I am so sad right now I can barely type this.
We and I have shed a lot of tears today. Zach was such an amazing dog.
His temperament was the best I've ever seen. Even though he had a lot of medical problems over the course of his life, he was almost never grumpy and let vets do whatever they needed to do without complaint.
He loved to play and was extremely social. There were no strangers, just people and animals he hadn't met yet who would be his friends.
I have no idea how we're going to get along without him.

We hope he knew how very much we loved him and how he can never be replaced in our hearts.

Dawn Elmore-McCrary and Neil Mccrary

Thank you Zach, for finding us and making our eight years with you so happy and joyous.
We love you and miss you so very much.
Chase the birdies and play with your sticks, we know you missed that in your final months.
Love, Mom and Dad

Jim and Tracy Ryan

Gentle and sweet boy, lifelong companion, kidnapped from my apartment during Christmas week 2005. You are greatly missed. I hope you had peace and comfort in your last days and ended up across the Rainbow Bridge.

EVER FAITHFUL

For nearly 10 years there was not a more loyal friend in my life than Zachary Blue whom I rescued at the age of 6 years old. Last Friday when I had to put him down to ease his suffering, the light went out of my life.

He's resting under a maple tree in the backyard that he loved surrounded by geraniums and petunias and blue morning glory flowers. Oh, how I miss him putting his head in my lap for me to rub his ears.

May God bless his little spirit. And I thank God for his allowing Zach to be a part of my life for the time he did.

Bye Zach!

Boyd Stewart, II

My friend, buddy,companion how I miss you so. You were everything to me. I was so Blessed to have adopted you 13 years ago. What a wonderful life we had together. Those memories will never fade.You will be missed by all.Our family will never be the same. You brought joy to all of us. I know you are with Grandma now. She loved you so much. My heart hurts without you here and the tears will not stop. I love you Zackie. Here, I called you my little shadow but now you are my furry little Angel. R.I.P.

Don

I miss you little buddy..

Wendy

Zack came into our lives as a rescue who was traumatically fearful of humans.When he left us 4 years later, he loved and trusted HIS humans, but still feared all others. His death was sudden and tragic but as I held him as he was crossing to the Bridge, his eyes spoke volumes of love, trust and, yes, he was ready to go.
His last act on this earth was to lick my hand. I never knew I could love a dog as much and as deeply as I love Zack. Wait for me, Zackadoodle.
I'll be there some day.

Gale David

We love you, "Tube Sox" .... We will always remember you ... and your "go-go boots" ... come visit us whenever you can!

My little blind black attack
You watched over everything
You lit up my life
now I cry
I know you are happy
Comet joined to play
We loved you so much
When you played
When you grunted and when you barked
you made us laugh
I love you so much
and miss you more...
be good little man
bow legged man
black man
We love you
Cancer took you from us
If I could I would have taken it from you!

Yukon Zack (aka) Zacky

It was on the 27th day of July, in the year 2006 that Zacky went gently into the night across Rainbow Bridge. Almost 9 years to the day he literally “jumped” into our lives with gusto, but also with much gentleness. With his passing, he left a very large void in our hearts that can never be filled. There will never be an equill to Zacky, there may be others, but not a Zacky. He was a good guy, and I know that he is north of Rainbow Bridge, and when I make there, I know he will be waiting for me at the gate, wagging his tail, waiting for his “bonies”.

He would carry his dish filled with food and place it where he wanted it and it had to rest on his left paw. He used to claw me when he wanted something, I would yell, but today I wish he was here to do it again, believe me, I would not yell.

Zacky was like many Huskies, stubborn, turn his back to you, “forget” his name at times, and in his younger days, love to run free. But unlike other Huskies, he would “dance” his left paw would go up and down till he was satisfied he was sitting straight and beautiful. Diner was another highlight at our house. He would “dance and prance” between us and always nudge my wife or a female guest at the most inappropriate place and always on the left side. He loved “people” food
Always gentle and never grabbing from our hands, until he learned to eat from a fork.

Yes, Zacky is gone, he now wears the Silver Harness, but he will never be forgotten, replaced, and no other will ever take the place of Zacky .

Why do the ones we love the most leave us so soon.

Sadly missed by his “”Mommy and Daddy”, Sailor, Dakota and Grandpa.

Zadok showed all he met love and kindness. He was always eager to greet Christian, to play, to sleep, to eat, and to live life to the fullest. He died suddenly, and it has left a hole in our hearts and in our lives. We will miss you, Zadok. You know we loved you so very, very much. Wait for us ... we want to love you again someday.

Zaine was a beautiful black great dane. We brought him home when he was a 3 month old puppy. In december 2006 he fell ill and it turned out that he had dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). He was put on medication for 3 weeks which did not improve his condition. After watching him refuse to eat for 3 weeks and struggle to breathe 24/7 I decided that it would be better for him to have him put to sleep. It was the hardest decision that I have ever had to make. I'm still not sure whether I did the right thing. I think I did, it seemed cruel to let him suffer any more than he already was. His lungs were so full of fluid, he was oxygen deprived and he was barely alert anymore.

Dear Zaine,

I miss you so much words can not describe the void I feel without you around. Not one day went by that you did not make me smile and laugh. You were the best friend I could ever have asked for. We had such a connection. Now all I have is your ashes, photos and very fond memories.
I feel that you should have had more time on this earth. You had not even turned 6 yet and I was not expecting to loose you.
I loved how you made me feel when I came home every day. First you ran to the window and peeked through the blinds, then you ran to find a toy that you would bring to the door to greet me with. I miss that so much.

A few nights before you died I think you knew you were dying. You came into my bedroom and just wanted to be near me. You even climbed up onto my bed, which I know you barely had the strength to do and you cuddled up to me. We kept looking into each others eyes that night. The last few weeks we had together I hope I showed you how much you meant to me. In fact I hope I showed you this your whole life.

I loved the way that you would follow me around everywhere and even sit and watch me in the bath or wait outside the door for me to finish. You just loved being around me and I loved being around you too.

I keep thinking about when I first took you to the vets when u got sick and while we were in the waiting room you put your paw on my knee. It was so cute.

I will just try to think of the happy times and hope that I made the right decision for you.
I love you forever Zaine.

Love Jaimie

We lost our cat Zander today. He never really liked me or our dog but he was a good cat and was never any trouble. It was very hard to let him go but he was suffering and I will not let an animal suffer. He is now in heaven where my Grandmother is taking good care of him and all the other pets we've had over the years.

Bryan & Denise

8am and 8 pm took on special meaning in August 2005 when Zandra began her Phenobarbital regimen for focal seizures.
Someone was always with her at those times, even if it meant leaving an event early.
So, it was fitting (and unplanned) that as my grandfather clock struck 8 pm last Thursday night, my Labradorable Zandra crossed over The Bridge.
She was at home, surrounded by family and friends who loved her dearly.

Her two Golden packmates, to whom she was Alpha leader, are also grieving even more than I had anticipated.
Zandra is the first pup I’ve raised as an adult and she will always hold a special place in my heart.
We were never separated for more than 2 hours at a time during her first 16 months with me.
Zandra was a guide dog puppy in training, so she went everywhere with me—church, school, restaurants, movies, grocery shopping, etc.
Even vacations were extra special because she was allowed to travel on airplanes with me.
As we deplaned, people who didn’t know she was curled up at my feet on board, were so surprised to see her and remarked how better behaved she was than many of the children on our flight.
She was such a beautiful white (yellow) Lab and I was so proud to be on the other end of her leash.

I’ve been doing hospice care for Zandra the last 3 months since she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
And the past 2-1/2 years have been quite a roller coaster ride of focal seizures, aspiration pneumonia (4 bouts), bilateral laryngeal paralysis, mast cell tumor removal and then pancreatic cancer, but she was an extraordinarily strong girl who keep fighting.

Dearest Zandra, my Special Girl, I am thankful to have been your guardian for nearly 15 years. I miss you terribly, but know we will be together again for all eternity.

Angel Zandra
Dec. 7, 1992 – Nov. 8, 2007

If tears could build a stairway,

and memories a lane,

I'd climb right up to heaven

and bring you back again.

Linda Richardson

i still think of you often and how things should have been so much better for you. i hope you enjoy the freedom at the bridge you were denied here and i will always love you .

kevin

Zane...you went way too fast I thought we would have a lot more time together. You were a crazy happy dog and I will love and miss you every day. Go play with Orbit now and keep her safe. I love both of you "baby girls"...till we meet again

Tracy Niskanen

Zang lived such a short life, but had a huge impact on everyone she met.
She was beloved and I treasured every moment with her.

Debra Richardson

you will be ever in my heart,
i will never forget you and your love,
i love so much and hope we will see us again,
my unforgotten

Petra Kunzedietz

he loved all, and was loved by all.

Claude and Theresa

Zappie was a fun, loving and affectionate pet---he only bonded to me.
He did like some people, but mostly he was a one-person bird, and that was me, and that was fine with me.
I will sorely miss him, and his cute, antic way's.
He would disconnect me, while I was on the phone.
He knew when he was bad too, as he had this attitude.
He talked a lot, and acted more like a child, than a bird. It was like having a baby in the house, who was spoilt.
Yes, he is in birdie heaven, and i will truly miss him.....

Christine Novosel

Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our lives.
You were the "Z MAN" and brought so much joy and love to our family.
Even though you would drive us crazy at times and I would get fustrated with you - I wish we could have those times again.
I know you are in a better place and are no longer old and suffering.
Enjoy your freedom and know that you will never be forgotten and will always be loved.
I love you my baby boy - one day we will play again.

Michelle, Randolph and Georgie

My very dear Zarekito,you certainly made a very big difference in the lives you touched. I will see you again and when we meet again I am sure neither you nor I will be sick. Love you Zarekito!

Candida Pons

Zariel was the first hampster I had...She died of oldage and lived a very happy and fufilling life.

I still miss her and think of her..

Jennifer

Zarr you touch our lives in so many ways. We will always love and miss you so very much, thanks for all the good times and thanks for being you.
love always,
Mum,Dad,Roger and Ty.Ty sends a woof to you.

My Zasu, you were always the "princess" of the house and my life....you put up a brave fight my little girl, but your tired little heart just couldn't go on. You left us too soon but I am glad your suffering is over... Be happy, my princess,across the Rainbow bridge...enjoy your "walkies" and basking in the sun...I and your daddy and Zola and Zila love you and will miss you....I'll be looking for you when my time comes...

Kerene' Larson

Zaza, my little princess:
not even 2 months ago you lost your "big sister" Fiona to cancer.
You saw her suffer but she went fast within 2 weeks naturally.
You were never the same after that.
You missed playing the "pretend" games of stealing food or pigs ears.
You didn't want to go out, you slept all day.
You couldn't comprehend where Fiona went, you were suffering from a broken heart.
You and Fiona made truly a comical, odd couple.
Fiona, a 60lb. big Blue Australian Cattle dog and you a tiny 9lb. cream toy poodle.
You started coughing one day, we went to the vet, you couldn't breath, they put you on oxygen but you died within minutes from heart failure.
Your heart was broken literary.
You went to find Fiona your "big Princess."
This poem from an anonymous writer is for you little one:
"For all the joy you given me,

for the glory days gone by,

my best and final gift my Love

I grant you wings to fly."
Love you for ever Zaza and Fiona.
We will meet again.
From your heart broken mom.
Helga Sokolovsky-Clegg

Our beautiful pusscat left our lives much too early at the young age of 7 years old.
He leaves to mourn his passing, his mom, his dad, and most of all his canine brother, CarterP.

Until we meet again my handsome Zu. God speed.

Mom, Dad, & CarterP

Zazu -- We only just met you and fell in love when you were taken -- even before you could come home and meet the rest of the gang. We know though, since you were sick, that you are now in a better place.
We know Huey is with you and looking after you. He will be a good "big brother." We miss you both so much.
Love, Mom & Dad

Zazu,
I miss you so much! I hope you knew how much joy you brought to our lives! I hope you knew how much we loved you. There isnt anything I wouldn't give to have you back. Dad, Justin, Jeremy and I want to let you know how our hearts are empty now that you are gone. My protector, my sleeping buddy, my cuddle bug, I Love You! I miss you!

Mommy Lisa, Daddy Juan, Jeremy, Justin, J.L, and Tyler

This is for my beautiful Zazzie who I cry over still.
I loved her.
She was a rescue dog and very nervous but she was a good dog.
She died of kidney failure from the bad dogfood that went around last year.
Hope I see you again Zazzie.
I love you

Judy Spear

Zeb,

Grandpa really misses you.
He plays with Sweet Tea now but he still talks about you all the time and he asks me what I think you would look like now.
I wish I knew what you looked like now.
I miss you too and so does Sweet Tea and Tristan.
Sweet Tea is almost as big now as you were when you left us.
Grandpa has her so spolied rotten - just like you were.
She plays chase with me.
I have been riding Spirit every day.
Have you seen Papa there?
I know you would like for him to be scratching your head.
Grandpa got bit by 2 snakes in your barn.
I bet you would have scared them away if you were here. Gotta go.
Love, Elizabeth

Just the best boy in the world. My heart and soul..

Sandra

For my Zebo.
A really awesome cat.

Laura O'Conner

To the sweet loving dog that filled alot of peoples lives with happiness. Her collar sits on my desk in a place of honor. I know she is chasing balls, sticks and water and running to her hearts content. To my "Beautiful Lively Rose" for that is the meaning of her name, She will be missed.

Trina

To Zeke: Although I lost you to stomach cancer, I will always remember your smile and happiness.

You loved to eat ice cubes and fish oil capsules. You greeted me at the door with a toy in your mouth and always enjoyed picking up my socks. We walked in the community gardens and I laughed as you thought the carrots were planted just for you. We had many happy times.

But what I will remember most is how much you loved me. I loved you in return--every moment of every day--right up until the end.

You had such a sweet and gentle soul. Thank you for being in my life. Until we meet again, Zeke.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!!!!

Nancy L

You lived a wonderful life, you will always be missed and never be forgotten.
We know you are together with Lilly again playing and having fun like you two used to here. We all love you so much Zeke. xox

Katie Gale

Little black dog who stole our hearts for 17 yrs, we miss him every day. Little Zeker Beker

Kim Doss

Zeke was the most special friend I have ever known. I will love him forever and I hope he knows this. I will never forget you Zeke.

Kristen Moore

Zeke-a-Bear was a special golden retriever.
Rich always said he picked him the day we chose him from the litter. He trained so easily and Shane & Rich delighted when he'd play "psychodog", running from the family room, past the door, out to the back yard, zooming back and forth like a banji.
He was sweet, smart, loving, and docile around even the smallest of infants. He licked Nolan's face when he was just a baby of 2-3 weeks old. And he loved being read to by Haley, paying attention to her every word, and even playing "tea" with her. Even as he got older, arthritic, and tired, he'd tolerated John Paul rolling all over him, although we knew he was in pain. And he'd run for that ball Alexis would throw him, even though it now hurt to do so. Once on an outing to a fair, a parent asked if her toddler (in a stroller) could pet him, and before we new it, he had swiped his tongue right across her face.
We apologized, but the child and parents laughed with glee at the furry playful dog whose triangle face resembled that of a roaring lion but whose sweet docile temperament mimicked the soft gentle touch of an angel.
He is now romping around heaven, having crossed the rainbow bridge, playing his favorite tug of war game with his peers;
patiently waiting for the time of reconciliation with those who loved him best, his 99 and 9/10ths percent biological father, Dick, and "only adopted" mother, Lucy.
Never to be forgotten and always remaining in our hearts, Zeke, you were a dog with soul!!; a loyal and tireless friend who would have kept going to a painful end had we let him, just to keep him around for a couple more joyous months of his company. Rest well, my furry, fluffy BE-AR.
No other dog will ever take your place in our hearts as our third son.
Sorely missed and loved forever, (adopted) Mommy and (biological) Daddy, Rich, Shane, Wendy, & Kids

Fatsoo our house feels so empty without you.
I miss you so very much....the rubbing on my leg, the kisses in the morning, your cute little squeak for a meow. You will be forever with me in my heart. Much love, mommy

To our baby boy... You have touched our lives in so many ways! You are our little angel and you'll be missed so much! We love you and wish you never had to leave us. You left us many happy memories that we will never forget and Zeek my angel, you'll be in our hearts forever and ever!!! We love you and we'll all be together again one day soon...

Ray, Joanne, Connie, Michael & Sweet Pea

Good Bye My Zeeky.
You will be greatly missed.
I am so sorry I could not have done more.
My best friend, my buddy...may we one day renite on Rainbow Bridge.
I love you.

Mommy

You are my one true love,Zeiger. I will miss you every day for the rest of my life. Thank you for choosing me. You were my touchstone and my very best friend.
I love you pooper.
Mommy

Zeke was the best bird, hand fed and raised, with a dynamic interactive personality. Zeke lived a very good life filled with pleasantries and sunny days in a privileged environment. We traveled cross country by car twice and for the last few years he traveled everywhere I went, we were frequent visitors to family and close friends. I was also blessed to have been working mostly from home for the last two years so that enabled our relationship to really blossom and flourish during his remaining years.
Zeke loved being near me and also loved sitting on my shoulder. He was a trooper and a fighter, blinded by cataracts the last several years, suffering and recovering from three neurological strokes and
he also survived 1 year and three months after being diagnosed with sqaumous cell carcinoma. Zeke was loved and asked for all the time by many friends, family and even business associates. Zeke also leaves a dear friend we call Uncle Neil as he also cared for Zeke and would act as
a surrogate mom during my absences when needed, and even learned to administer Zeke's oral syringe medications. We were always so grateful for Uncle Neil's terrific care and Zeke loved all the visits,sleepovers and hanging on Uncle Neil's shoulder too.
I will truly miss my little bird Zeke and hope he will remain by my side and on my shoulder in spirit for the rest of my days.

Gail Auger

You had a hard time in the shelter. I never got to say good by before you were put to sleep. I wish I could have. I miss seeing you everyday and I miss your funny smile. It was so sudden when you were gone, but maybe it was better that way. I'll miss you Zeke. you were a special dog.

AJ Deines

For Zeke
God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you
and whispered come to me!
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay,a golden heart
stopped beating,hard working paws at rest.
God broke our hearts,to prove to us,
He only takes the best!

Author Unknown

We love you Zeke,you are our sunshine,love,Mommy

Knowing that you are not hurting anymore, is what gives me peace with our dicision.
We love and Miss you Zeke!
Mommy, Daddy, Gabrielle and Jordan

ZEKE-
FULL OF LIFE!! ALWAYS JUMPING, THE ENCOURAGER OF FUN! HE MUST HAVE KNOW TO LIVE EACH DAY TO THE FULLEST BECAUSE HE DIDNT WASTE ONE MIN.
HE BROUGHT NOTHING BUT JOY TO ALL WHO KNEW HIM,THE CLEANSER OF EVERY WOUND, COMFORTER OF ANY BROKEN HEART, FIRST ONE OUT OF THE CAR TO MAKE HIS DRIVEWAY RUN. WE CRY TEARS TODAY SELFISHLY FOR OUR LOSS,YOU TRUELY GAVE US MORE LOVE THAN MOST HUMAN BEINGS. REST WELL YOUNG MAN, WE LOVE YOU & YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

Barbara Stanley

Usually, I'm pretty good at writing what I'm feeling.
Right now, all I can say is I feel completely empty.
We spent 11 years loving you and you loved us back every day.
You weren't just there, you were right in the middle of every thing.
You gave up your bed a million times when the boys were little because they wanted to sleep with their fuzzy brother...they would all end up in your bed with you next to it.
You were happy you were with them and that was all you needed.
You loved them as much as they loved you. Another thing that always stands out in my mind is how you used to sit down and cry if we were out somewhere and any of us went in separate directions.
As soon as we would come back together you would get that big smile back...it was like you wanted your family together where you could make sure we were safe.
You had that look of relief on your face like you were thinkin' Whew, that was a close one, but don't worry ma we're all together now.
You knew you were ours and we were just as much yours.
I know adults that don't have that concept down.
You weren't just a dog, you were part of our family and you'll always be with us. We're all gonna miss you buddy

Terrie, Joey, Mikey, and Kyle Ondek

my cat ZELDA i got her from a friend and i brought her home and

Zelda was the oldest of my 4 cats & had only been sick for a few days. She died at the vet's office of Congestive Heart Failure. Even though she was old, at times she would still play like a kitten, especially if we had catnip. I will miss her greatly, but I'm glad that her suffering is over.

Krista Taylor

You are loved and will always be loved. Your essens is in my heart. Your brother and me miss you endlessly. Thank you for choosing to stay with me and give so much love and compassion in our dailylife. Love always, Linda

Dearest beatiful Zen, your sudden passing was devastating to us all, but we are so glad that you are no longer in pain. You were so loved although you were only with us a very short time. We hope you know that our love for you will go on forever. We look forward to your beautiful spirit coming through to comfort us when we need you.

Nissa, David, Shelby, Keeton, Mia, Kendall, Klaude, Carson

To my sweet silly little Z.
I miss your wiggly butt, lil kisses, aligater impersonation & crazee gogoracecar driver antics.
Thank you for almost 9 years of your joyful presence.
I wish you a wonderful life in your next adventure! ;-)
All my love, Kayti

Zena, adopted frail and thin, grew to protect the household to the best of her ability, standing in harms way for her children. She sat on the bed three inches away from her cancer patient young owner for six months without leaving, staring with compassion and healing protection leaving only for bathroom breaks, amazing everyone in disbelief. When she later took on illness in same organ, in coma, we demanded she return to her body and family, and vet said it was miracle, recorded on the documents. Years later, she hung on with grace and dignity, weighing almost nothing as she sat in her sunlight washed bed listening to Chopin. She told me she did not want to leave me in emotional thought. Vet said she was living on 'nothing but love'. Finally the eyedropper of liquid food she attempted to lick just to please us was too much and she left upon swallowing, only to return six weeks later in a dream healthy and fatter than she ever was in her ethreal, fragile earth body. We have photos of her just sitting upright for hours, staring at us in loving guard while sleeping and resting. She ran down the stairs at the sound of her nine year old grown daughter mewing, washing her for 30 minutes. She loved us enough to return, once to me and twice to my husband in twilight wakefullness pre dream. The grief remains but she is happy and healthy now. Zena took on her name of the protective warrior, leaving a legacy of humans who never believed such was possible for a 'mere cat.' Her loyalty and courage changed our lives forever. Love can conquer death, this is true.

Sharon Stephan

Our Dear Zena:

You left us on a full moon, the 30th of May.
We weren't ready to let you go, yet we know that you are in a better place. Now you can finally use the wings you always knew you had.

When I am in the bathroom brushing my teeth, I picture you in my mind standing behind me patiently waiting for me to brush your teeth.

You were quite the character, smart and funny. The runt of the litter, who no one wanted.
Little did they know that they overlooked the best one of them all. You will always be Momma's baby.

Thank you for a lifetime of memories and friendship.
You are greatly missed and loved.

Hugs and Kisses,
Mom, Dad and of course Spaulding.

P.S. Give our love to Miss Ruby.

Zena, YOU were VERY loved and my heart has a huge hole in it with your absence.
Please wait for me.

Mark Hemmelgarn

Zena ,You will always be in our minds and hearts...we will forever love you . Your family. papa,mama,raquel,henri,ashley and jordon

Zena was a very special girl.
Though stubborn at times, will be very missed.
We will see you at the Bridge.

Shawn and Wendi Holz

Zenie Marie Kennedy was a wonderful lil' cat that came a long way in life. From the crazy little world in Terre Haute, which she first knew, all the way to a Summit County snob.

To those who knew her, Zenie’s attitude and personality were zealous and quite charismatic and unusually loyal to her family.
She could be as happy as a pig in mud, or as feisty and grouchy as Oscar the Grouch.
One thing is for certain; she always had great personality and was not scared to express this.

From complaining about her litter box needing to be changed to great emotional duress over being able to see the bottom of her food bowl, there was never a shortage of expression.
On cold winter nights, Zenie’s favorite thing to do was cuddle up in the bed with her family and sleep away the night.
The consistent purring and slow, drawn out meows were always welcomed.
Perhaps it is the long, cold Colorado winter nights that we will miss the most.

Zenie showed a very kind fondness toward Sammy. We'd often come home to find them lounging in close vicinity of each other or catch Zenie nuzzling her nose upon Sammy's snout.
The time has come for us to let Zenie know how much she is loved, and to say thank you Zenie, for being such a wonderful part of our lives, and for the eternal memories you have left us.
You are now in a better place, and this will viewed as a celebration of your life, as a wonderful creature.

Kristy and Matt Kennedy

We are at a lost of words. My angel, he is the tail wagger, the big boy... We miss you and love you for ever. Thank you Tony for loving him as much as I did.

Lonnie Schatz Tony Vowels

My beautiful boo-boo kitty, my sober companion, you were with me through it all. Thank you my baby boy. I'll see you again. I love you. I'll miss you.

Christine Krystofik

My kitten Zeppelin was very special. My son brought him home for my birthday last year. From the moment we got him he was such a joy. He was so full of love and affection for us. We will miss him very much. He would always be waiting for us in the morning and would always talk to us. He would always sit by us when we were on our computer or would get in our lap. He loved being close to us.

Cynthia Smith-Carter

To my happy little girl,
I miss you so much. I pray that you are ok and that I will see you soon in heaven. Please God, love my sweet girl and rub her belly from time to time.

Kristen

Our baby boy, you gave so much & asked for so little. Always there to give us so much unconditional love no matter what. You were the best companion, friend & little buddy any one could have. Your big heart was tired but didn't want to give up, each day was a struggle but you gave it all you could. We didn't want to let you go but your heart said otherwise. You are missed, always in our hearts, prayers & thoughts. You are truly God's 4 legged angel on earth always giving never asking for anything in return. Our hearts are sadden beyond believe, we never thought it could hurt so deep. There is an empty place in our hearts that only you will fill again when we meet on Rainbow Bridge.
Forever with us.
Love you truly,
Mum & Popo

Zeta was very special, and will be with me always.
She was my protector and worried about who would take that over.

Debra Richardson

On October 7th, 2006 I locked eyes with 110 lbs. of beautiful brindle dogginess waiting for someone to pick him to take home. The people at the rescue told my husband and I that this dog had been "identified as agressive". Nothing could have been further from the truth. Zeus got along like peas and carrots with the pack,(2 dogs and 2 cats)and loved every human he met. Gentle as a kitten with little ones, rough and tumble with the playful ones. Exactly 1 year later he was diagnosed with Lymphoma. No chance of survival. His last six weeks were spent being spoiled rotten. He was strong until the very last. His sisters miss him already. We will never forget you my boy.

Elizabeth Werner

Zeus was one of the kindest, gentlest, even tempered shepherds I have ever known.In the nine years he was by my side he never barked, growled,or snapped at any other living thing. He loved everybody and assumed that his love was returned.He was never far from my side. He loved going out on the boat. He loved jumping in the hot tub with me. And most of all he loved the morning and evening walks we took together.He would run and jump wildly when I picked up his leash. The way he would nudge my hand when he wanted to be rubbed. The love and loyalty he always showed me will never be forgotten.I know in my heart that we will cross the Rainbow Bridge
in the future. On that day my life will beguine again. Look for me Zeus. But be patient.
Poppa Jack

We love and miss you very much!

Colleen Miller & John Miller

Zeus was my service dog and would warn my husband when I had a seizure. He has been at my side from the minute he was born. If I was in bed for weeks he would only sneek out for food or potty if someone was at my side, and then it was only for short minutes. I will miss him dearly.

Joanne Ryngiewicz

Zeus you have been through good times and bad times with me, As I sent the text to all, you were my lover and my best friend. You will forever be missed always in my heart your mother.

Zeus was a precious dog, much loved and still missed after all these years. We love you and are waiting to see you in heaven, Zeus.

Val Pavlik

Zeus was the most loving gentle soul.
Never a growl or crying...only a huge smile and wagging tail.
He was the greatest gift any human could ever wish for and we will miss him with our whole hearts forever.

Julie Ross

Zeus was our first beautiful boy. Black fluffy and cuddly. Smart and loving. He loved snuggling up at night to our warmth.

I remember that he greeted me at the door each day, with a meeoow and much leg rubbing, and follow me until he got his cuddle.

Zeus had many special friends, starting with the Kookaburras, who tormented him from the clothes line. However he got his revenge and loved to eat the chicken left out for the 'Burras. The best way to call Zeus was always "chook-chook".

At one stage Zeus was living with 3 dogs! He had them sorted out, though. Monty used to run crazy circles and Zeus would sit there and take swipes as Monty flashed past. A game enjoyed by all.

We'll miss you, Zeus.

Lisa & Ed

I lost my best and most loyal friend I will ever have..... God took you way before I was ready to let you leave. I miss you Buddy.

Cynthia

R.I.P. my beloved Zeus I will always love you for as long as I live .I will always love you even if I'm not alive. I will always love you.
To Zeus Lee Sykora my pet poodle.
From 10/9/98 to 9/11/06

Zeus was not only a dog to the people who knew him and loved him; he was a friend, and family member he was loved by all who knew him. Zeus would not want us to cry and feel sad when we speak of him but he would want us to remember the good times that we spent with him and to laugh and smile as well. He would not want us to have pain in our hearts and to feel and emptiness that could not be filled he would want us to be happy and to live our lives better than how lived them before. Now that Zeus is in a forever sleep we may feel as if there is no end to this painful, sad, emptiness that we have and over time we will start to not feel as bad as we had once felt but we will still feel that emptiness. Zeus may not be with us in body but he is with us in spirit and he will always be there to guide us and to look over us in every thing that we do. If you ever feel alone and feel as if you will never be happy again remember that Zeus that beloved dog will always be there even if you can't see him. Zeus you were loved and you will always be loved and you will never be forgotten. From the one girl who will never forget the joy you brought to her when you were alive.

Holly Sykora

Zeus was the best cat!
He was my buddy, and was taken from me much too soon!
He was a black long haired cat with one white paw!
I used to say he was "missing one of his shoes!"
He had a personality that lived up to his name!!
(You had to know him to understand what I am talking about!!)

We are all devistated by his loss, grampy, grammy, brian, katie, sam wise, and snoopy!!

You’ll never fade away
Eight years ago when I was only five to the day you died and till this very day the wonderful years we had together never seem to fade away. Though in your death we’re some what apart I always get the feeling you never left to start, and I know that in you heart and mine each others memories of one another will stand side by side.
--------------------------------------------------
You’ll Remain
In my memory and in my heart you will remain for you never brought me shame and even if you did my love for you would not change. For you my boy so kind and true my heart will remain with you, and when my time is through I won’t be sad because I know I’ll get to be with you and even know my time is far from over I know each day we grow closer and closer, and every day even know you have died we’re standing side by side. Even though I cannot see you nor feel you I know in my heart you’re watching over me with tender loving care. When I cry over you I can sometimes feel your paw on my lap and your cold wet nose on my cheek trying to comfort me. Remember my darling boy you will always be loved for you have always shown love for me, so please my boy don’t be sad that we’re apart for your standing next to

Holly Sykora

Zeus we miss you terribly but we will be reunited. For now have fun with all the furry babies and soon we will cross the Rainbow Bridge together! Never to be separated again. I can't wait to hold you and kiss you and rub your soft warm tummy again!!!

Marie

Zeussy...Mommy and Daddy know you are waiting for us on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge..you are now free from pain...Your love and devotion was unmatched by no other..There are not enough words to show how much love we have for you and there is comfort in knowing that someday we will be together again...Love Mommy

You went so quickly Zueser and mommy is sorry she didn't kiss you goodbye. I didn't want to always remember you like that and I hope you forgive me for not holding you when you went. It hurts me to think you went alone. I love you so very much and we all miss you so bad it makes our hearts ache. You were my bubba baby....I will miss your sweet face with the tongue too big for your mouth. I will miss your little curious head turns and sweet way your tail always wagged when we came in the room. I am sorry I didn't hug you more and kiss you more than I did. I hope you feel my love still baby.....Poppa and I miss you and so does Smokey....he is so lost without you and loves you so much. I pray that Kayne greeted you and that you have happy days of playing in the sun with all the stuffed toys you ever wanted and that you will remember my love for you still here on earth forever. I look forward to kissing your sweet head one day again.
We love you with all our hearts and souls Zueser.....hugs and kisses forever....
Love Momma and Poppa and Smokey and Presleigh

No other dog had a smile so bright or breath so bad.
We will miss your furry face and the love you showered on us so unconditionally.
People would laugh at how much we spoiled you, but we would do just about anything to spend one more night lying in the tiny corner of the bed you loved to hog, your head on mommy's leg and your tail in daddy's face. We will miss you so much, Zeusie and look forward for the day we get to meet you at the Raibow Bridge. Until then, our precious angel, you be a good boy.

We love you and will see you again in heaven.

Barb Gruhl

Our sweet Ziggy-girl had been having some problems with her hind quarters being a bit weak but she was still able to move around, just not as fast.
Even at times she was able to play a bit but as time wore on she started having problems with movement.
Her front quarters were also causing her problems & she could not move without assistance.
It litterally broke my Wife's & my heart to see her this way.
Unfortunately I had to get underway (I am serving in the Navy) & was not able to be there to help out with Ziggy.
My Wife, Teresa, took her to the vet & found that there was nothing that could be done.
I got an E-mail from my Wife stating this & we both decided what needed to be done.
Ziggy was in pain & could barely move.
It hurt us so much to know that she would no longer be with us but we knew that it was selfish of us to want to keep her in pain.
So the decision was made.
On 22 Oct 2007 my Wife, Teresa, took our Ziggy-girl to the vet & she was given some chocolate kisses, which she never had before, & then went to Heaven.
We miss her so much & so does our other dog Petey.
Ziggy we know that you are waiting for us on the bridge & someday we will all be together again.
WE LOVE YOU NOW & FOREVER!!!!!

Loren & Teresa Knapp

Thank you for taking such good care of me.

Christine

I miss you girlie. Everything's gotten lonelier now that you're gone. My lap is a lot colder and the door stays closed at night.

Colleen

Ziggy, we will love and miss you forever! You have been such a loyal and special friend to our family. I will never forget your smile and your deep appreciation of our love. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

Christie Provost

Dear Ziggy, my Boobeez, I miss you very, very much.
I wish you all the happiness of the Universe wherever you are now. Please, forgive me if I didn't understand what else could I have done for you. I pray God that you didn't suffer anything at your last moments. You took part of my soul with you. You were everything to me, my best friend, my companion of so many years.
We went through so much together.
And now, I have to continue in this life alone, without you.
Please, wait for me at the Bridge.
There will be nothing else I will be looking for than to see you and Misha again.
With all my love,
Mummy

Ziggy, You will be missed but we could not see you suffer anymore.
You are now a young and playful pup waiting for us. I have set you free to cross the Rainbow Bridge to play with everyone else until we meet again..
Love you Zig-a-roo!!

Jeff, Jessica & Ashlynn

Dear Ziggy, you were my true friend and companion for 13 and a half years.
I will never, never forget you.
Although I have a deep sorrow in knowing that we will not be together in this life again, I keep safe in my heart the deep, true kind of love that we shared.

May God have you, happy and content, by His side because you are a kind, gentle, noble soul. I love you.
Your mommy.

Ziggy my "Butterscotch Boy" with his beautiful orange and white mane, soft silky fur, sweet disposition.

A precious baby that had a broken heart and had to leave me after 10 years together.
I will always miss and love you, Ziggy!

I hope that you're across the Rainbow Bridge playing with Tasha.
I hope that you know that I didn't want you to have endure any pain and I'll see you one day again.

Sandra Dunhill

Ziggy was my constant companion and best friend for 15+ years. She was such a good girl.
The pain was just too much for her.
I know she is in a better place, but I miss her.

Candi

My beloved Ziggy, I miss you so very much. You were and still are a tremendous joy in my life. You taught me how to love and receive love unconditionally and for this to you I will be forever grateful. I still see you running and playing and being so happy, and I hope that you are happy now. I know that Rajah and Doodle, and Diva and Rex, all miss you so much as well. Even though I only had you in my life for a short time, those were the best times. I wish I still had you around to hug and kiss and play with, and to come bouncing over to me the instant you hear me even move in the morning, and to roll around on my feet as I'm putting on my shoes, and to push your head under my arm just so you can try to get a wiff of what it is that I am eating, you silly boy! Seeing a snowman will bever be the same to me again and I will always think of you. I miss you my Ziggy-Ziggy-Zig-Zig-Zig. I miss you so much. I love you baby! I'll never have another Ziggy. You are so special to me. I love you so much, I love my little Ziggy, Zigglesworth, Zigalicious, Zig-Zig. I love you! I love you! I love you!

Kristen Peterson

I miss you my sweet little one. Wait for me at the bridge.

Pamela Ash

Ziggy bear, you were our first family pet, and our first Old English Sheepdog. You were a cute and fluffy puppy, who turned into a big, fluffy bear. You loved to play, and guarded our yard with zeal. We laughed about the time you came into the house with a ten-dollar bill in your mouth. You must have hidden behind the bushes and pounced on some unsuspecting neighbor, who must have dropped his money. When you suddenly got very sick one night, we rushed you to the vet, but it was too late. We felt a crushing sadness. You were not only the first pet that we got, but the first one we lost. We will always keep you in our hearts.
Love,
Gail, Jack, and Colleen- your human family

Ziggy you came into my life when you picked me.
You got on my arm and wouldn't let go. At that time Daddy said, "she is your little girl". He was right. You were and always will be my heart.
You will always be known to those that knew you as little "Miss Oooh!" and always asking "Who You?" I will never forget you looking in the mirror and saying, "Looking Good!".

@ You left so suddenly. I was in shock and still am.
You were fine on Saturday. Not feeling well but alright on Tuesday night. Then Wednesday morning you began to leave.
Thursday morning you were gone from my arms.
I held you and kissed you goodbye, as I rocked you in my arms.
I miss you more than you know.
A part of me died with you. I will always love you.
You will always be the "Angel on my shoulder" and "The wind beneath my wings".

As your Uncle Freddie said...the reason God took you home, is because that is how much He loved you.

You are always on my shoulder, I still feel your beak on my face.
Fly free sweet angel.
Fly free!

Regina Underwood

Ziggy the gray, my sweetheart, you have touched our loves with your kindness, selflessness, and love.
You made us laugh every day (Captain Gravity/Box Monkey)!
I learned so much about God's love from you.
You made a Ziggy-shaped hole in my heart, and in Poppa's, Dusty's, and Chloe's hearts too.
I know you are at peace and without pain...please know that letting you go was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
Dearest ZigZig, May you shine in the Zenith of seventh heaven and thrive in God's love.
We will never forget you on earth and are looking so forward to hugging you and scritching you again.
We love you with all our hearts.

Melissa Rude

Zigaroo will always hold a special place in my heart. His jester whiskers, soothing purr and infinite love will always be remembered...Roo, I love you... take care of your sister now...

Jeannette

Ziggy, hang in there until I come for you in Heaven. I love and miss you more than words could say. I know we will meet again my friend, until then sweet memories will comfort me and I hope will for you too. Skyelar and Brady and Mommy miss you too. I will never forget you for you were truly my best friend.

Nicholas Babineau

My Dearest Ziggy,

When you landed on my balcony, I believed you were an angel sent to cheer me during a hard time in my life. You were my baby birdie and I was in awe of you and how intelligent you were. Over the years your love and affection brought me many, many smiles. Your songs and whistles brought me joy, and your eagerness to be close to me gave me gave me a reason to wake up every day.

Please know how much you were loved and cared for. You have left a little hole in my heart...a hole that will only be filled when we meet again. Until then my precious Ziggy, fly free and watch over Little Girl and I...we miss you so much!

Elaine Gagnon, Little Girl, and Noelle

To our gentle, sweet boy:
You were never a "lap cat" but chose instead to just "hang out" with us....wherever we were. You were never an "aloof" cat but wanted to greet our visitors.
You were gentle with the boys when they were little....even when they had a fist full of your fur.
You lived a long time we are told for a diabetic cat and you never fought your twice daily insulin shots.
I will miss your company in the morning and giving you scratches while I get ready for work.
Your "dad" will miss you lying on his chest and massaging your ears and back.

Now you can be with Zuni and curl up together in big patches of sun and talk to the squirels and birds as they pass by.

We will miss you.

Kendra & Tony Peters

Her Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of her as gone away-
her journey has just begun
life holds many facets
the Earth is only one

Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years

Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away

And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost-
And she was loved so much.

- Ellen Brenneman

Zimba, was no ordinary dog,
he was the family angel,

God bless baby boy. you will always be loved!

Zinfandel was an angel who will always be with me.
She lived a very full life of almost 16 years.

Debra Richardson

All of us will miss you. We love you very much and hope you are somewhere that is happy and fun.
I will miss the morning meows, the times I was sick and you laid on my lap to keep me company, the endless love you gave to me and our entire family, the occasional throw up!, the times you played with the little screws I dropped when building my computer.
Goodbye for now, I hope to be with you again to enjoy the hugs, warmth, the endless belly rubs you let me do, the sounds of you voice when I called you "Hear Zinner, whistle whistle.

Dave Kone

I really don't have all the words right now for my Zinnga. Her passing was sudden and a shock to me. I miss her enthusiastic personality and exhuberence already. I will miss ya Zinnga until the day that I die. Your Zoey misses you too. Please watch over her for me, okay?

I LOVED YOU SO MUCH Zinngy!! RIP sweet girl and know that I'll see you one of these days.

Staci Robertson

Today we honor a really great friend.
Zion Galvis.

Zion was a Manx/Siamese mix who came into our lives thanks to the Boulder Valley Humane Society.
We adopted him in February of ’02, and the vet approximated that he was 2 years old at the time.

After a somewhat rocky adjustment to becoming a housecat, Zion grew to be on of the coolest cats this world has seen.
If you knew him, you loved him.
He was very handsome with beautiful blue eyes and a pink nose, and of course the classic no-tail Manx characteristic.

He loved to climb trees, chase our dogs, kill birds, roll in the dirt (followed by his famous ‘go sleep on mom and dad’s bed all dirty’), and most of all, he LOVED to snuggle.
He couldn’t be close enough to you.
His favorite spot was curled up on our bed, right between our heads – he was in heaven there.

On Sunday, Zion suffered an aortic thromboembosis (a blot clot to the artery in his pelvis) due to heart disease that we didn’t know he had.
The emergency vet said that it is very difficult to diagnose heart disease in cats until something like this happens.
The vet told us that we he was sorry to say that the diagnosis for Zion could not have been worse, and that case is his situation do not recover.
He was in a lot of pain, and was paralyzed from the waist down – his heart was almost twice the size of a normal cat.
We say maybe that’s why he was so incredibly loving.
We made the decision quickly to put him down, because we could not stand to see him hurting.
We were there with him and sent him on his way with all our love.
It was the most difficult experience for us both.
We wrapped him in the rainbow blanket – his favorite - and buried him in our garden on the south side of the house.

If you love animals – he was one for the records.
If you believe in spirits – his was top notch.
If you take the time to think of him, please send him some love – he deserves it.

Zion February ’00 – November ’07
-
We’ll miss you very much

Amy and Stuart Galvis

The joy you brought into our lives will be cherished forever. Letting you go was one of the hardest things we ever had to do. Watching you deteriorate was the other. We had to say our good byes so you could go on to a place without pain, where you could run, play, and eat all the treats you wanted. We will all be together again one day when we will hold you in our arms once again. As for now we miss you more then we could ever express. We love you so much Zipper.

Diane and Beckie

We had you from a puppy, you were our baby before we had our own.
You loved us and protected us with everything you had.
I feel like I have failed you making this choice.
But you would have been so unhappy living life from a crate and muzzled all the time.
Now you can be free and love us from above.

Crystal

Zipper,

You will forever run in my heart and you will never have to lumber up the stairs to the house in pain again. You will forever be able to play with your sister, Bows.
You will be missed forever, but never forgotten.
Now you can eat all of the treats we offered you in your last days, and chase all of the tennis balls your heart desires.
I am happy you have this time to be a young active dog again, though I will miss you terribly for the rest of my life.
Please find Grammy and keep her company.
I will meet you again.
I love you.

Amy & Stan

This is for my friend and companion, Zippo. He passed on this morning in my lap. A sweet boy he was. He loved to be outdoors stalking gohpers. He never much cared for birds. He adopted us around 1990. I was not allowed to smoke in the house, so I would go to the deck and have a cigarete, I would use a Zippo lighter and the click of the lighter would bring him running. Thus his name. He enjoyed just curling up in my lap and would stay there as long as I could stand it. He brought us 17 years of love and happiness. He was none to happy when we brought home a pair of kittens. He never had much to do with them and was pretty much a loner. I could relate, because I too was a loner. He adored neck and chin scratches which would always make him drool and make him hungry. He hated vets and would always hide after we brought him home after an office visit. We loved him dearly and will miss him. I think he is in a better place now and hope we will be together again someday. I will bury him here on our 5 acres in a patch of daffodils. We will remember him always. We'll miss you Zippy, you'll always be in our hearts.

Randall Buchli

My beautiful boy dog Zippy, how I love you so much!
You left us in February and it broke my heart into pieces.
One Saturday morning I called Judy to say I wanted to take you to the Marina, like I had so many times before. I must have taken you for 1000 walks or more over the 7 years I knew you! It had been raining for 4 days, and I hadn't visited you because I thought it was too cold & rainy & you wouldn't want to walk in the rain!
I wish I had taken you out all of those days, because they were the last days of your life. Judy told me you were acting like something was wrong, like you didn't feel well, hadn't eaten for a few days, and that you probably wouldn't want to go, but to come over anyway. When I opened the gate and called your name, I saw you come down slowly from Douglas' steps, but not running over gleefully like you always did, just very slowly and sadly walking over. I took one look at you & knew something was terribly wrong and I became frightened. I tried not to show you that I was scared, and just hugged you & told you how happy I was to see you. I gently put your leash on and walked slowly with you over to the truck, because as miserable as you were feeling, you still wanted to go for a ride in the truck, and you wanted to please me, my sweet boy! This was the first time you couldn't jump into the truck. You looked at it, then back at me, and just looked so very sad and very weak. I told you it was ok, and I offered you a cookie (doggie biscuit), like I always did before our walks. You were so sweet that you took it & ate it even though you were probably not hungry at all. I gave you some flower essence drops & gently walked you back into the house and told Judy that she was right, you couldn't go out. Judy warmed up your blanket in the dryer and put it over you. You looked at both of us and drank some water, and seemed to be sort of ok in the house. We decided to wait to see how you felt later before taking you in to the vet. That night I didn't sleep, and my heart ached. The next morning Judy told me she had bad news and I almost dropped the phone from the dread filling my heart. She said she & Douglas had taken you to the hospital that morning & "it
doesn't look good." A few hours later Douglas called me to tell me they were heading over to the hospital to have you "put to sleep." Terror & anguish coursed through me and I could barely breathe. I didn't understand! Just 4 days ago we'd had one of our most wonderful, joyful walks on the beach and you were romping around like a puppy! I had taken to calling you "Puppy", even though you were an old-timer, because you would always be my sweet darling puppy. Sometimes I called you Darling, because I just loved you so much.
At the hospital I only had 10 minutes alone with you before they were going to have it done. By then you couldn't walk or sit up, just lie down. It was something to do with cancer, or something else, it didn't matter. I sat down on the floor next to you & hugged you and told you everything you meant to me & apologized to you for not taking you for a walk. I put some flower essence around your little mouth & opened a Nature Healing session, asking Jesus & all the nature spirits around you & any angels that were around to help you & protect you & comfort you. I hope some of this was a comfort to you. Your fur was so beautiful and I just looked into your sweet chocolate brown eyes and told you how much I loved you. For just those 10 minutes or so I wasn't overcome with grief or anguish but felt very calm and relieved to finally be with you, even if for only a short time. Afterward I saw the beautiful body I had come to know as Zippy and I just wanted to take you & keep you with me. But I couldn't. Judy, as your Mom, had made other arrangements. It is 9 months later & of course I still miss you so awfully. No one can or will ever take your place in my heart.
I love you always, my dear, precious lovely boy dog, my Zippy Darling, my sweet puppy. I hope you are happy and free where you are.

Flavia Bellu

Zippy, my beautiful baby, my love, my joy.
We miss you so much. We will see you again in heaven.

Margot Spiller

I was blessed to have had you in my life for as long as I did. You are the love of my life, the best friend I ever had....you made my life so much better for being part of it....

I will love you always and forever!
We will meet and walk together again!

Dana Bishop

I still miss you my little chicken.
I know that you are in a better place with no pain and with my mum.

I know that we will meet up again one day and I will never leave you again.

Andrea

Andrew

My Little Cookie Monster,
Thankyou for your unconditional love and all the years of joy and happiness we shared together. Our bond was very special. All those wonderful memories of all those beautiful moments are etched in my memory forever. You had the most giving,loving & gentle soul you beautiful girl and you fought until you could no more. You will be with me in spirit forever. I love you Zoe.
Sleep in peace my angel - the pain is now gone.
Your Mummy, Desiree

You walked this world with such grace and dignity...you are missed each and every day!

Tate Foster

Zoe - I will miss you very much! Thank you for all your support during my infertility. I know that I would have never made it through without you and Coco. You weren't what I expected when I got you, but I have never regretted having you. I am sorry that I didn't have as much time to spend with you after the babies came! Me, Dad and Sissy love you very much. Sissy reminded me that you will always be in my heart and are not really gone!
Love Momma

My dearest Zoe - you were taken so suddenly and too too soon.
Our hearts are empty and our tears are plenty.
We can't imagine moving on without you, but we know you are there watching.
I'll never forget your fabulous personality and the quirky way you had about you.
From throwing your bones and balls for yourself, to counting with me, to barreling through the house and jumping from bed to bed.. and so so much more, I'll never forget.
My best cuddler and my babygirl, you always took my spot in the bed when your daddy tucked himself in, and I had to move you over.
Last night, I couldn't even lay in that same bed... knowing you weren't there to move.

You were accepted to doggie daycare despite the fact that your breed wasnt usually tolerated there... you really showed them what a fabulous dog you are.
You brought amazement to my life when you dove into the water, unbeknownst to us that you were a water dog... and you confirmed what we expected, that you had a love of the snow and the cold like no other dog I've known.

Your spirit stays with us, and you will never be replaced.
One of a kind, for certain.
We are glad we were able to be your guardians for just the short 10 months we had you.. and we are so sorry you are not here with us now.
Please rest in peace.. give a lick to the gang up there, and we'll see you on the flipside.

Amy Crawford

I will miss you so much my little "bear" cat.
It breaks my heart that you are gone.
You gave me so much love and joy and I have to respect the fact that you stood up for yourself and did not take any "crap" from anyone.
You are still my angel cat and I don't know what I will do without you.
I hope you are with your sister, Samantha, and I hope I will see both of you again someday.
I will always love you both.

Dyanne Devito

My dearest Zoe, I love you always and forever.
I know you are in heaven smiling down upon us.
You were the apple of my eye.
You were my peanut and you are truly missed.
Winston and I think of you each and every day.
I miss your cute little hiney, that hopped up the steps.
Winston is eating your share of carrots these days.
I love you Zoe Maia, I love you!

Katie Goulait

You were given to us for ten wonderful years and I will never stop missing you. You were the most beautiful and friendly pet anyone could have, and you touched everyone that met you. Even your vet had a hard time letting you go. But you are now with Kyra and Harley and feeling no pain. I look forward to the time we meet again. I love you Zoe.

Geri Lambrecht

Zoe was a very dedicated girl. She loved me with all her being and i her. I will never forget her beautiful little bubble gum nose and the freckle on her lip. She made me laugh and kept me going when i didn't think i could continue. Thank you Zo-dog.

Nikki Gerrior

My Zoe, I know that you were only with me for such a short time, but you touched my heart from the first time that I saw you.
You were instantly a part of the family.
Just know that I love you and will miss you.

Jeanie Basham

Zoe was my first "baby".
She will always be remembered for her talent at playing fetch and chasing school buses.
Her funny way of scratching her back and barking at the same time will always make me smile.
And the thought of her big brown eyes and wet black nose nudging my hand will tug at my heart till the end of time.
I will look for you Zoe as soon as I come to the rainbow bridge and from there we will start a new journey together my precious Zoe.

Kathy & Jesper Nielsen

We love you and miss you Zoe!

Adrianna

Zoe loved to hold your hand. She would often just come up to you sit down and put her paw up to be held. She had been through so much in her short 7 years. We will miss her greatly. The house seems so empty, so quiet, just not quite right without her.

Bernie, Michelle, Alicia

Our precious firstborn went to join our grandparents on 2/28/07. we miss her and we love her so very much. the pain is overwhelming, but we have felt her presence here with us and it helps us go on. Zoe, know that we miss you and love you. i would give the world to have to vaccuum up some of your dog hair right now! after all the times i complained about it. i miss you, my baby girl. i will see you again someday.

Don and Angela Badie

Zoe was a black and white Tibetan Terrier with white at the tip of her tail.
She never met a person she did not like and never had to learn to be wary of people.
She was a people dog, not an other dogs person. She was a bust at the dog park, just wandering around or sitting near me.
Whereever I was in the house, there was Zoe. Although deceptively sweet, Zoe had a will of iron.
If you walked her and wanted to turn left and she wanted to turn right, she would dig in her heels and refuse to budge.
I especially miss her when I open the door to my apartment and there is no one to greet me.
It feels empty around here.
Zoe, I love you.

Jane Dolkart

My beautiful baby girl, I miss you more and more each day. You brought so much love and comfort to me - my heart aches without you.

I know we will be reunited again and I look forward to that moment - lots of hugs and kisses and mooshy poo poos!!

I love you boogie boo!!!!

Wendi

Our dear Zoe, our firstborn baby. How we miss you! It seems the tears won't stop. We know you are on green fields, chasing a tennis ball. Know that we love you and you will always hold a special place in our hearts. Please come visit us in spirit. We truly believe that you live on. We love you and miss you terribly, sweet baby girl.

Don and Angela Badie

WE MISS YOU,OUR BELOVED ZOE,(ZOZO) WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. YOU LEFT US TO SOON, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WONDERFULL YEARS OF HAPPINESS YOU GAVE US. SERGE & IAN

To my sweet companion Zoe....I will love you with all my heart forever. You were such a "good fellow" Zoe and I am so very sorry I needed to let you rest. You were so very sick. Go with God now.I hope I will see you there. I love you Zoe. Thanks for choosing me.

Kathy Buehler

Zoe, you were our very first baby and you lifted me out of a terrible depression when you came to live with us.
You were always feisty, tough, sassy, and devoted.
I wish I could have held you all day today but your spirit was already gone.
I love you so much and will miss you forever. You were so special that there will never be another dog like you, my special girl, my dreamer.

Georgi and Darrick Chase

Zoe (aka Dolly) is loved and missed.
She was a great dog, so sweet and loving.
Zoe taught me some of the most important lessons - be kind, love wholeheartedly, forgive, live for now, work hard and play hard.
Every member of this family's hearts will always be with our Dolly.
Till we see you again our sweet, beautiful girl.
All our love,
Mama, Daddy, Aly, Collin and Marcy

Our beloved sweet Zoe will never be forgotten.
She had a personality as big and bright as the sun, and she changed our lives.
We will never be the same without her.

Karyn and Scott

Even a very small rabbit can bring great joy, teach great lessons, and be greatly missed.

Nancy Webb

From abandoned beginnings you came to my life at a time I needed you most, a little pup less than 4 weeks old. Together we've shared an amazing 13 years. Every major milestone you have been there with me from leaving home for the first time, moving into our first home and helping to make it home, the day I came home with Kate from the hospital. For all of it you have been there. I can't imagine you not being here for the milestones to come.
My favorite memory is every christmas day for the last 13 years with you wearing your tinsel collar and a big grin. Zoe, I love you and miss you more than anyone could possibly imagine.
You will always be in my heart pup - see you at the rainbow bridge.

Jenny Dickinson

MY MEMORIES WILL REST ,BUT ILL NEVER FORGET WHAT I LOST!

Renton R Sadd

This is for Zoe Jones, our grand-dog who was a loving dog to Aubrey, Chris and Elisabeth Jones. She also was a momma to the new dogs that were brought home, George and Lady. She taught them well. She will be missed for her love of playing frisbee and taking care of the other animals. She was a very much loved dog of this family.
Mimi and Papa

I miss you every day. I loved you forever
in life...and i will continue to love you until we meet again. You are forever in my heart.

Susan Kosteva

RIP to a dog with so much charisma and character that a human cannot even possess. RIP to a dog that lived and breathed life. She was named Zoe at 4 months old. She waddled into my work with a smirk on her face saying..I am his. I am Chad's dog. I love him to pieces. He will be mine. She was a dog that no one else could fathom. A dog that cared so much for her owner. He rescued her one day and from that day became his. She loved chasing locusts and cuddling at night. She was a baby of all forms. I will miss this girl. It's so hard to walk into my house and not have her welcome me. Why did she have to have that brain stem that made her snap around other dogs? *I sob* She was one of a kind, a best friend to all..she will be sorely missed. To cry ... To sob..she was a friend of mine. I miss her already. Let her rest in peace tonight and forever more. Let her meet my Grandfather. He will take care of her and look over the lake in solemn vows. Together they will share their memories of yesterday and what will to come. I love you Zoe. I'm sorry this had to happen. And Chad loves you even more. RIP my true friend.

To my beautiful Zoe,
I love you and miss you so much. You were my beautiful princess for 5 years and we shared so many precious times together.
I hope to meet you at the Rainbow Bridge someday.
I love you.

This is to honor my beloved cat Zoe, who passed on Tuesday, August 28th. She has been my best friend and companion for over 16 years and will be dearly missed.

Some of her special qualities include a wonderful sweetness especially to me, a great ability to adapt to many different situations and environments, a strong sense of independence and adventure for the outdoors, and of course always making sure we were honoring the routines of our life together.

The last few years she was struggling with kidney disease and eventually diabetes. It became extremely difficult to know when to assist with ending her pain and suffering, because she would indicate she was not feeling well and then would rally again. When the decision was made to put Zoe to rest, I stayed with her in her final moments and told her how much I loved her. Later that evening I found out there was a partial lunar eclipse in the early morning hours that day.

Zoe was probably one of the best parts of my life and after my time of grieving, I will remember all the wonderful times we had together. May she rest in peace with the universe and I pray that we find each other again.

Julie Westphal

You will forever live in our hearts zoe zoe.
We miss you and them big wide eyes that showed us so much love.
You gave us so much and ask for so little.
You rest for now and one day we will all be together again.

Sandra

I have been thinking of Zoey a lot this past week, she will be gone one year next Wednesday I miss her so much
With loosing her, I have adopted my wonderful Holly (saved from death row) who took up where Zoey left off. I have fosterd a couple of pups for a few days from the lady that found Holly for me. I rescued Ranger and thats how I came about the shelter and now look what I am doing, fostering rescue dogs. All because of Zoey Things happen for a reason. God Bless You, Zoey! Rest in Peace, your work has been done.

Deborah Vaughan

I'm so sorry you did not get to live a full life little precious baby. You were the pinch in my cheeks that made me smile each day, I'm trying so hard to keep smiling for you lil' girl. I miss you.

Jessica Hansen

Treasured Friend

We lost a treasured friend today
The little dog who used to lay
Her gentle head upon our knee
and share her silent thoughts with me.
She'll come no longer to my call
Retrieve no more her favorite ball
She has been called to a higher plane
Away from sickness and from pain.

Although my eyes are filled with tears
I think back through the happy years
Time she spent down here with me
and for her love and loyalty.
When it's time for me to go
And join her there, this much I know
I shall not fear the transient dark
For she will greet me with her bark.

Deborah and Nils

My Beloved Zoey,

When our eyes met at the shelter that warm August 4th day, 2004, my life changed forever.
A spark ignited inside of me and that flame has burned ever so brightly since, warming my spirit, lighting my soul. You taught me the meaning of unconditional love and the strength of that unexplainable connection that I felt with no other.
You touched not only my life, but everyone’s life whose path you crossed.
Our entire neighborhood is grieving over you.
I believe that you were the love of my life, and I am so devastated and sadden that you were taken from me so suddenly, so tragically and at such a young age.
My spirit aches without you and I am overcome loneliness and grief as a result of your passing.
Physically, you are not here with me, but in my heart, in my soul, your spirit lives forever within me.
Your larger than life smile and tender eyes are etched in my mind for eternity.
And so, my Beloved Zoey, my little furry friend, my little girl, my life has changed as a result of being your Mommy and I a forever grateful to you for the love, the lessons, and the life you gave me.

With All of My Love,

Your Mommy

Thank you to Zoey for being brave when we were scared, showing strength when our hearts were weak and loving us until the very end.

Gloria Ladlee

i will be there for you ,and you for me when i come to you,you will guard me as you always done i will protect you as i always done xx

Toni Regan

Zoey, it has been so hard without you. We know you fought hard to the end. We didn't like seeing you suffer but now you are young and bouncy again. Giving everybody kisses. Daddy, Brad, Jamie, Tazz, Katie Bean and I miss you so much. I would give anything to have a fur ball flying around the floor. I wait every night to hear you snore when we go to bed but it doesn't happen. When I leave for work I don't have anybody to say goodbye to. It's been really hard for daddy he is loss without you. We will always love you.

Deb Golden

I feel like I have lost my Best Friend. You were always there for me when times got hard and I was always there for you. I'm saddened by how young you were and how I never got to see you become the beautiful horse you were to be. You were one of the best things that could have ever happend to any 17 year old girl and Im so happy you happened to me. I was there when you were born and was there with you when it was your time. You will always be my goober, bug, and baby. I truely love and miss you Zoie. I will see you again one day.

Your other mommy Liz.

My precious cat Zoie of 16 years got suddenly sick on a Monday (cancer) and I had to put her asleep the following Wednesday. I had a vet come to the house to do it. She had a reaction to the sedative and did not go peacefully. My entire intentions were to not make her suffer for a moment. It breaks my heart to come home and her not be here. Her illness to death was so sudden.It's been almost 3 weeks and I still find myself looking for her before realizing she is gone. My routine is broken along with my heart. She was a indoor-only pet. Very sweet and loving. I didn't think of her as a cat, but a member of the family. She never did anything to upset anyone, she was such a good girl. The 16 years I had her, she was ALWAYS there for me. She has seen me through good times and bad.I hope she knows how much I love and miss her.
I hope to see you again in a better place, Zoie!
Love Always,
Mommy Tammy

Zoie, we miss you so much.
You are truly momma's angel now.
You know how hard mommy worked to look for you as soon as she came home to find you missing and daddy too when he came back from his work trip.
Grandpa is sad because he didn't come out sooner, he really is a softie.
We all miss you terribly, but at least we know you are at peace now.
I know you will always be with us, but I do look forward to meeting you at the bridge.
I love you so much Zoie Bear.

Dan, Katie and Trixie Keilman

Long live the Queen. You are my best friend in
the whole world and I'm sorry that you had to
experience so much pain in passing - you did
not deserve it. You are a beautiful, elegant,
"radiant being of joy and light" who has
transcended this dense earthly plane. May you
live in comfort with God and his Angels for the
rest of eternity. Although I will miss you
teribly every day, the love we shared will
sustain me until we are reunited again forever.

Barbara Call

Dear fluffy girl--your love was sweet and innocent and pure. You were my first dog, girl. I remember your sweet personality and good nature.
You came into my life unexpected and unannounced, like some brilliant surprise.
I am so, so sorry I wasn't with you when you passed, but know that I loved you.
You came to me after I lost the baby and you saved me and for that I will be eternally grateful.
I will never forget how you guarded the new baby, how you treated him as if he were your own. How you let me hold you like a little doll. I love, love, love, love you. See you on the other side.

Ronnie McCrae

Zool was the first baby in our family. He was a wonderful son and brother. He was loved immensely and his loss is devastating to us. We will carry him in our hearts forever and be glad of the many years and good memories we have of him. Zool, run free and follow the full moon. We shabooly you forever!!!

Kristi, Jesse, Luna, Thor and Rowan

You and Griffin left me too soon.
I miss you.

Laura

My sweet little putty cat.

Bonita Hartley

We will always love you!

Luk Yan

He was the greatest dog who coped wonderfully with life on three legs for the last nine months.
The cancer which caused him to lose a leg eventually claimed his life.

R Bell

May God bless me with another cat as smart, loving, and sensitive.

Beth Smith

I miss you when something really good happens, because you are the one I want to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you are the one who understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry because i know that you are the one that makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear. I miss you all the time, but I miss you most when i lay awake at night and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other; for those were some of the best times of my life.

Brittany McKee

Zorro, you found us and made our lives special for eight years. Splash the water your special way and chase lots of squirrels until we meet again.

Gavin & Barbara Faulkner

Much loved.
Still missed every day.

Soc

He was the ray of light in our household that is now extinguished; a void in our hearts that will never be filled.
All we ask is that we will all be someday reunited because only by such hope can the terrible pain be made bearable.

Richard and Maria Bukowski

My sister brought him to us in her pocket book.
The family fell in love with him the second he popped his head out.
He was such a friend to us.
It has been a while since his passing, but we still miss him very much.
I think of him often and also cry for him.
I know he is in a better place now.
Our loss is Doggie Heavens gain.
We love you, Zorro.

Claudia

my Zorro my love my heart

Donna

Our sweet baby boy we miss you so very much. Your my love and my joy, my sweet baby boy! Play with Shelby til we meet again my love. "Twas heaven here with you.

Andie and Walter MacDonald

Zucchini was a wonderful cat. He was not your typical good cat who would catch bugs, but was more of a greeting cat. He greeted visitors like he knew them for a long time.
He passed away peacefully which was our wish. Although we miss him, we know he is in a better place now and eating all the food he loved so much. We will remember Zucchini forever, and he will not be replaced.

Evemarie Pastor and Gyuchul Sung

To my Zuesy i love you so much and i miss you, you brought joy to my life

Karen Jarrell

Zuess will be missed greatly. We take comfort in knowing that he was met by his human daddy in heaven.

Phyllis, Heather, Misty, Tasha, Jarred and Chrissy

My friend, my lover, my companion, my GENTLE GIANT. I love you and miss you, very much and will never forget you.........please never forget me! Till we meet again.

Love ya,

MOM

Rest in peace baby... I love you...

Justine

I remember your love of lifeZulu,you seemed happy all the time, even when I made you come in at your 9pm curfew. Even though you didn't like the rain or the snow you always found something positive about it, like chasing air bubbles in a quick flowing stream or watching the birds and squirrels search for seed in the snow.Your patience amazed me as you hunted shrews and voles, your speed left me opened mouthed as you pounced on a squirrel or a bird. I didn't like you hunting but you are a cat and I'd never deny you you instincts and what made you a cat. I could also never myself the joy at seeing how happy you were when you brought home your treasures.You'd announce to everyone in a loud voice to come see and we'd hear your purr before we'd even see you. The joy on your precious face and in the tossing and playing with your catch
still brings a smile to my face. I remember one summer trying to figure out what was crushing my tall phlox and then I saw you coming from the garden with a pink phlox flower sticking out one side of your mouth and a butterfly sticking out of the other, all I could do was laugh and curse that I didn't have my camera. You seemed to fear nothing, climbing trees to dizzing heights, sticking a paw into a dark deep hole under a pile of wood because you heard something, investigating everything,even the neighbourhood dogs, and you made friends with everything. You took so much joy in everything from a grasshopper in the garden to turkey dinner at Christmas to a simple chin rub in the evening, I'll never forget you. Thank you for helping me see the world as I once did as a child and for sharing your precious life with me.I miss you and my heart and soul will forever be entwined with yours, until we meet again my sweet boy, I love you and miss you so much, Heather

Probably one of the hardest decisions ive made i couldnt watch my boy suffer anymore, i let you go and i know it was for the best, no more struggling for breath no more struggling to walk, your free and i just hope your waiting for me at those golden gates, Goodbye old friend i miss you dearly x

Samson

Zulu, you are truly my angel dog now...remember, I would tell you goodnight and to sleep like an angel.
You endured so much in your life, and yet you remained my gentle giant, full of the love of life.
Know that you touched many hearts ... for tears have been shed from Alaska to North Carolina.
The day I took you to the vet, I thought you would be coming home with me to play in the snow that weekend.
My heart broke when the vet showed me the x-ray and said, "This is really bad.
This is bone cancer, this leg can break at any time"
I held you in my arms and tried to explain why you would not be going home with me, but instead you would be going across the Rainbow Bridge.
I told you Chaney would be there to meet you.
I love you so much still, I always will.
You were my once-in-a-lifetime dog, but so much more than that even, you were my protector, my companion, my friend.
You left your mark on my heart and on the heart of those who knew you.
My wish for you now is that you have lots of plush toys, your favorites of course; lots of your favorite treats; ripe raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and tomatoes to "steal."
By now you should have found the lake with the trout that you so wanted to help catch . . . and I hope the "Freds" across the Bridge are sharing their stories with you.
My world is so empty without you here to meet me at the door, greeting me with that wonderful "talk," telling me about your day, helping me with the firewood, but I know you are no longer in pain, that your beautiful body is whole, and that you are running with the wind.
I will be there one of these days, looking for you.
I love you, Zu-boy.
You were the best!

Gail Morgan

You are my blessing and my best friend.
I love you my little Angel from Heaven.
I miss you so much.
You are my Precious.

Estelle Willems

Zuzu, Momma's pretty girl I miss you so much it breaks my heart.
I wish I could have had you longer.
I love you Zuzubod.xoxoxox

Laurie

I LOVE YOU BABY, AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH.
YOU ARE FOREVER IN MY HEART.
REST EASY MY BIG BABY!!!
