Year 2005 Tributes For pet names beginning with "B".

Baby...what a girl, you were there when all the other animals came to us...help them through their transitions with us, you saw so many...you were always happy, always willing to lend an ear to wipe up tears...we will miss you so very much....

Bill, Sue, Billy and Cody Reynolds

You were my first love, my glorious girl, constant companion, and light of my life.  
With tactical precision you managed to annihilate an army of my closest troll friends, but; still my love for you did not waiver.  
How could anyone look into those dreamy eyes and ever feel anything but warmth filling them up.  
Your love was the purest form of goodness I will ever know.  
From birth to death you took the world by storm.  
You lived life to its fullest as a fierce competitor, leader, follower, but most of all friend.  
I know the void I feel in my heart for you will never be mended, for; when you left this world you took a piece of my soul with you.  
I suppose that is only fair for I took piece of yours that I will cherish forever.  
I will not say goodbye just thank you, thank you for teaching me it is possible to love so much.

Our beloved Bailey passed away on August 23, 2005.

He had just turned 5 years old on July 25th, but had succumbed to a cancer called hemangiosarcoma.

This is virtually unheard of in basset hounds but for some reason our Bailey was struck down with it.

We loved him from the first moment we saw him and cannot put into words how much we miss him.

We only noticed in July that there could be something wrong with him - never in a hundred years thinking it would be something that would take him from us at such an early age and at such a rapid pace.

He had so many endearing qualities and he always knew when it was time to eat or his snack time and if we were busy he would surely remind us!

I miss the times when we walked together in the morning.  
I would meet my husband half way and hand him off and we would meet again on the way home.  
My husband would let Bailey off of his leash and he would run to me, tail wagging and roll over and give me sloppy kisses when we met.

I miss the times when we had family gatherings and if I was paying too much attention to my grandchildren Bailey would always come over and nudge me to let me know he was there too.  
I would always pet him and tell him he was still the best boy and my baby.

I miss the times when we would be watching television and Bailey would go back and forth between my husband and myself to have his back massaged, scratched and rubbed.

I miss the times when I would get out of the shower in the morning and he would be there waiting for me and when I went to bed at night he was on the bed before I could lie down.

I miss the times when I drove into the driveway and Bailey was sitting in the window waiting for me.

I miss everything about him.

He went everywhere with us - church, work, weddings, Wendy's and even funerals.

We hope he is at Rainbow Ridge with Corey, Clancy and C.J. and that he is running and barking and not suffering any more and that some day we will meet again.

We miss you Bailey and hope that you know that we tried everything to make you well again but God had other plans for you.

Love, Mom and Dad

Bailey was our baby girl.  
She was our joy. She was a tiny, delicate sheltie but was a real watch dog. But unfortunately she also liked to chase things.  
She was always tied, but on Friday evening the metal clasp we hooked onto her collar broke and she was struck by a car right at the end of our driveway.  
She was killed instantly.  
The shock of this horrible death is haunting us.  
Although she had some health problems, we thought we would have her for a long while yet.  
She loved us all, but her Daddy was her #1.  
She would follow him everywhere he went in the house, lay on her back and flirt with him to get his attention when it was walk time, lay outside the bathroom door waiting for him to come out and play with her.  
Her mommy and sister were just not able to throw the ball or her favorite stuffed toy "frogger" the way Daddy could.  
WE loved her beyond reason.  
Our loss is unbearable and we are just waiting to get her remains back so that she can be back home safe with us.

But we know that she is in heaven with my own mother who just passed 4 months ago.  
As my 6 year old niece said "I guess Bailey is Nanny's pet now".  
We don't understand why this happened.  
I keep telling myself that God just needed her more than we do.  
But it is really hard to accept that in our hearts.  
I know that we will get through this but it is breaking our hearts.  
I'm trying to remember all the good, and funny times but I can just picture her laying out on the road.  
Fortunately she had very little damage on the outside so we were able to hold her and kiss her.  
But the shock is unbelievable.  
We will love you forever Bailey, and we know that we will see you again.  
We hope that you are in Heaven chasing all the sheep you want.

We love you so much my sweet.  
Daddy, mommy and Alicia will be thinking of you everyday and hoping to see you in our dreams.  
You meant the world to us, and you helped us through some trying times of our own.  
Till we meet again my Bailey.  
We love you,  

Mommy, Daddy and Alicia

Thank you Bal boy for allowing us the pleasure of your company for more than 11 years. We miss you so much. The house is not the same without you. You were our beloved dog but much more. You were your daddy's best friend and he misses you. There is an empty spot in our hearts. Your sister Abby keeps looking for you also. Until we meet again, we love you and grandma and grandad will care for you.

Dear B.J.  
Well my little old pug it was time to let you go.  
you had grown old and gray and could hardly get around anymore.  
My dear little Pug you were the last of the 3 Amigo's that we kept out of your mama Laci's litter and now you have joined her.  
I loved all of you guys so much and now we all miss you.  
I would look at your little brown eyes and I know they were filled with pain but you seemed to want to smile and play with the other dogs that I couldn't hardly decide on what to do. You were approaching 14 years and I thought what am I doing.  
I just did not want to let go.  
So many things went wrong with you that last week that couldn't be fixed without a lot of pain for you.  
I decided the good Lord wouldn't want me to let you suffer so I said my good-byes to you.  
I held you in my arms and kissed you until your soul went home with God.  
Good-bye my son, enjoy you mates and mama and I will see you again....I love you so much B.J.

Mom

BJ, my sweet Sugarbear... your time here on earth ended only a short while ago but it already seems like an eternity to me... I look forward to the day when I can once again see your little rear end wiggle when you walk, hear your little tiger-like growl and see your sweet, silly face. I long for the day when I can kiss you between those precious brown eyebrows that God so carefully painted on your beautiful face. Towards the end of your life you were such a brave little boy. I will always admire the courageous and prideful way in which you overcame every obstacle... oh how tired you must have been. My sweet boy, you will always hold a special place in my heart and I will never forget you or your passion for life, your love of balloons or how you loved a good meal. You were a wonderful companion for over 16 years and I look forward to the day when we are reunited. I know you are in Heaven... running, playing, eating with gusto and having fun doing all the things you weren't able to do towards the end of your life.

Love Always, Mama

So long, old pal.  
I had you for 12 years, but it wasn't nearly long enough.  
You were a trooper and didn't tell me you were ill, but it soon became obvious.  
I wish heroic measures would have made a difference, but I couldn't put you through it.  
I wish I hadn't been 400 miles away when it was your time to go.

I'll miss your crooked little fuzzy face.

There will never be another Blinky.  
Thanks, old pal, for being my little buddy.

Scott Campbell

Bllue, (Beans) The things you did with us was so special and unbelievable, going for rides in the truck between us looking out the window as if you were human, going camping, flying.  
you changed our lives forever, it's wonderful how a little furry guy like you touched our hearts as you did, we love you, Mommy & Pappy

To my very loyal friend, I will miss your sleeping next to my heart.  
I will see you again in heaven.  
Rest well until then.  
You have enhanced my life and I am so happy to have known you.

Cora Snyder

Dear Bo,  
Since you passed away, I know that you are no longer in any pain.  
This may sound selfish, but I miss you terribly and I wish you were still with me.  
I feel like part of me is missing.  
You were my best friend.  
I would give anything if I could still look into your big brown eyes and tell you how much you meant to me.  
You filled my life with love and wonderful memories that I will never forget.  
I only hope you know how much you meant to me and how much joy you brought to my life.  
I will carry you within my heart forever.

I love you Bo!!!!

Brenda Miller

Bo -- the cruel person who dumped you, sick and starving, in a basket at a street fair in Durham NC in 1992 couldn't have known the joy you've brought to so many in your 13 years.
Rest now with Fen and H.Kat and Eeyore, my soft baby, the pain and sickness done and eased on your way by those who've loved you so much.
Bailey, Moses, Guinness, Tyler, Magoo, Oscar -- and Heather who rescued you and brought you to me.

Our Beautiful Girl.

We miss miss you so much.

We miss your love, your intelligence, your beauty, your little voice talking to us, your chirps and complaints, your playing, and your beautiful wing displays.

 O, what a beautiful girl!

 Look at her pretty feathers!

 Look at my beautiful girl!

 Love,

Claude and Juliet, your dad and mom

Precious Bobby Boy,  
Mom and Dad are so sad.  
We miss you so much even though we just said good-bye to you earlier today.  
Baby we will always love and always miss you.  
Just like today I will tell you again you have impacted our lives such that we will never be the same.  
We will never forget you rolling over on command, yacking at us continually, waiting so patiently for your treat and your cheese every day.  
Tonight will be hard crawling into that bed with you not being curled up next to us sleeping.  
We love you precious baby.  
Give your big brother Smokey and huge hug for us and you behave yourself and be nice to him, Mommy and Daddy don't want to have to think about you having to go to time out for being ugly.  
You be a sweet boy.  
You and Smokey look for us sweet baby.  
We will join you boys sometime real soon.  
Until then, ya'll be sweet.  
Mommy send your hugs and kisses and Daddy sends you scratches!  
Daddy already misses your sucking his arms.  
Oh Bobby we love you so much!  
Smokey we love you too our sweet precious fur babies!  
We think about you all the time!

Hugs, Mom and Dad.

BoBo, you made us so happy and we miss you so much everyday. I know you aren't here physically, but you will always be here in our hearts. We will always love you. WE MISS YOU BOBO!

Love, mommy and daddy

To the kitty who has created a huge hole in all of our hearts.  
We are sorry we let you down. We cannot bear the thought of not seeing your sweet face, the sweetest face, full of love and happiness in your eyes. I am so angry at your loss - at myself - that we didn't behave more proactively in finding out information on your heart murmur.  
I die inside each time I think back to what you went through on your final day here. I wish so much that I could have diagnosed you earlier with heart disease = so that we could have treated you and extended your life.  
You had so much love and happiness to give and loved receiving it.  
Karen will miss your morning shower ritual - sleeping with you each night - and your looking up at her while sleeping on her lap.  
You always will hold a special place in our hearts - a place that was yours the minute I saw your face.  
I knew you were destined to be a part of my family.  
You, who appeared to be the healthiest of all five kittes = turns out to be the sickest.  
Yet, you never showed a sign.  
I deeply, deeply, utterly regret not questioning the doctor more and finding out more information on your murmur and what turns out to be your cardio myopathy.  
Your time on this earth was too short = and it's not fair.  
Your passing is so unbearable that I don't want to continue on myself.  
You were my child, and a part of my foundation, which has been rocked beyond anything I could have imagined by the sudden onset, the lack of warning, and your tender age.  
I despise myself for not taking measures to treat you, since you were so sick and just never showed a sign.  
We miss you terribly, and cannot wait to see you on the other side of the bridge.

Darlene, Karen, Helmet, Jax, Crockett, Skeet, Kita

Even though I was only a little over 2 years old my family was very special to me. They would take me for walks and play with me all the time. I know I wasn't aloud on the couch, but I would always sneak up there and my family would pretend they didn't see me. the day I passed away, the one I knew as my dad held my head and stayed with me, and I looked at him and my eyes said sorry I have to go now. I know they miss me very much as I am buried in the back yard and they come back and talk to me all the time. I am so sorry that I had such a short life with some a warm and caring family. I miss you guys too.

Love,

Brandy

Brandy Butsky you were the very best. So loving, so gentle, so patient and so courageous. I know that you are running free at the bridge with Elsa your big sister. The two of you can share all the chocolate chip cookies and bonios. All of us miss you terribly but we know and I know you do to that some day we will all be together again. Run free Butsky, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Briggs came to our boxer rescue organization through the Humane Society of Berks County, PA in July of 2003.
He was an allergic mess!
His ears were scarred down from constant infection and he couldn't stop itching. He was adopted out to a family who ultimately couldn't properly care for him and then returned in November 2003, at which point we kept him.
Allergy tests revealed the source of the hell he'd spent 8 years dealing with... allergies to pretty much every grass, tree and weed in our area, in addition to mold, flea dirt, dust mites and probably common food ingredients.
Good thing I work for a veterinarian!!!!

Best friend to Abbey the Labby, they always made play fight noise while we tried to talk on the phone.
He was our snuggle muffin, who loved to lay on our laps and give big boxer kisses.
We never expected the first foster dog to be the perfect fit to our family, but he sure was.

We let Briggs go to the bridge last night, November 9, 2005, after a brave 6 1/2 week fight with lymphoma.
Now he's free to play all day and eat anything he wants, not just hypoallergenic food.
No more allergy shots, antihistimines or ear cleanings!!
We'll miss his snuggles, his wagging "nub", which made his whole body shake, his love of everyone he met.
We'll even miss his snoring and his unbelieveable ability to take up the whole bed and all the blankets!
Maybe at the bridge, Briggs will finally be able to climb the tree and get the squirrel!
He'll be warm all the time, too!

We miss you bunches, Little Man.
You brought so much love and laughter into our home and we are honored to have shared your life with you, even for just the two years we knew you.
We know you're in a better place now, but we'll miss you tremendously.
Rest in peace and know that we will see each other again someday.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

Bruno-my "Nanies"-my son, where do I begin? There is no greater Love...than the love I had, still have , and always will have for him!  
The GREATEST day of my life was the day he came into it.  
He was my everything for 11 years and will continue to be my everything until I join him on the other side.  
I will NEVER fill the void that was left in my heart and soul.  
I can not & will not EVER forget him and the great, great joy he brought to my life.  
I am grateful beyond comprehension for every moment we spent together.  
Never again in my existence will I be as blessed as I was in thoughs 11 years I spent w/ my "smooshy-goo".  
There is no greater love...kisses for the mom of the dog-I miss you Bruno, I love you Bruno-today and always...always on my mind, always in my heart...

Brandy

Brutus- Our beloved Bru Bru. You were our baby, our best friend, and our heart and soul. Now you are our guardian angel with your brother Sammy and sister Kiki in Heaven. Journey on to Rainbow Bridge and take with you all of our love. We will all be reunited there one day to spend eternity together. May God shine his loving light on your beautiful face. We love and miss you more than anything.

Buddy came into our lives 12 years ago. He showed up on my door step just a little handful of grey fur, he was sick and skinny and in desperate need of care and love, which he found in our home and in our hearts. He snuggled into our lives and into our hearts, where he spent the 12 years of his life being loved and spoiled and I cherish every minute of time spent with him. Today we said goodbye to our little boy, truly one of the hardest moments we have ever known. He was such a joy to us; he gave us so much love and laughter. I will miss you my little one, I will miss the way you would slip your paw into my hand as if holding my hand just before we went to sleep at nights, no other pet ever did that, you were so original! I will miss your purring softly next to me, I will miss all your funny little ways; I will miss having you here to love. I know it is a temporary situation, and I will see you again, but, oh how I will miss you until then.  
For now just know that Mom and Dad love you now and always.

Buddy Buddaweens, mommy and daddy believe that God sent you to us to teach us not only how to love but how to love each other. You can now look down and see the success that your special life brought to us. We also won't say goodbye Puppa. We'll just wait to play our sniffy game again when we find you a few years down the road. We love you Stinkyhead. Mommy, Daddy and Henry

My Dear Buster,

Momma misses you so much, it was the hardest thing I ever did when I held you for the last time and cried while I let you go. I new the day would come when we would be parted, but it doesn't stop the ache in my heart. I want so badly to know you are whole and happy running and playing and happily anticipating our reunion. Baby I am lost without you. My white little fuzzy face Angel. I can't wait to see you again. You loved your stroller with the wind blowing in your face, but you have wings, and that's better. and when I'm out walking with your sister Missy I see you in my mind flying beside me with your new wings, what an adorable angel you are. I Love you with every cell of my body and soul.

Buster Boy-My West Highland Terrier
And my Baby forever.

I pray we all can come to the place where we have more smiles then tears when we remember are precious gifts.

Peace and Love to All,

Joannie L.
