Year 2007 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "T".

You were not my whole life, but you made my life whole. I will always remember you!

Lou Marotta

Deeply Loved and Deeply Missed!!

Gabrielle Dopp

R.I.P. My oldest son...
Many chose babies, my children are Rex, Sid, and Toby.
To those of you who do not really know me and Brandon, you would just call them cats.
Do not be mistaken, these are our sons.
In Loving Memory of Rex…

You are the love of my life.
You are my first born son.
From the day I saw you that hot Louisiana day in June, I loved you.

The meeting – There you were, a little ball of fuzz.
Merely two to two and a half weeks old. Your little eyes were still blue and you could not walk.
I am sure the floods washed you there as it had been raining terribly for weeks.
But you found the hill that your momma was going to visit that day.
I was big and scary to you.
You would not come to me for anything.
I had to hide behind steps and shake the grass to even get you to come closer to me.
You finally crawled next to me in a wobbly fashion.
I snatched you up and you started your little rattle rock purring.
I had more items to take out of storage and brought you inside.
One of the passes, I said, "hey little one, I am going to take you out of here and feed you soon.
Just a few more minutes."
You rolled over onto your back when I reached for you and rabbit kicked me.
With that smooth move, you completely melted my heart.

I rushed you to my veterinarian.
When I brought you in they thought you were the cutest baby ever.
They got me a bottle and some baby milk for you.
Well, that little tiny pin hole in the nipple was not enough for you.
I took scissors to the end to punch an X shape into it and rolled you on your back like an infant.
You wrapped your little white paws around the bottle and drank away.

Chellsey fed you once and fell in love with you.

I dreaded showing you to your daddy because we had Maynard and Angel in the house.
I thought he would fuss at me for bringing you home.
I had you wrapped up when I walked through the door.
He fell in love with you as soon as he saw you.
He fed you just like I did at the vet.
Your daddy was in love.
You cried and cried at night because you did not want to be in the bathroom alone.
I made you a basket of my shirts, daddy's shirt and a little furry white stuffed cat.
This was the only way we could get you to sleep through the night.
You were too tiny to sleep in the bed with us. We did not want to squish you.
After a couple of weeks of every four hour feeding, daddy said, "Can we keep him?"

That was the end.
You were our first born son.

A fish came home.
You scratched at the fish tank trying to dig your way into it.

B-A-L-L

The only one who ever sat on command.
All it took was, "Ready?, Ready?, Go get it."
Off you went, retrieving and bringing it back most of the time.
A rub on the butt from Dad was required after such a service.
Had to be Dad. He was the only one who did it the right way.

Speaking of Dad being the only one who did something right.
Nobody better try to brush you, even Mom.
Dad was the only one who did it the right way.
Period.

Dad playing on the computer, oh I will be in your lap for however many hours you sit still.

If Mom or Dad did not feel good, you put on the nurse hat and never left their side.

Sleeping at night was simple.
Mom is short leaving just the right amount of room for you at her end of the bed.
Six years, this was your spot.
On the weekends when it WAS NOT time to get up, you casually laid across one of Mom and Dad's feet so that they had to physically move you to get out of bed.
This always resulted in some good pettings.

When you were little, Mom and Dad would play rock paper scissors to see who had to get up to turn off the lights because you would pounce their ankles and toes from under the bed. Once we were in bed, you could be one inch away from the hand or foot moving under the blanket an then POUNCE... You just pounced Momma's hand she had under a rug 11/21/07 a few inches away.

Mommy and Daddy when they were just waking up in the mornings and groggy. You run purring at the first moment you notice their eyes opening.
When you did not receive a petting right away, you bit their noses to hear them say, "Ouch, Rex" But you knew it always made them smile and pet you.

Paper – take a piece of paper and hand it to you.
What did you do, you snapped at it, biting it like a dog pulling and shaking your head a bit.

B-I-T-E

Bite, do you want a bite?
Don't say that twice.
Your little head snapped around or you were brought out of the deepest sleep to run right to Mom and Dad's feet to eat whatever they were eating. (Sit first)
Especially Dad's chicken wings.
Mud was no exception.

Speaking of biting.
You had a few ground rules to live by.
First, do not wear black shoes, EVER!! Second, if my mom and dad show you more attention than me, I will eat you.
If you run, I will only chase you and bite you harder.
Grandma and Chellsey never stood a chance.

Is Grandpa on the phone???

Your Mom, Aunt Carrie and Grandma remember calling the Biloxi fire department because you crawled under the seat of the Mitsubishi.
It was 95 degrees or higher and they all just knew you were stuck forever.
As soon as animal control showed up and suggested removing the seat, you crawled out from under it to great them.

Birds outside or a fly swatter spun by dad mad you say met-et-eck-eck-eck-eck over and over again.

If it crunched and was not easily digested, you crunched on it.
You ate nearly 36" of ribbon.
This was very similar to the many yards of ribbon Mom has containing little bite marks in them.
The leaves you brought in from the front porch and showed mom and dad and then crunched into little pieces on the carpet, the brand new shower curtain mom bought with the perfect square of bite marks, the flowers on every wreath, lace and net curtains, Mom's bridesmaid dress from Aunt Tammy's wedding.

Mom would dance bouncing up and down and then grab you.
You should bob up and down your head bobbin to the rhythm of the music hanging on her shoulder until she put you on the ground, never struggling.
Dad would look at you both like you were crazy.
You loved to hang limp on her shoulder for a good slow dance too.

Mischievous is definitely a word for you.
If you wanted to have some scratches and were ignored, the closest rug would be a victim of scratch scratch scratch.

No matter who was coming home, Mom or Dad, you were there at the door waiting.
Could not open the door half of the time. Mom had her order of oldest to youngest.
You were first. At the door, in her heart and always!

Hide and Seek was a fun game.
No matter what door Mom was hiding behind, you would find her and say, Mom, Mom and then take off running.

Puff, puff, puff.
You puffed up sideways at us every time you had a chance and boy did the new apartment have some good ambush points.

We love you Rex. RIP

Melissa Romero

In memory of our darling Tabasco -

One single year has passed since you left our lives and went to heaven.
Most days it feels like a lifetime since we held you tight, rubbed your belly and "spanked" your "little heinie".
We miss you every day and we think about you all the time.
We pray that you know how much we love you still.
You will always be our Boo Boo Love.

Until we see you at the Rainbow Bridge - all our love,

Mommy and Daddy

Tabby was Tippies brother and Tinnies other boy.he was so smart and loving...we miss him and his brother.

Roxanne L Elliott

Tabby was so loyal and always so happy to see anyone who came into our house.

Hannah Wong

My little baby, you left so suddenly. We were taking you to the vet the day you passed. I still do not know why you went. I do know in my heart you were ready though. I am very grateful we were there with you and let you know we love you soooo much. Our hearts are broken without you here. Even you mean little brother misses you! On Christmas we will still have a gift for you. Please know you are NEVER forgotten and meet us at the bridge. We love and miss you.

Janett, Rupert and Lennox Simmons

Tabitha, you are my best friend. We had 18 1/2 wonderful years together. I am a better person, because you showed me what love really is. You knew when I was sad or sick, the same way I did with you. My world is forever changed after losing you. Sweet dreams baby girl. Mommy loves you and will miss you forever.

Suzanne

I will never forget my special friend. Tabitha, I will miss you every day. Thank you for giving me 17 years of love, friendship and company. Rest In Peace with your brother, Sebastian. I Love You So Much.

Leigh Brown

She was a stray I was feeding and was hit by a car.
She didn't have a chance but is now in heaven and feeling no pain.
We will meet again and continue where we left off!
I miss you and will never forget your sweet face!

Nancy A

I lost my baby, Tabitha, just over a week ago.
She was a special cat - we called her a little person with fur.
She was with me through some really bad times and some really good times, but no matter what, she gave me love and support.
She slept under the covers with me, she sat on the side of the tub when I took a bath, she sat or laid on the couch with me, if I cried, she was right there, she followed me everywhere. She's the closest thing I've ever had to a child.
Toward the end - she had gastric lymphoma - she felt so horrible and was in pain, but every night she would curl up in my lap and just spend time with me. I knew I was losing her and it was the most terrible feeling in the world.
I will never be able to love a cat the same way I loved Tabitha. It's just not possible.
If everyone could just say a small prayer for her, I would be grateful. I hope she is out there, happy and healthy, surrounded by friends and family. And, I hope with all my heart that someday, we will be together again.
Thank you and blessed be, Lynn

My tears will never stop flowing for you.
You were the perfect cat,my baby forever, I miss you more each day.
I love you.

Pat Pintano

Kjell, Kim, Emilie, Allison and Jennifer, our hearts go out to you, as you suffer this loss. May the rainbows you see in the future bring fond memories of your loving, devoted Tabby.

Aunt CeCe

TABITHA
YOU GAVE ME ALMOST 14 YEARS OF LOVE AND JOY. NO OTHER CAT CAN TAKE YOUR PLACE, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY TIBBY TAB, LOVE YOU FOREVER MY PERFECT BABY.

Patricia Pinto

Tabitha, you were my beloved friend through many rough times.
I'll cherish the love you gave me for 11 years and I'm forever grateful that you were in my life.
I will always love you.
Until we meet again....

Anne Marie Burke

You'll always remain in our hearts.

Sue Deran

Miss Tabby ruled my heart and my home for 20 years, her spirit will remain in my heart forever.

Sandy Kulbatsky

Tabitha passed into God's hands on Friday March 23, 2007 at 5:15 pm (CDT). She was in her daddy's arms and mommy was next to her. She was unconditional love, she knew nothing more or less. She was the love of my wife and my life. Her dear friend and mate Samantha (also a Westy) is grieving in her own way. I know Tabitha is with GOD and is whole again and is not suffering.

Tabitha Mommy and Daddy miss you terribly and life will never be the same without you.

Love,

Mike and Jill

Tabitha was with us for 16 years and was put to rest at 6:30 am this morning ( 2-11-07 ) after complications from cancer. We only discovered the cancer Saturday night after rushing her to our animal emergency center for difficulty breathing and dehydration. She hadn't eaten in almost 4 days. She had fluid on her stomach and cancer that was pressing on her windpipe and causing her extreme difficulty breathing and almost impossible for her to eat. They were able to drain the fluid from her stomach to make her comfortable and she came home with me shortly before midnight. I stayed up with her all night while she slept in my arms and by 6 am she could barely breathe and were unable to do anything more for her. Up until the last 2 weeks she had hardly been ill at all in her life and this was a shock to us all. We will miss her terribly as she a great blessing to us and we loved her dearly.

Crystal Bond

For the 17 years that you lived, you brought me more happiness than ever recalled.
You were so small when I got you and up until you passed, you were still small.
You will be dearly missed by me and your 4 "brother" cats.

Lucretia Darnell

Death came swiftly to you my lovely girl, it was a shock but better that way than suffering. My love to you always my little griddlebone.

Anne O'Shea

A beautiful part Calico cat of only 5, my beloved Tabitha was struck down by kidney failure on Sunday, March 18.
The Veterinarians and Technicians at the Veterinary Referral Center did everything they could to save my precious baby. Alas, her frail little body did not respond to treatment as we had hoped. She was suffering greatly. So with love, prayers, and thanksgiving I gave her into God's care on Monday the 19th.

For anyone who knows me, you know this decision was not easy. It was one fraught with many tears of sadness; we definitely had the vet and nurses of the hospital crying. As Tabby gently picked her head up to nuzzle me, for what was to be the last time, I could see the difficulty she was having and hear her laboring breaths. It had to be the hardest decision I have ever made. I always thought she would be with me for another 15 years or so.

As I sat there, I remembered all of the things she did that brought such joy and light into my life. How she gracefully jumped up onto the window sill to escape my other cat, Sam; how she writhed and purred with delight while I combed her fur; and how she would climb on top of me while I was still sleeping and meow loudly to wake me up at the stroke of 6. I will always remember all of the fun we had playing together when she was a mere kitten. So tiny and playful, Tabby would hide in small spaces and we would play catch my paw/hand. We formed a bond way back then that is so very special to me, and I could go on and on. I thanked God as I sat there for each and every one of my many memories.

I was truly blessed when I found her that night at the SPCA; I knew from one glance she was my cat. Tabitha loved me so unconditionally, which I always appreciated. She was an angel who helped me though some of my toughest days, always bringing me love, laughter, and comfort. I gave her as much love as I could in return.

And what brings me the most comfort now is that God has given Tabitha a special new home somewhere in the universe. I hope that it will bring as much peace, love and happiness, or even more, than we shared. I'm not too sure what it was that took the life from her, perhaps she just needed to go be with someone else who needed this gentle, caring soul.

Wendy L. Weston

You are missed every waking hour...May you know how much and even more how much your mommy loves you.

Angelina & Scott Wilson

Taco, I love you and miss you so much baby boy.
The holidays are coming and I just wish I could hear you walking in all the wrapping paper.
I would do anything to hold you in my arms and kiss you and tell you how much I love you.
You will always and forever be my best friend, my soulmate.
Watch over us Snick.
Love, Tiffany

Taco, our little boy:
We love you and miss you so very much.
We are so proud of you, and so very sorry.
Wait at Rainbow Bridge for us, and we will see you in a while.

Sherry and Kristen Barron

You were my best friend, my little angel, my precious sweet little boy.
No one will ever replace you.
Let my love lift you up to heaven.
Wait for me there in paradise, as you were in health.
Gone from my life, but never gone from my heart.
Until we meet again.

Natalie Fayman

Tad, you have been such a faithful friend for so many years. I miss you so, and you will be in my heart forever. Rest well, my sweet Taddy.

Cindi Roberts

She was our "Taffy Doodles" as we affectionately called her.
She was the sweetest cat and loved to climb up on my shoulders, kissing my neck and purring in my ear as if to say, "I love you."
Well, we miss and love you too, sweet Taffy Doodles.
Rest in peace dear one.
Hopefully you are playing happily with Solomon now.
We miss him too.
Love, The Friedman Family
(Beth, Michael, Robyn Friedman)

Taffy was my aunt and uncles dog. She LOVED food and didn't try and hide it! She was so cute and chubby and lived a good long life. My aunt didn't have it in her to have her put to sleep so Taffy died at home, warm on her blanket knowing that everything was okay and that she was loved. This is for you Taffy....xoxo

Jason

My son and I found Taffy in an outlet mall parking lot when she was very small.
We brought her home in a shoe box and she adopted us immediately.
She had many adventures during her short life; she even ran away from our boarder's home while we were on vacation last year.
It took us 13 days to find her but she was alive and well, suprisingly.
She developed an infection from another cat's bite and despite intervention, she passed away this morning in my arms.
God's speed Taffy and your friend Tink is waiting for you as you cross over.
I will love you always.

Diane Schefers

My Dear Sweet Taffy you suffered so much the last few years with all your health problems.
With you passing away today I am having a hard time keeping it together.
I miss you and will always love you so much.
You were my "shoo, shoo" and you will forever have your paw print on my heart.
Be at peace Taffy and I hope you are running around and playing with Cody & Echo right now.
Love Always, Ma Ma

Taffy was a wonderful pet, she was always by my side, she was there when no one else was. I loved her very much, and will miss her the rest of my life, nothing will ever replace her.She was suffering and had no quality of life. I knew it was time to let her go, she died peacefully, and now I picture her running and playing in the sunshine. I miss her.

Pat Claflin

You,ve been gone a year now,and your Daddy's heart is still broken.....You left a special impact on us all,and a void that can never be filled......"play nicely each day with Allie,and all your human friends...but don't forget to meet me at Rainbow Bridge,when my life ends"

Pegi, Jim, Carriann, and Jimmy Isman

Taffy was a faithful companion and friend. She loved to go in the car with us. She loved our kids. She slept with us. She was great and we miss her dearly.

Taffy we love you and miss you much and will see you again.

Love Doug, Laurie, Meagan, Kaylen and Logan

Dearest Pree,

May you never feel any pain, may you no longer be lonely, may you play to your hearts content with your sister, and may you have an endless supply of catnip. You will be missed and loved always.
I know you have been gone for almost 2 years but not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you.

Rob and Beth Weiss

Taffy Lou-You won my heart and soul with your cute little ways and funny little bark.
We became soul mates and I could always rely on you being there close by my side. You became a true friend and companion for life during the good times and the bad. I could always depend on you to listen to my problems and always understand. But when it became time for you to go a big part of me and my heart went with you.
Love Your Mom

Robert/Jo Anne Mallano

I would like to pay tribute to my beautiful collie, that is loved more than anyone may know. We miss you cocking your head when we tell you about going to the trailer and riding the golf cart. The trailer will never be the same without you. Our home will never be the same either. We love and miss you so much. You were so faithful to us. We are all so sad, and are so sorry we had to leave you go. I feel like my heart went with you. It has been very hard on daddy, as he misses you so much when going for a walk without you, and Kenny and big Dave will miss you so much too. And Meghan Kate lil Dave and Lil Kenny will always remember you. Thanks for the good times we all shared together. Please be at the rainbow bridge when we get there. We love you so much Taffy. I miss you soooooo much. I love you and thank you again for all your love. Nosey misses you too so much. Goodnight sweetheart. Love and hugs and kisses from all of us.

Tag was as a stray that decided my home was the right place to make his home and he was right.
He warmed my heart as well as my neighbors.
Tag was a special cat with an attitude but such a big heart.
He loved to be rubbed and loved.
My heart is broken over the loss of my kitty.

Deborah

On August 16 of 1993 I held her tiny form shortly after she entered this world.

I watched her grow.
When her older sister died in 1997 I let her into my heart. I took her to the shows. I then cradled her kittens.
She returned my trust and love and, gave back more.
She gave my apartment warmth and life.
She gave me comfort in my loneliness.
I watched her grow older, arthritis settling into her hip.
I made adjustments to my room, gave her easier access to my bed.
She ruled my room, my bed, and my heart.
I found ways to get her to take medicine that did not stress her.
She trusted me to the end.

Quiet, fussy, sweet, demanding, giving, stubborn, shy, bold, a paradox bundled in red and white fur.

In February 2007 I held her head, looking into her eyes, whispering to her as she breathed her last.

I am more the richer and better for having known her spirit.

“Farwell Kay-Kay, my sweet Kay-baby, you will be missed.
I hope you and Mocha are having fun playing together.
I will see you again, I am sure.”

Kat Ross

Too short, my little bear. May you find someone to love again.

S'Brina Smith

Mommy will miss you so very much Tahoe. I know you are in heaven now healthy and happy!! You were my pride and joy. The best cat ever! I know someday we will see each other again. I love you!!
Mommy

My wife and I have no children, but we have had this lovely dog for 14.5 years.
Today, about an hour ago we took her to the vet to end her fight against cancer.
She was the best friend I could have imagined, she was "my little buddy".
She has only passed within the hour and I am at a loss for how to feel... I have guilt, love, pain and sorrow.
I wish there were only someway to keep them around longer without the pain and suffering.
She was and will always be a remarkable part of our lives... Thank you to anyone whoreads this and think of her during the Monday vigil.
I will be sure to show up as well.
Thank you for this outlet of expression.
Tim & Anne Beatty

Taj was not only our beloved pug, but our baby and best friend. He is missed greatly and will never be replaced in our hearts. We will never forget how much our little "sir" taught us. We can't wait to meer again.

Shelley Rezai

My special furry boy passed away after a sudden, short but severe illness - feline leukaemia and lymphoma with complications. At just 2 years old it seems so unfair. He was the most amazing cat who brought me indescribable joy. His confidence, independence and love endeared him to everyone who had the priviledge of meeting him. I believe Taki was a furry angel sent to help me in a difficult time of my life, and now someone somewhere else needs him more. Taki my darling, I love you infinitely and miss you so much. All the neighbours and their kitties and pups send lots of love and miss you too, as do Granny and Grandpa. You are the best kitty ever and God will look after you now. Thank you for being my wonderful boy for two years and for helping me and loving me. Be a good boy and enjoy the peace, love and eternal happiness that you deserve in heaven. Lots and lots of love and chin tickles my kitty-pops, from your Mum xxxxxxxx

So young and with such a big heart
Did I fail you - I tried so hard - maybe I could have done more - please forgive me
We miss you little black dog

Run free - feel the wind and run free

Julie Stone

Tala had many health problems, but she was so full of energy.
Tala will be missed.

Brittany Dawson

My beautiful, sweet Tootle Bug.
Your passing was so unexpected and sudden, and we miss you SO much already.
Our lives were made better simply by your presence.
I can't imagine that there will ever be another who will fill the place in my heart that you did so completely.
Thank you for all you gave to us, without ever asking for anything in return.
We will always love you.

Mandy Telgenhoff

For half my life, she had been with me.
Always there to cheer me up whenever I felt low.
She gave me her love unconditionally and I will always hold her memory in my heart.

Tally Ho and Bo Duke were father and son.
Bo had sezizures and suffered with them and only got worse as the months went on. I had to realize I didn't have enough money to help him when I am on disablity myself, but I had faith God would do what's best for Bo and he took him to heaven.
Last night my beloved 'Tally Ho' passed away on my kitchen floor. He had been acting sick, but then he got better and wham, hewhied one time and he was gone. So now Father and son are with The Father and his son, that's where I'd like to think of they're all waiting for me welcoming me home and with warm hugs and kisses(From my dogs of course) God be us and with them until we see oe another again. I'll miss them everyday.

I was a year old when we got Tam. He was the best friend I ever had. 16 years on I still miss him and there is still a large hole in my life of which he used to fill.

To Our Beloved Cat,
We will miss you very much. You brought happiness, joy, and comfort to us all and for that, we will NEVER forget you. May you run, play, eat, and rest easily wherever you are. You will ALWAYS be in our hearts and prayers.

To My Sweet Baby Girl! May your spirit live in peace. We will love you always.

Tamar was a family cat, one that had been in our family for the past 16 years.
She lived a very full life, being able to do things most cats don't get the change to do.
She has had a litter of kittens, she has lived as an outdoor/inside cat as the hunter (always brining back her daily kill to show us), on a farm (always chasing the birds to get a reaction out of them and dad), by the lake (with mom during the divorce) and lastly, she went out of this world as an uptown girl (retiring in a new city with me, two cat sisters, one brother dog and a wonderful new human father).
She lost one cat sister last winter and took on the roll of bathroom faucet water drinker, cheese theif, and controling the little (yet much larger) brother.
Not to mention her amazing gaurding skills when brother got a new beef bone that ended up becoming Tamar's. She was a great video game couch, a good snuggler, and one sassy cat all the way.
She will be greatly missed and her memory will be honored every single day.

We love you Tamar!
Thank you for being the wonderful lady you are!

Love: Momma Lyndsay, Daddy Michael, Kaiya and Kuma

She was a complete lady in life and in death.
I will miss her greatly.

Tammie was a very good companion for 17 years – not always cooperative with me, but then cats are known to have minds of their own.
But she would sometimes curl up on my lap, or stretch on the recliner feet between my legs,,or curl on my shoulders around my neck.
When my mother died, one thing that helped me from worse depression was the need to take care of Tammie.
Also, not knowing how she would be cared for helped me resist the idea of being hospitalized.

About a year ago we discovered she had an inoperable tumor around her kidney.
At first, the vet said it was probably a matter of days before she would need to be put to sleep.
But Tammie surprised us all.
Even up to he last few days, she still had vim and vigor and showed signs of the kitten she had been.
Eventually, she stopped eating and kept looking for places to hide.
I found her wedged behind some boxes in my closet, and she had to have worked hard to get there – at least climb over several large boxes.
I hope she was peaceful at the end.

I will miss her.

My beautiful "Big Girl" Tammy has left our family so heartbroken.
I'll never forget her or how I met her. In 1999 on my way home from work, I spotted her laying down in company yard used to store empty shipping containers.
She was so frightened of people and obviously abused and dumped in this semi-desolate area.
She was a beautiful white dog about 50 lbs, about 10 or 15 lbs underweight, breed unknown but appeared to be part shepherd and husky to me.
She had an under-bite. I figured whoever owned her dumped her because she was considered a defective dog.

Although, the vet figured she was maybe five years old, her front
teeth were badly worn almost down to the gums.
Again an assumption on my part, I believe she may have been imprisoned and tried to chew her way out. I would try daily to befriend her, but it took probably over year before she would trust me. I stopped and tended to her on my way to and from work.
I actually befriended another dog I named Buddy that was her mate, although she never had puppies that I know of.
Buddy would let me pet him and I would feed him and would leave food for her also, but she hung in the background until I got in my car to leave before she would eat the food.
She would watch me feed and pet Buddy for several months. Again my assumption is that she was smart enough to see that Buddy knew I was okay and finally started trusting me, but ever so cautiously.
An obvious sign of abuse to me. She would also spend a lot of time scratching until her white coat was bloody.
Then when I gained her full trust she just laid down on her side with her paws upward, as if to say "your okay, now go ahead and rub my belly for me".
She loved those belly rubs from then on.

I kept Tammy well nourished and her skin problem soon cleared up.
When I would leave her treats I'd watch her hide them for later, since I was determined she would never go hungry.
I always made sure she had extra.
I already had a dog, but my wife and I decided to take her in and nurse her back to health and give her good life.
I noticed she seemed lame, but didn't know the cause.

Finally, I was able to lure her into my car with a piece of meat.
I took her to get her to the SPCA for examination and shots.
We were still concerned about her lameness,
so I took her to my vet and he took x-rays.
He showed them to me and I could only imagine how she suffered. She was evidently hit by a vehicle.
Her upper left leg had broken completely in half.
The lower half slipped upward 2 or 3 inches, then mended itself to the upper half, making her 2 or 3 inches shorter in that leg.
She also had a cracked hip joint.
With pain pills, glucosamine, lots of loving care she managed well and was happy.
Flexi-Min seemed to work better than the doggy type glucosamine and it isn't that expensive at Wal-Mart.
I'm sure some days were not good for her, but I know she was so happy to have a loving home.
This is a dog that hardly never wagged her tail until I took her in our home.
We made her a house dog and she automatically seemed to know to do her business outside the entire 8 and a half years we had her.

A little over a year ago, we noticed something was wrong when Tammy started drinking large quantities of water.
Sometimes she would have to drink about every 30 minutes or so.
Her stomach was so bloated from the excessive water. While this doesn't always mean something serious, it warrants being brought to the attention of a vet.
Tammy was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer on one of her anal glands.
I thought it was over for her then, but the vet referred me to an oncologist who removed the tumor.
We thought her operation was successful as it was determined through a biopsy that all the cancer was removed.
But we were warned that this was an aggressive form of cancer and it was subject to returning within 6 to 18 months.
Well about 8 months later we were informed that the cancer returned.
This time it was two tumors.
Then we knew the end was near.
The oncologist helped us get her through last good quality days; with medical advice and steroids to boost her strength and appetite. but then there came the time when her appetite shut down and her weakness naturally got worse.

The day my son Mark called me at work and told Tammy was going downhill fast hurt and made me realize I had to make that painful decision.
My wife and I talked it over and I called the vet and told her it looked like Tammy's time was nearing and end and we didn't want her to start suffering. We requested to have Tammy euthanized. It hurt so much to make that call.
We still torture ourselves that maybe we acted too quickly.

rWe had the vet make a house call, since Tammy was too heavy (about 70 lbs) and too weak to get into my car.
I'll never forget that horrible day 9/11/07.
We were saying our goodbyes in tears.
I remember one of my other 3 dogs Heather showing me she was so hurt by me loving up on Tammy before the vet arrived.
Heather then laid down right next to Tammy also wanting attention.
I remember kissing, hugging, and telling Tammy how much I lover her.
I remember my tears flooding my eyes so badly, I couldn't see Tammy clearly and told her so.

Sometimes as I walk through my house it seems like just for an instant I would see her laying down in one of her favorite spots.
Oh how I miss those beautiful tan eyes that followed my every step around the house.
Those eyes looking at me out of the window as I got our of my car.
Tammy will always be in our hearts and on our minds.
Her picture and urn sits atop of our armoire.

TAMMY'S STORY

My beautiful "Big Girl" Tammy has left our family so heartbroken.
I'll never forget how we met.
I would see her layhng down in a shipping container yard that was on my way to work.
She was a beautiful off white dog and looking like she'd been to hell and back.
She had and under bite and may have been dumped because she was considered defective.
Her front teeth were badly worn down to the gums.
I believe she may have been imprisoned and tried to chew her way out.
I tried to befriend her and it took probably over a year before I could get close to her.
There was another dog that was her mate, but she never had puppies that I knew of.
I named him Buddy.
I would feed him and pet him and she would watch in the background.
I would also leave food for her, but she hung in the background until I got in my car to leave before she would eat.

Tammy would spend a lot of time scratching herself until her white coat turned bloody.
I would always make sure she was watching me feed Buddy and pet him.
She finally caught on that I meant no harm.
I remember when she showed me her first sign of trust.
As I approached her, she laid down on her side as if to say "your okay now go ahead and rub my belly.
She loved those belly rubs from then on.

Tammy started limping badly before I rescued her.
I finally gained her trust enough to lure her into my car with a piece of meat. My vet x-rayed her legs to find out why she was limping so badly.
She was evidently hit by a vehicle.
The x-rays showed her upper left leg actually had broken in half.
The bottom half slipped up about 2 or 3 inches against the top half and mended together that way.
This made her about 2 or 3 inches shorter in the left leg. I can only imagine the suffering she went through. With medication and lots of loving care she did well for those wonderful 8 and a half years she gave us. This was a dog that hardly ever wagged her tail until we gave her a home.
We were determined to give her a shot at a good life. We made her a house dog along with our other 3 dogs.
She seemed to automatically know to do her business outside the entire 8 and a half years we had her. She took some work to get her accustomed to the sights and sounds of normal life.
She was very edgy in the beginning.
She was terrified of bouncing balls and when we would walk by people this had the same effect. She was obviously abused.

A little over a year ago we noticed Tammy drinking excessive amounts of water.
While this doesn't always mean it is something serious, it warrants attention from a vet.
Unfortunately, it was bad news.
Tammy was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer on one of her anal glands. We opted for an operation, which appeared to be successful, but about 8 months later we noticed she again started drinking excessive amounts of water.
Bad news again, the cancer was back. This time it was 2 tumors.
With medication she was able to have decent quality time for about another 4 months.
We called the vet when we thought it was time.
We
still get upset and somehow feel some guilt, as to weather we acted to soon to have her put down.
We had to have the vet make a house call, as Tammy was too weak to get in the car and too heavy (about 70 lbs). But even if I could pick her up it would have caused her pain.

I remember when I was telling her good bye and hugging and kissing her.
I'll never forget how my tears flooded my eyes so much, I couldn't see Tammy clearly through my tears.
One of my 3 dogs felt so hurt that I was giving Tammy so much attention, she laid right next to Tammy also begging for attention.
We had Tammy cremated and she sits atop of our armoire.
I will make a little memorial for her.
She was so beautiful and missed so much.

Ben

Tammy was a loving member of our family who was also a wonderful mother to her pups. She left us with Luke and Tess, who are great dogs because of her.
Although in congestive heart failure, she gave us 15 months more than we thought we had, because of her will to live and be a part of our lives.
She passed peacefully here at home on 10/12/07 and is missed terribly. She gave the best kisses!

Susan Withnell

Tammy had kidney failure she was a good cat she used to comfort me when i was sad when you were laying down she used to jump on your stomach, when you went near her she used to purr really loudly.
Tammy im missing you so much!:(

Lauren

A much loved little dog. God bless.

Lucy Barraud

Tandy passed over the Rainbow bridge this morning at 7:45am...he is missed and loved by all in the family...goodbye baby...

Kelly

Tang,you took a part of me with you the day you went to heaven.

Debbie Sutterfield

Tango, I am so sorry I never got a chance to say good bye to you.
Friends and family are saddened by you leaving us.
I hope you are happy on the other side.

Lisa Thompson

Tango was an outgoing independent little boy. He loved just being near me, sitting on my lap or just sleeping next to me. He was special and touched people’s heart that I wasn’t even aware of. He traveled allot with me, where ever I went he was with me and he loved long car rides.
He was the father to three puppies, one we kept and the rest we had to sell. The son we kept was named Cash. We had Cash for 10 years, but saddened that he passed away 3 yrs back due to cancer. I loved my baby so much and it rips my heart apart that he is gone. I prayed that GOD would have taken him while he slept, but that did not happen and I had to lay him to rest. I was with him till the very end, never leaving his side. He slept on my chest till it was time and he died in my arms so that he knew he was never alone and truly loved. He was and will forever be my lil-boo.

I love you Tango, always!

-Demian

We hear your pitter-patters all the time.
We feel you jumping up on the bed every night.
Can't wait until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Lynnette Cruz

Tango, you were the best Big Boy there was!
We will miss you forever...thank you for all the love you gave us!

JD House

Tanja was my beautiful, noble, brave malinois.
She was this wild rescue that I brought home in a whim, and she was instantly part of the family.
This was a dog who would have laid down her life for any of us.
She was my teacher and my friend.
I am a better person because she was in my life.
It was
my privilege to have her with me these past six years.
When she passed, it was my honor to be at her side.
I ache.
My friend is gone, but she lives in my heart.
Miss you Tanj.
Love you.

Stacey

Tank was a Foster Rottie, who blessed out family since August 5th, but was stricken with Parvo.
He fought for 3 days agenst this illness, with a white Blood cell count 1/100 of what it should have been.
He lost his fight this morning.
He leaves a Tank size hole in his foster mama's heart, and though he was with us only a few days, he is forever in our hearts.
Good Dog, Tank.
Mama loves you.

Best friend my husband and I had for 11 years.
My heart and soul for all that time. We have other dogs whom we love with all our hearts, but Tank was special.
Just the way he was.
(Very hard to put into past tense).
Always swore I'd never own a Dobie, but at just 7 weeks, when he earned his name, Tank grabbed my heart, and changed my mind.
We'd been best buds ever since.
I count the days until we meet across the Rainbow Bridge and are together again, along with several others furbabies we've known over the years.

Leslie C. Baker

To our BIG black bear hamster, Tank--you were a good hamster, and you will be missed.
We're sorry we weren't with you when you died.
We love you and hope you know that.
Rest in peace, old girl.

Courtney and Kevin O'Leary

I remember when you were born. You were the biggest of the litter. You used to knock the ithers over going between them, that's why we call you (Sherman) Tank. Rudy took care of you for a day or two since Maggie had a ceasarian. He's such a good Daddy Dog. That didn't stop after you after you started getting sick and when you passed away. He watched over you until we buried you.
A little part of you left us when your mom (Maggie)died and you never were the same. Well, you left us yesterday and we will never be the same. You were part of this crazy family and now a piece is missing. I no longer have my shadow to follow me around. I will never forget how you stayed by my side when I was sick. I will never forget you.
Now you are with Maggie again, free from pain, no longer misunderstood. I will see you again my friend. We love you,
Your Human and Sheltie Family

Tank was a very fun loving friendly dog.
The nicest, sweetest dog one could ever meet.
He wasn't just a dog, he was our boy.
You will be missed by many...always in our hearts.
Rest in peace my boy.

Tanner William was the child I never had.
He came to us at 8 wks old, during the first year of marriage, and when I underwent a radical hysterectomy - no children for us.
Tanner William became my soul mate.
He captured the hearts of everyone who met him.
We rejoiced in his arrival with us, providing the BEST home, care, and love possible during his short little life.
He was agonizingly taken from us at the tender age of 4 years, 7 months by Lymphoma.
The sudden onset of a vicious, unforgiving, fast-spreading cancer.
Spending time with my baby was more important that working, and at times, visitation began at 4 a.m. and I would lay in the crate with Tanner and we would fall asleep.
We desperately forwarded $975.00 to begin his first round of chemo.
His blood work came back 'normal' and the lumps seemed to have shrunk significantly.
However, a couple days later, he was yet again faced with IV's, nausea and diarrhea ...... ooohhhhh, his little eyes ......... my heart, just aches, ripping with the pain of seeing his state .... oh the wind gets knocked right out of me ..... they wouldn't allow me to see him for 1 day, when I did, his little mouth was crusty, his bib and band-aid little arm and paw were covered with stomach upset and his back end was flowing like a tap ...... It was time to say 'goodbye' .... and you know, I can't even go on with this tribute ... it is only been 1 week and 2 days ...since .... I can't talk about it .... I can't even type about it ......... ooooohhhhhh the pain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry.
I'll have to continue this another time.
sincerely, devestated, broken hearted ......

Sandra Carter-Beal

My Baby Boy Tannis,

I will never forget the day I adopted you and your brother. As soon as you saw me walked into the kitten room you did everything you could to get my attention. I brought you home and loved you as much as I could for 11 1/2 years.

You where a very special angel in my life and I miss you more than you could ever know.

I know your brother misses you as well. He waits for you by the food dish and sleeps in your favorite spot. We cry together a lot.

I could never bring myself to imagine you leaving us, but I know your in a better place.

Say Hi to Mom for me.

I love you.

Goodbye baby.

Alanna Weatherley

Tanoshii had a strong, constant heart that included everyone he ever met.
All the neighborhood children knew him by name and most grew up with him.
He would go outside and scratch on their doors to see if they could come out and play.
Even children afraid of large dogs came to love him very quickly.
He is greatly missed.

Chris

My beautiful Tanya, how much I love you and always will.
You brought such joy to our lives and we miss you so very much even now after all these years.
You brought us a new baby after you left and he filled our home and hearts with much joy and pleasure.
We thank you.
He is now at the bridge with you.
We love you Tanya.

Linda Tsatskowski

My beautiful girl...I miss you more than words can say and I was so not ready to say goodbye.
Take care of our Tarbaby.
You were such a good girl and we were blessed to have you in our lives even though the time was way too short.
I love you.

Jennifer

Have you ever had a “spook” dog? Who knew what a gift that could be – it’s like watching a rose bud bloom into the most beautiful flower. Tapsy came into our lives well over 7 years ago; we set him free from pain November 28, 2007 at 4:00. His head was cradled in my arms with his Daddy and I telling him what a good dog he was and how much he was loved.

It took Tapsy over three days to let his new Daddy get any where near him. He loved his crate those first few days in the house, didn’t know what to make of sliding glass doors and has been the only dog to rip a leash right out of my hands and run from me during a July 4th neighborhood party. Once Tapsy learned to love his Daddy, there was NO turning back. They became the BEST of buddies. In fact, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen your spouse down on the floor teaching a dog to jump up on the bed! For 7+ years, Tapsy slept right smack in between DH and I even using Barry’s pillow for his head!

Old timers on the "L" may remember Tapsy’s first vet humiliation. I insisted he had a tumor on his unit. So – contact the vet and in we go. Well, the “tumor” was the part of his “unit” that keeps the male dog attached to the female dog while “partying”. Never having had a male dog (without fur there), I was convinced this beautiful creature was going to be leaving us as soon as he came to us. I’ll have you know, to this day, that particular vet STILL tells that story anytime he sees us! Then there’s the first time he met Karen McDonnell from The Goldenhound. We were at the PG Inc reunion picnic at Pinchot Park. Karen had her lovely jewelry on a reasonably stable folding table (the 6 foot kind). Well, I guess Tapsy decided he wanted to personally pick out a piece of jewelry for his mommy. The next thing we knew – there’s Tapsy on TOP of the table which quickly proceeded to collapse, sending jewelry everywhere. Tapsy fell, I stepped backwards and on to Shania who screamed like she was being murdered.

The stories could go on and on. Now, if only their lives could go on and on. Tapsy was diagnosed on the 16th of the month with Wobblers’ Disease; we were back at the vet’s on Thanksgiving Eve convinced we were losing him that night but we tried one more, stronger dose of meds. He improved slightly over the weekend for his follow up vet visit on Monday. Unfortunately, he went the exact opposite direction on Tuesday and it was becoming clear it was time. The vets now believe there was something more going on than just his spine. It’s funny – I always write to people letting them know what a wonderful gift they have given to their pet for making that final decision; it’s better to go one day too early than one day too late. All greyt words and I do believe but, boy, I just want to scream in agony right now – isn’t that selfish?

Run free and happy my sweet boy; I saw you today in my mind’s eye and you were galloping through a field – you were as beautiful as ever. I will take comfort in your pictures and my memories. My life is better for having been loved by you.

Karen Young

I lost my beautiful faithful freind today. She was my substitute child and I miss her so bad. I will always love her.

Beth

We rescued Tara 3 years ago.
She was a beautiful chocolate standard poodle who was used as a breeding dog.
When we got her she was really thin and was afraid of everything.
She taught us many things and we will miss her so.
Tara Bridget was very ill and she stayed with us as long as she could.
We love you Tara!<3

He always said hey that's my little Sweet Pee she's my girl Tara!! We miss you lots Sweet Pee!

Kevin & Sarah

To my dearest Tarah, thank you for always being there for me during all phases of my life. You always did everything I asked of you with out complaints. You were the greatest companion I could ever and will ever have. My heart is so empty without you and our home is too quiet. You affected so many others with your loving temperment and wagging tail. I am glad you are not hurting any more. I did everything I could and forgive me if there was something that I was not aware of researching. I will love you forever....

Love, Mom, Dad, and Morgan

MY LITTLE TARBY, I LOVED YOU SO,
MY ONLY WISH IS HAD I BEEN THERE WOULD YOU HAD FALLEN IN THAT POOL, I KNOW YOU WERE SCARED AND WAS LOOKING FOR ME. REST IN PEACE BABY,
YOU WERE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE,

Jill Murphy

Targa our friend, we shared your lifetime together but you taught us so much about life, love, gratitude and dignity that we will never repay you.
Rest peacefully boy....

Mike & Meri

I had just got to get you to trust me Taro Patch. You and Boo already had that friendship, I thank you for trusting me and finally letting me pet you and love you for just this short time. You and I had seen each other for months, as I saw you hang out in the Taro Patch outside my kitchen. Hence your name. :) I really loved you little guy, as YOU adopted me and that means even more to me. Oh baby when I saw you yesterday, it just broke my heart! I didn't care if the cars hit me or not, as I WASNT going to allow another car to hit you baby. Your buried out next to the one that held my heart too.. I know that Sheba was there to pick you up with you got to heaven Taro Patch. Thank you for being apart of our lives for that short time. Amazing that a little kitty can steal your heart that fast... You will not be forgotten....

Jenny

Tash, Snowball, Lucky, mommy and Mike always loved you.
We miss you.
Even today I get tears in my eyes when I am thinking of you.
I did everything that I could for you. I was not ready to let you go so soon after Snowball, we were just trying to recover from loss of Snowball.
I and you were getting very very close after Snowball.
It seems you were taken away when I was not ready for you to go.
I will always love you and cherish you.
You were special in different ways to me than Snowball, but you had touched my heart and soul and we would try and sneak moments when Snowball was not looking so there would be no fights.
Now Lucky has passed away too, please play with Snowball and Lucky and take care of them.
Wishing you peach, wholeness of the life and come and visit me when you can.
You are most welcomed back whenever you want to come back.
Love you Always.

Kirti Patel

Our "Angel from Heaven" was a part of our family for over 14 years, coming to us just one year after our marriage.
As we frequently told her, she was "the sweetest dog who ever lived".
We were devastated to learn in February 2007 that she had a bladder tumor known as transitional cell carcinoma and that her time left with us was both uncertain in length, but certain in its eventual outcome.
We opted for conservative, rather than traumatic, aggressive treatment, choosing to love and pamper her even more than ever for whatever days she had left on this earth.
The end of her life came fairly quickly, but still we were never prepared for the pain and emptiness that it brought.
We still love her and miss her terribly, but the life lessons she taught us have made us all better people, and we will always be grateful to her for that.

Brad and Jan Sutter

My best friend.

Elizabeth

Tasha was one special pup.
I was so lucky to have her for 18 1/2 years.
We loved each other very much.
I always promised her I would be there with her in the end and tonight I kept my promise and helped her cross over.
I will miss her forever.

Patience

MY BELOVED PET. MY TASHA. I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS AS YOU PASSED FROM THIS LIFE. YOU WENT FROM LOVING ARMS TO LOVING ARMS. I'LL NEVER FORGET LOOKING INTO YOUR BLUE EYES THAT SEEMED TO LOOK RIGHT UNTO MY SOUL. THE WAY YOU LET ME KNOW YOU WANTED SOME PETTING. THE WAY YOU HOWLED. YOUR GENTLE NATURE. THE WAY I HAD TO HELP YOU STAND WHEN YOU COULDN'T GET UP BY YOURSELF. I'M SORRY MY TASHA BUT I
COULDN'T HANDLE SEEING YOU IN PAIN ANY MORE. IT WAS FOR THE BEST (AND THE HARDEST THING I EVER HAD TO DO) THAT I HAD TO PUT YOU DOWN I KNOW. BUT, KNOWING THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY EASIER. I'LL GRIEVE FOR YOU FOR A LONGTIME. I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU.

TASHA WAS A MY SIBERIAN THAT I RESCUED AS A STRAY. SHE CAME UP TO THE STORE WHERE I WORKED AND I GAVE HER SOME FOOD & WATER AND SHE HUNG AROUND. SOME PEOPLE WERE GETTING SOME GAS AND SHE GOT IN THEIR CAR. THEY PUT HER OUT AND I PUT HER IN MY CAR AND
KEPT HER FOR SEVEN YEARS. SHE GOT ALONG GOOD WITH MY LAB AND GODEN RETRIEVER AND MY GOLDEN/CHOW MIX... PLUS MY CAT. ALL OF THESE PETS WERE RESCUED BY ME AND MY WIFE THE CAT CAME FROM A DUMPSTER AND THE OTHER DOGS WERE GIVEN TO ME. SHE LOVED TO GO FOR WALKS. SHE LOVED TO "SCUFFLE AND TUSSLE." WITH ME OR THE OTHER DOGS.

Milis Edmonds

Dear Tasha.
Your mommy and I mish you so much.
I want to thank you for bringing so much love and happiness to my moms life. She is very sad. I feel bad that I didn't realize how much I loved you until I got to moms house and you were not there to greet me at the door like you alway's did when I came to visit. I went with her today to pick up your ashes.
It was really hard for both of us.
Until we meet again little lamb.
R.I.P.
Love, Dianna

Nickname: Tasha Boots

When Tasha was a kitten she would get stuck in her fathers Cowboy Boots. This is where she got her nickname.

Tasha was a big sister to her two brothers: Oscar & Henry.
She was a big sister to her new little sister: Shelbie Lynn.
They loved Tasha, and enjoyed her company.
They always new that Tasha was looking out for them, and protecting them.
They will miss their sister!

Tasha was a great cat.
She enjoyed laying in the window basking in the sun.
She enjoyed watching the birds flying around, and enjoyed watching the dogs in the neighbors driveway.

Tasha was a great indoor family cat.
Her father and mother will miss her. Her family will miss having her around during all the family functions.
She will be missed at night when we are all gathered as a family watching tv.

We Will Miss You Tasha!!

We Will Always Love You!!

George and Rosann R

Our Tasha was just a little ball of black fuzz when she came to us 15 years ago...such a loving, faithful friend.
She gave so much of herself to us - she listened to our problems and worries with concern as we hugged her to our chests, she licked away the tears when we sobbed our hearts out to her,
she made us laugh when we need cheering up.
"TaTa" was always there for us.

It hurts for her to be gone to the Rainbow Bridge.

Theresa Tagle (Tess)

we still love you

Geprgine

To our beautiful Tasha girl.
We are here with heavy hearts missing you as words cannot describe. You were so kind, loving, funny, and full of life....what an empty space we have in our hearts now.
You gave us 14 1/2 incredible years and we are so thankful and blessed for the time you have given to us. But what keeps us going is that we know you are at the Rainbow Bridge running, running, running...something you have not been able to do for the last few years as your hips could not handle your speed any longer.
We cannot wait to see you again in Heaven and full of life.

We Will Love You Always.

The Russo Family

You are still sorely missed and will always be in my heart as long as I have breath.
I look forward to seeing you at the rainbow bridge, so we can enter heaven together.

Mrs. June Haupt

Tasha, you were fine up until six weeks ago when you started acting like something was wrong with you. We took you to the vet and found out you had diabetes. The insulin was not working. Your body resisted it. Your doses were increased four times until you reached the maximum you could be given. You had some okay days and some bad ones. More bad than good. Your last weekend was actually the best one you had and then you stopped eating. You would only drink water and you couldn't keep it down. By Tuesday you were breathing hard and could barely stand. Letting you go was the hardest thing I ever did. I would have given my life to save yours. I want to thank you for loving me the way you did. I never knew what the saying "a dog is a man's best friend" really meant until you came into my life. You are the best friend I ever had. I can only hope that our time apart is short. Wait for me and remember me. The next time I see you, we will be together forever. I love you.... Your Dad

Tasha, it has been more than a year - I still miss you terribly. Ten years was not enough. You were such an ambassador for your species and breed, for you crossed that species barrier and taught me the meaning of unconditional love. Elena and I will always love you and miss you, though at this very moment I am absolutely sure you are loved so much by our wonderful God.
Wait for us, my sweetheart. We'll be there when the Lord decides.

Mike Holt

We found you as a stray - you stole our hearts and entered our lives for 10 wonderful years. You were the sweetest, most loving cat, and we'll miss you terribly. Play at the Rainbow Bridge with Callie, Charley, Chloe, Tristan and Isolde. All our love.

Sheila, Ron and Alex Thorsen

My baby Tashie was only born with one working kidney which I found out the evening of April 25, 2007 when I took her to the emergency animal clinic for lethargic behavior. Her remaining kidney had kidney stones which moved into the tube between the kidney and bladder blocking urine flow. After a couple days of tests, we found out that too much damage had been done to her kidneys, and I had to put her down. It was the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. I held her on my lap and talked her into eternity. As soon as she was gone, I felt this overwhelming sadness that doesn't feel like it will EVER go away. She was only five, and five years wasn't enough. I am trying to keep a positive outlook knowing that Jesus gave me 5 healthy years with her despite the unknown birth defect. Although I had pets growing up, "T" was MY first pet. My only comfort is in the Rainbow Bridge knowing she is in Heaven with my grandparents and former pets waiting for me. I love you and miss you, and I will NEVER forget you. Thank you baby!!

Mikala

You were my "amazing dog" and will forever be in my heart and your family's hearts.

Illyce Williams

Our beautiful, courageous, wonderful girl.
We will miss you so much.
You enriched our lives with your devotion, loyalty, and unconditional love.
You were beautiful inside and out.
We will miss you so very much.
May you be free from pain and run in joy with Sachi, E.Z. and Ebby.
We will always love you and remember you forever.
Till we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Sharon Cohen

Tasha Love,

You were the most amazing pet I have ever had. You gave me unconditional love even when I didn't deserve it. You were the sweetest, most beautiful angel I have ever been lucky enough to know. You will forever remain in my heart adn will never ever be forgotten. I hope we can meet again in Heaven.

Love,

mommy

I loved you more than you can ever know. I miss you so much! When we meet again, it will be a wonderful time for us!

Angela

To my Tasha girl, my Tasha Momma, and all the other names I have given you over the years,

There will never be another like you,
I have always said that.
You could make anyone smile with those big ears of yours and your one of a kind personality.
I remember the first day I got you when Mom suprised me.
I was so excited.
I could not have asked for a better dog.
You have been there for me through everything, consoled me when I cried and got excited when I was happy.
It was so hard to leave you when I moved away, but you were home and that is where you needed to stay.
Mom always treated you like the Queen,
I knew that was what was best for you.

I have so many wonderful memories with you that I will carry with me forever.
I hope you enjoyed your time with us and much as we enjoyed our time with you.
I hope you know how much I loved you, and last, I hope you know how much I miss you now that your gone.
One day I will see you again.
I love you Tasha Girl.

Love always and forever,
Melissa

Tasha, it has been only 2 days and I can't stop crying. I know that you belonged to my daughter and I made her leave you here when she grew up but this was your home and you would not be happy in an apartment. You were so funny with those big ears. I watched you get worse with the cancer and I was the one that had to make the decision to send you to heaven but I couldn't watch you suffer. You were so loved by us and anybody that met you. We had you for 11 of your 13 years and i thank God for that.We have cried a lot of tears and just miss you so much. But I know that God has you now and that one day we will see you.
Love you Tasha
Melissa and Bonnie

as much as i loved her i had never relised how much i loved her untill she was gone. Id always been 2 busy 4 her and now i wish i was there 4 her when she needed me most.she was old, really old and of corse i wasint home when she past on because that would be asking 2 much out of me. she died of old age and i never paid atetion 2 her. i never relised how much i had really loved her and how much i should have shown her i loved her.

tasha im sorry and i wish i could tell u how much i love u because i love you more than life itself and i realise it now. if i had just one last day with you id die a happy person. but i guess its 2 late all because its my fault.

Samantha

FAREWELL TASHA WE MISS YOU LOTS, MOM, DAD, KENNY,SANDY, AND MIKE

Though it has been a long time since I lost you I think about you and miss you all the time.
All of the others I love cannot replace the hole in my heart from you.
You were always one of my "special" girls.
Dottie is getting old and I know you two will be together again too soon for my liking since she has cancer now too.
I know you are waiting for me and will have lots of company by then.
I love you still.

Sherrilea

I miss you more than anything you were my true soul mate. You were my reason to live through some very difficult times. You knew whenever I needed you to cuddle with me and you gave me more love than any person ever has. You were a cuddlier and attention seeker and you made many people happy through your therapy dog visits. You had separation anxiety and followed me around like a shadow until near the end. I miss you lying up against my back with your entire back and then you pushing to get even closer. I miss you wrapping yourself around my head during night time thunderstorms. Your "sister" Pandora's passing in Feb. 2006 helped me to prepare for your passing but you are both tremendously missed. I lost my two best friends within the same year. I will see both you Tasha and your sister Pandora some day on the other side of the rainbow bridge. Your much younger "sister" CindyLou is watching over me now here on earth but I miss you tremendously! I love you Tasha and Pandora!

Suzanne Tardif

My sweet Tasha,

I can't believe it has been now over a week since I last saw you, before I had to make that choice I wish I never had to have made. :(
You have been placed up the back-garden on the hill underneath the willow tree, over looking the back-garden and the house.

Pa made you a plague with the letter T on it which has been placed on-top of where you have been buried.
Today at 1.05 PM I was with you darling, the exact same time when your beautiful heart stopped beating exactly a week early.

I miss you so much, during the days I am trying to keep myself busy but at nights I find it harder.
At times I want to visit you in the middle of the night, dig you up and hold you in my arms again.
I wish I could turn back the clock for my own selfish reasons.
Did I do the right thing?
Should I have waited a few more days?
I love you so much I did not wish you to suffer, the last time I saw you, you were still the beautiful little girl I fell in love with over 12 years ago as a kitten in the pet shop.

I wished I could have been brave enough to have held you while you were put to sleep, right up until the moment I was going to do that for you but I was too much of a mess. I did not want you sensing how stressed I was baby.
Daddy Mike was with you and patted you right till the end.
That makes me feel a lot easier, you were not alone.

Tonight at dinner we were laughing at some of the memories we all have of you.
Gosh you filled all of our lives with so many wonderful times.
Memories I will always cherish and love.
I love you sweetie, I miss you we all do even Jessica is sad and misses you.
How about that?

I hope you have made it to Pebbles and Georgey and you are all together playing and as cute and cuddly as always.

Soon Brucey will be joining you, you did not know him in this earth but mummy is very close to his daddy.
His daddy is having a hard night tonight as tomorrow he has to put Bruce down as he has nose cancer and he hasn't much time before he gets very sick.
Please watch over Bruce, help calm him as he hates the vets, and greet him with sisterly love and friendship when he crosses over.
I know you will do this sweetie.

I must try and get some sleep now... I will play the video that I have of you the night before you went in to have the surgery.
You were so sick and not yourself in the video but still my little Tasha.
I look at it most nights and kiss your sweet face.
I am grieving you so much but have faith we will meet again.

I will visit you soon and talk to you... I love you baby girl.

With love, Mummy Belinda

Tasha lived 17 Happy Years and We will miss her!

Cathy

We love you and will miss you.

Ann., Tom, Matt, Amanda Blomquist

Tasha was rescued from underneath a house at 9 weeks old.
I knew she was my girl then.

She was a loyal, faithful and giving girl. Loving on children and protecting them while in her midst.

As her age and ailments caught up to her, she still, up until the last hour of her life, was ever so loving.

I miss you Tashie Marie.
I love you faithful girl.

Mommy

THANKYOU FOR BEING THERE FOR ALL THE GOOD AND BAD TIMES AND NEVER ASKING FOR MUCH IN RETURN. YOU CAME TO US BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE NO LONGER WANTED YOU TO LIVE WITH THEM AND THEY REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY MISSED OUT ON

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL MISS YOU BABY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hilary Wardell

Tasha was the most loving dog we ever owned. So
faithfull, happy and will never be able to be replaced.

Sharon Kennedy

I don't know the date of her birth but she came into my life on Mother's Day 2001.
She left this earth but not my heart on 09/12/2007.
She put up the good fight and never once complained. And I loved her.

Jeannette

MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE TASHIE
YOU WERE SUCH LOVING CARING
AND FAITHFUL LITTLE GIRL,
I AM SO SAD TO LOSE YOU
BUT I COULD NOT LET YOU SUFFER
YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

Eileen Waymouth

What a voice you had, it could brighten my day.
With a sweet little "wheet" when I opened the hay.
Tomatoes and seeds were your favorite things.
When I brought you these, you would actually sing.
Your sleek black fur and those jet black eyes,
To win that little heart was the ultimate prize.

God bless you little one!
We love you and miss you so...

Debra

Tasinica,my beautiful cat.Patchwork will take care of you.Love you both.Nadezda Lolin

Tassie was a regal little lady who graced us with her presence for 11 years.

Cathy Shipman

My Newfie... My princess: I can not tell you how much I miss you, How empty this house feels without you. Your Dad miss you a lot too. I hope you are in heaven and you will be watching us, loving us from there. We hope Grand Ma and Grand Pa, are with you, as your Dad say giving you burgers as she used to do. You were the most wonderful Dog ever, with that beautiful gentle personality. Your memory remain in our hearts and souls as everybody who met you. God bless you. I am waiting to see you again, My Loving Daughter. I Love You.

Martha

Tater, you filled a special place in each of our lives.
Your intelligence, nurturing, discussions and love will be greatly missed.
Our guest never had a better hostess, and we never had a better companion.
Take care of Pops for us until we all meet again.

Pat, Pat, Matt and Shasta

I miss you everyday but everyday I am one day closer to you.
I love you my baby tater
love your mary

Beloved Tater-Tot was a very unique pet. His presents seemed to light up and give a warm feeling to all he met. He was more than a dog,he seemed to have human traits, because he was treated like a son. He enjoyed car rides, walking around other places, visiting. Tater always had a smile, and a glow, especially after being grooomed. After he got groomed, he would prance as if to say "Look at me, I am really cute", and he was. His vet told us that he was a celebrity at the Animal Medical Center. If one of them walked by other dogs they had to look at the name tag, but with Tater-Tot they didn't, because of his personality. He was and always will be our pride and joy, and his spirit and memories will always live within us. On his passing he was 15 years, 3 months and 1 day old and weighted 6.1 pounds of love and joy.

Linda Mathewson, Art Conklin

DEAR TATI,
YOU WERE MY FIRST BORN CHILD, I DIDN'T CARRY YOU IN MY STOMACH BUT MY HEART. YOU GUARDED ME AGAINST BAD BOYFRIENDS, SNAKES ETC..ALL WITH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. YOU KNEW YOUR DADDY WAS THE ONE FOR ME AND GAVE ME YOUR APPROVAL. WHEN THE BABY CAME YOU WERE CONFUSED BUT STILL HAD LOVE. FOR ALL OF THAT I CAN NEVER REPAY YOU BUT I PRAY I GAVE YOU THE BEST LIVE POSSIBLE. YOU WERE THERE WHEN I WAS BROKE AND NEVER COMPLAINED JUST LOVED ME. MY SOUL IS TORN APART BECAUSE I WANT TO BE
WITH YOU IN HEAVEN BUT MY WORK HERE IS NOT DONE. I HAVE CHRIS AND YOUR DADDY HERE AND HAVE TO STAY. REMEMBER TO WAIT FOR ME, LOVE ALWAYS MOMMA, DADDY, CHRIS AND GRANDPARENTS(ALL CRYING TEARS FOR YOU)

My beloved Tatiana,

You left us three years ago and leaving an emptiness here at home. I miss you very much and I still see you around the house. I love you.
I hope you are with Reno now.

Angela Restrepo

Sweet puppy, I will miss you so much! I am so thankful to have known you for so long- nearly half of my lifetime. You stood by me through all the rough times in my life and you were a symbol of peace and happiness always. I cannot express how much you will be missed. I cannot express how much I love you. Feb. 10th, 2007 was a sad day for our little family. We are still grieving for you but I know in time, all of the happy memories will come back to me and one day we'll be together again. Tatum, you will always be in my heart. My sweet puppy. I miss you.

Dawn

Tawny,

You came home to let me help you and brought Gwen with you. You were inseperable for 15 years and she misses you terribly. I'm so sorry it took me days to get you to let me take to the vets and it was so painful for you. I miss seeing you everyday at the front step. Gwen will be with you soon. She has cancer. Tell her not to fight me so hard. She just stays under my bed and has her meals served there but she needs to come to you. She is lost without you. Send your strength to her. I love you.
Karen and everyone at Sanctuary Hollow

Tawny was our little rescue girl, she was 8 when we got her and 15 when she died. We loved her so much and she returned that love ten times over.
We miss you little girl.

Joanne

Taww, be strong my dear friend and run to Snowy.
Say hi to him and follow his lead.
You will always be held close to my heart.
Until we met again my friend....I love you.

My beloved cat Tayga passed away on her 22nd birthday, August 1, 2007.
This little angel came into my life when she was just 10 weeks old. I found her all by herself in a pet store curled up in a ball at the back of her cage.
I am so fortunate to have had this beautiful little friend in my life for almost 22 wonderful years. My heart is breaking.
The loss is unbearable and the pain I'm in is like no other.
I will never forget this precious little gift.

My sweet Tayga, you are now with beloved Tigger (Sept/26/83 to Dec/08/91).
Mommy and Tasha will love you and miss you forever. You will always be in our hearts.

Love,

Mommy and Tasha

Thank you Tayla for sharing your beautiful spirit with us for 19 years. We have been truly blessed with your sweet presence in our life and will treasure it always. I know you are looking forward to seeing Kazi's bright green eyes on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, there to meet you and bring you across touching noses all of the way. We are so happy that you will no longer be in pain and can spend your days playing in the tall grass and bathing in the sun. We look forward to joining you, Kazi and Brandy in that most beautiful place one day in the future. We love you dearly.

Chris & Charlie

Miss you.
You brought such joy.

Elizabeth Draghiceanu

Taylor, may you find happiness at the Rainbow bridge. You will be very missed~ Mom

Scott and Gretchen

Taylor, it hasn't even been 24 hours and your loss is unbelievable.
The house seems so empty.
We loved you so much, take care up there and look down on your little "bro" Roy, he's lost w/o you.
Thanks for bringing so much joy to our lives, you will never be forgotten "TT".

Justin

It's finally time to write about you sweet Taylor.I just couldn't before you meant too much to me.
My hands were the fist and last to hold you...every day of your life you gave us joy, made us laugh, and lit up our lives.
Of all my dogs, I loved you the most...there will never be another little girl like you ever...I look at your picture and touch your face every day..and remember your sweetness...you were more than special TaTa...you were my heart...the day you went to the Bridge was so sad...I wanted to keep you longer, but I knew...it was not to be..know sweet TaTA...I agonize over it every day and miss your sweet face and personality. I would give anything to have you back just for a day..but I see you every day in all your spots..you are always with me sweetheart.
Tears may blur my eyes but not my heart or feelings for you sweet girl.
I will see you again...I'm counting on holding you close and getting kisses..know I will always love you...mom

Taylor was our 'Sweetheart'.
The only thing you had to do if Taylor was starting to do something that you didn't want her to do, is to raise your voice a little and she would come by you and start kissing you, saying she was so sorry.
I'll never forget Taylor's last hour.
I came home from school, and the routine was,she and Truman would greet me at the door and then they would get a treat and we would then go outside 'potty'. It was about 6:05 PM., and I just got back from the vetinarian to get Taylor's pills.
It started sprinkling outside so I told the dogs to hurry because we were all the way in the backyard about an acre, and we need to start going back to the porch.
I STARTED WALKING , and I normally would hear Truman running from behind but this time I didn't.
So I looked behind me and I saw Truman standing next to Taylor who is laying on the ground.
I ran back to her and she was limp.
I started giving her 'mouth to mputh' and she bit my lip. So this encouraged me to continue.
But their was no other reply.
So I ran inthe house to get my husband.
He came out he tried to move her-no reply.
So I told him get the truck and we quickly took her to the vet. about 5mins. away.
They were waiting for us,caused we called them on the way.
After 2 eppie's and mouth/mouth about 12 mins.we had to say good bye to Taylor.
A month before she went through radiation theraphy for a cancer tumor in her right sinus ; which she came through remarkably.
The Vet. said she either had a heart attack or a cancer cell got into her bloodstream.
Either way she did not suffer or feel any pain.
I'm so glad,because she never caused anyone any pain.We will miss our seet girl.

My dearest Taylor. Oh how I miss you so. I feel such an emptiness that I have never felt in my entire life. I pray that you are not in any more pain and having fun with other furbabies at the bridge. Please wait for me.

Marlo Archer

Little Tazzy Wonder we called you you were so full of life,you never knew just how small you were,you thought you were as big as the big dogs,even though you were blind know one could tell because you never seemed to act any differet than the rest of them,we will miss you little man.

Elaine

I've had my dog since I was 7 yrs. old. That's almost 15 yrs. ago! Before we got him, he was in a very bad family, beaten and mistreated on the regular. Then My mom went to the SPCA and rescued him. He was very shy and very skiddish. Not to me though, he trusted me. There, our relationship began. He was my best friend. Always there when I needed him. I'd like to think he faved me more than the rest of the family. Then old age got to him, and I was faced with a hard decission. But, I didn't want him to suffer, so I made the choice to put him down. It was very hard to let him go. I'm just glad he got the chance to know what love feels like. I'll miss my best buddy. I love him sooooo much. See you in heaven Taz! I love and miss you and I will NEVER forget you.

Denisha

Taz,
No words could describe what you meant to me.
You were my soulmate, best friend, and my rock.
You've guided my life down a very different path and I'm so grateful.
You were and always will be the love of my life.
When I think about all the fun times we had, the world's softest ears, and all those snuggles, I'm the luckiest mom in the world.
You lived with DCM for eight months and never once complained.
I know you hated it but you made the best of it, even on that fateful day you were still having fun.
I'll love you forever big Snaz.
Have fun at the bridge and don't forget, we'll be together soon enough.
For now, enjoy Duke's (10/19/07) company and try not to cause too much havoc up there.
Love you baby!
Mommy, Daddy, and Aidan

Taz - best friend, best protector, -- best fellow around to sniff out the snakes in the yard - what will I ever do without you my friend.

Tazzy passed away with his head in my lap, at the age of 12.5 years.
Degenerative muscle disease .

Miss you already buddy - till we meet again over the Rainbow Bridge.

Laurie

My sweet "Bear Bear",
You are the absolute light of my life.

You were a GOOD dog. You were MY dog. You weren't just a dog, you were my friend. You stuck with me for almost 16 years, and I'll never forget all of the great times we had growing up together. You were a member of this family and a huge part of my life. When I was at home, you were the first thing I saw in the morning and the last at night before we both went to sleep. You made me laugh every single day and made me feel like being home with you was the only place in the world that I should ever be.
When I came home from college on the weekends, you were always waiting for me by the back door - SO happy to see me that you followed me around for hours afterward even though it was hard for you to walk.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciated seeing your smiling face every Friday afternoon after a long, hard week at school.
I hope you knew how much I respected, appreciated, and loved you.

The decision to let you go was the hardest I have ever had to make.
I still do not know if I am alright with that decision, but I couldn't let you suffer any longer.
I did not want to be selfish and let you continue to be in pain because of my fears of losing you.

I love you, and I miss you.

I hope you're waiting for me up there.
It may be a while, but someday, I will be with you again.
We can eat pizza and play baseball in the backyard with Doug and Dan.

Maggie Mays

Taz was a special, gentle guy. He was our "Little Jayhawk" since we bought him on vacation in Kansas.This 95 pound yellow labrador is forever missed.

Mary Hellbusch

We will all miss you Taz!
You were such a great friend and special part of our family.
Thanks for making us smile!
Rest in peace little buddy!

Till we meet again!

Love always your

Earth Family

Taz said goodbye when I left for work yesterday morning, He slept in the basket outside my bedroom door for 15 years. He left me while I was gone and I'll miss him terribly.

Diane Burgess

Taz, was part of this family.He was a shoulder to cry on. He was was nick named Sir Locks alot, because every one he met he licked. He was tought not to bark loud in the house, so if he wanted a bagel or a piece of bread he would sit up regally and huff at you. I know he up with wobble and sinbad now. the three muskateers are back together

Eleshea

Our dear friend and companion. After the tears and sadness fade away, you will always be in our memory. Until we meet again at the bridge....

Jules & Karen Bartels

Our Little Girl... Forever in Our Hearts

Jennifer and Lisa

Taz - My Best Friend - Thank you for all the wonderful fun we have had over the years.
You are the BEST dog ever - I love you and miss you.

Diana Atkinson

Tazzy, you were such a sweet girl. You touched everyone's heart who knew you.
You will forever hold a place in our hearts.
Getting over your loss will be the hardest thing to do. We love you so very much. Rest in peace.

Lisa & Evangelos Mihelis

Im loving memory of our beloved pet. He will be sadly missed. We love you!!

Robin Johnson

Tazz: I loved you dearly---and I konw you loved me to-- and every memory we shared still lives inside me.

Bodil Pedersen

you came to me in a time of sorrow.as a pup you were a joy to me and for a while you filled a void.to go as you did was not your fault, may you and tazz frolick till i come for you both

Howard Harvey Jr

I only had him for 4 short years, until illness took him from me. Theres not a day that goes by in which I do not mourne the loss of my little boy. He was so sweet and very affectinate. He loved rubbing noses with you and just laying accross on your chest and purring. There will always be a special place in my heart for him and will always love him. Till we meet again little one...............

Dena Bouziden

Miss you Tazz

Joanne R Gauthier

Tazz was a wonderful hedgehog to behold. From the time we brought him home to the very hour we lost him, Tazz knew exactly what he wanted and would do his best to fight you for it. He weighed in at a total of 315 grams, but that sweet little boy was all strength. His most favorite place to be was on his wheel. We remember having to take it from him after he had a toenail removed. We had to give it back to him, as he climbed the sides and across the roof of his cage in frustration. He also enjoyed chasing the cats and dogs while in his ball. Scrimp was his favorite treat. If his curiousity got the better of him, he could be seen stretching upward as far as he could, to look out of his home to see what we were doing.
Our nights will never be the same again. The soft hum of a quietly spinning wheel was soothing. The screech of a wheel needing to be lubricated, not so soothing; but will be missed.
We've placed Tazz in the loving hands of his Creator and our Lord. Rest now, "sonshine", you've had a rough week, but now all is right for you.
"Momma" and "Daddy" love you and will miss you always.
We thank God that you were a blessing that He allowed in our lives. We will carry you in our hearts always.
Martin & Carol Lewis

Beloved feline who shared my life.
Tazz, you will be missed forever.
I love you so very much !

Jessica Nogradi

My little blind chi from birth died from crf today. He fought hard, it happened so fast. IV therapy for 4 days did not help. His daddy and I helped him to the rainbow bridge this morning - my heart breaks.
I love you, Tazzie, you were my baby, the joy of my life...

Robbie

Tazzy, you were the best friend and poochie we could ever ask for.
We will all miss you so very much.
Everyone always would say, "If I could have a dog just like Tazzy, it would be a no brainer!"
Thank you for your unconditional love and kisses!
You will always be my special poochie.
We love you for always, taz devil!

Michelle

I love you my precious biddy boy.... may you fly with angels, and enjoy a life with no pain or sickness. You will be my soulmate now and forever. I will see you again Tazzy.
Thank you for your unconditional love, and for always being right there when I needed you.

Brandi Alford

Tazzy was always there for me.
I cried into her fur, and talked everything out with her.
It's been almost two weeks now, and I'm still not over it.
She was so much apart of my daily life that I cannot realize that she's gone.
Every room in my house shows signs of her, and I havn't cleaned them up yet.
I loved her more than I've ever loved anything, and her passing was the most tramatic experience of my life.
There is no longer an open ear, or an unconditional love.
There is an emptyness in me that I feel will never be filled once again.
I have many pictures, good and bad, that remind me of the precious moments we had.
We will never truely be together again until I meet her in Heaven.
As of now, I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Sure, in the future I will get another cat, but it will not be the same.
I've been told that I'm not supposed to compare, but having another cat that is not her just would seem disloyal.
But through all this pain and emotion, I know that she is in a better place.
She is no longer suffering, and that is for the best.
This pain and hurt is all selfish, as this loss is also effecting others in my family.
I hope that she is looking down upon me with love, and being my guardian angel.

Hannah

Go play with your sister, my sweet little baby.
Daddy and I will miss you with all our hearts, but we know you are in a much better place.
Time will fly and before you know it, mommy and daddy will meet you and Dissy so we can all be together again.

We love you baby and miss you sooooo much!

Love Mommy and Daddy

Tazzy has been the light of my life.
She is and was the reason that would keep me going.
Me and her have been thru so much together. Death of my father, my marriage and divorce, several moves.
She was the one thing that was constant in my life no matter what mood I was in she knew if I needed love or if I wanted to be alone.
I felt so guilty and still do about the decision I had to make to say good bye to her.
But the more I think about it the more I realize i'm not saiing good bye I am saiing go to sleep and I will see you soon.
Tazzy is my precious baby and there will be others but never one like her.
To Tazzy I love you more than words can say and more than I can express.
Thank you for being with me the best 13 years of my life.
Wait for me and I will see you soon.
Love you to pieces always your mommy Christine.

You were the sweetest dog and the the most loving . thank you for all those years.

Judy Wade

T-Bear, I am going to miss you so much!
You have been my best friend for the past 17 years.
T-Bear, you brought into my life the very essence of friendship, trust and pure unbridled joy!
You brought out the best in me and diverted my thoughts away from me and the worries of the day.
Life will never be the same without you here but I will hang on to the hope that someday you and I will be together again!

Helen Estrada

To the most handsome, sweetest, huggable cat.
You are missed every day.

Deb

A sweet soul, who was found in a dumpster. She was wild yet oh so loving! She'd sleep with us and love us and also bite us. She loved to attack your feet. Still we loved her and gave her a good life she might not otherwise had known. She is and will be missed! We will always love you T.C., my sweet, sweet monster child!

Jesse & Jeannie

Rest in peace my angel baby I loved you with all my heart and miss you so much! I will never forget you anf thank you for 7 years of uncnditional love All my love, Mom

Diane Barker

We love you fluffin-bear. We miss you and your sisters.

Vicki and Jim

My cat TC was my best friend and companion.
He came to live with us after we lost our Tanya.
She was a wonderful cat too.
TC traveled with us and was a real joy to have around.
He sat at my feet every night and laid on my lap several times each day.
He slept in a kitty bed on the headboard of our bed and crawled under the covers with me each morning for love and comfort.
He loved catnip and purred every time I picked him up or he sat on my lap.
I will miss his "trot" through the living room and his meows to me when he wanted something or just to say hi.
I will always love him and I will always miss him.
I hope his spirit will visit me often.

Linda Tsatskowski

We were together for 20 years and it was hard to let you go, but I knew in my heart that it was time. Your mother gave you to me because she knew I would take care of you. I did the best I knew how. I beleive in my heart you are now free from pain and you can see and hear again. I know that you and your son Mugsy, Jinx, Layla, and Buni are now together again. I wish you peace and beautiful sunny days to run outside which you so always wanted to do! I will miss you my friend. You will be in my heart always until the day we meet again. I love you my girl. Mommy

T.C. you will always be in my heart until I see you again.

My heart is broken. I loved you so much. My beloved companion- TEAKA

Lyn Trombley

My Beautiful Boy fell ill about 3 weeks ago.
We didn't know what was wrong but he got sicker and sicker. Last night you couldn't hold on anymore Teako and you made it to the Vets but you couldn't hold on.
You were my best boy, always knowing when I was sad or upset and stayed with me by my side when I was sick.
Your brothers Razz and Ziggy miss you and all of your friends are very sad.
My heart hurts so bad I don't know what to do with the pain.
You will always have a place in my heart and I will miss you and think of you everyday for the rest of my life.
Daddy is sad and is making a special tribute to you in the front yard for everyone to see.
We will cherish and celebrate your life as will all of the people's lives you touched with your special talent for reconizing those who were sick, crying or in wheelchairs.
You brought them much happiness when you looked them in the eyes and licked their hands.
Its not goodbye by beautiful boy for you are here with me, but I will miss holding you and feeling you sleeping next to me.
You are with your sister Bepo and I hope you enjoy each others company.
Love you and Miss you

Rose Beraro

Teapot, you were one of a kind.
You loved for us to scratch your underbelly and your neck cause you were just too fat to reach.
But we didn't mind at all.
I thought you'd live forever.
When you stopped eating one week before you left us and shaking you ears, i thought you had a simple inner ear infection and all would be better.
But the vet told us you had cancer either in your tummy or liver and it was best to put you down because you would eventually starve yourself.
I am so sorry i didn't bring you home for one last night with your daughter Magic, your mate Ricky, and Tushay and Suggie.
They will all miss your "wiggle wiggle" when you walked, especially me.
My heart aches for you, but you will now play with Rhonda in Heaven and we will all meet again.
You will sit next to her on the TV and we will see you everyday.
You will never be forgotten my little angel.

We all love you, Rosemary, Ronald, Ricky, Magic, Tushay, Scoobie Doo and Suggie.

Often nicknamed the "Old Hen" you were the mother goose so to speak in our house.

We had 14 (almost 15) wonderful years with you Teasha and not a day goes by that we don't think of you or feel your presence.
Our bed is empty without you here and Amanda misses the scratches you gave her when you didn't want her to stop petting you.

Rest in peace - till we meet again.

Sandy, Darren, Kyra & Amanda

My fabulous cat Teazer was athsmatic.
One day she went wandering and she never returned. She is still missed

Maeve Larkin

I grew up with Tecate. I dont remember a time without her. I could never amagine a time without her. I could never amagine comming home with no one to greet me with a "hellloooo" (yes, she could acctually say it!) or when ever someone hugged she would start to bark because she got jealous. I played dress up with her, I went trick-or-treating with her. But then, She started to get sick. It all started with the lumps. Lumps everywhere on her body... it got harder for her to get up and down stairs... and she couldnt jump into the back of the car anymore, we had to lift her. It turned out she had cancer, and things got worse. And one day, after school, my mom and I went to put her down. I dont think I ever felt so much sorrow in my life. It's still hard for me to even think about that day. Its been wierd without her around. And I miss her alot. She saved my life too many times to count... and most of the time she wasnt aware of it. And I will never forget the last words I spoke to her, "I'll meet you at the gates of Heaven."

Age: 15

Ted E Bear came into my life at a time when I needed love the most and he helped to save me from a very dark place.
He was a much loved companion for 12 years and unfortunately in August 2007 he was diagnosed with cancer.
From the time he was diagnosed to the time he passed was just over one month.
Unfortunately, when he needed my help the most there was nothing we could do to help except make his last days the best of his all to short life.
Whereever good little dogs go when they pass I'm sure he reigns king. Love you lots Thank-you my friend.

Michelle Gervais

Dear Teddy thank you for so many wonderful years...You were a woderful companion!!!!

We are now reunited at the Rainbow Bridge furever....No more pain for either of us,no more suffering, only fun and healthy days ahead of us forever.I LOVE YOU MOM (ANGEL ROSE M. WALL), & Cathie Burely)

Ted was a good friend and the best watch dog and companion.
He will surely be missed.

Mary Dellinger

Ted the Dog was really a cat.
He was loved by his human parents for many, many years.
When he began to show signs of his illness, his furmom wasn't sure if he was missing his furdad who was on vacation or if he was ill, so she took him to the doctor where she learned the sad news of renal failure.
She had Ted euthanized and thought at first she had killed him.
Then he reminded her that he was ill and that she had given him a great gift: a peaceful death and release from a diseased body.

Now he is able to run and play at the Rainbow Bridge.
He even had a cat named Indy there to meet him upon his arrival.
Indy's former human dad had asked him to meet Indy and show him the best places to find catnip and tuna fish and a soft and warm bed.
He already has a friend so is not lonely.
Yet he does miss his furmom and furdad and hopes they aren't too sad that he has left them.
He promises to wait at the Rainbow Bridge for them to reunite one day.
He no longer feels ill and is at peace.
He especially wants his furmom to know that he is grateful she saved him from that trauma.
He wants her to know he says thank you.

Sandie Herron On Behalf Of His Mom Karen Dyer

thank you for amazing green eyes. thank you for a perfect charcoal nose, big paws, and soft grey fluff. thank you for accepting these last five years. thank you for this summer, especially for our last weekend. thank you for eighteen years of the sweetest memories. love forever

Teressa

Our dear baby girl you will be forever loved and missed. I will forever be touched by the blessings you brought to my live.

Kerri and Jay

To my little sweetie pie, Teddi.
You were with me constantly since you were about 6 weeks old.
You were the best little guy and everybody who met you, fell in love with you.
You gave me hours upon hours of enjoyment and love and I loved you so very much.
You were so loving and sweet.
I miss having you snuggle up with me, and I'll never, ever forget all the time we spent together.
I so wish I could have that day back and kept you near me.
I hope to see you again across the Rainbow bridge my little Teddi buddy.
I miss you so much!
MOMMY

Teddie, you meant everything to us. You were our empty nest puppy and even though you didn't like it much you would let me love on you when I needed to. The house is so empty now and every place we look we see something that reminds us of you. WE have tried remembering funny things about you or things that you did but it does not alleviate the grief of losing you. Everyone that saw you loved you. We will always love you and appreciate the way you filled our lives. WE hope we did everything we could to help you live, but we just could not bear to see you suffer and have so much trouble breathing. WE could not put you through any more. I don't think we will ever love another pet the way we loved you. Nothing can take your place.
You and Pepper take care of each other and look down on us with love
Dan and Betsy

15 years was not enough; I love you gentle girl; go with God, I hope to see you soon. Mom

Teddie Bear - I miss you so much - I miss your gentle "mi-ao" and your eyes following me about the room. It is unbearable, I hope to see you soon. God Bless and keep the Angels on their toes until I get there!
Love XOXO Your Mom

Beloved Friend

Dawn, Rich

Teddybear, you were so young, so smart, and so willing to please. i am so sorry. i hope you met bandit. i was training you to be a tricks dog like her and it cost you your life.

Amanda T. Carlson

Beloved Teddy. I am writing this tribute almost 5 years after you passed. No one could love you like your mommy. You were magnificent. The tallest gray and white cat ever with a huge white moustache. You loved to fetch balls and constantly brought balls for me to throw. I found one by the back door the day you left this earth. You would leap into the air after feather toys. You appeared on TV! You were a therapy cat before you adopted me. You were our mascot, greeting and watching over all the foster cats, rabbits and dogs. I miss you still. Did you know your story was published in a book called Angel Cats: Divine Messengers of Comfort? You were such a comfort to me and all beings. I know Keesies Marie is with you now. That gives me comfort. I know you will look after her. I will see you both in the heavenly village. Mommy loves you more than light.

Laurie Crawford Stone

Teddy, we know that things look grim. We still have hope that you are out their alive somewhere being taken care of. We love you and miss you and Winston every day. You guys meant the world to us. Please come home.

-mommy and daddy

The best little furbaby that came into our lives.
You will be forever loved & missed and always in our hearts.
Rest in peace, dearest Teddy.

Helen & John Yselonia

Dear friends

I am sending this to all those that have over the years been greeted and welcomed to our home by our loving companion Teddy.

Teddy passed away 11/29/07 at 3PM.
His death was peaceful and came in his favorite bed with his blanket and surrounded by love. He rode in his favorite car and ate his favorite meal before loosing these mortal coils.
It was his kind of day in the mountains clear and crisp.
Tanya, myself, his "best bud" Patty (his words not mine) and his friend and physician Randy Wetzel bid him goodbye This scene and these people will forever fill part of the void left by his passing and for this I thank them.

The decision (my catharsis by attempting to explain it) was based on the special relationship that we shared.

When first bring Teddy into our family some 13 years ago as a confused youngster I remember the drive back to our home with Teddy clinging to Tanya as if to feel her heartbeat and I thought to myself what he must be feeling leaving his mother and siblings for the last time, I promised him then and I (Tanya) have kept that promise .
We were uncompromising in our love. We denied him nothing we denied ourselves and for the better part of our married life we became a unit passing our love and devotion back and forth.

There was one part of his feeling for us that surpassed all others . He gave us the ultimate pure love by giving us the trust to make the decisions that he could not.
That was to ensure that we would not let the quality of his life be diminished or allow him the pain of sickness.
We did this with heavy hearts, and now I weep.

I hope someone out there will handle my life as it ends with the same love and dignity.
Surrounded by friends and at peace.

Teddy and I over the course of years developed a communication method which allowed me to translate thought into words.
Just as a mother or father understand a child before it becomes vocal.

During his early illustrious show career with his "best fun time friend Brandy" (his words not mine).
Prancing joyfully around the ring (sure to gather a crowd) he would often lose concentration and his eyes would flit to ringside or wherever he last placed Tanya or myself.
He did this he told me because he knew that whatever the outcome of his experience in the
ring he would take the fun ride home and be loved for what he was and not for what he did. Our presence was his assurance. I am forever grateful to his "best fun bud" for making this possible.

To those who were intimidated by his presence I make no apology. His relationship with Tanya and myself engendered a feeling of protection that we recognized and it was mutual.

His passing marks a passage of time shared by three intimates whose bond was as physical as emotional.
For those of you that know me you know my view of the world and its relationships is in some sense "far out". I do know based on modern science that at some time Teddy and I possessed a common ancestor.
The story is in our genes at an molecular level.
I do not ask you to believe but to understand why I consider Teddy's passing a passing of a portion of myself.

Once again
in saying goodbye for now and "rest in peace" I and Teddy thank all of you that have made his life and ours possible.

I close in tears

Mort

This is Morty's tribute to Teddy and there is not much more I can add.
Teddy was the center of our universe for so many years it is difficult to think of life without him.
We never did anything that he was not a part of.
His loss is more than I can bear.
Our world is less without him but we will carry him in our hearts forever.
I could go on forever about all my memories of him over these past 12 1/2 years.
I feel so fortunate to have shared these last years with him here in WNC without the pressure of my law practice.
Life has been good for him and us here.
It may be difficult for someone who has never experienced that special bond to comprehend what we are feeling but we are devastated.

Tanya

To my beloved Teddy.You will always be in mommy's heart! You got sick a week ago. Your pain ended today. It was so hard to let you go,but now you have no more pain. I gave you alot of love the past 8 years and will never forget you. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH Little munchkin!!

Love you always and forever,

Your mommy

Teddy was a wonderful cat and a great companion to all. He will be truly missed and always remembered lovingly.

Terri, Tim, Adam and Alex Melanson

Teddy was our family dog for many years. He has passed on, but we want to cherish the memories of him, as well as create many more. It is our goal to share his story with as many people as possible. Teddy was a Cocka-poo/Terrier mix. He lived for 16 years. He was a protector of us and our children. He helped train the two young dogs that we have currently. His love and compassion flourished all the way until the end. He would not allow pain to show in order to protect us from the misery he may have been going through. He would always lay next to one of us, and sleep right by the bed. He was such a great dog that we wanted other's to share in the experience. We hope to see many pictures from his journeys. He is watching us all from above. Protecting us, in his own dog way. His memory is VERY important to me. He kept me alive when live got REALLY hard for me.

Jonathan Guntert

A LONG-TIME FRIEND TO MANY.
YOU WILL BE MISSED, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN...

Pierre Landry

Teddy was the first dog I ever had.
He lived 13 years.
His body just shut down.

Mary Frances Rudd

Not a day goes by where I think about you and remember how soft and poofy your fur was, how beautiful your eyes were, how long your eyelashes were, and how good you smelled.
I miss smelling your paws, giving you kisses, picking you up like a baby, and taking you everywhere with me.
But now I know, you're ALWAYS with me (even those places you weren't able to go to!).
I miss you so much and I just cannot wait until I see you again.
You appear all the time in my dream, playing with me as if you were never gone from my life.
My dear dear wittle baby, Teddy.
I love you and our family misses you dearly.
Never will a pet be better than you, and never will a pet replace you.
See you soon.

Kristine

We loved you Teddy and will miss you.
The cancer may have taken your life but your sprit and memory will always be in our hearts. We have many candles lite for you to find your way.
Love Frank and John

I adopted Teddy from a shelter.
He was such a cute little guy I just couldn't resist him.
He made an excellent impression the day I brought him home by chasing the cat down the hall.
For the first couple of years, he drove me crazy every time there was a thunder storm.
From the first clap of thunder til the storm passed there would be no sleeping.
Teddy loved to go for walks and strutted around the neighborhood as though he were a Doberman protecting his territory.
You could tell he was absolutely full of himself.
A couple of years ago he was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease.
He lost one eye and the vision in his other eye, but he made the adjustment to being blind, though it did take the strut out of his walk.
In December he had a stroke and there was nothing that could be done to help him past that hurdle, so it time for him to go the rainbow bridge.
I miss him and there's not a day goes by that I don't think about him.
He was a joy.

I wanted to say goodbye to my very special friend.
You are very loved and will be missed every day. Thank you for the 6 months of love and loyalty you gave me,Teddy.

Good-bye my special friend

Love,Mommy

Teddy was the perfect dog.
His personality was exhilerating.
He brought more joy to my life and my family's life then I could have ever imagined.
He will sincerely be missed.

William Morley

A much loved family member.

Jean Collier

There was never a sweeter, more gentle soul than my Ted.
Looking into his beautiful face could make the day's worries just disappear. I didn't think I would have to say goodbye after 9 short years, but I am sending my sweet boy home to my dad who will love him in the next life as much as we both did in this one.

Karen Pokorny

I just wanted to say a little about the most beloved cat in the whole world, Teddy. I have had Teddy and his sister since they were born (I was three). Teddy was VERY special because he had seven toes on his two front paws and six on his two back paws. He was the nicest, sweetest, most laid back, and loving cat in the WHOLE world! He didn't have a bad bone in him. I taught him ticks that included touching his ear, rolling over, jumping courses of small fences, choosing which hand the treat was in, and standing on his hind legs. He also would "knock" on the door if he wanted to come inside. Every day, Teddy would walk to my bus stop and wait for me to get on before he went home! I loved him sooo much and will always miss him!! Luv Ya Teddy Boy!

Catherine Read

We miss you so Teddy. A part of our heart went with you that day.

Ed & Francine Jones

Rest in peace Teddy, fiercely loyal and loving. Always protective of the family and providing unconditional companionship. I wish I could take you for a walk one last time, but wherever you are I hope you have endless fields to run around.

TEDDY

YOU WERE SUCH A SPECIAL BABY GIRL TO US.
YOU WERE THE RUNT OF THE LITTER AND THE ONLY ONE THAT SURVIVED BIRTH.

YOU WERE SUCH A LOVING GIRL AND GAVE US SUCH JOY, WITH YOUR HIGH FIVES AND CHASING THE SQUIRRELS.

YOU WERE ALWAYS FOLLOWING US AND LOVED TO BE LOVED. YOU TRAVELED WITH US, ALWAYS LOVED THE CAR TO GO BYE BYE.

YOU GAVE US 14 YEARS OF JOY....AND THEN YOU GOT ILL WITH CANCER, AND BLINDNESS.
YOU WERE STILL LOYAL.
ON THIS DAY 2/26/07 YOU HAD TO LEAVE US AND I CAN HARDLY DEAL WITH IT.
WE MISS YOU SO MUCH.

I HOPE YOU ARE FREE FROM PAIN AND CAN SEE AGAIN.
WE LOVE YOU WITH ALL OUR HEART.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

BE FREE AND REST IN PEACE. LOVE YOU SO MUCH BABY GIRL.

MOM AND DAD

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Tao, we lived a lifetime in the short time we shared and loved together.
The gift is "Love". Time is illusion. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for touching your nose to my finger. The incredible PURE JOY we shared struggling through all those ice cold sub zero snowstorm days. ... in all of our countless precious moments. You filled my heart! You warm my heart now and always will.
What an honor - sharing FOOD (those glorious meals fit for a King) and HOME. I so looked forward to your coming closer and closer and moving in with us... Your sudden and unexpected journey to Spirit World is part of the great Mystery... I will never understand the "why". I honor You and I honor the Mystery. My Tao, I love you so. I miss you so my darling. You are a Great Light in my life - a precious gift and so rare. I have to believe it couldn't have been better, even though our time was cut short, you received, I gave, you gave, I received... We danced the Dance of Beauty, the Dance of Love! Inside of my grieving and inside of my pain I celebrate your joy, and our JOY! Until me meet again in the same dimension of form, "We are One" though in different dimensions for the moment. Crossing those dimensions is a continuous blessing. I do miss you so, Tao. I honor the opportunity you gave my heart to be of service, to show the lovingkindness I feel in my heart for you. It was "love at first sight" when I saw you that day not so very long ago. It will always be!

May the Universe know that Tao (Teddy)-- beautiful orange and white kitty who lived outside on Chicago Pilsen streets... GRACED Mother Earth with his presence.. leaving a sparkling, WONDROUS imprint of Love on Earth for All to Embrace.

Meg Halsey

Teddy was a rescue dog that was the best friend that family could ever have. He made everyday happier. After a brave battle with cancer we let him go. There will never be another Teddy. We will always miss you.

Kim , Mark & Ashley Williams

I miss you my baby Teddy Beddy!
Love Mommy

Twinkling brown eyes and the sweetest disposition.
He was all about the hugs and kisses.

Jacquelin Sonderling

We know you are healthy again and stealing oven stuffers and loaves of bread. We all miss you.

Marty & Roberta Feder

We adopted this sweet little boy in June of 2006. We rescued him just in the nick of time from Animal Services in Calgary.
Even though he had some health problems and was already a senior.
We fell in love with him at first sight.
We was abandoned and nobody wanted him.
We are so happy we took him home with us.
Teddy was so well behaved and such a gentle little soul.
We was so friendly that every new person was a friend.
When we took him to visit my father in the nursing home.
Every one used to come by to see Teddy because he was so calm and never barked or jumped on any one. So Teddy was a perfect vistitor to the seniors and brought many smiles and laughter to every one.
We only had Teddy for 3 years but oh what wonderful and joyeous years they were.
My sweet boy we shall miss you all ways and thank you for gracing our home with your love.
Mommy and Daddy hold you closed in our hearts and we will all ways miss you and love you.

Rest well my little angel be happy and well, and Mommy and Daddy will see you on the Rainbow Bridge some day.

Linda & George Jensen

Thank you for giving me all your sweet love and kisses

Cathy Fleck

Teddy was a wonderful 12 year old Yorkie, so sweet and caring for everyone. She was always happy and loved to play...but most of all, she loved people. She will be missed so much and I cannot wait until the day I see her again.
I love you Teddy Bear.

Kelly

we watched you come into this world and we watched as you slipped away. 16 1/2 years of companionship and love gone in a instant. we feel as if we have lost our son.

you were our teddy bear, hooter,big dog, old face, sweet boy,etc

your names were as endless as our love for you.
our comfort is that we know you are with our sweet tammy puggy girl, your beloved sister. we know we will see you again at the rainbow bridge.

we will love you forever and ever
mom and dad.

My Teddy was killed in a street accident.
I found him a good distance from home for a dog with an arthritic hip.
I can only speculate that he left the house spooked from a hard rain that came shortly after I left to go out for dinner.
When I returned, he was not home and I knew in my heart something was wrong.
I searched for him until the wee hours of the morn and again at daybreak.
It was then I found my boy lying maimed on the side of the road.
He had not been dead long, his fur soft and still warm.
I was devasted!
I picked my 85 lb boy up and placed him in the front seat of my car and brought him home.
Teddy was the most loyal and best friend a girl could have.
I will always love and miss him.
It feels so empty without him around.
I can't wait until I reach The Rainbow Bridge so me and my handsome dog can be together again.

Lou Eller

Please find me again

Megan Hartling

Teddy was tired and weak and just couldn’t go on. His joy lasted almost 17 years. My condolence goes out to our daughter, Debbie, who had the foresight to get Teddy when he was just a tiny puppy! He was her pride and joy! Because of health issues and her work schedule he lived his later years with my wife and me.

My friend and companion completed his work on earth. Oh yes, we were the lucky one to have been blessed by him for all these years, He had a wonderful life and contributed greatly to the family with his spirit and love. He rested on a bean bag next to my desk at my home office and kept me company as the days and years passed.
I well never forget the daily walks we had together.
Oh, how we loved those time together. However, the walks the last year or so were limited to around the yard. He left an impression that we will always remember! He will be missed by family and we look ahead to meeting him at a later time on the Rainbow Bridge!

Robert Paugh

I saw your face in the clouds, but the wind blew it away
I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves washed it away
You etched your name on my heart - where it will stay forever

My world has never been the same since you entered it 17 years ago
My world will never be the same since you left it two weeks ago
Forever and Always-I will love you

Paula Myers

I miss you ...

S. Hawk

This is a tribute to my dog Teddy Bear who was a friend, companion and showed me so much love for almost 12 years. He is missed so very much and left a very empty spot in my life.
Marian in ND

We miss you so much Teddy-Bob. You were such a part of our family. It is tough not to see you and pet you and to see you rubbing against your buddy Annie. She misses you too. We will never forget how we rescued you that night when someone was trying to hurt you. Daddy found you and handed you to me. You smelled like gasoline and I washed you three times to make sure you were ok. I wrapped you in a big towel and gave you to your Uncle Matt to hold as we were working. He took good care of you until we could all go home. I laid you between our pillows on a fluffy towel and you fell asleep and slept there all night. What a bundle of energy and fun you were. You loved Torrence, Mandy & Jebbie too and they loved you. I know we will see you some day at the Rainbow Bridge. We love you Teddy, Love, Mommy & Daddy
and Annie too!

Good bye my loyal furry friend. Your heart failed you, but your spirit still remains. You were so tough, and put up such a fight. Your little 5 lb. body radiated so much warmth, love & sweetnes. We will miss your larger than life personality, you will for ever be in our hearts & will never be forgotten.
Sleep well Baby Teddy!
Love you,
Mommy & Daddy

Your love was tremendous,
still living in my heart.
My memory, a scrapbook
while we're apart.
My little boy, my precious, best friend
Until we walk together again...
your spirit will reign in me.

Crystal Voegele

I will never forget you Ted, you were my constant companion for the past 17 yrs. You and I travleled 825 miles away together and started a new life and you helped me get thru each day being so homesick and now you're gone... I can't even begin to tell you what u meant to me and I will never stop missing you... I love you Ted!

Loyeann Head

Teddy was born around 17 and a half years ago around Gainesville FL.
The first time I saw him he was living with a motorcycle gang across the street, who had named him "Rambo".
I found him wandering the streets and would let him play with my dog and feed him.
The last time I took him back to the motorcycle gang, they said they had forgotten he was outside.
I told myself that would be the last time I took him back.
If Teddy could talk, he would have said "Where's Mama?". His eyes always followed me, always making sure I was ok.
He taught me loyalty, love and courage.
He was also the handsomest boy in the whole wide world. I miss you my babyboy. Please remember me when I cross over.

Cindy Santos

We sure miss you puppy. Your eagerness to jump in the car to go for a ride; the way you would bounce around when we asked if you wanted to take a walk; the way you would wait at the top of the stairs early in the morning for the signal to go outside and then come charging back in for a treat. The way you stood by the window waiting when one of us wasn't home. The way you always followed us when we went for walks in your beloved woods. The way you would nuzzle your head against our arms or legs. And in the end, the way you barked to protect us and then wagged your tail in recognition of the vet just before he put you to sleep. We will never forget you puppy. With much love and affection, your daddy.

Teddy, when I rescued you over 4 years ago because your Mistress had become to old to care for you, I knew then that you would be special to me. I sit here now,crying,as I remember those early days, and the time since, when you were happy and playful.
Your pain today was too much for me to stand, you were living in fear and no longer recognized me, your hind legs stopped working and all you could do was bark and whine.
Today was the end of the road, I could not bear to see you suffer, so quickly, in the last 24 hrs you had deteriorated to a point of no return.
I loved you Tedster and miss you already.
Perhaps, you've already found your Mistress at the bridge, I hope so, and if not I'll be looking for you when I arrive.
Be in peace my Friend. Love, Bob

We love you always our sweet Tedi-bear.
Coco, Ziggy, Misti, Sebastian and Cookie are waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge.
No more worries sweet dog.
We will see you again.
Momma loves you forever.

Tedi was sassy, bossy, stubborn, loving, queen of her castle, and the kitty love of my life. I am grateful for all the time we had together and that she passed peacefully in her sleep at home. I will miss her love, her quirks, her demands, her soft, soft fur, and the way she talked to me. May everyone be blessed with such a beautiful friendship. Thank you, Tedi, for being such a wonderful part of my life and heart and soul for so very long.

Cami Cacciatore

Your in my heart forever and rest beside me in your favorite place. Every Brahms Lullaby or Amazing grace I sing will be remembering you! Till Rainbow Bridge Sweet Tedi...

Lisa Semonick

We will miss you until we draw our last breaths. Please know how very much we love you, and have enjoyed every second that you were in our lives. Your chow chow hugs, sharing french fries, and dancing with you will be missed, as well as just the presence of you. We love you handsome.

Pj and Michael Byrd

She was a sweet loving little dog and we will miss her always.

Pat Herkes

To you, Teenie, you are the reason I get up in the morning, I love you and miss you so very much.

Colleen Gastonguay

My dearest Teenie Jeanie, you were with me way to short a time. It will be a year September 30 that I held you in my arms for the last time and said my tearful goodbyes to you. I keep thinking back of how you came to join our family and I know that God had a hand in sending you to me. We both needed each other. Timothy was so lonely after we said goodbye to Monique in April of 2005.
They had been together for 14 years. Since Timothy was almost 15 I was thinking of getting him an older companion to keep company.
I checked the rescue website not even knowing what breed or type of dog to look for except for older -- and there you were! You looked so scared and lonely -- you had no teeth and your tongue was sticking out. The info stated that you were 14 and healthy. I looked at a few other dogs but kept coming back to you.
Next thing I knew I was picking you up from the vets. The foster family you were with said you were constipated and being checked out.
They also said you were a very quiet lap dog. You were SO small!!
Just barely four pounds. You could barely keep your eyes open. It didn't take long for Timothy to come over and lay down right next to you -- let you know you were safe.
I didn't realize how sick you really were.
You layed in the same spot for so long. I noticed you weren't drinking any water so I made sure to give it to you throughout the day in a little plastic syringe.
You seemed to get a little more strength as you took in the water and started to eat. Then came the day I came home from work and saw all the blood on the floor where you went to the bathroom. You were so sick my Teenie Jeanie. Dr. Passmore tried so very hard to do everything he could to get you
healthy.
I really thought the medicine was starting to work and also the special diet you were on.
You were eating like a little piggie…I loved it. I loved YOU!
You even got up to almost 5 pounds!
We were all clapping and cheering for you at the vets.
We said goodbye to our gentle soul Timothy on June 6, 2006.
I was so happy to have you with me to help me through the grief. And you did. I don't know what your life was like before you came to live with me.
But, I believe it was a hard one and not a happy one. I could tell that when I put you down outside you stood there like it may have been one of the first times you were outside and free.
You didn't know what to do. You also didn't know about affection. I wanted to make your home here a happy one and let you know that you were truly loved and wanted.
There was a just a little window of time where I could see the 'real' you. The sparkle in your eyes, the chin hugs you would give me when I got home from work. Even some of your little independent ways. The day in July when we went to the park and how you loved being able to walk on the grass. I would watch you and you would walk on the grass for a little ways then look down and then throw yourself down on the grass for a few minutes and then get back up walk a little ways further and then do the same thing over and over again.
You would look at the grass as if you were looking at it for the first time and wondering what this wonderful feeling was.
How we both slept (me holding you in my arms) on the bus ride home.
That memory stands out in my mind and heart every single day and makes me smile inside and out. You ended up getting sick again and I thought you just might make it through. That Friday I came home from work -- I never thought I would be saying goodbye to you that night. You were so small and frail. Now, barely 3 1/2 pounds. What a sad night that was. It was so hard to let you go, but I knew it was time.
You are now healthy again, running, playing and enjoying life like you should have been all your life. I know Timothy must have met you when you passed over and Monique was waiting for you too. You were so loved my little Teenie Jeanie. Such a big heart in a little package.
Thank you for all the love and comfort you brought to our home in the short time you were here.
You made a lasting impression and you were a part of our family…wanted and loved. Love you forever and ever.
Mom, Zach, Scooter

I hoped we'd grow old together, it was not meant to be. You were my little angel, my life, my love. 'Bring us O Lord God, at our last awakening, into the house & gate of heaven, where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light; no noise nor silence, but one equal music; no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession; no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity'. Til we meet again.

Roz McGregor

Teeny Tiny, I am so sad without your shadow following me everywhere I go. The jelousy when anyone tried to show me affection! (She belong's to ME!) was the clear message you gave them.

All the love and tears can not bring you back in real life but your sprit lives on in the many people's hearts you touched.

Your deformed foot that the vet made more comfortable for you, the sweet cropped ears that was always so perky and alert.

You are missed so very much my sweet baby.

Donna

My sweet "Teesha-Weesha".
You will be missed so deeply.
I was only 12 when I rescued you from being put down at the pound when you were just a small puppy.
You were such a sweet, loving friend. No matter what you were ALWAYS there to greet me as I walked up to the front door. You were happy to see me and that made me so happy too.
I loved how you'd put your nose under my hand and jerk it up so that it would rest on your head again if I'd stopped petting you.
You had the most caring eyes and I sensed that you could see straight into my soul.
After I'd left home for college I missed you but was so happy to come home to you rushing up to greet me whenever I'd visit.
You were so loved.
I'm truly sorry that I wasn't there when you passed on but Mom was and I know she gave you special kisses from me as you slipped away in her arms.
I'm grateful that you are no longer in pain.
I can just imagine you young again with your agile body running like the wind. Your sight is back, your hearing as well. I'll never forget you, Teesha.
I have a hole in my heart.
You were such a sweet precious friend. I know that I'll see you again as you come rushing to greet me once more on the other side.

Love eternally,
Robyn

We sent you home sweet puppy, so that you can reap the rewards to which you have truly earned.
God Speed to you Teets, we love you and will miss you always. ~Mom

Teka was a beautiful gray wolf that was a resident of Wolfhaven International in Tenino
Washington that i sponsored for a year and a half.
She will never be forgotten.

Andrew Payne

Teller was such a good kitty. He was very loving, and always wanted to snuggle. He has a litter mate, Penn, who misses playing and sleeping with Teller. We all miss him very much, but are happy that he's not in pain anymore.

Brooke Curtis

You will always be forever remembered as the light of my life, sunshine of my days, stars of my night. I love you.

Kimberly

Temperance was a rescued feral kitten who found me when she and her siblings were about three weeks old and starving. She and her brother Ray were diagnosed shortly thereafter with FeLV. She saved the lives of her siblings that day. She only lived a short time, but she was surrounded by love. She loved to play kitty soccer and to watch the outside world through the window.She truly earned her name. She will be missed. Of all the souls I've met in my travels, hers was the most human.

Jonathan Schultz

Tempesta, corri felice sul Ponte dell'Arcobaleno, nasconditi e cerca le crocchette. io sto arrivando a riprenderti e non ti lascerò mai più.

Carlo Mantia

He was the first and biggest of the seven born that morning over 19 years ago; and the biggest bully but no one will ever replace him as Lord of the Manor.
There's no one now to wake me up by bumping my head and Rowring in my ear, or to sit beside me and let me know exactly when it gets dark (in England) so that he can be fed.
But Temujin doesn't have to be in pain anymore. He can run again, eat grass to his heart's content, terrorize everyone and everything within view and sleep undisturbed by aches ad pains in the sun next to his Mother and Sister.
When I cross over the Bridge, I'll be looking for him and his brothers, sisters, his Mom and others of his Family he's getting to meet now and who he will meet. If there's no Cats in Heaven, I'm not going. I'll come Here. Bless them All.

Wendy Mathison and Kaye Van Buren

See you at the Rainbow Bridge one day, keep your eyes open.
We both love you.

Silvia & Fritz

Jed, you gave us 13 wonderful years and we were so lucky to have you! I miss you and will see you in my dreams!

Mandy K

LOOSING YOU WAS SUCH A SHOCK, YOU WOKE UP THAT MORNING, WENT DOWNSTAIRS TO THE BASEMENT TO EAT YOUR BREAKFAST, AND WHEN YOU CAME BACK UP THE STAIRS, YOU JUST CRIED OUT FOR A MOMENT, LAID DOWN, THEN YOU WERE GONE. I'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO YOU, I WAS IN SUCH SHOCK, I CRIED FOR DAYS IN DISBELIEF. BUT YOU ARE NOW REUNITED WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND YOU LIVE WITH FOR 10 YEARS. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MISSED HIM WHEN HE DIED, BUT NOW YOU'RE TOGETHER AGAIN IN KITTY HEAVEN.
WILL LOVE AND MISS YOU ALWAYS!!!
LOVE, MOM & DAD

She wasnt just our dog she was my family I miss her so dearly and would give anything to have her back.
I hear she scratching at the door to go outside when I'm watching tv.
I still wake up in the middle of the night to check for her to see if she is okay.
She got sick instantly, she was fine the day before it happened and then her heart failed.
The gave her the shot and I saw the look on her face.."get me out of here mom," but it was the right thing to do...
But I just miss her so much.

Ally

Mommy and daddy love you so much:)my rooper pooper

Tera was my petite Manx/domestic mix kitty and a long-time family member who was a 1 year anniversary gift to ourselves after our first year of marriage.
She was a fisty little feline who loved to bite everyone as a kitten, meowed everytime my husband sneezed and comforted her mommy (myself) in the most traumatic of times. Tera was tragically run over by a random driver in front of our home some time Sunday afternoon while wondering the neighbor's yard.
She must have walked into the street which I've never witnessed.
She was deeply loved by me and my daughter and will forever be remembered as a dear little ball of fuzzy love.
We miss you little Tera girl!

Elaine Gentry

Termite, you were the bravest, most beautiful girl in the world. You never complained about anything, even when you were sick from chemo. I will always have you close to my heart. You are forever loved baby girl. Until we meet again, mommy loves you.

Judy

Sweet paws that touched my heart, you are forever loved by mommy. May god hold you in his arms until we meet again my fur child, my baby

Roseann Padgett

To my little soul mate
You were my joy when I woke up each morning
until we went to bed each night. I miss how we always had to touch each other ,if we sat together or went to sleep. I miss the sight of you every were in our home. You made me so happy. Your big dark eyes always watching me to be sure I was OK. I loved to kiss you right between your eyes ,as you would close them as to say ,I feel your love. But you never let me get the last kiss ,as you always lick my face . The swish of you little hips as you walked on your leash a head of me.
The way you always had to bring a toy to anyone who came to visit us,thanking them for coming in the house. I have a hole in my heart now that you are gone,that aches so bad, just to touch you again. To smell the pads of your feet, that reminds me of popcorn. You are so loved by your mommy.One day we will be together again and I'm not afraid anymore when that time comes,my baby
I was blessed to find you long ago. Thank you for your love....I miss you little Terra Ferma..
alway your mommy.

TERRA WAS A MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY, SHE DID EVERYTHING WITH US . I HAD JUST LET HER OUT OF HER PEN AND IN ONLY A FEW MINUTES SHE RAN AFTER A TRUCK AND WAS DEAD. I CRIED ALL DAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND I AM STILL CRYING. I MISS HER TERRIBLY . SHE WASN'T EVEN 1 1/2 YEAS OLD YET. WHY DO THINGS HAPPEN LIKE THIS. I WILL NEVER FORGET HER.

Joan Mills

Exactly two years ago, on Feb 27 I met you for the first time in the pet shelter near my home, lying on a cushion being very laidback, cute green eyes and cypher/white. You were the favorite amongst the personell, how you loved to be stroked and cuddled !
The first time you entered my home you were at ease immediately. Liam had more difficulty to accept you ! When Liam passed away a year later it was just the two of us against the world.
You could be such a diva, seeking attention, playing with the little fishrod with feathers, strutting around on the balcony, stuff your face with food ! But the best time of the day was when I came home, we had our cuddle session, and you'd be lying in my arms to watch the telly.
One night while wandering around the balcony you got attacked by one of the neighbourhood cats, who bit in your neck. The vet managed to get you back on track again, but you never recovered fully from it, also because you now had a lame vocal cord which restricted your breathing. Still, we have been together for another 5 weeks, in which I could spoil you rotten.
Last Friday night you passed away after breathing difficulties. I could only comfort you, tell you not to be afraid, and that it was OK to go...

My lovely Terri, how I miss you. The house is really empty now without your presence. I hope you arrived safely at Rainbow Bridge and made tons of friends..hopefully Jarvis and Liam were there to greet you !

Terry,
I never knew what a joy you brought into my young life, just that I loved you as a child and so many years later, I can still see your face.
I remember the first time that I saw you as a puppy and YOU WERE THE ONE! Thank you! You were never given what you should have had.
If only...
I have told my family all about you and I even have a picture or two of you.
I hope that I get to see you again someday and that you keep the rest of our fur kids close by your side.
You would really like them...I love you Terry.

Cindy Watson

Tesla-the-dog you are already missed more than words can express.
Be well, safe and happy till we meet again.

Beth

Our Dearest Puppy Daughter
Your little twitchy nose
Your sweet nature
The way you guarded your loved ones
Our Darling Tess
With you in my life, Heaven was here on earth

Jessie

Tess was the family "mini-cat".
She was small,nervous but feisty and loved by everyone.She was the wife of Fred, her same-age rescue cat with whom she had 2 kittens who went to good homes.
All her early life she couldn't miaouw, just a little hissy squeak "heh", but latterly, having become stone deaf, she could emit the most blood-curdling loud miouws anytime, the darling.
She became frail, and lost weight, but the vet didn't know what was wrong.
Last night, knowing her to be very ill, I got her back from dying I'm sure 3 times by cuddling her so closely for 7 hours till 3.0am, then put her on my bed to sleep.
This morning I had to go to work but she was by the heater asleep, but purring to me when I left.
When I got home she had just "gone" - not that long, as if she was waiting for me.

To a beautiful girl who brought so much to my Mother's life.
She was her very best friend and saw her through some really rough times...such as the death of her husband/my father.

Tess you will always live in our hearts!
We will think of you often and although our time was only 7 years, we loved you with everything we could.
You are a sweet soul and will always be treasured.
You take care of Dad until we see you both again.

With much love...your human sister "social worker" Jayne

I miss you so much my baby-Tessy-cat.

Melissa Reno

The sweetest little girl in the world...my best friend.
I love you so much and it gets harder every day to live without your beautiful face to kiss, your fur to brush, your arms to embrace me, your sweet little paws to rest on my hand, and your adorable voice to hear.
I will meet you on the other side where you are no longer in pain.
I love you for all eternity...

Alana

Tess, may you finally be at peace in heaven with grandma and grandpa. Eating what ever you want and being healthy again.
We miss you so and Maggie is looking for you. You were such a good girl. Until we meet again, play and run but most of all, breath easy.
We love and miss you so. Mom, Dad and Casey

Love,
Mommy

We miss you so badly.

Greta Rucks

Tessa Thompson was more than a pet. She was my best friend. I still think about her every day. I loved her little tassle tail and the way she always had to put her head in the crook of my neck when i came home. She will always be remembered as a special lady and never just a dog. She was gentle, well mannered delicate and beautiful. She never failed me or let me down. She is my guardian angel. She has changed our lives forever they will never be the same. I am so carefull to be good now so I can see you in heaven.
I love you and miss you Tessa Tassle Tail. I hope you wait for me and Tom we'll be along soon. Don't feel bad for leaving us you had to go. You will always be our Toosie Loosy with the cutie caboosie! We love you. Rest in Peace Tessa Thompson Best Friend and four legged angel.

Kat and Terrence Thompson

To our beloved Baby Tessi. You came into our lives and changed it forever. You were the light of our lives and there is not a day that goes by that you are not thought about and missed. You were a special Angel who gave us love and joy each and everyday. Know that we love you and that you can never be replaced in our hearts.

Gene & Mike Howe

Tessie came to us from an abusive home 12 years ago. We were not sure if she would do well with our kids since they were all young at the time. So, we agreed that she would stay for a weekend and see how she adapted to everyone. When the weekend was over there was no way we could part with her or imagine our home without her. Pretty much how we feel now. She brought alot of love and laughter into our home and into our hearts. Tess, we will love you and remember you always.

John, P.K., Jen, Justin and Jordan Lober

You will always be in our hearts and thoughts. We love you.

Eva Morcos

How could you not love and miss someone that loves you unconditionally and asks for nothing in return.

I'll miss you greeting me when I come home from work.
I'll think of you when I let you out for your little walk in the hallway.
I'll remember how you would snuggle up with me on the couch.

You were never a healthy cat and were kinda slow but the joy and comfort you brought to me can never be replaced...... how lucky I was to have you for all those years.
I love you Tessie and will miss you.

Karen McDade

There are no words to say how much I miss
Tessie.
Although, I have lost animals in the past, she was my "child" and we loved each other unconditionally.
The thought of seeing her on the other side of the "Rainbow Bridge" is what keeps me hopeful.

I will always love you, Tessie.
Thanks for being a part of my life.

Ginger

Tessy:

You were are special little angel and we loved you so.
There is not a day that goes by that we do not think of you and miss you with all our hearts.
There seems to be an emptyness there that can not be filled.
We will join you again someday and then maybe our hearts will heal.

Gene & Mike Howe

Tessy , I love you and miss you .I cry for you and want to hold you in my arms again. Wait for me, I will be with you again,my baby.

Julie Basso

Tetley was the most loyal, loving,special little dog that ever was! She had a very special relationship with her grandma that no one else could fill. Grandma and Tetley are now together again and grandma's "little puppy" is sitting on her lap once again! Thank you Tetley for all the love you gave all of us and all the happiness you spread over you 16 years! You will be missed forever!

Laurie Anderson

You are our very special boy!
We miss you so very much!
You are the very best lead dog.
We will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge!
Say hi to all our other boys and girls.
Until we meet again - many kisses!

Angie and Mark Wagner

I lost my beloved little Shih Tzu, Tex, this morning.
He fought the good fight his entire life against very tough odds.
He was born with liver disease, had several surgeries for calcium oxalate stones, had Cushing’s Disease, renal failure, a couple of unknown tumors in nasty places, failing vision, thoracic disk problems, heart disease, and a myriad of lesser problems.
Despite all this, his quality of life had been good up to this point, and no creature could have been more tolerant, or brave or stoic though it all.
As was typical of Tex, he gave me one last gift by taking “the decision” out of my hands.
He passed quietly, while lying next to me, and at home. He would have been 14 years old in January.

Tex wasn’t a conformation Shih Tzu, and wasn’t even average when it came to performance activities, although he tried his best to please me.
But he was my first agility teammate, and introduced me to a sport I love, and that’s strengthened my bond with all my dogs. In addition, agility probably saved Tex’s life when he was young, because health issues became obvious to me long before they might have been if he was a pure couch potato.
His nemesis was the teeter, but with some creative incentives, he overcame it.
In his very brief agility career he earned many ribbons, and even a few titles. Unfortunately, he just wasn’t healthy enough to compete for very long.

But Texie’s true calling was being the best little doggie friend and companion I could possibly ask for.
He was a serious little dude though, not given to clowning around or being mischievous.
He was calm, steady and predictable, and had he been healthy enough to be approved, he would have been a superb therapy dog.
He loved all animals and people.
He was serene, tolerant and gentle, even with wild children, rambunctious or rude puppies, nasty cats, the frail and the elderly, and my pushy Papillons.
He was never demanding, irritable, or uncooperative, despite the most trying circumstances.
His body began betraying him practically from birth, yet his spirit shined throughout his life.
My vet called him the Energizer Bunny, because he lived so much longer than anyone thought he would – due to his indomitable spirit.
But most of all, he was just the most unbelievably sweet-natured dog you can imagine.

He taught me a lot about caring for a chronically ill pet, and about small animal medicine in general, and about canine nutrition, and to think creatively about training, and to find the greatest joy in the simplest things.

My sweet Tex warmed my lap and my heart, and I’ll miss him forever.
Run free, little Tex!

Shelley

Only 4 short months but Tex broght so much love and laughter into our lives that it will last a lifetime. We'll see you at the bridge, my precious furbaby!

Alvin and Rhonda Shelton

Tex was a good and loyal friend. He was quite a clown at times and could always keep us laughing. He will be greatly missed.

John & Becky Geurin

Texas who was much loved and cherished passed on July 24 2007 because she had a case of cancer.Texas was the best dog anyone could ever have. She only lived to the age of 9. We adopted Texas at the age of two from the local pound. All the way to her last day she was just wonderful. Texas will always be our memories and our hearts.

Michael Zimmermann

I send tribute to the sweetest cat you'd ever want to meet: one Teysha Roo Lee Ball. She was found in the parking lot of a place called Loretta's Fabulous Cheesecakes in South Austin, Texas in 1993. I send tribute to her because she was the wonder cat of all time; she rode with me cross country TWICE in a U-Haul van and never peed, pooped or made a peep in her cat carrier.
I promised her I'd make her a medal after that but finally resorted to buying her a replica of the Medal of Courage awarded to the Cowardly Lion in the film The Wizard of Oz. She was truly the sweetest, mellowest cat you'd ever meet. Her meows came out Ma-Gow. She slept by head very night for the past 14 years. She was loved by all who met her and her presence is already missed. Till we meet again, sweetie.

Wayne Zinkand

Thai, you were something very special to me and to your litter sister Missy.
We miss you very very much and will see you in Heaven.
You live on in our hearts.

Augusta Eller

My Dearest Thai,Letting you go was the hardest thing I've had to do.
I'll see you again, in apple blossom time.

Susan Woodhouse

We got The Bear as a puppy that someone else had discarded. He grew into the most gentle, loving, trusting adult who shared with me the loss of Phred, the kids moving away, good times and bad times. He always had a smile and a wag of encouragement, and would greet me at the door with his favorite disemboweled stuffed toy. He NEVER complained, even when the pain got intense. I miss him.

Sandi Barrett

My special "Angel Boy" was sent to me from Heavan as a stray. He was a gentle soul with a loving heart, trusting eyes and a hungry belly. He stood by me through good times and bad, the one constant light in my life, a loving, faithful companion til the end. After fighting Feline Aids for many years, I was with him last night when he finally "earned his wings". As he slipped away, I held him and asked him to wait for me on the other side. God has called my Special Angel home. I love you my sweet Boy, I'll see you again someday.

Jenn Dunwoodie

This very special Carribbean island girl suffered head trauma as a very young pup. We found her and 2 littermates on the side of the road. The Crash Dog was the only pup with the desire to live even though she already had postural and neurological deficits. She matured into a lovely, intelligent dog with postural and neurological deficits.

The Crash Dog never had a sick day in her almost 11 years of life. She was full of joy which was evident in her play.

Sadly, the puppyhood neurological damage manifested itself in her advanced years. Sadly, I had to say goodby to the Diggity Dog.

The Crash Dog was certainly unique. When I am sad or feeling overwhelmed, I think of The Crash Dog and her joy of life. I imagine her brown button eyes looking into mine so intently that her ears quiver. She is telling me all is well.

Dr. Pamela Small

Our beloved Golden daughter, Annie, (The Golden Goddess Athena aka… Bellie, Annie Belle, Stinky, Little Girl, Baby Puppy, Annie Bananie) passed over the Rainbow Bridge on Friday, November 23, 2007 after a sudden illness that struck her on Thanksgiving morning at her residence in New Milford, Connecticut. She was a native of New Hampshire being born on May 19, 1996. Annie was the canine daughter of “Promise Me Magic” an International Grand Champion. She shared his love of tomatoes and children. Annie was home schooled by Thomas Dwyer. Throughout her life, Annie was often noted to be a particular well behaved and enjoyable dog to be around. We both were grateful how many homes she was always welcomed in regularly, no matter how muddy her paws or how much she shed of her beautiful strawberry blonde mane.

Annie was well traveled living in four states (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Georgia and Connecticut) in her 11 ½ years and visiting over 15 states. Yes, she left her “mark” in everyone! She was blessed with many canine friends. Annie would want to thank them for their sharing of their toys, human parents and water bowls. Some of them include Kaleb, Ruger, Winston, Sidney, Maverick, Tucker and Bosco.

Among Annie’s favorite activities, beyond her position as receptionist and security guard at her Mzinga (formerly Shared Insights), were chasing tennis balls, swimming in especially the ocean, having her belly rubbed, sniffing the air on her mound, cheering on a bicycle races and going anywhere in the car.

Annie is survived by her human father and mother, her canine Brittany brother, Seamus, and feline sister HRH the Duchess of Brannydoon. She is also survived by her maternal and paternal grandparents and many uncles, aunties, and cousins that all loved and miss her dearly.

She will never depart from our hearts even though hers loved so much it burst from providing a life time of joy. Services have not yet been planned. Donations in her memory can be made to the Animal Charity of your choice or Adopt a Golden Atlanta Rescue Organization.

Funeral Blues

W H Auden ... modified for Annie

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,

Prevent Seamus from barking with a juicy bone,

Silence the pianos and with muffled drum

Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead

Scribbling on the sky the message She Is Dead,

Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,

Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

She was my North, my South, my East and West,

My working week and my Sunday rest,

My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;

I thought that love would last for ever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;

Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;

Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood,

For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Pauline Brannigan

It is in the profound pain and sadness I feel, that I relish in the unlimitless love and joy we shared.

I hope you're waiting for me.

Andrea Hubert

My darling Jester, I truely loved you. Phoenix, your mate, misses you terribly. I Cry every day when I hear her calling for you.
She is carrying you foal, so, all going well, come October we should have a little Jester to carry on your memory.
We don't undestand how it all happened and we never will.
It just makes it harder to cope.
Run free little man.

Ruth McMahon

You were my baby. I can't believe what happened to you. He told me you died. I couldn't believe you could die and I not know. Now I find out you were given away, somewhere far away, to hurt me. I wish I could find the people who became your family. I wish I knew what happened to you. I hope your life was good. I grieved for you for so long, and now all over again. Know that I loved you. I would have come for you if I could. I still miss you.

Geraldine Hraban

I lost my 19 year old kitty, MITTENS last week. She was my best friend, my baby girl. Always loyal, always comforting and my most consistent unconditional love in my life. I am feeling empty without her, my home was filled with her love and joy. I looked so forward to being with her each day after work and on the weekends. I know she is in a better place and we will meet again. I can't wait to hold her, kiss her head and see her little blinking eyes, showing her love for me. I am honored that she was in my life for so long.

Mittens, 3/88 - 9/30/2007
In loving memory, Georgeann and John
(The Mitter kitty)

My best buddy went to the Rainbow Bridge today.
I held him as he took his last breath.
Motorman was a stray rescued from a carwash - many of his litter mates were PTS because they were considered 'feral'.
Thank God mine was taken by a caring person who was determined to find a home for him.
Motor hid for four months when I got him, I just left him alone to decide it was safe.
Once he was confident enough to come out,
he never left my side thereafter.
Motor was the cat who disproves all the cat sterotypes...he followed me around, he liked to lay around my shoulders, even while I did the dishes.
He was absolutely fascinated with everyone who came into our home and showered all with rubbing, climbing into laps, and gentle head butts if he really liked you.
He purred right up to his last moments as I stroked him.
Despite being very ill, he maintained his gentlemanly demeanour, such a dignified old fellow.
He knew he was number one in my heart, so he generously allowed every animal who came into our house to get equal time without even a hint of jealousy.
His housemates will miss him too...I think Sam I Am, my dog, already has figured it out.
He sniffed the carrier as I took Motor to the back yard for burial and watched quietly from the screen door.
Uncharacteristically, Sam seems to be leaving me in peace to grieve.
He knows I'm still saying goodbye.
Good bye old friend, thank you for comforting me, sharing your love, and giving me so much laughter.
Goodbye, goodbye.

Jan Pinney

Our Dear Slink:

I have forgotten how to cry
But the sky remembers
And sheds the healing tears
That experience and years
Have taught me to discipline and dry.
The sky and I have an agreement about pain
And I love rain. (M. Drury)

How we have loved you these past fifteen years and how terribly we will miss you.
You were the sweetest and best black kitty the world has ever seen and we hated to let you go. Thank you for all the joy and delight you brought to Poppy's and my life.
You were the glue in our marriage and the ever present little one on Poppy's lap, and the curled up ball of fur cuddled next to me in bed.
You purred in my ear and licked my tears when I knew you were going to leave us.You stayed right by my side and had a wonderful outdoor patrol just before you left for Rainbow Bridge. Even though you hate the rain, you forged ahead outside this morning though the raindrops kept coming.
You showed us how brave you really are. Forgive our selfishness in wanting to keep you forever, even when we knew you were ready to leave.
Please wait for us. We will see you again. Your sister
Pygeen already misses you and so does your adopted brother, Lipps.
Pewter was glad he got to meet you before you left and wants you to know that he can never take your place, but he'll try to be as sweet and good as you always have been.
You are the GOLD at the end of the rainbow.
We love you now and always will and you will be so sadly missed.
Blessings Sweet Boy,
Mommy and Poppy

What a sweetie you were. You found me in the dark on Holloween night in 1991. I saw your little white nose coming out of a bush as you meowed. I took you home and the rest was a companionship made in heaven.We spent 15+ wonderful years together and you were my special angel! I hear your little grunts every day, I see your shadow outside the shower door every morning and wish you were here.You and I had a special bond not to be matched. I wish I had known about the tainted pet food in January '07 and you would still be here. You suffered so much in that last month, I'll never forgive them. Your sister Squeek misses you too! I love you TWK, watch for me down the road sweetie! (http://community.webshots.com/user/tk442) Love and hugs, Dad

we miss you vary muth .

William L. Dickens

We miss you with all our hearts Tommy Tittle Mouse. Cant wait for the day to see you again at rainbow bridge. We love you baby. xxx

Lucy & Anne

We were invited to a friend of a friends bbq, and found a neglected cat or two. We adopted Thomas that very night (we also sorted out the other cats). He remained with us for 16 1/2 years. During that time I was VERY ill and he NEVER left my side.
In the end he was very ill himself and I never left his side, but when he was put to sleep it didnt go well.
I was, and still am, in turmoil.
I wish he could read this to know that I am so very sorry for the way the injection didn't take and I hope that he could forgive me.
He was and always will be 'My Little Man'.
Thomas, sweet sweet man, rest in peace.

All of my cats have been and are very precious, so I cannot forget them too. Sweet dreams all, maybe I will meet you all again one day.

Your mummy :)

Thomas was a "gentleman" cat who was a stray. He would come and eat at our house and sun himself in our driveway. He also lived at a neighbor's house. My neighbor told me that he'd been there since she moved in 5 years ago (we'd been here for 4).

Thomas was a good boy who loved being petted, but was adamant about not being picked up. He would rub against our legs and talk to us. One time, he snuck into our house. When I went to bed, I saw who I thought was my other black cat in a chair, curled up and fast asleep. My husband came home later and realized it was Thomas.

He was a sweet boy. My 2-year-old had started calling him "Tom-Tom" (my nickname for him) and was pointing out that "Tom-Tom eat, Mommy!" when we fed him. She would pet him and he would purr and rub against her hand. I don't know how to tell her that Tom-Tom won't be coming back.

I will always miss Tom-Tom. I know he is in a better place and will look forward to seeing him at the Rainbow Bridge.

Goodbye, sweet baby. You were a good kitty and you will be greatly missed.

Julie

The closest, most special friend I ever had, human or animal.
You will be greatly missed.
There are not enough words to describe the hole left in my heart.

Conan & Katie Coombs

Beloved companion and friend to our family and all his furred brethren. Dearly loved and sadly missed by Willmott, Adriana and Darcliffe. Gone to be with William and Guthrie . We'll meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Adriana Mountjoy

We knew it when we saw you
You were the one for us
You stood up when we came along
And asked us for some fuss

We took you home and loved you
And life was full of pleasure
A love so unconditional
A love that can't be measured

Now you're gone it hurts so much
We can't stop feeling sad
But you'll be in our hearts and souls
Forever, your mum and dad. xxxxxx

MY DEAR THOMAS HOW I MISS YOU MY FAITHFUL FRIEND, I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS.
I CANNOT PUT INTO WORDS HOW I FEEL; YOU WERE SO SPECIAL TO ME.
NOW YOU ARE WITH YOUR LIFE LONG COMPANIONS JAMES AND JESSIE WHO WE LOST 22 MONTHS AND 20 MONTHS AGO. LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH.
I WILL SEE YOU ALL ONE DAY AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.
LOVE, HUGS, CUDDLES & KISSES FROM YOUR SPECIAL PERSON.

Sue Clarkson

Thomas was a really special cat.So loving and sensitive to peoples emotions.Ive had him since I was 5yrs old and he meant the world to me. My mum died 2yrs ago and having Thomas meant that I wasn't alone...he even sat on my knee and let me cry into his fur..that's how loving he was.
He has been very sick the last few months and it was heartbreaking to see him that way. I chose to have him put to sleep as he was so ill and unhappy...I miss him terribly and always will.
I really believe he is such a special soul and hope I will one day be with him again.

Jenny Mawdsley

You were such a good kitty boy and Mommy & Daddy love you.
Tell all of our other
children there we said hello and we'll see you soon!

Thomas our baby Tommy... our friend, hero, beloved, son, father,companion, teacher, guardian, forever present, adoring and adored. You will always be remembered with joy amidst the ache. The return meeting anticipated by us.
Thomas, you make our dying seem easier and safer...to know you will once again jump up to welcome and bestow your kisses.

We will love you forever,
Mommy and Daddy

Dear Thomasina,

It's been 4 years since we lost you and we wanted you
to know that we still miss you.
You overcame so much and became such a wonderful little friend for us and we really appreciated your presence in our lives.
I will always regret that I sent you away with the vet for your last moments -- you should have been in my arms hearing my voice, and smelling my scent.
I hope you forgive me for not being strong enough to share that with you.
I know if I could do it again -- I would.
Tom-tom...we love you and miss you, and we hope that one day you'll show us your ginger-coloured belly again and that we'll be able to reach down and stroke it for you.
You'll always be in our hearts.
Be well, and may we meet again.
We will always love you Tom-tom.

Sonja & Simon

Thor-boy, I found you at a animal rescue. Someone was dumb enough to think you were not worthy, but were they ever wrong! You were the smartest, quickest, and most loving friend. In your 10 years you traveled with me all over California, to Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Tennessee. You flew on airliners, and rode seadoos. All you wanted to do was please, you lived to satisfy and protect. I wish I had been with you when you left. I wanted to hold you as you took your last breath. For that I am sorry, and once again, as so often in the past, I failed you, while you stood strong. I will miss you. See you at the bridge Thor-boy!

Mark

Thor you where a magnifacent animal,my protector,confidant and best friend.You saved me many times my dear friend.God blessed me the day I was sent to your rescue.I rescued you from death that day but you rescued me countless times.You where loved by all creatures and humans.Rest in peace until we meet again.I love you boy,you are in the history book.

Ann E Madden

See ya soon!

Mike DeLost

Our hearts are broken when we found our beautiful and beloved baby on the side of the road, killed by a hit and run driver, taken in the prime of his life at 7.
He was a special and unique long coat, b/t/silver German Shepherd friend that knew our thoughts before we did.
His intelligence, love, devotion, and protection can never be matched in our life and we miss him terribly.
We know we will see him in Heaven and that God has a special purpose for our Thor.

Nancy & Mike Crager

My Beloved Thor, My Heart, My Greatest Love, My Fur Child.
A piece of my heart went with you.
'Til we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge, "Pop".
I've rescued two more since my life was so empty without you.
Didn't want to go through the loss again; however, you taught me that unconditional love is worth it.
Love & Woofs Forever, Mommy Patty & Daddy Don

Thor was almost 10 years old today, March 2, 2007, as he was born on March 9, 1997.
He has been with our family ever since the spring of 1997, the day I finished my second year of law school in May.
At first, although cute, frankly, Thor looked to me like a baby with fetal alcohol syndrome.
However, his face quickly grew proportionate to his expressive eyes, and soon he was too small to nap in our dirty laundry, and chose our bed as his favorite place.
This, in addition to Kohai, led to very cramped sleeping in a queen sized bed.

Until the last year or so, Thor smelled sweet, like honey, really.

As an adolescent, Thor was full of energy, and would let us know if we didn't exercise him enough.
A famous incident of this occurred when Jane came home from work to find 6 pillows utterly destroyed and Thor asleep in the middle of them, having exhausted himself by tearing them apart.

Although fit and mostly healthy, Thor was big for a Boxer.
While most Boxers are 50-70 pounds, Thor was 85.
Despite being large, he was still very quick and lively until the last year or so.
A game I would play with Kohai and Thor, before Atticus was born, was pushing one of them away and then turning and pushing the other, then turning around quickly to push the other again, etc.
I clearly and fondly remember the time I didn't turn around quickly enough and Thor bit me on my right cheek through my shorts.

In 2000 Atticus was born, and Thor's role in the family as guardian was solidified.
Thor would watch over Atticus as if Atticus were his.
And while Thor recognized me as the "alpha-dog," he clearly felt he, not Jane, was next in line.
If people walked by our house, Thor would charge the fence barking, sometimes knocking out pickets.

In 2002 we moved into our current house, and Thor became even more of a protector.
He once leapt a 4-foot fence and chased down some fledgling criminals who tried to take some things from outside our house.
A few years ago down on the Umpqua River, Thor bolted out of our tent to attack a bobcat that had come too close.

Through all of this, Thor was also very macho, needing to be dominated or establish dominance.
Being an 85-pound Boxer, he usually dominated.
One exception was a black cat in the neighborhood who swiped Thor across the face, making him cry and whimper.
Another was a 15-pound dog named Percy did not back down to Thor and bit him on the nose.
Had Thor been a human being, he would have been the not-so-bright but loveable jock who lifts weights on his upper body only and ignores his legs, drives a convertible 1990's Corvette, wears gold chains with an open shirt, but who would also be there to protect those who needed it: amusing but harmless, kind, and absolutely good-natured and loyal at heart.

Thor loved the beach, the river, lying by the fire and he loved us most of all.
After Kohai died two years ago, Thor became an even more constant companion, especially to Jane.
Jane has now been working, mostly from home, for the last eight months and their routine had developed as such: after Jane returned from taking Atticus to school, she'd gather her work materials, phone and laptop and settle down in bed so Thor could lie on her legs as she worked.
He was happiest with us, particularly lying down and snuggling.

In the end, Thor had a bout with cancer late last year, and came through that.
But he has been developing spinal column problems for years that culminated, and only came to our attention, last Sunday with Thor's right leg suddenly being almost completely lame.
After much discussion, research and consultation with our vet, we decided that it was time for Thor to rest.
While very sad, we believe this was the right decision at the right time.
We will miss him tremendously.
As Jane says, Thor was the dog of a lifetime.

Jonathan, Jane & Atticus

Thor was a very special dog and a very unique dog. Everyone that knew him will tell you the same.
My husband has been with him since the day he was born and he was 12 years old when passed.
I was with him for almost 7 years and I am very thankful that I had that time to spend with him!!
Thor, you will be missed by many. You were also loved by many.

Mom & Daddy love you so much Thor and we will always have you with us in our heart! We miss you dearly and always will!
We will see you again one day!!

Paul & Kayla R

Rest now, my beloved boy.

We'll see you again at The Bridge.

Love,
Mommy, Katey, and Grammy

Thora was a special little girl. She brought such happiness to our family and will be missed more then anything. Our lives will never be the same and no other animal will ever take her place. We know she will be waiting for us on the Rainbow Bridge and shower us in her sloppy puppy kisses. She went so soon, but in her brief little life, she gave us so much love to last 2 life times. We love you Thora and miss you more then anything!!!!

Tricia McFadden

Our big Clown we love you and miss you so much.love mom, dad and george

Lucy

Three the Hamster ( Eight's big sister ) was sweet & loveable. Sometimes bossy. Missing a finger from fighting with sister Eight. Missed very much by her 2-leggers & cat sisters. We will never forget you...til we meet again...we love you Three!

Mike and Karen Harton

Time spent together is what we had for 13 years.
Now all we have now is time alone to heal our broken hearts.
We will miss you more than you will ever know.
Cancer is such an ugly word, and for a beautiful animal to have to succumb to it is too much to bare.
We will think of you always and forever. We will remember you as a young, strong and healthy girl, running through the glorious fields that lie across the Rainbow Bridge.
(Watch out birds and rabbits!) Peace be with you always, Thumbelina!!! We love you so much!!

Michelle Carroll

Hey Thump, you precious bunny.
I am sure Nana - your Mommy, is taking care of you in Heaven.
Play nicely with the cats and my dogs.
I love you - Delilah

Mom knows you were sick dear Thumper and never held it against you when you got mad and scratched her. I knew that keeping you here would have meant nore suffering for you so I sent you to the bridge where you could happy and well again.
I hope you met your brother Punkin and helped him over the bridge.
Mom misses you both so much.

Love,
Mom and Brat

Thumper, I will always remember you. The way you use to run around the house like the crazy bunny you were. I also remember the bad times, like how you use to have a taste for clothing. My favourite shirt still has holes in it! I also remember the time when you, in a fit of anger, bit me so hard it left a scar. But atleast I still have that to remember you! Today, as we bury you, I'll cry, but I know we will see each other again soon. But it will take so long. I wont forget you my adorable lil' brown Thumper...I know I will definetly not forget your floppy ears and how we use to take naps together...I love you Thumper, and Good-bye.

Susannah Cline

Thumper, I miss you more today than I did the day you died. You will forever be in my heart.

Dorothy Gillespie

How I miss you so much,my sweet Thumper.
I know that I will have other pets who I will love,but you will always be the best. I miss seeing your shining big brown eyes and your ever-wagging tail. I think about you everyday,with joy and sometimes tears.You will always be in my
heart,my beloved Thump.

Lisa Cortines

Mike and Diana

Thumper was the sweetest, most amazing rabbit ever. I helped make him happy again after he hadn't been treated very well and he rewarded me with all the love in the world. I love him very much and I can't believe it has been a year since he has passed. I love you and I can't wait to cross the Rainbow Bridge with you

Carolyn

My companion, my fried, you are gone but will never be forgotten.
You were taken from us all too soon.
I know that you are watching over us.
Please take good care of my son and my daughter.
I will see you again someday my beloved Thunder.
my heart aches for you still.

Bob Abel

Good-bye my beloved baby.
Someday we will meet again across that Rainbow Bridge.
You are missed more than you will ever know.

I love you Thunder, you always knew that, I always told you that, I always showed you.

You will never leave my heart.

I love you, your mommy.

i will miss my grandcat, Thunder, who always let me pet him once but never twice...the little curmudgeon hissed and bit at the second time but he was so loveable and even unwrapped his own xmas presents by checking out the catnip...i look forward to seeing him over the rainbow bridge

Sandee Walsh

In memory of the only being I've ever known who lived as he wished every single day of his life. In his little cat body lived the spirit of a great and ferocious lion roaming the African plains who envisioned his prey to be not mice but buffalo and his power to be unrivaled.

He will live forever in my heart and memories - as a cherished pet and inspiration.

Lisa Williams

Godspeed my little one.
Thank you for blessing us with your loving spirit all these years.
You will be in our hearts forever.
Mom, Dad, Ms. Duchess and Montana. XOXOXO

Cheryl Lentz

You were my angel while you were on earth...and now you have been at the Bridge for four years.
It doesn't seem possible that you and your sister made the journey so long ago. Just thinking of you two makes me cry.
I know you are in a better place and that I will see you again...but, I miss you so much. Dearest Thunder...I miss the hot cat breath that was blown in my ear every morning to wake me up to fix your breakfast! May God bless you.

Nonie Kearney

My "Grumpy Old Man", you are sorely missed!

Ione E. Snyder

Tdog was my wonderful companion and watchdog, as I live alone.
He was a used/abused dog when I got him, but his spirit was never broken.
He never grew up, but remained as joyful and happy as a puppy for all of his years. I miss him every day.

Martha Engel

Thurber was a real character cat. He had his own way of 'running the household. Derek had him for many years since Thurber was a kitten. Derek was such a caring 'Dad.' Thurber will never be forgotten and will be so dearly missed by Derek and Tristan (the family dog) and all who knew Thurber.

She’s done.

My cat Thursday, died last night. For over half of my life she has been part of my everyday....and now she has moved on.

Hollow is how I feel.

For the record, She struggled mightily and long to live. The last two years of her days were less than spectacular, though she still liked to have food and scritches. She went the way I had always hoped, in her sleep and apparently without a struggle. She had gone through so much in her life, she deserved that much.

21 years is a long time for a cat. She nearly made it to 22. I cry for all that she and I have been through together but not for her death. I know it is high time she surrender and cross the rainbow bridge. No animal deserves a rest as much as she does.

I am blessed every time I remember how faithful, loving and gentle she has been with me. I owe her so much and seem to find so few words to express the depth of my gratitude.

Our house will be a bit bigger and a lot more lonelier without her.

Play in the sun little girl...I will miss you.

Deborah Wright

We will miss you our tough little guy.

We love you squrrel!
Love, Mom & Dad

'Little pumpkin seed', we will miss you soooo much.
Your little life here on earth was so brief; we hope your time with us was happy.
Kia, Cassi, and Katy (your pet 'siblings') miss you and we will all keep you in our hearts forever.
Sleep well, we look forward to seeing you again at Rainbow Bridge.

Marley

Tica was special.
She also was a little fatty.
She would sit on the top of her dry food container when she felt it was time for food, food, glorious food.
She lived a good life, finally settling on her sofa on Cape Cod all warm and cozy in front of the fireplace.
Now she is with her old buddy, Mary, and they are laying in the sun, blessed by God.

Brooke Eaton-Skea, Brian and The Girls, All Who Loved Tica So Much

my dearest friend and companion, Tickey boy.I just will never stop missing you.You were so loved by so many. Be at peace my little boy.I wish I had been there to help you at the end.

Angela Alford

Tickles literally traveled around the world with us - from New Jersey to Hong Kong and back again. She loved her pig ears and toys and her friend Ginger. She comforted us all through difficult times and was the joy of our lives in happy times. Her buddy Leia misses her but we know she and Ginger are playing once again. And we are sure she is stealing hamburgers and cookies!

Jane Brown-O'Gorman

My baby girl Tickles Marie. My spoiled little girl :-) I love you so much and miss you every day.
Your light was so bright and it will shine forever.
I miss you sitting with me in the morning while I have my tea.
You always had to lay right next to me and lay your head on my lap. You were so loving. I miss your kisses. I open the refrigerator door and expect you to come running to put your paws on the shelf look for food.
I miss your company as I get ready in the morning. I miss tucking you in every night with "Bunny" and waking up every morning with you next to my bed. You will be back I know.
I look forward to that day.
I love you and miss you with all my heart and soul Babydoll.
Good-bye for now.

Janie Landes

Dear Tiddles,
It has been nearly a year since your passing and I cannot complete this without tears. You were a wonderful friend and we miss you so much-Life will never be the same without you.We hope you have found somewhere happy and safe to play and know we love you,Mum and Dadx

Tiddy Tat - what a girl you were.
Always into mischief, but always such a lady about it.
You were so ladylike and delicate that it was hard to believe how much trouble you could get into!
Not a day goes by that I don't remember your "wise apple" look of disdain you sometimes gave the world.
You were a very special lady and you are still here in my heart, as you always will be.
I ask that you keep special watch over your baby sister Cricket who has now joined you at the Rainbow Bridge.
Gently guide her - I'm sure you remember how much trouble she could get into.
Someday, I'll be there to hold both of you again, but for now, rest assured you are loved and missed.
Rest in peace dear one.

Cindy Tucker

For our beautiful Tucker -- Thank you for giving us nearly eleven years of love, joy and laughter. Our time together was simply too short, but we have you in our hearts forever.
We know that sweet Sonnet was waiting for you, and her joy at having you with her again makes the sorrow in our hearts at losing you lighter.

Tien, my funny little valentine;

I HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE WAITING FOR ME WHEN THE TIME COMES THAT I MUST LEAVE THIS WORLD TOO.

In Loving Memory

Tiffany "Tiffy" Leigh Baker Lindeen
December 05, 1994 - August 13, 2007

Dear Family and Friends

It is with great sadness that Tom and I tell you of the passing of our precious baby girl Tiffy.
She fought a long hard battle for over 6 years with a failing liver.
She had a great many ups and downs over the last few years but she was a fighter.
Earlier this week she experienced what the doctors believe to be a mild stroke.
For a few days after she seemed to be getting better.
Then Sunday evening she worsened dramatically experiencing another more severe stroke.
Tom and I had to make the difficult decision to end her suffering and let her go.
Both Tom and I were able to be with her and hold her in her final moments.
She was surrounded by her loving doctor and staff from Sprayberry Animal clinic who have taken such good care of her for the last 5 years.
I know she is safe and happy now, but my heart aches and my arms are empty.
Only once in a persons life will there ever be want is known by pet lovers as your "heart dog".
While I have owned and loved many dogs throughout my life, for me Tiffy was my "heart dog".
She had many nick names - Tiffers, Tifferdoodles, Doodle and Doodlebug, Senorita Margarita (Tom's idea!), peanut, peanutbutt (now that's a funny story!), BitBit (Tom's latest) and Tom's oddest but she seemed to love it - Miss Farfennugen 2001 (don't ask me!).
To me she was always "sweetpea".
She was the light of my life and I can not imagine what my life would have been like without her.
While I grieve for her now, the joy, laughter and love she brought to me (and then to Tom after our marriage) makes me so grateful and lucky that she was a part of my life for over 12 years.
But for now, I know she is waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge where she is happy and well again.
And when my time comes, she will be there to meet me and take that final walk together.

Rest in peace my precious sweetpea.

Sandy, Tom and Jake (her baby brother) Lindeen

Blessings to you, Dear Friend Tiffy, and thank you for your beloved companionship over the years. We know that you will be again full of life on the Rainbow Bridge. We will miss you dearly until we meet you again in the land that we shall all roam free. See You Soon, Tiffy...

Grace Bellman

Tiga was a big Tabby kitty with an even bigger heart. She was a solid presence in our household, and is so deeply missed. She was never ill until a week before she died. She became ill so quickly and progressed so rapidly that it was over before we knew it. She has been buried in a peaceful place with a pond and trees nearby. I also planted daffodils around her grave. She is kept safe by 3 large rocks placed on top of her grave--one each from myself, my husband--whom she had chosen as hers--and our daughter. She is forever and always in our hearts.

Suki

sweet cat with a special attitude. loved by noelle and lucky and cane and baby

Tiger crawled out of the gutter at my daughters bus stop 12 years ago. I took him home, fed him, fell in love with him and last night told him Good-Bye. For now......

What a great cat, always up for adventure and very social/close with our 3 kids.
She will be deeply missed.
We love you Tiger!

Tiger was a part of our family for 9 years. He loved to play hide & seek, and sleep on his daddy's pillows!! I could have never imagined how hard loosing him would be. Thankfully, we were able to spend time with him before being euthanized. You are no longer suffering and I know your sister Molly is with you now. I'll love you forever.

My Tiger,

I miss you still! We met when I was 9 years old and we developed a special bond over the years. You were always so determined and adventurous but unfortunetly that is what brought you to your end. We spent 7 wonderful years together. You were my little watch dog, always proctective of me. I lost you when I needed you the most but you remain close to my heart. I hope you're happy where you are at and always know that I will never EVER forget you! Run free mi chiquito chaparrito!

Cindy Almazan

Dear Tiger (Little Guy, Bo Bo, Beezu, Little Man)thank you for letting us into your life.
Thank you for eighteen wonderful years. The decision to let you go was difficult, but, it was because we loved you so dearly and did not want to see you in pain anymore.

Unitl we meet again, goodbye from Mommy and Daddy.

Tiger, 01/21/94

Even though I really never got to know you Tiger, I still remember you standing there by the patio together with Tom Tom your new buddy.
I never saw you before then, feeding all the homeless kitties of the neighborhood. But Tom Tom introduced me to you. But there was something wrong with you, you just didn't look and seemed healthy, as I usually can detect. And yes, the vet found you had Feline Leukemia after you tested positive at the rotten vet Dr. David, she told me you should be put to sleep. I had no choice since the treatment was extremely expensive and I didn't have the money for that at all at the time.
You would have otherwise suffered too much before death would have taken you away.
I never got to know you well Tiger, but you trusted me and I loved you for that. I actually still miss you because I was thinking of adopting both you and Tom Tom, but neither of you made it because of the Leukemia. You accidentally infected him. It can be a killer disease if not treated in time.
Love you my buddy! You were a very good boycat!

John O. d'Ancona

Tiger lived with me for 21 years.

Penni Helsene

My Dear Tiger,
Thank you for the many wonderful years we had together. I will never forget the day we first met or how you worked you way from my porch to my house and into my heart. No one could have asked for a kinder soul. It was so hard to see you go but I know for sure you are in a better place then with your suffering. Your two other brothers have passed and I hope that you will look out for them and show them around the Bridge. I can not wait to see you all again.

Elaine Cohen

We love you, Small.
Stay safe up there.

Hayley and Sarah

My wee Tiger Puss

Marie Simpson

Tiger was a wonderful little grey kitty that we brought home from the vet's office 5 years ago.
She had been living there but was in need of a good home, which we readily provided for her.
It didn't take long for us to fall in love with her warm, friendly personality and her adorable little face.
Sadly, she developed a bowel disorder from which she was not able to recover and we lost her tonight (7/27/07) after being ill for 2 months.
We had hopes for a full recovery, but unfortunately it just wasn't meant to be. Tiger was a wonderful little feline companion and we are going to miss her very much.

Nancy and Brian McAlley

we will miss him alot

Tyler

Tiger was the world's most loyal kitty. She loved being outside and would follow us everywhere we went. She was never overly clingy in that annoying way, just protective with a real desire to keep us company. She used to know exactly what time the school bus would drop me off when I was younger. Each afternoon, she would be waiting at this spot at the corner of the house and the driveway. She'd go to the end of the driveway to meet me as I was getting off the bus, then walk me back to the house. Whenever we walked to the pond, she would be there. She used to go nuts with the Christmas tree skirt - she'd grab it with her front paws and kick it with her back feet. It was so funny to watch. There was never a point in arranging the tree skirt nicely because she would just come and tackle it!

Tiger was SO clever and so observant. She outlived many feline friends, caught more mice than I can count, and still went outside to enjoy some fresh air until the very end. Tiger, we love you more than words can express. We can't wait to see you again, happy and healthy, and be with us forever.

Christine and Bernard Gagne

My wonderful, clever Tigger.
30/04/07 These last two and a half years without you have been such an emotional time. Your name is always mentioned and I know that you are still with me, watching and waiting for our time together once again. When I shall once again see all my special friends once again. The other mogs, I'm sure, still miss you so much, even after all this time.
You were the first cat that let me look after you for all these years in my adult life and it was a pleasure.
I still look out for you and at times, still think I see you when I see another with your tabby markings, but it's not to be and no one else would ever have your personality.
Rest well my friend, in all of eternity I am but a blink of an eye away from seeing you once again at the Rainbow Bridge.
Stan

We miss you big guy.
You were our gentle giant and you have left a void in our hearts.
Cheyenne misses you terribly.
Help her to heal.
We love you.

Mike and Ruth Staeuble

Tiger came into our lives at a difficult time for our family.
He was a very special and loving companion to my daughter, with a very strong bond to each other.
Tiger, you were like a son to Sam and were my little "grandson", as I always called you.
You will be missed so much.
We now realize that you were feeling very sick and can find comfort in knowing that you are no longer in pain.
Even though you are gone from this earth, I know that you will aways be with Sam and watching over her from heaven, Just as I know that Max is for me.
We will always love you and miss you, Tiger.
Love, Grandma

Tiger was one of a kind. She was always there with love. She was a cat who swayed those who did not care for cats, care, and love Tiger. I wish I could have been more of a friend. She was a good friend and companion. I miss her very much. She was the best thing of a failed love long ago. Tiger came from Texas, but lived in Maryland for her last 9 1/2 years I will always love her for what love she had given me. Tiger, you will be missed.

Carl Hockersmih

Tiger was a beautiful cat & a sweetheart that is very missed by us all. He was loyal & wonderful in every sense of the word. His ways of telling us what he was trying to say were always read & Tiger was just the answer to my prayers --for my Dad's sake. He will never be forgotten & will always be loved.He has left permanent paw prints on our hearts & I can't wait to see him & Tommy again some day. I Love you Tiger. Play all day long w/Tommy & know that we love you & miss you & Tommy both. God bless our babies in heaven.

Wendy, Mom & Dad

You are loved and missed, Tiger.

"Four Feet in Heaven"

Your favorite chair is vacant now...
No eager purrs to greet me.
No softly padded paws to run
Ecstatically to meet me.
No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry
Will say it's time for feeding.
I've put away your bowl, and all
The things you won't be needing;
But I will miss you little friend,
For I could never measure
The happiness you brought me,
The comfort and the pleasure.
And since God put you here to share
In earthly joy and sorrow;
I'm sure there'll be a place for you
In Heaven's bright tomorrow...

This is a tribute to my baby, Tiger, who was taken from me suddenly on Saturday morning, 2/24/07. He was one of the sweetest, most affectionate cats ever. He started out as a stray I found on my college campus one rainy night, but quickly made his permanent home in my apartment and heart. I will miss him terribly for the rest of my days, and look forward to him meeting me at the rainbow bridge.

Megan E. Harris

Our Tiger was the best friend anyone could hope for.
Tiger you will be loved and missed till the day We meet again!

Mark and Linda Stephens

Tiger,
You were such a special little friend. You had such a good life and were the luckiest kitty to be adopted from the shelter. Mommy, Daddy, Scott, Karen,Stephanie,& Jamie miss you so much, but we knew you were very sick. Holding you in my arms till your last breath gave me some peace, and I will always cherish that I could comfort you till the end. You are irreplaceable, and my heart is breaking at the loss of you.
You will always be our Little Kytzie, my little CuddleBug, My Baby Kytzie, Our Tiger.
Love you always..................

We will miss you Ticky Ticky Tiger. You were a good boy. Hugs and Kisses

Monica and Steve Brink

Tigs was a spunky little dog who fought back from kidney failure around Thanksgiving.
She was never totally the same.
She was always loving.
She loved playing Tigger ball.
As we were putting her to sleep just before she went under she gave me a kiss.
I like to think she was saying goodbye and thank you, while I was saying I love you, safe journey.
Find Lady and Scruffy little Tigs,see you later.

Ann Maes

Our T-man-T.
We love you.

May you rest in peace Tiger, alhtough it was not your time to go, we wait for the day that we can meet again. Just know that you were loved by all of us and still continue to be loved....we miss you!

Eddie, Paula, Mom & Dad

A wonderful little boy.
He was truly missed.

Scott, Shirley & Michael

He passed away on the street by a ruthless driver. I picked him up and helped my neighbor lay him/her to rest. Not even six months old yet. See you across the bridge with the others stray baby.

Mike

I miss you very much that i cant stop thinking about you i miss so much tigga. -- Jasa

I will miss seeing you bounce around the house everytime we come home and rushing to get in just so that you can greet us. --- Mommy

I will miss you jumping into the car to greet me and kiss me. --- Daddy

we love you girlie, rest in peace our beloved little baby girl...mow mow...mom and daad

Tiggy,
We held you ever so carefully, fed you your bottles and watched with baited breath and you made it.
For 12 years we watched you grow into a wonderful dog, a part of the family.
Tiggers after all bounce and you did. You filled are days with memeories of a pet who loved all. You stood watch over all of us and made sure all was well. You let us cry with you to listen to our problems and never once judged us.
The time came to let you go with the dignity you so richly deserved and no matter the tears and grief it means to us you deserved to go gently as you lived.
Give our love to Auntie B , Grampa Baxter, Mommy Stella and Charlie.
Look out for BOO BOO he will come with you.
We love and miss you Tiggy and you will forever be in our hearts,hugs, kisses and lots of pets till we meet again.
Shawn, Dawn, Jess, Mandy, Sara and Mitt.

Today a very special friend lost a long battle with Lymphoma.
Our son found him abandoned in the woods when he was so young he was only the size of my hand.
He grew to become the most loving, sweet cat I've ever known.
He left us far too young, but we feel comfort knowing that he packed more living into the 6 short years we had him than many cats experience in twice that time.
Rest in peace, buddy.
We will miss you terribly.

Jim

Our sweet "Tig-Tigs" came all the way from Okinawa Japan to Indiana! She was the most friendly cat ever! We will always think about her and be thankful for her sharing her wonderful, loving life with us.Domo Arigato (Thank you in Japanese) Tigger - San! We miss you!

Amy, John, and Leah Pawlus

To the most bouncy ferret, Tigger! A lover and fighter to the very end! He was and is very much loved and we miss him very much!

Tigger passed last night in my Husband's arms surrounded by those he loved and who loved him.

We will always remember Tigger, he will always be in our hearts! We miss you Tigger but we'll meet again!

John and Mia

My loving cat.
My son found her when she was about 1 year old.
7 years ago I moved & took her with me. She wasn't a lap cat, but very loving.
I love her sooo much & miss her soooo much & always will.
See you again, my Tig-Tig.

Jo Ann

Our beloved orange tabby cat with beautiful white markings, he was an affectionate little buddy.
Survived many things including a serious heart condition...then had a stroke.
We remember his adventures and his playfulness.
He is missed by all, even the dog.
He will be with us forever and we cherish our memories.
Can't believe he's gone.
The Rainbow Bridge is a beautiful comforting poem for all who have lost a pet.
Thank you Tigger for the joy you brought to our family.

N & C Jones

Our Sweet Tigger...you came into our lives eight years ago with a huge appetite for life.
We always said you went through life with joyous abandon!

You loved us all, but if truth be told you were definitely a Mommy's Girl.
Daddy never figured out how you would know that the bedroom door wasn't latched completely...you would hurl your body at the door to open it, then bound into the room and launch yourself at the bed to be with me.
If something interesting happened, like your sister Pooh Bear barking, you would FLY off the bed, legs spread, looking much like a flying squirrel, and tear down the hallway to see what was going on.
Other times you would crawl on your belly and "slither" slowly off the bed head-first (always making us laugh) and then crawl under the bed into your little cave.

You were our "shark dog"...you would often be in constant motion in the backyard, walking the perimeter with your nose to the ground...after all, it had been a whole minute since you were in that spot and who knows what might have walked through there in that time?
Then, if one of us called "cookie!" or "Daddy/Mommy's home", you would fly across the yard, fur plastered against your face, ready to give welcoming kisses.

You loved to ride in the car, especially when we would stop at a light and we would open the windows.
Daddy and I would laugh at the sight in the side mirrors...a Westie head would pop out of each window and we would watch the noses just twitch and twitch.
You had the most amazing nose...I don't know how you could move it like that!

You were a talker!
Besides barking (at which you were expert level..LOL!) you had so many vocalizations!
You rarely slept in one position for long and when you flipped over onto your back or changed position in any way, we would hear little moans and other noises.
When we rubbed your ears you made the cutest little noises of bliss.

You and Pooh had your moments...you tested her Alpha position many times.
The past year or two things changed quite a bit, and we smiled as the two of you slept in the back seat of the car on a long trip and we saw that you had moved so that you were as close to Pooh as you could get.

You were the best kisser ever...and while you loved almost everyone, you saved the bulk of your kisses for me and I loved that.
Even when you were so sick at the end, you would find the energy to give me a few kisses.

When we got the cancer diagnosis in March, we were devastated, but hopeful that the treatments would help you beat the odds.
You enjoyed almost six good months but then on September 17 you took a serious turn for the worse.
Dr. Moore and Dr. Harris did their best, but we soon realized that you were preparing to leave us.
On Wednesday, October 10, Daddy and I made the difficult decision to let you go.
The next night, a wonderful vet came to our house and with Mommy, Daddy and Auntie Brenda with you, we sent you to The Bridge with many tears and hearts bursting with love.
I knew instantly when you were gone and for a moment wanted nothing more than to bring you back, but I knew in my heart that you had fought long and hard and deserved a rest.
I held you for quite a while after your spirit left your little body and Daddy and I just looked at you, talked to you, and stroked your fur, knowing that for the first time in three weeks you were at peace and without pain.

When you left, you took pieces of our hearts with you, sweet one.
But no worries as you left behind part of you to fill those empty places.
We will never forget you and our love is eternal.
Run free and healthy at The Bridge while you wait for us to join you...Marcia will make sure you get belly scritches until I get there to do it myself.

Tigger, Sweetie-Pea, Puppykins, Demon Spawn :-), Tigs, Baby Girl...we miss you terribly and you will always live in our hearts.

Sara Studebaker and Jim Salamon

Tigger was a beloved friend.
She was kind, sweet, sensitive, gentle, loyal and at times funny.
We miss her greatly.

Gwen, David, Emily, & Scott Waldman

Dearest Tiger, you were the sweetest Golden there ever was. You could look deep into our souls
with those beautiful eyes and you understood and loved us so well. You were taken way too soon. Thank you for all of our walks at the lake looking at the ducks; thank you for our silly palying in the yard; thank you for sharing quiet time with me. We all loved you so much. Daddy and your boy miss you terribly. We are so sorry that we didn't see it coming.
Love, Mom

It's only been a few hours but I miss you so terribly, as do your sister and your kitty mom.
I enjoyed watching you and your little sister play together so care free.
You brought much joy to my life at a time when I so sorely needed cheering up.
You were with me for such a very short time but I loved you just as much as those who have been with for years.
I still see your little face, with those beautiful little eyes looking into mine with wonder, trust and love. Your injury (bite wound) was just too much for you to recover from though I tried everything.
I'm so glad that I was able to have you on my soft, warm bed till the end, stroking you and telling you how much I loved you. The only comfort I have right now is that you are at the Bridge, free from your pain and waiting for me!
Have fun and I'll see you when God is through with me on this earth.
I love you my litte meme!

Mom

Tigger got run over and killed by a car on Friday.
He was my special cat.
He was so loving and loved cuddles.
He had a huge personality and I am missing him very much.
I have had cats that have died before and although it was very hard having them put to sleep because they had cancer, it was easier to cope with than this senseless loss.
Tigger we loved you very much.

June MacGregor

I miss you my sweet prince.

The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs

They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I’m the only one

The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful chaps
They’re loaded with vim and with vigor
They love to leap in your laps

They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy pouncy

But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I’m the only one.

Tiggers are wonderful fellahs
Tiggers are awfully sweet
Everyone else is jealous,
And that’s why I repeat

The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Are Tiggers are wonderful things

Jennifer Kunkel

Oh Tigger. Only eleven hours have passed since you left and I miss you already. Thank you for almost 17 years of love. Play nice with Pookie at the bridge while you're waiting for me. You will always be our favorite kitty.

Love,

Mommy & Daddy

To Our Dearest Tigger:
Mommy, Daddy, Majesty, and Jingles miss you so very much.
When Dr. Brown looked inside your belly this morning she realized that you were so seriously ill and that you wouldn't be with us much longer and probably be in a lot of pain.
Mommy and Daddy didn't want you to suffer, so we decided to let you go today to be with God in Heaven.
We hope you've reached the Rainbow Bridge and are enjoying the fields, valleys, and all the beautiful flowers and butterflies up there with your real Mommy and Daddy.
All of us will always love you and never forget you.
You will always be our good boy and we will think of you every day.
Don't forget to look for us at Rainbow Bridge when it is our time to join you.

Thank you Tigger for all the love and happiness you brought into out lives.

Gina C. Vare-Haus

I'm not sure what to say, other then I love you Tiggy and I hope you always knew that.

You filled our hearts with immeasurable love and joy. You will always be in our hearts and prayers and I pray that one day I will see you again!!!

Jordan and Allison

It's been said a million times "Best dog ever"
Tigger was one of a kind. You will never be forgotten. Always be in my heart.

Muriel Olsen

Tigger has been my special little buddy since he was a kitten. Even though I knew his time on earth was running short, It still came as a shock when I realized he had passed on. Tigger was special for many many reasons. One being his double double paws front and back, extra toes all around. His affectionate nature, I'll miss his little head butts and nose kisses. And that chattering. I knew right away when I got home the other night that he was gone. Because he wasn't there to say hello. I'm just happy that he passed in his sleep laying in the sunshine that he loved. May God watch over him till I can cross over to join him.

Holly Alessi

Tigger came into our lives as a kitten.
He grew with us, and in turn, we grew with him.
He has seen the children in the family come and go with camps and now college, his father retire, as well as countless birthday parties, family dinners and holidays.
He will forever be a part of our family, and as we prepare to say goodbye to him, we know that death is only a forever dream, and he will live on in our collective memory as the loyal and devoted cat we love.

Amy Kaplan

I can't remember my life without this wonderful animal by my side or waiting for me to come home.
He was the first to greet me in the morning and the last to see me off to sleep. He took care of me as I took care of him. Together we fought the diabetes that ravaged his body. The disease as well as old age finally won over. I am devastated and the feel like the world has been yanked out from under me. He was my true friend.

Charla

Thank you Tigger, my first cat, my friend. You taught me how to love cats, how to be yourself, and that just 'being' is really enough.
You are a beautiful healer, friend to my father, buddy to Overton.
Thanks for 18 years of true friendhship.

Love, Mommy Linda

Tigger - I left it too long, you were in pain, and after 19 years to loose you was hard, but on 15 June 2007 it was time for you to be re-united with Ricky, Sandy, Goldie, Cobber and Sooty and to leave us all behind with memories of you.
We will miss you and you will always be in our thoughts.
Goodbye little friend, we love you.
From Brenda, Trevor, Mellissa Steven and Kimberley - and also PC, Dusty, Velvet Sonny, Chubba, and your companion to the end, Smudge.

Brenda

Tigger, you were my first cat who came to me as a stray.
I loved you dearly and you will always be "my boy".
I will never have another sweet, loving and kind cat as you have always been to me.
I miss you terribly and will always love you!!

Susan McDaniel

i miss you so terribly my sweet tigger...... my maaaaa........

you were, are, and always will be loved and in my heart!!!!!....karl, raine and grandbabies and robin miss you and love you too..

love, mama weez

My baby left and went to a better place. I cry every day wishing he were back in my arms. But he is with D'Artanyan my other furry baby who passed on probably about the time Tigger was born. He is no longer suffering and I know he knows we loved him and will never forget him. And one day I will meet them both and we will cross the Rainbow Bridge together again never to be separated. Mommy loves you and mises you both so much.

Patti

Goodbye my Boo.
I will love you forever

Teresa Gallegos

Tigger was an awesome cat.

We picked Tigger out from our local humane society. Right away I knew he would be a good pet for my daughter, and good company for me when I was alone.

He always wanted to be around people. He loved to be brushed, and especially loved to have his chin scratched.

Tigger needed to have his pain and suffering relieved today February 23, 2007.

While we only had him for not quite four years, we miss him terribly.

As I told Tigger before he went in for surgery, 'Maddy and I love you. You are a very good boy.'

Greg and Madison

Tigger I am so sorry that you had to leave us.I could not let you go on in pain. you were a very good dog and I really loved you. I will miss you.

Judy Wade

My sweet baby Tigger, I will NEVER forget you, and I will love you forever.

Tara

TIGGER I WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU ONCE AGAIN I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AND IM ALWAYS GOING TO WISH I COULD HAVE ONE MORE DAY TO BE WITH YOU I LOVE YOU BABY

Mayra

Tigger,

It was so hard to say goodbye to you yesterday.
I miss coming home now, when you would get up to come greet me.
I miss you "talking" to me anytime you were in the same room.
I missed so much waking up this morning and not feeling you curled up at my feet. There's a big loss in this house.
I wish I could have had you with me for a lot more years but I know you were in pain and you feel better where you're at now.
Goodbye Tig Tags, you'll always be my guy.

Tim Goins

Tig - 14 wonderful years ago, you were brought to me.
You were a bit tattered and with help from the Vet we made you better.
You gave me many years of smiles and I'm glad I was there for you while you took your last breath.
You will forever live in my heart.
Thank You for giving me the 14 years you did baby girl!

Michelle

tigger,there will never be a day i will not think of you,and how you brought so much love into my life,and everyone you met,you loved everything,you are out of pain now,and you are with mannix now your best dog friend in the world,you will be very ,very sadly missed..love mom,lena,sissy,missy and carter...

My darling Tiggy:
You were my baby, my third child.
Your face in the window whenever I would return, your expectant look when it was "that" time to go for a run...your bum wedged against me whenever possible, your smell, the feel of your warm soft fur, and your incessant need for "ballers!"
I miss you so much it hurts.
It really hurts.
Thank-you for blessing me with 8 years of love and cuddles.
Mummy xoxoxo

Tigger was a real gem of a cat.
Big and strong and playful.
We miss seeing and hearing you play.
We miss having Tigger time.
You will always be in our hearts.
Until we meet again....

Matt and Keri Isenberg

To my beloved Tigger,in memory of 20 very special years. I will always love you.

Marlene

My Darling Tigger my life has been blessed having you in it. I will miss you my friend and await the day we will be together again. Rest in peace my love.

Anna Johnson

Sleep well my little buddy your Mommy and Daddy will

Jordan and Allison

tigger your mommy and everyone misses you so so much. we know that you are out of your pain and not suffering anymore. billy has been looking for you all day and keeps looking in your favorite spot where you always sat. God Bless you my little T we will see you soon

Kristine Malone

Tigger adopted us after our neighbor across the street moved away. After having lost other pets, we vowed not to have any more because the pain is too great when they go to the bridge. Well, Tigger found her way into our hearts and went from an outdoor stray to an indoor well fed little kitty. She had more love that most cats and was not one of those independent grumpy types. She loved being around people and enjoyed her new indoor life...after a few escape attempts! Well, Tigger began having health troubles this past May and was diagnosed with Kidney Failure. The vet brought her back from the brink of death and gave her six months. She enjoyed the last 4 months with much health and vigor, just needed to drink a lot more. Yesterday, Tigger became very lethargic and was unable to eat or drink. With the help of the gentle vet, she went to join our other furbabbies on the Bridge. It doesn't matter how much we say we will never love another animal again like that, they still manage to find a way to snuggle right into your heart!

Peter Manfredi and Family

he was my soulmate dog who was too good for this world and stayed here much longer than he wanted because he loved me that much!

Nancy Miller

To my Tigger who has always been by my side. Each day you greeted me with a warm meow and a friendly swish of your tail. You have seen me through the good times and the bad and never judged. All you ever asked of me was a chin scratch and warm stroke and your favorite food and treats.

I will miss your warm little body that gave me such comfort at night, resting close to me and letting me know that you were there so lovingly.

Karen Schramm

Tigger has been the biggest part of lives for 23 years. The joy we had together will be sadley missed. This house seems so empty without you. We will never forget you!! When it was time to go, we told you how much we loved you. You were the the child we never had. Tigger we always will love you,
Love MOM & Dad

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through.

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.

I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.

Love you Tig...For Always

Kathleen Sologuk

Tigger, I love you my lil buddy.
We spent many good years together, with some rough times we always made the best of things and you were always there by my side no matter what.
You will be missed greatly.
I'll see you on that rainbow bridge someday, have fun till then my lil man!

Love,

Joe

Tigger was a good hunter and a nice cat. He faught until the bitter end of his 22 years of life. He will be greatly missed.

Arlene and Carl

I'm posting for a friend who just lost her kitty Tigger/Tiggs/Tiggeroo/Roos/Roo-Roos and many other nicknames.

Tigger was a black tabby Egyptian Mau

She died of cancer in her lungs and chest cavity

She was Sarahs gaurdian angel when she was alive and now she has her wings in heaven.

WE ALL MISS YOU TIGGER!!!

Sarah

Tiggs 'Tiggles' was a very good boy. He was a lover. He loved to give hugs, he couldn't get enough of them. He was only 6 1/2 yrs old, a short life to me, he was a stray for a year before I found him at a shelter. Tiggs was loved so much and I will miss him forever until I see him again.
His brothers, Beans and Bailey miss him too.

Gail Proko

Tiggy was my best and most faithful friend. He almost made it to his twentieth birthday. Despite a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism and CRF in 2000, he lived a happy and healthy life. After my son left to go to university, he truly became my baby. He slept with me at night and moved with me from room to room. He especially stayed right by my side if I was sick or recovering from surgery. We had a special bond that I've never had with another pet. Tiggy, you will be forever loved and missed.

Nancy Cox

this is for our cat, Tiggy
we miss you and love you always

she's a born feline
Live without any fear
she'll cuddle and meow
A sound of cheer
Rub her tummy
she's bound to enjoy
she once had a mouse
her favorite squeak toy
she’ll always a cozy nap
But it’s going to take
Place on somebody’s lap
she’ll take a good treat

or enjoy a nice fish
Try to give her a mint
she'll say you wish
she love's the warm heat
Though the furnace isn’t too neat
But she’ll call it home
Still she tends to roam
Born under a tree and
she knows she's free
Still wild cat she maybe
she'll always love her family

Shirley, Mike, Darci, Sunni

My baby girl left me unexpectedly today. Having been so hurt in my life I never thought I could love anything as much as I loved that dear girl. I was with her at her birth and had 18 special and very happy years with her until almost her last breath - she spared me that pain, bless her. She was totally devoted - no other came near and I loved her so very much. She passed away just two hours ago and the pain is immense - coming home I could swear I heard her call - I pray that was from a better life with no pain where she will wait until we meet again - I know we will.

Anita Henser

My special angel finally got her wings today.
She was recently diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure and I tried to take the best care of her as I could this last month but the ups and downs were just too much for both of us.
So with a heavy heart, decided to send her to God.
She died in my arms an hour ago.
I am alone my heart is broken.
I miss her so much.
I pray I will find support I need to deal with the pain and guilt of her passing.
She was a doll and she died young but without the misery that disease can bring.
I love you Tigre forever in my heart.
Love Lisa

Spikes mom and the best guard of the kids.
Each of my kids were hers.
No one came by them unless it was cleared through her!

Jan, Doug, Chris and Lauren Furtah

You were so full of life, and now it has become a screeching hault. I am devastated that all life goes so quickly. I helped you end your pain and I was right by your side, like I promised.

Cradling you in my arms as you peacefully shut your eyes is a memory I will never forget.

Fly freely my baby girl, To Rainbow Bridge and beyond.....

Ashley, Alexa, Zach

Our tika was a 6.6 lbs of pure joy,she made us laugh when she barked,she gave all her love to us.My wife and I will always remember her,and love her.

Art Thompson

To our big gently giant who had such a short life, we will always miss you but we will never forget you xxx

Jane & Graham Wilkinson

My dearest Tiki,

It was the hardest thing for me to do to make the decision to send you to the Rainbow Bridge.
I couldn't bear to see you suffer anymore.
You have lived a long and happy life at 18 years old and I only hope you can forgive me when we meet again over the bridge...
I Love you

Mom

Tiki was my closest friend. Her beautiful dark eyes always looking up to tell you how much she loved you. Her pretty face, her cute little growls when she played with me and her little toys. Her pretty white fur so soft, with a little patch of gold here and there. When it was bedtime she would always come to gaze up with those beautiful dark eyes as if to say " Come on MOM it's time for bed". She loved to snuggle close to me when we slept.

How much I love you my precious little one, how empty my heart and home is now. The silence and the emptyness of you not being there is so hard to bear.

I made her a flower garden, and there she rests, with angels, butterflys and little glass suncatchers which says "This is Tiki's flower garden, my mom made irt for me, she loves me so very much"

God take care of my sweet little Tiki until we once again meet in Heaven.

Tikki I miss you so much.
You were such a smart girl always letting me know what Blossom and Teddy wanted when the could not express it enough for me to understand.
I hope you are doing the same for them now.
I miss the hugs every day from you, Blossom (the best hugs in the world) and Teddy.
Be good Love you and miss you.

Tiko, I know that you are now waiting at the rainbow bridge with Brutis.
I know that you are no longer sick, or in pain anymore, but we all have a pain in our hearts because you are no longer here with us.
Analena, Ben, and Bobby are heartbroken that you have passed on.
So are Mom and Dad because you are no longer here to play or sit in the chair with us.
However, I miss you the most because you were my best friend.
When I lost Brutis in 2004, you came to me, and filled the empty void in my heart that I had.
You may have appeared to be small, but we all saw that you were larger than life itself, and you huge heart made this world a better place.
I could go on forever listing all of the people whose hearts you touched while you were here, but you touched mine the most when I needed you.
Now I have to learn to go on without seeing you beside me when I wake up, and I have no one left to talk to except the stuffed dawg Analena won for me at the fair.
It hurt so much to tell her that you were gone because she had just bought you a Christmas present during her school's gift shopping day on Monday when you left us, but she is going to hang it on the tree so we can all remember you.
As for me, I'm a tough old coot just as you were, and I am glad to know that you are in a better place now.
Just as Brutis was my fur child, you are also my fur child too, and I will join both of you one day.
We all know that Grandma met you at the bridge, and she told you that your job is not quite through yet even though you have been taking care of us for these last 11 years.
I know that when it is my time to go to the bridge that you will be waiting to guide Brutis and me across the bridge, as you will do for the rest of us, until we are all together again.
So take care of Brutis for me, and have fun and play until I come so you can guide us across the Rainbow Bridge.
Both of you guys will always be in our hearts until that day come.
Godspeed my Tiki, and continue to watch over all of us as you always have done.

Love you forever,
Patrick, Jesse, Lillian, Analena, John, Bea, Robert, Ben, and Jessie Marie

Tillie was 100% love. She came to me the day my father died and gave 15 years of love and comfort. Her special chair is empty now and she is missed, but she will never be forgotten. It was a joy and a privilege to have Tillie be a part of our lives.

Bill & Joyce Stillwell

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories were a lane,
we would walk right up to heaven
to bring you home again.

Angie

I love you

Tilly, a sweet little girl that didn't have a chance.

Tim (aka Slimothy, Mittymoo) I want to thank you for being in my life for 12.5 years.
You were my very special big boy and I am going to miss you each and everyday.
Although it was hard to let you go, what helps me to get through it is that I know you are no longer in pain and are now in a wonderful place. I look forward to meeting up with you again.
Rest in peace Tim - I love you.
Nicky

On the 18th March we put to sleep our beloved Tim our cat,we miss him very much as does his sister Tina. May God keep him safe now. Love you Tim forever.

Anita Murray

Timba, we all miss you so much.
Someone left you in the hot desert for Maria to find.
And then you became part of our family, and you stole Maria's heart,
and then everyone else's.
Your body is now back in the desert in the Maria Wilderness but your soul is not.
We were blessed to have you in our family.
We miss you.

Maria Bromley, Michael Jow, Ron & Dee Bromley

Our Big boy.. mommy and daddy miss the sound of your voice.

Mary and John Tindale

My sweet, sweet baby girl.....oh how much I do miss you. You took such a big piece of my heart with you when you left. Not a day goes by, that I don't think about you. You were the perfect persona of a GSD. Life dealt you a terrible blow. You handled it so good. You fought that fight, with all you had. I think about all those mornings, I would try to imagine how I would ever be able to let you go. I'm still not so sure, how I did it. It was without a doubt, the hardest decision I have EVER had to make. I think about our final day together now and then. It's hard to believe you've been gone over a year now. Know that I will forever love you sweetie. Until we meet again......

Sue & Rick Cover

"Timber" was my shadow; suffered from seizures
due to liver problems. She was my youngest "baby".
I really miss her.

Laura Keaton

We Miss you! You were the BEST dog, Mommy's Biggest Baby!!!
Bye Pretty Puppy till we see you again...
the house is empty without you and Lexi keeps looking for you...
hope your feeling better now...
love you!

The Yuro Family, Dave, Dawn, Nikki, Zack & Andrew

Our beloved girl was sent to us because she was so special.
Timber was the result of unscrupulous greedy breeders who called themselves rescuers, but only kept breeding their rescues for profit.
She was the last of her litter and noone wanted her because she was so painfully shy and timid.
When my 6'8" husband finally was able to pick her up she shook and shook and then finally gave him the tiniset tail wag.
Well we were in love.
Everyone said she would grow out of her shyness but she never did.
Eventually her shyness also caused her anxiety and agression without resolve. She was so scared of the world outside of her home and backyard. She was also born with luxated peatellas which were slowly crippling her and causing her pain.
After 4 years of love and crazy fun times, we decided after many consultations with our vet and a behaviourist that the best thing for her was to put her to sleep as her condition was psychological and would never improve.
Her legs were bothering her more and more.
She was not living a happy life anymore unless she was indoors and kept away from everything that dogs should enjoy.
It nearly killed us both to watch her fight the sedative.
SHe just wouldnt go to sleep, she just wanted to look at her daddy and protect him from the vet.
Finally the anaesthetic was administered and Timber was at peace.
She knows keeps a watchful eye on us from the backyard.
We beg her forgiveness for sending her to sleep so young. The only blessing we ask from GOd is to meet her again at the Bridge were we can all play wiggle bum again and she can be our little pooper stink, flopping on us with her dramatic flair.
Goodbye for now sweetheart, you tried and so did we.
We will always love you and hold you in our hearts.
Keep looking for us, time flies when your are at the Bridge and someday we will be there to be with you always.
Missing you hurts so much.
Kisses, Daddy and Mommy xxxxxxxxxxxx

YOU ARE DEARLY LOVED AND MISSED BY YOUR BEST FRIEND DUANE.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS A DAY THAT GOES BY YOU ARE NOT IN HIS THOUGHTS.

Jan Beaver

You will be Forever in our Hearts

Candace Leathers

I'm having to adjust to your not being here. I've come home and called your name out loud before realizing I'm only calling your memory. I wish you peace and healthiness. I miss you babygirl. Your hide and seek games we'd play, your talking, rubbing your belly, and you cuddled up next to me. You are always in my heart and always will be. There is so much I could say, I could go on and on....I'll say this now and for a long, long time to come....I miss you and I love you.

Jake Smith

Because of you my friend my life knew a joy I never could have dreamed possible.
You were a gift from God, here for too short a time, and your young, athletic, strong body was attacked by a rare cancer.
How could I know that when you ran to me - it would be for the last time? Isaiah 40:31 has new meaning for me now Timber..."Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, they will mount up on wings as eagles, they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not faint."
Run like the wind, Soar like the eagle, and one day we will run to each other again.
And I won't even mind if you knock me down just so you can cover me with kisses. You'll always be in my heart, just like I was always in yours.
Love you so mom and dad

We will miss you always our beautiful pussycat, sleep well & we will see you again one day

Rodney & Helen Nock

My beautiful little boy. You were my friend, my life. So sick and yet so strong. I am so thankful for the 18 months you stayed so brave.
We all miss you Timneh. and i look forward to meeting you again at the bridge.

I love you pumpkin! xxx

Clare Kent

My Beloved, true and loving animal child.
Thank you for the many years you shared your life with me.
I wait until the day we are together again. I will always hold you in my heart and love you each day.

I will continue to ring the bell 20 times each day you have your wings.

You were my joy, you filled my life with love.
I miss you my beloved.

Karen Hazley

You will always hold a special place in my heart. Will never forget you Tim. xx

Hannah

Timmy, I loved you so much and miss you now and always.

Julie

Timmy was the bunny with many nicknames: Snugglebunny, Wittletubby, Bunny Wunny, DestructoBeast (that was after he ate all the buttons off the TV remote which surprisingly didn't have any effect on him), and Loppy.

Godspeed, baby bunny.

Jennifer Peterson

Timmy was an amazing officer and firend. He will be forever missed.

Officer Steve Elswick, Aurora Co Police Dept

Timmy-bun, You were our joy.
Our little son who never grew up, you were there for us, waiting in our bedroom for a banana slice, a carrot green or--especially---a nurses backrub and song from Ma, a nose-rub from Pa.
You were our little "nurse" when we were in post-op pain or just stressed-out---you always knew.
Timmy, we know without a doubt that we will see you again!
One day we, too, will come to the edge of that glorious meadow in which you now frolic, and--as the Rainbow Bridge poem says--your sweet ears will perk up and you'll leap into our arms,never again to be parted from us.
In the meantime, we grieve for you, our Timmy, and trust our Lord to have placed you safely in the arms of my Mom, who loved bunnies, too, with all of her heart.
We will see you SOON, Sweetheart! Love, forever and always,
Ma and Pa

My TTBoy, TimTim, Timothy - even though it has been a while since you passed on, I still think about you every day. I shed tears -- not like I did when I first said good-bye. Most are happy tears. You were such a quiet dog...always in your sister Monique's shadow--observing, loving, caring. I saw you and loved you always.
I still picture you when you were young and how fast you ran...no other dog could ever keep up with you. You were the most kindest and caring dog I ever knew. You had a heart of gold.
When we said goodbye to Monique after you had been with her for 14 years I knew how hard it must have been for you to be without your life long companion. Still, you were more concerned about me and my grieving and stayed by my side to make sure I was okay. THANK YOU! That year we spent together just the two of -- how close we became. Our morning and afternoon walks...how I looked forward to spending that precious time with you.
When you could hardly walk anymore -- how my heart broke.
But you continued to be so courageous.
When Teenie Jeanie joined our family in January of 2006 at the age of 14 you were so kind to her and made sure she felt right at home.
Both you and Teenie Jeanie had so many health problems -- I couldn't bear the thought of saying good-bye.
You stayed as long as you could my loving and caring friend. I cry now after all this time has passed thinking about you and how you loved life and our family and especially your Monique. You are together again...running, playing and loving. Teenie Jeanie is there now too. I know you are watching over her again.
I will never, EVER forget you Timothy!
You taught me so many things. I think about you every day.
You are in my heart and thoughts forever and ever.
Love, Mom, Zach, Scooter

My little princess piggie died in my arms less than anhour ago. I cannot imagine my world without her pretty pink face and sweet little wheeks. Please keep us in your thoughts asyou light your candles.

Angie Bramlett

I loved you from the moment I saw you my sweet girl, you are my sweet baby girl, I miss you so very much but I know you are in a better place with your brothers and sister.
I love you forever and always
love you baby girl
MOM

She entered my life on May 2006,
a rescue from a Manhatten pet rescue group.
Having been abused previously in her life, it took a while for her to trust me, but she was a joy the entire time she shared my home.
I just hope she realizes how much she was loved.
I miss her so.

James Miller

Tina was a fabulous Scottie who brought a lot of love and comfort to many people. She stuck by her master as he died from cancer. She helped us through his death and provided 4 years of love. She will be greatly missed.

Dawn & Brian

My dear sweet Tina. I will miss you. You are not here to greet me at the door when I come home. You are not here to lay by my bed when I sleep. I look at your bowl of water, now empty and I find it hard believe there is no need to fill it.
It was so difficult to say good-bye. You were part of my life since the day you were born. And you will be a part of my heart forever.
Romp and frolic with your Mother, Phoenix, and with all the pets loved and lost by myslef and the rest of the family. I know they were waiting to welcome you at the Rainbow Bridge. And some day, you and I will meet again. I love you dear Tina, I love you.

Rikki Karen Rosenberg

Tina, you were very loved and will be much missed. We'll be looking for you, Phoenix and all the others we've love and lost when we meet at the Rainbow Bridge. Rest in Peace sweet one.

Deborah Losardo

Tinker was a very special friend, who was also my other half, we where always inseparable, Tinker collapsed on Monday night, I wanted to stay by him, but tiredness got the better of me, Tinker waited for me to come down stairs, so we can say our last farewells, then he passed on, at 7.50 am. We had a special relationship, we started to understand each other, when I saw him in trouble, with a wild baby rat, I said to him, I'll hit them, while you fetch them, we killed 8 rats that day, a few days later, we found the mother rat dead under some branches.
Since that fateful day, we understood each other, and respected our wishes.
He knew when it was dinner time, waiting in the kitchen for his favourite dinner, raw chicken, he even ate it cooked in our left overs, in mild curry, lemon, or sweet and sour sauce, he didn't care, as long as he got the chicken.

Despite of Thyroid problems, cataracts and deafness, he was the brightest, toughest, happiest cat you could ever wish for, never letting his disabilities get him down, and always cheered me up, when I was feeling down, I just wish he was here to cheer me up, and tell me everything is fine, and he is happy.
We will see each other again one day, I just wish he never parted from me this soon.

Sue Welsh

Tinker and I shared over 16 wonderful years together.
She was my pup to the end and while I know she is in a better place and not suffering anymore, I still miss her terribly.
She will always be in my heart and my memories.

Love you Tink, you be a good pup.

Sheri Courtemanche

Tinker loved her food and was always happy.
She was a love nugget who was always there for us.
She especially loved cats and her brother Nickels.
She had a special friend in Busta her mini Rat Terrier neighbor.
You will be missed, and you were much loved.
We know your tail is wagging on the rainbow bridge.
