Year 2007 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "B".

My sweet "prince of a kitty" is gone....I can't stop crying. He was a WONDERFUL companion and friend. He slept with me almost every night, for 12 years, on my pillow or on my head, and sometimes washed my hair. He liked to ride on my shoulders, and tried to lap sit constantly.
Just talking to him made him purr, and he would stare intently into my eyes when I talked. He never did anything wrong, not one thing. He loved grated cheese, tomato sauce (!?) and his favorite, chicken.
B-Cat helped me through my divorce, which I didn't want, after 23 years of marriage. He was a constant source of comfort and joy.
He suddenly became ill 3 days ago, and kidney failure was diagnosed. I had him put down 4 hours ago.
Now my house is dead and too quiet. No more B-Cat to greet me when I come home, or when I wake up. This pain is almost too much to bear.
B-Cat, thank you for your unconditional love. There are no words to describe how much I will miss you. You were and are loved with my very soul.
Your friend, protector and "Mom",
HOLLY

To my big girl who I loved with all my heart. I will always remember your kisses.

Jacqueline Short

Babe came to us just before Christmas 1994. He was this tiny lil ball of wh.fur w/blk. face & big blue eyes. He had attitude when a kitten, but as he aged, he became very affectionate & a constant companion. Wherever I sat or laid down, he was there.

We pulled him thru a couple of serious illnesses when he was young, one of which left him w/mental def. (mild).

Mar. 2007, he stopped eating. He was in liver failure when I got him to the vet. After a couple days hosp. we brought him hm. w/prog. of full recovery. I medicated & force fed for 2 wks. but his liver shut down & 3/23/07, we said goodbye.

The decision to let him go was soo hard. He was so sweet. RIP BabyBoo!

Jan

You left for Rainbow Bridge today
Our hearts you took when you went away
We miss you far more than words can tell
Our Babe, we love you as our hearts swell
With grief and lonliness without your song
But with you sweetie, we still sing along

See you at Rainbow Bridge dear Babe, your brothers and sisters still mourn your loss our dear loved one.

All our love....mommy and daddy

Babe lost one family early in life but gained another.
She brought with her change, challenges and energy.
She learned to trust and share her life.
She taught her new family that Love can't be bought with money only with Time, Affection and... Cookies.
She was a great teacher, a wonderful companion, a special member of the family.
Today she runs the beaches with the friends who ran ahead and will be sorely missed until those she loves left behind follow her across the Rainbow Bridge... for always.

Sharon, Serena, Anthony, Moriah, Tia Tweed & T-Rex

He will remain in our heart forever.
He had tremendous unconditional love as all pets do!!!!!!

Carol Marines

I will never forget how you helped me through hard times Babe. I will always be thankful for having you in my life. You were an awesome animal and will be missed by many people who also loved you.
Thank you for keeping me company. I will always have an empty place in my heart and home but I will fill it with the fondest memories of you.
Doty and Paco will take care of you until we meet again.
I love you my Babe.

Beverly Barber

How we miss the wagging tail, those brown eyes looking at us with love.
All the wonderful memories - like taking you on our vacations.
How you laid on my left shoulder when I was sleeping.
We are so grateful to have had you for so long, yet we grieve for you each day.
We were your last memory before the vet placed you into God's hand.
And now your memories fill our home, but in our hearts will always be a place reserved for you

Leroy & Cora Legg

I am really sorry I stepped on you!
I really, really am.
I will miss you.
I love you!

Jacqueline

My beautiful, gentle, affectionate friend. I shall love you forever.

Louise

My soft, gentle, loving friend, thank you, thank you, for giving us so much unconditional love and companionship. Thank you for making us laugh. Thank you for the comfort you have given me every night, as you lay on my tummy, purring until you fell asleep.
Thank you for trusting me. You are at peace now. Watch over us my angel, until we meet again.

Marie Déziel

Babs, our baby girl, we love you and miss you everyday. Though time has pass and the wound of your loss has healed your memory never has or will. We love you with all we have and only wish for one more day with you.

Love,

Daddy, Mama, and Bubba

Surivived by Blondie (by your adoption, I'll take good care of her), and Fluffy. We'll all miss you. Thank you for being in my life. You made many unbearable things easier to endure and kept me honest in my workouts. You will not be forgotten.

John Doane

I miss my little Baby! You will live in our hearts forever!

Lora Lavalle

My precious little girl will always be in my heart,she loved me so much, and I can't begin to express how much I loved her.

Myra Honeycutt

This is to honor the life of Baby, my sister's dog, that passed away this Tuesday.

I would like to remember the special bond that my sister Melanie and Baby always shared.....it was beautiful and worth cherishing.

Baby, you will live on in our hearts.

Greer G. Griffith

She'll always be my first baby

Jennifer Nowocien

He never really had a specified name; I was waiting to see what he was like before I gave him a permanant name. Until then, I settled for 'Baby'. So Baby it is....

Baby's mother abandoned him and left him freezing in the cold. By the time my mom found him, he was fozen stiff. But we nursed him back into a healthy-ish, energetic dog.

He was fine when I left him on the morning of Nov 30th, but when I got back from school he had passed on. I'm not sure why; whether he choked on food mom left him, went into a seizure, {He'd done that once before}or just was more sick than we knew.

What I do know is; if the Rainbow Bridge truly exists...then go have some fun, Baby....I'll be there to take you home shortly. I've got many friends that are there...at least this way, you won't have to be alone....

I love you, Baby. And I'll miss you. But be happy; When I come to get you we'll be separated again.

And I promise you can sleep with me as much as you want....

Megan

To Daddy's little Boy, Thank you for being my best friend and my rock for the past 15.5 years. It was hard to let you go to the Rainbow Bridge. But I know that you are happy and free of pain. I hope you can find Storm and Dutchess and let them know that Daddy still loves them and Misses them as much as I miss you. I will see all of you on the Bridge. Love Daddy

Baby Bucky Claire

I had to put my Baby Buck down this morning-she had an aneurysm that burst and she would not have recovered.
It was an unexpected event and a terrible shock.
I'd like to think that her passing was a loving, easy and peaceful one as I held her, petted her and talked to her through it all, but that is not a comforting thought right now.

She was the strongest, happiest (and the most stubborn) dog I've ever known, as well as a loving and giving one.
The loss of Baby's touches, smells, and her actions is the worst part.
She was an enthusiastic character who jumped for joy upon arising each morning, as well as when she saw me getting ready to feed her.
(She loved her food!)
Baby was tough-she was a street girl-and we had words the day before she passed over her eating a piece of aluminum foil (that food thing again!).
This is something that fills me with more grief and sadness than I can imagine when I think about it-that we had a difference of opinion the day before she died.
But that led us to the emergency room vet and unfortunately, you know the rest. The good news is that the evening before I had told her and the rest of our animal family that this has been the happiest time of my life because I had all of them in it.
So I hope those positive thoughts are what she took away with her and not our disagreement, because we were always in conflict about her eating things she should not eat (that street dog behavior again!). I did ask her for a sign that she had passed over okay, and sure enough, there was dirt from the plants on the living room floor this morning, a sign that she had been here and gone.

She was our morning alarm clock for all days, especially those when I did not want to get out of bed.
The original Claire, (my middle name for all of my pets who are found-on-the-street pets), her great sniffing nose led me to the idea and to the amazing place of dog assisted therapy volunteer work.
It was her gift to me. To carry it further someday soon through a new career path would allow me to honor her abilities, her jest for life and her memory. That's still in the planning stages and I am waiting for her to show me the way.

We all miss her terribly and feel as if a great force of nature and that an incredible strength and light has left our house.
But I know that she is now out in a huge field without a leash, running hard and chasing squirrels, her favorite thing to do, with her incredible grin on her sweet yin yang face.
Everyone who knew her loved her, as did we.

Please honor her life along with me. She was the best and I shall miss her every day.
The decision today, although the right one, was by far one of the hardest I have ever had to make in my life.

Christine Weber

Baby was such a good little boy. He enjoyed laying in the son watching the ducks by the pond. He loved to sleep with us at night and keep us warm. He was the sweetest thing in the world and we miss him terribly. We love you baby!

Melanie

We love you and think of you often, Baby girl. I hope you found you beagle sister, Nala, and are having a wonderful time together at the Rainbow Bridge. We love you both so very much -

Rich & Julie Stoops

My dear Baby Angel,

In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still

Always be remembered and truly loved

your mommy

Thank you for bring much happiness into my life, You always knew when I was sick, You always knew when I was lonely, You always knew when I just needed a friend. You was always here to rub against my leg, or hop up in my lap.
You knew when I was in pain. You always seemed to know just what I needed to make me smile. You will be greatly missed, and loved forever!

Rhonda

Baby you were the BEST cat in the world, I miss you so very much.
I hope you are at peace now and in heaven looking down over me.
I will NEVER forget you and the time we spent together for the last 15 years.
God bless you.
You will be missed.

Bill Miller

Baby was the most special kitty I have ever known.
I came upon her at the Human Society as I was dropping off a baby squirrel.
She was a tiny kitten with a woman in line in front of me who was turning her in.
The staff was going to put her to sleep because she was too young and couldn't eat for herself.
My son and I stepped forward and asked to take her.
I had never bottle fed a kitten before but found it one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.
I named the kitten Baby because she reminded me of a baby when she drank her milk from a bottle.
After finishing her bottle she would climb onto my shoulder in order to be burped.
After burping her, I would wrap her in a piece of cloth and rock her gently from side to side--she would fall asleep very quickly.
As Baby grew, she quickly became the most special pet in our household.
I had a routine with her where I would lie down with her to take a nap and she would face me with her head on my shoulder.
She would lick my arm several times and then go to sleep.
Her favorite thing was to eat turkey and if she knew someone might be making a sandwich, she would come running and insist on a piece for herself.
In fact, if we called out "turkey" she would always come running.
Baby's life came to an end on 9/3/07 as she was apparently hit by a car.
She was not with us long enough--she brought us tremendous joy and we will forever miss her.

Maria Duncan

BABY WAS THE BEST DOG ANYONE COULD ASK FOR..HE WAS SO SMART AND AFFECTIONATE. HE WOULD COME AND LAY IN MY ARMS WHEN I'M TAKING A NAP AND WOULD SNOOZE WITH ME.
I GOT BABY WHEN HE WAS ONLY 6 WEEKS OLD AND HE WAS STILL A STRONG, HEALTHY DOG WHEN I LOST HIM TO THE COYOTES ...
I'M SO SORRY BABY BOY, I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
I WISH I CAN HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS AND KISS YOU RIGHT NOW.
IT'S BEEN TWO DAYS SINCE YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM ME AND I'M HURTING SO MUCH.
I KEEP HEARING YOUR BELLS AND I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS... I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN ONE DAY AND WE WILL BE TOGETHER FOREVER.
DEAN, TIFFANIE AND I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH.
REST IN PEACE MY LOVE.

Madelyne

Baby was a sweet, feisty kitty who loved to snuggle and I would often wake up with her either on my pillow or spooning her. She was very vocal and would let me know when she wanted to eat or even when she thought it was quite urgent to have a bit of whatever I was eating. She was such a big part of me, and I felt that we were bonded in a very deep way. She taught me so much and loved me better than many humans could have done. My heart is aching for her. I can't wait to have her run into my arms once again and hear her sweet meow and purring.

Julie Hawkins

Baby was the smallest of three beautiful kittens. Being the runt of the litter gave her the name. But she was a baby in so many ways. Love kept her going even though the vets only gave her at the most 5 years to live because of her many allergies. She was with us for close to 11 years. She taught us love and compassion and to never give up. She is missed every day. The little people in her life ask about her, "the Baby kitty that wore clothes". Baby wore a shirt for most of her life. Her real kitty mom and brother miss her terribly. Her brother joined her today at the Rainbow Bridge so she will not be alone. Our hearts are broken. I just hope there is a computer monitor at the bridge so they can play with the Catz screensaver once again.

Lori Choman

Baby, You are my best friend. You were always there for me. Momma didn't know you were so sick.....I miss you and the way you were always beside me. You would have done anything for me, and for that I will be looking forward to being with you again. You are my "Cow", "Moo Cow", "Velvet Head", "Babers", "Momma's girl" and "Old Woman". I will never forget the way you loved to play on the beach, and swim in the harbor. Momma kept your collar for the memories that is with it. The way you loved to chase your ball, and the plastic bottles, or sticks and whatever you could find to chase.
I will always love you! And you will always be in heart! Momma

Baby was the light of our lives. She was our only "child" and my constant companion through several lengthy battles with cancer.
We miss her very much and will not forget her.

Jon & Melissa Huffman

For Baby, may you find your friend Mimi and together you can play and be happy. Until we see each other again, I love you.

Teresa

Dearest Baby,

We love you and miss you, Baby Boy.
Girlie misses you too.
You're our boy!
We can't wait to see you again some day.
You have new, perfect hips now, so you can run and play all you want with the other puppies, kitties, and bunnies.
I hope there's a ball up there for you to chase after.
Go have some fun, Baby!

With all our Love forever and ever,

Mommy and Daddy

You were a true friend and always there throughout the years. You came into our lives when the kids were babies and walked a long road with us. Mom was only 23 when we got you, now she is 37. When mom's time comes your urn will be in her arms. Benny(your son), Bootsie, mouse, Tony Michael, Daisy & Bonnie all miss you too. Thank you so much for being a wonderful friend and always part of our family. Miss you more than words can say.Hugs and Kisses forever.

Wendy, Cassy, Tony, Glenn

We knew each other only breifly, less than four weeks, but i just felt like we'd known each other forever. I'm overwhelmed that you had to go so suddenly, I really miss you...

Baby you were a sweetheart. I hate thinking that i'll never see your little face as your scambling up the cage to see me, and I'm going to miss playing with you everyday.

Most of all I'm going to miss all the love you used to give me, all the kisses and seeing your face light up as soon as I enter the room.

I'll love you for ever, and never forget how special you were. Sebastion will look after you, don't worry he wont chase you. Please say hi to him for me.

Until we meet again Baby. I love you...

Kate Mitchell

Baby,

From when we first saw you as a 6 week old puppy until last Friday, you were the light of our eyes.
Your personality, smile, and unconditional love will never be forgotten.

I know that you are waiting for us and that we will all be reunited again.
The last few years of your illness were hard on all of us!!

We will always cherish our memories of the Baby Boo Boo that liked to play snakey and did not like anyone getting her fuzzy!

All our love,

Momma and Pappa

Baby was my sweet kitty cat.
He and I had a very special bond.
When I was sad he always came to comfort me and make me feel better.
Now I am sad and I don't have my baby to comfort me anymore.
I miss you so much my friend and enjoyed the almost 16 years we got to have togother.

Beth Boothman

We only had you for what seemed like a short time, but the love you gave to our family will be with us forever.
Keep practicing your bug catching.
Please play with L.C. and Katie and give them our love.

Leslie

Baby, you are my beloved little boy.
I love you so much, and I know you loved me too.
You were completely devoted to me, and for that I thank you.

I feel I owe Baby this tribute, to tell the world what he was like, because he was "misunderstood" in a way.
He was never really a happy dog - he just kind of tolerating life, but it never stopped him from his mission of always wanting to be with me.

I got Baby from an ex-bf when I was 21 and I'm 32 now.
He was with me for the entire last third of my whole life.
I was a different person when I got him. I can't believe that our time together is over already.

To make a long story short I found out Baby had mitral valve heart disease about 4 years ago and he'd been on medication ever since. Symptoms really picked up in the last couple years (mainly coughing/tiredness) but the last year has been the worst, and it's taken a large emotional toll on me watching him slowly suffer (amongst other ailments). It's been very difficult to go for such a long time in a state of "pre-grieving" and especially because people don't understand why I loved *this* particular dog so much because of his disposition. I guess it just doesn't matter what anyone else thinks but me and Baby. He has served a purpose in my life and he has been by my side for so long, and was there when I felt completely alone. I wish someone else could see *why* I love Baby so much, but unfortunately since he didn't act like a "normal" dog should, nobody understands. I was somehow able to see past Baby's outer shell and see his true soul, and I love him completely.

I just wanted the world to know that this little guy existed here for a time, and he was loved.

You will always be my precious Baby boy.

Holly

She was our baby and gave much love and is deeply missed.

Terry, Heather, and Kristin

We've lost our daughter and know she awaits us at Rainbow Bridge with her ball in her mouth.
We miss you so very much girl and will never forget you.

Robert D. & Catherine Cobb

Baby, with your wide-opened and
trusting eyes
you captured
my heart
and I
fell in love with you.
Velvet fur of shimmering gray
Eyes of aqua-marine
A heart of gold
You had me sold
On you.
Your loyalty was
Unfaltering…
You were brave
And funny and bold
Baby you’re an angel now
For all in heaven to hold.
Go play with Michael
And snuggle down with him
Tell him about “ma-ma” and
Your joy of drinking “wa-wa”
Your little soul will never
Grow dim.
Shine on little Baby, shine on.

Mari Bailey

We miss you so much BabyGirl...thank you for being our dog, thank you for loving us!
We know you are with Kisha now and you don't have to miss each other any more. Give yourself and Kisha a big kiss and hug from us!
Remember we will never lose each other...look for us and you will find us...we will look for you and we will find you!
Kisha will help you out as she found all of us,
and the two of you will one day help Fozzy, too.
You are always in our hearts, our minds, and our souls.
We will never be the same without you.
We love you!
Mom, Dad, Fozzy, Henry, Peppermint, and Blue.

Baby was my loyal little friend, who was always there for me no matter what -- up until the very end.
I can't believe she is gone.
I am completely heartbroken without her, and I don't think I will truly ever get over losing her.
I was there when she died this past Friday, and I've been crying and completely grief stricken ever since.
She was like my first child, and I always wanted to protect her, but this time there was nothing I could do.
I miss her so very much -- and I keep waiting for her to come running up to find me -- it seems so empty here without her.
She always greeted me at the door, and waited for me each night before going to bed.
In fact, when she became ill on Friday night, she waited for me to get home before passing on.
She had congestive heart failure, and she managed to hang on for three hours before her little body gave in.
I knew she didn't have much time left, but I just never expected the end to be so near.
Still, Baby lived for almost two years after being diagnosed.
I prayed to God to end her suffering if she wasn't going to get better, and because I didn't think I would have the heart to have her put to sleep.
Out of mercy, God took her with Him, and all I can do now is pray that she is happy in Heaven and that I will see her again someday so that I can hold her in my arms again and tell her again how much I love her.
I wish I could have more time with her to make up for all the times I wasn't there for her like she was for me.
I couldn't have asked for a more loyal, faithful, loving and beautiful friend.
I love you, Baby -- and I always will.
Rest in peace.

Lisa McCormack

She was my right hand man

Gary Nooner

Babydog was a sweet gentle member of our family.
Her absence grieves us and we ache for her black furry little body and her wagging tail.
Our love spanned 15 years and she was truly our 'little girl'
We know it was time to release her with dignity and grace.
We know she will be waiting for us, tail wagging madly, when our days here are ended.

Susan and Victor Hollingshead

Our beloved Baby tried to "hang in there" for us, it was the hardest decision Mommy and Daddy had to make.She was so sweet and special even when she went blind a year before she had to leave us. Dr Ford says you are just so tired and is most likely trying to stay alive bec. you knew we would be so devastated but it is not fair to you, our Sweetie Pie. Thank you for bringing us so much joy and teaching Mommy a lot of good lessons in life specially, our precious one. You will always be remembered and truly loved. Mommie and Daddy

Baby was rescued by us in the summer of 1989, 2 years after our first cats, Alpha & Omega left us.
Baby was possibly the most spoiled cat on this planet.
She ruled our lives for almost 18 years and rewarded our kindnesses with her constant purring and affection.
She had a strong will to live despite her many health issues the past few years but after losing nearly ½ her weight in 5 years, on February 12, 2007 at 2:50 pm, we held her as she took her last breath and slipped peacefully away.

Even though she is gone from our home, she will always live on in our hearts.
Her younger sibling, Bailey who normally runs around the house playing, getting into mischief & begging for treats has claimed Baby’s window seat as his own now & just lays there waiting for his friend to return home.

Jean Martowlis

We love you Baby Girl, we will miss you so much and we will never ever forget you.
Thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness into our lives... we will see you again someday at the Rainbow Bridge. Love, Mommy and Daddy

Baby was MY baby. She and I had a special bond.

Carolyn Tidwell

My faithful and loving compainion, I miss you and love you. You are in my heart and prayers every day. God watch over and care for you. Love Babys Mom

Baby, we had you for 15 1/2 years and we will love you forever. If only we could have had you a little bit longer especially for Christmas. We knew how much you liked to get presents. Putting you to sleep was the hardest thing we ever had to do but we know you were not afraid because we were with you and mommy held you close to her heart as you passed. We know we will see you again someday. We love you, our little baby girlie girl.

Jim & Elaine Decker

To my wonderful and beautiful companion, may you rest in peace.

Nancy Udell

He was me best friend, and if animals goto heaven I hope someday he meets me at the gates of heaven and welcomes me home.

Tina

Baby, i miss you so much and am having such a hard time living without you. You were my other half, and without you, I'm so incomplete. I knew it was going to hurt a lot when you had to leave me, but I could have never imagined how hollow I feel. I woke up this morning, and you weren't there. How can I go on and adjust to my life without you? 15 and a half years of being the most important thing to me is no longer home. The pain stings so bad of not holding you and rubbing you and talking to you. I love you so much and pray you don't hurt at all anymore. Please be happy and know we'll see each other again. If we believe that real hard, we really will. David sends you his love and he's glad he saw you last Friday night. Who could have imagined this would really be good-bye. You made me so happy and gave me so much in my life. I will always love you and I will never get another dog. You are my one and only Baby now and forever. You will always be a part of me and the memory of you cuts a huge hole in my heart. We had such a good life together. Please let there be some sort of after-life so I can see you and feel you. I need to be with you some more. i love my Baby. Please be with me everyday. i need you to be with me. Always, always, always, Mommy

I had a funny feeling when we left that morning for vacation but I thought everything would be ok because sissy was staying home to take care of you. It was my birthday and a day I'll never forget. We put you in you little kitty house at night to keep you safe from stray dogs getting in your yard and things that could harm you. I thought I was protecting you but instead I feel now like I set you up for desaister. I never thought such a creul human being would come in our yard take you out, harm you and I would never see you again. I am so sorry. You will never know how sorry I am.
I came back home and searched and searched for you. Even when I knew what really happened I just couldn't stop looking. Hoping that maybe just maybe you escaped this evil person. We put up poster and even got a call. But it wasn't you and once again our hearts were broke.
I know now that you are not comming home and I will never forgive myself for that. I even tried having that creul man thrown in jail. But because I couldn't find your little bodies they said we couldn't prove he actually harmed or killed you. Just that he trespassed. I'm still so mad and disapointed. To think that someone come to our home, your home and just took you out of our lives is so unfair and just not right.
Sometimes I look out the window and I can almost see you all playing. I even catch myself calling for you or looking for you when it's treat time. But I know you are in a place where the treats here can't even compare. You were each special and have your own special place in our hearts. We put your memorial at the tree beside Bubby. I bet he was happy to see you in a way that we couldn't imagine or know. And someday we know we will see you too. But until then please forgive us, know we love you so so much, and that you will live in our hearts and memories forever. That no one can take from us. So until we meet agian, we love and miss you.
Love,
Mommy, Sissy's, and Baby Aly

"Baby" Bird, thank you for all the love, happiness and sunshine you brought into my life.
I will never forget you. You will be in my heart forever.
You were the most beautiful thing in my life. I cannot believe you are gone.
I will miss your cuddles and kisses.
I wish I could still hold you and sing you lullabyes, give you hugs and
kisses, gently stroke
the feathers on your head because I know that made you very happy.
I will miss hearing you call me "Ma".
I will miss you asking me for a cookie all the time. I will miss all the games we used to play together.
You have the most beautiful soul, and you will always be a part of my soul.
I long for the day to kiss and hold you again, I know it will happen one day when we meet at the rainbow bridge in heaven.
I can't bear the thought of never being with you again.
Until later........ my beautiful "Baby" Bird.
Love Forever, Ma

Thanks for being my friend.
Now there will be no more storms and thunder.

Leslie Willis

Baby was a beautiful, gentle,loving soul who loved life and all people and dogs.
Squirrels did not come high on her list, but she saw a place for them too.
Her passing is not only the loss of a beloved pet, but a friend who loved me through good and bad times.
She was and is much loved and missed.

Baby Celeste came into our life when she was only 6 weeks old.
We adopted her from the North Shore Animal League in LI, NY.
My son and husband and I alternated the 2AM feedings with the dropper and the baby food and formula as she had not yet been properly weaned.
We assume she was abandoned.
Baby was independent and smart, graceful (she did ballet poses and was my "precious ballerina"), demanding (always meowing for food and attention), and loyal (always sleeping on my bed and ever at my side, especially when I knit during our quiet evening hours.
Also always at the door waiting to be admitted into ANY room I was in.) She was so tiny in those first days when she went through the weaning process (my son, Mike, does a wonderful imitation of her gulping her food from the dropper which is very healing for me to recall!)...When she passed on, she was only 5 lbs., a real drop from the robust 14 pound cat she once was.
So it was kinder to help her and not to let her suffer.
But I miss her so already, and she is not gone more than a day! (I held all my kitties in my arms when they died, whether they died without assitance or not...I always wanted to help them over the bridge.
Baby died of renal failure, Spanky had cancer and Karma had a stroke.) Baby was very much like me in so many ways, and I feel I have lost a part of myself now that she is gone.
But I know she is with her beloved Karma, who died two years ago, and my beloved Spanky, who passed on more than ten years ago. I now that they all are with no pain...that they live in the light of G-d's presence, there with friends and family...my Dad and my Mom.
And someday I will hold them all again.
They are all in my heart...and she is my Baby forever! So I thank her for being there in my life and to G-d for giving her to me to be the steward of her care and I thank all my companion kitties for sharing my life.
I love you all!
It was a privelege to know you.
May G-d bless you, Baby, Karma and Spanky.
I hope you are all together...and when I pass to the Rainbow Bridge, please be there with me again.

Please remember my sweet Angel Baby in your thoughts. We lost her Tuesday, 11/27/07. She went in for surgery to remove an abdominal cyst and they discovered she had severely advanced liver and pancreatic disease (likely cancer). We had no idea this was going on - her bloodwork indicated some measure of enzyme imbalance in her liver and pancreas, but because of the cyst, an ultrasound could not and did not reveal how bad she actually was.

Although I wish we had had more time with her on this earth, we are consoled that she was never in pain and that she never regained consciousness following her surgery. She is terribly missed - the absence is palpably painful.

She was a GREAT cat. I was a Humane Society foster care giver specializing in wild (feral) cats for YEARS. She was the only one of seven full litters of wild kittens for whom I never found a permanent home. I realized that this was because she was meant for me - I was meant to be her human.
She was a talkative kitty, and her meows always indicated her state of mind. When we talked to her, she would concentrate so hard - I knew she was trying to understand. She had a violent hatred of blue painter's tape - if it was stuck to ANYTHING, she would work and pull it off and spit it on the ground. She reached for me and my husband every chance she got - literally. She'd stretch out a paw to touch us or get our attention when she felt she deserved it (which was always!). Once she made contact, she'd make little paw-biscuits. With any luck, we had fabric over the skin in question when she did so.

She was one of a litter of six wild kittens - all beautiful tabbies like her. They were wild, vicious little things when I first started fostering them. When you foster wild kittens, you isolate them (preferably in a bathroom) with food, water and a kitty box and you have to go in at regular intervals every day to work with them - pick them up, pet them, feed them - tame them. She was the first of her litter to come around (she was a fearless soul), and when I would work with the others, she would literally climb my leg to my lap and demand my attention. She had her own personality and moods, and was very expressive. She loved me and my husband fiercely.

There's an empty place in my heart that only her warm, living presence could assuage - but if that's the price for all the loving given AND received, it's well worth the cost.

She is terribly missed and was and still is completely loved.

In Loving Honor of Baby Girl, Now an Angel
1993 - November 27, 2007.

Rena, Grady and Angel Baby

You were a good girl and will be missed
badly. We will always have a place in our hearts for you.

Candy Hayes and Mechelle Hayes

My sweetness came into my life along with her brother as an orphan at about 4 weeks of age. I bottle fed them both until they began eating on their own. She was a beautiful with long gray hair and big green eyes that seemed to sparkle all the time. For a little over a year she filled our home with love and affection and then just like that she was gone.

I held my sweetness as she past from this life to the next,talking to her and comforting her as best I could. I miss her terribly and am waiting for the day when we will be united at the Rainbow Bridge. Rest in peace my sweetness until we meet again.

B.Simmons

You were my baby girl and now you are my baby angel.

Shannymcd

My little "tard".
You are without a doubt the sweetest thing that ever came into my life.
You had fifteen wonderful years...and up until the last couple of days..you still thought you were a kitten.
You never knew old age, and only demanded head rubbing and your water changed every hour.
You'll be with me and your mom forever.
Enjoy your next life Baby Girl...we can't wait to see you again.

Jim Wooldridge

baby girl was hit by a car in front of our house monday night, the driver never stopped to see if she was ok. my husband and i was with her when she passed away which was about 10 to 15 mins. after she was hit. her little body was crushed,im not sure if she knew we were there or not but i rubbed her forehead and asked god to please hurry and take her so she wouldnt suffer.and i believe in my heart that god already had her wrapped in his arms and she was not laying there suffering.

Lisa Peterson

Vicki

I'll miss you forever.

Maureen Lee

If tears could build a stairway
and memories build a lane.
I'd walk right up to heaven,
and bring you home again.

Oskar

in memory of my Baby-Jaxy
I'll love you forever I'll like you for always,
forever and ever my baby-bun you'll be.

accidentally wandered a bit too far from home before weaning. I was lucky enough to be adopted by you as your mom
I did my best and held, loved, and cuddled you till your very last moment.
Thank you for being my sweet snuggle-bunny even for such a short time.
Jax II and Kiwi miss you too!
(II's trying hard to live up to your name, he's just happy to have one now!)

Jennifer Schweding

Baby Kitty, you came to us when we were having a yard sale - "skinny and wet" you knew there was NO MORE RUNNING.

Your long hair, my Calico beauty. You were loving and when things were going your way, the "Baby Kitty Cyclone" went spinning through the house.

You gave us a gift my daughter, my friend - you taught us that "cats do have tempers", and we had best not ever see yours.
:)

Samantha and Romeo tried to bully you, but you put everyone in check; cats, dogs, people, even the deer.

My heart aches when I think of your pain, the guilt I feel for your last hours.
Your seizure my buddy, my daughter, my friend - "your life was gone within hours, i hope and pray you were not in pain".
I will never forget the look in your eyes; scared, helpless and confused. My friend, I hope you know, "I tried my best, and the Lord is my witness, I never, ever thought you would be leaving that morning".

When the light of a million candles from the earth met the glow from the Rainbow Bridge, you will see the brilliant colors merging with the clouds, soon we will embrace, my Baby Kitty, I love you so, our hearts will soon be one, once again and forever more.

Merry Christmas Baby Kitty, give a hug to Samantha and Romeo for me and please tell them to give you a BIG kiss from me.

Colleen Lunardi

To our Baby Kitty

We couldn't have kept you in if we wanted to

we wish we could have protected you out there

we're glad we were able to give you a happy life.

It's been a year, but we still miss you so.

John and Jenn Ferguson

I am so sorry Baby Kitty.
If I had closed the basement door, the neighbors Weimeramer would not have gone down and killed you.
Right here in my own home.
I am soo sorry I did not keep you safe.
Please forgive me.
I love you. mom.

Baby Lou the most beautiful fluffy calico cat I ever layed eyes on!
You were as smart as a whip and pretty much ruled the roost until your sister Maggie Mae my beautiful blue merle aussie came to live with us.
Then you were a pair of white, black, and orange colors.
Well, now you are together at the "Rainbow Bridge" as Maggie came to join you 2 short months ago.
I hope you will love one another and curl up together because I cannot be there for now to love each of you, only in my heart.
I miss you so, as life will never be the same without my calico girls.
You gave me strength when I was so sick and made me laugh when I was so down.Your love cannot be replaced by another.
One calico cat one blue merle aussie dog, made my life complete.
Now you are both gone, only for a short while. My heart is broken, but I know you will both be there when I come to meet you at the bridge and then we will all cross into Heaven together.
Until then play and rest, and keep each other company, as I will see my two girls soon.
I miss you so,my life is empty and lonely,without you, there is a huge whole in my heart. I cannot wait to see you again.
You made my life complete.
My bed is empty,as I lay here and cry in my pillow each night. But my heart is full of love for both of you.
I miss you so! Please wait for me, I am coming soon!
Love, your mommy

Your Daddy and me miss you so very much Lucky , we no longer rush down stairs in the mornings any more , we have not been out for a walk , it,s not the same without you there ,

we hope you arrived after your journey , safe , and met up with Max and Bonnie , tell them we love them to .

well just a short message , just like we used to have , just to let you know we still love you and will see you all in time , LOOK AFTER THE OTHER TWO FOR US , you know that they can be a handfull .

ALL MY LOVE TO YOU Lucky Mummy ,

I'm Sorry Baby ... I didn't do my best and made mistakes....I hope you forgive me....
I'm praying for you everyday so that you will find comfort, warmth, health and Greatest Happiness in our Lord's house. God Bless Your Soul, Baby Pete <3

I miss you sooo much, as well as your sister...
Rest in Peace my Rockabye Baby...I love you.

And here's a poem for you my Baby...

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Thank You, Baby for sharing a few days with me...I love you and can't wait to see you again in Heaven above. Till' we meet again....

Luv~Mommy

My cat Baby was the sweetest feline angel I had ever met. I miss him so much. Baby you helped me through so much and we went through all of our "firsts" in life together. I look out the window in our apartment and I see the rabbits and birds running around and the rabbits remind me of you when they scratch an itch with their back legs. Remember Baby I used to call you "thumper" because of that? I love you so much and I know your brothers Princess and Lucky miss you too. They might even be there with you. Only you know. I will never forget you and your love your goofiness your amazing ability to open the cabinet doors and get stuck inside the cabinet and your learned love of drinking water out of the bathroom sink and also sleeping in the sink. Thank you for choosing me and for saving my life.

Love Mommy Sarah

Baby Snooks, I miss you so much. You are my sweet baby boy and I will always love you. Thank you for all of the joy that you brough to my life. I love you Snooky Boy.

Danielle

Baby was first and foremost my best friend and constant companion, she was Bubbles’ mother, a Saint John ambulance therapy dog, visiting Sick Kids Hospital and Covenant House for run away teens, for over 6 years, friend and buddy to Greg my son and Susie our other dog that also just died of the same invasive mammary cancer on June 22,2007. She was what made coming home each night so wonderful and was my constant remnder of what God’s love looks like in living form.

Cindy and Greg

You brought love and happiness into my life and for that I thank you cookiebear. I thank god for you because you were the best thing that ever happened to me and I will always love and cherish the short time we spent together.

Dori Lacap

My best friend, thank you for all the years. I will remember you forever and look for you when I get there. I love you. Mom

Gale Smith

My beautiful Baby Girl.
How I have missed you.
You came to me as this tiny handful of white fur.
For 14 years you were my best friend and loved unconditionally.
You don't know how many times I reach to the top of my pillow to rub your spot.
Bear is on his way to see you today.
I told him not to take your baby-toy away from you, but if you could share it with him.
He's had a rough couple of weeks and needs some fun and play time.
Take care of each other and know we love you both and will miss you both forever.
Love, Momma Shauna

BABY WAS SUCH A SWEET PRECIOUS GIRL. WE CALLED HER OUR 'MIRACLE BABY'. SHE LOVED AND WAS LOVED BY EVERYONE THAT CAME IN CONTACT WITH HER BECAUSE OF HER LOVING PERSONALITY.
SHE WILL BE MISSED TERRIBLY AND WILL HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS. REST IN PEACE OUR SWEET GIRL TIL WE MEET AGAIN. MOMA LOVES AND MISSES YOU SO MUCH.

Sandra and Lamar Watson

Babyboy this morning you went to the Rainbow Bridge to be with Deja. Man, I loved you so much and I'll miss you more than any words can ever decribe. You were such a gentle giant. You were so special and always knew how to make me laugh. When you see Deja you'll be so happy to run and play with her again. God Bless You and give Deja my love. Mama

In loving memory of my precious little boy, Babycakes, who remains truly a gift from God, for every good and perfect gift comes down to us from the Father of Lights. You remain forever in my heart and no day goes by that I do not think of you and miss you terribly. I look forward to the day that I will see my true companion and friend,never again to know the pain of parting.

Pamela Bowman McCamy

We went through so many things in life together...you were always there.
I miss you already. :,(

Heather

BabyDoo (Cockatiel), we raised you from a birdie baby. We enjoyed you and your singing for only 3 short years, but we'll always remember you.
MomGail, DadJack, and SisCol B.

My sweet little angel brought me joy, laughter and comfort during some very difficult times. When I called her name or her nickname, Sunshine, she would come trotting to me like a horse. She loved playing with the fluffy ball and always sat on a pillow by my shoulder when I sat on the couch. She also loved to sit on my lap. When I let her into my bedroom to sleep with me on rare occasion, she would get so excited she'd purr like crazy and rollover again and again. But she was so good - when I told her to lay down when it was time to sleep, she did just that. She was a wonderful, sweet, loving pet who gave me so much happiness. I will always remember her and she'll have a special place in my heart. I pray that she is feeling no pain or discomfort and is trotting around Heaven, playing with a ball and being held in God's loving arms. My heart just aches for her and I hope to joyfully reunite with her in the next world. I love you angel.

Leslie Cummings

Babygirl was the best dog in the whole world she was smart as a whip. She knew when u needed her and she was right at your side.
I could let her outside and she would never leave the yard. I have never been this close to a dog my entire life and I will never forget her. She was my bestest friend.
I LOVE U BABY

Carla

Babygirl I'm going to miss your silliness I will my mommies girl. Now my two best girls are together again but our memories will be in my heart forever. Love you BABYGIRL (mommies girl)

Vickie Bendixen

Dear Sweet Baby…

We miss you so much. There’s a hole in my heart without you here. In my head, I know you're in a better place because you're no longer sick and you can breathe easily without any problems, but in my heart I still want you here with me. I hope you know how much we loved you, Baby, you were such a sweetheart. I don't know how we're going to go on without you. I wish I could have you still sitting on my shoulder or just inside my shirt looking up at me in your sweet way, thanking me for taking care of you. I never minded taking care of you and please know that I did everything I could to try to make you happy and comfortable. You know how much Ryan loved you (& Cleo), and I know his heart is breaking, too, without you here. He will so miss taking you for rides in his shopping cart and will continue to play your song in loving memory of you. Cleo misses her friend and cagemate. She now has that big cage to herself and nobody to wrestle or play around with. And I feel empty without you sitting on my shoulder. We will love you always and never forget what a sweet, gentle rat you were and how, in just two short years, you've come to mean so much to our family.

We love you, Babykakes, and you will always remain forever in our hearts.

Love Always, Mom, Ryan & Cleo

BabyKitty... you were only with me for a very short time but you lit up my life. I don't know how my days are going to be without you. You were my baby. Such a good boy. I still think that its all a dream. That I am going to wake up again and you will be running in my room to give me snuggles. Toby isn't going to be the same without you. And Angus is helping me cope. I am sorry I couldn't be there for you. Please forgive me. I love you with all my heart. I miss you. I'll never forget you.

Jenni Eckenrode

Baci means "kiss" in Italian.
He got that name because he loved to kiss people's faces.
I found him in my backyard in the winter, about 12 years ago.
He was a great friend, and tolerated the birth of our child very well.
He never once scratched or bit my son, in spite of less than careful handling sometimes when my son was a toddler.
He comforted me through the loss of two pregnancies, the loss of my grandmother, and the loss of my marriage.
He was a sweet and true friend, and I will never forget my cuddly, purring Baci.

Kimberly

It's hard to say goodbye to your pet, your friend, and an important member of the family.
16 years passes by in a snap and you are gone. We are going to miss you and hope to see you again along the way. Goodbye Baci....good friend.

Roy and Sandy

Baci was the sweetest Cocker Spaniel ever. She loved children. She was a great companion. There was not a mean bone in her body. She will forever be in my heart.

Kim Tombolesi

We had Backdraft since he was 11 weeks old.
He was a liver Dalmation.
He loved his family so much that he would have died for them at any time.

Ron and Sheryl

Bacon was killed by a hit and run driver on Saturday evening before Christmas.
We are devastated over losing him.
After losing our child 2 years ago, Bacon had helped heal the hole in our hearts. All the joy and happiness we felt we'd lost, radiated abundantly from Bacon. He helped us heal.
We were finally ready to celebrate our first Christmas in three years when he was taken from us -- one second he was there -- the next gone.
He was loved by all.
And we'll not be the same again without him.
Bubba, your mama and papa love you very much and miss you everyday.

You had a hard life little girl, you were special, different, stubborn and delightful is many unusual ways.
We will miss you.
We love you, I am sure you will make your presence known in life to come.
You were strong for such a small little girl.
You will leave a vacancy in our life, god bless you sweetie.
Love Mom, TJ and the rest of the family we love you.

Deb

Hunt on old man love and miss you millions

Ann Oakley

I LOVE AND MISS YOU EVERYDAY BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS
WITH ME IN MY HEART.
TIL WE MEET AGAIN, WAIT AT THE BRIDGE FOR ME.

MUMMY

The most mild mannered, pleasant little furbum ever to be met.
Your illness took you in the end, so now at least the pain has gone.
Rest in peace little furry one x

Lindsay Kemp

You were such a very special little man Badger.
We are all missing you so much.
I hope you are playing happily at the Bridge with brother Bodger!
The house seems empty without you and Schmichael is so sad to have lost his little mate.

We love you so much Badger

Love Debbie, Ellie, Schmichael and all the other little piggies. XXXX

To my boy with the big heart, figuratively and literally- thank you for teaching me how to run, and for loving all around you.

Kristi

i am so far away from her. she will die in a few hours and i can t be with her. i m in mexiko and my cat is with my mother in germany. i pray for her and my mind is with her every second. she was everything for me, she was my life and my rock. i hope she can forgive me that i can t be with her on the day of her death

Sandra Steffen

A gentle soul who was deeply loved and will be forever missed

Bagerha
I remember the night I got you.You were this tiny furball.5 weeks old.You brought so much joy to my life.The almost 11 years we were together are the best years of my life.As I look back at all the crazy things you would do,like when you took the bag of screws and buried them when I had to go in the house.It took me sometime to find them.Or how you would runaround in circles from the house to the truck when I told you,do you want to go bye-bye.You will always be my big boy.The day you went to the Rainbow Bridge was the hardest day of my life.You passed away on you pillow at home.The house is empty without you.You will always be in my heart.I love you and miss you so much Bagerha.Everyday that passes is one day closer we are going to meet at the Rainbow Bridge and be together forever.
I love you always,
Daddy

Rest in Peace Baby. I love you loads and loads!
And I miss you every day!
Wait for me at rainbow bridge ok?
Then we can be together forever and ever!
Keep hopping!
Lots and lots of love and cuddles
Sarah (mummy) xxxxxxx

From the day you chose us at the shelter you grabbed our hearts...thank you for watching over us and always being there.
Play with Cayenne till we see you.

Baggy-boy, I love you

Diana Prat

Bagheera was a very special cat. Sleek, black and shiney, he was beautiful, elegant, intelligent, affectionate and well-mannered (and also quirky). He loved human companionship and would politely settle down next to me when I was reading or sewing.
At bedtime, though, he wanted to cuddle under my arm, with his head on my chest.
His life was not the longest, but it was fun-filled and action-packed!
he loved to play "jungle-cat" in the back yard. His lifelong ambition was to catch a squirrell, but he never succeeded. He was the "Great Bug Hunter" though, and he also kept our other cat, Tiger Lily, on her toes and well exercised!
He will be greatly missed.

Christine Demarais

To the BEST Dog in the World!!! We will miss you terribly.
You did not ever show your pain only your unconditional love for us and we will be eternally greatful for that gift.
We know that you are at peace now and someday we will meet again.
Until then my sweet dog "Bailee" you will never be forgotten!

Kelli Lalor

For 13 years you enriched our lives and the lives of all you touched.
You were the best dog we ever had and will be sorely missed.
From the day we brought you home, you were an important part of our family.
You will always be remembered for your gentle disposition, your sweet smile, and the way you took over our hearts.
Rest in peace. We will see you at the bridge.
We miss you.

Love,

Mom & Dad

You were the happiest puppy - full of life and fun...Your friend, Biff, will miss you and had not forgotten you even though we have been seperated these last few years....you will always be in our hearts

will see you over the rainbow

love you

Helen West

Bailey "O", my little angel. You came into my life on Christmas day 13 years ago and left on the same day this year. How special is that? You are a very special and precious baby boy that has brought so many wonderful years to my life and companionship to Brandy. You were there for me when I needed comfort and you were the one who healed my heart through many years of pain and suffering when no one else was around. I am blessed that you were a part of my life. You gave me strength to carry on in the very worst of times. You were a larger than life Golden with a huge heart and a very gentle soul. When the lord suddenly came calling, I knew your place in heaven was ready. Brandy and I will miss you dearly but we await the time for our places too and look forward to being with you again soon. My dear Buddy, Monkey, Bailey "O", we love you dearly and you will be greatly missed. I have made a very special place for you here that you will be remembered by. Comfort those where you are now, they need you too.

Janilyn & Brandy

Bailey was my best friend for 13 years. He was known as the Energizer Bunny by his doctors for the way he fought through his heart and breathing problems for over 2 years. He was always a good boy and tried so hard to please. He will be missed by everyone, even the kitty.

Carolyn and Critter (The Kitty)

BAILEY
WE LOVE YOU BABY

Monica

Bailey was my best friend. We have been together since he was 6 weeks old and we grew to be kindred spirits. I love him with all of my heart and he will always be with me. I will miss him more than words can express.

Bailey... I love you. Please be a good boy for daddy in heaven. You have been a good, good kitty. I hope you are no longer in pain and are totally healthy again. I know we'll be together soon. Je taime.

Kara Dion

Please pray for Bailey, who left us today December 14, 2007.
He spent the last 2 years of his life grieving over the loss of our other dog Bucky and died of a broken heart.
I hope they are together now in doggy heaven.

Tiffany

He loved and was loved and thus he changed our world.

Ron & Ruth Ranger

Bailey was a good dog, obedient and eager to please.
We took him at the age of seven when his previous owner could no longer keep him.
Having only three teeth, when he was very happy, he somehow managed to make the one front tooth, on the bottom left side, appear.
At first my husband's buddy, he came to love us both equally.
This house is too quiet without him to greet us or to be near us when we are reading or watching tv.
I take comfort in the fact that he can now breathe easily, with no discomfort.
Also, he is now with our first dog, our beloved Macy, of whom he became so fond of.
We miss you Bailey and love you more than anything. xoxo

Barbara Barry

Bailey was my baby I miss you so,I wish I could have done more for you. You ment so much to me and I love you. You will be missed so much. I will never forget everything you helped me through. I love you !

Danielle Neuber

Our beloved Bailey, we miss you so much.
You brought such joy to our lives.
You were such a loyal companion and friend to us.
We could never thank you enough for all you have done for us.
Your loyalty, your kisses, your playfulness, the love in your eyes, putting up with our silly behavior!
Thank you for being such wonderful good boy. You stay with Buddy on the bridge. Take care of him and play with your flopper until we meet again. We love you Bailey Boo Feher! aka Beezer, The Beez, Bailey Beezer Feher, Sir Bailey Baldwin Feher, the love of our lives!

Thom and Lisa

We will miss you Bailey Boy - my sweetest angel.
go play - run and jump again
you deserve it!

Mike and Jeanne Johnson

We put our beloved pet to sleep yesterday and find ourselves riddled with guilt. Bailey had not been herself for awhile. As I sit here with tears streaming down my face I think of what a wonderful companion she was to me. Always faithful always excited to see me, even when I didn't deserve it. She has found a permanent spot in our families hearts and she is truly missed.
We love you Bailey

Lisa Sallee

We considered our precious Bailey our first child.
He was the best dog anyone could have and we were so blessed to have him for 7 wonderful years.
His passing has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through.
I miss him terribly and wish he were still here.
I love him so much and always will.
He is in a better place now I know, but it still brings me much pain to not be able to see him and pet him and love him everyday. I LOVE YOU BAILEY!!!

Kimberly Abdella

I can't believe it's only been two hours since that fated phone call from Dr Sandy. I saw these words written for another Bailey dog and couldn't have said them better myself....
I never dreamed I wouldn't see you again.
You kept your illness to yourself until you couldn't hide it any longer.
But that was how you were.
From the day I took you home until the day I lost you, we had a special connection.
I loved you the instant I laid eyes on you.
I miss you terribly my sweet Bailey boy. I will never forget those gentle and sweet brown eyes that looked right into my soul.
You were my special dog.
Your dog brother Oscar misses you too.
He's lost without you to guide him.
Claire and Pauly miss you so much too.
Daddy and I are doing our best to help your canine brother and human siblings but there is no replacement for you. God bless you and thank you for such a wonderful unconditional love. I hope you are happy and peaceful with my dad (your granddad) up in heaven watching out for all of us down here until we meet again...
I love you, B.
Mommy aka Cheryl

She was the sweetest little dog, full of love, and always happy.
She never met a human she didn't love, and there wasn't a person who met her that didn't fall in love with her, too.
I will miss her, and love her, forever.

Kathy

I miss you baby girl.
You brought such joy to my life.
Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Bailey was the beloved pet of Joan and Tom.
He has been ill for a while, suffering from renal failure.
Bailey brought great joy to my parents, and he will be greatly missed...

Joan and Tom McCulloch

Bailey, my best friend for over 9 years.
I am so sorry I could not help you to get better.
You were so brave when we had to say goodbye to one another.
I will always remember our last peaceful day together and our last minutes together while I held you on our patio.
You will always be in my heart.
I love you!!!!
And look forward to finding you at the bridge, all healthy again, in the future.
Mom

Bailey...

You gave me 13 wonderful years of sheer joy & companionship.
You never judged, only loved.
My time with you will be one of my fondest memories.
I brought you up as a wonderful puppy & watched you grow into a lifelong friend.
Not a day will go by that I don't think of you.

Forever in my heart...I love you Bailey.

Bradley

My beautiful Bailey was with me for 6 short but
very happy years.
Bailey's passing away was very sudden.
I love her and miss her dearly.
She was so very shy & timid but so full of love. I am blessed to have had Bailey as a part of my life.
I look forward to being together again someday.
Until then may she be happy & healthy.
God Bless my Bailey.

Melody

You was with us for such a short time but oh the joy you bought to our lives. We miss you Bailey more than you will ever know & look forward to the day when we will be reunited with you. Run & play as much as you want........we know you are happy. All our love to you always.......

Ginny & Jim Stockton

Our hearts were broken when you left us that day, but our memories of you are happy.
Miss you.

June & Steve Calacone

Bailey was a GREAT dog.
I know this because it is the way almost everyone describes him.
My family, friends and I will miss him.
We think of him everyday and will always remember him fondly. We love you, Bailey.

Stephen Payleitner

Your pain is gone now but mine wont heal. It's been 4 months now since we said goodbye and still today my heart is aching. Your presence is still so strong and if only I could hold you once again I would wish for nothing more. You will never be forgotten and one day I too will be with you at the rainbow bridge where we will play again.
I love you Mom

In memory of the most beautiful furry friend one could ever hope for. Bailey showed us what unconditional love truly is. You are our angel with fur. You are loved very much and will live on in our memories. We love and miss you-our beautiful, gentle Bailey Girl.
Love Forever,
Susan, Rob, Nicholas, Seana & Patrick

I miss your cold nose as my alarm clock.
You are my angel and my healer of broken hearts.
I love you more than words and thank you for touching my life.
Now there is no pain and no storms to be afaid of.
I love you baby boy, you will always be mommmy's angel puppy.

Tonight my best friend was allowed to sleep. Bailey had liver cancer . He was fine yesterday and today just lyed by the door and would not eat his favorite turkey or anything. His gums looked funny, so I called my vet, told me to bring him.After several xrays and finding him jaundice the xray showed a tomber on his liver and his liver was 2x normal. Blood work detected that 4-5 times the number of red cells were being broken down. After consults and calls the realistic progroness was less than 10% to survive
more than a month at longest. I didn't want to see him suffer, he was my "buddy" and I really miss him. He joined his extended family of 8 cats I've had in 55 years and most lived to 20or more years , but BAILEY was 7yrs,3months, 6 days young. Ipray that he is resting over the bridge enjoying himself. Bye Bailey,you were a true friend and companion who helped me through cancer and much more. Sleep tight buddy. Papa

Bailey came into my life 4 yrs. ago, unable to walk due to a back injury. I was only going to foster him until he got better and adopted from the shelter I volunteer at. He never left and after some other medical issues, he just made my home, his home. Bailey was such a character. He made me smile everyday with his antics. He would also have a conversation with you, but he always had the last word. Unfortunately he got ill this past week and it became apparent that nothing could be done to save him. I helped him to the rainbow bridge at the young age of 7 1/2 yrs old. I loved him so much and will miss him always.It is way to quiet here now..............

Paula Fadden

In the park or at the beach,
you always stayed within my reach.
Your soft brindle fur, your big brown eyes,
your loving demeanor and your playful cries.
I'll never forget our thirteen years,
for my Bailey love I shed my tears.
And if the Rainbow Bridge is as real as it seems,
I'll see you again outside of my dreams.

Lori

I never dreamed I wouldn't see you again.
You kept your illness to yourself until you couldn't hide it any longer.
But that was how you were.
From the day I got you until the day I lost you, we had a special connection.
I loved you the instant I laid eyes on you.
I miss you terribly my sweet Bailey boy. I will never forget those intense beautiful eyes that looked right into my soul.
You were my special dog.
Your dog Casey misses you too.
He's lost without you to guide him.
We are doing our best to help him but there is no replacement for you for him or for us.
God bless you and thank you for such a wonderful love.

Stacy

My sweet Bailey,

We all miss you very much! You were such a good loving dog and it was our honor to have been able to love and take care of you for almost eight years. Even though you were taken way to early, we take comfort in the fact that you are no longer suffering. We pray that you are in Rainbow Bridge playing with Sheba and Smokey and that you are happy and pain free. We will never forget you and love you forever. Till we meet again...
Linda, Christina and Nicole

Bailey will be terribly missed. He was only 7 years old but in that short time he became our friend, companion and was the best dog we have ever known. We hope he is in a better place and no longer suffering. We love you Bailey!!
Linda, Christina and Nicole

The most wonderful companion I could have wished for.

Karen

I wanted Bailey the moment I saw him in the pet store-he was standing on his hind legs, trying to figure a way to get out.
I was told he was sold, but later that day got a call from the store, saying the "cinnamon brown bunny" was still available if I wanted him.
So home he came.

There are so many stories I could tell about him.
He was cranky (he had days when he was in a mood, and beware any cat dumb enough to get in his way), stubborn (he went in his cage when he was darn good and ready, not before), miserable (he was prone to sulking when he didn't get what he wanted) and so loveable.
He would lay beside me in bed and lick my face until we both fell asleep. He was also funny (he would run up and down the hall, doing laps and chasing cats).

He was a good judge of character, and there were times when I wished I'd paid better attention to him.
However, when my husband met him for the first time, and Bailey lay next to him on the floor and groomed him, I knew I was making the right choice.

The vets were astounded to see a rabbit so old.
They were impressed with us as owners-we must take such good care of him.
But, I believe it was all up to Bailey.
He was too busy and too stubborn to leave.
His eyes failed, his hearing went, and his teeth began growing crazy, but still he was raring to fight a cat or beg for his much loved toast in the morning.

When Bailey decided it was time to go, he went quickly.
The vet had to assist him, but he told is in no uncertain terms it was time.
He loved us enough to let us go-not the other way around.
He was our pooh-bear, the stuff legends are made of, and our lives will never be the same without him.

Kelly and Keith Buccini

My little boy, you were here for only 8 years but brought us so much love and happiness. I'll miss you baby and I'll love you for an eternity xoxo

You were my little guy & made us all smile, you were the light in our home. I miss your bark, you're little tricks and you beside me as I fall to sleep and wake up. You were part of our family and always will be. It's not the same without you and my heart is broken. You were diagnosed with diabetes in January and lived 7 more happy months with us. Even though your death seem to come so quickly, we never took you for granted, we knew everyday with you was a blessing.

I'm so happy you are at peace and as perfect as you were the day I brought you home. Well I do hope you're fat & sassy again. My Baby I love you so much and I'll always miss you and I thank God for giving you to me. I'll miss you my best friend xoxoxo

Love you forever Mee-moe,
Kelli Ann (Mommy) & Mary (Grandma)

Bailey was 12 years old and had Cushings Disease.
She was diagnosed almost three years ago and we were blessed to have her those additional years.
Her body finally just got tired and gave out on her.
She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.

Stephanie

Simply the best dog ever. You will never be forgotten. I love you.

I KNOW YOU ARE WITH MILES AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE AND WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN. MY HEART IS BROKEN BAILEY AND I DON'T THINK I CAN STOP CRYING. I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS. MOM

Our beloved Bailey, passed onto Rainbow Bridge.
She was the love of our lives, when we came home she smiled at us and waved her paws while standing on her back legs.
She loved her ball and all her sisters, Truffles the cat & Mikyla & Erin.

She was our girl, our special happy girl, and it wasn't her time...I couldn't have done more, but everything inside of me tells me I could have...I will miss, love her, cherish her memories and pictures, and she touched all of our lives in a special Bailey way.

See you at Rainbow Bridge, say hi to Tigger and look over us, and know you will never be replaced in our hearts...we don't know what to do without you.
Love forever and always
Lyndon, Mary-Ellen, Mikyla, Erin & Truffles.

Bailey, I miss you so much and wonder what happened to you.
I pray that you did not suffer.
I hope you made it to Rainbow Bridge and I can't wait to see you again one day.
I will never forget you kitty.
I love you.

Robin Redman

Bailey was a sweet, loving pet ~ so patient with our two toddler boys, and a loving companion to me during the roughest times in my life.

He suffered a severe stroke, and went peacefully this morning, July 6, 2007.

He is loved and missed.

Kristin Henderson

My sweetest B. Bones, I miss you so much. Through years of ups and downs, you were my one constant, my one faithful friend. I'm sorry I
had to let you go. I miss you every day. I wish I could feel your wet nose, pet your floppy ears and kiss your silly whiskers. Make sure you find Grandpa and play a game of fetch. I'll love you always!

Kara Wells

I'll never forget you Bailey.

Dedicated to my sweet Bailey:

We’ve known this day would come, we knew it from the start.
And now we sit together, me with a heavy heart.
I know that it is time, to release you from your pain.
There’s nothing left to do, nothing left to gain.

As I look into your eyes, I feel the pain I see
I know you have been holding on, just because of me.
You are my best friend, and I don’t want you to go
But loving you as I do, I can’t let you suffer so.

So as I hold you here, I just wanted you to know
Today I loved you most of all, Today I let you go.

© Julie Anne Reid

I loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you and that will never change!
Enjoy being healthy, strong and young again my sweet girl!
I miss you more than words can say!
Love you to the moon and back!

Kelli Rosell

How do you say goodbye to such a loyal, wonderful and amazing friend? He was our boy and he will be forever in our hearts.
Bailey, mommy and daddy love you forever and ever.
We can't wait to see you again!

Love always,
Mommy and Daddy

Bailey's Irish Cream was a gentle soul with a heart of gold.
He guarded his family with a special loving committment. He came to us at the age of 4 months from a rescue situation and gave the family 11 years of his kindness, his beauty and the joy of unconditional love.
He will be missed.

Billie

My precious Bailey, you brought so much joy into my life for the past 10 years.
I will always remember the special times we had together.
You were my best friend and you always will be in my heart!
Love you forever!!!

A good and noble dog. Bailey was the best dog that anyone could have hoped for. He was patient, kind and loving. He loved swimming, chewing all sorts of paper products and us. He waited until we could all be together before he gave up. We know he will be waiting for us on the other side.

Jill, Lee, Kate and Kyle

Sunday the 25th we lost our best friend. She had given us her unconditional love. She would keep me company while showing my horse. I always felt safe when I was with her alone. She let me dress her up for all of the holiday's. She'd pose for any picture I'd ask. to know her was to love her. I you were fortunate to meet her you were one of the lucky ones. I you didn't meet her it was your loss.
You are in my heart and we miss you dearly.
Good by Pink

"Hopper" my special boy.

You are gone but will never be forgotten Bail-bail.
We love you and miss you so much.
Say hey to Pepper and Callie for us.
We love you.

Megan Oakley

Bailey - A friend, healer and spirit guide. Always there, always curious. We miss you greatly. You were a special dog to many and your 16 years on earth were a gift to me. Your spirit will be with me always.

Joyce, Gina

Thank you my Best Friend for the years, memories and unconditional love.

Tammy

Bailey was our very special friend, she was a Tri coloured corgi, and looked liked a miniature German Sherpard with no legs. Bailey was such a good dog and so very very smart. We took obedience lessons together and she came out at the top of the class, agility wasn't her thing though as her legs were too short but she did try.
Bailey loved to chase balls and could go all day and we would tire out before she did.
We had her in a pet show once where she played soccer with me and brought the ball in for a goal. You could ask Bailey where her biscuits were and she would go right to the cupboard and point to them.
Two years ago when our basement flooded, and I was downstairs trying to "rescue" whatever I could I heard a splash, and thought it was my husband coming to help me, as it turned out, it was Bailey coming to help me, and unknowingly she landed in 5 ft of "freezing" cold water (Bailey couldn't swim, legs too short) I helped her out of the water right away but she would move from the stair landing for about 1/2 hour while she recovered from the shock. After the basement was cleaned up and renovated we had to actually carry her down so she could be we us, because she was afraid of another splash landing.
I miss her so much and it hurts even now.
When I knew it was "her time" I had to take her to the hospital so she could say good bye to Rick (my husband) who was in recovering from a broken back.
I really didn't want to make the "Final Decision" and even with that Bailey just knew, and she passed peacefully at home "Before" the vet came.

I will miss her always and I will be looking for her when the time comes.

I love you now and always Bailey, and Oz says hello.

Rick and Donna Cant

Bailey was my first baby and then the guardian to the human babies who followed. Bailey was not quite 13 when she suddenly stopped eating last week. Xrays showed cancer all through her lungs. When she could not wag her tail anymore I knew it was time to let her go, however I miss her more than I realized I would. I miss the clip clop of her nails on the hardwood floor. I miss her barking to go out and then barking to come in and then barking to go out, etc. She was always on the wrong side of the door. We miss you and love you forever Bailey.

Jan DeFeo

How do I begin to put into words what Bailey meant to me. The one constant in my life for 13 years.
My best friend, my bed buddy, travel companion, therapist.....the list could go on.

Although I know he is in a better place, I truly wish we had another 13 years ahead. When the light went out in his eyes this week, a part of me went with it.

I know we'll meet again, but until then I hope Bailey is in a place with overflowing food bowls, big comfy couches, giant yards with sun spots, and jumbo greenies (his favorite treats).

I hope he can run and play like he used to when he was younger, and that there are plenty of squirrels to chase around and garbages to go through.

It is terribly hard to accept a world without him, but I am comforted to know that he is at peace.

I love you and will miss you forever Bailey.

Bradley

Bailey...our precious and beautiful boy who was eternally happy, bouncy and I swear...smiling.
We MISS you so much.
We did EVERYTHING we could for you and nothing worked.
Modern science failed us all Beezers...it just couldn't help.

The house is SO quiet and Sammi girl misses you so much.
We didn't realize that you were the noisy one!
Always so joyful and bouncing around - getting everyone up and going.
It's just so, so quiet.

We are so sad my sweet Bailey boy.
Our hearts are broken.
You were such a GOOD boy.
YOU deserved so much better and we deserved way more years with you than we got.
It's been a week ago that you got sick and I still can't believe it.
It doesn't seem real.

We love you baby boy.
We will meet you at the bridge someday.
Until then, play and run and let the wind blow thru your beautiful fur.

Love,

Mommy
(Kelli Broadbent)

To a sweet Bailey cat, who lived a brave and wonderful life.
You are loved and missed.

Katie Nelson

Thanks for being my friend and companion. I am sorry for the rough start you had in life and wish we could have overcome it. I hope you enjoyed the last threee years. May you be at peace and at play.
I love you.

Karen Kastler

Too, Bailey, A doggie in Bellingham, WA., that passed away this morning.
His family did so much for his cancer, even, cell
stem infusions.
Bailey did well for 6 months, but went on his next journey this am.
To those that LOVED him so much!!! I commend you, for your LOVE!!!!
You shall see, Bailey again!!!!!
He is leaping, and bounding now! NO MORE PAIN!!
HUGS to his family, that feel grief.

Deborah Marlott

Bailey was the sweetest, most affectionate and playful cat we've ever known. He died suddenly and unexpectedly. We miss him, but are grateful for the time we had with him. He was greatly loved by Grandma Michele and Tyler.

There will never be another dog like Bailey.

Bob and Marilyn

He was a loving pet who died way ahead of his time. Named after George Bailey, he died in my arms after watching "It's a Wonderful Life" and I am grateful for the time I had with him and he was in my arms when he passed onto the Rainbow Bridge.

Dianne

Bailey taught me most of what I know about parrots. Although I have five other parrots, Bailey was the most social. She loved people! She loved to be involved in everything that was going on, whether it be cooking, cleaning, watching TV, or working in the office. She could take paper from the printer, put clothes in the washing machine and keep a little Pekingese company. She made paper sculptures from Dixie cups and I made spirit dolls with her cast-off feathers. She could see my car pull into the parking space on the street under her window, and would call to me "Mama" or "I love you Bailey Bean." She was irrepressable and irreplacable. The week of her unexpected death, I was contracted to write a book on "Open Your Heart to Pets." How coincidental, as this parrot opened my heart more than any other pet ever has or ever could. Her death was sudden and I miss her every day. I envision that she now flies freely wherever I hope to be one day, checking things out for the day my spirit can join hers.

Janice Phelps

We are so grateful for having been blessed with the best Kitty. Bailey had the heart and spirit of a true lion and he gave us so much love and laughter. He is in our hearts forever.

The Ogdahl Family

Bailey was the light of everyone's life.
She was such a bright little puppy.
Always playing and happy.
She had this funny little sound she would make when she was upset with you.
We would say that she mooed at you.
We lost our sweet baby girl when she accidentally got out of the house and was hit by a car.
We loved her so very much.
We are truly broken hearted.
We miss you so Bailey.
We love you so much our little Bailey Boo.

MY FIRST DAY WITHOUT MY BAILEY.......
My Dear Sweet Bailey Bug,
It's now been one full day without you in my life. I spent the entire night sobbing over the loss of you. I keep remembering your big, beautiful brown eyes looking up at me in total love and trust, and you licking away my tears, as you drew your last breath. I sobbed and held your body and rocked you for almost an hour. I still can't believe what happened. Even the vet, with all his years of seeing pets die, was crying and told me it is rare to see the love I had for you. He said "often people cry, but you are obviousley devistated and are in very deep pain. Your level of grief is rare to see". In a matter of minutes, my day went from great, to the worst day of my life. When I came home from the store yesterday morning, and walked in the door, and you weren't there to greet me (and to check out what was in the grocery bags!) I KNEW something was terribly wrong. You had greeted me every time I came home, no matter what time it was,there you were, wagging your tail, and waiting for a hug. I walked into the bedroom and found you. I could see that you were completely paralyised, and yet you were trying to crawl to me to greet me. Apparently you had jumped down off the bed, like you had done millions of times before, every time you heard my car, and when you landed, it broke your back, resulting in your paralyisis. I immediatley scooped you up in my arms, and I thought somehow I could make you "young" again if I prayed hard enough, but in my heart I already knew this would be my last hours with you, and the tears started then. And they haven't stopped yet. I called your regular vet and they didn't "have time" to euthanize you. They were just too busy. So I called another and another and another and finally explained what happened and he said" Bring her in now". So I wrapped you in the little quilt I had made you last Christmas and carried you to the car and you laid your little head in my lap while driving there. A soon as the vet saw you, it just looked at me with sad eyes and said "I'm sorry. Her back is broken. There is nothing we can do to help her".
Deep in my heart I already knew that, but you always hope to hear different. The vet left me with you in the room so we could spend some time together. We both laid on some quilts and I held you in my arms and told you what a WONDERFUL girl you had always been. I told you that YOU were always my "favorite" one. But you knew I told that to Oliver & Chubbs too, and understood. You outlived your "husband" Oliver, and your sweet son, "Chubby". You were my first, and you stayed with me until the very end. I truly think you stayed, just to comfort me through the loss of Oliver & Chubby.
You were my little Bailey Boogers or Bailey Bug. I stroked your beautiful soft head and looked at those loving brown eyes of yours, so full of love and understanding and I could see that you were telling me that I needed to let you go now. It was time. You were tired and although you loved me like no other, you were ready to go across the Rainbow Bridge. It was time to go see Oliver & Chubbs and run through fields of daisey's and wildflowers. You had always told me what you needed. Whether it was pawing the door to come in or go out, or barking in the kitchen when it was time for dinner or a snack. Yesterday, you asked me to let you go. I would have given my own life to save yours my little Bailey. And now death was the hardest thing you have ever asked of me to give you. I wanted to be being selfish. You had become my world and I couldn't imagine my life without you in it. Now not only do I have to imagine it, I'm having to live it. Last night I spent the entire night on "ou r" bed, holding "your" pillow and sobbing. The pillow still smells like your favorite coconut shampoo (although you HATED baths!). Your pillow and purple collar are now all I have left of you. I left you wrapped in your Christmas quilt.
Someone sent me this poem last night.
A FINAL ACT OF CARING.....
There is a time to let go, a time to say "Good bye"
But how do we know when that time has come?
When there is no reasonable chance for a cure;
When pain can no longer be controlled;
When the quality of life has diminished;
When favorite activities are no longer possible;
When we do not have the financial or emotional resources to handle long term medical care;
We can act with compassion and end an animals life humanely and painlessly.
It is our final act of caring, and our final act of love.
I remember bringing you home. You were so tiny and cuddly with tiny little paws, soft fur, and HUGE brown eyes. Every time I looked into those eyes Bailey, I saw a very wise old soul. Your eyes always said it all. I could read your eyes like a book. You protected me. You made me laugh, sometimes to the point of crying. You licked away my tears during the divorce. Even if I had a bad day, I could come home and you wouldn't let up until I was laughing. Your eyes always said "Welcome home Mom! I missed you!" (Tail wagging)
You became my soul Bailey. I have never loved anything or anyone as much as I loved you. As you got older, your hair started to turn gray around your muzzle and your steps became slower.
When I would try to read the Sunday paper, you would lay completely across it in my lap. You never asked for anything other than my love and attention. I so hope I never let you down Bailey. I would pet your head and rub those huge ears of your as you went to sleep each night.
I LOVED YOU BEST...
SO THIS IS WHERE WE PART MY LOVE,
AND YOU'LL RUN ON, AROUND THE BEND,
GONE FROM SIGHT, BUT NOT FROM MIND,
NEW PLEASURES THERE, YOU'LL SUELY FIND.
I WILL GO ON, I'LL FIND STRENGTH,
LIFE MEASURES QUALITY, NOT IT'S LENGTH,
ONE LONG EMBRACE BEFORE YOU LEAVE ME,
SHARE ONE LAST LOOK, BEFORE I GRIEVE.
THERE ARE OTHERS, THAT MUCH IS TRUE,
BUT THEY WILL BE THEY, AND THEY ARE NOT YOU,
AND I, FAIR, IMPARTIAL, OR SO I THOUGHT,
I'LL REMEMBER ALL YOU'VE TAUGHT.
YOUR PLACE I'LL HOLD, YOU WILL BE MISSED,
THE FUR I STROKED, THE NOSE I KISSED,
AND AS YOU JOURNEY TO YOUR FINAL REST,
TAKE WITH YOU THIS, "I LOVED YOU BEST".

So now I must go and I'm forced to say goodbye my Bailey.
Give Oliver & Chubbs and BIG wet kiss from me. Now you can all finally be together and chase the squirrels in Heaven, and maybe this time you will catch one!
I have people offering to sell me puppies and saying "it's like falling off a bike, you have to get right back on" or "I'll take payments".
Some have been mean spirited. I don't know why.
Some say "It's just a dog!"
But then....they never met you!
I was so blessed by God to receive you into my life.
I was truly blessed by God again, that he allowed you to stay with me until the end.
This mountain seems too high to climb for me Bailey Bug.
How do you learn to live without the only thing that really mattered to you?
You were my "family" and now I am alone for the first time ever.
I miss you so much, my heart actually hurts.
Rest in peace my little love.
God bless you my Bailey. And thank you for being "you".
I loved you "best" and I WILL love you forever,
Your Mom
Laura
Arlington

Bailey, Mommy misses you so much, my heart aches. I'll miss your morning kisses and your loving ways.
You asked for so little but gave so much. oxoxox

Georgeanne Forsythe

Bailey was with me through everything. I got her when I was 19.
I had her through med school, residency, the Navy.
I miss her so much and this just feels like a bad dream that I can't wake up from.
I miss you and love you Bailey.

Poor Bailey Cat's 'family' left him at the Humane Society where I volunteer, claiming that they had no time to care for him. Bailey was 14 years old, in poor health and, judging from how dirty, obese and matted he was, he hadn't been properly cared for for a long time, if ever. I took sweet Bailey home as a foster kitty and tried to bring him back to health, but he had lost his will to live. Two times he sat in my lap and purred, enjoying being petted and hopefully feeling comforted and loved. I knew poor Bailey was miserable and I could feel that he wanted to cross the Bridge, so yesterday afternoon we took him back to the Humane Society to grant him his wish. We held him, petted him, kissed him and told him that we love him as he left this world for somewhere much better - where no one neglects and then abandons their precious cats. I'm so sorry for all of your hurt, Bailey, I wish we could've done something for you sooner. I do truly love you Bailey Cat, and I pray that we will meet again someday.

Rich & Julie Stoops

When we found you, it was a cold day in January 95.
Although the ground was covered with ice and snow, we still decided to make the drive.

I originally had reservations and Terre Haute to Anderson was a long, long way, but I went and when we arrived your siblings were happy with adoptive prospects and they were ready to play.
They chewed on our shoes, and nipped at our pants, their hearts were filled with glee, but you sat alone by yourself and when we walked towards you, you tried to run behind the couch and flee.

Then poppy grabbed you and placed you in my arms and said what about this one?
The minute that I took you in my arms, any reservations I had were gone. We took you home and you became our Bouncing Bailey girl.
From that moment on, you've been there for us, our constant friend, companion and confidant.

You were originally shy, and used to hide when people came, then you came out or your shell.
And yes, like all of us you had your moments, setting off the security system, chasing tractors, and deer hunting which put mommy and poppy through hell.

I let you do things that I swore would never be, like sleeping in our bed, sitting on our furniture and sharing our popcorn while watching T.V.

Youve been with us through multiple life changes, many good times and some bad, you never judged us, you didnt care you were always thankful for the wonderful parents you had.

When we were sick, you were there to comfort and console, you'd snuggle close to our belly, and when we were down and blue somehow you'd always know.

Youve taught us lessons about love and patience, and touched the hearts of many you see; you were not just a pet, you were much more than that, you were family.

Over 12 years has passed, since that special cold January 95 day, but each minute that weve spent together you've became even more special to us in every way.

Well cherish every memory weve shared and they'll always be in our hearts from dropping a tennis ball on poppy's chest at 2:00 am until the time you had to depart.

The time that weve spent together has been magical, more that you may ever know, but as we looked into your big brown eyes, we knew you were ready to go, Although it is hard for us, we know its time to part, we will meet you at the rainbow bridge someday and always remember that mommy and poppy loved you with all their heart.

We sat beside your bed, Our hearts were crushed and sore; We did our best to the end, 'Til we could do no more. In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away; And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some aching hearts, That loved you most sincere; We never will
forget you our beloved Bailey, best friend and companion so dear.

OUR DEAR BELOVED BAILEY WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM US TOO YOUNG; WE WANTED TO HAVE HIM WITH US FOR MANY MORE WONDERFUL YEARS. BAILEY HAS BEEN SUCH A GENTLEMAN, A VERY LOVING MAN, WHO LOVED PEOPLE, OTHER DOGS, HIS HOME, AND TRAVELING IN THE DODGE DIESEL TRUCK ON OUR MANY CAMPING TRIPS. WE ARE SO LONELY WITHOUT HIS VERY SOOTHING PRESENCE; HE WAS DADDY'S MAIN MAN!!

She has been with me for eight years and still has a brother here with us who is missing her terribly!!! She was my angel kitty...seriously...an angel. She would sleep by my head every night and would folow me wherever I went. I miss her so very much! I would call her Boo or boo-boo more than Bailey or I'd call her Bailey Boo. She was my princess and she holds a special place in my heart! I will always love her and never forget the happiness she brought to my life! I love you, Bailey-boo....always and forever!!!

Love, Mommy

Bailey is our angel our pretty girl and we will miss her terribly. We love you and await the day we are reunited.

Melissa Robair

Beloved Family Member. He will be missed so much, but he was loved so much more.

Elizabeth Meade

On March 7, 2006, we lost our beloved furry golden angel, Bailey, after a four month battle with lymphoma.
Bailey gave us so much joy and comfort.
He taught us to play and love, to live in the moment.
Bailey was strong and determined, and loved to fetch and run.
He was an ambassador, a comedian, a peacemaker, a table shark, and a great "co-pilot."
He had such a loud bark because he had so much to say.
He is truly an angel, a teacher, and a gift from God.
He was called home, but he is with us every day in our hearts.
We know Bailey is no longer in pain, and is in doggie heaven running free.
We will see him again someday in the "fields of gold."
We love you Bail-Bail, Tammy and Dennis

Bailey was one of the most beautiful 'people' I've ever known.
Sweet and gentle, yet tough when she felt her loved ones were threatened.
Now, she can play with her buddy- our old cat- who crossed over before her. You both are sorely missed.

Cassie Hooker

Goodbye my faithful friend.
I will miss you everyday.

Amy Dewalt

Forever missed and forever in my heart. My home is missing one of its most special parts. I watched as you were born. I cried as you left me, to grieve and to mourn. In the end you were in pain, for that I am so sorry. Rest assured, you will always be alive in my memory.

I love you, Bailey
Mommy misses her Fat Girl.

Brigetann Reilly

We miss you so much Bay-Dog...I know you are now pain free and so very happy. You will be in our hearts forever!!

Shelly Sturm

Bailey was my dear girl who traveled the entire east coast with me since I was 19 years old.
Through heartache, poverty and extreme uncertainty, she still loved me no matter where we were or if she didn't understand why we were doing it.
All who met her instantly loved her; she was that kind of girl.
Bailey has left quite a whole in our lives that can never be filled, but we will never forget the life lessons she taught us.
She is no longer weary.

Leigh Thomas

Tonight when I arrived home at 315am from work Bailey was clearly in awful distress. We had to rush her to Eden Prairie where she made her transition to the Rainbow Bridge. Today I am taking her in to the Pet Cremation Society ....it's been the most horrible, sad, heart wrenching thing I've ever gone through. She's at peace now and hopefully running around with my other dog Penny, my cat Sophie and bunny Ebony.
I can just imagine her smelling all the trees and grass and other critters, hearing again for the first time in a few years and restored to her youthful body. She was my loyal friend and my constant shadow for 11 yrs. Life will be so different without her...it will be a huge change but I know she is happy now. She was 9 days short of her 17th birthday......what a wonderfully long life she had and I was so blessed to have spent most of those years with her. She took care of me in all her healthy years and I took care of her in her frail senior years.....I really adored and loved her with all of my heart and soul. Give your dogs, cats and critters kisses and hugs today in Bailey's memory........savor each moment with them....it passes all too fast.

Nanci Dempsey

We miss you so much!! You were the light of our lives. We'll meet again. Love you.

Frank and Jan Journey

To our Mrs Fixit- we miss your cuddly presence, and nothing is the same anymore.
Your leaving has left a hole in our life.

Tracy

We will remember you

Brandi Barlow

I am dealing with the loss of a much loved dog. He was my best friend and companion, always there when I needed him. Whenever I was sad he knew and would come up on my lap even though he was 80 lbs and lick me in the face ntil I smiled. I need that the most right now. I will always remember him in his playful state he was frequently in, and his undying loyalty.

Nate Koerner Jessica Winkel

My true soul mate,you have left your huge paw print on my hart baby boy,i hope you understand why i sent you over the bridge you spent most of your young life in pain i tried so hard for you my big mate and not a min goes by when your not in my thoughts.i pray you can now be pain free and run and play,we will be together again one day my special boy.
Karen Redfearn

Karen

Dear Baker, you truly were the best dog in the whole wide world. As a puppy, you never chewed anything you shouldn't and as a little stud you sometimes would give us grief when out with your girlfriend(s). But as an old man, you always were by our side giving us much love, happiness and companionship. It certainly wasn't fair that you got cancer; we wish we could've taken that away from you. You knew we would treat you right. You are now at peace. We will miss you always. Forever & Ever.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Cathy, Michael, Lindsay & Evan

Oh Bali, when I first saw you all the way back in a little cage by yourself at the humane society I felt your presence.
You just had abortion and your stomach area still had the red from iodine all around including very big stitches.
We came to the humane society to adopt a kitten, but we came back home with you in 1990 who was no longer a kitten.

I picked you out, but you decided it was my husband Brad that was your person.
You wrapped yourself around his head in the car on the way back home.
It was love at first sight for you with Brad and it continued until the day you crossed the bridge.

We will miss you, but we know that you are surrounded with other fur babies of ours that have preceded you.
Play together and wait for us.

Rinshin

Bali -Boo, Keep a close eye on your son Thai until we meet again.

Susan Woodhouse

We miss you Baloo, you crazy old dog. We miss the head butts and Joey misses you stealing his bones.

Love,

Olivia Richard Jenny and Joey. :(

My dearest friend left me today..
My beautiful and loving cat, Baloo.. you were a great friend. You were by my side for 10 years, greeting me when I came home every day, sitting in my lap, giving me your special hugs, cuddling with me at night, waking me up each morning with kisses on my face. You were so sad when Ollie died last year, I'm sure the cancer came because you missed him so. Now you are together forever.. and I will forever miss and love you.

Jodi

Baloo was my best friend.
I miss him more then I could ever have imagined. He was the most amazing dog and I treasure the 9 1/2 years that we had together.

Christine Frappier

Baloo was the kindest, sweetest dog ever.
He was my baby from the word go.
He saw me through my college days and into adulthood.
There isn't a day goes by that he is not loved and missed by everyone who knew him.

Joy

farewell my dear friend

James Darnell Scharklet

Forever in my heart, I miss you my sweet boy.
I'm so sorry that I didn't get to you.
I hope God took you fast and you didn't spend long wondering why I wasn't there to save you.
I was trying.

Brandi

Bambi was a wonderful, full of love chihuahua. I miss him so much. It truly breaks my heart.

Angie Allen

She was the best girl, and had a good long life.
This last year had been so difficult, with illness
after illness.
But she always had a wagging tail,
and sweet attitude.
She was very loved and will always be missed.
My baby girl.

Angela

Bambi Christina Miller

Bambi gave us 13 years and 10 months of unconditional love, countless moments of laughter, companionship, protection, comfort…and so much more. There is a hole in our hearts and our lives that was once filled by the sweetest bundle of fur ever to walk on four legs. We miss her so much and will never forget her.
See you at the Rainbow Bridge Bambi!

Craig, Robin & Cheyenne Hanloh

Bambi you will alway be in our hearts.
We will never forget you.

Carol and Jerry Ramsey

Bambi our little girl.
We miss you terribly!
You will be gone a year in a week. You were the best friend I ever had and I can't forget you!
You have a new sister but she doesn't replace you.
There is still the hole in my heart left from you leaving us. We had a great 14 years but it went so fast.
I know your watching for me at Rainbow Bridge. I will be looking for you.
Until that time run and play and enjoy life with no pain!
I will run to you!!

We love you so much!
Mom and Dad

In loving memory of my best friend, I love & miss you BammBamm.

Judy L Ramos

My sweet Bamm Bamm...it has been four days since you left us...way to early.
Your Mom, Barry, Pebbles and Gazoo miss you so much.
Barry and I don't know how we will survive without you but we are trying not to cry all the time because your sister, Pebbles, got so sad she wouldn't eat or drink...we are trying to be strong for her.
Paige, Maddy and Sara (your kids) came to visit today and shared some tears for you.
I will always love you Bamm Bamm...rest in peace as we will meet again some day.
Love
Your Mom

I miss you Bamm...

Pam Winger

My sweet precious Bandit.
You were always so strong and independent.
Yet always so gentle.
So beautiful with fur as soft as silk.
As your litte body weakened, your spirit remained strong.
Thank you for being our special baby.
We love you and miss you.

Judy Schaeffer

He was my soul mate, my best friend and the love of my life.
I will forever love him.......

Dee Jensen

Bandit. . .Love, wait.

Olivia A. Napariu

Thank You my precious Bandit for loving me these past twelve years.I will never forget you.
You have been the love of my life... a gift from God. And now I return you to Him till we meet again.So long dad's girl...I will miss you so....

Robert A Leduc

A very gentle, kind cat succumbed to stomach cancer at far too young an age. He was our friend, the guardian of our home and a playmate to our children. He looked like a cow (black and white), acted like a dog (greeted us at the door and begged for food), but he was a cat. We named him Bandit, but our daughter couldn't say it properly, so she called him Bubba and it stuck. We will miss his sparkling eyes, his gentle purr, his love of cuddling, his soft fur and most of all his friendship. We take comfort that his pain is gone. We just wish ours was.

Lisa and Bart Omand

You were a loving companion for many years. When you became tired and weary, you hid it from us to spare our feelings. We love you and miss you.

Renee and Justen Green

We love you Bandit and always will.
We miss your constant companionship and your loving closeness.
We will never forget you.
You will always be mommy and daddy's little boy.

Ray and Ann Maire Geissel

Today, I lost my beloved Bandit to acute renal failure. I had him for over 13 yrs, longer than any other cat that I had ever had, now he has crossed the rainbow bridge to join his older brothers and sisters, Sarge, Cookie, and Van Buren.

John

Bandit was the best pup a family could ask for. Loving, Loyal, just a compete sweetheart. Mom used to call him the "kissing Bandit" because all he would do was steal kisses when we weren't looking. His untimely tragic death has scared our hearts, but his loving memory heals our pain.

Shirley Stinnett, Pamela Verbash

Our perfect boy! A big teddy bear with a huge amount of love! We miss you so much.

Robyn and Chris

Bandit was my childhood cat...I had him for 15 years. He was an outside cat always getting into fights..He was the most affectionate cat I've ever had. I got him as a Christmas present when I was 3 years old.

He passed away naturally and I still think of him everyday.

Jennifer

Bandit arrived in our lives
over 12 years ago. She was the sweetest dog that anyone could have asked for. At the time, my son Ilan, had recently had a double-lung transplant.He carried Bandit home to our house in a little basket-little did he know that Bandit would end up weighing more than him! Ilan passed away when Bandit was 6 years old, and me and my husband started to bake doggie cookies and cakes and to donate a portion of the proceeds of sales to the Cystic Fibrosis Association.Now, only today, we buried our Bandit. She was always a joy in our lives. Her memory will always live on in our hearts and in her line of cookies- Bandit's Biscuits. We love you, my sweet girl.
Love and lots of licks, Mommy and Daddy.

Bandit was my insides.
Since her passing, I feel hollow.
She was my best friend, my savior, my
shadow and constant companion.
Everyone should be so lucky to have a friend like her.

Jean Winner

Bandit you were were a very special cat. You were there for me in the morning and the night. Always wanting to go outside, and sometimes wanting to stay out late, and me worrying about you. You were great with the kids. and I'll miss you dearly.... You took a little piece of me, and I can't wait till we meet again. So, Bandit enjoy being outside all the time, and smelling the bushes, and eating grass, till we meet again.

Adrien Paquin

Wonderful, sweet, gentle,loving cat.
A best friend.

Linda

Bandit was a survivor and fighter.
He had health issues, but overcame most of them.
He loved watermelon, raisins, and herbs from my garden.

Sarah

Bandit was the most wonderful dog ever. He kept fighting up until the very end. I know he is happy and running around playing in heaven.

I'll always love you and forever carry you in my heart Bandit.

Melissa Rodriguez

Bandit was a wonderful dog. He was my husband's best friend. He would greet us every morning with a howl. He even sing songs to us he loved Country music. He would give my son horsey rides. He was the sweetest dog we have ever known. One of our favorite memories is when my cat had kittens and we showed them to Bandit and he made himself their daddy by licking them and protecting them when they were outside he even gave some of them piggy back rides. He will surely be missed.

Matt and Mary

Me and Mommy were looking for a dog to bring home. We went to the pound to find one and that is where we found Bandit. All the dogs at the pound were barking but Bandit was howling, as to say Hello to us. Before he got sick he was very energetic he loved to play with me. I felt so bad for him when he did get sick. MY daddy didn't want to give up on bandit, but soon he had to. I was watching T.V. when my daddy came in and told me the news. Then he went upstairs I came up stairs and saw him crying. I gave him lots of hugs. we will never forget Bandit. See you later Bandit.!!!!!!

Samantha

Bandit was the best friend I ever had.
She chose me when she was just a tiny fluff of fur and ever since I have been her "human".
She was my lap cat and was always willing to cuddle especially if I was upset.
We went through a lot together and I miss her dearly.
She was the last of my kiddos from that litter to pass on and it hurts so much that she is no longer here.

Mary McDowell

Bandit was a crazy dog. He was always doing something to make everybody laugh. He would water all the rose bushes down by peeing on them. We miss you. I know your now with your mom and sister. We will never forget you. You'll always be with us in spirit. I have your picture up on a shelf to see everyday. We love you!
Love mommy and papa

B we love you and miss you so much.
You were the best dalmatian ever.
I hope you will look over us and protect us until we can join you.

Allison Hourcle

God Bless You BB.
You are deeply loved and sorely missed.

Barbara & Bill Merritt

A gentle soul who brought love and joy and warmth into our home. You will be forever missed and never forgotten. We love you Bandit! See you on the other side.

Michael & Karen Van den Avont

You are our beloved best boy Bandit. We love and miss you so much sweetheart. You will live in our hearts forever and there will never be another like you! Rest well baby.

Kristen and John Lingner

To my bestest friend, buddy and companion. I miss you more than words can express and always will.You were always there for me and always seemed to make me feel better and now you are gone and I am lost. We had 15 wonderful years together which only made me love you more. I will never ever forget you. I miss you laying by me and keeping me company. I miss talking to you. I hope God takes good care of you until I can be with you and play again.

Your Momma

Bandit wasn't a dog to me and my husband,he was part of our family and he was our best friend, he gave us unconditional love and we will miss him and feel an emptiness until we are with him again.

Cheryl Thompson

To Bandit, my best canine companion, life will never be the same without you.
You were the best. I will miss you always.

Jennifer Wiseman

My beloved Bandit came to the Rainbow Bridge because of heart failure. I could not bear to see him suffering so I had him put to sleep.
I will always carry guilt because at the start of his final illness I was also extremely ill and was not able to notice his gradually worsening health.
I believe with every fiber of my being that he and all of my other "babies" and I will eventually be reunited.

L. N. Blanchard

The "sweetest baby in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD".
My "constant" for the last 14 years.
I never took one day for granted and loved you dearly the entire time you were here for me and will remember you fondly and lovingly for the rest of my life.

Donna Price

My dearest Bandit, for the short 6 months we had you, you gave more love than any other fuzzy(ferret) we've ever had. For such a small little guy, you had the biggest heart. Til we meet again on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.....we love & miss you,
Mom & Dad

HE GAVE US GREAT LOVE & JOY, AND MADE US LAUGH,WE'LL MISS HIM SO VERY MUCH.

Ed & Vickie Cline

Bandit, no need to have waited for Dad...he will find you when he greets you at Home. XO

Harry Fissel

xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

We had many of good years!!!

Lonely Owner

Bo-bo always had a way of brightening your day.
He would just look up at you with his cute little adorable eyes and you would instantly see how much he loved you.
He had such a wonderful personality and was so smart.
He made us laugh when he chased us around the house and when he was doing is weasel war dance (by himself, with us, or with his sister Baby Girl).
We miss him terribley, but smile & laugh when we often think of our wonderful memories of him and his antics.
Baby Girl misses her snuggle buddy.
Momma misses kissing his sweet pink nose and getting kisses in return.
And Daddy misses playing with him.
We definitely didn't know what we were getting ourselves into when we brought the two of them home.
We love you Bo-bo and can't wait till we see you again some day!!!

Heather and Bradley Jasinski

Bandit was my best friend and I miss him tremendously!

Nancy Lee

Bandit was a true gentlemen.
He never jumped on your lap unless he was invited.
He didn't glup or snap at his food.
He didn't overeat.
When he was finished or full, he walked away.
He always waited for you to cross the threshold first.
He liked your legs dry when you got out of the shower.
He didn't beg.
He loved you unconditionally.
He love to sleep in until about 9:00 A.M. He traveled all over the United States but especially loved to go on the four-wheeler to the mountains. He was a true companion and best friend.
We miss him very much.

Don and Linda Smith

Bandit walked into my life in 1996, when he walked onto the school campus where I was teaching.
He was about 5 months old and must have been left out on the street to fend for himself.
Bandit got along with my first dog, Barney, immediately...he fit right in.
Bandit helped comfort me during my sister's death and then later during Barney's death.
Bandit was so sweet and loving.
When it was time to get another dog after Barney went to the Rainbow Bridge, Bandit and I chose Daisy....because even though she's a cocker spaniel, her colors matched his.
He kept the look of a puppy in his face until these last few months as he suffered from cancer and cognestive heart failure.
Bandit was loved by everyone he met and ended up with a few nicknames.
We will all always love and remember "El Frito Banditito."

Jennifer K

We will miss you.
You were our best friend.
We will never forget you.
We will always love you.
Mom, Dad, and Aaron

Bandit you filled my life with so much joy. I miss you so very much . I have found that to love and be loved is the most empowering and exhilarating of all human emotions. Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone-we find it with another. I found all this and so much more with you I will never forget you.

Judy Bell

My constant companion and closest friend for eight years. I assumed we would have so much more time. It wasn't fair for you to get sick and die. It has been almost two years and I still smile when I think of you wearing your reindeer antlers for Christmas or your Princess costume at Halloween. You touched so many lives with your sweet, loving personality and when people still ask about you they can't believe that you are gone. I feel guilty I couldn't afford those expensive treatments to try to save you. You were my once-in-a-lifetime dog and I will never forget you, nor will the dozens of people around here who adored you. Keep stopping by in my dreams. I enjoy our visits so much.......

Amanda T. Carlson

After 4 years of multiple surgeries, and monthly visits to OSU Vet hospital, my very special friend gave me permission to end his suffering.
He contracted an e-coli virus in his urine that was unmoved by any know antibiotics.
The hardest decision I have ever made in my life, but the only decision that I could make.
My last gift that I could give was relief from suffering and peace to his poor worn out body.
Now my baby is whole again, and I wait for him to return to me.
Forever loved and missed.
My loyal, loving friend and baby, Banditt

Monica

Ilove and miss you my bandy girl.

you will be in my heart forever Love you always,you're mommy.

We had to let you go today
Eleven years you were in our lives
And in a few short weeks you
Became to ill to go on.

And although the grief and sorrow wells up in my chest, and every thought of you bring pain
I find I am remembering the moments of your life

Grabbing a piece of steak - bigger than you!
Hiding with the nintendo games
Bathing your buddies
Chasing a point of light up the wall
Sneaking out the door to eat grass like a truant kid off to smoke,
skulking back in at the sounds of our calls
Watching, watching for the blanket to hit the lap
Then racing your sister for the right to snuggle first
Asking for food right after eating
Stopping halfway down the stairs, just to tick off the dog
Your silky fur, so bright and soft
Your black bow tie when your paws were crossed.
Your quest for Pringles
Your deep throated purrs

Mostly the way you climbed on the bed,
every night - every night for over 11 years
Never before we were both there
Always to say goodnight and share some love.

Be happy and healthy, Banff. Be big and lazy.
Be never hungry and never scared.
And above all be loved.

Heather and Shane Jordan

Bang Bang was a quiet cat who liked to just sit by and watch everything going on. She had her own way of doing things which made it easy to figure out that she wasn't feeling herself. There was no cleaner cat on this earth. She liked to be picked up only when she wanted to be!! It was quite a shock to have her taken from us so quickly. She was a wonderful cat and will be a special addition to her side of the rainbow bridge. Bang Bang we all LOVE and MISS YOU. PEACE until then

Ferreira Family

Thank you for your sacrifice... you didn't have to... I would've willingly taken your place if I only knew... You gave your wife the greatest gift... your life... thank you... you're the hero I can never be... I'm happy you went in peace... it brings a bittersweet relief to my aching soul... to you I offer this tribute... you deserve  this, Banikong. =)

Monika Ortega

To our precious "pup pups", Banjo and your littermate and constant companion, BonBon.
We thought we would have you with us for years, to watch you grow and mature into the sterling Bichons that we know you would have been.

Banjo, this is your tribute. Bonbon's is under her name, OK?
You were so cute, bringing us your special rocks you found in the back yard.. Even though you had a room full of toys, Nylabones and balls to play with.
You were a smart boy, Banjo, and you were learning many cute tricks, some just from watching the older dogs. We all look for you everywhere, every day because you were such a ball of energy and total love for all of your furry brothers and sisters, and especially for your mommy and daddy. We were so proud of the way you loved all the other dogs, and never fought for territory with our other boy. You always gave the best that you had, dear sweet baby boy.

Banjo, we know you always looked out for your sister, Bonbon, in a special way. She was so tiny, but always so active. We know you loved to swim in our pool, but she disliked it very much. We were not present when you passed to the Bridge, but Banjo, we truly believe that Bonbon fell into the cold deep water in the in-ground spa and that you jumped in to help your sister. We know that neither one of you could last long in the cold, cold water. We will never forgive ourselves for not fencing the area off, and although it's too late to save you, your brothers and sisters will benefit from a fenced pool/ spa off limits area and a nice big fenced yard to play in.

Our hearts break with missing you, dear Banjo. You were a mess!!! :)
Hugs,
Mommy and Daddy

Banjo adopted me. She originally belonged to another tenant in The building where I was living in 1993. During the Summer months when I would leave the back door open in my apartment, she began to wander in an check out my digs. She looked like she needed a meal and a good groom. I began to stalk cans of cat food for her visits which became more and more frequent, longer and longer. Once she became more nourished, I noticed that she was more well groomed. She was a gorgeous calico, and became great company as I lived alone then as I do now. She was with me from that period up until the sad day that I had to put her down. I will always miss my little buddy. I will always love her, and I am grateful for the time that we had together.

Tony DeNucci

A special dog with lots of personality!
We will miss you.

The Densmore Family and Grandma

Our dearly beloved Banjo:

Never was a cat more loved and treasured. The size of your heart belied the size of your body, our little tiger.

You were our last link to a much happier time of life. Thank you for all the comfort and love you gave to me and my boys.

Special thanks for sticking around to see Brett rejoin our family. He was truly delighted to see you once again. For a few moments, he was no longer an angry, young adult but the four year-old boy who picked you out.

You will always be loved and you will never be forgotten. Your paw prints will always remain in my heart. Good bye sweet Banjo.

Your adoring family.

Banjo April 1987 to March 17, 2007

The light of my life, my best friend. I know that you stayed as long as you could and are waiting for me on the other side, but it is so lonely here without you. I miss you!!

Michele Parker

My lovely boy you suffered so much and tried to stay with us. But we could see you were in so much pain,and you wanted to rest, so we had to part with you,that day you took my heart with you. Your heart is now mended but ours is taking much longer to heal,so rest until we all meet again and we will play all your favourite games once again. good night sweet prince,we love you xxx

Yvonne Turner

Bhrigha Murphy

THANK YOU BANSHEE BIRD FOR ALL THE JOY YOU BROUGHT TO ME THRU THE YEARS..YOU OPENED A WHOLE NEW WORLD TO ME AND I WILL FOREVER BE IN YOUR DEBT... FLY FREE MY LITTLE BANSHEE...MOMMA LOVES YOU.

This is for my friend Shari's cat, named Banzai.
Shari had to make the compassionate decision to humanely send Banzai to the Rainbow Bridge, because Banzai was suffering from kidney problems.
I remember Shari's favorite game with
Banzai was to play "race up the stairs" when it was time to go to bed.

JJ For Shari

My beautiful girlie, Barbi.
You went from me so quickly; I was not expecting your little heart to become so weak and take you so soon.
You were the best little dog and I miss you so much.
I'm so sorry your final moments were not the way I had hoped, and that you will forgive me; I did all the I could. I hope you are always near me; I think about you every day, so many times. I love you and will forever keep you in my heart.
I send you so many kisses to the other side.
Thank you for your love and the beautiful memories I have of you.
Forever, your Mommie Cindy.

Heaven got a very special dog angel today!!! We will always love you Barbie

Bye Bye my angel.
Love u always.

Hanna

Funny funny dog
It was supposed to be about what I could do for you
Not what you could do for me.
I didn't know I needed doing
until you did....

Darn you for stealing my heart
as wonderful as it's been
You've broken it now.
But I've been so loved

And I won't forget.

Funny funny dog
What a gift you've been to me
it's quiet now you're gone

But the lessons learned
live on.

Jo Van Tassel

Special is my beautiful baby, with eyes of liquid love, a delight for the senses and the soul.
She was ever the puppy, always cared for us, and played her part as a little bundle of love better than any one else could.
What a valiant fight she fought against adenocarcinoma; she never complained and she did not want to leave.
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jennifer Anne Sawicz (Athanasia), Katherine Sawicz, & Ted Sawicz

My pretty little Ti baby girl.

Kelly Atlas

JUST MY DOG

He is my other eyes that can see above
the clouds; my other ears that hear above
the winds. He is the part of me that can
reach out into the sea.

He has told me a thousand times over that
I am his reason for being: by the way he
rests against my leg; by the way he thumps
his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he
shows his hurt when I leave without taking him.
(I think it makes him sick with worry when he
is not along to care for me.)

When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, he is joy unbounded.
When I am a fool, he ignores it.
When I succeed, he brags.
Without him, I am only another man. With him,
I am all-powerful.
He is loyalty itself.
He has taught me the meaning of devotion.
With him, I know a secret comfort and a
private peace. He has brought me understanding
where before I was ignorant.
His head on my knee can heal my human hurts.
His presence by my side is protection against
my fears of dark and unknown things.
He has promised to wait for me...
henever...wherever--in case I need him.
And I expect I will--as I always have.

He is just my dog.

Lori Wicks

My beloved Barkley LeeRoy went peacefully Sat, Nov. 24, 2007.
He was truly MY BEST FRIEND.

He was born in PA (the blizzard of '94)
We both decided we saw enough snow in PA and headed south to FL.
He was the best first mate of my boat.
He also loved to jet ski!
He was truly a water dog.

His mother was a boxer and his father was a black lab..that's where the boxador breed came into play.

I will see you again my friend, my dear friend.
I will never forget you,
Mother

My home already seems so empty.
It has only been hours and it feels like days.
My stomach hurts.
I know Barkley is better now, but I still wish he could be here with me.
I've had him longer than my children and he was like a child.
I know time will make things easier, but I still will miss him everyday forever.

Heather Whetsell

We all will miss Barkley - always ready to go on adventures & loving to walk around the city.
I don't think there has ever been a happier Wire Fox Terrier........catching fish with Grandpa now...waiting to welcome all of us when we're ready to join....Oh, I would dance the loop..if only Barkley would....

Aunt Jackie

There never will be another Barkley. We loved him like a member of the family because that's what he was and always will be. We miss him so terribly and his memory will remain with us forever.

Rodney and Jolene Campbell

I miss you so much baby!You were my best friend.You'll always live on in my heart.

Paula

A wonderful beloved pet, friend and child to the Boozer household. He will be greatly missed!!

Sally McConkey

We love you and miss you more than words can say you will forever be in our hearts!!!
Memories of you will keep us happy until we meet again!!! To our precious dog, Barley,
From your loving family.

Barley you were the perfect little dog.I loved you so much.I will never forget going to the shelter and seeing you.Out of a room full of people you ran out of the back and jumped in my lap.I knew you were ment to be with me in that first moment I laid eyes on you.The only flaw you had was getting out and chasing cars.The day you died was the saddest day I had ever had in my young life.I think about you often and miss you very much.I'm so very sorry for the pain you felt before you passed away. My sweet boy know that if I could have spared you the pain I would have.Know too that I didn't have a choice in letting you go,there was no other way.I love you baby boy!

Jennifer Allen

You are our light, our strength, our joy, our hope, our reason to go on. You made our home so happy, so full of life, barking, talking in your incredible throat sounds of vocal range like I have never heard before, like singing a song. Your snoring even was comforting to our ears. Now it is quiet. Even your dog companion will not bark and all that is left is tears. But just for now. Soon there will be joyful noise again because you do not want us to be sad and we must honor your beautiful spirit. We love you Barley. Please play with all the furbabies that are with you and have fun until we see each other again.

Donna Alliston

Barlow was the sweetest, most loving pet I've ever known.
He was also very accident prone.
He had been shot in the shoulder by an in-humane person, bitten by a copperhead, attacked by a deer and that was just the beginning.
After everthing he had been through, he was still trusting and gave us an unconditional love, I've yet to find through any other means.
Unfortunately, someone was careless with some anti-freeze and it killed my dog.
I will never forget his little face.
There was nothing I could do to make him feel better.
After many days of treatment, his kidneys we not responding in a positive manner and we had no choice but to put him to sleep.
I can truely say, it was the worst day of my life.
I miss him terribly.
I think of him every minute of everyday.
I dream about him often.
He was a huge part of my life for a very long time.
He's always going to be with me in spirit, and in my heart.

Doug and Karen McCrory

My sweet little guy is at rest. It was his time.

He was the gentlest, friendliest, most devoted and at the same time, toughest little friend I've ever had. I made him mine when he was a kitten. It was shortly after a very difficult time in my life, and he stayed with me through many tough times that followed. He never complained about his, and there were quite a few of them that I went through with him. In return I was rewarded with his lasting affection and devotion. I will always remember this gallant little guy with love in my heart. Even though I miss him, I am happy he is mercifully relieved of his worldly burden.

Rest in peace my dear little friend...I will always love you.

Shifra Lawner

Our beloved Barney filled our hearts with joy for nearly 15 years.
He was a shelter puppy, whom we welcomed into our home on a snowy, December 7th morning.
We always felt it appropriate that he came to live with us on Pearl Harbor Day, as he was a terror!
With time, patience and love, we helped him to become the sweet, loving dog who protected us from strangers, and brought us his toys when we were sad.
With the support of his kind and wonderful vets, we made the gut-wrenching decision to put him to sleep when his dementia medication simply stopped working one day.
He was suffering terribly.
His day of passing was July 14 - Bastille Day - again, appropriate, because he was liberated from his suffering.
His death has left a gaping hole in our hearts and lives.
I added his name to our local Humane Society's Rainbow Bridge, and now add him here.
He will live in our hearts forever, and I will love him to the day I die and beyond.

Suzanne

PNG I am so sorry for your loss.

Vegas

Barney, we found in the woods half starved and with you little ear almost torn off.
For months you were scared of us, but after a time you became our protector.
When Daddy worked nights you were always on guard duty.
How you knew that it was your job to watch I'll never understand.
After 16 year; life just became to hard for you and we had to do the right thing and let you go.
I'll always love you and if I close my eyes I still see you setting on the hill, watching, keeping your family safe.
Mommy

Tuesday I lost by boy Barney to cancer.
His "sister" Betty and I really miss him.
I miss his loud meow he wanted to be fed or just wanted to be petted.
Although I miss him a lot, I will never forget his big beautiful light green eyes.

Charla Rodgers

Barney was part of my life for 8 years. It's been nearly a year ago that I lost him and I still think about him everyday. We had done everything we could for him but he was just too old. He was not in any pain, so we brought him home. He had one last lettuce leaf then curled up in my lap and fell asleep. I wrapped him in a blanket and held him until he passed away peacefully knowing how much he was loved.

I have 2 new babies now who I love with all my heart but nobody could ever take Barney's place in my heart. We shared so much together, he was a cheeky little character, full of fun and always getting into mischief. He was always there for a cuddle when I was sad and always there squeaking and jumping around when I came into the room.

I miss you so much Barney and I will never forget you. I know whoever is looking after you now is very lucky to have you and I know you will be making them just as happy as you made me.

Sleep tight little boy, I know I will see you again someday xxx

Kate

I hope my blessed baby is playing in green meadows with sunshine on his soft, gentle, loving face.
I miss him with all my heart, and think of him all the time.
I Love You BB

Amanda F

Beloved friend and companion for 17 years, Barney is missed each day. My world will never be the same without him. I know he and Bobbie await me at Rainbow Bridge and that we will one day be together again.

Rhonda Eversole

For Barney - Our "Forever Dog"

So many memories, but now there's just tears,
You were laughter and love, for just over nine years.
As a pup, you were playful, as a teenager wild,
But as an adult, our big baby who smiled.

You were always delightful; you would not be denied,
Your excitement tremendous, that you just couldn't hide.
So many memories, all the laughter and cheer,
But your life was too short, just over nine years.

You never won ribbons, Best of Breed, Best of Show,
But you were our Champion, we want you to know.
You were so filled with love, and devotion most true.
But the light has gone out, with the passing of you.

What will we do, now your light has gone out?
I cry!
I'm so angry!
I just want to shout!
So now that you've died, and your ashes we've claimed,
Though you're physically gone, in our hearts you'll remain.

On the mantle you rest, with your pictures and toys;
The house is so quiet, no barking, no noise.
The joy of your life, now replaced by our tears,
Yes, your life was too short, just over nine years.

In the past we've had dogs, that we've cared for and loved.
You're now all together, in that place up above.
Oh, there'll be more puppies to train and to love,
But you are the one; the best of them all.

Now there is sadness, our lives filled with pain,
We must live on without you, 'till we meet once again.
Sweet dreams our dear Barney, rest well on that ridge,
We'll come for you baby, as you wait at the "Bridge".

How we miss you, beautiful Barney
Our Forever Dog - 07/07/97 - 11/14/06

Michelle Schnapp

Dear Barney:
I miss you a whole bunch.
The house feels very empty without you here, lying in the green chair, sprawled out on a blanket on the family couch or on Ben and Dan's beds, since your
childhood buddies are married, living in Israel for 4 years and your other buddy has been away at college in NYC. There are lots of special memories during your youth.
I remember you running up and down the snowy hill in our backyard when Ben and Dan were sledding.
You were a real trooper when we took you camping when you were a puppy and stayed in your crate in the tent for 3 hours while we tubed down the river.
Thanks for always wanting to be with us where ever we went.
I remember you walking up the Cadillac mountain trail in Acadia National Park.
You loved to go in the car, from local grocery trips to many trips to the Bronx from Framingham, MA.
You were a suburb dog, so when we first went to NY for several times the trains and the loud ambulances, police cars and fire engines frightened you.
Yet you loved us and wanted to be with us that you eventually looked forward to those trips.
When we got to the Bronx, you would start getting excited and could not wait to get out.
Thank you for being there all the time.
I miss you dearly.
Your second Mom

Dear Barney, It's been one week since you left us.We miss you so much!Who would have thought a goat would bring so much joy and then so much sorrow.Your tetherball just hangs there as a reminder that you're gone.I hope you are getting all the raisins and bisuits you want, because you deserve them.We love you Barney, our silly Billy.
Love, Mommy, Daddy, Trishy and Charlie

BARNEY YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US AND IN OUR HEARTS....

YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN BY SO MANY PEOPLE.

YOU WERE SO SPECIAL.....

MISS YOU BOY

TO THE GREATEST FRIEND I EVER HAD

Wayne W Baikauskas

Barney i will miss you always. will never forget you.

Betty Karleskent

Hope you're happy and eating all the fresh tuna and drinking all the full fat milk you want - Pebbles is missing you baby and so are we

Anni and Carl

You didn't deserve this. I guess you were just too young to be afraid of cars. We miss you like you'll never know.. we all loved you so much!!!

Barney was our little baby we waited for years to get and finally we did on New Years' Day. He was the greatest way to start out the new year, bringing unimaginable joy to our lives. Today he escaped from the fence and we came home to find him dead on the road... We only got to be with him for little over a week. Although that doesn't seem long, we feel like we knew him so well.

We love you and miss you baby boy. We can't blame God for not wanting to share his perfect angel.

Jamie

Barney, Thank you for loving us with all your heart. The bond I had with you is far greater than with any human. You were always there when I needed you.
I miss kissing your fuzzy nose and rubbing your soft ears. I am sorry that the last couple of weeks were hard for you going to see Dr. Taylor. I just wanted to make everything better, but there were other plans for you. I hope you are playing ball and have a big chew-chew bone under your pillow. You are forever in my heart and I miss you more than you can imagine. Have fun and be good. I hope there are green pastures for you to run and play in beagle boy, until we meet again.
All my love and kisses forever...love mommy

Priscilla and Shawn Sheehan

I miss you my little boy.

Terri D

To my little girl, So long for now. I will see you at Rainbow Bridge. Daddy Loves You, and Thank You for all the wonderful memories you left for me.You were my special gift from Heaven.

Our baby boy will be missed forever! He was the best boy in the world. We will miss you in our king size bed that we bought especially for you so you could fit between Momma and Daddie. You will never be replaced our boy. There will never ba another Barn Barn!

Daddie(Mike) & Momma(Tammy)

My darling Barney, I will miss you so much! I loved you so much and still do!

From your Mummy

You where the best little boy and one day we will meet again.

He was my once-in-a-lifetime companion.
I know I will never have another like hom

Kelly Bauer

For Baron who was the best family dog for children that anyone could possible be.

Bruce Clement (Grandpa)

My handsome boy.
You came into my life when I didn't think I needed you or anyone else.
You showed me just how wrong I was.
I found out just how very bad I needed you.
You were my rock, my best friend, my love, my life.
You were taken from me long before I was ready to let go.
But God knew you had accomplished what you came here to do and knew it was time for you to return to his side.
You showed me what true love was and for that, I will forever be grateful.
Thank you for being my everything!
Godspeed my handsome boy.
Until we meet again.

Julie

We love him and miss him. He was our special friend

Dave & Beth Martinson

Barrie was a rock till the end.
She had been with me for 16 of her 17 years, and for the last several years needed meds for a thyroid condition (which she hated!).
She was a companion for Heather Eileen (who passed in 2001), and had a companion (Annie) who misses caring for her.
When her time came, I was about to take her to the vet to end the suffering (which mercifully was brief), but she saved me the trip....
She's buried (as is Heather) in a flower garden.
Annie has a new companion (QP - short for "quarter pint").

Michael J. Olah

Bart was a smart little kitty whom we named after Bart Simpson (for obvious reasons).
He could say "Mama" and "No".
He was a loving little kitty whose favorite pastime was gardening with Grandma.
He will be sorely missed by his whole family.
We loved you Bartie!

Debbie Grable

Bart,

You were a buddy and true companion. Your blue eyes and white fur made you unique. Thank you for the years you blessed our lives. You will be deeply missed.

Mike and Vickie Olson

Bart was large, tall, and muscular in his stance. He was a loyal companion.
He believed in me and spoke to me. Bart was also a talking cat and a jumping cat.
He could go anywhere and always announced information to us. He had a sculpted
composure, putting forth a cast into the distance like that of an eagle.
The symmetry in his mane was mezmerizing. Intricate buff rivulets down his mane down his back cast against a solid white outline. You have thought wings would soon sprout. I have never known such an animal, and who would have ever believed this was a cat?
He was always ready to protect me and to keep intruders at bay. He died of renal failure, but he fought the good fight in maintaining his dignity through the whole ordeal. I am so proud of him and how he earnestly extended himself beyond what he was. He truly worked to exceed his own existence. Always in my work, ready to point the way and eveb put me to bed.
Now I have put you to bed in a very calm way.
I chose you to be with me, and look how you have made be a better person.
This is your legacy my loving Bart.
I will love you forever.

Warren A Evans

Bart was our baby that we got from an animal rescue foundation in July 1999. We fell in love with him and he was our baby for 8 years. Bart was the most loving, loyal, fun and precious companion. We miss him so much that we hurt with pain. I would not trade not having Bart for the pain of losing him. He was one of a kind.

Sandy Ryan

We miss you very much!
We will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge!!

Harold and Joyce Funk

It wasn't until after your death, that I could hold you... I knew taking in a feral cat would have some drawbacks, I was pleasantly surprised by the joy I received. I can only hope that the comfort of my home was a relief to you. I was so happy to have you safe, well fed, and comfortable, even though it was just a few years. I will miss you.

Rhonda Magnotti

Bartie was an infant stray, dumped in the forest.
I caught him by putting wet food on a paperplate, putting a string thru it and, when he jumped on the plate to eat, I gently pulled the string, paperplate and Bartie closer to me until I could reach him.
For the rest of his life, he napped on my lap and slept every night snuggled up to me.
He moved with me 7 times and kept me sane during many traumas.
I miss him still and know that he's in a better place, waiting for me.

Robbie

My best friend Basa, forever loved, forever missed!XXX

BASHFUL DIED FROM THROAT CANCER AND SUFFERED FOR MANY MONTHS. SHE IS IN GODS HANDS NOW. PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR BASHFUL GOD. WE MISS HER TERRIBLY. PLEASE, LET HER KNOW WE WILL SEE HER AGAIN IN HEAVEN. WE ARE THANKFUL THAT SHE IS NO LONGER SICK AND SUFFERING.IT HAS BEEN VERY HARD TO LET GO. SHE WAS LIKE LOSING A CHILD AND WAS VERY HUMAN. WE THINK OF HER EVERYDAY. WE HOPE BASHFUL IS NOW MAKING NEW FRIENDS IN HEAVEN, AND WILL BE WAITING FOR US WAGGING HER TAIL AT HEAVENS GATE. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU BASHFUL. LOVE MOM AND DAD
P.S BASHFUL LOOKS LIKE THE LAB/MIX ON THE PEDIGREE COMMERCIAL. TAN IN COLOR WITH A BLACK MUZZLE.

Dawn Schramm and Mike Budd

Her name was Basia Kissel Cook. She was my best friend.
She was more than a dog.
She talked to me, she hugged me when I cried.
She guarded me till the bitter end.
She knew me probably better than anyone.
I know I will never find another friend like Basia. That pretty little face will be embedded in my heart and mind forever.
She was my sole mate. My little girl.
As I cry, her spirit is free. Free to run, bark and snuffle through food bags.
God she loved to eat!
Chicken might of been her favorite food.
Although, she did always love a good burger from a drive-through. She would get so excited when we would pull into the Carls Jr. parking lot.
I will never be the same without her.
I Love you Girl!
Wait for me..

Mia Kissel

To my dear Basil.
A North Lynn boy, with the heart of a lion.

Diane Baty

in memory of the best most brave cat in the world who passed over fighting to the end . Basil who was a male cat who purred eating, who miawed gently who didn't ask for anything except love which he had and who gave it back one hundredfold. I hope and pray he will be there at rainbow bridge, it will make my passing so much easier. I look forward with love in my heart to see him again. He will wait for me, we had a strong bond he is my baby as much as if I gave birth to him he was/is very very special to me. His spirit lives on in my heart and my soul. I love you Basil more than anyone can understand. Be at Peace and for now and wait for me, love and very kisses Mum

Carolyn

Basil its been 3 months since I had to make that hard decision. I still miss you so much I will always love you and you will be always close to my heart. what can I say except I am so sorry I had to let you go. I will see you one day I still look for you and sometimes see you out of the corner of my eye. Please come back to me in spirit if you haven't already. I never realised how much I would miss you. Who said animals are just pets for some of us they are our life. love you Bas and you know it. mum XXXC

The most loyal and comforting friend I ever had, I will miss your warmth and unconditional love.

Phyllis Dawkins

My precious boy,my shadow,I will miss you dearly!

You were so sweet to everyone,and so terribly handsome,my golden boy!Anna,Julie&Tyler grew up with you,what a wonderful friend you were to them as well.We will always think of you with fond memories
& we will love you forever!What an Angel you will make!

DruAnn Lovelly

Bat was my friend; she was loving, kind, and gentle.
She loved people (but could sound very fierce) and animal crackers.
She was the kind of dog I had always wanted--you know, the kind that was easy to love and not too demanding.
Taking her for her daily walks was a treat for her!
I had many dogs as a kid and one other great dog as an adult but never have I experienced the gentle, loving nature of Bat.
I am blessed for her having been in my life.

Sandra

Dear Batboy,
Thank you for all the wonderful memories you have given us.
We will miss your organ playing and your unusual style.
Though we miss you, we are glad that you are no longer suffering.
We will see you again before you know it.
Say hello to all the others for us.
I know your sister DirtyFace was very happy to see you again.
You were one of a kind.
We will never forget you.

Love,
Mike & Lucinda (and the rest of the beasties)

He came into our lives and enriched them with his presence. He was the best of cats. He loved to be held and we loved holding him. He was our little
"motorboat". He slept on our legs during the football games and on our heads at night. He will be remembered by many and was loved by all.
Rest in Peace Batman... Love Mom and Dad

For Batman, our shooting star with a brilliant and bright short life.
We love you.

Diane Oskins

I miss you Batty...I think of you all the time. You were such a brave, smart, little tiny guy sitting at the top of that big tree. You were just like a little bat up there. All of your family misses you, and Ethel is so sad that she never knew you. I'll see you again someday....little black Terrius

Rosanne

Bawlbag, our friend and companion, we were only together a few short years. You came to us as a stray in Arizona and since that time you brought us so much joy and happiness you surly will be missed. Rest in peace and till we meet again. We love you.

Dean Cotelidis

Baxter you were a wonderful dog taken too soon.
I was not prepared for you leaving us.
You never acted sick and I can only hope you weren't hiding any pain the cancer may have caused.
I still question how my beautiful baby could be so full of life one day and gone four days later.
I miss you every day.
Hopefully you have found your way to Bartles and the two of you are clowning around once again.
You will always have a special place in my heart.
Love ya Bax.

Stacey Miller

I can close my eyes and see my sweet puppy romping and racing around the green fields of heaven.
His ears are flopping in the breeze and he has a smile on his face.
I'm not there to call him back, or walk him on a leash, he is now on his own to do as he pleases.
Baxter was a true and wonderful friend and companion.
I love him very much and will think about him every day until I see him again and get to stroke his soft nose.
He was my companion through the roughest part of my life, and stayed by my side when noone else was there.
He kept me safe when I was alone, and he stayed close by whenever we were together.

Baxter, wherever you are right now, imagine me kissing you on your nose and giving you lots of loves.
Our home is empty without you.
You are forever my "P.O.S." and I love you very much.
Missing you.

C. Potter

Baxter was a special dog. Even thoughh we only had him for 2 months, we loved him so much. He immediately took to our family. Our 4 kids loved him more than anything. Every day we would go for walks and play in the yard.
He loved to cuddle at bedtime. He would lay down with a different child of mine at night til they fell asleep ,then come lay down in my bed.
We miss him dearly.

Susan Hernandez

If people were as loving and forgiving as my Baxter Boy, this world would finally be at peace!

Sharon, Susan, Little One, Boy, Peanut, Gizmo, Chester, and Levi

He was a shy and humble, loving, sweet guy. He made us laugh and always feel loved. He'll be so missed by us. I think of you daily "battle-axe"...I know your no longer in pain, however, we are now...without you. Milo and Madyson are still searching for you. I love you and you'll have a very special place in my heart always. Thank you for blessing my life with all the love you had for as long as you did. I know one day I'll get to see and pet you again. I LOVE YOU MY BIG MAN!

Megan, Mike & Kenzie Martin

It was a hard day today to say goodbye to a good little fellow. You had so much pain and I couldn't let you suffer. The six years we had you you gave us a lot of happiness. You are at peace now. Love you always.
Mom

My Dear Baby Baxter,
It has been very difficult these last few days without you.

I am constantly reaching for you, listening for your paws, aching to feel you in my arms.

I knew the first time that I saw you that you were full of life.
I watched you eagerly investigate the world, running here and there on large floopy paws that foretold the size of dog you would one day grow to be.
I was so happy when you officiallly became Baxter Vargas.

The initial dayas of "puppydom" were full of love and play.
We shared our world with you and couldn't wait for you to be a part of it.
We began to establish the very routines that I cry for today.

I was so proud of what a good dog you were Baxter.
You were so sweet and loving.
I remember how you watched over Cassie while she slept and how you never left my side when I was so sick.
You loved playing with the kids and being part of the fun.
If dogs could laugh like humans, yours would have been a deep belly laugh!

Boy, were you smart!
If I was a better trainer, I know that you could have learned even more tricks and commands.
You had a quick wit and solved problems that you encountered, such as how to get the string cheese from your Girl!

I hope that where you are you can do all the things you like: chew bones, steal my socks, and play with toys.
I hope that there is a green field for you to run in.
I loved watching you run.
You ran like a thoroughbred horse, with your legs pounding the earth while zippy by me with an honest to goodness smile on your face.

I regret that I was not there for you when you left this world.
I cry that you might have been scared and pray that you weren't.

I also hope that we you sleep at night that you can still feel me beside you.
I wish that you still feel all the kisses I gave you each night before falling asleep.

I want you to know that I loved you very much.
I miss you.

Please be happy were you are.....I would never want you to be sad.
Please remember me, I will always be in love with you.

Rhonda

My Dearest Sarah,
I watched you suffer for 3 weeks.
I whispered in your ear last night before you passed- " I am letting you go Sarah. You can go now. You did your job. Go in Peace. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU." And you did.

I found you at the bottom of the staircase this morning laying down. I put my hand on your chest and felt your last heart beat.

You did not die alone. I was there with you. Peacefully you went.

Your now free of your pain and you can eat again. As much as you want.

You can jump and play.

You can run through the green grass with your buddy Max once again. He has been waiting for you.

GOD has choosen you, Sarah, my special friend to be with him.

I will miss the mornings with you, when you entertained me before I went to work with your BIG RED BALL. Balancing yourself with those big paws as I drank my coffee. I will miss all your silly ways.You always put a smile on my face.

I will miss your greetings.

I will miss you sleeping at my bedside.

I will miss your nudges with your wet nose to wake me up.

I will miss your big brown eyes and how you looked at me and how you slobbered on my leg.

I will miss your unconditional love. I could never do no wrong.

I will miss your loyalty.

And how you watched over Nicholas, Shannon and Madison. You were such a great dog.

How you scared people away from the kids because your bark was worse than your bite.

You kept us all protected.

Your Dad Eddie, will miss bringing you on hikes and to the water, even though you could not swim.

You were there through all of the hard times, even my divorce. You stayed by my side every night that I cried.

You let Nicholas ride your back and you never complained.

You let Shannon dress you up in princess outfits and Halloween clothes. Even her clothes ended up on you!

You let Madison slide down your back and jump on you like a jungle gym.

You were the BEST ROTTWIELER we ever had and you lived up to the name in everyway!

Sarah, my friend, You are free again!!!
Heven awaits you.

I will miss you everyday, You will always be in our hearts. Until we meet again.

Love you always,
Your Mom Jen, Dad Eddie, Brother Nick, and your Sisters Shannon and Madison

Bayden was my first pet I had as an adult...he was the kindest, most loving guy, always looking for a snuggle. I will miss his bright little face and sweet ways. Rest in peace, Baycat.

Sarah Jones

LITTLE BAYER I LOVE YOU SO.
THE DAY HAS COME TO LET YOU GO.
UP TO THE HEAVENS WHERE YOU BLEONG.
YOU WERE MOMMIES ANGEL ALONG.

NO MORE CLOUDY EYES.
NO MORE PAIN.
NO MORE MUFFLED EARS.
THE DAY THE ANGELS CAME.

THE PAIN IN MY HEART FOR YOU IS REAL.
IT LEFT A GAP NO ONE CAN FILL.

UNTIL WE MET AGAIN MY FRIEND.
I WILL MISS YOU UNTIL THE END.

YOU WERE THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD.
LOVE YOU ALWAYS, MOMMY.

Now we are left with memories to keep us strong as we forge through these days without you. We miss your barks and your growls. We miss you under our feet and and under our charis as we would eat. We miss your sweet kisses when we would cry and your desire to protect this family from everything.
Oh sweet girl, we have cried and we will continue to cry.
We hope you soar free and find peace.
We love you little beggar boo ba.

Mary, Jason, Maya, and Zoe

Bayley was my first pet. He was totally and completely loyal and gave unconditional love. I apopted him at about 9 months old from a local shelter, well he chose me by pawing and crying to me in his kennel. Bayley, I will love you FOREVER!
My Honey Bo Bunny and life-long friend.

Shauna

My brave boy, Sibby's brother who faded so fast last week.
The special link with you will never be broken, because I hold memories of you in my heart.
Sleep tight darling boy.

Kate and Sibby

BB came to me two years ago, he was 11 , his former owner was ill and could not take care of him anymore.
I do Old English Sheepdog rescue and since he was a senior I knew I could not find him a home, so I adopted him.
This is the best thing I have ever done.
BB was such a sweet boy and such a love.
My cuddle baby, oh he is missed so much. He had cancer and fought a good fight, but in the end he lost and I had to let him go because I loved him to much to see him in pain.
Bye sweet boy, have fun at the Bridge with your siblings that went before you.
We will meet again.
Love
Your other mom and your siblings
Sara Catherine and Marlowe

BBLui, I wish you rest in peace.
You're always in my heart, I love you not matter not.

Kannis

BC, the original black cat, I miss you sleeping on my head at night and waking me up each morning.
Shadow joined you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge today and I know you are there with him, my beautiful baby.

Celeste Rubanick

BC cat you will always be loved & missed even more for my heart is heavy & my eyes are filled with tears I will always cherish the memories in the time we shared.

JudyKay

THE JOY YOU BROUGHT TO OUR LIVES WILL NEVER FORGOTTEN..YOU WILL BE MISS AND LOVED UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN..

Milo & Renee

She was my Baby, I'll miss her so much.

Kathy & Frank

Goodbye to my best friend, Beaches, who has been with me almost 18 years, from the time she was 6 weeks old, through the death of one of my sons, retirement, moving, and much more.
I already miss her more than I can say.
She shall always be with me in my heart.

Sandy Greenwood

You were loved by us for many years, but your memory will be immortal in our hearts.Bye-bye sweet girl.

Leslie and Heather Stuart

Beammer you are my heart dog and will always have my heart.

Chris Ros

I love you so much.
You were my first baby. You were so young and I'm so sorry.
I know you are ok now at Rainbow Bridge. Run as fast as you can, chase the squirrels.
You were such a snuggler and I miss you at night.
Keep others warm who are scared.
You mom's with you always and I will see you again.
I love you teeny beanie.
kim

Beanie, we rode up to New York State to get you so many years ago, and you were worth the trip. You won over our hearts the minute we saw you, and even though you were not a puppy, it didn't matter to us. Not many people knew what a PBGV was, but we did, and we loved you dearly. Even though you were mischievous, we couldn't help but laugh at your antics, and how you clowned around, playing our other dogs. You brought enjoyment to our lives for 13 years, and we were devastated when you passed away. We'll never forget you "Short Legs"!
Love, Mommy Gail, Daddy Jack and Colleen.

We will miss you very much Beanie Babie.

Patty Greco and Mitchell Janoff

Dear Beanz,

Thank you for the joy you have brought our family. We will love you and cherish your preciousness in our hearts forever. May you rest in peace.

Loving you,
Your family

p.s- Sumo misses you too.

We were blessed to have met you baby Beans!
You are missed!

Linda

Loved Bear,,I miss you so much. You were one of the nicest dogs I've ever had as a family member.
The 14 years you were with me went by to quickly. We'll meet again. Love you.
Mom

Bear was my other baby, I named him Bear because when he was a baby he looked just like a little polar bear. I never knew losing a pet could hurt so much!

Angie Allen

We love and miss you more than you will ever know, you were our "son" and we are having such a hard time with the pain of losing you.
We love you always, Mommy and Daddy.

i love you bear

Cathy

Bear, what can I say.
You were a dog that was abused as a puppy and tore our house apart but all you needed was love.
With love and care and understanding what you went through you grew to be a beautiful dog. You were so good with the cats even though they love to tease you.
You knew if someone did not like you but you did not care.
Even though I took care of you and you were with me most; Daddy was the man.
I know you loved us both.
You liked staying inside the house and was not a morning person.
You brought us so much happiness, more than you will even know.
You died shortly after your 14th birthday.
We all miss you so much but we will see again and you are will Lady running and playing without pain.
Love and miss you. Mommy and Daddy

Bear. How I miss you. It was so difficult to learn of your condition when I was over 2,000 miles away and you were with my very kind dog sitter.
I had to make peace with letting you go, when I couldn't see you one last time. Coming into my house with you no longer there was one of the most difficult moments I've ever gone through. Although I still miss you very much, and have a new yellow lab, purchased years later, I have wonderful memories of you, and you'll always be in my heart. I'm glad that you touched my life for 11 years, there'll never be another "bear" for me.

Carol Mandras

Bear,
You gave me a reason to not give up. What you did for Grampy when he was dieing I will never forget. Mama misses you and Bucca keeps looking for you to come over her house. I hope you are at PEACE now. But I keep thinking I did the wrong thing. You kept springing back when you were sick, but this time when I carried you in the house I knew it was your time. I will see you soon, and please give Grampy a kiss for me. I miss you so much. You were so sick. I'll NEVER forget you. I know you will like WINDSTAR.
LOVE and PEACE,
DADDY

Bear you were my best friend for 11 years & will always be in my heart & thoughts. You were so gentle but strong & faught your bone cancer for 6 months. I miss you more & more everyday.
I keep your ashes next to my bed & talk to you all the time - you will never be far from me Bear.
The holidays are coming & I dont know how to handle them without you. You loved the turkey at Thanksgiving & the Prime Rib at xmas. What will I do with your stocking & the ornaments with your name on them. I miss you so much & would give anything to get you back !!
I will miss taking you to Maine swimming in the ocean & for walks & rides !!!!

Love you forever,
Mom

You will never be forgotten. We love and miss you.

Eric & Dyan Eisenbeis

When a pregnant feral cat showed up on my doorstep, she was giving birth. Bear was the first born, right on the sidewalk. We had tried many times to befriend the mother cat, but she never came within 3 feet of us. When she began giving birth, she looks so confused and helpless. I got a box and a blanket and a safe spot under the house and proceeded to help deliver 7 beautiful kittens. She looked at me with so much love and gratitude. We eventually moved the whole brood into the house and after finding loving homes for four of the babies, we kept the mother, and three of the offspring.
When Bear first opened his eyes, all he saw was a loving family gathered around. He was the peacemaker, the alpha male. My husband and I have a recording studio. Bear was always the first at the door to greet friends and clients. He was a prominant figure on stage, not a shy bone in his body.He was the one to mediate squabbles between his siblings. He was my self appointed guardian...and was the loving protector of everyone within his domain.
He suffered a severe blood clot that paralyzed his in a matter of minutes. It happened so quick.We were so horrified and shocked.We rushed him to his vet, who adored him. When he was put to sleep, he wss surrounded by people who loved him.
Last night, after his burial, two bands came together to "play out" a tribute for him. So many were touched by him. Even the hard core melted under his gentle attention, the void here is so large. Bear was more than a companion, or a mascot, or the leader of a beautiful tribe of cats. He was more than a friend, he was our muse, our family, our heart. We will always love you, Bear, we will always miss you. And if there is an afterlife, I hope you're the first one to meet me at the gate.

Pam Montgomery

Bear was my best friend.
He was there whenever i needed someone to talk to or just hug or kiss.
He always made friends so easily, most people were scared of him at first because of his size but once they got to know him they loved him.
He was the best snuggle bunny ever, and was always ready to take a nap.
I miss him so much, and just want to hug him again.

Jennifer

To my Bear Bear, I have never known a more gentle and joyful soul.
Your zest for life and your playfulness was something to be admired. Your light always burned a little brighter and now it's gone. I am so sorry that we couldn't cure you of the D.M. and Cancer, I only hope I didn't wait to long to set your spirit free.
Archie (Gsd) Sadie(cat) myself , your dad, and Pam our healing angel miss you terribly.

Sarah Dickerson

Rest in peace.
I miss you.

Teresa

Bear was a dear friend and a protective spirit.
He was there for me through some of the hardest times of my life, always guarding my body, and my soul, from the things I feared the most.
He made me feel safe.
He made me feel honored to be his person.
He knew before I did that I was in a relationship that made me miserable.
When I lacked the strength to leave the relationship behind, Bear stepped in and gave me the gift of courage, courage to step up and say "enough".
I mourn his passing, but know his protective spirit will be with me always.
Dearest Bear Bear, when you breathed your last breath in my arms and left this world, a part of me went with you.
My big, strong dog, I'll be with you at the Rainbow Bridge one day.
Until then, watch over me and my furry ones who went before you (Peanuts, Captain, Patches, Mignight, Annie, Taz, Sonja, and AlleyKat).
I will always love and miss you, my Bear Dog.

Claire Coco

Bear, we love you so much! You are now out of pain. Run, jump, play and be free! Eat all the bisquits and food that you want...nothing can hurt you now. Your passing leaves a hole in our universe. Until we see you again, Mom, Dad, Zues, Jack and your special cat, Naya (she misses her daily tounge bath!)

Bonnie

To my first born, my baby, daddy, papa, honey, sugarlips, sweetcheeks, coly, colitas, skinny boy-I miss you, I love you forever.
Be happy now honey. You were and always will be my best friend. One day we will be together again.
I will greet you with endless kisses. Until then, know I love you forever.

Monika Luna

On Thursday my beloved Bear died. On that die a part of me and my Husband Clay died as well. We will always love Bear and forever miss him. People tell me God had other plans for Bear but I still do not understand how he could take him from us as he was so loved and needed. We love you Bear and will miss you until we meet again someday.

Love Mom and Dad

Bear was a good dog, she was with me my whole life until I was 10. She always watched out for me, and I hope she knows she is missed terribly. One day I hope to revisit her in heaven.

Becca

You were poppa's boy.You were a good boy.Always by my side.You sure loved your leathers.I hope you have one to chew on while you wait.Someday I hope to be with you again.We all miss you so much.You went so suddenly I'm sure you felt no pain.It's only been one day.But we will always miss you.So be a good boy Bear Bear.And one day we will meet again.Oh AND STAY OUT OF THE CAT FOOD!!!! So long Buddy Bear.

Barney Willard

Bear we really missed you. Your in Heaven now and
no pain. Damian and you will be together now.
Love you. Mummy

Bear you were our JOY!
You were always there with a lick and a nudge to be petted, letting us know you cared.
You were so careful and loving to all the children.
I truly hope there is a doggy heaven for you to run and play with other dogs.

Tami Bauer and Family

On August 11th, 2007, Bear was hit by a car and killed.
He was the best cat a person could have ever asked for and he will be horribly missed by my family and our other cats.
My life was richer and more joyous with him in it and I will always be grateful for thw two years I was lucky enough to have known and loved him.

RIP you big goof.
You were loved dearly.

Megan Caito

My protector!

Colleen Long

I had to help Bear to pass on today because he was just too ill to survive and he was suffering.
He was a wonderful dog and we had him since he was 6 weeks old.
I have his 2 sons and he was a fantastic dad to them...even to the day that he passed on, always washing them and caring for them.
Bear was unique in that he understood what you felt and knew what was needed to make you feel better.
My grandaughter Trini loved him dearly and will miss him.
He always wanted belly rubs from her and because of him, she hopes to one day become a vet and take care of sick animals.
I hope God looks after my Bear until we can be together again...Lord knows I love him and miss him.

Linda Collins

You have been a great friend and loved your Daddy so.
Who will I share my Pop-Tarts and Doritoes with?
Meet up with Baby, I know she's waiting, and make sure you share her baby-toy, don't keep it from her like you used to.
We love you and miss you always!

Shauna, Kevin, Taylor, Jojo, Jucie, Molly, Callie, Mary Kate, Ashley, Bailey and Cami

Bear was my wonderful, handsome companion for almost 13 years. He was my best friend, my protector, and I miss him so much.
I want him to know how much I miss him and how I wish he could have stayed with me forever.
I love you, Bear.
Forever and ever, till we meet again.
Love, Mommy

Bear was a very beloved dog, brought home as just a pup, a small bundle of black furry joy.
He especially loved to play ball, fetch it for you and quiver with anticipation until you threw it for him to chase.
His master, Bart, trained him to go hunting and he loved the water.
He was a special member of the Black family and as children were added, he became a part of their lives as well.
He was a very gentle dog and would come to stay with his aunt Melanie and her girls (all canine).
His little friend, Nikki, adopted by Melanie the same year that Bart brought him home, will miss her big pal and the fun they had playing ball together.
We love and miss you Bear and wait for the day we can see you, happy and healthy, bringing us that tennis ball, again.

With sadness

Aunt Mel

AKITA PRIDE, THERE IS NOTHING LIKE AKITA PRIDE

Ryan and Katie Gleason

Bear was a good old boy.
He didn't know how to play when we first got him as a rescue but he learned quickly.
Bear was a loving guy who wanted only to please.
So gentle with people young and old.
He joins his sister Kita who went to the bridge in March 2007.
Bear your passing leaves a empty space in our hearts but you are now pain free and romping with Kita.
So long big guy. We thank you for your unconditional devotion and love.

Carl Milliken

Miss you lot's Bear after your long illness. All my Love.

Ivor Timson

Bear was loyal, loving and my companion through difficult times...he was a steady source of love I will always miss and never forget.
I hope he is pain-free now and swimming up a storm in dog heaven.
I send him big hugs.

Lynda

Miss you so much Bear. I love you so much. Please be there when I come home. All my love forever in eternity with my precious Lord, Saviour and our Creator Jesus Christwho loves us so very much

Carol Ann Sitler

He was loyal and gentle. He was a great leader and teacher to our younger dog. Visitors to our home were immediately drawn to his great attitude. Everyone remarked "He is sooo soft!"
He was the most lovable, playful, and just plain "cool" dog. And our best friend.

Teri Williams and Tom Johnson

I WILL MISS YOU "BEAR GIRL" AND SO WILL DAD. YOU FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT-BUT IT WAS YOUR TIME TO JOIN "MIKEY" AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE-DAD AND I WILL LOOK FOR YOU ALL THERE SOMEDAY-TIL THEN WE WILL REMEMBER YOUR FAITHFULNESS AND LOVE OF US-YOUR HOME AND YOUR FRIENDS-SPARKLE AND DIAMOND.WE LOVE YOU.

MOM & DAD

You left me this morning and I am lost. For almost seven years you slept with Mommy every night.

You were such a joy and can never be replaced.
I am crying still tonight and will be for days.
I know you are no longer suffering and that makes me feel better.
I will see you again my Bear at the Rainbow Bridge someday.
I love you,
Mommy

Bear was a wonderful cat and will be missed.
He was always wanting to go outside to bring me yet another present.
I got him before I was even married and he has been with me through lots of moves and three children and different dogs and a few cats.
He always has been with me.
Now he is gone and I miss him so very much.
I did not know that it would hurt this much.
But it does.
Goodbye Bear I will miss you.
Nothing will replace this hole you left.
I love you.
Me

Thanks, USA Defenders of Greyhounds, for allowing us to be the family of such wonderful and loving couch potatoes!!
Moose, Bear, & Daisy will always be remembered by everyone who knew our family.

Bear, 01/19/07

Not a day goes by that I don't miss you Bear.
I think about all your silly antics and the joy that you brought to my life for 16 years.

I love you and miss you.
Please know that you will always be in my heart and my mind.

Love mommy

You were my baby boy and I loved you very much. You gave me so much happiness and you really were my boyfriend. I'll never forget how you followed me everyplace and it was so much fun hiding as you ran through the house looking for me.
I'll love you and miss you forever.

Jill

Our Bear is missed everyday, she is and was the best. She watched over the boys, even when she was so sick and could barely go on, it's like she would not give up. We miss her so much. We love you our girl and you are never forgotten. Love your Family....

Joe, Jennifer, Josh, Jeramiah

Sweetie, from the moment I first saw you I knew we were meant to be together. You waddled right over to me and put your head in my lap.I fell in love with you that day and will never stop loving you. You have been my best friend, protector and strength the past ten years. The house is so empty without you. I keep looking for you everywhere. I miss my sweet little angel so much. I even miss your snoring and slobbering. You fought so hard to stay here with me. You took a piece of my heart with you when you left. You were the best dog and I'll never get over losing you. I hope you're playing and eating a lot of treats. Please wait for me sweetie and be a good girl. I'll see you again someday. Love you monkey, Mommy

BABY BEAR PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE A LOVED PUP

Kevin

I love you and always will Bear. Don't forget about how much your family still loves you!

Jessica

Bear was our friend. He was our protector and our buddy. He was kind hearted and loving. He took care of our cats. He loved all the other animals in the house. He was calm and friendly. We loved him so much. He passed on quietly in his sleep. He never complained. We never knew he was ill. Things will never be the same. Our hearts will always have an empty spot.
He came to us in a snowstorm in 1999 and my fiance rescued him from the cold. We have never learned where he came from and now he has disappeared. He was a little angel. A little piece of heaven and he will live in our hearts always.

Francie Cully

I will forever love you my sweet sweet pupp Bear, you knew how to console meand snuggle when I was sad, just the sight of you made my days brighter.
Love you and miss you Bear Poo

Only the good die young

Douglas and Carol

Good, loving, big ol' wonderful dog. He was so peaceful that my infant girl played with him and was in no danger at all despite the fact that he could almost fit her in his giant mouth. He was a gift from my sisters to my dad and me for his birthday and my high school graduation.

Eric

He was a great dog and friend!

Joseph

My dearest Bear,
From the moment we met, I knew you were my best boy.
I remember holding you and thinking that no matter how long we had together, it would not be long enough.
You were the most beautiful dog.
You loved to hear me laugh, and you kept me smiling.
Tragedy took you from me too soon.
The grass is not as green, the sky is not as blue, the air is not as crisp and clean as when I shared life with you.
You will be forever in my heart and on my mind.
Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge, I will love you always.
Mom

A little angel visited us for a short time. Then he was called home.Your paws left prints on our hearts. We miss you bear.

Russell Haigy

He has gone to be with his two sisters, ... he missed little Sassy so much, (as we do, too.) and never got over losing her.
Hope they are all waiting for us at the Bridge.

Terry and Wilma Murray

Bear,

Our sweet, precious, tiny "Beariff"; we loved you from the moment we met you.
Our lives would not have been the same had we not known you. The fact you were in our life at all has made it richer and I am forever grateful for the time we had.
You and Semper are the best of friends and the only comfort I have is knowing that you two went to Rainbow Bridge together.

Christmas wasn't the same without you. :-(

We miss you every minute of each day.
You and Semper take care of each other.

We will see you again someday!

We love you!!!

Michele & Cody

Thank you Lord for letting us have our Bear
He was very faithful, loyal and protective.
We miss him very much and look forward to seeing him at the rainbow bridge.

David & Lou Ann Bettler

Bear-Bear was a sweet old dog who came to me old and sick from the shelter. Although he was only able to stay with me for four years, I'll never forget him. Bear-Bear was strong for a sickly dog, but eventually time won and his little body wore out. I miss you, my little old man.

Ashley Blalock

Bear Bear, I miss you more than anything.
You were my life.
I still expect to see you everyday.
My mind can't comprehend the fact that you're gone.
Please forgive me for every mean thing I may have said or done to you...including sometimes ignoring you in your times of need.
I love you now as much as I did when you were with me.
You're my baby.
I love you.
Love,
Momma

We love you Bear and you will be inour hearts forever.

Laurie & Christopher

To our best friend who was so very smart and even more brave in the face of cancer we miss you so very much!
Our love will never die or our memories with you.
You were one of a kind and our best friend, so sweet to everyone and life here is hard living without you.
I know your are playing at the Rainbow Bridge with Kiska and Alex right now... I only pray you knew how much we loved you when I had to send you there today and that your daddy in Iraq misses you with all his heart!
Mom, Dad and Hunter love you forever Bear Bear - thank you all the love you gave us for the past (almost) 12 years!

Dale, Tanya and Hunter Kosobud

Dear Bear Bear,
We did everything possible to save you baby.
I hope that you are not upset with us.
You were an absolute joy and made us smile evryday for the past five months.
I have never looked more forward to coming home from work.
I hope that you are not in pain and that you are running, jumping, and playing like before.
Please know that you will be missed and my heart is broken that you are gone.
I will be thinking about you each and every day buddy.
Go find Grandpa Tootsie, he will be looking for you to take care of you until we can again.

I am so sorry Bear Bear, I wish I could hold you. Mommy and Daddy love you, our little man.

Tia Marie

BearBear, thank you for letting us into your world.
It has been a beautiful world for over a decade.
Now there are empty places where you used to lie, play, talk, howl, and bark.
Thank you for being our grizzly bear, teddy bear, rathead, contortion artist, monsterhead, beauty queen, protector, wolf, tasmanian devil dog, footwarmer, alarm clock, dish washer and best friend over all humans.
One of our greatest pleasures was giving you the last bite of every meal and letting you lick our plates.
We will always remember tummy rubs, your warm Chow head, kisses in that space between your eyes, cold wet nose kisses, and warm dry nose kisses.
Thank you for allowing Momma to always hug you way too tightly.
Thank you for growl-eating when Momma and Daddy teased you by putting our hands too close to your food.
Thank you for all of your Bear kisses and lip snarls.
Thank you for talking to us and loudly whenever we arrived home.
Thank you for howling with fire engine sirens and ice cream truck music.
We shared a sofa for many years – your corner is still reserved for you with your blanket.
We will miss all the Christmas holidays where you opened your presents in a strangely human way.
The carpet at the top of the stairs where you made scratch marks to nest in will never be vacuum-smoothed-over by Daddy.
You ran free in Garrett Park over 2000 times.
We spread your ashes there so that you can roam free forever.
Momma and Daddy love you and miss you so much, baby BearBear.

Bear Boy came to us as a tiny ball of brown fur. Big paws told us he would be a big dog.
He came from our neighbor's.
Always afraid of storms having been in one as a pup where 1 pup was lost.
His mom got each of the pups to safety on the porch,but 1 didn't make it.
BearBoy had a courageous,brave, loving heart.
He got between Doug and a water moccasin and got bit himself.
Always watchful of his home and family.
Enjoyed chasin' squirrels, and cats.
He loved my son Joe, and his girl friends girls Tori and Johnnie.
Especially Johnnie.
They had a special friendship.
We will miss him and our house will be empty as we grieve him.
He leaves behind, two friends, Perry and Dutchess.
Three bird friends.
Bird, Angel and Noel.
Christmas won't be the same as he used to get after us to hurry to open the presents.
This was his favorite part.
Presents, and the ham.
Bear fathered a litter of pups.
Very pretty healthy pups.
Always by our sides when we were sick.
Helping me up when the arthritis in my knees was bad.
I wish dear friend there was more I could do for you.
I love you BearBoy.
Forever and Always

Cindy & Doug Clifton

I don't have any experience in writing a tribute. I only know that I want to write about my Bear, so that it doesn't seem as though he's simply gone. Gone as though he never was. He lived 11 years and my life with him was made better because of having him.

I met Bear when I moved into my apartment community seven years ago. He was 4 1/2 years old. The moment I saw him, I loved him. His owner and "Dad", Mr. Shelton, loved Bear very much, but he was a sick, elderly man. When he passed away the following March, I did not hesitate to accept him into my home, as Mr. S's daughter was too ill to take Bear. Immediately, it seemed as though we were meant to be together.

Bear was an extraordinary dog. He never pulled a child from a burning building, and he didn't do "tricks". However, he had a gift. Every person who ever met Bear loved him instantly, and he loved everyone--especially my sisters, Mom, nieces and nephews.

It was more than the fact that he was well-behaved; he certainly was that. I could leave a plate of food sitting on a low table and leave the room knowing that Bear would never touch it without permission. He had one weakness: Bear was prone to digging in the garbage in search of discarded chicken bones. Chicken was his favorite food. It was that Bear had a sweetness and patience of character that showed in his gentle, intelligent brown eyes. He never snapped at anyone, no matter how poorly he felt or how trying some folks were towards him. He would simply sigh and excuse bad behavior.

Bear always seemed to know how I felt, when I most needed his love and comfort. He was a huge dog--100 pounds. He was just like a big, soft teddy bear. He would give me his paw, lick my face and allow me to put my arms around him and cry on so many occasions. We were inseparable. He was so patient with me during the school year when I'd come home from work, only to jump on the computer and work longer hours into the night. Some days, I am ashamed to say, I came home and just fed him, walked him briefly and said "hello" before getting to work, when he wanted my undivided attention. Still, he was patient.
We had a good summer together. I worked part time, had a friend from Europe stay with me and meet Bear for the first time. He fell in love with my baby, as everyone did. Bear brightened the lives of everyone who lived in my apartment community, and they are as pained as I am to lose him.

Bear passed away during surgery to treat liver cancer. It all happened so quickly, for he showed no symptoms until less than a week before his death. I was able to say goodbye to him and be with him the day prior to the surgery. Although he was quite tired and not feeling well, Bear was his usual loving, cheerful, eager-to-please self. He wagged his thick, heavy tail in delight at seeing his family and kissed us. I'm grateful that this is how I'll always remember him, instead of laboriously gasping his last breaths in pain or in a medicated stupor. He did not deserve that kind of end to his noble life.

I miss him. I'm angry that he's gone, and I am alone again. Six years seemed too short a time with him. However, I realize that it would not matter how much time we had; it would never be enough, and Bear's leaving could never be easy.

So, I guess I just want readers to know that Bear was a special dog. He was like my child, and there are no words to adequately describe how I loved him and how he will be missed by so many besides me.

Thank-you, my Bearbe, for having been the sweetest, most gentle and loving friend, and filling an emptiness I didn't know I had until you came to me, and now again that you've left. Wherever your soul resides, it must be a good place.

Kimberly Breese

Bear was a devoted, loving member of our family for 14 years.
If I never have another dog again, I will be content with the memories of this special dog I did have.

RIP, Bear

ODE TO BEAR DOG

Best dog in the world, and he came our way.
We could see from the start, he was planning to stay.

Sweet and smart, and a watchdog was he;
No one ever guessed he’d never hurt a flea.

He’d be on the porch or running to meet us
Out on the driveway, to welcome and greet us.

Trips on the 4-wheeler he just loved to take,
He’d follow along--take a swim in the lake.

He was my protector wherever I’d go,
Daytime or night time, his love he did show.

He came to us trained; he knew lots of tricks,
“Sit!” “Speak!” “Shake hands!”
He’d do quite a mix!

He kept on trying, as long as he could,
But then one day, he moved to the wood.

We didn’t know why, unless ‘twas to spare us
From seeing him struggle, and maybe prepare us.

For that sad day when he’d have to leave
To never return, and we’re left to grieve.

We’ll never forget him, that big, sweet Bear Dog!
But know he’ll be watching when we come along.

And he’ll run to meet us, like he did before,
At the Rainbow Bridge…back together once more.

How we loved you, Bear Dog!

Sylvia Smith

Bear, We will love you always and thank you for the joy that you have given to us.

Sharon, Tyler, Blake, Alexis, and Mark Johnson

The dog I could have ever had.
What a guy!
Super traveler!
Patient, loving, and such a sweet nature.
He was my buddy!

Deb Taylor

My sweet Bear It was to soon . Just 3 days ago Ida pasted away and i posted a tribute to her asking her to watch over you. and 3 days later you got taken away from me. I guess she couldnt be with out you and you coulnt be without her. You both were together for 12 years now you will never be apart. I dont know what i am going to do without the both of you. My heart is breaking. I just dont understand , you were fine you just got done playing with me. I even gave you the rest of my soup. then you layed down on the bed by my feet not even 5 minutes later you left me. I tried to help you but all i could do was hug you and tell you i love you. I will miss you both everyday . Thank you for being my best friends
I love you both
MOMMY

You were a sweet little darlin'.
We miss your gentle soft eyes and sweet nature.
We love you.

Tina Zabielski

A year has passed since you went to the bridge to wait for me. I still miss you everyday. You were my heart, my constant companion. I have Daisy and Abner now, but none can replace mybearbo....until we meet again my sweet Bear.

Brenda Dolan

He was an angel sent to my side
to be my companion, my savior, my guide

His eyes were so black, they nearly were blue
An angel from heaven, this much I knew

Terry had just passed not 6 months ago
I would have soon followed, this much I know

Had God not been kind and sent him alone
His love was so pure, in his eyes it shone

His name was Bear, given by dad
He knew when we hurt and when we were sad

His job was so simple really it was
Be steady, be vigilant and give lots of love

This job he did all through his life
He did it so well, we never realized

That God would soon call him, his angel named Bear
To help yet another through their despair

He was an angel sent from above
He wasn't a dog, he was nothing but love

Barbara Erickson

Beaster was my baby I found when he was a kitten. Beaster and me have beent through the roughest times. I was a teenager living on my own. Beaster was there when my family was not, when my boyfriends had left me, and when my friends were gone. Even though I moved I always made arrangments for Beaster and I promised him a better life. Beaster had suffered through a car hit when he was young, his lig had broke but healed great. He had every rib in body cracked when found as a kitten. The vet stated Beaster had already used all his 9 lives. Beaster suffered through mild colds here and there was always strong. For the last 4 yrs I had a steady home in which I gave Beaster the best. His best friend Princess misses him so much. He had toys. I miss you Beater, I have lost a friend and a child. I miss seeing you in my closet, I miss seeing you in my bed. I cry everyday and all I can think about is you. I have all your toys and pictures and I would give anything to have you back. Im sorry you were sick and Im sorry I couldnt watch when they put you to sleep. Im sorry for your pain. I will see you again in heaven. RIP Beaster I love you so much and Im just sorry and so sad. Gilbert misses you and even the annoying dogs say bye. I love you. Love Sara.

BeBe - So joyful to see me come home, so loving.
You are in my heart forever.
Wait at the Bridge, my sweet girl.
I will be along when my time comes to join you.

Love,
Mom

I am so sorry that I could not help you. I tried so hard and I am so sorry that you had to suffer. I love you my Bun Bun. Love, Mom, Moo, Schnoo, Dinkles, Diggy Fresh and Snuffles

Bye Bea Bea Girl we love you! We will miss you always, we hope that you are happy and healthy where ever you are! We only wish our time together could have been longer and better! We will see you at the rainbow bridge baby!

Tammy Connolly

Beau came to us as a scrawny half-grown rescue kitty 18 years.
His loving foster parents told us he was a "klepto" - he loved picking up things off desks and hiding them. He wore a harness and liked to walk on a zip wire in their safely fenced back yard.
That was a real sight to see, that's how we fell in love with him at first sight. He grew to be an enormous but athletic 15 pounds, sleeping, eating and just observing us like we were incoming airplanes.
His one and only trick was to put his left front paw in his water dish each time he drank water.
We don't know why he did this, but he used it to amuse us.
He also learned how fun it was to tip the bowl enough for the water to spill out on the floor.

He was really my twin daughters' pet, given to them when they were 8 years old. He loved them, got very depressed when they went to college, but then lived happily again with them after they got their own place.
The troubles
with age began to stack up against him this year - deafness, blindness and then cancer. He tried to stay in this world as long as he could but sadly we had to say goodbye to him at the vet's on July 15th.

The vet placed him in the program where tissue extraction was done for research, then returned his ashes to us.
We will find a great place for him soon and place his ancient water bowl with him where I'm sure at the Bridge he will continue to entertain his fellow pets with his antics.

Laurie, Anna and Megan Bailey

You were a Great dog and Companion who helped me through many hard times and you are greatly missed.

Amy Sundberg

You were always a special family member
Letting the puppies lie on your back
Letting Portia play with your tail
Helping us clean our plates.

You loved the outdoors
Fruitlessly chasing the deer and rabbits
Running to catch a frisbee or ball
Going on walks
Barking at neighborhood animals
Saying hello.

As you aged
Chases and walks got shorter
But you would always come lie by my side
So I could rub your ears and scratch your head.

You loved to shake hands
And as I prepared to say goodbye
I made sure to shake one more time
To let you know that we would meet again.

Paul and Robin Osserman

BEAU WAS A VERYY SPECIAL PET.I ADOPTED HIM WHEN HE WAS 6 WEEKS OLD AND HE IMMEDIATELY BECAME PART OF THE FAMILY.HE WAS A VERY LOVING PET AND WE WILL REALLY MISS HIM.I HOPE IF THERE IS A DOGGIE HEAVEN THAT HE IS THERE BECAUSE HE EARNED IT.WE LOVE YOU BEAU AND WILL MISS YOU.

The sunshine has gone out of my life and my broken heart will never mend.
I will always love you my precious and I hope you are in a better place now out of your pain.
I will love and miss you always sweetheart.

Linda

We will miss our quiet Beau.. we love you!

Deneen and Rich Tate

Amazing Beau
You touched the lives of both young and old and many in between. You pulled the cart ,dressed yp in your scarf and even kushed on command. Ate treats from our lips,b anna chips your favorite,while your friends all ate from our hands. A member of the camilids ,enough just cant be said. an empty space is in your field,but your memories sill live. May God be with you till we meet again

Cheryl Sonnabend

Beau was a true joy to my life. How I did love that dog! He was given to me when my dog Annie died. I didn't want a dog yet, I didn't want a boy dog, and I sure didn't want a puppy. He was all those things and he was perfect! He was thirteen but I still considered him young since he was a medium sized dog. He developed liver cancer though and there was no choice in my mind but to let him go. I was with him and I have his ashes now. I know that he lives in my heart and I see him, also, happy and healthy at the Rainbow Bridge. My two girl dogs and I miss him every day. I never knew just how much he was the life of the party around here. Thanks, Beau!

Judy Goudeau

Bubbie,

You are always going to be Mommie's special "Little Bit".
I miss you so much!

For those who love we we love, there is no parting.
Only eternal union.
This is us, Bubbie.
No parting.
Ever.

Please wait for Mommie at the Bridge with your sisters.
I'll be there as soon as the Lord allows.

Teresa

Baby Beau, I miss you so much, every day I think of you and wish you were still here with me. Sasha misses you, you have a new sister called Angelica, she is as energetic and sweet as you were with me.
I pray to God you are in a very safe and wonderful place.
I can't wait to see you again and hope we can all be together again. I love you so much!!

Narbeli

THIS STRONG BEAUTIFUL DOG WAS MY BEST FRIEND FOR 10 YEARS. I MISS HIM SO.

Andy Anderson

Beau was more than a dog to me. I petsat him, and he made my day everytime i saw his smiling face. He use to jump up on me and i'd just laugh. He died unexpectanatly out on a morning run....
His body might be gone but his soul lives on :)
I LOVE YOU BEAU!

Lauren and Erin

Our faithful, cherished pet. He cared more about our needs and feelings than he did about himself.
Our love, until we are together again.

Don & Sally Proctor

To the staff at Burnt Hills Hospital for their compassion to our dog Beau and our family. We were not patients at the hospital, and needed a special procedure done. They had us in the next day and with those results we had to put our dog to sleep that evening. My family felt like we had been part of the Burnt Hills Family for as long as we had our dog of 14 years. Thank You, Thank You so very much.

Laurel Colasurdo/Mary Schuh

Thank you for being my friends, and sharing your beautiful selves with me.
When my time comes I will be not afraid, but instead looking forward to seeing you once again.

Heidi Ladd and Family

To our cat we called the Fat Cat (and our sailboat is named after him). He became slim after developing diabetes at the age of 10 - and would have lived a very good life if not due to the unfortunate circumstances that resulted in his early departure to the Rainbow Bridge from being left in the care of friends we thought responsible. His death is still a mystery to us - and we miss him deeply even months later as I type this out to you all. Cheers to Mr. B - his memory will live on forever as we sail the high seas!!!

Anna and Mike

I'll miss your sad eyes, your manly bark when it was walk time, you hogging the bed, and getting into the bags when I brought them home, thinking there should be something for you.

Thank you for being in my life, and being my best friend for 10 short years.
For never judging me, and always being happy to see me when I came home, no matter how bad you had to pee.

Words will never explain how much I will miss you Beauf.
Until we meet again.
I can't wait to see you on Rainbow Bridge, just like we talked about.
Sally misses her best friend too.

Anjela

Soar high with your new Angel Wings, our deal little Beau.
We loved you the moment we met you as a baby kitten, we loved you every day of your too-short life, and we will love you forever.

Penny and Mendel Westberry

my darling beautie. my beautiful lady. i so miss you..sitting next to me with your soft muzzle on my lap. evenings are not the same and never will be. my darling how i miss you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Becca and Chris

We only had the privilege of knowing Beauty Queen for a year and a half. She came to us late in life, but filled a hole we didn't know existed. She loved to smile and really loved dinner time. She was a quiet, patient and good dog. A blessed addition to our family. We miss her every day.

Bill and Lori Sumner

Dear Beauty
The house is not the same without you. We all miss you so much but know that you were feeling too sick to stay with us. Look for Grandma and Grandpa in heaven-they will love to take care of you. Thank you for the wonderful love you shared with us and know that we will always love you. Rest now and know that we will never forget you and will see you someday. Love. Mom and Dad

Beaux loved our family with his whole heart and soul. He endured months of pain before leaving this earth for heaven. We miss him greatly and will always keep him in our hearts till we are joined again.

Jan, Ashley, Sarah, Ross, Billy, Osborne

Beauxcephus was a spunky, loving, cuddling, lap dog that didn't have enough time with his family.
His life was short, but he brought his humans much joy!
He is greatly missed and it has only been one day.
I will meet him at the Rainbow Bridge one day and will never let him go!

Heather Harrel & Dee Roberts

I have lost one of my best friends today.
I miss you Beaver more than words can say...Untill we meet agian my life will never be the same.
I cannot belive your gone.

Melissa

I know its only been a few days, but i'm lost without my little boy Beavis who was my life. He gave us so much joy and happiness and was never angry or aggressive to anyone or anything. I'm crying buckets as i sit alone at my computer, thinking of all the good times we had together. I know he was in pain at the very end as to we made the decision to let him goto sleep peacefully, but i still feel really guilty for doing so.
RIP Beavis my little angel, I'll love and miss you forever.

Julie Hendry

I put my dibs on her when she was 3 minutes old. I was there when she took her first breath and her last. She will be sorely missed and greatly remembered. I miss hearing her loud purr beside me every step I took, anywhere I sat, the last thing I heard at night and the first thing I heard in the morning. And that little pat on my face when she felt I had slept too long. A piece of my heart went with her. XOXOXO Until we meet again my little "NeNe"!!

Nancy Jo Adams

Becca was the sweetest cat. She had so many wonderful qualities. She loved to play hide and seek every night before bedtime. She'd always hide in the same spot and squeak with delight when I'd 'find' her. She loved to watch figure skating. We think it must have been the movement on a white background that got her attention. She'd always sit upright between us and stare at the screen during the skating. She always stayed by my side when I was sick. She is dearly missed.

Joe Harden & Jim Rosskopf

We remember happy times when you would play and run about, and come to us when we did shout.
Your cheerful soul will always roam the fields that lie beside your home.Well let you rest now lovely boy, you gave us such enduring joy.Youll live forever in our eyes, and from your grave will sweetness rise.They say that dog is mans best friend you were, indeed, until the end. And how we wept and how we cried the day that you our Beck died.

Stephanie Garvey

You only with us for 3 three years, but you gave us all your love and devotion, in return we gave you a safe and loving home. You had a very hard life with your previous owners but the good Lord put you in our paths. WE miss you dearly Becky, one day we will meet again. Rest in peace

John Compassi / Mario Langlois

that all our babies find happiness and comfort

Dominique Webb

She was one of a kind...so gentle, so loving, so tolerant, so protective, and she had a wonderful personality.
We love her so much and miss her terribly.
Life will never be the same without her in it.
We were truly blessed to have had her in our life, although it does not seem long enough, and our hearts ache from losing her.

Debbie

My Becky JO, I never told you that you were a dog to mama you were just my baby girl. My constant companion. you did such a wonderful job helping me raise so many daycare babies. you protected them, you knew their needs and comforted them in sadness. you can never be replaced Becca. Everything about you I adored. From your kind loving eyes, to that adoreable nose, to your sweet perky personality. You were always so tolorant to any animal that was taken in needing a home the rabbits that you snuggeled with when we went out for the day and the many many cats that came our way. you never ever scared or chased any of them. you were such a loving soul. I feel your soul in mine now and I will forever be an even better person because of you my beck.
Mommy and Daddy love you so so much.

Boo was just 4-1/2 lbs and was our baby who slept between us ever night. She was 12 yrs young, to young.
She would twirl around when you tell her to. The most loveable dog we've ever had and so fragile and dependent on us. We have 9 left but she was something special and will remain in our hearts and memories forever. Placing a tear on this page.

Rick

BeeBee was a gentle giant.
I will all the days of my life miss my beloved best friend.

Patricia Napier

OH, Beeble I miss you so I am so very sorry I didn't know your feed would kill you.

How, I wish I had just cooked for you and Kayla I am fighting to win you justice and hope the fight will save others then at lease your death will have had a purpose.

I, am sorry for all the vet test and pain you went to had I known I would have let you go sooner. I only wonted to give you every chance to get well and live . I still see you lying on your hello kitty bed I miss your foot steps behind me , but I know you are running free and happy at the bridge and we will meet again. Until then my sweet Angel .
I love you MoM

Beecher was joy. Beecher was protection.
Beecher was so very special.

Audrey and Shannon

BEEDIE I MISS YOU MORE THAN ANY WORD CAN DESCRIBE.
I MISS YOU MEOWING WHEN YOU WANTED FOOD, RACING TO THE FOOD BOWL WHEN YOU WANTED SOME "GRAVEY" ON YOUR DRY FOOD, GIVING YOU TREATS AND MOST OF ALL I MISS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!
I AM SORRY THAT I GAVE YOU THE IAMS WET FOOD, BUT I KNEW THAT YOU LOVED "GRAVEY." ULTIMATELY THE FOOD WAS RESPONSILE MAKING YOU SICK AND ALSO YOUR DEATH. I STUCK BY YOU WHEN WHEN YOU WERE SICK, DID EVERY THING AND ANYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE YOU WELL. YOU NEVER MADE A SOUND, ALTHOUGH GOD KNEW THAT YOUR DAYS WERE NUMBERED, I COULDN'T LET HIM TAKE MY ANGEL. WHEN IT WAS UNDESCRIBABLY HARD FOR ME TO SEE YOU AS SICK AS YOU WERE, I THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD GET BETTER IF I GAVE YOU LOVE AND TOOK CARE OF YOU 24/7. YOU WERE LIKE A SON TO ME AND TO SEE YOU GO WAS AND STILL IS DEVISTATING. THE MORNING THAT I GAVE YOU A LITTLE FOOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE COMING AROUND, BUT WHEN I CAME TO CHECK ON YOU, YOU WERE ALREADY IN HEAVEN. I AM ALWAYS THINKING, IF I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE WET FOOD, YOU WOULD STILL BE HERE WITH ME RIGHT NOW. YOU MADE MY DAYS, NIGHTS AND MY LIFE BRIGHT, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY BEST FRIEND. YOU ARE WITH MY GRANDMOTHER IN HEAVEN, NOT SUFFERING FROM ASTHMA, OR ANY OTHER MEDICAL CONDITION. BEEDIE, YOU ARE TRUELY AN ANGEL. I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO BRING YOU BACK. I WISH I COULD JUST HUG YOU AGAIN, SEE YOU SHOW ME YOUR FANG AND HOLD YOU TIGHT. AS TEARS COME TO MY EYES, I AM ASSURED THAT I WILL SEE YOU SOMEDAY IN HEAVEN MY FURRY FRIEND.
LOVE ALWAYS, YOUR "MOMMY" RENEE. xo
RIP BEEDIE 11/1995 TO 4/27/2007

He brought nothing but joy and laughter into our lives...such a character, and so popular with everyone..we fell in love with him from the first time we laid eyes on him.
Beefy was a HUGE part of us--and we are blessed that Beefy chose our family to share his life with.
We are trying to put our lives back together without our "face-y face"..and we will love Beefy forever.

Marcia Rip & Kyle

Beefy, You will be missed.
I hope you get to see Pootey.
Love, Mom, Jesse, and Bailey.

BeeJay, I miss you so.
You are forever in my heart.
You have been gone for 8 months, but will never be forgotten.

Cathy Audorff

BeeJay, we miss you very much.
But I know you are now with Baron, Duke, Sammie, Peaches and Duffy and will be waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge.
I know you are not in any pain and can now run and play like you used to.
We miss you, our dear BeeJay.

Donna

BeeJay was my darling boy.
He came to me from a friend's house when he was just a baby and spent his entire life with me.
He became ill last fall and spent several days in intensive care but fought back in order to spend another 6 months with me.
He died of kidney failure in March.
Now he is forever in my heart.
I miss you, my dear angel-kittie.

Cathy Audorff

SHE GREW INTO HER OVERSIZED HEAD AND SURVIVED MANY A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION ALL TO RETURN TO ME NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT HER FEAT.
HER BEAUTIFUL QUALITIES OF REMINDING ME OF THE MORNING HOUR AND THE GENTLE NATURE IN SECRETLY LYING BESIDE YOU MADE HER EVER ENDEARING TO ME.

You were in so much pain so we released you. Having to let go was the hardest thing for us to do but we just couldn't bare to see you suffer anymore. Having lost two family members in a matter of only a few days, first my lil 12 year old cousin and today my beloved "Tobey". By far, the most difficult week of my life and the week isnt even over yet. I just hope that you know just how much you were loved by us all and I pray that you are finally at peace. Your sister Missy, however, is having a hard time trying to understand why you haven't returned home from your trip to the vet. She continues to search the entire house for you. You both were never far from each other and I know that she will be having a very hard time in dealing with this but take comfort in knowing that we will take very good care of her. Until we meet again "Tobey"... We Love You!

Beethoven had such an extraordinary personality, even though he only had a few short months to live. He loved giving his mommy kissies and rolling over for treats and he followed his daddy all over the house, always right underneath his feet. Beethoven was my first ferret and opened my eyes to these wonderful pets. You will be greatly missed by all of us buddy. I love you so much.

Tahnee and Benjamin

She was our sweet ,loyal, baby dog for 13 years and we will miss her so much. Life is not the same right now,such an emptiness.

L. Beck

On the morning of September 12, 06 at about 5 in the morning something came over me to go downstairs and check on the best friend I had, I found my dad sitting by him laying down he was on his belly 4 legs out, and I knew something had happened. We took him into the vet and she said we had two choices: keep him and maybe he will make it until Christmas or Put him down. I didn't want him to suffer, so we decided to put him down. He was he best friend I have ever had. If he would've lasted a few more months I would've had him for my whole high school career

Stephanie

Today we had to say good-bye to a wonderful friend and big brother too.
Begean was my first baby about 17 years ago and since then I have gotten married and had five other babies.
He looked at me with wonder every time I brought home another human baby, probably thinking, "Not another hairless screaming cat, I thought I was your favorite." He still loved me though, and waited for me to be done every night so he could sleep beside me.
I guess he was in the background, but always there for comfort he gave and gave.
I am greatful
to have loved you Begean and to be love by you Begean.
You are in the light now, and I will see you again in about 40 to 50 years ok.

My sweetest son Beldin

You came into our lives 18 years ago, on sunny Sunday morning.
A small orange baby with a body that was so thin, a broken tail and scabs on your ears and nose. I scooped you out of the morning glories that day to save you, not knowing how you would save us.
You let your Momma hold you like a baby, knowing that her arms longed for the child we could not save.
You stole our hearts with your funny, sweet ways.
You grew into a Lion King and became a source of constant joy and friendship to all
who knew you.
But you always held back something special just for us .
Whether
purring, chatting or getting under foot, we knew you would be waiting for us. Always making our lives so much richer and fuller.

It broke our hearts to let you go on Tuesday but we knew it was the right thing to do.
You have earned your peace my furry son. Rest and play; both Mammas will be there with you before you know it.
We love you.

Mechelle

Beliah, we were so blessed to have you as a part of our family.
Our hearts are broken to have lost you so soon.
Thank you for all the laughs, and for the deep unconditional love you gave us.
We miss you terribly and we'll never ever forget you.

The Ventura Family

We will miss you so much "Bella Girl". We will miss your night time kisses.
We hate you had to go..we love you!

Kevin, Elise, Brianna, Alex and Hannah Freeman

My baby girl, Bella, was dancing on this earth for only a short while, but she brought many a smile, laughter, and love. And was loved so very much, and now missed so down deep. She is now with all her "brothers and sisters" we have been blessed with and I know they will love her too.

The pain of losing you has never gone away. To this day my heart still breaks just thinking of you. You will live in my heart for ever my darling. Run free and with out pain with Cozy baby girl. Until we meet again darling. I love you always.

Vicky Savage

Bella was my first pet, and she died last week after exploratory surgery.
I was hoping she had swallowed a toy but she had cancer.
Words cannot express how lost I feel.
She was my perfect companion.
I looked into her eyes and I saw a higher power.
We would dance together; she slept with me; she woke me up every morning by putting her face into my ear and then her paw under my arm, and then she would prance out of the room, turning around every once in a while to make sure I followed her so she could be fed.
There was no one like Bella.
Every night, before I retired from work, I would come home and she would hear my steps on the stairs and she would be
waiting for me.
When I would read in the armchair she would curl right up next to me.
My life feels empty right now... and each day is a struggle.
But I just picked up her ashes and I feel sort of better.
At times I think I hear her bell or I think I see her out of the corner of my eye.
This is a terrible loss.

Pat Dixon

Our beautiful girl, the loving sister of Bonny who we lost 2 days ago aged 16 years 11 months.
We'll remember them both forever.

Suzanne and David Walsh

Bella,
You should have been a only dog, treated like a princess. You learned to live with the others but you weren't always happy about it. I will miss your smile, your "Happy Dance", and yes, even your insistent barking to drop everything and come sit on the floor and pay attention to me!!! You were definitely a very special Princess to us.

Norma & David Morgan

Bella passed away just before her fifth birthday. She was the most beatiful dog I have ever had the pleasure of owning. She was loyal, had agreat sense of fun and had the sweetest nature of any dog I have owned. She suffered from bad health and we think eventually her heart gave out. After two years, I still miss her and think of her every day. I shall never forget her.

Martin Huxley

Bella Baby,
Our connection was so obvious from the beginning.
You were my whole world.
Thank you for 14 unbelievable years.
Although I hurt so bad not having you with me, I do know you and I made the right decision in the end.
I'll love you with all my heart forever.

Susan Combs

To my little "Bella Pie". You will be missed by so many people. You touched the hearts of many and made (non dog) people care and love you. You had been through so much with me and always loved me. I will love you forever babygirl.

Joel Ayers

My dearest Bella,

On the 23rd of June you would of been 5yrs old, i just cant seem to think that you are actually not with me anymore. I still think that you are in the hospital and i am going to come and pick you up. Not a day goes by that i dont think of you. I miss you so very much. I look at your picture everyday and it looks like you are looking back at me which i know you are! I miss your bark and how you would give me lots of kisses when i would come home from work, i miss you bouncing on the floor when you knew you were getting a dog treat for being a good girl outside, i miss you sleeping on my chest and your snoring. I still cant bring myself to take down your christmas stocking that i put up for you just a couple of weeks before your passing. I am thankful for you coming into my life, you still make me smile when i think of you and all the cute stuff you used to do. I still cant believe that you are actually gone it just doesnt seem real for me yet. I am just very grateful that you gave me the very best of the 4yrs that i had you and i will never forget that. I am also grateful for that when you did pass away you were with me and your dad. Laying in between us as you did every night when you were sleeping. I know thats how you would of wanted it. I love you forever and i will never forget you. I miss you muchkin. We will be together again someday.

Loving you FOREVER

Mom.

I love and miss you so very much. And i think of you everyday.

Jody

My Beautiful, beautiful Bella.
There are so very few words to express my love for you.
Your never ending devotion and protection of me will never be forgotten.
I miss hearing the thumping of your tail that greets me even before I come in the house.
I miss our many hours of playing fetch.
I am sorry if I did not love on you as much as I should or take you with me more.
I am glad you are no longer in pain but, I am so sorry I was not with you when you left this world.
I buried you in the back yard with your favorite ball...I will plan on playing many more hours of fetch when I see you at the Rainbow Bridge.
Till I see you again...I love you.

Nancy

Bells We miss you! Hope to see you someday in rainbow bridge, malloree misses you very much! you were her life, and now she is yours, we love you very very very very very much bells!

Macee

Bella,

We had you in our life for only 5 short months, but that time was one of the happiest in our life..we will miss your special voice, your gentle spirit and your funny antics.
Our hearts ache for you each and every day...your death came all too suddenly.
You were taken from us too soon.
Chanel also misses you terribly..she sleeps in your favorite chair all the time and will see you one day at the rainbow bridge...rest in peace, our darling angel.
We love you so much and we will never forget you!

Marjorie and Alice

Bella was always there when I came home usually wagging her tail or hiding under the table because she tipped over the garbage can. She was a salt and pepper color and always spiced up my life. We named her after Princess Belle and changed the e to an a so she was unique but she was nothing short of a princess. She will live on in my heart for all of eternty and I can't wait to cross that bridge with her...

Chelsi Mackin

Hello my sweet, sweet Bella.
You are a beautiful, loving piece of our family.
We knew you were sick from the day you came to live with us, but we all loved you so very much.
We took care of you the best we could and you lived a very happy life, playing with Dudley and
Mia.
They both miss you terribly.
Dudley hasn't eaten since you left us, and Mia just wants to play.
You and China are the best things that happened in our family.
Dr. Bounds said you will come back to me as a sweet puppy....I'll be waiting.
Dad is lost without you....we want you hear with us....laying your head on the sofa for us to pet...asking to go out or to drink water....just running around the coffee table.
We have lost something that we will never be able to replace...your beautiful, loving face.
Be well, and run and play with China, Sandy and Shin...they will love you as we do.

Eve Gentzler

Bella, I was afraid to get too close to you and love you too much because of the way China leftou
me. Within days, you stole my heart.
Yesterday and today were the worse days of my life....just waiting.
I wanted you to leave us with dignity, that's why I told U of P to stop.
I hope you understand.
We loved you so very much and we always will.
Wait until you meet Shin, Sandi and China...they're looking for you.
You'lllove them...don't be afraid...we will always be with you.
Mom and Dad

TO MY DARLING BELLA.
YOUR PASSING WAS SO SUDDEN AND I DID'NT SAY GOODBYE, I LOVE AND MISS YOU MORE THAN EVER, YOU WERE MY BABY
I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN AT RAINBOW BRIDGE WAIT FOR ME FOR DARLING.

ALL MY LOVE

MUMMYXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Oh My beautiful Bella;
I will love You forever, you were so smart and knew whatever I was thinking.
Uncle Marco, the buddhist and your buddy used to always say that you were a human in another life.

I have never had a connection with a dog like My "bella";
it was so strong and caring and loving.
She took care of me as much as I did to her.
We Truly were Best Friends!!
she always looked at me in eyes and listened so attentively and without saying a word she always knew what I was thinking.

I think I lost the Best dog!!

How do I get over it?

The hardest thing in my life; because I miss my Bella sooooooooooo much!

I have a new Puppy; she is full of piss & vinegar and so happy.
she is a pure bred yellow/white lab and I love her so much...

But I have to say that she just isn't as smart and quick as Bella was.
she is one year now and she listens and loves to play and is such a Princess.
We adore her!

When will I stop thinking of and missing my Bella?
she had the mast cell tumours and we had them removed and then she got another one that apparently had ruptured and bled for a week.
i had to make the worst decision of my life and put bella down.

Maybe I just can't forgive myself for making the decision, and thinking about her dying in my arms and her licking my face just before she was euthanized.

The Hardest decision of my Life and I Just Miss My Bellie

I do know that i tried and did everything for her... but I somehow wish I did not have the surgery and did not listen to the Vet who insisted that she have the lump removed.

She was Happy, eating & still loved to go for walks...

My beloved Bella had the surgery and it seems that is when she got worse and developed another lump under her arm pit that bled for a week.

I tried every first aid technique I knew...
there was blood everywhere and she stil kissed her Mom and didn't appear to be in pain.

I made the decision to put her down after I saw a pool of blood beside her.
Again, the Most difficut Desicion Of My Life
i probably will never ever be Blessed with such a best Friend

But I do Have the cutie pie Bianca to train, Love & to cuddle with forever!

Teresa Angela Haws

Bella came to us as quite a surprise. We had gotten her mother lily (she crossed the bridge in sept of 05)and to our surprise she brought along 4 little hoglets a few days later. Well Bella took a special place with us and we kept her with us. My memories of her are many, she would come up and crawl under a shirt and snuggle in with you and sleep for hours and when she wanted attention she would run across your feet if she was out excersing. She was with us from the day she was born till the day she passed and probably ranks up there with the most spoiled animals of all time. We love our Bella and she will be sadly missed.

Michael Henderson

ba-bi I miss you so much
i cant wait to see you again
my life is not the same

Lisa Williams

Dear Bella,
You were with us for 8 of your 10 years, too short a time.
You suffered so much with your cancer but were courageous through it all.
You practically died in my arms that last morning as I sat with you on the floor of our bedroom.
You waited to cross the rainbow bridge until I fell asleep at 5 a.m.
When I woke at 5:45 you were gone.
Blessings on you and all the furbabies and may we soon be reunited.
Love,
Mommy Honora

Bella was with us for such a short time but in that one year my husband and I grew to love her like one of the family. She was so sweet and beautiful and loved us so much. Yesterday she was struck by a speeding car and killed instantly. We were devastated. My husband was unable to bury her due to recent surgery so I chose a place in our field under a beautiful tree and began to dig her grave. Out of a clear sky it began to rain lightly so I decided to go in the house and wait for the rain to stop. As I turned toward the house, there in the sky was the clearest, brightest rainbow I have ever in my life seen. I stood there looking at this beautiful rainbow and knew that this one was for my beautiful Bella, and God's way of letting me know that she was at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for us. Coincidence? I think not.

Jan Beasley

Bella, it has been almost 3 years since you left us.
We think of you every day, and always will.
I know Winston misses you.
His little ears perk right up whenever your name is mentioned.
Yesterday he was with me as I tended to your grave site, he loves to chase the weeds I toss, same as always.
You never met Oliver and Ginger, who are a lot of fun, and they keep Winston occupied.
I know his sweet little heart has a spot for you in it.
Save us a seat, Bella.

Marilyn Bower

Baby Bella,
You were my dearest friend and companion.
Please let the joy of your life shine brightly in my heart forever.
You are so missed by mommy,daddy,grandma, grandpa, and everyone that got to meet your precious self.
I want you to know that if I ever get a new puppy, you will never be replaced in my heart! Mommies little girlfriend!!!
Love,
Mommy

beloved baby of michelle, amy, john and chris

Amy

Bella,

We loved you so much even though you tore up our shoes.
You made us laugh with the way you would run around the furniture avoiding your big brother Bosco. I loved the way you would bust open the bathroom door when I was trying to have some quiet time, the way you scared the mail man everyday with your "I wouldn't really hurt a fly, " bark.
We are going to miss you so much. Tonight is a sad time.
I love you, rest now my sweetheart.

Shannen Heyman

You are gone but you WILL never be forgotten. I will love you and miss you ALWAYS and FOREVER. You are my world and i will see you again and i cannot wait for that day to come. To see you running on all 4 legs again and running towards me to greet me with lots of kisses. I dream of that day and knowing that i will see you again gives me hope. Until then my sweet baby girl i love you always and think of you everyday.

Love Mom!
you are my sunshine!
My Munchkin

Little Bella, my angel in a cat suit...home will never feel like home..."twas heaven here with you."
You will be in my heart forever.

Linda Drahos

A true sophisticated lady and my Mother's true pal.Bella was relaxed and friendly to all who entered her home.

She passed quietly, with the Vet's help, after all medical intervention had failed.

The family will miss her friendly purrs and her soft friendly mannerisms.

Sooo Long BOOOO!!
Your Buddy,
Joe

Bella was the light of our lives.I raised her from a puppy and she did everything with us.When she was born her little feet were turned backwards and we worried if she could walk.They turned around and she was the spunkiest little thing your would ever want to meet.She loved chasing the broom when I would sweep and she loved riding a skateboard.She developed what our vet thought was a mild virus when she was 6 months and she was hospitalized for 2 weeks.We thought she was turning the corner when her kidneys and liver shut down and she left us .I dont know if I will ever be able to get over this loss.Evrywhere I go I am reminded of her.I loved her so much. Bella remebered.

Kristi Taylor

May your soul be free and reincarniate into a loving being....you are missed by many!

Zachary, Trish and Courtney

MAY YOUR SPIRIT SOAR HIGHER THAN THE TREES, MY BELOVED LITTLE ONE.

Karen Holencsak

Belle & I (Eleanor) were a special gift from God to each other. She captured my heart from the minute I saw her at the shelter. Belle was an older dog who hadn't known much love so we made sure she knew we loved & cherished her. She gave unconditional love & acceptance, was my faithful walking buddy, loved to snuggle & cuddle, and was a wonderful friend. Belle was my beautiful girl, my canine angel. I will love her forever & look forward to seeing her in heaven.

Precious sweet belle, we love you and you will always be in our hearts.
Rest sweet girl until we meet again. We Love you.

Joshua Garza

Our little Belle Belle was truly a dog's dog. She got to do the things doggies love most. Run, play, hunt and get rabbits. Dad took such beautiful care of her when I couldn't. They were truly pals and she was his guardian angel. I saw her wings when I was grieving her moving with him. She still loved to come to my house and play in her yard and guard the goods. We love her and miss her and we are glad she is no longer suffering from lymphoma. Bless you Belle you are my flying scottie dog and a mighty hunting scottie too. I am so glad when you come to visit and tell me you are happy and well so I can share that with dad. Thank you for being with us and sharing your unconditional love and such beautiful joy.

Bob and Corny

I miss you so much Belle. Rabbit hunting just isn't the same without you. Mom is the one who insisted on getting a dog, and I am so glad she did, I knew we would be pals the first time I saw you - a little 8 pound Scottie almost all head. You make friends where you are now and thanks for visiting Mom - she misses her little pupster too - very much.

Bob

Once more there are playmates to wait at the bridge for mom to join you, Belle and Thunder; Craig, Michelle and Cal, Brandy and the Girls as well as Foster Mom misses you and loves you. Have fun playing with the others.

Judy Davidson

Belle-Belle,
We will all miss you so much. Especially your little brother, Gabe. You took such good care of him & kept him sparkling clean!!We loved you little Belle Barrel and we are so thankful that you found us!
We love you,

There is a beautiful Starr in Heaven. We were blessed to know her, but we shall miss her so.

To our Bellini, who was more human than animal to us; you truly had an old soul.
You fought each illness with so much bravery and experienced each one at too young an age.
You made such an impact on our lives and will be missed beyond belief.
We love you very much and will never forget your unconditional love. We hope you know how much we loved you and hope to see you again one day. Love Mom, Dad and 'Tini

Nancy Weaver

Nancy Weaver

Please forgive me sweet Ben, for I feel I somehow let you down.
After loving you for over 12 years, you had a problem I couldn't fix. I couldn't see you suffer any longer.
You will always be my special boy.
I miss you so much and wish I could hug you one more time.

Momma loves you Benny.

A million times we've called for you, a million times we've cried,
If love could have saved you never would have died

In life we love you dearly, in death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place, that no one else will ever fill,
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone,
Part of us went with you, The day God took you home.

Angie

My baby boy, all these years your faithful face waited eagerly in the window for our arrival home.
Jakey misses you, he misses you chasing his remote control car, Gracie misses your evening game of chase, Daddy misses you next to the bed, Bowie misses sleeping next to you, Mommy misses everything about you, for 14 years you faithfully greeted me, wagging your tail and sleeping at my feet so you would know I was leaving the room, waiting for me in the shower, just everything about you.
I look at your chair now, so empty...rest peacefully puppy and wait for us at the bridge....you were our first baby...seeing you rest so peacefully, although it broke our hearts made me feel at peace, suffer no more our little boy, we'll see you again.

Forever, Mommy, Daddy, Jakey, Gracie and Bowie

My beloved Ben kitty.
In your quiet and shy way you touched my heart like no other.

I adopted Ben and his twin brother Jerry 5 years ago after they were taken from an abusive home.
They were about 5 years old at that time.
Ben was probably the runt and his big brother Jerry always protected him.
Quiet and shy, Ben needed special attention and always remained afraid of people he didn't know.
He was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago and went downhill quickly the last few weeks of his life.
On the day he departed, he refused food or water and by noon had difficulty standing.
We said our goodbyes to each other and we went to the vet, I held him close as he was given the injection.
Ben tried to purr then slumped down and died quietly in my arms.
Furbabies he leaves behind are his brother Jerry and three dogs he had grown to love.
He will be joining Patches, Patter, and others at the Rainbow Bridge to wait for me.

Doug Gillett

To our smiling Benny dog, we miss you more than you'll ever know, our home and our hearts are empty without you. You were the bright spot in the day, you put the smiles on not only our faces , but everyone's face that knew you and those who you crossed paths with!! Nothing is the same without you, I keep waiting to hear you talk, snort and see you smile one last time. Everyone keeps telling me that we gave you the best life you could have had and ever wanted. I do know that and believe it's true but it doesn't take the hurt away. Everything we gave you, you gave back. You spoiled us just as much as we spoiled you.Not only were you a companion you were a friend, a Therapy Dog who comforted others while they were in a time of need, you stayed with those who were dying, sat with those who needed someone next to them and ohhh the meals you have shared!! We'll miss you singing over the phone for birthdays, being the "Easter Benny", making a nest in the bed, sleeping under the covers, snuggling up on cold nights and becoming very excited at the sight of blaze orange, a gun or gun case!!Have fun Bubba..Mommy loves that Benny Dog..Benny's a good boy.

Christine and Mitch

Ben was precious and loved Chris to death. He was Chris' loyal companion for over 16 years, and I'm sure will always be with him.

Liz and Ian

Thank you for all the amazing memories and times together. I wouldn't have imagined life without you.
We will all miss you

Emilly

Ben has coped bravely with health problems throughout his life, including diabetes, arthrytis and blindness.
His unlimited love, devotion and complete trust won him a special place in the hearts of all who knew him.
He was brave and calm right to the end.
He leaves a deep, dark space in our lives, which we can only try to fill with memories.
We know he is now free from pain and will be waiting to greet us when it is out turn to pass over.
God bless Ben.

My dear little Ben. The best friend I ever had. You were without a doubt the sweetest soul I have ever known. How lucky was I to have had your unconditional love for 17 long years? We have been through a lifetime together, you and I.

I loved your beautiful eyes, your beautiful face, but mostly your beautiful, sweet little soul. From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew that you were the one. I will miss you more than words can ever express, and I will carry you deep inside my heart until the day that we can be together again. Be at peace my beautiful little bear. Heaven is lucky to have you, my little angel. I love you.

We'll meet again, though, at the Rainbow Bridge.
Be happy until then.
Love, Dad and Mom

Ben,

You were my special friend for 7 years and I love you so much.
My heart feels like it is breaking now that you are gone. We all miss you so much especially Bailey.
He opens the back door to tell you goodbye or to say hello when he comes home from school and we all still talk to you as if you are still here.
Until we meet again you'll always be in our hearts.

Ben,

Hope you are at peace now and playing in doggy heaven. Although its killing me that you had to go at least i can find comfort in that you will never be in discomfort again.

It seemed so strange when we got home last night that you werent there to come running up to us tail wagging to say hello or to rest your head on my feet when i sat down.

The hole you dug in the garden to stay cool when its hot is still there.

Your my best friend mate, you always listened to me ranting on about anything and when id finished you were always there to come nuzzle me to make sure i was OK.

Im so relieved i was there with you and you werent alone in the night.

You had an extraordinary life. I remember i was just 9 when mum brought you home. Her frend had found you on her doorstep in a cardboard box abandoned, just a puppy. That first night you spent with us you were so scared. You just sat under the table and i read a book to you to calm you down and slept with you all night. slowly you began to trust again when you realised how much we all loved you and that you were safe. After a few days you were running round the house taking charge and causing mischief. You were so full of life you brightened up everyones day every day.

I remember on bonfire night i used to sneak you upstairs to sleep on my bed because you were scared. the only thing was i ended up on the floor or in the corner of the bed because you liked to sprawl out and relax.

If id been on holiday when i got back id go bursting throught the door to see you and when you saw me your cheeks came up and it looked like you were smiling, you tail would be wagging so fast we couldnt see it!

i hope your having a good time in doggy heaven, although i know you wont be playing with any toys, you never were interested in them, youll be eating lots and just running around all day causing mischief.
Youll be missed by everyone who ever met you, you were so loving to everybody, even the window men although you barked when they came as soon as you went outside you would wag your tail and say hello.

Love you lots baby,

Always in our hearts forever,

Jenna, Mum, Dad, Dave & Gran

My Bengie was a very special dog who loved to entertain.
He really loved cookies and would dance and do tricks for cookies.
We could not even spell the word cookie or he would get all excited.
I have had many dogs in my lifetime but Bengie was more special to me.
He had a special personality.
I love him and miss him so much.

BEST FRIEND I EVER HAD

Charles King

Our precious toy poodle, Benito, AKA Little Daddy, passed away this past month.
He passed away suddenly and suffered greatly.
We miss him so much.
He was taken at the young age of 3 years old.

Jeannette

The house feels so empty and dead without Benji. His absence is real hard to bear. He has taken a part of us all together with him. We will always love him and miss him dearly.
