Year 2007 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "Q".

You were abandoned and wild but we trapped you on a cold winter night.
You were our little "wild child" and you lived in a cage for several months.
Even when the door was opened you stayed inside.
You were so fearful and you were just a little shadow hiding in our house.
But that changed with time and you became so silly and fun to be with.
Your mom played with you on the bed every night and you would jump and run and dive into the pillows.
You gave us so much joy.
You suffered through three bladder infections that eventually proved to be a large tumor.
We had to let you go to the Rainbow Bridge even before your third birthday.
We shed tears now but we know that someday we will once again play with you and kiss your silly face.
Thank you for loving us and being such a sweet little girl.

Lee & Anna

Thank you, Q, for teaching us about heart dogs!

Christine Armstrong

I will miss you Q more than anything.
The way you smiled and always were happy.
Every little thing about you will be missed.
Q-Ball you were my best friend and one day we will be together again.

Ryan Kelly

She came into my life when I was living in Milwaukee, Wisc.
I visited the Humane Society and she was the only cat that came to the cage bars and talked to me. This was in 1987.
When my brother-in-law came to take me back to MN., she slept the entire 850 miles!
In May 20001 at her regular vet checkup, the doctor found a tumor the size of an egg outside her lungs. The vet suggested she be put down since she was in a lot of discomfort.
I was holding her as she purred herself to the Rainbrow Bridge.
I named her Q.D. because she was a real cutie!!

David Handford

The memories, so painful yet wonderful.
My time is not yet done here my friend.
I will hold you again one day.
Until then, take care of my grandparents and allow your spirit to show me you are still here once in a while.
I miss you with all of my being.
And I love you more than you will ever know.

Scott Hall

It has only been 3 hours since you went to Rainbow Bridge but Mommy and Daddy miss you so much.
we did everything we could possibly do for you little angel.
We love you more than you can ever imagine.
Remember you will alway be in my heart forever.

Audrey and Tony

Please Don’t Mourn For Me

Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colourful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

To our baby Quebee,
It has been several months since we last heard you sing, we for the day when we reunite again.
Love you lots and miss you loads
From Mum and Dad

A precious girl has gone to the bridge.
She was a best friend, loving companion, play partner, protector and perfect in every way.
I can never explain how much joy Cleo has brought to our family and how loved she made everybody feel and how loved she always will be.

Sleep peacefully little girl until we come to you.

The Wright Family

Love Tammy

Queenie's Love Lives on Forever. She was the absolute joy of my life, and taken from me so very suddenly and unexpectedly. I will love her and keep her in my heart forever.

Gail Clover

You are and always will be my sweet Queenie, my Ma Barker!
I hurt without you, although I know that you really are still with me.
At least you are not alone at the Bridge since you are with your fursiblings.
One day, we will be together again.
Until then, my Queenie girl, be good, and do what God desires.
I love you.

Renee Eggers

Queenie, thank you for all the smiles you have given everyone who knew you.
You were so much fun, and although i only knew you for a small part of your life, i truely enjoyed every walk, every lick on the nose, and every night you climbed up in the bed with us.
You were 17 years old, and we are so happy to have been able to have you in our lives.
WE love you, and will never forget you

My dearest Quila,
I have let you go for now but will hold on to our memories from our fifteen years shared, until we meet again. I miss you so much.
Stay happy now, for we will be together again to run and play without pain.
I love you always....
Mommy

You made me laugh, you brought me joy, we rescued you and showed you abundant love and you returned it 10 fold. I will miss you my "child", my friend.
Scoobie surly is showing you "the ropes" by now.
Kisses.

Claudia

I love you, I miss you unbearably, and I can never forget you.
You came to my driveway and found me at about 5 mo. old, 10 years ago.
You were so loving and so wild and out of control.
No owner responded to newspaper ads, posters on telephone poles or your miserable 3 day stay at the pound.
But you became a dog (my dog) that won three obedience trials, became a Therapy Dog, an Assistance Dog, won 1st place in 3 Halloween costume contests, were in 4 calendars, won in a photo contest in "Dog Fancy Magazine", were also in "San Diego Magazine".
Won $2,000.00 in a photo contest for "Sun Pet Toys".

You were attacked 3 times by untrained vicious dogs and you did nothing but avoid.
You were what my neighbor called you, "a Ghandi" Dog.

As a Therapy Dog you preformed some 25 tricks! And made the very young and the very old, Ouuu and Ahhhh!
You won "Best Tricks" contests.

You would wear pants, dresses, wigs, noses, glasses, hold cigars, lips and whatever in your mouth.
And you were a star, we made, sent and even sold greeting cards.

You made friends (or let them make friends with you) a feral cat we named Chloe and fed for seven years.
You let a 5 day old kitten (now my 5 year old cat, Hattie) suckle from you for 3 days for she had such a need to suckle her mother. She loves and misses you very much.

I am so lost without you.
I miss you so terribly much.
But I must take care of myself and you must do what you need to do next, be free and know how much you blessed my life and how much I love you.
I will be okay.
Don't wait for me, I love you too much - I will do this, it is my job.

If you hear me, or you are close, I would love you to let me know.
You will be easy to find, you will always be in my heart.
I love you Quincy Lefemine, Your Amazed and Devoted Mom!

Your family loved you more than you can imagine. Letting you go was next to impossible. May you be whole again and wait for your dear ones when they come to get you at The Rainbow Bridge. Everyones favourite goof. Lots of love Qu-ink-i-dink.....You will be remembered for a lifetime. Kisses and hugs. xoxo

Jason

My best friend is gone and I am devastated. I will never forget you, your smell, the feel of your soft velvety ears. I hope you understand why we made the decision for you today. I hope we were right even though it was so hard. I could not bear to let you suffer any more discomfort and I had to let you go even though I so desparately need you with me here, not at the rainbow bridge. You have slept by my side for 15 years and tonight I will miss you like no other. I dread going to bed alone and I feel a part of me has died and left a huge hole in my heart. I will never forget you. You are the most special little dog who needed me to love him and I did. Thankyou for being a part of my life.

Andrea Calder

Quincy, it seems like yesterday when I first held you, 5 weeks old and beautiful.
Everyday for over 9 years has been a gift, your unconditional love has made me warm and a better father to Izzie.
You taught me patience, laughter and what friendship is truly about.
Your mom and I and Izzie will miss you every day, and I can only hope that one day you and I can play together again.
I love you and miss you so much,
Dad

He was something special and will be forever missed!

Barb and Rich

So long my beautiful friend.
You were the best-the most unique- personable little critter. Mommy loves you baby. Rest in peace my furry child... We will miss you and forever hold you in our hearts.
Love,
Mommy & Daddy

I love you very much Quincy.

My heart hurts today. Quing-Xi (pronounced quing-chee) had to be put to sleep this morning. Her immune system had been attacking itself- no one knew why- and the treatments the vet attempted weren't enough. She was a beautiful dog, and a truly wonderful companion.

I was 19 and home for Xmas break with my girlfriend of the time. We kept pestering my parents- saying they needed another dog since Patsy, my faithful companion since age 5, was fading. My parents laughed and said "No more dogs!" But one night we came home and my parents said, "We were going to go look at some puppies. Want to come?" Joy!

The litter of puppies was almost too much cuteness to bear. They were Doberman-Rottweiler mixes, fat black and brown bundles squirming around happily. My parents had settled on one, but I had already bonded with another. She lay quietly in my arms, staring into my eyes and chuffing contentedly. I brought her to them and said, "You want *this* dog. Really, this one should come home with us." And so she did.

I spent the first few nights staying up with her- making sure her water bottle was warm enough, her bed snuggly enough, stroking her fat belly and kissing her little nose. As she grew older, she loved to nibble on my earlobes and plant big, wet sloppy kisses all over my face. When she got *really* big she would knock me over to do this, despite my protesting that her teeth were too big to nibble anymore!

She "raised" my nephew with the kind of love only a herding dog can provide- nudging him and licking him constantly. Whenever he wasn't around and we'd say "Where's baby Sean?" she'd cock her head and look at us as if to say, "You know perfectly well he isn't here!"

Quing-Xi was a big, beautiful bear of a dog that knew no enemies. A special dog who survived two hip replacements and the loss of her best friend Luigi- my parents Bull Mastiff. Tonight my parents bury her under the cherry tree in their backyard where Patsy, Luigi, and all our other lost companions lay. I hope she is happily romping with them somewhere and finding doggy heaven full of peanut butter treats...

Alexander Pangborn

Oh my little girl I had you from the second day of your life you became part of mine. I am lost with you. I know that Kipp was there to great you along with Keely, Kai and Jasmine.
Barry Heather and the whole pac of pekes where there too. I know that you running and playing and having a ball with your friends while I try to cope with not having you along with Tucker and Creed who wonder where you are.
I didn't think Jaren would miss you but he all ready does with his limited understanding he knows that you are there with orange kitty and white kitty. I know sometimes I was grouchy with you but I truly loved you and you were my baby girl.
We will be together again someday

Marilyn Aurand

My son and I became an official "family" when we adopted Quinn 1 1/2 years ago. She was a part of us the instant we met and will continue on in our hearts until we meet her again. The day she passed away I was sad and angry, that our time with her was so short. Today, I feel blessed I was even given the chance to know and love her. We miss her snoaring, sleeping under the covers, licking our feet, and her sweet eyes. We love you Quinn.

Stacey Ciccarelli and Jackson

Our sweet, fiesty baby-girl

Quita was the twinkle in my life. My little fuzzy kid, and I miss her terribly.I love you Quita baby, and my hope is that you are in a better world, running with the pack through cool fields of grasses, no danger, eating good food, and getting love and affection from good people. I'm grateful for the love I recieved from you for fourteen years, and I'll always love you and I pray to God I will see you again.

Debra Jones

GOODBYE TO 'MY LITTLE MAN' YOUR PASSING WAS SO SUDDEN.
I HATED HAVING TO MAKE 'THAT DREADFUL DECISION' AGAIN TODAY TO LET YOU GO.
I WILL MISS YOU DREADFULLY AS YOU WERE AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST CAT I EVER KNEW.
YOU WERE SO GENTLE WITH THE LOUDEST PURR.
THERE IS A TERRIBLE GAP NOW THAT YOU ARE NOT HERE FOR ME TO CUDDLE AND WAKE UP TO.

Anne

Quixote knew me better than I know myself and loved me better than I love myself.
She was the best friend anyone could ever hope to have.
We all miss her so much. Take care of Tinni Boo and Varda Boo.
We love you Bing!
Love Forever,

Mommy Tiger, Will, Boromir, Faramir, Sapphire, Louis, Bobble, Opal, Cervantes, Kodi, Manwe
