Year 2007 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "M".

You wouldn't believe how many people have written me beautiful letters and notes about how you literally graced their lives and mine. you taught me the meaning and feeling of unconditional love and made me laugh and feel safe. I hope I did the same for you. You are/were my very best friend. I will always love you. Always. I hope you know that somehow. I hope i can grieve in a way that will honor your positive impact on this world -- my life and others you interacted with.

Karen L. Goldberg

Mommy and Daddy love you and miss you. Alice & Spike miss their big sister.

Mabel, I miss you more than I can say, but I envision you frolicking at the bridge with Satay and my heart lifts just a little bit. You will both be in my heart forever. I love you, babies.

Georgia McManus

Mac was a loving and devoted friend and I miss her dearly.
We found out just 3 weeks ago she had a very aggressive form of cancer and although she had surgery to remove a malignant tumor the cancer had already spread.
I put her to sleep this morning and will never forget the love and joy she brought to me.
I miss her and I think I always will.

Karen Rychlik

My precious sweet Mac, you have been gone for 10 weeks and my heart still aches. I want to hold you and kiss you and tell you how much I miss you. I love you so much. Me and daddy adopted a baby boxer boy who has never had love in his short life. We love you my baby boy. I will see you someday and kiss your beautiful face and hold you so tight.

Jan

My dear sweet Mac has been gone for three weeks and the grief is still unbearable. I hope he is in heaven running with new legs and he is happy. I love you Mac

Jan

Mac was our sweet boy. We miss him so much. He was faithful, loving, smart, and had a great sense of humor. He loved us with his whole heart.

Becky and Andy Beyer

My Mac has been gone for two weeks and my heart hurts so deeply. I miss him so much.

Jan Bergeron

MAC would have been 13 this year. He was a great dog! He has joined up with his canine soul mate (Logan Phoenix - 1/23/94 - 7/4/01). He will be deeply missed by his canine family - Pepper and newly adopted Chico, his feline family - Mitzee and of course his human family - Haley, Samantha, Robert & Carey. MAC will be remembered for his crazy blue and brown eyes and his great big smile! Never to be forgotten! Rest in Peace, BUBBA MAC! We love you!

The Martinez Long Family

I am sitting here in tears remembering all the great times we had together in your 17 years.
You saw me through many times of trial and times of fun.
There were times when you fur was soaked with my tears.
There were times when we romped in the backyard chasing birds and squirrels.
You've only been gone for a few hours, but I miss you dreadfully already.
There was no one to try to steal my lunch.
No one to lay next to me in bed last night.
I love you Mac and will take a long time to not hurt so much.

Marge Gilmer

mac was with us from six weeks old up until he died in a road accident.he was very much a part of the family and is a big loss still to this day

Alexis & Wullie Henderson

Mac was a gentle, intelligent old soul.
He loved without judgement or limit.
A new dog will enter our family but Mac will never be replaced.
We love you, old friend.

Ron & Alissa Harvey

We Love you and Miss you Mac. Rest in Peace and we will see you at the end of the bridge someday.

Kevin and Tracy Graham

Mac Mancini
The Big Mac
Mr. Mac
Big Boy
The best friend I've ever had

Mac was born in France and found his way to my ex Brother and sister in law's. I met Mac in 96 in France and at that time I believe he decided that we would be
together. I left France and Mac disappeared for 3 days. In 1999 the in laws came to USA and decided not to stay but Mac knew he would stay and that I was his rightful Mother. Mac was a spirited guy with a lot of heart and soul. He helped me through my darkest hours and has been a devoted and trusted friend.
I will miss him always.

Across the rainbow bridge

Francine Mancini

I lost my best friend today.
Fourteen years ago I rescued him and he rescued me.
He was more than a dog he was a giver, he gave unconditionally of himself.
I will miss him forever!!

Mary McGee

It has been a little over a year since you passed and I miss everything about you.
Your life ended too suddenly.
You should still be here today.
I hope you are happy where you are.
Playing freely and spending time with your buddy, Molly, who passed to the rainbow bridge soon after you!
I miss the way you would stay by my side all day if I was sick and rest your smooshy face on my leg an tell me everything was ok.
You were one of a kind Mac-o-Man!
I love you and miss you everyday!

Mandy Walker

My precious friend, Mac passed away last week.
It seems so cliche to say but, he was the best dog anyone could ever wish for.
He came to us at a time when we needed a furry little friend to love, and instead he brought our family so much more in so many ways.
From the beginning, he was destined to be part of our circle, when we went to the pound to find a dog, Mac simply walked up to my husband, Billy, and he sat under his chair, as calm as we would have liked, and then the decision was made, he was ours...

He came to us sick, but we were told he was going to have a 50/50 percent chance of life, it would be up to him whether he wanted to fight or not.
Well it turns out he did fight, he got well and then turned into a sweet, loyal, loving creature, we will never forget.
He was a protector of our home, sometimes too much, he took on any foreign creature who would dare enter our yard, he was a brother to his favorite "sisters", Mandy and Madisenne, they loved him each in their own special way, Mandy would let him do most things that she knew he would enjoy, sneak him the pepperoni off her pizza, he knew she would be there to give him carrots from the bag, we loved to give him tortilla chips so we could hear him crunch them, it always sounded so funny, Mac would sleep in Mandy's room occasionally, he would eagerly wait for her to lay his favorite green pillow on the floor so he could place his head down, through the night we would often hear him patrolling the house, it seemed like he was just making sure everything and everyone was alright.
Madisenne was the one who fed him daily, made sure all his needs were met, it did'nt matter what she had to do, her day began with taking care of Mac's food, water, and pills if needed.
She loved him and showed it in the various names she gave him over the years, Little Jack, Chalube, Budgy, etc. he was their child in their own unique way and he understood them both.
I loved Mac but I would have never imagined his death would affect me in such a way as it has.
I grew so used to seeing him in various places in our home, I miss him greeting me every morning, that was our special time, as he grew older he was unable to go up and down the stairs so he would stay downstairs, he anticipated each morning with the spirit only a dog could have, each day he waited for his treats from me, we would both enjoy our morning, his treats, me and my coffee, he would sit on my feet, together, I miss that so much....
He struggled to walk on the floor, we managed to move every single area rug for him to get around, I will always remember the sound of him in the house, I will always remember his cute face, as he would lay his head on my lap, waiting for me to pet him, and his sweet sigh as he lay next to any of us at the end of the day....God Bless you sweet boy, I hope you are enjoying the new life you are living, Bye little Skudgy.........

Deanna Ramirez

Macdougal, Mcdougal,Dogells

You were in our lifes for 15 years. It was such a short time.
We can still remember the day we found you, you just climbed on the car and wanted to go with us.
You were always such a quiet well behaved cat, who always came when called and you never were demanding.
We will miss your cold wet nose in the morning, companionship watching TV, being a nusance at the computer and the sound of you playing with your toy at night.
We miss you so much
Mom and Dad

Maceo was the best damn cat ever!
He will be missed more than he could ever know.

Michelle Tucker

Macey, you gave me 16 years of unconditional love.Mommy will miss you greatly, you will always be in my heart forever, may god take care of you now.

Love Mommy

Mac was a morris cat-very independent but would cuddle and snuggle with the best of them.
His favorite past time was chasing flies in the summer and playing in garland at CHRISTmas time.
I hope and pray that he and my dog Shannon are together again until I come to meet them and take them back with me.

Tina Baumann

My dear little boy- was my sunshine and the soft golden rain and oh how I miss him. He was there all the time with his bright eyes and his deep rumble.In the end life was cruel but you will never be forgotten.

Kerstin

Great Great Cat. Always there for me love you always joan

My dear sweet Mack

It's been 7 long weeks since I lost you. I miss you so much. My pain is unbearable. I love you so much. I hope your running happy and free with your brother Bud in a beautiful green field and someday soon I will see you again.

I miss you baby

Jan

Mack, you were a great dog and you gave me so much fun and joy. I will never forget you Mad Mack you were one of a kind. You will have a special place in my heart forever Mackie.

Glen Wearing

We are all at a loss for words, but we loved Mack as he loved us.
He lived a long and happy life and we are so lucky and thankful that he chose to share it with us.

The Beatons

I have laid to rest my gentle giant.
He was the kind of horse that we all hope to find: he was definitely a one-of-a-kind.
"Thanks, Mack, for loving me so much, for giving me opportunities to do things and go places with you that would have otherwise been impossible.
Your pasture mates have picked up your slack, as they seem to be inclined to pull some of your pranks on me.
It reminds me that you are still taking care of me.
I love you."

Allison Toups

Your favorite song was "We Built This City" by Starship, and your legs didn't match. You'd sit on the edge of my bed when I was sick, and then swat me with your claws the next day. You'd snuggle into a kittyloaf in the middle of the hallway and nobody could ever get around you. And I'd give anything--ANYTHING--just to hear your mrrrowww again.

You were a character like no other. I hope you enjoyed your time with us as much as we enjoyed our time with you. And that we managed to do the right thing for you in the end; I don't know what my heart says. We will miss you forever and ever.

Christel

We will miss you so much, especially your mom, whom has been with you since you were 8 weeks old. I am having a hard time with knowing you are not here, and although I know you are in heaven. I just miss you a great deal. You meant the world to me.

Susan, Simon and Victoria

My darling baby boy. How mommy is missing you !!!
I am hurting so so bad. You were a huge presence in our home. You were and are part of our loving little family. Just you, me & daddy. It was perfect! I have to tell you this - I don't believe I have ever grieved so hard before in my life.
When I get one of your brothers from Joyce, I want you to be reborn and come home to me once again and I will never let you outside again alone.
We need you, I can't let you go. Please tell the Keeper of Animals this and see what both of you can do. I know it's a huge request but I'm so blue without my Mack, my Big Mack Attack Cat, I WANT YOU BACK. I love you soooo. Mommy

Mackenzie was a beautiful yellow Lab, a friend and companion, full of personality and could give a look to melt. She made friends instantly and many are left loving her forever. I was so fortunate to have her in my life and have her with me always, even at work. Thank you for your site and for the Spanish conversion as my friend,and hers, who is Spanish loved her as well and it was helpful to him in his greiving her along with me.

Dave Simmons

MacKenzie was a wonderful companion and a true Scottie. Fiercly independent, stubborn, and loyal. She had a wonderful playful personality. She will be deeply missed as she joins Lucky on the rainbow bridge.

Amy Smith

MacKenzie, we miss you more than you ever would know.
We love you, you were a good dog, and gave our family lots of fun.
There will never be another dog like you.
There is a hole in my life without you here.

Challey

Kenzie,
You gave us the most loved 5 years that we could have ever hoped for.
We miss you and love you so much.
Love,
Daddy, Mommy, Lexi and Ava

"Mackerel is a good cat" is what the vet always said everytime we brought him in for routine care. And he was. Our poor Maxie died on Wednesday and we buried him on Thursday. I keep thinking that if I can just cast my gaze far enough ... around the corner, under the car, asleep just out of sight there in the yard, I will be able to see him. As if his absence were just a lapse in the universe that could be corrected. But I know it is not and he is gone forever, and we miss him terribly. Tonight we will light your first candle, Mackerel, and we will repeat your many names: Mackerel, Maxie, Max Fisher, Max Fishbacker, Boy, Eggerel (for your tabby poached-egg-on-toast marking). It is said that if you hold on to the dead through grieving too much, you obstruct the ascent of their soul to heaven. You were never a cat to be reined-in, and so we will help to speed you on your way tonight. Sleep well and run free, our friend, and we will see you at the Rainbow Bridge when it is time. We love you.

Patricia

Mackie,
We already miss you and know that we love you still and always will. I know Travis and Diddy were waiting for you. The memories will live forever and you will be in our thoughts, dreams and memories. Love you Mackie bean.

Sharon & Pete Gilley

Mackie you are my forever dog. You were a great companion and a strong and loving presence in my life. You will live on in my heart forever.
Until we meet again...

Lisa Hurt

Macon was very much loved and is missed very much.

Jan Oliver

The most wonderful dog god ever put on this earth. Always so happy to see everone who came to visit. MacTavish would wait at the top of our stairs and watch for us every day and wiggling out of his skin till you said HELLO good boy to him. He was loved most dearly by everone who knew him

Lynda Lankford

Our sweet, darling little girl's life was extremely too short because of cancer, but we must accept that God wanted her.
She will be in our hearts forever.
We love Macy....

Karen Fucito and Denise DiMatteo

You loved us as much as we loved you.
You will always be in our thoughts and hearts.
We will miss you, our little Boo bear, until we meet again.

Sonia & Charlotte

My beautiful Madam Flo was put to sleep today as she had a malignant and inoperable tumour. I didn't want her to suffer any more, or be in any further pain. She came to me just over 6 months ago, with her sister, as rescue rats. She was a neurotic, fearful, sensitive creature but she grew to trust and love me, as I loved her, very dearly.

Goodbye my precious little friend, you are at peace now. God bless, till we meet again. With all my love.

Sylvia Millam

I miss you very much and think of all the happy times I had with you, Tikki, and Teddy.
Even though you all have been gone for over a year, I still think of the three of you each and every day.
I know Teddy is watching out for you and Tikki as he did when the three of you were here with me.
Love you and miss you sooooo much.

Katherine E Eady

To my beloved Maddie, you sweet, beautiful dog.
I know that you are at peace now, but I miss and love you so very much.
I love you always!

Lori Merrims

Maddie took sick on the evening of Xmas Day, 2005.
Perhaps ten veterinarians thought she had cancer and gave her two weeks to three months to live. An integrative vet treated Maddie with weekly acupuncture for 7 mos.(as well as w/traditional meds). I treated her with utmost love and lots of hugs, kisses, cuddling and Fancy Feast. After 1&1/2 years, cancer overtook her, and with great sorrow, I let her go. I told her that she can visit anytime, or come back to me again, which is my most fervent wish. This beautiful, gentle, intelligent companion did not deserve to suffer with cancer, but at least she was well-loved and will always be well-remembered. I thank you, Maddie, for coming into my life and bringing me much joy. I am crying, being without you now, but I am glad you are free of your body. I hope all animal companions are treated by such a compassionate veterinarian.

Hollis Greenspan

Maddie was the most perfect dog. From the time she was a puppy, she was good. Never destructive, didn't chew on things she shouldn't have. Always by my side and always watching over and protecting our three children. Maddie never met a stranger, and made many friends as they walked past our yard. I'm so sorry Maddie. You were my best friend.

Heather York

Maddie was here for a short time but was a fantastic friend while here! I love you Maddie!

Ellen K

Our hearts are broken as God has taken our beloved Maddie Moo home to Heaven.
It is a very devastating time for us, as Maddie was a very important family member.
I can barely type through my tears, that seem like they will never stop.
The pain is so intense, it is just unreal.

Nora Davenport

To my sweet Maddie, my best friend.
How I miss you and can't believe you are gone from my life.
I can't imagine you not being a part of our lives anymore.
We loved you so much and pray you didn't suffer.
You will never be forgotten, ever.
I will carry you in my heart and in my thoughts forever.
Your best friend.

Karen Heine

Goodbye sweet Maddie, we love you and miss you very much.

The Lapsys Family

To the sweetest most loving dog in the whole world.
Everyone who met you instantly loved you.
You touched so many lives and comforted so many people when they needed you most.
You brought more joy into my life than you will ever know.
In so many ways you were my first child and love. I will miss everything about you...especially your cuddling.
Enjoy your picnics in heaven baby girl!

Leslie McClarren

Maddy was sweet. She loved to swim in the water and would play "ball" until we had to take the ball away from her.
She was our first born.
She was with us as we moved into new homes, got new jobs, married and started a small family.
She always greeted people as they were welcomed into our home with a toy in mouth, a wiggle & a squeeking scream of excitement. Over the past few days I have learned just how much she loved to please those around her.
She was my best friend, a friend who has seen me in a lot of ways that I don't think anyone else has.
She will always be in my heart.
She has given me a different perspective on the importance of life & where we need to priorotize.
I miss her so much.

Michele, Scot & Amanda Thompson

The little black dog who lived her last day as if it was her first.

Michele Maloy

To our best friend, our confidant - our travelling partner and the child I never had. While we knew how sick you were we tried to make the best of each day but when your time came we hated to give in. You were our eveything - our fishing buddy, our hiking guide, my kayaking weight, atving partner - my sous chef -- Oh Maddy I can't begin to tellyou what a positive and life altering impact your made on our lifes. You are my heart and your are our compass - we hope we can live the live the lift you plotted before us.

PJ Savoie

Maddy girl, you were so sweet.
You ran and ran and swam until we dragged you away.
You were our first born.
Born in VT - home to CT.
You made a lot of friends and made our small family glow.
You are still around us - especially in our hearts.
You tought me how to enjoy the time that we have with each other b/c when someone is taken away - they are gone forever but in our memories.
Amanda loves & misses you so much.
You guarded her as a baby & followed her around and sat by her side until the day you died.
You stuggled to please us - even in your darkest days. I have never cried so hard & for so long.

The day you passed, my heart never felt so much pain.
I think about you all the time.
We will always remember your funny anticks - like when someone came to our home - the squeeling/ screaming sound you would make in excitement.
& the excitement you felt as we drove to the beach for you to run - swim and dig in the sand.
And you on a leash...ha! You rather walk me!
Oh, my Mad-dog - you were the best!

Michele, Scot & Amanda Thompson

To the best kitty we ever could have dreamed of.
We will love and miss you forever, sweet girl.
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and Michael (and Sienna)

Robyn Incardona

Dearest Maddy,
Just last week you were running around the house like a crazy cat and after a sudden illness and three days in intensive care you were gone.
All I know is that you're not in pain anymore and that you are waiting for us in heaven.
Thank you for all the love that you gave us, you were our dearest friend.
We will remember all of the happy times---"kitty bed", "kittty supper", "kitty treat", "tuna time", knocking things over every morning, "cover it up", "clean kitty box" and many more memories--6 years filled with love.
Thank you for your unending love and conpanionship.
We will always love you and you will forever be in our hearts.
Love your Mommy, Daddy and Jazzy

Today I lost my best friend. There will be no white and brown lump sleeping at my head tonight. just empty pillows where my heart lies. My sweet, beautiful Madeline. I thank God for the twelve years with you that he gave me. I thank you for the lifetime of love that you gave me. I was blessed to be able to hold you as you went on. Thank you for the sweet kisses. They'll last me a lifetime...they'll have too. No more pain baby...mommy loves you!!!!!

Laurie, Chris, Christopher, & Erin Ciccone

I miss you so much Madeline... You are my best friend and I will see you in Heaven. I love you SO MUCH! I wish you were still here :*(

Megan Ralls

She was such a sweet and precious soul.

Mike, Diane, Claire, Jenna, Michelle and Paul

You are, and always will be, greatly loved and missed.

Holly, Chris, and Monty

Madison was our little girl.
A blue merle Aussie.
We will remember her annoying us by pushing a tennis ball between our feet to throw for her; diving into the river for a swim (again after a tennis ball); and leaping into our arms (again for her tennis ball.
She was 15 years old when we had to let her go.
We promised her that when she stopped wagging her tail and her eye's were no longer bright, we'd do the right thing.
Without a doubt the hardest decision we ever made.
Go find Missy, Madison.
She's waiting for you at the bridge.
We can't wait for the day when we see you flying across the field to leap into our arms once again.
You were the best.

Ruth & Ed McKee

Madison was a very loving dog to the family.
He was very protective of Ricky and was his best friend.
Madison made us all laugh with his comical behavior.
There was no better feeling than pulling into the driveway and seeing his face in the window watching for us in his favorite chair.
We still look for him in the window and if we look hard enough sometimes you still get a quick glimpse of him.
We will miss Madison dearly.

Ricky Lodowski

I lost my best buddy on Monday when I had Maddy put to sleep.
She has given me so much joy and happiness and especially comfort when times were trying.
I loved her with everything I had.
She loved to ride in the truck and took her on many business trips and seldom left without her, if weather permitted.
What breaks my heart was when I took her in Monday she mustered all her strength to sit up in that seat even though her front legs were buckling.
I had my head on her's as she was administered and softly told her to go nite-nite and her tail would give a little wag.
I am just so heartbroken.
See you soon Maddie at the bridge!

Jerry Lambert

...for nothing loved is ever lost
And she was loved so much.

Joe Pettignano and Scott Diamond

WE LOVE YOU AND WILL SEE YOU SOON!

Kevin , Doris, Bailey and Sadie Jones

Maddie, our little girl.
Always loved, always remembered.
1996-2007

Maddie was a swetheart of a girl who loved to cuddle with her family.
She has left us with a big hole in our heart, but we will once again meet her one day to cross the bridge together and live forever in Gods kingdom.

Dave & Nancy

I never knew how hard it would be to let you go. We all rallied, even you...but your beautiful golden body just couldn't go on. I made a promise to be there in the end and when push came to shove I didn't think I could...it just took one of your trademark over the shoulder looks and I knew my place was beside Poppa to say good bye to you. Your Poppa and I love you so much and I thank you for 11 wonderful years of love that you gave to us and everyone who knew you. I know that you are with Syd and Cass, your sisters who have passed before you. Oh Maddy sweety, give em your best Elvis smile!

Luv
Momma (Rhonda) & Poppa (David)

There are no words for this loss.
I personally have never been through something so sad or upsetting as this.
Madonna became very ill the last weeks of her life that we could not bear to see her suffer so.
My husband who had her since she was 8 weeks old made this decision, I know with a very heavy heart.
In my 8 years of knowing and caring for her I can honestly say I never knew of any creature more gentle or kind. She made me into a "dog person" when I grew up only with cats in my home.
I will always be greatful that I had her in my life.
I know that we will for surely see her at the other end of that Rainbow Bridge.

Randy & Jeannine Seluga-Sister Isabelle

See you another day.
We will cross the rainbow bridge together.

Julie

Madysen was the most beautiful girl..she loved everyone, and everyone loved her. That is the legacy and memory of Mady - pure love.

Hillary Holt

We miss our baby girl so deeply.
She was such a special cat.
We were often told how smart she was.
The world has no idea what a special creature it lost this week.

Marita & Bernd Schleicher

Maebel was a puppy of 10 months, born with under developed kidneys.
I broke my heart to put this wonderful, smart loving puppy down.
She become toxic and ill.
I will miss her greatly.

Cindy Boisfeuillet

Maestro was my little guy, as smart as a dog.
He was very, very special.
He was a precious little soul and I will love him always.

Candy Williams

You were our special pyr-angel sent to us from God when we needed you most.
You were only with us a few short years, but gave us 10 lifetimes of love.
We miss you fluff-pup; your drippy lip and your fluff balls all over the house.
Your spirit will always fill our home.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

To our families best friend and companion.
The one who was always there or always waiting for us.
Leaving him was one of the hardest things we have had to do.
Have safe journeys!

With much love!

Cheryl

Maggie, I miss you so much. Our home is just not the same without you.
Charlie is so sad.
Thank you for everything you brought to my life - 19 years of it.
I miss holding you.
I would do anything to hold and smell you one more time.
Until we see each other again, know you are always in my heart.
(what's left of it - because you took a big part of it when you left me) I love you.

Elaine

Thank you Maggie, for your life and love and your immense fight to keep on keeping on.
You will

you and get your kisses.
Rest in peace little girl. XXX

Joe & Maryann

You will forever be missed my very best friend and until we meet again you will forever and always be in my heart

Danielle

There was no reason on earth for Maggie to love people and love life, but she did.
Maggie, rescued from a cruelty seizure 4 years ago and gifted to us 3 months later, touched our hearts with her unflappable gentle and loving nature, her perseverance, and unconditional devotion to everyone around her.
Go in peace, sweet girl.
You touched our lives more than we could ever put into words.

Carol

My Beautiful Maggie,
You added so much joy to so many lives especially mine. I wish I could see your pretty face and your beautiful eyes. I wish I could hold you close to my heart again.

I miss you with all my soul.

Your Mom

My baby was almost 19 years old.
I miss her terribly.
She meant so much to me.
I had open heart surgery in May and I feel she stayed with
me as long as she could to see me through my recovery.
Maggie took a big part of my heart
with her and she will forever occupy what is left.
I love you Maggie forever and ever.

Elaine Donlin

We miss our little girl very much.
She was and still is a huge part of our home and lives.
We did everything we could to make sure she felt loved and cared for.
In the end, we did whatever we could to make her comfortable and at peace.
Ironically we always looked to her for these things.
Maggie, we love you forever.

Eddie & Ron Pritchard

I miss the smell of your ears and I will never forget the way you looked at me on the driveway (you know what I mean).
Love you and miss you.

Thank you for teaching me about accepting love.
You will always be my little sausage girl, and I can't wait to see you again!
Remember how my most important prayer was for you, me, and Annie to all be together in Heaven someday?
Well, that's still my prayer. I'm so sorry you had to be all alone when it was your time to go.
You had a lot of lonliness, sadness, and pain in your life.
I hope you like the new furbabies...C.P. and I miss you terribly and pray that you're happy and healthy and loved. Please be there waiting for me. I love you.
Mom

I miss you Maggie... we all do.. so much <3
We love you!

Amanda Shatel

My Maggie, I miss you so. My heart will never be the same without you. Thank you for so much joy and love. I long to touch your pretty face and to hold you close. Your Mom

Sarah

She was our angel.
She left this world too soon.
We miss her terribly.

Stacey Sikorski & John M. Bleakley

Maggie,

My sweet, sweet, Maggie.
I miss you so much.
Although I knew you were sick and know you're no longer hurting...the pain in my heart is almost unbearable.
I've been flooded with wonderful memories of you since your passing.
Your fur was as soft as a bunny.
Your eyes were as golden as sunshine.
Your meow was the sweetest voice.

I miss you.
You passed away in my arms, purring until your last breathe.
I love you, Maggie Mae.

Love,
Mom

Maggie was my first puppy and was an angel sent from God - our family could not have asked for a more beautiful, faithful friend for the past 10 years and her death has left a very big hole in our hearts.

Kevin, Valerie & Kyle Mahoney

Maggie, you touched my heart in the too short time we had together. I'll always remember the way you'd search for me near The Bungalow, and then give a little leap of joy after I offered you my hand to sniff. I miss you, little Miss Maggie.

Betsy

Maggie will be so missed. She was 13yrs old, and just had finished a photo shoot for our fire dept one week earlier. She was a real trooper right to the end. We will miss her SO MUCH, but seeing the calendar with her & her best buddy Gord on the cover,will always bring a smile to our faces. We miss you Mag, our hearts ache.

Gordon, Michele, Tanner, Kayla

Maggie was a 2 pound bundle of fur when we brought her home. She grew to a whopping 6 pounds. I can't believe my baby girl is really gone. She will always have a special place in our hearts! I still sleep curled around her blanket, taking in her puppy scents and dreaming she is still with me. I know she is in Heaven waiting for all of us to be together again.

Joe and Barb White

To our beloved Maggie, smeller of all smells, she never missed a one!
To my girl who died with her eyes open, ready to move on to the Rainbow Bridge with all the courage she had in her life!
We love you and will miss you, but we know you are in a better place!

Jacqui Coley

My dearest girl,

Of all the Furbabies to have shared my house, you were the sweetest. You asked for so little and gave so much. You had the cutest face and the gentlest soul. I miss you immeasurably.

Mommy

Maggie you were my best friend, my confidant and I loved you more than life. I wanted to go with you that fateful day. I still have a lot of lonesome moments where I wish I could cuddle you again. I miss you so very much. I don't know if I could ever accept another pet. You've left a hole in my heart than no one could ever hope to fill. Sometimes, late at night I whisper into my pillow and pray you can hear my voice again. I love you my baby girl. I"ll see you again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Evelyn

I lost my wonderful friend anc companion,a lady Beage, Princess Maggie,she was just 15 and had Cushings Disease, her kidney failed..I am elderly WW2 Vet,I loved her so much and my heart just is breaking without her. I wrote several poems in her Memory. How do you handle your grief?,she was with me 24/7 and a one in a million love.Frank Sause

Maggie, you were the most magnificant friend that I have ever had.
You knew when I needed a warm head to pet or my space in times of trial.
I will always remember you bringing your toy/"baby" to greet me when I came home - tail wagging non-stop, only wishing for the slightest acknowledgement.
You will alway hold a permanent place in my heart and will forever bring a smile to my face each and every time I reflect on our many charished memories.
Be at peace my sweet friend.

Thom

Maggie,

Forever and always, our family you will be. We love you and will miss you forever.

Roger, Lynnette, Kiley, Erin Beecher

My dear Maggie passed away on Sunday moring of the 17th of June (father's day). She was a big cat with a big heart. She was full of love and was very laidback.

She gave love freely, and never misbehaved. We will always remember you baby, and you are always in our hears until we met again on Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for helping daddy with all tht love you gave me.

Maggie we all love you. You will never be forgotten.

Harvey Jacobson

Maggie was such a wonderful dog. In her whole life she never caused one ounce of trouble to us. We loved her from the moment she was ours and we do not know how we will live without her. She was our Nana, always pointing out where our shoes were when it was walk-time, or waiting patiently because she knew we forgot to do something, letting us know it was time for bed, or time for dinner, or time to go outside. She was so gentle and kind. Once when a nest of baby rabbits were uncovered, she carried them in her mouth, not hurting them at all. She was a gentle giant, so sensitive to everyone, and such a big sister to her real sib, Tallie. When Tallie died so suddenly last summer, Maggie stayed to comfort us, even though Maggie's health would have made one think she should have gone first. Everything she did, she did for us. Never have I seen such devotion and loyalty in a dog, and I have had a few over the years. My heart is broken, but her last deep sigh was the first relief she has known in many months. I don't think this ache will ever ease. I shall miss her so forever. I do hope she is in Heaven when I get there.

Jeanne Thoma

My ever so sweet and adorable "Mag Dag", you came to me at a time of loss, now we mourn your loss.
We knew the day would come, with you suffering from cancer, but it makes it no easier.
I'll miss you trotting towards me to play, the cuddles and the kisses.
Max will be especially lonely now as he has only ever known you, and he showed it by kissing you all of the time.
You will never be replaced, but I will find another to fill the void, just as you did.
Love you always Maggie, goodbye dear friend.

Sharyn Hurley

We love you and will always remember you, Maggie. May we meet you at the Rainbow Bridge once again.

Kaitlynne Corfman

Maggie was my best friend in the entire world. We moved a lot when I grew up, and there were a lot of times when she was my only friend. She slept under the covers with me at night, and wouldn't leave my side during the day. She knew me better than anyone else. I feel empty without her. She's my angel now, and I love her more than words can say.

Liz

We miss you so much Maggie, you will be in our hearts and thoughts forever. There will never be another friend like you. Grandpa will take good care of you now.

Joy Zukauskas

You kept me going when I felt I couldn't and brought life to our home and Roxanne and I will miss you forever.

Beverly

Maggie was the sweetest dog ever. She use to go to work with me and slept by my side for 15 years. She had the dearest eyes and was an old soul. I still love her very much.

Bettie N. Holmes

Maggie suddenly became very ill on 4/5/2007. She had an immune disease in which her body was fighting her red blood cells. Although her mind and spirit were still very much full of love, I had to make the heart wrenching decision that it was time for her to cross the Rainbow Bridge and wait for me. This was done on 4/16/2007. I truly feel that I have lost the most loving friend I will ever have, and the pain has been almost more than I can handle. Only a true animal lover would understand. I see her sweet face everyday. She is truly missed by all that knew and loved her. I think that this comment suits her memory best...."MY LIFE WAS GRAND"...Love, Maggie

Kathy

My beautiful Maggie,
You are being greatly missed by your Mom, and me, your sister.

You had a beautiful personality: so gentle, sweet, and loving. You were protective of us.

Mom still cries when we talk about the great memories of us.

We know you can now eat all the marshmallows you can, "somewhere over the rainbow"...
We love you.

Grace Cordoba

There is not much to say but I'm sorry!!
She was an exceptional dog, pet, child and best friend.
She perfect both on the outside and inside.
I miss you Maggie and love you always!
I hope I did the right thing, I only want whats best for you.
I miss you!!
Love Mommy

Ever faithful bed dog, I could not have asked anything more from Maggie.
11 years old is a long life for a Bullie.
I will never forget the time I took her to a Dog Show Class and she was mad at me for a week.
Now she is with her sister Betty.
I love you my girls.

Mallory

maggie was my linvg sidekick and companion for over 11 years.........

I will miss her and love her for the rest of my life.....

Bette Ann

Lindsay, Caitlin & Carolyn

Maggie was my best friend, faithful, dedicated, and loving, She brought sunshine to me everyday, and I will be lost without her.

Lydia Gregory

Maggie,

Oh what can I say baby girl?
You have no idea how much I love you.
You have always been my angel, and you always will be.
I miss you so much already, and I will spend the rest of my life honoring you and loving you.
You are the best baby love.
I miss you so much Mags.
Please don't ever leave me.
I know you are being well taken care of by your mama and your sister.
Give them a kiss for me.
Kisses to heaven angel...

Shelly

I lost my dear sweet Maggie last Wed nite unexpectedly. She was the prettiest longhair black & white tuexeo furbaby who has been with me for 15 wonderful years. I lost her sweet sister Chelsea just over a year ago and my heart is broken that I will never touch that sweet head again or feel her paws on my lap. I sent her to the Rainbow Bridge with a photo of Chelsea to be sure they are reunited there. Life will never be the same.

Crying in Los Gatos :(

Nancy Cohen

Maggie will always be my little girl.
She will be devistatingly missed.

Tia

Maggie was a special Golden. She always had a smile even on her last day.It won't be the same without her. We Love You girl..

Chuck & Shirley

My dearest Maggie,

Nothing has been the same since you left me that Friday one month ago. I am still in denial that you are gone. I wake up in the mornings and still roll over looking for you curled up in my bed. I walk in the door from work and expect you to be right there waiting for me. Ready to grab my shoes as soon as I slip them off and run around the living room waiting for me to tackle you and wrestle you to the ground. You were my bestfriend since I was 13 yrs old. We went through highschool, college, new jobs, bad friends, bad boyfriends, bad fiances, and hangovers on the bathroom floor together. You were always by my side to love me and just listen to me cry my eyes out or when i had fantastic news you were there to get excited and jump around the house with me. I love you and my heart will always have an empty hole that cannot be filled until I meet with you again in that field before the rainbow bridge. I love you bestfriend.

Jen

I will never forget my sweet wonderful best friend of 15 years who I had to put to sleep.
I'm so sorry Mags, I miss you and love you so much.

I can't wait for that day when we reunite.
All my love,
Carole

You sweet, dear kitty.
You have brightened our life in so many ways.
You have loved us so unconditionally, and been such a warm joy to us.
Our lives have been forever changed by your presence.
We miss you, Mag, and we await the day we will meet again.
Please watch over us.
We love you so very much.
Be free and happy.
No more doctors.
No more pokes.
Rest in peace and be warmed by God's light, my love.

Lisa, Tracy, Lauren, Kyle and Levi

She came into our lives and brought us joy when we needed it.
She continued to make us better people.
We loved her so much we were able to let her go.
She loved us so much she will never leave us.

Gregg & Vela James

I miss you.

Kathy Davis

Maggie was very much loved and will be missed we love you maggie lynn our little puppa girl

Shannon Nunn

Maggie will forever be loved and cherished. She was small in stature but her heart was gigantic. She could hold her own when picked on but really didn't want to cause a problem. Her little doodle dance was so cute! She would stand up on her hind legs and wave her front legs to whomever asked her to do the doodle dance. Maggie is in heaven with Panda and Divot now. We will miss her greatly!! We love you and we will see you again in heaven. When we meet we will all do the doodle dance together!!!!!

Rae Clayton and Lea Clayton

My heart is broken. My beautiful girl will forever be remembered as the best family member, the best friend, and the love of my life. Maggie was the most perfect being. I am sad she died but grateful she died peacefully in her sleep. The 131/2 years she was mine were the finest of my life. My one and only pup will be loved and missed forever.

Abby Rosenthaler

My little girl dog and best dog friend. She lost her battle with cancer and I had to ease her suffering. My heart aches for her and I miss her more than I can express in words. I love you Mags!

Kristine

Maggie, my sweet angel Pug we all miss you so deeply that at times it is unbearable. We loved you so profoundly and still do. You were such a happy, loving, loyal, wonderful friend and we hope you realize how very loved you still are. I am so lonely without you my little precious baby and hope you met my Dad, Ajia,Maggy, and Otto at the rainbow bridge so you won't be lonely either. We all will love you forever and pray to be worthy to see you again someday.

Christine Cifelli

She was a puppy right to the end, our beautiful girl.

Chuck & Lorraine Shefflette

Maggie lost her fight with bone cancer 2:00 am on Saturday, January 13, 2007.
She was just diagnosed on December 28, after having emergency surgery December 15 to remove a 7 lb. mass.
She was a fighter to the end, and wonderful dog thru it all.
She will be sorely missed-we loved her and still love her so much...

Jennifer & Darrick Sparks

Maggie, u made it thru Christmas...now go and be with your brothers and sisters-2 who passed on 3 months ago.

U were so abused..I just hope we made your last 8 years here good.

Now, u are an angel.
God be with you.
You are with God..

Lew Tobias

Maggie found me in 1988 and has been my sweet baby girl since then. So many gifts of love to me. So many laughs, so many cuddles.
You died in my arms last night as I urged you to fly to that place where we shall one day meet again.
I love you Maggie.
My angel.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

We adopted Maggie 12 years ago, she was diabetic for 10. She never complained about the shots, wasn't thrilled about the diet, but loved us just the same. She was so kind and giving. Her loss leaves us with a huge hole in our hearts and lives. We hear her walking, and I feel her lying on my chest. We see her dancing and barking to our claps. She deserves the best Lord, she took such good care of us. We pray that we can see her again someday- happy and healthy. Maggie- we are so glad you picked us, we love you and miss you more than anyone will ever know or understand.

Sarah & Mo

Thank you Maggie, for all the joy you brought to my life and all the love you brought to my heart. Please wait for me, My Maggie
I will always come back for you, Maggs

Cindy Bunnell

She was a true FREE SPIRIT never owned,but always LOVED...We will meet at Rainbow Bridge!

Rose and Stan

Dearest Maggie,
There has not been a day gone by since you went to "Rainbow Bridge" that I don't think about the wonderful life we had together.
You were my little "Earth Angel", the love of my life.
You helped me when I was sick, you stayed by my side 24/7, never asking for anything in return.
You gave me unconditional love and companionship.
I look at your pictures each day and I wish we could be together,I cry and cry, something you never wanted me to do.
So precious Mag, until we meet at the "Rainbow Bridge and cross it together". Your pain is over and you are safe forever.
I will love you forever and then some, you were my life!
Play and be happy, chase that frizbee, until we see each other again.
Love, Mommy

Maggie Mae - Your so soft, gentle ways, and

even your silly 'yip' are longed to be heard

again. Molly missed you too for a short time

until you two were re-united. You both 'departed'

too soon!!!!!!!!!!!

Betsy and Jack Zinkus

Our best friend, Olive and I miss you so much. My prayers are with you, every minute of every day. We love you Maggie. Love Mom and Olive

We will see her at the Rainbow Bridge, but it will be hard to be without her until then.
She gave so much love, and never complained about her special diet and all the needles and operations.
We thank Maggie for being here for the brief time that she was with us.

Sharon Dee

Maggie May, the sweetest Pug in the world...we miss you so much. You were loved by so many and you made so many smile. Our little comedian and lover of all you were also an independent little girl who always seemed to get her way with a cock of her head and a look from those big brown eyes. You are the prettiest pug we have ever seen and such a wonderful friend and loyal companion. We will never forget you and hope you are with your best friend Sushi. I know you are not gone, but gone ahead. See you again precious girl.

Cindy, Marty Berdan

Maggie May came to be my companion when I was very ill.
She helped me survive, she filled my life with joy and happiness.
She was sweet and loving, full of kisses!
When I packed my bag to go to the hospital she crawled inside and laid down, determined to go too.
We were never apart except for hospital stays.
The health problems she had were managed until the last 2-3 months. I wish I could have done more.
I love her more than anything or anyone. My heart is broken, how do I survive losing my baby girl?
Maggie May, you will always be with me, in my heart.

Gloria B. Smith

My beautiful Maggie May was lovingly euthanized this morning after 1 short year with us. She was a rescue as they all should be. Her former owners failed to treat kidney disease and pancreatic cancer. We fed her ice cream and potatoe chips before the shot was given, oh how she longed for human food. I think this was the first time her cravings were satisfied! I will be with you again dear friend, my shadow is gone , my best friend. I love and and my heart is broken.

Kim Webster

Your sudden departure from this earth just four days ago has left me heartbroken; however, I take comfort in the knowledge that I will meet you once again on the Rainbow Bridge where we will never again be separated.
Until then, Angel of my Heart, know that your spirit will live on forever in my heart.
I love you.

Anna Trotter

Maggie,
You will always and forever be in our hearts.
You have always given us your inconditional love and with that you have enriched our lives more than you will ever know.
We love you.

DJ and Mary Perry

To my special best friend that I miss and will never forget. I will always love you and never forget your way of making my life a much better place.
I miss all the funny and crazy little things you did to pull on our heart strings. Now you play in Gods back yard and wait for me to be with you again.
I guess you will roll over and want your belly rubed, just like always.
There isn't a day that goes by I don't trhink of you and say your name.
Thank you Maggie for the years of happiness.
They our embedded in my memeroy forever. So go play now with all your new friends and someday I will meet you at the bridge with hugs and kisses from both of us.
God bless you Maggie, Love Pop ( I Love You Maggie)

Farewell for now best friend until we meet att he bridge real real soon. Play and have fun but dont forget about us!!

Donna Reardon

My Maggie was my very best friend and companion I had her since she was 8 weeks old. She was with me 24/7 and passed away July 3,2007 at the age of 15 wit Kidney Failure..My heart has never healed since losing her, no dog was smarter or more loved LOOK at the poem I wrote for Maggie,click on to Memory Of Pets, poems and tributes, then click on the letter "M" and let me know what you think. Life will never be the same..Frak Sause

Maggie;

She was a wonderful friend whose favorite things includes playing ball,belly scratches,chasing skunks and barking at the mailman!
(Love it -Love it-Love it!)

She was fiercely protective of her family and friends.

She was not a big fan of baths or Doctor's appointment's or car rides!

Maggie will always be loved and missed by her extended family and close friends!

Jeanine Murphy

Magic - you touched so many hearts, so many lives.
Each day you taught us to play, to give our love unconditionally, patience and majesty, treasuring the beauty of each moment in our life, caring for ourselves and others, and that life is magical.
You never hurt a soul, always cared for our well-being and being well..
You were a magnet that people were drawn to in our home, on our hikes and out in the world.
You are remembered and revered.
We love you and will miss you - and you are always with each and all of us.
Much love, all your companions.

Judy and Tim Maloney

My sweet "Magi baby" came to us unexpectedly one bright summer day. He was the sweetest little kittie and took to my son Matthew right away. They became the best of friends. But Magic wasn't just a one person cat he loved us all and we loved him! We'll never know how or why he became so sick at such a young age. And we know that we did everything we could to save him. But it's still hard....he was such a good cat. He gave the best hugs of any cat I've ever had! We love you Magic and miss you more than you'll ever know! I can't wait to see you again, and never be apart!

Shelly

I first got Magic when i was 7 years old (i'm now 23). Him and his brother Merlin were unwanted by their previous owner as they didnt have the right pedigree markings to do shows. They were so shy. Magic began to become attached and followed me everywhere and i used to dress him up in my dolls clothes and take him on bike rides in my rucksack. Unusally, he loved it and even used to sleep in my dolls crib though he preferred to sleep in my bed snuggled always on my right side! He had a passion for noses and whenever one was in reach he would lick it and have a nibble! I never understood why he liked it but it didnt matter to me, i even wrote poems while at school about my special friend. A few years ago i found him hiding under my bed so we took him to the vets and they said he had a hole in his eye and it had to be removed. I was scared he would die but he pulled through.He adapted brilliantly and never let it bother him. Eventually, the strain of only having one eye and also having kidney problems caused him to go blind in his remianing eye, but this never stopped him from leading a normal life and even going into the garden! I loved him even more than ever for his spirit. I moved from my mums house and took him, poppy and his brother Merlin with me and was worried that he would become stressed not knowing where he was. I was amazed at how quickly he found his way around and quickly found my new bedroom and made sure he came up for a cuddle every night. Because he was blind i talked to him a lot which he loved. His head would turn here and there and when i went to kiss him he would lift his face in a smile so i could land a big one on the side of his face. He always returned the favour! At the end of July 07 he developed a cold so we got him some tablets but it didnt get better. After a few weeks he was struggling to breath so i made the decision to take him to the vets for a second opinion. He said it was time for him to be set free. I wanted to be there for him so i asked the vet if i could hold him while he was injected. The vet gave me a few minutes to give him my last cuddles and kisses then he came back in and prepared everything. I held him on my lap and had my arms around him. I talked to him as the vet shaved his furr and told him he was such a good boy and he was my baby. He head lifted as to say he knew he was and then i watched the liquid disapear into his little leg. He let out such a great big sigh of releif that i had a very brief moment of feeling exceptionally happy that he wasnt hurting anymore and then he was gone. I continued to talk to him for 10 minutes before i wrapped him up.
When i got him home i wanted one last look at him and he look so very peaceful, it was almost as if he had a big smile on his face. I knew i had done the right thing. I buried him next to my cat poppy who had been put to sleep on 3rd August (only a few days before) and have a beautiful Hibiscus plant on top. I miss him more than ever as he was my best friend and i grew up with him. His brother misses him terribly so i give him extra love to make up for it.
Magic has now joined poppy and it wont be long before his brother Merlin joins him as he has bladder cancer. I think about him every day as well as Poppy but he had a full life at 18yrs old and cant wait for the day when i meet up with him at rainbow bridge when i can have my nose niblled once again. I love you my Madgey baby and miss you every day xx

Hazell Tole

I knew you were special the first time our eyes met, and that your name must be "Magic."
There was no way to know our time together would be so short, but you packed each day you were here with a lot of love and life. What a good puppy you were -- not one moment's trouble.
Just looking upon you would make me smile.
Until we are together again, soon I hope, you will be in my heart.

Susan

Our beloved Magic was 8 1/2 years old when he crossed the bridge.
He was a loving and trusting dog, truly a human's best friend.
He suffered quite a bit when he was here with us, we now know that he is restored to his health and running around with his new friends in the meadows beyond the bridge waiting for us to come for him when we cross over.

Amelia Sandler

To our Matriarch kitty, we'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge. We love you and will never forget you.

The Peak Family

We lost our beloved Magic on a rainy morning on December 27, 2006.
We knew his trip that morning to the vet would probably be his last.
I woke my boys to say their good-byes to their "Mag-pie".
He had been failing for some time so it was not a surprise, but hard nonetheless.
That morning I took the boys on a bike ride and during the ride the clouds cleared and a beautiful rainbow appeared only for a brief moment but we all saw it.
I told them it was a sign from Magic that he was all right and in a better place.
We love you Magic!!!

The Sandhofer Family (Joe, Julie, Cole and Devin)

WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AND LOVE YOU MAGIC. YOU WILL BE TRULY MISSED AND NEVER FORGOTTEN.

The Edwards

You were the most amazing dog. My heart is Broken. I Love you so much and I always will. I miss you every day. I Love you my Magic Puppy.

Tammy

Magik girl...I miss seeing those beautiful green eyes.
I miss hearing you purr.
I find peace knowing that you are in a better place and have no pain.
We miss you baby girl....

The Norley Family

To the sweetest little soul that I have ever known. You are missed, and it just is not fair. You are with Winston now, though, and may you once again steal his bed and lick his face. We love you.

Emily Cox

Magnum, you will always be mommys boy and I will miss you always. I hope you saw Ranger come to the bridge and you are together. I know you never expected him there so soon. I love you always.

Karlyn Veltri

Magnum will always have a very very very Special place in my heart R.I.P buddy

Cody Campbell

MAGNUM, YOU ARE THE BEST FRIEND AND THE BEST DOG I COULD HAVE HAD. I MISS MY MORNING WAKE UP KISSES, YOUR BIG WET MOUTH ON MY LAP WHEN I WOULD BE SITTING ON THE COUCH TO LONG, THE SOUND OF YOU DRINKING OUT OF THE TOILET AND YOUR SNORING AT NIGHT, THE SIGHT OF YOUR BIG FLUFFY HEAD WAITING FOR ME AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS EVERYTIME I WOULD COME UP FROM THE BASEMENT. I WAS NEVER ALONE WHEN YOU WERE HERE. AFTER 9/11 I REALIZED THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE WERE THE IMPORTANT ONES. SEEING YOU WAITING FOR ME BEHIND THE FRONT DOOR WHEN I CAME HOME IS WHAT GOT ME THROUGH EACH DAY. THE WALKS, THE TALKS, THE TEARS, AND ALL THAT PIZZA ARE MEMORIES I WILL NEVER FORGET. LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU MY FRIEND. ONE DAY WE WILL MEET AGAIN. WHEN THAT DAY COMES WE WILL BE SIDE BY SIDE FOREVER. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY YOU CAN GIVE ME A BIG WET KISS AND THOSE HUGE HUGS YOU WERE SO GOOD AT. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW. TIL WE MEET AGAIN. XOXO JS

A friend to all who knew him. We love you Magster.

Magnum was (and will also be in Heaven) the most wonderful companion anyone could ask for.
He was so gentle, loving & playful, he was our child and we will forever miss him but he will always live on in our hearts. People tend to fear Akita's because unfortunately they have been given a bad reputation.
But with a reputable breeder & a loving upbringing and environment they are as docile as any breed can be.
Anyone who has had the pleasure of being in his company enjoyed him as much as we have for his 13 yrsof life.
As he got on in his years he developed a heart condition and was treated with medication which fortunately worked very well for him and still was until he started to have accidents in the house, became unstable on his feet and was falling down struggling to get back up. It is and always will be a very hard thing to do, to make the decision to put your pet to sleep, but in our hearts we know it was the best thing we could do for him. After all the years of joy he has given us we owed him that much to not let him suffer. The day we bought him to the vet for the last time, he walked tall and proud, he knew as well as we did, he was going to be strong and happy as if he were a puppy all over again.

Lenny & Lori Guerrera

For my Magnus - know that you were and always will be loved tremendously - you will always be my big gray boy.
St. Francis will take care of you now until I meet you in heaven.

Patti Sundstrom

Mahto was a very sweet, loving dog.
He helped me through an illness by sleeping next to me every day as long as I needed.
He was an excellent watch dog and protector of our human kids until his back legs started to fail.
He will be missed by his canine companion, Shunka, feline friend Cosmo and human family - Todd, Tammy, Izzy and Jack.
See you in the spirit world sweet babu.

Tammy Hesson

Mai Tuk you are my heart and soul. I miss yu every day my boy. Please wait for me and greet me at the bridge when it my time. I love you and always will. Mommy

I adopted Marian as a baby and she's still my baby... my companion...my bond-mate... my little bunny girl.
The sweetest, trusting, loving bunny ever.
My house, my life, my heart are empty without her.
I lost her to cancer.

Beverly

We miss you, Smiley Maile. You were the worlds best cat. We wish we knew where you went, but after all this time we assume you're in kitty heaven. I hope you are with Kirby and other loved ones. I dream of you very often. I would love a sign from you that you are ok. I'm so sorry you are gone. We all love you so very much.

Tiffany Wallace

maisy came to me october 8, 1997. i adopted her from someone that loved her dearly. her baby was allergic to dogs and she had to find a new home for maisy. we both cried that day when i took maisy home. i was so happy and sad at the same time. we hadn’t been at my house for an hour, and maisy pooped in my kitchen. i was very upset about that then. now it’s kinda funny. that same night i was laying on my couch on my side, and when i stretched out my right arm, maisy was right there ready to be loved on. that was when i really realized she was my dog now, and i’d love her forever.

maisy loved to go for rides in my car. we’d drive around out in the country, so i could take her doggie seatbelt off. she loved to feel the air on her face. her floppy ears would blow around and she’d smile. that made her so happy. i always took her with me when i’d go out of town to visit my family and friends. she’d ride in the backseat, with her seatbelt on, to be safe. she loved to lean up and give me kisses while i was driving. all of my family and friends loved maisy. she especially loved my nana and my wonderful boyfriend john.

maisy loved to run in the park. every year we did the bow wow run. she loved being around all the other dogs. we also enjoyed checking out the duck pond. the ducks would quack at maisy and she’d bark back. not in a mean way, but like she was talking to them. i always thought it was really funny. my niece thought it was absolutely hysterical.
it really was.

maisy loved to be with me and i loved to be with her. she was my shadow. she was an indoor dog and literally was always by my side. when i’d wash dishes i’d always have to look down before i moved away from the sink. maisy would have staked out a nice spot on the floor about two inches from my feet. she’d always wait by the bathroom door for me to come out. i finally stopped closing the door when i was in the shower. she liked to be able to see me. i’d talk to her and open the shower door to let her know i was there. she loved to lick the warm water off my hand. we both love being outdoors. in the spring we loved to watch the hummingbirds around the trumpet and honeysuckle vines. she’d run over, sit down very quietly and turn around and look at me like she was saying, wow, look at that!

maisy loved to play. she had this little burber blue star with a squeaky in it. she would carry it around the house constantly squeaking it. that always made me smile. maisy loved her treat ball. she would roll it around until it was empty. she’d maneuver it through every door, around every corner and out from under anything. before i went to work, i’d pick up all of her toys and put them in her toy basket. when I’d get home in the afternoon, they’d be all over the house. i’m sure maisy thought it was funny watching me play fetch with her toys. she’d always help me find them though.

maisy loved to look at christmas lights. we’d go to the fantasy of lights every year. our favorites were the poinsettias and the robot blowing bubbles. she was always fascinated by the bubbles, she loved to chase them and pop them on her nose. there are always a lot of children there. she loved kids and would always let them love and pet on her. maisy loved santa. we’d always be sure and let him know what we wanted for christmas.

maisy loved my boyfriend john. we’ve been together since 2001. in 2005 we moved in with him. john teaches school and likes to sit in his recliner when he works at home. maisy would sit on his left side and wait for him to start petting her. he’d always stop and love on her. when I’d give maisy a shower john would always be there to dry maisy off. she liked her face to be dried first and he’d always be sure to do that. john gave maisy her middle name. maisy doodle. he just started calling her that. john said it just made sense and it did. when maisy and I moved in with john, she stopped being my dog and started being our dog. john and I shared taking care of maisy. we loved it.

maisy loved getting treats. after she’d go outside and potty,
she’d come in, excitedly sit down and stare at the pantry door. that’s where we kept her treats. and yes, maisy was spoiled. we’d have at least four and sometimes as many as eight different kinds of treats. she really loved peanut butter bones and cheddar pupcorn. sometimes she’d get a little people food treat. she loved broccoli, iceberg lettuce, crunchy peanut butter and pretzels.
in the summer she loved to eat frosty paws ice cream outside. and maybe a little watermelon.

maisy was more like a person, than a dog,
to me and everyone she came across. she was my little girl, my baby. she had so much personality and was so expressive. she was always sweet and very good natured. she met me everyday at my backdoor, tail wagging, when i came home from work. maisy always had a smile for me. she knew when i was sad and would lay her head in my lap. she'd look up at me with her sweet brown eyes and tell me i'd be ok. i wish she could be here now. she was one of my very best friends. i miss her more than words can say.

maisy was the best darn dog in the whole wide world.

we love you maisy doodle!

Michele and John

maisy had been sick for a while. She was a
sweetheart and so loyal to our family. she will forever be missed.

Mimi Van Pelt

To my sweet girl, thank for the 16 years of pure love you gave me. I miss you.

Melissa Garganta

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

Todd and Wendy Hines

Goodbye our beloved Majah.

Rita and Michael Romansky

You brought such joy and life into my life. I don't know how we will make it without you. We will never be the same without you my little golden Angel. Our home is so quiet and empty without you here. It is so hard not having to tuck you in you little bed above my head, covering you up with your baby blanket and putting your little pink care bear right beside you before you would go to sleep. I miss you running out the door barking and looking for something just to bark at. I miss you and Montague chasing each over and trying to get Harley Man to join in the fun. You thinking you were as big as the Golden Retriever two houses down and running down there just to bark and run back. You were only 3 lb but that didn’t stop you. I miss you fussing at me if I left and didn’t take you with me. Yesterday I could have sworn I saw you out of the corner of my eye in the passenger seat when we had been out. That tore me up inside I couldn’t get back in after that right way and when I did I saw some of your precious light golden hair. Our car had just been cleaned. We stopped at a stand where someone was selling some things and I saw something Morgan would love to have and the woman said the stuffed animal that was in it was not the one that came in it she just thought the white rabbit looked better and she turned and got the stuffed animal that originally went in it and it was a Yorkie. I like to have fell apart right there. I had to get it. I know you were sending me little signs and everyone says it gets better with time but I just don’t see it happening. I will always have an empty space in my life that can’t be replaced. I will just learn how to live again until we are together again. Some say animals don’t go to heaven. I don’t believe that one bit. It couldn’t be heaven if you couldn’t be there to great me and spend an eternity by my side. I miss you so much words cant explain how much. I wish you were here with me but I wouldn’t want you to suffer like you had. Why you. I need you my Bitty Bitty Princess. I can’t wait to meet you on the rainbow bridge. We love you Goldi Girl. Until then know the house is so empty with out you.

Mommy

We love and miss you !!

William and Carrie Bruffey

To Our Guy,

We hated to let you go, but you were starting to suffer and we loved you too much to keep you here for us.
We know you're at the bridge waiting for us.
Thank you for being our dog, we'll never forget you.

Mommy, Daddy, Doug, Chelsea and Raven

A family man with a heart of gold. Always faithful, loving and beautiful. Missed dearly by his family and forever in our hearts

Andy & Kristin DePalmer

It was about two weeks before our wedding day that we came upon your precious little face. It was love at first sight and we just have to have you.Christmas and your excitement over your presents were a pure joy to watch and your first birthday with your party hat and frosty paws will forever be branded in my heart.My pregancies and how protective you were of me and the babies to come.

I miss you more than words can say.I wish had know that you my baby boy were ailing, how I would have done things differently. I never wanted to say goodbye to you but I knew I could not let you go alone. I will hold you in my heart forever and cheerish every memory until the day we meet again. Please know Muckimamie that part of me went with you the day God called you home! Sleep with the angels baby boy, sleep with the angels. Love, Mom, Dad, Nate, Haleigh & Cheech

Major just passed on today. He was my best friend. As I live away from my parents when I found out that he was sick I rushed over to see him. He waited till I was there to see me one last time. He will be greatly missed. I could tell when I got there that he was excited to see me, I guess it was just his time. I'll never forget him.

Corey French

Major

We miss and Love you! It has been almost 4 years sice you have gone. You poor boy, was so sick. I know you are not suffering any more.

Your Daughter is there now. Have you found her yet? She went there 04/11/07. Please look for her and when you find Heidi, tell her I miss her and Love her so much too!

You both were the best friends any one person could ask for. Not to mention how beautiful you are.

I cannot say it enough, you are missed so much.
There will never be another Major. We may have more friends, and we do, but you are in our hearts forever.

Please be happy and play with Heidi, till I see you again.

Cara wrote this for you.

Bad Dream

Today was like a bad dream,

My sorrows all beemed into my heart.

And made me fall apart.

Good bye my Friend

Love Mom, Cara & Tom

"googly-bear"---we will alway miss you and never forget the good times; your time with us was way too short but we all loved you dearly...no animal could ever replace your warm personality your big bat ears showing over the windowsil when we were home and your big meat tongue slobbering all over us.
We wouldn;t give that back ever.
Take care googly and we will see you at the rainbow bridge.

Love
your pack: Dad, Mom, Mike, Ryan and Tess

I will miss my beloved friend terribly.
Major was my partner, playmate and best friend.
He looked after me and loved me unconditionally just as I loved him.
I know someday we will meet again and play as we have in the past.
Major came into my life 13 years ago on Christmas Eve and I had to send him home this Christmas Eve.
I thank you so much Major for letting me share your life.

Candy Dolson

My faithful friend throughouot my life changes - always waiting for me, always happy to see me and always ready to play.

Leigh Quinn

I went out for a walk

It was so lovely in the sun.

Chasing the leaves, I was having so much fun.

Jumping and climbing I could have done it all day.

When I stopped to rest, I realised I had lost my way.

I love and miss you and want you to know , it was nothing you have done.

I just got carried away with playing in the sun.

Please try not to worry too much about me.

I can look after myself, and in a way I am free.

Although I'll never stop looking for a way home, we will never be apart.

I will always feel your love for me, deep within my heart.

It may be all we have for now, but it's enough for me.

Cause you'll never know when I'll walk through your door and expect you to have my tea

Kylie Lomman

A sweet and loving companion.

Louise, Adam Scott

Maki,

Thank you for everything. You will always be remembered. Thank you for making us happy. Watch us from up there in dog heaven.

We love you.

Lauren Cruz

Rest in Peace my Handsome Man!!!! You were the Greatest ever!!!!!!! Run and play with little Katie May!! We will see you again!! I will love you always and forever!!!!!!!

Love you!
Mom

Makita will be so missed by both of us and his puppy friends Ryobi and Hitachi. We were blessed to have him for over 13 years. The world and our hearts will have an empty place without him. We all love him and know he is looking down on us and smiling.

Ed and Colette Kokron

My Siberian Husky developed cancer and I didn't even know it till about 5 days before I sent him to heaven. We had just hiked and swam last week and he's been throwing all his toys at me to play!
The vet told me "he didn't want to leave you and he fought as hard as he could have to stay by your side."

I've loved "Makky" since I picked him out from a shelter, 12 years ago; he was only 7.5 weeks old. He was born without 3 of his back toes and the shelter told me that he "wasn't good enough to show".
I told him I didn't care about that, all I wanted to do is make him happy and spoil him rotten.

Makky followed me EVERYWHERE, he even brought his dinner dish in the bathroom, so he could dine with me! Yelled "yelled" at me when I came home late from a freinds house. Makky licked my face when I fell asleep on the couch, so I could go to bed. Makky softly barked to wake me when he had to pee in the middle of the night...and if I didn't hear him, he would get a little louder every 3 seconds till I heard him.
We played in the snow together; he taught me to just dive in and enjoy it!

We were INSEPERABLE. We swam in the lakes together; we camped, we hiked 14ers, we went for "bye-bye" trips in the truck; we snuggled; we played ballie/soccer; we ate spaghetti and we even brushed our teath together.

Makky was my soul-mate and I will miss his bright smile, his comfort, his gentle temperment, his ocean blue eyes and his unconditional love for me.
I can't believe he his gone and wish I could hug him some more...I miss him and my heart has a hole in it without him.

I hope he is swimming, eating LOTS of treats and running around like a puppy again; knowing that I will be with him again to love him as he always loved me.
God bless you, my little "boo-boo".
I will always love you and you will always make me smile and remember how much fun we had together.

Kisses and Hugs and rub-rubs,
Mommy.

PS- "I'm gonna getcher hiney!" :-)

Rest in peace, dear friend.
no more pain.
We will always remember you.

The Reids

mala was my first maltese love..she died in a fire along with petie and valentine....she was and always be my baby!!

Johm and Patricia Jenkins

We will miss you, Mal. You were the best and we hated to say goodbye to you this morning. You fought a hard battle and we know you were ready to go find Lanegan. Know that we will think of you often and miss you always.

Run in Peace!!!

Malcolm was an exceptional cat; every night I took him for a walk on my leash.
I hope he still gets his walks in heaven!
I MISS HIM SO MUCH.

Anne Gehle

Coney Boy,
You were such a brave little boy with all of your health problems.
You were such a joy to us and such a funny little cat. All of your brothers, Sherman, Petey, Lucky and Morgan have now joined you over the Rainbow Bridge.
Your soulmate Morgan, just left us two weeks ago and our sadness is your great joy to have him by your side once again.
You have waited a long time for Morgan to join you and we know you two are intertwined at this very moment and are so happy.
Mom and Dad miss you, love you very much and will see you all at another time and place.

Jim and Carol McDonald

My first son and my most loved, I will miss you forever and I pray that you are at peace and no longer in pain. Please know that you are always in my heart and I know that you are sent from God as a special gift and I thank you for choosing me to be your maw-maw.

Cheri Hopkins

Mali was my girl. She will always live on in everyones hearts that knew her. I owe my life to her she saved me a year ago when someone broke into my home. She pinned the guy on the kitchen floor. She dident let go untill I was able to get the sheriff there. She was my hunting, fishing, boating and 4x4ing buddy she enjoyed it all!

I had to let her go today she told me it was time I know she dident want to go she was being called. She was my loyal sidekick for a very long time. We grew up together literally. She was the only dog I have had since I was young teen. She was always filled with love never letting a neighborhood kid pass with out getting a pat on the back.

I could never leave the house with out her she went to work with me everyday. She loved my clients and they loved her she had a ton of love to give all the time.

Mali Girl we love you. No more pain girl. Thank you for the great years and all the fun camp wont be the same with out you by my side.

Love always Jake

Malibu,
I Love You with all of my soul, and all of my being.......I always will, and you will always be in my heart......My Beautiful Boy, My Handsome Man...........My Boo-Boo, My Buh-Buh, My Mooly-Moo, Boo-Bear, My Moomalooma.........God I love You,
and I miss you ALREADY..........
Thank You for being such a great friend over the last 10 years.........I couldn't have asked for more, or for a better friend....You loved me completely, and I you.............
I am so sorry that things turned out like they did, and I had to let you go, but I knew you were in pain, and I love you THAT much, I would never have kept you here for my own selfishness.....I know We will meet again one day, my faithful friend, I will be there, I swear...........I will NEVER forget you.........I can't wait to see you again.......Keep an eye out for me okay? Until then, I will see you in my dreams............
I Love You My Sweet Baby,
Forever Yours,
B

The sweet, gentle spirit in the form of Malichi, a beautiful gray & white domestic cat with hazel eyes, has left this world and his human family behind. He was 11 1/2 years old - extremely bright and wise but his body couldn't keep up with his super sharp mind.
He was love itself.

We know he did not look back as he sped toward heaven with his fellow angels - he was going home. He is now healthy, whole and happy - free of the body that troubled him and worried us so much.

We love you so much Malichi and miss your presence forever. You are adored. Thank you for our last dance.
Thank you for snuggling up with your human papa.

Thank you for sharing your life and beauty with us.

Idella Neidert

My sweet Malka chose me as her personal person when she was 10 weeks old, and we were together from that day until the last day of her life.
We shared 16 1/2 years of mutual adoration.
What a wonderful kitty she was!

Farewell, my baby girl....until we meet again.

Paula Platoff Clark

malley was a great cat . he loved to snuggle when we was sleeping and was a great mouser. we miss him alot.

Becky B

Mallie, you are my heart. Please feel better and remember me as your mom. Please be in a better place that I can't imagine.
I love you.

Lizz

My gentle, sweet companion.
You took care of me after your Daddy, my husband passed away.
There will never be another dog like you.
You are very missed by your adopted brother and sister Scrappy and Pepper.
I know you are running free with Mike now.
I will always miss you til we meet again

Joanne Zolk

She was our first child and a member of our family. We miss her dearly and can't wait to see her again someday.

The Bumgarners

MaloMar was the litter mate to MoonPie. She was my favorite. Perky, funny and curious. She came into my bedroom the night of her stroke and woke me. She was blind, but a fighter. She went as long as she could and then she was tired and it was time to go. I miss her.

Candy

Malti was a very special bundle of joy, pet, friend, companion, and beloved family member. She was loving, very active and affectionately playful.
She filled our lives with much love and devotion.
She was there to help us through many personal losses.
She will be missed by our family greatly for all of the years of joy and happiness that she added to our lives.
We will never forget her and will always love her.
Joe, beloved brother, please take care of her in heaven.

Becki Brito

Debbie

Mama... a brave and loving dog that came to our lives only to provide us with unconditional love and happiness.

More than a pet, she will always be part of my family.

Her memory will never be forgotten. And she will live on in our hearts until we meet again in heaven.

Elizabeth Meneses

Our curly haired baby girl, you will always be in our hearts. Thank you for all the wonderful years and joy you gave without expecting anything in return except a warm lap and a gentle hand.
You are loved.

Joanne Wargel

Several days have passed since you left me for the Rainbow Bridge.
I keep wondering when it is going to get easier.
I know how hard you fought, sweet baby.
What I wouldn't give to just rub your little forehead or your back one last time.
I know how much you loved me, because you told me so after dragging yourself home after that vicious attack, but I somehow feel cheated on how many times I got to tell you.
I will never, ever forget the nearly three years we spent together.
You were my kitty, and I, your forever loving Mom.
I miss you Mama Cass.
Until the time we meet again, Mommie.

I had you for as long as I could remember.
You've seen me grow in so many ways.
You were there on my first day of kindergarten and you saw me all the way through college and my first real job. I am thankful for all the years I had with you and I will miss you forever. I know you're in a better place now, free of tumors, deafness, and pain.
But I miss you still. I love you Mama Cat. I'll see you later.

Beth

I adopted you out of kindness, for adult cats are often passed by at pet adoption events, but you had such a sweet spirit and came right to me.
I knew you'd had kittens, and my little one, Jet, took to you like a mother.
He misses you already.
When I got you home, I knew something wasn't right, because you began to give up on life, even though you were brought into a loving household as a pet.
We found out you had a terminal illness, and we had to let you go, just three weeks after coming home, because you would have suffered more had we kept you here.
You have some friends waiting for you, my fur-babies of the past:
Geordi, Phoenix, Storm, Raven, Angel, Tails, and Randy.
They'll look after you and keep you company, as they did for me.
My unborn son will keep you company, too, and play with you, and love you just like we did, as he never had the chance to love an animal on this Earth before he was taken away.
You're not sick, and you're not alone anymore. Rest in peace.

Sarah J. Van Bibber

My sweet girl.. you are so missed.
You brought so much joy into my life.
Your memory will live on forever in my heart and Smokey's.
We both miss you everyday.

I hope you are at peace now.

I love you always...

Tracy Kerr

We love you Mama Kitty...it is time for you to go play with Fuzzy Boy.
We miss and love you both!

Cindy & Tara English

Mama, my sweet sweet kitty.
I love you now and forever.
You were the greatest kitty, and never gave me any trouble. You were my best freind and stuck by me no matter what.
You will always be beautiful.
I and everyone who knew you Loves you and wishes you peace and happyness and lots of food and treats and sunny places to sleep in.
Love, your mommy... Von

MamaMeow was a foster cat who lived with me for 1 1/2 years.
She was a sweet, cranky,
beautiful, big, green-eyed girl with so much love to give.
I am so thankful to have been able to give you a "foster" home...though we all know it was your permanent, forever home as long as you wanted it to be.
We will miss you and think of you.
I hope you like the lilac bush we planted for you outside the bedroom window you were always sitting in.
I love you.

Jennifer Tretter

You were our 'precious baby'.
Left on the vet's doorstep when you were only 5 weeks and expected to die.
You lived and in doing so gave us almost 16 of the most wonderful years imagineable.
Full of love and warm and happy interactions.
You were Peter's 21st birthday present cause we know every guy wants a puppy for his 21st birthday and you were super special.
You adored him and you were his best and longest company.
Where you are going I know all your little buddies will be there waiting for you , Kim and Fox and the others that you never knew.
And you will leave a hole in hearts ...because you were our precious baby.

Dimi Stevenson

Mambo dawg the gentleman, you are now with Shelby waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge.
You had a great 15 year innings but it was time to go buddy.
Rest now.

Toni Zeppellini

We will miss you every morning.
You made each day special.
It was a pleasure to take care of you and your babies.
Go find your babies at Rainbow Bridge.

Jack & Laura Robbins and Ken & Gloria Crast

You were the sweetest dog and I miss you so much. You have given me such happiness these past 12 years. I don't know what I would've done without you!
I hope that you have a nice bed to sleep on and you are watching over us like the great guard dog that you were! I love you so much, Manchas!!

Erica Tejada

Manda was my Thanksgiving gift in 1989; a rescue from a family who abandoned her at a young age and left her to fight and starve.
Her basic needs were shelter, food and love, and not in that order.
She was a medium-haired blue and white cat, with yellow and green eyes, a pretty face, and spotted like a Holstein cow.

When she came to me through a friend of a co-worker, she immediately knew that I was her 'Mom,' despite many others in the office.
She vigorously defended me, and occasionally swatted a potential boyfriend or otherwise protected me physically, although I never knew why. And she bonded with many of my non-cat friends. Turns out that she was an excellent judge of character.

No matter what hour I came home, she greeted me at the door with her tail wagging.
She got me up every morning, and and licked water off the shower or bathtub floor, and lied there until I got dressed.
She even told me when I looked good!

When I was sick, she was there to comfort me.
When I was happy, she was there to experience joy.
Always mischievous and playful, until she turned 15.
After a short decline, Manda was diagnosed with fatty liver disease.
5 intense weeks of treatment later, including feeding through an IV tube and receiving many meds, she recovered.
Spit out her feeding tube the morning we went back to vet for final recheck.
Although I was never given much hope by humans, we sat down and had a talk one night, and she told me that she wanted to get better.
And I told her that my job was to help her.
We kept our bargain.

Manda turned 18 in mid-May.
She had a completely normal veterinary check with full diagnostic in March.
However, I knew something was wrong.
She wasn't acting her normal self.
She just couldn't tell me exactly what it was.
Late in the last week of June, she began hiding and not eating much.
She still got me up and took her morning showers, and got me to bed, but something was terribly wrong.
We spent the 4th of July together, and I knew it would be our last holiday, and long day together.
She stretched out on the couch and let me photograph her.
She sang to me, and we watched fireworks on tv, as I wouldn't leave her side.
In a way, we said goodbye, as I knew it was close to the end.

The next day, I took her to the vet, to see if she could be made more comfortable.
Her breathing was labored, she had fluid in her lungs, and she was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.
She sat in a window, allowing me to groom her, and when we got the news, I cried, and she laid her head in my hands, and told me it was OK to let her go -- she knew it was the end, even if I didn't.
So that's what we did.
Everthing was very peaceful, there was no pain from the anesthesia.
The moment she left, I could feel her leave; she was in kitty heaven.
I petted her for some time, and grieved, and even had part of her fur shaved for a keepsake.
When I was ready, I carried her to the back of the vet's office, and left a bit later.

Manda has now joined her angel who visited her on earth from time to time.
She will always be my wise and warm comfort cat, who will live on in spirit.

Mandi, your life ended way to soon, but you put such a impression in our hearts.
We are going to miss so, now who is going to play with DJ in the yard?
Who is going to curl up with Kayla in bed?
Who can Brayden steal food from?
Who will pick up Brayden's food all over the floor when he is done eating?
What is Daddy going to do with out his weekend buddy when Mommy takes the kids out?
And now there is no one for Mommy to come home to at night after work and play with and cuddle with on the couch while every one else is asleep.
Mandi we love you so much you were my 4th baby, we miss too much to say.
Goodbye baby we love you!!

Daddy, Mommy, Kayla, DJ, and Brayden

In memory of our beloved Mandi. For 16 years you were loved unconditionaly! We all love and miss you sooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!

Judi Zukor

Mandi has been in my life since I was 14 years old! She was the most wonderful dog ever! When I left home for college she comforted my mom. She was a part of my family, like my sister really :)
She was my mom's baby! She would follow my mom around to see what she was doing. She always waited for my dad to come home. She would look out the window waiting, she knew what time he should be home. When she was sick she would lay on the floor watching the wall for the shadow from his truck and start barking.
She had such a personality right up to the end! I loved her so much and will miss her dearly. I still can't believe she is gone.

Shana

Mandi We love you so much and are so sad that you are no longer with us.
I wish I could change what happened.
You were the most loving wonderful pet.
You were always there for us in good and bad.
I am going to miss you cuddling on my lap, chasing Hanne around to get her food, all our walks...We will miss everything about you!
We are so thankful that you were in our lives.
We are deeply saddened that you are no longer with us.
I am sorry Mandi that I could not save you.
We want you to know you are the best and we will cherish you forever.
We will see you in heaven some day.
Til then, We love and miss you so much.
Love your loving family.

I never thought it would be so hard, I miss you so much. Thank you for sharing your wonderful soul with me on earth, I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you also for not making me make any decisions for you, I would't have been able to. You were the best dog ever. Say hi to Pokey for me, and watch over Opal please. 14 years with you, I wish I would have had you for the first two. I'll love you always Mandi, wait for me, I'll see you some day.
Love and kisses,
Mom

Shaddow was the best of friends and best of dogs. He saved me from boredom as a young girl as he became my "lion" my "golden pony" and my "jumping horse". I trained him to pull a wagon, race me (he generally won...) jump on command, give hugs, dance, and he was a Grand Champion obedience show dog at local shows. As a puppy I'll never forget him bravely standing his ground atop his dog house while a snake loomed on the ground below. As the years went on Shaddow grew ill and became my constant companion. No longer jumping and playing but always sleeping at my feet, next to my bed at night and constantly at my side. He never complained, always thumped his tail in welcome and still smiled with the best of them. He was almost 13 years old but still did not have one grey hair on his handsome face. When the day came to let my Shaddow go, I knew it was probably past time, he could no longer get up on his own and barely would eat.
He carried me from childhood to adulthood and was the one thing in life I could count on. I still "hear" his tags rattling, still see him just around the corner. If dogs do indeed go to Heaven my Shaddow will be in the highest place of esteem. There was no dog better for me.
Even now, nearly a year later, I still feel like I've lost my right arm. No other dog measures up, probably never will. Shaddow, You were more than a dog. You were the love of my life, my very best friend.

Mandi

Mandy was a beautiful girl who lost her battle with nasal cancer. Radiation treatment 2 years ago gave us additional time with her. She was happy and loved her family. Her passing was like losing a member of the family. That void will never be filled. We love you Mandy and we will see you again in Heaven! Dad & Mom

My sweetie girl I miss you so much.
You were always so good.
You are in my heart forever and ever. I love you, Mom

Pam DeCicco

Mandy was an exceptional girl.
She loved everyone she came in contact with and required nothing in return.
She was gracious and dignified.
We are so thankful for her presence in our lives.
She taught us to love unconditionally and her passing is helping us to learn one of life's toughest lessons, letting go.
She died peacefully at home with her family by her side.
Another confirmation for us that God is great!

Pam Jump

Mandy, you were the light of my life my constant companion and friend.
I will never forget you.
You have walked across my heart and taken a place forever there.
I miss you deeply and will love you always.

Linda Roche

I love you Mandy, I really do,
I love you Mandy, yes I love you.
The sweetest little girl, the bravest little dog,
The Best Little Girl In the Whole Wide World,

I love you Mandy, I really do,
I love you Mandy, I had to say goodbye to you.

I love you Mandy, I really do,
Somehow Mandy, I will make it through.

I will look forward to seeing you at Rainbow Bridge

Patti-Beth Jones

To Miss Mandy,
We will miss the little cat with the loud roar. You had 19+ wonderful years. Godspeed to Rainbow Bridge and your other Mommy.

Anne and Bob Anderson

Mandy, our first Old English Sheepdog girl, we will never forget you. When we first got you, you were kind of messy-looking, but that's what attracted us to you in the first place. When we took you home and cleaned you up, we knew were a treasure, like a diamond in the rough. You were very bossy and vocal, a furry "diva", so we had no choice but to spoil you rotten. When you became too old and ill to get around, we made the difficult decision to end your suffering. It pained us to have to part, but you will be in our thoughts and hearts forever.
Love,
Gail,Jack, and Colleen, your human family

I've always missed you dearly Mander-Moo. I have your picture prominently displayed in my apartment and sometimes when I look at it, it's almost as if you're actually here again -- getting underfoot and having to be whever I was ... I still feel the love for you I had from the first day you entered my life. My memories will forever keep you alive in my heart. SMOOOOOOCH!!! right on the nose (white you hated/loved) it all.

Zephellin

Mandy,

Even after almost 2 years, I still miss you.
You were my sunshine, a wonderful and devoted companion and I'll never forget you.

Mary

Sweet Mandy,
You were so brave the day you fell coming back from the beach.
You tried so hard to get up and we knew how much you wanted to walk with dignity back to the car.
We all sat beside you and cried as we told you it was okay.
You did carry yourself with dignity to the end.
You walked back to the car, and were carefully picked up by dad and placed on your blanket.
You tried to get better.
You didn't want to leave us, and we wanted to keep you with us.
After 7 days of battling pain, the decision was hard.
We knew we had to let you go and run free.
We held you in our arms and watched you relax and finally leave us.
As we hugged you and cried.
Our best friend, protector and warm comfort was gone. Our memories live on.
You left a lasting part of you in Holly.
You taught her to swim in a lake, gently play with the kids, and most of all carry on where you left off.
Your blanket remains in front of the fireplace and pictures are gentle reminders that you are in a better place with our Lord.
Be free, Mandy, till we meet again.

Bill, Linda, Katie, Amy, Nicholas

This is to our dearly loved dog Mandy. She had several names Mandy, Mans, Pookie, Pookiedog. No matter which one she would come running. Mandy was an accidental adoption. As a puppy she wandered into our lives. Mandy was always there to comfort us in our hour of need. On Wed. Jan. 10 2007 it was us who came to her comfort. Having cancer of the liver we had no choice but to end her suffering. She was no doubt the most special dog either of us has ever know. She has now passed over rainbow bridge and is playing as she did as a young puppy. My wife and I both are waiting the day that we approach rainbow bridge and hear the familar sound of her and are reunited as the family we once were.. To Mandy Mommy and Daddy love you very much. Be a good girl and wait for us

Kate and Ira Trexler

I lost my 2 best friends just 3 monthes apart. They are deepley loved and missed.
I will be looking for both of you at Rainbow Bridge. Love Always, Mom

Mandy is my best friend. I was so blessed to have her light in my life for 16 years.
She joined our family when I was in 4th grade, and I don't remember life without her. She was my friend through the terrible shyness that plagued me as a child, my mother’s cancer, and all the other trials I have endured. Her father left us 12/31/98. I hope they are together. I love her beyond words. My heart is broken.

Leslie Booth

Mandy was a very special little girl.
She had so many problems for such a long time but she fought them and was a tuff one.
Please Mandy know that I done all I knew how to do and tried to care for you the best I could.
I am going to miss you so much.
There is such a big void in my life now.
Such an emptiness.
I pray that it is true that little dogs do go to Heaven and that you are there in peace now.
For if its not, when I pass I want to come be with you, my baby where ever you may be.
I send my love with you forever and will never ever remove your memories from my mind.
I love you little girl.
I love you Mandy Lynn.

Denise & Ed Payne

WE MISS YOU MANDY SO VERY MUCH AND WE ARE HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME WITHOUT YOU.
IT WILL BE 8 MONTHS ON THE 7TH. OF DECEMBER THAT YOU ARE IN
HEAVEN. WE THINK OF YOU EVERY DAY AND WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE WITH US.
WE STILL HURT SO MUCH WHEN WE SPEAK OF LOSING YOU.
WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN IN HEAVEN BABY.
WE LOVE YOU.
MOM AND BOB

Manny-You will always be “mama’s puppy.”
We have a lot of memories of the short time we spent together.
We had good times and then trying times.
We were forgiving when you “ate the couch” but we put up with your naughty behavior because we were committed and love you.
Your eyes and ears were so keen that it was your job to protect us and we felt safe.
Our lives have changed because you are not here.
We will miss you everyday.

I am glad that we spent your last few days sleeping together-you actually had the run of the house!
I didn’t sleep well with worry and you sensed that.
I kept checking on you and you checking on me as I would wake up face-to-face with you staring at me.
We know that you are free now; running free; chasing squirrels, playing with other dogs and playing till you’re tried because that is what you loved most.
You are one of a kind friend that is why you are so special.
You had taught me a lot about myself, and I still think that you were too smart for us.
We will always remember you.
We didn’t say good-bye because we will see you again.

Melissa

Manny, I will always love you. I am so sorry that I didn't know you were sick until it was to late. I tried everything to save you but your little body just couldn't fight anymore. Everywhere I look I see and think of all the cute little things you did and I will never forget you. I know that someday we will meet again in Heaven, until then, stay by Bandit, Cookie and Che Che I know they will take care of you for me. Bye my baby, Mommy

Manon was the most wonderful little Tortie with so much love and so much to say--I know if I could have understood her loving language I would have been able to solve the mysteries of the ages.
She had a little Oscar the Grouch face and the heart of a loving Mother like Mary our Blessed Mother in the body of a little cat.
She will be missed and mourned.

Fran Masetti

Manouche was a 5 oz. girl kitty I found on Halloween's Eve.
She was full of burrs and so weak, she could not run around with her siblings.
I used to tell he how lucky she was that I had found her, given her
a soft old robe as a first bed, lots of food and love.
She would look away but her purrs told me she knew as she rested on my chest.
I will not close my door or my heart to any other needy animal but there will never be another Manouche.
We miss you belle Manouche.
Sleep tight and wait for us at Rainbow Bridge.
You are forever in our hearts.

Martine & Michael

My angel.
Like sun one time is shining, we always were together. When you lied in my knee, and i patted you. I wish that it would be forever we two. But you moved to rainbow bridge so early, there you lives now. And everytime i sleep, i know that you lies beside me. Because in my dreams, there is still we two. Someday we will meet eachother again, my angel. Then the sun will shine on our world forever.

Caroline Crona

Mao Ying was a very sweet grey and white ex-feral. She loved coming in the bed. She loved my other cats and used to groom them. She is missed by Jet Li her best friend, Dragon Lee and Bruce Lee.

"IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY, AND MEMORIES A LANE. I'D WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN AND BRING YOU HOME AGAIN"

In loving memory of Mara from Dolores.

Mara , you will be always in my heart until I hold you again in my arms....

Dolores Ayarragaray

You fought and fought and now you can rest, wake up and play with others. I'll see you again, till then play and play.

Sylvia Sollid

You were our buddy, our friend, the one always there for us. We miss you so.

Dennis & Donna

pssst pssst i see you
bye lil buddy

Jason

It has been a while since you left us, but we still miss you everyday.

Hope you have all the kibble and treats you want.

Love you lots, Knucklehead.

Denise and Jason

I love you so much, Marcus.
I already feel the emptiness in my heart and in our home.
I hope and pray you know how much we all loved you.
You were a wonderful companion and friend.
I hope you are in a beautiful place.
I LOVE YOU>

Michelle

The time had come,

My treasured friend,

When life could be no more.

It's glow receeded like the tide

On some far distant shore.

Then came the deep and

dreamless sleep,

The drift toward Heaven's ridge,

Where all await that happy day

We meet at Rainbow Bridge.

Marjory Horst

She filled our lives and our hearts to overflowing with love and devotion, she isn't really gone, she's always with us and we will be re-united. She blessed out lives and the lives of all who knew her, her 'smile' was known and she was called 'the sweetest dog on the mountain'.

Suzanne and Chuck Howell

Momma was our beauty queen - as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside.
She had 2 litters, C-Section, and never whimpered.
We have one of her babies to help us heal our grief.
Margot would lick your face off if you let her; she was so filled with love.
But today she couldn't even manage a lick -- it was time for her to find peace from the cancer.
Our last ride together was one of sorrow, but also hope -- hope that someday we will be together again.
Her tail will wag, she'll spin in circles, and she will, once again, give us her kisses.

Don & Jean Bomeisl

She was the light of my day. She was the first hello of the morning and the my last good night. I miss her so.

Nancy

We tried everything we could for you.
I hope you know that I needed to be sure before we said goodbye.
I know you stayed as long as you could.
I hope you did not know pain, as that was my greatest fear.
We loved you since the day we met.
You found your fover home with us.
We love you.

Kristy Graham

Mariah was the most loyal, friendliest, sweetest, gentle dog; she had the heart of a lion, and my sweet baby never did one aggressive or mean act in her life. From the second I saw her at 5 weeks old, I knew she was my dog, and I her person. She claimed her name within 5 minutes, the wind. Everyone keeps telling me what a happy, intelligent sweet girl she was. She was, and she was so much more than 'just' a dog. Something went wrong with her liver functions, and our hero, her Vet, Dr. Susan Gulzeth, went above and beyond to keep Mariah healthy and happy. Sadly, she rapidly deteriorated this week, finally waking Friday morning with a grand mal seziure, followed by 2 more, until I was able to carry my girl down the many steps and into the car. My brother met us, and on our last car ride together, she rallied for a moment, pressed her cheek against mine, looked at me nose to nose, gave me a kiss and sank in the seat. Dr. Sue and her amazing staff were just as grief stricken as I was when we put her down. I want to thank Dr. Gulzeth and her terrific staff for all they did for Mariah. And I thank Mariah for being my dog. I am honored to have been her person.My heart is broken, girl. I wished I could have spared you that morning of fear and suffering. I'm glad you died in peace and comfort, surrounded by love and affection. I miss you so much. So very, very much.

Diana Clasen

Mariah was the most lovable, giving, adorable Rottie I have ever known.
She became "mom" to our foundling kitty then to our foundling pup. We took her to the SPCA with us to get her a new companion - SHE picked a dog who was horribly shy and had been abused.
From that day until Mariah's passing she and Jazz were inseparable. She like to travel in our motor home and made several trips across the USA.
Her favorite stops were McDonald's - double burger with cheese please and a vanilla cone
:-) Our hearts are breaking at your passing but we know you are now happy & healthy once again and you will be waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.

Bill & Jo Moore

Mariah was a 7 pound, Havanese, black and white, 'mill-rescue' pup. We were blessed to add her to our family when she was eight years old. She spent her last six years with us, here in Ohio. We spoiled her rotten! She had 5 beds in just the kitchen and the living room, 2 of them heated because she was such a freeze baby! Her favorite place to dwell was the heated window perch in the kitchen, where she could watch the world go by. People would do a double take when they saw her because usually she sat so still they thought that she was a stuffed animal! If she moved, they jumped! And her bark!
Hilarious! Not a yippy little dog bark! Not my Mariah! A German Shepherd WOOF came out of this little 7 pounder! HILARIOUS! Again, people walking by would stop, stare, point and laugh! I loved it! When I was on the phone, no on could believe that it was Mariah barking, her bark was so deep and non-yippy...Oh how I'll miss her.
She loved to be held at night like a baby, tummy up, in my arms, cuddling for her tummy rubs. She shared my snacks of dry cereal and popcorn. She snuck off and dumped and shredded the tissues from the trash in each bedroom and bathroom whenever she could get away with it. Our little garbage dog. I could put a box of tissue down, the type that pull out one at a time, and she would, mind you no teeth, pull them out one at a time, one after another, endlessly. JOY AND RAPTURE for her!
The greatest toy on earth!

Run and Play Mariah until we meet again.
I love you and miss you painfully,
Mamma.

A loyal companion who is missed terribly.

Amber

In memory of Mariah Logan:
The sweetest, most loyal cat an owner could ever have.
She was abandoned at the Humane Society as a kitten but after she came into our lives, she was alone no more.
She spent every minute of her life making sure we knew how much she loved us.
She fought bravely against CRF for the last seven months until her body finally gave up.
We miss her so much but know she is in a better place without any pain.
She is probably hunting birds and exploring with her sister, Muffin, and brother, Stubby.

Keith & Cheryl Logan

You were my soulmate, my sweetheart.
I will love you forever and think of you every day for the rest of my life. No one will ever take your special place in my heart.

Laurie

My Dear Mara -- I will never have another dog like you -- a perfect friend -- in my life time.
I look to the skies now to feel you, and I know you're always walking beside me.
I hope, one day, my son is lucky enough to experience the loving bond between human and pet.

Thank you for a wonderful life, Mara!

Lopes Family

We love you and miss you so much...
God's speed my friend
Mom and Dad

Mario was my best friend's Italian Greyhound.
He was a wonderful little guy!!
I used to take care of him when she traveled.
He was a little love-bug!!
My fondest memories of him are when he would jump up on my lap and cuddle AND when he would overturn the garbage can in my bathroom whenever he visited!!
Of course we got wise and as soon as Mario would come in the house we would put the garbage can where he couldn't get to it!!
He will be missed so much!!
Mario - you were loved so much.
Have a blast in animal heaven with Hari, Jessie and Miss Pooh.
Much Love from your "baby-sitter" - Aunt Debbie and your "cousin" Phoebe.

My special friend. Still after all these years I find it hard to talk about that day.I know you are not in pain anymore,but how my heart still aches.

Paulene Brunelle

Mario was a shelter dog who I spent a lot of time with as a volunteer. The decision was made on Monday to let him go, but I miss him as if he were my own. May he be happy and healthy forever

Liz Wederell

Thank you for everything you gave to me, our runs and your wagging tail at the door when i came home. Our cuddles and all the love that you gave me.

I will always love and miss you my baby.

Carolin Synyshyn

Big beautiful Mario, named after the racecar driver because as a kitten he raced around my bed like doing laps, was killed by dogs just like his sister Nina, years ago.
She was all white and he, all black.
Now they are together chatting about how much they hate dogs; but deciding in the end to forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Rest in peace Mario and Nina~~

Mary Lou Russell

Marisa was a precious cat, much loved and still missed after all these years. We love you and are waiting to see you in heaven, Marisa. We know Xena is taking good care of you for us.

Val Pavlik

We miss you, our sweet girl, our little Miss

Heather and Brian Jim

Markey was a wonderful puppy who was loving in nature and would follow you around everywhere and right before his death he woke up from a nap and just had so much energy considering the fact that he had been sick for a week and on antibiotics I just thought he was completely better and we played for about half an hour and then he rolled over went to sleep and 20 minutes later I checked on him and he had passed away.
He was a wonderful dog.

Marcos Chapa

As my mom pulls up in her car to get me from my friend's house I expect to see him wiggling around in the backseat, so excited to see me; but he's not. When I wake up in the middle of the night I expect to have been pushed halfway off of the bed and to see him sprawled out right in the middle; but he's not. And when I walk up my hill after a long day at school I expect to see him at the window, anticipating my arrival; but he's not. I don't remember life without a dog, seeing we got Marky when I was only 4, and I will miss him everyday for the rest of my life. I didn't even get to say goodbye.

Elizabeth Nade

On the memory to my beloved cat Markiz, who was my friend and companion for 12 years. I miss you so much and can't forget what a wonderful pet you were.... Will always remember you,
Your mommy,
Yana

You were taken from us much too soon. We will always remember you and will never forget your sweet personality.

Carol Goodall

My sweet baby boy. Every year that passes I miss you more & more. The day we had to let you go a I sent a piece of my heart with you too. You are my angel dog. I know that you are watching us from heaven. You are still my constant companion & my guardian angel.
Spread your angel wings and big floppy beagle ears. Howl as loud as you can. I can hear you from Heaven!!!

Gina

I always feared that this day was going to happen and when he died, I felt like a bit of my soul and existence died with him. We are really going to miss our friend!!!!!!

Monika Nowak

TO MARLEY
WE SAW YOU GETTING WEAKER AND, ALTHOUGH WE KNEW WE WOULD MISS YOU SO MUCH, WE HAD TO LET YOU GO.
YOU WERE THE BEST DOG WE EVER HAD AND WE WILL NOT FORGET YOU.

Anonymous

Marley was one great dog.She loved her family and missed each of the three kids as they left home for college and jobs. But,then she was there for Mom and Dad and was their constant source of laughter and companionship. We will miss her funny antics, her catlike poses on the pillows and her will to live. She beat all the odds at surviving nasal cancer longer than doctors predicted. She wanted to see one more Christmas with everyone together. She made it and then it was time to go. She taght us somuc in her final weeks.

Laurie Haff

A kindred and old soul that will forever be strong within me.

Deb

Just want you to know how much you touched my life and the lives of others this last year. Although you maybe high in the sky, your soul is always in my heart!

Matt Jobson

Marmalade shared 16 wonderful years will us and will be missed by everyone he touched.

Bill

My precious little boy. You gave us 15 years of joy and you will live in our hearts forever.

Carol Lizarralde

You were a good Ma dog. I hope you are happy now resting in the sun and playing again with your friend Princess across the rainbow bridge. Even toward the end I hear you continued your black stealth dog duties in the mornings. May you find peace and lots of good bones to chew.

Stephen Harvey, Michelle Harvey, Scott Harvey

Marshall, you have been in our hearts ever since we had to make the painful decision to release you from your suffering. We look forward to seeing you and Kitty again in Heaven.

I know you were very happy to see your good buddy Kitty again who missed you so very much when you had to leave us. God Bless the two of you.

Our love always,

Cary and Linda Dachtyl

This afternoon you heard the call and you joined Marshall, Tina, and Hank at the Rainbow Bridge, where the cancer that killed you can't hurt you again. We'll be together soon
I'm heartbroken about this! Thanks for making my life complete.

S.T.Symmes

I love you Marshmallow. You will always be my little Guinea Pig. Me and Twinkle will always love you, and in a couple of years time, we will all meet up in Rainbow Bridge, and cross the bridge together. I tried to give you a good send off, and I decorated a your send off box with a yellow piece of paper. I love you, and I always will. I am going to bury you in the field, because I know you love Grass and Nature. Life is going to be so hard without you. I will never get over this. I hope you will make lots of friends where you are, and play lots of fun games. I will write to you as often as I can.
Love Jake and Twinkle

Jake Costello

Eighteen years was not enough to spend with you--furry little Zen master, lover of all.

My dearest Mar passed over the bridge this past week.
She left me 2 months to the day after her sister Muffin went over the bridge.
Martina was full of life and a bit of mischief.
She had a twinkle in her eyes and a smile when she panted her happy pant.
Mar was such a little thing.
On our last walk, she could barely stand.
And so I carried her on our morning route.
She looked around and seemed to enjoy the sights and sounds of spring.
The house is empty and my heart is sore.
I will meet you in time at the bridge.
Until then, play and tumble with Muffy and Kodi and Tash.

Love you dear one.
Mom/Janet

Marty loved everybody.she was a very loving girl.No matter who you are she was your best friend.I miss her so much!!Marty I know you loved so much.I hope to see you again someday.

Fred

Marty,

You've been a true and best friend for eight years.
You endured my stresses in life and work.
I will always be grateful to you for joining me when I decided to live my dream.
It was so very hard on you to move 1,000 miles but once we got settled, you loved life in Maine!
I will miss you in so many ways.

I'm hoping that you've found the Rainbow Bridge and that you will meet there someday.
Until then, enjoy playing and running in the meadow -- it's what you've always loved.

Please know that I love you with all my heart and I will miss you terribly.

Love,

The Momma

Marty~

We miss you so much and hope that you're running around and "bulleting" just like you used to do!! Your home is sad and lonely without your spirited presence. I look at our special places and wish that you were here to share them once again. I don't think that I've ever known real grief before now.....I miss you!

Do you know that you got flowers from Anne, Ed and Gail? Everybody is the neighborhood misses you!

Take care and always know that we love you and wish that we could have "snuggles" right now!!

Daddy & Mommy

Dear Marty...you will be missed our good friend.
You left us so tragically but we know you are in a better place now and we know we'll meet again soon.

We love you and we miss you.

Chantell & Eric

I loved you so much.
You were what I went to work for, you were the one that loved me unconditionally.
I miss you so incredibly much.
I know you're not hurting anymore but its still hard to be without you.
You will always be with me in my heart.

I love you!
Mommy

Marvin you were the best dog ever, so full of joy and always looking to please. You followed me everywhere for thirteen wonderful years. We had a special bond. You only knew love and brought smiles to anyone who met you. It feels empty without you. You were so courageous in the end never complaining and always trying
your best. Even when you lost your appetite you still tried to eat to please me. Your cancer came on quick and was hard for me to watch, but you taught me so much... to keep smiling, to be brave, have a positive outlook and help others. The will you showed was amazing. I shall never forget how you wanted to go on a walk on that last day as we were ready to go the the vet. Even though you had to hop. So we just went to the hpouse next door but that made you smile.You loved your walks so much.

We had great times and i have great memories now. I'll love you always. One day we'll walk together again.

Fritz Vladich

To my dear, sweet, courageous Marvin who lost his battles with lymphoma and chronic renal failure on 6/29/07.
I will miss your big heart and all of your love always and forever.

Marybeth

My dear Marvin.
You will be loved then, now and always.
We all miss you!
Everytime I look into the sky, I know that you and I will always be one.
I love you and I will never stop loving you.
Best friends always!!!!!

The Handelsman's

When Marvin left us, he had squeezed every second out of life.
He was our beautiful, rugged elder statesman. Marvin was a
velvet brown german shorthaired pointer who loved to go on his own private walkabouts, especially on garbage night. He was a roof climber, a countertop cruiser, a friend of cats, a bed pig, a mentor, a gentle spirit, an amazing actor, a gifted conversationalist, in short, a wonderdog. He cheated death for 3 years. He broke my heart on September 6. His heart, which was always pure and true, beats strong and sure again. His eyes are clear; his legs are strong. His greatest joy is once again splashing through Shetland Creek and running through our golden fields, chasing bunnies who won't be caught.
Marvin, it was an honor. Thank you for everything.
Julie

My baby Mary - Thank you for 16 wonderful years.
You were my best friend.
I will always love you and miss you forever.
Have fun in doggie heaven with your Dad, Joey.
He is waiting for you........Love Always Mom, Dad, Cosmo, Michael and Melissa

Oh Mary, your life was so troubled. I hope the two years that we were able to give you were peace filled and gentle. Today when you lay down and could not rise again I hope you knew that I was with you and that I loved you. Your passing was gentle and filled with love and prayers.
May you have a blessed time at the bridge with all the precious babies that have passed before especially Paddy and Jono.
I love you my friend and til we meet again

Shannon Sparrow

Verona, Stu, Ashleigh and Jaden

Our mase' mr velvet head, we still think about you every day and miss you so much. You were our first 'baby'. You were such a wonderful member of our family and a faithful guardian and friend to our human babies. You were such fun to have around and liked your cuddles! We love you. xxx

Debbie, Wayne, Reece and Jake

Mason came into rescue with a lot of issues, both physical and medical.
Formerly unloved and neglected, we saw to his medical needs (he had to have an eye removed from untreated glaucoma)and worked hard on his emotional issues, showering him with love and kindness.
You will be greatly missed Mason.
You have left your pawprints on the hearts of all whose lives you have touched.
Godspeed to the Bridge dear boy.
You no longer have to live in fear.

Ashley

Mason was handsome and kind, my sunshine on a cloudy day, a representation of all that is good in the world, he was my heart. I told him every day how much I loved him and I was sure to show it too.
He gave me more than I could ever have given him.
He taught my children about unconditional love and friendship. I will hold him dear forever and fondly remember how it felt to nuzzle his sweet head.
I hope he is in heaven loving us as we have and always will love him. Cathie

Mason, I loved you so much.
You were my best friend and confidant, my first "grandchild."
I believe you are in Heaven with Jesus and I will see you and hold you again someday and you will not be coughing. Have fun until I get there!

Brenda E. Cook

Mason- We think about everyday and miss you even more, things are different now in the house without you, but you will forever live in our hearts and memory.
I love you baby, daddy misses his lil Buddy.
Fly free now Baby- you no longer have tohurt.

Jennifer and James

Thank you, Massa, for giving my daughter a lifelong friend and a playmate to grow up with.
Find my beloved Sascha at Rainbow bridge who died just 5 years ago and chew on a chewey together until we all meet again.
You were a good boy. Love, Mom

I used to call you Mouse because you were black and white and when you were first born, you reminded everyone of Mickey Mouse.
I loved you until you were 9 and I still love you even now that you are gone. You were such a good boy and I miss you so much.
I think of you every day.
I will some day see you at the Rainbow Bridge and we will go to Heaven together.

Patricia

I love you Mat, and havent got over your departure. you were with me for 14 years, cheery naughty, demanding but magically healing. You taught me many spiritual things. Please Mat, dont abandon me,I need you by my side.

Malini Parthasarathy

Matilda came into my life and was placed with a senior that didn't work out.
I promised her she would stay with me the rest of her life.
I just didn't know when I said that, it would be so short.

Elise Penner - Sheltie Rescue

Matisse

Dirty paw prints on the kitchen floor
An unused collar in my drawer
Let me know that you were here
Draw my eyes to bring a tear

You’re shining face, your happy prance
Or how a treat could make you dance
Your puppy licks upon my face
Could clear my gloom without a trace

Always willing to share your day
Or help me find a new game to play
The smiling black eyes and curly white coat
A life to short, ended with one stroke

Under your favorite tree is where you lie
The love you left has us has made us cry
I can’t believe that you are gone
No more walks or barking songs

You can wash away the prints on the kitchen floor
Or put away bed and toys, just close the door
Have a stiff upper lip, do your part
But I can never remove your puppy prints from my heart

Phil Dudra

Our puppy-wuppy, wiggy-wag brought joy to many and died too soon.
We love you.

Lisa & Paula

The most beautiful and loving dog in the whole wide world.

I will never forget or get over the loss of him.

I only wish I could have done something more to save him.

Karen Drennan

Mattea sweetheart you are missed.
We love you. You were a light in our lives.
You were the funniest dog. So animated and vocal. You were such a smart dog, sometimes to smart for your own good. You were a great protecter and you took all of your jobs very seriously. You did a wonderful job looking out for Grandma & Grandpa.
You let us know whenever anything was wrong.
You loved us unconditionally and we felt it, Tater-Butt we still feel that love. RIP MATTEA

Beth Schebler & Benay Cain

Matthew velvet ears I will miss you the rest of my life.

We will miss you old girl! Now you are at peace and reunited with Sandy.
One day we will be together again!

Marie, Sam & Samantha Walters

Mattie, you have been a wonderful friend and companion to me through some of the hardest and challenging years of my life. Thank you for being there for me, and loving me unconditionally. Your big brown eyes followed me, asking me to adopt you in October of 2001, and I have loved you since that day..when I made eye contact with you. Thank you for greeting me with a real smile and a sneeze for the past six years. You are the apple of my eye; my forever love...and I miss you with all my heart, but I had to let you go so you would not suffer any more than you did. Forgive my selfishness the last few weeks; I just could not let you go from me.
Please know that I will always love you, my baby Mattie; my sweet fur baby...Your mom..Melody

Mattie, my precious little girl dog. Your passing has left a huge hole in my heart and soul. I hope you are with your babies and Lucy and Casey.I hope with all my heart to see you someday.You were a wonderful friend and I hope you know how much I loved you.

Virginia M

My dearest Mattie.
You left my home but not my heart 11 years to the month.
You will now be able to play with Bear again.
I will miss you terribly.
I love you my princess, with the little white eyelashes blinking at me as you said "mama".
You are the only dog that I have known that was such a good judge of character in men too.
You helped me many times.
I will miss you dearly. Goodbye sweet Mattie.

Jennifer Patterson

My precious little Mattie Lou
Our days together seemed so few

Reflections of the days gone past
Thoughts of you that will always last

You will always remain a special part of my life
So many days filled with happiness, without daily strife

But now you have been called for the journey home
My heart is broken and I feel so alone

I hold to the thought that you are at the pearly gate
Standing with Mom you patiently wait

Until the time we reunite
Dreams of you get me through the nights

Memories that fill my heart with joy
Your funny little growls, how you played with your toys

Pretty little bows up in your hair
That loving look that told me you cared

Oh how I miss you Mattie Lou
Our days together seemed so few

SjM Feb. 2007

Gary, Bev & Brandon

Mattie Dog,

You gave us 13 wonderful years!
These past few days have been so hard, Zach & Lily don't understand that you are now in heaven on guard duty, :).... It's NEVER going to be the same coming home knowing you are not going to be there.

Mom & Dad are struggling to make it through!
You are deeply missed, we love you sooooo very much.

Rest in peace my baby,

Love you- Dad, Mom, Melanie, Zach & Lily

Mattie, My little angel from heaven. You blessed our lives every day you were with us. I miss you so much. You are in my heart forever my little girl.

My Mattie Girl.

From Florida to the Bahamas, you were a great sailing cat.
I will never forget you and your baths you gave me.
To the end you were a fighter.
Good bye my Mattie Girl.

Capt. Jeff

She was my first born baby. I miss here tremedously.

Denise Arnold

My sweet little Matty.
I miss you so much and can't stop crying.
Where are you?
Matty was my first pet after being out on my own and has been through so much with me. Not having children, he was like my child along with his other cat brothers and sister.
Matty was so sweet and always greeted everyone at the front door.
The only thing he ever wanted was to go outside, and being an indoor cat was only able to on supervised occasions(we have coyotes).
Your free now Matty to go wherever you want.

Kim Brooks

a fantastic family dog for 15 years will be greatly missed

Kerry & Family

After 11 years and 2 months, our little Maud has finally decided it is time to say goodbye.

It all started when i begged our father-in-law, to drive us the 20ish miles, to our local SSPCA. As soon as i saw her, i know she was the one. She had been dumped in Perth, and was thin and very frightened. But that soon changed, when she gt home with us.

She had the house to herself for 2 years, until we got Maisy. Then got on like sisters.

Then 4 and abit years later, our little boy, Jake, was born. For the first 6 months of his life, she never left his side.

Jakes nearly 5 now, and they were the best of friends.Her on his bed every night, him dressing her up as his favourute CBebbies programme - Number Jacks.

Then yestarday Mauds breathing changed suddenly, and we took her to the vets. She had a huge growth, which was only detected on X-ray.

So today we buried Maud under a Cherry tree. She's wrapped in my old, but her favourite jumper, and i wrote her a letter. Jake draw her some pictures of us all, and made a Lego model. She's also got some cat munchies to keep her going.

We all miss her so much already, although she's only been gone 28 hours......

sleep tight sweetheart, and i'll see you at that big sofa in the sky xxxx

Steph Gauld

Little Maudles, we will always remember you as you were our first pet.
Although our house is a little emptier with your passing our hearts are warmed by your memory.
From car trips, playing peek-a-boo and chase, coming home to find you'd been hiding in the fireplace, to sharing the pillow with you at night - you were one incredible cat!
We tried everything we could to ease your suffering and treat your illness but now find comfort knowing you are in peace.

Morgan and Adam U.

Everytime the doorbell rings I see your dancing antics!
Greeting every guest with a toothy smile, a wagging tail and an open heart.
You knew no strangers, you taught me so much. There is not a day that goes by that something doesn't bring you to mind.
You are my heart dog and I carry you with me always.
Love Dad

Chris Medsger

Maude was my first guinea pig.
I loved her dearly and always took excellent care of her, feeding her the best dandelion leaves, parsley, hay and pellets.
Maude developed an abcess behind one ear, and despite our efforts to make her well again, ultimately succumbed to the infection.
Her passing was peaceful and without pain.
My husband and I and our other pig, Bessie, miss her very much.

Heather McAlpine, Alex Wetmore

I want to post a tribute to my sweethart, my best buddy, my lovey, Maui, a russian blue cat.
I was asked by a friend if I wanted a stray that she found, and I said no, as I had been raised with dogs and knew nothing about cats.
Well, she brought her to me anyway and I fell in love with her.
Maui was a very intelligent cat that had a talent for conversation.
She would question, scold and call you with different tones and she was just such a joy in my life.
Everyone loved her, she was so sweet and beautiful.
Even people who said they didn't like cats, loved my Maui.
Maui would meet you once, not see you for months and remember you when you came to visit.
Sometimes I think she thought she was a dog, she'd come running to you, and other times I think she thought she was human, lol
She was the most special friend I ever had and even though I am so heartbroken that she has passed, I am comforted because I know she is in heaven, no longer in pain, and I will see her again someday.
It's been a few months, and I still cry often.
I think I hear her sometimes, and I like to think that she is dropping in just to check on me.
I will never forget her and I know that she knows just how very much I loved and still love her.
Maui will always be my special baby.

God Bless my baby, Maui

Lisa Bartolozzi - Bouley

Your life was cut way too short, but your love and happiness will live on with us until we see you again in the arms of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
We love and miss you terribly.
Minnie and Opie Miss you too.
Our little baby will never know how sweet your hugs and kisses were, but we'll make sure we give him/her plenty of love on your behalf.

Mark and Silvia Freeberg

Maura,
I knew the day would come when you'd no longer be with me but I just didn't think it'd be this hard. I cry for you every night and hope I did the right thing. It's so weird that you're gone. I feel like a part of me died with you. The boys miss you so. Jimmy wants Santa to bring you back.
I wish he could.
I'm just heartbroken.

Ellen A. Howley

Beloved, most adored and adoring, beautiful, irreparable, irreplaceable, piece of my life and my soul, dearest friend, companion, family member, sweetest little guy in the universe,you are so intensely missed, so painfully grieved for, you changed our lives forever and nothing will ever be the same. We will love you beyond this untimely death, this awful thief who took you in the night, you are parte of our dna,our collective memory, our blood, our bones. Our hearts are still wrinkled into paper balls by your loss, but your memory helps it uncrinkle a little everyday.

GOOD BYE DEAR PRINCE

Veronica Garcia

My precious Maury had to be put to sleep today because he had contracted FIP, even though he had been vaccinated. He is and always will be so dearly, dearly loved as one of my precious children.
Many people would not understand, but my cats are my family. My heart is breaking. Maury, I love you, my precious angel.

Ellen Hawkins

My Dear Maurice, You were a very special cat and a very special cat friend. You provided 18 years of unconditional love and I truly love you and will miss you terribly. You were like my own child, my cat-child. Thank you for being such a great companion. I will love you always.
I hope to be re-united with you, in some other place and time....you , Ulysses and Jasmine and myself, all together for eternity. I love you Maurice, your human Mom, Liz

Sandy Dalessio

Maverick was a rescue dog who stole our hearts from day 1. He was the most beautiful, loyal and loving dog we have ever owned. He died of cancer. We will miss him everyday!

Chris, Judy, Meghan and Colin

We will miss you, Our Booba. You acted like a puppy til the end. We will miss your soft ears, the crackles your nose made, and the wrinkle on your butt. Your hold a special place in our hearts.

Gretchen & Joe Romano

Maverick, We loved you very much and will miss you.
We are so glad that you were ours. Much Love to you our Dear and Devoted friend.
Love, Daddy and Mommy

Maverick was my beautiful boxer who recently I had to make a very difficult decision and have him put to sleep.
He was very gentle, loving and full of life.
He loved to play and just be outside where we were.
Maverick was by my side all time especially during thunderstorm and ligthning storms.
He slept with me until he got sick and could no longer wanted to be the bed with me he would sleep on his bed in our room or beside the bed.
Maverick was diagnosed with hip dyplasia very early in his life before he was 1 year old.
He did not let it stop him from doing whatever he wanted to do especially chasing the squirrels and trying to jump in the trees to get them.
He had a wonderful temperment and a spirit.
He will be gone exactly 2 weeks on Monday, September 10.
Maverick was a great dog, companion, loyal best friend and confident.
He listened to every I said and understood a lot of what I said to him.
I know a lot of people don't believe they comprehend what you to say to them but Maverick knew a lot of what I said to him and understood me.
I will never forget him, I will always love him, miss him and he holds a very special place in my heart.
No other dog will ever be as special to me as he was and I hope he knew that.
I feel quility about that sometimes because I brought another dog in the house two years ago a Boston Terrier named Buddy.
Maverick seemed to be happy at first and they played together until he got sick.
He was having seizures and taking medicine for it but he was never himself again after he had them.
Maverick also had Addison and Cummings disease.
He got to the point to where it was very difficult for him to get around.
Mav could still walk on his own but he kept falling all time especially down my front steps on the porch.
I just decided I could not let him go on like that.
Mav had no quality of life because he could no longer do the things he loved to do.
It was like his spirit was all ready dead.
Maverick had a great spirit right till the end.
He fought till the end and I was with him through the whole and I told him I loved him and always would.
He would always be my special angel.
It hurts but he is in a better place now and free of pain.
I love you my beautiful baby.
Be happy baby and forgive me for what I did but I did it for you so that you would not have to suffer anymore.
I love you.

Pam Kijowski

The best dog in the world. Everybody loved Maverick. You could do anything to this guy and he would go with the flow, toddlers crawling on him sticking their fingers in his food he never snapped at anyone. Loyal friend ,handsome guy, spoiled rotten, you will be missed forever. Thanks for many happy years we love you! Mom,Dad,Desi,Der,and midge

Dear Maverick,
You were such a beautiful and wonderful dog.
We all loved you very much, especially your daddy.
You were his first dog.
I will never forget the day we bought you.
We really didn't have the money to spend at the time, but you were so sweet and loveable, that you won our hearts forever, so we took you home!
Never would we have thought that we would lose you so soon and so carelessly.
I am so sorry that you escaped out of the fence.
I should have known better and I will never forgive myself.
I am so sorry that you were hit by that jeep.
I am so angry that they did not stop to help you.
I am thankful, however, that the neighbor stayed with you until you passed so that you were not alone.
I only wish that I could have been there to hold you so that you would have not been alone and scared and so I could have told you how very stupid and sorry I was.
I long for the day that we will meet again.
Your wife, Princess is beautiful.
And your son, Maverick, Jr., who we kept and named in your Memory, is growing to be just as strong and beautiful as you were.
We had you creamated and your urn sits at the front door on a pillar on the wall surronded by candles and your picture, so that you are with us every day as we leave and you are there every day as we come home.
I miss your howls and I miss seeing you play on the trampoline.
You will be in our hearts forever--love--Mommy, Daddy, and Savanna

Maverick,
You were my best friend, my soulmate, my child, and my faithful dog.
I miss you more than any words can express, but I know you are with me.
You taught me more than I think I taught you through your years.
I will always love you and you will always be with me, I promise.
I am so sorry that the vets and I were unable to save you during your last cancer, you know if I could have I would have given the world to keep you with me longer.
I am grateful that we had that last weekend together, those moments will always be cherished.
You were amazing, even thoguh could see the pain in your eyes yous still seemed to only be concerned with how I was doing.
Everyone at the vet office misses you as well.
I hope you are doing well and I look forward to seeing you again.
Until then I will continue to speak to you through dreams, smiles and tears.
Be good boy, as you always were, and know that one day we will be able to go on another walk together in the sunset.

Sandra Virginia Thornton

Maverick was my companion for nine years.
I will miss him very much.
I know he is in a better place now where he can run and play with all the other dogs.
God speed my friend Maverick.

Bob Quinn

My beloved little "Chopper"!
You will be missed and you were loved more than you will ever know.
I miss your kisses already and only hope that you are comfortable where you are now.
Mama loves you more than life and you are my very best boy!!!

Jami Nielsen

Mavy Baby we loved you so much though you were only with us a short while. How we miss your incessant need to herd everything and anyone. Your obsession with licking people's feet and a sever OCD with chasing the annual swallows as they flew overhead.Shilo is lost without you but Hughy is helping her through. The pain of having you taken from us will always be there but there is comfort in knowing we will meet again at the Bridge one day.

Love Mom

My beloved Mavric. You left me way too soon. No longer can I kiss your wet nose, no longer can you return my kiss. I still see you there beside me, but I can't run my fingers thru your beautiful coat. You will truly always be my little man, the love of my life. Run free Mavric with no more fear. Don't forget me. One day we shall be again.

Maria Petruchak

You gave me 11 wonderful years. I miss you so very much. Maw i love you so much.
Janet.

You were my very special gift, a joy from the moment I saw you as a tiny pup until our last day together.
Gentle, loyal, you always placed others ahead of yourself.
A dearer, truer friend we, including your brother and sisters, could not have had. You are missed more than words can possibly express.
Always and forever we will love you Max.

Irene, Mama and Sandy

There is a large farm in NC at which there are many dogs, cats, and horses who are all a part of the family(related and non-related) who work there. Max stole my heart the first day I stepped foot on the farm, he was old and had a limp. He wouldn't let me pet him for the first week, but in no time he was the first dog to meet me as I pulled up in the driveway, his whole body waving back and forth because he was shaking his short little tail so hard. He followed me everywhere, often ignoring feeding time just to be by my side.
Last night Max was hit by a family car and instantly he was gone. He was a blessing in my life, making me smile 100s of times every day and he will be truely missed.

Stephanie Smith

My buddy. You made me smile through everything. It was you and I for 15 1/2 years. You and I took care of each other. Words can't express how much I miss you. You be good, I'll be back.

Scott Vogel

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BABY MAX!

Barb Olson

Max we loved you so much and miss you terribly!
We are so devastated that you had to go so soon.
You were only 6 and robbed of a long life.
What an awesome dog you were.
Everyone in the neighborhood loved you, from the pizza delivery guys to Elsa the mail lady.
Thank you for being so great when we brought the babies home.
You always went with the flow and I loved that about you.
I hope and pray that you are running around in heaven and that the cancer is gone (and your bad hips) We love you Max and will never forget you buddy!

Erin Corliss

After your surgery I knew that you were given some extra time with me.
The past year and a half were so special to me.
I miss you so much still.
You were so sweet and gentle.
Your voice like a song.
I will always love you!
Momma

Max was a one-of-a-kind dog who was rescued from a life of cruelty and neglect.
He was a common sight walking near Delevan Street in Lambertville NJ, a large black, tan and white dog who had a goofy grin and a slightly wobbly walk.
Max was born in Trenton and ended up running loose in a park there.
He was scooped up by someone who needed a watch dog, and Max ended up living alone in a boarded-up house in Trenton, guarding the house.
His owner came once a week to rip open a bag of food for Max.
Fortunately for Max, a guardian angel came in the form of the mail carrier, Betty Anne, who kept an eye on Max and slipped him biscuits through the mail slot every day.
He lived alone in this house for three years until one day Betty Anne didn't find Max at the front door.
It appears that he was thrown or kicked down the basement stairs, and he had sustained neck and back injuries which left him paralyzed in his back legs.

Through the intervention of a number of people, Max ended up in the care of Titusville-based rescue group Animal Allies.
Foster parents Judy Crawford and then Anne Trinkle lovingly cared for Max and purchased a “Doggon' Wheels” cart so he could learn to get around using just his front legs.
Experts said that Max would not walk again, but this courageous dog did end up gradually regaining the use of his back legs thanks to the acupuncture he received from Dr. Louise Morin at VCA Delaware Valley Animal Hospital.
I was looking for a dog to adopt and fell in love with Max when I met him at Anne's house in February 2002.

Veterinary care for Max cost thousands of dollars, and inspired the founding of rescue group Animal Alliance (www.animalalliancenj.org) in October 2002 in order to pay for Max's care and those of other special needs animals like him.
Max lived with me for 5 ½ years.
Everyone who met him commented on what a happy dog he was.
He would go up to each person he passed on his walks to sit on their feet and
try to get them to pet him.
He was especially good with the special needs preschoolers in my classes.
As Max aged, he developed arthritis and his old neck injuries became very painful.
On November 13, 2007 his neck pain became unbearable and he had to be put to sleep.

There is a hole in out hearts that feels unhealable..We had to let our boy go yesterday at 10:45 am after a sudden illness.
He looked into our eyes Saturday to say no more, I know you love me but the time has come for me to pass and I need you to do this last thing for me. He came to us at 4 weeks old and gave us nothing but love and joy. Our house seems so empty, we see him in every doorway, feel his cold nose on our faces, hear his excited bark and paws on the floor. We are better people for having him in our lives. He won over everyone who met him, he was special and will be missed and loved and honored always..

Bobbi & Kerrie & Jeff

To our beautifull little red puppy, Max.
We were so lucky to find you.
You are and will always be the 'perfect' baby pupppy.
We will love you forever.
Mom and Dad

What a special boy you were Max. We love & miss you so, even though we know you are waiting for us at the Bridge, where we will be united again, for all eternity. Be happy little man, we will love you forever. xoxox Momma & Daddy

We love and miss you.

Tina

We only had you in our lives for a very short time, but you were Loved very Dearly! You were a Blessing. We miss you so very much.

Bonnie & John Fries

Max, my sweet British "gentledog" - I will never forget you. I hope you can see again and that you are happy and, as I, looking forward to the day we meet again - I'll be looking for you at the bridge. I love you Max and miss you immensely.

Max was blind of both eyes and his death remains a mistery; not knowing what really happened to him makes it even more painful.

Palma Seljan

To Max, my beloved Schnauzer. You were the light of my life and my best friend from the first day I brought you home. I will love you forever and you will never be gone from my heart for as long as I live!

Joanne Gaumer

We love you Maxers! You will forever be in our hearts and thoughts.

Kelly and Phill

You deserved much better than you ever got Max. You were not my dog, just my neighbor, and I will miss you more than you ever will know.
You were such a good dog despite the fact your guardians never appreciated you.
Thank you for having been my friend Max. I just wish your story would have had the happy ending you so deserved.
I would have done anything to protect you had I been given the chance.
Rest in peace sweet boy.

Tootie

To our beloved Max....words can't describe how much we miss you.
We are sorry we didn't know you were so sick.
You sudden leaving has left a hole in our hearts. We will be looking for you when we cross over.
YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD BOY!

Doris & Larry

To Max, my beautiful Saint Bernard...in my heart your candle will always burn and the love in those big brown eyes will be with me forever.

Esther Nobe

Darling Maxi, the best dog that ever lived. We love and miss you and hope you'll be waiting for us when its time to meet again. Love you baby.

Sarah Allan

Max was a stray cat who found his way into my home and into my heart in August 2000.
At the time he arrived I didn't realize what a blessing he was.
At first I tried to find out if he was a lost cat, I put an add in the newspaper and contacted all of the vets in the area, I had a small dog and I really didn't want a cat.
The SPCA wasn't accepting any cats at the time so I continued to feed him and let him stay in my garage.
I had him neutered and let him into my home.
I couldn't believe what a friendly and lovable cat he was, he was my "beautiful baby boy".
He brought me so much joy and happiness - even though he scratched and ruined my couch and loveseat, scratched the carpet and then scratched my new leather couch and loveseat after only a month - but you know what I'd let him ruin them all over again if I could only have him back.
He was an adult cat when he came to me and I just couldn't have him declawed because he also went outside and I didn't want him to get hurt.
Max chose me and I believe that he came to me for a reason.
He was just the sweetest little boy that anyone could ever imagine and I miss him dearly, I love him so much and he will always be in my heart and he will always be my beautiful baby boy.

Debbie Robillard

Max was a large golden retriever. He was a 102 pounds, barrel chested and his feet turned out but he was beautiful to us. He loved water retrieving and he was such a strong swimmer that his shoulders and head would not get wet. He would run to get his stuffed frog or wooly ball whenever someone came to the house so he could greet them with the toy in his mouth. He was easy going, gentle and loveable. All the qualities us humans should strive to be. You will live in our hearts forever, Big Max. We miss you.

Barb and Dave O'Hara

Best darn cat ever

Suzanne Merritt

You were our love

Brandi & Wesley

You were our angel

Jim & Patty

MAX WAS A VERY KIND AND LOVING DOG,WITH HAPPY EYES AND ALWAYS CONTENT JUST TO BE BY YOUR SIDE. HE WILL BE MISSED SO MUCH.

Julie Kessler

I love you, Max, and will always miss you.
I hope to see you again someday.
Meantime, be a good kitty over there.
Love, Rob

Max,

Our kind-hearted tail-less cat... You found us during a snowstorm on Valentine's Day one year, and you worked your way instantly into our hearts and became part of us.

Your battle against cancer was brief, and we wish we could have been beside you at the end.

We will keep you in our hearts always. We know DiDi met you at the Rainbow Bridge, and we shall see you there someday.

Doug and Rob

My darling Max who died while he was under the care of a kennel owner while we were away.
I do not understand why this has happened but can only let you know how much I loved you and how deeply I miss you.
I will never get over losing you.
You were the best dog anyone could ask for and I ask that you forgive me for not being there when you needed me.
I am so sorry.
I loved you with all my heart.
May you rest in peace and we will always think of you.

Jo Harris

Baby,
I will always love you! You were so wonderful to me! I miss you already so much!
Love

I love you, Max.

Karen

With great sadness, we will miss your bright eyes and loving personality. We have many special memories of you that we shall cherish forever. With all our love Mommy, Daddy, Karri and Joey

Max was just like the perfect dog, he got off to a rough start being beat for the first 4 months of his life, but he had a never ending zest for life and a great love for all.

Dawn Martinez

My dear little Max.. What an intelligent, loving little siamese cat! You were so full of personality and life!

You were ten when you died. I got you as a tiny little three month old kitten. Those wonderful years with you went by way too fast.

I miss everything about you: The way you snored, the way you'd chase after a piece of string, how you used to lay on the kitchen counter as I would pet you and sing to you.. and how you slept with me, your warm, furry body on my pillow as I held you.

You kept me from being all alone. You were there for me through some really difficult times, as well as some very happy times.

I feel guilty because I wish I'd known you were sick sooner, and had known more about what to do. You might still be with me if I had...

I miss you everyday, as I will until I see you again.

Please be there waiting for me in the afterlife. I love you and miss you more than words can say.

Jerry Dimmerman

Never a moments problem, never a moments anger with him. A truly Good Boy

Kathleen McMullen

Max, I wish I had know about this tribute page because I would have left a message for you a long time ago.
Max, you know how much you were and are loved. You gave us so many happy moments and so many laughs.
You couldn't know how it tore out your family's heart when we lost you. You were loved by everyone and I hope you were watching as all the kids in the neighborhood put lovely tributes and flowers to you on our garage door the day after we lost you.
They all loved you too and they knew how heart broken your whole family was when we lost you.
Remember the time that you got into trouble with me and you were so afraid I might spank you that you ran into the lake?
You hated water so much but you were more afraid of Mommy being upset with you that even though you hated water you jumped into that lake and actually swam all the way out to our boat where your Daddy was taking Kim and Chad out for a water ski run.
Without a doubt that gave all of us one of the biggest laughs we've ever had.
We love you Max and we hope you are waiting with all your brothers and sisters for us to meet you again.
We loved you Max and always will.
We'll be there to be with you soon.
Love, Mom and Family

Max we really miss you

Andrew and Kelly Childress

What a man you were, Max.
See you on the other side!

Jennifer McLeod

The best, most intelligent dog I've ever had. And the most stubborn. Passed away quietly in his sleep, after a short illness. Sadly missed

Richard Craven

Max, we all miss you, including Baby, Curio, and Keno.
You were a great and beautiful kitty that starred in our family as the animal leader.
We are so sad to lose you, but enjoyed having you for nearly 13 years.
Dad & Jantzen would like to go coyote-hunting right about now...
We pray God has a special place for you and that we might meet again.
We know He created you and that you belong first to God.
We were lucky to be entrusted with your care all these years.
Rest well, sweet Max.
You will always be treasured in our hearts.
Love, Jeromie, Sara, Jantzen & Halo

My dog Max was a beautiful boy. He was the sweetest, most noble dog a person could have. He was my buddy. He was good and kind. He was a gentle giant. He was king of the house and he knew it. When he barked, he meant business. Give me a cookie, let me out, I want to go for a walk! He liked ear rubs and scratches and massages. He liked to retrieve towels and pillows. He frequently ate socks, shoes, and liked to swallow tissue paper and coins. My favorite memories are taking him for long walks in the trails behind my house, and snuggling with him in my bed during mornings.

He died so suddenly, we had no time to prepare. We grieve endlessly and we will miss him forever. I pray his spirit is peaceful and the angels are looking over him. I hope he will come back to me and my family in some way. I look forward to seeing him again. We love you Maxie Boy!!!!!

Kristin

My best friend, I will never ever stop loving you......

Laurie Sheffield

To my Baby Boy-
You don't know how much we loved you and how much we miss you.
Have fun playing in Heaven with Nikko, Nicky, and Sarah.
You will forever be in our thoughts.

Stephanie Scanlon

We lost our boy Max on May 28, 2007 after 13 great years.
Max (a Malamute) was a stray that we found wandering in the neighborhood all those years ago.
We also had just taken home a 8-week old Cocker puppy, and they became soulmates - when Max first met the puppy he would bite his dog biscuits in half and give half to the puppy.

Over the years we had many great adventures together, and up until the past few weeks he was always in great spirits.
But time and old age finally overtook him, and this weekend we made the impossibly tough decision to let him go.

Max will always be my puppy and we will all miss hm terribly.

Steve Belhauer

Max was found as a lost abandoned dog but left us as a much loved adopted family member that we will never forget.

Mollie & Steve Holton

Max, You lived 13 wonderful years and filled our hearts with so much love and joy. Daddy had to take you to be put down this morning as you were in too much pain and you don't deserve to have to suffer like that. I miss you already. You followed me around everywhere and I'll miss having you by my side.

I still can't believe you're gone...what am I going to do without you? I'll never forget how you would try to carry 3 or 4 toys in your mouth at once or how you'd hide your bones all over the house.

I just want to hold you one more time and look into those thoughtful sweet eyes. I knew letting you go would be difficult but it's harder than I had anticipated. I love and miss you so much, Max. You'll always be my first baby. Rest in Peace and know that we will be together again. In the meantime, I will fondly remember you and all the wonderful memories we've shared. I LOVE YOU!!

Diane

Max, you are the most wonderful companion that I coud ever have. I miss you so much every single day.

Sondra Wade

We'll miss you both terribly. Thank you for enriching our lives for so long.

All our love until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge

xxxxx

Helen and Ian Kershaw

Max will always be missed. I think of Max every day every where. He was a special cat in every way.
I know Max sent me the gift of a new Siamese (Simon) almost immediately, what a wonderful mircle. I am sure he is in heaven smiling down on me and Simon.

John Keiber

Thank you Max for being my best friend, companion and protector for the past 14 1/2 years. Thank you for the many smiles you brought to not only me but to the girls, for drying my legs off every time I got out of the bath tub or shower, for eating my left-overs when no one else would, for being my constant shadow and keeping me company following me everywhere I went. You never complained and always greeted me so affectionately when I came home from work until your stroke. Thank you for being my alarm clock in the morning getting me out of bed...thank you for choosing me the day I came to get you. I had no idea how lucky I was going to be. The hardest thing I have ever done in my life was to let you go but I love you enough that I didn't want you to be in pain any longer, to wonder around the house aimlessly, to not be able to walk or to get up, to have to wear that stupid diaper (although you looked great in anything you wore). I'm sorry I'm not taking this that well because I know you would want me to be happy. You brought so much joy to my life and you will and are missed. You will always have a piece of my heart. I love you!

Anouska Ferragamo

You were so loved Maxi Doodles. We will miss you so much and you will never be forgotten.
We are taking comfort in knowing you are no longer suffering.
You gave us 17 wonderful years...and funny how that still doesn't seem like quite enough time...Your Dad and I will keep your spirit alive with all our wonderful memories.
We love you now and forever...Rest in peace our beloved Max until we meet again.

Maureen Harris

This tribute is to my beloved dog, Max, who passed away on 5/1/07.
He was the joy of my life and my companion for sixteen years.
He had lost his hearing, his eyesight was blurred and he was suffering from Alzheimer's.
At the end, he no longer recognized me and his quality of life was gone, so I had to make the hardest decision of my life to let him go.
I shall never forget the love and bond I had with this small dog. He was always by my side and I miss his presence constantly.
Go to Rainbow Bridge, Max and wait for me. I will always love you.

Patricia Burwell

my little boy

Stacy

Dear Max:

It has only been 9 days and we miss you more than words can say.
we love you and always will. Stay peaceful and we will see you some day.

We are planting a magnolia tree in the backyard where you loved to play and roll in the grass.
We are naming it Max's tree and scattering some of your ashes beneath it.
Your frisbee will also stay next to your ashes forever.

Love always and always,

Mommy and Daddy

THANK YOU MAX FOR BEING THE ANSWERED PRAYER OF A CHILD SO LONG AGO... THANK YOU FOR THE LOVED YOU SHOWED ME FOR THE MANY YEARS WE SHARED AND AS WE BOTH GREW OLD TOGETHER. YOU WILL ALWAYS HOLD A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART AND I PRAY THAT ON THE DAY THAT I COME TO THE BRIDGE THAT YOU ARE THERE TO GREET ME AS YOU DID FOR SO MANY YEARS.
MAY THE SOULS OF ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED,THROUGH THE MERCY OF GOD, REST IN PEACE.
KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED BEYOND ANY WORDS THAT EXIST.

Erica Coyle

We miss you

Billy & Donna

Love, Mom & Dad

Max was the sweetest dog alive.
He died of Cancer that took him in only 4 weeks.
He was the love of my life. I still cry every nite for him.
I will miss him greatly.

Barbara

This morning we led Max to the Rainbow Bridge, in order to end his pain and suffering from nasal cancer. I held him in my arms during his final moments..reminding him how much that we loved him. I
promised him that this was not a farewell or a good bye..it was simply a tine-out, as we will meet up once again at the Rainbow Bridge. I truly believe that.
This has been a very hard period for the all of us...Max wasn't a dog or a pet..he was family!..and in that vein he will be mourned and grieved and remembered forever and a day.
Godspeed my precious baby boy Max. We loved you so.

Larry Miller

Max was a retired racer.
I rescued him just one month after retiring from his racing career.
He have me six glorious years and will forever be with me in spirit.
He defined LOVE.
He encompassed all that is love.
He was so very loving, so very gentle, and so very sweet.
Max loved everybody, humans and animals.

Just one look into those big brown eyes and he HAD you!
He certainly knew how to work it!
Max was a certified Therapy Dog and helped many on their road to recovery and those who were about to cross over.
He was such a special soul, he was my angel.
I love you so much and miss you so much my sweetheart but I know you are pain free and running somewhere over the bridge.
Thank you my sweet Max for all the love and warmth you gave to me.
You are my heart and soul, I love you Max.

Cindy Johansen

I Love U Max U R My Son My Right Hand I Dont Know What Im Going To Do Without You My Heartis Empty I Loveu So Much I Know Your Looking Out For Me I Will Never Stop Missing U Rip

Dan

Our Beautiful Boy Max is gone from this life but is not forgotten.
His suffering is now over and although we miss him terribly we are happy to know he is in a better place without pain or illness.
We were very blessed to have been his parents for his entire life and we are much better people for having known and loved him.
We were lucky to have been present when his time came and he passed away in my arms, without assistance.
Our boy is gone and we grieve his loss but we know we will meet again.
You will always be in our hearts and in our wonderful memories.
Rest in peace our brave, brave boy.
Love,
Mumma & Daddy

Max was the sweetest little thing. He loved to give kisses and snuggle on the couch getting his belly rubbed. He was such a lovers and will be missed by all.

Amanda

Max was the light of our lives; he was truly "Max the Wonder Dog".
We adopted Max from the Humane Society when he was about 2 years old.
He was a loving, sweet and gentle boy.
We lost him due to extensive internal injuries suffered when he was struck by a car - he was chasing a cat.
We will never forget him and we will miss him forever.

Lisa Johnson and Family

Max was my best friend. He was shy and timid, but always perked up when it was time for a walk or to go swimming. We loved him very much and will never forget him. He is now with all his friends, Trey, Sammy, Jack and Cleo.

Anthony Delguercio

Max.... the best dog in the world!
Our gentle giant as referred by all.
Our wonderful 120lb. newfoundland/bouvier mix that we've all renamed a Nouvier breed!!
You will never know how much we love and miss you... you are in our hearts forever.
I know how much you missed your little sister, Molly, after she died and eventhough the pain for us is deep, we know you are with the one you missed the most.
You have left us with an emptiness we can't fill eventhough we still have Kenzi.
Someday, I hope to get the sign to bring another puppy home that you have sent to us.
I think of you all the time whether driving the car or cooking dinner.
I miss everything about you.
You have no idea how many lives you touched and how many friends you had... neither did we until we recieved calls from people that you had touched along the way.
Please take care of Molly and know that we will miss you forever!
I love you Max.... you were the best thing I ever brought home while going to a Hallmark store to buy a card!!!

Julie DeBacco

No words can describe how I feel the day that you left me...a piece of my heart went with you. I miss you, you were my protector and my best friend. Thank you. I love you always and forever.

Lori Montovani

To dearest friend in the whole world, Mommie's best boy,
My Max. He was an avid music lover, a bird watcher and a cat lover.
He enjoyed all the holidays and having other friends and dogs come to visit.
He played a great game of soccer and was very kind to all animals, both large and small, although it has been years since he has passed to the rainbow bridge,
I often think of him and remember his kindness and love that we all shared with him.
I still miss him so very much.

Nancy Lew

Max you were our pure joy and you will always be your Mommy's best gift. You will be in our hearts forever.

We will pray every day that one day a cure or effective treatment will be found for congential mega-esophagus.

We love you forever and Mommy's misses you more than you will ever know.

Mom, Dad, Koia, Tanzi and Toby

Ilost my beloved little boy today. He fought many brave battles-cancer being the battle he finally lost.My heart aches and I long to see him and touch him again. Until the very end that stubby tail was always wagging and those soft brown eyes smiled at me. His love was unconditional and endless. Everyone noticed our bond.He will forever be in my memory and a special part of my life. Max-I love you and miss you so much-I know you will be watching over your beloved mommy from above. You are in my heart.

Jennifer Henne

I MISS YOU MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY. YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND. ALWAYS THERE FOR ME

Fran

My little boy Max, my best buddy, I miss you so very much!

Lillian

To Max my best friend and conpanion, You gave me unconditional love, thank you, you were funny and happy,loved everyone you met. You were the best.
Till we meet again I love you.
Mama

You were only with us for a short time but the love you gave us was enormous.
We were glad to have had you in our lives.
You are forever in our hearts.

Dave, Sue, Logan & Rachel Warner

To my little Maxie...
I cannot even begin to express the depth of heartbreak and emptiness I feel now that you are gone.
You shared your life with me for 13 years and I am so grateful for that.
I know you would not want me to be sad but I miss you so much.
There were so many little things you did that made me smile... the bright, attentive eyes and perked up floppy ears when you heard me ask if you wanted to go for a walk or go for a ride... the warmth of your little body and softness of your fur when we napped together on the couch... the endless kisses I would just have to give you on your little nose and cheeks just because you looked so cute sleeping on the couch... the way you learned to say "I love you" to get your favorite treats... the jingle of your collar that let me know you were near by... your constant companionship that kept me from feeling alone.
You gave me so much and asked for so little in return.
All you really wanted was to be with your family no matter where we were. I hope you know I was never really mad at you for eating half my tuna sandwich that day when I ran upstairs to answer the phone.
You hid under my desk for so long after I returned, as I sat wondered how I could forget eating half a sandwich.
Just when I was about to chalk it up to faulty memory, I see you trying to sneak out from under the desk and quietly disappear.
The lettuce lying on the floor confirmed what you had done.
I will always treasure this memory as an example of your weakness for people food and how easily you could outsmart me. But when cancer robbed you of your body and left only pain and suffering, we knew we had to let you go.
Now that your pain is gone and old bones can't hold back your spirit, run as fast as your little legs can carry you.
Bask and play in the warm sunshine.
Nap under the shady trees and drink from the cool, clear stream.
You will always be in my heart little baby and one day I will see your bright eyes and floppy ears running to greet me.
I will get to scratch your little belly once again. I love you so much little Max.

Tammy

Max,although your life was short the love will last a lifetime.
We will never forget you, sweet little friend, you were beautiful in everyway,
I will look for you in the sunshine,
You are forever loved,and forever missed.

Susan

My special brave boy got sick so quickly. He loved the woods and the water, and he got to see it on New Year's. Then, he was gone. I am thankful for the joy he gave me and the people in our lives in his 13 years. I miss him so much, but I know he will be waiting for me and Lucky at Rainbow Bridge, with that stupid grin on his face.

Roger Guerrero and Lucky (His Sister)

Max leaving us was the end of an era for us.
I really feel the empty nest now. Our son was in Middle school when we brought Max home as a 6 week old. He and Michael grew up together and he still got so excited when Michael came for visits. He was a grand old dog and such a naughty young dog. We loved him.

Janet Ebach

Our little boy was only 2 when we lost him.
He had a weak heart.
He was loving, kind and so special.
We spent every day together and now I look forward to seeing him again at "The Rainbow Bridge". I miss him so.
Max's Mom

You gave us so much love. You were the neighborhood playmate for all the children as they grew from a small child of 4 or 5 to a young adult of 18 and 20. You were the comfort during the night when we were sick or sad. The laughs, friendship, love, and memories will stay with us forever. Rosie, Roo and most of all Callie, miss their friend and brother very much. We love you!

Courtney, Kristopher, Kerry, Mary Ellen

I ONLY HAD MAX FOR 3 WEEKS , HE WASN'T REALLY MY CAT. SOMEONE PUT HIM OUT AT MY AUNT'S HOUSE AND SHE COULDN'T KEEP HIM , SO I BROUGHT HIM HOME WITH ME . HE WAS SICK AND I TOOK HIM TO THE VET TWICE AND HAD HIM ON SPECIAL FOOD AND MEDICINE. I TOOK HIM BACK AND HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GETTING WELL. THE VET PUT HIM ON ANTIBIOTICS FOR 5 DAYS. ABOUT 6 DAYS LATER AND HE WAS WORSE OFF THAN WHEN I GOT HIM, SO I TOOK HIM TO ANOTHER VET AND HE CHECKED HIS BLOOD AND HE HAD FELINE AIDS. I HAVE 6 OTHER CATS AND THE VET SAID THEY COULD CATCH IT. SO WE DECIDED TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP. I CRIED LIKE A BABY BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY GROWN TO LOVE HIM. HE WAS SO PRETTY, I HOPE I NEVER FIND OUT WHO PUT HIM OUT SICK LIKE HE WAS.

For our very special and loved dog who passed away today in his mum's lap. He was possibly the waggiest dog ever and we are sure he is now having a lovely time over the bridge with the other pets and with the other special family dogs who went before him and before he was the family pet. Please think of the family's feelings and for their future without him.

You fell asleep in my arms and i only hope that you know that we did what we did because we loved you so so much.It was the hardest decision we have ever made. Love you forever.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Suzanne, Dorothy & Roy

I'm sorry I wasn't better to you Max.
I loved you, and I really hope you knew that.
I will miss you more that you could realize.
Thinking about losing you breaks my heart.
It feels empty and wrong here, and I hate to think you died alone.
I pray that there is a heaven, and that you're waiting there for us.
You were an excellent companion and we couldn't have asked for anything more.
Thank you for loving us, and for letting us love you too.

Heather Smith

Max, aka Maxey Max, aka, Boo, was a handsome tri-color sheltie who won the hearts of everyone he met.
Max is survived by 3 feline companions, Abbey, Simon, and Samson who miss him dearly.
Max was the most loving, loyal, and best friend I could ever ask for.
He was always there for me and I miss him so much.
The pain, at times, is so unbearable.
Rest in peace, my precious Max.
I love you.

You are not replaceable.
We all loved you so much and will miss you.
I am sorry to see you go but know you are now in a better place.
I hope we didn't wait to long to help you pass.

Barba Bley

Max was a very special little guy. We resuced him from an animal shelter almost 3 years ago. He was neglacted and under weight and very sad. We brought him home and loved him. He was diagnosed with heart worm a few months later. he fought hard and made it. He was a champion! The vets couldn't believe it. He was always sweet and kind. Would not hurt a fly.A few days ago he became suddenly weak. We took him to the vet and they tried hard. When we went to see him again today, he passed away. He waited for us to say good-bye. Good-bye Max. You will forever be in our hearts. High Five Max!

Maria & Ted Golding

Max my 7 year old golden was the love of our lives..
Max came to us at 8 wks old and he was such a fun, loving baby.
Kidney failure took you from our lives..
We did our walks everyday, went to the park, went for drives.. you name it max was there for us..
Max, Mommy and Daddy has a great big hole in our hearts for you..The pain is unbearable. Your presence is everywhere..
You slept in our arms and crossed the Rainbow Bridge..

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou Lord, only makest me to dwell in safety..

Rich and Donna

I love you Max!
You were a handsome, regal man. I'm glad I could give you at least 4 years of happiness and health.
I miss you and love you....Mommy

We love and miss you Max.

13 awesome years! You are missed already by everyone who knew you and those who didn't missed out!

I love you and I'm sorry. It will never be the same around here without you.

Maybe now you'll understand that you were really were a German Shepherd and NOT a Golden Retriever.

You're missed all ready.

Mom, Dad, Bailey and Trevor

Max you will stay in our hearts

Debbie Adams

Max was a great member of our family.
He added so much.
He is missed very much.
He met us at the front door when we came home and always knew when someone in the family wasn't feeling well, for he never left their side.
He loved to snuggle and had to be touching someone when he was in the same room with you, he was a great foot warmer in the winter.
Until we meet againMaxer, know that you are in our hearts and thoughts every day.

Debbie & Steve

Max,

You are a special boy and we will miss you lots. We will never forget all the fun times that we had together, and all the laughter you brought into our lives. You will will always be here in our hearts and memories. We love you and will see you again someday.
Love,

Mommie and Daddy

I am here to pay tribute to my precious Max. My ex husband and I had just started dating when Max entered our lives. He was confiscated from a dog fighter and was waiting on doggie death row while the trial was in progress for his pathetic excuse of an owner. In Louisiana(where we lived) pitt bulls are killed immediately...no adoptions, no second chance. Max's case was different. Animal control had picked him up before and they knew he was not a violent dog. This last visit found Max very torn up...he was probably a "bait dog" since he was not a fighter. The doctors decided to operate on his many wounds in order to give him a chance at life he had been deprived of thus far.

A chick at another radio station in town told Rob(my ex) about a sweet dog needing a home and Rob, never having a pet of his own, agreed to take Max. That began one of the most wonderful relationships either of us had ever known. You would have thought Max was trained to be inside.He was perfect. I still laugh at waking up one evening on the couch to see Max slowly putting paw after paw up onto the couch to lay beside me after I had told him earlier he had to lay on the floor...he was making every effort not to wake me. Being the wuss that I am, I let him stay up there with me.

Max was my first experience with the pitt bull breed and he is the reason I rescued another young pit bull needing a home in Fort Worth. The mindless media falsely portrays pitts as ruthless...not stopping to think that the ones that kill are the ones that are RAISED to be mean. A poodle is probably meaner and would do more damage that a pitt had it the muscle of a larger breed.

All I know is that I will miss my Max terribly. I will miss his playfully running away whenever I ran his bath water...I will miss his lying on the floor beside my chair while I worked on the computer...I will miss his fat,warm body lying next to me on the couch..a body so warm that I never needed a blanket...even in the dead of winter..I will miss his biting at the water as I squirted him with the water hose..and most of all, I will miss seeing him sitting by the door waiting for me to get home...His somehow knowing to wait by the door when I visited him last Christmas..some 8 months since I had been home previously. He knew I was coming home.

Even though I miss him so, I am thankful he will suffer no more from the degenerative nerve disorder that was taking his life bit by bit. I can rest easy knowing that God took him last night while he slept in his favorite chair in his own home.

Hug your babies today. They are only with us for a while.

Tasha Garrison

We will love you forever Max, rest in peace xoxoxox

Jennifer

My beloved best friend left this earth after loving me for 13 1/2 years.
Max loved me unconditionally and I loved him the same way.
He was my emotional support, my best friend and my buddy.
We were very close and I did everything I could for him since the day I brought my baby home.
He is in peace now and my heart breaks.
My home is empty.
Till we meet again, Maxster....Mommy loves you and misses you more than anything.

Dearest Max,
You will never be forgotten.
Thanks for being such a loyal companion.
We love you and pray that God will bless your soul.
May you rest in peace, Dear Boy.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

love always......

Lori Miller

Today I cry for Max. He was my joy for 11 years. He was always there to make me smile, to wipe tears, and provide love, care, and friendship. I will never forget how you followed me from room to room everyday of your life. I ask that you now lead me through this pain of you not being here. I will love you forever my baby Max.

Patti Miner

I remember when my Mom first called me and said, you'll never guess what Paul (my StepDad) found down by the mailbox...someone dumped a puppy there. She wouldn't admit it, but I knew then when they named him Max, that he was home to stay. ALthough the potty training was tough, everyone made it through intact! Max became such a wonderful part of everyone's life, our dog Millie, and Max became fast playmates even though Millie outweighed him by 30 pounds, when they went to play tug-of-war she would lighten up on her pulling so Max could play. His life may have been short here with us, but Max brought such joy, he got to travel and see the sights, he had such a personality, usually getting his way (Mom could be such a push-over for a little begging), and expected his treats "just because he was so cute". Thanksgiving wasn't the same without him the house was so quiet, no jingling of tags and jumping on the bed to wake everyone up at the crack of dawn, Millie was lost sniffing and looking for him. My Mom misses him terribly he was her daily companion, a furry void that nothing can yet fill. I hope this tribute and knowing that we all miss little Max helps ease her soul.
Love, sniffs, licks and kisses
Norm, Lisa and Millie

Max, We will always love you. For being such a little guy, you sure have a large spot in our hearts. You gave us many good times and taught us so much, you will be missed so much. We know you are in a better place we just miss you.

We will hold all of our memories of you in our heart and we can't wait to hold you in my arms again.

We love you, Max.

Your family,
The Reiner's

I love you my sweet boy!!

Mommy misses you so much!!
Until we meet again.

Janet Roos

A DOG FOR JESUS
I wish someone had given Jesus a dog
As loyal and loving as mine
To sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes
And adore Him for being divine.

As our Lord grew to manhood His faithful dog
Would have followed Him all through the day
While He preached to the crowds and made the sick well
And knelt in the garden to pray.

It is sad to remember that Christ went away
To face death alone and apart
With no tender dog following close behind
To comfort its Master's Heart.

And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn
How happy He would have been
As His dog kissed His hands and barked its delight
For The One who died for all men.

Well, the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine
The old pal so dear to me
And I smile through my tears on this first day alone
Knowing they're in eternity.

Day after day, the whole day through
Wherever my road inclined
Four feet said, "I am coming with you!"
And trotted along behind.

My dear Max,
They say it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved before, but why is the loss so painful?
I held you in the palm of my hand when you were first born, born in the basement of our house to a stray dog (Lucky) we took in.
When you nursed from your mother, you laid on your back and pumped her belly, trying to get
more milk than your brothers and sisters.
During your life, you played in the snow, swam in the ocean, herded sheep on a farm, went to many parks, and went on countless walks and had many car rides.
We celebrated your birthday every year with carrot cake.
I will never forget the time you stole two roasted chickens from the countertop and ate them.
I was mad at the time, but now I hope you really enjoyed them.
You loved your toys - especially your hedgehog and then your Big Dog ball -which you squeaked every morning.
You were scared of thunderstorms and I would find you hiding in the bathtub when one blew in.
You survived the hurricanes with us.
I used to love to share my bed with you when you could get up on one.
You were gentle with everyone, Noah and Gabby especially.
You used to play monkey in the middle when Chris and I played paddle ball.
We superimposed you in your tuxedo in our wedding photo - I couldn't bear the fact of not having you in any of our wedding photos.
You used to sit next to Mom and keep her company when she worked.
You stayed by my side when I was on bedrest with Noah.
You survived being hit by a car and a terrible tooth infection, but you couldn't beat old age.
I hope you are chasing sheep in Heaven with your brothers, sisters, and mother, once again able to run fast, much faster than we could ever catch up to.
I hope you are eating all those things we thought were so bad for you.
My dear Max, you are the dog love of my life.
You will always be in my prayers and thoughts.
Tricia loves you and thanks you for saving her life.
Dad says you're his best friend.
Mom says she's going to miss you so much. Remember us always as we will you.
We look forward to you greeting us when we join you again.
Love, Mom, Dad, Melissa, Tricia, Noah, Chris, John, and Gabby (She'll miss you the most - she loved cleaning your face and ears)

MAX YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE IN OUR HEARTS.

Carlos, Linda , and Carlos Jr. Torres

Max, you gave us such joy and happiness!! It's so hard to let you go, we love you and miss you so much

Max. Oh my SWEET, SWEET MAX. My Sweet Baby Boy. My Angel, my only one, my only one son, friend,love, best friend Max. Mommie lived because you lived, you made me live, I miss you so much. You were/are the best.
Please be waiting for me.
I will never let you go, from my heart, thoughts, my every second of existence.
I WILL SEE YOU SOON SWEETHEART.

Elise Truglio

Max and I shared 11 years of our lives together.
He didn't like cats - I didn't like cats.
I never knew that a furball could be so much fun and filled with so much love.
I'll never forget the first time he did his exercises on me (stair-stepping) or turned his purr machine on.
I'll never forget the mice (alive) he brought home or the birds he caught.
Max is also known as "you little bastard" for those thousands of times he Kamikazed me as I was coming around the corner, nipping me in my calf and scaring me half to death... We had such a great life together and I am so awfully sad it is over but thank God (out loud) for the memories.
And thank you for letting me share a little bit with you.

Diane

Dear Max,

You touched our hearts and filled our lives with some of the happiest moments we have known.
You were the sweetest, best good boy and we love you so very much.
Your passing yesterday has broken our hearts and we miss you so.
We have to believe that you are with Grandma now, running and playing and eating all the good stuff!

You will forever be our smart and good "Little Dog" - the best dog in the world.

Love to you-
Mama and Andy

Max and Bonnie were like an old married couple , and they gave us memories that we will never forget ,Lucky passed away on the 19/03/2007 , please look after her now as you did while she was with you here at your home . All three of you please wait for us and we will all be together once again ,Mummy +Daddy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They were my family.
I miss them so much.
They truely made my life whole.
My animals always made sure I was loved.
I barely get through the days without them.

Neva R. Mills

My girl was here, and now she's gone
Yet I am left to carry on
How do I do it?
I yet not know.
My girl and I where soulmate
this I am sure
Although, I can't see her I feel her still here
She's like the wind of nature-
You can't see it, but you can feel it -

and know it exists

Heather Batta

We loved you from day one and feel completely blessed to have had you in our lives.
While 14 1/2 years sounds like a long time, it just wasn't enough.
We know that you're free now, but we'll miss you more than you could ever know.

Laura, Johnny & Lucky

Maxie was very smart and also very sweet. She loved to shake, give fives, sit, lay down and even speak on command. She had hip problems in her back legs in which I am sure it was painful for her. She had hip displacia and arthritis. She would lay on the floor and rarely move or get up for anyone or any reason. We got used to looking for a big black dog in the dark and stepping over her. The last couple months she began to loose weight but slowly. She was eating, drinking and acting just fine. She was under a vets care. The week of Monday, October 22, 2007 - Friday, October 26, 2007 She really began to loose weight and began to slow on eating and drinking. Saturday, October 27th and Sunday, October 28th she went from bad to worse. She stopped eating and drinking and couldn't control her bladder (she would go while she was laying down and sometimes asleep). She lost weight and became very lethargic. We were afraid she wouldn't make it Monday to the vet's office. Monday came and she was feeling better and even made an attempt to eat and drink. She threw it up within minutes. We finally arrived at the vets office about 9am. We told them all her symptoms and they checked her out. The vet said her stomach and intestines were hard and swollen. They told us the worst news a pet lover and owner could possibly hear... cancer. She had stomach cancer and it is painful and fatal. She had already suffered so much and was always in pain with her hips and lost so much weight. She had 2 previous families who had to give her away due to cancer in the family. Its ironic and cruel that it wouldn't only take her from the people she loved but in the end take her life. We discussed all the information the vet gave us and her symptoms and decided (along with the vet) the best thing and most humane thing to do was to have her put to sleep. It was one of the toughest decisions we have ever had to make. I find comfort she did not die alone or in pain. It was quick and in her sleep (something we all wish for). She didn't have to suffer another day. Also the last week or two she had good days and bad days. I am thankful she passed on a day that was considered a good day, even though she was still very sick and in pain. Its been a rough week without her around, without petting her, playing with her, seeing her and the kids play, seeing her and the other animals play, hearing her bark (it was deep enough to scare off any burgular) hearing her footsteps following me when its time for bed or for her walk. I still find myself looking for her to be laying on the floor when I come out of the bathroom after my shower, guarding the bedroom by laying in front of the door, in the kitchen while I am cooking, playing with the kids and letting them use her as their pillow. She is greatly missed but I am thankful to have had her in my life. I belive dogs do go to heaven. after all dog spelled backwards is God. They are angels that are sent to us to be our friend when no one else is, someone to tell or secrets too without a worry it will be retold and someone to listen when we are sad or have had a bad day.

Sweet Maxie, we miss you so much. I am sorry you had to endure so much in your life. You were taken before your time but God must have needed you more. You were our best friend and we love you. You will forever be in our hearts and so often on our minds. With great love and heavy hearts God Speed Sweet Maxie-girl, we love you, Good-bye!

Shaun, Kerry, Chance and Blake

My gorgeous girl, I miss you each day. You live on through Ruby who has the same sweet nature as you.

Jill Deneys

I miss you Mama girl.

Joanne R Gauthier

We will miss you Maxie so much.
We know you lived a good life and almost made it to 15 years old.
We have so many good memories of you.
We love you and the house has an empty spot without you in it.
I hope you are running around playing and getting your food on time just the way you liked it.

Mindy Stierman

Maxie had the sweetest dispostion. She loved everyone especially little kids. She never asked for much and was very much a watch dog. Once when she was at my apartment my boyfriend came home and when he went to climb into bed she growled and nipped him. She was always there when some one was sad. She just knew. When she was a puppy she had the instincts of a search and rescue dog. I wish I had the time to dedicate to train her but I did not. "Everyone loves Max" that's what we would always say. The second time that her groomer Ms. Norma had her, she wanted to buy her a cheeseburger. She loved to be brushed. So when the time came to let her go, I asked the vet tech for a brush and she gave me one. I brushed out her ears and my boyfriend brushed out her tail. So when my parents got to the vet's she looked beautiful. She is truely missed. Maxie will never be forgotten.

Max was the most loving, sweetest dog ever. she fought a brain tumor for a year and our family will miss her very very much.

Max you were my gentle giant. I am so sorry that you were alone and so scared when death found you too soon, too unexpected. I miss you so much my little man. You were an exceptional animal who was more than a pet but one of the family. We will miss you big guy, but I know your soul is running free. I will never forget you and promise I will see you again one day.

Max was a loving, wonderful and beautiful dog.
He was always happy to me and family.
We loved him very much!
He had gotten very sick and died last Monday very suddenly.
We are all very grief stricken.

I just wanted to tell everyone about Max and how he impacted our lives with his unconditional love and understanding.
He was a truely wonderful and will be missed very much!

Dearest Beautiful Max,

Kind companion you will be missed.

Max’s Poem - written June 1998 by his Mommy Marianne Lower
Original version at:
http://www.marianneland.com/max/max.htm

He’s my little man from Dachsund Land, protector of my life.
He brings me joy and happiness and never brings me strife.

Soft brown eyes, suspicious eye whites, wet black nose, phew! stinky breath!
Sultry looks of love and longing, he’d protect me unto death.

My little man from Dachshund Land loves me like none other.
He’s long and lean and muscle bound and covered in red fur.

Little legs like tiny pistons faster than a great V8!
Heart so big his ribs can’t hold it, he’s my little canine mate.

He’s my little man from Dachshund Land, my hand he’d never bite.
He loves me even better when he gets his treat each night.

2 inch legs and 2 foot body, long lean nose and silken ears,
rippling muscles, bright white teethies, lack of food is all he fears.

He’s my little man from Dachshund Land, protector of my life.
He brings me joy and happiness and never brings me strife.

Greg Owens

We will always love you, and we miss you very much. We hope to see you again, and have more fun times. We love you Maxine!

Paula

Maxie, you were the best dog I ever had.
I miss you so much.
My life feels so empty without you.
I miss just looking at you.
You devoted you whole life to me and I thank you for that.
I hope you are up in heaven and catching all the fribsees you can handle.
Be happy up there and I will see you someday.
I will love you forever and I will never forget you.

Shannon

Maxine, my little sweet girl, I am so lost without you.
You were always with me - cuddling with me at night, eating with me, playing tag, greeting me excitedly when I came home, sitting and lying on me, following me everywhere.
I talked to you all day, and you talked back.
The house feels so lonely now that I've lost both you and Gizmo.
I know the love we had for each other will continue and I'll feel you with me always.
I've cried a bucket of tears.
Say hello to Gizmo for me, and goodbye my little pumpkin, but only until I see you and Gizmo again!
Mommy

Maxine, you will be missed terribly...I only hope that you are young and carefree again, and that when my day has come, I will meet with you again, and continue our Journey together.
Murphy and Lucky miss you something huge.
Please guide them, and whisper to them so they don't feel so lonely.
It's so quiet without your warning bark--and the blinds haven't been up since you've been gone.
No one could protect our house like you could.
Love you forever and Always--Momma

Maxine, my Gremlin, loved and cherished forever, sadly missed every day. Please wait for me, my love.

My heart is sick! I will love him forever!

Cindi

Maxwell has been with us for 13 years and he will be sadly missed by all of us. I have a 5 and 3 year old so it is really hard for them cause they really don't understand. Maxwell was always so friendly from day one. He was a very big cat but that was him. Feels very weird around here without him around. He was our baby and will be sadly missed. RIP maxwell and remember you are in our hearts.

Linda Armella

My dearest friend, Darrell, had to make the hardest decision of his life this morning - to have his dog, Maxwell, put to sleep. Maxwell suffered with lymphoma (cancer) for two months. I only met Maxwell twice, but I came to love this beautiful animal. Darrell lovingly referred to Maxwell as one of his "boys" (he has German shepherd named Major). Knowing that Max is resting and not hurting anymore is comforting. Rest in peace, Maxwell....you will be deeply missed. xxx

Trisha Rose

Our sweet sweet Max,
We will greatly miss you. We find comfort knowing you are with Mike, Duke (and that endless ball supply) along with the other angels that have gone before you. We know you are shinning down on everyone, in peace. Until we meet again dear friend. We love you.

Sheri, Steve, Jonas, Bear, Herc, Leo and Hans Torres

Maxwell you will always be in my heart. You gave me so much love. Love like I have never known. Everyday spent with you was a blessing. My days are lonely without you. My heart aches for you. I will love you forever. You are dearly missed.
Love,
Mommy

Maxwell came into our lives nine years ago, our first adoptee of Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue.
He was the epitomy of a Golden and we could not have asked for a more loving, sweet boy.
He loved to "talk", loved his walks, and loved to be the comedian - playing like a puppy because he never knew he was thirteen years old.
He was a joy!
How we miss him; the heart aches and the tears flow...but he's now free from pain, from cancer...and running free at Rainbow Bridge.
Hopefully I'll have him in my arms again...until that time, he'll always be remembered with love.

Andrea Lewis & Jeff Fuller

Our Beloved Boy who gave us so much joy. Until we meet again, be happy and keep watching for us.

Reinhard Denise and Darby

My baby Maxi you were so brave I miss you so much, putting you to sleep was the hardest thing i have ever done. I cried more for you then I did for my Mother. But you were so sick my honey, and you fought a really big battle, I will always love you forwver and ever....

Ernestine

Maxwell, my dear beloved dog extradinaire.
Words are not enough now - I wish I could have had Morgan with you when you crossed, he has missed you so much.
So many of the people we used to visit miss you still & ask about you.
I feel you near by & know you are always with me - hopefully there are plenty of balls there for you to chase & catch & keep in your mouth as you sleep.
My dear sweet mushy boy, I miss you every day & say good night to you every night - I know you hear me -
I love you forever, my once in a lifetime boy.

Maxwell Hound ..You were the son I never had I let you down not realising how ill you were I only wish I could take your place xxxxxDaddy Graham

Maxi, we all love you and miss you so much.
The void you left in our hearts will never be filled.
All we can hope is that you are somewhere happy and warm and safe...and most of all, that you know how much we love you still.

I know you were just on a little romp, and you would have come home if you could.
I know you didn't suffer, and your last thoughts were of adventure.

So we put you to bed for the last time under a mighty oak...a tree that is the symbol of your spirit and your strength...and we know that you are still on a little romp...chasing bunnies and cats...and you feel our love over the distance...and we will snuggle someday, somehow, again.

Mark, Wendy, Bernie, and Melissa Koen

My little Maxwell- you were magical. From the way you hugged me every night, to your constant demands for attention, you were indeed the star of our household. I will forever miss our walks in the garden, and your warm smell. You were an angel in a bald suit,and I pray a cure for fip will be found someday, so no cats die of it, and no one will be heartbroken as I am now. I will love you forever- mom

Max, my little buddy, we gave you 3 more years of care and love, you got sweeter, and sweeter. you were 20 pounds of sheer meaness when you came to live with us! rest well little friend rocky and sassy miss you

Darlene

We never said goodbye.
Always, Good Morning.
You gave me your best and taught me love, laughter, and in your departure. . . how to grieve.
You were my best friend, and your place in my soul will never be replaced.
Cancer can no longer cause you discomfort.
The first three lines are engraved where you will rest:

Max my loving soul dog
A golden thread connects our spirit
In us your light shines brightly

This Haiku shows you're ever present in our lives:

I’m grateful for times we’ve shared
You were always present
Beside me I see paw prints

Thank you my loving soul dog.
Run, swim and be happy.
We will feel your energy within always.
Mom, Dad, and your brother Einstein

Our lil Pumba!
We love you and miss you every day.
We think of you often and we will enjoy your hugs and kisses again some day.
Be good until we are together again!

Eric and Kathy Altman

Today we lost our beautiful dog Maxx to liver cancer.
At only 7 he fought to the very end! As we prepared to take him to the vet this morning We asked one last time "Want to go for a ride?" And sure enough with every effort he was in the car in a jiffy. Maxx was a fighter, never once would whine in pain. The house is empty without you as we see your toys scattered in their places where you left them before you were too sick to play. We look for you in your favorite places to lay and still see your foot prints in the snow. WE LOVE YOU MAX AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!! Give Dukey hugs and kisses for us as you play together again.

Love Daddy, Mommy, Nicky, and Jessy

I miss you my brother.

Madison Levine

Maxx was a very unique and devoted dog. He was there when I was healing from heart surgury and he was my shadow. I will miss him so very much and will love him in my heart forever. He was a very special dog to my son and I know in his heart he will miss him very much.

Jim and Robyn Friley

Mum (Tina)'s ever loyal companion and big luvable munster and the best comrade Anthony's ever had.
You are forever loved and terribly missed.

Tina and Anthony Z

Dear Maxx:

You were a joy and comfort to our life the last 12 years.
You were a wonderful companion. Maxx you licked my tears when dad was ill, and have always loved us. After all you picked us, we did not pick you.
You were comical and strong, thought you were a "Tough Guy" but such a sweetheart. We know you now met your brother Schultz. Take care of each other. We love you both and you both will always be in our hearts and thoughts. Here is a special hug from dad. He misses you more than words can say. Our love for you will never dies.
We will meet again one day. All our love Mom & Dad

Our best friend for 12 years. You were a joy to our life and added so much comfort and fun. When dad was sick, I do not know what I would have done without you. Dad & I miss you more than words could ever express. We know you now met Schultz the brother you never knew, please take care of him, and let him know we will all meet again some day on Rainbow Bridge.
All our love
Mom & Dad

To Maxx:
You meant so much to all of us.
You were fiercely loyal, a lot of fun, and showed compassion by sitting quietly with us when we needed it.
You gave 1000% to us, and we deeply appreciate your love, hugs, and kisses.
As you stood by us, we too stood by you when the end came.
We were all with you when they laid you to rest because you were in great pain. We will pick you up on Rainbow Bridge to enter eternal life together.
Thanks for all the love and memories, Maxx.
Rest until we get there.

Robin Holderness

Maxx, you gave us all you had in you through the good times and bad.
Thanks for your unconditional love and devotion.
We are saving your tennis balls for you.
Thanks for being you, Maxx.
You are so loved and missed terribly.
We'll pick you up on the bridge when we get there.
All our love and kisses.
Jenna, Mike, Mom and Dad

Maxx,

So sorry you got sick. We love and miss you alot.We think of you often. You now have company with Mollie. Please take care of her. We miss you. We will see you again in heaven. God Bless.

Michelle, Mike, Meghan and Alex

Dear Maxxie,
Oh how I miss you. You were truly God sent. I got you when I really needed something else to focus on. I loved you so much. I never thought I was capable of loving a pet as I loved you. You showed me how to love unconditionally. Everyone loved you Maxx, everyone misses you so much. Please know - nothing can ever replace you. May God welcome you into his Kingdom, for you are a true angel. I love you and miss you ever so much.

Cheryl Cain

My Precious Boy,

I love you so much. The pain is so raw. I know you are pain free and running in a beautiful place. You gave me so much in your 12 years. You were with me through good and the rough times. You were my constant. Your presence is still strong here, and I don't know how I will sleep tonight, without you. I keep looking at the clock and thinking, it is time for your medicine or your meals. I am looking for your cute cocker face looking up at me, when I am having dinner, just hoping for a bite. How am I going to ever get past this pain? I hope you know how much you were loved and how important you were to me. You were and forever will be my heart dog, my angel. I will always love you.

Jan

To my wonderful little boy, you were my sweet loving little kitty only wanting love and attention all the time.
I miss your wake up kisses every morning before the alarm goes off. Love and miss you forever

Donna Priselac

He was wonderful. Not the typical Siamese. I still miss him after all these years.

Candy

We only had our Maya for almost three years...but she was one of the best friends I ever had...I love her so much...she made everyone she came in contact with feel happy.
I felt her love for me was deeper than any dog I'd ever had.
She was a beautiful Old English Shepherd and her beauty was only exceeded by the beauty of her heart.
She had many nick names Maya Sweet Papaya, Maya Sun, Maya Sohoni,etc...
She left us abruptly and I know she waits for me wherever she is and we both will go home together one day...I will never forget you Maya and I will love you always...please tell Monkie and Odie hi and tell them I want you all to be patient and have fun...I will be looking for you all when I get there...

Donnie & Lovett & Mark Kimbrought

So wonderful and sweet to ALL living things.
Always a pleasure and joy to be with.
We will see you when the time is ready.
Please say hello to Abbey and Dooley.
All our love.

Terry and Debbie Sweitzer

Semper Fidelis. She was the best dog a boy could ever have. She kept me alive. She brought me from the bad times through to the good times. I split my last can of tuna with her. She knew how to give hugs without arms. She loved only me and at times she was the only friend I had. She was smart, she was funny, everybody thought she was a really good-looking girl. When I adopted her, she came right up to me out of a big litter as if she knew exactly who I was. I will miss her.

Dave Miller

Maya, we love you and we miss your Mastiff traits and loving nature. Waking up in the morning and coming home from work, your enthusiasm to see us is irreplaceable and when you wanted something, attention, a snack or anything else, the way you would slap us with your giant paws always made us smile and laugh. You are a precious puppy and we are heart broken that you were not able to live a longer life with us, we love you baby girl, love mommy and daddy.

Not having any children of my own, Maya was my baby girl. She loved to play basketball, frisbee, and pick up sticks. We would play hide and seek. You couldn't say the word walk so I started to spell it and low and behold, before long she had that figured out. At night she would lay down next to my side of the bed. If I were on the couch she would lay by my feet. Coming home from work she would tell me about her day and mumble mommomma. Maya...my baby girl.

Barb

Maya you were my boy a cute little black cat.
My spiritual friend always at my side..

Have fun with Kara..
Bye love,
Mom,
Markee

My big sweet smart good baby girl. I'll miss her forever. I love you baby.

Kelley Essoe

Maya my cute baby boy named after someone in King Tutankamun's court. Enjoy Kara.

Markee

My dearest Maybelle,

You were just a tiny kitten when you came into and changed my life!
Your blue eyes and the patch of white fur on you chest in the shape of a heart.

You stole my heart. My life revolved around you and every decision I made considered you!

You were my friend, companion, confidant, pal.
You helped me each time a new kitten joined the household and then the dog.
Maybelle, you took care of everyone until the terrible illness struck your tiny body...renal failure.

I knew I would loose you to this awful monster that slowly took you away.
Thank you for fighting a good battle and letting me take care of you!

Rest easy my sweet Maybelle, you have earned it.

So this is where we part, my friend,
And you’ll run on, around the bend.
Gone from sight, but not from mind,
New pleasures there you’ll surely find.

I will go on, I will find the strength,
Life measures quality, not it’s length.
One long embrace before you leave,
Share one last look, before I grieve.

There are others, that much is true,
But they are they, and they aren’t you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
Will remember well all you’ve taught.

Your place I’ll hold, you will be missed,
The fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
Take with you this…I loved you best.

See you at the Bridge someday....

Love Patty

Mayday was my first baby ratrat. Her death is the first pet loss I have ever endured in my life, and it has been harder than I can imagined. She taught me much and will be forever loved.

Thank you, Mayday. You are missed, but never forgotten.

Devon W

Dearest Maynard....know how much you were loved and cared for. We all miss you so much! Please watch over us all until we meet again.

Lots of love and nose kisses my beautiful boy!

Elaine Gagnon, Angel and Noelle

Maynew?
What'chu doin' down there? We already miss you severely, Little Girl. :(
We will always remember your soft bunny-hued fur...your little bobbed tail...your swishy walk..and your loud, sweet purr.
Our days were blessed by having you in them!
We love you!

Tommy and Cathy

Faithful friend and lover of biscuits, you
did more to ease pain and lighten heavy hearts than you could ever know. If more people had hearts half as sensitive and loyal as yours, this world would have half as many tears. Good luck and God-speed, Max. Don't let Shurongo get all the bones.
Love forever, Mommy, Shawn, Kayla, Joey, lady and Rosco!!

peace to my wonderful friend
thank you for your years of
friendship and for staying
the extra years to carry
me thru to my new life
with my husband and my children
cheers to you mazi girl and
to your freed spirit
aho

Rebecca Abraxas

Miss Ya Girl!!!

Cindy and Shayna Stein

You are missed big guy!

Diane, Geordie, Sarah, Mischa Stripeypants and Kitty Malinkey

My best "Friend" ever!
Duff you will never know how much I miss you.
How well I remember those early wake up calls at 6:00 AM each morning and how you expected your morning treat. I hope some day soon to see you again in that beautiful place the Lord has prepared for us.
I will never forget you. I have a framed picture of you with your paw print and I look at it daily.

Love

Paps

McAuley was a loyal and gentle friend.
She loved much and taught much in her actions.
She will be missed.
I had to put her down and she looked so sad yet so relieved.
I will see you at the bridge girl.
I love you.

Sister Patricia Ann Pepitone

We met McBeal at the park in 2006. Murphy loved playing with you and your sister, Sophie. It was always a joy to see three black Labs chasing tennis balls, even though it was hard for you to run after the ball. You will be deeply missed, Bealer. We'll miss that wagging tail and those gentle eyes. Farewell, sweet dog, until we meet again.

Donna

I wish you the best!!

Kelly

You were the living definition of 'friend'. You taught us what love is. We miss you and love you. You are 'the best'!

Richard and Michelle Tweet

McCarthy, the harlequin Great Dane I adopted, has passed away.
It appears to have been of natural causes.

McCarthy was my first dog and was the sweetest animal I've ever known.
Over the years he was with me for several major events, including the death of my parents.
Throughout it all he was a loyal companion, a best friend and constant fountain of joy.
He loved everyone he met with an enthusiasm that became legendary.

As I sit here now looking at the house we shared I cannot imagine what my life will be like without him.
He was amazing, he was loving, and he was family.
He will hold his place in my heart forever.

Patrick Murphy

McCleod our darling boy, the most handsome English Mastiff , king of giants, your courage was second to none, your love and loyalty non-surpassed.
We were truly priveleged to have you in our lives for nearly 12 great years a love like ours is seldom found and truly the hardest thing to lose in life.
You're with Beda now & we know you are probably already causing havoc!
Spare a thought for us now and then and when the time is right we'll all be together once again-miss you baby, life will never be the same.
God bless darling, God bless xxxxx

Sarah and Rashmin Shah

My Very Best Buddy!
Duffy I shall miss you always. You were the best dog I ever had. I will miss your wake up call each morning at 6:00 AM. I know that if the Lord cares enough for us here on earth to give us such a good pet as you were that He will be sure to allow us to be together forever in heaven. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Love
Paps

Lewis R Long

McGee, you were my best friend and confidant. You were my only child and I love you more than life itself. I still can't believe you are gone from my life.

You slipped away while I was sleeping, without any warning or signs that something was wrong. I thought with the medicine you were on, you would be with me many more years. I am very bitter with the doctor for not following up on you more closely or not telling me to get another opinion if he knew there was a more serious problem. He knew you were the most important thing in my life. And, I am angry with myself for not taking you for a second opinion. I have so much guilt that I should have done something more, but I didn't know at the time.

I am devastated over loosing you and have not been able to accept you are gone. I still think I hear you on the hardwood floor in the bedroom. I still look for you in the window waiting for me to come home from work. I miss all the kisses you gave me when I came thru the door. I miss you snuggling with me and laying your head on my pillow or snuggling with your face in my neck. I miss your big brown eyes just watching me.

And to think I didn't want a puppy because dad and my schedules were so hectic. But dad said when we got our house we were getting a puppy. One day we went to the computer store which was right next to the pet store and we saw you. You were nothing more than a little puff ball of cotton. Dad wanted you right then and there,
but I said no. Sure enough, the next day dad went back to get you. But God knew what He was doing because McGee, you became such an important part of the family and you made our family complete. And eventually you became my best friend and protector. You changed my life so much. We met so many people in the neighborhood on our walks. People would stop their cars and get out just to pet you because you were so pretty and cute. You loved to always be on the go and I took you as many places as I could-camping, to the park, visiting family and friends, the puppy store (which you loved). I even took you a few times to my church meetings. They even gave you a part in the movie of Noah's Ark the children made. When you couldn't go with me you stayed at Gramma & Grandpa's house just so you wouldn't have to be alone. They loved you so much and miss you deeply. Grampa always talks about how much he misses you and how smart you were. And you loved them too! There will never be another one like you. You were such a loving, gentle, beautiful little puppy that everyone you met or who knew you loved you. They would always comment on how well behaved you were and that made me so proud!!Everyone was very sad when they heard you were gone. The little kids cried and we got a lot of very nice cards and letters.

You were always so snowy white and smelled like a baby - never a puppy. You didn't like your baths but you loved being blow dried and brushed out.You were soft like angels hair. I would always tell you, especially after your bath how beautiful you were.

You had more toys and clothes than some little kids have. Every color sweatshirt dad had you had one the same color - I just hemmed the sleeves to fit you.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't cry for you. My heart is broken and life has no meaning. It seems like you were just here and yet it seems like you have been gone forever. I would give anything to just be able to hold you again and tell you how much I love you and give you kisses and kisses and more kisses. I know you loved me too and will continue to watch over me and be my guardian angel. I always said you were the best boy in the North, South, East and West and I meant it.

When I would go somewhere, I always told you I would come back for you. I will this time also McGee. I look forward to the day when we will be together again- and I will NEVER have to let you go again.

Everyone tells me to get another pet but I don't know if I could ever accept another one. You have left a hole in my heart that no one could ever hope to fill.

I love you and miss you more than words can say.
I Will love you and miss you every day of my life.

Love forever and ever my sweet McGee boy,

Mom

McKay, my sweet, sweet AngelBoy...you and I went through alot together and you were always my rock.
When I had to say goodbye to you it was like the mountain slid out from under me. But then Dockie got sick within a week and after 7 months of daily treatments the cancer finally won and I had to let him go too.
I feel so cheated and more than anything I would like to go to sleep and wake up with you boys, whether it be on this side or that side of the RB..it doesn't matter...I just miss you so much!
xoxox

Valencia Spaccia

McKayla,

I was so blessed to find you and your sister as strays.
I will never forget bringing the two of you, little black balls of fur home.
You have been the sweetest and most loving baby.
I will forever remember and miss the "love bites" you gave me everyday and the gentle kisses.
I don't know why you had to leave when you did, maybe your Yorkie sister Tinkerbell needed a angel to be with her.
I love you baby, I can't wait to see you again.

Mama

Our beautiful, faithful and oh so brave friend will be missed greatly. May you find peace seeing your Dad and your dalmatian friend, Tess once again. We love you, McKenzie. Mom and Maggie

Karen Kugelman

McKenzie was a very laid-back, very loving cat. Because he always took his time getting places, we called him sloth. I always called him Big Bear as well, because his long, thing hair made him look twice as big as he really was. In his older years, it was hard for him to take care of his thick coat, so I would get him shaved. Afterwards, he would prance around proudly of his new hairdo...it was then that I jokingly referred to him as Mr. Fancy Pants! My favorite thing he would do is lovingly lick my arm or face as I pet him. I will miss him!!

Julie Glaszczak

McKenzie was our wee little Scottie with a great big nose. We loved her for her goofiness, her playful ways and will miss her terribly. She loved to help me weed the garden, and would bark and bark until I would toss her one of the offending weeds, and she would shake it to death! She hated cats, and pesky squirrels, and loud noises.
She had a special passion for water, and would jump into the bath if you forgot to close the door all the way...She would yip and splash and loved her bath. She was a snuggler, and loved to run figure 8's through the house. We will miss you Kenzie. Be happy that you can run now, and your legs work the way they should.

Mary-Margaret Ries/LeRoy Ries

Meadow
Your life gave mine purpose and meaning. I really don't want to go on without you. Worst of all is the guilt. I worked to much and never spent enough time with you. You never knew what it was to climb a tree, romp in the grass or chase bugs. Still you purred all the time and seemed happy. I am so sorry that I did not insist on more tests when I knew something was wrong. But I trusted the vet when she said it was probably not serious. From the day she found the cancer you had only 6 days left and 4 were spent in the incubator, until the pain forced me to end your suffering. Then mine began and will end only when I do. I thank you for all you gave and all you were. You helped me get through the horrible time when I lost my whole family five years ago.
I clung to you and Stevie and you both gave me a reason to continue. Now you are gone and Stevie is also 15 with diabetes and now just discovered kidney disease. When I lose him at least I hope you will be together again as you have been these last 15 years and just maybe I can join you both again soon.
Love is both a great gift and a curse. Even the angels grieve your passing.

I love and miss you,
your mom Sue.

This is for Meadow, one large long haired black kitty that I raised from a tiny rescued kitten until I had to put him to sleep today as he was suffering and without hope. He was 15 in January. No sweeter or gentler cat ever lived or was more loved. It was only a week ago that he was diagnosed with lymphoma and only 6 days since the first chemo treatment. Cancer not only took him him from me today but took away my reason for living. I still hear his ever constant purr, smell him, see his cat hair around the house.. and even think I see him in his favorite bed. His life was too short and mine is already too long.

Susan Peck

To our little buddy Meatball. You will always be loved and you will always be in our hearts. 7 years just isn't long enough we miss you more than you can posssibly know. See you later buddy.
love, mom and dad

Bye my baby, I love you and miss you.

Michael Lang

May you be restored to full health my friend, may you roam the field and catch mice, birds, frogs, snakes, squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits once again. May your spirit be free from the pain of you old broken body. May you know that I loved you from the moment I saw you, beyond measure. I hold you in my heart always. Thank you for staying by me through so many years and in so many ways. I will look for you on the other side. Love, Mom (Roe)

My Sweet Baby Meek, I will Never forget the day you came into my life, I may have been 12 but you were the best birthday gift that changed my life forever. Its been an amazing, joyful, long lasting 15 years. You and I have been thru so many things and you loved me unconditionally thru it all.
I believe in my heart that now you are so healthy and happy, running and chasing mice, your probably Queen of the Bridge already. I will never say goodbye because to me bye is not good. Please wait for me where I told you at the rainbow bridge and remember my promise, mommy will meet you at the end of the rainbow.
I love you so much and I will live on each day knowing we will reunite at our secret place, know that every single day you are in my heart and I know you’re missing me too.
I was so blessed to have you in my life for so long. You are the best kitty anyone could ask for and I will never...ever stop loving you or missing you with every bit of my heart and soul.
I love you Meek, Forever and Always,
Cradle to Grave my sweet baby

Meekaboo, you were our first "baby" and you brought us so much joy. You made our house a home and, at times, you were the glue that held us together. We had so many good times with you, thank you for being part of our lives. It's so hard to see your empty bed and realize you're not coming back. But we're comforted knowing you are playing with Bear and Skeeter at the Rainbow Bridge.

Brad & Tracee

Meeko,
I know you have been gone for a while, but mommy still thinks about you. I miss you so much.Your sister Molly passed not too long ago,I hope you have found her and are taking care of her.

We will love you forever.

Nancy Coughlin

You are and continue to be everything to me! You are soul mate. You were a real trooper with the moves into the new homes. I truly don't think I could have done it without you by my side. I love you my Baby Girl, I don't know how I'm going to do it without you. You were and continue to my biggest true JOY! I miss you so bad! I thought the days would get easier but they are only getting harder. I do trust you were then and are even more aware now of how truly instrumental you were to me. I still giggle at remembering all your little traits. A real character you were. My funny, funny girl. I believe you can still feel me loving you from your Rainbow garden. I love you and will feel the completeness that we had only when we can be together again. Enjoy your Rainbow Heaven.

Tori Lentz

Little Miss Meesha,
I'm so sorry you are not with us any longer. I still blame myself for what happened and think about you often.
I still find myself looking for you every morning when I wake up. I miss your sweet little face. I hope you are always fed and always warm. I can't wait until the day we meet again. I miss and love you.

Kimberly K

Our beloved baby girl, we will miss you forever. You will always be in our hearts and memories. You were so full of life until that cancer took you away so quickly...1 1/2 weeks since we found out! Our pain and tears will never stop...you were only 5 years old, way too young. Know that we love you and will never, ever forget all the happiness you brought to us.
Love for ever and eternity,
Heather and Sheri

Meezer Ruger is with you and the Angel Kitties now.
We love you and miss you.
Mommy & Daddy

My baby.
No idea how to cope without you.
Miss you so much but know you're well again now.
