Year 2008 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "Y".

Yarrick you have been an absolutely fantastic companion, and I miss you lots. I miss your velvety ears, your kisses and your cheerful barks. I miss our walks and our playtimes. You are missed by all your friends too.
I know that you are in a better place now, free from pain and suffering.

I don't know what else to say...I miss you Yarrick!

Tommy Rantanen

Sweet Yarrow. 10 years ago I was there to help deliver you into this world. You were born on a quilt. When people who wanted puppies came to look at you and you siblings you ran and hid. Rick asked if we could keep you and I am so glad we did. You were a timid little boy. And something that happened when I wasn't around scared you badly. After Rick moved out 5 years later you shyly nudged my hand. The bond was set. For the next 5 years you were a joy. You and your step brother Merlin always picking on each other but secretly loving each other. I don't really know what caused your seizures. You and I were both so scared. I want you to know that telling the vet that it was time to let you go was so very hard. But you are with your Mama now across that Rainbow Bridge. Someday we will see each other again. Your brother and your feline family miss you.

I miss you more than you will ever know. I loved you, Yarrow. Play well, My Son.

Daddy Jay Loves you.

My Friend

Goodbye my friend.
My heart feels so heavy, knowing that you're gone.
I wish I had more time with you.
More time to play, to snuggle, to love, to hold.
You were so loved.
Reagan, Chandler and I wanted to give you a good home, a home full of love and laughter.
I think we did that.
You were always there to greet me at the back door.
You always made me happy to walk in the house.
No, I didn't know what mess you had gotten into during the day, but it really didn't matter because you were loved.
Having you jump in my lap, being so big and trying to pretend that you couldn't jump in the chair was always so funny.
I will never forget the day you jumped on the couch all by yourself.
You were so proud and had to keep jumping down and doing it again.
Then there was the snuggling.
You wouldn't settle down and sleep for the night if the television was on.
As soon as the television stopped, you would lay down beside me and sleep.
The night you put your paw on my back and laid your face on my neck will always be such a special memory.
You were taking care of me, making sure I knew I was loved and not lonely.

Yeager, I believe that you are waiting for me.
I will be there one day and we will spend the days playing and the nights snuggling.
You will always be my buddy, my good boy.
I love you and miss you so much.
Play now, play with Cooper in the fields of heaven.
Love him like you loved me and I will see you both one day soon.

Mama

Yellow, you came to us one day and never left our hearts.
When you became a part of our family you filled each of us with inspiration and a love of life.
Every day you moved forward one pad at a time and never complained.
You just wanted to be with us and never be alone again.
You will always be with us and we will never forget all that you taught us.
You touched so many lives, I know you are now with many others and no longer struggle with the earthly things that tried to hold you back.
Someday we will all be together again and I know when we see you, you will come running to us, in fact I don't think we'll be able to keep up with you.
You are our strong Yellow and we will always love you.
Love, Mom, Dad, Ginger and Monkee....till we see you again.

A starving stray appeared at my 2yo son's feet in our backyard last spring and adopted us.
He stole all of our hearts and eased our pain when
our dog Pokey crossed the bridge this past summer.
He was a spirited, loving cat with attitude -- he grew healthy quickly and became our best furry friend. He was Max's Kitty aka Yellow Cat named by my 2yo son.
I was devestated to find him this morning after looking for him all night -- he had been hit and killed by a car.
I'll keep him in my heart always, he was a true friend and a loving companion to us all.
We'll miss you little lion :(

Stephanie Ringer

He is still my buddy.

Robert Johnson

Yeti,

We miss you so very much Yeti, our heart dog. You were the best birthday present ever. Your brother Squachi misses you terribly too. Your cuddly ways and intuitiveness will be deeply missed but you will be with us always in our hearts. We will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Marcy, Frank and Squachi

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Mommy Loves you So very much!
Give Pop-pop some extra special smooches

yin , So full of grace and beautiful to watch . i can still see your dainty little features with those huge sensitive eyes. You were so brave throughout your illness and I know that you are happy and healthy now.I know that you wait patiently--good night wee baby yin.

Maureen Gordon

Ying, beautiful baby. Mama cat. What can I say? I love you more than mere words can ever express. Thank you for being my little girl. You stayed as long as you could, and you left peacefully. I will always treasure our 16 years together. You will be forever in my heart.

Love,
Jackie (mom)

Ying Yang is a cat that will be missed and will always hold a special place in our hearts.
He will be remembered for his cuddling,loving ways, long explorations in the backyard, and playfulness. He was more than a pet, he was "family". We know he is in a better place, where he can run in the grass and bask in the sun.
We love you, Ying-Yang!

Jennifer Lafolette

I honor and thank you my pretty little one for being the cool cat you were.
Thanks for being such a great mouser!
Words will never express how much I love you and I know I don't need them.
We were buds and always will be.
Thank you Yngwie
(you little booger).

Yoda was a strong, but gentle,dog. He always had a warm heart for people and loved little dogs. He protected me and loved me for 10 good years. I love him and miss every moment.

Jodi King

Yoda was an important part of our family.
Since she was 4 weeks old, we developed a bond with Yoda that lasted 11 years!
She went through the college years with us, and she was there to welcome our children to the world.
She was always there to steal the warm spot in the bed as soon as one of us got up in the morning, and there to bark and protect our family.
She was special and deeply loved.
We love and miss her, but she will remain forever in our hearts!

Kellie Ho

My sweet Boo-man:
There is nothing I can say or do that would express how much your daddy & I miss you.
We think about you every day and wish that you were here with us.
We love you so very much and can't wait to meet you at the Rainbow Bridge!

Michelle & Dave

My Yoda Girl,

You were always the bravest, toughest, orneriest kitty the vet ever knew. Well done!!! But you were always my sweet Yoda-Bear.

You weren't supposed to leave us so soon, you know. And Velcro missed you so much, that she decided to come find you last Saturday, July 26. Vellie's on her way, so please keep a watch for her and be sure to show her all the best places to lay in the sun... I'll be along before you know it, Sweetheart.

Mom

Yoda was first found on a highway when he was only several weeks old. At first he was a very shy cat, but as he grew older he became more and more social and loved attention and playing in the vegetable garden. However, in the past two weeks he suddenly became ill and the veternarian could not figure out what was wrong with him, and after vigorous & unsuccessul antibiotic and fluid treatments, Yoda passed on and is now waiting for us over the Rainbow Bridge.

Kelsey S

Love you girls you have a long life and hoepfully a good one. Gonna miss you trundling on your wheel at 2am and coming to see us when we walk in the room. Wait for us at the bridge. Love Mummy, Daddy and nana. x

I love you and miss you, Yoda. There is not a day that I don't think about you and how much you meant to me.
We will see each other again!!

Jill Kolozenski

Mising you already cheeky girl! Your little sister will miss you two, run free at rainbow bridge darling. Wait for us there. xxx

Lucy & Lyndon

Yoda where to even begin with this amazing part of my life. He used to live with my father. My father passed in 2005 and Yoda came to live with me. Yoda has always since around 6mths of life had seizures but just developed congestive heartfailure. Everyone thought he would grieve himself over my father. I took him under my wing and loved him like no other. I think instead of me helping him grieve and heal I believe he helped me. He was my saving grace. He helped me through the most difficult time in my life I have been through. He was a wonderful part of my family. I will miss you Yoda and I always love you. I know you are laying on the couch loving on daddy again. I love you

Chrissy

Carole Hockley

Yogi found us in 1994, we were blessed to care for him and give him comfort. He, in return, brought us much joy. Today he left us, and we have lost our best friend and a dear family member. We will never forget Yogi, and we look forward to meeting him and Charlie Brown on the Rainbow Bridge one day. We love you, Yogi, you have been a great joy to have and a wonderful companion, we will miss you! Momma & Daddy

You will forever dance in heaven's streets...you are in my thoughts...you have brightened my life and have given your love unconditionally...i love you and will see you at the bridge...where we will dance in heaven's streets together.
I will always remember you...we (chase, ashley, mommy, milo, ginny, bella, and all your family) miss you Yogi.
Say hi to batman, sinbad, fritzee, hamilton, tiki, noche, puffy, boo boo, and everyone else.

Nicole Medina

Little guy, how could someone be with me for such a short amount of time affect me the way that you did? I miss your quiet meow, your ever presence where ever I was and your loving laid back ways... our naps in the hammock during your short visits outside.You were taken to quickly I had our lives planned for 20 years. Although others have touched my life non has touched me the way that you did, I had to let you go but you are still here. I told you you will be together again and asked you to be there waiting for me....and I know you will! Have fun little Yogi and keep the bed warm for me......
:-(

Cheryl McCready

Words can not describe the world's greatest cat.
Yogi was one of a kind and if I knew the methods of cloning him it would have been done.
He was loving, smart, and the cutest cat we have ever seen.
Nothing or no one could ever replace him.
You will be forever missed and an emptiness will always remain in our hearts.
We love you!

Alan and Joanna Adamo

Our darling YogiBear (aka Mutt Face) left us two days ago.
We have been told it was best for her.
It will never be best for us.
Love you and miss you forever little girl.

We sent our sweet little one, Yona, on today.
She was such a sweetheart and took such good care of her brothers and sisters, and of course us.

She will be greatly missed but we know that she will no longer have to suffer with the pain of her arthritis anymore, even though she was in pain she was going to do just what the other furkids were doing, just not as fast.

In her last days the sickness we believed was cancer was just too much for her to fight anymore, along with the worsening of the arthritis, but I will always remember her last good deed, was when she and her brother Dooley & sister Dakota were left alone in the house, she laid right next to her little sisters crate to keep her company while we were gone. In so much pain, but still thinking of the others.

We know that she is now with her other brother Bear and sister Smokie that have gone on before her.

While they may show her around, she will soon take over and be in charge, once again. Free from all the pain to run and play and be happy.
We love you Yona and miss you.
We will see you again. We promise.
Lanny & Kay

See you later my sweet baby girl.

someones always there you dont have to wait

I love you yoshi.

Todd T. Prosser

The kind of unconditional love you receive from a pet is like no other love ever felt in your life. When you are sad, they know that just cuddling with you is enough, when you are angry a little kiss, or the look of those puppy dog eyes staring back at you can calm you. And when you are hurt, they always seem to make you feel better. He is the best friend i have ever had, the best friend my parents has ever had, and truly a gift from god for us. He truly was the best dog in the world, and more importantly the best dog for our family. No other pet could ever take his place. Yoshi you lived your life full of unconditional love and respect, and you left this world with the same. We will love you and miss you for the rest of time. Eternally with you, and you with us.
We love you RIP little buddy!
Mom, Dad, and family

You were the best dog anyone could ever ask for. Loving boy, true friend, comforter, you gave us some of the best times in our lives. My heart yearns for the day when we will meet again.

Karen

Our best friend from puppy to adult life. She was always so sweet and loving. We will miss her so much but we know her suffering and pain is over. She is able to run and play again. We love you Yoshie!

Carol

My sweet little man. When i went to see the puppies he came to me! He picked me! Out of 5 playful little puppies he came to me and chose me. I was always asked if I had him "debarked" He would open his mouth to bark and only a little squeek would come out! He loved everyone and had no enemy. He loved carrots and lettuce. He slept with me and my husband every night. I love you my Yoshmite! Play with your sister in heaven now. Almost a year to the day when she left us. You are no longer in pain and your breathing is at ease. Your heart is beating normally now. I will carry you in my heart forever. Good night my life long friend. I will miss sharing my coffee with you!

Kathie Carter

Yoshimi fell mysteriously ill about two months before she died. No diagnosis was ever determined. She lost a lot of weight and just lay down one evening and did not get up. Fortunately we had time to take her to the doctor and put her to sleep peacefully...God must have had need for a sweet, mischevious Princess such as she. Yoshimi, you left us so suddenly and we miss you terribly, but we know you are at peace and have met up with your canine brother Wiley, who left this earth a mere four months before. Play nice together and be waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge when it is our turn to meet again...

Cynthia Cox

Thank to your kindness for 4 years of happiness.
I will remember you forever.

Sonthakit Leelahanon

Youkihi-chan was our special little girl bunny.
She came to us from a shelter just over two years ago. At first she was scared, hostile and aggressive, but slowly she warmed to us and the love we gave her, becoming gentle and affectionate.
She was so beautiful, with soft brown eyes and unique calico fur of orange, black and white.
She became ill so suddenly and died so quickly, that the shock and pain are unbearable. We miss her so much, as does her partner bunny Momiji, and her kitty friends Minako and Ishii. We all want her to know how much we love her.

We can't wait to see you again, Youkihi.
Please be happy. You were the best little bunny anyone could hope for and we love you so very much.
You will be missed until the happy day we can finally be together again.

All of our love,
Mom and Dad, momiji, mina, and ishii.

I LOVE YOU.HAVE A GOOD SLEEP.

Sam Wong

Thank you Yuki for coming in from the snow to join my life nine years ago. Thanks for sitting on my lap facing me and with your paws on my shoulders; I could not watch TV or read that way, but it was worth it. I love you. I miss you.

Rumiko Sode

I know now that Yukon is running in the fields in Heaven with all four legs. I am sure Jerry called his name as he went into the light and is now tagging along with his dad. I miss him more than mere words can convey. He was one of the brightest lights in my life. I love you Yukie!
xo Mom

I know he is happy and whole again, we will love and miss him for the rest of our lives! I hope there is lots of pheasants in heaven! He was the best dog I've ever had the pleasure of sharing this earth with!!

Melanie D

Yukon's dedication to protecting his K-9 team partner/handler and best friend Jeff, plus the city of Novi, MI was outstanding.
His courage to endure the physical pain of his degenerative disease without a wimper or yelp, was incredible. Yukon leaves many memories of his strength, courage, devotion and braveheart, and a great deal of love, in everyone's heart that knew him.

Glenn & Kathy Ward

A brave little dog whose "mom" (first owner) i.e. my mother, died of pancreatic cancer four years ago, asked us to please please take her dog. YumYum is a character in Gilbert and Sullivan's musical THE MIKADO, so she named the dog that. We found out a few days later that YumYum was diabetic. Insulin shots day and night for four plus years. All went well but with all diabetic dogs the problems began, side effects, going blind, pancreas failing, liver failure, cancer. Sudden loss of appetite was the beginning of the end, then dog in a lot of pain, to hospital a few days ago then back home when YumYum bravely rallied!! But very next day, a one way trip downhill. Taken to the Bridge 540PM EDT yesterday, April 21, 2008. Same date, April 21st, that Mark Twain passed on, by the way, in 1910. We will never forget YumYum and the great life she led even while with diabetes. She was the best!

Davis C Bruce and Linda A Challies

My little prince Yummy. I will never forget you. Your gone from me, but in my memory, we will always be together. Please wait for me & we will stroll the lane together. I love you always.
Be good & take care of Laddie Boy & our friend Lady.
I miss you so much:
Mama

Yuri, you'll be seriously missed!
Your prompt door greetings, matter of fact attitude and your amazing sweetness were unique.
I had a cat who thought he was a pit bull.
Now I have a Russian angel in the sky.

Please enjoy kitty heaven, I will never be the same without you.

Xenia Kennedy

Yve will be in my heart forever! I hope she knows how much I loved her and will love forever...
