Year 2006 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "G".

Gateygirl, We miss you so much and you only left us yesterday. It will take some time before we can sleep without you between us, but knowing you are healthy and waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge keeps us going. Be good and we WILL never forget you and can't wait till the day we met again. You are the Best Friend we EVER had. Thanks for being there for us.

Kevin & Carol Davis

My friend, my partner, my life for so long, faithful and true all your life I miss you so much but you are out of pain now. God Bless you my precious friend.

Gilmour Kitty, You are our little angel. Our days are lonely without you but we know you gave it your very best fight to stay with mommy and daddy. Your love sustained us (especially me) for 14 years. I will miss our "LOVE KITTY" cuddles. We will miss all the words you knew-who says one cannot teach a cat -- you knew over 40 meanings of words--except the word NO was never one we bothered to teach you. You did not need to be told no; you were purrfect.

Daddy shaved without you this morning and it was so hard for him. He can only remember shaving maybe ten times alone in 14 years. Boy, we will have a hard time without you.

We know you are at peace now and not sick and mommy won't be giving you all those awful medicines--especially all the chemo.

So for now our darling Gillmour Kitty farewell we would have done anything to keep you alive but you decided "Mommy I'm done. No more meds, no more messing with me, let me go on to kitty cat heaven and I'll see you again when you and daddy cross the Rainbow Bridge to meet me. I'll say com'moan and you and dad will be with me again.

We know you loved us so, Gilmour, and everyone here on earth misses you. We have gotten so many condolences.

Always our love, always our heart, and always you are a "GOOD BOY'!!!!

OUR LOVE FOREVER--MOMMY AND DADDY 07/18/06 - ONE WHOLE DAY WITHOUT YOUR LOVELY FACE TO KISS AFTER 14 YEARS OF PURE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FROM YOU TO US. THANK YOU, GILMOUR. WE LOVE YOU.

Gilmour, we will love you forever. Daddy & Mommy / Leonard and Dianne Bagwell

This is the second hardest tragedy I have ever had to endure. The first being my mother’s passing when I was young and now Ginger’s passing mid-way through my life. Both of their passings have been sudden without the chance to prepare myself, but I do not think you are ever truly prepared. As I prepared this eulogy for Ginger, I couldn’t help think how this little dog has touched everybody’s heart by her infectious personality. She has made me smile with her crazy and sassy way and at the same time had me loving her more and more each day. She won the hearts of friends and strangers alike. She always thought company came to see her for she loved being around people. For being around people meant someone new to bring her toys to for a little game called tug of war. She knew all her toys by name – Mr. Bear, Mr. Fluffy, Mr. Shortbread Man, Mr. Lamb, Mr. Ghost, and Mr. Beaver just to name a few of her favorites. She also liked following company to the bathroom and caused several to have stage fright. She was best at working you for a treat for she loved to eat. I would often say Jessie and I ate to live, but Ginger lived to eat. She didn’t want to do anything unless food was involved.

Ginger was the smartest and most curious dog I have ever seen. She didn’t forget anything or anybody. You would swear she had a biological clock to know exactly when it was treat time or dinner. I would always say to her “Do you know what time it is?” and she would give me that look and run for the kitchen. Ginger was sassy and talked back every chance she got. Those that weren’t familiar with her thought she was growling but others knew that familiar sound of RERR, RERR, RERR was just Ginger talking.

Besides eating she loved going for a ride, taking a walk and a nappie with her Mommy and Jessie. She loved to wag her tail on Bayshore to get passerby’s attention to pet her. She also thrived on lunging at non-suspecting rollerbladers whom were struggling to stay up and cause them to almost fall. I would always say, “GinGin that wasn’t nice. She was a little devil with a big heart. The times we shared together will not be the same without her.

No more will there be a crazy girl running around, no more familiar sound of RERR, RERR, RERR, no more squeaking of Mr. Lamb, Mr. Ghost or whoever was the toy of the day, only silence. As this silence seems more deafening each day, I realize just how much I miss my second shadow. She followed me everywhere – yes even to the bathroom. Some of you may be asking, “Didn’t that drive you crazy?” The answer is absolutely not. She filled the room with joy and unconditional love. I truly felt she was always looking at me with those big brown puppy dog eyes and saying, “Mommy I Love You!” I in turn would kiss and tell her how much I loved her and how did I get so lucky to have the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world. I have been blessed to have had such a great companion in my life. I will miss her more than anyone can comprehend and I look forward to one day seeing her again. She will forever be my first baby, loyal companion, and my best friend. She will forever be in my heart and I will be lost without her. Look over your sister and me as you run around in Doggie Heaven! I Love You Ginger Ann and I Miss You So Very Much!!

Hugs and Kisses With Love, Your Mommy (Sherry Parsons)

Ginger Bear, Thank you for being a best friend, for your constant tail wagging and love and devotion.  
I am so sorry you were sick.  
I know you couldn't help yourself when you would snap and attack your furry dog sisters.  
It always made you shake afterwards and you were so incredibly sweet.  
I know you couldn't control this behavior and you are now without these spells.  
I can't wait to see you again and feel your kisses and pet your soft golden fur.  
You were a best friend to me and a constant companion for 8 wonderful years.  
I love and miss you.  
You will forever live in my heart.

Dayle Alton and Family

My dearest sweet baby boy, mommy and daddy miss you with all our hearts and love you more than anything.  
We hope that your spirit will stay with us forever.

"My Little Man". . .The time came suddenly when you left us. We had to know that we did everything possible, and knew that we couldn't be selfish to keep you here. We know that you're at rest and thankful for our time together. We'll all miss your "tail-wagger", your daily smile, and unconditional love. Mommy will miss you through the day, and I'll miss you greeting me at the door every night. Sissy's will feel the void without your comfort and smile, and Ebony and Daisy will long for your company and gentle ways. Even with your size, you were always a "Gentle Giant." Look for Snowy and cousin Bunker and enjoy your time with them. We will all see you again, so wait for us and we'll cross the bridge together. You will always be loved, never replaced, and always remembered. Goliath. . .We will always love you and your void will always remain in our hearts.

Sadly missed and forever loved: Mommy, Daddy, Laura, Jenny, Ebony, and Daisy

Grizzy, You were the best! You were so smart, sweet, and cuddly. I could not have asked for a better pet. I cherished the 7 years I had with you. I will never forget you. I am so sorry for the pain that you went through the last month of your life. I am so glad that I got to be with you in your final moments. Tony, Chloe, and I will love you forever.

Guinness -- wonderful gray and white boy, starving and near death when you somehow found our office and head-butted your way into our hearts nearly sixteen years ago.
What a beautiful, loving, purring boy you grew into, and what a special privilege it's been to share the years with you.
Rest now with Fen, Garfy, Eeyore, Sebastian and Bo, special one.
Bailey, Moses, Tyler, Magoo, Oscar Wilde-Cat, Lyle, and all the people who've loved you.
