

Danny, Maria & Americo

I had to put my baby to sleep today. We brought home a box when we took in a cat. We buried him and planted a tree. But, it hurts really bad. Thanks to all of you for this site. Its helping me to say goodbye.

Rhoda Wallace

Our talking baby.

Patsy

We just want to say goodbye to Tiger our cat. We loved him much and he always brought so much joy to our family and friends. He made us laugh almost daily. He was warm and affectionate. Tiger will be sadly missed by us all. He is now home with Buster and Fluffy and many other cats and animals and no longer feels the pain of his illness that brought him down so weak his last few days with us. Tiger you little stinker you will be missed.

Tiger, Kia, Shirley, Karen, Jim and Jimmy

Tiger,

When you and your brother Rusty arrived to our house. It was apparent right from the start that you were very different than your brother Rusty. You were a people cat very vocal and quite opinionated. You and I seemed to take an instant liking to each other. You were also the one if we didn't see you for 30 minutes we knew to start looking for you, because you were up to something that would need our attention. Then you health started to fail and after a few surgeries it gave us a few more months with you. Then you went really down hill and we could no longer afford the surgeries. I was there to say goodbye to beloved friend. As the Vet injected you I saw you slip into sleep. My loss became almost overwhelming. It has been almost 2 yrs since your passing and I think about you everyday. Since your passing we have gotten another cat Slyvester which seems to act just you did it. But he is not you Tiger and I wonder sometimes if you were still alive how much havoc you two could cause together. You will be greatly missed my beloved friend.

Mommas Baby Girl, Princess. I'm so sorry I didn't know you were sick baby. Mommy and Daddy miss you so much. We will never forget you baby. You were a constant source of companionship. I love you my sweetheart. Pounce on mice and lay in the sunshine forever in heaven. Mommy and Daddy will be there to see you someday and when we do we will hold you and love you again. We miss you baby girl. Moose and Skechers miss you too.

My dear, dear Tiger came to me as a stray, a gift from God. He was a bundle of love and hugs, he brought me many smiles and much laughter. He stayed by my side after my cancer surgery and all the days since.... until his own health failed and he was called home to Heaven.

I will love him always cherish his memory in my heart for all the rest of my days... and celebrate when the day comes that he and I are able to cross the Rainbow Bridge together.

Sally Cress

Tiger, you took a piece of my heart when you left and I'll always keep a piece of your heart in mine. I will always love you and I'll see you again at the Rainbow Bridge.

My Dear Tiger,
I received you as a child at the age of 8 years old. Today, I am a Mother at 30 years of age and had to make a very big decision. Today, is the day that I made the decision to put you to sleep. I know I made the right decision. I hope that you were about to find some peace. I know that you are in a better place now. I will always love and miss you very much. Love your Mommy,

Roxanne Gonzalez

Tiger came into my life 3 years ago after my divorce and when I was at the lowest point in my life. Although I technically "rescued" him from a shelter, in a sense, we both rescued each other. He was a true friend who will always live in my heart.

R. H. King

From the day you were born and the following 14 1/2 years we were so lucky to have you. Just a little 6 pound thing. You fought cancer twice, you were always a fighter. We love you and miss you so much. How could someone so tiny steal my heart so much? Your little grave is outside our window, with a little cross Daddy made.

Tiger Lilly was any excellent, magical cat. We lived together 24/7 for over six years. I had to move her away from my home because neighbors complained that she left paw prints on their damn SUV.

Damn their eyes.

I moved her to my office and she was fine for a few days. Then I let her go out into the fenced yard. She found a way out. She never came back. I just know she is dead. I love her so much. I miss her. I feel like I going to die.

Daniel F

Tiger

We miss and love you and think of you always. We hope you are happy and you and Nan are looking after each other. I miss your cuddles and smiles and wish I could cuddle you and stroke your soft fur. I hope you feel the love we are all sending you
Love Suz

Tigg, you were the sweetest cat anyone could ask for. I only wish I had found you sooner so I could have prevented the suffering that you endured earlier in your life. You will always be in our hearts, along with all the priceless lessons you taught us, and the unconditional, gentle love you gave to everyone who crossed your path. You were truly a light in our world.

Love, your Family

He had so much love to share.

Brenda Voss

Five years ago, Tigger moved into the neighborhood and shyly introduced himself to all who cared to stop. Having been strictly an outdoors cat for many years, his body already bore the grim legacy of hardship and neglect. Still, hope and courage shone in his eyes when he came running, cold and hungry, but with soaring spirit, to accept our invitation. Tigger had found a real home. Calm and deferential, this little gentleman quickly endeared himself to our other furry friends, and his boundless capacity for love and affection brought great joy and happiness to our lives. Although his ailments were incurable, his trust, optimism and absolute determination to enjoy every moment to the fullest, aided by wonderful doctors and superb medicines, made him a supremely happy cat with not a care in the world. In the end, when his time had come to leave us, he quietly slipped away moments before we got to him. Perhaps this was his ultimate gift, depriving us of saying goodbye, but sparing us the agony of watching him go. We are deeply grateful that he chose to share his life with us and he will always be loved and live in our hearts.

Helga Leis

Tigger was a special animal. He came into my life as fast as he left it. He would travel long distances to be with me from his original owners. Finally, one day they just decided to let him stay. He played, he cuddled, he loved and he slept for about 4 years of my life. It was really the first time I felt real love for an animal. Tigger died suddenly in May and an autopsy didn't really recover the cause. He is missed everyday. Fortunately, I have another cat now that I pass that love on to.

Bob Adams

Tig you were the best little buddy to spend time with. I miss our conversations, you curled up at feet at night and play time. I know you are not suffering anymore. Love you, Mom.

Tigger was a wonderful kitty. Her meow was the cutest, squeakiest little noise and she would always do cute things to get attention. She would flop over on her back with her paws curled down and stare at us. When someone would approach her to rub her, sometimes she'd leap up and race away. (Sometimes she'd even fall asleep on her back!)

Every morning when I woke up for school and would be waking up while I used the restroom, she'd push the door open and bounce up to me with her squeaky meow and wouldn't leave until I was finished. She'd then lead me into the kitchen to fill up the cat food bowl if it was empty (a trick she trained the whole family to do!)

Her cuddle buddy was one of our other cats, Timmy. We have countless photos of the two curled up sleeping or grooming each other. They formed one giant, purring, cuddly fur ball.

Tigger was an irreplaceable cat who hopefully enjoyed her life with our family. From the day we brought the energetic kitten from the pet shelter to when she died in an oxygen cage at the vet's ER, I hope Tigger enjoyed her life in our family. Not a day goes by when I miss seeing her or feeling her warm body on my legs, but I know she's happily eating cans of tuna and playing with catnip mice in the big litter box in the sky. =)

Tigger was the oldest and the wisest of the three. She was the sweetest baby a Mommy could hope for. She cuddled with everyone, because her heart was so full of love.

Carol Yennie

To my beloved kitty of 21 years - You had so much of my heart and my love. You were cuddly, faithful, strong, fast, sqirmy, and smart. You could meow "mom" in your senior years when you wanted my attention. You liked to sit in my lap, and to cuddle close by my side at night. I miss you so much, and hope to meet Jesus, you, Hobo and Sandy in Heaven. Love, Beverly Ann Johnson and your friends Samantha, Lamb, and Blackie

My dearest Tigger... He was so fat and lazy... With a personality of his own... I will never forget him, for he was my best friend for so so long, when I didn't have anyone to play with me or be there when I cried. I'm going to miss you, cat. I'm going to miss your psychopathic ways of biting me and fussing at me for unknown reasons. I'm going to miss the pawprints on my black car, for which I scolded you for making. I'm going to miss the conglomerations of cat hair that were located everywhere. I'm going to even miss your "presents" left at our doorstep with the feathers scattered everywhere. I know you had to go, Tigger, but I will miss you and love you forever!

Love forever and ever, Brooke

Tigger was the best cat in the world. Total unconditional love..... We loved the way she chirped at us when happy, her little meow while sitting on our bed when she wanted "cuddle time"--the only place she would cuddle. We will never forget her never ending "gifts" she brought to us -- the wildlife in our neighbourhood are now at peace. We miss her dearly but we know she is in a better place as she was very sick at the end.

She is now under her favorite tree buried with her catnip mouse, one of her "kinder" toys, and my pajamas--ohhh how she loved my flannel jammies, she licked and sucked them and I would roll over and have a totally soaked sleeve or leg.

I know she is now at the Rainbow Bridge with Meow-Meow and Midnight and that they are taking good care of her. We will see you again (all 3 of you).

Miss you baby and you are forever in our hearts. Daddy, Mommy, Shelby and Max

Tigger, my little fat boy, we love you so much. I remember the day Tara brought you home to me, three years ago. She called me earlier that day and said her boss found a kitten in the dumpster. I came home to this thin little cat with these long rabbit feet. You were so cute though. You quickly eat and eat as much food as you could, almost like you were afraid you might have to go back out side alone. This is how you became our fat boy. You were the kindest cat I have ever met in my life time, so playful, the way you would bite our feet under the covers. So lovable, you always gave us kisses and would lay purring on one of our chest for hours. When the Feline Leukemia kicked in you became less playful, but no less lovable. I am so sorry you got sick, if we could have done anything to prevent it we would have. I knew when I woke up that today was the day your suffering had to end. You always cared For the other cats Louis, Pan, Zeus, and Tommy are forever grateful to you for being there daddy and giving them baths on a regular basis. Thank you Tigger for all the love you gave Tara and I although you are gone, you are not forgotten, you will remain in our hearts forever, until we meet you on the rainbow bridge.

Tara Greenville

Once upon a time there was a cat. A cat that was loved throughout the land. and this cat's name was Tigger. Yes, how we'll miss you our beloved cat, may you catch many mice (and other rodents) in Rainbow Bridge. Give our love to Duster, the poor mute, and the Dogs Moss and Tolley. And who could forget the numerous hamsters, Saphire, Ruby, Bugget, Tutankhamun, Muffin, Coffee, Toffee, Salt, Vinegar, Pepper, Solomon, RIP, Lemon, Fluffy (how could we forget that one?!), Ivory, Ebony, Taragon, Cinnamon, and Basil and Spike the Guinea Pig (who died after having an unfortunate meeting with a thermometer). Bless you all.

Sarah, Hannah and Matthew Law

Tigger was an extraordinary cat, the feline equivalent of a dog. He was a very personable and loving cat. We will always miss him.

Kathy Martin

Tigger adopted me when he was a homeless orphan about 5 weeks old. He was all eyes and ears, and a precious gift from God. He gave me 13 years of unconditional love, and I miss him so much. Tigger, may you enjoy the fresh air and green grass at the rainbow bridge until we meet again.

Vicki

Tigger was the sweetest cat, I will miss him dearly.

Loretta Weiss

Tig tig's mommy : Danita

Our Tigger was just like the real Tigger.... Always causing trouble. She was a part of our lives for 10 years- a long time for a bunny! She was fine yesterday morning but we found her unconscious last night. Her little heart was still beating so we rushed her to the emergency vet to be put to sleep. But she died in the car before we got there. I stayed home from work today & called to have her cremated b/c the ground is too frozen to bury her. I'm sure my boss doesn't understand b/c it "was just a rabbit" but she was a great pet. She even used to lick my tears when I'd cry- I could use that today! We usually called her "fat-tig" or Pigger" because she was huge...even the day she died she had her usual big appetite! I can't believe how long she lived & how much we both miss her already.

Len & Sue Myers

Tig was such a special cat. I got him when he was only 6 weeks old. The house isn't the same without him. Even my other cat Titus has changed since Tig died. I still cry when I think about him. He died from an aneurysm. Tig was so very graceful and proper. He always made me smile. I will see you again one day, Tig. I love you!!

Amy

You were found wandering the roadways and came to take a place in our hearts. I hope we gave you some measure of love and security. We are so sorry for your loss - we still feel it was our fault some how and we will never make those mistakes again. We loved you.

Diana Miner

Tigress thank you for coming into our lives. Your personality and love has impacted us more than we expected. Your gestures towards the last few weeks and days of your life touched us even more. We know you are in a better and happier place but we just miss you very much and want your presence around us. We really love you and are truly grateful for the experience of having known you.

Tig-tig... we miss you so much and it's only been a few hours since you left us. My heart is broken, Tigger, I don't know what I'll do without you! You were such a sweet kitty and I know you really weren't ready to go right now. Momma loves you tig-tig and I will never forget you!

Tiki, we will miss you so much. Stripes, too. I will always remember your wonderful voice, your words, your personality. You were really in charge around here. I hope you are with mother, singing for her now. Tiki, pretty bird, I will love you forever.

Georgeanne

I loved my cat, Tikki, so very much. The family I rent from had just lost their cat of 13 years when we acquired Tikki.

I had also, this year, broke off my marriage of 13 years, been disfellowshipped from the church I had attended (lost all friendships associated with the church), and also lost my first boyfriend since my marriage break up. Tikki was there for me during the hard times and provided me with the love I so much needed. He made me feel alive and at peace again....no other animal has ever made me feel this way even though I grew up with cats all my life.

This past friday, a wild animal took Tikki's life from me. I felt the loss before even knowing what had happened. That morning I woke up and felt like someone had just ripped a part of my inner being from me...and then the phone rang. The neighbor called and told us the bad news and even though I know he's gone, I still look out the door thinking he is just going to come back like nothing had happened.

I miss you so very much, Tikki. You provided me (and the rest of the family) with so much love and companionship. I hope that you are in a safe place now and very happy. I wish I could have said goodbye and let you know how much you had meant to me. Words can't describe the pain I'm feeling from your loss and how much I loved you being "My Tikki". I pray and hope that our paths will cross again so I can return the love you had shown towards me in my time of need.

I will never forget you, Tikki...I will love you and miss you for the rest of my life.... Anne

Tikki was a dear friend and companion who gave all those around him unconditional love and joy. Every morning, noon and night he would greet us with his little tongue and tail wagging at the same beat. He would follow us around the apartment to ensure that we could see his happy smile. My husband said that he never met a dog who smiled as much as Tikki, and smiling is something that he did best. However, he stopped smiling in the early morning of September 23rd. He unselfishly died by himself in our living room because he didn't want to cause us pain. He lived his life always caring about me, my husband, my sister, my mother and my father. He only cared about our happiness because that was his happiness. We will miss him so much and he will live in our hearts forever. Tikki, thank you for all the happiness you brought to our lives, we only hope that we were able to love you as much as you loved all of us.

Tiko, my sweet love, my dogchild...I am devastated and heartbroken. You passed away on New Year's Day at 6 pm. You gave us so much love for 15 years, so much affection, comfort, and friendship, as we did you. How you always wanted to be near us, and us with you! I was madly, deeply, and passionately in love with you! Fifteen years was not enough time for the love and friendship we shared. You triumphed over illness in recent years, and came through each one like a trooper. Sadly, over time, your body could take no more.

I know that God was with you and us as we comforted, hugged, kissed, cried, and talked to you in your last hours. I couldn't bear to leave you. I could only thank God for letting us know you would suffer no more, go in peace, and go to the Rainbow Bridge, where God watches over all His creatures.

There are no words to describe the pain, the anguish to have lost you. Our lives will never be the same. Tiko, you gave us the love of a lifetime. You beautiful, gentle, innocent, loving creature---God's gift to us, and you always will be. You will live forever in our hearts, my gentle boy. If you ever want to let me know you're okay, I'm right here, and I will know it's you. I am always thinking about you. I have your pictures with me always. I will love you forever, and I know one day we will all be together for eternity. --Your loving parents, Donna, Jean, and Frank (Mommy, Mommy, & Daddy)

Tilley was given to me by a family who was going to move and they came back. The family knew I loved Tilley so much. They thought of her as just a dog, she was family to me. She was always by my side, when I cried she was always there, when happy there she was too. When they came back I just couldn't give her back, because she was just a dog to them, eating off the floor so the floor could be clean. Tilley had some great yrs with me. I will always have her in my heart and I will see her over the rainbow.

Rebecca

She was a 'junkyard dog'-her owner didn't want her. Skinny, shaggy & thin, we bathed her, spayed & vaccinated her. Best dog we've ever had! After 10 affectionate years, she became sick. No amount of money & medication helped. She was put down 4 days before Christmas, 2002. We miss you, Tillie, & will carry you in our hearts as long as we live.

C. Schuett

I miss you Tillie. I'm so sorry that you died. I hope you had a good life and enjoyed getting to spend time with us. Thomas feels very bad about you leaving us. He has some guilt and feels like maybe he made you die. Let him know somehow that he didn't cause your death. Maybe we should have protected you more but if we had, your life might not have been as fun. What I wouldn't give to hear your alarm call. I know I asked you to stop it at times because it was loud, but you could make that sound for 24 hours straight and I would enjoy every minute of it if I could just have you back. I think all of the other birds will miss you too. Mellow so wanted you to feel better last night and was trying to cheer you up. Bella even felt bad for you and wanted to be on the perch next to you. Static was there with you throughout your fall wanting to make sure you were ok. She was so worried about you. Everyone cared about you and we loved you so. I think even the cats will miss you. You were my little baby, Tillie. I loved how you tried to preen the other birds but you were just so skiddish that you scared them. Your non-social skills made you our little Tillie and we will miss you. We wish you the best in your new life and hope you don't forget us. We will always remember you. I hope we can find the picture we took of you. I think we will.

All the best and all of our love, Lori and Thomas Mellow, Bella, Static Sophie and Boscoe

Tillis, we miss and love you! But now you're free of pain and waiting on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. You've touched so many people's lives and will be in all their memories forever. We love you!

Thanks!

Karen Aust

You were so little, but you leave a big hole in our hearts.

Martha Kneib

Goodbye Little Man......I will always love you.

C.J. Young

Tilt was a very loving rat. I got him in the summer of 2001. I did not intend to get a rat when I visited this pet store. But when I saw him, he stole my heart. I was told he was only about 6 months. They also mentioned that as a baby, he had suffered a stroke, but it would not affect his life span in any way. Well I was lied to. But I feel that me adopting him gave him a wonderful life. He was kept in a very small cage at the pet store with three other rats. But he had a much happier life when he came to live with me. Today, Tilt went to live with God. I know he is happy eating his big cheese ball in the sky. The memory of Tilt will live forever!

Now I lay him down to sleep,
I pray the Lord, his soul to keep.
See him safely through the night,
and wake him with the morning light;
God, bless my baby forever.

Timber,
You brought us Great Joy ! Sadly missed
By Buster, Mechele, Heather & Roy

I miss you so much Timber. It hasn't been that long since you died, but I wish so much that I would have gotten to say goodbye to you. I tried everything to get you better honey, but you were sick. I think about you all the time, you were my best friend, you were always there for me whenever I needed you. Whenever I was crying you'd be there by my side to comfort me, and now I cry when I think about how much I miss you, and I wish so much that you were here next to me again. I love you so much Timby, and I will never ever forget you. You were the greatest dog anyone could ever ask for and I love you with all my heart.
Love Meghan

We love and miss you already fuzzy!! The house isn't the same without you!
WE know you are no longer hurting old guy, and we look forward to seeing you romp and play across the rainbow bridge!

Kim and Bob Swaisgood

He would have been 23 this December 2002. We miss him with all our hearts and know that he is happy now. We miss how he would bark the minute the pizza delivery guy pulled up and how he loved to lay in his sunbeam. We love you Timbo and hope that you are living it up with all the pizza crusts you could want.
Love Mom & Dad
(Heather & Rick)

Timi,
You were a precious and rambunctious dog all the way to the end, you never figured out you were getting old. I miss you and your wonderful companionship, but I know you are now with itsy bitsy and are having a great reunion. I will always love and miss you. You human mommy Tina

Timmy, I miss you so much. You were a dog who could see into our hearts and make us glad and happy to know you. I used to love to watch and listen to you play with your squeaky toys. You took your time warming up to us, but when you did, you stole our hearts! You were so intelligent and you had the ability to put us at ease with your good sense of humor. You were taken from us too soon and it tore me up inside. Sometimes there is no reason and we just have to accept what is given to us. I regret that you never had the chance to run free along Cache Creek and play with the "big dogs" in your short life. I know that you are watching over us in heaven. Please look for Houndex and be her friend. She should be arriving at the bridge any time now. She will need your help and friendship. I look forward to the day when we can be reunited. You were a great dog! Now I have Jackson to help me through the tough times. You would like him. I know you'll get to meet him someday. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of all the happiness and joy you brought into my life. I miss you very much. Have fun at the bridge and look for me to once again be with you. I love you Tim.
Your human dad, Rich Henderson

Timmy I miss you so much. Everyday I think of you hoping that you are okay. I want you to know that you were everything to me... you were my son and I loved you more than I have ever loved anyone. You brought light into my life and gave me smiles and laughs day in and day out. God took you too soon. I only wish that you could have lived a long life before your illness took you from me. You were my everything and you always will be. I miss your caring eyes and your loving heart. I miss your excitement to greet me everytime I came home. I miss the way you would burp in my face and then smile, to make me laugh. I miss hearing you squeak your stuffed animals. And most of all I miss the love in your heart. You were my angel... you came into my life when I needed you most, and you brought me more joy than anyone ever could. You were the light of my life and my first son. Mommy misses you, and I can't wait until we can be together again, come visit me and watch over me.... I love you my little " Puka Bear" Love always... your Mom,
Jessica Henderson

My day didn't start off too too good...I volunteer at the local Humane Society and they had to put down one of the cats...he had a upper respiratory infection and had tried him on a few different things and it wasn't getting any better...they couldn't put him with the rest of the cats in case it spread...and they hadn't had any success in adopting him out...he'd been there around 6 months...he was absolutely a sweetheart...I'm glad I went in today because I was able to say goodbye to him and give him a kiss and say a prayer for him...I spent about 20 minutes with him yesterday brushing him...he loved being brushed, scratched and patted...his name was Timmy...I know that he is now healthy and happy...and being well taken care of and loved.
Goodbye Timmy...I will miss you :)

Stacey

There is not a day we don't think of you and your friend Monty misses you to. I hope you have passed over the bridge and Myra your owner is with you...what a blessing you were for us and honor to take you until you could join your owner. Love Mommy and Daddy Phelan

For my beloved Timothy. 15 years have come and gone. Too fast. I loved you and will miss you. The bed is too big now.
Who will knock things off my dresser early in the morning? Who will be there when everyone else is out? Who will follow me around the garden in the summer? Who will follow me around the house, always there. I miss you and it has only been hours. A week before Christmas and you are gone.
This hurts to much. There are many memories. Good and funny ones. I will miss you my sweet boy. Sleep now my friend, you do it well.

Tiny Tina died today after struggling to live for eight weeks. She was grey and white and I loved her. She tried really hard, but was too weak to do much but sit and gaze at me with her sweet blue eyes. I tried too to help her thrive, but it wasn't meant to be. Tina, I was only your foster mother but I loved you and I am devastated. I'm sorry they wouldn't let me say goodbye to you at the vet's office. You are too good for this world, little baby.

Carol Willette

My pug dog Tina Marie, or " T T" was her nick name died peacefully on 12/22/02 at the age of 12 years. She was a special needs rescue that no one would adopt, as she was only able to walk with the aid of her wheely cart. She had also been debarked by her previous owner. I fell in love with her gentle eyes, and her loving way and took her into my heart. What she lacked in ability to walk and bark, she greatly made up in her ability to show love. She taught strength and endurance to all that met her, and wherever we went, people would flock to her side and Tina would shower them with kisses. My Tina Marie, I miss you greatly - life will never be the same without you by my side. I love you dear TT. your mom, Patti Levay

Dearest darling Tingtongtang (Kucing)
You left us this morning little girl. Thanks for giving us nine months of happiness and your gorgeous personality. We're so sorry you couldn't be part of our family for a longer time, but thank you very much for your beautiful spirit and extraordinarily happy outlook on life. We'll miss you so much little one, you will always be our Anak Kucing (Child Cat).
Blessed be Kucing, we love you always.

Avalon M. Sperring

Our dear sweet boy, we miss you, I think we wont ever get over missing you, your passing has shattered our hearts and taken pieces of it with you, bless you for the joy you gave to all who knew you.

Bruce & Brenda

Tribute to Tinker, my little companion who provided much amusement and entertainment for the past two years.
I have missed you so much in the last six days while you were with the Vet. The house seems so empty without you but at least I know that you're no longer suffering. I hope it was peaceful when you passed away and I am so sorry you were on your own when you did. I hope you understand that we had to try everything and that you were in the best place and that I never stopped thinking of you the whole time. My heart just feels like breaking and I can't bear the thought of never seeing you again. I miss your squeaking for attention and the way you let me know when you were annoyed, I miss your little acrobatics and miss saying goodnight to you and I know Stephen feels the same way too.

You are forever in our hearts, my little babe!!

Donna (Mam)

My beautiful darling Tinker, very much loved and missed by her mum, granma, granpa, auntie, and her three sisters and four brothers. Sleep peacefully darling, I'll see you soon.

Goodbye to my special little dog Tinker. I thank God for the blessing you were in my life for over 15 years! You were my constant faithful companion and best friend. You gave me unconditional love . You will always be in my heart my precious little girl. I miss you terribly, but know you are in a better place at Rainbow Bridge, playing with all your little friends. Love you forever, "mama" Marion

Tinker was the best friend anyone could ever ask for. My father was Tinker's mother's person, and then he became Tinker's person. When my husband, children, and I moved back to Houston, Tinker adopted us as well. For some special, unknown reason she chose me as her most special person. Every day she greeted me with love, kisses, and jumps the minute she saw me. It didn't matter if I'd been gone an hour or a month. Even after she could no longer see or hear, Tinker always knew when I came into the room. Tinker was a dear friend and a true member of the family. Tinker, we miss you; you are in our hearts forever. I imagine you are running in places that look just like the lease and that you are seeing you and Daddy in that big, beautiful countryside. Have fun, my funny, furry friend. I'll see you again someday.

Avery Davis-Fletcher

A year has passed now - a painful year without you.  
Time is supposed to heal but the feeling of loss has not eased.  
You were taken from me so quickly, just twenty four hours of sickness and you were gone.  
People say 'just a bird' .............. little do they know.  
I have your pictures on my board so I 'see' you every night.  
How I miss you my angel, I miss you talking to me , I miss the rustle of your feathers, I miss the feel of your little feet on my hand.  
Fly high my darling, fly free........... just be there at the bridge to meet me.  
Luv from your mum.

Meryl Fitzgerald

We found you too late and had you - not long enough. love you forever

Paul and Pam Flynn

A friend for life. A perfect dog in every way to every one. Tiny is so special. He brought life, love, and light to me and out whole family.

Howard Wright

Tiny was a real good friend and she was my Baby,
She was my little girl, My kid! She would be there waiting for me when I would come home from work, she gave me the best 13 years until the early morning of August 16th 2002
It Happened within 5 mins She hag a heart attack and died right in my arms, I wasn't expecting this, Now she's Free
And Home with Her sister That Passed in August 27,2000,Pepper,May they both be at peace together till the one day we meet again!!

Frederick Wm Carpenter

Tiny was our dog, our brother, and our son. Who would have ever thought that that little dog would be so instrumental in shaping our lives. I guess that's what makes it so difficult now, to carry on without his unconditional loving influence. He lived a life of no regrets, he lived life to its fullest. The last thing he has taught us is to live life to the utmost of our abilities - to have no regrets. After all, the day will come when you'll meet us at the bridge and take us home - the only problem will be having macaroni for every meal - but that's a fair trade off for being with you again my love. It's a bit unnerving knowing our guardian angel is a four pound chihuahua, but I wouldn't change it for anything, I just hope you're awake enough to watch over us:) Rest easy buddy, you're forever in our hearts as we are in yours. We will always love you.

Love always Dad, Mom, Terri Lynn, Reg and Kimberly

Tiny,
Your spirit is always with us, Stella, Tarek, Mom, Assem, Dad, myself and anyone who has ever met and loved you misses you very much. We all grieve and hurt because of the cruel and violent way you passed on.
Until we meet again one day, I thank you for the three most wonderful years of your life, that you gave to my life. I could not have asked for a better companion during those three difficult years of my depression. You kept me alive and brought love back into my dead heart and soul. I hope you are now in the company of your sister Sandy and my previous pets, Rocky, as well as Whiskey, and to the ones who passed on before I could even name them. Say hello to them all and yourself, and please don't stop visiting us whether in spirit, or in dreams.
I love you more than any word can describe.
You will always have my heart.
Yours,
Yasmine.

Our Dearest Tiny (our little girl), we will never forget you and you will always hold a special place in our hearts. She was funny looking, she always had something to say, she never knew when to get out from under our feet, she did not know not to sharpen her claws on our shoes, she did not know that the tv really was not on, it was us in the background, she definitely did not realize that she was a cat.

Kristie Loggie

Tinyboo!! A beautiful kitten whose short life was so filled with adventure and wonder... From timid and shy grown into bold and brave. How blessed I am to have known, loved, and been loved by her. Let her spirit go on in the same joyful way she lived.

Michelle Doram

We miss you so much our Tinykins.

Don & Judy Mosteiro

Tipper was 18yrs and 1 month old. She'll need all her friends up there help her walk until she drinks from the fountain of youth.

Beth, Kaitlyn & Graham

I just want to say that Tippi was the most important "person" in my life for a very short time, and during that time I was the happiest I've ever been. I will never forget her.

Lesley

We miss Tippy so much!! She was the BEST dog ever. She was with us for 13 wonderful years. She is greatly missed by her family, her doggie friend, Daisy and her cat friends, Cricket, LC, Pepper, Mickey and Carmel. We will ALWAYS love you!!

Holly, Bill, Rebekah and Katie

You were my first animal companion and I miss you terribly. My childhood and teenage years were truly blessed by you.

Maryeileen

I love you Tippy. You watched me go from a 3 year old to a teenager, and you were the first and only dog I've ever had. You will never be forgotten, and will always live on forever in my heart. Someday we will meet again.

Good night God bless you my lovely Yorkie girl
Please wait for us at the Bridge
Love you

Jean

Tippy was a beagle "princess", probably the only one in existence. A sweet, kind and loving little girl who we loved so much.

Bill & Linda Carson

Tippy was a special dog, and a very sweet one! She belonged to my grandparents and touched their lives deeply. I know she is at a better place now and pain free. She is reunited with her friend Buffy who was my childhood dog and is also missed very much still to this day. I know they are playing & jumping around happily with many new friends.

Becky Cisneros & Family

My best friend and a part of me that is now missing since she is not here in body. But she will always watch over and be with me in spirit.

Melissa Williams

Tippy, We miss you so terribly. Our hearts are with you in heaven, but filled with pain on earth without your love. You have brought so much love into our home, we could never replace you, you are still here in spirit. Mommie and Daddy miss you and love you very much...

Lori and Kevin Bowsher

We loved him dearly & will forever hold him in our hearts

Donna Gogo

Tippy was one of the most gentle souls I have ever met. She was a tall dog. She was a silly dog. She was a hero dog when she saved Trish's life from the burglar. A sweetheart to the end. She fell ill Monday night 9/30 with an inoperable cancer. Sorry to have to help her go, but it was for the best. Say a prayer for her little sister Lisin (Samoyed, 11 years old) who misses her more than I can imagine.

Michael Medley

We lost our brave girl to cancer on 11/20/02 just a month shy of her 12th birthday. Tira has been a part of our lives and hearts since bringing her home at 7 weeks of age. She is missed terribly and our hearts are broken. She is with God and all of our loved ones who have crossed over. We love you Tira. God Bless you our Sweet Angel.

Bill & Linda

I just found out tonight the dog I grew up with, leaned on when I was depressed, was killed by a stray in my parent's neighborhood. I was waiting to get my own house, I rent an apartment right now, to move her to be with me. I will miss her. I love you Tisha... -Rob

My little Tito, you were so loved and now so missed. Taken from us by someone with a gun. We found you behind the house. We love you baby, you were the best pet one could ever hope to have. We still have our memories and nobody can take that from us. I know you are in a better place, please meet us at the bridge. Our Teeterhead. Love, your family.

Dear Sweet 'T.J.',

You are The Finest Gentleman there ever was and I was truly blessed to be chosen by you. You are tucked in my heart forever.
I LOVE YOU, 'T.J.', and know that you are my shining guiding Star above, always there for ALL of us...gently guiding us h.o.m.e...

Mom, Dad, Daryl, Shawna the 3Katz,2...friends

Gin

TJ, you are being greatly missed. I want you to know how much I loved you and will always love you. You hold a special place in my heart that no kitty will ever fill. I will miss you taking showers with me, playing fetch with me, sleeping with me, and above all happily greeting me whenever I came home from school. I want you to know that I have Sarah now, but she is not here to replace you, but to take in the love that I had the privilege sharing with you. I will never forget you and please be nice to those other kitties up there... love you lots "little T!"

I saw you in to this world, little buddy, and thank God I was there to see you leave.
You took a piece of our hearts when you left us.
You will always be missed, Teej.
I love you, always.

Becky

We love you TK, we miss so much though it's been only 2 hours since we lost you. Romp in the fields sweetie, chase butterflies and know we love you and will see you again one day.

Patty & Pat

Toady we all love you and we want you to rest in peace
W/love Sissi "Corrie", momma, and dadda

Tobbi was such a big part of our lives. She was always kind, loving and a mind of her own. I loved coming home to her every night because she would race out the back door with tail wagging and big kisses. My husband is home all day and she was a wonderful companion and comfort to him. She is with us always in thought and heart and I know will be waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.

God blessed me with this special boy when I needed him the most. He was with me 24/7, and I miss him dearly, my heart hurts and our bed is empty. I know GOD needed a special Angel when he took him from me. Someday we will be together again, and both of us will be happy for an eternity.

Pat Wylie

Para o coelhinho mais fofinho do mundo, com muito amor

Tobias you are very much missed. I will always hold you close to my heart. Wait for me at the bridge when God calls me home I well see you again. Momma loves and misses you very much. Thank for being in my life for the short two years you where here. This is not good by. It's just for a time and I will meet you at the bridge, Love mom

Carol McCluskie

Tobie, you were my girl. From the time I picked you up when you were a four pound baby, to the time you lied in my lap for the last time and took your last breath 8 years later. I rocked you to sleep when you were a baby, wrapped you up in your blanky when you were cold, and in your final days, crushed ice and fed it to you on a spoon so you wouldn't be thirsty. I sat on the floor and held you in my arms, you rested your head on my hand. You looked at me one last time, and went to sleep.
You gave me so much love in your short life, and I am so lonely without you. I know I did the right thing, but it is so hard. Christmas is coming and I am dreading it. Without you nothing will ever be the same.
I will always love you. My baby, my girl, my best friend ever.

Tobie, you were a special boy. From the moment I first set eyes on you right till the end you were precious. Besides being adorable you had a special quality of showing me you loved me by wanting to be with me all the time. While your brothers and sisters played around the room dancing and fighting, you would search me out. I'm sorry you had to wait so long for peace in the end but I wasn't willing to give up on you while there was still testing to be done. All the blood tests, fluids, injections, medications, and force feedings didn't do any good and I watched you shrink away to skin and bones before my eyes. I am so sorry I let it get to that point. At least now you are able to play again. (Do you still eat in heaven, my little "munch mouth"?)
I love you Tobie. I miss you. You have plenty of company where you are with Meeko joining you just one week later, followed by Pixie and Rikki this year. I hope you will all play nice (no fighting!) until I can see you again.

Karen

She was the best friend and roommate that I ever had.

Jana, Gary, Garrett and Jamieshe

She was loved.

Vickie Pope

My Dearest Toby, I miss you so much. It has been one full year now since I last held you in my arms and my heart still aches like it did the day we had to make that painful decision to let you go. You were so much more than a cat to us. For more than 15-1/2 years you really were our child, our baby. You were so beautiful and such a sweet boy. We were so blessed to have you in our lives. Thank you for all the love and the joy you gave us. We have many happy memories but now there are tears too - lots of tears, still. I used to say that I had so many tears for Toby but those tears are really for me because I miss you so much. I love you, my precious love-bug, with all my heart and I always will.
Mom

DEAR TOBY,
For 19 1/2 years you made my life so happy. It was you that helped me through the death of my best friend, my stepfather, my mother that acquired acute leukemia and past away within 2 months recently. You waited patiently at home when I stayed with mom in the hospital for 6 weeks. You licked every tear from my face to tell me that even though the people that loved me are gone you were still their. And as my vet said you loved me dearly. When you got ill and had I.V. the last 2 weeks. I would not have it any other way but to sit with you in my arms. I loved you, Toby and I know the feeling was mutual. I never thought you would die. My heart is broken. You were always their for me. You passed away in your sleep. I listened to that little heart of yours with the stethoscope and asked God not to take you. I love you Toby and hope you are in mom's arms in heaven. She will take care of you know until we meet again. I miss hugging and kissing you and you returning the licks.
P.S. ALL MY LOVE, SHIRLEY

Shirley Delis

My darling boy we love you I am sure Lady is waiting for you. Till we meet again.

Ann King

Beloved friend sorely missed.

Nancy Green

To my little shadow...I love you and know you are in a better place.

Sabra Hennessee

I didn't know Toby very long, Toby was my foster dog. My wife saw Toby when we were helping to wash dogs for adoption last Sunday. He was very skinny and very shy. He was a sweet dog we think he may have been about 5 months old. I was out walking him yesterday, when the leash had slipped from my fingers and when I tried to get Toby and ran from me, into the woods. I caught up with him and almost caught him when he found a whole in a fence and bounded away from me. I drove through the nearby neighborhoods in hopes of finding him, with no luck.

Just a few minutes ago my wife called and said that Toby had been hit by a car. I'm so sorry Toby, I just wish that I could have gotten you to trust people again I know you would have made a wonderful pet for some family.

I'm so sorry, I hope to see you at the rainbow bridge.

Love

Your foster Mom and Dad

To my familiar, my Toby-baby, my sweet cat Toby. I miss you more than words can say, though I know that you're no longer in any pain. You can breathe again and are back to your four-legged, feisty self. I want you to know that I tried to do everything that I could to make you feel more comfortable. I knew how much pain you were in toward the end of your short life. I wished I could have done more for you. It hurt me so much to see you so tired and unable to move around and eat right. They say that the good die young, and I do believe God needed you up there because you were the best kitty anyone could ever ask for. I only hope that you're better now, and that you're with Erin. She loved you dearly, and so do I. You're in my heart forever baby boy.

Love Mama

Faithful guardian of the home and true friend - we will miss you, Toby

Dawn Gilkison (For Pauline)

To Toby- You were my best friend, we grew up together... you helped me through moving and adjusting from the move. you were there to lick the tears from my face when I cried and were there to meet me every day when I came home from school with your wagging tail. Toby, I'll always love you and never forget you, and I'm so glad that you never had to put us through putting you to sleep. You'll always be my Cuteheart and my baby. Good night puppy.

Erica Courtright

A pet is a special joy given to some of us. Their love is the kind we wish we would receive from everyone; unconditional, endlessly forgiving, expecting little and grateful for attention and love. I lost Toby on Monday but he went peacefully, did not suffer and, as he did throughout his life, he spared me the unbearable pain of euthanizing him. God put different angels in my path who cared for him and made his last hours the best they could possibly be. I love my dog and always will. I hope that all who lose a pet are comforted by the special time they had with them, the knowledge that they are in a better place, and that they will be waiting for us when it is our time to join them.

Frank Joerss

Toby adopted us at the shelter when she was 8 weeks old and was a loving and faithful companion for almost 15 years. She ran laps around the back yard, chased a tennis ball for as long as you threw it, swam in the river, and true to her border collie genes, herded the other dogs in and out the door. She was truly a lady who lived her life with grace, beauty, and dignity.

Little Toby lost his battle with a virus after only six weeks of life. This beautiful baby belonged to Fred Miller, a very good friend of mine, and he is grieving along with his family and Cocoa, Toby's mother.

Please keep this beautiful creature, as well as the Miller family, in your prayers as Toby journeys to Rainbow Bridge.

My brave little warrior, "the little Master of Manderly Place," my beloved child, I've loved you from the first time I ever saw you from across the school yard--your hair glistening like threads of gold in the sunlight. I worried so for you and when I would leave every afternoon and look back, you would be sitting there so erect and so regal like a little Egyptian sun god. And after I brought you home to be my child, I've spent endless hours watching in wonderment at your grace and beauty with your beautiful golden red fur and your beautiful amber speckled eyes and at your intelligence and sensitivity. And I am so thankful that I was fortunate enough to be able to be a part of your life for the last eleven years. I was the lucky one!! Your antics have filled what would have been a very dreary and lonely existence with days and nights of laughter, entertainment and unconditional love. You have been such a big part of the best in my life and I will cherish you forever. I know the Angels have taken you and if that's where you are--at the Rainbow Bridge with Angel--just remember that someday I will come for you and you and I and Jenny, Mandy, Angel, Tommy Boy and little Gusty will all be together forever. I miss you sooo much but we must be brave and wait for someday. I love you, I love you, I love you!!!!!

Tobster: It's been nearly 4 months since you've been gone and our hearts still feel the emptiness of your loss. We miss how you used to torment your "dad" just to aggravate him and hearing your bark that you used quite often to demand attention. We'll always love and miss you. Jeff & Cherie

We love you buddy-dog and life will never be the same without you. You are our summer and we will always miss you. God Bless your little heart.

The Varner Family

Toby I love you so much you were a big part of my life and my best friend we did everything together and our time together was so precious to me. I have learned from you Toby never let a day go by without a dogs love the time is so short together. I tried all I could for us to be together longer but nothing helped. I just want you to know I love and miss you and my heart will always ache for you.

Barbara Bottenfield 2001 in memory of Toby

To Toby the little boy that thought me dogs do not have to have hair. Thank you for the two years you gave to your daddy and I we love and miss you very much. Take care till we meet at the bridge.

Carol McCluskie

In memory of our handsome guy! So special since his complaints were few. No whines, no cries, up until almost the day he died. Didn't even know he was so sick! Lymphoma...so cruel - inoperable. We love him and miss him so much every day!

Trevor Ashcraft

Toby and I shared a bond at a much higher level than Dog dedicated to his owner. He knew me better than I knew myself and was always ready to help ease the pressures that we all face on a day by day basis. HE would DEMAND that I sit with him each evening (usually around 8 PM local time). When I was preoccupied he would bark until I came in and sat with him. On several occasions, when I did not respond, he would get annoyed and either search me out or if he could not find me, leave a small puddle by the doorway.

Toby had five distinct sounds (his way of talking) that indicated what he wanted: opening the door, begging for food, frustration with the cats, frustration with me or my wife Brenda and longing for attention.

There is not a moment that goes by that I don't miss him. Although I have had numerous dogs, cats, etc, I have never had the pleasure of a the unique bond that Toby and I shared. I pray that there is a heaven for animals (including Toby) and that God watches over them for us..

Thank you for loving us as much as we loved you! You will always be loved...and missed. You are beautiful.

Andrea, Brett, and Linda Leffel And Brian Matthews

We will miss you, Toby Tyler. You always made us smile. Hope you are feeling better across the bridge.

To Toddy

I am so sorry that I went away for a weekend's holiday. On my return picking you up from kennels I found you were poorly. Two days later you passed on. On your last day you gave me a cuddle for which I will be forever grateful. You used to nearly knock me over with your greeting when I returned from work. I nicknamed you 'carpet' as you were a fluff of ball. Although not everyone liked you. You bought a smile to 95% of people's faces. You won two rosettes, one for the saddest expression and one for the most look-alike owner. Thank you for sharing your life with me, we had sad moments but thankfully a lot of happy ones too.

You will be sorely missed

by Mum and your friend Buster, the pug, and his owner.

God Bless

Toes was truly a very special cat..she was very sweet, giving kisses to anyone in need. We've taken in foster children and when each child came to live with us, the first thing she would do was given them a kiss. She loved to play fetch and lay in the sun. I was glad I could be with you at the end. I hope that you and Patchie are together laying in the sun and eating bowls of cat food.

Isabelle Connor

Toffee, you were my soul mate and I miss you desperately. We used to chat about everything, and you understood. You are the love of my life and I am truly sorry about not being able to save your life, but I know that you are in constant contact with me, you live on in all of Tiger, Freckles, Rosie, Snood and Puddy. You are guiding me and I trust you. Show me the way. Miss you my BABY. Help me and be there for me and my animals till we meet again. Precious Toffee. I will always love you.

Robyn Thompson

My Toffee was my buddy and my friend I miss him so much every day. I still think I see him at times but I guess it is in my mind and he will always live in my heart. I just hope that he is happy and has found his brother Andrew who died last year at the age of 18 years. He also had other cats that lived with him there names are Chessie, Scamp, Peanut, Thunder, Muffins, Midnight They all died before Toffee. I love you Toffee wherever you are and I miss you so.

N Mosher

I adopted Tofu from the shelter in June of 1997. She was 4 1/2 at the time. In February of this year, 2002, she was diagnosed w/ a malignant lymphoma in her right sinus passage. With chemo, she got better for a while but took a turn for the worst in June and started experiencing kidney failure and her condition forced me to have her put to sleep. She was my little girl and she will be sorely missed for a long, long time.

Brandie Williams-Tyson

Ian's little one, my bundling buddy, sweet little girl...rest in peace.

Toklat was a great dog. Although he was over protective of me, I loved him. My dad let him run loose on a highway, and he got hit and died instantly. I'm glad he didn't suffer.

Kristen

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!

For 12 years of taking my breath away, I love and thank you Tolkien. You will always be in my mind and heart. I miss you so very much my dear dear friend.

Tom, I wish I could remember you better and got to know you more. When we bought you they told us you were the nicest breed of hamster. So we bought you. They didn't tell us the truth since you hated everyone and bit them. I'm sorry for also treating you kind of poorly. I was a little kid with a pet hamster. I didn't know much. We thought it was fun to push and spin you in your little hamster ball. But now I regret it. Amazingly you lived for 4 years though. I thought hamsters only lived for 2-3 years. I hope Kim took good care of you in your last few months. But when I see you on the Rainbow Bridge I hope I can speak with you and apologize for my younger years and become the friends I wished we could have been.

Tommy, I have not been able to replace you. I don't think I ever can. I don't think any cat can keep these dogs in their place like you could. I did everything I could do to keep you here(more than you wanted me to).Forgive me, I just hated to let you go. You were the boss around here & I still miss you so much. I know I will see you again. Take care of Sandy & show him the ropes. I love you, Your Mom

They say you were just a turtle, but I loved you. I miss you. Go home to the bridge and be warm and at peace.

Ruth

Tom Dooley, barrel racer, pole bending, lesson horse and my dearest friend. Dooley there will always be a empty feeling because you are no longer with me. But God now has you in his pastures running free of earthly reins, tail in the wind joined by all your friends. Oh how I will miss you Dooley, from Nebraska to Georgia you were by my side. Your trophies will be a constant reminder of the wonderful years we had together....screaming round em barrels. Oh how I will miss you Dooley. ...(Susan)

Tommie, beloved of Jennifer, Sharon, Norm and Neal; companion to Flakes and Spock. Devoted furball - you will be most sorely missed by us all. How time can ease the pain of your departure I don't know, but I pray that somehow we will manage.
You gave us your love without reserve; tucked us into bed each night, and greeted us in the morning. Comforted us when we hurt (if only you were here to help NOW).
Thank you Lord for giving him to us for these past 15 1/2 years, and even more, for letting his last days be pain-free. Now, please help us find a way to heal the hole in our hearts.

Sharon

I loved Tommy from the moment I saw him, and named him Tommy after my grandparents' cat, the first cat I ever knew. He was a cute kitten with HUGE paws, an indication of how large he would become--23 lbs at his peak!!! Tommy, aka "Mister" added so much to my life--he was with me through so much; his sassiness kept me laughing, and his affection comforted me.

I miss you, Mister Tom--I know you are big and sassy again.

Dearest Tommy

This is the hardest thing we have ever been through. I'm so sorry I didn't come after you. We love you so much and wish you were with us. You were so little. You weren't supposed to go that night. Don't ever forget we love you and we will meet you again one day. You are our baby boy Tommy kitten. We feel so numb, we love you.
Mummy and Daddy and Costa kitten.

Dear my Tommy,
I love you very much but why did god chose you and not me.
even do you are gone I will always love you and keep you heart by my side. I know how much you mean to me but I will always love you and keep a picture of you in my mind.

Love

Dear Tommy--

I miss you so much. You were the leader of the feral colony I fed & finally rescued. We would call you Tommy Mommy because you would hold & bathe each of your rescued kids/colony members as if you were a momcat. They are all looking for you & I don't know what to tell them; they depended on you for so much. You got sick so suddenly the week that Ralph was put down. I am so sorry the doctors & specialists couldn't find out what was wrong before you had a heart attack. I wish we had more time together because you were such a sweetie. Stick close to Bogart, Rhett, Claude, & Ralph, & wait for me to be with you again one day.

Karen Skelding

It will be one year since my Tommy passed to the "bridge".
I miss him very much and wish he were here with me.
All my love to you my best buddy Tom.

Jan Stein

Our dearest sweet Angel furbaby Tommy, You brought so much love & joy into our life. We are better for having had you in our life for a short time than not at all. We love you very much. You were a brave cat. We are glad you are not in pain from the cancer anymore. We would never want you to suffer. We will be with you again one day. Until then you live on in our hearts & memory. xoxo Mama & Daddy

My Tommy Girl left me on April the 13th,2001. She was loss when I had a delivering brought to my apt. I never found her. My heart was broken. But I soon found love in my new life with pennylane. My sweet baby kitten, who by the way is almost a year old now. I will always love Tommy Girl, and my little Spooker who passed away last October. I had her for over 20 years. We never know what life has in store so hold on to the good times. This is for my two babies that are gone now. Thank God for Pennylane.

The house will always be empty now you've gone. I miss you baby boy and love you so much.

Karen Livingstone

He was simply the sweetest boy there could be.

Marc Nelson

My friend and companion,
you will always hold a special place in my heart. I can still remember you as the little rescued spanish kitten with the big feet after all this time. You have been with me for most of my life, and you probably know me better than anybody in this world. Everything we have been through together...you were always there for me. Letting me put my face into your fur when I was sad, making me laugh when I needed it and sharing your company with me when I was lonely. Wherever I went, you went with me. Most people, who met you did not care for you too much because you were wild and independent; taking the offered treat, but lashing out at the hand that offered it. That made the friendship, the love, the tenderness and complete trust you gave me even more special. I will never forget the very last day we spend together before that very last visit to the vet. I know that you are free now from pain and suffering. I will miss you with all my heart.
Carola

Tony was loved so very much. He always greeted me in the morning and watched me put on my make-up. He would be at the door when I came home from work waiting on me. I miss him so much. On his last day he was laying there and when I told him it was okay to die he looked up at me and just layed his little head in my hands as if he understood. It wasn't long after that the he passed away. Tony I love you and will one day be with you again. Meet you at the bridge..

If I had only known the first day I saw you that we would share eleven long beautiful years together, I would have appreciated every moment of it much more. You got me through tough times, you created wonderful times. The bond we have cannot be explained. It is what it is and I am blessed to have this connection with you. It couldn't be any stronger had I brought you into this world myself. I used to shrug it off when they said you were my life. The moment I looked around and didn't have you here with me anymore was the moment I realized they were right. I would do anything for you then and I would give anything now to have you back here with me. You were my life, my heart, my soul, my beebee...I miss you more than words can say and I pray someday we will be together again. Wherever you are is where I want to be..someday. Love you, my beebee.

My Little Guy. Love at first sight, he knew he was for me. Has been with me thru my Mom & dad's death, Barry's heart attack, was smuggled into the hospital to see me while I was being treated for leukemia, slept on my side of the bed, stayed in the tent with me; tried to catch the windshield wipers during rides on raining days, barked at bridges and hated toll takers; lost his two other fur buddies, Molly & Schnauzer, an 1997 & 1999. Max and Muldoon came later and are still here with us.
A big part of me has been ripped away. At night, he'd "Lick away the cares of the day". A few hours before we brought him to the vet, he licked my face for a solid 20 minutes. A lifetime's worth of kisses, and letting me know he was OK with the decision. But a gremlin inside keeps telling me he was begging me NOT to have it done. I didn't want to play God. Where was God when I needed Him? What'll I do without my baby?

Tribute to Kitty - I came home to find you had been hurt. You were lying on the porch and struggled to me so I would let you in the house. I had not known you were outside. I never liked you to be outside. I rushed you to the vets and you were panting and gazing at me with your eyes begging me to help you. I was relieved when they said no bones were broken but your heart rate was way to high and they were concerned about you thyroid. I had to take you to another hospital and they whisked you out of my sight to take care of you. I called that evening and you were doing ok and resting comfortably. Three hours later they called to say your heart had stopped and you were gone. I miss you so much. I miss you following me from room to room and flopping down on your back to have your belly rubbed. I miss telling you it is time for bed, go lie down, and I will miss our talks as I take bubble bathes and you play with the bubbles. I am so sorry I could not keep you here with me Kitty. I will see you one day and until then keep Grammy company

We are going to miss this princess kitty and hunting for her special canned food.

Cheryl Williams and Family

Tooter, an eight year old Main Coon crossed the bridge on June 19, 2002 at 7:40 am of leukemia. He taught us that each day was special, full of wonder and adventure and to live every moment to its fullest. We miss you dearly, Mom and Dad

Our little black Tooters, who was a loving family member, you always met us at the door, tail wagging always happy to see us come home. We will remember you always. Your little black eyes melted us everytime. You are pain free now, go and play, we will miss you.

Lanning Family

Tootsie
To my sweet little Tootsie you were my best friend, my companion and my some one to talk to. You were always there when I needed you, always there when I needed to smile I never was lonely when you were near thank you for being there for me you will always be in my heart and I will miss you forever I love you Tootsie.

Krystle

Thank you, our sweet, little Toots, for being in our lives for such a short time. You have filled our hearts with incredible, sweet, doggie love that we will remember all our lives--until we meet you again at the Rainbow Bridge. Until then, know that our love is wrapped around your sweet soul.

Cory & Maureen Edgecomb

Dearest Tootsie,

You will always have a special place in our hearts. I met you 8 years ago, when I met your Dad. I used to go to his house and you would jump higher than the door latch to see me. It was hard to see you go downhill, but now, you are with your other sisters, Sammi, Suzi & Holly at the Bridge. You were the resident mutt, the wannabee Schnauzer, even though you were blonde. We love you, Toots!

Mom (Geri Chaney)

To my sweet, beautiful black and white cat with your cute face and wonderful big feet. Thank you for the gift of love you gave me. You put a song in my heart and were my best friend when the world let me down. When I got you as a kitten they said that the extra toes meant you were lucky, I guess we both were. I love you and miss you so much that the tears come everyday. When my heart heals a little bit from breaking I will keep you in a special part of it until I cease to be. I love you, my Tootsie angel.

Debra Aarens

Daddy and Mommy miss you very much, you made our everyday lives so much easier to cope with. We pray for the day when you will greet us as we come over the rainbow bridge to be reunited with. We love you dearly Mommy and Daddy

My dear little Topaz, how I miss giving you 'a scratch' on your little head & back. I took you to emergency and you were fine all night but had a cardiac arrest early the next morning as I was speaking to the vet. Wish I'd stayed all night but they said it was not that serious. However, the remorse & regrets are almost more than I can bear. Please be waiting for me at Rainbow Bridge so that we may cross it together paw in hand Topaz. Never a day goes by that I don't think of you; I miss you so.

Cy Sawyer

Topaz, (Izzy Boy Dog) we love you very much. We will miss you. We hope you are having fun in the hills and meadows in Rainbow Bridge.

Jeanette, John & Olivia Verdone and Nana Too

For the Top Cat (TC) and Grace

You looked at me with love and trust,
dear heart and friends,
with me for so short a time.
I miss you so.
Sometimes so cranky,
and yet you could melt my heart
laying in my lap, kneading the air with your feet.
All softness and warm.
The world was yours,
with bugs to catch, birds to watch and the
mole to bring me at 2:30 in the morning.
Of all the spinning globe, you were the master.

With cat pride you held your courtly head,
"Whatever it is, it must be good to eat" - your meowed notion.
You wore your joy of living like the
bannered tail you waved high and proud.
You are the creator's kindliest gift of all to me - my friend.

I know you go before me, but wait for me.
Yours was the courage to face the way ahead
and wait patiently for me to follow and join
'Till we meet once more, little friends.

Kathy Benson

Sadly missed by all those people who lives she touched.

Carol M. Steffus

Tori, You were the sweetest little spotted dog. We are so sad that you are gone. We buried you on our mountain land under a tall tree with a beautiful view. We miss you so much and wish you could have lived on with us. Love, Phyllis & Jerry

My little baby got hit by a car by some freak who didn't care. She managed to walk to my driveway to try to get to me but couldn't make it. My mom found her just lying there. I'm 16 so I was at school. I didn't even get to say goodbye! She was my best friend!!!! Oh, If I ever find who did this, they'll pay forever. My little baby's gone. What will I do. I don't want to wake up anymore. She used to sleep at the foot of my bed, and this morning, being the first morning without her, I looked to call her and say hello but she wasn't there. I miss her so much. I think, even in suicide do you get to meet your friends at the rainbow bridge? I mean, then I could see her again sooner and we could be together forever. Please pray for me and my little Tori. She really was the best friend anyone could have. She was like a person. Thank you so much and I'm so sorry to anyone who has had do go through this pain. All my love, Amanda brown

My Sweet, Sweet Toro, I would have never thought I could feel so much sadness and pain. It's been over three weeks now and I still cry everyday. I know you wouldn't want me to be sad and that you miss me too. My only hope is to believe that one day we will be together again and your wonderful spirit lives on in my heart. I want so much to stroke that sweet face of yours and give you the big bear hugs. See your tail wagging when I come home and greet me with your wet kisses. I want to wish you all the peace in the world without pain and suffering. I love you Toro from the bottom of my heart. Mitch

Dear Tortie, you & I shared only 10 day together before the illness took you; you passed in my arms as did Clovis. I named you to keep you as my own. I had you cremated as I did Panzer, Muffin, A.J., B.C., Tabby, Dingo, Topaz, Clovis, Leopardo and Moggy. All of you, along with any others that go before me, will be buried with me after I am cremated because I love you all so very much. Please wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge and cross it with me my Darling Tortie.

Cy Sawyer

Tory blessed me with 21 years of companionship and love. He always showered me with kisses everyday and hugs everynight. He will be in my heart forever. I thank him for waiting for me to come home from work, so that when he finally fell asleep, I had the chance to not only say goodbye, but to kiss him one last time and to be with him when he left us. No matter what happened around us or to him, he was tough and made it through, right until the end. I will miss him forever, but I know he's in a sunbeam thinking, "don't worry, I'm fine, Mom".

Janet Watson

Tracey was a very special girl. She came to live with us when she was four but we had known her most of her life. She was diagnosed with gestational diabetes several years ago but we had her regulated and on insulin twice a day. At Thanksgiving, she was diagnosed with cancer. On Wednesday, January 23, we had x-rays done and the cancer had taken over her lungs. We had to let her go...... She was a dear, sweet, gentle soul and we'll miss her.

Broken Heart


My broken heart walked through the woods
Feeling alone and so gloomy.
I heard not the song of bird and
Perfume eluded the flower.

Then from beneath a tough ever-green
Your roving heart sprang, filled with joy.
Murky clouds thawed to a bright sky
And buds of love bloomed in my breast.

Together we've traversed the dunes,
Dizzy sea breeze splashing our dreams,
Hearts racing with eagerness but
Luculent in a lull of laughs.

Chopin has tickled our ears with
Melodies that made us both weep.
Yet, filled our hearts with memories
That left you persistent for more.

Blue heavens discoloured to dark
When you fell with your broken heart.
My Sweetheart, I'll nev' hear your bark.
At twelve from me you must depart.

Your faithful heart now fills the sky
And has left me here „Ÿ just to cry.

Hugh Denton


These words are dedicated to our darling little "Tramp"
I will always love you my Sugar-Pie-Honey-Bunchy,
Thank you for choosing us.

Thank you so very much,
Charles

Tramp passed away on Dec. 27, 2001. I lost my very best friend on that sad day. I didn't think it was possible to love as much as I loved her. I miss you boo-boo.

Laura Keenan

It has been 3 months today since we said our goodbyes, sweet baby. It hasn't gotten any easier. I hope that one day I will be able to remember only the good times and not the sad. There is not a single day that goes by that I don't think of you, and miss you. I love you Tramp, and I will be with you again. I only wish that I knew then what I know now, then maybe you would still be here.
Tramp was diagnosed with cancer {sept.99)she had 2 surgeries in less than a month, which, to say the least was very traumatic for her and us. We thought we had beat the cancer, but in just a couple of months it was back. I had to decide then whether or not to put her through another surgery. I was told that if I did'nt, she would probably be gone within 2-3months. I chose the obvious, that was to let her live her life and be happy.
I'm happy to say that I had the pleasure of her company for the next year or better.
TRAMP is in a beautiful place now, she loved life and I look forward to being with her again one day. For now I have my memories of a beautiful and much loved girl to tide me over.

She was the best cat ever and my best friend. I'll forever miss her.

Colleen Olson

Trapper, was to me my furbaby my buddy and I miss him dearly. We would walk the yard daily, get the mail, the newspaper, and go for car rides. I spoiled Trapper rotten. He loved double cheeseburgers from Mcdonalds as long as they were plain. In return for all I gave him Trapper brought me great joy and happiness. He was, is a loved dog who will forever be in our hearts. Trapper, we love you miss you but are glad you are suffering no more.

Artie Byars

What words do I select to express how amazing your were? You were so special. The number of lives you touched is phenomenal. So many children afraid of dogs lost their fear after getting to know you. You could read us like a book and knew when we were mad or sad. How many arguments did you break up by coming to stand in between us? I love you and miss you so much that my heart hurts. The house is so lonely without you. I look over at your spot and expect to see you there. At night my mind plays tricks on me and I imagine I hear you snoring or your collar rattle. A day will never go by that I don't think of you. I pray that one day we will meet again. You were too special to not have a soul. I will treasure my memories and be so forever thankful that you were my dog. You taught me more than I realize and I will keep you alive in my heart forever. Thank you for being my splat boy and for your years of unconditional love and enjoyment.

Lisa

My dear sweet Tr. is joining his mother Shiela at the Rainbow Bridge. He is not in pain from his cancer any longer. My sweet brave boy, till I see you again. I love you very much. Mommy Carol

Travis will always be remembered for his sweet & kind disposition, his playfulness, his loyalty, his ability to always act like a puppy even as he grew older, and his friendship. You will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you, especially me, your mom. I miss you so much and will always love you and keep you in my heart!

Rebecca Tharrington

May all of you pet owners be blessed with a great as dog as Travis. My companion for 13 years - my life will never be the same - he will be missed greatly.

Darlene Hansen

Travis was a great little dog. He lived a long life. He will be missed.

In memory of Travis 09/22/89 - 01/18/02,

He was old, and slow, and lazy, and fat, and we loved him more than life itself.

Mom and Dad

Trek,
You are always in my heart, and have been since the day I first saw you. Je t'adore mon amie. I will see you again on the rainbow bridge, but please know that I have not and will never forget you. I love you, and I will see you again. Your memory will live on forever in my heart.

Lee

You only shared my life for five short months, but you will forever live in my heart. Rest peacefully, my beloved, Treker, I will never forget you.

Valerie Roos Webster

You came into my life at a time when I had just lost my baby girl... You walked in that door, and right into my heart. You were the most strikingly beautiful cat I've ever seen, and I wish to God that you had not had to pass the way that you did. I am grateful, however, that you were outside in the yard... because that's where you loved to be. Daddy is sorry he didn't come get you, and was unable to save you. We made you a garden in the backyard, if you didn't know... I hope you'll come visit it sometime. I'll be there waiting for you. I love you, Handsome.

Cathey

I owe tribute to a great Airedale who suffered for 3 years to the abuse of his first owners. I honor him for giving me a chance to love him and for him to love me. I honor him for battling many diseases with great dignity and no complaints.

I love you sweet Trevor, and my greatest joy will be the day I see you running and playing at the rainbow bridge like you should have while on this earth.

Laudalina Nieves

Wait for me at the Bridge, boydog of my heart.

Susan Bailey

My sweet little Trevvie...
You were my special little angel, sent tome for only a little while to help heal my heart. Your time with me was so short. I will always love you my baby boy.
Your Meowmy.

You came into our lives a small ball of fur with 4 'pegs' for leggs. You grew not just in size, but in our hearts as well. You still walk this house guarding us as you always did. God found you to be happy and loving and I pray when the time comes HE will let you take me home to be with you.

Evelynne M. Ritter

Goodbye Sweet Prince. You survived a life that other cats would never survive. You had a strong will to live. You enjoyed life and lived life like a king. I'm sorry I had to end your life but it was time. You spirit wanted to go on but your body was tired and old. So now you are free - you are young again. Live your afterlife the way you lived your life - on your terms. Join your mama, brother and sisters at the Rainbow Bridge. It's not my time to come yet but when it is I'll be looking for you. For now I'll grieve for you. You're my special baby. I love you. Goodbye sweet one. Goodbye.

We adopted our very affectionate cat from the humane society for mothers day 10 years ago. He was three legged. The vet said when they decided to amputate his leg they knew he had a good personality. They were right. He was such a people cat and would hop around to where ever we were. He didn't know he was handicapped and he did everything full speed. Our then five year old daughter heard them calling him tripod at the humane society and decided that they really meant three paws so his name was Tripaw. A big dog on the loose wandered into our yard and killed him in the early morning hours of Wednesday May 8 2002. He leaves a big hole in the family and we miss him very much. We will always carry loving memories in our hearts and are grateful for the time we had with him.

Graden Family

I will love you and will miss you always. You were always there when I needed a laugh and you were there to lick my tears away. Now you are gone, and I'm alone with my tears. You were the greatest and most special dog that a person could ever have. I step outside and still expect to see you run up to me and follow me wherever I go. But it never happens. I walk alone. Even though time moves on, my heart and life will never be the same. There is a void in my heart that only you could fill. I can't wait to see you again. I love you and I always will. Bye, Pumpkin.

Kristin

Tripper was just a cat, he was a devoted, loving companion who truly offered comfort and joy.

Barbara

You were our baby before we were able to have children. I'm so grateful for the time I had with my blonde haired brown eyed baby. I will love you for eternity. I look forward to seeing you again in heaven. Thank you for the gift of love.

Forever Stacy and Todd Neal

Our beloved Tristan was born at Susan's Seafood 7 years ago. He fit into the palm of my hand and was only a few weeks old the first time I met him. He grew to be the love of my life. He loved tuna, Quarter Pounders with cheese, crunch balls, basking himself in the sunlight, sleeping on his mommy's head or under daddy's arm, and his fellow animals, especially our sweet Fluff who passed this year on February 2nd. He was the most affectionate and loving animal one could ever hope for and will live on in my heart as my companion, my familiar, my son. He was diagnosed with renal failure in December 2001. Many thought that he would perish soon after, but he was always a fighter and triumphed over many bad times. When he could no longer handle the boundaries of this world we let him go in peace. He was surrounded by love and knew that he was going on to a place where he could be free of pain and able to run and play again. He was greeted by our other beloved whom have departed us: cats Fluff and Thomas, our beloved dog Sunny, my grandfather, my aunt Claudia and Uncle Stan whom I know all of them and Mother Bast will take great care of him until we meet again. He was and is loved by many and will be missed by all.

Rita Donohue

Tristan, pusstan, old and wise,
I saw God in your azure eyes.

Dale Phillips

My Trixi Dixi Doodle Girl, you were my most constant companion for over 18 years. You and Alice were with me through everything. I miss you terribly. It seemed unbearable when I almost lost you before; and I am so grateful that you came back from the edge to honour me with five more years of your unconditional love. I know that you've missed Alice for the past year and I know that you are together now. Thank you for bringing Pearl into our lives and thank you for trusting Valerie to be with you when it was your time to go. I'm so sorry that I wasn't with you when you took your last breath, I wish that I could have held you and looked in to your soulful eyes one last time. Always a lady, you were graceful and beautiful until the end. Thank you for loving me so very well, my sho-sho girly. Sylvia

Trixie...I miss you ever day! Not a day goes by that I don't think of a moment I shared with you, or wish that I had you around to pet or be comforted by! I love you Doodlebug, and even though you are not with me in body, you are with me every day in heart and sprit! I know you are looking down on me with love!
Be good darling!
Mommy
Tonya Bowles

Trixie brought joy to all who knew her, gentle, loving, and always lookin' for a good scratch. I could dwell on my sorrow, but prefer to smile, those memories live on forever. Thanks to all here who cared for us in our times of need. The smiles are for all of you too............

From Trixie
A Tribute to my Mum & Dad

I was born to pain and misery, abuse and lots of strife,
and then you came and rescued me to give me a great life
The times we had together were always filled with joy
because as always you were there and gave me lots of toys
You always made me comfortable and fed me really good,
even when I wasn't well, I knew you understood
Each morning when you left me with a stroke upon my chair,
the joy for me was boundless when you returned to care
So please don't cry because I'm gone, you did the best you could,
you took my pain upon yourself, as I knew you would
I have not gone, I'm still around in every breath of air,
just stop a while and think of me and gently touch my chair
(Written by Trixie's Grandad)

Trixie, you gave us so much joy in the 12 years you were with us and now you're gone our hearts are filled with sorrow. Sleep well girlie. I know that the sun is always shining where you are now and that you are free of pain. We will love and miss you forever. Until we meet again.

All our love and kisses always

Mum & Dad

Trixie -- You were a wonderful dog and I really miss you! Hope you had a good stay on earth and enjoyed me as much as I did enjoy having you here for me.

To our special and loving friend, you will be sorely missed and in our hearts forever.

Emmett and Karen Crocker

In life we have the chance to have one really great dog...

Linda

My little girl who had gone through so much in her life and done it so bravely for her family and friends, I will always love you At 7 weeks old, you were almost killed by our male Golden, had surgery and was patched back together. It took a year of body casts and pin-removals, rehabilitation and lots of love and TLC, but, you bounced back and fooled everyone. We got you Daisy to nurture and love and you were like two bookends, always laying side by side and never once did I see either one of you growl or get mad at each other. Life was good for us, one blonde golden retriever (that was me) and one red. When Trixie was 10 yrs., she contracted lymphoma and faced the chemo, sickness and everything that had to be endured with my help and her best friends, Daisy. Given a mere 6 mo. she lived another 3 2/2 yrs. until she got so tired, she just couldn't do it anymore. We helped her pass, her mommy, daddy and her best friend, Daisy. What a special girl she was. She worked the pet therapy program for the Senior citizens in our area for 8 yrs. and loved every minute of it. She brought total love and joy into our lives and all that were fortunate to know her. She will be forever missed.

Barbara Tornberg

Daddy and Mommy miss you very much ,you made our everyday lives so much easier to cope with. We pray for the day when you will greet us as we come over the rainbow bridge to be reunited with .We love you dearly Mommy and Daddy

She was just a very special dog and we both fell in love the minute I took her from the pound, she was 'my beloved'

Joanne Stevens

My dear Trixie. Thank you for 15 wonderful years. You were a great dog who took a big piece of my heart when you left me. I know you are sitting in Baba's lap now and you are both pain free. You and Lucky run and have fun and we will meet again some day. I love you and thanks for all the great memories you gave me.

Kathy

"She was always there at bedtime."

Laurie Colebank

Trixy,
You were my very special baby for 18 years. I loved you with all my heart and sole. You were such a special cat. So full of love and affection. I know when your sissy died you were never the same. When I found you passed under the bed, you looked so peaceful. I am so glad you didn't suffer much. I take so much comfort in knowing you will be with Daisy again. I miss you and love you.

Debi Lesniewski

Troopa, It's not getting any easier over time. You were a big part of our family. The house is just not the same without you. I miss the sound of you here. You were my best friend. The hardest thing was letting you go. I pray that you are ok. I love you baby boy.

Paul and Kathleen

BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME (Celine Dion)

For all those times that you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, baby
You're the one who held me up
And never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through
Through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me

You gave me wings to make me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and asked the toll
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Baby, I don't know that much but I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
Light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me

Bob and Jeanne McKay

Trooper-Beloved family pet who protected our younger son Trever from birth. With him in the house we always felt so protected as he was very much a protective dog. He will be missed and was very loved.

Barbara P

Trooper,
We miss you but are grateful that God brought you to us for the 12 years that you were here on earth. See you in Heaven!

Janet Berry-Rickard

We have had trooper ever since he was 6 months old. He was the runt out of the litter, he was a beautiful golden retriever. We brought that dog home and we let him stay in the bathroom, with a gate in front of the door, so he would not use the bathroom on the floor. The dog grew, he was a loyal and loving dog. He loved to ride on the jet ski. He loved to go swimming, and ride on the pontoon boat, he loved when we would be fishing on the pier he would start barking when the drag from the line would take off. And then he would try to get the fish off of the line. Then we found out he had cancer. So we started treatments to try to help him. He was on medication for about 7 months, then it came time that we had to make a decision to let our trooper go on. It was the hardest thing that we have ever had to do, he was like my baby because we did not treat our dog .like a dog, he was treated like a human, because we loved that dog so much. When we would go on trips. He was right there with us, if we stopped to get a hamburger, we would get him a hamburger, and he loved ice cream. He was 9 yrs. old . It has left a void in our life. We loved that dog so much. He was a part of our family. Good- bye to our loyal friend. We love you trooper . Love your mama and daddy. Bye - bye- Troop.

My soulmate I miss you so much ,time has not healed the pain, I know your at the bridge now happy and healthy and waiting for me someday, Bub not a day goes by I don't think of you some are good some are bad, I can't wait to hold you again, I love you so much, your always with mom, see you one day my love. Remember the dance.

Trouble was a real member of our family. He was always there. He was a faithful companion. He was someone you could talk to. He never got angry. He was always loving and playful. I miss him so much. There's an emptiness in my heart. I feel hurt like no other. I look forward to the day I will see him again.

Doris O'Donnell

Troubles was a very special dog to me. She was always there whenever I needed her the most and she always cheered me up during the sad times. My precious furbaby was faithful & loyal to the end. The first day I looked into her sweet little innocent eyes, I knew that she was going to be a life long pal. Each person gets that one pet in life that's special, and Troubles was mine. When she died I lost a best friend but gained an angel. Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge my precious girl.

My Troubles ....my friend forever... I love you buddy!

Julie Whitescarver

Troubles has been a perfect Angel from the beginning. She was the best puppy, and grew up to become our very best friend. We could not have even dreamed of a companion and better than our "Troubles." She was patient with children and loving of those who loved her. Troubles has congestive heart failure, and we have had to make that most painful decision a pet owner has to make. We will be putting Troubles to rest this Saturday January 19th, 2002. It will be a most heart breaking day. One thing we will try to remember, like in the story "Rainbow Bridge" is that one day we will be with Troubles again. Troubles we love you and will miss you. We will treasure the memories you have given us. Love, Fred, Michele, Mariah, and Lauren.

Part to my soul purrs in the sunshine at the Rainbow Bridge

Troy you will always have a special place in our hearts, miss you more than words can describe. I will meet up with you again soon enough Troy... Your ever loving family XXXXXX

Pets of all kind make this a better world to live in. God Bless all of them.

Elsie Morris

Although you graced our lives for only a short time, it was an honor to give you a forever home and take care of you. You will always be missed and loved.

Truffles,

You were my baby. I hope all your pain is gone and you are free from your suffering. I love you with all my heart and miss you terribly. Gizmo is lonely without you. You will always have a special place in our hearts. We love you little boy. I remember the day mom and dad brought you home. You were so little. You didn't even know how to bark, but you sure did learn quickly! I wish I could hold you in my arms again, and someday I hope I will. You are my best buddy and I will never ever forget you.

Love,

Your Family

Dearest Truman, we were blessed to have you in our life for 8 1/2 years.

You were the most giving, loyal, nurturing and true animal I have ever known. You brought happiness and joy to your whole family, and especially to me, every day of your life, and you will bring me joy as I remember our days together. I'm sorry we and the vets couldn't save you. Your bright star must be needed up there. I miss you terribly---the smell of your fur, your constantly wagging tail, and the weight of you against my hip at night. Daddy and the girls miss you too, especially Tess. You were so sweet to those girls. We will always love you. Thank you for being you. I carry you close to my heart.

Gwen Seeley-Joosse

This is to you Mom and to Psycho. We will miss her dearly. I will always remember her when I look at the scar on the back of my leg. I know you will miss her, but its probably for the best. She will always be in your heart. We love you mom. We're sorry.

Love
Kimberly and Jason

Our little Tubba gave us unconditional love. His gentle ways and tender kisses are missed in a way that maybe will never heal. He'd run and get a biscuit whenever the dog next door would bark. He'd greet us at the door, biscuit in mouth, little tail wagging so hard it would nearly knock him over. We got him from Mom when he was already seven; we had him for only four 1/2 years, not nearly long enough. But we have a lifetime of precious memories. We just lost him to end stage renal failure this evening, a few short hours ago. Oh, Tubba boy, you are your daddy's pride & joy

Donna & Domenick Pirollo

You suffered so much in this life, epilepsy was so hard on you little one I still wish you were here, you were an inspiration for us ,you were so brave.
May angels watch over you now and forever

Anne Lindsay Carpenter

I will always miss you my Tucker, especially such fond memories of how you would always be lying on your blue carpet and would lift your head and meow at me when I came out from my bath. And I will always miss kissing you. You were so good to put up with all my smooches. I'm so sorry that your life and our time together was so short. My heart is so heavy without you. But you will always be in my heart. Love, Kim

Tucker, you were a wonderful cat. We got you from the Shelbyville Humane Association because you had leukemia and were going to be put asleep. We had one leukemia positive kitty and she needed a buddy. You sure were. Starlight and you were the best of friends. Lying in the window playing, and sleeping. She truly misses you. We did everything we possibly could to save you, but medicine just didn't work and you left us.

I am glad you have no more pain, and I hope you have a wonderful time in heaven. I know you have the biggest yard up there!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Starlight, Hope, Sweetness, Roger, Sassy, Autumn, Storm, Mel, Jake, Hannah, Rocky, Mr. Peabody, Jenny , Suzie, Hans, Chewy, and the fishes.

Dear Tucker, We miss you very much. We hope that you are very happy in heaven. We miss your big smiles and your happy, wagging tail. We wish that we could play with you and pet you, again. You were the sweetest, friendliest and most dependable dog ever. We hope you know that we both love and miss you very much, and we look forward to your big wet kisses and big paw shake when we see you, again.

Until then, may you have peace, open fields, treats, tennis balls and other dogs and people to play with.

With love always for our good puppy-like dog, who is now our Tuck-Angel, and who will always be in our hearts,

Mommy and Joseph

To Tucker - the sweetest and most loving friend - we miss you so much. Our love is with you always.

Sue & Bill Greenough

Te amaré eternamente

Susana Pallini

Dear little Fagan, you brought life and light and love to all who knew you. You were our little furry guru, teaching us all how to enter ecstasy without guilt.

As the poet Shelley had written, you possessed "Beauty without vanity, courage without insolence, intelligence without conceit, and courage without ferocity - in short, all of the human virtues with none of the human vices."

You embodied all of that spiritual beauty which philosopher W. Olaf Stapledon wrote of in his epochal novel of canine intelligence, "Sirius." Yours was not the lesser intelligence of books and pens and plans and plots - the lesser cunning of the two-leggers, but an intelligence of the heart.

May all of the Gods speed the day when we are reunited on the far side of the Rainbow Bridge.

(Born in Atco, New Jersey USA and died in Montclair, New Jersey, USA).

Tuffy had a full life. Adopted as a pup from a shelter, she had lived in houses, apartments, hotels, in a cabin in the woods. She dearly loved to chase squirrels when young. Her favorite toy was a stuffed bunny ... it had to be a bunny. She gave love unconditionally. She had an built in clock, barked when we needed to get up, when it was time to go to work. She loved food, even learned to open the fridge to steal it. She put up with bigger dogs coming into the house, cats, kittens, she took them all in stride. Even in the last days she wanted to go for a ride, she wanted to be under my desk while I worked. She lived a long and good life. We will miss her.

Nancy

Tuffy,

Although you are gone, I want you to know you'll always live on in the hearts of those who love and care about you.

Love, Chelsea

Tuffy was a dog that was loved by us all. He protected each and every one of us thru the day and thru the night. Each of will miss Tuffy. Tuffy always stayed by moms side and gave my mom love the all those "tough" days. He stayed by his long time companion "Tiffany". He lived a good life and will always be remembered. We know in our hearts that Tuffy is free of all health problems and is gone to a much better place and as God said "as like humans animals are also made from dust so shall he return to dust and shall be with me in Paradise. I shall end with this: Tuffy you will always be loved and remembered. Tuffy we love you!!

Your family who will truely miss you, The Whites

You'll be forever in my heart, soul and mind until we meet again, Peanutbutter!!!!

Cheri McBride

I had and Loved you for 16 beautiful years, I'll never forget you, my little Tuffman.
I'm waiting for the day, we can all be together.
I love you Tuffy.

Erna Florida

We love you Tuffy and even though it has only been a day since you are gone and the void is unbearable. May your spirit be lifted and may you visit us from time to time until we see you again. I am sorry you couldn't see Maegan grow up and Ryan become a man. His eyes were the last you looked into. He will never forget you.

Love Maisy (mom), Jeff (dad), Maegan (sis) and Ryan (brother)

I love you Tuner! I'll miss you.

He is with Cathy & Jim again. All is good.

This tribute is to Turbo, who brought her owners and friends many hours of joy. She was our friendly ambassador, who greeted visitors at our door. She was the gentle giant, who never grew tired of being petted and loved, and gave it right back. She healed our hearts in life with her love, but the loss of this beautiful creature has broken our hearts. Shadow, our other cat, also misses Turbo terribly and keeps looking in all of her favorite places for her life-long buddy. May you rest in peace; we will always remember you with much love.
Love, Helen, Cas, John, Carole, and Randy

Dear Turk,
I only found this site a few days ago. Thank you for the 191/2 years of love. Thank you for letting me love another after you passed. I waited, but I couldn't go on without you. Bear Kitty just wasn't enough. She wanted to be, I just wouldn't let her in. I hurt too much from losing you. Tell her I am very sorry, and that I do miss her too. Little Kurzon (a.k.a Baby Kitty) was born only a few days after you died. I got him when he was four months old. You were able to spend a year with me while I worked at home. Baby Kitty was able to spend his whole life, but his life was very short. We got to come back home, and he loved "porchie" too. I know that God sends only the very best of his angels down to the earth in little fur coats, and I am so grateful to have been mom to you all. Please find Bear Kitty, Pete and Smokey (Ann's kids), Punkin (Lisa's love), and Spooky (my childhood bud); and then run to meet my little boy at the Rainbow Bridge. Tell him I am sorry if he was in pain that I didn't know about. Listen to his "chirpie" purr. Compare "nubbies" (yes, he had one too). Tell him we will play "Fishie" forever when I meet you again in the place where there is no more sorrow or pain. Tell him I miss his Grrr face. Miss all you guys sooooo much.

Love, Mom

For our Turkey boy, who we love and miss. Hope you are tunneling through the great blue sky, and making cloud nests with Paco.

God bless. We love you so.

Robyn & Doug

Dear Turq,

Thank you for the ray of joy you were in our lives. You will be deeply missed and remembered often. I will carry you with me in my heart always... and remember you in all that I do.

May you be always surrounded by lush rainforest, good friends and sunshine.

With deepest love and lingering sorrow,

Jaime, Christian, Khloris and especially Dargonesti

Tux was a great dog with a gentle quiet spirit. He knew always when you needed a hug or if you needed to smile. He loved to play with his brother Ben. They would run around chasing each other and then lay down and clean each others ears. He would run into the room and stand between me and Scott if we were fighting or being loud until we calmed down and petted him. He often slept on his back with his feet in the air, dreaming of chasing something somewhere. Tux, we miss you and we Love you ,and you will live in our hearts forever!!! xoxo Love Daddy, Mommy and Benny too!

Tuxedo, you were the kindest, sweetest little man I have ever known and I miss you so much. From the moment we met I knew my life was changed forever. If only I could just "breathe you" one more time. I know we will be together again one day and I will kiss that sweet, kind face once more. Thank you my little "Tux Man" for the happiest 13 years of my life. Your Memaw loves you now and forever.

Nancy Jo Scholibo

Our so loved Tuxedo lost his life to cardiomyopathy. He was only 5 years old and the illness came on so suddenly. He bravely struggled for a week to hold on. Tux, baby, we are going to miss you so badly......You were the most beautiful cat and so full of life. I am so sorry we couldn't save you, sweet boy. Your daddy loves you. You go let Alonzo know you are there with him......We will always love you.......

Our beloved, my "sister" was laid to rest today, suffering from stomach cancer no more. We love you.

Heather Keenan

On the 17th of July I found a very small, very sick kitten. After several vet visits, and round the clock feeding and nursing she began to get well. I named her Twinkie.

Instead of the years I assumed we would have together, God blessed me with the privilege of sharing Twinkie's life for only one short month. She died of an incurable disease and nothing I could have done would have changed that. At least for one month of her short life, she had shelter and care, but most of all, she knew she was loved.

Twinkie, I miss you so much but I know you are happy playing with all the other furbabies at Rainbow Bridge. You will be in my heart forever little munchkin. I will meet you at the Bridge.

Love, Mommy

Twinkie filled our life with unconditional love and she is missed terribly. We only hope that she is happy and knows that we still love her and miss her so very much.

Michael Maxwell

Twinkle... you were my pal/roommate/unconditional friend for over ten years. I miss you so much. My heart is broken.. but I know the memories will help it mend. I'm so lucky to have had you in my life.

Leighanne

Twinky, a tiny toy Poodle, was my companion for 15-1/2 years. Today, I made one of the hardest decisions in my life and that was to have her put to sleep. She was snow white spirited bundle of love. Even though the infirmities of age caught up with her, she never lost her feistiness nor her everlasting desire for attention. My heart is broken and I will miss her forever. Please remember her in your tributes. Thank you, Mary

I love you my very special baby. I will always remember your complete honesty and politeness, you kisses, and your smell. We miss you so bad baby boy.

Stacey & Jeff

Tyche was a wonderful, gentle, strong, loyal and beautiful white Akita, with a brown head, ears and neck and two big brown spots on her body, and a huge curly tail. We had her for twelve years........then suddenly cancer took her. We were hit so hard.......one week she was happily walking with us, and the next week we had to say good bye. We just want everyone who reads this to know how luck we were to have her........and how much we miss her. I hope there is a heaven, so I can see her, and my whole family again.

Gloria Boone

I love you forever. You will always live in my heart. I am sorry I sent you to this home. You know I would never have done that if I know what would have happened.

I wish you all the best in your next life, free from suffering, confinement and pain. May you rest in peace.

Love, Mom

Lily Chan

Tyke was my heart, and always will be. We only had him for three short years, but the love will last a lifetime.

Claudia A Mouery

Tyler baby,
your mom misses you very much. She was sorry that she wasn't with you when you went to heaven.
Please pray for her, she will have a very hard time getting over your loss. Please pray for Peaches too. She misses you and doesn't understand why her brother isn't coming home.
JR and I miss you and know that we will see each other in heaven someday.
Say hi to Fluffy for us.
Love,
Mary

I love & miss you, sweet kitty.

Christina Hill

Ty-Ty,
Thank you for being my best friend for so long. I miss you so very much.
Mommy

Tyler is a very special baby. He gave me all of his love I know in heaven he will comfort those as well as receive comfort. I will miss you deeply, momma loves you very much, God bless you sweet angel of mine.

Jennifer France

My heart aches for the loss of my "baby" Tyler. He was the best pet anyone could ever want. Part cat, part dog and part human I believe. He had the poise and beauty of a cat, the companionship, happy tail wagging and puppy-like following of a dog, and the intuition and eyes of a person. No longer in pain, no more suffering, poor boy. I pray you are in a better place and that you are happy, my little Tyler. My best buddy. You gave so much love - our home is empty without you.

Tyler Bryan was adopted about 12 years ago by my sister and mom. Tyler was an abused dog and had quite the temper on him! Somehow my sister and my mom decided to bring this little black moody dog into our lives when I thought they were out of their minds! Quickly I saw that he gravitated to my little sister, becoming quite protective! We could not sit by her or even say her name without him letting us know with a bark and a growl that she was HIS! Tyler became a family pet and has lived a long life that began with abuse and thanks to my mom and sister had many more years of love! We all came to love our "Ty-Ty" even if he was always completely loyal to the two faces that saw something in his eyes that day at the shelter, they saw past the attitude, fear and abuse and saw an angel to love. Tyler did finally let us adopt another dog a few years later, Sassy who has always been his best friend and snuggle partner. Tyler is getting tired now and will be going to rainbow bridge in the morning (10-31-02) I know this is one of the hardest days for my family and Sassy who will probably miss him more than us. I applaud my mother for choosing to give Tyler the last great act of love, a humane ending to the story of our protector, companion and loyal friend. Tyler you will be missed but never forgotten! We all love you and our hearts will never forget Tyler Bryan! The Mahans and Sassy

Our beloved companion and friend, you brought such joy to our lives. You taught us simple truths about love, trust and happiness. I know that Adam finally knows that there is a world beyond this one and that you will be waiting there for us one day. Thank you for helping him believe. I will miss your smile and your company, which I had come to rely on. In your short time with us, our adopted pal, you became part of our hearts. We will miss you always and love you forever.

Kristen

Tyler "T".
You were my "Best Friend" for 17 years. It will not be the same without you. I think of you every day. You were one of a kind. Everyone that met you, loved you for you had the personality unlike that of any other cat. I will wait for the day that we can find each other again at the Rainbow Bridge. Look for me as I will be looking for you.
May God bless you and watch over you. Until then, remember, I love you.

Sandy

In loving memory of my very special friend, Tyson. You will always be loved and remembered. I was very lucky to have you in my life!

Beryl Feser

Tyson, you gave us enough love to last a lifetime. We know you are watching over us every day now and we will never forget the fun you added to our lives.

N. Gooden

We love you more than we can ever express and will forever be in our hearts, little man.
Till we meet again, Goodnight Tyson

All our love
Mum and Dad

The most loveable 120 pound dog ever!

Your name was Zodiac at first, because you were born in a boot, but we decided to change it to Tyson, after Mike Tyson. You sure grew into your name, you proved to be a fighter!

When you were a puppy, you chewed things, but we forgave you. When you were a puppy I would sneak you into my room at night, Dad hated that, but we got away with it.

You got along with our Cocker Spaniels - Coco and Shadow, something not easily done by any other dog. You loved to be a lap dog, even when you were 120 pounds!! You loved to play ball, you could play ball for hours. You loved to go camping, you would swim for hours, you would make the biggest burps. You were such a gentleman, you let us go through the front door before you, then you would wait until we invited you in. You loved to sit on the porch couch while we watched TV, you would watch us and protect us. You would greet us when we drove down the hill. You were a great guard dog, you scared many of garbage men, postmen, and UPS men. You would chase animals that were on TV, you actually thought they were in the living room.

You had many challenges, we saw you through your back surgery and you were a good patient. You were a trooper. We tried to give you as many days as we could with no pain. You were a very strong dog!

We miss your smile, your hand shakes, your peeing on everyone's tires...... We will miss your loud bark at those sirens or fireworks! We will forever miss your company, you are deeply missed TyTy!!!!

We love you and will never forget you.

We have your paw print, your lock of hair, many pictures of you to share, and most of all you have are hearts forever!!!

As you arrive in doggie heaven and watch over us, we will soon meet again, you just wait for us!

Our precious Tyson loved so dearly we will miss you so very much. You will always have a special place within our thoughts and within our hearts. We will never forget you and we will always hold onto the belief that we will be reunited with you again soon. So sleep now peacefully, your endless journey has begun and there is peace forever more. The lord is your keeper and you are his little lamb. He will shelter your spirit and we will be with you again when the Lord makes it so. But for now our little one, we will remember how much you enriched our lives with your presence.

Diane Dacko

A gentle giant and trusted friend.

Randy

You were the best dog I have ever known and to be a part of your life for 11 years was not nearly enough. It was an honor to be your person and I will miss you everyday until we meet again.

Cara Madlom

We know that you have gone to the never-ending doggy buffet in the sky.

Mike, Mary, and Michael

We cannot believe how much you are missed, we love you very much and miss you more than words can say.
Sleep tight our fluffy little baby.
Always in our hearts never from our thoughts.

Stephen & David

Tyson Lee, we miss you so much, Mauricio loved you like a son and even though he was not here when you left us, you will always hold a huge piece of his heart. I feel so lucky to have known you and spent the last 3 and a half years with you. You gave us many wonderful memories with you sticky lips and two teeth. You gave our daughter love and companionship that no other dog could replace. There will never be another one like you. We will sorely miss you. We love you Bubby!!!!! Love, Mauricio, Gustavo, Heather, Alegra, Maria, Layzie and Flobie xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

We Burn Candles Every Dec 15th in memory of Tyson that died so tragically by being killed by a bitch from Germany. He fought for nearly one hour to live trying to get away from her, she kept grabbing his throat. He lived from Sat, at 5:30, Dec 14th to Sunday, Dec 15 at 9:30. He had a hole in his trachea from the dog fight she got into our home and killed him needlessly. She was a trained Shutzhund1 dog from Germany we imported for breeding, needless to say, she left her quickly after loosing Tyson our dear loving pet of ten years. So sadly missed by the family and grandchildren.
