Linda

The house seems so empty without you here.
Our love for you will always remain strong, my lady la. You were my sweet baby and I will never forget your unconditional love that you showed me in the short time we had you. Though I don't think forever would have been long enough.
It is reassuring to know that all of your illnesses are no longer causing you pain. I am blessed to have had you in my life.
I can't wait until we meet and I can once more scratch your belly while you put your "boody in the air".
Be good, my sweet girl.
You are forever in my heart and you have left a pawprint on my soul.

Lacey,

You were the best dog in the world. I still miss your gentle loving heart. Rest in peace.

Mom

Lacey loved everything about life.
She was happy every day and made those around her happy with her constant exuberance.
The most loyal and devoted dog, she made sure her owner was safe and happy at all times.
Lacey knew when I was sick or worried, and did her best to soothe me.
A piece of my has died with my beloved dog.
My only comfort is that she did quickly and had no idea what was happening.
Lacey will be forever missed by her friend and family, and we will never, ever forget her.

Brandy Catton

Missing and loving you so very much baby girl!!!

J

Lacey, what a wonderful friend. Your spirit lives on in my heart. Here's to 14.7 memorable years. What a good, long run you had. I can't wait to see you again my friend.
Not "over" just "out" for now. Love you, Mom

My mom and dad rescued me 2-1/2 years ago when my name was "Lucy."
I was fragile and broken in mind and spirit but Pam, my foster mom at North Central Maltese Rescue, really helped me before going to my new home.

My new mom said I was as delicate and fragile as fine, white lace so she and Dad decided to call me "Laci."
I loved my new name and took to it right away.

The doctor told Mom I was very old, probably at least 10, and very sick. In addition to congestive heart failure, I had arthritis, cataracts and no teeth. Mom and Dad thought my little pink tongue that lopped out of the left side of my mouth was very cute.
I knew then I so had them wrapped around my tiny little paws.

When I first came, Dad finished fencing in the yard for me with a very pretty white picket fence...but I was very cunning and if I tried hard enough when I saw him at the neighbors, I could squeeze through a couple of the slats to get to him.
Sometimes he scolded me just a little, but he always smiled when he did because he really was quite proud that I loved him so much I wanted to be right by his side.
Mom always said I was a daddy's girl, but she knew when I felt bad, or was hurting, I always wanted to be with her.
She knew just how to make me feel better.

They told me this would be my last home and it would be the best I ever had...and it was.
I loved them very much in return.
Mom said I "ruled the roost," whatever that meant.
I think she said that because my new Lhasa sister, Gabbi, was very intimidated by me, even though she was three times my size.
Really it was because I thought since I didn't have any teeth I should act really tough and get the first shot in.
They nicknamed me "Little Pistol" after that.

My mom was a church secretary and I went to work with her every day.
I had my own carseat and loved to watch out the window as we rode along.

Then Mom and Dad retired.
I didn't know what that meant either, but I really liked it because they took Gabbi and me out of the heat of Texas and into Maine where we stayed until it was cool back home again.
I loved riding in the motorhome and camping at so many different places, but I was really glad to be back in my big yard when we got home.

I responded really well to the medicines for my heart, but about 2 months ago I started feeling really bad.
It hurt very much just to walk. I never complained, but they could tell I was miserable.
The doctor suggested trying a few things to help me, but I felt bad much more often than I felt better.
I was very, very tired and ready to go where I would feel better again and be able to play once more.
Mom and Dad could tell that's what I wanted and they cried and talked to each other about me for two days.
Mom even talked to me about it, and while I couldn't speak her words she said she could see in my eyes what I wanted.

We had come back to Maine for another summer so they found a very nice doctor for me at Penobscot Veterinary Clinic in Bangor.
They wrapped me in my favorite blanket and gave me more hugs and kisses than I've ever had.
I was really hurting but the nice doctor gave me a shot that made me relax and feel better right away.
Mom and Dad gave me more hugs and kisses while the doctor gave me another shot.
The next thing I knew I was at that wonderful place Mom told me about - The Rainbow Bridge.
I feel so good, like a puppy again.
And there are lots and lots of friends to play with here.

I can see that it's very hard for Mom and Dad right now, and Mom crys a lot.
But they loved me enough to do what was best for me.
Lots of people are calling them, and sending lots of emails to comfort them and it looks like it's helping a lot.
I heard them tell someone they are taking my ashes back to my yard in Texas.
I'm glad they have friends to help them through this rough time.
Even my bratty Lhasa sister, Gabbi, misses me.
I never knew she liked me so much.

I think I'll let her "rule the roost" again!!

Monty and Penny Farrar

Dear Laci.
You will ALWAYS be my HUG-A-BUG....
Thank you for all the memories and for Parker, Midge and Emily.
Rest in Peace Dear Mama.
You will remain in our hearts forever.
Until we're together again...Eddie will take care of you.
Missed very much by Ken and Beth

My precious Chihuahua Laci passed in the middle of the night

In Loving memory

Our Laci Ann passed away between 1:45 AM till I found her near my computer chair-where she always sits to be next to me. I found her at 2:30 AM. Laci was 13 yrs old as of last month. Laci had a bad heart. She was on heart medicine and lasix. Lasix was for the fluid she had around her heart. Bless her heart-I guess it wasn't enough. She had been having more frequent coughing and wheezing spells in the last month. When this happened only my husband Mark could calm her down. Mark had a lazyboy chair that she would sit in and on her favorite blankie. We'd all love on her and fuss over her till she got through the worst part. Then she was her ole Laci again.

Last night Laci seemed to be in a particularly bad coughing and wheezing spell. Laci always sleeps with us. We tried for about 30 minutes to help her calm down. But she didn't want to sit still, be held or anything. So I asked Mark if he would take Laci and go sleep in the lazyboy chair & see if that would calm her down.

I guess I fell asleep after I knew she would feel better with Mark. But around 2:30 AM I jumped out of bed to make sure Laci was all right. As I entered the living room I didn't see Laci in the lazyboy with Mark. I panicked and woke Mark up. I asked him where Laci was at? he thought she was still with him. He asked me to go see if maybe she went and crawled into bed with Brittany (our daughter). So just as I was about to run to Brittany's room...I saw my precious Laci. Right next to my computer chair. I don't think I'll ever get the memory out of my head of seeing my Laci dead.

By this time I was crying, falling next to my Laci. I knew she was gone from us. Mark tried to pick her up and I wouldn't let anyone move her. I wasn't ready yet. But all I could do was sit there and cry. Brittany was crying, Mark was trying to be strong for us girls but even he couldn't hold the tears back.

I asked Mark to get the large shoe box in my closet for me. I got up and got 2 of my newest extra long and softest Holiday kitchen towels to cover her up in. Some how I wanted her to have something new, soft and never used.

I laid the first one in the box like a blanket. Then I asked Mark to please pick her up with the other soft towel and lay her gently in the box. She looked like an angel, just asleep.

We live in a mobile home park-so I was worried that some animal might get to her, which made me cry even harder. So I asked Mark to get the duct tape and make sure it was completely secured. Then I remember just holding the box with her in it and not wanting to let go!! Mark finally took the box from me-with sadness in his eyes. He knew I didn't want to let go of her.

Then Brittany wrote her feelings about what Laci meant to her on top of the box. Then I did the same. Lastly we wrote her date of birth 10-28-1995 to 11/19-2008.

I asked Mark to please make her grave really, really deep, so that she wouldn't be disturbed. He did.

So in the middle of the night we all said our good-bye's and laid our precious Laci in her resting place.

Laci was mine and Brittany's first furbaby that we'd had from birth till death. Laci was a gift to Brittany from her dad and I when Brittany was 10. Laci's Mom was our first Chihuahua. So we watched Laci come into this world. We called her Laci, because when she was born-she looked the color of a beautiful old timey cream colored lace.

Laci was not just a dog as some will say. In fact we don't call any of our furbabies *dogs* to me that word seems inadequate. Laci was a member of our family-one who gave all of her heart and unconditional love to us all, till the very end.

Sleep well my precious Laci. You will never be forgotten.

Love you~Mom

Lacie,

We miss you so much!
Your sisters Sandy and Cocoa miss playing with you.
We think of you every day!
You were so much fun to watch when you were chasing the little geckos.
We would laugh when you would stop and stare at the windchimes when they would chime.
Now everytime we hear the windchimes we know it is you!
Our sweet lovely Lacie Lou - may you rest in peace!
Love Mom and Dad

Lacy was a great dog and best friend.
She will be greatly missed by so many that knew her.
Her cancer moved quickly and we know she's in a better place.

Carol

My best friend

Rob & Leslie Beier

Lacy girl I miss you so much.
From the moment I met you at the shelter you were the sweetest out there.
The two years nine months we were together I will never forget.

Just wish for one last chance to say goodbye for now.
Until we meet again at the bridge

Craig

My beloved Lacy
Your suffering is over
and at peace you're now.
I loved you and I cared for you
as best as I knew how.
Now with God's loving Grace
you are in a better place.
You made people happy, comforted many too.
You truly were the sweetest pet
We will be missing you!
I feel saddness and the emptiness
without you around,
I miss your love, your cuddliness
and I miss your sound.
I cherish precious memories.
Dear Lord comfort me with peace

Ruth Soucek

LACY WAS AND ALWAYS A LOVE. SHE NEVER MET A PERSON, DOG BISCUIT, OR FRENCH FRY THAT SHE DID NOT LIKE. CANCER OF THE SPLEEN TO HER FROM US ON MONDAY. LACY IT'S BEEN A MONTH SINCE YOU COULD EAT NOW I KNOW YOUR EATING AGAIN LOVE MOM, DAD AND SISTER ANGEL

My beloved Lacy died of poisoning.
Topical Flea Control is highly suspected. Even with the odds against her she fought hard for 7 days but lost the battle last Thursday Jan. 24th
She had the sweetest personality. Lacy was a Pro
and a therapist without any special training.
Together we visited three local
Rehabilitation Centers on regular basis once a month for more than 11 years. She made many people happy and more than once got residents out of depression. She was a Pro, for not even once in all those years did she show aggression
even when handled roughly at times.
She will be missed by all but especially by me.

Ruth Soucek

I love you Lacy. I keep looking for you to walk around the corner and I can still smell you on my pillows. Sometimes I even hear the jingle of your collar. For me, at times, it is even hard to breath.

There are so few people or even animals with the sweet and gentle spirit that you had, Lacy. Few in life will love you unconditionally. You did that and more. You are missed.

Linda Leto

General & Ladd were brothers from the same breeder, but not littermates (same mother different fathers).
They were both abandonded by their owners at the end of 1999 and we brought the two of them from a shelter into "Golden Opportunities" rescue organization.
No one wanted to adopt both together, and their bond was so tight that I decided to adopt them so they would always be forever together.
They were my forever boys.
General died suddenly in 2005 of cardiac hemangiosarcoma and Ladd just passed away on April 24th 2008 also of hemangiosarcoma.
He was diagnosed at the begining of April so we had some time together before General came to take him to the Rainbow Bridge.
They were my best boys and taught me really how to love, and know love, and cherish love.
As any pet lover can tell you it is so far beyond unconditional, it is supreme eternal love.
They will always be forever in my life, in my heart, and in my soul.
May they both be together forever until I can be there with them.
Thank you for giving LIFE, LOVE, a & True Happiness.
I will continue to rescue until the day that dogs no longer need to be resuced and humanity can wake up and treat animals with the respect and dignity they so richly deserve.
Your in my thoughts and prayers and live on in spirit and in my heart.
May eternity blanket you with love and happiness always, you both are the best part of who I am.
I love you both your forever Dad!!

Still miss you after all these years.

Trudy Thalmann

I had to do the impossible today and put my best friend to sleep. He followed me everywhere I went and now I look and he is not there. Through divorce, death, and all other troubles I knew he would be there, not passing judgement, just giving unconditional love. I did not want to do it and I feel that I let him down when he needed me most. I will miss him forever. Laddie I love you.

Dad

A wonderful Friend rescued from RSPCA in 1996 and has been a faithful family friend, we miss you Laddie.

Claire Marie Jones

My little Lady added meaning and purpose to my life that I have never before experienced. She rescued me from the local pound four years ago.
I only hope that I can continue honor her by being a better person than I was prior to her coming into my life.

Victor

Dear Lady tomorrow is a year. I love you, I miss you, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you.I realize now I'm not going to get over this, I will someday get used to it. Maybe. Please know that you are so loved.Jackie's birthday is tomorrow.So wierd that you died on her birthday. Well Lady, till we meet again. Just know that you are still alive in my heart.
Miss you, Big Girl.
Erin

My lady was my best friend, the love of my life and the warmth in my heart.
She will be missed greatly.
I hope you find Knuckles over that bridge and play together as you once did years ago.
I love you Lady and always will.

Barb Enslen

Lady was a wonderful little clown who left for the Rainbow Bridge very suddenly. We didn't know she had the tumor, no symptoms at all, until the internal bleeding began. The emergency vet said she had no chance and we had to help her to the bridge before we were ready. She was about nine years old and is missed terribly by her family. At least she didn't suffer. She joins her big brother, Titus, at the bridge.

Cheryl

Dear Lady,

I miss you very much.
It's been a little over three years and I still get so upset thinking of the fact that you are no longer with us & the sad way that you passed on.
I alwasy knew that when the day finally came that it would be unbearable.
It makes me so sad.
I STILL MISS YOU TERRIBLY AND SO DOES ALL OF THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT YOU TONIGHt & I CRYED ALL THE WAY HOME IN THE CAR.
I saw a very large rainbow last week and though of you at the rainbow bridge.
I MISS YOU TERRIBLY & WANTED TO WRITE YOU THIS TRIBUTE.
You were the bst friend that I ever had.
I miss you so much.
Your loyalty and devotion were unmatched by noone.
Our bond was truly special & you will ALWAYS in my heart. You are sorely missed.

Grace

Lady was a part of our family for 16 years and she made the decision to put her down very difficult.
She fought up to the very minute, and we will always remember her like that.
My sisters and I can't remember a time without her! She is actually the luckiest of all of us because now she gets to be with Dad.
:)

Lady was the sweetest and most loving dog I ever had. She always wanted to love you and anyone who happened by.
Her fur was the softest and the most beautiful caramel and white colors that made her look like a dog angel.
Lady was with us for 15 wonderful years and she will be greatly missed by everyone who truly knew her.

Katherine Bernard Furr

To my sweet, gracious, and loving Lady, I love you with all my heart and I miss you beyond sadness. I am so very sorry your life here was so short. I hoped for more time with you. I am so deeply sorry I couldn't prevent your illness, and I wish I spent more time with you. My deepest regret is that you are no longer physically in my life now but you will always be with me.
I will always love you Lady and YOU will always be my only pup.
Keep my love with you forever. May God welcome you into heaven.

Kathy Buehler

Lady was my very best friend, there is not a day when I don't think of her, we had a very special connection, she was my little girl, I know it was a long time ago but I miss her so much. When I need somone to talk to I sit with her in my garden talking to her.
I cry constantly about her, there is no other dog that can take her place. I look forward to meeting my little girl again someday.
Much love my little girl, miss you everyday.

Beverley Ruby

My wife passed away in Jan. 1999 and I got Lady later that year.
She filled a void in my life and was my dearest friend and companion for 10 years.
Lady was a brave fighter as she was battling Cushing Disease for the past 4 years. We helped each other through health problems and she never ceased to amaze me with her compassion. I will always remember our life together,
I will miss you dearly.

Jerry Schnetz

Dear Lady,

It will be three years July 11th since you passed.
I STILL NEVER GOT OVER IT.
I MISS YOU.
I still wish that I could have brought you home that day & that you passing was not as painful as it was (for me - and everyone else) that day.
I did not want to be selfish so I let you go.
I did not want you to suffer. You were too good of a dog & friend to me not to want what was best for you.
No one still till this day can really talk about it for long.
ESPECIALLY me.
I cry just thinking of it.

I still remember all the good times.
You were Lucky Lady.
The minute you left life got harder.

I will never forget our times spent together (we were really close - especially since we knew our time was limited with the cancer).
We enjoyed every minute & it definately was quality time.

Until we meet again, my old friend.
Be happy at the Rainbown Bridge

Grace

Although you were a dog that wasn't wanted any longer by your first family Lady, since I knew you from a puppy and watched you when your family went on vacations and welcomed you into my home with my furbabies, when you were left with me, although I had decided I wanted to have only two dogs from here on in, because I am getting older, I didn't turn you away. You were mine. You had won my heart years before you came to me.

Jeanne Bogusz

Though you were my Dad's dog I did help him pick you out of the Humane Society. All you needed was lots of love, understanding and fresh air and walks. You loved car rides, hikes, and people. We had no idea that you had cancer of the colon. Even though you were with us for only 2 1/2 years you enriched our lifes so much. Playing with you at Dad's getting your behind up in the air front feet down ,tail wagging a mile a minute.I loved it when we played and the kisses you gave out when asked. I was glad to have been your friend and playmate and as hard as it was I am glad i held your head in my arms when your last breath came. I will miss you dear friend, but you are now across the rainbow bridge and one day we will meet again my sweet Lady. Good-bye for now, Love, Pam

Pam

She was much loved by Tom, Andy and Katie.

The Hunter Family

TO MY BELOVED LADY,

THINKING OF YOU NOW AND ALWAYS
YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL TO ME AND YOU ALWAYS WILL.XX

Sue Endacott

My dear Lady, our little Boo Boo. We all miss you so much.
All these years have passed, but it just seems like yesterday.
Your best friend Princess still turns her head to look at me when I mention your name.
She's 14 now and a weak in the legs, but her spirit is great.
Boo, our little one is now 8 years old.
She reminds us so much of you, even the way she sleeps with her head on my foot, when I am on the sofa, just like you used to do.

We all miss you so much, but you are free of pain now and I can picture you running around so happily with your ears flapping in the wind.

Until we meet again.

Love Brenda, Glenn, Princess & Boo

You were loved greatly and now you are missed, but we know it was time and you are now at peace.

Linsted Family

Lady you gave us 16 yrs of love and devotion, we will love and miss you everyday, God Bless You and
keep you always We hope your with Sam We will be together again someday Love D

Today I laid to rest on of my best friends.
She was little Spitz named Lady.
I had her for 17 years.
Lady came into our lives when our youngest son was 1 year old and she grew up with him.
We knew that her time was getting near but it never makes it any easier. She was full of life and a little spit-fire at times but always ready to love us. She loved to go to the groomers about this time every year and let them trim her hair and groom her. When she would come home, everyone would have to tell her how pretty she was, she loved it.
She knew she was pretty. She will always be in our heart but now she is playing at the Rainbow Bridge and waiting for us to be with her again.

Vicki Burnett

Lady - Mommy, Daddy, Nikki, Julia and RJ will miss you always!!!
You were a true and loyal friend and an important member of this family. We will always love you and you will be in our hearts forever.

dear lady we miss you every day.
we love u so much.
love from mum dad + grace x x x x x xx

To my sweet granddog Lady,

You were the light of my daughter's life. A constant loving companion. Always there for her, ready to go whereever she went. You were an amazing dog. Smart and cute. Especially when that ear cocked up. I will always love you and think of you and hope someday you can be with my daughter across the rainbow bridge. Thank you Lady for being my daughter's best friend.

Grandma Susan

Well my precious Lady Jane it's been one year without you to be there first thing in the morning and last thing at night and my heart still aches to hold you again. Oh I know there is no more pain for you which is a good thing I just miss you all the time. You know that little dog we found before you and Purdy went to the bridge just doesn't take your place in my life. There are times when I go to call you instead and find myself in tears again. I miss our walks, and you when I came home first thing you needed was that bone and the last thing before I left the house often I find myself reaching for one only your not
waiting for one.I know your safe and watching over me but I hope you'll be waiting for me when it's my turn to pass that way, You were my Best Friend and Protector and always there wagging that beautiful full tail and a loving kiss. Rest my Sweet Girl and know your always and still loved and missed every single day.
Love MOM

In loving memory of our Lady who unselfishly gave her heart to everyone and every animal she met and always behaved like a perfect Lady - her very large circle of people miss her very much

Lansdowns

Our beloved Lady, oh how much we still miss our sweet, beautiful girl. It has been almost a year since you were taken from us. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you and feel the pain the pain and emptiness in my heart. I know they say that grief is the price that we pay for love and if that is the case, I will be paying a price for the rest of my life. You brought so much life and love to us right up until the end of your time. I owe you my life and could never repay that debt, I still hurt so bad that I couldn't prevent your loss. I hope that God is gracious and will allow us to be reunited one day. Until that time my precious girl, I will carry the memory of you in my heart and will remember you forever.
We got a new puppy to
help ease the pain of your loss, but I wish that he could have known you so he could have learned how to be a great dog.
You were the best and I'm glad that I can say you were my friend. RIP Lady girl.

Gerald Parker

Loving and missing you always-Your family

Gallucci

she was there when i was born when i came home i loved her from the start i am sad that she is gone but at least she is in a good place now

Lisa

Dear Lady, I love and miss you so much. I hope you are happy and comfortable. We bought a new puppy, not to replace you which is impossible, but to help me get through this.
He's keeping us busy and he is a doll.
He's a little Pom, not even 4 months. I don't know if you can see me here, but I am sure you didn't like it if you did look down and see me cry so much and so often. My heart broke and I felt like a big part of me died with you on Dec 19th. You know that's Jackie's birthday. She loves and misses you too. Please know that even though we have this new yet to be named puppy, you are always missed, respected,and so loved. Buddy is trying to get used to him.
Because you were like a mother to him, he acts so much like a Golden, and not much like a Pom.
Well Lady, if you can keep an eye on us and try ,and tell new puppy where he should go to bathroom.
Till next time Lady.
Love You ,
Mummy

My little princess.
I was so very lucky to have her love and companionship for 14 years. I love her and miss her so much. She was always so happy, always wanted to spend time with me.
I didn't know just how sick she was. She never showed me or let me know that she was in pain.
We stayed together until she took her last breath.
My heart aches every day, every minute. I just don't know how to live without my little princess.

Lady's mother,
Leonor

Lady, aka Kitten, was one in a million. Beautiful, gentle, loving, mischeivious in play, a real character. She was an angel that was called home. She had a short time with us, though we were so blessed to have her. She had a heart defect that could not have been corrected. I held her at birth and she died in my arms. She was loved every second that she lived. God has a most wonderful pet now. We miss her and will always love her.

Michaela, Connor, and Duncan Davidson

Please bless and carry to heaven beautiful Lady.
She is a wonderful sweet dog.

Kathleen Baker

Dear Lady.
I will love and miss you all the days of my life. We all miss you. I am so sorry you got so sick. I absolutely adored yoy Lady. I am so grateful that the last face you saw was mine.
I am glad that you had your treats and icecream just an hour before you left.
I am so sorry I didn't realize that you were dying. I have to go get your ashes tomorrow. God help me with that. Please be with me as much as you can ,for as long as you can,but if you are having a great time in Heaven, then enjoy yourself and don't worry about me. Do your best to enjoy yourself. I don't want you to worry. My love is with you forever. Until we meet again. Tell Little Kitty we miss him too. I love you . Your best friend,
Erin

Lady and Annie please look after Rusty when he gets to Rainbow Bridge.
We love you

To my special baby, you picked us out of the store.
We will always remember you with all of the love and devotion that you have always shown us.
We will miss you always, and can not wait to meet you on the other side. You will always be in our hearts, and will always be by our side.
Baby you will always be forever and always our little girl.
We miss you more than you will ever know.
You have shown us what Love is all about.
Thank You so much for being in our lives and for taking care of us.
Even though we thougt we were taking care of you these past few years, you truly tought us how to really Love.
What can we say to an Angel?
Thank you Lord for the present that you have given us. We will always be thankful.

Love always and forever,
we will see you in heaven.
Mommy and Daddy.

It is with profound sadness that we enter a tribute on the passing of our most precious and beloved Lady Anne. Lady died from complications from cancer. Lady was preceded in death on March 25 by her adopted brother Winston 2/20/03 - 3/25/08(See his tribute). Both were Westies. Our little “sweetie” was loved by everyone who knew her and she will be dearly missed by everyone including the residents and staff of Delmar Gardens Nursing Facility in which Lady along with her brother Winston would visit twice a month as therapy dogs. We got Lady 3 years ago from Westie Rescue of Missouri where for the first 8 years of her life she lived in horrible condition as a breeder in a puppy mill and in our grief we are comforted by the knowledge that we gave Lady the best quality life we could give her in a loving home and she in return gave so much more love back.

I was truly blessed by an incident that occurred the evening before Lady’s passing. When I came to bed I laid on my back which I usually do not do and Lady crawled up next to me and placed her head on my chest. I laid there for some time intentionally staying awake to take in the moment. A parting gift from my Lady. As you know our pets show us unconditional love.

June and I wish to thank all of you for your prayers and expressions of concern for the very difficult time we have been going through these past months.

Donald & June Siress

I miss you my beautiful lady. Thank you for loving me and always being there for me, no matter what.I love you, my Tiny Tina.

Ava Purvis

To our sweet baby Lady ...

You were a little ball of fur when we got you from the shelter there were 2 puppies, but you chose us and we are forever grateful that you did.
You would run like the wind baby girl and were always trying to escape from the yard even though you had 7 acres of woods to play in!
You loved to roll around and have your belly scratched and thensit in my lap outside. When you got sick and started staying inside and finally couldn't walk anymore, you loved to watch Cardinal baseball games with Daddy, it seems they never lost when you were wathcing with him!

We will love you and miss you forever - but we know you were tired and needed to go to heaven and take care of your baby sister who left us 6 wks ago unexpectantly. Tell Mahlie hi for us, and run like the wind again baby girl!!!

Love you,

Mom, Dad, Kris(human brother) and Missy(dog sister)

Lady Belle, my angel will forever be remembered for her loving and beautiful spirit who was on earth for a seemingly, short time.
She was a special friend who even in death had her tongue out, looking as sweet as always.
We will remember the good times, her infamous hopping along, running and belle-fits.
I will miss her sweet, loving ways forever.
But, I will see her in heaven!

Kimberly Sanders

I am so saddened by the loss of my beloved Lady who crossed the bridge this morning.
She was such a good, kind, loving, and quirky cat.
I am glad to say that I was with her until the end and I hope that she is in heaven with my Mom, her son Blackie, Uncle Ted, Grandma, and all our other loved ones that have passed.
I will miss her dearly and I will love her forever!!

Michele Johns

We only had you for a few short months but you were so loved.
We miss your spirit and how you made it known that you wanted your treats.
Your smile and dancing was such a heart warmer.
Bug you are so loved and missed baby girl.

Amy McCarty

Lady Bug was my best friend. We were together for 10 years, and today I lost her to a stroke. She started mutts and more pet rescue. She was my partner during work days, camping, yard work, riding the 4 wheelers or just lounging on the couch. She helped all of our rescue doggies get ajusted and helped me when I had to send them to their new forever homes. She never left my side.
Today I wrapped her in her blanket and said goodbye for now and as I look out at our cherry bushes I am forever thankful that I had a true best friend.
I love you Lady Bug

Dawn

Beloved dog of Ron Miller & Gert-John Kruydenberg.
Born in Auckland New Zealand and Died in Den Haag The Netherlands. She will be sadly missed.Forever
in our hearts and minds, rest in peace lady!

You were a truly great and loving companion.
You will be missed.
I know you are in a better place now and that you are reunited with Jean-Luc.
All my love.

Roger Brill

My Lady Di. I thought I saved you, but have come to realize how much you saved me. I will never forget you and what you have done...you were my sounding board, my tear catcher, my foot warmer and most of all my friend. I will be empty and lost for a very long time. I miss you so much.

Teri Temple

Lady Di was a most loving pet.
She always wanted to be near me wherever that was.
Lady had severe arthritis in all 4 legs.
I tried everything that was suggested by the vets.
Nothing worked.
She was so loving, I miss her terribly.
She has only been gone a little more than 24 hours, but, my grief is unconsolable.
She love everyone and everyone loved her.
She was the tri-colored kind, black, white and a little brown.
Oh, how I love her.
Please say a prayer for her.

Glenda Seelos

Lady was the sweetest, most kind hearted dog I ever new. Cancer took her all to soon and so quickly I did not have time to get ready. I will miss her greatly and so will her brother Goober. He knows she is gone and is grieving too.

Janice Doughty

MY 4 LEGGED SOULMATE !

Anne

we had a family dog by the name Lady, she was the BEST that we ever had, Lady was the only dog that we had for the longest, she was a great dog, she knew every trick and she learned it quick, she never misbehaved. every time i felt sad i would go outside to my back yard to get fresh air and she would be there at my side always trying to cheer me up by licking on my face and whipping my tears always. My father had gotten it for my brother when he was 8yrs old and I was 5yrs old. when he turned 18 he joined the military and the same day he lefted I had gone outside and I notice something different about her and I knew what it was she was missing him i would always go outside to be with her letting that i was there for her and i told her that my brother joined the army and that he was coming back. And I let her know that he wouldn't forget her. A yr went by and he came to visit. once he went to the back yard to see her i had gone outside to see because i knew it was gonna make her happy and it was gonna be the greats day for her because she saw him again. He had lefted again when his vacation was over. she was becoming even more ill another yr went by and we took her to the vet clinic and the dr. had told us that she had cancer and even if we got her treatment that she was still gonna be suffering and the family had talked about what we could do and we decide to put her to rest because we didn't want her to suffer anymore. but the saddest part was she didn't get to see my brother for the last time but she knows that he loved her very much we all loved her very much we will never forget you lady!! months have pass by and my father told everyone that we couldn't let my brother know about lady cuz it was gonna crush him but I knew that he had to know I didn't want to hide anything from my brother so I told him what happen. We both had cried together by phone and I was letting him know that she was in a better place and that she was young and healthy again. I was scared to put her to rest because I knew I wasn't gonna see her ever again I didn't want her to go, but I didn't want her to suffer i went with my father to go take her. That day I cried so much that I lost it to the point where I wanted to go with her I wanted to be with her. Everyday I go outside and jus sit there and think about the memories we had with lady. I jus sit there crying. It's hard to lose someone you love someone that has been there for you. I still to this Point tear up about lady, in her memory I will be getting a tattoo two dog paws on my wrist And her name is the middle with a rainbow and a bridge, and the yrs she was born and the day we put her to sleep. When we have a family dog we treat them like they are part of the family like they are human. Lady was truly the BEST!

***Lady I know your listing to me write this I jus want to let you know that I love you so much you were the best dog we have ever had no other dog will replace you, we miss you so much, you'll always be in your hearts you'll never be forgotten, I promise, I cant wait to see you again ***

Love Always
Monica Felix

I miss her so much. Does the hurt ever go away? She was a speial dog. The last thing I said to her she was to wait for and someday we will be together again> Now I know she is waiting foe me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Cathy Lee

You have given me so many wonderful years of love and companionship.
You have given me unconditional love and I cannot imagine my life without you.
You have been there for me in the most troublesome times of my life.
I hope you are in comfort again and I will love you forever.
Thank you for being my best friend...

Michelle Gaburo

Sunny came to me at a very difficult time, I had been diagnoised with breast cancer and had just finished my treatment when we adopted her.
She helped me so much, giving me a chance to heal and a much needed distraction.
I had lost my job and my kids were getting older and didn't need me much.
She and I developed a very special bond, and we had a lot of fun with learning tricks and going for long walks.
She loved to run and chase the geese at the pond, how beautiful she looked.
In 2006 I was told I had DCIS, and had to have a masectomy.
This was very hard.
Sunny layed at my feet the whole time I recovered.
She was always there for me, was crazy in love with my kids and husband and we will miss her so much.

Dee Blann

My beautiful baby,
You were with me from the time you were 8 weeks old.
You howled with the wolves (on CD at least) and hunted the elusive moles in the backyard.
I'll miss you curling up with me on my chair while I wove maille, and curled up next to me while I slept.
You always knew when I was sad or just depressed, knowing that your kisses always made me feel better.
You always loved me when I didn't feel like anyone else did or could.
I will miss you more than I will ever be able to express.
Daddy loves you Vere-doggy-dog and I always will.

My Sweet Lady

ONCE LOST AND ALONE. LADY WAS A STREET DOG WHO DELIVERED 8 PUPPIES, ALTHOUGH SHE ONLY WEIGHED 13 PDS. I NURSED HER BACK TO LIFE, AND I ADORED HER SO MUCH. SHE WAS AN ANGEL IN THE HOUSE, BUT ONCE SHE WENT OUTSIDE -SHE BECAME THE DOG FROM THE STREETS. SHE LOVED TO RUN, CHASE AND CLIMB TREES. LOL SHE TRIED SO HARD! SHE LOVED TO BE LOVED, SHE WAS SWEET, AND SO ADORABLE. MY MILLIE (PET) DOG IS
MOURNING. OMG SERIOUSLY! ITS SO SAD. I CRY CRY AND CRY, BUT I CANT BRING HER BACK. SHE WAS HIT BY A CAR AND KILLED INSTANTLY. SHE LOVED TO RUN, I JUST WISH SHE COULD RUN BACK TO ME.

Keith Dough

Oh my baby girl.
You are my heart!
A most beautiful baby amongst the crowd chose me.
I stood and watched you with your siblings, watched as you left them to walk to me - wrapping
yourself around my ankle.
This is a habit you started that day that continued until this weekend.
I took you home, I had already succumbed to your beautiful eyes.
You sat on my shoulder in my hair until we arrived home.
A few weeks later you were watching me almost fall trying to train you and take you outside.
You were SO patient.
Puppies don’t do that.
Wrapping yourself at my feet as if to brace me knowing I would do anything to not fall on you.
As I continued to recover from my accident your patience grew, with me as I crumbled in the hallway not able to move another step, as you gave me strength to leave the marriage, as you adjusted time and time again to the countless moves and yet another new schedule.
I owe you my life.
You are my strength!
Time takes us through many car trips, many long walks, many snuggly nights that ended with you ‘stealing’ my pillow.
I acted like I minded but I so didn’t care.
I owe you every pillow you want.
You are my comfort!
Cancer is an ugly word, the one thing I could not protect you from.
The thing I could not take from you.
We were sitting on the deck, smelling the fresh spring air, me warming you after your bath and I knew what needed to be done so that you would have no pain.
I was trying to find the strength to do so, talking to you, asking you to tell me when it was time when you looked up at me with eyes that no longer had sight and listened to me with ears that no longer heard but I knew you could see me and could hear me.
You wrapped around my ankles and tried to wag your little nubby tail! I picked you as I had a million times before.
I held you close my baby as you rested your head on my arm and took your last breath.
You can hear and see now My Love and the cancer is gone – you can run and wag your tail and shake your toys and LIVE.
Through every heartache, every failed dream you stood by me, my confidant, my very best friend and the true love of my life.
14 years was nowhere near enough time with you!
What do you do when your very best friend is gone?

Please wait for me my Mysty Angel.

Many Warm Memories,
Mommy
Melissa Jane Nulter

Lady was a very special friend,smart,witty,and very loving.She will be greaty missed.

I AM MISSING HER TERRIBLY

Barbara Willard

My Dearest Sable

Today, Thanksgiving 2006, I say goodbye to you my friend.

You know me, girl, I’m not real good with words when it comes to matters of the heart. I’ve tried my best to come up with something that would be meaningful and honoring to such a noble creature of God. The words have failed me though. All that I have to offer you are memories, memories that I cherish as much as life itself.

Today we are reminded of things that we are thankful for and I cannot go on any longer without officially paying tribute to you. Today begins my journey of healing with a memorial to the greatest dog I’ve ever known.

When I think of the things in life that I am most thankful for, you are in those thoughts. When I give thanks to God for the many gifts that he has bestowed upon me, you are considered one of those gifts. When I look at my life, I see you girl, for there isn’t an aspect of my life that
you haven’t touched.

The greatest gifts ever received are gifts from the heart. You gave your heart willingly and so completely. I thank you my friend & companion, for without you I would have never received the gift of unconditional love.

I give thanks today Sable, thanks for eyes. Big brown eyes that viewed me as though I were the most important person in the whole world. Eyes that could talk, could understand, could soothe my weary soul.

I give thanks for big ol’ paws. Paws that ran to greet me each and every day. Paws that could climb an 8-foot fence landing on the ground with the agility and grace of a cat.

I give thanks for the lessons that I learned when I thought that I was training you. I have often said that you taught me more about myself in 10 short years than I could obtain on my own in 35.

I had thoughts of listing all of the things that made you so special and paying tribute to each one. What I realized though is that words, no matter how eloquently spoken, could never do you justice. They could never really honor or pay tribute to you and could never express the depth of the love we shared for each other. For this I am thankful. I am thankful because all of the wonderful that you encompassed was reserved for me, and it was beyond words.

In closing my Lady, I pay tribute to you and your memory. Your love is etched upon my heart where it will remain for the rest of my life. I am forever blessed with the lessons of love that you have taught me. I will be forever grateful for having had the privilege of spending 10 of the best years of my life with you. You will always be mommas “dood dirl”.

Lady Sable – The greatest dog I’ve ever known.

Wait for me at the bridge girl. I'll bring the ball.

Momma

Lady

You showed me soo much love and I will always have you in my heart. Enjoy your wings angel. I love you baby!

Mark Smith

A wonderful dog and friend who had attitude.
We will always miss you. The day you slipped from our arms will be a day we will never forget.
Sleep in peace dear friend and we will meet again one day at the Rainbow Bridge.

Gayle, Pat, Nellie, Steel-E

Ladybug you will always be in our hearts.
Too soon taken from our lives.
We love you.

Pat and Jim

Ladybug was a treasured, loving companion for nearly 16 years.
All I know about speaking dog - and I know a lot - was learned either from her or because of her.
She was my little tank who chose her own time to cross the Rainbow Bridge to save me the pain of having to make that most horrible decision.
I love and miss you, Ladybug.

Linda Lea

we will miss you forever your the best

Wendy, Jeff, Michelle, Jason

LADYBUG WAS MY BABY. I TREATED HER JUST LIKE A HUMAN. SHE OPENED HER OWN PRESENTS ON CHRISTMAS AND HER BIRTHDAY. SHE WAS MY PRIDE AND JOY. IT WAS AWFUL WHEN I HAD TO PUT HER DOWN. WE WERE SOULMATES. I ALWAYS SANG THE SONG[YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD. I STILL FEEL HER PRESENCEALL AROUND BUT I SURE MISS HER. I KNOW WHEN GOD SAID WE WOULD MEET AGAIN THAT DREAM CAME TRUE WHEN I READ [RAINBOW BRIDGE] GOD DID GIVE ME TWO EXTRA YEARS WITH HER.I CREMATED HER AND WHEN I DIE I WILL BE CREMATED ALSO AND OUR ASHES WILL BE PUT TOGETHER AND WE WILL BE BURIED WITH MY MOTHER AND GRANDPARENTS. I ALWAYS TOLD HER WE WOULD BE TOGETHER FOREVER. I LOVE YOU, LADYBUG.

MOMMY

Good bye my little sweethart. You were the best dog ever. Daddy and Mama love you and miss you very much Mama thinks about you every day but i know that you are not suffering any more and you crossed the rainbow.

My darling angel Laika - run and play again my angel.

Debbie Lopes

Lakoda came into our lives before we were even married as a 4 week old runt of the litter.
She blessed our lives for 14 wonderful years. Koda loved life so much, she fought to stay with us as long as she could.

Koda loved unconditionally.
No matter how bad of a day I had she was always there wagging her tail and ready to lick me.
She just seemed to make me feel better.

Lisa and I have been trying to get pregnant for 7 years, in February 2008 we finally succeeded.
Koda seemed to hold on in her old age to make sure we made it through the first tri-mester.
Her job of taking care of us was now over.
I believe God gave her to us because he knew we were going to need her comforting.
Friday May 2nd we got the good news(baby doing great), unfortunately came Saturday when my baby girl(Koda) just could not hold on any longer.
Sunday afternoon we had to help her pass on.
That was the hardest thing I have EVER had to do!
She is best dog I have ever had and ever will have.

My only regret is I never took her for that walk I promised her and that breaks my heart.
"I'm sorry Koda, please forgive me Big Wolf".
"You will always be in my heart".

"Wait for me Big Wolf and I will take you for that walk I promised you".

Thirteen years ago, I saw an add in the paper for "Hybrid Wolf pups".
The curosity got the best of me and I had to go see them.
When I got there, there were 8 beautiful pups.
This precious solid white ball of fun and fur kept coming back to me.
I had to take her home!!!
The first few weeks were filled with lots of fun, exasperating training, and much love.

Lakota was the most intelligent, committed animal I ever had the experience of being close to.
The very best part was how she made our family feel.
She was so committed to us, and protective.
We were her "Pack".
Being a pet-parent to a hybrid wolf has it's own challenges.
I was committed to making the experience a win-win for all involved.
Hours of relentless training.
but all that paid off in the end when I can truly say she never had any other bad behavior after her puppy years.
Knowing that 13 is old for the larger breed dogs, we adopted a puppy brother this spring so he could get to know the routine.
Lakota would teach him how things ran around HER home, and that we were just part of their grand scheme!!
We have had 2 daughters since having Koty, and never once was there even an inkling that she would not accept her place in the pack.

Sadly, over the weekend, my husband came running in on Sat. nite to say something was wrong with our beloved Koty girl.
She could not get up from the back yard.
She was not able to stand, but did manage to get to her house.
While I was working on Sunday, Joe took her to the vet.
He gave her some injections, and sent one home for me to give on Monday morning.
Sunday nite, she rallied and had some water to drink and looked a little better.
But alas, on Monday morning her breathing was very labored, was incontinent, tongue hanging out and pale.
Knowing the worst was imminent, we took her again to the vet.
She was sooo sick, and yet continued to nuzzle me in the office.
We had to sling carry her frail 80 lb body into the office.
Having to make the worst decision in the world, I held my beloved Koty girl as the life passed from her tired body.
Koty had been my very first daughter.
One that had been through many of life's horrible tragedies over the past years.
The loss of my Father, our oldest daughter Laurelei, and through the birth of our youngest 2 daughters, Meliah and Savannah.
Steadfast and strong she was.
Always there to give puppy-kisses, furby nuggles, and to lay close to us on the floor, couch, bed to give comfort.
She was the best furry friend anyone could have ever wanted.
God Bless her, and know that she can play "Shoe", and not have to worry about any old body causing her pain.

We love you Lakota girl.
You will always be a part of our lives.
A part of who we are.
I had her cremated, and her ashes are to go with me when I pass.
We will be forever united my dear friend.
We love you and the whole in our lives will never be filled with the void you have left.

Paula and Joe

LaKota Ortiz from Clearwater, Florida
You were the joy in or & Life. We all will miss you, may you have fun with the bunnies and I will see you soon. We all LOVE YOU dearly. Sorry to see you go but we could no longer see you in pain. Until we meet again!
Love Mom & dad & Joshua.

PS. Buddy misses you too and the house is not fun like it use to be.

Hugs & Kiss my dear true friend & God Bless.

Efrain Ortiz

Lakotah,
I had you for less than a week and you touched me so much.
Life was unfair to you.
Someone threw you and your litter away, then the pound allowed you to suffer.
I wish with all my heart you were still here but you were too sick, too skinny.
We tried so hard.
I am so sorry.
You can go on to the Bridge knowing you were loved, you had a home, and a name.
You didn't die alone as a number.
Run little boy.
Run free and fly with the wind.

Rachel Michak

You are so cherished and I long to see your sweet face, my brave little boy.
You brought me untold joy and unconditional love.

Judith Morrison

Lana,
My feisty and so lovable little girl. Your eyes can now see. Run and play little one with all the mischief and energy you have once again.

Always in my heart.
MUM

You were a very special dog and my loyal companion for 13 years. You were a challenge, you had special needs, your first months at my home, I was ready to send you back to your rescue group and I will always be grateful that I stuck it out. And you turned out to be an amazing dog. Watching you run at your greyhound best lifted my spirit. I never felt more free. You were the most vocal and ill-behaved greyhound I ever met and I loved you for it! You always something to say, now my home is so silent without you. I miss your bark, I miss your funny personality and having you greet me at the door when I came home with your crazy barking and jumping. Even when you could no longer get up from your bed, you barked hello. I love you. I hope you are running on a great sun drenched field in the sky.

Yesterday I lost one of my best friends, Lance.
He was with me for most of my 31 years.
He lived a long and happy life and I am happy that he will not suffer any longer.
But I feel like I will be suffering for a long time.
He was a very special friend, who helped me whenever I needed it, and through all the ups and downs of life was always there to look at me with those big brown eyes, wagging tongue and to lick my face.
He was irreplaceable.
I will really miss him.

Excerpts from "A Dog's Prayer"
And beloved master , should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather, hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest... and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I draw, my fate was every safest in your hands.

Robyn

Laney-you were more than a dog. You were my best friend who helped me to understand love-unconditionally. Everyone you shook your butt at felt it as well. I was blessed to have you for as long as I did. Thank you for guiding me all these years and I know you will be waiting for me on the other side when my turn comes. You are irreplaceable and deeply missed. Love you Momma-MaryJo

Lani, you were our special little guy. So gracious, so beautiful, a special friend. You are missed greatly. We appreciate all the time we had with you. You will be in my thoughts. I love you.

Kirsi Arvila

Lansing, you are loved and greatly missed.
I hope to see you again in Heaven. You were a true blessing.

Love,

Dear Larry,
You didn't have much of a life on the streets.
Thank you so much for choosing me to trust and to love you.
Our time was short.
But I love you and I miss you.
Mommy

I will love you always and forever.
You will always be my loving, faithful, wonderful boy.
There is a constant ache in my heart that is only eased by the hope of seeing you again some day.

Eva Bull

one of the best-lived a long time -was charged to watch me when I was born in 55 almost lived another 20 years. he is still missed dearly

Kevin Ousley

Larry, you were an ornery old cuss, but truly loved . Your purr, which you shared so sparingly, was the very best.
Be safe, my little gray kitty.
Your wide-eyed kitty wonder will make me smile and you will remain in my heart.

Edie Pierce

Larry,
You were the sweetest, most loving cat.
It's been two months and I still miss you every day.
We love you and wish you were here with us.
I miss you hiding your head behind the shower curtain waiting for me to "find" you.
Nothing can take your place my pretty boy.

Sonya Webb

When animals enter our life, we start on a journey filled with adventure, learning, and love.
The animals reach deep into us and change us in ways that can hardly be described.
We grow in love.
And upon their leaving, we are lost, devastated.
Over time, we explore the story and see the meaning, and stand in awe of these remarkable beings.
What an honor they give us when they walk a part of our lives with us.

Larry was on this earth with us from May 8, 1996 - November 4, 2008.

Larry, the dopey dog, simple man, Mr. Fluffy, little buddy
Three months old and chasing the little girl with the pizza
Curiosity got you scratched as you stuck your head into the shrub with the cat hiding in it at Elliot Crossing apartments in Tempe, AZ
Yet, you walked on, with no hard feelings
Just rolling with the punches (or scratches)
Traveling all around the country, smiling with your tongue hanging out on the back country roads and looking out the window
As long as you had food, water, and maybe a tennis ball, life was good.
Digging in the sand on the beach and spraying it all over our towels and everything, (I wonder if you thought that was funny), to get to the sand below so that you could feel the cool sand on your tummy.
Did you know, Lar, that you have been my life-line this past year?
You forced me to leave the condo because I had to walk you, you allowed me to meet kind people on those walks, people who offered me the compassion and friendship I needed.
You were my constant companion.
The one part of my life I could count on when the world felt it was spinning out of control all around me.
I picture you now with an unlimited supply of tennis balls, eating a Chinese buffet, with naps in between.
Now, my spirit buddy, you are still with me, but in a different form.
We will meet again and I will come with treats and a tennis ball just for you.

Angie Call

Larry,
We'll never forget you little guy. You always made us smile with your little paw thing you always did. You were such a sweet puppy. Take care of Lulu for us. Oggie Jr. is there to watch over all of you. We'll miss you Larry.

Daniel and Meghanne

Lars or as we called him, Larsy, was our "baby."
He was our first.
We got him when he was just 6 weeks old.
He was a friendly dog and would allow any robber in the house!!
Ha!Ha!
Lars always had a smile on his face and tail was always wagging!

We, along with his Beagle sister, Chloe, will always miss him but are blest with happy memories etched in our hearts that no one can take away from us!

Blessed be the memory of our beloved Lars!

Kristi Marie Kahl Edwards and Paul David Edwards

After a long battle with arthritis, Larson passed away shortly after 10AM on May 10, 2008.
Although we knew it was coming, he went downhill much more quickly than we expected.
I held him in my arms during his final moments and said goodbye to him as he left our world and moved on to a place that we will never know until it is our time.

Your spirit will be missed.
Your little rituals, behaviours, and funny noises will be noticeably absent.
The way you tackled me with relentless affection.
The way you got that mischievous look in your eye when you wanted to play.

It brought me to my knees to see you in such pain at the end.
But now you are no longer in pain.
Your spirit free to explore and play.

I will see you again Buddy.

Love,
Scott.

I gave Lasagna to my beautiful son, who went over the RAINBOW BRIDGE at 19yrs,for his 10th birthday.She has been my rock and my link to him for almost 11yrs.I miss her every moment but rejoice to know they are together again.

Barb.Ward

Goodbye my friend. You were the BEST dog, friend, and companion, beyond anything I could have ever hoped for.
You made me happy during the saddest of times.
You taught me about unconditional love in a way that no one else ever could have.
You saw me through good times and bad, and you were always happy to see me regardless of what we were going through.
I will miss you always.

I hope I can be the man you always treated me as if I am.

Paige Armstrong

My beautiful girl, I miss you so much.
You made the whole house alive.
You were an answer to our prayers. We love you very much.
Kiss grandma and poppy for us.

Marion Illich

Lassie girl, you were the best friend we ever had.
We will miss your loving kisses and kind, sweet and gentle way.
You were loved by all who met you and you will be missed by many.
Thank you for coming into our lives with your endless unconditional love.
We are forever grateful to have known and loved you.
It was a pleasure to take care of you and you brought us so much joy.
We will see you when it is our turn to cross over.
Until then, you will always be in our thoughts and we look forward to the day when we will be reunited together again.
We love you Lassie.
Have a sweet life across the Rainbow Bridge.
Hugs and kisses to you.

Sean, Kass and Carly

He was gentle, loyal and loving.
He came to live with us when our son was just a toddler.
Gene doesn't remember a time when Lassie wasn't with us.

Lassie had belonged to a friend of our family. As a puppy he was given to an elderly widow to be her companion.
Lassie was her baby.
He was only a year old when she past away in her home, and he laid beside her for 2 days before she was found.

No one in the family could take him so they asked us if we could.
For us it would have been
unthinkable for us not to bring him home.

Lassie was with us for 16 years. We know that he is no longer in pain, the only pain left is in our hearts for having him leave us. And we know that he is waiting at the Rainbow Bridge with his brothers and sisters (cats) who have gone on before him.
One day we will all be together again.

Rhonda Byers

I love you my babydog.
I miss you terribly.
I know you are no longer in pain and in a better place.
We will be together again.

Kathy Cerrito

Latke, you will never leave our hearts.

Robyn

Oh my little Lava.. I adopted you on 10/18/2004.I was so excited the day I got to bring you home. To think noone wanted you. Adopting you and returning you because your medical condition was to time consuming. How lucky I was that they choose to turn away the most lovable adorable beautiful little soul. How my heart is hurting now that you have gone to Rainbow Bridge. I cannot begin to say how empty life is. Seeing your empty bed. Not meeting me at the door as I come home. I can see your little strut as you walked around town with me. As though saying hey check me out! I am the DUDE! Your quiet calm nature. You were blind, but you saw everything.I know you gave it your best in the end. At a time when I wanted to be the most selfish, I had to be the least selfish and let you go. Your fur brother and sisters are missing you so. But we will all meet again. And I know you are running, playing, seeing, and no longer struggling to breath. I love you my little man. I will miss you forever and a day. Thank you for letting me be your Mama.. And for all the love you have given me in our 4 short yrs together.... I Love You .. Mama Sandy

This little girl touched my life in the short amount of time that she was in it.
I loved her from the moment I saw her.
She followed me around the house and was my constant companion.
She loved her big brother Sharkboy too and wanted to be just like him.
Ultimately that is what killed her.
I will never forget you, you sweet little soul.
Please rest in peace and know that for the short time you were here, you were very loved.

Heather Kahl

You were greatly loved and are greatly missed. You made a difference in my life. Thank you for the wonderful moments and memories. I will always love you Lavanti!

Richard Barth

Lavender and Mr. D were mates. Lavender was a black and white girl and Mr D was an albino. They are the proud parents of Babooshka who is an albino and also a daughter by the name of Holly is white but not albino. She also has a blue ring around each eye which i'm told is rare. My friend owns The son and has informed me he has a tumor so i am unaware if he is alive.Holly lives at my fathers house and is getting on good. She misses her mohter though. Lavender to my knowledge died of a bursted abscess which she had before she even gave birth. I'm guessed that she must of got an infection then but i never thought she had an infection cuz she acted fine and raised her pups. Only when the male had to be seperated did she die... Her father died i believe of internal bleeding which i have no clue how it would of happened.They will be missed.

Katie Defelice

Laverne,

I knew when I got you, our time together on earth would be limited.
I know you weren't sure of us humans, and at most times didn't like to be bothered.
But we had a respect for each other and knew that the other did love us, but showed it differently.
When you started slowing down the past 2 weeks, I knew your time to go was fastly approaching, but I was in denial. Then today, I had to make the decision that nobody wants to make for their furry family member.
I hope you still love me and will greet me at the bridge.
I miss you terribly and can not wait to be reunited once again.
Take care my friend and always remember me and I will do the same.

Jamie Dayton

My little Boo Boo, Momma and Dad love and miss you!! You will always have a special place in our hearts. Dook on my baby. We will be waiting until the day we see you again.

Candice Kirn

We lost our beloved cat and family member, Lawrence today.
We adopted him in San Mateo, CA over 14 years ago and he moved with us all over the country.
He was friendly, loving and affectionate and was a turkey lover above all.
Good-bye my sweet and wonderful friend!

Jean Tremont

Thank you Larry for being such a wonderful companion for almost two decades.
The house is so empty without you.
I hope that you are in heaven with Daddy and all of the precious pets who have predeceased you.
When Daddy died it was you who sat with me day after day while I cried my eyes out.
You comforted me and made me feel as though I were still needed and wanted.
You were so special and your passing will leave a hole in my heart and in my life that will never be filled.
May you run in the flower fields of heaven, free from pain and once again being able to see and hear all that is around you. Keep Daddy company until I can join you. And never forget how much I love you.
Mama

Marie Novak

You were around a much shorter time than I ever imagined but I hope I gave you the best 4 years possible.

Jessica Lewis

Layla,

You've been so close to my heart

You made me smile everyday

I'm gonna miss the way you look at me

It's gonna take awhile,

To get over Today. (July 16, 2008) 16 yrs old

We Love You Layla

from:
Rey & Patti
and:
Lola (her sister cat)
Syd "The Man" (her brother dog)

Layla - you were only in my life and heart for a short time but you were sweet and gentle and I hope you have found profound peace and happiness in your journey to the next place. I love you skinny little cat.
I'm sorry you and Cody couldn't find comraderie together.

Pamela Austin

My beautiful Layla was a fierce protector of home, her fur siblings and me.
She was otherwise a gentle, loving soul who came from uncertain beginnings and blossomed in her forever home.
We loved her deeply and without reservation and she returned our love tenfold.

Cindy Haden

My darling Layla, I miss you tremendously and will love you with all my heart, for the rest of my life.
You have been such and joy and inspiration to me. You have kept me strong during trying times, although it is so hard to be strong now, without you to dry my tears.
I love you, darling, sweetie pie.

Cherie Collins

My poor Layla was only 4 years old when she I had to put.her to sleep..I hope wherever she is she knows that I will always love her with all my heart. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her and miss her to pieces. I hope she rests in peace and knows how heartbroken Mommy was to make the most difficult decision in all my life. I miss you Layla...Nomar, B, and Hannah too..so doesn't Mimi and Poppy. Love you and miss those baby blues

Susan

Lovely Layla, you've left a hole in my heart, I miss you and Gracie more than words can say.
I'll see you both across Rainbow Bridge.
Love and kisses

Sharon and Joel Barnett

Darling little girl--the sweetest gift in my life--you came along just when I needed you most. You were my baby, my forever love. The ache that I feel now will never end; a part of me is torn and can't be mended.

I thank you for spending your life with me, I thank you for your love, I thank you for the one of a kind angel that you have always been. I knew from the moment that I first spotted you in the litter that you belonged to me, and you knew that, too. Life is not always kind to even the best and gentlest of God's creatures, and you had to deal with a lot of illnesses along the way to the final day when we had to say goodbye. We had 13 1/2 years together, but it seems much too short. I would have spent every dime I have to keep you longer, but the doctors had no more miracles to offer. I could read it in your eyes that you knew that you were leaving--that you knew that the tears that I cried were for you. I'm still crying, three weeks later, and I don't doubt that I'll be crying years from now. I still look for you--imagine that I hear you--miss the feel of you sleeping at my feet. I find it hard to face waking to a day without that beautiful little face and knowing that wherever I am, you will be following close behind.

In the words of Beth Nielsen Chapman, "I will see you in the light of a thousand suns; I will hear you in the sound of the waves; I will know you when I come, as we all will come, through the doors beyond the grave."

If life is truly a circle, please find your way back to me. I will look for you every day, in every place that I go. My heart will know you--I have no doubt.

Your ashes wait now for mine--we'll be rejoined someday, there on the Rainbow Bridge if not before. I love you always, my darling Layla, my sweet, sweet child, more than words can ever say.

Rhonda Payne

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!!!
MY SWEET LITTLE LAYLA BELL!!!

Lauren, Austin, Matthew & Beasty

Laynie

She wasn't my first choice.
It was her name that caught my attention - Laynie - My mother's name.
A name that you don't hear often.
I knew then that it was fate - that she was meant for me.
My other dog, Mellie hated her from the moment they met.
Where Mellie was sweet and shy and obedient, Laynie was the exact opposite - outgoing, rambuncious, and into everywhere at once.
Her mouth was into everything...if it could be chewed
and mutilated, it was fair game.
It took a month for Mellie to warm up to her.
No matter how much Laynie tried to cuddle up to her, Mellie would coldly walk away.
It didn't help that Laynie would playfully bite and pull every moving part on Mellie's body.
But it did happen - that bonding process for both Mellie and I.
Mellie taught her to go potty outside - to walk well on a leash. What right and left was and to respect me.
I taught her eventually not to chew, to love walks and to love me.
She taught me everything else.
How a puppy smelled.
How her ear had a funny way of flipping over backwards giving her a what can I get into now look, her silly grin, her large bark, her smile with the bottom lip hanging down, her funny little eyebrow marking above her left eye.
How to laugh when I would come home to shredded paper...everywhere.
We all grew up together.
I added Jamie and we all agreed that Charlie was the one for us. She became a part of me, a part of who I had become.
It became routine to have them there always waiting for me.
Our long walks would turn into rabbit chasing, hare raising, deer fearing fun and the most beautiful thing was to see Laynie, Mellie and Jaime running thru the grass in full pursuit of a something that they had accidentally run into.
She was too kind-hearted ever to catch one.
It was her big heart that we loved. It was her big heart that eventually would fail her.
The vet had told me she had a slight heart murmer when I had her spade at 16 weeks old.
I didn't worry to much about it.
I thought that she would outgrow it.
Life then was young, we were young and by then I loved her.
In late August of this year, when Laynie was eight, she started to cough.
She had coughed before but never with such intensity.
Deep inside I knew that this was not good, and dreaded to take her to the vet.
Her heart murmer, she never outgrew.
But I hoped and prayed that maybe, it was, please oh please let it be something else.
The vet told me her heart, her beautiful big heart, the one that loved everyone and everything was failing.
It could be days or months.
Charlie and I was in a state of disbelief.
But we decided to take Laynie and "the girls" on a road trip to our favorite beach.
I walked her to all her favorite places and I prayed for a miracle.

I bought her heart products, every herb that was good for her and I made the decision to take her off the medication that the vet had prescribed.
It made her sick, she stopped eating, and other horrible side effects.
and I prayed for a miracle... I put her on a schedule, vitamins, food, I started to cook for her.. And I watched her grow thin and stop chasing rabbits... and I prayed for a miracle.
On November 30, Saturday, I took her and Mellie and Jaime for their walk.
We didn't go far.
Laynie seemed to enjoy it but the luster was gone from her eyes and she was so thin..and I prayed for a miracle.
When we got home, I tried to feed her but she didn't want to eat so I layed down beside this beautiful, wonderful creature and I told her how much I loved her, How much she had brought to all our lives - to my life. How she needed to wait for me and would come for her eventually and I kissed her ..and I prayed for a miracle.
Laynie died Sunday morning.
I woke up early to go see how she was and she was gone.
I held her in my arms for the last time and called out to Charlie.
We both held her in our arms and cried.
I kissed her on her forhead and left my lipstick there so that she would know how much I loved her.
Our Pooh dog was gone.
Our loss is an empty place in our hearts and in our home.
Her dog dish still stands with the others. Her leash still hangs on its hook.
I see her still laying around but it is only my imagination.
Charlie thought he heard her bark late one night. This big empty place in my heart cries out for her...and I prayed for a miracle.
And my miracle was answered.
God did not allow her to suffer long - he did not allow me to suffer.
To watch her grow thin, to hear her hacking cough which was a knife in my heart and to have to make that hard decision that we pet owners never want to make.
No - he answered my prayers.
For he took my girl softly with love.
He allowed us to say goodbye.
He let her die at home where she was safe and loved.
He had answered my prayers..
for he brought that beautiful creature into my life, into Charlie's life and into our hearts.
We are better people for loving her.
Laynie would have been 9 on December 15th.
We miss her so......

Mary & Charlie Hopkins

my sweet Lazzy..I was so heartbroken the day I came home and they said you had been killed.Daddy had buried you behind the barn. I never even got to say good bye.Some days I can't stop the tears.
I miss you so much.Sleep peacefully my big boy. I will always love you.

Cindi

Laz-cat was my best friend. He was my first pet and he and I were very bonded. He and I went through some rough times together, but through it all he was always there for me. He was my cat for sure. Every time I sat down anywhere, he'd be right there to sit or lie on me and purr. We loved each other deeply and I am very sad that he has left me behind. I hope we are reunited one day.

Gena Schwam

Rest for now my little JuJu.

For you are in pain no more.

And I'll see you in a little while
When we meet at heaven's door.

Wende Higgins

I love you.

Darylyn Paleski

Lazy,

No more pain baby girl, you are now in heaven, where we shall see you again someday!!! Your momma and daddy loves you, and will miss you very much!!!

Quentin Roland

Love and blessings.
May you be at peace.

John and Karen

When I think of our crazy calico kitty Leah, I am reminded of just how deeply I loved her and of how much I miss her spunky attitude. Her passing was so unexpected, I am incredibly grateful for the time that both Jason and I had with her.
Leah loved to "steal" ice cream, sneak candies out of my purse (which she would unzip first) and conning me out of the comfy seat on the balcony. She enjoyed watching things "fall" from the table (with the help of her paw of course), dragging around her crunchy frog and string, her toy puff balls that always ended up in her water bowl, and putting her paw on door handles, as if that somehow would magically open the door. Perhaps what I miss most is the warmth of my Leah sleeping at my back, purring.

Good-bye Princess.
Terry and Jason

Our beautiful, intelligent, sweet girl. She loved to run on the beach at 50 MPH! Her love filled our home. She valiantly fought osteosarcoma for much longer than anybody thought she could. We think she was just too fast for it to catch her. It never broke her leg, it certainly did not break her spirit, it could not rob the love we will have for her forever. She passed peacefully in the arms of her beloved family. We can't wait to be reunited with her at the rainbow bridge.

Robert Rayburn

Leah died at home during the night.
Now she is free of all her pain and discomfort and can run like the wind again as if she were a puppy and can play with all the other doggy angels.
Leah, I miss you baby girl with all my heart and soul.
We have been through so much together.
Remember when you were little ???
You will never ever be forgotten and I will think of you often.
Keep your eye on us to make sure we are all o.k. down here. Love, Mama and your fur butt sisters and brother.

Jody

I miss you ~ I love you
22 years with your meow
Half my Life
I miss you ~ I love you
22 years of you telling me how
Fulfilled my life
I miss you ~ I love you

Ronnie

I gave Ledgie to my daughter for Christmas about 15 years ago.
She was a darling little black ball of fur.
She had the manatee face, and such a darling little baby. As she grew, she became a devoted friend, she guard the house and the famiy.
She was gentle, loving, a faithful friend.
I raised teacup chihuahua's, as tiny as those little guys where there was never a problem. Ledgie was the Mom that watched over them and kept them safe.
I have three daughters also and I never had to worry, Ledgie was always there to keep them safe from harm.
I sure do miss her.

Dawn Thom Pson

My protector.
He was a guard cat.
Very good at his job.
He had so much expreesion in his face.
He would sniff my eyelashes, back up and look at me and sniff again.
I loved when he did that. Sweet disposition, very intuitive.
I know he is still with me everyday. I miss him.

Cheska Walter

You were the coolest cat You loved everyone, and everyone loved you back. You gave me so much joy in the short time we had you, thank you. You will be greatly missed, and I know you are happy now.

John

Leesha, I hope we gave you as much love and joy as you gave to us.
I'll never forget watching you play in the park with our dog group.
I'll never forget how you and your boy would dig in the sand together when you were both so young.
You and your kitten would play together then, too; and when older, you would groom him, and he would let you.
You would let the young boy rest his head on your stomach.
And you helped welcome Pepper into our home to become your inseparable canine companion.
See you on the other side.

Penny Troutner

Legal Limit was our beautiful, smart Black Lab.
He loved to run and would fetch a stick or a ball all day long.
He did tricks for treats--he loved his milkbones. Limit loved the water and could swim like a fish.
He never tired of playing in the creek.
But most of all he loved his family and always wanted to be right next to me or my husband.

We lost him in a terrible accident.
He was only five and we thought we had many more wonderful years together.
How I wish I could bring him back and hug him just once more.

It's been two weeks since he was taken and I still cry every day.
You didn't own Limit, you shared your life with him.
The house is so empty, I miss him so much.

Limit, I hope you are eating milkbones in heaven now.
I love you.
Your Pop is heartbroken over losing you and even the cats miss you.
Mom

Legend was more than a pet to me.
She was the light in my day, and the stars for my night.
Unconditional love does not even begin to express what we felt for one another.
Legend was there during the best and worst of times, she was a child, sister and best friend wrapped up in one big wrinkle.
I love her more than I may ever be able to express.

Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift a stone and there you will find me.

My love forever-Felicia Ann

We will loved you forever. You will be missed. We have had alot of great memories.
You are free now. Go run with your brother Cherokee.
We will remember you forever.
We will meet again.

Dawn, Sid, Courtney and Katrina Devereaux

We know you did not want to leave us but your time with us was over. You will now live on in our hearts forever. You were our loving and marvelous baby. When we met we needed each other and then we grew to love each other. We miss you every day.
My God keep you.

Roz and Arnie Weiss

My little Leighcy entered my life when she was just 6 weeks old, in December 1990.
On Monday, 1/7/08, I held my sweet angel in my arms as she took her last breath.
It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
To never look into your gentle, sweet eyes again, or feel you soft breath on my face, smell you, to feel you cuddled up next to me...it's more than I can bear right now.
Rest peacefully my sweet baby.
I will never forget you and I will love you through eternity.
I will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge and the reunion is the happiest thing I can think of.
You gave me such incredible joy for 17 years.
You were the brightest star in the sky, you were perfection. Your magnificent soul shone so brightly and your legacy is of pur love and sweetness. I miss you Leighcy-Bug.
I love you more than I can say.

Kathy Jorgenson

Loved beyond belief, too young, too special, to go too soon.
But we have faith that she was sent on a special mission.
We await the future, to have another "love" again.

MY GIFT NAMED LEIGHLA (by Denise Novak)

I wanted something special
To give to my true love
Something that would touch his heart
Something, from God above
Very few gifts come from heaven
But on that day I felt
That a puppy for my Jeff
Would surely make him melt
She was a Newfie
Fuzzy. black and small
She became the soul of our home
The greatest gift of all
As she grew big and fast
Our hearts grew right along
She was the light in every room
As she danced to her own song
She made us laugh, she made us smile
She was the center of our days
The way she moved, the way she played
Her very own unique ways
As time passed & memories grew
This gift blessed our life each day
She fulfilled the both of us
Until she went away
Only 3 years old
Gone way too soon
Our hearts are left in doom
I can't believe the emptiness
As I walk from room to room
She was always there
Right by our side
No matter where we went
But now all we have is memories
From the short time that we spent
Memories of all the joy
Her companionship, so strong & true
Leighla you are the best gift
Do you know how much we miss you?
The special gift I gave to Jeff
Leighla, the gift from your wife
I know that she will always be
A most precious part of your life
Never will we forget
The day that changed our heart
The girl whom God called upon
To give a brand new start
"We miss you Leighla!"

Jeff and Denise

Lei-Lo, we will miss you so much.
You have no idea what you have meant to us and what a great impact you have had in our lives.

Enjoy the rivers near the Rainbow Bridge, and being reunited with your littermates, your mom and your dad.

We love you.

Daddy and Momma

My precious baby, you brought so much light into all of our lives.
I have a hole in my heart the size of you, my fattest kitten.
Thank you for sharing your wonder and nature with us for 12 years.
You have been through everything with me, my confidante, my friend, my love.
I cherish the memory of you every day and will never love the likes of you again.
It helps me to know that you are free with no pain and no hurting.
I know you will be missing me as much as I am missing you too but I will always be with you.
I love you always and forever my beautiful Princess Lejna.

Jen Graham

LeMew was a loving wonderful cat.
My daughter calls her Mama Cat as when she would be sad, LeMew would come and rub her head and snuggle with her to comfort her.
She had a long, happy life.
We miss her purrs so much.

Peggy Zinser

Our beloved Lemieux left us on June 19, 2008.
His mom (Nan Hawthorne) and Dad (Jim Tedford) are very sad to lose him.
He was a good boy, a wonderful and loving friend, and the scion of our family.
For 15 wonderful years he entertained us, taught us about unconditional love, and added an unmeasurable amount of happiness to our lives.
The last two and a half years of his life was hard, due to kidney disease, but he continued to love and enrich us, despite his pain and discomfort.

Dude, during your time with us you made us so happy.
I think about you every day.
I will never forget how when I came home from work you would follow me and meow, and when I picked you up you would purr.

I miss you so much, Lemieux.
I love you.

Jim Tedford

Where do I began, and where do I end.

You tought me how to love and thank you for all of the good times we had togther.

Amy and Stephanie will always be with you and they loved you dearly.

Ten years went so fast and I will never foreget our last day togther as I played the guitar, and took you outside and put you in a blanket, and holding you as you pasted.

You will always be in my heart, and I am forever greatful for having you in my life.

I love you and if there is an afterlife I hope to meet you in the golding sky so we can go for a walk.

Love,

Bryan

We lost our little moo moo kitty who was a loyal friend to my daughter since she was in first grade until her first year of college. To our family he was a catdog. He loved ice cubes, corn and miniture marshmallows. Lambert was his best dog friend who passed away at the age of ten two years ago. He is know at rainbow brige with his best friend. He will be sadly missed and provide us with his unconditional love for many years. This morning I know in my heart Lemiuxe and Lambert were drinking ice water together. We love you moo moo kitty.

Leigh Ann Vruggink

To the most wonderful dog there ever was.
You will always be with me!!

Free at last to see and play.

Kristi & Susan

Lennon went first and Buster soon followed.
Lennon was my best friend, best buddy and best road trip dog.
You will never be forgotten.
Please take care of Buster and give Sandy lots of kisses.
I can't wait to see you all again.

Elaine

Lennox, everything happened so fast and I didn't know how else to end your pain. Please know that I did this out of love for you. Over the past 3 weeks, you endured 2 operations and lost the use of your back leg. When you could no longer lift your head to give me kisses, I knew it was time. I stayed with you and held you until it was over. That was the hardest thing I have ever done. Until we meet again, my love....my heart.

Nancy Read

Here's to my cat lennie. He was a special buddy to me and will be missed badly by me.He passed so suddenly and it seemed like overnight he was fine and the next day had breathing problems and was in distress and the vet said it was serious so i had my friend put to sleep in my arms. Thank you all

John Steven

We love you so much Lenny! We know you loved us too and we are so happy you are at peace with Heavenly Father. Have lots of fun and catnip! We can't wait to snuggle you again :)

WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Chris and Erin

Love you, Lenore.
I'll miss you.
Reunited with your "sister" Nellie.

Dan Dunscombe

I will love you and miss you until the end of time, my brave, sweet Leo.

Joanne De Marzo

I found Leo as a kitten at my college campus 16 years ago. I knew he was special the moment I found him. He used to attack my hand, so I would put on a black leather glove and let him attack to his heart's content. A few months later, Ebony showed up on our doorstep. He was a black kitten, but to Leo he was the new leather glove. Leo would walk up next to him, casually put his arm around him, and "slam" would go Ebony to the floor. They were my boys. Ebony died two years ago. Leo had advanced kidney failure and no longer had quality of life, so we said goodbye to him today. There was something about him - I had a special connection with Leo. He meant so much to me and my heart is broken. I miss you, Leo.

Jennifer Campagna

Leo, Today is the anniversary of your death.
You have been gone for 8 long years. I miss you still and pray that I will see you again someday. The lymphoma took you suddenly..no advanced warning. You were my first dog and we raised you from puppy to 4 years old. I know dad misses the walks you 2 took.
His tummy shows how much those walks are missed!!
Love you and miss you always,
Mom (Cindy M)

My little boy was a real sweetie. He was very strong and quiet, even until the end! He will be so missed by all of our family. However, because he was my mothers' cat when she passed away 5 years ago, I believe he has gone to be with her! I took care of him until they could be together again! I know they are both rejoicing to be together again!

Susan

Leo was truly our best friend. He taught several of our friends that horses don't need to be scary. He also helped several disabled children to learn to walk by allowing them to take lessons on him. His last days were served helping a young girl gain confidence.

Leo graced our lives every day, and we know that he enjoys his pasture across Rainbow Bridge.

You are a great champion. When you ran, the ground shook. The sky opened, and mere mortals parted. Parted the way to victory, where you'll meet me in the winner's circle where I'll put a blanket of flowers on your back.

We miss you, Bubba. We'll see you across that bridge! --Brittany and the Ackerman family

Leo, my buddy L..you are forever in my heart and I know you are happy that Daisy is with you now. I miss you both very much

Linda

We love you and miss you, Leo.
You were such an intelligent cat and you had quite a special bond with Gavin.
I am glad I got to say goodbye to you before you went to the Rainbow Bridge.

Bridget

Leo,

I'm so sorry you became ill. We did everything we could for you. You will always be my beautiful baby. xoxoxoxoxoxox I love you so much. Thank you for your last beautiful song, I will hear and remember it always. xoxoxox

Jacqueline Kimball

We had no idea, when walking through the door after work, that your wonderful face would not appear to greet us.
No idea that your bark, like the sound of a Chrysler truck trying to start, would be silenced.
Just the girls, older than you, quieter than you, met Tommy at the door of the kitchen.
What happened, Little Man, while we were gone?
You seemed to be sleeping. What happened to take you from us?
Did you know we were going to let you run in the Sunshine?
That elusive sun, playing fickle, coming so seldom to us this early spring.
It was out Friday, waiting for all of you to join it, to play in it's warmth.
But, it was not to be….

Putting you in the cold ground was more than we could bear.
But, you have your bed, blanket, and your kibbles with you.
You will never feel that fear of going hungry, as you did for so long after Tommy found you, a scared fella.
I knew you for such a little while.
Tommy had the joy of you for so much longer.
But, the years we had with you will remain with us always, BoBoSahn.
Whenever we hear the windchimes, we will know your tail is wagging happily, triggering their sound, as it did everyday that we can remember.

We love you and miss you so…….

Daddy loves you, MaMa loves you, our Little Man…

My Leo

When we first met,
He was a little blur of black and brown
Darting through the hay in a Tetonia barn;
His mother was wild, his father unknown.
Our loving patience caught him, brought him
Home with us all safe and warm;
We named him little Leo
We loved him, raised him, and kept him from harm.

His little tail was just a stub
This tiny kitten with eyes of blue;

So beautifully marked,
So small and quiet,
He fit inside my shoe.

We raised him with our dogs until
He thought he was one too.
He learned to come when called
With his golden eyes so big and true.
His meow was like a chirp or trill
And he grew up big and able
He loved to make some biscuits
In a lap that was avail-able.

He loved the wild country;
He didn't fear the snow;
And he always came home to us
No matter how far he'd go.
When we divorced he came with me
From Blackfoot to the Gulf
Days of driving and hotel rooms
Till we found ourselves a house.

A year of living on the coast
Then he went with me back home
I found a job in Knoxville
Thought I never more would roam.
So he moved with me to Heiskell
And roamed the hills and vales
Full grown, yet still my baby
Furry, 15 pounds – no tail.

I moved up onto the Plateau
In the wilder country there;
Leo loved exploring
And wandered everywhere.
A familiar little figure
In his chair beside my door,
Greeting me when I came home
Chirping and rolling on the floor.

Sometimes when I would get home late
His eyes were shining in the night
And his vigil at the window
Always made everything right.

I loved him oh so very much
My bestest boy, my family…
I loved him as well as I could
And always held him close to me.
I knew someday he would be gone
But God, he went too soon!
I only hope he did not suffer
And remembered all my love.

I still look out the door for him;
Imagine his little trills as he ran…
What I wouldn't give to hold him
And see those beautiful eyes again.

I miss you little Leo…
I love you FOREVER.

Arnold R. Warren

A beautiful blue brindle boy who brought us so much joy.

Lori & Mike May

LEO YOU ARE SADLY MISSED SO MUCH!

Renee & George

We love you forever LeeLee. You were a good boy. Thank you for making the decision for us.

Laura and Bill Olejarz

For our little Leo. We have been together for 10 years so it is no surprise that your passing has left a hole in both of our hearts. I look for you every morning and every meal time, your dad is taking this especially hard. I do not know if I will ever get over this I feel like it is hard to breathe I miss you so. Some would say you were just an animal, but you were so much more: you were silent comfort when I needed it you provided unconditional love,and you were so cute and funny, and you loved us and we loved you. God decided to take you from us and this I do not fully understand, but I will find comfort in my belief that god loves all things big and small and your place is in heaven now and one day you will be one of the familiar faces to welcome us to heaven. You will always be loved and never forgotten. GOD BLESS AND GOODBYE FOR NOW.

Carolina Sprinkle

Our sweet Leon - you are so deeply missed.
There will NEVER be another dog like you and that is part of what make us so sad.
You had a personality like no other.
You were the sweetest dog ever put on this earth.
Though you had become more frail and less agile in your older age, I still remember your younger days when you had boundless energy.
I will miss playing ball with you, you jumping in the bed, watching you lounging in the pool on your raft with your toys, you being the referree between Sadie and Henry, and the list goes on.
You were my only baby for so many years before Clay came along.
I am so sorry that he is too young to remember you, but I am forever grateful for your gentleness in letting him climb on you and lay on you and sit on you and you never flinched.
Some people say that there are no animals in Heaven but I believe differently.
I believe that God will have you and all of the other special creatures waiting for us in Heaven and I cannot wait to see you again.
I will miss you forever and love you always.

Our longtime companion, surrogate child, and cat of a thousand nicknames (but never Leo) - Leopold J. Honey-Bunny - passed away on July 17, 2008. He met many interesting people and got to live in several beautiful cities (Portland, OR; Charlottesville, VA; Buffalo, NY; Stratford, Ontario, but he didn't survive to welcome the first guests at the B&B we're opening (still working on the renovations).

I've created a little memorial slide show of his life:

Leroy was my best friend, my anchor for 14 years.
He was always loving, frequently annoying, a hell-raiser, a charmer.
He had such a strong personality that everyone was drawn to him.
He was a Utah cat and we also enjoyed a cross country trip for our move to NYC in 2003, with his brother Sammy, who died in 2005, and his other brother Peter, who is with me now.
Peter is missing Leroy, as well.
Leroy, I love you dearly and miss you, have fun chasing birds and playing with others-I will meet you one day on the Rainbow Bridge.

Laurie Rice

HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR
My best friend closed his eyes last night,

As his head was in my hand.
The Doctors said he was in pain,

And it was hard for him to stand.

The thoughts that scurried through my head,

As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,

And OH...his many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge

With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart thats filled with tears

Remembering our joy filled days.

But an Angel just appeared to me,

And he said, "You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,

HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!

To my babies whom we love and miss so much. Leroy was the love of my life...so gentle and kind and loved to be held and his belly rubbed. He had the biggest brown eyes you've ever seen. Lacy was such a doll. She walked my son to and from the bus everyday. She guarded our home so very well she was such an angel. Until we meet again my loves, until we meet again. You are forever missed...please watch over our family and guard us from any harm. We Love You Both so much.

Andrea Miley

Leroy saved my life and received recognition for doing so. Then the anemia came. Doctors said he wouldn't make it through the night but he gave us 4 more glorious filled years. At the first signs of suffering, I let him go. My life will never be the same from having the chance to love him and be loved by him. He was an amazing animal. God willing, I will see him on the other side. Rest in peace, Leroy. I love you so much.

Allyson, Bob, Laura, and Jill

We loved our 'wulef' very much. He was the best friend and furbaby to be had, and we will keep him with us forever. It doesn't even feel like he's gone ... because he isn't.

Marcy, Jason, Rowyn, Keagan, Eirinn and Rory Shortuse

We will miss you old man. You were the best cat ever.

Jennifer & Bill

Our hearts are broken and life is empty for the recent loss of our beloved Levi...He was the most awesome dog who never knew he was a dog--only believed he was our baby! The tears won't stop and the pain won't dull --We only hope that he is running free and playing tirelessly with his friends. Levi, we miss you so much 'handsome man' and will love you forever!! We know 'you are still here'!! Here's 'kissy face' kisses for you and we hope you finally catch 'Hammy' so you both can play! We will always be together 'Booty' and you will always be our 'cutie putootie' boy! 'Sleepy nite-nite little man, and know your mommies will be holding you close!!

Jayne and Michelle

In loving memory of my beloved Levi.
We only had you for 4 years, but it felt like a lifetime to us and you made our small family complete.
You will forever be in my heart.
I miss you!

My precious Son was murdered on January 23rd 2008 and my beloved faithful companion-Levi left me to look after David 9 days later. I am devastated.

Laraine Ward

Levi was a very special dog.I know everyone says that ,but I dont know how else to describe him.He was rescued from a good home and never looked back.Levi loved watching t.v and just hanging out with the family.People from all over the u.s.a are calling in to express their grief.He was so smart,strong,and well behaved.You could leave your steak dinner right next to him and leave the room,but he would not eat it unless you gave it to him!Very strange.I have never met another dog that would do that.My mother does not really like dogs,but she would feed Levi from the table.She would also give me bags of chicken,beef,ect. to take home for him marked Chicken for Levi.Is that not love?I mean we are talking about a women who is not fond of dogs.He was fine,and then a week ago he started getting BAD grand mal seisures.We had him on PB,but the stress to his body was too much for him.I miss him SOOOO MUCH!I am crying like a little kid non stop!If anyone reading this has a little buddy that they love hold them tight and give them some extra loving tonight.They need it and deserve it.Goodby my one true friend you will NEVER EVER be forgotten.Love keith

Lewis was so very special and loved by all. He was a joy when with us and we look forward to seeing him again. We will miss you so very much Lewis, you are always in our hearts.

Barry, Debra, Samantha, Jennifer and Christopher

Lewis was an exceptional cat, very sweet, easy going, playful, and rarely ever meowed but spoke with his eyes and mannerisms.
Lewis was not a graceful cat which made him all the more loveable. He would carefully study and rock back and forth preparing to jump from a sofa to a table that covered the distance of a foot. Lewis would run thru the house and as he turned corners he would run up the wall a foot or so to make the turn. Other times if Lewis was running on tile he would slip and slide into the wall and then just continue on running after a play mate or one of us.
Lewis would sleep with us and he had a routine of when he saw me get into bed he would climb on my chest and I would pet him and run his ears and chin, he then later would roll on his back next to me and fall asleep.
We also had a green brush that he just loved. Whenever he saw the brush he would come running and we would brush his head, back, chin, ears, he just loved it so much and I place it with him and wrap his paws around it next to his chin when I buried him.
I think I could fill a book about Lewis’s short life (11/11/05 – 05/11/08), his passing has been very difficult for me, not a day has passed yet that I don’t tear up or completely break down but sharing on this site and the people on the site has been so caring, understanding.

Jim Bassett

Ohhhhhhhhhhh Burgie, three years have passed and i still miss you a ton. My boy, my most loyal friend i had in the world. How my heart broke to come home and found out you jumped threw the window after a horse and was killed by a car.The neighbor said you didnt have a chance .. I always new i couldnt chain you down..I tried everything to keep you from roaming..20 acres just wasnt enough. I cried so hard for you. To only be able to touch your silky ears again..to kiss the little scar on your nose. I have not forgotten you, and talk to you often. I know you are still protecting me from Heaven.Wait for me my love. Three years has gone by so fast. I know I will see you again. I love you Louie forever. Love your Mom



Baby Boy,
It has been four days now and the pain in unbearable.
I love you and will be setting up a memorial for you at Rainbow Bridge.
You are my puppy dog and even though you are not with me on this earth you will never leave me in my heart.
These past 8 1/2 years have been special as you were always by my side and provided comfort and happiness every moment of every day.
You were always so healthy that I had hopes of you living past the normal lifespan of 8 to 10 years.
Then suddenly just before Christmas the degenerative arthritis started attacking your body.
I remember seeing you stumble on the last step coming into the den and hoping that it was nothing to worry about. The last two months you were strong as this disease slowly took over your body.
I did everything I knew how to help you.
It made me so happy that you were still able to walk with the K-9 cart after your rear legs became paralyzed.
I hoped that you would be with me this summer as I worked in the yard, following me like you always did. Now the yard and house are so big and empty. Changing the den floor from carpet to ceramic tile so that we could take care of you and keep you clean when you could not control your bowel movements is something that I will see every day when I get up or go home. I am trying to look at the den as the place where we lived and spent most of our time together and it was a happy place.
The couch was ours and your would let me know to move and let you have your spot.
You claimed that spot at 8 weeks old when Blake brought you home and you came down the stairs, jumped up on the couch with me and we began our relationship which will be forever.
Your body will be cremated and it will be a week before you are returned to me.
I have told Blake and Kelley that I want you to be buried with me when I die.
We will be together forever but more importantly than the physical bodies I will meet you again at the Rainbow Bridge. I am proud of how strong you remained and that the final day of your life,you were strong and able to stand yourself up on your front legs.
When you would not eat on Wednesday I knew that you were close to letting it go.
I went to work on Thursday and came home to check on your after an hour like I have been doing.
I knew when you struggled to move that the time was near so I went to the vet to check on cremation arrangements. I am so happy that you still reacted to the sound of my voice.
I had to go back to take care of some work matters and was going to put you on your spot on the couch when I returned but you went to Rainbow Bridge after I left.
Were you sparing me the pain of being with you at that moment?
I had been gone two hours and wish now that I had stayed with you. All of the other memories are good ones.
I miss you more than I ever thought I could miss anyone. You will never leave my thoughts and I will be contacting you when I set up your memorial on Rainbow Bridge.
Until then just watch over me and Blake as we talk to you daily.

Jerry and Blake

I got Lexi 3 months ago from a total and complete stranger. When we got her she was covered in fleas and her belly was swollen. We took her home got the fleas off her and wormed her. On 12-11-08 she became very sick. She was vomiting and could not hold nothing down.12-12-08 she started to become dehydrated and We took her to the vet for further help! Come to find out our Lexi had dehydrated over 12% and Dr. Dixon admited her into ICU. Today, 12-15-08 our Lexi passed away.
She had a buldged bowl from where her previous owner had abused her.

Lexi you were our bright and shining star. God let you live long enough to show you that not all people are mean and people do love animals. He let you see what love felt like because you did not know until you met us! We love you Lexi and there is not a second that goes by that we do not think of you and your sweet, precious ways!
WE LOVE YOU!

Brandy Peace

We love you and we miss you!

Frank Melissa Austen Amanda and Connor Hegedus

My Little Lexi,
I miss you so much. You saved me when I felt hopeless. People told me that Barr sent you to me. But if that's true, why were you gone after just a year and four months? I think of you all the time. You were so sweet, so loving. and so giving. Everyone loved you, and I'll never get over coming home and finding you dead. I love you so much. I help with a rescue organization, and I have Lulu and Romeo now, but I still think of you all the time. I remember how you wiggled whenever I came home. And how you would chase the big dogs around the lawn. I love you, my little Lexi.
Mommy

Lexi didn't have a lot of chances in this world.
I adopted her in Nov 07, No one told me about her Seperation Anxiety.
I tried my best to deal, in a loving way to show Lexi, you are wanted and I will always love you.
She became so destructive that alot of things in my house I had to replace.
I felt she needed a family that could be with her 24/7, this is where I feel I made a mistake.
I took her to a local animal shelter, and they assured me they find her a home.
After 3 weeks there, and I was calling each week to check on her, the told me they put her down.
I am so sorry Lexi, I never knew, and did not want that to happen.
Your Mommy

Lexi,
We miss you so much.
Our lives and home will never the same without you, but at least you are resting comfortably and can nap in the sun all day, just as have always loved to do.
We nicknamed you our "Cat Terrier", because you would lounge around the house just like a cat.
If only you had not crossed paths with the coyote.
If only we were by your side to scare it away.
If only you were big enough to fight back.
If only the moment in time could have been different, we would be waking up with you every morning around 6:00 am.
And you would be waiting at the back door every evening for Mom to arrive.
And we can't forget how you so loved to chase after your ball and frisbee and your rope.
You loved to throw your rope around, except when you swung it too fast and it hit in the head.
You were so athletic and super fast.
If only you had not been startled, perhaps you could have run to the porch for safety.
We are so sorry Lexi for not being there at that moment to protect you.
We are only glad that you are now out of pain and are watching down over us as we eat dinner, as you did everyday.
We know you are sitting there patiently hoping for that one piece of food to hit the ground.
But, you won't just grab it.
You will be polite and wait for approval to eat it from Dad.
If he doesn't approve, you will leave it like a good girl.
Lexi, you were so smart and the sweetest soul we have ever met.
Rest in peace our sweet, sweet little dog…

Linda, David, Michael & Kayla

My sweetest love, my guardian, my love, my life, my Lexi.

Jessie

Lexi,

I know you had a hard time with this world, but Mommy loved you for you!
Please go onto another life and be happy in your world!
I hope you will wait at the Bridge for me, but if you want to wait for Kris, that is alright too.

I will always love you!

Mommy

Lexi was a sweet, happy, people-pleasing lab.
She brought our entire family great joy.
We will miss her and we love her and we know she is already running around doggie-heaven with a tennis ball in her mouth!
We love you, Lexi.

Renee F. Black

My wee Lexie she was only here for three weeks but she had three weeks love and hope that she would pull through, alas it was not to be. Although we did not have her long she left a big space in our heart when she went. Love you always my wee darling Lexie

Rachel Peebles

Rest in peace baby girl--We feel so bad losing you-It couldn't be helped sweety pie-we will always remember what joy you brought to our home-missing your crazy upside down self...

Monica & Mike Feltes

Lexie got lymphnoma 13 months ago. She went thru 6 months of chemotherapy and did very well. It cost several thousand dollars, but it was worth it because it gave me another year with my "Little Girl". She layed at my side everywhere I went (bathroom, shower, cooking, on the computer, sitting on the porch, sleeping, and etc. We had our routine and she knew it and usually led the way. I miss her love and companionship that she gave me for 12+ years.

Lexie, German Shepherd Dog
12/21/96 - 04/14/08
My beloved Girlie, you were the bestest dog in the world, and we were so blessed to have you. I will so miss your smiling face whenever I return home.
We take comfort that now you have crossed Rainbow Bridge you are with your beloved friend Dick Singer and neither of you are sick any longer. I remember one day when you were outside you raced to the retaining wall to bark at a jogger.
I went outside to scold you when the jogger paused and said, "Lady, you don't need to yell at your dog, she never leaves the yard."
You have left our yard but you will never leave our hearts.
Your Mommy Cindy, Brother Pher, Auntie San and your new friend Forrest, who tried so hard to make you feel better during your last days.

Cynthia L Jacobsen

Lexie,

My little poodah bear.
I have cried so many tears over your passing and my heart has a void from losing you.
I asked God last night to give me a sign that you are alright and he did.
I know that your spirit was born again into Agnus' third born female and I can't wait to see you Thursday.
We will have a long and healthy life this time and I thank God for sending you back to me.

Love,

Mom

Yvonne Goldman

In honor of this wonderful dog, that I acquired as a Senior Rescue at the age of 8, she came to me as a retired K-9 officer with Hip Dysplasia, and lots of wisdom.
She will be missed beyond belief, but I know that she is once again running free, and without pain, and deserving of the life she now has. She left behind her "sister" Hannah, another Senior Rottie Rescue, and her little "brother" Zippy,a young kitten that I recently adopted.
We love you Lexie!

Sharon Warren

Hey Lexie I am sorry it took me so long to make you a tribute.
You got your big sister with you now.
Show her the ropes and make sure you guys watch out for each other.
Please look over mom and make sure that she is ok.
She misses you two so much her heart is broken.
Adam and I will do our parts down here but we need your additional boost to get her through this.
We miss your cute little puppy face and all your "babies" that you used to carry around with you.
You were so cute!! I love you and will see you again some day!!

Danielle Goldglantz

Lexus(CH Windsor's Truth Serum), there isn't a day that goes by that we do not think of you.
We have your granddaughter,Lotus(Windsor's Belle Star),so that we will always have a part of you with us! We LOVE and MISS you so much!

Monciela & Tom Vlahos

This is posted for my brother, Todd Evans who lost his beloved Lexus earlier this year. She is at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for her brother, Maxim (Max) who will be joining her soon, he has bone cancer. I pray will give them joy in being back together and look over their Dad, Todd in helping him learn to live without them. They are his only kids and the loss will be hard. Lexus and soon Max bring God's loving Grace and protection to all animal friends and to those like Todd who are still this side of the Rainbow Bridge. Likewise, to my dogs, Tawni and Kelsey who are waiting for us. We think of you everyday.

God Bless to all of them.

Janet Evans Webb

A wonderful companion!
She listened and hung on to my every word.
She'd sit and snuggle with me. She always loved me - and me, her.

We were so blessed to have Lexy in our lives for 9 years.
She overcame cancer at the age of 1 twice.
She had to live with only 3 legs after the second battle with cancer and did wonderfully.
She was always there to greet us with an toy in her mouth, or whatever else she could find wagging that tail.
She was an beautiful golden with an personality that no other can match.
She gave us so much love no matter what.
Our kids said if they had a wishing star they would wish her back home.
Lexy you are one of a kind.
My heart aches thinking of you, I know one day we will meet again.
Thank you for being the bestest girl ever.
You will always be in our hearts and always be missed.
We all love you.
Mommy, Daddy, Jenna and Jordan

Dear Lexy,

I miss you so much and wish I could be with you again! I will NEVER forget you. You are my angel in heaven :) I love you so much forever !!

Lindsay Conner

Godbless you Lexy, I love and miss you very much. Thank You for all the love and compassion you gave so unconditionally. You were always by my side when I was sad, angry, or just feeling alone. My heart is broken as I have lost me best friend and do not know if it will ever heal. I will see you in Heaven my friend. I miss you.

The house and my heart are empty and broken, what will I ever do without you here. I love and miss you so so very much. xx

I found Libby in a pound in the mountains of Kentucky. She was this 3 month old little white ball of fluff in a huge dog run. She was scared to death of her own shadow. She stole my heart immediately. I thought she looked like a Husky, so I named her after the first female winner of the Iditarod. When I took her for her first vet visit, the vet was positive Libby was actually an Australian Cattle Dog. He was so positive of this fact that I gathered he knew who the former owner had been.

I knew nothing of cattle dogs so as soon as we got home, I started googling. I also googled in search of advice on dealing with a very shy dog. About cattle dogs, I learned that they are exceptionally smart, aloof, and that a "bored cattle dog is a destructive cattle dog". About shy dogs, I discovered an email list of folks who taught me how to use desensitization techniques to help Libby learn to cope better. With work and time, we were able to help Libby function better in most situations but she would maintain a fear of strangers, children, and men to the end.

Libby's favorite toys were balls and stuffed things. She loved tennis balls from which she would methodically pull off the fuzz. She loved to find baseballs when we walked by ball fields. She would remove the leather covering and then dissemble the insides. Stuffed toys were especially fun--to destuff! She also got a thrill out of turning the newspaper into confetti and confetti-ing the apartment! Once, I bought a Buster Cube which is a plastic dice shaped toy into which kibble is put and as the dog flips the cube a certain number of times, a piece of kibble comes out. Sabastian would do all the work while Libby stayed strategically positioned. As soon as a piece of kibble came out, Libby would spring and get it before poor Sabastian could get the reward for his labor.

Libby loved the snow. She especially loved snow banks. She would dive in head first until all you could see was her tail wagging up a storm on one side of the bank and on the other side of the bank snow popping up on the outside from where her nose was pushing up from underneath. She absolutely loved playing in the snow.

Libby's relations with children was an interesting one. When we lived with my friend Neeny in her two level townhouse in Centreville, Virginia, Libby found a spot on the stairs where she would watch the neighborhood children out the landing window. She would sit there, her butt on one stair, her front feet on the one below and stare out the window as the children walked to the bus stop or played at the playground across the street. One morning, she was very aggegated--either Neeny or I had put the window blind down and Libby could not see the children. She whined and paced from one bedroom to the other until I got up and figured out what the problem was--she wanted the blind up! Once I did that, she settled into her spot and happily watched the children go off to school. Now, mind you, she would not allow any of those children to touch her, but she wanted to watch them!
Neeny's three godchildren spent the weekends with her. This concerned me when I first moved in with Libby because of Libby's fear of children. Of the three, I thought the biggest problem was going to be Sam. Sam was a six-year-old with allot of hurt inside and was "all boy" on the outside. I foresaw disaster. I couldn't have been more wrong. Libby saw right past the outward bluster right to the wounded-heart on the inside and fell in love with Sam. In very short order, they were best of friends. Libby would steal his underwear (dirty or clean she could still find his in a pile of laundry) and take it to her sleeping spot and lay on them. Libby may very well have made a great therapy dog but would never have gotten certified because of her fear issues.

Libby's cattle dog willfulness would come to the forefront at times. If she got lose, she wanted to play "catch me if you can" -- never letting me out of her sight but staying just out of reach as well. Once, we had gone to a wooded area to let the dogs run figuring that she would get tired and come back after the walk. Well, it takes allot to get a cattle dog tired enough to call it quits. She didn't want to get back in the car! We ended up driving up and down a little traveled road with her chasing behind until she was finally exhausted enough to let me put her in the car! It was frustrating and scary but at the same time, I could see that she was having the time of her life! It's not easy outsmarting a cattle dog!

Tina

Go with God, Libby ~ You were an incredibly beloved member of our family and will always be cherished & missed until we are together again; until then, you're safe in our hearts.
You were a promise made and a promise kept!

Brenda S. Adams

Of all the humans in the world, we were the lucky ones to have been your humans. The cancer took you so fast. I hope you know your pawprints are on our hearts forever and that we did our best to make your last days & weeks on earth happy ones.

Deb & David and Gretchen

Miss Libtress layed by my side while I recovered
from cancer. She always knew when I needed a kiss. When a grandchild entered our lives, Libby took it all in stride. Loving and protecting him as part of the family. When her own illness became too much for her to over come I did not want her to suffer. It was time for Libby to go to the Rainbow Bridge . Forever in our hearts
Waiting to be together again.

John and Sandy Gostkowski

Libby was a precious cat and, she was loved by everyone in our family.

Dana Moseley

To: Libby Leigh Daglanto

I had the pleasure of your company for 21 years. You brought joy and excitement into my life. You also were "Libby Leight Ground patrol" for those who should not be here. You passed on April 10, 2008 into a place where you will be with all your friends that you loved. God love you and take care of your soul until it is time for me to meet with all of you again.

Namaste

Donna Daqulanto Jarmel

Baby girl, your Momma (Cindy) loves you so much...and she is missing you so....I know you are free and so does she..we will see you again in time.

Love you so much,

Auntie Margaret

My little LibbyDog will forever have a place in my heart. She was not the smartest or the most graceful but she was MY baby girl. The place she always claimed next to me is so empty; I reach for her every night. I know that she is no longer suffering and waiting for me when I cross that bridge. What a reunion that will be. But for right now, my heart is broken.

Janne Swearengen

Libby will forever be missed by our family. Her constant companion , Lucy, still seems to always search the house for her.
When Libby did not return from our vet on the day she became extremely ill and died, Lucy began her vigil and her search for Libby consisted of running from window to window and room to room constantly calling for her.
Lucy still wakes up from a nap screaming and in our hearts we know it is Libby that she yearns for.
We miss her now and always.

Patty and Dennis Magyar

Our sweet Liberty, you left us so soon!

We'll miss you so! Bless you until we meet again.
Goodbye angel girl.
Love Mom, Dad, Presley and Ozzie.

She came as a rescue and was my angel boxer girl-always there to make me feel better. Miss you Lib-Lib. Wish you were here for me to hug.

Nadine

We love you, Libby, and miss you.
We know you're in Heaven now and we can't wait to see you up there.
We love you always and forever,
-Mama, Papa, Jack, and Lulu

liberty was the greatest dog anyone could ask for. She always made me laugh when I was sad and happy whenI was mad. Its hard comming home to no loud barking. I'm really going to miss her and it doesn't feel like I lost a fog it feels like a best friend.

Nathaly Torres

We will miss your sweetness "Scoobs". Your "happy tail" will be missed forever. Ten years was not long enough -- we love you and will all be together someday.
Love, Mama & Dad

Libra was the most gentle, loving and dedicated companion I have been privileged to share my life with.
He was incredibly intelligent with an excellent, well-developed sense of humor and a zest for life that was a joy to behold.
Tears are streaming down my cheeks as I write this 'cause I miss him so much.
It has been a little over a year now since he crossed the Rainbow Bridge and yet I grieve for him still as if it was just yesterday that I lost him.
Now I have been pretty much a pragmatic person all my life, especially about the kind of experiences I have been having since he passed on.
That is to say that Libra's sweet spirit comes for a "visit" every now and then and blows my mind.
For example....recently I was sitting on my bed reading when it (the bed) started shaking as if he were vigorously scratching himself.
In fact when I turned to tell him to "knock it off" I was surprised that he wasn't there.
Even though a moment later the shaking stopped I continued to feel his presence the remainder of the evening.
I feel so very honored that he comes for these visits and blessed by his sweet soul.

Thank you for reading this tribute, I only wish that you could have had the experience of meeting my beloved Libra.

Paul Laxineta

Our yellow lab went to doggy heaven Feb. 16th 2008.
He was 14 1/2 years old.
His name was LIEBE.
Liebe means "LOVE" in German.
He definately brought us 14 years of love and devotion.
He will be greatly missed.
We love you Liebe! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
Love, Kim, Ralph, Morgan and Madison

My beautiful Liesl was sent away over five months ago. She was a gorgeous dappled doxie with the sweetest personality and softest ears.
Unfortunately her back gave out in February. Liesl bravely underwent two spinal surgeries in less than one week. She came home to us full of promise and love.
Three months later her poor back gave out again.
Her pain was great as was ours and it was with a heavy heart that we let her go.
Not a day passes that we do not grieve for her.
We hope that she is somewhere pain-free right now running with the wind in her face and waiting to see us.
We love you Liesl.

Barbara

Lightning had a long hard life.
He was a good boy who loved everyone that came into his life.
We got him when he was almost a year old because the owner found out that he had epilepsy and did not want him anymore.
We loved him we all of our hearts and miss him very much :(

Sharon Ketelhut

Lightning was my very first cat and gave me much joy.
He was so mellow and just the perfect companion. He was with me through thick and thin and gave me comfort and never-ending love. I will always cherish my years spent with him.

Judith Crown

to one of our family members that will be sorely missed.

love the family

DearLightning,
You were such a wonderful cat.I remember the day we brought you home,you were so tiny.You grew up with me and moved with us so many times. You were always so gentle and sweet,so mellow,so loving.You fought cancer and renial failure,but ultimately passed due to anemia.I wish there was more grandma or I could have done for you.I was very sad when I moved out,I missed you horribly,now I am mourning you again.Grandma kept you going for over a year with your fluids,special foods and wonderful care.I know you are at peace now,playing with Ashley,Smokey and Cleo.I will see you one day,but until then just know how much you were loved and how missed you will be.
We will always love you bubbs.

Sarah

My beautiful boy, you went too soon.
Just as you did everyday, I will be filled with gratitude with the way you loved me.
You brought so much joy to my life - you traveled so far to get to me - you were so sick when I got you - I hope I was as comforting to you as you were to me.
I love you everyday, Beau-Beau -

Veronica

Mu husband will classify Lil Bit as the little dog that the qind blew over.
This is because she was so small when we got her that the wind literally would blow her over.
To me she was and is my soulmate if people and animals can be soulmates.
I have lost family members over the past 7 years that was really tough losses but the passing of Lil Bit was even harder to deal with than my own mother whom I loved dearly.
Why I've had such a hard time with this is that I'm sure God is trying to teach me something that is meant to be valuable to me and me alone.
I'll sure be glad when I know what that is, so I can move on.

Kathy Pope

Run, play and be at peace my sweet Lil Bit.
I will always love you and always miss you.
I am so sorry that I could not make it better.
We had a great six years and you were a great little dog.
Missing you always!
Sherri

Lil Kitty,
I found you this afternoon and tried to save you. You were so sick. You did eat some kitten milk and some antibiotic but when you died in my hands it was more than I could handle. You know I just cradled you and cried. Our churchill, my Sister and brother in laws kitty and my Mom and Dads doggie Charcoal will be waiting for you at the Bridge. Play and enjoy yourself there, you had no chance here. I know you were a ferel kitty but that didn't matter, you were still special. I know you'll cross over with me someday and then we'll get to know each other better.
Love you...Susie

Lil Man, I am so sorry I did not even realize you were suffering.
I took you to the vet for a simple surgery that is done everyday.
I am so sorry. I loved you and everyone who knew you loved you too.

Alma

I dedicate this to Miss Witty, my little angel.
I thank you for being in my life, even if for only 12 short years.
You brought such joy and companionship.
You were such a sensitive and thoughtful little soul.
There will never be another cat like you.
I love you.
I miss you.
I will never forget you.
I hope to see you again someday.

Cherilyn and Matthew

Scrap was a rescue dog; I found him in the dead of winter; no shelter-food or water for days; I sent my daughter to get him; we had him for about a year. I was never fond of the breed; however he proved me wrong; big baby(would sit on my lap when I would sit in my easy chair) friendly, happy and well trained. He loved to jump the fence and cruise the neighborhood; had to put him on chain while he was outside; got tired of hunting him down. He also slept in bed with me and my little sheltie and a kitten. He is missed by my family and friends.

Terri Maddox

Lil Sweetheart - you were with me such a short time, but you stole my heart.
Be well, be happy.
I love you and I miss you.
Mom.

lila was an extremely lovable pet with aspecial quality of forgiveness for all the hurt she had ebdured before being our rsident love. she was hard raced for 285 races always gave here best with little reward after she came home with us while walking ao leash she was attacked by a local unleashed german shepherd and required two operations. she healed and never held agrudge. she developed many enduring features one of which was featured by anderson in his marmaduke cartoon it was her evening lullaby and petting session.

William Hibel

To my best friend: I will miss you more than you know and I cannot wait until the day we can be together again.

Dana Johnson

"a good death was not about when or how; it was about knowing love. This comforted me greatly, because, for all my mistakes, my cats did know love." - author unknown

May you remember the huge family that loved you so much.
You gave me a lot of years of consistent love and devotion - I can only hope you find rest now, "momma's grumpy old man"......Mommy misses you already.
Rest.

Lili was the bravest, feistiest, most beautiful, softest, furry girl ever.
She had diabetes for almost two years and after eating would jump up on the kitchen table for her insulin shot...she knew it would make her feel better, but at the end she couldn't jump, could only lay there with my hand on her side, very tired, ready to go home.
She had lots of nicknames
Lili Marlene, Little Lili, Breakfast on her Chin, YiYi, Yianne, Pony Girl, Mrs. Mips, L'il Pups.
I think Yianne was my favorite nickname.
Lili loved footstools and ottomans of any kind and picked her friends carefully, although really there was no rhyme or reason why she loved some more than others.
She loved me most.
I loved her most.
She was my baby girl and yesterday was the first time in 12 1/2 years that I was alone in my house.
She was always here to welcome me back from where ever I traveled, near or far, for groceries and from vacations, she was always here.
I miss her as if I've lost a limb, as if I've lost my heart.
I will love and miss her as long as I live.

Charlotte Melleno

Lili was the angel of our life.
She was a beautiful piebald mini dachshund. Lili, although very small, had a huge presence and loved everyone, and they loved her.
She has a sister Lola who is so confused and lost, she has never spent a day without her sister/friend.
We are heartbroken and confused, but we know she is free of physical limitations and discomfort.
We loved her so much!

Lili, we will see you again!
Love, momma char, momma ellen and lola

Such a beautiful baby dog, missed so much,life is just not the same without you. I hope you are happy sweetheart. Mammy misses you.

Dear Lili, we miss you so much. You were the sunshine in our home and our hearts since we adopted you 4 months ago. Nothing will reemplace all the love you gave us. We hope you didn't suffer and will always love you.
You will be in our hearts forever

Marie-Jose Margaux, Maxime Jean-Marc

Lili, You were the sweetest and most greatful dog I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. How you could be so wonderful to all who met you, after the terible start you got in life, it never ceases to amaze me, that you were never mean or cruel to another living being. You were so mellow and taught all the other rescues and fosters and youngsters, how to behave and you are sorely missed. You'll stay in our hearts forever and we hope you found Fritz & Goliath waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, we will all meet there again some day and I can hardly wait to get on the ground and get lots of sloppy, yet yummy kisses from you all, then we can all pass on to the next step. You've taught me patience and kindness and for that I am eternally greatful. Keep those boys in line, my sweet girl and I'll keep the other 5 still with me here in line as best I can. (I have to admit, they learned better from you, than me)We Love You and Miss You,
Mom, Daddy and Alexis and all the fur balls

Lil, I will miss you every single day for the rest of my life.
You brought absolute joy and peace to my life and I feel lost without you.
You came into our lives without warning and left them the same way.

What a gift you were to us all.

Thank you, Sis, for loving me, for loving us and for watching over us and giving our lives more joy and friendship than we ever expected.

Dad misses your morning kisses and you poking him with your squeaker.
Grandma and Zach miss you, too.
I just miss every single thing about you.

My Dad will take good care of you.
You take good care of him, too.

Love,
Mom

My beautiful Siamese boy was hit by a car Wednesday night and I miss him so much. He started out being very fragile but I managed to nurse him into a healthy, beautiful cat with all the love and I care I could give him.
Fisen - you passed way too soon and I miss you dearly! It seems so unfair to take a young cat like that and your babysister misses you! I hope you're healed where you are now and I hope that one day we will meet again.
Until then - thank you for the 8 months of laughter, love and care you gave me. You will NEVER be forgotten!

Birgitte

I said goodbye to you today Lilli and I want to tell you again that I love you with all my heart and will love you forever. I am so very sorry that I could not prevert your death and I am deeply saddened in losing you. As your mom, I continued to hope I could keep you with me forever. You were very gracious Lilli and I hope you left peacefully.
You appeared content except for the few whimpers you made.
I hope you were not in any pain.
I am so glad you chose me.
I will miss you forever my beautiful girl.
Rest now, join your brothers and sisters, cuddle with Kirkland and Sylvester and always keep my love with you.

Kathy Buehler

Lilli - When we adopted you ten years ago, you made our house complete.
We will love you for the rest of our lives and cannot wait to see you again one day.
We miss you terribly and are angry that you were taken away from us so prematurely.
Our house is not the same without you .....our grief is overwhelming.

We hope you are in a better place and are happy, healthy and whole again.
We all miss you and love you.
Be happy my little baby -

Justin, Patti & Christopher

We love you and you will always be with us.

Ruby and Doug

Lilly, you were a sweet, innocent little guinea pig and we loved you very much.
We miss your little whistles and jumps and your quiet clicking sound when you were happy.
You passed too soon, and we didn't get to have you as long as we expected, but I hope we loved you enough while we had you.
Rest in peace.

Laura Betts

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Laura Facciolo

To call Lilly extraordinary doesn't nearly capture her feisty spirit, beauty, clever mind and love of fun - and she found fun in everything.

Lilly was a dear, sweet kitty who generously crossed my path in this lifetime. I'll spend the rest of my lifetime thinking of her, thanking her and missing her.

She will be remembered by her pal, Chester, and her people Harrison, Elizabeth, and Kate.

Lilly Girl, oh how we will miss you.
You were such a sweet, loving, funny, wonderful dog.
We love you so much.
You were the most incredible friend for Matthew and Olivia.
We will never, ever forget you.
Everywhere we took you people would notice your beauty and gentleness. We will miss seeing you in your spots around the house, seeing you laying flat on your back and wiping your snout with your paws, those gorgeous, bright eyes, the way you chewed your popcorn, your faithfulness, your loyalty, your love, the way you laid on the cool tile floor on your tummy with your legs straight out behind you.

Thank you, Lilly girl, for coming into our lives and joining our family.
We rescued you two years ago and I hope that you had two great years with us.
Your brother, Sam, already misses you terribly.
You only went to heaven today and he knows it.
I know you will watch over him and all of us.

I know that you have now met Prince and Belle.
I hope y'all are having fun playing together.
Sam will be mighty lonely down here:)

Just know, Lilly girl, that you were very wanted and very loved.
You showed my young children unconditional love.
You gave them a friend when they needed one.
None of us will ever forget you and we will forever love and miss you.

You'll always be my Lilly girl.
xoxoxo

Shelly

This tribute is for my Lilly. I put her to sleep yesterday.My heart is broken.I bought Lilly on the heals of Empty Nest the house seemed so quiet.Lilly was 2 lbs at birth. She had a personality more like a cat. She could be aloof and was everyones favorite probably because she was the runt. she fit in the palm of my hand when I brought her home. I never imagined life without Lilly.You just take it for granted. She got sick a year ago.I wouldn't let her go but yesterday I knew I had to say goodbye to my Lilgirl.I stayed with her till she passed away and told her how much I loved her. God Bless you My Lillygirl. Rest in Peace Love Mommy

Chris and Mark

lilly was cripple for 4 years and then the pain began to make her cryout. all these years, I thought that she needed me. It was I that needed her more. my side kick is gone along with my joy. i feel like my guts have been ripped-out. I feel Like I'm in a different world now. I am thankful to GOD that he gave me such an angel and trust that someday I will see her again.

Craig Gartman

Oh babygirl, I miss you so much already.
There is a hole in my heart that will never be filled until I see you again.
You were the best dog I could have ever asked for.
Thank you for all the laughs you gave me and all the joy you brought to my life.
I will never forget you.
You will always be in my mind and my heart. I love you Bug

Christina Sowers

Baby Sis, you were always my favorite.
You know that I loved you since the day you came into our lives.
I named you after my mom and my grandmother so that I could keep you.
Dad said that I couldn't have anymore animals.
He gave in and fell in love with you just as much as I did.
We had so many names for you, milson, sausage, millie, millie-bill, lillson and many more.
You came to them all.
You had a very unique way of getting anyones attention, you snorted and sighed until someone looked at you or gave you a treat.
You will be missed by all of our friends and family.
Your wagging tail was so inviting and when you didn't wag it anymore I knew it was time to let you go.
Your brother Steven will miss calling your name whenever he comes into the house and he will miss your stinky kisses. Your sister Janet loved you too.
Joey, Nathan, Miranda and Bri loved you too and they are going to miss your kisses too.
Jenny-lin and Reggie knew that you were sick and left you alone as much as they could, but they miss you too.
I am so glad that you are now out of pain and back to your sausage weight.
Mom loves you very much and we will see you again someday over the Rainbow Bridge.
Say Hi to meechi and reggie and sauri.
You will always be in my heart.
I love you.

Ron and Linda Wiley

Lilly Rose was a stray feral that I would feed all the time.
When I went to feed her one evening,someone had injured her eye.
Took her to the vet and the eye was injured beyond repair.
Took her home as she would have never survived the elements with sight in only one eye.
I have had the wonderful joy of spending the last 2 yrs with her.
The vet thinks she was around 10 yrs. old.
She was a beautiful loving girl . The hardest thing I ever had to do was deciding to put her down.
She was losing weight, not eating,arthritis had set in.
I could see she was miserable.
I couldn' bear the thought of seeing her in pain or losing her at that point.

I decided to send my beautiful Lilly Rose to Rainbow Bridge.
I know in my heart she is no longer in pain nor afraid of any of the outside elements she had to deal with during her life. She is at Peace.
I love you Lilly Rose.
Linda

We will miss you always,our baby girl. My heart is broken. You were the funniest little fur baby I ever knew. Thank-you for touching our lives with laughter, and picking me to be you mom, if only for a short time. Forever a mommy's girl

Kim Gierlach

Lillybell Butterscotch was the most loving friend we could have asked for. Everyday she brightened our lives with all her different sounds and expressions. She would look at us with such trust in her eyes, it made you feel she would always be there. I will always remember her smell and softness.I know she is in a beautiful place , where she can always see us and know we love her forever. Hopefully each day will get easier without her, but now I miss her so.

John & Kimberly & Kent & Mackenzie

Lilly survived being caught in a trap in southern Indiana. She was rescued and had to have her leg amputated. She was able to have three good years after her rescue. Playing and running occupied her all too short life. Beagle pain syndrome finally claimed her. Rest in peace, babygirl.

Marcy Thomas

i miss you

Reid

Our little Lilo,I only hope you felt and knew the love we had for you since the day we rescued and bottle fed you till the day you had to leave us.Your affection for shiny obejects and your morning wake up calls, and you sitting on th eedge of the tub watching your buddy take a bath.You were far to young to have been sick and we would have done anything to make you feel better.We hope your passing was quiet and peaceful and you have to understand we couldnt bare to see you suffer or be with you when you at the end it hurts us so to have to have seen you like that when just a few days before you were full of life. We will love you always and you captured our hearts and in our hearts you will remain forever, we love you our little Lilo.

Eric Knight

in loving memory of our beloved Lily who always gave unconditionally her love and devotion. She will be forever missed and loved. I miss you and am so sorry I could not make you get better. I have to believe that you are at the Rainbow Bridge.

My comfort, my joy, my true friend
Always there, waiting for me
Giving and receiving love
"Want to snuggle?" and you would patter to me
The house isn't the same without you
Rudy searches everywhere for you
Comfort us in our time of loss
Be near us so we can heal our hearts
We love and miss you
You'll always be in my heart

Karen Kious

Lily, my beautiful, sweet, gentle loving baby girl.
Your pain is now over. I will love you until the day I die.
Play and be happy until we are reunited at the Rainbow Bridge, my love. xxx

Leah

Lily, your sister has now joined you at the Bridge. I know you are both sitting on a cat napper together, once again, watching the birds and meowing at them. Your sister came to you yesterday, and one day, I will come to pick you up.

Jessica Lover

My little Lily girl has been my biggest fan since the day I picked her up at the vet, after she had been left in a basketon thier doorstep. She was only 6 weeks old, and had been abandoned, and because someone was kind enough to take her, amke her comfortable and put her on the vet's doorstep, I have been so lucky to have her for 17 years. And so it was my turn to make her safe and take her to the vet to let her leave this life in dignity.
She was my sweet little Lily, and I will miss her every day when I come home, and she is not at the window meowing for me.

To keep her in memory, I have had her cremated and she will be in a WHITE OPAL urn. I know her soul has moved on, but I want to have memorial to be with me.
Good-bye little baby girl,
Mom

Lily was truly a woman's best friend.
Smart, beautiful, and loving, she always brought out the highest good in me.
I love you, sweetpea.

Katherine Brevik

Lily and I were madly in love with each other. She never left my side. Lithe and svelte, always runnin and wigglin her nubbin. She became suddenly ill and died 12 hours later - we believe she may have been poisoned. This dog of mine, my shadow, my best friend - we will meet again on the other side. In the meantime, take care of your sisters who preeceded you - run and jump and play with them. I miss you so, my petitie sweetie.
Go well...............

Kath Parks

lily i miss you so very much .l love you so very much now and always .my cat is an angel from heaven above with sandpaper kisses and a heart full of love,

Hazel Lecouteur

Baby Girl,
We never believed we would have to say goodbye so soon, we thought you would be with us till WE were old and gray. You have left a deep hole in our hearts, but we have lots of wonderful memories. All the fantastic tricks you learned, your beautiful spirit, unconditional love and
your ability to make us laugh and smile. I will miss your "harp seal" bark and quivering body when I come home from work, Papa will miss those 2 dark eyes staring at him, waiting for your share of Taco Bell, and Jessie will miss your excitement when she came home from school. We know you had some health issues, but you never let them stop you from being our energetic little girl. To think that a fluke took you away makes me very angry and sad. Lily, we miss you, we will always have a piece of you in our hearts. Stay with Grandma and Lady, they will show you a good time :) Bailey really misses you too.
Love Mom, Papa, Jessie and Bailey

Be comforted, little dog thou, too, at the resurrection shall have a golden tail.
Run free with Belle and Feo.

Gail Rios

Lily, my tiny little dancer, you will be so missed.
You have brought so much to our lives.
Your passing was so quick that we have been left in a fog. But if there is a blessing in your passing, it must be in the peace we felt with you as we said our goodbyes.
We feel blessed to have spent your last hours together, talking about waht a good girl you were for us. I know you held on longer because we were there.
It's time for you to be a puppy again Lily, and we will take care of things from here. I know you will be waiting for us on the bridge. Sizzle is there and you can herd him all you want!
I love you so much lily....
Mama

Precious and beautiful Sheltie child, you were the light of our lives and we'll miss you always.
We see you everywhere we used to go together.
You were the sweetest and most affectionate of pets. You gave us a sense of calm, comfort and joy by your very presence. You touched everyone who knew you with your grace and gentle spirit.

Every morning we light a candle in front of your picture and give you a kiss. Our time together was too short - only 7 of your 13-1/2 years, but we are eternally grateful for it.

We'll love you forever and ever.
Mama and Dad

Our Lily Emma, age 11, left us on Saturday to join her sister Brooke. Annabelle, her constant companion, and entire family mourn her passing. She is the sweetest girl one can imagine. She was, though, demanding in such a way that only in her absence do we realize how large was her presence in our lives. We loved her completely, and she returned our love. What joy, what spunk, what beauty, our girl with the feminine face. We love you, dear sweet Lily Emma. R.I.P.

Kathryn and Geoffrey Baker

My gorgeous kitten! Its so unfair you have been taken this way. We just wanted whats best for you. You didnt even get chance to explore the big wide world.
The dog misses you, he looks everywhere for you. You are in the garden now, now you can explore all you wish!

Rest in peace baby, i love you and miss you so much!

Nikki Bee

Lily,

Please know how much you were loved, and how much I miss you...you were only small in size, never in heart or spirit or in any other way.

There is such a hole in my heart without you,

Love,
Mommy

This is a tribute for a cat I never had the privilege to meet face to face but I got to know him through pics and his owner.
Limmen lived with his human family in Norway,...he brought happiness and joy to his humans and to his brother Professor.
He had the look of a wise cat, black and white, fluffy...adorable and now he's not with us...but his memory will be in the hearts of the ones who loved him.
This tribute is also to say thank you to Limmen's dad for allowing me to share the most precious last moments in Limmen's life.
He will be waiting for his human family and brother Professor...then they'll be together again.

Vicky Terreros

The sweetest girl ever. Lina fought hard with her battle with GI Lymphoma. On her last day with us she waited until I came home from work so I could be with her during her last moments on earth. Lina loved everyone she met and they fell in love with her.
I will miss all the kisses my Lina Bug gave me everyday.

Vivian Rose

Lindsay was a very special dog.
She loved me like no human ever has and I miss her.
I want her back in my life to be there for me in rough times and good.
There will never ever be another Lindsay.
I know she is in better place which is the only comfort I have now.
I hope she knows how much I miss her and love her.

Melinda

Lindy was a sweetheart and very special. I will always remember her.
My heart breaks for her family, you are all in my prayers.
Nancy

We had her for a very short time. We took care of her until she passed. We rescued her.

Lee, Marc, and Val Denning

you are my little baBY. I LOVE SO MUCH. ITS HARD NOT TO HAVE YOU AT HOME. YOU WERE APART ARE FAMILY

WE MISS U,
MY LITTLE LINGLING THE PUPPY

Lynn Damico

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, LINUS & WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. WE WISH WE COULD HAVE HAD YOU WITH US FOR SO MUCH LONGER. BE HAPPY AT RAINBOW BRIDGE, LINEY. WITH LOVE, SAM & MELYSA X

Linus was a very energetic and loving companion.I loved him with all my heart.It crushed me when he got sick and I found out he could not be saved.I then had to make one of the hardest decisions I EVER HAD TO MAKE.I miss him very much my heart is shattered.

S

Linus,

It's been almost 4 yrs. since you crossed the Rainbow Bridge, but EVERYDAY you are so missed. You were one-of-a-kind buddy, and when Mommy cries each time I think of you, it's because I know you're in a great place and no longer suffering. We'll see you up there some day Linus.
We love you so very, very much buddy.

Mommy & Daddy

You were the sweetest dog. We already miss you so much, but know you are in a better place free from pain.

Jenni

I will dearly miss our "Big Fellow"! He really was an unbelievably sweet doggie.

I'll miss him plopping down his 100 pound body on my feet. I'll miss how excited he'd get when I came in for bedtime treats, and how he'd run to reserve his favorite bed as soon as he'd received his last treat. I'll miss the way he runs away anytime you'd get close to the hose. I'll miss how he'd let out a human groan when you woke him in the morning and how he disliked rainy days. I'll miss how he'd go storming out of the garage with his loud protective bark as soon as the door was opened. I'll miss how he'd get overly excited when he first saw you and occassionly take a bite out of your nose. I'll miss him running around in the backyard, trying to get the toy that Lucy was playing with, knowing that he was not going to catch her. I'll miss how he would actually get that toy once in a blue moon and go hide. I'll miss how he LOVED to play in the dirt. I'll miss how he'd lay on his back and get his tummy rubbed like a puppy.

Rest In Peace Linus!!!

Melissa McClain

Never thought I could ever love a greyhound. Now I wonder how I could ever have thought that. Linus, you taught me what a dog really is, a true member of the family....someone to talk to, to cry to, to lay down and snuggle with...and never hear a bad word. You only loved me more. Linus, you left too quickly. You did your job, cured Carol, and must have had to move on....figured we could take it from here. I truly hope so. And I know how truly happy you were while here with us....

Dad

He was a stray cat. we loved him.

Clora M Phillips

We rescued Lisa early in 2003, she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
It was no wonder that she had been used for breeding, she was really show quality.
She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside.
A faithful companion and treasured friend.

Rest in peace dear friend.
We love & Miss you

Judy & Gene Gore

It’s really not home without her. She had always been there, a part of our family, even before me. Now her spirit lingers.

Erin

You and your sister Lisa came into our lives 10 years ago. You were the only male in the litter, and we were told that male cats are the most affectionate, so we made sure to reserve you. You were big ­ over 20 poundss. The vets said you had to lose weight ­ they didn't realizze your frame was large enough to carry that weight, because you stayed hunched up when you were in their offices.

Big handsome tabby, King Homer, affectionate is an understatement. No position except on our chests right in our face was good enough for cuddling. You would crawl up on me in bed when you knew I was awake, licking my forehead, and sometimes nibbling my nose (oww!) with those sharp teeth. When daddy got into bed late after a hockey game, you were right there to put him to sleep with your purry presence. You were a scaredy cat, rarely coming out for visitors, but you would barely leave us alone otherwise.

All of the vets and techs made it a point to tell us what a good boy you were. You were a gentle giant, putting up with almost anything. Your body was strong, but unfortunately, your heart was too damaged. We have no second thoughts that it was the right time, but it was still unbearably hard to let you go.

We will always love you, Homer, Love Mommy and Daddy

She was the light of my life.

John F. Kiriacon

I miss her so much. I hope to see her again someday.

Kelli Staples

It has been one year since our Lita-Boo, my daughters dog passed. She was one of my Jacks puppies and such a wonderful friend. We miss you everyday. And for Bernie, you were much loved and are dearly missed.

Love you both,
Fur-Grandma Betty

Little
Dog
?/?/????
- 6/5/2008
Age:
10+ years

Our home is quieter today and emptier than we ever imagined possible.
Today, we grieve in ways unspeakable.

Our Little Dog came into our lives unexpectedly and captured our hearts even more unexpectedly.

Named "Little Dog" as a means of temporary identification since our intent was to find her a home when she found herself homeless . . . and within weeks, our hearts were her home.

Her life with us started just the same way that it ended:
In our arms, and today, she took her last breath while in the comfort of our arms.

We never knew her birthday, but we will never forget the day she passed from this life.

Gone but not forgotten.
She was - and will forever be -
Little Dog with the Big Heart!

We love and miss you so much.
Goodnight Little.

Valerie and Colin

We miss you and love you! You were a very special boy!

Laura Perez

Goodbye, My Little Boy, I will always love you, and you will be missed so very much but always hold a place in my heart.

Donna Casey

Debbie Cipolla

My sweet Little Bear, I know you will rest in peace. Your struggles were many but the pleasures you gave to me were much greater.

Cheryl Garley

LITTLE BIT WAS THE BEST DO ANYONE COULD EVER HAVE.
SHE LIVED TO BE ALMOST 17YRS OLD AN I MISS YER MORE EVEYR DAY.
SHE WAS MY CONSTANT COMPANION, IF I TOOK A SHOWER, SHE WAITED ON THE BATH MAT, IF I WENT ANYWHERE, SHE WAS RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
SHE WAS THE BEST WALKER IN THE WORLD TOO, SHE COULD WALK 4 MILES AND THEN COME INSIDE AND WANT TO PLAY.
SHE LAST WALKED ABOUT 2MOS BEFORE SHE PASSED.
I KNOW SHE IS WAITING FOR ME.
I LOVE YOU MY LITTLE BIT

Barb Furano

You will never be forgotten, I love you with all my heart.
I will see you again someday
Love you

Shannon Gerlinger

Little Bit, you were our godkitty and we loved you so much. We will never forget you, little girl. You are missed and much loved.

Juanita & Rita Woods

You were a bit cantankerous as you aged, but you always loved being brushed, scratched behind the ears, and the occasional belly rub.
Play with Sandi, Sarah, and Ashley, but be nice!

Rick Merritt

I got Little bit when he was 4 weeks old and he was my little buddy for nine years.
He will always be in my heart.

Annette Smitt

Little Bit was my beloved friend and companion-I rescued her when my husband died and she gave me great comfort and companionship for almost nine years.
She was like a child to me,as I live alone.
I miss her terribly but she was sick for several months and I'm glad she is not suffering anymore.
I can still see her little brown eyes talking to me.
Love you Little Bit always!!

Sharon

We got Little Bit when he was 4 weeks old and stole my heart than and there.
He's been a good little buddy up to the end.
He started having seizures 26 in 2 days and he's not the same at all.

Annette Smitt

My sweet "Blackie" I feel so blessed that God loan me you for 12 years.
You brought me so much happiness, joy, and lots of laughter.
You will always be with me.
I'll miss all our road trips together.
But, in my heart you will still travel life's highway with me.

Unitl we met again ole friend......

All my love,

Shannon

Little Bit you will be missed so much.
When you were little you use to love to have your back rubbed back and forth.
And would come to anyone that would do it.
And my cousin Linda nicknamed you Tapper as you would come up to here and tap her arm to have her take notice of her and rub your back.
I hated to see you go, and I did not want to see you go but I hated to see you suffer so.
And now you are with the other cats and dogs that have gone on before you and are playing free from pain and suffering.
Lady will be so happy to see you.
And someday we will all be be all together again.
But for now sweetheart know that we love and miss you so much and play with your brothers and sisters.
Mommy and Daddy love and miss you.
You were so special to us.
The others miss you so much also.
Love, Mommy and Daddy

TO MY TWO LITTLE DOGS, THAT WERE TOGETHER FOR 14 YEARS. LITTLE BITTY AND SPOT BOY.THEY WERE OR HAD BOTH BEEN STRAYS WHEN THEY CAME INTO MY LIFE.SPOT BOY PASSED AWAY ON 8-22-08 AND JUST A FEW WEEKS LATE LITTLE BITTY FOLLOWED. AFTER SPOT BOY PASSED, LITTLE BITTY WOULD WALK PASS SPOT BOYS BED AND SNIFF. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF SHE WERE ASKING WHERE IS HE? SHE COULD STILL SMELL HIS SCENT BUT, COULD NOT FIND HIM. LITTLE BITTY PASSED AWAY ON 10-30-08 WHICH IS MY BIRTHDAY. I HOPE THEY ARE TOGETHER AGAIN. THEY WENT EVERY WHERE WITH ME. AND THEY SLEPT IN MY ROOM WITH ME. I SOMETIMES THINK THAT I CAN ALMOST SEE THEM IN THE HALL OUTSIDE MY BEDROOM AT TIMES.I LOVE YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH.THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME. LOVE MOM

Little Bob was such an incredible and loving dog and he is truly missed.
He absolutely loved the wild rabbits in our back yard--he would never chase them, but would only wag his tell when he saw them. Often times they would just turn their backs and ignore him.
I am honoring Bob by turning my back yard into "Little Bobs Bunny Ranch."
I am planting a vegetable garden so they can "belly up to the salad bar." Little Bob would have loved this.

Pamela

Little Boy, you were the sweetest, cutest kitty anyone could ever hope for.
We are the luckiest for having you with us for so long.
We know you're up in heaven right now curled up on God's lap and we await the day we can be with you again and hold you.

Suzanne & John

Little Boy Kitty went to the Bridge on August 20, 2008.He was known as LB for short. He had kidney disease and was not getting any better. I had to make the choice to put him to sleep. Worst thing ever for me. He was a beautiful silver and gray Tabby cat. So loving, precious, very smart, loyal, kind and gentle. I could not have asked for a better fur baby to have for 13 yrs. He is so very loved and will be terribly missed by myself and members of my family.
I fully KNOW that I will be with him again and the time will be short until I see his sweet angel face again. I love you my tiny boy:)

Linda Smith

He was my best little friend, the bravest dog I ever knew.
I miss him so much.

Greg Raber

Two days ago, I discovered a wild baby rat in my garage. He was still alive, even though his eyes were still closed (2 weeks old by my estimate). I took him in, gave him a warm box to sleep in, and nursed him with baby formula and cared for him for the last two days. He seemed to be doing well, but this morning he left me unexpectedly. I know I’ve only had him for two days, but I can’t seem to get over him (he was so small and sweet). I feel that it’s my fault for his passing even though I know he wouldn’t have survived for the two days that he did without me.
I hope that he's in a truly better place without needs, wants or cares. You were so beautiful, Little Chef and I feel blessed that you entered my life, even for such a short period.

Bryan Boyce

Little Courage was born to a litter of six kittens, from a stray mama cat. By the time I found you, you were so weak and frail. I tried with all of my heart to get you strong and well, and you fought so hard.

You had the sweetest personality, you were never scared and so gentle and trusting when I gave you medicine.
You purred and cuddled with me on the days you felt better.

I will never forget you and I'm sorry I couldn't make you well again. I pray that you are at peace and safe. I pray that an angel is watching over you until we meet again.

Lillie

We miss and love you.
Goodnight, Little.

Valerie and Colin

You were the sweetest kitten I ever knew.
You were so tiny, but so brave. You made us all so happy just to watch you grow and play. Even though you were only here a short time, you will always be our sweet pea.
Run to the treat lady, little girl.

Moriarty Family

Little Guy,
My heart is aching for you today. Daddy had to take you yesterday to Dr. Pitts office so he could help you transition to Rainbow Bridge without any more pain. You tried so hard to keep going, even thru blindness, being deaf, and having no teeth. It took you a whole evening to eat a meal that would take the others minutes, but you managed to finish. We had taken you to the Dr. office several times before, but he always assurd us that even though you were very thin, your heart was strong and you had no pain. Then three days ago, you wouldn't eat or drink. I made you chicken and rice (one of your favorites) and when you didn't even try to eat I knew something was very wrong. I was right and now you are gone. My only consolation is that you are going to a special place to be with our other furbabies. I know you will be happy to see Duchess, Max, ChaCha,and Beau. You will recognize them and they will introduce you to the other Stewart family furbabies that you never knew. Be happy my Little Guy and watch out for me and daddy to come to see you when our time is thru here. Minnie, Precious and Barney miss you too. I hope when Barney got under the comforter with you and purred your last evening at home that you were comforted by him. Although he a cat and you a dog, the bond was still there of one friend helping another through a difficult time.
You will always be in our hearts.
Love to you and our other furbabies.God has put you in a better place.

Mommy and Daddy

Such a sweet boy with an amazing personality. You will be greatly missed and we so look forward to seeing you again one day!!

Randy, Eileen and Dainty, His Little Sister

I will miss your early morning antics and your sweetness. I can't begin to think of my life without you. My heart is broken and I feel empty. I love you my boy...J

Jaymie

Little Honey, you gave me such happiness, with you little golden self, swimming in your little tank, nibbling at the gravel, coming out to see me when i came to feed you, morning and night.
May you swim in God's great ocean, safe in his arms at last.
Thank you for the time we had together.
I will always love you, little one.

L. Barta

I miss you so much. I can't even describe it. You were my best friend and was always there for me. When I was upset, you just knew. I felt like you took after me when you started eating fruit and biting your nails. I just don't even know what to do because you're not here anymore. I didn't see you much this year as much as I use to because of
work/school and I regret it so much. You always faced the odds, you were the runt of the litter, you had one eye. You lived so long with the problems of undersized organs and I made sure it was the happiest life possible. Choosing to put you to sleep because you were so sickly on May 12th was the hardest decision to make within three hours. I can't believe I had to do it...I wish I could go back in time and hold you and keeping holding you so doctors would go away and stop putting needles inside of you. You just stared at me the whole time, you were so sick, and even though you were all bandaged up and had needles in you, you still were purring because I was there. I love you and I miss you so much and you're always in my heart.

Sara Ventura

Thank-you my handsome boy, for all the rides you have given me,the joy you have given me.I know you are at the bridge in a beautiful field of green with the river running through it,I know you will be there standing tall and looking so handsome waiting to take me and show me the beautiful home you have, while waiting for me.

Renee

The Gentle Giant

Dan & Ruth Sauve

You showed up in my yard for a reason. I did not know you were so sick with Feline Aids. Being with you at the vet was one of the hardest things I have ever done but I did it because I loved you so.

I know you are in kitty cat heaven but I cannot stop thinking of you and thinking there was some other way out.

Everytime I go out the back door I expect to see you. My heart is broken and I cannot stop crying.

I know you are no longer in pain and ask that Muffin and Tuffy will find you and help you in heaven.

I love you so.

Catherine

Little Man you will be forever in our hearts we love and miss you...Love Mama & Daddy

Little Man was the most wonderful dog. I called him my Grand dog because he belonged to my son and his girlfriend.
He was gentle and sweet and playful and such a good friend to all of us. We kept him when his "Mom and Dad" went on vacations and he was so at home and comfortable with us. He was just so very special and altho' I've had dogs and loved them dearly, I think it was because he was only 7 that I am so heartbroken over losing him.
He got sick and could not get well and we had to have him euthanized. I know its what we had to do because he's no longer suffering but I cannot stop thinking of him and the joy he brought us all. Little Man, we will always love you and you will forever be in our hearts.

Linda Gulley

Little Man was by baby from birth. I delivered him and cut his umbilical cord. We live on a farm and he loved to run through the pastures. But, he also liked adventure. He must have slipped through the fence because we found him on the other side of the road. He was hit by a car. He was only 8 months old, but he was such a big part of my life. My husband is in Iraq, and when he left, I still had plans on selling him. But, that didnt happen because I was the only one that he loved. He growled at everyone else. So, I kept him. And I was so excited for my husband to get to know Little Man and become friends with him, for he was getting better with people. But, now that will never happen. My husband will never know him and how sweet he was and how his little tummy was so pudgy and his little feet were so cute, and how when he was getting scolded how he would roll onto his back, and it was sooo cute! But, I have those memories in my mind and in my heart forever! Please pray for him that his soul is forever happy on this farm in heaven, running through the pastures and romping with his sisters and mom and getting that cute little tummy rubbed whenever he wants. I love you Little Man!!! I will never forget you!!! XOXO

Amanda

Our best friend. He was a joy to know & taught us the meaning of unconditional love. A champ to the very end, he will remain in our hearts as our Happy Boy!

Mickey & Melissa Dunn

For my Little Man,

You are/were an amazing cat. People loved you when they did not like cats. You brought so much joy to my life. In my eyes, you were my child, my little boy. I know that I will see you again on the Rainbow Bridge. Until that time, you live on in my heart and in the hearts of those who met you. It was an honor to know you and to love you. Thank you for teaching me how to be in the moment. Thank you for your love. I love you.

Heather Campbell

We love you Missy Sue.
You left us unexpectedly so we didn't get time for a proper good-bye.
I can't get over the pain you endured your last moments but find some comfort knowing you will never have pain again.
You know how much we love you and we'll all meet again to play over Rainbow Bridge.
Until then, play hard and sleep peacefully.

Christine Stamper

It's been three years since your passing, my forever friend, and I continually yearn for your presence. My world is incomplete without you.
You will remain eternally in my heart and soul.
My love for you will never diminish.
I'll see you at the bridge, my angel baby...

Julie, Patrick, Bridget, and Chad Donahue

We will miss you our Dearest Bean Bear.
All our love.

Janice & Tim Barigian

I love you Little Mister Kitty, but the Monolith took you away.
GOD I wish there was really a Rainbow Bridge so I could play with you again.

I love you, Little Mister Kitty.

Dave Bowman

We only knew you for an hour, but we loved you on sight.
You immediately took our hearts.
We can't wait to see you again one day to get to know you better.
Have fun up there with all our other babies.
We love you!

Mary Lou and Hunter Eck

Little Pig was a darling guinea pig. Everyone who met him loved him. Especially his brother Big Pig. His death was especially sad since his brother had been sick and no one ever suspected that little pig was sick. And Little Pig ended up dying first. I miss him very much. I had my babies for three years. But I only spent two of those years with them. I had gone away for a year after i had them and while i was away they were horribly neglected. But then me and some good people rescued them from their terrible foster home and I took great care of them once again. Every single night I would take my babies out to watch tv with me. And when it was warm outside I would let them run around in the grass. Big Pig is still alive but he is very sick now. However we are taking him to the vet soon. Little Pig passed away peacefully last monday. I've been mourning his death every moment of the day because he was my baby. I miss you Little Pig but I know you are safe and happy and healthy and waiting for me and your brother.

Kelly Nancy Hess

DUKE,

YOU BROUGHT MORE JOY AND HAPPINESS TO OUR FAMILY THEN YOU WILL EVER KNOW YOU WERE A TRUE GENTLEMAN YOU NEVER COMPLAINED YOU ARE STILL THOUGHT OF FONDLY EVERY DAY NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN SOMEDAY WE WILL MEET AGAIN UNTIL THEN STAY THE TRUE GENTLEMAN THAT YOU ARE WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH

Kathleen

My most beloved Little Scoutie, you were my best friend for 17 years, and that is a long time to be someone's best friend. I always whispered these words to you in your little ear. When I rescued you, your mother and siblings as tiny kittens in Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba, you were the first to come to me on your baby feet, fearless, to be my friend. So brave of you. I will forever feel your little head placed against my shoulder, and your beautiful golden eyes gazing up into mine. There is simply no way I can adequately express how much I loved you and how much you meant to me.
I will love you and be your friend forever, and till my last days, and even longer, I will remember the feel of your soft, silky fur on my cheek.
There are no words to express the extent of my grief over your passing. I give you many magic kisses on your little head. I pray you are happy, well, and at peace now, and I pray to see you again someday.

Barbara Weimann

My Dear Little Sensei,
Your Mummy misses you so much. It's been over six months and not a day goes by that I don't think of you, love you, and feel you deeply in my heart. I will never forget you. Mommy understands what you went through. I wish I was magic and could have taken your pain all away. We will be together one day, I know it...
Love,
Your Mummy, forever.

She was a very loving little girl who loved to cuddle.
Her passing has left a whole in our hearts.
Our baby will be sorely missed until we meet again.

Penni

My darling little Sophie, I miss you dearly and feel as if a big piece of my life has been torn away. Please know I did all I knew to do in order to try to save you.
I know in my heart you will forgive me for any mistakes I may have made along the way.

My little boy died of FIP this morning. I'm at school and he passed away in a laundry basket of my clothes in my room at home. May he rest in peace.

Michelle Kleber

Little Woody was so special.
He was only 7 yrs old. He had cushing disease & heart disease.
His heart was enlarged which eventially caused him to have mini-strokes.
He had a major stroke on Weds. 11/23 & we had him put to sleep.
We were in Florida when we had to make this discission.
My heart is still broken!!!!!

Lizyanne

I adopted Lizy on October 13, 1997; she turned out to be the best birthday present ever!
On the ride home from the breeder she rested her head on my shoulder; my shoulder was Lizy’s comfort zone for her entire life.

Our baby was a little dog with big dog attitude!
She feared nothing, except a “storm” and the “rain.”
At times I would use these words to get her home from a long walk.
As soon as she would hear either “storm” or “rain” Lizy would quickly make her way home.
What a hoot!

She was plagued with allergies from the age of two.
Did you ever know of a dog who was allergic to grass?
Well, now you do!
She suffered tremendously with skin abrasions and was constantly on some kind of medication.

Lizy loved people!
She made everyone feel like they were the only person in the world.
What she wouldn’t do to get someone’s attention; and, if you didn’t pay attention to her, she would let you know about it!

Playing ball was one of her favorite things to do.
Every night after dinner we would play ball.
It was so funny to see her run after the ball or push it around the floor with her favorite toy, “Chicky,” in her mouth.
I could go on forever about my Lizy . . . .

I miss you with all of my heart, Liz.
Thanks for loving me and teaching me how to love unconditionally.
See you at Rainbow Bridge!!

Marie A. Mayer

Lizzie Lulu was so dear to our hearts - a constant companion, dear friend, and fellow adventurer on the lake, in the RV or just running around town with her moms in the truck. Our house is so empty without her big personality to fill it and we await our reunion across the Rainbow Bridge. Until then, the squirrels and all small rodents, will get a run for their money. Rest well our sweet girl.

Kris and Val

Lizzie was full of love and loyality. She was our little furball.
She loved to lay in the sunshine coming through the windows and loved to warm herself in front of the fireplace. She followed our every foot step and was always near. She will be forever in our hearts. We miss her terribly. Lizzie was only in our lives 9 short years.
On her grave marker we plan to write
She loved to be loved and thats what we did.
We love you Lizzie Pooh.

Jim and Debbie

Lizzie was the sister of Nibbles. She had a spunky personality and always cheered me up. She died of a tumor.

Lily Masters

Lizzie, our love, our friend and our dollie.
You gave us some much joy and happiness in short time we got to have with you.
You have spread your wings and enjoying life again playing with all furry family and friends.
Have lots of fun until we all meet again.
We miss you very much.
We love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Richele, Les & Lauren

Our beautiful, sweet girl, Lizzie Applebaum Davis, went to sleep today. When she wakes, all her pain will be gone and she can chase squirrels all day long at the Rainbow Bridge.

Sharon & Rich Davis & Debbie Applebaum

Elizabeth Jo thought she was a pit bull, would take on any dog, no matter the size, to protect her home and her family.
She was the smartest dog I've ever had and lived to play.
We taught her to say "I love You" in ten minutes.
Should've went on Dave Letterman stupid pet tricks!
Will never ever forget this very, very smart little dog. Can't wait to see you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Candy Murdock

In memory of 3rd annivsery of death we will always love and misss you

Lucy Magalich

Ljubinka was my best friend.
She was loyal and loving and her love was unconditional. She was one of a kind and can never be replaced.
She was special from the beginning that I got her.
She will never be forgotten.

Amanda Raymond

Lobo was the best little boy in fur suit, my angel, my pumpkin bunny.
He loved unconditionally all those he came in contact with.
Even though his body was shutting down and with his last breathe on this earth, he wanted to go for a walk.
Although he would stumble and fall, it was his heart's desire to go for a walk to the park at the end of my block.
Even though all else in the body was failing his spirit and desire would not fail him.
This made it very very difficult for me to make a decision to send him to Heaven.
I pray that he knows that I did not want him to suffer any more and how much I truly loved him.
My Love for him could never match his unconditional love for me.
I pray that Peace is with Lobo now and he knows how much I miss him along with his brother Rio who was left behind.
Lobo was nearly 14.5 yrs. old, but always an Angel.
We all Love You!

Bridget G. Kotz

My little Lobo,
I miss you dearly. You were the most human cat I have ever known. You were supposed to be with me for the next 20 years, but for some reason God took you, too, right before my precious Danny and your friend. You took such good care of my little old man when he went outside. You walked by his side, you made sure he got in the house alright, and you even started scratching at the back door like crazy and crying loudly when Dannyboy fell to let me know. I took care of your boo-boos, we had brushies every night at 8:45 until I got hurt, and you loved to give me and Danny nose-kisses. I will never forget you. I suspect God put you here and took you so suddenly(in such a short time) so you could be Danny's guardian angel like he was mine. To help him while he was here, and to guide him to the Rainbow Bridge so he wouldn't be scared or lonely when he got there. I know I will see you both soon and we will be together in peace and none of the three of us will ever have to worry about getting yelled at again. By the way, my precious Lobo, you have 3 beautiful children, Pee-Wee, Blue, and Moochie who are very loving also. Pee-Wee took over where you left off with DannyBoy. He even got to say good-bye to him on the day he went back to heaven. I just wish I could have said goodbye to you Lobo. I wish I could bring the 3 of them in like I wanted to with you- to love them and take care of them, but you know what it is like here. I will do the best I can, though. I love you and miss you. Have fun with Danny-Boy and wait for me.

Cindy

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Hello Lockers.. I know you will miss my massages, but I hope you aren't in pain anymore. We miss you. Love Kym, Robin and Michelle xx

Loco, you were the best friend I ever had. I loved you more than you could ever know. The only thing I want in the world is to be with you again. I love you I love you I love you. I just wanted you to feel no more pain, you were way to special to feel any. You saved your daddy's life and brought a joy to him that kept him going through all the tough times. We will be together again, I promise. I will keep you in my heart and memories until we reunite at the bridge. I love you and miss you.
Daddy.

Log was the best friend a girl could ever have and was as loyal and loving as perfection.
I gave my love wholly and so did he and I'll never forget him.
He has taught me so much about unconditional love and its ability to soften even the hardest of hearts.
He made lifes challenges bearable.
He made life wonderful.
I miss him.
May his memory and light live forever in me.

Maria B. and Ken C.

Logie, we lost you so quickly, hardly time to say our goodbyes.
But just know that we loved you more than words can say and miss you even more.
Can't wait to see you again someday. Love, Mama



He had a rough first 7 years of his life due to abuse and neglect.
I was so happy to give his last 5 good years.
He was so scared when he came to me and was such a happy boy when he passed.

Erin

Logan you brought a lot of joy into my life and I will never forget you.

Kari

Julie Williams

Loie was Basel’s first and only puppy, born on February 19, 2005.
For the first few months of her life, her feet barely touched the ground.
She was such a cute little chumpa-lumpa we couldn’t help but carry her around.
Her favorite spot to nap was laying on your belly and even when she grew too big fit, she always made sure to have some part of her body touching you.
The closer Loie was to you the better.
She would barrel into you and put her head over your shoulder so you could give her a big squeeze and once you let her go, she would just chest-but you until you gave her more love.

Her greatest love was water (but only to drink not to swim in). As soon and the freezer door opened you could count on Loie to race up and sit by the door until you tossed her an ice cube (her favorite treat).
The only way to keep her quiet in the morning was to let her in the bathroom so she could drink from the shower.
When it rained she would beg to go outside and lap up the puddles or just sit in the yard and watch the drops fall.
Loie always found joy in the little things in life, all you had to do was look in her direction and she would give you a big Berner grin, wag her tail and roll over for a belly rub.
It was impossible not to smile when Loie was in the room, she was always such a goof.

Loie had more happy moments in her life than I can count, it was a rare moment when her tail wasn’t wagging.
She loved to play with her mom (occasionally to Basel’s dismay) and was fast friends with everyone she met. The first time she met a horse, she just jumped up and planted a big wet lick on its nose. That was how she was – she adored everything and everyone.
She loved walks with mom, car rides, watching TV with dad and hiking with me and Basel.
She was even excited to go to the hospital and would fall asleep in the nurse’s lap while she got chemo and then make herself the welcoming committee for all the other patients.

Loie, we love you and miss you but know that you are in a better place.
We are all happier people for knowing you and will treasure the memories of the time we spent together.
They broke the mold when you were born, there will never be another Loie-dog. Love always, Micki and Basel

Loki Doki--
You were the best dog in the whole world.
I will miss your eagerness for me to put on my sneakers!!

I love you!

Kerri

Loki was the most fantastic dog ever known. She was completely devoted to me and my husband. She was a sweet natured, very loving dog. On September 12, she became ill, stopped eating. We took her into the vet, and they tested her for everything. It ended up she had a malignant abdominal tumor that was bleeding into her body. She was in a lot of pain, and given a 5% chance of living even with surgery. We made the painful decision to let her die peacefully, via euthanasia. I love her so much, and she will never be forgotten. Everyday she greeted me at the door, she laid on my feet as I was on the computer, she followed me around everywhere. She loved to chase birds, and she often gave me the impression that she wanted to fly. She was very good with her feline companion Kaia. She was extremely loved, and losing her has been the most painful thing I have ever dealt with, except the death of my mother. I know our beloved angel Loki is in heaven, enjoying her time chasing birds and being a great companion to all the other dogs who have passed. Rest in peace beautiful one.

Elizabeth Bowers

You were my best buddy.
Always there for me and always a friend to everyone.
A thousand things will always remind me of you and it is real hard with you not here.
The vet said that you were born with a heart too small for you, but I think that you had the biggest little heart in the world.
I always said I never knew what I would do without you, and I was right.
I hope that you are in a happy place and I can't wait to see you again.
Thanks for always being there Loki.
I love you buddy.

Reid Jutras

To my Loki, my heart - I will love you forever you were the one, my only.
I will miss you forever and for always - your place beside me is empty now as is my heart.
You are my sunshine my only sunshine....

Victoria

Loki was my sweet baby.
He was the love of my life.
Loki's life was so short but his impact on my life will last forever.
Every cup of tea I have, I think of you, my tea partner.
Earl Gray was Loki's favorite.
I miss you....

Joyce Brenc

Loki - you have been my child, my constant companion, my faithful friend and I will forever carry memories of you in my heart.
16 years is a long time, today as I held your little head while you passed I wanted to go with you - we have been through so much together.
Your brave, strong heart always willing to go the extra mile will not be forgotten - I love you!
I miss you!
I hope you are with our little Cleo and running in a meadow and digging holes - feeling the wind in your fur - you always liked the cool fall days and laying in a sunny spot - I miss you, I am so sorry I wasn't able to care for you better.
Goodbye until we meet again.
I love you.

Heidii Poplick

You were a friend and best buddy and I will miss you terribly.
I never knew such a gentle giant such as you, always greeting me with a thump, thump of your tail.
I love you Loki and knowing that you are now without pain and can get up and down with ease makes the loss of you easier to bear.
Your friend Joey

lola, most of all, i loved the way you loved me.
thank you for being such a sweet girl, my first little kitten.
i am going to miss you so much but i am glad you went away when you needed to.
i will love you always.

-mama

I lost my beloved dog tonight as we had to put her down from a mauling she received during this week. My heart is broken. Lola was a little darling that loved everyone. She was my little girl and I miss her so. Sweet dreams little one, till we meet again.

Rebecca Clayton

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
(I Corinthians 13:4-8)

A piece of my heart is missing; it was taken by Lola to the Rainbow Bridge, for Love's sake.

Lea Adams

Though your little lives were so short you gave so much pleasure and joy to all who knew you. We will always miss you but know you are safe in guinea pig heaven, flying around with your little wings and watching over us.

Philip

Like her Mum (Molly) our Lola had mammary cancer, we knew there was nothing to be done,as she had so many lumps and bumps the surgery would have been too much for her. We decided as long as she was happy pain free and enjoying life we would keep her with us.On the 22nd Jan this year we found blood on the floor and she was not her usual self.We knew the day had come to say farewll to our only remaining baby. The vet told us that she had an infection and a temperature and that we had a decision to make.Lola had been such a loving girl gentle with our grandsons and a great companion, we thought she deserved a dignified end to such a beautiful life. We miss her so, having lost Molly on the 18th september last year,Chloe the previous November and Lola's brother Caffrey at six and a half four years before that we feel devastated. So Lola, run to the bridge and find your doggy family, tell them we think of them every day, and one day we will all go walkies together again, We love you all,
Mum and Dad XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Lola, you will always be in our hearts. The year and a half you were in our lives you smothered us with love and were our little baby girl. We will miss you greatly..

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord.

Longtail, you were a precious kitty who always never failed to love other additions to our household, always tried to keep things neat and never cause any trouble to anyone or anything. Loosing you has left a huge hole in my heart and the hearts of Beth and Willie. We will never forget you and anxiously look forward to the day we are reunited again!
With Much Love and a Broken Heart,

What a great friend.
We miss you so much.

My baby lived for a short time, but during that time made us infinitely happy. He was sweet, happy, active, a lovely puppy. Now...is only sadness...we wish our tears could bring you back Looney...We love you! We miss you! Rest in peace my baby, rest in peace "lunito, mi pollito".

Mami

Toones and I spent 17 year together--1/3 of my entire life. Quite simply, he taught me how to love completely. We went through 7 years of diabetes treatment together--2 shots a day, with never a complaint. I loved the way his little face would round the corner every night at 9 PM for some lap time, and how in his later years, he would make his way up his pet stairs to my bed for goodnights and very good mornings, how he would quietly tap the side of my office chair to ask for help up for a visit. I will miss him and love him FOREVER. Farewell, sweet boy.

Diana Newton

lolli was the best little gabber on the phone.
he will be missed.

Melanie J. Bisson

My beloved LOPITA, I was the first person to ever hold you on the day that you were born, and the last person to hold you on the day that you went home way too soon. You were a spark of joy and happiness in a cold world; your golden eyes could melt stone. You were my true friend through thick and thin, lean times and good times. You were a comfort through loss and grief, your purr reminded me of the love of the Creator. Wait for me dear friend, and we will once more share dinner and coco together. I shall not tarry long.

Your human in grief,
Joe

Joe H

Little Lopsy I will miss your cute meow sounds.
You were so funny when you wanted a treat.
I know I will see you again.
Hang out with Dad, Gypsy, Dusty, Nutsy and Tar Heel until I get there.
They will take care of you and show you around.
Thank you for picking this house when you needed a new place to live.
Your other kitty friends here and I will miss you.

Elizabeth Price

A perfect and beautiful dog; primitive, confident and loving.
I thank God for each and every day Lora Lynne was in my life; and I thank God for her passing over the Bridge quietly and peacefully.
Lora Lynne, take care of Inga Marie.
We love you.

Jeanne, Mimi, Henry James, Magic, Ethan and Hillary

My dear sweet dog, my best friend for 18 years.
I miss your smiling face in the backseat when I run my errands.
Sometimes I still imagine you will be at the door when I come home from work and your beautiful face at the door waiting patiently to come in.
Our little Ozzie cat misses sleeping against your warm stomach.
My sweet girl, I miss you so much, but I have your memory and I know that at the Bridge you no longer fall and can hear everything again.
I can't wait to see your funny face again and hug and run with you.
Until I get there, take care of all of the others.
and..."be a good girl; don't run off."

Cindy

Fly like the wind, sweet honey dog!

Heidi Fellner

There are no words that can express how much you are loved and how so very much more you are missed. Thank you so much for 14 wonderful years of unconditional love and companionship. You will always be in our hearts and thoughts until we meet again.

Love Mum, Eric, and Cassie

Lotto, I'm so sorry
You passed on today.
I paid not attention
While behind me lay.

Lotto, please forgive me
For cutting your life short.
You're no longer with us,
How much we all hurt.

Ray & Sym Gallucci

My Little Lou,
You were such a comfort to me while Daddy was deployed. And now that Daddy is back he can take that burden from you and he will watch over me while I grieve for you now.
You were a sweet and gentle spirit from the moment I held you until the moment you left my arms. I hope you know how much you were loved and what great purpose you served in my life.
I love you my Little Lou.
Goodbye for now,
Mommy

Dear God,

Yesterday I had to lay to rest my lil' ol buddy Lou.
He wasn't doing very good anymore.
His old body of 15 years just couldn't walk the trails of life anymore.
His dignity and strength were failing very fast.

Two months ago, we had a heart to heart, and I knew that he wanted me to let him go.
I saw it in his trusting eyes.
I wasn't ready to let him go.
I wanted him to be a part of my life forever.
I love the lil guy.
So, I kept giving him the best care, and as much love as I could.
But I knew in my heart that he couldn't live forever, no matter how hard I tried to keep him here on earth with me.

Lou really did try very hard to stay here with me, but time and age were closing in on him fast.
His health deteriorated very quickly and he was getting very depressed.
He was a very proud lil guy who did not want anyone to see him in a very bad state of health.
Again I asked him if he really had to go, and I saw it still in his eyes.
It was time to let go.
My heart was really breaking.
I don't want to let him go but I know I have to.

Two days ago, we spent the whole day just hanging out.
We even got our picture taken of Lou giving me his final kiss goodbye.
I loved every moment we spent together.
I think Lou had a pretty good day considering he wasn't feeling too well.
He even ate three cans of dog food which is a pretty big meal for him.
But, Lou didn't have a very good ending to our day spent together.
He had a very hard time getting out of bed that night, and had a wreck.
Maybe the day took too much out of him.

I could not bare to see Lou suffer any longer.
The next morning, Glen, who loved Lou too, made arrangements with the vet to give Lou his wish.

I cradled Lou in my lap, while Glen and Boss looked on.
Boss and Lou were very close for five years.
Boss looked out for Lous' best interest and he let us know very loudly, when Lou was in trouble.
As the drug was administered, and the life left Lous' body, Glen & I both cried.
Lou was surrounded by the family that loved him til the end.

What truly matters is the quality of life, not the length of life and these final moments were an act of love towards Lou as he was no longer able to enjoy life.

So God, when you see a lil old black and white Border Collie, who has a little bump on the bridge of his nose, and who looks like he's wearing a white-collared tuxedo with a white tip on his tail...please call out to him...you'll have to restore his hearing as he's very hard of hearing.
But he will be able to see you.
He's a very friendly lil guy who'll probably have a big grin on his face and he'll be wagging his tail.

He might not want to hang out too long as he'll be wanting to go play with Jake and run through the fields with Goldie.
Lou loved it when we went riding.
If there's a campfire going somewhere, Lou will be there catching the sparks in the air, around a campfire he was know as "Sparky".

Another place you'll find him is on the waters shore.
He didn't like swimming, but he does love to play in and bite at the ripples of the water.
He'll play in the water for hours.

He really loves to play with a 'squeaky' ball.
If you see his pink 'squeaky' up there, he loves it when you use your toes to kick it up in the air so he can catch it.
We lost his pink ball, hope you found it for him.

When you hear thunder in the sky you'll think you've created a crazy little dog.
Most dogs seek shelter..but not Lou!
It's an exciting time for him.
That is..until he lost his hearing.
But Lou did teach Boss all about thunderstorms, and he is carrying on the 'family' tradition.
Just look for a big smile on his face when thunder rolls.

Lou also loves to ride in the back of pickup trucks.
He fell out of the back of the truck when he was a youngster so he's pretty careful now.
He loves the breeze on his face.
If you get a chance, you could always stop for an ice-cream cone.
Oh, how he loved ice-cream.

He loves his 'snack' cookies..the flavored ones.
And he's filled up a few times on spaghetti..loves it.

Because his life wasn't filled with being around cattle, he gets a little nervous of being around them 'cause he doesn't know what he's supposed to do with them.
But, he does know how to herd chickens.
He loved that as a young guy.

And after a hard day, he really loves his cozy bed. He rests so deeply that you might not think he's breathing.
He loves getting and giving kisses.
He always has lots of hugs and kisses.

And don't be surprised if you see him running behind a John Deere tractor that's going around in the hay field.
He loves to play with the mice that come running out from between the rows.

Lou doesn't like being bathed or brushed.
He takes pretty good care of himself, he thinks!
And he doesn't like his feet touched.

He is scared of the wind, so you won't see him hanging outside too long on a gusty day.

The sight of a suitcase makes him sad.
He won't even come out to say goodbye.

It just doesn't feel right...I look out the window and Lous' not there...he's not on his bed in the garage.
I can 'feel' him being here..but I just can't see him...only in my mind.
I will cherish those memories of lil' Lou in my heart forever.
Lil Boss is very much missing Lou.
He looks for him too.
I know he is very lonely so we're being very considerate of how he must feel.
It's a tough adjustment for us all.

Well God, I really miss my lil buddy...but I know you will take good care of him for me...til we meet again.

Please give him lots of hugs and kisses for me and let him know and rest assured that he is gone from my life but he will never be gone from my heart.

Til we see eachother again one day my lil' Lou dawg....I Miss You

P/S
Please give Goldie a BIG hug for me...and Jake too...they were good ol boys

Happy Trails

Myra Morton

He will forever live in our hearts...so young. It is very hard to let him go. WE LOVE YOU LOU!!!

I will forever miss my "Little Buddy", "Mommy's Little Baby"...."Mommy's precious Little Boy". Louie, you were alway's there for me and you were my reason to even get out of bed some day's. You made me smile and laugh every day and you brough so much joy into my life. I feel as if the hurt, pain and anquish I am going through will never cease. It seem's as if every thing I do...there is a reminder of you. And it is such a sinking feeling to open the front door and not have you great me. I have lost my car buddy and I long to call out your name and say..."come on Little Lou Lou, let's go see Grandma". But you are no longer here to answer to my call. My heart aches and I am desperatly seeking answers as to why?? You were to come home in the morning from the hospital and we were going to be together again...Mommy and Louie...buddies til the end. Instead I will be bring you home in an urn, and I will forever keep you close to me but it will never be the same. It is unbearable to even think of my life without you but I know you are no longer suffering and you are in a happy place, in the sun at Rainbow Ridge. I can close my eyes and imagine you rolling on your side and mushing your litte face into the soft, warm soil...that alway's feels good doesn't it? That's a good boy Lou. Momma loves you Louie, Mommy loves you so much and I'll see you again some day...I believe that... I just have to.

Donita L. Hayes

Thank you for your companionship and unconditional love for the last 14 years. Our hearts are aching over our loss of you. Life will never be the same for us without you.
We feel so blessed we had you in our lives.
We love you gentle Louie.

A bold, loving snuggly friend. I miss him badly.

As I was leaving for work one cool April morning 2002,just past my driveway I spotted a small creature sitting by the street. I stopped and picked it up and did notice it was a small dog, but did not know what kind. The little thing was so matted, I could not even tell what sex it was.
Well, I drove right to my dog sitter/groomer's and, holding the dog out in front of me, said "I have an emergency!". She said he was so matted she would have to shave him almost naked (which she did!) She also told me he was a Yorkshire Terrier and a male. He had no microchip or ID of any kind and my vet estimated him to be about 2 or 3 and gave him a birthdate of 6/17/1999. He weighed in at 7 lbs 3 oz.
He was also diagnosed with heartworm which was successfully treated although it left him with a heart condition. My beautiful silver fur baby's little heart gave out and he went to the Bridge last night. I am comforted in knowing he was loved and cared for every minute of the last six years, 11 months and two weeks of his life.

Louie was his own Dog, unique among all the others and loved by all whom knew him. A true friend to all. He was mommy's favorite boy!

Maria Arellano

Louie, you were my one and only baby. You came into my life at one of the hardest times and I am sorry I couldn't be there for you at the end and tell you it's okay and hold you one last time. I miss you so much. You're such a lively dog, I bet everyone in heaven is loving you as much as I do and did. You will never be forgotten. I now have another gaurdian angel. Please know that I love you so so so so so so much...and I never wanted this to happen to you. You were so young..3 months old. A life taken too soon.

Lauren

Now you will always have a squeeky ball to play with.

Adam and Lauren

Everyone loved Louie, and she loved everyone--to the extreme. She was smart, fun, loyal, obedient, a clown, and above all, my closest companion. We took care of each other--she could sense when I needed a hug and would sit quietly accepting my embrace, while her love and gentleness helped me through some very difficult times. Losing Louie was one of the great tragedies of my life. I can't wait for our reunion at Rainbow Bridge one day.

Sue Mallery

My Dearest Louie,

I love you and miss you so much.
I know you are in a better place and some day I will see your furry face.
Please keep your spirit near me and let me feel you often.
You were my beloved pet and the best companion one could ever have.
rest and be happy, I love you, miss you and still mourn you.

your MAMA

I will see you there.

Christine Knott

LOUIS was a noble special Cat, till the end
of his life, he never hunted or killed ANYTHING
one day when he was in the garden a mouse
squeaked at him and he ran away scared of MICE !
wish I had filmed this !
Our grief is unbearable as Louis was with us
nearly eighteen years, we do hope as time passes
the grief will be less painful, we will
always be remembering LOUIS and crying.
Always loved -
Always remembered.

Myra & Stephen

To Louis....

It has been almost a week now since we had to put you down...We tried so hard to save your little light...Your Dad and I wanted so much to have your face with us still....

Dad Bruce misses you, Dad Shelby and I are heart broken...Uncle Beaux and Aunt Val are feeling your loss more and more daily...Your absence has left an uneasy silence.

Your brother from a different mother Bevo is growing used to your absence, but he still misses his bubba...Your Brothers and Sister at your dad's house know your gone too..and wish you well..Buddy is beside himself.

Your cousins here miss you as well...Laika,Ceasar,Agnes, and Myriad look for you and ask where you are...they don't quite understand yet...Nanny has to explain all the time...

I will be lighting a candle for you in my office tomorrow so you can look down in my window and see it from where you are.....Nanny's heart hurts for you...I will be looking up looking for you to be looking back....I miss you so very much

Larry Goodeaux

Goodbye sweet girl have fun in Heaven!

Audrey Aikman

Dear Louise,

I can't believe a year has past since you are gone. You are missed so much. I think about you all the time and pray that you are happy and healthy and running free. Ten months ago I adopted Chloe. She looks just like you. When I went to the shelter I knew I wanted a baby that reminded me of you and there she was, in fact, I call her Weezy all the time. She can never in the world repladce you, but she brings me joy just like you did. I love you my baby girl. Happy Anniversary at Rainbow Bridge.... I'll miss and love you forever, Mommy

Louise was a wonderful rabbit. I miss her so much, but especially at Easter when I see so many smiling happy rabbits everywhere. Rest in Peace LouLou.

Kim Sheehan

It was very difficult dealing with the loss of our precious bunny. We had just 1 month prior loss one of our other precious babies "Missy" due to a illness(kidney Failure) that she could not overcome. And losing Lovable was just horrible. Lovable came into our home when he was just a itty bitty bunny. So soft and furry, with a little puffy tail. We were so excited to bring home a bunny. He was solid white with big ears. Lovable was a indoor pet. He got along with his brothers and sisters (cats), we think he thought they were bunnies too. When he played with the cats toys, he would pick them up and hold them in between his teeth, then throw it around. He was a very good rabbit, a joy to have around. When we walked into the kitchen, he would get excited and run around in his cage and hop to the door. He wanted to be rubbed. He loved to eat lettuce and carrots, but his most favorite treat was parsley. And he loved to sit in the litter boxes, just sit is all he did. He never used them. We almost lost him last year, he stopped eating and we had to feed him by hand. But he was strong and pulled through like a trooper. We miss him so much, our home is empty without him. It gives us some comfort knowing he is not alone and that he is with his sister Missy. We miss both of them so much. I wish they were here........

Margie Brown

Lovey was a sweet, gentle soul with a huge purr.
She would get so excited to see you, her tail would vibrate from the purring.
She was also the smartest cat I have ever seen, never destructive, and just wanted to please.
I will miss her so much.

Sharon McCluskey

Lovey came to us when we went to pick out a new friend. All the others ran but she came to us.
She was quick of foot and made a game of catch me if you can. She loved her cuddles and enjoyed her tomatoes. As quickley as she came into our lives she left us this morning. We will miss her hide and go seek games as well as I'll hide in plain sight but you can't see me. Thank you Lovey for shareing your love with us. We know Littlebit was waiting at the end of the bridge. Enjoy the open fields and sweet grass and brook water.
Hugs & kiss's Mom & Dad.

Lovie was the sweetest, smartest dog, ever. She only ever wanted to be with me, be whereever I was going. I will miss you Lovie, I already do. You added SO MUCH joy to my life, and I am so sorry that you lived such a short life. I love you, Lovie, and I am so grateful for the joy you gave to us while you were alive.

Christine Lopez

We will miss you forever, Lowie.
Our house feels empty without you.
Find Toby, find Baxter and be happy until we meet again.
We love you.

In memory of a beloved pet and family member

Bree Bourque

Lu Lu was best kitty ever.
She not only was beautiful outside with her big, round turquoise eyes, but she had the sweetest soul.
She loved everyone and would give kisses (little licks.)
She was with me through thick and thin and never shied away when I was distressed or sad.
I will miss her terribly.

Karen L Black

Lua, I love you so much and will always. I miss you so bad, you were my angel, my ray of light, now i feel lost. You are my baby forever and know that i will never forget you and that i will see you again.

Delphine

Luca, you were the best dog; life will never be the same without you. Part of me has died with you and I'll miss you forever. I hope one day I'll see your smiling face again, and we can run together in the open fields and on the shoreline. I hope God has plenty of tennis balls for you to play with and you're somewhere watching over the family that loved you more than anything and who you loved so unconditionally. You brought me so much joy in the short time you were here, I just wish I had more time...

Julia Schneider

Luca was one of the sweetest, goofiest and beautiful (she was a blondie!) dog I have ever known. She saved me on numerous occasions and was always there for me when I needed a hug or a puppu kisses.
I love her greatly and she will be missed terribly.

Sarah

The twinkle in your brown eyes is faded,
the thud of your tail against the ground has halted,
the white of your paws is tainted,
your gait had long been faulted.

Now you are free of all this ill,
free to run and play,
safe and loved, your woes are nil,
we will meet again.

Alisa

We will never forget the unconditional love and loyalty you have shown us in the short 9 years of your life.
Coming home will never be the same without you there barking and wagging your tail just waiting for us to open the car door for you to jump up and greet us.
You are the best friend and companion that anyone could ever ask for and you will be missed for the rest of our lives.
We will miss snuggling with you every night and playing with you every day.
Your toy "baby" will be with us forever.

We know you are in a happier place and not in pain anymore.

Mommy loves you and we will see you again someday.

Thank you Luky for taking care of us and being our hero.

Alda & Jason Nye

My precious angel, I'm so sorry I couldn't help you. I will always keep you in my heart.

Carrie

Farewell my baby boy, I will forever love you and remember the joy and hope you brought to my life. It was a short time that I had the blessing of having you, but God knows how much you meant to me.
Love,
Mom

Marcela

How lucky I am to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

Kristen

Seven and one half years was not long enough for us, but how blessed we were to have you for that long.
How God used your death to show me how much He loves animals and where you are now was another blessing.
Thank you Lukie Buke.
We love you and will see you again.
Love, Mom, Dad and Allie

Lucas passed away from complications from pancreatitis on 5/27/08.
He was just under 2 1/2 years old.

Luke was a wonderful companion to myself, my husband, and our dog Maggie.
He and Maggie were best friends, and it is clear that she misses him very much.
We were looking forward to him meeting our first child in August.
Lucas was the only cat I have ever known to love both dogs and children.

I will miss our morning snuggles and evening games of fetch.
I loved him with all of my heart.
I wish we could have saved him. He will never be forgotten.

Nicole Mehelich

WE LOVE FOREVER.

Lucas

My beloved guardian.

Coming to me after an experience of vulnerability, you brought me a sense of security.

Always one to love and accept me, even during my times of weakness, and impatience.
You brought me self awareness.

Gentle, and strong, you were always happy to see any and all of the people that came into our lives, you brought me out of my shell.

In the five short years of your life, you have given to me so many very valuable gifts, simply through your unending loyalty and love.

Bless you my beloved.
I will carry our bond in my heart, and ever and always will we be companions.

Play, run free..
Herd a pack of cats for fun..
Feinius and Keeley await you!

Sweet dreams my handsome man..
I love you!

Noreen Berlier

Luci was my yoga teacher's cat who was so loved. Colleen can still not talk about Luci without crying. She is so missed.
The minister from my church - a 2 dog family - says if there are no pets allowed in heaven he isn't going.

Jean Collier

Luci, I'm glad I got the chance to tell you how much I loved you the night before you passed. I know you were hurting and we didn't want to make the decision to end your life. I think you knew that. So you quietly went in your sleep between Daddy and I. We loved you so much and know that you're sitting on DD's lap now. The kids miss you so much and especially Tiki. He's lost without you.
We all love you so much!

Gretchen

Luci, you were the love of my life - my dearest friend.
I and Missy Cat are missing you so much already.
You will never be forgotten.
We will meet you at the Rainbow Bridge!
Take care of kitties Bob & GT up there.

Judy Fiedler

A poem especially for LUCI GIRL:

You were a mere 11 months old when you touched our hearts,
But somehow you knew as we did that this was only the start.
You were loyal, faithful, cunning, happy, full of life,
and brought unconditional love into our ho-hum human strife.
You were immediately treated as one of our family,
never tasted a morsel of dog food, but rather pork chops and spaghetti.
As we look at your picture everyday on the kitchen window sill,
we remember how much we love you still.
We still here your nails on the hardwood floor,
and at the end of the day as I open the front door.
Nothing or no one can ever replace the bond we had,
even after 3 years, we miss you so much we still get sad.
There will be no better day or time in this world,
than when we see you again and can say "come here LUCI GIRL"!

Jason & Weldon

I remember the day we met you.
Andy and I were at the SEAACA Animal Shelter and a lady brought you in as a stray.
You were so cute, and they were afraid if they put you in the back you might get sick.
I looked at Andy, he nodded, and we decided to foster you - even with the chance that someone might be looking for you.

During that period of my life I was in a very deep depression and you made me feel so much better.
I've always viewed you as my angel, and felt that you were sent here specially for me.
You have been my unfailing champion and protector, and the love of my life.
You made friends with everyone, even the cats, and when Poncho joined the family you welcomed him and loved him as if he were your long lost puppy.

You put up with me dressing you in stupid outfits - the first year here you were a pumpkin at Halloween.
You had an adorable little straw boater Easter hat that you didn't mind wearing, and you even put up with me putting doggles goggles on you.
When we went camping, you went with us.
If we were in the boat so were you, with your life jacket on to keep you safe.

You gave all of us so much love, and you never really asked for anything in return.
I hope that you felt as loved by us as we felt by you.
I'm so sorry my little girl that I wasn't here when you needed me.
I will regret that for the rest of my life.
When I found you I tried my very best and hardest to save you, but it was too late.

I've been talking to Hoppy, Scotty and Laddie, and asking them to please welcome you to Rainbow Bridge, and asked the Lord to keep an eye on you till I can join you.
Daddy and Brandon wrapped you securely in your blanket and buried you in the back yard you loved so much.
I held you as long as I could, and my arms feel so empty now.

I promise we will take care of Poncho and the kitties for you, and you will always be in our minds and hearts.
Rest in peace my precious little girl.
Rest in peace.

Love always,

Mommy

Lucien,
We miss you terribly, We love you so very much, We will NEVER forget you! You will always be in our hearts forever!!! Keep on smiling, Always be your happy self! You are such an amazing little guy!! The best dog we could ever ask for!!! You are missed buddy!!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Mellissa, Julien, Ethan, Rayvenne, Thomas, Zane, Kiki, Hannah Blais

Lucifer was my best friend. He was always so sad when I would leave the house and he was so excited when he saw me. He loved to cuddle with me and watch movies and he loved to play outside in the backyard and I'm going to miss him so much...

Shadia Jabboury

Dear Lucille, Jamie and Gizzie:

I have listed you together on the Bridge List because you lived together in your mommy's tummy and you all left this earth together from your mommy's tummy. I am sorry you never got to experience life on this earth. It can be fun but it can also be very hard, especially for sweet little feral children like you would have been. I hope you are all running and playing at Rainbow Bridge. Your uncle, Amy the Boy, just joined you yesterday. I hope you're having fun with him,I bet he will spoil you! Someday when your mommy is finished on this earth, she will join you also and then she'll get to play with the three little babies she never got to give birth to. I'm sorry, little ones, and I love you all.

Doris Doyle

Always faithful, always true. Rest now my sweet girl. Daddy will see you on the bridge.

Lucian you were a loyal, loving, lovable funny dog.
I'm glad you came into my life and I'm glad I was able to give you a home when you needed one.
You brought so much joy to my life.
I'm sorry you had to go, but I hope you have found peace at the Rainbow Bridge.
We'll always love you.

Mary DiBlasi

My most loyal friend, who loved me and whom I loved deeply.

Krystof Krakowiak

Luckie, you taught me that I was imperfect but still lovable. You taught me that I could love and put someone else first. I will always love you and miss you, my first baby, my little boy. It doesn't hurt anymore. Now you can breathe.

Joselle & Daisy Palacios

When we got Lucky he was at a pet store and 6 months old my husband was so excited about him I picked Lucky up and could smell he had ear infections my mind was just racing thoughts where like great hes sick what else is wrong with him. I told my husband to just pay them the poor dog didnt even know how to walk on a leash.We got in the car and my husband said what are we going to name him I said gosh darn lucky we took him hence the name Lucky.Lucky became more like a person then a dog.He decided he wanted the job of bringing in the news paper much to my surprise.I thought he was fighting with me over the paper becouse he had a bad rep for chewing paper.Then I decidded to give him a chance after a week he was able to bring the paper from the driveway up the stairs and in the house I almost died the day I let him out to bring in the paper and got our neighbors also.He would make this grunting noise that he learned from me I would hug him and make a noise like I was squeezing him hard.So I would tell people if he did that he liked you becouse he was hugging you.The day we took him to the vets to have him put to sleep he was in horrible pain and on the way there I was telling him he was my best boy and he was grunting to me almost like he was ready and trying to comfort me my husband started crying Lucky was telling us it was ok and he would be fine I still cry I am crying now What an amazing dog and companion He is always with me My best boy I will always love you Lucky for ever and beyond

We never could have thought that when I brought you home, this big beautiful blue eyed cat, that you would so quickly become a huge part of our family! Most of all, we couldn't have imagined what joy you would bring to our lives.Even though you were only with us 10 short months Lucky, you will forever and always remain in our hearts. We love and miss you very much! Til we meet again!

Rick Vonderheide

Lucky, you were a wonderful pet, and a great companion.
We loved you so much, and will miss you even more.
You gave us many years of happiness.
The house is so lonely without you.
I wished I could have eased your suffering at the end, but know now that you are at peace.
With all our love for eternity, Mommy and Daddy

Cindy Fisher

Lucky was my shadow.
From the day I got him he followed me everywhere, room to room outside to inside.
I loved him so very much and I know he loved me.
He was my best friend through some very troubled times.
Always there, always happy and always watching me.
We watched each other always making eye contact...He made me smile as he layed quietly keeping his eye on me.
I buried him on a beautiful knoll outside my window. I will be able to see the grave every morning and every night I can say: "Goodnight Lucky"
I miss him terribly, my heart is broken.

Carolyn

lucky is missed so by me. he was my best friend. he gave me sun on a rainy day, and when I was sick he was right there.
I will always miss my lucky. I was lucky to have him.
HE WILL ALWAYS BE ON MY BACK. I HAVE A TATTO OF HIM.

Marlene

You were the most incredible boy.
Such a kind heart who loved everyone.
I still think of you all the time.

Dayna Scarbrough

Lucky was a sweet-tempered Shar Pei that I found running the freeways of Cincinnati, Oh on 16 Apr 2003.
She was full grown when I found her, but she took to me quite easily. I tried to find her real parents, to no avail.
She suffered through a few life threatening illnesses the past couple years, but always pulled through and was as sweet as ever.
She went by many names: Lucky Docker, Luckster, Yung Chi, Pig-Dog, Fat-head, Chumlee, just to name a few. We found out she had cancer about 5 months ago, and the battle began.
We tried everything, but nothing worked.
On Nov 4, after hearing who our new president was, Lucky was relieved of her pain and disease.
She was the best dog I ever could've hoped for.
She found me that day in Ohio, and we loved each other ever since.

Cassandra Putman

Lucky, you always were "My Best Boy", and I miss you more than I can say....Please look after us -
We love you so much...Wait for us at the Bridge w/KCBear and the others....Big Hugs...Love, Mama

Until we meet again sweet Lucky - we love you and miss you.

Su Edwards

We feel a great loss of our beloved Lucky, our heart is aching this evening.
He was beautiful and smart, a very loving member of our family.
May he rest in peace.

The Walter Family

May God take care of you...words cannot express how much you mean to us...we will miss you dearly...we love you!!

Jessica, Ted, TJ, and John Michael Thasitis

Lucky passed away 10/09/2008, he was our special friend and always gave us a laugh with his antics and love when we needed it. He will be forever missed.

Jim Carrington

There are no words to describe my Lucky boy!
He was one of the most gentle, sweet, loving, nurturing companion.
He was my Bubba!
I don't think he will ever know the abundant love and joy he brought to me & anyone that met me!
He was my love light.
My gift from God. <^..^>

Debbie Hhickey

A Little Luck(y) in Our Lives

You came to us one May evening,
a little scrounge going through the garbage.
Left alone on a dark dirt road,
we considered you Lucky to be in our lives.

We discovered you were a mommy to be
who was just a baby herself.
We did what was best for you
so you could be a kitten again.

One thing we could always count on from you
was your opinion on just about anything.
You were the "talker"? of the group and
always had the last meow on everything.

Being mischievous was another trait you owned,
teasing the other furries and pushing them just so far.
Yet when it was time to settle down for the night,
you could cuddle and purr with the best of them.

As with many of the others, age took its toll
by giving you something for which there was no cure.
You fought hard and wanted to go on; your meows said so.
But your body said no, it's time to go.

Now you can be young again and not hurt.
You can chat with all who have been waiting for you.
We will miss you and look forward to the day
when we are Lucky again to have you in our lives.

Lynne & Bob Sparks

Lucky you are truely missed, we cry everyday over losing you.
I wish you were here to make us laugh and protect us. I am sorry we had to put you to sleep but we didnt want you to suffer. We did what we thought was best for you Lucky.
We will always love and no other kitty can ever replace you. You are in our hearts and prayers forever. Love your Mommy and Poppa.

Little Lucky Girl fought hard and was brave to go through so many procedures in the last 1 1/2 years to bring her epileptic seizures under control.
This beautiful gentle giant whom everybody loves is now at peace playing with all her little fur-relatives that were waiting for her at Rainbow Bridge.

Tim Hirsch

Lucky, aside from my husband yours was the greatest love I have ever known.
I hope you knew how much I loved you and I hope you didn't mind that I treated you like my baby and not like a dog.
Perhaps the fact that I never had children of my own made me treat you like a mommy and not like a pack leader, if that caused you any confusion I am deeply sorry.
I will love you forever itty bitty.

See you in heaven.
Love, Mommy

Beloved Lucky, her owner's faithful and loving kitty for seventeen years, fought to the end against VAS. She ruled our home, and our hearts.

Sunny Springer

Lucky was a wonderful cat who loved us (and, especially Jeff) so very much! During his valiant battle with cancer, he would cuddle with me and want me to rub my fsace against his for comfort. When I got upset, he would turn to me with a sad look on his face and gently place his paw on my face to comfort me!

We miss him so very much!

Donna, Walter, Jeff Lowich

LUCKY was an angel on earth as well as in heaven!

I wanted her sight unseen although she was a severely abuse cat who was left on a balcony for almost 2 weeks when her last owner decided to move down south and forget about her.
She was determined to live and that she did. Perfect in every single way possible, LUCKY continued to fight for her life right up to her second stroke.
The first stroke made her unable to use her left paws much but she somehow found the strength to start walking again. It was a few months later that she had finally became my kitty angel above.
LUCKY died in my arms on Thanksgiving Monday in 2002 but she has never been forgotten.
She is now watching over her canine brother MUDDY WATERS BEAVER who joined her on August 17 in 2006.
Soon the third addition to my family will be there also.
CHARMS the sidekick to LUCKY is 19 years old and really showing his age these days. He will be happy to finally be close to his brother and sister again.

RIP LUCKY

Always thinking about you,

Candace Davis

p.s
Watch over the boy up there with you please!

Lucky was given that name because we rescued her from an animal shelter 15 years ago.
She was very loved by all and very devoted to us.
During her younger years her favorite thing was to chase a tennis ball.
She lived a simple life.
She had a beautiful face and will be missed desperately.

Lillian Fowler

We found poor Lucky on the side of the road on 9-8-07. He stayed with us for about 3 days and he had to be rushed to the animal hospital. We later found out he had been hit by a car that we were unaware of. Later that night Lucky had to be humanly euthanized.

Courtney Reder

To my Lucky girl, I miss you so much and love you. You will be in my heart always.

Nancy

Lucky, you were the kindest, sweetest, and most gentle dog I have ever had. I am so grateful for the 10 wonderful years we had together and only wish we had more time to spend together. I hope you are in a happy place now and able to run and play like you did when you were young.

Karl Barwin

Lucky was the light of our family's life.
He came to us suddenly in 2001 in a rescue situation and was in very bad shape back then.
He weighed only 28 pounds at the time and should have been about 50 lbs.
I remember I was so scared he wouldn't survive the first night we had him that I laid beside him and didn't sleep - just kept making sure he was breathing.
Despite his hard times, he made an excellent recovery and was nothing but a sweetheart to everyone he met.
He lived in the house with us, but also loved being outside.
His favorite things were peanut butter crackers, french fries, hugs/kisses and being scratched all over.
Once he regained his health we all had a wonderful life together.
In September 2007, I took him to the vet because he was limping and in pain.
He was diagnosed with degenerative bone disease in his right hip and put on medication.
He did great until June of this year.
He began to have severe pain and weight loss despite eating well.
Back to the vet for more pain medication.
Things seemed to be improving for a few days, but then Lucky declined a little more each day.
He began to cry out in pain, even during the night, began to have lameness in his left front leg and could no longer tolerate being touched due to the pain even for hugs and kisses.
I made an emergency visit to his vet and xrays with sedation were scheduled.
My son and I dropped him off early that Wednesday morning for his xrays, and when the phone rang so soon afterward, I knew it was bad news...and it was.
Lucky had become lame due to a cancerous tumor that had eroded some bone in his neck and was putting pressure on his spinal cord and there were also two tumors in his lungs.
There was nothing that could be done.
Our vet recommended euthanasia to end Lucky's pain and suffering.
It was the hardest thing to go through with, but I knew it was the fairest thing for him.
He was allowed to come home for one last night with our family on the promise that we would bring him back to the office the next morning.
By this time Lucky had not been eating for 2-3 days and had lost 13 pounds over the previous month.
However, an angel from the Rainbow Bridge must have wanted us all to have a special last visit.
On his last night Lucky regained his appetite and ate like a king.
He ate a plate of pork roast, 2 bowls of ice cream and 2 1/2 bowls of rice and gravy.
Then, just like it happened all those years ago, I laid beside him and didn't sleep - just kept making sure he was breathing.
The difference was this time Lucky didn't sleep much either.
He just stared into my eyes as if he was trying to let me know, "Mama it's ok.
I will miss all of you too and I thank you for everything that you all have done for me, but it's my time.
I will never really leave you and I love you."
He even put his paw on my shoulder while we were lying down.
The next morning despite his lameness, he even hopped down to our creek (which he had not done in a while) and waded around a little.
I was thankful and happy that Lucky had a good last few hours at home.
He even looked out the window on the way to the vet's offfice as if he were running over all the memories of all those places in his head one last time.
I got the honor of being with Lucky as he drew his last breath.
Our family opted to bring his body home and bury him under 2 shade trees in our yard.
He could have been cremated, but I wanted him to be outside in the yard where he loved to play and I guess I needed a place where I could be with him.
It has only been a little over a week since he went over the Rainbow Bridge, but we all miss him so much.
I think I am having the hardest time, but I feel like his spirit is still around.
Lucky may have needed us in the beginning, but in the end, we feel like we were the "Lucky" ones.

We love you forever Lucky Boy,

Mama, Daddy and Tommy

you are a very special friend, mommy and daddy miss you everyday!!!

Lucky was a one of a kind!
He was an amazing little "short fat dude" who had to hobble from side to side just to get his momentum going.
We won’t ever forget his little nose greeting us through a cracked door, the fact that he was a momma's boy, or the way he just made your day a little brighter.
Lucky was the kind of dog no one could resist from the day he was rescued at the fair to when he was kidnapped by Mom from a school apartment to winning the hearts of everyone at the doctor's office. As much as Lucky will be missed, we know that he is in a better place.
He is with Melissa, Grandpa, and Grandma and we know that he will be rooting for the Cubs and will never have to worry about another thunderstorm.
We love you Lucky!

Love Always,

Mom, Dad, Champ, Markie, Heather, Trace, Stephanie, Bits N Pieces, Pepper, and Socks

You showed up at my back door as a puppy from puppy heaven.
You were big enough to intimidate but you were always gentle and humble.
You grew up with my sons and we love and miss you so much.
You knew your time was close and you left us one night as if to spare us the pain of watching you proceeded to "fly" without the pain you had been enduring.
Ifeel your spirit around us.
EVERYONE loved "ole Scooby Doo" as you were so relaxed and loving.
We learned what real trust and love is through you.
You slept beside our bed on your own bed and every night I hugged you and said goodnight.
Goodnight my companion and thank you for the love you gave us.

Patricia Stallings

MY DEAR SWEET LUCKY.... MY PRECIOUS, LOVING AND GENTLE COMPANION, DADDY AND MOMMY WILL MISS YOUR WONDERFUL KISSES AND YOUR PAW PRINTS
WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS.

Han An

It broke our hearts to lose you. The pain can never out weigh the joy you brought to us every day for nearly 13 years. Thank you so much for being so wonderful and being part of our family. Poopie dog, mommy & dad will never forget you & love you forever.

Leann & Shawn Walther

Lucky, you were such a great cat. We love you very much and will some day see you in Heaven. Your Family



You came into my life from rescue and wound up rescuing me.
It was love at first sight and, sick as you were, you loved and protected your Mom.
You held on because I could not let you go and then, when the time came, gave me your final gift - a big smile.
You will always be my special boy.
Mom

Lucky was a great dog for our family. She helped my daughter overcome her fear of dogs and protected us. She was a great friend and companion. I will miss her very much. Enjoy rainbow bridge,until we meet again.

Darren

I miss you so much Lucky! More than half of my heart went away with you. I hope and pray that we will meet again when the time is right. And we will live happily ever after.

Lova Adler

I really miss you. What can I say. I miss you badly.

Mercedes

Lucky was truly the "Best Dog Ever"
She was swwet as pie, kind and gentle with children, and protective of me.
She had to move away about a year ago, because I couldn't bear her living in an apartment.
She had a great home with my sister-in-law and her 2 dogs.
Today she was diagnosed with end-stage lymphoma, and we had to put her down.
She was surrounded by both her families, and she knew she was loved.
We love you and we will miss you, Lucky-girl.
-Mom and Dad

I will forever miss him. A cat of 13 years, he never once scratched me. We loved him, and I know he loved us back.

David, Rachael, Louise, Joseph

i rescued lucky 11 years ago, the hotel where i worked had some cats, and somebody put down poison. Lucky was in convulsions, and fell into the swimming pool. luckily a tourist pulled him out, i rushed him to the vet, and we saved his life. now 11 years later, i find him and kori dead at the side of the road,both poisoned.his nickname was mr grumpy, because he could turn on you in the blink of an eye, but he loved us! kori was an asylum seeker, who we took in, and loved too. she was the most affectionate little girl, especially with my husband. just last night she was on his lap, purring away.
i am still in shock, and can't stop crying.

Josephine Soleas

Best friend in the whole world...more than a dog...a friend, a companion, a helper, a healer.
Forever remembered and loved.

Kerri, Kevin, Kathy and Ron

Lucky, you were so brave. It's been less than an hour since you crossed over to the Bridge, and I am sick with heartache that I will not see you until I get to the Bridge with you, Max and the Wiener Boy. I know you didn't want to leave me. From the first time I saw you and your brother, when you put your paws on my leg and looked up into my eyes, I knew we would spend a long time together. You were abandoned, and it was a gift from God that you came into my life. You and your brother saved me in ways that I could never express, and I am forever grateful for your companionship and love. The vet said you should have left us a long time ago, and he was so surprised that you survived 3 cancer surgeries in your life, but you were still with us. I know you wanted to stay to be with me, especially when Max went to the Bridge last January. But, I wanted you to be out of the pain I know you were feeling, especially in this last week. Your love will be with me forever. And, you know, Dolly and the wieners (Violet, Layla and Gwendolyn) loved you, and they will miss you. Remember when the Labs, Max and Woozy, kissed you just before I took you to the vet? They already have been looking for you. Sleep, my precious little girl. Go play with Max and Blue the Wiener Boy. They will be waiting for you, and know that I will be there someday soon too. Thank you, and I love you. Goodbye, my sweet girl.

Roger Guerrero, Maxwell and Lulu

Lucky Dog,
You were the best dog in the Whole World
It was hard to see you so sick
And I try to focus on your better days with me
Days when you went to college with me
Or walked in the grapes
Or just set in my lap for hours.

I will always be grateful
For all the love and joy you gave me.
I will also be thankful that you death
Lead me to Rainbow, I Just know
You had a hand in it.

Just know Rainbow will always be
Cherished and cared for with love
And will hear the story many times
About my wonderful Lucky dog.

Someday we will all meet again
You, me, Rainbow, Princess, Ginger, Tobias and
Toby, and all the others, to live together for an entity.
Until then my sweet, sweet boy, have fun playing in
The green grass, where you are no longer blind or sick.
Stay with my Daddy, Mom, and brother David who
Will care and Love you till it is time for me to come.

Judy Brannan

Tara Asbell

I still remember the day that we got you just like it was yesterday, even though it was over 10 years ago.
I was just 8 years old.
I remember going to pick you out with dad.
I had been nagging to get a puppy for I don't know how long and Dad finally caved in.
We went to my aunt's house one sunny day to make a few phones calls about ads in the paper that were giving away puppies.
We reached this one guy who had about eight or so puppies available.
When we got there, there was a dog house surrounded by wire fencing.
As soon as the man took the wire fencing off all the little puppies ran out from the dog house all around the back yard.
I'm pretty sure there were some hay barrels in his yard.
There were two different styles of pups.
One style was white with brown spots.
The other was black with brown spots. I was fixed on getting one of the black pups.
I picked one out that I wanted but they were running all over the place, so when the guy finally caught a black pup I don't even know if that's the one I originally wanted.
I was happy with him though, then we left for home.
I quickly named him Lucky. Mom didn't know that we were getting a pup so when she came home from work that evening she was quite shocked and mad.
She quickly learned to love him though.

He was literally my best friend. He was always there.
We've been through so much together.
No matter what I did or how I acted there was always unconditional love.
I remember taking him for walks as a pup in the yard, chasing after him whenever he accidentally ran out the door, him almost getting hit by a car, washing him outside with the hose in the summer, when he ripped the hose in half by accident, playing ball with him, teaching him many tricks (sit, lay, paw, other paw, stay, catch, gentle, and what t-r-e-a-t and o-u-t-s-i-d-e meant, whenever I would say "Dad" he would run out of the living room), playing in the blanket with him, throwing snowballs, him chasing the cat around, the cat chasing him around, him being scared of the gate, the way he barked at everything, his love for table scraps and any food, the way he snored and twitched while dreaming, him sleeping on my blanket while I used the computer, how he never learned to lift his leg while peeing, his one bark to come inside the house, there's so many more memories I could just go on and on.
I mostly remember how safe he made me feel while I was home alone.
He was a great watch dog.
He was also a great comforter.
Whenever I would cry he would be right beside me.
He always had a way of making me feel so much better.

At least I know where my dog is buried and that he got to do one of his favorite things before he died, which was eat.
I just wish that I got to see him and talk to him before it happened.
He was such a big part of my life that I will never get back.

RIP Lucky, you will forever be missed and never forgotten.

June 1998 - January 2008

Lisa

you were the best cat ever and will be greatly missed. you personality was one in a million and we love you lucky

Oh my sweet little Lucky.. Rucky.. Ruckles.. Ruck Ruck.. Muck Muck.. I miss you so badly it hurts. I am so sorry that I didn't do more that day. When I left you at the Vet's I didn't know it would be the last time I ever saw you. You were a brave and strong little guy. I am sick without you. You were my best friend, and my littleboy, you always will be.

My beautiful Lucky boy. I love you and will miss you everyday.
I remember the first day I saw you.
You were the runt of a litter of 4 and 1 was already given away, 1 already called for and there you sit.
The only black and white cat in the litter.
I immediately knew you were mine and for 8 years you brought joy to me everyday.
Mama loves her sweet Lucky boy.

Lucky was a bunny that had a short life . Because he was hunted. I will hope to find to find another bunny like him. He was a baby.

Isabelle Masters

Lucky was my "wolf" and support system through the deaths of both my parents and several failed relationships.
He always seemed to know when I needed a little extra love and attention.
He was the best little guy in the world with sparkling eyes and lots of love in his 2 1/2 lb. body.
He was my best friend and confidant for 11 years.
I miss him terribly and hope that he is in a happy place eating apples and tortillas - a couple of his favorite treats.
I do know that we are still connected and I meant what I said to him in the vets office the day I we had to say good-bye.
I will never ever forget him and he was a very good little boy. I was blessed to have such a wonderful friend in my life. I love him very much and miss him desperately.

I love you my little wolf-ette<3

Denise

I know you're now with Ralph and Diamond and that you're happy I just hope that you know how much I loved you and how much letting you go hurt. Be happy rolling in the catnip

Kathy

I was given a little back cat over 17 years ago after the older woman who she was given to by a well meaning friend after her elderly cat died couldn't deal with a wild yong kitten. The well meaning friend then gave me the cat (I have not spoken to Laura in years but would like to thank her for the very special gift she gave me)

I never had a pet before and I was very nervous as I drove you home
You were scared, and meowing but also curious and very wild.

I looked forward to coming home from work to play with you.
You played with everying in sight from cat toys to rolled up paper. We almost lost you after you swallowed a dime but you were a tough girl and pulled through after surgery.

You brought us so much love and happiness. Over the years you brought us a lot of luck as we progressed in our respective careers.
After you, came Buddy the dog and then later children and other pets.
But you were my first love and always so special.

Somehow the years passed quickly and suddenly you were no longer a wild kitten but an elderly
still healthy and playful cat (who did not look her age.

Until about three months ago, I used to watch you and think that it looked like you could fly, the way you jumped from the kitchen countertop accross the room to the
kitchen island to eat and sometimes just to play.

One day you had unexplained bleeding.
A few days later we learned that it was kidney failure, the same disease that took your "brother" Buddy (the dog) five years ago.
You were fine for a few weeks.
I believed you would live unaffected by kidney failure for many
years like Buddy did.
But he was a young dog and though playful and happy you were 17 1/2 years old and suddenly overnight you became old.

Your decline started when
you
couldn't jump on the counter. Then you couldn't jump on the chair to get to the kitchen table where we moved your food.
Then you could barely walk. We were going to cancel our vacation but went ahead leaving you in good hands.
You seemed to recover while we were gone.
Then you crashed, refusing to eat.
We knew it was the end but prayed for a miracle.

I wish I could have been there to hold you at the end. We were gone one day too long. I wish I could look into those sweet green eyes again.

You truly brought us luck. Thank you for being there for me during the low points, and the high points, the sucesses, and the failures and even the fifteen minutes of fame.

I still think I see you under chairs and in corners.
I miss you so much. I hope you are flying as a cat angel now.

Susan Brown

My little boy got sick so fast.
We did everything we could because we didn't want to lose you Lucky.
I'm so sorry.
I wasn't ready to let you go and now my heart is shattered.
I miss my teddy bear, my snuggly puppy.
You are a part of my life that I wouldn't trade for anything. I hope you know how much I love you sweetheart. Newman misses his buddy. You'll see Bella and even though you didn't like her, try to be nice to her now.
She was just old. Your mama will always love you Lucky Van Allan.

Susan Allan

Little Lucky. My best friend. The day I came home from the hospital after being born you were there. And now, 13 years later, you peacefully passed away. I'm so glad that the last face you saw was mine, and that you came home to greet me after school one last time. I know you're having fun on the Rainbow Bridge
though. I love you so much. And now you're watching over me.
With love,
Aly

My beloved Lucky, Im SORRY... Im so sorry for having moved you away to brother's house for the risk of losing our home. I should have just gone against what others thought and kept you. Maybe then you would have lived a more happy and plentiful life with us. But no, I let you go... and you unknowingly went.You were so scared but you trusted our decision thinking we'd be there with you... And I was... but from far way. I visited you when I could but that was just not enough. the longer we stayed apart the older you got and the memory of us disappeared. I should have kept you. But now... LUCKY your suffering ends... this is my gift to you. Im letting you go. May the lovely angels take care of you and replenish your health, heart and soul... It hurts so much inside to see you go but I know your in doggy heaven. When we meet again can you will be snow white, running and barking with your little red collar and that little bell attached. running into each others arms just like the day we first laid eyes on each other. on sept 6th 1996-my 12th birthday... Jan 18 2008 may mark your passing, but sept 6th marks the beginning of a great trustworthy friendship. That's what i will always hold dear my heart. i will mourn your loss, but most importantly i will celebrate your LIFE. i love you My lovely LUCKY, forever will your paw prints run thru ours hearts... Til we meet again on that rainbow bridge...

Lucky was in a kill shelter in Michigan.
He was rescused by the American Brittany Rescue.
He was abused and afraid of the world, especially going to the Vet's office.
I had a baby boy brittany named Rusty.
We decided a companion would be a good idea for Rusty.
I found Lucky on the ABR website.
His story was sad and at four years old, no one really wanted him - not the right size, color, etc.
Lucky came with his foster parents in June of 2000 to our house.
He never left.
The little guy broke his leg his second night with us by falling off the bed.
He had a blue cast for four weeks.
For the next 7 or so years, Lucky was my best friend, companion to Rusty and mainly, our little boy.
Over the years, Lucky had bumps and lumps removed all being benign - Thank you God again.
But on January 2, 2008, he was coughing and we went for the last ride...he had a tumor around his heart which was not operable.
He had a month to live, if that....We made the decision to let God take him and play with him.
I miss him more than anything in the world.
My heart is broken and my best little friend is in Heaven with his brother Rusty (died in January, 2006) waiting for his forever family to come play squeaky bone with him.
What a priviledge I had for almost 8 years with a baby boy brittany named Lucky.
Now his brother, Kolby, our 3rd brittany baby looks for him around the house and watches outside the windows for him to come home.
I know God is playing with him now.
I love you My Little Lucky Dog.
Mommy, Daddy & Gene, Kobly, Max and Kloe.

Lucky gave us all so much love and joy for so many years.
We miss him terribly, but we'll always have Lucky in our hearts.
When we think of him, we'll be thinking of how he loved to chase squirrels and rabbits and of joyful abandon. Rest now my little Lucky Duck, just rest.
We'll go camping again when we get to you...

David, Kathy and Dj Barber

Lucky,brother of Baby&Bella Campbell&our son we will miss you always our special boy.

Bill & Nikole Campbell

Goodbye to the greatest friend I have ever had.
I will see you again sweet baby.
Until then, you will live on in my heart and in my head.
