Wachi was the best of dogs - loyal and faithful.
She was the leader of the pack...all respected her.
Her fight with cancer was painful to watch.
The rest of our dogs are lost without her.
She was Steve's special one.
Wachi adored him.
Her enthusiasm for life will live forever in our hearts.

Steve & Cherie Watters

I never thought i could love a pet so much,she was like a little angel sent by God.

Dennis

On this day my baby went home. He was loyal and just a wonderful member of our family and will be missed by all. We love you Wacko and you will and can never be replaced. We will take extra care of your best friend and mate, Diamond. We will take care of your babies when they come.
I will find the boy that has so much of you in him and keep him.
His name will be Knuts. Knutz McLovin.
We love you so much. Always & Forever

Waddles is running happily along with her Wrinkles...and finally gets to nibble on his ear again.
We will miss you forever!

Cathy Burlew

Waffle was the sweetest bunny in the world, and was devoted to her life-mate Pancake, who will miss her very much, as will her mom and dad.
We are all so grateful for the time we had with her, and will see her again someday on the other side of the Bridge.

Dani Warga and Mike Reynics

Gentle, loving "best buddy" for 15 years. You are missed!

Pat Dearing

To my beloved Wahoo, a great cat! She was very close to my heart. She always let me know what she wanted by giving me a huge head bump. If I didn't pay attention to her, she would very gently touch my face with her paw. If I was sitting on the sofa, I knew she would not be far behind, just to sit on my lap. Bedtime was her favorite. She would always sleep ON me. She will be missed, but she no longer suffers. I will see her again at the Rainbow Bridge. Be happy, be well. I love you very much.

Cheryl

Buddy boy, I only just put you down today and already this house is so empty without you, but your suffering is finally over. You brought so much joy to everyone who met you - everyone loved Waldo! You will always be in my heart and my memories will be with me always.
I know how much you loved me and find comfort in that.
I love you and miss you...

Susan Gradoville

Waldo was the most handsome in a litter from his parents, Oscar & Chelsea, who were pets of our son Eric & daughter-in-law Catherine.
We thought we were too old for another dog but couldn't resist.
It was one of our best decisions!
He was so playful and loved to play "catch me", sometimes to our frustration.
He loved cats, and played with and slept alongside a Siamese owned by our daughter when we visited.
Sometimes a cat wouldn't understand and Waldo would get his nose scratched, but he continued to try to make friends with every kitten or cat he saw.
He loved to travel in the car and went to Maine, Kansas, and Georgia from our home in North Carolina.
He was a wonderful companion and friend.
He stayed in good health until he was 12, when he developed prostate cancer and we had to put him to sleep at 13.
We will always remember him, as we do all our dogs and cats.

Bee & Rich Soderberg

At age 7 our daughter became very fond of the runt of a newborn litter of puppies at the home of a close playmate, so we adopted him as soon as he was weened.
Our daughter named him Waldo, and we added the middle name "Polar" because as a puppy he resembled a tiny Polar Bear.
That little fellow brought a wealth of love, fun and affection to the enitre family.
Then, when all three of our children grew up and moved off to college, Waldo stayed with my wife and me and became our constant companion.
I will never forget May 9, 2003, when I came home from my first ever hospital stay afer being diagnosed with cancer.
Waldo met us at the door as he had done so very many times before, wagging his tail and vocally expressing happiness that we were back.
But this time the tail wagging suddenly stopped as he began sniffing at my feet and pant legs.
He knew something was wrong.
He stayed right on my heel, softly whimpering as I walked to our living room and sat in my recliner.
He immediately snuggled in beside me as he had done so many times before as I watched TV, but beginning then he refused to move or be moved by anyone but me, even to go eat or get a drink of water.
He would not leave my side for anyone or any reason, and would bare his teeth and growl at anyone who attempted to move him.
He knew that I was sick and weak, and had assumed the role of my personal guard.
When I went to the table to eat, he would push his food bowl to a place next to my chair and eat beside me.
When I went to the kitchen for a drink of water, he would go to his water bowl nearby and drink.
When I went to bed, he went with me, and would leave my side only long enough to go oustide and relieve himself.
During the winter of 2003, while he was hooked up to his stake in our front yard as I did some light yard work, Waldo was attacked by a bulldog and a golden lab belonging to neighbors. I beat the two large dogs off him before any blood was shed, but Waldo suffered two herniated discs in the attack.
Our vet, who had treated him his entire life told us that he was too old to have much chance at surviving corrective surgery.
So we pampered him and kept him as comfortable as possible as we painfully watched him gradually lose the ability to carry his own hindquarters, until we could no longer bear to see him suffer.
I made a nice little oak case in which we have Waldo's cremated remains, his collar, and a lock of his soft, curly, pure white hair that the lady at the pet crematorium saved for us, and one of our favorite photos of him on the lid. We'll keep it all intact as a momento of the pet with which we were so blessed for all those years.

Waldo..Little Buddy.
I'm doing OK in the battle with cancer, but I know that I won't live forever.
So you keep on running and playing with all the other pets there, and before we know it I'll be there, and God willing we'll spend forever together.

Ray Cox

We love and miss you! Sorry we couldn't do anything for your back. Sorry.

<3

Tegan Switzer

I am so sorry that you were outside and hit by the car.
I am so sorry that I did not have you inside with me this morning.
I will always remember you running across the yard with your Gucci, your mom, and having fun and playing always like a kitten.
What a good kitty you were. I love you and I let you down.
I am sorry.

Karen & Keith Martin

My Wally Wu Wu,
you are missed so greatly.
You were the most wonderful loving animal that I ever had and I love you very much.
I still can't believe that you left but I know that you are running around having fun and showing everyone just how endearing you are.
I wish I knew what caused this to happen so that I could turn back the clock and change it.
You are my good boy, you brought me so much peace, joy, and wonderful times.
Till we see each other again.........

Nancy

To my Wally:
I know you are resting comfortably and playing and running happy and in no pain. I wish we could have made you feel better but know we love you and miss you. I'll see you at the Rainbow Bridge with much hugs and kisses which you love so much and I'll pet you as much as you want.

Love you Wally,

Mama

Wally was the best dog who just had too many health issues.
We did the best we could for him but when his breathing became too difficult it was time to let him go.
We miss him so much already he was such a big part of our lives and our house is so empty without him.
WE LOVE YOU WALLY SO MUCH OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN AND EMPTY

Judy Caldow

Wally produced good fruit. These included innocence, loyalty, goodness and above all else love. Man enters heaven by favor, but dogs enter on Merit, as surely did our Wally. He'll be missed and loved forever. We know we'll meet him again when we pass on ourselves, and we know he can hear us when we pray. He asked us to make those horrible seizures stop in the quiver of his whines, and we did. His passing on was peaceful, and he was and shall be loved forever. Rest in Peace baby.

Donald Murray and Michele Jansz

Wally, you were my best friend for almost 11 years.You are missed so very much. Scooter is with you again, and I know the both of you are happy............I love you

Carla Larsen

She was my best friend who never judged or shunned me. A piece of my heart left with her as she passed away in my arms this morning Sept 10th/2008. I will always love her.

Brian P.Ralston

You were and always will be my angel.
Your spirit and who you were will always be bigger than what is.
I loved you more than words can say and I will never forget you.
There is a hole in my heart without you.
I hope you're living as you deserve.
You'll always be my guy.

your mom,
rebecca



Walter, you were always there for a belly rub.
I hope you were there to meet Mr. Socks when he crossed over.
You will always be my Walter Boy.

Jade

IT HAS NOW BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE WE LOST OUR PRECIOUS WANDA. I MISS HER EVERY DAY AND STILL LOVE HER VERY MUCH. SHE WAS A VERY PRETTY GIRL AND SO SMART TOO. SHE WAS SUCH A PART OF OUR LIVES AND HER PASSING LEFT A TREMENDOUS EMPTY SPOT IN MY HEART.

Mike and Stacy

There is a special place in my heart for you.
I miss you every day.

Gina McCullough

Weasel was my companion, my anchor and my only family for 10 years. He eventually succumbed to Insulinoma after being ill for 2 years. I will always miss him.

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it
There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
-Talking Heads

Imelda Sarnowiec

Weaver, my boy, you are beautiful, regal and such a loving part of my life.
Your huge presence silenced the house when you left.
We all felt it, humans and animals to the very core of our souls.
Thank you for all your love, protective ways and filling my heart with joy. I will forever miss your soft fur and the way you would so sweetly lay your big head on my lap for me to love on.
Be well my friend, run free of pain with your brother, until we meet again you will live forever in my fond memories...all my love always, Lisa

To our wonderful and faithful boy. We will miss you always and never forget you. You were a huge part of our family and there will always be a whole in our hearts were you belong.

Barb & Chip

To the best of my calculations, Webster Glenn Kocsis was born August 30, 2001.

It is uncertain exactly where he was born or how he spent the first five weeks of his life.
Because it wasn’t until about the second week of October that he made an appearance in the Building 21 Warehouse at the NASA Glenn Research Center.
There were many pallets to hide under but there were also big tow motors and other machinery as well as those big tall warehousemen.
Luckily the warehousemen ate well and Webster was able to survive on their leftovers.
The warehousemen would see him every once in a while but Webster was fast.
He could run like the wind.

In the middle of October, a concerted effort on the part of the warehousemen began to capture Webster.
A cat carrier was set out at night with food and water but Webster was too smart for that.
About this time also, a very nice lady kept showing up and peeking at Webster hiding under the pallets.
She also tried to catch him but of course couldn’t because of his lightning speed.
Little did Webster know that soon that lady would be leaving as she was retiring after 36 years of working at NASA.
Little did he also know that her retirement party -- which happened to be on her birthday -- was going to be held in the warehouse.
There were lots of people going through the warehouse.
Tables being set up.
Decorations being hung.
Webster tried to keep hiding -- going from one place to the next.
But this one time, as he was running away from two big warehousemen,
he ran straight for a third warehouseman.
And this time the warehouseman was faster than Webster.
He just bent down and picked Webster up by the scruff of his neck.
Captured at last.

Webster was put in the cat carrier.
He was not happy at all.
And lo and behold who comes along but the nice lady.
There was no question who Webster was going home with.
He became both her retirement and birthday present.
And it was probably the best one she had ever received.

So Webster went home with the nice lady.
Of course, we didn’t yet
know that Webster was Webster.
The next day, he went for a checkup at Crossroads Animal Hospital and Dr. Jeffrey Peacock pronounced “it’s a boy”.
And so Webster Glenn was named.
Webster had some fleas and some worms but Dr. Peacock took care of those right away.
Webster went home and had to have two baths to clean away the dust and dirt from the warehouse.

Because he had lived in the big, dusty, noisy and very scary warehouse, Webster was very skittish.
Things startled him easily but he adjusted to living with the nice lady and two brother cats, Dugan and Bailey, and two sister cats, Emily and Trixie.
Of course, it took them some time to adjust to Webster also.
And Webster would always hide when company came.
It was hard not to remember that warehouse.

There were many rooms to explore and many things to see when looking out the windows.

Life was good.
Webster played with his brothers Dugan and Bailey but especially with Bailey.
They would wrestle and wrestle.
Of course, Webster always instigated those sessions.
He also liked to stalk his sister Emily.
No matter how much she growled or hissed at him, he would not back off.
And if she ran away, what fun for him.
He ran after her.

Webster also loved the sun -- and his toy mice -- and his catnip.
As soon as the cupboard door where the catnip was stored was opened,
he was right there, meowing yes, yes, yes.

But in October 2005, Webster started having some health problems.
He began having seizures and was referred to Dr. Marcia Carothers at the Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital as well as Dr. Lori Hitchcock.
Dr. Carothers is a specialist in internal medicine and determined that Webster had glomerulonephritis or chronic kidney failure.
Dr. Hitchcock is a veterinary cardiologist and determined that Webster had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or a thickening of the walls of the heart.
Such big diseases for such a little guy.
He continued having sporadic seizures even though the cause was never determined.

So Webster’s journey began.
Over the next couple of years, Webster made numerous 40-minute trips to Akron to see his doctors.
Blood and urine tests were done and
medications were changed as necessary to try and slow down the progression of the disease.
Of course, Webster would not eat the special renal food that would really help him -- he just loved his Fancy Feast -- and his Star Kist Tuna.

Webster also loved going outside to sit on the deck in the sun.
He (somewhat) willingly allowed a harness to be put on him and he just waited for that door to open.

Starting in January 2008, the kidney failure was taking a toll on Webster’s poor little body.
He was losing weight more rapidly no matter how much he ate.
Visits to Akron went from every three months to monthly.
But he still loved sitting on the deck in the sun.
He was very brave and handsome in his golden sweater.
Even though the sun shines, it’s not always warm.

His last visit to Akron on April 28 showed that the disease was progressing ever more rapidly.
Daily subcutaneous fluids were prescribed and the nice lady (Webster’s human mother) learned how to give them to him.
It was very difficult for her to put Webster through that even though it would make him feel better -- as least temporarily.

Webster was withdrawing more and more and found himself a spot in the basement.
His mother made him a nest of blankets in a box where he could be alone.
He had a small litter box near by as well as his water.
And even though his food was brought to him -- he liked salmon the best -- it wasn’t tasting so good anymore.

On Monday, May 19, Webster was told how very much he was loved by so many people, and he very quietly slipped away to the Rainbow Bridge.
I don’t know if he could ever imagine the impact he had on my life.
I never knew how much until he was gone.
Webster was cremated with a fuzzy purple ball -- one of his favorite toys -- and a small catnip pillow -- another favorite.
And he’ll come home again!

Webster started life as a warehouse kitty and very quickly became my beloved pet.
He was sweet and loving and just a wonderful little guy.
I will always love you Webster and you will always be my baby boy.

I have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain, not because I did not love you but because I loved you too much to force you to stay.

Sandy Kocsis

Wednesday came into my life unexpectedly and suddenly, just as she left.
I never knew the bond that could be created in such a short time.
I think that her and I were kindred spirits in different species.
My love for you is immeasurable and my sadness that you are gone is overwhelming.
I promise that I will take good care of your sisters and always honor your memory.
I love you Winnie...

Amber Hambly

Suzy, you are gone now, but I know you're in a better place. The pain is fresh and always will be, but I know in my heart that I'll see you again someday. You were with me through thick and thin; through my stomach surgery when I almost died, and through many other difficult times. Everyone misses so much, and you will always be our baby girl and best friend.

Your Bubby,

Trevor

My boy was lost to me in 2001.
I had to give him to two children who needed him more than I.
I hope you have been happy and hope to see in Heaven.
Take care my little Junior.

Angelique Fancher

Ween was the kind of dog everybody loved. He had been sick for many years, but he lived until he was almost 10 years old. What a loyal and true friend he was to me. I can't say enough about my precious puppy dog, who has now gone on to be with all the others animals at the rainbow bridge. I believe that God made a Special place for him. I miss you Ween....You were the Best companion I could have ever had. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. I love you Always.
Mama Sue

I will never forget you and hope that you knew how much I loved and will continue to love you. I am sure your mama Kitty and buddy Spikey were there to greet you when you crossed over.
You will always be in my heart!!

Love you,

Mommy

We rescued Weepee in 1999 and gave her a good life.
She loved us and appreciated all we did for her, and we appreciated all she did for us.
She was worn out and we relieved her suffering this afternoon.

Sharon O'Quinn

Weezer,

I'm having such a hard time writing this because I miss you so much! You took your last breathe right in front of me and I haven't stopped crying since that very minute. It was my fault for letting you out without a leash, which caused you to get hit by a car. You were the best dog weezer and I'll never forget you. Your brother Bruiser is so sad and keeps looking all over the house for you. We are going to make sure that Bruiser is taken care of for you since that's what you always did, take care of him. The kids miss you terribly! I remember everything about you and the memories will stay with me forever. We love you and miss you weezer!

Michael, Nicole, Toni, Avery & Alex Wheatley

Me and your brother miss you so much! You talked to me every day and made sure I knew how much you loved me. It is very sad at home without you. I love you so much and I feel very happy when I think about how much joy you brought into my life for 6 wonderful years! I am only sorry we did not have longer together and I cannot wait to see you again someday. I miss you weezie weez

Abby

You will not be forgotten. You gave me more love and comfort than most humans.

Ann M. Savage

she was our little princess, always had some thing to say.
Loved to play and take walks, give kisses, and was right there at you side. Hoged the bed.

We love you babygirl!

TJ and Loryn

Wendle was a great dog and friend to us. We will miss him more than word can really express. He lived a good life, starting out with just Rick, a bachelor that needed a friend/companion to take on hikes and sit with on Friday nights sharing a pizza and some ice cream. They were a good pair, and for almost 11 years they were there for each other with comfort and friendship. Wendle leaves behind his human parents, Rick and Sara, his human siblings, Emma and Charlie, and his canine siblings Audrey and Buster. He’s left us with a huge ache in our hearts, but we know he’s not suffering anymore and he’s in a good place where he can have all the pizza and ice cream, (and lets not forget peanut butter) that he wants. R.I.P Bubba...

Rick and Sara Kitchell

I feel so sorry that I couldn't help you with you're illness. Every day you are in my mind. You are living throug in you're brother Saffier who is still with me. Love you

Eric

Bertie was a companion and a trusted friend. He got sick about a year ago and at first hope was good for his future. He never improved but got steadily worse. So as his friends, we decided to put him down. It was the hardest and saddest decision we have made in our 39 years of marriage.
He will be missed, but our knowledge that he is in his youth again and is having no pain, plenty of food and sunshine. Knowing that he is playing and running again has made it all worth while. Good by little friend, we will meet again!

M & J Janes

Abby touched so many people's heart.
She will forever be in mine.

Dan Hedglin

Our beloved Whidbey went to sleep on June 20, 2008 at 6:20 PM, after a struggle with stomach cancer.
Whidbey was handsome, regal, loving, and didn't have a mean bone in his body.
He did no harm to anyone - ever.
He was loyal, bright-eyed, and smart.
Our pain is unbearable at times, but we know that after the tears stop, he will be remembered with smiles and laughter by us and all of the people he touched in life.

Meryl & Ken

Whinston left us last night. He died in my arms very peacefully.
His brother Smokey Joe and Daddy was there too.
We love you very much, Whinston and miss you dearly.
We will treasure all the memories you have given us. You touched the lifes of so many.
You were so beautiful that people were attacted to you.
There will never be another one to take your place.
There has to be a very special place for you and someday we will see you again.
God will take care of you now and I know you are at rest. WE love you Mom and Dad.

I will always miss you Whippy.... Always loving you

B Lian

Whiskers was a wonderful, sweet family pet. We will always remember her with great fondness. Rest In Peace my baby girl.

Gloria Kay

Whiskers was a wonderful dog and especially loved by her 2 boys who were given the puppy when they were 5 and 8 years old.
She will be greatly missed by us all.
She was a faithful friend and companion to her Master, Bob, who appreciated her company during the times when he was home alone every day.

We will miss playing "blankie" with her.
It was the funniest thing she did.

The Williams Family

Oh Whiskers, you silly, adventurous kitty.
I'm sorry we lost you when you were so young.
I've never forgotten you climbing up the Christmas tree or falling into the bathtub when I was just a kid.
Take care of all our other pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge, especially my Zoe.
Until we meet again, I love you.

Wendy

Whiskers had a special quality about him that elevated everyone who met and knew him to a very happy and tranquil state of mind.
He was pure love.
He was majestic and proud, handsome and regal.
He was never sick, and until his last day he maintained his demeanor and dignity without complaint.
We never knew he was dying until the day he had trouble breathing.
We had to send him home that day with great sorrow and shock but lovingly released him from this realm. We will love him forever and never forget him.
Today we grieve, some day we will rejoice.

Cindy Luce

Whiskey was a wonderful cat who loved everyone. Thru my darkest hour of my divorce when I thought no one else loved me and I didnt want to go on another day he never left my side and gave me the will to continue on. He was my best friend and I will always love and miss him.

Twanna Aldridge

Grieving for the loss of little "Whiskey", the neighbor's Dachshund who was thrown outside to face outdoor survival. He brought his hunger and thirst to us, that was quenched daily with food, treats and fresh water. When greeting "Whiskey", he would cock his head sideways and open his jaws making low-keyed chatter noises, while lifting up his opposite front paw.
He was run over in the neighbor's (his "owner's" yard). Among those grieving are our five strictly indoor pampered kitties, "Leah", "Sweet Pea", "Minnie", "Harry" and "Muffie" - the latter being three kitties we rescued from suffering and death; and our secure, safe, warm fenced in outdoor dogs, "Dolly", "Pixie", and "Neena". Blessed be the pet owners who accept responsibility for the care of their pets; who get to know them as having personalities, hearts, souls, with abounding unconditional love; who respect and understand that they experience pain and suffering just as we humans do, and require dependent care just as we choose to acquire them to depend on us.
Blessed be the pet owners who believe a pet deserves safety and well-being.
Blessed are the pet owners who believe in spaying and neutering.
Blessed are the pet owners who prevent their pets from being eaten away at by fire ants, fleas, ticks, bitten by spiders, snakes, harmed by other animals, motor vehicles; Blessed are the pet owners who freely, openly and willingly refuse to tolerate their pets being in harms way.
In the owner-marriage of pet love, understanding and dependency, may we all do our part for their ultimate well-being and needless passing.

John

Whiskey, you were a great cat, our little buddy.
We adopted you at 7 and it was great having you these 3 years.
But it was much too short, and you fell ill and had to be put to sleep.
It was all so sudden, and we were just devastated.
A month has gone by now, and it's still just as hard.
You will be missed, and always remembered.
RIP buddy.

Tom McDermott

Our family is not the same....you are missing....no food bowl....no 5:00am meows.I even miss you walking across my lap-top as I type this, my sweet. Waiting to see again at Rainbow Bridge,

Momma loves you Whiskey you are always loved and in my heart.

For 15 years Whisper sat watching in his seat while we trucked all over the U.S. At night he made sure I was awake, often giving me kisses to wake me as I drove. Now you are gone, BUT never forgotten!! You where my son, my baby and my best friend! I know you have no more pain and for that I am happy. But Til I see you by the bridge, I will miss you every day... Daddy loves you, Whisper!

To our beautiful girl Whisper, you will always be in our hearts and in our thoughts. Your body has now left your moms, brother Hainer and sister Bailey but your soul will now go on forever in heaven with you other sister Tealoc who's been waiting for you. Moms love you very much darling, RIP

Kay, Les, Bailey, Hainer

Whisper gloried in running. Her joy in her speed spread to anyone who watched her. Any problem could be cured with a wide open run across a field.

She had a strong sense of responsibility for her family and our farm. She was my enforcer. She kept the pet doves safe from the cats. The birds could wander safely anywhere in the house amidst the cats and the cats would carefully turn their heads and look in the opposite direction. They knew Whisper had her eye on them.

Our horses run loose with only a gate across the driveway. Whisper knew we did not like them to be on the lawn near the house so, even if she was sleeping inside, she would jump to attention and bark thunderously if the horses got too close to the house. Let her out and she would chase them off.

Whisper followed me as I rode miles on horseback. She would cover even more miles exploring but always coming back when I called.

Whisper gave comfort and companionship to my daughters as they grew. She stayed with me through divorce and when my daughters grew up and moved into their own lives.

She never forgot a friend or the friend's vehicle. She greeted each one with heartfelt delight and warned strangers away with an omminous show of teeth.

She greeted me every day with a love that had no boundaries or expectations. That love was her greatest gift to all of us in her family. We are better people for having known her. Now we have to do our best to be the kind of people she believed us to be.

Helen Holmes

My Dear Whispers (Honey Hair) Its been 10 long years since you left me. I still miss you so much and still shed tears for you. I miss holding you as we walk around.I know you are with Frisky and Jim. Until we are all together again you live in my heart. Love Daddy

Whitesox Elvira of Phoenix, Arizona passed away peacefully Tuesday afternoon, July 1, 2008 in her leopard bed with her dad's arms around her after a short illness.
She was the daughter of CH Whitesox Winnipesaukee, DM and CH Whitesox Chicago WC 2005.
She is survived by her Dad, Randy Oaks; loving Mothers, Karen Lane and Sandy Faust; Uncle and God Father David Chambless; two Birman Brothers and her Cousin Zuni who visited her shortly before her passing.
She is also survived by many other Whitesox Birman Cousins and family.
Elvira carried on her namesake from her first breath to the last.
May both Elvira's be in our hearts forever.
I will never forget My Little Munchkin.
Rest in Peace

Randy Oaks

Whitey was the last of four baby gerbils born on March 17, 2005.
His mother, Mitzi, was the first gerbil I had ever owned.
She was a beautiful animal.
His brothers,
Toby, Joey and sister, Molly, were loved dearly.
Whitey Bitey as he was nicknamed, he was a nibbler as a baby, was a beautiful white albino gerbil.
He loved rolling in his little hamster ball.
I bought another white albino gerbil, Smitty, which I referred to as Whitey's adopted son.
He will be missed.
RIP little friend.

To my dear Whittle,
Oh honey it is so hard to write this as I can't believe you are gone.
Your were always so fat and rambicious that it is hard to believe your little old legs did not want to carry you any longer.
We couldn't figure out what was wrong with you the last 3 days, so we took you in and oh we found out so much that I am hoping you did not feel the pain from all the things they found out.
You had bad sugar diabetics,tumor in your stomach, bad kidneys and liver.
you always acted normal and happy except the last 3 days.
I hated to have you put to sleep butI did not want you to suffer any longer.
I know the good Lord was waiting for you and you are at peace now.
We loved you so much and it is so hard to look at the big old dog bed you slept on is now empty.
I am sorry baby if you had pain.
We gave you such a good life that I hope you felt the same.
You have so many brothers and sisters to play with now and you know we will see you again well and playing.
Good bye my love and please be waiting for us.
We all loved you so much.
Mom and family

Whoopi was a dog in a million and will be sadly missed by both of us.
She had a good life during her fifteen years with us and there is no dog in this world that would ever replace her.
Her time had come to leave and she knew that, she went in peace and in no pain.
We love you our Whoopi Girl and we will never ever forget you.
You brought love and joy in to our lives and that of Pookie and Gracie also.
Rest in peace my little one you know we will be always thinking of you.
God Bless...

My beautiful boy, rescued from an abusive home and came to me to love.
Life was so hard for him too much early abuse and illness was the result.
He gave his all, his love to me, his trust, his bright eyes and wagging tail and cute antics brought a smile to me each day.
My heart is sad and I cry a lot for my boy who left too soon.

Val

WICKET, YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND. I MISS YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING. AND I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT I AM SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO. I LOVE YOU WICKET.
HUNTER MISSES YOU LIKE CRAZY.

Susan Stclair

I look down at you,
Curled up in my arms,
For one last time.

I remember the day you were born.
You and two brothers,
To a stray taken in
By a neighbor.

I remember when you
And your brother Truman
Came into our home.

Five weeks old.
I have a photo of that day,
Both of you in one ceramic bowl.

You both grew up,
Changing from kitten to cat.
Then Truman suffered that stroke
And you were left alone.

You were fearless.

You climbed the ladder behind me,
Surprising me on the roof.

You rode for hundreds of thousands of miles
In our big truck, curled up on the seat
Or on the dashboard.
You always bravely stuck your nose out
When strangers came to admire you.

We called you the "concrete block cat."
Size, weight, shape, color and intelligence
Of a concrete block.

But that wasn't fair.

You were never agressive,
Always gentle, inquisitive,
Friendly to everyone.

Now I look down and see that cruel invader
On your chin and throat.

It's a strangler, taking your strength
As it absorbs your nutrition,
Even stealing your breath.

The vet said she could remove it, maybe.
You might live a few more weeks.
But I've seen those bright green eyes
Go dull as the moon behind clouds.

That gray silk that was your fur
Is now dry and mussed.
That dark gray nose is hot
And cracked.

So now we're here at the vet's again,
But only to end this hell you're in.
Each of your breaths drags,
And you barely open your eyes
As the vet approaches.

She slides the needle into your vein,
And eases the plunger home.
Another tear runs down my nose,
Splashes on your fur,
Followed by one from the vet.

You take two more deep breaths,
Then a shallow one,
Then nothing.

I feel relaxation come to your tired muscles,
And I feel your struggle to breathe end.
I feel the pain and strain
Ebb from your tired body.

We will take you home,
And lay you beside your brother again,
Under the dogwood tree.

And I can only think how lonely we will be tonight,
When the lights are out,
And the wind sighs through the pines outside,
And you are not on the foot of the bed,
Purring.

Sleep peacefully at the bridge.
Purr softly, play gently
With those who have gone before you.
Wait patiently for those of us
Who will come after you.

Michael Blanche

To my very special Wicky. You brought so much love and joy into my life. I will never forget you! You were my shadow and I miss you so much! Now you are well again and running and playing. Be happy and save a place for me by your side. We will be together again. I love you, Wicky!

Wikkit was he most extraordinary dog I've ever known. She was intuitive - even knowing when I was going into preterm labor before any person - faithful, patient, playful, and gentle. She ws blessed by Tibetan monks.
Wikkit was raised in a classroom full of preschool children with autism, and seemed to sense when they needed understanding.
Wikkit has been with me since I graduated college, and I will miss her as I start the next chapter in my life, motherhood. I believe she made me a better person by her example. I have been extremely honored that she chose to spend that life with me.

Lisa

If my tears were a bridge to heaven then I could be right there with you now Wiki darling.

You will always be in our hearts.
We Love You so very much darling.

Wiki Reader You have my deepest and eternal LOVE.

Missy says take care bro. She also misses you very much.

My Precious Wilbur died Tuesday night in mine and my moms arms after a courageous month long battle with Scurvy, brought on by my pet store recommended the wrong kind of food for him.

While gone, and leaving me with a hole in my heart that I don't think can ever be mended, I know he is running around in Rainbow Bridge, loving me as I love him.

He was truly beautiful in his own way. He didn't have fur but he taight me beauty goes much deeper then long fur and top breeding. Beautiful is the way he loved me and I loved him. The way he nuzzled me and licked my fingers after sharing an orange with me.

This is in your memory, baby, I miss you so much already.

In October, 1992 I went to sturgeon bay Wisconsin on a whim with friends one weekend in college and found my love... Wilbur.
At 5 weeks old this black and white shih-tzu pup burrowed behind my back for most of the night and I decided whatever it took... we both knew we were for eachother. 3 weeks later at 8 weeks old on Halloween he was delivered to me!
this little prince brought me and my family so much joy. He was like a child to me. He is the reason I wake for the past 16 years.
He was a big brother to Daisy Beagle -13 and to Max Shepherd -10. He raised a bunny named Thumper for 10 years. He was a cousin to Winnie, Shayna and Opie. He is the reason we have kitties Marley and Butch. He raised and shaped our family. He was and will always be top dog! Wilbur was a very brave little guy who stood up to even the biggest of dogs. He stuck with me through everything and anything...I stuck with him up
until his last breath. We all feel an emptyness in our hearts but we try to remember what a full life Wilbur had. He traveled all over the country, he hiked many forest preserves. He went to concerts. He loved to swim in Lake Michigan.
He attended several ski trips and loved to romp in the snow. Wilbur loved to nurture and care for small pets.
We live to see 'floppies' and we loved your sweet kisses!We loved watching you lay with your 'airplane leggys'!
So many people were blessed to have known and spent time with Wilbur.
He loved pizza. He enjoyed pizza on his last day. He made his way into the kitchen...very eager for lunch. We played in the grass outside and he rubbed his face in the grass and wagged his tail. He went very peacefully last mon June 16,2008. God bless your strong little heart Wilbur. My little tough boy! You are forever in our hearts and thoughts- all of us. We miss you dearly.
Love Mommy, Daisy, Max, Marley, Butch and Daddy.

To Wilbur and all who have gone before him.
Our love for you knows no bounds and you will always be in our hearts.

You poor thing....after such a hard winter with so much snow and now spring is finally here, it is so sad that you had to die is such a savage way.
We will miss seeing you in the yard, your graceful form and gentle nature.
I hope you too are at the rainbow bridge with my Sophie and Bert.

Diane

The love you gave will last a lifetime.
I will see you again someday.

Over the past month and a half, my sweet old dog had gone downhill pretty rapidly. Monday night I took him to the vet, and he seemed to agree - it was time. I took him home so we could spend one more night with him, and at 10:30 this morning Doug and I took him in and had him put to sleep.

I really want to share an experience I had with Wiley about a month ago: For the first 12 years of Wiley's life, he slept under the covers with me at night. But his sleep patterns changed as he aged, so that at night he couldn't stay still anymore...he'd pace the bed and shuffle about so much none of us, including him, could get any rest. I was devastated when I had to start putting him in a kennel to sleep instead of having him tucked against my side - it felt like the beginning of the end. Of course, he lasted another four years!

Anyway, a few months ago, sensing that he was nearing the end, I'd taken to carrying him to bed with me and letting him pace around a bit while I read a book before going to sleep. Usually he'd be restless during these times, lying down for a few seconds, then getting up and finding another spot to settle in for a moment or two, and so on and so on. Always I'd have to put him back in his kennel before I shut out the lights and went to sleep, but - there was one night a few weeks ago when, for some reason, instead of getting restless, he actually crawled under the covers, curled up next to me, and went to sleep. I couldn't believe it. He hadn't done that in YEARS. Immediately I pulled the covers over both of us and shut out the light, determined to take advantage of the opportunity to sleep next to him again, the way I did for so long. All night long I kept waking up, amazed that he was still there and sleeping soundly. We slept that way through the night, tucked against each other's side, until I woke the next morning.

Now that he's gone I feel like, in that moment, he knew it was his time to go, and that night was his way of saying goodbye...at least, that's the way I choose to see it. He never slept in my bed again, but I am so, so grateful I had that one last peaceful night with him before he left us for good.

Cynthia Cox

Will was a cat who never met anyone he did not like. He hardly ever fussed when anything needed to be done to him. He loved being with people.

Louise Pickersgill

This is a tribute for my Will. friend and companion.

Will was a very special bunny, who brightened each of the days that I spent with him.
I wouldn't trade one moment that he was here with me for anything.
He was incredibly smart and affectionate and enjoyed the comforts it was my priviledge to offer him, like complete freedom to roam around the house wherever he wanted (as long as it was safe); a bed to sleep in if he so desired; plenty of toys to play with; and of course his favorite treats, among them were banana, apple, and carrot slices.
Not a week would go by where I didn't learn something from you - like all the creative ways you were able to escape your little play area, which I set up for when I wasn't home.
And I couldn't wait to share these stories with the people I knew, saying "Hey, do you know what Will did today ?".
I know he is at peace now and cherishes the time we spent together on Earth as much as I do.

He had developed pneumonia stemming from a nasal bacteria that spread to his lungs and is buried next to his sister, Boots, who passed away 2-15-05.

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if you have heard but mine and Chuck's best cat died this past Sunday just after 12am. He had been battling kidney disease which took a toll on his health and weight (he lost 2lbs which is a lot when you're only 6.5lbs to start). Then along came his urinary track infection and dental infection. At this point, his poor little body couldn't handle it. Saturday night Chuck noticed him struggling to walk, stand or even sit up. Chuck waited for me to come home from work and just held him for those few hours. Finally, we took him to the animal hospital where he passed. Chuck and I were very lucky to be there to say goodbye to our little friend. This was absolutely the saddest moment of my life.

For those of you who met him, you probably knew about his quirks like the "waterdance" or the "cleaning spots". Those of you who didn't get to meet him, just know that this little guy made people laugh in the most unexpected way. He loved to flirt with anyone who took the time to pet him. I guess you could say he had a "no good petting denied policy".

He is loved and missed.

I will miss the love and warmth that you shared with me over our twenty years together.
Love always.

William wandered into my home and heart nearly two years ago.
A small, starved, matted but feisty kitten. He displayed an insatiable curiosity and fearlessness, ambushing the two older cats, squabbling with them particularily the oldest Max - and yet at the same time mimicing everything Max did. He never meowed - he squeaked his pleasure or annoyance.A house kitty, he would sit at the window and dream of adventure. On Saturday he made a break through the window screen.
My sweet William,it was your mad dash for freedom and adventure that brought about your untimely end. We miss you, Max and Maughi look for you, I keep thinking you will jump out at me from your favorite hiding place in the closet, your fur still covers my pillow,your toys lie where you left them...
We send you our love- to keep you safe in all your new adventures.
Until we meet again little one.

Nila, MaxiCat and Maughi

you were much more than a dog you were my baby boy and my best freind
I miss you so much, I will love you always.
wait for me at rainbow bridge

Night night God bless x

Dear William came into our lives as a little fuzz ball.
He was from a local shelter and was ill with upper respiratory.
We worked very hard to get him well but soon after he contracted ringworm.
This also took some time to control.
Last week the kittens started showing some disturbing signs.
William was breathing really fast and the others were having trouble with their sight.
I knew what this was because I have been here before.
All of them had FIP.
They were some of the special ones that have come into our lives.
They were gone too soon.
Wait for us William and confort Leo, Vincent, Anya, Caroline and Jack who have joined you this week.
All special kittens who died too young.
We love you and will see you when we get to the rainbow bridge.
Love, Denise and Stephanie

Willie you were my 'Sweet Girl'. Your personality would light up a room and the joy you gave us each day with your funny bunny hops in midair will never be forgotten. You never asked for much yet you gave so much love and happiness to me and Thumper who misses you very much. I know you're making new friends in bunny heaven. Know you'll always hold a special place in our hearts. Love,Mom,Thumper,Rascal,Sydney, CocoPuff

To a very special dog, Willie.....
I've only known you for a year but you have touched my heart in a very profound way.
I will surely miss you baby. I know someday we'll see each other again.

Till then, rest in peace baby girl........

Willie came to live with me when my Dad, Bill Conner, passed away two years ago.
Willie had been my Dad’s constant companion for years and we comforted each other and shared our loss.
Willie was just a little guy.
He was a mix of Jack Russell terrier and something unknown, twenty pounds of attitude.

His little body was just not working anymore and I had to let him go so that he would not suffer but my house is so quiet this morning and I feel like I betrayed his trust even though I know that is not true.
I hope that my Dad is holding Willie in his arms and telling him how much he missed him.

Kathy Toomey

We miss you Willie.
My heart broke on the ride home from the vet.
I look for you every day.
I feel you are young again, running and playing ball as we used to do.
The void is great without you.
Be happy my friend.
I Love You.

My journey with Willie, my cat, begins when I moved to my small farm in Southwestern Wisconsin just outside of LaFarge, Wisconsin after living in Chicago for 54 years. Willie was a stray that accidently came upon the farm and into my life, and that's when my love affair begin with him. Willie and I lived on the farm along with Lucy Ann, my blue healer dog which I loved very much, and the other animals until I decided to sell the farm in 2000. Willie and I moved to my small lakeside cottage on Lake Gogebic in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for about 7 months until we decided to move to St Augustine, Florida were we resided for 9 months before we decided to move back to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Willie lived the last 7 years of his life spending his time both inside and outside enjoying nature in its many changing moods. I loved my mother, and father who I took care of when he was dying of cancer. I love my daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild. The intense love I have for Willie is something very special that I will always cherish, and hold special to my heart. Willie suffered from FIV, and cancer of the skin. I had to put Willie to sleep with Willie passing away on April 29, 2008 at he age of 15 years 3 months. Willie will always be with me, and he will again be with me when our ashes are mixed together were both of us will be laid to rest in a special right of internment next to my parents, and uncle at Mount Emblem Cemetery in Elmhurst, Illinois. I want people to remember that my life has been framed through Willie for what he taught me. Willie runs through me. Good Bye Willie. I love you…..Dad

Willie was a beautiful and good natured little guy, I miss him terribly

We love you Willie and we miss you!!!

My dear, sweet Willie,

Thank you for your love and companionship over the last 10 years. I have loved you more than words can say. You are and always have been my"Golden Baby". I will miss you so much. My heart actually hurts. Life without you my beautiful boy is empty. I'm glad you're at peace my love. Good bye my Willie. Love, Mom

Willie was a very sweet and lovable boy from Florida who found really good days and years with Tom and Linda. He progressed from a fearful and shy boy and blossomed into the sweet and rascally guy.
We will miss you buddy/

Willie died today and we are going to miss him so much, he was our beloved pet for 13 wonderful years.
He was suffering from what we believe to be a tumor in his abdominal area, we made the decision to put him to sleep and end his suffering.
We will always love and miss Willie and may he rest in peace now and forever....

Todd, Denise, Lindsey, Sarah, Todd Jr and Abby

Willie was the greatest, sweetest dog ever. He brought us 9 years of pure joy and happiness. There was not a mean bone in his body. I don't think we ever even heard him growl. When meeting someone, he would wag his whole body in excitement and his top lips would curl upward into a smile. He was so happy and loving. I wish I was more like that and had more of his personality. We will never forget our sweet Willie. We love you Willie and miss you very much. We can't wait to see you again and touch your sweet soft head and kiss your sweet face! We will see you again at The Rainbow Bridge!

Love,
Daddy, Mama, Oliver, & Riley



I hope you like the shade tree Willie. I miss you but I will see you again and we will play catch. Love, Mommy.

Having a cat from the very beginning spanning 20 years has given me comfort when I am sad, makes me feel better when I'm ill, and showed me more than a cat ever could. Willie died of old age,this morning July 22, 2008, peacefully at home surrounded by Joe, Michael, Casper boy and Baby Biscuit. We already miss her. She will be cremated and her ashes will remain with us as a reminder of what a true best friend is.

Joe Fusco & Michael Wesson

5 weeks ago I put my sweet Ashley down. Nothing has been the same since. But this is about Willie. My boyfriend at the time and I thought it would be good to get Ashley a friend...so we picked Willie from the pound. It was hard for Ash at first,but a number of times I caught her licking and cuddling her brother. He was such a loving cat.After I left the relationship Willie stayed on with his dad. During those years he helped many strays feel at home. He was the man about the house...concidering there were 6-7 ferrel cats at any given time he was a saint! Tonight we sent Willie on his way. My heart is so heavy with the passing of my two favorite beings on this earth. My hope is that you Willie, will take care of your sister till we can get to you. Miss you forever sweet boy.

Carin Warner

Willie and Shasta together forever at Rainbow Bridge waitng for Mom and Dad.

The best parking lot dog ever!

Dennis and Sandy

We lost our baby Willis~and we were not done loving him. He was our everything, and will live in our hearts forever. We will think of him every day when we miss his sweet morning kiss, with each ice cube we take out of the fridge, with every ear of corn on the cob we eat, and with every precious good night snuggle we don't have. But we will always remember most the unconditional love and kisses he gave so freely.
We miss you baby. Say hello to Bubba and Shanna and Pa-pa from all of us. Love Mom, Briss, Lauren and Dad

Willow is running with sheep and bunnies now, keeping them safe and in line. She was a gentle, loving and happy corgi. My Willow, faithfully waiting at the bridge.

David Campbell

To our little Lady WILLOW, who could have thought that such a little kitten could have had such an impact on our lives, for 6 years you made us smile and we loved you with all our heart, we can't believe you were taken from us so young, but we are thankful for the 6 precious years that we had together.

Jennifer and Sandie

Willow was my beloved kitten. She didn't live very long, she was under a year old when she was hit by a car and died in the gutter outside my house. She was a beautiful wee girl with the best personality. Her best friend, my dog, missed her a lot, but I can take comfort now in that they are together playing and frolicking in the sun at the Rainbow Bridge.

Chantal Austin

We miss you.

Shirley & George

My Beloved Weasel ... You were loved and cared for. But now your in a better place.
You will always be missed my weasel.
We will meet again at the bridge.

Stacy Wilkinson

Willow was a sweet-natured, happy cat.
I only got to care for her for a little shy of a year.
her owner had died and a neighbr, who was also elderly, had been feding her, but she needed a home and the owner gave her to me in front of the East bay humane Society.

Willow had what seemed to be mild food allergies, was on prescription low-allergen food, and had jsut switched to a differnt protein source, s the usual type was out of stock.
She died suddenly just before midbnight of an major anaphylactoid allergic reaction, probably to something in her food. I am glad her passage was a brief one where she jsut stopped breathing, and very sorry to have lost her.

Judith Gips

Our cat Willow was our best friend. He was the most loving and beautiful cat I've ever seen. We miss him so much. I'm so glad we had him for the last 9 years, I just wish we could have had him a little longer. He will always be in our hearts.

Elaine and Jackie Chalmers

Willow, you will always be in my heart.
Thank you for the unconditional love you gave me for 14 years.
Enjoy the Rainbow Bridge where you can see and hear once more. Some day we will be together again so we can take our long walks and you can curl up in my lap on your blanket.

Joyce Butler

You appeared at our doorstep.
You found us.
You were persistent.
Thank you for that.
You adopted us.
You were such a special, unique cat, and everyone who met you fell in love with you. You'll always be part of our family and we will NEVER forget you.
We love you, and miss you so much!
We will see you again one day, our sweet Willow.

Walter Silverman Tim Stucker

Willy you were a once in a lifetime feline friend and soulmate.
You are missed dearly by both me and your father. We both keep waiting to see you again.
We can't believe you are gone.
Are heart aches for your wonderful antics. Please know you were the bravest purrson I ever knew.
Always handled everything with such courage and kindness, realizing we were trying to help you.
I miss you and I love you, I love you, I love you.
I pray for your warmth and happiness.
I pray you are with Yngwie, your best feline friend.

Wendy Jochems

When I hear my friends talk about the "trouble" that their cats get into, I realize how very lucky I was to have Willy.
Although he had his moments of mischief, he was such a good boy.
He always wanted to be held and carried -- either on my hip like a child, or flung over a shoulder.
Willy had the loudest purr that I have ever heard.
I LOVED that purr, and I love that sweet ball of oh-so-soft fur.
I miss him so much, and I will NEVER forget him.

Sue and Bill

Willy Bean is the most unique and amazing cat I have ever known. He and I share a connection that surpasses anything I have ever felt before. He is my best friend, my angel, my soul mate, and my son. He died suddenly yesterday after a long fight with chronic renal failure. His body couldn't fight anymore, so I gave him permission to let go... and he did, in the car with me and his "grandma" on the way to the ER. He looked me in the eye before passing and both of us exchanged the message that it would all be okay. Ever since, my world has felt completely empty, but my heart has not... because he is in it now, closer now than he could have ever been in life. I miss him more than words can say, but I take solace in knowing that he is with my always and that although his body died, his soul and our love never will. I love you with all of my heart, my little "human bean!" And I will remember you forever!

Anna Schmieg

Willy was a very good friend, he was brave, loyal and loving and will be missed.

Your little paws, your little tongue hanging of the side and your big ego filled our live with happiness and joy, now that you are not here physically our hearts are in pain. You will always be a part of us. The memories and love for you will live forever.
Thank for the unconditional love you give to all of us.
See you in heaven baby boy.
Love,
Mama, Papa, Carla, Alberto, Hanoi & Arena.

We faught together for so many years and finally I lost the fight. You had the kindest and most loving soul God has ever made and your stay here had so many painful times. My Sweet Little Man what have I done, why couldn't I be stronger, we were both so tired and I can still see the look in your beautiful eyes each time you were given another battle to fight. No more Wilson, I pray you are at peace now, but here I am alone, I see you everywhere, and I want you back so bad. There is no peace in my heart yet, I let you go and I pray that I did the right thing, please forgive me, please know that I love you more then anything and my grief is strong. If tears could wash away my pain I would be free now. I was truely your Mommy and you were truely my "Little Man".

My sweet baby boy, Wilson you brought so much joy and love to me, from the day you were born until the day you were placed in heaven, you never left my side, thru ups and down you were my BEST friend. I miss you more than you'll ever know. From your big brown eyes to your little black nose, from the wagging of your tail to the tips of your toes, from the first kiss until my last, you were always by my side. I miss and love you so very much. Until we meet again my sweet boy, know that you'll always be in my heart. I LOVE YOU WILSON.

Carrie Murray

Wilson was such a crazy, loving and wonderful companion.
He will be missed by all of his family and friends, especially Freight Train, Becky and me.

Chester came into our lives in 1996 as a shy little farm puppy that we bought for $50.00. It's was without a doubt the best $50.00 I have ever spent. I could never express the joy and laughter he brought to our lives for 12+ years. He was a vital part of our family and will be missed deeply. Dearest Chetty...things will never be the same without you in our home. I love you friend and I hope you can run now like you used to. Daddy.

Our dear little Winger had a tough life to begin with , but he loved being rescued by Melanie and became a very special member of our family for much of his 15 years.
We had to let him go a year ago and we miss him as much today as we did on the day I held him as he left us.
We know we will see him again and he will join us as we spend the rest of time enjoying ourselves together.

See you again Winger.

Melanie and Michael

My little buddy was taken away from me on Sunday, October 26. Although I only had him for two months, he made a tremendous impact on my life! He is greatly missed and will always hold a VERY special place in my heart. He will always be my first baby.

Mary

Precious small soul.
Tremendously devoted to family.
The loss will be forever.
Great missed.

Winkie was the first pet we ever owned, and was a year older than myself. When I was first born, Winkie was almost a year old and she didn't like me at all. But, as time went by, she slowly grew attached to me and became very attached to and protective of me. She used to love M&M's, and we used to play games with her by throwing them across the room and letting her retrieve them. She also had an affinity for squeaky toys, and her favorite in her last few years was a human foot squeaky toy. Growing up, Winkie was my one true friend and the greatest babysitter ever, and she always loved me and tolerated me no matter what I did. I did some things I did regret (not intentional, and always accidental - I never meant to hurt her), I'm sure Winkie's forgiven me no matter where she is now. Last summer we put Winkie to sleep because she had lived to a grand age of 15 years, and by then cancer was ravaging her body and there was nothing we could do. My dad took her for one last, long ride in the car that she loved so much, before sending her to wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge. I miss her, and I know I always will.. but it gives me solace to know that she is somewhere frolicking with Bob, Boppie, and Yoda, throwing the earthly cat-dog rivalry out the window. We love you Winkie.. Please be patient and wait for us.

Kelsey Shields

You were a great cat, Winky. You knew how to be loving, warm and friendly when people were around. You always will be remembered in my heart.

Kathleen Jones

My Inky spinky winky .(insy winsy spider)How my life desperately needed you. You were sent to me to help me through the bad times. When I found you,you were emaciated and severley dehydrated and on deaths door. The vet advised me not to buy more than a few cans of food because you would probably not live through the week. We got through the bad times and you got over your fear of me and people with lots of patience and love. I on the other hand lived through with millions of scratches and bites and surprisingly didn't need to go to the blood bank for a refill.
Needless to say I had 10 extra years ,that I gratefully and thankfully remember. My silly little puss. You would come to me when ever I called your name.Bring back the tinfoil ball so I could throw again and again and again. You loved to have your belly rubbed and loved to sleep in wesleys crib with him after he was born ,never stirring or waking him. Just sleeping at his feet. My brave little puss, you fought so hard to stay with us, but I knew when it was time to let you be free once again.I held you in my arms for that last very short ride to the same vet that very sameone that had told me years before that you wouldn't live through the week.I held you in my arms and called your name and spoke words of love and devotion to you as you drew your final breath... Your sister smokey dokey has joined you this year and you are both to be buried with me when the time comes... and we are reunited, once again, forever... I love you both

mommy xx

You are always in my heart.... now and forever.......

Kristy O'Donnell

Winnie,
I miss you so much.
I think of you every single day.
You brought so much love and happiness into my life and those around me.
You would comfort us and be by our sides when we needed you.
You were the best little dog.
I hated to say good bye to you but I could not stand to see you suffer.
I will always keep you in my heart and in my thoughts.
I hope one day you and I will be together again.
I look forward to those sweet kisses that you gave.
I miss you and love you!
Missy

To Lady Winn:
You were such a lady, and sooo smart.
I wish I could see your wrinkly lips again and your beautiful round eyes.
I know Scoot misses his playmate/mother and Ozzie misses sitting with you at night.
You left us so quickly and I blame myself for not bringing you to see the doctor sooner.
I'm sorry if you were in pain.
I hope you know that everyone came to see you and we wished you could just get up and come home. You are forever our Big Black Seal and our Angel.

Love, your family

I miss my "little buddy" Winnie.
Yesterday I had to put her to sleep and that was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
I miss her so much.
She made my life so much better.
I feel like I am alone. I loved her so much.

Missy

mommy & daddy.

Vivian & Melvin Washington

I miss her little face. I miss her “I love you” face and even her “No” face. I miss her little white toes and her rabbit’s foot. I miss her meow. I miss her tapping me on the leg when I’m eating dinner. I miss her big, white belly. I miss the little tufts on the top of her ears. I miss her air kisses. I miss waking up and seeing her walking on the kitchen counter. I miss seeing her fat arm batting at Zoe’s baby. I miss watching her little chubby butt charge down the stairs. I miss seeing her relaxing on the top of the couch. I miss her big eyes. I miss having her comfort me when I’m sad. I miss seeing her lay on the red rug in the kitchen. I miss seeing her run for the Kookamungas. The can still has her teeth marks in it. I miss her little fat pooch on her belly. I miss seeing her take care of Zoe. I miss watching her roll around on the floor under the coffee table. I miss the fact that love just oozed out of her. I miss every little thing about her.

Angela Bryan

Sweet Winnie,

I am so sorry that you were so sick. You gave us so much in the years you shared with us and we are forever greatful. We all loved you very much and will miss you more than words could say. We take comfort that you are with your sister Jersey at the Bridge tonight.
Love forever, Mommy, Daddy and Bear

RIP my little old lady.

Frank

A foundling that was the best find for us ever.
We saved her and she returned that one act many times over, teaching us how to better live in the moment, perseverance, caring and appreciation for life's small joys.
We were rewarded and encouraged by large purrs and cuddles; admonished by ever so gentle paw slaps.
Near the end, even as living was becoming increasingly difficult, she never gave up, appreciating the ever lessening tidbits of life, purring until the very end.

Ken Thatcher & Cindy Fritz

I've never met a smarter dog.

Nancy & George

Winnie was simply the love of my life and the best dog I have ever had. Everyone adored her and wanted her. I'm not sure I'll ever be right again.

Jackson Hunsicker

Beloved shih tzu boy you will be missed but always have a special place in my heart.
Till we meet again.

Love,

MOM

My beloved boy.
I cherish every day I had with you.
You will be in my heart forever.
Your mom.

We rescued you Winston just over four years ago and you became woven into the very fabric of our lives. You gave so much and asked for so little. You were our beautiful little boy who will live in our hearts for ever. I can't imagine not having you next to me every morning when I wake up. You were a reason to embrace each new day and coming home to your kisses and hugs.
You had the gift to make strangers smile and reach out to you every where you went. Sydney girl will miss you -- you were her 'little' brother. We lost you too soon but we are so grateful to have had you as a part of our family. The memories will never fade nor will our love for you diminish with time. You touched our world and left an imprint that is here to stay. Thank you Winston for every day, every moment that you brought beauty into a world where it is often lost.

Ginger Foo

Winston and I met at a Meet & Greet in July of 2002...he was 2 years old and didn't qualify as a good racer.
He was 90 pounds..huge..he had the biggest ears I have ever seen on a dog, huge brown eyes, black eyebrows and we fell in love instantly with each other.
He was very stoic and a gentleman...he always let my female go first in and out of the car and doors.
18 months ago he started to lose muscle in his left hind leg..we took him for an MRI and spinal tap to rule out cancer...he had a tumor on his sciatic nerve his leg was dying.
He was put on pain meds and did fine for a few months. In January 08 he got an infection in his toe we had to amputate...5 days after that the stitches wouldn't stay and was dragging the foot so we opted to take his leg off.
We couldn't remove the tumor it was too close to the spine.
After 2 weeks of round the clock care, and carrying him outside to potty, hand feeding him he was happy and 'running' again.
Until a few weeks ago we noticed him losing weight and having accients in the house.
We tried an antibiotic to clear the bladder infection to no avail.
I am sad to say yesterday (10/27/08) at 1030 am he lost his battle with cancer.
I could not let him deteroiate any longer right before my eyes.
I had always told him if he was willing to fight I was right there with him, and when he was done, I would help him.
I was with him holding his big ole face talking in his ear telling him it's okay to go, and to wait for me at Rainbow Bridge, he will have 4 legs again very soon and be running free like the wind once again.
He stared at me as if he understood me, laid down and took his last breath.
I am a wreck, still 24 hours later and miss him terribly the pain is almost unbrearable.
I spoke to him yesterday, I could feel his presence and told him to go to the Bridge, I was fine I miss and love him.
He needed to cross to that place and wait for me without boundries, collars, leashes and run run run....at that moment the clouds parted and the sun came shinning through....for 5 minutes then it started to rain....his soul left but his spirit is very much with me.
He used to come and nudge his head under my arm to make me pet him....I miss that.
I used to lay on the floor with him from that very first night facing him and talk to him.
He was my bestfriend....a piece of my heart has been ripped out...I know we will be together again and he is no longer in pain but its for selfish reason I am grief stricken.
He is my Gentle Giant and never again will there be a Winston quite like him.....rest in peace my dear friend until we meet again....I love you

Tracy Summers-Miller

Winston is finally with his mom, brother and 3 sisters.
He was extremely wonderfu and was a huge part of our family.
You honestly could not ask for a better dog...he was everyone's friend, all 70 pounds of him.
He was so devoted and had to be with you every possible moment.
He will be terribly missed!

Jennifer Ernst

Our family has lost a beloved and faithful member. Winston was adopted by us only a couple of years ago from a local animal shelter, but we feel like we had him forever. Winston was a brilliant, affectionate and loyal friend... kind and loving to everyone of all ages. Such a happy dog who LOVED his walks, snuggling on the couch, and giving "face-mushies".
The loss of Winston has left a huge whole in all our hearts. He will never be forgotten by anyone who had the joy of meeting him. His legacy to us is to adopt another homeless dog. If we had paid all the money in the world, we never could have a better dog than Win.
We'll never forget you, Winston. Go chase all the deer and squirrels you want beyond the Rainbow Bridge!
Love, Annmarie, Sean, Caitlin, Matthew, Nannie, and Scout

The Mahoney Family

Winston was our precious boy and magical pet therapy Saint Bernard of 140 pounds of pure love and joy. He lost his fight with kidney diseases just 3 weeks before his 6th birthday. He fought hard until his body couldn't take it anymore.We will forever miss him. He touched many lives in the five years that he was a pet therapy dog.He visited adults & children in hospitals, at rest homes, at schools and camps and brought a smile to everyone's face. He will be remembered by all.

Nikki & Larry Conkings

We are so sorry for what you had to go through.
We love you and miss you.
We know that you are in a better place. No more suffering.
In our thoughts always.

Michael & Tara

You were my best friend and fishing companion for so many years. I'll always miss you and never forget you.

Joe Hesch

Winston you will be missed beyond any words can describe. My heart and soul are now empty. I know that you are now with Joey in a much better place and you are now healthy and waiting for my arrival so we can spend eternity together. You were taken from me way too soon my baby. I Love You and Miss You.

Barry Rogerson

A purebred, discarded for unknown reasons, we got him from the APL. He came into our home, our lives and our hearts. He gave us much happiness with his mischievious, oafish antics. And most of all, he gave us love. There is an empty space in our hearts that will never be filled until he greets us at the Rainbow Bridge.

Ron & Helen Tennant

My darling baby boy... Mommy misses you so much...I cry everyday...you were my Valentines present from Daddy... we came to the humane socitey and there you were...ours eyes met right away and I knew that you had chosen me... we allways said you ran away from the circus and that is why you were picked up as a stray puppy...on the lam! you were such a ham!

I want to pay tribute to Winston,Aka Winnie.He was my boss's dog. We work at a flower shop in PA.He was the shop dog and we had him since he was a puppy. Winnie got very sick 2 weeks ago. He had IMT.He could not eat, he was so weak, Ed (Owner) had taken him to the vet and they decided to do a transfusion. Winnie seem to rally, he started to eat and do a little better.We all thought he"d get better,however it was not meant to be. Winnie loved his strolls outside. around the post office, down over the hill and to look for the ever elusive groundhog we named Howard.When Winnie saw Howard from his spot in
the window he barked and had a few things to say to Howard.Winnie had a toy called Leanna Lynx,he carried it everywhere, even when it was so old and fallng apart.One of the ladies at work fixed it, so he could at least carry it without it falling apart.He made us laugh even on days that seemed endless.He played with huge rubber bands we shot at the wall with. When we swept the floor ,he'd run under our work stations and pop out like a sea creature,snapping at the broom. He sounded like Boris Karloff in Frankenstein,trying to control himself.Everyone who would come into the shop,looked for Winnie.He also had a basketball he played with. What a sight he was with that ball. He went through a few of them. Winnie I will miss you,we will all miss you.If you see a black poodle cocker mix named, Oreo give her my regards. Love ya you little white dog.

Rose White

I was true to my word.
I would not let you suffer in pain ... I knew it was time for you to leave us and I chose to take on your pain and release you.
Be happy in Doggie-Heaven, always feel our love for you and someday, we'll come to be with you again.
I miss your barking when I come home, your sitting next to me with your head on my lap.
I miss your soft, floppy ears and your sweet brown eyes.
I miss you hogging the bed at night, too!
Sweet Mommy's Boy.

Laura & Molly

To my beautiful Baby... I miss you so much...and I will allways love you... It was so hard for Mommy and Daddy to let you go... but you were not better and I know you would have told me if you could to let you go on to that
wonderfull place where you are right now... Mommy will allways watch for the Rainbows... I love you Winston

Judith Awrey

Winston was beloved by me: his go-fer,chauffeur,
private chef, massage therapist, psychiatrist, insulin shot giver and private nurse, mother, referee, cheerleader, coaxer, litterbox attendant and sanitation worker, groomer and best friend.
He was adored by his sister of ten plus years and will missed tremendously by us both.

He was the sweetest, most loving, affectionate cat I have ever had. He needed to be touching me and weaned too early, he suckled on eyelid, neck, and finally arm whenever he could till almost the last day. He needed a blanket thrown over him when he was under stress; somehow, it calmed him to have protection, albeit flimsy. I tried to always keep him safe. He is safe now but his grieving sister and I are suffering. Every day we had with him is worth the pain of loss but it still hurts. We love you, Winston. Be standing at the ready when we arrive and save a nice place for us beside you. I'll bring the blanket.

Leslie

Winston I did not love you as much as you deserved but I loved You with all I had to give.
I will take special care with your sister Pretzel and I will care for her as you did when you were here. Be Well and Happy my dear friend.

Penny Freeman

To My Dear Little Winston. What a wonderful Dog
and Friend you have been. Oh how I miss our playing and your incredible intelligence. You
will always be in Our Hearts and Much Loved
Memories. I will be waiting for the time we can
be together once more. All My Love Mom.

Winston(Sir Winston)was our best friend and taught us many things including unconditional love. Anyone who came to visit us instantly became his friend and he was loved by all, even cat owners. As my son said he was one in a million and there will never be another one just like him. We named him after Winston Churchill who stood out from the crowd, and Winston sure did the same. In his short five years of life he shared more love than most people do in a lifetime.

When we added Lady Anne, another Westie, to our home, Winston immediatly became her nurturing brother. We got Lady from Westie Rescue of Missouri and for Lady's first 8 years of life she was a puppy mill breeder and was confined to a cage. He instanly welcomed her into his home and began her education of how to be a dog, how to play with toys and how to have fun. He taught her how not to be afraid of her new owners and how to show love and get love in return. Due to neglect at the puppy mill Lady had only a third of her teeth left and Winston would chew on a bone to soften it up, and then leave it for her. In short order the two became inseparable. Lady who is now 11 has been diagnosed with cancer, and soon will join Winston at the Rainbow Bridge. We will have Winston cremated and his ashes returned to us and Lady also at her passinng, so just as in life, they will be together in death.

Winston will be greatly missed at the nursing home where twice a month through our church's Pet Pal program, he and Lady would visit with residents and staff of the nursing home across the street from our church. As they entered the residents rooms, the residents faces would light up with joy. I also know he really loved the McDonald cheese burger we would buy both afterwards as a treat.

For both of us he would always be at the door everyday we would come home and coming home will never be the same.

Our hearts aches at his passing, but look forward to the time we will meet up with Winston and Lady again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Don and June Siress

To our Winston we miss you so much until we meet you again on the Rainbow Bridge we love you forever

Bob and Carol Wills

Our dog, Winston, was a big, happy, handsome Harlequin Great Dane and Labrador Retriever mix.
He was 115 pounds of black-and-white spotted energy.
Winston came to our doorstep as a stray in 1997 when he was a year old.
People say that we rescued him, but really he rescued us.

Life with Winston was full of fun and drama.
He was the star of many stories that I wrote, and he adored having his photo taken.
You can see some of the stories, photos and videos posted in tribute on my blog:

“Love that Winston!
Good boy!”

Lynne and Audrey

My first born son! The best dog ever, he's missed dearly and there will not be a day go by when he's not in my thoughts. I miss you boy!

Richard Slone

For the Baby Dog, the best Labrador ever, cross the Rainbow Bridge and look for JD, Trafalgar, Josie and Opie. Remember the days at Jock's Island. We'll see you across the bridge someday. Mommy and Daddy love you so much.

Andrea McDonald

I just wanted to say thankyou Winston for being my friend for 17 years. You were the only who saw alot of the good and bad times. I will miss those knowing eyes which could tell how I felt. You will be sorely missed. I hope you are having fun with your new friends and look forward to seeing you again.

Rose O'Neill

Winston,
Mama misses you so much. Child we will not forget the way that you cocked your head, barked at yourself in the television, and woke us up to get your fresh morning snack. The house is not the same without you. We will always love and miss you until we see you again one day. Please wait for us.
Love always,
Mama, Daddy, Baby Chase and P

Winston was the sweetest pup!
So much love and so much energy!
He will be missed so, so much!!
We will someday meet with him at the "Rainbow Bridge" All our love, Carroll, Frost, Princess, Chase, Aunt Nancy and all her "babies".

Carroll Hudson

Winston was my sweet loving boy Basset.
He was very sweet and loved everyone.
He loved the cats. He let Simba sleep on his bed.
He loved the new fenced in yard and the pool and he got to go for a swim.
He loved that.
I adored him. He loved all of us.
He had cancer of the throat and left us in 1995.
I was up all night with him and considered it a privilege to care for him his last night on earth. We took him to the Vet in the morning.
I thought surely I would die then also.
Janet

Our little Winnie, is not longer with us. The pain is unbearable. You brought so much joy and love into our lives. We are looking forward to the day that your memories will bring smiles to our faces and not tears. You were one of a kind, with so much personality. No other dog could ever replace you. We love you so much and know that you are resting in peace. We look forward to the day that we will meet again. Your brother Carver truly misses you and we will help him through this.

Mommy, Josh and Caver xoxoxoxoxox

It is with deep sadness that I have to announce that his afternoon (03/29/2008), I had to say goodbye to one of the most loyal friend and companion I had the privilege to ever have....

....He arrived pint-sized one cold January morning back in 1993 as a gift from my friends Bob and Cile, and he never left my side, perhaps a few days but not even when I went to FLETC in Georgia last year, he was then with me, he was with me when I gave birth, he was with me when I divorced, he was with me when I graduated from college, he was with me when my mom passed, he was with me always, whenever I was happy or sad... he was there with me to share that precise moment...
he asked nothing and gave everything away to those he loved.

...A little knight in a furry armor.
He taught me many things: unconditional love, compassion, understanding, tenderness, solidarity, and companionship.
He was so selfless and he was always so confident that his love was corresponded.
He was tiny yet strong and happy... teaching me things to the end.

For these and many more things I will never forget you.
I hope the Lord will grant us to meet again in Heaven one day beautiful and fantastic Friend.

Good Bye Winston Boy, I love you and you know that.
Thank you for sharing your life with me, my family and my friends.
You'll live in my heart forever darling.

Tina Morris & Son

To my baby girl Winter:
Thank you for being my best friend.
I love you more than you will ever know.
I'm so sorry I couldn't take the pain away sooner.
I know you are in a better place now and looking down on me with your beautiful eyes.
You were always by my side, and I miss you so much already.
I miss your purring, "making bread", and cuddling on the couch.
I will never forget you.
I love you so very much.
Love, Candy

you were a bestfriend to your dad.We will miss you

Linda Guzman

My beloved, beautiful cat with the most amazing big green eyes came into my life 17 years ago.
She could fit into the palm of my hand, and I feel in love with her immediately.
She was by my side through good times and bad times, her unconditional love never wavering.
I was so blessed to have her with me for so long - but I wish I could still have her here.
I miss her dearly, and there will always be a hole in my life without her physical presence.
She died a natural death, and did not suffer at all, for which I am grateful.
I will always have a special place in my heart where she still lives.

Diane

Wizard was my constant companion and true friend for nearly 17 years!
Traveling acr4oss country with me, sitting on my chest every night while I recovered from surgeries, and always being there for and with me.

I Miss Wizard SOOOO Much!

Fall 1991 - Wed, May 28th, 2008
RIP Wizard!

Bob Donovan

Wizer was my companion and a special friend and I have and never will forget the special way she made me feel just being by my side all those years.
She was a special friend who loved me no matter what, I always took care of her and she made be feel good.
I will never forget her.

Mary Wisneski

I've had dogs all my life, up to 4 at a time, but never have I seen another like you!
When we found you at the shelter, they told us you were a "street dog"; the name they used for dogs who never had a home.
I remember how they warned us that you might not be able to quickly adapt to being a house pet, since you had lived so long as a wild dog...
How wrong they were...For a dog who never had a home, I'm still amazed at how quickly you became the center of ours!
Your dignity, intelligence, and strength, all mixed in with your love, gentleness, and unbelieveable spirit truly made you one of a kind.
Only you, when we had to carry you in and out of the house on that silly striped sheet, because you could no longer walk on your own, these last couple of months, could still look like an emperor surveying your domain!
No wonder everyone said you were "Emperor Wizzard"!
Even on the night you died, when I heard you trying to drag yourself out of your bed, & came to you, petting your head, talking softly to you, trying to calm you...
When you raised your head, looked me in the eyes, wagged your tail, then put your head down again, and with a gentle sigh left this world...
I only pray that when my time comes, I will have as much dignity!
Scamp, your adopted younger brother, is still sniffing the front door, waiting for you to come back...
He just doesn't understand why you aren't home yet.
The rest of us also miss you so much...
We know how lucky we were to have you in our lives for the last 10 years, we just hope we made you as happy as you made us!
As I always told you: "The Wiz really was a wow!

Lloyd, Loren, Cheryl, Elliott & Scamp

wokie ,it is so hard loosing you even tho it has been two years. I knew in that last month your time was drawing near but I refused to accept and with each passing day I thought you would get betterbut in my heart I knew. Cancer took you leg eight years before and I knew it was only time until I would loose you and on that painful day in Jan. when you quit eating and looked up at me with those big green eyes as if to say it's time. We went to the vet. and I held you in my arms for the last time and before going to forever sleep I saw you beautiful eyes so more at peace and free from pain. Love mom and dad

Wolf...I'm sorry that I had to put you to sleep..It seemed best considering how badly you were hurt in the accident. I've always wondered if I'd done the right thing. If I did, I'm glad you at at peace. If I didn't, please forgive me

I have & will always miss you my dear friend & constant companion ..I pray we will meet again on the rainbow bridge when my times comes to leave this Earth

Rest in Peace my Dear Sweet Wolfie Boy.
Mama and Daddy love you very much.
Run and play with your brother Tug. And one day we will cross the Rainbow Bridge together.

WOLFGANG IS THE SWEETEST PUPPY I'VE EVER HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING.
HE WAS MAGNIFICENT AND BELOVED BY ALL WHO MET HIM.
HE WAS 12 1/2 YEARS WHEN HE PASSED.
HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME IN MY HEART AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING WITH HIM AGAIN.
HE WAS MY BABY AND MY DEAREST FRIEND!
I MISS HIM MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS.

Dorrie Byno

Wolfie, your life was way to short. We loved you every second from the minute you were in our basement until you passed in bed between us. Feel no more pain and run and play as you did before you feel ill. Miss you little buddy!

Amy Rosendale & Ken Lugo

Thanks for teaching us unconditional love

C, C, C and M Neal

I spent nearly a third of my life with Wolfie. He is the first dog I have had the opportunity to accompany on this planet from very near the beginning of his journey through his final moments and trip beyond. I will forever remember the times we spent together. Thank you Wolfie and godspeed.

Paul Young

I will miss you. The only comfort I have is knowing that you will no longer feel pain.

Dawn

For Jay's special Wolfie.

Stacey

Wolsey, the better part of my heart died with you. I can't wait until we can be together again.

Shelly Leblanc

Wolvie is what We called him, He loved his play center the most, He could sleep on it all day long, He hated going outside(He was a Indoor Cat)He would cry all the way to the vet, He loved having his belly rubbed but after a few rubs he would grab your hand and bite you,

I hope you are at peace now and out of pain, and know how much We miss and love you.

Joy Smith

Woo was a very beautiful cat that was chosen from a shelter on 02/03/2000. She had lived a life full of abuse and neglect in her early years and then had many ailments in her last years, but she never gave up. She was a wonderful fur baby and she will be loved and missed, always and forever!

Unfortunately, she became very ill at the end, and then she was accidentally hurt, so I had to let her go on to Heaven today on 06/18/2008, so that she would not suffer anymore. I am so sorry Woo that you became so sick and that I hurt you! God knows that I did not mean to hurt you and I hope you do too! Please forgive me Woo! I love you Woobie! God Bless You and may you finally find true peace and happiness in Heaven!

Woo-We will love you and miss you, always and forever!!! Love, Mama, Buddy, Smudge, Toc, Romeow, Mister Fwanklin Hamilton Meemers, Meowington, and Princess.

Woodsie, you were such a special guy.
A little tiny one that we could fit into the palms of our hands, who grew into a gentle giant that I could lay my head upon and sleep.
While you were not my "furbaby" by ownership, you are my "furbaby" in my heart along with my own sweet Brandy Lyn.
Run free Woodsie and Brandy Lyn.
I love you both so much and am so glad that you have each other.

Love,

Auntie Kim

I miss him very much.

Steve Kolwicz

The best dog in the world, my little shadow, is sadly missed.

Sue Monahan

Woody, you were a brave, loyal and charming companion for 17 years. I will love you forever and you are a part of me. Play with papa in Heaven. He needs you.

Wendy Abrams

My beloved companion, whose body failed him even as his spirit remained strong, went to the Rainbow Bridge today. I know he waits there for me to come to him, whole and healthy again.

Rebecca Fisher

After looking at three litters of puppies, I came home and said to my children, "There's something about that dog." So true. There was something about Woody. He wrapped himself around my heart completely. Something about the way he smiled, pulling his lips up like a human; the way he cocked his head; the way he always looked innocent but always had mischief in his eyes. He knew me better than I knew myself, and we trusted each other more than we had ever trusted any other living thing; completely. There will never be another like Woody. I'm thankful for each second of each day that we had together and consider it an honor to have cared for him during his illness.

Woody, I will definitely be looking for you at the Rainbow Bridge and there will be great joy when we can be together again, along with Timber, Nero, Panda, and by then, probably, Sedona and Dad and any others of our human family who are there.

You are our Joy Boy. We miss you. I miss you terribly.

"Mom"

To Our Woody Bear:

Our loving gentle bear, you will be missed so very much. Your chomping funny sounds you make when we fed you,the way you talked when we came down for coffee to say good day in your own way. What a fishin partner! Even as a puppy you were big and you grew to be so big. And yet, so loving to every child that came into our home. We never knew a dog to understand commands like you did such as when we said, "Easy" or " Be nice." You were so easy to train and always obeyed. You will be with God with out pain and you can play and pop & chew up as many Basketball's as you want. I pray you understand why we had to do what we did, it's because of our love for you. We will never forget you. I (Ray) will never forget your comfort and for you watching out for me thru all my surgeries. This is not good bye, it is so long.We will meet up again. We Love you with all are hearts and Woody, you are never to be forgotten.

Your Loving Family,
Ray, Kathi, Jahnae, Josh, Eirik, Amber and Sparky

PS Sparky will really miss trying to one up you!

We lost our precious, sweet, lovable dog, Woody
4 weeks ago, after he had battled Addisons disease & a number of added complications for almost a year.
Woody was a Yellow/White Lab & not even 5 1/2 years old, but he lived life to the fullest despite the many challenges he faced & has left us with so many wonderful memories.

Woodys big brother, Chief, along with my husband and I all miss Woody so much. Life isn't the same without him here brightening our days.
He was such a special guy & we loved him so much; he forever will be in our hearts.

In 1992 at the age of 20 I tested hiv+....my life was turned upside down with a not so good prognosis.With no viable treatment at the time i was told i had 3-5 years to live.About a month later I went to the local pet shop to buy some fish food.While walking through the store I spotted this little white puffball of a puppy in a cage.So adorable I asked if I could just hold him for a few seconds with no intention of buying him.When i held him he was so overwhelmed with joy he screamed with delight and preceeded to take a squirt on my t-shirt.I thought to myself that it wasn't fair that a dog so filled with love may go unadopted because he wet himself with joy everytime he was touched.I bought him on the spot and we became instant pals.Woody would follow me everywhere through the house.we were inseperable and we both liked it that way.Woody got me through the toughest times in my life.He remained almost completely healthy through his life giving me his 100% attention.Last saturday i came home from work and found a puddle of vomit on the floor.Two days later i learned he was in liver failure.A slow growing large tumor had completely engulfed his liver.The vet could not believe he was so strong that he didn't show any signs of sickness up til just 2 days before...I had woody put to sleep and wept so hard I brought tears to the vets eyes as well....he said woody was lucky to have an owner who loved him as much as me.

You'll always be in my heart fuzz bucket....thanks for your love.

Kevin Reilly

In loving memory of my little Woody.
You will always be in my heart forever for I loved you so much and still do.

Woodyman I loved you more than I could ever have imagined. I miss you even more my beautiful baby boy. Remember how we used to say Woody is the best boy. Love you always, Mama,Dad & Schatzi

OUR FRIEND THE DOG IS QUITE UNIQUE
HE CAN'T TELL TIME BY DAY OR WEEK.
HE HASN'T FUTURE, HASN'T PAST,
THERE'S ONLY NOW TO HAVE A BLAST!

EACH DAY IS LIKE THE FIRST TO HIM
NEW THINGS TO SMELL AND HEAR,
LIKE EVERY DAY IS CHRISTMAS DAY
TIMES 3-6-5
A YEAR.

HIS HEART IS SO FORGIVING,
HE DOESN'T HOLD A GRUDGE,
HE LIVES TO HEAR A WORD OF PRAISE,
OR FEEL YOUR LOVING TOUCH.

MY MESSAGE IS QUITE SIMPLE HERE,
AND WHAT I SAY IS TRUE,
THE LOVE OF PLAY'S WITHIN HIM
THE REST IS UP TO YOU.

SO TOSS A FRISBEE, THROW A STICK,
OR MAKE HIM CHASE A BALL,
JUST DO IT NOW TIME'S PASSING QUICK,
BEFORE DEATH TAKES IT'S TOLL.

FOR WHEN HIS LIFE IS OVER,
AND HIS TIME ON EARTH IS DONE,
YOU'RE LEFT WITH JUST YOUR MEMORIES,
GO FILL THEM NOW WITH FUN.

Wooger, I miss you terribly. You have been my best friend for 11 years. Your unconditional love and kitty hugs can never be replaced. I hope that you are not suffering anymore. Hopefully I will see you again. Rest in Peace.

Carrie

We sure miss you "puff"! Remember that we will always cherish our memories of you...

Dan & Natalie

Woogie will always be in our hearts.

Lori

After a long and healthy life, our Wookie passed over the bridge, at home with my brave husband at his side. I am thankful he was only sick for a few days and our vet was kind enough to come to us.

Kim McDaniel

We loved you so.
You left us so soon.
We miss you so.
We hope to be with you again.

Ingrid M. Spaniol

My heart aches and feels like it will never heal.

Ron Pajak

For my loving friend, who was always there when I needed him, with snuggles and kisses.

Lynne Beckham

I love you Worf. You were such a good boy. You were very brave in the end. I will always love you and miss you. You are always going to be with me in my heart.

Sean Brain

Worf bounded into my life eleven years ago and has bestowed his own havoc ever since. He's chewed my shoes, eaten belts, luggage, handbags, and anything else he could fit in that mouth of his! Of course, at the end of the day, he would snuggle up with me and sleep side by side, even sharing the pillow. He was such a naughty boy, but so darned funny being so - you couldn't help to love him. His eyes were always filled with child-like wonder and his heart was as pure as they come. As is typical with bull terriers, he was very strong. He was also never sick. So it came as a shock when he was diagnosed a week ago with oral cancer. Even so, he had a week of great days, playing fetch, soaking up the sunshine, and snuggling with me as usual, every night. Yesterday he didn't feel very good and this morning I took one look at him and he told me it was time to go. By the time I made it two miles to the vet, he was in shock. Fifteen minutes later he was gone. I held him in my arms as he passed, and thanked him for all the years of love he had given me. Life will never be the same, but I couldn't see him suffer another second. I'll miss you buddy. You really were a very good boy.

Lynn Daniel

My precious kid was taken from me suddenly. I know she's in a better place and doing fine but I'm left here and I miss her terribly. So much we take for granted I just never thought she was suffering and she was taken in a minute. I guess we all have questions that will never get answered. All I know is that I got the chance to love and be loved by the most precius cat. A piece of my heart is gone 8-20-08 I LOVE YOU WOW

Her Mom, Patricia

To Wrangler,
You were the best little friend I ever had and I thank you for all your love. The bond and love we had will carry on in my heart forever. Never to be broken or replaced. I miss you so much. You were momma's boy from the first time I saw you. That special one who took ahold of my heart and filled it with joy. I thank you for that. I was not ready to say good bye so for now I say be happy and free till we meet again my sweet angel. I love and miss you terribly, so do Kala and Lexus. Please watch over me. Forever in my heart, Mommy

Wrigley was our very special "little man".
We were blessed with being owned by him for 10 short years.
He was a wonderful mommy's little man.
I miss him terribly.

Tisha

Wrigley was a great dog for our family and we feel very fortunate that she was a part of our family for four years, until we had to put her down this past July because she was in terrible pain from a form of cancer called Histiocytic Sarcoma.
The cancer diagnosis came as a real surprise to us because we regularly took Wrigley to the vet and they always said she was very healthy and in great condition.
The problem was, this type of cancer begins as a tumor on the spleen and since it is a tumor, normal blood tests will not indicate cancer to the vet.

In fact, we had just had Wrigley into the vet in May for her bi-annual check-up.
They thought they needed to clean her teeth and would have to put her under general anesthesia to do the cleaning.
The complete a very thorough blood test panel and everything looked just fine.
In the process of cleaning her teeth, the vet thought a couple needed to be extracted which would require another trip to the vet in which Wrigley would have to be put under general anesthesia again.

After Wrigley was out for a good 4 hours or so, her vitals began to indicate that this was enough work on her teeth for now.
The vet had a tooth that was broken and several pieces were still in her mouth that the vet wanted to remove in about a month or so.
We gave Wrigley soft food for the next month, but she just didn't seem interested in food.
This was unusual because Wrigley was not usually a very picky eater.
In fact, we usually relied on Wrigley to clean up the food scraps that our 2 1/2 year old son leaves lying around the house.
I could certainly understand if Wrigley wasn't interested in food for a few days after having dental work done.
I wouldn't want to eat either.
But then a few days became a week, and then a few weeks, and before we knew it it had already been a month in which Wrigley hardly ate anything.
She had lost about 10 pounds in the past month and still was not interested in eating any food.
She did continue to drink water at least and we were very thankful for that.
We tried everything to get Wrigley to eat from different brands of dog food, mixing her usual dry dog food with the canned dog food and adding water to soften up the dry food for her.
We offered her people food including some burgers that I had cooked on the grill and fruit and vegetables because she always seemed to like that type of food.
Nothing was working.
Finally, Wrigley ate some of my people brand beef jerky and she seemed to think that was pretty tasty, but then she stopped eating that too.
One of Wrigley's favorite treats were these Frosty Paws that you find in the Freezer section of the grocery store.
This is basically ice cream for dogs, but instead of using dairy products it uses some soybean products and is then flavored with either vanilla or peanut butter.
She always went crazy when we brought one of her frosty paws out of the freezer.
She really loved those things!
But now she wouldn't even eat her frosty paws!
She just had no interest in eating any kind of food at all.

We got some tramadol pain medication from the vet just in case her teeth were still bothering her.
That seemed to help for a while, but eventually this medication would not be strong enough and she would whine in pain with every breath she took.
That was when we took her into the emergency veterinarian hospital and they put her on an I.V. with fluids and a stronger pain medication.
This helped and she seemed to be feeling a little better, but she was just so weak from not eating anything for a month that she just of dozed off in the examination room, while she was still softly moaning in pain.
This was when we made the very difficult decision to have her put to sleep.
When even the pain medication that was delivered by I.V. was not enough to help her pain, we didn't want Wrigley to suffer anymore.
The vet had been pushing for this since we brought her into the emergency room.
Wrigley had been scheduled for a surgery on Monday to have her spleen removed, because that was where the primary tumor had been discovered via an ultrasound they did on her when she was having trouble eating.
We brought her to the emergency room late in the afternoon on a Thursday, after my wife had come home from work.
We normally put our son down for a 2 hour nap around this time, but Wrigley seemed like she was in so much pain that we thought we better get her to the vet right away.

Steve Lane

In memory of Wrigley, who we had to put down about 2 hours ago. He was a great pet and loved to bark at his owners all of the time for attention. We loved him and we miss him already.

When we first got her (Wrinkles) .She flew in from Texas to Conneticut.Warm loving and so filled with life. As time went along Wrinkles got very sick.She was having seizures every month, but She recovered every time.When we open the door she was there to greet us and to go play.I got sick and I have been home for 3 mos.She would wake me up by putting her lips on my cheek or licking my hand when she need to go out.When Scott came home she would run and play like no tomorrow.
Tackling , running and jumping doing crazy stuff.She was are buddie and are Best Friend that gave us unconditional Love. Wrinkles died January 11, 2008 at 9:30 p.m. Now we come home and not pitter patters across the floor or the look when you tell her "Do you need to go outside"?It's is a lonely feeling and I know were not the only one to experience it . The day will come when we will reunite and what a a wonderful feeling that will be to hold her once again...
We Love you Wrinkles

Melissa and Scott

A friend found my wee Wu abandoned on a busy street and brought her to me in a greeting card box. She was that small. Her ears had not even started to stand up yet. She was too young to drink milk or eat food,so I bottle fed her for 2 weeks, til she could eat and drink on her own.

She was so beautiful. She was a seal point with white paws, wonderful blue eyes, a tiny vertical slash of white on her lower jaw and a Manx type short tail. She had a beautiful round head, instead of the wedge-shaped head usually found with siamese cats.

She did not like to be held, but would sit next to me while I watched TV. She would sneak up to sleep by my head while I slept. Which ever room I was in, Wu was always there also.

Forget fish, she loved red meat. When she smelled it cooking she would sit next to my kitchen island, patiently waiting for a few little pieces. When I ate steak, she would sit by my chair and raise her paw to tap me on the leg. She did not want me to forget that she was waiting for her share.

My first cat, Esmarck, died many years ago. He was quite special and I still mourn his loss. I have had many cats since, but none that touched my heart as deeply til Wu. I am absolutely devastated. I can not go into any room of my home without being reminded of her.

My other two cats know that something is not quite right. They are demanding frequent touching for comfort. They are a small comfort to me right now, but still I am so unbelievably sad. I hurt so much.

People talk of the Rainbow Bridge as a comfort place where we can envision our departed pet. But, I know in my heart that Wu has ceased to be. That is what hurts me the most. I will never see my Wu again, except in my heart and in my mind.

I miss you Wu, I miss you.

Lynne Moore

My sweet girl you will always be in our hearts.We love you. Until we see one another again our family will be whole again.We love you.

Shannon and Brandon Maas

The gentlest, most affectionate, truest companion, my best boy, my little silver-lined cloud.

Paisley George

You came to my life about 5 years ago, as an adult "adoptive-guinea pig"... you built me up and were the best friend i could ever wish for. You were not just cute and adorable, you were a FRIEND... You have always been there for me and you have always listened... You brought so much joy, hope and love to my life, i cant even find words to describe my feelings!

When you lived, you make me smile...
And now that you are dead... it makes me cry...

I still love you.
and i will never forget you!

I hope, the rainbowland exists and you arrived there safely.

Wait there for me, my friend, for one day, we will be united again, and i will hug you and hold you close, and i will never have to let you go again!

Your friend and "daddy"...

Sascha

P.S.: i miss you...



Wussy, you will always be my best friend. I love you.

Heather Hodge

Dear Wyatt,

I thought I could save you.
I thought I was doing you a favor.
We found you at a kill shelter just 2 short months ago and thought you would always be with us.
You had been neglected, shot and was unloved most of your short life.
Your story posted on your kennel touched my heart and I wanted you to be apart of our family.
You were special to me and I didn't even want a dog.

But little did we know, that the damage done to your body did not compare to the damage done to your mind and soul.
You were a good boy and oh so gentle.
Matter of fact you were the best boy EVER!
But you had one problem, severe anxiety.
So bad you hurt yourself and actually went through 2 windows.
I know the glass cuts on your feet must ahve hurt.
You destroyed a lot of things in my home and I didn't care.
I loved you enough to want to try to help you.
Quickly your anxiety got worse, and I could see a decline in your mental status.
I tried to crate you and that only made things worse for you.
Anxiety always got the best of you.
I was lost!

Not knowing where to go or what to do, we spoke with the vets office at the shelter.
We had discused our options.
1. You could be drugged into a contant stupor, or 2. You could be put to sleep and set free from the mind that tormented you.
All the abuse and neglect ruined you and us loving you only made it worse.
You wasn't used to being cared for, pampered and hugged and kissed.
I spoke with a behaviorist and she also mentioned that there was nothing really to be done.

On 01/07/08, we kindly put you, our beloved boy to sleep.
It has broken my heart beyond what words can express.
I tried so hard to save you and I only lost you in the end.
When I found you, I cried, when I lost you, I cried even more.
2 months isn't a long time but when you've been abused and then find love for that time, it's something. I hope I made your last days special.
I don't know if I could ever forgive myself and I feel like your life was wasted.
It's so tragic that people can be so cruel only to leave decent people like us to have to clean up the mess.

It will be a slow process and I will always love my sweet Wyatt.
I knew you for 2 months but will love you a life time.
You are free my beloved boy, skys the limit.
You will always mean the world to me and I am sorry that you had to go.
It wasn't that we didn't love you, or didn't want you.
We wanted what was best for you.
We wanted you to free and whole.
God bless you, my beautiful boy Wyatt, you are still my best boy!

Love,
Mommy

Happy Birthday, dearest Wyatt.
You would have been 12 today.
We still miss you so much.
We had to send Moses up to you on December 29th and hope that you both are playing together with Tanner until we can meet again.
Miss you and love you, Wy-Wy.
You were my bestest buddy and I will never get over losing you.

CJ and Lori

Wyatt was amazing, and I wish I had had more time with him. We were together for 3.5 years that just flew by.

I'm so thankful that everyone I've talked to has been empathetic and caring, because I'm really taking his death quite hard. I never expected to be this devastated.

I'm still acclimating to not seeing him at home and not walking him. He was who I looked forward to greeting after work and who I enjoyed being walked by (I definitely didn't walk him!).

It always bothered me when people were scared of him - he was a Rottweiler mixed with Lab or Shepard. But he was the gentlest, kindest dog to humans. And I was always astounded by how much he seemed to love me even though he'd had a happy, loving life with his previous owner.

I worry that when I'm ready to adopt again, that I won't ever find a dog like Wyatt. He was everything to me.

Mollie Ferrigan

I miss you already woof!
I'm happy you are not longer suffering, but my heart is so broken to not have you with me any longer.
You have been the best friend to me and I will miss you following me around all the time and your nudges to get me to rub your ears.

Karen Katsion

    Wylie was a brave, tough dog, fiercely protective and loyal to the end. He also had a wild side, I think it was the dingo in him. During the day he just wanted to be with me, we were together constantly. After dark was his time, you could tell he heard the call of the wild. Sometimes the call was so strong that no fence or collar could hold him.  
    Wylie died in a dog fight early Wednesday morning 3 blocks from home. Neighbors said it was two on one and at least one was a pit bull. Wiley died being a dog, I know he fought bravely. Nature can be cruel. Wylie died because he was old. He had arthritis in his hips and could barely run. His eyesight and hearing were failing as well. I don't know why he went out that night, he hadn't done anything like that in a long time. I thought he was finally settling down. Maybe given a choice between a warrior-dog, fight to the death in an alley, or a life of increasing pain and diminishing happiness, he chose the alley. More likely it was just a case of an old dog being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  
    Wylie was great at everything he did. In his day he was the best frisbee dog, trail dog, surf dog (he surfed on the nose of my long board), cow dog, and let's not forget guard dog. He was fearless and never backed down. Whenever a stranger came up to me, Wylie had to stand between me and the stranger. He never quit protecting me. He even kept a close eye on my friends, I was the only one he trusted.  
    I loved that dog more than anything, with all my heart, and I know he felt the same about me. He was my best friend for 14 years. We did everything together. He saved my life more than once and I did the same for him. Death is the only thing that could have separated us.  
    Wylie's pain is over and mine is just beginning. Someday I will get another dog, but there will never be another Wiley. He was the best dog a person could ever hope to have. I always felt lucky to be his friend. Wylie left a hole in my life that will never be filled.  
    Late Tuesday night Wylie came up to me while I was sleeping and licked my hand. I petted him, told him I loved him and then told him to go lay down. I never saw him again. Rest in peace Wylie, my noble, brave, loving dog. I will miss you until the day I die. And when that day comes, we will meet again and play frisbee forever.

Craig Stafford

Wylie was the best companion.
He will truly be missed.
Although we are sad, we find comfort knowing he is no longer in pain.
we love you Wylie!
Love, Mat, Donna, Connor and your pug brother, Billy Bob

This is a tribute to the "man of fur" a.k.a "the little Man".
The joy of our lives, an undisputable part of the family, and our daughter's furry brother. What a spectacular dog, my boy was.
He was loved by all for his gentle nature.
Our hearts may be heavy , but I now can see him in my mind with his big flappy yap and his floppy ear. I was
grateful we were with him when his time became short. Wylie Man, he will be on that Rainbow Bridge waiting for us, that I know for certain.
What a celebration that will be!!
He won't be alone, George, Soner and Ralphie will be there with him, and all those that follow.
Wait for me "Chum" we have so much to talk about...

Sally & Ken Smith

Rest in Peace for our dog Wynter. She lived a long life of 15 years in a happy home. Wynter is survived by her owners, Sonyee and Jon, their child, Maya, Sadie the Rat Terrier, and Cosmo the parrot. She is in doggie heaven chasing Frisbees and eating human food.
She will be missed.
