Year 2004 Tributes

Gabbi thru Gypsy Rose

Gabbi, We miss you so much. You left our lives in a way that should never have happened. We still call your name and just cannot believe you are gone. We love you and one day we will see you again running over the bridge to meet us.

Herb & Ruth

Little one, you had such a rough life before you became a part of my family. I so wish we could have been blessed with more time together, but I cherish the time we did share. You suffered so much, but gave so much more love for one so frail. You are an amazing little creature. You will forever be a part of my and take a piece of my heart with you.

Diana

We miss you so much, but one day we hope we will meet you on Rainbow Bridge

Herb & Ruth

I miss my best friend! I miss her laying under my feet and running to the kitchen everytime she heard us getting ice from the icemaker. She loved crunching on ice. I miss her toenails across the kitchen floor. She stayed by my side every minute I was at home. Gabbie was always faithful and loving. I never even knew there was a health problem lurking beneath the scene. She never showed anything was wrong until it was too late. The day she died. We found out early that morning that she was a severe anemic and the Dr. started her on some treatment. She died at 11:10 that night. I was right there with her and it tore my heart out when she took her last breath, but I am so thankful and so much richer having had her in my life. I love you Gabbie Girl. Thanks for always loving me!

Wendy Sipes

Gabby was a loving, energetic, caring dog loved by all. She was often said in our family to be the "best dog". We miss her and pray for her, and hope she is watching us from the Rainbow Bridge.

Dana

You were one of the brightest parts of each and every day that we were privileged to have you. We miss you tremendously, Gabbie, and look forward to seeing you on Rainbow Bridge.

Kit Taylor and Don Mendres

Gage was an older fellow who came to MMBR full of heartworms. Left for years untreated they caused Gage to have problems with his heart even after going through treatment to kill the heartworms. Gages health issues made it impossible to find a placement for him and MMBR decided that the kindest thing we could do was to send him to the bridge with love and dignity. Gage went to the Rainbow Bridge on February 10, 2004. Now he is pain free, healthy and free of all the problems his life on earth caused for him.

Mid Michigan Boxer Rescue

Our little piggy, you have been gone for only a few short hours and our lives feel so hollow. How can we sleep without your snores?
You will live in our hearts and in our memories for as long as we draw breath. You will be deeply missed, our sweet angel piggy pug.
We love you and miss you.
Daddy and Mommy

The sweetest best companion ever.
He is missed every moment of every day.
I am lost without him and he can never ever be replaced.

Wendy Whittick

I miss you, cutie pie. You were a sweet loyal and loving little charmer with personality to spare. I respected your tenaciousness and enjoyed the short time you were with me. I'll never forget your sleepy face when you greeted me at the shelter, or your naps behind the couch cushions. I remember on the day you died you had tried to jump up in my lap in the chair- I tossed myself in it carelessly, and you came running over the minute I did and bounced right up in my lap. I made you get down, but if I had know what was coming, I would have grabbed you right up and not let you go, not ever. I miss you so much, you were such a good boy, you had your quirks, but the were a part of You so I loved them equally. I miss you so much, here it is almost a year later and the grief hasn't dulled. Most days I manage to just not think about it- but that little Gandalf-shaped hole in my heart will always be there. I miss you so much, loyal companion and master of unconditional loving.

Kasi Lewis

Garfield was (it's so hard to use past tense) the sweetest kitty that ever lived!
He had no negative personality quirks about him at all.
He was always gentle and kind and loving.
He preferred quiet people.
His brother Sammy was the spokeskitty for the two of them - letting me know when it was dinnertime or snacktime.
Garfy would just come and look at me as if to humbly say "If you don't mind, I'm kind of hungry so if it's not too much trouble could you please get me a little something and if not that's ok too.
I understand."
He used to watch me eat and want to have "a bite" and would sit politely looking at me as though I was the best person in the whole world and occasionally reach out gently with his little paw toward me to let me know he was there waiting patiently.
Rarely he'd say "meow" very quietly.
Most of the time he spent looking at me as though he adored me.
I hate to admit it - but it's true - he looked at everyone that way too.
If you'd known him too you'd know why it hurts to come home and see all the little places he liked to sit or nap or groom or eat or watch birds.
He used to sleep on my bed at night and stretch out one of his paws to touch me or rest his head on my shoulder.
Now those places are empty and it's just me and his brother Sammy.
I'm showering him with extra attention because Garf's illness was hard on him too.
Garfy was a very loving, quiet presence in my house, but now it seems the silence is deafening.
It may sound silly, but I treasure each tiny little wad of his pretty fur that I find around the house.
It's a precious reminder to me that my baby really was here with me.
Garfy, me and brother miss you so much.
We love you.
You are in my heart and always will be!

Ginny

She was a very loving cat.
We loved her very much and she will be missed.

Andrew and Marilyn

Garfield we will miss you greatly. You had the most kind and gentle spirit of any animal or human I have ever known. Thank you for all the time you gave us. Thank you for being such a brave cat who fought most of his life against illnesses. God truly blessed us by allowing us to have almost 16 years with you. I know you are in heaven now and no longer suffering. You will live on in our hearts forever my special friend. I love you always.

Carleane

Beloved friend and companion.

Paula Woodward

This was a kitten left behind in an empty apartment with his mom. We found another home for his mom but could not bear to lose him. He loved everyone and would headbutt you until you petted him. He loved my daughter Julia (born the same year) and lived a full and loved life. He lived as he wanted to live and died in the place he loved. He will be missed and we will always remember him. 19 years is a long time for a cat but just the blink of an eye for the family and the girl who loved him. Farewell old friend - we shall see you again some day.

Chris Neisser

To the best dog a family could ever have. My Putter's, we will miss you forever and love you even longer. You are in our heart's and soul until we meet again.

The Whitney's

We love and miss you both more than words can say --- you are now together again. You were the best dogs that anyone could ask for. We will all meet again one day at the Rainbow Bridge. We love you!!

Rob, Cindy and Ryan

Such a loving and devoted friend, one that protected and expressed unconditional love to anyone who loved her, and will always remain in my heart.

Beverly Browning

Geek Ball was named by my 2 year old nephew Cole I had gotten the kitten from a friend for my nephew because on March 29th he lost his beloved cat Pooh bear it was hard on him and Cole's mother it broke my heart to see Cole constantly looking for Pooh Bear Geek ball's mother passed away so we took her in and hand fed her special kitten formula she seemed to be doing well but we lost her we grew to love this little white furbaby that was originally supposed to be called cotton ball. I am comforted however though that Pooh Bear will be there to greet her.

Michele, Krista,Trista, Justin, Chuck, and Cole

Geemo I miss you!
You were the sweetest dog ever and I miss your smile.
No one is as wonderful as you are and remember I loved you
very, very, very, very, very much.

Carolyn

Gek,

You were our "favorite one". We love and miss you so much. We miss playing cat games with you. We miss the way you always melted our hearts. We will miss you following us on our walks and the way you liked to help in the garden. You were so much more than a cat. You were a friend to all of us. The girls will miss the way you snuggled with them at night. Ryan will miss chasing you. Dad will miss wrestling with you, and I will always miss the way you purred when I held you. We will hold you in our hearts forever.

Callie, Roger, Catherine, Caleigh and Ryan

She was truly a gem of a pet and loving companion.
She is greatly missed.

Beth L'Homme

Gem was with me since she was a pup. She was the most wonderful friend I have ever had. I miss her more than I can begin to put in words.

He was a playful lovable little guy. We miss him so much.

Dorothy/Judy Champion

You passed in a place exactly where you wanted to be. This I know. I will miss you each day of my life and will never forget you. You brought all of us joy and great happiness. One day, I will meet you in heaven and we will take those long walks that you always enjoyed. I love you my BubDee.

Annette

Genesis, 09/08/93-03/02/04

She was my best friend and she will be greatly missed.

Cheryl, Michael, McKayla Belfiore

To my Genie: I have missed you every second. I would give part of my life to have you back with me. We did not have enough time together. If only I had held you back when they opened the door to leave. I have your penguin; he stays in the bed now. I love you forever, doll. I will see you again and we will be together forever, with you in my lap.

Holly Walker

I fell in love with that sweet little black puppy what seems like yesterday. Over the past 9 years you grew and became a fine lady. So many people commented on how friendly you were and how well behaved. How many Miniature Schnauzers get featured in the Scottish Games? No matter how tired or hungry you always had a waggly tail and a friendly face for someone in need of one.

Far too soon before your time, God saw fit to take you back. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life to give you to him, but I did so knowing that one day you will greet me again and show me the way home.

Till then, try not to boss the angels around too much!

Robert and Linda Kaliski

You were my first born and you will be greatly missed!!!

Brenda Birdsall

I adored you and cherished every minute I spent with you. I will miss scratching your tummy sooo much buddy.

George...
To your courage...

David Herrmann

It's been more than a year, and you are still looked for in the bathroom every morning and at the door, wishing you could go out, every evening. Your sister, Madison, is now up there to keep you company. I love you, Georgie.

GEORGINA

12/21/92 - 05/15/04

I remember when we first tried to get you. You had gotten into a fire ant hill. So we had to wait until you were better before we could bring you home. Typical of you being noisy, like going through the grocery bags.

I remember how well you got along with the kids and even the cats. I know, the many kittens too.

I remember the two of us taking naps together in the recliner before both of us got too big.

I remember how embarrassed you were when we put your new sweater on, you know, the one Santa Clause brought you for Christmas.

I remember when we took you to the beach. How you wanted to be in the water with us, not on the beach. You swam out to us and I would hold you up so you didn’t get tired.

I remember how you liked to chase tennis balls but you'd never bring them back.

I remember you and I sitting on the front porch after the hurricane when the power was out. Both of us content just listening to the scanner and the radio. This is when you learned to stay with me when we were outside.

I remember when you met Buster your new neighbor, you ran in the house to get me, when I didn’t come right away, you came back in, with a sense of urgency, "telling" me to come right now!

I remember how much we liked to grill on the deck. Buster enjoyed it too.

I remember how much you loved to ride with momma and me. We would go through the drive-through at Hardees and get you a large order of french fries. You sure loved them but didn’t think much of the teller.

I remember how smart you were. You knew exactly what I was saying and obeyed me most of the time.

I remember how you got so excited when momma would say "daddy's home".

I remember how you listened to what I was saying when I would talk to you and I would wonder what you were thinking. I believe sometimes I did know what you were thinking.

I remember how much you absolutely loved cheese. We tricked you once by offering you some cheese or the brush; it was a toss up so you got both.

I remember when you started getting older and you couldn't quite get around as well. I tried to make it easier, less painful but I don't think I did very good with that.

I will never forget today. You were in the computer room when I was trying to take you to the vet. You didn’t want to go. I know you knew it was time, I wasn't sure that I knew but you did. I can only hope you didn’t suffer after I left you. I could not bare to stay with you when they put you to sleep. I couldn't even sign the papers. I didn’t even say goodbye. I'm so sorry George! Please forgive me.

I don't know if dogs go to heaven, but I sure hope so. I hope I see you there. I hope you remember me. I’ll always remember you.

I remember I lost a dear friend today.

Goodbye "George", I sure do miss my girl.

Tim & Theresa Tyson

We were meant to be together.
I loved you from the day you were born and I'll never stop.
Don't be afraid, we'll be together again someday.
I love you, little man.

Thom Roe

He will be missed very deeply

Maria Lozoya

My sweet baby for 16 years.
Loved and missed so much.

B. Holley

Forever in our memory

Debbi Sarmiento

Ghost-ee I love you and always will...forever my darling girl

Lex McKenna

To my sweet Pooh-da-Dawgy Gibby, it's been almost a month now and I can just can't stop crying. Since the first time I saw those pretty little eyes and touched that silky fur I knew I could love you no deeper if you were my human child. You were and always will be mommy's pride and joy. Our lives and our house are not the same without your fluffy head and feisty bark. Your daddy misses you and so does your kitty sissy. Even Mr. Babbit wants to know where his hurdle went. I can't see how this pain will ever stop other than knowing that you are watching over me and will be there as I cross the bridge to meet you some day. I hope you have found T-Bone and are running and chasing with him now. And, Bone I miss you much too.

May God hold you both in his hands and cradle your heads the way mommy loved to. Some day you will come back to me again, or at least open my heart for another whom you have sent. I know this and I promise you that I will try to listen and not pass up that opportunity.

Watch over me my friend, with those big brown eyes. Keep me safe with that loud roaring bark. Heal my heart with the knowledge that you are happier and healthier now. Mommy misses you babydawg.

Gidget was my little fat buddy. She was the toughest bravest little girl I have ever known. AIHA took her from us. Our hearts will never be whole until we are reunited with her.

Ray and Lynsey Celebucki

My beloved Gracie: You only spent 8 months on this earth with us, but you were loved and cherished and adored the moment I saw you being born. We all loved you so much and your family mourned your horrible, needless death. I hope our dearest Toby is with you at the Bridge right now so you are not alone. I miss you so much my little angel. Please wait at the Bridge for me with Toby, I can't wait until the day we are together again. I love you always and miss and think of you every day. Love, Mom and the rest of the family

My precious baby girl, GiGi. She was a tan colored, mix breed Chihuahua and Rat Terrier could have been 16 plus years. She resembled a little fox. She was found on the street in New Jersey. I gave her a loving and caring home. Her kidneys failed due to her age. She and I lost her younger brother and most definitely her soul mate, Pounder. He passed away at either 10 or 12 years of age. His exact age was not known due to he was adopted from the Key West Animal Shelter in 1994 and was said to be 3 to years old. he passed away 7/15/01 from Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia. I still miss him dearly. He was a red shorthaired standard Dachshund. Whom she and I loved dearly. I am sometimes jealous that she will now be reunited with Pounder her long lost friend and love of her life. She knew Mommy had to stay to care for her little brother, Ouncer (a miniture long haired black and tan Dachshund)and her little sister Canela ( a miniture short haired black and tan Chihuahua).

Darlene Garcia

Rest in peace, sweet girl!

Lea & Alan Kirschner

Gillie was a friend's cat and when he lost his hind leg to cancer and needed to become an indoor cat, she (being a big dog foster mom) could not keep him indoors, so I took him. The cancer returned and for a year and a half Gillie went through treatments that kept the inoperable and aggressive cancer at bay. He did VERY well and was always spry and friendly, greeting every stranger with purrs and head-butts.
One night he died in his sleep of unknown causes. He only lived with me for a year and a half, but the imprint he made on my heart is eternal.

Chris Church

My beautiful baby Gina. I love you so, If we had known that coyotes were at our home, and able to be in our yard, we would not have let you be in danger. I will miss you wholeheartedly, until we meet at the bridge. Please do not forget me my friend.
Love, Tracy

My dear Ginger, I miss you so much. I love you so much. May GOD bless and keep you safe. Your loving friend, Wayne.

Dear, sweet Ginge . . . I learned all about love and happiness from little-bitty you. Living with you was the best year of my life -- you made our house a home! I have nothing but happy memories of our times together. I always said you were my angel and now you really are, and will be forever. You are the best, just like I always told you.

Thank you, Ginge, for finding me and sharing your life with me. I miss you so much -- your sweet little kisses and your warm hugs. But I feel you in my heart.

I love you, Mommy

Ginger was a dog that I begged my mother to get me in 8th grade. She was very opposed. The last dog she had passed away a few years before of cancer. After a week of begging my mom finally agreed, but she would pick out the puppy from the litter of 8. The puppy she picked out was not the fluffy dog I wanted to name buddy. Instead it was the skinny one with the odd shaped ears with a white tip on the end of her tail. I was dissapointed. We took her home. She was wonderful. Training was a nightmare. She would go on bike rides with me, walks around the block and bark everytime the doorbell rang. She cuold destroy a room in seconds flat. I remember when I was driving home from work and saw an Albino ground hog. I have never seen one before and starting pointing it out. Ginger saw it too, she wiggles her way through teh open window and began chasing it and running through the feild. That was a funny day! That was our Ginger. When I was in college firends would come over. She would get so excited she would pee on their feet. Remembering times like that make me smile. I moved on to Colorado and Ginger remained with my mom, now to become her mom. Although my mother always complained to have her move with me to Colorado, she loved having her. As the years passed by Ginger became calm. she would go on trips, car rides and swimming. She loved hanging her head out the car window to get a sniff of what is around. Ginger made her last trip out here to Colorado just a month ago. She got to play with my 2 year old son. He loved her, and as Grandma drove off the next morning he awoke asking "where did Ginger go?". Ginger will be missed. She had a great life. You are in our hearts Ginger.

Jane Trevino

Ginger, we love you and miss you very much. You enriched our lives more than we could ever say. Your little paw prints will always be in our memories.

Tracy Phillips

Ginger well what can you say about Ginger just looking at him made you smile he was a very loving cat we all miss you dear friend and hope your chasing butterflies in heaven but not catching them. *Smile* ^..^__)~

Debra

Ginger had a wild heart that could not be tamed even with great TLC. After she was spayed, she changed radically and became distant and mean. We were very sorry to lose her.

Karen

She went away quietly though the cancer was not so quiet. She was full of love and gave one last gift by waiting for me to be out of sight before she passed and my son too. God bless her.

Lisa Parsley

A member of my family left me today, a baby sister, a comforter, a joy, a love, my dog left the earth today. She was my first dog. She was the one who comforted me when I was sad, who celebrated my successes, made me laugh, made me smile, and a few times made me mad, but she never had to make me love her, that was always there. My house is so quiet, my bed is so lonely, and I am so empty. I miss the jingle of her collar, her wet nose, her bad breath and her hard as rock head; I miss her orange eyes, her white paint drops and dark brown fur. I miss my friend, I miss Ginger.

Cassandra Schwartz

I miss you!

Lynn Barton

You will always be "The Pooh" who has graced my life with your charms, your spirited intelligence, and the lives of everyone who loved you.

Janet Plummer

Our "Darling GINGER"...you have always been your daddies pride and joy ever since we first brought you into our home. You have always been there to make us both so much happier every day of your life, even until the very end. We did not expect for you to leave us so very suddenly as you did, and still wonder to this day, what really caused you to go down-hill so very fast. We could not stand seeing you just lying there on your favorite spot (the love-seat) and not able to move about at all...when you lifted your little head a few times, you seemed so very ill and weak, and was trying to hang on, but we knew in the back of our minds, there was something drastically not right with you and you were on your way out....to finally cross the "Rainbow Bridge" with all the rest of the doggie friends too. You don't know how much pain and tears your daddies wept for you in knowing you were leaving us, once and for all. We knew you were probably suffering inside so very badly, and just could not hang on any longer. You have brought both of so much joy, laughter, and happiness the past 14 years we had you as a part of our lives together, and I cannot wait till the day finally comes for me too, to be able to see you once again, and welcome you with open arms, as we cross the "Rainbow Bridge" together. Your daddies are having a very hard time trying to deal with this tragic loss of "our little angel"...who we loved so very very dearly and miss so much now. No other doggie could ever replace you or the love you hold for us in our hearts...We are truly very heart-broken and so saddened that you had to leave us this way and go on to doggie heaven. One day, we will meet up once again, I promise you that, and you will be right there next to Daddy Bob or Daddy Chris, putting your little paw in our hand, like you always did before and also giving us doggie kisses, as you so liked doing. We truly miss you every single day now that you have left us, and there is not a day that goes by that you are not on our minds....but always remember, "YOU" are forever in our hearts!!! WE LOVE YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH!!!

Robert Dillon & Chris Mulhall

Ginger was a great dog and it was really hard to say goodbye to her, but we know now that she is no longer in pain. We love her so much and miss her already. She was a part of our family and no dog will ever replace her, not even the best dog in the entire world. We love you GiGi, our little baby girl. We'll see you again someday. Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sissy and Bonzai

Our little baby girl died in my husbands arms with me whispering love in her ear today. We will miss her horribly but know she needed to go. We love her so much.

Melody

Ginger, You were only 9 years old when you left us. Time was cut so short. I am so glad that I had you at least for the time that God allowed. We miss you and still think of you. In our family, our furbabies are truly members of the family. And we love forever. Miss you, Ginger.

The Pesce Family

My angel, Ginger, was taken from my family and I on Feb. 10, due to cancer.
She was a truly amazing and thoughtful dog. I will never forget when we first received her on that Christmas Day and she came bounding out of the laundry room, all white and fluffy, and into my arms. Her joy and compassion proved that she was a true family member of ours. As the years passed on we never failed to take her on all of our car rides, even if we had to fit my sister, Ginger, and I in the back seat of a Camry. She used to be small enough to fit up in the window behind the seat until one day she got a little stuck and realized she was too big for that habit.
She basically potty trained herself and never had to walk on a leash. People would always comment on how wonderful of a dog we had and they would always try to find a dog as perfect as Ginger was. Many tried, but there was only one Ginger. We did regret spading her though, because we didn't know how precious she would be to us and if we would have known how rare she was....well that is in the past.
Ginger made sure to make that special bond with everyone she came into contact with. I remember in the spring and summer seasons if frogs would fall into our pool and were helpless, Ging would reach her mouth into the pool and very safely hold them there until she could make it to the grass where she would let them go.
She loved car rides the best though...and the park...any sign of those two words and she headed for the door. She knew what "front seat" and "back seat" meant. She knew if we would say "stay off the street" we meant business. She knew a whole lot. She was so amazingly smart.
When I would come home from college she would be sitting outside with my mom or dad, and as soon as my door opened there she was whimpering with joy and begging to take my keys for me. She always had to help carry something in when we would come back from the grocery store, post office, college, etc. She would proudly trot inside the house and give us whatever she had taken in and then she would go to her treats and sniff and then look at us. Ginger was so spoiled. She deserved it though. But she was spoiled. She was the princess. She was our baby. She was and now officially is our angel.
Ginger dealt with some immense pain over this past year but always seemed to keep it inside...making sure never to whimper, but always to give kisses to her family.
How I will miss seeing her hair crinkle up when she got out of a bath or the pool, or hearing her whimper with joy as we came home from a trip, or being a hero and saving the frogs from the pool, or opening her presents, or laying her little head and paws up on my arms as we would lay together. I'll miss her being able to see right through all of us and read our true feelings. I'll miss the smell, the comfort, the companionship. No one knows how bad it hurts to lose a dog unless they have had one. No one knows the bond. No one knows sorrow.
I can't stop the tears, the anger, the sharp pain in my heart. I can however remember all the great times we shared together. My favorite memories involve Ginger and the water. She would take her tennis ball into our pool and if no one was out there to throw it for her, she would paw the ball down over the water jets and let it flow out, then chase after it...Ginger could do this for hours. When my sister and I were little we would go on campout with my dad and the first thing Ging would do was head for the pond to play amongst the ducks. They never wanted to play with her but she always had fun. The seasons changing was never a factor when it came to Ginger and water. I remember often times she would jump into the pool in the middle of winter and then emerge with icicles on her coat. We would laugh and she would cock her head in confusement.
I never knew how bad this could be. I thought I was prepared because I didn't want her to be in pain anymore, but I think I was lying to myself. I have lost an immediate family member, and my grief has only begun. Things are going to be different I know, but I pray that
God will help my family through this. Ginger is taking care of us in Heaven I know. My best friend told me that this is how it had to be.
So goodbye to my Ginger dog. Daddy's lil running partner, Mommy's favorite child,
Ashley's angel baby, and DD's best friend. You were more than families could ask for. We were truly blessed to have you in our life. Thanks for the memories and we will see you at the Gates baby. I Love and Miss Ginger.

Ashley Day

Hey Ginger (Gingersnap, Gingavitis),

You were with me for so long! You and I went through a lot of things together. You don't know hard it was for me to say goodbye. The cancer was just too strong. I wish we would have caught it sooner. At least we had another year together. I hope you are happy and not in any pain. We will be together again some day. Love you, Momma Lisa

We love you Ginger! Thank you for being such a loving animal. We will forever keep you in our hearts. Momma and Dadda's "Ginger Girl."

Christina and Travis Teel

My baby girl. My best friend. The day you came into my life was the happiest day of my life. Thank you for so many wonderful memories.

Larry

Ginger I miss you terribly. This past week has been horrible watching you suffer while the vets tried to help but were baffled by your illness. We all felt so desperate trying to save you. You were so young--barely four. We all love you so much. You always were so sweet and patient with the kids. I'll miss the way that you leaned up against me and put your paw on my leg when you wanted more attention. The way you looked so lovingly at me. All of us were so proud that you were a part of our family. I am so glad that we adopted you. Even in all the pain you were in you were always so good natured and loving. There is a special place in my heart for you that will never be filled. I have never known a dog as special as you. We all love you. Debbie

Dear Ginger, I miss playing with you! I love you and I always will. Please don't forget me! I will never ever forget you never. I also miss laying on you a lot! I have a poem with your picture on it. I miiiiiss you a lot I'm not kidding! Don't worry about me I will see you at rainbow bridge when my time comes. I love you a lot and I know you love me too! I'll be thinking of you. Love, Kasey

Ginger and Haley. Together again. Tell daddy hello.

Dorris Singleton

To my bestest friend-

You touched everyone that knew you and a few who didn't. No one was happy to see you leave this world. But I know that you left us peacefully and you were not in pain. I also know that I will see you down the road. But until then I'll keep my head up like you would want me to. We'll never forget you.

Ellie Glanville

Our sweet baby girl was such a big part of our lives that it is hard to let go for a while. We love her and miss her terribly. We know the last 11 years have been the best ever because of her unconditional love and beautiful spirit. Although she is gone, she lives on forever in our hearts and memories, never to be forgotten. We will always love our little Ginger. Love, mommy & daddy

Ginger: You were a wonderful companion to our family and we love and miss you so much. You will always be remembered. Love, Janet, Jack, Jon, Jess, Jason

Ginger was only 4 1/2 pounds but had more love in her then 100 dog. So many time in the 16 years, you were here to picked me up when I just couldn't go on. Without you in my life I don't think I could have made it this far. You are gone now and I am so lost. Other people say there dog was the best in the world, but I know you were the best there ever was or ever will be. You have fun in the rainbow, you run like you use to and play as in your younger days. Chase them rabbits with the speed you once had even tho you never caught one don't think you ever wanted to you just loved the chase. You were my strength to face the day you told me all would ok, but now you are gone and I am so lost. I hope the day comes soon that we my be together again. Gone now but never forgotten (ginger do) I love you with all my heart and soul! Your friend
Rodd

Our little princess.This one was full of mischief and she was the cutest and most adorable that a hamster could be. She lived in a three cage mansion at one point. She also took a picture perfect, posing with a strawberry on a red carpet for the camera man, Mike. WE love and miss her bunches. xo

Kat and Mike

Ginger was the most wonderful understanding friend I have had, her source of love in my life was and still is so great, she was always there for me, unconditionally. My guigui, wherever you are, I dream of the day I will
see you again .

Susan Delgado

Gingi was our beloved pet and family member for seventeen years. He was such a wonderful animal and friend. We shared a special bond as we grew up together. He loved to eat cream cheese, and play with balls of tin foil. He was so loving and caring and whenever one of us would cry, he would come running and come sit with us meowing and comforting us. Gingi we miss you so much always, and still think about you every day. I know you're watching us in Heaven because I have dreams about you all the time. I miss you so much Gingi. I love you.

Karen, Anat, Abby, Hannah

Loving you was easy---missing you will be difficult---trusting you are whole and healed will be a daily blessing.

Dagmar Davis

Our baby, Gita passed at home with our family around her on Sunday 4/25/04, as she was humanely euthanized after a year long battle with a monster named fibrosarcoma. Gita was always a kind and gentle soul, someone, if you were to have met her, if she had been human, that was a comfort in bad times and always had a smile whenever you met them.. We put her to sleep when she had more bad days than good and we could see in her eyes the light growing dimmer..we had a truely family day..our vet had given us some "doggie-valium" to make her sleepy after her big special dinner. I held her face and talked to her and told her to run to heaven. I made her a butterfly necklace so she already had wings to help her to heaven...belle our other baby who had died in 2001 was there to greet her, I know, and our baby left this world surrounded by love to another kind of love in heaven..we know we will see her and our other babies, when we leave this life..but the pain of this loss is so deep each time we lose a baby....Gita..i love you baby..your pain is gone and I'll see you soon..love mom and dad

I'm gonna miss you wee wheels

Laura

Every time I see the sun breaking through the clouds I know you are there and you look upon me. I know that you will be patient and will wait until the time comes that we meet again.

Meijboom

For My Gizmo,

My first furbaby as an adult, who taught me what unconditional love is all about!
YOU ARE MISSED!!!!!!!

Anita Torchia

A little (less than a pound) cat adopted from the local animal shelter. This cat grew to own the house, he raised our dog and acted like he was the dog's mother up to the day he passed on. I miss him more than I ever thought possible and hope that I did the right thing as he had chronic renal failure and had lost a tremendous amount of weight.

J E Brady

My best friend, and my baby. He will always be loved. He was a stray and he ended up on my doorstep.
He was in bad shape then and no one thought that he would make it.
well, he did and in the short time that I had him he was a joy in my life. I can honestly say that I fell in love with him the very first time I saw him. He was a great cat,
and Tiger (his big brother) and I will miss him terribly.
He could make you smile even on your worst day.
A few weeks ago he was diagnosed with feline leukemia.
He's a fighter, but I couldn't let him suffer anymore no matter how much I loved him.
I ended up having him put down. I miss him very much but I know he's in a better place now and out of pain.
He will always be loved, and he will always have a special place in my heart.

Jeanette

Gizmo you are the best thing that has happened to we when we first crossed paths. I am so glad that you have no more pain and are young and frisky again. Your longtime companion Casper, Mariah, Tanner, Duke and your newly adopted sisters Kittle Little and Spike, All miss you very much. Good Bye for now. xoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Until we meet at the Rainbow bridge where we all cross it together. Your Momma Sonia

You came to us as a 5 day old handful of fur and meows, and grew to be our special friend. You were our companion, our protector, and KING of our castle. All the other family members (2 and 4 legged) knew you were the boss, and you always got your way. You were loved by everyone, and will always be with us. We love you and miss you, but know you are still watching over us.

Thank you Gizmo for being our baby.
You blessed and enriched our lives beyond words.
We will miss you forever.

Stephanie Couturier

Dear Gizmo--we had almost 11 wonderful years with you and you will be greatly missed by us as well as your sister, Sasha, and even our dog, Casey. I am so glad I was able to stay with you as you took your last breath and I hope you are at peace now. We love you very much. I am confident that you had a wonderful life--you were never sick your entire life and just enjoyed spending your days with Sasha or sitting in a window in the sun. We will miss you so much.

Sheila, Joe, Cody, Sasha, and Casey

Gizmo was the best friend we could have ever known. She followed me from room to room no matter how much I was doing around the house she was always right there in the same room. She brought so much joy to our lives. She is going to heaven today. She has cancer and is very ill. We had hoped this day would never come, but it has and it is by far the most difficult thing we have ever done, next to losing a parent. We love her and will always remember her with a smile on our face for all the joy she brought into our lives.

Rodney and Elaine Hart

The biggest heart in the smallest dog. Rest easy little man. I will love you always.

Anthony Willis

Gizmo was such a wonderful guinea pig, she was loved greatly by me and my family. I will truly miss her and so will her companion my other guinea pig Norton.
I love you Gizmo xoxoxo

Kelly

I miss you Giz, and Felix misses you too. It was such a shock to lose you, you were still my baby. Sleep tight sweetheart xxx

Jo

It has been two years now and my husband and I still miss our little Gizmo.
He was such a joy and wonderful companion to the both of us.
In our hearts we feel a sense of peace, because we know that he is truly at Rainbow Bridge.

Sandra D. Eller

Gizzy, You warmed my heart everyday for the past 11 yrs with that wonderful personality of yours. You've been my shadow, my closet friend & little soulmate whom I will always adore. You're a blessing & gift from GOD, whom I thank for the time we had together & until we're together again. Always know Mama loves her "little boy" & misses you terribly. You will be in my heart forever and thought of everyday & night. We "all" love you Giz.

GOOD-BYE (for now) Little Boy
Mama & Daddy

Gizmo you are greatly missed. I loved you like my brother and for those 14 and half years we grew up together, Saturday was the first night I had been without you, I couldn't stop crying for 2 days straight and every time you were mentioned I felt pain, but when you were buried, I suddenly felt at rest because I knew you were running around the farm with trixie. Though its been 2 weeks since you left, it doesn't feel like you left at all because every time I sit down I hear you walking towards me to say hello.
I know you're gona be waiting in heaven for me, there will be no dog to replace you, especially one who would sit down and clean the rabbits and cats.
luv u loads
Seanna

I'm so sorry I didn't see the signs of the infection sooner and get you help, now it's to late and your gone and I feel so lost without you. I stayed up with you and held you and rubbed your paws and knew you were leaving me. The other kitties just aren't you and I cannot bare being without you and not having you sleep next to me at night and purring so loud the neighbors could hear you. You'll be forever loved by me and never forgotten. I'll see you someday in rainbow heaven and then we will never part again.

Wendy

Gizmo was a great dog and friend for 14 years.
He was loved so much by his family, Mom, dad, Colleen, Aiden, Katie, Patrick, Nana and Papa.
He will be in our hearts forever until we meet again.
God bless you little Gizzy, and may the sun always shine down upon you, and may your bowl always be full of treats. Until we meet again, God bless you and we love you very much

The time has come, and though I know it's sadly true I can't believe your really gone and I'm here missing you!

Lohris Johnson

I remember well all those years ago when I collected you from the re-homing place you stood out from the rest with your big brown eyes and chocolate nose, I was told you had been returned twice and I vowed you would not be going back.

Through thick 'n' thin you stood by me you guarded our pub and our home you protected me and gave me unconditional love. I felt this year was going to be our last Christmas together as you were not quite yourself. It was the saddest day of my life when we started that final walk on Sat Dec 27th to see the vet. I knew you had had enough when you sat on the pavement and didn't want to walk any further.
You will live in my heart forever and your daddy Mikes, too.
Rest well, my Gizmo, until we meet again.

Run with the Angels But wait for Me,

Gizmo 1991-Dec 27th 2003

Steve Hedleu

We had 18 wonderful years together and he will always be a part of me.

Deena Coleman

Mother and Daughter...My best of friends..

Mark Smith

My faithful little doggie- I always called him my puppy. He had understanding big brown eyes, was red and blonde in color with tiny touch of white. Always there for everything. He was my fur baby. No one can ever replace him he gave love with all his heart and was given it back in the same way. I will always see him in my thoughts, my heart and in my spirit and I hope he sees the love he gave to us in his short ten years on this earth and he remembers it in his new life in doggie heaven. I hope to see him again at the rainbow bridge and spend eternity with his sweet little self right next to me. Love you Gizzy forever and ever.
Mommie

I have had Gizmo since he was a newborn pup. He has been a wonderful companion and friend for 9 years. I wasn't ready for him to leave me yet but I know God had his reason to take him. I know Giz is up there keeping my Dad company. I love you forever little buddy. See you again someday!

Melissa Bailey

I found Gizzie when he was just a kitten, on the side of the road. From that moment he became a part of our family. He passed away last night, surrounded by his toys, animals, and people that loved him. His best friend Tommie died three years ago, and though I wish Gizzie could have stayed with me a little longer, I know that Tommie was waiting to greet him at the Rainbow Bridge. Now they're together, waiting for me. I love you Gizzie. You will be missed so very much.

Tiffany Onkst

Chloe was a typical Briard.
Briards owners know what I mean.
Personality, personality, personality. She could make you laugh one minute and cry the next. She is truly missed by Glenn, Robin, Zack and Adam.

She was a member of our family.
This causes so much pain.
Chloe loved unconditionally.
She was so attached to us, and did more than we ever asked.

Glenn & Robin Eaton

Glory Anne your Daddy and Sarah are really going to miss you. I never got a chance to meet you but I did meet your Daddy and he was a wonderful person. From meeting him I learned how much he loved you and all his kids. Glory Anne your now free from all pain and playing with Jessie James again. I know that your Daddy will always be thinking of you and someday we will all meet again. Until that time Glory Anne remember Daddy Loves you.

Rhonda

Godiva, you will always be in my heart forever. Sweet, couirageous, loyal, strong and protective...I will always love you.

She was the best!

Rich and Dana

Much loved and deeply missed

Karen McGowan

To a sweet and loving family dog. We will miss your gentleness and the kindness in your eyes. We will miss the love you gave to all of us. Goodbye old girl. Love, Fran, Joe Kira and Aleesa

We love you Goldie.
Have fun up in Heaven and we'll see you soon.

John McKittrick

She was our golden cat that chose us to look after her.

Todd & Cindy

On the upcoming eve of your departure from us, I just wanted to remind you, and myself, how much we miss having you in our life. You were the kindest cat I've ever known...not to mention the goofiest. I miss playing "chase the ice cube" so much with you when I come home from work. I miss the conversations we used to have, even though you talked too much. :) Your sister, Misfit, misses you as well...she's a lot more like you these days. We miss you, Goldie. *hugs*

Dana and Denicee

Goldie was a wonderful, loving dog. She was so much a part of our family. No one could have asked for a better dog. She will always be missed and loved.

Gerri Goldman

Goldie was an abandoned dog that looked for her familiar face for a long time until I became her new familiar face. We shared just 3 years of her probable 17 years of life. She suddenly developed a respiratory condition, we were not optimistic. Goldie continued to have a strong spirit and was holding her own so I did what I could for her, just in case she would get better. Wednesday seemed to be the day of her improvement, we thought IV fluids would help. We had to wait at the vet for awhile and I went and ran some errands. When I got back I went to see her, she stood up as soon as she saw me, wagged her tail, attempted to drink some water and than suddenly headed for the door and my pickup on her own accord. I told the Doctor I would give her liquids at home and off we went. I helped her out of my pickup, she stood catching her breath. I walked into my house to get her juice; as I went I turned to look at her. She wagged her tail as our eyes met. I came right back out and she was not standing where I left her. I walked over to her favorite place - she had died at her favorite place. She was just waiting for me to take her home. She died with familiar faces that loved her.

Debi

Goldie had been dumped out here in the country. She found her way, half starved, into our barn and into our hearts. We will miss her antics and her affection. We loved Goldie and know she loved us. We will look for you just over the Rainbow Bridge.

Gary and Alana

My sweet darling Golden Girl......May you play happily at RBB until I arrive and sweep you back into my loving arms and then we can cross the Bridge together. I thank you for the ultimate act of selflessness and love that you commited for Mom and I. We shall never forget you for after all, aren't you my Golden Girl? My Cinderella? My Guardian Angel? I love you.....WE love you....You are sorely missed. Until we meet again my sweet little girl. Millions of kisses to you and dont forget to share them with Bear........XO Times Infinity
Your loving mommy, Parisa*

Dutch was my first showdog, first champion, first obedience title, therapy dog, and most of all true heartdog. He was a special goofy boy, always with a smile and eager to do anything I wanted of him - but he always added a little of his personality that made me smile. He loved going to rescue events; was a true ambassador for the breed with his gentle knowing spirit. He loved everyone... My sweet wonderful boy with the big head, soft thick ears, gentle smile and warm loving eyes... you are missed more than words can express. Much love forever to my wonderful boy.

Arlene Herr Blouch

We miss you so much Goliath. You were so gentle with everyone and so loving. Everyone who ever met you loved you. Cheyna your mate and your little sisters Gazoo and Moo Moo are missing you so much. I can't wait till I see you again and hold you in my arms once more.

Colette Decruyenaere

My beautiful little Golli, you will be missed more than you will ever know. There was so much still to teach you and learn, so many games to play and places to go. Jimmy misses you already too. Love and huggles, Ellen and Dave.

You lived a LONG GOOD life Goobie! And I'll never forget you!

Kathy

My beloved Goober, I miss you, but I know you are no longer in pain.
I will never forget my love for you and our time together.
God Bless You, I can't wait to be with you again someday.
I love you always.
Thank you for the years you've given me.

Michelle

We will be together again little guy
Love mommy

Precious pet will be missed by all who loved her. No more pain now for a valiant little animal who had the heart of a lion.

Cynthia Lee

In loving remembrance of our dear perfect Goomie, who passed on today of kidney failure.

Kristina and Caitlin Meredith

Gozy, you and I have always communicated with eyes without words, and I know you are always beside me and watching me with gentle sweet eyes, just like you used to be. I always love you. You made me so happy. Thank you, Gozy.

Hiroko Ishimaru

There's not enough hours in the day
not enough days in the year
not enough time left
to be able to say goodbye

no matter how long
its never enough
always be wishing
for one minute more

and when you are gone
I will wish on still
for even one more second
so I can say goodbye

Jaime Ann Finley

I miss your loud purring and the way you always had some thing funny that you did that made us all laugh out loud. You are in our hart for ever dear Grisen. Run on now for ever on the green grass that lasts for ever and be happy with Nala and all your new friends.

Cicki Hasselblad

Gracie Elizabeth you were my world. The constant thing in my life that never judged me. I miss you so very, very much. I wish I could have done more to ease the pain that you were in during the last week of your life. I tried everything I possibly could. The vet, the neurologist, myself, no one could do anything for you. The brain tumour you had was just too far gone. I hope you know I was there yesterday for an hour and a half before they took you. Did you know all your toys were there? Did you know I curled up behind you like we always slept together? Did you feel me kissing your nose? Did you hear me singing the lullaby that always calmed you down? Did you hear me telling you I would always love you? I hope that you knew I was there. The night before I had also visited you. Did you know I was there then? You breathing was different when I first got there. 3 shallow breaths in and 1 out. Then about 45 minutes into my visit your breathing had returned to normal, 1 breath in and 1 breath out. Was that your way of letting me know you knew I was there? I will be bringing you home next week. Can you believe I found an urn that was shaped like a rock? You always loved bringing into the house rocks from around the ac unit. You would flip them up in the air, chase them, roll them around. Now you can always have a rock close to you. One day I will be with you again Gracie. Until that day happens please know that I will be missing you dearly. You were not merely a pet, you were my fur-baby. I love you. Always remember the song Momma made for you "You are a little Gracie Girl, you were the day that I met you".

Jackie Evans

My sweetheart.
Thank you for being such a wonderful companion for those 6 short years.
Love you!

Elizabeth Amini

What can I say about the sweetest girl I have ever known? My sweet, sweet, Grace. You are my heart. I will love you and miss you everyday of my life. Thank you for 11 years of wonderful.

Shari

I love and miss you Gracie, my beautiful Golden Lady, wait for me.

Kileigh

My sweet girl, I loved you very much. I know you are breathing easier where you are. We miss you.

Jennifer MacHado

Gracie girl, we didn't even have five years with you. Daddy misses your nightly walks. Mommy misses you always being the first one to greet her at the door. You fell asleep on Jessi's lap first. Julie sleeps with her stuffed Gracie every night. Scott said "things just aren't the same around here without Gracie). Sunny misses her favorite playmate. We all miss you so much. You will be in our hearts forever. We love you Gracie.

David and Susan Herrick

To my sweet, precious Gracie, there'll always be a space in my heart for you.

Janice Tatter

Gracie was my heart, my soul.

Kate Durket

My life is so empty without my sweet and gentle boy, I look at your photos taken over the precious years we had together and see your kind brown eyes looking at back at me and it breaks my heart. I will love and miss you forever, sweet dreams Graddy xxxx

Vicky

Will see you at rainbow bridge

Bert Appell

Fitti, foste uma gata como não há muitas, é pena teres partido tão cedo. Beijos destes donos que te adoram e ficarás sempre nos nossos corações.

Marisa

Grammy, We knew you were sick, but didn't know the time was so short. We are glad Uncle Donnie was with you at the end...your Daddy was too sad to be with you.

We will miss you and your eagerness to play and be happy. Now you and your cousin Harley can be together again. Make sure she is doing a good job on the air conditioning system there!

We'll have "cookies" when we meet you at the Rainbow Bridge. Your Daddy misses you so much. Love and Miss You, Aunt Jan, Uncle Donnie and Daddy

Grayson was a very special cat. God was ready for him to come home and be with him. Today, Grayson was put to sleep. He was suffering and was in a lot of pain. He will be greatly missed. I just hope that you guys will pray for my family and I b/c we are really struggling with this. We feel so guilty but it was the best thing for Grayson. May the Lord be with him and keep him close to him.

Summer

Good-bye my sweet baby-boy. I have to believe that it's better for you now. You have left a hole in my heart that will be forever filled with memories of you. I hope to see you again some day. Until then, know that I love you so much and will miss you deeply.

Claudia

Grayson was our "special need" kitty.
She was near death when we found her, but lived a very special life with my husband and me.
She brought us so much joy.
Her adopted family of 12 cats and two dogs surely miss her.

Elizabeth Young

A fire destroyed the Grayson County Animal Shelter in Leichfield, KY on 03/19/04. 10 adult dogs, 16 puppies and 22 cats and kittens perished in the fire. Everything was destroyed and the shelter must be re-built. Please keep all these little souls in your prayers as well as the staff and volunteers who are devastated. Gandolf was a German Shepherd mix that had been there a year. A family in Maine saw him on Petfinder.com and adopted him. He was neutered the week before the fire and was waiting to go to his forever home. His transport was scheduled for 03/20/04...the day after the fire. Gandolf, instead, went to his heavenly home.

Linda Martis

Our buddy

Bill & Dee Nichols

Chiwa, you were a special addition to our family and your untimely death is a great loss. We miss your morning greeting and beautiful softness. Enjoy bunny heaven.

Tracy Fields

The love of my life.....

Candy Lasher

My sweet Greta..we will forever miss your spunky spirit. We promise to take good care of your mate, Molson. I am so sorry that I wasn't home to say goodbye to you. I hope that you know that. I am so proud of Molson for staying with you as your spirit left your body.. I will always miss you, my sweet Greta.

Christine Teixeira

Gretal, you will always be with me. You helped me through all my tough times and never left my side. Shasta keeps looking for you. I love you. Your Human Mommy Tracy

Gretchen was the most perceptive and sensitive dog I have ever known. When my husband left, she sat with me and kissed my tears away. When a new Golden Retriever puppy entered our household, she would look very worried when she cried. When I was upset, she always understood and made me feel better with her kindly eyes. She loved with her whole being and I felt blessed to have shared fourteen years with her.

Susie Adney

In memory of our loving dog Gretchen. Gretchen had a big heart and was loved by everyone. As we held her little paw and she slipped away to Rainbow Bridge we know she is in a better. Our broken hearts will mend and some day we'll meet again. Chuck and Anita Frazier

You were the most important part of my life and I'll love you forever.

Donna

Our beloved Gretel, you'll remain in our hearts forever~~

Michele & Denis Pomroy

Our Dearest Gretta: I am so sorry to have to let you go. It was your time though. No longer are you in pain. You can run and play with Herschel. So go, my littlest Doo-doos and be free. For one day we will all be there too, over the rainbow.......

All of our Love, The Edlunds

We love you and miss you Grey. We know your waiting for us to see you again someday.

Shonna

I love you and miss you so much Grey Squirrel. No kitty will ever compare to you. Thank you so much for all of your love and affection for nineteen and a half years (which I treasured every moment!) and for being there for me when no one else was. You are by best friend for life! May you rest in painless peace. Until we meet again.......

Carol Hively

To a loyal and loving companion and family member. Goodnight sweetheart.

Julie McGreal

Grif, part of our lives since you came to us, always so good, your puppy years went by so fast, but you grew into a gracious, grandfatherly fellow, always ready to play tug of dog, grif, you will always be our winner dog...I miss you good boy!!

Irene Smith

Go get 'em Grin. We love you with all of our heart

Stephen

You were a wonderful friend and fishing partner. We loved you very much and will miss you but you are in a better place now. Panzer sends his love.

Ken and Cathy Forrest

Grizz fought a brave fight with cancer. His story is one of great courage and the will to live. We followed every avenue trying to beat this awful thing while still preserving his quality of life and he stood every challenge. We were with him every step and in the face of such adversity, he was always there wagging his tail and yodeling "I love you" to us. He is and always will be our little 3 legged hero. We will always be proud of you Grizz and we will always cherish your life and your love. You taught us the true meaning of unconditional love. We kept our promise to you when it became too much. Remember sweetheart, you and God had the final victory, not the cancer. Wait for us at Rainbow Bridge. God Bless you and keep you safe. Say HI to Mom for us. She will watch over you until we can be together again. With all our love. Mommy, Daddy and Sarge

We love you Grizzley now you can run and play again with angel and genni I hope they were waiting for you this morning, I know they will be there for you waiting for us and our turn at the Rainbow Bridge. Love always mommy and daddy

I will never forget you griz I Love You

Bob Francois Sr

I will always love you my sweet little boy & will never forget you.

Raina

To our Groucho, You were with us 15 years. We had so much fun with you.
Still miss your grumpy meows that made us fall in love with you at the pet store. We miss and love you.

The Rose Family

Grover was my best friend, my life-saver. There was never a more sparkly-eyed, food-begging, beautifully grungy dog. And there never will be again. I love you, Grover.

Darcy Lazar

I've had this cat since I was four. I don't have any memories before he was in my life. I'm crushed at the thought of losing him.

Angela Teater

To my beloved Grumett. Though you are no longer here by my side, you will live in my heart forever. I was blessed to have had your unconditional love all these years. Thank you my dear baby for your gift. No matter the time passing, I will miss you each and every day. I love you Grumett, Mom

We loved our Grumpy very much, he was a big, beautiful boy. He will be sadly missed. He did not die of an illness a man shot him, I pray that Grumpy gets justice.

Robert & Lisa Burgess

I'M STILL HERE
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep,
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
It's me, I haven't left you. I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more
I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said It's me.
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday
To say to you with certainty, I never went away.
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew....
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over...I smile and watch you yawning
and say Goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand side by side
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me.

Guinness was the light of my life, a truly special animal with whom I had the most amazing and fulfilling connection. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. I thank God that I had the pleasure and privilege of being his mom. I will always love you, Guinness!!!

We love and miss you every day. You were such a sweet boy. Now there is another angel in dog heaven.

Loretta Vegas

You came to us looking like the oddest little seal that ever barked, and you left us as a dignified majesty who provided us with unconditional love. We were blessed to have you in our family. May your future take place in a pillowed palace where the walls are lined with peppermints. We love you, and your spirit will live on in us forever.

My beautiful Gummi LaRoux - whom I loved for eight wonderful years. Never has there been a more special being that has come into my life. I will love you and treasure you forever. You are missed terribly.
Love,
Mom

Gunnar, we miss rubbing that soft whispy fur on your ears. I am lonely without you spending the day at work with me. You were a very sweet, beautiful dog.
All the people who were fortunate enough to know you, miss you.
We love you.

Kim and Al Strickland

Gunner was my canine soulmate. He was always with me. I love him so much and felt his love for me and all the world. He died so suddenly and tragically when he layed himself down behind the wheel of a truck that came to tow away a junk car I was getting rid of. No one saw him there. Everyone loved Gunner and he loved everyone. Knowing he is waiting in the Rainbow Bridge helps me go on but the grief is overwhelming. I am so thankful that he shared his life with me.

Robert Meder

It is with great displeasure that I have to announce that Ms. Gunny went to the Rainbow Bridge today. She went to the vet yesterday for some xrays which showed that she was in such pain. Gunny came to KPR just a short week ago but gained the hearts of everyone she saw. Gunny was 13 years old and had very bad arthritis that had her in alot of pain. The vet said that she would have no quality of life even with meds. Gunny was the first rescue that KPR ever had to send off to the rainbow bridge. We will miss you so much Gunny!!! Your Rescue dad will remember you forever!!! You have touched my heart in so many ways....I'm just so glad I could help you to the Bridge by holding you in my arms till you took your very last breath. I could have kept you here but I could not see you suffer another day. It just proves that god only takes the very best! My little Valentine May you find all the little puggy friends on the other side and run like you have never run before! Gunny...Thank you so much for showing me love in my life and may the Rainbow Bridge take care of you for eternity! I love you my little Valentine! Your sister Corp will miss you too but I promise you I will see she has the very best till she joins you in a place you can both run and be together again!

Love always your Foster Dad Matt and all your Puggy Friends over here! Peace my girl! Much love!

Gussy was our precious "no ka oi" boy. He will forever be missed.

Best Friend and Companion - Thank you for 11 wonderful years as they were the best times in my life. I will always love you and you are always with me.

Hsu-Lien Rivera

Dear Gus, you were truly a wonderful friend, companion and understood our every mood. We will miss your great disposition and welcoming bark. Everyone who met you loved you and all of us will miss you greatly. You have been a part of this family and you will always hold a special place in our hearts. We feel you around us and know that you wouldn't want us to walk around the house crying but rather take joy in the many wonderful years we had together, the laughter you brought into our lives and those of our friends and family. You will truly be missed, our dear friend Gus.

Lyn & Joe

The kindest, sweetest, most loving dog I could ever have had the privilege to love and take care of. Gussie, you have more than earned your wings. I dream about the day I will see you in Heaven. I love you so much my sweet little boy! You will be missed more than you will ever know.

Mary Beth & Joe Cobbs

In loving memory of our most beloved pet- Gus you are and always will be a person to us. We still love you and miss you every day. Rest in peace till we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Laura and Phil Davis

Not a day will go by that I won't miss and long for you to be in my lap again purring.
Enjoy the sun and sweet grass at the Bridge....
I'll be with you again one day.
Love Mom and Dad....

You brought us laughter, comfort and happiness for 17 years.
We can only hope we did the same for you, Gwen.
We miss you deeply and hope you met up with Brutus and Woobie and are having a great time playing with them again with the energy and spirit you always had.
We love you!

Danny and Sherry Thompson

You were one of my greatest gift from God, my friend, bed warmer, and fellow couch potato. You have rightfully earned your place in heaven , teaching me unconditional love. You are missed.

Deborah Harrington

My beloved girl passed on to the other side that night. She had lung cancer that caused her body to give up. Now she can run through the fields and chase down the birds again. She joins the other members of the family that have passed on, so she has a family waiting fir her there to. We love you Gyp.

Linsey

I miss you Gypsy

Nicole

Thank you for all of your love. You were gone so suddenly and tragically I never had a chance to say goodbye. I wish you could know how much I will always love you.
Love, Mimi

We lost our beloved Gypsy due to a vet we thought we trusted botching her spay and over sedating her. We will never know what truely happened to her there. We only know what they tell us. She was a very loving furbaby and I rescued her at 8 weeks old from a puppy mill in NC while my husband was serving with the Marines in Iraq. We will miss her sweet looks and tilt of the head she gave when you talked to her. I hope that she is happy and waiting for me now. She was truely an angel to me. Gypsy we love you girl. Wait for me and I will be by your side again someday.

Jennifer Smith

She was a perfect pet. She only loved and never harmed. She's with God, without pain. Her spirit will always be with us. May we wake up in the morning, see the daylight, appreciate our lives, and remember hers.
