Maddie, 2010 -
3/24/2017 
Maddie, there isn't a day that goes by when I don't think of
you. You were my precious and loving kitty. I would
give anything to have you here with me so I can hold you, kiss
you, pet you and play with you. You brought so much joy and
happiness to my life. I'll always remember the times you
used to comfort me when you knew I was upset, and the times when I
was on the telephone and you would tap me to get my
attention. I hate to see you suffer with cancer and I hope
you would forgive me for letting you suffer for as long as you
did. I just hated to lose you. I couldn't imagine my
life without you. No other cat can ever replace you in my heart.
You rest in peace sweetie until I see you at the Rainbow
Bridge. I love you now and always Maddie Gray. From your
loving mom.

Johnson, 2011 - 08/06/2017
I have lost my copilot and best friend. She was truly a legend.
Anyone who knew Normand knew what a pure soul she was and how much
she loved everyone around her, animals and people alike.
Thankfully, she went fast just like everything else she did in
life. I am grateful that I was able to be with her till the end.
To everyone with lovely beasts, be sure to give them extra hugs
for me today. -Savannah
Maggie, 06.21.02
- 05.07.17
Maggie, what a joyful puppy dog you were! When I
first met you at your foster home, you came racing across the
yard and threw yourself at my feet. It was love at first sight
and I knew immediately I must bring you home...to your forever
home. You had made an incredible journey, pulled out of a puppy
mill by the Golden Retriever Society of Western New York. And,
yet, despite those awful first three years, you were always
happy and joyful, always wanting to greet and be with everyone.
We called you a princess, too, because you knew what you wanted
to do and where you wanted to go. When we would take walks,
people would ask me where we were going, to which I would
respond, "I'm just waiting for instructions!" Everyone loved you
and if you ran into someone who was a little less enthusiastic
about puppy dogs, they became your conversion project.
Invariably, you succeeded! How can pure love not triumph?
You left us so suddenly last Sunday and we just weren't
prepared. Yes, I know you were 15 and you had outlived your two
Lab sisters, Abby and Molly. And, yes, we knew your sight and
hearing were becoming very poor which was causing you anxiety.
But, we weren't ready. We miss you just terribly and cry an
awful lot. Our only comfort is knowing that you are with your
sisters and are healthy again. That said, please stay close to
us. We need you. Love and many, many, many hugs, Mother,
Dad, Courtney and Jessie
Maggie, November 11, 2013 - April 4,
2017
My dear sweet Maggie girl your time with me was so short. My heart
hurts each day so much I can barely breathe. From the day I saw
you and brought you home such a tiny thing; we instantly bonded.
You were my everywhere baby. Lightly scratching my leg to hold
you, sitting in my chair each night to snuggle, prayer time well
you knew where that was going to be too, flower beds you loved to
watch me work in them, and while I cooked you were underfoot
always loving to eat...and taking walks....
until the fatal day your back and legs started to hurt. Who knew
you would undergo surgery, seem to recover and two short months
later be paralyzed requiring another spinal surgery. You just
could not get back what you lost.
We worked hard and I loved caring for you every minute. You were
never a burden!!! You are my dearest friend. I'll love and miss
you always!
Moms Maggie girl rest well now and run like you always loved to
do. Sit with your face in the sun and rest.
Maize, 2/11/2008
- 9/5/2017
Oh Maize, my big beautiful malamute girl, you brought a lot of
love and caring into my home. You followed too closely on
the heels of Ender, who we lost 5 months ago. Igloo has
cried for you for 6 days now; he can't find you. Your years
in this home made everything so much better. Hopefully Ender
has helped welcome you to Heaven by now and you two can stay
together, until I can meet you at the Bridge someday.
Malik Cobb, 07/1999 - 02/14/2014
Dear Malik,
Today, Valentine's Day marks the three year anniversary of your
transition to heaven from this earth. I tell my friends my
heart left me on Valentine's Day. I really miss you my
friend, my heart. I hope that you know I gave the best I
could to you. I wished that I could do more. You know
I talk about you all the time! I miss our long walks, late nights,
and your presence in the house. You were and are my
protector! Even though you are physically gone, your spirit is
always with me. You are my prayer angel. YOU are
always in my HEART!
Love,
Mommy

My sweet Max, it has been week since I lost you and my heart
is breaking. I see you everywhere. You were my shadow,
my buddy and always there for me. I am so grateful that I
had the opportunity to be your mom. I will miss you forever
and know that one day we shall meet again for eternity. Your
face will always be in my heart. I love you so. You
were with me at work, at home and everywhere. It is so
lonely without you. I have your blanket on my bed to comfort
me. I did not want to let you go but your little heart was
ready to sleep and I saw it in your eyes, if I could have
made it better I would have. You are now with Charlie,
Sammy, Snowball and Barney just waiting for me.
Love you sweet boy

You Left Too Soon. You Were My Greatest Spiritual Teacher &
Best Friend.Please Visit Us Often & Reincarnate If Possible
Or Send Us Another Companion For Your Feline Companion Here With
Us. We All MIss You Every Day!
Mei Lin Stroud, 11/29/2003 - 5/13/2016
Sweet, Sweet Kitty Girl - Oh Mei you struggled for so long and
were so patient and loving, even while struggling to
breathe. You were the most loving, friendliest Siamese we've
ever had. I don't know how Eddie adjusted after you were
gone - it has been difficult for all of us. You were there
for me when Elizabeth had cancer - through all her treatments and
surgeries, through mom's passing away and kids moving out. I
miss you terribly to this day. We are so grateful that you
lived with us. I look forward to the day we will all be
together again. We love you - Carolyn and Dave Stroud
Merlin, 05/24/2002 - 02/17/2017
To my love, my soul mate. We had a connection like no other. You
were my first Yorkie and my first Champion. I was privileged
that you chose me to be your Mommy. The Breeder said you
were stand offish and would bite if approached. You came
across the bed to me and started licking me and it was love at
first sight. I did all I could for you, but God decided it was
your time. You join so many others of the Emerald Yorkie
clan. You won't be alone. I will cherish those last kisses
you gave me. I held you close, petted you and kissed you and said
I love you a thousand times before you left me. I even held you
for at least a half hour after you were gone. I just couldn't let
you go. I miss you baby boy. You will not be forgotten, always
missed, always loved and you took a big chunk of my heart with
you It will not be mended until we meet again. I loved/love
all my furbabies, but you were special in every way. Rest In Peace
my love. Hugs and Kisses from Mommy.
Mickey, 9/2/2004 - 3/30/2017
My dear Mickey:
You came into my life like a whirlwind, and helped my heart to
heal from the loss of your brother, Gibby. I hope you have
met Gibby, Gumby, Pokey and Cody by now, and you are all playing
together, and waiting for me to join you again and we will cross
the Rainbow Bridge together. I miss you so much, and I want
to thank you for all of the love and support you gave to me
whenever I needed it. You were my buddy, my chubby guy, my
Mr. Love, my reason to smile and laugh so many times. You
gave me so much joy on so many days. I am so sorry that the
diabetes finally took its toll on your 2 back legs, and we had to
say goodbye for now. One of the hardest things I had to do
was say goodbye to you, and I know you really did not want to
leave us. You know how much we loved you, and we loved you
back with all of our hearts. Sam, Keith and I will all see
you again, even though I don't know when, that is up to God.
Please play and be happy and wait for that day patiently.
You are happy and healthy again and now you always will be that
way forever. I love you you so very much. Kisses,
kisses, and love to you forever, my wonderful Mickey.
Miss Daisy C,
04/27/2001 - 11/27/2017
Beloved dog of Ron Miller & Gert-Jan Kruijdenberg, sisterdog
to Lady C. Lady who died in 2008
For almost 10 years you were our bundle of joy, our second loved
doggy.
She will be sadly missed. Forever in our hearts and minds, rest in
peace Miss Daisy!
Missy,
10/11/2002 - 7/3/2017
Yesterdays pictures means that much more today, as we both enjoyed
the sunshine together and you were happy. Earlier this morning, it
was time. She and I shared the same birthday, 10/11. She would
have been 15 yrs old in a few months. The kids picked her (at 10
weeks old), they all grew up with her. She was our loyal,
unconditional loving, reliable and constant companion, full of
energy in her younger years, and would chase the ball forever, if
we let her. As she grew older she couldn't do that anymore, she
slowed down greatly and just was content watching us move about
with our lives. We all loved her back, day in an day out. Many
years of happy memories with her, she will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace my Missy. Now you can be free to chase after the
ball forever.
Missy, July 2000
- April 22 2017
I will miss you so much my crochet buddy. You were a big part of
our lives for 17 years, lots of moves and the kids growing up and
moving out. You loved to greet everyone at the door, you always
were more like a dog than a cat! A cat that played fetch!
Say hi to Fluffy for me, know you missed her when she was gone.
Love you and will see you the other side of the Rainbow Bridge
Missy
(MissElena), October 3, 2005 - July 14, 2017
Our little angel, our little girl, came into our life on a
beautiful October day. She was the smallest of the litter;
she was sweet, smart and full of love. On that day Missy changed
our lives forever. I would put her in my lap on her back and
watch her fall asleep. Through the years Missy battle a number of
health problems. Missy remained happy, playful and loved
everybody, she was always by my side. She loved her walks,
birds, and even cats but she especially loved frogs. Each
spring she would look for the first frog of the season.
Missy we weren’t prepared to lose you and cry all the time for
you. The only thing that comforts us is knowing you are out
of pain, well again, running & playing with you momma,
sisters, grandma, grandpa, and daddy. We love you so much
and can’t wait to see you again. You are our little soul
baby. Love Momma, Daddy, Michael and Jeremy.
MISSY WINGER,
SEPTEMBER 23RD/2001 - MAY 23RD/17
WHEN I SAW YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
LITTLE GIRL I HAVE EVER SEEN. YOUR NICKNAME WAS THE QUEEN AS
YOU DEMANDED THE BEST. A LITTLE LADY BUT TOUGH. LOVED
TO BE CARRIED TO BED LIKE A BABY IN MY ARMS. ATTITUDE AND
SMART, IF YOU DID NOT GET WHAT YOU WANTED YOU WOULD TURN
YOUR BACK AND SULK. WALKS WERE YOUR FAVORITE, ESPECIALLY IN
ALGONQUIN PARK EVER SINCE YOU WERE 6 MONTHS OLD. WE LOVED
WHEN YOU CAME TO THE DOOR WITH A STUFFY AND TAIL WAGGING. YOU
WOULD LIE UPSIDE DOWN WITH A CHEWY, SO CUTE. HOPE YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU. NEVER THOUGHT THAT YOU
WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE US. THE HOUSE SEEMS EMPTY AND ANNIE AND
EBBY KEEP LOOKING FOR YOU, SO DO I. I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO
DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN WITH YOU. YOU WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS AND
MEMORIES FOREVER. WE ARE DEEPLY SAD. THE PAIN WILL SUBSIDE
BUT NEVER LEAVE. YOU ARE WITH CHEECH AND MAX NOW, WE ARE
BROKEN THAT YOU HAD TO LEAVE. I KNOW WE WILL MEET AGAIN
SOMEDAY BUT PLEASE KNOW WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE. BYE FOR
NOW OUR LITTLE QUEEN. LOVE MOM AND DAD, ANNIE AND EBBY
Mojo, August 16,
2005 - December 27, 2017
My beautiful Mojo earned her star tonight. A tabby halfing who
came into our lives 10 years ago and brought us so much joy,
laughter and smiles every single day she was with us. Whether it
was blocking the hallway or stairwell with her tiny body daring
one of our dogs to pass her; carrying up cat balls from her basket
downstairs to scatter them all over the upstairs; or carrying in
frogs during the summer months to release them in the kitchen to
her amusement; she was a precious little waif and we will miss her
so incredibly much. She lost her life to CRF but her spirit will
never leave our hearts.
She had so much love to give to her humans and was an ever present
blessing on our laps, shoulders, or nestled into our necks at
night.
Mojo is now reunited with Willow, Tigger, Murphie and Windser, the
latter who she probably greeted with a swat.
Fly free baby girl, we love you.

other organs were perfect but not his liver and part of the
gallbladder from the toxins this little dog was amazing and so
painful to of lost him he was my best friend. He literally saved
my life many times if he had gone home to hard in 2015 and I had
gone to look for poison mushrooms I would've never known what was

personality and I miss him terribly.
Mr Tibbs aka Tibbys, 01/22/02 -

Had to say goodbye to you my very good friend, Tibbys... the
hardest thing was saying goodbye and letting you go... I know you
had a hard time letting us go too... but I did it, we did it...
sad, but we are coping, life moves on... we had an amazing journey
together and I am forever grateful for the time we spent
together... an outstanding 15.2 years... I reminisce about you
now... how life is already so different and how I have embraced
the changes with dignity and decorum just as you did my little
prince right to the very end... your scent still
lingers on my clothes, oh yes, and your dog hair too... but I
don't care... I hung the black sweater I held you last on the
bedroom door to look everyday at and will not wear it for now...
Tato found a clump of hair on the carpet, and those made him cry
and miss you deeply... Gizmo is quite and mopey and missing you
so... I, we must all be strong for you, for us, cause I know
Tibbys that is what you would want... we can see you are happy...
and with Chico, Sylvester and Munchkin too... playing, running,
and having a grand old time together... the time won't be long,
before we are all together again... and we can ride off into the
sunset for eternity... God bless you my precious Tibbs, you will
always be with us every day in our heart and soul... Love Always,
Mama, Tato and Gizmo xo
Muff, 11/7/17
Muff, You came to me from a family that says they rescued you from
the streets. I think they just did not want you anymore. I'm glad
because you never would have been mine. I had you for 7 years and
I want to thank you for being part of my life. Letting you go
today was very hard for me, but I know that you are now young and
whole once more. I will miss you every day. Run and play, and
watch for me. The next time I see you we will be together forever.
Love, Dad
