Year 2000 Tributes

Baba Hope thru Buzzy

For my little star in the sky now twinkling over mommy, though you have been a part of my life for a short time you have wrapped your mommy's heart with so much happiness and joy she has enough to last her a lifetime. I sorely miss you a great deal and wish we had more time together but I know God has other plans for you...perhaps to watch over me.
I will never forget your baby face always looking at me and giving me sweet hugs and kisses. My precious Baba Hope, I love you very much.
Never forget me and the family as we will never forget you. Time you sleep now, you are now at a better place.

love always,
Mommy Linette

Babbie was her Mamma's Little Angel. She was a shelter cat that no one wanted and spent a great deal of her little life sick from one thing or another. She was a great companion and lived a good long life. The ravages of age and diabetes finally took her from us in the end.

Lois & David

Babe was sick since the past February. Since then she could not walk unassisted Through it all she was a little trouper who never complained except when she was left alone. My baby will be missed by mom and gram for the rest of time. I love you my honey.

Darlene McMorris

We will miss our beloved dog Babes. She was smart and loving, and was our only child. Her passing has left a hole in our lives that will be impossible to fill. We will always love you girl!

Lynn and Mike McFarland

This goes out to my Babi, who was our first "baby". You were a wonderful cat to have around and I have missed you the days that you weren't here already, so I can't imagine what the rest of my days will be like. Our feet will be lonely without you to rub your head on them at the dinner table and watching you put the other "kids" back in line by letting them know that you're the boss. I'll miss hearing your content purr while you lie on my chest at bedtime, or as you "chat" to the birds outside the bedroom window in the morning even if it did wake us up. I am thankful everyday for the extra days that we were given with you because of Dr Taft stepping in and taking over your case. Although she did not save you in time, we are thankful to her for the few nice visits we had with you seemingly in good spirits. Where you are although it's too soon for us is where God obviously wants you to be now, must be there is a shortage of angels. I will miss you everytime that I think of you, and at this rate, it will be alot. Someday we will meet again, and you will be beautiful, white, and healthy when that happens....and we will never be separated again, I promise. Until then "have faith" as Gram always says. I love you and miss you, and to me, you will never be completely gone, just on extended leave of absence.

Tammi Brown

Blade, my boy-boy...please forgive me for taking so long to find a place to honor you...to share your memory with those who really understand. Although more than 5 years have past since you left me, your loss is still felt deeply...when your heart stopped beating, I thought that mine would, too. Today, just as when you were here, other animals share in my life...but the bond that we had will never be broken. Remember the heeler pup that shadowed you everywhere? He still uses your favorite vantage spot to watch the farm...legs stretched out and crossed before him, just like you used to do. I always smile at this imitation. You and I went through so much together; and no matter what, when the dust had settled, you were always there. When I needed to smile, you played the clown. When I was sad, you would press against me, regal and poised, your quiet presence bringing such comfort. I am a "doby" girl, I say. Yet no other has entered my life since you. Would it be fair to compare a new and innocent doby smile to yours?? I think not. If the time ever comes, I will know that you have given that pup your blessing, and that your girl is ready for another. Until then, please know that the only sadness you ever caused me, was the day you left me behind. I love and miss you schmoezie face. Please wait for me at the bridge..your black-haired girl will come and get you someday.

Rebecca

Baby died on November 2 of 2000. She died because another animal had bit her under her chin and she didn't made it. I hope, wherever she is, she is having a good time.

Kristen Newton

Thank you, Baby, for the time you spent with me. You always gave me unconditional love when I needed it the most. The love I saw in your eyes made up for a lot of the things that go wrong in life, and I miss you so very much. But now your spirit is free and you are no longer suffering, and I'm thankful for that even though I no longer have you. Someday we will walk together over the Rainbow Bridge and I'll hold you in my arms again. Until then, you will always be a happy memory for me.

Lillian Garvin

Baby was (& is) my sparkler, my little dose of happiness in a sometimes confusing life....God rest you little one ...with the big marshmallow paws....I hope you're drinking your beloved water from crystal glasses.....Love, your mommy

Baby

I miss you with all my Heart
This illness was just to much for you
But now you are free from pain
May your spirit stay with me for ever
And our love never fade
I miss you more than I can say
I love you baby

Michaela Baldwin

My Baby died a horrible death at the hands of my vet. I am trying not to harbor negative feelings, but the emptiness is sometimes overwhelming. He was in liver failure from one dose of valium and the damage was extreme. Out of desperation, we tried everything to only lose him in the end. The guilt I feel for trusting my vet and not picking up on the signs of illness is extreme even though they say that he could not be saved at any stage, the guilt continues. I feel bitter and alone, trying to find comfort that he is looking down at me and feeling no pain and is very happy. I am writing this to help heal the gaping hole that exists in my heart. Thank you for reading this.
Victoria

Fly my little baby bird, I will see you on the rainbow bridge someday and you will be back on my shoulder again. I love and miss you with each passing day and the hurt will never go away. I still get a tear in my eye just thinking of you and wishing you were here with me singing to me and giving me kisses. There will never be another like you.

Kathe

To our beautiful shining star in Heaven, we love you and miss you Baby. I'm sorry.

Michelle Gagnier

We got little Baby free out of the newspaper, when we first saw him we could not help but fall in love with him. Baby had been born with a mouth infection and always had to be on medication, so life was not easy for Baby but we tried our best to make his life wonderful. He always loved attention, going for rides in our car, and just crawling up under a blanket for a cozy nap. He loved to come running to the kitchen when he heard that the microwave was on. We had to feed him soft food and warmed it up in the microwave so it would be warm and easy to digest for his little mouth. Baby always loved chicken or roast, and was known to have swiped some roast a time or two.

Poco who is Baby's big brother loved him very much too, although not at first but they grew to be very close to each other.

We will greatly miss our little boy and know that is he waiting for us in Heaven. He does not hurt anymore, will continue to live forever in Heaven and in our hearts. Take care precious boy, we will see you again one day.

Love always and forever Lynn, Kevin, and Poco.

Baby was the best pet I have ever had. She gave completely an totally all her love. When I was sick or worried she laid by my head with her paw on my face. She would come up to me and stand against my legs stretching her forearms up so I could pick her up. She loved to nurse on our ear lobes and would purr in our ears as she nursed. She was the sweetest, most loving cat I have ever known and my life was so blessed by her. I will always miss her.

Laura Webb

Baby's new address "Rainbow Bridge".......
Baby our white poodle went to "Rainbow Bridge" on February, 4th, 2000. Baby died sometime during the night in her sleep. We miss her, My husband misses Baby greeting him at the front door when he comes home from work, she greeted him for 7 years.
Baby was diagnosed with heart failure, although she was given medication she wasn't herself, she died almost 2 weeks after being diagnosed.
I know that she is at Rainbow Bridge. whole and well again. Baby is with my other "Sweetie Hearten's" that have passed on, I bet they are having the time of their lives.
When we feel the need to spend time with Baby we just walk to the edge of the forest where she is buried between to wonderful old cedar trees, with her special blanket. We miss our Companion, Friend and Door Greeter.

Dawn, Ray, Michael & Josh Larson

To my best friend who taught to become a better human being.

Brenda Johnson

My little Baby-girl gave my son years of happiness.
She is missed very much.

Betty Stallard

She was the best little girl I ever had. She was so sweet and innocent and we loved each other very much. She tried so hard to stay alive but just she just did not have the strength to do so, what a little soldier. I miss her so much still that I wish this was all a dream and I would wake up and she would be back with me. Baby, I just want you to know that your mommy loved you so much and always will...

Sue S.

My dogs name was baby a rottweiler he died of parvo at 6 weeks old he died in 1996 I had to put him to sleep because he was to young to fight the disease I tried to save him after many vet visits but the disease was to much for him to handle.
I loved him for the short time I had him he would greet me when I got home from work, he had a really great personality. As he lay there in the vets office waiting for me to make the decision as I was crying my heart out he lifted up his head and touched his nose with mine as if telling me it will be alright.
Well I know that he is in a better place probably the Rainbow Bridge

Elise

I miss you so much Baby. It took some time, but you got to be such a sweet, loving girl. I'm so grateful for the last few months that you were inside the house--we got to be good friends, didn't we? I sent you to be with Samantha, and Scout and all your other babies because I was afraid you were suffering here. Now you are free, sweet bunners. Thank you for helping me through the loss of Sam and Scoutie. And thank you for all the kisses. Thank you for trusting me to hold you and pet you and kiss you. I love you so and I always will. I found a little feather stuck in the door of your house the day you died. I believe it came from the wing of an angel who took you home. I pray I will see you again. Until that time I will miss you and remember all the love and comfort you gave. I love you. God bless you, Baby!

Kate McManus

Sarah

Our little Angel left us last Sunday October 1, 2000. Our hearts are so empty and lonely without our little one to love. Baby was the best little girl anyone could of had in their lives. I know she is in a better place, but it doesn't hurt any less. I know we will again be with her someday but I want my Baby back. Please pray for our little girl and us, as we are having a really hard time accepting our loss. God, please take care of our Baby Angel and let her know that we will always love her and never forget the happiness she brought into our lives. We love you, Baby. Mommy & Daddy

We will always love you and miss you with all our hearts, Bear. Brother Grunt also misses you very much. I can't wait to be reunited with you at the Rainbow Bridge, Bear.

Evelyn and Alton Robertson

Babyboy was 16 1/2 yrs old. He was my BEST Friend, He would answer back every time I spoke to him.
How many times over all those years did you come trotting up the sidewalk when you saw me Buddy? seems like a million!
You always were there sitting on my lap everytime I sat down. And when bedtime came, you were right there, on my chest, our noses about 1/2" apart and those two front paws folded in...and your constant purring....it seemed to never stop when we were together.....
We ate together, as you found my plate more appetizing than yours!! We went thru some difficult times in the early '90's with your tail, but together we overcame...

Bud, we had a VERY, VERY GOOD LIFE TOGETHER!! 16 1/2 years is alot longer than most cats get. I know am very content that I gave you everything that I could. You deserved it. You never once were scolded for doing wrong. You know that, you happy guy!

But you just got old, as we all do. You never got sick, but your body just wore out. Your little mind was there but your body just wore out. Those last days I am glad we were inseparable, and we were together at the very end.

I wish I could be comforted by someone, or anything, as all I seem to do now is cry. If there was a way to be with you now buddy I would not hesitate. I wish that the Rainbow Bridge is really, really TRUE. As I am putting ALOT OF FAITH in the hope that it is. I MISS YOU BUDDY!!!!

I don't know if I'll ever feel better. If you are not with me.....why should I....

I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER BABYBOY, YOU KNOW THAT'S TRUE! I'LL SEE YOU SOON. YOU ARE THE BEST!!! :&)

John Risvold

Dear Baby Bubbie Bear....So suddenly you were shisked out of our life.....Only three days of even knowing that something could be wrong....But you never even whimpered......Not one time....Even though the doctor thought you were in great pain. That was the way you were your whole life.....So full of exuberant life....So glad to see everyone......So happy you always were. What a blessing you have been in our lives. God blessed us richly with you.....Because when he gave us you....He gave us sheer joy! It was so very hard today letting you slip away.....But I saw in your eyes the longing to be let go....The knowing look that said it was ok. We let you drift off....Hearing your very last breath....It seemed to sound like a sigh of relief.....A sign that we had done the right thing....That that is what you wanted......We let you slip away because our love for you is genuine and we, due to this great love, placed you back in the sweet arms of God. We walked away empty.......You weren't there with us.........Leaving a hollow hole in our hearts. When we got home......I slowly walked to the deck.....The one you so enjoyed being on....And I just sat.....And a distant bird.....A small jenny wren began to sing her lovely song.....Like a tribute to your memory....The church bells began to chime.......And I had to smile.....Because if you could have spoken you would have selected such a day as this to be your last......One that was bright and sunny with the birds singing beautifully. As I sat there, I envisioned you in the white billowy clouds chasing after all those squirrels that so delighted you. Bear.....We have released you to chase the squirrels and the other small creatures that you were so intrigued with.....Romp the hills....And never forget our love for you. And we will never forget you.....Ever! Our love for you is everlasting. Continue being the wonderful dog that you are......And thank you for loving us unconditionally. May God protect you until we can be together again. We will see you in the skies......Love always and forever.....Kevin, Diane and Brian McMahon

Our sweet Babycat is waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. She is not alone. She is with Princess, Joey, Oliver, Fergie, and many other furbabies we have lost throughout the years. We are, and will always be sad over her loss, but we know she is in a safe, good place now.

Robin, Keith, and Jordan

Your real name was Cougar, but, I never called you that. YOU found me when you were only 3 weeks old, your Cat Mom had died, and you crawled out and up my pants to the safety of the inside of my jacket.
I bottle fed you, kept you clean, and weaned you myself. We had a great time together all these years. I will miss our morning hugs, your "mice" everywhere, you taking care of me when I was sick, you flopping on the bed at night to sleep in the crook of my arm ( and hollering at me when I didn't come to bed...). The "cat scanner" is empty now, I keep looking for you to jump up when I am working. I will put your ashes on the scanner, soon.
You helped me through my Daddy dying, a divorce, my Mom being sick, and uncountable small problems.
I moved a lot for a while, you put up with it. ( Although, you didn't like stairs, because you couldn't drop your bowl on my head when you were hungry. You would try, but, only get up a few steps.)
Your kidneys started failing a couple of years ago. I did everything I could to keep you longer. I was so afraid of losing you. Last month ( Dec. '99) I knew it was near the end. I did what I could to keep you just a little while longer....and then, I knew it was time. I owed you, for taking care of ME for so long. I didn't want you to suffer, or, be in pain. The vet thought it was time, too. We spent a couple of days being together (as much as you would let me, you were feeling pretty bad)I took pictures, video, to help me remember, years from now. I wasn't going to be in the room at first ( didn't think I could bear it), but, I read something at the Vets that made me go with her, to be with her for one last time:( from a Dog and Cat's prayer) "Take care of me when I grow old, you will grow old, too. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say "I can't bear to watch" or, "Let it happen in my absence" Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, I love you" and I love you too, BabyCat.

Ginger Reaves

Dollie was the love of my life. She was so much like a baby. we took her to all the dog shows for the best costume category and she always got her picture in the paper. She had arthritis and a skin disease that made the quality of her life very poor. We had to have her put to sleep and this about took the life from me. We miss her very badly everyday and will always hold her memories dear in our hearts.

Donna Zabodyn

Baby Girl, you were so special to me. Thank you for your loyalty, your trust, your companionship. I don't know how I would make it through the rough times without you being there to let me cry on you, to snuggle next me to when I needed to be touched. I miss you so much.

Becky

Baby Girl my loving companion of 16 years died 3:00am 060499. She was a petite beautiful gray kitty with a big heart. She walked beside me through both the good and bad times. She gave me unconditional love. A part of my heart has gone with her. I hope she knows how very very much I love her and will miss her desperately. Goodbye Baby Girl. I love you and I only wanted you not to suffer. You have been such a dedicated loving friend to me, I could not bear to watch you in any pain. I hope you know I held you and told you goodbye and there will always be an empty spot waiting to be filled again when we meet each other at the Rainbow Bridge. Mommy will see you there. Save a place for me. I love you dearly. You are my angel in a kitty suit. Love always. Your human companion.

My Babygirl I miss you so much. You were always there by my side in good times and in bad. You were my very best friend and always will be. I miss your kisses and hugs you always gave me. Somehow I thought you would never leave me. You gave so many people such happiness at the nursing home where you worked as a pet therapist and gave so much happiness to not only the residents but the employees as well. That's where you and I first met. In the neighborhood all the children would wait outside for you to go on your walks so they could pet you. And last of all Hobbes your step brother who layed by your side and licked you face clean when your eyes would tear. You were such a brave girl six years ago when the doctors said you had cancer and didn't think you would live. But you had the surgery and 13 weeks of chemo and lived a happy life even though it was uncomfortable at times. I miss you girl, but I know someday we'll be together again. Thank you so much for coming into my life and making me so happy.

Love always and forever,

Mommie

A Scottie dog So beautiful. She was the love of my life. I found her in a pet shop when she was six months old.She was the only white scotty and I had never seen one before. I picked her up and looked in her big brown eyes. She had the biggest ears and one drooped. I wasn't looking for a dog I was getting lunch to bring home to friends helping put in landscaping in the front yard. I don't know how I ended up at the pet shop. When I picked you up You licked my hand and I put you back in the cage your little heart would not let me go. I knew for sure you wanted to go home with me. I was never sorry for that baby. And that's what you were in my heart and always will be is my baby. You were a beautiful dog as white as an angel. My soccer dog who could make a goal better than any human ever could. The problem was that you would get so excited you would pop the darn ball in your teeth and then sit and look at me as if we needed to fix this right away.. I always had spare soccer balls hidden of course but you always found them and I miss hearing a pop in the night. Yes even when everyone was sleeping your urge for a midnight soccer match would not stop you even when you were sick. And also baby you were my sock woman. We only used white terry socks but when the socks came out you were a terror. But of course the sock would be ripped apart and I still have plenty of white socks. I taught you how to hop and when I was cooking you would always sit by my feet. you liked carrots,lettuce and green and red peppers. I always would see you hop up in the air and that meant I was to reward you with them. We loved you so much Baby and I was blessed to have had such a wonderful and loving animal for so many years. you where always there for me Baby and I owe you a lifetime of Thanks. I knew one day I would have to let you go. when you got sick you would lay in your bed and look at me. I took you to the vet and found that your heart had enlarged and you were very weak. I had to find that place in my heart that told me it was time to let you go. I wanted to keep that hidden as my selfish side said you would be ok. I took the day off from work to stay with you and walked for hours holding you wrapped in your blanket. We went from room to room and all of your favorite places in the yard. as we were doing that I talked to you and told you how much I loved you and explained how much fun we had had. Then I put you in the car and layed you on the seat wrapped in the blanket with your big white ears protruding out so silky and soft. We waited for the vet as I held you in my arms I wished it were me instead of you.I kissed you and kissed you on your ears. You thought I was taking you there to get well. If you had wanted to go home we would have left in a minute but I knew then that you were really sick for sure. The vet was a good friend of mine and I asked her over and over will it hurt her. It would have killed me a thousand times over to see her die in pain.I held her as the vet inserted the needle Baby went to sleep as softly as whisper. She was now on a journey and yes I believe that she is in heaven with my mother and father. love is forever. It has no conditions and when it is felt so deeply it can never be forgotten. So don't stop loving because you have lost. Love because its is the only thing that is Forever. I love you Baby and I know I will see you again. I have plenty of socks.....ART

You came to us completely out of the blue, like you fell right out of heaven. So, shy and soft and small. Small enough to fit in our hand. You adopted old Fluffy as Mom, and much to our dismay, she left us just about a month ago, and just after you started to grow used to her, and to us.

You were an innocent, alone, looking for warmth, protection, and love. Know that we tried our hardest to provide for you. To me, you were like God's blessing solace after Fluffy was gone. You were the window I thought was opened after a door had been closed.

Even though your life was short, and I know your last moments were horrifying, know we miss you so much and hope you are happy and safe. Your bird-like chirpy, squeaky little mews will stay with us. Don't consider yourself abandoned....you did have a home and family.

Melody, Manny, & Helen Pelayo

Baby Kitty, my special boy, how I miss you. You weren't even supposed to be my boy, but God knew the plans He had in mind for you and I and for that I am eternally grateful. Baby Kitty, you have been such an incredible friend and companion to me and I miss you so deeply. I thank God every day for the gift you were to me and I know that in His time we will be together again.
The pain is still here Little One, and each night when I get into bed and know you won't be hopping up and snuggling in to your spot by my side is so difficult. Though I've been crying for six months knowing I was going to lose you, I cry more still now that you are gone.
Thank you Little One, for the many times you sensed my pain and crawled on my lap and purred in comfort. Even in the last few days of your life in all your pain and sickness you still purred for me when I cried trying to say goodbye to you. You have given me the gift of unconditional love and I know that you are truly one of God's special creatures for that.
You gave me a lot of joy Baby Kitty, with your antics and silly self. You with the fangs hanging out, the terror of Florida St. Apt. 7, had so much love inside of you. I miss you so much. I will never forget you Little One. You will always have a place in my heart, and one day in God's time we will be together again.

I miss you and love you very deeply Baby Kitty.

Baby was a true dog hero - she came to us with her mother Bridgette. Baby lived a quiet but satisfying life, barking at the boys dogs, especially Buster. She got a true boyfriend late in life when Bennie came to live here. Last Feb., she suffered a broken leg and we learned she had cancer. She was enrolled in a clinical trial and got an amputation and chemo. It took her a week, but she learned to hop around as good as before - even better. She was like a puppy. She also learned special tricks like flipping her front paw when she wanted attention - or whopping (not a bark, but a whoop). We found that the cancer had spread and additional chemo would do not good. She had trouble walking the past 2 weeks, she even went to see a human chiropractor last Sat. She was outside last night and greeted me when I came home - she ate a good dinner and has tortilla snacks with me. This morning she seemed distressed and just quickly passed away.

These last two months since her amputation have been well worth it - she had joy and fun and love and she is truly my hero.

Linda

Beloved BabyNorton, you have made the last 17 years sweet and precious just like you, I'll always love you, loopy.

Thanks

Annie DeMartino

I just want say that "Sissy" was and is truly loved and missed by me and her companion Midge. Midge and I are grieving over having to lose her over this sudden illness. She is in our thoughts and prayers, and will always fill our hearts with the happy memories of her unforgettable personality, and how much she touched us with her unconditional love. We love you Sissy. There will never be another "Baby Sister" .......

Cyd Boulmetis

I had her for a week after saving her from the cat. Just long enough to grow attached to her. I have cried since she passed yesterday. She trusted me to help her and I failed.

Beth Riddle

This is in memory of a very special dog who has been a part of our family for almost 12 years. I will never forget how special he is and how much he touched our family's heart. He is missed so very much.

Kristi Pitchford

I love you sooooooooooooooooo much. I will BE WITH YOU Agen till then you will not (EVEN FOR A SECOND)BE OUT OF MY HEAD. Your memory lives on

- PAIGE

Our sweet black teddy bear passed away. He was in the hospital as his kidneys were failing; we found out he had diabetes, and his blood counts were horrible BUN and creatinine, and liver problems. We just saw that he was sick and not himself on Tuesday night. We had no idea he was ill at all until we saw him urinate outside of his box, and were concerned. We took him to the vet, who said he was a very sick boy, but that he was treatable. I didn't want to put him to sleep without giving him a chance; we tried everything - epogen, appetite stimulant, oxyglobin - nothing worked. The vet said he was too weak, and that his organs were too damaged. His body just gave out. I wish we would have been with him. I feel so bad. He just drifted off to the Rainbow Bridge.

I love him and miss him so much. His brother (Mecki), sister (Pinky) and Mom (Schoene - means beautiful in German) seem to know he's not coming back, especially Mecki, because they used to cuddle together.

I loved him so. Goodbye, Teddy Boy. I'll always love you!!

Doris A. Nerding

My bestest buddy died Monday night August 28, 2000.

It was an ordinary Monday, nothing special, just the same old routine. Every morning when I got up there was a head there waiting for me just to say "Good Morning". This morning was different in that there was no head waiting for me. I didn't think much of it and went on with the daily routine of every morning. When I got out of the shower and he wasn't there that struck me as really odd. I went looking for him and found him lying in the back yard. He looked at me with those big brown eyes and I knew something was wrong. When he came over with his stump wagging, and said "Good Morning" I felt better. As soon as the vets office opened I called to get him an appointment. They told me bring him right up. We got in the car and drove up to the vets. I went in expecting to be told that everything would be alright, he just needs some meds. What I heard the vet say made my head spin. What he said was "I think this dog has Lymphoma!" As he talked, I heard Chemo and don't get worried yet we need blood work. His parting words to me were call at 3 pm and we will have more information. I handed over my buddy, said C-ya later and walked out. At 3 I called. The vet was busy so they said he would call me back. As the minutes ticked by and a few minutes turned into an hour I waited. Finally he called, he told me that the preliminary blood work had come back and there was some liver involvement and he was anemic, that his original diagnosis was more than likely correct. That my boy was very sick and very depressed. He thought the best course of action was to keep him overnight with an IV give him some meds and let him come home in the morning. I agreed reluctantly and that was that. This would be the first time since we moved into the house that I would go home and he wouldn't be there. I kept telling myself it is only for one night, I can handle it. I left work and started my journey home to open a door without him waiting there for me. When I got home there was a message from the vet on the machine. It simply said to call. I called and was told that the vet wanted to talk to me. As I waited for him to get on the phone, all kinds of things crossed my mind, everything from he is completely better to I was wrong it isn't cancer. When he got on the phone after what seemed like an eternity, but in reality was less than a minute, what I heard him saying was nothing that had crossed my mind. What I heard was "You have a very sick dog, he will probably not survive the nite." How can a dog that was walking and sniffing and greeting all the dogs in the waiting room, trying to play with them, making sure that he smelled every scent in the place in the morning now have only 12 to 18 hours to live. When I could finally speak all I could say was "can I see him?" The vet said to come up and tell the tech to let me go back to see him because he couldn't be moved. All the way to the vets, I knew the vet was wrong, there is no way that in 12 hours this could happen. I got to the vets and they took me back to see him. What I saw was a shock to my soul. He looked like my buddy but there was something missing. There was no recognition. No stump wagging, no ears, nothing, He didn't move. It was as if I wasn't there. The vet on duty told me he was probably blind because his eyes were bleeding. I reached out to my buddy and touched him. He didn't move, didn't blink. As I held him, I stroked his body. His reaction was to flinch. All I could think was he must hurt for him to react like that. At that point there was only one question. A question that I knew the answer to but needed someone to validate it. The question was "He isn't going to get better is he?" The vet shook his head. I knew what I had to do, but I couldn't bring myself to say it. I closed the cage and walked away. I had to get away for a minute. I couldn't grasp that in 12 hours I had lost my bestest buddy. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think he wouldn't ever be coming home. How could this have happened? I would never see him at the door again. While I was standing there, wondering where in the world this nightmare had come from, the vet walked up and with all the strength I could muster I said "put him down." He looked at me and said that is the best for him. All the good intentions in the world do not make the words "best for him" feel any better. I know it was right, I know it was what I had to do, but it felt like a hole had been ripped open in me. I sat with him, just stroking him, not knowing if he knew I was there or not. It all went by in a blur. I was signing papers and being told all kinds of things. All I could think was "buddy what happened". The vet came in, in his hand was a syringe. He put the needle into the IV and slowly injected this pink fluid. I held him, stroking his head, hoping that he could hear me. All I could say was "buddy it will be better now." He stopped breathing and it was over. It was very peaceful, very quiet, very dignified. My bestest buddy was gone. He was a month short of his 7th birthday. He was many years short of his full life. The rest of the events are a blur. I came home to a house knowing that my buddy would never return. Half of me was gone. I couldn't open the frig. I couldn't bear to put his stuff away. I brought his collar and leash home with me and couldn't bear to put it down. As I sat there in total unbelief, nothing could patch the hole that had been ripped in my heart. How could he be gone? What did I do wrong? How could God have taken him from me so soon? Was I being punished and if so how come he had to suffer? There is no way he could have done anything. I looked back on all the things I should have done with him. Why didn't I take more pictures of him? Why didn't I force him to eat the better food instead of letting him eat the food he liked? I spent the nite on his bed with his collar and leash, not knowing what else to do. I could smell him on his bed. As I lay there, I could hear him walking around the house. How could I hear him, was I imagining it because I wanted him home? Wishing beyond all hope that it was all just a bad nightmare. The night passed, as it always does, I got up and went thru the morning ritual, expecting to see him at any minute. As I worked that next day, it was all just going thru the motions. The only thing on my mind was, I will wake up soon and laugh about it because this can't be real. I never did wake up, it was as real as real can be. There is now and will always be a hole in my heart that my bestest buddy use to fill. I have finally gotten to understand it is "best for him" as much as that doesn't fix things. I had to make his hurting stop. I had to let him go when I did, not to would have been cruel and that is not something I can bear. I found out about the Rainbow Bridge tonight and God willing that is where my buddy is. Free of pain and running with the wind. Living the life that was taken from him. There will be a new buddy, who will have his own place in my heart but the hole that was left will always be there.

To my bestest buddy,
Please be happy where you are. I miss you but understand that it was your time to go. Forgive me. I love you.

Bagheera Sept 25, 1993 - Aug 28, 2000

Bailee passed over the Rainbow Bridge very suddenly today. She was very much loved by her parents, Steve and Sue, her older human brother Michael and her younger canine brother Cody. She was gentle and loving, well behaved and kind. She will be very much missed but always remembered in our hearts.

Steve and Sue Kulick

Bailee has left his Mommy (me) and his family on Saturday. We hope and pray that there is a heaven for him and he is resting peacefully. He is my very best friend and I hope he is happy. Please pray for his happiness and peace and please let him know how very much I miss him. Everyday is harder and not easier without him and I hope one day I too can find peace. Pray that he will know I love him so very much and miss him terribly.

My 16 year old diabetic household pet, Bailey has finally lost her battle and has gone to the other side.

Bailey was my first show cat. If it wasn't for her, I would never have gotten into show Maine Coon Cats. She got her very first final at an ACFA show back in 1985. That was it -- I was hooked.

Because of Bailey, I was able to go to shows and meet Maine Coon breeders and when Bailey was about two, I introduced Darby, my first Maine Coon to the household. Bailey and he became the best of friends. Bailey also accepted all of the cats that have come in and out of this cattery. They all went to her for grooming and mothering and she took her job quite seriously.

When she was nine she was diagnosed with diabetes. I am very proud of the fact that she lived for seven pretty healthy years comfortably with it. Age finally caught up with Bailey these last few months. She became hyperthyroid and could not tolerate the medication for it. I opted for surgery. Unfortunately, her recovery was very slow. I did begin to notice some real improvement the day before she left me. She ate a whole 3 oz. can of cat food on her own. She was very mobile. She sat on my lap for a good half hour just for pets and rubs and she purred the entire time. She has been very weak however since the surgery and the next morning I had to force feed her again (as I have been doing a lot since her surgery, although she did not fight me to do this). When I came home from work she was lethargic and extremely cold to the touch. I rushed her to my vets. Her bg reading was 55. Blood was drawn for a CBC and my vet was amazed that she was even alive with the readings that she had. Her red blood count was less than 1. Her kidney functions were elevated. Her lymphocytes were high and I can't remember what the white blood count showed. My vet felt that she had one of three things: lymphoma, a broken spleen from a possible fall or internal bleeding. He pretty much ruled out internal bleeding upon examination. It was obvious, though that there were no alternatives for Bailey and it was time to say goodbye.

Unfortunately, because she had no blood, it was nearly impossible to give her an injection painlessly. My vet took Bailey and me back to the surgery area. He gave Bailey gas and tried unsuccessfully to give her an injection. He ended up having to overdose her with anesthetics in the chest cavity. It took a good 15 minutes for it to all be over. Bailey was a fighter, even 'til the end.

I'm sorry this is so long, but I needed to share. I whispered goodbye to Bailey. I told her to go and be with Darby now and I would see them both on the other side.

Life here won't be the same without Bailey, the matriarch. I loved her so much. I know she is now pain free and diabetes free and in that I can take comfort.

Thanks for listening.

JoAnn

Bailey,
even though you are not here with us. We know you are still here. We all love you very much, and we will never forget you. You will always be our little baby who found his Christmas presents on his own underneath the tree. The little baby that followed us everywhere. who's little brown eyes lit up at dinner time. You will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace bailey.
We will always love you.

Erin, Herma, Dennis, Dylan & David Heyza

Bailey, Mommy and Daddy love you so much, as do Tucker, Willow and Daisy. Daisy especially misses you very much. You were so special to all of us, and we are trying to go on without out you. But we know that you are in a wonderful place, along with Murphy, Fluff, and Lilly. I can still feel you with me, too, and I know that I always will. I hope there is a cozy bed for you to sleep on in heaven, with rays of sun shining on your face as you rest. I know I will see you again someday. Until then, you will always be in my heart. We love you so... Mommy

This TRIBUTE is for Bailey - "the best doggie in the world" for us. Bailey was the most devoted dog we ever had coming to us when he was just six months old. He trusted that we would be there for him and just had to always be close, no matter what. He hardly ever barked and was so mild and mellow and just a happy dog. That was part of what made everyone love him so much, especially us. It was a sad day when he was diagnosed with cancer and was given six months to live. But, Bailey was a fighter with all his other health challenges and then the new one, and outlasted the cancer prognosis of six months by almost two years. There were a lot of times when he could have given in but didn't. Finally, the most difficult decision had to be made for Bailey to meet his Maker. Our vet was so compassionate and when the time came, I think Bailey knew too what was going to be next, but now I believe he will be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for us. That indeed will be a joyful reunion!!!

Barb & Gary Morgenroth

She was the light of our lives. The most special pet I have ever had the privilege to live with. We were better people because of her.

Bailey was my best friend and companion for 16 years. She had so much energy and excitement about everything. She loved to go wind surfing with her ears flying in the wind. She'd jump in the lake and chase fish all day. She loved the water. She was the kindest most gentle and friendly dog anyone could ask for. She was with me through the good times and the bad. When I was sad, she'd put her head on my lap to let me know she was there for me. She'd greet me at the door when I had a tough day at work and let me know she was so happy to see me. I miss her so much, but I couldn't see her suffering. She's in a better place now where she could run and jump and chase fish all day.

Chris

I got Bailey from the animal shelter on Jan. 10, 1997. She was the most loyal and comforting friend I've ever had. At the time I got her, I thought she needed me, but in reality, we needed each other. I can not express in words how much Bailey meant to me, or how much I hurt at her passing. But I'll tell you one thing, God has himself one great friend right now. I truly believe she is at the Rainbow Bridge right now and that one day we will be reunited never to be separated again.

Our dear sweet Bailey although your were only with us a short time, we loved you so much. You will live on forever in our memories and in our hearts. And one day soon we will be together again. Remember that Mommy and Daddy love you and always will.

Oh Bailey, my heart is broken. Who ever knew that one little creature could bring so much to a person. Your ways, your 'smile', that tail forever on the move. You always knew what was going on. I can still fell you near me and see you close by. I will always feel that. What I treasure is the nearly three years I had with you, that NO-ONE else did. You loved us unconditionally and we you. I pray to God and believe that you didn't suffer; our world is a very sad place without you. You were the best company - never complaining, just happy to be loved. It only takes a split second for a precious life to be taken. In time this huge hole in my heart will mend although now it doesn't seem possible. We will plant a special tree in the garden just for you and never forget the love and joy you brought us. For now my tears are for you and those special days we cared. I LOVE YOU 'B' AND ALWAYS WILL. YOU WILL BE MISSED TERRIBLY.

Our beloved beagle Bailey came into this world on July 20, 1985 and left it peacefully on June 17, 2000. He was a gentle soul and will be forever in our hearts. We will miss him deeply.

In Memory of Bailey

I never really wanted three dogs
Two was quite enough
But then sweet Bailey crossed my path
And my heart was filled with love

He'd had a rough beginning
And was constantly timid and scared
But with time he came to trust again
And his broken heart repaired

He had so much love to give
He lived for his next hug
Katie & Emmitt were his best friends
And he loved just being loved

Bailey held a special place
In my heart of hearts
A dog that had been so very hurt
But had come so very far

Each night that I laid down in bed
Bailey was right by my side
He'd have me hold his paws till he fell asleep
And then he'd be alright

He loved to play with the other dogs
But now he is at rest
And how we'll manage without him here
Is really anybody's guess

I'll miss his black nose and ears
With his white paws and belly
And him laying in his favorite spot
And even when he'd roll in something smelly

I'll miss his excited bark
When I'd come home to see them
In his eyes I could do no wrong
And that is quite a feeling

He loved to go for rides
Out the window he'd hang his head
And feeding him scraps under the table
Was a bad habit I'll never regret

He'd lick my tears when I would cry
Closer than any trusted friend
And he loved me unconditionally
Right up until the end

So now our family is a little smaller
Although our hearts have grown
Because of this dog that loved us so much
And just wanted a home of his own

No words can truly express
The loss I feel inside
For such a sweet & innocent soul
A million tears are left to cry

I hope Bailey knew how much we loved him
And how we didn't want him to leave
But we know he had to travel on
Yet our hearts are left to grieve

There's an empty spot on the couch now
Where he always used to lay
And the other dogs haven't been hungry
And neither want to play

We will miss you Bailey
In so very many ways
You were such a special boy
And nothing will be quite the same

I know he is in Heaven now
A home far better than this
And if anyone can love him as much as we did
His name would be Jesus

So this I pray dear Lord
Heal his wounds and scars
Make him whole and healthy again
And keep him in your arms

Tell him that I love him
And Katie & Emmitt love him too
And remind him that we miss him
I put my trust in You

And one more thing I pray
Please keep my faithful friend
In your loving, caring home
Until we can all be a family again.


All of our love,
Mom, Katie & Emmitt
& Julie

Bailey,

To my sweet bay bay Your mommy, daddy, and brother Casey miss you so much. You were taken from us so quickly. We will never forget all that you brought into our lives, all the love you gave to us. We will always remember your big brown eyes, and how you hung on every word, you listened when no ne else did and your unconditional love will always be remembered. Thanks for all the memories. You will live on always in our hearts.

Love you always, Mommy, Daddy, and Casey

Bails,
You will always be my "little buggy". Bailey, throughout your life you took a lot from your brother, Oliver and sister, Mushy. You had the patience of a Saint, a heart of gold, and a belly full of love.

The memories of your greetings when anyone came into our home will always remind me of how friendly and loving you were. Bailey you were and always will be mommy's sweetest boy, my "Mr. Wonderful", my "Gentle Giant", my "Little Bugaboo". I miss our bathroom talks, your little cries when I try to kiss your nose or rub your belly, and your big beautiful eyes looking at me.

You're with your brother Oliver once more, so I'll say it once more, "boys" behave yourselves! Also, mommy wants you to know that I hear Mushy talk to you every day, she really misses you, and you were her best friend.

We love you Bails and remember you are in our hearts always.
Mommy and Mushy

Bailey was the best friend I ever had. She was loyal until the end and never cried for help while she was ill. In fact, we never knew about her cancer until the day she died. She loved tennis balls, was my running partner for years, played with my children and snuggled with me on the couch just so I could pet her.
She will be SO sorely missed and my heart is broken. I loved her with all my heart and I know she knew it.
Travel safely, Bailey, and know that I will NEVER forget all the special times we shared these 11 1/2 years together. You were the sweetest one, the biggest one, and I love you.
Mommy

Bailey...you will forever be our beloved 'child'. We miss you so much. You were the best dog and mom's best friend. Your passing has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled. We know that the angels have taken you up to Rainbow bridge and that you will no longer have to fight the cancer. We will always hold your precious spirit close. You can play with Bear and Bobo now. We will always love you, Bails. Be happy and we will met up again at the bridge.

Mom, Dad, Erin, Kellen and Ryan

The best girl a family could ever hope for. We'll see you in Heaven and we'll never stop loving you!

Kim Mullen and Nick

Well today makes 3 months since our beautiful walker hound Bailey left us suddenly. I have visited this site many times in the past 3 months but was too devastated too participate much but I decided today was going to be different. I just don't know where to start Bailey was only 6 years old when she left and it was so unexpected that we are still in such a state of shock. How does a seemingly healthy dog just not wake up one morning? We got Bailey when she was about 5 months old and know one else seemed to want her. We were her 5th home in that short time. We were not even looking to get another dog at that point. We already had a 9 year old beagle called Bandit. My husband knew the man at work that had Bailey and he fell in love with her the minute he saw her. I took more convincing but finally I went to see her and you can guess the rest. She came home with us that day. It wasn't that I didn't want her I just thought one dog was enough. Boy was I wrong. At the time we got Bailey Bandit was not doing well and we thought we were going to lose him{ I am sure this is why my husband insisted on getting another dog. He thought it would help me with losing Bandit.} Well for some reason getting Bailey helped Bandit as much as it helped us. Before we knew it he was up playing with her and he even started to go out running again. Little did we know that a short 6 years later she would be gone and we would still have Bandit. He is know 15. Bailey was a good puppy that turned out to be a wonderful dog. I don't know why all the other people that had her couldn't see that/ She was a dog of many contradictions She was big yet so gentle. reserved yet so loving smart yet so silly at times. She was a guilt and non complaining . Even though many people told us time and again that she was meant for hunting and wouldn't make a good pet she proved them all wrong. She was the best behaved dog in the house and the best pet a person could ask for. We took her out running everyday and this was all she asked of us. The day before she died it was business as usual. My husband took her out as usual and she took off running. As sometimes would happen she took off on a scent. She was gone for a while but turned up at home a while later. I checked her over good , she seemed fine so I fed her and gave water like usual. When I went to bed she came with me as she always did. I felt her getting off the bed sometime in the early morning hours but paid no attention because she often did this. She usual just went and got a drink or went to one of her favorite spots to stretch out. When I got up a couple of hours later I was surprised that she hadn't returned to the bed. I called and when she didn't come I went looking for her. I fund her in the first place I looked in the spare room stretched out behind the chair a favorite spot of hers to lay. I thought she was sleeping until I called her name and she didn't respond. Instantly I knew . I don't think I ever cried so hard in my life and then I just held her asking why. Bailey was my rock I depended on her for so much. She helped me in so many ways overcome so many things. I took care of my ailing mother in my home for 5 years/ It was very hard for me mentally, emotionally and physically. When things would get to much for me I would take Bailey and we would head out over the fields together. I always felt better by the time we got back and could face the rest of the day. When my mother past away in Sept. it was Bailey who helped me deal with my grief. Who knew that just 8 weeks later I would be grieving for her too. I think someday that the guilt I feel will never go away. I spend hours second guessing myself. There must have been something I missed when I checked Bailey that night. I wonder if I should have taken her to the vets even though she seemed fine to me . Maybe they could have spotted a problem I couldn't see. I spend countless hours with what ifs What if I had done this or what if I hadn't done this. I just feel that it is my fault and I know my husband blames himself. He feels that if he hadn't let her run that night she would still be here with us. I am so sorry that this post turned out to be so long but once I got started I couldn't seem to stop. I want to thank all of you who read this and especially the gentleman who started this site.

Bailey I just hope you know how much you are loved and missed. Never a day goes by that we don't think of you and wish you were still here. There isn't anything we wouldn't do to make that happen. Thank you for your love loyalty and devotion. Just know that you will always hold a special place in our hearts now and forever. You cannot be replaced ever Until we meet again

love Mom and Dad

Mr. Bale, my little sweet. My best friend, my soul-mate doggie and my child. I prayed for you in a time of need and you came. Thanks for recognizing me. I do believe we were soul-mates and God sent you to me. I am so grateful for the experience we had together. I loved you deeply. 8 1/2 years just was not enough though but I'm not angry. It's o.k. I know your little body just could no longer handle the medication we had to give you to control your seizures. I am so sorry. We tried so hard. I think I was lucky to have you as long as I did. Thanks for enduring so much just to be with me. A piece of me went with you when you left me and I will always miss you until we can meet again. I'm so so sorry I was not with you at the time your little heart stopped beating. I didn't know you were going to die suddenly. I was very afraid. I was going to come back to the hospital the next morning. I wish I was there, baby. I said good-bye to you though and now I know why. I wish I would have done more to save you. Did I get you help in time? I waited one day because I thought you just had a virus. I feel I let you down but I hope I didn't. Many, many people cried when they heard you died. Many people saw the dog that was loving, pure, innocent, intelligent & wise beyond his species. You were the most important thing in my life, Bale. Please know how much I love you and how incredibly much you gave me. I will miss everything about you. You, your love, your companionship, your tenderness, your gentleness, your energy, your silliness, your innocence, that "look", your boldness, your sweet licks, your bark, your love for playing ball, the way you slept, the way you communicated to me and even the way you showed your masculinity when your hormones got the best of you. :) I'll miss waking up with you with hugs and falling asleep with you on my chest. Mr. Bale, Bales, Mr. Licks, my little boy, Poopie-Guru-the King of Poop, Bales of Hay, Pinwheel, my little sweet & Honeybunzie. I did not wish to lose you so soon. My heart will be broken for a long, long time. May you enjoy yourself up there with Daddy. Please wait for me, baby. I will be overjoyed whenever I see you again.

Love,  
Nancy

My Dear Friend Bailey!

You were a cat in a million! Everyone commented that you were different from other cats. You enjoyed socializing and getting fuss from everyone and "talked" to me big time! I'm really going to miss waking up with your weight on me and cuddling up watching tv with you on my chest.

Why oh why was the driver of that car speeding that day.
Why oh why were you trying to cross the street?

Your sister misses you as much as I do. She has not left
my side since you passed on on Tuesday.

Who will pull the towels from the rails and sleep on them now?
Who will bring me "gifts" of dead mice and birds like you did?

Bailey, I know I should say more than I'm saying here now
but words fail me. All I can say is that I miss you already.

No cat will EVER replace you in my heart.

I love and miss you Bailey and I know we'll meet again
some day in Heaven!


Amanda Twigg

I will never forget you, Buddy! You enabled me to know people can bring out the best in us & not be afraid to be yourself.
I couldn't have asked for a better friend.

Vicki Kniss

You were my loyal friend and your loss is enormous. I will see you again at the bridge.

Love mom.

You answered to many names, Ritalin-Boy, but you loved us no matter who called you what. We have a new sheltie girl that keeps your place by my bed and your brother in line, but nothing can ever take your place in my heart. You were an ADD dog for an ADD girl. I had hoped you'd be with us until you passed away from old age, but alas, it was not meant to be....

Please watch over Keely, keep her safe, and hopefully we'll meet again someday.

Rhonda

Beloved friend by everyone whom he knocked over while licking their face or whipped with his tail or pulled through a snow drift. Our hearts are broken never to be put completely back together again. We love you hose dog.

Jerry, Brenda, Tara & Tammy

Sometimes life seems so unfair. You were a physical beauty with your whole life ahead. To develop epilepsy at such a young age robbed you of much joy. You are now at peace and I hope to see you happy pants again.

Andy Bass

I can't imagine my life without Baku. He was my first dog and a dream come true. All my life I dreamed of having a dog and finally I was able to get one when I was in my early 20's. Baku was the gentlest, kindest, most loving dog that ever existed. He could look at you directly in the eyes with a warmth that was unparalleled. He was always healthy until recently. He had an incredible spirit and helped me through many a hard day. The only thing that brings me comfort is reading the Rainbow Bridge and hoping with all my heart that he'll be there waiting for me. In the meantime, I can only hope to live my life by the values he held. Love everyone. Don't judge anyone. Be kind. Be gracious. Be graceful. Play. Sleep. Love. Never give up.

Betty Welch

Baltazar even if I was only your pet sitter you were one of the special ones. What about the time you were up on the chair and I couldn't find you. I know you were sitting up there laughing at me saying silly person Siamese's like to sit up high even if I'm old and have arthritis. Or all the other times when I would walk in the door and you would talk to me about your day. Thank you for all the joy you brought to my life. All your humans that you left will miss you but we all will have such wonderful memories I can't thank you enough for being part of our lives.
Forever your lap slave Marion Auntie "M" Pet Sitting

I know that you are in heaven and God is taking care of you now, you were a gentle and loving baby to me and you will always be in my heart...FOREVER.

My dearest BAM BAM you where taken so suddenly I didn't even get a chance to say good bye I still haven't been able to accept the fact that I wont ever hear you purr or steal food from my plate again. In your honor as well as brandys'me and your mommy have 11 animals all healthy loved and cared for we do this as a tribute to you two. When the nights get long and I cant sleep my mind drifts to the days before you had top go away and my dreams of us being together again

Scott Pisciotta

Bambi ("B") was my baby for 15 years. I got him when I was 11 and helped him go to the Rainbow Bridge when I was 26. He took care of me and saw me through all of my growing up. He waited until I got married before he left for the Bridge because he wanted to be sure that I would be taken care of. He became sick with an immune disorder so suddenly and we prayed that he would recover. At first it seemed that he would but he was a tired boy and didn't want to be in the hospital anymore. He was quiet all during his treatment but one night was heard crying in his cage - he was trying to decide if he should stay with us or go to the Bridge. He made his choice and let us know and then my baby held on strong so we could arrange to bring him home. He gathered his strength to breathe without oxygen and to say goodbye to me, my husband and my mother - my bravest boy. He looked right into each of our eyes with nothing but the utmost love and trust. We dressed him in his "tough guy" shirt - the one he'd had his whole life and the one his dad wore before him. We brought him home and sat in the warm sunshine for an hour with him. He watched bees buzz around and children walk by. Then we went inside and I held him in his special chair. Then we went to my old bedroom and got into the bed we both grew up in - I cuddled him the way I always do when we nap and sleep together (our favorite thing). Then his special vet climbed in bed with us and gave him the help he needed to go on his journey. I stroked his head and told him I loved him and asked if he saw the green grass and hills of Rainbow Bridge. Dr. Ervin asked if he smelled all the new fragrant smells. I think he started off walking but ran faster and faster as his body became young and healthy again. He nodded his head ever so slightly and gently when he was completely on the other side. It was peaceful, beautiful and perfect. We know he is in a wonderful place with old and new friends where he can run and jump without arthritis and eat whatever he wants without worrying about his teeth, his tummy or his heart. There's no more medicine or needles and he happily watches us and waits for us. He is the cutest, fuzziest, smartest, and most special puppy in the world - I thank him for loving me unconditionally and teaching me so many things. I will always cherish him in my heart and anxiously await the day we are reunited. B, you are the goodest boy and bestest friend. Eat T-bones and french fries and everything else you love. If you get too hot, ask an angel to take off your shirt for you. We will see you as soon as we can. We love you! I love you! Sandy, Daddy and Mama

Dear Bambi Our sweet beloved.
You were so sweet the way you would take care of our horse Choco, and the way you would nicker as my mom came out with carrots and apples in the morning along as a chorus with the other horses. Your color of Mahogany was shimmery and enlightening. You were the sweetest horse I knew. I can still remember the time I won first prize blue ribbon on you in the E. T. I. walk/trot class and the way you smoothly galloped with me safely on your back. After my event we took a picture with me on your back and the ribbon on your halter and I can still remember the way you took off as it came closer to your eye and I was afraid to get back on you thinking that you might have done it again but at that time I did not know the loving, caring, sweet horse you were. You Bambi are in our hearts and souls forever and ever until the day we meet you in your wonderful peaceful place you are in now. We love you.
Love,
Jack, Chris, Sam and Dana Butler

Bambi you was such a smart and good dog . We grew up together. And miss you sooo! Amy

When we first saw Bambi, she was in a cage at our local A.S.P.C.A., with two little puppies. Her name was Kimba, but we decided to change her name because of her big, sad, brown eyes. There were many applications submitted for her puppies, but none for her. We decided to adopt her. She was two years old. That was in 1987. Bambi passed away tonight (6-5-00) and even tho' we knew she ill, we all took it very hard. Bambi was terrified of thunder, so every time we have a storm I sure we will all remember the silly way she panted when she was scared (her tongue, which had a chip in it, would go up and touch her nose). Bambi, you will always will remain in our hearts. We'll miss you.

Fran, Cyndee and Rich Cordek

Bambi was a very sweet, gentle dog who loved everyone. She never growled or snapped. She was very meek, but never fearful of anyone. She was very trusting and friendly. She gave much pleasure and love to her family and friends. Nursing home residents looked forward to her visits, and loved her so much. She slept in our bed each night, and was my constant companion, never wanting me to be out of her sight. I guess you could say she was almost perfect. I know that animals have to go to heaven, because there is no way God would not want such a sweet, loving creature not to live on! Bambi, I will always love my sweet, precious baby.

Betty Sutton

Boozle was a good kitty. She was with me when I was a very young adult, and she saw me go through many changes. I will miss her and my family will miss her very much.

For my baby Cockatiels - Banana - Kutsi - Coco

Where did my babies go? Who took them away? Why you and not me? I promised you that I would take care of you and now I let you down. I couldn't make this go away for you so please forgive me. Forgive me because I can't forgive those who took you away from me; all three of you at the same time. Taking your last breath in my hands and looking at me with your big eyes asking me to help you.

I am sorry. I am so sorry I let you down. I didn't know.

Please, fly, fly away just like you flied in the house. Keep on singing just like you did when you woke me up in the morning. Keep on playing in your swing and open up your wings to stretch.

Please fly over to me one more time. Why God, why?

They didn't hurt anyone for them to die such a horrible death.

They were there for me; they made me smile at the worst moments of my life; they were my family and now they are gone. They are gone and I don't know how to lessen the pain.

It was just the other day that I bought them toys. It was just the other day that I gave them a bath. It was just the other day that I cut their little nails. Something told me not to clip your wings. You looked so beautiful that day. You had grown so much all three of you and I stopped for a moment to admire you.

Why can't I see you now? Why can't I touch you now? Why can't I hear you now?

I bought you that special night-light so that you are not scared at night. So that you can see me sleeping next to you and make your fears go away.

Why didn't you scream for me to save you? Why didn't you call me just like you always do when you need something? I can't stop imagining that poison going inside your little bodies and taking your strength away little by little.

Please forgive me for letting you down. I will never stop loving you.

Your mommy

PS

My babies died because of the toxic smells emitted from non stick cookware.

Bandi was a sweet, precious chocolate brown cocker spaniel. She brought joy to her mother (my mom) and became my baby when my mom died. She helped me find a reason to live and love.

It took me quite a while to unfatten her (my mom fed her way too much). I know she's with my mom getting fat again, but in heaven, who cares.

Bandi, I'll love you and miss you all the rest of my life. Look in on me occasionally and send me your love.

Love,
Sue

Bandit is a special part of our Family. He has always been there to greet, comfort, protect, amuse, and even "talk" to us in his own special way. He loved walks on the beach, ice cream, going for rides in the car. We always included him in family birthdays and holidays. At Christmas he had his own stocking and received lots of presents and treats from other family members. He recently became ill and passed away Thanksgiving Day @ 12:35 am-It was also my Mom's birthday.
We hope he knows how much we love and miss him. We hope we are reunited with him someday, and never separated again.

Betsy Green

Bandit became totally blind three years before his death. He was very tiny. When he was a puppy he could fit inside a tea cup. He taught me what it meant to be blind. He would bounce off something and go another direction. He loved to be held and he knew his Mommy loved him. My Buddy he became.

Lisa Kane

Bandit was completely paralyzed for one year before he died on 11/12/00. He was the type of dog who never gave up and always kept up a good fight -- even until the end when his heart just gave out. We will miss him very much, but now he is romping in heaven with his good buddy, snuggles. Have fun until I join both of you.

Sandy Hatzer

Only a week since you had to leave us and the sting is still so painful. Though we knew you were sick for a number of months, the haste in which you were taken from us, numbs us.

Bandit was truly a gentle soul. He was just happy to be warm, to be fed and to be nuzzled. He was gift in more than the traditional way. And though our time together was brief, we comfort ourselves in knowing his last few years were spent with a human family that loved him and appreciated his individuality. We thank our family members Erika and Bobby for 'lending' us Bandit as he probably thanked them for saving him from a fate unknown.

Rest easy with Montana and Dakota, Bandit. Run wild and free in your new found health. Til we all pass over that Rainbow Bridge and are together once again,
Your Family

My precious little Sweet Pea, you left me much too soon. The joy and love you brought to my life will live on forever in my heart. I love you always.

Debbie

Thank you Bandit for 15 years of unconditional love. You were my best friend, my shoulder to lean on, a kiss when I was sad, and my constant companion. You taught me so much about love and friendship. Right now my heart is full of grief, but I know you are free from any pain and I look forward to the day when we meet again.
I love you my special boy.

Lorraine Smith

We will miss our special Bandit. We rescued her because she was abandoned as a little baby. We loved her with all our hearts and showed her how special she was every day. She was tragically hit by a car and we are all devastated. Because a neighbor couldn't keep their dog on a leash or in their yard, my dog ran right between my legs as I came home from work and followed the dog that was on her "territory". We couldn't catch her in time before she ran right out into an oncoming van. Bandit died instantly. I can't express the great loss we feel. We never got to say goodbye...........We will always love her so.........

Sue and Jay Csady and Jessica, Michael, Brandon, Austin, Buster and Carmen

Bandit was an Australian shephard, Was a true and loyal friend up to the end. He died Aug 20,2000. I sit here and cry as I write this. There is such an emptiness in our home and in our hearts......We miss him so...

Dana & Diana Deeb

Truly the best friend I have ever had. I am so sorry to lose you. You'll will never be replaced.

Janet

Monday, July 25th Bandit expelled his last breath. He had taken ill for the past 6 months and was not doing well the past week. (was not eating) We knew he was preparing himself for the inevitable.

At 3:30 p.m he slipped quietly into a coma, so we let him be and went to close the office down and when WE returned home, the little guy had expired in his sleep VERY peacefully and died a natural death. (an additional blessing)

We found a little prayer regarding "FRIENDS" with a quote from proverbs "Friends are always loving".

Bandit, born approximately September 1986 lived to the ripe old age of 14 years. (98 years human) For a larger breed (Shepard/Doberman) he lived a remarkably long life.

It's as if we lost a child...Which we really did...The baby is gone and missed already. His body was picked up at the apartment this morning in his blanket and will be cremated separate, we get the ashes back on Friday that will be scattered somewhere very nice.

Brian Ted

Bandit you were truly one in a million. Thanks for all the great memories. You maybe gone but you will never be forgotten. Sending you all our love always.

Mom and Dad (Edith and Jim Mason)

P.S. Bandit we hope you and Bailey are together once again running through the corn fields after rabbits.

After seeing this sight and loosing our Misty I felt guilty about another important part of our family who we lost almost ten years ago. Just can't leave out our little Bandit from the list. He was our first baby, in all ways. I really miss him and think of him often. Knowing that his best pal Misty is now with him has made it so much easier to deal with.

Person Family

You were very special to us and definitely one of a kind, we will miss you forever, it hurts so much not to have you.

Patti & Bruce Galbraith

I chose Bandit the day she was born. She came to live with me in my very first apartment at 6 weeks old. She was my very closest furbaby. She slept with her head on my shoulder every night. She greeted me at the door when I came home and had to be held for awhile. She loved the car, went anywhere I did with no problems: camping, motels, car rides. As long as I took her along she was content. We would go for long walks she never needed a leash she walked right beside me. At the age of 10 she was diagnosed with feline leukemia. I was devastated. The vet told me it was hopeless to put her down. I left her overnight while they ran more tests. In the morning I called and a different vet said what the other vet said was wrong. They gave her an experimental drug. She came home and lived happily and healthy for 3 years. When she passed on she was found outside appearing to be asleep. We don't know if she had a heart attack or the leukemia took over. To this day I mourn her.

Bandy sorry it took so long. I've never forgotten you. Love mommie

Her full name was Heart Bandit because she stole my heart with the first glance. We loved each other completely.

Diane DeeWaard

Bandit had a gentle and loving spirit. The love he gave knew no bounds. His loving spirit will always be a part of me and my life is richer because he loved me.

Eula

In memory of my beloved companion, my lifeline, and best friend. My tears flow like a swift flowing river, I am lost without you, and wonder how to carry on. But, I know we shall meet, at Rainbow Bridge, where once more we will be as one. I love you, Bandit.

Pat Doyle

Bandit was a loving cat and I will forever remember him. Here is a poem I wrote just for him:

Why did you leave me?

On April 6, 1998 you left me
I don't know why
you were frail and sick,
I knew you were going to leave me soon
but I never got to say my final goodbyes
you died at 12 am that night in my dad's arms
I'll never forget your purring or drool
or the time I put you on a swing
but you left me
it hurts and it still hurts
I cannot wait until the day when I can
hold you in my arms and say I love you
All thou I know I must go on
meet other cats,
but no one will ever replace you
I promise
Not one creature on this earth could replace
the love and affection you gave me
I told you, you'd live forever
but you didn't
god wanted you to be his cat for a while
he is probably taking good care of you,
up in heaven
but I still don't know why
why you?

Written by: Becky
Dedicated to my dead but never forgotten cat "Bandit"

Bandit passed today after 16+ years. He was special because he was my first very own pet. He will be greatly missed by me and Toby(dog), Beejay and Sophie.  
He now can play with his sister Smokkie who passed away in August, 1997.

Love you always,  
Barb Lupien - Mom

I'll never forget the first time I saw my baby. I was coming home from work that day and walked into the house and into the living room to talk to hubby, and there sitting on the sofa like a king was my baby. I stopped and looked over and it was like our eyes just met and it was love at first sight. He was about 5 months old at the time and the funny thing was for a new cat in a new house they usually run and explore or hide, but it was almost like he was just sitting there waiting for me :) And what a beautiful, proud, smart cat he grew up to be. I tell people the story of the night that I was watching TV and went to bed and forgot to bring my blanket from the couch to bed with me, so as I got into bed and put my head on the pillow I heard this funny swishing sound coming from the living room down the hall to the bedroom. I'm thinking what the heck is that. The sound stopped at the side of my bed. I put the light on and looked down and there was my baby sitting there looking at me like he wanted to say "Hey you forgot your blanket tonight". LOL I miss him so much, and he went so fast I still cant believe he is gone. I think he planned it that way, for me not to be there when he left. Like I said he was very smart. (darn it) Not a day goes by that I don't think of my pretty boy Bandit. (he must of loved that name) :) I would give almost anything to have him back. One more thing, you know how people say money cant buy you happiness......And we always say, oh ya but I'd like to try..... Now I see that they are right, because at this moment in time I could win the lottery and still be depressed. Oh well one day at a time. Thanks for listening about my little Angel Bandit Boy, And I hope everyone else here finds a little peace in their breaking hearts. Hugs Rose

I wasn't ready for you to go. You were my Boy-love and kisses

Nanci Suro

Banjo, you were not long for this earth, but your time here was short and sweet. You were my first dog, and there will never be another like you. We love you and miss you so much.

Kim and Bryan

For the best friend that I have ever had. Or probably ever will have. I miss you as much now as I have since that day almost a year ago, when I had to let you go. The worst part is that I was not there with you when you took your final breath. What I wouldn't give to be able to go back in time. I still love you though, and I will miss you for the rest of my life, until we meet again. Your ashes are in your little roasting pan that you loved to sleep in and when my time comes, they will be mixed with my own. Some people find soul mates in other people. I found found mine in you. A little seven lb. dog. I still say people could learn a lot from dogs. So of course you're not really gone. I saw your beautiful, young face in the clouds the night that you died. Was it your gift, or Gods, who knows. But you let me know that you were okay. You were young and healthy again. Thank you for that. I love you always. Mom xoxo

You are a very, very good boy. You never do naughty things. I was so happy to see you welcoming me home every night. Your innocent eyes reflected your purity at heart. You really brought a lot of laughter to me and my family.

We always miss you, Baobao, until we meet someday at the Rainbow Bridge.

Jacqueline & Isiah

My beautiful baby Brook. You were so sweet and loving. God gave you to me for just a short time, but you have touched my heart forever. I love you so much and Madison and I miss you terribly! Sleep well my little angel.
Someday we three will go for a walk again together.

Barbara

Barin was like our first kid, she was so tiny when we brought her home. She went everywhere with us, but her favorite place to go was the beach. She used to chase sticks out into the surf and bring them back. She was more than just a pet, but a very loved family member. She was there to give each of our kids kisses when they were tiny babies and to let them sit on her back when they were toddlers. She was patient and loving and never hurt a sole. We had all sorts of funny little names we called her, but the one that sticks out the most is "Munchie". I just cant believe she is gone. She will never leave our hearts. There could never be another dog like Barin, she was the most awesome dog to ever grace our earth.

Fred, Vicki, Britt, Ally & Nick Weinstein

Barkley you made us laugh you made us smile and now we are wondering why, We know you are in heaven playing now but we miss you so much.
Our hearts are broken and until we see you again just know that we love you and miss you.
Love,
Your Family

I explained to St. Peter, I'd rather stay here, outside the pearly gate. I won't be a nuisance, I won't even bark, I'll be very patient and wait. I'll be here, chewing on a celestial bone, no matter how long you may be. I'd miss you so much, if I went in alone, it wouldn't be heaven for me". Miss you so very much! Mom & Dad.

I found my poor Barkley this morning...only moments after he passed away. We saw the vet this past Thursday and was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. Obviously it was an obstruction instead, this was not his usual vet, and his bladder ruptured. Since I am a nurse, I feel horrible, thinking I should have noticed something else. However, my BooBoo never did cry or act much differently except for the blood in his urine and a little less active. I love my baby and would have done anything for him. Please hug and kiss your pets tonight in memory of the best friend I ever could have had, Barkley.

Cathy Schadel

Barkley was our special friend and a sweet baby. His love was always there and unconditional. He has left behind a family that will never forget his special way of loving and playing. Rob, Kathy and Bentley will always love and miss him.

Rob & Kathy Dorr

Loved with love beyond telling
Missed with grief beyond all tears.

Snezana & David Christmann

We love you Barney. We miss you. You were the best dog.
Love Mon and Dad

Barney was always waiting at the basement door to greet customers as they came to get their hair done and we looked forward to seeing him each week and giving him a treat. He will be much missed by all of us and by his special person, Toni.

We got Barney 7 years ago, when it was still just my husband Tom & I. He was our first dog together, Tom's only dog ever. We picked him out of the litter because of the heart pattern on his chest. As our family grew, Barney looked out for us all, especially his boy Tommy and later his baby Kaitie. He saw me through morning sickness, making sure he stood close enough to me that I would not feel alone and be scared. He watched over the kids and I so well, no one would ever try to harm us. He slept in our bed, ran in our yard, he was our pride & joy. When he began to get sick when he was just 3 and a half, we thought our hearts would break, but then we were blessed with a diagnosis that would give us back our happy boy. You loved your life. We always called you the Mayor, the way you watched over the neighborhood from your windows. On that last full day we had with you, you were so brave. I wonder if you knew you were leaving us. When I heard you slip that morning & I got you, I never thought it was our last few moments together. As I held you & petted you & told you it would be ok and you looked up at me. Suddenly, you were gone and your once shining eyes were empty & blank. I tried so hard to save you, Tommy screamed at me "Mommy, save him PLEASE!" Kaitie & Tommy clung to each other & howled as they realized their beloved Barney was gone. I didn't leave you alone in the room after that. I continued to pet you & watch you. After the kids were taken away & dad came, we took you one last time to the vets. Oh how it broke my heart to walk away from you. I still need you to take care of me. How will I be ok without you? The house is so empty, no one shares our bed. You don't watch me out the front window & there is no one to grab when the door is knocked on. The huge gaping hole in our house is not nearly as large as the huge hole in my heart. I don't know how long I am going to keep crying.
I hope you don't miss us. I want you to be happy, healthy, without that stupid medicine that hurt your belly. I want you to play and run and be happy. I don't want you to be sad like you were when we would leave you home. If I have to be this sad, please tell me you are not. I would hate to think your heart was breaking too.
Your dad misses you so much. It kills me to see him this sad. You were his Barney. Tommy cried so hard. He took your nameplate from your doghouse & he held it in his little hands and he cried more. Even Kaitie, at two, misses her Gog-Gog. She kept telling me "No Gog-Gog at home" She loved to pet you and know you loved her and wouldn't hurt her. I only hope she can know that love again.
I miss you Barney. I will always miss you. I hope I gave you everything you needed in those years. I hope you died knowing how much I loved you, how much we all loved you. Hugs "Beemer"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mommy & Daddy, Tommy & Kaitie

Barney was with us from birth, almost 13 years. She (yes she was a girl) was always there to watch over us and our/her property. She tolerated all the cats we had with grace. It didn't take much to make her happy. Show her a stick that had blown down from a tree and she would get all excited and run all the way around the house. She loved to roll on a squeaky toy and make it squeak. She would roll over on her back and kick her legs up in the air. Where ever we were, she wanted to be close. Her last few months got progressively worse because of the arthritis. At the end she could barely walk but her last day (as if she knew) she traveled to all her spots in the yard (4 acres) and smelled them for one last time; more walking then she had done in weeks. She was a great dog and a respected member of our family. It has only been a few days since she has been gone but it does not seem real yet. It will take time. We will miss her forever. Barney, your pain is gone now. Enjoy feeling good again. We will see you again.

Love Jean and Bill Chester

Barney:
Barney was 13 years old, and he was the love of my life. Barney escaped from a company who lived beside us. Some men took the rest of Barney's family off never to be seen again. Barney was found under our outdoor shed. I remember getting him the day that I got my dress for the junior prom.
Since that time thirteen years ago, we have shared a life together. He has been there for all the important events like graduations from high school and college, first jobs, birthdays, and holidays. Three weeks ago Barney was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Yesterday, I made the hardest decision of my life to have him put to sleep. I did not want him to suffer any more.
Barney was definitely my best friend. I will miss him terribly, but I know that I will be reunited with him in the future where he will not be sick.

Cynthia Higdon

Barney, forever in our hearts. A part of us is missing with you gone from our life

Ramona & Alan

For Barney, who gave a meaning to my life,

I thought my love would keep you safe
So how was I to know
That the gates of Heaven were opening
And I'd have to let you go

The Angels came so silently
But I knew they were there
So I kissed you one last time Barn
And gave you to their care.

Be good, be safe, be careful. Mummy loves you. See you soon Baby Dog

Christine Hoy

Barney, you are with all the animals in this tribute page.
They are all together.

Dear Barney now you have crossed the rainbow bridge.
Now you have seen Gods love for you
Now you are free,
Free of illness and Free of harm
Barney live Gods light until we come together in peace again with our dogs before you and our dogs after you.
I love all my dogs, yet you were the special one.

We will all be together free in gods light...

Yes Barney we will miss you. You are not gone forever
there will never be as good as dog as you
You are beautiful...

Tracie, Lori, Jennifer

Barney will always be in our hearts 'till we meet again.

Tracie

Barney, thank you for always being there, through the good times and bad. Right now I don't think I'll ever feel happy again. I miss you so much. I miss kissing your soft furry face, I miss all the walks we used to take, I miss seeing you waiting for me at the window when I come home, and I miss you lying right beside us at night. I will love you forever, my sweet baby.

Dearest Barney, my good boy, most affectionate, loving and beautiful spirit. You lost your beloved Shirley, your guardian of 16 years, and I thank you for trusting me to care for you these past months. So many loved you and miss you because you truly were, as Elena said, "adorable". Your place in my heart will never be taken. I wish you peace, sunshine and all the fresh catnip you ever want.

Carol Harris Lonero

My Barney was 15 1/2 years old when he crossed to the bridge. 5 of his last years he was diabetic. He let me take such good care of him. During that time we developed such a bond that I don't know if I will ever feel that way again.
I know I did the right thing but have such a hole in my heart as I am sure you all do as well. Thank you.

Jeannie, Angel Barney and Andy

Barney was the best dog in the world. He was loyal and devoted. He loved and was very much loved. Cancer came and took him away. We miss him terribly...with all of our heart and soul. Michael, Shelley, Jesse, Alex, Emily and Pebbles Redstone

Shelley Redstone

The Barney Poem
Barney is the dog we'll never forget
He touched our lives without a bet
We all loved him to the ground
Definitely the best dog around
He liked to be rubbed as he lay
But cancer took the beautiful boy away
Nobody wanted him to die
But God thought it was right at nine
The sweetest dog could have lived to age eleven
But now the Barnbear is in doggy heaven

Dedicated to Barney Redstone (1990-2000)
by Jesse Redstone

I got Barney on Christmas eve 1993 when I was 7 years old.. He was a Christmas present from my mom.. My boo boo was the sweetest little guy there was.. He was about 7 years old as well..

The people we adopted him from didn't take very good care of him.. They left him outside all the time.. They never bathed him and we doubted he was taken to the vet often enough.. He bad 2 fox tails inside each ear, was covered in mats, and smelled horrible.. But after we got him all cleaned up he was the perfect angel..

He never barked accept on a RARE occasion that he was sleeping by the door and the mail man walked up.. He whined.. When you walked in the door.. He'd whine like crazy.. He whined up to the very moment he.. Passed on..

Boo-boo helped me through the death of my aunt exactly 5 months after we got him.. And then of my uncle about two years later..

In summer of 1999 I found a lump behind one of Barney's ears.. It turned out it was cancerous.. They gave him a year to live.. Sadly he only had about 6 months..

Barney lived a happy life though.. And although he was in pain when he died.. He knew we loved him.. And we'll miss him always.. But someday.. We'll all see our baby on the Rainbow Bridge..

Barney, the cutest little budgie in the neighborhood was our kid, loving us unconditionally and wanting to be with us every minute. So much like "mommy", she was a gregarious, petulant little busybird who was afraid of everything new. She made our family complete with her chirpy laughter, angry squawks, and mournful peeps. We'll always miss her and look forward to the day when our flock will be reunited forever.

Love,

Mummy and Daddy

Barney was the bassett hound of my best friend, Sheri.
We will all miss him and know he has crossed Rainbow Bridge.

Barney (Ba Ba) has been gone for several years now but he is thought of every day and loved very much. He was only a year old but he added so much to our lives that it felt that he had been with us for so much longer. I miss the way he learned to bark and how he would ride in the car with his head on my shoulder and how he and I were the best of friends. He went through so much with me and I miss him so very much! Ba Ba, I can't wait to see you again someday and to run and play frisbee again!

Love, Mom & Dad

Our boy was so very special to us. He not only gave his unconditional love to us but to his little sister Bridgett.
We found him in an animal shelter ten years ago. We saved him from being put to sleep the very next day. From that very moment it was like he knew what we did for him and he spent his life repaying us. He brought us so much joy and happiness throughout his ten years with us. We miss you "Barn" and we will never forget you. Love Mom & Dad

Barney Boogins--What can I say. You were the sweetest kitty that loved unconditionally. I always had a soft footed shadow. The smell of cooking bacon could make you run at warp speed. You had your own little cup of water on the sink when I brushed my teeth. You always waited your turn for crunchies cuz Zeke and Woody always got there first. How the Lord has blessed me with an animal I will never forget and keep that little tingle of pain in my heart. I love you my Boogins-You are never too far away. Sonia

Thank you for living your life with us. You made our lives very special. We will always love you and never forget you.

Randy, Bruce and Lauren Weber

Barnie, RaRa, My Baby: Mommy misses you so much. I miss you in the morning when I wake up and your not sleeping at my head. I miss you when I talk to grandmom and tell her that the bum is still in bed. Grandmom and Poppy cried so much. I miss you when I come down and can't give the birds the bread without you running out to eat it. I miss you when I go out, come home, go to bed, wake up. I have your picture in every room. You were the best friend that anyone could ever have. I hope that you know how much mommy loves you. Everyone else knew because they have been calling and sending flowers to me because they knew what you were to me. There is such a emptiness that won't go away. Baby, I hope that you are having fun right now and just waiting for the day that we can be together again. I can't wait to see your happy face and wagging tail again. We Love you. Mommy, Daddy, Joey and Phillip

Barnum I loved you more than most people I know. I hope you enjoyed your short life until it ended while you were still too young. Your brother and I hope and pray that you are in the lord's hands and await a time we will be together again.

Lori Carmona

A good dog... we adopted him last year and we loved him very much. He didn't have a very good life before we got him and I hope we mad him happy. We didn't know he had cancer until Monday and we had to say Goodbye all too soon. We love you, Baron. I'll never forget you. You will always be my Baby Boy. Love, New Mommy

Baron, My love for you soars high above the sun, you are the light of my life, and the flame will always be burning. I love you as life itself, you are missed terribly, I think of you all the time, I know we'll connect again as we have many times in the past. You're a beacon in my heart. Thanks for all the gifts you brought and shared. I will always love you, Daddy.

Baron cat, we'll miss you. Sixteen years of kitty paws across our hearts.

The Lipski Family

Baron, has been gone little over a month. He followed our puppy, Luke, Out of the gate and down the rode to protect him. Luke got hit by a car, and Baron never left his side, and eventually was hit too. Baron, was so smart, he did piggy back rides, could find anything in the house with only one word.

I can't believe it's been a year since you are gone. I think of you often and miss you greatly. I now have Shadow and he reminds me of you. I will always remember and love you - you were truly a special friend to me.

Baron has been gone for over a year now and we still think of him and miss him every day. I still remember the day we had to make the decision to end his suffering. He had cancer, lymphoma, incurable horrible disease, in the prime of his life.  
He was only 3 years old. He was so strong and fast, always happy and full of energy.  
Such a good sheepdog. All of a sudden he was sick.  
It didn't seem right or fair or even possible. Six months after he was diagnosed he had been through all the treatments, and he wasn't doing well. It was a battle of wins and losses, of eating and not eating, of losing his beautiful red coat, losing weight, his cheeks all sunken. He never lost his cheerful attitude, even when we were crying over him on that last day, he reached out to touch me with his nose on the leg, to comfort me. Baron, I'm sorry for all the times I let you down, and I pray that I made the right decision.

Our dear little girl struggled with cushing's disease and passed away quietly one morning. She had the luxury of going to the rainbow bridge on her own instead of being assisted by a vet. We miss her terribly. Her last year of life was rough on all of us but her pain is gone now. She can root and dig and run and bark and chew on anything to her heart's desire. Who knows? She may also be with her son that died 8 yrs. ago. We love you Grunt...the best sleeping partner we ever had. :(

Our "Baron" passed 09/11/2000 @ 0020 am. He was 11 years and 4.5 months. DOB: was 4/28/1989.
Baron was diagnosed with pancreaenzyme deficiency @ the age of 14 months: when he deteriorated to 35 lbs, from an original weight of 65 lbs. I (being a nurse) was able to get him up to an all-time weight of 110 lbs. Last year , after falling several times: x- rays revealed moderate hip dysplasia bilaterally. On the 10th. of September, 2000 Baron became bloated: x-rays revealed a liver 4x normal dog size; and an encapsulated mass in his abdomen, attached to the perineum: The kind vet who had done an emergency decompression of his abdomen, allowed me to sit and calm my dear friend: we made eye contact several times; with me cuddling his head: he raised his nose to mine: and as so many times before: looked back @ the site where they had punctured his rib cage: as if to say "that really hurt": on the second phone call that said Baron had rebloated: my dear husband and I decided: we would have to let our companion, and friend "go". He died before we got back to the emergency vets: but in my heart, I know he is at peace.

Say a prayer for a very unconditional special German Shepherd: compassionately called Baron.
Thank you,
Jeanette M. Hilary

When I left you one night,
I thought we'd still have many years,
But the news the vet gave me one day later,
Filled my heart with tears.

I know we had quite awhile,
But it was never long enough,
I never dreamt that loosing you
Would ever be this tough.

Although It's been two years,
I'll never quite get through,
The terrible pain that's in my heart,
The pain of loosing you.

Dedicated to Barron the Boston Terrier.
By Jerra.

Barron, the beloved Boston Terrier, faced a cruel death. He was poisoned one day. My pug, Bandit, was also poisoned. Barron was 13 and Bandit was 1, so it was just to much for him. He died from organ failure due to the poison. Bandit is still with me today, but I still miss Barron very much. I love you, Barron, and I always will.

An additional tribute to Barron the Boston Terrier.
Love Always, Jerra

Miss you hound. Know that you are in our hearts until we see you again.

Gayle & Howard

Bartholomew, my beloved smile-maker tabby cat...for sixteen years gave me joy, light and love. Though him..I found truth in the circle of life. Be with God my sunshine. I will meet you soon at the Rainbow Bridge.

Lei Anderson

My Bartles, I am going to miss your cheerful orange tabby face greeting me at the end of my day. You were truly the keeper of my house, greeting all who came here with a friendly purr and a meow. You were the most social of my three cats, preferring human company to anyone and anything else. Coming home to our house isn't going to be the same without you. I already miss that morning ritual when you would follow my husband into the bathroom and sit by the sink while he shaved, talking to him and purring away. Little did you know that I was eavesdropping on your conversation and it started my day off the right way, with a huge smile. I miss seeing you in your normal places, the chair in the living room where you curled up for your "morning constitutional" (or nap) as I left for work, by the kitchen faucet waiting for a drink and some attention, on top of the recliner in the den watching the birds outside. Thank you for taking such good care of me when I was under the weather, and listening to every little thing I ever had to talk about. Your love was the definition of unconditional love. I will truly miss you, my baby, but now you are an angel watching over the rest of us. I will love you forever.

To our Basha baby girl: we love you very much and we miss you tremendously! Our hearts ache for you! But we know that you're in a better place. I'm sorry if you were in any pain towards the end. I'm sorry that no one was home to say goodbye. I hope you knew that we were really there with you when the moment came and that if we could, we would take all the pain away and make everything better so you could be here with us enjoying life together.
You were so beautiful and so happy...we shared so much....in such little time we had together. We love you basha baby! We're yours forever.....kisses

Jaime Nelson & Jake Johnson

Bashful was a special "person". She always ran the household, telling both her brother, Bandit, and myself what to do and when to do it. She was the mastermind extradonaire and I admired her in so many ways. She and her brother were exactly like my brother and I were..and you wonder how that can happen when she had never met my brother. Other than her tremendous courage, the one thing I remember most about Bashful is when she would come down to the basement where I was working on the computer and just sit there looking at me with those intense blue eyes of hers. She made me pay attention to her...and when Bandit didn't show up (they went everywhere, and I mean everywhere, together), I would trot upstairs to see what was happening. And lo and behold, Bandit would be doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing...getting into the trash or stealing something from the coffee table. Bashful had been "telling on him" so that she wouldn't get in trouble. I had never given Bandit the credit for instigating things and she was making sure knew that it wasn't her. How precious that memory was for it happened more than once. Be peaceful Bashful - Bandit will soon cross the Bridge and I know you will meet him and welcome him to the other painfree side! I love you still and always will, my baby girl. Love, your Mom.

Basia was rescued at age 3 1/2. True to her breed, she was shy of strangers but gentle, patient, sweet-natured and kind to her "person" and other animals. She was a joy and a privilege to own. There is a large hole in our family, her loving and peacemaking presence is missed. We will hold her in our hearts forever.

Donna Davis

Baz, Basie, Baz Baz Booie, I can't believe you're gone. I miss you so much. You were with me through 15 years and me you and Snuffy went through so much together. I love you my little man, I hope you didn't suffer too much in the end and that I didn't leave the awful decision too late. I wish I could hug you tonight lying on the floor with your tail thumping loudly. When I come home I don't see you waiting there for me wagging your tail. Your little corner is still full of your shedding fur and your dog food is still out. You were a nutbar indeed my little fellow. I will always love you. I hope you are OK wherever you are now, and bet you are running around with Snuffy again with your tennis ball in your mouth. Goodbye my little man.

Baxter had a huge heart, and would have done anything for me. He would rather play or be with me than eat his food. Even when his joints hurt he would follow me around, rather than lay down and relax. I loved him with all my heart and can't wait too see him again - along with all my other loved pets. I pray he forgives me for the times I lost may temper and yelled at him. He was my "guy" and I miss him terribly. Goodbye Baxter, we will be together again!!!

Shelley

Good dog, Bax. Swim the deep lakes. You were a best friend to my best friends. From Mom and Dad's friend, Marylynne

We loved our Baxter boy so much and miss him even more. He was the best boy, and I miss him more than I could ever have thought possible. We know you are in a better place now, without any aching joints or illness, but we miss you terribly. We will meet again, you were our boy! Love Mom and Dad and everyone whose lives you touched.

For Baxter

Your head lay upon my lap, your dad by your side,
Today is the day, amongst the trees, we must say good-bye
You have been our Baxter Boy, the best boy to the end
It is painful to let you go, we love you our good friend.

We will no longer hear your footsteps, or see you at the door,
Your gentle paws are still now, no clicking on the floor.
Your bright eyes have drawn closed, and can no longer see
Your beautiful coat still shining, as your spirit becomes free.

Everywhere I look, I see your loving face,
We know that you are young again, and in a better place.
No aching joints or illness, will ever slow you down
For now you are in heaven, a new home you have found.

We love you so much, good-bye has come too fast,
We will remember you always, and treasure memories of the past.
So be at peace now Baxter, and know we'll meet again,
We were lucky to have loved you, our precious boy and friend.

Connie Fitzpatrick

Sweet Bayli...you have been my best friend for eight years. I love you more than anything, B. Throughout your life you were like an angel. Now that you have passed you really are an angel looking down and taking care of me. Thank you, Bayli. I will never, never forget my sweet Beeps.

Alison

We are adding you a little late our B, because we just found this site and now your little friend Krystle has joined you. I know you were there to meet her and we miss you both.

Grace, Angelo, Paula, John, TJ, Christopher and Michael

BB is a very, very good boy. He is popular with most dog lovers. My being careless, inconsiderate and selfish caused his death, and I will be so regretful for the rest of my life. I love him so much and will miss him forever. I am looking forward to having our reunion on the rainbow bridge.

Mabel Lai

To Our Little B.B.,
Passed on 5/17/00

Mommy, Daddy, Jessie, Simba & Sheba miss you terribly. We all remember last September 1999 when you sat outside of our door all week and refused to leave-cold weather and all. You were so happy when we took you in, cold and hungry but not scared. I think you purred for 2 days straight. You were not even scared of our two 11 year old Siamese cats, you took right to them.

The vet guessed you were about 6 months old back then. You grew like a weed, played lovingly with our other cats, played hide and seek with Jessie (that was your favorite game, you always tried to outwit her), gave great back massages, watched and prayed for spiders, and waited patiently for attention (although the other 2 cats wanted all of the attention, you never cared--just waited).

When I saw you weren't feeling well, I rushed you to the vet in the middle of the night. I had noticed you laying around more and more, and then when you wouldn't eat your treats anymore, I knew you were sick. When I found out the next day that you had Bone Marrow Cancer, our hearts broke. We thought we could put you into remission, we tried so hard to make you better but you got weaker and weaker. The cancer was so aggressive-it was exactly one week from the time we discovered it until the time you died.

We won't forget visiting you at my mom's house the night before you died. Mom is a vet technician and took you to her house to take care of you, so you wouldn't have to be in that awful cage anymore. ( I also know that my mom grew SO attached to you, but how can we blame her?) We went out into the grass that evening and talked for hours. You watched birds, purred, rolled in the grass, and walked--which I had hardly seen you do since you got sick. You looked like you were getting better, and as I stroked your long white silky fur, you looked at me as if to say, "Go home now! Can't you see that I'm fine? I can take care of myself." That was the last time we saw you. I know now that you only put on a brave face so you wouldn't worry Jessie. She's only 7, and you didn't want her to remember you any other way.

You were only a year and a half old, but God must've wanted such a beautiful cat.
We all miss you and love you, our little B.B. We think about you everyday. I know in time our tears will be replaced with only good memories, and it won't hurt to think about you.

We hope you'll wait for us, because we will be watching for you when the time comes.

Love you,
Mommy, Daddy, Jessie
Simba & Sheba

Beagle, an adorable, loving mix (all black with four white paws and gorgeous brown eyes...) was our first dog and matriarch of a pack of five dachshunds and beagles in our home.

Her sister Brownie Boost, a chocolate standard dachshund (17 yrs) passed away on November 21, 1999. Just before the holidays.

Beagle and Brownie were very close. As were all the dogs in the pack and our macaw, Magellan. These animals are our children.

Beagle died stretching in her favourite napping spot, Saturday afternoon around 3 pm and was found two hours later by our dear friend and live-in housesitter, while we were away for the weekend. It had been the first time we left home for a weekend in six years.

We are so shocked and hurt so deeply having lost Beagle. She was given to us as a pup when we were dating in high school. She has been with me all my adult life through everything.

The pain we feel is unbearable..more so after having just lost Brownie. Our family of five is now just three.

We are lighting a blue candle for her every evening until her ashes come back home.

She will rest in our bedroom alongside her sister, Brownie.

We are very concerned about her twin brother Sydney and her dachsie sisters Sibble and Soo.

Any advice, thoughts, suggestions you have for us during this difficult time would be greatly appreciated.

Cindy & David Tussing

In memory of my best friend.
I love you, and will miss you dearly.
Love always and forever,

Laura

Beana,
It was the most difficult decision we've ever had to make, but we could not bear to see you suffer any longer. We loved you too much to let you go on. Your quality of life was gone, the light had gone from your eyes. We're so thankful for the time you had with us. You were a loyal friend, protector of our family, true to the end. We'll never forget you, Beana. Our sadness at your passing is overwhelming. Oh how we love you. Rest in peace, my sweet little girl. Love, Mommy.

To my sweet Beanie, my "bane-ting" - I miss you so much. I loved you with all my heart and I'm so sorry your time with us was ended so quickly. It will be so hard without you, but I will try to remember all the good memories instead of the painful ones. I'll think of you sitting here next to me on the desk or sleeping next to me in bed, and hope that you are now in a good place. Boody misses you too. I will give her lots of love so that she won't be lonely. Please forgive me, I didn't want you to suffer. I love you forever.

Mary Ann M

Beans (a.k.a. Oliver) - my sweet boy. You had such a brave heart; so many strikes against you throughout your life (blindness, heart murmur, Cushings disease), yet you never gave up. And you always kept your sweet, sweet disposition. This I know. The second you crossed over to the other side, you could see again. I believe this with all my heart; my heart, which is swollen with grief. I miss you so. I love you.

Jill Beaudette

My loving "puppy" and gentle giant, You completed our family when you were 8 weeks old with everyone aghast that we would have a Rottweiler. As time went on, you taught them all what a loving and gentle family member you could be. For 8-1/2 years we were blessed with your undieing love and caring. You knew instinctually when David or I needed comforting and took great joy in giving of yourself. Words cannot explain the life we had together, the love we shared nor the devastating loss and pain we feel at your passing. I truly hope that the concept of the Rainbow bridge is true and we will meet again. Until then my puppy, sweet dreams and I love you. Mom and David

I am so very grateful & happy to have Bear as a dog. He was more than a dog. He was loveable, protective, trustworthy, & the most loyal companion that anyone could ever have. He would lick your hand and that he would always stand beside you no matter what. If either you were having a good or a bad day or if you just did not feel like talking to anyone, he would come up towards you, he will rub his head against your thigh, look up at you, and he will always will stand beside you. If you pushed him away, He will always will come back & stand beside you. The more he kept on doing it, you will just want to melt & to let him stand beside it.

Bear had so many qualities, he will give unconditional love and that he will lick your hand & lick your face. His eyes were always a witness of the love that he shared with each of us & with me. His eyes will always look up to you and that you can hear inside, is that he is saying to you, "I will never leave you, I will always be there for you whether in good or in bad times. You see this look in my eyes, is that these are my eyes that show you my affection, care, compassion, & understanding for you. He was always affectionate, tender, & full of compassion & love. I will miss you Bear and I cannot wait to see you again.

It will be a sweet embrace when we see each other again. There will be hugs, kisses, & tears to share for the both of us. May God bless & cherish your memory, Bear. Dedicated to Bear on December 1, 2000. Your best friend, Bradley Johnson

Bear was, and still is, a magical presence. He came into our lives in advance of a great personal loss--the death of my father--and he was a devoted and loving companion and best friend. We are convinced he was on a mission from God, to watch over us, to heal us, to protect us. His extraordinary intelligence, sensitivities, intuitiveness, and absolutely wacky sense of humor changed our lives forever. He will always be in our hearts and minds and spirits. Thank you, God, for the loan of a perfect angel, twelve years on earth and an eternity thereafter. Bear, we love you and miss you deeply.

Bear was our special girl. She was the best dog we ever had......not a "stereotyped" chow chow. She loved children and other dogs. We miss her with all of our heart and will always love her. Knowing that she is has been "restored to health and vigor" helps us move forward.

Kim & Jesse

Bear, you were my buddy, my companion, my best friend. I lost you three days after your first birthday, and you are missed tremendously. You were there with me during my recouperations from surgery, which would have been lonely, if not for you. Whenever I think of you, My bear, I cry. We will meet again, Bear, My best boy.

Linda Young

Dear Bear! I am glad you are now free of pain and sadness, but I will miss seeing you - you always seemed so glad to see me and when I "baby sat" you we had a good time didn't we? You are now with your old pal, Watson, who went ahead of you in August of this year. Enjoy renewing your friendship with him, dear Bear, as I know Watson is enjoying playing with you once again at the Bridge. I know you only knew me as your "aunt", but I loved you and was concerned about you always. Play and be happy till once again I see you at the Bridge, when I am reunited with Watson there. Tell Watson I still miss him terribly.
Love
your "Aunt" Sheryl

Bear was my best friend for 10 of the longest and you might even say, worse years of my life. He was always there whenever I needed someone to talk to. He never got upset with me, never judged me, never belittled me, and he never stopped loving me. He was put down by my parents and I was not able to say goodbye to him. I found out a couple of days after he was gone. It's been almost 2 years and no matter when I think of him, I cry. I miss him so much. I have a cat now, Bear was so gentle with him when he was a kitten. But my cat can not replace Bear. No dog will ever be as important part of my life as Bear was. And still is.
I miss you Bear. I think of you everyday. I love you.

To Bear, who is always there.

Arden

A party pal who had friends who adored him.

Mike & Carrie

I'll keep your spot on my pillow warm with the love you gave me until we meet again.

Wendy Friedman

I am making the most difficult decision of my life at this moment. The doc just said Bear's liver is failing, and his quality of life is gone. I know what is best, but I am still grieving phenomenally. He has been with me for almost half of my life.

Bear always knows when I'm upset, and he comes running to put him head in my lap and cry with me. His toes clicking on the hardwood floors will be greatly missed. I can't bear to throw away his food and water bowls. He is and always will be my baby Bear.

Please send your prayers to my doggie. He is so special, and such a big part of my life....

Lisa

Hi Bear,

It's been a hard day and I was thinking about you. I still keep wondering if the piece of me that died with you will ever return. I still shed more then a few tears when thinking about that horrible day you died in my arms. I also smile when I think of all the fun we had together. Jamie and I were talking last week about how much we still miss you, even after three years. I can't help but think you must be watching over Obe Bear, and keeping him out of trouble. He's a lot like you were little kid when you were his age. Full of spunk and so lovable. Jamie and I both know when we cross over you'll be waiting for us at the bridge. We love you and miss you big boy. Be out of pain and happy until we can all be together again. Hugs and Kisses from all of us.
All our love
Dad Mom Jamie and Obe

Baby Bear, sending you to the bridge was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I miss you.

JoAnn Eaton

Hello Mr. Bear,
It's been over three years since you left us. The piece of me that died with you has never returned. I still think of that awful day you died in my arms. Even with Obe Bear with us it's just not the same. I sure hope you wait for me at the bridge. I want to hug you and get a big Bear kiss, just like you used to give. It's so hard to let go even after three years and another big, lovable, Sheepdog. Rest in peace, and be free little boy because where ever you are, my heart is with you, and I know you are patiently waiting for me, just like you used to.
All My love
Dad

Bear, our precious boy, you will live in our hearts forever.

Gillian, Denis & Gemma Tripp

I want God to keep him and I want him to know wherever he is I will always love him and remember the good times we had.

Cindy

Bear was a very special dog she seemed to know just when I needed her she had been abandoned in the bush to die she was 4weeks old I grew to need and love her she was there when the call that my mom died and she just laid her head on me as if she knew I need someone to hold then she got very sick I had to put her down that was the hardest thing I ever had to do and its been 2years and I still miss her with my heart and I think of her everyday

LOVE IS ....A LITTLE BROWN DOG

My sweet little Bear dog was diagnosed with diabetes on December 11, 1998. I was torn with the decision to put her to sleep or start treatments which involved two daily injections of insulin. I knew if I chose the treatments it would only prolong her life for about 6 months and her quality of life would never be the same. Sometimes I think my reason for putting her down was selfish on my part. For I couldn't stand the thought of her cowering from me everytime I would have to stick her with a needle. Bear is a gentle little dog who loved just about everybody. She was especially fond of my best friend, Liza's little boy Josh. Josh was 2 3/4 years and always had food at Bear's level. She followed him everywhere.

I decided that December 18, 1998 would be the day to take bear in to have her put to sleep. The week that followed was very difficult. I was brave and vowed not to cry in front of Bear because it always upset her when I cried.

On that Friday, Bear and I spent the day with Liza and Josh. Bear was very weak and tired by this time but she still lit up when she saw Josh. Many people had come to say goodbye to Bear that day and when it was time to drive to the vet's office Liza told Josh to say goodbye to Bear. Normally when I left home with Bear, Josh would always say "See ya later Bear" . This time he crawled on the floor, looked Bear in the eyes and said so quietly "Good-bye Bear" and kissed her on the nose. Everyone in the room choked back the tears. Josh knew without anybody telling him.

At the vet's office it was our turn to take Bear in. I was thankful that she was the last appointment of the day for we had some privacy. I held my sweet little dog while the vet injected her with the lethal dosage. She went very fast and peacefully. I knew I made the right decision.

The weeks that followed were difficult and strange without Bear around but you get into a routine and life just happens. Josh had never mentioned or asked for Bear. It wasn't until February 8, 1999 when Liza and I went to pick up Josh from his fathers' house and as he climbed in the car the first thing he said was "Hi ya Bear" Liza and I were stunned. She asked Josh if Bear was in the car and he pointed beside him and said "Right here".

I believe that young children can see spirits because nobody has told them yet that they can't and Josh had proved it to me that night. I know the spirit of Bear will live forever. I can feel her. Love has no boundaries.

"BEAR"er........OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

My fear was disguised as courage on that fateful Friday night
If the cure wasn't worse than the disease we could have put up a fight
but I could not have subjected you to a life full of pain
the very thought of it drives me insane
You love me intensely, I love you the same
I am glad I was with you when the angels came
You taught me that love extends to beyond
My heart is yours for eternally long
With our souls bound so tightly
which nothing can tear
You are my Bear, of unconditional love.

I love you forever after.

Unconditional love.........is a little brown dog.

Tami Jean Willey

Bear,
We miss you so much. Little Bry asks about you every day and misses his Uncle Bear. We wish so much that we could have made you well again.
We hope you understand, Bear. We couldn't watch you suffer any more. Our sweet, ornery mutt who loved to run so fast couldn't even go for a short walk without gasping for breath. You'd fall down for no reason at all. You were throwing up 8-10 times a day. We were watching you starve to death.
We'll always remember you. There are so many happy memories. You were a very special member of our family. You always will be.
We pray that you're running again and happy. Know how much we love you.

Doug, Tammy & Bryant Lawrence

Special love to my dear sweet Bear, our old angel who filled our hearts with joy, love and peace. His gentle ways will always be remembered. See you at the Bridge my dear one!

Nancy Stinson and Family

Bear was a very loving member of our family. We will miss him greatly and NEVER forget the happiness he brought to us. We love him dearly.

Barry, Julienne, Kriss, Kim and Scott Schaeffer

My Baby Bear,
I remember the day we met, it seems like only yesterday. You seemed so scared and timid. I always knew we were meant to be together. I miss the calming sound of your breathing; I miss the way you looked at me every morning and the sound of your tail thumping on the floor. You made me smile every single day. Just looking at you brightened each day.
Some days I wonder how I can go on without your presence in my life. We were always so happy to see each other every day.
I miss you with all my heart. You were and will always be my Baby Girl. My Care Bear. Know that you are loved and missed and that you're forever in my heart...always!
Mama

Its been one year since I lost you Wooley and I miss you more than you'll ever know. I hope your OK now and I'll see you in my dreams. I love you and miss you. Mom

Bear was the sweetest animal alive. He was always there for us and we tried to always be there for him.
The day he was shot everyone cried and prayed. Our prayers were answered for the time being. He survived the gunshot and came home a few days later. Unfortunately, he suffered brain damage from the loss of blood and it affected his memory.
He turned aggressive to certain people, but never to his close family. We finally decided to have him put down, put the pain that everyone feels right now is unbearable. I hope that he is watching over us as we tried to watch over him and the day we pass he is there to welcome us.
It would bring me and the family who loved Bear so much some peace to know he is happy and to have people pray he is in a better place.
We love you dearly bear and my candle will be lit every Monday in your name and memory.

Jason, Cristi, Bettysue, Moe, Josh, Heather, Larry, Suzi, David, Lil' David & family

It has been almost one week that Bear had died. He died of brain tumor and had epilepsy. He was only 5 years and to me he was taken away so young because of his illness. I miss Bear very much that I can't help crying all the time for him. In his memory I put his pictures when he was a puppy to adult. Though it was very painful for me to put it together, but I wanted him to know that he is still living in my heart.

I well never forget you Bear.

Bear was our lifeline, our child, our heart. He passed away in my arms and I felt like a part of me has gone away with him. We could never replace bear for the bond we shared could never be duplicated so I wait until the day we can be together, soul and spirit once again. We will always love you boo.

Tiffany and Thomas

Bear was not a dog, he might have looked like one to everyone else, but he was our baby. He was a special member of our family. We refereed to him as our brother and our parents were his parents.

Bear brought nothing but joy and happiness to our lives and to many other people's lives as well. He was known by everyone in our community. Even our faraway friends would ask about him when they called.

Bear was with us constantly. He came cross country skiing with us, snowshoeing, walking and he even kept us company while we were out observing the night skies.

He was always eager to "help" us with the firewood.
He would pull on the wheel barrow and he always took his own block of wood back to the house. Sometimes he even brought it in and he would set it on the floor for us to put in the wood stove.

He had toys that he would collect and hide in the various little dens he made. His 2 special places were under our front steps and beneath the lilac trees on our front lawn.

Bear was a very intelligent baby. He even spoke. "Oh Mom" and "No" were his favorites.

Whenever he wanted something, be it food, water, treats of love he would let us know by barking, nudging our legs or hugging us.

Bear knew a few tricks too, he would roll on his back and cover his eyes with both his paws. He would wrap one of his big paws around your leg, and push his head up against you to give you a huggy. Those were just a few of the ways he was able to express his love for us.

We loved Bear very much, and even though he's gone to the rainbow bridge, we still love him.

Bear had a way of looking at us with his eyes. We always knew exactly what he was feeling.

We had to be careful whenever we talked about treats or cookies around him. We had to spell out C-O-O-K-I-E otherwise he knew that someone had cookies and that he wanted some too.

We miss our Baby Bear very much. He left this world unexpectedly. We hope we filled his life with as much joy as he filled ours.

Bear was a true friend, and we will always think of him as our little brother, because he was always there for us like a true brother would be.

Words fail to express our feelings of loss. We could sit and write about him forever.

We loved to sing little songs to him, and they would always be about him. And we're sure he loved listening to us.

The baby was a very happy little person, even though he weighed 150lbs.

As we've already said, we could never truly express our feelings about him in one lifetime. All we can say is that our hearts have been broken and our lives will never be the same without him. We feel lost and lonely and the house is too quiet now. What we wouldn't give to have him back here with us.

Bear gave us 6 and a half years of loyalty and he was one of the positive driving forces in our lives. We truly believe he is waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge, because if Bear isn't in heaven, then there's no such thing.

Bear we miss you, please be patient and wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge. We will always love you, and you will always be in our hearts.

Love
Derek & Tracy
John & Anita
and Neal.

Bear was a very loving and loyal Dobie to all those young and old he was close to. Although he never hurt anyone in his 11 years of life, he thought it was his duty to love and protect all those he was close to, whether it was a baby, adult, or small dog.
We have so many cherished memories of you Bear, and will miss you so very much. You fought so hard to live, and the way you looked at us the last night, as if to say "I'm sorry, I don't want to leave you". You wouldn't even lay your head down, because you knew if you did you would die. Even though you were in such pain, not a whimper was heard, because you were so worried about us. We will never forget you and pray we will someday meet at Rainbow Bridge.

Thank you for allowing me to post this tribute to such a wonderful dog. He taught me the wonderful lesson of why dogs have such a short life on this earth. They already know unconditional love, and are here to try and teach us. God brings them home to the everlasting love, they have tried to teach us.

Leslie Boling

Although Big Fella, you were only with us five years, you were a gift of Happiness and Joy. There is not a day, that we don't think of you, and wish we could all be together again as you were so much part of our family. As you know on September 22nd, just three short months later, Quigley joined you in Rainbow Bridge. She too missed you so much that she had to leave us behind. You now lie beside each other once again, just like you both did in front of the warmth of the fireplace, in peace. We come to visit and speak to you, wishing you weren't gone. We love you very much and will never forget the love and gentleness you gave.
Rest in Peace, free of pain our Prince...until we meet again.

Mommie and Brooklyn

You have been very special to us Bear. We love you and miss you!!
You are the best! You were as beautiful inside as you were outside.

Karen & Carl Waggoner

Bear was the best friend we could have ever asked for. We loved him so much and he returned that love. He was a faithful and puppy-like right to the end. We have so many fond memories of him fetching stick, swimming, running by our side. Life seems so much emptier without him. We'll miss you Bear.

Love,
Mike and Ruth

Our beloved "Bear" Bowman passed away from cancer at age 10 on Friday Jan. 28, 2000. We miss him dearly. He was a most magnificent Golden Retriever who was more than a member of the family, he was our best friend. May all the "doggie-angels" watch over him. We miss you, so much, Bear.

Greg and Karol Bowman

Bear was a mixed breed. She was smart and devoted and funny. She was a caregiver and even insisted on helping keep a litter of kittens warm when they napped. She carried my softball glove for me after every game, walked me to the mailbox and made sure nothing was too heavy for just me to carry. She loved to spend time together with me and also loved many many others. She enjoyed the water and would swim for a stick for hours. When I retired for the night she had to have my socks balled up to cuddle. She came into my life and made a difference. God blessed me with this soul and I am better for it. She will live in my heart forever.

Barb Phillips

Bear is one of the sweetest kitties and one of the gentlest spirits we have ever known. There was nothing but kindness in him. We miss him terribly, and eagerly await his return, so we can rub his tummy again!

Kaoime E. Malloy

I always said that family's have dogs, but my bear had a family. We all loved bear. My 2 sons wanted bear as a puppy. I said ''no''. But later on I gave in. It was the best thing I could have done for my self and my family. Bear became a constant companion of my youngest son Christopher. I never had to worry when bear was with Chris. All of the neighborhood children adored bear. In 1993 we lost Christopher to a car accident. You can only imagine how devastated we were. Bear war there to see us through. In 1994 we lost our oldest son Jeff to a car accident. My husband and I along with our two remaining children were in shock. But as before, bear was there to see us through. In 1995 I was diagnosed with cancer. After my chemo treatments I would come home and bury my head into bear's big warm body and cry . Cry for myself and for the boys. Since we lost bear we are so lonely. I feel there is no one there to take care of me. So my bear here is my tribute to you. Thank you for taking care of your family for fourteen years. I know you are in heaven taking of Chris and Jeff. We miss you my boy!!!!! Love mommy

Last night at a candlelight ceremony in the yard, Daddy and I laid you to rest. We wrapped you in a soft blue blanket and Mommy tucked pictures of us both close by your precious head. We found a beautiful place for you out in the yard next to a Hemlock tree. Mommy read a story she had written just for you and we listened to music, while we sat vigil over your grave. You are home now boy, from that cold, strangeness of the animal hospital. We pray that you hurt no longer. We pray that you are running and playing and chewing on ice cycles...all those things you loved so. Daddy & my heart is broken. Molly & Nicki won't eat and are grieving too. They know something that was special is missing from our home. Go my darling and spread your love. Daddy and I will meet you at the bridge one day. We love you Bear Jay.

I would like everyone to view the Beauty, Love, Light of the Love of my life who I sent to another dimension on 26 May.

There are photo tours of our LAST Day on earth with her, her life, her love.
This is specially dedicated to those with love but can only love from afar now...

Beatnik was adopted from the SPCA in New Orleans during Christmastime in 1982. She had a long and adventurous life and blessed my life and many others with her priceless love and companionship. Beatnik had a gentle spirit ... She was a good kitty ... A perfect creature of God ... and I will miss her terribly until the day we are reunited again. May God bless my furry little guardian angel kitty ... I love you Beatnik!

Sherry Main-Kluxdal

My darling Beatrice,

Your short little life so touched us all. Your light and love illumined dark places and warmed hearts cold with disuse. You, whose impatience was worse than my own, would be the first to tell me to get over myself and go on, but my knees are weak and when I do stand, I no longer know which way to go. Perhaps one morning, you will awaken my spirit with lovely doggy kisses and tell me.

Martha Burgess

Beau:

I loved you with all my heart, Beau-Dog, and I still do. I have never experienced anything as painful as what we had to do this past Saturday. Please forgive me for allowing you to suffer longer than you should have. I was selfish and did not want to lose you. You were such a special dog, and I thank God for the many, many wonderful years we had together...I miss you, little guy, there will never be another Beau-Dog. Thank you from the bottom of my aching heart for all of your unconditional love, for being there for me every minute of the day, easing my panic and anxiety attacks, for your healing, reassuring presence. Losing you is the most painful thing I have ever experienced, but I could not stand to watch you suffer any longer; the liver cancer was far too advanced and you were a very sick little dog. I wish we had discovered it much sooner; when we did discover it three months ago, it was already too advanced. The vet said that the tumor was too large to remove, and Beau-Dog, I couldn't bear to subject you to Chemotherapy, so I tried to keep you as comfortable as possible during the little time you had left. I love you and I miss you. The pain is indescribable. But, I know you will be there waiting for me when my time comes to leave this earth, and we will be together again forever with no more pain, sadness, anxiety, or sickness. I love you. Christina.

Beau-of all the cats we've ever had over the years, you were the most special. Always ready to hug and cuddle, you brought sunshine into our lives every day. Your death was so sudden and unexpected. It broke our hearts. Our comfort is that we know you are there waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge, and we'll be together again.

The Blaylock Family

Beausie you faithful friend, you kept an eye on our place we miss you mommy and daddy

Hella

I'll miss you my special little friend.

Mary Rita Price

Beau was a big, black, furry dog who was so handsome and who so resembled a bear that people on the street just stopped and smiled when he walked by. And he was such a good companion! Nothing made him happier than just being near me. I used to play the "growling game" with him--I would hug him then growl, and he would growl back, and I would growl again, then Beau would scold me noisily then give me a big kiss, to show that he knew that it was only a game.

Beau died of kidney failure. He was in the hospital for 4 days, and when he came home he sat in his spot on the couch and we kissed each other for 10 minutes without stopping because we were so happy to be together again.

The vet came to our house to put him to sleep. When he died, I held his paw and smiled because he had brought so much happiness to so many people in his lifetime.

I really miss Beau.

Jay

Beau was a great dog and giant too he was 36 in. to the withers I miss him greatly he was more than a friend he was my soul mate bone cancer took his life.

Emily Tiscarenio

Beau, I'm sorry. I wish I could have made you better. I wish I could have done something to heal you. I wish I could have helped you to live a few more years. I'm sorry I took you the vet's to be put to sleep. I don't think you had any idea what was about to happen. I'm very sorry. It was mom's decision. She thought you were in too much pain to go on. I don't know if you were or not. I just know it was a struggle for you to walk, you were drinking so much water that you couldn't hardly control you bladder, and it was hard for you to go the bathroom because you couldn't squat down anymore. It was hard for you just to get up and you couldn't hardly stand anymore. She couldn't stand to see you collapse anymore.

That last walk was a tough one. You walked as far as you could, then your legs started shaking and you finally laid down in the grass. I just sat there with you for a while, knowing it would be the last time. I wish we could have stayed there forever, Beau. I want you to know that when I carried you back, I didn't want to. I had to.

And the reason she boarded you for that week before that is that you couldn't climb the stairs anymore and she couldn't carry you. And even when she had Miguel do it, she said it was too hard on you. I wish I could have done it myself, Beau, but I lived too far away to come there every day. I know you must have been depressed being boarded in a strange place for a whole week. I'm sorry. I worried that you thought we were sending you away because you couldn't hardly walk anymore - that you thought we didn't want you anymore. That wasn't it - not at all! She just couldn't handle it anymore. Another reason she boarded you is that she had to get ready to move downstairs. That's the reason we moved. So you wouldn't have to climb the stairs anymore. I know you were confused when you got "home". We were trying to help you. We were going to get you a wheelchair too. That's why I was trying to measure you that day. But mom called me on Monday crying and said it was time. She said you had been collapsing and peeing because you couldn't control your bladder anymore and she thought you were in pain and she couldn't stand to see you suffer anymore. I'm sorry Beau. You were always so happy to see me. I was happy to see you too. I love you very much. I hope you're not mad at me. I wish I could be with you now.

Chuck Marshall

Beau my special friend. An All American Who Knows dog.
He loved pop bottle caps and toilet paper tubes. He loved sleeping under the blanket, no matter how hot it was. He loved Tommy his boy and made it known that he loved Tommy.
He made every one love him. Even people who really didn't care for dogs liked him. He just had a way about him.
Alec, his boxer buddy, was a puppy when he joined our family and Beau showed him that this is my family and you are welcome. He was a very special dog who will be missed forever.

I LOVE YOU, Beau.

Kathy Dolan

Thank you Beau for being my strength, my constant companion, the giver of your unconditional love and my playmate for 8 years. Your love is always with me and always will be. You took care of me when I was sad, in pain, alone and sick. We played endlessly together, and rejoiced at the sight of each other. Your passing leaves a hole in my heart, but I know that your spirit is always with me and that when I talk to you, you hear me. Thank you for being willing to walk the earth with me. I will scatter your ashes on the mountain, and know that you are home. I love you more than there are stars in the sky. My best friend, my protector, my Beau.

Roe

Oh Beau, my heart, my beautiful boy. You are gone from us now and our hearts ache with the loss of you. Brienne, at six months, has known nothing but you. You were her buddy. The two of you played hide and seek and chase around the tree outside while Bruce and I laughed from the swing. You helped teach Brienne how to sit when she wanted something. Now you are gone and she searches for you when we go into the yard. Then her little ears droop as she realizes you're no longer here. I can't explain it to her. Rascal and Rebel, in their own cat way, miss you, too; Rascal wishes you could wash his ears again and let him box yours. You were his doggy pal. Bruce in his strong stoic way says this was best - you suffer no longer. But I hear the catch in his voice and the love it bears when he whispers your name. You, oh Beau, my "Face", my beautiful face. My Sweet Beau - how I long to call you that again. How I long to scratch your chest and have you lick my hand. Or see you walking so proudly across the lawn with your plume of a tail held high. I miss you and I cry. But I take comfort in knowing that now Skeeter waits no longer alone; that you are together waiting for us. I love you Beau. Your Mommy loves her boys and always will. Enjoy your time at the Rainbow Bridge till we are together again.

Lisa

Beau was a tough little dog. He fought that cancer to the end. We love him and will always remember him.

Bob, Julie, Andrea

He was the Golden Woof, the B.Y.D. (Big Yellow Dog), Bo-Bo, Protector Dog and so much more. His rat terrier mate & their 'rat-triever' daughter, along with us, and the 4 little boys he helped us raise will all miss him terribly. See you later, faithful, sweet companion! We love you.

The Burns Family

Dearest friends,
(This is copied from an email I sent to special friends an hour after Beau died.)
You got this because you are very special to me. About an hour ago, my bigdog, Beau, was put to sleep. He had lymphatic cancer, and we just ran out of viable options. He was treated very successfully for 6 months, but that was borrowed time that we are very grateful for. He and his brother Keeper were 7 on January 11.
He had great heart. Also, the kind of watchdog that would lick a burglar to death. He was famous for letting his littler brother retrieve the ball, then he would overpower Keeper, take the ball, and come back with it for all the credit. He would sit like a statue on a hill overlooking the road, surveying his domain. All the people on the lane loved him. He probably chewed up and ate more wood than any dog who ever lived. In health he was very very strong, and weighed 80 pounds. I will miss the way he would lean on me heavily while I sat petting him, and I will miss his growly-moany good-mornings; had to have a ball or a toy in his mouth to do it. He and Keeper are the only kids in my life, and although I knew this day would likely come for some time, it is just hard.
At some point in your life, or even now, I wish you all have a pup or a kitty as fine as he.
Much love to all, Thomas

For over 17 years Beau gave me unconditional love and I hope I was even half the friend he was.

Dave Sheppard

Beau was a special dog. He was a member of my cousins family for 16 years. He too was cut down protecting his yard from the same pit bull that cut down his friend Charlie. May he rest in peace.

Jeanne Roberts

To BEAU: In Memory

White mask on black face
Or do I have it reversed?
You looked like a bear.

But you were not fierce,
No, you were truly gentle
To friends and strangers.

You graced our lives, Beau,
For ten of your thirteen years.
And you licked my hand.

David, your brother,
Brought you to our home one day:
Dog for all Seasons.

Furry ears, heavy paws;
One hundred pounds of muscle.
You trusted strangers.

I grieve not for you -
But for us who'll miss you so;
My tears fall like rain.

It is not pleasant
To assume the role of God
My anguish is real.

Please forgive me, Beau,
But your time had clearly come:
The bells tolled for thee.

You are a proud breed,
You have lived with dignity,
You gentle giant.

I'm sure that you knew
You were a very dear friend;
We'll not forget you.


Ralph Block

Beauty, you are and always will be my shining star. I would go to you for comfort and you would come to me for comfort also. I miss you so much and it still seems so unreal to me. I know you are happy now but I'm sure we both can't wait for the day when we meet and cross Rainbow Bridge together. You are the love of mine and my family's life. You were a faithful companion to my dad on the nights he would be working on something in the garage. You loved to have your belly petted and loved my Grandma's table scraps. You were always friendly to any dogs we would rescue even if they weren't nice to you but believe me, we're very proud of you!. Of course, you were happy when we would find their owner because then you could reclaim your family even though you already knew how much we loved you. You would always know when I was leaving the backyard because I would kiss you on the head but Beauty, you are very sneaky and sometimes you would manage to "sneak" into the house. I miss you Beauty and you're the best dog in the world. I want you to have fun at Rainbow Bridge and know that we will be together again. I love you, good girl! -Ashley & the rest of your family (Troy, Terry, Dorothy, Cassidy & your "brother" Floyd)

Beauty came to us at 6 weeks old, and I could hold her in the palm of my hand. Once she finished eating the whole house, she decided to grow up and take over the household. She owned my son (all of us, actually), who is in the Army now, stationed in Europe. He will be heartbroken that she moved on to the bridge before he could get home. She was a very special member of our family, and she will be greatly missed. Ever on duty.....Beauty.....
Here is a poem written by a very special friend in memory of Beauty...

Beauty
Protective and loyal Beauty could be,
A priceless gift for Joey and me,
Sent from God to grace our home,
Beauty stayed real close, never cared to roam,
Gave us nothing but love from deep down inside,
Beauty lives in my heart now,
Beauty still survives,
Love never dies it goes on forever and ever,
Creating pets for His children was God's greatest endeavor,
My heart is so full of Beauty's love,
I feel it sent to me from heaven above,
My son Joey loved Beauty with all of his heart,
The two of them will never depart,
When God sent Beauty to him, it wasn't a loan,
He sent Beauty to him, then called Beauty home,
Beauty waits up in heaven to greet us at the door,
We will be together forever, yes, for ever more.
Thank you Lord for our Beauty you gave to Joey and me,
We know Beauty is waiting in Eternity:-) ................. Butterfly

Our very best friend....we'll never forget you Beavis

Sue & Joe DeAmbrose

To an extraordinary, most beautiful and loving companion--you have departed the physical realm, but your bright energy will always remain, never to cease. You, my beloved BeBe, will be in my heart forevermore. I have loved you so much--our spirits are one. May you forever breathe free, and spread your wings to fly into the forever with ease, where we will meet again---across the Rainbow Bridge.

Roberta Emmert

Bebe was a very loved dog. She was given to me by my dear husband when we were going steady. She was my birthday gift, my first baby. She was with us through the birth of our three children and has been with us through our 14 years together. She was not just a pet, she was a family member. She will always be in my heart and is missed greatly. I hope one day we will meet again and be together forever. Bebe I miss you and love you so dearly. I hope you know how much I truly love you.

Iliana Sanchez

BeBe was the most special dog we ever knew. She made our lives full, gave us joy, and endless love. She was very smart and funny and the love of our lives. She will be missed every day that we are still here. We know that she is at peace and healthy now. She was truly the best dog ever.

Linda C.

Becks was my best friend and companion I've ever had. Losing him is a heartbreaking experience. The pain is so hard to take. I love You my sweet boy and I hope wherever You are You are happy. My life will never be the same without You. Love, Your Mom

My Dearest Becky, You have been gone for three months now, and I cry every day for you. I had you for fifteen years, but I wanted fifteen more. You are in Doggie heaven now with Coco and Buster. The guilt of having to put you to sleep, even though were ill with liver disease, haunts me everyday. My arms ache to hold you again, and I want to smother you with kisses. I will always love you my "Heart", and I will miss you forever. Sleep tight with the angels my love. Mom

Becky
You will always be in our memories

Sharon, Danny & Sarah

The tremendous void since Miss Becky left us is unbelievable. The word "love," as beautiful as it is, does not begin to describe the mutual feelings we shared. We pray to see her again when we cross Rainbow Bridge. We loved Miss Becky as we would love a daughter. She exemplified all that was good, righteous, and true. We shall love her through eternity.

Ken and Missie Craven

Thank you, my friend, for being the joy in my life for the short 3 1/2 years we had together. You are the reason for the love and joy that I felt then, now and forever. I miss you more than I could have ever imagined. It never occurred to me that you would not be with me, and now there is such a hole in my heart and in my life. Until we meet again on The Bridge, you will be in my thoughts and dreams. I love you BeeD.

Tina Wilkins

Behr was my Whole Heart! He was my Barry! He was too special in a way that I feel I will never be the same without him, ever again. He took with him more than half of my heart.

Robyn Ramos

Bekki, you left us with a vacancy that can never be filled, but our hearts have healed a bit by April, your half sister.

Rose & Norman Deblois

Belle was a very sweet, loving and special friend. Her first 18 months of life was bad, but then she came to us and we more than made up for it the rest of her life. The remainder of her life was full of love, comfort and happiness. We and the vets tried very hard to save her. But so that she wouldn't suffer, we let her go. She waited for us and passed on with our words of love and touches with her. Now she is truly an angel and with her beloved Baz waiting for us to join them both. We will have a tribute page for her soon at http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Pier/6240

Dee & Susan Edwards

My little girl I miss you very much. I love you with all my heart and soul. You are the best that's ever happened to me. You were the light of my life the sweetest, prettiest Belle of the Ball. I always loved the way you buried your head in my lap with your bottom sticking straight up in the air. And your belly rubbing times you loved so much your my belly-butts. You loved life so much especially all your toys but most of all your bunny rabbit it was your baby bunny rabbit time. I hope you will find comfort with it, it's with you forever. Beau misses you very much our lives will never be the same without you. I hope your in loving arms and playing with all your new friends. And I hope you can still feel the love we have for you it will never diminish my pup pup pup pup pup pup pup. You'll always be my baby girl I will see you again someday I promise. Big Hugs and Kisses All our love Mommy, Beau Your kitty Cats Muffin and Jinx and your Fishes.

My sweet Belle... I miss you so much already. Thank you for all you gave to me, Jeff, and your brother doggie Leary & sister doggie Tabha. Everyone said you were the rock star rabbit for a reason. I was so sad to see you so very sick, instead of hopping around & playing like you always did. I'm glad you are feeling better and able to be free and play with Cass & Molly... When we sprinkle your ashes in the national forest we'll be sure to remember all your favorite things: hay, carrots, broccoli, Honey sticks, cereal, Bugles :) & Leary's dog food :). And I'll hold you in my heart everyday. Thank you so much for everything, for being there for me when I had no one but you. I love you sweet baby!!!!!!!!
Love,
your mama

Belle will forever remain in all our hearts and thoughts ~ May her kind soul shine brightly for eternity.... peace.

Sunshine Miller

Belle,
Even though you had your problems and were never able to shake your disorder, you were truly loved. Mom and I know that when our time comes you will be waiting there, wagging you little bobbed tail like you always used to. Goodbye for now!

Adam Jeffers

Farewell my heart and soul, the sunshine of my life.
You will be with me forever in spirit, until we walk together again.

Sandy Maugel

Our hearts are broken missing Belle and not understanding why. She was so special, personality plus. Loving and happy, calm and gentle. We will be missing her a long, long, time.

Pattie

Our sweet baby, Belle. How we all miss you, but you are missed most of all by Blue. She doesn't understand why her sister, her best friend, is not here to play chase with her. I have tried to fill in for you, but it's not the same for her. How can we go on without you? Is that why I dreamed of you and Sam together, knowing that the two of you had never met? I know that he is taking care of you now, and you are teaching him how to play again, as he did when he was young. I just wish that you were here to climb into my lap - yes, all 60 pounds of you. And you would tuck your head underneath my arm, so that I couldn't help but to hug you and kiss you on that white stripe right between your eyes. But you're not here, and the only place that I can see you is in my dreams. I'll be waiting for you there. In the meantime, don't worry about your sister. Your mommy and daddy will take care of her, and try to play with her like you did. Daddy already said that he wants to take her out into our land and let her chase rabbits this weekend. I'm sure she'll be thinking of you. Give my Sammy a kiss for me, and I'll kiss your Blue for you. It's just not the same without my BlueBelle girls together. Good-bye our sweet Bellarouso, Bellerina, Belloise, Belloiscious, Belley....

Love, Mommy, Daddy, and a lonely dog named Blue.......

Belle was the most wonderful dog in the world. She watched over our home, protected our children, and warmed our bed at night. She was my third baby.

What a wonderful Basenji....for 13 years and 4 months.

Barbara Barber& Rick Barber

My baby Ben. I love you more than words can say. I think of you everyday. I still can't believe your gone. I still come into the room and start singing the Ben song. Than when you don't look at me I realize your not there. I'm sorry I bought a new ferret. I didn't know he had ECE. I would have never have taken a chance like that. I loved you so much and still do. I hope you can forgive me and greet me with that precious look when I cross over to the other side someday. I will remember you forever. You are very special and made such an impact in my life it breaks my heart not having you to hold. I need you to go to Megan. She crossed over last night. I want you both to be together until we meet again. I love you sweet Ben.

Love Mama, Josh, Samantha, Jake, Fox, and baby Sam

Our big brown Ben passed away in our hands, you were perfect in every way. Loving, loyal & protective you are missed so deeply. You will never ever be replaced.

Love you forever.

Ben a 16 year old orange tabby diabetic cat was diagnosed with fibrosarcoma August 30, 2000. Ben underwent a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and then surgery. Unfortunately, it was God's will after surgery that he never fully recuperated. Ben crossed the Rainbow Bridge September 17, 2000. He is very sadly missed.

Sue

When we walked into the dogs home all those years ago, you were still a young bouncing dog. you shared all that joy and energy with us for many many years, you gave us you all. You were a double dose of german shepherd weighing in at double the average weight, but you were so gentle around the children and other pets, you would never have hurt a fly.
Your legs finally got the better of you, in the end, we could see in your eyes that you had just had enough. it hurt to see you go, but you are now running free once again on the beaches which you loved and in the fields.
Thank you for all the happiness that you gave to us rest in peace my gentle giant, one day we will meet again.

My dear Bena, I miss you so very much. Thank you for loving me more than anybody else and for showing me things I otherwise would have missed. I'm so sorry... I wanted to take you so many places and share so many things with you. My heart aches for you...I don't think there will ever be enough tears shed.

Sharon Vincuilla

Gone but Not forgotten--Love, Patty and Dan

We love you Bengi and we thank you for all the joy you gave to our lives these past 14 years. We hope you are peacefully at rest now, we will miss you and you will live in our hearts forever...Karen, Kenny, and mommy

Dear Benjamin,

To our little buddy, we miss your presence. We miss those big bunny feet that we always loved to tickle. We miss your snuggle and cuddles, we miss your mischief and play. And we can't forget those large eating habits.
God has taken you to wonderful place where there is no more pain. You will meet up with Marjorie, Ginger and Maryanne, Alfie and Gisette. We will meet you one day at the rainbow bridge.

Until then,
All our hugs and kisses,
Love mom and dad

For my darling baby. you were smarter then most people I know and more sensitive to my needs.

Beverly

We miss you Benjamin Aslan Murphy! We gave you the middle name of Aslan, after the lion in C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, because you were so big and fluffy your whole body looked like a lion's mane. We also enjoyed your gentle spirit and the way you loved to carry things in your mouth, especially your food dish. We know you've been carried on angel's wings and are now free from pain. You'll always be in our hearts.

Jim, Barbie, Heather, and Todd

Benjamin always used to greet me at the door. If he didn't, I'd find him patiently awaiting behind a door he couldn't open. I went looking for him, and he was at the foot of our bed - gone...

Nothing ever phased him - he took everything in stride - moved with me to four different states, and was sociable with every cat and dog he met (as long as you didn't ruffle his fur). He was a good friend and will be missed terribly! I love you Benjamin! Rest in peace, Sweetie!

Benji, born feb 18 1993, died feb 19, 2000. GSD
My beautiful german shepherd, you gave me the ability to be patient and you showed me how to be open in my effections. Your beauty and strength never siezed to amaze me. You came into our lives and developed an intellectual sense of our needs, both me and you daddy's individually and you gave us so much of your self.  
Now after only seven short years you left us a week ago today with only sadness and despair. You were the child I never had and now you are gone from me, I feel so lost without you, I just wish so much I could feel you in my arms once again, without the trauma and pain which you suffered as the result of "Gastric Torsion". I wish I could have taken your pain or shared in it.

Your momma!

Baby Benji

To us you were the best little doggie in the world
God broke our hearts when he took you to live with him.

You were no bigger then my fist when you were rescued from the river where some unkind person had thrown you when you were only a few days old and you never really grew much bigger, you were our eternal pup.

Every day of the 12 years you spent with us was filled with sunshine, you always seemed to have a smile on your face and your tail never ceased to wag, you were never ill, but you nursed us all when we were ill , never leaving our sides

You nursed your daddie Toby during his long illness, never failing to let us know when he needed anything, or leading him by holding his collar between your teeth as you led him out into the garden and back in safely, you remained by his side until the vet decided his time had come and he was too weak to go on, that was only seven weeks ago.

You were the most human, intelligent, unselfish dog we have ever known, giving all and only wanting love in return. Your whole world consisted of us, Toby, the house and the garden you never wanted to go beyond those boundaries.

You treated our friends as your friends and children as your playmates, you loved everyone, just as everyone loved you, you never failed to make us smile, you were perfect in everyway. we are so proud of you.

When the illness came along and took you from us, and within 24 hours you were gone, we couldn't do for you what you spent your life doing for us and now our lives are in pieces, the tears will never stop and the hurt won't go away.

The only consolation we have is that you are now with your daddy Toby. playing together in heaven as you both did as young doggies and protecting each other.

The sunshine has gone from our lives and has been replaced with tears, but I know one day we will all be together again and the sun will come out again for us all, we all love and miss you so much.

May God love and protect you both until we meet again

All our love and kisses

From Mummy, your sisters Tina and Cindy

You gave me love and trust and joy
And even though you are no longer by my side
Your gifts remain
And I have you forever in my heart.

Benji - my beautiful, happy boy. You were my light when I was down, and you always brought sunshine into my life.

When you became ill, we tried everything to make you well, but it wasn't to be and we had to send you to a better place.

I hope you can see me and hear me sing. I can't wait to sing with you again.

Till we meet again, my beauty.

Jo Wilson

Benji, our best friend, we grew old together and we miss you more than words could ever say. You were the center of our household and loved by all. It will never be the same without you, we will think of you each day and hope we will all be together again someday. Loving and missing you, Frank, Donna, Callie, Middie, Chole, Snowy, and Pepe.

Bon-Bon, you were our first love, and you will always remain first in our hearts. Words cannot express how deeply we miss your Ho-ho-hos. Thank you for giving Spenser, God's strength, to us, and for leading us to him. We hope you're having a ball on your Golf Cart, having lotsa pizza and watching over Tim and Britt.

Karolyn and Ford

Bennie, you and I became the best of friends, and I know how you depended on me. I just wish there was some way I could show you just how much I depended on you too. I can only hope that you knew.
I'm really glad your not suffering with the cancer anymore, my friend, I hope I made the right decision. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make but I believe that I acted out of love, and tried to keep you from suffering as Babe did. There will always be that slim window of doubt, I hope you can forgive me.
You were such a good and happy dog, you spent your younger years keeping Mom and Dennis on there toes, I can laugh at the stories, and believe it ,I wish I was there back then.. When I met your mom I Just fell in love with you and Babe, and the 5 years we had seemed so short.
You grew to be such a great companion always letting us know when someone even came close to the house or my truck, you were the great protector, think of the people who you scared off, if only they knew , all you really wanted was to play. I hope you have all the beef sticks and hotdogs you could want on your side of the bridge.
I'm still looking for your Happy greeting each day when I get home, but it is not there. When I open the door, I still open it slow so it doesn't hit you when you laid right there so nobody could get past you without your knowing about it. I miss how every night you would come into my bedroom when I went to bed, and laid at the foot of it, until you were confident that I was there for the night. Bennie one of the things I miss the most is your jumping up on the edge of my bed every morning at 4:30am to make sure I was up and ready to take you outside. You never missed until Sunday January 23rd the day you died, I knew something was wrong even before anyone else, you and I, we just had that special bond, that unless someone has had it, they would not understand.
Bennie, we all love you and miss you. You will never be forgotten, for you hold a special place in our hearts that nothing else will ever fill.
Take Care my pal and I promise the first thing I'll do when I get to your side of the bridge, I will call your name.
Until then ..... Hugs and Kisses to you and Babe.
Love
Dad, Mom, and Josh

Benny
Just a quick word to let you know how I feel
For there is a pain inside me that will never heal
For you are gone, no longer by my side
Millions of tears for you I will cry
Every where I look I see you face
But your no longer in your special place
I'm sorry I had to do that to you
For if I could I would have come too
I think of you day and night
I will always have this pain to fight
So this is for my special friend
My love for you will never end..
Benny, I love and miss you so very much..take care baby and we will be together soon.
Bye Boo's
Love Brian

A truely special dog. Saved from the pound, you battled alot. I hope you know how much I love you. I hope my guilt will fade. My wounds are fresh, I still feel you near me, I still hear your little claws on the hardwood floor. I need the reassurance that you are now happy.

Joanne Feather

My sweet boy whom I adopted from the animal shelter when I got out of the service, who went through monumental changes with me in my personal life (parents nasty divorce, breakup with my boyfriend, all those big rotten things that can and do happen), YOU alone were the only one who always waited for me, always loved me, always waited so patiently for me. You were so young and then that day came 16 years later when you were so old and sick. It's been almost 3 years now and I still cry. I love you so much, my sweet Ben, mommy loves you.

My Darling Ben. I am wracked with pain at your loss today. Just know that I will always love you. You will always be in my heart. I will take you everywhere I go. Thank you for your unconditional love always. And we will meet again one day at Rainbow Bridge.

Carol

Benson,

For 18 years you were my best friend. As I lay you to rest today, even though you will not be with me in the physical sense anymore, you will always be in my heart.
You will never be forgotten. Thank you for so many precious memories. I have loved you for 18 years and I will love you forever.

Glenda

My beloved cat Bentley passed on 10/7/00. He was a gorgeous, regal black & white long-haired cat. He was very gentle, docile, and sweet. I adopted him after he showed up at my mother's porch a few months ago. She started feeding him and I later took him in. He must have been elderly but he appeared to be in good health. I had him vaccinated and groomed. We all loved him and I believe he was heaven sent. Yesterday, when he threw up a hair ball, he went into a seizure & convulsions. He died shortly thereafter. My boyfriend Dennis buried him in my backyard where I just planted a flower garden on his grave. I feel honored that he came into my life and miss him dearly. Love, Chyrisse Tabone.

To my best friend - to my doodle dog of 11 years. I know you are waiting for me at Rainbow Bridge with a smiling face and a wagging tail. To mommy's favorite boy with all my love.

Carolyn Austin

My "B"....You are missed terribly already. You have been such a loving, sweet, perfect friend for nearly 15 years. I shall remember always, how devoted and tender your little soul was, and will hold you in my heart forever until we meet again. Your light shall forever shine in all our hearts. My prayer to you, are the words from the candle ceremony: "I have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain, not because I did not love you, but because I loved you too much to force you to stay." Be in peace and love, run free through green pastures and may happiness continue to flow so endlessly from your heart. I know "Reggie" will be there to greet you! I am with you always. I LOVE YOU B!!!!!!

Cathy Lambiase

My boy Berkley was the epitome of the playful kitty. He was big. He was powerful, and we was the best da** fly-catcher I've ever met! He would annoy the dogs, leap on my face at 6am to wake me up and he would open doors and windows without a by-your-leave. There was no containing this cat. Unfortunately, that was his undoing. He was able to unlock the back door and, as was inevitable, was hit by a car. He was in one piece with no broken bones, and managed to get back home where he died of a punctured lung and perforated wind pipe. We could have fixed the punctured lung, but nothing could be done for his windpipe. With tears in our eyes, my husband and I helped him to the Rainbow Bridge so he would feel no more pain and could catch all the flies he wanted. Our only consolation was that he died doing what he loved to do best.

Bekah Rogers

Thank you God for the puppy you made me

At first, when I brought you home, I thought you were learning so much. But it was me who was learning all those years as you grew into the beautiful dog you were meant to be.

There were lots of things that made you special. Your sparkling eyes healthy and bright, your willingness to please and your devotion too. You taught me patience by always waiting for me to get done with whatever I was doing, just to spend time with me or even to have me just look at you. Your watchful eyes were full of sensitivity and love for life. Through your unconditional love, you showed me I could love much deeper than I could possibly imagine. I just didn't know I had it in me, until you were gone from this earth and from my life.

Now I am alone. I feel an aching hole in my heart as I grieve for you. You meant so much to me, being a part of my life. I miss you a lot and will never forget you ever. I know there are lots of tears right now, maybe only a cup, but in comparison you gave me an ocean full of joy for twelve and a half years of the life we once enjoyed together. It just wasn't enough time. And Lucky, I figured something out. You gave me everything in all of your being for the time you spent here on earth, and left that special gift to stay here with me. Now it is lost within me, but I will find it someday when the healing is through.

Brenda Batlle (Ell)

I will always love you "Berretta Beritz" and all the animals love you too. My name is Alena Thomson... So ultimately... Berretta name is "Berretta Beritz Thomson"... Love you Baby..... I will Always love you forever......

To our beloved Bernie. Thanks for your unconditional and never-ending friendship throughout the years. You were always there when we needed you - when we were sad you brought a smile to our face. Rest now, as you reunite with Jason. You will forever be in our hearts and in our prayers.

Roger E

It's not the tears that are shed at the time,
that tell of the hearts that are broken.
But the silent tears of after years
each time your name is spoken.
We will never cease to care,
for in a corner of our hearts,
you will stay forever there.
No length of time can heal our grief,
our love for you is far too deep.
With broken hearts we whisper low,
We love you Bernie and we miss you so.

Mom, Dad and your Sister, Missie

Bert, I miss you and I love you. You will be forever in my heart. I had 15 wonderful years with you and for that I am thankful. I will remember your puppy years with fondness. I have the picture of you with your little puppy ears flopped over with the wondrous expression on your face to remind me every day. It sits on the dresser in my bedroom. I will remember all the times at the lake, you jumping off the boat dock and floating on my raft. I will remember all the long walks, watching you enjoy the freedom of being off a leash. I will remember teaching you how to sit, lay down and rollover for a treat and you eventually combining all the tricks no matter which one I asked you to do. I will remember the time you jumped up on the kitchen table during Thanksgiving dinner giving us all a surprise. But most of all I'll remember the soft feel of your fur when I hugged you. There are so many things to remember. I am sorry that the end wasn't swift and easy for you. I hope you know that my ending your life was done out of love and compassion. It tore my heart out to watch you go through one seizure right after another and being so weak you couldn't stand anymore. Thank you for leaving me with so many wonderful memories and for the heart shape leaf found on your grave that night. It glowed beneath the moonlight. All I wanted to do was dig you back up and hold you in my arms. Did you feel my cheek pressed against the ground? My tears as they dropped? My world will not be the same without you. My little Bert Bert. I love you so. Goodbye sweet baby. May we one day be together again.

Sherry

Bert Squirt, we love you so much. You're with Annie now -- I wonder if she still nips at you. You will always be part of our family. We'll take good care of Lonnie and tell her you're in heaven. Saffy will miss you cause you were teaching her so much about the world.
Heaps and heaps of love, L&M&S&L

I would like to say Bert was the one of the best companions a family could have. we still have his mother and she knows she will see him soon. I waited as long as I could but last night the pain was to much for him so I knew it was time to let go. even as I held his head up and the doctor administered the shot he looked at me and I knew I did the right thing. we will always love him and miss him. his gram and grampa he knows what we mean.

Don & Glenda Rees

Smile on our face every day we were together, we miss you more than anything. We miss the meeting at the gate and riding up with us muddy or not. And laying in our laps begging with your paws for more. Seeing you go for a swim any time you wanted, then rolling in the dirt, only to find you in your daddys chair to dry mud and all. But we did not mind, what ever made you happy. I don't understand why you where taken from us so wrongly, but our hearts break every day we walk outside or wake up and your no where to be found. Every day I think if I had of? All I can do know is believe really hard in the rainbow bridge and you WILL once again run to me. We love you with all our hearts. Mommie & Daddy. All your family miss you, Precious, Sophie, Bubbie & all the others you know. God love you.

Much loved cat who has been a long time member of her family. Her passing leaves a large hole in the lives of her people and her fur siblings. She will be much missed.

Beth, I am so sorry. I wish I hadn't had to make this decision, but your life would have sucked if I hadn't. Nobody can tell me what happened to you; maybe UT will make some progress. You were a good friend, a great mother, and I am going to miss you more than you can possibly know. I hope you will soon be dancing on all four legs a the Rainbow Bridge with all of our other Capria Mountain friends, and that you will be free from pain forever. I hope to see you again some day. With much love, The Mommy

I've had Betsy my whole life, and saying goodbye to her now is the hardest thing I could imagine. I will always love you Betsy, I will miss you forever. I hope you are happy.

Emily

Betty was a spunky lil' tigress whose short life awakened and filled our loving hearts and caring souls with joy. Betty lived one life and has 8 more lives to live!

For Betty
The pain won't leave me but one day I hope we'll be together again. I'll remember you especially at 9pm on Mondays, along with Berty and Basil.
All my love, mum.

B.G. Jackson, my Australian Shepherd dog, was born on 1 May, 1982 in Arlington, Texas. The runt of her litter, she quickly proved herself to be an alpha queen, earning the sobriquet "Her Fuzzy Majesty," and remained an intelligent and assertive but always affectionate dog for the rest of her life. During her lifetime of almost 18 years, she worked as a hearing-ear companion and free-lance herder of poultry, sheep, and schoolchildren, and traveled extensively across the U.S. with her beloved human mother. She gave unstinting love and laughter, protected me against coyotes, kept the postal carrier in his place, and every Saturday alerted me to the fact that our curbside trash bags were being stolen (again). B.G. brought more happiness into my life than any dog I've ever known. Old age finally took its toll on her body despite her brave heart and unflagging mental faculties. Carefully packing my heart away in a secret pocket I always suspected she kept somewhere in her thick fur coat, she left for the Rainbow Bridge on 3 January, 2000, surrounded by her family and snug in her bed, back in Arlington, Texas, not far from where she was born. Safe journey, B.G., my sweetest heart! Someday I'll be with you again and you can guide me through the Rainbow and into the Summerland. Your loving mommy, Tiger Jackson.

Bob found you on the medial strip on Rt. 476 in Philly.
Someone is responsible for what happened to you. If Bob didn't get stuck in a traffic jam, he never would have seen you & you would've starved to death. He took you home all dirty and bug infested. We took you to the vet and tried to get you started with your life, but you were too far gone when you were found. We cleaned you up, gave you medicine, bottle fed you, and loved you but your seizures were too close & strenuous. Your poor little body couldn't take it anymore, so you just shut down. I hope you'll be happy now that you are in Rainbow Bridge, because Doc said it was the humane thing to do. We really wanted you to stay with us, if only we found you before we did, we might've had a better chance with you. We both cried for you because some selfish person let this happen to such a beautiful little Kitty. Go look for our Mistress, she always loved kittens. She will look after you.
Bob & Carol Wall

Carol Wall

My dearest Bianca,
You have never been forgotten. You were a super childhood dog. And just like Mets, had developed that stupid cushings disease. You were so dear to pop. He missed your companionship at his work after you passed. I still remember how you slept on the antique "Pepsi" cooler in the office. I remember that despite your blindness and deafness, when we got home from the cottage, if we didn't watch you, you would walk a mile to the business to visit Pop. I have now placed a photo of my beloved Mets next to you and Pop. One day the four of us will reunite and will never be parted again. Love always, Petra

Petra Hell and family

Bicee was such a lovable, huggable very large Himalayan cat. I had him since his birth and loved him more and more each day. My heart broke the day that he died. He was my buddy, my baby, and I will always miss and love this "gentle giant" who brought so much happiness into my life.

This is to Biff, our big black dog. The smartest, most affectionate, gentle dog we've ever seen.
Kudos to you Biff, putting up with the kitties rubbing on you, never growling or snapping at anyone for 15 1/2 years. For finding your way back to your old house across the city after we moved, waiting for us in your old backyard. For giving the best hugs any pup could give, literally standing on your legs and wrapping your arms around us while you could. For being there with a hug for your upset Mom when your biological mom died. Kudos to you for being so well trained that you responded immediately, even to hand signals, til the very end. You loved going out for walks until the end, and doggie burgers too. We're so sorry that you were in such pain, that we had to put you to sleep....so sorry buddy. You trusted us to the very end. Your mom loves you, your Dad loves you, and miss you!! We have you in our hearts forever.

The Lyons

Biff, you will be missed!! We hated to let you go, but we hope you'll find a wonderful life when you reach your cloud of Catnip!! We love you so much!

Holly

I thought he'd be able to make it to his 20th birthday, but unfortunately, our beloved Biffie never made it. He had a long life, and I had the good fortune of being able to cuddle and pet and fall asleep with this gorgeous, loving, incredibly gentle tom for 19 years -- truly a gift from God -- but that doesn't in any way diminish how much I miss him. I miss the "conversations" we'd have. I miss his insta-purrs. I miss the way he'd snuggle up under my arm and stretch both paws beside my neck at night. I miss his blissful expression whenever my husband would scratch his chin and chest. I miss the good morning kisses, stinky breath and all. I miss everything about this loving, giving cat that was part of every major event in my life for almost two decades. Every so often, I have a good cry and hope his soul is at peace and surrounded by love. For me, he was the cat of all cats. He made a permanent impression on my heart that will never go away. Be happy, Biffie man. You meant the world to me.

Lucille Gnanasihamany

I've always loved you & you will always hold a special place in my heart! Use those wings of yours now & fly free my friend!

Penny Tice

Bigfoot you had lost your previous owner and I had lost my friend. We both needed each other and were able to comfort each other. Though you were only with me for two and a half years, they were wonder! So today, I took you to the vet so you won't be suffering from cancer anymore. Thank you dear friend for being so special. I love you, I will miss you, and will never forget you. Goodbye.

Ashley Kuehl-Binder

What a dog! You looked like a black Pink Panther. Just looking at you brought a smile to everyone's face. Your dad rescued you when you were a few months old. You bounced into our house and into our hearts. This house quickly became your home, and you were the leader of all our animals. You loved to sleep on the couch with your feet sticking straight up in the air. How can it be that you were only with us for two years? We will always remember you, Bigfoot. Another dog like you will not pass this way again.

Sam, Debra, Matt and Cara Corpora

Please keep Biggie's family in your prayers. She will be greatly missed.

Aunt Lee Hawkins Greer

Big Girl was born to us after a tornado dropped a tree on mom's house on July 4, 1998. She was a good Big Girl. She was the biggest, sweetest dog anyone could ever have.
To Big Girl: Now you will be able to play with Daisy pei and Daisy cat and your leg will never slow you down again. It was hard to let you go, but we know that in the long run it is better for you Big. The only comfort we have is that we know that our Daisy's are going to take good care of you and you will never have any suffering again. We love you Big Girl and someday we will all see you again.
Love,
Mom, Bob, Nick, and Haley

We love and miss you heaps. Thanks for the last 12 years of joy and happiness

Francine Murphy

Big Kitty was a BIG kitty in all ways. He was big in a large boned sort of way - he was 18 pounds, yet the vet would tell us he wasn't overweight. He had a big heart, a big meow, a big appetite for eating, sleeping on fluffy blankets, and playing with our other cat. He liked to be picked up like a baby, held over the shoulder, and he would nuzzle his head up against your cheek. He was great with kids in a way that I have never seen with any other cat. He was so very special and he will be missed by everyone who knew him. He showed no signs of being ill, and died in peacefully his sleep in the morning time.

Andrea and Dave

My Big Kitty girl passed away on Friday morning. She led a long, full, happy life. I rescued her from 40 below temperatures 11 yrs ago. She was sweet and very noble. She loved her cheese curls and you couldn't open a bag without having her nudging your leg, begging for one! She was a good girl and she will be sorely missed. :(

Carla Sampson

ShortTail was my gerbil of 2 years.She was so sweet, so spunky, so naughty, so funny...so CUTE.....with only half a tail.
I'll miss you, shorty...your death was so sudden, so sad...it was one whish I could have prevented.

Stephanie Chan

Big Tom, I miss you more than words can say. I miss you on my lap, I miss you snuggling next to me in bed, and I especially miss your kisses (smackers!) I will never have another cat like you. Dinnertime is lonely without you begging for anything I was eating, I loved sharing my meal with you. I dread walking into an empty house at night, I would give anything for just one more day with you, one hour, one minute. I was so lucky all these years to have you, please be the first one waiting for me when I get to the Rainbow Bridge, and keep Champagne, Midnight, Sunshine, and Sapphire warm at night now. I'll never forget you, old man. Love, Lynn

Bilbo, you are now hopping and snuggling with your little Bun-Bun, your beloved little bunny girlfriend. We will never forget your great character, the way you would flop over in such a dramatic way when you were comfortable & content, or the way you would get excited when you listened to the classic rock stations, and the way you loved to sit on your podium and feel special. You were like Dennis the Menace stuck in a rabbits body. We will always have our mended wires and chewed up items around the house to remember you by =) Most important, I will always remember the love that you had for sweet Bun-Bun. You took such good care of her by grooming her every night w/the special treatment for Sundays. You are such a sweet and sensitive bunny. We think you must have died of a broken heart. Me and Steve were overwhelmed with how quickly you left us, but I guess your place was with your "little-bo-bingy". It seemed as though you were lost w/out her. After all, our original intention of getting you was to give her a friend. You both hit it off right from the start. It was bunny-love at 1st sight! I know you are laying on your big white stretched out belly next to your Bun-Bun right now. That gives me some peace of mind, though I do miss you terribly. You are such a beautiful bunny and mommy and daddy will miss your funny ways. I cannot wait for the day until I can be with you and Bun-Bun again. Love to you always my "Little Samurai", "Fatty-Patty, "Little Lee", my beloved "Bilby". We LOVE you forever and ever. Until we all meet again, be good and stay away from those wires =) Lots of kisses to you and Bun-Bun....XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Bilbo, you were my favorite - so sweet and loving, you won many people over to Cairns. The cancer came so quickly, I did what I could, but in the end, your quality of life was most important - and when I realized you were in pain, I chose to let you go. There will never be another like you - I love you and miss you terribly.

Allison Huck

Will always love you. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Cristina Juliano

Our Billi girl passed away on Monday, September 25, 2000. She had always been ill, and this time, there was no coming back. I miss her terribly, there's a huge hole in my heart. She was a wonderful dog, and she will always be my best friend.

Dana & Michael

Billy, Smidgeon:
I love you very much and I miss you terribly. I hope that you are chasing bees and having fun. I hope that you have found Jareth, Slate, Rosie, and many other cats and dogs to play with. Daddy misses you too. You were his little "Smidgeon" and his little buddy and you were our Billy Cat. We miss you so much and love you so much, but we will see you again, someday, and we will never be separated ever again. You will always hold a special place in my heart, little Billy.
Love always,
Jessica

Billy was a wonderful, mellow, and loyal cat and will be missed by his furmates TommyLee, Toby, Nichlaus, Dominique, and his Mom.

The greatest dog we ever knew. He was the best right up until the end. In his youth his hunting skills were the envy of all. He endured two puppies and the birth of our two children. He never complained about having his mouth examined by a curious toddler. During his cancer treatments, he always found the strength to go outside and never messed in the house. His suffering has ended and he is at peace. Thanks for the memories. we miss you.

Lisa & Phil

Billy,  
You were a loyal friend to me for so long. I wish there was something the vet could have done to help you. I hope you know that I love and miss you. I can't wait until we meet again. I hope you have fun with your dear friend andy cat who you loved so dearly. You have a special place in my heart that no one else could fill. I miss you dearly. Thank you for all the happiness you have given me and the rest of the family over the years. I will keep your ashes in my room always. I'm sorry the vet had to put you out of your misery, but I couldn't bare to see you suffer and there was nothing anyone could do to help you. It was for the best. I miss you so much and hope you are happy now your suffering is over, I miss you so much and will miss you always.

Love from Dad (Gary)

I am so sorry my dear Billy. We were trying to help you and didn't quite realize the toll it was taking. We were only wanting a better life for you. You know.......I love you and I miss you terribly. I am so sorry Billybob - your mom, Lisa, your girlfriend Allison, your dad Brian -we love you

I adopted Bimpie from the San Angelo, TX Animal Shelter in February 1987. He was my buddy and companion for over 13 years in Texas, Alaska, New Mexico and after retiring from the Army. Bimpie, mostly a West Highland Terrier had such a personality and truly cared for me. As a puppy I acted like I was asleep and he dragged a blanket from the bedroom and covered me. He never needed a leash as he walked ahead of me always looking around to see if I followed. For the last few months he lost his hearing and began having cataracts. Still he was always here and by my side. He began having seizures and became weaker and weaker. I took him to the vet after becoming lame and found medication helped him but he relapsed. Last night he had a tough time vomiting and had no appetite for anything at all. Today I called work and explained. This afternoon he had no energy to get up. I took him to the vet and said goodbye buddy as he left to heaven. Although I am sad I am so glad that my buddy and truly best friend is now happy and his happy memories are what comforts me. Thank you for being you my Bimpie. I love you!

Binford was the most special dog and was loved more than words can say. He got very ill on a Sunday night, and by Wednesday he was gone. He died of liver failure. When the vet called to say he wasn't going to make it, we rushed to be by his side. We held him, petted him, kissed him and told him over and over how much we loved him. We told him that we knew he needed to go, and that is was ok to let go. He died in Daddy's arms at 2:00 in the afternoon. The only consolation our family can possibly feel is that we were there for him when he needed us, just the way he had always been there so unconditionally for us. He never showed us anything but love and devotion and it is so tragic that such a young, healthy, vital dog could die so suddenly. No dog will ever replace our Binford. I know he is waiting by the Rainbow Bridge for us to come with him. In the meantime, I hope he's happy and playing and knowing how much we love and miss him. We love you more than anything, Binford. You will never by forgotten.

Stoll Family

Bing was our Very Special Friend. It is difficult to say goodbye to a friend of over 16 years, but we rest assured he is no longer suffering. We also take comfort in knowing he is probably playing with Anton, Bugs, Buster, Gita, Hector, Topper, and other family members gone before. Until we meet again. Love, Kim and Keith.

Kim and Keith Franklin

Bingo was a good boy, and my best friend.
We will meet again Bingo at the bridge. I love you Bingo.
Thank you to all who prayed for him.

Binker, my Best Buddy, passed on on 7/15/00 at 4AM. He was 'everybody's friend' and always had a smile and a tail wag for me. He was a beautiful white/brown/black English spot/Holland Minilop mix, and he truly thought he was a 'puppy dog'.

Binker, I will miss you always, and I thank you for the five good years we had together. I will be with you always. your loving buddy, Doug

Doug Brown

My beautiful girl was my loyal companion for almost 11 years. Through everything that life gave me over that time it was always me & Binkie. She shared my pillow, and gave me unconditional love. During this summer, which would be her last, I took her to see the sunsets on the beach, and drove her around in the convertible with the top down. I miss her so much, and can't believe she isn't coming home. I love her so much, and know she'll be waiting for me.

Linda-Anne Lynch

My beloved Binkie, I miss you so, but I know you had to go. You are with your dog brother Ebony (1983 - Mar 1999) that you grew up with. It hurts not holding you for awhile, but we will be together some day. I love you Binkie, Ebony, Pippit, and Boo.

Diane Beesley

Bink,

You were there for me before I knew how to be there for myself. From you, I learned the meaning of unconditional. You were by my side as I grew from a boy into a man and struggled with the greatest pains of my life. I will never have a better companion and more devoted friend. My promise to you is that I will never forget a moment and I will keep every memory close to my heart until we meet again. I love you unconditionally.

Much too short a time for us to be together....Binky, you kept me entertained almost every waking minute. You played with everything and everyone, including the other 4 felines of varying ages and tempraments. Rescued in the slow lane of a freeway your odds of survival were remarkable. Happy go lucky party kitten, I wouldn't let you outside for fear of traffic. You were happy inside, eating cheese and anything else you could snatch from our plates. Then you succumbed to the mysterious FIB. I can't stand to see your blue eyes stare up me while attempting to lick tiny bits of baby food from a small dish. The other cats hover around you. My 17 year old matron cat bathes you as you try to breathe. I pet your bones protruding from your back and pelvis and wonder if this is hurting you. You have a seizure, small but powerful. I finally call a kindly Doctor who comes and relaxes you with the first shot and then shows you the way to the Rainbow Bridge with the other.

I spend the afternoon digging a place to put your body. I have a small side yard that could use some ornamenting under the crepe myrtle tree. I take one last look at you wrapped in a blue towel. Your eyes have finally closed. Into the box and into the hole I lovingly place you. I plant a foxglove that has started to bud out lovely pink blooms above you. I'd intended those to go elsewhere, but I cannot think of a more perfect place, the statement that life continues in many forms. Mr. Binks, we will play again.

Caarolyn Maginot

Binky was a pleasingly plump white cat, she was so funny she'd growl instead of purr, I don't think we ever heard her purr. She was a real finicky eater all she'd eat is dry catfood no canned. She had long hair and in the summer she seemed so hot we'd shave her hair she'd walk around and think she was so pretty. She passed away suddenly before Thanksgiving and we don't know why. We miss her sadly!!!

The Everts

My special, best friend, my cat Binky, passed away 12/9/91, she was 15, she died in her sleep. She was so sweet and lovable, always jumped in my lap and slept in our bed. I know she's in heaven. I truly miss her.

Lucia Minor

Birdy Bird you were my first bird. I got you in 1991 and you lived a nice long life. You were such a special little guy. You out lived a number of parakeets that I kept buying for you so that you would have company.
You even outlived my beloved African Grey, Casey. You were special to me too.
I promised myself that when you passed I would not replace you because that is not possible. I buried you next to Casey because it is what you deserve. I funniest thing I remember you doing was when you were hanging on the side of your cage while one of your cage mates was cussing you out for something.
After she was done you started cussing her out. I don't know what that was all about, but I seen the two of you kiss and make up. I just wanted to let you know that you are missed, but I know you found Casey and you are happy and your leg is whole now. I know we will meet again. See you soon.

Love, Mom

Birillo, tu eri un gatto proprio speciale per me e ti porterò sempr nel mio cuore e nel mio ricordo.
Ti ho amato tanto e sempre ti amerò, mi manchi terribilmente la tua mammina Loredana

To Biscuit
Little Dog- Big Heart
Born: 11-6-84
Died: 6-23-00

Dear little Biscuit,

I remember the day you came into my life, you were hungry, dirty, and matted but you were a fine boy none-the-less. What a wonderful little dog you were. Even though you were part of my life for only six and a half years you are greatly missed. I shall always have fond memories of you, your little stub of a tail, your little trot, the howl when I came home, the tremendous leaps you could do, the empathy and great love that you had, and most of all the ability to always find a way out of something (you were the escape artist). If I could have had the ability to keep you longer I would. I knew that you were getting old but I so wanted to have you with me longer, it was not to be. The day you left to go to Rainbow Bridge was a very sad day for me but at least I was to hold you in my arms as you crossed over. You are now with Joe and the two of you can run and play just like you're young again. Biscuit it hurts so with you gone. I miss you so and I loved you and I always will. We will meet again.

Peace, Alan

Our heart dog who fought so valiantly against Laryngeal Paralysis and Hemangiosarcoma. We will miss you always, and remember forever the joy you brought to us...What a love of life you had, and how very, very much we loved you. You will forever remain in our hearts.

Our love is with you always

The Sharretts Family

Bismarck was the most wonderful friend I ever had. I hope he is happily watching the birds fly by. Well loved by family, partner "Brea", friends, and all who ever saw him. Forever he will be missed.

Debbie Williams

I was there the day you were born and I was there the day that you died. Thank you for letting me be in your presence for the thirteen years in-between.

Megan F

What a gal! I hope you have plenty of toys to romp with, and lots of balls to play with. I hope you and Nickie and Fuzzy are taking good care of each other. I love you guys and I miss you with all my heart. If only you could be here with me still...I love you Schnookie. Mommie

Bitsy, you are still my special baby. We went through so much together and the house is so quiet now. God knows how much you went through, with your frail start. Now you have two good eyes again and no more sickness. I know you are in a better place, with others that we love, and one day we will be together again. I love you and miss you terribly. Momma

Bitsy you were your daddy's tiny tim and the baby your mommy couldn't have. You were so little and had so much against you from the beginning. You tried to beat the odds, but tired along the way. We miss you deeply, for you were our baby. However, we know you were ready to rest...your eyes told us so.  
We have comfort in knowing our Little Bits is now at the bridge. We know you're preparing a place for your big brother (15 year old BoBo the Boxer), who is afraid of abandonment. Because his little bitsy brother faced death with courage, he can pass over in peace when his time comes. Together, you will wait for us. We'll love you forever Bitsy.

Mommy & Daddy

This site is a loving tribute to our blue Australian Cattle Dog, Bitt, a.k.a., Dingo Dawg and Tina Lou.
She became a beloved family member in 1989, and life has never been the same :o) She was a true "Velcro" dog who couldn't stand to have her mom out of her sight.
At 4:10 p.m., June 7, 2000, she was released from her old, worn body with help from her loving vet.
We miss her intensely, but she is finally free from her pain. When she's not continuing her watch over our family, you can find her having a ball (or, in her case, a Frisbee ;o} ) on the other side of The Rainbow Bridge.
We love you Bitt; you are the best dog in the world and we'll never forget you! Have fun playing Frisbee with Grandpa Marv until we join you both.
Love,
Dad, Mom, Josh, Lacy and Jeff

Our Beloved Bix, thank you for sharing your life with us. We shall always love you. You were the light of our lives, and we miss you so much.

Mike and Deanna Barbarick

Words are insufficient. He was a great dog and I loved him a lot. I miss his furry self. He trusted me to do everything for him but I couldn't save him in the end. I know that he would forgive me if he could. At least I know he had a long and happy life.

Ann Gibbs

B J, our lives are not the same without you here. You are sadly missed by all of us- Karen, Malik, Grandmom (Vilma) and Dwight. Rest in peace, B.

A tribute to my wonderful companion and friend of 16 years, my kitty B.J. who departed this world on July 31, 2000. Thank you for the 16 wonderful years we shared. You were there for me in my single years, my marriage, the birth of my two children, my divorce and my life as a single mom. We dearly miss you ...your daily greetings....you were my shadow....your snuggles, kisses, purrs, loyalty to us always, rides in the car (oh how you loved to ride!). You will always have that one special place in my heart...it belongs to you alone.

Love, Shelley

She was a special little baby who could talk...and know what to say at the right time to right person...she was special and loving and innocent....she gave everything of herself to me and asked for so little...she was so innocent and pure...may she forever be free of pain and enjoy her freedom again....to play and be happy...

Cynthia Menke

BJ brought a smile to our faces in so many special ways....whether it was her excited tail-wagging against the front door upon your arrival home, or the way she would bowl you over because she wanted to kiss your face.
A beautiful friend to all, especially Sheri, and one that will never be forgotten.
Mom, Dad, Doreen, Chloe and Boomer miss you terribly.....Thank you for 8 special years and for the protection, love and many laughs.
Run and be free!

Doreen Davies

BJ, You are missed terribly by the ones who loved you! Just keep Uncle Vernon company until we all join you.

Howard Mac

B. J. My Dearest Friend,

I am so sad to see you leave, but at the same time I am very happy for you because you don't have to suffer anymore. Now I know you were fighting the disease quietly all by yourself. You were a good, strong boy! I am so proud of you!
I remember all the good times we had in last two years and my tears do not stop. Remember the first night at my house? Long walks around the neighborhood? Dog Park? (you never liked it...!) You always loved going driving with me and followed me everywhere I go. Your eyes brightened whenever I tossed your ball or showed your favorite treat, Pupperoni. I miss all these moments and will always cherish them in my heart.
Hope you are having a great time up there with treats and all. Maybe you are meeting up with your parents you were separated as a child. and, I know you are watching over me. Thank you again for bringing me such joy and love for past two years. Till we see each again, Love Always.

Yu Enomoto

Today, my Sister's 15 year old dog, B.J., had to be put to sleep. He had been bravely battling a very aggressive for of Cancer for the last several months. B.J. was a very sweet little dog--he never hurt anyone or anything. For 15 years, he provided my sister and her son with friendship and companionship. Everyone who ever met B.J. loved that little guy. I feel so bad about his passing and wish I could turn back the hands of time and make him alive and well and young again. Goodbye, sweet little dog, we love you and hope to see one day once again at the Rainbow Bridge. This place must truly exist because Heaven couldn't truly be Heaven without the animals. Surely, God must know this too so He created the Bridge as a place for all the animals to wait for their Special Person.

David Truitt

Such a tiny little thing! she gave us 12 days of love and joy.
We'll never forget her! Love, Brigitte, Colby, Sharon, Debbie, Brittany and Susan

Blackey, You owner did not want you and my cousin took you under her wing and finally you grew to trust her and warmed up to her. She said that you were one of the first ones at her door waiting to be fed. You would stand up and look into the door window. She fed you 3 times a day and sometimes more along with about 14 others. My cousin Linda and her husband Dick built you a house to stay warm in and she even bought a child's table so you could eat under it and not get wet. They miss you so much. I saw you go from a skinny cat to a good size cat. You touched alot of peoples hearts and they even gave her food for you. My Patches is at the Rainbow Bridge also, so you go find her and catch butterflies and play with no more worry or pain. Someday we will all be together playing with you. We all love you honey!

Walter Keller

Blackie was my best friend and faithful companion for 11 years, we took him to the vets yesterday with a cough, left him for tests and never saw him again, his stomach was riddled with cancer. He had never shown any pain and was still happy and following me everywhere, in fact he still behaved like a pup. He even slept next to me every night. I miss him and need him.

Anna Hibbert

Blackie "Gentleman Pussycat" - 05/17/2000

Blackie, born behind our bed 10 years ago, you were a noble and classy companion. You were a "gentleman" right to the end and it was difficult to say goodbye to you. You will always have a special place in our hearts.

Love, Diane Bill and Leo.

It has been just over one year since our wonderful little baby beagle Blackie passed away. We were blessed to have her as a part of our lives for almost 10 years and we will forever miss all of the joy and love she brought to our family.

We have learned that the void left by her passing will never be filled - but we are getting better at focusing on the happiness she gave to us instead of dwelling on that day last April when she was taken from us.

We just want to say that we will always remember and love you Blackie and pray that you have as much happiness now, where you are, as you gave to us.

Tim and Karen Conway

God, please take care of Blackiey for me, please give him lots of water, food, cardboard, and love.

We love and miss you Blackiey

Luv, W & J

My dear sweet Black Jack, I will live with the guilt of your death for the rest of my life. You did not deserve to die. You gave me so much during your time with me. The love I feel for you is stronger then death and you will live forever in my heart.

Cat

Jack, You have been my best friend for four wonderful years. Cancer made you so ill so quick that your daddy and I needed to ended your suffering. You became sick so quickly that I can't believe you are gone. You have been gone for only one day but my heart aches a lifetime for you. You were a credit to your breed with your sweet temperment and loving manner. I don't know what I will do without you. I'm still looking for you in your favorite spots to rest. You brought joy to our lives everyday. I cannot find the words to describe how my heart felt everytime I looked into your sweet little black face. Meet me at the bridge my darling fur face, meet me at the bridge. Your loving mommy and daddy

To our very "bestest" little buddy. We love you with all our hearts and cannot believe the emptiness and pain we feel since you've gone away. You've left a huge empty space than can never be filled. You were the joy of our lives and life will never be the same. We hope we gave you at least half as much love as you gave us.
Love you,
Mom and Dad

Velvet was my beautiful yellow green eyed kitty girl, with a soft glossy black coat of fur,
She was a gentle soul, who never hurt anyone.
Her sister, Jetta Betta, died one year ago this month. I hope they can now be together again.
I will always love her, remember her, and miss her.
"Goodbye Sweet Velvet"

Shirley Jones

I want you to come home. I don't want you to go anywhere else. I love you and miss you. I hope your not lonely. I kept your collar. It has your blood on it, I'll keep it forever. I hope you like the flowers and cross I made for you. Please come back!
I miss you and love you Ginny

She was what I came home to every night. Since I am not married yet, I don't have a family waiting for me. My house is absolutely empty without her. I had to put her to sleep due to probable cancer and struggle with that decision every day. I just hope she knows how much I loved her and what a huge part of my life she was. I pray to God that there is a heaven and she is there, happy and healthy once again.

Jennifer Blackwell

Blanche-
a.k.a.Blanchie, Baby Doll

was a beautiful orange stripped 17lb bundle of love. His purr was so loud you could hear it across the room and his disposition so sweet that even when he struggled with cancer for four years and numerous surgeries in hopes that the tumor would not come back, he was a happy, calm kitty. He was a baby doll who always watched out for his other feline buddy-Peppermint-and loved to sun himself in the back yard. He will never be forgotten and this beautiful green-eyed kitty is still missed dearly.

Rebecca

The amazing Blanchescula was 16 pounds of pure terrier (all heart), who has left a 200 pound void.

Kathy Muller

Blaze was Miss Personality Plus, who never forgot a face and was a friend to all. Always smiling and excited to see you as if to make you feel welcomed to her home. She could calm any dog around with her playfulness. Her dog friends were always excited to greet her in kind. She was the energy in our house and could always pick us up regardless of our mood. She brought out the best in everyone.

We loved her as much as any pet could be loved. Her passing has left a Grand Canyon size hole in our lives and she will be missed forever.

Dale & Nina Porteous

Illness took you away from us, Love Mommy

Hella Frazer

Every morning I would wake up and go outside, there you would be looking up at me ready to play. When I felt sad or unhappy you were always by my side to cheer me up and make me feel better. On days you wanted to come with me to a friends house there you were behind my bike. When we got there I would go inside my friends house. Hours later there you were, lying at the door step waiting for me. Now when I leave on my bike to go to a friends house I still see you when I turn around, following me. Even though you are gone I still love you Blondie, you good dog, my faithful companion.

July 3, 1992 a fuzzy little blonde chowchow puppy was born. Our blessed journey began July 18, 1992. This precious little bundle of love allowed us to become a part of her life, and she became Blondie Girl Huitt.
immediately, she was our protector, not only of our lives, but also our hearts. Her love never had boundaries or conditions.

Blondie, our day started eagerly because you were there with those soft brown eyes saying "I love you." At night we comfortably snuggled with you. It seems your love never stopped, even if we awoke in the middle of the night - you accompanied us to make sure of our safety. If it was sadness, you gently kissed away the tears; if it was fear, your body backed into ours to defend; if it was joy, your tail wagged your entire body. Your very presence at home, on trips or errands was happy and comforting. If we should get busy and you needed loving, we would feel a little paw-tap on our leg, look down and find those big brown eyes saying "I love you, I need you, do you need anything? Maybe a hug? " we received many hugs, kisses and embraces from your eyes, and always an unmistakable love spilling from you.
Blondie, your life taught us a love that we're not sure man nor woman, boy nor girl ever possess. We are in awe of your beauty, strength, love and commitment to us and all those who entered your life. To be included in your life by our touch, voice and treats are irreplaceable things for us. Our hugs to you and yours to us were priceless gifts. For seven years of our journey, we didn't know pain.
Our journey began to change January 10, 1999. The paw would tap our leg and those precious brown eyes would say " it hurts, can you help me?" As hard as we tried, it took us several doctors and until July 21 with a referral from your friend, dr. Creed to state veterinary college to find out that it was cancer. An amputation of your left arm would follow on august 12. There would be many radiation treatments and many trips to see dr. Creed, who became one of your best friends and biggest admirers. Through all this, we remember the day after your amputation, when you heard moms voice down the hall and you came running to share your love even though you were less than 24 hours out of surgery. After many hugs, kisses and through the tears, we marveled at your beauty and strength. We prayed and asked god to wrap his arms of comfort around this precious bundle. November 23 you began to lose your strength and on the 29th we were told the cancer had returned, this time to your lungs.
We were blessed with a wonderful Christmas; you opened and ate your present and were strong enough to go in and out by yourself and to enjoy visiting with your family.
January 1st, baby, you became very weak; we carried you or rode you in your wagon where ever we went and tried to hold your body close to ours. Your eyes always said the same " I love you." On January 10th, 2000 at 7:00 am you died in our arms. As our eyes locked, we both said we love you so much, I'm here for you. Even in death your last breath was drawn showing your love for us.
Sweetheart, the pain in our hearts at first was indescribable, now we know, because you're not here to hold close, to speak to and to see those soft brown eyes. We miss the way you turned your head back and forth as we talked, trying to understand every word. To see your whole body wag with joy. You were not dependent on us, it was us who were dependent on you. Blondie, dear, we love you and miss you very much - for eight years you kept our hearts and home warm. We are so glad that now you can run on all fours and play happily. We're so glad you are finally free of pain.
We know you miss us as we miss you, but we can meet at the rainbow bridge. So for now, run and play with your new furbaby friends until we can cross the bridge and hold you in our arms as we hold you in our hearts. Thanks for all your love and we are grateful for the rainbow bridge; a safe and wonderful place for you to wait for mom & dad. God bless you. Love forever, mom & dad

Jim & Arliece Huitt

Blu passed away on September 25, 2000. He died of Hydrocephalus, water in the brain. Little to our knowledge he was born with this and it progressed over time. Only one in a million cats have this and they live anywhere from 3 days to years. We were blessed to have Blu in our lives for almost 3 years.

Blu was a great friend, brother and companion. He will forever be in our hearts and our memories. He filled our days and nights with lots of joy and laughter. No other cat will ever take his place. His time here with us was short, but we enjoyed every minute of it. We will never forget your grin, big eyes, big paws and your fur so gray it was blue. We will never forget the way you looked as though you were going to say something any minute. We will forever remember you Blu! We love and miss you so very much! May you rest in peace. I am sure someday we will be reunited again.

We love you so much Blu!

Karen, Troy and Cooper

A special cat who gave a depressed, mixed up teen a reason to live. Blu Cat, thank you for saving me. Your love is the reason I'm ok. At a time when I felt so alone and so hopeless, you were placed in my lap. And when I looked into your beautiful eyes, I had a reason to believe again. It is your love the got me through those difficult times. And today, I look at my life, my husband who also loved you so, my little boy, who drove you crazy but you still loved, the baby ready to be born who made my lap so uncomfortable for you to lay, and me so glad I never did what those difficult times pushed me to want. You Blu, and you alone gave me a chance for this beautiful life. As more people came into my life there was less time for you. You never got angry. Instead, you made a new place for yourself in my life. We always found time to be together. It is that time that fills my heart today. It is the memory of you that makes me smile through my tears. I know you were sick and it was time for me to say good bye. So here I am with a forever empty place in my heart. Missing you and wishing I could hold you again. As I cry for you I know that you will never be forgotten. Thank you for the life you left behind for me to live. I love you Blu. Forever. Good bye my angel.

The Sisson Family

My best and truest friend, I will never forget you or the joy you brought to my life. I pray you are at peace and have found the most beautiful place to stretch your legs, full of enticing scents and many curious playmates. I love you forever and await the day I will see you again, and feel the weight of your head in my lap and I will keep you safe for all time.

Karyn

His full name was Elvis's Buddy Blue, but he was really Ron's Buddy Blue. Blue's strengths were loyalty and independence balanced by unconditional love and friendship. He could be an incredibly gentle animal in sharp contrast to his size and strength. Okay, he was a Bloodhound, so he was stubborn and persistent and loud. But we loved him for all those reasons. Blue will be missed by his family and fellow family pet of 10 years, Murphy.

The first time I saw Blue, he was following his mom across Hwy 74. Five minutes later, he was going home with me. He gave us three happy years. He was so sweet and child like; always close to home. He slept with us; he greeted us with his bubbly short meow. Sometimes before he was spoken to. He died from tick disease cytauzoonosis. An uncommon disease that is almost always fatal to cats killed an uncommon cat and he is missed terribly. Blue's passing answered some questions and taught me some lessons: People put flowers on graves for themselves, not for the deceased; To give more protection and care for my living cats; I realized my dream; I wondered if we should re-locate. Well the answer has been painfully clear since a piece of my heart was buried in the Southeast side of my yard in view of the bedroom window. We love you little Blue kitty!

Sandy

Blue, you were a very special dog. As I watched your big blue eyes slowly dim the unconditional love you gave us was still there till the end. I watched the pain leave your face as you relaxed into your final sleep and I knew that at last your pain was over. You will be missed by everyone.

Yvette Bulmer

Blue passed away on July 27,99, and waits at the Rainbow in Mechanicsburg. A wonderful greyhound who they had for five years, and I had him only one and a half. We will play again. popsgreys

To my friend, my buddy, my little boy. I will miss you always.

Gary

Blue showed me more unconditional love than I ever thought possible. I thank him for allowing me to be part of his life and adding so much to mine.

Karen W

I am so happy you where in my life for the past twelve years. I love you and will always think of you. You are my precious boy. I love you so much.

Dearest Bo,
You have been gone for just a day. I love and miss you SO MUCH! I even opened the door this morning to let you outside. I couldn't sleep without you hogging up my pillow. I already and will always miss your excited, tailwagging greeting, even if I was gone for 10 minutes! We have all left a little something on you grave. Did you hear the kids singing Candle In The Wind to you. You will forever be in my heart and soul. Someday we will play again. Your presence will always be in this house. WE ALL MISS YOU!! Rest in peace, my Sweet Bo, rest in peace! (I got out my scrap book and found a copy of this that I submitted when Bo died. I just added my dog Tobi to the list and wanted to re-add Bo.) Bo, you didn't know Tobi. He died yesterday 07-08-00 because of cancer, too. I know you and Brandy will find him and keep each other company. Someday you 3 will be with me again.

Anita Dugger

Bo,

You were the most incredible friend and member of our family. Your beautiful face and wonderful personality will forever be missed. You brought so much joy to our lives, and we can't believe you're gone. Life is very empty without you. Thank you for giving us so much love over your short life, and thank you for being such a good friend to our son. Nobody made him laugh like you did. We will always love and miss you. There will never be another like you.

Judiann and Steve Johns

Saying goodbye to such a tender hearted, loyal friend like Bo was one of the hardest moments of my life. I just wanted to let the world know what a sweet, sweet dog that Jesus now has. I miss my sweet Bo-Bo everyday. Take care of him, Lord, until I may cross the Rainbow Bridge to join him again.

Lori and Alex

Until we meet again Bo, we love you. So long pal. :-(

Pat and Jerry Llewellyn

He was the bestest of cats and I miss him so.

Kim Rivers

My sweet angel--thank you for 18 beautiful and loving years. Enjoy your nice long nap. I so love you. Life is hard without you.

Heather

Best Dog ever

Sibylle

Bob & Newt, you were dearly loved and sadly missed. As we go about our daily tasks, so much reminds us of you. You were our children, the center of our lives. Knowing we will see you again on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge makes our loss bearable. You gave us so much love and joy. You make our lives complete.

Gaylon & Gladys Kennedy

Bobbi came to us last year from a family broken apart by separation. She gave my family so much,love. She was my friend a true friend that I've never really felt from a animal. She was my companion who seen me through the loss of a job, venturing a new business for our family. She was always there for me during my sad days & happy ones. I miss her so much. I've lost both of my parents,and my first child, I know the feeling of loosing people that were close.
I always felt Bobbi was my little angel sent to me to help fill the hole in my heart, now she is gone. She became sick and died shortly thereafter. I sure hope she will be there to meet me at the Rainbow Bridge. I hope she knows I love here and always will. I hope she will be there for me one day with her blond hair flying, and her little tongue poking out of her mouth running to meet me. She loved to play in my Liriope grass which I never cared if she did keep if flat, loosing so many in my life I realized nothing is here for ever, so Bobbi I'm gonna plant you some at your grave site I hope your can see it. I love you so much & will miss you. love Renee your second mom

Renee Tippett

I love you Bobbie, I'm sorry. Take care of Baby.

Michelle Gagnier

Bobbie Cat, you will never be forgotten, you went so fast that there was nothing anyone could do. I will always love you and cherish you baby Bobbie. I have wonderful memories of you, but I would give anything to hold you again. We will be together again someday, just meet me on the rainbow bridge.

I love you Bobbie cat....till we're together again, be good for God.
Love you forever
Mom, J.R. Peanut, Zak, Cowboy
Smokey, Duchess, & Munchkin

I never knew that ANY animal could steal my love like you Bobby! You were always so special, so loving, so affectionate, and sweet, no one could believe how you would let us hold you in our arms like a baby, face up and rub your tummy, you loved to be brushed, and always begged for more. The Vet told us after a "CAT FIGHT" it's a darn shame that only the nice ones get beat up, but that wasn't the worst for you Bobby, you were a stray who didn't have your shots, and because of that, you are now at the BRIDGE after a very tough fight with FELINE LEUKEMIA. I hope nobody ever has to suffer with their pet through something so terrible, PLEASE get your pets vet checked, get them their shots! It's a lesson I wished I had never had to learn like this! We miss Bobby, and know that he is at peace now ... we had to let him go, we had to choose for him, and not allow him to suffer another day, when I took him to the vet he seemed to be so at peace, and he was the one who got me through that day! Until we meet again Bobby, I love you! :) Jane

Bobby was a very special and brave dog. He was originally my Nan & Grandads dog.He was Grandads companion when my Nan passed away, and was with Granadad when he too died. He then went to live with his brother Billy, for the last two years of his life.
He suffered many illness.s, from cataract, to fits until finally heart trouble. He was an energetic little dog, always ready for a game, grabbing any thing you dropped.
Now when we drop things we still say "quick Bobby".
We all miss his little games. He was a real fun dog
Now he is reunited with his mummy and daddy and his suffering is over
God bless BOB
with love from us all
xxxxxxxxxx

Jean & Alan, Tracy & Michelle

For dear Bobby bob cat. I loved you so much. I am so sad that you are gone. I loved how you would play fetch and give me little kitty kisses. You were the light of my life. I love you so much.

Laura Hesser

Bobear was my best friend. She was so loving and protective. I miss her terribly. Goodbye, my friend. Love, Mom.

BoBo died of cancer on the 29th. She was loved by all that new her. Her parents, Donna and Kevin gave her a good home. BoBo will be missed by all.

We just got back from putting Bo-Bo to sleep. He was my little fur-baby brother. Carl & I bought him for my Daddy in 1985. It was love at first sight for both of them. Bo-bo was the best little buddy anyone could ever have. He was smart, loved everyone and never complained. A few years ago, he developed ulcers on his left eye. We cared for his eyes the very best we could (even Bo-Bo's vet said so)! And we kept his sight for several more years. Then about three years ago, he suddenly lost sight in his other eye - leaving him virtually blind. He grieved over his loss for a few days, and my Dad debated on having him put to sleep then. But on the advice of our vet, we gave him some time and he learned to adapt to his "handicap". He was so good - people who didn't know he was blind never had a clue. Daddy always said he "hoped" Bo-Bo outlived him so he wouldn't have to deal with losing him. He got his wish - as we lost my Dad two years ago last Thanksgiving. It was hard to make the decision to let Bo go - but he had developed more health problems and there does come a time when it doesn't do any good to try to keep them with us. I take great heart - even thru all these tears I'm shedding over him now - in knowing that my Daddy probably met Bo-Bo at the Rainbow Bridge this evening and they are having a great time right now.

Thank you Bo-Bo - for being the best "little brother" in the world. Know that your legacy lives on in Bubba, Krystal, and Jasper. You were much loved and will remain in our hearts forever, old man.

Carl & Billie Sue Barnes

Good bye friend. It seems like yesterday was the day I brought you home. You have been the best companion a girl could have. Someone to tell secrets to and know no one else would know. You where such a good listener. I will miss cuddling with you. I love you and there will be no other like you.
Until we meet again friend
love,
Jennifer

Boggs will be truly missed by many. He was a special kind of guy. He had Laryngeal Paralysis and survived after his operation for a little over a year. He was elegant and certainly a king of kings in the poodle world. I've attached his picture so you can see what I mean.

Reggie Hammond

To Bogie
A loving dog and faithful friend for 12 years.
Your pain is gone, your energy is back and you can run free through the apple orchards until we meet again.

Kim for my friend Janet

I love you so much and will join you soon on the Rainbow Bridge.

Ingrid H. Ravel

I was lucky to have Bean for the short time I did. He helped me through the worst time of my life. I'll always miss him.

Debra E

I will miss my dear friend so much, I don't understand why God took you away so soon from me, but I can't wait to see you again. You were my baby boy and Mommy will always love you. So for now , run , jump and play as much as you can, one day mommy will meet you at the rainbow bridge and then I will be able to hold you and kiss you again. I miss you so much Bon Bon, it is so hard not having you with me anymore, I miss your face, your mew's, just everything about you, it hurts so much inside, my heart is empty now . God please take care of my cat, I love him so much and miss him so dearly.

Denyse Rhodes

Bond - I'm sorry you could only be with us for a few short months. The time we spent together was beautiful, and you will always have a very special place in my heart. I know that the love you gave our family greatly outweighed the mistakes you made with other people - I only wish that we had been there to teach you love from the start of your life so that you were better at handling new situations and new people. I always tell everyone what a wonderful and loving dog you were with the people you knew - and that is how I will always remember you. Your sister Emily misses you like crazy and keeps checking your kennel to see where you are. In a few years she will join you at the bridge so the two of you can wrestle and play again. I can't wait until the day that I too will meet you at the bridge - I'll give you all the tummy rubs you can handle and you can lick my face to your heart's content! Bond - the house is sure quiet without you - I still cry everytime I think of you. I hope you know that we sent you to the bridge because we love you with all our hearts and couldn't bear to see you be so scared all the time. I'm glad our last night together was so special. I wish I could have taken more time to say our final goodbye - a lifetime would have been just about enough time. I miss you Bondie-Boy.

Jennifer Wood and Warren Jansons

Bones was a great best friend. When my husband was away he was always there for me to make sure i was safe and had company. Bones was our son who will be truely missed. Hopefully someday we will see him again. I hope he is at the rainbow bridge and he finds his candle lit for him. It hurts so much to say good bye so i'll say till we meet again. Love always your mom! Xoxoxoxox

Alex & Tolani Franks

Bongo lives in our hearts forever, she is our special angel waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. She will be forever missed!!! We LOVE you our sweet Bongo (geegee)!!!

Jeff, Sancia & Sara

You passed on so suddenly. I still can't believe in my heart you are gone. You have brought so much joy, so much love to our little family. You were one of the boys in my heart, I commonly bragged through the years that you were my "middle son". I feel as if my heart has been ripped out of my chest. I love you so very much Bonkers, and I can't wait to see you at the Rainbow Bridge. You will be so missed by me (mom), Jacob, and Caleb (your human brothers). We love you Bonkers. I don't want to let you go yet, but you are already gone from us. I will miss you so much. I love you.

Goodnight, God bless, Bonnie, our little miracle dog, you will be forever missed, and always remembered in our hearts. Love Mummy, Daddy, Janice and Gillian xoxoxo

She died alone and in pain....... I feel so guilty for that. But, I know I did all I could.... I couldn't have done anything differently.
By the time she came home the poison had already done enough damage to kill her.. there was nothing I could have done.
We were going to take her to the vet... but she chose to leave and passed away in a nearby garden.
She knew she was dying..... maybe she left to try and spare me the pain of seeing her that way.

Alison Wilkes

Bonnie was hit by a car sometime early this morning. She was wonderful cat, and will be missed by all of us, especially my son. I will keep her memory in my heart forever. I loved her so much.

Rhonda Rondeau

Dear Bonnie,
You touched the lives of everyone that knew you. And now that you are gone you are greatly missed, but never forgotten. There are not enough words to express how much we love you. You will always be in our hearts.

The Voytilla Family

To Bonnie:

You guided me quietly through 15 years and gave me love and comfort in my times of need. The hardest thing I ever had to do was take you from home and help you get rid of your pain. You were so tiny and so quiet, when the time came, you slipped quietly from my life and from your pain. I held you and cried, tears of heart rendering pain, but I know you are well and now your sister has joined you in heaven, please take care of each other till the day comes when I can be there.
I love you Bonkers

Rhonda

My little lap warmer -- I loved you dearly and when life was no longer worth living for you I elected to end your suffering.
Rest, now, devoted little friend, among the pines by the pond. I will visit you often and will never forget the 13 wonderful years you and I had together.

Dee Glover

What a joy your whole life has been and how sorely you are missed my Bonnie Girl - thank you for the privilege of being my partner. I will miss you always. May you journey now to your destiny with all my love and gratitude. You are forever my Bonnie Girl.

Michael Glover

So long to my best friend. You were the best, so full of life, love and joy. You left this world far too young. But you were called and you went. To give your love and joy else where up in heaven. You will be sadly missed by all and never forgotten. Farewell my little loved one.

A very special cat that had so much love to give always.

Pepper Mille'

"Bunny" was such a treat an instant pick me up to any day. I often found myself lost in her big brown eyes and couldn't resist smiling at the ever twitching little nose. From the way in which she cleaned her ears, or flopped on her side for an afternoon nap to the way in which she suckled her water bottle. I miss her so much ... Her unconditional love and endearing mannerisms can never be forgotten or replaced.

Heather

Bonzer was the child of our hearts.
He was his Mommy's little boy and his Daddy's bestest lil buddy. He was Matilda's loving mate and Sophie's big brother.
Bonzer was the most loved, best little boy ever. He was so smart and so loving and caring and protective.
Bonzer will be in our hearts forever, having gone on before us into the DreamTime, we know he will be waiting for us. We love you, our beautiful boy, Bonzer.

Pamela & Paul, and Matilda and Sophie Niles

My dearest Bonzo, You bought me so much joy during the years we spent together, these times I will never forget. You were more than a dog to be me you were my best friend and you will remain in my heart forever. I'll never forget our walks together and all the attention you used to get from people passing by, even now people ask about you which sums up what a loved dog you were by not only me and the family but by all your friends. During your illness with cancer you were so brave even to the very end, I know you know I was there with you, hugging you and reassuring you until the vet put you to sleep. I'll never forget you Bonzo and I know one day we will be reunited together forever.

Christine Walker

We loved you so much Boo. Cotton will meet you at the bridge. I love you with all my heart. So does Joanna.

Melissa

Boo I miss you Hella

You were simply the best..with me for more than half my own life. Always waiting to greet me each time I came home and each morning when I awoke. You were by my side for each stage of my life and I could not have loved you more. We were brought together that hot summer day, you as a stray and me in need of some love and comfort. We were perfect for each other and you were the perfect cat. I love you and miss you and hope you know that. It was my absolute pleasure and honor to know you and to share my life with you. Sweetest and dearest Boobette.

Kerry Harrington

Boo was a beautiful kitty. She had the softest fur. She was very independent. But she was my kitty. I was lucky to have her for a long time but I miss her so much. It broke my heart to see her so ill. I keep thinking I see her. I cannot get to used to not having her presence in the house. We were together for a long time. I loved her.

Dawn

I was there the day you were born. You were the light of my life. I miss you so much my chest hurts. I walk up the stairs and look for you still. You left me so suddenly. I hope you felt no pain. I wish I was there for you at that moment. I just can't seem to forgive myself for not knowing you need me. Where did my soft cuddle boy go? You were my baby.......I wasn't done yet, one year was not enough I miss you angel baby

Paige Connelly

I valued your free spirt-my special Boo Man. I loved you with all of my heart and always will. You helped me look at the stars and go after my dreams. Run free, my friend. I will look for you in the stars every night.

Love you!
Mommy-Mama, Duke and Ebony

I love you cat. You were my special friend and I'm sorry you had to suffer with cancer. I miss you so much I hope you are are on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Paula White-Reddy

In memory of a very special cat. He was a throw away highway cat who took a very special place in my heart at the age of 6 weeks. Boobie, originally named Aberdeen, died peacefully in my arms at the age of 20. Pie Shop, Willie, Teddy, Harold, Calypso, Elliot and Biko miss him as I do. The Pie, also 20, has lost a lifelong companion. Rest in peace my sweet Boobie. Life is not the same without you. I am so happy I told you it was O.K. to leave me. I am sure it made the transition easier for you. God Bless you sweet Boobie. I love you!

Diane Clarke

Boo-Boo we only had a chance to share four days together before you went to join your sisters, Harvey, Sandy and MiSTie. Hope you have fun together at the Big Hamster Wheel in the Sky. Can hardly wait until we can share a bowl of popcorn again. Lots of love to Mommy's "Girl's" until we are together again. Rosie

BooBoo was a great friend and companion. I will miss her and long to be with her again on the other side. Thank you, BooBoo, for all your love and fond memories. May you rest in peace. Look for me soon.

Paula Molnar

Boo Boo was the most gentle of cats. His favourite friend was a pet mouse named 'Timmykins'.
He would let Timmy cuddle into his fur and would lick him ever so gently, as if he was a kitten.
When Timmykins died, he was grief stricken and refused food for two days, all the time looking for his little friend.
He loved to listen to music, and would sit purring when I played the piano.
When the end came, I knew he wanted to go, and I got the vet to come to the house, so he wouldn't be distressed by the car trip. [He hated driving]
He was with me for so long, and I still miss him, after all this time. The grief eases with time, but the love never ends.
His devoted doggy friend, Lisa, has joined him and Timmykins now, and I hope my belief in the 'hereafter' is not a pipe dream, because I couldn't bear never to see, and hold them again.

Boo Boo, Timmykins and Lisa, your Audie misses you!

I am so sad, my lovely Boo Boo passed away. I remember the first moment I saw my precious Boo Boo, it was in October 16, 1995 at about 11:30PM, she was so helpless and weak, just a few weeks old, so precious and sweet and in the same way my little innocent baby left me, on October 16, 2000 at about 11:40AM very helpless and weak. I am praying/hoping/wishing that you are in a better place now my charming little one! I will always miss you and I will always love you!
I love you Boo Boo! I love you too much to put in to words!

Hella Frazer

I Still Remember the first time we got you. You were so Pretty, and still very playful for being 6 yrs old. I didn't think you would get along with the kitties but you did....You fit right in. I am thankful that the last year in you life you finally had a huge yard to run and play in. I thought u still had a few years left in you, I would have never thought you would pass away that day. I wish I was there with you when u did. I am so very sorry that I was not. You will b sadly missed by everyone. Things just won't b the same anymore with out you by our side all the time. Your girlfriend Princess misses you so much as do all the kitties.
Love always~your playmates~Princess, Pretty, Smokey, Dusty, Crazy, Lexy, Taco,and Spencer.
Love always~Mommy, Daddy, Kara, Ashlee, Uncle Joey and grandmom Taggie.

She was a wonderful cat, she lived a long happy life. She was a tough cat, up until the end. I will miss her dearly, she was my child before I had children. She always was there for me. My life is a little less full without her. Now, my son, Jeremy, who died in January, can take care of her till I meet both of them again.
"Why did you vanish into empty sky?
Even the fragile snowflake, when it falls
Falls in this world."

I want her to be best remember as a loving dog that never made a squeak never got into trouble and she always wanted to be loved. I want God to keep her and wherever she is I hope she is running free.

Cindy

Boo Boo, I miss you. You've been gone a long time and I still think about you everyday. You were the best cat I could ever have and I don't think I'll ever forget you.
I hope that you are watching me from heaven, my Boo-ba-doo. I still hear your purr in my mind. Thank you.

Rebecca Maxwell

In loving memory of our dear friend BooBoo. You brought us joy, laughter, calmness, and many loving & funny memories. All you really wanted from us was a hug & kiss and some play time. You gave us so much more back. We will miss you very much dear friend. May you rest in peace. Your memory will live on inside of our hearts. Good-bye my BooBoo. We love you and you will be in our hearts always.

Gary, Cheryl, JP, Zachary, Nathan Zeller

The day I met you baby Boo there were a room full of others like you, but you ran to me. I knew then that you owned a place in my heart. You slept right in my face at night and joined me every time I went in the bathroom. And my life is so much lonelier without you. I loved you till the very end as much as I do now and I know that you felt the same. Thanks for letting me know, Boo, that what I was doing for you was okay. I can't wait to cuddle with you again. Look down, baby boy. and you will see me looking back at ya.......Love Ya Boo!!

Trish

I got Boo Boo as a gift. I have no clue when he was born, but he will be deeply missed. The cause of death was undetermined, but the vet thinks it may have been some kind of a cancer. I really miss you, but I know that you're in a better place now with Tweety, Nike, and my grandfather. I'm sorry for things that I may have done at sometime that may have annoyed you or bothered you. Please forgive me. I love you Boo Boo.

Tribute to Boo-Boo:  
I remember when I first saw you. I knew at that moment I loved you. You were always full of life, and you had a stubborn streak that no creature could match. You and your sister would always look out for each other, which included beating up any dog that dared to come into your yard. You used to sneak through my window at night, and sleep on my bed, then you would sneak out the next morning before I woke up. I always knew you had been there because of the white fur left on my pillow. You would lay on my shoulders as I rode my bike up and down the street. I have so many memories of you. I feel so blessed to have spent almost 16 years with you. I'm so sorry you got sick. I tried everything I could to make you well, but I couldn't take the illness and pain from your body. The only thing I could do for you was to set your soul free. I know your in a better place now. And I know you'll be waiting for me. I will never forget you, my beloved Boo-Boo.

Nikki Rapp

The sweetest gift, was the day Brenda found you. She brought you home almost dead, you had been washed away by a cold November storm, stuck in the mud. she saved you, about two weeks old, you needed a mom, so I nursed you back. Love at first sight it was for you and I. When I would cry you always knew something was wrong and would run and jump all 20 pounds on top of me purring, loving until I could cry no more, but laugh and smile at your sweetness. so now I cry for you, and the crying last long, because you are not here to stop me. I wish I could hold you so the crying would stop. I love you. mom

Lesa Boswell

Her name was BooBoo Kitty. She was born on 9-13-88. She passed on 11-17-00. She was a gray tabby cat with beautiful green eyes. She lived with Donna Mozingo in Wimberley, Texas. She was so very sweet and loving. She will be missed for a long, long time.

Goodbye, my special Boo-Doggie. Please forgive me for not being able to watch your suffering anymore. You wanted to stay by my side forever, and how I wanted you to. We tried everything that would not cause you more pain. How you fought and tried to hide your hurt from me. Thank you for all our years together, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Boogie, aka Boogie Board, Boo-Boo, Boogster, Mimine, Le Chat, Cutie Pie, Sweetie, Babes, Hon'...

Here's to thanking you for bringing so much joy into my life. You always knew how to cheer me up when I felt blue. The house fills so empty and quiet without you around. I can feel your spirit around though. I'm so glad you shared my life for the past five years. You were a very special companion, so devoted, so loving, and so full of life until the end. I miss you tremendously. Rest peacefully. I love you, Boo.

Christel Varenne

To my dearest friend in the world. You are so missed and loved. Run free my little girl.

To Boo,

Thank you for the 3yrs of love and companionship that you shared with Miss Skitter Kitty & I. You will be greatly missed.

We know that you're now our "Guardian Angel"

J L Durham

Boomer - It's been 5 months since you died and I still miss you daily. Memphis cried for you for weeks, you were her lifetime companion who was suddenly gone, she didn't understand why. I still don't understand why. You left so quickly. Forgive me, Boomer, for not being able to save you, I feel so guilty, I think your death was my fault. We have two new cats now, so Memphis is no longer alone, but they're not you - we will never have another cat with your happy personality, your incredible love for us and Memphis, your sweet, sweet ways. I pray that someday you and I will meet again, and that when I make my way over to the Other Side you, Tigger, Cocoa, Negra and Smokey will run to greet me. Until then, my beloved favorite kitten, sleep in peace, I only had you on earth for 15 years but hope to have you for eternity elsewhere. Please forgive me. - mutti

Steve Vincent

Boomer was my best friend. I can't believe he's gone. Our family didn't choose him; he chose us. He showed up at our house, just a few weeks old, a victim of flea have ever made. He was so ill and just needed to rest. I know intellectually that allowing him to sleep was the right thing to do, but my heart is broken. I miss my friend, but I will cherish his memory and our good times forever. Thank you Boomer for choosing us.

Craig R. Christiansen

Our dearest Boom,

Where do we begin to thank you for the love you've given us? For 12 wonderful years you've shared the triumphs and tragedies of our lives. Many of those tragedies affected you deeply - Hurricane Andrew bringing the house down around us (especially with your fear of storms), and worst of all the deaths of Becky, your human mommy, and of Grandpa Kralik last year. Yet how joyous it must have been for you to be greeted by them at the Rainbow Bridge! Grandpa must have been right next to your mom with a hotdog in his mouth to feed you! They've both been waiting for you, along with your furfriends Mikey, Cinnamon, Kela, Noel, Fred, Ivan, and Charlie. Oh what fun you'll have together!
Sweet Boomer, we hope and pray that we gave you a good life. Your three human siblings, Suzi, Missy and Andrew, each had a tender relationship with you. But you and Andrew had a very special bond. He was the only one you actually grew up with. Remember how he always let you sneak into bed with him after dad fell asleep?! That treasured and precious relationship lives on.
Thank God (doG) that you passed peacefully in your sleep and that you didn't suffer a long illness or horrible accident. Your last evening was spent with Daddy and Coco, whom you couldn't wait to see (especially since she gives you good treats!). Your legacy lives on through Boomer #2, your furfriend, who Coco named after you.
It helps Daddy to know that you and your Mommy are together - it helps all of us. Take care of your mom, as we know she'll take care of you. Frolic and play until, one by one, we each meet you at the Bridge. Know how much we all miss you, sweet girl. Your life and your death reminded us of how much you loved us, how much we loved you, and how much we love each other.

Forever in our hearts,
Daddy

Coco & Boomer #2 (your namesake)

Boomer was an absolutely wonderful dog who was taken ill at much too young of an age. He was beautiful inside and out. He was loved by all and is sorely missed by his family, friends, his antagonist and pet-mate Idgie and his cat Jake who used to accompany him for his nightly walks. I am sooo sorry Boomie and I miss you.

Mum

I just wanted to say that Boomer was my best boy, my Boombox, my Baby Boomer. He was the sweetest, friendliest, most loving cat I have had in 33 years of sharing my life with felines; his nickname, bestowed by a friend, was 'World's Friendliest Kitten'. Please, God, let Boomer sit in your lap sometimes, and Boomer, I hope you're dancing right now in Heaven. Wait for me, you and all my other sweet cats who have so enriched my life. I miss you, I love you.

To our Little Angel Boomer,
We will love and miss you forever! You were taken from us so unexpectedly that we didn't get a chance to say goodbye, or to kiss your little kissing spot. In our hearts we know that you had one of the best days Up North doing all of your favorite things. You wondered off in search for us but we were there all along! We will always remember your love you have given us these past 6 1/2 years. We can only hope that we did the best in showing you the love and joy that you have brought to our lives. Not a day will go by without you in our thoughts and memories. We will do everything we can to help your sister Sadie through this hard time. We will be strong for her and encourage her to continue to live her life to the fullest! Until we all meet again in that very special and happy place…
Love, Momma and Daddy

To Boomer from your Mommy,
You were my Heart. I will love and miss you always. I miss you so very much.

Love,
Mommy

Run free, good friend...happy and healthy. Thank you for your unconditional love. Thank you for your loyalty. Thank you for your dignity. You will never be forgotten!!

Dee

My Sweet Boomer,  
We all miss you so. You were the center of our family. Everyone loved you and we'll always love you. I have such an ache in my heart when you are not there, reaching your paw our for food, running back and forth and into the paperbag, playing with Jack. Boomie, You left so suddenly. I believe you were called, needed somewhere. You brought heaven to us, to my heart every time I looked at you or touched you, my precious man. We know that you are happy in a place that is "so open, so beautiful" and we rejoice for your joy and your expansion into the dimensions of beauty, peace, love and light that we all will join one day. We miss you Boomer, we love you always.  
We all miss you deeply. And always love you. You enriched our lives so.

Boopie was a fighter to the end, never giving up. He was one of a kind.
Cast aside from his mother he was hand raised by me and thusly this little guy was more than just a new puppy. A puppy that was never supposed to live, his heart. desires and strength has been a lesson to all who knew him to never give up.
All the days of my life I will be grateful for anytime on earth I was blessed to be with this wonderful little dog. His presence here will never be forgotton and sorely missed. Rest in People Little Guy. We ALL loved you very much.

Boopies Mom - Marty

Debbie Fox

My baby boy. You were so very special to us, our baby. The house is so quiet without your big meows. Every corner of the house reminds us of you. Your chair, the cable box where you slept, your empty food bowl. It is difficult to sleep without you curled up between us purring loudly. Daddy misses your special game. No one could have ever imagined how special to us you really were. Our hearts are heavy. Our lives more empty. We love you more than words can express. And we miss you more than anyone can imagine. Until the day we can again be together, we miss you. We will love you forever and pray that you will watch over us.
Love and Kisses
Mommy & Daddy

Boots-So many years of happiness you gave to us. You came to us in need and stayed for 11 years. We came to love you more than we every imagined. We love you and miss you. A day does not go by that we don't remember you. You crosses the "Rainbow Bridge" and I know we will see you again.

Nancy Poling

My special little "Boots" became my quick favorite when I saw him!

Dropped off at the farm in a box full of kitties...I nursed you to health, I played with you and cuddled you...and you stole my heart! I didn't have you very long, but that didn't matter, as you were so sweet and loving that no length of time would have made a difference on how much I loved you!

You have secured a place in my heart right from the start and at the very least you had known love and cuddles before you left this earth...and now you will be waiting on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge because you know someone who loves you will come again to cuddle you...have fun my little Boots.. meow loud, jump and hop and run like the wind as now you are free as a kitty can be!

Love Mommy Christie

Our first dog ever, you changed our lives forever. The long walks in the woods, the friends we made together, the way you became part of us, the fun things we did together; we think and talk of you often. You paved the way for Misty and now Daisy. Your father and I miss you so very much. Today I took your ashes to be placed in a proper urn instead of the box in which came home to us. I think you will be proud. I hope you and Misty have found each other at Rainbow Bridge by now and have become friends and play together. Until we meet again. Love, your people.

I remember when we went to put up the ad to find Boots a home. Little did we know that our son followed later and took down the ad we had put up at the supermarket. That was 15 years ago. He passed in my arms on Dec. 29, 1999.  
We never realized that such a little guy could take up so much of our hearts.  
We miss you little man and we love you so much.

Mom, Dad & Dan

In tribute of the best friend I ever had Boots. Boots born 3-21-84 died 11-26-99 at 12:47 of liver cancer. Boots went very peaceful in my arms. Boots wanted to stay with me but his body had grown sick and he had to leave me behind. Boots will live in my heart for the rest of my life. I hope Boots is waiting for me at the Bridge.

Martha Cannon

Bootsie born 1982 died 08-03-99 This is the mom to Muffie and a special tribute to her also she was also our very special loved kittie. She loved running the home and being with us. We loved and miss her so much. She found me and didn't leave. I took her in and two weeks later she gave birth to five babies. We kept the two little girl kitties and had them and mom fixed. (I had never had a cat in my lifetime and am now in my late 60's) Tara is still with us and is missing her mom and sister.

Bob and Jan Frische

Mommy's heart is broken into a million pieces. Nothing will ever put it back together. I will never be the same again without you my "Sweet Precious Baby Booty". Mommy misses you so much Booty. I know you miss me too, and are wondering where I am? Mommy will be with you again Booty. I will see you at the Bridge. Love, Hugs, and Kisses Mommy !

Loyal friend for 18 years, highly intelligent if a bit demented. You will be sorely missed.

Lyn Graybill

Dear Boris,

We only had you for a little over two years, but during that time we loved you so much! Thank you for being there for me when I was alone in LA, you gave me so much love and joy--it was wonderful that you always came to the door to greet us, and never refused an open lap or an invitation to be petted. We will miss how you drank out of the sinks and toilet, how you could walk on your hind legs, and how much you loved to play and watch other animals outside. I am glad I was with you when you died so suddenly, but I still feel terrible that I could not save you. Please know that we miss you so much, and we will always love you.

Enjoy heaven, and say Hi to your brother Puck for us.
Love, Amy and Jason

Oh how we are hurting this evening, Boris. You were a member of our family for less than a year, but it feels like we have had you warm out hearts for years. Why does it hurt so much? Why do things like this happen? We will miss you forever. We hope that enjoyed being a part of our family and that you felt our love.

Dan, Colleen, Brandon, Mikayla, Laura, Meagan, Myranda and Mercedes

We'll love you always!!!

In loving memory of our beloved companion. He was devoted, loyal, caring, patient, and exceptionally tolerant of humans and canines. He is greatly missed.

Mark, Krista, Maddie

Bosco, Thank you for letting us love you! You are so beautiful. I would love to be able to see your new beautiful wings and watch you soar over the Rainbow Bridge.

We LOVE and MISS you SOOOOOO MUCH!!!
Your parents for eternity,
Shelli and Jo

Bosco was there for me whenever I needed a friend. In the last 18 months I have lost my mom my nephew and my best human friend. Through all of this you stayed by my side. Bosco I love you. Love Daddy

Thank you my little Bosco for bringing such joy into my life. Your stay was so short but I guess Angles are just sent to us for a while. Thank you for your unconditional love. I will always think of you and talk about you and tell "Bosco" stories. And I will love you forever!

Ronni

We were blessed to have you join us in this life Bo. For that, we smile. Great memories of you will always be with us & we look forward to seeing you again at Rainbow Bridge. You are loved for always.

Paul & Georgellen Gormley

He was my best friend, ever. Deeply missed.

Boston although you were only here a short time you made a huge impact on my life. You were such a sweet puppy so cute and full of life. I know that one day we will all be together again my sweet little boy. Everytime I get on the computer I think of you and all the hours we spent together playing games . You were a great friend and I will never forget you my little boy.

Love,
Dad (Jerry)

Bosun, My Precious Girl, you were the best of cats...insolent, strong, loving, gentle, funny and the love of my life. Our family is not complete without you. You will be loved and missed forever. Your mom.

This is a tribute to BOURBON who was owned by Julie.
When other people thought Bourbon was a funny looking puppy sitting in that cage at the Pet store, Julie thought he was beautiful and couldn't help herself and had no choice but to take him home.
Her parents protested when they found her hiding him in her room but Bourbons charm and gentle manner won them over.
Bourbon shared many years with Julie seeing her through boyfriends, college, moving, and finally her marriage and the birth of her two children.
Bourbon will be missed by all that knew him.
We'll see you on the other side old buddy.
Thanks for everything.
Love Julie, Frank, Hannah , and Alex

for Julie, love Jenny

My little Bowie passed away suddenly Tuesday Morning. I knew when I woke that something was wrong I went down stairs and looked in on his favorite bed and he was all stretched out not moving. I called his name and went over to him he was still warm, he had just died. I went upstairs to get my husband and we cried and screamed together. Bowie was a great cat he was lovable and was a great companion for our Golden Retriever Toby. He is missed so much, he had a heart attach and he was only 3 years old. Dr. Nashe said he was born with cardiomyopothy and he never showed any symptoms he died playing on the bed with his mouse next to him and suffered no pain.

I need to find another companion for us and our dog Toby although non one can ever replace our BOWIE!!!!!!!

Deb Wienckowski

Bowser I miss you so much. you were the best dog I ever had. I know your up with God know. I guess it was your time to go up to God. I know someday I'll get to see you again. I'll never forget you.
XOXOXoXo LOVE,
your Family

My sweet little baby Boy, the house is now so empty without you. You'll never greet me at the door when I come home now. You know that other than me, mummy also miss you very much? I really hope you are happy and safe where you are now. Think of me, the way I think of you everyday. I will never understand why you have to leave so soon, but do wait for me, I'll come for you one day. When we meet again, we'll never part again. I love you Boy.

Elaine

Desi Monceaux

Boy was a loving, playful, big, goofy (not too bright) dog. He was a stray who hopped into my car in April of 1990 after I'd been to a Women's Take back the Night Ralley. I miss him already. He'll always have a place in my heart.

Becky Katz

Bozo was not just a clowns name. Bozo was loved as if he was one of our children. He developed a cancer and even though he was in great pain, he never ceased to purr when held and stroked. We miss you buddy. Norm and Dawn

Bozo was the best dog he would be their for me when I needed him.

Ginny Samdahl

Brady,
You are sorely missed by Toby and I. Our heart's are broken and we yearn for you. Your death is not in vain my dear. So many people are working to uncover the truth behind your death. Thank you for the messages you have given to let us know you are with us and thank you for making your brother happy every now and then, even though I worry about him so much. He cries for you Brady, as well as I do.
Love,
Mom

Please go into my web site at "http://www.qualitybrokers.com/brady.htm". You will see such an outpouring of love it will bring tears to your eyes that have not left mine.

Karin Lafreniere

Brady we miss you and love you. Your memory lives on with us always

Rebecca, Jennifer, Stephen,

He was my rock - my foundation. Whatever stress I coped with during the week, I knew weekends would have us running and romping through the woods - and I could handle any problems in my life. (As he became a senior citizen, strolls and swimming in a lake became our home). Right now pain is unbearable and intolerable. What saves me from the pain of his loss? The main comfort for this is realizing that he never really was MY dog. He was God's dog - on loan. And it was time for him to go back to his real owner. I believe he's over the rainbow bridge now - healthy and young. And I really yearn for the day when we'll be running through fields and woods together again.

Carol

Brandi - you were the "love of my life". I will cherish the eighteen years, two months and five days we had together forever! We sure have alot of memories. You were my special "little one"... always there when I needed a hug in my good times and bad times. You were the "best". You will be in my heart forever. I will never love anyone or anything as much as I loved you. You were my little "angel". You will be missed dearly. My love forever, Mommy
(Deb Edstrom)

Brandi,
Even though you have been gone for only a few days daddy misses you so much.
I can hardly make it through the day with out missing my baby.
All I want to do is to hold you and tell you how much I love you.
The house just is not the same with out you, you have brought such happiness into my life that I don't' know what I will do with out you.
Whenever mommy and I come home from work we still wish that you were here to greet us the way you have for the past nine years. I'm sorry you were taken from us so soon, but then a hundred years would not have been long enough.
Daddy loves you and will always miss you.

For all of the many kisses that you shared with us, the sweetest ones were the last ones, when you took your last bit of strength, and gave up your kisses saying "Thank you Daddy, I will love you always."

When people say that "their dog is the best" I really mean it, my Bran Bran was the "best"!!!! I will miss her so much, I can't believe how much it hurts.

Mary

We will always love you Brandie. Wait for us on the Bridge.

To Our Sweet Angel: You came into our lives in August, and you left us in August, exactly 12 years later. We will always love you and we will continue to cherish all of the happy memories of your lifetime. Right now we are grieving because we miss you so much, but the thought of you running and playing in the beautiful green hills of Rainbow Bridge brings us some comfort. We're sure that you are the same as always, spirited, feisty, and sweet. As you know, we had a very special bond with you that will continue in our hearts forever. If you can, please let us know how you are doing and know that we will always love you very, very much.

Brandy lived in a home, nearby, where he was neglected and then he took a shine to me and vice versa. He started to visit(meal times & bad weather) and little by little the length of his visits became longer until 5th of June 94 he decided that he would stay and from that moment my life was changed. He soon took charge and ensured that everything was done to his order, yet he was never demonstrative. He was aged about 11 when he moved in and bearing in mind his life previously, I was happy to give this rogue a new home for what I guessed would be a few years. And 7 years later. This year he's been getting slower and slower and on Monday 18th of December 00,he walked very slow and was very unsteady on his legs. After a little breakfast as I stroked and fussed him he put his head in my hands and gave me "that" look, and the decision was made. He went so peacefully to sleep, in my arms, no recriminating looks, at the vet's. Around the house he was mostly quiet, but there is an almost deafening silence - as large as the gap in my heart. He his deeply missed by all who knew him and all that he loved, especially his companion and friend, for I was never his owner or master.

Robin Edmondson

To our beautiful beloved collie dog. Thank you for being a faithful loving companion for 10 1/2 years. We will love and miss you forever. Love Brian And Tammy.

Tammy and Brian

Baby Brandy, you where the world to me. I miss you so much. No one can ever replace you. When I was little, I used you as a pillow, and also a way to get rid of food I didn't want. The way you played ball and, before we had a cat, how you would chase the sound of our cat like voice! How I loved to brush your hair, and when you started to go gray, how I planed to dye your hair! How you helped get me up in the morning. And when we played around with mom, how you would help save me from her tickeling.
When we moved to our new house, going up the stairs was such a challenge! The time how you got Misty in trouble for your leaving a surprise on the top to the stairs. We finally found out it was you the one doing it! But the few times you did come up stairs when I was sleeping, I could feel your hot breath as you breathed on my face. I loved how you checked up on me!
As the years passed and your sight left you slowly, and your back hips gave out! I hurt me so much to see you fall down the stairs during winter time! I would always help you back up! During dinner time cause your sight was almost completely gone, it was really a pain how you would breath on me till I gave you food! Bu you always got what you wanted!
So basically what I am trying to say my Baby Brandy is that I love you so much and life without you is not easy! Never leave me, cause when I get to heaven with you, I will hug and kiss you forever, and be reminded that you will never leave again!

I love you so much!
Megan
P.s. Who ever said that chocolate was bad for dogs is wrong! You loved to eat chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup! And you lived to be 16!

Mommy didn't have you long enough, I miss you

Hella Frazer

Brandy came to me from my cousin Ronda. She was my first dog who loved only me. She was my little girl and I will miss her. Until we meet again Brandy at the Rainbow Bridge. I will love you forever!!!!

Sherry Paxton

Brandy, you were the sweetest Doberman that ever lived. Every day with you was a gift to be cherished. You taught us about patience, unbounded joy, and the importance of everyday hugs. You will be loved forever.

Sharon Hobson and Jim Bagnall

brandy I was too young and full of my self on that day you went to god. You may have felt I didn't care about you, but I did. I love you so much and not a single day goes by that I am not tortured by not saying good by to my brandy girl. I can only hope that my deeds towards other animals make you proud and understand how much I love and miss you.

S. Pisciotta

Hi girl, I miss you so much. I hope that you have found Alex and he is showing you the ropes up in heaven. He always liked you the best. I know that you are in good hands. I hope that you aren't in anymore pain, that's why we had to let you go. My last memories of you are good ones, you running to meet me at the gate and wiggling in excitement to see me, as you always had done. Thanks for being such a wonderful dog, you made me feel safe when I was scared and loved when I was lonely. Bunky and LuLu will continue to run your favorite trails on the property. We all miss you, Bran. You and Alex take care of each other, ok? Come visit me in my dreams, don't forget to bring Alex. Love, Michelle

Brandy,
You have been gone for 6 years and I still miss you. You were a blessing our lives for 16 1/2 years. You hold a very special place in my heart because you were my first baby.
You knew Bo and he joined you in 97. As you know, Tobi found you and Bo on 7/8/00. I know that the three of you are together playing and healthy now. Tobi is only 2 1/2 and cancer took him from me. I will always love you all and miss you forever!!

Anita Dugger

Brandy, I'll never forget you. I love you more than anything on this earth, you mean the world to me. I know that you are in heaven and you are happy and having fun all day. I bet there is heaps of yummy grass for you to eat and other rabbits for you to play with. As soon as I can, I'll come and meet you there and we can be together forever and ever. I can't wait until I can see you again. I look at your picture every day but it isn't the same. I love you, my beautiful Brandy. I love you so much and it hurts so much to know I can't hold you every day and kiss you all the time. I love you, my beautiful Brandy. I love you so much. I love you.

Carla Renwick

It came to be the time, Brandy. You have been our friend and companion for almost 14 years, but now we must part. You have been great to us, giving us much comfort and happiness, but it is now time for us to give back to you and let you go. We apologize for not being able to watch to pain you must have been in - we had to make the decision to send you on to Rainbow Bridge. There you will be able to be with Pooter and Pebbles again, and someday, with us. Good bye old friend, we'll never forget you!

Dan & Ann Farage

Brandy -A very special little girl with as gentle a heart and soul as is possible! We gave you the very best world we could. Your old age ailments are over now and we hope that you are young again and playful and full of spirit-where ever you are! We will always love you dear Brandy.

Marjorie Priser

Chase all the squirrels you want to now baby. Run and play and know that I will see you again someday. I love you so very, very, much and I miss you terribly my sweet little precious one.

Kelly

She was our best friend and my sons sister. (she didn't know she was a dog. We tried to keep it from her) She is really missed (its so hard) Please pray for our family.

Julie Vance

Brandy, I've known you for almost 16 years. From the time I graduated from highschool to the time I started my own family. I will never ever forget you.

Love,
Mommy

You were always loved, and always be missed.
We pray that when we also cross the bridge we will again be reunited.

Michael Reina.

My Brandy was born on 3/21/98 and taken unexpectedly from me on 1/27/00. She was a beautiful Australian Shephard and meant the world to me. I would like for her and the world to know that more than anything I want to hold her and let her know I love her. I hope to feel her again soon.
Brandy: You have given me more joy than you or anyone will ever know, and the hole in my life is huge. I cling to the hope that we will be reunited one day, please be at peace and secure until then. You have the largest piece of my heart I can unconditionally give, I miss you so. Please know I will forever love and miss you. Your loving and grieving mom

In loving memory of my first "baby," Brandy, who was a faithful companion and cherished member of our family. We will keep you in our hearts forever.

Val Cartier

This past Friday 9/15/00 at 12:35pm, my Brandy passed on. She had severe arthritis and in the end, Cancer along with Internal Bleeding. I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank you, Brandy" for giving me and our family close to 14 wonderful years to share with you.

I know that you waited for me Friday morning, and I am very glad that we were able to have our talk. You made me feel very comfortable in knowing exactly what you wanted. I had to absorb my selfishness so that you would not suffer, and I thank you for letting me know when you were ready. I could not, and would not, make that decision without your consent.

Your entire family misses you more than anyone could imagine. Please be Tinker's "Special Angel" and watch over him, as he is very lonely without you. Brandy, until we meet again...enjoy the sunny pastures and the great fields. Rest In Peace, free of all pain and suffering. We miss you and LOVE you ALWAYS.

Your family,

ALWAYS in our hearts

I love you Brandy.

Brandy, We all miss you....and one day we will all cross that Rainbow Bridge to pick you up in our arms again!!!! You will always hold a special place in our hearts...

Love your family, Mary, Milly, Nelly, Hector

Brandy,

Our beautiful Golden retriever "baby girl." Oh how we miss your sweet puppy eyes. We didn't know how sick you were. We took you last week to the Animal Hospital when the vet said you were so sick, you needed more help. Your mommy was a wreck didn't sleep at all. I went to you the next morning and you wagged your tail and appeared to be better. That blood transfusion helped some. I dreaded getting your test results back though. I had a bad feeling.

The ultrasounds, x-rays & biopsy indicated you had canine lymphoma. They told us you had a few months. You seemed fine on the weekend, a little sleepy but fine. You scared mommy on Monday when I carried you outside & you just stood there with a glazed look in your eyes. When I saw you not responding to anything I scooped you up & rushed you to the vet. The vet said it didn't look good you had possibly had a stroke & your blood count level was at 14% extremely low.

I left you there so they could give you some blood & some medicine to get your daddy & your kids. The vet called us at home said it didn't look good at all. Daddy & I came back & I held you baby girl in my arms as he administered a shot into your iv & you went limp in my arms. I cried for days, I am still numb. We loved you so much baby girl. Your ROWDY misses you too, he won't leave mommy's side.

We will see you again at the Bridge. We are getting another puppy not to replace you but to keep ROWDY in line. Please know we did everything we could for you babygirl. not a day will go by that we will forget you. We have your pictures all over the house where they will stay forever.

The Meinke Family

Bratskula "Brats" Hayes
June 1981 - May 20, 2000

My darling beloved only child passed away this morning.
The grief I feel is unbearable; it is my worst nightmare come true--
but I knew it was coming.
We were meant to be together, she was my angel,
and we were inseparable for almost 19 years.
Brats had been sick for several weeks and every day I cried when I looked at her;
it was like she'd aged 10 years in the past 2 months.
She could no longer jump, it hurt to use her litter box,
and her beautiful fur was clumped and matted to where she no longer groomed herself.
I had to wipe her little mouth each time she ate.
The hydration had swollen her little front paws to where she could barely walk.
Brats had always slept with me like she was my little teddy bear,
with her sweet little head on my shoulder.
But the last couple of weeks she stopped sleeping with me, greeting me at the door,
or laying for very long on my stomach.
I realize now she was getting me prepared for her departure.
I knew I could not bear life without her so 5 days ago I found a black cat that looked
almost exactly like her (except for the soul in her eyes);
I thought I could pretend it was her when the time came for Brats to leave her body.
Brats had always gotten very angry, hurt and defensive if another person or animal got near me,
but this cat she accepted immediately.
I explained to her this was her new friend,
but she understood the real reason the cat was there.
This morning I woke up suddenly.
Halfway down the stairs I saw her tail.
She was stretched out on the landing in the middle of the steps,
as if she had been trying to come upstairs to tell me goodbye.
She was bathed in light from the window and her body was still warm.
"Mommy, I've gone to Heaven now."
I'll miss you my darling baby angel, and Mommy will be with you
in what will seem like a blink of an eye.
Have fun playing on the Rainbow Bridge until I get there Sweetie
and I know I'll see you in my dreams til then.
I LOVE YOU ETERNALLY MY PRECIOUS BABY BRATS.

Bree is my friends cat. She was very special to her dad, especially. My husband and I always said what a beautiful sexy cat she was. Always elegant, and a very sophisticated personality. She was a house cat, and went on her adventures out though. She had her mom all upset when she would take off. I know they miss her terribly, but she is with Bailey her brother looking down on them and meowing that Siamese meow-" Hello, I'm just fine here."

Monica, Jerry, Mickey, & Cooks Jefferies

She was simply the best...a wonderful companion and friend...there will always be a hole in our hearts without her Breezy wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge

Darlene & John Kuhn

We have been together since the day you were born. I can still remember carrying you around like a little baby. Remember how you would sleep in bed with me, keeping me warm, resting your head on the pillow. You were such a cover hog. Remember the walks we would go on, hoping to run into a squirrel friend or a kitty to chase after. Remember scratching at the bedroom doors in the morning letting us know that you were ready to have your breakfast or barking at 6:30 pm or earlier depending on your mood, to inform us that it was treat time. I miss that and I miss you. We have been through a lot over the years. Without you around I feel completely lost, alone and empty inside. I know you had a good life with us, but losing you is extremely difficult. Now you are with your sister Gina, frolicking and acting like puppies again at the Rainbow Bridge and I can't wait until the day when we will all be reunited. I will always love you and you will always be in my thoughts and my heart. You will be deeply missed my little sealion. I love you Breezie.

Love you always,
Michelle

Breezy was a very special member of my family. I brought her home for my mom for mothers day. She brought so much joy to my mom and dad's lives. We will all miss her so very much. We love you Breezy.

Suzanne Webb

Thank you - for all you taught me.

Rhonda Simpson

Brewster,

"Momma's puppy dog" I miss you so much. You and I were best friends for 13 years. I can't remember what life was like before your Daddy surprised me with you shortly before Christmas one year. It was the best present I ever received - a best friend. You sat quietly every night as I studied all through college and law school. Your Grandma jokes that you're the only dog on Earth with this much education. I couldn't have done it without you.

I hope you know that I don't regret for one minute our two long years battling cancer and the side effects that followed treatment. Through it all you kept your spirit and provided me with love even though you were suffering. I've been questioning whether I did the right thing now, but you know your Mommy loved you.

You were so innocent. I still wonder why pets who are loved so much are burdened with such diseases. It doesn't seem fair.

You only left us a week ago and the pain is still so great. Every time I think I'm healing, I miss you all over again. I guess this is the price I have to pay for the privilege of having loved you and receiving your unconditional love all these years. As much as this hurts, it is worth it. I am a better person for having shared my life with you all these years.

I hope you are happy now ... snuggling in a warm bed, swimming in the lake, chasing snowballs, and getting lots of drinks from the bathtub. You deserve to find someone else to love you in heaven until I join you some day. Grandma and Grandpa Hemby are up there somewhere too. They'll love you and sneak you treats!

I'll never forget you puppy dog.

Momma

Brewster, my true best friend. I'm so sorry I forgot the candle lighting ceremony last week. You've been gone for 2 1/2 weeks already and it still feels like yesterday that I held your little fuzzy body. Your Mommy loves you and is still trying to find a way to make her way through losing you. In tough times, you were always there. Losing you is by far the hardest thing I've ever faced and I'm trying doing it without you. If only had we had one more day. Mommy will see you at Rainbow Bridge, puppy dog. Until then, I'll never forget you. Never. You'll live on in my memories.

Momma Dog

After all those years. Life won't quite be the same anymore.

We'll meet again at the rainbow bridge.

Love

Florence, Ermintrude & Zebedee

BJ was the best fur friend I ever had. He was my baby, my darling, my sweetheart. He followed me, he slept on a pillow next to me, he always came to find me if I got lost.

Bye, Booboo. I see you later, 'K?

Kim

Bridey was the first cat who ever adopted *me*, instead of the other way around.
Her loss is still fresh.

Jane Harper

You were my friend. My companion. My wonder dog. I knew you longer than my husband, my son. You were my first true love, Mr B!

You welcomed the extra members of our growing family with initial good grace and tolerance, and then adopted them as your own as they too came to love you dearly. Your Dad is devastated that you have left us. You had such a big personality that it is no wonder that now you have gone, you have left an unfillable hole in our lives. The loungeroom seems so empty without your warm, slumbering, furry body sprawled in your basket by the fire.

Thank you for holding on just a little longer on Monday, so that we had the chance to say goodbye and to tell you one last time how much we loved you.

We all miss you terribly. We know that you have gone to a better place, where there are no cataracts, arthritis or cancer and where every special puppy can hear, see, run, chase cats and motorbikes and roll in smelly things. Still, we mourn your passing.

Thank you for being our friend. We were so privileged to share our lives with you. You gave us great joy and we hope that you cherished us as much as we did you.

We love you.

Till we meet again, old man.

Nicole, Anthony, Hamish and Cleo

You know where to go and where to wait,
Beyond this door and at the gate;
I know that you and Tim will be
Standing at the Bridge for me:
You'll take me to the Summer Lands.

And there we'll enter our true home,
Beyond the Earth's celestial dome;
Reunited once again, we'll be
An eternal spirit family,
Nesting in God's loving Hands.

David Yonkin

Bridget had a stroke last week and also has mammary cancer. She seems to be doing better but your prayers can help her.

Cheryl Kuck

Bridgette, mommy misses you so much. And I hope you know how much I love you. After having you beside me for 17 years it's real hard to imagine your gone, you have been my security blanket. I pray every day that the rainbow bridge story is true so I can feel your soft tongue kissing my face once more. I just want you to know I'm sorry for the spanking you got the morning of Aug. 26. That was when I knew it was time to let you go. It wasn't your fault you pee peed on mommies rug and I just lost my patience. You brought me 17 years of love and support and always stood by me even when I was bad, so I am so sorry for letting you down that morning. But I hope you are in a great place , no more suffering with your ears or arthritis. I hope you have your ball to play with because I sent it with you. I figured this would get easier with time but it's not so far. As you can probably see Rodney got me another puppy for my birthday. I was really upset it's not time but he's not here to replace you no one ever will. I love you so much and will see you soon.

Mommy

I will never forget my precious kitten; nor how she cried in her last moments as the Vet tugged on her little hind legs. She couldn't stand on them. She would never be able to stand on them. We cried together, joined in pain and love as the Vet injected the end of her earthly life. A big part of me died with Bright Star; and that part dances with her in the Heaven of her choice - chasing mice and birds, batting at interesting objects, and purring with contentment at the perfection and love we now call home. For the rest of time, however it's measured, we shall be chasing rainbows that were never meant to be caught.

Carol Farvour

Bris, you were a wonderful friend to us all. It's hard for me to come home and not find you there. You'll always be in our hearts and we'll never forget you. We will always be your family.

Roger Bosch

Britsie was the light of my life. I brought her home at 7.5 weeks old and she captured my heart from the minute I saw her. She was a solid black kitty with a nub for a tail, born of a parent with no tail and one with a tail, Britsie received a mix of the two. She looked almost all manx and had a spirit that just shined brightly from her big green/gold eyes. She loved to play, stalked fake mice (only the ones with the noise maker inside though)and was playful and outgoing at all times. She rarely meowed, but when she did I always knew what she wanted. She had three distinct sounds and every morning she jumped up on the bed with a mewl that said mom, get up and pet me please. She had her I wanna play meowel and then the one that just said I love you mom. She had a special way of headbutting my hand that told me when and how to pet her. She loved her butt to be scratched and it would relax her so much that she just fell over onto her side since she became so relaxed. I miss her kneading my pillow, head and neck at night and she would always wait until I rolled onto my right side before doing this. If I laid on my left side she would meow until I rolled over, needless to say I always slept on my right side for the past 6 years. She was more special than I can ever say.

She graced my life for 5 years and 11 months and I was so very lucky that she chose me as her mom. I miss her more than I can express with mere words. Unfortunately on Nov 26, 1999, Britsie was diagnosed with Chronic Renal failure at the very young age of 5 1/2 years old. She survived for 7 months almost exactly and passed on June 26, 00. Her body now lies below a Hibiscus plant but her love and spirit reside in my heart forever.
She was a special cat, is dearly missed and Always LOVED!

God Speed and God Bless Britsie, mom loves you.

You were a wonderfully loyal and loving friend, I will always remember your great spirit and I miss you so much,

Jack

Brittany: You were our most beloved pet - a family member in every way.
Thank you for your unconditional love. We love you and will miss you always.
Rest in Peace.

Love, Mom, Dad, and Lindsey

Brittany you will forever live in our heart and will always be mommy's and daddy's special girl. We and Shali love and miss you so much. Please wait for us til we meet you at the Bridge. You were the best and so brave right to the end.
Rest in peace, baby.

Pat & Craig Coykendall

To my dearest Brittany, I will never forget you and you'll always be with me. Thank you for all of your love and being around when I needed someone and never judging me, loving me just the way I am.

Cheryl

An Angel took my Brittany from me, so that she would be pain free. She was given the chance to Love and have some fun, and she showed me what having a friend like her would be. But then came the time when she had to go to HEAVEN, where she will wait for me. Then together we will be for Eternity.

Karen Halladay

Brittany I will miss you forever. I know you are doing well now. You will always be in my heart.

Love,

Aleks

My dearest sweetest Brit. I loved you from the day I picked you up as a 6 week old puppy. You will always have a special place in my heart as no other dog will ever compare to you. Please forgive me for the terrible mistake I made. Know also that I've dedicated my time to helping with Sheltie Rescue, it can't bring you back, but you have taught me so much my sweet girl. Someday we will meet at Rainbow bridge as I know in my heart our love is endless. You are in my mind, heart and SOUL forever.

Mom

Britty, you always had a "Twinkle in your Eye", and you were the very best neighbor we've ever had. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for teaching Spenser to be a good man. We love you and miss you beyond words, and your mom and dad miss you too.

Ford and Karolyn

Brittany, my Best Friend, my soulmate, my Baby. My heart belonged to you the moment we laid eyes on each other. You were different from your litter mates, you had a wavy coat, your little tongue stuck out, and you were the runt. You were so precious. You brought such joy and happiness to my life. The unconditional Love. You were there for me through the bad times to lick away the tears and just to listen when I needed a friend. I can still hear you bark "I Love You" when I would tell you how much I Loved You. I think of you everyday. It is lonely here without you. Some days are so tough. Even though my heart is broken, I know you are no longer in pain. I couldn't bear seeing you suffer. As sick as you were, you thought of me until the end. You hung on until I said I was ready. I lied, Britt., mommy wasn't ready then and never would have been. But you couldn't go on like that. You came to my side of the bed. I heard you take your last breath at 4:10a.m. I wanted so much for it to be a bad dream. I wanted the world to stop for my broken heart. I carry a picture of you, a tattoo over my heart, so you will always be with me-Forever Baby Girl. I pray the story of The Rainbow Bridge is true. It has been almost 2years without you in my arms. It's supposed to be getting easier, but it's not. Someday Britt-Someday. I know you will be waiting there for me with kisses and an "I Love You"

Veronica Brandenburg

My days are so lonely without you. You brought so much love into all of our lives. I will never forget how special you are. I will miss the way you use to pat me, lick my tears from my face, always waging your tail, and most of all being my best friend. I would have done anything to save you. Our family does not seem the same without you. You will always remain in our hearts. I pray that we will be reunited at the bridge.

She came so unexpected, and went that way as well. Faithful till the end, and is still very much loved, too. She taught us to love unconditionally, her eyes shining bright, now may she bask in the glow of heavens light. And until we meet again, the memories of our happy times will carry me through. Love ya Britters!!!!

Shannon & Andy Russell

Brocks, you were a special dog that was in are hearts the day you were born until the day you died

well never forget you Brocks!
we will always love you!

Serr's family

Mr. Brodie,

You brought such warmth and joy to my life, and you were there for me during a difficult time. I am so thankful you were a part of my life, and I will be with you again when the time is right. I love you!

Laurel Rea

Brodie was a wonderful, kind, gentle dog who filled each and every one of our days with happiness. We loved her and know she had a very happy fulfilled life with our family. She gave us many happy times and we'll miss her constant presence, inquisitiveness, playfulness and pleading looks for 'just one more pet'. She only felt sick for four days. For that we are truly thankful. It is amazing how much one love one can receive from and give toward their pet.

Val

To our spirited friend who will always be in our hearts

Joe, Lori, Tyler, Jenna

Bronco, you always made the family happy when we were down. You tried to stay as long as you could, we will never forget you, you were the best dog this family has ever had, The other dogs have not been in your spot, they never will be in it, you were a great friend and made me want to come home after a long day, how happy you would get! The house just hasn't been the same We will miss and love you for ever,

Andrea, Maureen, and Eddie

I miss you already Brontocat.

George

From the day your were born, you made us smile. Our "Pretty Baby." Thank you for the many years of companionship. For being such a great family member. For your gentle heart. For your intelligence and playfulness. For keeping our feet warm in bed. We will miss you always. Find your mama at the Rainbow Bridge, and wait patiently for us. We love you.

Donna (Ebony, Winnie & Sebastian)

Brownie--we miss you so much. You came into our lives for just 10 months but you brought love, fun, companionship, and taught us a lot about life. We hope you are at peace, at rest, and that someday we will be with you again. Susan and Keith

Pretty girl, you came into my life with your person, now my husband, when you were five years old. I'll never forget first hearing your shrill bark and thinking you were a poodle, until I saw a big, brown and white grinning she-wolflike dog furiously wagging her tail at me. Pretty soon, your first person said that whenever you heard my car pull up you'd bounce over to the door, with an expression of "Oh, boy, party time! The walking, brushing, and petting machine is here!"
We became close friends, as close as you were to your first person Roger. I got special permission to bring you to work with me once in awhile when I worked in a psych hospital, and I'll never forget how the patients used to react when I'd announce that you would be visiting the next day! You would trot in as if you owned the place, and patients who wouldn't talk with anyone else would bury their faces in your thick fur and murmur endearments to you. Do you remember the picnics? Taking you for a walk was a special privilege for them. Nowadays when I go back to the credit union I run into patients who ask me if I still have you. When I explain that you have passed on they are genuinely upset about that. You were loved by all.
You thought you were Alpha Wolf of the neighborhood. Only a few months before you left us, you chased a Rottweiller, a Great Dane, and a Doberman, wrestling them down with a strong grab to the muzzle. Dad and I couldn't believe it. Of course, one of our other nicknames for you was "Snoring Wolf." You could drown out even Dad's snoring when you set your mind to it. On not a few occasions, Dad would get a sharp elbow in the ribs when it really was you who was rattling the shades!
When you were ten years old you had your first experience with cancer, a nasty, infected sarcoma under the tail. I remember when I had to check your suture line; I plied you with cookies and gingerly inspected under the tail area, which was healing nicely. Even your doctor couldn't believe that you recovered so well and that you acted like a much younger dog.
I won't focus on those last few weeks. You and I both know how we tried to keep you as comfortable as possible, and how wonderful your doctor was in relieving pain and getting your appetite back. That last night is something I had lived through thousands of times with thousands of patients, and I made the decision to end your suffering the following morning.
We have your mortal remains in a brass box in the living room, and still feel that you are with us.
A few days later, I could not stand to only have a spirit-dog, so I canvassed the animal shelter with the instructions your dad gave me. He said, "I picked the one who came up to me with a big smile and an expression that said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! Pick me! Pick me!" Sure enough, one did. So now you have a kid brother. His name is Rusty, and he, too, is a Shepherd-Lab.
Of course, we were used to living with a grand old diva, and it was quite a bit of a transition to settle into live with a crazy teenager. But he has your sweet personality, and your pretty face (although on a little smaller scale.) When I read the tag on his pen at the SPCA I found out that Animal Control had picked him up as a stray on the very same day that I found out that you weren't going to get any better. I like to believe that you told God to be sure to give me a sign that this little guy was going to watch over our family the same way that you used to.
Pretty girl, I'll always have a special place in my heart for you, and I know that you will be there for me when I get to Heaven.

"Through Him all things came into being, and apart from Him nothing came to be.
Whatever came to be in Him found life, life for the light of man.
The light shines on in darkness, a darkness that does not overcome it."
--John 1: 3-5

You will always be my Pretty Girl

Carol Voss

To my Beautiful Baby,

You have a sister now, but I still miss you and I am so sorry you had to leave me so soon. I couldn't stand to see you in such pain. I hope and pray that I will see you again.....you were the best friend I have ever had. I love you.

Elissa

You have always been an important part of our life, and even though we cant always be together, we will forever live with each other's love. We LOVE you AA, you are our BUBBA. XOXOXO

Farren and Diane Delozier

My dearest Brownie: I will miss you so much. You have been a part of my life for the last 10 years. You have shown me how to love without wanting anything in return. The unconditional love, loyalty and gratitude you have taught me has made me become a better person. I can't imagine life without you. My home is not a home without you. I am missing you so much and can't wait until we meet again.

Susan Lujan

You were momma's Sweet Brown Teddy Bear. I miss your 100 lbs. of lovable fur, smiles, and "wet" kisses. I couldn't bear for you not to able to run and play. Oh, I hope you are running, swimming, chasing wild critters, and playing all your heart's desires now. I know you really enjoyed every minute of the 9 years you had with us here on earth. We will miss you and love you always.

Ronnie and Cindy

This little old dog from Corpus Christi, Texas was the love our lives. Something out of this world brought us together. On a whim we phoned the Gulf Coast Humane Society and adopted her having never seen her before.

We had seven passionate years with this well trained, dignified, loving creature. She enjoyed thousands of gourmet meals- many vegetarian. And liked nothing more than to guard the kitchen stove while bread was baking or a soup was simmering.

We need to make peace about her passing. Also never hesitate to adopt a senior dog.

Cindy & David Tussing

Bruce, why did you have to leave us so soon?. We had 13 great years together. You were part of the family and a great friend. I never got the chance to say goodbye.....I can't believe your gone.

Love, your Family, Nathan, Susan, Andy, Jane and your best friend Smokey!-We Miss you...

Nathan Jahr

My friend, my companion, my "Boo-Baby"! You will be missed but NEVER forgotten! I love you, and I will see you again.

Love Your Mommy,

Blondy

To our wonderful Bruce. we will miss you and love you always. Rest in peace. Mom, Dad, David and Jonathan

Thanks for the memories, old friend. We'll meet again down the road.

Patty & Ed Fries

She was with me through the worst of times -- two divorces, a miscarriage, three moves, innumerable job changes. She was my earthly stability, comfort, always there for me. I miss her so much. This deep ache in my heart, will it ever ease?

Karen Himmelspach

Brue , my darling companion, I loved you with a full heart,
And watching you suffer my special friend, tore my soul apart,
Many times , you comforted me,
And the tears I've cried would fill the sea,
But an ocean , is not as deep as the love I will always carry for you,
Remember the precious times we had , they were so very many,
my beautiful canine friend,
Our hearts and love for you forever entwined,
Yes I gave my heart to you and with your fierce loyalty , you protected and saved me from unwanted foe,
But I knew from the land of living, my sweet booboo, you had to go,
You deserved your dignity in your goodbyes,
And yes my beautiful canine, being with you at the end I felt your spirit fly,
My beliefs tell me , we shall meet again,
Missing you , I cannot dismiss the horrible pain,
I always loved a rainbow, how special they seemed to be,
Special is the significance now, I know you are waiting for me,
When both of us are together again, to be forever free.
I love you my darling booboo.
Gayle

"Bruin Barney" 7/4/90-1/26/00
Goodbye Bru dog. I didn't get to say goodbye and I will always regret that. I keep hearing you stir but it's not you. My big black watch dog, snow dog, colorado dog, cape dog, jeep dog, lake dog, boat dog & beach dog, I miss you. Shredder betty will miss you. You were such a cure pair, a dog and a tiny cat. I hope you didn't suffer, I hope you felt no pain. You brought great joy to us and you'll never be replaced. Goodbye Bru Bru, Mommy loves you.

Ken & Linda Barney

I miss you buddy! You were a wonderful dog and I will always think of you. I love you! Bye for now.

Lisa McClymonds

Bruiser picked me out of a crowd at the Hawaiian Humane Society on May 22, 1998. He wrapped his pink paw around my heart and lured me back the next day to bring him home. He was 1 year old.

On November 7, 2000, Bruiser left this life in search of another one. His heart gave out and he was found laying peacefully at the bottom of his favorite scratching post. Bruiser was my son, my first kat. He stayed by me, cuddled next to me, followed me. When I came home, he'd start meowing before I even opened the door and he'd lay with his belly up, waiting for me to say hello. When I was on the laptop, he'd come wiggle under my arm, lay against me and gaze up at me as if to show how content he was. I'd cradle his chin and look into his eyes and he knew I felt the same. He was a special boy. He changed my life, making me feel so good to be at home with him. He'd stay by my side on weekend mornings, complaining the whole time because I moved around so much. As soon as I settled down for a few hours, he'd contentedly settle next to me for a cozy nap, keeping at least one part of his body in contact with mine. I thought I'd have 15 more years with Bruiser Boy, I'm now grateful for the 2 1/2 I've enjoyed.

I believe Bruiser was put on Earth to show us what unconditional love is. He truly had no fear of risk or adventure. He reminded me of that every time he dove head first into any new bag or box. He convinced dog lovers that cats can be affectionate, loyal, and trusting. Bruiser trusted the world and in return, the world showered him with love. For the short time that he was with me, he changed many lives, mine the most. Thank you Bruiser for picking me to be your mom, for accepting and loving your siblings and for changing my life everyday, for the better, for ever.

In memory of Bruiser Boy Wong who is survived by mom oddwee, little sister natasha, baby sister hershey, godmother julie, uncle blake, uncle daryn, uncle nathan, auntie carol, and grandpa and grandma wong. He knew he was loved and will watch over those loved him. May his new home have lots of birds to watch, lots of trickling water to slurp, and lots of geckos to chase. Bye Bruiser, thank you for opening my heart.

AM Wong

Bruiser was our rock and our constant for 12 1/2 years. He was companion, friend and confidant. His wagging tail and soulful eyes will live on in our hearts forever.

Mike, Colleen, Ryan and Megan Stulak

Dear Bruisey,

Thank you for sharing your love with us for the last seven years. We miss you terribly but we know that you are at peace and in a beautiful place.

You will be in our hearts forever.

Love,

Brett & Valorie

To a wonderful lap dog that was there for me whenever I needed him.
I only hope I did the same for him.
I miss you terribly, Bruno

Michelle Alfonso-De Matte

Goodbye my dear friend.

Stephanie Hill

Bruno was a gentle and loving friend. He will always be in my heart.

Ginger

We will miss you very much Bruno. We love you. You were the best dog in the whole world to us !!! You mean a lot to us. Home is not the same without you.

Farrfam Family

We miss you.

Michele Cano

My dog, Brutis, was my best friend. He went everywhere with me. If I went to another room, Brutis went with me. He even went to Disney World, Florida with us. We considered him not as a dog, but as a part of our family. He was shot and killed by a neighbor who doesn't like dogs( Brutis had gotten off the rope he was tied with, and still wore his leash when shot) on May 15, 2000. ( This neighbor has shot/ killed 8 dogs and cats since February, 2000.) A month later, June 12, 2000, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, have had surgery, and am now undergoing chemotherapy. I know my Brutis is in a wonderful, peaceful, safe place, but I sure do miss him. I do not intend to die any time soon, but if I do, I am not afraid, because I know Brutis is there, and will meet me and keep me safe. Needless to say, we are moving. I would like to urge everyone who has pets, if anyone new moves into your area, make sure you find out how they feel about animals. Thank you for this chance to share.

Sharon Allen

Brutis was an orange and white tabby male who loved everyone. His codependency for loving and talking was very unusual which made his passing very difficult.
He was born around May 1999 and died June 7th 2000. His young age but mature, evolved personality gave us all wisdom which we will never forget.
Michele and Antonio will hold Brutie close to our hearts for eternity.
Brutie, Brutie, Brutie give us some more nose kisses. With Eternal love Antonio and Michele, your parents of the 3rd dimension.

I didn't get a chance to say good-bye. This make my mourning harder. He was a gentle giant. A St. Bernard of great nature. He was one to be proud of. He loved to run wild. Which ended up being the reason for his death. He was hit by a car. He died before I got there. I miss you Brutus....I love you Brutus.....there will never be another dog as great, loving, gentle, and fun loving as you. Take care my friend. I will see you when my time comes.
All my love-
Master/Mommy Laurie

To our friend Brutus who greeted us, comforted us and put us to sleep every day and night for eight years. The uncompromising love you gave to your adopted humans will never be forgotten. To feel you push your head under our hand or bump our leg for pets, would be soothing for my grief. To hear your voice in our heart to heart conversations, would make me smile and laugh. To have you herd me to your water bowl in the morning, would be a delight. To have you one more time paw at the keyboard while I write this, would be heaven. We will miss you forever.

Craig, Carol and Ken

Our Miniature Schnauzer was the runt of his litter. He was born on May 8th, 1981. I was drawn to him, as he was apart from his littermates, apparently shunned. My heart went out to him, and he went with me. He was six weeks old. I felt he needed a tough name to overcome his physical limitations, so "Brutus" was born.
I drove a truck at the time, and longed for a companion. Brutus was perfect. He was a friendly, intelligent little fellow, who was everyone's friend, riding in the pocket of my field jacket until he grew too large. He went in everywhere with me, during that time, even restaurants, where he would be the center of attention, with customers and staff alike.
He traveled with me for the first six years of his life, during which time he became one of the most extensively traveled dogs, I've ever heard of. Brutus has been in all but 1 state in the US, the exception being Hawaii, to which there are, alas, no roads. The trip to Alaska was by ship, but the return trip was through Canada. He has been to Mexico, albeit briefly. As I explored the North American continent, Brutus was there with me, experiencing all but the most pet unfriendly attractions.
We saw the St. Louis Arch, the Statue of Liberty, the White House. We dipped our feet in both oceans, and the Gulf of Mexico. We crossed the great rivers, drove though mountain passes. Brutus and I were the first truckers to drive a semi-tractor (the front part of an 18 wheeler) to the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado. Last time I was there, our picture was still in the snack bar. We rode horseback, airplanes, whitewater rafts, and motorcycles. Some of Brutus' favorite times were spent either hanging out the window of our truck, or in a milk crate on the back of our motorcycle (secured by his harness, of course!)
As Brutus entered his seventh year, I ended my trucking career, taking up my former hobby, pencil drawing, as my new profession. Soon after this, I met my wife, Kathi, a preschool teacher. We embarked on an 11 year odyssey across the US, doing art shows, living full time in first a bus, and later, a motor home. Our caravan grew over time, eventually including a travel trailer, pulled by the motor home, and a pickup, pulling a trailer loaded with our gear, both for work and play. During all this, Brutus, the little trooper, never missed a step. He loved the travel, but even more with the addition of Kathi, and all that space, compared to our "other rolling house"! On our second visit to Canada, at Niagara falls, we crossed the "Peace Bridge" where all family members are required to sign in. That's right, there are three names in the book!
After a successful tour of the country, we settled in Northern Arizona, where the climate is nice year 'round. I sell my artwork locally, and on the web, and Kathi has a new job.
Our little furry buddy has enjoyed "staying still", as we call it, for more than a year here in Arizona. There's a lot to be said for visiting the same yard every day...
Alas, as Brutus entered his, unbelievably, nineteenth year, he began to have problems. His sight failed, his hearing failed, his bladder failed. He developed arthritis, and difficulty breathing. His mind gone, Brutus could no longer recognize us, or find his way to the door, or his bowl. We doctored, loved, and medicated him for months, against our vets' advice, and finally, sadly, today were faced with that most dreaded decision of all. We had to realize that we were putting our own quality of life before his, and by giving ourselves the comfort of his prolonged company, denied him the comfort of the long sleep he has so well earned.
After a long, long talk, late into the night, we came to the final, unavoidable decision.
Our best friend, Brutus Chewy Kansas Uptown Man, was assisted from this life to hopefully, the next, today, October 25th, 2000, at 10:30 AM, Pacific time. We grieve, we cry, and we feel sorry for us, not him, as we know for sure, no matter what, he IS better off.
We are comforted by the belief that Brutus is now with my father, and Kath i's mother, both of whom loved our little guy very much.

Dave & Kathi Heald

I miss you Brutus, your a good boy.

Crissie Cooper

We miss him and think of him everyday.

Pamela Garcia

She was my baby girl. Always loving, always there when I needed a friend. I will miss her more then anyone can know.
From the moment she came to us(we thought she was a boy that's why her name was Brutus) until the day she died she was my special angel. she is sadly missed. Her buddy Blackie just mopes around the house, She is lost without her Pal.

Debra Kell

Wait for me at the bridge buddy. We all miss you so much. I think about you every day. Frank, Jen, Jake, Mom, Dad, Mina, Poppop, John, Uncle Frank. Brutus was my best friend, and he was loved by everyone he met. He was a big mush, but also a great protector of my Mom, Dad and my son Jake.

Play hard with Button and Spook bud. Grandma has Bassett Allsorts for you. Until we meet again at the Bridge. We love you, and miss you, Mom and Dad.

You brought me unconditional love. You taught me about life. You were the child I didn't have. I love and miss you. And Karen loves and misses you too.

Gudula Roy

I am only 12. Brutus was so special to me. I miss him so much! You don't know how much you love someone until they're gone.

Kellyn Carter

Today I said Good bye to my best friend
A friend in good and bad times.
A friend who was always there for me
who loved me with all his heart - unconditionally
and whom I loved with all my heart - unconditionally.
He came into my life as a sick baby
and turned into a beautiful, funny, regal, distinguished, loyal and loving adult.
He was loved by all who knew him - most of all by me.
When he told me he wanted to go, I loved him enough to grant his final wish
- even though it tore my heart out.

Good Bye my friend.
Thank you for your time with me
your love, your friendship - YOU!
I wish you a safe journey, health and friendship at the bridge.
I'll see you there!
You will forever live in my heart.

Love,

Your friend Evelyn

We love you Brutus. You will always be missed.

Trent, Cathy, Lloyd, Judy

I was there when B.T. was born. I held her in my hand. She was with me for 18 years. She had the softest fur. We spent many hours together. I read and pet her while she snuggled next to me. She was a good friend. I held her when she left this world. I will miss her. I was lucky to have known her.

Kie Van Dyke

BT I will never forget you. I can remember the first time I saw you. You are the most special cat I have had. Your life was too short for all the energy and curiosity you had. Everywhere I look and everything I do I still expect you to be there. We fought so hard to rid that FIP from you but it took your life. We were so lucky to have you even if it was for such a short time. The memories you left us will last a long time. Love to you forever.

Cheri

Oh how I love you

Michelle

We miss you, Bubbie. The sadness and shock of losing you was only eased by the fact that we *know* Juice was there when you arrived at the Rainbow Bridge. We know he must have been so happy to see his brother. Knowing that you are with each other, even if we can't be, helps ease our pain a little. We wanted you to be with us more than 13 years and there is a huge hole in all of our hearts.

My right arm will miss your curling around it at night to go to sleep. Dad's chest will never be the same with you not sitting on it. We know "now" that you were saying goodbye to us in your own way and we wish we had been at home for you at the end. Please know that we loved you very much and will miss you even more than that. Y'all have fun playing and chasing each other, but please take a few moments to think of us now and then, for we will always remember our first two "babies".

We love you both,
Mom & Dad

To Bubba....
We will miss you very much, and you will always be in our hearts...
We love you!

Danny, Janelle, Dominic, Marcus, Mama & Papa.

Bubba was a sweet gentle soul with a heart as big as his Newfie body. We will miss him always. We hope he found Rocky laying in the sunshine and can spend forever together. We love you Bubba.

Vince, Kim and Otto

Bubba you were exceptional - loving. We were there when you arrived in this world 8 years ago. We have moved from Florida to Tennessee to Oregon with your mama and your brother Bandit. From Florida to Tennessee we fought blizzards in March 1993 but you all stayed in the RV and we smuggled you in the motel room. In September, 1995 we flew you, Bandit, Mamma and D-o-g across country to your new home in Oregon. You loved the fenced back yard as your special place where you were safe and could chase the butterflies, jump at birds who knew you couldn't hurt them, frolic in the falling snow, lay in the bark dust or stretch out on the patio. Rodger and I have missed Bandit who predeceased you from the same liver problems last year at this time, but you two are together, romping and chasing butterflies together. You were a special part of our life. Thank you Bubba. Give Bandit a hug from us.

Rodger and Barbara

We had Bubba for a short 6 years. Given to us buy a friend. But Bubba became one of the family. So it was just the three of us My husband me and Bubba. It hurts so much not to have him around. Bubba we miss you so much....

Stuart-Linda Gillenwater

My Dear Bubba
It was three months today that you left us and went to the Rainbow Bridge. We still miss you so much, and I cry everyday for you. But just knowing that you are healthy again brings a little peace to us......See you one day on the Rainbow Bridge, and then we can all be happy again
Love you so Much Bubba......

Stuart-Linda Gillenwater

Bubba was a rescue dog that we adopted only about 15 months ago. He and his sister, Molly, were neglected and didn't really get much attention from their previous owner. We knew that the risk we took adopting two eleven-year-olds and don't regret a minute of it. Bubba was a friendly guy who loved to follow us around. He was in training to be a therapy dog when we found out he had advanced hermangiosarcoma, an abdominal cancer. We only had a few days left with him before he left on his journey to Rainbow Bridge. We miss him terribly but know that he is out looking for us. Everyone loved him, especially his sister Molly and us. He will always be in our minds and hearts. What a sweet sweet boy he was.

Julie & Stan Toporek

My dearest Buster Kitty,
How can I say good-bye? You were my Zen master, my reminder not to take life so seriously; to relax. Your big furry head butting against my mine at night was so reassuring. It made me feel safe and loved. And when you dislocated your hip - you looked so annoyed with yourself!! And just who is going to keep Angel on her toes or put Breezy in her place? You were our little kitty-man, lording it up over the girls. I love you beloved. I always will.
I hope with all my heart that we really are reunited with our kitty children when we go to heaven. That way, I know I will see you again. Kiss Tache for me ok? I love you Bubba. Love always, Pam

Bubba, We have been blessed to have you as a friend and companion for the past 10 years and have tried to show how much you were loved each and every day. Now you are at peace. You will live in our hearts forever.

Sidney & Frances Washington

We all miss you Bubba. We are all sorry you had to go. We really did love you a lot. We miss you barking, and we're sure the neighbors miss it too!! We love you and miss you much!!

Love,
Dad, Mom, Myra, Maritess and TJ

Today is your Birthday my sweet Bubba, and you are 10 years old today on the Rainbow Bridge. We miss you so very much, but I know in my Heart that you are much healthier and I hope you are happy there too. HAPPY BIRTHDAY from the two people that love you.....Stu and LC

Bubbles found us 15 years ago at a cat show. She was for sale as she was not "up to standard". As she peered at us with huge orange eyes through the rungs of her cage, we knew she would make her home with us. She passed into the Summerland on august 31. Her canine and feline friends also grieve for her. I know they cry along with us. She truly lived up to her name, she was totally happy, effervescent and loving. We shall always be grateful that she found us, and we shall never forget her.

Carole and Lyle

Can't explain the pain I'm suffering.. I miss you so much..I have loved you for 15 years and I'm so sad ..

I just want you to know I did everything I could to help you but God wanted you... I love you and I hope you are at peace... All my love and prayers to you my best friend, Your mommy

Joanne

My bubby was the best dog ever. I don't know what we're going to do without him. I love him so much and can't stop crying.

Michelle and Phil Pendergrass

My sweet bunny boy Buck passed away yesterday. He was about 3 1/2-4 years old.
He was the sweetest bunny. He had health problems like malocclusion and a sensitive stomach, but he was a real trooper.
Last month he had his first intestinal blockage, but pulled through after about a week. A few weeks after returning to normal-eating and running around, he stopped pooping again. I nursed him and he eventually passed the blockage. Again he returned to normal and everything seemed fine.
Then last night he was not himself. He was stumbling around and his breathing was laboured and rapid. We decided to take him to the emergency vet at about 9:50. About 5 minutes into the ride there he fell onto his side in the carrier. I panicked and opened the door to take him out and console him. He was shaking and seemed to be gasping for air. This went on for about 5-10 seconds, and then he died in my arms. We went home and I held him in his blanket until morning. We cremated him later at the SPCA. I miss my little monkey.
Momma and Daddy miss you fella-bunny. Miss Bunny does too. I'll see you at the bridge my special boy.

Buck was a very good dog, who loved his bones. He loved to catch mice, and run around our farm. He was very special to my mom Pat. They had a bond that was very tight. We miss you Buck. But now you are with your best bud Princess. She missed you, so go have fun and we'll see you on Rainbow Bridge.

Love always:
Kerri & Pat

Buck you will always be mum's no 1 boy. I'll always cherish what you gave me. Go get the rabbit's now.

Heather

Buck you are missed so much. I hope you are free from pain. I love you

Mom.

To my beloved dog Buck - Farewell to my best friend and the most loving, loyal, presence I have ever had in my life. I will miss you everyday.

Heather McMahon

A great friend. We really miss him.

Judy Taylor

This dog was not just any old dog. He was a dog that loved his treats and his toys. He never did anything wrong but once in awhile he would get into trouble. He touched many peoples lives and was loved by many. He was a part of our family for almost 12 years. He will be missed by many. But now he is up in Wisconsin chasing all the deer. He is happy now. We miss you buck!!!

Mark and Dawn Netzel

I would like to pay a special tribute to my good friend, Buck, who had to be put down on 2/12/00. For the last 10 years, he has been my shadow, and my best friend. He grew up with me and my children, and his passing feels like I think it would feel to lose a child. He was so loving, and always unconditionally. If only we could be as pure in love as a pet. Good-bye Buck, til we meet again. I love you. Jean

My beloved, beautiful and grand little creature. My baby boyo. We love and miss you so. Our only wish, hope and dreams now are that we always feel your magnificent and loving presence in our lives. I would be content just to know that somehow, somewhere and someway we will be united again. We will try to get past our all-consuming pain and despair so we can feel your magic and soul once again. Oh, my Roo, we love you so. Mama, Papa, Osiris, Kazzie and Kaya

Dear Buck,
If I could only tell you how much you are missed. The day you left me, I know a piece of me died and will never be the same. It has been almost two years and I still miss you as if it happened yesterday. I love you so much. I know you are out of pain and in a much better place. So until Rainbow Bridge...

Loving and Missing you
Carlos, Jimmy, Wylee, Thomas, Fox and Zoe

to my beloved first son, whom I miss very much and will always remember and love.

Wanda Busick

What a dog! Gone too soon, but played hard every day of his life and gave us lots of love.

Mary

Buckie - you had the Will of a Lion but your body was not as strong. We will miss your sweet cuddles, your constant eagerness with life. Khally misses you so much Buckie - she is looking for you and mourning with us. We love you my sweet sweet boy and will see you at the Rainbow Bridge. - Forever your Mom and Dad

"Bucka", We gave you to God today, so you could wait for us over the Rainbow Bridge, a place where you can once again romp and chase butterflies. Thank you for being so special to all of us. Life will never be the same without you, but we will always remember you and love you. Until we meet again, over the Rainbow Bridge....
Love,
Greg, Randi, Johnny, Daniel, Dinnie and Jay!!

Buckwheat was such a special dao ( as they all are). She will forever have a place in our hearts.. She did nothing but make us happy her entire life and she will truly be missed.

Jo & Bob

Please keep Buckwheat and my parents in your prayers as I do. He was my parents dog and loved by all who knew him. He had broken his jaw as a puppy and as a result he had a lopsided grin when he greeted people. This "grin" scared many UPS, mailmen,... We will miss buckwheat very much.

Alisa Hutton

Bucky was a "Royal" in ACFA's Household Pet Division.

Maureen Kramanak

My precious Bucky! I'll never forget the day your daddy brought you into our home. You were an abused 14 month old mix and I had wanted a puppy. But when I saw your sweet, shy eyes I fell in love. You were with us for 16 wonderful yrs. You have endured 3 births of the children you fell in love with and protected. They miss you so much. Their hearts are broken along with mine and your daddy's. We had to make a painful decision today, the cancer was eating away and you could not function anymore. That was by far the hardest thing I had to ever do. Watching your life pass away was so surreal. I held you for so long after. I hope you have a wonderful trip over Rainbow Bridge. I will see you the minute I get there. Play with Timmy, Spark Loopy, Loopy J., Snoopy, Tikki, Coco, Jynx and Chico and have a good time. You only met a few of them but just tell the others that we sent you. They will love you.
This house will never be the same without you. It is so empty just like my heart. You have brought us so much joy and laughter. It is so hard to say goodbye so I will leave you with "See you at the bridge."
I Will Always Love You.

Mommy, Daddy, Brittany, Brandon and Bradley

I'll love you forever.

Skip

I miss you, Bucky, and so does Skip.

Jeanna Fox

Bucky is the most beautiful, sweet, courageous dog I've ever known. He is my first dog, and he came to me in a time of great need. He was my perfect angel of comfort, joy and unconditional love for five years. He's gone too soon, I'll love and miss him forever.

Nancy and David Burke

You've been gone nearly 5 years and we still miss you with all our heart. You were my protector, my friend, my constant companion. You traveled with me from one side of this country to the other, through sand, and snow, across mountains and from ocean to ocean. The day your heart stopped beating was the day a piece of mine was taken away forever. Please wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge, Big B. We'll be there.

JoAnne Mottola & Dave Klapholz

Bucky, I will love you forever. You will never leave my heart and soul. You will always be my special "Buck, Buck, Buck, Bucky, Bucky Magoo."

I thank you for your love. I thank you for your companionship. You were so so special to me. I will remember your soft head and warm brown eyes. I will remember your great big smile. I will remember all your cuddles and doggie kisses. I will remember playing ball, giving you a treat, sharing my eggs and sleeping next to you every night. I will remember playing "bear" and your feisty/playful nature. I will remember how good you were to the boys. I will treasure so many funny memories and so many special ones too. You are my Bucky Magoo and always will be.

Run and play and eat and rest there at Rainbow Bridge and know that you and I will be together again one day ~ forever! I love you Bucky, my sweet Bucky Magoo.

We will miss the laughter that you brought us. We will miss waking up to your meow every morning, because we knew you were always hungry. We will always love you and never forget you. Your memories will never be forgotten. Someday we will all be with you. We hope you are getting the care up there like you did down here. We love you Bud.
Love you always
Mom, Dad, Heather

I hope you're healthy once more and up in heaven with grandma. I'll never forget you, little guy.
