Eagle, 08/22/94-07/13/06
The following is an excerpt from an email post I
delivered
to the greyhound email list I subscribe to.
The letter was from both of us and best describes his final day
on God's
green earth.
Two summers ago, Eagle had neurological phenomena
occur
that left him temporarily incapacitated the weekend of 31 July-1
August
of 2004.
We thought that would have been the weekend we would lose him,
but an act
of God occurred when he recovered enough to walk.
After a week of nursing him back to health, he was about 80-85%
recovered.
He wasn't as swift as he once was, and he did need assistance
getting in
and out of his favorite pastime -- the car, but he was
functional.
He was afraid of ceramic tiling (it's a good thing because it's
expensive
anyway) because he would slip more easily in his current state,
even afraid
of our kitchen floor (which was cheesy vinyl).
In the early morning hours of the 11th of July, he woke up,
jumped from
the bed (per usual), fell to the floor, and couldn't get up.
My very sad news to report is that we had to help
Eagle
to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday afternoon (July 13th, 2006).
Realizing that he didn't WANT to get up anymore and didn't want
to even
leave the family room, we knew that it was time.
We helped him into the yard, carrying him to do his duties,
supporting
his back end when he had to go to the bathroom (with steroids
and water
-- you know the rest of the story).
When he didn't WANT to do it anymore, his message to us was
clear.
Yesterday at 2:06pm (13 July 2006) Dan held him in his arms to
comfort
him, to let him know that we love him, and that his misery would
become
more comfortable very shortly.
He felt no discomfort anymore, succumbed very quickly, and was
finally
at rest.
He was our Bum, our King, our Old Friend, our first ever dog
(for both
of us).
I usually tell others on this list that helps their four-legged
friends
to the Rainbow Bridge that remembering your friend will keep him
or her
alive forever.
He will be very much alive -- in our hearts --- for a long time.
It was very lonely last night without him in the
bed,
without the "sigh" of comfort as he snuggles against us, without
Mom and Dad's back pain in the morning, without his clock work
9:45pm whining
at dad to go to bed. A very solid sleep was in order, one that
we haven't
had in a long time.
His new brother Gage was a little confused by it all, looking
for him,
wondering why he wasn't in his "designated spot" last night.
It will take us all a while to adjust -- now we just have to
tell everyone.
Eagle, my Old Friend, you will live on forever in
our
hearts and in our memories.
Let this article be my tribute to you, and may it give you the
peace and
serenity you deserve.
Until it¡¯s our turn to meet you again, rest well our little
angel.

Farewell my Faithful Friend
6.24.07
The time has come to say good-bye, dear faithful
and loving
friend.
You have been my constant and caring companion through the worse
and best
times of my life.
No one has understood the pain I¡¯ve had for lack of human love,
but you.
You have licked away all my tears over the last 11 years.
You have walked beside me through the many changes and
challenges I have
endured in my search for true love and acceptance.
You have followed in my shadow and given me the assurance that I
was never
alone.
When times were bad, you stayed close beside giving me the
strength to
keep going.
When times were good, you kept me laughing and pursuing the love
of life.
You inspired me to be adventurous in those early years of
working toward
my independence.
And when I sought out human companionship, you participated with
me in
the search, never discouraging me from my choices.
With each new relationship, you acted the
gentleman, while
remaining the protector,
And gave me the confidence to take those risks and chances.
I never saw you react jealously, even when my choices turned out
to be
wrong.
In retrospect, I see that your unconditional love and acceptance
turned
out to be far more generous and genuine than any human companion
I have
ever had.
I¡¯ve never seen you angry at me.
You¡¯ve never ignored me or left me feeling alone.
I¡¯ve never felt shamed or abandoned by you.
And now as your precious life fades away, you
walk ever
closer by my side,
Never far from sight,
Still kissing away my tears,
Still assuring me in spite of your own discomfort and weakness,
That I am number one in your life as much today as when you
first came
to me over a decade ago.
For all this time you have been my strength, my
encourager,
my one true friend.
And now it is my turn to give you the strength and encouragement
you need
to face your final hour.
You deserve a loving and peaceful end.
You deserve the most gentle good-bye I can give you.
I vow now to give you the peace you so deserve, my precious Eb.
I will miss your beautiful loving brown eyes,
Your cold wet nose nuzzling my face
And your warm sweet kisses.
I will miss your love of chasing after tennis balls,
And the eager gallop and excited barks of going for walks.
I will miss your love of your treat jar
And your over-indulgent begs for too many doggie bones.
I will miss how you were able to communicate so effectively
without words,
And following you with the ¡°Show Me¡± command.
I will always believe that we were able to read
each other¡¯s
minds,
And that you are letting me know that the time has come to say
farewell.
These are our last hours together, my old friend.
I cherish them as much as I¡¯ve cherished the last 11 years we¡¯ve
shared
together.
I will never forget your love, your loyalty and undying
devotion.
It is said that a relationship like this comes once in a
lifetime.
I'm so glad I had the privilege of having that relationship with
you, my
dear old friend.
Bren Love Ross
Ebenezer, 01/15/94-02/04/01
You are still missed to this day Eb. You were taken away too soon and unfortunately, I was not prepared to say goodbye to you. People say you were just a bird, but I know better then that. I will never forget you.

Ebony Bubba Bear, 08/09/98-11/14/07
May you now sit in the lap of our lord! Although we miss you so much and our hearts feel heavy, we know that all of your health issues, your pain and your darkness will now turn to running, swimming endless walks, endless milk bones and CHEESE.
Each morning we light your candle, jiggle your collar, hug your bed and let out a healthy rooooo, before we start our day. All through the day we are reminded of you, like when the sun peaks through the clouds, Kaelin blows you a kiss. When we lay on the red rugs we make sure they stay in place so that you will find your place in space. You always amazed us with your sense of space while having no sight. The "bing" of a stainless bowl, the dance without the "hug" and of course the empty space where you loved to lay.
Each nite we pray that you have caught our many kisses as we blow out the candle and we take you to bed in our hearts, minds and dreams.
A huge piece of our small family and our daily routine has been altered. We now and forever hold on to only your soul as a tear is shed. Each and every day we cling ever so tightly to your big bouvier heart, never to let go, never to forget and always to remember our loving Bubba Bear.
Big Bubba Bear Hugs and Kisses,
Bill, Kelly & Kaelin
We miss and love you dearly

Ebony, 01/15/94-03/05/07
Precious girl, my sweet, sweet Ebby. I know
you're in
that wonderful place just waiting for me. And I know you're
having fun
woofing at the wind and anything that moves! Did you find Buddy
right away?
I know both of you are checking out every single person who
comes anywhere
near that Bridge, anticipating and hoping that it's your turn to
lead 'your
people' across the Bridge.
I wish I could say I'm ok down here without you, but the truth
is that
even though it's been 7 months since you left me standing there
cradling
you in my arms, my heart still breaks every time I think of you.
Every
time I drive by the house where you were born, my mind's eye
pictures you
running out of that dog house with your 10 brothers and sisters
- and you
the only one yapping and raising a ruckus.
I can still 'see' you running right up to me and when I scooped
you up
into my arms it was the beginning of the most wonderful
friendship I've
ever known.
You will always be my sweet Spotted White Paw and you will
always be my
dearest, most treasured friend. I love you so much and I can't
wait either
little girl!
With all my love, and all my heart,
Mama

Ebony, 09/01/07
I lost you today, and what a loss it is. I got you from a breeder and really you picked us, you wouldn't leave us alone you wanted to be part of our family. Really you were our first child. We took you everywhere you got to go camping do overnights at grandmas, the works. Then we had a child of our own you were 8 almost 9 so an old girl by doggy standards.People said things like " You have a rottweiller,I would get rid of her,not a good breed to have with a child!"But we didn't listen you were always a mild mannered dog and we knew you would stay that way. Really you were too old to enjoy our daughter like you would've when you were younger but you liked to fish with her (you did that today before you passed away)and swim, you used to sleep outside her doorway as well,her little night watchman.You my sweet Eboneezer will be dearly missed and I wish I could've told you goodbye today I went to work and didn't get to, I got a call from Rick letting me know you were gone. So this is my goodbye. I loved you very much!

Hi Ebony...
I miss you so much.
It was very hard to let you go, but we knew it was the right
thing to do
for you.
You were such a great friend and companion to me. It's so hard
to believe
that you're gone, because you were just always supposed to be
there...making
sure everything was okay and protecting us.
I have your pictures where I can see them, so that makes me feel
so much
better. Sean smiles when he sees your picture, and he misses
running around
after you too. Make sure you make friends where you are in
heaven, so that
it doesn't seem to be too long before we get to you. And make
sure you
have your red leash and collar so we can see you.
I think of you everyday, Eb and I miss you more than I can say.
Be a good girl, baby.
I love you, Nicole
Ebony, 05/30/07
To My Dear Ebony
I cannot believe the void that you have left.
We found you as a puppy around the corner from our house and
from that
very first day you were a loyal companion.
I am going to miss you so very much especially in the mornings
to give
you your cookies and at night when I get home from work, you
were always
at the door waiting.
I know in my heart that I could not let you suffer anymore and
that I could
see in your eyes.
I cry everyday for you and will never forget you, you will
always be in
my heart.
You were just like one of my children, I was your mommy for 12
years.
Tango misses you and keeps looking for you.
Sleep peacefully my baby and I will hold you again one day when
you meet
at the rainbow bridge.

Ebony, 11/23/97-05/13/07
For those of you who don't know me or my Ebony,
let me
tell you about her.
She, I believe was more then just a dog, as most danes are.
She was courage for my oldest daughter who was nervous about
driving to
unknown places.
When Ebony callapsed to do a compressed disk, she drove her to
specialists
that were over 2 hours from our home.
My daughter was always afraid to drive on highways due to trucks
mostly.
But she did it for Ebony and never had a fear since.
Ebony was my younger daughter's kindred spirit and theropy dog.
She had spinal surgery 2 years before Ebony.
Ebony was a nervous dog and my daughter had panic attacks, good
pair.
They would always go out together.
It seemed to have cured them both.
Doing local rescue work, Ebony helped me with my dogs then I
care to remember
but never a growl or problem from her.
I always called her my good will ambassador whenever people came
to the
house.
She would lick everyone till you had to stop her.
For me, Ebony was my faithful friend, companion and always
seemed to see
moods in me before I could.
She would actually cry with me through losses in my life, which
I had never
seen tears from a dog before her.
I don't think I would have made it as well through my husband's
passing
without her.
She slept in my bed for 9 years till the arthritis stopped her
from jumping
up a few months ago.
Her eyes would never leave mine when I talked to her, it was
like she had
a humans soul.
I am so thankful that this little pup that was born in a rescue
found me.
I wasn't considering her until she came over and peed on my
shoe.
Guess that was the sign that she marked me for hers.
Thank you Ebony for all you gave us, we'll miss
you and
there will never be another one like you.
Lynn
Ebony, 05/03/07
Ebony I can't believe that you are gone.
Daddy took me to have some tests done this morning and when we
came home
he sat me down to tell me that you had passed away in your
sleep.
I didn't even get a chance to say good-bye.
You weren't even sick Ebby; I wish I would have known if
something was
bothering you but we had the doctor check you and he said you
were healthy.
Why did you leave us so soon?
We had twelve beautiful years with you; you were a joy to us and
Toby,
Candy, Lacey and Zoe miss you.
You have left a void in our hearts and will always be thought of
and missed.
You have now crossed over the Rainbow Bridge and have joined
your other
sisters and brothers who have passed before you.
Someday we will see you again Ebby; don't be afraid because
Mommy is always
with you.
Yesterday Daddy picked up your ashes so you can be with us in
spirit forever.....We
all love you so much and miss you.
Please kiss Kasey for us when you see her.
Love Mommy, Daddy, Kim, Kristen, Deanna and your furbaby family......
Ebony, 11/15/05-04/21/07
My precious girl Ebony,
When I woke up Saturday morning and found you laying on your
side with
labored breathing and that glazed look in your beautiful eyes I
knew something
was terribly wrong. When I rushed you to the doctor I had no
idea it would
end up being our good by. The Doctor wanted to run some tests on
you so
we would know what the next step would be. He told me to go home
and he
would call me within a couple of hours with the results. I
thought you
would somehow be treated and be able to come home with me soon.
I got a
call about 45 minutes later and the doctor told me when they
started you
on the IV fluids and began to prepare you for x-rays you went
into cardiac
arrest. The doctor called and told me I needed to get back there
immediately,
as he didn't think you would make it much longer. The x-rays
showed a mass
inside your tummy. I felt like it was my fault for not knowing
sooner,
but he said there would have been no way to tell. We had fun at
doggie
park last week, and I will never forget that. I have been crying
since
you left me. I miss you so very much my black beauty! Thank you
forever
for the 11 1/2 marvelous years you dedicated to me. My heart is
broke in
half and I can hardly think straight. I feel lost, and there is
a huge
void where my precious lady Ebony use to lay. Oh my Lord please
help me...I
am hurting so bad! The grief is unbearable. I was numb and in
disbelief
that you would be taken from me so abruptly, and now it is
sinking in that
you are really gone. I didn't know you were sick until it was
too late.
I am sorry honey. Just before your last breath, you looked up
directly
into my eyes as if you were telling me good by. That picture of
your pretty
face will stay in my mind forever.
My heart and arms ache for you. You will always be my girl you
beauty,
and we will meet again one day. I thank the Lord for giving me
the honor
to know you and for your gift of unconditional love.
Thank you for allowing me to be me to be your mom. You were a
perfect dog!
Watch for me in heaven baby...I'll meet you at the bridge. Until
we meet
again my luv, forever, Mommy.
Ebony, 10/10/91-04/23/07
Dearest Ebony,
We were blessed to have you in our lives for 15 plus years. You
gave us
so much and never asked for anything. We miss you so much it
hurts to breathe.
I know you are in a better place; a place where you are no
longer hurting;a
place where you can run as fast as you can, play ball again like
you used
to and eat as much food as you want. I hope that you know how
much we love
you and miss you. How I wish you could have been with us
forever. But God
doesn't give us that much time. You leaving us only makes us
realize how
much you gave us in your life. And now, the memories of you will
have to
be enough. So dear Ebony, know that no matter what you are doing
up there
in doggie heaven, that we are thinking about you and loving you
with all
our hearts. Until we see you again...
Nelda, Tom and Jackie
Ebony, 04/08/07
Our time was too short my sweet Ebony, my beautiful boy. I'll never forget how you touched me. I know you are happy and playing with your brother, but I miss you so. Thank you for spending your life with me.
Merry Wright
Ebony, 12/23/06
My little sweet, so sadly missed, nothing is the
same
now you have gone. I hope you know that putting ou to sleep was
because
we love you so much and couldnt stand the thought of you
suffering, am
I sorry there was notinhg else we could have done to help you.
We will never forget your bright eyes, and special character.
Look forward to being with you again one day. Love you lots.
Gemma McIlveney
Ebony Delilah, 05/29/07
I hope that you are at peace now.
I will miss you so very very much.
You really were truly a best friend, and I'm finding it hard to
believe
that you're gone.
You'll always be the baby girl, mommie girl, pup, and our Ebbie.
Make lots of friends where you are and make sure that you have
your red
leash so that we recognize you when we see you again one day.
I love you, Ebony.

Ebony was part of my feral cat colony.
They had to move when we did almost a year ago, to protect them
from neighbors
who said they would harm them. Ebony's final months were in an
enclosure
I built for him, his father Midnight and a friend Princess.
Ebony was TNR'd several years ago and was a loyal companion of
his dads.
While he would never allow me to touch him, we held mutual
fondness from
afar.
Ebony, you helped to show the world that a TNR
feral can
be a great neighbor.
I loved you very much and will miss you!
Don't be afraid of anyone at the bridge, you can live in Peace
there dear
friend.
Maybe one day when I arrive I can finally hold you in my arms!

In loving memory of my sweet little Tortie
Dortie. She
was my little rose, my baby, my precious one. Echo was a blue
tortoiseshell
cat
given as
a late birthday gift , an "Echo".
She slept in my arms at night and seldom left my side during the
day. It's
only now having found this site that I can put into words my
feelings at
losing her. Thankyou for this blessed service. You cannot know
how much
it has helped me. I know she waits for me there, bless you my
little darling
. Not Farewell just Au Revoir . Rest in Peace until we meet
again

It is with a profoundly heavy heart that I inform you of Eclipse's death January 3, 2007.
Through the years, I have read the beautiful,
heart-felt
eulogies of many a SAR (search and rescue) pup and felt the
handler's pain
and wondered how they were able to compose such meaningful works
of their
partner's life and experiences.
Today, I find myself struggling to capture the essence of
Eclipse and what
he brought not only to our family but community without
boundaries.
His gentle, yet vibrant brightness brought hope, answers,
enlightenment
and comfort to so many.
We marveled at the pride and sense of community ownership among
our friends,
fellow emergency responders,
veterinarians, grocers, pharmacists, churches, schools, scouts
and all
who encountered his magical ways.
I cannot count the doors opened and opportunities
created
by Eclipse's existence.
Our family is so much richer for the time he shared with us.
We are grateful that his suffering was only a matter of a few
hours and
not days and weeks of misery and uncertainty.
Though I was his handler, Eclipse and our son Jeffrey were truly
buds.
Eclipse was his healthy, active self throughout Jeffrey's
Christmas leave
from the Air Force.
Early on the third, Jeffrey loved him and kissed him goodbye.
I really think Eclipse then knew his time had come.
He also had a very special bond with my mother who lost the
battle with
Alzheimer's a few years ago.
She spoke only words without meaning to all of us, but when
Eclipse sat
at her side, paw in her lap, she spoke to him with perfectly
appropriate
loving phrases.
We can only hope and assume that Eclipse and my mother can once
again can
share endless times of delight, both now in God's caring hands.
We will love you endlessly precious "Clippers."
Your legacy shall live on in SAR pups yet to come.
Jan
Ed, 04/06/99-05/12/07
We love you very, very much!
You will forever be in our hearts and minds!
You are not in pain anymore and you're playing with other cats
until we
get to the bridge to be with you.
We will see you someday!

Eddie, 11/12/07
Eddie was a member of our family and had to be
put to
sleep yesterday.
He was the family dog for my mother, sister, and myself.
We all used to live together, but my sister and I are now
married and Eddie
had lived with my mother for years.
He was her protector and most faithful companion.
My sister and I found him at a local shelter when I was in my
early 20s.
In his own way he helped me through a divorce and was just the
kindest,
sweetest
dog you would ever meet.
We had 15 good years with him.
Goodbye Eddie.
We all miss you.
Robin Owens
Eddie, 04/18/97-09/14/07
Eddie was always a puppy.
He never grew out of chewing or jumping or just that puppy
excitement.
He lived in a wonderful backyard, large and full of fun things
to do.
He never held a grudge.
He was delighted to greet me, always.
He was My Eddie.
When he escaped from his backyard he just made the neighborhood
rounds.
His life was diverse but confined.
Eddie was the savior when a divorce severed our family.
He bound us together with his continuous delight for life.
He left behind a spot nothing can fill.
He will be always a treasured piece in this family's puzzle.
Lessons he taught us were valuable: patience, perseverance and
continuous
and unconditional devotion.
I thank God for the opportunity I had to share his life.
Patti Hays
Eddie, 04/08/97-08/24/07
Eddie,
You were a great part of my life and your four-legged sister,

I will miss you greatly.
You were extremely laid back and special to all that knew you.
You will always be in my memory.

Eddie, 11/28/98-01/18/07
It is with a very heavy heart that I inform those who read this, that on January 18th, 2007, my family and I had to say good-bye to our dog, Eddie. She had been developing strange bumps on her body and a recent test by the vet had diagnosed her with some form of cancer. The cancer had already begun to spread through her body, and although we were given the option of drugs, it would have just prolonged the inevitable. It was incredibly painful to watch her leave this planet.But she went peacefully and quietly in the arms of my mom and wrapped up in one of her favorite blankets. It was very heart wrenching when my mom took her collar off and picked her leash up from the floor. Just knowing I'll never hold her in my arms sucks. At least now, she is no longer in pain and probably very happy where ever she is right now.
To me, that little dog was everything. Trash digger, cat poo eater, endless hours of belly rubs, a sweet comfort, a good listener, a kind heart, barker of anything that moves in the yard, begger of food, foot biter of anyone who didn't give her food, she was my puppy. I miss her terribly, and it breaks my heart into a million pieces when I walk in the front and she's not there to great me with a wagging tail and this little "Woo-woo" growling noise she made when she was happy. She helped provide countless happy and funny memories I will always cherish in my heart. I swear at nigth when I'm lying in bed I hear the noise her collar makes when she walks around the house. No dog will ever be able to replace her. She was a spunky little dog with a huge personality. She has meant more to me then almost any human I know. Eddie was somewhat of a little, hairy, 4 legged sister to me. I miss her. She lived a very lovely life. And I am grateful to have been blessed with such a sweet little dog. I am very thankful to have had her.

I will love you forever.

We cannot imagine a better dog- a better friend.
Always there when we needed you- it was impossible to remain sad
in your
presence.
You brought humor, love, and loyalty to our home and we will
always, always
love you, our dear friend and companion.
Love you puppy.

He was my good buddy.When I found a bunch of puppies abandoned on the road, he took over after their Mom died, taking care of them.The one puppy I kept became his lifelong friend. He would sleep with my cats and was kind and loving to all little animals.

Oh, My Baby Girl, My Edison,
I don't even know how to say Goodbye to someone
that has
been such a vital part of every detail of our lives.
You have always been a great joy to us.
We were not expecting this outcome.
I remember the first time I picked you up.
What a chin kisser.
That was always your place, so friendly, so happy and so very
sensitive
to our every need.
What a wonderful companion!
But I also know how you never got over Einstein
leaving
for the Bridge last year.
We understand just how dependent you were on him.
The fight was long and hard and you fought valiantly.
You were so tired.
So, please rest now.
I know that Einstein met you at the Bridge.
What a grand reunion!
Now you two can run together again, with you bouncing like a
calf.
I am sure that Einstein will take over the role of Big Brother
again and
show you around.
He taught you when you two were here, and He will teach you
there. Please
give him a chin kiss for me.
Even Doctor Tucker was heartbroken.
She said many times what an awesome dog you were.
I am going to say "How very loved you are by everyone that got
the
pleasure of knowing you."
Love you,
Mom, Dad, Mark and the rest of the gang...Joshua, JR, Jordann, Angela and Jakob

Edward, 07/19/07
I found my little buddy Edward on a very cold
February
day way out in the country of middle Georgia.
He was cold, obviously starving, very stinky & blind in both
eyes.
I am not sure if he was abandoned or simply got lost but the
fact remained
he was in desperate need of help.
He was sitting next to a group of community dumpsters (which no
doubt his
powerful nose led him to in hunger) & as we approached the
4-way stop
I saw him sitting there (so sad looking) & thought, this was
the cutest
dog I had ever seen.
That was 4 1/2 years ago I will forever treasure those years
with my Edward,
the absolute sweetest soul I have ever known.
I miss him so very much & pray that he WILL meet me when I
too have
passed.
I know my pain will eventually subside but I am finding it a
very difficult
process.
My other furbabies, family, friends and my spirituality are all
a great
comfort to me, but this loss seems to have hit me harder than
previous
losses in my life, however I would not trade a single day with
my amazing
find from God.
I feel as though we found each other that day, we both needed
each other
& somehow our paths crossed (almost 2 hours south of where I
live on
that particular day at that particular time)...in my eyes it was
a sort
of miracle.
I am so happy to have found this site as I believe writing to be
a great
comfort in my healing process.
Thank you for reading and I hope among all hopes that you and
any support
you have find strength and comfort in your times of need.
God Bless,
Dave

Effie, 15/12/06
I got Effie from a home when she was between 2 and 3. She was my companion and the greatest friend that you could wish for and was always there for me. I took her nearly everywhere that I went because I wanted her to be with me other than work. Sadly my baby got Diabetes and cataracts which caused her to go blind and then on came Cushings Disease and I had no choice but to put her too sleep no more not seeing and hurting. I miss her like crazy and it hurts so but I know she is now at rest at Rainbow Bridge.Effie my treasure I will always love you and miss you heaps.

Effie Leen Appalachiacola Fallujah Wise Collins, 02/14/97-01/30/07
Effie was found in a box with her brother on someone's Lawn. She fit in my hand, a shaky little dog went from a plam full, to a lap full.
Her name, Effie Leen, was my great-great-grandmother's name, Appalachacola, is a Native American word meaning Land of the Happy People, Fallujha, for all the fallen during the Gulf War. Effie didn't have her name long enough, only 9 years.
She was a great watchdog, little dog, big heart, she guarded us well. She was also a road dog, the car didn't roll without her. She wore her sunglasses well, but she loved her pink doggles, that way she could hang out of the car window with the wind blowing through her hair, and her head up high. She had a wardrobe that anyone would envy.
She could cheer up the hardest sour puss. She would come to you, look up at you, and then turn around so you could pick he up. Her poppy was her biggest fan. He called her pretty girl.
Effie was a pure joy, she came to us after losing our beloved Ceaser, and our hearts were broken, She help to us to heal, she was good medicine!
Dr's said her trachea would collape, it did, commom in small dogs.She went quietly in her poppy's arms. We loved that little pretty girl.
We were so blessed to have had her in our lives.
She helped me to recover after a spinal fusion.

Einstein's Crossing
Oh God, my God,
Into your hands we give to you
This part of us who loved us true
This friend with whom we're sad to part
We surrender with heavy heart
Give him love and food and play
And let him in the warm sun lay
Let his soul live in paradise
Let us someday look in his eyes
For this chance to grieve and cry
And for this chance to say goodbye
For all the time he chose to be
With all of us God we thank thee
It is in Jesus name we pray
And lift to God these words we say
May your love and your comfort be
Oh God my God revealed to me.
Amen.

You know we love you so much and miss you like our child.
If there had been anything we could have done to save you we

We didn't know you were sick until too late.
Your boy Kyle, Mommy, Daddy, and your girl harem, Fanny and

Wait for us in Heaven, and we will be so glad to see you when we

My dear Eli.....Another month has passed since
you left
us on that early Saturday morning.
I now have come to believe that you knew what the future held
and that
it was in everyone's best interest if you simply checked out
early to head
for the Rainbow Bridge.
We miss you every minute of every day.
You were so nice, so cute, so funny and such a Frenchie
gentleman.
We are looking forward to that special day when we will all be
together
again.
Please remember that we will always love you.
Love, Kay, Edi and Erma

Eli M, 05/17/01-01/26/07
Eli was tragically injured by a neighbor dog.
It happened very quickly.
I just had him out, we came back in, then he wanted to go back
outside
to see his best friend, Cookie, the Jack Russell Terrier.
I looked out the window always, and would watch them play.
My neighbor was outside too, so things seemed
fine.
In a matter of minutes, my other neeighbor was ringing my
doorbell to tell
us that Eli got hurt and it was baaaaad.
We carried him in a sling to the house, where he died within that half hour, as he listened to my hubby on the phone.
Eli was so many wonderful things.
A man's best friend.
A lonely grieving persons aid to her grief after the loss of her
Mom.
Eli was such a good boy.
Obedience was hardly ever an issue.
The unconditional love
he showed us was unsurpassed.
Eli was fun to play with, and fun to tease.
We would make him growl for the sake of growling playfully.
We always were informed when the mail was in or the newspaper
delivered.
He warmed all of our laps, legs, thights, and even took over the
bedsheets
at times.
There is a huge, empty, spot in our house and in our hearts
right now.
Things will never be the same.

Elizabeth, 01/10/07
For the short time I have known Elizabeth and her
mommy
Barbara, I have grown to love Elizabeth as my very own.
She was very precious and loving to all that came upon her, and
that includes
me and my husband Jerry.
Elizabeth had those piercing eyes that always said; "hey look at
me,
I am so cute, don't you love me too, like I love you!"
You couldn't help but to wrap your arms around her and never let
her go!
She cocked her head to one side and with those little fluffy
ears and sloothed
foot standing, she was out of this world!
She had one of those special personalities of her very own! No
other dog
could top her, and through my memories of Elizabeth, no other
dog will!
For memories of Elizabeth shall and will never go away for Jerry
and I,
they will always linger in both of our hearts.
She was blind and her hearing wasn't too good, but as far as my
husband
I was concerned ( and still is),"Lizzie was a champion!!!!"
We shall miss her greatly, even her mommy, but her love for
others and
her pure heart will live on!!!!!!!
She was "extremely exceptional!"
Now Lizzie, you see Jesus, hear Jesus' calling and run and catch
that ball
for Jesus also!!
We miss you Liz!!!!!!
Love you much ever,
Linda & Jerry XOXO

My dear Ellie was rescued from the pound at the
age of
4 months.
She was always a gentle soul, extremely affectionate and always
willing
to lend an ear to listen to.
On the 27th December, she began to get sick, and
was taken
to the Vets, whereupon I was told that she was suffering from
kidney failure.
I visited my dear girl every day, and each day she seemed to get
a little
better, until the morning of Jan 2nd.
I visited my baby for the last time, and brought her home.
She came home and saw everything again for the last time, and I
had to
take her back to the Vets.
She lay quietly in my arms as they put her to sleep.
Ellie was, and always will be, my best friend.
Dear Ellie, I know yu're always with me, and one day we will
meet together
on the Bridge.
Until that day, my sweet girl, please be safe.

To our sweet Ellie Mae...you weren't with us
nearly long
enough and the early diagnosis of your kidney disease broke all
of our
hearts.
But you rallied and stayed with us as long as your body would
let you.
I am so grateful that you came into our lives, and I would adopt
you all
over again, even knowing how it would turn out.
You were the perfect dog (except for those kidneys).
Run free sweet girl.
It gives me comfort to know you're no longer in pain...but I
miss you so
much it hurts.

Elliot, 08/23/07
My sweet Elliott:
On 8/23/07, I had to reluctantly help you to the rainbow bridge.
This saddend me terribly.
I miss those tiny white tips of your paws and the small white
spot on your
mouth-it made you look like you had just finished a bowl of
milk.
You were such a good companion and friend for (I think) 14
years.
Your love for me never faded, your trust was always there-no
matter what.
You were always there waiting for me to love you.
You have been through some tough times with me and I thank you
for your
unconditional love and support during those times. I just wish
that I could
have helped you through your toughest time, at the end. I am so
sorry that
I did not know you were as ill.Something happened and your liver
failed
you. If I could trade places with you and you would have a good
home, I
surely would in a minute.
My only comfort is knowing that you are now with your friend and
mine (Earnhardt)
that went to the rainbow bridge on 3/19/03.
Both of you were so special, most people do not understand the
love between
animals and people, (how unfortunate for them) but you gave me
so many
reasons to love you and so much joy--how could I not.
I truly hope that you heard and understood what I was telling
you before
you left for the bridge, how much I loved you and why I was
helping you
go.
There are very few people that understand what a terrible
decision and
act that is to have to do.
But I can only hope and pray that you are happy and well with
Earnhardt
there and that you will both wait for me because I will love you
both forever.
Frank, Otis and especially Newman miss you also.
I believe Newman is taking it worse than the other two because
he has no
one but me now.
I have to try to find a way to help him get passed this and
hopefully he
can do the same for me.
Blessed Elliott, please know that I loved you so--but probably
did not
show it as much as I should have.
I should have devoted more time for you, I should have done many
things
differently, I see that now.
I ask your forgiveness and hope and pray that I truly will be
with you
and Earnhardt at the Rainbow Bridge someday.
I am hoping that you suffer no more, that you are warm and
healthy and
happy.
Please, know that I loved you very much and am sorry for what I
had to
do, but I loved you and did not want to see you suffer.
I am looking forward for the day that we will all be together
again.
Take care and God bless.
Love you always, your mommy, Sheila Smith
Elliot, 06/18/07
You were so much of our lives, Elliot, and our
hearts
ache for you already.
You were my very best friend, through thick and thin, and I will
pray for
you every day, for your love to me during my time of
illness--you were
always right there next to me, licking away my tears, sitting
quietly next
to me, just being there.
We will miss you but we know you are running free and at the end
of Rainbow
Bridge waiting for us to be with you forever.
I know it will not be long till we can be together
again, so please wait by that bridge for us.
We love you so very much, Elliot, please wait for us, and be
happy, we
love you.

My first bestfriend was lost in 2003, Earnhardt.
His buddy Elliott stayed behind and grieved with me, faithfully.
Dearest Elliott, I am so sorry I had to put you down on 8/23/07.
Next to losing your friend Earnhardt, this was the hardest thing
in my
life that I have ever had to do.
I would like to thank you, my dearest Elliott for standing by me
through
thick and thin through all the good and bad times in my life.
I am so sorry that I did not know you were ill sooner.
I am so sorry that I wasn't a better mommy and maybe I could
have saved
you.
You were so loving to everyone and so faithful to me there would
be no
way I could ever repay you for that, except give you peace. Now
your friend
Newman and I have to go on without you here in this world.
There may not be anymore kitties in my life since I find it hard
to say
goodbye when they are called to the rainbow bridge. Please know
that I
loved you dearly and should have taken more time to show you
that, but
it is always too late when we realize that. Life will go on
somehow, I
have no choice.
People that do not understand losing a pet/bestfriend have
apparently never
found the right one.
You and Earnhardt will always have a special place in my heart.
Please say hello to Earnhardt for me and play with him and
PLEASE wait
for me at the rainbow bridge as I can only live for the day that
we will
be together again.
I love you so much, thank you for being my "baby" for 14 years.
I hope that you heard and understood what I told you before you
passed--please
wait for me as I long to hold you both again.
My love for your will never fade nor be replaced.
I only hope that you found some joy in your life with me before
you became
ill.
I will remember you forever.
I love you dearly.
Goodbye my sweet Elliott, your mommy, Sheila Smith
Elliott, 08/23/07
Oh My Sweet Elliott. Your independence made me love you so much when I rescued you. I know how hard you suffered with your lung problems. I hope you felt safe and loved, and now you can rest easy, Little Man. I love you Elliott and your brother misses you. Love Momma

Elliott, 09/01/07
My beloved Elliott,
You were pure love. Big,sweet boy.
I'm hurting so much without you.
My arms are empty, because you had to go on without me.
My snuggle buddy is gone, and I'm so lost without you.
Some would say you were only a cat. But really,
you were
so much more than that.
The love and trust in your eyes touched my soul. I know you
needed to go,
but I find myself wishing you could come back, to purr and talk
and love
the way you did.
You're always loved and missed.
Mom
Elliott, 02/91-07/20/07
Elliot, we miss you terribly. You brought joy,
love, wonder,
and companionship to our lives. Watching the things that you
learned to
do that no other cat ordinarily does was amazing. We learned as
much with
and about you as you did us. You gave us over 16 years of
pleasure and
I am grateful for each minute. We love you very much and hope
that you
are playing like a kitten again and waiting for us.

My best friend of 17 1/2 years, dear precious
Elliott.
Your tired old kitty body finally gave out and I had to be brave
and help
you go back to God who gave you to me to love and care for so
long ago.
My heart and arms still ache for you, but I know you are no
longer suffering.
We will be together again, and spend eternity with Christ.
I love and miss you so much.
Debbie
Ellis, 07/21/91-02/22/07
Ellis - no words can do justice to the joy you
have brought
us for the last 15 1/2 years.
I will miss your beautiful brown face & loving eyes,
throwing rocks
for you in the river and your unquestionable faithful
companionship.
You did nothing but bring us happiness, smiles and laughter -
and we thank
you for making our lives better.
There will not be a day that goes by that we will
not
think of you.
We love you.

Elmo was a very happy loving baby.
When he wanted to play ball nothing would stop him. We would
throw the
ball for hours. The chipmunks and the squirrels will also miss
him, now
they can get to the bird feeders. We sure do miss you Elmo, the
house is
so quiet. We say good morning to you and good night to you now
every day.
The flowers will always bloom for you. love dad, mom, Tasha and
Tom
Rest in peace my little boy.

Elmo, 09/07/07
Elmo was the greatest little buddy anyone could
have!
Elmo always had a smile on his face!
He always drew out the best in people.
The little "Dude" just had that way about him!
Even the gruffest of people (strangers and all) couldnt help but
smile.
You will be missed Elmo, but always fondly remembered!!!!!
Leann
Elmo, 09/04/07
Elmo was a wonderful part of our family. He
brought a
lot of joy to us over the years.
He was a great cat who required little maintenance. As long has
he had
food, clean litter box and the occasional scratch beind the
ears, he was
content. Elmo loved to drink out of any open cup or glass that
containted
liquid. He also loved to play with ribbons and string and would
drag pieces
behind himself as he tried to watch. Just last week, he played
with a plastic
packing strap from a box.
He loved to sleep on his back.
Elmo usually slept with my daughter.
When he passed away yesterday, my boyfirend built
Elmo
a wooden box and dug a deep hole in the back yard to bury him.
The entire household (including the other four legged kids) had
a chance
to say good bye.
I hope he knew and knows how loved and missed he is! Elmo will always be in our hearts and part of our family.

Our dog Elmo died of the pet food that got recalled this year. He died on the 9th of march and the recall was the 16th of march. He was the best dog ever. He was a male full grown rotty and was the best,I cry every night about him. I always wish he would come back. He wasn't feeling good and my family went out to eat. I had to babysit for my Aunt Michelle and I gave Elmo a kiss on the nose told him I loved him and promised to see him and play w/him when I got home. Well It didn't happen b/c he died before my family got home. I never got to say goodbye. My grandma went to the house and helped with everything but it wont ever be the same. Rest in peace Elmo. We love you!!!

Elmo was the best pet we could have ever asked
for.
I miss him terribly but take comfort in knowing that he's no

pain or suffering.

It has been a year now since my precious Elmo
left this
earth for the bridge and I miss him terribly. He was my best
friend and
I was his.
He got terribly sick and I tried to help him, but I couldn't.
There are still days I wish I could die just to be with him, but
he would
want me to go on.
I love him with my whole heart and always will.
He was the best little puppy you could ever wish for, he
captured everyones
heart that he met.
He is truly missed by all and hopefully will be waiting for me
at the bridge.
I miss you Elmo and I hope you know that.
Love, mom.

Elsa, 17/03/07
Dearest Elsa, My Pookie, Little Tiger, Top Cat - I miss you so very very much and hope I made the right decision. To see you pass that way hurts me so much. 3 trusted Vets advised the treatment was a long shot and I wanted to exhaust all options before taking the euthanasia path. Please know that I did it in the hope that you would get better and never expected your passing to be so quick nor so distressing for both of us. Please forgive me. I hope you enjoy your time at the Bridge and you can introduce yourself to Kimmy, Peter, Bluey, Peter, Bill, Ben, Sandy & Smokey and give them a purr and a rub for me - I'm sure you'll love them as much as I did and continue to. I'll see you again some time in the future and we can have lots of cuddles, chin tickles, rubs and purrs just like the old times. Love always your Dad.
Elsa, 04/17/98-01/26/03

A very special little stray tortoiseshell kitten that we had at home with us for a few precious weeks over Christmas before I rehomed her with my nephew and his girlfriend. She had a number of happy weeks with them before suffering from a sudden severe stomach problem and the vet recommending her to be put to sleep.I just wish I could have had her home with me after her passing so that I could bury her in my garden, but that wasn't to be. We all miss you Elsa Pella, you touched our lives in a huge way x Now waiting at the Rainbow Bridge with Elmyra Aurora (passed 1 March 2003). Love and kisses from Mummy Jennie, Amber and Sasha Starkey x & felines Portia,Liption,Lapis,Maximus,Binka Bourbon,Blossom Bijou,Ffion and Baby Baboushka x x x x x x x x

You were so misunderstood. You were Mommys girl. You really didnt care for alot of people but that only was after you Daddy left us and you seemed no to really trust after that. I miss you so much. You are gone but never, ever will be forgotten. I love you, my lady!
Debbie
Elsie, 09/07/07
Elsie was rescued from a bad situation and when
she came
to my home grew to be a dog who was the most loving, goofiest
and sweetest
dog in the world.
Although she didn't like many people -- she reserved her love
only for
those people that she really knew -- if she loved you, there
wasn't anything
she wouldn't do for you.
She was the best friend, most loyal companion and bravest
protector a woman
could want.
I will miss her terribly and hope that she is now running wild
and free
with Merlin, Bronwyn and Danu, and waiting for me at the Rainbow
Bridge.

Tammy
Elvis, 08/22/07
I rescued you from an abusive home, at 5 weeks old you saw more sadness than you should have. I only knew you one short week, but I did everything in my heart to show you how much I loved you. I wish we could have spent more of our lives together, but one day I will see you again my sweet angel puppy.
Melissa
Elvis, 04/21/97-08/22/07
Elvis - You were the most wonderful dog any mom
could
ever want for her family. You were gentle and sweet, and you
were always
a GOOD DOG.
We love you and we miss you more than we ever thought we could.
We know
we will see you again, because anyone who is loved as much as
you are will
be with us in heaven. We did our best and tried everything to
get rid of
that cancer, but you only lived for two months after you were
diagnosed,
and that was with every kind of chemo known. I hope you are up
there running
through a warm sunny field, catching rabbits and eating sticks
of butter.
We miss you.
Dan, Pam, Bob, Mandi, Zack and Your Brother Rocco Borvan
Elvis, 08/14/07
Elvis, I know you've only been gone for a day, but I miss you already. I really wish you could have left this world peacefully, but I'm glad you are not in pain anymore. I hope you understand that I was there with you through everything. We miss you so much and many people have cried for you. I hope to see you again Elvis Pelvis! xoxox love always!
Melissa
Elvis, 06/24/07
Elvis was more then a little dog. He was a little dog with a big personality and heart. He would always go with me to work on every Friday morning to Coles Nursing Home in Guthrie, Ok. He wasn't just my dog, he was everyones dog. He had so many different names by the residents. He was a great joy to everyone he met. The bank tellers couldn't wait until Friday either. They were excited to see Elvis come through the drive through. Elvis is going to be miss dearly, not just by his family, but the whole community here in Guthrie, Ok. Elvis, we will always love you.

Elvis, 06/03/07-06/12/07

Elvis, 03/19/07
Elvis was a true and loyal friend.
He was our best friend.
He was a great listner.
Was great with kids. When Elvis was 13 years old we had a baby.
(we got
Elvis when he was just a few months old.) He immediately took to
her.
I guess you could say he welcomed her with open paws. We
couldn't have
asked for a better friend/pet. Elvis will never be forgotton.
He will remain in our thoughts and prayers until we meet again!
Jerry, Kim, Emma and Vinnie (Elvis' Buddy and Family Pet)

She was my baby girl, I raised her from 4 weeks old when she fit into my palm. Now she is gone and I miss her terribly.
Elizabeth Chapman

Elvis was the perfect companion for 16 1/2 years. He was a tough little guy to the very end. The joy and love he brought into my life can not be described. And the void he has left is impossible to express.
Sonia Rodriguez
Elvis, 04/20/02-01/13/07
Dear Elvis,
You were the best dog I could ever have.
I love you more than words can even describe.
You are my best friend.
I¡¯m sorry that we didn¡¯t get more time together.
I knew eventually we would have to say goodbye, but I never
thought it
would be so soon and unexpected.
I hope that you had a great life.
I tried my best to raise you in a good place.
My favorite part of every day was falling asleep next to you at
night and
waking up with you in the morning.
I loved to scratch your stomach while you fell asleep.
This morning when I woke up you weren¡¯t there.
My home was where you were, and now I am lost.
I know that your amazing soul is still with me.
You are a part of my personality and you will live on in my
heart.
Hopefully someday you and I will be together
again in
Heaven.
I pray to God that I will get to be with you again.
I know that you are in a better place.
I hope it is even more fun than you had during your short time
with me
and everyone else here that loves you.
I hope there are open fields with plenty of big sticks and more
tennis
balls than you could ever imagine.
I hope there is lots of water for you to swim in.
I hope that you, Pepper, and all the other doggies are having
fun playing
together.
I hope the grass is green, the water blue, and the rain
refreshing.
I hope that there are plenty of people there to watch over you
until I
meet you again.
You always hated to be away from your daddy.
I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m not there with you, puppy.
Elvis, you taught me a lot about responsibility,
loyalty,
fun, life, and love.
In the end I feel like I let you down, and I¡¯m sorry.
You trusted me to protect you and I failed.
That is another valuable lesson that you taught me.
I knew from the moment I met you that we were
meant to
be together.
I¡¯ve never felt so sure about anything in my life.
What I love about you most is your soul, and that can never be
destroyed.
You were always happy especially when you were with me, which
made me happy
too.
You were incredibly intelligent.
I loved to scratch behind your ears and pet your head.
I loved to cuddle with you and kiss your snout.
I loved it when we fell asleep together on my bed, my arm around
you and
your head nestled on my chest.
I loved it when you tilted your head when I spoke to you.
I loved when I looked into your beautiful brown eyes and somehow
felt that
you understood what I said.
These are the good times I will never forget and those are just
a few of
the memories that cannot be replaced.
You are one-of-a-kind and a very special dog,
Elvis¡and
a very very good boy.
You were a pleasure to be around and many people loved you, even
your dog
hair.
It is your unconditional love and happiness that makes our
hearts smile.
One thing you were especially good at was making friends.
I want you to know that they all love you too and that they will
miss you
greatly.
You made a lot of people really happy just by being you.
There are a lot of people who have called to say
goodbye
and some have even sent flowers, but unfortunately nothing can
bring you
back to me.
My only regret is that we didn¡¯t grow up more together.
I had always planned to buy you a house with a big yard and a
doggy-door.
I¡¯m sure you would have been great with kids and a family.
There is nothing I would have changed about you or our
relationship. When
we met each other, you were the best thing that could have
happened to
me at that point in my life, and you will continue to be an
enormous part
of me.
You and I have a bond that even death cannot break.
Thank you for being such an outstanding and
special dog.
You brought me a kind of joy that I didn¡¯t even know existed.
It was a pleasure to be in your life even if it was cut short.
I will miss you for the rest of my life.
For now, continue to be a good boy and wait for
me Elvis.
When I get to the bridge, I want you to be the first to run to
me and give
me a big kiss.
Stay strong and happy knowing that we will eventually be
together forever.
I want you to know that you are not alone and I will be with you
in your
heart as you are in mine.
I can¡¯t protect you anymore, but you¡¯re a big boy now so I know
you will
be ok.
Elvis, never forget that I love you with all my heart and more.
Always remember the good times we had together.
Thank you again for being such an amazing dog and for making me
feel like
the proudest dad ever.
Keep your tail wagging.
With my deepest love until our paths cross again in the big pasture in the sky,
Your Dad, best friend, and soulmate,
-- Tim
Elvis Bleu Addison, 08/96-12/06/07
Elvis was my best friend.
He was very special and smart.
He could do many tricks.
He won the title of "porch dog of the year" in Blue Ridge
Georgia
in 1999.
He made me so happy.

Elvis Luna, 12/11/99-08/16/07
Dear Lord, please open your gates and call St.

to come escort Elvis, my beloved companion, across the Rainbow
Bridge.
Let him remember me and let him know that I will always love
him.
Yoli Luna
Elvis Martin, 05/17/07
Elvis came to us Halloween 2006,
His previous family took good care of him.
Elvis needed a family with lots of love and we were very happy
to love
him.
Elvis also had a brother, Woody.
They were great pals. Elvis had sister Lulu, too.
She tried to be his boss, but he smiled at her and continued on.
Elvis
would always keep Woody company while Lulu chased squirels.
Elvis was the
best brother they could ever have had.
Elvis was beautiful and loyal and everything a special boy could
be.
Elvis will forever be in our memories. Elvis was a happy doggie.
Elvis
didn't ask for much.
Just food and a soft toy for his mouth. We made a choice we hope
was right.
We believe we did what was best for Elvis even if it hurts us.
Elvis is
not in pain anymore. We will always miss him and love him,
forever. Until
we meet again...We love you Elvis.
Nancy Martin and Lauralee Hansen
Elvis The King Shipman, 04/01/91-01/08/07
The king has left, but not my heart, I miss him
so, that
loyal look of love, the kisses, the tail wagging , just happy to
see me.
I walk in the back door where he has greeted me for 15 years,
and can't
bear that my friend is not there. He was raised with our 2 kids,
and has
left a huge hole in my heart, and look forward to seeing him on
the bridge
again someday. I love you boy

Elvis TommyIII Martinez- McKinney, 10/15/94-12/30/06
BABY-ELVIS-ANGEL, SINCE DAY ONE I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF YOU AS MY VERY BEST FRIEND, THE KIND THAT WOULD NEVER STRAY OR BETRAY. I ALSO THOUGHT OF YOU AS MY LITTLE BABY, I FELT LIKE I HAD TO PROTECT YOU WITH EVERYTHING I HAD IN ME. NOW HERE I AM A YEAR LATER LIVING WITHOUT YOU AND COUNTING THE DAYS TO WHEN I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. THAT LAST NIGHT THAT I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS,I FELT THAT YOU WERE SLIPPING AWAY FROM ME AND THAT REALLY TORE ME UP. IT STILL DOES, I REMEMBER EVERYTHING, AND, NOT A SINGLE DAY PASSES THAT I DON'T FEEL THE PAIN. IT STARTS THE SECOND I WAKE UP AND LASTS ALL DAY. THAT LAST NIGHT I BEGGED YOU TO STAY WITH ME, I KNEW DEEP DOWN THAT YOU WOULDN'T BUT I HELD ON TO HOPE. IT WAS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH, ALL THE FAITH, HOPE, IT JUST WASN'T ENOUGH. SO NOW ALMOST A YEAR LATER, I WAKE UP WISHING THAT YOU WERE HERE WITH ME, BUT THEN I REMEMBER THAT YOU WERE IN PAIN AND TIRED AND I HAD TO LET YOU GO TO SLEEP FOR ALL ETERNITY. THIS YEAR IS GOING TO MARK ONE YEAR THAT I HAD TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU, MY BEST FRIEND, MY BABY. HOW I LONG YOU HOLD YOU. HOW I LONG TO SEE A TRAIL OF BEENIE BABIES ON THE FLOOR. HOW I LONG TO GO TO SLEEP KNOWING THAT YOU WOULD JUMP ON THE BED AND SNUGGLE WITH ME AND FALL ASLEEP IN THE CROOK OF MY ARM. HOW I LONG TO HAVE YOU KNOCK EVRYTHING OFF MY NIGHTTABLE AND TURN MY ALARM CLOCK WHEN YOU THINK I NEED TO STAY HOME WITH YOU AND SLEEP LATE. YOU, BABY ELVIS-ANGEL WERE THE MOST SPECIAL AND THE ONLY THAT I COULD TRULY CALL A FRIEND. OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE KNOWN IN THIS WORLD, IT WAS YOU THAT ALWAYS STAYED BY MY SIDE. FOR THAT I THANK YOU WITH ALL OF ME. I LOVE YOU WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE LEFT OF MY HEART,YOU TOOK THE REST OF ME WITH YOU. I'LL ALWAYS MISS YOU BABY-ELVIS-ANGEL, BUT NOT FOREVER, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. DONT BE A STRANGER BABY ELVIS-ANGEL, COME VISIT ME IN MY DREAMS.MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR BABY ELVIS-ANGEL, ITS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU. I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU BABY ELVIS ANGEL.

Emilee had been with us since she was 8 weeks old, she was our first "baby". We can't imagine a day without her. For our kids sake, she hung on until after Christmas, then she let us know it was time. Emilee will forever be in our thoughts and prayers. We look forward to the day we can once again go exploring at the beach together with her soggy tennis ball and "setter smile".

Emily, 07/08/07
Emily was an abandoned little Calico cat who came to live on my porch. She would not stay inside and so I built her a little home and she lived happily with me for several years on my porch. She meant a lot to me. One day she vanished. Its been two and a half weeks and I still look for her. Im afraid she has passed away and I miss her terribly.I will always love and remember her.
Carl Teska
Emily, 03/17/93-06/04/07
Emily was my diva princess house kitty who loved me so graciously. I loved breathing in through her fur and smelling the freshness and feeling the warmth from her fur when she'd just be done snoozing on a windowsill. Rubbing her tummy and watching her stretch and hearing her purr was the most healing tonic I have found. Her life has left mine forever better.
Lisa Vossler
Emily, 01/15/96-05/09/07
Emily,
You made my life a better place.
Since the day I brought you home 11 years ago you made me smile
every day,
I loved you more then I ever imagined.
You watched my neice and nephew grow from little babbies and
were always
there to catch them with your strong back if ever then
stumbled...you were
their nana.
You were always there for me and any animal or child in need.
I will meet you at the rainbow bridge,
I love you honey!

A wonderful and beautiful cat who was one of a kind and out of the ordinary. She loved and was very deeply loved, I hope her last moments spent on this earth were full of love and that she passed away peacefully. I can not wait to see you again, my precious Emily.

Emma, 12/20/07
Oh, Emma, my heart is breaking.
I want to thank you for all the love you gave me and for
teaching me the
lesson of vulnerability and unconditional love.
I grieve for your suffering and would do anything to have taken
it away.
I wish I would have let you have ice cream, I wish I would have
held you
all night, and you know I would have if I had known it was going
to be
your last.
Most of all I just want to look in to your sweet, sweet face and
tell you
I miss you and will never forget you!
I hope you are at peace, my Sweeners.

I will miss you my lil' Emma.
I miss your whimpers, your bark, your noises, your toys and

your warmth.
You loved me unconditionally, I told you all my secrets.
You knew me and now you are gone but not forgotten.
I will see you again.
I will miss you.

Emma, 2002-09/30/07
I feel like I have added so many of our little friends here in the last couple of years. Yet we love all of them so much and they brought so much joy to our lives. Our little Emma was a true albino hedgie. She had a personality all of her own. As with all of our other hedgies that have passed through our home, she was spoiled rotten and was like a member of the family. I am sure she is up running with all of her friends. Lily, Bella and Gonzo and Chillie and Cosmo right now. Until we see other again, we all love you.

To our beloved Emma. Though your time on earth was brief, you brought a lot with you. From your crazy run when you were excited to your loving kisses, you will NEVER be forgotten. The pain of your passing is still with us and we don't understand why you had to go, but we are relieved to know you are no longer in pain. Miss Emma Dilemma you were a joy from day one when we brought you home as a puppy. Your patience with your human brother Aiden was amazing. We love you forever and hope you are having fun playing on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. Goodbye my pretty girl, please visit us in our dreams.
Adam, Aiden, BooBoo and Cara

The presence of God watch over you
Until we meet again, where ever you are God is and all is well.

Emma, 10/01/97-06/09/07
To Emma, the kindest and most loving little dog
who brought
lots of love to our home.
She always looked and acted like a little puppy and she loved
everyone
she met. She looked more like a little white bear with black
eyes and nose.
As the runt she was able to go with us everywhere hidden in her
bag.
She would go shopping for hours or out to eat with us and never
make a
noise as long as she knew we were near. She was so kind she
never hurt
a soul.
She even allowed me to give her a puppy cut every month for the
last nine
1/2 years. She never complained and acted as if she enjoyed the
attention.
As tiny and sweet as she was at six pounds she was the
neighborhood alpha
dog.
She enjoyed a playful rumble, fiercely growling and always
ending up on
top no matter how big the dog.
Over the last 11 months she struggled with
congestive
heart failure.
In December she began to have seizures or sometimes just fall
out for no
reason.
Emma acted perfectly happy and puppy-like one day and on death's
door the
next.
People who did not see her bad days thought she was not ill. Due
to her
problems she came to work with us every day and brought
happiness to everyone
who came to the office. She slept with us every night craddled
in our arms
or pressed up against our side.
We thought we were preparing ourselves for this
terrible
day but had no idea how painful and empty her death would feel.
Emma is missed more than words could ever say.
She will never be forgotten and could never be replaced.
There is no other Emma. We were the lucky ones who found this
little sweetheart
and loved her.
I hope she knew how much she was loved.

Emma, 06/05/07
I just wanted to acknowledge that our family pet
dog Emma
passed away tragically on Tuesday, June 5, 2007 in the early
morning.
I am having a terrible time with overwhelming grief for the loss
of one
of my best friends.
She was always there for me, always loved me, through the good
and the
bad.
She needed me and I needed her more.
My head is filled with flashes of her life from a naughty puppy
to an older,
more frail version that she had become in recent years.
I could read her body language as well as that of any human
being and at
times, she was more loving and concerned than the people in my
work and
family life.
I feel a profound loss.
I just wanted to say what a wonderful, ever cheerful, ever loyal
and loving
dog she was.
Anyone who thinks dogs don't have the capacity to feel love and
to inspire
devotion from their human owners, has never really had a dog in
their life
and that's their loss.
There is a huge whole in my heart.
I can't go an hour without crying.
I think of her all day long and at night when I am trying to
sleep.
I know the pain will ease in time, but such a loss is not easily
filled.
My love and sympathy to anyone who has loved and lost a pet.
It's an excruciating pain.
I just wanted to wish everyone the best.
Enjoy your pet with you whole heart, while you have them.
It's precious and sometimes fleeting.
Best wishes to all.
Faye.
Emma, 03/10/90-05/26/07
Emma,
16 years is a great run. But as you got tired and couldn't go on, I had to put you out of your pain. Now you can rest. I will miss you and always think of you. And I will see you again. I know you will be waiting there for me when I come. Miss you and love you Emster.

Goodbye for now my Emma.
You live in my heart, however, broken it may be today.
In time I won't hurt as much as I do now but throughout all time
you will
remain a part of my life, my thoughts, and all the days we spent
together.
I will always sense your Love whenever I think of you and while
you are
gone in body, you remain in me because you became a part of my
life and
joy. Your loving, happy spirit remains so precious.
I Love you my Emma.
God Bless until we meet again on the other side of the Rainbow.

Emma was one of my first "foster moms". She had such a sweet soul. Cancer took her quickly. While she was sick she would stll purr & still cuddle. I know I'll see her again. She is without pain now.
Maureen Dumas
Emma, 01/05/07
This tribute is for a dog who made life worth living, showed joy in everything she did, remained brave and loving when medical problems limited her, and who left us last night due to complications with epilepsy and pancreatitis.
She was one of the best dogs I will ever have.
She will forever be in our hearts and memories.
I hope there is a dock somewhere in heaven where she can sit to
keep watching
all of the fish, and plenty of frogs to follow whenever she
pleases.
We love you Emma, and will miss you always.
There is a heavy void without your delightful presence.
Be in peace, now.
Thank you for being our loving companion for as long as you
possibly could
be, until the very, very end.
Kerry Gervais
Emma Davis, 09/17/07
Emma was my little sidekick for almost eighteen
years.
She was so much fun to have around.
She didn't like other animals, but she loved people. She's been
beside
me through several moves, new jobs, the deaths of my husband and
parents,
illnesses, surgeries, and our sons moving away to start lives of
their
own. For the last three years, she has been at my side almost
every minute.
Emma had kidney disease.
On September 17th we released her from her pain.
I held her in my arms and felt her leave me.
I'll miss Emma for the rest of my life.

We were blessed to have our beloved Emma with us
in perfect
health up until the moment she had to undergo emergency stomach
surgery.
We are devastated that her death came so swiftly and unexpected.
She will
also be much missed by her 1 yr older brother Frank.
We ask for blessings so that we may find peace, remembering her
always
for the joy & laughter she gave us, and look for the day
when we may
again be reunited.

You Were My Ordinary Miracle..
Never supposed to live this long, never supposed
to be
able to walk.
You defeated them, you walked, ran, jumped,
Loved playing with your Sister, Loved the cottage and Scaring
Spencer.
You weren't afraid of anything, not baths, not car rides.. not
even vaccuums.
You were a truly happy boy.
I Loved You So Much, my baby. So full of love and
Hope,
Not a care in the world.
I can't stop crying
I miss you, and i want you back
I miss that way you put your paw up to my face
I miss your crooked little tail.
I miss those precious eyes.
I miss the way you got excited when I woke you up every morning
I miss you calling me
Saying- "pay attention to me mommy, i love you"
I miss you miiiiiister. Mister Stinky Emmerson.
I'll Love You forever, forever and always, forever and always my Emmy You'll be.

Emmett, 12/31/92-02/14/07
Emmett is the best boy in the whole wide world. There are no words to describe his special talent for bringing love and acceptance to everyone he met. He loved every life he crossed, and each of those lives loved him. We are so incredibly blessed to have the honor of knowing, loving, and being loved by this sweet angel.
He crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Valentine's Day. Sort of fitting if you knew how huge and loving his heart is.
He is survived and honored by his Momma, Poppa, Step-daddy, and Step-mommy, his Grand-Mom, Grand-Pop, and nieces, nephews, and cousins. A few of the people who have touched Emmett's life and crossed over before him and who he is now reunited with in heaven are Grandma Graber, who I have asked to take care of Emmett until I meet up with him again; Wonder Dog; Arctic Cat; Cassie Cat; Taxi; Marley; Lucy and Willow.
Mr. Emmett Utley - you will forever be in our hearts as our beloved boy, our sweet angel boy, the best boy in the whole wide world. Be a good boy and listen to Grandma. And remember that we will see you again - I'm already looking forward to one of your special hugs.
We love you baby.

You were my little baby, all 5 little pounds
of you. Now you are my little angel. You brightened
my life for 11 years. You left much to soon, I miss you waiting
for me
at the top of the steps when I come home, and looking into those
big beautiful
green eyes of yours. I will always miss and love you, my sweet
little girl.
Some day we will be together again.
I Love you ~

EmmyLee, 04/26/07
I found Emmy one rainy day in August,1994, having
searched
endlessly for my special one. She was in the local pound,
frightened and
withdrawn. Our lives were so similar at that moment, I knew she
was the
one.
Through the years, Emmy had become my best friend, my child, the
great
love in my life. She was there for many moves, several failed
relationships
(especially family), she was just always there.
I suppose I hoped we would grow old together. It didn't happen
that way.
Having been diagnosed with renal failure some months back, she'd
aged rather
quickly. She lost her sight, her muscles began failing. She
would no longer
eat. But no matter how bad she appeared, she still LOVED with
ever little
bit of engergy she could muster.
My heart aches for you, my beautiful princess. I don't know how
I will
go on, but I must for Gizmo, Acey and Daddy. Acey will soon join
you at
the bridge. I love you, my baby, and I will be there soon to get
you. I
promise. Watch for me...I'll be home soon. I love you!

Empress Woo Foo Yung, 03/30/90-10/05/07
Our Foo passed peacefully in the arms of her Mom
and Dad
with the help of her vet, today 10/05/07.
Our little Empress was so very special and so very loved.
The loss of this little spirit will leave a permanent wound on
our hearts.
Wounds do heal with time, leaving a scar; a protected, special
spot where
our memoried and love can be stored forever.
We who lived with her, will miss her every day and will look
forward to
the day that we can cross that Rainbow Bridge and hold her in
our arms
again.
To Foo:
Remember my baby, from my heart to your heart.
Mommy will love you forever.
All our love, Mommy and Daddy

Ena, 02/03/07
Ena was a wonderful, loving dog. She was one of
the sweetest
dogs I have ever owned and feel very blessed to have had her in
our family
even if for such a short time. We found her at the dog pound,
bursting
full of energy, jumping up and down trying to get our attention
as if saying
"Choose me, I know you want to look how cute I am"!!!
She accepted every human she met along the way. Running up and
greeting
them with a lick on the hand or a jump on the body as if trying
to hug
them. She was so full of energy, always on the go, always
wanting to be
the center of all attention. We only had her 10 months...
Last week my boyfriend and I were watching a friends farm. My
boyfriend
had to go to town early and I kept her with me. I went out with
another
friend for dinner and when we came back we could not find her.
We took
the car out to try to find her but unfortunately the house was
located
on a major highway were she was hit by a car. I regret a lot
about that
night but what I regret the most was never realizing how much I
really
loved her. How I took her for granted and if I could do anything
to get
her back I would.
I will always remember her energy and unconditional love. No
matter if
you yelled at her or had to discipline her she always looked at
you with
such overwhelming trust and love. She was one of the greatest
dogs I have
ever owned and will miss her dearly.

Enzo,
I miss you so bad.
I missed hearing your snore today and the sound of your paws
clicking on
the kitchen floor.
There was no one to follow me around or sit by my side.
I miss you so much and wish you could be here.
Your daddy came home immediately to say goodbye, he's sorry he
didn't have
more time.
We both thought we'd be able to take you to the ocean one more
time.
Your still with us in our hearts and we have your ashes here at
home so
you can be with us in our house still.
We're taking you with us on vacation next week too just so we
can still
look over you.
I just miss your familiar noises and your presence.
I'm sorry you had to go.
I hope to see you again on the other side.
We love you very much.
You were a big part of our family and now a part is missing.
I feel so lonely all day without you, you meant that much to me.
I know we'll see you again though. xoxo

Eppie, You have truly been the light of my life
over the
past 10+ years.
You helped save my life and I did the same for you.
You were always there for me with unconditional love and
loyalty. You taught
me so much about life & helped me make connections with some
fabulous
people.
You had an incredible spirit which I will forever carry with me
in my heart.
I miss you terribly; however, I find peace knowing that you are
with Myrt
and running freely without the pain which came with old age.
Thank you
for giving me so many years of genuine happiness, and for giving
me permission
to get another Aussie.
Love,

Erica Kane, 03/93-05/30/05
Erica was a very special cat whose personality
was known
by who ever came in contact with her.
She did not putt - it was more like a growl, and you never, ever
touched
her "puff" tail!
She was the boss of everyone and we all knew it.
It was indeed, something if she jumped into your lap.
That did not mean you should pet her, if only meant that she
wanted to
sit on your lap for a spell.
She was born an only "child" kitten and had her Momma and two
"aunts" that raised her.
Needless to say, it was always her way or the highway.
We learned her likes and dislikes and did not trespass in her
territory,
especially the other cats, or they would get a hiss and a slap
from her.
She was one very unique, loveable, in her own way, feline who
traveled
to many states and loved to ride in the car.
She has been greatly missed by her feline and human family.
Goodnight Erica, we all loved you and will be with you again one
day.
Genie, Gillian, Baby Girl and Allen
Erick, 10/19/90-09/24/07
To the best friend I ever had!
You were always so loving, compassionate, forgiving and full of
energy and life.
You made my life worth living.
If I didn't have to take care of Little Bit I'd just lay down
and die,
so that I could be with you once again. I love you my little guy
and miss
you more than I could ever explain to anyone here on this earth.
You were my family, my friend and you always watched over me as
no one
else ever did.
You cared about me as I did
about you.
I'll love you always baby Erick. Wait for me by the rainbow bridge. Love Mommy
Erin, 09/05/91-09/30/07

Just know we loved you enough to let you go when you see your
adopted brother
Max tell him Hello and we love you both very much.
We'll keep a good eye on Sydney for you and some day she soon she will have a new brother or sister to show the ropes to just like you did with her.

Ernie, 11/10/07
Ernie, thank you for the time you gave us.
You are so intelligent, instinctual, and communicative.
I love you.
Thank you for saying goodbye.
Your family is heart-wrenched, so let them know you are okay.
Give your family a vision that you are well and comfort them.
Walk with God and your new life and families to come.
Pieces of us continue
in disconnected generations,
as a fallen puzzle is scattered
and put together in a different way.
You may swear you recognize
the eyes, once green,
and the eagerness of the head
eating.
You may hold back and see:
more muscular shoulders
and a fuller-tipped nose.
And yet, is it him?
"You don't know what you are talking about!",
they reply.
"Only he has those legs and that nose."
A gradual watching and relearning concludes
it could be him.
It is!
The call comes.
His eyes
are more golden, not green.
His shoulders are more muscular.
He is confident.
His nose is fuller.
It isn't him, and yet it is.
He has another name.
It will never matter.
He is welcome anytime.

Ernie, 08/23/00-07/24/07
Ernie was one of three kittens that we adopted along with his Mama. All four kitties were ill, but Ernie seemed to be the most ill. He was the largest in the litter, but ended up being the smallest. I can remember picking him up and gently holding him. He was so sick at this point, he couldn't hold his little head up. His eyes had just opened, but he couldn't see because of the infection in his eyes. We started him and his litter mates and mama on amoxy drops. They all seemed to get better, except Ernie. We took him to our vet and they discovered he had an infected baby tooth, which they removed. Unfortunately, the infection had spread to his sinus cavity, and he recieved meds to clear up the infection every day. The brave little guy endured injections of penicillon, sulpha drugs (which made his skin hurt so we stopped that) and the amoxy drops. The drops never did clear up the infection, but it kept it under control. He always was there to greet us when we came home from work, usually with a string in his mouth, to entice us in a game of 'chase the string'. When we bent over to pick something off the floor, he would jump on our backs and snuggle our necks and purr. Every night he would crawl under the covers and snuggle, tucking his little head under our chins, and put one paw on our cheeks, then purr us to sleep. He loved to 'help' us brush our teeth by jumping on the sink and 'supervising'. He loved to chase millers and when we said 'Get the bug, Ernie' he would get it. That was a fun game for him and fun for us to watch him. We miss him dearly, but to watch him be in pain hurt more than not having him here. So we made the decision to end his suffering. I know he is happy now, and he is not sick. He gets to play like a kitty should. He'll be waiting for us with his string in his mouth, waiting for us to play with him.

Ernie was my first dog. He was not just a dog for me, he was my first assistent dog. But he did more than his work. He protected me in every situation. I always knew what he was thinking and he knew what I was thinking. We had a very special connection. I miss him so much... Ernie I will love you for ever...

October 27, 2005
It is with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes that I type this. Today I have done the hardest job I have ever done in my life. I helped my best friend Ernie to the bridge.
Last June, Ernie was diagnosed with bone cancer in his left shoulder. He had been doing quite well with it and staying virtually pain free up until two weeks ago. When I first became involved with greyhounds , I knew nothing about them. But soon after we got Ernie 7 1/2 yrs ago, we learned of the terrible disease that haunts all greyhounds. And at that time, I made a promise to Ernie and to myself that I would not put him through a bunch of treatments or an amputation in a desperate attempt to prolong his life another 6 months. When it came time for Ernie to go, I would make sure that he went with pride and dignity. He deserves that much. And that's what happened today. He went to the bridge laying on his favorite bed, his head in my lap, wearing his signature red bandana, and with his goofy grin on his face. I know I did the right thing. I know he would have wanted it this way.
Oh my God, I will miss you Ernie. I will miss your perpetual smile, the way you would sit on the couch beside me and watch tv; I will miss the way you would climb into my lap when you wanted attention, and the way you would "roo" to the Titanic theme on the clock. I will miss you eating my tomatoes off the bushes every summer; I will miss your drippy nose, and I will miss the way you would 'wolf' down your food and then cough a mouthfull all over the kitchen.
So go, my friend and run through the fields of grass at the bridge. Chase the butterflys and the possums. Run on the beach and play in the waves, chase the kites like you used to. Your buddies Chandler and Silver and Denali are there waiting for you. Run and play till you can't run anymore, then get up and do it again. But as you are running and playing, making new friends and finding old ones, keep looking over your shoulder. I will be there. We will meet again one day, and we will cross the bridge together.
Good bye, my friend....

My beloved Esa,
Not a day goes by that my heart does not ache and I am not
missing you
immensely. You were always my little boy of courage who stood by
me always
and forever. You entered my heart right from the start. We
immediately
formed a truly special bond the first day our eyes met and I
brought you
home. Thank you for all of the days, months and years of
unconditional
love, licking away tears and strength. You were and always will
be my little
boy and I love you forever. One day we will run to each others
arms once
again and the smiles will be enormous at that special rainbow
bridge.
I love you my dear Esa,
your mommy

I am sure you are bossing everyone up there around.
Love you and miss you forever.

She will miss him every day when she leaves for and returns from

Etheridge, rescued 7/10/95-07/19/07
My frightened little rescue, I pray the pain and
suffering
you endured early on is just a distant memory now and that you,
Thatcher,
and Chickie have all found each other and are playing endlessly
till I
get there, taking time in between to watch over me.
Feeding time will never be the same without that backwards dance
of yours!
Rest easy Etheridge, it's all better now.......I love you, Mommy
Etta Mae Peterson, 07/25/07
My heart aches, yet I consider myself very
blessed for
having you for so many years, but it still isn't long enough.
God certainly brought us together, as He does with all of
creatures. I
had no plans on finding a puppy that day so long ago, but on a
whim, Jen
and I decided to stop at the animal shelter to see if there were
any labrador
mixed puppies, and sure enough, there were! And there you were,
all scrunched
up in the corner of a freshly cleaned but very wet kennel with
all your
brothers and sisters.
But you were the only one with long, curly hair on your ears and
you looked
so scared.
Karen asked us if we wanted to take you outside, and we did.
You then started rolling in the grass and sunshine and I knew
then, I couldn't
take you back to that kennel, I just had to take you home with
us.
You turned out to be the sweetest dog we ever had. You never did
anything
wrong. And, as new puppies were introduced into the family, in
your quiet
way, you let them know that you were the alpha dog and they
respected you
even into their adult years. I swear, that you could just sit on
the couch
next to us and be petted all day, you were a quiet and gentle
spirit.
But, age creeps up on all of us I guess.
By the time you were 13, you couldn't go on our hikes to the Sam
Campbell
trail and this had been what you enjoyed most in your life. Then
you couldn't
go up or down the stairs to go outside, but your Dad lovingly
carried you
despite the fact he too had a stroke.
I would worry about both of you when he carried you, worried
that he would
slip on the icy steps and you both would get hurt. But he loved
you so
much and he didn't mind. He said that you had been good to us
all your
life and in return for your sweetness, he would carry you.
But, in the end, not all the caring and love he or I gave you
was enough.
You were sick and we had to make the decision to let you go. It
was selfish
of us to want to keep trying to make you better. You couldn't do
the things
you loved to do when you were young and now your poor old body
was giving
up on you.
As I write this, I have tears streaming down my face, because in
my minds
eye, I still see that scared little puppy with the curly ears
that I fell
in love with so very long ago. So many memories are attached to
you. Even
though we still have your friends Shelby and Brody, the house is
strangely
quiet.
You are so very missed.
Our hearts ache. Yet, I know that someday, probably not so very
far off,
we will meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.
My heart tells me this is true, I have no doubt. So, my "little
black
buddy pal", have fun and enjoy being well again. We will miss
you
more than you would ever know. Keep looking for us, for someday
we will
be coming and we can all be together again.
Love you and miss you,
Your Mom and Dad
Eugenie, 12/12/92-11/04/07
Eugenie was the most amazing dog ever.
It wasn't just the amazing things she could do, like fetching a
soccer
ball as well as any soccer player by rolling it with her muzzle,
or picking
out the exact toy you asked for (clearly, she understood
English).
It was mostly that she was a dog who plainly understood what you
were thinking
and tried to make everyone happy.
Everyone who knew Eugenie loved her.
I will miss her terribly.

Eva lived most of her life in a kennel.
She came into our lives in Feb. 2003.
She couldn't even climb a step.
She has since learned what life is about by being her mommy's
special girl.
She loves me and I love her.
Her adoring brown eyes and smile always made me smile.
I didn't have her long enough, but in the 4 1/2 years I did,
I've learned
how to love a pet so much and now how to grieve.
No one could take her placeGoodbye Eva my Sissy Girl.
I love you so much.

Evie, 07/24/07
Evie came into my life about 11 years ago.
Upon returning from work, my son greeted me with the statement,
"I
didn't bring it home."
After inquiring as to what 'it' was, he led me to a little
bundle of skin
and bone, covered with wounds, huddled in the garage.
Apparently, this little soul had come into the cool darkness (it
was about
110 degrees outside)to escape the heat and, perhaps, to die in
solitude.
She seemed to be unable to walk, dragging her back legs
occasionally, and
not interested in anything.
I already had a Doberman, Helga, and a Border
Collie,
Sally.
Helga had recently had surgery so my finances were very low.
Not being able to not do anything for this little baby, I called
my vet
who suggested that I try to give her some water only and see if
she would
survive the night.
The next day, she was still there, refusing to sleep in the bed
we had
provided, prefering a small corner.
But, this time, I was greeted with a small wag of the tail.
I left more water and started on to work but half way there,
called in
and told them I was too ill to come in.
I headed home, scooped her up, and took her to the vet.
My vet took her in and evaluated her.
She needed surgery for many of the wounds she had, including her
ears which
looked as if chunks had been taken out of them.
She remained in hospital for a few days.
For all of her work, the vet charged me for only supplies used;
she was
well aware of how much Helga had cost me less than two weeks
before.
So, here was this little emaciated Boxer pup,
with tubes
coming in and out of her.
I had to irrigate these twice a day, a process that I am sure
was not easy
due to my inexperience.
But, she was stoic and accepting, even giving me a little wag
now and then.
I had told the vet that i would try to find her a good home
after she recovered.
When I returned to her office, she asked if I had found a home.
I told her yes; she could put her address as mine.
We were still without a name for this little
girl.
The week before, Mike Tyson had taken a chunk out of Evander
Hollyfield's
ear.
Being an avid boxing fan, we decided that Evanda would be
fitting and,
with time, she became Evie.
(She was also referred to as Evil Dog, Evie Girl, and the simple
Eve).
Sally had been the alpha of the group for several
years
after Evie arrived.
But, at age 16, Sally developed pancreatic cancer and passed
away.
After her departure, Helga and Evie would occasionally disagree
who was
the boss (Helga was supreme) but they loved each other and
became sisters.
It was apparent that I was at the center of their world as they
would take
turns sitting next to me, patrolling the house during the night,
and playing
with me.
But, Helga, at age 11, decided that it was time to go to Sally.
This devastated me as it was not expected.
An insidious tumor had kept recurring on Helga's chest and
surgeries had
not been able to keep it at bay.
I was devastated.
Evie became my constant companion.
She also mourned these losses but she was determined to take
over some
of the tasks Helga had done with me.
Within a few months, Evie and I were inseparable.
Over the years, Evie had experienced problems
with her
back.
Examinations showed no broken bones or slipped discs.
But, we babied her back just the same.
Being an fisherman and, before I became disabled, a hiker, Evie
was the
outdoors-pup that I had longed for in a companion.
When I moved to Wisconsin, she developed a love for snow and
would make
people smile when we would go out with her boots, scarf, and
bomber jacket.
By this time, another Boxer had come to our home.
Another little girl, Talullah Mango, or Lucy.
Evie liked her.
However, their friendship was short lived as Evie's back started
to cause
more problems.
We had decided that we would get her a wheelchair for dogs if
her back
legs would not support her and she was healthy.
However, a tumor developed in the cervical spine which affected
her front
legs.
We considered taking her to surgery at the
university
but the thought of losing her during the procedure was
unbearable.
I decided that such a good friend and loving companion deserved
more than
that.
I have to admit that when Helga left, I could not
stay.
It was a moment I have always regretted and I had made a promise
to myself
that I would never let that happen again.
This time, the vet understood how hard this was for me.
I took her to the hospital to prepare her.
What I experienced was something that I had never expected
during such
a traumatic time.
Melissa, the vet, had Evie resting on a bed of
heated
pads and a warmed blanket.
She had been brushed with a sparkling gel which made Evie look
luminous.
On her collar, Melissa had added a pair of red ruby slippers, so
Evie would
forever know that there is no place like home.
I laid down beside her and Evie cuddled in as if we were in bed
at night.
Then, I let her go.
I had expected to be hysterical at this point but
I have
to admit I found that this was a wonderful moment in my life.
Evie had been there for me through some really tough times.
I had become disabled and unable to walk for an extended period
of time.
Evie never left my side during my recuperation.
When I was able to get into a wheelchair, she went everywhere
with me,
learning to carry things for me.
In the moment of her death, I found a deeper peace than what I
had ever
experienced in the knowledge that we had loved and helped each
other through
our lives.
I miss her terribly.
I think I hear her sometimes and a few nights ago, I would swear
I saw
her face by my bed, the way she used to wake me up if she had to
go out.
Maybe it is wishful thinking but I truly believe that she will
be with
me always.
We shared so much life together that a little thing like death
surely can't
keep us apart.
And, if it is my imagination, that is okay too.
I truly believe that while there may not be a rainbow bridge, i
know that
all my babies will be waiting for me when I die.
If that is all that is waiting for me at that time, who cannot
say that
is heaven?

Evil, 04/30/07
Evil was a reject.
Nobody wanted him at the pet store, so I got him as part of a
package with
cage, toys, bowls, food, hamster for $10.
Apparently he was mean and difficult.
We had our differences and I had many a bitten finger, but after
some time
and someone to understand him, he was lovable, cute, cuddly, and
one kickin'
hamster.
Evil he was, loved he is.

Evita Marie, 12/14/96-04/14/07
Vita, Baby Girl, I love you so much. I still can't believe you're really gone. You were our first born and you'll always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to Eric and Me, and such a kind, patient fur sister to Connor and Caiden.Your power, strength, intelligence and courage are inspiring. It's so hard to imagine our family without you right here. You were taken so quickly from us, we didn't get to say goodbye. I pray that from were you are you know just how much you were loved. May God keep you in his arms until we meet again. Mommy and Daddy.
Ewok, 10/25/89-10/23/07
My dear Ewok do you know how much you are truly
missed
what I wouldn¡¯t give to have you jump on my lap and give me a
kiss
I am trying to only remember all the good times we shared
the way we would make eye contact and knew that we cared.
I loved the way you said *momma* when I asked you
to speak
how you would sleep all snuggled on the floor at me feet
When you heard thunder you would let me know when a storm was
near
by following close to me, sitting on my lap and how it comforted
your fear.
We¡¯ve shared so much through the years since you
were
born
like toast & eggs in the morning and at night, popcorn.
Your favorite food was chicken you loved french fries too
also candy and pizza and cooked carrots from the stew.
Retrieving your blanket when thrown, growling,
rolling
over, shaking hands
sitting up and saying please, playing with your food, eating it
where it
lands.
All the tricks you learned to do, the many treats you so
deserved.
Thank you for all the love you gave to me without you saying a
word.
You hated to take a bath but loved to lay by the
fire
And sleeping and then chewing on your steak bones for many hours
When it was raining there was no way you would go outside
and always shook when I took you in the car for a ride.
Another page has turned in my life after loving
you 18
years
Your absence runs so deep in my heart I can¡¯t fight the tears.
You touched my life in so many ways always there for me
You knew when I was sad inside and would try and comfort to me.
I am so proud of you and feel so honored to be
with you
for so long
You taught me many things and one was how to love and be strong.
You were by my side when I was happy and when I was down
Never judging me only loving me unconditionally always around.
Thank you Ewok for giving so much and asking for
so little
for sharing your life with me, for meeting me in the middle.
Nothing will ever replace the love I have in my heart for you
I am looking forward in seeing you again someday, I hope you are
too.

Zeke, mamma loves you.
I am so sorry that death came in the way it did.
We tried and tried to fight it.
I miss the way you smelled inexplicably, like the color purple.
I miss your kisses and hugs, and your soft ears.
I miss you at the foot of my bed,on my feet, for so many years I
shifted
myself around you.
I feel you with me; but I look forward to the day when we will
be together
again. We can play "Where's Mama?" and I will let you find me,
under the covers and overjoyed to hug you again.
you were fine and mighty. loving you always, mamma.
Yesterday, January 18, 2007, I had to make the
difficult
decision to have my beloved cat, Ezmeralda put to sleep as
advised by my
veterinarian due to her age and failing kidneys. She was 20
years old and
would have been 21 in the Spring. She was my first pet I have
ever had.
She appeared on my back doorstep in 1986 with her mother and
another litter
mate. Ezmeralda was a wild little wide-eyed long haired black
cat and I
immediately fell in love with her. She was the one I adopted. I
was able
to tame her and she eventually became part of my household. I
have so many
memories of the last 20 years with her and am so glad I took
lots of pictures
from her youth to her old age when she was failing in health. I
am missing
her so much tonight. This afternoon, I compiled all the pictures
I have
of her and have spent this evening viewing all of them over and
over again.
Someday, Ezmeralda and I will be together again at Rainbow
Bridge. Until
then, rest in peace, Ezmeralda.
