Rest in peace wee Mac we love and miss you so much

YOU BLESSED OUR FAMILY WITH LOVE FOR 11 WONDERFUL YEARS MACEY!!
YOU WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER!!
LOVE YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!!

My sweet Westie -MacKenzie. The 9 years we spent together weren't enough. Although we rescued you when you were 6 I feel like we had you from puppyhood. I still can't believe you're gone. I've left your beds just where they were (of course your brother Tippy cat has taken over one of them just like he did when you were with us :). I have your picture and pawprint, your collar, your lock of fur. And soon we'll have your ashes back. But I wish I had you. You lived a long life (15 yrs) and I suppose I really lost you to the dementia about a year ago before baby Carina was born. I tried to fight it. I wanted to hold onto you. But last Monday 10/10/11 I let you go. You are whole again. No more confusion. No arthritis. You can see and hear and I hope you're watching over us all. I love you my sweet boy. I'll see you again at Rainbow Bridge someday.  
Love,  
Mommy

To Mackie that filled me with love for many years. His commitment, loyalty and dedication taught me how to be a better person. He will be in my heart until the time when we will meet again and cross the rainbow bridge together. I miss you, I will always miss you.

With all my love, Daddy

Maddie came into my life when my sister had a Rottweiler that she had bred. She knew how much I loved the breed and always wanted one. After the mother had the puppies, my sister said I could choose one as my Christmas gift and could take her as soon as she was ready. I picked the runt of the litter. When she grew up, she made sure that everyone knew she wasn't going to be pushed around. My parents took her one brother and named him Marshal. Those two were practically inseparable. When they played, Maddie would always take him down even though he was almost twice her size. Maddie was a very gentle and loving dog. She was protective of my nephews and would let them know if they were getting out of line. She would knock them down and cover their faces in "kisses" until they begged her to stop. She would always let me know when she had to go outside or wanted to be fed. Especially if I was asleep. She would gently paw at me until I got up to let her out. The one day I decided to see how far she would go with that....BIG MISTAKE! I kept ignoring her. She jumped on the bed and continued to paw at me gently until she was desparate to go out. She then smacked me in the face, looked at me and licked me. I couldn't help but laugh and got up. Maddie loved snow, but hated the rain. During thunderstorms, she would run inside when she saw the lightning and ran outside when she heard the thunder and start barking at it. She would also start barking at birds that flew over head as to warn them not to come into her yard. The one year when my dad passed away and I was having other issues, I had a panic attack and didn't know what it was. I was crying and hyperventilating until the point of passing out. My knees gave out and I went to the floor. Maddie came over to me and was laying over my chest licking my face like crazy until I came out of it. Since that happened, she very rarely left my side. She loved to play with the red dot from a laser pointer, a flashlight, even shadows on the floor from my hands. She loved to go for rides. I would whisper in her ear, "Want to go bye-bye?" She would start jumping around, running towards the door and back to me. Sometimes all I had to do is nod my head towards the door or jingle my keys. Then a couple of years ago during the summer, she wasn't feeling well. She would have a small seizure and discovered she had low iron in her blood and she had a small tumor on her spleen. After taking her to the vet, she improved and seemed her normal self. Even though she was fixed, whenever I got a new puppy, she claimed it as her own. The week before June 13, 2011 she would lie on my bed and very rarely move and when she did, she whined in pain. I knew it was her time. Over the weekend she improved, but I could not let her go on in such pain. I called the vet and we made the arrangements. On Monday, June 13, 2011, she went to see my dad, who's date of his passing is June 17, 2003. Wait for me baby girl. Maddie...let's go bye-bye. Love you my angel!

My Precious Angel Pug. My life has forever changed once more , It changed when i got you and know it has changed that you are gone. The Hardest night i spent with you last, The hardest drive i spent with you the next day , I will never forget you and your Precious little face . I honestly lost the most precious soul when you left my side . I am sorry for taking for granted that you would always be there for me. I know you are with GOD playing and not hurting or having any more pain. I know you are with others who are greatful to be with you. I am selfish for wishing you were still here on earth with me . You Are Very Loved , Mac misses you too , he is incredibly sad that you are no longer here with us. Roger Loved you so much, He also is suffering that you are gone . Maddie please know that we did our best for you and we will always feel that we should have done more ..You are also responsible for my well being today, Your precious little face made me melt for your well being, Through so many earthly troubles you were here by my side and I may not be here today if not for you ! You know the difficulties i am speaking about. I pray we will be in each others presence again someday. I have your ashes and one day our ashes will fold together. I am forever sad you are Gone , I know you are with Mitzi Lou and playing and licking each other , She once again is with you , I Love You Both ! Daddy

Dear Sweet Maddi,

You are the most loved dog and we will never forget you. Your love has sustained us through great loss, illness, death. You are our constant through this crazy life. Besides all of the unhappy times that we survived together, you brought us so much happiness and joy. The memories of those happy times is getting us through our grief of having to tell you goodbye for awhile. We will be fine but we miss you so very much that the pain in our hearts is almost more than we can bear!

I am going to light three candles for you tonight. When you see the light remeber that you are loved and will never be forgotten. We will all be together again, I promise!!!!

We love you always and forever,  
Mom, Dad, Anne, Jayne, Tim, Courtney, Jennifer, Lance and all of the friends that you made here on earth....

At first, there was Maddie and her sister meeting us at a mall parking lot. The owner set both pups down and I said "Come here girl" Maddie came and that is how she became such an important part of our family. She grew with the kids. She learned how to walk up and down stairs. She loved her afternoon walks with her "mother" Julie. She loved popcorn and potato chips. She always wanted to make sure and say hello, whether we were returning from a 2 week vacation or just a 5 minute trip to Hy-Vee, she always wanted to say "Hi, I'm so glad you're back, please don't ever leave me again!" And with age came problems. And with problems came pain. And with pain came time for release....ultimate release. Be free my love, free of pain, free of bounds, free of body. We will find you, as time moves forward. Be assured Maddie, we will find you. Stay with Heidie and Grandpa until then. We love and loved you so very very much. Thank you Maddie, you never disappointed. We were so very lucky to have you in our lives.  
Hugs and kisses pretty girl!

To our precious Baby Girl Maddie, You will always be our heart and soul. We are so full of grief over the loss of you. You filled our life with such joy and endless love all the way to the end. You had the biggest little heart we have ever known. We love you and miss you so much. Mommy and Daddy.

Maggie,

We miss you so much. You were with us almost 17 years. We so miss all of your "head butts" on our chest when we would kiss you on the head and the "meeps" when you wanted something and could no longer bark. We love you, our little furbaby, and can't wait to see you at the Rainbow Bridge. XXXOOO Your Mommy and Daddy

Maggie Darlin',  
You were the sweetest, most loving, most giving dog I have ever known. Right until the end, you still wanted to share your love and your goodness. I will never forget the goodbye hugs and kisses you gave to us and your sister, Greta. Know you are at peace now, romping in Heaven's fields with Lira and Annie Belle. We shall cherish our memories of you and always carry you with us in our hearts. Love you precious girl! Your family

Maggie Lowery, beloved Cairn Terrier of Mickey and Karen Lowery, departed this world on Saturday, May 28, 2011. She gave her human family almost 15 1/2 years of unconditional love and joy. Their only wish is that she could have had many more years of quality life.

Maggie's photograph has been published in "Is It a Cold or an Allergy? In: Wellness Guide, 1999, authored by Dr. Phil Lieberman; published in the "Keys Crusin" section of the Free Press, Key Largo, FL, in 2004, sporting a hula skirt and flower lei, as one of the original "Pirates on the Water" Parrotheads; and also published as "Ms. Tropical" in the Upper Keys Reporter newspaper, Key Largo, FL, in 2005, lying on her balcony wearing a tropical shirt with an "umbrella/tropical drink" nearby.

She will be missed by all who loved her, and she leaves her family with broken hearts that will never mend. Her ashes will be scattered in the Florida Keys where she spent many years chasing lizards, catching flies, and harassing iguanas.

Maggie Mae was the most beautiful, wonderful, loving, smartest dog anyone could ever ask for. She was mommy's girl, following me around everywhere, always needing to be by my side. Her beautiful eyes and the way she looked at me is something that will be embedded in my mind forever. I gave her hugs and kisses on a daily basis. Not a day went by that we didn't snuggle and look into each others eyes. She loved when mommy rubbed her belly and she could never get enough. She would paw at me if I stopped rubbing her, always wanting more. The companionship and the love that I got from her was something that can never be replaced. I will love and cherish her for the rest of my life. Her being gone is such an incredible void but I know she is not suffering anymore. Maggie almost made it to seven but it was not meant to be. I gave her nearly seven beautiful years and she was the love of my life. She taught me patience, love and acceptance. She brought so much joy and love into so many people lives. I cannot express what a wonderful fur baby she was and my heart aches without her by my side. Mommy misses you Maggie Mae and you will live in my heart forever and ever!

I love you my little girl, my Maggie May. The sweetest, most lovable of them all. You are my world, my comfort, my support, my dream come true in a companion. Only 105. years with my baby girl, leaves my soul empty.
So quickly your kidneys failed and the bladder infection took over...9 days...and then you were to die...My heart aches...my soul empty..The Rainbow Bridge could not come soon enough. My baby girl, you don't play with dogs, you prefer people.
I put my hand on your heart, you grasp it with your paws tightly , we look at each other, and feel the love, our souls unite. How I never thought any person could have that depth of love.
I walk the rooms alone and scream for you...I love you so and miss you so...
My children, grandchildren have their busy lives..my life circled around yours and I believed you would live your 16 plus years...
I don't understand and my heart is empty...
Of the 10 dogs previous in my life...no other filled my heart or my soul. No other did I prefer to stay home with as much as possible.

I love you...my Maggie May, my Little Girl..

Maggie May - you were an awesome beauty, inside and out. The Mother Teressa of all dogs. You never complained - not a mean bone in you body. I miss you so much, Madeline and Steve miss you too. Not to mention Bubba and your Mac.  
The house is just so empty without you and I find myself not wanting to come home from work in order to avoid the sadness.  
Please know that you were one of the greatest gifts in my life.There was and never will be greater love than the love you gave me unconditionally.  
Sleep well my Maggie May. One day I hope we will meet again - now go find Easter, she needs your company!

Maggie was such a special dog. She was the most lovable, huggable, sweetest puppy I have ever known. As I write this tribute on the one year anniversary of her death, I am reminded of so many fond memories that will forever play in my head. Maggie was a shy and quiet dog at first. My family members even thought she lacked personality and were weary of my decision to adopt her. But I could tell behind those sweet, brown, puppy dog eyes that she was a keeper. It took her some time, but once she warmed up to us, she just screamed of personality. She did a special dance we called the "Maggie Dance" every time we came home, every time she heard the word "treat" and every time it was time to eat a meal. The Maggie dance could brighten the darkest day for me. She was a snuggler. She loved to cuddle right up next to you whether it was in bed, on the sofa, and especially during meal time. She was a lady. Just looking at her one could see what a little princess she was. A smile would always come to my face as we would go on walks and she would jump over puddles of water so as not to get her paws wet. Maggie always wanted to be the center of attention. Whether we called her name, or our other dog, Kodak, she would always be the first one to run and jump into our arms. She had a stuffed animal, who we called Mr. Froggy. It was one of the only toys she consistently played with over her life time. We would throw that frog across the room and Maggie would run right after it. The best part was watching her try and stop on our slick wooden floors. Sometimes her eagerness to get to the frog would land her smack dab against the wall, but that didn't stop her. She went right on playing and squeaking Mr. Froggy. Maggie didn't have the best eye sight, but her nose made up for what her eyes lacked. She could smell the tiniest piece of food on the floor and would make sure she found it at all costs, even if this meant squeezing her tiny body into some even tinier spaces. Maggie was a fighter. She battled so many illnesses over her lifetime, but always had a smile on her face, and it was one cute smile (especially her front and center bottom tooth that was missing). She managed to make each day wonderful for us, even on the days that we knew she wasn't feeling good. Maggie provided us with so many great memories that we will cherish forever and we miss her more than words can even begin to describe. We know her and Kodak are at the Rainbow Bridge taking care of each other, chasing squirrels and running around outside in the warm sunshine. We love you Maggie and miss you so much.

Our dearest little Maisee.. She was the sweetest little Malti-poo you would ever meet & she never met stranger. Bentley & Piper miss you so much and know that you are no longer here with us. We will miss how you would get so excited when we would come home and you'd have to go get your little monkey and run around acting crazy with it. We will miss you leading the pack on our afternoon walks and seeing how excited you got when we said let's go "bye-bye". It's so sad and lonely without you here. I wish we could have known about your illness sooner but we hope you didn't suffer to long and had to make the decision to take you out of your pain. It was so hard to see you go but we know your in a better place & we will meet again soon.. Don't miss us too much Moosie! We'll never forget you and how loving you were towards us. You taught us many lessons about love and your brother & sister are so lonley. I will miss seeing how excited and full of life you were. You were such a happy baby just to get loved on and be in our arms. Say hi to Chelsea for us and we'll be with you again one day.. Kisses my Maisee!!!! We love you!  
    Love,  
             Momma, RayRay, Emmi, Dad, Erica, Bella, Piper, & Bentley

Born outside, you feared humans and it was six months before I could hold you. You gave me love faithfully for eighteen years and helped me with my grief after the death of my other cat Ariel. You gave Ariel love and companionship which he sometimes rebuffed. You were quiet and didn't give trouble through moves and roomate changes. I will always be grateful to you. I know I'll miss that little purring companion on my bed. In your memory I will do what I can for homeless cats and dogs and all animals.

We had a dog, "Major" who died on December 28th. He was a fawn colored Great Dane, who never grew out of being our 120 pound puppy. He loved to sleep in the bed with his people. He loved to be covered up with his own blanket - all the way up to his ears. He loved to drink from the sink when you turned the water faucet on, and had to have an ice cube each time the freezer was opened.

Major always wanted to be near people, and just had to lay under the kitchen table during meals. He had to be at the table when we played games, and laid his face on the table ... slowly scooting a little closer to your plate - thinking that we didn't notice. He loved to greet our visitors and had them loving him within 5 minutes of meeting him.

He loved to chase the lazer pointer, tennis ball, and anyone willing to play. If we left the bath running, we had to be careful ... or we would find a big wet dog had taken our place. He loved the water, and loved to play tug-o-war with the towels. Anyone who has ever loved a dog knows what soap tastes like!!

We know he's in heaven now, and daddy is taking him on a nice walk. *** Major you brought so much love to us, and will be greatly missed!***

Mandy: Your time with mommy and me is now over; but your sister Chelsea is waiting at Rainbow Bridge to see and play with you. Let her know we still think and miss her too. Thanks for your almost 15 happy years with us and enjoy your forever healthy life until the day we all meet again.

Pat & Bill Breivogel

Our Dear Little one Marbles,

You came into our lives with joy and continued to give us all your Love,joy and friendship for as long as you could. You were the sweetest soul,the concerned protector,the soothing confidant.  
You enriched our lives and filled our hearts to overflowing.  
Words cannot express how much you meant to us, nor can they describe the sadness we feel now that you are no longer here to wash our faces with your grateful and loving kisses. Even though your time was short, we would not trade your friendship or knowing you for anything in this world. We will always remember you and the unconditional love you gave us fondly and will meet you at the rainbow bridge with open arms and happy faces when our time comes. We love you very much and miss you dearly little one.

All Our Love,

Alan,Lonni,Michael and Bean

Marbles, Mommy is so sorry that I gave you the bath that ended up giving you that fatal heart attack. I hope you can forgive me. I want you to know that I never meant to hurt you, I just wanted you to be clean, as your coat was dry to these winter months. I want you to know that my life was so much better having you a part of it. We had a bond, we had our own language, you spoke to me, and I understood, as you understood me, you gave me unconditional love. You told me when I was misbehaving, and when I was doing great. I will never forget you. Please watch over me, as you did in life, and I hope kitty heaven is the puurrfect place, and that you have all the toys and playmates you want. I know we will be together again someday, unill them, keep on PURRING!!!

My beautiful Rott I miss you so much. I look out the window in the back yard and your not there. I had to get rid of your belongings because I couldn't bare to see them. I Love you Marley! I believe when I get to heaven I will see you there and you will be healthy and strong like you useto be. Soon I will put up your picture in my living room but not now. I will never forget you. I feel so bad we could'nt spend another few more years together.

Martin you were the most amazing pet, you knew my moods so well, we have been through alot together and know matter what you were always there for me. Even at 13 years old you still had a puppy mentality and always wanted to play. Now I realize that some of that play time was for my benefit to cheer me up or destress me. Dakota and I miss you and love you so much! You are forever in our hearts, until we meet again my dear friend,not a day will go by that I don't think of you! All my love!!!! Mom

I rescued Matilda from my local animal shelter when she was 5. I loved her from the moment I saw her. I took her out of her cage to hold her and she hugged me around my neck. I kissed her on her head and promised her she had found her home with me. I adopted her two days later.

Matilda was the kindest, most affectionate, wisest, sweetest cat I have ever known. When I was sad she came and sat with me, "petting" me with her paw to comfort me. She and I slept cuddled up together for most of the 7 years that we had together. She greeted me each day with a loud, cheerful meow, and had many other meows to indicate her mood or react to what I was saying. She was very smart.

Matilda was plagued with health problems her whole life; we spent a lot of time at the vet's office. I never minded because she gave so much love to me- it was the least I could do to make sure she was being well cared for.

Matilda was diagnosed with kidney failure in August 2010. We began subcutaneous fluid treatments, done every other day, upon her diagnosis. She was so brave and took her treatments like the champion that she was. Her initial prognosis was that she might live until Thanksgiving, so I made Christmas our goal. I kept giving her fluids, moved her onto my bed where I fed and medicated her and where she could look out the window, and kept her close to her little cat stairs that led to her litter pan. She slept a lot but still maintained her spirit of cheer, joy, and love. Thanksgiving came and went- as did Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, my birthday, her 12th birthday, and Mother's Day. My brave girl fought through numerous obstacles, always with a purr and a cuddle for her mommy. I held a birthday party for her, and the family came over and we had dinner, cake, sang to her-- she had a wonderful day.

I used to sing to Matilda- she loved to hear me sing. Towards the end, when I saw her slow down, I began to read to her instead. She loved to lay next to me as I read books like The Velveteen Rabbit and The Giving Tree. She listened and even touched each page with her paw, purring loudly. I read books about gratitude and love, because for 7 years that's all she ever gave me. Her love, her heart, her affection. I adored her every moment of her life with me.

I am unable to have children of my own for health reasons, so I know that I made quite the fuss over Matilda. I adopted a little sister for her 4 years ago, Mirabelle. Mirabelle suffers from serious asthma and goes into severe attacks. I give Mirabelle her inhalers many times a day. Matilda laid with Mirabelle and was quite patient with Mirabelle's sometimes grouchy disposition. Now that Matilda has passed on, however, Mirabelle is simply as lost as I am. We are devastated by this and are bonding together to get through it.

The decision to have Matilda euthanized was not made lightly; I felt as though I would die right there with her. Her time came, though, and when she began having difficulty breathing, I could not ask her to fight through one more thing. She laid on the table in the vet's office, head down- she never did that. She acted as though she had had enough. I cried and pleaded for there to be another option, but I could not save her. In order to give her the final gift of mercy and love and to thank her for all that she did for me in this life, I made the decision. I sat with her and told her the story that I first saw on this site- the story of the Rainbow Bridge. I told her how much I love her and thanked her for her unfailing love and support through the many trials in my life and hers. She's my best friend and I love her so dearly. I am honored that I got to be her mom. As she fell asleep I continued to hug and kiss her, encircling her in my arms. She passed away as I hugged her and I gave her a final kiss and held her paw for a moment. I thought of how many times she placed that paw on my hand as I slept or cried or watched tv. I thought of her constant companionship, her selfless love even as she suffered, and I acknowledged how much I learned from being her mom. I am a better person for having had Matilda for my daughter.

There is a hymn we sing at church entitled "God Be With You Till We Meet Again", and it really encompasses my hope that when I die, Matilda will be waiting for me to hug and greet me at that Rainbow Bridge... and that, until then, Heavenly Father will hold her in His arms for me.

God be with you till we meet again;
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again;
When life's perils thick confound you;
Put His arms unfailing round you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again;
Keep love's banner floating o'er you,
Strike death's threatening wave before you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.

My beloved Matilda,
Know how much I have always loved you. I will continue to love you forever. Please remember me and wait for me. In the meantime, however... enjoy the sun and warmth of Heaven and rejoice in the health and freedom that are yours forever. I adore you, I miss you... My little one, my angel. I love you. Thank you for all that you gave me.

Yours,
Mommy

My bestest girl. You were the sweetest and gentlest dog I've ever known. I was all alone living in Chicago and then we met. Who rescued who? You were with me for much too short a time. I'm so sorry you got sick and felt such pain. You were my shadow for eight years. I'll never forget what a neighbor said, "When I see you I know I'll see Maud. The day I see you and I don't see Maud will be a sad day." Well that very sad day has arrived way too soon. I'll love, remember, and miss you forever. If I make it to heaven I hope you'll be there waiting for me.

Love, love, love you,

Greg

My little tiny mau, I miss you so much. Lula is lonely without you to take care of and forcefully groom. I have been spending special time with her every day. I feel it wont be long until you are reunited. I hope you are ok and know that I love you.

Max, the near 15 years that we spent together were so great, comforting and happy. But they just weren't enough. Words cannot explain my pain and how much that I miss you. To see you there lying lifeless in the room at the vet send me plummeting to the ground crying wanting you back, but at that same time I understood that you are no longer in pain and can spend your time at peace, with other animals. The only thing is, the nights that we spent laying around and when you would sleep with me in my bed are no more, I can't get a good sleep since you left and nothing is there to fill the void that you filled. The cat misses you like crazy as well and cannot fill the void that you filled. Nor can the ferrets, or a friend. I miss you the most out of anybody on this Earth. I'm so lost without you Max, I don't know if this will ever get better. I really, really hope that you are at Rainbow Bridge having a great time with the other animals that left other people. I miss you so much and hope that one day, me and you will be reunited and you can see all of the family, Boots, Russel, Daisy, Mom, Dad and me. You were the greatest pooch. I will miss you until the day that I hopefully get to see you, at that time I will be so happy, the happiest I can ever be because I will have you, the living thing that spent almost 15 years with me. I love you so, so, so much Max! <3 Rest In Peace <3

to my son and love, max  
i miss you so much. alina misses you and cries for you. she said she has seen your spirit. i wish to see you so bad, my heart aches for you. i want you to know that chloe, will and baby holly miss you. so does all of our friends. your animals friends as well. as you probably already know, your cat friend auggie died the other day. her parents hearts are breaking as well. where ever you are max, please look down and see that i love you. i believe everything happens for a reason. i cannot figure this out.  
i will find the person who made you lose your life here on earth. i havent seen the car, but the day i do i will know. there was no reason that person hit you, you were in the clear and he ran you over. he was speeding. i will find him max, i promise.

love your mommma

Max, we finally lost you - you tried to beat the cancer, but, it won in the end. Thanks so much for bringing us into your life - we would have missed so much if you weren't there to share it with us. We will so miss the tossing of your head when you wanted something, your mellowness, our dinner time game of "eat your dinner", and I'll especially miss your not being there when I came home and your joy of seeing me. Parting was so hard - you don't know how much it pained me when I felt your final breath leave your body. We will love you forever. I pray that you, Brandy, Pebbles, and Pooter will be there to meet us and the other side of Rainbow Bridge. Once again, we love and miss you.

My best friend I will miss you dearly. You loved me no matter what. You will never be forgotten, and always be in my heart. You will be missed greatly by Tittus and Gracie. You were the best cat anyone could have 
Love,  
Tina

My little Max buddy, my little man, my very best friend, it was so very hard to let you go, but I couldn't bare to watch you suffer anymore. I miss you so much. You were the end of an era, as you went to join your momma and sister who have gone on before you. Now my "little kids" are all gone. You always had such a special personality, always able to disearn my moods and my needs associated with them. Who is going to comfort me now that you are gone when I need it. No matter how many other dogs I may have in the future, none can ever replace you buddy. I miss having you slepping on my pillow wrapped around my head at night. I have trouble sleeping now. I miss seeing your sweet little face everyday when I come home from work. You gave me more love than I could have ever asked for. I will always treasure our times together and hold them very dear to my heart. I also will always remember the night I saw Jesus in your eyes. God truley used you to help me see the love of Jesus in the flesh. I love you so much. Rest well little man.

Mom

Max, the LOVE OF MY LIFE how much Momma misses you until we meet in heaven. We had so many good times for the 11 years we spent together and how I wish that there would have been another 11 years. I don't know how to go on without My Wonderful Boy by my side as you always were. I pray everyday for you and will until we are together once again and you look over Momma My Angel.

XXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOO

TO THE BEST DOG MAX. HE WAS ALWAYS A PART OF OUR LIVES, OUR CHILDRENS AND HIS AUNT. WE WILL HONOR HIM FOREVER. HOPING TO BE REUNITED WITH MAX AT THE END OF OUR DAYS. OUR LOVE TO OUR PUPPY XOXO

My dearest punkin head,  
I cannot begin to tell you how much I will miss you my baby. An unconditional love like yours will never again be found. You were always there for me during the good times and the bad times. I remember when I was going through chemo treatments, you never left my side. If I didn't eat, you wouldn't eat; if I didn't get out of bed, you stayed in bed with me and never left my side.  
I remember how you used to "smile" when you wanted something, and cower when you knew you had been a bad boy (eating shoes is not good for you, I told you that :)) Remember when we used to go to the Orange and Blue park with the boys. They would throw a stick for you to catch, you would catch it, and then instead of returning the stick, you sat right down and chewed on it.  
Before you left me today, I told you that when you get to heaven to look for my Daddy. I'm sure he will take good care of you until it is time for us to meet again on the other side of the rainbow bridge. Until that time, run through the green grass, chase the butterflies and make sure you do your "Thumper" imitation and smell all the flowers.  
I love you forever and always!!  
Mom

MAXamillion, Max the Licker as most people knew him, was born under the front porch of my brother's house. My son had to crawl under the porch to get the litter out. Max kept licking him the whole time and when he asked if we could keep him I couldn't say no. Max like to visit the church next door, he would go over and welcome everyone with a lick anytime something was going on. He like to follow me when I would visit that church and usually waited for me at the door. One day someone didn't close the door all the way and just as the preacher was praying, Max decided to come in and worship with us. He wagged his tail and licked everyone until he found me. He didn't like the idea of having to be escorted out of church but he was patiently waiting for me when we got out to walk me home. Each morning he would make his rounds in the neighborhood and check on everything. He was my granddaughters guardian angel when we brought her home from the hospital, he would sleep beside her and sit up if anyone came close to her. I think his favorite thing to do was to chase the donkey and horses around the pasture, coming close many time but always ducking just in time to miss that kick. Max was my best friend, we had many long talks and long walks through the woods to the creek and just sit on the big rock my the stream. Max will be miss by all who knew him but most of all by me. RIP my dear friend for one day we will walk together again. I LOVE YOU! XOXOXOX

They say the best things come in small packages
And you, Max, were the best
My cherished and most loyal friend
Who filled my life with happiness.

From the very day I brought you home
That love settled deep within my heart
You filled my life with laughter and smiles
A joyful blessing from the start.

And as treasured gifts mean more over time
You grew more precious to me with age
These years of experiencing life with you
Brought me more joy than I can explain.

Your eyes were windows,that looked straight to your soul
A soul so loyal, kind and true
And you watched over me with careful attention
As any best friend would do.

And when my days were bad…you never far from me
You supported me throughout the day
And when times were good…what happiness you spread!
In your playful, joyful and loving way.

Max, you'll forever be part of my family
And I'll miss you with deepest grief
Only the hope of seeing you again
Brings my heart some measure of peace.

Yet knowing the devoted spirit in you
I fully trust that you will be
Anxiously waiting when I come home
When we're reunited in eternity.

So run and play and be at peace my man
Let your spirit roam happy and free
Don't worry that you had to say goodbye
And please don't worry about me.

For someday you'll be forever by my side
When we will be together again…
You are the best gift that I ever had
My most faithful and loving friend!

In Memory of
Maxamillion Meredith

Maxe- you were the sweetest bird. I know you were happier with Janet and her flock but I missed you every day. Eat as many sugar cookies as you want now!

The LOVE OF MY LIFE, Maximus, I don't know what to say except that I will never have another baby like my Maximus. He rescued me when he was approximately 5 years old. He was in San Antonio, at a kill shelter about to be put to sleep just because he was a big boy, all 150 pounds of him. They called to see if I wanted him and it was the second greatest day of my life. The first greatest day of my life came about a week after that when they drove him down from San Antonio and I met them at a Petsmart.

We had a special bond from day forward. Maximus was my protector in every sense of the word. No one ventured into my space without Maximus warning them to move back. He was my companion, my bud, my friend, my playmate. He loved to ride in the car and went everywhere with me. We had Sonic Days and he would be licking his chops as we were pulling into the Sonic's driveway. He knew he was getting his Junior Sonic Burrito. One time I tried given him potato tots instead and he just sniffed and sniffed and rolled them around. I got back on horn and ordered him a junior breakfast burrito which he gobbled down and then guess what...you guessed it, then he ate the potato tots. He also loved sitting outside Starbucks with me, especially when he got to lick last of my drink. We sat out there so many times.

Maximus was 12 years old, a Great Pyrenees, to me a Great Friend. Unfortunately, he had chronic bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and hip dyspepsia. He couldn't walk and we had to carry his rear in a sheet as he walked because only his front two legs worked. The time came when I had to take Maximus to the vet to be be put to sleep. I hope you understand Maximus, I had to do it, I just had too. That was no life for you, not for the boy I watched run and run and run in the backyard. Oh I wish you could have your back two legs again so I could see you run and roll over and over in the grass, so you can walk by my side and get into the car and we can go back to Sonic.

I don't know if you understood me Maximus, when I said "You are the LOVE of my life." I meant it then and I mean it now. There will never be another dog like you and I will never have a better friend than you. Rest in peace my sweet baby and I hope you love running around in heaven. Maybe Heaven even has a Sonic for you. I will see you again baby and I pray you knew you were loved and cherished and I only had you put to sleep because I thought it was best for you. I love you my best friend and I WILL see you again.  
Love:  
Your Mom and friend.

Maxwell I miss you so much. You were the light of my life. You made me laugh and smile for all the years we were together. Your beautiful face and eyes brought me pleasure every time I looked at you or thought about you. You were always here when I came home and when I went away for weeks or months you were still here watching over our home and keeping it warm and safe. You meant the world to me and losing you is like losing a piece of me. I don't know how I can go on the same without you. I know you are safe and well and continuing on your own individual journey, but it is so lonely here without you. I want to remember you for all the wonder that you were--you loved every aspect of life--the smallest things gave you so much pleasure. Just picking up a piece of lint from the carpet made you so happy not to mention grooming yourself. And the way we would play together--me throwing the spikey ball and you batting it out of the park. We were such a great team and now there's only me without my other half. I wish the world could know what a great cat you were. I can only give my deepest gratitude to whatever power it was that brought us together. You are my soulmate--I knew it from the first minute I looked into your beautiful eyes and it was a great 14 1/2 years we spent together.I hope we can be together again in some other lifetime. Bhabi,you are forever in my heart and I will always love and miss you.

Mommy

Maxx was the best dog anyone could ever ask for. He was a beautiful German Shepherd/wolf hybrid who took care of and protected his family. He had many friends all over the country and will be mourned by many. He was so well trained he could be trusted off the leash and came when his mommies called him. He guarded his boy and they had many fun times walking, going to the park, and riding in the car.

We will never forget you, beautiful boy.

Love, Pam, Candace, and Cameron

Our poor baby Meeko had to be euthanized on Friday, it was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. He had a Urinary blockage and then we fixed it, then it came back less than 2 weeks later. We got the surgery done to remove all of his boy parts. Then just a few days ago we thought he had a urinary blockage again, turned out he was extremely constipated because his anus had actually shrunk at the end not letting anything out, then we got that fixed.. it came back two days later with no way to fix it, the vet told us that what he did initially to fix his shrunken anus may or may not work and if it didn't then there would be no way to fix it.. :( so we had no choice.. he suffered enough, but it definitely hurts soo bad.. He was one of the most special guys in my life, his litter mate and our second kitty Allie misses him so, we are grieving together but this is so hard.. I really hope he is happy and no longer in pain.. I think about him constantly and wish there was something more we could of done.

Rest in Peace my precious baby Boy, I love you more than you'll know <3 xoxo

Meeko was the sweetest, happiest little dog we ever met. Incredibly cute in appearance, she was also irrestistible in spirit and felt that every person in the world was meant to be her friend. She wanted to meet everyone. She loved to snuggle up on a pillow beside me when I was writing and she loved to snuggle with my husband when he was watching tv.

She was small in stature but big in energy. She loved to fetch balls and would bring them back and drop them at our feet for a new round. She would squeak with excitement when it was time to go to the dog run and never wanted to go home. She'd swim for sticks and then shiver with cold but loved every minute of it.

We loved her so much and felt so lucky that we had found her. She slept in our bed with us and loved nothing more than spending time with her people. She could jump as high as a cat for a treat and was a little rascal about jumping up on tables when we weren't watching. When we were out, Meeko would lie on our dining room table, waiting and watching for us to come home.

Always happy, she didn't have a mean bone in her body. She was full of life and energy and we miss her so incredibly much.

To the most wonderful pet I have ever had.  
Working in an animal sanctuary i spotted her after seeing more than 9000 dogs. A very pregnant cross bred dog with such kind eyes I said "that is so my dog" to the warden who brought her in to the shelter. After 6 attempts to rehome her I decided enough was enough, she was staying with me. What can I say , she was from day one the most marvelous companion, wonderful with my children and other pets, and so so my best friend. Arthritis and vestibular disease took my wonderful soul mate away from me and my family two days ago and I just miss her so very much. Life will never be the same, no dog will ever be able to replace her but I am so fortunate to have had her in my life. Love you Meg forever X X X

Saturday, February 12, 2011.

I had no idea that Megan was as ill as she was. From my last vet visit with Cherie, an ultrasound showed there was a vague mass in her abdomen but it had not been identified nor diagnosed. This past Wednesday, Cherie took her in for x-rays and they sent the digitals out to a special radiologist. The problem remained undetermined; perhaps kidney or gal stones. Meg had another visit scheduled for Friday but Cherie felt time was too short so went in on Thursday. The special ultrasound vet would be in next Tuesday but Cherie felt that they couldn't wait. Megan had not been eating or drinking for several days, and would occasionally cough and whimper. Cherie made the decision to take her across the street to an internist vet that we had used in the past to monitor Meg's kidney issues. An ultrasound and needle biopsy was scheduled for later on Friday. When she got home, Cherie called an Intuitive she had used before and he told her that Megan was full of cancer pushing on all her internal organs and she was in a lot of pain which was why she was coughing and not drinking or eating. He said it was time to let go; Meg was hanging on because she didn't know that Cherie would be OK if she left.

Around midnight on Friday, Cherie passed my apartment to see if I was back from my out of town business trip; Megan was too heavy for Cherie to carry. I was not yet back so Cherie returned by her self to the internist. After handing Cherie a bill for $1050 (every last penny she had and then some), Dr. Itkins said Meg was still too groggy from the anesthesia and had lost the use of her back legs. Cherie should "go find a Chinese restaurant then come back in a couple of hours." He is well known to be an excellent specialist but we have never been impressed with his bedside manner and inability to listen to what we had to say. Meg is too heavy for Cherie but she wanted to get Meg home so she wouldn't have to stay at a vet's, especially Itkins. Somehow Cherie managed to get Meg in to the car and then it took her ½ hour to get her from the car to the apartment. She put Meg in her special bed and laid down with her until Meg finally fell asleep from exhaustion. Cherie went in to her bedroom to lay down and take a break. A couple of times during the night, Cherie spotted Meg in the doorway and thought she had gotten a little better but then Cherie went in to the living room and Meg was still in her bed; Meg's spirit was separating from her body. Cherie spent a lot of time snuggling and petting her to make her comfortable.

Cherie got the name of a vet that puts pets to sleep in their own home. They came to the apartment around mid-day on Saturday and, of course, Megan being the social butterfly that she is, got very excited but was unable to move very much. Cherie, the vet, the assistant, and Megan all laid on the floor. The vet gave her a sedative and Megan finally relaxed, for the first time in many days. Even her hard stomach relaxed, her heavy breathing returned to normal and she just laid back while everyone petted her. Megan never turned down attention.

Finally Megan realized that it was OK to let go and Cherie gave the Final Word. After a few seconds and a final sigh, Megan closed her eyes and everyone could feel a very special peacefulness permeating the room.

The Vet, the assistant, and Megan left the apartment for the final time. I'm sure Cherie felt a very deep sense of loss of someone far beyond just a friend. Someone to greet her at the door with unabashed excitement, someone with unquestioned loyalty, someone to love and to snuggle. Cherie had just lost a very special part of her life.

Cherie was so kind and loving to have Meg pass on at home so peacefully and surrounded with love to send her on her journey, but then Cherie has always been that way, always giving in such special and creative ways. The final piece of her "old" life is now gone and it is time for a truly new beginning. Just when Cherie thought she couldn't take any more, one more thing was taken, a most precious gift, and now truly is alone. May God watch over her and help her find peace and love on her new journey. I pray this is something she can overcome and use as energy to go on. Cherie's friend said that Brooks (our previous and very intuitive dog) has been waiting for Megan to leave before coming back in another dog body. Cherie and Brooks had an incredibly spiritual bond unlike anything I have ever witnessed. Brooks will make it back and Cherie will know when she does.

"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.  
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.  
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable."

At the end of this writing, I realized there was no mention of what I am going through.

Megan and I were best buds. When I was on the couch, she would come over, lay next to me and rest her head on my lap. I would gently stroke her head and down her back; she would fall asleep. We had a very special routine every time I visited. She would "let" me take her outside to the woods where she would pee and poop. It was easy for her to poop when I took her out; I was The Poop Master! She would spend overnights with me sometimes when Cherie needed additional rest or was away for a day or two. She spent several weeks with me while Cherie was in the hospital. Meg would always sleep on my bed, or should I say, in the middle of my bed, a real leaner needing to be close, to touch.

I am missing her immensely, already. Cherie thought it was best not to let me know all the details until Meg had gone. Meg's spirit was there but her body was tired and worn out and Cherie wanted me to remember Meg when she was healthy. My dad was in very poor health in his last six months but I never saw him that way so when he died unexpectedly of a heart attack, all my memories of him were as a healthy father. I believe Cherie remembered that experience and made the decision that she did. When Meg passed, Cherie was also very vulnerable. A few weeks ago, had already made the decision to do a major separation in our post-divorce relationship. If I had been there on Saturday, it would have confused both of us and possibly we would have lost the progress we had already made on our journeys to separateness.

The only time I have cried this much was one night when Cherie was in the hospital near death and I went home to freshen up. It was fifteen minutes of uncontrolled bawling that came in waves. My current wave of tears is mingled both for Cherie and for my pain and emptiness of our loss of a very special friend.

Megan, may your spirit now be at peace and your new life filled with strength and health and chipmunks and squirrels to chase, and birds to flush out of bushes. Farewell, my friend, farewell.

She was a very special friend, the kind that you could count on till the end...
She showed me through the times of sorrow, for with her I knew I could get through tomorrow...
She filled my life with happiness, and laughter, and I thought we would be together for always and ever after...
Now she's left me here all alone, and I feel as if my heart turned to stone...
The tears roll down upon my face, almost as if they were taking part in a race...
My soul feels lost roaming in yonder in the dark, the only sound of rescue being her soft oh so sweet bark...
I'm yearning for our time shared back, if only a miracle I did not lack...
Please wait for me my beloved friend, as all I look forward to is the time we will once again spend...
Until then, in my heart you'll be, soon my soul will join yours in being set free...
Greet me there at those pearly gates, for meeting you was simply fate...
We will walk together side by side, and of course your occasional favorite car ride...
So fly for now my furry friend, for together again we will be in the end!

I love you Mercedes!!

Mercy, You were very much loved and will always be. You were a very kind and loving dog. Harriett and Charles Anthony Durham,Maine

Mewsy became my companion on October 30, 2003, when I adopted her from the Humane Society in St. Louis, MO. She was estimated at the time to be about three. In less than a year, I had become lost without her. She had gone to the HS for a cyst removal surgery and I didn't know what to do with myself without her there.

She always followed me around and contented herself by sitting near me -- often by a computer desk, where I would spend hours at a time. Sometimes she was on the desk or left her fur on the computer itself. Later in her life my computer desk was next to a bed where I slept just so she could lay near me. A few times I awake to find her head resting on my bent arm, with her body next to mine. Indeed, she nuzzled me that way only minutes before I said good-bye to her for the last time. That memory and the doctor telling me that she fought getting the IV inserted that would administer her farewell haunts me. I miss her everyday. She truly was the best friend I ever had.

Once she hid my keys so I had trouble going to an appointment and more than once she'd run into a closet where I kept my coats and shoes, as if she could stop me from leaving (and once she was stuck in there for a few hours).

I moved with her across several states -- from Missouri to Pennsylvania (two different locations there) to Tennessee to New Jersey. She would seemingly cry for hours in the car, despite my efforts to minimize the trauma by blackening windows and giving her space to move. I got used to her meowing to a degree; it confirmed that she was okay, though upset.

I still catch myself looking for her outside a bathroom door or feeling her paws press upon the mattress of my bed. I thought one night I heard her purr -- twice -- though she was already gone.

Adnocarcinoma took her rather quickly from me. Once I found out that I had not had her first tumor removed in time to prevent lymph node invasion and tumor regrowth, it seemed nothing I did helped her for all that long. She only lasted about four months after receiving her diagnosis. Though slowly some things worsened, much about her health rapidly declined over about a week's time. She started that week ripping apart a bag of catnip and spreading it around my bedroom. At week's end she could only lick her chops when some salmon was placed in front of her, then she put her head back down.

She was a friendly cat to people, though it was rare that she accepted being held. She was especially fond of boiled chicken and liked a little ice cream every now and then, too. I was especially proud of the fact that over about a two-year period I had taught her to come to me when I snapped my fingers. She knew she would be praised for it, rather than reprimanded for whatever mischief had prompted me to make that noise. She once got outside and I was compelled to test her on this. I snapped my fingers; she came straight away, though she still seemed scared she'd be reprimanded. In light of the passing of my first cat, Sarah, I had determined to treat Mewsy like a princess. I can only hope that by her estimation I succeeded over the 7 years, almost 8 months that I got to call her mine. Of course, I always freely told her that she owned me; it was true. I think it's still true.

Our little angel is gone. She put up such a fight and I think that is why the Vet didn't think her issues were as serious as they were. I think her being so strong masked her situation to them. I miss her so much and have her two blankets on me constantly to try to feel like she is close to me. We were inseparable for 9 yrs and I feel like a huge part of my life has been taken with her passing. Mia, I can only hope that we are reunited one day. I love you so much...I will love you forever. I hope you can hear me when I call out the many nicknames I had for you when I look at your pictures. I am so happy that I had the honor of you being so close to me for 9 years. You will be close to me for many more years to come in my mind and heart. I love you my sweet baby.

Mia, my favorite little schnauzer girlfriend..

This morning our little girl, Mia, passed away, losing her fight with pancreatitis. As near as we could tell Mia was 14. We’re not exactly sure of her age as we got her as a rescue. When we adopted her we wanted to give her a new name as my wife didn’t like the one she had. My daughter, who was instrumental in getting Mia for us through the Michigan Animal Adoption Network, said, “She’s a little dog. She should have a little name…Mia.”

I have never met a sweeter, more-gentle creature, or one who gave me such unconditional love. The first day in our home she jumped up on the sofa and cuddled up next to me and claimed me and my heart. I was her boyfriend and she was my girlfriend and that was final. A bond was made that moment and will continue between us for eternity. Despite her small stature she was also my protector. The first week with us, she “jumped into the middle” of a play-fight I was having with my older schnauzer-buddy, Otto. Poor Otto (a larger miniature schnauzer at 24 pounds) was so perplexed when the much smaller (16 pound) Mia came to my rescue and pushed Otto away. It was the only time that I saw her exhibit any aggressive feature and even then it was defensive. Mia shared our homes, our meals, our bed, and our life for 12 years and they were happy years for her and all of us. She always had our love and in return gave us companionship, warmth and happiness. I can already see that her companion, Chase, misses her too. In this life we don’t have many real, true friends, and I just lost one. I know my tears are for me because she had a wonderful life but the pain in my heart is real.

Someday we will all be together again, the “pack”, Mia, Abercrombie, Otto and Chase and all the future “guys and gals” who we bring into our family. All our schnauzers will be one, big, happy pack with me right in the middle of it. We will all be healthy, and young and strong again and will run, jump, chase, cuddle and snooze together. Until that time I will miss them all and today I miss my Mia the most. I love you, sweetheart. I will ALWAYS love you.

Your Mikey …with a broken heart.

Dear Mickey,

Happy Birthday pal! Another year has passed and I still miss you incredibly.I hope you're doing well and that you are enjoying yor special day. I think of you every day and I truly believe that we will be reunited one day. Until then please know that I will always love you and miss you with all my heart.

Love always,  
Stefan

Our beautiful boy who loved to run and run and run is now running in the green fields at the Rainbow Bridge. Mika loved the outdoors. When he came to us in April 1999 he had never been in a house. He was so scared to go up the front steps that he jumped the three feet onto the porch. At first he would not go in the house, but Maverick (his elder brother) and I ran around and around out little house until Mika learned to trust us and ran into the house with us. He was always very private and dignified.

Mika was a natural herder and would try to round up the cattle in the pasture across the road from our New Mexico house. He was also a great hunter, having killed and eaten everything from a mouse to a muskrat. He wasn't a digger so his big brother would always finish up the meal by burying the left overs for another day.

When Mika was 7 we left our New Mexico home in the mountains and moved to a little town in Iowa. For the first time Mika learned to walk on a leash, it was not his favorite thing to do. He loved spending time at our little farm or at the cemetery where he could safely run free.

Mika hated thunder storms, gun shots and fireworks. He spent many stormy nights huddled under the basement steps here in Iowa.

Mika was a very mixed breed but the shelter where we rescued him said he was shepherd and collie. He had the most beautiful white soft undercoat which he shed twice a year. The cancer that ended his life was said to be most common in German shepherds, so perhaps that was his true heritage. I thought he looked like a beautiful coyote. There will never be another Mika, he was truly one of a kind.

You were there for Andy from the start. You were there for all of us forever and always. You were our champion ready with a smile only you could do to lift our spirits and make us forgive all you did. You were so loveable my Mikeyman. Forever in our hearts. Please watch over Mr. Bud...he will miss you more than you know. Maizie girl is there with you now. Run, play, smile, and be happy my Mikey you are strong again.

Love,  
Andy, Mom, and Dad

To my Beloved Mikki,  
You brought so much joy to my life and I thank God for the gift of you.  
May you always know from Heaven above that I love you more than words can say.  
Thank you my dear baby girl for your unyielding love, devotion, joy. May your beautiful spirit live on in Heaven for Eternity and may our Lord Jesus Christ watch over you for all eternity.  
I love you baby girl.

Miles, my dear sweet boy, I miss you so much. I miss the sound of your footsteps coming down the hallway and you laying under my desk at my feet. I miss you meeting me at the door when I get home from work. I miss you "killing" your toys in the living room. I miss you so politely asking for an ice cube to crunch up. I miss so patiently waiting for your good night cookie. I miss your little cries of delight when you got to go for a ride and the way you showed off in front of the girls when we came home. I miss "Milesy Time" when you would come sit quietly in front of me and wait to be petted. I miss you playing in the turle pool. And most of all I miss the day you ran up and picked me. You're in a better place now and all of your hurts are gone. Miles my sweetheart I miss you.

Miley wasn't really my pet, but I loved her almost as much as the young man who owned her. She was a very sweet, affectionate little friend. She was a constant companion to my young friend. When you saw him, you saw Miley. He's had several pet rats, but Miles, as we sometimes called her, was his absolute favorite. She was the mom of the two boy rats I now have. She was a wonderful little pal. She usually rode on his shoulder. We both miss her a lot. I know God is taking care of her now. Miley is still loved, and we will always remember her. In the picture, she is sitting at the top of a Christmas tree in my house. The picture was taken in December of 2010.  
Miley, you are still in our hearts. We will always love you.

My Millie, I remember the first time I saw you - just a terrified bundle of brown fur huddled in your litter box at the shelter. No one would have ever picked you. I kept going to see you and then you came forward in your cage and sniffed my finger. You let me touch you. And then you came home. It took awhile to settle in and learn to trust us, but you did. Even when you were afraid you didn't hurt anyone. You were such a sweet gentle girl. And beautiful. Millie I am so sorry. You must have been so confused that no one was there to let you in. We found your tracks in the morning at the back and at the front, and the path that you had plowed through the snow. It haunts me that I let you down. You came to trust that we would look after you and I let you down. Can you ever forgive me? Did someone let you in that morning and you are safe and warm? I long for an answer.

I'll never forget you again.  
Promise.

Milly....our gorgeous and faithful "red dog". We found you at the Lost dogs home and you became part of our lives. Thankyou for 11 years of love and loyalty....we love you Mill....RIP.

My best pug friend, I had to let you go. Nine years was a long time, but looking back now it went by to fast. I had to let you go and let you be free of all your pain and suffering. You were my best friend, my companion and the reason why I was always happy. You always knew when I was sad, and you would lay your head on my chest. I miss your snorting that put me to sleep. The silence now is to much to bare. I miss your wrinkled face and your loud sneezes. I miss feeling your warmth behind my knees while we slept. I miss everything about you. I need help to make it thru this. I am so sorry you got ill, but I did what was best for you. I can't wait to reunite with you, hold you in my arms again. The pain I am feeling is weakening me to the bone. I love you so much Milo, and I miss you tremendously! Kaelynn misses you too and keeps asking when you're coming back. Say hello to grandpa and uncle don for me and watch over us day to day, but don't forget to go run and play,...your legs are healed now and you can stand! Goodbye my baby Milo, until I see you again! I miss and love you

You came into my life with such zest and zeal
With little almond eyes my heart you did steal.
You galloped, you pranced you made my heart dance
Our bond was so strong that I left nothing to chance.
But now every day that you're gone I can't help but cry,
Because you're looking down on me with little almond eyes.

It's 5 years later and we still miss you everyday. You brought such joy into the lives of so many people, even to those who didn't know that they were "dog people". I treasure the thought that we will meet again in heaven someday -- I'll be the person with a ball for you to play with! I love you Mindie <3

My sweet Mindy, I can't believe you are no longer here and that I won't be able to hold or hug you anymore. You were the best dog anyone could ask for. I'll never forget the day we brought you home and all the other special moments we shared - celebrating your birthdays, holidays, putting you in Jets/Yankee jerseys...You were a best friend, a little sister, and a loyal companion. You will always hold a special place in my heart that will never be filled by anything else. I will love you forever my sweet little Mindy.

My Sweet Gracey Girl, I will Forever Love You and I must say Thank You for being my cat and I give my Thanks to God as well, for guiding you to me on that cold winter day in 1997. Having you with me through all our travels together is the greatest Joy I have ever known. You touched my heart with your kind ways and innocence, and made me smile and laugh, Countless times. I let you go today because your body was giving out on you and there was nothing more I could do to help you, though I tried. I Love the way we said Goodbye, looking deeply into each other's eyes, something we had done, many times before. The last time was the most special because I know you saw me Loving You as you went to rest, and that's exactly how it was. Our house is empty without you here, and I can't wait to hold you and hear you purring next to me again. You've been my Angel in life, and will be so until I can be with you, again. I So look forward to that day. You have plenty of grass to eat now, I know how you love that. Enjoy the meadows and streams, and the trees and all the animals, and watch for me. If your spirit can come back to me in another cat body, I hope you will. We have more to do together. I will be watching for signs, and I won't miss them if by chance I see you again here on earth. I Love You, Miss Grace. Always in Love with You, Andy

You came to us as a stray kitten and you remained with us for 21 years. You never missed a chance to join in on our Christmas celebrations because there were so many wonderful things to get into. You managed to charm all the men and women who visited our house. We were always amazed at how you always knew when we needed comforting. You gave us many memorable moments in our 21 years together and we will not forget you. Until we meet again on the Rainbow Bridge. We love you and miss you.

THERE WILL BE BIG SUGGS AND ANGEL HER CANINE FRIENDS NOT FORGETTING HER OTHER FELINE FRIENDS BIG LAZY AND ALEXIS - AND HER OTHER WEE FRIEND DAISY. NOW ALL PLAYING HAPPILY TOGETHER.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU MY LITTLE PUPSY - MAMMYS LITTLE FURRY GIRL TINY. XOXOXO

You wre a very special little lab who touched the hearts of all who knew you. Your mums and big sis Miss Ellie will never forget you. We all miss you so much. rest in peace little bear. xxx

Missy, although it has only been one day since we had to let you go, it is so hard on your mommy and daddy. Our grief is indescrible. Our tears continue to flow, but I know that we have to go on because we still have your baby Sam whom is also grieving for your loss. I called your doctors office today to make sure they call us as soon as your cremains are back. When we have you back with us, we will put you the livingroom. When we first moved to the area, you would jump a 4 foot partition, just to see us. When we moved again,we took you with us. That is when we found out you were going to have Sam.You have brought so much joy. Your harness and leash are still on the table from we walked in the door yesterday.  
We feel your presence everywhere. Last night was tough because as your daddy called it, Missy isn't wedging in between us or hogging the covers. We know in our heart yu are in a better place and not in pain. They say time heals, but this my little girl is going to take alot of time. Like I used to tell you Momma loves you Missy, why?, because your my girl!!Eventually we will get another playmate for Sam, but as your daddy says she'll never take your place, she's just taking your space.

Love your Mommy and Daddy

Words cannot even begin to express how empty our lives are without our sweet baby, Missy. Fifteen years ago we found Missy when she was only 7 or 8 weeks old and from that very first day, she captured our hearts and became our baby girl. We have so many wonderful memories and funny stories about her and remembering all of those special times we've shared with her is helping us during this very difficult time. Missy was a beautiful Black Lab mix and the happiest, friendliest, most pleasant dog anyone could ever ask for and; she was our best friend and companion. You will always remain in our hearts and I know that one day as you are romping around playing in the fields, you will look up and see us standing there, calling your name, and then we can finally be together again. Rest in peace sweet baby girl and know that we love you with all of our hearts and miss you very, very much.

Misty, We are so lucky to have had you in our lives. Your gentle and sweet personality will be terribly missed. You will be in our thoughts as long and we live.

Thank you for all of the love you gave each of us to the extent that we all felt like you loved each one of us best. That was your gift to us, your unconditional love and acceptance. And even when we brought other cats into our home you unconditionally loved them as well.

Every visitor that entered our home was greeted by your warm and loving personality.

I am so sorry that you became sick with liver disease. Love and peace forever, Misty!!!

Love, Jane, Bradley and Derek

I miss you so much, but I know that you are happy now in Heaven. I love you so very, very much and I hope that you know how much I love you. You are such a kind and gentle spirit and you brought so much joy and happiness to me. I know that one day we will be together again for all of eternity with all those we love. I love you my Mistybaby. Until we are together again...  
Love, Mommy

Dearest Misty Mutt :)

You were far better than I deserved but I treasured every minute. Now that you are gone, I wish I could have all those minutes back to show you more, harder, better how much I loved you. I am taking comfort in all the happy memories that we made and remembering the fun that we had, the tail wags, the nose kisses and how you took care of me, too. I am counting on you waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge for more tail wags and nose kisses. I always loved you the best.

All my love, Kathleen

Dear Mitsou,

I know that death is the end of a life but not the end of a relationship.

I still feel the connection we had and I will love you forever.

I know you are an angel and that you are protected me and Lili.

I wish you well over the Rainbow Bridge. I hope you enjoy every minute of your endless freedom and that you don't restrain yourself because of me. You deserve to be happy for all the happiness you brought me.

If you decide you want to stay close by, you are welcome. There is always a place for you, your place in my heart and in my soul. You were never a prisoner, you chose me as much as I chose you and I thank you for being a part of my life.

Take care of yourself Baby.

I look forward to joining you when it is my time to go over the Rainbow Bridge.

Love xx

In the summer of 1998, my grandson found a tiny kitten in an empty house and brought it home - i was concerned because i knew it had a mother but the next day the house was torn down and she would have been killed - she got named mittens because she had 2 perfect little mittens on her front feet and boots on the back feet. Her coloration was a dark tabby, most black - she was maine coon cat mixed and she grew into a big cat - i think the reason i had such a personal bond with her is that we hand fed her for about 4 weeks - and she became my cat - my family was going to some really bad stuff and mittens really became my best friend. She shared her life with me for almost 13 years, sleeping with me and laying on my computer desk when i was on computer - she never yowled much but chirped and purred the most - because of other problems, about 2 years ago she developed copd and was put on presidone for her breathing - this last month she was having more trouble breathing even on the pill - and i believe she did die from asthma attack - i was not able to get her to a vet late at nite before easter so i feel a lot of guilt about that but friend said she did not suffer long. mittens, wherever you are, you will always be my favorite and bestest kitty. tho it dont show good in photo she had the prettiest green eyes with dark green

My dear Mitzi, you gave us 14 wonderful years. We will never forget you, their is a huge whole in our hearts now. One day we all be together again. But we now know you are at peace and young again, playing with Roxie and Jessie.  
With soo much love  
Mama, Tata, Miska, Mary, and Betka

One year ago today Mitzi my heart was broken when I found out that cancer had to put an end to our loving and wonderful relationship. Not a day goes by that I don't think about the fun, laughter, and good times we had together for almost 11 years. I'd gotten you through a few bumpy roads sweetheart but this is one I found myself powerless and unable to do anything except pray. Today I still pray that God has you in his care and you're whole and well again, and waiting patiently for my arrival. Dear God, thank you for bringing Mitzi into my life and please take good care of her for me. Love you always sweetie.

Mo Vaughn, our family will miss you so much. We aren't a family without you and we will never be able to replace you no matter what. You always cheered us up with your sweet innocent eyes, and your cute little smiling mouth. No dog will ever fill the void that you have left in our hearts and we would never want one too. You meant the world and then some to us, and all we can hope is that you are happy and making lots of little, or big, puppy friends. We love you Mojo and forever will.

Mocha was just a kitten when he was found under someone's air vent under their house. The founder took him door to door asking if he was theirs. My dad fell in love with him, an adorable little tyke with a white underbelly and black raccoon mask with light colored fur that eventually darkened as he got older.
We took him in immediately where my dad came up with the name, Mocha for his colored fur mixture was like the drink. That was 1998, nearly 14 years ago.
Over those 13 and a half years, Mocha had gotten into a fair share of troubles, one night coming home after escaping outside, only I to look for him, nearly giving up and praying to god he'd return safe with his companion Latte', another kitten we had found that same day as he.
He came home as I waited past midnight all excited to be home. But the next morning we found he had been bit and his leg became infected. After costly surgery he was fixed up good as new causing trouble like it was no one's business.
He was always a very friendly cat, we had taught him all sorts of tricks and he knew his name very well. He'd even quietly respond to you if he felt the need. But he always understood two things, "Come here Mocha!" when we felt like he needed a little love, and "No!" when he was bad.
Mocha was always happy when I came home, always wanting to be rubbed, his belly scratched and told goodnight before I went to bed. Over the near 13 and a half years, I always felt his death would come without my knowing, missing, alone, afraid.
Sadly, on Christmas Eve of 2011, while only a few feet from my bedroom door where he liked to watch me work hoping I'd invite him to my room like usual, went into convulsions dying in my mother and I's arms. It shocks us greatly that such an active member of my family, a healthy if not stocky snow shoe cat, could die so suddenly, on a blessed holiday such as Christmas.
Mocha is gone now, the pain weighs heavily on my heart, but grateful that my dad, who took him in, who lives so far away now, was able to see him and say hello and merry Christmas just moments before his death. I will miss his loud purrs and his hungry attitude, always begging for the noms he enjoyed, and the rubs he received. Running to my bed as I talked to my girlfriend, or playing games with me to get a purr. Looking out my bedroom window to see the activity near by.
Good bye Mocha, a member of my family who I will always remember and cherish our friendship so much. I miss you buddy, I miss you.

EVERY ASPECT, EVERYTHING WE DID, IN OUR EVERY THOUGHT, YOUR COMFORT AND SAFETY WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. IF WE DID NOT CARE, WE WOULD NOT BE SURE TO BRING HOME TOYS, GET THE FOOD YOU LIKED, WRAP YOU IN BLANKETS TO KEEP YOU WARM, TALK TO YOU LIKE WE DO TO OTHER BEINGS ON THIS LITTLE PLANET. AND…….YOU UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING. YOU KNEW WHEN WE WERE HAPPY, SAD OR FELT BAD. MODIE, YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE, TO COMFORT US TOO……………
WITHOUT YOU WE ARE LOST………..YET KNOWING YOU ARE NOT HURTING OR DESPERATLY TRYING TO HANG ON………..IS A COMFORT…STILL…………WE ARE LOST WITHOUT YOU.

Our dear sweet Little Moe - - we love you with all our heart. Your funny little ways, your puppy kisses, your happy smile, your endearing affection, all that you brought to our lives. YOU are the most gentle and sweet boy ever. We will miss you every day of our lives but you will be with us wherever we go. we will never let you leave our hearts. We will always look forward to when we see your beautiful, sweet little face. Death cannot part who is in our heart. We love you today, tomorrow and forever. We know you have but slipped away to await us. Forever yours - - Mom & Dad

I can't believe you won't be at the door waiting for me anymore when I get home. You always said "Hi, Momma" and greeted me everyday. I am glad you are happy now, because I was so worried about you while you were sick these last six months. You were a trouper to the end, going for our walks even last week in the snow. Daddy and I miss you so much, but I know you are happy because you came to see me last night when I laid down on the bed. You looked like you did before you were sick, and you were smiling at me wagging your tail. You said "Momma, I'm alright now - see, I'm smiling". Then later, I saw you flying and smiling again! I guess you went to the Rainbow Bridge to wait for your Daddy and me. Don't worry...I look forward to seeing you again, too.

We love you, Poot  
Mommy and Daddy

MOLLIE...MY SWEET GIRL, MY LITTLE WIGGLE BUTT...I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I HATE COMING HOME AFTER WORK TO A HOUSE WITHOUT YOU THERE WAITING FOR ME...SO EMPTY AND SO LONELY..

YOUR MOM  
TAFFY XXOOXXOO

R.I.P my beautiful girl, a wonderful loyal companion.

To my Molly McButter ... I miss you more than I can say. Last night was the first night in 15 years that I didn't have you on the pillow next to my head purring me to sleep. You were found under a dumpster in Virginia and you could not have been a better kitty or friend - in good times and bad, over all these years you were always there. Kitten misses you. Love you always, Mommy.

I can't imagine our life without molly our best friend for 15 years the fun the tears the teeth so sadly missed my heart is broken until we meet again we will love her forever X

My dearest Molly,
1 week ago today we lost you. My sadness is overwhelming.
You were our sweet puppy for 15 years. I know it was your time, but I will always miss you.
You gave us unconditional love which we happily returned. You could sense my sadness and lick away every tear.
When I come into our house now I naturally look for you in your favorite places. You loved the closet under Daddy's clothes, the red couch in the living room which you shed on so badly and I would do anything now for just 1 piece of your fur. You loved to sleep inside the pillows on my bed, how you got in there without moving anything I will never know. You also loved laying at the landing on the second floor and looking out the window.
You especially, in the past year, loved for me to hold you. And I loved so much to rub your sweet head, feel your heart beat, and smell and touch your very soft coat.
I will never forget you when you were younger playing on the hill in our backyard. You loved the scent of chipmunks, squirrels and rabbits. You would run for hours trying your best to catch one of these critters.
I cherish our long walks, even though we stopped to sniff more than walk.
You loved "people" food and you protected your find fiercely. You could snag food from the garbage can, take it underneath the dining room table and no one who cared to keep their fingers could get near you.
You slept with me every night of your life and there is such a huge void in our bed without you there.
I have put your pictures everywhere- you will never be forgotten.
The neighbors used to tell me that they hoped when they died they would come back as you.
Sweet Molly- you gave me the best 15 years of my life. You were and always will be so adored. I know you are in heaven, waiting for me. I'll see you again my baby....
I Love You

My dear mommy, you had a very hard first couple of years. I am so glad Daddy and I came into your life! You have been nothing but a pleasure in our lives!! Now that you r at rainbow bridge you can play and run with Jr.! He will be so happy to see you! We will love and miss you forever Mommy. Say hi to Jr for us and we all be together again one day!!

Mona was my 14 year old potbelly pig. She was vary loved and will be missed forever....

My sweet Mona Lisa,

I miss you so much. Thank you for picking me as your Mama. You have taught and given me so much. I will love you forever and hope to see you again in heaven.  
Love,  
Camilla

To my beloved Monet. Words cannot describe the love I have for you your unconditional love will be in my heart forever. You filled a void in my life when I needed unconditional love and support no other could give. I will miss the touch of your soft fur and your cold nose pressing against my cheek when I held you in my loving arms. I hope to spend more great time with you someday in the future, but until then have fun on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

My Best Friend, My One True Love

You are Sadly Missed, Remembered and Loved Daily. I wish I had one more day with you Every Day!

You Are Forever In My Heart and Will Never Be Forgotten!!

To my best friend Monty!

You was with me over 29 years and we spent the best times together. We won all the shows and competed at state levels, then when the time came that i was too big for you it was decided that you would retire. You have spent the last 15 years kicking your heels up and being thoroughly spoilt.

I am so pleased that you were never sick and you chose to to just go to sleep and not wake up. I don't know if I could ever have made that decision for you as I love you way too much!!!!!

Not many ponies make it into their 40s and you made it well into yours and had a fantastic life especially for the last 30 years.

I am going to miss you more than you will ever know.

Sleep peacefully my gorgeous baby. I love you so much.

Mummy xxxxxx

Morgan,. My first baby. You will be known as my first love, always and forever. I remember when you were a kitten and you attacked the hand, and slept on my side. You were never the one to connect with another cat, but with Grace I know you did. When you got sick and she did too,. you both suffered. But you both fought for your lives. And I can only hope that I gave you both a happy life. Morgan you battled this illness for almost 2 years. There was no cure, and I had to let you go, cause your life here was over, but I know I will see you again. Come back to me baby girl, or I will see you when mine ends. My first love, true love, Morgan.

You really became a good buddy, Morris. Your sister Miss Tangers and I are missing you so very, very, much. It's good for you that your suffering was brief. We love you.

Moses, our beautiful, handsome angel boy. I ask God to bend His ear to me, to listen to the beat of my shattered heart, and to give me some sign - a sign that is above and beyond the myth of rainbow bridge, that there truly is a place in the heaven He has promised to those who believe in His Son, for an animnal who was loved as much as you were. Lord you know how much we loved him, you know how devastated we are at his death. We thank you Father was the gift of his life, for teaching our family how to love a dog found abandoned by the river. Good night and God bless Moses xxxxx

Dear Mousie

God be with you until we meet again;
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again;
When life's perils thick confound you;
Put His arms unfailing round you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again;
Keep love's banner floating o'er you,
Strike death's threatening wave before you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.

My beloved Mousie

You gave me 6 wonderful years of happiness,,Which I will cherish for ever lasting, I am sorry I was overly protective but not there to protect you when you most needed me, but promise I will make it up to you when we meet again, Know how much I loved you, and I will continue loving you,,Until then .. enjoy the sun and warmth of Heaven and rejoice in the health and freedom that forever will be yours ,,Thank you for all that you gave me.
Again Sorry I wasn't there to protect you when you needed me the most,,,

I miss you... and will always remember you..

Mousie 04-21-2005----10-04-2010

RIP

Mowmow, you were such a great kitty and I am so happy to have had you in my life for the past 11 years. I love you and will miss you everyday. Our home is not going to be the same without your quirky little ways. Just know that you will be in my heart for always.

"Force of determination, character or nerve." That's the definition of Moxie that led me to choose your name when I rescued you from that ratty trailer 11 years ago. You didn't give in easily then, and your feisty spirit, independence and intelligence lived up to your name your entire life. It's difficult to accept that our time together is no more. How do I say goodbye to a friend who was with me through the darkest days of my life? The fact that you shunned all other people and animals but showed utter devotion to me made our relationship all the more special. The hole in my heart will not heal soon. RIP my Moxie girl.

It is said my, dear furry child, that a good dog loves his Human more than he loves himself....I love[d] more then I could ever love myself...I long for your eyes looking up to see if I am here with you, your unconditional love. YOU saw me through some of the most difficult times of my life. YOU were always here for me, when others were not. I regret I may not always have been there for you.....know that my hand searches every night to stroke you...and in return ,receive your 'doggy kisses'. You, dear Bubba, had been my closest and most consistent companion and friend. I thank you for all the love you shared with me....it is with a broken heart I have/had to say 'goodbye' to you. Your last lick kiss will always be cherished as I don't know if it was a final Thank you [for putting you out of your suffering] or a last I love you. Until we can be together again, know that I will always miss you deeply, you will always be in my heart and thoughts and prayer my furry 'son'...............Thank you for all that you did for me, as you and I and our Creature only knows. Lovingly, your Human "Mom" xxxxooxxx

Mr. Pie... Pie-Pie... Pie-Baby... Sleepytime Pie... you loved all your names. A huge orange & white feral rescue who turned out to be a gentle teddy bear.

Beloved Pie: You're the 3rd of our babies in these Tributes (Skeeze, 2001; Anthony, 2002; and you, 2009). Oh Pie, would that it were not so. Sadly, there is another to add for 2010: our Daisy is gone too.

This is for you, my special boy...

"THE PIE"
Pie-Pie you've not gone away... your journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets... and earth was only one.

I think of you as resting from your sorrow, pain and tears -
In a place of warmth and comfort with neither days nor years.

I think of how you're wishing to put your gentle paws to my
lips today,
To tell me that the sadness in my darkened heart will one day
Pass away.

I'll think of you and see you living in the hearts of those
You touched...
For nothing loved is ever lost - and God, you're still loved...
So much!

And so good night dear Pie-Baby, my Sleepy-time Pie.
Your last breath is still inside me, until the end is nigh.
We'll love you to the stars and back...
You... and Daddy... and I.

I only had the pleasure of fathering Mrs. Pearl for about a year and a half. During that time, she stole my heart. Mrs. Pearl helped me mourn the loss of my previous cat, Mr. Wiggins. She bravely fought her kidney failure disease. I'll always remember her love and being one of God's beautiful blessings. I love you Mrs. Pearl. You & Mr. Wiggins take care of each other, and have fun playing together in Heaven. See you someday my baby...

Love,  
Tarryn

You left your paw prints forever on my heart. I know you are with Jesus at Rainbow Bridge; you were too wonderful and precious to be anywhere else. Life is not the same without you, it is very empty and as hard as it has been to lose you, I will cherish the years we had together. I miss brushing your hair each morning and fixing your bow, I miss how cute you would look when you wanted a pup bone, how you would ‘kissey’ ‘kissey’ me each morning and at night when I returned from work, our afternoon naps on weekends, how you loved to swim in the pool. You were so precious and sweet. We were so dependent on each other and I feel a part of me is missing now. I shall cherish and hold all the beautiful memories we shared in my heart forever. Thank you for sharing your life with me. I am comforted by the thought that we will have all of eternity together. Until I can see you, hold you, and kiss you again when we meet at Rainbow Bridge, may you romp and play with your new friends. With all my love, Mommy

To my dearest Little Dog--you were the best companion I ever had. I miss you so much, and I hope you are now free to roam around Dog Heaven with Randy and Hank.

I am really sorry that I was not able to heal or get rid of your brain tumor. I am sure your episodes of disorientation and collapse were very painful.

You shall live on in my heart, and I'm going to volunteer to walk dogs at the Humane Society, to make up for all the walks we have taken.

Your loving Mom,  
Barbara

MY SWEET MUFFY,

THANKING ME FOR RESCUING YOU 15 YEARS AGO FROM THOSE TERRIBLE PEOPLE WHO WERE HURTING YOU, BEATING YOU UP FOR NO REASON WHEN YOU WERE ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD......MUFFY WE DID HAVE A VERY HAPPY LIFE TOGETHER AND I THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT WITH ME.

WHERE EVER YOU ARE, LET ME KNOW THAT YOU ARE OK, AND GIVE A BIG WOUFFFF TO YOUR BROTHER TIGER WHO GOT THERE A MONTH AGO.

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH FROM MOMMY, SNOWIE & MISS CALIE WHO ARE MISSING YOU TWO SO MUCH BEING WITH YOU BOTH FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS......

My Mugi, I rarely called you that. You were Buddy. My Buddy. Oh I miss you so. I got your paw print and fur snipping back today and I am heartbroken again. I miss your silly little mustache and your sweet face. You were there for me when I wanted to end my life. You were with me during the darkest times. I only got to have you for a year. I hope I made your life easy and sweet. Oh I miss you my baby. I wish I could know for sure somehow that you are okay. Then I could be at peace. I love you, Buddy. It's a Buddy.

My Snuggle King went to sleep in my arms for the last time after a life of being the cutest kitty, the best kitty in the world. His little bandit face never lost the adorable look of wonder that he had as a baby, a look of pure innocence. He toddled into my heart and still resides there. Murphy, Mommy loves you and always will. St. Francis of Assisi, brother to all creatures, please watch over my Murphy and all pets everywhere.

You gave me so much joy and comfort. You were always there for me. You greeted everyone at the door with a smile, always carrying your stuffed baby (dog) with you. Murphy, you loved everyone and everyone loved you. It was so hard to let you go. You were my best friend and soul mate.

Murphy, you will always be in my heart and you will never be forgotten. I miss you so much...sleep well, my gentle and brave boy. Mom XXX-OOO

To my darling Muscles. Words cannot explain how very much I loved you, how much I still love you and the emptiness I feel inside now that you are gone. You were the rock in my life through so much pain and heartache and gave me so many years of love and happiness. For all the tears you licked away and all the love you gave so unselfishly, you will always have a place in my heart that no-one else can have. I think of you every day and wish I could hold you just one more time. To the world you may just have been a dog but to me you were my baby, my darling child. I pray that you are happy and have lots of friends to play with and that one day you'll be there to meet me when I too cross the Rainbow Bridge. Until then my little pup, remember always that I love and miss you more than words can say. Mom.

I loved you and you loved me; I the way humans love, you the way cats love. Your valiant little heart was stopped this afternoon by the kind veterinarian. Wait for me at the gates, Music.

To mutley harris a dog unique a dog so perky at his peak,fluffy black glossy hair that shone brightly everywhere,for a love of tuna and a walk for miles you brought all who met you so much smiles.To your daddy andy and mummy gerry their hearts are in such slurry, pain they feel for losing you now,will cease now your in peace.a bond you share with andy a special one beyond this will not now waver.

Everyone who ever met you always said how gorgeous you were when they saw you.
Everyone who ever was lucky enough to become your friend for however short or however long, will not forget you.
Especially Leo, your brother.
Especially your little 'brother' Dude.
Especially Paige, and Especially Annabelle your two other sisters.
Especially Mum who misses sharing her toast with you.
Especially me, who know you are no longer in any pain.

Where Did The Years Go / Just One More Time  
When Mary first mentioned that she wanted a little black Poodle, little did either of us know what You had in store for us. The events that would follow in the next short period of time, would come back to help try and comfort us only a short nine and one-half years, later. You were promised to go to someone else, but that wasn't meant to be. We drove so far to get You, only to be unable to find you. We headed back home, frustrated, when a phone call came and we had to turn around; only this time we came straight to You. The trip to get You, determined your name---MYLES. You came to your home and immediately took control of our hearts. Through the years, this bond never faded and only grew stronger and more meaningful. You also took over our bed, where You gave us Snuggles and Cuddles, as only You could. You grew to be the center point of our life. You came to us with two goals in mind------To give love and to get love. (Where did the years go?) You brought joy to our hearts through every stage of your life. You ran---You played---You grew up---but You never failed to give us Your special Love. What would I give to get your never ending licks to my face, and eyes, and ears? What would we give to see You run and play again? What would we give to see You run to me whenever I got home from work? What would we give to see you scratch at the door glass in the kitchen when MAXx would get too close to it? What would we give to take You on one more ride on the motorcycle? What would we give to get snuggles and cuddles? What would we give to take You on a rabbit hunt as only You could hunt? But, Most of all, what would we give to hold You in our arms JUST ONE MORE TIME  
We Love You and Miss You MYLES  
Daddy and Mommy

  Mysti was my savoir after my previous Pomeranian passed. I mourned for her loss everyday when she left. I prayed to God that she would return to me, and she did in the form of a beautiful, well tempered, fun loving little puppy.  
  Mysti meant the world to me. More than many people could understand. She was my best pal and confidant. My spiritual conduit through whom I could talk to God, just by looking through her eyes.  
  She made friends so easily. Even "big dog only lovers" liked her. Never once did she ever bite anyone. She somehow new it was her "job" to make people smile.
If an animal can be your soul mate, then she came as close to being mine as possible.  
  God bless your wonderful soul, Mysti. I love you and miss you. I look forward to the day we meet again and can cross that beautiful rainbow bridge together.

Miss you honey, you were a cute little kitty and a fluffball. At least you had a long life and died in peace. I wish I had you here to pet while I typed this, like you used to sit up on my desk while I studied. I still remember the day I brought you home when you were a little girl. We had a good long time together.
