2008 Tributes For pet names beginning with "D".

D.O.G, Our special boy, you were more than a dog you were a big part of our family. It's been 5 years now and still we can't think of you without crying, we still miss you so much! You were so sweet and gentle, and I still listen to our song for you, Goodbye My Friend, by Linda Rondstant, although it's so sad to listen to. We love and never stop thinking of you hope you are okay and we will see you again someday!
Love Wendy, Terry, Jesse

A fun, silly, jolly, playful pup; loved by all who knew him has crossed over the bridge, and can now see again and play with all the other dogs.

Gramma Johnny

To my Daddy's Boy - you were a gift to me for 8 years of love and kindness and laughter.
You will be missed every single day - and I will see you and Delilah at the Rainbow Bridge and our life will continue on.

Mark Peppard

Goodbye, precious and unreplaceable member of our family.

Mario Ciampa

Well D Bird, we had some good times.
You were such a chatterbox. You'd tell everyone that "Daffy's a good bird, yes he is or "love, love, D Bird" - adding another "love" with each repetition. We called you the cage spokesbird, since everytime the food bowl ran low we'd hear the "butter, butter, butter" order from you.
You loved a taste of butter and to help Mom make cookies, and I'll never forget finding you tromping around in the chocolate chip cookies dough chanting butter, butter, butter.

You'd love to play with Mr. Sock and helped Mom fold countless loads of laundry, giving each piece a little kiss.
You loved your corn on the cob, too. (But only if it was buttered.) You always had something to say to everyone that passed by your cage (usually pretty loud), but when you talked to us at night you would whisper like you knew it was "quiet time". You would tell us "I love you", give us a kiss, and then tuck your head down waiting for your kiss back."

Mom will always be sad that she wasn't home when you passed.
Shawna, your "pretty keat" was so broken hearted.
She said you were all tucked in like you were sleeping. I hope your passing was just that peaceful.

We will miss you, you silly old bird.
Life will never be the same.
I just know you're Jack dog was there waiting for you, so ride around on his collar like the old days until we're all together once again.

Fly high and away, with all our love,

Mom, Dad, and Crash

RIP:
My funny valentine!
Her best friend was female gerbil.
Her little friend is missing her.

Pat Grosse

Thank you for being the best mushkitten in the world.
I love you so much.
I miss you.
I wish you were still with me.
Thank you for staying right near me all through my cancer treatment.

Gregg J. Sicker

He was a most loving and affectionate cat. Intelligent and well-behaved. Vocal in his pleasure and displeasure – the softest purr and a wide range of “talking” to communicate his needs.

He was extremely personable, enjoying the company and attention of his humans and feline companions, who adored him beyond the scope of the words that grace this page.

Dagger was a most unique spirit, the likes of which I doubt I will ever meet again in cat form.

Lovingly laid to rest 03/28/08

Dagmar "The Enchantress"- The perpetual kitten. You always believed you were still a kitten, because you played like one, and you nursed on the fabric of my shirt and kneaded with your paws every time I picked you up. You loved your raw shrimp- you would try to start eating it before I was even done cleaning it. You lost your difficult 3 month fight with cancer. You died on your favorite spot on the sofa in front of the fireplace. When I found you in the morning, your body was still warm, but you were finally at peace. Pookh and Mr. Bunster will be waiting for you, but all of our hearts are broken as we move into this Christmas season. No words can express the emotions I am feeling- a combination of sadness, guilt, anger, and several others that don't have a name. With you gone, 2008 will be known as the "Christmas That Wasn't".

Dagul was a very intelligent dog. She had so many talents like singing (howling), swimming, and the
ability to understand a lot of words/commands. She was very sweet, playful, and protective to all of us.

We will never forget you Dagul! We love you very much!

Meneses Family

Dailey, we love you and are so thankful for the wonderful years you gave us! We will miss everything about you.

The Normann Family

No longer in pain or slowed by age, you are free to romp and roam, I know you will be there to welcome me when God calls me home. Until we meet again Daq, head for the sun, run and play, for I cannot, I will not say good-bye to you, for you are just away. It's been a month today since you passed away and I miss you more than words can express. I love you.....
Mama

Thank you for all the joy in my life, babycat.
I love you, I miss you.

Erin

Daisy was a wonderful dog that I have had the pleasure of knowing since the day she was born. My deepest sympathies go out to her humans that gave her the best life any dog could ever hope for.

Linda Judd

I miss you Daisy, you were a wonderful dog that always made me laugh! Goodbye my sweet little naughty dog, I love you

Andrea Meyer

To my precious baby girl, Daisy,

You went through so much in your young life but you brought so much joy to me and to Chance, your big goofy brother. I feel so blessed to have had you for the 10 1/2 yrs I had you in my life. Enjoy your pain-free life in heaven. I will remember & treasure you always.

Love your mommy & Chance

You will always be our baby girl, love Dad, Mom, and Mad Max

I love you Daisy. You were a great pig who shed a lot. I'm so glad you are in a better place now. I miss you a ton right now and am crying right now for you. I'm sorry the medicine couldn't cure your URI. Oreo misses you too, she is squeaking a lot.

Zachary

Absolutely the best friend we ever had, Your love was everything to us, and when you passed, part of us died with you, we will always remember and love you. Thank you for being part of our lives.

Carl & Barbara Ross

To my loving and special friend you will be forever loved and missed deeply,
I love you so much and miss you more than words can say.
My heart is broken.

Cyndi

Daisy was a very loving dog who belonged to my husband's parents. She was a Christmas surprise for my mother-in-law as a puppy. However, she was more of my father-in-law's dog. She was such a sweet little friend to our own dog Scooby and put up with the other schnauzer Heidi. Aunt Daisy will be missed. I know she isn't suffering anymore and we all look forward to seeing her again.

Robin Williams

I lost my little "Daisy" on my birthday this year, March 18th. She was such a special little dog. A rescue who came to me as a "foster baby" but stole my heart with her love and devotion so she became mine. I will always love my precious little "Daisy Doodle". She is missed by her canine brothers "PeeWee", "Buzz" and "Petey". Until we meet again, my darling girl.....

I love and miss you so!
Mommy

She was such a good dog and every room in the house makes me think of her. i hope she's doing well and I hope she's doing all that she used to love, eating, resting and playing. rest in peace, i'll never forget her

Molly

I'm still holding you. I miss you every day and know we will some day meet again, until then , I find comfort in knowing you are with Leo and running around chasing mice and chipmunks like you always did and there is no more pain.

Linda

While I had a dog growing up, Daisy was my first dog solely my own. She has been with me my entire adult life as I got her my senior year in college...she came over to chew on my shoe as I stood in the whelping box and I was instantly smitten. She was such a smart girl, but stubborn, particularly her first few years. Yet I learned so much working with her, patience above all and compassion, and together we worked through Advanced Obedience training and she earned a Companion Dog Certificate. And after puppyhood, this headstrong Labrador became the most gentle and peaceful of souls. Her intelligence and calm demeanor garnered praise from all who met her - she was that dog you saw at the coffee shop laying at the owner's feet, thumping her tail and people-watching but never being a disruption. Every person that met her, she adored, and they too were smitten with her. She was the sweetest soul with children, knowing in that way some dogs do that they are special and required the gentlest nuzzle and tiniest of kisses. She was my constant companion, through moving to South Carolina for a Master's Degree, a teaching job, and then to Columbia SC for my Ph.D. Through Daisy I learned to appreciate the outdoors, taking her as often as I could to the beach, various state parks, lakes, nature walks, and just walking around town. In her later years her arthritis restricted what she could do, so she was content to lay outside in the front yard and watch people and other dogs go by, or to take short jaunts around the neighborhood. We had such a connection, an understanding between us, that became so strong in her later years, so used to each other's personalities, habits, and needs we were. I understood her body signals, she understood mine.
Our days were peaceful and content to be with each other.
Even just a smile, or a "what?" would bring a thumping tail wag.
So much of my existence, my daily routine, my lifestyle was centered around her or always conscious of her presence. Through everything, she was the most accepting, loyal, loving, sweet, and laid-back dog I have ever known. It has always been "Michelle and Daisy" - and it is going to take a long time for me to figure out how to live my life without this beautiful soul.

Michelle Hardee

Thank you Daisy, for all your love kisses, snuggles, and smiles.
Thank you for all the times you protected us and we didn't even know it.
We can't wait to be with you again.
Have fun with Keeb & Roka.

Love, Kris, Madisyn, Merideth & your mom Tia.



Daisy was my best friend.
She gave unconditional love in abundance.
I never came home that she was not waiting by the door for me, wagging her tail.
She was so excited to see Mama that she tried to talk to me and tell me how excited she was.
My heart is broken, and I will miss her more than words can say.
Coming home will never be the same.....

Lamona Collier

I miss you so much Daisy. My heart is broken with you gone. I pray you are happy and not lonely. You were the best dog I have ever known and you will never be replaced.
Tinkerbell misses you so much too.
Love, mom.

To My Daisy Girl,

I will miss your love and kisses that you gave me everyday. I know in my heart your spirt is here with me and I will never forget you. You were my first puppy and will never can be replaced.

Kristene

I miss you baby girl and Mommy will always love you.. I'll see you again someday!!

I Love you Daisy!!!!

Kelly

We will miss our sweet, beautiful girl and love her always.

Andy & Ann Niedenthal

Daisy came up out of the woods and just adopted us when she was a puppy. She was a great dog, loved people and was a joy to work and play with. She was poisoned with antifreeze by some evil person who poisoned all the dogs on our road out here in the country, they came into the yard and gave it to her. She was on a run in the backyard at the time. It was a horrible death that occurred quick and they never found the person or persons responsible. I will never forget her.

Nancy Smothers

We got Daisy from the Basset rescue in Michigan in April 1998, after the family she was with did not want her because of the new baby. We gladly opened up our hearts and home to this big floppy earred drowling dog, she was part of our family and would not be given away for any reason.
Daisy was a great dog and friend, and very smart she loved her belly to be rubbed and big ears to be scratched. But don't touch my big huge paws because I don't like them to be touched. She welcomed the other dogs into our house with open paws. Last week she became very ill, not eating or drinking so I took her to the vet and she had tumors on her spleen and would not make it thru the surgery so my husband stayed with her until the end. I will never forget Daisy she will be in our hearts forever.

Carrie Wilson

Beloved Collie,

Amanda Herrerias

My little Daisy have a safe trip. I love you forever.

Jane Arnholt

I was a divorced, single parent of three wonderful children.
I had gone back to college and met a wonderful man there.
We were married in 1997 and the children were part of the ceremony.
Here we were a new family and we decided together that we would like to get a dog.
We all had seen labs and many of the people in our neighborhood had labs.
We found a breeder in a town nearby and looked at the litter.
There was a black one that had the shinest coat and she was a little imp.
She kept biting the leg of her brother and teased him with a toy she had.
We fell in love with her and named her Daisy.
We had Daisy for 11 years.
She died today after liver failure and we miss her already.
Daisy went on car rides with us, to the Christmas Tree farm to pick out trees.
She was smart, loving, especially to our youngest, Kevin who was 6 at the time.
Kevin and Daisy played ball everyday and went swimming together.
Kevin had many nicknames for the dog and they played and slept together.
Daisy always knew what it meant when we said it's time to go nite nites, or do you want a cookie, or lets have suppies.
She was always there at the door when we came home with her "happy face" on.
We will never have another Daisy, but we have a lot of great memories, pictures and film.
We buried Daisy in our yard with her favorite blanket that had her name on it and with her favorite chew toy. We said a prayer for her and know that she is with God and is no longer in pain.
Our wish for other families is that they have a chance in their lives to own a pet like Daisy.

Poem For Cats

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

Erin

You are our most beautiful Angel.
We will never leave you, sweetheart.
Please stay close. We will be together again one day soon.
Keep Mom, Nancy and Houston company until then.
Tell them how much you like your tummy rubbed.
Thank you for coming into our lives and teaching so much about unconditional love. Daisy we will love you always and forever.
Mommy and Daddy.

Although she was only with us a short time, Daisy was a wonderful dog. She always knew when someone was upset or sick. She would lay by them and love them with kisses. She will be so missed!

Heather

Although you left much too soon, you brought so much happiness to my life during the wonderful time we had together.
You were my pretty little girl and you will never, ever be forgotten...you will forever be in my heart.
I will always love you, my sweet puppy.
I miss you, Daisy!!!!!!

Kim Williams

I MISS MY DAISY SO VERY MUCH. SUCH A WONDERFUL LOVING DOG.
I CARRY HER IN MY HEART.

Gloria Ray

Our beautiful, precious Daisy is released from the physical challenges of cancer, taking our hearts with her.
Her sweetheart, Muggins, is lost without her, as are we. Eleven years is not enough to say I Love You, but it's 11 years filled with Love.

Olivia & Don Garrison

Daisy Angel,you brought immeasurable joy to my life little one, may you rest peacefully until we meet again. Good-bye dear friend I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're now gone, but you'll never be forgotten.

Suanne Dunn

Daisy, my beloved Yorkie, gave me unconditional love and companionship for thirteen years. I thank God for the privilege of caring for her.

Anthony R

You came to us in need, and gave us much more.
You found love and peace.
As sick as you were, you still climbed in my truck for a ride, greeted me each morning, and let me know you are my dog!
The pain you felt in the last days, I wish I could have felt for you.
Now you are at Peace waiting for me to join you one day!
Daisy you smiled at me as you said good-bye, and I said go to the Rainbow Bridge, I will meet you there soon!

Daniel Kramer

We miss you, Daisy Girl!

Jason, Lori and Ryno Rehg

I miss you and your sister and wish we were all together again.
Being without you is so sad and lonely my sweet angel.

Rena McGrath

My beautiful perfect Daisy - I could write on and on about her for hours.
She was the best dog in the world and I made sure I told her that every day.
In return, she was the best dog in the world.
She gave so much more than she received.
She never met a person she didn't like.
She greeted everyone with a tail wag and a smile.

She was a beautiful brown mutt that I picked up as a puppy one hot summer day.
The animal shelter told me they had no idea what breed she was or exactly how big she would get.
She had the most beautiful brown and black markings and sweet brown eyes.
Her coat was short, soft and shiny.
She never had that doggie odor - even when she hadn't had a bath in awhile.
She was a 60 pound lap dog.

She loved to go for walks through the neighborhood.
She preferred to choose the route herself, but was happy to go along if I chose the route for us.
She loved to share my meals with me and always got a little smidgen of what I was eating.
Did I mention that she was spoiled?

She was an excellent judge of character and was protective of me when she felt that I was in danger.
Ironically, she thought the mailman and the the paperboy were dangerous.
In fact she thought anyone who left any kind of paper in the yard was dangerous.

She loved all of her toys.
One of her favorite things to do was chase balls in the back yard.
Even as she got older she still loved chasing balls around the back yard.

She had a "boyfriend" named Caesar.
She and Caesar would go for walks together and have races to see who could walk in front of the other.

She had two cats that she loved dearly and shared her house with.
She didn't think the same of "street cats" that she figured were just wind up toys to chase.

She was with me for close to 12 years and was always faithfully by my side.
Even as she got sick, she would muster the strength to come to the room I was in just to be near me.

She was a very spry and healthy dog who unfortunately had two different types of cancer.
The nasal carcinoma, which revealed itself first, appeared to be beaten by radiation therapy.
She was a tough dog throughout her treatments and didn't seem to mind them too much.
Unfortunately a second, more invasive cancer came into the picture and I had to make the difficult decision to put her to sleep.

She couldn't have left this world in a better way.
Because she was the best dog in the world, everyone at the veterinary office loved her too.
She charmed her way into their hearts during her radiation treatments.
She had spent the day getting tests.
After receiving the test results, I made the decision to put her to sleep.
The veterinary office gave her two meals.
When I came that evening, I also gave her a can of dog food so that she could go to heaven with a nice full belly.
They put us in a nice private room with lots of sunshine.
They gave us a nice blanket to lie on for the meal.
Then Daisy and I had a nice walk outside and came back in to visit a bit more.
The vet came in to start the procedure.
I think Daisy could sense that I was sad because she started to cry too.
We let her settle down a bit and then started the procedure.
She went very peacefully.
She sighed one of her sweet doggy sighs, put her head down between her paws, and is now resting in peace.
The vet told me that half the oncology staff was in tears because Daisy was so special to them too.

Daisy was such a love and touched so many people in this world.
I know I'm not alone in my grief for her.
I also know that this world is a better place because of Daisy.

Sarah

Rest in peace

Pat Grosse

You were "Mama's Best Girl", Daisy.
We will never forget you, Bug.
You left us too soon.

My beloved daughter.

Skip Speer and Marty Millington

I miss my Great Girl, Daisy, so very much. I am heartbroken.

Lorraine Brubaker

Daisy brought so much love, laughter, and light into our lives.
We miss her so dearly.
In time our lives will take on a new "normal," but for now, we long to hear those nails clicking down the hall; that brain-rattling bark; that snicker-inducing snore ... to cuddle up and drown in Daisy slobber.
Those are indeed the days I dream about.
I can't wait to meet you at the bridge, sweet girl!

Mendi, Greg, Karenna, and Laney

Daisy was such a great dog. She was probably the sweetest dog you could ever know. She would always walk up to people and nudge their arms and hands until they would pet her. She really loved attention. She loved to cuddle. When ever I was upset Daisy would always be there for me. She'd lay her head on my lap and wag her tail while looking atme with her adorable puppy eyes and sometimes she would lick the tears off my face. I love her so much. Her and Chase used to play all the time until she started getting older, but even then she still played with him once in a while.

December 30, 2007 was the worst day of my life. I lost my baby girl. I took her outside around 4:00 a.m. because she was whining so I took her out so she could pee. She had already pissed on the floor in my room before I took her out so of course I was upset. I yelled at her for it cuz I was half asleep, I didn't mean it. She's diabetic that's why she pees so much. She would get a shot of insulin every twelve hours and I gave to her at 11:30 a.m and p.m every day. So when my alarm went off at 11:30 a.m I got up and said "do you wanna go downstairs" to both of my dogs cuz it gets them excited and happy. I love to see them happy. But when I opened my bedroom door to go downstairs Chase ran down the stairs all excited but Daisy just stopped and layed down at the top of the steps. She was shaking really bad too. That's not like her at all. She usually races Chase down the stairs. I tried to get her to stand up but she wouldn't. She tried to but she couldn't, not even when I tried to help her up. So I carried her down the stairs and sat her down in the kitchen. My parents asked me why the hell I was carrying her and I told them, "she can't get up." My mom got worried and came in the kitchen. She said to give her her insulin "now" so we did. She just layed there shaking, her heart was beating so fast, and her moth was so dry. We got her some water and put it in front of her but she couldn't drink it. She tried but she couldn't. My mom said she was in shock. She said that the vet told her to give her kerosyruo when that happens. I tried to give it to her but she couldn't even move her toungue. I was so scared. I told my mom to call the vet immediately cuz she was in such bad condition. My mom didn't want to at first. She just sat with her and told me to go clean up all the vomit Daisy had left in my room. She vomited four times while I was asleep. After I cleaned it up I came back down and pet her a little thengot on the computer to look up what to do when your dog is in shock. It said to call the vet immediately and tell him/her that you're bringing your dog in. I told moy mom and after a few minutes of convincing she fianally decided we should call. She told me to watch Daisy while she took a shower and she would watch her while I showered. She said that if Daisy wasn't doin any better by the time we both had showered she would call the vet. when my mom got out of the shower I called my younger brother and asked him to watch Daisy while I showered because my mom still had to get ready after her shower and I was afraid we didn't have the time. So we hurried up and got ready and my mom called and told the vet Daisy's symptoms. The vet said that it sounded like Daisy had low blood sugar and we should bring her in so they could look at her. We took her in, they took her weight, then took her back to take a couple blood tests and take her temperature and stuff. Again while she was waiting for the results she said she thought Daisy had low blood sugar. She also asked if she had always been blind. (she lost her sight a couple weeks ago) The vet said she had cataracts. We thought that was why she went blind. The vet told us that if she got her blood sugar level back up to where it needed to be she might actually get her sight back. I asked her if she thought Daisy was gonna be ok, she said the prognosis looked good. We waited for about a half hour or so until the vet brought us back to talk to us. She told us that she was wrong. It was the complete opposite of what she thought was wrong with Daisy. Her blood sugar level was extremely high and so was her temperature. Her blood sugar level was at 600 something and her temperature was 107 when the normal temperture for a dog is around 101 or 102. She was also having seizures. The vet said she wasn't sure if the seizures were even caused by the diabetes. She mentioned that it could be a possible brain tumor but she said she really didn't think it was. She had my mom sign some papers stating whether or not she wanted them to try to bring her back if she stopped breathing or if her heart stopped. I guess they can try for up to 20 minutes to bring the dog back. My mom signed no. I told her to say tes cuz Daisy is my baby. My life revolves around her and Chase. We got to visit with her for a few minutes before went home. I didn't think that was the last time I was gonna see her. The vet siad she had to stay over night and she would call later to let us know how she was doing. She called around 4:00 p.m and said she was doing better. She said Daisy's temperature dropped to 104 and her blood sugar level went down to 300 something. They had done a urinalysis to check to see if her kidneys or liver were affected and luckily they weren't but she did have urinarary track infection (which isn't a huge deal) but they gave her some antibiotics and it was fine. But she didn't have her motor skills back yet. I thought she was gonna be ok when we got that phone call because she was doing better. The vet eventhought she was gonna make it. I was exhausted from all the stress and all the crying so I took my sleeping pills around 7:30p.m and went to bed. I told my mom to wake me up if the vet called. Around 10:00p.m she knocked on my door. I knew what she was gonna say. I opened the door and yelledm, "don't tell me she's gone, don't tell me she's gone!" My mom just stood there shaking her head with tears in her eyes. I asked her, "is she gone?" She said yes and I completely lost it. I was balling my eyes out. I hugged my mom and we both cried. I sat there and talked to about it. I just kept saying," I thought she was gonna be ok. I can't believe she's gone. I thought she was gonna make it." I cried all night. I was just balling my eyes out looking at her pictures and hugging Chase. I didn't fall asleep untill sometime around 3:30a.m. I got up at 7:00a.m and got ready. We went back over tothe vet this morning around 8:00a.m. When they brought her out wrapped up in that blanket all stiff I couldn't take it. Both me and my mom started balling. Icouldn't stand to see her like that. We took her to my grandma's house and burried her this morning. I cried the whole way there. She was my baby. I had her since I was nine years old. That's eight years. She was such a good dog. She didn't deserve to go the way she did. Poor girl was suffering all day. I could tell she was trying to fight it when I was there with her. I think she fought because she knew I was there and she loved me so much and knew I loved her too. I think she gave up a while after I left. When I didn't come back I think she just gave up. The vet said that her temperature just shot way up and her breathing got heavier than it already was and she just went. She said it was just so sudden. There was nothing they could do. The vet said that her diabetes was under control before that happened. She thinks the diabetes had nothing to do with it. She said she's pretty sure it was a brain tumor and I guess that would explain the blindness. Why did she have to go like that? Poor dog. I love her so much and now she's gone. Why now? I don't understand. I still can't believe she's gone. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with.

REST IN PEACE DAISY

You will alaways be in my heart. I will always love you. I'm sorry I wasn't there. I'm so sorry...

Chase and I miss you so much.

Our Daisy was born in the spring 18 years ago.
She was a joy to have around, never a problem.
It took her awhile (about a year and a half) to accept her canine sister, Snickers, who also passed 12/01/07.
I know that you are together, with all the wonderful animals at Rainbow Bridge.
It's especially sad to have you both gone--not one of you survived to this New Year's Eve, the night which I am writing this.
However, since, Daddy brought home a new Calico kitten (Trixie).
She can't replace you, of course, but she does provide us with laughter and some fun amidst the sadness.
So play and rest well, our good kitty--you gave us many good years--until we meet again!

Vivian Horvath & Family

Daisy, you are my angel from heaven, I miss you terribly. My heart is so heavy, it is hard to describe. I love you forever and ever, bunches and bunches. I love you lots and lots, old grey goose. You are Mommie's girl, and you gave me so many good times to remember, I thank you very much. You are the best beagle in the whole wide world, my best friend FOREVER my pretty pink princess. I love you, Mommie

Daisy was the sweetest little springer.
We got her when she was about 7 months old because we had taken our other springer to get trained and the trainer offered to send us home with a "loaner" dog.
We immediately fell in love with her.
She was almost completely deaf but responded to had signals - when she was looking.
She LOVED her daily runs with Vince and our other springer Ellie.
She had the most keen nose and when she got onto a scent and then found the animal she was off chasing it for sometimes a mile.
At home she was the most loving, cuddling dog who wanted to be by your side always.
Everyone loved her sweet demeanor and she loved everyone back.
Last night she was out for her run and kicked up a deer from the woods.
She chased the deer across a road and a motorist hit her.
She died instantly.
We are so sad to loose this special dog who gave us so much comfort and joyful times.
I am looking in all her special spots and wondering how I can bear to be without her.
I am trying to find comfort in the wonderful memories of her but the pain of loss is so deep and strong.

Tracy & Vince

We love and miss you sweet baby!
You're all together once again!!

Scott and Cheryl

I lost my girl yesterday and I can't believe she is gone. She was my best friend and I will always love her. Through everything, she was there with a smile on her face. I hope she is in a better place now and that she knows just how much I loved her. I miss her so much!!!!

Jennifer

We saved Daisy from going to the Pound when she was about 3 months old. She was not very affectionate and stand-offish at first, but we found her to be smart and funny. She was healthy too,up until a week or so before her euthanizing. She only had a ACL injury to her right knee. She was great company for me when I would get home from work, there she would be, waiting for me on our lawn! She never wandered, and we had no fencing. She would go in the woods in the back to do her "business" and come back and lay under our front porch. She had a good life and we will treasure her memory always...I hope we do meet again someday, somewhere.....

Flo Dina

My Darling Daisy

I'm a pretty little thing,
Always coming with the spring;
In the meadows green I'm found,
Peeping just above the ground,
And my stalk is cover'd flat
With a white and yellow hat.

Little Mary, when you pass
Lightly o'er the tender grass,
Skip about, but do not tread
On my bright but lowly head,
For I always seem to say,
"Surely winter's gone away

Christina Brents

Daisy, I love you so much and will miss you always.
You were my ray of sunshine and always had a way to make me smile and cheer me up when I was down. I love you girl !!!

Love knows not its Own Depth
Until The Hour of Separation

Kahlil Gibran

Remembering Daisy Mae Dog

Daisy so enjoyed going for a walk. She knew the minute she saw the special leather leash she was going for a walk. Walking always made her smile the biggest smile she could muster.
A smile so bright and happy I will never be able to think of Daisy without it.
The only thing better in Daisy's mind than a walk, was Bank day on Fridays.
She could not contain her emotions to the point that her barking ripped through to my very last nerve. She knew I would be at the roll top desk getting the paper work ready and she would pace this way and that way until I gave the documents to Ken to leave for the bank. Fridays she not only got to go for a ride but she would pop her head from the back seat to just behind Ken's head in the drivers seat to make sure the teller saw her, she usually scored two treats because she could really ham it up for the teller.

Leaving the house or coming home since Daisy passed away is not the same.
Whenever I went for my purse and keys Daisy knew I was getting ready to leave the house, if I got near the door she started to bark and once my hand touched the door knob she would tug at my shoe or socks and always my pant leg to try to stop me from leaving.
Coming home now is almost unbearable because Daisy is not there is to greet us with a wagging, thumping tail going full speed.
It's like being in someone else's home not our own.
We can still picture Daisy's presence in this room or that room, on this spot or that spot and perhaps on the bed when one of us forgot to close the door.

What a blessing and joy to have found such treasure at the pound-A dog who loved to watch television as if she were human. Whether it was a television show or commercial Daisy was ready to talk to the first dog she saw on the tube and she barked and barked just trying to communicate with the other animal...that was a "Silly Daisy Dog"?.
She even grew to know the music to the commercials with dogs in them and would come bounding in at full speed to bark at the television no matter where she was in the house.
As much as we disliked the barking, we miss it now beyond words.
To exercise Daisy we would take her to the dog park, "Mutt land Meadows"?, she loved to go there because she could run and run. There were nearly always other dogs to sniff and run with, a pack dog she was.
If by chance we were there without the other dogs she would choose to walk at our side, Daisy never wanted to be alone.

Daisy also knew about angles.
At night she would look up at the ceiling perhaps because she saw shadows from lights on in the room.
That was when I would say "the angles are up there Dais"? I believe they were there and she saw them and Daisy was just checking to see if I saw them too.
She'd look up a few more times and then lay down content to watch TV.
It was a regular event between her and me.

When I am alone now I still find myself talking to her as if she were still here?"Dais what da ya think"?, or "papa's on his way home"?, and if I got up to go to the kitchen Daisy usually got there first to see if there would be any treats for her.
She would even clean the floor for me with her tongue, what a "little Hoover" Daisy was.

A few years ago, while in the hospital I missed Daisy so much that she was allowed to come and visit me there. that visit was perhaps the best medicine it gave me such a lift and helped make the rest of the stay seem shorter.
Once home from the hospital I laid on the sofa during the day working to regain my strength, Daisy would lay her head on my chest and look at me with those bushy eyebrows and beautiful little brown eyes of hers encouraging me to get on with life, and perhaps cook something yummy for the three of us.

Ken and I tried so hard to get her healthy and
well.
We ran every test the Vet recommended until we knew there was no hope of saving her.
We knew that we had to give our precious Daisy to the Lord.
We did not want her last days to be painful.
This wonderful "lover dog"? deserved only the best we could give her. It was the hardest choice we ever had to make.
As Daisy passed from this life to the next she never took her eyes off of us she knew and we knew Daisy knew what was going to happen.
As we told her how much we loved her and caressed her she died peacefully on August 22, 2008 at the age of ten and a half.

I can picture her now biting her half sister Cricket in the legs and digging holes in the clouds and Saint Peter wondering who let the dogs in.

Love knows not its own depth
Until the hour of separation

Kahlil Gibran

How blessed we were to share her life and how deep the pain of saying goodbye.

Daisy was a "LOVER DOG?"

Gail Hofmnn

We will miss your sunshine and enthusiasm.
You helped us grow and realize that you and all animals are part of God's plan.
I hope that you know that we loved you so much and our hearts ache in your absence.
We never thought that you would leave us.
You were always happy to see us anytime we returned from an outing.
We've had that glowing face of yours to greet us for the last 15 years.
What will we do now without you here?
I feel your passing is unbearable since it is so new, but I know that you are no longer in pain.
We can't believe that you are gone.
Hopefully you are looking down on us from heaven waiting for us to give you treats or throw a ball.
This is more of a "See you later," rather than a "Goodbye."
Your beagle brother Marty and lab sister Molly miss you so much.
The kids miss you terribly.
This is their first experience with death.
I've never seen your daddy cry as hard as he did tonight.
I will never be the same again.
You were my first dog and I feel so guilty.
Should I have done more?
I love you Daisy as we all do.
You touched so many hearts and this world will not be the same without you.
Goodnight my sweet Daisy.
We love you more than you know.

The Rodriguez Family

Daisy,you left us too soo my sweet girl. Although you were only with us 7 years, it was the best 7 years of our lives. You are no longer suffering or in pain! so run free my sweet angel. I will see you again someday!

We love and miss you terribly!
Mom, Grammy , Beezer and your pack mates!!!

Daisy was pregnant when I got her just 3 weeks ago.
She delivered 4 baby hamsters.
She became ill and was not able to care for her pups.
I am caring for her pups.
They are now almost weaned, and growing strong.
She cared beautifully for these young babies.

Pat Johnson

Our Little Daisy Mae, we miss you and love you. We are so sorry we had to let you go. We know you are better now. We promise to look after your canine family.
We will always love you.

Shelby & Nate Kilgore

Daisy Mae and Helen Mae were one.
Daisy Mae was everything one could want in a little furry coat: always there in waiting, an ever attentive bundle of joy.
Daisy was remarkably beautiful, bold, full of energy, super intelligent, always alert and a protector.
Her big brown eyes gave love, comfort, caring and understanding.
She loved people and people loved her.
To say she will be missed is an understatement.

Helen Mae Cain,

Thank you for saving us during the flood.
Without you to wake us, we may not have made it thru.
Go, run, play and have fun!
We love you girl!

My darling little Daisy came to me when I was really sad and lonely. She instantly changed my life by bringing joy back to it with her precious personality. She would try to talk to me, she always laid in my lap and loved to cuddle with at bedtime. She was the brightspot in my life and made the world a better place. My precious girl passesd away suddenly, and I feel that I will never be the same. My life is back to being sad and lonely and the only thing that would make it better would be to have my sweet baby Daisy back, but I know that's not possible. I will think of her everyday until I see her again on the Rainbow Bridge. My life has been enriched for having Daisy and now there is a missing piece of my heart where she used to be. The abundance of joy has now turned to tears, and I will forever miss her and dream of her being with me again.

Tina Sampson

To Momma's little girl, you brought many smiles and much laughter to our family, you are missed more than words can desribe.
We love you forever and a day.

Tina Short

Daisy Mae and I will always be together in our hearts. She was loved by many and touched our hearts and lives forever. I will always remember her smile and her love for us all. Go to the bridge and be happy,and await our happy reunion. You were our angel on earth and now are being held by your own angels. I'll love you forever my sweet Daisy Mae, remember we are one heart.

Laura Vance

Daisy was a daydream one May afternoon in 1995 and I didn't know what breed she'd be.I knew I wanted a puppy for wilbur and we picked Daisy Beagle out the next day. At 12 weeks old
She was the sweetest little thing...everyone loved her. Daisy had permenant eyeliner!
She was so beautiful, our pretty baby girl. She was adored by wilbur and everyone who met her.Her eyes resembled a baby seals..soulful and loving.

She came into our lives and brightened up the world. She loved her walks along the beach with wilbur and she grew to be the most loving dog I have ever known. She clung to us at night- attached to me in the bed. Daisy traveled a lot~! She loved our walks in forest preserves around the midwest. She loved to go on ski trips~ She wore booties in the snow!
Max Shepherd came into her life and they fell instantly inlove. They were the perfect pack. Each so different and they got along so well.

Daisy cried and cried for attention and to be tucked in! She got whatever she wanted! She loved to be under the covers and warm. She used to lay in the sun so long- we needed to put sunblock on her tummy. Imagine a beagle allergic to grass! She was! but enjoyed rolling in it more than anything. Daisy did not like 'wet'. Rain, the lake ,snow. pools, puddles- She'd boycot going out in the rain! Daisy loved to eat, What beagle doesn't??! She loved carrots right from the start and all through her life ...and her favorite thing in the whole world to eat was peanut butter.
Although she kept in perfect shape most of her life....she enjoyed food so much, even vegetables.

About 7 months ago Daisy was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. We put her on medication which seemed to work well. She developed pancreatitus and liver issues, We think from the medications.
She was rushed to the ER, we knew she wasnt well she was sick for about two days and she wasn't getting up. She had developed a fever of 104. We took her home and administered subcutaneous fluids.
Her fever went down rapidly- which we felt was a good sign. She got sick again in the morning and we rushed her to our regular vet...where she stayed over night on painkillers and fluids.
We went back to visit her the next day and she told me it was her time to go. Tearfully we said goodbye and ended her suffering as soon as we knew she was in pain.

We will never forget you Daisy..you were the love of all of our lives.
We love you Baby Girl. You're always on our minds and forever in our hearts.
Love; Mommy, Daddy, Wilbur, Max, Marley and Butch.

My precious Daisy May. Daisy was the most loveable and loyal Golden anyone could ever want. All Daisy ever wanted was love and kisses. She was my one and only constant and was always right by my side, through jobs, moves, brain surgery, marriage, and divorce she was always right there giving her famous kisses. I'm so sorry Daisy, I promise I did everything I could possibly do to keep you with me and I know you took all the pain your body could tolerate, just to stay with me. I promise you I'm okay and I'll be alright. I'm a much stronger person than I use to be thanks to you. Daisy, I hope you know you have my heart and I love you more than life. I never thought I could love just one thing this much until you came into my life almost 14 yrs ago. You are and always will be my precious angel and I'll see you soon at the rainbow bridge. I love you! Always and Forever your momma

Dear Daisy,

We miss you still so much.

Lots of love Mummy, Daddy and Molly XXX

Ive owned Daisy since she was 8 weeks old. At 40 years old, she was the first dog Ive ever owned. My Wife bought her for my birthday. I will miss her kisses everday when I come home, the hand shakes, or roll overs to get a goodie. No matter where I went, I would look down and she was there. I will miss when we went on walks, how she made sure and barked to let the entire neighborhood that she was happy and out on a walk. Daisy was my best friend and will be missed.

Daisy has left a hole in my life that will be hard to fill.

Dean Sullinger

WE miss you so much daisy. We think about you every day. Daddy misses you. Mommy still thinks about you. Kristin cries without you in her room!! I hope you are happy down by the time thats where you belong! Rest in peace our sweet innocent daisy.

Kristin, Matt, Mark and Luann

great dog, friend. will be missed by all who knew her

Stephen O'Brien

I let you go so you would not suffer or feel pain. You gave me the most joyous 15 years and I will miss you terribly. You will forever be in my heart. I can still see your soulful eyes looking at me with unconditional love. I will cherish that memory forever.

Ann Partridge

Where to being with Daisy! She was such a wonder animal. I got daisy when i was 8 years old, she was the smallest thing, she usto bring all her toys and her bed into the living room from the kitchen where she slept at night because she wanted all "her" things with her all the time. She usto hide her cookies in my bed when she didnt feel like eating them right away, she would even hide them in my bed when i was in it! She loved being read to slept! it usto be one of my favorite things to do when i was a little girl. Now at the age of 22, without her is very hard. she was always "MY" dog even before we moved in to a new place together, and when i met my boyfriend, she left me for him, he was her everything and she was his! they were so cute together she always had to be with him and even got jealous of me sometimes. she is one of the smartest, prettest dogs i have ever owned. i never imagined how lonely it would be without her. ever day i come home and she isnt there i want to brake down and cry. She was really a wonderful dog! Daisy Pye, you will be missed forever, by more people then you can imagin! I cant wait to be with you again! you will always be in my heart and in my dreams untill the day we meet again on rainbow bridge! Love Always, Your girl, Jenny

We lost our Delicate Daisy after only 14 short weeks of life apparently from a heart defect.
Although you were with us only a short time your certainly had a huge impact on our lives.
We miss you so and your litter mate Dutchess mises you the most.
Although Lucky (the cat) has been trying to help fill your void for her it just is not the same.
We know that Serenity and Ginger were there to welcome you as they went to the Rainbow Bridge exactly 2 months to the day before you.
We know that you are in good hands and now have the time to get to know the ones we always told you about.

Dianne Sibilia

The (doggie) love of my life, I can't believe you're gone. It was heart wrenching to put you to sleep yesterday but I know that is what you would have wanted. I am sorry we couldn't do more to help you. You made our lives complete for 13 years. I pray to God for an afterlife just so that we can meet again in heaven. I miss you so so so much already and would give anything to have you back. Rest in peace.
Love,
Zegen family

In memory of my Dakota - my love, my child, my protector, my life.
THank you for all you gave to me.
You brought me joy, laughter, fun, support, care, protection, a constant companion, a travelling buddy, a soul mate - so many memories.
I'm glad you're not in pain and can run, jump and roll in the grass again.
Your spirit will be with me always and hopefully your spirit will be by my side whenever you want.
Until we meet again my Dakota Bear - LOVE AND MISS YOU! Love, Mom.

Dakota you died too young.
We miss her more than words can say.
She was a real bestfriend, and a real buddy to her daddy. We will never forget her, and look forward to the day when we will all be together.
Daddy, Mommy, and Cheyenne

Dakota's family is the Cooke Family, Tom, Roxanne, Tom Jr, and Kristina.

Dakota brought joy and love to our whole family. She will be missed by all who knew her. Kota Bear as we called her loved to cuddle. She was the sweetest dog anyone could hope for. Dakota was the Star of her Obedience Class. She only cared about her family and wanted us to be happy. Dakota was the best friend I ever had. She will always be loved and never forgotten.

This is in memory of my beloved Dakota: best friend, faithful companion, traveling partner, and child. I wish I could've done more to make the pain go away and you to live longer. I miss you so much and my world is empty without you. You were my first dog and it was you that trained me, and you taught me so much. You were the most intelligent, brilliant, beautiful and gentle creature I've ever known, and I'm so proud that you were mine. You deserved so much more than I gave. I love you eternally, baby.

Heather Faught

Goodbye my sweet boy...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One crisp February day, I found a special boy to love.
He was a wrack of bones with dull hair hanging, one ear stood proudly while the other went in a different direction. He had no front teeth, no hair on much of his back and didn’t have a clue how to kiss or play. He wouldn’t look at you and didn’t make a sound. I wasn’t going to love this funny looking guy…he was dying. His eyes were sunken and dull and he truly didn’t have long to live. I wanted to give him something in his last days that he had never had before…respect and kindness. I knew that I’d wake up one morning or come home from work one evening, and he would be gone. I was prepared for that. What I wasn’t prepared for is to lose him a little over five years later instead. He not only lived, but became my special big guy. He’s given so much love, pleasure and comfort in these five years. He’s much of the reason I’ve been able to deal with life and keep putting one foot in front of the other through Tony’s long illness and death. He was my lookout and tattletale when alzheimer’s went into its next stage, and dad would sneak away. He was with me during the 7 days that I sat beside mom’s bed as she was dying a few months ago and he knew just the right thing to do when Pork died this past fall. He’s been my comfort, protector, exercise partner/playmate, confidant, trusted friend and teacher. I’ve watched him love and trust even though he was so horribly abused and neglected during the first 6 years of his life. I’ve been blessed to share this guy’s life and I thank God for every moment I’ve had with him, even though it wasn’t long enough. I do believe in Rainbow Bridge and I know that he’s now able to run and play without pain. I also know that Tony will never tire of throwing the ball and will take good care of Dakota, Nicholas and all of my other critterkids until I join them…but for now, I have to try to figure out how to wake in the morning without seeing my sweet guy’s face, sleep at night without hearing his breathing and I won’t be seeing his smile…his excitement or have him to hug. I hope he knows how special he is, how much he’s loved and how much he’ll be missed.

Goodbye my sweet boy…I love you.

Linda Walker

You lived with us for only a short time, but you made such an impression on us; you were already sick when you arrived to stay with us; I'm sorry for all the suffering that you endured but I'm glad that it's at an end now--but I do miss you so.
You were & still are so regal-looking - in life and in your pictures.

Faith & Mark Shives

To My Baby Dakota!! Who passed with MANY people who will never forget her! I can't believe I am now alone to face the future that we were to face together. Dakota - you always knew now to cheer me up - you ALWAYS knew when I needed a kiss the most. I will forever miss you! I love you so much! Come to my dreams so that we can still play!!

Yolanda Contreras

We're so sad you're gone Dakota.
We know how much your mommy loved you and we are so incredibly sad for her.
We loved you too and we can't believe you're gone.
You were her rock.
You were her baby. It wasn't your time to go and we weren't ready to say good bye.
We love you so much and we will never forget you.
Never.

Auntie Anita, Uncle Eric and Anabelle

Dakota was my doggie soulmate.
I will never recover the part of me that died with him, and I will never forget the 10 1/2 years of absolute joy and friendship he gave me.
He was my once in a lifetime dog and I still miss him every single day.

Melissa

Dakota,

We truly miss you! We loved how you would race up the stairway next to us.
You patiently waited for your cookie.
We will not forget how much you loved playing ball and your love of the snow.
It is so quiet without hearing your bark.
You were so kind and loving.
We won't forget how you got our attention by flipping our hand in the air to give you a pat.
You are with your team but we will always remember the special times we had with you.
Give Friz, Sylvester, Stanley, Pete, Sheba and Cody a kiss from all of us.
Remember until we meet again, WE LOVE YOU!
Love, Starchipper*

We will love and miss you forever Dakota...you were the best dog ever.
You are at peace now.

Gary, Kim, Elizabeth, Jillian, and Nicholas Boba

You were the most loving and gentle dog whose four paws graced this earth.Losing you broke my heart. But I am comforted knowing you are with Rudy and Montana and no longer suffering. You are in my heart pumkin, always in my heart.

Kathleen Kelly

We miss you terribly but are so happy you are not suffering. You were so brave... I'm so proud of you & will love you forever.

Emil, Antoinette, and Jessica

I love all my pets dearly, both living and deceased; but this little girl had something very special about her.
From her I received continual unconditional love and caring. The last thing she did was "kiss" me before she died. There is an ache in my heart now that won't be soothed until that day we meet again in heaven.
Until then, I pray my little Dakota is with my other pets who have passed on and they are playing happily together.

Our poor german shepard died On March 3rd 2008 from cancer he will be sorely missed in all our hearts! There is not a day that goes by that we do not think of him and cry. He loved to play, eat and be with his family. He loved going for walks and going byes. He was one of those dogs you could never get double of. He ment so much to our life. He was a family member and a freind. Who would protect us till the end! We miss you Dakota but your spirit will forever live on in our hearts!

In memory of my dear furrkid, Dakota Blu.
You were always here when I needed you and wow what a life we shared over 16 years !
Not only day to day but traveling cross country on Amtrak sharing a room while you sent love to all who came by to say hi !
You were one in a million my dear faithful friend.
My love for you will never die. Enjoy playing in the green fields of Home and keep watching for someday you will see my walking towards you with a huge smile on my face.

Dakota James, a.k.a. Cranium, it's amazing how much we still miss you.
It's been 3 years since your left for the Rainbow Bridge, and the tears still flow.
You were the perfect companion.
You were intelligent, fun-loving, obedient, caring, curious, and a sucker for treats.
It still baffles us how you could determine our footsteps and the mail carrier's from anyone else's.
You were our canine doorbell.
We've been dreaming about you a lot lately.
We met a dog who could pass for your twin.
Is this God's way of telling us it's okay to move on?
Is He saying you are fine where you are?
There will never be another dog to replace you.
You were my "Kota Bear, Cranium, Junkyard Daaaaaawg"!
I know there are times when I can still feel the thud of your tail on my leg.
You were a happy puppy.
When I start questioning myself on whether I loved you enough to make you happy, I just remember that big, beautiful tail of yours wagging and how you used to smile.
We love you, Dakota James Fisher.
We always did, and we always will.
Never forgotten, Kota Bear.
We are looking for another puppy.
I called your mommy's owner today to see if you have any brothers coming along.
If we do find ourselves blessed enough to get your brother, we'll tell him bedtime stories all about you and how wonderful you were.
Goodbye, Baby Boy.
Even though I miss you terribly and still cry for you, I am glad your lungs feel better.
Be careful with the others on the Rainbow Bridge.
100 pounds of running, jumping, happy labrador retriever is a lot to stand up to!
Forever Loved By...Keith, Sheila, Michael, Jordan, Sierra, and Sheyan

We miss you sweet boy! You brought so much happiness & craziness into our home. You were our first baby and we will NEVER forget you. It is so lonely & quiet here now. It will never be the same without you.I will think about you every time we walk into the house & nobody is there jumping six feet up in the air to get a cookie.You did a great job of protecting us (especially from the UPS guy & the mailman). Now I have to clean up the floor after the kids eat dinner because you're not here. I won't sleep as soundly because you are not here to protect us.And who is going to eat the crust from my pizza? We all miss you very much. My heart is so heavy since you left. You fought such a strong battle with such courage. I am so sorry that cancer won. I will love you forever Zip. Run free sweet-buy, run free!

Christa, Kevin, Jordan & Jade

You were our first baby and oh how we loved you. We did everything we could to give you a good life, but God had other plans for you. There is not a day that goes by that you are nit thoght of. We are always telling sophie and Maisey about you and your brother Bailey. Oh how we wish you could have played with them also. We will love you forever,

Brian and Denise

My friend I cannot explain how much I miss you.
You have been with me unconditionally through so much and I can't thank you enough for what you have given to me. I miss so many things about you.
You were my only "child" for so long. The sorrow I feel is immense.

Kristin

My beautiful, precious Dakotah,
In all my life I have never loved anyone as much as I love you. You were with me through so many bad times and happy times in the last 18 years.
Oh, I would give anything to hug you again.
Every night I held you close, and in the morning, you were there to greet me with kisses.
I am so sorry that you suffered so much the last six months of your life. I did everything I could to help you and make you comfortable. I would have done anything to save you. In the end, I couldn't let you suffer anymore. Please forgive me. I never meant to cause you any pain.
I know you are with your precious Honey, your buddy Cujo, and my mother. I know you've met my dad by now, and I'm sure they have introduced you to Erik, Ericka, Heidi, and Sugar. Our family has many kitties at the Rainbow Bridge, so you still have family cats to chase.
Mommy misses you and loves you more than anything in the world. Although I know you would want me to be happy, I just can't do it. When I lost you, I lost myself.
Please know that I think of you every minute of every day.
You were, and always will be my life.
Wait for me, my sweet Booder Booder. One day soon I will cross the Bridge, and we will never be apart again.
My precious baby:
If my love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
My heart went with you, Dakotah.
All my love,
Mommy

"If tears could build a stairway, and memories were a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven, to bring you home again"

We love you more than anything, "boo-boo", and we miss you to no end.
You will never be forgotten, you were always a good friend.
It was time to say goodbye, however unready we may have been, we'll see you at rainbow bridge, where we will be together again.

Forever loved, forever missed.
Love:
Rick (dad), Colette (mom), Jessica, Melissa, Chris, Nick, Daisy, family and friends.

My special boy, you will always be missed.

Joanna & Ray

Words do begin to express how much we love you. I know you love us even more.
You will forever be in our hearts. Thank you for saving my child & showing us unconditional love.

I just wish "mommy's boy" could crawl into my arms just one last time...

Vernon, Tunisia, & Ayianna

My precious girl has gone to join many loved pets where she can run in beautiful fields and enjoy plentiful sun. I hope to join her again for eternity. She was the most amazing being I have ever been fortunate to know and I truly believe she is with me, by my side, fishing and hiking, laying around and enjoying the day.
Rest comfortably my baby girl...mama will see you again someday.

Jennifer Dubiel

My Dallas...
She was my wonderful, kind companion with beautiful eyes and and intelligence that never ceased to amaze me. From the time I first saw her as a puppy, a little smiling furball with tail wagging, I knew she was special. And she was. She was friendly, loved people, and they loved her. Everyone who ever met her or came in contact with her were enchanted by her. She was truly, as my best friend said, "exceptional"
I lost my Dallas to cancer last night (June 6, '08), and I am grieving, but taking some comfort in the fact that she will not be suffering anymore and is at the "Rainbow Bridge".
Goodbye, my beloved friend and companion... my life was truly blessed with your presence in it.
"Goodbye" is only temporary...perhaps I should say instead, see you later, Miss Dallas, I Love You,
You were absolutely one of a kind.
You will be missed immensely

Dee Molina

Dallas, I will remember you every day of the rest of my life.
You were more than a dog to me.
You were a dog in a human body and you were my best friend.
I miss you more and more.
I hope you are safe and happy in the meadow.
I love you very much my little buddy.

Flo Osher

We love you baby girl. You are our bestfriend. You gave us 11 wonderful years.
You were a fighter the last two years of your life.
Thank you for giving us those additional two years.
You will always be with me.
We love you so much.

Colleen and Dan

I love you Dally.
I was looking forward to the cooler weather so we could spend more time together before you left us.
I'm sorry that couldn't happen.
I know you're no longer suffering, and that makes everything better.

Amanda Real

Found abandoned in the desert as a puppy, Dally was rescued and given a second chance. She would snuggle
and play with Choulie kitty, go with Sara riding in the desert,gave a javalina a run for it's money, and would find her way out of the yard and run for the canal for a swim. Today was her last run for the canal and her last snuggle with Sara as she was laid to rest under the cottonwood tree in the pasture. Bless your spirit as you took with it a piece of Sara's heart.

Saragrace K

I will always love you Dalton, Mary, Cheyanne, Marshall, and Austin



You were the best dog a person could have.
You're ability to love and care for me in some hard times is unbelievable.
The last time I saw you, you didn't want me to leave and I wish I could have stayed.
I thought you had so much time left.
You were still so young and full of energy.
I'll forever miss you, and I really hope that there's a place in the after life (whatever that may be)
where I can reconnect with you.
I'm so hurt that your gone.
You really were a best friend, and I loved coming home from college on the weekends to see you.
You'd come and sit in my lap as if I had never left.

Lindsey

You, my dear Damiel, were my friend and teacher.
I will hold you always "in heart" and remember you kindly for your ongoing and unconditional love, protection, companionship, mischievousness, devotion, patience, affection, support, compassion, empathy, loyalty, and ability to bring out the joyful child in me.
You were and always will be my hero, my precious "big boy," and I will miss your physical presence.
The only things about losing you that give me solace are knowing you are or will be in a better place soon and that we will meet again.
I understand why you came to me, in particular, and will spend the rest of my life mining the many lessons you have taught me.
I regret, of course, that there was no miraculous intervention available to prolong our sixteen-year liaison, as you were truly the best man I've ever known.
With all my love, I set you free, my sweetest boy.

Michele

He was my precious angel & is now whole again!

Christie Oosse

You were a beautiful little buck.
You saved the rest of the herd by helping me to realize we'd used the wrong antibiotic for your illness.
I'm sorry and I will miss you!

Beuder Family

My feet are cold on the couch, my bed feels empty without you.
You will always be in my heart my one true friend.

I miss you.

David Jewell

Damien, you are and always will be my heart, my soul, my baby boy-I know that you will always be here, at my side-watching and waiting until we can be together again.
I miss you boo

Kara and Rob

We love and miss him so much!!
Go run and play again Damion love daddy and mommy

I'm so sorry that everything we tried wasn't enough.

I miss you already.

You are loved....still.
That "first piggie" spot in my heart is forever yours.

Sleep sweet my little old man.
There is definitely a rainbow in our future.

Sammi

Dammy, its been a long hard year without you.
I think of you often and mostly smile.
Who would have thought that a cat would have made such a difference in my life.
I miss and love you, that will never change.... Stay out of trouble my little one.

Sam Mairs

You were so cruelly abandoned. We adopted you and took you into our home and into our hearts. you were the best companion and the best friend I made in Spain. I can't stop crying. I love you Dana and I always will. Those who abandoned you don't know what they missed, and they were unworthy of you. Thank you Dana for all the unconditional love you gave me.

Helen Sole

My angel forever.

Cathy and Chris Comeau

From a stray to a beloved member of the family, Dancer will be loved and missed forever.

Mark and Renee White

We will always love you, O, most special of little doggie gals. We were only able to give you our best for 10 months, but, you got the big bed, the master's table, and the Master's heart. Good-bye, Dandee Girl....We hope to see you in Paradise with the Restorer of all things Dandee.

Stan & Debbie Goss

You became ill three weeks before Christmas and in the end you could not fight anymore and I had to let you go.

I will be looking out for you at the rainbow bridge my darling.
Until then I miss you so much and think of you every day.

Joy and Richard

Rest in Peace little boy xx

Angela

Dear Dandy,

You were my Dandy Doodle Burger, My Dandy Dog, My Best Boy.
And you will always remain that way.
From the day I adopted you you began a life with me that was filled with excitement and total love.
I adored you and told you everyday how important you were.
You were the first rescue dog I ever had and you were the reason I continued to rescue other dogs after I got you.
You came into my life and were good to my other dogs and cats. I always remember that.
I always told you how much I loved you.
You were my baby boy.
So much fun to have around.
You took priority over all my other animals, especially as you got older.
You got the toys and if someone stole them from you...I stole them back and gave them to you.

You loved life and you loved the yard I got for you in the last year of your life.
You loved barking at Guinness the dog next door and now he comes to the fence to look for you and you're not there.
The seizures you had while I was at work must have been scary, I hope to God, if there is a God, that you did not suffer.
You did not deserve to die that way.
I can never forgive myself for not being there for you.
I love you beyond all belief.
My life will never be the same without you.
I hope you know that during your last hours I was there by your side, desperately trying to save you but never wanting you to be hooked up to machines or pricked or prodded or medicated.
I think at your age it was your time but I no that no one would ever have suspected that by the way you lived your life.
You got the best of everything from me, home prepared food, healthy treats, no chemicals used in the house.
Everything I did was so that you would always be healthy and never have a bad day.
Everything interested you.
You were never lame or sickly.
Never in a million years did I ever consider the possibility of a brain tumor...yet that is what got you in the end. Something no one could see and no amount of healthy lifestyle could prevent.

I know you are well now.
No more pain.
No more seizures.
Running in the field, chasing your ball and barking at the birds and dogs and cats that surround you.
You are loved always and forever and always and forever will remain My Dandy, My Dandy Dog, My Best Boy.
I love you with all my being and always will.

I wanted you to enjoy your yard in the spring and so hoped you would make it to do so. But like the song that keeps playing in my head when you left "MacArthur's Park"

...Spring was never waiting for us dear, it ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance...someone left the cake out in the rain...I don't think that I can make it 'cause it took so long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again"

Michele Foran

to my beloved best friend of 14 years. you will always be loved, cherished and deeply missed. you were there for me in the happy and sad times. it breaks my heart to not have you here now, and i only await the day when i can hold you in my arms again. i love you my little lion king!

Amanda Nicholls

Dani, you were the best friend a family could ever have.
Loyal, cheerful, ready to jog/walk, great traveler, and ALWAYS glad to see me when I returned home from work.
Join our other pets that have gathered at the Rainbow Bridge anticipating my arrival.
We will all cross over together one day, and play in the sunny and soft fields of grass.

W Paul Waits

I miss you my best girl!!!
Until we meet again my Danner, at the Rainbow Bridge...We'll see each other in heaven forever, so happy!!!
I love you!!!

Trisha

Danny boy ~ a wonderful dog who will be missed greatly.

Diane Creigh

Daniel was my dog and my truest of true friends.
I miss him terribly and at the same time I am so glad he is not in pain anymore. I cry not for him because I believe he is happy and free now. I cry for the loss I feel for this very very special friend of mine and the guilt I feel for not being there for him as often as I should have been. I hope you know Daniel how much I love you and always will. Mom

We will never forget you! Rest In Peace Danny boy.

Niedzwicki Family

The light of my life! You will be in my heart forever.
Until we meet again....I love you!!

Penny

For my sick baby. I tried my hardest to save you.

Leah Porras

Danniella was our "shelter puppy", having been abused and abandoned, we opened our loving arms to this beautiful little girl.
But then near tragedy struck.
Ten days after coming into our home she had parvo virus and was given less than a 50% chance of surviving.
But she was a fighter and after a week hooked up to IV's she came home.
She suffered from separation anxiety and although she was never left alone at home she never quite relaxed until every member of the family was back home for the night.
She knew when I was coming home and would wait by the door ... and I never came home at the same time so this was quite a surprise.
She was a lovable member of our family, always giving kisses.
She was our 45 lb lap dog and was spoiled by all.
Her final year was difficult.
She was suffering from vertigo, arthritis and incontinence.
She could not control her bladder when she was sleeping, but that just meant daily bathing of both Danni and her bedding and bed pads.
Her little heart finally gave out.
We are still mourning her.
Tiger, Rusty and Casey sense your absence.
Danni, you will always be my little girl and I know someday we will be together again in Heaven.
Pasha has now gone to join you in waiting for me.
Love Mommy XXOO

Danny was an amazing dog. He died yesterday, suddenly, from a heart attack or stroke. No one expected it - it was such a shock. I'm still crying.

He was more than a dog. He was a friend, a partner, a brother. He was very smart and friendly, knew tricks, went to the State Fair with me a few times, and loved everyone. He was calm and fearless, and I was going to do therapy work with him.

The house feels so empty now without him. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Emily C

i just want to say that i love you and will never forget you.you will always be in my heart and i know that you are by my side at times when i need you the most.you are and always will be my best friend. i miss you alot and miss your cold nose,running in the snow together,and "doing lassie". you will never be forgotten.

love your friend forever

melinda

My little casanova, you were so special to me. I will never forget you and the love you gave to me.

Angie

Danny had been through all of our way ups and way downs right down to homelessness. He was one of the faces we could look at and feel at peace with life. He was our first dog we ever picked and he will never be forgotten.
We know he is sitting on Jesus' lap enjoying the attention. We know he will be at the heavenly gates waiting for us when it is our turn and bringing all the other animals with him.
To our precious boy: WOO WOO is how the train goes! We will miss you and you will forever be in our hearts!

Arthur and Joanne DeVoe

DannyBoy, I miss you so much, I don't want to live anymore without you. You were all I had. You were my constant companion through me and your daddy's divorce and losing our home. You were there for me through every surgery, hospitalization, broken bone, depression(none worse than this), disability and being bedridden especially over the past 2 years. I hope I did my best to take care of and be there for you too. I miss our walks, hikes and climbing hills. And I especially miss seeing how happy you were when we played in the snow. It is especially bad this week for me because it started snowing the week after you went back to heaven. I hope that you felt my body laying up against yours and telling you how much I loved you right before you went to your final peaceful sleep last week. You were the bestest boy in the whole world- I can see why God wanted you back. Through my tears, all day and everyday since you left, I hope you are not mad at me, I hope I did the right thing for you, and I keep asking God for a sign that you are okay now and healthy and happy and waiting for me. I don't want to be anywhere else except with you. I feel empty and lonely constantly. I love you still more than anything in the world just like I always told you and if I won't see you again, then I don't want to live anymore. My beautiful, loving, dedicated, sweet innocent little man, DannyBoy. I know the Angels are holding you right now. Love, your one and only Mommy

Dansby, Thank you for your unconditional love.
Our hearts are broken - we miss you so! We will carry you in our hearts forever.
May you find peace and comfort always.

Pamela Carpri

Dearest little Dante, Your death was sudden and unexpected.
I tried to save you and did everything I could to get you away from the pit bulls.
I thought you were going to make it then the vet called....
Please forgive me and the pitbulls.
Why you were taken I have no answer.
Maybe God just needed another wonderful angel puppy.
I will never get over your loss and you not being with us.
You were such a special little girl!
The queen who loved all of us.
Now your sister is with you.
You two little sister girls are together again but my girls are not with me.
Please keep reminding me that we will be together again someday along with Buffy and Trudy and all wo have gone before us.
We will love you always and you will always be in our hearts.
Until we meet again....
Love you and miss you so much, MOM

In loving memory of my angel dog Dante who loved me and looked over my life for many years. I will never forget your gourmet apetite, your funny little regal quirks, and mostly your loyalty and love. Life will be so hard without your beautiful and loving spirit beside me. Your are truly my angel now.

Janet Koch

Dante boy, we knew you were the dog for us the moment we saw you looking up at us with your adorable puppy dog eyes.

We feel very lucky to have spent the very short time with you we did get, but regret the years we missed. We will miss our car rides, snuggling on the couch, and you jumping in bed to burrow under the sheets.

We hope you accept our sincere apologies for the honest mistakes we made in taking care of you, but we know you felt the love in our hearts for you. You will be in our hearts forever and we will always remember you as our first pet.

Megan and Caleb Carter

We'll miss you, Dante.
Vergil and I will keep on walking with our heads up high until the day we see you again.

Elizabeth Graham

Dante was a rescue doggie who came to live with us at the age of approx. 12 years old.
He fit in perfectly with our family and soon was showing us all his wonderful tricks.
Dante loved to play fetch with his rubber chicken and would bark for me to come to the kitchen to get him a drink from a cup.
He did a little hop when he barked.

Dante was an absolute joy.
I miss him terribly.

Tonia Wilson

I miss you my big, beautiful, brave boy. I am trying to garden today but you are not there next to me, instead I stare at the bare piece of lawn where you laid and slept and dreamed for the very last time. I watched you knowing that for a little while you were out of pain and you appeared to be running in your dreams, a happy dog, something that as of that morning, you were not. You could no longer stand. I knew it was only a matter of a few brief hours before all your pain would come to an end. You trusted me to do the best for you and I did Dante, I did, one last thing for you. I sent you home. They say that heaven is our home and the world is only a place we pass through. You are home, and I will see you on the other side, my big, beautiful, boy. My good boy, Dante.

D Duncan

My sweet Dante. You loved with all your heart and soul.

Sue

My fourlegged best friend and soulmate.

Once I was complete, now I am lost in the Forest without you.

Rest easy, puppergirl, you deserve it.

Wolf

Dearest Daphne...we will miss you more than words can say. You were the first pet in our family and the first thing we ever had to take care of other than ourselves.
We will remember your beautiful green eyes and the way you would run throughout the house always in charge.
You were loved so much by all of us and we would give anything to pet your soft fur again and snuggle up with you while watching TV. We know you are in a better place, no longer in pain.
With all our love you will remain in our hearts forever!
Tye, Denise, Peyton, Camryn and Keely

Daphne was the sweetest, most loyal companion I have ever had. She came into my life at a tough point - I'd just moved away from my family and friends. I was low on money, had a boring job, and was downright lonely. Shortly after I'd adopted her from the shelter, I'd gotten into my first car accident. Alone and away from my loved ones, Daphne cuddled in bed with me as I cried and dealt with the aftershock of being in an accident. She was with me through a marriage, a divorce, a pregnancy, and through the stressful days of caring for a new baby. She was always on my lap when I needed to feel something soft and gentile. She stayed nearby when I didn't want to be touched. She accompanied me on 3 moves. She was very loved by both me and my son. Daphne will live on in my heart and memories forever. <3 Sean and I love you Daphne.

Erin Hayden

Dear Daphne - you left too soon - your mommy and daddy and auntie viv miss you so much.
I hope you are peacful at the Bridge with lots of friends, chasing butterflies.
We love you.
Aunti Viv

Daphnie was my girl. I will miss her terrible and there won't be a day gone by without thinking of her. She gave me so much joy, happiness and companionship when I most needed it. I will miss her waiting for me outside the house to greet me every night coming from work... I will most miss our walks together and last but not least I will miss her kisses...
I shall look forward to meeting her so we can cross the Rainbow bridge together.

Ana Svoboda

Dappie was a special little man, he was red with dapple markings. That's where he got his name and I knew the moment I saw him he was a Prince. He changed my life from being lonely and alone, to having a special little friend, that I could share everything with. He gave so much love and joy to my life. His life was short, but he left such an impression on everyone he met. I loved him beyond measure, he returned all my love and much more. Dappie you will always be in my heart forever. I miss you so much my son. You were the one that I woke up beside of and went to sleep next to. You were the one that welcomed me home. You were the one that watched TV with me. You were the one that listened while I read the Bible. You were the one that laid beside me when I was sick. You were the one that licked my tears away. You were the one that walked with me. You were the one that was always next to me. Jesus and you will greet me when I get to heaven, because I know you are in his lap and licking his face. I love you son with all my heart.

Barbara Meadows

Darby,you were the BEST little girl a mom could ask for. You were the BEST Christmas present I have received.
I know your up in heaven swimming and grandma is throwing the dummy for you. I hope you know how much you were (are) loved and will always be loved.
You are my little "peanut" and I wll miss all the kisses you always gave,and the "smile" you showed.
I will ALWAYS love you!!!!! I know you are no longer in pain-thank GOD!Be safe and I will eventually see you again.
Love,mom

We first laid eyes on you at 3 days old and knew you were the one.
You came into our lives for a reason and every day for over 14 years you brought us complete joy and love.
The last few months we all journeyed down a road that was a roller coaster of emotions, treatments, and more good days than bad.
We didn't want to let you go and selfishly held on for too long, we just hope you forgive us for the pain you endured at the very end.
The house is empty yet we feel your presence everywhere.
Oh how you enjoyed your camping trips with us and it will be so hard not having you ride alongside.
You will always be our little Skippy Girl, rest in peace and we hope our meeting at the Rainbow Bridge will be as beautiful as your favorite bridge by the bay...

Doug & Jan Krautheim

The world is not as bright today, my little Dudiebear passed away. My tears are flowing and my heart is sad. I am not sure what to do now. I miss my friend. You will forever be in my heart .

Mommy

My little Darci Marie was the daughter I never had.
She was the love of my life and I miss her so terribly.
I needed her as much as she needed me.
The is such a void in my life.

Darci traveled with me and my husband.
Slept with us and ate with us. She was so loving, kind and playful.
She was a lap child and could almost talk human to us.
Never a second of trouble and was so humble.
I do wish I could get past this time of greiving.
When I had to have her put to sleep a part of me died too. She was my guardian angel.
I found out after her death that she actually had hypoglycemia.
She had all the symptoms.
It was severe.
I had a regular Vet. for her and would be in the office if she as much as acted like she might not be feeling well.
I worried over her probably more so than soom parents would over their child.
I have three grown sons and they also loved her and pampered her.
Darci Marie, we love you and I promise to meet you at Rainbow Bridge someday.
Please be patient and watch for me but until then run, play and be happy with your new friends until I arrive.
I LOVE YOU DARLING.
MOM

We love you and you will always be in our hearts.
Now you are with Gizzy.
Watch over each other.

Pam Sim

Our beloved Darcy went across the bride on Saturday, March 8, 2008.
Predeceased by her daughter Toby, she leaves behind her son Tyler at home and sons Teddy and Nigel with friends.
Our hearts are breaking but we know that she is in a much better place.
Rest in peace sweet girl, you will always be in our hearts.
We love you.

John Oetter & Ken Cruickshank

"We've had so many happy years, what is to come will hold no fears".
"We've been so close, we two, these years, don't let your heart hold any tears". God Bless Darcy, I will miss you, but you will be in my heart forever. Love you always xxx.

Mrs Lisa Sanders

Remembering my best friend of almost 20 years who was with me through so much.

Chet Walker

We got Dixie when she was around 4 months old from a breeder in Florida. She was mahogany and black and had the perfect personality. From the time she walked into this house, she acted as though she owned the place. We had our German Shepherd named Ghost. Plus we had 2 cats and a ferret. Dixie loved them all. When we let the ferret run around, she would chase him and try to pick him up.

We found out that she really didn't like the shovel. Every time someone had the shovel in their hand, she would try to attack it. It was so funny watching her. I guess she thought the shovel was out to harm us. And she didn't like the broom. Whenever someone was sweeping the floor she would stand there barking at it until it was put up. LOL!

Now one thing she loved, besides her Daddy, was bubbles. She would chase them and then it seemed like she got upset when you put the bubbles away. If she could, she would play with bubbles all day. She also loved to play with our daughter's dog Max. She loved Ghost, but Max was just a pup and

she acted as though he was her baby. Max loved to chew on her ears and she would just sit there and let him.

Nothing mad her mad. We probably heard her growl a half a dozen times. She was the most laid back dog we ever met.

She got sick around April or May of 2007 and then in the middle of September she got so bad that she couldn't keep anything down and she lost over 20lbs in 2 weeks. We finally put her to sleep on October 2, 2007 without ever finding out what was wrong with her. The vet did everything he could think of and still we never found out just what was wrong with her. To this day, it still bothers us not knowing what was wrong with her. We miss you Dixie!

Chris Clardy

He was the best friend I ever had... technically he wasn't my dog, he was my neighbours... but he chose who he spent his day with and I don't think his neighbour minded that it was with me.
His biggest love in life was chasing cars... such a dangerous hobby... but he lived for it!!!
I'm sure he has plenty of cars and open road now in Rainbow Bridge.

Yvonne

Magoo,

We miss you terribly, but we'll see ya soon.
Love,

Mommy, Bitty, Woozer and Mollie

This is to, and about My Love Darla, My Puka (friendly spirit), most special and loved best friend. Everyone who knew Darla, loved her; she had many friends. She was so happy to see anyone she knew and always gave a special greeting. For very special friends, when they came in the house, she gave her little "woo hoo" greeting. My Darla, who protected me and my home, who patiently waited for me to get home from wherever, always was ready with her greeting of love. The most snuggly puppy, sleeping right next to me on the bed, always keeping me warm and happy. I eased you through those nightmares you had every night since your rescue into my home. From a troubled, starving little puppy, you became the most beautiful proud dog, with the shiniest coat and smiling eyes.
I always said that God sent you to me, and that God made you so darned cute. I will never forget you. You are in my heart forever and ever. I know you are running like the wind by the Rainbow Bridge, free of pain, agile as you were in your youth, waiting for me, along with my other doggies who have shared my life. I hope you will all keep each other great company, and I will come to spend eternity with you all when my time comes. My loss is so deep, and I miss you with all my heart and soul. This home is so quiet and empty without your sweet spirit here.

Suzanne England

To a wonderful dog, who knew the love of his master, and spent every day basking in the lovinglight of her gaze. Happiness embodied in a fuzzy little friend and a memory embedded in a heart. We will miss you Dorkwin, we will miss you.

Angela Costa

Dash...
My little Honey Bunny...my little monkey...my 'moto'...my everything.
You were in this world for such a short time yet you gave so much joy.
There was never a day in your life when I didn't thank God for you or think about how happy you made me.
I felt so helpless watching you pass...I only knew you were in pain and I had to do something to make it go away.
I feel so horrible that I put you down...I am second guessing myself and probably always will.
Please know that you are missed so, so much.
I feel you shadowing me the same way you did when you were here.
I will always remember you crawling into bed besides me, chewing at the water on the shower curtain, the way you loved fresh cat litter, how you adored ice cold water from the facet, and the way you would reach out to grab at me when I walked by you.
I will miss kissing you on your little head and face...and I will miss rubbing your back and behind your ears.
Your purr will always be in my heart.
Never has a cat purred louder or longer...
Oh Dash...my heart is a raw wound right now.
You have been torn from me.
I will ALWAYS love you Dash...and I will ALWAYS remember you.
You are Mommy's little girl...forever.

XOXO

I'll see you one day my love...in the meantime, keep the bed warm for me.

Dash was such a good dog. She loved to travel and loved lying in the sun. She will be missed by everyone who ever met her. During her last days her eyes were failing and her legs and hips were wracked with arthritis. But I know now that she is in a better place where she is running and lying in the sun like she did when she was young. We will always love you Dash.

Sandy

We loved you enough to let you go. Rest pain free and peaceful.

Ed, Laura, Nicole & Spencer

We all miss you Dave, and we will meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Bob MacDonald

Our sweet baby he was my Davy baby. He loved his monkey a toy hehad since he was a kitten. We will miss his meow very badly. The boy loved his treats and chicken he would drive you crazy to get the chicken.
He had his days lying in the window sill
watching hunting.
We know he is in a greater and not suffering any more. He will be one very missed kitty cat. One day we will meet again my baby.

Karen and Dan Crompton

My Great Dane Davey died at the age of three. The cancer got him and grew until his front left wrist was almost unbearable to walk on. surgery wasn't an option because at his size, amputation was a jail sentence.i don't live at home with my family. i moved out 2years ago, but came home for three days every week and still do - i would rush home and the first thing i'd do it lay down on the floor and huggle my dog. i could see it in his eyes he didn't want to leave me...the last time i saw him, it took him 5minutes to start wetting himself...it's a trait he had with me. everytime i returned home, he'd wet himself a bit - excitement, submission, respect or too happy - call it what you will, but he never did it with anyone else... it took him a whole 5mins to recognise me...his mummy...i didn't know it was my last time with him. i wouldn't have gone back to the city for work the following week if i did... here's my tribute to him

I still miss you pup pups. it was too hard to let you go... i can never forgive myself for not being there with you. I knew you were sick, and i honestly thought we as a family had it under control. the vet gave you pain killers and it was only a matter of time...

i'm so sorry i couldn't get home from work in time. I did try, you need to know that...i did my best to get home and be with you when we had to let you go. i didn't realise how sad you were - you always wagged your tail with me... getting that phone call telling me where you were tore me apart. if i could do anything for you i always did. i tried so hard to make your life better, you went through so much in the short three years you were with us, but we loved you so much!

i remember your cheeky tail wag when you stole sausages from the BBQ. And the times you'd play football with me in the garden. you were always the one taking me for a walk instead of it being the other way around! You were always mine out of everyone else... My silly Goose Joose, my pup pups, my baby boy...i miss you...it's still hard...your fourth birthday was two days ago - and i lit a candle for you. i hope you saw it Slow Mo, i hope you remembered that i'll never forget

In Loving Memory of Our Little Boy, David Jr….
He was our protective little gremlin who always watched over us all. He was very faithful & always loved to lick our faces.
He was also our playful little monkey who loved to roll around on pillows & play with toys. It was not uncommon to see him resting with his chin on a toy.
David Jr. will be greatly missed & we will love him always. We pray that someday we’ll be together again.

Lennie & Dave Peterson

Davidson was 85# of furry love.
He was such a gentle soul and sweet as could be.
He liked to "talk" and always made me smile.
I miss him very much.

Michelle Cote

Beloved Dawn, so beautiful and sweet.
You were so much a part of our life; making us laugh, our friend.......not dog, but intelligent person. The sweet love shining from your eyes in your misty gaze.

Your head pressing on our knee, and hand.
Ever with us, a part of us.
Taking part in our lives from morning to evening. Living every moment of our lives and habits.
Our pal.

In times of sadness, your paw would tap our arm and your sweet gaze was so comforting.

We know you are just as torn with grief as we are to know the end is near. We don't want you to leave and the tears you are shedding let us know you don't want to leave us.

Such love you have given, such laughter, such wisdom and intelligence you shared.
There will never be another Dawn, for your were not just a dog but a wise soul who graced our lives.

You were beyond animal, as Dad often said, a person dressed in dog's clothing.

We shall love and remember you forever in our hearts. We love you always.
Nick and Joyce Nardi

Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge and we will be together for alaways. You were and always will be my very best friend. I love and miss you Heidi.

Dawn C Kennedy

Not only were you our best friend, you will always be our boo boo.

Kimberly

Dawson Ausburn was the most loving pet, the best friend and the sweetest spirit I've ever known.
He passed from this life much too soon on June 11, 2008, suddenly, and has left a whole in his owners' hearts and lives that may never be filled this side of heaven.
We loved him as completely and unconditionally as he loved us. We will never forget him or the lessons he taught us.

Bonnie J. Ausburn and Rip Ausburn

For my friend Dawson who so unselfishly worshipped his person until the end and who lost his life in a tragic set of circumstances that were out of his control. We will love you always and hold you close in our hearts forever. A best friend and companion to Jack, and a gentle giant to all who loved him. You will be missed so very much.

Jodi

My fine fine boy.
My heart is broken in a million pieces.
Life will never be the same without you Scoobs.
Greta misses you terribly and still hasnt touched the Christmas bone!
The house is empty my boy.
Rest in peace and when you arent resting..romp and play like you did when you were younger my angel.
I promise you that I will see you again and then we will be together forever.
Momma & Greta

He was my very best friend. Always made me smile. He was there for me through very difficult times.
Shared with me the best times.
Extremely missed and I will never forget him.

Sabrina Lincoln

Daxie, my love, we miss you so.
You were with us for such a short time, but you found a permanent place in our hearts.
Your purr, your sweet toes, your loving eyes, the cute things you did...the way you burst onto the scene in any situation...I hope we made you half as happy as you made us.
Love and kisses, Momma & Poppa

Our handsome baby, and protector of our home. You are in no more pain, and once again running for the toys. Keep alert my baby, for one day you will once again hear me calling your name. Sadly missed......

Larry & Tiffany

Dax Mogas was our little boy. He was the handsomest little man and he kept all our other boys in order. Dax was kind, loving and never complained. His spirit will always be with us, forever.

Valerie & Sharon

I miss rubbing your curly hair and smelling your fur. I miss you laying right beside me in the bed and not wanting to move. I even miss your whining. I still hear you. I still see you. It's been almost a week now since you decided that you needed to go. I know you were tired and hurting, but selfishly I wish you were still here. Today I was able to let go of your bed, and I took your meds out of the fridge. I love you poodle doodle...God speed.

Jeneal and Bob Scott

To my little pupparzzi.
It is so quiet in the house these days.
I am finding that I have to learn how to do things without you behind me like shower, get dressed, unload the dishwasher, etc.

Even though you were only in my life for 7 months, you made a deep impression in my heart.

I miss you so much and I know we will meet again.
Take care my little buddy and always remember that mommy loves you so much.
Run free and healthy.

Love ya always, Daytona.

Elaine and your 4 feline friends (Felix, Dirty Nose, Scampers and Little Guy)

Dayzee we love you very much! You will be missed by everyone. We know you are in a better place and feeling no pain! We love and miss you always.

Lindsay & Jason Pack

We're so sorry you were so scared of the fireworks and dug out of the backyard.
We love and miss you so much, but will see you again one day -- we promise.
Sleep well our Dazee, sleep well...

Michael Andlinette Hollandsworth

I have no words to describe the wonderful pet and friend she was for me!!!
I will miss her everyday!!!

Holly Mack

I know you left a very long time ago but do remember that I will never forget you. You have been a delightful bunny! I hope everything is well over there. I miss you Debby.

Marta

Debonnaire a.k.a. Debs was the most special and beautiful little chanteuse that ever lived. A sleek, astonishingly brilliant, velvet-eared imp with the heart of a lion and the kind, angelic compassion of a too good not to be true Princesss. When her sister Noriko was ailing - she bid her a kiss as if she knew she wouldn't survive the surgery and when Carmen (the maid) required a little maneuverability to vacuum - Debs lifted a corner of the chair with her paws. I loved you so, Sweetie and we WILL meet again in the Heaven that will be our Second Home. A bientot, my beautiful girl.

Ross Vachon

Debucher Mioche - Little Ian, the tiny hound - he was a champion who worked hard all his life and then came to us for his retirement.
He loved his walks, loved the great outdoors and most of all he loved to eat!!! He made everybody smile wherever he went.
Sleep well, we will always love and miss you.

Lisa & Shaun Corkerry

she was my pretty girl and suffering with masses on her lungs and abdomen--her pain hopefully is over, but not the joy she brought to my life and that of her surviving Big Brother Duke

Patricia Hutchison

Thank you for being my loyal companion for 9 years, kitty Dee!

Margarita Politte

Dee Dee was my best friend, my confidant and angel.
We went through so much together and she always was there for me in good and bad.
I am going to miss her more than I can even imagine. Her loss is still so new but I already miss her welcome home meow and her instant purr when she greeted me.
I have had many pets but Dee was that very special one. I truly believe she was given to me as a gift from above. Her gentle ways, her super kitty powers kept me strong through so much.
I have never felt so numb and heart broken ever. I know she wouldn't of wanted me to be sad, but right now I am numb and heartbroken beyond words.

I thank you Dee Dee for everything you gave me. I will love you and miss you always. I know we will see one another again someday.
Good bye my sweet princess kitty. Mommy loves you forever and always.

Robyn Maslowski

Dee Dee , you were my best friend and the love of my life . I miss and love you so.

Bunny McClure

I miss you my little dumpling doodle dog.
I new you were a special gift when I found you in that dumpster,
starving and near death.
I saved you that day and you paid me back by saving me in return every day you were with me.
My heart is broken,
my precious angel isn't in her usual place.
I look for you,
listen for you,
ache for you.
I miss petting your velvet fur,
your doggie smell,
your positive attitude and your always being by my side no matter where I was,
even in the bathroom.
We were like peas and carrots.
I pray you are no longer in pain and are looking down and thinking how silly I am being because you know we will be together again...someday.
I love you baby girl,
thank you for being my very best friend ever.
I will never,
ever forget you.
Mommy

We love you Little Miss.

Laura

Dee-Oh-Gee Bear was my most beloved angle, I now he was my soul mate and this is so unbelievably hard for us. He was only three I'm so glad I was with him for his life and that he picked me. I love you so much your such a good little boy!!!!

Tri and Heidi Nation

Forever and always in our hearts

Dee and Aimee Abson

This morning, my very special little DeeDee went to sleep after 17 wonderful years. She was the most wonderful little dog and I will always love her. I miss her so badly. So many memories....bless her little heart.

Diane

DeeDee was so full of life....its hard to believe she is gone. The smallest of the bunch, she bullied the bigger dogs. They let her get away with it because she was so pretty and spunky! My heart goes out to my parents, because she was their little princess.

Judy and Glenn

Dear DeeDee, I really miss you girl.
You were my best friend and everyone loved you.
I know how special I was to you and you meant the same to me.
I always think about you and will always love you.
My very special best friend, that is what your were.
Please stay by me, you will always be in my heart. I love you Dee...I will never forget you girl

Barbara A Masseria

Dear Toni...you are still missed. You appeared to me in adream last night and I think its to let me know you are watching over my beloved DeeDee.
You are truly missed and Anthony still feels you were his best friend.
Please take care of DeeDee she loved you.
Hope to see you again someday and you will never be forgotten. Love you forever Toni!

Barbara Masseria

Maybe it is because I was entering my Twilight Years that DeeDee meant so very much to me.
I've had a number of Labradors, but DeeDee's loss maybe was more heartbreaking than usual.

I was 70+ when DeeDee came to me as a gift from a friend and breeder in Stafford, VA.
Newly weaned, DeeDee was flown from VA to CA, and she made the trip like a veteran.

I was still an avid waterfowler and DeeDee was a most welcome addition to the family.
For the next 12+ years DeeDee and I enjoyed many wonderful days of waterfowling and hunting upland birds. DeeDee had a great nose, was an unbeatable retriever, and a well behaved lady.

DeeDee's last trip to the marsh was when she was 12+.
While watching for birds decoying to our blocks and retrieving, DeeDee had the mind and get-up-and-go of a 3- or 4-year-old, but the next day her age showed.
She was so totally exhausted and sore she could hardly move from her bed; she didn't eat, and slept about 16 hours.

Although DeeDee accompanied my son and I to shoot dove on her last year of life, the area we hunted
was a "honey hole" in a walnut grove where DeeDee could easily retrieve downed birds at a leisurely pace.
Just being afield with me and my hunting pals was good enough for DeeDee.
She didn't like to be left home when she knew guns and hunting gear were being loaded in the suburban.

As the months and years rolled by, time was taking its toll on my dear lady friend.
For DeeDee's sake, as much as I hated the responsibility, I played God and arranged for her trip to Rainbow Bridge.
At 0925 hrs., April 10, 2007, DeeDee was put to sleep at home.
Lord, how I do miss my pal.
I am still in tears but am very grateful for the 14+ wonderful years DeeDee and I shared together.

For the past month or six weeks, DeeDee has been going downhill.
She always was picky about her food but it was getting so that she hardly ate at all.
She was in and out of my vets several times for blood tests and examinations to see if we could cure whatever was ailing DeeDee, but the bottom line is, you can not cure old age.

For three years, DeeDee had been on a medication regime, morning and evening, to counter the effects of Addison's disease, in addition to a thyroid problem, and pills to ease the pain of serious arthritis in her right hip.
She was a splendid patient and took her medicine faithfully (8 pills in the a.m., 6 in the p.m.). During her last 4 to 6 weeks, DeeDee's condition took a turn for the worse.

Other vet visit, more x-rays and blood tests showed that DeeDee's kidneys were failing, she had a serious pancreas infection, incurable diarrhea, and the vet suspected DeeDee also had intestinal cancer.
To see if more could be done to help her, DeeDee was hospitalized for 4 days.

DeeDee ate nothing and even began to stop drinking water, which was a bad sign.
DeeDee usually drank a lot of water.
Her large water bowl was filled at least twice daily and again before going to bed in the evening.
Most mornings, the water bowl was half empty.
When DeeDee quit drinking water I knew something was terrible wrong.

The next three weeks were really tough -- on DeeDee and me.
I continued trying to feed DeeDee anything she would eat.

She quit eating dog meal and canned dog food long before, but I was not able to determine what was best for her.
DeeDee was offered steak, veal chops, chicken, turkey, (boiled, broiled, fried, baked, barbecued), eggs, scrambled and hard boiled, ground round, liver, boneless short ribs, lamb chops and ground lamb, salmon, halibut, sardines, anything but hot dogs, sausage, and lunch meat.
The vet said those were not permitted because they are not good for DeeDee's infected pancreas.
My girl's pancreas could not handle the fat.

As always, DeeDee slept in my bedroom her last evening but she was not there when I arose the next morning at 0500 hrs.
Looking for Deedee, I walked from my bedroom, through the hallway leading to the kitchen, and there DeeDee was, spread out on the floor, half in, half out of the kitchen and hallway.
No doubt she was trying to get to her dog door to get outside to relieve herself when she fell.

There was a smeared pile of urine and feces on the hallway tile and kitchen linoleum, which made the floor too slick for DeeDee to stand. I don't know how long DeeDee had to lie in that mess before she was found.

It was obvious that DeeDee had tried to stand up but was unable to get traction enough on the slick tile and linoleum for her weakened legs to lift her.
She had squirmed in her excrement, which made it even more difficult for her to stand.

I did my best to wipe her clean and then helped DeeDee to her feet.
She slowly, unsteadily, walked several yards into the den and collapsed on the rug next to the collection of decorative, hand-carved decoys in from of the TV

I know DeeDee was completely spent and very upset about having messed in the house, so I sat beside her to let her know it was okay, I understood.
Stroking her head, I explained that I had to leave to attend an 0600 hrs. meeting of my church's men's fellowship breakfast, but I would return home as soon as possible.

On my return at 0750 hrs, DeeDee was where I'd left her, still unable to stand by herself.
I finished mopping the kitchen and hallway while watching for any change in DeeDee's condition.
There was none.
My dear old girl had reached her cul de sac of life; DeeDee was worn out.
It was wrong for me to allow her to suffer a lingering death.

As much as I hated to admit it, DeeDee's time had come.
It was in her best interest to make the trip to Rainbow Bridge and I was in tears.

I called my son and he came over to offer his help.
I asked him to call the vet, Dr. Denis Olin. I was too broken up to carry on a decent conversation, so my son made the call for me.

Denis and an assistant arrived at my home about 0910 hrs.
My son greeted them at the front door and then they all joined me on the floor next to DeeDee.

DeeDee had not moved since early morning, but as Chip and I patted and caressed her, she was listening to us, and she made an effort to wag her tail tried to wag.
We told DeeDee we loved her and she was a very special, wonderful dog.
The vet and his assistant squatted next to Chip, DeeDee, and me, waiting for my okay nod to do the needful.

With a broken heart and tears streaming, I give the nod.
Denis shaved a small patch of hair off DeeDee rear left leg to insert the needle and administer the euthanasia drug (pentobarbitone sodium, I believe). DeeDee felt no pain; she didn't flinch.
She took a long, deep breath, gave a little snore, closed her eyes, and her breathing stopped.
It was over at 0925 hrs.
Listening with his stethoscope, Denis waited a few more minutes to confirm DeeDee was on her way to Rainbow Bridge to join her pals and wait for me.

That April 10th was a tough day I shall remember always.
That's life and death.
Thank God time heals all wounds but I will be forever be grateful for the many happy years spent with DeeDee.
She was a great pet in every respect.
DeeDee was an exceptional, outstanding black Labrador retriever bitch, a dear friend, and a loyal companion.

Ray Arnett

You were my first baby.
I will always be grateful for your love and affection.
You brought so much to my life and I will never forget you.

Rest in peace, my sweet DeeDee.
Your loss is so sudden and painful for me.
I was blessed by your love and friendship for 10 years and I'm not sure how I would have made it through some difficult times without you.
Please wait for me at the rainbow bridge.
It may be awhile before I get there but I promise I will come for you.

To Deion Sanders Watt,
Our beloved 'son' and 'brother' to Simba
You brought great happiness into our lives!
You were the kindest dog we've ever known!
You always had a wagging tail and a broad smile for us!
You cared for us and protected us!
You made us laugh by your silly antics with Simba!
You taught Simba how to be a good pet!
You were Larger Than Life, Deion Sanders Watt!
We will always love you and always remember you in our hearts and in our memories!
Some day, we will all be reunited again,
Until then, please take good care of our beloved son, Clinton Watt, who passed away on May 12, 2007.

Maureen and Derek Watt and 'Brother' Simba Riley Watt

Deja was a family member that will always be missed. I am glad she is no longer suffering. I will always love her and cannot wait until I see her again. I love you Deja.

Courtney

Goodbye Deja, Thank You, We Miss You & We Love You.

I'll never forget that feeling of happiness and pride when you came into my life because I still get that feeling everytime I think about you.

Everything seems emptier now that you are gone but I hope to one day fill that emptiness with all the amazing memories and smiles that you have provided over the time we were together.

I could not ask for a more loyal, supportive or special friend. Just by answering the door or sitting on our laps you instantly made every moment special and made life that much more beautiful.

I will think about you sunbathing whenever i gaze out the backdoor and i will recall the feelings of comfort and security that you provided everytime I pull the blankets up to my chin.

If I could turn back time to have you in my life for one more second I would but now I will just have to honor you memory and pass on the lessons of compassion that you taught me.
And one day I will see you again on the "Rainbow Bridge."

Goodbye Deja, Thank You, I am truly Sorry, We Miss You and We Love You More Than Words Can Say.

-Love,
Matt & Sarah
aka Daddy & Mommy

Delila was a precious little baby that we all fell in love with the minute my daughter found her with a starving litter.
She melted our hearts as well as all of the other pets.
My son would carry her around like a baby and she never minded his singing either.
"Hey there Delila" was the song that he sang.
We miss her teribbly.

Lisa Miller

Your life was cut way too short, i wish that we could have spent more time together.
You are loved and missed.

Jason Mullinax

Dearest Little Delilah -

Our meeting was meant to be - in all of eternity, there was a 15 second window of opportunity that I would find you being chased by a cat on a dark deserted street as I took an unusual route home from work late at night on March 1st.
And there you were - a 3 week old, adorable, tiny ball of fur who brought so much to my life and who has changed me forever.
I was able to catch you, take you home and instantly you were a part of the family. Your intelligence and sense of humor were evident from the start and you gifted us with your vitality and sheer joy in living life to it's fullest every single day.

I love you so much, my little girl.
I would have never guessed that a little bunny rabbit could so thoroughly steal my heart.
Where ever you are Delilah, you are my beloved forever - know that your mommy loves you with all her heart, and misses you terribly.
Fee Pee and Caesar send you kitty kisses and lotsa love to their little sister.

Thank you Delilah, for coming into my life, even though it was for such a short time.
You are in my heart forever and a day.

Your Forever Mommy...

Our sweet newly 8 month old Golden, Delilah, was diagnosed with complete kidney failure, and the vets think someone deliberately poisoned our angel. I wish for God to carry her sweet soul with him into heaven. I am still in such deep mourning, but I know her pain is gone now, and she is in complete peace. God Bless Our Delilah!!! Forever!!! Thank you Lord!

Aundria Premo

Delilah

You were a sweet and loving girl.

Thanks for giving us choosing us.

Our 12 years together were wonderful years.

We miss you very much.

Ron Conner

Delilah - you passed away a few minutes after Daddy's Boy - so please keep an eye on your son.
You have been my 'baby' for 8 years now - and I will miss your cuddling and I will miss you trying to snatch food from my plate, and the love you showed to us.
See you at the Rainbow Bridge sweet baby.

Mark Peppard

Dilly Dew you are our loved rooty tooty fruity. Thanks for barking twice to let us know you want two PB crackers, not just one. Thanks for sitting so close to Bill he thought you were a growth on his side. Thanks for keeping him company and welcoming me home many times a day.
You left us suddenly Dec 27th at 8AM and we know you are enjoying every minute in the presence of God in heaven and your friends Misty Lew, Al and all.
We hope you loved your life with us as much as we did with you. We miss you and we love you. For now in our hearts until we meet again, our pretty girl.

Deb and Bill Moore

Our dear little Delilah, now resting in peace.
Gone but never forgotten.
We will miss you so much, love mum & dad & and your little people. xxxxxxxx

Delilah was a wonderful show girl and such a happy go lucky pug, she loved life and everything in life. She was loved by so many and close to colin & helen ( barnfall pugs) who did show her at times for us. With all the wonderful happy times and love she gave us all ,she has left us with wonderful memories to uphold her life, and be able to continue without her. God Bless you always Delilah.
We will never forget you. xxxxxxxxxx
There's something missing in my home,

I feel it day and night.

I know it will take time and strength

before things feel quite right.

But just for now we need to mourn

My heart--- it needs to mend.

Though some may say "Its just a pet"?

I know I've lost a friend.

You've bought such laughter to our home,

and richness to our days¦

A constant friend through joy or loss,

with gentle, loving ways.

Companion, pal and confidante

A friend I won't forget,

You'll live forever in our hearts

My sweet forever pet.

Del & Ian Dunderdale

You brought so much happiness to our lives. You were our snuggle buddy and our best friend. I wish you could have had more than one year on this earth and with us but obviously God had different plans. It brings us peace to know you are no longer suffering. You now have more room to run and play and all the squeeky toys you could ever want... and if you thought we were good masters, you're going to love your new one. He is the Master of all. We'll love you forever D-pants.

Chad and Katie

I didn't fall in love with Della right away. In fact I got her too soon. We were grieving over the death of Delilah, who got killed on the road just before her first birthday. We weren't supposed to have her either. In January 1992 we had to have Mandy put down. It was such a devastating experience, I vowed to have no more dogs. Then in December 1997,our son's girlfriend presented us with a 7 week old puppy, Delilah. She came from the Fort Erie Humane Society. I reminded our son of the no dogs policy. He reassured me that when they got married, Delilah would be going to live with them. But they moved into an attic apartment and couldn't take her.

I made up my mind not to become attached. But when she was killed, we were numb with grief. My sister suggested that I might relieve the guilt and grief by going to the pound and saving another dog's life. Delilah was killed on Sept. 24, 1998 and on October 19th I got Della from the Port Colborne pound.

At first, it was hard because she simply wasn't Delilah, who was so smart. But as time went by, even though Della could be quite annoying: never leave your sandwich within reach, or freshly baked muffins on the counter, we fell in love with her too. She loved to go to the cottage with us. All of the neighbours there had dogs and were quite patient when other dogs would visit. One day our son took Della for a walk and soon he had a total of 5 dogs walking with him. She would put her head under the water in the lake, but wouldn't swim. But without a doubt her absolute favourite thing to do was to EAT!! Her doctor often suggested a diet, with NO people food.

It was a terrible shock to come home one day and find her in the middle of a terrible seizure. She had just been for a check up 5 days before and the vet didn't find anything wrong. I was concerned about some lumps that were forming on her back and legs. She also had lost the sight in one eye. The diagnosis was cataracts. But now I think it was a result of the brain tumour. On May 31st, the next day we took her in and had her put down. We had had her for almost 10 years.

It has been awful getting used to not having her around. Once again we have decided not to get any more dogs and have to go through this again. We have taken her bed and food to the Humane Society. While I was there I was looking at a book they had on the counter. In the introduction, the author wrote: "It takes about 63 days to make a puppy, but more than 63 years for the people who love the dogs they become, to forget them". I know it will take me at least that long to forget Mandy, Delilah and Della.

Joanne Garec

Della Girl,

We love you and miss you sooooo much!
You were so much a part of our family for so many years and will be dearly missed.
You were, and always will be, our pretty girl and will forever remain the sexiest bunny around town.

We will never forget you, as your memory will live on.

Diane and Family

You were my special needs baby who came crying to my window on a rainy day in March 1990.
You slept on my porch for a month and ran away at the sight of me, but I left you food and water and one day in April you decided to move in with me.

We have been together for nearly 18 1/2 years through hard times and good times.
You sat by my side extending your paws so they would just touch my leg or shoulder. You had many illnesses and your failing kidneys finally claimed you.
We sat together one last time last night.
I put your bed next to me on the couch and as weak as you were, you let your little paws touch me.

I wanted you to let go and come to the rainbow brige and I prayed to G*d to take you there.
This morning you let me know it was time.
I took you to the vet. When the nurse brought me your body wrapped in a baby quilt, I knew you were on your way to the Rainbow Bridge.
When my time comes I will come to find you there.

Mom loves you so very much.

Robin L. Daskin

Probable brain tumour at the age of eleven years. I bought my first German Shepherd in 1967 and have never been without one since. Doesn't feel good.

Christine

Delta was very special to me she was my best friend and my protecter she had lots of puppies for me to love she loved me when i didnt love myself. she was sad when i would cry and she wouldnt leave my side when i was sick. when our hoouse burned in 2004 she was the one who alerted us to the fire, and she had just had a puppy the night before. she had a massive heart attack and passed away in my bed. she woke me about 3am livking my chin and at 4 am she died I miss her everyday and i know that there will be other puppies but never another DD. Her life long mate also misses her.

Linda Cooper

You were my first best friend. We were always there for each other. We miss you very much. I will miss the time we spent together and taking care of you like a child. I will see you again one day, until then be happy and cheerful as you have always been. You are now in a better place.

You will always be in our hearts. We love you Demen.

Shay, Jarvis, Marcus & Joshua

If I would sing a song for you

it would be one of love and loss,
of memories and times so sweet,

of happiness that was.

I’d sing about our youth gone by

and how we shared the years,
when noone else was there but us

to wipe away the tears.

Companions we, through everything

that life would bring our way,
work wasn’t work when you were there

to brighten up my day.

Today we had to say goodbye

My heart is full and sad,
I hope you know that you were loved

With everything I had.

If God allows, I hope to see

your sweet face one more time,
if paradise is what I hope

then all you were and all you gave
will once again be mine.

Karin and Dennis

Demon, know that Greg loves you. Know that I've grown to care about you too. We know you haven't been feeling well for quite some time. Your body is running down and can no longer accommodate your lively spirit.
But soon you're going to feel no more pain, no more hunger, no more thirst. Unfortunately, where you are going Greg nor I can not come with you just yet. In a moment, God will send one of His angels. The angel will take you to that special place. A place where you can run, have all the wet food or fast food burgers you want. You'll be able play in the sun all day, nap wherever you want, be outdoors, lick all the plastic you want. You are one of God's blessed little creatures. You were His when He created you. We are lucky God let us take care of you for a short while. God will be looking after you now. Some day, and I don't know when, you'll recognize a very familiar face walking through the gates of Heaven. When you see that face, I want you to run up to him, jump into his arms and rub your face all over his, and make the biggest purring sounds you can. That person will be just as happy to see you as you will to see him. Until then, I 'say good night, not goodbye.'"

Greg Agahigian & Edmund Belleza

Demon was a very special, affectionate all black kitty.
He traveled the country with me by car and by plane and was always there for me.
I miss the fun times we had!
I love you Demon!

Bob Donovan

We love you buddy. We hope you found peace. Have fun chasing the squirells and bunny rabbits. We'll watch over your baby and keep her safe. Sandy and Cheyenne are waiting for you on the other side. We'll never forget you. We Love You!

Justin & Beth Yelton and Family

Demonica was a sweet and loving puppy. who dies too soon and even as the parvo took her streght she faught hard to try to get better. She will be missed and always loved by her family.

Crystal Shannn

Words cannot express how much joy you brought into our lives.
There is a big hole in our hearts.
We will cherish the time we had together.
Sleep tight pooh-face.

Jason & Janine

My Darlin' Dempsey....I miss you so much!
I was so lucky to have you in my life!
We shared 9 yrs. of wonderful memories.
You were truly the best dog.
You are always close at heart!
I love you!

For Denali, my sister Lynn's loving pet.
He was sick with cancer and lost the battle this past Friday.

Amy

Our beautiful boy and BEST FRIEND. ALWAYS remembered and ALWAYS LOVED

Jodi Albert and Brian Demartino

Dennis we love and miss you so much. No words can describe the emptiness we feel in our hearts. You were a very special fur baby and you will never ever be forgotten.
Lots of cuddles and kisses from Mummy,Daddy,Jaime and Jasper XXXXXXXX

Angela, Simon & Jaime Ireland

I adopted Dennis from the humane society at the age of 4 months, how his previous owners could have relinquished him I will never know because he grew up to be one of the most loving, affectionate, social cats I have ever known.

Right from day one Dennis was the head of the house, the leader of the pack, even my yellow lab Thunder moved for him (or risked getting swatted in the nose).
Very stubborn, never one to shy away from telling me exactly what he thought, he was a very vocal little man right up to the day he went to Rainbow Bridge.

In April 2007 Dennis was diagnosed with a necrotic liver, February 2008 with renal failure, and on March 27 2008 suffered a stroke.

After watching him for the weekend and speaking in great length with his veterinarian today, I made the heartbreaking decision to free him of his illnesses.
He was one day shy of his 16th birthday.

Due to the stroke, Dennis was no longer able to stand or walk on his own without risking injury to himself, and other medical issues (anemia, hyperthyroidism, dehydration) meant his chances of recovery were very slim and I also questioned his quality of life at this stage.
Dr. Jones assured me that any further attempts at treatment would only prolong the inevitable and most likely only for another couple of weeks.

I was fortunate to be able to take some time off work in order to be with him in his last days when he needed me the most.
I am confident Dennis was in no pain when he passed and have to believe Thunder met him at the Bridge and will take good care of him from here on.
16 years is a lot of time to give and receive the unconditional love only a pet can provide, and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to share my life with him for so long.
I already miss him terribly, my heart has been broken again.
I have the memories and pictures now and in time will look upon them with great fondness.

Until we meet again little man....

Roslyn Friesen

Our poor Denver was taken from our us in a cruel and unthinkable way.
You where more to our family then a pet.
Tiffany is so upset without you.
I wish we would have protected you better.
We will miss you forever.
Rest in peace my friend.

Brian Storrs

You were the most wonderful friend anyone could ever ask for.
We sit and remember the day we brought you home, a wonderful ball of fluff.
Who knew you were going to become a 120 pound lap dog?
HA HA
You will be so missed our sweet baby.
We will be lost without you. We are so lucky to have had you for so long.
We just wish it could have been forever.
But now my baby you are at peace without any more pain. We know that one day we will again be reunited, and will once again know the unconditional love you gave us for 12 1/2 years.
Sleep peacefully our sweet little boy.

All Our Love Forever,

Mommy, Daddy, Chrissy & Haley

We miss you.
You will always be in my heart.

Delores and Vicki

We came so far together, my little green-eyed alpha cat. I miss your little cat smile, your little leathery bat ears and your bouncing step. You would have stayed if you could. I know because I saw you trying. Wait for me, tiny...

Martha

Derri was sent to sleep on the 19 Feb, he had a massive tumour on his front leg and surgery was not an option.
He had been
my jukal since he was 6 weeks old, we were life mates, it was into his scruff I cried when ponies/goats/or other much loved pets passed on, he was always there when I needed a paw to comfort me or a
wet grubby paw to mess my clean pants.
He gave his all,
asking nothing in return but a gentle hand, walks and a good meal.
Finn[his son] and Gypy the labmmation miss you, as do I , far more than any words I can write here..
We will meet again mande mui, one day soon, you , me Toby, Shade, Shadow and all those gone before us...Bright Blessings till then.
May Warm Winds Blow Your Soul Safe Home.

Toni McMaster

Derry, Thank you for being the best companion we have ever had. You were a wonderful traveller, having been with us in all forty-eight states. We will always cherish the pictures of you walking in the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. There will always be an empty space in our travels and in our hearts.We love you.

Shirley Marlatt

Desdemona came to me when she was six months old from a rescue group. I had her for four short, wonderful, laughter filled years.
She died at 4 1/2 years old of a brain tumor.
In honor of what would have been her fifth birthday, I post this tribute to my sweet little girl. She brought great joy to everyone who knew her.

Linda Kesterson

My father and I rescued Dezzy from a rather bad home, took him into our care and fed him, loved him and played with him. He was always very patient, even if a
bit stand-offish at first.Dezzy was only in my life for 2 years or so, but in that time we became best friends, him and I. he taught mt to have confidence in myself, and to take life in stride.
Rest easy, Dezzy.

Jamie

Desi was the most most loving pet ever; she brought joy and happiness to our lives.

Patricia Hardiman

Desi, You were a light in my life when times were dark. I will miss you more then anyone can imagine.

Jackie Warner

My poor Desi is gone today.
I am still in shock.
I pray there is a place for him somewhere, another plane of existence--there has to be.
Somewhere in some universe he is still alive, in some aspect or time, maybe only slightly different than mine.
I love him so much.
He has been with me for fourteen years--since I was ten years old.
I can't believe he is gone.
I still look for him.
I want him to come out from some closet or from under the chair or off the bed--please come, Desi.

Jon Hillegass, Jr

Desi came to us as an abused puppy, with many challenges. With lots of love, she opened up her heart to us. She is truly missed. She loved basking in the sun, even in the hottest weather. May the eternal light shine brightly on her.

Nicole Salvatore

As a close and personal friend of the family, I got to know and love Destiny. I love dogs and have one of my own. I know first hand the close personal connection that an owner feels for their pet - their family - their baby. Destiny was a very loving pet and a joy to be around. She loved her mommy & daddy... and they loved her. She will truly be missed. My heart goes out to the family.

Chandra Polite

My closest companion, one who spoke to me and lit my life. The joy he brought me and I brought me will never be replicated. He was the reason to return home, he lightened the heavy loads of my life. His unconditional love is better than an tangible object, any other connection.

Karen Azarchi

Dearest Dew, Its with great sadness that both Dad and I chose to end your life with both of us and your buddy Smokey today. We don't want you to have to suffer.

Carrie

"Doo" was our special ol' man...a genuinely good pet/friend/companion. He was devoted, loyal, loving and a real buddy to us.
He gave us unconditional love and attention at all times; never whined or complained even when we knew he was hurting..a better pal noone could ask for. We will miss him every day and think of him always and look forward to seeing him at the 'Bridge'. P S Taco said 'hi' & he misses you terribly!

Evelyn & Sean

I love you and miss you...my special little buddy. You will always be with me in my heart. It was the most painful decision to have to make but it was even more heartbreaking to see you so miserable. I miss having you jump up on the couch to sit next to me each night. Bless you my precious little honeybear. I love you!

Susan Foss

To Our Dearest Dewey
You were my first little boy and you loved me perfect from day one.
We have a bond that transcends the physical realm and we take comfort in knowing that you are at peace and free of suffering.
We are confident you know how dearly you were cherished as you walked the earth and through our hearts.
You will always be there, cherished and remembered.
Thank you for all the joy your life of 16.5 years has given us. Until we meet again, our dear friend may Heaven keep you safe and loved.

Camille and Linda

Dexter was a 4 pound ball of fire. My step-mom and dad got him for me for a graduation gift. He was black, white and tan. He had the cutest little apple head. He was the best. 3 months later my boyfriend got me a girl who looked just like him. They could have been twins.. (not kidding) Only him and I could tell them apart. We took those dogs everywhere with us. Even on vacations..Dexter was taken form when he was attacked by another dog (big big dog)One bite was all it took. He died in my arms before my parents could get to my house. I can say honestly that it was and still is the worst day of my life. I went though 5 long months of greiving. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my little baby and how much I miss him. Dexter and Pellie had been together their whole lives so when we lost Dexter we almost lost Pellie as well. She didn't eat for day and wondered around the house looking for him. (We both did.) Months after he passed I would see him out of the corner of my eye or here him at night or even feel him jump onto the bed while I was sleeping. The date was 02-10-04 when he was taken from me. I never really beleived the saying that time heals wounds. I do now, it has been 4 long years since I lost my son, and with each day that passes it does get a little bit easier.

Kristy

Dexter, our sweet boy. We had you for so long you became part of us.
Enjoy playing with the angels baby boy.
We love you.

Dianne, Pat, Bruce

Safe passage for our 'gimped up' little pup.
May he rest in peace.

The Keadles

Dexter - you are loved and missed every single moment of everyday !!

Angie, Perry and Blake

Dexter, I miss you so much.
I was with you to the end, I held you and whispered to you as you took your last breath in this life.
You have been my best friend and companion.
You saw me through a lot of difficult times.
You touched so many lives and taught me what true unconditional love is.
I will never forget you.
You were a wise soul, a special dog who loved all and when someone was sad, you helped them.
Either by licking their tears or laying your head on their lap.
You loved squirell chasing and caught one before you went.
I miss you baby, I love you.
My life will never be the same because of the love you gave me.

Amy Drew

Dexter, we miss you so much.
You were a very special soul.
We will look forward to holding you again one day.
We love you so very much, sweet kitty

Melissa, Jenna, Alex, Duane

Dexter was an abused stray who was found by a friend.
She didn't have room for him, so I took him
in.
He helped me through a divorce, financial troubles, grief, loss and countless other challenges life threw my way.
He was my constant devoted companion.
Whenever I would travel, he would grieve until I would return.
Because of him I can honestly say I know what love and devotion truly means.
His death was unexpected and painful.
I held him and sang to him until the end. I miss my Baby Doodlebug, but his is in a better place.

Maggie Williams

Dexter became a part of our family in 1989 and was loved unconditionally from day one. He was one of the smartest dogs I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. A reincarnated spirit,..i always thought...he used to be a kind man in a past life. Whenever I cried, he was there to put his head on my lap. Whenever a fight occurred, he broke it up. He brought my dad to tears today...we will never forget you, part of the Platek family.

Victoria, Eric and Agnes Platek

We lost one member of our family. Dexter, you were a hero! You were the most brave, intelligent, sweet, gentle, loving and loyal companion. You showed our family the true value of friendship and loyalty. We thank you for saving Andy from our burning house, for all of the sparks of love you spread around
and for all of those great moments we spent together.
Our heart is broken, life is empty without you and we will miss your furry face and loving eyes forever.
We know that you loved us as much as we loved you and we’ll never forget you. Thank you for bringing us so much happiness.
You are and will be greatly missed forever.
Frias Family

We will truly miss you Dexter, all your hugs and kisses..everything about you. We will cherish all the memories we've had together and we will never ever forget you langga. We will see eachother again because God is good. He records all our tears and he knows how i'm in grief at you departure. He will restore everything that was once lost in our lives and i'm sure we will be together again in the end to live and love in eternity. WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH..'TIL WE MEET AGAIN!

Wanda

How it hurt to know that you were gone, I feel I let you down. I just need you to know I loved you very much and I will never forget you or forgive myself.You were a awsome pup. I will always love you.

Resa George

My beautiful girl.
Thanks for letting me look after you.
You were my gift from God, and I miss you every second.
You are with the Kapoople and the Pooky Bear now.
Your pain is over.
I love you and always will with all my heart.

Charmaine Swingburn

Time is starting to heal us but we will never forget your special love us gave all of us or your unforgetable look you had.
This has been the hardest thing we as a family have had to deal with. Our empty home is just not the same.
We ask God to help us each day to deal with your our loss. We check on your grave site all the time. We know you are in rainbow heaven waiting for us, but it still hurts so much.
Your love is one that can never be replaced nor shall we try to. Our hearts are so very empty and heavy. Dezi thank you again for all your love.
Words can not explain how you touched our lives and still do each day. Whoever dropped you off at the Humane Society in 1994 we thank you and that person does not know what they missed love you could have touched them with.
Gone from site but never out of our minds or hearts.

Sharon Agee

With all our LOVE wubs!! Rest in Peace...we will think of you everyday...you were my best friend! Love forever TC & CV

I just want to be able to remember my beloved Dharma who went to be with the Lord.
You are gone, but most certainly never forgotten.
I love you, my Dharma

Dharre and Dhmarr,,,We love you

Cindy and Bob Olmsted

Diablo, You are THE BEST DOG in the whole universe.
Even when your name almost became Elmer, you were great.
Everyone remembers you hitting your knot on the bottom of the table and sitting on couch waiting on your cigar.
Even when you thought anything you could see out the front door was in your yard.
I love Dobles and will always, always have you in my heart.

Sheryl McKenzie

Diamond, no more suffering sweet little one, you are with the angels now.
When Eric put the Angel on your grave and said he wanted the angels to find you, you couldn't have been more loved.
We miss you.

Pamella

Diamond was truly Rand's best friend. She came as a little black furball, the runt of the litter. She came home on the day after Christmas 1992. She was smart, loving, well-behaved, and singly adored her loving Master. I came to live with Rand and Diamond and Oscar (7years old and grieving for his friend) in January 2005. Diamond immediately let me in her heart and she captured mine.
Diamond was just the best black dog ever. She was our girl and we will miss her sorely for the rest of our days.

Randolph Dular and Julia Maguire

I love you Diamond

Nancy

such a wonderful part of out family he will be greatly missed

Lisa

In her lifetime, Diamond overcame parvo, two surgeries(right and left)on her anterior crucia ligaments, endured insulin shots twice a day for 3 years and the blindness that unfortunately was a result of the diabetes.
She couldn't overcome the cancerous tumor that developed on her heart which resulted in a cough from the fluid that built up in her lungs.
We will meet again at the rainbow bridge with no diabetes and her full sight regained!

Bonnie Young

Diamond and his sister were feral kittens, two of ever-so-many that our group feeds in the center of town. They were trapped at four months, too old, perhaps, to tame, but Diamond and Moonlight proved they had the desire and love to be domesticated and eventually to find wonderful homes. Diamond was a brilliant white, with spots of gray tabby; his sister was white with black spots. Diamond slept on the bed with us, cuddled in our arms, and played with the other foster cats here until he was exhausted. He and his sister loved each other so much--when we brought him out of his "sick room" to visit his friends, she came and lay next to him, her head against his. Diamond fought FI, but this awful kitty disease took him from us. We will remember him, and we, along with his sister, will grieve for his loss. Fly high, little Diamond! We will look for you across the bridge.

Mickey Platko

We had a nice graveside farewell for our beloved puppy, Diamond today, just before sunset. We helped daddy dig Diamond's resting place and he built her a nice casket. Miss Lora took pictures so we'd have memories of you.
We are thankful to the person who moved you out of the road.
Miss Lora covered you with a white towel this morning until daddy could bring you home.
You looked like you use to sleep with your paws slightly bent.
We love you so much.
We buried you with your blanky, favorite squeak toy, plastic bone and chew toy. Although your life was very short, you were treated better than a lot of children we know. No number of words can express the deep loss we feel right now.
We had planned so many fun things for you this summer.
You were so much fun and so smart. You were more than just a puppy. Mom rocked you in her arms like you were her baby. We don't think you knew you were a dog. You acted too much like a happy little kid. An important part of our family is gone, but will never be forgotten.
Love you and miss you... Always,
Your family

Diamond Girl and her brother Shadow came to us when their family moved away and left them to fend for themselves. Diamond Girl was a very happy kitty. She would greet us at our front walk whenever we came home and walk us to the car when we left. She was very fond of our Husky, Cody. She and her brother would join us in our daily walks. She especially would rub up under Cody's chin and run under his belly while walking. Such a sweet thing to see. She is so missed by all of us but we know she was greeted by Smokey Bear and they are running and playing together until Cody joins them. Thank you Diamond Girl for the love you gave us in such a short period of time. Love Always, Janet, Scott, Cody & Samantha

Dibble will always be special in our hearts and he is the best friend anyone could wish for.We will never forget his boundless energy and love for life which he had to the very end.Liver cancer took him away from us but he will be in our thoughts every minute of every day.He was loved by so many and will be sadly missed, our daily life will never be the same but the memories will be with us for ever.I love my boy forever

Alan & Jackie McNaughton

It's been 3 years since I lost you. I still have your friend Ruger you did a good job teaching her, but there is no dog that can replace you. You gave your whole heart to me and I still miss you so much! I don't think I'll ever find the friend I had with you. My heart hurt so bad the day you left me I hope you are there waiting for me, I can't wait to see you again, the day you left me a piece of me went with you. See you at the bridge baby girl!!! LOVE YOU mom

Lament For Dickens

I am Grief.
I am the face of the broken-hearted.
Appetite has left me and Sleep avoids me.
I am marked by my sorrow.
Misery has pierced my heart and my very soul is sad.
This is the day I sent my good friend, Dickens, to his
Peaceful, Forever Home.
I want him to wake and run to me as he did in last night’s dream.
I want him to be well and happy again, loved beyond measure.
I want, I want, I want my sweet, special boy back again.
But I can’t make it happen, not the way I want, I want, I want.
And so I will let him go, let him take his lovely Tabby face
And his loving Tabby heart to where he will be able to be
A complete cat again.
A place he will know and recognize once he gets there.
But I am here, left behind, nursing his memory.
My heart that had grown to hold his love grows again to contain my pain.
I feel it break even as I try to cry the hurt away.
I am bereft. I am sorrowful.

I am Grief.

Betty

My Didgy Girl was a rescue cat, not quite warmed up to most humans but warmed up to me and my husband. Her and I had a special bond and I will miss her for ever. I have lost other animals, Jo Shicken, Sugar, Muck Boy, Shelby,and these were all cats but Shelby was a Chow Sheapard mix whom was put down at age 13 from epilepsy. God has all my babies now.

Sandra Vista-Klag

Didi, you were so young, but we loved you from the moment you were born.
You were not sick - why did you have to go??
We miss you!!!

Vibeke Lind

Diego only had six years on this earth with us, but he touched many lives with his sweet, loving personality.
No matter who it was, he would come right up to them, get in their lap, and in their face to cuddle and get kisses.
He loved kisses on his soft little face.
Diego could always be found wrapped up in a blanket, a pile of clothes, someone's coat, or just sprawled out on the carpet next to the wood stove.
His favorite spot was basking in the sunshine, whether outside on the deck, or somewhere in the house where the sun was shining through the window.
Diego was diagnosed with Addison's disease when he was three.
The vet told us that with treatment, he would have a normal life.
Unfortunately, more complications arose that were not related to the Addison's and last night we had to rush him to the vet and end his suffering.
It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but I held him in my arms and talked to him, hoping to provide some form of comfort to him as he passed from this world to the next.
It's not fair that his time was so short.
I know it's been less than 24 hours, but I feel as though this will never stop hurting.
Diego was the sweetest, cutest, most loving dog ever, and my children, although they're suffering from his loss right now, are lucky to have had him as part of their lives.
He was our baby boy, and I hope he is in heaven sun bathing, playing with the other doggies and kitties, and watching over us.
Some day we will see you again sweet baby boy.
We love you.

Kristin, Steve, Kaylyn, Megan & Erin

Diego was a toothless old cat I found on the street.
I brought him home. He quickly became the head indoor cat.
He was well mannered and
a gentleman.
He had lots of medical needs and I tended to them as best I could.
After almost two years, he was having more bad times than good.
I did what I could for him and it broke my heart I couldn't do more.
He was a great cat!

Ana Haget

The fish was a 4 year olds. His name is Timothy.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we had to put our beloved Diesel to sleep today.

He has gone to heaven and is no longer in pain and misery.

No longer will epilepsy control his life and take over his body.

It was the hardest thing we have ever had to do.

My baby would have been 4 years old on Wednesday. He was a beautiful St Bernard and Rebel's big brother and best friend. I just hope that Rebel won't suffer too much in the following days as he couldnt breathe without his big bro around.

Even though we had to do it for his own good - it still hurts like hell he is not here. I guess us as humans are selfish and want our pets around forever.

Even spending hundreds of dollars a month couldn't keep Diesel with us and happy, but at least I know we gave him the best life possible with the short time we were lucky enough to call him OUR DOG

Lisa Dobrowolski

We miss you - take care of "Phoebe" & "Katt"

Ken & Linda Mathers

DIESEL

IM SORRY I DIDNT KEEP YOU SAFE AND I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME.I WILL MISS YOU ALWAYS AND YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART AND SOUL.I LOVE YOU. YOU WERE MY LITTLE MAN.

Dorothy

You are remembered and loved boy!

Michael & Nikki Thornton

She was my guardian angel. She took care of me as much as I took care of her. If there ever was an example of a soulmate, she was the living embodiment
of one. I miss her so much.

Megan Sinclair

We miss you already Big D.. or as dad called you "Brother". You were only with us a short time
but you took our hearts from day one.
Always looking for treats in our pockets & always being the first one to the gate.
I'm sooo sorry - I wish I knew what happened.
God got a special gentleman today.

Lisa & Curt

Diesel: Mom,Dad,KD,Lady, & Cocoa love you! Vet's gave you 3 weeks to live, yet you stayed with us for 10 monthes.
The Bone Cancer ravaged your body but not your love of life or duty to your family.
Run again my son, enjoy and soon we will be together again!
Listen for my whistle, I'll look for your grin and ears flopping as you trot back to my side where you belong, my best friend.

Blessings,
your family

A sweet bully...a good dog with a great heart.
Cancer took your body but you will live on forever in my heart.
Words can't explain how much I miss you.
Rest in Peace sweet boy.
Until we meet again.......

Anthony

Why did it happen. Why wasnt I here.

I still feel you here, and i am waiting for you to pop up and for this to just be a bad joke. How i wish this wasnt true. The house feels so empty with out you. things will never be the same. You made me a better person, and you loved me and everyone else unconditionally.To say that you wil be missed is an understement. I love you always.

Loremi

Diesel came into our life just about three years ago.
He was our first four legged pet in our family.
We could not have asked for any better pet to join our family.
He completed our family, he came everywhere with us and even enjoyed in our vacations.
He made us laugh and showed us great love.
The only thing that was unfair in his life was god took he at such a young age and took him from our family.
We are happy he is not suffering any more and we miss him very much.

Marcy, Michael, Amanda and Matt Lynn

Diesel was my protector and faithful companion. He was with me during my pregnancies when I was on bed rest. He was always by my side. He was given to us by a teacher who did not care for him and did not have the time for him. She would keep him crated in her garage for hours on end. He developed a mental trauma from this treatment. He also began to obsessively lick his feet. Despite medication it did not change. He bit our girls 3 different times. Because he had bitten, no adoption agencies would take him. We had to put him to sleep. I was with him right up until his last breath. He is still with me,in my heart. I have his ashes but it is still not the same.

Lisa Smith

The greatest cat ever, and prettiest, too.
She lived life to the fullest, never passing up the chance to take a good sunbath.

Elizabeth Boretz

My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today.

Kelly

Digger was the dearest friend and companion I have ever had.
He tried to do everything that I did. He had a huge heart and spirit in his little body.
He really believed he was human and I believed it too.
We had a wonderful life together and he will be missed.
I hope to see him and his sister Little Bear waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Claire Lombardi

Digit (a.k.a. DidgieRamaDana, Ms. Didge, The Didgimatic) was my beautiful calico who had seven extra toes. She had an almost perfect mask and a round cafe au lait spot on her chin.
Her green eyes set off the intense oranges and blacks on her calico saddle.
Her fur was like thick velour.
She chatted with me and at me.
In her nearly seventeen years, she sat on only two or three laps beside mine.
She had a very definite personal boundary known only to her, until you crossed it. Then she'd do a laying on of teeth.
Although my friends feared her, I could flip her upside down and hold her like a baby.
I miss her desparately.

Mary Kelley

Although Digit was with us only from age 10 to 14 he taught us all the meaning of unconditional love. He passsed so quickly that not all of us got a chance to say goodbye. We love him very much.

He will be dearly missed.

Steve and Peggy Withers

Thank you for making our life more wonderful by your beautiful presensce and loving, sweet nature. You are the best "silly kitty" in the world. We love you Digit.

Ginger and Phil Hamilton

Dillon came into our lives secondhand. He was a fine dog and companion extrordinaire. He taught me more than I can ever thank him for. He will always be in my heart and thoughts. We miss him so.

Anne

My beloved Dillon, I will always love you so much, my big palooka. You were my best friend in the world and I miss you dearly. Everything I touch and see reminds me of you. First I cry, then I smile, thinking of all the wonderful times we shared. How much you loved to go the beach and on your walks. It will never be the same without you. I hope you are happy and healthy over the rainbow bridge.
Hugs, kisses and much love,
Momma

Dillon...Mama loves you so very much...still. The love and joy you brought to me, Daddy and Cheyenne will forever live in our hearts. We miss you terribly and our tears are unstoppable. Our home is so empty and so quiet without you there. I miss hearing your steps. I miss the jingle of your collar.

We are torn apart inside that we could not do more for you, but it would not have been a good quality of life for you...and you deserved that and so much more, my baby boy. You were such a funny boy. You were such a good boy. So comical and so verbal. Your playfulness and "booty-up-in-the-air" pose when you wanted to play used to light up our days and nights.

What I will miss the most my baby, are the quiet mornings, every morning, we used to share. God only knows how badly I hurt for you. I miss you so much I feel like I can't deal without you, Dillon. The quiet times between me and you are the most memorable. I will miss giving you all those special hugs and kisses, and massaging your ailing legs.

If only I could hold you a bunch of times again. If only I could kiss your nose like I always did.If only I could give you big, smushy kisses all over your face. If only we could "high five" each other like before. If only you could just be home with us again.

But be free now baby. Nothing will ever hurt you or ail you ever again. Run freely with your brother Clyde and play, play, play!

Dillon, you were the best "son" we could have ever had. Please know that Mommy, Daddy and Cheyenne loved you with all our hearts. We will miss you very much, but hope to see you again at the end of our lives.

But be free now, boy. Run, play and jump with your brother Clyde. Nothing will ever ail you or hurt you ever again.

Hugs, love and kisses from your family. God Bless You, momma's baby boy.

Lillian Y. Padilla

You will be forever in our hearts, my beautiful baby.

Brad and Anisha Carter

Three years ago about this time I had told myself that I was going to get all of my Christmas decorations out. I had been in the pet care business for 12 years and the closest thing to decorations I saw was perhaps a string of lights around my desk. It was like opening presents as I had forgotten much of what I had. I even found this tiny stone nativity scene that I set up on my coffee table.
A couple of nights later Dilly and I got into bed and I rolled over on something. Dilly had put baby Jesus and Joseph in bed. I laughed and put them back on the coffee table. The next night it was baby Jesus and one of the wisemen .. which I put back as well.
Thennnn, it got to be justtttt baby Jesus!!!... Everynight.. so I thought ok Dilly has baby Jesus for a friend now. This is a good thing. When Christmas was over, I put the decorations away. Well, Dilly looked all over for baby Jesus. So of course I dragged the stuff back out, got baby Jesus out for her and she was happy. Every night she carried baby Jesus to bed with us and every morning she carried him to her bed in the living room for the day. Baby Jesus was sooooo tiny that I couldn't even see it in Dillys mouth. It dawned on me that I should call my vet about this . So I called him and told him that if I ever called in hysterics telling him that he has to take baby Jesus out of Dilly, not to think I've not lost my mind but that Dilly would have swallowed baby Jesus. His comment was that he hoped he never saw an x-ray with baby Jesus there.
When some kind of stress would come into my life, I would tell Dilly to get baby Jesus and have a serious chat with him and to get his butt in gear. As I knew she had a direct connection.
I remember one Sunday morning in church and Carol McGarry almost in a dead run down the aisle saying that she had justtt heard about Dilly and baby Jesus.. I could have crawled under the pew.
Dilly was blessed by 2 preachers, once with Carol's Ruger and most recently when she became ill. Between the blessings and baby Jesus, she is one blessed shorthair!!
Then we adopted Ruby. Dilly met Ruby and said it was ok. Ruby did not understand the baby Jesus and Dilly relationship. So, during the day, I would pick baby Jesus up and then give him back to Dilly at night.
This year, there is just baby Jesus, Ruby and I. You see, on Friday, Nov 14th, Dilly went to see the real baby Jesus and all of the gorgeous shorthairs that have blessed us. As Judy said, "they don't get to stay with us for long, but what they give us is such an amazing gift."
Ruby and I have talked about Dilly and baby Jesus. She smells baby Jesus and knows that Dilly is still there. And she seems to be very careful with baby Jesus. Ruby says that Dilly and baby Jesus will always be with us. In the meantime, I am going to keep a watchful eye on Ruby and baby Jesus. The only thing you can trust a year and a half shorthair to do is to get into mischief.
I will get Ruby a new shorthair friend but not until she can come into her own and be the number one dog for awhile. I thought I would share this story of Dilly and baby Jesus with all of you so that I could thank you for all that you do for this beautiful breed and to thank you for blessing me with Dilly and now Ruby.
With tears and smiles wishing you all a blessed holiday season!!!
Lisa and Ruby

Always so loving - I really miss your cuddles and my clothes being covered in hair! I hope you found Kim quickly cause you din't like being on your own. Now, me and this home are empty.

Sue Apps

To our Gorgeous little man Dimmey. We knew you were special as soon as we brought you home, you were mum and dads first baby together. I dont know why you had to leave us so soon you were still so young. Thank you for all the love you gave us in your short life. You stayed with us when Licky went missing, she was your first girlfriend and you missed her so much we brought Ginge home for you and you soon became the terrible two. You would do everything together its so hard to see her now,she is constantly walking around looking for you expecting you to come out from one of your hiding spots, We still expect that too.
We love you and miss you so much DimDim it hurts, We would give anything to have you back even for one more cuddle, but we can't. Sleep peacefully little man there is no more pain. Till we meet up again. We will always love you.
LOVE Mum & Dad & Sandy,Pusscat,Frankie,Ginge,Molly. X0X0X0X0

Our dear Dinah was a wonderful cat who came to live with 1 month after we bought our home.
She found a space in our barn and decided to stay, both on our property and in our hearts.
Over the years she settled into a routine of greeting us when we would come and go from work.
She came in on cold mornings for warm milk and snacks, and always had her 2 meals outside of our kitchen door.
We feel a tremendous loss this day...as we found that she had been hit by a car.
We will always love her and hold her close to our hearts.
We hope that our Aunt Virgina has found her near the Rainbow Bridge and will enjoy her as much as we have.
Thank you Dinah for being a part of our lives!

Bethany and Alfonso

Dinahs compassionate and calming spirit wil forever live on.
She wan in intelligent, peace loving dog who was a real mother goose with other animals

Paul E. Vondra

My beautiful Baby was loved by all and loved all with her enire heart. She gave so much to everyone she met and recieved much love, brushes, cuddles and kindness in return. I doubt that I will ever encounter another cat with such empathy and affection as long as I live. I promise to think
of my girl everyday, and keep smiling, even in her absence as she would hate to see me cry. I will miss her and fondly remeber her with pleasent memories a heavy heart and a longing for our reunion at the rainbow bridge. Mama loves you...XOXOXOOXOX

Love
Mom, Dad & all the other people who loved you.

One of the earliest members of the family I can remember, Dinky was a special rabbit. No one can take her place.

Erin

I've never been loved as much as Dino loved me.I had ten dogs before him, and when each of them died, I was very sad and grieved for all of them. But this time it feels like part of myself is gone too. I only spent 3 days away from Dino, when my Grandmother died. He refused to eat until I came home. He goes most places with me, or I try not to leave him very long. He always seemed to understand that I'd be back and never tore up anything, or seemed anxious. But I never again left him for more than a few hours. Dino seemed to know if I was having a bad day, and he made me laugh, even when I didn't want to. We came home one evening and surprised a burglar. I hate to say it but I just stood there and the guy was coming right for me. Suddenly he was on the floor, yelling to get Dino off of him. I ran out the door and Dino let go of him and ran behind me. I remember that the burglar was running behind Dino until he got to the door and went the other way. The police said they were able to catch him because of the wounds Dino gave him. I didn't always admit to it but Dino slept with me in my bed. It's also what I miss the most. A couple people have said that he lived for quite a long time. He was almost 15 and that's not long. Dogs never get enough time.

Teresa Lee

For my beloved Dior who was taken from me without warning.
We were walking home and a pit bull attacked him and killed him.
He was such a gentle spirit with so much love to give.
I love you and miss you Dior!
Mommy don't know how to say goodbye to you so I hope in heaven you are love by many as you were here on earth.

Sandy Lee

Dippity was a little sweetheart.
She was scheduled to be euthanized when she was 5 days old, and I am so grateful it didn't happen and that I was so fortunate as to be her friend for nearly 15 years.
I will miss her greatly.
I hope that she is reunited with her big brother, Oreo.
She loved him.

Claudia

Dippy was my favorite of all the dogs who have been in my life. He developed fibrosarcoma, and had to be euthanized after a year and a half battle with the disease. I know he is in a better place now.

Liz Yerkes

You came a cheered so many, now your in the next world doing the same.
Rest in peace Dippy - we'll miss you.

Mandy

Dirty Harry you will be missed.Every loves you..RIP I hope you found POP-POP and are with him.I love you..and to all the ones I have lost.

Stacey Kawas

Today, Disney entered heaven. Now free of any pain. She enriched our lives and I am blessed of her presence in my/the lives she touched in oh so many ways. I hope that I become, continue to be the person whom she thinks I am.
Though my/our hearts are sad. As the bible says: I am with you always.
And for that, I am truely blessed in memories and photos.

Kevin

Thank you for all the joy and unconditional love. You are missed every day.

Bridget Minor

To my best friend--I miss you-the trips for the paper in my truck,the runs on the beach, and our walks together. Rest in peace my DISNEY.

Robert S

We will miss you terribly, my angel puppy.
Thank you so much for all that you gave to our family.
We were so lucky to have the chance to get to know you and share in all that you had to offer.
We will always remember your food dances, laughing smile, beautiful singing. I will never forget tucking you in every night with your blankie that you loved so much and sharing your favorite pizza with you.
You touched our lives and hearts so much.
Never has anyone stolen my heart in the way that you did.
Good job, little buddy.
You will always be my angel.
I can't wait to see you again!

Jill

Ditto,

You were a part of our lives for almost 16 years and you are going to missed terribly by all of us.

We Love You and Rest In Peace

Maureen Humprhey

Diva... Thank you for being a part of our lives.
You were truly the best cat and family member anyone could have.
We will miss you yelling at us for food, giving us mushy and just being the Diva that you were.
We love you very much.
RIP

Cari Lira

Diva was such a sweet dog - always curious and friendly.
She always wanted to be with "her" people.
We miss you!

Mary Pat Jones

Im so sorry that you had to experience so much pain baby.
I think about you being gone and I cant breathe.
I am so sorry.
You are a good girl, and I love you very much!

Stefanie

Miss Divot was a beautiful silky grey tiger with green eyes.
A special cat who always had it her way.
She was not very 'nice' to friends but a loving friend to me and I miss her tremendously.
I miss her putting me to bed every night in a attempt to get 'scratches' and I miss playing hide and seek with her.
I know she's on the other side of the bridge now with Tyler and that I will see them both again.

Kay

My dearest little Divy, you will be missed my love. The catpack will miss you also. I notice R.C. is missing you, he stays in your room. "Divy Divy so so sweet", I hope you've found Irish and if not look for him. Be well and happy Divot my love. I'll look for you when I get to the bridge, Divy. Love always good little girl. Peace Divot!

Russ and Lynne

My little girl, always smiling, my walking partner, my riding companion, that joyous little face in the window when i get home, with loving memory....

Wes Ware

My dear Dixie,
Oh how I miss your sweet face. I miss the way you used to snuggle on me in the morning. I love you very much.Biscuit misses you also. Every time it rains I think of you so much. But I know that you are no longer afraid of the rain or thunder. I know that you now sleep in God's arms. I love you Dix and will see you soon.

Your Mommy

You have loved us unconditionally and made our lives richer and we will miss you so much. However you have been suffering and we love you enough to let you go and not hurt anymore. We will always carry you in our hearts. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your life.

Janet

My sweet Dixie.I think of you every day. I see your sweet face looking thru the back door. I hear your bark. I feel you laying next to me.That day I had to put you to sleep was the saddest day of my life. But I knew it was the best thing for you.I could not bare to have you suffer.And I know that when you left my loving arms that it was Gods arms that received you. Now you are with him and you are in no more pain. You are running around in a big field. There are no more thunder storms and rain to be afraid of. Your fears are all gone. Now you have the love of God and all the other pets that have passed away. You will always be in my heart. You were my best friend. ALways there to comfort me. I still think of all the hide and seek games we played in our back yard. I miss you so very much. But I know that we will get to be together one day. But for now be happy and wait for me.
Love your MOM. PS Biscuit misses you also. She still goes outside looking for you. When I take her for a walk she still looks at your leash. When I cry she comes to comfort me. She loves you too.The both of us will see you soon. Love Mom and Biscuit

My dear sweat baby.
I miss you so much, I miss the times you would hit my hands if I was not playing tug a war with you and the way you loved to chase the water hose when it was spraying.
Me and daddy miss you so much and hope you are happy and feeling much better.
I hope you and Duke are playing nice with the other dogs and puppys in heaven.
I am so sorry you had to leave us so soon.
We love you and miss you.

Mommy and Daddy
p.s. Nellie misses her sister sleeping with her she looks for you every day.

Dixie, Our precious angel, we love you so much baby girl and miss you nearly as much.
Mommy has been so lost without you, nothing is the same without you.
You were the BEST companion and friend anyone could have ever asked for!
There will NEVER be another YOU!!!
Someday we will both be happy again.
Love you baby, Mommy - XOXOXO

The loss of our beloved and sweet cat,Dixie,that we had for nine years became suddenly sick and we had to make to awful decision to put her out of her suffering. It was the most agonizing decision that we ever had to do. We decided to stay with her while the vet put her to sleep and to see those beautiful blue eyes for the last time was so heartrenching!! We will always remember her and her loving ways! Our "Dix-Dix" will live on forever in our hearts!!!

Dixie was a loving, caring freespirited dog. She was in a horrible accident and had to be put down. I found her when she was just a abandonded puppy she was already half dead. It makes me glad to think I was able to give here a good life even though it was very short. I am so sorry Dixie you had a horrible accident and I miss you terribly. I love you very much and I will never forget you.

Christine

You brought joy and smiles everyday.
We will miss you more then anyone will ever know. We love you.
You were a once in a life time dog.

Love Your Mom Ashli and your Grandma Tracy

Mary & Chuck

Dixie, my baby. You were the best friend I ever had. I didn't think I could love anyone as much as I loved you. I miss you so much. My bed seems cold and empty without your tiny body snuggled up against mine; the hallways of home seem empty and quiet without your little bark. Even with your terrible fish breath, I knew that a kiss from you could make the sun shine on even the cloudiest of days.

I miss you, my little Teddy dog. I think about you every day, pray that you will visit me in my dreams at night, wish you were here with me.

Please wait for me, my tiny angel. The time goes by so slowly, I know, but we will be together again soon. When I make it to the Rainbow Bridge, I know I will see your wagging tail and soulful eyes, and once you're in my arms we'll never be parted again. I love you.

Amy

To my "Little Goo" -
Dixie, I will miss you so much!

I am sad, however, I know you lived a very long and happy life, you did not suffer and you did not leave this life alone.
You were the best little mini-weiner dog ever!
You were so smart - learning new tricks even up to the last months of your life.

This world will never know another weiner such as you, my Little Goo.
I love you.

Vicky

You were the onery-est dog I have ever met. You taught me about the importance of attitude and the joys of everyday living. You were a great friend and I will miss you dearly.

Erin Bradford

my darling beloved dixie. it was twelve years ago when you entered my life, you were a lovely ginger stray, who taught me how to love. you were the first cat i ever loved and i thank you. you filled our lives with joy and sweetness. you love was unconditional. i know you missed trevor so much when he left home to get married, but i did my best to fill in the emptiness, i took care of you when you became frail,but dix, i just couldnt let you suffer, i respected you too much, so i took the hard decision of relieving you and sending you to a better life. i know you understand.i stayed with you till the very end smothering you with kisses. you felt nothing i know. heavenly father will take care of you and so will jamila, candy, barney and panda.... until that day when i will join you dixie... farewell.... mummy Di xxxx

I miss you, Dixie. You were such a sweet, smart girl and a wonderful buddy to Jason. You'll always have a special place in my heart. Happy trails, big girl.

Carole Lantz

We adopted Dixie Bell from a shelter 3 years ago. She was an older dog with a heart problem. She was so smart and loving; she was my wife's companion and friend while I was away doing my military duty. She touched our hearts and soul. Her heart gave up yesterday morning while in my wife's arms. Words can't really describe our loss, but we find comfort knowing she will be waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.

Ben & Irma Mitchell

miss dixie-belle - you were loved and gave love to everyone who was fortunate to meet you.
your father, robert, is with you now, along with ruffian, goner, gambol, jake and temor.... jackson and I love, you and know one day we'll be with you again - my beautiful little girl
you'll be missed and loved always

my dixie-belle -I love you

Barbara-Ann Stein

Dixie Belle was a surprise "gift" to us.
A girl at the Animal Pound emailed me and said this puppy only had a couple of days til she would be put down.
We had just lost our Dexter a week before=July 16, 2008....but when I looked at her picture, I sent my DH to get her within the minute.

Today, she died.... I don't know why, but she did. And though we only shared 4 months with this wonderful puppy they were full of smiles and laughter and fun.
And we miss her so...

Pat, Bruce, Dianne, Brian & Magnolia, Taco and Geoffrey the Cat

Not a day goes by that I don't miss you!
You were my first "daughter" and I miss seeing you come to Mama.
I know you are waiting for all of us at the Bridge.
Daddy, Rat & Steven miss you lots too! Love you my baby girl!

Anita Martin

Thank you, my most precious friend, for always being there for me and loving me unconditionally. My life will never be the same without you, but what a blessing you have been.
I shall cherish the beautiful memories of you and not be whole til we meet again.

May you be pain-free and happy wherever you may be and know that I am missing you every minute.
I'll love you forever, my wonderful Dixie!

Susan Gibson

I miss you so very much my precious little angel, you brought me so much love. I don't know what to do without you. It has been 29 hours and 17 minutes since you left for the Rainbow Bridge. I will never forget you. I LOVE YOU.

All my love,
Mommy

Dixie Lee - our little girl, a Class Act.
We love you and you are with us always.

Love, Mummy and Chuck

Dixie was neglected by her owner when she was a pup.
As she got older, she became aggressive towards people and other dogs.
It was not her fault, it was her owner's fault.

I'm sorry Dixie for not giving you the time and attention you so desperately needed and wanted when you were a puppy.
I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me.
I'll never forget our Tuesdays at Misty Pines and how great you were.
I am so proud at how much progress you made!
Thanks for keeping us all safe and always being so happy to see me.

Ron Slavonic

What a wonderful 3 1/2 years we had together in paradise - we were so lucky to have you in our lives and we will miss you so much.

Dobie was my best friend and constant companion for 11 years.
He passed away unexpectedly.
He was always ready and there for a cuddle, play or a nudge of love.
Our kitty cries for him.
His family cries for him and sends our love to him.
He was a friend with a loving heart.
He is sorely missed.

Cindy Bush

Dobie, Thank you for being a loving and faithful friend. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Jerry and I miss you and would give the world to be able to walk with you in the park again.

Linda & Jerry Parks

Dobie Beeber Valenze went peacefully to his place in the sun late this afternoon, Wednesday, March 26, 2008.
The sky was a beautiful clear blue with high white clouds rolling across from the West, and there was a soft breeze that whispered of spring, hope and eternity as he left this world.
After several months of courageously and quietly fighting an insidious enemy that eventually conquered his little body, his invincible spirit lives on in my heart forever.
My beautiful little boy was a precious, loving friend and an enormous comfort through the pain and triumphs of the past 10 years, with his sweet face and loving demeanor.
He leaves an indescribable emptiness, and a huge lovely light for having been here.
He will be with me always until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. Dobie, I miss you and will love you forever, my sweet Beeber Boy.

Ginny

My beloved Dobie. I am so sad without you.
I hope you realize how much I love you and how much happiness you brought into my life.
You were my little angel on earth.
I hope you understand that I could not bear for you to be in pain and as hard as a decision as I had to make, I can deal with you being in heaven rather than enduring trauma and pain in whatever time you had left to live.
My hope is you understand the decision that I made was out of love for you.
It would have been very selfish of me to try to keep you alive in the condition you were in.

I know I will receive your wonderful kisses and play with you again someday when the Lord decides it is time for me to join you in heaven.
You now have a healthy new life and I know you are having a wonderful life with our Lord and Savior.

I Love You So Very Much,

Your Mother - Leah

Doby has been a great dog.
He is no longer suffering.
We love you, Doby dog....You are an angel.
We miss you and love you.

Donna and Zachary

I got Doc as a 10 week old puppy. He was a shepard/pit bull mix.
I saved him from the city streets and a life of unspeakable pain. He came home to a 1 year old boy and 3 year old girl and my wife running sideways up the sidewalk. Doc and the kids grew up together. We have since added another dog and 2 cats to the family. He lovingly acceptable all as part of HIS family. He was "pup", "fuzz face" and "the good boy". After 12 years he still looked and acted like a puppy. He was the same size since he was 6 months old. I work in law enforcement and frequently get called out on nights and evenings, I felt comfort knowing he was home protecting the family. I also felt comfort knowing he was keeping my side of the bed warm. He loved to lean on people, knew when you were sad, when you needed to play and just when you needed him to be silent next to you. Was he a perfect dog, at times I thought not, like when he barked at anything and everything that came by the house. The hosue is too quiet now. He loved to steal food, and knock over the trash can, but was always gentle when taking a treat from you. He loved to sleep on our bed, my chair and anywhere he was not supposed to. But it was his reward for keeping our family safe and laughing. he loved to chase squirrels, but never caught any(not sure what he would do if he did). About 10 days ago he started to get very depressed, then 5 days ago he stopped eating and 2 days ago he started to urinate in the house. He NEVER had an accident before. He lost all his spark and seemed depressed. We pulled the kids (now a freshman and a 7th grader)out of school, before we took him to the vet. We told them he might not come home. They all spent some time with him and said their good byes. The vet said his heart was having problems and wanted to run tests, but could not make any promises. DOC understood and knew it was time to go. He had watched the kids grow up, kept us happy and safe and left us more memories that I can ever believe.

and then he was gone. It was quick and peaceful, just like I wanted. He lived a great life, was a great friend and a part of our family that will always be remembered.

DOC I love you and miss you.

Kananen

Doc, we miss you with all of our hearts, I miss you so much, Dad.

Doc was orphaned by a feral cat, at the age of 3 weeks, under my mother's oil tank. He was given life again when I pulled him out by his little yellow head through a hole barely big enough to get my hand in. He was my new baby and little brother to our 3-year old son. They grew up together, but Doc remained my baby. It seemed he was always a baby so it came as an unexpected shock when he got "old" at the young age of 16 and suddenly quit eating and died in my arms at the vet's office. His vet confirmed after he was gone that he had stomach cancer and would have suffered terribly if we hadn't let him go. We loved him too much to let him hurt. I know in my mind that what we did was best for him, but my heart is broken. It has been 2 months since he left us, but the pain won't go away. I guess it never will.

Darlene Wood

Doc you were our best friend for so many years, you were a faithful friend and companion, protector of all in the family right down to the rabbit and ducks you protetected them all through the years, though age took its toll in your body in never did take your heart or spirit.
Rest peacfully my friend until we meet again.
You were a one in a million there will never be another like you.

Michelle Krikie

Our baby boy taken away too soon, but left so many loving memories.
You will be missed and forever in our hearts.

Dawn and Stephen Simpson

In Memory of Our Little Boy, My Baby, Our Doc.
Your life was much too short.
So many things you did not get to do with us. We'll all miss you so very, very much. Your wonderful personality. The way you pounced on grasshoppers and chased the butterflys. Your barking at the squirrels and chasing them in the yard with you big brothers and when you wanted something you'd tap us with your paw. The way you chewed pieces of apple with peanut butter on them and the expressions on your little face. I am so sorry for the pain that you went through before you died, but know this, we love you and will always love you more than you will ever know and more than we can ever imagine. Thank you for being in our lives. xxxooo, m & d

DOC was my "granddog", and so precious and dear to me. His sudden and unexpected passing has left great pain and grief, but, I know he is in a better place, and he knew I loved him with all my heart.
May you rest in peace, my sweet boy, until that time comes when we cross that beautiful bridge together.
Forever loved, Never forgotten.

Janice Hutto

I got my first horse when I was 14 for my birthday. He was the greast thing that has ever happend me. When I had really bad days at work or school he would be there to comfort me and make me happy again. I remember one time we went riding on a trail and he spooked at something, and I fell off, he did not run away like someother horses would have, he came back to make sure that I was ok. The day that I had to make a choice to put him down was 11 days after my 18th birthday. He had tumors rapped around one of his intestines. The vet was saying that if we did do surguy that he would have a 45% change of living throug it. So choise do put him down so that he would not be in pain anymore. I know that I will see him again when it is my time to go. Even though it has been a while since he died, I still miss him every day.

Allison Cawthra

What a joy to have Doc in our lives...10 years simply was not enough time to love the sweetest, most loyal little boy.
We miss him more than ever thought possible.
He will be in our hearts forever.

Judith Ellen

Doctor Tommy Musitink was the best friend and companion for us.
He demanded little but gave all his devotion and love to us.

From puppy hood he first lived up to his name of Musitink and then as the Doctor Tommy in his adult life, giving comfort and warmth to our whole family.

He enjoyed his trips and outings with us as much as we enjoyed his company.
His favorite food was chicken and his favorite snack was liver and Greenies.
But he also enjoyed his time as the gourmet dog, eating the finest cuts of meat and the best of veggies.

He was admired by all who saw him.
Strangers always wanted to pet him.
Children came running to him just to feel his fur.
Tourists stopped to take pictures of him with them, he was a celebrity. He enjoyed all the attention.

Now his is across the Rainbow Bridge, playing and enjoying himself.
He will one day be with us again and will come running back to us from that Rainbow Bridge.

Shirley Chiu and Jin Hay

Doddles was so special and we miss her.She was blind and couldn't hear, but she could still show her love and knew when we came home from work.
Meeting us at the door for a hug and kiss. Their will never be another like her.
Rest Doddle Poo.

Jerry & Pat

Dodger came into our lives on a rainy winter night.
He wasn't too sure about us.
But, he immediately took a shine to our dog, Winnie.
He was small, but fiercely protective of our little family.
He was cute too.
Every morning, he did an adorable little dance for breakfast.
One day, in 1999, he got sick.
We were all very scared that we were going to lose him.
But, with the help of some wonderful veterinarians at UC Davis, he recovered and lived with us for a long time.
We will always feel lucky that he took a chance on us.
Goodbye dear friend, I hope we'll see you again some day.

Lisbeth, Scott, Teddy and Abby Smith

You were loved and will be missed dearly. We will never forget you.

Teresa Mansell

She was a nice and kind cat. She was very loving. We miss her so much. She liked to sit in sunny spots and sleeping in her basket.

Joshua, Hana, Lise and Larry Stepnick

Hey Pukie,
Thank You so much for holding on this past day.
You waited so long in what was probably such agonizing pain so you could say goodbye to us.
Thank You so much for letting us see you, touch you and hug you one last time before you went.

We love you so much baby boy and hope you are feeling strong and healthy now.
Watch over us and we will see you again some day.
Say hello to Tess, Jungle and Chautie for us.
We know the gang is all romping around together and having a grand old reunion.

You were the best puppy and friend we ever had and we will miss you with a sorrow you will never know.
Good Bye and Sleep Well.
You are ok now baby...no more scary tick noises at night to frighten you.

Clare Schoenwald

To our wonderful "Dodger Dog."
You were such a good friend and always there to give us kisses.
You comforted us when Oliver past and welcomed you baby sister, Ellie, into the home with open paws.
I'll never forget how you would run, with your legs swinging out to the sided.
Your smile was big and warm, your hugs comforting.
Your in heaven now, with Oliver, Jesse and Manny.
May you all run in the beautiful warm, soft meadows.
You will always be in our hearts.

We Miss you,

Love,

Mom, Dad, Anna, Josh and Ellie

Dodo, you and your brother and sisters were the best gifts we could have had bestowed on us.

Dear Beloved Dolce:

Thank you Dolce for being such a good dog, but more than that, you were our companion, friend, and our child for almost 11 years. We named you Dolce which means sweet in Italian, and oh how fitting that name was for you. Your gentle and loving nature brought us so much joy and happiness. We miss you and love you so much baby girl, and we will always cherish the memories we have of you, and how much you enriched our lives. We will never forget you, and you will live in our hearts forever.

And now, as you cross over the Rainbow Bridge, we waive goodbye, just as you always waived your paw to us to say hello.

Love always, "daddy and mommy"

My dog was more than just my best friend, he was my baby, my companion and my partner in crime.
He filled my life and my heart with so much joy and happiness.
I pray his last moments weren't too horrible.
I ask that all those who are grieving or who have grieved a pet to please pray for my dog...pray that we'll one day be reunited.

Nancy

My baby boy gone too soon, I tried everything I could to help you bugs, you have no idea how desperatly I miss you, and will always have you in my thoughts..

Poppy Benson

Nicknames:
“MIGHTY FANG”, “MR. D”, “D-MAN”, “3 QUARTERS, 2 DIMES AND A NICKEL”, “DOLLAR BILL”.

You were just a pup when you had surgery on your right knee.
At night, we had to kennel you.
You whimpered until I placed the kennel next to the bed and put my hand on it.

If we took you out in the car, you’d get so excited when we got back to the neighborhood on our way home.

When we walked, you would pull me on your leash and I would tell the neighbors:
“I’m training him for the Iditarod”.

You loved to be brushed.
It was a game for us.
You always got a treat afterwards.

After I bathed and towel-dried you, as soon as I put you down you would run frantically around the house as if you were air-drying yourself.
Then, you wanted to go outside.

Every time I put your collar on you would start to jump around and jump on me to give me kisses.

You were happiest when you were outside hanging out with me.
It made no difference what I was doing or what the weather was like.
You loved to lie on your back in the sun.
You would poke your nose under the gate to look out at the people walking by in the street or if you heard us drive or walk up the driveway.

If Mom and I would leave the house, when we got home you would be waiting at the back door, looking out the window with your tale wagging.

You were a great guard dog.
You’d bark at night if you heard something.
You barked when the door bell rang.
Some times you would just let out a little growl.

You loved to chase squirrels and birds and didn’t like big dogs.
You didn’t like the vacuum cleaner, moving bikes or skateboards.
You’d bark like crazy.
You would howl at sirens if they were near.

Funny stuff you did:
“Nose nudge”, “booty scoot”, “leg drag”, “s... dance” (covering up your messes was conducted in a dance form and you would kick earth two feet away, in all directions).
You chased the laser pointer beam around the house.

After meals, I would say: “I’m going to brush my teeth now”.
This, you knew meant we would soon be taking a walk.
You would follow me into the bathroom and wait until I was done and we would go.

You slept on my pillow, next to my head at night.

As weak as you were, you gave me many kisses on my face the day we had to put you down.
You knew I was there for you as always.
We said good bye to each other.

See you at the bridge Dollar.
Until then, you’re always with me and I love you.

DAD

MY sweet baby is now gone and my heart aches for her..So sad she lived a short time but I will never forget her ever

Love, Schmommy

In loving memory of our sweet Dolly.
Her mommy brought her to us and left her with us to care for her.
She climbed our screen door saying please take me in.
She gave us unconditional love and was always cuddly with love in her eyes for us.
We miss her and when we go into a room we expect her to be there but she is not. Her brother and sisters- Vicki, Baby and White Kitty miss her. She never cried when she was ill.
We want to let her know we love her and will see her some day again.
Love, Mommy and Daddy

She was only with us for 10 days and fought bravely for 4 of those.
A dear little newborn who never even had the chance to open her eyes and see the world.

God speed little one - we loved you dearly and miss you so much.
I tried so hard to save you, but in the end it wasn't enough - I'm so sorry poppet.
I'll miss your sweet weight nestled next to my heart and your softness under my fingertips.

With all our love from your doggy and human mums and dads, big brother Biggles, Charlotte, Hattie and Jake - be safe my darling, wherever you are.

Marie Briscombe

Dolly, you came to me as a Christmas gift the year your father and I were married....but you were so much more.

That cold December afternoon I saw you there, in the shelter's frozen cage, you were facing the wall, batttered, beaten and oh so terrified, thin and so sickly.
I knew we needed each other, and you proved me right.
I gave you a life that nobody else would have.....and you gave me love that no one ever has.

You got so sick that we spent the last year of your life trying to save it, when we should've been celebrating it, all the while you put up a brave face and went thru every treatment like a champ.....never complaining.
Then, just after my birthday you go so sick that you couldn't get up, I took you to "Aunt Katie" who cared for you for hours.....but it just wasn't enough.
Your poor, small body had been thru so much.....you'd been through enough and didn't know how to tell me.
You went to sleep all on your own.....and you never woke up.
Your poor body had all it could stand.
Daddy and I sat there with your body for the longest time.
I traced each little curl and wave of your coat, I tried to memorize the velvet texture of your ears.....and you sweet smell.

I swear there are some days that I can hear you!
You're here, I'd swear you are here!
I actually smelled you the other day!
I think that was the one thing that terrified me most was forgetting your smell.....I almost had.....and I think you knew that too because I was having such a bad day that you came to me.

Oh sweet baby girl, sweet, sweet baby girl, you gave me 3 years, and now you've been gone almost 8 and it's still not fair!
I love your sister and brothers, but they aren't you.....no one will ever be you.

WHY?!?!???
WHY did you have to leave me and hurt me so badly?
I still grieve so much that I can't stand it!
Most days I'm OK, but there comes the days that something special, fun, is going on here and I think how you should be here sharing it with your family.....and you're not!
I pray that you'll send me a sign.....you'll send me someone exactly like you that I can love just like I loved you, but then I realize that it wouldn't be fair to you, to me, or to your siblings.
I'm thankful that you do send me a butterfly or a penny when things get REALLY bad, I need to know you're watching.
I need you here more.....but I'm getting better with the idea that you're watching.

My sweet Angel, I love you more than life itself and I know I'll see you again someday, I think that makes things a little better.
Please take care of Susie, Abby and Tatum, welcome Bella with open arms because she was like one of my own, and MaryVegas will be with you soon so help her to understand what's happened to her.
I love you sweet Angel-Baby, take care, be safe, and know we'll be together again.
Mommy's never stopped loving you, and she never will.

(P.S.
Promise me when we are together again, you'll never break my heart like this a second time, I couldn't take it.)

To our sweet baby Dolly.
Nicknames:
Dolly Lucy, Susie, Judy, Louie, Luigi, Luce, Pooch, Pumpkin, Pretty, Puppy, Lil Monkey, Princess:

Dear Dolly:

Mommy and Daddy miss you so much baby.
You were with us for almost 12 years and we miss you every day.
You helped Mommy when she had bad days at work, and Daddy when he was not feeling so good from his treatments.
Your little kisses really made our days so filled with love.

Our little girl loved walks in the park, riding in the car (on Mommys lap looking out the window with the wind blowing in her hair!), riding in her tram when she became a senior citizen (with really long walks on Sunday mornings),she loved her "carries" baby carots the BEST which were kept in her spot in the fridge, fresh chicken "Chicky" from Costco, and milk bonz. She loved looking pretty after her trip to the groomers ever 5 weeks, she was a pretty girl and she knew it!

We know you are on the real Rainbow "Bridge" and we will see you someday soon.

Love Mommy and Daddy (Kathryn and Chuck)

Hugs and Kisses to baby Dolly.

Loving you forever and always.

He was our office mascot and Dom passed away today.

Domi is the classic example of strength, confidence, love and wisdom. There will never be another like her.

Candy Wilson

It was you who came first out of the woods where I found you 8 years ago.
From that day on, you accompanied me across the country and we could never be apart.
You protected me.
You were my ears and my heart.
A beautiful, regal hunter and my dearest friend.
Now that I am without you, I am only lost. So when I get to the bridge, I will look for you first and when we meet again I promise to follow your bark into forever.

The Rosenberg Family

If you saw Domino you would think she was just another black and white cat.
She was diagnosed with cancer almost 3 years ago, and the vet said she had a few months to live.
As time passed, I would ask the vet what was keeping her alive, and the vet said she was not ready to leave me yet.
Today was the day she finally let me know that she couldn't go on any longer and would wait for me at The Rainbow Bridge.
This is another hole in my heart as I have lost so many animals before her.
I miss them all every day.
Thank you, Domino, for your unconditional love.
I hope I showed you every day what a wonderful friend you were to me.

Colette Lover

My angel, Domino, was laid to rest in her home on September 25th. She battled cancer for over two years, still happy and kicking it. She was a special cat, who meant so much to my mother and I. She had a life time of stories to tell the world. She and I had a special bond, that will never be forgotten. Another hole has been put in my heart, that will only be healed once I come get her at the Bridge. I have seven more cats, and lost Domino's sister a few years back, so when I reach that Bridge, I'll be picking up all of my angels. I love you Domino, and I'll see you soon.

Jessica Lover

Domino was our joy and love for almost 19 years.
We have a new baby but Domino will never be forgot and sometimes we still miss him still.

Mary Kara

Thank you for giving me a mirror unto myself, you showed me how to overcome fears and become love instead. I will miss you everyday. Thank you for coming into my life you were magnificient!

Christina Lee Royce

We miss you very much and will always love you.
Life isn't the same without you in it.
Love you forever buddy!!

Mom and Jimmy

In memory of a heroic and miraculous kitty who beat the odds and lived a long, beautiful life. We love you, sweet boy.
MEOW!

Keith McCombie

I miss you, Domino!

Angela

It's been almost 7 years since you left us but,
the changes to our lives are forever.
Take care of Gunnar.
Love Mom & Dusty

We wanted to share with you, the loss of a very dear family member, Domino Grace.
We had her unconditional and devoted love for 11 1/2 years.

Domino had an enlarged heart, pushing against her air passage, plus a very large tumor attached to her bladder.
The last several months she developed coughing/choking spells that seemed to be worse at night time.

We had her x-rayed December 26 and a sonogram done the following day that revealed the above conditions.
We knew she would only get worse, so we made the decision to put her to sleep on January 5, 2008.
We were both with her and shared her last moments which were very peaceful and calm.

We brought her home. placed her in a pet casket and laid her to rest close to Ebony Grace, who will show her the way until we all meet on the other side.

We miss her something fierce, but know she is now free of pain and in a better place.

Jo & Ron

My boy Domino, was a wonderful Himalayan Siamese and one of my best friends in the world! He came into my life and into my family when he was four years old. For 15 years he was with me, through all the good times and all the bad. With Dom-Dom around, I was never alone. It was a true comfort knowing, that I could always look around me and close by, I would always find a pair of beautiful blue eyes staring back. He was loaded with personality, always curiously playful, spoiled rotten and full of love! Sadly, my buddy was diagnosed with bone cancer the last week of June 2008 and just a few short months later, he passed away. I miss him dearly and I still look around, for those big blue eyes of his. I suppose a part of me will always search for him. Losing him is hard, but I wouldn't trade a moment of the time I had with my Domino. All the wonderful memories and love he left me, I will treasure and cherish forever. In memory, he will be with me always. So, to my baby who fought so hard, I love you bud-bud!

Leslie

All my love until I see you again my beloved, Don Patrick. My precious kitty.

Michelle McElligott

MISS YOU DONALD AND NOW YOU ARE WITH GRANDPA PLAYING AND NO PAIN ANYMORE.

Miller

To Donner at the Bridge,
From the day we brought you home until the morning you left us we feel blessed. You brought so much happiness into our lives with your glorious golden temperment.
You never met a person or dog who didn't like you.
You were and always will be a true ambassador to the breed.
We will always love you Donner - our big beautiful golden boy.

Love,
Linda, Ted, Twinkie and Phoebe

God, Please bless and welcome, Donovan.
He is a beautiful and loving friend.
And watch over his buddies on earth - Ruth, Tisch, Pablo, and the other furry critters.
Thank you

Kay For Ruth and Tisch

It is with a heavy heart that I have to let all of you know that Donovan, our cat, passed away yesterday. Most of you know her by this point -
have met her somewhere a long the way - she was with us for 20 years. It was incredibly hard to let her go but ultimately it was what was best for her. She went blind last week and things just got progressively worse. Her body was shutting down.

Donovan, or D as many call her, was an unusual cat. Even non-cat people wanted to take her home. She was the social butterfly - she loved parties as much as I do! She would always make her rounds. In the mornings, if
Kyle wouldn't get up, I would tell her to go to Kyle's room and get him up. No lie, she would trot in to his room, get on his bed and get right in his face to meow and get him up! It always worked! She weighed about 8 pounds but she ruled the roost here - every morning she would cry for her cat milk and as I was letting out our dogs, Charlotte and Murphy, Char would stop by her bowl and D would get up on her hind legs and smack the crap out of Charlotte. Every day.. and Char weighs 50 pounds!! Too funny.

I found Donovan in a puddle one rainy night outside of my friend Jackie's place. I borrowed a towel, wrapped her up and drove home with her in my lap. I said I was only keeping her for the night! hahaha. Ironically, her beginning was exactly how it ended. I had her wrapped in a towel and drove to the vet with her in my lap.

Donovan was a favorite of mine. I love all of my animals but she was the special one. The one who would cuddle with you through an entire movie, let all of the little kids play with her, throw a cat football. She went through a lot of things with me. Once, when I was back in Jersey, Mike called to tell me how emotional D was and she wouldn't eat. I told him to give her tuna fish. He called me back and said that she wouldn't eat that either. I asked a question that I have never lived down - "well - did you put mayo in it?".
She liked things the way she liked them and she wouldn't settle. She was a princess.

I know a lot of you always say you want to come back as one of my cats. I can only hope that Donovan knows how much she was loved by me and by Kyle. She essentially became Kyle's cat
- she stayed by him the entire time he was home. If he would spend the night over a friends she would wake me in the middle of the night moaning - I would get up and follow her and she would lead me to his room - she was looking for him.

Thanks for listening to some of
these stories. This is a very big loss for me. She will be missed immensely.

Love, Tracy.

Donte was so loving and always wanting to be cuddled.
When he looked at you, his eyes said it all.
He was always wanting to rough house with his litter mates.
Even his Dam/Sire know that he is gone.
Sassy (his Mother) keeps looking for him.

Sue Jorgenson

DOOBIE...I THINK ABOUT YOU DAY AND NIGHT AND WISH SO BAD THAT YOU WERE STILL HERE WITH ME EVEN THOUGH YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART FOREVER.YOU WERE THE MOST SWEETEST AND LOVING DOG THAT I COULD HAVE EVER HOPED FOR.I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND PRAY FOR THE DAY WHEN WE WILL BE REUNITED.LOVE YOU ALWAYS,MOM.

Doobie, Our beloved best friend, with ears as soft as velvet, a coat as shiney as the sun, and the all strength and bravery of a thousand lions.
You are in our hearts forever, and while we cannot imagine life without you we are comforted in knowing that our love is always with you and
your love with us.
You are in the days breeze, in the water we drink, in everydays sunlight and each star at night.

So in the meantime, do all the things you loved so much here with us, play all the fetch you want, get those hot air balloons, run, swim and play.
You will always be our buddy, your time on earth will always be cherished.
You were more than we could have ever asked for.
Thank you for choosing us to be your mom and dad.
We love you forever Woobie!!!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOX

Deron and Kim Degraw

My tears are flowing as I type this -- Doodlebug died this morning after having Cushing's disease for a year. Because of his advanced age, his vet and I opted not to treat him. He was comfortable and happy until he took his last breath this morning. This little dog came to me 12 years ago, and rarely left my side in all the time I've had him. I won't know how to walk around my house without looking for him at my feet. Every time I look down I'll miss him. He was a champion bed-warmer, and I'll miss him curled up behind my knees at night. He could catch a treat in mid-air, and he was always thankful for that treat. Although small, Doodlebug's heart was huge, and the love in it for me will always be with me. I'll be lighting a candle for him tonight.

Vicki Blizzard

I could write a book about how much I loved this dog.
He's only been gone a few hours and I already miss him enough for a lifetime.
The world is a whole lot darker, colder and less fun than it was just yesterday.
I love you Doodles, and I always will.
You have my whole heart.
Thank you for everything.
I love you.

David Rexford

Doodles,
You lived 20 years and I loved you the most. I hope we will be together again along with all the others who have gone before you.
I'm having a really hard time and miss you so much.
You were the best.
I'm so sad and can't stop crying.
I love you.

Jerry Ann Chambers

We love you, Doody.
You are missed and thought of everyday.

Today I send my Angel to Rainbow Bridge.
He forever holds the key to my heart.
I will miss him tremendously, but I am grateful that I can send him on his way where there will be no more sickness. I believe in my heart that my angel can now look down on me instead of up at me.
I Love You Doogie.
Go on your way and sit with our loving creator. We will be together again.

Dawn Wagner

My special little survivor. You made it 2 1/2 years when they said you'd die in 3 months.
I will always miss you and love you till we meet
again.
Love mom.

Dookie,
Momma is very sorry for what happended to you. I guess the surgery to try and remove the cancer was to much for you. You had been thru so much already. I hope you knew that I loved you and was only trying to do what was best for my boo-boo. I will miss you so very much and will carry you in my heart for ever. You made my life complete and I was so blessed to have shared 10 years with you. Please know that I will never forget you. Love Mommy

Our dog Duke was the best dog to us.
He will be missed so much.
We LOVE you big guy.

Charlie & Sylvia Miledi

Dookie you were our faithful feline friend for 15 years....you brought so much love and happiness...it broke our hearts when we had to let you go on Wednesday...that was the hardest thing we had to do....but we knew in our hearts that you werent happy anymore, that you were ready for heaven, but we werent ready to let you go, but God gave us the strength to let you go with dignity...you will always have a special place in our hearts and you will be remembered for always, our HANDSOME BOY, OUR DOOKSTER...

WE LOVE YOU!!!!

In memory of our beloved boy Dooley who passed peacefully today, November 13, 2008.

We are deeply saddened but take consolation in knowing what a wonderful and happy life he had with us.

God Bless you dear boy!

Also in Memory of our beloved Jake (Norwich) who was born on December 16/1991 and passed away November 14,2003.

I love you ALWAYS!
mom and Danny and Katie

To My Dooley:
Never to be erased from my memory- to cherish and love in my heart forever. For the joy and love, the loyalty and protectiveness and for all the unconditional love you gave. From you playful days, to the days you just endured to show how much you cared by hanging on. Our love goes with you, where ever you are! Until we meet you at the Rainbow Bridge- mommy loves you Doo......... FOREVER!
mom, Danny and Katie

We love you and miss you!
You brightened all our days.

Ellie Shuman

My Dearest Little Kelsey Bronwin - so loving and so independent and so full of happiness.
I did not want to say good-bye to you today at the vet before they gave you the gas, but your frail and withered body told me that it was time.
You had not eaten for five days although you were still alert and most affectionate to me when I wept.
I did not say good-bye my Rosa Mystica I will only say "See you soon."
Go with Amiga & Bentley while Jimi, MAK & Kolbe hold you forever in their hearts.
We miss you already and it will be lonely without you.
Chanul - Eternal Soul

James C. (Jim) Price

"Mommy" will miss you so much.
Coming home from a long day of work just won't be the same. I believe you won't be suffering and now you're running around doing your funny dance and wagging that wild tail of yours.
I love you and miss you,

"Mommy"

R.I.P, honey. I'm so sorry. I hope you're happy now and that you have plenty of honey treats. <3

Julia Hynes

To Our Little "Dorie" -- You came to us with a less than fortunate past of those that were not worthy of your love and spirit.
It has been a priviledge to have loved and known you for our short time together.
We are saddened that we weren't together longer.
You know we did everything possible to keep you here with us, that you were loved, and went out with a family that adored you.
You were our aDORAble.
Your pawprints will forever be etched in our hearts.
Godspeed little angel--until we meet again.

Sherry DeMoss and Simon Burke

Dorian Greytail wandered onto my property about 15 years ago, already a full-grown and self-sufficient feral cat. He would come and go. Sometimes it would be months before I saw him again. But slowly as he got older he made my yard his permanent home base. I caught him with a humane trap and took him to the vet and had him neutered and got his shots, then set him free again, for he would never agree to be domesticated. I fed him when he was around, and he stayed here more and more. In recent years he began staying under my house, and in the last couple of years finally began allowing me to pet him. Once he realized it was a good thing, he couldn't get enough, and loved being scratched and rubbed. He would butt his head against my knee or hand and rub against me when I would couch down to feed him, but remained shy when I was standing and not holding food, and wouldn't consider coming in the house, although I tried to coax him many times. He loved to lay on my heat pump to sun himself. The backyard was his special domain and he had several favorite sunny spots, and cool spots when it was hot. This morning when I went out to feed him, I found he had passed on to Rainbow Bridge. He seems to have died peacefully, as if he just lay down in the sun and went to sleep. He was in one of his favorite spots and I buried him there, with the help of a friend, as I was crying so hard I couldn't have done it alone. I will deeply miss having this shy gentleman around. He might have been a feral, but he was *my* feral and I loved him.

Kimm Young

Sweet little dorky. RIP

Pat Grosse

Dorsey shared his life and love with me unconditionally. He left me today. My heart is broken. I will always miss him.

Mary G. Tartaglia

Dory, You are our little precious girl whom we love so so much. We know we had to leave you go to heaven but one day we will see you soon and we will be doing everything together again---- mom will be so happy to have you bark and play with her again while I read the newspapers and dad playing with your toys,soccer ball, and golf balls.
Can't wait until your next to our sides---- that day will be filled with just so many hugs and kisses and licks.
We are going to miss you so and cry and feel so sad but I know one day you will be with us---take care our little girl and remember you are always in our heart and close to us.
Love Mom and Dad

R.I.P my precious Dot... my Dottie Pottie... I will always remember "sand diving" in your clean litter box and at the park sandbox, your ruthless sweet tooth and the way you poised yourself so diligently on my shoulder and never fell off :) (well, only a few times :P) You were a sneaky little girl... stealing straws and crinkly wrappers... and anything rubber. I know you hated it when I found your "stash" under the couch :) Bruno and Gwen miss you, I can tell... You will be forever missed, my sweet girl.... until we meet again..

Liz Robinson, Dean Lerouax

We will always remember you our brave darling. Miss you forever and ever xxxx

Jacque Robson

Dots, my beloved best friend and companion.
Always loyal and dedicated until the very end when she looked up at me I saw her "say" to me mommy please help me.
I saw her pain and I took it away from her with dignity.
Even though now I took the pain into my own heart I know it will subside but never die.
You never stopped wagging your tail from the time we brought you home 13 years ago until the minute you went with the angels.
Rest in Peace my sweet Angel.
We'll meet again some day, wait for me.

Iris Diaz

My sweet Dottie,
Where do I begin? You came to me scared and alone but soon became my best friend. I told you everything and you always looked at my with those same loving eyes that seemed to say..."It's OK, I love you, what else is there to worry about." I knew I could always find you curled up on the seat of the Gator waiting on someone to take you for a ride. Even Pops liked for you to ride with him. To this day I don't know how you managed to never get run over as you crossed the road on your daily visits around the neighborhood to see what the other dogs were having for supper. As heartbreaking and difficult as it was, I knew it was the best thing for you when we said our last good byes...even then you had a smile on your face.
I love you Chunky Butts and know we will one day see each other again.

Sarah

Dottie, loving and sweet to the very end.
Your stoic nature in the face of losing your sight, hearing and great discomfort just to get up out of bed is a lesson to us all.
We will miss you terribly and hope that you found Gram on your journey.

Nancy Gordon

Rest in Peace. A loyal and faithful companion. We will miss you.
see you at the Rainbow bridge.

Sally Campbell

Dotty was a wonderful, playful, loving greyhound.
She loved us unconditionally and asked for nothing in return.
She left us very suddenly, before her time, and we miss her very much.
She will always live in our hearts.

Janet & Gary Lowther

Douce lived with me for 6 years.
She was loving, kind, and gentle.

Dougan gave us five wonderfully, albeit short, years. We will miss him terribly and remember him always.

Elmer and Pat Lanigan

It has been almost 2 months since you passed away and I still expect you to greet me at the door when I return home. I continue to listen for the sounds of your footsteps and your barking voice. While Dad and the boys also miss you, I feel an especially deep loss since you were such a mama's boy. Over the past 13 years you were quite a challenge at times but always loving and fiercely loyal. It was so difficult to see you become ill and lose your spunk. Thank you for passing away peacefully at home in my arms. I think you sensed that I could not deal with making the decision to take you to the Vet for that dreaded last visit.
I love you, Dougie, and miss you. I will never forget you!

Maripat Kwaczala

Dearest Dougie
you came into our lives at a time when we were hurting and stayed with us
we laughed and played and ran on the beach
you always knew when we needed to have someone to pat
thank you for your loyalty and your company, your gentle nature
I miss you and hope you are boucing around happy again.

Linda

Rest in peace my sweetheart<3 We will never forget you. You will live on forever in our hearts, till the end of time.

Ashley

Since Bobby rescued you so many years ago, you have been a part of the majority of our married life.
We love you and respect you and will meet you someday on the other side.
There couldn't have been a better or more loved dog than Dov.

Bobby and Elaine Cowley

Lovey Dovey was an amazing cat. Her name is 'lovey dovey' because she was so lovey all the time. We just shortened it to Dovey. She would always come and lay with me at night, and if i shut the door, she'd sit there scratching at it until i let her in. She was a very skittish cat, and wouldn't always be out as much as our other cat. She would normally be on the windowsill, or up on top of the cabinets in her favorite basket.

I will miss you Dovey.
I love you very much.
Although your life had to end so soon,
I hope you enjoyed sharing it with me.
I gave you the best i could.
We all miss you.
Even your sister Coco, she has been looking all over the house for you :/
It's not the same without you.
I miss the scratching at my door at night,
And getting in trouble for not making you get off the table.
I can't even write this without crying.
Me and mom cry whenever we walk by you windowsill or basket.
We miss you so much.
Coco looks so sad and lonely and confused.
Make sure you let her know what had happened when she meets you at Rainbow Bridge.
And be waiting for me up there when i get up there some day.
I wish you could send me a sign that you're okay.
I spent the whole day randomly crying when you left.
And even yesterday,
And today.
I absolutely hate cancer for taking your life away.
I will see you soon.
I love and miss you Lovey Dovey.
Rest In Peace <3

Downette My Darling Duck

You were the most happy, loving duck I have ever loved.
You were the joy in my lonely life.
I'd do anything if you would just COME BACK TO ME.

I love you more than anything....my little sweetheart

Momma Duck

my name is laura, im 17 years old. i was born and raised with downy. for me loosing her was my greatest loss so far. i feel i have lost a part of me. my new puppy lilly i feel is rencarnated downy. i love her but the love i had for downy was not explainable she helped me through the worst times and too this day i cry every night missing the one who slept in my arms. i would just really love for her to be seen as the dog who changed the world. everyone who knew her and sees her picture smiles and says "wow she was something special" and i loved that dog with a love that will never die.

Laura Steinhardt

You were loved by your family, and everyone who knew you.

You are missed terribly; but we know that you enjoyed a long and happy life, and for that we are joyous.

You run freely now. You have no pain. For that we are smiling.

Aunt Nancy

DOZER WAS SO FULL OF ENERGY, SHE DIDN'T LISTEN SOMETIME'S, THAT'S WHAT CAUSED HER DEATH TODAY, SHE CHASED A SCHOOL BUS AND GOT HIT, AND IT KILLED HER THIS AM. I could have prevented it, but i chose my own need first, while i was in the bathroom, she was dying. I feel so bad, she run's off, i should have brought her in first. I blame myself, she had the most swet and playful personality, all dogs do, but she seemed to understand me, she tried to talk sometimes, im going to miss that. And i will always love her, i have 3 dogs buried and it hurts worse everytime. Please pray for me to except the fact she was hard headed, near the road it was bound to happen, but we aare moving back to the country part, i wish i had stopped her.So she could go with us and still be here.

Rebecca Dudley

Dozer my precious baby. When you were so young and could not walk we nursed you back to health. When you had mange we took you to the vet and nursed you back to health. When you had reactions to all your medicines, we found other ways to make you not hurt. When we found out you were allergic to your food, we got you special food so that you could be healthy. When you got your first tumor, we got you surgery and then nursed you back to health. I thought we would have lots more time together. You were the sweetest natured 140 lb. dog there ever was. You let the girls beat you up and the chihuahuas chase you away. You were always a gentleman. You loved our car rides and I loved watching you try to swim even tho your head was too big. I knew you were not well when you were too tired to join the group, and you began to lose weight, but I didn't want the truth. When we finally went and Dr. Tom showed us the tumors on your x-rays, I knew we could not nurse you back to health. While I knew our time was growing short, I thought we would have weeks. We spent that night and part of the next day trying to make you things that you would eat. I could that breathing was becoming a struggle. I could not make my baby boys last days be a struggle. Not when you had spent your whole life struggling to be healthy because you knew that I needed you. So we went, to let you go. I know that if you had made it another two years I never would have been more prepared to let you go. I miss you more than anything in this world and so does everyone else (especially your mommy Kibbles). At least you can finally enjoy pain free days. I love you Clifford and I even miss your drool!

Claire Arnold

Think of you every minute & miss you so much.
A piece of my heart is with you.
LOVE YOU

Robyn

To our "BIG GUY" we miss you so much, I know you met your brother and sisters that passed shortly before you from that dreaded illness (the BIG C) and you all are now free from pain. I also know that you met you lil furball brother Chili just a short time ago at the bridge when we had to make the decision to set him free from his pain and illness. We think of you both often and speak of you too. We will all be together again some day. Just know how much you were and still are and always will be dearly loved and missed you BIG GOOF BALL. I miss you slamming on the bottom of my bed snapping at me and stealing my slippers (I still have them and always will just for you :o) take care and watch our for Chili that he doesnt get run over by you big guys and gals. Love you so much.

I came to meet Dozer when he was just a puppy.
My brother-in-law gave him to my sister as a gift.
He actually decide on this breed because he really liked my dog Harley, who was also a Rotty (now passed).
But he was the most precious thing. My sister spoiled him so much, the kids were crazy about him.
Last year she found out he was very ill.
He had a heart attack and was on medication for a while.
He started developing this bad condition on his skin,
He got better for a little while, then he took a turn for the worst.
He would not get better.
Dozer took his last breath on Tuesday February 12,2008.
I know my sister and especially my brother-in-law will miss him dearly.
Dozer will always be remembered and loved by the Parrilla and Flores families.

May you have open fields with plenty of micies, squirrels and birdies to chase with no roads to worry about crossing.

Lois

I will miss your sloppy kisses waking me up in the morning, your cold nose next to mine, and your gentle good nature. I love you Draco...Till we meet again

Bridget McEwen

You fought to stay as long as you could with us because we loved you so much.
It was harder to let you go.
We will miss you and look forward to the day we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.
Until then run, play, and tell everyone you meet that you are waiting for us to come home.

Stony & Michelle

Words cannot express the deep emptiness in our hearts for our boy Drake. We can only say "Thank you" for the unconditional love you have given us for only 10 short months. We will never ever forget you. You were the missing link to our family and you will missed more than words can describe. Run & play buddy boy until we meet again.

Dad, Mom & your best buddy Cory

Although Drako was taken from us too soon, he will forever live in our hearts.
I am thankful for the 2 1/2 years we had with him, his boundless energy and joy filling every single day.
Our home is not the same, nor will ever be the same - almost as if a dark cloud lingers over our house and hearts.
I pray Drako will be waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge....I long to see him again, to hold him in my arms, to see him jump up next to me.
Until then, may he be running happily in the fields, swimming in the water, and basking in the sun.

We love you buddy boy.

Kristi Williams

My beloved friend, My heart aches so much for you. For 15 years your love was unconditional. You were the most friendly cat that I ever knew !! From the time I got you as a kitten to the day you passed you were always there. Everyone loved you,, Katie, Mookie & Jerry miss you too ! Jerry misses his mentor. Your loss came as such a shock but at least you went fast & you did not suffer long,,, Tony the Tiger was waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, and you are together again. Please be waiting for me I miss you so much ,,,

Patricia Cody

We miss our sweet boy.

Susan McNeil

Drakius has gone to the rainbow bridge- to feel happy,healthy,and secure- the only hint of sadness he can feel there is a longing to see his best furriend, Karen, again. This was the love of his lifetime, of every life time- a timeless bond that will never be forgotten. HE brought such love to Karen's heart, and he is so loved still. He was a snowflake in her hand- beautiful, unique, yet in the scheme of our lifetimes, their time here is fleeting. HE will be missed deeply each and every day until the day when he can greet Karen again and escort her over the bridge, to meet all the other cats they have loved here on earth.

Laure Baker

Our hearts our broken, Dray.
You were unconditional with your love and so affectionate with everyone you met. You made us feel so very loved.
It was you who brought Todd and Melissa together, you're a good little matchmaker.
We wish we could have done more for you; we didn't realize how sick you were. You never complained, just wanted to show your love and affection. Gardening won't be the same without you with us, climbing all over us and rubbing your head against us.
This morning's walk was so lonely without you there as an escort. There's no more suffering or pain for you, yet we can't stop crying over you.
Rest peacefully on Dad's lap and keep him company until we can all be together again.
Thank you little buddy for being a part of our lives.
We love you and miss you more than words can express.

Todd and Melissa Reynolds

Sweet Dreams my precious Dreamz until we meet again.
Mom, Dad, Misty, Taylor, Colton, Mack and Mom will miss you greatly!

Dre was my baby boy. He always took up more of the bed than I did, even though he was a rather small dog for his breed. He was the love of my life along with his surviving sister, Blondie.

I have never gotten over my loss, I have just learned to live without him. I will never forget him and pray that we will meet at the Rainbow Bridge some day.

Stefanie D. Reed

My dear little Drewski I will miss you each and every day! You made me happy when noone else could! My heart bleeds for you and I hope you are truly at peace. I honestly pray that one day you will be by my side again showering me with your kisses and wagging your tail! Have fun on the Rainbow Bridge and never forget how much I love you! Bye for now baby girl!

He was truly a king, just like the King Drtad III after whom he was named.

We will all be together again someday.

Cindy Skelton

Doogle bug we miss you like crazy and our hearts hurt for you.

Until we meet again....

Sarah & Tom Fish

DUCHESS WAS ALWAYS BY MY SIDE AND UNDER MY FEET. I MISS YOU DUCHESS. YOU WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE IN MY HEART. YOU ALWAYS WELCOMED ME WHEN I CAME HOME AND YOU WERE MY CHILD. I RAISED YOU FROM THE TIME YOU WERE 2 MONTHS OLD AND YOU BROUGHT ME SUCH JOY AND LAUGHTER EVERY SINGLE DAY. I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH AND HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!!

Nancy

Duchess was a great dog.
She was my friend and my baby.
Something terrible went wrong with her and she attacked a dog & almost me.
We hated to have her put down & tried to find a home for her, but to no avail. I miss you Duchess and will always remember you.
I love you so much.
No dog will ever be as special as you.

Suzanne Mills

Duchess was the sweetest dog one could hope for. Kind and gentle, she was loved by all the children and her other dog friends in the neighborhood.
Each night before she layed down she would lick and nuzzle my hand. Her way of a good night kiss.
She passed away unexpectedly running in the meadows behind her home. I laid her to rest in the woods beside the stream where she loved to play. There was never a more faithful dog and I will miss her always.

Joseph, Rita, Claire, Paul, & Mark Solinsky

Poor Dutchie, so like her mother, into everything, always trying to beat up her brothers/sisters & showing them who's boss.

Sue Jorgenson

Duchess, we will miss you terribly. You gave us many years filled with love and tenderness. We will miss our boat rides with you in the summer. We miss your constant wagging tail and the funny way you drank out of your water bowl.
You were a beautiful dog that loved us unconditionally. Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge. We love you.
Love,
Dad, Mommy & Chris

Duchess,
How do you pay tribute to such a royal dog? We got here when we lived on "Queensway Court" so, of course, she was the Duchess of Queensway Court!
Duchess quickly learned all here commands to sign language and could tell the difference between her toys if you asked her to fetch them. In 2001 her mommy Adelle took very ill and had to be on Chemo. Duchess faithfully laid by her mommy's side and, when she got sick she followed her and made sure that she was ok. She loved to play with both her mom's. When she was young, as soon as a coat was put on she was ready for a car ride. She played with her sister's Misty and Bubbles (both cats) they have gone on too.
Duchess will be thought of for,the way she would tug at the blankets when she wanted something
but most of all the love that she gave. She will forever be in our hearts. Until we are together again, your mommies love you!

The best friend I ever had! A beautiful, caring, selfless dog. She will alwayse be missed and never ever forgotten!

Neal

Duch baby,
You're Mummy and Daddy's very very very precious beautiful,loyal,faithful,gentle,kind,understanding,patient,considerate and under appreciated baby.
Mummy,Daddy,your three sisters and aunty k will never never forget you. Baby, you left us way way too soon.No words can express our loss & feelings since you went home to be with God.It is a combination of sadness ,extreme aching pain,anger,regret and many others that words are inadequate to describe.We miss you more than words can say and long to see you again.
Mummy and Daddy long for our family to be together again.It is going to take us a lifetime to figure out how to live without your beautiful soul and our hearts are broken with you gone. Our only consolation and comfort is that you are home with God and Lord Jesus Christ and that you are no longer in pain and will never suffer pain again.
Baby,be happy and try not to miss us too much. We know in our hearts, your spirit is here and that you are an Angel watching us and protecting us.
We will never never never forget you and will always,always,always love and miss you.xxxxxxxxxx

I will miss you forever.

I will miss you forever my little doodlebug

Rita Forshee

Today, I suffer my greatest loss to date.
My best friend, my brother, my son - my dog Dude has passed on.
He swallowed a part of a leash and although he was very strong and not ready to go, had no choice.
A little after midnight, MT, he passed while under anesthesia.
I am comforted by the good times we had but just want one more chance to say I love you, I'm sorry for the times I yelled, sorry for the discipline and sorry for the many mistakes I made.
I wouldn't trade one of the seconds we had together, but 4 years and 4 months were far too few to ever show you how much I love you.

Brian Tunick

Dude was not with us for very long...but he was a special boy.
Meghann brought him and Daisy (aka: Cammy Cat) home when Dude was only a few days old. We bottle fed him and eventually he nursed from his "mother" Isabella... a PUG! Dude was a handsome cat...with long black hair..fangs...and just one white whisker. Dude was playful... we had to hide the toilet paper as he would attack and shred the entire roll. Dude did not want to to stay indoors...there was so much to do outside.
The morning of his last day...he was bringing home a baby bunny as a gift to us.
The bunny got away (with Tim's help) Dude was also a protector.
When Kris & Cheri came to care for the dogs... he protected "his territory" by batting at their legs when they came in the house.
I will miss Dude following me around the yard...or hanging on the back door looking in. We'll miss him rubbing our legs and sitting on our laps.

Dude was LOVED!

Trudy Peterson

Oh Dude - you were the natural born son of John and I.
You were four weeks old when we met you and you took charge of the household in no time.
John loved you soooooo much as did I - but you were the special mission for which John had to search out.
Felix the Cat took over your rearing the very day we brought you home.
He just jumped up on top of your carrier, laid down and peered down into the carrier with a look of satisfaction and then proceeded to sleep there.
You always were something - I remember coming home at lunch to the shark infested wood floors - it was a challenge for a while to have lunch at home without the pantyhose paying a price!!!
Also, to get back to work minus the "Paw Prints by Dude" on my clothes was an additional challenge.
You gave us so much joy.
When John passed on you were not even 1 1/2 years old.
I used to just sit on the front porch and watch you in the yard playing and I would be laughing and saying to myself "John did not die, he just took up residence inside of Dude" because he always made me laugh and you always made me laugh.
You made it so much gentler for me during that time of deep, deep loss.
Dude - I never thought anything would be so hard as the day I discovered John in his death sleep but I have to say, Dude - this one is hard to take.
I love you so much and there are so many memories!!
I miss you and there is such an emptiness, such an unbelievable sense of your not being there, that black void I feel, that reality.
Baby, when I come home I can't stand it - you are not in the front yard - you are not there to greet me -- you are not there when I turn on the hose to water and you would figure the hose was your playtime.
You loved the water.
I am not filling up the water bowl now and I miss that.
How you would just get your feet in the water bowl and splash the water out.
As soon as I would give you clean water you just figured it was prime opportunity to splash out the water and clean your paws.
The tub I had gotten for Balder when we had to treat him for mites - after his passing that became the water hole for you.
I would fill it up and you could drink out of it or jump inside it and stand in the water - or, better yet, an even bigger water dish to splash the water out of.
You always had such a joy of things - everyday, you were joy.
Always looking for jobs to do.
I miss you so much.
I know I should put a more positive twist on your passing but right now I can't.
I am selfish and I want you back.
I want those things I cannot have.
I want to turn back the clock.
Dude - I am sorry for being selfish right now and being upset you are not here, but I am upset.
I want the impossible.
I hope you can forgive me during this time - I want you to be happy and I get this great comforting picture that you and John (and Shasta, Blackie Boy, Fritz, Felix, Harry, Bogart, Balder) are there together smiling, laughing, playing, being together.
I look forward to the day when I can be with all of you - really, I do.
But right now, stuck with all my mortal faults, I ache for you, I am empty and sad and lost without you, I FEEL SO BAD.
Until another time when acceptance is easier for me I must say to my shadow chaser, my basketball herder, my sunbeam pawer - I miss you, I ache for you and I so truly love you.
And I do remember, and this brings comfort to me, that for a Border Collie the trick to life is making it look easy.
You still (and always will) bring a smile to my face.
Just like to this day I still laugh thinking about things John would have said or done - as if it weren't some 12 years ago but yesterday - my memories of you will be like that.
As long as I live it will only seem like yesterday and I will still be talking to you and laughing about things you would do.
You were a national treasure, the greatest source of hope.
Play on, Dude, go herd the basketball and run it till it gets enough speed and then run in front of it to roll up your nose to your forehead, and bump it high into the air, and you jump and catch it in your front paws -- I love you.
Thank you for allowing me the pleasure in having participated in your life, in having known you and known your love.
Goodbye.

Linda Bell

He was a great cat, and I miss him. Everyone I know cried when he passed on, and there will never be a cat like him again. He was a one in a million kitty.

Grace Fogle

Dude, I miss you so much. I am so sorry that you got so sick. After being together for 16 years, it feels like a part of me has died. I love you so very much and know that you loved me and I hope that someday we can be together again. You will always be in my heart. I will never ever forget you.

Sandra Hayden

Rest in Peace sweet baby girl, we had you for 13 wonderful years, and we will love you forever. You were such a good kitty.

I love you so Dudley.
Rest in peace boy, until we meet again, you are always in my heart and soul.

Greg Kauffman

Our Little Man;

You are gone from our arms, but will be in our hearts always.
We miss you terribly.

Marsha & Diane

He was always 'such a good boy' who left us too soon. May he always rest in peace, until we meet again at the rainbow bridge. All our love

Raymond Smith and Michael Kopnski

My little Dudley was such a good dog.
He had some tricky little habits, like barking to go outside and my poodle and pommy would run with him to the door.
They went outside, Dudley came back into the kitchen.
Trickster.
He had Cushing's Disease and with medication was not getting any better.
Before giving him over to the Vet and the Tech, I held him and told him how much I loved him.
Surely God has doggy heaven and I know he will be there. RIP Dudley

Anne Denman

Dudley was our first child. We got him 2 months after our marriage and enjoyed 9 great years with him! He was always by our side and always a faithful pal! He is greatly missed!

Matt and Karen Jenkins

We are so lost without him.

Kathy Starnick

How do I begin to explain the void since my beloved Dudley has just left us. I only pray that he knew how much I loved him and that they only reason I helped him on to the next world is because I loved him and didn't want him to live in pain anymore.
Dudley was special from day one. Funny, quirkie, full of love. He loved outside....sleeping on the bed next to mama....treats....playing ball in his younger years....licking those he adored most....watching over the kids....cuddling on the couch...walks around the neighborhood....boat rides on the pontoon....and he really loved licking the fish as we caught them.
Words escape me that I'm sure I could go on, but that is only because the pain of loosing him is too raw right now. He was my first baby....and I will hold him in my heart forever. I miss you Dudley....please come back to me in another puppy someday. Your bed will be waiting.
Mama (Jenn Abbott)

Our beloved Duffer, thank you for all the love and joy you brought to our lives these past 12 years.
You will live forever in our hearts.
We love you.

Duff, You were my little buddy.
There is such a void here now without you following me around & checking out everything I do.
I miss you so, as do your buddies Snickers & Bailey.
We will love you always & keep your memory in our hearts.
I am thankful for the short 6 years that God loaned you to us.
Run with the angels now, my buddy.

Bonnie Majka

Duffy was our loving, loyal, crazy Airedale Terrier.
He will be sadly missed.

Becki, Jim, Ella, Taylor Jacobs

Doodle,
God lent you to me when I needed you most, but now he wants you back. Go and wait for me, and to all those who went before, let them know I love them as much as I love you. Want to see those legs working again when I get there. See you later, Sweet Poo.

Deb & John Henneman

Where to begin, well 14 1/2 years ago we wanted to get a puppy. We looked in the newspaper and had a few breeds in mind that wasn't to big or to small & didn't shed. We saw an ad for a Kerry Blue Terrier which we didn't know what they looked like until we went on the internet to look up that breed. KBT's were so cute & just the right size, so we called the number from the ad. The breeder kept us on the phone for a long interview & then arrangements were made to go see the puppies. When we got to the house we were brought to the area where the puppies were. We sat on the floor & the puppies were climbing on our legs & wanted to be played with, they were all so cute, it was hard to pick just one. Time went on & the breeder asked if we would be interested in a show quality dog & they would groom & show the dog for us. We agreed & then we had to wait until the puppies got a liitle older & they would choose
the one they felt would be a great match for us. When the time came, we went to the breeders house, we were anxiously awaiting to meet our new puppy. The moment came when the woman carried out our new pride & joy. She introduced him to us as "our new son". We knew it was going to be a boy & already had a name picked for him & a tag that read Dugan, which he looked like a Dugan. Dugan was 3 months old & was all black & when the woman handed him to me, I had tears in my eyes cause I knew he was specially picked for us to love him & take care of him.

Our family was now complete. When we brought him home & walked in the house, we said, "welcome to your new home, we know you'll love it here". As Dugan got older we started taking him to be groomed for the Dog Shows.Dugan started in Puppy Matches with other puppies his age. When he was considered an adult, he was shown with dogs his age. Dugan enjoyed being in the spotlight & received many Ribbons & Points. He didn't become a Champion through the Dog Shows, but Dugan was our Champion.
A year & a half later, we decided Dugan needed a sister to play with. We saw an ad for Miniature Schnauzers, which we were familiar with so we called the number. When we went to meet the owner, there were only two puppies left & she knew we wanted a girl, & there she was, waiting for us to take her home. We also had a name picked out & a tag with her name on it, her name, Gretchen. She was so little, we were afraid that Dugan would think she was a toy to chew. When we brought her home, Dugan was such a great big brother. When Gretchen would bother him he would jump on the couch cause he knew she couldn't get up there. Little to his surprise, she learned how to get up on the couch when she got bigger.

We went on many vacations together & both dogs enjoyed when people talked to them and petted them. Dugan & Gretchen also had their own vacation occassionally at the Pet Motel & one time when picking them up, they turned around to go back to their room, but then they came with us. That's when we knew they enjoyed being at the Pet Motel with all the other dogs to bark at.

Later on we acquired an older Miniature Schnauzer that we knew & loved even before Dugan & Gretchen & his name was Ruffy. Now we had three precious dogs until a year & a half later when Ruffy was then 14 yrs.old, passed away Dec, 1999 & was added to the Rainbow Bridge Family. Dugan & Gretchen missed their older brother & so did all who knew him & loved him.

As the years passed, Dugan & Gretchen were still active & happy. Dugan turned 14 on June 22,08 & seemed to be slowing down a little & for him, that was amazing cause he was always full of energy. Many visits to the Vet who just said that he was getting older & slowing down. They said to try different techniques to get Dugan to eat, which only worked for a short while. Dugan was loosing to much weight & now there was a call for another opinion. He was brought to the Animal Emergency & Referral Center where extensive tests were done. It was upsetting to find out what they found, cause back in Sept, 08, his vet should of done a chest x-ray which would of told us that Dugan had that cruel word, Cancer, he was healthier then but we had to move forward. That was the diagnosis from the tests that were done at the Animal Emergency place. The Doctors were being optimistic about the treatment for Dugan, even though it seemed that we were to late finding out he had Cancer, we weren't going to give up on Dugan. We wished that Dugan could of told us he was sick, we know he showed us, but that's not good enough. It totally hurts to know when dogs slow down as they get older, that's what we think it is, especially cause Dugan was fed good food & watched the ingredients. Like I said, everyone was being optimistic & surgery was schedualed for October 23, 08 which was a Thursday. A Specialist was going to perform the surgery to remove the Cancerous Mass that was in Dugan. It was off for surgery & Dugan was in our prayers the whole time. Then the call came around 4:15p.m. We were told to come see Dugan, he wasn't doing so well. We were not expecting to hear those words. When we got there, the Doctor came in the room to talk to us, he said when Dugan was in surgery, it was worse then they originally thought. Then we went to the room where Dugan was laying on a table with a warm blanket over him & a tube in his mouth to keep his airways open. He was breathing on his own, but barely, they said that if they removed the tube, Dugan may not know to breathe or swallow on his own.

It was so hard to see Dugan the way he was, they said that Dugan couldn't hear us when we were talking to him, telling him how much we love him & hoped that he would of gotten better. But we know in our hearts that he heard every word we said. Then came the hardest, worst, unfair decision to not have Dugan suffer the way he was, the Doctor explained that they did everything possible to have Dugan better to be able to take him home, but that's not what happened. On Thursday October 23, 2008, we had to say goodbye to our loving, fun, sweet, caring & precious baby boy who lived to enjoy 141/2 years of life. Dugan will forever be in our hearts, for all that knew him & loved him, he will be so very missed. The memories will never be forgotten & will be treasured. Now Dugan has been reunited with all his friends that have crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge Family. We will always love you Dugan.
Gretchen wants to add something- I will miss my big brother, I will miss taking walks with him & that I was proud to have grown up with Dugan, you were the best big brother in the world, I woof you.

Love You Forever,

Mom, Dad,& Gretchen

Dugan came to us from Montana where he was found by my sister, Margaret, at a Shelter.
He had been mistreated somewhere, somehow and we spent many years trying to show him that he was loved and wasn't going to be abandoned again.
Eventually he became a member of our family and I think he was happy bolting around his new yard and hiding bones everywhere.
Maybe he was happiest when his little sister beagle arrived and he could alpha dog her.
My two sons, Clay and Jonathan, and I will miss his free spirit and constant energy, his determination to never be locked up anywhere, his kind face, and, yes, even his random attempts at growling.
He was a real dog and we loved him.
May he rest in peace.

Susan Wheeler Slaughter
