Year 2007 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "I".

Iam was incredibly gentle, loving, and brave.
He slowly lost the use of his back legs and the back half of his body, but he never gave up trying to behave normally.
He adapted to the circumstances by learning to pull himself with his front legs. Time drained his strength and energy, but nothing would stop him from getting to his spot by my feet, nor could anything take away his purr and the soft love in his eyes. His birth brother I said and I will always miss him.

Dearest Ibsen,

Since you passed, our tears haven't stopped. Your memories will stay with us forever, until we meet again. Thank you for all the love and happiness you gave us.

We love you and miss you so much,
Mami, Pappa, Isabel, and Angelica

I just wanted to let her know that I will miss her love and support for me.
She was always there for me...never thinking of herself.
She was diabetic for 3 years and I had to give her insulin shots every night for that entire time.
She always came to me willingly because she knew I did it because I was trying to make her well and she always got cheese...her favorite food as a reward.
For that I always had a friend.
She stayed by my side as I went to sleep and if I got up in the night for any reason she would return to my room until I wnet back to sleep and if I didn't she would stay up all night with me.
All this in exchange for love, an insulin shot, water, clean litter and cheese.
She loved me unconditionally and was the best fiend I ever had.
I hope she is romping in heaven as a kitten again with wonder in her heart and adventure in her soul. I loved her like a child and she is missed and my heart hurts so bad without her.
Enjoy heaven and know that I will see you again soon...my last words to you as I had you put to sleep were "see you later" and I will!!!
I love you Ibska and my hurt aches at my loss but is happy for you because I know you are out of pain and happy again.
Say hi to your mom who I loved so much before you!!!!
Love you forever!!!!

Please rest in peace, we are so heartbroken. send our love to Bagel, Strudel, Latka, and Sensei, and our beloved Mom's and Dad's. Here's to "The Paws Club". We miss you.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

Ice you were Mama's Angel. Everyone who met you wanted to love and pet you. I think of the 6 foot tree limb you carried around the back yard and you pushing your non-furry sissy off the couch so you could sit by Mama. When you barked at foodgirl just to scare her. Then you would look at me and smile, that was to funny.

Gloria & Michael Taft

Ma precieuse petites. Always remember what I whispered in your ear. How much I love you, how much I need you, what you've added to my life. Such a small being with so much love and light. My heart aches beyond belief for your absence, how can you be gone, how did this happen? I love you more than anything my little girl...my sweet, sweet Icee. Be with your brother and best friend Sigi, play and be happy until we're all together again my love. I love you so.

Erich Ostrowski

Our family is no longer whole. Ici was the sweetest, strongest girl we could ever know. She battled for her life and won. She was a rescue, no one wanted this loving soul. She was given a 5% chance of survival 7 years ago, but she beat all odds.
We love you Ici, we are heartbroken and will never, ever be the same without you.
Mommy, Poppy, Zorro, Snuggles, Itchy and Scratchy.

Icicle was the best little person.
She was our baby.

To my best friend and my feline soulmate,

I miss you.
It's been over three months since you passed, and I still think about you daily.
I miss the way you snuggled under the covers with me, how you sat on my lap whenever I was sad.
My world isn't the same without you.
Eric and Tiberius miss you as well - we all loved you so much.

I hope you're happy wherever you are, and I hope to see you again some day.

I love you, sweet baby.

Iggy, my little fluff ball of pure joy, I miss you with all my heart and I grieve for the loss of you my precious little boy.

Liz Young

Yesterday evening (5.2.07) about 4:50 my little Bos Kitty passed peacefully on to the Heaviside Layer.
He was assisted on his journey by his vet from the Cat Clinic who came to the house and helped him over the Rainbow Bridge.
He will be cremated and returned to me.
Iggy was a native of Davenport, IA and joined our family
about 17 years ago as a toddler.
During his life he lived in 4 states, 6 homes, was lost 5 times and found 5 times and shared his home with 3 dogs and (on occasion) 3 boys.
He had been maintaining with kidney failure since last spring but presented an agressive cancer in his rear hindquarters that progressively immobilized him. He will be dearly missed--he was an extraordinary kitty as those of you who knew him will agree.
Rest in peace, dear kitty.

Jo. Chichester

Iggy, I hope that i provided you with the best home, since you passed I ponder this very fact, but I know that the hour during your passing, I have found comfort in knowing that I was there for you! I am sorry that you have passed on, and still look at the empty tank, and want to bring in organic veggies and bananas. something pulled me in to see you that late sunday night, and a bigger force knew that i was supposed to be with you that night, to comfort you in transition! I did the best i could for you for 14 years, and i know that you are with Fluffy and Tabby now! xoxo - I miss you!

Ikaika means 'strength' in the Hawaiian language. It suited him. He was strong, proud, sweet, gentle and smart. His loving disposition, friendship and devotion were a true blessing in my life. He was unique and funny.
I will never forget nor be able to replace him.

Thea

IKE YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE WHEN YOU WERE THREE DAYS OLD. I LOVED YOU LIKE YOU WERE A REAL CHILD. EVERY DAY WAS A NEW EXPERIENCE WITH YOU. BOTTLE FEEDING WAS A CHORE BUT YOU MADE IT EASY. I WILL NEVER FORGET WHEN I WOULD COME HOME AND SAY YOUR NAME HOW YOU WOULD LOOK FOR ME. WE ALL MISS YOU EVERY DAY. YOU WERE THE JOY IN OUR HOME. EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE HERE FOR A SHORT TIME YOU MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON OUR LIVES. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU. TAKE CARE OF MOSES AS I KNOW YOU ARE TOGETHER. MOM

The gardner let out my dear Ike. Only an hour later you where hit by a car. I didn't even get to say goodbye. All we have left know is an empty hole in our hearts. I miss you Ike. With very hour of everyday that has passed. Forget you we will never, remember you we will always. I miss the sound of your squeaking toys, and your shadow chasing!
I miss my nightly cleanings with your tounge. I miss your never ending energy and love. I will see you again my dear friend. I can't wait to play fetch with you again, on the otherside.......Mommy misses you dearly.

I will wait to meet my best freind.

Michael Shea

You gave us so much joy and you were more special than we could ever put into words. To loose both you and Elsie so close has been heart-breaking.

Cindy, Ed and Caley

Words simply will never be able to express the many minutes, hours, days, and years of pure joy that you brought us.
The house feels completely empty without you here, and will never be the same without you.
You touched everyone that you met in an extraordinary way, and you will never be forgotten.
When God created you, He definately broke the mold.
We miss your snorts, drools, goo, and even your gassyness.
We thank you for your many years of friendship and love returned.

We love you very, very much!

Wade, Michele, and Graham

Dear Ilean,

Our Bean, our AngelBrat, our Love.
My heart hurts sooooo bad. I miss you and your kitty voice.

No more will you drink from the sink, or cuddle by my side. I am so sorry to have to put you to sleep. Your eyes held your spirit but your body no longer let you enjoy your life.

I hope you forgive us for putting you to sleep. We did not want you to suffer, you deserved to be at peace.

I hope as time goes by, the pain I feel will subside and the memories of your love and friendship and kitty antics take the place of the pain, guilt and grief I am feeling.

You were one of a kind. We love you Ilean.
We love you.

Stacey Nocella

To our Beloved Skip. You were one of the kindest and gentlest friend. Though you time with us was short, you will be remembered forever in our hearts.

Thank you Skip for the unconditional love you gave us. Thank you for teaching others how to ride. You were the best. You were Daddy's boy,
and Mommy's pride and joy. I wish we could have had more time together as 8
years was just not
long enough.

We love you.

Splash was a retired show bunny that took the show world by storm, she charmed the Judges with her beauty by winning her class at 2 National Conventions (Del Mar & Peoria Ill)
I made the mistake of letter her go to Canada with my her daughter Ima Missy Girl, my daughter, her husband. I know Splash did not get the love and care she did when she was here in the US.
My daughter and I had an agreement that Splash was to come home with me to be cremated... well when the father in law found Splash, he buried her inthe garden instead of sending her home with me.
Spalsh, my heart is crushed over you death. You could not weather the cold in Canada when being born and raise i Arizona. It has been nearly a year since you have left us and I can't let you go.
I love you so much and miss how you would give me kisses, forgive me Splash, forgive me for what I have done.
You have touch my heart even as a baby kit, the runt that others told us to put you down, see what you have become, a Grand Champion, and a
wonderful pet.
Show rabbit or pet you were the best and always my favorite bun, I miss you, I love you Nanny.
You will always be in my heart, I will never forget you, ever.

One night in mid-July this year my husband came inside from getting something out his truck before bed and told me to go have a look outside. I was hesitant but I opened the door and looked down to the see the skinniest black and white cat I've ever seen, stuffing herself on a bowl of kitty crunchies my hubby had put there for her.
It was late and starting to storm. I suggested that we bring her inside and call the pounds and look online for her owner in the morning. The next day I called two pounds and put her on numerous web groups in my area and on petfinder in the found area. I called the pounds for two weeks. Nobody called. IN that time we had discovered that she was very old and my husband was reluctant to name her so I took the honors and called her Inanna after the goddess of storms and war (she had an old scar on her nose). She was indeed a goddess. She was supposed to be my husbands cat but it was I she followed around, always talking, always watching. She would sit on my desk and listen to me sing, actually looking into my eyes while I did so. The night we found her I protested that we could not keep her, we did not need another cat when we already had 2 but she grabbed hold of my heart strings. She was so frail. We learned that she was very old from a friend who really knows her stuff about cats, anywhere from 15+, she had no front teeth on the top or the bottom. I started buying her special canned cat fod to beef her up but it never helped. On 8/18 I noticed during the day that she looked especially thin when I fed her that morning. I had wormed her as a precaution a few days earlier because of my worry at her lack of weight gain. Late in the afternoon she came upstairs looking for me. She had been with us a month and was still looking a little dull so I thought I'd give her a bath. She was a perfect angel in the bath which took me by surprise because she tried to nip me if I even tried to look in her mouth so I was ready for fireworks. I rinsed her off and wrapped her in two thick towels. She was awake but limp and seemed very weak. I was worried about hypothermia because of her lack of body fat so I dried her as fast as I could and gave her another fresh dry towel and handed her off to my husband who held her while I cleaned up and told him that I was worried. By this time she was laying on his stomach and not moving. She was awake but what cat do you know that just lays wrapped in a towel after a bath? She was purring and occasionally meowing. I thought that maybe she was dehydrated so I set up a heating pad on low with a towel on it and after she was dry placed her there in a blanket so that I could run out to buy some plain pedilite to cut with water and try and get her hydrated with an oral syringe. Before I left I looked in on her and noticed that she was swallowing alot and frequently like she was going to vomit. I rushed in to put her on the floor so that she didn't vomit on the heating pad and no soon did I lift her that she threw up everywhere. It was all clear fluid. After that she was unstable on her feet and kept falling over. At this point I started to fear a stroke but with a cat this old I knew taking her to the vet would accomplish nothing other than them telling me to put her down in a strange cold place she'd never been. I rushed out to buy the pedilite and came came back to find her slumped over on the floor and only respnsive to my voice by a flick of her ear. I scooped her up and sucseeded in getting 2 tsp. of pedialite into her. At that point I could see it in her eyes that it was time and that she was only fighting because I was crying for her not to leave and to come back. I had no idea how attached I had gotten to her in such a short amount of time. I rocked her in an old fleece baby blanket and told her it was ok to go now and that she'd feel all better once she got to the other side. I lit some candles and talked and sang to her and waited. I draped my prayer beads around her body while I sang a triple goddess chant to her. She was skeletal, only 3 pounds 13 ounces. Everytime I lifted her since she had arrived I felt that she would break. But I think deep down I always knew that she had come here to die. When she took her last breath I stroked her head and traced her funny white markings with my fingers. She was beautiful. Her soul is what grabbed me. She was so human-like. You cuold see the history in her eyes. She had been through alot. My husband and I are 100% that someone dumped her off as she was completely clean and in great shape other than being eemaciated and with poor teeth from age. No fleas, dirt, or ear mites, smooth paw pads that had not been running on pavement or climbing up tree bark. No ticks or brambles stuck in her fur. Where she came from is a complete mystery but I loved her much more than even I realized and I hope that she needed someone to love her, my husband says thats why she came here, to die with someone who loved her. That maybe her soul needed it. I keep looking for her and my toddler daughter keeps calling "nana!"
She may have only been with us a month but she left paw prints on my heart that will last a lifetime.

I love you Inanna!

Welcome to the Summerland!

-Mommy

Inca only had a brief life, when we bought her we asked all the right questions and was told her parents had good hip scores.
Inca became uncomfortable last week so we took her to the Vet who took x-rays which revealed severe hip displacia, OCD, oestoarthritus and Elbow displacia.
Inca was completely loved and we were prepared for a long time ahead of surgery but with all her ailments she would never have been pain free so we decided to let her go to play pain free with other dogs and puppies until we can be reunited again.
There were four people present when Inca was laid to rest, but just before, she gave us all loads of kisses on our faces, all in turn, my husband, myself, the Vet and the nurse, that memory i will never forget.
I have never known a dog in my lifetime with a more genuinly pleasing temperament, you are a very special little girl Inca, and you will always remain close in our hearts.
God rest your soul, at only five months old the heartache is unbearable but I know we did right by you, better a happy life of only 5 months than a lifetime of pain and operations.
'Til we meet again, we will always think of and love you, you will never be forgotten. XXXX

Cathy & Mark Howard

I lost my best friend, Indi only last week. She was the most amazing friend I could of had, each day without her hurts immensely. She was always there with a kiss, a warm hug greeting me at the door. Every night she laid her head on the pillow right next to me. Each day we walked as she said hello to all her neighborhood friends. The love she gave me was one of the greatest blessings of my life. I miss her laying with me, eating sweetly out of her food bowl, barking when her Aunt Shana came over to be petted, laying her head on my lap and looking at me with those big brown eyes that said i love you, mom. It was with deep regret I had to let her go, she was dying from a Brain tumor. Yet out last months until the day she passed were filled with happiness and love. Her head was laying in my lap as she closed her eyes and I was telling her all about our life together, the best 12 years I have had, she added so much to everyday. Letting her go was the final act of love I could give her, she was paralyzed and in a coma- yet this was only for a day. This is for Indi- my partner, best friend and companion. You are gone but never will you be forgotten. Love, Your Mom

My India, you crossed over to rainbow Bridge today and already I miss you so much, you have left a big empty hole in my life.
For 14 years, you have been the most loving, trusting and faithful friend and life is never going to be the same without you.
I will miss your smile and your wagging tail, your presence and our moments of complicity.
I love you and always will until we meet again my dearest golden girl.

Christine Monguillot

Indian, we miss you very much.

Lorna Dobson and Gerry Smith

My sweet, sweet girl, Indiana. My faithful friend and loyal companion for all of these years. You, sweet one, got me through all of my surgeries and you were always there for me. I miss your beautiful face, your wise, kind eyes, and your LOVE. Your mommy and Coby are really lost right now. We love you so much, to much to let the pain and discomfort go on any longer. Dr. said today, that after a week in the hospital, she felt you came home so you could give Coby and I one more
good day. You helped raise Coby and he
loved you so much. You were my world, sweet shepherd girl and I will always love you with all of my heart.

Cappi Duncan

I am sorry my Peaches, my big giant boy. I am sorry for keeping you alive ten days longer then I should have. I just didn't want to let you go. I miss taking you for walks, throwing the tennis ball for you, buying you new bones, getting lost in the woods...everything.
I am sorry for never taking you to the beach. You were the only time in my life when I ever felt safe.
I miss you and love you. I will see you again soon....

Julie Lusick

Indy's start in life was rocky, he went on to be one of the strongest individuals I have ever known.
His best friend, Willis and I spent 19 wonderous years with Indy.
Indy and Willis were side by side for the whole time.

Every day that goes by, I still see and feel his present,and knowing that he watches over his Willis 24/7.

Vicki R. Webb

My heart aches for you. I tried to hold on to you as long as I could, but it wasn't fair to you. You were my very best friend ever.
I know you loved me as much as I loved you, and I'll always carry you in my heart and think of you every day.

Diana Elsesser

You two girls are at the bridge together, and I hope you are running and playing again.
We miss you so very much, especially Shabby because your loss is so new, only 3 weeks. We used to laugh at how you ran around the living and dining room, big, silly Indiana, and little chubby Shabby. We know that you are waiting for us and I hope you know how much you love and joy you brought to our family.
Shabby...I am so happy you are not in any more pain, but the pain in my heart is so unbearable, I miss you more and more every day my angel.
Till we are all together again.
Indiana, make sure you look after Shabby.
Forever in our hearts.
Mommy, Daddy, Philip and Kevin

Indie, you were such a sassy little trooper, always causing trouble, and I loved every second of it.
I'm so sorry that I couldn't help make you feel better, and I hope you know that the only reason why I let you go was because I loved you.
Indie, I know that you will help the next rescue fit right in at home, and you understand there are far too many for an empty space to go unfilled.
You have your health back, and I know you're tearing up the fields with all those you have met, to make their day a little better, yet we have still lost, yet noone mourned.
Please give Minnie a hug, and know that I think of you always.
You deserved a longer time on this earth, and I would trade anything to give it to you.

Remi, Frosty, Kay-Bear, Nubbis, and especially Decker, miss you dearly.

Stephanie Moriarty

Indigo was a beautiful, strong-willed, loving cat who was well loved by our family.
We had him since he was a kitten and he lived a fun-filled 14 years with our family.
We made the difficult decision to end his pain this past Tuesday.
I can't stop thinking about him and missing his presence in our home.
He ruled the house - unafraid of two big dogs 10 times his size who were intimidated by just a look from him.
Indigo was very social and would warm to visitors immediately.
Our little girl, 7, misses him terribly.
He had an overactive thyroid for years (treated) but in the end age did its toll on his kidneys and liver and we couldn't let him suffer.
He is the star with a Russian accent of countless stories I have made up to entertain my daughter and he had more personality than most humans I know.
I feel like I have lost a little piece of myself.
Indigo, we all loved you so much and miss you terribly.
I hope you are running and playing with your brothers Sinbad and Corbett who left you first.
You will always live in our hearts.

Robin M

Our beloved Indigo, Indi, Tweeter-bug, Bug, Baby Boy, Lover Boy, Love Bug, and Schmo, passed as we took him to the vet.
He was known by most of the people who knew him as "the best dog in the world."
He will continue to be loved and missed by his little sister Ruby (our Swissy), and by his Mom, Dad, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and dear friends.
Indigo. . .we love you and we can't wait to see you again at the Rainbow Bridge, where we'll go be with God together!

Sarah J. Graham and Jay N. Regennitter

He joins his sister stars tonight. They all will shine with God's Holy light.

Robin Donohue

To our dear family member, Indy,

We will miss you terribly.
You were a great friend and companion.
We will always remember you and I hope you know how much we love you.

Love,
Julia. Chris, Alyssa and Jonathan

Good bye my sweet "furkid".
Your Daddy and I will miss you very much.
Starr will figure it out soon and she will grieve also.
We hope you are feeling better now that you are at Rainbow Bridge.
I know you are playing and herding and protecting all the other "furkids".
We will see you again someday.

Robin Sulsona

My strong boy you fought so hard in this life. You had the tough life for many years of being a racing dog and then fought long and hard with cancer. I love and miss you so much!! You will have a happy pain free life now. You can play with Renegade again. I will see over the bridge some day sweet boy.

Your Mom

You were such a good fish. Such a pretty boy. Everyone loved you. You are burried in the garden with the flowers. You are missed. xoxo

Jason

Infinity was our sweet cat for 13 years and we miss you already. :(

Heather Howard

My sweet baby, Inge....I probably took you from your birth mom too soon, as you were only 6 1/2 weeks old when I brought you home, and I suspect that's one of the reasons you were my momma's girl, the first to greet me at the door, the one who, even after thirteen years, would look for me in another part of the house and settle in on the nearest comfortable thing, just to be close.
You taught me patience, unconditional love, and much, much more.
Your passing was completely unexpected, and I am so sorry I was not at home, with you, holding you in my arms, when you left us.
I know you'll be waiting at the Bridge when Reggie and Bismarck join you, and I hope you will visit occasionally until the time comes for us to be reunited.
Know that I will always love you so much, my sweet, sweet baby girl.

Jennie Mayfield, Dachsie Brothers Reggie & Bismarck

She gave me love and in return I have her mine and let her go when she said it was time.

Linda White

Inka-do was my everything. She was always by my side through every change and bumps that I encountered on the road of life. She was my protector and best friend. She taught me the true meaning of unconditional love and loyality. I was so blessed to have such a gift like her in my life.

Marissa

We loved you so much and you returned that love ten-fold.

Lord, may we be half the person Iniki thought we were.

Ken & May Ling Russell

Thank you for coming into my life with your playful, healing energy. I can't wait to see you playing with the Goddess. I love you and miss you.

Kitty Angell

Inky never missed an opportunity to sleep beside me, day or night. He was a rescue kitty that rescued us from lonely days and nights with his deep purr and wet nose kisses. It saddens me to think his last 10 days were spent in a kennel while we celebrated a son's college graduation out of state, and that his life ended on his ride home with strangers. Negligent friends of our family were returning him home when he escaped from a cardboard pet carrier placed in the back of a pickup truck and was killed on the highway. His body was never found as the friends have denied his true demise. Search and rescue dogs have confirmed our suspicions. Our hearts are heavy knowing we ultmately hold ourselves responsible for his death by placing him in harm's way while in another's care. May God provide him a shelter from harm and hold him forever in his arms until we see him in heaven. Tell him we love him and miss him oh so dearly.

Debbie

Inky came into my home after a series of hardships and was with me for 4 years.
He was a sweet, affectionate cat and I only hope that I was able to provide a safe and happy home for him in his final years.
I know I did the best I could for him, but that doesn't lessen the pain of his death.
I wish he did not have to suffer in his final hours, but I guess that is the way it had to be.
My heart goes out to every person who has loved and lost a pet - it is so much harder than one can ever imagine.
Inky, I love you very much and I hope you are at peace now.

Irene Chiu

Inky~ You were my once-in-a-lifetime boy.
I will never have another Wee Wee.
I know you are in a much better place now, but our hearts ache for your constant shadow following us faithfully.
Even in your pain, you cheerfully bound through our home making us smile and brightening our day.
Whenever there were days when I needed a friend, you were always there with your loving m&m eyes and warm kisses on my nose.
There is a hole im my heart that will never be filled.
Watch over your family and stay close to your sisters, Tater and Poke and brother, Buddie who were there to welcome you into your new pain-free life.
We can almost hear you 'roll' at them, giving them your big-man attitude. Wait for us Inky, until our family is reunited in love for all time. Know that there will never be a day that goes by that we don't think of you and miss you.
Thank you for your wonderful mark that you've left in our hearts.
We will always love you, baby boy..........Your Mama and Daddy (and Moe, Booger, Twinkie and Peas and Carrots).

Inky was a sweet little girl whose Momma Cat picked our garage to be her family's first home. A petite black cat with beautiful emerald eyes and a tiny, polite meow to match her delicate black whiskers and dainty little toes, Inky loved sunbathing and would be in the front yard flowerbeds to greet you when you came home from work or errands, or would be lounging on the back patio. The only time she put her manners aside was for chicken! She'd let you know she was in the kitchen and that she'd like to share. Inky spent her time until middle age mostly keeping to herself, then she warmed to a few special people. She became more social among her select group, and even made friends with a dog four times bigger than she was, sharing meal times with him. Inky was called back to Heaven after almost 11 years of service as a wonderful kitty who brought love, joy, and gentleness to her family. Around 10:20 p.m. on June 12, 2007, surrounded by her loved ones, Inky "Little Girl" Oswalt left her pain behind to join the Angels. She is survived by her kitty friends, Klauss and Elvira, her doggie companion, Benny, and her family, Lillian, Ron, Jessica, and RJ, who will honor her sweet memory with gifts to the local shelter.

The Oswalt Family

She was the most loving companion there was. Anytime she could, she was situated on my lap, hugging me and purring so loudly her body shook. She followed me around everywhere.. around the block, down the street, into my room, she was constantly always by my side. She offered comfort when I was crying, hugging me and purring and waiting patiently for me to feel better, and doing all she could to comfort me when I needed someone the most.

I miss you so much!

Ireland was a Lhasa Apso that I rescued from a local shelter for Lone Star Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso Rescue.
He was a beautiful boy, mostly white with red tips, lively and seemed healthy at that time.
Seven weeks later, he was still having some minor health issues so I picked up him to transport to another volunteer that works with dogs and allergy issues, which was what his problem was thought to be.
He was only supposed to spend one night with me, but it ended up being 6 caring, loving weeks. The following momrning I noticed him cough a couple of times.
I decided to leave him at my home rather than expose another household.
Later that day, he started having neurological symptoms - bobbing head and twitching in his front legs.
He was diagnosed with distemper.
It was such a shock because we had had him for so long and had given him his vaccinations.
Apparently, it was already in his system when we got him.
He was so strong that he had fought off the early symptoms so well that we never suspected distemper.
He didn't have the usual signs.
Ireland was started on some supplements and antibiotics.
I made a room for us upstairs and spent most of my time with him for the next three weeks.
He fought so hard to get better.
We bonded quickly and he would follow me everywhere.
I used that to keep his strength up.
I'd walk to another room to force him to walk.
He continued to eat well so getting food and meds into him was easy, but I did have to force some fluids into him at times.
He beat the virus finally.
His temperature broke and he started getting better and stronger. We thought he was going to be fine. He went to a neurologist to see what we could do to help him get stronger and started on some new meds.
Then he started getting weaker for no apparent reason!
We tried everything we could but every day he was a little weaker.
He finally got to a point he couldn't even get up any more.
We had to put him to sleep.
He fought such a hard battle and it broke my heart that he had gone through so much only to lose in the end.
What is even worse is that he had to die from this terrible disease because someone didn't care enough about him to give him a $20 vaccination once a year!
This little 2 year old didn't deserve this.
I'm glad he is now free and no longer twitching and in pain, and now running and romping with the other dogs like he was meant to.
He taught me so much about love, trust, and loyalty. I will always remember my lovely Ireland and the precious weeks we spent together.

Sherry Goodpasture

A loyal friend from day one. I tried my hardest to be the best and give you only the best. You were my baby, my companion, my little friend. Who would've known that in the blink of an eye a friendly dog would just not know you were not a toy. You have left such a hole in my heart that I dont know when will heal. I know I must be strong for you. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I'm glad though your death was quick. We will one day be reunited my love. My baby.

Diana

A certified therapy dog- she brought love to many children while working in my office.

Nancie Spector

We miss you, our feisty angel, but know we will see you again.
Until then you will be in our hearts and thoughts every day.
Love you Baby Girl.... Mom, Dad and Rambo

Irish, it's been one year today and we still can't believe you're not with us.
We keep your picture near us, always, and think (and talk) about you every day.
You'll always be close to us because you're in our hearts forever.

We love and miss you very much.

Mom and Dad

Irish, my precious baby. She was always so sad. Her first owner turned her over to an animal shelter when she was 9 years old. She was old, as Persians go, and totally toothless, and so very very sad. She had been there for at least 5 months when I brought her home. She blessed my house for just over two years, although, she never lost that haunted look in her eyes. I'll never know in this lifetime what had taken away so much of her spirit and soul, but I did my best to let her know that she was loved. Now you are at peace, my precious one. Please be happy now.
Momma loves you my little sassy Irish.

Irmy, you are so loved and missed.
For all I gave to you, you gave me so much more~~~ You will always be my precious baby girl, I was blessed to have you in my life for eighteen memorable years~~~I'll be looking for you near the bridge~~~Loving you here and beyond, MO and Teddi

The sweetest, most well-tempered, beautiful baby I've ever come across. Will be horribly missed, died far too young of tragic circumstances. Love for him always.

Kylee Parks

Isaac, you were a rescue cat who begged us from the shelter to take you in.
At first I struggled to accept you, and you struggled to trust me.
But over time we became friends and I know you found the home you always wanted.
I'm glad your passing was swift, but your life was tragically short and I will miss you in so many ways, and in so many places.
Thank you for being a part of our lives and wherever your soul has gone, I know that must be a good place.
A wonderful fellow like you deserves nothing less.
Goodbye my friend.

Rich Turner and Drew Leclair

One of the sweetest souls I've ever known.

Rhiannon Henion

Isabel was my very best friend.
She made me happy and loved me like no one else could.
She was a feral cat that I rescued from a shelter 4 and 1/2 years ago.
I knew from the moment that I saw her that she was my little soul mate.
My precious little baby.
She developed FIP about a month ago and I did everything I could to save her.
I finally had to realize that God was calling her back and do the unselfish thing and let her go.
I couldn't keep her living in pain just for me.
I will miss her very very much.
She is the most perfect cat I can imagine and I am so sorry she is gone.
I will miss everything about her.
The way we used to talk to each other, the way she'd greet me when I got home from work, playing together, laying in my warm laundry, snuggling, the playful love bites to get my attention.
I will even miss the things I tried to get her to stop doing - the clawing of the carpet, the noisy batting of the blinds, the begging for food, and biting off the corners of all my papers.
I will miss absolutely everything.
It's hard to imagine I will ever get over it.
Nothing I can say right now will be good enough.
I love you so much Izzy!
I will see you in heaven when I get there.
I hope that as I beat myself up over the fact that I felt my goodbye wasn't good enough, that you know how much I love you and how hard that decision was for me.
Until I get to heaven, I hope you will be my little angel guiding me through the rest of my life.

Jessica

Isabel you were always there when i needed you. You were always a bundle of joy and happiness. You were the best bird ever. I still remember when i saw you in the pet store, all alone and chirping silently. I still remember how me and mom got you before dad came home. I was in sixth grade when i got you. I'm now in 11th and i can still recall all the great times. My favorite was when jonathan and i built you a knex "birdie-mobile" you loved perching on top. I'm sorry i wasn't there when you were put to sleep. I didn't know you were even at the vet that day. Mom just came home and told me. I'm so sorry, i'll never forget you. I love you so much and always will. God bless your soul. Amen with all my love

My beloved Isabella passed away early Saturday from advanced cancer.
Her symptoms developed suddenly and the disease progressed rapidly.
Izzy I am so sorry I couldn't help you, and that your last days were stressful with our move to the new apartment.
I love you forever.

Mary Carter

Thank you for all the gifts you brought to me by being in my life.
You were and are so beautiful. Your fur, so soft and the patterns and designs all over your body were breath taking.
I loved how you would climb on me and knead my hair and head.
I loved how ou would talk to me and welcome me home.
You were so much fun on walks. Thank you for taking walks with us.
Thank you for being our sentinal and let us know what action was taking place around the property. I love you Isabella.
I miss you so.
You are beeauiful. I know you are a Divine princess in the cosmos now.
I love you my dear beauty kitty.
I will miss you.
Come to me when you are able.
I will pay attention for your signs and presence. I love you Isabella. Thank you for being with me on this planet, at that time. Love, Mommy Claire

My dearest beloved Isabella,
Mommy misses you so, so much, baby girl. I am so lonely at night since you are not curled up next to my belly. I have not taken a bath since you left. Life is just not the same. I feel the kisses you send me, angel. Mommy is sending lots of kisses and hugs and belly rubs back to you. Hope you are happy up there, baby girl. I will never have a heart that is whole again. Mine will always be broken. Can't wait till I see you again, baby girl. Mommy loves you so, so very much. You will always be my number 1.
You know you could not have been more loved or spoiled by anyone else. I am glad you were happy here even though it was not long. Not even 2 years. How sad for me. Thank you for loving me like I loved you.I love you, sissy.
Your mommy,
Billie

Isabella wa our little spit fire. We only had her for a year, but in that time she became one of our most loved animals we ever had. Bella had her own babies on Thanksgiving night '06. She had 8 little pups and 2 of which we kept. Her one daughter "Hope Isabella" carries on where her mom left off. We said Goodbye to Bella one winter night when the Schwann man came and when he left he accidentally ran her over. Just like that she was gone. The pain was almost more then anyone in our family could take. We have her ashes in our curio cabinet, and when we leave the house, she watches over it for us. She was one of a kind and we were so lucky to have been a part of her life. Hugs and kisses Bella- Mommy loves you!

"Miss Izzy", Mama & Daddy miss you so much.
You were our first dog that we got together & we were so proud of you!
You brought so much into our lives the last 14 yrs.
Our home is so empty without you even though your brothers & sisters are here, it's just not the same without our "Miss Izzy".
You were the queen of the household and you knew it. Kendyll misses giving you kisses & snuggling with you.
You will always be our special girl & will live in our hearts forever. We love you so much.
Night, night, Isabelle, we will see you at the Bridge.

Michelle Koon

I am so sorry precious baby Isabelle, to let my guard down and for you to fall off the boat and drown. My heart aches to just hold you one more time I would do anything to have you back. The four short months of your life that you were here were not enough and I miss you so much. Venus, please take care of little baby Isabelle until I can be with you both again. I love you both and will never forget you.
Love, MOM

I am going to forever miss you, my little hunter.

Kim Hoehing

Isabelle was the best cat we ever had and we will remember her in the nicest ways. She was a good, friendly, nice cat. We loved her very much. She liked to sleep with us, under the covers, and sometimes on our heads. We loved it when she fell asleep on our tummies. We will miss her very much.

Christine, Rich, Michael, Rachel and Katie Parsons

Beloved friend, baby, confidante, nap mate, play pal, all things bright and beautiful.
We need her and miss her more than words can describe.
She lost her valiant two and a half year fight with cancer...and we lost a chunk of joy in life.
We are counting on that Rainbow Bridge.

Doug & Linda Gilman

Isaiah, I love you and I miss you. Its been 24 hours since you died, and I am more profoundly sad than I ever would have expected. I didn't realize how much I love you till you were gone. This pain is almost unbearable and I wish I had taken more time to prepare to say goodbye to you before you were gone. I am so sorry for my anger and impatience and I pray that you know how much I love you. I pray to God that you are with Him and that you feel no more pain. I pray that my presence was a comfort to you while you were passing, and I pray that you weren't scared. I pray that you will never more hunger or thirst the way you did in your mortal life, and that your every desire will be fulfilled. Thirteen years ago you were a precious gift to me at a time when I was suffering, and you made all the suffering go away. I hope in the end I made your suffering go away. I know you loved me and wanted to be with me, and I will honor that when I receive your ashes. Now that you are not with me I feel your loss as a wound that may never heal. I don't know how to go back to the business of living, but I pray that God will help me. I love you Isaiah, even more now than I ever, and I always will. Good bye my friend. I look toward the time when we will be together again.

Shazia Lightsey

We miss you very much our very fine feathered friend.We hope to see you soon at the Rainbow Bridge!

Ed and Phyllis Terrell

You were the cutest and sassiest little cat, so clever and smart and yet so sweet and such a mama's boy!
I could always count on you for a purr and a snuggle and perhaps some belly kneading!
I loved the way you would reach out and give me a little whack on the bottom as I would walk by, as if to say, "hey you, how's it going?".

I'm so sorry you had to leave the way you did.
I pray that you weren't in too much distress and that you enjoyed our last days together as much as I did.
It's been awhile since you slept by my head, (since the kids were often in the bed).

I'm sorry the kids didn't treat you better and I know the last few years have been hard on you.
First you had to share me with Jon and then two kids came along and I know didn't get all the attention you deserved.
But I think you always knew how much I loved you and how special you were to me.
We shared a bond that just doesn't happen often between two creatures, human or animal.
I hope that our souls will meet again some day.
It was an honor knowing you and being able to take care of you.
I hope I did a good enough job.

I will miss you my beautiful boy.

Good-bye Ishy
I love you.

Kassandra Bradberry

ISAIAH WAS A REALLY GREAT SWEET AND WOUNDERFUL DOG. HE IS REALLY MISSED BY HIS FAMILY. HE MY OTHER DOG LIGHTING STARTING BARKING ONE DAY AND WHEN WE WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE WHAT HE WAS BARKING AT, WE FOUND 2 ADORABLE LITTLE PUPPIES UNDER THE BACK PORCH. ONE MALE AND ONE FEMALE. I NAMED THETHE FEMALE MISTY AND HER BROTHER ISAIAH. BOTH ISAIAH AND MISTY REALLY BEST FRIENDS. BUT THEN ONE DAY MISTY HAD PUPPIES BY ISAIAH. AND THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER WE FOUND MISTY DEAD BEHIND OUR HOUSE IN THE FIELD BECAUSE SHE HAD GOTTEN HIT BY A TRACTER. ISAIAH WAS SHOCKED. HE WOULD NOT EAT. WE TOOK HIM TO THE VET AND HE SAID THAT HE WAS JUST MOURNING FOR THE LOST OF HIS SISTER. AND THEN ONE DAY HE GOT HIT BY A CAR. AND IT INJURED HIS RIGHT LEG. WE DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT IT UNTIL A MONTH LATER. AND THEN IT WAS TO LATE TO DO ANY THING ABOUT IT. AND SO WE HAD TO PUT OUR BELOVED FRIEND TO SLEEP. ISAIAH AND MISTY YOU WILL BE GRATLY MISSED BY YOUR LOVING FAMILY. BUT AT LEAST YOU AND YOUR SISTER ARE TOGETHER AT THE BRIDGE WAITING FOR US. BUT DO NOT WORRY, YOU WILL SEE US AGAIN HOPEFULLY REALLY SOON.WE LOVE YOU AND ONE DAY WE WILL ALL BE TOGHTER.

SINCERLY YOUR LOVING FAMILY,

MOM DAD, NANA PAPA AND JASON

Izzy,
You were my first ferret, and I could not have imagined a better pet if I tried. You were a great comfort to me during some very hard times in my life, and your mere presence always made me at least smile, if not laugh out loud. I hope that you are not in any more pain; I hope you're now just as youthful and lively as the very day I met you. I will miss you, but more encompassing than my sorrow is my joy - I am grateful for having the opportunity to have had the companionship of such a loving, kind ferret for almost seven years.

"Good night, sweet prince[ss], and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

With the most of love...
Rest in peace

Abby R

Isis,

We miss you so very much.
Thank you for bringing such joy to our lives for the past 13 years.
Your unconditional love will be greatly missed.
We will also miss hearing you chirp at the birds, your warmth against our legs while we sleep, and your happy purr.

Although our hearts ache for you, we know that you are now able to run, eat, and enjoy the warmth of the sun again.

We look forward to the day we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Love Mommy, Daddy, Connor, and Miss Hannah

Cherishing the memories, until we meet again

Kerstin and Alex

"Isis" our first Std.Poodle. We went upstate N.Y. to rescue you.
Such a sweet gentle giant. We were told that the "breeder" kept you in a 5'x 5' area for the first two years of your life. On that cold, icy day, how sad it was to bring you by car to our home and find a collar on you so tight that it had to be cut off. Your color was tan, however after grooming, found you were White. It took a while, but you came to trust us. We will love you forever.

Rob and Carolyn

Isis, you were my heartdog, my first baby.
I didn't want to imagine life without you, but since you've been gone your spirit has always remained.
I hope you are playing with Opa and Brini and Spring.
I loved you and will always love you.
Mommy

Isis was the kindest most loving companion anyone could ever have and I was so lucky, so incredibly fortunate to have been part of her life for 15 years.
Making the decision to euthanize her rather than prolong her suffering from CRF was the most painful thing I've ever done.
Knowing that you are doing the right thing and feeling it are separated by a vast desert of pain, regret, sorrow, hope, memories, and eventually acceptance.
I'm just beginning that journey but it's such a lonely one without my Isis who has been my companion, friend, mother, sister, and daughter for nearly half my life.

Thank you Isis for the honor, the privilege, and the incredible joy it was to know you and love you.
Draven and I miss you so much, we love you, and you will remain in our hearts for all time.

I love you, love you, Izzy.

Diana Mikhail

I will miss my best friend forever.
She was and is still my best listener.
Although I am blessed to have a wonderful family and a great group of friends, my girl will forever be closest in my heart.
We have loved and appreciated each other for so many terrific years that will NEVER be replaced or even comparable to any other experience in my life.
I so look foward to seeing my girl on the other side and going ahead with her together forever finally!
I'll be back in a minute baby!

Kathy Carter

To my baby girl!

The whole family misses you very much! George has just recently joined you and I am sooo happy that you are with your brother now! I am sure you are playing and hugging and fighting like you two did back in the day :)
I know you are around, I feel you, and I thank you for that.
Keep on giving us strength. Take care of your brother now until we meet again.

Love you princess.

Annelia Ramjeesingh

We had you for such a short while but we loved you with all our hearts - rest in peace my little girl xxx

Sue

You left so suddenly, as fast as you came into my life so you left.We will be able to catch up at the bridge my friend, will be so happy to see you whole in body and spirit!!! Miss you

Birgit

Itty Bitty - we truly cherish you and are suffer for the pain you suffered in order to keep us happy.
You are truly selfless and we look forward to the day we can reunite with you.

Shauna, Chris, and Ruthanna Vandegriff

It has been 8 months, Little Pal, and the pain of losing you is as strong as ever. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you and miss you terribly. You were always there by my side, and even though I can't see you, I know you are there still. There will be a day when we will be together again, but for now, I'll remember how those big eyes would always look at me and how that tail of yours would never stop flipping. You are always in my heart.

David Jaspers and Debra Pyer

Ivan,(aka Ivan The Protector) your time with me was so short.
I only hope I did alright by you and that you enjoyed your time here.
You were so intelligent and serious, only I saw the furry puppy inside.
Please watch out for Bear who joined you recently.
I miss you both.

Sarah Dickerson

You were so special to us for the 7 years we had you. Someone dropped you off abandoned as a puppy, but what a treasure you were to us.
Your mom, Bethie, Red, Sadie and Sebastian miss you, too.
We love you, Ivan.

Shannen, Carolyn, Dick Adcock

Ivory - you were a feral cat and didn't like me much, but I loved you.
I don't know what happened for you and I searched for you but never found you.
I hope and pray that you had a good life after you disappeared and that you were able to take care of yourself.
I still worry about you after all these years.
I think you would have liked living with me and your mother and siblings.
Where did you go?
God Bless your Soul and maybe we can get to know each other better in Heaven.
I look forward to the reunion.
You are a sweet guy and deserved better.
I love you.
Sydney went to Heaven on 8/30/2007.
Look for her and comfort her.
I can see you two playing together over the Rainbow bridge.

Dianne Douglas

Im sorry baby! We love you and will miss you very much.

Whitney

Miss you Boy.
Get acquainted with Swanny, Toby and Leela.

Randy

I JUST LOST MY PET TODAY, I PUT HER TO SLEEP, SHE LOST HER LIFE AT A YOUNG AGE, HER BODY HAD A IMMUNE DOSORDER THAT SIMPLY WAS TOO TOUGH TO BEAT. MY HEART ACHES FOR HER, I CAN SEE HER FACE AND THOSE EYES LOOK AT ME WITH SUCH SADNESS BECAUSE I WAS ALLOWING THAT DOCTOR TO GIVE HER A SHOT THAT WAS GOING TO KILL HER. I AM SORRY MY BABY GIRL THAT I DID NOT SPEND THE TIME THAT I SHOULD HAVE WHEN ALL YOU WANTED WAS TOO PLAY WITH ME. I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF YOU BETTER. I WILL GO TO MY GRAVE FEELING REGRET BECAUSE OF THIS. I AM IN PAIN AND WISH AND PRAY THAT I WOULD SEE YOU ONCE AGAIN MY BEAUTIFUL IVORY. I WILL MISS YOU ALL MY LIFE. YOUR DAD, RUBEN

Our sweet Ivy was only with us a short period of time, but she gave us a lifetime of love and devotion. She will be so incredibly missed. Ivy was a special little girl.

Kim & Andy

I'll Love you always Ivy! You will always be my special girl!

Joylyn Lombard

Ivy our precious dog..You have been so special to us. I had begged Daddy for years to please let me have a dog. When Robs dog (your dog Momma) unexpectedly got pregnant and I helped you and your brothers and sister come into this world, Daddy melted and said pick one out we can keep one. I was so happy! To be honest it almost was not going to be you, I had decided on Corky because he seemed to have special needs and I thought I would be the one to handle them best. Rob talked me in to keeping you Ivy, he said, "Mom she will bring years of joy", you where a bundle of health and energy. When you were three we found out you were having seizures. You went on medicine from then on. I know you did not always like it but you would take it for me.
You mean so much to this whole family. You were the most precious dog ever. You were beyond smart.
Daddy knew how close you and I were and said he was worried if something happens to you I may not do so good. You were around eight and we got little Bailey. I was so scared at first you so big she so little but you knew she was one of us. We would laugh and say Ivy got a baby and it looks nothing like her. You never complained about having to take a back seat to her... You were always #1 she was just so little and kinda helpless you were so strong and much more independant, all though never comfortable to be any where but by my side too, that and food and yes tons of water was all you ask for and your tummy to be rubbed every once and awhile. Well, Daddy was right I am not doing good without you. No one will EVER take your place..I am so lost and empty without you my precious Ivy..you were and always will be so missed by this whole family. I said a prayer today that God would make an expection and please take you to be with him he knows what a precious dog you are, and the angels comissioned to care for me will go to you now and carry you to him. Sweet Ivy you are not in any pain now just play and have fun...All our love, Mom, Dad, Bailey, Milo, Summer, Brad, Rob, Caleb, Grandma Dee, Tony, Robert, Brian, Jessica, Uncle Carl, our sweet neighbors, Ron & Liz who loved you too and everyone else whos life you touched precious Ivy..We LOVE YOU!

Greg & Cheri Gill

Ivy Lou brought me more love & affection that I would have thought possible.
Her time here was so short, but my memories and love for her will last forever.

Margaret Malloy

I got Ivy when I was 16 years old.
I am now 30.
People keep telling me that 14 years is a long time for a lab, but I think it's not nearly long enough.
Ivy was my best friend.
She was extremely loyal, obedient, affectionate and perfect.
She was with me during all of the big moments in my life.
When my dad was diagnosed with cancer, she was a comfort no one else could provide.
When I attended college, she went with me, even to my classes.
We never spent a day apart.
When I had my daughter last year, Ivy was there to welcome her to her new home.
I will never forget you.
I know you are in a better place, and I will see you again.
I love you Ivy.
There will never be another dog like you.

Amy Moore

Our darling Izzie's time on earth was too short.
She was young, healthy, smart, and beautiful.
She had everything to live for and she brought much love to our family - more than I could have ever imagined.
She was our angel and life without her is so empty. We hope and pray that she's okay on the other side.
We loved her so and we would do anything to have her back.

We miss you and will ALWAYS love our sweet baby girl!

Cliff and Janice Cooley

To my Izzo,
You were a great and loving friend.
My precious "baby," you had personality galore and will always be our bodacious little Izzman.
Your love for the twins and the great care you took with them and the abuse you withstood from them speak more about your precious soul than any words can speak.
I am heartbroken that you had to go, but know that you are now finally free from pain and playing once again with your buddy Blitz.
I miss you terribly and will love you forever.

Kristi Vazquez

Izzy was a bright light in our lives. We will truly miss her.

Ron & Judy

A stubborn but loving companion who enjoyed a life most would envy.

Chrissy

Until her dying day, Izzy was a spitfire.
For 13 years she was my best friend, and even though I am left behind, she is in a better place.

Goodbye my little lamb, my constant companion, my precious baby.

Amy

MY Izzy we love you and miss you so much .Thankyou for being in my life I will never ever forget you , you were my 8th Birthday present.
Love you Izzy
love from James and Matt xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Izzy was my heart.
He was a kitty that never growled, hissed or scratched or fought in his entire 16 1/2 years.
He was such an innocent little baby.
When I moved to my new home he sat in the closet for 3 days.. while the other 2 cats explored the new territory.
When he finally felt safe enough to go into the yard, he would take a step and then look back at me to make sure he was safe, and then another, and then another.. he ate raw foods for most of his life.
When I was told that he had FIP and would only live maybe 2 months.. my heart was broken, but I made him so comfortable.. fed him by hand, he found a big box that he ran into.. I made that comfortable for him.. and loved him with all my heart.
I cry as I write this tribute to his sweet soul.
I know he is now with Zami and Max... especially Zami, his Tonkenese friend.
They both came to me in a dream 2 nights ago, to let me know they are together.
Last night Izzy came again in my dreams.
I miss him so.. I know that he is safe and happy now with Zami in the Rainbow Bridge.

Robin Blair

Izzy,
My room feels so empty without you being here to greet me.
You were and adorable and loving pet, and I just pray that you are happy and safe now.
I'm sorry that you left my life in such an unexpected way, and just know that I'll never forget you.

Angie

To our beloved Izzy.
Although you were only with us for 5 years, you have given us memories that will last a lifetime.
Your daddy & mommy miss you very much, but your sister Oatmeal is even more upset.
She is so lonely without you!!!
You shared your mommy's belly and never spent a waking (or sleeping) moment apart.
She still looks for you every day and hopes that you are coming home soon.
She lays on your Sponge Bob blanket because mommy hasn't washed it yet.
Daddy & I try to explain to her that we are sorry for her pain.
We know that your last 24 hours on earth were excruciating.
Daddy and I had a very hard time deciding to give you "the" sleepy shot, but we knew that that was the only way you would EVER be pain free.
Know that we love you and miss you terribly.
We look forward to the day when we will meet you at the Rainbow Bridge!
You will forever be in our hearts!!!

My precious little cuddlebug. What will I do without you. You were in my life for such a very short time but you filled it with so much love. I will hold you in my heart forever Izzy. Mommy loves you so very, very much.

To a wonderful friend who died peacefully and with dignity as she lived her life.
We all miss you and will see you again free of illness.
God bless baby.
Mum

Shorn, Eric, Dotty and your precious Daisy
