Year 2007 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "R".

This was not a pet, just a rabbit that hopped across the road and ultimately hopped under my car while I was driving on the road.
However, it was still one of God's creatures.
It got dazed and landed in the middle of the road.
I couldn't leave it there, I had a file folder, I slid it under the rabbit, put it in my car and tried to get to a vet to either save it's life or end it's misery.
Rabbit died before I got to the vet.
Please, God, the rabbit didn't deserve to die under my car like this, please take it's pain away and make it whole.

Prayer for the Animals
by Albert Schweitzer

Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends, the animals.
Especially for animals who are suffering; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death.
We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them, we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals, and so to share the blessings of the merciful.

JJ

I miss you like crazy my little one!
I feel so
sad and empty since you've gone.
How could such a small thing fill such big space?
You'll always be in my heart.
Bye bye now Rabbit bye

Sonia and Kris

Rabies was the best pet I've ever had. I hadn't known rats were so affectionate, gentle, and intelligent. She had a wild streak in her...she loved to get herself stuck somewhere like the top shelf of the closet inside an old lampshade. She made me laugh so much! Her last escapade was her greatest. In the middle of the night, she scaled a featureless 4-foot plaster wall and jumped off of a 2 story balcony. She survived the fall, but she either ate something poisonous or had a heart attack. I found her the next day, right after she died. I wish I would have realized she was missing a bit sooner; I might have been able to help her live. If she had, I would again have laughed at her nerve.

Lisa Goodin

My beloved Rachel, I will forever see you running and chasing the birds or swimming to chase the ducks!

Your beautiful little body gave out before your beautiful mind.
Your kitties and I will forever miss you.

Angela MacGowan

Radar is truly an unforgettable cat. My son picked him out of a litter 7 years ago and at that moment our family was touched by an angel. His sweet, loving and playful nature will be a part of us forever.
His departure was sudden, unexpected and has left a hole in our hearts.

Austin and Terry Brooks

Radar was our family cat.
He was very soft and fluffy with big cute eyes.
He loved chasing a laser light.
He loved Sadie, the girl cat who lives around the corner.
He was cuddly and sweet and a very good cat.
Our hearts ache and we imagine him in heaven with our loved ones gone before us.

The Hickey Family, Mike, Joni, Jessi, Junie & Hunter

Radio had a big heart & will always be in mine!
He had glaucoma in both eyes and by the time he was 6 or 7 both of his eyes had been removed.
He also suffered from skin allergies throughout his life.
I never gave up hope on him & he never gave up hope on me!
Not being able to see and scratching along with smelling a little didn’t stop him either.
He was my best friend through good times and bad! And always knew when I needed him the most!

I love you Radio & I’m so glad you were in my life!
You gave me the strength to get up in the morning & tackle another hard day!
And you always showed me love in your own special way!
I’ll always miss you terribly!

In memory of my special hairball, "Raffy Birman Fur"

It's been 18 months since I held you and kissed you for the last time. Today your friend Buddy has come to join you at Rainbow Bridge. Look after him til we all meet again. I love you Hairball and miss you so much.

My beloved Rafiki was taken suddenly from me on this day.
I loved him so much, he gave me so much joy and comfort and was there for me when times were tough.

I will never forget you my little fiki sleep tight and keep purring.

See you again one day R.I.P

Love mummy (Ali)

She was a lover and our little hello cat, always there to greet you. No one could ever ask for a better kitty.
We sent her on her way to the Rainbow Bridge to meet Streaker who's been waiting for her.
Now I have two little angels at the bridge.
Thank you Muffyn for sharing your life with us, you touched us deeply, and a little part of you will always be with us.
God speed.

Kathy and Tom Bailey

You were found on the street of a Caribbean Island with your brother and brought to the mainland to live a life with several other furry family members. You were so sweet and patient and had such a wonderful laid back dispostion.
Have fun where you are my big boy, I will see you again one day.

Dena Kessler

Rags was the most handsome of Ragdoll cats, with his brilliantly blue eyes, and his 4 white feet.

We loved those paws right from the start and he seemed to know it was one of his features that we so adored. He often, as a kitten-- and through his whole life,
even in the last 2 weeks, would sit with his gorgeous big white feet crossed in front of him, as if to show them off even more.

He was such a fabulously good boy all. We had never had such a well-behaved cat ever before--nor such a sweet one!

Rags always slept with us-- when he was just a little kitten and we first brought him home, he slept on the pillow above my head. As he grew, he slept further down in the bed, but most times, curled up around my legs somewhere.

As he got elderly and kidney disease made him lose weight, we put a heating pad with towels over it on our bed for him-and also in our den, on a footstool he had claimed as "his spot". It helped him stay warm when his own insulation diminished greatly.

We had turned off the heating pad on the bed when he recently developed bladder cancer and it seemed to make the bleeding worse. We turned the heating pad back on several days ago-- but interestingly, he continued to want to stay warm by still sleeping curled next to me and not on the warmed towels.

We will miss him more than we ever thought we could. Last night, the bed was way too big for the two of us. I know it's going to feel empty for a very long time.

Lynn Radziewicz

We had Rags from the time he was a puppy. He loved to curl up at my feet or in my lap. He followed me through the house as I cleaned and sat at my feet when I prepared dinner. He got sick suddenly and the doctor had to do emergency surgery for a bladder obstruction. He had kidney failure and died. We grieve for the loss of such a young, happy dog. There is always guilt mixed in with the grief, for the times I was impatient with him, or the times he wanted in my lap but I refused because I was dressed to go somewhere. Overcoming this loss will be very hard.

Kathy O'Gorman

Rags was brave and never gave up. He will be in my heart forever...............

Sheila Inman

I miss my special little buddy! I had to let you go because you were so sick but I will miss you forever. I can hardly function without you, right now my world has a big empty hole in it where you are supposed to be.

You were the most cuddly, sweet little guy and you had the most wonderfully expressive eyes. I'll never forget waking up to you laying beside me, the way you would lick my face to wake me up!

I know I'll see you again someday but in the meantime, my world is empty without you. I love you and miss you like crazy, Rags!

Ronna

My best friend.
You have been with me through hell and back. For that I will forever be grateful. We shared the best of times, we shared the worst of times. You were always there for me without question. I needed to be strong today for you and let you go. Your heart to be with me was there, but, your little body failed you. I couldn't fail you too. I had to make that decision to make your end without suffering. I am sorry you had to leave me. We will always be together in our hearts. Go now and play with Lacey without pain. Be happy my love. Thank you for 17 years of friendship. Mommy

You are missed by all!

Margie

We will miss you!

Margie, Bill, and Pepper

Rags was dumped out of a moving car, My dad thought people were littering and went to pick up the trash they tossed out . when he went to pick up a pile of rags ( what he thought was a pile of rags) he realized it was a puppy. That is how she got her name. We took her to the vet . She had some injures we had her shots given and tended to her medical needs and gave her a home. She became my best friend my children's playmate. This dog knew me better then anyone. She knew when I was hurting physically and mentally. She lived a great life with us I had a treated her as if she were one of my kids . It broke my heart when I had to put her down. The pain she was in became too much for and too much for me to watch. She had cancer growths and bladder infections and arthritis from the injury suffered as a puppy. I have her with me now in a beautiful cedar box by my bedside. I miss her and feel so lost without her. When I pass I also will be cremated and her ashes will be placed with mine. MY best friend will be with me always in my heart .

Robin Eidson-Scott

My little bundle of fun - loyal and loving.
No family outing or occasion was complete without you - just 'one of the family', loved and always remembered by us all - a very special dog.

Max Bithell

Tomasz & Frances

On September 10 I lost my dog Raider.
He was my friend a pal for 14 years.

We had a good year with our nightly walks in the park.
A guy whose son was on the kid's football team would always joke "Here comes Mr. Oso."
You see Raider looked like a big bear (oso is "bear" in Spanish).
He was strong up until the last month or so and I knew his "time" was coming.
I am glad for that and also I am glad that he touched my life.
He would look at me and I knew what he wanted.
He love bananas and TraderJoes "PeanutButter" doggie treats.

I'll never forget the time when my youngest son, Nick and Raider had a mudfest right in our backyard.

He was my only real companion for the past 3 years.
I mean, we lived together and I guess after 14 years you just get used to that.

I knew he was passing soon, I was preparing myself for it. Somehow you never are really ready.

I saged him before they took him away.
He was a big Lab mix over 100 lbs.
I pet him and told him that it was ok
that I loved him.
He was a good dog.
He was special.

Elaine

My sweet Kiki, you were so loved by us all. Trinity is gonna miss you coming into her room in the morning and sitting on her head. I'm gonna miss you following me around in the morning when I get up for work. I am so sorry for not taking you to the vet earlier. I love you so much and we will miss you so. You were too young to die and I feel like it's my fault. I'm so sorry you were hurting for so long. We love you and will always miss you.

Tiffany Rodriguez

Words cannot describe the loss we feel of our "big good buddy".
How can you put into words 8 years of unyielding
love,loyalty and devotion?
A big, friendly, happy go lucky "kid" who loved life and enjoyed it to the fullest.
We will never forget you Raider.
Truly, a finer spirit I have never known.
Rest well my old friend.
Until we meet again.

Rob & Kathy McLennan

Rainbow was a much loved free spirit who will be greatly missed by his guardian.

We Love You Baby.

Jim, Carolyn, Lauren & Cameron Duncan

I held you in my arms til you took your last breathe and then I held you longer not wanting to let you go. At times it feels like you are lost waiting for me to find you. You are gone beyond my reach. If only I hadn't taken you to the vet that sentenced you to death. You'd be by my side where you belong. I miss you lil girl

November 8, 2007 - The angels in Heaven are singing as they welcome Raleigh.
Raleigh "Piggy" Johnson, after a long and brave battle, has gone home. He was the best dog ever. He loved swimming, playing fetch, riding in the car, and belly rubs.
He was the purest soul.
Nothing ever bothered Rals.
Happy to see everyone who walked through the door, happier still if you snuck him some treats. He was devoted to his Grandma Liz and Grandpa Bruce. He leaves behind so many hearts that he touched, family and friends.

We take comfort that he knew how much he was loved and that now he is now with Lucy, playing and wrestling to see who gets the ball first. Always and forever, my sweet, sweet Baby Boy.Your loving Aunt Nanny.

HAD RALPH FOR 12 YEARS AND HE WILL BE MISSED

[[ HE WAS A GOOD DOG]]

Richard J

We got Ralph when he was 6 months old.
He was difficult, opinionated, and mischievious throughout his 16 years.
But he was also very handsome.
He was cuddly like a teddy bear.
And he gave us so much love.
He fought for 2 years through 2 different cancers...definitely a little trooper throughout vet visits and medications. And one thing was consistent:
his purr could make any problem seem miles away!
Tragically, Ralph was diagnosed with FIP.
Perhaps his body just couldn't handle anymore.
Perhaps the doctors missed the diagnosis early on.
Whatever the case, in an instant, he was gone.
We will always love him.
Always remember him.
Always wish we could have done more for him.
But mostly, we will always miss our baby, Ralph.

Laura Kub

He was such a sweet boy, and will forever be missed.

Cheryl

Ralphie was a a beautiful and quite remarkable cat, who fought cancer bravely and refused to lie down to it. I loved him with all my heart and am so much richer for having been allowed to love him.

Anne McGregor

This is a tribute to my good friends and neighbor's dog who was a loving friend and family member.
He will be missed by all of us, but will find peace and harmony across the Rainbow Bridge.

Love,

Mary

We miss you Ralph

My Buddy
Lyrics by:
Gus Kahn
Music by:
Walter Donaldson

Life is a book that we study,
Some of its leaves bring a sigh,
There it was written, my buddy,
That we must part, you and I.

Chorus:
Nights are long since you went away,
I think about you all through the day,
My buddy, my buddy, no buddy quite so true.
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand,
Just long to know that you understand,
My buddy, my buddy, your buddy misses you

Buddies through all the gay days,
Buddies when something went wrong;
I wait alone through the gray days,
Missing your smile and your song.

Chorus:
Nights are long since you went away,
I think about you all through the day,
My buddy, my buddy, no buddy quite so true.
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand,
Just long to know that you understand,
My buddy, my buddy, your buddy misses you

Thank you for being my friend, you'll be in my heart forever.
I love you, Buddy.

Bianca Hernandez

My pzuzic!
The smartest and most devoted...

Nancy

For my friend who lost his fight against cancer - I miss you every day and wish you were here for one more walk.
It took me 7 months to write this tribute and still find it hard to say good-bye. I loved the 6 years we had together - you will always hold a special place in my heart.

Gabi

Our tiny baby girl was taken from us today and we are devastated and consumed with guilt. She was hit by a car.We pray that our Stella Blue will find her at the bridge and look after her until we can be with her again and give her kisses. Mumma and Daddy love you Rose, forever and ever.

Cheryl & Joe Pennacchio

I have lost my bestfriend in this world.
May he know how much I adored him and know he will always remain in my heart.
Rammie I hope you are now running with the wind and swimming till you don't want to swim anymore.
My life has been blessed by you.

Leigh Minicucci

Rambo, I was only 8 when I lost you. The first emotional pain I ever felt. I was so happy when you arrived, I'm sorry you were scared of me at first -understandable for what you had been through before coming to us. But I'm proud of your hard work and am delighted the clair voyent told me you are with me, protecting me.
Remembering back to that day, I was looking forward to seeing you when I got home from school, more than usual. I knew something was wrong when the blue car pulled up. You were loved so much which is why I think you were called, you'd achieved so much. We watched the Jungle Book that night and had cheese and potato pie, -I can't watch or eat that anymore 14 years on. My biggest regret was not kissing you before you were laid to rest, back then I just couldn't but would do so a million times over now. I miss you with all my heart and try so hard not to forget anything about you. Love you always, Lise xxxxxxxx

P.S Your place will never be taken, you were my first dog, nothing can change that, I want to give others the chance you had.

Its a funny name for a cat, Rambo.
My mom got him for me and my sister a year after she got divorced from my father.
We didn't want to name him that but the neighbor called him Rambo for some strange reason and soon, we were calling him Rambo too.

I was only 7 when I first got him.
Rambo saw me through very tough times when I was growing up.
I don't remember much from my childhood that didn't have him in it.

Rambo used to love to go outside, no matter how hard we tried to keep him indoors, there just was no stopping him!
He was very sneaky in slipping past us when we would enter or leave the house.

He would love to go and play in the bushes around our house and roll around on the concrete driveway.
He even loved to sit on our neighbors window sill and look inside their house to see what was going on.

He was a very clever cat, he would sit in front of our big front door window and thats when we knew he wanted back in.

We had to move three times, and each time his favorite spot to sleep was whatever chair was in front of the computer.
He didn't mind if we needed to sit down in the chair he was in, he would just move around and onto our laps.
He also loved to sleep in either my sisters room or my room at night.

When he would sleep in my bed he would always sleep on my pillow, and by morning he would have shifted his body throughout the night till he got my head was completely off the pillow and him completely on my pillow.
Even though I would wake up uncomfortable, he would always look so cute sleeping curled up in a ball covering up my whole pillow.

I always called him "my little man" and he was to look after the house when I'm gone.
Coming home now feels so empty with his presence no longer here.
I got him when I was 7 and now I'm 25, I miss him dearly, and he is the single biggest loss I have ever experienced.

Rest peacefully my dear Rambo, I will never forget the love you gave me!

Emily Berveiler

We hope Rambo is enjoying all his new friends at Rainbow Bridge.
He has made our lives so much more meaningful and we miss him so much.
Daddy and Mommy cannot wait to see you again!!

Johnna

Rambo was more than a pet, he was my friend.
He touched the lives of all those he encountered and was loved by many.
I relish the 15 years we spent together.
I feel he had a choice, and he choose to spend his life with me.
I hope I get to see him again.

Chris Craig

My bestest friend ever, I feel like I can't breathe with out you!!
You are always with me......

Dani

I adore you rambo.you taught me what true love was all about.My dearest, i'm missing you like mad.Be with me always.I beg of you to please come in my dreams daily.love you kanna.ur mom.

Rambo was my best little buddy and friend. he was my refuse when I didn't know what to do. I'll miss my little buddy but don't know if I can handle another pet due to seeing him pass on. Bye, Rambo...you'll be missed by everyone1

Already three years passed!... The pain has softened a little but I still miss you so much!... I will never forget you and I hope for the day that we meet again...

Rita Simões

Forever in our hearts.

Rambo has been my best friend and companion for almost 15 years.we adopted eachother when he was 8 weeks old.I know he will always be part of me until the day we meet up again and can be together forever with all our other friends. I love you Rambo!

Robert Wilczynski

Rambo was my baby, my son.
I had him nearly 2 years.
He slept in my bed with me every night.
He sat in my lap everytime I worked at my computer. I love him very much and miss him very much.

Hollie Brown

Ramby, I am so lucky to have had you in my life the past seven years.
You were the biggest blessing.
Coming home to you and spending every day with you was the best. Thank you for always being there for me and making me feel better and being my best friend and for taking such good care of us always.
You are such a good boy.
I love and miss you so much.
I am so sorry you had to go and am so sad that you are not here with me everyday.
But I hope you are in a better place now and no longer suffering.
I hope you take care and enjoy Rainbow Bridge-until the day I see you again.
We love and miss you always.

Love,
Mommy Alesha, Daddy Andy, Grammie and all the guys.

Ramona was a wonderful and loving companion, and I was lucky to have her as a part of my family for the last 13 years. I'll never forget the day she arrived at our home as a little puppy. I was so excited and happy to have her. She was with us through many difficult times, as well as many joyous ones.

On June 26th, 2007, we discovered that Ramona had a very aggressive form of oral cancer. She was in excruciating pain and was no longer living the quality of life that she deserved. With heavy hearts, we let her go so that she could finally be at peace. I know that she is in a happier place, where she can be lively and playful once again. My uncle, who gave her to me as a birthday present, died of cancer 9 years ago, and I know in my heart that the two of them are together now as they watch over us. We loved Ramona dearly and she will always be missed.

Stephanie R

Mona was a special lady with a sweet disposition and lots of love to give.
Despite going blind and having diabetes for four years, she never complained - even came and "sat" obediently for her shots twice a day and never once whimpered.
She enjoyed stealing the neighbor's cat food (they didn't mind), going for walks, tent camping, riding in our golfcart, visiting the grandchildren and having them lay all over her checking out her eyes and ears, laying on her pillow at night while we watched TV - sometimes snoring so loud we couldn't hear, and most of all just being loved and petted.

When the time came that she could no longer function with acute kidney failure, we sadly gave her up.
We will miss her and cherrish all the wonderful memories that we have and look forward to seeing her at the Rainbow Bridge.

Barbara Keith

My sweet little Ramona. I took you in when you were 2 years old and you brightened up our home.
I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you from the illness that took you. February was the saddest month of my life. I couldn't let you suffer anymore.
I pray that I see you again someday. I love you forever.

Kathy Pendleton

Ramsey,

We loved you so much. You will always be a princess and an angel sent by God.
We'll see you later.
We'll miss you so much.

Papa, Mama, Paolo & Cecilia

Miss you so...pup a wup...

Kate

Princess Randi, I can still see you walking down the hallway with your little ears back and your backside wagging. You were the princess and everyone knew it.
I can still feel you stretched out beside me at night..we miss you so much..Chewy misses you too, his little eyes have been so sad since you were so cruelly taken from us.
You were my litty girl and no one can take your place.
Your niece Rosie joined you and Roady tonight.
Make her welcome.
We miss you litty girl so much..I couldn't even write about it until tonight...You will always be in our hearts.
Mommy, Daddy, Chewy, Peanut and Rusty.

I can't believe you are gone.
Miss your face looking out the window as I drive away in the morning.
Daddy misses you going crazy when he comes home.
You have been with us for only 8 short years.
But you have brought so much joy to our lives. I come home and I don't know what to do with myself. I miss our walks, you drooling while we eat dinner. Nick is going to miss you dressing up for halloween with him this year. I know you are not in pain anymore. Run and be free..You will always be with us...right in our hearts....until we meet again.
We Love you very much

Mommy and Daddy

Randi you were lost when we found you and were such a good little girl and gave our family so much love.
You will forever be remembered and will have a place in our hearts.
You were a very special little sweetheart.
Love you
Kay and Xan

Randy the Puplet was a perfect little sweetheart.
He was always loving, gentle, funny and sweet.
He came into my life when I was 20 years old, and he brought me so much joy during his 15 years.
Today he went to sleep for the last time.
He was surrounded by all who love him when his time came.
I still can't believe that I can't hug him anymore.
He was my best friend.
I love you Randy, and I miss you so much.
I will always remember how you used to sing when Dad played the harmonica, how you used to say "RUM" or "UH-OH" for a cookie and how you used to love to play.
I will also never forget the unconditional love you gave.
I love you, PuppyFace.

Melanie

We love you and miss you, Randy!
You will always be in our hearts!

Jeff, Jennifer, Stephanie and Elizabeth

Ranger, you have only been gone a week and I miss you so much. It is so quiet without you. I hope you know I love you and I hope you are fully restored to your regular self again. I hope you found Magnum at the bridge, I will see you again.

Karlyn Veltri

Ranger chose us as parents 4 years ago.
He joined Klaus, a chow.
He was a very kind hearted friend and loyal companion.
He loved to swim in our pond and chase deer, rabbits, birds, really just about anything.
He simply loved to roam on the open range, here on the farm. He has now joined his friend Klaus at the Rainbow Bridge.
Our hearts are broken but we know that we will be reunited with our beloved companions.
We love you Ranger.

Will and Ann Rine

Ranger,
It's been a week today since you left us. We know that you are in a better place, but your Mom is still hurting so much. Your lives were so much a part of each others. Hopefully soon, the emptiness will be replaced by all those special memories you shared.
Like a special turkey dinner, and superdog at Christmas!
We all miss you.
Love from Aunty Rona

Ranger, I love you and miss you terribly.
I look forward to the day I smile with your memory rather than sobbing and even more so look forward to meeting again at the Rainbow Bridge where we will never be separated again.
Thank you for sharing your life with me little girl, you will always be in my thoughts.
Our house is very lonely without your wagging tail.
Love you always.....Rena

Ranger was the most lovable, understanding friend I have ever had the joy of knowing. he lived the best life a dog could ever be given. he is deeply missed and irreplaceable. his memory will never be lost and the love we shared will never be forgotton.

Sarah

Ranger was only 7 when he passed after having hip surgery. I have loved and lost many dogs over the years and I have grieved every time. I miss them all terribly. However, Ranger and I had an extra special bond that can never be broken. He was and always will be my special boy. I will love him forever. I eagerly await our reunion on the other side, along with all my other dogs.

Ranger is missed by his mom, Roxane, his dad, Marty and his sister, Autumn, along with many others.

This is for our long time friend, neighbor and very special person.
He had his only companion put from misery Sunday 2/18.
He had called us early to help him (he is 82) get Ranger up because he had fallen down and his legs were too weak to let him stand again.
We helped get Ranger into the car and go to the emergency animal clinic.
We received the call telling us that Ranger had been put to rest.
For 12 years we faithfully saw Mr. Egg and Ranger walk 2-3 times a day to the park down the street.
Mr Egg lost his wife 12 years ago.
There is a tree planted in her name at the park, he and Ranger pass it everytime they walk.
We love Mr. Egg and we love Ranger.

I will see you again one day I promise. you are always in my heart. I miss you Noodle. Be a good boy.

Linda Carrozzi

Ranger- you were such a good, loving dog. You were a good friend. So many secrets & joys we shared with you, so many tears we shed on your soft fur, so many hugs we gave you. We will never be able to look at snow without seeing you roll and play in it. We will never be able to look at a tennis ball without remembering how much you loved fetching them. You gave us 16 beautiful years and you will live forever in our memories. Until we see each other again in Heaven, you be a good boy and watch over us always. We love you Ranger!

She was our girl. She was always there, in the kitchen helping, in the bushes, over the bushes, nursing us through our recoveries, giving us two great litters. Maxine you are here with us and missed every day, when we walk into a room, when we walk out of a room.Maxine you took a big piece of each of us with you, and we are waiting for you to cross the bridge with us. You were always there for us and for that we are eternally grateful. You gave us more that we could have imagined. We love you. We miss you. Our little darling. Thank you.

Alan & Skai Wallace

This was a loss of my soul mate and not just my Boxer. I miss him and think about him every day!

Sheila Noren

My Gentle giant. I will miss your smile and welcome home greets. I love you

Valerie

Rascal taught me what it is to live in the moment...

she was, and will always be so precious to me.
She was my "little lamb"...

Nancy D

Oh, sure, they tell me you were only a rescue, that I couldn't have gotten attached to you so quickly.
But no one ever told you not to love and need love.
You didn't know me but you came into my lap when I came to feed you, and you purred.
Then you were gone, fighting to the end not to go.
Maybe I didn't have you for very long, but electrons will tell the world that I loved a cat named Rascal.

Sandi

Rascal: You were the sweetest tiny dog we ever loved and you have gone several surgeries and made it through. I know you are happy with no pain and with the first and second Wolfe. I never forget you and always in my heart forever. I love you!

Erich and Joan Kost

Rascal, you were such a sweet angel. I never knew how much fun owning a ferret could be until we got you, then in getting Cassie you were so loving with her. We loved watching the two of you playing with each other and also with the Kitties, I know they miss you too. We have been so happy with having you both and she missed you so bad that she didn't really want to do anything as you were her bestest and most favorite friend and playmate.
We love you and will miss you dearly.
Look for Cassie one day as she will be looking for you.
Take care of each other when the day comes as we love you and miss you terribly and hope that one day you two will be together again.
Sweet dreams our baby boy!

Angie and Ed Walden

Rascal my dear friend,
It has been 3 weeks since you passed on. I know you were suffering, but I wish that you didnt have to go. We all miss you so much! Life isnt nearly as much fun without you. I hope to see you soon in heaven.
Love
Mom

This is to my sweet loving cat, I will always remember his sweetness.

Bethany

The most I can say about Rascal is he was the best friend I ever had.
He truly loved me and I loved him with all my heart.
The pain of his loss is indescribable.
The guilt of having to put him to sleep, essentially betraying my best friend who trusted me completely, is numbing.

I will miss him always.

Laurel A. Haig

I miss my best friend. He traveled with us and is greatly missed

Debbie Matulis

You were the best kitty in the world. We love you!

Jenny

Was He in pain, or will it be mine
I am the one that shortened his time
For he who was only very small
But always acted so very tall

It was a very nice ride to the park
This place he was happy as a lark
Others were there for him to greet
Some came to the fence to meet

He sniffed the air, clean and clear
There were all kinds of walkers near
Time has come, to leave the happy place
Now it was time for me to have a sad face

Another ride to place that I really do fear
He walks proud, as I begin to shed a tear
More of his kind seem to be lurking near
Her hears them as he perks up his ear

When I ask for them to keep, the lady says no
She says he is old, and soon will have to go
He just sits and waits calmly, as papers I fill
For me
my eyes my heart this is no thrill

I pick him and stare into his failing eye’s
It is about God now and no more goodbye’s
My tears are flowing heavily, weak is my will
As he takes his last walk to that heavenly hill.

Dennis McGinn May 8th 2007
Dedicated to our 14 year old Boston Terrier “Rascal”

I shed a tear a day for a Dog that never complained of all the illnesses he had

Dennis

Rascal,

You are the best friend I ever had or will have.
You were the most precious loving one, and my life is not the same without you.
I miss you daily, and know that we will be together again one fine day.

I love you always,
Marc

I'm so sorry I let you down Rascal. I didn't know about this unfortunate fate you had to face. But you were so brave and strong right up to the very end.
You will always be here in my heart and I hope to see you again someday. You were the Best and I mean the Very Best.
After you passed away I saw a cloud in the sky in the shape of you and you kept turning you head to say goodbye. Your spirit will always be here forever, my beloved Airdale Terrier.

Georgeann

Rascal was rescued from the shelter 14 years ago.
He was a faithful companion and friend.
Rascal loved to go for car rides and hang his head out the window.
He liked to go outside and work in the garden, chase bunnies, and bark at the cats.
Rascal loved to go to baseball games where all the kids knew him.
He was a border collie through and through.
Lots of energy, spunk and willing to attack each new day with excitement and vigor.
He is missed terribly and will always be a special part of our lives.

Karen Sue Irons

My sweet, darling little boy!
I miss you so much!
I feel so lost, so empty without you.
We've been together for 13 years and weathered so many storms together.
You were the absolute love of my life; I don't know how I'll be able to go on without you!!
I know you're at peace now and no longer suffering, and that gives me some small comfort.
But I'd do it all over again just to have you by my side.
I love you with all my
heart and am looking forward to the day we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge!

Marie Chanowitz

When I found you, you were a scared little kitten. We brought you into our home with patience and love to help you.
I hope you had some happiness and felt the love I had for you during the short time we had you with us. I will miss your sweet purring. Rest well without pain my little boy.

Gwenn

Thanks for the unconditional love you gave for the last 14 years. You will always be on my mind, and in my heart. Love always

Barry

Rascal was killed while trying to protect me from an attacking dog on Christmas Day 2006. He is my hero and I owe him my life. I love you Rascal.

Steven

rascal and lupe were great feisty little birds who lived life to the fullest being flighted and having the run of the house. all dogs i thought were afraid of them but not so ...to my dispair. all i can do is learn from my mistake and not let it happen again . i will miss my wonderful friends as i am sure he(rascal) was defending his love lupe to the death.such honor not often found in men. i am sorry i let you down and i will look for you at the rainbow bridge until then my friends may the sun be on your face and the wind at your back and may god hold you in the palm of your hand until i come and get you. i love you so very much.

IN LOVING MEMORY

RASCAL…
A DEAR DEVOTED, TRUSTING, LOYAL FRIEND AND BUDDY OF 91 DOG AND 13 HUMAN YEARS!
1/21/1994 - 2/28/2007
YOU AND I COVERED GREAT DISTANCES IN OUR TRAVELS AND YOU LEFT ME WITH SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES.

FOREVER. REST IN PEACE MY “GIRLY GIRL”!

Bob Brill

She was a spunky cat one of a kind. She was very loving and had a way of touching everyones hearts.

Brandie Richins

Rascal I miss you so much.
You always loved me in spite of all my flaws!
You were the best dog ever!

Donna Ryan

I found Rasha in the street I bottle fed her she became my best friend she will be missed

Bianca King

Lisa and Dewey Hicks

He died of kiddny failur. He was 8 months old.He was the best cat ever!He willbe missed and nver forgoten.

Nicole

You brought so much joy to my life & I only hope I brought as much to yours.
I love and miss you my furry pumpkin. You will always be a part of me.
Until we meet again I shall cherish your memory close to my heart.

Jacqueline Alberts

for my darling Rassie, my brave one, your fighting spirit is now at peace. Your fought so hard to get better. Each time you were so sick something in you would just not give in. From the day you chose me to be your fur mum we had a very special bond, and we would talk to one another. Those beautiful expressive green eyes are now closed
You were so dearly loved, you will be missed forever and never forgotten. Sleep peacefully my darling you are now free from pain.

Annette Amos

While you weren't my cat you were the best friend to a good friend of mine.
We all watched as the kidney disease took its toll on your usually strong body.
The past few months we saw you waste away to less than 1/2 your size & watched your human going through hell with it - but he always remained hopeful that he was going to have a little longer with you, he always had your best interests at heart.
I know that this has torn him apart today, saying goodbye - but what can you expect from losing a friend who has been with you through everything for 10 years?
I know he has a long & at times painful journey ahead of him but he has many good people, family & friends to help him through.
I feel silly saying anything to him at the moment because it comes out wrong & clumsy - nothing will stop the tears & the hurt but time.
I hope that you're not missing your human too much & that you're enjoying a lovely big piece of meat (& for once not out of someone's leg!) because I saw you trying to eat last week but you were only doing it as a token effort to please your human.
I promise we'll try to reassure him that he did the very best he could for you & to not feel guilty about anything.
It was an experience knowing you for the last 7 years & I know your household will be a different place without you there. Rest well big grey boy, you'll see Andy again one day.

Shannon

Rat has lived with me throughout so much of my life.
She seemed to always know when I was upset, or when something was wrong.
When I would cry she would climb on my belly and lick my tears.
She never wanted to see me sad and lonely.
Only 2 weeks before she got sick she found her lost feline friend by meowing at the window and licking my face until i woke up and found the other cat outside.
I don't understand how she got sick, or why she had to leave me so soon, but I hope she knows how much I love her and that I'll never find another best friend like her.
I feel awful for the pain that she went through in the end, and I wish I were there when she took her last breath.
I miss her so much.

Mandi Kidd

My dog will have to be put to sleep this afternoon. It was a very hard decision
due to the fact that we love him as if he were our child. He has bitten my sister multiple times and he is agressive about it, we are trying to protect other people. Right now we are going to get him a Breakfast Jack, in honor of a good dog.

We LOVE you Ratchet.

Tanner, Sage, Rhonda, and Adrian

Raven
you were always the one faithful girl.
you
were the best, always playful and gentle,
We miss you so much. you were the old and the wise.

Donna/ Steve

Raven:
I love you and miss you so much.
you were taken from me too soon.
I wish I had gotten you to a specialist earlier; I knew in my heart something was not right.
Instead, I listened to the advice of your regular vet and tried different treatments recommended.
By the time I got you to a specialist, it was too late.
I'm so sorry Raven.
I'll never forgive myself.
You're at peace now and your suffering is over.
All your brothers and sisters miss you, especially Kaboose.
Dinner for me, Leandria and Larry are not the same without you here to beg for table scraps.
Rest in peace baby and say hi to all my other cats who died before you. Get reaquainted with your sister Nightengale and one day we will meet again. I love you.

Natahnya Campbell

You will be missed vey much

Michelle

The most gentle of beings.

Micki

Life was too short for her and she had her share of problems, but she was family member and protected her family. She played with soccer balls and loved to play catch with them. We will meet again, at the rainbow bridge, where I know you will wait for us, then we will be a family again, you were all anyone would want and then some, it won't be same without you.

William Costanza Jr

We had you from almost the day you were born and you played with volley balls and sometimes a basket ball and loved to play catch. You were all anyone could ask for and then some. We will meet again someday, someplace, untill then, you will be with us forever...........mom&dad

I will always miss Raven, for although I have 5 other cats she was my first and my best friend. She always be the 'love of my life'. Although she was the smallest and not oldest we all recognized her as the boss. She was tough, with beautiful eyes and a even sweeter soul

William Burton

Donna Florack

You were a pretty boy. xoxo

Jason

My precious Raymond.
It broke my heart the day you left me.
And even now my tears still fall thinking of you.
I hope you love the garden we created around you.
It is a tribute to a little guy who gave so much love and laughter to everyone who met him.
Even after all this time my little boy, people still talk about your sweetness and how much they too miss you.
I know the day will come when we will be together again little puddy pom but I miss you so very much.
Love is a a wonderful, powerful tool and I feel your love always as I know you feel mine.
It gives me great comfort to know you are waiting for me.
Love
Mom

Ray - Ray....the most amazing cat. He was my loyal, loving, non-judgemental best friend. He loved me so much and always made me feel that way. I miss him. He was a huge part of my life, my daily routine. He loved me unconditionally and I will never forget him. He did not deserve to leave our life so early, but I guess it was in his cards.He will always be my faithful, loyal friend . Until we meet again, Ray-Ray. I miss and love you. xoxo
You are so loved.

Marla Koivisto

Goodbye Baby Boo. You were such a good girl and are sorely missed by all of us. Till we meet again at the bridge.....know we think and speak of you each and every day.

Peter, Jennifer and Lauralee

I never could have imagined that such a little dog could have such a profound influence on my life. She made me laugh, she made me get up on the days when I thought I had nothing to get up for. She had a heart bigger than any I’ve known and loved me with every last part of it. She was with me through grad school, through a painful breakup, through meeting the my husband, she was always there, waiting for me to cuddle with her, to lick my hand, to smoosh her face on my shirt, to take pride of place on my lap. I carried her many times but she carried my heart with her. She will always be there in my heart, firmly lodged. I will miss her more than I can say. Her dad, her sister Lucy, and her brother Moose will too. Sleep well, my muffin.

Daniela Bell

I said my good-byes to my dearest Razzie cat on Saturday.
I gave him the greatest gift of all--a return to the Greatest Caregiver there is.

He was a wonderful sweet-natured cat, who will always hold a special place in my heart.

Amanda Burts

I will see you at the bridge. Go be with Pepper.

Sheila Cook

My beautiful special boy Razor.
I am sorry i tried to give you everything you could want..but unfortuantly i cudnt give you what you needed...It was 2 weeks before your 6th Birthday when i decided to let you cross the bridge due to a disalinged cartlidge that gradually got worse under your vertabre in your sweet little neck..It cudnt be mended sweetie (i only wish it could)..One day this cartlidge would have slipped and landed on your spinal cord causing you to be paralysed on all 4 legs.The day before you crossed the bridge you was in agony because you had got stressed at airplanes and tensed up so much you made your neck worse.Do you remember that day my little prince? Mummy tried to comfort you through your screams of agony in the vets room but only thing that could ease you was a pain killer and sedative.That night when i brought you home i made the choice to let you go free the next day..free from pain,free from fear of moving a certain way incase it caused you agony.
I could have put you on painkillers...let you do all the things the vet said you wasnt allowed to (climb on sofa,play with toys,climb stairs,go for walk and even jump to greet me when i came home) how could Mummy tell you,you could no longer do this? I could have waited and one day probably quite soon your little neck would have popped completely causing you pain 100X worse than the pain you felt the day before you left...you would have been unable to even stand sweetheart.
You to me was too precious for me to allow you this end..that is why i chose to let you go painfree and content in Mummys arms...I think you was ready you looked tired and walked into the vets room where as other times you had to be coaxed in.My last words to you was "send me sign when you get there sweetheart.Thank you for everything.I will always love you"
Leaving the vets that dull rainy day last week..it was cloudy and damp then you told me..i felt a warmth on my arm through my jacket,i turned around and slowley the sun broke through the dark clouds,a warm ray of sun..like gates opening and then what happened next was like something you would see only in a movie..the clouds formed around the rays to the shape of your own sweet greyhound head i know this was you looking down to say thank you..then as slowley as that ray of sun opened my Mum (Your Nanna) Shouted "Run free now Razor baby...go on boy" and the clouds shut behind you ..just like gates.
Thank you my sweet man for sending me this sign..i still have times when i regret making that choice but i cudnt see you in agony like that my baby please understand..you meant too much to me.
I will always miss you...and always love you and i will always have the greyhound shaped pawprint on my heart..Lazer Crystal won many races..Razor won many heart.
Have fun now my little soilder ...until we meet again.
Mummy loves you always..

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

joined his big brother dave...glad they're together now.

Barbara Ryan

Reality, you were such a sweet little girl with so much love to give. You were taken to soon from all those who loved you and i will always carry your love with me. There were so many good times that i will never forget and i have no doubt i will see you again someday. Until then, i send you all my love and prayers.

love kevin

Reba,
You were our special girl...beautiful and so loving. The day we drove to Colorado to get you will be forever in my heart. Captain and Grace miss you almost as much as we do. There will never be another dog as wonderful as you. You were the mother to 29 puppies from 2 litters. Our hearts hurt so much. I hope you know how much we love you! Until the day we are together again...I love you!

Steve and Dawnann

Rest in pease little girl. Forever Love boo dog

Ron and Cherie

You were so sick and I knew there was no chance of you getting better. I will miss you dearly, you were the best pet anyone could have asked for. I will love you forever.

Karen

Everybody Loved Reba,
She was a loving little westie that was so full of life. She had and will always have a very special place in our hearts. Her unconditional love and personality warmed our home and touched the lives of everyone she met. We will miss her so very much. She was the little love of our lives.
We love you Reba,
She was all Terrier!!

Scott and Mary McClain

Our dog Reba will be missed by many.
She was a very loyal companion, would have gave her life to protect us.
She was a Christmas present to me, looked like a little bear.
She loved to dig in the dirt and play with our other dogs who have also pasted away in the last few years.
I keep seeing her just laying in the kitchen but she isnt really there..We love her dearly and will always be in our hearts....

Diane Dodge

Rebel, sweet boy, you gave me the greatest gift of unconditional love.
You were always by my side and I look for your sweet adoring face everywhere I turn.
Your companionship gave me great joy and you will be forever in my heart.
I miss you, Buddy.

Lucy Olson

You were my best mate, always by my side always looking out for me, no matter what you always loved me, when I had noone else in the whole world and felt so alone you sat beside me and comforted me, I miss you so much Rebel stay warm I love you.

Ken McGrath

Rebel you are missed so much sweetheart.
We knew you were tired and we could see it in your eyes.
That is why we loved you enough to let you go.
It was the hardest thing i had ever done. We had a wonderful life together and you knew just how much you were loved.
I know that you are not hurting anymore and that you are running all over the place like you use to before you got so old. I am so happy that we were fortunate enough to have you in our lives for 17 years... Until we meet at "The Rainbow Bridge"... Love mom and dad

I first met Rebel when he was about 18 months old, he had been pillar to post and was not really wanted by any of his previous owners. I took him on and made a promise to him what ever happened I would take care of him. I was alone and had few if any friends no children and a job I hated. My refuge was often drink. Rebel came into my tiny flat and made me realise what a mess I was in. Eventually I stopped drinking because Rebel always looked so scared and afraid of anyone who drank. My life took a turnaround, I changed jobs, I moved on with Rebel by my side. Life was better, if by some peoples standards a bit dull and predictable,but for the first time I was truly happy. Rebel and I had a good 14 years together very rarely parted or alone except when I had a serious illness (my mother took care of him). We both kept each other out of trouble.

Rebel eventually got older and more infirm but he never once showed any signs of being distresed. Regular checks at the vet told me he was getting older and that everyday was a blessing. I was prepared for the ending I hoped that it would be peaceful and painless.It didn't end that way, he was run over by a car. It was quick but horrific. He could not have lived from such injuries. I picked him up off the road I could see the extent of his injuries, I held him in my arms and felt for his heart beat it was a slow but steady beat, I wished for a quick ending, as I walked to the pavement I could feel the heart slowing down it stopped and he died in my arms. I never got the chance that I always took for granted that I would be able to say goodbye with some respect and dignity,his life ended there on a dark Friday night.Please take care of your loved ones.

Rebel you were a much loved and missed companion. Your spirit is all around me.

Sheilagh

Rebel you were my special friend, 2 years gone since you passed on and still we miss you so. no other dog can take your place.
see you at rainbow bridge my friend

Liz Adamson

Rebel is and always was an angel. She loved everyone and only wanted to be loved.
I can't hold her now, but I will always love her.

Lisa

Rebel was a kind and gentle dog. He was the life of our family. He was a 35 lb lap dog and demanded all of your attentetion.He always wanted to be first in everything. We will miss the early morning wake up calls and late nite nudges to go outside. The welcome home bark at the fence and chasing off all the birds in the apple trees.We will miss him and look forward to seeing him again.
All our love and puppy dog kisses,
Mom and Dad

Rebel was a good dog with a kind soul and a twinkle in his eye. He was loyal to his family, loved kids, and disliked those who might do harm to his family.

Angel Fitzpatrick

My beloved Red.
You were always with me through many hard times.
I love and miss you tremendously.
I am so terribly sad without you.
I cannot wait to meet you at the bridge.

Pam

Red,
I'll always love you.
You were loving and beautiful and majestic.

Ginger Sony

For Red
Red is the most beautiful red haired horse you can imagine.
He is a character and full of personality.
My sister, Kristen, and her family including Salsa have enjoyed his earthly presence for ten years and now enjoy his spiritual presence.
He is a blessing and is so loved.

Kathleen For Kristen

Mangy little 'dumpster puppy', waiting so patiently for whoever dumped you to come back and take you home.
You entered our lives almost 11 years ago and I can't imagine you not being a part of our lives.
You've been a complete blessing.
Providing endless love, joy, and fun.
We will always miss you.
Until we meet again, run and play once again with those who were waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge.
Our sweet, brave Red man...

Carolann, Keith, Millie, Buddy, Jeff, & Camille

Curtis Moore

We love you sweet Reddy and miss you more than you
can imagine. You were such an extraordinary boy. You had so many disabilities in the past two years, but just kept going for us!! Now we have to keep going for you, but it is so hard!!! I hope that you are at the Rainbow bridge with your sister and your daddy and that you can see and hear and run and play again. We love you forever! Love, Mommy and Grandmommy

Reese, you lived a short life.
You filled our lives with love.
You are missed.

Paula and Bill

To the "Best dog ever!" You were and always will be my first baby boy. Love you always.

Regina Pearce

What a great dog.
I took you from the country setting to the city and then back to the country.
You taught a 4 month old palomino quarter horse to retrieve...something he still does.
When he brings me that stick, I always think of you.
Such a younster you were at 9yo. Sadly you never saw 10!
Rest in peace sweet Reese.

Sandy Cowles

Reese, you were the best dog that a family could have ever asked for. I hope that as you went, you remembered all of the good times, and I hope that you know how much I love you. You were truly a wonder-dog, and I will never forget you. No dog in the world can ever take your place. Wherever you are, I hope that I'll see you again, and that you'll slobber all over me when you see me.

Heather Chapman

Reese, my loving and faithful friend, you will never be forgotten and will always be with me in my heart and soul.
You were the one person that never questioned me and were by my side no matter what. May you be healthy and happy where you are and I will see you with opens arms when I get there.

I love you Reeses Pieces!

Stephanie

Reesie was a beautiful, warm and loving torty that stole my heart ten years ago, and broke it when she left me on Monday.
She got me through many a lonely winter, when I had nobody else to turn to for affection.
I miss her a lot already!

Rick Williams

Reggi,
Forever here, within my heart
and memory you'll stay!
I'll alway's miss you!
Mom

You were a constant friend to me and you will be greatly missed.
Thank you for always being there, for patiently waiting for me every night.
I will miss seeing you in the window now when I come home.
I did my best to give you as good of a home as I could the two years I had you.
No leash, chain or fence will hold you back now.
You are free to go where you want.
I will see you someday at the bridge my greatly loved friend.
Thank you
Love
Dad

Yesterday we lost a precious little guy.
If we looked every day for the rest of our lives we would not ever find a dog as precious as our Regster.
Such a good boy and so loved by his Mom and Dad.
We will miss him every day of our lives and he will always live in our hearts.
He was funny and sweet and affectionate and we all fell in love with him. We got him from the rescue at almost 10 years old and were blessed to have him for 6 1/2 years....what a gift he was.

Craig and Wendy Olson

My special shelter buddy. Knowing he was home waiting made long days of work with homeless animals a little more bearable. Hoping you have lots of birds to watch, toys to disentigrate and cats to tolerate where ever you are now. I love you, Reggie.

Jesse Magee

To our sweet Reggie, we will remember you always and know that you are now pain-free.
You were a very good dog and special companion.
We miss you but know that it was time and you are much happier now.

Love,
Patsy, Don, Nick and Kersy

Farewell little Friend.
Today you are free.
Today you can run and play again, and feel the sun upon your face.
Today you can smile and be happy.
We miss you so very much.
Your bed is empty and the house is so quiet.
For 16 years you were our friend, our playmate.
You gave unfailing love and adoration, asking only to be cared for and loved in return.
Rest easy until we cross the bridge to join you one again in heavenly joy.
We love you, Reggie.

Carol and Dale

My best friend sorely missed.

Kent Lewis

I miss you, my beautiful angel Reggie

Eileen Edwards

You were such a gentle kind soul.
We pray your happy now and you can see and eat without pain. We will miss you so much.
We will never forget you.
Until we see you again be free and happy. All our love!

The Dudick Family

Reggie was with me for 17 years. He was sweet and wonderful. He died of old age. He was always there in good times and bad,
Jake died 4 hours after Reggie of cancer. He was my life. He watched over me, even when very ill and he watched over my other dogs. He gave me his paw when he was dying. He gave me his devotion and love for 11 years. I miss them both so much.

Ralph Gallo

Reggie was the best furbaby, friend & companion, an owner could wish for.
He brought us much love in the four short years we were blessed with him.
He nurtured us as much as we did him.
He was our angel and will be forever missed until we meet up again on the rainbow bridge.

Dawn Agovino

Reggie you will always be very much Loved and thanks for the Best Years of my LIFE you were a true Friend

Douglas Allen Thomsen

Today I lost my best friend...
Though we vowed to never part.
Now somehow I must go on without him
And I know not where to start.
My baby Roo, I miss you so,
I know it was your turn to leave.
You brought my so much happiness and joy,
But now it's my turn to grieve.
I know we'll meet again someday
Where there is now sorrow or pain.
My love will stretch across the realm,
Till we can be together again.

My Reggie was the sweetest most loving kitty I've ever had the pleasure of sharing my life with.

Ann Buchholz

Our beloved Roxie was like a child to us. She was born 13 months after we got married and was the only child we could really call ours. She was a near perfect pet and always so obedient and loving. Her memory will be with us as long as we live here on this earth.

Phyllis and Ray Moore

Reh was and always will be a big part of my life. She loved as only a dog can, unconditionally. She is deeply missed.

Dorothy Mahan

Reidar was my baby.
We adopted him from the Humane Society and he was never well.
I took special care of my baby and he was my constant companion.
He was always with me, always came when I called him, and loved me as much as I loved him.
He was the light of my life and the 2 and 1/2 years I had him were so happy.
The void his dealth has caused is huge.

Sue Husby

Today I lost my best friend and constant companion. Rieker came to me when he was six weeks old and I had him until he was 15yo and one month old. He was and will always be remebered in my heart. Riekey had neurological damage and was losing the use of his back leg he was in pain. I know I did what was best for him but I still want him here with me. People want to talk to me about it but I am not ready. I miss him so much it hurts. It really hurts how do I go day to day without my buddy. I know he is in a better place but it really doesn't help. I love you Rieker.

John J Harrison Jr

Reilley had a rough life, I was his third home.
He had many issues both physical and emotional. He passed suddenly from a medical issue unrelated to passed thigs.
I cared for him the best I could, I feel terribloe I was not awake with him when he passed.
I love him and my heart is broken.
I hope is in a place where is not afraid, not sick and can find peace.
I miss you.

Cathy Skortz

My boy was diagnosed with a Heart Based Tumor in July of 2007. With great progess at home with 24/7 care, he beat the odds. Each Cardio appt. he was doing better, returning to an active life, we never left one anothers side in 9 years..on the evening of Nov. 18, a mere few days ago, he fell into shock and was rushed to the Hospital that cared for him. I was faced with a horrible decision: to put him down. To look at him, even at that moment, not even the Dr.s could understand how healthy he looked and alert. Yet, that evening they found new cancerous tumors that had ruptured in his spleen and stomach. Though I did not want my boy, my heart pup to suffer...I am suffering in his loss. I can't stop crying..he was so well taken care of all his life. He was like my child..he was most definately a chosen only for me. I miss him so, I fell asleep for only a few hours from exhaustion from the hurt and did so with 3 of his stuffed animals clutched in my arms.

Pat

In Loving Memory of a Beautiful fur baby. We were so happy to have her in our family for the short time she stayed with us. We will love you always.

Robert & Melody Anderson

Rembrandt is very much missed and he was very much loved. I miss my best friend and part of him will be with me in my heart.

We love you Rembrandt.

Mom and Dad

Remy was loved by all who met and knew her. She was a one of a kind dog, always there for Lew no matter how bad things got. She was his little girl; his princess!
Wait for us, Remy, at the Rainbow; we'll be coming for you!
We'll both miss you so much until then...
Love,

Mommy and Daddy

To our King Remington who brought so much to our lives. Taught us so much and had such a personality. He did not like to be held but loved piggy back rides to bed. He was our show bunny-with his regal look and such thick soft fur. He loved brussel sprouts and kale was his favorite veggies. Your brother Colt misses you as we do to. Remington we love you so much and miss you even more.

Michelle Etzel

We lost our Remy to Cancer a month after he was diagnosed.
He was very brave until the end.
We had him at home until he crossed over and he was never any trouble at all - just as he had been his whole life.
We were his third owners - I have no idea why the others gave him up.
We loved him from day one when we got him at age 3.
He was already house trained & very polite.
As mentioned above, Remy was the perfect gentleman up until the end.
We miss him so much, but we know he is close to us in spirit & will be waiting for us when our time comes.
He has a web site:
http://hometown.aol.com/barnholdtj/myhomepage/dog.html
but I have not updated it since he has crossed.
We send our love.

Jan & Vic Barnholdt

She was so little and added great joy to our lives.
Even though we got to enjoy her for such a short period her memory will live on and a part of me will always miss her.

Jennifer Walton

You completed my life, dearest Remmie.
The sadness in my heart will gradually be filled by our sweetest memories, as I begin to heal.
You are with me still, and I will always feel you right next to me. One day, you and I will cross the Rainbow Bridge together.
I smile now as I think of it!
Until then, have fun and feel the joy and freedom given to you now, ...and remember, I love you always.

Penelope Hallas

Hugs to you moosey

Mummy and Daddy xxxxxx

He was a wonderful soul. I have lost so much. He died of a brain tumor. He was my best friend!

Emily Kearney

Remy,
You were the most perfect dog anyone could ever ask for.
You never dreamed of doing anything wrong and were always so well behaved.
Your only bad habit was sneaking onto my bed and curling up on my pillow when I wasn't looking.
When I came into the room you'd just pretend not to see me with the hopes that I wouldn't make you get off.
I still look for that imprint on my bed, but alas it's not there.
I love you!

Lynda Weems

Dear Remy, you were a little boy in a dog's suit. You talked, you smiled, kept time, reminded us when things were not right. You slept with us; your head on our pillow. You were always "top" dog. You loved your Dad's music and special rides in the car and tried to drive. The last day we saw you, we played fetch and tug-of-war, you wrestled with the Westie and you looked like the King of the Road when I took you to the vet. You were the healthiest of the 3 dogs and yet you were the first to go--because of Cancer. We hope you understand that we couldn't let you suffer. We didn't get to say good-bye because we thought you would come home after the surgery. But the Cancer was everywhere and so we let you quietly go to sleep. The house is so quiet and your Mom is so lonely. The Terriers miss you. We thougt we would have at least 5 more years with you. You taught us alot and no one has ever had a dog so human as you. We hope that you have a lot of Greenies in heaven. We want you back so much. We don't think we will ever find another little boy in a dog suit. Remy, Remster, we will forever love you. Mom and Dad.

Rena was loved alot.

Roxanne Louise Elliott

Rena was our second beagle...

Roxanne L Elliott

Rena was my shadow for almost 11 years.
She was my friend, my protector, and a part of my soul.
To say she will be missed doesn't do justice to the emptiness her passing has left in my life and my heart.

Vonda

See you over the bridge one day. Love you.

Trina

Renegade - you were such a precious gift. I knew I had to let you go but I will always hold you in my heart and think of with love.
You were patient, kind, and gentle.
You were a true hound... loyal and stubborn and so much fun. Your beautiful eyes sparkled, your message was always clear.
You radiated love and how lucky I was to have been the beneficiary.

Susan

Renie peacefully passed away on Wednesday afternoon.
She had a long and full life....all
20years spent with her Mom, Anne Marie.

She will be remembered and missed by her Mom and Dad and brother Symba.

We'll never forget you ...

Tinne Van Hooydonck

Reno was a great dog.
He had battled cancer for 4 years, but it was congestive heart failure that finally took him from our family.
We will miss him dearly, as he was my shadow from the day we adopted him from a rescue organization.
When he was younger, I would play a game where I would hide and he would run all over the house to try and find me.
He was also a big fan of his younger brother, Reagan-also a Golden.

Barb and Fred

Reno

I had to put my doggy down today. He was a victim of dog food contamination.

I remember the day I bought him, for $100, from a lady who had advertised “altered blue merle Shetland sheepdog,” in the Mason City Globe Gazette. It was February 5, 2000, and my husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary. In fact, the reason I was looking in the paper for another dog was because my husband had forgotten to get a gift for me. I sort of sprang the “another dog” thing on him while he was feeling guilty.

I lost my heart as soon as I saw the dog. I had meant to be cool and noncommittal, bringing my other sheltie, Foss, along, and objectively observing and analyzing their interaction, as well as assessing the physical, mental, and social attributes of this potential “step brother.”

The two dogs liked each other immediately. I sat on the floor of this lady’s house, and her dog walked right into my arms. I melted right away, and instead of coolly negotiating price, I said right out loud, “Will you take a check?” Little did I know at the time, Reno loved everybody, and was always indiscriminating and demonstrative with his affections. Everyone who met him was charmed by his friendliness, and that included the mailman, the UPS deliveryman, or any stranger walking the street. The only important question I managed to ask the seller on the day of purchase was an enquiry of the dog’s name. “Reno,” she said, and I immediately saw it as a sign. It was our wedding anniversary, and my husband and I were married in Reno, Nevada, in 1972.

I remember carrying the new dog to the car and promising him a good and happy life. He did not believe me, and ran back to the porch of the lady’s house. We were his fourth owners and he was five years old. When I got him home, he cried and wandered around our house. Finally, he lay down. By the time I was fixing dinner, he and I had bonded. He realized right away that I controlled the stove, the pantry, and the great food shrine of a refrigerator that he had learned to worship.

Whenever he had to do his “doggy business,” he would come and stare at me, literally locking his gaze on me until I would say, “Okay, let’s go outside.” And when he performed his task, he always ran to me, joyously and proudly. Someone, somewhere, must have praised him for doing his business when he was a puppy, and he remembered this all of his life. Someone also taught him that it was just dandy to sit under the dining room table while the human members of the pack were eating. In seven years I could not completely break him of this habit. He also enjoyed pawing the rug in the downstairs bathroom, which somehow helped him to be comfortable when he lay down. Replacing that rug became a regular activity for me.

Reno loved to roll, in the grass in the sunshine, and even in the snow when the weather was cold. He enjoyed tasting the snow, too, and pointing his snout toward the breeze when the wind was blowing. He loved to have his back scratched, and when he was happy, he enjoyed shnauzing along the furniture. When he thought I wasn’t looking, he would infrequently rub his hind end on the floor.

He liked sleeping on the floor of our bedroom, or curled up in his doggy bed which I put in my daughter’s room, after she left for college. We used to think that the high point of the day for him was when my husband would announce, “Time for bed,” and Reno would happily climb the stairs.

He was a lazy dog, and did not like to walk much. In the spring and fall, when the weather is nice here, my husband and I would take the dogs for walks. Foss always likes this activity. Reno did not. By the time we would walk a block from home, Reno was already dragging behind. Reno also hated rainstorms, and with the first clap of thunder, was reduced to a shivering and shaking mass of canine flesh and fur.

Reno was a happy, good-natured dog, who lived in the moment. He liked to eat the noodles from chicken noodle soup. He enjoyed begging popcorn when my husband and I would microwave some to eat while watching television. He would chase rabbits when one had the nerve to enter the yard, but when he caught up to them, he would simply stand there, sniffing, and wagging his tail.

I will always love you, my Reno.
And I know that you are rolling in green pastures.

Toranna Wermes

To my beloved dog Reno,

Baby you gave me the most wonderful last 10 years of my life. I will think of you the rest of my life and you will be in my heart forever.
You left me yesterday and I am missing you very much, I know we will meet again some day, I am looking forward for that moment. I love you my dear Reno, you are something special. Mami will love you forever.

Angela Restrepo

To my 120 rescues that I devoted my life to, who died at Rogers Wildlife: may you fly free forever in Heaven, free of pain, free of grief, free of loss. Be forever comfortable, forever healthy, forever strong, forever happy, forever blessed, forever with God. I love you guys forever: from Florentine and Poppy, Glinka and Luigi to beautiful Christine. I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I love you forever.

Cathy Glover

This tribute is to my lovely Retro who I will always love and miss in every way on every day.
I will miss his waiting at the front door with two tennis balls in his mouth; I will miss his spooning with me at night and in the morning; I will miss that floppy ear and goofy look on his face; I will miss him sticking his entire face in his waterbowl to drink; I will miss his love, devotion and loyalty.
I hope that we can find a cure and a reason for Bloat.
It's a horrible way for a dog to lose it's precious life.

Kim

Reuben

So Long Old Friend

I said goodbye to you today
One last breath, you went away.
I kissed your face, I stroked your ears
I couldn’t see for all the tears.

You were always such a very good boy
You made me smile and gave me joy.
Rest well and easy my dear friend
I know your leaving isn’t the end.

You went to heaven and became well
My pain is great, a living hell.
Selfish for me to feel this way
On this your Rainbow Bridge day.

You’re now with Cricket your special pal
You sure have missed that little gal.
Together you will run and play
Until we all meet again one day.

We love you so much and will miss you
every day.

Randy and Elaine Botten

Rex is the best dog there ever was. He is my baby. I was only 8 when I got him. I love him so much and I know he loved me. I could feel his smile and warmth whenever I was near. I still feel him and I know I'll see him again one day. I know God is taking great care of him now.

Jen

You gave us 13 1/2 years of love. We miss you but know you're again running with the horses, swimming in the creeks, chasing ocean waves, zipping through the agility course, and enjoying your savory treats. Rest in peace, Rexy.

Sara Savitt

REX WAS THE BEST, MOST LOVABLE DOG IN THE WORLD'S HISTORY...HE LOVED EVERYONE, ALWAYS HAD A GREAT TIME IN LIFE AND APPRECIATED ANYTHING ANYONE WOULD DO FOR THE LITTLE GUY....MY WORLD IS OVER WITHOUT THE LITTLE MAN...REX, REST IN PEACE, WATCH OVER ME, AND WISH ME LUCK IN LIFE W/O YOU....SOON, YOU'LL HAVE A NEW BROTHER IN LIFE, JUST LIKE YOU...YOU'D LOVE THE NEW PUPPIE, WHO WILL PROBABLY BE NAMED REGGIE...I LOVE YOU,MISS YOU AND WOULD HAVE DIED INSTEAD OF YOU...peace baby...love you rexie....pete....

You were my best friend and companion for 13yrs, will miss you so very much.

Christine Adams

Our boy Rex was the fuzziest grey kitty with white on his chest, under his arms and on his tummy. He had a big round moon face, a wide nose, and big green eyes. He was beautiful. Anyone who met him said he had the sweetest temperament of any kitty they met. He was a bumper, a cuddler, and could jump up at least 5 vertical feet when chasing his mousie toy. We put him to sleep after a year-long battle with adenocarcinoma that ultimately robbed him of his sight and, finally, his ability to enjoy life. His mom and dad and sister Kismet will miss him terribly. His other sister, Bean, is probably chasing him around the bridge at this moment, delighted to see a familiar fuzzy friend after so long. Our dear, sweet boy, we will love you always.

Nancy Carlson & Steve Brissee

To my beloved Rex I am so sorry mommy could not save you this time.
I cry everyday because I miss you so.
I pray you know that I did everything I could and that I love you dearly. I miss you now and will forever, take care my boy.

Michaela Cousins

Rex was a loyal and loving family member. His memory will live in our hears forever.

Maraynne

I miss you buddy!

Nancy

You were the best dog ever!
You are dearly missed!!!!!

Cheryl Fuss

MY SWEET BOY, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME. I HAVE A WALL COVERED WITH PICTURES OF YOU. YOU WERE THE BEST AND SWEETEST LITTLE GUY I HAVE EVER HAD. I SURE DO MISS YOU. YOU WARNED ME WHEN IT WAS NEEDED AND WE KNEW EACH OTHERS THOUGHTS. BLESS YOU REX, I PRAY FOR YOUR SOUL EVERY DAY.

Barbara Ambrosano

Rex, we will always love you.
You have brought us so much joy and unconditional love.
We are missing you deeply, but happy that you are out of pain and in a good place.
Someday, we will meet you at the Rainbow Bridge!

Denise and Ray

Rex the Wonder dog, was practically human, a very handsome boy, and a sweet soul who loved "the ball", the beach, and especially loved to eat - never turned down a meal. he was a real lover who got along with every person, child or animal he ever met. he was very special. he lived the life of a King, ruled his kingdom, played and played, until illness took him down. Yet even in his final hour, he gobbled down steak and eggs, pancakes with syrup and satisfied, he fell asleep in the sun before the vet helped him transition to his final rest. Rex, you were the greatest. I miss everything about you, especially giving you a belly rub and getting a facewash from you in return. Rest in peace my friend. And yes, I'll see you at the bridge some day.

Brian Cresto

You were a great dog! We will always love you!

Cristina Maria

I am going to miss you, you crazy whacky cat!!!

Rhonda Magnotti

To our misunderstood dog...WE understood you.
We will always love you and we will miss you every single day. You were our baby. R.I.P. Rexy

Jessica Fisher

God Bless you, Rex for the love and joy you brought to our family. May you continue to chase potatos, climb mountains & enjoy your time & new friends - until we all meet again on the bridge.
We love you Rexxy !!!

Clifford, Erin, Dakota & Caleb McArthur

Rex words cannot explain how much we miss and love you.You have not been forgotten or ever will be..

Rexi, you were a constant beam of sunshine in our lives, with your smiling face and loving disposition. We miss you and will never forget the happiness that you brought in to our lives.
We love you and will forever keep you with us.

Beth Wheeler and Katie Nixon

Rexi was such a sweet and loving girl.
Even through all her strugles her personality never changed. She was the cutest dog on earth.

Kim Reimund + Judy Giersch

My most precious love you brought so much love and joy to me and I will miss you.

Eileen

Rhea was a good dog.and a good hunter.she was very protective of our family.

Roxanne Louise Elliott

Picked out at age 4 weeks, this special boy was a very important part of our lives.
He came to live with us at age 10 weeks and for the rest of

Mom

We adopted Richie from an animal shelter about two months ago.
He was approximately 1 year old and I immediately took to him as much as my 7 year old daughter did.
We have a 3 year old schnoodle and wanted to add another family member.
We had Richie neutered and a cherry removed from his eye a couple of weeks ago.
Richie went to work with me every day in that I am self-employed.
He would wait by the door for me when he knew it was time to go.
That dog loved me more than the dog we had for three years.
I let both animals out to pee-pee last night.
I chained Piggy because she always runs wild if she can get loose but Richie always stayed close by the door.
My daughter saw a man walking up our drive way and I just knew... it was Richie.
He didn't have to say a word and I said, the dog?
He said it was bad but Richie was still breathing.
When I got to the end of our driveway the man's wife was standing beside Richie and said he is still breathing... but he
wasn't I knelt down, lifted his little head and kissed him right on the mouth with his little underbite sticking out.
We had a funeral this morning.
I am a florist so I made him a casket spray and another silk arrangement to mark his grave.
I miss him soooo much already.
My daughter woke up this morning calling for him, she had forgotten during the night that he passed away.
Please say a prayer for my daughter and me... we are devestated.
I miss you Richie... you will always be my "King Richard".

Trish Rigg

It is with a sad and heavy heart that I write this.
You all know that instead of human children, we chose to have pets.
Randy and I started our life together with our dog, Layla (isn't that a great dog name?) and our cat, Mr. Cat.
(Hey, he was adopted and we just added the "Mr." to make him feel important.)
Our family quickly expanded to include Ditto who "found" Randy.
She would wait every morning and every night so that she could go with Layla and Randy on their walks.
Randy started feeding her and as thanks, she gave us Lucy and Ricky in June 1989 and Bart in February 1990.
(We then had them all fixed.)

So it is with a broken heart that I tell you that this evening, Oct 17, 2007 at about 8:30 PM at the age of 18 years and 4 months, our baby, Ricky, our beautiful Seal Point Siamese, passed away. As you all know, when Ricky was diagnosed with cancer last year and given a couple of months to live, we decided that at his age - then 17 - that we would let nature take its course.
It did - almost a year later.
He had been ill for a while and it became obvious this morning that he would not make it through the day.
Bart, his brother, and I sat with Ricky on the couch all day and amazingly enough, he ate until the end - which is something cats do not do.
I had to hold his head up to eat, but he still ate.
Then about 8:30 pm, he started howling like he was in pain and with Bart standing by, Randy and I pulled Ricky into our laps and pet him and told him we loved him and it was okay to go.
Once he was in our laps he calmed down and we saw the life leave his eyes.
Bart, ever the protector, sat with Ricky for about an hour while Randy and I tried to pull ourselves together.

Ricky was a beautiful soul with a keen sense of his superiority over his domain.
With his beautiful blue eyes, he was the best looking cat on the planet and knew it.
His innate sense of entitlement allowed him to climb up on Randy's shoulders to nap whenever he wanted.
This same innate sense of entitlement allowed him to jump on our bed and claw at my head and face demanding I lift the covers so that he could crawl under them.
Ricky is the reason I know cats have cheeks.
I walked into the kitchen once only to see his tail sticking out of the sink like a flag because he had his head in the disposal sucking out all the cantaloupe seeds I had just put down there.
He popped right up with cheeks bulging and cantaloupe seeds hanging from his mouth.
He also loved watermelon and avocados.
Ricky was Randy's baby all the way and only mine when he was hungry or sick.
Overall, Ricky was a Daddy's Boy and a sometime Momma's Boy.
In other words, no matter whose lap he was in, he was loved deeply and there will be a hole in our lives that cannot be filled.

Ricky joins his mother, Ditto (March 11, 2006 at 19 years old), his sister Lucy (June 16, 2002 at 13 years old), his adopted brother Mr. Cat (May 18, 1993 at 15 years old) and Ricky's favorite dog, Layla (March 23, 1993 at 16 years old) at Rainbow Bridge.
We love him so and cherish his memory always.
He will be cremated and put on the shelf in the kitchen in a cedar box next to those who are already there to await the three surviving members of his family so that we may all be scattered together.

Now we have Bart, the youngest.
Randy always said he'd be the last survivor.
He's only 17 years and 8 months old.
I pray he understands why his brother is no longer around.

“What about the little black and white one?”
That was the first thing I said when I saw you at the pet store that day.
You were so tiny and scared and when they placed you on the floor in front of me, you laid down with your legs all splayed out.
I picked you up and you nuzzled your face into my neck.
That was it Ricky….
You were mine.

Right from the very start, you were quite a handful…
You were like a toy with its spring wound too tight…
The first thing you did when I brought you into the house was run right into the mirror on the wall.
You kept us up many nights with your crying, screaming and barking.
So much for crate training… Apparently, no one told YOU that dogs were supposed to love their crates.

You were just the cutest puppy I had ever seen, which was lucky for you because you were SO bad!
I just couldn’t stay mad at you because of that adorable face.
You had such a personality.
We were always laughing at the silly things you did.
I’ll never forget you jumping up at the parakeet cage over and over and over trying to get that poor bird.
There are SO many things I will never forget about you, my sweet boy.
How you loved to sleep with me, under the covers, all curled up in a ball.
How you would stand at the closet door and wait for your treat when we came in from a walk.
How you LOVED to ride in the car and go visit Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop and run around in their back yard, then sit on Mom-Mom’s lap while she petted you.
How excited you would get when I would give you a can of dog food as a special treat.
How that tiny little stub of a tail would wag so fast it made your whole back end wiggle.
How when you decided it was time to go to bed, you would come and stare a hole through me.
The times we too took you to the beach and you would just run and run all over.
So many memories…. It just seems unreal that you’re gone now.

I love you so much Ricky….. You were my best friend, my baby, my sunshine.
I miss you so much, I can’t even describe it, but I know you are happy now, up in heaven with Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop.
Goodbye my sweet angel.. Mommy loves you and will miss you forever!

Kim Lahnemann

To our dear son, Ricky-

We knew this day would come, but never thought it would be so soon.
Your mommy and daddy miss you and love you so much.
The house is so empty without you.
You are our light and our heart. You are the most beautiful little angel, and we are so grateful that we were blessed with fifteen wonderful years with you.
We hope that we showed you as much love and brought you as much joy as you did for us, and we hope you understand what an important part of our life you are.
We love you more that any words can say, little one.
Please help us to get through this pain, and please wait for us...

Until we see each other once more,

Your loving mommy & daddy

So Long You Beautiful Little Boy

We were blessed with you for 12 years and you were pappa's best friend, you looked after him and made him so happy but now your gone. You were part of our family and we all miss you.

Rest in peace our beautiful angel

Your always in our hearts

Josephine

Ricky was such a joy to us.
My husband and I rescue Yorkshire Terriers and we were blessed to take in Ricky in 2003 and he was with us for three very enjoyable years.
We always called him our "grumpy old man" he just let you know when you were bothering him with the noises he woudl make.
He loved to be held in my husbands arm while he would go around feeding our fish throughout the house (he weigh only 4 lbs).
When he wanted to sleep he would tuck away under your shirt and sleep for hours if you let him.
We had to make the decision to put him to rest in July it was so hard to do but knew it was best for him. We will always remember our little Ricky.

Janice

Ricky was a pound puppy.
I was told he was 5-6 months, but he was 5-6 years.
He was so special and he flew with my everythere.
We moved up north and he LOVED being in the snow and chasing the deer (for 2 seconds).
I did not give up easy, but he had kidney failure and I helped him with everything I could do.
I have no children and he was it.
I still cry daily and call for him when I get home.
This is very hard, and if someone never had a fur child, they could not understand.
I just want to be able to see him again.

Sandy

Precious Ricky, it broke my heart, when I heard you had passed over to Rainbow Bridge.
I have so many memories of you.
You were so strong.
You allowed us to take you with us from Palms to Thousand Oaks, but, you drew the line at being an "indoor cat"!! You told us clearly, when after a month, you tore down and shredded with your nails, our Do Not Let The Cat Out sign!!!!!!
You were born to be free and you made it clear,
that free wished to remain.
So, sadly we let you go, you disappeared for a few months to make it clear what you thought of our idea, then, you suddenly re-appeared in our life, with a new friend.
You and Freddie continued to call our yard your own.
And you graced us with another four years.
You were adored and loved, even though, you would not let us get close again.
You watched us with a weary eye.... but, we loved you just the same and made sure, you were always taken care of....then, you left us...and we cried.
Now, you are with your precious Lucy, at Rainbow Bridge, playing and romping like old times.
We will forever feel your spirit.
We will forever remember you.
Thank you for teaching us, that sometimes, love means letting go.

Yvonne and Jerry Gillespie

Ricky-man was the best friend I ever had in my whole life.
He was a black and tan Miniature Doberman Pincher.
I was 26 years old, single, no kids when I unexpectly crossed paths with this 4 month old puppy at a friends house.
It was luv at first sight.
13 years have passed and I still never found marriage or children, but Ricky-man has been through all the good and bad times with me.
We been through everything together.
He has taught me so many things important in life, but mostly how to relax and chill out and smell the flowers in this hectic world.
Most of all he was the best protector.
He always stayed on alert and let me know if someone was approaching the house.
We had our rituals and right now it is the hardest thing for me to deal with.
This is my first morning waking up without him nudging me and me asking him "do you wanna go out out?" and his little nub would wag so fast meaning "yes mommy."
Jing-a-ling as I found his harness loaded with ID tags and he was so excited to go out.
When I had to go anywhere, he would be right there looking up at me.
I would ask "Do you wanna go?"
and he would jump, bark, wag his nub, and wait for me to say "alright" and then he would go out the door.
He would wait at the second entrance door until I would say "get down those stairs" and he would playfully rush on down and pee and then meet me at my car.
He always rode shot gun.
He loved to feel the air on his face.
It finally got warmer now and he got a few days of good car rides with the wind blowing on his face.
He played with his squeak toys up until the last hour I made a decision to take him to the vet for a blood test.
He was looking a bit uncomfortable, but I had no idea what was going to happen in the next 1/2 hour.
The Coastal Humane Society donated money so I could get a geriatric workup done on Ricky-man.
It was 4:50 pm on a Friday and the vet closed at 5:00pm.
I told the vets that Ricky was acting "weird" and wimpering a little but I didn't feel like waiting till Monday.
To make a long story short, that was the best decision I made in my life.
Ricky-man has been diabetic for over 3 years, but we were used to that part of life getting a shot 2-3 times a day.
He liked his shots.
He knew it was special.
Of course the shots did not hurt b/c I found the tiniest syringe I could get.

But when I took Ricky-man to the vet on Friday, I had NO IDEA I would be leaving him there.
I had no idea he was so sick.
He ended up having pancreatitis.
They said he would have to have IV fluids to hopefully flush his pancreas and hopefully be okay.
On Saturday when I went to visit with him, his pain was 200x worst.
He walked in that vet with me.
The next day he could not even barely stand or walk.
His labs were getting better.
I would go twice a day over the weekend and we spend hours outside in the sun and he loved the sun.
The vet and everyone thought for sure Ricky-man was coming home with me by Monday or Tuesday.
That was the only thing that held me together and be strong for Ricky-boy.

Sunday night when it was time for me to go at 7:15pm, I noticed he was ancy and very alert.
He did'nt want me to go.
He was hurting and that is what me and the vet tech thought was the problem.
She reassured me that he would rest better if I left b/c he could "see" me (he was about 90% blind) and he kept trying to get up and wanted to be with me.
I told Ricky I would be back.
That is the magic phrase "I'll be back."
Oh man, if only I knew he was dying I would have never left.
I had a feeling he didn't want me to go and that is the part that will haunt me for the rest of my life.
His eyes were big and bright and looking right at me, looking for me since he was blind.
I held his face and kissed him.
I told him to get better.
It felt like forever when I drove home.

The next morning I was there promptly at 9:00am.
I was happy and expecting to see my baby and bringing him outside to the yard and sit in the lawn chair I brought for the whole weekend.
The vet walked in, this was a different one, and she dropped the bomb on me "Ricky died last night."
It took me by surprise big time.
I did not expect that coming.
I was pissed. I asked if that IV drip was the reason because it had issues running when I left.
I asked if his labs were bad.
They didn't know.
They didn't find it necessary to run tests since he passed on.
My heart sunk to the deepest low it has ever felt in my life.

I held him outside in the yard and we were in the sunshine.
I walked him around.
It sounds morbid, but I love this dog more than the world.
I took him by the beach to his favorite spot.
Strange no one was in sight on a beautiful sunny cloudless day.
I put sand on him and let him touch the ocean once more time.
A pod of dolphins were right out there at our spot.
It was amazing.
The wind was blowing his ears like it always did.
His face looked like he knew where he was.
The beach was his favorite place in the world with me.
I let him ride shot gun one last time down the beach road.
When I got home, I realized then how hard it was going to be to let him go.
I could not stop holding him.
I felt like I never ever wanted to let him go away from me again.
Like I said, when I took him to the vet for lab workup, I had no idea he would be hospitalized and the worst ended up happening.
But, he loved being held.
Ironically enough, my boyfriend was home from work really early.
I told him I needed him to help me and that I needed to take Ricky back to the vet for cremation.
God has a strange way of making things work out just so.
I am relieved that God was looking after my angel.

Just the way everything worked out was with love from God above.
God made it possible for Ricky to be evaluated at the last unexpected minute.
God made it possible for Ricky-boy to have sedatives and pain meds.
We live 1 1/2 hour from the vet on the weekend.
So it would have been very hard on him and I if something were to happen.
I had no idea it was gonna get as bad as it did.
It was God looking out for my baby.

The strange thing most of all was late Sunday night, which was like 3:30am I felt the urge to sleep on the floor right where my Ricky slept beside my bed.
I never slept on the floor before.
I just could not sleep and felt comfort on the floor.
Well, the vet seems to beleive that was around the time Ricky passed on.
My friend who is very spiritual told me that Ricky came to me and that he knew I would come to him and lay with him.
That is why he was able to move on peacefully.
I don't feel his spirit which bothers me, but my friend told me that is because Ricky knows I am going to be okay.
But he will check in on me frequently.
I can't wait till he does come and visit.

It's so lonely around here without him.
I am having a very hard time going into his room.
He had his own bedroom.
I can't seem to do anything right now.
I miss him bad.
I truly hope and pray his spirit is happy and free and I hope he knows I gave up my world to make him happy.
I did, too.
I quit travelling and I went without so that I could afford to get him what he needed.
It was hard on me, but I didn't mind because I love him so much.

I feel like I am rambling on.
Like life will never be same.
I know it wont be.
I am going to a pet bereavement meeting to see if that will help any.

I can't believe he is gone.

I could just write about him forever.

I will love you Ricky forever and always.
You are in my life and my heart for eternity.
You will always be the best dog in the world and the most loyal friend with so much love to give.
God knows I will miss you.

Love,
Mommy

Rico was the most wonderful companion who looked just like the Taco Bell dog with a loving and affectionate nature. He was loved by everyone in my family from the time he was adopted at the pound until his last breath. Protective of me because I was his momma, we spent many happy hours together. I could always count on him greeting me with a wagging tail. He was as close to being a living angel as I could ever wish for.

Jeanne Donnelly

My dearest Rico, I am having such a hard time dealing with you not being here. You were there for me through all my moves, through good times and bad. I miss your head laying in my lap when I was upset or hurt. You always had a way of making me laugh when you would twirl around in excitement. I miss playing soccer with you(even though you would always win). Its been almost a week and I know you are playing wild and free up in Rainbow Bridge. I will meet up with later and play like we never missed a beat. I miss you so much and Kahlua misses you too. Sissy doesn't understand what is going on but I try to comfort her as much as I can. Your memorial shadow box is in a special place in the livingroom. Always remember that I love you. You were my best friend and the hole in my heart will never be mended.
Love you boy,
Momma

Riefer baby, you were my best friend all my adult life. You were with me through good times and bad. You'd console me when I was sad and try to comfort me when I was angry. I miss your face and think of you every day since you left this world. I had you longer than momma & daddy and I know they're now watching over you for me. I love you baby, forever.

Lisa Murphy

To my beloved beautiful golden girl, Rielly.....my heart aches more than words can say.
I couldn't let you suffer anymore.
You can run free now but you will ALWAYS be with me.

Karen

We Love you and you will be missed! You are and always will be a great part of our lives even though it was cut off way too early. You will never be forgotten. I can only hope you were as happy as you made us. WE LOVE YOU RIGGS!

Emily & Chris Eddins

Riggs passed on after fighting lymphosarcoma for 5 month.
We did know the end was coming and did not want him to suffer.
And we miss him so much.
Alzbeta

My sweet angel face...you were in my life only 2 years but made such an impact on my life.
I know you are free now but still looking after me.
Life won't be the same with out you.
I count myself lucky to have had you, even for a short time.
I will miss our snuggle time, the car rides, the snoring, even the 'toots' that could clear a room.
I learned alot from you...most of all to trust and 'put it out there' for people to see.
You offered your paw to everyone and won over anyone who took it.
I love you, my sweet girl...always know Momma loves you.

Amy

I miss you more than anyone will ever know!
I love you pookie dog.
You were a one and only and I am left with a huge piece of my heart missing.
That is YOU, sweet angel.
I am sure that you have your sight back now, you are running around and playing again, and I bet you have already ran into my mom, your grandma Kitty.
Keep each other safe..........Wait for me!

Karen Majkich

we will always miss you guys you were the best cats sassy cuddles missy and riley

Taylor

This is for my daughter Nancy, who just lost her dog Riley.

Leanna

A sweetheart and loving pup..Gone too soon.. loved for the short time we knew him.. He is happy at Rainbow bridge waiting to have me hug him again.

Georgeann

I Only Wanted You

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

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

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

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

Riley, our little black coca-poo was a very loyal dog, companion, and protector.
He always gave us his unconditional love and was wonderful until the end.
He was like our first child for 16 1/2 years and we will miss him dearly.
With love & hugs,
Kat :) (& Crew)

You are forever in my heart.
Until we meet again- I love you- Momma

My Dearest Riley,
You were my baby.
I love you so much.
When you got diabetes, I didn't give up on you and you thanked me by staying with me for almost 15 more years.
You survived the diabetes, kidney fialure, seizures and low/high blood sugar, only to have cancer beat you in the end.
I cherish the happiness you brought me all those years and during those last 7 weeks we had.
I knew you'd let me know when the time came.
There is nothing I wouldn't have done for you.
You were independent, stubborn and headstrong.
I loved that you were unlike any other cat.
I miss your howls and your presence in the room.
I miss your fuzzy belly.
Please wait for me at the rainbow bridge.
You are always in my heart.
Love you always,
Julie

You lead the "life of Riley," hence that's what I named you 11 years ago when I picked you up from the shelter.
You are so happy, full of life and so obsessed with tennis balls, a perfect companion to Sundance.
The two of you took a while, but you got along so well.
We loved our walks in the woods and chasing after deer and swimming....
The time passed oh so quickly especially after Sundance died, it was just you and me.
The best of it was we had so much fun together, you loved to walk and to run with me, a match made in heaven.
It was only until recently that things just went down hill... You were 12 and hurting, after those seizures.
I knew you were sick and didn't know how badly till after all those tests.
I'm so sorry we had to let you go... But I know you're not in pain now, you're with Sundance now... My heart is aching and feels so broken and empty with out you here...
I love you so.....

Shannon & Meredith

My dearest Riley, what I lived for, my comfort.
I wish you peace and happiness wherever you may be.
Know that I will always love with you all my heart and will never forget what you broght to my life.
You were the best dog that any owner could have hoped for, and I consider myself lucky.

all my love forever
jules

We will always love and remember our sweet little Riley.
He was an amazing life force, full of personality and love.
He was a very special little guy, whose only flaw was a faulty heart that grew as big physically as it always was spiritually.

Ansley Calhoun and David Bailor

I miss you terribly Riley.
You were such a comfort and joy to me.
I'll see you at Rainbow Bride.

Mom

Riley, I leave on Thursday for the first camp-out of the season.
This will be the first time in nearly three years that you have not been going with me.
You were my RVing Riley, and I miss you so much.
I see you everywhere, my darling boy.

Celeste Vaughters

In memory of our sweet little Riley.

Rilester, you are missed so much and you were loved more than you can imagine.
We know you are with Mittens chasing the bunnies and squirels.
We'll see you again.

Cheryl

We did not have you long enough but we will remember you always.

Peggy Morrow

Riley

Although you were with us only a short time, I loved you so much.

Words cannot express how much I miss you and wish you were still here with me.

I hope you are no longer in pain, and that everyday now is a happy day for you and you can run and play with your friends.

Someday we will be together soon.

I love you my "Hanky Panky" and can't wait to be together with you again someday.

I love you
Momma

When you were born, your master was Sarah, and you were the apple of her eye. She taught how to be loved and trained you. Sarah had to leave you but you never left her heart. Then you went through what no human or animal should go through. From the day i met you I wanted to own you. You taught me the meaning of a "parents Love". I never had a child but you became "mama's boy". you touched my heart so much because you were my first dog. I would take you places, you would lead me forward!! When I would cry you were there nudging me and telling me to stop. You sensed good people and bad. You were the light at the end of a long day!! You were my shadow especially when I got home. You have left this world now but you are with your daddy Maverick!! We miss you and love you!!!! Remember what your last master taught you...
You and Me Hand and Paw Through It All!! I'll see you at the rainbow bridge I Love and Miss you forever!!!!

Karen

This candle is for the only dog I have ever had. You were my light, my life, and my love. I miss you Riley and wish to see you soon. As you may remember, Good night Ri, I love you, always.

Tammy Devlin

Riley was the love of our lives.
The past few days have been unbearable...our home is so empty without his constance presence at our sides (or on our laps...or giving kisses...or any of the sweet ways he showed his love).
I miss the soft sounds of his footfalls, the jingling of his tags, his warm, soft body curled against mine.
It's so difficult to complete the daily routine without him.
I cry every time I blowdry my hair.
Riley loved the warm air shooting across his body, accompanied with the petting and scratching I gave.
Even if he was still sleeping when I started blowdrying, he'd saunter sleepily into the bathroom and sit waiting for his turn.
It hurts so much.
Little dog, we're so very lonely without you.

Kory and Beth McCracken

riley roo,you are so muchly missed i pray you and your sister raven are playing together like you did when you were puppies i love you and miis you love mom

Riley Rose was the dog who loved to be loved. She rarely barked, actually barely made a sound but you knew what she was thinking and feeling. She loved to be petted and have her ears rubbed and you somehow felt better for doing it! Riley loved to be outside walking, or sunning herself on the patio and she LOVED to eat! Our home was at peace when she was there as she was the constant. The greetings at the door, the look when you were leaving. "Watch the house" we would always say and although she would probably let anyone in, you didn't seem to mind. Everyone loved her and that made her so happy! We miss you Riley Rose but we will play again some day! May you be loved by the angels until we get there!

Cathie Davidavage

Dear Riley,

We said goodbye to you five hours ago, but you'd been deaf for two years. You know how much we've always loved you, and how very much we miss you, but we hope you can hear our voices again now that you've regained your hearing. "Riley,our sweet baby, we love you and we will never forget you." Can you hear us now?

You were blind, too, so you couldn't see how much we were crying when you left. If you can see our tears now, don't worry. We'll never stop missing you, but we'll eventually accept the fact that we won't see you until it's time for us to meet and cross the Rainbow Bridge with you.

Tell Risa, Sunny, Daisycat, Buddy and all the other babies who had to leave before you came to us that we still love them, too.(I hope the Bridge is strong enough to hold us all when the time comes for us to cross it together.)

Puppy has been very subdued all day. I think she misses you.

Your daddy is heartbroken. If you can, try to let him know that you're not dead. I KNOW that, but he's not sure.

Now that you can run after rabbits and swim after ducks again, you might actually catch one. If so, please let him/her go.

I love you, my baby.

Love, Mom

Our "black hole of affection" who was so wonderful. We still miss you, Fellah.

Judith & John

I wonder if you ever knew how much I love you. And I think you did and I wanted you to know that I know you love me too. Being without you will always be hard. I'll never forget you, my baby.

Holly & Keith

The sweetest cat, loved attention and loved to cuddle. We miss him dearly.

Valerie Salabor

Today I lost the love of my life.
I will always love you, you were my best friend.

Catriona

We will miss you beautiful blue boy-you were taken so suddenly from us.You will always be my "little man" We love you Rio-you were the sweetest Doberman ever put on this earth.

Until we meet again,

"Ripley crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 6-2-07. I will my miss my sweet boy very much. He would have been 3 years old this year."

His nickname was Ripples.

Ripley was my 2 yr. old tabby male! He was one of my rescued cats. We celebrated his birthday August 24th (2004)

When Ripley was a kitten he was about to be thrown in the trash by some man and a friend of the family caught him and he knew I could take care of the kitty. He was only 3 weeks old.
He was a sweet kitty.
His best furry friend was Wesley.
They would play together, sleep together and would bathe each other.
He will be missed very much!
He is buried beneath our rose bush in our back yard with a hand made wooden cross.

We will always think of you especially during spring when our rose bush blooms.
We love you always and forever.

Roberta Miller

RIPLEY WAS VERY YOUNG BUT HAD A HEART MURMOR AND HAD CONGESTIVE HEART DISEASE. HE WAS DOING WELL ON MEDICATION FOR ALMOST A YEAR.

HE HAD A TALENT NOT ONLY TO CHASE AND RETRIEVE THESE PLASTIC RINGS...HE WOULD CATCH THEM IN MID AIR!!! HE WAS OBSESSED WITH THEM. IF HE HEARD ONE FALL TO THE FLOOR HE WOULD RACE INTO THE ROOM AS FAST AS HE COULD TO PLAY.

I FOUND HIM IN MY BACK YARD WHEN HE WAS VERY TINY AND STILL NEEDED TO BE BOTTLE FED (ALL NIGHT). HE WAS A BEAUTIFUL BLUE GREY AND HAD SUCH A SWEET PERSONALITY. HE WOULD SLEEP WITH ME NOSE TO NOSE AND WOULD COME WHEN YOU WOULD CALL HIS NAME.

HE WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH HIS BROTHER BUDDY A BLACK LAB. THEY WOULD HANG OUT TOGETHER AND BEG FOR FOOD. HE ALSO HAS 2 FELINE SISTERS AND 3 FELINE BROTHERS. HE GOT ALONG WITH EVERYONE..CATS..DOGS & HUMANS.

I AM LOST WITHOUT HIM.

Carrie Kowalik

Ripley- Beloved friend and companion for 10 years. So much personality, so sweet and playful.
I loved and cared for you from the day you were born and hand raised you as a 2 week old pup and nursed you back to heath.
You were worth every minute of it!
I will love you always.

Janie Magdziarz

We will love you always Boopa

Marann Bud Jeanine Michelle

I will Love You Forever.
You were by best friend and protector.
You had abdundant enthusiasm that will never be matched.
I will see you again my Friend.
God Bless You!

Paula Andermatt

Our hearts are heavy and our house is lonely.
We miss your kisses and your companionship.
You were the most incredible dog.
You understood everything; and you always made us smile by just being close by and could make us laugh with your antics. I can still see you in my memories running and jumping.
It is hard to know we will have to miss your beautiful face and your loving welcome every day. We were blessed that you came into our lives and that you chose us to adopt.
We will NEVER forget or stop loving you and look forward to seeing you at the Rainbow Bridge.

The Hamell Family

Rizzo survived cancer for 28 months after he was given 80 days to live.
He was the love of my life.
He was my best friend and constant companion.
He brought so much happiness and smiles into my life.
He was a rescue dog from the pound and the first dog I have ever had.
I miss you Rizzo and I love you!!!
Thank you for being you and for all the joy you gave me.
We will be together soon! Enjoy chasing the deer, doing "wiggleworm", and doing the "baby food" dance!!Big hugs from Mommy!!

Remy, We can't believe you are gone. You brought smiles and love to everyone who knew you. You have left a loving family and many many friends who miss you very very much. You were one in a million and will be sorely missed always.

A Loving Tribute to Rhett

4/02/96-12/04/06

Days go forward yet I can’t help but long for the past,

If only today was yesterday and yesterday the day before last.

Within a short time I donned you “Pea,”

You meant and still mean so much to me.

You quickly assumed residency in my heart,

I lamented the day we would have to part.

Your gentle tapping on my leg, that clockwise dance, those coal black eyes I sorely miss,

No welcome home barking, and no wonderful kiss.

We pretended you were always just two,

Dropped you into the birthday cake and laughed with you.

I am left with only memories to carry me through each day,

I miss seeing you sit up pretty, roll over, and play.

Your Halloween outfits and sweaters are put away,

Such a precious little pumpkin, Santa, cow, batman, and hula dancer-gone for another day.

The songs I sang to you are quieted, my sweet little boy,

Songs of family, love, “foreverness” no longer fill me with joy.

Your cow toys, snake family, and Theo sleep,

I spin out of control, I miss you, I weep.

The time of your departing could not be denied,

When you left, a part of me also died.

A day has not passed without my devoted love.

I am consumed with grief, my little angel dove.

Knowing today will never be yesterday, I am filled with sorrow.

I can only look forward to tomorrow’s tomorrow.

Please listen my sweet little “Pea” when I call out your name,

My arms will be outstretched-always the same.

We’ll dance, sing, kiss, cuddle, and forget about being old,

Eat bananas and Cool Whip, ah... such a party to behold!

Until the time when our today will be forever more,

I promise my everlasting love to you whom I adore.

“Two hearts beat as one,” will fill the air,

And then, we will no longer have a care.

Ricky was truely special.
Abused for the first 2 years of his life, he was taken by the humane society and put up for adoption.
That's when he came into my life.
He didn't bark (we didn't even think he could) and didn't know how to play.
My kids taught him how to play by "showing" him. Everyone who met Ricky loved him.
Then I got sick and he stayed by my side the entire time.
When things got bad, he knew even before I did and "told" me.
He had cataracts, hearing loss, arthritis in his hips and cancerous lesions but still stayed by my side.
Yesterday he went to Rainbow Bridge to wait for me and a piece of my heart is missing until we meet again.

Judy England

Ricky, the tropical paradise where you and your sister, Lucy, lived will never be the same without you.

I see you on the lawn with the palm trees coming to meet me. It was heaven when I'd see you. And heaven it will be again at Rainbow Bridge. I love you, dear Pinkcat.

Cathy

Dear Rico, you were an awesome bunny. You were quite a rebel in a good way). I am truly sorry if I have ever neglected your needs. I am sorry that I couldn't give you more. I wish I could have given you more. You are in a much better place. I hope you enjoy heaven. Rico, I hope you don't miss us too much, my little king of the backyard. I will need to get used to the fact that you won't be here anymore, but I'll try not to be too sad. Good bye for now. You will always remain in my thoughts and in my heart. I will miss your soft fur and your silky ears and the way you used to run and jump in the backyard. You will always be the King of The Backyard.

I rescued you, then you rescued me. You will always be my little boy and my best buddy. I miss you and will look for you when it is my time. I love you-Mommy

A fun loving and faithful Friend.

Riley,

You are missed sooo much.
I loved you with all my heart.

Love, MOM

My beautiful boy - you are my best friend and I will miss you always.

Tara DeVito

My Riley Puppy Dog,
Grandmom misses you so much. I always loved it when you came with Mom to visit Grandpop and I. You came in the door and came right to my bedroom if I was still sleeping.
You licked me and woke me up, and then went running through the house.
I also loved feeding you Rice Krispie Treats.
I would have fed them all to you, but Mom wouldn't let me.
I know I would sneak a couple more when she wasn't looking, just praying you wouldn't get sick.

I have your cow.
Mom gave it to me when she was home for Christmas.
I know you liked playing with it.
You were a wonderful dog, and I know how much you loved your mother, and us too.
I hope you met Grandpop, I know he fell in love with you too.
Yes, we will all be together one day.
We shed many tears thinking about you or looking at your pictures.
We loved you dearly.
Grandmom xoxox

Ringo was lost in a tragic accident on Friday, April 6th, 2007.

He was my first bird and a very special boy.
He loved to sit with me at the computer and at the dinner table, where he got his own special little dish. He loved to play "Peek-A-Boo" under the covers in the bed.
His favorite phrases were, "Good Boy", "What's that?", and "Watcha doin".

I loved him very much and my heart is broken now that he is no longer here with me.
I hope to see him again at the bridge.

Good bye for now my sweet boy.

Mike Pruitt

Ringo was a very faithful and loving dog that will forever be in our hearts.

Jay & Valerie Reynolds

Rio was more than my pet, he was a dear old friend.
He was with me through so many life changes and was always a constant in my life that I grew to count on.
When I moved away from home with my husband who was in the Navy, I always had a friend no matter where we lived, because I had him.
I truly loved him and will miss him dearly.
I feel blessed to have shared part of my life with him.

Angie

My sweet peanut. Mommy misses you. I will always love you. You are in my thoughts every day, and will be for the rest of my life.

Geraldine

Words cannot express how much we miss you, Rio.
You were such a big part of our lives, and you brought us so much joy.
Thank you for loving us so well.
You will live in our hearts until we see you again.
Love, Mommy & Daddy

I entered Ripley's family just when he was being fixed and his claws done.
To say he was unhappy with people is as understatemment, but he warmed up to me with no problems at all and for the next fourteen and a halfyears he's been an angel with a sometimes tilted halo.

Rosie Kombrinck

Two hours ago, we loved you enough to let you be at peace.
You were our heart dog and always so special to us.
We will love you and remember you always, Little Buddy.

Bill & Dawn Kittell

Ripley was a joyful and happy family member.
She saw us through the birth of our daughter, Reilly, and the early years of our marriage.
Always reminding us of the important things.
Along the way she has given us a lifetime full of memories and stories.
We will all miss her dearly.

Scott David Edwards

God put this tiny kitten in our hands for a reason.
You were so honery no one else would have kept you.
You were one in a million.
Smart, playful, honery, downright mean sometimes. 13 years-I thought you would live 20.
Thank you God for letting us share our lives with Rippy.
I know he is in a better place.
My heart hurts so badly-my eyes cannot stay dry.
Till we meet again...........

My beloved Riser, also known as Can OTCH, UKC CDX, Plymrock's High Riser, UDX2, JH, OA, OAJ, OJP, WC, CGC (2/4/1992-7/24/2007) was laid to rest July 24, 2007 at age 15.5.

Just two weeks earlier he was doing what he loved most - retrieving bumpers in the water, leading our pack.

Throughout his life, Riser took me on an incredible journey. Together we did it all...from camp gone to the dogs when he was a puppy to a show career earning high in trial, high combined, a 199 in obedience more than once, nationally ranked in the top 10 obedience Labradors several times, competing in the Gaines Regionals and World Series, earning his JH and agility titles with ease and being awarded the lab for all reasons awards at the Nationals at age 10.

He also had many life threatening cancers and surgeries and taught me how to get through all of it. Riser was a very sweet, gentle good boy who never did a bad thing in his life and had to endure more hardships than anyone ever should have.
He was very strong and very brave and mostly loved me unconditionally.
God rewarded him with a wonderful quality of life in his senior hears, with no hardships in the last 5 years. Riser loved everyone and was especially fond of puppies and chasing snowballs in deep snow. Riser never had any old dog issues and was active until one evening when I knew the time was near. I am blessed that I got to spend all of the next day night with him saying goodbye, it was not long enough and I wanted more, but it was time to let him go. Riser was my best friend, my soul-mate and I miss him terribly. There is a big hole in my heart but I am very lucky to have known him and have him in my life for so long.

Linda & Russ Witkowski

It was a miracle that you came into my life.
A miracle that you survived, you were so tiny! You did, and grew into a big beautiful healthy girl.
All attitude and beauty, and always my baby.
I miss you so very much.
An untimely death, you're so young, you ought to have been able to grow old with me.
At the very least you ought to have been let to die at home, in my arms, where you spent so much of your happy time.
I love you, little kitty girl. My heart is so sore now.

Rita, Rita Pita, Pita Pocket, all these different names we gave you... wacky dog...
You will be forever loves and missed.
Having you put to sleep was the hardest decision we've ever had to make in our lives.
We hope you are happy in the meadow of the rainbow bridge.
We LOVE you with all our beings.
Till we meet again.

Lorraine

Rita,
You lived a happy and long life from the day that you came into out home and became part of our family. You made our life so much happier. We never wanted to believe that you were going to go, but you knew when it was your time. I'm so sorry that you had to get so sick but I am glad that the suffering has ended for you. You had been with us through so much, and we had some of the best memories with you by our side. We all miss you very much and you will always be with us in our hearts!

Maggie and the Family

Ritzy was more than 'just a duck' or 'she was only a duck' as some folks have said.
She was part of the family, she was a friend, she was my baby girl.
The bond we had was amazing, she thought and knew she was human.
Ever see a duck that would climb up a flight of stairs? Or jump up on the couch?
Or ride in the front seat of my car and look out the window.. Or even better ride in a baby backpack on my back without complaint?
Not to mention wear a plastic shopping bag as a diaper when in public or in places where a messy cleanup was not possible?

We went through alot together.. She was there when I needed her and when she needed me..

We learned alot together, such as how she could get eggbound and how frightened we got each time, to how much she really meant at the end.
And the good times of cherry tomatoes, goldfish crackers, and real fishies were treats that we all enjoyed in one form or another..
From car rides to laying out in the backyard, pecking on my computer and being the star on the webcam, to laying and sleeping on my bed next to my pillow when i would doze off during those valued bedroom visits.

Of all the places we went, everyone wanted to say hello and pet the beautiful white duck that was there..

I miss my baby girl and hope to see her again someday.
I have lots of huggs waiting for you..

I miss my Ritzy.

River is gone. I am brokenhearted to say the very, very least. I am staggered. I find myself on my knees, sobbing into the carpet. I hurt like I've never hurt. I miss him like no one ever. He was River. Riverdog. Big Riv. The Big Handsome. The Big Hairy. Handsome Hairy. Mr. Biggs. Sweetface. Sweetpea. Names, merely names. All of them too small to truly describe who he was, and how he lived. Anyone who ever spent any time with River knows what I’m talking about, and how special he was. I feel so lucky, so blessed to have shared his life; and perhaps that is why I hurt so badly, so deeply. My favorite nickname, although I only used it when describing him to others, is “The Mayor”. All he wanted to do was shake hands and kiss babies. He was the greatest ambassador of good will I have ever seen. His calling in this life was to make others feel good. To let every individual he met know they were special, and worthy of love no matter who they were, what they looked like, or what their limitations might be. He was a better person, as a dog, than any person I have ever known, or will know. I’m sorry if that’s sounds bold, but it’s the truth and he earned it. He was a true bringer of love, and he brought it to me in his every moment. I am so thankful he chose me. I feel so fortunate that I was chosen to be his. I know what we experienced together was singular, and not to be experienced ever again. I keep hearing a quote by Kahlil Gibran in my head, and it helps to carry me through:

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

I can say, without a millisecond of hesitation, that River was my Delight. He lived a full and happy life, he changed me, made me a better man. He taught me, he set an example that I will struggle to live up to, but will be better for every day if I just try to do so. He showed me that we are all bigger than our worldly selves. That we are all just brilliant lights of consciousness blazing thru the cosmos. He was my equal, he wore a dog’s coat.

River, you are my best friend. The best Dog ever. My soulbrother. I will think of you everyday, and miss you more. I know in time I will fill this gaping hole in my heart, but never completely, there’s just not enough love in the world without you in it. I will look forward to the place and time we meet again.

"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a River runs through it..."

My dear darling little Lukey will be forever missed & remembered. He was a rarity in the Sheltie world as he was a singing Sheltie...when he thought he was unobserved he would, almost like a wolf, look up & sing his songs: His funny little quirks; like sleeping upside down in front of the fan on a hot summer day as well as crunching away on his bowl of ice cubes.

His loss is felt daily by us & our other dog, Cassandra & our 2 cats, Nicholas & Alexander.

Terri Davis

My doo, I miss and love you with all my heart.
I am so sorry I had to let you go.
I did not want you to suffer anymore.
I hope you are happier and in a better place now.
My life is so empty without you with me, but I will be with you again some day, I promise.
You are always with me and I will always love you. Night night Rizen.
Love your best friend

Thank you, R.J., for being my bestest friend and companion for the last 17 years. Though you are no longer with me, I will never ever forget you. Godspeed, and see you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Clarence Ron White

We love you - that's forever

Randall & Karen

We love you Roarkie, your sweet spirit is forever etched into our hearts.
We will always miss you.
May you rest in peace but happily haunt our dreams.
See you on the other side darling boy.

Kirsten & Richard Lindahl

Today our Robbie died. He was the sweetest, humblest dog I've ever known. He taught me about humility and I always knew that was his reason for being on earth. Last night he looked deeply into my eyes with such a look of love. I'll never forget him. I'll never forget the friendship he gave us. He brought up all our cats. He brought in the cows. He was the gentlest of souls. Robbie Dobbie we'll miss you so much. I'll see you again someday, and until then play happily amongst the other sweet friends. I love you. Mom

Still missed and very much loved

Chris Higham

To our dearest Bobbie,
You gave us the best 12 years of our lives.
You were the best dog ever!
You were truly a member of our family.
We will miss you so much but know we will see you again when Jesus takes us home!
We love you very much,
Caleb, Christine, Emily, Jack, Nona and Chloe

Robin
Our time together was much too short and I keep looking for you every morning when I get up.
You brought a lot of joy to those that met you
and are missed terribly. I love you buddy and you will always be in my heart.

Dewey Fischer

Robo cat was only about 3 weeks from being 19 years old.
He was a very loving and gentle cat.
This is the short poem I wrote about him:

Robo never got mad,
but he found other ways to be bad.
Litterboxes were not his thing,
but he was still my king.

Robo had a special loud berrauh,
I will never forget that meow.
He licked people like a dog would,
I would bring Robo back if I could.

Becky

I miss you so much Rocco. I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you died. Please please know that I love you more than anything and I always will and I can't wait to see and hold you again. I love you.

MY ANGEL,MY ROCK AND MY HEART

Rocco was so full of life, he was a real outdoor cat and so friendly - he'd stroll up to anyone or even into their house for a stroke.
I bought him as a tiny kitten in Spain and when we moved to the UK last year we moved heaven and earth to get all the paperwork to get him here.
And now he's lost his life to a RTA just after his second birthday. Nothing will ever be the same again without his presence. I still look out the window hoping I'll see him come trotting back and that it was all a big mistake. but I know it wasn't. RIP Rocco, my naughty but loving little black kitten.

Angue Taylor

To a wonderful friend,whom i will never forget.Rocco you have taught me so much more then i could have ever taught you. It has been 5 months now since you have gone to a better place and that is what gives me peace in knowing that you are free of your torment and that you have your dignity back and that you are running again without a wheelchair.You will always have a special place in my heart and missing you will never stop

Dotty Farnell

Rocco I want you to know that you ment the world to me and you still do. I will always love you. There will never be a puppy as cute and loving as you were. You were there for me all of the time, im sorry if I was not there for you. I love you with all of my heart.

Cornelius

Miss our Gentle Giant

Michelle, George, Dom & Niki

Rocco, you were the most loving friend and companion anyone could ever have. I miss you so much. Although you can never be replaced, you left me with the knowledge that an animal friend can be such a wonderful source of love, and will become so much a part of one's life. Rest in peace, sweet one.
I know you're with Daddy in Heaven.

Joanne Guinn

Oh my dear sweet boy, it's been almost a year and I'm still not over you, just the mention of your name and I am reduced to tears.
I cry as I write this.
I know that you come to me because I see you in my dreams and I feel your presense around me and in my heart.
I know that you took too much on with me getting sick and I'm so very sorry for that.
I wish that you didn't feel that you had to stay so very strong for me and had to get sick yourself, life is not fair, but I don't have to tell that to you.
I don't know when the pain will lesson, but I hope that some day it will.
Just know that I will love you forever, until we meet up again and we both will be well, thank you for always making me so very proud of owning such a beautiful boy and thank you for always thinking of me first and thank you for always bringing a smile to my heart and my lips each and every time I looked at you.
You were one in a million and I shall never forget you.

Cheryl Ann

Until we meet again.
You are always on our mind and forever in our hearts, our special boxer angel. OXOXOX
MOM AND DAD

My cat was a very special kitty, always there for me when I needed her.
I miss her so much but know that she is no longer in pain and is happy once again.
I love you kitty-girl!!

We're happy for the few young months we were blessed to have with you before you were taken from us last night.
We'll see you again someday, dear sweet kitty! Rocket to the stars for eternity, chase the clouds and remember we love you!

Debra, Bruce, & Family - Malia & David

He was a great little friend, who was always on my heels no matter what I was doing. I think about him everyday and I miss him more than words can say.

Rest in Peace Little Buddy

Lori Martin

Rockey had a way about her that could warm anyone's heart no matter how hard it was.
She had a poise about her that made her stand out from our other felines.
Although she was with us for only a very short time, she showed so much love to us all her life.
Her favorite place to be was right under your chin nuzzled up against your neck, or when she wanted to change positions, she would head over to your left or right side of the neck.
She was given the nickname "Parrot" because of this.
She could purr up a storm.
With just a slight touch to her, she instantly began reving up her motor.
She did have a ferocious side to her with her bite.
I've never felt a kitten bite as hard as she could.
I never did figure out what was the cause of her strong bite.
At times, I would think it was because we may have petted her in a spot she didn't like, maybe she was teething really bad, or maybe she was just a rough player.
She had to be with Matt (her brother) as her wrestling opponent.
Matt had always picked on her since he had always been the stronger and more adventurous one.
When Rockey started to show signs of distress from Matt being so rough with her, I would let her have refuge on me and I would barracaid Matt from getting to her.
She would sometimes hide behind my hair underneath my neck to get away from Matt.
She had a meek personality and her meow was so soft and gentle.
She never rose her voice when she was hungry or was in need of something.
She had a sweet yet crackily meow.

Her sickness took us all by surprize.
She became ill starting right around Thanksgiving.
I started noticing that she wasn't gaining any weight (but not losing any either) but everything else about her was fine.
She would still eat all her food,
play with Matt and had learned to go up and down the stairs (even jumped off the loft into Will's hands - what a daredevil!) and even mastered the litter box after the first time using it.
She was such a loving kitten.
As the days and few weeks after had gone by, I started to become even more concerned about her since she had stopped playing with Matt and preferred to lay on Will or me throughout the whole day.
When it was time to eat, she would show interest in that but as soon as she was through dining, she asked to be right back on our chest.

Last Friday morning, that was when I really knew her health was beyond just a little sick.
She was so weak that she couldn't keep her head up or stand, she wouldn't eat her breakfast, and was breathing so shallow.
Her nostrils had sealed just about shut from her being so dehydrated.
I immedately called Will about her condition and we rushed her to the hospital with the help of our very good friend, Krystal.
The doctor instantly took her in and gave her fluids, antibiotics, vitamins, along with some food that was specially formulated for kittens with struggling nutrition.
They kept her at the vet hospital for around 8 hours and we brought her home in the evening but she wasn't showing much signs of improvement that night.
We were told to give her added fluids (gatorade, corn syrup, canola oil) to help rehydrate her and gave us some prescribed liquid milk and prescribed canned cat food for to build up her nutrition.
We promised to keep them informed of her progress daily since she was so sick.
They had warned us that she may not recover from what ever she was suffering from.
They couldn't pin point why she was sick but did tell us she could have had a congenital defect from birth since her nostrils were on the smaller side making it harder for her to breathe.
With that knowledge, the doctor also said she might have been suffering from pneumonia, kidney failure, or from some parasite or worm.
He had also said that even if she did pull out of this illness she had, he said there was more likely going to be more to come with her immune system being so weak.
He then suggested that we put her to sleep.
We didn't want her to suffer any more than she already had been and it was painful to see her die from a suffocating type of death since she had trouble breathing.
Her breathing was SO shallow that you could hardly tell she was breathing at all.
That's when we made the decision to free her from her sickness and put her down to sleep.

I have never lost an animal in this way and it's so hard to go through this process.
Rockey is a part of our family and we feel the loss of her presence around the house.
It's hard to be home right now with all the things that remind us of her.
I want to cry all the time but I know I have to be strong for everyone else.

Matt hasn't shown any signs of distress from Rockey's death as of yet.
I hope he doesn't take things too hard.
He absolutely loved his little sister.

Julie and Will

Rockey, you meant so much to me and helped me through so many tough times in my life. I wish that you could have stayed with me forever. You were more than just a pet to me but a companion. Your soothing purr, soft fur and ability to make me happy will be with me always, i will never lose you. I can't say it enough, and i know that you know it, but i love you and i wish you were with me right now.
Love, Miranda

We will miss rockey so much there isn't a day that goes that we don't think about him, we catch ourselves calling him or saying his name. He will always be rememberd for his happy memories & growing up as a puppy. We Love You Rockey Mountain Skyes. No more pain or suffering.

Cathy, Kevin, Keara, Kamara Horton

Rocky came to us a foter dog.
We quickly learned that he as a victim of abuse and would require special handling.
He had no social skills and had severe anxiety.
Together, that made him unadoptable.
We decided that he could live with us for as long as he wanted...Despite all the work we had to put into our lives to accommodate Rocky's special needs, I never regret on minute.
That boy was the love of my life and there will be a huge void in my heart for a long time.
But when it came time to let him cross the bridge, he looked at me with love in his eyes and I know he was telling me "thank you and it is OK"

I love you my Stanley!

Roberta Palmer

I loved you from the start.
You stole my heart.
My protector, companion and friend
You were faithful till the end.
Now you are gone and I miss your bark
And there is no one to protect me from the dark.
So, I faithfully wait for your return
and know that all I do is yearn.

You loved me unconditionally, protected me faithfully and provided me with a companionship that lasted a lifetime and beyond.
I will always love you and yearn for the time when we will be together again.

I love you!!!

Love,

Mommy!!!!

To our beloved Cat Rockie,

We loved you in life, and we continue to love you in death. You touched our hearts in such an amazing way, and I promise we will never forget you. You will be in our hearts everyday for the rest of our lives, and we can't wait to meet you at Rainbow Brige, along with your wonderful brother Scrapy, and Mum Zed. We love you all.

Rest in peace, no more suffering my little one.

Love you always

Another Day

Another day of absent smiles,
Another empty room is missing merciful laughter,
Turning minute moments into motionless miles.

Another spring stroll through silent grass,
Another autumn without your watchful crimson eyes,
Another winter veiled with virgin snow.

Yesterday was yesterday,
Today was today,
And tomorrow is just another day.
What’s the difference?
It’s silent without you now.

Vicky Bartlett & Family

In my heart you hold a special place
My dearly beloved forever best friend

i hope you will be waiting for me one day when my time will come to so we can be togather again
sami

Rocky was a great dog.
His passing was a tragic accident and we can only hope he didn't suffer.
In my eyes Rocky lived up to his name, he was a fighter and I believe he stayed that way until his fateful time.
He was definately one of our "sons".
We called him Rock Star occasionally because he loved to howl and would do it on cue!
He knew just the right way to brighten our days and was so playful and full of energy it's hard to believe he was "just a dog."
He will be terribly missed by his older "brother" Captain & his Mom and Dad.
All three of us are patiently awaiting the day we will meet again at Rainbow Bridge.
Rest in peace Rock Star - we love you!

John & Pam

ROCKY WAS A SPECIAL CAT.
WE TOOK HIM IN AS A STRAY AND HE BECAME A LOVING MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY.
HE WAS WITH US FOR 20 YEARS AND WE LOVED HIM SO VERY MUCH.
HE BROUGHT US SO MANY HAPPY MEMORIES AND MADE US SMILE. HE LOVED PEOPLE AND WAS LOVED BY SO MANY.
WE HAD TO LET HIM GO AS HE WAS SICK. IT WAS THE HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER HAD TO DO.
HE IS AT PEACE NOW AND I HOPE HE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER US.
ROCKY WAS OUR ONE AND ONLY AND WE MISS HIM TERRIBLY. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH ROCKY.
REST IN PEACE. WE MISS YOU!!!
LOVE, MOM, DAD & JENNA

Filled our lives with joy. Forever in our Hearts.

Ray, Mary, Scott, Kim & Chris

Rocky was a great dog, with his own personality. We aquired Rocky during a very emotional time. It was my father's sudden & unexpected death. He lived alone In Alabama, us in SC. We were not close, as my parents were divorced early in my life. Rocky was his latest dog, and I swear he knew my father was gone, and the two were just alike. Ate what they wanted, when they wanted, disliked baths, both missing many teeth, and both had suffered horrendous injuries during their lifetimes, which they survived somehow. My dad died in March 2007, then Rocky got sick towards the end of summer, and passed 9-16-07. We had him for just 6 months, and sometimes he and I clashed personalities, and he'd even give me his "evil eye" when he didn't want to do something. Just wanted to say what a great dog he was. I miss him greatly, especially the walks we'd take. He suffered much during his last two days and I hope in animal Heaven he has been riddened of all pain. We love and miss you, Rock'..."Rockabilly" or "Mr. Rockefeller" were some of his nick names. He was a good dog.

Keith & Emma Compton

We had a long and happy road Rocky.
I made a promise that if you were spared in 1991 that I would love and keep you safe, I hope you know that I did just that. I'll miss your big fat belly and the way you followed me everywhere.
I love you Rocky.
My baby boy.
I hope your feeling much better now.

Tracey

We will miss our little boy.
The house seems so empty, as does our hearts.
We'll see you at the bridge, pup.

Marie, Artie, Thomas and Kristen

Rocky was our family member for 12 years.
He was a furry friend, companion and even a doggie nurse when any of us were sick.
Rocky had a good and fun filled life.
He will be greatly missed by all of us.
I hope to see him again someday so we can run and play together.

Nicole Juliano

Rocky was the most beautiful and unique cat we ever knew, His capacity for love was endless, and our love for
him was as big as forever. He truly was an angel in our lives. Rest in peace , rest in love.

Chris, Mary, David, Caroline and Benny Rutherford

Rocky,
You were the best friend anyone could ask for.
WE all love you so much and miss you terribly!
We didn't want to see you in pain anymore so we knew what we had to do.
I wish we could have cured you, but there wasn't a way.
We carry some very special memories of you and we have tons of happy pictures.

I know that we will meet up with you again some day in heaven and until then you take care and have lots of fun with Dixie, Casey, Lucy, Gus, Lance, Chip, and Mandy!
All I can do right now is cry but I know it will get better and whenever I think of you I will smile, I was just so hard to loose you.
I know your soul is peace and you are in heaven watching over us!
WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH ROCKY!
HUGS and KISSES!!!!
Lisa, Stacy, Jon, Cindy.....Your family

Good bye my little baby....
Rest in peace my little sidekick, I love you and swear you'll never be forgotten!!!!!!

I miss you like crazy........... I know you're at a better place now, and I'll see you again up there - please wait for me at the entrance - on the other side of the rainbow bridge!

Melanie

Our Rocky went to the Rainbow Bridge today. He was such a sweet dog, never asking for anything but love. The most low maintenance animal we have ever had. He came to us from our local SPCA, obviously neglected and infected with heartworms.
We of course had him treated and he was always, I feel, greatful for what we had done for him. He was an old soul, quiet and always at the back of the pack. His body just gave out and he looked at me with those sad eyes and let me know he was ready to go.
My heart is broken. He will be sorely missed.
We love you Rocky.

Jim and Stephanie

YOU ARE SO MISSED!!!!

Catherine Mardarello

Rocky was our big yellow love.
He overcame a lot in his life as he was our rescue dog, and then years later battled his cancer to the end.
He was a great friend and will truly be missed.

Kerri and Shervin Oskouei

I don't think I have ever felt this way for an animal before.
Just this morning you were playing and now, this afternoon you are gone. You will be missed so much.
We love you Rock!

Craig, Alison, Jacob and Brooke

Rocky, take care of Monty.
He always looked to you for guidance.
We miss you and love you.
We think of you often.
We have wonderful memories of your time with us.

You were such a good boy!

Love,
Mom, Dad, Becky, and Jeff

Rocky-
Mommy and Daddy love you and mis you so much. Life will never be the same without you baby!!!!

Karri & Michael Nolan

So missed by all, especially by Harriet who is lost without him. You went to heaven with sparkling clean teeth, the one they took out meant you would never come back to us again.

Paula Emmenegger

Rocky was an amazing animal that we rescued from being destroyed by Wisconsin Animal Control nearly 6-1/2 years ago. From that point on, I have loved him immensely and he will be greatly missed. We loved him, found out that he was allergic to commercial brand foods, and found a food that worked with him, played with him, loved him and we are devastated that his disease took over. Rocky had dengenerative myelopathy which is irreversible, no medication is known to help stop the progression or help the symptoms and his hind legs had become bothersome for him to go to the bathroom, walk, run and play as a normal boxer would do. He was my true love :)

Roxanne O'Brien

We will miss our "Rocks"! He was a sweet gentle guinea pig & loved by all. He was one of the few that could sit on my niece's lap & not move! Both of our nieces loved him & will be missed.

He will be missed by his buddies Pepper & Pete. Pepper already senses "his" Rocky is gone. He is only a 6 month old guinea pig but was protective of Rocky!

Goodbye "Rocks" & someday we will all see you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Love,Mommy,Daddy,Pepper,& Pete

My little Rocky. Your life slipped away im my arms. You're not here in my arms anymore. How can I go on without you?
Your'e not here when I come home.
You're not waiting for me to pick you up and cuddle you. You're not here at home any more. My constant shadow. You were always my little guy. I'm so lonely without you.
How can I go on?
My heart is braking. Go and find you're brother Max and run through fields.
Play and be happy.
I'll see you again. You'll always be in my heart. I love you. Mommy will be right back.

Karen, Rocky's Mommy

Rocky, you forever touched our lives and filled our hearts with joy.
You will always be a special part of our family and we will think of you each time we hear a siren (and miss your howl!!).
We know you are in heaven now and Floyd is taking care of you.
We miss you and love you.
Allison and Mom

He was a sweet little baby that was taken way to soon. We loved to cuddle and I know he's taking care of someone else now. He'll be missed by our whole family and his little brother wiggles.
We Love You Rocky Man

Kelly Harris

my sweet angel.. I will see you someday

The Murphys

My angel from heaven, my best friend on earth. May God watch over you, the same way you protected us and our home. I hope you are running through the fields finally without any pain. Remember that you are always with us and one day,we will be together again.
Thank you for your dedication. Please know that you were our baby, our best friend and we would not have given you up for anything.
We love you always and may you be happy.
Until we meet again my dear friend...

Louise and Mike

You are sorly missed and my heart is broken without you. I love you more than words could ever express.

Goodbye my beautiful boy Rocky.
You were so brave throughout your fight to live.
Rosie and I miss you so much.
May you rest in peace little one.
I love you.

Sue Watson (and Rosie)

After six years of battles with diabetes, my little 5lbs kitty, Rocky lost the battle. I did all that I could to give him the best. I'll miss him terribly and I know he's in a place that is free of all pain and suffering that he experience. I love you, Rock Star.

Michelle Stines

Rocky was my constant companion for sixteen years and was the love of my life.
But cancer paid a visit. We tried and tried to fight it but God knew when he grew tired and it was time to rest.
Rocky said good-bye to me and died in his own bed very quickly.
He suffered no pain but he has left unbearable pain behind.
He will never be forgotten and our time will be treasured.
Nonie

We miss you, our sweet baby boy.
May your belly rubbed and your dish full of fish forever.

Kelly and Colleen

Rocky was my Rock and moreso than he was lucky to have come into my life, I was lucky to have had him in mine. A huge part of me has died today and I grieve like I never grieved before. In my life, there has never been much stability and no one I could really depend on to always be there until Rocky joined our family. For 12 years, he was a gift I will forever cherish. He struggled with cancer the last 6 months of his life, but today Rocky, my son and I broken-heartedly decided to let go. He also leaves behind Oma and Opa, who loved him dearly and shared in so much of his joyous being. This house is not the same. I don't know how I am going to come home every day knowing he is not here to greet me at the front door. I miss him more with every hour that passes. I wish there was more I could have done for him for he was amazingly special and truly deserving of the best in life. Rocky, you will be remembered with all the love in the world!!!

Thank you for the opportunity to pay tribute to my beloved pet, best friend and family member!!!

Pamela Lynn Berghauser

I miss you with all of my heart.
I'm sorry that your life had to end, but you will never be forgotten.
Baby and Becky miss you and looked all over for you yesterday.
Becky still hasn't eaten.
I will love you for ever.

Judi Christensen

Even though you where here only 5 years and your passing from illness was unknown to us. You never showed signs of illness "ever the rock ".
Iwill miss my "Ricket, Rocket, Sricket, Spocket, To The Rescue" for as long as I live and I know I will meet you on the other-side. Saw Hi to all of our friends. I wish we had more than 5 years together sweetheart. Love You Always, Untill We Meet Again, Rocky. Love, Pam

I make this tribute to not one, but both of my pups. Rocky and Adriane you will be missed forever . You were the loves of my life, and I think of you everyday. When my time comes, you guys come and get me. We'll walk down the dirt road to the bridge. I can meet your new friends, and we'll wander the heavens forever. I love you guys and miss you terribly. Till we meet again, Daddy

Rocky baby,
we love you so much
don't ever forget that
you will be in our hearts forever!
LOve,
all of us

The Stewart Family

Rocky was such a sweet boy.
He loved to be scooped up as soon as I came home.
He followed Mommy everywhere.
I miss hearing his deep purring when I would rub his eyes and neck. I can still see his face so clearly and it hurts so much to not be able to feel his warmth against my legs at night. I would have done anything for Rocky, anything at all.

I have not been able to sleep alone since he left my side because the void in my heart is so overwhelming.
The waves of sorrow rush over me and I am in such denial of his absense. When will the pain subside...when will we be reunited? I hope that he knew what a joy he was in my life and pray that he is the first thing I see when I arrive in heaven.

I am lost without him and will long for his friendship for years to come.

Mommy loves you Rocky!
I miss you so...

We love & miss you a lot Rocky!
We know that you lived a long & happy life with us, & that you are in a better place now where you are not suffering anymore or are not in pain.
You were a great pet to us & we are so glad that we have your son Rosko to raise & carry on a part of you that was created.
It was hard for all of us to see you die, but we are healing & doing better.
Rosko misses you a lot & was trying to find you for two days.
It is really hard for him not knowing that his daddy will not be coming home anymore for him to play & cuddle with at nights.
One day we will all be able to see you in Heaven when we meet you & Rosko at Rainbow Bridge.
Thanks for being a wonderful pet to us!
We love & miss you Rocky!

Andy, Delena, & Shaelee

My dearest and most beloved Rocky: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having the honor of having you in our lives for almost 18 yrs! You were our best friend-protector and unconditional LOVE always given to my son Sean. You were our Rock! You were the best dog anyone can expect to have... simply the GREATEST! We miss you so very much but we sadly knew it was time to let go for your sake... you were hanging on only for our sakes... we knew that and the hardest day of my life in an emotional level was 1-24-07 when you gently and peacefully passed on! You were simply a blessing and I want to thank you again and let you know that YOU will ALWAYS be in our hearts! Hope to see you someday and I know that you are Sean's little (but the bravest)Guardian Angel :) Sooo many adventures with you, Rocky... IN OUR HEARTS ALWAYS! "Mom" Rose and Sean :)

Rocky was our miracle dog.
He conquered just about anything thrown his way.
He was just too tired to fight one more battle.
We love him and will miss him greatly.

Steve, Kathy, Nathan & Alex

One of the best friends I ever had

James Hemphill

tonite my baby went to the rainbow bridge. he has given me all his love for 15 yrs and has been with me through thick and thin.
I hated the thought of being without my rocky and selfishly wanted to hang on to him. But i asked the Lord to help me decide what to do because i didn't want him to suffer and tonite God answered my prayers and the only solution was to put him out of his misery and let him become painfree.. I know he will be waiting for me on the other side of the rainbow bridge...until then i love you rocky and always will.
your mom,
cindy

For the last few years I knew your time was coming. I tried so hard not to let you go, and today unfortunatly I had to. From the day I first saw those bright blue eyes, it was love. I am so thankful that we had so much time together. We all miss you so much. You lived such a long life, rest in peace my buddy...

Kevin Franzem

Rocky Road was a very, very special dog.
We adopted him from a friend who could no longer keep him because of all the traveling he did in his job.

Rocky was a huge, but slim, Chocolate Lab who was the most gentle dog you could ever meet.

The Monday we decided to adopt Rocky Road my friend stated that wanted to keep him until he was going to leave on another trip on Wednesday.

I (Kathie) came home after being away for the weekend. When I arrived home I found the gate to my yard open.
I went back to close it and found my neighbor lying dead on my patio.
It startled and frightened me greatly.
I called the police and just after they arrived I received a phone call from my mother.
My neice, who was just shy of her 30th birthday had also died.

As you can imagine, this was the most upsetting day of my life.

Then Wednesday came and Rocky Road came to me.

When I would arrive home, Rocky would not allow me to lie around feeling sorry for myself.
He took his big snout and would nudge me and make me get up and move.

We would go for a walk and would sometimes walk more than five miles at a time.

Everyone in the neighborhood knew both Rocky Road and I.
He expected everyone to pet him.

I loved Rocky Road for all he did for me to help me get through this very, very difficult time, and I will never forget him.

I remember how Rocky would come up to me and lay his big head on my lap and look up at me with those beautiful brown eyes.
When you stopped petting him he would lift up his paw as if to say: Hey, don't stop, I'm still sitting here." You just had to keep petting him.

Rocky Road loved to swim and up until a few months ago would swim for more than one hour at a time when we would take him to the doggy swimming pool.
Just throw the toy and Rocky would go and get it and bring it back

Rocky had congestive heart failure, along with several other health problems, and I wanted to nurse him back to health, but that was not going to happen.

I knew it was time for Rocky Road to leave us when he came up to me, sat at my feet, sighed a big sigh, then laid his huge head on my lap and looked sadly into my eyes.

It was the hardest thing we have ever had to do, but Rocky was too tired to stay with us.
We had 10 years of knowing Rocky Road, and 8 1/2 years that he lived with us.

We all loved Rocky Road, but no one more than I did.
I will miss him terribly, but I know he is in a better place, hopefully swimming and retrieving his toy all day long.

We love you and miss you very much Rocky Road.
Thanks for all the love you gave to us.

Kathie & George Krajci

Rocky was a great companion for 15 years.
He will never be fogotten, only fondly remember and truly missed.
He will always be in my heart!

We miss our beloved Rocky!!! Always in our hearts--never forgotten.

George and Sharleen Stewart

Rocky,our loyal gentle companion,you will live in hearts forever.We miss you each and every hour of the day.Be happy and joyful in your new found home Rainbow's Bridge.xoxo

Danuta & Joe & T-Shaw Strebly

Your incredible heart will remain bonded to mine forever.
I believe in my heart we will be with you again one day.
I know you are now free from your pain and the sadness in your eyes has lifted.
May your days playing at Rainbow Bridge be as happy as the days you made ours.
I love you big guy and your family loves you and misses you deeply.
The little girl whom you guarded each night she lay her head on her pillow asks if you are still in pain.
I tell her no because your suffering has ended.
But she thinks your heart hurts as much as hers.
One day she will understand why we had to let you go.
Although she could see how difficult the last days had become for you she is so sad you aren't here to play with, love and sleep next to.
We are so sad but unfailingly grateful to have had you bless our lives.
We love you Rocky and we know you will find us at the Bridge when it is time to meet.

Renee Swanson

All that we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. all that we love deeply becomes a part of us. For things of beauty leave their trace, and memories of all we've shared will treasures time cannot erase. We will miss you Rocky forever
Love Mom and Dad and Kids

Rodeo loved us unconditionally and we loved him right back.Play and wait for me dear friend.

Heather Uplinger

Dearest Rodger,

My heart aches for you. You are missed terribly. Thank you for everything, you were my best friend. I long to rub my face in your fur just one more time, to kiss your face, one more time...I find comfort in knowing that we will be together again. Rest in peace dear friend.
Have fun running and playing again.
You deserve it. Till we meet again...

Joanne Anthony

What a handsome young man you are rodent. Always sitting so proud. Everyone loved you.
You always had to be carrying something around with you. You made us laugh when you dug a hole and buried your items, often leaving yourself short of bones to chew. The dairy queen thing you had going on, made us laugh everyday. The prehistoric sound that came out when you yawned. Sadie loves you. She must wonder where you are right now.
We can't put the pieces together of what happened that night. So many tears are being shed. Dear little Rowdy Rodi, we miss you.

Shalane and Angela Metcalfe

All creatures no matter how small have touched our hearts, our family dearly misses our Guinea Pig Rodney. He was a joy to have, always happy to see us every morning with lettuce and carrots! He was our first Guinea Pig, what a great pet!

We love and miss you, may you be at peace now. Someday we will see you again at "The Rainbow Bridge."

Valerie, Robert and Brandon

My first love as a boy,a true friend, nonjudgemental and always at my side, we will meet at the rainbow bridge

Roger was the best dog anyone could ask for. From the moment we brought him home when he was a puppy to the moment we had to let him go, not a day went by that he was not LOVED!! This is probably the hardest part right now, I am trying to be strong but I am so sad without you. We love and miss you soooo much!!! Mom & Dad

Roger, you were not just our pet but an important member of our family.
You will be missed old boy by all of us.
Don't you be getting into trouble out there.
Be a good boy and know that you are loved.

Your Family

Roger you had so much love to give , the best friend anyone could ever have and you will be sorely missed by your loving family.Thank you so much for the joy you brought into our lives.We will always hold you close in our heart forever until we meet again.Miss you Roger.

George, Lorraine, Kayleigh and Chloe Morrison

Rodger is so missed. His little soft orange-ness will never ever be replaced. He was a true love kitty and I know I will be so hapy to see him again someday.

Deanna Clark Willingham

A gallant man - born in Orego - well traveled.
Final home Las Vegas, Nevada.
He attended prior to his last day a day known as Bark in the Park - where he competed in a look-a-like contest with the woman he loved most, and a smooching contest.
He never loved public displays of affection, therefore, he did not smooch.

My goal in life after meeting him was to be the kind of person he thought I was.
I hope I can.

I loved him and will miss him dearly.

Melinda M. Bulmer

Our loving little girl "Rojiek".
We love you so very much. You touched all of us each in a special way. I (Mommy) will miss our cuddling w/ grandma's afghan, sharing cream cheese & bagels on Sunday, and all the fun times we had together. You brought us so much happiness. You are my everything.
You will always be in our hearts.

I love you Rojiek.

Lauren and Tom

Oh my sweet love...You were my angel on Earth for 12 years and now you'll be my angel in Heaven forever. I will hold you again when I come to collect you at Rainbow Bridge. I will always love you and you will always be the best cat I ever had. I was truly blessed when you came into my life. I miss you and I will see you again when it's my time to cross. Remember, Mama loves you...

Jennifer

My bestfriend.

Rolf passed (although "passed" is the general term for it; recalling the event, it was more like he was "jerked away" rather painfully) on an early Wednesday afternoon in a house full of children and excitement.

Rolf was a big package of lots of fun, energy, enthusiasm for life, loyalty and tons of love.
He had his little quirks of course, such as being a nervous wreck around new animals that were less than half his size, sneaking onto furniture in the middle of the night or while I was away, and even carefully licking the toppings off from unsuspecting friends and family's pizza slices... then pretending he had nothing to do with it when you could have sworn you had more cheese than what was left. Like any much beloved animal friend, Rolf had his favorite tastes for certain kinds of people food; strongly disliking carrots, pickles, etc., but boy did his eyes sparkle when he was offered left over breakfast cereal or milk among many other foods - you know, like cheesy pizza toppings.

Rolf got along wonderfully with children and bravely tolerated all the tail-pulling and body-throwing hugs from toddlers. He was a very good boy... among many other things actually. He was also an entire clean-up crew when it came to spilled foods and drinks, a security officer when it came to protecting our family and other children, an alarm clock when I over-slept, an alarm system when strangers were near the house, the friendliest door-greeter you could ever ask for... he even kept our cat in line by nipping at her when she was doing something he knew she wasn't allowed to - and sometimes when she was minding her her own business, but he would never hurt her, he knew his boundaries.
Most importantly, Rolf was a truly loyal friend whom I loved dearly and will be missing terribly. I can't think of him or our daily activities without watery eyes. But alas, he was an older dog who was about to turn 13 years old December of 2007.

I suppose we were lucky that Rolf was in as good of health as he was for his age.
He only appeared to have minor arthritis in his leg joints that rarely seemed to bother him.
I suppose you could also call it luck that he went so quickly and didn't suffer for many days, weeks or even months before passing like so many older dogs do. For that, I am thankful.

Strangely enough and unlike myself, my daughter hasn't shed a tear over any of this... she cried buckets of tears over her pet fish and parakeet when learning of their deaths, but when witnessing Rolf's and knowing the bad news upon my return from the vet's office, she only looked at me with big sad brown eyes and had this to say: "... can we get a new puppy?"
Those words only made my heart ache more.

Two of my daycare girls thought perhaps they fed Rolf too many goldfish crackers and that must be why he died. Another one thought he must have eaten a bug and that was the cause of his death. Rolf's veterinarian on the other hand had a more realistic outlook, telling me that from the sounds of everything, he most likely suffered a massive heart attack. That of course makes sense... he had a busy morning and must have been exhausted from all of the extra excitement with new children in the house.
So in a sense, as a good friend of mine put it, he was loved to death.

Rolf was a stupendous dog and beloved family member whom lived a very full life straight to the day of his passing... and if you've never had the pleasure of knowing such a dog - he will be missed like you wouldn't believe.

May the birds, squirrels and rabbits that travel our backyard finally breath a sigh of relief.
I just hope they don't become too over weight from the lack of exercise that Rolf was all too happy to provide them with.

Maria Brent

Dearest little man, you brought so much joy into our lives.
Always happy, always glad to see us, you will always be appreciated for the happiness you provided us.
We love you and miss you.

Chris Long

My sweet Bee bee Rollo,

She was my best friend. She was with me during all the good times and bad, during divorce, and marriage, during births, and deaths. Her absence will be missed so enormously by the entire family. Her life mate Rambo will dearly miss Rollies too! God speed until you lick us again!

Kristin Boaz

Rollo was our buddy.
He was born to our Rottweiler Jordan Gretchan, and his dad was our chow/lab mix Jett. Rollo left behind 2 brothers, Dozer and Bull...and a little buddy named Cali who was his sidekick from 4 weeks old until his untimely death. He was the most gentle, sweet natured guy you would ever meet. I still cannot talk much about him, his death was very unexpected and the cause not known.
I will always miss my buddy...he was by my side always, and sometimes I think he still is.

Joy Smith

Rolly, you were such a sweet spirit, always making us laugh.
You knew how to enjoy life, while making everyone around you smile.

You will forever be missed by many, not only your immediate family, but the CCI family and pet therapy community.

We will always love you.

Carol Weldin

I love my girl Rom after a brave battle with a tumor in her throat, psudomonas in her throat and a feeding tube, a true god send for four months.
She came to us after her human, a man died much to young.
She was 16 at the time and we have had her for four years.
From day one she ran the house.
Our once extremely defiant cat who would only allow my husband to adore her, became a ball of pure fur love to me, as we both fed her through her tube mutliple times a day, changed her diaper over the last few weeks, and she became our loving fixture on the couch, with my favorite robe as her blanket.
Do not feel bad for my little cat in the pampers with the feeding tube
tube, she loved, at last, being spoiled rotten.
She never lost her taste for food, just the ability to swallow.
She savored the tiny bites she was able to eat on her own, and she would purr contentedly while being fed through her tube.
she was always the first in the kitchen in the morning too, for a dollap of cream taht she got every day.
She always made an effort to eat.
She passed after a beautiful day on saturday, where she purred, meowed, kneaded her robe, sat in the sun.
Things got difficult for her that night and I help her to breath easier so that she could rest.
She was sleeping so soundly at last that we did not bring her into bed at 4am,as we sometimes did but instead allowed her to stay cozy on the couch with her heating pad.
Three hours later we woke to find that our couragous girl did her best to get to us, for what ever reason.
She died just to the left of my husbands side of the bed, on the floor...passing the towels and random tee shirts that were on the floor.
she wanted to be close to him and I choose to believe that she made this trek so that we would not approach the couch thinking she would still find her warm and cozy
She wanted to nip our expectations in the bud right away...let us know she had left, right away. I never expected her to live this long and often told her it was ok to do if she was unhappy.
She was going on a trip to a tropical spot with us for Christmas and I told her she could come, or if she'd rather cros the bridge and be with her original Human George, it would be fine we would not be angry and we would have her with us always.
Of course the guilty side of me will never recover from not having her with us to die in our arms. How do you recover from this guilt, even when you know you have done so much.
I wrote this to my friend who set up the adoption for us, her fiance was the one who passed and left Rom in our care.

She was coming to Mexico with us for Christmas, but i told her even though i knew she would love Mexico, for it was always warm there, that it was totally ok to go see george and rufy and jt, and we would ALWAYS have her with us.

About 4am we went to bed.
with her on the couch sleeping with the little dog.
Gerrit woke up at 7:30 to go check on her, but she had already made he way into the bedroom and passed away just a couple of feet away from the bed.

You can imagine how sad we are today...but I thought you would want to know.

She was the feistiest cat I have ever known.
She was the strongest cat I ever knew.
She was a cat who would do whatever it took to get your attention, with no regrets...just that look that said "yeah, well, you KNOW what I want, so GIVE it to me". In the end,
for the last couple of months, I got the message from her that no matter who you are, you can turn into pure love.
which is what she did.

Thanks so much for putting your trust in us to be her earthy guardians, until George wanted her back

I wish her much peace and ask for her forgiveness in not being the warm arms to hold her as she passed.
I learned much in the last couple of months, from the cat who I never thought I could bond with, due to her prefrence for men.
What a gift she was with her parade of socks (she stored them in the couch, with the way she would hang, not just 10-but 20 on the dining room table waiting for cream. She did that up to 19 years old. I have never seen anyone like her.
I have never known any cat like her.
I am truly heartbroken and hope that she will pay me a little visit at the bridge when I come too.

Whitney

In loving memory of our beloved Roman who will be missed by our family & live on in our hearts forever until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge.........

Romeo:
You was with us since you were just a puppy.
You brought us so much happiness and joy.
We will truly miss you.

Love You!

Fred & Beverly Levins

We feel very lucky to have had Romeo for almost 14 years. He always put a smile on our face - even when he was in one of his "fresh" moods. He liked playing in the snow, but not the rain, liked hogging up the couch and the bed, and right in the walking path of the house. When anyone ever came to visit, he thought it was to come see him and no one else. He will be missed greatly - and we are thankful to have had him in our life.

Debbie and Paul

YOU WERE SUCH AN IMPORTANT LOVING SPIRIT IN MY LIFE AND ARE MISSED SO VERY MUCH!
YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY SOUL!

Cathy M. Carfagno

God bless you my little buddy. I love you so much and I miss you terribly. I wish you were here, but I'm glad that you are no longer suffering. The time I spent with you was precious. I can't wait to see you again.

Shanna Hamm

Romeo loved everyone, always happy to see people, and comforted me always, especially during chemo treatments.
He was a very special little guy.

Joyce

He was there for me through many traumatic events in my life. He awoke me to the fire that burned down our house, and was waiting for me when I got home from the hospital after being hit by a car. He never complained when we moved from place to place. He rode on my lap as we drove 2600 miles to his new, and final, place to live. I will always love him...

Cheryl Holly

Romeo, our best friend and protector. He loved to be around his family and chase anything that ran or flew.

One week before Christmas 2006 he was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes. We cherish the 4 months we had with him until his passing. His last couple of days were hard. We struggled on putting him down, but when he could no longer get up we decided that it was the humane thing to do even though it would kill us. While making arrangements at the Pet Cemetery we got the call that he had protected us, one last time, from having to choose when to end his life.

All of our hearts have had a chunk ripped out that can only be replaced when we all meet again at the gates of Heaven. We know, he will be there waiting on us.

Rick, Elsa, Kelsa and Juliet Lunsford

We miss you Romers.
You were the best dog that I have ever had.
I keep thinking that you are going to jump on the bed and cuddle with me before I have to get up or fly into the kitchen everytime you hear the fridge open!
I hope you knew that mommy and daddy were with you while you were dying.
We love you so much and hope that you are able to run and play peacefully now.

Sarah and Brian

When I went looking for you at the shelter, you were the one who shouted, "Picke me! Pick me!" How could I resist such a spunky little kittyboy? You healed my heart with your silly kitten antics. You gave me a reason to come home at night, and joy and laughter always. I will miss you forever, Romie-toes. I hope you will be able to forgive me for not knowing you were in your time of passing. Not being there for you, and having a chance to say goodbye to you, my little old man. Rest in peace in God's heaven, sweet Boo.
I'll see you again someday and we can snuggle forever. Love, Mom.

Your spirit was too free for this world.
We all miss you and we are so thankful to have had the brief time that we had together.
You were so wonderful with the children and made Nanook revisit his puppyhood.
You were a true and trusting friend who could always make me smile.
Thank You for allowing us to be your humans!

Amy Rhodes

If ever a dog went to heaven it was Romeo.
He loved everbody and had the most precious smile.
He was like a child to our family and will be forever in our hearts.
We miss him beyond words.
Rest in peace Romeo, and thank you for bringing such joy to all who knew you.

Charles & Connie Beasley

Romeo, you were only in my care for such a very short time, but I fell in love instantly and you will remain forever in my heart. Please wait for me, beautiful angel.

Brita Yaksich

Romey - Adpoted in West Palm, passed in Nantucket.
White fluffy rasta Romey!!! I know you had a great life with your runs on the beach.
It was such a joy to have you in my life.
Your spirit will live on...forever in our hearts.
Love,
Lisa & Matt

You were the little love of our lives. You will always be in our hearts and souls. Everyday with you was a joy. Rest in peace my angel.

Cory and Trent

My sweet angel Romie. The happiness you have brought me can never be forgotten. I love you now and forever.
Mommy

Rommel, you were my K-9, and such a loving protector of the family. I wish you were still with me, at my side, ears perked up, sniffing the air for any bad guys. I loved having you in the car with me, as, I know you would have given your life to save mine. No greater love than that. I am so sorry the cancer got to you, and I am so sorry that I had to put you down. That was the hardest day of my life. I cannot wait to see you again and give you a huge chew bone so you can play. I still remember the days when you would let my son wrestle you, and you never gave a whimper. You played soccer with him, and both of you were happy. The day that my sons friend died, my son just went to you and hugged you for hours. That is where he wanted to be and you were his comfort.When he finally came into the house, he smelled like you, and it was good smell, a smell of a protector and a giant! You were a giant in my eyes, and at 140 pounds, you were a giant to every bad guy out there. You were always so gentle with the children, and my wife, as that is what Rotts do. My son's friend died at 13, and Rommel was his comfort. Rommel, you protected me, and my family for so many years, and for that, God will allow you to be on the bridge until I see you again. It has been 8 years since I had to put you down, but I still call my new Rott, Barret, by your name. He is the same way you were. He loves us and protects us with a ferocity that cannot be explained. I love Barret a lot, and he is another Robodog. He is impervious to pain, and bulletproof:) Just like you, he would give his life for us, and he is not even K-9 trained. Rommel, just remember that because of you, we got another Rott. Had it not been for you, we would not have gotten another. I look forward to seeing you on the other side, where you do not have the cancer and can run and play, as I am sure you are doing right now. I know God will say to you-" come into My arms, good and faithful servant", as you were surely that. Love, Dad

rest in peace

Eleonora Apostolova

The moment I saw you I knew you were the cat for me. You helped me through some rough times.
I can't believe you died so quickly, and so young. I will be forever grateful for the 4 months I was able to spend with you.
You will always be in my heart.
I miss you, little buddy.

Lea Hardcastle

Ronin came to us nothing more than a little fuzz ball.
Over the years, he gave us more love than we could imagine and never messed up anything. We truly miss our little man, he was not a dog, but a family member to us.

Rest in peace my sweet angel, we will never forget you.

Pat and Nita Cooper

Min lilla Ronja Bus finns inte längre hos mig och sina syskon Laban och Lina. Vi sörjer dig alla, men vi ses snart här vid Rainbow Bridge, du har Aslan och Dino hos dig nu, och ni kan leka och busa och vara glada till vi andra kommer upp till er.
Vila i min lilla bus tös, så ses vi igen.

Mamma

My poor baby kitten, Ronnie i gave you the best life possible but could never protect you from everything. Reggie misses you so much and so do i. It feels as though a part of me is missing. Rest in peace little one x x

Leigh Cox

Love always.

i will never forget you

Ilona Kittler

Roo, I love you so much! you brought so much love into my life.
You were such a tough little girl, and you fought for so long.
I am so lucky that I had you in my life, even for such a short time.
I know you're feeling better now.
Mama

Roo,

You are the sweetest tuxedo female cat we have ever had.
We will miss your kisses, your purrs, and your attitude.
I am glad we could get you back to Florida safely.
Please give your brothers and sister kisses from us and we will see you again when it is our time.

Love, Mom and Daddy

Dear Monchurd Girl,
You are so missed and loved. We know you are in a better place, but our lives will never be the same without you and your unconditional love.
Run free.

God bless

Sherry & Ian

My precious little Roo left Tues morn to run with the big dogs, but he never came back. He thought he was as big as Kane and as fast as Kiko and as tough as Chance. But he only weighed 3 1/2 pounds and was my little baby Roo. I try not to think of what may have happened to him, since the pastures and trees hold such demons for a little dog.
I just want to see him prancing home, lifting that back leg like it was hurt. I want to see him pottying outside, almost falling over while lifting his leg. I want to see the smooth place under his chin, I want to kiss his neck. I want to raise the bedcovers for him to crawl underneath and get comfy for the night. I want to hear him howl with the rest of the dogs.
I miss you Roo and I loved you always. Wait for me at the bridge. Bye Rooty Tooty-

Gigi S

Roo Roo was our special boy.
He got sick very suddenly and we will miss him so much.
We have a new addition to our family.
Her name is Stella.
I know he would have adored her.
We know Roo Roo is watching her and giving her tips.
We find her sunbathing in the exact spot that Roo Roo did.
We miss you Roo Roo and will see you one day on the Rainbow Bridge.
You are the best boy forever!!

Melanie and Marshall

A tribute to The Best Little Girl In The Whole World.
Dad and Mom love you very much.
We miss you more.
Thank you for your love, joy and wisdom.
The young dog did teach us old dogs new tricks.
I'm so sorry your life was so short.
Thank you for choosing us.
Thank you for loving us.
I can hardly bear it that you are not still here.

Cyndy Streit & Joe Dye

ROOK LOVED THE MOUNTAINS AND HIS FAMILY HE WAS THE MOST AWSOM DOG HE WILL BE MISSED BY RILEY, DANNY, MICHELLE AND DANNY AND ALL HIS PUPPY DOG COUSINS AUNTS & UNCLES

My Roonie is gone but I will never forget our almost 17 years together.
She came to me as a stray at 3.5 weeks old and she lived a very beautiful life.
My life while I was with her went through so many changes yet the one thing I could always rely on was my Roon.
It was so hard to wake up this morning and not have her curled up on my left side but I know she was ready to go.
I love you more than words can explain. Goodbye my love.

Andi

Rooper-We lost you way too soon.
Thank you for being the most loving, hysterical, affectionate, and wonderful pet we have ever had.
Rest in Peace baby girl.
We love you...always.

Becca and Jay Swanson

I don't know if I believe in bridges or rainbows. All I know is the sting of losing the Monster has a numbing effect. The kind of numbness from being out in the cold to long. I find comfort in the fact that when I die I will see my parents once again (God willing that is). I guess I want a scripture that says to me that one day I will see Rookie again. If the Heaven is a place where "Field Of Dreams" dreams come true - if Heaven is a wish away - my wish is that I will one day find a home there with Rookie Monster. That will be miracle enough for me. It was a miracle that he found his way into my life.

Buttercup

Rooney, I am sitting here tonight and I can't begin to tell you how much I miss you. Making the decision to let you go was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I remember the day I brought you home. You were the most beautiful puppy with your silky black coat and you grew into the most beautiful dog with that silky coat. I was so sad when you didn't make it as a Guide Dog but then you came back home to me and brought so much joy into our lives. Until we meet again, remember how much you are loved.

XOXOXO

Mommy

I will always love my ROOSTER and will never forget him.

Mr. Ken W. Campen

These fine old ladies were all rescued from abused situations.
We gave them the BEST care in their final days.
Their injuries/illness' were too far to help and thei quality of life not good anymore.
Run free my Equine friends, you are FREE AT LAST, God's horse angels.
We Loved You all.

Barbara Butler

Root Beer, you left us so suddenly. We didn't get to tell you good bye. I hope you know how much mom, dad, Pepsi, Frito, and I loved you. You are dearly missed. Please give me the strength to carry on Rooty. Look down on us and watch over Pepsi and Frito as you did on Earth. We love you!
You'll always be momma's "Big Baby"!

Love,
Momma, Daddy, Russ, Pepsi, Frito, Ron and Patty (Cody and Montana), Rhonda and Jeremy, and Shawna and Lex

Rory, you were a joy and a gift to me, my best friend. Every minute I miss your presence, I miss you next to me everywhere I go. Grace and Telly miss you and Pepper too. I hope you know I'm sorry and I did everything I thought was right. I know I should have done more. I'm so sorry. Now you are with Shadow, playing and swimming together, take care of each other. Everything I did was to give you a good life. I hope I did, even if it was much too short. You brought such happiness to my life, thank you. I will always have that, even if there is still a huge emptiness without you. I love you Rory... be at peace.

Melanie Michon

Rosa, my best friend and soulmate. I can't wait to see you again, my baby. you were so special to me.

Francesca Cartisano

You had that terrible cancer growing inside you, you fought and I fought with you. You are now with Coatey, together you can once again run and play. I miss you bud. I will see you again in heaven.

Donald Lobb

Rosco, my lil bobo, how my heart feels empty without you.
You were the best dog and you left us too soon.
I love you so much and hope to see you again someday.
Mommy will always be there like I promised.
Durbuddy, this is dad, I love you.

Rosco was the greatest little dog. He is missed more then words can say.

Gwenett, Isaac, and Jacob Mendez

Rosco you will be forever missed and loved dearly.
I hope you will be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for us and that you understand why we had to do what we did.
It was not an easy decision for us to make.
I love you with all my heart and I just hope you know that.
You always made me feel better and I miss that about you.
I miss all of your quirky little habits too.
Be a good boy over there and I hope you're making lots of furry friends.

Lots of hugs & kisses,
Mommy & Daddy

Maybe he will meet my old childhood dog, Pinky.
They would just love each other.
I will always love you Rosco.

Jenny Nolan

He was Lou's buddy.
He is missed very much.

Louis & Melissa Naungayan

Roscoe Thanks for the Memories we Love You, and Miss You very much, Love Mommy and Daddy!

My friend was protecting his other doxies from the coyotes. He paid the ultimate sacrifice for them. Please, if you live in rural areas not not let your small animals run free. I will never forget him. I will miss him forever. He was my friend.

Kathy Stone

Roscoe, our first "baby boy". You'll be in our hearts forever.

Christine

Roscoe was a one in a million type of guy. He understood humans better than he understood others dogs. He was the "Belle of the Ball" at any dog park. A ever loving and loyal companion. He will be missed by so many, especially, his mommy and daddy, aunts and uncles, grandma and grandpa, and his loving sisters Sakari and Rosie. He was greeted in heaven by his loving brother, Rusty Nail, who passed on 9/4/07.

Kirsten and Kim

Roscoe was a special cat. He was black with white underneath and a white tie. He was 13 lbs. Roscoe I know you didn't really know what was going on cause it happened so suddden but you lived the normal years of an outside cat. I love you and daddy loves you and hermione and misty miss you. May you be good and don't get into mischief while your upstairs. And when it's my time I want to see you and hold you in my arms. Love and kisses and if skittles is with you because we can't find him no fighting ok? I love you very much. Sammy says hi.

Veronica

Roscoe, the very sudden loss of you is a shock and a great sorrow to your Mom and Dad. Our house seems empty without your sweet, affectionate presence. We will always love our precious boy.
We were blessed to have you for the past eight years.
Rest in peace.

Judy Knowles

Roscoe you are loved and missed greatly by your pet parents and your siblings - Sneakers, Vester, Kitten and Spooky.
You have left paw prints on our hearts.
Love you!

Kat and Ronnie Turner

Our Big Boy Roscoe suddenly went to be with his buddy, Winston, at the Rainbow Bridge, early today. He was the sweetest, most gentle dog we ever knew. If he had lived, he would have been a perfect Therapy Dog. He loved people and watching television.
His ability to see animals on television always amazed us. So today 105 pounds have been added to the Rainbow Bridge.
Wait for us, boy,and enjoy the company your old friend, Winston, who you missed greatly.
We love you.

Cynthia

I miss you so much. I love you!

Beverly Godwin

Roscoe was a great companion who got Linda through some dificullt times in her life, with unconnditional Love.
He will be missed
Rosce we Love you
say hello to Daisy, Taz, Bocephus, Boots, and Rianbow.

Buddy will cary on with our eartlly love

Linda Sheley, and Garry Clawson

Roscoe was our wonder dog.
He came to us as a stray and had so much love and protection of our family.
He is sadly missed by us and his bestest friend, Princess.

Mark & Starr Manning

Roscoe was a great dog, and an even better friend!! He loved a soft place to lie down, a nicely cooked piece of chicken, playing with his brothers , sam and spot(who miss him almost as much as i do), his long walks around the lake or the nieghborhood. Roscoe added warmth, laughter,love and a smile i will never forget as long as i live.

Roscoe I will miss your kisses in the morning,never has the back of my neck been so clean!! The look on your face when i came home from a 12 hour shift and you would lick the outback smells and tastes off of my arm and face. It is so hard without you hear! I know that you no longer have pain, and i thank you for suffering through the pain just to stick around to make me happy.
Roscoe i will always love my "Fatty Paints" have fun up on rainbow brdige eat plenty of chicken and lay on as many pillows as you can pile up.
Never forget me because I will never forget you!!!

Love your Dad and friend, Nathan

Devoted companion, friend and such a special dog who will never be forgotten.
We will never forget you - you are forever in our hearts.

Rest well and I will see you again.

Lynn Kennedy

She was very special to me. When we got her at the store she fell asleep in my hand so we knew she was meant to be with us. Even though she was our 11th hamster that didn't matter she was named after my Mom who passed away 2 years ago. I loved her so much and I wasn't there for her passing or my mom's. She had panda coloring. We still have another female dwarf named Sunny and two new kittens so that helps a little. But she was our 11th hamster and it doesn't get any easier. Only with time does it get easier.

Pattie

Rose was our Baby Girl and a real trooper...even with her cancer and all her other ailments.
We love her and miss Rose very much, but we know she is in a better place and is watching over us.

We'll always love you!
Love, Mom & Dad & Sadie Mae & Willow (our 2 cats)

Matthew (Rose's boy):she re-defined Man's best friend.

June: Rose saw me through my chemotherapy for breast cancer, never leaving my side. Each time I woke in the dark, I felt her warmth and knew it would be okay.

Tracy: you're my babygirl, always. My beauty, inside and out. We've been blessed to have found you at the shelter that day when you were 7 weeks old, and blessed you chose to love us and be an incredible part of our family for 7 year's.

To be ripped form us because of bladder cancer.
After all you did for Mom, being there for her fight against breast cancer.
It's wrong, so wrong.

Kyra keeps looking for you, as do we, her tail wag's, her ear's tall, listening, to find...nothing.

This morning we hoped to awaken to your bark's announcing the rising of the sun.

"Another day, it's time to get up."

...only today was silent, and when we got up it's hard, because it meant that you're really gone. But only from our sight, babygirl, only from our sight. You're a part of each of us, each breath, each beat of our heart's.

I don't want to say good bye.

One of a kind...You, Rose. Exquisite.
Sleep in angel's arm's, babygirl.

I envy them.

Tracy, Matthew, June Holt & Kyra (Rose's Sister)

My Rosie-Derl Baby,
I miss you everyday!
You made us laugh with your sweet, funny, adorable ways.
I keep your ashes under the driver's seat of my car because I know how much you loved to go for rides!
We will see you at Rainbow Bridge when our time comes!
Love you always!
Mama and Daddy

Rosie, you were always such a wonderful puppy. You were my big handsome "brother" and I will always love you no matter what.
I promise that I will see you again.

Jen Scott

Rosie was one of the best dogs anyone could ever ask for. She was loyal, loving, and a great mother dog. When we got her 7 years ago, she was not groomed, but I still thought she was the most beautiful animal in the world. She had the most expressive eyes, and I always knew that I was loved.

She would sleep under the covers at night and keep my feet warm, and she always slept with me, no mstter what time of day it was. We would go walking together, and I never needed to put her on a leash becuase she always stayed with me. She was the best pet ever!

The day she passed away, I knew that something was wrong because she wouldn't respond to me, and she would just lay there. I took her to the vet and they told me that she was going into liver failure, so I had her put to sleep, and that was the hardest decision I ever had to make.

I know that she lived a long and happy life, but I miss her so much! She will never know how much I loved her, but when we meet again, I will make sure she knows!

I LOVE YOU ROSIE GIRL AND I MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW!!

Erica

Rosie - I can't believe you've gone, you took my soul with you on Sunday.
We love you so much and the emptiness is unbearable. You were such a huge personality, so loving and funny and bonkers! The house is so empty and cold without you. We keep looking for you and you're not there. I'll miss hearing you come up the stairs, standing under mum when she carved the chicken, barking in your sleep, trying to steal birdseed from the cupboard, your warm welcomes, the freckles on your nose, our cuddles and sharing chocolate buttons. We were so blessed to have you. We needed you. I hope you know how much we love you Rosie bear. So many tears. I'm lost without you little friend.

Ruth Ellis

Our little angel & Woo-Woo.
We'll miss you!
Love,
Mom & Dad

Rosie was the sweetest and loving pet anyone could ask for.
She gave a 1,000 kisses a day!

J. Caplinger

Rosie You were the livlest, funniest, sneakiest, sweetest, most loving dog I have ever known.
Your strong will and bold spirit were amazing.
Your innocence was adorable, your anticks were comical,your brown eyes beautiful, and your zest for life spectacular.
our other 2 boxers Bo-joe and Sassy and me and Susie will never be the same.
We brought you home on the fourth of july 2004 and and we had no idea what a fire cracker you would grow up to be. Thanks for the ride girl, you will live in our hearts aways. you truley were one in a million.

Lee Campbell

Your loving family will always miss you although we know you are sitting at Grandpa Jack's feet keeping him company. We love you, Ro Ro! Have fun chasing everything you always chased. Our beauiful girl....Kisses-our loving fammily

Stephen, Patty Jake, Sage and Jack Henry Tomsky

Rosie was the light of my life, without her unconditional love through my illness I would not be here today.
Without her in my life my world is not as bright.

Minette Innerarity

Rosie was the sweetest and loyal dog.
She blessed our life with laughter, love, and gentleness.
We'll never forget how she chewed rawhide and then would bring it to bed with her.
She dutifully hogged the bed while she slept.
She loved the park and going for a run or walk.
She grew from a 10 week old puppy to a distinguished lady.
She became an expert at standing under the dining table with her head on your lap in case scraps would fall.
She loved to roll around in the grass and run around as though the days would never end.
I'm not sure what happens after death, but I'm sure she is probably happily romping along the grassy hills, warm and comfortable, without illness, and waiting for the day when we can all cross that Rainbow Bridge together.
Rosie, we miss and love you very much.
You will always be in our hearts and here in spirit.
You've changed our lives for the better.

Mom, Dad, and Sissy

Rosie, I miss you every day, especially in the morning when I check my e-mail and get ready for school.
Simba has been waiting in the basement for you.
He wants to see you so badly.
I hope you are with your friends like Tom and Diget.

Diane and Malia

My little Rosie,
I knew your time was coming and thought I was prepared.
How could that be?
You were the feistiest little creature I have ever known.
Your CHF was discovered 10 years ago. You stopped taking your heart medicine 2 years ago! That was also about the time you stopped biting me (and only me). You lost your sight and your hearing (I think -- your hearing was always selective so I couldn't be sure). Yet until last Tuesday you could find your way up and down your stairs from your sofa to your food. I promised you I wouldn't let you suffer and I know I kept that promise but I feel I have to tell the world that letting you go was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. My heart hurts from missing you.
I want to believe that you are having fun meeting Mom and all of the others I told you to look for before Dr. Patty helped you leave me.
Sharon

We will miss our dear Rosie the rest of our lives.
She was so special and we loved her so much.
And miss her so much.
Goodby my sweet girl.
You were the best puppy ever.

Micky Shirley

Rosie adopted us several years ago, when she showed up emaciated on our doorstep, but still capable of purring and affection.
We have been blessed to have known her for the time that we had with her.

Donna Knorton

a brave little girl that fought for 12 days against something we will never know what. she is greatly missed.

Rosie, you were a good old girl. You were loyal and worked hard protecting the shop. Babe will find it hard without you. Thank you for being our friend. We love you and miss you.

Wanda Fraser

I lost my yellow lab yesterday 7/7/07 when I had to have her put to sleep.
She was fine in the morning upon wakening but within 2 hours couldn't breathe.
We rushed her to the vet to find out that she was having heart failure.
It is such a difficult time and such a hard thing to have to do.
She has brought such joy to my family including my 3 sons but I had no choice.
They put her on oxygen to help her breathe but each time they took her off of it she couldn't breathe.
I know that she isn't in pain but I am.
I can not stop from crying.
Everywhere I look I see her.
I know that I will get over it but it surly is hard.

I LOVE YOU ROSIE!!!

My beautiful Rosie died today after a brief fight with intestinal cancer. She was living well with CRF, and two weeks ago was diagnosed with cancer.

Rosie was a beautiful, smart, loving, silly girl who took good care of her Mommy always. I love her now, and I will always love her.

I hope wherever she is she can run in the grass without a leash, and eat as much as she wants without any pain.

I love you, Mommy's Rosie.

Rosie was a sweet, intelligent, funny, loving, beautiful cat.
I love her very much.

Nan Thurgate

Our beloved Rosie is now at Rainbow Bridge.
She was a true and loyal member of our family .. we miss her dearly and always will.
At least now though .. we know she no longer suffers.
Rosie is happy and healthy again.

Brenda & Betty Napier

It was a nice sunny start to the day today when at about 9am the vet gave you a shot that ended all of your pain and suffering this past week. You must have been a strong dog to keep fighting and not give up, As I told you last night not to be afraid of leaving us and to go home when you got the chance. You must have been ready to go or some one was ready to take you home.I hope you are happy now and are having fun with you pals, Abiesue, Nikki, Lassie, Mickey and your special human-grandpa. I'm sorry I didn't get you to the vet sooner, nor had the money to take care of you as needed. The time you and your pals were here was nothing more than a tick in time, yet when you left, took a big piece of me with you. I pray for when the time comes that I get to see and hug everyone, and receive all those doggie kiss' again.

Dan Hockey

Rosie you and I grew up together. You were a dog that help me through diffcult times and was always there loyaly.

What is my loss is heaven's gain. So Rosie wait until I get there. Until we met again at the gates
Good Bye Rosie
See you in heaven someday.

Sarah Hockey

Precious girl, I'm so sorry. I miss you so much my
furry roommate. I know there's a heaven...and I know I'll see you again because it can't be heaven without our beloved pets. I hope you understand I took the best care of you that I could but I was worried that you were getting sicker and you just weren't feeling that good. I couldn't give you the care that you needed, and you had a wonderful life. You always will be my precious cat.

Jane

Sister of Princess, also a victim of poisoned pet food.
We miss you!

Phyllis Mueller

Leonie Winter

Oh my dearest Rosie.
I have missed you so much since you crossed the bridge.
My life has not been the same without you and I fear it never will be.
I miss you so badly I ache.
You were my best friend.
I kept my prmoise to you though, I did not let you go alone.
I held you as you made your crossing and I know I will see you again one day.
I just wish we had been able to stay here together longer.
I miss you so my little Stinky.

Tara Crumpton

Rosie was the sweetest dog ever and protected her family 'til the end. We'll miss her dearly.

Lisa Burke

Laura and Lowell Caylor

Underneath the bluest sky
Wading through the fields of Rye
Wind and birds in harmony
Stars the Perfect canopy

Head up in the Cirrus clouds
Upright standing oh so proud
Mowing down the fields of hay
up at nightfall, down by day

Amish Born and Amish raised
O're the timothy she grazed
Seasons as they came to pass
Rosie lying in the grass

Strong in days so long ago
Working in the farmer's field
Like she did in days of old
Helps the farmer get his yeild

Now Joints swell and fill with pain
Rosie loses rank again
Kindness of so many hearts
Lets this story have a start

Lived last days filled with glory
Loved and pampered goes the story
Passed away on midnight cool
Legendary old draft mule

Linda Hunter

Rosie, my sweet little girl.
I never knew a little bird could give so much love as you did.
I miss your soft kisses and you hiding under my hair, your kiss sounds, just everything about you.
I will never forget your love, your beauty, the way you made me smile.
Rest my baby girl.
I am so, so very sorry I was not there to help you when you were taken away from me.
I am so sorry I could not save you.
Please, Rosie, forgive me.
Until we meet again, I love you with my whole heart and soul.
Mommy and Birds

Our devoted friend for 14 years - rest in peace.

Peter & Gail Tierney

Rosie was more than just a pet.
She was our family's joy.

I miss your deep brown eyes looking at us and your greeting when we returned home.
You were so special to us.
Unfortunately you were a victim of the recalled food and was taken too young from us.
If we had only known!

We will never forget you and you will always remain special in our hearts.

Cheryl F

Goodbye my sweet little girl, you were always loved so much and will be missed always. Rest now at Rainbow Bridge until we meet again. Love you so much XXXXX

Mrs Anne O'Shea

sleep tight baby
love mummy

Caroline

Dear Rozzie,

Thank you for being such a compassionate and sweet soul.
You mean the world to us and we want you to know that we love you dearly and you will always be in our hearts.
Until we meet again....lots of hugs and kisses.
Love, mommy and daddy.

Someone so small but filled with so much love and devotion will be missed forever. My heart will have a void that can never be filled again. I pray that we will be united again when our holy mother sees fit. Until then you will always have my undying love. Never will there be a day that you are not missed and thought of lovingly.

His Loving Mother Jerry

Roux was saved from an animal shelter by my Brother's friend in Mississippi.
My brother brought the little toot from Mississippi to Arkansas to give to my Mom.
Having a pet was a challenge for my Mom at the time because of her responsibilities to her husband in a nursing home.
However, she fell in love with him and he became her companion despite minor trials and tribulations.
He entered our lives in October of 2001.
My brother died suddenly the day after Thanksgiving of the same year and my Mom held her pet dear to her for that reason.
Now, several days after Thanksgiving Roux passes as well.
We loved him very, very much and my Mom will grieve inconsolable and miss him terribly.

Laurie Miller On Behalf Of Laura Sypult

Rovey - you were loved and cherished from the moment I got you.
We moved three times in the UK, then I moved you to Australia.
We lived in two houses in WA and then we moved to Brisbane.
You always stayed with me, you were always there to greet me when I got home.
You helped me get through some really bad times and I loved you with all my heart.

Sleep peacefully my little man - I love you xxx

Rovie Brakefield
Half chihuahua (mother - 6 lbs.) and Half Poodle (father - 4 lbs.)
Loving Adoptive Parents: Debbie Thomas and Mark Brakefield
b:
Oct 28, 2002 Arab, Marshall Co, AL (Born to dame belonging to Annie Hayes)
d: Saturday, Aug 11, 2007 11:15am Arab, Marshall Co, AL
buried: At home on August 12, 2007 6pm

Rovie was a love-bucket and most affectionate. He was most happy and brought much happiness with his presence. He traveled everywhere that Debbie traveled and visited.

Rovie had his own wardrobe and toys.
He would pick up his toys from the floor and furniture when Debbie told him that company was coming to visit.
He would get his own shirt out of the drawer to be dressed in.
He chose what he wanted to wear.
He loved to bathe.
He loved his Auburn shirt and the one which read "Security".

Rovie was buried in his own casket (an infant child's casket - white wickerlike metal with baby blue blanket, cover and bows) at home with family members attending.
Casket was donated by Don Bradford of
Arab Heritage Funeral Home.
On the front of the casket was the sentiment "We love you Buggy, and will miss you."

Rovie is missed so tremendously by his family and all who knew him.

Rest in Heavenly Peace, our dear little friend Rovie......

My bright light has gone,
I feel as though half of me has died... yet I still look for her everywhere.
I am caught unaware when the grief wells up and brings tears to these eyes.
Yet I know that you are now happy and safe from the toils of this world.
Be free.... I will join you when my time comes

Jonn Stevens

Rowan, you will always be my baby even though you were 12 years old. Your vet called you a gentle soul and you were, and letting you go was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make, but I knew it was best for you and I know you will be painfree and happy at the Rainbow Bridge.

Keep an eye out for me, your dad Lynton, your human sister Jessica, and your furrbaby brother and sister Rider and Abbie. We all miss you and love you so much.

You left your paw prints on our hearts :)

Mummy

You will always be in my heart..I love you, my special friend

Stephanie May

I got Rowdy when he was just a pup, his mom had died while giving birth to him and his siblings. He and his family belonged to a friend of my mom, she brought him home to me the day after I had an MRI. He looked like a little black bear cub. He was always so loving, he would stand on this legs and give me bear hugs, we would play together for hours. About two years ago he developed a heart problem, the doctors said he wouldn't live but a few months. He showed them by living two more years. He was so stubborn, you could never tell his heart was going bad, he was playful and alive up until the end.

Rebecca

Rowdy was a wonderful old fellow and we still miss him.

Marie

To the best dog that ever lived -

You were the one thing in this life I could call my very own.

I chose you, took you home to be with me, and I saw you through to the end.
Goodbye my friend.

Anne

Dear Rowdy, I
will never forget the day we met there you were in cardboard box with you're brothers and sisters.Instead me picking you,you picked me by toddling over on those short puppy legs and licked my hand.I found at you of all places a yard sale price seven dollars,Seven dollars for 16years of love and devotion.You were there in times of personal crisis always there to comfort me and when i moved back with mom you came along too mom ran a daycare and you made the best daycare dog so patient with the kids even when they pulled you're ears and hair. Always protective you almost died that time you took a rattle snake bite by jumping between it an little boy.You were so sick but we all prayed for you
even members from mom's church and you pulled through and god answered our prayers. I know god loves dogs for he sent you to us
Our angel in golden fur.I will always love and miss you until we are are together again on Rainbow Bridge you're faithful Friend, Sandra

The best friend I've ever had.

Sandy Riley-Eversole

Rowdy's life was so short.
But the time she shared with us was a gift.
She was our "Row Row."
We will miss her forever.

Melany White

ROWDY LEFT US SO SUDDEN, I DON'T FEEL I GOT TO SAY GOOD-BYE, I'LL ALWAYS MISS YOU HEAD BOBBING IN THE WINDOW WHEN WE CAME HOME OR YOU LOOKING FOR YOUR SQUEAKY TOY TO SQUEAK WHEN YOU WERE EXCITED, WE MISS YOU SO MUCH, HOPE YOU ARE WITH T.T. NOW WAITING FOR ME, UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN,
I LOVE YOU ROWDY
MOMMIE

Rowdy was our best friend and baby boy, we loved with all our hearts. He gave us the best 15 years. We feel blessed to have had him in our lives and will cherish his memories always. We will miss you, our little friend.

Grover Ford & Donna Treen

Our time together was too short.
In my heart, you will be, forever!
Mommy loves you!

Lora Umlauf

Rowdy was my constant companion the last 14 years thru the changes of my life, deaths, empty nest syndrome and chased away ghosts in the night, provided love and encouragement by day, traveled with me.
I am believeing he is getting his reward and rest in heaven now.
I miss him.

Susie Gray

I love you so very much RoRo. Thank you for spending your life with me! I will never forget you.

Maryann

You will never be forgot Roxanne.
The kids will miss you!
Be free!

Staci Sundberg

It has now been one year since you have been gone. It still isn't easy going on without you. I still think of you every day. You are greatly missed. Love, your dad

I love Roxanne. She is everywhere I look - in the yard, at the park, in the house. She had a good morning with a walk in the park and some eggs for breakfast, after a very restless and uncomfortable night. I decided it was best to remember her this way rather than to pursue a more aggressive course of treatment for her cancer which didn't even offer much chance of retaining any quality of life. She was in enough discomfort; I couldn't wait until she got any worse. Everyone says I did the right thing. I set her free and she is now running on the beach after that elusive tennis ball.
That didn't make it any easier to have the vet come to my house, or to feel the life go out of Roxanne's body as she lay in my arms. But her love and devotion will never be forgotten as long as I live. Hers was a soul that knew loss and hurt, yet continued to trust and love, and took great pleasure in the simplest things: a belly rub, her favorite toy, laying in the sun, hogging the bed, splashing in her "happy fun pool", running on the beach, rolling in the snow, watching a squirrel, hiking, or just enjoying our walks in the park. She will never be forgotten. Ever.

Linda Jellison

She never knew she was a dog.
She was another child to the family.

Trish

You were so special to us little girl.
We couldn't love you enough.
We know you're still here, wondering why we don't see you...but your in our hearts and our thoughts sooo much.
We are hoping you find Alex and enjoy your new found youth again to run and play with lizards and chase birds on the beach.
Wait for us by the bridge with Jesus when he tells you it's time to see us again and we'll have a glorious ever after together.
I still have all your toys and will keep them for you here if you want to check in on us now and then.
Tell Alex and Dusty we miss them but don't brag to Alex how much Yaro spoiled you...she'll be so jealous.
Until we meet again my precious XXXXOOOO to you.
All our Love,
Mommy and Daddy

My daughter I couldn't have. She is my very best Friend.She will be in Our Hearts Forever.WE Miss you Baby.

Love Always

MoM,DaD

and all your friends and Family xoxo

Roxie was absolutely the funniest, most endearing dog ever.
I don't care how annoyingly bad she could be; it never failed that I would end up laughing at her.
I started calling her “ My Stinkin’ Pomeranian” from the start and told people it was really just a term of endearment.
I didn’t know how much I really loved her until she was gone.
I got Roxanne from a rescue organization when she was about a year old, I don't know exactly what her first year was like, she had the worst doggie social skills ever.
But I have never met a more eternally optimistic dog.
No matter what happened she was just so happy to be my dog.
When I married and Roxie and I moved to San Diego she thought that she was already in heaven, she got a family, a large yard, a new “daddy” that would take naps with her on Sunday afternoon floating in the pool and so much more.
Her life was perfect but it was just too short.
Last week, in spite of all the precautions that we took, a coyote got into our yard before nightfall and killed my funny little dog.
She will be forever loved and missed.

Sandy McPhee

Roxey, sweet Roxey girl, I'm SO SAD knowing I won't see you anymore, the pain is so great!!
I'll miss hearing your greetings every time I came to visit (that distinct howel that only belonged to you).
And the way you wouldn't stop howling until I touched you, hugged you and kissed you hello.
I'll miss how you would sit patiently, but of course giving me that little howel until I gave you a treat. You were my "Niece" and we had a special bond, a connection that will forever be!!!
Ten years together of sharing, of laughter and joy and it's so hard to believe you're gone.
It's a
HUGE LOSS to me and even more so to your Mommy (my sister, Debbie)!!
SHE MISSES YOU SO MUCH!!
She feels the pain every second she's in the house and she turns and your not by her side, like you always were.
She says you never left her, you were always there around her, protecting her, wanting her attention, wanting those neck rubs that you loved so much!!
You belonged to a family that will forever miss you and feel the loss of your presence each and every day.
Daddy Bobby, Kayla, Chris, Grandma, Uncle Chris, Uncle Michael, Uncle Louis, Aunt Gina, little Louis, are going to be lost without you and miss you everyday!!
You were part of our days, our Holidays, Christmas being your favorite one.
You were part of my prayers always and will continue to be forever!
Our family was not complete without you and you will always be part of us....ALWAYS!
THANK YOU for the happiness and unconditional love you gave me!!
You will never be forgotten, always remembered, always TREASURED!!
Like Marlowe and Ben before you, who we continue to remember and love so much. I know you're all together now, playing and having a good time!!
I LOVE YOU...ALWAYS!
Aunt Danielle xxoo

I WILL MISS MY BIG DOG! YOU ARE NOW HAPPY AND PAIN FREE.
I CAN SEE YOU NOW RUNNING AND JUMPING AND BEING UP IN EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS.
RIP ROXI BABY. I LOVE YOU

Tamara

I'm so sorry I couldn't protect her....
I left her with some friends for a couple of days and their renter forgot to put the lock on the gate. She got out and was out for less than an hour before someone hit her with their car and took off. Thankfully 2 amazing strangers came by, stopped traffic and carried her out of the street. They held her and talked to her as she took her last breath. I miss her so much and would give anything to have her back.
We all Love and Miss you, my ROXI girl....

Nuphar

Although we only had you 3 years.
You brought so much joy and happiness to our lives.
I hope we gave the same in return to you.
You will be missed.

Carol, Sarah & J.D.

You were taken away from me far too soon. At three months old, you had only been with me for three weeks. I loved you more than you will ever know. The tragedy that took you away from me will soon be forgotten, but the memories of our short time together will last a lifetime. I can not wait until the day we get to see each other again. I love you!

Brandon Martyn

Roxie was the sweetest little girl; everyone who met her always mentioned how happy she seemed, even when she obviously didn't feel good.
Roxie, although tiny, had the biggest heart and she has taken the biggest piece of my heart with her.
I will always miss you, Roxie, and I will be with you again at the Bridge!

Staci Bliss

My special pup... always a best friend, never left my side.
I miss you every single day and look forward to the day that I see you running across that meadow to greet me.
I'll see you again when my time here is done.

I love you Roo.

Jo Ellen Gates

Hope her friends are waiting for her. We miss her too much. Bye for now Blondie.
Dad

Our beloved corgi Roxie was the best dog ever.
We had 14 years of coming home to her kind, watchful, smiling face.
I will miss her nightly circle around the house, barking only once or twice to let everyone know that our home was protected.
She was a true companion through the worst of times and the best of times. I pray that she's found our neighbors in heaven and can now rest comfortably, and feel that she's still amongst friends.

Theresa Powell

Our precious Roxie,

We will carry our memories of you in our hearts forever.
You are such a sweet girl and we were lucky to have you in our lives.
I will always remember you my love, as you were always my favorite(shhh...don't tell Princess).
Farewell Roxie.
I look forward to seeing you up there in doggie heaven someday.
Love you.

Your favorite Pet-Sitter & your loving family

My beautiful little girl and I met late in her life and we only had 4 wonderful years together, but I couldn't have loved her any more than if I had raised her from birth. She was such a fragile, sweet special needs dog, but when I saw her picture on Petfinder.com, it was love at first sight! I was truly hoping we would have more time together, but I am grateful that I got to love her at all. I miss her soooo much that at times it's hard to even breath! I still can't believe she's gone. She was my life and my baby and I loved her with my whole being. I just wish I could hold her one more time.
I love you, Roxie!!

Kimberly Elkins

Always in our hearts...'til we meet again

Terri, Jim, Christina & James

We miss you our beautiful Princess.
Too soon do we part, we will see you in Heaven.
All our love, your loving family, (humans) Tony, Suzanne, Colin, Emma, (furry friends) Sydney and R2.

Roxie was the sweetest.
She was always so thankful for our affections.
The sun rose and set for her family.
We were truly blessed to have her enrich our lives for 17 1/2 years.
We are saddened and grief srticken for our loss, but we would not of wanted to miss a day with our Roxie.
We love you

To, Debbie, Sara

You were in our familie's life such a short time, but you granted my brother a smile and us hope that we could love something so small with so much.
Find our loved ones who have already left us and run and play... we will see you again soon.

A. Scott

My Roxy,

It's not very often that dreams come true
But mine really did the day I met you.
I love you more than words can say
And you loved me back in your own special way.

You made us smile, you made us laugh
When you came back from having a bath.
'Cos attached to your collar was a pretty little bow
When you'd been cleaned from head to toe.

I keep finding your hair everywhere
But thats ok 'cos I don't care.
Letting you go was the hardest thing for me
But you'd had enough, in your eyes I could see.

You have left a hole that nothing can fill
Love you forever,that I promise I will.
You loved everyone you met
You were my best friend, not just my pet.

The trust you put in us made me so proud
I just want to tell the world out loud.......
I LOVE YOU ROXY

Love Mummy xxxx

Roxy AKA The attack ferret.
I adopted her 4 years ago and she was my little girl.
She had a bit of a "biting" problem with everyone, except for me.
She would snuggle and kiss me and if someone came near me she would attack.
Smart enought to only attack skin.
She wouldn't bite if it wasn't worth it.
She loved me and I loved her!!
I had 4 wonderful years with her!
3 weeks ago I took her to the vet, she seemed to be very lethargic and when she walked she was very wobbly.
We did an x-ray and found a tumor in her chest cavity that was affecting her lungs and heart.
She wasnn't a candidate for surgery because of the location and size of the tumor.
Prednisone made her more comfy but the inevitable happened on Monday.
I was working late that night, went to the gym and after that decided to go straight home instead of going out for Monday Night Football.
As soon as I got in the door I went straight to her room (she had her own room) picked her up, she gave me some kisses and took her last 2 deep breaths in my arms.
She passed away that quick.
My little girl waited for me and went so peacefully in my arms I will never forget that.
I miss her with all my heart!

Linda Audett

ROXY
Roxy you were a special dog in every single way,
we have so many thoughts of you
and so much we want to say.
you gave so much love and brought so much joy,
and we loved to watch you play
with your favourite red toy.
you were so pretty with your big brown eyes
and such a gentle girl for a dog of your size.
you loved to be cuddled and stroked and kissed
and forevermore you will be greatly missed.
Night night darling.God bless.
from Nanny,Emma and Peter.xxxxxxxx

Truly our little angel.

Jessica and Ken Diaz

A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest.
God broke my heart to prove
he only takes the best.
God knows you had to leave me
but you did not go alone,
for part of me went with you
the day he took you home.

Leeann Havelka

A part of me died with her and I will never be the same again

Joanne Depalma

Forever in our Hearts - We Love and Miss you Very Much. Until we meet again. Love Mom, Dad, Brett, Brenton, Daylan and Tami.
