Year 2011 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "P".

We love you little baby Paco. Your name changed many times all because we loved you and your name grew in our ever-growing love for you. You started as little Merlot when we took you out of that horrible crowded shelter, then we renamed you Leah, then Lee, then Lee Paco Sanchez, then just Paco. You were the runt of the litter, but turned into our little princes. You were the center of our worlds. Your beautiful unique and outgoing personality are sorely missed. You made us laugh, you loved and cared for us, and you made our lives so much happier. We feel lost without you, sweet Paco, our little baby. We enjoyed every minute of spoiling you with people food, cuddles, holdings, wet food, brushes, and treats. We only had 7 years with you, but I would not trade those 7 wonderful years for anything. The pain of losing you is so great - it hurts us physically - we can hardly breathe - but we would rather go through this pain and have known and loved you, than never to have known and loved you at all. Our sweet little Paco.

My precious boy - to have you for almost 16 years was a blessing and a gift from G-D. You came to us at 12 weeks old, a little ball of fluffy black and white fur, the most beautiful Shihtzu I had ever seen. You were such a good boy and never barked too much, never ever snapped or tried to bite - an absolute perfect dog. You stole everyone's heart with your sweetness and kind heart. I loved you for all the years we shared, you and I - I loved you then, I love you now and I will love you forever. I let you go out of love, but with an aching heart. I always promised you that I would never ever let you have any pain or ever see you suffer and that I would be right there with you when the time came to let you go to be with G-D, and as I kissed you as you took your last breath, I knew I had kept my promise to you my sweet, beautiful Panda. I will meet you at Rainbow Bridge and we will be together forever. My Panda, my heart is with you.  
Your Mom

Dear Mr. Pants Kitty, aka Moose, aka Moosepants, aka Prince, aka King Fluff, aka Pantsome, aka Big, aka Large. Yes, you had many names and they all described the big, beautiful, ball of fluff that you were. Your mom and I are still grieving but we're finding it easy to remember all the joyous times you gave us during your fourteen years. Even when you were bad (attacking Egg, destroying things, etc.), we still loved you unconditionally. Egg definitely misses you but we're trying to make her feel better with extra love, hugs and kisses. She's been looking for you during feeding times which makes all of us very, very sad. The apartment is just too quiet without your running back and forth prior to your litter box visits. We would give anything to have you back (even as some sort of spirit/ghost cat), but until then we hope you're happy in a world of limitless bowls of food, kitty friends and all the cardboard you can destroy. We'll love you always, Mom, Dad and Egg

PEANUT YOU WERE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE,,WHEN I WAS BATTLING CANCER YOU WERE AT MY SIDE WHEN I WAS DOWN, YOU WERE SO SPECIAL TO ME I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT, YOU MET ME AT THE DOOR EVERY DAY WHEN I CAME HOME FROM WORK, LAYED ON MY LAP WHILE I WAS WATCHING TV AND PROVIDED ME WITH LOYAL COMPANIONSHIP, FROM THE TIME I FOUND YOU WHEN YOU WERE 4 WEEKS OLD UNTIL YOU PASSED AWAY WITH CANCER THAT WE COULDN'T FIGHT. THE HARDEST WAS SEEING YOU HOOKED UP TO ALL THOSE TUBES, YOUR STRONG HEART STILL BEATING, FIGHTING TO LIVE, BUT THE LOW RED BLOOD COUNT COULDN'T SUPPLY ENOUGH OXYGEN TO YOUR BRAIN EVEN AFTER YOUR TRANSFUSION. I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO KEEP YOU A LITTLE LONGER BUT I HAD TO END YOUR SUFFERING, I AM SO SORRY, MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN PEANO PLAY WITH THE ANGELS UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.

LOVE FOREVER, TIM

I miss you so much, my sweet Peanut! I remember getting you when you were just two weeks old and watching you drink from the bottle. You were the cutest little thing; I loved it when you would climb up my leg all the way up to my arm to get to that milk! Then when you were finished, you just purred and purred. You were always so happy just to be near me and always appreciated any time on my lap or beside me. The vet and I both thought that you were going to be back home with me, but God had other plans. He knew you weren't feeling well, and it was time for you to go home with Him. I can't wait to see you again, buddy, healthy and happy and playing like all cats should be! I love you, Nut Nut, and will miss you always! My heart will always have a big hole in it that will never be filled until we meet again. Love you always!

In memory of Peanut, who passed away from a hidden, underlying heart condition on February 7, 2011.

Princess and the Pea...you were sick and we didn't know it. By the time we did, we had to let you go so quickly. I will never forget my Pearlygirl. Mom, Dad, Wawa & Mia are missing you so much. You were our glue. Daddy & me are so glad we could be with you until you were gone. Pearly girl, love you forever, you were my best friend.

Pearlie Wurlie the squirrlie girlie was our sweet and wonderful white boxer..she had a little brindle around one of her eyes and shadow spots all over.She was so darn cute!!! She was the dog everyone loved and she loved everyone. She would run around and gallop like a horse her ears would flop around and she had the waggiest tail you ever would see!..She would smile and talk to you when she was wound up...she loved her dinner and any scraps of chicken she could talk you out of...she died in our car on her way to a walk along the river...she was very excited and happy and had spent her morning laying in the sun on our garden bridge. She had a wonderful life and our lives are so much better for having her. She leaves behind Max,our brindle boxer, who has was three months old when we got him and he has had her in his entire life.He will miss her cleaning his face and keeping him in line and sleeping side by side by the fireplace.  
We are so sad today...but each day will get better...and we know she's feeling good playing with Tyrone and sushi on the Rainbow Bridge

My Dear Sweet Pebbles - I have loved you so much since you were just a baby of two and a half pounds. You almost made it to your fifteenth birthday. It hurt me so much to see you in pain and struggling from that terrible cancer on your right paw. From the point that it ruptured and the necrotic tissue was visible I knew I had to make the most difficult and painful decision of my life. You comforted me with that last kiss and I held you and cried until your life slipped away. I didn't want to let you go but life/death was bigger than the both of us.

You were always such a wonderful loving dog - pure unconditional love. We had fun, you and I and little sister Sugar going for rides in the car and going to the park. Going for walks in the arroyo and sharing a popsicle on a hot summer day. Sugar misses you and cries for you and it's not easy to explain to her that you're not coming home. She paces through the house looking for you. I forget that you are gone and I call your name - 'Peanut' 'Pebs' 'Pebbelie' - and then I break down and cry.

Sugar is already thirteen and she will probably join you before I but I have asked our beautiful Miles, to combine our ashes when I die so that we can be together forever. I love you Pebbles!

Pepe, my sweet little boy, you were only in my life for one and a half years...but ohhh the fun and the laughs you provided.

Jolene and I will never forget you, will always love you and know you are chasing your little ball on the beach up in heaven!

My little man, my tiny angel had to leave us. Peewee you are still the love of my life and daddy and I miss you so much. You made our house a home and now it sits empty without your loving spirit. I never knew how much this would hurt. You were my first dog and the 12 years you were with us were the happiest of my life. Thank you my little "Bear" for all the unconditional love you gave all of us. Abuelita and Uncle Chris mourn you and love you. We have large holes left in our hearts. You were so sick the last 2 weeks and there was nothing the vets could do anymore. I was with you till the last minute and I'll be with your always. Until we meet again stinky "Bear" wait for us we shall come and find you.

We were blessed to have Penny from the age of 8 weeks. She was the runt of the litter but her heart was not. She was intelligent, obedient, funny, expressive , and affectionate. She really was "part of the family". We are greiving her loss like that of a loved one. The words "She was a good dog." don't do justice to Penny. She didn't have a mean bone in her body. We used to joke that if someone broke in, she would hold the flashlight for them. Her unconditional love, companionship, and obediance was second to none. She will be greatly missed. Our hearts are broken.

Penny, woowoo, princess, boo, my baby girl, booboo and little kitten are some of the main names I long to use when I expect to see my recently passed away 20 yr old soft fine long haired jet black cat with yellow eyes wooo entering the room to say hello as she never meowed just made a sweet litte chirp noise iv never heard a cat make before. She was so relaxed and quiet always the underdog in our house due to three other cats to begin with the last of died in 2009\10 iirc 20 yr old oliver god bless rescued from next door neighbours summer house when snowing some people. But penny was bought 20 yrs ago by my mum from a pet shop for seven shillngs she was tiny and prob taken from her mom too soon but alone in shop so brought home in a tiny little cardboard box with holes in fate really she was as lucky to find us and we were even luckier to have had her it doesnt get any better than her. Its hard to no where to start she changed so much but always remained the same and for such a soft natured cat was an emence hunter in her younger days catching birds such as pigeons bigger than her! She used to wee down the outside drain like was a toilet in later years lol. Trying to remember all the good memories is hard because so many exist most of all though she's been arround since I was 13 yrs old when I was younger my mum used to spend time with her alot as really was her main companion dont get me wrong she loved everyone when I was younger I went out alot more and went to uni etc so was out more so than I do recently. But in truth she was always there when you needed her in 2001 I was banned from driving for 18 months she was always on my bed cos I was home alot relaxing then in 2005 when I was involved in a car accident she was there for my recovery knowing somthingmwas wrong, my mum and I shared her as she decided to sleep on diff beds or favourate spots round the house always adapting and changing her mind with the weather in boxes etc actually spent alot of time thru the years panicing only to find her in the wardrobe on the stairs under the bed or in summer a bush in the garden she loved the warm sun and would turn slightly red/aurburn in sun sometimes stay out all day and nite when really warm. Being nocturnal animals she used to wake me up in the middle of night fighting the cheese plant in corner or chacing cables charger wire or anything that intrested her bless. But in old age really we really took every year as a blessing and started to realise how attached had become over the years when oliver died penny became top cat and shortly after my girlfriend started living here and would say when she opened the door in the morning the cat would be asleep on the landing (she liked it there even when the door was open) but my gf made me leave the door open so cat could get in if wanted( little did she know the mid night playing would wake her rofl) she also took her to bed with her earlier than me etc since I would stay up and play xbox and watch tv then It was three in a bed cat inbetween us or asleep on my chest. When my gf didnt stay in the week somtimes there was more space for penny boo in the bed and our bond just grew and grew it was like where have you been all my life baby girl and as me and my gf split up booboo the cat was made up to have her permanent spot next to me for cudles and tickles of her belly as she positioned herself on my arm so we both drifted of together every nite stress free since mine and my gf's break up we were inseprable I used to carry her up and down the stairs like a human stair lift like a baby ( 3 story house) we had so many routines in the end as she became less independant she used to always sleep arround the house so to speak mainly due to finding the warmest place as mentioned above you could tell the wind/weather had changed as soon as she changed her spot but she always made an appearance with a woo into my top floor room to anounce her arrival always wanting to be on my lap or on the bed next to me when relaxing playing the xbox (chalenging the controller for affection) or strokes whenmwatching tv. She used to stand by the chair waiting to be picked up on my lap or stare up at the bed as if to say put me up please tbh she was my rock through everyhing i feel I am so privaliged to have changed and developed with her making a bond through the different stages of both our lives and in the end after my driving ban accident and break ups life is complicated but she was perfect in every way its only been 3'days since she passed from ilness in old age in her favourite spot on my bed with me I miss her so much in the morning she woke me upmor was curled up warm and happy i miss her in the day just to know she was safe and nite so so much. Sadly she deteriorated quickly at the end as had recently had tumor diagnosed so I knew it was on the cards because after she was sick over the last 2 years due to inflamed stomach possibly thickened bladder I tried to get her best treatment as knew her so well knew that somthing was wrong it wasmlike she was tellng me at times somthing was up basically most vets say any thing over 14 is a bonus. In the end I know I did every thing I could for her and hopfully made her as comfortable andhappy as she made me (I do feel guilty I didnt do enough aswelI beating myself up in tears) but I changed my life to suit her wouldnt leave her always proped the door open with a sock( so she could always get in and out and so wind didnt bang door she was scared of the wind) left her best foods shared mine fish etc changed her diet to suit. A while before she was getting bad only after we had cuddled up when she thought I was asleep in the quiet early hours would she go down eat food an out flap into garden I would lie in bed worrying did i shut gate etc then would hear cat flap go then racing feet back up the stairs ('my x gf would say here she comes' lol) with that a pitter patter round the bed as play time started or a woo as she jumped up on the bed pleased to see me again taking her favourite spot. Sometimes in the morning she would be spread out next to my pillow so cute or on the matress next to me where I had rolled duvet arroud me waiting formme to wake up say hello and leave her all the warm bed. Thing is in the end I always knew where she was or was with her making the most of our time they say if you dont love you will never loose but I am proud I never denied her love and have learned a valueable lesson in life as to what is really important hope this tribute helps someone with there time of need/grief comments Welcome. Always loved never forgotten my baby girl penny woo xXx

My Dear Penny I always said that you were my precious little girl and you really were. We did everything together and I cherish every memory. I am so sorry that we didn't get to dance before you left me. I love you and I will look forward to seeing you until it is my time to join you. I love you so my "My Little Girl".

I'm writing on behalf of my dad. My brother, my sister and myself are all animal lovers and have lived our adult lives surrounded by critters of all sorts. I think it was from Dad that we got our love of animals in the first place, and he passed that on to us. Now we are passing that on to our children!

Here is what my dad had to say about his dear friend Pepper.

"Yesterday I said goodbye to Pepper, my faithful friend and companion for the past 16 1/2 years.  
He had diabetes for the past 4 years and was totally blind, deaf and senile for the past 2. He had been declining steadily for the past year. Over the weekend he took a turn for the worst and was so weak he could hardly stand on his own. That and a few other signs told me that his vital organs were going fast.Although he is gone he will live in my mind and heart as long as I live."

She was our little baby... Our "Noodle." Every toy was a "ball," every living creature was a friend and no evil exited in this world. She was wholly innocent and ever so smart. She lived for the car ride and never forgot a face. In short, she was incredible. And, she leaves behind a slew of family members and friends (human and animals alike) who will never, ever forget her.

Pepper, you were taken from use all too soon. One day, the pack will be together once more. May we meet, remember and love again.

Gracias por los 15 años de amor, lealtad y bellos momentos que nos hiciste vivir. Núnca te olvidaremos, siempre te recordaremos y te llevaremos en nuestros corazones. Gracias también por ser un perrito tan noble y tan buen gurdian. Por siempre te querremos. Nos volveremos a enontrar!!! Que Dios te bendiga en tu viaje Peque

RIP sweet Percy. 1997-2011  
Percy, you were 8 months old when you came to us with a bad leg and a limp and you didn’t have a home. Your owner wanted to leave you by a canal but your Auntie Fran rescued you from Dr. Eddie’s office, surgery repaired your leg, and then you met your best friend and couch buddy, Hercules. You’ve given us over 13 years of adventure and memories. We’ll... never forget how you made the news for howling at a dog casting in Miami. We dressed you up every Halloween and you graced many of our Holiday cards. You could smile and you liked to steal corn on the cob from our plates. You even wore those funny Doggles for us during car rides . People always said you had a great life, but we really were the lucky ones to have known you. We hope you are over that Rainbow Bridge, chasing kitties and running once again with your buddies, Pupik and Cricket. We will never forget you. RIP our sweet Iggy.

Percy, you were a very special little boy. You were known and loved by so many people and we're proud that you were ours. Although you'd only known our son, Matthew for the last year of your life, he couldn't have asked for a better big brother xx. I now believe you're healed and running free with Sox and the Sophies. We will always love you and you'll always be in our hearts as a very precious, special member of our family. Forever loved and missed by Mammy, Daddy & Matthew Longstaff xxx

My Bubba Bear 
There is no possible way I can express the appreciation I feel, and love I have, for you. From 7 weeks old, you filled my life with such joy, companionship, and love. You desired so little, but gave so much 
I thank the Lord for you. He chose you for me, and gave me the undeniable strength it took to set you free, when the time was right. How blessed was I to have you until 2011. In October of 2007, when you were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, the doctors that tended you, including the surgeon, told me you may have a few months. To say I cried over you til you were soaked is an understatement. Yet, the Lord allowed you to remain with me, and to even return to our daily walks. Through that difficult time, He helped me get through each day, and appreciate that I may not have you for long, but he was kind and loving and gave me, almost til your 17th birthday, to have you to love. How blessed am I. Thank you, Lord 
There's no doubt you loved me as well. You, even up to your last day, would lift your head from the chair or couch where you rested, just to make sure I was still there. I will always love you, my Pete, and I look forward to the day when you and I will be reunited again. I believe, with all of my heart, that we will see each other again in heaven. Right now, you are running free, free of pain and the restriction of movement that your age brought you. I can tell you this, if love could have kept you alive and with me, you would still be laying on the couch, and I would have my head on you, smelling your precious fur and rubbing your little feet. I'd kiss you on your head and smile just looking at you. We will be together again, my Pete. We will be. I promise you. Just wait for me.  
You were the best, most faithful friend I have ever, or will ever have. There will never be another like you. Never. I praise and thank God for you. I love you.

My beloved Pierre (old man)

Thank you for all the wonderful memories and all the love you gave me and others. My heart is broken butI find comfort in knowing I gave you a long wonderful life. Scott,Ada and all of our friends and family miss you and cry whenever they walk into our home. My life is so empty,I will not get another pet - the pain is to great and besides no one can take your place. You were my child and mommy misses you. Your favorite pink bear is my comfort when I need to hold you. Until I hold you again Kisses and many many huggs!!

For Piglet (Moo-Moo, Mooshka, Piggy, Pigaletay, FeFe, Mama's):

My sweet, sweet girl... How I Love you. I miss you more than words can express. You were my best friend, my heart, my soul and the best part of my life. I Love you like no other. You were always there for me and your main concern in life was making me happy. You were the best dog anyone could ever ask for or hope to know. I thank God for you each and every day. Your sweet nature, loving eyes and the best kisses anyone could receive. You were so incredibly smart and truly amazed me at times. Everyone who's lives you touched fell in Love with you immediately. Since the day you stepped into my life, all I ever cared about was making sure you were happy and safe. I Loved coming home to you and spending time with you -- being with you was my "happy place." Life is a sad, sad place without you; I sometimes don't know how I'll get through it. I try and take peace in knowing you went to God in my arms, I gave you the best I possibly could and NO ONE EVER could have Loved you more than I! And YOU, filled my life with your Love, hugs and kisses, warmth and friendship and undying acceptance and loyalty, I can never replace, nor wish to. Of all the Love I have in my life, yours is most precious.

Know that I am always with you and you are always with me.

Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge my angel, for when it's my turn, YOU will be the one I run to...

I LOVE YOU MOO!!!

Your Mama

Pip was my best friend and my constant companion. Just to look at him eased my mood. He always bumped his forehhead against mine as a sign of acceptance and purred very loudly. He was youthful and vital to the very end, and died suddenly and peacefully in the backyard at the age of 12 1/2 years. He left behind several nieces and nephews who miss him very much. He is also survived by two sisters who live elsewhere. He now rests in the backyard that he loved so dearly and that was his kingdom. He taught me more about love and being alive than perhaps any other person or animal. Although I miss him very much, we will always be together. I have never known a more loving and majestic creature than Pip. Farewell,Pip. I will always love you. Daddy.

Don't be dismayed at good-byes.
A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes,
is certain for those who are friends.

We will miss you Ms. Piper. Thank you for all the unconditional love you gave to your family over your lifetime. You will be in their hearts forever.

Dear Kim, our deepest sympathy for you and your family.
All our love,
Frank, Scott, Lucky, Page One, and Ms. Penny Sanderford-Sarley

Today I brought my little Japanese bobtail cat Pixi to Elizabeth, the Nimbin Vet, where it was her curtain call. Pixi was 15 years old, born Sept 25th 1996, RIP today Dec 6th 2011. Her journey began when her mum and her siblings were dumped in the stormwater drains near Lismore Shopping Square. The kittens were so young that they were not weened, and still shakey on their feet. Animal Rights and R...escue Group in Lismore found temporary care for the family. I met them at a Desex Your Pet rally in Lismore, and made the arrangements to adopt a kitten. Unsure if this was the right thing to do, I sent out a telepathic message "if you are coming to live with me, little kitten, what is your name?". I went to meet the cats the next day, and as the keiitens played chasing, I called out "Pixi". She stopped in her tracks and looked me in the face, as if to say "Ah, it's YOU!". Of course she came home that day. She shared her life with an old manx Bindi, and I adopted her brother Tyrone (a himilayan from Blue Springs community) the next day. She outlived them both, and purred rite up to the end. A year ago she had an emergency with a tick, that took its toll on her. The big problem at the end: She had a huge tumour in her right side, and was in pain for a few weeks, that could not be eased. She told me it was time. I will always love you Pixi Butterfly Blissbomb Bourne x

My sweet Lord,
here I am again to thank you for sending to us our beloved Plato.
Plato has been with us since June 1999 when we found him abandoned sick and dirty and so frightened, you must have decided in your goodness that he had suffered enough, so you sent him to us!
He was a brother to our beloved Einstein that left us for the Rainbow Bridge four years ago, now you two are together with our beloved and adored son Silvio that left us two years ago, make sure you look after him until we will all be together again.
Plato, you lived an estimated seventeen years, and while with us you gave us so many joyous days, and you comforted us in our days of sorrows, how can we thank you?
We have you now in a little jar with your ashes next to our little Einstein, the photos next to the jars reminds us of the wonderful times we shared together, we love you little one, and miss you so much!
Silvio had a special name for you " Platino " I still see you and him in the wheel chair and you sitting on his lap and I am sure you were smiling!
My sweet Lord, you now have three close members of our family with you, please tell them we love them, we miss them. But I know in my heart they could not be in a better place then there with you my Sweet Lord.
Goodbye for now my wonderful Plato, our little fur angel,
from your loving Grandma Vera, and Mum Linda xxxooo

My boy Pluto put in a solid 16 years...Id say his life was grand. I love you little buddy.

Poker was a small cat and very shy. But, she offered us love and laughs for 15 years. She passed away today. Our hearts are broken. We will miss our Poker so very much!

She was a beautiful cat with an even more-beautiful soul. Donna & Walter Lowich

I am very sad to say, my 13 year old blind poodle PollyAnna crossed over the Rainbow Bridge this morning. PollyAnna was rescued out of New Jersey 7 years ago by a woman named Peg. I saw PollyAnna on Petfinder and she was beautifully dancing around with a sweater on. I didn't know she was blind and when I contacted Peg and she told me......my first words were, I didn't care. Peg met me a few days later in Mass and I fell in love with Polly immediately. She has been the most amazing dog I have ever seen. Never did her impairment stop her from playing with the other dogs or me. She loved to give kisses and her tail was always wagging when anyone approached her. I have moved a few times with her and she always adjusted beautifully....she mapped my homes out within 2 days!! I was always so proud to show her off to people....nothing stopped her from enjoying life. I will miss her terribly and love her so much....God Bless PollyAnna until I see you on the other side xoxoxo

My Precious Bear,

When I was sad you comforted me. Your wise little eyes always reassured me that all would be well. For 18 wonderful years you were my constant companion...always making me smile. Even when you were sick you were still my rock. You laid on my tummy, sat on my lap or just cuddled with me as we watched TV together. You loved me unconditionally. Bear, you were always there. You will always remain there in my heart.

Goodnight little man.....join your sister on Rainbow Bridge. Go play now. Catch that lasar dot...sniff that catnip...have a blast. You gave me the best years of your life and I had a wonderful time and am eternally grateful for everything you did for me. I'll miss you forever. Be happy... Mommy loves her sweet Bear.  
Michele

In memory of my precious angel.
14 yrs. were not enough.
You will be forever remembered and loved.
You took a piece of my heart with you.
Rest in peace my sweet baby.

He was my daughter's dog. She was in 4th grade when we got him, and since then, he has always been by her side.  
He was goofy, loyal, loving, lost sometimes. He was Jessica's best friend.  
Cancer invaded his body, and today was just "THE" day. He was put to sleep at 12:45, and will be missed forever.

Pretty Boy my cockatiel friend was a constant joy for me. I rescued him off my street one rainy day just in time before 3 crows were about to kill him. I took care of him for nearly 9 years. During that time I taught him a special whistle and a few phrases. I took him out of his cage daily where he could spend time on his playpen or on my shoulder. All he wanted was to be on my shoulder. I loved this bird so much because he depended on me and loved me. I'm still sad and miss him so much. I wish he was still here.

If there is a heaven, I'm sure you're there now, frolicking in a giant field of fresh grass that stretches as far as the eye can see. Sprinkled about the field are some of your favorite things: boxes to sit in, the finest fish to eat, wrapping paper to crinkle, catnip to roll around in, stairs to run up, sunny cushy spots to stretch out in, and bananas to devour.

Of course, you probably had a bit of trouble at the gates: "Socks eaten, fights started, frosting licked off a cake...what do you have to say for yourself, Pretzels Whiskers J.??". But you simply explained yourself with a few meows -- you always were a good conversationalist.

Besides, it is hard for anyone to ignore your charm: even as an older gentleman, you were still winning young ladies' (and men's) hearts with your dashing good looks and friendly, quirky personality. People fought to be the first to see you or give you a treat, and you in turn battled with (so chewy) spiders to keep your home safe.

Thanks, Pretzels, for the fun and happiness you brought us. You will be missed, but our memories of you will be cherished.

Prince, my cavalier with a beautiful heart which destroyed your lovely body and cruelly took you from me, precious one, with Rupert now, wait for me.

We loved him so deeply. Prince our rottweiler. He will be missed

Princess was my late Mothers companion & best friend until 2004. Princess was then welcomed into our family upon my Mothers passing. Princess was my shadow, my best friend, my support system, & a loved family member. She could run like the wind, & was smart as a whip. She was very obedient, loved to go for walks, & loved to go for rides in our vehicles. She understood many spoken words and phrases. She would turn towards the speaker with ears up, & tail wagging.

Just weeks before her passing we went on a 20 day Road Trip of the United States of America. Having taken over the back seat of the car, she enjoyed our journey on the back roads as much as I did. She even loved camping in a tent. We drove over 6000 miles together. Princess was truly a princess. She will be missed beyond belief. She is now without pain at the Rainbow Bridge playing with my Mother. Together they both wait for me as I get on with my life as they would want me to do. We will meet again. I love you Princess.

She is preceded in death by her fellow canine friend, & mine “Katie” (July 10, 2007).

Princess, my beautiful girl, you came into our family as a very pleasant surprise. You left it just as surprisingly and I am missing you so very much! Our time together was too short, you deserved a long and happy life with us. I miss your sweet face nuzzeling up to mine every morning at the kitchen table, or your paws on my leg demanding that I pay attention to you each night. I don't know why you left us when you did...the questions are endless but no answers will give me peace because either way you are still gone. I love you...I will always remember you and there is a place in my heart that will ache for you until we meet again someday on the Rainbow Bridge. Goodbye my sweet Princess

Bo Peep had a huge heart in a little tiny body. She was the sweetest baby I have ever known. She had two litters before I was able to catch her to have her spayed. I kept two from the last litter and they all grew up together. Peepie had a rough time this year but she never lost her sweetness. We unexpectedly lost one of her babies (Winky)a month ago. It really took a toll on Bo Peep. I think she grieved herself until she got sicker. I was able to be with her in her last minutes and then she went to kitty heaven. I always called her and her two babies my black crows. Now two of my crows have flown away. I miss you so much baby, but I know now that you are at peace - and with Winky Sue. I will take care of Jasper - we both miss Mom Peep. I love you baby girl.

           Waiting in Rainbow Bridge
My sweet Princess who I will love forever,
Is waiting in Rainbow Bridge so we can cross together.
Each day I ache to feel her close and stroke her fur;
As many days go by, they are all now just a blur.

I cannot seem to accept her passing and I try to be strong,
Yet I know that I will continue to greive for so very long.
The day of her passing I could not bear to see
Her eyes looking back at me so lovingly.

I held her close, right next to me, the time had come too soon,
So I imagined her sweet soul passing gently by the moon,
Up through the heavens where all sweet doggies go,
Now my sweet angel is gone from me, I catch my breath..I love her so.

Go run and play now, but sweet Princess wait for me,
For when I pass on I can't wait to see
Your golden fur, your loving face,
And then together we will each take our place....

On the other side of Rainbow Bridge
And continue on our journey up over the ridge
To a place where we will be together until eternity,
Wrapped in God's arms so tenderly.

Mommy loves and misses you so.

My Lizzie....today my heart is hurting so that I cannot take a breath. For eight-and-a-half years, from the first day I brought you home when you were just 8 weeks old, you slept side by side with me. You sat side by side with me while we watched television together. You ate what I ate, you went where I went....you helped me survive each day with my depression. You are my joy, the light in my days, the smile on my face, simply...my reason. I am sorry that I left you alone yesterday.....you were getting better....but I now understand how sick you really were. You loved me enough to give me one more day of a better Lizzie. You forced yourself to eat a little...even tried to play with a toy....I now see that you did that for me. You had a sense of how I was thinking, how I was feeling....more than any human ever has. You were alone when God took you....I will never forgive myself for not being there with you like you have been with me for all these years. I don't know how I am going to go on.....today...I am not sure that I want to.

Mommy

For 13 years I was never alone. I had the company and love of a beautiful Chinese pug named Princess Fiona...

She was the most beautiful girl....a double curl in her tail..expressive brown eyes and sometimes the face of a clown.

I did not write this..but have always loved what it said.

I love my Dog

Every living thing is touched with love, as the creatures of the earth are a gift and a blessing.  
You are there at my Best and my Worst, and no matter what you wag your tail.  
Thank you for being the creature that you are and for bringing to my life unconditional love.

She was my love... I will miss her forever.

We are here to Celebrate the live and light of our beloved Princess Leia. She taught us to laugh, love, and live each day fully. Princess inspired was and is a joyful presence in our lives. Though your body is no longer usable, your spirit will reign with us forever. It is our hope that she is joyous over the Rainbow Bridge, playing and teaching as she always did. We also hope she finds her 'fun bunny' friend Angel Bunny, as she had crossed the bridge last year.

We love you, miss you and celebrate your light!Provide a 'nudge' now and then to let us know you're here with us. We will miss your precious beautiful face, and sparkling eyes, your love for 'teddy grahams' and the ritual chase around the rooms before a bath.

Farewell, our beloved teacher and best friend. Transend into the next cycle of life and be loved again!

My princess Mimi was put to sleep today July 18, 2011. She has been sick for sometime but in my mind I thought I would see a little movement where she would get up on her own. On Christmas eve of 2000 I brought home the most beautiful miniature snauzer and right away I knew she was my princess. From the very start she started getting bumps on her back and they said it was like people with a bad case of acne and I knew she was even more special than I ever would have guessed. I love you my little girl and no more pain even though my heart is broken I know that you are running and playing with your brothers Bandit, CocoBean and Crackers. May all of you have fun and I will be together with you again someday.

Princeton Graham was the beloved Shetland Sheepdog of the Graham and Richardson families. He was a sable, tri-colored beauty of an animal with an amazing personality to match.

He came to live with the Graham family in the summer of 2001 in Getzville, New York. He was also a well-traveled pup, and was well-behaved even during long trips to Florida when Mommy and Daddy became snowbirds in North Ft. Myers. In 2009, after the Grahams' daughter Sara got married, he went to live with her and her new husband Mike Richardson. He adapted to the change well, and made lots of new friends while living with them in Pennsylvania, including Mike's family.

He was wonderful with children, especially with Lina, who was born in 2006 to the Grahams' daughter Kelli. He always protected her in his own special way, and gave her lots of love and attention. Lina called him her "favorite dog."

Princeton was also known as "Prince" and "Princey-Boy." He enjoyed napping, playing with tugs, eating tissues, playing with his squeaky gator toy, eating dog ice cream and other treats. When asked if he wanted a treat or ice cream, he always gave a perky tilt with his head and his ears.

Princeton was diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma in February 2011, and underwent surgery to remove the main tumor in his bladder. His bladder was resectioned, and he bounced back quickly. He went on to give us six more quality months before beginning to decline. He is now at peace and no longer suffering at Rainbow Bridge.

We loved him very much, and we always will miss him and hold him close to our hearts. He was a "once-in-a-lifetime" dog.

For our beloved Prisca.

Prissy came into our lives when we most needed her. My sister found her muddy and dirty and matted and kept her as long as she could until she had to take care of her father-in-law and wanted us to take her.  
We had never had an inside animal but had immediately fallen in love with this beautiful blonde baby girl. We had a month to think it over and one day we turned our car around from where we were going and we rescued this baby so that she would never have to have another home. She was quiet, very shy and independent. My husband changed that.  
He just loved and wooled her constantly. I bathed her and combed her and braided her hair and she had ribbons and necklaces and coats and raincoats and she was feisty! We walked the streets in our historic town daily and she loved it. IT was her town! No mistaking that, she knew every place she wanted to visit. She barely let me put her little jeweled harness on before she was jumping out of the car. So off we go with her water and her baggie and a snack. She had a picnic in the park always. So well behaved and so loving. I would carry her to rest her and bring her home to a meal of cooked chicken (the only food she ate). Whenever she was sick I slept on the sofa with her in a bed beside me. Many nights she woke up unable to breathe and I gave her CPR under her little chest...she knew I would and she was waiting for me. The slightest sound awakened me and I was beside her. She would lie beside me when I was sick with migraines and never leave my side. When I lost her, I lost part of me. She was my baby girl! She never knew she wasn't a little girl. When I came home from work, she ran out the door, husband watching her, as she ran to my car. I parked it, grabbed her into my arms and held her in my lap as I drove down the driveway to park. Then we played in the yard for awhile. After supper we took another walk, wherever she wanted to go. She was an angel sent from Heaven that made two people so much happier, gave us a reason to live when our son left home.  
After three months, we stopped crying all day long every day, but we miss you baby! We have you near but it will never be the same! The best part of our lives were taken from us when we lost you! You were perfect!!!!! Our little Miss Priss!

Prissy you are now with your sister Elle and we know she will take care of you. Prissy you brought so much joy and love into our lives. We will not be the same without you. We miss you terribly and our hearts are broken. We hope you are now able to eat all the good food that you loved so much and that you and Elle are running through a field barking and chasing each other like you all loved to do. Thank You Baby-Girl for letting us share your life. You will always be the Most Prettiest Girl in the Whole Wide-World. We will never forget you and we will always Love You.

Love  
Mom and Dad

Little one lost,
Rainbow Bridge crossed.
Nine years not enough
To share tiny love.

A many-time mom
More feisty than calm,
You brought us such joy
With each girl and boy.

Archaeo will miss you,
Pteryx, we'll kiss you
Still in our thoughts
Now Rainbow Bridge crossed.

My sweet dog Pooch passed away last night after suffering a debilitating stroke. He gave me unconditional love and companionship for 15 beautiful years. He was a friend to everyone he met and he was a patient and mature teacher to all the fosters that have passed through his home. I miss you ,my little boy. When you left, you took a huge piece of my heart with you. I will never forget your sweet face and demeanor. I love you now and forever.

Pudge, I loved you the first time saw your beautiful face. I was looking for a bulldog for Melissa, and saw your gorgeous baby face on line. Oh, those eyes!! that did it, I had to have you to love and care for.
You are the smartest, best looking, most feeling/knowing dog I have ever known of. That makes me misss you all the more.
I am so sorry you had to leave us, we miss you so much. I wish I could have stayed with you at the end, but I just could'nt watch you go. I did not want to worry or stress you. I hope your passing was eazy, I worry so about that. God, how I miss you.
You gave me so much love & happyness. I loved seeing you happy with your "toy" and the game we would play. You allways would try and get me to see if I could get it from you. Such a taunter you are! I know you are running and playing all over the place free of those horrible sezures that you had while here on earth. I am so glad they are gone from your beautiful body.
You are such a beautiful bulldog....whenever we'd go any place, people would just stop dead in their tracks at the mere site of you.
You loved your skateboard so much and I am hoping you are doing lots of skateboarding in rainbow bridge. You could,nt practice all that much before with your sezures and all. I hope you are skating and catching up for lost time.
Baby and Hally Fluff misses you too, baby now is sleeping in the bedroom and is trying to stay close to me. Baby misses washing your ears and laying her head on you, but I think she somehow knows you loved her, but had to go.
I know you loved sleeping in the bedroom with us, we miss you so much.
When you return to us in a few days, you will be forever in the bedroom so you can be close to us and rest in peace.
Pudge, we love and miss you so much. Please enjoy your time in rainbow bridge and know that we will all be together again. Don't worry for us, we are OK, we are happy you are not suffering anymore, my big dog.
Love Mom, Rich, melissa, Charles, Baby Hally Fluff, Emmitt

You my friend will always be missed. As I taught you many things in your short stay, you have taught me also. You came into my life as a special gift. You touched my heart with love and friendship.  
It was hard to say goodbye and I shall grieve with each thought of you. I seen that you were unhappy do to your injury. Even though you tried to hide it with your kisses and attention.  
I will be searching for you when my time comes and you my friend I will see and as the feeling is now I will love you and hug you oh so much. So until that time comes God Bless You Pugsley.
