Year 2006 Tributes For pet names beginning with "M".

Such a willing soul that taught me so much.  
Love - patience - understanding - forgiveness and hope.  
I pray that I gave him the best last years of his life - he deserved that and more.  
To my very special friend with more love than I knew I had - forever in my heart - I miss you so very much.

Eileen Dubay

To Mac, my first Corgi-  
You were the gentle giant, always cuddling at our feet, our special morning routine with you knawing at the sheets. You were the only one who knew how to play hide and seek with Colleen. I miss you terribly.  
Part of my heart has been taken and can never be replaced. We will meet again someday my perfect friend. I love you.

Shelly Flicker, Colleen Kelly

MADISON - you own my heart and our bond will never be broken; you will forever be missed, and my life will never be the same without you-- Thank you for teaching me love, hope, happiness, and courage. I have to believe your suffering has ended, and we will meet at the bridge and be together once again...

Mae was a very sweet and loving cat.  
She was a lap cat.  
It was a daily ritual for her to sit on my lap while I was on the couch in the evenings. She would nudge my chin with her cheek.  
Where ever I went at home she was close at hand.  
She enjoyed looking at the window especially watching the birds fly by. She always greeted me at the door when I came home.  
Unfortunately, she died during a dental surgery.  
I love her so much and miss her immensely.

She is gone, but not forgotten. My friend, my pal, my little girl. Maggie will be missed by all who's life that she touched.

Louise Polak

This is Maggie. She was a 9 year old pure breed Pomeranian. She was apricot and white. We were there the moment she was born and we loved her every day since then.
She touched everyone she met, even those who didn't like dogs or animals fell in love with her. She may have only weighted 5lbs but she thought she was biggest of the big dogs.
She was very smart, loyal, gentle and loving and constantly wanted to be in our company.
She could also be stubborn and always knew exactly what she wanted.
She developed an enlarged heart and collapsing trachea which progressed over the last few years. We tried everything we could but in the end she was unable to catch her breath and could not run or play which was not fair to her.
It has been 5 days and 2 hours since we said goodbye to our baby.
She has left a deep void in our lives. We have many pictures and memories to help us through but right now nothing seems to help fill the void. She is so very missed by all who knew her and they feel the void too.
She was loved by two parents, her older sister, Kasie, and her canine sister, Maddie, a 10 year old black lab and many friends.

Beth, Celeste, Kasie and Maddie

Sweet Maggie girl, how very much we love and miss you! Thank you for your generous love and all the laughter and joy you brought. How I miss your gentle kisses and your gaze of love. I miss holding you and pressing my cheek to yours, close enough to mix my eyelashes with yours. You are a beautiful and noble soul. Thank you for gracing our lives. Wait for us, sweet girl. When a gentle breeze seems to caress my hands, I will know it is you. Always remember that I love you, and always remember all that we have meant to each other. You are so loved! Stay near until we can be together again. Know that you and Shelly are ever in my thoughts and in my heart. Run and play and have a joyful time until we hold each other gain. I love you, Mags!

Mommy

Magoo, handsome white kitty with an unknown past, rescued with your buddy Tyler just over 4 years ago.
The time with you was far too short, but with Dr C's help, the years were good ones for you, and you gave back to all, the love you received.
Rest now with Sebastian, Bo, Guinness, and Moses, sweet boy, and with Caesar, Garfy, H.Kat, Eeyore, Custer, Mully and Fen whom you never knew.
Tyler, Oscar Wilde Cat, Bailey, Lyle, and the people who've loved you.

My sweet, sweet, baby boy. My Mason, my best friend. You have given me more in the last 12 short years than anyone could ever receive in a lifetime. It breaks my heart to know that I couldn't do as much for you. I couldn't save my baby dog. You truly brought such joy to all who were lucky enough to know you with your high spirited presence. You were so stong...such a fighter. My heart is full of sadness because I miss you terribly, but yet I feel joy for you. You have no more pain. You are free to run and play again.

I love you with all my being. You are part of my soul. Until I see you again.......Love ya baby dog......Momma

Matthew, you were a wise soul with a gentle heart.  
Your kisses and cuddles always provided the comfort for which you intended them.  
I hope Rainbow Bridge is lots of fun for you, Hope, Betsy Cuddlecakes, and Shaka!...and I hope there's lots of bananas, and a dentist for you!!

Kathleen Bendelier

Our sweet little Mattise.  
Your love, your spirit and your faithfulness will always be remembered in our hearts.  
We miss you so much.  
God bless you sweet girl.  
Until we meet again.

Maude was badly abused as a puppy. I adopted her from a shelter at four years old. She always had health problems which you would never have known since she was so energetic and smart and happy and crabby and pretty and loving. Her little 28 lb body finally gave out. I hope she is happy and well taken care of in her new home. I'm sure her sweet little back legs will work now and she won't have heart or thyroid problem. I will miss and love her forever. She was and is my Maudie.

Jeana Emge

Our Beautiful baby boy, Max.  
When you came into our lives at age 10 months & 150 pounds, everyone thought we were nuts for taking you in.  
Especially since we had 2 other (big) dogs.  
But, we knew you'd fit in.  
You quickly won over everyone's hearts.  
Even the faint of heart saw through your size (250 lbs. in the end) & slobber.  
These last few months, since you were diagnosed with epilepsy were sometimes trying, but never would we think of doing anything other than to help you adjust to your disease.  
Today, you lost your battle.  
No more thrashing about for you, dear boy.  
You are now at peace & can sleep comfortably.  
You'll always be in our hearts & in our thoughts.  
We'll always love you.  
Go play with your sister Baligan, & your brothers D.O.G. & Kokomo, who I am sure met you at the bridge.  
Although you never met them, I am sure they were waiting for you.  
Be seizure free & run & play.  

Love, Danni, Jeff, Rai & AJ

Max -

You were my best friend and the light of my life. I think about you every moment of every day and would do anything to have you back to hug and to kiss. |
I miss you so much and so does your daddy.
I know that you are on a big, fluffy cloud watching us from above - being the beautiful angel in heaven that you always were on earth.
Mommy and daddy will see you again.
I won't forget to bring green beans and noodles for your tiny little belly.

Love you always and forever,

Mommy and Daddy
(Julie & David Perry)

Max, you were the best dog ever.
With us before marriage and kids.
With us through all our other pets.
Always faithful, kind, and patient, always loving unconditionally.
I will miss our walks and our talks, our trips to the bus-stop.
I hope you now understand why we chose not to put you through aggressive treatment for the cancer but rather, we wanted you to enjoy your last few months on this earth doing all the things that made you the happiest; eating all the things that tasted best to you.
You have left a huge hole in my heart. Please, please wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Cindy

Maxi Our Baby  
We did not let you go because we did not Love you We let you go because we Love you with all of our hearts. We did not want you in pain and not enjoying your life. Pain is not life.  

Mom and Dad

Our dear little Maxx, we are already missing you.
We have loved your specialness, your cuteness, and the world's record of 266 nonstop "kisses."
Somehow you knew Daddy saved you at the pound, just two days from being sent to the Rainbow Bridge because no one wanted you.
But Daddy came just in time to rescue you. He heard about a little schnauzer who was at the pound, and he rushed to save you.
You were hiding in a dark corner of the cage.
Daddy had to step inside the cage to get you. On the way home he held you in his arms, as stinky as you were, and let you look out the window.
You knew immediately that this was going to be a very special life.
You looked up at Daddy and gave him a quick "thank you" lick on the nose, and Daddy turned to mush.
You turned out to be a great addition for our family of rescued schnauzers.
You fit right in.
We knew you were getting old and arthritis was making it difficult for you to walk, but you still wanted to go to the park every day regardless.
And I've never known a little dog who liked dried pineapple before.
:-}
We don't know why your journey to the Rainbow Bridge came unexpectedly, but we do know we did all we could to make your life one of fun, unconditional love and protection.
Daddy and I hope you are running as fast as you want and enjoying God's kingdom.
We will always love you, little munchkin.

Peggy and Richard Meador

To my best friend Meg,  
The world seems empty without you- without your big brown eyes, wagging bum and constant kisses.  
You were the best thing that ever happened to me and I was so lucky to be able to love you.  
Thank you for coming into my life and being there when I needed you most.  
I will carry memories of you forever, until we meet again and we can play like we used to.  
I know you are in a better place now, with no pain and suffering.  
I love you with all my heart Meg, and miss you so much.  

Love Mom xoxoxo

Dear Mel,

I love you and know this, you are still in my heart, even though you are not with me on this earth any longer.  
I couldn't have had a better friend if you were a two legged person.  
You were there for me whenever I needed you ( which was alot ).  
I am a 260 pound 6 foot tall tough guy and losing you brings me to my knees.  
I know you are in heaven now, there is no other place you could be.  
I thank God for the time he gave us together, you were ( and still are ) one of the greatest gifts he ever gave to me.  
I hope you are looking down on me from your cloud and feeling the same.  
I will never forget you, I love you so much.  
I hope when my time comes, we will be together again.

Love, your best friend and Dad.

Mercedes,
I can't believe the time came for me to make the hardest decision in my life. Putting you to rest after 14 wonderful years has left a space in my heart so empty. One day I will look for you up in the beautiful sky and we will run and play ball together forever. You were such a great companion for me, you were there through thick and thin and the joy you brought me was more than I could ever have hoped for. I hope you know that my decision was for you to be at peace and not hurt anymore. I was being kind and unselfish by letting you go to a much better place. I will never forget you Sadie, and will miss you the rest of my life. I love you girl.

Mimi came to live with us 18 years ago.  
She bought her three little kittens with her, because neither she nor them had a home.

She and her kittens joined Sissy and others who shared our home.  
Once the kittens were old enough they went to live on a farm.

Thru out the years three more furbabies like Mimi came to live with us.  
Their names were Angel, Sassy and Larsey.

Sissy, who had welcomed Mimi to our home and Angel, who Mimi seem to know didn't have long to be with us, and Sassy have since gone to the Rainbow. They are now greeting Mimi.

Mimi, we knew that the time for you to leave us was near, but that didn't lessen the pain we felt when you left.

You were special in so many ways.  
You and your companions made trips to Florida with us each year.  
All of you enjoyed the warm sun beams that came thru the patio doors.  
You were always beside me when I needed you.  
You were the constant calm in Mommy's life.

Larsey had a hard time adjusting to Sassy passing only 2 months ago, and she is grieving for you now Mimi.  
She walks around the house wondering where her companions have gone.  
We are giving her extra love and attention, just like we know you would want us to.

We miss you Mimi.  
The house is not the same without you greeting us each morning.  
For 18 years we loved you and we still do.  
We believe in the Rainbow Bridge and know that some day we will meet again.

Karen and Terry Roberts

MINDY was a very beautiful and good dog. We feel so badly for the unfairness dealt to her in her lifetime and will forever pray her forgiveness. We believe that when she left us, she set the plan in motion for our present dog ANGEL to be sent into our lives, to give us the chance to show the love we really have. We love you MINDY!!

The Farbers

Mini was a black Toy Poodle who had a silver nose even as a puppy. I had her from the time she was nine months old: an unkempt and unruly rescue animal who learned to be a mannerly adult dog with a little wild streak remaining. She would thrash around to remove the groomer's bows as soon as possible and I always had to walk her on a leash due to her life-long desire to chase cars and challenge large trucks.
Mini saw me through many tough transitions in my life and a few joyous ones, even winning over my cat-person new husband who had never before had a dog. Mini taught me the grace of contentment and living in the moment, even in hard times. She could run like the wind when she was young and was gifted at giving surprise face-licks. She loved the drive-through windows at McDonald's (French fries!) and the bank (doggie treats!) and an ice cream shop where we used to walk for our "cheap date". She adored naps in sunbeams and car-rides and was an excellent traveler, really relishing Interstate rest stops. I miss the way she kept the kitchen floor spotless and barked in her sleep. Most of all I miss her constant, daily companionship.
When Mini was in her 12th year, her health began to deteriorate and her behavior as well. Her veterinarian believed she was suffering some sort of mental regression. We hope that we did the right thing for her in choosing euthanasia as the last autumn leaves were falling and buried her in a sunny spot in our backyard. Now she is happily free from crates, leashes, groomers, and thunderstorms. Perhaps Mini and her predecessors (Honey & Inky) are now chasing each other in circles at the Rainbow Bridge, where we hope to meet them again someday.
We love you and thank you for more than 11 years together, Little Mini. Your absence leaves a hole in our home and our hearts.

--Adele (& Andy)

Mishka, what will we do after nearly 17 years of your love and companionship?  
Happy to go anywhere as long as it was with your family, we hope you are happy now as you are reunited with your furry brother Mouse and once more able to run, chase and leap to the tops of refrigerators and the shoulders of startled deliverymen.  
We love & will miss you always.

Kim & Family

Missy, 03/89 - 05/08/06

"Garden shop and music kitty" "Tippy-head"Green-eyes and "Dirt-roller" "Greeter of all who entered"

You couldn't fight the chronic renal failure any longer and we know you missed your friend "Asia". You are surely together now in a much better place. Sweet and precious friend we miss you. 

"A Prayer for Animals"

Blessed are You Lord God maker of all living creatures.

On the fifth and sixth days of creation you called forth

fish in the sea birds in the air and animals on land.

You inspired St. Francis to call all animals his brothers and sisters.

We ask You to bless this animal. By the power of Your love

bring it across the Rainbow Bridge to be happy forever.

May we always praise You for Your beauty in creation.

Blessed are You Lord our God in all Your creatures. Amen

Diana and Roger Perenick

Missy was the most loyal friend for fifteen years.  
She will live in my heart forever and I look forward to meeting her at Rainbow Bridge.

Fran Hunt

I remember bringing you home. You were so small and cuddly with tiny paws and soft fur. As you got older you moved slower and stood on wobbly legs that gave out on you time after time. With tears in our eyes I drove you to the vet one last time, as you fell asleep I held your head and whisper in your ear thank you for taking care of me and bringing me the best years of my life, you were a joy, the love of my life, my heart is heavy knowing you are gone but we will meet again in rainbow heaven soon, Love, dad

Mitaine,

You were feral to all except me. Although you were never spayed you only had one kitten in your life. I have taken care of you for over 14 years and you repaid me with your trust and your love.
When I picked you up that last night you were still purring in my arms but you died peacefully in your sleep and I know that you did not suffer.
You go join your dog friend now (Yukon who passed away in March 2006) and give her my love.
I know that you are now together at Rainbow Bridge waiting for me.

Ginette

My baby has left me for heaven today.  
The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that I will see him again someday and that he is no longer just my baby, but my angel as well.  
I love you mittens, more than any words could ever explain.  
I know you will be okay with grandma & pop.  
But I am looking forward to the day I get to kiss your nose again, listen to you purr and receive all that nosing which is your way of showing your love.  
I love you and will never forget you.

Jessica

Schmutz, we love you more than you will ever know. While you were a demanding little girl you gave so much love. You were special to us and the whole family. Your heart was pure and your love was true and we will miss you always!

Phil and Fern Smith

I love and miss you so much.  
Love always to my pretty.

June & Philip

Moses -- You came to us from a shelter 9 years ago, when you were already 10, a handsome all-white boy, who came unfailingly from the far reaches of the house when anyone called your name, and who helped two more generations of abandoned kitties and pups be comfortable in their "forever home."
Rest how with Eeyore, H.Kat, Guinness, Fen, and Bo, sweet boy.
Lyle, Bailey, Oscar WildeCat, Magoo, Tyler, and the people who've loved you.

Elizabeth Nathans

Mr. Peabody was a dear and loyal companion. He loved doing the obedience exercises and earned his C.D. title before he was two.  
Every day with him was a treasure for which I am grateful.  
Truly a loan from God.

Susan Sherwin

I love you little Sparks. I can't stop crying because I could not find anyone to help you. I know you did not want to leave this earth yet. Kayo Tiger and Snowy are upset. They look for you every day. I think about you every minute of every day. You are such a good little boy cat. I miss you more than I could ever put into words. Wait for me.... love mom. * watch for my candles

I was never alone - I had Muddy!

When no one cared - I had Muddy!  
If I needed a hug - I had Muddy!

Although my dear Chessie is not here on this earth,  
I believe he is still beside me in spirit.

I'll always love Muddy as he will always love me.

I MISS YOU CHESSIE!!

Candace Davis

Goodbye Munchkin, Dad's baby girl.
We'll miss you so much.
Thanks for coming to stay with us.
We're so sorry, we just didn't know how sick you were.
But you're happy with Beau, Melissa, and your mom TJ now -- and you're healthy again.
Jack, Rosie, and Daisy will miss you, too.
We'll see you all again someday.

Love forever, Mom & Dad.

Our little Murphy lope....we will miss you greatly!  
You were such a wonderful dog!  
We know you are chasing balls and frisbee's in heaven!  
We love you Murphy!  
You'll always be my doodlebug!

Amy

We loved our Bonni so much. She's really missed. It's been 2 1/2 weeks, and it's still as fresh as it was when it happened. We are so thankful that we were able to be with her, and that she died at home, and with us loving, stroking, talking to her thru her last hour. It was very sudden, we think she had a stroke. She had not been ill at all.

She was a beautiful dog, with all the beauty of a Sheltie. As a puppy, she absolutely loved to play frisbee. She'd run after it, and bring it back all day if we'd let her! She also loved 'chasing' our daughter's horses. There is a fence between our yard and her pasture, and she'd run full speed ahead to bark at the horses. She would look back at us so proudly. If they whinnied or snorted, however, she'd take off running back to us! She was very sweet, and everyone who knew her loved her. It's still so hard to speak of her in the past tense. I still can't believe she's gone...........
Bonni-girl, I'll always love you.......
