Year 2008 Tributes For pet names beginning with "M".

M&M came to us when we least expected it.
And gave us the most unconditional love.
And he taught me how to love better by asking me for nothing.
But food!!!!
He was cherished and will be missed beyond belief.

Ellen & Thomas Cochran

Mackie,
I miss you little man!
You were so sweet and good.
I think about you every day, many times throughout the day.
I miss you when I need to check the mail and I can't take a walk without you.
I miss coming home to you and your little wagging tail.
I know you tried so hard not to give up and stay alive for me.
I love you.
Mona

We only had you to love for three short months but you will always be in our hearts.
You will forever be "our kitty".

Ken, Pam, Abby and Ryan

Our dear beloved baby boy left us suddenly on Tuesday, Oct. 7th, 2008.
He was the most adorable little guy in the entire world. Even though he was blind and diabetic, he never let on that he had a disability!
He has left a HUGE hole in everyone's life who ever met him.
We love you baby boy and miss you soooo much!
Much love forever, Mommy, Daddy and your sister K.C. xooxoox

Rest in peace Mac!

Michelle Lennox

Mac was so special to me that I almost don't want to have that kind of bond again with another cat. I had three cats but he and I were bonded differently than the other two.
From the first moment I saw him at the SPCA, I knew he was the one. I broke my rule about noisy cats and selected him.
When he was two, I regarded him with tears in my eyes, thinking that one day I would lose him. Then, of course, I told myself to get a grip since he WAS only TWO!
But I was right about how painful his death would be for me.
The bond between him and I is hard to explain if you haven't experienced an extra-special closeness with one pet before. Words are inadequate. He was cuddly, but many cats are. He acted as if I was the center of his universe, but that's not unique, either. He could make me laugh but other people have cats who can do that.
In the end, I can say that he brought me the most joy of any pet I've owned.

Kathy Schmidt

My Dear Sweet Mac

It's been almost a year without you. I miss you so much baby. I love you Mac

Jan

Our dear sweet Mac, we miss you so much. Life is not the same without you. I miss you by my side, you made our lives complete and gave us so much happiness.
In Our Hearts Forever
We'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.
1995-2008
Love always,
Kristin and Steven

I love you forever, my Mac-dog. I will always miss you and you will always have a very special place in my heart. Be brave until we meet again.

Carrisa Harding

We enjoyed you for 13 years and the family all
called you the godfather. You were the best dog for the children ever! Ruby will be happy to see you in heaven. You'll be together again.Mom and Dad will see you both in heaven someday. You'll never be forgotten

Mom and Dad Mac Dougall

Big Mac, the largest tabby ever, bless you darling, for your sweet nature , remembering how you sat with me and Flynn the night she died, you were so intuitive. Miss you big guy.

Rosie Bishop

My Dear Sweet Mac, It's been 7 months since you crossed over to the bridge. I miss you so much. I love you so much. Life has been umbearable without you. I hope you are healthy and whole and running around with little Scooter, Buddy and Champ and all of your new friends. You are missed so much

Mom

Mac,

You were the best friend I have ever had, a part of my heart is gone forever, you were a gentle soul that made my life better every day of the year. May God look after you and every other pup out there until we meet again. Luv you Ian

Ian Clarke

Mac is the small, strong spirit that has always challenged me to get up and keep going. The older we got, the closer we became. She loved life, while I was not always thrilled with it. I wonder what the future will bring. Stay in touch, my brave little friend.

Gretchen Unger

Macavity, Such a wild little one you were. Such a creative kitty you became. I miss your loving presence. I do think that Sydney is channeling you--he even says Mac real often. Teach them all flying tricks at the Bridge. Until we meet again, I love and miss you.

Katherine Emory

Today I made the hardest decision of my life, to let my small baby enter into rest.
He was blind and diabetic and had other serious health issues for a long time, and I cared for him the best I could.
This morning I watched him slip peacefully into rest at our vet's office.
Now I am completely lost, but I know that he is at peace.
I'll question (in my heart) for a long time whether I did the right thing, but I think it was the best choice for him (not for me).

Donna

I have sent my little MacDuffy after 10 years of love, happy and fun days on a journey to a land free from pain of his recent brain tumor. During the last few weeks MacDuffy and I did all we could to try to make him well again in hopes of a miracle. When the day arrived, we both realized it was time for him to go to a place where he could be free of his pain, and be happy again, running and playing with other doggies in heaven and be with God who will protect him.

MacDuffy I did this not because I did not love you, but because I loved you too much to force you to stay.
I so much wanted you to stay with me forever and although I am broken hearted over letting you go I wanted you to be pain free and at peace.

MacDuffy MacTavish, Daddy and I will always carry you in our hearts and minds and miss you everyday until we meet again in heaven when we can hug, kiss and be together forever and ever……

We Love You,
Mommy, Daddy and MacTavish

Please join me in a MOMENT OF SILENCE after reading this tribute to MacDuffy.

In memory of our wonderful Macey-Girl.
You were such a joy in our lives and we can't believe you are gone.
Love,
Brent, Amy, Logan, Emerson & Finley

Macey:
As I sit typing this, you have been gone just over 1 week.
I cannot believe you are not hear anymore.
Mommy, Daddy, Cati and AJ miss you like crazy.
Your 2 fursisters have been looking for you too!
I am so grateful that God gave you to us to love for almost 11 years!
You had the best personality of any cat I have ever had, always sweet and curious and loving to all, may you find peace over the rainbow bridge in heaven.
Please watch over your family here on earth!
We love and miss you terribly.
We are waiting for your urn to be engraved and then you will finally be able to come home for good.
Until we all meet again, know we are always thinking of you and sending our love!
Look for mommy's other furangels up there to help guide you, tell Brandy, Buddy and Princess that we said hi and love them!
Love always, Mommy, Daddy, Cati, AJ, Baby, Smokey, Bailey Moe and Rocky

Mac, thank you for all of the wonderful memories.
You were my big, strong kitty grandson.
I will miss you when I visit with your Mom, Dad and sister, Cuppy!
Have fun and roam free!
Mom R.

We love and miss you so much, Mac.
You were truly a blessing to us in your short nine years of life.
We miss your antics and spirit.
We can't wait to see you and cross the Rainbow Bridge together.
You can knead, kiss, head butt and be petted for eternity.
A piece of us is missing and we will never be complete until we see you again.
Love, Mom, Dad and Cupcake

You are a once in a lifetime compnion. We shared so much love and grief. No human understands me like you. I will always love you!!!!

Maggie Gellers

Rosa' sister. Very much loved. Bit at first but then never bit again and only kissed. Her death was a hard one because i knew that they were getting to that age and its hard to let something go that you love. She will be missed. Machie means Spot in Italian. She had a random black spot on her belly.

Katie Defelice

Our dog was a friend to us all, and so loved.
We will miss him terribly...

Anne

It will have been 2 years tomorrow... I think about you and miss you every day.
You will always and forever be with me.

Shelley

Macie lou was the most perfect dog ever. She was a fawn Great Dane with a cute black face. She had a strong bark, but she would lick you to death, She was a fraid of her our shadow and yet she looked so big and strong. She loved to lean on people that was her hug for us, She even it did the night she died ,she just leaned up againist my husband when he was hugging me, she was trying to get her hug in to too.We will miss her terribbly.She was so much part of our family and she always.
All our love, Karen Kristina Peter Pere

(Big) Mack - You were a loyal and obedient part of our family.
Your work as a Therapy Dog touched so many people.

You definately were a special friend.
We loved how you would take your big head and lay it in our laps.
Your 100+ lbs of love was felt when you bodyslammed into us.
I enjoyed having you lay in my office and keep me company as I worked.
But then there was time for fun.
Boy - did you enjoy those belly rubs!
You so enjoyed playing with your Kong.
I always wondered if something might break when you tossed it around the room.
You always made us smile.

Whatever was causing your unhappiness - you should be at peace now.
Go find "Murphy" and have fun playing with her.
Some day we will enjoy our walks again with our Good Dog.
Until we meet again ... know that you will be in our hearts and thoughts.

Lisa and Ian

Oh Mackie, My Little Man; I had to let you go to sleep because you were in so much pain.
I'm sorry I didn't know you were hurting until Sunday; but I got you to the doctor just as soon as I saw that you needed to be looked at.
And I'm sorry I didn't bring you home; baby boy, it was for your sake that I didn't; I would not have been able to keep you out of pain or keep you from eating or drinking until the next morning, not to mention it would have been hard for you to get in and out of the car; Momma would have never ever hurt you on purpose; you were so brave; and as you saw me leave, I know you must have though "why are you leaving me Momma"... but I had to so you would rest comfortably; you are my best baby boy; my little monkey eared dog; my little gaga baby; my best friend in the whole world who was with me through everything the past 9 years; you are so very special to me and MeMe; and PaPa loved you too.
Now you can be with Cheez and PaPa and I know you're not in pain anymore.
I wish you could have stayed with me longer, but if I would have let that happen, it wuoldn't have been fair to you because you would have hurt more.
I just couldn't let my baby boy be in pain.
We sure did get through some tough times together didn't we baby boy.
Momma loves you so much and I owe you so much; you know that, right?
I hope you do; I gave you the absolute best care anyone could ever give.
You were my best baby boy, and I love you so much Mackie.
I miss you terribly and will for the rest of my life; just like I do Cheez.
I hope you and Cheez are playing together; I asked her to take care of you and show you the ropes at the bridge.
She will; she's a good girl.
Mackie, Momma loved you more than anything else in this world; anything!
I am so so sorry that you had to go before you were ready; but I knew you were hurting.
I miss you so badly; and I cry for you all the time.
MeMe crys too.
We love you so so much.
The void in my life is large since you went to the bridge; but I know you're ok now; and I know you still love me even if you're not with me.
You never left my side... and you will never leave my heart.
Play and have fun at the Bridge with all the others there.
You were always the gate keeper baby boy... so be good for Momma, and I'll see you in Heaven with PaPa and Cheez.
I love you Mackie Mack... I love you so so much!
Big hugs and boxer slurps to you baby boy from Momma; I'll miss you always.

We love you Mack and hope you are running and playing again. We will see you again sometime, until then baby, we will miss you so much.
Love you Macky
Jackie, Kyle, Jill, little Lexy



You were my special angel and loving companion.
Thank you.

Marcy Kendrick

Kenzie, you were my best friend and the light of my life. You brought such joy into my life that I will always remember the fun filled 14.5 years you devoted yourself to me. Lonely was a word I could not use because you were always there for me; my constant loving companion. Bug I will miss you forever and always. I know that you are once again running and barking and free of pain. I know that your spirit will forever be with me. I will never forget you.

Dianne Jennings

To our beautiful "baby girl"
We will love you forever.
Till we see you again!

Jackie Williamson

Mackenzie lived a happy life, despite being epileptic and later developing arthritis in his limbs.
He was a loyal friend -- comforting family through sadness and illness as we would help him in times of need.
Kenzie's childlike wonder at a snowfall, a flower, or a baby's giggle was a constant reminder to us of the beauty this world has to offer. These and other lessons he shared remain invaluable.
At the age of 12, Mac passed on peacefully while at home. He will be missed by many whose hearts he touched on a daily basis.

Becki Boales

We will miss you, you left us too soon.

Jason & Holli

My special girl is at the Rainbow Bridge now looking down on us.
She was sick for the past 2 years suffering from diabetes which in turn made her deaf and blind.
She still had her spunk up until the end.
She will be missed deeply by us all especially by her sister Mollie who is keeping vigil at the steps waiting for her to return.

Kim Lister

Mackie was a rescue Scottie who had been neglected and/or abused.
He came into my life at age 6 afraid of so many things.
With love and patience, he blossomed every day.
He's only been gone 3 days, but he will always fill my heart with joy when I think of him trying to catch a sunbeam on the floor or laying with his head in my lap at night.
He died at 11 1/2 from a prostate tumor.
I feel blessed to have had the privilege to care for him.

Jessica Brooks

Macky, our precious Macky brought us so much joy since he came into our lives last september.
We waited all summer to get him, and when we picked him up, it was like every piece of joy in the world was wrapped up in his little heart and eyes and spirit.
Every day was better because of him. Every day was filled with joy because of him. We are so totally heartbroken that his life was cut short.
Macky, our dear baby Macky, we will miss you forever and love you forever!

Susan Parsons and Max Spears

I really miss you sweet boy. It was hard to watch you suffer that last few days, so it was a relief that you passed for that reason only. We adpoted you into our hearts and home on 5/12/07 to be with our precious Cleopatra. Unfortunately she passed on 7/27/07. In August Lillie came into your life and she loved you. She was licking you at the end. I will miss the way you weeeked for food and waited for carrots and apples. You were a lovable sweet and adorable guy. Lots of love, Mommy

MACO, You were the greatest dog.
The wildlife here are erally going to miss playing with you

John McDonald

Macracken,
You were my buddy when I first came into your human family.You stayed by my side when I was sick and even when I had surgery.You were the first one to say good morning to me and.Even though you were 15 years old,and I knew that your time on earth was completed and you finished your job very well as our watch dog,faithful friend and couch potato,snack eating tv watching friend,my heart was broken when you died from a stroke.But you are not in any pain anymore and can run around like when we first met.My heart will be filled with joy when I can see your face one day.I love you Macracken.
Love Di

She was a special little dog who made it out of the pound and into our hearts 8 years ago. She was a survivor but age could not be overcome. We will miss her much but know that she has been refreshed as she passed from this life into the next.
We see her tail wagging as she steps over rainbow bridge.

Mitch Gustamente

We love our Macy-dog and will never forget her. There is a little dachshund-sized hole in our hearts.

Amanda & David Casale

A beautiful girl, a faithful friend, she was my heart and my best pal for almost 18 years.
Until we meet again my girl, remember Mama loves you always.

Debbie Dansky

Oh how I miss our dog..She was with us before we got married..she was here when both of our kids were born..She was 13 years old..she was a rescue and at the time they said she was already a year old..The weekend came and I was so busy to think of her but come today I was desperate to find pictures of her...Then comes the crying..I love her so much and her presence not in our home anymore is somethimes to hard to bear. I had to put her down and I was with her when she passed and I just couldn't belive it..Time goes by so fast..Macy I love you my girl..Oh God how I love you and miss you,

Kim Casillas

Max was a little stray who found his way to my house (and heart) with his brother and two sisters.
It wasn't long before I noticed he was a little daredevil.
He soon became "Mad Max". He was always looking for a thrill. He was black and white and had brown eyes.
He was a precious little boy and I loved watching him get into mischief.
We miss you Max.

Tiffany Johnson

love you always

Momma, John, Petunia and Alley

I truely lost my best friend this tragic day. There will never be another Dane like Mable. I miss my little girl so much.

Cindy Allen

Maddi, my heart aches for you, i miss you so much. I miss the feel of you curled up on my lap. I miss waking up and feeling you pressed against me. I miss coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower and finding you sitting at the door, waiting for me. I miss looking out in the backyard and seeing you lying there, smiling and squinting in the sun. I miss placing my face beside yours to see what you are looking at out the window and you reaching over to give me a lick. I miss finding Doggie dragged out of my bedroom into the hallway and knowing you put him there for me to find. I miss smiling at your bouncy little bum on our daily walks.

I love you, sweetie. Thanks for everything you taught me and for loving me and Ru and Jannie and Penni and Shaggy for all of your 16 years of life. It is remarkable how the loss of one little dog could leave such a big hole in our hearts.

Wendy

You will always be our 'girl', Maddie.
Thank you for just being you.
Our hearts are broken, but we know you are in a better place, with no suffering.
You passed away on mom's birthday, and that has special meaning...we love you in the deepest sense of the word and our lives will never be the same without you.
Ike and Jolie-dogs will miss their big friend.

Marie, Marc, Alex and Hannah

Maddie was my friend, my companion and the love of my heart and I miss her so much!
I'll keep her frisbee safe until we meet again.......

Debi LaVoie

You were such a wonderful dog.
I am glad that we had you in our lives even though it was only for a short period of time.
To find out you had such a horrible cancer only a short time after your birthday tore us all apart inside.
We were very lucky that you were strong enough to stay with us for as long as you did with the cancer.
You are a very special dog and we cannot wait to see you again at the bridge, but until then play to your heart's content.
We miss you so much!

Amanda, Sally, Bill, and Lee Pullen

So loved, so missed, so painful a loss, I want you back so much little girl. It hurts. We all loved you. You were so special.

Anne Heppingstone

i miss you Maddie girl my 1st real good friend xoxoxox

Angus

Maddie you left your pawprints all over my heart

Andrea H

Maddie, dear Maddie, I did love you so,
and I was deeply saddened, when I had to let you go. To have had you in my life, I know I was truly blessed, but now you’re in pet heaven, where beloved Maddie rest.

Farwell Master, yet not farewell
Where I go, ye too shall dwell
I am gone, before your face
A moment's time, a little space
when ye come where I have stepped,
Ye will wonder why ye wept.

I love you with all my heart.
You were such a special baby girl.
And I will never forget what you did for me.

Tracey and Sheldon Eirich

My only and best friend, my love, my constant companion... farewell my love, we'll see each other in heaven.

Dave Bowers

We miss you terribly Maddie but we know you are running and playing again with no pain. Our hearts are filled with sadness but we know we will be together again someday and will spend eternity together.
We love you with all our hearts Maddie and always will!!!!!

Sue & Ron Dibeler

Maddie you were and always will be my baby girl. We all miss you so much.
You were such a great dog, companion and best friend.
My heart aches because of missing you but I feel comfort in knowing that you are now out of pain.
Until we meet again...love you.

Erin & Bonnie

We miss you Maddie and are so happy that you are in a better place.
We love you!

Jaime & Chris

We just came back from putting our beloved Golden Madeline Maddie to sleep.
We just learned a couple of days ago she had cancer that had spread to lungs and her eyes.
She is truly the gentlest soul I have ever known.
She was just shy of 12 years old.
She was the constant companion to our Shetland Sheepdog Cherokee, who has recently become deaf.
So Maddie was Cherokees hearing dog as well.
What a hard thing to do. We could not wait any longer as she had started turning away most food.
The very thing she loved the most. We will always love her and miss her terribly already.

Deeann and Peter

Maddie was truly my angel. She was mine and mine alone, she was happy as long as she was by my side. She was not a dog, she was my best friends and soul mate. I had 6 beautiful years with her. Her last big seizer finally took her from me. My heart aches and my tears fall day and night. That beautiful creature has forever changed my life and I will never be the same. I love her with all my heart and soul and I know she loves me too.

Maddie you will always be the love of my life and my best friend. You changed my life and I will always miss you and never forget you. Please wait for me and I hope to see you again my precious angel. I love you so much.
Rest in peace my love

Crystal Medina

Maddie Moo, I did do a message for you the day after you passed on but it musnt have sent, so here is another one.

Every day we think of you and every day I shed a tear, you have left such a space in my heart that I dont think will ever go away.
You were my life baby and I miss you so so much.
Coop dog grieves for you aswell, we all love you so much.
rest in peace darling, until we meet at the bridge.

Love mummy and cooper

Ps We have had a cross made and a memorial grave at Nannies farm where you loved it so much.

God bless missy moo, you will never be forgotten.

Maddie was the BEST dog ever.
There will never be another like her.
She had such a personality and loved EVERYONE.
In turn, everyone loved her.
She is truly misses by everyone who knew her.
WE love you and miss you more than you could possible know Maddie-girl!

Mick, Sue, Kelli and Vince Mostek

Mommy loves you forever, Maddy. I am so sorry I could not help you. I will miss you everyday until I see you again. You were the best friend and companion I have ever known. You were such a good boy. Grandma, Larry, and Daddy love you and miss you, too. You are so loved and greatly missed.

Katie Jones

She had problems getting up & down,she was limping,and moved slowly.When you would drive up she would get as close to the front wheel of your car.

So when my Grandpa was driving up he did not see her and accidentally ran over her.

Haley Dixon

we miss and love you

Jeff, Jessica, James, Jack, Vince

To my dear Maddy you were my first daughter. I miss you so much. Whenever i come home I miss your tail thumping and the empty bread bag on the floor.
You were the kindest and most gentle dog I have ever known.
I hope you are running and playing happily with those ears flapping in the wind.
We love and miss you so much.
Love, Mommie, Daddy,Julis, Megan. Katie and your pal Mel

Maddy,
You were the most amazing dog ever.
Thank you for getting me through the lonely years.
You keep me happy and hopeful.
12 1/2 years was not enough.
I hope you know how much your whole family loved you.
You were an angel sent from God to watch over me until Dean came.
I hope you know how much I appreciate all you did for me.
Words cannot express how much my heart hurts, but I know I will see you again.
I know I told you this over a million times, but you were "an angel baby sent from God and I love you!"
Love Mommy

My precious little kitty. It was 14 years ago when you picked us as your family. You were such a dignified, tiny little lady.
Who knew you were already 8 years old.
You battled bravely through cancer even when they said you would leave. But naw not you, we were blessed with your purr for 5 more years.
Everyone says 22 is old for a cat but I don't think it was anywhere near long enough.
My little baby, I love you so and I can't wait until I hold you in my arms again.

Phyllis House

Madeline was my little girl, and even though she was sixteen, she still felt like my baby.
She had the sweetest spirit and will never be forgotten. I remember when she came to live with us, and immediately seemed to feel right at home. She loved to play and be chased, and would roly poly on the floor when she felt good. She loved to go walking, and could ride endlessly in the car without any complaints. She would lay next to Buster our mixed chow/basset and seemed so at peace at those times. I am so sad now that she is gone, and miss her everyday. I pray to see her healthy and playful again one day. I love you sweet baby girl, be at peace with Jesus.
Peggy

My sweet little Maddie had to leave me today, almost exactly six years from the day we met.
During those six she provided me with unfathomable love and support.
My heart aches horribly for my cat.
I miss her and will remember her forever.

Nancy

You were the best cat. I miss you so much. You were my best friend.

Monica Schneider

I'm sorry Maddie and I miss you. But I know you are better off now and that you are in a better place. Jade misses you too.

Emily

Dear Maddie,

We loved you so much, and miss you so much!!
The last four months were a constant struggle for you, and today, Dr. Kirmyer finally admitted that you were even worse than yesterday, and that the kindest thing we could do is to let you go.
It has truly broken our hearts, but look forward to meeting you again.
You will always be our first "baby".

Love,
Mom, Dad, Laura and Adam, Gram and Pap (and Badger)

Madelyn Anne brought love and joy to everyone who came in contact with her.
I miss her terribly and my heart is broken.
I cannot wait to meet her at the bridge.

Pam

My sweet girl. I know that you can now see the sun instead of just feeling it's warmth. I know that you can now hear the birds and your own voice when you bark. I hope you are running and playing as you did many years ago before aging and cancer took their toll. I miss you and love you. Thank you for being my girl.

Stephanie

Adelle til we meet again

Carla Pundsack

Faithful friend and beloved companion. You have travelled a lifetime with me and my heart aches for you.

Ann Turner

Maddie, you came into my life in time of turmoil and brought me love and happiness. Your beautiful eyes told me all there was to know about friendship and forgiveness. The UPS drivers loved you and laughed at your barking greetings. You made so many friends on our walks and you were so patient with all the children who loved to hug you. Some of your friends have already asked about you and they have voiced what "a beautiful girl" you were. Your Dad misses you too. If only God would have let you stay a little longer, but I was glad you were able to come home for a few days. I know you are in a great place and running and chasing cats and squirrels. I hope you are with Brandy, ask her to share her cookies with you, we know how much you love them. Thank you My Love!

Grandma Pat

Madison was well loved.
He was such a great friend to his family.
We will miss him dearly.
Its only been one day but it seems like an eternity that he has been gone.
I know that he is at peace and will never hurt again.
For this I am greatful.
I am glad I got to spend a wonderful ten years with him.
Madison I know you are happy.
You are finally outside were you have always wanted to be.
I will see you one day and can't wait to have you come leaping towards me as they say in the Rainbow Bridge poem.
I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS!!!

Lisa Woodard

Dear Madison,

You came to me when you were already 2-1/2 years old, picked out for me at the kennel since there's no way can I go and look at 100 dogs, all of whom want to be taken home.
The choice was most fortuitous; we were made for each other, in character and likes.
Except for one thing:
your motion sickness.
It prevented you from going on car rides and sniff the great outdoors you loved so much, and kept you from going sailing with me.
What a pity; I had to have the dog sitter come by or put you in the kennel, which you hated.
As "penance", I took you for nice long walks.
When you saw the leash was the only time you wiggled your body; otherwise you never jumped up or wagged tail or romped with other dogs.
A beggar, a Cookie Monster.
You were such a restrained, quiet, calm, friendly in a stand-offish way, mild, dog, good through and through.
You were my sweet, quiet Madison, the gentlest dog ever, the Lady.

At the end, you deteriorated quickly and it was a torment for me to watch.
I don't think that feeling of helplessness which possessed me then will ever leave me.
Your muscles wasted away quickly, your appetite went screwy, you wouldn't eat. I can only hope and pray that despite these symptoms, you were not in pain.

I love you and I miss you and I hope you are doing well in Doggie Heaven, getting all the cookies you want, and Angels taking you for nice long walks.

Your Mama

My soul mate, my special girl who shared her gift of unconditional love as a Therapy Dog for 10 years with sick children and adults, with homeless children and anyone else who came in contact with her. I miss her physical presence so much, the nudge of her nose when I stopped petting her, the leaning in against my legs, known as "The Madison Hug."
I love you sweet girl and always will.

Maggie

Dear Madison,

It has been one week since we lost you. We miss you so much our hearts are broken. Although we are so grateful to have had 10 years with you we just cannot believe that you are gone. You were so special to each one of us and we will always miss your goofy smile, wagging tail, and utter zest for life. You meant even more to us than we could ever have imagined. The house feels empty and quiet without you. We hope and pray you are happy and know how much we loved you!

Andrea Wong

Madison was always full of sunshine and silliness.
He brought joy to each and every day.
He has joined his beloved Oliver and Chelsea at the Rainbow Bridge.

Laurie F

She was the best friend I ever had. In the end, she looked me in the eyes and let me know it was okay tolet her go. Now the suffering is all mine, here without her.

Dana

To my Little Man, my
Best Boy, my Main Man, my Man-Boy:
I will always love you. I miss your little face, your spirit and your essence.
You are still a huge presence in my life.
I see you everywhere. I know that letting you go was right and the best for you but it was the hardest thing I've ever done.
Thank you for being you and for teaching me the meaning of unconditional love. God speed, Madison.
Find Nicki, ok?

Sharon Calderone

My sweet baby girl, how we miss you already! Life was always on your terms, not ours. You brought class and dignity to your role as alpha. Quite a ways from the shelter where I found you. No one would ever call you beautiful, but you were to me, and I loved calling you my pretty girl. We will never forget your unique "happy face" ritual, and the song will never be the same. We know you had to leave us, and you're no longer in pain. For that we are grateful...but we will miss you all the days of our lives. Sleep well, princess. You are loved.

Deb, Greg & Evan McCleary

To my woderful beloved friend. My heart will be empty until we are reunited in heaven again. I miss you and I will always love you. You are forever my pretty girl and my freckle head. Play and have fun with Ruby, Jack, Candy, Gigit and Bootsie. Granddad knows how much I love you and will watch over you until I am there with you. Peace be with you play and have fun and promise to come and take me with you when my time here is done. I love you always and forever my Madison.

Mindy B. Brooks

Madison, I don't know how I will live life without you.
You have been my constant companion and best friend and I can't come to terms with you being gone.
You were my shoulder to cry on, my strength...I hope that I was the same to you.
I tried to be the best friend to you right up until the end and I hope you realize that my final gesture to you was done out of love, because I would rather you be here with me.
I hold you close to me dearly and do not know how I will learn sleep without you beside me...
I hope you have found peace and please know that you are not alone, you are ALWAYS with me and I hope you know the ache we all feel over you lose.
I love you my sweet baby and life will never be the same without you.
Please be happy and look down on us always.
Go run and be happy with Rex and Bandit and find my Bubbie's and Zaidie's and they will care for you until we one day meet again.
I will look for you my sweet baby...don't you doubt that! And don't worry about me, I will somehow find a way to be strong and make you proud.
You have given me so much, I love you baby....rest in peace!

Mommy, Daddy and the boys and Caffrey

Madison is and always will be our best friend. We cannot offer any higher praise to anyone for being such a such a loyal, faithful friend; a totally selfless creature whose only care in the world was to be at our side and loved us both unconditionally.

Please try and do something kind for an animal in Madison's name, or make a donation to the American Humane Society, or if you can care for a dog, adopt one from a rescue league and love and cherish each and every second with them as your own children.

James & Tammy Reynolds

Dear Maddie Your were the life of the house We will never understand why you were taken from us so fast. You will always be Moms favorite

Love Mom. Dad Karrie, Jen



Madussa was a beloved sister to Harley, Sappho and Reno. She lost Sappho 1.5 years ago when Sappho was sick to carry on, her brother Reno was seperated from her during a divorce and her older brother Harley continues today. Madussa was the sweetest dog a person could love her tail and entire backside would shake the house with joy, I even got use to the drool landing everywhere. Falling asleep to her snooring was difficult at first but now I cannot sllep at night without it. Madussa loved her squeeky toys , her walks and her family. R.I.P my baby I love you and you will be in my heart untill I pass on and I can only pray that you and your sister Sappho, Harley ( whenever its his time all come down together to be my angels and take me with you all for eternity. Thanks Madussa you have taught me to be a better person and learn what unconditional love is.

Brad Bergman

Maerdy you were the best and most loyal friend I have ever had, The fun times we had and the comfort
& love you brought to me when I was down will be treasured for ever.
Your passing on to the the Rainbow Bridge has ment a big
big part of my life has gone and you are sorely missed.
The pain you suffered in your old age has now gone and you have the relief to enjoy your afterlife

Andrew

Dear Maestro,

It just seems like yesterday we rescued you as a baby.
From our little scaredy cat you developed into a loving and trusting little boy who gave your dad and me so much love and enjoyment.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and the rest of my kitty angels.
I miss so much your
presence next to me on my pillow each night.
Pouncer mourns his little buddy so much and always go to the places where you played and napped.
Maestro play with all my other little rescues that have gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
I will meet all of you there and we will forever play together.

Dad and I love you so much.

Your mom and dad,
Richard and Susan Wootton

To the smartest, most adaptable, loving pet we have had the privilege to have as a wonderful pet companion. We love you and will miss you horribly.

Cheryl and Paul Kolb

Magellan, "Jelly", was our "Little Man". He came to us out of nowhere in January of '98. He had been found wandering in a cornfield during a winter storm in Kenosha WI., some 27 miles north of where we lived then in Illinois. My husband just happened to go to a Petsmart, near our home to buy some dog food, when he walked past the cat room and there was "Jelly" just sitting on the window ledge like, "So, took ya long enough!" We weren't even considering adopting any other animal, much less a cat! But we did and he moved right into our hearts for the next 10 1/2 years. Then, on 9/1/08, I let him out as I have done every night these past 10 1/2 years and he just simply... never came home.
I feel so empty and devastated without you.
Jelly-man, thank you for your love and I've asked Mom and Sam, and Aggie, to take good care of you until I come back home again someday. they'll love you as much as we did.
I love you and I'm very sorry if our letting you out caused your death, but you were meant to lie in the sunshine and feel the grass on your belly.
Hey Mom, he likes to sleep near you and doesn't like his tummy rubbed. But scratch him behind the ears and sing him a song and he'll be yours forever. I miss you too Mom.

You were so peaceful as you went to sleep in my arms for a final time, having fought such a courageous fight on so many fronts for so long, never complaining.
In the process you became an inspiration for many who marveled at your will to live and love so completely with that waggy tail of yours and those big brown eyes!
There's a tremendous hole in my heart, baby girl.
You were so very special and touched so many. Now you're whole and healthy and hopefully having a wonderful time running around with all your brothers and sisters who preceded you. I will always love and miss you,until we meet again at the bridge.

Mommy

Maggie was more than my dog, she was truly my companion.
She was always there with an open ear and a smirk.
I know that she's in a better place.
Thank you, Lord, for taking her quickly with no pain.

Jimmie and Sarah Beasley

We miss you greatly.

Dayna Arnold

I love you, Maggie.
You were and always will be my little girl.
You came into my life from a greedy man who tried to profit from you and he treated you horribly.
Although I was your 3rd owner in your 1 1/2 years of life, we had a wonderful 2.5 years together.
I am so sorry, Maggie, that your early death was due to the greed and profit of human beings.
I love you, little girl, and I always will.
My heart is broken and I miss you terribly.
I promise to spread the word for people to not contribute to puppy mills and backyard breaders.
I also promise you, Maggie, that I will help spread the word for people to spay and neuter their pets.
I love you, Maggie.
You will forever be my little girl.

MOMMY (Lisa)

Maggie, our "Girlie", my "Dolly", was a very sweet little dog. We will miss her and all the ways she enriched our lives. Her body finally gave out and she had to be spirited away from this life but she will never be gone from our hearts and thoughts as she rejoins her companion Sparky Schnauzer in her next life. We miss you girlie!

Hurley and Janis Powell

Dear dear Maggie, pure sunshine - bouncing joy. You made the dark times bearable and I will miss you every day. Good bye sweet baby, my good friend, my precious pupper-dog.

Chris Garcia

Maggie was our 4th Brittany and lived generally in a home with adults. However when grandchildren came,she was wonderful with them. She welcomed all the hugs and love they gave her. They are all grieving too. When we took her for walks, all the neighborhood children also fell in love with her and when they saw her would call her name and run to greet her. I am dreading Halloween when they come trick or treating and ask for her as they always do. One little girl asks her mother if she can come to our house and ask if Maggie can come out and play. Even with the pain and difficulties of old age, she still loved children.

Susan Doig

Funny, loved by all.

Murray Wood

We lost our beloved female golden, Maggie, at age 9 due to auto immune disease. One morning she could not stand up -- she was gone in 3 days although we tried everything possible. Now over one year, I am finally able to write a tribute to a sweet girl that our hearts will never ever forget.

Several years after Maggie acquired US (she will remain the best Christmas gift I have ever received), we rescued a male golden, Chopper. He drove Maggie crazy but they definitely were true best friends. She was so very special. A lady stopped once and said Maggie saved her life. She stated she was in a severe depression but when she would pass our home and see Maggie's zest for such a simple thing as catching tennis balls off the roof she realized there was joy to be had in life, no matter what had happened to her. Like many, we lost our home to Hurricane Katrina and every temporary home that followed was selected based on suitable accomodations for our dogs. Three years later we rebuild our home and repaired our swimming pool. Maggie died just weeks before its completion and our return to HOME - she loved swimming in that pool. We cried the day the pool was reopened but we know the only home Maggie ever wanted was with US, no matter what city or state. She will forever be in our hearts and in our home, no whatever where life takes us. We have just recently taken in another golden, a resuce that spent 3 years of her life on chain, a sweet very small girl we now call Kasey. She will never replace Maggie but feel in some way by sharing our love and home with Kasey, it pays honor to Maggie for the devotion, love and joy she gave us.

Steve and Debby Rosenberger

Maggie, mommy misses you.
You became so special to me your last year.
Are you eating plenty of carbs, baby?
Have you taught Jo to swim yet?
I miss you!
My time was too short.
Your life wasn't done.
I wasn't done loving you here.
Now I can only love you in memory. And I have wonderful ones.
Thank you, Mags.

Tara

We rescued Maggie when my daughter was just 8.She's 17 now,and essentially grew up with Maggie. We (daughter,husband,myself) are dealing with the loss in our own ways,but all suffering from broken hearts.
Maggie was SO beautiful,she was so loving and so smart.And she was LOVED.She was an indoor/outdoor dog,knew every inch of pasture and woods around our home,and slept on the bed with us every night. I can barely grasp the notion that she's really gone.She was truly a member of our family.But even though we are devastated now,I know,without a shadow of a doubt,that we will reunite with her in Heaven.That's where we are finding our comfort,as well as in remembering the love,comfort,and amusement she gave us.
Maggie,we will ALWAYS love you,forever.

Jill Freeman

It seems like only yesterday that you passed away. I think of you often and miss you very much! One day we will be together again!

Jerry Jackson

Maggie my precious baby has gone missing 4 days ago.
Our neighbor saw a coyote with something in its mouth, that i beleive was Maggie.
She never left me, until now.
My heart breaks my stomache turns as i think of her.
She was my best friend when i had no one, she loved me like her mommy.
She kissed me endlessly.
Rest in peace babies. I love you always.

Tammy Beaton

We miss you, sweet girl.
Thank you for your unconditional love.
I miss your kisses and your snuggles.
I hope you are having fun chasing bunnies and playing with all your fur friends. We will always love you.

Jennifer, Jason, Myra, Bob, Jake and Molly

Maggie lived a charmed & pampered life.
She wanted for nothing-ate the best foods, had prompt medical care & loving human companionship everyday. For 11 years we were honored to know her. Maggie had joint problems for the last few years but was managed without pain.(just some stiffness) She only felt bad for about a week & seriously ill for 1 day. Her loving Doctor put her to sleep before the pain set in. She had multi-system organ failure due to old age. We miss her terribly.

Debbie Cooper

A tribute to the sweetest dog ever.
We miss your loving presence in our home.

The Roberts Family

Our sweet little Maggie-you left us too soon. You gave us so much love. We miss you so much. Mommy misses you always in my lap,by my side, in the crook of my legs at bedtime. Grandpa will miss holding you in his arms when he visited. You had something special for each one of us and we all miss your kisses. We loved you so much! We'll see you again someday. Mommy, Daddy, Rebecca, Andrew, Erin, Grandma and Grandpa

Maggie: you will be so dearly missed. You were such a loving, constant companion. I will miss your begging, crying because you were so excited to see us when we got home, hissy fits, snoring loudly as I was trying to sleep and most importantly, your love & compassion. I will never forget you my friend!!!

Collins Family

Maggie was an intelligent and special friend. We both loved her dearly for the comfort and friendship she gave us.
She departed suddenly and we will miss her dearly for all the memories that she gave us.
May you be happy whereever you are until we meet again.

Mo El-Hawary

My sweet, sweet Maggie.
I can't believe it has been a week since I lost you.
You will always be my best girl.
I love & miss you so much.
I will see you again someday.
Please wait for me.

Love,
Mom

See you soon Darling Girl...take care of Jack and Katie

Barb Garrett and Pat

Maggie was my companion, my little-love, my light.
When she took ill with FIP a month and a half ago, it was like part of my world went dim.

She went in her last days, without wanting to be touched or held; but today - the day we took her in to be put to sleep, just hours before hand, she looked up at me and purred.
It was a sound I hadn't heard for such a long time, and greatly missed.

She lived her last days in so much pain, and although my heart is broken; I am happy to have been able to have her as long as I did, and to love her enough to recognize when the pain was to great to bear.

Although her body no longer carries life, her memory will remain with me always.

I am so sorry, my dear Maggie - that you had to experience so much pain. If I could have taken it on myself, I would have.
I did the next best thing.
I love you.

Elleigh Witkie

Maggie,
Thank you for the wonderful years. You brought me and everyone you encountered joy. I am eternally thankful that you and I were brought together. I miss you all the time but I have so many memories to keep me smiling and laughing. I find comfort in knowing we will be together again and in all the fun times we shared. I love you, Fuzzy Face.
Mom

Maggie was the star of our own sitcom – she managed to inject enough chaos to keep us on our toes and keep us laughing.....from every up-rooted houseplant, to eating the couch, to dragging both mother and mother-in-law down the steps anxious for a walk (and breaking each of their ankles - on separate occasions!)

She was our personal trainer, our nurse, our assistant chef, our personal bed-warmer, my main photography subject, first mate of the Regal Boat, and co-captain for every road trip back home. She was our therapist when we had a bad day, she was my partner in crime (she knew every new shoe I bought and never told my husband), she was his right-hand for every home project (although they never did manage to fix the dryer).

She kept us humble, while teaching us patience (A LOT of patience!!).
She taught us to live in the moment – to live each day as the new day that it was and to take time to roll in the grass, chase bird shadows, play in the sprinkler, go for a swim or just run circles in the yard.

We are changed forever for the better because of her...because of our "smiling dog".

Kathy Kuhl

Maggie was such a special dog, I wish she was still here with us.
We miss her so much, I want to hold her and twirl her ears just one more time.
I guess it'll have to wait until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge.

Maggie you are loved.

Linda and Steve

Dearest Maggie:
Amy, Gram and I miss you so much.
All you wanted was to cuddle and be loved; and I'm so sorry I let you out that night and that tragic accident happened.
We'll always love and remember you.
You're the best.

Jean O'Sullivan

Maggie was a wonderful an loving little dog.
She followed me everywhere and was the best companion.
She had her lttle Jack Russell quirks but they only made you laugh.
Rest in peace my dear little girl.
May God comfort you on the other side until my times comes and I join you.

Karen Rick

Maggie was a wonderful companion to my mom and stepfather.
She was also the playmate to her sister Lucy also an Airedale.
Maggie loved running on the 20 acres, swimming in pond, chasing chipmunks and wading in the fish ponds.
She passed away suddenly and went peacefully.

Kay

Maggie, you were our best friend and companion.
We loved you dearly, and will forever miss you.

Jack Levis

Loved this little girl who came into our lives to heal the loss of our Nick and Sugar. She was and is a most important part of our lives.

Barb & Link Rickenbacker

The love you gave me was the love I will aways remember and never forget. See you at the bridge. Love Dad.

Maggie was the ugliest puppy I had seen in along time when I got her 14 years ago, she turned out to be the best friend, listener and all around greatest furbaby I have ever had.
She saw me thru a marriage, pregnancy twice, my saddest moments and my biggest joys, she put up little boys "loving" her a little too hard and never once did she offer to growl,nip or be ugly in any way.
She loved everyone and frequently visited our neighbors when she got bored.
She had 13 good years of life and may her spirit remain with me forever.

Sherri

She was not young when she came to us and she needed lots of love, but she gave back so much more than she got.

Go in peace, gentle spirit.

Carl, Toni, Diana Bagwell

Maggie was a loving, friendly Miniturae Schnauzer who made everyone her friend. Maggie was the big sister to Lucy.
She was loyal, attentive and beautiful.
Maggie enjoyed sitting in the kitchen eating lots of veggies as I made salads; she loved to lay on the bed Sundays while I ironed clothes and would sit in the front window with Lucy to guard the house and bark at passers by.
Maggie was taken from us too soon because of cancer.
We will always love and miss her and she will be in our hearts forever.
She was brave and good till the end.
May God bless your little soul and keep you in his loving hands.

Loretta Ziolkowski

Maggie was a very loving, caring dog....daughter, sister, companion.
She was our greeter,our protector, the world's greatest at hide and seek, and at just being there to ease a bad day.
She will always be missed. We love you Maggie Mae!

Rick, Julee, Logan and Summer

Maggie has been with me for 8 years of my life. It was when we moved to a new house, that we got her. So without her here now, things are strang. She was a beautiful, amazing dog. Even though she was annoying at times, i will forever forget those and remember the good. Shes only been gone for a few hours now, but i already miss her. But she has been put out of her pain and suffering and i hope she can be with my grandpa in heaven. RIP Maggie, I love you!

Kaitlyn

She gave us all her love after leaving the track.
once again she will be a geyt gray. Run free with Faith,
Blue, Norman, Tara, and Curly Sue

Beverly E Price

Maggie was a wonderful dog.
She truly lived to serve.
She found our family and spent the next 8 years guiding me in various directions.
She was loving, playful, gentle and smart.
In the end she knew I could not make the decision necessary and at the time of my greatest weakness she stepped in and made the decision for me as she took her last breath.
I will miss her until we cross the bridge together.
I love you Mags!

Patricia Hyde-Laudano

Our little swetie.
You are missed every hour of every day.

Andie & Dale

Maggie the Lhasa has crossed the Rainbow Bridge...she was a good little girl her whole life...companion to Alex and Gator.

Maggie, you almost made it to age 17!

We miss you Mags.

Sandra Jude

Maggie was an energetic bundle of fur who loved Mommy and Daddy with all her heart. We miss her terribly.

Jan and Joel Lorentz

We all miss you baby... We'll meet again

Jim Ketchum

Mag was the best dog in the whole world. She never left my side. I couldn't even go to the bathroom without her sitting next to me! She was so fiercely loyal and sweet. She was such a huge part of my life. It is so empty now without her - I will miss her forever.

Deb Krohn

Oh my little Maggie Girl, I miss you so much.
When I lost you, I lost my best friend.
When you were just a puppy a friend told me you would never be a lap dog.
Oh how wrong they were.
You not only were a lap dog, you gave me wonderful hugs.
How I miss you putting your arms around my shoulders and burying your little head into my neck.
I love you so much Maggie.
I miss our mornings alone together and our walks.
I miss seeing your big brown eyes.
It seems so empty here now.
My heart feels like a huge chunk has been ripped out, but it helps knowing you will never have any more seizures.
Rest my little girl; rest peacefully.
I love you!
Mom

The best cat ever!!
There will never be another one like her.
Miss you terribly, but we have wonderful memories and we are thankful for each one.

Chris & Kim Burton & Lacy

Maggie was a very special girl! She was very bossy. She told us what to do and when to do it. She loved to go for rides.We took her just about every place we went. All we had to say lets go for ride and she was ready. Loved her treats!
She recently got a new brother Cody(Bichon). She was very upset. She had been the only one for so long. But she did learn that he was here to stay and finally began to like him!!
He misses her so much. has only been a day and he is looking for her everywhere. We will miss our Maggie forever. We are having her cremated. Cant wait to get her home with us again.

Dave & Kathy Dalton

To the stinky maggie! today was such a hard day for a lot of people that love you! It is so sad to see you go so soon! Your mom loves and misses you so already! You will always be remembered! Watch over your mommy! We love you!

From Aunt D & Cousin Rosie

You will be missed!
You are loved and your memory will live on!

Mary Robbins

Dear Sweet Maggie,

My baby girl. I love you more than you will ever know. You are the most beautiful animal I have ever known. You were always there for me and I am glad I was able to hold you while you took your last breath and be there for you.

And even though you have only been gone for a few short hours, it feels like forever. My heart is broken and there is a space that will never be filled by anyone else.

I love you baby girl
Mom

Maggie, You were my best friend and my life for 20 years.
I loved you when you were here and love you still.
Mommy will see you again.
Please give Dallas and lick for me and tell him I miss him still as well.

Lisa Williams

maggie was our best friend she was one of our children and she will be greatly missed.but i will see her again someday

William

Maggie was a real love, She was the smartest dog in the world, Aunt Rose said, "Maggie has the biggest vocabulary any dog ever had". "I'm 95 and I know"! She was right, we couldn't even spell around her, she knew! She was the fun loving dog a human could have, kids, cats, friends, The only people she didn't like, were bad guys! She watched them, better stay away bad guys, or I'll tear you up! No body is gonna hurt her family! She tried to fight that lymphoma, got one more year of fun, but it was to hard on her in the end. She laid on the table at the vets, looked into our eyes as they tried to give her the meds, her veins had been blown out by chemo. It was hard, trying all the veins to get one to work. She didn't move, just laid sweet and quite. She always wanted to please us and everyone around her. She knew it was her time, we could tell, we held on to her, Mike kissing her face, me holding her big chest, stroking her neck, kissing her velvet ears, letting her spirit fly away, free to go to Heaven. She's with all the others we love, jumping, playing, no more pain. We're sorry bestfriend in our life, we wish we could keep you forever and ever. We had to let you go, that's what you do when you love. God Blessed us with you for 10 yrs. Now you're being Blessed for doing a job well done, faithful servant! Never to be replaced! We miss you girlfriend, our first night without you. It hurts. Your bed is empty, your water bowl filled with fresh water, your treats waiting for you. We can't stop crying, are you crying too? I hope all you get is good times, no more sad times ever again. Go get some lovin from Uncle John, I'm sure he's looking for you up there, just rottie talk, he'll find you! Good-Bye for now girlfriend, hugs and kisses from, Mom,Dad, Amy,Gregg,Rick,Katiepooh,Cody,Rose,Joni,Patti,Jake,Joey,Even Peggy! Jane,Butch,Kelly,Erin,Meg,Scott,Melody,Max,Danny too? So many people loved you, the list is tooo long! Your in Heaven now...Enjoy..no leash laws there!!!!

Maggie you were the best dog. I will miss you. I know that you are looking down on us, and taking care of us. I can't wait to see you again.

Amy

May you rest in peace! We will always love you! May you be pain free and be able to run again.

Kim

I CARRY YOUR HEART WITH ME(I CARRY IT IN MY HEART)

Rhoda Watson

My "Maggie" (Majic Interlude), you were the apple of my eye, my best mate! We were together for just a moment, but I love you a lifetimes worth. Wait for me at the bridge, my turn will come for us to be together again, Xanthe & Ella misses you too. Hi Five my Friend!

Helena Windberg

an exceptional being

Marilyn Joyce

Maggie was in the family for over 13 years.
She was a small doggie with a large heart.
She always met everyone at the door and welcomed them into, (her) home.
When they were ready to leave, she saw them to the door.
She was always trying to please and even at the end, would give a little bark to say hello.

D. Miller

We loved her dearly.

Dayna Arnold

Maggie was the most loyal protector, companion and friend/roommate I've ever had.
I miss her terribly - but have the feeling she's running free with her beloved bunnies and cows in spirit if not in a physical body.
Well done, good and faithful Maggie.
Rest in peace.

Vonda Gilley

To My Love, Maggie,
I couldn't watch you struggle any longer, so I gave you the unselfish gift of a release from your pain and difficulty breathing.
I still have trouble with that decision because I wasn't ready for you to go, but I suppose I never would be.
I just have to believe that you are running again in the sunshine by the Rainbow Bridge, sniffing and licking Lacey and Callie!
They've waited so long to see you!
Poor Kylie is failing and it looks like she does have a brain tumor.
Please watch for her.....I don't think she has much time left.
She misses you so and her grief is so apparent.
How will I live without the two of you?
It's so hard without you and Kylie tries so hard to cheer me up, but it's becoming more and more difficult for her.
This house will be so lonely and empty without the two of you.......but I know you will be together again.
Thank you for all you gave to our family.
We rescued you......and you gave us more than we could have ever imagined.
Rest in peace my angel baby.

All my love,
Mommy Linda

She brought so much love and laughter to our lives. We didn't know we could love an animal so much. She is missed by all who knew her.

Diane & Andy Andersen

I will never forget my baby.

Michelle

My special lap kitty fought her cancer long and hard. What an absolute joy to have soo many years with her. She is greatly missed!

My precious baby girl, you're whole and happy again but I miss you so.
You were a wonderful sous chef, the best companion anyone could ever hope for, and so very special and beautiful inside and out.
Enjoy your romp with your brother and sister until I'm with you again.

Annie

My Maggie girl, where do I begin? You were/are the best! Mommy couldn't have asked for a better girl. I miss you so much. I am so sorry that you were so sick, we did everything we could Maggie to keep you with us, but you were so sick. It broke our hearts Maggie to see you that way..me and daddy were beside ourselves. We love you so much...you will always be with us! Sister, we couldn't let you suffer anymore, we love you too much. I miss you, so. Don't ever forget how much we love you my Maggie girl.

Cinda Kellogg

Jennifer & Richard Montgomery

We love you and miss you. we will always remember you!!

Susan and Emily

I loved you so much and only had you for 6 short years. I would never, ever, give up those 6 years for nothing. You were and continue to be my little angel just like I called you when you were here with me. We all miss you so much.We know that you are back to your healthy state of being,which helps our hearts heal. I have all the cherished memories of you. Thank you for everything you brought to my life and all who got to know you. I will meet you at the bridge someday. Till then remember that I will always love you

The McCune Family

Maggie, you always gave me your all, never refusing anything I asked of you, whether it was in the obedience ring,in the agility ring, at the hospital performing your duties as a therapy dog or here at home keeping other other dogs in line. Even the last several months, I could still feel your unconditional love shining in your eyes and feel it in my heart as you struggled through your illness. You tried so hard to keep my spirits up but I could see you getting very tired and I knew it was time for me to return to you what you gave to me so unselfishly in the 14 1/2 years we had together. Rest well "Old Girl." You deserve it.
Until we are all together again.
Marty, Rus, Zee and Reno

She was a wonderful loving and faithful friend. We were so blessed to have her for all the years that we did. She had degenerative Malepthy and it had started to take it toll on her.
You could look in her eyes and see that her spirit was gone. So on Sept. 19 2008 we spent a beautiful breezy fall day with her - she laid in sun and was able to walk alittle around her yard.
When my father-in-law (her vet and her papa) came she was happy to see him.
I know that she knew she would be able to run and play and chase squirels gain soon. I held her until the life went from her and it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I know I will see my girly girl again until then this house and my heart is empty.
Good bye my precious angel we will meet again.

R. Brown

Maggie was our special little girl.
She loved to fetch, go out on the boat in Lake Tahoe, float around on her floatie in the pool and always kiss her Mom and Dad....we will miss her always...sweet dreams our angel and we are so happy that you are not in pain any more.
Love, your human parents, Irene & Matt and Nicky, Dino and Brita-Bean

Maggie, my constant companion, your boundless energy and bright eyes gladdened my heart and lifted my soul, from the time we met, until I found you at last, in the woods near our home. You had been mauled by a Rottwieler, yet dying, you struggled still to come to my constant calling.

Wait for me, my dear, at the Rainbow Bridge. I'll meet you there soon.

Joe Quarles

We miss you so much.
I look for you around every corner.
Can't believe you are not here. I hope you are running and chasing tennis balls again. We will love you always.

Niki Deveau

OUR SWEET MAGGIE DIED FROM BAD DOG FOOD CONTAMINATED WITH MELAMINE SHE DIED OF KIDNEY FAILURE WE STILL TODAY DISCUSS WHAT A GREAT DOG & COMPANION SHE WAS & OFTEN.
WE NOW HAVE A MAGGIE TWO & SHE IS NOW 3 1/2 YEARS OLD & WE ARE TRULY BLESSED WITH A CARBON COPY OF MAGGIE ONE.
WE KNOW IN OUR HEARTS MAGGIE ONE IS WAITING AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE FOR US TO ARRIVE SOMEDAY.
LOVE & KISSES TO YOU MAGGIE
MOM & DAD.

Long ago, in 1991, you were born the cadpig of your litter.
You outlived your grandmother, Danni, and your big sister Pippa, to reach the ripe old age of 119 in doggy years, and 17 in ours.
We lost you yesterday, as we had to, as your time had come. The pain of learning that your little organs failed was too much to bear for your human family.
We could not let you suffer, we had to let you go.

RIP Maggie Pootle

Love you always Lynne, Jussy and Mom xx

My sweet girl lost her battle with Lymphoma today, and we laid her sweet soul to rest.

My heart is broken.
My soul is enriched by the love she gave to all, especially me.
What a sweet girl, filled with love and kindness to all.
What a blessing it's been to have had her in our family albeit 7 short years .

She was a ray of love and sunshine, came from a rescue to be my love. My best friend and companion.
She was truly one of a kind. The relationship she enjoyed with Ray and Lauren was nothing short of spectacular.
what a wonderful smile to start each and every day.What a wonderful smile at the end of the day, The best hugs from that pup, with training from this family of Huggers

Steve and Diane Polansky, Rachael and Lauren Billy and Lucy Miss Her Too

Maggie, we will never forget your beautiful expressive kind eyes, your handsome profile , your big soft, teddy bear body and most important your love. How you loved us and how your family loved you. We loved it all Mags, your puppy self,
your crazy jump in the lake and never come out days, playing paw, your labrador recliner years and finally we'll treasure the memories of carrying you outside, to eat and to bed.
You only wanted to be with us.
We got what we wished for. We had 14 short years with the best friend anyone could ever wish for and then you left us so quietly.
Even though our hearts are broken we'll have to smile because of the best memories we have of you.
I can't say thank you enough to you Mag. Thank you forever.

Heidi and Joe Simbolick

Maggi was my beloved compainon who became ill very fast and in only a couple days passed over the rainbow bridge.
Her owner is griefstricken and isn't sure she did the right thing.
Her grief is overtaking and she misses her so much.
She was my MAE-MAE and I miss her something awful.
May she come back to me in another form and may I always know she is near.

Cindi Sweet

Maggie was such a huge part of our lives, she has been with us from the begining.
Maggie brought such happiness to us and others through her great zest and love for life.
Nothing could ever keep her down or diminish her spirit regardless of what life threw at her.
I know that we are better people of having had he in our lives, and will have a void that can never be filled.

Magic,
I miss you so much. You were my best buddy, my sweet, handsome boy. So stoic,loyal and pure.
What a blessing for us when I found you. I'll always love you and miss you forever. I hope I gave you as much unconditional love as you gave me.

Roberta Rubin

To my darling Magic Baby - the alpha kitty of the house, I am missing you every day.
I can still see your cranky face when you just looked at the other cats and they backed off.
I can also see the look of love you gave me before you got sick and how you would reach out one paw to make sure you were touching me.
I love you Magic Baby.

Janet Knotts

I will always miss you.

Cheryl Bradley

Our beautiful dog Magic was with us for almost 16 years.
During that time, she gave unconditional love and filled our lives with joy.
Our hearts are heavy with grief but we will always remember our beloved Magic.

Diane, Steve and Brianna Rambadt

Magic was a wonderful companion. I will miss his purring and when he used to touch his paws to my face was some of the happiest moments of my life. I was lucky to have him for 16 years, and I hope that I meet up with him again in heaven. His passing on was one of the hardest moments of my life. I love you, Magic.

Noreen Bartol

you brought joy into my life and i will miss all of you forever.

Sylvia

Magik truly was a Gentle Giant.
She was gentle with children and babie even during her last difficult days on this earth. She was also protective of the whole family and a good buddy to her best friend and mommy,Suzanne, who loved her the best.
She was a sweet and comforting girl and she will be so very missed by all who loved her.
Sleep tight Magik and say hello to Happy and Princess and Freeway they are waiting for you. We won't forget our special obedient Magik who had a heart full of Love.

Suzanne

I am completely saddned by the loss of my Magnolia.
She was truly the love of my life.
she will never be forgotten

Ellen Earnest

My beloved Maggie,you will always have a special place in my heart

Joanne Purpura

Maggie was a gentle dog who wanted only to please.
We will miss her terribly. We will wait for the day we are reunited with her. Morning walks are not the same; she loved them so. Sophie and Rosie are very quiet today.

Phyllis Mitchell

Thank you for giving me the best 12 years of my life.
We love you, friend.

Kristin

Magoo....i miss him soo much i just want him back!! i need him. i have had him since first grade! now he is gone! =[

Chelsey Corrao

Magy my first loving dog . A dog with so much love she made my life complete.

Lee

Mahlie was a sweet loving girl.
She was the pick of the litter but then it was found she was deaf.
We took her into our home and for 11 years we were amazed at how her handicap didn't hold her back. She loved water - whether drinking it or playing in it. And food - oh Mahlie lived for her 2 meals a day and devoured them in seconds. She always was happy and wagged her tail all the way up to the end even when she was too sick to get up.
We will always be thankful to have had Mahlie in our life and know that she is in heaven now hearing all the sweet sounds she missed during her life on earth. We miss you sweet baby and we'll see you again some day.

Tina White

Dearest Mahogany,

We love you so much and miss you so much.
Our hearts are just aching with the pain of your loss.
You were our first kitty cat and we will never forget you.
Run, jump, chase, and play with your sister Katie-Cat.
Meet us at rainbow bridge, we'll be running towards you.

Nancy, Jeffrey and Brooke

she brought joy into our lives every day and is missed very much..

Nancy Maloney

I saw her at the groomer 2 months ago, she was jumping up on me and I had to pick her up.
I waited a day and even dreamed about her.
Her little bright eyes spoke to me.
I called the groomer, she needed a home, her previous owner was a senior and couldn't take care of her any more.
I took her home the next day.
Her name was Sugar, but to me she was Mai Mai (named after a favorite student).
She was so soft and so loving, she took to my daughter immediately (she seemed to understand my daughter's special needs).
My male dog loved her and slept with her and protected her from my assertive female dog.
My husband didn't take to her, but he didn't deny her either.
When she was excited, she ran like a jack rabbit, I nicknamed her conejita (little rabbit).
She either slept in the covers with me or my daughter.
At first, she would vomit up her water.
I thought it was the adjustment period.
Then she started vomiting her food 5-8 times a day.
I was careful how I fed her and I tried every food available.
I took her to the vet.
They found matter in her stomach, opened her up and found undigested food.
Very frustrated and I felt guilty, she had surgery for nothing.
We went through a series of shots, pills, rice diet (which she wouldn't eat), we even tried buffalo and venisen.
She wasn't losing weight, but she was miserable.
She would vomit, and hide and then tremer for a while afterwords.
I washed a lot of bedding, clothes and throw rugs.
I held her, kissed her, petted her, rocked her, took her with me every where.
At the same time my husband herniated a disk and my father had shoulder surgery.
She comforted me and I kept trying to help her.
I eventually had to feed her in the bathroom (so she would slow down) and she slept there also (with a pink fluffy bed and a blue blanky).
She was either vomiting or sleeping.
The vet was stumped, I was at the end of my rope and my daughter was so worried.
I prayed and prayed for peace or healing.
The last vet visit her gave her a shot for vomiting and mentioned Addison's disease.
I went home and looked it up.
She fit every thing even down to the extreme pain in the hind quarters.
Her sparkle was leaving her.
I begged St. Francis to give me a sign.
He gave me 2.
My angel daughter told me that Mai Mai was too sick, too much vomiting and Mai Mai was very sad.
The 2nd came in the night.
The shot didn't work and she started projectle vomiting.
It terrified her.
She hid behind the toilet, her head hung low and she wouldn't come out.
I picked her up and took her to the couch, covered her up and held her.
She lost control of her bladder and I lost control of my tears.
I fed her every yummy thing that she could possible crave, I let her drink as much water as she wanted, I kept stroking her now dry fur.
Her fight was gone and I let go.
I took her to the vet in the morning (I begged my husband to go).
I wrapped her in her pink fuzzy bed and blue blanky, said my goodbyes and waited for an eternity for the Dr. to enter the room.
I couldn't stay (I had stayed for my first Pom after 23 years of faithful companionship, I stayed for a classroom rat, I stayed for my dad's dog -that my late mother gave him- while he was on vacation, I stayed for my beautiful white Pom that begged me with her eyes to let it end, and I stayed with my black Pom -that I rescued from a puppy farm after my mom died)-- I couldn't stay for her.
She screamed for me as the Dr. covered her head with her blue blanky.
I walked away.
She had been in my life for only 2 months, she had 4 other owners and she screamed for me and I turned away.
I carried her, I shoved meds down her throat, I tried every food I could think of, I kept a log, I asked every doggy person I could think of for advice, I prayed, I worried, I took her with me every where, but ultimately--I loved that tiny, boney, sweet, hopping, big eared creature whose only wish was for love and comfort.
As I was watering a plant in the kitchen I saw statue that I had bought in passing.
It was an angel holding a little rabbit.
I took it out side and put it between a statue of St. Katirina and St. Joseph.
I said good bye and prayed for peace.

Franci

We will miss our little girl very much.

Mary & Kevin

On this day my friend, companion and love will be taking her journey to Rainbow Bridge.

I'm setting her spirit free from a body of pain and discomfort.

I can't wait till the day comes when we are rejoined again in the afterlife.
Until then.. she will be deeply missed.

Please light a candle for her.
Thank You

Holger

losing a pet is horrible my condolence goes out to those who have also lost pets

Lauren Walker

Maia the Bee...you were hands down the best cat I ever loved in my entire life. I can not believe you are gone and in such a terrible way. I should have known when Chloe disappeared that something was terribly wrong. I feel like I sent you to your death baby and I am so sorry. I feel like my heart has been ripped out to have lost both of you within a week of one another after som many years. I wish I could pet you, hold you and love you just one more time. I will miss those beautiful blue eyes.

Jill Bodner

Charlotte

My beautiful girl, you brought me so much joy. You never questioned this cruel life, but fought your pain with peaceful understanding.
So brave you were, We could learn from that;
A little dog angel now; looking down from above.

I cannot describe how I miss my big girl; but I know you're with me;
in the hills, in the mountains, in the bright morning sun;
I look for you and see that this life is not all that is there;
For you live in my thoughts, in my dreams and despair'
Maisie just know I adore and love you so; I'll never forget you or let your memory go.

good night my little dog angel. xx

Ruth Garrett

Maisie was a very real "Airedale" - stubborn, funny, beautiful, and very loving of her entire human family.
She will be missed for a long time - walk time, bed time and all the times in between.

Margaret Fulton

Maisy,
You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. From your cute pink nose to your sharp little claws...you were so cute and sweet. We love the way you always trusted us and you jumped without fear. We thank God for the extra time that we had you with us and we know that you're playing with your big sister and eating Bandit treats while you wait to see us again.

We love you!!

Ginny & Andy Dulaney

My Dearest Maisy - you brought an incredible amount of joy into my life and fought so hard to see another day.
The pain of lossing you is overhwhelming right now.
When we said our goodbyes, a piece of me went with you. You will forever remain close in my heart. I love you and miss you.
"Mommy"

She gave me strength and love.
She also was the light in my life.

Janet Morrone

We hope that you are having fun with all.
You are missed so much.
Bekka is recovering from spinal surgery and Makoa is fine.
The little one is keeping everyone busy.
You meant so much to us and there is never a day that we don't think of you.
We want you to be happy and carefree.
Please have fun and realize that you are missed and loved so much.

Rita and Michael Romansky

Majic was an amazing pet and friend.
Sitting here now I am flooded with thoughts and memories that bring a smile to face and a tear to my eye.
He is dearly missed by myself and his Ridgeback sister, Mystic.
He was always the first to wake me in the morning and the one to cuddle in with me at night.
Thank you Majic for the unconditional love.
I truly hope you understand why I made the decision I did on July 4th.
I wanted to bring you home with me so badly but also no longer wanted you to be in any pain or feeling sorry for having accidents in the house or not being able to get around.
I truly, truly did everything I could for you.
You are my baby and hope to see you again someday.
Love you always,
Mom

We'll miss you, Major .
We loved having you for our neighbor, & thought it was so cool how we could slip under the fence & visit with each other.
Wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge...we'll play again!

Pam Ppitlanish, Darby, & Buddy

You were the best friend I've ever had. My heart will feel your loss forever. I will always love you, and you will always be in my heart.

Gary Cobb

Major passed over to Rainbow Bridge on Feb. 8, 2008, after a wonderful 14 years as my parents "fur baby." I wanted to pay tribute to Major since she was a big part of their lives for so long. I know they are missing her terribly. But, I hope they can look back and remember the good times they had with her and smile through the tears. She is no longer suffering and is free from pain. She may be gone, but she is, and always will be, in our hearts.

Ann Meredith

Such a good buddy for a long time.
We know you
were tired and tried to hold on.
We will love you forever.
We miss you so much.
Someday we will be together at the Rainbow Bridge.

Karen & Keith Martin

Major my boy... You were my best friend, My confidant, My companion and my first baby. I miss you so very much. I don't like leaving the house, coming home or even being here without you. I didn't think that I was afraid of the dark but without you with me I am. Sometimes I think I see you and hear you but most of the time it is quiet and I don't like it. I miss you buddy. I know that there was nothing more that we could do to help you. I realize now how sick you have gotten. I didn't want to have to come to terms with what was happening to you. I miss your fur... oh your beautiful fur. I miss cuddling. I know you loved me and I hope you know that I love you dearly. I hope that I was as good to you as you were to me. Daddy misses the together times you guys had in the shed. Kaitlyn misses you at nap time. She tells people that you are playing ball with the angels. I hope you are my boy... I hope you are.
I hope you found Dixie and Scooter there across the bridge and I hope you are playing together.

I will always love you and you will always hold a very special place in my heart.

To our Darling Major who brought us so much happiness until a short illness took him away. We miss you so much and you are forever in our hearts.

Love Mum & Dad xx

Major you were a wonderful dog and we will miss you dearly.

Sherri

For Tom, who taught us so much.

Jenni & Andy Garratt

A dear sweet little goofball who enriched our lives every day. The bed is way too big and the bathroom rug way too clean with his passing.

Alan & Gioia Petro

You are free now, sweetheart. Enjoy your flight over the bridge and beyond.

Brad and Tracy Hoffman

You left us too soon Makita, and we only knew you for a short time. You were amazing and we miss you!
We will always love you!!

Megan Peterson & Marc Sabo

Makita was rescued from a bad home, she was blind from malnutrition when I got her and eat up with fleas, but I took her to our wonderful vet and he took her home with him for 5 days and nights and on day 6 he called and told me I had to come see how good she was doing and when I got there she was jumping and playing and could see again!! From that day forward she was my best friend and protector. She was a BIG BABY and I miss her very much!! I love you Makita Marie!!

Stephani

My "Little One" ("Mala" means "Little One"), you taught me more about life and love than so many people. Rest in Peace my "Little One". We still love you.

Milorad Orlic

Malachi came to us about 4 years ago.
We weren't looking for a pet but God sent one to us.
He loved being around people especially our children.
He slept every night with our daughter Skye and he always alerted us to our curfew violators.
He was my running buddy, skunk sniffer and deer watcher.
He succumbed to cancer yesterday and we will miss him dearly.
See you at the bridge Malachi.
Happy chasing!

Randy & Leah Cauthron

I miss your sweetheart, your company, your constant devotion, even up to the end. Always wanting to be there for me and with me. You are out of pain now and can once again chase the squirrels and rabbits. You mommy loves you.

Malcolm, I love you with all my heart. You were my baby boy, and I can't help but cry when I think about you. But I'm glad you're not suffering anymore. I'll love you forever and always.

Phoenix Ferne

I used to hate those bumper stickers that say "The more I know men, the more I love my dog," because they seemed so hateful.

Then I met Malcolm, my beloved dog, and the more I knew him, the more I loved him, because he loved me in ways that no one - no family member, no boyfriend - ever had.
He was so gentle with me when I was sad, and his smiling eyes and goofy grin just said "Welcome Home" every day when I got home from work.

Two years ago, Malcolm got sick, perhaps with a tumor, and Prednisone was able to keep pace with the tumor for a long, long time.
Last week, during spring break, Malcolm started having seizures again, and nothing was making them better.
He was up and down, and one night, the night before I took him to the vet, I stayed up with him all night as he panted, his eyes dark and his ears pressed back, obviously so distressed.

I prayed and prayed for a miracle, the lessening of his pain, discomfort, distress, whatever it was, but the next morning, he still was not able to walk much, and he continued to lie there and pant, off and on.
I could not bear for him to suffer any longer, so I took him to the vet to be put to sleep.

While there, he seemed to rally a bit, and all I can say is that I wish with all my heart I'd just taken him home with me that day and built a platform to carry him around on.
He deserved that.
I cannot live with myself, but I only had him put to sleep because he was in such distress and I didn't want him to suffer.
Now I am all alone, desperate to have him back, and seeing him everywhere.
And nowhere.

There could never be another dog like Malcolm.
His face was so expressive - one minute happy, the next worried, the next smiling, the next wondering, puzzled about something.
He was a big gentle giant of a dog, my teddy bear, my constant companion, my love, my protector, my best friend.

There must be a way to bring him back, because I can't bear the thought of a life without him - lumbering over to the door to greet me, laying his head in my lap as we watched TV, and even sitting quietly when one of my birds would perch on his back and preen his fur.

Please come back, Malcolm.
Please, buddy.
I miss you too much :-(

Sarah Hirsch

Malcom, Being there when I need you,
your sad look in the morn when going to work,
that special bark when I got home,
Your were my reason to get up, your sigh at
night, made me sleep good
Now, that your gone, emptyness, tears will not
stop.
Malc, you are so missed .

Norman Fletcher

My darling Mali, I miss you so much, and I will always love you. You were so sweet and gentle and loving. You were my Sweetpea, Honeybuns, and Mali mate. I was so honoured when you gave birth on my bed. I am so sad to have lost you... Rest in peace darling and God bless you.

Mali was the sweetest , dearest dog.
I can't imagine my life without her in it.
I hope there is a place for these dear friends to go to wait for us.
She will be dearly missed.

Robyn Perez

I'll always miss you and I'll always love you.
I pray that you really are playing with Zanzi in a field of flowers and that I'll see both of you again someday.

Stephanie Silver

We shared 11 yrs. together and also our birthday!
My wonderful girl fought a valiant fight after diagnosed with a brain tumor Sept. "07. Today, after 5 consecutive seizures in an hr. we decided she was ready to cross over. She tried to eat her folder at the vets, which was her M.O. (she loved any sort of paper!) She will be remembered daily and missed beyond words. She enjoyed swimming in the Toms River (NJ), walks in the cranberry bogs, playing with our other golden, Yukon. Easy going, lovable. Nighty, Night my sweet girl.

Karen Conway

We love you, and we think of you every moment of every day. You're smiling face, wagging tail, pure unconditional love, and all over happiness will NEVER be forgotten. You were here for such a little time, and I'd give my life to see you again. I miss you, Daddy misses you. You we're like our first baby girl. We'll tell our kids about you one day and smile, and say that was the best beagle in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. You are our heart my dear Mali girl, your always in our hearts. I go to sleep at night with you in my dreams, alive and ok. One day, I know, one day- Ill see you again, we'll see you again and hold you and pet you and snuggle you, and scratch behind you ears. After that day, we'll never be apart.

Wait with Cocoa, Mali, she'll take care of you. Wait for us.
We love you, forever and ever.

God, Lord in Heavens, and loving father Jehovah- keep her memory, and spirit.

Malish was my baby for almost 17 years, through the best and the worst. I miss him so much. Can't believe he is gone.

Inessa

Malley, you were my protector,my constant companion, my best friend, my family.You gave me unconditional love and filled each day of my life with happiness and purpose. You are at peace now with our beloved Tom. I will always love you, Mom

Mallory

Thanks for being my rock and my protector for so many years.
You helped me get through some tough times and I have learned so much from your focus.
You caught so many squirrels by stealth and planning, marking and measuring your every step, with perfect focus and patience. Our pack shall miss you greatly. I hope you will pass my love to Jesse who crossed before you and also to Daytona, Peiscilla and Shelby and all those who have left.
I love you and I will look forward to seeing you
- have a squirrel for me. Love U

Mary Louise

My dear Mallory entered my life in 2002. I rescued her for near death at a local shelter where she was days away from being put down. She was the most beautiful Siamese cat I have ever seen with the gorgeous big blue eyes. She quickly became attached to me and I to her. She very rarely visited with my husband but she would finally give in to him for a treat or a back scratch. When I would get home from work and put my feet up she would crawl up and lay across my legs keeping them nice and warm. A few years later I had surgery on my feet and was bed ridden for a few weeks and she was right there with me. She would leave me long enough to eat then she would soon return to lay beside me. Time has passed on and she's been by my side the whole time. On the night of Oct. 12, 2008 I went to bed as usual but moments later I heard a strange noise and got up to see what it was. The moment I seen her I knew it was about to end. I picked up her almost lifeless body and held her tight. I didn't want her to go but I told her it was ok, she can pass on. She let out a meow and she slipped away.
I have never been much of a cat person but Mallory won my heart over. I'm not really sure how old she was, the shelter I got her from said she was dropped off there at night and they knew nothing about her. The past 6 years I had her in my life has been a blessing and I will never forget her.

Cheryl Utz

I will always remember the love in your eyes.

Veronica Rangel

You were the reason we were happy again. You & your kittens brought joy into our hearts. We'll never know what happened that night but you will remain in our hearts. We love you.

Karen & Bruce Jacques

We love you so much Cylcone. Even though we know you are no longer suffering, our hearts ache deeply to have you with us. You greeted us with love and kisses everytime we came into the door. In some way we feel we have let you down, and we are sorry for that.Please watch over us and know that you are forever in our hearts and we miss you greatly.

Don, Tricia, Trevor, Mackenzie, Chance, Maya & Max

Mama, I will miss you! you were so sweet! You can be at peace now with Buggs and Meggie. Love, Your Mom

I called her mama finch because she had 4 babies with daddy finch. I went to uncover them and saw her laying on bottom of cage. I was very sad. My dad wasn't home so I had to barry her my self. I marked her grave so I always no where her body is, and if any of the other birds die I can put them with her so they can be together forever.

Brittany Johnson

Mama Kat
It has been exactly 2 months. I should have noticed you were sick, I should have keept you inside. I should have payed you more attention and I should have played with you more. I should have gotten you spayed before I did. You were a kitten of a cat I once had, and you stuck around. I grew to appriciate you more and more as you grew to be part of our family. I just couldnt part with you. You were the funniest, most cuddily, talkative, beautiful cat ever. Friendly? The most. I cant believe it all happened so fast. One minute you were missing for a day the next minute the vet said theres nothing we can do. I hate that damn vet. I think there must have been somthing he could have done. I didnt relaize how much I would miss you until it was too late. I would give anything to have you back. ANYTHING. Three years wasnt long enough for this world to have you. I paid for those 3 years of joy with my greif of loseing you. Ill always miss you and remember you. RIP Mama Kat

Mama Kitty

Mama kitty was a special kitty, she was a stray that we all loved.
She was nice to all but she stood her ground
and if you messed with her, she'd put you down.

Mimi dog, was a small Chihuahua
that thought She was very large,
Her and Mama Kitty went round and round
when they would pass in the yard.

She was a good little mama, who had lot's of little kittens,
that she cared for with great adoration.
One litter in my garage and one under my house
I looked at her with much admiration.

One day a friend did a good deed
and took her to be fixed,
she already had four litters
and they were quite the mix.

Our independent Mama Kitty
busted right out of that box,
and we tried and tried to find her
and when I did, she was dead, laying on the rocks.

We don't know what happened
and the Vet was very kind.
She picked her up with a tear in her eye
and graciously carried her from behind.

I loved that little kitty,
I loved her with all my heart.
I had took care of her for two years
and am saddened to see her part.
But she's up in Kitty Heaven, and I hope she understands,
that we never meant any harm to her
and we're sorry her life did end.
We will miss you Mama Kitty and
We Love You Mama Kitty,
Love Karen

Mama Lynn Purr came to the family as a baby after someone had left her behind. Defying the odds, Mama grew into a strong cat, full of attitude and energy, having many babies of her own. Eventually she out-lived all her babies, living until the age of 21! Yes, Mama was a miracle kittie that everybody loved and was in awe of.

Even in her old age, Mama had her little crazy personality quirks that she would bust out at crazy moments. Be it fiercly playing with crumpled pieces of paper, taking off outside like she owns the place, or randomly trying to chomp on human food with her gums, she made us all laugh.

Mama Lynn Purr, we'll never forget you. You will always be in our hearts and we will always be thankful that you graced us with your royal presence for 21 years!

Love Always,

Jean, Jeremy, Jennifer, Jeana, Dez, Ambrose, and all the people and animals that had the opportunity to meet the great Mama!

Mama Pajama left us early today.
That beautiful white and grey Guinea Pig, mistaken by some as a bunny, went to The Bridge as we slept. She had only been ill for a short while, all the more reason that we are so devistated by her passing.
She left behind her loving daughter, Baby Luv, a sister Junie B.; brothers, Midnight, Dewey, Louie, Blackjack, Cajun and Garfield; cousin Ziggy and her Mommy & Daddy, to wonder why she left us so soon. Maybe God needed a loving hand to help at The Bridge, perhaps to prepare for the big Christmas celebration.
A nuturing Mom to her daughter, she will be a good one to look after younger new arrivals.
We know that her brothers Huey and Chester, and all of her other pals who left earth before her, were waiting with open paws to welcome her. What a reunion it must have been! One thing for sure, now Mama is healthy again. No yucky medicine to take or repeated bouts with infection. God bless you little one. Don't forget us as we will never forget you. We will look forward to the day when we will meet you and all of our other little ones at The Bridge.

Love, Mommy & Daddy, Baby Luv, Midnight, Junie B., Cajun, Dewey, Louie, Blackjack, Garfield and Ziggy.

Mama Sheema, Thank you for bringing me your two beautiful babies, you were the best mama. I'm so sorry that we couldn't get rid of your cancer.
We will miss you so much.
Your time here was way too short.
I will miss the way you would use your paws to pull my hand to your face so you could rub your cheeks, your cute little face and all your purring.
I will see you again someday. Bye sweet sheema.
Your mama loves you.

MY BEST FRIEND & THE LOVE OF MY LIFE !
You, were always there for me & I was always there for you. We had a spiritual connection that was not of this world & I know we will be together again...so please be waiting for me. I can't wait to see that happy furry face & have you jump into my arms,lick my face all over, where I can once again hold you & feel your love.
There will never be another like you & I thank God, for giving you to me & the time we had. It was a wonderful gift !

Like I always said I was LUCKY to have you & you were LUCKY to have me.
Be free my Friend & I hope you got your wings & your wish to fly so you can get all the squirrels.

Love, Your Mama

Thanks for all the fun and joy you brought to those around you. I'm sorry and I'll miss you.

Karen Kastler

For the love you were always ready to give and receive, the joy of having spent with you 1 1/2 years of our lives, for that mischieviousness that unfortunately called you to run to the road. For all this and much more, we love you and miss you very much.

Silvia Botnick

Te amo Mandelingo.
Gracias por haberme amado y cuidado como lo hiciste.
El camino está tan solo y triste sin ti...
Te amo y te amaré siempre.

Mandi,
Today, it has been an entire year since you left us.
We think of you everyday.
We miss you terribly.
I love you!
You were the most wonderful pet I have ever owned.
I know you are in heaven watching over us and someday we will meet again and you will come cuddle in my lap like you always use to do.

Love you so much!
Love your family

You will always be in our hearts.

Christine and Todd

Mandi,
words can't explain how much you will be missed, i know your in a better place now, but will always be in my heart. i Love so much Mandi!
Troy T.

Mommy & Chrissy miss you.

Linda Dawson

I never knew I was a Dog Person until Mandy came into my life.
I had cats, but my daughter wanted a dog, and a relative knew of a dog on the way to the pound - her name was Harley.
We took her home, but changed her name to Mandy.
She became a loving member of our family, but old age crept up on her.
At the ripe old age of 14 1/2, she just couldn't go anymore.
Arthritis was gnawing at her bones, and her heart was wearing out, but she managed to make it down the steps and up again every day to go outside.
On Thanksgiving Day she couldn't get up anymore.
I was waiting for the "I'm done" look from her, and I got it that day.
"My heart aches and the tears flow.
How much I miss her, no one can ever know."
Run free Mandy.
You're free of your withered earthly body.
I love you forever.

Geri Gallagher

May God make Mandy well again as she joins her buddy Sam.

Love to Pat & Paul for giving her a wonderful life.

Liz

Mandy came into our lives in December of 2003. She was left to die with no food, shelter or water by some heartless individual. Mandy brought our family so much joy and happiness. She was so appreciative and as close to perfect as a pet could ever get. Her fur felt like silk and just petting her could make you feel better if you were having a bad day. At the ripe old age of 18, she was still active and looked to be only 3 years old due to her crisp white fur and active body. Mandy begin coughing and slowing down in the spring of this year and was diagnosed with cancer and congestive heart failure in August. She went downhill fast and crossed the rainbow bridge on October 17, 2008. We miss her so much and our hearts ache without her here in the house.

Mandy, we love you and will be with you again one day! Thank you for all the joy and happiness you brought us!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Kailey and Courtney
(Cricket and Boris too)

I was blessed to Love Mandy when she needed a home at 4 years old.
She will be sorely missed.
She loved everyone and was a special girl.
Love Always- Dean, Fred, Steven, Scott and Robin.

A magnificent therapy horse whose last days included sessions with people determined to break free from addiction. She also got out on the trail, where she could enjoy open space and autumn sunshine.

L D Hamilton

Mandy was a special furbaby.
She has had diabetes for 6 and 1\2 years.
Mandy went into a diabetic coma on Wednesday, July 9th and was in the ICU unit for 3 days.
Mandy you're passing has left a whole in the hearts of all who loved you.
We miss you so much.
Your family loves you my baby and always will.

Joanne Magnani

I lost my precious Mandy on July 3, 2008.
She was frail and sick.
We had to put her down.
I loved her so much it hurts.
This is worse than losing a best friend, it's losing a close family member.
She was so beautiful and sweet.
I think about you everyday Mandy.
I love and miss you baby girl.

Cherie Trackwell

Dear, Sweet Mandy:
I miss you more than I could ever say. I feel so empty inside without you here. You were my best friend for 14 plus years and I am so lonely without you. I know you hung on that day until I got home because you were waiting for me. You took your last breath in the car on the way to the vet and I cried all the way there. I miss you so much and I will love you forever. You run and play and be happy, my sweet girl!

Love, Mommy

My precious Mandy was put down today.
It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
Mandy was sick, but up until the last minute, the vet told me she was sicker than what she was letting on.
I guess Mandy knew how much I loved her and she didn't want me to hurt more knowing she was very ill.
I held her even after she passed.
I miss her and love her so much.
She has a special place in my heart.
I feel blessed that she is my angel.
My eyes hurt from crying for her.
She was so beautiful and had such a personality.
Almost like a little human.
I hope she can hear me talking to her.
God bless you Mandy and I can't wait to meet you again.

Cherie Trackwell

She was the love of my life. She made coming home from work the best thing in the world. Her smile, and she did smile, was the most beautiful thing in the world. Even when she got her 'tude I loved her more than anything else in the world. I do not know how I will recover from the loss of my child/best friend. People tell me to get another dog right away but I can not do that, I can not replace like that. Nothing could ever replace her.

Tracie Allen

IT IS ALWAYS TOUGH BUT THIS IS EXTRA TOUGH BECAUSE WE HAD HER FOR 15 YEARS.
SHE SWAM, FISHED, VACATIONED WITH US.
SHE WAS EVEN A BRIDESMAID AT OUR SON'S WEDDING.
SHE WAS THE BEST FRIEND WE HAD AND WE MISS HER TERRIBLY.
WE NEVER KNEW HER BREED HAD A NAME UNTIL SHE DIED AND WE WENT ON THE INTERNET.
SHE WAS A COMFORT RETRIEVER.

Alyce and Larry Mackinder

Mama's precious baby.
We shared everything.
I miss her so.
I want her to know I think of her every single day.
Her cancer had taken over every part of her body, but she was a trooper through it all.
She knows I love her, and I can't wait to see her at the bridge. I know you saw Hobo on Wed. at the bridge.
Take care of each other 'til I get there.
I love you!!!
Mama

Elayna Terrell

Miss Mandy what a joy you were to my life, when I would come home you would do your little dance and jump into my arms, you would keep my lap warm and my bed.
I am still finding your little stashes of food in the house, reminders of you. You will always be in my heart.
I love you Mandy!
Duke is looking for you, he just passed on Monday!Two of my best buddies together again. Love you both.

Joan

rest in peace my precious keekers,I miss you!

On April 19th,2008 I had to make the hardest decision of my life--I had to let you go to the Rainbow Bridge where you are free of pain now.

Kathy Saylor

My best friend, faithful companion, protector, daughter, and soul mate.

Mandy only worried about her cushion getting cold, she was so laid back and loving.

Lets hope that your cushion is always warm and that someone takes the time to tickle your tum

Loved and missed
Mam, Dad & Kim

She raced straight into my heart from the first time I laid eyes on her. In time she was the mascot for Plainfield Pets Greyhound Adoption Program and EVERYONE who came to know her loved her. The ten years together and helping other greys find homes was so rewarding and she is etched on my heart forever. I miss the girl! Thank you for bringing another to my home and heart. She is an ANGEL.

Pat Pellegrini

Mandy was a loving dog as everyone dog is. she was my little girl white as snow. i will miss her always

Mango was a long haired orange cat.
Everyone thought he was so beautiful.
He was rescued 5 years ago and has been making us laugh ever since.
He has brought our family so much joy.
He was very sweet and affectionate.
He even let our dog Kasper lick his ears every once in a while.
Mango, you will be missed.
We love you so much and thank God for blessing us with you.
You were a friend and a major part of our every day.
Please know how much you were loved.

Leslie and C.J. Sabia

Manhattan chose me on my birthday as I walked through the SPCA for my special gift.
He latched on and never let go - of me or my heart -To lose him was to lose part of myself and I thank God every day that he came into my life and that we gave each other the greatest happiness either of us ever knew.

Manhattan, I love you.
then, now, always.

Kristine Lee Kipphut Darmohray

My Mani was an unbelievable dog. She was part of my family and she was loved by everyone who met her. I will miss seeing her greet me at the door and snuggling up next to me at night. I will never forget her beautiful face and her sweet smell. We love you mama's girl!!!!!

Melissa Wish

My best buddy!!

Deborah Jaap

MANNNY, was parti pom who had the nerve and back bone of rottwiller. He gave us so much love he always understood our feelings. He was stricken with dianeties 3 years ago the disease caused him to go blind, but that did not deter this guttsy little guy one bit. He could get around as though he could see. We will miss him every day as when I came in the house from anywhere he was nosing out the door to get my scent. he slept with his nose in my shoe or slipper. He was my shadow, when I bathed he was right there in the bathroom with me. If there is a heaven for dogs as I like to believe Manny earned his place there by the love he gave to us. We made that last trip to the vet today as he had suffered for 2 days and the vet agreed he had at last he gave out. His little body was so tiny as I held him in my arms for the last time on 01/02/2008.
(Manny I will never forget you my little tiger.)

Manny we miss you every day there is not a day that goes by that i don't well up with tears thinking of you even the good times. The way you would lay on the top of the back seat of our Car to see where you were going. even after we bought the van and made the back seat into a large bed for you , your brother Mike and your two sisters Ruby and Gidget. You were the smallest of all and the biggest of all four, your size wee but your heart was mighty. with all the problems you never faultered always going on ahead of all. Your brother mike has taken up some of your slack. At night when Ruby left the bed room, you would block the door and rimble and growl at her, your brother remained fast asleep, but now he fills those shoes, I have to fuss at him just as I did you in order for Ruby to return to the bedroom. Manny you will forever be in my heart and on my mind. When we first went to the breeder to get you we were unsure of you as you were really shy and pulled away, where as your brother was very open and affectionate. We brought you home and you stayed under the bed for several days just came out to eat and drink water. But when you found out we meant you no harm your heart opened like a dam it flooded over with so much love that you gave to us and Manny we miss that devotion, and our hearts are empty, Mike, Ruby, Gidget fill some of the emptyness, but they are not you my dear little Manny. We have your ashes and a picture of you on our mantle, where you will always be and the love you gave us forever in our heart. We love and miss you Manny Moe as we called you and the little song we sang when we gave you your insulin. Toughy toughy toe nails that is your name, your so tough and full of stuff, that makes you brave and rough.

Mike is also a parti-pom and Ruby and Gidget are Min Pins and we loved Manny for 10 happy years with him in our lives.

WE LOVE YOU MANNY MOM AND DAD

To one of the best dogs I have ever had.
What a great friend and companion.
I miss you greatly, your morning biscuits and our evening walks.
I know that oneday we will be together again in heaven.
Until then, you will never be forgotten and will always be in my heart.

In memory of my boy cat, my studly King of the Jungle, my wee cougar....I'm going to miss waking up and going to sleep with you at my side. I'm thankful for all the years we shared which ended yesterday, and will see you on the other side.

Herlinda Lopez

Maple loved running free in the woods, chasing small furry things, lots of treats, and belly rubs. She was a faithful companion through many changes in my life. She was loved by so many and left us very suddenly. She will be missed, but lived a good life full of love.

Jill Courtney

To Ke-Ke-Ke, Marble Lee, our "kitten in a buscuit",

You are loved and missed so very much. Each morning and night when your four-legged family members, Squeek and Razz are with us, we wish for you too, to be here with us.

We know that you are watching over us and that our angel Cole is with you, but still nothing will take this pain away. We didn't want you to be stressed or suffer so we tried to make the best decision we could, we hope that you know how very much you are loved and always will be.

You have taught us so much about unconditional love and patience and you will have a forever place in all of our hearts. Please watch over us and send your undying love to Squeek and Razz too.

Thank you for the wonderful years together, you will forever live in our memories and hearts.

*************Mommy & Daddy, Squeek and Razz too

Our precious little boy had such a bad time on this earth. You touched the heart and soul of everyone you met. We did all we could in the last few weeks. Hope your having fun with all those butterflies. Miss you more and more each day our little ugle bug. LOVE YOU ALWAYS.

Jenny & Sheree

Marcel was a very loving dog.He loved everyone and loved to go on vacations.He loved to try to catch squirrels in our yard,go for long walks. He liked the attention of people and was a ham. We loved Marcel so much and it is very hard for the loss of him. We will always love and remember him. We have planted a beautiful red Maple tree and a plaque in his honor in our backyard so we will always have him with us.

Tamara Phillips

Goodbye to our sweet girl, she died suddenly doing what she loved the best (going after mice in our barn). She was like a child to us. Marcie, can't wait to see you again, in the next and better world.

Mariah was a special little girl. Always happy and full of life. She loved walks and lying in her mistress's lap. Mariah loved and was loved by her family, Sue, Curtis and Adam. She was loved by many and will be missed terribly.

Bob Graham

To my baby girl and Grandma's princess,
You were the best dog anyone coud of asked for. Everyone called you Miracle Mariah, for all the times you gave us a scare and came back fighting, because you kept beating the odds and baffling the doctors and hanging on for so long.
I miss you so much. I feel lost without you here. Mama loves you Mari, Mari!

Little sister, you are now free of pain and ache.
Wait for us, we'll get there someday.
You're with Pink again, so you won't be lonely.
We love you!

Her smile illuminated our world. She loved Bookman's, Paws & Claws, Udall Park, cruising, and doowop.
Marilyn is survived by her Mutti, Laura, and siblings: Mariska, Lola and Guy. "Je ne Regrette Rien!"?

Laura Ostermeyer

Rest well baby girl. I am SO sorry you went through this, and I wasn't able to be with you. I can only pray that you did not suffer, and that there was at least someone with you. I cannot believe that kiss I gave to you last night was my last.

I will never forget you or your silliness. Say hello to Mr. Snuggles, Princess and Zsa Zsa for us. I miss you so much, and can't believe you are gone from us.

"You will always be... my Squishy..."

Gayl and Keith

He was my love He was my life...I will never forget you bo bo. I miss you soooo much already. There is not a moment I dont think of you. Nothing will ever replace you in my heart ever

To my precious little baby Mario.I was in the pet shop and saw you sitting in your cage with your little brothers.You were the cutest little guy of the bunch.Then I heard some teenagers come into the store looking for feeder rats for their snake.They walked past and pointed directly to you,because you were the only one not hiding in your little house.They went to get the salesperson about buying you,and in that second I thought "No Way.They're not taking this little guy for their disgusting snake!"I grabbed the saleslady first and adopted you immediately.I could tell that they were mad at me,and soon left the store without buying anything,and I was happy! I brought you home and introduced you to your 4 older brothers.They seemed big and scary at first,but soon took you under their wings and cared for you.I think they knew you were just a baby and were very gentle with you.2 days later you started sneezing so I took you to the doctor for a checkup.She told me that you were only 4 weeks old,far too young to be sold and called the owner of the petshop to give him a piece of her mind.She put you on antibiotics,which we gave you faithfully,but your condition soon worsened.The medicine she gave you had a negative effect on your growing muscles and soon your right limbs became weak and stopped working.How it broke my heart to see you lean on your side,and to watch you struggle to keep up with the big guys.I fought so hard to keep you alive,(hand-feeding you liquid vitamins and baby food on the hour),so I took you to the Dr.again for different medications.After 3 weeks of you being medicated,I realized that it was not meant to be.I just cradled you in my hand (you were only 1/2 the size you should have been for your age) until I made the painful decision to let you go.
I made sure the process was as painless as possible.She soon came back into the room and handed you back to me.We buried you that week near our apple tree.It was so hard to say goodbye to you,and I'm still missing you,but I know that the short time we had together was better than your fate that day,had you ended up with those teenagers.Rest in Peace,my little angel!

Carrie L. Davis

My brave MarJan. You came to me as an older cat as Sue and I rescued you from a pit bull attack.For the 9 years I have had you, you have added such joy to my life, my big, beautiful boy. You were named after MarJan the lion in Afganistan, who had a very hard life and was so brave as you were. With all of your health issues, and struggling to breathe with your Asthma, you let mommie and Dr. try everything we could over the years to help you have a better life. You are one of a kind my sweet, sweet, boy and a broken-hearted mommy will always keep you in my heart. I love you/

Cappi Duncan

Thank you Markee.., for coming into our lives. We never knew much about you other than you needed us and I realized I needed you. I don't know where or when your physical life began, but I hope the day you came to us it marked a new beginning. For an old gal, you had some spunk, I wish I could have known you in your younger day. And for a gal with such a bad heart, you sure had a GOOD heart.
You know Markee, I really wanted to find you a adoptive family to spend your final days. Well I guess I did after all, we were your family. But now you have been adopted by the best of the best...., GOD. Be happy, be healthy and know that you are loved. I will see you one day girl.
Love, hugs, kisses & belly rubs...., Mom

I never thought she and I would connect so well.
I never thought I could love her, or her me.
I thought I would find a home for her and just live with my old cat.
But Markie stayed because I wouldn't think of putting her anywhere but a good home.
The home turned out to be mine.

I took her and her siblings in after her ferol mother started letting her kittens outside the home she made for them in a concrete building block.
After everyone of the cats had found their new homes, Markie started living and growing up with me on my left shoulder - and she stayed there till she died this past Monday.
The rest of our time together is human/pet history.

My heart is so broken as is my spirit.
It's only been a few days, but the pain is real and so strong that it might never go away.
I have trouble walking through the door after work and not seeing her there.
I'm even having trouble writing this.

Everyone has a great cat, great dog, great pet, but my Markie was mine.
She was the leader of my feline pride.
My others are great too and I love them dearly and deeply.
But there was just something about my bond with Mark.
Just something I can't explain.

I want her back - NOW!
And I want someone of great brilliance to find a cure for cancer.
And I want to see her throwing her beanie baby in the air.
And I want her paws on my arm when I am reading or watching TV or typing.
I want to see her and hear her.
I want to just have her here where she belongs - with me and I'd like to forget about this whole bad dream.

Sue Bach

My baby Marko passed away last Sunday.
We fought the Diabetis and Pancreatis but lost the battle to the kidney disease.
Marko was definately a mama's boy.
He was so sweet and loving but let strangers know he was my pretector and would defend his home if need be.
He loved his daily walks and swims in the pond at the park.
He patiently waited for his Scooby snacks and greenies after dinner each night.
I miss hearing him howl on the back porch every night before I would call him in to go night/night.
I miss his snoring that woke me up many times thoughout the night. I miss telling him "Hugs and Kisses for my baby Marko"
"Mommy loves you" Peace be with you Marko

Marley,
I miss you more than words can describe.
I feel lost without you.
You were such an incredible loving, giving, nurturing friend to me.

I miss you on my chest calming me down when I am upset.
Now who's going to do it???

I miss our little game of you purring and rubbing your head against my mouth until your right ear was in my mouth.
Then I would 'munch' on your ear playfully.
Then you would pull your ear out of my mouth and run your front right paw over your ear in playful 'disgust.'
Then you would purposely stick your ear back in my mouth for me to do it again.
I miss you my Munchie Girl.

You were a definite Gift from God for 17 years and 6 months until your little body gave out.

I miss you screaming in the morning to the point we called you "the cat alarm has gone off."

I miss you jumping on my lap so many times that I didn't even realize you were there till I looked down and saw you.

It broke my heart to see you get frail and weaker.
I'm glad the angel came to me to help me know what was best for you Monday and that I would be selfish to keep you from this point on.

But I WANTED to be selfish!
I didn't want you to go yet!
But God was calling you and you needed to go to Him.

Thank you Lord for giving me the guidance and strength to make it through that decision and follow through of letting Marley come home to you.
Thank you Lord for allowing her to return to me in the dream that same night.
She looked wonderful, healthy, glossy and happy and told me she was fine and not to miss her.
(I'm not doing so good with that last point.)

All who read this, know that Marley was a beautiful soul.
And pray for me to let the grief go.

Terry Allen

My Darling Marley,
You have changed my life for the better.
It hurts so much each minute without you here with us.
Our house and hearts feel so empty.
You were taken from us so suddenly.
My heart stopped beating when yours did my little noodle.
Sister misses you too- she keeps guarding her food bowl.
Who will be there to clean her eyes and ears?
Daddy and I love you so much- words cannot even tell you how much.
You were the most special and wonderful thing to ever happen to us.
You brought us 13 years of laughter and joy.
Our hearts are breaking.
You are our angel sweet Waddy.
I wish to just hold you once more, tell you that I love you, and get fishes from you.
You will never be forgotten. Daddy, Lila, and I are lost without you.
We LOVE you, forever.
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and Lila

Marley was a true gentle giant and I miss her terribly.
She was a special girl who lived by routine.
Each day she would race outside do what needed to be done and then race back inside for her morning piece of toast.
She would then wait for me to return from the barn to give her breakfast.
I cooked all her meals for her because I wouldn't feed her dog food and Chicken and Rice was her most favourite.
Everybody says each day will get better.
She outlived the normal Saint Bernard life expectancy but I still wasn't ready.....
Marley I Love You.....

Cheryl

Sorely missed friend, who was taken too early, it was not his time! We found our characterful, beautiful black and white Marley on our driveway...he had crawled there after a suspected hit by a car, I heard him crying pitifully for help.

We had to take him as an emergency to the vet who could not save him - he had a broken spine and paralysed. He was put to sleep. Marely lies in peaceful rest in our garden, where he fondly played and stalked.

Ross and Yvonne Gatty

Marley- we love you and will miss you forever...

Taryn Homick

Marley, I miss you so much.
You were such a gentle dog.
I loved curling up next to you and falling asleep.
I keep seeing you in my mind - I will never forget you.
I will miss your greetings whenever we returned home, and your sloppy kisses when you were happy.
I wish you were here now.
We have pictures to remember what you looked like, and my heart will always remember your love.
Love, Chloe

Marleydogg, you were my best friend. You were taken from me unexpectedly and it has been the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my life. I miss and love every little thing about you, even how much u hated baths and the car. I remember raising u from a little sick puppy to the handsome strong joyful dog u grew up to be. You'll be remembered and missed forever, I promise you. Thanks for being there through thick and thin and I'm so miserably sorry I could not be there to see u pass or take that pain from you. It will haunt me forever. I'm sorry boy!

Love u Mr. Marlis,
Justin

Sweet fella,

Mars, you were another member of our family from the moment we adopted you in 1995. You loved to sleep, eat, be rubbed on your head, be hugged by anyone. You often thought you were a lap dog, all 130 pounds of yellow fur! You loved Christmas wrap and sleeping with Ryan. You never wanted to be away from us yet you guarded us faithfully. You made it easy to love you. That's all you ever wanted. I admired your strenghth toward the end. You never complained. I will miss your big brown eyes, your smiles, your knowledge knot, your loyalty. There will never be another friend like you. We love and miss you, buddy.

Joe, Chris, Meg, Ryan, Shadow, and Sam

We received Marley into our lives in Oct. 1999 as her owners were abusive and neglected her, they failed to watch her and she was hit by a car. She lost a tooth and had 16 staples in her hind leg. They didn't want to pay the vet anymore to remove the staples so they were going to drop her off in the country. Thank God that a member of there family took her and asked us to keep her. I guess they were the type of people that wanted the "mocho Rottweiler" but didn't research how to care for that breed. Every bit of love and care we gave her she has repaid a thousand time. We hurt deeply and miss you. Our home feels so empty without you here.

Kevin & Julie Simpson

Marley mattered so much to me. He helped share my life through many lonely, difficult days. He was my little baby, and he was always there for me. He died in my arms; the last thing he did was look up at me.

Thank you Marley for the light of your strong, sweet, good little spirit.
I love you.
I miss you.

Tammy Taylor

Marley baby girl, we love you and miss you dearly... Thanks for all the unconditional love you gave us every day of your life. We are honored to have had you in our lives and you will always remain in our thoughts and hearts...
So long my friend until we meet again... Un beso grande and safe journey..., Chris, Lady, Max y Peppe....

Marley,

I miss you so much now and always will. You were my constant companion for over 12 years and my heart is so sad at your loss.

Love you!

Joanna Cecin

The first time we met Marley, we had lost a cat a few months previous to finding him.
I convinced John to go to the humane society to go "look" at a cat.
John was going, but in protest.
We walked around the cat room, when this one particular cat stuck his paw out at grabbed my husbands finger.
That is when John was literally hooked.
We brought Marley home that day.
He was a great addition to our family.
Though
our cat Hemi would have disagreed at first.
Marley was a great hunter, and a great snuggler.
In June of 2007, Marley was in a terrible cat fight which proved to be a battle for his life.
He rallied for a few months, then, when his big brother Hemi went missing, Marley seemed to decline.
You were such a good boy, and I know that you were in a lot of pain at the end.
I know that you are no longer in pain, and you are there with Korri and Hemi.
We will love you and miss you forever.

Jessica, John and Brooke Robinsonat

We are all so sorry to see you leave us.
You definitely left too soon.
But, I guess you're over Rainbow Bridge with Bo, playing like you used to.
And hopefully, we'll all be together again someday.
Your Mommy and Daddy and Charlie miss you so much.
I'll miss having my "Birthday Girl".
Cindy

I will miss Marley, he always sleped on my pillow, he thaught that it was his and would push my head off and claw me if I tried to reclaim it.
The morning alarm clock in the last year of his life, 4 am was the time he needed attention.
He would like his dish filled but would only eat a little, if the food got too old he would need it replaced.
Water from the waterbottle lid was his way. If he saw you with a water bottle he would like some too.
He needed to have what you were eating too, pices of ham off a pizza and tuna juice that was a favourite.
I will miss his routine he had the foot warmer the endless love he gave.
He was always there when I needed an ear.
He would not talk back just listen. No other pet could replace him as he was my #1 Marley and my baby.

Wendy van der Stam

We love you and miss you marlie so much even Archie your brother isnt the same without you he misses you everyday playing with you and you chewing on his bigs ears, lol...Daddy and I miss you tremendously...your family misses you so much and wishes you were here WE LOVE YOU MARLIE you live on in our hearts...until we meet again, Love Always

Chely and Pedro

To my little baby - my Marly. You touched my heart like no one ever has. You needed me but I needed you more. My heart is so broken. Who will wake me each morning? Who will sleep right next to me each evening? Who will follow my every single foot step? Marly, mommie could have never let you go. My heart is so heavy. You were running and playing a week ago and now you are gone. Please God, please let there be animals in Heaven and me and my Marly can be reunited in Gods glorious kingdom. Mommie misses you more than she ever realized was possible with a furry friend. Big Suzy missed you so bad, too and Dad too.

Vicki

My dearest angel in fur, you were the good in my life, I will miss you forever, a part of my heart has been ripped out. No wonder I will always treasure you more than any person on this earth - you never blamed me, cursed me, hit me. I thank God for the pets in my life for they have been more loving than any person I've known.

Amanda

My Marmalade come to me from a pet rescue group when she was 10 weeks old. Her nickname was Baby Baby.

She soon settled in with me and my other cats always vocal with her demands. She was my sensitive one. And too young to be taken from me.

I miss her very much. I know you are with the angels my Baby Baby.

Jane

I miss you my little sweet potato-pie.
You are always in my heart.
Sometimes I think I feel you lying next to me or see you out by the garden.

Jeff, Kimber, Nana, Grandpa Grant and Will all miss you terribly.

Be strong and now that you are always with me.

Jennifer Peyton

My favorite thing at the end of the day was Marmalade.
I don't know of another cat that loved a good old fashioned belly rub as much as that big boy.
He loved being brushed and laying in the sun; head-butting was also a favorite past-time with that little sweet potato.

It was a blessing that Marmalade came into my life and I treasure and always miss his companionship dearly.

Jennifer Peyton

Marzipan, you will forever be in my heart.
I'm so sorry that you were taken from me so quickly and so early in your life.
I know that you never liked sitting in anyone's lap but mine, but we will be reunited some day, and my lap is all yours.
I love you, kitty cat.

PS-I'm takin great care of Ubu.
Even though I know you're keepin an eye out for us :)

Abigail Feltner

Marmot,
I miss the comfort of knowing you'll be there when I wake up and when I come home from work.
I miss the kisses you would give me on the tip of my nose whenever I would hold you.
Your life was cut way too short, but I wanted to let you know that you were loved and are still loved.

I will always remember you!
Love mom

Our very special pet Marnie, she is now at rest. We will miss you every minute of every day Boo Boo.
May peace be with our special girl, until we meet again know that we love you and please take care
Love Mum & Dad
xoxox
P.S Go find Aunty Nicki

Rest in peace sweet girl.

Deborah Grissom

I never knew how much a four legged animal could affect my life, not only through life but through death.
I miss you, Marsala, with all my heart and soul.
You may not be suffering anymore, but we are.
Until we meet again, Cel Dog, I love you.

Danielle and Joe Young

Marshall(Marty) (Schweetie)
My forever friend - who was always there for me and will always be in my heart. The only brown eye boy I have ever loved.
Love you.

Mary Ann Cotter

Marshall was a rescue dog with the soul of an old man. He knew the english language just the same as you and I.
We had no idea he was ill until 24 hours before his passing.
He was my best friend, gardening buddy and protector.
I couldnt stop crying on the day his heart stopped beating and I wished that it was just a bad nightmare the next day but it was all real.
Dear Marshall, your love for all of us will never fade.
Your smile will be forever in our eyes.
You my dear friend were my love.
And now I have to busy myself with life as if it never happened because so many people around me just dont get it.
Run, play, jump and live the rest of your days boy without pain.
You have no leash to hold you.
I will see some day again.
Love MOM



Suddenly your little heart gave out and went to join Tina,Hank, Marshall & Marshall II at the Rainbow Bridge. Marshall III & I are sad, & miss your antics very much, but we will see you all when we get there.
Yours was a very short life, but filled to the brim with love. We will never forget what you ment in our lives.At least your passing was very sudden and you did not suffer at all, thank God for that.

S.T. Symmes

Hey Marshmellow (a.k.a. Fat One)
I'm so sorry we had to say goodbye so quick.
I just couldn't stand to see you suffer anymore.
You had gotten so sick so quickly and I didn't know what to do.
When the X-Ray showed your heart was extremely enlarged and had fluid all around it, I knew I had to let you go.
But even with all that information, I still couldn't give the orders to end it.
Mom hated doing it, but she talked to the vet on the phone and they decided that it was for the best.
I am glad I got to see you at your last moments.
I made sure you were comfortable and I knew it would be okay when you looked at me before the vet started and started to purr as if to say "thank you for such a wonderful life."
I miss you so much!
Love,
Kourt

Our dearest Marshy, Thank you for the love you have given us for the last 2.5 years. We love you so so much. Why do you like going out at night to risk your little life? The horrible car that hit you, I will never forgive that driver. Marshy, you mean the world to us.
Love Mama, Dada and Tara
xxxxxx



Today I lost a special part of my life.
My darling Marshy.
I know we will meet again some day, and that day with Jesus.
But until then, I will always be sad and miss you.
Always.
I will never forget how much she loved me, and cuddled under my chin whenever she was afraid.
She was the best bunny a bunny could ever be.
Whenever I was upset I went to her and cuddled her and she always comforted me.
Even when the worst came.
I will never forget you Marshy.

Hannah Dustin

Marta was a wonderful, gentle dog and a key part of the family for thirteen and a half years. Sure, she could be stubborn and temperamental at times - just like her owners. There will never be another like her. You had a good run, Marta; we love you and we miss you.

Erin Roll

MARTHA .. MY BELOVED BEST FRIEND. YOU ARE MY HEART AND MY EVERY BREATH. I MISS YOU SO MUCH .. I ACHE FOR YOUR PAW ON MY FACE. YOUR FACE ON MY NECK .. YOUR PURR IN MY EAR. I MISS YOU.

Suzie

My beautiful blue-eyed baby who always had something to say; now there is silence, yet I still hear you.

Madeleine Jackson

Our Martha went to the Rainbow Bridge early Sunday morning, January 13, 2008. She was a 3 year old small white laboratory mouse, the last of thirty-five mice who were graduates of the LaGuardia Community College Vet Tech program in early June, 2005. These brave little troopers served the cause of higher education well and enjoyed a well earned retirement in West Hempstead subsequently. We loved them dearly and they are all greatly missed.

We were together for almost 1/2 my life.
The most faithful companion I could have ever asked for.
I love you more than words can express.
I will miss you greatly.
Rest in Peace my beloved.
Until we meet again..

All my love,
Amy

On Saturday, December 6th, our little Martini's liver failed him and he went to live, run and play with the angels.

Scot and I are devastated and heartbroken, but we realize what a blessing Martini was in our lives and we're relieved he is not in pain anymore.

We will miss, love and cherish him forever ~ Martini lived 8 1/2 pampered, adored and very loved years ~ he was our first-born.

Beth and Scot

Perfect little sweetheart.
So loving and gentle.
Beautiful angel heart.
I will miss you until we are together again in the Happy Place.
No more pain.
No more suffering.
You are
healthy, strong and young again. I'm so happy for you. I love you with all my heart.
You were so cuddly and soft, like living velvet.
Be happy sweetheart.
My tears are for me, the pain of saying goodbye.
But my smile is for you and your wonderful new life.

Debbie Riemer

Marty was a loyal companion and a great dog full of fun and energy. She leaves with us her daughter Rosey who is 11 and who we know will miss her mom very much. You touched our lives and we will never ever forget you our good girl.

Jane Pettifer

MY WONDERFUL MARTY. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AND HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART. I REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU LIKED IT HERE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND HOW FREE YOU FELT. THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A SPECIAL PART OF MY LIFE. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU. I KNOW WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN AND UNTIL THEN I WANT YOU TO KNOW I LOVE YOU "MARPY" AND I ALWAYS WILL. LOVE, MOMMY

Marty was our best friend..Always there for us and he is deeply missed.
Now there is no more suffering or pain for him.
He is in a better place, happy and healthy again.
We will always love him and will see him again someday..

Liz and Dave

Marty, I miss you so much everyday.
Love Mom

Little Marvella was a sweet, sweet foster kitten I took in.
I only had her for a week before she took a sudden turn for the worse and then stopped eating.
She was a beautiful fluffy Siamese-looking kitten, and loved to sit on my lap and be brushed.
I could have found her five homes.
I'm truly sorry to see her go.

Allison

Mary was diabetic and blind for 3 years.
During that time our whole life revolved around her and her schedule.
She often struggled but was always so sweet and gentle.
Seems like the only joy she got out of life was eating and being petted.
We had to have her put to sleep last week due to kidney failure.
The Vet. never could seem to get her blood sugar regulated either.

We miss her so much.
I seem to really be having a tough time dealing with her loss.
I've lost several dogs in my life but never felt as devestated as I have this time.
I still find myself looking for her, thinking about having to rush home from work to take care of her.
I pray each day the Lord will get me thru this and I feel so selfish for grieving so much.

God Bless all of you who has lost such a beloved pet.
Mary, we miss you.
Granny Ann and Papa Wheeler

Dear Mary Lou,
You were so special in our lives.
You had a way of making everyone notice and love you, especially when you would accompany Fr. Ray to Church and join in the singing of hymns during services.
Even the Archbishop noticed you and would ask news of you each time he would meet Fr. Ray.
May you now use your beautiful voice to praise your maker in heaven.
We will miss you and never forget the joy you brought to each of our lives.

Fr. Ray, Gerry, Larry, James, Courtney, Terri

Maryjane was a very good cat. She was just a little kitten sitting in the moddle of the road in the rain when I found her. She taught both of my sons to crawl.
Just laying out of there reach so they had to move to get her.
She was always there for me when I just needed companionship.
she will be greatly missed.
She was my first pet I could call my own.

Melanie Freeman

Masey's Legacy
We didn't even know what an English Pointer looked like before we laid eyes on our beautiful Mae Mae.
After having Masey as part of our family for nine wonderful years, we learned to appreciate thebeauty and dignity of not only Masey herself, but of the breed .
Because of Masey:
We will always have a Pointer in our home and a Pointer will always have a home with us.

We did adopt a rescued Pointer shortly after we lost Masey and along with our other dog, we have two beautiful girls.
I still think of Masey everyday. I recently read a quote somewhere that went something like:
Don't cry because you lost something, smile because you had it.
I do smile because we had nine wonderful years with Masey,
But I still miss her so much that I can't always stop the tears.
Someday we will all be together again.

Lori & Rand Thompson

Mason was a magnificent Cocker Spaniel with huge, deep, brown eyes and cream-colored warm fur. He was gentle, sweet, loving, and humble, without a mean bone in his body. He would follow people everywhere they went, sleep on feet, and rub his soft little body against people when they were sad. What a beautiful spirit Mason had- and will continue to possess.

Debbie

Our beloved companion will forever remain in our hearts.

Lisa Cole

A great Pal and friend

Clyde H. Miller

Mason,

We had nearly 14 terrific years together; you lived a long good life, but it never seems like enough time.
The house feels so empty without you here.
I am so grateful to have had you in my life; you have been my comfort and my joy during the good and the hard times. You were a little trooper, dealing with epilepsy, recurrent pancreatitis and finally cancer - always with a great disposition.
I wish you could have stayed longer, but I never wanted you to suffer.
As hard as it was, I'm glad I was there to hold you at the end.
You were one of a kind and I will miss you every day.

Love,
Mom

Your time with us was too short but know you will be in our hearts forever. Our perfect little boy, we miss you so.

Amanda and Eric Schlosser

Master Mason,

I was so tickled to bring you into our lives from the rescue shelter.
Even though I had to "sneak" you into our home since your Dad wasn't too thrilled with having another noodle poodle.
You won him over.
He tried to keep it secret that you had done so, but I knew better.
As did you!

We only got to have you for six short years and you will be missed terribly.
I know with time it will become easier, but we will never forget you.
We will always love you. Nothing will fill this void we have in our hearts.

You were so full of personality.
The one who never got upset when you were in trouble and the one who could always bring a smile to my face.

We look forward to seeing you again and playing endless games of ball.

Love you forever,

Your Mommy and Daddy

You were such a good boy, and we miss you already.

Jess

Matho - loving, loyal and brave family companion.
Best doggon dog in the West.
I know you will be waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.
Take care of Rocky, Zee, Tuxedo, Deisel and Chippy until we meet again.

A big furry gentle giant, I will miss her forever. I love you MattyLou, I miss your big wet kisses!

We miss you so much.
Your sweetie, Raven, keeps looking for you everywhere.
Raven misses you terribly.

Matrix, you were the best companion ever!!

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, Raven, Michael & Johnny

you were only with us for a few months, but became part of the family instantly.
We knew you were the one for us.
We miss you very much & will ALWAYS love you.
You were our furry little girl...

Love, Mommy & Daddy

You filled our hearts with happy and our home with giggles.
The spot you once kept next to me is as empty as my arms, my lil Mattie girl.
I miss you so.

Patti & Michael

Mattie...you were and always will be the best friend I ever had.
I never would have made it though the past ten years without you...losing Daddy, the good-bad-ugly boyfriends, and the break-ups, college and everything else.
You were the only stable thing in my life and my reason for getting out of bed in the morning!
I dont really know what I am going to do without you!
I miss you so bad my heart hurts.
I hope you give Dad as many good times in heaven as you gave me here!
I love you more than anything and always will!

Love,
Me

Our little princess Mattie.
We know that you are so happy to be reunited at Rainbow Bridge with you big brother Pokey.
We always said that every time you looked upward toward the heavens that Pokey was talking to you from Rainbow Bridge and telling you how much fun he was having.
You were a very special little girl to us.
You had your "time in the sun" just as your brother did all those years.
Mattie, you were the sweetest little thing that we had ever seen.
You were so special to me and Paula and we thank God every day that you came into our lives.
It must have been fate that you came to us in a very special way little girl.
That Sunday when we picked you up, you stole our hearts immediately and we knew that you needed to be a part of our family and be reunited with your brother Pokey.
You gave us 16 years of your unconditional love and we thank you so much for those wonderful times.
Mattie, you are now whole again and running and playing at Rainbow Bridge with Pokey and all your new friends.
We miss you so much, Paula and I have been blessed to have experienced your love.
You suffered the last 4 weeks of your life but now you suffer no more.
We will always love you and Pokey and we thank God every day for giving you two wonderful creatures to us.
We would love to still have you with us but we know that you are in a much better place than we are in.
We will see you again some day.
Enjoy your time at Rainbow Bridge and know that you will always be in our heart and soul.
Sleep well our "Little Princess".

Love Always,

Your Momma and Daddy

Miss Mattie was the sweetest girl dog anyone could have asked for....she had the terrier spirit, a loving way about her and eyes that spoke volumes. I will forever miss my best friend and companion.

to the best dog anyone could ever imagine, she touched so many lives with her loving personality, her adorable face, and eyes that could melt your heart.
She is gone, but will live in our hearts forever, love Her Mom and Dad

My beautiful sweet baby girl, I hope someday that the pain in my heart will go away.
I say this for your heartbroken 5yr. old Shar-pei brother Sidney that you left behind too. I know we were Kin-der Souls from the minute I saw you. I will never forget your sweet gentle ways, how you bounced when you got excited, your funny smacking and how you liked your booty scratched. Why you chose to stay on this earth only 4yrs & 4 months I'll never know. Why Kidney Failure struck and took you from me within 2 weeks I never know either. I am very grateful that we were able to spend every hour of everyday of your short life together.You will be sadly missed by our family for the rest of our lives. Mattie Mae 10/12/03-01/28/08

Mattie Marie will always be our princess:)

My baby...My fighter!!! I miss you soooooooo much baby...you were so sweet...so funny!!!
You filled my life with happiness & hurts so much that you are not here anymore! but It was time baby I did not want you to suffer anymore you were holding & resisting only for me, I know. You were 16 already & you live your life very well & happy! never had problem until last year. You went through 4 operations without any problem, You were a real FIGHTER baby!
Until you got that terrible cancer that you cannot fight anymore! still you were holding & try to fight it as much as you can but unfortunately this time you could not beat it!
You were so aware of everything & used to play with your toys as you were still a puppy, you were so cute baby!
Today is one month since you left and still feels like it was yesterday.
Sometimes when I go out & go back home, I still think you gonna come out and greet me! all happy as always!
I know you are in heaven now... playing, running, eating all the table food you always like, sweets & cookies and I also know you are watching over me mamita, papito & Isabella even when you will not be able to meet her & know you will love her as much as I will when she is born!
Thank you for all these 16 wonderful years Matty!
I will always love you, miss you & remembering you!
Love you always...
Mamita

I lost my best friend recently.
MaudE was the absolute best friend I have ever had.
She came into my life at a time when I desperately needed her.
And she never ever let me down.
The most well behaved little gal.
Always doing her cheek to cheek with me.
And never failed to answer back when I came home and said, "Hello MaudE"
and she would respond, Hee Woo.
She will never be replaced.
And losing her has been one of the most difficulty things I have had to deal with.
My partner, best friend ever for nearly 14 years.
How can a person just go on when you lose the one friend who has shared every day with you for that many years.
She will forever be in my mind and my heart.
And I loved her dearly and beyond measure or words.
I think of you every day.
And I miss you more than you will ever know.
MomE

We all miss you Mauer.
You were a great little puppy that we thought would be with us for years to come.
We love you and hope you are in a save place.

You were my Thanksgiving Kitty.
We had tried for many months to entice you in after you had been abandoned in the neighborhood. You would eat on the front porch, but would not come close - until that Thanksgiving in October 1998.
I had the door open, bringing in groceries - and you just walked in. MaxiCat accepted you into his life and household without hesitation.
You were ill, timid,it took many months before you would purr.When you went to the vet to be nuetered you bit him:) With time you became more affectionate, demanding pats bumping your head against us, licking us with the roughest tongue of all the cats. You and Maxi became the inseperable Catboys. You were always the smart one - figuring things out, problem solving. Other cats came into our lives, years went on, the other kitties passed away, life changed,your other person left, in the end it was you, Max and I.
When you became ill this summer I hoped you would respond to the meds.
I had forgotten how you hated to be medicated, we fought you and I until now - you avoiding the medication, I struggling to get it into you.
In the end the illness was more than you or I could take. As I held you at the vets this morning, you bumped your head into my hand one last time. Part of me left with you this morning. But I wanted you to be at peace, to be healthy, to be happy, to once again chirp at the birds, to chase sun shadows on the walls... In the end you lay in my arms, for the first time in months there seemed to be a peaceful aura about you. Max and I wish you godspeed on your journey.
We will love you always.

Nila and Maxicat.

We miss our special girl.
She will forever be in our hearts and memories.
Goodbye baby girl, we'll be together again someday!

Kim and Tara

Maui

Sweet, gentle, loving friend

Big fluffy orange cat

He even purred when he was getting a shot at the vet's.
The vet said "This cat is all love!"

Lived 15 years in a house full of people who loved him
and love him still

I know Maui is one of my guardian angels

With love,
your Mark

On February 18, our loyal little friend, Maui, lost his battle with kidney disease.
Unfortunately, the deepest cut is that we couldn't be with him at the end because we were in Hawaii for a brief vacation.
We're thankful that my Mom and Dad were, so that he wasn't entirely alone.
We miss him terribly!
While we are sad and adjusting to life without him, our hearts are full of 19 years + 8 mos of memories of our affectionate, talkative, boon companion.
We will always remember him walking around the block with us.
Digging up our neighbors' iris and daffodil bulbs and lining them up on our back porch.
His numerous hunting trophies (ick!).
His mischievous and hilarious antics. His soothing and very loud purr.
His insisting on sleeping on the sunny spots of our desks, on the softest chairs and on our bed.
But, most of all, his unconditional love and friendship.
Farewell, sweet Maui.
Safe travels.

Maurice - we love you and will miss you. I hope you find a bench in heaven where you will wait to meet up with me again. Life will be lonely without you but you will never be forgotten.

Vicki Jozef

My baby boy Maurie,

You were my little partner in crime, my best friend. I loved you more than I think anyone will ever understand.

Thankyou for being there all the times that I really needed you. Thankyou for being my little pal.

I know things really changed when Ruby came along and I am sorry that I couldnt keep you safe with me. It may have felt like I wasnt there very much anymore, but I always loved you and that never changed.

I wish I could of been with you when you passed, but I know that you were not alone and that makes me happy. I gave you a long cuddle goodbye once you were already gone.

I hope there are lots of pigs ears, chicken and cows on rainbow bridge, that you can see properly again and that everything is just perfect in the way in which you deserve. Cookie will help keep you safe and Smoggy should be there too! If you meet Tammy tell her we all love her and miss her as well. If you ever see little Bailey there look after him for me and tell him that I love him too.

I love you Maurie. We all love you. I wont ever forget you. Be a good boy and we will all see you again on the rainbow bridge.

Goodbye my little pal xx

Alison Lee

To my sweet best friend Maury,

Thank you for being with me always since I was about 9 years old. We were there the day you were born and we were there the day we had to put you down. Please forgive us, we did not want to see you in pain, we thought it was best. You will always be remembered and missed, every day of our lives. You were loyal, playful and protective, I hope you were able to see how much we loved you.

May you rest in peace my beloved friend, and daughter.

Jenny

Dear my wonderful, sweet and loving Mauwers,
I miss you more than you will ever know but I also know that now you are in a wonderful place where you are healthy again and happy as ever. From the moment you walked into my life I fell in love with you, you stole my heart and you honestly saved me. You were my perfect companion. I remember the moments where I felt that we were so close that our hearts were talking, I miss that. You were the most amazing gift that I have ever recieved, I feel so lucky to have had the honor to be your Mom. I will carry you in my heart always, thank you for everything you have given me. You taught me patience, kindness, unconditional love, along with countless life lessons. I will miss you and look forward to when we will be in eternity together, thank you so much for being such a wonderful and loving son. I love you always and forever. Love always,

Your Mommy

We love you, will miss you and you gave so many years of happiness, we hope your at peace baby boy and we will never ever forgot you not for one moment of any day.
Your Mommie

To my beloved Maverick.
You brought so much happiness to our lifes.
You were a great traveling companion, therapy dog, agility partner, and obedience was natural for you.
You were One In A Million.
You are still king of the yard.... I miss those kisses.....

Angela R. Suydam

Maverick, Mavie as we called him was such a special little Boy in our lives. A very good Dog, everyone said so including us. There will be a big void in our lives now because of these great loss. There was not a person that came into contact with him that didn't fall in love with him. We all will miss him so..

Ellen & Earl Erkkila

TRULY A COMPANION LIKE NO OTHER.

Mickey and Judy

Mavey, you have always been a good boy and I am so thankful for every single day of the 11.5 years that we had together.
I will miss your sweet eyes, the way your whole bottom wiggled when you would wag your tail, the way you were always excited to see me and a million other things about you.
Mommy is very sad and hurting right now without you, but I promise to get better because I know how sensitive you always were to my feelings and how it bothered you for me to be upset - - so I will do my very best to be as strong and brave as you were.
We will see each other again and I am really looking forward to giving you a kiss on your head, rubbing your belly and shaking your paw.
I love you my Good Boy!

Karen Lammers

Maverick was the sweetest, kindest dog.
Everyone who met her loved her.

We miss you so much Maverick, you brought so much joy and laughter to our home. We love you.

Ed & Pat Norlander

My dear sweet girl.
You made the journey to Rainbow Bridge yesterday.
We love you so much and our pain is so great but we know that you can now walk and run again.
Before you left I told you to let me know that you got there safely.
Late yesterday afternoon, a Rainbow appeared in the stormy sky.
We then knew that you were ok.

We love you forever our wonderful girl.

Love mom and dad

someone so special should live forever.

Dave Marriott

Max was an 11 1/2 year old rottie who had a pretty rough year.
He was a vibrant, very handsome, funny charachter who gave his owner and family , owners mother, brother and many others years of joy and love.
He will be dearly missed by all of us.
Most of all, he will be missed by his brother, Bronx ( a true sibling).

We love you, Max.
We will never forget you.

Helene

Your favoutite game was "I'm gonna get your tail",simply say that and you'll run like the wind...........back to me to dodge and off again and again.You'll play this for hours.

Just 13 months old you had captivated all who new you........ and stole my heart.
You slipped on ice in our garden,your garden..................the safest place or so we thought.Crashing into the wall you'd shattered your leg and shoulder,the vets said amputation was the only course.
This may suit some,but not a wind chaser like you boy.... it was the hardest descision that i had to make............ Run now boy "Gonna get ya tail....."

Russ

Max,
you came into my life so many years ago and i loved every minute. when your first dad died i promised id take care of you. i hope you think i did a good job. i tried so hard to make you happy. i hope i made you as happy as you made me. i have a hard time sleeping at night, i keep waiting for you to curl up with me. you were more than a cat to me. you were my baby. i had you cremated, and i will be spreading you ashes at your real dads grave. that way you and he will be together in death. i feel privilaged to have had you in life.
i love you more than you will ever know.
love mom

Max, my dear boy...you are missed beyond belief. This Friday would have been your 15th birthday, I'm sorry you couldn't be here for it:( You are thought of every day and I still grieve. I'm sorry I won't be able to make this Monday's candle ceremony, but I will hold one in my heart for you. I pray that you are having a great time running in the green grass with all your new friends you have made. I miss and love you very much...until we meet again.

Tricia

We miss you so much Maxy Bird.
You were so funny and entertaining, so cheerful and full of life!
Our home isn't the same without you but we are so grateful that you didn't suffer and were happy and energetic right up until the end.
We know you are in heaven with Sadie and you are letting her know when someone is about to come in.
You two always worked together!
We love and miss you so much.
We were blessed to have you for 23 years.
Mom

In loving memory of a great companion, Max, who had to leave us after only 6 short years on this Earth and with our family.
Max, I know you were in pain, and I did not want you to suffer - so I hope you understand my decision.
I love you and miss you so much, and I will come visit you everyday where we buried you under your favorite tree in the yard.
Now you can meet Mom and Grammy and make them happy up in heaven.

Shannon

Maxi you were in our life for so short, but you taught us so much.
You will always bring a smile to our face.
We love you always and we'll see you again one day.

Dan S

Max, my big beautiful boy, you were the light of my life.

Our time together was much too short, only three years, but our bond of love is something only other pet lovers could understand. We were never apart more than a few hours at a time. Max was so special, so sweet, gentle and loving.
We fought his seizures with everything we had, but they finally developed into clusters that could no longer be controlled.
Then after the last round
of clusters I knew I had lost Max to brain damage, all the signs were there.
Lord, it hurts so bad knowing I had to make the decision to let him go, even tho I'm grateful he no longer suffers.
I know Max's spirit is still with me and we'll have such a reunion at Rainbow Bridge.
He will remain in my heart 'til then.

Phyllis Booras

Max left us suddenly today.
Hit by a car.
He wondered into our lives about a year ago as a stray looking for a family to love.
He brought unconditional love and affection to our family.
He will be deeply missed. I will miss him laying next to me at night and curling up in my lap while watching TV or reading.
All he wanted was love and attention.
He died a very happy dog.

Sheila Allen

Max was the only pet we could have since there are severe cat/dog allergies in our family.
He was a sweet, lovable, wonderful hamster, and very much a part of this family.
He loved watermelon, apples, carrots, and especially yogurt, which he would eat out of a little spoon every morning -- and we would often find him lounging peacefully in his tower, usually filled with little treats he'd bring up there. We will miss him so much.
We love you, Maxy.
From Mommy, Andre, and Alex

Max will live forever in our hearts. He was loved by all who met him. He had a loyal, playful, loving spirit and sweet, gentle soul. He will be missed very, very much. He had many years of happiness and gave so much happiness as well. Until we meet again, my wonderful friend and handsome good boy.

Patricia Lichioveri

Max was in our shelter for 2 years.
He was a classified Dangerous dog.
I grew to know him very well and even though I knew eventually he would be euthanized, I loved him.
I miss him and I know someday he will walk at my side.

Belinda

I wish I could have had you from early on, but I rescued you at the ripe old age of 14 years. You were my best friend and buddy for the next 4 years. It came then that I could hardly take care of myself let alone you and you only deserved the best as you gave me. I didn't want you grieving for me so I thought what was best and put you to rest. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of the loyalaty that you gave me. You are so sadly missed and wish I could have gave you more as you gave me..

Lori Davies

Max, I have tried to write this before.
I don't know what exactly to say.
as your fourth home, we tried to make it the best forever home.
we didn't mind carrying you upstairs, in from going outside etc.
You walked your own path at the dog park. Going the long way around.
You fit in the day you came, and your snorkling, and snoring is missed. You had to sit beside me on the couch by and under my feet,
occasionally licking my leg.
I need to stop,
I can't type anymore.
I am a crying mess.
I think of you daily.
Mr. Sprikles, Maxifrass, Maxi.

Michael and Christopher

Max was our trusted dog for almost 14 years.
He was a black and white springer and was a fun and fiesty little puppy.
He grew up with us and eventually our 4 children.
He was a fun and friendly dog who loved bones and loved people.
He used to love to chase snowballs in the winter.
He was getting old and was in alot of pain.
It was the most difficult decision to end his life, but we know you are at peace.
We will see you again one day.
We love and miss you Max with all our hearts.
Our home feels empty without you.

Suze, Tom & kids

To the smartest dog with the most profound personality who loved to eat and have ice cubes.

Cris Colling

Max was our daughter's dog. We got him when she was a first-grader, but he was mine and my wife's after our daughter went off to college. Max's favorite past-time was chasing golf balls in a cemetery near our house. We'd leave the golf balls hidden in the cemetery, come back a week later, and he went right to where we'd concealed it. Very smart dog. He hated cats, and any other varmit, such as possums or raccoons that came into his yard. Like our younger dachshund, Max developed cushings disease. But the vet was able to manage his. Max went down in his back at age 16 1/2 years old. At that time, he was already very frail, was having a hard time getting out of bed and out to the yard. The vets offered to do back surgery, but we frankly didn't believe Max could survive or recovery from that at his age. My wife and I never cried so hard as we did when we held Max and the the Vet administered the lethal injection. When our other dachshund, Zoe, was put down six months later, she was in a coma and was unaware what was happening. But Max was looking at us. It was terrible. They are buried side-by-side in our backyard, each with their own markers. We miss them so much .....

Bob Lowry

For my special little guy, my sweetheart. He was a constant joy. I loved his cute little face and black lips and button nose. He would cock his head back and forth when listening to someone as tho' you were the most interesting person on earth. He would rush to lick away my tears.He got me thru so much heartache and I don't know how I will go on without him. I always told him he was the best boy on earth. And I really thought he was. I loved him with all my heart and would give anything to have him back.

Claire Crishon

Dear Max,
I know that you didn't really get the chance to know you that well, but we just want you to know that we all loved you and wanted to have a wonderful long life. At least we can say that at our house, was the best times of your life.

The Mentlick Family

Today, sweet, little Max left us for Rainbow Bridge, where he now roams happy and carefree.

Max came to us at age 10-1/2 on February 9, 2008, when our son and his girlfriend found the sweet, little boy, lost and cold, wandering the streets in the early morning hours. The rescue group HART enthusiastically agreed to sponsor Max, while we offered to foster him until a loving, forever home was found; but, that long-term plan was not meant to be. Max suffered from many illnesses, including terminal cancer. However, those challenges never dimmed the spark of joy and wonder that burned brightly within him.

Max was a lovely, little boy, with the sweet face of a beagle and the bold determination of a Rottweiler. He was loved by everyone who came to know him. And who could resist those silly, little, tabbed ears, alert with curiosity, those gorgeous brown puppy eyes (ringed with a natural dog-fur mascara), and that proud show-dog stance. Max adored napping on the deck in the warm sunshine (though to tell the truth, he was also wise enough to realize that the sun is sometimes best enjoyed from the air-conditioned comfort of home). He also loved to burrow into mounds of freshly laundered and sweetly scented blankets and comforters. Max loved nature walks (and a good roll in the grass) and, being the beagle-boy he was, he loved to take in the world around him on his own terms. And food, boy did Max love food. When he was excited, Max's little body would quiver and quake with excitement, and he would wriggle, jump, and scamper with his canine companions Carrie and Storm, simply enjoying being a dog. His stubby, little, docked tail "enveloped in a cute rottie poof of fat"would jiggle with excitement. And when he was especially happy, he would twirl around and around encouraging a good back scratch from whoever was within easy reach. The boy was certainly not shy.

What Max may have lacked in youth, health, and energy, he more than made up for with a soaring spirit. Max was a daring little guy, who never let his advancing age and infirmities slow him down. Max loved life, and life loved him right back. And, he would let everyone know how truly happy he was with soft, gentle, deep-throated grunts that warmed the heart.

As time passed, we came to realize that Max was meant to be more than simply our beloved foster, rather he was meant to be our very own little boy. And so, we adopted Max not only because we loved him dearly, but also because we wanted the world to know that this special dog deserved a special home and that that home would always be with us.

Although he was with us for only a short while, the days shared with Max were certainly among the happiest and most fulfilling we've known, and his memory will live forever in our hearts. Although we rescued him, it could be said that Max rescued us right back. Lyrics of a song from A Muppet Christmas Carol best describe our time with him.

"With a thankful heart that is wide awake,
[we] do make this promise, every breath [we] take
Will be used now to sing your praise
And to beg you to share [our] days
With a loving guarantee that even if we part
[we] will hold you close in a thankful heart."?

May the heavens that welcome you, sweet Max, overflow with yummy treats, snuggly blankets, and warm sunshine, for you deserve only the best. Yours was truly a life worth living, and we honor that.

We will love you always, little Maxwell!
(a.k.a. Maxie, Maxie-Man, Macho-Max, Maxwell Smart, Officer Tubbs, Pumpkin, Little Bean, and Peanut to name only a few).

Alan, Claire, our kind and loving son Chris and his dear girlfriend Elizabeth (who together cared enough to rescue Max), and our wonderful rescue dogs Carrie and Storm (who welcomed grandpa into their home)

Alan, Claire & Christopher Jarvis

i love our pet max.

Logan Chatterson

Max.....you were my Max's namesake, and you made me fall in love with the breed. You were your own boss, and ruled the roost...but you LOVED being around people. You were the only 3 year old "eccentric" dog I ever knew! I love you buddy...play well...I'll never forget you.

Kirby

Beau chien Max...le meilleur.

Isabelle Deslauriers

My sweet Max

I have only had you for 2 short years I thought we would of had many years together. After my 2 other sweet kitty cats passed away 2 years ago It's so hard to go through this again so soon.

I love you my sweet grey boy

Lori

Dear Max,
You were always the best boy/son/companion ever - and you got me through the loss of "your buddy". It wasn't quite time for you to go, but I know you're in a much better place. I miss you so much, I keep seeing you, hearing you and feeling you. I have you forever in my heart. I love you so much, I wish you could have stayed young forever. Your memories will live with me always.
Love,
Your mom

Max - What a great friend you were. You were a member of our family for 14 beautiful years. Sue and I had to let you go, and it tore us up to make that decision. We held you as you as you took your last breath, and a part of us left with you. I am waiting for the day we meet again and travel over the bridge together. When I look into your eyes, I will see no more pain, and we will be together forever. I miss you, Macko.....Good Boy.

Kirby

Max is missed very much by his family, especially Patches and Scootch. We miss how he howled when he heard a car horn. He was as faithful a companion as you could want.

Robert and Christina Pendrak

I was blessed when she was rescued from a dumpster from a correctional facility and given to me at 3 weeks old.She has lived a spoiled life. She will be greatly missed.

Toniann Fiorillo

Max....It was with great sorrow that I heard from your foster Mom about your passing over Rainbow Bridge.
I felt so lucky when I acquired you from Westie Rescue.
You filled a huge hole in my heart after Misty died. The three years we had together were too short but my grandchildren voted you the best dog ever!
Mr. Licky was their name for you.
Rest well my friend.
One day I hope to see all my furbabies once again and when those kisses, wags and purrs come, I'll know I can home to Heaven.

Sandy Schnaidt

Max and I used to play a little game with "kisses".
I had to put him to sleep because he bit my husband very badly.
I miss him very much.
I just lost his buddy, my other dog Thomas.
Now they are together and I know they are happy and waiting for me.

Mary Ann Hull

This morning our 12-year-old dog Max had what in human terms may have been called a "grand mal" seizure.
We decided that it was time to let him go, and so we have said good-bye to our "Maxie-doodles".
We are very sad, but knew the time was coming soon.
We are having him cremated and would like to have some sort of memorial service when we receive his ashes in a few weeks, probably up in the mountains where he liked to explore.

Susan & Richard

Max,
My friend and confidant. Your heart is entwined with mine. I'm glad you are whole and healthy again waiting for me at the Bridge. We will always remember our Max.

Mary Lou Brennan

Our precious little Max, always in our hearts.

Terri, Ted, Matt & Marissa Pallone

Until we meet again my special friend.
your time was too short on earth with me but we will be together never to part again when we meet over the rainbow bridge.
I love you with all of my heart Max!!

Jennifer Kriebel

I rescued Max from someone,who did not want him anaymore.At the Time i rescued him,I could see no Reason,why she did not want him anymore,but it very soon became very obvious,that Max had been abused and probably also had some undetected Health issues.Actually none were ever diagnosed bty the vets,by Max passed away of acute Heart failure while sleeping.He was a very quiet,timid Cat,who would prefer to be by himself rather then with the other cats.He liked to look out of the Window and chatter at the Birds.Although i only had him for 5 Months,I do hope,that he thought he was in a better home.I just wish.,he could have been with me longer and I could hve gooten to know him better.He is in a happy Place now,no more Pain,no more Abuse.Until we meet again.....

Helen Caughell

Keep on hunting we will be together soon and the hunt will begin again. Take this time to rest up and let your hip get stronger so when we get together we can show those pups what a great hunter is. You were the best and my heart breaks to know we will be seperated for awile. But I know you will look down and guide me because you will always be there with me -YOUR THE BEST HUNTER, FRIEND, AND COMPANION. You will be in my heart forever and soon we will be together to continue the hunt. Love you always, Billy, Ed, Dick, Grandpa Bill, Cody and Jake

Max,
you were such a great dog for all those years you became part of the family. you will be missed so much. sadie sends her love and kisses.
love,
becky

Max was a faithful companion and loyal friend for almost 17 years.I take comfort in knowing that he is with other pets who have gone before him.He is no longer in pain and he can hear and run like he did when he was a puppy.It meant so much to be able to tell him that I loved him as he took his last breath.It will be a long time before I stop crying for you.I love you Max and I am looking forward to the day we will be together again.Good bye for now old friend.

Delores Woods

You are greatly missed. Your life was an occassion which we rose to ...

Rebecca

( Wriiting for my sister in law )
Max was Deb's little baby. He was a special needs dog who had special meals cooked daily and spent a lot of time with her in her car, bed,walking and loving her as much as she loved him. He passed today from an Anuransum and died in swconds.
He will be as missed as a child. Deb has no children, so MAX was her child by proxiy.
MAX
will be missed by the whole extended family.

Deborah Hichar

my wonderful dog max whom lost the battle with cancer but won the fight with love, loved always forgotten never always in my heart james

James Bodell

Farewell my special friend. A new journey has begun for you. I love you. Until we meet again somewhere over the rainbow.

Catlyn Feral

My dearest maxyman
You will forever be in my heart and I will always love you please forgive me for the choice I made but you suffering was not an option. Love forever and always Mom.

Tanya

For 13.5 years, Max was with us.
No one could ask for a better companion. He was always there, but never demanding. He loved going to soccer practices and games for my boys. He loved going into the woods behind our house. Sometimes, he just sat cross-legged on the front porch and watched the world go by.
When he wanted in, he simply gave one short bark and would wait.

Max loved us unconditionally and he will greatly be missed.

Jan Hair

We called you Doctor Max because you looked after all the members of our family. You Knew when we or the children were ill and you slept by their bedroom door.
I felt safe with you by my side.
You cared for Oggy your partner in crime and play.
Poor old Oggy misses you terribly, looking at the Garden gate waiting for his buddy to come back.
When his and our times come we will be together once more to go for those walks and adventures.
Until then, rest my faithful friend.

Diana Barnes

Max was my world for the past 14 years. We lost or little Mimi Pom last fall and Max was lost for a short while without her. Max was so special he has seen me thru many hard times when I lost my husband 13 years ago. Max and Mimi gave me the strength to get up every day and smile.I can't tell you how lonely it is to come home from work and not see his sweet face waiting at the door for mommy.Max had so many special qualities about him it would be impossible to list. I remarried 7 years ago and Max soon got attached to his new daddy. My husband was not a real dog person but that soon changed with Max. I would come in at nite from work and sometimes find him sleeping next to daddys bed.When Max suddenly passed last week my heart went out to my husband who had a very emotional breakdown and was able to say how much Max had won over his heart and he will forever
miss our little man. I know he is in a good place and hope he finds his sister Mimi and is able to run free together with her as they did as babies.Max had many health issues that had slowed him down yet he never let that stop him from being a loving companion for me. May my little guy rest in peace. Love you forever Mommy

So Sorry Your Life Was Taken Away From You at Such A Young 5 months Old Age.
We will always remember you with those big paws and all the cute moans and noises you would make.
Austin misses laying on you and snuggling up to you.
Aaliyah missing going into her room and finding you sleeping on her Dora fold out chair that you fit so nicely in as a baby and your legs would hang off as you got bigger, but you still snuggled there to sleep.
Glad you are in a better place with your friend, Brandy.
Go run and play and be free and we will meet again some day...

Tammy & Gordon Konecny

Max, My beloved cat of twenty one years it still seems like I expect to see you when I come home from work to greet me and want to eat. My funny little max Ihad you from just a small kitten and you worked your way into my heart and into a beautiful creature and my special baby.You never liked the outside like wokie ,you were a momma's boy. Ican look back and see when you started to go down ,it first started with your kidneys and you had to have special food and regular vet. rechecks with labs done but you never seem to mind as long as I was there with you.When Wokie passedaway in Jan. you started to give up I could tell,you would go thru the house looking for Wokie and you would meow out for him and.The time came when you were really sick and moma took you back to the vet.and you had to stay and get IV fluids and meds. your sugar was up so high and when I came to see you it was like I wasn't thereyou layed you little head on my shoulder and when I put you back in your bed you just layed there.The next day I was coming to see you after work and they called and said you had passed away that night,I am so glad I held you for awhile and you knew that I was there and you went peacefully to rainbow bridge where you and wokie are waiting for moma. Love you boys.

Dru

You didn't steal my heart, I gave it in love. You will always be my special bubby...be in peace and I will see you at the bridge.

Sara

To Max who was always loving and loyal and brought happiness to our lives every moment that we were with him. Until we are reunited again, Max shall play at the Rainbow Bridge with his family and newfound friends. We miss you Max and we will Love you forever. Thank you Max for Blessing us with your unconditional Love.

Axel & Erin

Dear Max,

We miss you so much. You were a part of our life for so long, a member of the family for sure. We are very sad and miss your presence.
You were the coolest cat ever.
We love you.

Linda and Ron

We love and miss you, buddy, so much. We hope you are happy and having fun.

Samantha Melanie and Holly

We will love you and cherish our wonderful memories forever!

David & Betty Cochran

Max was one of the best dogs we could ever ask for! We lost Max due to a stroke which a blood clot from his heart that traveled to his brain. We will miss Max very dearly! Max was adopted 4 years ago from a shelter that was going to put him down because no one wanted him and I could not let that happen so I took him home and we took care him until his last days. Max was 13 years old and I didn't want to see him suffer. Max was one of our children as we have 3 Goldens that we love very much Max being one of them. Max has brought happiness to us and the unconditional love that Max gave us will stay in our hearts forever. Max we love you and we will all see you on the other side one day and until that day St.Francis will guide you and watch over you.

We miss you Max - Pete, Gina & Nancy

Max,

You have been my pride and joy.
You stole a piece of my heart from the very first day that I saw you.
You took it with you when you left.
I will always love you and miss you.

Donna Gribble

I found you at the humane society after Pudge died. You were just a pup, but you sensed the hurt I was feeling and came to my side to lick and rub.
We had 14+ years together during which you loved and guarded all the cats and dogs that came to live with us and you guarded us as well, keeping an eye on our home while we worked ...
I'll miss you, my big handsome boy, you were truly a friend. The house seems empty without you

Rich DeCesare

Max was scared of his own shadow but faced the end of his days with a true bravery and strength that made me proud to be his kitty mama.
He was loved for 18 years and will be loved and missed every day that he is gone.

Lora

My husband ad I have just lost the most wonderful, intelligent, loyal friend, we were so very honoured to have in our life for the past seven years, our handsome, shar-pei dog called Max.I remember looking at this site a few years back at which point he was only two and thinking how sad for all the people who had lost their pets, and how fortunate we were, but taking consolation knowing that in time we would have this site to come to. Now we are in that very dark place where you want the world and everyone in it to stop as we are grieving and in so much pain for our loss,goodbye my loyal,trusted friend, know mummy and daddy will always love you, and will look for you when we cross that bridge,to be re-united forever.goodnight sleep well till we come. xxxxxx

Greg & Joan Wood

Max’s exquisitely tender heart beat in perfect time with mine.
From him, I learned the true meaning of love and devotion.
Without him, I am, simply, not whole…I am “without”.
To quote Emily Dickinson: “The saddest days on earth are the days after death when you are putting away love you will not use again until eternity.”
Peace to my sweet boy.

Cynthia St. Clair

A true friend for many years.

Rich Decesare

Our big black and white baby left us so soon due to a tragidy.
We all miss you greatly and the kids remember you helping them dig holes in the sand box with them.
I can still see the dirt flying as you dug and dug with the kids side by side. I can still see you running around and can hear the cute sounds you made when you would just plop down.
Our little Austin is still holding on to you wanting to snuggle up to you.
Your big lion you used to cuddle up to is aways with you and we all will never forget you always sneeking into Aaliyah's room to cuddle on her little Dora chair.
You used to fit so well in and then you grew so big your barely fit at all, but we would always find you they...you big little stinker.

Tammy & Gordon Konecny

Max
coming right after Sam this is killing me but sister will miss you forever

Melissa Alexander

The sweetest little guinea pig ever.
Your bright eyes and excited chirps will be missed greatly.
Who will eat the cucumbers out of our salads without you here?
We love you Max.

Molly, Kathy, Ragan, Colleen, & Chloe

What do you say about losing a child?
Max was with us for 14 1/2 wonderful years. He grew up with our 2 sons and is considered our 3rd son. He was "Mommys Baby" and I don't know what to do without him.
He would know if you were down or didn't feel well and he would stay by your side. He got along with other animals but loved people...he was a people dog. He was loved by everyone...all of our neighbors are mourning him too. I am sad beyond anything I ever thought I'd be and I will miss him forever.

Deb

Max was my parents dog (they do not have internet). He was a very loved happy little guy. Both my Mom and Dad are stricken with grief over his passing. They are both in their late 70's and he was such a big part of their lives. Max filled their lives with joy. He will be greatly missed.

Kathryn Sloan For Clarence and Margaret

My Favorite Animal and the Luv of My Life.
We made such great friends and companions.
He always knew what I wanted and needed.
I will miss him forever and ever. He loved me more than anyone.
He greeted me every morning and came and bade me good night every night and slept on the bottom of my feet.
When I returned home from a trip he would spend days following me around, sleep by my head and jump into my lap on the computer...he was so filled with joy that I was home once again.

Sandi Manion

One about 8 months ago this beautiful white, feral cat came to my back porch.
I started feeding him and looked forward to his daily visits, often 2-3 times a day.
Slowly I gained his trust so that I could give him a quick pet; nothing more than that could he tolerate.
Last night he came to me in distress.
I rushed him to the hospital but he was not treatable.
He died in my arms, the first and last time I was able to hold him.
I'm grateful he came to me, especially during his final hour.
Through me, the world redeemed itself toward Max.
I'll miss him every day.

Lugene

Rest in Peace my precious angel love, mommy & daddy

"My boy" Max, I had you from the time you fit into the palm of my hand until the day you left while holding you in my arms.
I am not sure if it was the fleas that made you so weak you were unable to fight them off any longer or if you were supposed to go, all I do know is I still miss you terribly, your brother Scooter & your sister Vanity miss you in their own way also.
I still from time to time "feel" you jump on the bed even though I "know" it's not really you.
The day I lost you I promised you that someday we would meet again at the Rainbow Bridge, that promise still holds.
When my time comes I shall be looking for you at that Rainbow Bridge & once again we will be together. When that time comes and Scooter & Vanity have gone on also, we will all be together again.
I miss you so much everyday, you left all to soon.
Wait for me!

David

Max was our beloved, loyal friend who will be deeply missed. Nothing can ever replace him and he
will remain in our hearts for eternity. Rest in peace my bunks...until we meet again you will always remain in our thoughts and hearts...We love you

Richard's

Max was pure guard Lhapso. He loved his mom and dad and older people. Wasn't too crazy about other dogs or kids. He guarded his mom and very rarely let anyone near her. He was our life. He got very sick and we just couldn't save him, although we tried very hard. He loved to snuggle in covers and used to wait for food to drop on the floor when my husband, a chef was cooking for us or for him. The two of them shared many meals together. There is alot of pain and sadness now but we know he had a great life and tons of love.

Roberta Burton

Max,

We all miss you very much.
I don't know how we will go on without you.
I am glad you are not suffering anymore, but I am selfish, I wish you were still here with us.
While you were here, you brought us great joy.
Everyone was so amazed how you used to sit on the couch or chair almost like a person with you feet on the floor.
They said you were such a handsome.
And you were too.
But more than all that, you were the world to us.
You will forever be in our hearts.

Love,
Mom, Dad, Valerie and Stephanie

My big boy Max, so soft & silky, you kept me safe & warm. I miss you so much.
You were the best boy. The house is so quiet without you here, following me wherever I was, whatever I was doing.
I know you are better now and are waiting until we will be together again.
Daddy & Kissy miss you too.

Joyce

Maxie, sweet boy, you went to the rainbow bridge this morning and I miss you already. You were such a joy. Not only were you a beautiful boy but you were undoubtably the sweetest cat God ever made. I will so miss your snuggles in bed and how you kept my feet warm. How I loved your squeaky little voice, and your blind but beautiful blue eyes looking up at me.
Murphy and Thomas will miss you so much but one day we will join you at the rainbow bridge and we will be together again.
Cinder is there with you and she will look out for you.
Until I am with you again, rest easy, eat hearty, and play to your heart's content.
I love you little boy. Mom,Murphy,& Tom

Maxi bo, mommies love you..until next time! Kisses always!

Pamela & Susie Dunning-Sengupta

Thank You Max for bringing so much joy to our lives.
We miss you so much already.
At 13 1/5 years old you were our "grandpaw dog" and we loved you so much.
We know you are at peace now and having fun and the Rainbow Bridge.
You will always be my little makkie moo. Buddy misses you too !!

Thanks to Scott for letting us care for Max, he was no doubt a part of your family and our family too.
You need to know how much we loved and cared for him in the four years that we had him.

We will always love our Max.

Paula, Jacob, and Jessica

today me and your buddy calvin saw you go and your dad michael was so stoic. gonna miss ya max.

Geoffrey Leibel

To our beloved Max (one in a million) you were such a wonderful guy.
Why you had to leave us so soon will always be a mystery but you hold a very special place in our hearts.
Thirteen years was not enough time.
You were so kind and loving each and every day of your life.
Whenever you got a hug you turned on that motor of a purr.
We will always remember you and will have a toast to you and your buddy Puma.
We love you and, when the time comes, we look forward to the day on the Bridge.

Collin, Kirsten, Claire, and Ross

Max, the really bad Siamese cat.
I adopted Max when he was 12 weeks old and he went to the Rainbow Bridge after nearly 17 years.
He was loved and spoiled every single day of his life.
He loved Mom, ham, and having a warm place to nap, and he hated basset hounds.
He passed away suddenly and he will be sorely missed.

Melynda Majors

Max found me one day and stayed until he passed away.He loved me very much and i love him more than i have ever loved anyone.I will never forget him.I will love him forever and always!He was my best friend.I hope he never forgets me.

Peyton

Maxie.
I am sorry you got so sick and I am sorry I wasn't so fun over the last year. I miss you so much. I'll see you again someday. Please don't forget me.

I love you.

Tatiana

Max you were the best friend in the world, and not just to me, but to my children and grandchildren as well, you are missed more than you could ever know, and we will never forget the love and happiness you brought into our lives.
We love you Max~

Leslie Lynnette White

You were my buddy and my companion for 14 years. I miss our morning snugglefests. I miss you lying beside me on the couch at night. I miss your constant mischief making. I was late for work every day this week because my four-legged alarm clock is gone. This place seems so empty without you. You were taken from me so suddenly, I had almost no time to prepare. It's unfair. I thought we had a few more years, but it was not be be. Oh, Max, you were such a special, sweet boy and Mommy will always love you.

Max was one of the friendly strays I fed every day.
He was hit by a car today and killed, the driver never stopped.
Out of respect and dignity to him I buried him in my back yard.

Theresa T

MAX.I HOPE WE DID THE RIGHT THING. WE DID'NT WANT YOU TO HURT.YOU MY 4 LEGGED SON WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE YOU.YOU WERE OUR BEST.WE MISS YOU SO MUCH.

Belen

Max was a wonderful friend and companion, and will be greatly missed by family and friends.
He was here much too briefly and passed so unexpectedly!
May he be welcomed and whole again at Rainbow Bridge!

Maria Sangiovanni

My beloved puppy, my heart, my joy and comfort. I can only go on knowing I'll see you again at the bridge. My heart is just broken.

Ann and Worley Adams

We miss you every day and hope you are safe and happy waiting on the other side.

Barbara & Bill DeGiulo

Max - the most loving and inspirational black furry angel has found his way back home. We miss you so much, Max.

Deana Schreindl

Sweet Maxie....you have been my friend, my protector, my love for over 10 years. I have thanked God every day for bringing you into my life on that rainy day in Buffalo....a wet, big pup, two chains broken around your neck....I miss you so much although you have been gone for only a few hours...I am so happy to know you in the warm sunshine, running through the grass, sick no longer....I know that little Sherlock met you at the bridge along with Lobo and Macho and Bogie...and I know that all of you will be there to meet me....I look forward to that day when we can be together again....I just want you to know that you are a good dog...a sweet boy...and Mommie loves you and always will...I will never forget you.

Shelly Gleeson

Always loved, never to be forgotten. Fly free precious Max.

Glenys

My Maxcat was the best kitty ever. He loved me unconditionally for almost 16 years and I in turn adored and worshiped him.
As long as I was with Max, then I was at home. It hurt so much to let him go but I imagine him now looking down on me with those beautiful green eyes.
He is as healthy as he was when he was a kitten, and he is taking a nap in the sunshine right now, I just know it. I will never forget him and I will love him always.

Cindy King

Rest in peace my sweet boy. You were such a brave boy and such a fighter. When your leg was removed because of the osteosarcoma you adjusted so well.Walking was a little hard for you but you could still run very fast. I thought we had the cancer beat but that was not to be but you fought the good fight as long as you could and then went to find your buddy Harley at the bridge. I miss you terribly but I know you are now running free again on four legs with Harley. You were such a comfort to me when we lost Harley and I know you didn't want to leave me alone so you held on as long as you could. You were the sunshine in my life.

Victoria Bletz

Max left us today. He will be greatly missed by our family, esp. Kiri,Maggie,Cailin, Nana and Mike.

Susan Mountrey

Max was MY dog. We had the family dog, but Max was like the little stepbrother that got ignored by everyone but me. I loved that basset like a son, and I hope that he knew that. No dog will ever replace his muzzle on my knee. He was the epitome of selfless love.

Heather Chapman

I grew up in foster homes I had no family. I was abused. At 18 I went in the Marines and saw combat being wounded once.I was in deep trouble for I had no love for anyone for what I have been through and things I have seen. Then one of the girls at the gym gave me a gift. A Cat named Max. At first I didn't want him but I kept him. I don't know how but he knew I needed his attention he would lay on my chest he would show great affection. He opened me up to realize that the whole world wasn't evil and that yes I had someone that cared enough and brought me out of my darkness and into the light. For 16 years he was alway faithful like a little soldier. Kept my spirts up when things looked bad. I a hardcore veteran on the streets of NYC, I could never believe that an animal could do so much for me. I will miss him greatly and when I pass I hope he is waiting for me on this bridge your website talks about.

John P Russo

Max,
You were my whole world, perfect in every way.
I can't put into words how much I love you.
My bed is cold and empty without you sleeping next to me.
My house is empty without you playing with me.
You were the best thing that ever happened to me.
I miss you so much my sweet baby girl.
I love you Max!
love, Heather

I WILL LOVE AND MISS HIM FOREVER.I HOPE THAT HE IS HAPPY AND CHASING HIS BALL UP THERE WITH HIS BUDDIES HOLLY,BISQUIT,AND CODY.HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART AND MIND.....

Kathy

Max was an incredible dog and very strong.
Diagnosed with bone cancer, he was given only 9months to a year to live.
My little boy not only lived six months longer than they predicted but he continued an extremely active lifestyle, never letting his three legs ever slow him down.
He was my little boy and my best friend and will be missed terribly!!

Christi Frantom

Max, you will be missed by everyone in the neighborhood.
You truly were the King of Fairwood Forest.

Love, Terry

My sweet foster kitties, who most of all loved to be nestled near a loving person.
You died too soon and too young.
You will be missed and your memory cherished.

Lynda Voigt

Max, you were my very special furry buddy.
I don't know how I'm going to get through the rest of the day without you at my heels or on my lap.
Rest in peace, little Sweetheart.
I'll meet you at the Bridge.

Lynn Moore

Max is greatly loved. He was our "Big baby", loving, friendly, loved to kiss and push his body onto your, loved to be touched. His brother Sparky will always remember him. We will keep Max's memory alive with a tree. It will be planted and dedicated to our Max. We love you baby, and will keep you alive in our hearts. Love from, Mommy, Daddy, Jon, Jason, Krysetl, and your LA, and Reno family members.
Blessings!

Max Churchill
April 12,2002- January 1,2008

Our strong, powerful, but loving protector

Love your family

Max contradicted the reputation of Rottweillers.
He was a gentle soul who would lay on the porch and watch the bunnies play in the yard.
He would not chase them,just watch them. He was my guardian angel who watched over me and protected my from evil.
He saw me through my husband's illness and death.
He instinctively knew when I was down and needed extra love.
The day Max died, his eyes were wild with pain and he was ready to go.
He died at home, in my bedroom, in the place where he always slept beside my bed.
It comforts me to know I will see Max again in a place where there is no pain and the bunnies still run free.

Robin Perry

Max was a little man with a big heart. He will never be forgotten.Today was his day he met his grandpa at the Rainbow Bridge and I too will meet him someday with my family. We will miss you Max.

Robin Ewards

The Best Dog Ever!

Richie & Barbara Gaul

Good bye to a very trusted and good friend Max. He was with me constantly for 12 years and will be with me forever. I held him in my arms as the Vet. put him to sleep forever. He seemed to sensed that this was goodby and looked at me to say " its OK, you did the right thing, thank you for being with me".

John Harper

Odo Hubbs!!
My buddy!!!
I bought him in Spring Valley, CA.
He is a very cool and unique fuzzy friend.
I was severely injured in motorcycle accident last Aug 07'.
When I came home from the hospital Max and Baby were waiting for me.
Shortly thereafter Max never returned to me.
I think he went off somewhere to pass on.
When I see picture's of him I get tears in my eyes...I miss you so much Hubbs,
now you, Baby, Tigger and Mushroom are together for eternity.
I MISS and LOVE
you ALL so VERY much.
I look forward to being with you ALL again someday.

Kelly Thomas McGuire

The best friend we ever had passed away yesterday and our hearts are heavy beyond comprehension. The love and joy he gave us for 14 1/2 years are reason to celebrate his life.
That is what brings us comfort at this time.

Denise Martin

Max,

I love you with all of my heart. Life is not the same without you. I miss you not coming to meet me at the door when I come home from work. I miss hearing your little meow stories of how your day was. Most of all I miss not being able to hug and kiss you. You were the BEST cat I ever had and part of me went with you when you crossed that bridge. I cherish those 10 years we had together and I have so many memories of you that put a smile on my face but also fill me with tears. I know I will see you again when I cross that bridge. You will forever be my Maxy Kitty.....Forever My Bay....I Love You Max
Sandy and Layne

Sandra Beck

You were a gift from God.

Karen & Rich Fahrenholz

Max,

You will always be the "Best Dog in the World" to me and your whole extended family.
You are so very missed...not a day goes by that I look for you - your memory is everywhere.
Please wait for me by the bridge.
It is the first place I will go when my time comes.

Nora. Chris & Andrew

I have never known love like that which I learned from my Max. Unconditional, ever willing and always a well mannered little guy. I can still feel the warmth of your fur and smell the top of your sweet head. I feel so blessed we found each other and I pray we will meet again.
I see you playing again as you did as a puppy, chasing squirrels and going on long walks like we used to. I hope your tummy's full and you rest well until we meet again. I love you always Max.
Your Human-Pam

Max was the best friend that this person could have.
I miss him everyday and will never forget all that he taught me.
He had the best Elvis smile!
He made me happy and gave me hope when I needed it the most.
His unconditional love was unlimited.
Our whole family misses him and can't wait unitil we hear Max bark I Love You again.

Carol Reeves

YOU HAVE GONE UP AHEAD OF US. I PRAY WE ARE AS WORTHY AS YOU. SO THAT WE CAN MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN. WE MISS YOU SO MUCH.

Belen, Tito, Jessica, Nico, Emma

Max was my best friend, he helped me through so much over the years, divorce, broken relationships, no matter what he was always there licking away the tears.
He hated to see me cry and would always do something to make me laugh to get me to stop crying. I love and miss you lil buddy.

Jennifer

My little Max was my best friend for fourteen wonderful years.
I will never forget the first day that I saw him at my friend's house...that sweet little face...asking me to take him home so that he didn't have to go to the shelter...and the loyalty and love that he gave me ever since.
He loved to play soccer when he was young.
He loved to play in the snow!
He hated getting wet (that's about the only thing he didn't like).
I miss him so much!!!!
My heart is so sad....
I know he is in heaven running and playing and waiting for me...
I love you Max!!!!!!

Maria Silva

Max, you were an incredible family member.
You were very special and you fought an amazing fight and never ever complained or acted like you were in pain, even in the end.
We love you so much Max....we miss you so much and no one could ever, ever take your place in our lives.
You are cancer free now....go run and walk and play and we will see you soon.

I MISS YOU MR. MAN
DADDY

Maxi was our first introduction to Yorkies.
His 11 years with us lead to our involvement in the Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue.
My wife, Anne, was the Virginia representative for YTNR for years and we helped place many little Yorkies, and some that were not so little. :)
Maxi helped Anne through her 4 year battle with breast cancer, always snuggling her and kissing her and helping in any way he could.
He missed her greatly when she died.
Now he's gone to be with his mommy.

David Henderson

Thank you Max for being the light of my life

You will always be in nmy heart, I hope I can give to others what you have shown and given to me.

Penny Haas

Maxie we love you and will always miss you, you live in our hearts forever

Axel and Nidia Bolanos

In memory of Maxie, my companion, my love, my heart.
You were special not only to me, but to everyone who knew you.
May you run and play and dine with your friends and family that passed before you. I will always miss you - we will be together again.

Toby Gass

Maxie-you are my heart, my love, my life. You made everyone smile. My love for you will last forever until we meet again. I miss you tremendously.

--Dad

You were such a good dog, we love you so very much.

Lynne, Randy, Jacob & Chloe Robertson

Dear Maxie,

I miss you with all my heart.
You were the sweetest, cutest kitten that I ever met.
From the first moment I saw you, I knew that we had to be together.
We had so many wonderful years together and I have so many happy memories.
I believe that you are once again playing fetch with your tiger toy, chasing bugs and watching the birds and enjoying every moment of it.
I will hold you in my heart forever.

All my love,

Mama

Maxie was such a sweet dog that was full of love and warmth. She was a a true source of comfort and joy. Maxie was lost too soon and is incredibly missed. Please keep Maxie, Debra and Ian in your prayers during this very sad and difficult time.

We will miss sweet Maxie.
She was a loyal dog who was a true companion.
She always wanted to be where her people were.
When we would go on vacation, we would always joke that if Maxie could e-mail, she would email us every 5 minutes with - "Where are you? When are you coming home?".
She was a beautiful golden dog who came from the pound and added joy to our lives every single day.
I miss her soft fur and her sweet brown eyes.
She loved to go on hikes and when she was young, she literally ran her pads off to keep up with her sister Mattie and her people.
We couldn't have asked for a sweeter dog and we miss her terribly.

Jan Shoenberger

My dearest Maxie-

We cannot express how much we love and miss you and will always remember you as the most wonderful, loving companion.

You gave us so much over the last 17 years...we could not let you suffer.

I will always remember your loving personality and enthusiasm for life.
Your daddy and I look forward to the day that we will see you again.

Rest in peace, our little one

Love, Tina and Earl

maxie sweet maxie
you left us suddenly and we are so sad. we loved you beyond what any words could describe.
we hope your time with us filled you will love and comfort and that you are in a place that is peaceful and kind to you - and offers you everything you could ever possibly want.
we hope to meet you again one day and will never ever forget you.
you were the best dog and we will miss you forever.
please know that our hearts are broken without you here with us and you are /were the absoulte best love of our lives.
love for ever mama and daddy

Maxie was the best friend I could ever have.
Loyal, unpretentious, forgiving, non-demanding and the father of
many offspring in his younger years.
His son Freddie remains with me, but I will love dad forever.

Cathy Costello

Max, words cannot express the sadness we are dealing with as a result of your death. Your son Maverick is just as upset as we are. He stuck to you like glue from the time we brought him home to you at 5 weeks of age. We hope that he will carry on your beautiful traits and personality.

Sue, Norman, and Kelly

Max, my beloved dog, you challanged me on every level and I loved being your alpha for 14 years. I will look for you when I pass so we can cross Rainbow Bridge together..we did everything together and I miss my co-pilot. I pray for you happiness. I ask for your forgiveness if I ever did anything to hurt you or let you down. Thank you for your boundless love. Miss you.

Terry Austin

My little buddy I am missing you terribly.
I know that you are in a better place but the hole you left in my heart can not be filled.

Mabel Taylor

He joined our family in November 1998. He was a joy to my wife and I, and we loved him dearly.
He was a very loving dog that was all bark, he loved to chase Squirrels , rabbits and cats but would never hurt them (on those rare occasions that he could have).
He put up with, loved and protected the youngest member of the family Cameron, who joined us in 2001. I'll miss him, as will my wife and daughter. We'll see you at rainbow bridge. Till then take care.

Norman Young

Maximum Dog.Entered the Etherial realm- on the other side on Oct 25th 2008

nature,and your sense of fun,and we will always be glad you were an intregal part of our family.....and you made us feel safe!Thanks Max!
Gone. But only gone from sight like one who walks ahead at night...Go find Bear, Baby...he's there waiting... see you later Big Boy, Love Mom and Dad

Maximus was a brown/tan doberman who died of bone cancer at the age of 7, just 2 weeks before he was 8.
He was in his prime, a fit healthy dog weighing in at 40kg and struck down in his best years. He was my first doberman; the impact and the bond he had with me is undescribable.
The hole left behind will never be filled; even though another doberman has now been rescued and come into my life, things will never be the same again ............ only those who have owned the breed will understand what I mean.
He was a dog in a million and I know we will meet at Rainbow Bridge again one day, till then run free.
Maria & Melly

Max, your life was too short. You will be missed greatly. I'm thinking about you always and I'll love you forever. Rest In Peace Max!

Jamie

My best friend,
Tuesday was it and I had to take you to the vet he said you had a mast cell tumor and did blood work and x-rays.
It wasn't looking too good.
I picked up the x-rays and went to a hospital with you.
You were now drinking more water then ever.
The emergency tech did an ultrasound and said the tumor was really big and had to be removed.

I went home crying and got my dad because I didn't have $2500-3000 dollars but I was eager to get it.
I tried care credit and got denied and asked my sister to apply but she too got denied.
I knew I would do anything to get the money.
You were so much more important to me then money.
So dad came to hospital and said he'd pay and you were scheduled for surgery the next morning.
Dr. Trotter called me around 8:30am Friday, November 21, 2008 to say you were ok overnight and he was going into surgery.
I went to Trimz to get my hair done and got the call that you were fantastic....a trooper...just great.
On my way back from the salon I stopped at the hospital to visit you post-op but they said I couldn't yet it was too soon.
I was just so excited to hear you were ok.
So that night I cleaned my room, polished your water bowl and went to bed early so I could be wide awake when I brought you home.
Today around 8:45am, Dr. Trotter called and said you were doing great, moving around, normal vital signs just doing fantastic and I could pick you up today.
So I would pick you up at 11:30am on Saturday, November 22, 2008.
I updated Myspace and Facebook and thanked everyone for their prayers and that you were tough and you made it.
It was 10:30 and I was at the salon my phone was off because it said, "Please silent cell phones".
So when I finished I saw that my phone had about 10 missed calls.
I figured it was work and that someone was calling out again, needless to say it was them not saying you had passed away.
They called my job and told her they couldn't tell her what happened but he was having complications.
I rushed to see you but it was too late.
I asked if I could see you and she rolled you in, wanting to lift the sheet from you head, No, please can you leave the room and let me lift it when I am ready" she understood.

I lifted the sheet and saw your face, the normal tongue to the side, one tooth covering your lip.
I thought you'd be stiff but you weren't, it was as if you were ok and waiting for me to hold you and kiss you.
I checked your belly and legs to make sure they took good care of you, and they did.

Maximus, when I first got you I knew you were everything to me.
We moved around, been through hurricanes, boyfriends and jobs and you were always their for me.
No one will ever replace you and as I lay in bed 5 hours later, with your pictures, tennis balls and squeaky toys I stop crying and have a smile on my face because no one has ever known me like you do and know one understands me like you do.
I will see you soon, I promise.....you have fun up their and don't be a ball hog!

Jackie

To my loyal and faithful friend, who played hide and seek with me, calmed and cheered me up.
I will always love you with all my heart.
I pray you find a loving companion until we meet again.
Then I will be able to love you again, forever.
Love Mom

I miss you so much... You brought so much joy to our lives.
Rest in peace my little angel!

San Juanita Garza

Maximus was truly my best friend.
He helped me get through so much.
I will miss him always.
Daniel

Max died an early death due to Parvo.
He fought valiantly and died at home with our family.
Even in his young life he exhibited all the trbutes of being a very loyal and happy pet.
He will be missed by all.

J. Montalto

Maximus, you were taken from us too early. You were and always will be a member of our family; I will always hold you close to my heart. I will love you more and more with each passing day and you will never be forgotten. Love, your mommy

We love you and miss you very much. You're mommys whole heart and soul. I'll love you forever.

Cyndi & Joe Nogueira

My beloved Max has joined his best friend, Alex, in heaven.
He was a very sick little guy, and I know he was ready.
I know he missed her desperately after she left us in April, and I know that she has been waiting for him too.
Now they are running and playing together again.
Neither will ever be forgotten in our hearts.

Jen Miller

Thanks max for all the love and happiness you gav us for 16 yrs..you will live in our hearts forever

Gary

Ah my special baby, you are a real trooper! God has you in his arms. I love you!

Diane Zerilli/Roger Stevens

To our sweet angel baby,

You have been the joy of this family for 13 1/2 years.
You'll never know how heartbroken we are without you.
We have never missed anything more in our lives.
We hope you are running, playing and spreading your joy in heaven as you did with us.
You will always be in our hearts...and we will miss you forever.

All our love always angel girl.

Mumma, Pappy, John and Ryan

Maxine, you are the best pet I have ever had. You were always by my side keeping me company throughtout the day. How lucky I was to work from home, I had that much more time to be with you, my best friend. I love you beaner, you are my baby girl and I miss you so much.
I know your spirit is with me. Love and Light my friend. love, Mom

It was a cold cloudy/foggy day, Maxine ran off and was hit by a semi-truck at 70 mph, I didn't want to believe I had lost my favorite companion, neither did my friends and family. I rushed her to the vet on that cold afternoon where the vet started to apply treatments to her, trying to revive her. An hour passed all I could hear were the quiet voices of the vet and his assistant, finally the vet walked out of the office, and closed the door, I caught a glimpse of the operating table, where a blue blanket covered Maxine. The vet faced me and my friends/family and said slowly, "This is undoubtedly one of the toughest announcements I've personally had to make, after the accident on the highway at 2:30PM we've lost Maxine." I looked down at a pair of navy colored Converse shoes on my feet, the ones I used to walk Maxine with, tears started to fill my eyes, it couldn't be Maxine not the Maxine who had turned me into a young man, the Maxine who accompanied me on my newspaper route every Saturday, the Maxine who accepted my ignorance, the Maxine who protected me with her life, the Maxine who snuggled next to me at night, the Maxine who always could make me smile, the Maxine who was my best friend? It couldn't be real, it was only a nightmare that I would wake up to Maxine pawing at me wanting to get up and go for a morning walk. It wasn't real. the word 'lost' kept circling in my head, lost? didn't he say "she is alive and okay?" It turned out that it wasn't a nightmare and the vet's words were correct as I walked to that operating table I looked down at a blanket with a lump shaped like Maxine. I picked her up and took her home to be buried, where I lowered the American flag in our yard to half-staff in memory of a fallen family member, who served her duty to our family with pride. Now that Maxine is gone, I think about her daily, now and then I look at her green nylon collar hanging on the wall. Maxine will always be my best friend true to the heart, Rest In Peace Maxine 2005-2007.

MAXINE

LOVE YOU AND I KNOW YOUR OUT OF PAIN .WITH LOVE FROM MOMMY.

Maxine came to our home scraggly, starving & with worms in August 2000.
We had her spayed, got rid of her tape worms & round worms.
The vet said she was between 5-7 years old.
She was such a gentle loving cat who gave us so much pleasure.
Maxi got cancer in her jaw this spring.
We took her to the vet because she was not eating much & was so thin.
Surgery was done & a tooth was removed.
We were so relieved it was only a bad tooth or so we all thought.
About 3 weeks went by & Maxi's appetite decreased immensely again.
Her breath was horrible.
The vet did a biopsy & found out Maxi had fast & aggressive cancer in her jaw.
Maxi stayed with us another 87 days after the cancer diagnosis.
We had to put her to sleep on August 8.
Maxi would sit on the desk top to watch me sew.
She sat on the desk by the monitor when my husband was on the computer. Maxi laid on my chest at night with her arms wrapped around my neck.
WE MISS HER SO MUCH!

Tom and Julie Anderson

Dear Maxine,

I can't believe you have been gone for almost a year. I was finally able to watch all the video I had taken of you in your short wonderful life. Mommy misses you so much. Your presence is still felt all around me and your precious memory will be with me for the rest of my life. How I wish you could have lived a long long life. I keep a picture of you always with me. I love you so much sweetheart. I know we will be together again when God decides but until then, please know that you are missed and loved every single day.

Cindy Moore

You gave us 15 wonderful and loyal years.
We will miss you lots , but we know that when the time comes we will meet at the rainbow bridge.

John, Sue & Christy

We hope you are chasing squirrels on the other side.

Pat, Tom , Kyle and Evan Briere

Maxwell, you are my love and my guiding light. I will miss you forever, I will love you forever. You are forever in our hearts.

Alana & Shawn

Maxwell,
You loved to play outside in the summer and nap by the fire in the winter. No matter what you did you were always smiling.
You touched the lives of everyone who met you.
We all miss you very much!

Andrea

In loving memory of my dear, sweet companion Max.
He was a special spirit, full of abiding love, deep peace and enduring patience.
He taught me so much in our 15 years together: to always be patient, to love unconditionally, to enjoy the little things in life, to be curious & playful.
May he rest in peace.

Christina

My parents had owned Max since before I was ever born, and he passed away when I was just a young girl.
But I'll never forget him.

Max loved to eat bees, and subsequentially get stung by them, and then whine about it!
He was a good dog; sturdy, observant, protective, gentle with us as kids.

Near the end of his life, Maxwell got cancer on his skin.
They removed legions and tumors, and stitched him back up.
It looked so awful, my mom put a t-shirt on him.
But he was slowly dying, and life was becoming ever the more painful for him.
My parents made the choice to put him down.

My dad and uncle took him, and returned home with the body and buried him in our backyard.
My dad had gone on to say he'd never seen two grown men cry like they did when they finished burying him.
He was that special to us.

Maxie, we love and miss you!
You were my first doggie and you took care of me for many years, and I'm forever grateful.
If there's any bees where you are, don't eat them!
Love you, Maxie.

Jennifer Adams

Well my faithful friend it is with great sadness and a broken heart that I say goodbye to you.
You were my best friend for 16 years and gave me more unconditional love than I thought was possible.
Take care of Ashleigh and one day I'll meet you both at the Rainbow Bridge.
All my love forever, Kathy

My Maxi,

I miss you so much.
You have been with me for 13 years and I can't see myself without you now.
I wish I didn't have to make the decision to put you out of your pain, I hope you understand why I did it.
I love you so much will be so excited when I see you again.
Love, Mama

Max was a strange little guy when we got him from the rescue, didn't know anything about love, and didn't much care at first. but after 2 years he finally caught on. You were a good boy and deserved so much more than u got in this life. our little rough guy.
You had a great home in the end with a mom and dad that loved you very much and miss u everyday. Till we meet again our boy. at the bridge

Dee and Sep

Rest in peace my beloved angel, you will live on in our hearts forever!

Monica & James

Maxwell (Max) was one of 9 cats in our home. He was the most gentle, loyal, and loving of the group. I will fervently miss him until the moment of our joyous reunion. I will continually pray for his eternal happiness and give thanks that I was fortunate to have him in my life.

Alan

Tonight I lost my best friend and my cherished child. He brought just joy into my life and was my constant companion. My grief is so intense even though I knew he was sick and the end would come soon.
But I never expected it to happen today. I didn't have enough time to say goodbye. I'll always love you Max, you'll always be my little boy and when I die, I promise that your ashes will be mingled with mine.
You will always be a part of me. Forever, I promise. My life will never be the same without you.
You weren't an ordinary cat....you talked when spoke to and you loved without judgement.
I miss you already.
I feel guilty that I had to end your life but it was only because I loved you so much to see you suffer.
Mommy loves you cooter.....

We love you Max and we miss you terribly.
We know you're healthy and happy and with Mollie over the Rainbow Bridge.

The Dixon Family

To my little boy; Maxie, Mozart and I miss you so much and mommy's love for you will never die. You are missed by so many. You are my little angel. You are at peace now, no more suffering or pain. You are playing now in heaven's place. I know that your Angelic spirit will be with me always.

Maxwell died around 4pm this afternoon (08/08/08).
Maxwell has been fading away this year in bits and pieces.
I finally made the decision to put him to sleep.
He kept us company for almost 16 years.
He was the best dog I could ever have asked for and we all miss him terribly.

Watch for him chasing squirrels and bubbles in the clouds.

Squeeze and scratch your furry ones for me.

Susan Peck

To our sweet Cat. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. You were a sweet and naughty boy, but we loved you so much. Play nice w/ Charlie.
