Year 2008 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "B".

My beloved B W went to Heaven on May 21, 2008. He provided me daily joy for nearly 18 years. He's unforgettable and is missed tremendously. He had no health issues and his sudden death is even sadder because I ran over him in my driveway. We had such a special bond. God was calling his name and I do believe we'll meet again. BW - Mommy will love you always. aka Sharon

Phil 4:13 I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.

I acquired BA from a flea market where a man across the way was drowning him in a stream. We decided to keep him and he became a blood donor for one of my other cats. This tiny black kitten I saved grew to be 21 lbs as an adult. He looked more like a dog than cat and thought he was one also. His mama was my dog Sweetie who treated him as one of her own. As Sweetie got older he took care of her and would clean her face and ears. They would sleep together almost every night and when they didn't they would walk the house to try and find each other. When BA was about 8 Sweetie went int o surgery and when they opened her up they found cancer and we decided to put her asleep because we did not want her to suffer. BA never recovered from losing his mother. He would cry for her and look for her for years. When BA turned about 12 his kidneys started to fail and I would give him IV's once a week of 200 cc's of saline. Then during Spring Break we noticed that he could not stand on his back legs when he was at the water bowl. I brought him into the vet and they told me he had a blood clot. I put my friend to sleep because I did not want him to hurt anymore. It has been a year now and not a day goes by that I do not think of him. I know that he is with his mother Sweetie and they are waiting for me.

BAB was truly a GENTLE GIANT. I found it absurd when people, including professionals asked "Does She Bite?". In my 7 years of caring for her I NEVER saw her make an aggressive move toward ANYONE.
She was big in body (12lbs) and big in HEART. She honestly loved to be loved. BAB loved the attention, especially from children. She brought joy and happiness to many people.
BAB will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.

"Move On, Be Brave
Don't Weep ay My grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"

Tim Cadieux

Our Babe, He was truly a one-of-a-kind boy!
He would carry around shoes as soon as you got home but would never chew them up. He would gut all the stuffing out of a stuffed toy and go right for the squeaker. We loved him dearly and will miss him every day!
Fetch your sticks in heaven dear friend
forevermore,
Love Always,
Mom, Dad, Nikki, Bailey, Colt, and Tosh

My sweet girl battled with lymphoma for 2 and half years.
During that time I was grateful for every day that we had together.
She was my best friend and my heart aches without her.
Thank you Babe, for all the wonderful times that we had together. I will miss your wonderful puppy kisses and not having you by my side anymore. I will always love you.

Debbie

Our Babette was the Casper of our lives as she was kind to every living creatue ... the perfect companion.

Babette was kind,considerate,loving,loyal,gentle and humble.

For over 11 years she gave our family unconditional love and as we grieve her loss we give thanks and graditude for her company and the time we had with her as a family. Her memories will live on in our hearts forever.

Babette was a Blessing and we thank God for the time we had with her. We love you, Babette

The Bergin Family

Bette and I have had a heck of a run!
She was born in Germany in a horse barn.
When I first got her, she was wild!
I then moved on to Italy, then back to the US, then Panama, and I now live in England.
She put up with my dragging her around like that, which always amazed me.

Because of her advanced age, I have been mentally preparing myself for her passing.
On June 30, 2008, she came in and laid in my lap for about an hour, clinging to me.
She then got up and went into the back garden, and slept on the chaise.
When I went to check on her 30 mins later, she was gone.
She went out and found her a quiet spot and went to sleep.

Bette, I am missing you so badly! But I have to admire how you chose to go - a real cat class act.

I'll love you forever,

See ya later, alligator......

Pam Suddreth

I know your better now and running around with Puffy and all the others who are waiting for me at Rainbow Bridge. I miss you sleeping on the bed with me and even the constant barking, most times at nothing! Clancy really misses you too, he does'nt even want to play without you.Alison keeps looking for you to chase her around the house.Please come visit me in my dreams, I'll always love you, my Babins.

Jill Johnson

She was a special friend that I love miss and I will never forget her.

Rose OLeary

Baby, my sweet pea and beatiful girl, I miss you so much. I know you are in a peaceful place filled with only love. You taught me what love truly is and I will always feel you in my heart. Thank you sweetheart for your increadible presence in my life ...I miss you and I love you honey! I know we will meet again...

Always,
Your mommy!

BABY WAS THE BEST LITTLE GIRL IN THE WORLD, SHE HAD US WRAPPED AROUND HER PAWS. SHE WAS VERY SPOILED AND HER SISTER PEACHES LOVED HER DEARLY.
THEY STAYED CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND PEACHES MADE SURE THAT BABY WAS FIRST FOR EVERYTHING. BABY WAS SO SWEET AND LOVED TO GO RIDING IN THE CAR. BABY WILL BE MISSED BUT SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS.

Melissa & William, Peaches Lucy

God speed my Baby girl,I will see you on the other side !

Mary Hipple

To Baby-who has already crossed over the rainbow bridge. I loved you and had fun with you for years. You loved me too. You liked running water from the faucet so I would turn it on for you to drink. It was so cute. You tried
to get on to my shoulder to perch there, but you didn't quite make it all the time! You would run and bring me mice,and as much as I didn't like it, it was your present to me, so I never reacted harshly. When I brought another cat into the house, you were jealous, and for that I am sorry for your feelings.Chloe did like you though, but you never took to her. When you got sick at fourteen,about the same time I did, my friend found you a new home, but you got even sicker being away from me,and you died. I feel quilty to this day. My little baby! Thank you for all the wonderful years we spent together. I grieve for you still.I will always love you my little sweetie. Bless you, my little darling.

Our "Lil Baby"

August 4, 2008

Black and white farm cat
Calling Baby and she came
Running across the yard
So Swift and cute
Purring and affectionate
Soft and meek
Good bird watcher and mouser
Loving family member
Christine's baby
waiting up for her at night
laying in the sun in the heat
stretched out on the carpet
Queen of the pets
Until the end
still loving us
We miss and her and always will
A 15 year member of our family
We love you so very much Baby

Suzanne and Christine

Baby was the best cat in the world.
We only wish we had more time with her.
Although she lived a good 8 years and had a happy life, it seems much too short.
She was taken from us so suddenly we didn't have a chance to say goodby.
Baby, we love you and miss you soo much.
You will never be forgotten.

Meg, Tom, Ben and Wyatt Snyder and Brother Principe

Baby, I miss you so much.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. It hurts so much that I can hardly breth. I was your "mommy" from the time you were a week old.
You were alway so happy to see me, pacing the bottom of your cage until you got to come out and be on my shoulder.
You used to peck my shoulder to say "your mine".
I miss that so much.
I miss your special songs, putting your beak on my lips to make sure I heard you.
I can't even make coffee without thinking of you.
You did all the sound effects...the water, the microwave, the stirring spoon... looking at me for my approval.
I would give everything I have for one more day with you.
You are in my heart forever.
I am struggling to move forward in a world that is infinitely sadder without you by my side.
My little friend....I love you.
I hope you felt how very much you touched me.
My life will never be the same.

Ally

Binsky, there never was a better cat.

Kristen Geyer & Brad Knowles

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

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

You were the best boxer girl a mom could ever ask for.
I miss you so much and I hope to see you again at the Rainbow Bridge.
Until then my sweet Beano I have to believe that you can still hear me, and I speak to you everyday.

Jackie Wilmer

I SO LOVED MY BABY , BUT SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE NOW. I WILL ALWAYS CHERRISH MY SHORT TIME WITH MY BABY, SHE PASSED IN MY ARMS AND SHE KNEW I WAS THERE WITH HER, AND MOST OF ALL BABY KNEW THAT I REALLY LOVED HER.

Patty Krzywda

I met Baby about 5 years ago, when my husband and I started dating. My husband told me don't bother with him, he doesn't sit on anyones lap but mine...within the minute he was sitting on my lap. From that moment on Baby was my best friend. I loved him soo much.
We had a special relationship, that I've never had with any other animal.. He was the most handsome Black cat, with the greenest eyes ever..He had soo much love in him. I miss him sooo much. In Janurary he was diagnosed with lymphomia, and he fought through that. He was the strongest most kind hearted soul I have ever came across. This past week he was diagnosed with acute kidney failure, we put him down on Friday at 5:10...it was the hardest thing I've ever done, but he was suffering soo much. I am in soo much pain at this point..Everything reminds me of him, his favorite spots to lay, his hiding spots when he wanted to be left alone, the last place he was before we left for the vet..I feel as though my world has fallen apart, but it was his pain that needed to be ended. I love him soooo much, and always will. I will see him again someday, and untill then I hope he remembers me.
Baby Niece, the most talkative, kind hearted, best friend anyone could ever ask for!

Sarah Niece

Oh Baby, your sudden passing this morning is unbelievable and unbearable. You left your Mommy and Daddy and your younger brother Sockie alone in this world. What are we going to do and how are we going to cope without you? We love you and miss you already and don't know how can we go on from now. We will always be together, the four us forever and I hope we all will be together again. Please come back to the house and visit us. We love you Son,

Mommy and Daddy and Sockie

For 12 years you were my best friend, my protector and the closest thing I had to a child.
I miss you so much.

Jill M

I miss you and I wish I could have done more.
See you in heaven, Baby.

Chris

You were my best friend, and I will always remember you..

Al Palusky

You found me when I was grieving
You loved me , Protected me and comforted me.

You are always in my heart!

Debbue

My dear BABY you will remain in my heart forever!!I love you and miss you.You will never be too far from my heart. You will always be in my mind. One day, maybe not yet I will meet you and then we can live together again. Just like old times.

Amber, Logan, Jim, Christine

To our wonderful Baby, we miss you and love you.

Autumn

passed away after a short illness. we love you and miss you. x

Mark and Chris

Baby was our sweet, happy, healthy and energetic 1/2 Poodle, 1/2 Chihuahua. We have had many dogs over the years, all big dogs, but Baby was the most special. She was so smart, that it appeared she knew exactly what we were thinking and feeling.
She always wanted to be close to us to snuggle and give kisses.
She even slept in our bed at night, with her head on my pillow.
She could make us laugh and smile at the drop of a hat.
She was the ultimate sunshine in our lives.

Baby was tragically taken from us this past Saturday, as she was attacked by 2 Pit Bulls.
She thought they wanted to play.
We couldn't get to her soon enough.

The Huss Family

Gentle Journey my Little Man, you have a piece of my Heart to forever keep and the beating is my Love for you to go on forever until we meet once again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Love and Miss you Baby, until we meet again!!!

Cindy Millar

I love you and will always remeber you. My special angel

Mackenzie

Our dear Baby: everyone's ray of light. You were my best friend in the entire world; the brother I never had, and no creature, human or not, can ever fill the void you left in my heart, or our mommy's heart. We had 15 amazing years and it gives me comfort to know you're up there with your littermate, and our brother, Tuffy, grandma Chickie, and all the relatives and pets in our family that came before you. I am so sad you never got to meet Nico; I know you'd be a great influence and love him dearly. He'd have loved you, too. He doesn't quite "get" the other cats, since they aren't up for his rough play, but you would have put up with it. You put up with everything. I love you forever. We all do. Casimir and Paris are no exception.

And our beloved Tuffy, we became so close before you passed and I am so thankful for that. I knew it wasn't easy for you to deal with me when I was a child; I dressed you up, held you against your will, was very hyper, etc. I'm glad you had Chickie and that she had you in her final years. You also had mommmy, and she loves and misses you as much as I do.

I know you're both together and looking down on us. We can't wait to see you both again someday.

Love always,
Tara, Diane, Paris, Casimir, and Nico.

My precious Baby Bear~
May the sun always shine on your glossy black coat;
May your chase your tail in Heaven and climb the highest of trees;
May the burden of aggression be soothed in your troubled soul;
May all your physical wounds be healed;
May you never go hungry or lonely again;
May you forgive me for my weakness at your darkest hour;
May you always know how much you were loved;
May you walk in peace, my precious Baby Bear!
Te Amo Mucho - Adieu!

Christine Poe

Good-bye my dear friend.

Sandra

My baby bird was my life and I will miss him until I can be with him again at the Bridge. I love you, baby bird.

Donna Ambrosini

My dog Baby was always following me everywhere.
He would defend me by barking his head off.
He was loyal, loveable, cute, wonderful, happy and the most incredible doggy in the world.
He was by 'Little Boy".
He will be greatly missed and I will forever grieve for his death.

Rogelio Valdez

You were all of light and love and wonder, silly Baby Dee. I miss your little cocked head as you ask for pets. I miss everything about you, my brave, brave girl.

Martha

My sweet baby Edward fought hard to survive for eight days. We found him beneath our sago palm tree in our back yard. His little sister lie beside him. The burrow was cold, so I covered it up with nearby leaves, and placed to sticks over it. For two days I watched it. The mother never returned. On the third day, I once again checked on the babies, now three-four days old. My poor sweet baby girl had gone to bunny heaven. Her brother, my Baby Edward, was cold and trembling beside her. I took him in, warmed him up and gave him some goat milk. I had taken care of a baby before. He began to walk the next day, and was very energetic. The day after, he opened his eyes. On the seventh day, he stopped eating. And by 10am on the eighth day, as I held him and cried, whispering to him that it was ok, that his sister was waiting for him, to not be afraid... My sweet baby Edward passed on with a sigh. He relaxed under my hand and was gone, just like that. He will be creamated tomorrow. The company is giving me a small placard with his pawprint on it and a lock of his hair.

Brittani

Goodbye my sweet little daughter. You brought so much light into my life. When I was alone and scared you were there. When I was happy you were there. When I was lonely you were there. Always rolling under my feet and following me all around the house. You chewed more balls than I can count. What I wouldn't give right now to have you keep me company while I clean the house. You did your little 'mommy mommy' dance when you wanted me out. You missed me when I was gone. I gave you tons of kleenex and tons of love. I hope you know how much sunshine you brought into my life. Thank you for being my little baby girl. Mommy loves you.

baby girl you were so close to me bobby jack and i miss you incredibly he sat by you when you would not

awake and has not stopped singing. we love you and miss you i hope you are ok were you are

I miss my Baby Girl so much.This house is so empty without you.Someday I know you will be waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge but when I see you again I know you will be healthy and able to see us.

Jan(Mom), Chuck(Dad)

Baby had a rough start. We found her very ill on a dark country road 11 years ago. No one thought she would make it, but with alot of help and love, she lived a wonderful life. She was more than my best friend, she was my life. One year ago, she started having breathing problems and was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. Again, with alot of help and love, she was okay with medication. On February 7, 2008, the medicine and oxygen would not help. I had to make the hardest decision I ever had to make. She is now waiting for me on Rainbow Bridge. No more pain or suffering. I miss her so bad that my heart actually hurts. I cry all the time, and so did Laila, Baby's sister. So I went to the pound and rescued another sister for Laila. They became fast friends in less than a week. I love them dearly, but no one can replace MY BABY.

Cheri Harris

Last Weds I lost my best friend Baby.
The blessed me with her for 17 plus AWESOME and happy years.
After she and I lost our Maine Coon, Max "Hubbs" Flash her heart was heavy as she missed Hubbs.
Plus the were getting hard on her.
I had her Baby in my lap when she left us.
I gave her the best life that I could constantly showering her with love.
I miss you Baby and Max aka Hibbs and Hubbs!
I look forward to being with you again at Rainbow Bridge.

Kelly Thomas McGuire

You will always be in my heart & love my faithful Baby Jake, I love you always.
Mom Joan

my wonderful Pet ( friend )
I ll miss you so much

Karen Tefteller

I am truly saddened by the lost of our Baby.
We miss her terribly.
Baby was my child and the most amazing talking bird I have ever cared for.
Her normal call was sweetly "I love you".
Baby had a routine of 20 to 25 spoken phrases and talks like a human being, knowing the meaning of her words.
She laughs in my voice and never shrieks or screams.
All she ever did was talk like a person.
She was the most lovable, adorable and sweet member of our family.

It was so hard for me to grieve over her lost, since I went away for a week and my boyfriend took her to an uncaring vet that gave her parrot food and caused her death over a minor cold that I could have cured if I am home.
This was the hardest thing to bear.

I'm so sorry Baby, I should have came home earlier.
You are sorely missed!

Harriet Vu

With me from some of the hardest times in my adolescence till now; she has been here, warming my lap and chest, snuzzling my face with kisses, and providing comforts through family deaths, marraige, our pregnancy and childbirth.
She has an amazing spirit, and making the decision to euthanize her after all this time has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
It is the right choice for her.
I know her energy will bless another person who needs it, as she blessed me with it.
Heartache to my core in this, her ninth hour, waiting for the appointment tomorrow, and wondering how in the world I'm going to handle missing her meows and snuggles.
She was my first child, and her paw prints will forever be in my heart.

Annamarie

To our sweet little girl who made our lives so much better having been such a big part of them. She meant the world to us and we've been lost without her. No matter how long we had it wasn't enough time. We know she is in a better place now and is playing with her sister, Mama who we lost 3 years ago. We miss you both so much!!

John Deluca & Will Noble

When I fist saw you at the shelter, they called you Jasmine.
But I knew you were to my Baby, and so it was.
Baby Kitty--you just got a little pudgy, so we added the fat girl middle name.
So beautiful you were, absolutely stunning blue eyes, and ever so dainty little white mittens.
I will always miss you.

Michele Sandridge

Brave little lady.

She fought till the end.

She had a special place in our hearts.
She will always be special to us.
Rest in peace little lady.

Pat Grosse

My Green Cheek Conure was called BabyBird. He was a very entertaining, adventurous and curious bird who loved climbing to the highest perch, playing with his toys,preening his cagemate, my Sun Conure, Tweek. Sadly Babybird passed away last night after a bad injury to his head and neck. He died at home surrounded by family members who loved him very much. we are heartbroken and miss him unbearably....Please keep BabyBird in your thoughts today--he will be missed terribly and NEVER forgotten...
Peace to all.

Rogelio Valdez and Stephen Anderson

BabyGirl we had a rough start as you didn't know if you could trust or not, but after a while we became best buddies.
I miss you so much and have such a hole in my heart.
I miss your whole back end wiggling when I got up this morning as you used to greet me in the kitchen.
I miss the cold nose on my lap in the evening as you looked up in my eyes every night.
I rescued you from an abusive home and you repayed me by rescuing me from a fire.
Thank you so much BabyGirl.
You run free and chase those balls I will see you soon as I know you are truly my angel sent to watch over me.
I love you dummy dog!
Love mommy

We lost Babykins today to liver disease. It's been a sad day. We will miss her so much. She was a sweet kitty.

Phyl

I miss Babykitty very much and I will remember his special ways and the bond we shared for the rest of my life.

Shirley Kennett

My purrecious BabyKitty I love you with all my heart. I hope and pray you are with our Creator and happily playing with my baby boy Jonathon, my parents, and all my furr~baby companions. Thank you for sharing your life with me; you brought Love back into my heart after the loss of JOnathon and made me remember how much God loves and cares for us. My love always, SunShine and I both miss you every day. We can hardly bear to go outside since you are not here with us in physical form. Know you live in my heart always.

Jani

We were blessed with 19 years of love and devotion from Bacall.
We will miss her little temper tantrums..and the pounding of the steps .. the way she would patiently wait for Dad to come home and take care of your needs..than totally ignore him for mom when she would get home from work.
We know that you are with the 2 Bogarts playing in heaven.
Be happy and free.
Love you always, Mom and Dad

Bacall was my sweet little mixed breed tuxedo cat who was the joy of my life. Of my 3 cats she was the one with the most loving affectionate disposition, even though quietly expressed. Not at lap cat, she would love to curl up next to me and would happily have been petted forever if I would have obliged, all the while purring quietly. She seemed fine until last week when her entire digestive tract went haywire. She was vomiting continually and lost all interest in food. Nothing seemed to help and I had to put her to sleep today. My heart hurts and feels raw. I feel there was more I should have done, but my own health is not good and money is tight. She was a loving soul. I stayed with her and talked to her through the end. I only hope she can forgive me for what I did.

Rebecca A. Belcher

Cardi Girl... I cannot believe you are gone.
I miss you more than you'll ever know...

Gypsy and Pippy miss you too... we love you!

Lisa Romano

bacardi will be missed but still in my heart forever

Crystal Schulmeier

We will miss you and your big heart (and thick skull).
You will always be with us in spirit.

Joy and Ken Bowley

You will be sad I understand, Don't let grief then stay your hand, For on this day, more than the rest, Your love and friendship must stand the test.

Dawn & Pat Gunter

We Bless our Beloved Bacckus as we let her go and be with God...her Spirit will be in our Hearts
Forever.
Her life and incredible presence has been a precious gift to us.

Kim Lehnert-Sweeney, Tim Sweeney, Timmy Jay Sweeney, Lucas Eugene Sweeney

You were a sweet wonderful dog & I am so so glad your persistence found our pack. You tried to please more than any one I've known & you did. You Bentley,Bummer & I will always run together in my thoughts, dreams & in the next life. You were

I thank all 3 of you for entering my life--what blessings--& god how I miss you all.

Katarina Zarlengo & Tim Joyce

I miss you
It wasnt fair
I love you

Lori

Baci lived life knowing he was smarter and better looking than anyone else.
He wowed everyone with how far he would stick out his tongue while relaxing.
He was a wannabe chef, spending hours at our feet while we cooked waiting for something to drop.
He loved Saturday morning eggy breakfast and a good piece of steak.
There will be many car rides in his new home and this time brother won't push you out of the way.

Cassie and Cindy Vigue and Brother Bailey

RIP Bacon - you were an awesome cat that will be greatly missed.

Ps. Thanks for the visit.

I found badger 21 years ago. She was living in a back yard under a trailer. The people who had her did not let her inside. One day I went by it was hosing rain. Badger was digging a hole under the trailer to get out of the down pour.. By then I had walked to the fence many times and said to her. When ever you want to be a free dog and have the best dogs life just let me know and give me a sign. Well several days before Thanksgiving she saw me coming and when I walked up to the fence to give here a bite she jumped up and tried to climb the fence. That was it I pulled her up and that was the beginning of 21 years of the best love I have ever had.. She went to work with me she went to the store with me. She would go in the spring and summer to Washington state and sometimes up to Alaska. She ran in the trees and ratched in the grass. She was the best digger and in no time a big hole was there with half her body in the hole her rump in the air and tail a wagging
as she dug away...
She was always with me everyday and everwhere. She was my best friend she was smart and a tuffie. She would run around the house with her babies and shake them and play get the Badger .And boy could she run . She had a personality of Im Badger Im in charge lets get going and go chase squirrles and go for a walk or go somewhere. We would go on trips she would be in the front seat head out the window barking to the world that Dog dad and Badger were on the road and coming. She was always on watch no sound went undetected or was not worthy of some investigation... She had the best as she was the best... On December 18 /08 my birthday Badger had a stroke and went blind. But she did her best to keep going. It took 2 weeks for her to be able to walk again. I would help her to the front lawn in the morning rub her hippi hips. And work with her to get her going one step at a time. I kept helping her for 4- months when it got to the point she had lost so much muscle mass she had a difficult time standing. But even in the end she wanted to keep going. LOVE is what makes the universe flow its what is good and right and above all true. And I was one of the lucky ones to have been given LOVE from my Badger the fur girl the pearl girl . She was helped along Monday the 28th day of April 2008 @ 12:20. BADGER My Girl always in my heart and my thoughts one day we will be together again as all energy is forever. We will know each other over time and come together again in same souls and spirits but in new bodies. Thank you FUZZIE BADGER GIRL for everything. Thank You DOG MOM for all your help Remember LOVE when ya get past the junk of life LOVE is all there is...And Thank You to Dawn the vet for coming to the house and helping my girl along... DOG DAD... Thank you to Chewi and White meat for being Badgers mates. And to My boy Mogwa who went on his way on August-11th- 2002. Who was the best boy of all the boys and was Badgers protector LOVE YA ALL Greg

Your time with us was too short and you didnt deserve to leave us so soon. We will miss you and you will be in our hearts forever.

Jackie Warner Ost

Bailey was my third bunny, and by far, the most loving and friendly bunny there ever was.
He lived for the attention of everyone who came to see him, and most of all for me.
It is amazing how smart rabbits can be.
After his morning pellet food breakfast, he stood up at the side of the cage until he got his chunk of banana.
At the end, I pressed in his antibiotic pill and was able to get it into him.
At night, when I turned out the light, he was up there again, waiting for his banana yogurt treat.
I will always miss the love of my furry bunny - he was the best!!

Corinne Montgomery

Bailey was my friend, she tolerated others but she was mine.
I loved her unconditionally even with the mischief she got into and I know that she loved me with her whole great big heart.
I miss her every day and will for the rest of my life.
She could play catch like nothing I have ever seen and would play till I wore out.
She was my pal and I will love her forever.

Joe

Thank you for always always being happy.

Kim Kino

What can I say about our beautiful Bailey?
He came into our lives like a tornado....and was the best boy ever!
Everyone who met him fell in love with him.....as a family member reminisced about him, she said, "How could you not love him?
He DEMANDED it and wouldn't have it any other way." :)
He was so special and there is a hole in our hearts today.
We know he's waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge and that comfort will help us get through the coming days.
Bailey, buddy, we love you so much and will miss you always.
Our lives were richer because of you!

Mike and Gerri D

We will miss you very much "sugars".
You were a great best friend these past five years.
I hope you are pain free now.
I miss your sloppy kisses and your "kidney bean" dance.
Your sister misses you too.
See you at the bridge.
Love Mom and Dad

"Our Smoothie" -- Bailey was a 'Southern Calif. Rescue Collie' who saved our lives by being the most precious ever.
Until we meet at The Bridge my little boy...

Mom

You will be missed, my friend. Happy trails til we meet again.

J. Carmichael

My dearest friend, thank you for loving me so unconditionally all of these years. Go in peace run and play until we meet again. Now you feel no more pain and can run free! Tell everyone I will see them soon! I love you now forever and always.

Today, 10/3/2008 at 3PM we will say goodbye to our first little one.
Bailey is such a wonderful dog, and we are honestly not sure what life will be like without her.
She has had a long and eventful life.
She has lived in 6 different cities with us, and in 10 different homes.
Well over 15 years old, she has had a really great life, and just this week has taken a very bad turn in her health.
We stuggle with the pain and guilt of giving up on her, but honestly know that we are just being selfish if we don't allow her to go on to the Rainbow Bridge.
She's the first dog we got as a family, even before our son was born, and other than many fish (we are not too good at aquariums), the first pet we have had that has died.

Bailey will always be remembered as the boss of the house.
She has ruled our home for many years, and we are not sure what order will be established when she's gone.
We have fond memories of her many battles with Zac when we brought him home from the hospital.
Both grandparents said, "you've got to get rid of that dog"...but eventually Zac and Bailey established the rules of their relationship, and became best friends.

Funny times also come to mind when she was sprayed by the skunk in our back yard in Moore, OK.
What a mess it made in the carpet when she came back in the house!
Even funnier was the bleached hair she had from the attempts to clean the smell from her.

Bailey was a mouse hunter by trade.
Giving it up only a few years ago, as she finally decided to retire when we moved to Florida in 2005.
She really enjoyed the warm weather and long daily walks through the palm tree neighborhoods.

Bailey also go to enjoy the move back to the Texas in May of 2008.
She really liked our new home and big back yard.

Bailey leaves behind her Family, Bryan, Karen, Zac(14yrs old), Madison (11 yr old mini schauzer) and Civi (7 month old golden doodle).

She will be missed by our entire family and circle of friends, but everyone knows she will be much happier soon.

Rest Well Bailey.

Bryan, Karen and Zac Fennell

Bailey was a wonderful and handsome dog.
He brought great joy and contentment to our family.
Everyone always commented on what a great dog he was.
Kids use to come up to him and ask if they could pet him.
He was so approachable and everyone wanted to touch his ears.
He use to love digging holes and run in the backyard and chase rabbits, and howl at night.
Oh how I miss that howl.
He use to love to see when the girls grandparents would come and visit. The Grandpa's use to love to take him for a walk.
My girls enjoyed petting and feeding Bailey.
When my husband would come home from work Bailey would greet him with his tail wagging.
We certainly miss our beloved Beagle Bailey, and he will always be in our hearts. I loved Bailey so much and remember I use to sing to him in his younger years.
We loved taking care of him.
He is now with cousins Sally and Casey.
We love you Bailey.

Love Mom and Dad and the girls always!!!!

He loved bananas, pears and paper cups,
He played hide and seek each day.
He'd "talk" to you for hours on end,
and had a lot to say.
He was so smart - you'd swear he was human,
when you looked into his eyes you knew what he was thinking and he knew what you where thinking too. He was our buddy, pal and confidante, sweet, loyal and true. You will be missed by everyone who's life you touched. You left paw prints on our hearts.

Diane Anderson

Bailey I love and miss you so much.I rescued you when you where a year old and gave you so much love as you did me.I will always hold you in my heart forever.I sleep with your Beddy Bear your favorite stuffed animal and makes me feel so close to you.I love you my Doggie and will see you again.Love your mom Teresa

Bailey, my unconditional friend, you are now a beautiful, twinkling, pretty star in the evening sky, running and playing and guarding the gates of Heaven.
It is still very hard for me when I come home from work and know that you will not be barking and tearing around the corner at break neck speed, with your tail wagging so fast that your whole body wiggles, when I open the door. One evening, when Sammy and I went outside, he looked up at the stars, pointed at one, and said, "There's Bailey, Grandma.
She winked at me."
And I smiled.
Thank you Pretty Girl for being so wonderfully spirited, for loving me, and for letting me love you.

Grandma and Sammy

Our Beautiful Bailey.
We tried so hard to help you but it was not to be.
You are desparately missed darling and will be forever in our hearts.
The house is so empty without you and we look forward to being with you again over the Rainbow Bridge.
Love Mummy & Daddy x x x x

Bailey,

Mommy & Daddy miss you so very much.
We think of you every day and miss your smile and kisses.
Our home is so very empty and lonely without you, Pumpkin.
Say 'hi' to Grandpa for us and play hard pal.

We Love You!
Mommy & Daddy (Lori & Jeff)

Bailey was my big sweetie.
He loved everyone and never turned down a meal or a "cookie."
My comfort during stressful and difficult times and my very best friend always.
I will miss him terribly and love him forever.
He touched many lives in a good way.
Thanks to Debby at Golden Grove Kennels for bringing Bailey to our family!

Bailey was a leukemia-positive Maine Coon mix kitten rescued from a kill shelter. He lived a happy, healthy life for two years before the disease took him from me. My dear, sweet Bailey Boy, I miss you so much. You will always and forever live in my heart.

Donna Fincher

Bailey was my best friend and companion.
I miss her every day.
She was the best dog ever and a loss I will feel forever.

Kathleen Dunsworth

Even though our time together was short, you brought amazing joy to my life.
You entered my life just when I needed you most.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. And every day that passes I miss you more and more.
I love you Bailey boy. You will always hold a special place in my heart and I can't wait until we meet on that rainbow bridge and I can feel your sweet little kisses on my face again.
You are forever in my heart and always on my mind.

Love,
Your Mommy.



Bailey picked me to be her mommy when I was 16. I had been wanting a dog of my own. But my mom kept telling me that we had to wait for our pot bellied pig to pass. Harley (the pig) passed at the age of 16. A week later I was at the feed store picking up horse feed and there was a pen of puppies. I noticed that they were part ACD because all of the boys were blue. I had my heart set on a blue for years. So I sat down on the ground and opened the door to the pen. I called the puppies to me and they all just sat there. Except for a little sickly looking red female. She crawled her way out over the males and made her way to my lap where she curled up and fell asleep. She came home with me that day. I was told that she was part ACD/ Aussi Sheppard. But Dr. Chris thinks she has some lab or something else in her. I dont know what she is but I love her with all my heart.

The day that you picked me to be your mommy willbe a day that I will remember forever. You are and always will be the love of my life. Bailey was diagnosed with Auto Immune Disorder on June 28. She was able to come home the next day with a bag full of pills to try and help suppress her immune system to bring up her red blood cells. Well Friday night the 28th she started having seizers. That night was rough for her because she fought so hard to stay with me. We made it through the night. Only to have our normal vet say that it was her time to go. So as Dr. Chris gave you the shot. I held you in my arms and with your last look you told me that you understood and loved me too. You taught me patients, forgiveness, and most of all love. You loved me when I was sick, crying, moody, upset, sad and happy. You loved me for who I am. And I can't even say that much about myself. You showed me what love really is. Love is unconditional. And that is what you gave me. Your time with me was cut short. 10 years is just not enough. I never imagined that I would ever loose you. You were supposed to be with me forever. You were going to be there when I had kids. To be their first dog. You made an impact on everyone you met. Even in your last days you were the best girl in the world. The vets and staff at the ER could not believe how good you were for being in so much pain. It was the hardest thing that I will ever go through watching you pass. I hope you know how much you are loved. You mean the world to me and I will always love you. I know that you had a part in bringing me and Kita together. She does many things that you did. I talk to you everyday and tell you that you are never really gone. I love you.

Allison

My heart breaks missing you my dearest friend, thank you for 13 years of unconditional love,companionship, loyalty, and joy! Thank you for waiting for me to say goodbye, thank you for guiding me to Diohje, you always were selfless, kind, and such a gentle soul.
You are my beautiful, regal, prancer, my cancer survivor buddy,my sweet "Bailey Boy"

Your paw print is in my heart forever.

Are you running with Dakotah now??
I am picturing you! Can you still out run him??

You are so special, so loved, so precious.

Please wait for me at the bridge.
xoxoxoxo I love you dearly, your mommy

My Dearest Bailey Boof Dog,

I had to say goodbye to your sweet face, loving eyes and beautiful soul yesterday. In my 43 years it's one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. We belonged to each other for 14 blessed years that now have to last me the rest of my life. The tears won't stop and my heart feels like it has broken in two. I hear you in every sound and see you peeking at me around every corner. I couldn't sleep last night knowing that it would end the last day of having you physically here with me, the last morning of greeting each other, letting you out to do your doggie business and then giving you your breakfast and the all important snackers. Yesterday you didn't want breakfast until I heated up leftover meatloaf which you ate with a gusto I knew you didn't really feel but probably did so to make me happy. You went outside to do your thing on feeble legs because you knew that was where you were supposed to do it even though you collapsed on the way there and daddy and I had to help you. You always had such dignity. You and I spent the day on our bed after daddy put you up there. I knew the hours were winding down before you had to go to the vet, and I think you knew too. We spent a lot of time just being peaceful together. I read and you slept off and on, occasionally opening your eyes and making sure I was still there with you and when you realized I was always touching you, you would give a soft sigh and close your eyes again. We talked about a lot of things, well, I talked and you listened, humouring me as always, but you responded with your soulful eyes and raise of your grayed eyebrows. I told you how much I loved you and how you have always filled my heart with such joy. I told you how much your grammy and grandy love you and how they will miss their sweet granddog. They loved to spoil you rotten in spite of my protests. When they would come to visit, you would swap days being grammy's dog one day and grandy's the next, always sharing your love and devotion. Grandy used to share his toast with you in the mornings and I know he will never forget your special times together. Grammy constantly hand fed you off her plate and let you lick icecream off her spoon. Your were their's during those time, momma was just the constant figure going to and coming from work. I would come in in the evening and you would look at me as if to say, "Look mom! I'm the luckiest dog in the world! Grammy and grandy came all the way from Florida to Colorado just to see me!" But when the lights went you, you would say your goodnights to them and faithfully pad into my bedroom to keep me company. Those mornings you would creep in with grammy and grandy and wait for them to open an eye so you could greet them and make sure they knew they had another fun filled Bailey Dog day ahead of them. They loved you so much.
Yesterday we talked about all the wonderful, favorite things of yours you will be able to do once you crossed over the bridge. You can be free and have the youth and energy to chase all the squirrels you want. You can be with Lizzie now and the two of you can chase away the nasty old magpies so the little birds can roost. You can have all the Taco Bell beef burritos you want, chew on all the Dingo Bones and the softie snackers your daddy always bought for you when your teeth started getting too brittle for hard goodies. Your and Lizzie can eat all the horse poop you want without me fussing about your breath afterwards. You can show off again for Devra's sweet Jesse who is up there waiting for you. You can remind her how you taught her to stomp her foot and and "rroooowwwrrr" when you wanted attention. Steffie's Dolly is waiting for you too. You really loved "Rah" and spent a lot of time teaching her the joy of chasing squirrels. Daddy only got to spend 4 short years with you but loved you from the start. I think the first time he came to visit us he got down on the floor with you before he even greeted me. When we moved to Texas to be with him he took such pains to make sure you were comfortable here. He fixed up several Boof nap and sleeping spots for you, fussed in the winter about adding more warm blankets to your pallet at the end of the bed, always made sure your water was fresh and filled, would almost make himself late for work because we were low on snackers and he had to run to the store. He dropped whatever he was doing no matter the time of day or night if you needed to go out. You two spent a lot of time exploring the wonders of the back yard and looking at stars. When he would get home at night he would always give momma a kiss and then get on the floor with you and kiss you and make over you and tell you how handsome you were. He always shared his food with you and made sure the last bite on his plate was for the Boof Dog. In these last weeks and days he shadowed you, helped you to your feet when your old tired body couldn't defy gravity, but let you keep your dignity and walk on your own, though with his hands waiting behind you to reach out and steady you when you got wobbly or your legs gave out. He was always tuned in to your sounds in the middle of the night and heard if your were trying to get up to go out or just change positions and would leap lovingly out of bed to help you. When you would be resting he would always make sure you had a fan blowing on you in every room of the house to keep you cool. He loved you like he had raised you from a puppy and will miss you dearly.
As for your momma, sweet darling dog of mine, there will never be enough time or space or words to say what you have meant to me. We have been through so much together. You have been my heart and soul from the first day. You were eight weeks old when I went to find you. There was a huge litter of adorable Springer Spaniel puppys romping around that yard, but within minutes you came and sat on my foot and looked up at me. I didn't look at any of the other puppies after that. You came home with me and our journey started. You never questioned why momma looked a little different, why I walked on crutches and only had one leg. You just knew not to trip me when you carefully walked between my crutches and that I was yours and you were mine. You never questioned why I couldn't run with you or why it took me longer to get where I was going, you just slowed your paced and stayed next to me. I will never forget the days and and hours we spent at horse shows and how you would be out in the arena with me while I was judging or giving lessons. Everybody loved you and always laughed when you would grab an orange cone and run around the arena shaking it. I know a lot of people thought I was crazy having you out there with me when I was judging, but that was just the way it was and most everbody understood and smiled or laughed at your antics and were maybe a little envious of what a unique friend I had. You never knew how may people told me that if anything ever happened to me that I was to will you to them. We put on a lot of miles and ate a lot of dust and loved every minute of it. I will never forget all our good times and our bad times we went through togther. During the good times you had a laugh on your face and twinkle in your eye. During the bad times your eyes hurt for the pain I was feeling and you would stay quietly close to me with your head close to my hand, your breath gently blowing on me. You kept me humble and you kept me smiling and you taught me that it was okay to love with all your heart in spite of the pain it might bring. The love always makes it worth it. Many of the times you and I had together and what we went through will remain deep inside my heart, only for you and I to share. The broken half of my heart goes with you so you can always carry our memories with you. Sweet beautiful Bailey Boof Dog, no one loved you more, depended on you more or needed you more than your momma. I can never express how much I will miss you, your sweet face, your warm body, your knowing eyes. I know the pain will dull with time but you will never be out of my thoughts or memories. Time can heal to an extent, but it can never take you away from me. I will always see and hear you in every sight and sound and in the whisper of every breeze, and remember when you were here to share it all with me. God blessed me when he sent you into my life and I thank him for that. And I thank you for gracing me with your love, devotion, and companionship and and am grateful that you chose to spend your time here on this earth with me. Your were, and always will be my angel and my best friend. You are now in a place with your long lost beloved doggie and horsie friends, free of pain, free of illness, free of the discomforts of getting old. I will see you again some day and feel your sweet breath on my face when I kiss your sweet spot on your forefead, your soft silky coat under my hand. You will never be alone, never, cold, never hungry, never hurting. Your momma is always there with you, hugging you, rubbing your itchy ears and loving you with all her heart. I love you and will miss you unbearably my bestest, sweetest, most handsomest Bailey Boof Dog in the whole world, my boy.

Your momma always

Ann Morgan

To my beautiful champagne colored cat Bailey.
Will miss you.

Judith McAloney

We love you Big Dog.
You will always be in our hearts.

Bill, Heather, and Trey Brady

It seems like just yesterday that we saw a little, golden-white ball of fur, crawling under the kennel fence to get to us. That was the day that we knew, you were ours and always would be in our hearts forever.
It is hard for me to believe that you have been gone for four years. Gone, but not forgotten.
Bailey, I have often said, there will never be a dog, quite like you. You were unique! You have given me some of the happiest memories of my life. I think of your unconditional love for us and that is how I try to mold myself in every day life.
I miss you so much, my beautiful Bailey, and I always will hold you in my heart and never let go.

Love, Mommy

I miss you Bailey.
We all loved you so much.
I will cherish the time spent with you forever.
You are, as always, my companion and friend.

Dayna Robertson

Bailey was just the greatest dog ever.
He never gave me a moment's heartache. I cannot imagine life without my beautiful Boo-Boo. I want to believe that he is still with me all the time - that I can still talk to him, sing to him, and share my secrets. Bailey dearest heart of mine, I will never stop loving you.
I want you to run and play and swim and have a wonderful time in Heaven.
Don't wait for me, but please baby, when I get there and call for you, please hear me and come running. May God bless and tend to my beautiful boy.

Mary C

In loving memory of bailey, a true friend and companion,
You will be missed dearly....our hearts are hurting but we know you are free of suffering..

We love you,
Mom, Dad, Tyler, Dylan,and samantha

My best friend, my companion...I miss him so much!
He was the best and most loyal friend any one would want..Loved his easy going manner, he loved everyone, and would let the kitties eat his food anytime.
Sadly missed by his Mom & kitty cats!

My Bailey was the shy little kitten cowering in the back of the cage when I adoted her 14 years ago. Over the years she became the queen of the household. She trusted only me, and clung to me since she became sick one year ago. Over the past year I took her everywhere with me. It just killed me to have to put her down, but she got so ill and weak and there were no more options. I am in agony without her. She was my baby....

Denise Campbell

Bailey Boy I miss you so much. You were such a loving, sweet dog. You gave so much love to our family. Your brother Cody misses you already and is lost without you. Our hearts are so sad. You will always be remembered. We weren't ready to let you go but your body was so weak and the Cancer was taking over. We couldn't allow you to suffer and more pain and it is with all our love that we knew we had to let you rest in Peace and be whole! May you be happy, healthy running in Heaven watching down on us. We love you and miss you!!!!!!!!!!

Vickie

Bailey, you were a great pet and friend, Missyroo and I will miss you terribly.

Debra Hogue

Our Bailey Dog....we got him at the SPCA, he had been abused horribly. He was "pet of the week" We gave him the best life. He looked like he always had a smile on his face. He was our first pet together. He loved to ride in the truck, "treat time" at night and loved his big ol belly rubbed. We miss him terribly

Dennis and Kerri Hughes

To our little "B".
We love you and miss you terribly.
We will see you again one day, and Daddy will have sausages ready for you...and we will kiss those worry-wrinkles on your little head.
We love you, little buddy....and always will!

Pam Kelly

Bailey was our special baby. He loved his tennis ball and would always greet you with it. You could hold him like a baby and he was so loveable. We miss him terribly.

Brian and Denise

Bailey was such a great cat.
He absolutely loved all of my daughters and put up with so much abuse from the little ones.
He was a great friend to all of us and Bubba and Buster (our two Pugs-Bubba passed away last year).
Bailey, you will be missed!
Give Bubba a hug for us!

Love always,

Marc, Angie, Abbey, Carissa, Lauren, Kate, and Buster

My little Bailey dog went to heaven today and with him, he took a piece of my heart.
He was my bestfriend who was with me through good times and bad.
I will never forget you Bailey--you were our alpha dog and will never be replaced:)
Your personality was one in a million.
I miss you so much and our home is not the same without you.
I know you are here in spirit and always will be.
Holding you as you left us today and feeling your little body go limp is something I will never forget.
Thank you for all you did for me and our family.
You will be missed more than you ever know!
I'll see you later Bay Bay;)
Love,
Mom

I miss my Best Friend! If loved could have saved his life, he would have lived forever.

Bailey was the most loving bunny a human could ask for.
He passed away suddenly and too soon for his family.
He has left behind a loving mother, father and extended family that will miss him deeply. My little Bailey Boy I will always carry you in my heart.

Bailey girl, thank you for eight wonderful years, full of laughter and white dog hair. I miss those expressive brown eyes and your hello at the door. I miss you beside my bed and your unwavering interest in food.
Bye sweetheart, see you when I get there.

Marion Schuller

Bailey - I miss you so much. I really loved coming home and seeing your adorable face. You had such a good sense of humor. I look forward to seeing you.

Lynne Aesy

Bailey was my neighbors dog. If he saw me outside in my yard he would come running with a ball in his mouth and his tail wagging. He was always so happy and just wanting share his Love. He enjoyed his ride to yhe restaurant in town with his "mama and daddy", waiting patiently in the "HIS" golf cart.His wait was often rewarded by other customers as they came out with a cup of Ice Cream, occasionally a few fries, or the last bite of a hot dog that was saved just for him. Everyone that knew him Loved him and will miss him. A few months ago we all noticed a small lump on his snout, as the cancer grew we were amazed the spirit and drive he continued to show. He finally had to leave us, but we all know he is waiting at Rainbow Bridge with a ball and a wagging tail. Our little town of Screven will miss Bailey Clary, but we are all a little better for having know Bailey.

Bailey,
My forever puppy.
You came into my life on Valentines Day 1994 (just 8 months after I got married).
You will forever be the best gift I ever received.
You were my constant companion when "Dad" left on long deployments, through military moves and two babies. With you, even in a new town with two small children I was never alone.
Your unconditional love and brown puppy eyes were my support, my grounding.
Now the babies are 10 and 7. Dad and I are settled in one place.
And for the last few years we all enjoyed being settled.
You most of all loved having your family together.
And now once again we must separate.
Only it is you time to deploy.
We all miss you so much.
From the start you were a part of the family.
There is a piece of my heart missing.
I only pray you are at peace and no longer in pain.
Your body is healed and you are able to love and play as you once did.
And know that we speak to you each night at prayers.
And know that one day I look forward to your puppy kisses again.
Bailey, you are loved.

Heather

Bailey was a very special boy.
His body gave out long before his spirit did.
Until his last moments, he just wanted to make us happy even if it hurt him.
He was the best dog in the world.
He never hurt anyone.
He had so much love to give and he will be missed so much.
We love you, Bailey.
You will be forever in our hearts.

Jessica

To have you in my life
When I look back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see your soul above the sky
In my heart, there always be a place for you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be

Kelsey and Deb

I just lost my baby boy. He was a wonderful dog. A puppy up to the end, even though he was 14. He was very loud, obnoxius and stubborn, but you just had to love some of the things he would do.

He was the Colorado Avalanche's (hockey team) greatest fan. Whenever they would score he would spin as fast as he could and try to catch his tail. At first we would say "spin, Bailey, spin", but it got to the point when he knew they scored by everyone yelling and he would just spin on his own.

He was my great protector. Always looked after me if someone had to come into the house. I would joke and say that I thought my Lab would protect me faster than our Doberman would if I were ever in any danger. He had that much love.

Bailey, you will be greatly missed. Your daddy and I love you with all our heart and will never forget you. It's just not the same without you buddy. The house is too quiet! I love you! I hope we will be together someday.

Rummy Tummy

Bailey,

You were my best friend and my constant companion.
Whenever I needed you, you were there.
Although it hurts (so bad!) not having you with me anymore, I am trying to take comfort in the knowledge you aren't having any more seizures and that you're no longer in pain.
I look forward to the day I'll see you running towards me (in that funny little hop-run of yours); I know that will be a day of sheer joy.
You showed me what unconditional love is; you literally saved my life and I will never, ever forget you or stop loving you.
I miss you, bay-boy.

love, your mommy Lauren

You were my loyal companion for 12 years; never far from my side until the very end. You made it through two major surgeries and took your medicines for various ailments without complaint. You are deeply missed, Bailey. Rest in peace.

Jenny

My Little Girl......I feel so lost without you.
I hardly remember my life before you came into it.
I am so lucky to have had you in my life for 13 years. I miss you so much.
I miss you following me from room to room just so you knew where I was at all times and how your tail would wag with excitement every time I came in the door even if I was only gone for a minute.
I miss your love, kisses and snuggles.
You taught me so much about unconditional love. A piece of me will forever be gone without you but I know in my heart we will always be together.
Daddy and Heather miss you so much too.
Who is Daddy going to tease and share his grapes with?
Heather misses her sister always keeping her company.
You have left your paw print on all of our hearts. It will never be the same without you. We will love and miss you forever and know we'll be together again.

Love Always, Mommy, Daddy and Heather

You were my best friend. I love you Boo Boo Bear!!!

Kathleen Ottina

Bailey was so special to me, he used to be by my side every day. When I worked on my computer he sat on the chair behind me, when I got up he got up. He would just stare at me. I miss my wonderful friend, Bailey was knocked down and died instantally and I still cannot believe he is gone I miss him more and more each day.
Sleep well my beautiful baby xxxx

Katz

Bailey...Bay Bay...the sweetest doggie...
You were such a HUGE dog, but never stopped thinking u were a puppy.

My Boyfriend, you would put your paws on each of my shoulders and lay your head on me...you always protected me when i was home alone, and never let a squirrel come in our yard when you were on "duty"!
I miss you Bay Bay, you were my baby 1st...

Bailey was dx'd with GME in November and after many tests and medicines, he just wasnt getting better.
Bailey passed peacefully, with a belly full of treats, and in my arms, on January 31st.

Maryanne

Bailey was the most loyal dog on this earth.
He was so loving and kind, and very loyal to his daddy.
He just loved to go on the long walks through the woods with his daddy and chase the squirrel and deer.
He will always remember the time his mommy saved his life from the frozen duck pond, during one of his many bird chases.
Bailey was the dog everyone wish they had. Our boy was so good with kids and people, most of the time he would run by someones pet just to see the owner.
The companionship he offered myself was priceless.
I had traveled most of his life but, when I returned from a road trip he could not be happier to welcome me home and couldn't wait for us to take that walk together to reunite, and for him to
show me what I have missed.
All is in all Bailey was my best friend. He will be truly missed.
I love you Bailey!!!!

Allison and Chad Wildman

Bailey was my first dog, we rescued her from an animal shelter when she was 6 months old. She turned out to be a handful of a dog, had her issues with other dogs and kids, but we loved and kept her even though we knew anyone else would have eventually given up on her. She was diagnosed with hip dysplasia when she was just a year old, and we never got the surgery for her because it just didn't seem to faze her. We knew one day we would have to make the decision to let her go, and it would be because of her hips - that turned out to be true. She was 13, and at her last checkup (about a year ago), the vet couldn't believe she was even walking her hips were so bad. I am happy that we did right by her by giving her the best diet and supplements - the vet said that was probably why she lasted as long as she did. I will try to only think that now she can run, run, run as long as she wants without hurting, and chase as many balls and squirrels as she wants, and she will never get tired or hurt. We love you Bailey and we already miss you terribly.

Sara

Bailey was a joy that was sent to us. I found him on a busy highway blinded by lights from oncoming traffic. I rescued him and he was a part of my life for 8 years. Eight wonderful years spent with my best friend that will never be forgotten. He is gone from my life, but we will have our joyous reunion one day in the future. Bailey, I know you hear me, and I love you so much.

Vickie Reed Gross

Rufus and Bailey - Best Friends Finally Back Together

The Jensen's

Bailey was a great cat, even though he didn't really like anyone but his mom and dad.
He slept by my head and purred me to sleep every night.
He sat with me to watch TV.
He loved to drink out of the shower and would meow until I opened the door after showering.
He loved to chase lights on the wall.
He will be sorely missed.

Jen

Bailey was the best friend I had. Although for most of her life I was just a child, as I got into my teenage years I appreciated her more and more. It is now after she has passed that I miss her companionship more than ever. I miss her greeting me at the door, I miss her wet nose and her tail that was always wagging. I miss talking to her and singing to her. Wherever she is now, I hope she is happy. I will never forget her.

Meredith

Bailey, we will never forget you. You became such a wonderful part of and addition to our family. You taught us about simple, unconditional love, companionship, and comfort. You will always be in our hearts.

Mom, Dad, Nicky and Joey

My precious Bailey was the most wonderful, faithful companion anyone could
ever hope to have in their lives. He was the reason to rush home from work every night. He would hear the garage open and would meet me at the door, tail wagging so happy to see me. Unconditional love and the light of my life.

Lynn

The best friend anyone could ever want-loyal,greatful,loving,caring-my GAL!

B Lewis

You were the dog at the pound that was on TV and needed a home.
You were the best friend a girl could have.
I was never lonely as long as you were here with me.
My heart is shattered and I miss you
more than words could ever express.
I just can't help feeling guilty having you put to sleep.
I know you were in pain and you are better off, but I want you here with me, because I miss you so.
You will never be forgotten

Jan Childers

LOVE YOU NOW AND FOREVER & A DAY

Bailey Booza our 11 year old Golden was fine on wed. night and when we awoke Thurs. morning found him in shock and confused.
We rushed him to the vet and he was bleeding into his stomach, they tried to save him, but found cancer tumors on his spleen and liver.
He was too weak and had to be put down.
We miss his sooooooo very much and even thought we have his 5 year old son, it woun't be the same around here for quite awhile.
Bailey followed my husband everywhere, and even though sometimes my husband would get mad that Bailey did that, now he misses his shadow being there. My 9 year old son and I are missing his too.
For all of you who have lost a pet-I understand and I hurt with you!
May god and pease help all of us through this time in our lives.

Jane

Bailey, I miss you so very much!
As I told you so many times, I love you dearly. I will think of you often and remember the fun and laughter you brought into my life. Madison & Max miss you too and send you love and kitty kisses.

I love you always, Bailey Jo

Mommy, Maddy and Maxey

For Fifteen and a half years, you have been and will always be the best dog in the whole world. We miss you so very much already. And we'll never ever forget you and all the joy you brought our little family. You will always be in our hearts and will never ever be forgotten. Mama's dog! We love you sooooooooooooooo much forever and ever.
All our love,
Mama, Daddy, Alison and Jack

My special little guy, you are dearly missed and will always be loved and in my heart.
I pray you are at peace and now cancer free.

Tanya

I miss him so much. He was a wonderful loving friend.

Julie

My sweet, sweet Boop.
I hope you are happy up there in heaven.
I hope you are running with that happy little face.
Wait for me.
We will be together again.
My perfect doggie.
My best friend.

Merlee

Bailey was the light of our life. He was always happy, loved everyone and never missed an opportunity to play.
He was only with us for a short time but he brought pure joy and love into our world. We will miss him everyday, we love you Bailey

Kim and Erik Butler

I love you Bailey, you were my best friend! I will never forget you. Thank you for all of the memories. I miss you so much!

Brittany Campbell

I miss you every minute of every day.
You were pure joy to me.
You took away the pain and gave me total happiness.
Your face in the window when I came home, your hot dog ball, chasing lizards and catching frogs.
I love you so much, Miss Bailes.
Everyone who knew you loved you.
There will never ever be anyone like you for me.
This house is empty. My heart and my life are both empty without you.
I can't wait to see you on the bridge and be with you forever.
Mommie

My Bailey was a special little hot dog.
She was blind since last year being diagnosed as a diabetic, but she got herself around.
She was a very strong girl...emotionally.
I miss her very much. She's now with her step sister Jade jumping and playing around waiting for the day that I can join them. Bailey is no longer in pain or suffering.
I loved her and I miss her.

Linda Clay

Daddy misses you so much. We will never forget you. You were on this earth such a short time, I hope this life is better for you.

John Corey

Our Bailey Dog went to heaven today.
She was recently diagnosed with a mass on her liver and cushing's disease.
She seemed to be doing fairly well considering everything she has been dealing with.
Bailey took a turn last night and it became clear that we would have to put her to sleep.
She passed peacefully in my arms as I sang her favorite song, "You are my Sunshine".
She will forever in our hearts be "Bailey by my side".

Thank you to all who knew and loved our girl.

Heather Miller

Bailey, My dear sweet, Siberian daughter.
You came to our home, scared, inquisitive, but loving.
You left your home here, happy, trusting, and very, very loved. You crossed the line from being a pet to being a Family member.
You kissed away our tears and taught us that dogs are not just animals but they are sometimes much more intelligent than humans.
If you could actually speak the English language perhaps humans wouldn't be so clueless.
Our hearts ache for having lost you but we know what's on the other side of Rainbow Bridge and we would never deny you the peace and beauty that you so deserve.
We will love you forever as we cherish the short time that you spent with us.
Be happy Bailey.....justme....momma, da and your 4 "human" sisters.

Miss you Bailey Boy.
Hope you were there to greet Puppy.
Hugs and Meaty Bones.

Mary-Kay Young

I still can't believe you are really gone. Your sister Princess misses you an aweful lot. We hear noises all the time and believe it is you still running around. Hope you are okay and have found Winky. Now you two can have each other until we all meet again. Remember that Mommy, Daddy and Princygirl will always love you! There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about you and Miss you. Bye for now Bay Bay, but not forever!

Dina Fowler

Bailey, my little “love bug”, I miss you so much. You were the heart of our home and the light that shined joy in our soul.
You won the hearts of all who met you with your irresistible charm, soulful eyes, and that precious wrinkled face.
You were always there with a nudge, a kiss, or snuggling by my side when I needed a friend.
You were, and will always be, my best friend.
Live free and happy and know that you’ll always be loved and remembered.
Some day, love bug, we will all be together again ………Mom

Daer Bailey,
Daddy and I love and miss you so much. You were the best dog ever. Our lives will never be the same without you. I hope oneday when it is my time to go you will be waiting in Heaven to see me. I love you and will NEVER stop!!
Love your mom and dad

The funniest dog ever.
She had a natural mohawk haircut, tried to speak with her funny bark, and loved to cuddle!

Lori King

Bailey Boo,
You were my best friend. I talked to you all the time, cause i knew you listened to everything. You were so important to me, things are lonely here with out you. I feel as if everyday when I come home and go downstairs you should be sitting on the couch like always, or in your special chair no one ever sat on, or that when I feed Bigkitty, that I have to watch out and make sure you don't eat his food (: Every time I see your empty food dishes or your old lead tie-up, I remember everything about you. I miss you sleeping in my bed at night, or chasing the moths in the backyard. The last couple nights, when I start to think of you I can't help but cry. You were my baby girl, and I would have given the world for you to get better. I miss you more than ever Bailey, and I can't wait till we see each other again. I've never believed in a religion or anything, but I hope to whatever is out there that when I die, I'll see you again. Bigkitty even misses you, I can tell. Things aren't the same without you; I'm sorry the last couple days of your life weren't the best and you didn't feel good, but now i know your pain and suffering is all gone and your a happy camper now. I love you snuvvy<3

Love always and forever,
Sam, Mom, Dad, Tyler, Dylan, and Bigkitty<3



My Bailey was the light of my life.
I got him and his sister almost 11 years ago.
He liked watching the birds outside the patio window.
God gave him to me almost 11 years ago and I was fortunate to have that blessing in my life.
He will be missed by his sister and me.

Kimberly Roberts

Bailey had epilepsy since he was a puppy.
I almost lost him at two years old.
He was in a seizure for 3 days.
The doctor had him sidated but didn't help him what-so-ever.
I pulled him out of there and brought him to another vet which was a God send.
He brought him back to good health in no time and put him on a continuous medication throughout his life.
His seizures were under control.
Then at 11 years old I noticed him coughing I didn't think anything of it so I let it go for a few days to see if it went away.
After a few days he started getting short of breath.
I immediately brought him to the vet to find out that he had a collapsing trachea(common in toy breeds).
That's when the cartilege rings around the trachea are very weak causing a collapse with his trachea causing some difficulty breathing. This is a progressive disease and medication was only a temperary fix.
He was good on the medication for about two years. We had him on a mixture of things including vitamins.
We had to put him on antibiotics off and on for upper respiratory infections.
The last year of his life was a hard one for us all.
Bailey had a hard time sleeping through the night because his trachea collapsed all the way down by his lungs and when he layed down it put pressure on his lungs.
His heart was enlarged because of all of the extra work it had to do which in turn being enlarged started pressing against the trachea.
Then one night he walked into the corner of our cabinet.
He couldn't see very well with the cateracs.
He had to go in for an emergency surgery.
Our vet couldn't do it because they were afraid that he wouldn't make it with all of his breathing problems.
They suggested we take him to Cornell University where they had all the tools to help him.
Cornell didn't think he would make it either, they called me after they gave him the anesthesia and said that his body was not responding very well to it. They didn't think he would make it.
At that time I was so upset that I made a deal with God, "please don't make him die alone and scared in a hospital with a bunch of strangers, if you have to take him, take him when he could die with family even if you have to take him a week from now".
I received a call two hours later that he made it through the surgery with flying colors.
We brought him home after 3 horrible days at Cornell(the staff at Cornell were wonderful by the way).
It was like Christmas, he was so happy that he was out of pain, he ran around like a puppy.
That didn't make all of his other problems go away though.
He was good all week until Saturday night.
We had a beautiful day here on Saturday, I brought him for a ride in the car just to go anywhere and then later all three of us took him for ice cream(one of his summer favorites).
Then that night he started having breathing problems and started coughing up a white discharge.
I just thought it was another one of his attacks and that it would pass with his cough medication.
He seemed to calm down so we went to sleep, the next morning he was at the counter begging for breakfast.
We thought he was okay.
I took a nap at about 5:00PM from no sleep the night before and when I woke up he was collapsing from lack of oxygen.
We rushed him to the emergency vet and they came back to tell us the bad news.
He had acquired instant pnemonia from his fluids backing up into his lungs.
He was suffering at this point and we thought that it wouldn't be fair to him to put him through another 100 tests.
The doctor wasn't very optimistic and thought if she went with further therapy that he would suffer through the night and pass away in a not so good way. We had to make the worst decision of our lives.
It was heartbreaking.
Three weeks later I'm still crying every day.

Bailey was a toy poodle, beautiful in every way.
He was a happy boy with so much love to give.
He loved to ride in the car, go for walks, and get his daily lick "n" crunch cookies.
There were many other things that he liked such as pressing up against our legs to rest after a long day.
He also loved when I cooked, he would always ask for little handouts-- carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and cantelope were his favorite.
Also, when I would cook oatmeal or homeade granola, he went nuts.
Something about the smell set him off--- he wouldn't let me rest until I gave him a taste in his bowl.
He loved his daddy very much he would wait at the top of the stairs and look out the window in hopes that he would come home soon.
He felt complete when we were both there.
Bailey also thought he was a hunter, he would chase rabbits through the yard(would never hurt one though) he just liked to play.
Bailey was very vocal, he didn't bark very much, but when he wanted something he would grunt for hours on end. That was another one of his cute habits.
He would also scratch on the carpet with his little paw.
He didn't want to be very obvious, but he did want to get his point across.

There was something very special about him something that you can't describe in words.
We love him very much and wait to meet up with him again someday.
He is very missed and will never be forgotten.
Thank you all for listening and please say a prayer for us and our best friend that he is safe and healthy and that someday we will meet again.

Renee

Oh how I will miss you my Big Bailey Girl!
I loved how you always stayed up at night until I went to bed.
I miss you every night lying bedside my bed on your dog bed.

We will always remember how you had to rub your scent on every pair of shoes that entered our house.

Of the three Shelties I had in my life time, you were the pretiest!
Perfect cropped ears and a full white color.
There will never be another Bailey Irish Cream!

Wait at the Bridge for me!

Ronda

Dear Bailey:
If you are reading this, Bailey, know there is so much more in my heart that I can't find the words to express.
But I have to try.
My oldest friend, you were always there for me.
You came into my life at a time I felt adrift in a new city, with work the only organizing principle in my life.
It's hard to remember a world without you.
I can only dimly see a lonely young man, waking up in the morning with only work on his mind.
I awoke, showered and dressed, caught the train downtown, worked for fourteen, maybe sixteen hours, arrived home exhausted, went to bed only to do it all again the next day.
Only in New York can you be with 8 million people and still feel terribly alone.
Then a lifelong yearning for a childhood memory I did not have came over me -- to have my own dog, my own best friend.
You were so shy and gentle when I first met you, cowering behind the breeder.
So small, so thin, sad even, but you peered around the breeder's leg looked up with hopeful eyes.
I knelt down and you slowly came out from behind, head bowed down, tail curled to your right, you pushed your furry little head right into the palm of my hand.
A perfect fit.

I took you home that night, and I sat vigil as you slept in your new bed in the old galley kitchen.
You didn't move from you bed the entire night as we stared at each other, and wondered what we had each gotten ourselves into.
When I woke the next morning, you hadn't moved, and had wet your bed.
Poor little boy!
You loved to play.
I still remember you chasing tennis balls around the apartment.
I remember taking you to the beach at Westhampton, throwing a tennis ball, and watching you sprint after to retrieve it.
I remember you running down to sniff the water as the tide ran out, but as it cam back in, you sprinted back up the beach to avoid getting wet.
So silly.
Everyone loved you.
Walking with mom and dad down to 81st and Broadway to go to French Roast for brunch, you attracted a crowd on the street corner.
There must have been 10 maybe 15 people trying to meet you.
You were beautiful and handsome, but your personality is what shined through.
You were so strangely human.
You loved you little lake in Central Park.
We walked around it nearly every morning and spent lots of time there on the weekends.
When we moved to the Village, you were so happy.
We walked everywhere together.
You came with me to work.
Do you remember playing with Sophie on the weekends at Paul Weiss?
She was a rambunctious Boston Terrier.
I still remember the two of you playing together in the halls, while Sophie's mom and I worried that we would be caught for bring them into the office.
(Who left that little puddle in Hammerman's office?)
We were together on September 11.
We were taking our morning walk on that crisp fall morning, a beautiful day, and someone told me that a small aircraft had flown into the World Trade Centers.
I brought you back up stairs and went myself to the roof.
The buildings collapsed one after the other.
People said as many as 50,000 people had died in those few seconds.
I ran back downstairs to the apartment after that.
You were hiding under the bed, the noise of the collapse must have scared you half to death.
I stood their hugging you reciting Kaddish through tears.
In the hours and days afterwards, we walked the empty streets.
We hung out in Washington Square Park, where people spontaneously congregated.
We weaved through them aimlessly, people singing songs about peace and love despite the horrible attack that had taken place just two miles away.
The smoldering ashes and smoke seemed to rise over the buildings for weeks after that.

I remember worrying the air was poisoned as you sneezed and coughed along with me.
As time went on and I switched jobs, you were my pride and joy.
You greeted everyone who visited, and occasionally had surprises like a pile of boxers at the door when I came home with a date.
People loved you.
And then mommy came into our lives.
Do you remember?
You weren't so sure about us at first.
All of the sudden, daddy had his attention elsewhere.
For the first time really in our lives together.
But even though you were lukewarm about the whole thing, you made it all possible.
Daddy said some stupid things to mommy one night, and she got up in the middle of the night and was prepared to leave forever.
But you put aside your loss of a monopoly on Dad's love, and you made things right.
As Mommy packed her bag, you walked over and put your head in Mommy's hands -- the same way you did when we first met.
Mommy started talking really nicely to you.
And that made mommy want to come back -- even though Daddy had been a jerk.
Mommy took care of you when I went away just a few weeks later.
She was so good to you and you came to love her so much.
And so, even though you occasionally got mad because you were left home when mommy and daddy went out (I seem to recall a much whiter couch), you welcomed mommy into our lives.
And mommy made us better people for it.
We had so much fun together, our little family!
You were our pride and joy.
Understandably, you came to love Mommy so much.
You were the apple of her eye and you were inseparable.
You wanted to be walked only by mommy.
You wanted to be pet only by mommy.
Who could blame you?
And you wrote her such nice cards every birthday and holiday.
Mommy was so proud of you!
Mommy and I got married and you finally had a proper mother.
Not long after, we had another addition to our family - Eliot.
You weren't really sure what to do about Eliot.
For the most part, you ignored him and pretended he wasn't there.
But you were a good sport and Eliot made you young again.
He kept you moving and my little plump boy became svelte.
We moved out of the city a while later, and my little city boy tried to become a country boy.
You seemed so happy!
And then one night you got sick.
Mommy saved you.
We ran to the hospital at 4 AM just before Christmas.
We thought we were going to lose you that night.
I remember seeing you in there with a tube coming out of your arm.
So sad, I could never face losing you.
But you were so strong.
You pulled through and lived for us.
We loved you for it.
Over the next year or so, I worried about you all the time.
You were so good about taking your medicine.
I couldn't even tell you were sick, you ran up and down the stairs like a lunatic.
But every time you coughed, it broke my heart.
I knew we could lose you any day.
I knew what it meant.
I tried to make our moments count together.
I hugged you, kissed you, played with you.
The medicine made you so uncomfortable at times.
I wish I could have done more to make you more comfortable.
As the months passed, I began to feel hope.
Maybe the doctor was wrong.
Six months seemed to short for a dog so full of love and energy.
I tried to make sure you knew I loved you, hoping that love would help you get better.
But you had a fighting spirit, and you weren't going to let go that easily.
You were here for another round of birthdays, of Christmas, of Passover, of Hanukah, of Easter.
You made mommy and daddy so proud and happy.
And then you made a special friend -- Uncle Dennis.
Even in the sunset of your life, you were still looking to share your love.
Dennis loved you like a brother.
I was so happy the two of you got to know each other.
But even a strong puppy like you couldn't hold out forever.
You tried so hard, your cough got worse, but you still smiled at us and loved us.
You could still climb stairs and run around, but your caught got shallower and shallower, and your heartbeat got louder and louder.
And then a cold Sunday came and you had to go.
Poor Dennis found you.
He wrapped you, a towel for comfort, a sheet for warmth.
I saw you only hours later, so small and fragile, lying peacefully, eyes somehow still full of hope.
Was it hope in the next world I saw in your lifeless eyes?

Mommy and I will miss you always.
Love,
Daddy.

First I would like to thank you all for reading this, It truly doesn't help me to write, but I feel that I need to say a few things and obviously Darrell did the same. I was going to take the time today to write something about Bailey, to let you all maybe understand how hard these last two days have been for Darrell & I, but then I saw Darrell already said so much of what I want you all to know but I do have a few things I would like to add.

Bailey was a dog yes, I understand that, but she was my child. I can't have children; Bailey helped to fill that void in my life. She taught me so much about life. The loyalty from her is irreplaceable. I stand at home now and feel numb. I feel like I lost my best friend, the one I could count on to just listen to me. Her fur caught so many of my tears over the years. I love her with more than I can tell you. I loved her too much to let her suffer and that she was doing after yesterday. I could not allow such a faithful friend to struggle to hold herself up. I love her too much.

Again I understand some people may say "hey, It's a dog" But that is where you are wrong. To me she was my love, my heart, my child, my soul, a grand daughter, a sister, a niece...She was everything to me.

Below is what Darrell had to write about Bailey..

Some of you may already know, but for those that don't we lost Bailey yesterday. She had a stroke and we had to make the toughest choice of our lives, but it was the right choice.

She made our lives better, she was a daily part of our lives and it is going to be very hard to move on without her. For some that is hard to understand, but to us she was our daughter. It was on Kristi's birthday, October 23, 1999 that we found Bailey, or should I say she found us. She was running across Main Street in Palmyra, I stopped traffic and took her into our backyard. We posted signs for a little while and nobody claimed her so we kept her. Almost nine years later, after fighting heart disease and just getting old and tired her body finally gave up. She stayed as long as she could and we know she did it for us.

There is and never will be a better dog in this world, she is irreplaceable. She used to open her own Christmas presents, play all day long, and go nuts when I would come home. Even after she stopped having the energy to jump around you could always tell she was happy to see you. I just hope that she was as happy with us as we were with her. I am writing with tears in my eyes, and many do not understand why, but like I said she was our child.

Bailey, we love you and will miss you every day, you are a good girl and will always be a good girl. I hope you are comfortable now and that you are as energetic and playful as you were when you first came to us. We will keep your toys out in case you want to play with them...

We love you Roo...

Love Mommy & Daddy



Gone but not forgotten.

My precious Bailey, I will truly miss you.
You were my baby girl in a house surrounded by tough boys.
You never missed the moment to meet me by the door; always ready with a present in your mouth for me….whatever you could put in your mouth it didn’t matter it was your offering to me.
Wagging your tail in glee each time you saw me all to say “hi mommy I missed you”.
You were too young to leave us, but in so much pain.
I know you are no longer suffering but I truly wonder how I will enter the house anymore without crying because I miss you so much.
Little Grayson asked if I was with you when God came down to get you and I said I was.
I will always cherish the times we had and I want you to know how difficult it was to say good-bye to you today.
I love you.
Now little princess you go and you play with your friends and eat lots of popcorn until we are together again!

Lori Schroeder

The one year anniversary of your passing was so hard, everything seemed the same, there was a storm outside, the same storm that occurred the night you died, it was very somber. They say not to think of the past because it'll only bring sorrow but I can't help it, I miss you still so much and love you even more. I can only imagine where you are and what you are seeing, hearing and feeling in Heaven.

I am so grateful that God gave you to me and you were part of my life. Seven years may not be a long time but I will remember you forever and I'll miss you forever. You were my best friend and my little love.

You were such an amazing little boy and you'll never be replaced. You'll always be in my heart and I hope and pray that you'll be waiting for me when my time comes. I can't wait to see you again, I have faith that I will.

I know you are being taken care of where you are and are not sad, and I couldn't ask for a better care giver!!

I love you Mee Moe, I'll always miss you and love you baby xoxoxo

Kelli Ann

Sweet little Bailey-my first baby. I will love and remember you always.
Love,
Mommy

Bailey was truly an angel to me I feel if it was not for him only God knows where I would be..Sept of '01 I was told I would never have children, I had tried for so many years this news was devestating to me..My family thought it would be a good idea to get me a dog, I have always been an animal lover so they knew that this would help heal my broken heart..Late one evening after I got home from work my parent's called and ask me to come to their house they needed to speak with me..As I entered the front door at their house I heard this little bark and turned and saw this tiny little pup running towards me, it was love at first sight..They knew I always wanted a mini schnauzer and there he was perfect as ever, over the years he became part of my family and like a child to me, he was so smart and human like especially his eyes, I could look into them and just know what he was thinking, he was an amazing dog not to mention best friend..Bailey and I went through alot together but little did I know Bailey was going to have a tough time ahead of him..In Dec of '07 Bailey started having strange symptoms, vomiting, sleeping alot, and he acted almost as if he was depressed..I always kept up with his visits to the vet he was always well taken care of..So, I decided to take him back and have them run tests I knew something was not right I could just feel it and see it in his eyes, after all the test results came back good we were just waiting on his blood results, I will never forget that phone call, his Dr told me that Bailey's levels were not good and his blood tests revealed that he most likely was having kidney problems, that very next day we were back to the vets for more blood work then again to wait, the next day it was revealed to us "yes" he has kidney issues and that we needed to have him hospitalized asap, my heart was breaking how could this be? The next morning I had to leave him at the hospital, first time we had been away from one another ever, I went and visited him every day until his b.u.n was in a safe range, with I.v fluids they had gotten them down to 72 so we thought his body would pick up where they left off and things would be ok for now..that was not the case, within a month he was back in the hospital on I.v fluids again his b.u.n was 110..he had to stay 5 days and his levels dropped to 81..We had to start subcataneous fluids at home, he was on a special diet and vitamins, only filtered water, and several trips to the vets for the first couple weeks, after all that Bailey seemed to be happy and having a good quality life, he would have days that he seemed a little more tired than others but that was it..On Sept. 27th I woke and as I always do scooped him up from behind my legs (where he would always lay and sleep) and gave him his morning lovins', he was fine, but he seemed tired so I let him sleep, I would go in and check on him and love on him while I was doing chores around the house..Around noon I went in and something was not right I picked him up and it appeared to me he was having some type of seizure, I immediately rushed him to his Dr., when I arrived they were waiting and gave me the news I never expected or wanted to hear, Bailey's kidneys had shut down and his body was also..I had to make the decision to have him put to sleep, something I hoped never to be faced with..There was NO way I would let him suffer or be in pain he deserved better than that and his Dr told me I and they had done all they could do that it was just his time..As I sit there and held him as the life left his body I have never experienced such pain and sadness in all my life, how would I make it without him? That void and emptiness in my heart had returned and this time I feel as if nothing can fix it..I am releived he is no longer in pain or having to cope with his illness on a daily basis but I just wished I could explain that to my heart..He was a wonderful dog and I miss and love him dearly I wished things would just have been different for my best friend!!

Christy Evans

To my handsome "Prince", I miss you so much!!
You were the best Basset a person could wish for!
We love you so much and know that you are now living it up across the Rainbow Bridge. Even Izzie Boo misses you...hahaha.
I love you big hound, and I'll see you later!!

Andrea Smith

It's still so hard to believe that you're gone.
Even though I only had you in my life for a short time, you brought me complete joy and happiness.
I miss you so much my little Bailey boy and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and shed a tear.
Sometimes I can still feel you sleeping on my head at night or I think I hear you little dog bone on your collar rattling. Sometimes I even get a smell your special scent. I feel so terrible that you had to suffer and no one else seemed to care.
It breaks my heart that there are people in this world who are more concerned with trying to make the most money instead of doing the right thing.
I'm sorry Bay for all that you had to go through....you were not only my pet, you were also my companion and my best friend.
When I could depend on no one else, I could always depend on you to be waiting for me to come home so you could kiss away any of the bad things that had happened that day.
Seeing you when I came home everday and how excited you always were to see me was the highlight of my day.
You will be forever missed but never forgotten....I'll love you forever and a day Bailey boy and I will miss you until the day we meet on the rainbow bridge!

Love,
Mommy

Bailey fought many health problems over the last couple of years. Diabetes,early renal failure, blindness and addisons disease. Nothing seemed to set her back,
she was until the very end a loving and faithful companion.
She developed a skin infection very quickly and there was nothing you could do that would not have seemed like punishing the sweet girl.
It was at 12:30 that I decided she needed to make the trip to the Rainbow Bridge.
At 2:30 I held her in my arms as my vet put her to sleep.
It wasn't hard to do,
I owed her that for being the friend she was to me.
She now rests peacefully in out backyard where we are establishing a memorial garden for her.
Gone but not forgotten,
she will live on in my heart forever.
I think when she left a piece of me went with her.
There is an emptiness that is so hard to explain.

Desirae Van Roekel

My Bailey was sweetest, kindest, loving dog anyone could have.
She loved everyone but was a little tiger when a Big dog was around. She was also fun and made me laugh - a perfect companion.
She will be sorely missed but kept safe and warm in my heart forever.
She is now at Rainbow Bridge with my other pets Tasha and Casey and I know she is happy and pain free.
Rest well my baby girl until we meet again at the Bridge.

Robin Duffy

Bailley was the puppy that refused to grow up.
She had a zeal for life.
Her motto was "Live, laugh, love."

She lived life to the fullest.
She always had a bounce to her step.
She was an energetic soul

Bailley was loved my many and is missed by all.
May her lasting impressions be a tribute to her character.

Betheny Laubenthal

Baire our 15 year old kitty had to be returned to heaven this morning. He fought a brave battle against sinus cancer but in the end it was to much for him. It's beautiful and sunny today here in Washington - a fitting day for graduation and a new set of wings. You were a brave boy, and took wonderful care of your Pop.
No one could ask for a better little friend. Boe & Damn Dog were asked to meet you at the bridge.
They said they would greet you with a big purr and a soft gentle bark.
Hugs and pets Little Baire Baire All of my love, the Momma Kitty

We got Bak about 2 years ago and quickly realized how special he truly was. Bak had a mind of his own and let everyone know it. We believe Bak had never been given the TLC he craved and therefore, tended to have some bonding issues with people. Even though his attitude was not always the best and he wasn't the most loving dog, we did have a special bond with him. Unfortunately Bak turned out to be older than we thought and his health rapidly declined in the past week. He loved nothing more than to get in his swimming pool and carry his Kong ball around. He was an exceptional dog right up until the end and we will never forget our Bak Dog.

Sarah & Michael

Our SPECIAL boy!

Bonnie & Leo

Baloo was my best friend and the best thing that ever happen to me, loosing him was the worst. I have spent the last year learning to live in a strange new world, a world that doesn't feel right without him. Thank you Baloo, for giving me the best years of my life. Today, I celebrate our friendship and hope and pray that you are having a wonderful time as you patiently wait for me at Rainbow Bridge. I love you with all my heart and soul... thank you xxx

Sammie Luck

My beloved boy,

I grieve for you so hard right now.
I am missing you terribly....the house is not the same without you...I understand that you are in a better place but I'm having a hard time letting you go.
Thank you, my beloved boy, for allowing us to care for you and share your love and life.
You were the best boy we could have ever asked for and I hope with all my heart that you know this and are so happy and chasing your ball and playing and having fun.
No more pain or discomfort....we love you.
We miss you.

Patricia

To our beautiful big black gentle bear, we had you for such a short time and you gave us such love.
We shall all miss your slobbery kisses and your big feet.
In spite of all your pain you still kept going until you just couldnt breath properly and we had to send you to Rainbow Bridge to be with Keno, Kassi and Rufus.
God Bless, sleep tight out lovely bear until we meet again.,

Anne Coates

Please pray for my lil girl Balu who was taken from me because of cancer..She has been with me for 13 almost 14 years and she has been my best friend for all of them..No dog or pet could ever be more loyal then she..She was my lil Angel and will be missed forever..Rest in peace Balu..Daddy loves you

Bam, my sweet, innocent baby, oh how short your life was.
We always think of you, and your brother is doing just fine.
I can't describe how much I long to see you again, please meet me in my dreams again.
And I'll become a vet to find a cure for the disease you had, just like I promised.

I miss you Bam.

Tara

Bam Bam we miss you so very much. You gave us such joy in our lives . I am so sad to live without you. The house is not the same. I love you more than words can express..I know your with Pebbles and Bedrock and you are all happy and healthy again. I am grateful that I shared a life with all three of you.

Jacky Borriello

Bamster:

What a great family member you have been. You have given us unconditional love, no matter what. You loved us all equally, even Mimi, who's not a fan of dogs. She loved you. My father is heartbroken and inconsolable. My brother misses you. Mom refuses to mop the floor because your pawprints are still there. We anxiously await a visit from you, and pray that God will allow you to return to let us know you are ok. I loved you from the first moment I saw you, and I'll love you forever. I'm only sorry I wasn't there for you at the end. My heart is missing a piece, my faithful friend.
I can't wait to see you again....
Love,

Little blonde girl

I will miss you always and forever my best friend. You helped me through sorrows and happy times . I will never forget the part of my life I shared with you . Peace and happiness .

Michele

Today is one of the hardest days of my life.
You were suffering, and I couldn't take it anymore, and I don't think you could either,
even though you tried so hard.
You knew how much I would miss you.
But you couldn't stand by yourself anymore,and stopped eating,
and looked so sad. I'm sure that the cancer had spread to all parts of your body.

Everyone said that it was the kindest thing to do... but that doesn't make it any easier.
You were a special dog... that ever wagging tail (until the last 4 months), your love of people, and especially, your love for me.
I couldn't take a step, without you being there.
You would go looking all through the house, until you found me.

I'm sure that you are happy with MeeMaw and PawPaw,and PawPaw feeding you vanilla wafers, like he used to do years ago.
I will love you forever, and will never, never forget you.

Linda and Bill

Our Bambino of 20 years,who had/ has such wisdom,that he is the model presidental candidate.

I KNOW THAT HE IS LONELY. HE IS SLEEPING IN MY BED ROOM NOW. BUT HE CAN NEVER TAKE YOUR PLACE. YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHT OFFEN. I LOVE BANDIT I WILL WRITE TO YOU AGAIN SOON.
LOVE MOM

Bandit was a sweet girl.
She had great big paws for her breed, and would not hesitate to swat your leg when she wanted some attention.
She was too short to jump on the bed, but loved being up there and generally had to be dragged off because she was so comfy. (She once stayed there all day when we accidentally left her & went to work!)

Bandit got acutely ill and left us quickly.
She is dearly missed.
We love you, Bandit Girly.

Mike & Mary Fenlon, and Her Pal, Smokey

To my Bubba whom I miss quite dearly. I had you as my companion for so many years and you made me smile many times. I know you were old and God knows what he does. I know you are in a better place and your bones don't hurt anymore. I know we will be together again one day and we'll be able to run through the green pastures in heaven. Take care my little buddy and know that I love you and will never forget you.

Love your worldly mommy and daddy,

Olga & Cheo

Bandit (my baby, my love) I miss you so much it has been 7 months since you crossed over, but feel's like a life time. life is very hard for me with out you even though we still have Toby I do love him.But "Bandit" you were the one that has my heart. we will be together some day and I know that you are with my dad.

I love you my Bandit
your mommy

Bandit was a special, smart, beautiful boy, who always brought a smile to everyone's face. He was my brithday present, and he was so, so special. I love him so much and it will take a long time for me to get over him. He was clipped by a car, and died instantly. We will miss him so much, my little Bandy boy.

Olivia

I love you - see you at Rainbow Bridge

Dorothy

Bandit, mommy misses you more than you can know. I hope you like the memorial tattoo of you that I got. Have fun with Lex and Ace! Someday we will see each other again!

Ann

Our hearts are broken over the death of our beloved dog, Bandit.
He was a member of our family for nearly 14 years, as he grew up alongside our children.
He suffered from complications of diabetes for the past 6 years, but today he runs free again, like the perky pup we once knew. We miss him so much already, but we have faith that he will be cared for by our family members in heaven until we join him & them ourselves.

Rick, Joyce, Brittany & Aubrey

To my best friend whom I miss so much.
I miss you when I go to sleep because you are not by my side; I miss you when I feed your buddies because your place is empty; mostly I hurt so badly when I return home from work because you are not in the window waiting for me.
You were my true companion and loved me more than any pet or human ever has.
My life will not be the same without you.
I love you, Bandit, and will always miss you.

Nancy Murphy

My beloved Bandit,my companion for over 18-1/2 years traveled many miles with me, what a trooper. I said good-bye to him only two days ago and am so lost without him. An aggressive form of basal cell carcinoma was diagnosed a month ago and rapidly over took the lymph node. It was a bittersweet experience of trying to celebrate his life while saying goodbye. His eyes told me it was time to let him go. A painful decision, but a gentle and peaceful passing as I held his head.
The last day was special as I allowed him complete freedom, followed him through the yard while he explored and listened to the birds. Lots of pictures, lots of kisses.
I'll always love you Bandit, your spirit lives.
I miss you and await the return of your ashes.
Momma

I love you my Bandit my friend
I will miss you dearly
til we are together again
I will always love you to the end of my time
as that will be when we are together in
GOD'S TIME.

Rose and John Holliday

In loving memory of my sweet baby boy Bandit that had to leave me for now due to cancer. You lived with it for a long time, but you were starting to suffer and I didn't want you to do that. You were and still are my best friend. Please know that was the hardest decision that I have ever made in my life. I love you and miss you more than words could ever describe. You are with Simone now so you stay close to her until I come to get you again baby boy. God Speed Bandi Boop, mama loves you and you will remain with me in my heart forever.

A wonderful friend to our entire family. To call him a pet is a huge understatement. He helped raise our 3 kids and always protected them, usually from themselves. He will forever be missed by us.

Love Ya Shag Dog.

Patricia Russell

Bandit was found in a tree stump with his brother as a kitten. I brought him home to be an outside cat on our farmette.
For 2 years, he became a constant friend to our 2 children, following them around outside, meeting them off the school bus and watching over them while they played. When we moved, we brought him along and he became a house cat, along with our 2 cats, Caesar and Tilly.
Bandit was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in May that was inoperable, and we had to have him put to sleep a few months after.
In the short time he was with us, he became the center of our family.
Caeser was put to sleep 2 years ago, and Tilly is now our only cat.
She is an active, long-hair Calico, now 15 1/2 yrs old.
Our house has become more quiet, as Bandit was always making his presence known at dinner time, or anytime there was something going on in the kitchen.
We allowed him to go outside when we were outside with him, and he was very fair about dividing his time between our kids, Cammie (12yrs) and Payton (10yrs).
My husband Mark had become especially attached to Bandit these past few years, and he was the one to be with Bandit that last time at the vet.
Bandit is now buried under Cammie's dogwood tree, overlooking our yard and house, and creek and train tracks behind.
This black and white cat, who never snuggled or curled up on your lap, who was very vocal about what he wanted, wormed his way into our hearts, and will be forever missed.

Angie Baker

Bandit,

Thanks for the many, many miles of walks and talks.
Thanks, too, for always keeping us safe.
Your beautiful and heroic spirit will always be remembered.
Rare is the dog who loved to live and fought as hard to live as you did.
I will love you always.

Mom

Bandit we are so lucky to have known you. You were such a gentle soul and have taught us about love and forgiveness. We are
better people for having known you and you will be in our hearts forever.
You will also be missed by Abby, Harley, and Lucky. We will love you always.

love

Marianne(mommy), Robert, and Andrew Duquette



Bandit was the best friend anyone could have. Always at my side and so happy to see me when I'd come home. I love you and will miss you so much.

Rita Pechota

Little Pal, you kept everyone in line and could not contain yourself when we all went in different directions, that was your need to control everything. We will always miss your noise, your messy ways and your big brown eyes that could look so sad when you knew you were in trouble. Meet up with CJ who left a little before you and keep each other company. WE love and miss you so already.

Skip Willis and Ed Hardcastle

My Best Friend Bandit
I will always remember and never forget you
you will always hold a special place in my heart

Diane Boden

It's been a Three years since we parted but your memory is still fresh in our minds. We remember that special meow that you had when you were hunting for us and leaving your prizes in the hallway or in the bed for us. We will never forget the day you managed to get that heavy trowel out that box on top of the bed and onto the floor. You might have been small but you were strong and smart. You were that caregiver of Odie and Smokey, watching after them, smuggling with them. We loved how you use to hid under the covers or under a pillow and you blended in so well that we couldn’t even see you. Sometimes we can still hear you in the house roaming and playing. We will always miss you and like the Rainbow poem says, we will meet again and happiness will again fill our hearts! Thank you for accepting Odie like you did, you were a loving companion to him and you were always trying to bridge that gap between Odie and Smokey.We still can’t bring ourselves to get another companion our hearts have not healed yet, not sure they ever will.

Mike & Linda Peters

A very special little girl, she is missed and will always be. She is no longer in pain and hopefully has crosed the rainbow bridge.

Denise

Bandit was our sable Mac Daddy. He lived for a year at a Petco with his brother Angel.

Like with his brother, it was love at first sight. We took them home to live with our first fuzzy, Neo.

Bandit crossed over the rainbow bridge March 3, 2008. He had been ill since Christmas and had several surgeries. He was a fighter and held on for a long time, but it just got to be too much for him and he let us know it was time. We just weren't expecting it so soon.

I guess we never do, but we were relieved for him to be released from his pain and sickness. He was also a free and gentle spirit, a loving baby who gave tons of kisses, a true Mac Daddy with the baby girls, and loved to play "lick, lick, chomp!" and playing with his family.

We miss him and are happy that he is healthy and bouncing again, playing with his brother Angel, who crossed the bridge May 2, 2007.

We know we'll see our Banditbean again some day. We love you, Bandit!

Karen and John

You were such a wonderful companion.
We will miss you terribly.
You came into our hearts, 9 years ago, running down the road.
You came into our home and were so dedicated to us.
You are our "Big Dog".
You have forever changed our lives, we love you so much.
Until we meet again, keep the perimeter safe up there.

My little blue eyed boy, was only with me for a very short while, but he had dug his little claws very deeply in my soul. He was one in a million,But I had to let him go, his suffering i could not bare but thankfully only short, hes missed so much by me and his best friend Smudge the dog. who is still hoping when he cocks his ear, to here tiny foots on the landing, but alas its not to be. Until we meet again, run free be happy Godbless you eternal love Mum xx

The sweetest dog that ever was.. my heart is broken.

HEY BANDIT AND LADY IM SO SORRY THEY PUT YOU TWO TO SLEEP OR SHOT YOU ONE I DONT KNOW WHICH. YOU WAS GRANNYS DOGS BUT IM SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS AND HOPE YOUR HAPPY AND IN A BETTER PLACE. LOVE GUYS MARY

Bandit died from a tragic accident.
He was a blessing sent by God that won my heart with unconditional love, and filled my life with laughter at his antics.
I am honored the he chose me to be a part of his life.
The void left by his passing is immense. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Carolyn Guscott

She was the sweetest cat anyone could ask for and we love her so much.

Lisa Johnson

We got Bandit when he was 2 years old from a family who decided that they didn't have time to spend with him.
(Anyone who has had a Keeshond knows that they do like a lot of attention!)
He was almost the incarnation (physically) of our first Keeshond, Teddy, and we knew we were his forever family from the start.
He was a loving and important part of our family and such a good boy.
My husband, my two stepkids and his "furry brother" Dexter miss and love him very much.

Sue & Jim Moss

Bandit was a unique cat.
He was only 5 years old. He loved to drink water from a Dixie Cup.
Every morning he would watch us ready for our day and greet us each evening.
He would greet you with a loving bite on your nose.
He loved to play and would walk with us in the yard and keep us company.
He loved to help make the bed.
He was taken from us too early and we will miss him dearly.

Gary & Carole

It has been almost a year, but we still miss our little guy so much. Big brother Neo misses you too. We love you Bandit. Please wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge and we will all be together again. You will be able to hear us and see us much better then.
Love Mom, Dad & Neo

Bandit, I wanted to end the pain you suffered everyday but I did not want it to be the end of you.
I am so sorry I lost this fight for you.
I love you and I hope you will forgive me.

Patricia Theriault

Bandy,

You're the best.

We will always love you,
mommy and daddy

Bandit was the love and light of my life.
My world without him is empty and sad. His life was taken too soon-he had just turned 9. I only hope that he is in a place where his eyesight is returned and the Cushing's disease and cancer are gone.
I hope he can just run through the grass and take naps in it just as he loved to do.
I will always love you.
Love, MaMa

Bandit was my husband and my first Basset Hound, and he was perfect. Loving, happy, loyal... the only thing wrong with out Bandit was that he stole our hearts... and he was born with a heart defect (which we did not know until a month before his death).

Bandit loved hit little brother, another Basset Hound named Copper, and taught him how to be a hound. He loved his daddy, and watched over his mommy while daddy was fighting on his third tour as an Infantryman in Iraq with the Marine Corps. We found out about Bandit's condition two months after my husband left for Iraq, but were assured by the vets that Bandit would live a happy life until my husband returned home.

The on October 22nd I was evacuated from my home close to Camp Pendleton CA because of the California firestorms. I packed up all the possessions I could fit in our truck and the two hounds and found refuge at a camp site on the beaches of Camp Pendleton with eight other friends. We got four cars into the RV slot, and set up to live there until we were allowed to return home. Bandit had been losing weight since his diagnosis, but had been happy and like normal until the day after we were evacuated.

On October 23rd 2007 I woke up and let the hounds out of their kennel. Bandit went straight under the truck and would not come out. I looked under and there he was, his head shaking, looking at me like "I'm ok Mommy", but I knew he wasn't. I took him to the vet knowing probably the best thing to do would be to put him down so he wouldn't suffer anymore. It was one of the hardest days of my life, especially because I know Bandit wanted to make it until his daddy came home.

Thankfully Copper and I made back to our home on October 27th to find everything made it through the fire. Then on February 12th 2008 my husband made it home safe from Iraq. We miss Bandit, but know we gave him the best life he could have had and that his is watching over us. We will always love him.

Sarah Syvrud

Bandito is my heart. I love Bandito. I will always love Bandito. I miss Bandito. I look forward to being with Bandito again.

Dear Mom and Dad and Gramma,

I just started my journey last night but here I am... right where I am supposed to be. I can still feel your hands on my paw. I knew it was you all along even though my eyes were shut....my heart was open.

I was really scared at first and I was so tired. I thought it would be such a long ride to heaven because you always told me I would get there someday and I figured someday must be a long, long way away but when I opened my eyes...I was already there.

It was warm and sunny and I could see endless miles of many tall, oak trees. I could see rabbits and squirrels and big raccoons and they were all walking toward me. They didn't look scared of me and I didn't really want to chase them but maybe tomorrow I will...cause I know I'm supposed to.

There was a beautiful man with a kind face waiting for me when I walked through some pretty fluffy clouds and he had on long white robe.

I didn't think I knew Him until he smiled at me and bent down on one knee. He was holding the biggest doggie bone I had ever seen in my whole life and when I wagged my tail He reached over and scratched me behind my ears

It was the best feeling I ever had it feel like hot Florida sun but cool Watseka shade. It was wet but dry like my nose sometimes but it felt so good.

I forgot all about that big ole' doggie bone when He picked me up in His strong arms. It was such a warm, fuzzy, beautiful feeling

He held me for so long and told me that you would be here someday and I knew someday now... was not so far away in Heavens days.

I feel good here...and I think I see a newspaper over there under a shady oak tree...right next to a huge tennis ball

I wonder who put it there...?

Maybe I can find someone to throw that ball so I can chase it in Heaven...hey didn't you say Heaven was where everyone we lose goes and someday we would see them again...?

Does that mean Uncle Mike and Max and Widget are here too? Oh my goodness! My dog hairs are flying off everywhere and the man in the white robe says "its okay Banjo!" They can fall down all over heaven

sorry mom and dad, I gotta go now....there's so much to do so many doggie bones to eat..so many papers to get... is that a mail truck!...oh my goodness is that a pool?

wait...wait...I wonder if I can get Uncle Mikey to scratch my bellie!

love your little girl banjo

Barb was a VERY good dog. I will miss her forever. I know one day we will meet again. I love you Barbie

Bobi

Barclay you will always be my special bichon baby boy, my "B". We all miss your sweet face so much, especially me and Oscar. It is just not the same without you. I just hope and pray that you are healthy and happy now!

Kim Steffen

Bardy is a member of our family. He helped define who our family was and we loved him. He was fun and quirky, loving and protective. He made us feel safe and loved. Our hearts are broken that we never got to say goodbye to our dear Bardy. We will miss him everyday for always.

Amy Adams

This tribute is in memory of Barklee; a loving soul to the Kiss Family for the past 14 years. She left so unexpectedly and many hearts are broken.
Barklee is sadly missed and her family is lost without her loving and wagging tail to greet them.
May all find comfort in the love that was given and received, as well as cherished memories of 14 years to keep her spirit young at heart.
Barklee runs free now with Grandpa and is free of pain.
Thinking of each of you. Maureen Daly

We miss you so much buddy - We will see you again - have fun on the Rainbow Bridge... WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Thomas and Christy

To our wonderful canine friend of 15 years. Our hearts are broken because you are gone. Your unconditional love will remain in our hearts forever. Rest in peace our faithful friend.

Ken and Tammy Derrick

Thank you for 15 wonderful years. You're now back with Duke, Coco, and Skeeter. Until we meet again, rest in peace Little Man. Love, Mom

Barkley, we miss you so very much.
The house feels empty, my heart is broken, our days are sad.
You were everything to me, my best friend when Gary was gone, my protector and helper as each of the children were born, a playmate and buddy for the kids as they grew, and the one who was always there to kiss the tears and listen when we needed you.
You helped me grow as a woman and a mother, you were there to hug when I was scared or sad, and your smile, (yes Barkley could smile) would light our home up.
It has only been three days and I find myself sleeping with your collar, laying where you loved to sleep, looking to smell your familiar smell, and hoping that I did the right thing.
I want you back home, I want to hug and hold you again, I want my best friend back.
I know this is not possible, but my heart aches and I don't know how to make it stop.
I remember each and everything you would do, all the memories, all the fun, all the love.
I know you were sick and that you deserved to be in a better place where you were whole, but my heart misses you and wishes I could turn back time.
I want to celebrate your life and all that you gave to me, to our entire Family and that is why we let you go.
We let you go to give you the love, the unselfish love that you deserved and I hope that you knew that.
I hope you were ok with our choice and understood that we did this because we loved you so much.
A day will not go by that I will not think of you.
You are in my heart and I pray each night that you will visit me in my prayers and tell me you are ok.
I love you Barkley always and forever.

Heather

Barkley- Thank you for everyday that you spent with us-I thank you for sitting on my feet while I studied late into the night-Thank you for meeting me at the door everyday-even when you were ill.
You were a beautiful member of our family and I miss you so terribly.
You will always be in my heart. Enjoy your new found health-run free and wild Barks-We all love you.
Say hi to grandpa,Hil,Coda and Chino.
Take Care Barks- I love you-

Cathy

The best friend anyone could have asked for.

God truly received a special animal today.
Barkley was born on a small farm outside of Norman, Oklahoma; where she was the runt of the litter and the first one taken! She was chocolate red with tan trim, ice blue eyes and big floppy aussie shepard ears. She spent the first year and a half of her life in Oklahoma and then spent the rest of her life relaxing and aging gracefully in the Sub-Tropics of the Florida Keys.
After 14.5 years, Barkley finally decided to move on to a much BIGGER playground.

I'll miss you girl...I do already.
Love, Dad
She

Barkley,
Once you were rescued from the awful puppymill, you were only with us about five years.
But in that short time you taught me patience, understanding, and unconditional love and I thank you for that.
Your time on this earth was not nearly long enough, but I was glad you got to spend most of it with me and out of the mill.

Thank you Barkley Bear! I love you and miss you so much every day.

Melody Stone

Barkly - thank you for three wonderful years of loving and devoted companionship.
You brought much joy and happiness to all of us.
Although our time together was short, you had a huge impact on our lives:
we will never forget you.

Barkly - we'll see you at the bridge!

John

We miss you little man. You brought joy and happiness to our lives for the length of time you were with us. There is an emptiness in our hearts now that can't be filled. We know you are better off and out of pain but that doesn't stop the tears from falling. We will always love you and look forward to the time we meet on Rainbow Bridge so we will be together again, forever. Love always, Diane and Jim.

Barney, My apple steeling snuggle buddy
and best friend I wish you were here, this is too hard without you.

Mom

Dearest Barney
I still miss you Bo and always will. You were a wonderful friend and I will always remember the times we spent together. You were always there to pick me up when I was feeling down. There is a place in my heart where you will always remain. Be happy Bo and keep your eye on the Rainbow Bridge where we will meet again some day.
God bless you my old buddy
Ray
PS: Jeannie sends her love.

My special boy ... you will always be in my heart and will never be forgotten.
You loved me as much as I loved you and I miss you so much.
I will see you at Rainbow Bridge xxx

Janis Coulson

My Barney-Boy... you were the best friend a girl could ever have.
No matter what, you were the one who was always there for me, the one I could count on to love me no matter what.
I wish you didn't have to leave me, I wish you were still here.
I think about you all the time, and you will NEVER be forgotton... someday we will play with tennis balls together again.
I love you and I miss you with all
my heart.

-Your loving sister,
Ashely

I only had Barney for a short 16 months but he gave me so much love.
He very quickly became my little boy and my best friend.
He left me very suddenly and unexpectedly early this morning after not recovering from dental work and the meds given him just yesterday.
My heart aches as I write this because just two days ago, we were playing fetch with his favorite toy, he was barking at me to tell me it was time for his treat and when I asked the usual, are you ready for night-night, he jumped and came running toward me.
I will forever miss this special little boy.

Ruth Elledge

Barney, my beautiful cat. I had you for 18 years and they were the best because of you. I will always miss your loving beautiful blue eyes and your soft long hair. You are my heart, my soul and my being, Play with the others, mind yourself and always remember me. I love you, I love you ,I love you
Your faithful human friend,
Debbie

Debbie

Barney its been a while but I just found about how I could put your memory here.You were a great cat and you had a good life I will see you at the rainbow bridge along with some other animals of ours I am sure you all have meant by now I love you and will see you on the other side when its my turn.Love Momoxoxoxoxoxo

Our beloved Barney passed away in his dad's arms on June 14.
He will join his brother, Opie, who crossed the Bridge in July of 2007.
Barney was smart, loveable and loyal and never had a cross word with anyone.
He will be missed for as long as we live.

Jeri Harrell

HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY IN HOUND DOG HEAVEN

Ann Pratt

Barney you have been a wonderful dog. No other dog could ever take your place within our hearts. We are so blessed that we were able to be your forever family, even though it was only for a short time. We will think of you everytime we go to the park and remember how much you loved taking walks and riding in the car. I will always remember how you would greet us after we came home from work with that "I'm mad at you" bark. And then your happy twirl as if you were saying "I missed you" We will always keep you in a special place within our hearts and look forward to holding you again as we cross Rainbow Bridge together. We love you.

Melissa Cuff and Scott Cuff

Barney, we will miss you always and will never forget you.
You were a brave,loving little guy right up to the end. You showed us love and companionship for 15 years, even when your hearing was gone and your sight was failing.
It will be hard but life will move on even though it will have a small piece missing without you.
We wait for the time when we all meet again at the Rainbow Bridge and are together forever.
We love you and hope you are having fun playing with your toy hedgehog and running free among the angels.

With all our love,
Mom (Alice), Dad (Stan) and April

Barney was rescued from a no-kill shelter in Asheville, NC in September 2006.
He was extremely underweight, flea-infested, and depressed.
After coming to us, he quickly put on weight, got rid of his fleas, and started showing interest in life again (especially eating and taking walks; he loved to roll on his back in the grass).
About 6 months after we got him, my daughter Virginia who is a vet in Charlotte, NC examined him and determined from his blood that he had Cushings Disease (CD).
Shortly thereafter, he started showing the symptoms of CD - ravenous appetite and insatiable thirst.
He started getting weaker and his health declined over the next year until he could no longer stand up.
We loved him because he had a gentle spirit.
He was a very unusual schnauzer; he almost never barked and was friendly to everyone.
He loved to have his neck scratched and his main occupation was begging for a petting or a treat.
I miss him very much.

Eric Soderberg

A wonderful friend and companion

Brian Hannon

We admire your courageous loving spirit that enabled you to fight cancer for so long.
We will all miss your smile, tail wagging when
you saw one of us and your intense love of
food and treats.
Your spirit will be missed for quite awhile!

Lisa, Esther & Diane

Dear Barney,
You were the most contrary dog! You loved to escape, but were never gone for long. You knew you had it good! We loved you from the minute Ace brought you home. The animal control officer was trying to catch you and Ace broke away from us and rounded you up. He ran you into our fence and then we were your family. When you became sick we tried to do everything we could to save you. The cancer came on fast and we watched you lose so much weight. When your kidneys failed we had to make a decision. I know in my heart it was the right one. You couldn't eat anymore and that was your favorite past-time. It was hard to do this final act of love for you, but I know it was for the best. I love you Barney and I miss you every day. I buried you outside the fence you hated so much. I gave you dirty sock and your favorite blanket. The house is empty and I would give anything to hear you howl for your food just one more time!

Karen May

Thank you, little Barney, for being such a huge blessing in our lives.
I'll hold you Heaven.

Jana Vater

Our beloved Barney passed away today on our way to the vets office. He was sitting in my son's lap and that is where he took his last breath. I believe that Barney wanted to pass on with his loved ones by his side not at the vet office. Barney was suffering from crf since January 2008 and we have seen great improvement in the begining but after awhile it was up and down and just in the last few days he took a turn for the worse and I knew his time was limited so I spent every minute I could with him. We will truly miss Barney he was such a good pet and friend.

Ingrid

Thank you so much Barney for giving me 14 of the happiest years with you. I miss you so much, my Handsome Man! You may be gone but you will never leave my heart. I love you so much Barney. There will be the day that we are together again. Until then remember that Mommy loves you so much. Rest in peace sweetheart.

Marilee Desin

Barney will be missed by all, he was truly the best dog ever.

Heather Shanahan

I miss you, my best friend for over 13 years. You protected me and made me feel safe. I will never forget the special birthday when I was given you as a gift,and blessed to be your human mom.

Lisa

she will be missed greatly by her human family and her 4 dog family she was agreat dog

Debbyperkins

I always knew my puppy was very special to me but what I was not prepared for was the intense pain that I am going through right now after having lost my beloved pet.I am really glad this page exist for people,like me who know how it feels to lose one of their family members. Barney was a loving, sweet little dog that made friends wherever he went. Everyone who met him,fell instantly in love with him. He went many places with us and saw,smelled,chased and played with many different and interesting things. I believe he had a very good life. We love you very much Barney and you will live in our hearts forever...

The Bennett Family

My Little Hero

I didn't realize until after you had passed and I had too much time to reflect on your final months just how brave and stoic you had been. I am sorry I didn't notice just how sick you were while you sat patiently and watched meommie take care of your older brother Baby in his final days. You waited for your turn as you watched meommie grieve for his loss I thought that you were grieving too. Then meommie noticed that you were gravely sick too. So off to the vet we go and after some tests she tells me she thinks you have lymphoma. I didn't want to hear that nor believe it. The next day I took you to a specialist who thought or was hoping that it was just your IBD. With more tests we found out you had pancreatitis now too. You were so brave with all of the test,shots,feedings,pills,medicines and everything we tried to keep you with us. And in doing so you gave me time to heal from the loss of your brother. But in truth i have since found out that I never fully grieved for him because I was too busy fighting for you. But in doing so you gave me extra special time with you. You put your weight back on and I thought that we were ok and the dr was wrong. Then your eyes your big beautiful eyes started to show signs of the disease that would cause you so much pain. But you even hid that from me too. You would lay with me on the couch on my shoulder as I franticly looked for a way to save you. You knowing your time was coming near. Me soaking up all of your love I could get. You rubbing your face against mine. Oh how I miss that. I have never felt sorrow thw way I do now. Thank you for hanging tough and I am sorry if you suffered for me. I am sure you and Baby are having a grand time at the bridge. You guys wait for the meommie and know how proud and thankful she is of you. I miss all of those love rubs.

Love,
Meommie

Barney,
We miss you so much.
You were the best dog a person could hope for.
Winny, Bo and Snowball really miss you.

Joan

A truly remarkable dog, who brought me so many happy times especially when I was younger.

Barney,
I remember the good times, I even remember when I first got you, that night I snook down in the middle of the night to the kitchen to see you, I wanted you to sleep with me, in my room :). I remember all the good times:

You jumping up to catch the snow when you were a puppy
Taking you to the seaside
Walking you in summer on the fields
Going bike riding with you
Going to work with dad - you loved skips
You stealing brushes from peoples gardens, hahaha
Playing fetch

You were my closest and most respected friend!

If you can hear me Barney or even understand me - I want to say I am sorry for not walking you every single day and for any pain or upsetment I may have contributed to you unknowingly in your lifetime. But I miss you incredably. I am crying as I write this you are the best pet anyone could wish for, so loving and gentle. I want you back more than you will ever know! When I think off all the times I wanted to help you when you were cold or lonely it saddens me to know it wasnt up to me... I dont want you to resentment towards me, but I understand if you do! If I had my way you'd be in my arms right now!

You will live on in my memory forever - you shall never be replaced - I love you barns!

Rich

Peaceful wishes for Barney.....

Jan, John, Greg & David Hannon

You have given so much to this family.
Your smile, your gallop, your unconditional love are a tribute to who you are as a tri-colored family member.
You are truly symbolic of the beginning of Mommy & Daddy's life together.
It was the four of us, mommy, daddy, Waffles and Barney.
We continued to grow and with each child that we brought home you were there with open paws.
You will forever be missed but will always remain in our hearts.
Autumn's pet, mommy's joy, daddy's unconditional love and safe place, andrew's pal and sam's pal.
There is a place in our heart that is missing but someday we will all be together again.
WE LOVE YOU - UNCONDITIONALLY.
Keep Emile close....that is your owners (o:

Stephen, Patricia, Autumn, Andrew, Sami Jean

Barney, my little toasted marshmallow fluffball. We knew you a very very short time but we grew to love you as if you had been with us forever. Daddy and I miss snuggling with you and hearing you chirp when you played. You were so loving. We miss the way you stared into our eyes and purred. I hope you did not die scared and suffocating.
I hope you just lay down to go to sleep.
Mewler is still looking for you. He misses his little buddy. Mojo seems to have tears in her eyes since you left. Daddy and I keep thinking you will run up to us when you hear us come home or yawn and stretch and saunter to us as we come down the stairs in the morning.
We love you so so so much.
We hope to see you again some day.
My mom and dad and Kayo will all take care of you until we see you again.
Don't mind Kayo. He just loves licking little furry things all over.

Love you Barnabus.

Lorie A.White

We have never forgotten you Barney, and still love you.

Jean Wilson

Beloved Barnie, you have joined your Brother Quentin at the Rainbow Bridge, where you are free to run, jump, and play just like The Boys - - no arthritis holding you back!
We all love you and miss you so very, very much.
You and Quentin have left us a dear legacy through Baxter, Higgins, and Pepper.
Play well for eternity precious Barnie. The holes in our hearts just got a little bigger when you left us.

Mom, Dad, and The Boys.

Barnie you saved dad's life twice by preventing him from comminting suicide. I love you. You are an angle, and angles belong to God. Fly, fly my beautiful angel God is waitng for you.

Rita and Tim

You are my soul mate and there will not ever be a single day that goes by that I will not think of the love we shared. We will meet again of that I am sure.

Shelly Hollywood

He was my heart. He knew when I was sad or sick and always had a way to make me laugh and smile again.
My life has a hole that won't go away. He will forever be missed.

Mary May De Jong

Mommy loves you so much, pupper.
Your pain is finally gone...I wish I could say the same for mine.
You can run again and chase anything you want, and you don't have to worry about hurting. I miss you...you will always be my baby.

Lisa

From the day Baron was adopted he was instantly part of the family, afraid, shy of everyone but willing to learn.

He loved to chase rabbits (while on leash) and run me around the park, and he howled like a beagle should.

Baron left us last night, peacefully, about to fall asleep. He is missed so much already, and will always be loved.
Take care of him when he gets to where he's going.

We gave Baron the best that we could, his belongs are going to help others like him at the Animal Shelter, we think that he'd like that. He shared willing with other dogs and cats.

Farewell loving friend.

Bruce & Patricia Morgan

The Best Being that has ever lived or will ever live in the whole wide world, the universe and beyond.
You were loved as was I.
I would have gladly given you many years of my life if it were possible.
I miss you so terribly but I know that you never leave my side.
My Angel Dog.

Sherryl

Dearest Goliath, We miss you so much after all these years. It took 5 more rescues, just to get close to what we had with you. Your stubborness and love and kindness will never be forgotten. You saved me from empty nest syndrome when Alexis went off to College. We laid you under your favorite tree to wait for your brothers and sisters and us so we will all know where to meet when our time comes. There will never be another you, no matter how many more fur babies we rescue, you're one in a million. Loyalty is a lesson that you taught me well, I never realized how much a hairy little doxie could capture our hearts and souls, and for that I'm eternally greatful. Hopefully, you'll have met up with Lili and you are having a grand old time being young and healthy again, I can hardly wait to see you, but you have to wait a bit longer as there are 5 more fur balls to take care of for now. Be as Happy as you always made us, & will again in the future. All our Love, Mom, Daddy, ALexis & the other furballs who are looking forward to meeting you at the Rainbow Bridge.

An eternity wouldn't have been long enough.
Words cannot express the happiness your life has has brought that will always remain here with me.
While this hole in my heart will never be full, mommy takes comfort in knowing that you are in a better place, and that agony and discomfort will never plague your little body again. I love you so much Baron.
You will always be in my heart.
Until we meet again, Bar.
Thank you for taking care of mommy and Ace.

Silence is empty, filled with breaths from mouths
that never move no more

she talked some more, she talks now

and all the lights went out in empty rooms
and now the empty hall

I talk alone, i talk now

And all I wanted was a Chance to see you anyway

hold me, fold me up in your arms
faster, my love, sinking and gone

I was aware the time, I was a son before i met you dear

I talk alone, i talk now

and all the lights go out in empty rooms
and now the dirty hall

I talked alone, I talk now
And all I wanted was a Chance to see you anyway

Hold me, fold me up in your arms
Faster, my love, shrinking and gone

Hold me, my love
Telling me don't be afraid
Wouldn't you want me to swim
Wouldn't you want me to stay?

Hold me my love
Telling me won't be afraid
Wouldn't you want me to swim
Wouldn't you want me to stay

Jessica Lamb

Goodbye sweet baby boy.

Laura Loflin Dubois

Today (May 5 2008) is the one-year anniversary of Baron's passing. Baron was 16 years old and was very sick; his sweet little body had endured years of arthritis, he was almost totally blind and was going deaf. As his loving mommy, I couldn't bear to see him suffer any more.

Baron had 16 wonderful years of constant love, affection, and attention. He was my faithful companion through thick and thin. He was my rock. Whenever I was down, Baron was always there for me and was my solace.

I miss you sweet Baron and will always always remember you. I will see you again at Rainbow Bridge.

Diana Smith

My wonderfull baby. You brought so much joy to my life. You will be dearly missed by us all. I cant imagine going on with out you. You was always with me. No matter where I was. I will miss you for the rest of my life. No other pet can replace the hugs and unconditional lovins you have given me.

I will see you some day and cant wait. I hope you are not hurting anymore. The car accident really hurt you bad. And the person driving that car never gave a thought as to what they did. I am determined to find who ever did this to my sweat lovable baby. Love you and goodby

Barstow was an amazing animal. Rescued from the beach in Santa Monica, CA, Barstow made his way up to Salem, Oregon and then back to Dallas, Texas where he lived for the remainder of his life. Bar loved to run around and fetch things like a dog. He also loved to sleep on your head like a hat, and he licked every chance he got. Such a smart and loyal cat, I've never seen anything like it. Barstow was almost 15 pounds, a grand, majestic kitty who will be dearly missed. Barstow is survived by his big sister, Tarzana and his loving owners: Currin, John K, Nick, Arod, and Joel.

We miss you so much already Bart.
I am sorry that we couldn't afford the spinal surgery to fix you.
You are the gold standard by which all subsequent dogs will be measured.
We love you so much and will never forget you.

Katherine Stevens

Bart (aka Bartinsk, Bubba, Mommy's Baby Boy, Shadow and Grampa Grumps when you didn't get your way) I miss you so much. Tomorrow will be a week since I had to say goodbye to you. It was such a difficult decision. You were in such pain and struggling so hard to breathe. As painful as it was for me to watch, I know you endured so much more pain. As I write this, the tears are coming down because you are not here with me. I know that a part of you will always be here in my heart. I miss your hugs and kisses. You were always so loving. I definitely had a "guard cat". After seeing you in action, I know that you were as good as any guard dog could be. You were so faithful. You stayed right by my side as I did my physical therapy to learn how to walk again. Mom said you missed me so much when I was in the hospital that you, my big kitty, lost weight. You were mad at me when I first came home but it didn't take you long to realize that I was there and you resumed your guard duties. It's hard for me to watch it rain outside right
because I know you're out there and I know that you hate the rain. But thats not the real you. I am convinced the real you will be waiting for me at the gates of heaven. You were one of Gods angels entertained unaware. I love you Bart,
Mommy

We miss you love xoxox

Devin and Danielle

Do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

This is what is running through my head, and will be sung to Bart tonight as he is relieved from his pain, from his tired, stiff body .............only to reunite with his soul sister Star and his friends at the Rainbow bridge .

It is with great emotion that I reflect on my dear friend, my dear protector, my sentinel and wingman Bart.
Bart has been my pleasure to be with for 11 and a half years. What a delightful gift to be in his company, and under his watchful eye for such a long and eventful period in our lives. I believe he was sent my way, for me to find at the crosswalk of Hill Elementary School one morning long ago when things weren't going so well. I now know I was sent an angel to watch over me. I had no idea the depth and intensity of the gift I had found, with a milk carton and twist tie tag on his neck that said "Please help me, I have been dumped".
I have saved that milk carton tag , long after the lettering has weathered away. The other puppies wearing those tags were found homes, but there was something special about Bart, as a tiny puppy, blending into our lives as if he was meant to be there. I know he was meant to be with us. His bond with our huge dog Star was quick and their love affair as partners was a beautiful sight.
To this very day , Star's ashes are waiting for Bart's and they will be together again, in a new dimension.
In the midst of my sadness at Bart having to leave this planet, and the body , is a deep sense of relief, that he is no longer in pain, and an even deeper sense of gratitude for having been one that was protected by him and loved by him.
Bart was and is still living in my heart.
I stand on my faith that this is not the end, just a new form that he has taken. He will be waiting someday for our reunion, and for his reunion with Daniel as well. He protected and watched over Daniel as if he was his son, and delighted in watching Daniel grow up to be the wonderful man he is . He entertained and played with Daniel from 5th grade until the present (senior in college) . His reunions each time Daniel came to see him during the last few years were beautiful , and there were many times they spoke on the phone! Bart knew exactly who he was talking to when the phone was put to his ear, and Daniel's voice was heard. His whole spirit would lift , and in their last conversation, he was trying to lick the voice, the spirit of Daniel.
His passing last night was calm, and mighty..............just like him.
Heaven rejoices ...........an angel has returned home.

Gail

My much loved little spirit has left my worldly side. Bart was a spunky rescue dog that with great love and understanding became a therapy dog. He touched many lives. Whether it was in shopping malls selling tickets for animal charities or visiting those who needed a lick. They always responded with the gentle relaxation that petting his warm body and soft coat provided. I will miss him. But I will move on tomorrow knowing that he has given me special gifts which I have learned from. Bart and I created memories I will always keep in my heart and cherish.

Eleanor

Bart was a wonderful, kind soul who took the good with the bad when it came to lifes unfair health problems.
She was a trooper and never gave up.
She was loved by many who will miss her as deeply as her parents.
She was a gem and will be remembered always with kindness, happiness, and love.

Parents Larry and Pat Charlson

Our crazy boy. You brought us so much laughter and love. You were our comedian and hellion with a huge heart. Our hearts ache without you here. We will always love you handsome boy!

Karyl & Al Doss

I was going to tell how Bart passed and of our sadness at his loss, but you all know the sorrow that fills the heart when a beloved friend leaves us.
There are so many things I could say about his gentle sweet nature his funny meow that sounded more like a low barking, how he played fetch with my hair bands, how he was three times the size of the average cat. The point is he made our lives better for having had him with us, he made us laugh, he gave us years of joy, and so much unconditional love.
For almost seventeen years he was the best cat anyone could ask for, and it's only in his leaving us that he finally made us cry.
To you Bart; Thank you baby for everything, know you will always be loved, have a great time with the rest of your family,our other kids, and we will meet you at the bridge when the time is right. We love and we miss you. All our love, Mom and Dad

I miss you my big gentle giant, we all do. You were always so kind and gentle and you were my best friend. You loved me no matter what. I miss your face, your smell, your licking my face. Bart I will never forget you and there will never be a day that my heart won't ache to hug you again. I truly know that I will see you again someday Bart and we'll run together...and you can smell all the beautiful flowers again with me. I miss you Bart, I love you...

Annie Lamarche

You were taken from us too soon precious little cougar.

Becky

She was a kind and gentle companion.
She gave unconditional love and only asked to be loved in return.
She was part of my life for a short eight years; gone too soon.
Bartsy, you will always stay in my heart and soul.
We all miss you.

Carole

" I was there when that beautiful creature drifted into my world and I was there when she drifted out". This baby, my baby entered my world 11 years ago and changed me forever. The day she was born, I was prepared for the day I would no longer have her. As prepared as I was for the moment of loss, I was unprepared for how quicly my heart could break months and months later by the thought of her. It was her and I for 11 years;never married and no children, she was all I needed and she felt the same for me. She was beautiful; a sable coating with golden highlights on her ears-her eyelashes long, like a little lady. She often reminded me of Lady from "Lady and the Tramp".

Her health had started decline. Her arthritis was crippling her and she could no longer do the things she loved- jumping and running around. She lost the use of her back legs and 2 days of me having to carry her outside so that she could go the restroom--I finally took her to the vet. I knew in my heart, what the vet was going to recommend. Aside from the legs, she had a heart problem developing as well- she was retaining fluid in her belly. We spoke of my options- one would keep her with me but she would not live the life she had. The other was to have her leave me--but she would not suffer. As I type this, although it was almost 7 months ago, my heart still breaks and the tears still flow.

I sat on the floor hugging her and holding her, tears streaming down my face. She licked my tears, as she always had, oblivious to why my heart was breaking. I knew what I needed to do and I was searching for the strength to give my baby bear the unselfish love that she had given me for 11 years.

I held her in my arms as she peacefully left my life. It was the most beautiful experience I have ever had. She looked as if she had fallen asleep in my arms..like the baby she was.

It is amazing how the mind and heart work, I am just now starting to dream about her. In the dreams, she is there and she is real and I am happy and she is wagging her tail. I touch her, and it feels real; I hold her, and it feels real; I can smell her, and it smells real. I awake slowly, pondering the dream and wishing so badly that she was in my bed with me. There is a certain sadness that comes with the wakening...but a certain joy that comes with knowing that occassionally when I go to sleep, I can sometimes spend an evening with her. And that is something to look forward to. It feels a lot like time traveling, I suppose. And I am thankful.

Lora

My baby boy, you traveled every where with us, please wait for me. I Love and MISS you.

Linda

darling baz, our faithful friend, you gave us such love and hours of fun,you loved to play with your ball and was an excellent fielder at cricket!you fought so hard to stay with us even tho you were extremely poorly. we are glad you passed quickly and was at home with us. sleep peacefully with your sister daisy.we are heartbroken little man god bless love from the humans. xxx

Basil has been a great family member and friend and will be dearly missed by everyone who had the pleasure to meet her! My poor baby developed brain and spleen cancer and was gone in two short days. I look forward to the day when I can see her again and hold her furry body and give her lots kisses!

Christina

Basil was.
Basil was a lover;
his purr a bass symphony
Basil was a cuddler;
demanding a lap to sleep on
Basil was gentle; patting a face to show affection
Basil was a scowler;
Basil was a howler
Basil was King; he bambozzled Jessie - she retreated in submission
Basil was Sage’s brother, the sibs were Inseparable - Sagil and Bage
Poor Sagey - Basil is gone And lives in our hearts

Carolyn

I couldn't have loved you more. You bought me so much joy and i miss you so much. The house is so quiet i listen for your paws on the kitchen floor, your snoring when you slept and your friendly excited greeting when i came home from work but your not there. I feel empty and alone. Im so sorry my old friend, I just hope that you are happy and content, all the ailments healed. I can't bear to go to the park which was your favorite place, too many painful memories, maybe one day, just not yet. Love you boy x

Rachael

Razzle Dazzle Basil Buckaroo was a loving, very funny boy.
He didn't socialize much, but when he did, it meant he thought you were special.
His most endearing behavior was when he slept on the pillow next to me.
He would lay across my arm, and then lean over and gently lick my eyelid.
He had very dense fur and loved to have his belly rubbed, purring as loud as ever.
I miss him.

Bates,
I love you so much. I can't believe this happened to you. Thank you so much for all you've done for our family. You will never, ever be forgotten. You're the purest of good and you are beyond words amazing. I'll never forget your human traits, and how you could understand everything we said to you. You are so smart, and I hope you and dad found each other.

Katherine, Jeannette, Matthew

.To my very special boy.
Thanks for choosing to spend your life with me.
I will always love you.
- Mommy

You were with me for 14 years.
I can not sleep without you on my feet.
I missed you tonight while I was on lying on the sofa.
I looked down and the tears came.

You gave me unconditional love and with that I have learned to give unconditional love.
Your fur in my mouth, your crazy tail when you saw crickets, flys, or even birds.
You made me laugh when I wanted to cry.
Please wait for me.
I will see you someday my prince!

Christine M. Rhodes

Batbaby you were so a part of each day of our lives it is difficult to live without you. If I wasn't looking for you, you were looking for me. It's like we had to be close to live.
So now you know how empty I feel.
I look for you and can only imagine you being next to me.
I can talk to you but I get no answer.
No cute little mug looking up at me.
I want to imagine you in the poem but I always imagine me walking toward you. You are never alone.
Mama

I wanted to again pay tribute to this wonderful cat, who gave a fatherless little boy a best friend. Batman loved his boy, and loved to cuddle, and the little boy learned to love animals, and learned about love.

The little boy is now 19, and heading off to college, but boy and his mother will never forget the gift that this wonderful feline gave to us.

Maria Kleinbub

To our little devil and all the laughs and happiness he gave.

I am very alergic and cary an epie pen I did not have with me. I love him and miss him everyday. It has been almost 6 months and I still cry every day for him. I LOVE YOU BAVO!!

Dan Raddish

I lost my one and only true friend today.
Although I know that I his death cannot break our spiritual connection, it will be agony waiting to join you.
Please watch over me while you wait Big Man!

Tonya

Our Special Baxter!
You without a doubt were a blessing sent from heaven to our family.
From the day I found you in Mom and Dad's backyard you brought us nothing but happiness and joy.
Your personality was one of a kind and I know I will never have another cat as "cool" as you.
You were a faithful friend to all of us and you provided unconditional love and kindness to my Mom when Jen and I were not able to be there with her.
I personally can never thank you enough for that.
When Mom passed away April 14 Jen and I brought you to live in our home as we had hoped you could now enjoy the easy life here with us.
We only had you for about 6 months here, but they were a special 6 months.
You fit right in and I so wish you were here now playing with your toys and hopping up on the counter to drink from the fish bowl or wait for us to feed you.
The hole in our hearts is huge right now, but we know you are no longer suffering from FIP which took you from us.
We did eveything we could our faithful friend to find out what was wrong with you so we could get you better, but it was God's plan to have you join him and my Mom in Heaven.
We know you are sitting with my Mom watching over us.
Please continue to do so.
We will never forget you.
We love you and we hope that we provided you the best possible home while you were here on earth with us.
Rest in Peace our dear friend.
Until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge we love you Baxter!

Love Always your Parents
Nick and Jennifer Montez



Baxter,
You were my best friend for many years & were the best cat I have ever had the pleasure of having. You were with me through so many challenges and good times! You always came to me with love and never ever were in a bad mood. You will always be my Bax and I will love you forever. You will be missed by Oliver and Wesley as well. We love you little Baxter

Sweet Baxter, you were so sick when we rescued you.
We tried and tried to help you, but your poor little body had taken too much.
I know you are at the Bridge now with all of your friends.
We love you!

Lyle and Carole McCreary

After a final massive seizure caused by valley fever on Sunday, April 13, 2008 I had to say goodbye to you on Monday.
You fought an honorable battle and took a piece of my heart with you.
I will miss your stupid grin, howling at sirens, barking and chasing airplanes, going camping, always waiting at the door to give me your chew toy upon my arrival, and stopping me every day like clockwork at 6:30 for your snack.
Rest easy buddy and please wait for me before you go on in.
Your big sister Dazy and little brother Lincoln miss you too.
Goodbye for now Baxter - woof!

Randy Weaver

Baxter, you were my little brother. I remember the day came home and your rested your on my tummy. We played pull toys together. You chirped like a bird when we were apart from each other. I know that you always wanted to love me and never meant to hurt me. I was old and you were young. I know that you loved me .. you slept in bed with me with your head resting on my tummy for three days before you went to the rainbow bridge. I'll be there with you one day soon and we'll play together until we see Mommy coming for us. We'll wait for Mommy together.

Winston

For my little dog with spunk, I miss you horribly.

Cheryl Abernathy

Baxter-Riley Casas.....that was the name as given to you on the ride home the day we picked you. There was never a question as to which of the bundles of fur we were going to take home with us. As soon as we saw you, our hearts just knew. You were such an important part of our lives and we struggle to make sense of our lives without you here. In the end, we were happy to carry you up and down the stairs all the while getting quality snuggles and kisses. We miss that the most. Your big brown eyes that showed us so much love and trust. We will miss you always. You are forever loved by both of us...mommy and daddy will never forget you.



We love you Baxter, big buddy, bob cat.
We miss you. We know we'll see you again.
God bless you.
Thank you for all your love.
Now Alley is with you.
She entered heaven today.
Take good care of each other.
Love, your family.

Baxter was a loving, caring cat.
He was always there to greet people, and wanted to be part of the group.
He had a brother, Johnny Damen, who misses, him, and so do his Mommy and Daddy!
We all just hope and pray that he is now at peace, and no longer feeling any more discomfort or pain.

Anna Maria Lypowy

TO MY FAITHFUL COMPANION, MAY YOU FOREVER
REST IN PEACE IN "DOGGIE HEAVEN".

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

Gale Bruns

The first time I saw you
I knew you were going to be mine.
Those crazy ears standing straight up, you came up to the door and looked out the window.
I fell in love with you the first time I met you.
My crazy Baylee.
Looking back I know if you were still with those people you would not have made it this long.
You beat a ruptured bladder, mast cell, and so many other aliments-not one of them could break you down.
You were my fighter.
Those eyes spoke volumes.

With a heavy heart and lots of tears I say Goodbye to my old girl today.
May she run with her older sister Britnee, chase the laser, bunnies, chipmunks and wait for me on the other side of the bridge.
I will see you when I see you, I know you'll be there waiting for me when its my time.

I love you forever Bay.

Mom

My dear Baylee girl (BayDoggie, BayBay, BayBugs) - you fought the good fight, and it was time for you to rest.
You were the matriarch of the BeagTrio, and will be missed more than words can say.

Life will never be the same without you here - you were simply the best.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, KK, and your buds - Buddy and Abby

Baylee, you were sunshine to my world, your unconditional love and loyalty to me are going to be so terribly missed.
I am so blessed to have known you these short 5 years. My heart hurts so bad right now. I know I will see you again one day, can't wait to see your little face as you come running into my arms!

Kathy Hughes-Kyllo

I miss my girl, Bayley, she was the sweetest thing and I am grieving heavily for her, I had to have her euthanized due to health complications.
she will always be in my heart and has taken part of my heart with her.
She was cremated and I have her remains with me now, forever.
I will miss you friend.

Jim/Sandy McFadden

When we first saw you at the rescue home your beautiful eyes enchanted us and we had to have you.
You had 10 good years with us and at the end you were so very very brave.
You will forever be in our hearts and one day our precious little boy we will meet again at rainbow bridge and never be parted again. Run free with your brothers & sister, until we meet again, rest in peace our little solider we love you.
Mummy & Daddy xxxxx

Doreen Dougan

My precious Beeper was so sweet and kind that he never hissed or scratched anyone.

My Beeper you are pure LOVE!! When you laid on my lap you loved me to give you Reiki energy and you were so attuned to all my feelings and emotions that I just knew that you could read my thoughts, we were totally connected and I know that you will always be around to help me and guide me in my healing work.

You will always be my little panther--with your beautiful black shining fur and your beautiful Emerald green eyes.

You always knew when I needed love and when I was in pain you were always by my side. I am so glad I rescued you when we lived in L.A. and I was glad that you were able to come with us and enjoy living in Texas and enjoy our new house.

You will always be in my heart and I know that you and all my other pets that have gone before you will be waiting for me when it's my time to go.

I am glad that you are in such a beautiful place and that you are young and full of life once again where there is no suffering. I will cherish all these 16 years that we spent together and will always love you for the wonderful loving kitty that you are and will always be.

Have fun my precious baby and I know that you will be looking out for me always until we are together again.

Thank you God for blessing us with such loving pets that have brought so much love and healing and lessons to learn in our lives.

Beeper, I will love you forever!

Anna Cantu

Beach was our "baby" and will never ever be forgotten.
We miss him immensely and have faith he will be waiting at the BRIDGE with those big round black eyes when we arrive!

Randy and Sherri Pender

My beautiful baby boy Beagle, you will be so sorely missed. You were a such a trooper and always had the sweetest disposition. You are in Gods hands now and I trust he will be there to comfort you until I get there. Hang in there for me sweetie, I promise we will be together again.
Love, Mommy & Daddy

Beamer...as hard as it was for us to do, we had to say goodbye to you.
You've been a part of our lives for 13.5 years and it's hard to not shed tears.
We know now you're pain free, and you can again hear and see. Enjoy your new life, our friend, until me meet again.

We'll always love you, Beamer -- and will miss you until the day we're all together again to cross the Bridge together.

Wes, Melanie & Zachary Boyer

I'll never forget you, baby Bean, my "Beana, Warrior Princess," my wee one, my lovey-dovey, my sweet precious lady. Joe will never forget you either and he looks forward to giving you scratches on your bum again, just like you liked. We love you and miss you so much.

Tracie

You were my best friend.
You saved me.
This manic depression took over my mind and body and stole everything I believed in, and you gave that part of myself back to me.
You helped me remember who I was.
You still give me a reason to live.
You helped me see my purpose.
I'm just sorry that I couldn't save you, friend.
I miss you.
My heart aches for you.
I knew when I held you in that towel last night that those would be our last moments.
Its still so hard to let go.
I'm glad I could hold you and rub your nose.
Please forgive me for not doing that more often.
Forgive me for not letting you do your binkies often enough.
I hope you know how much I loved you then and love you still.
You'll always be a part of my heart and soul.
You were such a good friend.
You were more like my daughter.
Please remember me when I see you there one day.
Please be happy.
Please don't forget the good times we had.
Please stay with me always.
I love you, baby.
I'm sending lots of nose rubs and kisses to you (and some cilantro).
I hope you get them soon.
I love you my Beanie.

Whitney Duke

To my precious Beaner.
My heart will never be the same without you here.
You brought more joy and love to me than anyone could ever imagine.
I hope and pray that you didn't suffer and I'm am so deeply sorry that you had to go before your time.
It is a loss that I will NEVER get over.
I am sorry that I didn't get to say goodbye to you while you were still alive but know that I got there as soon as I could and that I stayed with you to say goodbye for a long time after.
I've built a garden for you and take care of it every night and sit each day to talk to you and tell you how sorry and sad I am that you're not still here.
We'll visit Beaner's Garden everyday and there won't be a day that goes by that I don't miss you or think about you.
I love you Beaner and hope that you can find someone to cuddle with until I get there to be with you again some day.
Thank you so much for everything you added to my life- for all the love, the licks and happy greetings we had.
I love you Beans.

Mommy



Beaner will be missed very much by her family - Mary, Joey, Mystic, Perro and Whippy.

I love and miss you so much.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, look at your pictures or kiss your ashes. I can't wait to see you again Bean Pup.

Love,
MaMa

I miss you, Beanie, so much.
I pray that God is taking care of you until we meet again.
I hope you are happy and loved...

Janet Short

Beano was such a beautiful cat. She was outside when suddenly a car hit her. It was so shocking. One moment she was there, and the next, she wasn't. I miss her so very much, like my heart is missing a piece of beauty. I don't believe in the afterlife, but I so hope there is one. She was lovely, and I may never look upon her again, but I will always cherish my memories of her.

Mark Crawford

Beano,
Our beloved family pet and special friend will always live in our hearts.
You gave us wonderful memories filled with life, love and laughter.
You did it all- camping, paddle boat, swimming, ball play and hiking.
You lived a long life- 15 years and you never gave up.

Love,
Your Bean Family

Beans was a great cat - he was loving and caring.
He loved to be with us wherever we were, even the shower.
He would comfort us if we were sad, and would even lick the tears off my cheeks.
He loved being held like a baby, and he adored getting and giving kisses all the time.

Nothing will ever fill his shoes.

Mallory & Daniel Avis

Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love

We miss you Cool Beans

Rich, Kristen and Bud & Chico Haas

Coeybeans,

You were the BEST little boy anyone could have ever wanted. You were always the one going on little adventures everytime you got the chance. I remember when you wanted to sit on the porch with me, and I gave you the benefit of a doubt but as usual you thought up a plan and got to go under your favorite tree across the road. Everyday you knew just how to make us all laugh, ever since you were little. Playing "catch" with you and throwing around the "kitties" was so much fun. We were truely blessed to have had you in our lives. Coe, we miss you so much.. and I especially miss you sleeping under the covers with me. I'll see you soon babyboy. xoxoxoxox

Love you so so much,
Ash, Teri, Missy, and BB.

Bear was my baby, the light of my life... Full of charisma, he always put a smile on my face and added a little sunshine to my day. Each day, when I held him close to me, the burden of my physical disability just melted away. I will always love you Bear! May you have no more pain, itchiness, allergies, or breathing problems. May you forever shine on in the eternal loving light of God! Miss you, my little Bear! Now you can climb as many Christmas trees as you like! I will see you again someday!

Mackenzie Kinney

You will be missed greatly, Mr. Bear. We will never forget how much love you gave us and how much happiness you brought us. Thank you for being such a wonderful companion. We will see you at the Bridge ...

Wooooo!!!

Love,
Kim, Rand, Mom, Dad & Midnight

We had not planned to keep a pet until our Bear was resuced from the street.
Following a close call involving a truck, my husband thought it would be safer to have the dog come home with him and try to find her owner.
Several calls were made to the shelters in town and ads ran in the local paper for days, yet, the owner did not call.
(By the second day, we were secrectly hoping that they wouldn't).
She had a very sweet manner about her and liked every human she met.
She gave us years of love and we'll never forget her.

Shirley Andersen

Bear came into our life as a rambunctious kitten.
He never wanted to be held and hated restraint of any kind.
He guarded us when we were in the bathroom for any reason and he sat in the middle of the kitchen floor whenever we were cooking.
He chased his toys with glee and sought affection unexpectedly.
When his time came we knew there was no turning back.
But the pain at his loss will remain, just as the love he left with us.
My gorgeous orange and white tabby, my little lion, I love you.

Yvette Hoelle

Cindy found Bear for me many years ago.
I loved him more than any other dog I have ever known.
He was so special.
He always knew how I felt- he was sensitive and loving.
I miss him dearly, but I am thankful to have had him in my life.

Elva Lennox

It had been almost a year now but I still feel you hear.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you.
When will the tears stop?

Daisy Anderson

Mr. Bear as we affectionately called him was a happy boy of 8 who loved everyone greeting them all with a bark and wagging tail.
Even when he wasn't feeling well which is probably the reason our own vet never suspected what we were about to find out.
He had been visibly under the weather for three weeks now and had been to the regular vet twice who ran blood work and did x-rays.
Even though the blood work showed he was anemic with an enlarged liver and spleen she wanted to wait for a week to see if his blood returned to normal.
Unfortunately last night I knew he was very very ill and we took him to the emergency vet clinic in our area.
They could immediately tell he had a distended belly and did an ultrasound which showed he was full of fluid.
Next came the peritoneal aspiration which returned pure blood.
The doctor suggested doing an exploratory laparotomy to see if we could find the source of his bleeding because he was now severely anemic and had absolutely no platelets in his blood.
So after a blood and platelet transfusion the surgery began.
When they did enter the abdomen they were met with two liters of blood. Equally shocking was his liver, spleen, and omentum was full of cancer. The vet said he had never seen anything like it before; at least not where the dog was still walking and wagging his tail. My husband and I were absolutely devastated and did the only humane thing we could do....allow him to cross the bridge into a land where he will be forever young and pain free.
Bear, thank you for always being a faithful friend, loyal companion and lover of all humans you came in contact with.
You are a truly special boy who deserves the rewards you will now reap over the rainbow bridge.
Until we one day meet again you will be in my heart always! Your mummy and daddy love you!

Bear is in peace now and we will miss him terribly and forever. He cheated death so many times that we started to call him Lazarus. But age finally caught up with him and his quality of life wasn't there. We probably should have let him go sooner but we couldn't bear to say good-bye.But it eventually became clear that we had to make the ultimate decision to end his suffering.Bye Bear-we love you and will see you on Rainbow Bridge.

Carol O'Connor

It's winter and my dog has died
I should get up from my chair
Where my hand hangs idly
Moving to scratch soft ears
Brushing empty air

Maybe go for a walk
Down the hall
Past the leash dangling from its hook
By the door

Or do some cleaning
Vacuum the hair from the couch
From the hollow he wore in the cushion
Thinking he had me fooled

In the morning I would hear
The thump
When he jumped to the floor
Come in to see him
Lying innocent on the rug

And I played along
Patting the head of my not-so-good dog
My freckle-faced pooch
My amber-eyed boy

I open the cupboard
And swear I hear the soft pad of paws
Right behind me
I reach for a biscuit
Then stop
I was well trained

Useless now
The habits of fifteen years
Clatter and echo
In my empty house

Like a rock
Tossed down an old well.

Meghan O'Flaherty

Thank you Bear for being my comfort and my soul mate. WHEN YOU LEFT ME YOU TOOK 3/4 OF MY HEART, WE LOVED EACH OTHER SO, SO, MUCH.
MY HEART BREAKS FOR YOU EVERY DAY.
I LOVE AND MISS YOU BEAR, DANNY

my poor bear, i rescued you from a life spent at the end of a six foot chain. i cant imagine how you survived 5 years like that. the first time i took you for a walk, all you could do was walk in circles.and then we ran so fast together that people would get out of our way, or risk getting run over by us.i miss the way you used to scream, when you knew that i was coming by my keys jingling, a half a block away.you endured abuse , indifference, neglect, and much more before i was able to finally take you home with me,for the last nine months of your life you lived like a king.i miss you baby bear.

Donna Ambrosini

My precious baby is gone from this world, but I will never forget you, or stop loving you.
Bear, you brought so much joy and happiness to my life, I will miss you forever. You are and always will be mommy's baby.

Mary

We will never forget you. You will always be our "Heffelump". Love you forever,
Mommy #1, Mommy #2, Jay, Tyson and Mojo

To my Lil Bear. I love you!!!! You were my very best friend.
My heart hurts so much from the loss of you.
I can't wait until we meet again!!!

Peg Augustine

Dear Bear Man,
Mommy misses her baby boy. I think about you all the time and it's hard to hold back the tears. You meant the world to me and it was hard to let you go. Your body just couldn't go on and I'm sorry I didn't spend more money sooner. Mommy didn't know what was best and sadly I still don't. Shi-Ann is with you now and I hope you are both together. My body will give out one day too. Please be there at the end of the light when I come. We can be together again, it will be the happiest day ever. I Love you!
See you in Heaven,
Mommy

Bear was diagnosed with lymphoma on Sept. 20th.
By Sept. 25th, we had to make the difficult decision to have Bear put to rest.
He was the best dog, and best friend I have ever had.
He will be greatly missed.

Karen Redmond

Bear was a sweet little girl with beautiful green eyes and the longest 'fangs' I'd ever seen. We were looking forward to dressing her as a vampire for Halloween. She was a "love sponge" who will always be with us <3

Kerry Allan

Bear, we hope that we chose the right time for you to go.
I can't tell you how much we love you and miss you.
You will always be in our hearts.
You were truly a gentle giant and so kind to other living creatures (in your pack that is).
I hope that you have traveled over the rainbow bridge and that I will see the flash of your red fur running through the meadows one day.
We love you dearly, our Bearie!

Jody Miles Paul Martin

We can't believe a whole year has passed. We miss you everyday, and it hasn't gotten any easier...just different. We miss your morning kisses, the way you "talked" to us when you wanted something, your absolutely silly simle that conveyed complete bliss. I miss wrapping my arms around your mane and pressing my face into your thick fur for a "Bear" hug so much it breaks my heart. Your presence in our lives changed who we were. We are so grateful that we were able to be your "parents." We will always miss you and love you. Brian and Bonnie

Bear dog had such a giant spirit for such a small dog.
He became my dog when our son had to go off to college and couldn't take him. For 8 years he was my constant companion and liked nothing more than to go for a ride with me.
He got to be the pretty-boy house dog (to the dismay of the working outdoor dogs) and never did learn to stay away from the horse's feet or the other farm equipment. We always watched out for him.
Bear, I hope I did the right thing helping you pass before the kidney disease destroyed you and your dignity. Love to you and say hello to Muddy, Abe, Taylor and all the rest of our family. You were the best!

Karen Dalton-Wemp

We lost a little girl in May 1994.
Her name was Buffie.
She was a 14 year old short hair kitty and had to be put to sleep due to having a stroke.
The house became very empty.
A few days later my wife and I decided to visit the local Humane Society.
We found the "Boys". Two 6 week old kittens that we both fell in love with.
Bear was a dark grey and Boo was a orange tabby.
Bear never gained a lot of weight and at his heaviest was about 9 lbs.
Boo became quite large...About 15 lbs.
They were both loving little guys. They loved visitors and never showed any nasty behavior regardless of what was thrown their way.
Boo had medical conditions that required medication for most of his 12 years.
He took this in stride.
We lost him to cancer in March of 2006.
3 weeks ago our little Bear was diagnosed with cancer as well. He failed very rapidly and had to put him to sleep only a few days ago.
These 2 little guys were a huge part of our family.
They were loved, loved us, will be missed and never forgotten.

Love Mommy and Dad

He was the best Bear ever and my heart is broken that he has gone. He was my special Bear.

Susan

Bear lived a long and full life as head horseman at a beautiful farm.
He will be greatly missed by his 3 Dog companions as well as his 9 horse companions but he will be missed mostly by the humans he was so faitrhful to every day.

Debbie Stocker

Bear was adopted when he was 5 years old.
we had to have our dog Hayley put down when she was 5 and 2 weeks later, Bear was given to us.
What a love & he adapted so readily to our family.
He died so suddenly, but at least we were with him in the end as he enetered the rainbow bridge.
What a loss! Our grief is so unreal.
We only had his love for 4 years, but what a wonderful 4 years it was.
He will be in our hearts forever.

Barb & Mike

A gentle giant who has left his footprints forever in our hearts.

Kathy Bigenho

Bear was a gift from my parents when I was a teen.
She saved my life.
I was a very depressed girl and simply wanted to end my life.
She gave me someone to live for and brought such joy to me.
Then when my mother passed away, she kept me and my Dad here and helped my brother to heal.
She has left a huge void in my life.
I love you, Bear!

Tracie Vidrine

To my beloved Bear, you brought great joy to my life and I will never forget you. You will always be my "baby boy". Say hi to Grampa for me, I know he was waiting for you at the Bridge.
I love you Bear and miss you so much.
Mom

Our sweet lovable lug, Bear.
We miss you so much. You gave us so much love. You were one of a kind. We are so glad to know that you are now well, happy and safe and no longer sick and in pain and that Smokie was there to welcome you and that you are together again.
Very shortly sweet little one, Yona will be joining you and Smokie and she will be looking for you to welcome her.
Take care my big buddy, Bear. You, Smokie and Yona have fun until we see you again. We miss and love you.

Lanny & Kay

Bear was my big love (90lbs)
He was my protector and loved me unconditionaly, as our pets do for us.
He had a difficult time in his last days.
It has been almost 6 months and I miss him every day. I look forward to the day that we cross the rainbow bridge together.

Lynda Graham

Bear brought love and great joy to our lives and was forever a trusted companion. We will miss you our beloved friend.
May God give you comfort and peace as you return to his kingdom.

Dean & Family

Bear has rejoined Tasha in heaven. Bear; mommy loves you so much & can't wait until we are all together again.

Cheryl Messercola

I had Bear for 13 wonderful years. He was the sweetest thing in life. I miss him terribly. I loved him just as he loved me,unconditionaly. He was there for me when my brother passed away. He was always there for me in good times and in bad.
I will always love him. He is forever in my heart.

D. Middleton

For Judy and Dad, who cared for Bear for so long,

He was a companion, loving and true
and he will always be beside you...
no matter now that he's gone.
You carry him with you as you go on.
The beautiful part of life to me,
Is that no matter where our bodies might be
Our hearts never take leave
From those whom we have known
So you must believe-
That even though Bear has gone to heaven to play
You will see him and get to hold him again-- Someday.

Love, your daughter, Magdalena Griffith and family.
Just for now , just for a time
our hearts will hold him, forever-
yours and mine.

MaMa Loves you Baby bear

Maureen Soura

I will miss you bear. you were a great dog very loving and playful, but i know your in a better place now and you will always be in my heart.

Barry

Bear was my baby and my best friend. I'm truely lost without him!

Teresia

You were only with us a few short months Bear, but oh how you claimed our hearts!
You were our best friend and we will never forget you.
We love you Bear!

Wanda Wyant

People always say that the best die young...in bears case this was exactly what happened. Our beautiful little boy who would never willingly leave his peoples sides accidentally followed a group of kids across a main road and when trying to get back to us in peak hour was hit by a car. We lost the most beautiful, loving dog in the world, who we had raised from birth as his mother had milk fever.

10 months later, we lost bears father dot, when he dug under a fence and got into a fight with a staffy/pit bull. Dot was such a naughty dog, and he didnt like alot of people, but he loved us and we loved him.

May they rest in peace xxxxxxxx

Ashley

We miss you Bear.

Zoraya

My little gift from God, he gave me love and gave me a reason for living.
He taught me how to love.
He loved me unconditionally.
He was a sweet, happy, playful, loving companion.

Julie Soleil

my dog bear was a once in a lifetime dog and he left paw prints on my heart.i am only 10 i am the same person who lost the most amazing horse traveler 5mo.and 6 da. ago they were both truely amazing pets and will never be forgotten.traveler showed me my life was horses.my school is having a thing where we write a book and they publish it and i'm doing it on how i met traveler.if you want to hear a touching story about a girl who meets her best friend from begining to temporary end(rainbow bridge still exists)you should at least look at it.

Jessi

You were my first dog and I'll always love you. I wish I had been able to take care of you in these last years, but you're at peace now. Enjoy the all-you-can-eat cookies on the bridge, I'll see you soon.

Kate Churchill

SORELY MISSED BY ALL
PAPA, WINNIE,TEDDY,AND JACKSON

Bear was my best friend for 15 years. Even after 20 years in the army, the hardest thing I ever have done was to watch the life go out of his eyes as his suffering stopped. I know it was the right thing for him, but I can't help but feel that I let him down, failed him in some way. It will never go away.

Kj Ullfers

Today Bear fell and broke her neck. she is no longer with us. My heart s really broken and tomorrow is the day that I had my Boppy put to sleep. Bear will be bared in the back yard with my daughters cat. I am so heart broken right now.

Rest in peace my Sweet one. Mommy loves you

Terry Muse

A loyal friend and companion for fourteen years passed away on 2/28/2008 from complications of cancer.
Bear was loved by everyone that met him.
He was courageous to the end and tried so hard to fight his illness.
He will be missed greatly but his loyalty and love will live forever in my heart.
He was a one-of-a-kind dog that can never be replaced.
Rest in peace Bear as someday we will meet at the Rainbow Bridge.

Donnie Lee

Bear was certainly the sweetest dog anyone could ever want. He was patient and kind and never growled or showed anger toward anyone. He loved long walks and car rides and all manner of treats!
I cannot begin to say how much I loved him. He was a special boy and I certainly do hope he will be waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge!

David and Kay Hobbs

all the years you spend loving and caring for a dog that you train, that you put in so much time and energy to be rewarded with titles, ribbons, and legs. The sweat in the summer months, and the chilling cold days in the winter just to get in some training for your next test. (Boy do I remember those days so well. ) Waiting in the rain for your number to be called to run your dog or dogs. And after finishing your day collecting your ribbons at the club house. But the most rewarding part of all that work, is that, at the end, when your riding in your car, and you have your best friend laying next to you in the passenger seat, you look at each other and he lays his or her head on your lap, and all you can think to each other is... What a great team we both made. That makes it all worth it. I can remember a moment just like that with Bear. That will be forever in my memory. Bear survived the surgery and I bought myself 6months to a year, and I would do it again and again and again. I would rather he die with the cancer then because of it. I adore that dog as if he were my son.

Wilma Belardo-Shaffrey

Bear was the best.
I miss him still.
I have never met another soul that made my soul come to life like his did.
I rescued him and saved his life .. But he saved me in so many ways, I will always be grateful to him.
I look forward to seeing his beautiful face, his rippling coat and the smile he always had for me ...
racing towards me some day, over the bridge.

All people should be as lucky as I have been to have someone like him.

I posted this link so you can see how beautiful he is.

Robin Badley

There is no way to describe the loss and hurt that I feel from Bears passing.
The last hours of his life were unbearable to watch.
I've cried a million tears.
I love you and miss you dearly Bear.

Anita

Bear was a great friend to me and my son Chris.
He will always be with me in spirit. I remember our nightly walks and the expressions as he listened to my problems and joys.

We miss you Bear

We love and miss you Big Brute!!!
Rest in peace.

Scott and Tracy Brendorfer

Bear was more than just a dog he was my best friend. He was smart and loyal and loving.I'm 12 years old and my mom says that my first word I ever sain was Bear. I loved him more than anything in the world. Now that he's gone I miss him so much.

Leslie Mott

I gave Bear his wings after 3 years of fighting Congestive Heart Failure.

Bear was a very special dog who had a unique talent for understanding the needs of his human counter parts.
He was my soulmate, my bestfriend, my partner and my friend.
I will always remember him with a smile and a tear.
I love you Bear.
I miss you like my own breath. Rest easy until we meet again at the Rainbow bridge.
Your Momma Always and Furever.

Jessi

Bear: Mommy, Daddy and Robbie miss you each and every day. You were such a loving, loyal family member. We will never forget all the love and happiness you brought to our home. I will never forget the hug and kisses you gave me the morning of the day you died. I hope you know how much you were loved (and still are.) We look forward to meeting you again at Rainbow Bridge.
Love,
Mommy

To My Precious Boy,
There are no words to describe the grief & the pain that I feel right now.
Bear-Bear, you were THE ABSOLUTE BEST friend that I ever had. The bond that we have cannot be broken by death. I miss you so much. Your unconditional love & loyalty were unbelievable. I will see you very soon. I love you more than anything else in the entire universe. I'm sure you have found "Red" by now. Please give him a big lick and let him know Mama loves and misses him too. I love you baby.

Cindy Weber

Oh my fuzzy Bear-Bear. You were truly the sweetest, gentlest and most communicative cat I have ever known.

I'll carry this image through life: 'You look up at me with your big almond-shaped orange eyes and you meow several times. You rub against my leg and your tail curves into an s-shape and quivers as you begin to purr loudly (like a motor-boat).'

This house isn't the same without you underfoot meowing for attention. You were a unique and remarkable cat. I have your collar on my wrist as I write this. I miss you. I love you Bear.

Your Kitty Mama, Kim

You were a great companion Bear. My sweet Bear Bear mommy misses you and my life will never be the same. Its lonly here w/o you. Im eager for the day we meet again. Thank you for comforting me all those years. Snuggling with me every night, licking and sometimes bitting my nose, your purr that put my anxiety at ease.
Till we meet again
Love Mommy

Thank you for your humor, honor, and love.

Beth Vandoren

Bear Bear

Everday you are on our minds even though it's been four years you were loved and your memory cherished you are not forgotten the hurt eases but does not go away. Glenn and Marion may we meet again.

Glenn and Marion Iverson

Bear-Bear was a wonderful cat..very gentle and sweet.
Even people who didn't like cats fell in love with him.
Bear-Bear had a teddy bear face with a black and silver body and he loved being outdoors, catching mice or just laying in the sun on the porch.

I'm glad I could be with you at the end and hope that you are now pain free and you are with Toes, Patchie, Cynthia and Ginger lying in the green grass and sunning yourselves.
Your brother, Pookie, misses you very much.

Isabelle Connor

Bear-Bear was my heart.
She was the most affectionate and loving animal.
Even though her early years were bad she had a most fulfulling life.
She was loved and cherished by both myself and her little brother Teddy.
He adored his older sister.
She was his teacher and his constant companion until God called her home on Mother's Day.
She passed of a congenital heart problem but that puppy had the most loving and giving heart of any puppy that I have ever seen.
She was my protector and my companion.
She took care of me through many surgeries and was a constant source of unconditional love.
She is in my constant thoughts and prayers and will be remember and cherished the rest of my life.
She will always hold a very special place in my heart that will never be filled until we meet again at the "Rainbow Bridge."

Lyn

an almost-perfect spirit in a black cheerful, goofy dog.I'm sorry you had to suffer with cancer before you went--you should have been able to bounce off into the great beyond, as befits your wonderful spirit. We all miss you, Bubba Bonz.

Irene

Bear was my best friend for over 13 years and I miss her so much. She helped me through so many tough times and created so many good times. I was lucky that she stayed with me for so long. Please wait for me, Bear. Mommy will be there soon.

Lynn Carlson

Bear was my buddy !
He wanted just to please us and be a loving member of our family(which he was)You left us unexpectedly and with total surprise.
But you left in your sleep, for which I am glad,
for you had no apparent pain. You will be sorely missed !!
We loved you Bear, very very much.

Michael and Verna Fitzgerald

You had a job to do...you found me and I found you.
You helped me on my journey,and now I must help you.
Your soul ran deep...deeper than any stream.
Your heart was golden. Your life's light, the strongest beam.
Wait for me sweet Bear-sky until I make it there.
Your job here is finished. You earned a Hero's prayer.
God bless you my dearest friend, wherever you are.
I look up in the heavens and I see your bright star.
My heart is broken, but it beats still. My Bear was my heartbeat...and forever will.
I kiss you goodnite, oh so gently
Sleep well my heart...and wait for me.

Karen Schowalter Cooper

You will be missed!!! you were the best dog we have ever had, and we will always love you.

Liz & AJ Stickney

I can't imagine my life now without Bear.
He has meant so much to me.
I looked forward to getting home each day because he would run to the door to greet me.
He was a very talkative cat as well and I am already noticing the silence.
I loved him with all my heart.

Cindy Wilson

Bear
Oh my gosh, what's this I see?
Another two legged creature standing over me.
Maybe, this time, I'll be the one,
As I have watched my litter mates go, one by one.

At ten weeks old, I know nothing of humans,
But I'm going to like this one, at least I'm assuming'
She knows how to love me and keep me safe from harm,
And I know, with this one, I'll be happy and warm.

My Mom loves to go to the beach and so do I,
So much freedom and peace under the clear, sunny sky.
I'd rather do nothing than play in the sun,
Long walks, lots of love, and I just romp and run.

Tonight, as we do my next favorite thing,
Which is taking a walk, I'm so happy I could sing.
Please let me take Mom’s leash in my mouth,
I can walk her ... which way? ... North or South?

Gee, Mom this is fun, but I'm so tired,
I can't seem to walk, my feet seem to be mired,
Just let me rest for a minute, I plead,
I'll be ready to go real soon, your voices to heed.

What's wrong? Why can't I get up and play?
Mom's crying so hard, I hate seeing her this way.
She's holding me and I want to tell her its okay,
But Rainbow Bridge is calling me this day.

As we ride in the car on the way to the vet,
I become more tired, still hiding the pain but yet,
I wish I could stay with my mom of mine,
Fifteen years is just not enough time!

It is at Rainbow Bridge I now wait,
And when my mom finally comes to the gate,
I will be whole again, and so will she,
In the meantime, I just wait for that glorious day.

Vickie Gleich

Our home lost it's heartbeat our dear BearBear we love and miss you and our hearts will never again be filled.

It was truly a pleasure being owned by a big, goofy, red dog.
You were our friend for 15 years and we miss you.
Your kitty, Groucho misses you too.

Trevor and Julie

Although his speech has been quieted here on Earth, his voice will rise in Heaven and he will speak to our hearts forever...

Raymond and Rachael Sharma

Beast was the most handsome, loyal, loving, noble, courageous, selfless animal I have ever known.
He has inspired me, changed me, taught me.
I am eternally grateful for all that he has done for my family.
He will forever live on in our hearts, our minds, and our souls.
He will always be a part of us.

Rebecca McDaniel

We Love You Beast. Rest With Sassy Now...

Reyes Family

Beast was the most loving and loyal dog I have ever known. He will be sadly missed by all of us who had the joy of loving him.

Karolyn Simpson

Beastie (as she is known affectionately)was my best friend and partner for 14 years.
She was the only one who truly experienced what I did during those years.
We passed many milestones together...we were a team.
She was what I looked forward to everytime I came home.
She loved me unconditionally.
Every nite she would curl up under my arm in bed.
Even after I married and added a husband and two children to the bed, she had her spot where she came to sleep with me every night. My heart is breaking as I go on in life without my Beastie Girl.
I love her and miss her.
She was an amazing cat.

Kimberly Jeter

We have lost the most gentle, handsome kitty, to diabetes.
It came on so fast, overwhelmed him and us.
Beau, you traveled the U.S., Canada and Mexico with us for over 17 years, and have left so many beautiful memories to us.
We still love you so very much and would love to hear you run through the house.
Until we meet you and your sister at Rainbow Bridge....
Rose and Bill

We miss you Beau.
Keep Caesar, Josephine, Shane and now Misha company.

Karen Johnson

Beau (Bobo) was my sister's dog.
He raised her two children, loved to play and never had a harsh word for anyone.
He was a truly loved member of the family by all.
He passed from cancer late October.
I pray he is at the Rainbow Bridge and will be waiting for her when she arrives.

Carol Hirsch

Beau to me was the best dog in the world.
He was gentle to babies, loved kids and was completely devoted to me.
He demanded to be walked morning and evening and sometimes in between.
He loved car rides, treats and laying on top of the couch looking out the window.
It was almost as if he knew when it was time for me to come home.
I had him in my life for almost 15 years and he is sadly missed.
My life will never be the same now that he is gone ... I miss you Beau.

Joyce Miller

Good-by my good boy, don't be afraid just follow your brother and he will help you.

Joyce Kuhr

Our beautiful Beau, How we all miss you! Our hearts are broken, our hearts ache for you. If love were to save you, you still would have been with us now. Just one last hug, one last kiss...a perfect gentleman you were, brave heart to the very last second. We miss you chop, and know you will be waiting for us and we will cross over the bridge together with you. Until then, stay free, happy and loved. B, Luke, Alexis and Isaac, Moses, Linx, Tiger, Jazmi and Ally.xoxoxoxox

My sweet, sweet Beau.
Mommy is really having a hard time without you.
You weren't suppose to go so soon.
9 years is just not enough time with you, but daddy and I could not let you suffer anymore.

I miss you so much - I miss you greeting me at the door when I come home; I miss your howllo; I miss you bumping me to pet you; I just miss you.
When daddy and I hear the sirens now, there is no more howling at them.
Look for your cousin Sadie.
She's been waiting for a playmate, so I hope the 2 of you have a blast running and playing together.

I love you my big boy, and miss you.

Mary Beth Froese

Beau you're a beautiful dog. You never barked, bit and you were mellow yellow. You lived 10 great years and we'll miss you dearly. I hope you're having an awesome time up there!

Peace

Zach, Molly, Jeff, Betsy

Beau was my best friend for 10 1/2 years.
I love and miss him so much--he was like my child but never harsh or critical.
We were so blessed to have him for almost 11 years.

I fervently hope to see him again some day.
I am so sorry I was away when he got sick and died.
Even though it would not have changed anything, I might have brought him comfort.
The house is empty without him.

Cyndi Gillaspie

For our dearest Beau: We miss you more than anyone can imagine. We'll see you at the Bridge my "biggest, best dog"!

Mary Jo

I miss you BeauBeau and it's hard to know what to do without you here.
Now that you are gone I have no one to lick away my tears so they just keep falling down. I hope you feel better now.
I love you!

Lauren Hiatt

You came to us at the age of 6, after being passed around like an old sweater. For 3 years you gave us love, loyalty, and companionship. We lost you at 7:05 a.m. after a battle with cancer.
We were with you at your side when you crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
You are no longer in pain and are with your cousins Kody and Fritzi, playing and running through the meadow.
Though you are no longer with us in body, you are in our hearts in spirit.
There will never be another Beau.

Love,
Daddy & Keith

Beau was our son, Michael's, special present on his 10th birthday, and we loved him for 16 wonderful years.
He would "smile" to greet you and was friends with everyone - male, female, dog, cat, it didn't matter to Beau.
We will miss him terribly and there will never be a pet in our lives that will be any more beloved.

Donna

Sweet little tumbleweed. You left us way too soon. We miss you daily, and even though you are not here, you still make us smile when we remeber your antics. You are loved and will always be in our hearts. Sleep sweet, and I will see you at the bridge.

Debby Damrell

I miss you when you sleep and you are the best thing I ever got!!!!!
EVER!!!!!
thank you for letting me have you.
I LOVE YOU BEAU!!!!

Theresa

Beau, thank you for the joy you brought into our lives. You healed us with your love, and were our "little boy." God sent you as a blessing for which we will always be grateful.

Dolores Zonca

Beaubear was truely a Gentle Giant.

Philip & Beverly Todd

Rhonda

We loved you, Beau for eighteen wonderful years. We will see you and all your buddies when we cross that bridge together.

Candy & Sonny Davila

Gone but not forgotten.

Steve Kolwicz

What a sweet and loving furry friend, he is sadly missed by all.

Joann

Beau was "my heart." He was a Rescue. Dumped on the highway at approximately 9 mos. of ago. Starving,only 3 1/2 lbs., full of worms and fleas, but oh what a little fighter he was! He thought he was a Great Dane. He brought us so much love and joy for almost 16 yrs. and I still miss him so. I know he is happy and well now. No longer blind or deaf and no more strokes. His ashes were scattered at a pet cemetary in San Francisco. He will always be in sunshine that he loved so much.

Chris Yust

Our Dearest Beauregard who gave endlessly of himself to his family by his unconditional love, devotion and adoration. Beau was our source of light at the end of a long day, his tail wagging continually no matter how tired he was.
His greetings to his family meant the world to us. We wish we could have done something to keep him a little longer with us. His passing was so sudden, we were unable to cope with our loss. We pray he is happily playing ball with all his friends in heaven.

The Scapellato Family

Beau will live on in my heart forever.
I love you xoxoxo

Joan

Beau was the beloved bassett mix dog of the Blankenship family. He belonged to Amber Blankenship but lived with her Mom Karen when he died. He dearly loved Karen's second husband Michael Pittsley who always showed him such kindness. You were always loved and are so sorely missed sweet little Beau.

Dearly missed, always loved, and never forgotten

Autumn and Patte

You were with us for only a short while, we grew to love during that short time, You are very much missed.

Julie Armstrong

I miss my Beauty so much, had kidney insuffiency for one year gave her iv at home, then her lungs filled with fluids and there was no more to be done to help her. I miss you so much Beau!!!!!!!!!!!

Donna

i will always love you you my little Beauty Cat....
you just wanted to be outside in the sunshine...you did not know the danger...sweet kitty

Carey

I was lucky enough to find Beaux on Halloween night 1995.
I went to look at a litter of puppies and picked him.
He was the cutest boy I have ever seen and so full of energy.
Unfortunately Beaux was not blessed with good healh but we did all we could to make sure he had proper care and medicine.
He lost his battle with stomach cancer on June 23, 2006.
He would have been 11 years old that August.
I know I am blessed to have had him for the time I did as the vets always said he would not see double digits but he did.
I miss him terribly every day and a year and half later his absence is a huge void.
We have 2 new german shepherds that I rescued this past year.
They are wonderful but they are not Beaux.
I know I'll never forget him and miss him every day.
Some days more than others....I truly know I will find him again some day.
I guess it's hard to really talk about him to others as people think I'm nuts for still feeling the sadness of that long horrific day.
The decision to stop his suffering was the hardest decision I have ever made in my 41 years.
God Bless my Beaux.

Toni Lacorazza

My little Beba,

You were the best little dog anyone could ever have. You were so loved my many and always put a smile on all who met you. I could see you now, the cute little face with your tail wagging...always there when I came to the door, always ready for kisses and hugs. Your mom Mina misses you. My mom misses you. We all do. I know that you suffered in the end but you didn't want to show it. You were strong until the end. You had so many lives--so many close calls...and God gave you to us for 12 years. I wish it could have been many more years but now you're at peace. When I close my eyes I can still feel you. I want that memory to remain with me always. I know that one day I'll see you again. I will ask God to see you again. I know that your energy is somewhere--energy never ceases and you are running around free. We miss you.

Liz Garcia Locascio

Bebe was our first dog in the family, He was so smart and a proud dog. Always so happy. We miss him so much. I know is somewhere and happy! But he will always be missed and in our hearts for ever.

Cindy

Bebe you were a very sweet special girl and I'm going to miss you so much.

Sharon Moore

We shared so much love and companionship. I thank you for your love.

Joan Brown

I'm so sorry Beck, I am having a hard time here without you we all miss you so much.
I will never forget you.
Mom

Becky was our beloved beautiful Cat, that we cherish and loved very much. We miss and mourn her so much but glad she's in no more pain and in peace with the rest of the dogs & Cats in enternal Life . We loved and miss her so.

Patti & Judy Sage

My darling Becky. I will love you always.
Mummy X

We had to put our beloved Becky to sleep and it's the hardest thing we've ever had to do. Becky was a wonderful pet. She was more like a child than a dog. We are so heartbroken that she is gone. She has been with us for 12 years and we still hear her and feel her presence.
She had a great life and our life was better because of her.
Rest in Peace our baby girl.

Clint and Joan Walker

Becky was a special gift that came into my life for only one and a half years. It was not known how old she was or why her original people chose to give her up.
As soon as I saw her I felt drawn to her. I started the adoption process that day, and she was with me from June 28, 2006 until 5 days ago. She brought me so much joy, I can only hope she she knew how deeply loved she was.

Barbara

Our precious Becky dog loved life and lived every moment to its fullest. She was the most enthusiastic, intelligent, sensitive, funny, playful, cute, loving and loyal companion anyone could ever hope for. At times, she thougt that she as the fiercest cockapoo in the West.

Above all, Becky was joyful. She taught us to find joy in every moment and every thing around us. We loved her with all our hearts.

Annette Mercurio

To my furry angel,
You have gone on to a pain free world where you can run in the park, chase squirrels and play with other dogs.
I am so filled with grief right now that it is very hard knowing I will never kiss and pet you again. You brought me so much joy and happiness, nothing will every replace that. You were always a good girl and I will miss coming home to somebody that thought I was the most important person in the world. I will always love you and you will always be in my heart.
Rest my friend.

Carol

Becky was a dog who brought much joy to this family.
She was a family member, not a dog.

Dick and Kim

Thank you for being such a wonderful dog, friend and companion for the past 13 years.
I hope you know how much you were loved and how hard it was for me to let you go.
I 'll see you again when I pass the rainbow bridge and I'll run to you with open arms!

Holly Fraga

My beautiful Bedrock we miss you terribly and love you so much. You gave us so much happiness. I think about you all the time. I am so sad not to have you with me anymore. There is never enough time to spend with someone who gave you so much joy. Know that we love you forever and will always miss you. I know your with Pebbles and Bam Bam and you are playing and happy to be together.. I will never forget you.

Jacky Borriello

It has been 7 months since you left me. Bee-Bee i think of you every single day. I miss your loving eyes and sweet talk you did with me. You were and are my best friend.

Claudia Wissler

BEETHOVEN,
OH HOW I MISS MY SWEET LITTLE BOY!! TOMORROW WILL BE 3 WEEKS, AND THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OF YOU---I CARY YOU NOT ONLY IN MY HEART, BUT ALSO ON MY CELL PHONE, AND IN MY POCKET.
YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME.
YOU GIVE ME SO MUCH INSPIRATION, AND I REALIZE HOW MUCH I MISS NOT HAVING YOU HERE PHYSICALLY.
I HOPE YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF CHLOE--SHE NEEDS HER OLDER COUSIN TO LOOK AFTER HER.
LOVE YOU,
MOMMY

Beethoven was the best little brother/dog a person could have. He was more like a best friend than a pet. We were so lucky to have been able to have him for all these years. We will be waiting to see him on the other side.

Megan

May the memories of our beloved Berner live forever in our broken hearts.
His passing has left a whole in our hearts that will never be healed.

Lydia

Beethoven was such a special cat.
Good-bye sweetie. I'll love you forever.

Kathy Schalow

Beethoven was my furry baby. I got him as a newborn kitty when I was only 16 years old, and have had the pleasure of his companionship for 16 years. He was loved very much and meant everything to me. A piece of me died the day he had to be put to sleep. He was the best cat I could have ever had the pleasure of living with and I loved him deeply. I still love him and will always hold a special place in my heart. He was my buddy through college, divorce, and remarriage. He loved to interrupt my school work or lay on my books that I was trying to read. When he was a baby he loved shredding paper, especially notebook paper with his teeth. He had an affinity to licking magazines and my paperback novels. He acknowledged people he cared for with a head nod and on occasion a "nah" sort of verbal greeting. He enjoyed scratching my baskets (wicker furniture) and his scratching post. He loved his treats and expected them as soon as I woke up, and when I returned from work each day. I was told that he had me trained well and I have to agree that he did. I miss him greatly and have a deep void in my heart. I will never forget him or the wonderful memories he gave me.

Gina Schmidt

To my darling Begbyson who has been with me through thick and thin. Such a character from day one - you do not know how much you will be missed. You will always have a special place in my heart and one day you'll find me again. Until then - Mum will look after you.
Take care my little angel and thank you for being so loyal, loving and faithful.

All my love always

Karen & Baby Grace
xxxxx

Beiger, your are missed so much by us. You were so gentle and so loyal. Everybody that visited would ask where Beiger is or would just love on you. You are one of a kind kitty to your personality and color. You will be forever missed Beiger!

Donna & Chris

John Adams

WE WILL ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH WE ARE ALL MISSING YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY

An excellent dog of two very good friends. He left us so suddenly, so silently.

Mercedes y Diego

Bell I miss you

Kay

Our time together was short. Just know mommy will always love!!! Thank you, Bella for being my friend.

Ashley

Bella, my sweet old Bella.
You were the favorite of the grandchildren and the fierce protector of me, your mom.
I rescued you when no one else wanted an old dog.
You and I had an immediate connection from the moment I saw you at L.A. Boxer Rescue and you came home with me that day.
I promised you a life of boxer luxury for the time you had left and in turn, you gave us 4-1/2 years of amazement and wonder.
You thrived with us, your old coat glowing in the sun.
You taught 3 grandchildren how to walk, supporting the unsteady toddlers with their arms around your neck.
You were totally patient with them, never taking their food from their little hands.
Then, when I thought I had seen it all, you took over the mothering of 4 boxer puppies when their mother gave them up at 3 weeks of age.
I saw then your joy of being a mother yourself.
Thank you, Bella, for all you gave us.
We will always love and miss you.

Bette Jo Nunn

Bella I miss you so my friend.
I know you feel my love for you still.
Hercules has left us baby girl and he needs you to watch over him at the bridge.
Watch over him Bella like you did when you were both here.
He needs you now.
I will see you both again one day - stay together until then.

Tina-Marie Patael (Downs)

Bella, my beautiful angel face I miss you so very much. I never imagined the loss and heartache I would feel at this time. Your passing has left a huge hole in my heart that I am trying to fill with so many wonderful memories of you. Thank you for being our beautiful friend. You will forever be loved and missed. Rest in comfort and peace. I look forward to being with you again.

John

Bella's life was shortened due to kidney disease.
We tried our best to save her, but in the end made the most loving decision to let her go.
It would have been wrong for us to prolong her struggle in order to delay our grief.
We miss her terribly and face difficult days ahead as her loss becomes real to us.
We will never forget her and in time will find comfort in our memories.

Dave and Cindy

TO OUR DAUGHTER
BELLA
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS AND SOUL FOREVER. YOU WERE TAKEN TOO FAST, BUT YOUR ANGEL SAID YOUR PILLOW IS READY FOR YOU AND YOU NEED TO COME WITH ME IT IS YOUR TIME TO FEEL NO MORE PAIN. SHE SAID I WILL TAKE AWAY ALL YOUR CANCER AND MAKE YOU BETTER. PLAY NICE, SHARE YOUR TOYS, DON'T HOG THE HOSE
WE MISS YOU SO DEARLY
LOVE
MOMMY/DADDY/SUZIE/UJALIO/BRUZIER/JAZZABELL

Bella died aged one, the same as my other cat Izzy. Bella had just turned one. She was also unique and gorgeous. She would give me kisses and the gently nudge on my hand to be happy, also the way she smiled, she would sleep on my bed next to me, and to feel my body heat, go under the duvet and crawl up next to my leg. Both her and Izzy were killed on the main road outside my house. I would give anything to have them both back. They still mean the world to me, forever in my heart, never leaving it for one second, never will, and when I go to heaven, they will be waiting for me.. just waiting.

Betsy

I miss you so much my sweet angel. My heart breaks everyday for you. We will be together again someday. Look out for me coming over the rainbow bridge

Victoria Savage

Bella's time with us was cut short, but her memory will live on.
Bella you might of been timid, but you were unique to us especially in your final days.
We will never have another special friend like you were to us.
We are sorry that we couldn't help you Bella.
We hope that we didn't cause you any pain and we know now that it was the best for you.
You will be with Kitty Kitty now and forever.
We love you and will miss you.

William and Astrid Weaver

your always loved and missed even more

Melissa Davis

Bella,
We all miss you espically me your momma. I miss the sound of your little paws on the floor and you sitting in the bathroom while I bathed. I miss you so much. Our time together was so short it wasn't even a month. The stupid cyotes got you and I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I hope you knew how much I loved you. I miss you so much and these days are just so hard to get through. You were only 8 months old. You didn't even make it to a year. I hope you enjoyed the last few days of your life and I will always love and miss you. You will always be momma's baby girl.

Love, Mommy

My Baby Bella ,my cute one ever,

To my Baby Bella,

Today is your 2 month Bridge Day. I miss you more than ever. I love you so very much. life is just not the same without you. I want you back so very badly.

Shari Sullivan

i got bella at a flea market in florida when i first moved there, i moved back to kentucky a year later, and he sadly lost one of his claws, which broke my heart, but he got around very well
i never locked him in his cage, he quickly learned to talk and mock my laugh. he would always meet me at the door with a whistle and would spend the rest of the evening with me.he flew into my hands last night and passed away.i will always miss you my baby blue bird.

Stephen Brinley

I love you Bella, and will miss you always.
You passed way before your time and wished you were still here to be the new baby's and still my doggy.

Adam Cavarretta

To my precious baby Bella. I love you more than life itself. I am lost here without you. I want you back, lala. I miss you and am still devastated with your passing on. I love you with all of my heart. I love you sweetie.

Shari Sullivan

BELLA WAS THE MOST WONDERFULLY KIND AND GENTLE DOG IN THE WORLD. WE ADOPTED HER WHEN SHE WAS TEN AND WE LOVED HER EVERY MINUTE UNTIL SHE LEFT US.
REST IN PEACE MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,

Hillary McGowan

Our sweet Belles until we meet again

Deb Belasco

Bella

You were loved by so many, but most of all by your mama. I will miss your loving kisses, the sparkle in your eye, and the wonderful spirit that you had. Our time together was too short. I will never ever forget all the joy you brought into my life. I will love you forever. I miss you.

Love Mama

For my sweet beautiful little girl.
I love you so much and my heart aches. This is my first day without you.
I miss you.

Gina Marie Smith

My Sweet Bella,

Riley and I miss you so much. Our hearts are broken. You were so full of life and love right up until the end. I am sorry I couldn't even say good-bye to you. I am sorry I wasn't there for you. I should have been stronger. Please forgive me...

Mamma



I had to let Bella go today.
She bravely fought cancer for the last 4 months.
I adopted her when she was six and four years was never enough time.
I miss her already and I loved her very much.

Jessie Yerkic

Our sweet Bella angel, our rescued pug love, we will never forget you.
You have truly placed a paw print on our hearts.
We miss you terribly.
You were too young to leave us.
Love, Your Family & Chloe (your sister Pug)

Bella was fine yesterday, and this morning couldn't move.
We took her to the emergency clinic where we were informed she had a heart murmur and a blood clot went to her brain.
There was nothing anyone could do for her, except give her peace.
We are so shocked and saddened by her sudden death!
We will love and miss her always.

Theresa Friedrichsen

You were the best dog we could have ever asked for. You brought us such joy & happiness and we will always remember the good times we were lucky enough to share with you. May you now rest in peace our sweet baby,until we meet again.

Love,

Your family

Bella was my beautiful little girl who celebrated her 15th birthday a month before she passed. Bella had a seizure the day before she died. I was blessed to have been holding her when she had her seizure and held her when our vet helped us to end her suffering. Bella was a total joy. I told her what a good girl she was and thanked her for filling my heart with so much love. I told her my Mom who had passed in 12/06 would take care of her. My Bella my heart.

Jeanmarie Petrino

our dear sweet baby girl you were are whole life.nothing is the same any more with you gone.you were the best dog ever,i couldnt wait to get home to you every day after work.....your not here anymore so i dont even want to come home.our house is so empty now.I love you so much.And miss you even more.You were such a dear sweet precious baby to us.I so miss our HAPPY BIRTHDAY song everynite.And then when i said are you hungry and you did your dinner dance every nite.I try to sing to Chloe now but its not the same no one greets me like you .I so miss you !My Dear sweet Baby girl .LOVE YOU FOREVER YOUR MAMA.

Bella has only been gone 2 weeks; it feels like forever and just yesterday, all at the same time. She was the light of our lives, and one of two labs that are memebers of our family. Our 18 month old son still calls for her and kisses her picture every day. It's so hard to believe that she is no longer with us physically, though we can feel her presence everywhere. We will eagerly await when we can meet her again at Rainbow Bridge. In the meantime, we have our precious memories...

Angela Felker

Today my Bella went to heaven. Bella was the sweetest dog, so full of energy and love. Bella could dance, give kisses, shake hands. She loved sleeping in the bed and car rides. Bella loved playing in the grass, going for walks and taking baths. Weve been through rough times and when you got Valley Fever we fought it to the end. Though the disease crippled you, you always had love for me. You always were obediant and protective. Im sorry I had to let you go and I am happy to know you are pain free and in heaven. I am happy to know you can run and play like you used to. Bella and me had been to the vets numerouse times and I know you hated that place, and now you never have to go back. No more shots, no more medicines, no more sickness and pain my Bella. You
are free now and I cant wait to see you again. I know you will be waiting with Beaster and all the animals and I know you will watch over me here. Me, Gilbert, Buddy and Princess all miss you and love you and never will forget you.

I love you my bella, my beebop my sweet beebee!

May 28, 2000-November 19, 2007

Dear Bella,

I miss you so much I can’t even tell you. I miss waking up and you being there, I miss coming home from work and seeing you the first thing was always most important. I would pick you up and cradle you like a baby while you looked up at me and wondered why does he like carrying me like this…I miss looking into your brown eyes… your Scottie eyebrows and your unique bony ridge on the top of your head. I loved your “turned-out” front legs and your powerful little jumper legs. I will miss grooming you; you would always be so tolerant with me even though I didn’t always know what I was doing. I loved giving you the Scottie cut. And, how about the teeth brushing… you always tolerated it so well even though I know it must have “tickled” the inside part of your teeth. I will miss the walks around the block and neighborhood; people would always comment how beautiful you were. I agree. Do you remember the winter where we walked around the entire sub-division- you were such a trooper. How about going “bye-bye” in the car wasn’t that the best…remember when you would see another dog or animal, you would get so excited. I remember the time I took you to Village Green Park and you felt so “free” running. And remember the “kitty” and mousy, they were your antagonist. When we played giggly wiggly or ball you were the best… I could never catch you. And how about those “friends” you would make the “mean” face toward. I think James taught you to do that. I’ll always remember when you came home the first time, James and Alyssa were so excited to have a pet. I remember as a puppy you had one ear up and one down, and you had this funny little gait where you would flop your hind legs when walking. I remember when you got sick as a puppy, that was so sad to see you like that with your head down and I knew you didn’t feel good. I remember you didn’t want your blankie in the crate with you. I’m so glad that we found out what was making you ill. You where like a different little doggie after that. We would take you to the ball games until you were over=protective with that little girl and chomped that guys arm. Bella, I don’t know why you got sick and had to go through those hard times. I would have done anything to try to make you feel better… you were so strong, rallying time after time. I remember praying that the Bicom would miraculously cure you and you would go back to your happy self. Some day you’ll have to tell me if it helped you at all. You were so happy to see Kathy for the treatment I guess it was worth it…Bella, I hope that it truly was your time; I somewhat felt pressured with the decision but I sensed that you were in a great deal of pain and discomfort, you know that I wanted to be with you more than anything but I didn’t want you to suffer. I will always remember when I would carry you up the stairs and press my cheek up against your back and shoulders; I would pray that the cancer would go away.

Love, Dad

You will live forever in my heart, my little angel.

Brittany

Please bless my little Bella. I love her and miss her.

Susan Allan

Bella you where the best dog we ever had. I know you are not hurting anymore. You are at the Rain Bow Bridge. All our love to you.

mary and Jay

I rescued Bella from Animal Control & before that my Bella lived 10 years of sheer hell... Forced to produce puppies without any vet care... Fighting for just a nibble of food... Her little body just riddled with tumors & cysts, cloudy eyes, hard of hearing, teeth so infected she could barely eat, dirty & matted... When she crawled up into my lap that very first time & looked at me with her big bug eyes, she took my heart & I took her home...

She didnt have to fight for food... She lounged around all day being lazy... Sunned herself in the backyard on warm days... Cooled her belly off on the tile when she was to hot... Pranced like a young pup when she was fresh from the groomers...

It just all cought up to her much to fast... I am so sorry I didnt find her sooner & take her from the hell that she had been in... Im grateful that I was able to give her 3 years of the love she deserved... Bella brought me so much love, laughter & smiles...

Bella will forever be in my heart...

Misty

RIP my beautiful Bella Blue. Your blue eyes & your sweet nature will be sorely missed. Say hello to Riefer for me when you get to the Bridge. You'll forever be my BooBoo Girl :) I love you.

Cliff and I had a dog, which I bought a few months after we started dating....................a cute little Boxer which we aptly named Bella.
She picked us, literally.
I remember walking to the litter of pups, and she pushed her way through her brother and sisters and waddled her way to me.............the rest they say is history.
After the challenging ordeal of potty training (for her, it took a little longer than most) she blossomed into an adult dog, one that was well behaved, well mannered, precious, had a VERY unique personality, and who became such a huge part of our family.
She was a member of our family in every way.........always there and was a great famiy oriented dog......she loved to play (mainly with squeaky toys).....let me tell you this dog could ruin a squeaky toy in seconds flat..........she LOVED to squeak it.
She loved our son, and has been with him since he was born, and when he would cry as a baby, we would put her in his room and he would stop immediately, and that continued till her last day.
She ADORED children and playing with a child would absolutely make her day.
She would play ball with jake and cliff, sort of like monkey in the middle and try and get the ball from them, whether it be a baseball or a football..............she talked.....YES, she talked............... Let me delve ino that one further...........Boxers are known for being talkative, but she would literally "Roo", like Chewbacca from Star Wars........and when she would get disciplined or scolded, she was like a teenager, she had to have the last word.
When she wanted something, she would talk and let us know.
It became who she was and I feel we will never find that again with any other dog. She had these cute little button eyes, and this adorable frumpy face that was so precious, and she had this way of helping us when she knew we were sick, sad, or just wanted to goof off.
She followed us around in the house, watched every move we made.
She adored us, as we did her.
She was our best friend, one who loved and cared for us unconditionally.
She was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder, which hit her like a ton of bricks, and it was a whirlwind of emotions that Cliff and I felt.
We thought she might be able to have some more time on this earth, but yesterday her life ended all too soon.............almost 7 years old, she was still young and had more life to live in our eyes.
She wagged her little nub till she took her last breath...........and fought it till the end, as she did not want to leave her family here on earth.
Bella knew she was very sick, but she loved our family dearly, as we loved and adored her, and we knew she would be better off, not having to suffer any longer, and I knoe deep down inside, even though it hurt for everyone to say goodbye, she knew she would have a better quality of life in Heaven, not in pain any longer. I have had pets put to sleep before, who were very ill in the past, but this one was different, SHE was different, and we cried all night long..............our hearts torn up and missing our dear friend Bella.

Below is a BEAUTIFUL poem that was given to us from the vet's office.
The author is unknown, but the words of this poem give hope to those who have lost a precious pet, a pet that was just as much a part of the family as a human being.
Bella, we love and miss you and will NEVER forget you!
Bella, we know you are in a better place; you were the epitomy of "The BEST Dog" and no, you can never be replaced, nor will you EVER be forgotten, and I hope that your spirit lives on looks down upon us and we look forward to the day that we meet again!
WE LOVE YOU BELLA!!!

Elizabeth and Cliff Hembree

Bella was a very beautiful black, long haired, lady cat who lived with me for 15yrs. She was slightly cross eyed, but this meant she looked even more beautiful. Her face was very delicate and she was slightly built.

She loved to sit on the window sill in the sun. She did this more as she got older. She also enjoyed going out in the garden. When she was younger, she would sit on top of the garden shed and survey her kingdom.

When she first came to live with me, she used to follow me everywhere. If I went for a walk she would follow me to the end of the fields, then wait for me to come back. It didn't matter how long I was gone for, she would be there sitting on a fence post waiting. Then she would escort me back home. She did this for years, and neighbours would always say how wonderfully devoted to me she was.

And she was devoted. She would rarely tolerate any one else and hiss at them if they approached her. Yet she would sit happily on my lap for long periods, until I got cramp and had to move. Then she would just wait for me to settle down again and move back onto my lap. She came to bed with me most nights and slept next to my head on the left side of the bed. And she would not budge till I got up in the morning.

She had lots of other wonderful characteristics.

She was put to sleep 2 days ago. I am distraught at her passing. My comfort is that she was happy and so well looked after for the 15yrs she was with me. I adopted her from a doctor at work who had her for 3yrs, but then had to go home to Trinidad and wasn't able to take her. I have the sad task of writing to him with the news.

I am trying to celebrate her life rather than be distraught over her passing. Which is one of the reasons I am writing about Bella here.

And finally, I know she will be waiting to greet me on Rainbow Bridge, with Ripper Puss and Worm Cat.

Bella was and always will be the love of my life. She was my soulmate. She was so happy and loving everyday of her life. She had the biggest heart I've ever seen in a dog. She loved life and her family. She passed away at the young age of 5 yrs. & 8 months. She was diagnosed with Diabetes on June 7th and had a severe case of pancreatitus by June 12th. Her poor little kidneys began to fail and her poor little body just shut down. We never thought she would die. Her passing has been completely devastating to me and my family. My heart is shattered. I will love her and miss her everyday of my life. I am not afraid of dying, now that I know I will be with her again in Heaven. Life is empty and lonely and will never be the same without her here. Bella, we love you so very, very much and miss you terribly, we wish you were still here with us. Love, Mommy

I miss you, my baby Belle. It was a most painful decision for me to make, but I don't want you to suffer anymore. You know I wouldn't have given up on you if there was still any hope, but there was none. Seven years of love and happiness, you ahve given unconditionally to us, and I will be forever grateful. Thank you so much, I miss you, and no one cane ever take your place. Jack also misses you a lot. Be our angel, ok?

Agnes Caibal

Belle, Belly, Bellerina, Boo...you had many nicknames but one huge place in my heart. Mommy misses you so much. Not a day has gone by without wishing you were still here. I miss your raspy voice and your soft purr. I know that you are still here with me in spirit, I can feel it. I'm so sorry that you left so suddenly. Looking forward to seeing you in another life. I LOVE YOU...

Erica Perry Aufiero

Time has only slightly eased the big hole left in our hearts with your passing.
Your love and devotion to us will never be forgotten.
We miss you in so many ways.
You were always there for us and always happy to see us.
The cats miss you, too, but I won't tell your friends.
Please be on the lookout for Molly as she just crossed over and may need a friendly face to show her around.
It's just not the same here, but wonderful memories help to make it easier to bear.
I see you often on the breeze and in the corner of my eye.
We will see you again one of these days at the Bridge.
Love you girl!

Jennifer Oneal

BELLE...OUR LITTLE PRINCESS,

I love you Belle. Thank you for your love and affection that you showed me everyday.
I will miss you with all my heart. Our souls are intertwined for all eternity.

Natalie Won

Our sweet, little "Bellie", you were one of the only Persian babies I had ever seen with curly hair!!
How you disliked being brushed, and can't say we blamed you!!
You were always a quiet, solitary little gal, but gave us so much love.

Lyle and Carole McCreary

Belle, you were and always will be a part of my soul and you will be greatly missed.
Thank you for all the blessing you added to my life.

Marti White

I will miss feeling your muzzle on my knee under the table, begging for a nibble of my food. I will miss your gentle licks on my face, wiping away my tears when I was sad. I will miss your loyal and good heart. You are at peace now, well and whole, and I will see you soon, my beloved Belle.

Kathy McGraw

You were all of Ol' Girl.
But now you are with Guinness Ale at the bridge playing like you did.
Hunter really misses you and doesn't understand but one day he will.
Go play with Guinness and feel young again.
Ol' Girl!

Hunter, Raylene, Phil, and Scooter

WHEN WE ADOPTED YOU BELLE 4 1/2 YEARS AGO YOU BECAME OUR LOVE, OUR CHILD. YOU ONLY LEFT US YESTERDAY AND OUR HEARTS ARE SO TORN APART IT'S UNBEARABLE...I KNOW WE WILL BE WITH YOU AGAIN SOME DAY WHEN WE GET TO THE BRIDGE, AND THAT WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND YOU US, AS LOVE LIVES ON FOREVER.....BELLE, YOU'RE THE BEST DOG IN THE WHOLE WORLD! XX OO TILL WE'RE TOGETHER AGAIN SWEET BELLE,
LOVE FROM MOMMY & DADDY
XXX OOO

My precious little 'Baby' Belle was a true Southern Belle.
She started her life homeless, living on an Indian Mound, but when she was a few months old, we rescued her and she became a member of our family for 18 years.
She was so shy and did not like strangers, but loved us with all her heart as we did her.
Our little black cat Belle is now with all her other fur siblings at Rainbow Bridge waiting on us (Pippit, Boo, Binkie, Ebony, and Nike).
We miss you Belle and love you so much.
We'll be with you someday and be a family again so don't be afraid.

Diane Beesley

To our little wiggle butt,

You brought so much joy into our lives in your short existence here on earth. We miss you terribly but know you are happy and healthy now and are playing with all your friends and cousins. We'll miss all the kisses and snuggle time. It doesn't seem right sitting on the couch without you snuggled up next to me or sleeping without you curled up right by my side. Goodbye to my best friend and shadow. I love you so much.

Momma & Poppa

Belle was the best.
We remember her best for carrying our shoes around when we visited and chewing up the various remotes in the house.
But, what a love for life!! She always greeted you with a wagging tail and all of the love and affection she could muster. We love you Belle and we know that you will be waiting for us on the other side.

Aunt Ellen and Uncle Sam

Belle, our Great Pyrenees of eleven years passed away last night. She had cancer, but we were hoping it would progress slower, it chose to take her way before we were ready for her to go. But would we ever be ready?
Belle was here through our sons' pre-teen years and through their growing up. She sure helped curtail the 'empty-nest syndrome' for my husband and I.
She was also a big time traveler. She traveled across the United States, Canada and Alaska with us, as my husband and I are truck drivers.
She was involved in every aspect of our lives. My husband was not here for her passing and he is grieving heavily as I am too. I'm thankful I found this site. Bless you all for that. I'll look forward to a Monday night candle vigil for the Big White Giant that either frightened people across the country or commanded hugs and scratches and always, always smiles from truckers who are astounded that we travel with her. And my tribute to her for always being affectionate to people around the country...she thought every human being was obligated to come pet and love on her as that is what she loved and was used to. She had a big snow at least this year to enjoy, and I'm so thankful for that. Winter, of course was her favorite time of year. She got to lay in snow the day before she passed.

Now I just need to learn to get along without her.

Always she will stay in my heart,
Kris

Although you've crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, I still feel your presence in my heart.
You are missed very much.
I'm happy to know that you are not in pain. Sending all my love to you.....mom

My sweet little Belle, I miss you so much, little girl.

Mary

I watched you both born, but couldn't watch you leave me and I'm sure you understand.
I miss you both so very much but I'm sure Daddy is glad for you companionship.
It was a great 14 years.
I will always remember those beautiful and loving eyes and the greatest friends I could ever imagine, not to mention faithful companions.
I still feel you here with me, sitting at my feet, and following me everywhere, even if just into the other room.
I know your out of pain now, and I'm happy in that knowledge, but it doesn't make it easier to be without you.

Maureen

I love my belle-y girl.
Now she can chase as many balls and squirrels as she wants without her hips hurting her :)

Ingrid Grana

Belle, You spent 9 of your 12 years with us. You brought so much joy to our lives.You were so vocal, and we could almost set a clock by your singing. I'm so happy we got to take you to Dewey Beach this Spring and you got to see the ocean. You got so sick in one month's time, it was so fast. I'm sure you and Polly(who was put down in Oct 2007) found each other once you crossed the bridge. I can just imagine the two of you running and playing together again. We all miss you so much and are glad you left your pawprints on our hearts. we love you nanny and papa

Belle Kane.
She was simply the most loved Old English Sheepdog and we will always remember her unselfish love and protection.
We will miss her barks and messy face!
We love you Belle!!!

Marlo and David Kane

We know you are at peace now. No more pain and you can run and be free with the others who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We miss you more than you know. Mom is having a really hard time since you are gone. We miss you and you will be always a special baby to her. The other 4 of your brothers and sister miss you too. One day you will all be together. Rest In Peace our baby.

Love Mom and Gaby

My best friend that can never be replaced! I love you so and I am sorry for the way you had to leave me! I know that you are by my side everyday! I love you so much!

Lisa

I found Benji 10 years ago and he was truly a blessing from God.
I have Type I diabetes and when I would pass out he would go downstairs and go get Michael my husband and he would come up and save me.
I could not go anywhere with out him following me where ever I was.
He was my guardian angel.
My mom passed away two days ago and I guess he knew that now he needed to be with her to protect her.
I love both of them so much and now they are looking after all of us now.
I really love you Benji and I love my MOm.
Goodbye and someday I will see you again.
All my love, Beckie

I Love you!!

Becky

Ben, Our hearts are still heavy from losing you a year ago, we know that you are in a better place, I can see you running and playing with no more pain, we will always cherish your memory our protector, I know that you are still watching over us, until we meet again rest our sweet baby.

Larry & Susan Jones

Ben was a great friend. He was a manly dog, always wanting to be in charge and very protective.
Thank you for loving us, for cleaning up when something dropped to the floor while I was cooking.
Thanks also for snuggling up in the evening.
You are the best.

Kathy Marsch

Ben,
We miss you.
You kept our secrets and you made us smile. You are in a better place.

Megan, Cara and Connie

Ben was only with me for 10 years, he was a wonderful fella, very comical, and sometimes rather naughty, he was quite a character. He used to love his walks in the woods, but would never come back when called, was to busy chasing the lady dogs, and having fun. He fought long and hard, in his tenth year, he was diagnosed with leukameia, the vet put him on chemo, and within a week, the frail old fella, was up running around like a puppy.
He lasted nearly 6 months after that, with the chemo helping him, but sadly within, a fortnight, of being poorly, he went rapidly downhill very fast. Yet again the terrible decision of letting him go, but I know that it was the best thing for him, as he was so ill by then.
His sister Bessie stayed with us for another 5 years, and gave me strength, to carry on. Again my dear friend all my love always, til we meet again.

Karen

For our darling beloved Ben who brought us so much love and happiness.We miss you so much and will never forget you sweetheart.

Heather and Max Patterson

I will always love you Ben. I'll watch over your friends like you did. Say Hi to your mom, she was one great momma. see you on the other side. your dear friend and more Becky.

Ben was my special little skinny pig, he brought me many years of joy & laughter; my life will never be the same. Ben was quirky and loving and will be greatly missed. I hope you are running and playing in the parsley my love, eating red peppers and basking in the warm sun. I love you my big-man!

Heather Bird

dearest ben, we miss you so so much. life is not the same without you. we cry everyday for you life is so empty without you. we hope we will be together again untill then please be with us everyday.

Lorraine, Stephen, Hayley, Lee

Dear Ben

You have been my companion for so long, I am lost without you.

Your toys lay in the garden I cannot look at them.

Your Bowls lay on your mat, I have not touch them.

Your bed is there waiting for you.

My plates unlicked, my hand unnuzzled

Your smiling face not at my door.

How can I go on without you? How can I go to the shops alone? How can I face the people who loved you?

When you carried your lead, they stopped & stared, stroked your head & smiled.

How can I smile again, be proud that your at my side.

You are my best friend, you were there when no one else was, you were there when I cried, there when I laughed. Always comforting & cheering me up.

You always stayed by me, always looked for me, always protected me from everything & nothing.

My constant companion & ever loving friend, don't forget, I will be with you as soon as I can.

My heart, my love, my hope

Your heartbroken friend

Mrs Toni Currie

BEN,
What can we say fella we miss you so much you were a big part of our lives for 12 years, I still see you around the house we had you before the children arrived all three of them but it didn't bother you they could climb all over you, take food from you never a growl or a snap. You were far more than a pet you were our friend who has left a big gap in our lives which can never be filled or do we want it to be, Sam is into Power Rangers now I dread to think what part you would have played in that but whatever it would have been you would have done it with your tail wagging away. The girls Katie & Megan miss you Mummy misses her rock so much I remember the day she brought you home from the rescue center and said he want grow very big!!! I pretended to be angry but you had me under you paws straight away even after the numerous times you destroyed the house or went walk about, I miss play fighting with you and knowing no matter what time I came home from work you always came down the stairs wagging your tail to say hello. When I took you for your last walk and you stopped and looked up at me as if to say "I can't go any further" I turned around and took you home where you collapsed on the door step where Mummy held you, I carried you in where the children said goodbye before we took you to the vet, as you lay on that bench struggling to breath we had to let you go dear friend we could not see you suffer any longer it was the least we could do for the faithfulness you showed us as you life ebbed away we could see it in your eyes as you said "Thank you" God bless you dear friend we miss you more than words can say until the day we meet again "We Will Love You Always xxx"

Your Family

To my best friend,
My heart is broken and I miss you desperately.
Sleep well my little man.
Forever in my heart.
Mum XXXX
