Callie, 1998 - 2012
Callie I love you and miss you. We had lots of
happy, adventureous years together that I will always cherish in
my heart. You were a one person dog and I am happy that it was
me God selected to take care of you. Rest in peace my beloved
best friend.
CALLIE, 01/22/06 - 04/10/2012
Callie I miss you so much. I am so sorry I was
not there for you when you got sick, but I rushed home and I
hope you felt me there when the Vet let you fly off to Rainbow
Bridge.
You brought joy to every person that met you. You
were the bravest yet timid little yorkie. Your furr baby
brothers Cody and Pops and your sisters Bella and Bailey miss
you and look for you..they dont understand where you have gone.
You were our tiny little bundle of
love. My heart aches in sadness and
secret tears still flow, what it
meant to lose you no one will know.
Till I see you soon baby..play well sweetie. I will light a
candle for you and I hope you see it way over in Rainbow Bridge.
RIP little girl.
Mom and Dad
Calvin, 06/26/1999 - 04/30/2012
Calvin I still remember the day that you found
me. I picked you up out of that box of kittens and you never let
me go. I fell in love with instantly. Its been one week since
you passed and I still cannot believe you're gone. R.I.P my
beautiful little man. I miss and love you so much, Mom.
Candie Gauthier, 1/15/2003 - 05/21/2012
Candie,
You were my little angel. I can remember when you
came into my life as a tiny puppy that was all eyes. I never had
to train you, you settled into my life like you had always been
there. You were my daughter, friend, companion and love. I have
never met a dog with a sweeter disposition. I don't think you
would even hurt a fly. I can still see you sunning yourself out
on the balcony and barking at people passing by. I guess it is
comforting to know that you didn't suffer long but it is still
hard since i had no idea that you would pass away within a day
of me returning from vacation. i was not ready to say goodbye to
you. it broke my heart when we were driving to the vets the way
you looked at me, almost like giving me permission. I think you
were telling me it was time but i didn't want to see it. Don't
worry Candie, I'll take care of your big sister who is 14 now. I
hope you are jumping, playing and running with Dixie, Penney,
and Heidi over the rainbow bridge.
Candy Apetz, April 8 2012
Candy I can vividly remember the day we picked
you up from the shelter. You were so full of life. You were also
full of something else, something that you let loose all over
the back seat of Wendy's car before we even got out of the
parking lot. You were such a doll, beauty and brains the whole
package. I still can't believe you're gone but It was god's will
so all that loved you will have to let you go for now. But we
will meet again! Go and find Hunter I have already prayed to him
and let him know you are coming. I told him to take good care of
you and Hunter usually does what he is told. Goodbye
sweetheart..... With eternal love from you're family. Wendy,
Chris, Toby, Jack, Gypsy, Woody, and Kaia.
Candy G., 1996 - 8/30/2012
In loving memory of our sweetheart cat Candy. She was the
sweetest, kindest cat we have ever known and we will never forget
her. She did nothing but give us her love and affection in
the short time that we had her. We wish that everyone
could have the privilege of having a pet companion like her.
She truly was a gift from God and we look forward to crossing the
Rainbow Bridge with her to heaven when we are all together
again. May she rest in peace.
Love always and forever,
Fred, Irene, and Comet
Good night Candy girl, you suffer no more. You are a good
girl.
Carlie Ann, 2006 - 3/3/2012
Oh my sweet baby girl Carlie...It's been a week
today, and I miss you soooo much. I want to thank you for the
endless joy you brought to our home and me and my daughter's
life. You were always sweet and kind and loving, with your tail
constantly wagging, never asking for much in return. I remember
when the breeder dropped you off to our home, you were so skinny
and frail, the runt of the litter and the pup no one wanted.
Well I wanted you, and I still do. You were so sick when I got
you, but I was there by your side and helped you get better.
After that you were healthy as can be for 5 years. Your favorite
thing to do was eating, you could never seem to get enough, such
a stinker the way you would spin around and jump and bark when
food was about to come. We used to complain about you snoring so
loud that we couldn't hear the tv! Makes me laugh now and I'd
give anything to hear you snore again. This January you got sick
with liver infection, I thought I was going to loose you and
after a month of treatment, and more bonding - you got better!
But on Saturday 3/3, the wind was ferocious. I realized you and
your best dog buddy Brody had been outside for too long...(we
have a dog door). When I went to find you, I saw the fence had
blown down. Brody was in the neighbors yard, but you weren't. I
couldn't find you and I suddenly realized you might be under the
fence. When I looked and found you there, I panicked. I couldn't
lift the fence by myself, so I had to run and get neighbors
help. When I pulled you out I thought for sure you would just be
hurt or scared. Never ever did I imagine you would be gone. Oh
the pain in that moment is still so fresh. So traumatic and
unbelievable. I'm soooo sorry you were hurt, I'm so sorry I
wasn't there in time. I love you so much and miss you daily.
Brody is lost without you, he is sad and quiet, but I know he
will be ok. My daughter misses you greeting her when she comes
home. My sweet Carlie Ann. You will be forever remembered and I
know you are with me now, even though I can't see you. Well
pumpky pie...You can roll in the grasses of heaven now, and eat
whatever you want! I will see you there someday. All my love,
Mom.
Casey (Our Puddy Puss),
11/30/2001 - 6/29/2012
Casey-
I miss you so much each and every day. To come home at night and
not have you here-talking to me like you always did-(and we know
that talking was for a bone because you were good all day)is a big
hole in my heart.
You were a special Golden Retriever-never a problem-and always a
good girl. I want you to know we did everything possible to
help you-but in the end the cancer was too much for you.
Rusty and Jetta miss you as does Daddy Sam and Scott.
Until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge-just remember you will never
be forgotten-We love you!
Daddy Dave
Casey,
1998 - June 9, 2012
My Dear Sweet Casey!
From day one that I found you in front of my apartment building
on April 17, 1998 you instantly became a very special being in
my life. You couldn't have been more than 3-4 mos old and the
very first thing you did when I brought you upstairs was climb
up my leg then all the way up to my face and start rubbing your
little head against my cheek. Having you in my life was sheer
bliss. You made my apartment a home and gave me a reason to look
forward to coming home. I only said goodbye 2 days ago and I
still feel like I should look over to my bed and see you cuddled
up on "your" pillow which was next to mine. These past two
mornings waking up without you next to me has been sooo
difficult. I only take consolation in the fact that I know
you're in a better place and please know that I did everything
in my power to keep you with me until it became too selfish of
me to do so because it was clear that you were no longer happy.
I hope that you understand what I had to do. You left this earth
very peacefully and I did it for you my sweet baby. I love you
today and always and I will miss you until the day I can be
reunited with you again my sweet angel. I love you
Casey...RIP!!!
Casey Lipsitt, 03/15/03 -
07/19/12
Casey, my nine year old beagle passed away in the early morning
hours of July 19, 2012 and following emergency surgery. He showed
no signs of illness until Tuesday when he was atypically sleepy. I
pulled into my garage at 6:00 PM and as always, Casey, Molly and
Woody were waiting at the door. They then went back to his or her
chair or couch while I caught up with emails. I was getting ready
for a... flight that next morning for a 5-day writing retreat in
Colorado.
When my husband Eric arrived home he quietly took me into our
bedroom and said that he was worried about Casey. He had just
thrown up water and his abdomen looked bloated. We called the
24-hour veterinary hospital one-mile away and were told to bring
him in. Little did I know that I would never again pull into the
garage with Casey, Molly and Woody waiting at the door. When we
arrived at the veterinary hospital the veterinarian took Casey
into another room to be examined. He came back and wanted to get
x-rays. He was fairly certain that Casey had a growth on his
spleen. Thirty minutes went by and the doctor came in with the
x-ray results that confirmed a mass and internal bleeding. Casey
needed emergency surgery and would not have lasted the night. He
also told us that the growth was most likely to be a malignant
sarcoma. Casey had a 33% chance of having a benign tumor. I could
not contain my emotions and broke down sobbing. Casey was only 9
years old. We had many more years with him, or so we thought.
We rescued Casey (pudding Pop was the name on his file but he left
the MI Humane Society as Casey) from the MI Humane Society. And
all because the Birmingham Public Schools would not assign a
paraprofessional to accompany Andrew on the 8th grade end-of-year
trip to the Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio. The district
wouldn't allow me or my husband to go on the trip, nor would they
allow Andrew. His teacher had concerns about keeping an eye on him
and keeping him safe. So Plan B was a trip to the MI Humane
Society, but only to look.
Yeah, right! Look and not adopt? Who were we kidding:).
So off Andrew and I went to the Humane Society, and we couldn't
help ourselves. We saw this adorable 10-week old beagle that had
been found wandering in Detroit. He was ours. It was that simple.
I felt as if something magical has sprinkled magic doggy dust on
me. That was that. We adopted Casey and he was ours.
Casey brought nothing but love, laughter, joy and comfort. He
loved to sleep not only on my bed but burrowed beneath the sheets.
He made every day that he was with us a better day. Nine years was
not long enough. I feel robbed of the years I had expected to
spend with Casey. I am overwhelmed with pain. We are a family in
mourning. Going imto my house without my "Casela" to jump up and
greet me and Andrew is unthinkable. Sunday morning drives to
Starbucks without Casey is beyond bearing. Sunday lunch at my
mother-in-law's will never again be the same. My mother-in-law
loved Casey. She was my co-conspirator when I called her about
adopting Casey. "You adopt Casey. Dad and I will take care of
Eric.". Thruth be told there was little pushback from Eric. Andrew
had been lobbying for a second dog fairly relentlessly for almost
two years. And Eric loves his dogs. He grew up with dogs and has
always appreciated them for the unconditional love and joy that
they bring.
I know that I am not alone in my pain. There are many of you out
there that have lived through the pain of losing a cherished
companion. And for those that think I am silly for mourning the
loss of Casey...well, you just don't understand the bond that
develops with a beloved pet or the human characteristics that they
take on.
When the surgeon walked into the waiting room I knew the news was
terrible. It was the worst possible outcome. Casey would not be
one of the lucky ones. He had cancer all over his spleen and
liver. I have heard veterinarians refer to this type of cancer as
a silent killer. The tumors thankfully do not cause pain. There
are no signs of illness until the dog grows weak and lethargic and
develops a distended abdomen. Those are the signs of the internal
bleeding but this cancer is aggressive to the point of explosive.
We arrived at the veterinary hospital first believing that
whatever Casey had was not serious and that we would bring him
home. Then with the news of the emergency surgery we were assured
by the young and greener-than-green veterinarian that while Casey
would require two days in the hospital to recuperate fron the
surgery, we would be able to bring him home and determine the
course of treatment for the sarcoma. When Casey was taken into the
surgical prep area and we said our goodbyes it was only goodbye
for now and most definitely not forever.
That all changed the moment the surgeon walked through the door to
give us the devastating news. Casey was not going to pull through,
not even for 3-6 months. The cancer was everywhere and he never
woke up from the anesthesia. My Casela was gone. We waited for the
surgeon to stitch him closed and then he was brought to us on a
gurney and covered with a blanket. "Open your eyes Casey, please
just open your eyes. I couldn't stand it. My Casey was silent. He
was gone from my life nd our family. I have decided that nothing
in life is more curious than "time.". I think about this often.
What is time? Where does it come from? How is it that yesterday's
memories that are not yesterday's, they may be nine or fifteen or
twenty, thirty, forty, even fifty years of memories that feel like
yesterday. I will admit that time frightens me. There is nothing
more powerful or formidable than time. At present I am angry with
time and its power. I want my Casey back and time won't let me
have him. I will love Casey forever, as I do Jessie my beautiful
golden retriever now in heaven wherever that my be. If there is
such a place then Jessie is with Casey and they are at peace but
know that they are missed and will never be forgotten.
I love you Casey Lipsitt. I can't hold back the tears. I can't
contain the pain of your loss. If you can hear me somewhere in a
mystical or magical way, Eric, Andrew and I will love you forever.
You own a permanent piece of our hearts and you are a paw print on
my heart.
I adopted you on June 17, 2002. You became one of the best days of
my life. Almost nine years and one month to the day I adopted you,
you have been taken away from me, and from Eric, Andrew and your
canine sibling sister Molly and brother Woody. We are heartbroken
and we miss you desperately.
Casper, 06/20/1997 - 04/08/2012
Not a day goes by we don't miss you, our "little
man".
We still see you, hear you, smell you everywhere.
Daddy and I laid on the floor the other night right near your
bed just to smell your sweet smell.
Shelby is having a hard time coming home from
college without you here to greet her and give her kisses. She
lays on the floor in every room of the house waiting for you to
come pounce on her.......
We thought the house was empty when Shelby went
off to college, boy, were we wrong.... now it echoes with
emptiness....
We know you are whole again and running wide open
as you did when you were a puppy. (just like the first time we
saw you when you came running out from behind the sofa - our
little Roscoe R. Coltrain!)Yep, that name had to be changed! lol
We know you are happy but missing us too. It gives us comfort to
know you are healthy again and we know you have already found a
little girlfriend.
We will all rejoice one day when we are all
together again, but for now sleep well, run hard and enjoy the
sunshine. We know you have found your sunny spot and are napping
the days away! We love you! xoxoxo
Cassidy, 08/14/98 -
12/29/12
To my dearest Cassidy,
No words can be said to describe how I feel now that you are no
longer with me on earth. When I picked you out, you had all this
crazy fur that was different lengths. You were so soft and so full
of energy. And, you hopped when you ran. So, we named you Cassidy
after Hop Along Cassidy.
You were my comfort and my joy through everything in life. We
seemed to always be moving somewhere. From North Dakota we went to
Iowa, then Colorado, then Wisconsin, then two places in New York.
After that it was back to the midwest to live in Minneapolis then
Fargo. And, we spent our last months here in Las Vegas.
I loved waking up with you next to me. You slept next to me almost
every single night we were together over the last 14 years. I even
remember waking up one morning and you were laying on my pillow
like a little human with your head perched there. We were staring
right at each other.
I wish I could take away your pain. I wish I could heal you. But I
cannot.
I love you such a ridiculous amount. And I will miss you and our
little talks forever.
I love you, my little man!
Cassie (Cassady), Unknown/1992 - 3/15/2012
My Dearest Cassie,
You were my little sweetheart for almost 21
years. From the moment i saw you i knew how much of a sweet good
girl you were. You blessed my life a thousand fold for being in
it. We had many years of hugs kisses and snuggles and i'm
forever grateful you stayed by my side for so long....ever
loving and faithful. My best little girl.
You taught me how to love unselfishly, how to forgive, how to
enjoy a bit of sun on my face and hindquarters, how to smile
over nothing in particular. You taught me to strive to be every
bit as good as my dog thinks i am, and i hope i never let you
down.
We miss you terribly, dear one, but we understand you had to go.
We will remember you fondly in our hearts until we can meet
again at the rainbow bridge. Rest in peace my darling. I love
you.
With All Our love,
Lonni, Alan, Michael, Addy and Bean
Cedric, Pebbles, Ketzel, Pedro and all my
animals
When I was young....I sometimes neglected my
pets....when I was older I always made a conscience effort to
take care of my animals and teach my children the same.... still
had some tragic losses....My dog Pebbles ran away never to be
seen again during the 4th of July because of Fireworks....my
last lost was my dog Cedric...I loved him dearly but I was so
afraid of being classified as an animal hoarder...and the humane
society told us we could only have 4 dogs....I rehomed him....I
never thought he would not be happy at his new home and run away
but he did....on 4-30-12....it breaks my heart daily.....I just
know God knows I never wanted to see my dog hurt....I pray daily
he found a new home....I continue to search Cedric but still
nothing....I love you Cedric and pray you are happy and
healthy......I have to forgive my self now Cedric since I know
Jesus will take care of you....I have to stop feeling guilty
since I only wanted you to have the best.....please know I love
you and wish I could hug you one more time....I did hug you and
kiss you the day you left and I hope you always feel loved. Now
I give you to Jesus and I know he will take care of you
always!!!
ChaCha, 4 1/2 years
old - October 27, 2012
Dearest ChaCha,
I am so sorry for that awful day. I blame myself completely
for not leashing you. I know you didn't like to be leashed
so I just wanted you to be free. On that Saturday morning at
10am I lost you because of my negligence. You got hit by a
bus while I was shopping at a dumb garage sale on Strong
Ave. I saw you under the table last, called your name but
you did not come. You were focused on something across the
street which I didn't realize until it was too late. You
died alone because I thought you went back to my car so I put my
stuff in the trunk and drove to the front. I got out of my
car with a pit in my stomach because I couldn't find you. I
called your name out, I thought someone dog napped you. Then
I turned around and there was your lifeless body across the
street, almost severed in half. I picked you up and held you
by the sidewalk begging you to still be alive. Your eyes
were open and tongue was out. I took my hoodie off and
wrapped you, I could not look at your maimed body. Why
didn't I pick you up when I saw you under the table? Why did
I go back to my car before finding you? Why wasn't I paying
closer attention to you? Why couldn't I save you when you
saved me in so many ways? You died alone and I'll never
forgive myself. You must've been so scared. I just
hope you did not suffer at all. I wish it was me, you did
not deserve that. I only had you for short 4 1/2 months and
you were my best friend, my daughter, my sister and love of my
life. I miss you everyday, my heart is broken. I will
never ever forget you and I will never forgive myself. I
hope you are in a better place having the time of your life.
Everyone loves you and misses you everyday. My family, my
friends, my co-workers, my neighbors, your previous family and
people you met even just once remember you and all agreed that you
were something special. I have no faith right now as I don't
see how God can pair us together for such a short time and you had
to die in such a tragic way. You were the best thing in my
life. I never loved anyone as much as I loved you and never
felt so loved. I suffer from anxiety and when we were
together I felt completely fine. Although I told you that I
loved you everyday, I feel that I took you for granted by being so
careless with your life. You depended on me and although I
spoiled you, I should have NEVER not leashed you. You had a
few close calls before and I did leash you for a while but I saw
how much you didn't like it so I wanted you to be happy but if I
knew this would be the outcome then you would've been leashed even
in your sleep. On 10/11 I bought a shih tzu on Craigslist
that does everything like you, her name is Pandee. Since the
moment she got in my car, I realized that I don't want her.
I know that sounds mean and we are taking good care of her until
she goes to a good home which maybe with a friend of mine. I
realized that there was only one dog for me.. That was you ChaCha
and will always be you. I don't ever want another dog
again. You were it for me ChaCha. We went everywhere
together, even to work.. We were hardly ever seperated but if we
were both of us would reunite with lots of kisses. I miss
that most, how your little body would quiver when I left and came
back. Then I would pick you up and you would lick my face
and I would drowned you in kisses. I miss you sleeping next
to me and waking up to your sweet face and cuddling with you
before I got up to get ready. You gave me so much motivation
and you gave me a life and a love I never knew existed. I
miss rubbing your belly, you loved that. I hate walking but
when I walked with you, I loved it. I miss our walks, I miss
seeing you chase squirrels, you didn't bark much but when you did
it was adorable.. miss your barks. Miss your scent, the way
those big beautiful eyes and the funny things you did. My
family and I were never dog people but you changed that. I'm
so sorry ChaCha, my mistake cost you your life and I hope you know
that I never wanted to put you in harms way. Your previous
family talk good care of you.. the fact that the were able to keep
you safe for 4 years and I couldn't for 4 months kills me, it
kills me.. In a way, I wish I never took you because then you
would probably still be alive. I miss our trips to the pet
stores and feeding you your favorite snacks.. pickles, bananas,
apples and basically whatever I ate. Everyday of my life, I
wish I could do that day over or at the least I wish the bus hit
me and not you. What upsets me even more is that you made it
across the street but because the bus has wider wheels it hit
you. The road was kind of busy, I should've never kept you
loose. The man at the garage sale picked you up earlier
cause he got nervous and I told him to put you down because you
don't go near busy roads, which you never did because it scared
you especially when trucks & buses would pass by. Why
didn't I ask him to hold you until I was done. Why didn't I
leave you home or in the car? So many signs that day and I
ignored all of them from the moment I left home and my mother told
me to leave you home. But you loved coming with me, you
loved car rides and sticking your head out of the window. I
couldn't say no or leave you behind.. but that day, I wish I
did. Thank you for everything you gave me and my family
ChaCha. Thank you for saving my life in so many ways
ChaCha! I am sooooooo sorry I couldn't do the same when you
needed me most. I'm sorry I was so negligent and careless
with your life when you depended on me to take care of you.
Just know, though you are gone.. You will never ever be
forgotten! I can only hope and wish that we see eachother
again when I die and hope that when that day comes that you will
forgive my for my stupidity. I will never let you go
again. We ALL miss you and love you so much ChaCha! I
loved you so much and will love you always and forever. My
heart is broken and will be until the day I die. I'm not
going to say bye ChaCha because I think about you every second of
every day and you are buried in the backyard. I hope that's
what you wanted.. Your pictures are all over and I always ask for
signs. I am upset that I haven't seen you in a dream yet but
hopefully I will. I will never say bye ChaCha, I will say
see you later and thinking of you always my love. I miss you
and love you ChaCha more than anything or anyone I've ever loved.

Love Always,
Your broken hearted best friend Tina
Chance, 4/29/1995 - 2/07/2012
My dear sweet Chance, you came into our lives and
brought laughter and new love for us, and filled a void for the
loss of our 3 yr old dog Lucky. You broke my leg and my
husband’s nose, ate all the fudge that Grandpa John made,
removed most of the tile off our old kitchen floor, busted
through a window to greet the mailman, didn’t mind when we
stretched your cheek skin which made you look like a
frill-necked lizard, you had so much loose skin when you were
laying down it would slide off your back on the floor if we pet
you. You were well known for being the best sneakiest food
thief, no unwatched food was safe. You could also sneak your 60
lbs up onto our bed without a jiggle, squeeze between us, spread
out, lay your head on our pillow, and leave us with only the
side edges to sleep on. You stayed with us for almost 17 years
giving companionship and joy, always by my side, mirroring my
movements, giving unconditional love. You were so gentle and
shared your love with our children, family and friends. You
touched my heart, my life and many others for so long, you will
never be forgotten. Everywhere I look I see you and feel you and
memories of your presence are everywhere. I’m missing you, but I
know in my heart you were tired and ready to leave and now you
are free of your worn out body. I will miss caressing your silky
soft ears and looking into those beautiful warm eyes filled with
so much love and devotion for me. Abbie misses you; she was by
your side for 14 years and now wanders around looking for you
and it seems in her eyes she wonders where you have gone. We
know she will be joining you in awhile as she is getting old and
tired too. Then you will be together again. You were a blessing
to all of us, our beloved friend. We will all miss you for
always and will forever be in our hearts.
Charlie, 12/7/12
Dear Charlie, Wonderful things were to be said about you. Your
kisses were the best, even though they were a little slobbery. You
had a great smile, too. I'd say you were good looking. Your heart
was good and I am proud of your progress. I'm not proud about your
last actions but overall you were a good guy in my heart.
Dear Charlie, I loved you in the time you spent with this family.
Sweet and smart and overall nice. I'm going to miss you a lot. If
I were 18 and living on my own I would of taken you in a
heartbeat. Others might of not thought you were good looking but I
did! Your eyes were the best and your coat had gotten better.
Don't worry, you left with at least one person loving you.
Dear Charlie, I'm not mad at you because I know you had an amazing
heart. You always whined because you wanted love from another
person. I understand that you didn't want to be left alone,
because you didn't want to lose anyone else. I honestly didn't
want to lose you. Your actions won't change my view on how caring
you really were. What happened to make you feel this way? You were
a good dog Charlie!
Charlie, May 28,2005 - December 26,2011
Charlie was a nine pound Pomeranian with a
wonderful personality who was loved by all who knew him. He
thought he was a person and everyone in the neighborhood was his
friend. Although he lived only six and a half years, his passing
broke the hearts of many people. He was a loyal and faithful
companion beyond imagination. Four month after he suffered a
stroke, it is impossible to believe he has left us for the
Rainbow Bridge so soon. We are thankful for his short time with
us, and miss him greatly. We can only say,thank you forever
Charlie and R.I.P. my friend. Love you you buddy and see you
someday. Dave and Karen Hill.
Charlie Boy Danielewicz, July 2, 2009 - March
2, 2012
I begin to write this the first time talking
about my babys illness but I think it needs to be about the joy
and love that a 14.2 lb lil man brought to a family. Charlie was
born 7/2/09 we adopted him on 12/4/10. I didnt want a dog but my
husband did. Guess who won...Thank god my husband. Charlie from
the time i seen the pictures the lady (brianna) sent me I wanted
him. But when we got there( next day 2+ hours drive after our
first bad snowfall)I knew I was in love!! Brianna had been
taking care of Charlie while his original owners were over seas
but when they got back they didnt want my lil man (THANK GOD
AGAIN)Brianna had 2 other dogs and couldnt keep Charlie. Charlie
came home that night with us and from the start this lil man had
such CHARACTER!! He would bounce around the snow like he was
king of the hill. He did this crazy booty pooping thing...his
hind legs would jump. Instead of barking to wake me up he'd
sneeze over and over while he'd booty pop! This lil man soon
became "dat mommas boy" when he got sick the 1st time he would
go up to my parents when i worked so he wouldnt be alone...guess
who else fell in love with him?!?! yep my mom and dad (they
renamed him chuckie lol)My lil guy was on deaths door a cpl
times but kept fighting till the end. Even when he was at the
end he waited for me to be there. I made the hardest desicion of
my life but know it was to end his pain. My lil man died looking
at his momma in the eyes with me telling him to run for the
rainbow bridge. My daughters think god took him because of his
personality, whatever the reason i believe that my lil man is
waiting for me in the meadows by the rainbow just like he did
everynight in the window when i'd come home!! Momma loves you
Charlie. I miss you so much. But I'll see you soon baby!!!!!!
Charlie
Jack, August 2009 - June 9, 2012
“Charlie Jack” thank you for all the wonderful memories that you
gave Alicia, Joey, Shannon and I. I am sorry your time was short
here on earth and you will forever live in all of our lives. It
has been really hard since you have been gone and your buddy
“Lucy Lu” misses you also. However, I know you are at peace and
you are not in pain anymore.
You will forever be our “Cha Cha” and we will be together
someday.
Hugs, kisses, and sweet memories are precious dog.
Rest in peace,
Kathleen, Alicia, Joey, Shannon and “Lucy Lu”
Chase (Bubba & Chasey Boy),
03/31/1996 - 10/10/12
My darling Chase,
You have been the most loyal boy to me for almost 16 years.
I remember when you were a puppy and I came home from work and you
were hiding behind dad's head on the couch and it was the
loveliest surprise to see such a cute and sweet little puppy...
from that moment on we forged a beautiful bond that will last
forever. You were there for me when I needed you the most,
you showed so much loyalty and love from then until the end my
darling, You were a naughty little puppy, i remember you used to
get the tissues out of the bins and chew them and they would be
all over the place and still you wanted to chew a tissue a day
before you passed, we used to go for long walks at the beach front
and I would take you off your lead and you would chase after the
birds and you would run so fast! then you would plonk yourself
into the water and swim to get whatever I threw for you to fetch,
you loved going for drives in the car and would go banana's when
you knew we were stopping because you knew it was somewhere
exciting! I would take you to a big park where other dogs would go
and we saw a dog running and climbing up a tree and within a few
weeks you could do it too! You were such a clever dog, You loved
catching balls and you would play happily on your own with a
soccer ball, you used to always jump up on top of the brick BBQ in
the back yard to get a good view of everyone and everything and
you used to sleep there in the sun, you used to literally jump the
tall fence and we would not see you for the longest time was 2
days and we would look for you everywhere! But you were having a
wonderful time wherever you went and it was to the cow paddocks at
the back of our estate as you would come home covered in cow poo!
But you always knew where home was and where we were. I
remember we had driven up the back road a few times with you
beside the car and we clocked you at your fastest doing 60km per
hour! So fast and you were such a determined dog. You didn't
like puppy training either but in time you didn't need it as you
were perfect just the way you were. I remember when you were
a puppy and I was playing tugowar with you and a rope and all of a
sudden your baby teeth fell out and I felt so bad! But the vet
said it was fine..Every Summer we would get you a hair cut because
it would be quite hot for you and you looked so handsome with your
long tail and spots which you couldn't see when your hair was
long, and your floppy ear was so endearing. I remember when
you would sit on my bed and snore, I remember when you tore up the
new bed covers I got but I couldn't get mad because of your sweet
little face, bath times when you would be lovely and clean and
then run out and rub yourself all over the grass! You loved your
roast chicken and raw chicken and any thing else that was not dog
food! You loved a bikkie dipped in a cup of tea too! We shared
such tender moments, you had such a lovely face, the kindest
beautiful brown eyes and the loveliest paws and black beauty spot,
I loved our pats and cuddles, you loved your belly and ears being
rubbed and you would put your paw up if you wanted me to keep
going, you loved being brushed too and we would get bags of hair
off you! I loved your little licks of love when patting you and
the way you would put my hand in your mouth but not to bite, its
as if it were a comfort thing for you and you used to love licking
toes and the insides of all of our shoes to the point where we
couldn't wear them anymore lol... Chase my darling dog you do not
know how much I will miss your presence and your lovely little
face and companionship, you have been a light in my life and I
have cherished every moment I have had with you. Thankyou
for holding on so long my darling, I tried to keep you with the
best medication and care but in the end I just couldn't let you
suffer anymore and I hope that you are in a better place now and
in no pain, I know you were unhappy and I just wanted to make it
go away for you so you could rest and be at peace and not have to
endure it anymore, you couldn't talk but geez I wished you could
to tell me I did the right thing, deep down I know I did but I
feel such sorrow for your loss I cant quite cope with that
decision I had to make right now, but I want you to know I am
going to miss you so very much my bubba, my chasey boy... You were
the greatest dog to me and I hope you rest easy and I hope that
you are sitting up there with nanny and she is giving you lots of
wonderful pats, its so hard to say goodbye to you Chase but please
know that I did this for you to not be in pain and to help you as
I didn't want to see you suffering. Please know that I love
you with all of my heart and that I will never forget you my
beautiful dog, you mean the world to me and you will forever be in
my heart. Love always, Jodie (ur mum) and the family - Jnr,
Emily, Tina & Noel xxxxxx
Cheekie, 9/26/2002 - 12/29/12

me whole. You taught me what love was... You made me who I

that was worth truly living for. I miss you so much. All I ever
want is for you to be happy because that made me happy. Every
person you met in your lifetime has fell in love with you. And

my life and always will be my one true, true love...we will be
together again and I will hold very tight and kiss your little
nose...and you won't even have to ask me to rub your belly because
I won't ever stop... Thank you god for letting me have such a
precious joy...my angel sent from heaven, your back where you came
from...xoxo...
Chester, rescued
August 26, 2008 - 06/02/2012
It is with sadness and heartbreak that we inform you that our
beloved Chester suddenly crossed the rainbow bridge today.
Chester came to us as a foster child on August 26, 2008. His
future mom got to know him when she transported him for
Northern California Bulldog Rescue, a wonderful organization
helping many needing bulldogs. Chester was a peanut size of a
boy who sweet-talked his future momma into fostering him. Of
course he had other plans…
His parents brought him home to a household with an already
established diva in it. Her name was Lily and she became
Chester’s big sister after future parents failed in fostering
effort.
Chester was adopted in December that same year and officially
became the mascot of the Slater family. Always goofy, willing
to give the best French kisses on this planet, best friend in
everything, he only wanted to be loved and with you at all
times. He even charmed his very demanding and fussy older
sister Lily, who was delighted to have an annoying companion
during her daily naps.
Chester loved his new home. He loved it so much that he never
cared for leaving it, always standing with his hind feet well
grounded on the inside of the doorway. He was a super
protector, surprising visitors with a deep bark that belonged
to a 100 pounds dog.
Chester took everything in stride, loved going on rides,
hanging out on the sofa, was a perfect work companion for his
momma and always willing to participate in dining activities.
His favorite was weekly trips to ocean town of Half Moon Bay
where his parents secured a “bay window” dining—ordered
“Chester friendly” food to go to be enjoyed in a car parked at
the ocean side.
Chester loved his naps and he loved going to sleep at night.
He used to bark in the evening to let everyone know that he
was ready and, of course, we would oblige. He preferred to
fall asleep with the lights out and the “white noise” machine
on and snuggled either to his mom or dad. His loud snoring was
the most beautiful sound in the world, perhaps only bulldog
people can understand….
Chester had his share of health issues, but despite of the
challenges he never skipped a bit, always full of faith, love
and understanding, as long as his mom and dad were there for
him.
Last week he became sick and was treated by wonderful staff at
Adobe Hospital in Los Altos. They did everything to bring our
boy back to health but unfortunately today at noon he took
turn for the worse and crashed. We were visiting him at that
time. We were there with him, kissed and loved him after all
efforts to help him failed.
We are heartbroken and stunned as this was all so sudden and
way too soon. Chester joined his sister Lily at the Rainbow
Bridge and I am sure they are now partying together.
He will be always missed but will forever be in our hearts.
Chewbacca, October 21, 1997 -
December 3, 2012
My sweet Chewbacca was all snug in his favorite blankie it was
black and white like he was - he got it one Christmas...oh how
he always loved Christmas. We took a walk outside so he
could see the clouds and the sunshine...I held him so tight as
though I thought he couldn't leave me if I didn't let go...he
just kept kissing my face over and over and over like he knew
this was to be our last goodbye. SAGE let us spend as much
time with him as we wanted and of course, I could have sat
there holding him for an eternity as he quietly drifted off to
heaven. My ♥ just hurts. . .I will miss you always, my
Chewbacca Baby. . .sleep now in the arms of the angels.
I know we will meet again one day. I love you so dearly.
Your Mommy
Chino and
Sugar, 07/04/1993 and 01/15/1992 to 05/2007 and 06/2008
I've been loved unconditionally. Until we meet
again good-bye my loves.
Chloe, 1996 - 11/06/12
To Our Beloved Chloe,
Daddy and I claim you were the "most mature person" in our house.
Your gentle, loving, and beautiful face will forever be in our
memory. Your gorgeous and expressive eyes will light up our eyes.
Your wise ways and caring heart for your brothers and sister will
never be forgotten (you were the A cat, but never fussed or
fought- you were just IT). Even when I adopted you 15 years ago-
as a youngster- you were mature and wise. How you always found a
way to land on my stomach while I was watching tv - and
there I was petting and loving you- not even remembering when you
climbed up there. Your love of the outdoor smells, sounds, and
birdlife. Your special places on the patio. Now you own a
special place in our hearts- never to be replaced. Be at
peace- wonderful girl. We love you!
Chloe, 12/27/2011
In loving memory of our dear sweet Chloe.
We feel so blessed that you shared your life with
us and miss you deeply. You were sent from the heavens and now
you return.
You touched the hearts of all who crossed your path...wherever
you went you were loved. Your loyatly, faithfulness and
unconditional love can never be replaced. Our hearts ache, but
we know you are still with us and will fill our hearts forever.
"From Bliss all creatures are born
By Bliss they are sustained, and
Into Bliss they again return". .
Upanishads
Until we meet again, Sweet Petite!
All love,
Mom and Dad
Chopper, 05/01/1996 - 10/05/2012
We are thankful for having Chopper for 16 happy years!. Chopper
was not only a dog but a member of my entire family who waited
tirelessly everyday for us to come home and make us happy. My baby
taught us how to be compassionate, patient and to love and not
judge anyone.
I miss your eyes and holding you, I miss your beautiful
scent! I love you with all my heart! You were a
companion to some people, a friend to others but for me you were
my baby. You will live in my heart forever.
Love,
Poulyana and Waseem Srouji, Vanya, Galieh and Ashoor Pazand
Chopper, August 10, 1998 - March 4, 2012
My Dearest Chopper AKA Hairy Buddha,
You are my one and only, my forever dog. The
special bond that we had will never be duplicated or replaced. I
love you so much and my life is not complete without you. You
touched my life and changed it to the core.
Every day I think of you and cry tears of sadness
that you are no longer here and I cry tears of joy that I had
you in my life. Thank you for being my best friend.
And. Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge…
Goodbye my love. You are in my heart and mind always. I miss you
so very much!
Cinnamon, 7/13/02 - 3/17/12
Our precious little Cinnamon, We adopted you on
9/27/07, and since that day you have brought such happiness and
joy into our lives- mere words cannot describe it. How you loved
to go camping with us in the summer, play with Taz and Chyna,
follow Mommy around, wait your turn for a treat from the "magic
closet", and simply lay next to any one of us. When your eyes
and ears began to fail you, we prayed that you would adjust
(which you did- with our help); but when the CCD set in, and
then the CHF, we knew that our time with you was limited. Dr.
Curt did all he could to help us. Letting you go was painful
beyond words for us. We all loved you so much and were with you.
Now, there is no more pain and confusion , no darkness, and you
can once again hear. We know that you are in a special place and
waiting for us all. That knowing , is what will get us through
not having you here with us now. We love you and miss you so
much. Until we meet again, rest peacefully our precious little
Cinnamon.
Love, Mommy, Daddy, Ian, Taz & Chyna
Cinnamon Precious Costa,
1/9/1999 - 6/4/2012
To our courageous, beautiful and loving Cookie,
This is our first Christmas without your earthbound self, Cinnie,
and as we anticipated and have talked to you about on Rainbow
Bridge each week for the last month or so, today will be unlike
any we celebrated and shared with you. The happiness and
laughter, and of course the love, shared so freely while we
enjoyed your unwrapping presents, or digging into your gift bag
and stocking, are missing. They are and will remain in our
memories and hearts forever, Pookie, but we still find it hard to
believe, or accept, that you won't be in your chair, or one of
your beds, or one of our laps, many times during the course of our
annual Christmas adventure. But you will be always in our
hearts and thoughts throughout this day, your first Rainbow Bridge
Christmas.
We will be putting together that special Christmas stocking we
told you about, filled with love, but the exact contents are a
surprise. I hope you like it! We'll talk about it
later . . . let me know what you think, OK? . . . but know that it
comes from the bottom of our collective hearts.
We remain forever proud, humbled, inspired by and in your debt for
the unconditional love you bestowed on us throughout your life,
and for battling so hard, at times without concern for yourself,
to remain a part of your family when the horrible disease that is
cancer became a part of your life. We never doubted the size
of your heart or how much you loved us, but you inspired us beyond
words as you battled your disease. Never has a divine spirit
shown more courage than you or a greater capacity for caring about
and protecting your family . . . we are forever in your debt, and
in awe of your spirit.
Merry Christmas, Cinnamon Precious Costa, the prettiest girl in
the whole wide world, whose forever home will always be found at
401 East Rodgers Street, Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. Look for
the candles we share with you each night, and the roses every
week, and the beautiful rose bushes that we will nurture and tend
in your honor, forever and a day. Play joyfully and
tenderly, with sincerity and compassion, with your wonderful
Bridge pals, and enjoy their unconditional support and love.
Just as yours is the face, and voice, and touch we long for and
think about every day, your loving eyes, velvet fur, sweet kisses
and beautiful loving soul are the things we look forward to when
we come to meet you at Rainbow Bridge. When we are all
together again we can't wait to hear a heavenly version of 'Hot
Dog Girl' with our beautiful Cookie, Mommy Melanie and Mommy Gee
Gee. Merry Christmas, sweetest Cinnamon. Hugs and kisses
forever and
ever.
Love, Melanie, Georgette, Bruce and Chuck
Cinnamon Angel Costa, 1/9/1999 -

Cookie, Missing you beyond words 19 wks after you left us at
CARES. We love & miss you so, the holiday season is impossible
to imagine w/out our sweet girl to share it with. And your
14th birthday is less than 3 mos. away. You still & will
forever take my breath away, Cinnie. Kisses forever!
Cinnamon Precious Costa, 01/09/1999 -
06/04/2012
To our courageous, beautiful and loving Cookie,
Today marks 6 months from the day your family, because that’s what
we all are, had to let you move on to Rainbow Bridge, sweetest
girl. I want to add a permanent memorial for you on one of
the beautiful sites made for people like us, and the amazing and
wonderful ‘kids’ such as you, but I can’t yet put into words just
how much you are missed, and loved, and how much we treasure and
hold dear every minute of every day and night spent in your
company.
Mommy Melanie didn’t bring you home until you were 12 weeks old,
which again reminds me of just how lucky we were. We wound
up with the prettiest, sweetest, most loving, toughest and bravest
girl arriving at our home Easter weekend in 1999 in spite of the
fact others had come to visit you and your littermates. Thank you
again for picking your Mom out, the first of many blessings you
bestowed on your family simply by being you. Our combined
lives changed forever, and forever for the better, on that day,
Cinnie, for the exuberance and athleticism you demonstrated as a
puppy and young girl, gave way to perseverance and determination
to fight your way through recovery from back surgery on two
separate occasions. Physical therapy . . . the therapist
wrote a paper and did a video about you, Wonder Girl . . .
including swimming sessions in a tank, dressed in your own life
jacket . . . allowed you to keep on keeping on and enjoy a full,
wonderful life.
From celebrating the millennial New Years Eve in the Big Apple to
trips across the country and up and down the East coast, you were
always part of our plans, sweetheart, first in your Sherpa, and
later on in your stroller. We never doubted the size of your
heart or how much you loved us, but you inspired us beyond words
as you battled your disease earlier this year. Never has a
divine spirit shown more courage than you or a greater capacity
for caring about and protecting your family . . . we are forever
in your debt, and in awe of your spirit. We continue and
will forever miss everything about you, from your wake up barks,
to the sloppy kisses, to strolling around the neighborhood, to car
rides, to our cuddling sessions, everything. As I said in
the tear-stained letter I wrote and read to you during your last
earthbound weekend with the family, Cinnie, losing you at any
time, no matter how many years we got to share life with you, will
always have been too short by a lifetime. Kisses forever,
Cookie, hugs and kisses forever and ever.
Love, Melanie, Georgette, Bruce and Chuck
Cinnamon Precious Costa,

My Cinnamon Baby Girl - I Miss you very much! Not a day goes
by that I do not want you by my side. I know you will always
be in my heart, but I wish you could be in my arms again sharing
those wonderful hugs and licks. Please know that you will
ALWAYS be a very special part of me and that the unconditional
Love we shared WILL LAST FOREVER.
Love Hugs and Licks Forever and Ever and Many Many Many More!!

My little five pound bundle of joy with a sweet
soul and the happiest cat you've ever seen. Who would have ever
guessed that such a small cat would leave such a big impression
in my life. She will be greatly missed and always remembered
fondly. Sending love and hope that I will see her again someday
at the Bridge.
Cleo, May 28, 2001 - November 1, 2011
Golden Eyes
In Loving Memory.
When golden eyes no longer glow,
and we both know it's time to go,
Don't look at me with eyes so sad,
but think of better times we had,
When sunlight did upon us shine,
and happy days were yours and mine,
And through the grass we both did run,
and on our backs we felt the sun,
Think not of this dark final hour,
think not of when our lives turned sour,
Think not of hopelessness and pain,
but think of joy and laugh again,
For in that final act of love,
you released me to heaven above,
Where finally from pain I'm free,
where one day you will join with me,
Where together again we will rejoice,
and you and I as with one voice,
Will in perfect harmony sing,
of the joy and pain that love can bring,
And remember me just as I will,
always think of you until,
At last again I see your face,
grieve not, I am in a better place.

Dearest Baby Coco Chanel,
I had a very sad, sad day since you are so very far away.
Where did the fifteen years that we shared together go?
I watched the clouds move by and saw your picture in the sky.
Yearning for you to lick my face and feel your paws reach to me.
I cried and remember how sweet you were to us your people family.
Your daddy and I think of you today and each and every day and
Cherish you and all the love you gave to us in every way.
Knowing one day, we will be together again and remember all the
fun.
Thanks for years of happiness that you created here for everyone!
We love to look at all the Xmas photos with you unwrapping your
gifts and grabbing ours ..thinking they all were yours!
Holding eternal love in our hearts for you our little girl,
Mommy & Daddy

CODY CASTELLANOS, February 14, 2004 - February
23, 2012 @ 11:09 pm
Wrote this 1032 pm on Saturday, February 25,
2012.
My tribute to Cody, 8 yr old dog, my little baby
boy and best friend, February 14, 2004 - February 23, 2012 :
Cody, I cannot begin to tell you just how much I miss you. It's
been nearly 48 hours (Thursday night at 11:09 pm) since you left
us and I am beyond heartbroken. A piece of me went with you on
Thursday night as I said goodbye to you at the hospital. It was
the 45 minutes that I spent with you that I will cherish for the
rest of my life…. It was praying and saying goodbye to you. Over
these past two months with all your health issues, I greatly
feared the day that I would say goodbye. I would be there with
you when the time came. It would be my decision or you would
make it for us. But I am so glad you made it for us because I
don't know if I wanted to make that for you or it would have
tore my heart out if I did. We love you so much for that. What I
did not think about is this total emptiness that I have inside
me has since you passed. I did not prepare myself for that,
although I am not sure I could have. You were a chapter in our
lives that has sadly and suddenly come to an end and we are all
heartbroken. I would give anything to hold you one more time or
to know you are ok. I love you more than anything. You taught me
what all animals teach us- pure and unconditional love in the
deepest form. If any dog that was almost human it would be you,
Cody. You loved everyone you met you were outgoing, friendly and
wouldn't hurt a flea. You loved walks, drives and you lived to
play ball or fetch the bone, eat and make us happy. Cody, we
will never ever forget you, but you know that. You know we will
see each other again. You are happy with GOD and all the animals
now. You gave us so much unconditional love and joy. You were
that little baby boy that I never had. You were my best friend I
ever had….but you know that. I wish I could talk to you some
more and hug you some more-I miss that. You were one of a kind.
I will never replace you, as you are irreplaceable. As I walk
thru the house, see all the places where you would lay and it
breaks my heart. I will miss you waiting for me at the front
window at 6:30 pm each day as I drive up the driveway as I come
home from work as I would hear you barking for me with
excitement in your own way of saying: "HELLO DADDY'S HOME !!!".
This is going to take a long long time but by writing this it's
a beginning of healing. I know you don't want us sad but this is
the human part of us. We both know that you are no longer in
pain as you were on that day. You completed me Cody. Today I
washed your red bowl and it was the hardest thing for me to do.
Mommy and I also reviewed old photos of you, Cari, Caylee and
all of us. We will all tell Nate stories about you on how much
of a good boy you were to all us. We talked about you and how
you probably stopped by the house on your way to heaven to say
goodbye to Mommy, Cari and Caylee. You thanked Mommy for the
great life we provided you and for that you loved us so much for
it. You told both Cari and Caylee to watch and guard over Nate
as you always did. You told Cari that she is in charge of
protecting us now and to continue to giving us the unconditional
love and joy that you had given us if not more. To Caylee to
watch over Cari and continue to be the playful kitten that she
always been. We will be reunited and you can once again kiss my
cheek and I can squeeze you and smell your neck (I loved to do
that). Wait for me, I will be there someday with you. Till we
see each other again, Cody, go play ball, fetch a bone and run
with all the dogs in heaven sweetie! Huggies & Kissies, love
mommy, daddy, Lacy, Jaron, Jaedon, little Nate, Cari and Caylee.
Colby, February 10 2000 - April 9,2012
Colby, I will miss you always. You were my friend,my protector,the
one I told all my secrets too. You were my baby girl, I think of
the times you played football with the neighborhood kids, I don't
really know who had the most fun. You, the kids, or me watching
you. You never bit a soul yet your size was enough to make people
to take notice of you. I remember the time you were watching me on
the roof, you knew I was nervous,when the other dogs were barking,
I thought you took off. You were always loyal to me, when I peered
over the roof, you were looking back at me. The one thing I loved
about you the most was how smart you were. I've always been amazed
at the amount of words you knew. I hurt so bad to watch you be so
sick. I didn't mind being your eyes or cleaning up after you.I
knew you were suffering and I just couldn't put you through any
longer what I wouldn't want to go through myself. Little Didi's
ears still perk up when I say your name. Didi looked for you for a
long time after you left us. We both will always keep you in our
hearts. LOVE, mommy
& Didi
Coltrane, June

CJ was the best thing that ever happened to me. I
will miss him more that anything. I have known him since I was 2
years old. He loved his older bro who always played with him. He
enjoyed catnip and hiding under my bed. He was always nearby
during good times and bad times. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH and he will be
so missed. See you at the Bridge.
Cooper "Coopy" Metzker,
12/10/95 - 12/14/12
Cooper was a 17 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix dog.
He had a kind heart and a strong spirit, and Mike (his Dad) said
he never saw a dog with such willpower. Mike adopted Cooper when
he was 4 years old from someone who was using him as a guard dog
and was giving him up. If it wasn't for Mike adopting him,
Cooper's fate may have ended up differently. His life with us was
full of lots of love, lots of hikes and walks, good food (and
begging for good food), a warm house, toys to destroy and pretty
much anything else life gave him. I first met Cooper in
Colorado a few months after Mike adopted him. I was putting on my
hiking boots getting ready for a group hike when Cooper came
around my car with Mike to check me out. Mike and I were not
together then, so I always said Cooper was picking out his
Mom, since a few months later Mike and I did start dating. A
year later we lived together as a family with Cooper's new sister
cat, Whitney. It didn't take long for Cooper to "train" us,
although Whitney trained him her way. Before we moved to Oregon,
Copper and Mike got to spend some guy time living in a single wide
trailer in California until Mike got his job transferred to
Oregon. Cooper loved this adventure but pretty much loved anything
as long as his Dad Mike was there. Cooper idolized his human Dad
and was loyal to the end.
Over the past year, Cooper began to age much more quickly. Before
this, he had struggled with arthritis in his back however he
was still able to go on his walks. As joint problems spread to
other parts of his body, Cooper relied on us to get him up and his
walks got shorter and shorter. Old age creeped upon him in other
ways and medication only helped some. His spirit and willpower
never lessened, which made it hard to know when it was time to let
him go. That time came and we had to say goodbye to our buddy. We
hope he meets his sister Whitney in heaven and she can introduce
him to all of his other human and animal families. We will miss
him very much. We will always remember what a wonderful dog he was
and he will be in our hearts forever.
Copper (My Princess), 11/11/02 - 04/23/12
Oh My Princess you were the best girl. I will
never forget all the times I went up to Massachusetts arrived at
your house and how you came down those stairs when I called your
name and greeted me at the car and how I loved that. I will also
remember those nights you and I on the coach (which your Momma
and I had to hurry up to open it up so I could get on it) how I
loved you being with me. I also will always remember sneaking
goodies, people food to you. You will always be in my heart and
thoughts as always. I will see you again as I will see Max which
I wish you both had met but you will. If I could have got you on
a plane and not got caught I would have no doubt in my mind. My
Princess I will always miss you as your family will.
I will still get you things for Christmas and have a special
place for them. I will never say GOOD-BYE since we will be
together again.
LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND ALWAYS WILL YOUR GRAMMY

We love you and miss you so much, thank you for being a wonderful
family pet, best friend and childhood dog! Thank you for licking
our tears, making us laugh and getting into trouble with us. We
will never forget that day you walked into Petsmart waiting for us
to take you home, from that day forward you stole all of our
tissues, let me dress you up while you posed for pictures, played
hide and seek, ate our popcorn, drove our parents crazy, pooped in
the house and slept in our beds...but most of all you stole our
hearts. My wish for you is that right now you are playing with
other animals without any pain or suffering, you aren't scared or
lonely, that you have all the tissues and icecream you could ever
want and that you know one day you'll see us again! We will think
about you every day and hope that thoughts of you eventually bring
a smile without anymore tears.
See you soon Mo Mo and love you lots!

We got Cosmo as a puppy, he was a big part of our
family. Not only did our three daughters love him, but also our
son-in-laws and five grandchildren. Cosmo was liked by our
neighbors and friends and relatives. Cosmo never hurt anyone in
his life. The only thing he wanted was to be petted and talked
too. His health was starting to go down hill and he was on pain
pills for the last six months. Cosmo also loved to drink beer
with me. Cosmo was the sweetest pet any person would of loved to
have. My wife and I will miss our baby alot. Now our home is
quiet and lonely. We love you Cosmo. but we know that he is in a
better place now and up above with his parents and one of his
sisters.
Good bye Cos, one of these days in the far future, we will be
together again, but until then we will have your ashes on the
mantle over our fire place.
Love Cosmo's Grandfather
Cujo, November 25,1997 - May 5, 2012
Dear Cujo: God saw you were getting tired, and a
cure was not to be, so he put His arms around you and whispered,
"come with Me" With tearful eyes we watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A
golden heart stopped beating, your tired little body laid to
rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us YOUR place with Him
was best. So, When you're alone with Jesus And He sweetly smiles
on thee, Will you gently whisper to Him,.. A little prayer for
me? And when I'm alone with Jesus And all else is hid from view,
I'll gently drop into His heart A little prayer for you.
Cujo Flores, 9 yrs old. 2-7-2012
Cujo Flores was our little baby boy, he will be
in our hearts forever and ever..... He was also known as EL
PROWLER because he would sneak out and surprise you where ever
you were. He was a sneaky little chihuahua.He was absolutely
perfect.He was fun, caring, hyper, but most of all loved and
adored by everyone who knew him. Our hearts are forever broken
and he will NEVER be replaced. We would be selfish to wish he
was still here because in the end he suffered a great deal. He
was strong and fought til the very end.My daughter loved him
dearly they were always together and for some reason they had a
special bond that only they could understand..Whenever he heard
her voice he would jump up with joy and start barking and
looking for her trying to get out of the room :) He was always
waiting for her after school. Left to cherish his memory are his
owners Milo, Erika, & Bibis also his mother Mimis, Father
Scrappy, his brother Twinkie and 2 sisters Foxie & Bambi...
Cujo Flores may you rest in peace, love always Milo, Erika,
& Bibis.....Scrappy & Twinkie.
I Only Wanted You Cujo Flores
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
We Miss You boy

A very cute cat - belonging to my neighbor, a
mixture of grey and white. It was a shy, but playful cat. I will
miss her.
