Tanner Bear, 4/11/16 
Tanner Bear some time has passed and it is still hard. I
miss you so much. I hear your bark and the way you met me at the
door after I worked all day. You always gave me a shoulder to
cry on and never judged me. I miss you and can't wait to see you
at the bridge. I thank God for putting you in my life. I love
and miss you. God bless and have fun buddy. No more seizures and
pain and allergies you are FREE. Seany, Christing and I love and
miss you. So keep God company and be a good friend until we meet
again. LOVE SEAN
Tashi, 2000 - 10/6/2016
This is a tribute for Tashi who was so well loved and cared for by
our dear friends, Sylvia and Bruce who rescued little Tashi almost
6 months ago and she just passed last week from Cancer. Syl
and Bruce are true pet lovers and have had dogs all the time we
knew them. They always had two to keep each other company
and always took such good care of them. In fact Syl always
cooked home made food adn made sure they were perfectly groomed
and treated them like little Princesses. If you were a dog,
you would want to be in their home and in their family as they
gave them the best. Little Tashi's picture was shared with me on
my Facebook page and just after they had to put down their last
dog, I forwarded them the photo and asked if they were
interested. They emailed me that they putin an application
with the rescue and were on their way to get Tashi. Although
I never met her, I felt she was in the right place for her last 6
months of her life and they were all blessed. Somehow over
the Rainbow she plays with all the other creatures and our little
dogs too and she will always be a part in their heart. We
will light a candle for them Monday night. Nancy and
Harry
Tassie, 9/11/2001 - 12/17/2015
To My Girl Tassie
Having you as my dog made me a better person
You made my life richer
My love for you is eternal and I know we will be together again
It was hard to let you go, but I knew it was the best thing for
you
I could not bear to see you hurt any longer, or hear you whine in
pain
You were trying to tell that it was time,
We made that agreement long ago, that when it was your time to
leave me on this earth you would let me know
You showed me with different signs as you got older and sicker
You lost your hearing and eyesight, but you never lost your love
for me
You waited for me to come home everyday
and you watched me from the window with your sweet little face and
black nose pressed against the window
when I ever left the house
You hated being apart from me and I hated leaving you, even for a
little while
Your bark slowly faded
Your body slowly declined, you quit eating and begging me for
treats
You always loved our walks, but even on our last walk you lagged
behind me on the leash as we walked
the neighborhood that we had walked hundreds of times together
You still sniffed and peed in all of your familiar places and left
your scent one last time
I held you close in my arms as the vet gave the shot that would
put you out of your pain and set you free
I know you are better know, but I am so sad
You have left a hole in my heart and a void in my life that will
never be filled
You were my best friend, my only girl, so cute and smart
You loved italian food and dog treats
You used to jump six feet in the air and run in the yard so fast
that your ears flew back and almost lifted you off the ground
You protected me and would have died for me
I had you for 14 and a half years
I cooked for you and you always loved being in the kitchen with me
when i cooked
I taught you how to count
and every morning before I let you out told you to do your puppy
streatches
You were the smartest dog I have ever known
And you loved me unconditionally until the end
I loved you more than i have ever loved in my life and I know you
felt the same for me
We were the best friends and I have to learn to live in our home
without you
This house has a lonely feel without you, because you made it warm
for me, now I must go on with my life without you
I will never forget you and will always love you, you can never be
replaced in my heart
You were with me through failed relationships, the death of my
mother and my own illnesses and personal struggles,
You slept with me and laid with me during the best and worst times
of my life and I am grateful to God for giving you to me
I was lucky to have you as long as I did
We had a great life together, you stuck to me like glue
I miss you Tassies Girl, may you be at peace, out of pain and
happy!
Watch and wait for me until I pass to the side where you are and
we will hold eachother again for eternity!
Love;
Your Owner and Friend forever
Taz, 08/23/16
My sweet Angel, I will miss you everyday and love you forever. You
are free from pain and never have to be afraid for you are in a
place where you can run free and play with others. From day 1 you
have been a blessing and treasure to have around and I always
wanted to protect and keep you safe and I'm so sorry that I failed
you, but rest assured knowing if I ever find out what happened and
what attacked and injured you so badly there will be consequences
for its actions. We tried to fix you sweetheart and nothing would
have made me happier but I had to let you go for your sake. I will
always love you baby girl. RIP Taz

Ted-Ted,
My "kissy boy" and my "little buddy". You were such a good,
loyal boy. We love you so much and miss you terribly
bad. I am so sorry for all of the pain and suffering you
endured in the end. You were such a fighter. My shadow
I will never forget you and I will never stop loving you. I
know you are in a better place with no more suffering.
Please tell Oscar, Harley and Libby hello from all of us. We
all are broken hearted and wish you were still here. Your
sister Jackie misses you and so does brother Barney and Niece
Bella. Until we meet again, we love you so very much Daddy,
Mommy, Alicia and Michael.
P.S. I am so sorry I was not there with you in the
end. The Doctor said you were suffering and I did not want
you to suffer any longer waiting for me.
Thomas, July 10th 2000 - June 17th

Always in my thoughts, you lovely boy, I will never forget you and
hope to be with you sometime.
Tia, 05/20/00 - 04/13/16
Hope you are at peace now and can run and chase again. We will
miss you Little Princess. Say Hi to Cooter for us.
Love you
Mom and Dad Giggey.
Tinkerbell Noel (Tink), Dec 25, 2009 -
March 14, 2016
Our beautiful Golden retriever passed away and we made that
terrible decision of letting her go without no more pain. She had
cancer. We adopted her at the age of 3. She was a great girl and
fit our family so good and we are so sad. She loved going to the
boat in the summer and resting on the dock and watch the ducks.
Last summer is when we knew something was wrong- she would get
very sea sick and just did not act herself and sneezed a lot. She
had a mass in the back of her nose and nothing much they could do
for her- we loved on her until we needed to make that decision to
let her go pain free and help her on her journey and visit the
rest of my fur babies. Miss you my girl and see you in time!!!! We
got her ashes back this week and I make jewelry and making a key
chain with a painted vile of some of her ashes in it and it's for
our boat keys.... Using charms and wine cork with her name on
it"TINK"

Tiny Giersdorf, 6/20/2016
In memory of a loving dog and companion. This girl is the
size of many adults, but so much love for all, what a
personality!!
You will be missed by us all Tiny.
Tobi Grant, 4/03 - 9/16/2016
13 years. Tobi, you were with me during the most important moments
of my life. You were so energetic and mischievous as a young
puppy. Always happy and jumping around. It pained me to see how
much your back hurt you. I tried to help you as much as I could.
And then your memory began to fade just like your sight and
hearing. Your pain got much worse. I had to make one of the most
painful decisions I've ever made. You were my girl. My swan puppy.
And I had to let you go. So here I sit. Missing you. I long
to hear your toenails click on the floor and smell your "frito"
smell. My heart is broken. My sweet baby, I will certainly
miss you. I will see you again. Until then, enjoy playing
tug with LaLa again. Run and chase those birds.
Love always,
Jared, Krissa, Jacob, Cole, and Rivers Grant
Trefor 'T-Bone' Tanllyd, 8th May 2008
- 16th July 2016
Uncle John heard some commotion and realised that the regularly
visiting cat Gwenllian had given birth to you in our garden!
Auntie Janet some half an hour later noticed that your twin sister
Elliw had also made an appearance. Mummy Gwenllian was a fun-mum,
she always played with you to keep you interested and content.
We decided to keep both you and your twin sister - your mother
Gwenllian and her mother, Ginger, was owned by a neighbouring
house. Ginger was also a regular visitor to our garden.
Your mother Gwenllian was given a cat shelter a year or so later,
but grandmother Ginger stayed.
Uncle Anthony suggested the name of Trefor for you, Auntie Janet
suggested Elliw for your twin sister. You were both known as
“Trefor & Elliw, The Terrible Twins”
About 6 weeks later, your cousin (though we also think he was your
half-brother) was born. We decided to keep him and named him
Trebor, even though his name was merely one letter different from
yours. The reason being Trebor was born on what would have been
Auntie Janet's Father's 103rd birthday, and his name was Robert
(Trebor is Robert spelt backwards.) You were now “Trefor &
Elliw, The Terrible Twins and Trebor”.
Trebor and you became frenemies; at times getting up to mischief
together, other times there would be loud disagreements between
the two of you. Auntie Janet had to intervene one Christmas time
as you were running up and down the stairs a number of times and
causing a loud racket. Auntie Janet sternly told both of you that
Santa would not be coming. Both of you stopped the disagreement –
neither of you wanted to risk Santa not coming, did you?...
All three of you took a huge interest in the new washing machine,
you all seemed to be fascinated with the spinning drum and soapy
lather. I still wonder to this day what that fascination was!
Sadly Trebor became ill, he had a potentially congenital issue
with his intestines; he suffered intussusception and even though
he was operated on twice, it reoccurred, and we were advised it
was better for him to cross the rainbow bridge even though he was
barely 3½ years old. That devastated us, and still does
actually....
Some weeks after losing Trebor, you were looking around the house,
seemingly looking in and around Trebor's favourite places. Auntie
Janet realised you were looking for him, so she tried to explain
to you he had gone to a better plane.
About a year or so later, another kitten (which we assumed had
been dumped) came to live with us. We named him Yoda, because when
he was tired, his eyes made him look very much like Yoda from the
Star Wars films. Both you and Elliw were initially sceptical of
Yoda, but both of you eventually seemed to accept him. I think
Yoda was always looking forward to playing with Uncle Trefor and
Auntie Elliw! One thing we find rather ironic, though sweet, is
that Yoda seems to look a lot at Trebor's picture. We wonder if
he's trying to figure out who the handsome cat in the picture
is....
More recently, Uncle John had an inkling that you weren't well.
Auntie Janet and Uncle Anthony hadn't picked up on this vibe, but
Uncle John took you to the vet some two weeks ago. We were
horrified to be told that you had an apparent tumour on your
stomach area! At the time you were eating, in fact eating like a
horse. But some 4 days ago, you stopped eating and were drinking
noticeably more than usual. You weren't your usual happy self, you
were very introverted and withdrawn. I think we all knew that you
were preparing to cross the rainbow bridge.
We took you to the vet today and were told that the tumour had
practically tripled in size. You even hissed at us, something
you'd never usually do, when we tried to lift you onto the vet's
table. We decided to help you cross the rainbow bridge after
consulting with the vet. What was rather sad was that only two
weeks earlier, we found your grandmother Ginger in our garden
slumped and unable to get up. She was helped to cross the bridge
then. Now here two weeks later you, her grandson and only half her
age, was having to be helped over it. :(
Uncle John stayed with you to “wave you off” though it would rip
his heart into shreds. :( Auntie Janet and Uncle Anthony couldn't
bear the thought of being there when you were helped, but did hope
that you would be released from your pain.
We hope that you are happy now and with the others who have
crossed before (Smokey, Jar-Jar, Owain Gwynedd, Ravage, Ginger,
Clustiau the rabbit, and especially your frenemy Trebor).
Miss you lots sweet friend, :'(
Lots and lots and lots of love,
Your feline cohorts and your three human “servants” (John, Janet
and Anthony)
Tummy, 2006 - 05/05/2016
My precious Tommy I woke up Friday and I found you eaten by Kyoty.
You knocked on my door with your sister Kelli 10 years ago and
been feeding ever since. I miss your stories when you are inside
the house you were always talking miss you running home when I
drive up. The house. Nothing is the same anymore. Your sister is
looking for you and so is Peggy Sue and Noche. I can't even
function and you always looked after your sister cuddling with her
and cleaning her.wished I could put the clock back and kept you
inside.Bye for now. My Tummy will never forget you.
See you in heaven precious!
Tyler, Dec 2002 - Dec 16, 2015
Tyler-
My beautiful baby girl, you will be forever in my heart..
Sometimes I don't know if the tears I cry are for you or for
myself because now I must live without you..
Three things I do know...
I love you, I miss you so much my heart hurts and you will never
be forgotten.
