Sadie Mae came into our lives in February 2018
and she captured our heart forever! Sadie gave us so much
love and taught us to be strong. Sadie had some challenges
and we helped her and she helped us through her journey on this
earth. Sadie loved her Mommy and her Sissy and she absolutely
loved her home. She also adored her brothers and sisters.
Toby Beau and Lilyana were her buddies. Thank you Sadie Mae for
letting us love you and we thank you for loving us. You will
always be our sweet angel. We will love you forever our baby
girl. Hugs and Kisses.
Samson, 2001 -
August 28th, 2020
Samson came into my life lost on the street and scared. I cleaned
him up, fed him and welcomed him into my home. He brought me such
happiness for the following 11 years.
The night before he died, I told him if he was ready to go, then
he should go. I never wanted to make that decision for him. The
following day he passed and as devastated as I am, and will be for
a long time, I know it was his time. He was 19 years old.
I pray Rainbow Bridge exists and I'll have the chance to meet up
with him again one day. He was a beautiful, friendly, lovable cat
and I will never forget him.
Be happy, healthy and free Samson, and I will see you again soon.
I love you buddy.

Sammy,
I love and miss you very much.Thank you for coming into our
lives, loving us unconditionally, and becoming part of our family.
You have brought us (and many others) so much joy and happiness.
When your Mama, Kathy, passed away 5 years ago I don't know if I
could have gotten thru it without you. I didn't care if I did or
not. Then I would look at you and know that I had to, so I could
take care of you. I remember for 3-4 weeks you would walk with
your tail down and nose almost dragging the ground. It hurt my
heart to watch you. But we helped each other and did make it.
We all had so many wonderful times camping, boating, tubing
on the river, and everything we did. You loved Christmas as much
as we did. We enjoyed watching you open your gifts and how excited
you would get. It makes my heart smile while I'm crying. Thank you
for your love.
I could go on and on my precious, but I better stop. When
you see mom, give her my love and tell her I miss her too. Run
free baby with no more pain. I so look forward to seeing you at
the rainbow bridge someday. You'll forever live in my heart and
dreams.
I Love You,
Daddy
Sasha Hawkins,

Sasha, you are the love of my lifetime. Thank you
for spending your life with me. Thank you for giving me all the
love and comfort and joy and so much more you gave me. My miss,
my miss, I loved every second of your life. I hope you felt as
loved and safe and special as I always wanted you to. You were a
spoiled rotten girl, and it was the pleasure of my lifetime to
do that for you. I loved shopping for the things you loved most.
You were my sweet, gentle girl, and I hope you knew that I
returned all the love and comfort you gave me. I hope you always
felt loved and safe and content. There's a empty place now where
my heart used to be. You'll always be there, it's just different
now. Now I have to miss you. I can't wait to hold you and stroke
your fur, and tell you what a good girl you are once again. You
will forever be in my heart. You are my heart. So my girl, my
girl... I'll love you always and forever, my cozy girl. So until
we both are together again, I'll miss you until I get
there.
Shadow, 12/16/20
Shadow was a wonderful cat that came until my family lives at the
right time. She passed away a week before Christmas do to health
problems. She loved to snuggle up to us and just love us without
judging.
Shorty,
07/01/2010 - 9/15/2020
My beautiful Corgi girl, Shorty, you were the light of my life and
I'll always keep you in my heart. You were always there for me and
helped me through the worst time in my life. You added a joy and a
light to my life. A laugh a day- that's what I always said you
provided. So cute, friendly and loving- every day with you was a
joy and a blessing. I love you so much, Shorty and I hope and pray
I will see you again on the other side. Till then, remember mommy
loves you so much and thank you for all the love and companionship
you gave to me.

Helmick, 09/16/2002 - 11/02/2020
You’re killing me Smalls! :) We adopted you from our amazing
local shelter in 2007 when you were 5 years old. Someone
discarded you after they felt you couldn’t make puppies for them
anymore. Their loss was our wonderful gain! You joined our
family forever! You were our first experience with the chihuahua
breed! We fell in love with you! Mom did the most! But don’t
tell the others! ;) You loved us all so unconditionally for so
many years! We had so many adventures and shenanigans along the
way! We were happy you stayed with us until the lovely age of
18! I wish it could have been many more years but we knew you
had to say goodbye for now! I know you’ll be at the rainbow
bridge along with your sisters Lady, Buffy and cousin Maggie!
Until we meet again! Play, run and have all the sweets my little
sweet toothed girl! Love you so much!

Smeagol was my best friend who helped me realize good qualities
about myself I wasn't sure I had. He loved me and I always
fed him when he was hungry. I loved him and miss him so
much.
Smokey, June
1976 - 1/23/1992
To Smokey, this is long overdue. You were my first cat,
adopted when I was in college and still a few years before I met
my wife. You were very social and followed me and us through
many life changes You unfortunately developed an auto-immune
disease, but lived on many years after that. You tolerated a
lot of unpleasant trips to the vet, but as my wife said you had a
strong will to live. That sadly came to an end when our vet
said it was time. We had never faced the decision before of
euthanasia or to try to keep you around past what was fair to
you. Its a decision we have now faced several times since as
we have had five other cats with only one still alive at this
time. The decision is always hard. With you being my
first cat you taught me many things about cat care. You also
laid the groundwork for our desire to keep adopting new pets into
the family. You are missed.

My Snickerdoddle mommy loves u and if love would've saved you..You
would of lived forever. I miss you and I will everyday but I know
you will be at the Rainbow bridge waiting for me. Thank you for
putting your trust in Me..you will always live in my heart. Love
Mommy..Mommy Loves you.
When you adopt a shelter dog, you will have years and years of
very good days and one terrible day. Turns out Dec 1st, 2020 was
that terrible day. The lipomas combined with the three mast cell
tumors was one of the most dastardly ways to send a dog across the
"rainbow bridge."So, Snicky Powell November 25th, 2003 to December
1st, 2020. R.I.P. "We love you dearly.”
Adopt a senior shelter dog or cat today. They will be forever
grateful.

Sophie,
7/20/2020
Sophie was adopted from a rescue shelter after the puppy mill she
was a breeder for was shut down. Never knew her true age,
possibly 13 when she died. She survived breast cancer and
was a very happy little girl. She had a freak accident on
vacation and jumped over a log hurting her spine. She had to be
sent to the bridge.
Due to her previous life, she was very stoic, subdued and quiet
except when it was time to eat!! That got her excited. She
loved me and trusted only a few others. My heart is so
broken. I'll love you forever Sophie

Spike, July 15
2000 - November 28 2020
On one of the few sunny days in November, we gently ushered our
faithful companion, Spike, across the Rainbow Bridge to his new
home. We know he will be made welcome there by his predecessors,
Sherlock, Watson, Holmes and Moriarty, who will light candles to
show him the way. Spike blessed us with 20 1/2 years of affection.
He could be territorial, feisty and king of the roost, but with
age came a cuddly, mellow, loyal cat who loved curling up, snug
against our hearts, his face buried in our necks. He braved
pancreatitis and arthritis with grace, rebelling occasionally when
we would find ejected pills behind a sofa cushion or under a
table.
We have already found clumps of stray hair and a whisker,reminding
us that he will always have a place in our home. In our grief, we
rely now on our Maine Coon, Arthur, for comic relief, but we know
that for days and weeks to come, we will be watching for a ginger
cat, coming around the corner or snoozing in his favorite corner
of the loveseat. We will miss his signature yowl in the middle of
the night and the weight and warmth of him against our bodies.
Like all special creatures who have touched us and have known what
it means to be loved, Spike will now be in a place of peace and
rest, so well deserved. May God keep him in the palm of His
hand.

And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done

You will be sad I understand
Don't let your grief then stay your hand
For this day more than all the rest
Your love for me must stand the test
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears
You'd not want me to suffer so
The time has come ,please just let go
Although my tail its last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved
Please do not grieve, it must be you
Who had this painful thing to do
We've been so close, we two these years
Don't let your heart hold back the tears.
We love you STAR..........Mama and Papa

Sweetie Johnson,

My Sweetie. Four of the most precious kittens I have ever
seen, walked behind their mama. And walked right into my
yard, and into my heart. We lost Max way too soon.
You, Pixie and Remy grew up together. Wonderful
babies. I’m so happy that you were able to be
together. And then we lost Remy. Two sweet sisters
left. I knew when I saw your swollen lymph node, I knew what
it meant. Lymphoma. We kept you comfortable as long as
we could. You told me you were ready. I knew I had to
let you go. No more beautiful eyes and screeching when you
were hungry. No more hanging off the bar and running around
full throttle. You were a big gal with a big
personality. My feline Delta Burke. I miss you so
much. I’ll take great care of Pixie. And one day, we
will all be together again. Rest In Peace, my precious
girl. Mama loves you and misses you.
