Year 2008 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "Z".

Gentle boy with the broken tail, we are going to miss you.
You got your name because of your tail that was injured when you were just a few days old.
It looked like the letter Z.
We loved your gentle kitty antics.
You were always so gentle.
You will be loved and missed always.

Jordann Dale and Jakob Sorensen

Tracey Speakman

Zach was my best boy and can never be replaced. He loved life, fun, food and just being himself. I miss him every moment and will never forget his smile, funny walk and the long chats we used to have. His fan club was huge and everyone wanted to spend time with him.
If I could have anything, it would be one more day with my wee friend.
Love you Zach.
Amy

A good, loyal, loving friend.
We all miss you.

Jane, Brian and Chrystal Daniels

Zack, my royal, black, sweet-tempered angel, I had no idea you'd leave this earth and this life three months to the day after Gomez did, but you missed him, I know, and you never were the same after he left us. The house is so hollow now without you there. I have been crying often to my journal (the pen takes the place of talking) so that I do not burden my friends with my sadness. I still have the bowl of water you liked to drink from in the tub. I still find your fur all over the house am glad for each clump I find. Mom and I buried you near Gomez, your nonbiological brother, so that you would have company in the earth and in your journey to the Rainbow Bridge. I am glad you are no longer hurting, my angel, but my heart aches for your absence. I was so lucky to have you for 16 of your 18 years. I hope you are warm and happy where you are now and that you and Gomez are lying somewhere in a sunny spot. Your sweet soul is missed on this earth but is a welcoming balm to other animals who are joining you and Gomez. I know you will be good to them, as you were always good to me. I love you, sweetheart.

Rest I Peace my little baby, you are no longer in pain. You can run and play for the first time in years. Have fun my baby and i'll see you soon xxx

My beloved Zack died in my arms yesterday. Zack was my best friend since l adopted him in January 2000. He was my faithful, loving companion who gave me more love and happiness than l could have imagined. Zack and l did everything together, hiking, mountain biking, swimming and sleeping.
Zack had liver problems and yesterday he died in my arms as l placed him the car to go to the ER. He gave out a sigh, you know that content moan, and then he stopped breathing.
It hurts so much losing someone l loved with my entire being. Zack you will be missed and loved for the rest of my days. I feel so empty right now without you. Through my tear filled eyes l say farewell sweetpup l love you so much!

John Donahoe

Please honor Zack who was a magnificent presence in this world for 11 and a half years.
I was privileged to be his owner from the time he was nine weeks old. Zack gave loyalty, trust and love, each with a big dose of Zackness.
Zack truly was a force of nature.
He touched the lives of everyone who knew him.
Zack was intelligent, good hearted and gorgeous right to the end. While cancer overpowered his body, it did not overpower his spirit, for which I will be forever grateful for having known.
Zack is missed and well loved by his two people, Susan and Stan, and by his half-sister Zoey.

Susan Keiser

He pranced like a Lippizan stallion. We called him our movie star. He loved everyone and would hug his 105 pounds around people.

Lorelei Bluteau

To our darling little angle.
You were with us for such a short time.
It did not take long to fall in love with you.
You were so precious.
May you rest in peace, hugs and kisses until we meet again. We love and miss you. :)

Mark & Roxanne Chapman

We will miss you...you are forever in our hearts..wait for us at Rainbow Bridge...love Dad,Mom,TJ and Jayden

Farewell, faithful and true Friend

Gwynne Jones

May I go now
Don't you think the time is right?
May I say good-bye to pain-filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be,
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first.
I fought with all my might!
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go! I really do!
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day .
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and are afraid
because I see your tears.
I'll not be far, I promise that,
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me.
You know I loved you too.
That's why it's hard to say good-bye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now, just one more time,
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.

Zack

They say a dog is mans best friend
but Zack, the shepherd took a different route,
he was Connie’s special buddy until the end.
From his rubber balls that he loved to chase
to his special spot on the couch
he had such a personality that cannot be replaced.
Such a big and commanding presence he had
but he was just a big cuddly puppy
and if u rubbed his ears, he'd be more than glad.
Zack lived longer than most, and better than the best
Now he’s in another place receiving eternal rest.

Zack,

We love you so much.
We miss you and will never forget you.
You are in our hearts forever.

Rest well.
You deserve it.
Love,
Kevin, Mary & Toby

Dear Zach,
You left us so suddenly last night, but you were in high spirits and doing what you loved to do - jumping up and barking at people walking by. We already miss you so very much - the house is so quiet without you. We keep expecting you to come around the corner. We know you are in heaven with all the bones, chewies, and steaks you could ever wish for. And lots of walks. Thank you for being such a great and loyal dog for Luke for the last 11 years. You helped him get through some rough patches. He loves you so much.
We will see you again some day.
We miss you!
Love, your family - Luke, Tinamarie, Jake, and Cody.

We know our beloved dogs greeted Zack at the Rainbow Bridge.

Sandy and Tammy

We miss you Zack. You were the best dog ever. Polite, obedient, cheerful, sweet, wonderful...

Angela Ferrari

In honor of my sweet Zack. The love of my life. Thank you for a decade of support, friendship, love, laughter, and companionship. You are and will forever fill my heart.

Taylor Heilpern

Zada was an amazing dog. She was my best friend who could make me laugh despite any mood I was in. Her favorite things were eating, chasing squirrels and rabbits and deer, running, playing hide and go seek and playing with her brother, murphy. I only had her for a little over 4 years. I rescued her from animal friends and she captured my heart on the first day. We learned how to live with each other and I was never happier when in the company of zada. She started to get sick two weeks ago. And in her last two weeks, she was the best dog I could have asked for. She died suddenly of Addison's disease on saturday when her heart stopped. it is a devastating loss. But I pray that she is chasing squirrels and running to her heart's content..and eating all she can at the rainbow bridge. I miss her and no one can ever replace her. I love you, zada.

Maria and Jim

Zah Zah,
I still miss you and I am happy to know you have Thunder with you.

Kate

Zai, we missed you so much, you
are always in my heart.
My pain is deeper than the bottom of the sea.
Now you leave me alone.
You give me comfort,
support and companionship.
I forever love you.
Many kisses from mom & dad.
Be happy and run as fast as you like.

S C Lee & Y Zhang

Zak, Came to my wife and I about 5 years ago. He showed up in the yard one day as several animals have. My wife is an animal control officer and it seems like people that want to get rid of an animal think that our yard is a good place for that. He was in pretty rough shape. His colar was embeded into his throat from neglect he was malnourished and had a respiratory infection. I being a paramedic helped my wife pull his colar free. He never attempted to bite or even growl though we knew it hurt. My wife kept medicine on his wounds for a couple of days at the shelter. I finaly tolde her to bring him back home and we would keep him. She brought him home and we attended to his needs and had a vet do what he could. Zak became our friend we loved him and he loved us. Zak part Pitbull was the most loving dog I had ever seen, with everyone that he met. He never showed any agression even with other male dogs. We also have a Lab mix Marvin. Zak let Marvin rule the roost. Zak would meet us at the door when we would return home he was genuinely gald to see us. Zak started out with us as an outside dog. One night he ran off and when he returned home it was obvious that he had been hit by a car. He was bruised and hurting. That was the night that Zak became an inside dog. Occasionaly he would be a little mischevious while we were gone. One day he even ate half of our couch. We would scold him and give him a little pop on the rear but we couldn't stay upset long. I remember when I would take my belt out of pants so the could go in the laundry, he would cower down in fear but wouldn't leave. I assume taht at some time he had been whipped. Zak was always by my side when I was home he would follow me everywhere. He was my BUDDY. Then on that early morning about 02:00 hours I awoke and let him and Marv out to do their business as I did many times. This time like many before Zak didn't return with Marv. So I went back to sleep and got up every so often and whistled and called him. The day passed and we looked for him. I went to work the next day and we still looked for Zak. We made posters got a newspaper add offering a reward. Then the next day a women that lives down the road from us told us that she thought Zak was the dog that she had come across while walking home. She said that he was on the rail road tracks. I had asked God that if he was killed to make it swift so that he wouldn't suffer. When I went to get him off of the tracks I was devistated and quietly cryed because my buddy was dead. Since his death I have had a hole in me. Yes I do blame myself I should have stayed with him.

But this is my wittness to Zak a PITBULL that most people want to eradicate the species. Even tho this precious dog had obviously endured pain ath the hands of us HIGHER beings had nothing but love for everyone he met. My father inlaw said it best."Zak would run and play as if to say look at me I'm so glad to be alive."

Zak you gave us sveral years you loved us and we loved you. I will miss you my FRIEND and will always cherish the times we had. I look forward to seeing you when it is my time to depart this world. I love you.

John Sharp

In loving memory of Zak - a working dog who passed over to the Bridge on 30 April 08. Zak worked as a security dog and was a loyal friend to Ian, through many long nights. When not at work he loved nothing more than to fish for rocks in the river. Will always be rememberd by Ian, Linda, Emma & Stephen and his doggy girlfriends Henri and Holly.

The Gordon Family

Zak was our best friend and baby. Our little guy will be forever in our hearts.

Tina Spradling

Zak Hitchye

Lived life to the fullest with every inch of his 85lbs, catching every ball, chasing every squirrel, sniffing every inch of grass and loving every good back rub from human kind....to human mom and his lab sister he was our rock, our alpha male with a large bark but gentle soul teaching humans that a good time is to be had every day...he will be missed but never forgotten....

Kellie & Xena Hitchye

We got you to be a guard dog but you turn out to be a big loveable baby that show me and the kids to love again we could not have ask for a better dog . We love Zane! Give Grandpa our love see you when we get there.

Cherie Careccia

Zap was a very good boy dog.
We loved him very much.
We all miss him very much.
Go bite Xan!

Keri and Joshua, Dara and Kate

We love and miss you Zaphod. We'll never forget you, the happiest cat who ever lived - you were taken from us too soon.

Vicky Nelson & Daniel Joseph

We rescued Zaphod from a shelter 8 months ago. He was an older cat but we fell in love with him instantly. He was a three year wedding anniversary present that my husband gave me.
From the day he came home with us our family was complete.
Every day when my husband would come home from work, Zaphod would greet him at the door.
He loved sitting around watching me cook and laying in his bed by the window.
He was a best friend, a doorman, an alarm clock and a therapist.
But this past month he'd been so sad and not eating that by the time we brought him in there was nothing left to do but let him go.
We told him how much we loved him and petted what was left of his fur.
He wagged his tail until the very end.
I love you Zaphod, I miss you already.

Erin and Stephen

My brave little guy, only 4 months old, you were so brave. We lost our battle with F.I.P. today. Your brother, Xander and I will miss you so much. Mom

In memory of Zara a beautiful sweetheart who filled our hearts with love - if only for a short time. She deserved so much better than how she was treated by some.
Some people don't know how to appreciate such affection and trust.
May she find that which she was so desperately looking for on that sad day.
We will ALWAYS love and remember you.

Liana

Rest in peace sweet boy.
I hope you get to fetch sticks all day long in your new place.
I am so sorry that I wasn't there when you got so sick.
I missed you so much and hated that I couldn't see you every day.
Dad is very sad too..we loved you Zarzy.

Barb Scotton

Zazu,my beautiful little man, my baby, my loving, trusting companion, Oh how you are missed. How I want to cuddle you so much and protect you. You were always there for me with your wagging tail,
with your beautiful,tender and friendly nature. I don't think you know how much enjoyment you brought me in this life.
I fell apart when I received the vets phone call which has left me so heartbroken because when I arrived at the vets you did not seem to know I was there for you when you took your last breath. Please forgive me if the medicine is what caused your ulcer. Oh Zazu if there is a doggy heaven you surely deserve to be there. Good-bye my friend I hope you have sunny days, running free with loads of friends.
I Love You.

Monica MacDonald

My baby lost her battle with cancer this past Saturday.
A better friend I have never known, she was such a special bird.
She taught me so much about life and love.
I'm so lost without her, everyday for 4 years I took care of her, played with her and listened to her songs.
She was my sunshine. Now, the house is silent.
Change is all around me and I don't know where she is.
All I know is she no longer suffers and for that I'm grateful.

Michelle

This is for my dear friend Jill's dog, Zeb, who passed suddenly and unexpectedly from cancer last weekend. He was a big, shiny Golden who was her best friend, companion, protector and cheer-giver. He will be missed greatly. I live too far away to comfort her in person, so I'm hoping this will help.

Holly C

This is for our Zeb who brought us joy every day.We will miss your sad face,your slobbery kisses,and your loud snoring!I know you are in a better place,re-united with your real Mom and Dad.It's so hard to let go,and I feel like I have a big empty space in my heart.

We miss and love you buddy....we'll see you again someday.

"Mom","Dad","Sister" Jamie,and "Brothers" Evan and Dakota

Zed was an ex-police dog. Failed at 12 months for lack of aggression. Taken on by me as a pet. He gave me over 11 years of love, warmth, security, friendship and compassion before being peacefully put to sleep following 8 weeks of illness. I held him in my arms as he left this world. It is a very sad time for me which I am struggling to come to terms with. Zed was much loved and although will be greatly missed, will be forever in our thoughts.

Martin Taylor

Goodbye my little man. You were loved so much!

Stephen Rule

I miss you buddy...I can't believe that after 28 years I have had you that this morning is the first that I won't see you and you won't be waiting for me to feed you...I was 14 years old when I got you,you were 4, and you were with me through every move,change in life, bad boyfriend, etc..I can't imagine my life now without you...I'm glad you waited for me and the vet could end your pain...I didn't want you to be alone when you left me...I just wish it hadn't been so sudden..Hope you are waiting for me when I get there with Bear, Yoshi and Jackson...

Deb Musselman

Zee Zee girl, you have been such a dear friend, a loving companion.
We are so sad to have lost you and we will carry you in our hearts forever.
Be free and with those we have loved and lost:and take good care of each other.

Emmie Kay

Zeita, you went to the Bridge so quickly we did not have time to say Goodbye. We love you, your smile was a pleasure to behold and we will miss you so badly. Your son Ozzy and daughter Leah are beloved by us and a constant reminder of what a great lady Dobe you were. Run free at the Bridge with your mum Chelsea, dad Wolfie and friend Monty all Dobermanns and all passed in just a few short months. Zeita was stolen to the Bridge by DCM, without warning she slipped away in her sleep. Keep smiling big girl xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Karen Brannan

You will be missed so very much, you were my best friend ever!!

Terry Martin

To our best friend Zeke....We miss you so much.
We look out at the field and woods in the backyard that you loved to walk and run in and know that your spirit still walks with us there.
Your stole our hearts in the short 3 years that we had with you and you will always have a special place in our hearts.
We cry so many tears of sorrow that you were taken so suddenly and we couldn't say good-bye.
We will meet up again with you someday, my faithful loving Zeke.
We love you!

Jackie & Glenn

Zeke,
I feel selfish in saying that 17 years together is too short, because we've had a great ride.
But I do miss you terribly.
Our family has been blessed by you in so many ways.
The way you have protected and watched over us goes beyond definition, whether human or animal.
Like the time you rescued daughter Sarah from the lake, pulling her to shore.
Nobody instructed you or told you to do it - you just volunteered.
For 17 years I have had an exercise partner.
Now I am quite lost without my walking buddy.
It has been a rough week, but then your last week was not easy either.
It has been said that "dog" spelled backwards is GOD.
I truly believe you are part divine, and I have no doubts about your waiting on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
Well done, good and faithful servant.
-Dad

Goodbye to the best friend I ever had. Your "smile" made me smile. Your passing left a whole in my heart that I don't think will ever be filled. I'll see you on the rainbow bridge.

Kate and Bill

We are suffering broken hearts tonight from the sudden loss of our faithful, loving, and exuberant Zeke, an 11 year old black and silver miniature schnauzer. He brought pure joy and pleasure to our lives. He was my constant companion through the illness and loss of my first husband, and then without reservation and with unconditional love accepted my new love, Tom,into our home. It is so hard to imagine what tomorrow, the next day, the next, and all others afterwards will be like without him. Please hold us in your thoughts as we cope with his loss. We will hold you forever in our hearts, Zeke!
Pam and Tom

.... your special angel

"Never think of me as dead...I've just gone on ahead...

and the Love you gave to me I will carry through eternity.

Keep me always on your mind by loving others of my kind.

Do not linger in your grief...just hold onto this belief...

That when it's time for you to come this way...

I'll be waiting for you on that day."

There are no words that I can write to ease the pain you are feeling right now.

You are in our thoughts and prayers and we share in your sadness.
God Bless your beloved Zeke.
Thinking of you and sharing your sorrow.

The expected is just the beginning; the unexpected is what changes our lives.

V Tougas and L Zellen

I will miss my beloved wonderful pet.
He was a loyal companion.
He loved everyone and always wanted to play.
He especially loved his annual OBX vacations with his family and friends.
My heart is breaking but I know I will see him again someday.

Maggie

I miss my Zekey... We had no sign, he just passed away. We know hes in a better place. Hes no longer in pain. but its hard to let go.. Hes been our life for 12 wonderful years. WEve been thru soo much together. People will tell you dogs dont go to heaven, only humans do.. Well i dont agree.
My mother found this website an told me to check it out, that it would make me feel better, it did her..
Im glad there is a place for this.. It helps you get past all the saddness.
Just know.
Pets do go to Heaven and when we go to Heaven we WILL meet back up.. It will be great!
Thanks <3

Tommy, Elisa, Megan, Zach, Dustin, Theo, & Callie Joyner

Zeke was the most incredible dog.
The numerous people who came to say goodbye to him was a reflection of the impact he had on other people's lives.
I wrote a list the other day of some of the memories we had of him and how he made our lives so much better- the list is endless.
I don't know how I got so lucky to have a dog like Zeke.
Every day with him was a blessing.

You will be forever missed, my Zeke, by all who loved you.

Colleen North

Zekey - a sweet, shy, always kitten-like gray and tan tabby with perfect white paws and a white belly, loved attention but never demanded it.
Polite, kind, gently playful, affectionate.
A truly pure, innocent soul.
His body gave out, his heart shines always, with the softest, purest light God can bestow.
He has been the best gift and companion anyone could ask for, an angel beside me.
And he is with me until I am too am free of this body and join him and his brother Gabe, where there is no pain, only soft fur and contentment and joy!
Words cannot express my gratitude for your perfect gift.
Go on in peace, sweet, soft boy, my angel.
Love, Deb

ZELDA MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY AND MEMORIES A LANE I WOULD WALK UP TO HEAVEN AND BRING YOU HOME AGAIN.
GONE TOO SOON BUT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

Farah Jaffar

Dearest Zelda,

May you have the love and happiness you gave us on earth continue for you in heaven.
Remember us until we meet again.

Mom and Dad

Zelda, I love you more than anything else in the entire world. I miss you. I don't know how I can go on without you. I won't see your little face at the window. You won't greet me at the door every day after work. You won't sleep next to me in bed. I can't believe I will never hear your beautiful, pretty purr. Oh God, I hope I do hear it again and hold you in my arms. I must believe this, or I will go mad. You were my baby. My Zeldapie.

Kristin

You were my girl Zellie. Thankyou for being you, you made my life complete.

Lyn Johnson

Our hearts are so heavy over the loss of our dear friend. We know we will all meet again one day.
Thank you dear Zelda for nearly 13 years of unconditional love.

Eleanor

zela was one of those dogs that could read your mind and resond with so much love.

Therese Radtke

I'm here to write about my Zen.
I got Zen when I was going through a hard time in my life and for a long time it was just him and I.
Then I met my husband and we were a happy family.
Just 3 months ago, Zen was diagnosed with diabetes.
We administered insulin injections 2 times a day ever since.
We took him in weekly to have his glucose tested, however his body didn't respond to the insulin nor did it respond to the diabetic cat food we fed him.
His glucose level was over 600 the last week we had him and wasn't changing.
The Vet mentioned initially that his white blood count was extremely high as well, and thought maybe there was something else going on.
The week before we had to let him go, the Vet said he was almost certain that Zen had cancer.
He hadn't been doing very well and we knew he wasn't feeling well, so we made the very hard decision to let him go.
Now I know he's at rainbow bridge.
Thank you for having this site, it's important for us who are grieving to know we're not alone.
I wish you all the best.

Summer M

Zen,

I can't get your haunting eyes out of my mind
Your happy go lucky running
Your lovely little walk
Your ability to sleep through anything
Your snores - they sure got louder the older you got, but, to me, they were like music to my ears.
Your nails clicking on the hardwood floors
Your dopiness :)
Your inability to even know that you were being held, cuddled or kissed,
You seemed to just be in the zone in the end.

It breaks my heart to think of having to make that decision
It makes me so sad to not have you in my life anymore.
I feel such a sense of peace though that you are not suffering, confused at night, not knowing I was even there for you

I'm glad you finally cried out to let us know that you were lost and confused, we didn't really recognize it before.

You were running through the yard the day you left us and it was wonderful to have a couple days with you before we took you in for your appointment.

We took care of you and loved you until the very end

Thank you for the eye contact that we had moments before we let you go, which gave me peace.
I always thought you were a little comedian, your running right past the door to the vet's before having that final appointment was bittersweet, you made me happy until the very end.

I will never forget the love and fun that I had with you and felt with you

Our love was strong and pure, I loved you with all that I am and was.
Nothing ever required so much from me that I so willingly and openly gave.

There will never be another Zen in my life.

I'm so sad that you had to leave, it was a great 15 years, I will always treasure my moments I was honored to have with you

It has been almost three years and I still have problems not feeling like I betrayed you,
you trusted me and I planned and even paid for your precious little life to be snuffed out.
Nothing has been harder in my life, but, I have always believed as hard as it was and as painful as it was for me, that I made the right decision.
I’m glad I was there with you in the end, holding you and talking to you in the end, seeing you slip peacefully off gave me a great sense of relief.

I love you and will always hold a very special and dear spot for you in my heart.

Mommy

My Zena was the best cat.
She was like a child to me.
I took the best of care of her.
I got her from Save Our Stray in Connecticut.
She picked me when I went there I did not pick her.
Now she is in the big Cat house over the rainbow.

Maggie Salamon

Zena is my litle girl. I love her very much. She loved all people. I will love her forever and I look forward when we are together again.

Barbara

Today we lost one of our Danes.
Zena, Mom and Dad love you so much.
Our hearts are breaking right now. We know you have crossed the bridge and are playing with Mavric and Bruno.
Know we will never forget you.
You were a great Moma dog.

Jim and Davina Brown and Children

To my beautiful Zena girl
your my best mate.. I've known you as long as I can remember and I'll never forget the times we had, your the best friend i could have asked for.
I'll love you forever and ever.
love ya girl
xoxoxo

we'll miss you.

Hayden Green

Zena girl came to us as a horribly abused 10 month old puppy.
She had been beaten to within inches of life.
My husband and I commited to loving her to death and to not let her suffer any more.
We promised her and each other that once the hurt got to be to great, that we would let her slip away to a painfree existance.
We miss her terribly but I know that it was the only thing we could do.

Roxanne

You were the last of the 'pack',Zentu,atrue handsome,arrogant,loving shihtzu,almost human,i will miss you foreverxxx

Carole Hockley

Dearest Zephyr,

We knew how much you struggled those last few weeks.
Getting you to eat anything at all was a huge success.

We had prayed for a mild winter because you had struggled so the winter before and the day you passed was warm and sunny and a cloudless blue sky ... the color of your eyes.

We knew it was time and you went peacefully in my arms.
A part of me went with you that day.
You will forever be in my heart and I feel your spirit close.
We miss you so.

Dianne

See you at the Rainbow Bridge my true love.
Thank you for all your love and affection.

Mady Lund

You were a fighter.
You fought hip dyspasia, arthritis, knee surgery, adrenal cancer and steroid myopathy.
Your will to live was strong.
The stomach cancer proved too much.
I loved you enough to let you go.
I will always love you and you are always in my heart.

Betty Brandt Williamson

To Zeppo,

You were my best friend and constant companion for 16 years- almost half my life.
We adored each other.
You were such a special cat and extremely intelligent.
Everyone loved you.
You were so brave not to show me your sickness until the very end.
The cancer must have been miserable, but you put on a bright face for me until the day you died.
I will never forget you, my friend.
I will never forget your generosity, and the love and lessons you have left me with for a lifetime.
I am already waiting for the day we will be together again.
I miss you so much I can hardly bear it, but I thank you for your years of devotion and the brightness you brought to my life.
I loved having you for my cat, we were a perfect match.

Until we meet again, Pook...be free & happy, and come visit when you can.

Love, Mom

We love you and always will, you were taken unexpectedly and we never got to say goodbye, bye for now spotty one hope you meet Ollie at rainbow bridge....

Nicky and Jamie Thomsett

I miss you little buddy, my heart is broken with out you.

Barb Kiebert

You left us so suddenly. We never dreamed it would be. So hard.

Matt Barker, Amy Resch, Kalman Bailey

My Amazing Zeus,
We love you and miss you so very much.
You had such a gentle and loving spirit.
We did everything we could to give you a better life when you came to live with us. I wish we could have had you when you were a puppy, maybe you would still be here if you had been taken care of properly from the start. You were in such bad shape when we got you, but we nursed you back to health and you were with us for almost 4 wonderful and happy years. You were found wandering the streets after Hurricane Ivan, a scraggly little guy of 3 pounds, with no teeth, a raging infection, and sores on your beautiful little body.
I can't imagine that someone left you out in the storm.
Once you came to us, you knew nothing but love.
You slept in my bed every night and I fed you with a spoon.
You had the best vet care and prescription food and medicine for your heart and kidneys. I sang songs to you, we cuddled in front of the TV, and I carried you in my arms everywhere I went.
We shared a very special bond.
I will always love you my little "Zues-er-oni macaroni" and I will never forget you.
Your ashes are in a beautiful bronze heart next to your picture are where we can see them all the time. It's been almost 2 weeks since you left us and we are still crying every day.
But we know you had to go.
Your poor body had endured so much and just couldn't do it anymore.

Run free baby boy, run with the wind and chase the butterflies.
Your pain is gone now and that is the only thing that gets us through each day - knowing that you aren't hurting anymore.
Juliette, Kira, Nala, Meg and Rika miss you too.
They are looking everywhere for you.
Dr. Holly cried when I told her you were gone.
She loved you too.
Everyone who met you loved you and knew what a very special little boy you were.
Sarah came to sit with us and talk to you and Diana came to comfort us and help us through those first hours after you were gone. What I wouldn't give for another chance to feel you lick my face and lay on my chest. To run my fingers through your beautiful silky hair. I am so lost without you.
I come home and expect to see you sleeping in your soft comfy bed.
When I take the others out in the yard, I sit on the swing alone, instead of with you in my arms.
I love you my Amazing Zeus.
I hope you are sitting on Mt. Olympus, like you told Sarah you wanted to do.

Love always, Mommy

Ziggy,
you were special.
RIP Old Friend.

Ronald Eva

Bruce, Jami, Zack & Hunter

My furry child I miss you so, so much. You were my best friend. You will always be Mama's little big boy.
Words fail me baby boydog (all 160 lbs of him lol) I had to let you go. Your body failed you: long before your heart and soul;just like the rest of us wondering what in the (!!@#!$%ing hell) the years are doing to us. I hated the confusion in your eyes when your legs would not do what you wanted them to do.
That wasn't the way for you to live my beloved fur baby.

Melody Clayton

Zeus we want to let you know how much we love you and will always miss you.
Our house is soo empty now without you here.
I would give anything to hear your footsteps on the floor and your tail like a stick when you would wag it against the floor.
You were the best dog to the kids, there will never be another like you.
We will miss the times at the beach playing catch
with the stick out in the water.
You were such a good swimmer.
You were always a puppy at heart, such a big baby.
You will always be out sookie boy, our Zeusie boy.
We can't wait to see you again.

boys boys boys,,,ure just one bad little puppy,oh yes you are my little snicker,,,dad
Love you boy.

In loving memory of our boy.

Please say a prayer for my angel, a black pug who made me smile every day for 15 years.
It is so hard without him, both for me and his sister Maggie Mae.
I have to believe we will be together again.

We will miss you forever.
You were the best dog in the world!

Goodbye, and rest in peace my baby boys, you were loved more than words can tell.
I hope you loved me just as much as I loved you in our short time together.
Enjoy the Rainbow Bridge and I hope to see you there someday.

Adam

In loving memory of the best big dog in the world. Mommy and Daddy will hold you in our hearts and miss you forever. Life will never again be the same without you here. Our hearts are broken and our house is empty but we know this was best for you. We sent you to the Rainbow Bridge to end your suffering. Please wait there for us and we will see you again. All our love goes to you, our Angel Rilla.

Stacy Laughlin

Zeus was a beautiful, wonderful pet for myself and my 8 year old daughter.
I adopted him from the welfare society and did not have nearly enough time with him. He was a lovely gray with striking blue eyes. I held him until he passed and still cry for hours hoping he knew even at the end how much he was loved. We miss him dearly and know that he is not suffering any longer for he is in a better place.
We love you Little Boy and someday will see you again!

Love always Mommy and Faith.

Zeus was my best friend. I'll remember all the times with him. He loved going for rides in the car/truck. Zeus, I miss you so much....

Joseph Tomaso

Goodbye to our Big Guy Zues......
You brought such joy to our lives, our hearts are empty and sad without you.
You left us so very suddenly, we are so sorry that we could not protect you from your stomach flipping.
Our lives will never be the same without you.
You were a "big" little boy whose life was cut too short.
Remember what we said to you as you passed, we love you and will always miss you. We know that you will cross the Rainbow Bridge and Harley, Bjourn and LP will be there to welcome you in.
We know that you are in the greatest of company with our beloved pet family members.
We know that one day we will be reunited and be a family again, until then Zues eat all the food and cookies you want, drink all the water you can, play with all the dog toys and softballs that you want, chew on all the water and soda plastic bottles to your hearts content, and most of all know that you were our very best friend and you were loved.
Goodbye big guy, one last wag of your crazy sweeping tail, one last drowl and most of all kisses and hugs till we meet again.
Goodbye Zues........

Love your family, KC, Margo, Evea, Randi, Kaitlin, your sister Cheyenne and Kiki.

Hommage pour mon rat zezette déja sur son nuage de gruyère. Désoler de ne pas avoir pu te sauver,

Zia was my angel.
She was my joy.
Even though she was a special needs dog, Zia always seemed to care more about my needs than hers.
Even in death, Zia tryed to hold on for me, but painfully, I let her go. How will I go on without my precious Zia?
I will gain courage from how she handled all her special needs and how in spite of them she loved life and gave so much to all who knew her. Zia is my angel.

Chris Winkler

Thank you for;

To my sweet Ziggy,

I miss you so much. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you.
You were the best friend a human could ask for.
Your babies miss you too. I know that you look out for them and protect them. It won't be soon enough for me to meet you again on the Rainbow Bridge.
I Love You.

Nadezda Lolin

Zha Zha was a beautiful silver shaded white persian.
She was the most gentle, loving girl that ever lived.
She had high blood pressure which eventually led to her demise.
She had been dumped when I found her.
I was lucky to have her for several years.
I will miss her clam demeanor which she always brought me so much comfort in my life.
I don't know how to go on without her.
Good bye my wonderful little girl.
Mommy will see you again some day.

I will love and miss Zi FOREVER. It eases my mind to know that he will be waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge when my time comes. Rest In Peace my friend.

Ziek was a very special animal to myself and lots of other people! I work as a vet tech and he practically grew up at the hospital. He is very well known in our area and had become very popular with the clients. Aroud the age of 1 1/2
he had his front left leg amputated for fear that he had cancer in the humerus bone! After the test results came back it was found that he actually had contracted a fungal diease called Histoplasmosis. This diease is usually located in the Mississippi region and not in Florida where Ziek had lived his entire life. To the knowledge of the vets in our area no animals have been diagnosed with 'Histo' in Florida! Histoplasmosis is a treatable disease if diagnosed in time. Unfortunately it was not caught in time for Ziek! He was given 3-6 months to live from the date of his surgery which was 10-08-07! He passed on
09-04-08. Ziek will always have a huge chunk of my heart and will forever be missed! Thank you for your thoughts and this wonderful website. I will be sharing with our clients!

Amber

Zig, you will always be so loved.
Thank you for the healing influence you had in our lives.
See you someday on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
Love, Christy



Ziggy, you are the best dog anyone could ask for.
I have been blessed to have you in my life for twelve wonderful years.
Thank you zigg for everything you have done for me and Addison.
Jazz and you are now in heaven together.
NO more pain zigg.....no more lonlyness for Jazzy.
I hope you two are running and playing...don't pick on her too much..you know she gets mad at you!
I love you two always...you looked so peacefull last night....

Melissa

Rest in peace my beloved kitty. We had the privilege to love you and be a memeber of our family for 17 years.

Eleanor

Goodbye my sweet little boy.

I hope you two will enjoy many carrots together.
Goodbye my little friend.

Eric and Kristina Neibecker

Ziggy - Even though you were only with us for a short time here on earth, you filled our lives with so much joy and happiness that can never be replaced.
We are missing you so much; our hearts are aching.
You were the light of our everyday life.
To be without you everyday is so heart wrenching. Right now, it's impossible for us to fathom getting through the days without you.
We love you so much Ziggy & will miss you forever.

Tony & Ricke Gilnett

Very loving and devoted pointer,husky/shepherd mix. We love him dearly and he is already greatly missed. Until we meet again Zig!

Ruprecht Family

We are still numb from our loss.
Ziggy was a part of us and we feel like a part of ourselves died with him.
Ziggy was the light of our lives and we are better for having him in our lives.

Patti and Dave

Our beloved Ziggy.
You left way too soon.
We are lost with out you.
This is the hardest thing we have gone through.
I just don't know if I can do it.
You loved us so much, and showed it every day.
You were so, so special words can't explain what you have meant to us, and all the things we will miss about you.
We have so many precious memories, that you will never be forgotten.
There will never be another you1
Love you forever and ever
Momm and Daddy

Ziggy was my beloved, ever dreamed for perfect companion pet. He taught me how to smile and laugh everyday. We walked every morning in sun, rain, and snow. He nibbled my ears. He barked at pots and pans. I underestimated his lively animal spirit and one evening, when going out on his routine "business" he never returned. Long story short, a preditor got him. Life changed in an instant. Broken hearted I miss him and continue to learn from the Love he brought into my life

Beth Masterman

He will always be loved and remebered. I love you Ziggy!!

Amy Sanders

To our family pet Ziggy we all miss you terribly.You brought us so much joy for 15years.Your pain is now over my beloved friend take comfort in knowing your family will go on loving you always may you rest in peace Love mommy, daddy, Caitlin, Madison and Conrad

Ziggy, my dear friend, dear companion and mentor. Paw print on my heart.
I look forward to when we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.
Until then, I miss you.
Play hard, run fast, now that you have shed the pain and disabilities of this life. I promise to share all you have taught me with another fur baby.
I will not waste those wonderful years.
Love always,
Your human Momy

Zima, we all love and miss you, but Kona is there to welcome you so you both are not alone, Play well together on the bridge *S*

Lorraine E Ryan

Zion,

This is much overdue.
You have been gone from me since September 2006, and I am now just getting to writing this tribute for you.
I hope you and Jessy are having fun at rainbow bridge.
You were the only cat I've ever had and I loved you.
You were by my side after Jessy passed and I dragged you across the country many times and you never seemed to mind.
Trenay and I talk about you all the time.
I am happy you and Jessy are together.
I love and miss both of you.

Kelley

Dear Zip, your now with Rupert and Haylin, they will take care of you til we can all be together again. I miss you so so so much my Bubba.

Toni Litwin

Thank you, Zipp, for the wonderful memories we've shared, they will go on in my heart!!

Nancy Suderman

I lost my very beloved Jack Russell Terrier early this morning to a disease called IMHA. My heart is hurting so bad today that I can hardly stand it.

Marie High

Zippy I will love you for all eternity. You and me will cuddle and flirt again one day..you were so so so special and my whole body aches to have you here.
God Bless you Bobs .... I love you so much xxx

Sue Pearson

Zippy was a wonderful sweet boy that never had anything but love to give.
He was huge at almost 22 pounds but never let that get in the way of sitting on my lap at the computer, or cramming into a box to play with my son.
I never set my alarm clock in the 13 years he spent with us, because he always knew what time breakfast should be served.
I miss him terribly.

Sheila Schneider

My baby Zippy.
We loved you so much and will miss your kind heart every day!

Niki Gemar

You will be missed here, but shall forever be remembered in our hearts and minds.

Matt and Linda

Zippy - the first dog I ever owned. Came to me aged 6 weeks. It was love at first sight.
A fabulous dog.He loved to chase his ball endlessly, he was a joyful dog, showing it in the way he ran, walked, played. When my new puppy arrived he accepted him without question or malice. Accepted the love we gave the new one, and was willing to share us. He loved to sit by the fire. He would always look up at the beginning and end of Eastenders with the drum roll. He would howl along to the horn section of Antiques Roadshow music. He was always friendly to other humans and dogs.
I loved him with all my heart and thought I would spend many many years with him. But it was not to be. My strong dog coped with chronic failure until the symptoms became apparent on 30/12/2007. My world turned upside down with the diagnosis and I knew time was short. I was given 10 days with him after he came out of vethospital and I showered him with all the love I could.
My dear Zippy, I will always love you and cherish you. I will always be grateful for the 4 short years I was blessed with you. I will never stop missing you. Thank you for being the most wonderful dog I could wish for.
Button sends lots of doggie cuddles and woofs. I send you all my love and will see you at Rainbow Bridge one day.

Wendy Stewart

Zippy was a loyal and wonderful companion.
I miss him terribly.

Mary Jo Reed

My precious, darling angel-bunny, Ziven. From the moment I first saw your name and photo on the Internet, I'd fallen in love with you. This beautiful white boy with the big head leaping out of his cage with the description that read you had been left outside without food or water and a "free" sign on it. I always told you that you were priceless.

Despite your tough-y personality when we first brought you home, you made us laugh and we forgave all that you did. You came alive when we introduced you to Mary. She showed you how to be a bunny...eating greens and how to love. She loves you very much.

I was more than devastated to learn about the lymphoma; I cried a million tears but vowed that I would do whatever it took to keep you comfortable and content with whatever time we had left together. You survived nine months despite them saying you would only have one. It's never enough time but no matter how hard you were beaten, you always came back, showing everyone what a brave and strong little soul you are. Everyone who knew of your story was inspired by your courage. Hardly a creature in this world suffered so much and took his medicines so well; it made me feel that you knew I was helping you. I am so sorry that you had to go through so many bad days. No kisses, no tummy-rubs, no treats could ever make up for them and you deserved none of it. I know that despite those bad days, you still wanted to be with us, forgiving us for all that we were doing to you. You came back to me when I asked you to my little angel but your body could hold out no more.

You are the brightest, most special little star I've ever met, my handsome boy. What I told you was always the truth...you are my favorite...you needed me the most...You were Ziven. I will always cherish all of our memories. You are free now my little one and I can't wait to hold you in my arms, snuggle your fur and kiss your sweet face...you always smelled so good. I will see you again but until then, have wonderful romps through the meadows with lots of friends, chomping on papaya and bananas all the way. We all love you so much and forever will. It will never be the same. Mommy (Colleen), Daddy (Nestor) and Mary



We'll love you forever!!

Monika Yehle/Dan Bagrow/Jim Bagrow

A bright new star was born on November 19th 2008
It has been named by all her friends on earth as Empress Zoe's star.
RIP my angel
Love forever
Mum and Dad xxx

Although I didn't have her for very long, she touched my heart like no other pet I have ever had.
It will take many years and many tears to be able to move on.
I love you so much my Zoebug - wherever you are, please be happy ....

Julia

Zoe was the smartest, most loyal dog. She endured many illnesses through her all-too-short life, but was a fighter to the end. Even though she has been gone for months, I will never get over her loss. She meant the world to me. I tear up whenever I think of her and all the good times we had together. My family has always had dachshunds, but she was the most special of all. It truly broke my heart when we had to put her down at age 10, but she was suffering terribly from advanced cushings. Despite the passage of time, my grief has not eased and I don't think it ever will.

Bob Lowry

I miss you everyday Babygirl. Momma loves you and misses you every day.
You were the best cat in the whole wide world.
It's been 9 months and my heart is still broken.
Til' we meet again...

Maryellen

Our foster furkid, Zoe passed away.
Her kidneys were going into failure and we had to do the most humane (but hard) thing.
She is in no pain now and with her half sister, Krissy.
Rest on, Zoe.
We love you. XOXOXO

Zulcosky

You will always be in our hearts.
Go free, little one, to chase as many deer, squirrels, rabbits and skunks as your little heart desires!
Lie in the hot sun and get as many tummy rubs as you can handle.
You are now our little angel and we hope to follow our dreams as wholly and relentlessly as you followed your little nose your whole life!
We love you, be at peace.

Angie & Mark

Zoe, we miss you so much.
You put up such a good fight against the horrible disease that took you from us far too soon.
I am so proud of you.
I'm so sorry that we couldn't save you.
Your love will forever be with us and we will meet again.
I love you my pretty girl.

Wendy

Zoe,
I can't put into words the pain I feel with your loss.
Momma misses you soooo much.

I keep looking for you to come around the corner of any room in the house or especially, it breaks my heart not to see you jumpin' up n' down at the front down upon my arrival from anywhere.
I miss snuggling with you at night and throughout the day, I miss our long quiet walks.
My hearts hurts for you.
I can't wait until we see each other again at the Rainbow Bridge, I'm going to hold, hug n' kiss you and never let go.
I love you,
You'll always be "mama's lil' punkin' pie, her is"
Mom

She had spunk, humor, courage.
Loved to eat, pretend hunt, go for walks. She once got so mad that her Mom and Dad went on vacation without her that she tore up a brand new mattress. Actually dug a hole right through to the springs. But she was sweet and loving and I'm glad I spoiled her.

Theresa and Ron

My little baby Z-Face. What an amazing fight you put up! You were resilient through it all sweet girl. Thank you for giving me 9 years and 11 months of unconditional love and memories. You were the best dog ever (but don't tell your littls sister that!). You are now free from pain and suffering and now your little sister, Belle can bite your face all she wants. We love you and will miss you Z. Until we meet again at the Bridge, you will always be in my heart. Loves.

Angela & Andrew Brown

Zoe - You were the greatest joy I have ever felt in my 35 years on this earth.
I loved being your mommie.
Know that I will miss you every single day until the day we are reunited back together.
I want you to take good care of Grandpa and Grandpa and all of the other loved ones we have had to say good-bye to.
I am not real sure what I am to do now that you are gone...... but I can promise you I will do my best to carry on.
I know you didnt like it when mom cried but right now my heart is broken in a million pieces without u here.
I hope your knee is feeling better now.
Baby, you run those green pastures and wait for me.
I will be there..... I love you Red!
Aunt Lisa loves her lil Monkey and AC loves her little Princess.

Love,
Mommie

Zoe you were the light of my life and I hate not having you here with me.
I am so sorry that you got so sick and I didn't even know until it was too late. I tried to do all that I could to save you but unfortunately it was not enough.
Life without you is so hard and it is taking everything I've got to get by not seeing my lover girl each and everyday.
I know someday we will meet again and be together forever but until then I will carry you with me in my heart.
I love you and miss you dearly.

Nicole Albano

Originally a convicted felon picked up by Animal Control, Zoe came in to my life in February 1997.
The most social cat I've ever known - she made a better party hostess than I at my own parties.
Zoe knew my car when I lived in a second floor apartment and would greet me from the screen patio.
Later, when I got a house she would greet me at the door.
Zoe stole off my vegetarian plate more than any dog, and was given first dibs on licking my plate after my dog came in to our lives.
If she felt it was time to get up, Zoe purred very loudly in my ear and rubbed against me.
When that didn't suit her, tiny claws would come out at bat at my face - haha!
I love my baby girl SO MUCH and just want to lie down beside her for so many more naps.
I know she is still around me, but it hurts to not have her watch me shower, or dry my hair.
It was an honour to be Zoe's human and I await the day we are reunited.

Marion

Zoe was the best friend anyone could ask for.
She lifted my spirits everyday.
I admired her loyalty, her dignity, and her lady like demeanor. She posed for pictures like a movie star.
Her beauty and sweet heart will never be forgotten.I loved her very much.
There just aren't any words that adequately convey my feelings for her.

Melissa Gardner

Zoe, Mommy misses you so very much. I know that you are in good hands and are feeling all better now. My heart aches for you and sometimes mommy cries because she can no longer hold you and give you kisses. My sweet girl we will meet again someday when the time is right. Mommy loves you sweet Zoe girl!!!



Zoe I miss you with all my heart!

Woody

To our beloved Zoe, we miss you so much but we know that you are in a better place.
You will always have a place in our hearts.
Love Always, Momma and Dadda

Truly my best friend. We did it right. No regrets. A great 16 years. A piece of me gone forever, a broken heart to heal, desperately tring to feel you with me. A neverending love and grattitude for you, my prescious gift.

Diana

Zoe’s story all started when I searched on Petfinder and found a posting for a female cat named Marty. Well, my favorite NHL hockey player is named Marty so I knew I had to read on. The posting said that she was a maine coon mix, was malnourished, and had all but two teeth removed.
She also loved to paw or as the posting said knead biscuits. I fell in love with her story and her photo...she was so pretty. The first moment I saw her, I knew she had to come home with me with those beautiful eyes, cute pink nose, gorgeous silky coat, stunning black markings, and precious meow. Actually, she never meowed, she screamed, and I thought that was so sweet. I named her Zoe. She was truly my baby girl and my princess. I always told her she was my pretty girl. I decided that she would be known as Princess Zoe. She had her own Princess pillows, Princess Bedroom (also known as Zo’s Bedroom), special pink collar, and I treated her like a Princess because in fact she was one. Even the vet said she was a diva! She was a very strong independent female, and I admired her so much for that (like mother, like daughter).
We spent so much time together...we truly trusted each other. She would often sleep next to me during the night, and she would paw my face for attention. If I didn't pay attention to her right away, the tap got harder until I did.
She had to wake Mommy up no matter what and that always put a smile on my face no matter what time it was. She would always purr and her purrs were so loud that she was also nicknamed “Motorboat”.
She also loved to sunbathe...open up the blinds and she was ready to go. Zoe was so happy and content always lying on her back and just so relaxed.
Zoe and I had a mutual love for each other. She often hid from everyone else, but always came out to see me. She loved to curl up on the couch, recliner, or bed with me, and she gave me kisses with her adorable small pink nose. Then all of a sudden, Zoe stopped eating and hid under the bed all of the time. I took her to the vet and they recommended removing her two remaining teeth due to stomatitis. I did research on this dental condition and realized she may have FeLV. She appeared to have most of the symptoms, even if they were slight at the time. During her teeth extraction, I had the vet retest her for FeLV since she was negative when I adopted her.
Unfortunately, the test came back very positive and our relationship then deepened on December 20, 2007 just five days before Christmas. Zoe began taking Interferon for her immune system, and she really enjoyed the treat she would get after the medication. I started giving her Pet-Tinic, and I challenged her to fight the illness. I even dedicated the White Lion song, “Little Fighter” to her. I wanted to make sure she had the best food and the best of everything. I really spoiled Zoe. Then I bought her a princess teacup bed that was so soft and plush and the prettiest baby pink with black and white polka dot trim. It was so comforting that I really wanted to sleep in it! Zoe fell in love with this bed and it became her favorite place to be. Zoe was always lying in it and she looked so content.
She would constantly paw the bed and purr (like a motorboat). Zoe was so happy...she was truly my little fighter. Then the day after her 3rd birthday (adoption day), Zoe got very very sick so quickly, and I kept telling her how pretty she is and how much I love her. I kept petting her and talking to her. But then all of a sudden, I got a massive pain in my stomach, and Zoe appeared to take one last deep breath.
I held her as she lied on the fleece blanket on the floor, and I repeatedly told her that I love you Zo. Then she stopped breathing and I cried and screamed. My little pretty princess was gone.
Watching her pass away was the hardest thing I have ever witnessed.
Zoe passed from our lives so suddenly and she fought to the bitter end. I still can't believe that she is gone. I love her and miss her so very very much. For 3 short and wonderful years, Zoe touched my life in a way no one will. Zoe, I miss you so much and you will be in my heart – always and forever...

Jaclynne

Rest In Piece Zoe, we will never forget you. We think about you everyday. I know you are watching down on us.

Brenda

Zoe, you will be in my heart forever.
Absolutely the smartest, most loyal, fierce, loving, sweetest soul I ever had the honor of sharing my life with.
No one will ever truly understand what you meant to me.....but you do.
I cannot wait to see you again my beautiful, beautiful baby.
I love you.

Lorraine Chavarria

There is a large hole in our hearts this night as we said
our final good-by to our sweet little girl.
She
was a joy to us her whole life.

Bobbie & Ron Schultz

Zoe, you were taken away from me too soon.
Oh God how I love you and always will.
You brought a smile to my face and I thank you for it.
I will miss your smell, warmth, touch and especially love.
Until we meet again my baby girl!
Until we meet again...

Jenn A

Zoe, say Hi to Cecilia.....

We love you, Zoe. You were the best friend we could ever have. We'll miss you always sitting by us, being the best watch dog, always obedient, and comforting us when we needed love. You never let us down, and were always there even if you didn't understand why we were sad. Please be the great watch dog you are in Heaven, and take care of Alex, Jack, Dad and Mom. Thank you for the rainbow sign and the door that you blew open. To the best friend ever, you will always be in our hearts. Love, Your Family

Zoe Girl,

I miss you so much my angel. You are with Jesus and Precious now. It is so hard to go on without you Zoe, but I have faith we will be together again someday.
Thank you so much for loving me and bringing so much joy into my life. You were my best friend. I miss you so much Zippo.

Love, Mom

Zoe is my best friend. I am so alone with out her. I will be at the bridge to be reunited with her. I miss her so.
Zoe I love you.
Mommy

Our Wonderful Zoe Gump, you are the most fantastic dog in the world. I bred you twice and you were a wonderful mum, you brought much joy and sunshine to our lives. All our kids grew up with you by their sides, You loved your human family absolutely and you are always in our thoughts and hearts.

Helena Windberg

Our little Zoe,
You were a sweet and wonderful member of our family; so very independent and fiesty and I miss you more than words can say.
You taught us quite a bit about persistence and how a little calico cat, the proverbial "squeaky wheel" gets the grease; in your case, the cat milk.
We hope you had the most wonderful life with us and treasure the times when you'd curl up and purr away on the foot of the bed or be at the door to be let in and out again. Like a merry-go-round.
And the times when we heard your distinct meow when you had climbed a tree or roof and couldn't get down; you get the picture. Thank you for your gift of life and sense of adventure...we've all learned from that.
With much love and many besos, Jeff, Steve, Derby, Czar, Frida & Chulo.



Loyal gaurdian and best friend,who's passing on will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
May she rest in peace from all the pain and suffering she had to endure.
She was one of a kind and we will always remember our time together with her.
Love Teena & Ken

she was an angel -- a human stuck in a dogs body. the love of my life. a part of my soul. stubborn as the day was long but full of love and compassion. there wil never be a day that i don't think of her and miss her in my life.

Kim Kassel Mnuchin

In loving memory of Zoe P., a truly special soul that touched mine in so many ways during her too short life.
I'll always remember and be grateful for the privilege I had of caring for her as her pet sitter.

Kristen

My Best friend, Zoe, you made me laugh like no other.
I changed my life when I met you for the better.
Would Zoe rather play or go to a meeting with bankers?
The world according to Zoe was a much better one than I've ever known before.
Chris and Rocky miss you just like I do.
We all held you in such love, and still do.

Thalia Poulos

Until I see you again, my beloved Zoe, please know there will always be a hole in my heart.

Jacqui

Dear Mom,

I know you are sad and upset because of the way we said bye on Saturday morning. I can hear you crying and blaming your self for that and it's making me very sad. I want you to know I always have been very happy with you and could not have had a better home. You have been the best mom any cat could have asked for. You have always been my best friend and always will...especially now. I want you to know what you did for me was for the best and I very happy in my new place and will always remember you for the best 10 years and one day that I could have ever had.
Also, I want to thank you for saving me three years ago with my operation so that I could enjoy the extended time with you in our new home in Arizona. I liked it there very much.
So please don't be sad any more, as it makes me very sad to see you crying and upset. I want you to know I'm happy now and you did the right thing for me as you have always done.

PS. I have finally met Minnue and Misty. I always heard you speak of them and they wanted me to tell you that all three of us are together now and having fun together. We will always love you very much and will always be with you remembering all the good times we had together.

Please don't cry any more as I'm happy now with Minnue and Misty.

I will always be with you and love you,

Zoey

My lovely lady left us in July 2008.
Zoe was a wonderful pet and buddy.
We Miss You...
Love your family

I miss you my sweet baby. You were my heart and soul. Thank you for being in my life if only for a short time.

Leslie Holland

Zoey, you loved to catch balls, eat french fries & potato chips.
We will miss you so much, you were not just the family pet, you were a family member.
We love you and hope you are catching all the balls in heaven without getting tired!!

The Cosgrove's

Zoey was the love of our lives.
We just found out on Sept. 8, 2008 she had cancer.
I just came back from having her put to sleep.
We will never forget all the love she gave to us in the short time she was with us.

Ken & Linda Ratliff

Mindy and Zoey were one of the best competitive agility teams in the US and won many awards from the Jack Russell Club, the AKC, and USDAA.
She and her JRT were not only a competitive team but were best friends.
Mindy is sorely missing her Zoey.

This is dedicated to the contributions that the Mindy/Zoey team contributed to the sport of agility.

Candy Lynch For Mindy Lytle

After 13 years of faithful and loving companionship, our beloved Zoey has passed on. Zoey (and my tortie "Rat") became my family when I moved far from home for graduate school. She was a constant source of love and affection. And if ever I needed comfort, she was there instantly. She never let one whimper or sob of mine go unnoticed or unsoothed with licks, head bumps, purrs or just being there. (And during grad school, there were many tears shed!).
When I met my husband, they fell in love instantly and were best of friends. When my son was born 2 years ago, Zoey became his constant companion as well, never leaving his side and providing the incentive to learn how to roll over and crawl. You couldn't ask for a more loving cat. Everyone who knew her, loved her. She had a huge heart and bigger purr. She will be greatly missed.

Adrienne

My perfect sweet baby Zoey. You have been our angel of love. I ache for your and long for you to be in my arms again. We are so sorry. Please wait for us by the rainbow bridge. We will work as hard as we can to be worthy enough to be with you again. Until then I will wrap you close to my heart every day and will smile about all the wonderful memories we had together. You will always be my first love. I love you Doetii. Eternity is all we have.

Shauna Smith

Zoey,
We love you so much.
You were the best dog, such a good girl.
Zach misses you so much, as does your human family.
Our lives were blessed by you.
You will be forever in our hearts.
We love you girl!

Mom, Dad and Sister

Zoey will always be my special girl.
She loved me when I was sick and dying.
She kissed away my tears whenever I was in pain.
Everyone who met her said that she was the only rat they would ever touch.
She loved everyone.
I can't wait 'till the day I get to feel her silky fur, her little feet, and her soft little tongue kissing my lips again.
She gave me a reason to live even when I didn't want to.
She filled my heart with joy anytime it was empty.
I love you my sweet girl.

Marriah Dobbins

Zoey was a wonderful Black Lab who died of renal failure. She was a sweet, gentle dog who was loved
by her family.
She had obcessive-complusive disorder when it came to tennis balls and could fit 3 in her mouth. She is stilled missed every day, even after one year.
Your friend Roxie will soon be playing with you daily over the Rainbow bridge, my friend.
Love you always and forever......

Michelle Ohmart

TO MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE ZOEY - OUR LITTLE ONE , YOU WERE VERY SPECIAL TO ALL OF US, YOU HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HEARTS, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN - MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE.
WE LOVE YOU BABY

Sharon Rodda

We'll always remember you. We love & miss you so very much.

Anna Rodriguez & Family

Our baby girl Zoey was a young 5 1/2 years old.
We are completely heartbroken over her passing.
She was dealt a bad hand from the start - having an eye surgery and 4 knee surgeries.
But she was the best dog anyone could have asked for.
She always took care of us and we will miss her dearly.
We love you Poops - you will live on forever in our hearts.
We will meet again someday.

Love,
Mommy & Daddy

Zoie was a fun loving full of life best friend. I brought Zoie home when he was 6 weeks old. I took him everywhere with me, the best tavel buddy. The best listener. He never left my side no matter what. And from all those years together there are many memories that I will have with me for the rest of my life. I miss him deeply with all my heart. When I looked into Zoie's eyes I saw love,but in his last hours I saw sadness and pain. I believe I will see Zoie again one day and he will be that young vibrant dog he was when we were young. I love you Zoehead.

Hope Hines

RIP Zona.
You were an amazing cat who had been through so much in your near 23 years.
You were loved so, and will be missed even more.
I hope your sister Fibbs found you.
She'll take care of you.

Love you

Melissa Rippy

When we adopted Zona in Oakland, California, her 'pound name' was Hanna. That was in September, 2001. Last night, we drove through Hanna's tropical rains to take her to the vet one last time. Zona passed away 5:30 pm on 09/06/2008. I fell in love with her at the Dublin, California SPCA. She was such a little lady dog. She swept me away with her aloofness, long legs, exotic eyes, red hair and red toenails. She was fastidious, prim and delicate. She often crossed her front paws when she lay down. If she liked you, she would jump up and sit right next to you on the couch and show you some love. Outdoors, she loved looking for Mr. Goodmouse...and pouncing on him. My husband says this has always been her house more than ours. She was fierce at the front door and took her watch dog job very seriously. When she wasn't radiating fear at the front door, she was radiating love in our laps. She loved soft-serve vanilla ice cream. She never obeyed the word "come". We loved her and we miss her.

Linda and Larry Pincus

A friend's dog dug up the bunnys' nest. The mom never came back so we got them out of their hole and tried to be the best moms we could. I guess it just wasn't good enough. They only survived 3 days when we had them. :'(

Kialani K

I will always love you ... I love you.

Mark

My eyes are brimmed with tears as my special friend of 16 years left us on December 24, 2008. I loved him dearly and miss him so much. I know he had to leave us but the pain in my heart is hurting. My little guy has been my best pal for so long, all the long walks, bicycle rides, plane trips, he rarely left my side. My little Zoolou you will never know how much I loved you, and the joy and comfort you brougbt into my life will always be with me.

Donna & Rich Unangst

Our dearest Zopi will be so very missed by her family! She was so very loved and an amazing part of our family. We all know that she is now free from pain and discomfort and running with her friends. We love you and will miss you, you will be forever in our hearts. Thank you for giving us fifteen wonderful years with you!!!

ALL our love...

Michelle Keller

I love you sweet girl, I miss you and know you are playing with Cider and Sibby up there.

Kamal

YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND AND DEARLY LOVED.

Sandi Radford

Zorro, aka The Piranha, was only 3 lbs in body but 300 lbs in spirit. He took his job as his Mama's protector very seriously. He was always right by her side or in her arms, ready to bite anyone or anything who got too close to his Mama. He was full of joy and gave us so much joy. He was born in our home and was his Mama's constant companion. He will be greatly missed.

Nancy and Jeff Donaldson

This will be the second Christmas without you. Time does help help the in my heart without you. You ornaments with your pictures hang on the tree. I look at them with a heavy heart but with joy that your not in any more pain. It took to boxers to help fill the the space you left. Yonder is now 18 months old and we rescued Stormy from the CCHS, she is 10 months old. I see you in them. Rest in peace my baby boy, your still my love and my joy.

Andie & Walter MacDonald

My best friend of 6 1/2 years passed too soon and too quickly....his eyes were the window of his soul and invited everyone in....he loved everyone and everyone loved him...He is missed so much and Zouk left a big hole in my heart....and my life.

Sandra Hardin

Zowie was the best pet every, he was loved by many family members and friends, he brought a smile to your face whenever he was around.
He passed due to old age, we knew this when he was making sounds and wasn't eating his treats and then within a few days he was gone, we will all miss him very much....

Zowie Keen

Our beautiful, regal Russian Blue girl has passed away. She will be profoundly missed, always remembered and always honoured. She has a forever place in our hearts. Zoya, we will always treasure your grace and affection. For us, you defined feline majesty and wisdom. In some precious moments - the ways you moved, jumped, stretched and pondered, we got to share something remarkable. Thank you beautiful one for being a remarkable cat.

John, Liz, Charlotte & Ivy

Tonight in our house it is very sad.
Our sweet, little lady has left us.
20 years ago ZsaZsa and her brother Dinky Doo 8 were given to us as wedding gifts. We could not have asked for anything better than love, comfort, purring, laughter and the greattess moth catcher. Dinky and I will miss her and wait for us at the bridge.
Goodbye.

Deboraha MarcouxBeatty

We really miss you Bubba and know that you are still with us in spirit!

Nicole Bielat

Zues,

You were my dog and my bestfriend. I loved you with all my heart and I couldn't imagine life without you. Now I know how it really feels. Always remember we all love you.

Christa

My darling Zuki.The most gentle,loving best friend anyone could ever wish to have beside them.
You had a terrible start
but when you came to stay with us it was the beginning of an amazing journey through life together.
You were so tiny and helpless but with the heart and soul of a lion.
You became very sick,my darling and at the end you let me know it was your time to leave.
My heart is broken but I have so many happy memories of our time together.The house is so empty without you.
Sleep peacefully my darling and have fun with your doggy friends who are waiting for you.
You will always live on in our hearts my darling.
NO more pain,my brave little sweetheart.
