Raquel Ricci, 11/15/05 - 10/28/14 
Dear Raquel Angelique Ricci,
Baby girl, my baby girl. I miss you so much. I am so sorry I was
not with you when you passed. You were the best of part me. The
absolute essence of joy and love. My favorite part of every day
was coming home to you. Your little puppy face, beautiful eyes,
and sweet kisses could change my day from being terrible to
wonderful. My heart is aching without you. I am sitting on the
couch, and you're not there, and it hurts. I can not wait to see
you again. You were my happiness, and I can't wait to reunite
with you again. I hope you and Angus are rolling in the grass
somewhere with tons of tennis balls and fresh spring water. I
hope Murmur and Tiny are with you too. Raj, I will always be
here for you. You will never ever leave me. You will always be
in my heart.
Raquel, every time you looked up at me, I felt joy and love.
Every time you hopped on my bed and gave me a kiss while
studying, I knew everything I was doing was for you. I can't
imaging studying for exams without you by my side.
When I see you again, I am going to cook you puppy cupcakes, rub
your belly, hold your little paws in my hand, rub the bridge of
your nose, kiss your little ears, massage your scalp, go on
unleashed walks, finally take you to the beach, get you soft
serve ice cream, and hold you close. Thank you for every moment
of happiness you gave me. I love you. I love you. I love you.

Rojo, 09/09/99 - 08/04/14
Rojo was my best friend in the whole world. She was a
beautiful, bossy, active, loving little red dachshund. She had a
special way of communicating with me. I was so pleased to be
her Momma for almost 15 years. The toughest day of my life
was having to let her ago. When she passed away
my heart went numb and a part of me died. I miss her and
love her so very much. My life will never be the
same. Keffie misses your spa treatment licks and you
stalking her around the house. You were Keffie's eyes and
ears. You were my alarm clock every morning. I miss that so
very much. My heart aches every day and hopes that you are
okay. We will never forget you and we will see you
again. A big hug and kisses are being sent up to
heaven from us. Always remember we are your family and
always will be. XXXOOOO
Love you forever, your Momma and Papa and Keffie
Romeo "Mo Mo", 6/30/2006 - 3/31/2014
My Furbaby Romeo Gutierrez aka “Mo Mo” completed his mission on
earth on 3/31/14. I rescued Mo Mo from Petsmart on June 30
2008, he was 2 years old, the first thing he did when I brought
him home was lay on my pillow, and there after he would always
sleep on my pillow right near my head. I knew he was special
because when ever I would feel depressed or anxious he would come
lay by me or jump on my lap and purr loudly. He loved to drink
water from the faucet and didn't mind taking baths. One amazing
thing he would do was when ever I came home from work, he would
jump out of his favorite bush and wait until I turned off the car
and then greeted me at my car door! He loved hanging out outside
but would always come home before dark. He even liked going
outside in the rain and came home soaking wet once. At the time I
adopted Mo Mo I was suffering with severe depression and anxiety,
but he brought me comfort when I was sad and eased my anxiety. He
loved everyone and everyone loved him and people would always tell
me what a sweet and friendly cat he is, and he truly was. I now
understand why you came into my life Mo Mo, you came into my life
when I needed you the most. Your job is done and you are now my
angel waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge. I know I will get to
hold you again one day, but until then I will always have you in
my heart.
Love you always, your mama Paula Gutierrez
Ruby, 2005 - March 25, 2014
What can I say about Ruby Is she a cat or a dog? She
would come when called Was very boisterous at breakfast time
for her meal. She loved to sleep on the bed during the day.
Always curious to see what was happening outside standing on her
hind legs Ruby would peer out the front door and watch the cars go
by. Loved sitting at the rear sliding door watching the
birds eating at the bird feeder.
Once I was drinking water out of my coffee cup and she wanted a
drink too. After that, I put out a big Campbell Soup cup on
a stool. She would step up on the stool, take a seat and
drink her water.
In the evening she would come out when she heard the TV on and hop
up on the couch and as I was reclining she would lay down in front
of me while I was watching tv and spend time, leave and then come
back.
Mornings was great. Ruby would hear me wake and come in the
bedroom and get onto the bed and she would lay in front of me I
would cover her up and pet her and fall asleep again. Next
time I woke, she was gone to do whatever she was doing.
She loved the great outdoors. Every time I was on the porch,
she would come to the door and meow to go out. She would
come out and check out the area close to the porch never leaving
my eyesight. I then would sit in a chair and would have to
pull another chair up next to mine with a pillow on it and she
would sit there with me enjoy the warm summer day.
When I had the kitchen door open and just the screen door, if I
didn't lock it I would find the door ajar just enough for Ruby to
fit through. I would step out and find her on the porch or
she would scoot up the tree and hang there for a bit before
jumping off.
She loved getting treats from me. She was so gentle and
sweet taking the treats from me.
Ruby was my pal, partner. I will miss her forever. I
love her and always will. Looking forward to when I cross
the "bridge" to see you running toward me happy to see me again.
Rugged, 2/01/2001 - 7/21/2010
Well Rugged, Another Anniversary has come without you by my side.
Seems like only yesterday we were laying in the den face to face,
waiting for that winter sun that we grew so accustomed to, to
slowly close our eyes for another afternoon nap Has it really been
four years when our eyes that have seen so much together, met for
the last time? Four years since you chased that pesky groundhog
through the hollow tree and we ran through the woods with the
deer? Has it been that long since we watched the big blue crane at
the waterfall and watched the sun rise above those giant snow
covered fir trees in the winter? Four years now since that big paw
would rest on my shoulder while I drove?
You were always there for me. You always made the good times that
much better and the bad times just a little easier to get through.
You were and always will be my best friend. You showed and taught
me so much about nature, life, and what really matters the most.
The unconditional love of one heart, one soul, for another. You
gave me the gift of all gifts Rugg. You gave me YOU.
I wait now for eyes to meet again. For us to wake up from that
winter afternoon nap and have that big paw on my shoulder once
more. I miss you so Rugg. I miss you so...... All my love
Dad
Rusty, 02-02-2003 - 01-03-2014
Oh Rusty,
I miss you so much and it was so sudden when you left. You
were so very Special. I remember when we would walk, ride in
the car, play ball and take you to swim. I am so sorry you
are gone, there is a huge void in the house and a great big hole
in my heart. I miss you running to greet me when I came home
and the Love I saw in your Loving and Trusting Eyes.
Sometimes I think you are still here, but you aren't. I
remember when I got you as a Puppy, I didn't pick you, you picked
me. I count it as an Honor that you did pick me as your
Master and Friend. I Love You So Much my Sweet Boy.
Never will there be a more Faithful Friend. You were my
little four-legged child and I will always, always Love You.
I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge. Until we are together
again, have fun playing with Max, Buffy, Adacus, Harper, and Sugar
Bear. I Love You Rusty, my Little Brown Buddy!
Your Loving Master and Friend,
Ken
Ryley, July 8, 2001 - December 26,2014
If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane
I'd walk right up to Heaven
and bring you home again
Love you Ryley forever and always
until we meet again
