Year 2008 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "R".

My sweet girl, we've had you for 8 wonderful years.
You have been such a joy.
Taking care of you was an honor.
You are, and always will be missed.
Even with our other fur babies, Riley, Berkley, and Fred, there is an empty place in my heart now that you are gone.
I kept my promise to you, which was to never let you suffer.
It was such a hard decision.
I wasn't ready, but you let me know that it was time.
We love you.

I went to Florida to see my very good friend Jeanne Hipple on 5/13/08. I got to meet Rachel Hipple, one of Jeanne's dogs.

Rachel was a kind and loving companion. She was a very loving dog, playful, and fun to be around. Rachel was a fighter towards the end of her life. She held on to live as long as she could. Rachel had cancer, but could not fight the fight any longer. She has gone to a better place. she is out of pain and she is looking down on her family.

Rachel was a very good companion to my friend, Jeanne Hipple.

Rachel will be missed by myself and especially by Jeanne and her other brother and sisters of the animal kingdom,which are all dogs.

Rachel died on May 20,2008.

God bless Jeanne and Rachel Hipple!

Jeanne Hipple's Good Friend!

Tribute To A Best Friend

Sunlight streams through window pane
unto a spot on the floor....
then I remember,
it's where you used to lie,
but now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
and muted echoes sound....
then I remember,
It's where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road,

and up beyond the hill,
then I remember it can't be yours....
your golden voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor
and empty muted hall
and lay them with the absent voice
and unused dish along the wall.
I'll wrap these treasured memorials
in a blanket of my love
and keep them for my best friend
until we meet above.

Radar aka Psycho Dog is missed by all who loved him.

Elaine Chase

We miss you little Ray. You were our ray of sunshine. We know you are reunited with your sister Peanut who passed last May.

Norm and Aileen Birch

Gentle, trusting, always there when needed.
Run forever now without pain.

Dave & Cyndy Bolsenga

Radar, our sprinkler cavorting, puddle stomping, smile inducing, hiking companion, snowball chasing, joy riding, diesel bouncing, fish finder, clown of a dog. From taking our sports car to the river daily, to riding in style in Clyde, we are grateful for the years we shared.
Vacuuming will never be as much fun without you. We loved you enough to let you go and held you while you took your last breath. We miss you. Love, Jane & Skip & Leilani & Ka Pono

Radar was a very special friend to us we loved him dearly.
Our special friend is now in heaven and we grieve for him dearly.

Terry Porter and Anthony Schepis

Radd was literally the best dog anyone could ever ask for. He was with our family for over 13 years and lived a long and loving life. He helped our family get through many hard times with just his presence and love for life. He's in a better place now and we'll never forget him. We love you Radd!

Taylor

Our sweet boy crossed the bridge today.
Thank you, Raffie, for your patience with the girls, for allowing them to cart you around and wrap you in blankets as if you were their baby doll.
You will always hold a special place in our hearts.
You are once again playing with Reggie, Misty and Jasmine, and so many of the other pets that have gone before you.
Good bye for now buddy!

Gatzemeyer Family

I found you. I saved you. I loved you for the last 12 years of your life on this earth. You allowed me to form a bond with you, magic alien kitty from mars. You were amazing. Speaking without speaking. Your eyes told everything. And in the end, in a single hour of holding you and wishing to the stars I could save you from that which we all must endure, your eyes told me everything again. I cannot convey my pain in words either, my beautiful friend. You are owed everything on the other side that any human could want for. You are my equal, and above me in so many ways. If there is some nod needed in the herebeyond for a beloved pet to reap the harvest of eternal happiness, I nod to you my dear with every sincerity. My heart will ache until we are together again. Blessed be my dear, my beautiful Raffikki.

Amy Loughrey

Rafiki, I miss you so.
You were such a sweet boy.
So loving and trusting.
I know you met up with Rajah at the bridge and you feel better now.
Have fun my little man.
I love you!

Lynne Scherer

Annie did not cross the road to our house in all of her 16 years until her mom became ill and could not care for her.
She moved to our house and she was my kitty for one year.
She was a very serious cat. Very lovable.
I miss her and love her.

Lucinda

Zoom Zooms. I miss you so very much. I know that you are at peace now and are back with Ralph who you loved so much. Take care of him and Chili for me just like you did in life and I'll see you too on the other side.

Stella Clements

My dearest friend, you were and always will be the love of my life.You were always by my side through good & bad. My heart still aches for you, but you are not suffering now. We will be together again. Please watch over my Cody, he was such a good boy.
All my love and then some,
Mommy

everyone has a special friend in their life, like
another child. Rags was ours. His ashes will be placed with mine forever. my lost little
boy. I love you and know you are here to visit at times when I trip over you in the kitchen.

Rita

I wish I could have done more...I love you Raggs and will always miss you

Dianne C

I love you Raggs. You will always be in my heart, and forever with me.

1 Corinthians 13 (New International Version)

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Ecclesiastes 3:19-21 (New International Version)

19 Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?"

Duane W. Murphy

Our little buddy

T. Wise

Raggs and I shared life for over 16 years. He was always there to greet me when I walked in the door and taught me unconditional love. The last 10 months he was not well and I had to make the decision when to have him put down. The hardest day of my life. The hardest thing I will ever do. I loved him dearly and he will be missed for the rest of my life. He was the best dog in the world.

Donna Newcomb

In August 1992 Raider rode home on my shoulder from the animal shelter and for 16 years we were best friends.
He was the only constant in my life through job changes, divorce, moves, the death of my dad.
I am proud of the life I gave him, he never heard a harsh word, had a worry, or was afraid.
I let him be a cat.
We lived heart to heart, and the house is very empty without him.

Marla Lynette

Raider:
I miss you me buddio.
Daddy and I love you so much.

Oh me buddio, me baby, lil bugger. We love you. Youjosh and youjayse love you too.

Sweetest BabyDog, thank you for coming to my house in the rain 16 years ago. I am so lucky that you spent so many years with me. I miss you already but I know you are waiting for me. Goodbye my little gift from God. Mommy loves you so much.

Missing you, my sweet Maru

Jennifer H Rekers

Chris & Dolores Robinson

I miss you sweet Rainy.
You ran so fast for me.
I hope you are having fun up there.
Hope you're not scared of flags.

Your mom,
Sadie

My sweet little Rainy Day-

I found you as a stray in 1995...you were so scared that for weeks you would hide underneath all of my blankets, sheets and even the mattress pad. You would never really learn to trust anyone except me, your Mom. You definitely let me know that I was yours. You would spend hours sitting on my chest, drooling and wiping it on me, as if to mark me for your own. Even though you made me break out in hives, I always loved that I was yours and that the others would know too. How I loved it when you would come when I whistled for you. I used to tell people that you came when called...no one believed me until we would show them. No matter where you were or what you were doing, I could whistle, count to three and you'd be right in front of me. You were so smart, Rainy Day. When Maya was born, she couldn't pronounce "Rainy Day" so your name became what she could say, which was "Rish Rish Rish"...you even came when we called you that.

You fought such a courageous and dignified battle with breast cancer. Although it took away your health, it didn't take away your love or your beauty. In the end, it was a honor to hold you while you crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. No more pain, Rainy. You can play, run, eat and sun yourself while watching the birds.

Please say hello to Beefy, Dudley and Rocky, and all of Grandma and Papa's pets that I know you've been reunited with. Wait for us...we'll see you again someday.

I love you, Rish Rish Rish!!
You were a wonderful, beautiful and special friend and I will never forget you...ever.

Love,
Mom

I have shared my life with many wonderful animals and suffered their passing.I dearly loved them all.But because of RAJA I will always have to have a wolfhound share it"s life with me.Hats off to the wolfhounds, and all that Know.........

Forever in my heart,Cheryl

Poor little Rajah.
Although he was not a feral cat he would not let humans touch him.
He would come on my bed at night for special treats.
He was never mean.
He loved to snuggle with the other cats and the dogs.
Rajah left us on his own terms as we found him under the bed one day asleep forever.
We miss his presence.
He was so beautiful.
Rajah, we know you are a much happier cat now and we look forward to seeing you on the Rainbow Bridge where we will finally be able to hold you.
Rajah, it was always my goal to get your to totally trust us.
Although 7 years passed I didn't get to accomplish that.
I'm so sorry.
Love, Mom (Lynne)

My Raj,
I will love you to my dying day. You will always be the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me.
The idea that I will never again have you curled up under the blanket with me or scratch your little chin breaks my heart. Mom and Dad got me a new chinchilla, Daisy, and although I love her, she can never hold a candle to you, my sweet kitten.

Sasha has been roaming the house meowing and searching for you... You always were the strong one. Don't worry about her though, we're getting her a new friend (although he can never replace you).

Mom, Dad, and Courtney miss you so much too. None of us can believe you're gone. We all hope that you and Downey are keeping eachother company across that bridge.

You will ALWAYS be in our hearts.
Love,
Katie, Courtney, Mom, Dad, Sasha, Nikki, Suzi, and Daisy

We love and miss you Rajko.
Every day you spent with our family was a joy and we will remember you always.
You were a brave puppy and I know you fought hard until the end.
I wanted to bring you home from the vet and I know you wanted to go.
My heart has a special place in it for you and you memory will be with me forever.

Michelle

Rakker can now play with his lifetime brother Gabber again and tease him by biting in his ear to make him play!

Marianna Bergkamp & Reint Bootsma

He was a very good dog and we loved him very much. He would bring us his toys when he wanted to play.

Jake

Oh Pooz, I miss you so much!
You were the world to us & you made this place a home, truly.
It is so lonely here even with the boys.
There is such an obvious void, knowing you're not lying down in the basement or out on the rug in the living room or by the front door.
Little reminders of you are everywhere.
Last night I had a bowl of cereal and put my bowl down on the floor, since you were always there waiting to lick the milk.
Wow, this is so, so hard.
Little clumps of your fur, your food dish, everything.
You were so much more than a cat, Poozie.
You gave me so much in the 14 years I had you.
A calming constant presence.
Oh, how I loved your furry little paws, your little "meows", your furry little body.
I am overcome with sorrow and with immense guilt.
I am so sorry if I failed you, Pooh!
Why didn't I take you in for senior exam in April when it was due?
Why didn't I pick up the phone and make a appointment?
Could the vet have found something to help you so that you'd still be with us?
That is was I think about all the time, and I'm so, so, sorry!
I'm sorry that the kids and I were out of town and didn't get to see you when Father Cat took you to the vet.
You died there, with strangers.
This just kills me.
The tears are many these past two days.
You were with me before marriage and kids and I am so blessed to have had you.
I know you and Father Cat had a special bond, and he misses you so much, too.
He said he wishes he would have stayed home from work that day to be with you and to hold you.
We have ordered a special resting box for you and you will stay in the garden in our backyard.
We're going to plant a very special tree over you to always remember you.
I have so many memories of you - wonderful memories that are very painful right now.
The unconditional love you brought to this family is unmeasurable.
I can't do you justice in words, Pooh, and I wish I knew where you are right now.
I hope you had a good life with us & hope you can watch over us.
My heart aches right now, but I will see you again, Pooz.
Love you so much Ralph, Pooz, Poozie, Mr. Furbody, Bearcat, Poozy-Pooz.

Tim, Angie, Tommy & Tanner

Ralph, my devoted "ginger red" who even in his most painful moment at the end of his days on earth, looked at me with such trust that I feel, somehow, he knew I was making the best, but most difficult choice an "owner of pets" can make.
I would have liked for him to decide on his own, but I could not bear to watch him fail as he did so quickly in his last few days.

He was our "Einstein kitty" -- figuring out complex "kitty problems" and solving them on his own.

He started in NY and had the "penthouse" carrier when we moved to NV....we just COULDN'T fly our kitties out and bought a mini-van and four ferret cages (bigger than a cat carrier) to move "our Four-Paw gang".
Ralph would just watch the world go by as he became a cross-country kitty traveler and just loved the BIG ROOM (back yard) once he got settled in to NV.

Charging up the stairs like his tail was on fire and bounding onto the bed, chattering at the birds in the back yard and going from window to window when I would go get the mail waiting for "his human" to come back.

It was almost 18 years we had our dear boy and his brother Pete misses him dearly.
Sadly, I think Pete may be joining his brother Ralph too soon as his heart aches for his companion of almost 18 years and I am a poor substitute for the tongue baths and cuddle-time.

Ralph....say hi to Trudy, Trixie and especially Hitch and -- wait for me, we'll be best buddies again someday and you can charge and romp just as much as you want or need till then!

My dear boy -- I miss you so and wish I could have just one more good day with you...I know I told you what a good kitty you were and I'm going to tell you again -- you were the BEST and no matter who else might come along after you, there is no kitty in the world like "The Ralph".
Take care my special friend.

Wendy P Marcisofsky

7-14-08 was the worst day of my life. I made the decision to let my beloved cat Ralph aka dirtybutt go. He had been suffering with kidney failure and I had done all I could to keep him with me.
Everyone loved Ralph/ he loved everyone in return. He has gone to be with his best friend
Bozworth who went before him. He was very special to us and he fought a hard battle but always had kisses and purrs for his mommy. I miss you Ralph. I will see you again one day over the rainbow bridge.

Katherine Schlau

Thank you for a great 11 years.
You are a special cat and much loved.
Go and find Poppy and Mellisa to keep you company until we meet again.
You are already greatly missed.

Kendall Gutierrez

Our Baby, you will always be in our hearts and minds. We will love you forever and will be together again some day. Thanks for all the happiness we all shared together. Please keep coming by to check on us, it helps the hurt go away.

Dee & Snow

Ralph you will always be remembered for the laughter and joy you gave to everybody who met you. We shall never forget the unconditional Love that you gave to each and everyone of us.
You were always there for me and I shall miss that every single day. You helped me through the bad times and we shared so many good times.
I lost more than my pet, I lost my best friend, my little man.
I believe you have gone onto bigger things and I hope there is now someone else who gets to feel your love.
Your memory shall live on forever Ralph.
Rest easy my little buddy under the big tree in the sky.

Love always,
'Your Daddy'

Ralphie we loved more than you will know even for the short time you were here. You will always be in our hearts. We love you!!!

Nanci

My beloved and good boy minpin, Ralphie, ran ahead of us to the Bridge on 11/21/08. He joined his precious sister, Betsy Noodle, a terrier, and his big brother, Easy, a German Shorthaired Pointer. What a joyful reunion that must have been!

My dear Ralphie, my love, you were/are my ever faithful and loving little lapdog, my soulmate, my heart. I cannot imagine life without you, sweet boy. Mommy loved you from the first moment she saw you.
You were three months old when my step-mother, Louise, placed you inside my sweater and up against my heart. You grabbed hold of my heart that night and never let go. You slept under the covers and up against my belly every night. You were my joy, my delight, and I am forever grateful you graced my life, little one. You never knew you were little and you were the best watch dog mommy and daddy ever met. We will love you forever. Until we meet again, my love, stay warm in the lap of God and watch over us from the Bridge. Come visit us in our dreams, sweetheart.

Love always,
Mommy, Daddy and Gracie

Our very special little guy was deaf and blind in one eye.
He had a giant heart in his little body full of love and a whole lot of character.
He showed everyone who knew him how special needs kitties can add so much to your life.
Wait for us at Rainbow Bridge Ralphie.
We will be looking for you when we get there.

The Hudson Family

Ralphie was a very big dog, and his heart was even bigger. He was my true friend, my children's true friend -- even my cats' true friend. He enriched many people's lives with his unconditional love. I will remember him always and love him always.

Sharon Neeman

Rambo came to us as one of 6 starving puppies & their bag-of-bones mother. We found homes for all but Rambo,our choice. 3 years ago, someone came up our 1/2 mile driveway while we were not home, & shot our beloved Rambo. Although the vet thought he would not survive,a month of staying at the foot of our bed, lots of prayers and LOTS of love pulled him through. However, he never returned to the strong, healthy dog he was before, but he still looked at us with love in his eyes and we were blessed with 3 more years with him. We miss him so much, and so many tears have been, and are being shed over our loss, but I can only pray that The Rainbow Bridge is real & someday, we can love on him and give him more of the "belly-rubs" he loved so much. Rambo,we have big, empty holes in our hearts that will never go away. We miss you and will always love you.

Faye & Elie Courson

We had our sweet Rambo for over 18 years, yet it wasn't long enough for us.
I still remember the day my husband and I picked him out at the breeder's.
He was the shy little boy that melted my heart and he continued to do so for the next 18 years.
He loved his brother, Rocky (who left us 2 years ago last week), even when he stole his food and treats!
He loved car rides, chicken, spaghetti sauce, vanilla ice cream and Goldfish crackers. In his prime, he loved to chase the neighbor's dogs along the ajoining fence and liked to bark at the mail truck.
He mostly loved being with his family, who spoiled him just how he deserved.
He is free now and is no longer lame.
I know he is running in fields that he has missed for years and his eyes are clear and bright again for the first time in so long.
This was a dog so worthy of the love we gave him that it seem to pale in comparison to the joy and love he gave to our family.
I feel blessed beyond words to have had him as a part of my life.
Rambo, you will be missed more than words can ever express.
We set you free because we love you so.
Know that we can't wait to cross the bridge with you and feel you once again in our arms.
You are forever in our hearts.

Shariann

When my son John brought Rambo home as a puppy, we were very reluctant to give him a home because of his breed.
Rambo was a pit bull.
My younger daughter cried when she saw him because his head was so large he couldn't hold it up. My son begged and cried to keep Rambo and we gave in.
Rambo grew to become a very handsome and loyal member of our family.
And a member of our family he truly was.
Rambo sat on a chair at our table at dinner time.
Rambo slept in our bed, under the covers with his head on a pillow.
I often felt that he had the soul of a human who came back to stay with us.
When the time came that he had trouble walking up the stairs and eating and drinking, I had to make the decision to let him go.
It was the hardest decision of my life, but it hurt me to see him the way he was. Being the noble "beast" that he was, he courageously walked down the stairs and sat up in the car for his final ride.
We will never have another pet as wonderful, loving and loyal as our "Bo".
He was not your ordinary bear. He will be forever missed and forever in our hearts.

Carol Mueller

Rambo was a very loved little hamster. He will be greatly missed. He was very adorable and oh so cute.

Anita and Robert

He was always there to comfort me during a diffcult time in my life. I miss him.

Liz B

To Nickie's precious and dear friend Rambo who will be so dearly missed, and to her family as they navigate through the grieving process.
My prayers are with you.

Lynn Ryon

Loving dog, loyal companion.
He is missed very, very much every day.

Mary Jo and Cirilo Perea

Rambo and Hershey are no longer suffering...they can now run free and healthy together.

Tiffany Pratter

Our sweet girl came into our lives as a stray on November 12, 1993, the most beatiful long haired calico we had ever seen.
The placement of a black velvet triangle across her face was an unusal marking that set her aside from others, with the most beautiful green eyes I have yet to see in any other animal. She loved the outdoors but consented to come inside and live with us. She was the princess of our house and leaves behind four other stray cats we have taken in over the years.
She survived a bacteria infection along with kidney failure almost two years ago in September, only to leave us now.
She will always be our Sweetheart.
We love and miss you Rammie.

Marlene & Howard Kelley

miss you loads my best mate hope your giving mum loads of sloppy kisses

Julie Simpkin

JE T'oublierai jamais

Ramses

Randall was an amazing family member.
Although he'd occasionally mark things and get himself into trouble, he was the most caring animal I have ever met.
Whenever I felt sad, he was there to comfort me.
Whenever I was happy, he would wag his own happy tail.
When mom died, Randall knew, and was quite depressed.
A couple years later, I moved out on my own, and Randall became depressed again...so I took him with me.
He was getting pretty old and his arthritis was getting pretty bad, but when the seizures started, I knew it wasn't fair to allow him to continue to suffer.
17 years of a full life and and even greater friendship.
I can only hope that we will meet again someday.

Randall...find mommy and tell her I said hi!!
Give her a big hug fo me.
I love you!!!
I miss you!!!

Judy Koscinski

Randi, beloved first pet, brought many years of happiness to our family.
We will forever be thankful for his unconditional love!

The Sigler Family

I got Randy when I was ten.
I don't know life without him. He was loved and spoiled. He is missed dearly.

Cassie Peskor

Thinking of our dear Randy as on October 4th it will be a year since he went to the Rainbow Bridge.
We still miss him, but we adopted little Benny (also a white poodle) in April.
He is a joy and has truly helped us heal.

Jeff, Jennifer, Stephanie and Elizabeth

To my beautiful Randy...thank you for the wonderful years of love you gave me. I will miss you so much

Laura Rincon

Randy was my best friend. He was the most loyal beagle pup in the world. I would do anything for him. I miss him so much and hope one day to be reunited with him on Rainbow Bridge.

Carol Simonelli

Your over the top pursonality filled each room you entered.
Even though you only lived a few short years you filled each one with zest and passion.
I loved you every day you were in my life and I'll not stop loving you now.You were my finest friend and I was proud to have you in my family.
I look forward to the day we are together again and I get your sweet kisses, listen to your whispers and feel the comfort of your snuggle.

Joan Munroe

Ranger,
We've been apart one year today and I think of you every day.
I miss and love you so much my little girl.
Be happy and keep playing at the Rainbow Bridge my forever dog; I look forward to the day we are together again.
Love Rena

Devoted companion of 13 yrs, we walked so many miles together. Your intelligent eyes knew how to read my thoughts & soul. Your beautiful smile could light the world. I wish that the last few months had been easier for you. I have learned a lot from the life & times we shared. I hope that you felt love & had fun. My heart misses you so. Maria H.

I love you, Ranger.
You're my beautiful boy.
Please wait for me.
I hope that you and Sara and running and playing together.

Rosemary

Ranger was the best dog i have ever known, he had the best disposition and personality anyone could ever ask for in a dog. What started out being an ordinary Saturday quickly changed into the worst day of my life. We took him to the vet because he was lathargic, wouldnt eat or go to the bathroom. Once we got to the vet we discovered that he had two tumors in his spleen which ruptured and numerous other ones in his liver. He was bleeding internally and we were forced to put him down. that was the hardest thing to do. Watching him take his last breath was both painful and comforting knowing he is not going to suffer any longer. My family is torn apart and we cant seem to find a way to cope. The house feels so different without our dog here to greet us with his wagging tail when we walk in he house. I just pray everyday that we did the right thing for him. Ranger will be greatly missed, Run Free baby. i love you <3

The Della Bellas

My heart broke the day it became clear that the medicine and love we were giving you wasn't helping you get better.
It shattered into a thousand pieces when I knew our time together would be measured in days, not years, like I thought it would be.
I always thought you'd be with me, wagging your tail at the door when I got home, then hopping into the car for a ride.
You never cared where - you just loved the wind in your face.
I even caught you, once, with your chin up and your eyes closed just taking in the breeze and the smells as if you were already in heaven.
I will never forget your "smiles" and your love abd comfort when I needed it during some very dark hours.
You stayed next to me, easing my pain and my grief.
I am here because of you.
I love you Ranger.
The days are still long without you and I will always have a hole in my heart just for you.
You were my best boy.
Please wait and watch for me at the Rainbow Bridge. And help my broken heart heal just a little so I can remember the happy days we had, instead of just the sad ones.
You will always have my heart - you were my "once-in-a-lifetime" love.
I hope you're getting lots of time to run, just because you like the wind in your face, and I hope you have plenty of Milkbones. Never forget me because I will hold you in my broken heart forever.

Sharon Forbes

Ranger,

You've been gone almost 3 months and tomorrow (Feb 28) is your birthday...your Mom still misses you very much and thinks about you all the time.
We still feel something missing without you here, but know you are in a better place.
Have you had time to show Clancy around yet?

Auntie Rona

We will miss you terribly.
Brutus will meet you and keep you company unntil we are together again.
Run and play!
Love your family.

You brought us 14 years of happiness and made everyday more special.
My heart is hurting with you gone, but I look forward to the day we will be together again. Until then, be happy, be free, be healthy.
I love you Ranger and you will always be in my heart.

Jason Nagaia

They called you a stray, but I knew that you were beautiful and loving. I am honored that you came to me for help at the end of your life while you were so ill, and that I was able to assist you in your journey to the Rainbow Bridge. I hope that you find those that cared for you before. If not, I will always consider you one of "my cats," and I hope that you join my fur friends who went on before you.

Karen Mansfield

Today my sweet girl Raquel went to sleep at 8:33 am. I held her and kissed her and made sure she knew how much she was loved. She is an extrodinary animal whom I believe to be human. I've never encountered such a sweet, independent, loving soul with the most tender eyes and heart. She will be missed every day for the rest of my days and I will never forget her passing today. I only pray that Bailey and Aunt Peg were waiting for you my sweet girl. I love you!

Megan Quinlan

Our family lost one of its members and will never be the same.
Rascal died on 11/21/08 from cancer at the age of 16.
He was such a gift, a poodle who really thought he was a person.
In many ways he was, in the way he would talk to us and interact with the family.
His favorite activity was to play ball, and he was quite the swimmer, but he didn't do this very much as he got older and so many problems with his back legs.
We found out he had oral melanoma in March and he had a successful surgery.
He had another surgery in September, but slowly went downhill after that.
All we could do was love him and keep him comfortable.
We have lost a best friend who has been with us through so many chapters in our lives. At least we were able to see him through this final chapter...until we meet again, Little Man, we will always love you and you will never be forgotten.

Cathy Edwards

To my beautiful boy Rascal, there are no words to convey how much i miss you, how much i loved and always will love you.
There will never be a day that goes by for the rest of my life when i shall not think of you.
You gave me more friendship, happiness, love and loyalty than i have every know.
You made me cry, you made me laugh, but most of all you made me love.
I pray that one day you will forgive me and i pray that wherever you are now you are at peace and you are happy.
Please do not be scared my beautiful boy.
I beg you that you wait for me and when it is my time to join you that you will be there waiting for me, with our tail wagging. so that we can be together for all eternity.
Please do not hate me my beautiful boy, i beg you.
All my love.
Dad

My Big Boy, I miss you so very much. I feel so lonely without you near me.....your head on my lap, or you sitting by my side. Gidget is lost without you..

Daisy

My little puppy,
I miss you more than you ever know. You were the one that I could talk to when times got tough, you were the one who always came up to me when I was upset and lay down beside me comforting me when I needed it the most. You were the one who would play outside in the snow not caring that you were messing up your fur. You were the one that became my best friend. We had so many good time together puppy, winter, birthdays, just sleeping next to one another, content. But then you started to get worse with your arthritis and I knew you were in pain. When we went to the vet and he said that you had a bone tumor spreading throughout you it was hard to handle. I cried when I instantly heard, knowing what the right thing was, letting you go. It's hard to say even now, after I've let go of you and said my prayers. I didn't want you in pain puppy, I wanted you to be happy and running without limping. I just wish doing the right thing didn't mean losing you, but you will forever be in my heart and my mind and my soul. I will never ever forget you for you are the best friend I could ever ask for. Until that one day when we meet each other again-
Love, Tara (aka Mommy aka your snuggler)

Always my baby you'll be.

Nancy

Rascal loved life. He enjoyed playing in water. He enjoyed sitting on the roof of the garage. Once when he spent the night in my house, I found him curled up sleeping in the bathroom sink! He enjoyed tormenting the dog. He was very generous. If another cat wanted what he was eating he gave it to them. He had a very unique face/build. His nose was a beautiful salmon pink outlined perfectly in black. He was striped very vividly. He was very loving. He was a very special cat and is missed by my mother and I (and his adopted siblings) very much. I never met a cat like Rascal, and I've known a lot of cats! I am sure he is in heaven making God smile now.

Veronica Hilliard

Dear Rascal, although we only had you less than two years, you gave us a lifetime of happiness and laughter and love.
Our hearts are broken but if you are finally not suffering we can bear it a little better.
It's less than a week without you but we cry every day.
So many people knew you because we talked about you everywhere we went.
All of our friends at the senior club and everywhere else are so sad.
I don't know how we can go on without you.
We love you so much.

Ann Fitzgibbon & Dottie Hatton

My precious Rascal... I will love and remember you and your beautiful sprit always...

*Always loved and never forgotten xXx

Nicola Coughlan

Taken from us to soon,the love and joy you brought us in the little time we had together will last us a lifetime. Thank you for all the love, the laughs and the happiness you gave us. We know that you are with us in spirit, and that one day we will be with you again. Love, Mommy and Daddy.

My Sweet Brown Eyed Boy - Rascal
I will never forget the first time I saw you sitting in that cage at the animal shelter, reaching your small paw out between the gate and wall every time I passed your cage.
When I asked about you, the attendant told me this was the last day you were to be in the adoption area, that your time would run out the next day.
I bent down to get closer to you, that was when you looked me in the eyes, and stole my heart with those beautiful brown eyes.

I always thought I was your savior, but as life went on and we went thru the loss of your human dad and my beloved husband and soul mate that you became my savior.
You were always there, giving love and supporting me thru those very hard days after our loss, you did not let me out of your sight.
You were for ever giving me your sweet wet nose kisses.
Our bond continued to grow, we were constant companions, you became my protector.
I did not fear coming home to a dark house, for I knew you were there.
Life continued on, you saw me thru back surgery and shoulder surgery, I was never afraid and never really felt alone because you were at my side.

The years passed and we both aged a bit, you faster than me.
Your eye sight began to fail slightly, but you still enjoyed, treeing squirrles.
Never hurting them but wating for hours to see if they would get the courage to come back down the tree.
You were so proud of yourself, prancing around the trunk of the tree, barking to let me know you had another one up the tree.

Aging and disease to soon became a reality, Dr. Debbie told me that your burps were not just indigestion but that she found masses in your liver.
The x-rays and ultrasound showed me that these masses had been silently growing and seemed to rapidly overtaking your body.
After much discussion with Dr. Debbie the specialist, and many prayers, it was decided to treat you for quality of life verses quanity of life.
I pray I made the right decision.
You continued to seem happy and active right up to that last week when it appeared that you aged years and became so frail right before my eyes.
Looking back I know you knew time was short, your nose kisses were given without asking, you became more of a snuggle pup than ever before.

My dear sweet Rascal, you were my best friend, my sweet boy and I loved you with all my heart.
I thank the Lord above for giving you to me to love and to be loved by you.
I know you are with your "dad" and I will see you both some day.
It is with an aching heart that I let you go.
With Love,
Your Human Mom Mary

Ill miss Rascal more than he'll ever know. I got him from my dad as a pup and have had him ever since and now hes gone. No matter what ill never forget him!

Rastus, you filled our hearts with such love and joy. You gave us laughter when we were sad, comfort when we felt lost and alone, and unquestioning love every day that you blessed our lives.
Each day when we come home, we look for you and are sadden when we realize you are no longer there.
We take comfort knowing that you are without pain, happy, and at peace.
We also take comfort in knowing that one day we will be together again.

He was an amazing creature, who hopefully suffered nothing as he passed. He died this morning of a stroke at approx. 4 am.

i loved him.

A true Lassie in her own way. Loyal, beautiful inside and out with a soul that warms your heart. Raven’s our baby.

Erin

I miss you sitting & laying on your favorite spot on the couch.

I miss you going bye-bye with me to the store.

I miss you bouncing off the front door to let me know your ready to come back inside.

I miss throwing the frisbie for you, God you loved that toy.

I miss you being hyper & acting crazy, racing around the living room.

I miss your barking when someone knocks...now there is just silence.

I miss you waiting for me,
to get up & go to bed.
I miss finding you waiting for me,
& keeping the blanket warm instead.

I miss you curling up 2 sleep in the bend of my legs or by my feet.

I miss you rolling on your back so I can rub your belly...u loved that so.

I miss the game we played when you attacked us from on top of the blanket...Dominic does too.

I miss you not being there when I would take a shower...b.c you were that attatched to my hip, you needed to lay in front of the tub.

I miss your unconditional LOVE.
I miss your kisses.

Its too quite here now,
Its just not the same.
All I can do is think how and when,
And who is there to blame.

I'm sorry I wasn't here that day you ran too far.
I'm sorry you missed me.
I'm sorry you went to look for me.
I'm so sorry you got hurt.
I'm grateful that someone seen you & called Mommy.
I'm grateful I got you & brought you back home.
I wish you came back by yourself, you weren't that far away.
I wish I found you running, thats the Raven that I knew.
I wish you were here with me, instead now your up in Heaven.
I wish this was different.
I wish I wasn't feeling like this or even needing to write.

I wish I would wake up tomorrow & this was all just a dream.

I wished it so many times that you were still next to me.

The pain is so intense, I can hardly bear it.
I will keep your memory close to me & the fun times that we had.

We just didn't have enough time, you were only 2.
But the friends you made, along the way are
greiving for you too.

We'll remember you always, Raven.
We'll love you FOREVER.
You were a part of our family, Raven and will remain that way no matter.

You were always Mommy's girl
...and we'll meet again one day
...but have no fear, when that time comes,
we'll always remain together.

I love you baby girl - forever & always.

.......Mommy

We will always love you

baby grr

Raven, I come home from work and am sad to know you are not going to sit in my lap and help me forget a bad day at.
I am sad that I will never see you
chase Precious away from your food again, and watch you try and hide it with the mail.
I miss you.

My little dog was such a joy.
She was stubborn but sweet at the same time.
I'll miss her jumping at the bbq tongs and chasing the vaccuum. Silly girl.
My head knows that she is in a better place but my heart still is unsure.

Lisa Nieberger

Friends and neighbors,

In the 19 years that I've lived in Trinity Farms, there have been many changes in our neighborhood. Paved roads, new houses, sadness when friends move away and joy when we meet new arrivals. One of those arrivals was a beautiful, energetic and willful dog who adopted Catherine and I in 1996. As some of you may recall, taming Raye was quite a task. She was a 50lb puppy who had no fear until the ice storm of 2002. Then she became our own very accurate thunderstorm warning system. Like most dogs she only needed food, water and love to become a loyal companion.

She has been the best friend I could ever hope to have for almost twelve years and I love her dearly. Saturday evening Raye didn't immediately eat all of her food for the first time. Monday she didn't recover after surgery to remove her spleen. A swift and aggressive carcinoma had spread to other organs and it took sweet baby Raye-dog's life.

So you will no longer see Raye and I walking at least twice each day. Rain, snow, sleet, ice, hurricanes, wind and cold never lessened our desire to go for a walk as long as we were together. I will still be out and around the Park daily and Raye's Spirit will always be with me.

Peace to all,
Ken

My beautiful baby girl I loved her more than anything she was a gentle lover who would never do harm. Her beautiful 2yr old son and I will miss her so much.

Michelle Millett

Pour l'éternité, ton âme vivra en moi.

Razr Blade, we miss you so much little missy!
You made us smile and laugh out loud every single day.
You are a master at capturing hearts.
Your life was full but way too short.
We will miss watching you jumping into the pool to swim or to race us across the pool (even though you always beat us!) You have such a big heart and I know that whomever is lucky enough to have you sitting in their lap right now is feeling the joy we did when you were here with us.
I think of you when I enter every room in the house, when I sit down to watch TV in the evenings, and when I climb into bed for the night.
You brought us so much joy and comfort.
We are very proud of the way you hung in there and fought for your life.
You are a very strong and brave little girl.
We miss you and you will always be in our hearts.
There will never be another like you Razr.
May you rest in peace.
I love you baby girl.

Julie, Jerry and Tyler

My dearest Razzle, there isn't a day that goes by that I do not miss your sweet little face, your prickly little quills and your charming personality.
I loved taking care of you; doting on you and making sure you were comfortable and happy.
You were my special little boy and you will always be with me.
It took a long time to earn your trust, but it was worth every moment.
You changed my life for the better and I will never forget you.
I love you Razzle!

Deborah Wolley

Hes been there for me through the hardest years in my life (10-16) and he has been the one thing constant throughout the many moves since. He's in a better place now.

Jessica Simpson

Tazzie, I miss your sweet face and giving you a "thousand kisses" everyday.
I miss you nuzzling your head in my lap and taking our walks around the neighborhood.
You were and always will be my special guy. I hope you are having lots of fun at the Rainbow Bridge and I will see you there someday.

Until we meet again, you are forever my sweet Tazzie baby.
And remember, Mommy loves you.
Kissess, kisses, kisses.

RB was a little angel on Earth, all 11 lbs. of him!

Dean Schrickel

You were my best friend. I took you everywhere I could and when you were left at home both our hearts were lost. Now I feel such sorrow without you by my side but I pray we will be united soon. Rea you were my friend,companion,child,and confidant. I feel lost without you -its not the same anymore when I go camping or just for walks.I hope you have lots of new friends and have found Deano-I know he will take care of you until I get there. I love you always and can hardly wait for that time when we will be together again. Love always -your mom and friend -Pat

We got Reagan and his sister Addie when they were puppies.
Addie always was the leader and Reagan followed.
Addie only lived to be eight and we worried about Reagan without her, but he grew into his own and became a wonderful outgoing dog.
He was so loving, caring, and always knew how to be there when someone needed him.
Reagan had a fatty tumor that began to grow on his side and the doctor said that it didn't need to be removed because it won't cause him any problems, but over the years it grew to be about 40 pounds and it hindered him to the point of where he almost couldn't walk anymore.
He continued to push on, even though the simpliest thing was hard for him because of that tumor, he was always so persistent.
I think he wanted to live for us, but we couldn't let him continue living when everything was so hard for him, so on 8/7/08 we sent out wonderful, loving, caring dog to be with God.
It was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do and I don't know what to do to get over it except to think that now life isn't so hard for him.
I love you so much, Reagan.
I hope you are running free now.

Shannon Rainsberger

Reagan passed away a little over 2 years ago.
He had to be euthanized at age 6 because he had both diabetes and liver disease, and our vet felt that euthanasia was the most comassionate option.
Reagan was a young, energetic, mischievous, affectionate kitty who was loved so very much. Reagan, I love you and I picture you playing happily in the fields at the Bridge.
I can't wait to see you again.

Alannah Davis

My dear Reaghan... you left me so suddenly and I wish I could have been there when you passed but always know that you are in my heart now and forever and I cannot wait to cross the bridge with you one day.

Michelle Lamendola

When she was 7 weeks old and five pounds of fur, I rescued Reba when she was dumped, unwanted, at the local Shelter.
She was my constant companion and loved me unconditionally for 15 years.
I still hear her toenails on the tile and the noise her ears made when she shook her head at night.
She passed to the Rainbow Bridge with our foreheads pressed together and eyes locked onto each other.
I didn't want to make the decision to let her go but there was no other choice to be made.
I still cry every day she's been gone.
My Little Funny Face... Wait for me and know that I will never stop loving you...or missing you.

Janet Thompson

i miss you Reba, thank you for being the best friend EVER!!!

Amy Mueller

Our dear little Reba, you were the best, most beautiful little girl.
We enjoyed every moment of 15 1/2 years with you.
We miss you so.
We are so happy you are well again and running and playing.
We can't wait to be with you again.
In the meantime, little girl, be happy and have fun!
Look for Mr. Fug and Sam.
We love you little Reba.
All our love forever, Big Mom, Little Mom and Narvel.

To our special girl, we'll meet again one day, We love you with all our hearts and souls and miss you terribly.
Love Mom, Linds & Shell Bell

You are my conscience still.
I still pray each evening that I will learn to be the person you thought me to be.
Living up to your expectations isn't easy but Knowing that I would disappoint my best friend keeps me trying.
You are with me every day, old son.
Any loss I feel now is balanced by the joy I had in knowing and loving you.

Patricia Hodges

Rebel.
Coolest cat in the world!
He didn't care what was going on one way or the other.
I got him as a baby when I was a little girl, and he was my best friend.
He even didn't care when I'd put dolly dresses on him!
He'd just purr and lay on me.

Rebel was so sweet.
He loved to eat Cheeze-its, and as I got older, he wouldn't let my boyfriends sit next to me.
Yes he literally pushed them aside so he could sit between us!

When Rebel was around 9 years old, he developed very bad diabeties.
I had to give him insulin shots three times a day.
He never seemed to mind, though.
He'd come when I'd call his name in a sing song voice.

Some time later, the diabeties got too much to handle.
It was literally killing him slowly.
He was rail thin at this point, gaunt, dehydrated, and dying every minute.
I refused to let him suffer anymore; and my family and I took him to be put to sleep.
I stayed in the room while it happened, petting him and kissing him; until he finally passed.

At that point in my life, that was the hardest I'd ever cried.
My best friend of 12 years was gone.
Who else was gonna drink my milk when I wasn't looking?
Or sit on the dinner chair next to me, and touch my arm with pleading eyes, wanting a peice of chicken?

Everyone then left the room to give me a moment, and I held my dear Rebel in my arms and sobbed for what seemed like forever.
But the strangest thing happened then, I heard him *purr*.
Now I know strange things happen to the body after death... but he purred, almost just for me, as reassurance that he wasn't suffering anymore.
Then I knew it was going to be okay.

We had Rebel cremated, he's on the mantle next to Nikka ( Siberian Husky whom I also posted about, and Lucy ). Rebel was the single pioneer in that cat world that developed my love of cats.
And I'll never forget him.
You hear that, big boy?
I love you always and forever.

Jennifer Adams

Our Rebel - the sweetest, most loving dog we've ever known.
Rebel loved to kiss us all the time.
We miss him so much.
Our hearts are broken.

Ed and Lucia

Happy Birthday Rebel. I miss you more and more each day.

Bernadette

Our little Mouse we loved you sooo much.
So sorry for your short life and the way it ended, but so happy and grateful we had our time with you which will always be treasured.
The house feels empty without you and I keep seeing you from the corner of my eye and hearing your little collar bell ringing.
You were always a special Mousy Moo and we will always love you.

Mum & Dad

There is not enough space to tell you all about Recon. She was my friend and companion for almost 12 years. She and I did search and rescue and went places together that many are not fortunate enough to go. Last October she was diagnosed with lymphoma. At 11 years old we already knew we could not keep her much longer. Our incredible oncology vet worked with us for six good months, GOOD months - but yesterday morning Recon let me know in no uncertain terms that she was tired, and that she was ready to go. Our regular vet was wonderful, and although we know this was the right decision and her passing was peaceful, her loss is difficult to bear. Yesterday I didn't just lose a pet - I lost my best companion, my shadow, my friend. Thank you for giving me a forum to share.

Chris Parker

Red was Debra's boyfriend.He only loved one thing more than he loved her.His ball.He had to cross the Rainbow Bridge and is waiting for her on the other side, with Sheba,Cindy,Jennifer,Spot,and Little Bit.They have all been very well loved,and wait patiently.They still live in Debra's heart.

Janet Khalil

The best puppy God ever created.My baby Boy.He is with my children and my husband now over the Rainbow Bridge. Love you always my beloved puppy.

Noreen Simak

Red, I remember the first time I saw you.
You were at the SPCA and sleeping you were so small and tiny.
One look and I feel in love with you, on my 21st Birthday.
You won my heart!
You have been beating the odds all your life my man.
When you were a year old they said that you had heart worms.
Boy were they wrong.
We didn't give you any treatments and we sent you to live with Uncle Ray on the farm.
You had 50 acres to yourself.
Boy you knew the cars when you heard them, and you would come running.
Then 1 1/2 years ago, Uncle Ray brought you back to the city to live with me.
I was so happy to have you back with me.
Whoever said that you can't teach an old dog new tricks was wrong.
You learned to stay inside the gate and not run off when it was open and I didn't say anything to you, you just did it.
Then you started bring the paper to the door.
No one taught you that.
Man, you are the brightest child of mine.
The last week has been the tuffest seeing you go down in health.
I know this is the hardest decision that we have made.
But it's for the best you don't deserve to suffer and you were.
I will always love you and will be thinking of you.
I can't wait to see you again for another hug and kiss.
Love you momma

Red was our precious little babba who had no rules. He was perfect just the way he was and we loved him unconditionally. I know one day we will see him again. He was one of the true loves of my life and I will never forget him. We saved each other!

Sonia and Shawn LeClere

Randi and Jeffrey Andrews

Our Redford was such a sweet heart. He was 11 years old this Sunday when he died. He had a deep red color to his coat...truly one of the most beautiful dogs I have ever seen...he seemed special. He weighed 92lbs but, always wanted to cuddle like a lap dog. I will miss his kind eyes...and in these past couple years his gray beard...and the way he would turn his head into your hand for a love rub...how good he was with our children...the funny way he would stand at the door when rain was coming-he was our weatherman!
I will miss his happy thumping tail...the way he would jump right in the suburban for a ride.
But, most of all...I will miss his loyal companionship during those quiet moments in the middle of the day when everyone else was at school and work and he would happily follow me from room to room as I straightened the house or put things away...the way he really just wanted to be near me...how happy he was to lay at my feet...to love me. I will truly miss you, my friend...my Redford.

John, Jennifer, Callie, Rieves, & Claire

Spirit dog, helped us through troubled times,brought peace and joy to our lives and I am sure he moved on to help someone else who needs unconditional love and happiness. Thank you my friend.

Kevin/Harriet Matthews

Dear Reddy,
I thank god for sending you to us. You chose us. Not knowing that you were a gift I tried to first reunite you with your previous owners. Not being able to find them, I tried to give you away. I was not ready to have a dog but the kids and dad persisted. I thank god he allowed you to stay with us because over the years I realized that you were a gift sent to us by the creator.
Nothing will ever replace that soft glow of the sun on your shiney red coat or the sweeping fan of a tail you always held high. Never again will we be feel your cold wet nose that you would rub against our legs as a way to show gratitute after a meal. Red dog, from now on we will know you only in our hearts until that miraculous day when you will once again greet us with eyes shining, tail wagging, and your head held high, in heaven. You are loved forever, my angel, my big red dawg.

Robin & Wilfred Vasquez

For Reecee the lionheart.
You were always with me, if not by my side you were on my mind and tugging on my heart.
There will never be another little boo like you, so brave and so loyal. I miss you so much, my tears are no match to what you went through, so suffer no more my love, sleep well and maybe you'll catch those squirrels now.

Mary

Reed died today, helped along by some of the most compassionate people you could hope to find. She was very close to the end of her time here, and as much as I'd have liked to be with her at home when she passed, it became more important simply that I be with her. Feisty as she was throughout her life, she remained calm the whole time, and her passing was very quiet, very peaceful.

I ask only that you help speed her way with prayers and good thoughts. She was a good girl, and I miss her so much.

Until we meet again, beautiful girl. I love you, Reed.

Christine

Reekus,

Letting you go was the hardest thing we've had to do.
We could see in your eyes though, it was time.
If love could have helped you - you would always be here with us, healthy and happy.
I'm glad you are free to jump, run and play.
I hope you will still visit us - I treasure the times that you do.

I'll miss you as our travelling companion.
I'll miss you camping with us - it won't ever be the same.
What special memories we have of you!

I miss you meeting me at the door.
I miss you soaking up the sun.
I miss you at your scratching post.
I miss you playing with your toys.
I miss you enjoying your catnip.
I miss your head pearing out the window.
I miss you sleeping in your Dad's lap.
I miss your paws on my face.
I miss your thunder purrs.
I miss you curling up next to us under the covers.
I miss your paw at night
I miss your love.
I MISS YOU!

Be happy & free my boy!
I love you Kit.
I long for the day we are together again and I can hold you in my arms and feel your silky fur.
I miss you so.... I will always love you!

Your Mom

You were such a dear little cat who fully accepted her lot in life.
Your purr was bigger than yourself and you kept us all so happy.
We did take issue lots of times with your offerings to us, of mice and birds but that was your way of paying for your keep.
We were always so grieved at how you had to deal with your handicaps but they didn't keep you from sharing your love through purrs and licks and rubbing around our legs.
You deteriorated so fast this summer and it was so hard to take you to the vet for your final visit.
You were so bright and looking around at everyone and purring so hard the vet couldn't hear your heartbeat.
It was the hardest thing we had to do to let you go but things would have been much worse for you.
I miss you so much, Reepi.

Oh Reese...I took you from the country, to the city and finally back to the country.
My last memory of you was a face that looked at me when we took out last "ride" to the vet.
You said,
"Thank you for ending my pain.
It's been a great time and I love you, mom!"

Sandy Cowles

To our best friend Reesey Dog.
You were a wonderful companion and so much fun to be around.
I am so glad you let us live with you.

We miss you terribly!

Although your life was ended FAR TOO SOON, you lived a very joyous life. You brought such happiness, love, life, companionship, & entertainment to me (mommy), Daddy (mark), your sisters (Alivia & Ebony), & to everyone that you met. You are sorely missed, but will NEVER be forgotten. May you find happiness in your new life of joy & painlessness. I LOVE YOU BABY BOY.

RIP Reesie, the sweetest Guinea Pig that ever lived. You will be missed!

Krysten

Reesie brought us so much laughter and joy in her 4 short years. We miss her so much. She was the ultimate pal and cuddler. She just wanted to be with us all the time, preferably on someone's lap. She was my sweet baby dog and it broke my heart when she got sick so suddenly and died. She was such a gift to my little family. Our other dachshund Roobie misses her, too.

Sue, Chelsea, and Rossanna Allen

My darling boy

How do I carry on without you?
You have been the love and light of universe for as long as I can remember, my angel, my sweetpea, the reason I get out of bed in the mornings, what do I do now?
You gave me everything, your love, your time, your fluffy cuddles and I thank you so much for that.
Forgive me for making the decision to let you go, I couldn't bear to see you in pain, may God bless you and protect you and please come back and visit whenever you can, there will always be a huge vacant space here waiting just for you.

All my love, now and forever

Mummy

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I miss you so much.
It has only been 4 days and I find myself sitting and thinking of how you came into my life and the wonderful moments that we shared during our 14 years together.
I know that you are in a better place and are no longer suffering.
Maggie is with you so take care of her and I will see you both again someday.
I love you.

Dad

My Little Love, my Furbaby, I will miss you as long as I am on this earth!
Our time together was to short.
I'm so sorry for all the pain you were in mommy just wanted to keep you and I really thought I
could heal you with all those treatments.
Be happy baby I know you are with God and Tracker and all the other pets that have been loved and lost.
Mommy loves you so very very much, I don't know what I am going to do without you!
I miss your elbow kisses so much.

Reggie was the best dog EVER and we all will miss him.
He was a special dog--he was always there for anyone of us when we needed him, he was rarely sick, well behaved, smart, and truly the perfect dog.
He loved to eat 24/7 and we know he will be at the buffet line 24/7, have enough places to swim, a good supply of sticks, be able to run freely again, and that there will be no more thunderstorms to scare him. We look forward to seeing him when our times come at the Rainbow Bridge.

Joan van Berg

Reggie:

Daddy loves you the most!

I will never forget you!Keep running as you always loved to and when it is time I will find you and we will run together as we always did. I miss you terribly! and the house is not the same.

I hope you are feeling better. You are the prettiest dog and I was the proudest with you as you were withme.

Love you forever!

Your Daddy!

We love you Reggie and can't wait to see you again.
Thank you so much for adopting us and allowing us into your life to love you forever.
Thank you for your kind, happy, diligent work in guarding us and our beloved friends and family and neighborhood.
Everyone who meant you loved you.
We all miss you terribly.
Your story lives on in Suzan Vaughn's book with your picture on the cover.
Love You, Love You, Love You and we miss you terribly.

Nancy & Denny

Little Reggie you are missed so much until we meet you on Rainbow Bridge we love you forever

Bob and Carol Wills

My dear sweet Border Collie, so loyal, so precious, I miss you more than anyone can know.

Carole J Chauncey

My Uncle John's dog just had a litter of 9 puppies and they were all adorable.
But there was one particular puppy.
It was all white with Black covering around its left eye.
Everyone wanted that dog.
When I visited the puppies, this black-eyed dog was the first and only one I picked up.
As soon as I did, it licked my face.
I was hooked.

My father wasn't a dog lover at all, but somehow he gave me permission to take one of the dogs.
I wanted the black-eyed one, but my cousin Mary-Ann had a 10 Month-old son and she wanted the same dog.
I told her it was okay and I would choose another one.
A couple of days later she called me and said that it wasn't the right time for her family to have a dog and that I should take the black-eyed one before someone else does.

So I went to pick my dog.
I named it Reggie because I thought it was a boy and I love Reggie Jackson.

During a home visit by a vet, while checking Reggie, the doctor kept saying "good girl".
Stunned I asked, "Then what is that thing between his legs?"
He informed me it was a normal but overgrown ovary.
Reggie was really Regina.
Nevertheless, Reggie remained her name.

For 14 1/2 she was the most loyal creatue in my life.
Many of my friends left but she was always there.
She was my true best friend.
In her eyes, I did nothing wrong.
I never had to say sorry to her.
I never had to look good in front of her.
She was what humans should be.

I miss her so much.
She affected so many people but most of all, she helped me through everything and never asked for anything in return except an occasional belly rub.

Her last year was a struggle and I am so sorry I didn't want to let her go, but she died where she should have.
She died with me after I told her it was okay to let go. She is not suffering anymore and is with me forever.

She will always be that puppy who licked my face as soon as I held her up.
She will always be my puppy.

I love you Reggie.
Thank You for everything.

Rob Moore

Our dear Reggie was the best pal anyone would ever want to have in their life.
He was a protector when Derick was small and a playmate when he got older.
He never barked unless he thought someone was trying to harm us or enter without invitation.
He loved to play with his tug rope, loved to swim in the lake with his own life vest and loved to go out in the rain.
Snow was curious to him as we hardly had snow in Texas.
But he loved to go out in it to play.
His coat was soft as silk and he was a beautiful dog, we rescued him when he was one and how anyone could give him up was unbelievable!!
We will wait for the Rainbow bridge to cross over with him.
Have fund Reggie, we miss you so much.
Phyllis & Derick.

Beautiful Regina of Woodridge, we all miss you but know you are free to be the magnificent animal God created 13 years ago. You were the best friend to your three boys, and it breaks my heart to see these grown men cry for you. You were bossy and independent, funny and loving, and I will never forget you. Catie spent the weekend searching the house for you, but I know she knew you were ready to move on.

Jennifer

Regis, you were one of a kind, my special boy, who saw me through some difficult growing years.
Time has rolled on, but no one can ever replace you.

Sara Hall Phillips

My Dearest sweet boy, Reiki:
My heart is broken and my arms ache for your warm hugs,your soft kisses,the sound of your breath on my neck, and your beautiful brown eyes. I miss you terribly, but am relieved you are not in pain. Please know that I will forever love you and I'll see you at the Bridge when God calls.

Sandra Benanti

My sweet baby girl.

We miss you.

Dearest Reilly:

You were our first love! We have missed you every day since your passing on to Rainbow Bridge (4/10/95). We are comforted knowing that you are romping around freely as you always enjoyed doing.
We look forward to seeing you again when God creates the new heaven and new earth.

Love,
Mom and Dad

I miss you , baby.

Remi was a great, sweet, beautiful cat who gave much joy and comfort for 18 years.
My beloved friend and furchild, who was loved so much, will be forever in my heart.
You will be greatly missed . . . until we see each other again.
Love you Bun, Love my Rem, my best girl.
God Bless you.

Maureen and Gordon

Our Sweet Remington Daniel Diehl,
You left us so suddenly and unexpectedly.
We had no idea anything was wrong.
One minute you're playing with your sister Tika and the next your gone.
We're so glad you did not suffer at all.
You left this world the way we want to go.
Now you can play with Akira, Max, and Princess again.
I know you all are having a good time together.
Go get your ball Rem....we miss you and love you so much.
Love,
Mommy & Daddy

I pay tribute and release Remington into God's hands, this night. Remington was always there for me, especially during my cancer treatments of radiation. He held my hand, he squeezed my hand, he talked to me, he loved me and I loved him. God allowed a beautiful bond to form between animal and human and for this I am so thankful. I give my sweet Remington back to God in praise that Remington did not have to suffer. My heart is breaking, however, I do know I will, someday be reunited with Remington through Jesus Christ my Lord. In loving memory of Remington, my sweet, sweet Remy. Altalee Stellhorn

Dear Remy,

My house is so quiet since you passed.
No cat will ever touch my heart and life the way you have.
You entertained me with your conversation, while constant at time you did not give up until you got your point across.

Your one cross eye gave you even more personality.
I will miss you cuddling me in bed at night and sleeping with your paw draped over my body and your cheek gently resting on my face.

I will even miss you kissing my nose to let me know you want to get up in the morning, even though most of the time that was 4 a.m.
And when I didn't get up I will remember the way you always came up and meowed loudly into my ear.

Remy, you are the first cat to remove my earplugs that I eventually tried in order to sleep longer at night. While you could try my patience I couldn't ever stay mad at you.

I remember eventually putting you outside my bedroom door only to be chewed out in the morning because you could not sleep next to me.

And I will also miss the way you seranade me at night in my bedroom by playing my window blinds while you tried to sing in key.

You did it all, as I watched with amusement.
You were my first cat that ever went into the clothes dryer and my dishwasher just after both of them had run their cycle.
Thank goodness I caught you before you went into the oven.

You were the ulitmate curious cat thats for sure.
But in many ways you weren't a cat, you would follow me in every room and demanded my attention which I lovingly gave.

Remy you found time to always love your furfriend Lily.
You groomed her, took naps with her, played with her, and loved her dearly.

I know you did not want to go but God had other plans for you.
Even though I only had you for 3 years with you you touched my heart and soul in ways that words cannot express.

My tears may eventually dry up but my memories and love for you Remy will never fade.
Thanks to Kari Winters, your foster mom, you became apart of my life.

I know that Ana must have had a really difficult decision in giving you and Lily to the Siamese Cat rescue but things sometimes happen for a reason.

I know you are basking in heavens sunlight, and are cuddling with my Mom who passed when I was 27.
I look forward to the day when we are all reunited.

Goodbye Remy, we love you!

Lily (cat) and Robin



I LOVE YOU REMY

REMY

My big boy. I remember the moment I met you at the Ft. Myers, FL pound as a puppy and you were so scared. You grew strong, were a wonderful dog and my best friend...you were always there for me. I was fortunate to have you in my life for 10 1/2 years and I wanted so many more years. I can't believe you are gone...it has only been a few days but my grief is so deep and my heart hurts so much. I love you big boy and I will miss you forever.

Love, Mommy

Lea

Remy was the sweetest, happiest and most loyal dog! More than 4 years ago, in the autumn of 2003, we found Remy living as a stray dog in the hills of Sint Maarten. He was found nearly dead from malnourishment and exhaustion.
One night, after leaving the gym, Monique found him sitting next to her car. He was all skin and bones and had hardly any hair left. His eyes were the saddest she had ever seen in a dog.
Monique started to feed Remy on a regular basis and tried to coax him into the car, but Remy was scared to go in the car. Christmas was approaching and Monique was scheduled to leave for vacation off island. She really started to worry about the dog, who in the meantime she named « Remy ». There would be nobody to feed him, and she was afraid that he would not survive.
Miraculously, about five days before her scheduled leave, Remy jumped into the car. She closed the door immediately and took him home. He was very quiet during the trip, like he wanted to come along already for a long time, but was just scared of the car. Remy had severe mange and heartworm-disease, and he was very skinny and weak. So while Monique & Bert went away, Remy stayed at the vet's office and was well taken care of.
And an amazing thing happened : he was declared heartworm-free !
He had lots of energy, was very loyal and is good friends with his "sisters", Puk,Coco & Mickey. He loved to play and run, chase lizzards in the yard, dance and he even learned to swim! Remy loved unusual snacks, such as bananas and oranges. Remy always wanted to be close to us.

For more than 4 years, Remy has been the sweetest, happiest, most loyal and funniest dog!
We loved him so much.
On January 14th 2008 he lost the battle against ehrlichia (tickfever).
We will miss him, he was a very special and loving dog, he was our miracle.

Monique & Bert Hofman

You will be missed.

Angie

I still remember the day I saw you, I don't know if you picked me or if I picked you.
You walked over to me, just a little brown and white puffball, and I just fell in love.
Your face always had a smile on it and your tail was always up.
You were my baby and I just could not imagine ever being without you.
You were a constant companion even when the kids were born you were there with me during the late night feedings and the crying.
When I found out that you had CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) I knew that the end would be coming soon.
When we finally had to say our goodbyes to you it was just about the hardest thing to do.
I hope that we did the right thing, my mind and the vet said it was, but my heart did not want to let go.
It's been about a week now and my mind still thinks of you, I sometimes see you as the young pup that you were, sometimes I see that dreadfull day.... Oh how much I miss you, holding you, touching your soft fur, I know in my heart that I can never, ever have another dog again because I can't go through this kind of loss again. Our time was too short, I know that I'll see you again, you are a good boy, the best, I love you, you will always be remembered.:(

Jennifer

Our hearts are broken into a million pieces, but we now know that you are free to run and play, no more pain and suffering. You were the best friend anyone could ask for. You will always be with us, and we love you so very much.
Until we meet again one day . . . . .

Billy & Robin Osborne

Our baby girl, Rena, left us last night. She was in pain and it was only right for her to be let go. We love her so much and while we stand and cry and stare at the stars begging her to come home...she is galloping, no longer arthritic, no longer deaf, no longer hurting...just missing us and telling us that she is home and that she's always in our hearts until we are joined together again.

Nina Dunlap, Danielle Laurange, Cody Laurange

My Friend Rene, waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.

Thomas P. E. Rachels

Yesterday I lost my best friend and companion of 12 years. Although I have had many dogs throughout my life, Renegade was something special. He was the smartest dog I have ever known. I believe he came into my life for a reason, and he was always there for me. Cancer took him from me, and my heart is broken. The house feels so empty, and so quiet without him here. Rest in peace Renegade, I will never forget you.

Donnie Tomlinson

It was October 3, 1993 the day we met.
I left for work that morning in the midst of a heavy rain.
When I opened my car door, a drenched, fuzzy orange thing jumped in.
I wasn't a cat person at the time so I grabbed you and tossed you out.
You jumped in again only to be tossed out a second time.
It's true what they say about cats.
You don't pick them, they pick you.
You were determined that I was going to be your human so you jumped in the car a third time.
I was tired of fighting your tenacity so I thought I'd take you to work with me.
You weren't a cat, but you weren't a kitten either.
You didn't know how to meow, you meeped.
Like Beaker from the muppets.
I figured you'd destroy the inside of my car so I turned around and took you home.
You caught the interest of the dogs instantly.
Bear the Samoyed and Rocky the Shepherd/Rot mix.
As you lay stretched out on my bed they ran over to sniff you.
You casually stretched that cat stretch way walked over to Rocky and swatted him across the snout.
At that point I think we all realized you were there to stay.
I named you Renfield because you ate bugs.
Like Renfield in Dracula.
I should have named you Hannibal because you became a skilled serial killer of all things rodent or winged.
You snuggled and slept with me every night, but Lord help anyone who annoyed you.
You had no qualms about shredding a stupid human hand or foot with your claws and fangs.

You fell in love with Bear and he became your best friend.
You never had a fear of dogs, in fact, I think you thought you were one.
You had an amazing personality and made cat lovers out of cat enemies.
We called you the fuzzy orange ball of hate because you were such a bad ass lovable fuzz butt.
I'm sure Bear was thrilled to see you, so take care of each other.
Don't beat up Rocky too much.
Thanks for teaching me to love something as evil as a cat.
Terrorize all of the critters you can find, scarf down all the tuna, turkey and dog food you can steal and I'll carry you across the bridge with me when it's time.
Love, your stoopid human

We love you, Rennie. You will always be our chickeny chicken.

Debbie and Brian

My Sweet Renna was a true gift from Heaven. This girl touched every single person that she came in contact with. With her floppy ears and silly eyes, you couldn't help but smile and appreciate the love she was giving. She was my best friend, listener, comforter and love. She's licked my tears and shared in my excitement.
Renna, my heart is truly broken without having you in my life anymore. But I will always remember you with happy thoughts and try to take that with me forever. We all miss you my sweet baby and Pop-Pop and I will carry you with us in our hearts forever! Take care my sweet Renna, I love you.

Roxann Luberecki

My Special Little Man

Mary Brigode

In Idaho Falls she chose a young girl to watch her fill her paws,
Scamper about, clumsily fumble, and grow to be,
At Dad's house, she sized-up this potential spouse,
Her head in our laps in a "we-haul"? headed toward the sea.

In Gig Harbor she sat by as we walked under the arbor,
Protecting and overseeing our new lives you and me,
We played "wall-ball"?, her happily leaping and standing tall,
Drempt alongside us when we camped, and played in the surf at the sea.

Had her quarters, her comfy box, her job was to watch,
Everyday wags and greetings from afar and sloppy kisses in our car,
Moved to the sunny side, gleely "put her shoes on"? for the river path stride,
Special, happy girl! she chased geese, swam for sticks, and never ran out of pee!

We thought this fun was for her, but it's now clear,
The girls motives are oh so obvious to me,
All these years, the moves, the tiffs, the tears,
It was her mission from God the making of you and me.

And your angel is now gazing upon us and waiting in God's eternity.

Ron and Toni

Reno,
You were my BEST FRIEND and always there for me!
I love you so much and will miss you forever until we are reunited in heaven. There will never be another like you, not even close. I will miss seeing your beautiful face and kissing your nose.
I don't know how I'm going to do life without you.
You left and didn't tell my heart how to live without you.

Susan Zapata

Reno
1994 - 2008

On June 9, I said goodbye for the last time to my friend of 14 years, Reno. She stood by me when I was sick or well, in the best of times and the worst of times. She was a source of laughter and comfort. Reno died as she lived, with dignity, in the arms of the person who loved her.

My vet and I made a decision to euthanize my girl after a debilitating disease made her life too painful to be endured. She passed quietly in my arms.

I will always miss Reno, but I will remember what a blessing she was to me. She was a gift from God right from the start.

Sandy

Reno you were always there for me.
I will never forget you.
You were special to me!
I love you Reno!

Amy

With neverending love we wish you peace and freedom from pain and suffering. Your whole life was a living example of patience and tolerance of others . You will be in our hearts forever, love you so much girl , always your loving family.

Marla Anderson

Our beautiful boy Reno passed away last night at home in my arms from chronic renal failure.
We are comforted in the fact that it was a short illness but devasted none the less.
He was a very, very sweet, special boy who will forever remain in our hearts and memories.
We love you baby, rest in peace!

Love, Mummy, Daddy, Samson and Chewy

Mommy & Daddy and the rest of the family misses you so much! You will never be forgotten and you will always be in our hearts!! You brought us all so much joy & happiness with all the little things that you would do in your own special ways. We Love You so much!!!!!

Dale & Betty Jones

Repo, my sweet little baby boy. You are so dearly missed, that I am having trouble expressing how much you really meant to me. I had you for 13 years, and that was not nearly long enough. You were so happy and always just wanted love and attention; and I was more than happy to give it to you! :) We loved you so much and still do, and always will. You were not our pet, but an extention of our family. I just hope you realize how much you meant to us, you will never be forgotten, ever. I love you sweetie <3

Heather

She'll be in my heart wherever she goes, my little girl in Basset clothes.

We cry many tears in each showing the world how much love we have for you. Our pumpkin, Our BabyDog, our hero - The love and light of our lives. Run free big boy.... run free. Love for eternity Mom, Dad and adopted sister dog Cofax

Rescue thank you for the time we were with each other, from the fist day we met I told you how much I love you, ( more then the air I breath) and I was your new daddy and we would be together and I would love you and cherish you for ever and ever, and I saw in your eyes that you knew what I was saying and that you felt the same for me. You were my life and still are, but life won't be the same till I have you back in my arms and looking in each others eyes once again when we meet at the rainbow bridge, love you my baby Zwee

Russell E. Curtis

Reuben came into our lives when we needed him and he needed us.
He was an old soul with a kind heart.
We will miss him terribly. We know that he would only want us to be happy because that was all he ever wanted for us in his life.
We love you Reuben.

Karen Shiner

Reva-baby, my constant companion and my best friend:
You were and still are the love of my life.
Your loyalty, humour, intelligence, beauty, and presence, are deeply missed.
You left your mark forever, and I thank you.
I was so privileged and blessed to be able to call you mine.
I will always be yours.
I will never forget you, I long to be with you, and I wait for that day.
Tears and so much Love.

Gail Sinclair

In tribute to Revel.

If ever there were a soul-mate dog, you were it.
I have never known a bond as close as that which we shared.
You brought more joy into my life than words can say, and I will miss you.

Good bye my friend,

There will always be that one place,

that only they could fill.

Tammy

We will forever miss Rex.

Regina Conrad

You were the pet shop stud cat, finally neutered and retired locked in a little cage marked $100.
You waited patiently for me to find you and once I took you home and you were always near me. You were my constant loyal loving companion, more special to me than any other pet I've had. Now dear one, I am devastated you are gone. Suddenly ill and passed away, I am left with a huge whole in my heart and my life. There is no consoling me and no replacing you. Until we meet again my little clown. Luv mum

Today was the saddest thing i ever had to do. after 17 yrs he was tired and sick. I held him till his last breath kept repeating in his ear "Mommy loves you forever Rex"

My best friend came in the form of a 10 lb pom mix. I can't describe the bond I shared with him. my heart is so broken.
I want to believe he is running around a huge field with bunch of bushes and having a great time.

I know the bond and love we shared will remain close to my heart forever.

TO REX
"I love you rex" I will try for you to find peace and know you dont want me crying forever.
I will see you my best friend in everything i do, and love you till i take my last breath.
your mommy

PETE..X0...

We loved you so much, Rex.
Thanks for being a great pet.
We'll miss you.

Michele-Lee Shapiro

Rex was a wonderful, sweet and smart lab.
He was indeed a true joy for me to see every day of his 15 years.
He was not only all these things, but also protective in the best of ways.
He let me know when someone was around, giving me a sense of security, but never barked when it was unnecessary.
(He knew the good guys from the bad!)
He was the an unconditional best friend.
When others let me down, he never did. Several times I would come home from a bad day, and maybe a tear here or there, and the tail would be wagging.
I will miss him the rest of my days, but I will join him one day.
I will always love him.

Lorie

Our beautiful boy passed away very suddenly Thursday evening.
We are devastated by his loss and at the same time our other boxer, a female, is also very ill.
Please pray for us our Rex and our Heidi

Leann and Rob Stites

My dear Rex:
I miss you so much! I cannot tolerate to be at home without you. Please, be happy as you always were. I cannot be happy without you. I need you with me.

Mariana

Rex was a beautiful cat. He brought a lot of happiness to the lives of myself and my mum. He was the kitten of my older cat Whiskers and I remember excitedly the day he was born (I was 13 at the time and now am 26). He was a friendly cat and great communicator. He would meow as if to say "thankyou" when I opened the door for him.
He stayed on my bed faithfully each day I was ill with glandular fever. Then last year, he developed diabetes. It was my turn to be there for him. I gave him injections of insulin twice a day. On Febuary 4th of this year, I made the devistatingly painful decision along with my mum, to put Rex out of his pain and suffering. I loved him so much and could see how sick he was. It was the hardest thing i've ever had to do but he is now at peace and I cherish the memories I shared with him. RIP Rex.

Kate

Rex,

You brought us joy with your kind and gentle demeanor- you were a good sport at bath time, and were loved very much (you were the best School Bus 135 mascot EVER!)

We miss you.
Take care, li'l buddy!

Craig & Lindsey

We so miss your sweet and gentle presence.
Our home is so quiet without you.
We hope that by now you have met Bo at the Rainbow Bridge.
We are so happy that you came into our lives 7-1/2 years ago and we will never forget our wonderful times with you.

John and Janet Ruehr

our beloved Rex,
We love you so much.
You were apart of our family and our hearts for 10 years.
You gave us unconditional love each day.
It broke our hearts to let you go today, but we know you are with Bapa Jim and your Sara now.
You and Sara can now run and play just like you did.

We will miss you!!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
(Jack and Olivia too!!!)

He was barely 6 weeks old when he and his sister came to live with my family, but he quickly made himself an integral member of the family. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 27 months of age. To say he will be missed would be a gross understatement. He was simply way to young to die! Each and every member of this household is in deep shock and grief at his passing. He may be gone but will never be forgotten.

Stephen Haltom

We Loved you so much for 16 years & miss you terribly. I hope you forgive me for having to put you to sleep because you were suffering so terribly. I would give anything to have you here again!! I'll see you again~ My Old Man!!

Lori

Rex was my loving, devoted, affectionate & mischevious pet for over 9 years.
He never left my side & I took him everywhere with me.
He was highly intelligent, an excellent watchdog & very playful & gentle with children.
No words can express the pain in my heart or how empty I feel without him waking me up every morning, sticking his big nose in my eyeball, nudging me to let him out or go for a walk or playing all of our little treat & chew bone games.
He was my baby & he is sorely missed & will be forever fondly remembered with overwhelming love.

Debi Austin

My sweet special Rexy:
May you find peace and happiness in Heaven and always watch over me.
I miss you dearly.

Celeste Morrow

We will meet again baby boy...
Take care of Zoe for me...I'm thinking Callie cat can take care of herself!
I love you.

Wendy

We lost our cat last year at 18 months old (Pebbles) in a RTA, after much thinking we adopted Rhea at 16 weeks old from the RSPCA.

She made the last 9 months amazing, she was beautiful and my little baby roo :o)

Last night we received a phone call to say our little cat had been killed in a RTA too.

Rhea we are heartbroken, but glad we got you back, we cuddled and stroked you and laid you to rest in our garden.
You was one fantastic little cat, who I miss sleeping with, cuddling and your throat wobbling in the morning and evening.

Why were you on that road I will never know, but I just want to say, that we loved every minute we had you and will miss you dearly.
After losing you and Pebbles I can not love anyone else and could never replace you.

We love you Baby Roo and say hello to Pebbles, and make sure she looks after you, I know we will meet again and until that day remember We Loved You Very Much and will always have a place in our hearts

Love your mum and dad



In memory of a real friend, a constant companion, she will be missed.

Daniel Kennelly

Rhonda, you were a great dog.
I know if we could get through your puppy years, you would be.
We had a great time while you were here and I will always remember you.
Bye Beauty Queen....

Gail Fisher

Ria was the love of my life.
From a tiny puppy full of endless bounce and spirit, to the day she died, she gave me hope, love, inspiration and helped me through some of the hardest times in my life.
9 years on and writing this still makes me cry. She was an unreplaceable and devoted beloved friend to me and my family.

Jane Pomfret

In memory of my dear sweet boy Ricky. May you rest & play as much as you want now. I will love forever & ever.

Until we meet again my baby boy,
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH,
Momma

Ricki,you were a good cat,you will never be replaced,you were so different from all the rest of them,we'll miss you badly,you will be forever in our hearts,Farewell

Brianna/Molly/Mark/Mary

Thank you for choosing me - my precious,loving friend.

Catherine Boosalis

Rickie Babe, you were the cutest, most lovable rascal we ever owned. It hurts so much to have lost you so young in you life and so young in ours. Son and I won't ever forget you. Although you biting did hurt a little and the scratches on the side of the car weren't cool, you were the best. Now when we see your toothy grin on my screen saver we will remember not how sad your passing made us, but how joyfull your life made us. keep a lookout at the Rainbow Bridge and if you find princess and jane, let them know Kira is doing just fine. We love you kid! and we miss you so much. On monday all the candles in the house will burn for you my friend.

Forever your family, Kat and Dillon

I loved being your mommy, Ricky!
I will miss you so much.

Shannon Breznai

We will always love you Ricky and we miss you terribly. The house isn't the same without you running through it chasing your imaginary mice but we know you're in a pain free place now.
Sleep in peace dear Ricky and thank you for sharing your life with us and bringing us joy for 14 wonderful years.

Carol Hix

A good boy.
Wait for me at The Bridge with your brothers and sisters.

Margreat Cole

Ricky was my first baby. My neighbor's daughter had bred her female for these adorable cairn terrier/poodle mix puppies. I remember like it was yesterday when the doorbell rang. I had just arrived home from kindergarten and there stood three of the cutest black puppies I had ever seen. My mom said, "Go ahead, pick one." And I did. I chose Ricky, whom I named him after Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz). My parents say he was a little booger as a puppy, but I hardly remember. Although he had a temper and was extremely upset with us when Charlie (our other dog) arrived in 2003, he was still our first baby and would always hold a special place in our hearts. If I had never had Ricky in my life, I would have never known the joy and love a pet can bring into one's life. Since his passing, I started volunteering at a local non-profit animal shelter and actually rescued or adopted one of their puppies. I now volunteer there on a regular basis and thank Ricky for allowing such love to come into my heart. If it weren't for him, I probably would have never set foot into a shelter. Ricky passed at 12 years of age in 2006. Our poor baby suffered there towards the very end (last week of his life) and wound up having to be put down due to him starting to bleed out. It was, to this day, the single most devastating day of my life. I have never lost a family member or a friend before, but Ricky was my first. I like to think that his spirit is still around and looking over us, smiling and cherishing all of the memories we had together.

Jen

We found our sweet angel on a walking path just minutes after witnessing a terrible woman kicking him in the face.
Before we knew it, he had run to us for help and we rescued the hungry and wounded little man and brought him into our home and our family.
He was a tender soul who never asked for more than food, water, and an unlimited supply of chin rubs.

We miss you and love you Ricky, and your sisters Ethel and Lucy will never be the same.
Thank you for all that your brought our family.
We will never forget you and we will be forever grateful for knowing you - even if it was for too short a time.

John and Paula Boesch

Goodbye my little boy;

I love you so much Ill miss you every day of my life my baby Ricky wait for me at rainbow bridge I love you so much
Thank You St Francis for helping my boy and giving us all this time.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Your Grandma Michelle



I love you more then words can say, I think about you each and everyday.

Holly

Rico, you came into our lives when the gentleman that put a deposit on you failed to pick you up.
We came along and fell in love with you immediately.
You filled our home and hearts with your gentleness and devoted love, day after day.
You grew into the most beautiful pomeranian.
You were a gentle buddy to Marlow and Mickey.
The years passed to quickly.
In April of 2008 your health started to fail.
You were a trooper and never let on when you weren't feeling good. We labored with living without you.
But in the end we knew we had to say goodbye or else you would have suffered more each day.
Our home has been quite and lonely for three months now.
Dad and I hate to come home to the empty home.
We hear you in the house, we wait for you to come around the corner at any moment.
Dad hasn't made pancakes since you left his side.
We have your pictures all over the house.
Our memories are clouded right now with the loss of you.
We pray that tommarrow will be a little easier. We know you are watching over us and praying that we open our hearts to another little furbaby. That day is not too far off.
Keep watch over us and we hope to see you again one day.
Love Mom & Dad, (Marlow and Mickey said "Me Too".

Jo Ann and Frank

Rico, I miss you terribly. I pray you and Mom are joyful to be together again.

Sonja

Rico was a wonderful dog. Full of light he brought so much joy to our family. He will be terribly missded. Rico passed suddenly of an aneursem. There was no indication nothing. I think thats why I am having such a hard time dealing with the fact he is gone.

Christina Bilotta

Everybody who comes to visit misses you greeting them at the door.
Zora especially misses you because no body else lets her rub against them like you did.
I really miss the "cute thing" you did when you wanted food or attention. You were a real sweetheart.

Debby Humble

Ricochet,

You entered this world on June 15, 1993, became one with my heart on August 3, 1993 and returned to God's loving arms on January 21, 2008.
I have never experienced such complete and profound grief in my life.
I knew we were meant to be together the moment I saw you crouching on top of that cardboard box in a cage with 4 other kittens at the local shelter.
You were so tiny...like an oversized black cotton ball.
You fit in the palm of my hand.
We have been through so much together.
Moving from Kansas to California...then back again 3 weeks later.
You pretending to be completely knocked out for the flight only until your cage door was opened which is when you tried to make a break for it.
I will never forget daddy Kendall and Uncle Rodney chasing you through Kansas City International Airport.
They both knew that if they didn't catch you I would never leave that place until you came back to me.
I'll miss you following me from room to room.
I'll miss our talks.
I'll miss your chirping trill.
I'll miss you greeting me when I come home.
I'll miss you laying in the doorway while I take a bath - seemingly protecting me from any intruders.
I'll miss those adorable tufts of fur in between your toes and your big, fluffy tail.
I'll miss you bringing me toys you "killed" to show me what a big, tough boy you were.
I'll miss you taking naps in my lap.
I'll miss all the tummy kisses, and tail kisses, and nose and forehead kisses.
I'll miss the hugs.
I miss you so profoundly that I don't know how I will make it through each day.
I meant what I said when I brought you home with me on August 3rd, 1993, "I will love you every second of every day for the rest of my life."
Now, in addition to loving you, I will miss you every second of every day for the rest of my life.

Love,
Mom

Ricochet, you were my best friend. I loved you with all of my heart. I couldn't have asked for a better dog, friend, or family member than you. I loved you so much. I remember all the wonderful times we had together. I grew up with you, and you grew up with me. You'll never know how much I loved you. Maybe you're not supposed to. I know you're in a better place now, and I'll meet you there someday.

Jared

We rescued Ridge 8 years ago when he was 3 years old.
He had been terribly abused and starved.
When he came with us to our cottage in the woods near the shore in Maine, he turned into the most happy, athletic, intelligent, sensitive dog you could imagine.
Ridge had complete freedom to run through the woods and swim in the bay.
But he refused to leave our yard unless we accompanied him.
We took him for hikes everyday.
I (Patty) took him with me everyday to villages, ponds, the seashore, beaches....all the places I went to do my photography.
Only one time did we ever kennel him, and we were all so miserable we decided we would never leave him again, and we kept that promise.
We lost Ridge very unexpectedly one Saturday evening.
He died in David's arms in the back of my car at the animal hospital.
It was very peaceful and fast, and for that we are grateful.
Ridge has a wonderful grave in our yard beside his beloved woods...but I feel his spirit with me everyday.
We both have cried our eyes out because we miss him so badly, and we loved him so dearly.
Our home will never be the same again without this beautiful happy-go-lucky dog.
My heart feels so heavy and I feel so alone, just as my husband does.
We were so blessed to have him in our lives.
One day we believe we will certainly see Ridge again.
As Catholics, we believe the words written by John Paul II, in which he states that animals most certainly do have souls, as God breathed the breath of life into them.
He stated they are sinless and will be in Heaven....and that they are more deserving of Paradise than many humans. I am trying to improve, but each day seems the same.
I am in counseling, but I need more contact and advice concerning my severe grieving. He was like a little boy to me.
We will forever hold Ridge close in our hearts.
Mommy and Daddy love you very, very much Ridgie.
We'll be together again one day...and this time it will be for all eternity!
Hugs and Kisses, Ridgie.

Mommy and Daddy

Words cannot begin to explain to anyone what Ridge meant to our family.
He was found at our Church and appeared to be about 5 to 6 weeks old.
He was so pitiful, malnourished and scared.
We took him the next day to the vet and had him tested for FeLv and he tested negative.
He was given all his shots and we fell in love with him the moment we saw him.
He truly belonged to my daughter, who has beautiful carmel colored hair.
Ridge shared her carmel color on his ears, tail and feet.
Ridge and she had the exact same colored blue eyes.
He followed every step she took and loved her in a way that was beyond describing.
When he was about 9 months old he was treated for what the vet thought was an ear infection.
He couldn't shake the infection and did not respond to treatment.
The vet re-tested him for FeLv and he tested positive.
The explanation for the first negative FeLv test was that it was not active at the time.
The mother cat must have passed it to Ridge.
We were heart broken. During his illness he responded time and time again to the love he had for my daughter and the love she had for him. The vet and our family tried everything to save him, but it was in God's plan for him to cross the rainbow bridge.
He had such an impact on our lives.
We miss him everyday.
I look forward to seeing him again when we are in heaven.
I encourage anyone who is considering a kitty to have him tested for FeLv.
Do not let our experience keep you from reaching out and loving.
Even if we knew Ridge's outcome, we would do it all over again.
The love we shared with him was worth the heart ache.
In loving memory of Ridge Pickett.

Jan Pickett

RIP Buddy. You'll be sorely missed.Your with the others now @ Rainbow Bridge. We'll see you again. Tell my Mali I miss her, and Cocoa that her mommy misses her. Take care of em. See ya in a little while buddy.

Lori, For Freda & Moe

You have been my best friend and confidante for so long now.
I still loved you when you chose to stay with your new papa.
My love for you will never die.
You have been with me through the most difficult times of my life and now your suffering is over.
I love you.

Darcie, Jan, Joe and Joseph Muro

Thanks for always being there, I miss you sooo much.
You will always be in my HEART.

Your Best Friend

You were the sweetest, most playful cat I could ever have asked for. From the moment I met you, I fell in love with your playful disposition and generous purr. You were so brave at the end, purring until you could purr no more. There will never be another Rijyah cat. You're the bestest kitty!

Maura

You were my first grandkitty before I had grandkids. You loved the Rijyah chant:
She's the R kitty, the favorite kitty cat of all time, she's the R, she is special she is granny's favorite extra special kittycat (I hope you can hear this in heaven.) I loved you and you loved me.
You were a big, big, big loving girl.
Beautiful and glamorous you looked like the cat that graced the coverpage of the black cat calendar so much we thought you had a side job;-) I hope you are happy with no pain, plenty of food, naps, playing, affection and scenery like out granny's window where you loved to be. Love always, Granny

Ceilia

To our beautiful baby. You brought us so much love for 15 years. We miss you more than we ever thought possible. You are now out of pain and released. You will always be missed and thought about. Thank God we had the blessing to have you as ours. Someday, we will see you again, rest in peace, you beautiful angel. mommy and daddy

My sweet Rikki. You left us suddenly just before I returned from my trip to Tucson. You were fine when Dad left to pick me up at the airport. When we returned less than 2 hours later, you didn't come to the door. I called you and you didn't come. I went outside and saw you lying underneath my wind chimes, your body without life. I was so shocked, I couldn't believe you left us. I picked you up and discovered you were gone. You hadn't been gone long, you were just cool. Oh my dear Rikki, my heart is breaking. You had a rough life and I know I made it better for you. You were my happy dog! Your sisters look for you, but you aren't there. I count noses and know one is missing when I count six. I still grab seven cookies looking for your fluffy tail wagging hard, looking for the goodies you loved so dearly. Your first three years of your life were so horrible and I know the last nine with me were good for you. You were the sweetest girl on the planet. I know you are at the Bridge with your other sisters, Sammi, Suzi, Holly and Tootsie. Please pass on my love. You hold a very special place in my heart, sweet girl. I hope you no longer have to struggle. I'll love you forever, Mom (Geri Chaney)

We lost our beloved Rikki this evening. I had been out of town and my husband was taking care of all of my girls. When I came home, I found her under my wind chimes and tree in the backyard. She was no longer warm, but wasn't yet stiff. I so wish she had hung on for me. If we had been 10 minutes earlier, would she still be with us? We will never know and my heart is broken. We had 4 rescued mini schnauzers, 2 mini schnauzers raised from pups and 1 rescued bichon/schnauzer mix. Rikki had been removed from a horrible home, been kept in a crate and laid in her own mess for a long time. She had maggots chewing on her flesh when she was rescued. After she healed and she was able to walk, she turned into a wonderful sweet girl. We left her tail in a fluffy bob, we called it her tennis ball tail. She was a happy dog. She was with us 9 years. She had had a tracheotomy because of a debark that went back several years ago. She had troubles but they didn't get her down. She was always in a very happy place with us.

Oh Rikki darlin', I hope you get all the cookies, bananas and popcorn you can eat up at the Bridge. I will miss you forever. I loved you. Mama Geri

My precious little heartbeat there is not a day that goes by when i do not think of you. I miss you so much,I miss your pretty little face,your sassy little walk.I pray you are with Lyle and our other furkids. I want to believe you are running and enjoying the blue sky and warm sun. Walk beside me my baby.Please give me a sign you are ok
Love you to the sky down to the ground with all my heart,all my smiles....Luv you Mum

Rileigh,

You were the light of our lives for fifteen years.
The time flew by as it was a privilege to have you in our family.
We will always love and remember you as the "bestest Rileigh girl in the world."

We love you and miss you terribly...
Mark, Lisa, and Bayley

I miss you every day.
It doesn't get any easier.

Pam Biasotti

You were such a beautiful and affectionate boy.
Your suffering is over and your presence is greatly missed.
May your rest in peace baby.
We will always love you!

Mommy, Daddy and Dylan

We miss our Riley girl!
She brought so much joy to our lives in the short 3 1/2 years She spent with us. She will never be forgotten.
We will meet up with her again someday on the rainbow bridge!

David & Denise

Riley, It's been less than a day since we lost you. My heart is broken
and aching for my best friend. You tried so hard to handle your disease and but it was just too much for your little body. I don't blame you for leaving me as I know you had no choice. Thank you for the 7 1/2 years wonderful years you gave me. Your love was unconditionally and never wavered. You were always the best part about coming home. Everyone misses you including Jake and Sonny. I hope you have fun at Rainbow bridge and I long for the day I can hold you again. and of course play tug a war. You are the love of my life and I will hold you forever in my heart. Love Nana

My Dear Riley,
Words cannot describe the emptiness I am feeling for you. You were taken away from me too early and we were both not ready. What I would do to have one more moment with you. My heart breaks for you. I only hope you have found that one place where you will find eternal happiness, love and friendship and that you will remember me when we meet again. I will forever love you and remember all of our wonderful and fun times together. I will see you carrying your leash in my dreams every night. I love you Riley!!!

Darla

Riley,
You taught us so much about unconditional love.
You were the sweetest, most kind and friendly dog we've ever known and you were a blessing to our family.
You will remain in our hearts forever.
You will be deeply missed until we meet you again some day.
We love you!

Karen, Ryan, Brent, and Grandma

We all love you and miss you so much.

Colleen

Dear Riley,
You were my best friend...someone to come home to...someone to love...someone to care about.
We met at a time when we both needed each other desperately.
You had been abused, and I had just become an empty nester.
Now my nest is empty again.
We had 7 great years together!
I will always remember all the barking you did during car rides. How you would scurry into your room when you did something you knew was bad, but I never scolded you!
How you loved your fire hydrant toy and would fetch it when I played with you.
Your last months weren't very vigorous ones and I knew in my heart we would be saying good-bye soon.
Never did I realize how hard it would be. I will try to think of you at the Rainbow Bridge happy, healthy and knowing you were very loved!
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU RILEY!!!
LOVE AND KISSES!
MOM

I will forever miss your kind heart and gentle spirit. All who knew you loved you! I would give anything to have one more smell of breath. I loved you best, Ri!

Melanie Shetter

My favorite Riley story:
About 14 years ago, when Riley was about 4 months old, a tiny pretzel became lodged in my airway.
I could not breathe effectively, all that came out of my mouth was a crowing sound. I tried desperately to cough but it just wouldn't dislodge.
Just when I thought I would have to throw myself over a chair to do the Heimlich, the pretzel shot out across the room.
My darling Riley, who was sitting next to me on the sofa, JUMPED off the sofa, RAN across the room and ATE the pretzel.
Even when I was at death's door, my darling boy could make me laugh.
I miss him so much and am so grateful for the years we had together.

Barb Nelson

My boy!
You had my heart the first time we met.
Thank you Riley for bringing so much love and joy into my life.
I am missing you more than I can express!

Jamie Padgett

Riley - we will miss you very much. We miss the way you made that brmrrrow sound when we'd come upstairs. We miss the way you'd run into a room and run right back out. We miss the way you'd play with sparkley balls and the way you used to play "catch" with ball when you were a kitten. We miss hearing your bell and collar clink the water bowl when you'd drink. We miss seeing you sneak into the bathroom to lick the shower after we were done. I miss finding you sleeping in hidden places. I miss the way you used to "belly show", it wasn't often, so I know it meant you were happy and content. And mostly Tigger and I miss the way you used to snuggle with us. Riley, I'm so sorry. I hope we gave you a good home. I love you and miss you so much!

Beth A

Riley - So so sorry that you went the way you did.
Such a curious boy - you shouldn't have went out on the ice with nobody home.
Such a good boy you were when you were in the office.
I think back about that day often - you were such a sweet and gentle boy.

I will always remember you Riley - I hope that you have a very special place over the Rainbow Bridge!!!

Paula J Myers

To the best companion and friend - we love you.

Brett Cheever

Riley was a beautiful girl who came to our home from PAWS, a local shelter.
She was chosen by Cagney, a Lhasa Apso who was the Alpha in the home to the other pup, Jesse - a westie.
Riley had spent some time on the streets as a stray and was shy with us to begin with.
It's my belief that she was dropped off because she had an infection and could pee in the yard, come in and squat and pee on the carpet.
A simple trip to the vet, some blood work - poof!
Problem over!
Riley had health issues (seizures, UTI's and two near-death incidents).
She was a great girl, she had a sense of humor, she talked and would sit up like a meercat - she looked so adorable as her body was long and her feet were very big.
Oh, her hair was very long but we kept her 'puppy cut'.

She didn't like men and most people thought she must have been abused.
We loved her.
We have a chair we call the "barking chair" - a chair she would go to where she could look out the front window and see who was passing by.
This is where she died.
She is missed by everyone who knew her.

Pam and Bonnie

Riley, my loyal and compassionate friend, dedicated mother to her puppies, playful, intelligent, sensitive, loving best friend.
You are in my heart every moment.
Your loss is breaking my heart.
I pray that God has taken you to heaven and that we can be together again someday.

Kristy Paeth

We said goodbye to our precious Riley yesterday.
Although he went suddenly, we are so grateful for the lifetime of memories that we will cherish.
He was the "best boy"; he was goofy, sweet, gentle, smart, beautiful and loving in so many incredible ways.
We will always miss him and wish he didn't have to leave us so soon, but know that he is home with God and waiting for us. So many people loved him and have hurting hearts, but his "Mama" and "Papa" loved him beyond measure .. just the way our sweet boy loved us.
Run with the angels Riles.

Tom and Chris Brenneman

You were the love of our lives and our bestest boy for the entire 8 years you were with us. We will never forget your silly ways, your sweet face and your unconditional love. You will always be in out hearts.

Megan Bates

To my sweet baby Riley James, mommy misses you so much that my heart is breaking.
I can still feel you soft kisses on my face and the warmth of your love. You loved everyone and they loved you.
Your time on this earth was not long enough.
I keep thinking that you will walk into the room and paw your bowel for extra food or sit patiently by the door to go for your walk.
I love you Riley and I can't let you go.
I hope you have found Phoenix and Aspen and will wait for me on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge until mommy can be with you once more.

Michelle Vermillion

Daddy Michael

Riley,
You brought joy to everyone who knew you. You were the greatest little brother and best friend I could have ever asked for. The house seems so empty without you, and will never feel the same now that you're gone. I miss you more than imaginable. I miss your kisses and the way it felt when I gave you big bear hugs. Mom, Dad and Mandy all miss you so much too and are so sad that your not with us in body anymore but know that your in all of our hearts. You are such a brave boy, thanks for hanging in there until I got home. I hope your not in pain anymore and are happy in your new home and not alone.
Say hi to Duffy for us, let him look out for you.
We will see each other again one day. I PROMISE. Love you with all my heart forever. xxooxxoo

Gillian MacGregor

Riley, we love and miss you forever until we come for you.
Rest in peace, baby girl, you are no longer in pain.
We will meet again one day.
All our love always, Mommy and Daddy

Riley will be missed more than words can say.
She was a wonderful dog. It's not going to be the same without you. I love you Riley.
Thank you for always being there for me.

Lynn Marsh

My poor baby, it has been close to four months since I dropped you off to that vet, I still cant believe you are gone. I thought you were going to be cared for. They said you would be watched, not left alone in a holding area left with a collar on for you to die such a horrible death. I am so sorry, I wish so much I would have said no and came to get you. I miss you Betsy, I cry every day for you Betsy. I love you so much, and I am ever so sorry. I dont think I will ever heal, and I will not give up on Betsys Law.
For you, and the justice of all kinds of pets that have to stay overnight under a vets care.
You will always have your paw prints on my heart. I wish you were here now to softly lick away my tears.
I pray you are romping around on the other side of The Rainbow Bridge. To all fellow pet lovers here, I am so sorry for your loss.

Madeleine Kayser

The first night we had Ringo, as a little puppy, she peed on my bed.
I didn't hold it aginst her.
She was one of the best dogs a family could have.
She's not hurting anymore and she's laying in the sun, cuddling with B-B, who was waiting for her at the bridge.

Tammy Bailey

In loving memory of Ringo. A friend to all. We love you Ringo and are praying for your family at this sad time. Run free in heaven Ringo, run free!

Mary

Our sweet baby boy dog Ringo gave us so much joy and love everyday.
We raised him like a child loving him to the fullest and he returned it 1000 times over. He loved to swim, fetch rocks, sticks, toys and show off everywhere we went.

We had to say good bye to our baby on Tuesday, April 15th and this was the hardest thing we have ever done.
I will forever feel this loss for he was FAMILY to us.
Please don't ever let anyone tell you that a dog is bad because of there breed....he was a pit bull that had more love to give then anyone I have ever known.
I LOVE YOU RINGO ALWAYS & FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen

Ringo was a wonderful addition to my life. I hadn't planned on getting a kitty but a tenant that I leased an apartment too couldn't keep him anymore so I was lucky enough to get him when he was about 3 months old. He was a frisky black and white domestic shorthair that loved to play, run around the house and be petted and loved.
He was the first real pet I had ever owned. I have had pets in the past, but Ringo was all mine and I loved him very very much.
Ringo got cancer about 3 weeks ago and stopped eating, playing and wasn't acting like himself. After a few visits to the vet, they figured out it was cancer, and it had spread to the liver. I choose to put him to sleep because I didn't want him to be in pain, and he was basically starving to death.
He will always be loved and always be in my heart. There will never be another RINGO!!!

Kendra Klaus

Our precious dog and loyal friend Ringo was sent to Rainbow heaven yesterday, there he joined his mate and companion who died of heart disease March 24th 2004 Daisy Mae. We loved them both very much and they both will be missed more than I can say, Ringo left behind Mollie Jo whom we welcomed into our home a few months after Daisy died this is going to be hard on our whole family but Ringo is in no pain now and I truly believe that he has a new body. For 11 1/2 years he was my baby he was so beautiful blonde in color and Daisy was a party color of red and white they had two beautiful litters of babies. Mollie Jo she is something else with her black curly coat with a little milk under her bottom lip, she will truly help us get thru this. Well any ways thanks for letting me post and paying tribute to my babies, thanks Ringo and Daisy for being the best friends ever. I love you both and miss you soooo much
Love your Mommy

Our everlasting love – Rinji and I
We first met 15 years ago, I was 10 and he was 40 days old. I was so small and I felt I loved animals very much, especially dogs. My parents didn’t want to adopt a puppy but I needed it desperately and I gathered enough money to buy one despite my parents’ prohibition. That’s how everything started… After a lot of searching I eventually found the litter of golden cocker spaniels that my heart belonged to. There were only three cockers left waiting for their caregivers, sleeping so peacefully… and then my little baby woke up and gave me a long look before he managed to stand up and made a few reeling moves to reach me. I took him in my arms and he fell asleep. I felt he was born to share his life with me and that was the happiest day in my life because I knew I have found the love I’ve been searching for. I named him after my favorite child-book hero – Rinji.
So I brought him home and he would cry every minute I left him alone. I couldn’t do this to him and I held him in my arms all the time. I took him in my bed every time he cried and I was very careful because he was so small and I was afraid I would hurt him. My parents didn’t allow him to sleep in my bed and tried to get him out of it whenever I fell asleep but he always started crying and immediately woke me up to get him back. A year later he was a grown up very strong cocker spaniel that would bite anyone that tried to take him away from my bed, my room and me myself. From that moment on no one could ever take him away from me and no one ever did. We grew up together and we learned to protect each other every single moment. Our home was our castle, our love was our power and our trust was our weapon.
Later on he felt very strong and he became extremely aggressive. He didn’t let anyone home but my parents and my best friends that he knew since he was a little baby. He didn’t like playing with other dogs because he wouldn’t leave me alone for a second. He loved playing with me and I used to throw him sticks when outside and a tennis ball, his favorite tennis ball, at home. After a long play he used to come to me for his favorite slobber. He would lie down on his back and I would fawn on his belly, he loved that so much. When my best friend once attended one of these moments she said “I can’t believe how loving could this “evil” outside dog can be and I just think that you are his only love”. And that was the truth. He would do everything for me and I believe that was the reason he became aggressive because he was afraid he could lose me and he tried to protect me in his own way. That is how we spent our 15 years together. I love him more than everything in my life and me myself… and so he did. That is true love, the love that you give and you give beyond borders and every time you look at his eyes he says “I love you” and you say it loud “I love you too”. And I will always love him, always!
I used to ask him: “Rinji, tell me who is the most beautiful dog in the world?!” and he would start barking :)
The last year of his life I felt we didn’t have much time together. I started sleeping restlessly, I had nightmares that he had been gone and I started waking up in tears. Every time I thought I could lose him my heart hurt. I have never felt such pain before. So I tried to spend all my time with him, I tried to do everything for him and give him all the love in the world. And I think I did. That is the only think that makes me calm. I think I couldn’t do more and I don’t think I will ever can. I wanted to make him feel so special and unique and I think I made it, I saw it in his eyes. In his last days I slept right next to him, holding him in my arms, holding his paw, watching at him knowing the time was coming and thanking god I had him. The last night he wouldn’t sleep and every time he moved I felt like my heart stopped for a while, it hurt so much. So I wouldn’t sleep as well. My father was out of town and in the morning I called him to come back home because I knew he would love to see him for a last time. My mother, my grandmother, my cousin and my boyfriend were at home but I asked them to go away because I wanted to spend my last day with him alone, just the two of us like the good old days.
The last few hours I just sit in front of him so that he could see me and I talked to him holding his paw. I told him everything that I feel. I was telling him our favorite stories together since we were both kids till the last day as grownups.
I tried to be calm because I didn’t want to torture him I knew he was also suffering. I told him how much I loved him and that I will miss him very much and I promised him that he will always be with me. He was staring at my eyes so lovingly and I could only hear him saying I love you, I love you, please don’t let me go… and so I said “Rinji, who is the most beautiful dog in the world?!” with a cheerful voice and he tried to stand up but he couldn’t and I just took him in my arms and cried. His eyes also looked like they were full of tears. Then my dad came back home, and my mom did. And we were the four of us just like the first day. So he looked at my father, my mother and then he turned his head to me and stretched his paw for me and I grabbed it. He looked at me with melting eyes and my heart stopped…. I knew he was saying good bye and couldn’t believe my eyes, he really did!
It’s been 22 days now since he’s been gone and I miss him soooo much!!! He was my brother, my child, my best friend, my everything and he still is. I have always thought that this could never happen to me, that we love each other so much that even God won’t separate us but unfortunately this is life and this is the first time I have to realize it. One thing is for sure everlasting though – my love for him. He will always hold the biggest part of my heart because I know who the most beautiful dog in the world is!

Rinji, my love, you are the most beautiful dog in the world!

I love you, I miss you, I kiss you!!!!!

Bilyana

Ringtail came to us a stray about 10 weeks old. He was a very pretty cat very special because he chose us to love and take care of him .

Bertie & Don Smith

My sweet baby angel girl.
You blessed my life from your first funny mew at 3 weeks old (the sound I named you after), all the way until now.
I'll never forget the first time I saw you, a tiny ball of fluff asleep on a bale of hay.
I'll never forget the last time I saw you, laying trustingly on my lap as the vet freed you from your body that was hurting you so.
You talked so often and so joyfully.
You loved bathrooms, especially bathtubs.
You loved to be outside even though you were a house kitty and only went out a handful of supervised times.
You tried to chase a moth even this last week of your life when you weren't feeling well, your barn kitty genes gave you a strong play drive.
Yet you were so gentle and sweet to the bunnies who lived with us, especially Gracie who you're now with at the Bridge.
You were the consummate lap kitty, you'd relax like a fluffy ragdoll on me, with a loud and seemingly endless purr, and your pink tongue sometimes sticking out slightly.
I loved your love blinks from your beautiful green eyes.
I loved your little black piggy toe.
I love how you always meowed a greeting and had whole conversations, even with Mickey and Jazz and Sebastian you'd meow at them.
I'm sorry about the car rides, I know you hated them from how you'd howl.
I'm especially sorry about this last one.
Thanks for sleeping on me this afternoon, I will treasure that forever, having your sweet little purring body on my chest one last time.
I loved how you used to put your "warm fuzzies" toys in your water bowl and pull them apart when you were younger.
You were so special, so unique, so utterly and wonderfully you.
I miss you terribly already even though you just left a couple hours ago.
I will love you for ever and ever, baby Ri.
Mommy loves you!!!!!!

I love you and miss you with all my heart,every day! Tell Kiwi and Tiki mommy loves them too. You were the best doggie ever and I will never forget you and what you meant to me and how you changed my life!!!

Joni

Rip my brave little boy, loving n loyal till the end

The hardest act is loves strongest act, letting go for the sake of another

For such a little boy you had a huge character and as a big a hole Im left with, another is full of the memories you leave

Rest in peace baby, its time now to be with Ben n Zack again.
Love n miss you allways, until we meet again xxxxxx

S Thompson

Our Dear Ripley,
You were a polite and gentle soul.
Never would think to inconvenience anyone.
You were soulful and beautiful.
A true wedding present for your mom and dad.
You gave us 14 wonderful, loving years.
We thank you and love you more than you know.
I hope you & Raja are having a wonderful time being together again.
Please make sure you welcome Moon when the time comes.
WE LOVE YOU, PO PO.
Mom and Dad

Ripley was very special to me; she was the brightest star in a dark sky.
She talked incessantly and now that she is dead, the house is silent without her.
She was pure white, with a blue eye and a gold eye.
Her nose and ears were very pink.
She demanded attention and she got it.
She died on Saturday, after a valiant battle with cancer, which was diagnosed in October 2007.
I buried her on Sunday at the pet cemetery which is a fitting tribute to a wonderful companion.
I shall miss her every day for the rest of my life.
I love you Ripley.

Linda Hastings

Dear Sweet Ripley,

You will forever be my co-pilot. There will never be another dog like you! You were the smartest, toughest, most harded-headed little cocker spaniel ever born, and having you in my life gave me so much joy. You helped me through the toughest times, and were always there to lick away my tears. I'm lost without you, and there's nobody to lick these tears away. Even toward the end, you fought so hard to be here, right up through your last day. I know the congestive heart failure made your days hard, and the bad days were outnumbering the good. You are at peace now, with your buddy Bo. Always in our hearts,
We miss you so much and we love you...Mom, Dad, Jack and Alex

You were part of our home and hearts for 15 years. Even though you were getting old, you still liked to play, and when tired you would curl up in the crook of my knees and sleep. You were bossy, hard-headed, and ran the show, and we were your willing servants. We loved you so much, and will miss you terribly. Until the day when we meet at the Rainbow Bridge, good-bye little girl - we love you.

Mary Triplette

Rissa, you were a sweet girl, always cuddling with Mommy. And your purr was so sweet, I miss you my sweet girl.

Claudia Schuster

In loving memory of "My One Eyed Girl".
I will miss you so much and wait to meet with you once again.
Your life was to short here on Earth, I had so much more that I wanted to live with you.

Julia

Rita was such a good dog. She was not only my best friend, but a part of our family for 8 years. She always gave me unconditional love no matter the situation. She was always there for me when I needed a friend. My love for her will never fade. She will be missed. I know I'll see her again.

Cristina Tovar-Rosales

River was very special to us--we found her at a roadside park when she was just a little pup.
She was starving and had parvo and demodex, but she survived to become a beloved member of our family and the alpha of our pack.
We miss our beautiful girl so much; just can't believe she's gone.
We'll always love you, Arv.

Nancy and Richard Rawls

In loving memory of our pal.
We will never forget the joy you gave us every day of your short life.
Mom and Dad love you forever.

My sweet boy--I wish for you a beautiful world with no pain.
I miss you so very much, my little one, but I will keep you in my heart.
It is hard for we humans to understand the non physical world, so please be patient with me as I try to feel close to you, even as I miss your lovely face greeting me every morning, and the tickle of your little feet.
I pray that we will be reunited in this lifetime, for I love you so very much.

Rattie angels, please be kind to my Rizzo.
Make sure that he feels welcome there, and has plenty of friends to play with.
And when he is ready, please help him to find me again, for I miss him so very much.

Heidi Fellner

To my baby boy,

You are my heart's greatest joy, the pain I feel right now is unbearable. The hole that is left in my heart, life and the lives of so many others, is one that can not be filled. Know that your big brown eyes, your polar bear paws, and the love you always had to give me so freely will never be forgotten. You had to leave me too soon and I am truly sorry, but I know you will be waiting for me.

Love Always and Forever,
Mommy

Roada was in our lives for only 1 year but she gave unconditional love and devotion in every way. She was my best buddy and friend. I will always cherish this gift that God gave to us and hope that he will let us see her again....

Phil Orton

To my darling, precious Cat, Robbie, I'll never forget all the wonderul snuggles we shared.
You were a special, special boy.
I loved you from the first time I held you as a tiny baby until you left me as I again held you in my arms and watched you slip away from me.
You were the BEST kitty of them all!

Linda Campbell

We'll miss our favorite 'couch potato'.
Forever in our hearts.

The Huber Family

Dear Robby,

You have been gone from our lives for 10 days now and I still miss you sooo much my Sweetie Boy! Things are just not the same without you. It feels lopsided without you and I miss you snuggling with me at night. I miss how you would entertain me with your shenanigans always bringing laughter and a smile. I miss giving you your chewy treat and how you would talk (bark)to me. You were not here with me near long enough and I get so angry sometimes that you are not here. Not angry with you, Sweetie Boy, just angry at the fact that you are not here. You know I never really got angry with you, I couldn't. I bought a Rainbow Bridge Tribute to you with your picture on it and I kiss you goodnight through the picture.
Robby, I thank God for you every day and thank you for choosing our family when you were lost. I am so thankful that you came to us and I did not miss the specialness of you! You have always been a joy to me!
I hope you are happy and well loved where you are and I look forward to the day when we can be reunited. I talk to God daily asking for Him to reunite us when it's my time and I know that it will be a joyous occasion when I see you romping through the fields barking your special bark as you come to me.

Give Mandy a kiss and a hug from me and tell her I am looking forward to being with her again. Ginger is doing well but misses you too. She misses her buddy to romp with in the backyard. We will be together again and it will be a joyous occasion I am sure!

I love you Sweetie Boy,
Mommy

Robert was given to us when he was 3 years old and since then he has watched me grow up from a school boy to a university student and to a fully grown man.

He was a good dog always greeted visitors and never showed hostility to any one, to me i think he was a special dog because he had the ability to change people when i say change i mean a person that never liked dogs ended up adopting two dogs for themselves after they've met Robert.

Rob would also bark at us each time when our family was in an dispute telling us to stop, he also made sure that we all woke up on time for work and school. There will be no more dogs after you Robert, i have fulfilled my role as a dog owner and I am happy to have been your owner. I cannot wait to see you again but until then hang tight and be good you are in good hands with god.

Love you always
Michael Ly

Robin, I can't even believe that you're gone.
I saw you online and came to the animal shelter to see you and your tuxedo coat, beautiful eyes, and black nose...always dressed up and such a lady!
You loved opening cabinets and doors (especially to the laundry room), using your scratching posts, watching "The Wizard of Oz," and demanding food (and usually eating it from everyone else's plate!).

Your were Baci's "Fancy Pants" and Eric's "Robbie," who loved to curl up on his chest and would only sleep in the bed he bought you.
You were a well-traveled cat and moved with me many times.
I will miss your cuddles, purrs, and eye-sniffing to wake me up in the morning.
Harry and Daisy miss you very much and keep sniffing your blanket and meowing.

I am so sorry that I couldn't help you more...you became ill so quickly and had trouble breathing and eating.
I just couldn't let anyone keep testing you while you stayed in the hospital, lost more weight, and couldn't breathe normally.
I wanted you to come home, but it wouldn't have been fair to you.
Please know that I didn't want you to be scared or suffer anymore, and that I hope you are now well, happy, and have everything you ever wanted.
I keep praying that God, Dziadzi, and Chester will take care of you and that you can open all the doors and cabinets in heaven.

We all miss you so much and can't imagine life without you.
Please check on us when you can and let us know that you are okay.
We love you!!!!!

Jackie, Eric, Harry, and Daisy

We all love you and miss you very much, especially your brother, Hershey Kiss.

Kathie, George Krajci & Hershey Kiss

My special friend - open the gates Onry is on her way.
Her time has come so we open our arms and send her to you.
I miss all of you and I know in my heart that you miss me too.
I hold a special place in my heart for each and every one of you and will keep you with me always.

You were truly my best friends !!

Lisa Bough

YOU UNCONDITIONAL GAVE ME SO MUCH HAPPINESS AND LOVE AND DON'T REGRET ONE MOMENT WITH YOU. YOU HELPED ME IN MY TIME OF PAIN AND I'M SO SORRY I COULD NOT GIVE YOU MORE. I HAVE LOST MY BEST FRIEND AND CAN'T WAIT TO REUNITE WITH YOU IN HEAVEN OVER THE RAINBOW

Louise

I LOST MY CLOSEST BUDDY AND FRIEND, WHO GAVE SO MUCH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. I MISS JUST RUBBING HIS HEAD AND CARESSING HIS EARS. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPLACE YOU. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART AND MIND.

Ryan

I miss you Rock with all my heart. My life seems empty now that I cannot share it with you. You were a wonderful dog and friend. I miss your kisses and cuddles.

Shannon

Rock was a special member of our family. He truly belonged to Gwen, but loved all of us. The bond between this cat and this child was so strong that it can never be replaced. Gwen deeply misses Rock sleeping in her bed and rubbing against her face in the morning. We wish that we could have prevented his death, and long to see him again someday.

Marysue, Brian, and Gwen

Thunder; We all miss you more than you can imagine. I will never forget the first time I held you when you were minutes old, and still wet from birth. You brought many years of happiness and laughter to all of us.

See you at Rainbow Bridge.
So long, till we see each other again, Momma's BIG boy
Love
Jen, Dena & John

We adopted Rocky in August and he was an amazing and special part of our lives.
The decision to put him down was the hardest of our lives and we miss him everyday.
Our lives are not the same and everyone in our house misses him in a different way.
I will never forget my snuggle puppy.

Erica Hunt

Rockey, your were a sweet heart. You were the most loving dog ever. I loved you so much. I will really miss you especially on those weekends when Ron is away and I am all alone. I was never lonely because you were always there. You provided me with a sense of security that I will never feel again. I will miss letting you out when I first get up. I will miss wiping your paws when you come in. I will miss coming home for lunch and having you here. I will miss giving you treats. I will miss playing hide and go seek with you. (We had so much fun) I will miss how you went crazy when Ron came home. I will miss petting your soft coat and rubbing you under your chin. I will miss your sad puppy dog eyes. I will miss you curling up in my bed especially on those cold winter nights. I will miss the way you would come lay next to me when I was doing my crunches on the floor. I will miss the way you would come lay your head on the arm of the recliner when you wanted something. I will miss the way you chased your tail when you were ready to go out. I will miss playing with the bears. (your toys) I will miss the way you would just sit and stare out of the window and out of the front door. I will miss the way you chased the squirrels. I will miss you tipping down the stairs and the noise you made when you jumped out of Ron's bed upstairs.
Most of all, I will just miss you being here. I love you Rockey and will never forget you. I wish someone could wipe the ache away from my heart. Thank you for brining us so much joy. Rest in peace baby.

Crystal McFerren

To our sweet girl,

Our hope is that you are at peace.
You are young and healthy and happy.
We hope we will be with you again someday.
You brought us great joy and love.
We can only wish we brought you the same.
You will remain a constant in our hearts.

We love you.

Peter and Susan Olsen

She made me laugh for 12 1/2 years, and she was a special friend. She didn't give up when her sister Bullwynkle died two years ago, and she was the reason I wanted to come home each day after a day of teaching.
I miss her...

Joan Pearlman

A LETTER TO MY BEST FRIEND
I sit and try to write the words, I want your heart to hear.
I Hope to find some comfort, but its hard since your not here.
I do believe with all my heart, that your soul has gone to be,
where theres no insulin, or scary seizures and you can hear and see.
me and mama have to stay behind, until God calls us too,
But dont be afraid my Lil man i will see you soon.
The water is still in the bowl you drank,and your babies are here which no one will take, in your bed lies alfie and our "b",

an empty spot on mommys bed remains where you should be.
One day my eyes will shut one last time,
and you will come greet me, fat boy of mine.
Until then, I'll keep trying to see through my tears,
with memories you gave us, to reflect through the years.
i'll never forget one minute we spent,
of loving and laughing, of places we went.

im scared baby boy the day that your scent disappears,

it's my "proof" to me, Rockie, that you were just here!
But one day will come, when we'll start to see through,
the pain of the goodbye, and remember just "you".
Now you go and play, and look down when you can,
remembering i love you, so much my lil man.

Stacey Novello

Gentle Jesus up above, give Rockie all my love.
my beautiful, kind, happy brother.
I can't beleive it's 4 years sice we lost you.
I know you're not "dead," you didn't die, you went on that journey over the rainbow bridge.
I'll see you soon there darling; there will be no more pain, and we'll cross the rainbw bridge hand in hand.
Lots of love, your sister, Vicky. xxx.

Vicky

To my beloved Rockie. You left me today without notice or warning. I found you. I picked you up and held you, although your body cold and lifeless. Did you know I did that? Did you know when I took you to the vet, I could not let go of you for over an hour? Did you know that? Did you know how much I loved you, my beloved friend? Did you know I had to go to a doctor's appointment that day, and that I didn't know you were going to leave me while I was away? The vet said you died in your sleep, and in no pain. What were you dreaming of before you went home? I hope you were dreaming of all the hugs, kisses, and fun you had with your family.
Did you know that no other dog will fill your place, EVER? Rest well. I will see you again!

Roberta Long

A letter written to my 18 months old daughter about her dog Rocky.

10/28/08

Dear, Isabella

I am writing you this letter to tell you about the greatest dog you ever knew his name is "Rocky"?. Mommy and Daddy got him when he was only three months old. At first your daddy didn't care for him much but mommy knew he had the heart to someday love him. The truth is I didn't know if we could have children and I thought Rocky was a good test. Boy was he ever your daddy and I came to know and love him like our first child he had a very good life he ate well he had the best toys and snacks a dog could ever want he even had his own bed ask your uncle Henry. He was the best dog because he loved everyone and always treated everyone like they must love him. Rocky used to love the park and chasing the ball. Your daddy and I used to take him all the time before you were born. We used to pay your cousin Brianna to watch him when we went on long trips ask her.
When you were born and we brought you home Rocky just wanted to smell you and when you started to walk he wanted to smell what food you had but he loved you he kissed your face repeatedly and your feet. You would laugh and giggle back when he tried to steal your food. You would look for him when you were in your high chair because you wanted to feed him and you would laugh as he tried to get the spaghetti from between your legs. You would grab his tail and use it to tickle your nose and lauph and then rocky would turn toward you and lik you face. You would hug and kiss him all the time that is when I knew you were going to be a caring empathetic human being and he loved and looked for you all the time. You would poke his ears mouth and eyes and even ride him like a horse. HE WAS A GREAT DOG BECAUSE HE LOVED YOU!!

When I would bring you home from somewhere and he was sleeping he would come into the room and smell for you and then leave the room to go rest. We tried to keep your Rocky dog alive for you but he was to sick mommy and daddy couldn't watch him live this way any more he was very overweight, tired and shaky and he was taking a lot of medication everyday that did not make him feel good. His seizures got really bad and we could not control them we could not see your Rocky dog living with the side effects of his seizures and the drugs we were putting in him it wasn't a life. I am so sorry baby!!!He is in peace and I hope you read this one day because this dog was a very big part of your first 18th months of life. He taught you how to Learn Laugh and Love others. I am so sorry baby that we couldn't keep him alive for you but his quality of life had to come first. He left this world sleeping very peacefully right at home. He will always be your little Rocky dog up in heaven looking down at you and I hope you will someday experience the love we have for him in another dog.

Love

Mommy and Daddy

we'll miss you little buddy!!

Shelly

Our Rocky Dog we will love you always I am so sorry we could not help you. You are now seizure free "scooby"!! We love u and miss you so much already we have huge holes in our hearts!!!

Kathy Fernando Isabella

Rocky Balboa I didn't know of this website when we had to put you to sleep. I want you to know that we still love you so much and we still miss you. You were such a fighter you survived parvo and then you got cancer at only 14 months of age. You were a great dog and we are so happy that we got to know and love you. I can't wait to see you at the Rainbow Bridge. Your brother Hunky just joined you there so I know that both of my furbabies are waiting for me there. Your whole family LOVES AND MISSES YOU. We will see you again.

Karen

Rocky,
Even though we are miles away, you are and always will be in our thoughts....Have fun with Willy, Sapphire, Missy and Callie.
Love,
Cathy, Simba and Piper

My Dear Little Rocky..you are no longer suffering with the cancer and now in Heaven with your buddy Stan -my departed husband -who picked you out from the litter of kittens (from Mama Kat).You are so loved

Diane Singleton

I WILL LOOK TO MY HEART TO FIND YOU LITTLE BUDDY BECAUSE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE

Mark P. Bosanac

To the best birthday present I have ever received. No other dog I have come across had the personality or the intelligence that he had. Looking into his greenish-brown eyes made every day better. May he rest in peace and greatfully never have to suffer again. I thank God that he let me have such a beautiful being to call our own. With all of our love, our beautiful baby Rocky. Mommy and Daddy <3 R.I.P.

Rocky was the most loving, trusting, caring dog we have ever meet.He was like our child. Today something is missing in my life & thats my Best Friend My Dog Rocky The Rainbow Bridge brings me and irene comfort, Hoping this will come true

Robert & Irene Napolitano

Rocky, I/we miss you so much.
You were so smart and so lovable and
I miss rubbing my fingers in your soft, beautiful fur.
You filled our hearts with so much love.
You were mine faithful and true to the last beat of your heart.

We will see you and Smokey someday.
You are now in a better place.
There is no death......only the beginning of a new life in God's Kingdom.

Kathy Cangialosi

Rocky was our beloved friend. He was the life and soul of the party for over eight years, since he was rescued from a shelter. Rocky taught me that ALL animals have a soul, no one could honestly look into his eyes and not feel the tenderness and love that he shared with the world. Rocky was the cat that nobody wanted, he was the small one of a litter and he was left behind. Those that did so did not know what they missed.

Rocky was unique, he was the only cat that we have ever met that could actually talk!!! I kid you not, this guy could ask for his favourite treat by making the sound "ham" when he wanted just that! He could also make several other sounds, he was a unique, special member of our family and he is sorely missed.

Rocky died after he went out one night doing the thing he loved most, prowling in the dark and checking out "his" teritory. Unfortunately, a speeding motorist left him for dead on a dark, quite, country road that hardly sees any traffic. Mercifully, his death was instant. We know that Rocky is now over Rainbow Bridge, waiting patiently for that day when we go for a walk together...

Rest in peace my beautiful friend. You were my beloved son, our one true angel of love. We will miss you always, ...now go check out your new teritory, and hang in there until we can catch up with you buddy!!

Patrick, Audrey & Roxanne

You were a kiss in the wind. The gentlest, most sweetest little dog I could have ever wished for.
It was my privilege to have shared my life with yours.
God must have really thought that I was special when he gifted me with your love.
I will never forget the wag of your tail, your wanting stares, and kisses of contentment.
Truly it was I, that was the lucky dog.
Loving you forever and a day, your Mommy.

No words can truly describe Rocky. He was an incredible dog who stole peanut butter sandwiches and who decided when he was to get treats. He kept peace and happiness in our home. Rocky was massive and protective, but had the biggest heart of any dog that I have known. He cared for and watched out for my family and other animals. He will be missed terribly, but I know that he is with the rest of my family somewhere, probably getting way too many treats and trying to meet everyone to make sure they are okay. We all miss you and love you and can't wait to see you again some day.

"Rocky the wrinkle dog, was as wrinkly as he could be, with a big fat face and a curly tail, and two eyes you could barely see..."

Alison, John, and Jessica Neely

Rocky, you provided us the friendship, companionship and love that we will so dearly miss.
You will always be special to us and we will miss you dearly.

Deb St.Marie

You were my closest friend, loyal companion, and supervisor. You were my Crocker, Crockett, Mr. Boy, Rocket J, Fuzzit, Rocker, Rocko, Big Sweet Boy, BSB, Toe Monster.
You were so smart, a pleaser, and you learned very quickly.
You always remained close to me, and you had a quirky little sense of humor, lying on your back with your teeth showing, and your tail wagging!
I will always love you--you were one of the great loves of my life, and I'll always remember you.
Grapenut shared humans with you, Chadsworth adored you, and Kojo and Tito treated you like their mother!

Rest in peace, my beautiful, loving boy.
Your spirit will always be with me.

Jane Weaver

ROCK, THERE JUST WASN'T ENOUGH TIME WITH YOU.
YOU WERE LOYAL AND ATTENTIVE.
AND IN YOUR OWN WAY VERY LOVING.
YOU WERE DEALT A WRONG
BLOW AND GOD KNOWS IT.

I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER AND MISS YOU EVERY DAY.
I HOPE GOD BLESSES ME AND ALLOWS YOU TO BE WAITING FOR ME
WITH THE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WE
WERE BLESSED.

Al Cerone

I still can't believe I let you go. I could have been selfish and kept you around longer. I didn't want to do that to you. You suffered with diabetes and your eyesight was going. You slept in the laundry basket all day and that's not living. I'll miss you at night at the foot of my bed. Trixie is lonely and wonders where you are. You came when I called you and showed so much affection. You were a true family member. You are gone, but definitely not forgotten.

Linda Leone

i miss you rocky, you were my best friend. i miss you and even though it has been a week, it feels as if it was just today that you left us. i hope heaven is big enough for you to run around in. i will see you soon

craig

a cat killed her she managed to break the locks on her cage we will all miss her

The Clarence Family

You brought so much joy and love to all of us, Thankyou.

Barbara Coniglio

Rocky came to us Christmas Day, 2006, he was such a gift!
And a wonderful surprise.
We learned so much from him.
Most importantly how precious life is.
We miss you so much puppy.
I promise not to sweat the small stuff, and to not let others stress affect my decisions.
I am so sorry Rocky, Mommy loves you.



Rocky was a loving and loyal dog.
He gave us comfort during difficult times.
He showed his love to each of us and to all family members who visited.
He was brave right up until the end.
He endured his pain and continued to sit by our sides wherever we were in our home.

His ashes will be spread by his tree in our back yard and by St. Francis of Assisi.

He is and always will be forever in our hearts.

Adela Solis

Rocky
It has been only few months since you passed on to the bridge and i miss you dearly honny. You are and will forever be my bestfriend and i will always love you so dearly. I wish you could be here with me right now, that is what i want more then anything right now just to see you again. I know God will reunite us one day, i love you so much and i will never forget you and your gentle touch when you passed on baby you took a piece of my heart and spirit that will be forever with you until we meet again

I love you so much.

Alyssa Hetem

Rocky was a wonderful, gorgeous, silver gray Maine Coon kitty.
He had been a diabetic since 2001.
We have to thank our vet, Dr. Jaime Krauter and his staff at Hackensack Animal Hospital for their care and love and for their providing hotel accomodations to Rocky over the years.
We would also like to thank the folk at Oradell Animal Hospital in Paramus NJ, who made Rocky's trip across the Rainbow Bridge as smooth as it could be.
Rocky was truly a beautiful and super cat.
Rocky will live in our hearts forever.
Safe trip, dear boy, and say hi to Maxwell, Nussi and Wee Brandi.
We love you all.
God bless you and keep you.

Lynn and Jim Hogan

Rocky,

I can't begin to tell you how much I miss you. I my heart aches so much for you. I miss your kisses and your pacing, waking me up at 5:30 every morning, all of those crazy things you did.I am glad you don't have to suffer anymore with the seizures. I know you are in heaven and will meet me someday when I join you.

I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!

Liz Szychowicz

I miss you so much my little guy.
I never thought you would be gone so soon.
You were such a sweet boy. You are forever in my heart and thoughts.
I love you, Mom.

More then pet he loved by all that came in touch with him. Rocky loved small cats and children. He was dying with parvo when I found him in the shelter he was litteraly a butter ball smelly and weak. Everyone thought I was crazy but with a great vet and time he was cured and grew into a 100 pound beast that always had the heart of a puppy.
He was loved and loved his family. He died peacefully in my arms on 6.27.08 at 5:15

Nothing loved is ever lost, and he was loved so much.

Dennis Evans

You were a great dog. We love you and will never forget you. We will remember all the great memories. We will miss you always.

Lorie and Sam

Rocky Raccoon, I miss you SO much!!! You were born in our house and grew up there. I remember when we used to play hide and seek, and how you would always hide under the bed with your hind end sticking out, how you loved angel food cake, and would sit up and beg, and shake paws like a dog for it, how you would wake everyone up promptly at 6 am with a big HELLO? as if everyone should know it was time to get up and feed you! I will always miss you, my best friend!

Stephanie Olin

Rocky,You were our first dwarf hamster. There will never be another as special as you. We miss you very much. I will never forget you getting lost in the duct work of the house but you survived..(thank you Tyler for finding him) you were a tough little guy. And the cutest hamster I have ever seen. I hope you and Rambo find each other there and become friends.
We love you Rocky.
Anita, Robert, Starr and Tyler

My Rocky baby puppy dog was the best dog ever. Always so kind and gentle,and very intelligent. He was always excited to greet you at the door whenever you came home. He was very protective of his family and loved them very much. He was an old dog, he lived a long happy life and is definitely in a better place now. He was still taken too young, he made so many people happy on this earth. He was our dog, but he was also considered a part of the family by our friends and loved ones. So many people are grieving the loss of Rocky, he will definitely be missed. We love you Rocky..always will. You're my puppy baby.

Ashley F

Rocky was my best friend for 14 years, and I will be lost without him.

You are the best dog ever and were such an important part of my life. I love you. I have never been this sad in my entire life

Gina Sibley

An amazing and loving dog with a beatiful spirit.
He was a model for the American Eskimo dog calander for many years.
Rocky brought joy and light to all those around him.

Alisa & Kevin

To my angel.

I think about you every day. I wish I could see you and hold you again but I know you were tired and you're sleeping now. I would've given anything to give you more time but I had to let you go, you were ready. I love you with all my heart and I miss you so much. I only hope that you knew how much you meant to me.

Sleep in peace my angel.

Leah

This was truly a Golden Dog.
He was an athlete: a swimming, house boating, frisbee, ball chasing, squeek toy chewing, rock hauling, fort digging, mountain hiking, fishing buddy big headed kind of dog.

He was loving: a gentle 105 giant with the new puppy, a godfather to all the neighborhood dogs, a proud stoic philosophical zen master to all who would listen, and he gave us all his unconditional blubbering, spittled love.

He never complained:
joints were aching, tumors and various injuries slowed him down, but he never cried, yelped or let out a peep, even when a toe nail was ripped out at the root.

He touched many lives in his 16.5 years,and we will miss him every day of our lives until we see him again.
Get some decent rest Rock-son...you've earned it.

Mary Forbes, Tim and Inga too

Rocky was my first Sheltie. I couldn't have asked for a better dog. He was so loyal,obedient, loving and intelligent. God let me have him for almost 16 years. [2 and a half weeks shy of his 16th birthday] He enjoyed taking naps with me on my king size bed. Rocky loved to sing with my husband. He would put his long snout straight up in the air and make beautiful music. He was small in stature. About 14 inches and weighed 17 pounds.
There were many times when we would be out on a walk and people would stop and admire his beauty.
He was my shadow. Always following me around the house and loved to go for rides and visit people.
When my Mother was in the nursing home Rocky would go with me to visit and ended up making friends with all the residents on Mom's wing. The nurses called him the Therapy Dog.
I will miss you my special friend. Your paw prints are forever on my heart.

Brenda Krueger

Mommy misses you Rocky. You were my baby and I will always love you!

Such a little friend, with such a big heart. He gave us so much joy in the short time that he was with us. He will remain in our hearts forever.

Gregg Chambers

Rocky was a gentle giant. He loved children, he loved everyone. He had a sense of humour and a sense of fun.
He was a constant companion and made friends wherever he went. There will never be another dog like Rocky. Rest in peace my beautiful boy, the pain is gone now.

Jodie Buckland

We adopted Rocky 8 years ago.
He was somewhere between 3-5 years old.
He immediatley started kissing my sons face, wagging his cute curly tail.
He was a special pug.
Loving, funny, sweet and gentle to everyone.
He was an extraordinalrily large pug, the vet said he had never seen one so large.
We called him "gigantipug".
He loved to eat.
He became a real football fan with the family.
He got touchdown treats and would dance around whenever someone yelled "touchdown".
We will never forget this special member of our family.
We all miss him so much already.
His little brother pug is also sad.
But we all know how lucky we were to have him.
It is so hard, since he became ill so fast, it is hard to deal with.
Goodbye to our sweet "rocka-dude".
We will never forget you.

Diane Babin-Pauley, John Pauley, Jared Babin

Rocky was the best dog. He had a brain tumor that was causing him to have seizures. He starting slipping away from me fast and I was faced with the difficult decision of helping him go. I will forever hear the jingling of his dogtags as he came to greet me at the door, and his head in my lap staring up at me with those loving brown eyes. He will always be the dog that I will compare the rest of my future pets to. I love you friend, and I miss you with all my heart.

Kristen Work

Rocky,

Thank you for being my most loyal and faithful friend for 11 years. I will miss you very much.
You will remain in my heart forever.

Pamela L. Scott

Rocky was a beautiful dark brown labrador and pitbull mix. He had a white marking on his chest shaped like a cross. He was like a savior to me at a very rough time in my life. He stayed my most loyal friend throughout his few years in my life. There was never another animal in my life that showed so much love as Rocky. I will miss him more than words can say.

Kristen Work

The Little Black Dog

I remember very clearly, the day we headed out in the car, on the trip to the Detroit airport.
I was so excited!
This was the day my long awaited Portuguese Water Dog was arriving from Colorado.
Hence, the name "Rocky" was given to the furry little bundle we picked up at the cargo bay in the airport.
He was huddled at the back of the crate in which he arrived, but it didn't take much coaxing to get him to come out.
Michael and I had prepared the back of our car for the 2 and half hour drive home.
We put Rocky's crate in the car and set him on the bed of blankets we had made up for him.
He waited about 20 minutes into the trip, then peed all over the blankets!
It should be noted that he was almost house trained when we got him, and soon we would learn to know the "look", which meant, let me out!
He never would make much noise about anything so it was hard to tell what was going on in that little head.
His puppyhood was rather exceptional, in that he developed a strange problem with a constant jerking motion of his front legs, while his head would jut forward.
We tried many different ways of finding out what was causing this problem, but never did get a definitive answer.
At about the age of three, the jerking seemed to disappear.
Rocky was always stoic about it all.
Aside from this he was a normal, happy guy.
He learned many tricks, such as roll over, play dead, sit up, etc.
The funniest
thing was when he was getting a treat, you would ask him "What are you going to do?"
He would launch into a hilarious routine, or rather schmozzle, of a mixture of all these tricks.
But the best and funniest of all, was "the DANCE"!!!!!!
He would spin around in circles on his back legs, and sometimes even do it in reverse.
Hilarious!
Rocky was a great adapter.
He went through many changes
in his life.
He was always happy to settle down almost anywhere, as long as Mom was there.
He was extremely polite, and accomodating.
Of course he was a wonderful companion, buddy, and always happy.
Even when things weren't going great.
Rocky was always there with tail wagging, and bright eyes.
His 15 years of life in this dimension gave me reason to go on, many times when I wondered if I could.
About 3 years ago, Clayton came into our lives.
He and Rocky became good friends, often sharing food.........well Rocky actually just liked to eat cat food!
A number of months ago, Rocky moved in with my sister Leslie,her husband Don and son Cole.
He was there for a couple months, and they formed a strong bond.
He developed some health problems which progressed in the coming months, after coming home. There was a large lump in his stomach, and he was losing weight rapidly.
This week, I just needed to know whether or not he was suffering or in pain at all.
The sad news from the vet was that he had a large tumor on his liver, and probably only had a couple of weeks to live
I was devastated, even though I didn't think the prognosis was going to be good.
Only 2 days later, Rocky lapsed into a serious shutdown.
Yesterday, he was anxious, disoriented, and not connecting.
As the day wore on into night he became more and more ill.
Things were far past the point of recovery, and he was obviously in pain.
I made the decision that I could not justify letting him go on this way.
He wagged his tail when I spoke to him, and even managed to eat a couple of Timbits, which Audrey brought over for him.
He was fighting it right to the end.
I held him in my arms and told him I loved him, and that he was the best dog ever, and that we'd be back together one day. Rocky left the world peacefully at 2:30 this afternoon.
The few things I've mentioned don't begin to cover Rocky's life.
It was a good, long life.
I will miss him.
He is at peace now.
I'll never forget him.
Rest in Peace Rockmeister.

Bobbie

Our sweet, special, beautiful boy, we were very lucky to have you with us for 13 short but wonderful years. You filled our lives with abundant love, joy and laughter. You never failed to console us when we were sick or sad. You are loved by many and will be cherished always.
I miss you more than words can express. Take long snuggle naps, share lunches and play snow wolf with the angels my apple blossom.

Chrissy Heyn

We're letting Rocky go home today.
He's been a faithful friend and a wonderful horse for so many years.
He's tired now, finally completely blind and ready to move on.
So we have no choice but to ease his way home.
Many tears will we shed because we have loved him so well.
Be we cannot be selfish - there's a time for everything under the sun, and Rocky has shown us his time is come.
God bless you, sweet friend.
We will see you again.

Lori Wilson

Your time on earth with us was way too short, buddy.
We will miss you so much.

And the bed will never be as warm without you there to test the pillows for us.
You made us so happy, we will never forget how you made us laugh!
We love you so much.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Brian Bonic

I miss you so much.
I do not know how I am going to carry on without you.
I lost
my best friend.
I want you to know Rocky, how much you are loved.
You will forever be engraved into my heart.
Please don't forget me because when it it my turn to leave this earth I will come calling for you.
I want you to know how sorry I
am - I never said good-bye, but I honestly thought you were coming home.
I am glad Joseph was with you when you took your last breath.
He too misses & loves you so much.
Give Uncle John a big lick for all of us and stay close.
Until we are together again baby.
Mommy loves you and holds you close!

I am glad that you are with my sister Sandra and my Dad and all the grandparents because they all loved Boxers and you will fit right in with all of the other dogs we have loved and known.

Big guy, I miss you more than you will ever know. It has been nearly two years now and I still cry!
Your little Chihuahua friend, Paco, also misses you very much.

I loved you from the moment I rescued you and I will always love you,my dearest and closest friend!

I miss you a lot but I know that you are in a really good place and someday, I hope to see you again!

I will continue to light the Jahrzeit candle and to pray for you and to ask other people of ALL Faiths to pray for you also. I want to make SURE that you are well-cared for wherever you are and that you are happy. And that you know that you are loved beyond measure, big happy, wonderful adorable dog!

It's been nearly two years now and it still hurts like it was yesterday. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and wonder what we would be doing if you were still with me.

It was such a great experience and so much joy being honored with you as my K9 companion. I love you so very,very much.

Helene R Schmidt

Rock was a loving companion and faithful friend who will not be forgotten. To wake up and not have the comfort of his presence was heartbreaking this morning, but I know that "my boy" is no longer suffering. He taught me alot in his short time here about sharing and caring, but I never realized that the right thing to do is not always the easiest,till yesterday,when I decided to end his pain after exhausting all the alternatives. I will never forget him.

Dear Rocky our sweet boy.
Daddy, Mommy, and Ginger miss you terribly.
Our love go with you to the Rainbow Bridge where we can all be together again.
We are thankful that your cancer pain and discomfort has ended.
You were a strong boy for 3-years fighting your disease.
I am proud to call you my son.
Please rest sweetheart,

Phil & Dawn Carstensen

To a brave and loving companion that endured more than his share of illnesses.Cancer is a horrible disease, not just for people. You know when you have the perfect pet and he was mine. He understood me and never, never did anything wrong. He was powerful; but never put his claws out on anyone. He was a gentle soul and I miss him with all of my being.

Bonny Caruso

Rocky was not only my beloved pet, he was also my service animal.
He was a seizure alert dog.
He was my best friend and companion , as well as protector.
He went everywhere that I went.
There is a big hole in my heart that only he can fill.
The house is empty without him and I lost a bit piece of me when he left.
He was happy all the time even right before his death he was wagging his tail and wanting to play.
Rocky you are the best and I dont know how I will continue living without you.

Theresa Chick

We miss you dearly and will carry you in our hearts always. Welook forward to playing together forever at Rainbow Bridge. Love always Mummy, Daddy and Liam.

My best buddy, tiny little shoulders so big when I was sad, short little legs ran so fast to catch me.
Great for my diet, when I was in the frig, look down so was he reminding me "oh, just looking, right". He touched so many hearts making everyone smile & laugh. He will always be missed & loved.

Nanette Justus

Rocky, you will be missed always. Thank you for your sweet devotion and persevering spirit. You have been a wonderful friend and I hope you know how much you were and always will be loved. I am so thankful that we were able to spend your last day together. Please know that we made the decision to end your suffering out of love and that it was one of the toughest things we have ever had to do. Please know I will never forget you. Goodbye my sweet, sweet friend. You were our son.

Rocky was hit by a car and passed away within 1/2 an hour. I had him since he was 5 weeks old.I love and miss him so much and I would give my own life to have him back.

Jennifer

He was a good guinea pig that I loved very much and knew he loved me. I am glad he is in heaven with God and being taken good care of. I just wanted to say I loved him very much.

Samantha Stivers

Rocky just passed today, Lymphoma took him from us as bone cancer took our beloved six pac,
We loved our Rocky and will miss him horribly, but the suffering is done.
Rocky, we will meet you at the bridge sooner than you think.
We love you,
Mom & Dad.

Rocky was a happy out going dog. He loved going for walks, loved swimming, playing ball, going for truck rides and hiding his bones instead of eating them. Our family will dealy miss Rocky, he brought great joy to all of us for 12.5 plus ,plus, plus years he was with us.
One thing I will miss is waking up each moring and seeing his brown eyes coming to greet me.
I love you Rocky and I will never for get you.

Betsy and Shelbi Walker

My dear Roger passed away suddenly on November 25 2008.
At only 4 years of age and seemingly in perfect health, he collapsed and died within minutes, after suffering a heart attack.
I only had time to see him take his last breath. I hope he knew I was with him. It is hard to believe he is gone - he was the most loyal,loving and devoted dog. I will miss him always.

Katherine

Roger was the alpha dog of our pack.
He is the only dog I have met who would go out in a rain storm and bark at the lightning and thunder.
He was playful. He loved to eat vegetables, especially carrots.
He was having pain in his back and it became uncontrollable with medication or shots; he partially lost the use of his back legs and control of his bowels and bladder.
He could no longer go for walks.
The day we put him down he had a series of seizures.
I held him tight and promised him that if we could not fix him, we would let him go.
I will miss him forever.

Ana M. Alonso

I was blessed with you for 16 years and almost 7 months but they were not nearly enough time.
My heart aches with missing you and I pray for you daily with tears running down my face.
You were and always will be my one and only baby.
I miss you more than words can ever express.
I will patiently wait until we can be reunited again, never to be separated.

Lynette Purciello

Gooter,
You'd be surprised how empty this house feels with 4 people living here....you are are already deeply missed.

Love,
Alyssia, Jon-Paul, Jack, and Rocky

Rogie.
Mom and Dad will always remember and love you.
We hope you are in a better place.

Jack and Kristin

DEAR BANDER BEAR- my life is forever changed because you were my soul mate- my best friend in all the world. you were so young and I am forever greatful that God sent you to me. We made so many amazing memories that I will carry with me deep in my heart.
You touched so many lives and were so kind to everyone you met.
thank you for always loving me, crying with me, being silly with me but mostly for being the greatest happiness I have ever known. My heart is broken into a billion pieces and I dont know how I will ever get through the rest of this life without you right next to me.
Noone will ever know the deep grief that I feel. Yseterday was the worst day of my life by far. We shared something I will never understand and always cherish in the deepest part of me.
You were my other half and I love you in a way that I iwll never love another human or creature ever again.
please watch over us in the treehouse and know that for anytime I ever made you sad, I am soooo sorry. I love you much Roguey. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox mommy

The Kindest, gentlest cat in the world.
You showed up at the zoo gates just before closing in a December snowstorm, and you and I rode home in a car that blew it's engine, but I still had you. Since then, you were the "Boneless" cat that anyone could pick up and cuddle.
Your quiet dignity ruled the roost - you were always the first cat under the tree, on the presents, and always the last up bed kneading the covers.
The last few months of your presence, you tolerated fluids, nasty meds, and yet you still purred, and wanted to be with us.
You were so many people's favorite!

We just could not see you suffer in dignity - you had lost too much weight and did not eat - but yet, you purred.

Now, you are with our other fur friends and our family that I am sure are spoiling you rotten.

My Rohrschak, is a little black cat that -
Likes to hang a round, Rohrshack Baby..

See you on the other side, my friend.
In the meantime, take care of everyone over there for us.

We Love You...

Sue and John, Squirk, Shroedinger, Gulliver, Grommit, Milliken and Ms. B.

Mary T

Rolly was a bright vibrant yellow Canary aka the Yellow Alien. He was adopted from Grey Haven Bird Sanctuary in March of 2008.
For the short time he was with us he brought so much life.
His song was beautiful and his little chirps will be missed.
He had the biggest personallity for such a little guy. He loved food.
He also loved to hide and sleep in the strangest places. He would sing along to the music if he liked it.
I miss him so much. The mornings are very quiet without his presence. Rolly is also missed by Theodore his best budgie friend and Raptor and Dito the tiels. He will also be missed by all his bird friends and human aunts and uncles.
We will love you always.

Dawn Holt

To a great family companion, protector and confidant.
Your high energy and spirit will be missed by us.
You have brought such joy and entertainment with your antics, play and overall zest for life.

You came to us as a tiny puppy.
You grew into our hearts over the years and were a part of our lives.
You provided companionship for our human children and taugh them how to care and respect for other living things.
In life and in death, now you have taught our children and us how to mourn the loss of a good friend.
You are so much more than just a dog.

Your spirit shall endure as we recall our memories of you running in the yard, playing with your step Brittany, Snickers and trying to sneak food off of the table when nobody was looking.
You were rowdy and sometimes a real handfull.
I regret if I was ever cross with you when correcting you sometimes rowdy ways.
I truly miss you my canine friend.
My heart is empty but it is my privilege and honor to have you occupy almost 11 years of my life.

We will mourn and life will go on.
I will remember you as a good dog with a big heart.
Hopefully I will have a chance to start a new with another dog.
You won't be replaced but I will try to be the best owner and master that I can from what I learned on our journey together.

You are one of God's creatures and I enjoyed having you in my care. Peace.

Mark, Rosanne, Emily and Christopher Stoltz

we hope you are getting better and not suffering anymore, we love and miss you so much, in our hearts forever x x x

Kayleigh Wyer

Our beloved Roman has left this earth. He's now our guardian angel.

Pamela Weltzien

Roman was very special to me.
Not only to me but everyone he met.
He was a pet therapy dog at Mercy Medical and always made the patients feel better.
He had a heart of gold and a way of making you fall in love with him.
Roman was my best friend, perhaps one of the best friends I've ever had.
He meant so much to me because he was there for me whenever I needed him.
I don't yet know why he had to go or what I will do without him around.
Cherish the time you have with your pet, as Roman went way before his time.
I'll meet you at the bridge one day little buddy.
Wait for me there and know that I love you so much and you will always be in my heart.
You will always be my buddy.

Shandi

Until then...

From where I sit I shed a tear, wishing somehow, that you were near.

So I close my eyes and think of you and in just one moment you step into view. Now you're not here for me to touch. my memories are precious and mean so much.

I have no doubt that you are safe, for oyu have moved to a brighter place. You'll be welcomed with open arms and all around will be a loving calm. There is even a seat reserved for you, reward, for the love you gave and the life you knew.

I know someday I'll see you again, I'll think of you often, rest until then...

Amanda Higley

Roman was the sweetest puppy and there is a huge hole in my heart with him gone. When we first got Roman, my children were little and their favorite book was, Never Tease a Weasel, (because a weasel will not like it, and teasing isn't nice). So, when we got Roman, I didn't want them to tease him, so we taught them to treat him with kindness and gentleness. They nicknamed him weasel, and it stuck. My husband would walk in the door from work and say, come on wease, and he would jump up and wag his little nubby. He was a very beloved boy and will be missed.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my grief.

Maureen Ellis

My Dear Puss-Puss.

Always in My Heart and Never Forgotten, You are always with me Puss Cat.
Miss & Love You Always

Lesley

We were truly blessed to have you, Romeo, as a member of our family for over 14 years.
You stole our hearts from the moment we brought you home to live with us.
You were a one-of-a-kind and will be missed and loved forever!

Lisa, Tara, Kayli, Noah

They say we rescue those flying hounds...but really, they rescue us.
They work their way into our homes and hearts and we think our heart will break when they must leave us.
They are truly in a better place now.
My Romeo....I miss you so.
You are loved and missed beyond belief.
Until we meet again.
Love, Mommy

We miss you nearly.

Deborah

Romeo died in our arms at home after a brave struggle with liver cancer.
Despite his illness, the light never left his beautiful green eyes and the shine never left his soft fur.
Heartfelt thanks to out to our vet for making Romeo's death painless, and to the pet funeral service for their kind and personal support.
We miss him terribly but are lucky to have his twin brother still with us.
We love you Romeo and will never forget you.
We'll see you on the other side of the Bridge.

Peggy and Monty Cabe

YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND,,,,,,,I MISS YOU,,

Stuart Lazar

Romeo came to me the day he was born with his twin sister.
As soon as I found him, I called a vet who told me there was a 90% chance he would not make it through the night.
Well, he made it and proved love really does conquer all.
I had just short of 9 years with my little guy and everyday I am thankful for the love and affection he showed me in return.
God rest his soul and bring him peace.

Romeo - I love you.

Kristine Lee Kipphut Darmohray

You will always be in our hearts! Love and miss u!

James Christakos

Romeo, You are soooo loved! You be missed by many. You brought so many smiles to so many faces!

The King of Cairn Terriers- Monnys little Man,

Lisa and Dan Sabatello

My very special boy who had Mommy's heart in his little paw. He loved to play with his squeeky ball and cuddle with Mommy. I only wish I could have loved him longer. Despite the short time in my life, I am blessed to have had him. He was such a special boy and will be missed more than I can understand right now. Its been almost a month and I still can not think of him without getting teary. I feel as if I have been cheated out of a very special part of life in only being able to have him for 4 months. I can only hope that he loved me as mch as I loved him and he had the best life he could have no matter how short it was. I love you my sweet boy and will be with you someday again.

Amanda Urbany

My baby, my best friend, my sweetie, my little lover, my Romy. I needed you as much as you needed me. I know I told you over and over how much I loved you. And I always will. I love you so much. My heart is so empty without you. I miss you so much. You were always such a good girl. And so smart...you understood everything I said to you. I miss your perrps for chin scratches, the towel game, sleeping at my head. You are the most wonderful kitten in Heaven. Please remember what I told you...we will be together again. Wait for me at Rainbow Bridge...you are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.

Eva Fugerer

"My Wonderful Rommel"

He lived his life to the fullest. Forever watchful, forever a friend. Never to tired to welcome you, nor to busy to show you in so many ways how much he loved you. Freed from his "Earthly Bounds" March 19,2008. I will miss him greatly....

Bruce Becker

I held you in my hands the minute you were born, I chose you above the other 5, when I cut all their nails they yelped and struggled but you just sat quite still, you trusted me and I snipped to far, i felt terrible but you just licked my face and I knew you were sent for me.
We both suffered at the hands of others and we couldnt protect each other but neither could our bond b severed.
We loved each other unconditionally and trusted implicitly.
I want you to know that at times you were my only friend and you waited until I was happy again, that's y I repaid the honor.
You fell asleep in my arms and altho u couldnt hear me cry, I hope you knew what I was feeling, I love you my dear friend and I will miss u forever.
Goodbye Rommel, I love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nicci Shaw

Rommel -

You were and are the light of my life.
I miss you so much already.
I know we will be reunited in the future and I look forward to seeing your kind, gentle eye and wagging nub.

I love You !!!!

Rest in Peace Roo Roo Bear!!!!

Sue Budnick

My Rommel is without a doubt the best friend that I have ever had. He stood with me through some of the hardest times of my life. I will miss my friend so very, very much. Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your life.

Mark High

although our time together was way too brief it is definately to have loved and lost than to not love at all. you became my boy and i will always be so thankful for your love

After over 20 years I will not only miss my best friend but the only soul mate I ever had.

Saying goodbye to the Roo Dog:
http://nigelparry.com/saying-goodbye-to-the-roo-dog/

Nigel Parry

Roo and I met 10 years ago when he came up on porch. That's when he stole my heart! He was a very loyal cat~ at night he would curl up in my arm or on my head and fall asleep. Boy did he loved his treats!!! He knew when I went to the kitchen how to work his magic to give him treats too! I love you Roo and it won't be the same without you in my life!

Mel

Roo Roo, our Standard Poodle, was a beloved companion who shared 13 wonderful years as a loving part of our family. She adored people and animals, loved going to the office with her Mom, and taking rides in the car with her people and animal family.

Angie and John Wright

beloved pet and friend he will be greatly missed

Sharon Meier Vince

You gave us 15 years of love and devotion, for this I thank you.
You are with Twink, Jade and Kelly, you are running free and having a wonderful reunion.
Until we meet again,
Love, Granny Rose

We know how much you loved us, but your loss is almost too much to take. Please play in the forest and chase deer forever. When we see you again, it will be as it always was -- love and joy.
We buried you in your favorite yellow life jacket, and our sailing adventures will be renewed when we join you again. God bless you, our brave boy.

Bruce & Marzena Hoch

Rory, it broke our hearts to loose you. You were the such a sweet & loving soul! The house is so empty without you. The Schipperkes(3)& Pugs(3) are lost without you. I hope you know that putting you down was the kindest thing we could have done for you.We could'nt bear to watch you suffer anymore. Anthony has been looking for you too but he is too little to understand.
I hope you crossed the bridge ok & that Kaiser met you there
xoxoxo

Pat Tak Brown

loved Rat. She never bit anyone ever. She was all full of kisses. She had lost her sister two months before her herself passed on. I still upset cuz i wasn't there to comfort her in her time of needed. But am glad my sister was there. She was named after Rosy my first rat because of her personality. She will be missed.

Katie DeFelice

Rosco you silly little boy,you loved to roam and explore and Momma tried so hard to keep you safe and close to me,but on June 25th you wandered far from my watchful eye and was hit by a car.Momma was heart broken when Dr. Stan said you were suffering and help was beyond our reach.We placed you in the care of your brothers Max and Wokie who will meet you at the Bridge to welcome you so don't be afraid.We all will be together again at Rainbow Bridge.Until we meet again be happy and free with Max and Wokie to play,

Momma Dru

Rosco was a rescue dog w/ "Special needs" I believe he had known abuse prior to his adoption, and was familiar w/ being discarded at the local pound when I found him. He was a strong-willed loving dog who desperately needed stability and security. He was under 20 pds, but had the bark of a very large dog. Perhaps I was even closer to Rosco, because of his special needs. It took him a while to trust me, but once he did, he trusted me w/ his whole heart. And I loved him w/ my whole heart. When he had a "behavior", he would look up at me to see if I was stunned by it, or going to give up on him. I would ignore the behavior, and a minute later he would be licking my face. I believe he had occasional behaviors due to his unstable past...I think he tested to see if I would give up on him. I loved him unconditionally as he was, and he me, until the day I die...He loved being as close to me as he could, and wanted to be under the covers, especially his head...He liked being cozy and warm..He felt secure there...And I believe he knew without a doubt that he was loved deeply and perhaps, once again, even more for his intense, strong, loving personality. My heart is truly broken, and I will miss him forever. He was my special boy, and I pray I will be reunited w/ Rosco again someday, and that we will never have to part again...I miss him more than words can express, and as intense as a dog Rosco was...When he loved, he loved w/ his entire heart, but just as intense as his love, my grief is equally intense...I will do everything within my power to make changes for the positive in the lives of lonely, abandoned animals, in the name of Rosco, and my other beloved pets which have gone on before...ROSCO...I TRULY COULDN'T HAVE LOVED YOU MORE HAD YOU BEEN MY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD...I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER, AND DISTANCE CANNOT CHANGE THAT...MISSING YOU, BUT REMEMBERING THE FUN/FUNNY TIMES....GOD BLESS YOU MY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susan Berkeley

Rosco has been my partner for the last 13 years. Best friend and the closest thing I have ever known as a child. He has served this country on 09/11/2001 for 16 weeks looking for our loved ones in New York City and again in 08/29/2005 for 7 weeks in New Orleans. I cannot put into words my loss but he will be loved and missed till my last day and never forgotten. Go get your ball buddy! Good job!

Mickey Gelagotis

You were loved so much by everyone, my baby.
I'm sorry that monster abused you, and that you had to go through so much in your short life.
I hope you were able to live a good life while you were with us.
Mommy will always remember you, and I hope you're up there playing with your best bud.
I love you baby bear.

Melissa

We all love you and will miss you Roscoe!
You gave us many laughs and beautiful memories!
Rest in peace our furry friend!

The Tenney Family

To Our Sweet Little Boy Roscoe,

No one could ask for a better best friend. You were always there to make us smile even on our lowest of days. We loved to snuggle up with you on the couch when watching TV. It was always fun watching you go through all the shopping bags to see if anything was in them for you. We are going to miss all the times you would do your little back talking sounds when you wanted us to do something for you. The way you would lay in front of the Christmas Tree with your head on your wrapped up bone wanting so baddly to get it and unwrap it before Santa came.
You will always be with us and just know that you made us so very happy. You always showed us lots of love and for that we are greatful that we were blessed by God for bringing you into our lives.

We are proud of you and will love and miss you forever!!!

Love

Mommy, Daddy, Sissy, Bubby, and YoYo

Roscoe, you put up a good fight.
I'll miss you and Love you forever.
You live on in my heart.
You're with Daddy Dog now..........Free.
Howl at the wind, run with the Pack.

Mary

Roscoe wasn't only just my cat he was my BEST FRIEND
I love him. He had a tumor and it hurt me to see him in pain so,we put him down.I cried for the rest of the day and the next day it was hard to go to school.I loved and still love Roscoe he was special he always made me feel better but this time he wasn't here to comfort me. I read the "Rainbow Bridge" poem and it made me hurt i cried a lot and still do.Not waking up to see him or hearing his meow but he's not in pain and he's in a better place. I believe everyone has a guardian angel, and well Roscoe's mine. I feel him here but don't see him and I hope he knows I love him.

Jaiden

To My Roscoe -
You were my first baby - before Scooter came along. I was with you the first 14 years of your life - but unfortunately we had to be separated the last 2 years. But that didn't mean I stopped loving or missing you for one minute. And when I found out that you had passed on to The Rainbow Bridge - my heart was broken. I wish I could have been there to help you on your journey - hopefully you weren't alone. I have many precious memories of you & Scooter growing up together - I hope you are happy & playing together now at the Bridge!! Til you, Scooter & I are reunited - all my love!! God Bless You!! Love, Mommy

Roscoe, thank you for loving us all so well.

Thank you especially for being your Daddy Rj's Buddy for so many wonderful years.
You meant the world to him, and he misses you so very much.
Life will never ever be the same.

For all that you gave so many of us when you were here and for saying goodbye in such a beautiful and sacred way, thank you.

We love you and miss you more than we can say, Big Man.
Know that we carry you in our hearts and think of you all the time.

Sending you a big bowl of rice, ground beef, and turkey baby food... "Breakfast, Buddy!!
Who wants some breakfast?!"

We love you, Roscoe.

We will never ever forget you.

-Molly

I said farewell to my best friend Roscoe on Monday night.
It was the saddest moment of my life, but it was a beautiful event.

When our paths first crossed at the Midwest City, OK animal shelter, I thought he looked like a slightly off-kilter police dog, so I named him after the slightly off-kilter police man from The Dukes of Hazard.
He was the sweetest, softest, most gentle 70 pound shepard that ever lived, though his blue eyes always made him look a little scary to anyone who didn't know him.

For most of our over 13 years together (He graced me with his presence from when he was 2 until he was 15), no fence could ever contain him.
No yard was ever big enough.
Even when he was 13, I caught him red-pawed halfway over the retaining wall in my backyard.
For some puppies, heaven is an empty field.
For Roscoe I hope it is a maze of fences to jump over, dig under, or somehow just mysteriously wind up on the other side of.
At the dog park he seldom chased the other dogs, preferring to pace around the edges.
I always assumed he was looking for weaknesses in the fencing to plot his Great Escape!

Sadly, not even Roscoe could escape the clutches of Father Time and Cushing's Disease.
Throughout his 2 year bout with disease, I kept waiting for him to look at me and tell me it was time, but he never complained.
I'm sure his heart and soul would have fought on for 2 more years, but his body just couldn't do it any longer.

Goodbye my Big Man, my Buddy, my Pooper.
Thank you for making my life better every day for 13 years.
I hope I did the same for you, and I hope you can forgive me for everything I ever did that hurt you, and if I was selfish by making you fight for too long.
I miss you so much and love you more than I ever thought possible.

Rj McComb

Roscoe was my best buddy and I truly miss him more than anything in this world.
I know he is running free with all of his new friends in the green grass and sunshine.
May you run, eat and bark forever my baby boy.

Roscoe, may your wings be free and swift until we meet again. Sya hello to your sisters and brother who have gone before you!
Dad...

Roscoe will be sadly missed by our whole family.
To us he was much more than a great pet and friend. He was family. Always loving, trusting, and people like. A whole in our hearts will exist forever and ever. He has touched the lives of many. Our lives were all blessed by his life!!
I love you Roscoe!!

Cheryl Moore (MOM)

You will always be missed and regarded as an important member of our family. You were there for us during so many special moments.

For those of you who I have known over these past few years, you know I have had a wonderful dog named Rose.
She has been with me for over 12 years and has been my life and my heart.
I have never had a dog like her and I don't imagine I ever will again.
She truly loved me and gave me the best she had to give.
I was with Rose when she passed away.
It was one of the hardest things I had to do and I can't imagine having to go through it ever again.
She passed away with out pain and was in the company of myself and a wonderful veterinarian who showed us both compassion and caring at a most trying time in my life.
Rose will be with me forever.
I am sure most of you can understand the pain of losing a pet, but the joy that they brought to your lives while they were alive.
This is the Rose I will remember:
she couldn't stand horses, she loved to blow bubbles in the kiddie swimming pool, she slept at the foot of my bed or outside underneath my window, she loved to go for rides in the back of my truck, she loved her veterinarian Dr. Gorman and would always be happy to see him, she was loyal, loving and my Big Girl through some of the hardest times I have gone through and most of all, she never showed me anything but love even when she was in so much pain.
God bless all the animals who contribute so much to our lives.
I have truly lost a friend!

Katy Freeman

I adopted you and your sister 8 years ago, and I'm glad that we filled each other's lives. You and Schmoozie who died 9/10/08 are so missed. I love you so much.

Kevin

My beautiful Rosie left us too soon, and the grief is overwhelming. He was such a good baby and was adored everyday of his life. He leaves behind his brother Amber(Bambers as we call him) and 8 others who also miss his presence. He had many nicknames, Rosie Buds, Rosie Red, Dozes, but the love I have for him remains and I have to believe he is in a better place waiting for us to join him when the day comes. He was loved, treasured, and left us too soon. His loss was sudden, he had diabetes and died of Ketoacidosis. The guilt at times is almost unbearable, as I should have seen it, but we had just lost another kitty only 1 month and 11 days prior to him leaving. I thank God for everyday that we had him. He was my little protector and had such a sweet disposition. I still feel him around me but it doesn't take the pain out of my heart. There will only be one Rosie, and no other could compare. He had his little quirks, like drooling on me because he loved me so much,his sweet purr that I will always miss, and the kitty kisses he gave me regularly with his eyes. I always called him my little weirdo, because he did some funny things, and those are the treasures that will get me through the grief of losing such a beautiful angel.

Becky Freidenberger

I love you Rose. I will miss you so much.

Janell E

I cannot believe you're gone.
Two weeks ago we noticed you weren't the same.
Today I rubbed your neck as the doctor gave you your freedom from illness.
You were the greatest creation God ever
made.
The perfect lady, polite, sweet and so intuned to your protectors.
I love you more than anything in the world. The earth is a darker place since your light was extinguished.
I love you Rose, my baby girl. I will grieve forever...

Mara Busuttil

Our beautiful kitty Rose passed away, We are at a total loss and now have an emptiness in our hearts and home, she will be missed dearly.
She in our eyes was made of pure sugar and never ever caused us any grief nor pain.
She was fun, loving, and most of all a very dear companion.

Beloved Little dog, Forever in my heart...it hurts so bad! God be with you til we meet again

Laurie Green

Dear Rose entered the Rainbow Bridge on Monday.
Her Mom was there for her, as always.
She is now rid of her failing body and is once again a puppy, leaping and smiling with the other beloved furred and feathered.
Although Rose was too young to leave this earth, she left many happy memories.
Her human Mom and her sister, Maisie, miss her so much but when they are feeling stronger, Rose will let them know she's still there.
They have only to listen...........

For nearly 20 years you graced our home with love.You were such a beautiful, undemanding cat, content to just be petted and loved by your people.
We will never forget you, our sweet Rosie.

Sharon Withers

God Bless you, Rosebud.
Have fun with all the puppies up there.

Auntie Suzanne Xo

Rosey, I will always love you forever and ever and ever....

William

Rosey was an amazing, beautiful English Bulldog who taught me so much.
She will be missed by her proud, loving mommy.
I love you, my dear girl!

Tobii Quintern

Rosie was more than a pet to me. She was my best friend. She was always there to comfort me. Every time I heard her purr,I knew that things would be okay. I wish I could have her sit in my lap and purr one more time.

Nikki Wooden

Rosie, may you rest in peace! To the driver of the truck who hit her and sped away, may you burn in Hell!

Scott, Susan, Alec and Anna Thompson

Rose was a great bunny and will be missed and fondly remembered by his family.

I really loved Rosie.
She was so gentle with us and always smiling.
She was so beautiful.
When we first got her my husband used to make up little songs about her and sing them to her and it would make her so happy.
I miss Rosie so badly.
I can close my eyes and see her smiling at me.
I miss her.

Carolyn Smalley

My sweetie baby girl Rosie pasted today. She taught my boys some much. but the most important thing was how to love unconditionaly. She was such a smart and loving dog. She was my rock. I feel that she's not to far from me now, I just need to now that she will be watching out over me and my boys for ever.

Helen Butterfield

Rosie, I love you, I will always be your Mommy.
You brought so much to my life, I miss you more than you will ever know.
You left way too early, we did not have enough time.
You are my little rosebud.

Rosebud, I loved you even though are time was far too brief.
I am glad I rescued you and gave you close to four years of a good life.
You made my life joyful and I will always love you. Mommy

We will miss our little girl. You will always have a special place in our hearts.

Deniz

My sweet Rosie girl was a special and deeply loved companion.
I rescued her from a local shelter when she was about 2 or 3 years old.
She had been there for a long time and was getting close to termination because she was quite overweight.
But God led me to her and we had many beautiful years together.
She slept with me every night.
God helped me give her back to Him but the pain is awful. In the end she was so sick but still purred when I talked to her or touched her.
I will miss her terribly.

Sandy

In Loving Memory of Rosie Gustofik - 2/21/99 - 6/14/08

Rosie - your passing came so suddenly and unexpected, but we are thankful for the 9 years we had with you.
To us, you were not a pet but our child, companion, friend, protector and member of the family.
There is not a day that goes by that we don't think of you - you have left a hole in our heart, but one day we will meet again and be together for eternity.
We know you are in a better place and are comforted by the knowledge that your suffering has ended.
Rosie, we miss you with all our hearts but we will never forget you.
Your favorite things were to eat and sleep, so enjoy your favorite things now little girl, you have earned it.
You will always be with us - every morning the bird says, "Come on Rosie, good girl" and we have a smile on our face and can't help but think as you wagged your tail before your eternal sleep that you were telling us that you would be okay because you were no longer in pain.
You have taught the other family members well and Molly has some of your traits now, so although she's a Dachshund, she is a Basset Hound in spirit.

We love you Ginny's Ramblin Rose - you were the best anyone could ask for and more!

Steve, Lori, Ginny, Stephen, Harley, Gizmo, Charley & Molly Gustofik

Our precious Rosebud,
Small in size but so big in spirit and so hugely missed.
You were Mommy's pride and Daddy's girl.
Now our beloved Allie has joined you and we miss both of you so badly.
As you romp and play together, happy and healthy once more, know we watch the sky at night for the two brightest stars of all.
Farewell my little friend. Until we are together once more, your spirit will live in every smile and every tear we shed.
Rest well.
Love,
Auntie Cheryl

My dearest Rosie, faithful companion for 16 years,I love you and miss you every day. you deserved much more attention than I gave you , but I still loved you. Clyde misses you as well.

Rosie was a great dog even though she wasn't feeling well.
she loved going for long walks in the woods and going to the beach.
what she loved most was her family.
she even loved her two pussy cats.
Rosie was the best dog ever and will always be.
we will always miss Rosie, our Rosebud.

Sydney, Scott, Kris Kesselman

We adopted our precious RoseBud when she was just 6 mo old.
She has been the sweetest dog ever.
She had a cancerous tumor in her stomach and we finally had to let her go tonight, we didn't want to see her suffer any pain.
We are hoping she will see our Itty Bits who crossed the bridge in Dec. 1997, I'm sure he is waiting for her.
God bless you Rosie we will always love you.

Jackie Danielson - Scott Grunewald

It's been 10 months since Rosie's flown to the rainbow bridge and I still miss his songs and sweet ways.

To My Good Girl,

I miss you so much.
I have an empty hole in my heart.
I keep calling for you and looking for you and then I remember you are gone.
I pray that I let you go at the right time and not a day to early or late.
I love you so much and hope that you are pain free and happy.
You take care of Anthony for me and one day we will meet again.
Mom

Squeaky kitty, I miss you so. You were intrepid and swift, non-judgmental and even-tempered, Chico's special buddy. We will miss your flights to the top of the microwave cart and walks along scary railings. You graced us with an occasional lap-sit. You didn't stay on our laps long, and that made it all the more precious.
You were our friend for over nineteen years, we will miss you terribly.

Janet Romanelli

Rosie, I miss you so very much baby girl.
You were the joy of my life.
Even with all your medical problems we had some wonderful quiet times together.
I sure do miss rocking you to sleep.
I miss you and love you very much.
You will never be forgotten. Your mama

Rosie was such a special and gentle girl who had a very bad start in life. She was rescued at age about 2yrs. She had rope burns, broken tail and bruising all over. I don't know how anyone could have abused her she was so gentle. We will miss her terribly, stroking those lovely soft ears, seeing her bright eyes and lovely wet nose.
Rosie we'll see you one day and be reunited. Hope you are playing with Sam, Bonzo, Cagney and Dacca
(all loving pets) and are out of pain.
Love u and miss u Mum & Dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rosie my love, i miss your eyes, they were the window to your world.
You always looked lovingly at me.
Thank you so much for being my Rosie.
You will always have a place in my heart.
The baby bonkers came up to see you yesterday.
Please take care of her.
I will see you at the Rainbow's Bridge.
I will always love you.

Margie Pfirman

YOU WERE YOUR MOMMIES LOVES OF HER LIFE. SHE NEVER RAISED A PUPPY BEFORE AND YOU, BUGSY, GAVE HER SO MUCH LOVE AND COMPASSION. DON'T BLAME HER FOR YOUR DEATH. THE VET SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE SIGNS OF DIABETES. LITTLE ROSIE, WHEN YOUR MOMMY SAW YOU AT THE POUND, IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. SHE WAS SO AFRAID YOUR OWNERS WOULD COME TO GET YOU. SHE WAS SO EXCITED WHEN THE LADY AT THE POUND PUT YOU IN HER ARMS. YOU BOTH PUT UP WITH MY KIDS (CATS) AND NEVER HURT THEM.
I LOVED YOU BOTH VERY MUCH AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE LOVE YOU SHOWED YOUR MOMMY.
YOU ARE UP AT THE BRIDGE NOW AND I KNOW YOUR MOMMY CAN'T WAIT TO BE WITH YOU.
PLEASE PROTECT ALL YOUR FELINE BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO HAVE JOINED YOU RECENTLY AND WE'LL ALL BE TOGETHER SOME DAY.
I LOVE YOU KIDS AND MISS YOU.
LOVE YOUR BIG SISTER.

God gave us his angel on loan for a mere two years, We were on a transport run for a local rescue, when I saw you and you came home with us and we adopted you.

In the two years we had you, you loved training and was Princess Rosie Buttons, you raised over 7k for UK Animal Rescues. We vistited old people in homes and watch as they smiled.

You won lots of Rosettes in Dog shows, you loved them, in fact you loved life itself, even when you had large lumps on your body, even when you became epileptic. You still wagged your tail and pleased everyone around.

Sadly God wanted his prescious angel back, and you got Breast Cancer and you were gone within two days. Even when you were going to Rainbow Bridge, you kissed us and looked back at your brother and sisters in the car to say goodbye, checking we were alright...

Our hearts are broken Rosie Buttons, but your not in pain no more, Run free my angel... and say hello to James the Cat...

We all love you and miss you and you are the most wonderful dog anyone can wish for, your heartbroken
Mum and Dad and all the other Buttons Clan xxxxxxx

Rosie brought joy to all. She was the Queen and made sure that we all knew it. She will be greatly missed but we know she is in a better place. No dogs to chase her and nothing but love from Czarina, Billy and Davie.
God bless little girl!!
Love Mama, New Papa and New Mama.
Kadie and Piper send hugs and kisses and say one day, they will be with you.

My heart weeps for poor "Ross" who had to go through all the pain he endured from the hands of his abuser(s) and was dumped on Dead Dog Beach in Puerto Rico.
"Ross" was rescued by islanddog.com recsue group from the beach only 3 weeks ago and found the love he always searched for before he humanly was releived of his suffering.
He fought a great battle and now is in peace and pain free!! RIP Sweet Boy!!!

Suzanne

Why do pets have such a profound effect on our lives?

Rossie, you were 14 months old, your owner was devastated that they had to let you go, but knew we were going to give you a loving and fun new home. The first time i picked you up, i knew you were going to be a huge part of our lives. Although you were Carter's birthday present, we just knew immediately that you were going to like a brother to the boys and a son to Beck & I.

We had a summer of walks, trips and days and days of football matches, you soon became a friend to everyone we met because of your placid nature and willingness to play.

Winter was the same, playing in the snow, cold days just walking through the fields.

After Christmas, we decided you needed company, so Saffy came into our lives, some dogs don't take kindly to a puppy, but you accepted her completely and soon became her protector.

Then came that fateful day, a Monday morning, Beck & Carter taking you and Saffy for your morning walk, when without warning, you were taken from us by that lorry. You did'nt bark nor pull or let us know what was about to happen.
The only thing i thank God for is that you did'nt suffer.

The nicest thing i've heard since our hearts were broken was this..........

" A dog's loyalty and love is so great that should that person be in a life threatening position, the dog will sacrifice itself, rather than see harm come to it's owner"

We take solice in that as the lorry could have just as easily hit Beck or Carter, so with that in mind...

THANK YOU ROSSIE, WE MISS YOU SO MUCH IT HURTS, AD WILL DO FOR EVERMORE...

Dave, Beck, Bailey & Carter Greetham

Rossini passed on July 24,2008 at 5:45 pm.
He was a cat I rescued in September of 2004.
He had led a rough life missing fur on his stomach and near eye brows. I had nine cats at the time. He was very vocal and very determined. Such beautiful green eyes. My friend Tonia took him on December 4th. He had just gotten used to us and was sleeping with Gus my old cat. He went to live with her and adored her from the start. He had a real loving home and really once he was there was very content always with her where ever she was at the time. He stopped eating much and she had Annette come out and take him the clinic he had lost 7 lbs. in the last year.
He numbers were no good. He had kidney failure.
So Tonia decided to put him down. So I went over there to support Tonia. When I in I talked softly to Rossini and told him he was a good cat. He jumped down from Tonia's lap and came over to see me. Looked at me and smelled my purse and went and lied down. I took pictures of him. Annette came and we talked.
Tonia put him in the cat carrier and he protested however went. I told him Mother would be waiting for him. Annette took him away. What a great cat and what a love Tonia and he had. He will be missed however now he is free and whole. He is with her husband Gerry now and will be waiting for Tonia.

Roux was a faithful mutt that wondered up into my life. She was a special friend and I will miss her dearly. She will always have a special place in my heart. I love you Roux.

O'Neal

Rover was left on my back deck by his birth mother when he was less than a day old.
I took him in and raised the little fella.
Rov thought I was his mother and only had affection for me.
He tolerated the dogs, Wishey the other cat, and my husband.....only tolerated.
Rov would sleep with me at night with his head in my hand.
My hand had become, when he was a baby, comfort to him.
I miss Rov more than words can express.

Tonia Wilson

I loved my Rover dog so much. He was my friend and apart of my family. It's so lonely without you. Your cat Emily is so lost without her Rover dog by her side. The best dog in the world!

Sheila Copas

Rowan, I want to say thank you so much for all the love that you gave me.
I will always hold you dear in my heart, you enriched my life and went through the ups and downs with me.
I love you and miss you so much,
Rest in peace till we meet again.
Love and hugs,

Rowdi was my one and only son, canine or human.
From the time he was 6 weeks old until the day he had to leave my side, we were inseparable.
Rowdi was my canine soulmate, had extensive understanding of words, could tell when I needed some loving, and shared every happy and sad moment.
Losing him meant losing a part of myself, and I will mourn his loss forever.

Denise

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LOVE A PET SO MUCH - YOU WERE MY ONLY CHILD AND I MISS YOUR BEAUTIFUL EYES AND FACE SO MUCH.
I STILL LOOK FOR YOU WHEN I COME HOME AND MISS YOU FOLLOWING ME AROUND EVERYWHERE.
I KNOW YOU ARE NOT SUFFERING NOW AND FOR THAT I AM GLAD.
EVERY TIME I HEAR "YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE" I WILL SMILE AND REMEMBER YOU "SINGING" ALONG WITH ME.
I LOVE YOU MY DEAREST FRIEND.

Charlotte Rimel

Once again, the Gleeson family has lost another of our loved ones. Dear Rowdy was taken by diabetes and the complications it commands. He will now join Max,Ryler,Orange kitty and Mickey at the rainbow bridge. This loss was very sudden and devastating to Pat and Carol. Through their love and compassion for him, they chose to end the pain and confusion he was in regarding the latest diagnosis. Especially sad is Darla who grew up with him like a brother and sister. He can never be replaced or forgotten. The sweet nature and curious personality he displayed will be missed and forever change every activity our family plans. He can go to Max who was like his older brother and reunite with orange kitty who was like his closest friend. We'll all be together again one day and go fishing. Life will always be less joyfull. Goodbye little guy......

Gleeson Family

Rowdy was my husband's dog and I came to love him too.
He was very much into food, it was his favorite thing in life.
He would eat and
eat and eat if we let him.
He loved the water and loved to jump in lakes, rivers & pools of water.
He was my husband's best friend and buddy for 14 years and went with him every where he could.
When my husband had to leave him with me at home, he would sit at the door and stare at it waiting for him to come back home to him.
When we left to go to town, he would wait on the front porch for us to get back to him.

He was the biggest lap dog we have ever owned.
He soooooooo wanted to just sit in your lap even though he couldn't, so he would sit at your feet.
He was the best dog I have ever had, including the ones we still have.
My good friend said to me "He is now in great company, Steve Irwin (the crocodile hunter and his dog Suey, her dog - Bopper Dog, my husband's old dog Tina, my dog Twikkenham and lots of others that he can run and play with."
It's so true.
I miss him and I know my husband does too.
What a great and wonderful dog that will be missed by all that knew him.
We miss and love you Rowdy!!!

Jolie Baker

Words cannot express our sadness or love for our Rowdy Dog. We'll meet again in heaven!

Roxanne and Wes Lynnes

My little buddy Rowdy has passed on and we miss him daily.He was full of life and true to his name.Always the happy to see us and very much a lover.He loved to lay on the air vents when the heat came on,he loved to go for rides,he loved to play tug and fetch with us and our outher dog Rocky.The house is quieter w/o him and our hearts still hurt.Please check your leads,I had let them out to go pee before bed and his lead broke and he ran off to explore.I waited up all night but he never came home.I found him dead in the road the next day and it just broke my heart to pieces.I would give anything to go back in time and know that that lead was weak and I could replace it...just a word or warning..Rest in peace
Rowdy.........we all love you.

Rox, we love you and will miss having your energy and companionship as part of our daily lives.
We will always be grateful for all the unconditional love you brought to our family.
We hope you and Neko are now reunited.
Your spirit will stay with us forever.

Love,
Karen and Marty

To da maaan, she was the light in our lives we miss her so much rox the box, see you again sweetheart

Paul and Karen

Roxie - we love you.

Amy Mansfield

"Roxie" was my companion for 20+ years which is almost half of my life. I never knew how deeply you can love an animal until I lost the love of my life last week. Emotions I never knew existed came out of my deeply saddened body.

Roxanne was a petite baby with big, sweet blue eyes. She loved sitting in the middle of my girlfriends and it seemed like she felt like she was "one of the girls."

Roxanne also had a way of informig me of dates she did not like, by leaving presents for me at the front door and believe it or not, she was right on target.

She was my sunshine and I was very fortunate to get a job where I was able to work at home for the past 8 months allowing me to spend more quality time with her and also recognize early signs of illness prompting me to make quick decisions so she would not suffer.

I loved her more than life itself.

Love,
Your Mommy



Roxanne,

We have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain,

not because we did not love you,

but because we loved you too much to force you to stay.

With love from Your People

Roxanne was the sweetest girl in the world and made our family complete.
Roxy greeted everyone with her tail wagging and she sensed when someone was sad or hurt and provided loving companionship.
She loved to run and swim and be with her people. We miss you terribly and will remember you fondly always.

Jeannette Beck

Roxanne was the best friend.
She was always there for me.
I miss her so much.

Roxanne

After begging I was finally given permission by my now ex husband to get a pet cat. It was my Valentine’s Day present in 2002. We went and picked her out together. I thought she was the ugliest cat but I knew my ex saw something in her. I had never had a cat before so when she did her strange little meow I was scared. She didn’t like to be held. She wanted to run around but she had to wait until we got her home!!

She loved her new home. She was the best cat. She loved to cuddle, sit on your lap and play. She also loved to use her claws. Arg! I wasn’t ever able to break her of that habit.

About a year later we added her brother to the family. Bear is about twice her size. At first they fought. But they eventually came to love one another.

I have so many memories of Roxanne. She fell into our deep fryer, it was off and in the cupboard but none the less the back half of her body was covered in oil. She ruined our brand new couch and rocking chair by scratching it. She LOVED birds. She would chase after them and try and jump through the window to get them. She love to have her tummy rubbed, she’d roll onto her back and then arch her back and want you to rub her belly. She loved to sleep under the blankets with me. There are so many things I already miss about her.

In 2005 I separated from my ex. She came with me and all three of us, Roxanne, Bear and I moved into my parent’s home. And that is where we stay to the day. She helped me cope with the loss of the love of my life. She, along with Bear, became the love of my life. I don’t know if I would have made it through my divorce without them.

Roxanne started getting sick about July of 2007. Through out her sickness I tried antibiotics and steroids. She would do better but then worse. This went on and on and most recently I brought her into the vet in November. I told the vet, a lady I hadn’t had before, that I hoped she could make it to my birthday, January 7. The vet didn’t think that was going to happen. She was preparing me for the worst possible scenario. That same week I found out that I was having health problems that were similar to what she was having. I did everything I could afford to do to keep her alive. In the end I listened when she said she was ready to go. She made it to my birthday even though I’d given her permission to go several times.

Today, January 8, 2008 I brought her to the vet, one day after my birthday and put her to sleep. She went down hill fast last night. I guess she knew it was my birthday and I wanted her to wait until then. I’ve never had to put an animal to sleep so this was hard. My mom always told me that if I love my ex I should let him go, do what he wanted to do to make him happy (I no longer love him but it did help me deal with that loss). I am not taking that advice and applying it to Roxanne. I love her so much and there for I had to let her go. I had to do what is right even though it hurts so much! I know I will see her again. Reading the “Rainbow Bridge Story” and other related grieving poems has helped reiterate that I was the best thing to do. I look forward to the day I will see her again.

Roxi was with us for 14 years, from puppyhood to senility.
She has left a huge void in our family.
She was a kind, gentle, happy-go-lucky spirit that can never be replaced.
The silence in our house is deafening - we only hope that her suffering is over and that her happy soul finds its way back to our home.
We are waiting and we are missing her dearly.

Keely

Our amazing best friend, we will remember always

Shannon & Andres

Roxie came into my life as a rescue dog.
The first two years of her life before I found her were pure hell for her.
She was neglected and abused and in and out of the pound.
She was very insecue and afraid.
It took a year of love and special attention to gain her trust.
She turned out to be a sweet loving pet.
She had a stroke Nov. 24th.
I had to have her put to sleep. I miss her so much.

Betty

Roxie, you have been wonderful gift to us these past 14 years. You are going to be truly missed by all of us. We will never forget all our wonderful qualities you had, your beautiful brown eyes looking up at us, your cute ears flopping when you used to be able to chase tennis balls over and over. I'm sorry you had to be in so much pain in the end.
We really tried to make your final days as comfortable as we could.
We love you always and forever.
Thank you for being a part of our lives and chosing us as your family.

Tammy, Dan, Megan and Michelle

Roxie came to us almost 4 years ago at eight and 1/2 years from a rescue group on the day after Thanksgiving 2004.
She was a beautiful dog with a very loving personality, but had a few quirks.
She hated thunder, lighting and fireworks and we thought she wanted to kill our cat Frizz.
She did finally learn to get along with Frizz and when we moved to our new house almost two years ago we were fortunate that we no longer had a problem with fireworks.
All she wanted was to be loved and love you back.
Her loss was sudden from fluid around her lungs.
We decided to put her to rest last night instead of going through testing to see if she could live for a few more months.
She is now at the Rainbow Bridge with our other beloved pets that we had lost over the years.
Roxie, you will be missed by us and your sisters Cassie and Frizz.

Roxie-My beautiful baby. I love you so much and I miss you so much. We all do. Gramma and Papa love you and miss you cleaning up there plates on Sunday. You only lived with us a year of your life. But I don't think you were happy anywhere else. We never locked you in a cage. You were a crazy hyper dog-loved to play. We were so happy when you barked cause you were so quiet. I loved when you would meet us at the door with underware and growled. Kitty misses you very very much. We are very very devastated that you and Cesar left us so suddenly. Kitty made it out of the fire. He didn't want to leave you behind either. He is terrified of his new home without his 2 best friends with him. Roxie-Please take care of Cesar. He needs you. You both stick together for us. We love you so much. Watch over us. Especailly your little girl Callie. Take care of Kitty when he makes it to Heaven with you. We all can't wait to see you again. I will always look forward to seeing you both again. I also hope, Roxie, with all the love we showed you in that year, you consider us your parents and your true protectors and the family that truly loved you and didn't leave you behind. When we get to Heaven I hope you stay with us forever. Roxie, stick with your brother, take care of each other. We love both of you and we would never, could never forget either of you. You both our in our hearts and will always be there. We love you. We will see you again and you'll be good dogs, and stay with us forever. Roxie & Cesar, I love you and I can't let go even tho you are gone. I feel like I'm falling apart. I can't believe what happened and it was so sudden. If I could have been there a minute sooner maybe I could have gotten you both. I hope you both never knew what was going on and I hope you were peacefully taking your afternoon nap. I'm so sorry this had to happen to you both. Stick together and play like you do. That is how I'm going to think about you...Make us proud. Cesar and Roxie-- We love you tremendously and no one can ever replace either of you. I hope you aren't angry with us when we help out more dogs like you with your backgrounds. I hope you stand behind us and are proud of us for giving another pet an excellent life like you both had. I hope you approve. We love you both very much. We can't wait to see you both again. WE LOVE YOU CESAR & ROXIE.
~Daddy, Mommy, Callie, Kitty & Turtle. (And Gramma, Papa, Great Gramma--Take care of Great Gramma, you'll see her first). Oh yeah...Cesar, find Cody (mamaw's dog) introduce Roxie (i'm sure you already have Buddy)...Play nice together. Tell Cody I miss him and I love him too. Cesar & Roxie: we love you and can't wait to se eyou again!

Bob, Christy, & Callie

Roxie was a great dog, a true friend and companion.
She will be greatly missed by her family.

I love you my Roxie baby girl.
My arms feel so empty without you my bear.

Joy Wrona

To Roxie the perfect baby girl.
I love you and part of me went with you.

Earlene Jaggers

Roxie:
I miss you more than words can ever say. You were the shining light during my darkest moments.
Memories of you will keep me going and I know you are an angel in heaven along side Max and Jennifer.

Maria Eckert and David Humphreys

Last night, I lost my best friend in life, my Dog Roxie (or Rox, as we called her). I guess I have always been an Animal Person, with a special affection towards Dogs. In my Lifetime, I have had many good Dogs, but this one was the Very Best. You know when people say" Dogs are a Man's best Friend", this could not have been more true than with Rox and Myself. Now,here I sit a 50 year old Man, who feels just like a little Boy all over again.(lol.) When I sat on the Couch, she was at my Feet, when I rose to go into the other Room, She rose to go with me, even when she was at her Sickest. Even at her very last, She was trying to Wag her Tail at me. A more faithful companion I could not have had. Faithful to the very End. Willing to put Her Life on the Line for me. Rox,I'm really going to miss you, and you have fun at The Rainbow Bridge, and We Will play ball again together someday.

Mark & Deb

Roxie, my precious little bearcub-

I don't know what to say.
My heart is heavy.
I miss you more and more each day.
You were my best friend and I'll never forget you.

Woo Woo, old girl.
I'll always love you.

Michelle and Greg Shadowens

I have not forgotten you my dear sweet ball of emotions, Roxie. It has been two years since you are gone now and I have been wanting to do something special for you. I am so sorry you had to go away so soon. You had so much more time to spend with your mommy. I miss you everyday baby and now you can play with your sister Casey in Heaven. I miss your sweetness and intuition and your fiestiness over your toys (especially your porcupine) and your love of CHEESE. I rescued you but you really rescued me my darling dog. We grew to love and respect each other after a long time of learning each other and in the end you were the most touching animal I could have asked for. You truly loved life and your walks on the leash.
You were a happy, happy girl and I still miss you all the time and especially now with your sister gone. You were my two original girls and I will always remember you as a pair even though you couldn't be more opposite. Mommy loves you soooooo much Roxie. I will see you again baby girl.

Sharri Bronas

My sweet baby girl was with me for 13 fun and exciting years.
We have had many great times together.
She has chased so many animals with me behind her running after her.
She was the best friend anyone could have.
Everyone who met her loved her.
She has friends all over and is missed by all.
We love you sweet girl!!!

Alanna Garcia

ROIE WOO WE LOVE YOU. THE JOY AND COMFORT YOU BROUGHT US WE WILL NEVER FORGET.SLEEP WELL PUPPY. YOUR JUST A LADY AND WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED. WUUH!

To my girly girl: my heart aches for you every day.
I miss you so much. I miss your goofy mannerisms, your goofy sweet personality, I miss everything about you!
I take comfort knowing you and Bear are together again, and raising hell and having fun!
Peace until we meet again.

MB and Bob Becker

Roxxy, we love you soo much.
We are missing you like crazy, please let me know your OK I LOVE YOU..KISSES

Amanda Renneberg

She was the sweetest soul we've ever had the privilege of knowing.
Our hearts are broken to pieces.
She was gentle, kind and didn't have a mean bone in her body.
A delicate kitty, she was beautiful, but never acted haughty or conceited.
She was our sweet, sweet girl, and we'll always have a hole in our hearts that only she can fill.
We look forward to seeing her again when it's our time.

Tom Addesa & Ken Cornell

A stray taken in to protect a transmitter building from rodants.
She did her job well for about 19 years.
One day 2 years ago, they decided that she was a danger to the transmitter and she was to go to the pound.
Roxy had never had a family and she acted like it.
Claws first, bites next and run last.
We took her home anyways and in the time we had her, she grew to love us and trust us and we her.
On the day that she died, she worked her way from the garage that she had called home to the front porch.
I left the door open for her and she entered the house, for the first time ever.
I sat on the floor and she got in my lap.
She knew she was leaving and I think this was her way of thanking me and telling me she loved me as much as I loved her.
It took me four months before I could go back into the garage and another month before I could finally remove her belongings.
I miss that little black face with the bright green eyes.
I'm just so glad that I had the chance to show her the love of a family.

Dianna

Roxy was killed by a hit & run driver. She was adobted by us 4 years ago after being left behind in the back yard of a neighbor that moved. She had nothing but love in her heart and only wanted love in return. I feel like we failed her by not protecting her better. We love you Roxy forever...Please forgive us.

Patty Flanagan

Roxy was a precious 10 year old boxer-lab who fought for 9 months with bone cancer.
She was beautiful, loving, smart, and a joyous companion who will be missed forever.

Joanne Nolte

My sweet little Roxy passed over tonite. After weeks of something affecting her hindquarters, she stopped eating and just slept under the trees all day. She started becoming incontinent so I'm gratefull for doggy diapers. She came into my life 13.5 yrs ago, the first night she slept on my belly while on the couch. She loved to run and play catch, I guess that was the retreiver in her. I didn't ask for her but she turned out to be the love of my life. I'll see you on the bridge sweetie, both you and Magic, now you won't hurt anymore.

Drew Supko

Roxy was a special girl that was full of spunk. She could light up the room with her curly tail(butt)wag and typical "pom wave" greetings. Her favorite thing to do was give her dad kisses, sleep above his head at night, and play with her tennis balls(paying no attention to the many toys she had). Roxy spent lots of time with her mom trying and fighting to overcome her battle with IBD. She will be missed and loved forever. Rest in peace sweet princess girl.

Bill and Meghan Martin

Roxy, my love, you are a blessing from above. I will always love you and I'm sorry we are having to put you to rest. We can no longer watch you suffer from cancer. When you go, you will be in our arms and then you can join Damien in your paradise. Hopefully no more pain and send Damien my love. I will forever miss you. You and your love will be together agn. We will forever miss you and Damien but at least you two are together again.

Linda and Curtis Franklin

Your passing was so tragic for us, we miss you all the time.
It was too soon, too sudden, and you were so precious...thanks for all the kisses and cuddles!

Roy, Laura, Kaiti, Becca and Audrey

I LOVE YOU,AND I WILL MISS YOU FOREVER.

Kippy Godwin

Taken from us far to early. You were shot, 31 pellets and still managed to make it home safe to your mom and dad. We tried our hardest to make you get well. God just wanted you to help him. I told you girl, Ill see you in heaven. Your mommas little girl, and will always be. I miss you and love you.

Kristle

Miss Roxy Jean

Our precious little girl.
Fiesty and independent, but with a heart of gold.
She loved her pillow and living life on her terms.
A little sweetie who had a rough start in life, but found a family that loved her very much.
We miss you, baby.

My precious little girl...

Mark Ryan

I met you November 23rd in front of my house. You followed me to my door. You were so sweet that i decided to be your Mom. I could have you only for 3 weeks. Sweet little red haired boy. Did you want a mother at last moment..??
it was only 3 weeks , but you gave me a lot of love.

I still do not understand why you had to be attacked by calici virus got mutation which made you bleeding so much.
I had to let you sleep before you get more pain. I held your body ,and cried. At least you have pain no more. I miss you,babyboy. I will see you soon.

Miko

Ruby i miss you so much and am so sorry we couldn't fight this together. I think about you always, see you everywhere and will never forget you. Until we meet again my love...

Nicole

She was a great girl with lots of energy and heart.

Connie & Doug

Ruby girl, my baby, my faithful companion.
I miss you so very much.
Please forgive me for not getting you to the vet in time.
I will live with that mistake for the rest of my life. Now I can only look forward to seeing and loving you again in the afterlife! Until then, I long for you and hope you are happy and healthy in heaven. Your grieving mama, Patty

Ruby was an energetic, black bundle of fur but idiosincratic often times. I loved her immensely anyway for more than 10 years. She left the Earth yesterday and it is a grief-filled time for me. I'm sure she's gone to Dog Heaven.

Sandra Thibault

We will always miss you and we will never forget you.

Sylvia

She was such a sweet girl, she had a terrible first few years of life until she found our household.
She was loved, fed, walked, petted, spoiled and befriended by the whole family, including our other pets.
I can see her now running (probably after some birds or chasing a cat) freely and happily at the Rainbow Bridge.
Sleep peacefully until we are together again.xxxx

Jenne

Our beautiful Ruby, love poured out of every pore of her 13 pound body. Alway happpy, always ready to take a nap, a walk, a cuddle, a love, or a treat. Never a problem, our home is so empty without her and her pattering feet on the hardwood floors. Ruby died unexpectedly while we were on vacation, she suffocated eating out of a bag of wheat thins. Our terror at finding her and our feeling of guilt and loss are overwhelming. She will foreever be my "Rube girl" ready for a walk.

Shari & Chris Landa

Ruby was a wonderful dog - full of energy and life. She was our baby and we will miss her greatly.

Mike and Dianne Shelbrack

Ruby was a beautiful Cocker Spaniel who was the first pet I ever adopted and cared for on my own right after my husband and I were married.
We were only able to spend 3 years with her, but there are so many wonderful memories from that short time.
She had quirks that I had never seen in any dog before, and she will be remembered best for those: constantly licking the air, walking slowly under bed ruffles and dresses in closets and anything else that touched her back as she walked.

I miss you so much, Ruby!
I can't wait to see you again.
