Year 2005 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "P".

MY PEACHES

We found you when you were three years old
all scruffy and scared
And they said your name was "Peaches"
So frightened and small
You were such a doll
We decided we liked your name, Peaches.

We brought you
home, where it was all new
I remember I fed you some stew
You gobbled it up -- three days since you'd eaten
Then back up it came, my Dear Peaches!

Tucked in my coat, shivering and shaking
We brought you for a ride that first day.
"Snug as a bug in a rug" you were,
Upon my shoulder your head lay.
I decided I liked my little Peaches.

You slept next to me for a long while each night
Curled up in a ball,
My goodness you were so small!
It was a tight squeeze, for there were
three of us in all.
But that was all right, my baby Peaches.

Each day after work I'd rush home
Together we'd explore all the trails
And tucked in my pink hat...
Can you imagine that?!
Both you and dad would be waiting.
You were my pretty girl named Peaches.

Next came the big move...a house of our own!
A yard for you to play in!
You sure found your "voice"
Announced each person's passing,
My proud little girl named Peaches.

Each summer we'd walk
Around Boulevard Lake Park
Sometimes the Marina Park too.
Where the birds were a plenty
My, how you were ready...as if to say,
"Hurry up, Mom!"
"Yes, I'm coming", my Dear Peaches!

You loved your ice cream
Shhh...it was our special treat!
The chocolate your favourite,
But mine was always the Peaches.

And now that's all gone
Though your memory lives on
My sunshine,
My delight,
My Peaches.

....Mom

My Casso, We all miss you so very much. You gave us almost 15 years of true love. You were one special big guy and our Angel Kitty. Your last three days were very long and sad but Mommy's so grateful that she was there with you helping you along. I hope I did everything right for you. I miss my kitty kisses and hugs so much. Picasso, your spirit will be in our hearts forever. You are My Sunshine-My Only Sunshine.  
Till we meet again.....Mommy, Daddy, Larry, and Mike.

I remember the day I picked you out and brought you home. Your original name was to be buttons but papa and grandma had a hand in changing it. They figured that since you had pink ears, nose and paws your name had to be Pinky and it stuck. You use to drive papa crazy running up and down his leg when you were a kitten. He always said you thought he was the 401. I still remember when you went missing before we moved. We looked everywhere and couldn't find you. Then to my relief the neighbor found you up her tree. When we moved you became the queen of the street and lived up to your name. Every cat that came on our property quickly left with you hot on there tails. It always sounded like it was a vicious fight, you were so vocal. So much so I often could hear you over the TV lol. We have been through so much together in your 23 years of life. People were amazed at how long you lived and always asked us what we fed you. Little did they know we were spoiled with liver, beef and real cream but you were never a heavy cat. I thought I'd lost my bestfriend when you went missing a second time after papa accidentally ran you over, baby why did you run under the car when he was backing up? You had been missing for three days before I ever knew what happened. They just couldn't tell me. They knew I would be very upset. Like the time I picked you up from the vets and they handed me the wrong cat and I very emotionally said "That's not my pinky!". Boy was I relieved when they came back and handed you to me. Years ago the vets told me that the chances of you actually passing away of old age were small. That most likely you would get sick and we would have to put you to sleep. I was so mad and didn't want to believe it. Sadly my fear came true. Your teeth were so bad. So many antibiotic's. The vets didn't want to operate due to your age but we ended up saying do it. At least if she doesn't make it we tried. I was sooooo happy when they informed me that you indeed made it through the surgery. When I walked in the door and saw you sleeping on the couch where you always were I fell to my knee's and cried with my head next to yours and you purred. I had my baby home. Imagine my dismay when again you went missing when papa didn't tell me he let you outside before he went to work. I thought to myself when I couldn't find you, did you go off to die, would I ever find you. Thankfully one of the teachers saw you walking around and took you to the vets not knowing about your surgery. Your puffy face and bloody nose was enough to scare anybody. I was so relieved when they recognized you and called us. We have been through alot baby Katy's death and Frisky's too. Not to mention both grandma's. I still wonder from time to time if I made the right choice in ending your pain. The vets assured me that the time was right. Your mouth was black on the inside and you had to be in pain. Mommy just couldn't handle the thought of you dying alone during one of our many camping trip's. Not to mention the thought of you walking around the house crying for me cause you can't find me like you did so many time's before. Your cry was so loud, sounded like you were dying but I know that's because you couldn't hear. You will be happy to know that I have not gotten another cat since you left. It's still just me and Dozen. There is a new addition thought I have a new pup his name is Cody. Please make sure Katy knows that he in no way takes her place. In fact we constantly compare the two of them. Eventually I will get another cat but baby I want you to know. That no matter what you will always be mommy's baby girl. I wanted to hold you so bad when they gave you the final needle but they don't allow that. I hope you could feel me stroking your paw. Your passing was so different compared to Frisky's. When they gave you the first needle to relax you it scared the hell out of me. You started to curl up into a ball right in my arms. It's almost as if you died right then. I was strong in the room I didn't cry. When I am sick or lonely I always find myself thinking of you. In may of this year 2007 it will be two years since you left and to be honest it still hurts. So many time's I wanted to go to the vets and say okay joke's over give my baby back. But I know that can never happen. Say hello to Frisky, Katy, Charlie, Patches, Tigger and Peppy for me. They are all missed. You may have always thought that papa didn't love you. But rest peacefully baby he did, very much. I must go now baby you are forever in my thoughts.

Love Mommy

Princess was the kind of dog who you could trust to be left alone, we had her with us for 15 years and miss her very much. To us she may have been a dog but she was not an animal.

Jim and Denise Dubay

Cruiser was the most loyal protective and loving dog there ever was. He was one of a Kind! He started his show career at 9 months old. However it was cut short due to hip displasia. Cruiser was diagnosed with cancer one year ago, he had surgery and lasted 6 months longer than anyone thought. He was a fighter. My Cruiser will be missed for every day the rest of my Life.

You will always be my babylamb. Our bond was so very special & unique. I always knew what you wanted & needed just by the look on your angel face or by the way you whinned. You taught me so much about total devotion & unconditional love. My heart will always be broken as no other will ever be able to fill that void. I will always love you more than anything else.

I open my eyes in the morning and see you everywhere. your are gammy's best friend and I'm lost without you. I think of all the kisses you loved, the way I would just go get the mail and you would be so excited to see me as if I had been gone along time. Puppy you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. I just can't express the love and the feeling of loss I feel for you, I am just plain HEARTBROKEN. Then a friend gave me this site to look at and crying all the way through reading THE RAINBOW BRIDGE, I hope that I'm in your mind because I am consumed with thoughts of you but I see that one day you will stop and spot me with your little body quivering and our eyes will meet and Puppy I'll be running just as fast as you to hold you again.

Your always in my thoughts and you have my whole heart. pup,pup, I love you so much and miss you more than anything else. goodnight my sweet boy. Remember your always with me. LOVE AND KISSES, GAMMY
