Gino, 02/06/2004 - 07/28/2016 
Goodbye my dearest, my love.
You have been my partner, my pal, and so much more. From
your birth in Florida, we went to Long Island, ME. There
you grew up, learning to swim in Casco Bay, how to use the
doggie door, loving to play in the snow. Making friends
all over the island.
Then we moved to California. You went to puppy school and
more. Ultimately you were trained as a therapy dog and
worked with me in my several special education classrooms.
You were loved by all my students with disabilities and you
loved them.
In March of 2016, you saved my life. No greater pal could
I have had. In your last days, we hiked the hills, not
knowing the end was near. Finally, today, July 28, you
told me you had to leave me for the Rainbow Bridge.
I hope you will see BJ and Sensei there. They will welcome
you as brothers and my children.
With a broken heart, your Mom,
Janet Prochazka
Gizmo, June 1998 - September 14, 2016
We're all going to miss you so much, Gizmo. It's comforting to
know you lived a long and well loved 18 years, and I wouldn't
trade any of it for the world. What I would give to hear your
snoring or see you beg for water from the bathtub one last time.
Enjoy your eternal rest in Kitty Heaven, Gizmo, and say hi to
Bailey and Rocky for us. Hopefully you and Bailey will get along
better on the other side of the rainbow bridge. Gone, but
never forgotten, and you will live on forever in our hearts.
Love always,
Dan, Linda, Melissa, and Brett Hurley
Gordo Rubio, 06/22/2004 - 08/22/2016
Gordo Rubio you came into my life shortly after I turn 18 yrs old.
Dad was working and someone offer you to him. Thankfully dad
agreed to take you but since he was at work, he hid you in huge
pipes. Since it was also raining and muddy outside. You were cold
and scare not knowing what was going on. When dad brought you home
for the 1st time, I was scare and happy. At that time I was afraid
of dogs. You completely changed my life forever from that moment
on. You were 5 months old and already potty train, at the
beginning we kept you outside because I was still afraid of you.
But as days, weeks passed by. I always checked on you through the
window. Little by little I would get closer and closer to you. I
remember going outside wanting to play with you, you would grab my
arm with your teeth gently and drag me to the backyard. How I miss
those moments. Eventually you became an indoor doggy. You slept
with me on the bed, I took on car rides, to run errands. Anywhere
that I could possible take you, you would come. When I sad and
would cry, you would sense my sadness and would sit next to me.
When I was sick you wouldn't leave my sight unless you had to
potty or eat. You were the King of our home, very over protective
of me. You didn't even allow to yell or get near me without
showing your beautiful teeth. You loved me so much and I love you
the same way or possibly even more. The last few days before you
left were so horrible and devastating. You wouldn't eat and
anybody that knew you, knew that you loved food almost as much as
you loved me. Just 3 days before you were put to sleep, I found
out you had lung cancer, you were giving meds and fluid since you
were dehydrated. We were told you would possible get better in 2
days. The next day I saw how life was slipping in your eyes. I
took you to the Hospital and was told that you were in the last
stages, in pain and possibly just a few days left with you. I
didnt leave you at the hospital to get more meds because I knew in
my heart you wouldn't have wanted to stay there. I took you home
and placed you on OUR bed. I lay next to you and kept an eye on
you all night. I saw the pain and life slipping from you. Monday
morning i made the painful decision to put to rest and take that
pain away from you. You were put to sleep in our home in our bed
where you loved being the most. The people that loved you the most
where their to say our goodbyes to you. I know it was the right
thing to do, I hope you understand how hard it has been for me to
accept this. I love you and miss you more each passing day. I will
always have you in my heart and mind. Just know the day you took
your last breath you took my heart and soul. I cant wait to see
you again. Love mommy (Rosa R)
Gracie, 12/31/1999 - 06/23/2016
I have lost the most excellent dog I have ever in my life! I
am devastated, heartbroken and lost! I loved you more than I
can even express! I know time will help me heal but it will
never fill the void in my heart - ever! I loved you Gracie
sometimes more than my human family. You were never a
burden, even when you got sick. You were always my
baby! And, always will be. Love you to the moon and
back!
Your Mom!
Gracie, 5-26-2015
Gracie has lived a full life and has brought happeness, love,
companionship, and was a bright light into our lives. We will miss
her.
Pawprints left by you . . .
You no longer greet me,
As I walk through the door,
You're not there to make me smile,
To make me laugh anymore,
Life seems quiet without you,
You were far more than a pet,
You were a family member, a friend.
A loving soul I'll never forget.
It will take time to heal-
For the silence to go away,
I still listen for yoi,
And miss you every day,
You were such a great companion,
Constant, loyal and true.
My heart will always wear,
The pawprints left by you.
Gray, 04/03/2016
Though I only knew for for about 2 months you left quite an
impression on me. I will miss your meowing in the middle of
the night because you couldn't sleep and needed a belly rub.
And those times you disappeared for a day or 2 and I had no idea
if you would come back but hoped that maybe the people that lost
found you again. You were the most gentle cat I've ever met
never fighting back when my other cats would attack. All you
ever wanted was some food, a place to sleep and a good belly
rub. Goodbye Gray.
Gunar, November 2007 - May 15 /2016
Gunar oh my...What a boy!
Like a bull in a china shop with the gentlest of souls.
We love you!
I know you will find all the wonderful pets we have said our
Goodbye to. Please give them one big slurpy kiss from us.
You were kind and gentle, rough, playful all the things a perfect
boxer is.
I gave you my heart the day we brought you home, you healed
our souls.
Thanks for joy,companionship, and laughter you provided.
Rest Easy old friend.
With love,
Matt, Sara, Jessie, Mandy and Mom and Dad.
