Year 2000 Tributes

Cadilac thru Czonka

My dear little Cadilac, I haven't forgotten you, you know.
You don't know how much I wish I could have said good-bye before you were gone. From the day I heard you crying under the house I was in love with you, and when I broke the floor to get you out, I knew I was your Mommie for life. But we will meet again someday soon and be together forever.
Until then my precious Caddy, I remain your Loving Mommie

Dean Sellers

Our rescue angel who left us too soon. We will miss him forever. Caesar, wait for us! We'll see you at the bridge!
I love you always.

Laura Feeley

Caesar was my friend & companion for 11 years. He passed to the Rainbow Bridge on January 6 after a sudden heart attack. There was no real chance to say goodbye. Before I left for work that morning I kissed him & told him what a good boy he was, as I always did. Love & cherish your little friends. They can leave so quickly. Thank you, Caesar, for being my friend & for giving me such pleasure. I love you.

Nan Waddell

"Baby Girl" I will always love you.

Brenda Young

I miss your sweet little face in the window waiting for me to come home and the sound of your little feet tapping across the kitchen floor. Daddy misses you too and your morning tug of war games. I still can't believe you're gone. I can't believe that I will never touch your little head or see that look of love in your eyes again. You were so special to us and we will never forget you. You have a place in our hearts forever.
We Love You "Little Man"
Mommy and Daddy

In loving memory of Amiga who I sent home on June 16th, 2000 as I could not allow her to weaken any further. Her Blessed little heart was so tired and she was fading away. I would rather see her die in grace and dignity rather than choke and suffocate to death. I will miss her terribly and will not be complete until I call her name and see her running to greet me at Rainbow Bridge. Her brother and sister Bentley (Westie 12) and Kelsey (Scottie 3) sadly miss her and have been pressing their little noses against the glass of her portrait which sits beside her bed. Saint Francis please watch over her until we are reunited and please forgive me for sending her home sooner - I could not allow her to suffer any longer. I hope that you understand.

Jim

I am so sorry that I was not around for you last two years. I miss you and love you very much.

My Cali was a very loving and dependant cat. i ask that you honor her if you would. She would never hurt any living thing. She was only put on this earth to love. And that she did. She made my life a great adventure for ten years. I wish I could've had some more time with her. Thank you!

Maura J.B. Barley

Farewell, my unforgettable, inscrutable, irreplaceable Cali. Until we meet again, my angel.

Lee King

Cali I and your kittens will miss you greatly and we will remember you always....LOTS OF LOVE

Missy

May Calico find peace with our God who created her.

Joe, Denise, Justin, & Jeremy

Calley,
You came into my life as a rescue dog. But in truth, you rescued me. You with your snarfle snorts and loving expressive eyes. Anna always said that we were meant for one another and she was right. You were with me for 5 short years and I will count the days till I can see you again at the bridge. You were a part of my heart and my soul, You were my friend and my companion and now all of a sudden you are gone. St Roch I beseech you look after my baby till we meet again.

I Will Always Love You
Daddy

Callie was my best friend...she stood by me through 2 divorces, 2 births and many other high and low points in my life. She was loyal, always giving me unconditional love. It broke my heart to let her go, but I knew she was not having a good life anymore. I will remember her always, and miss her every day for the rest of my life. I know she's running with the angels now, and in a much happier place. Be free my sweet puppy, I'll see you again someday in heaven. Mommy...

Callie was the sweetest kitty ever. She loved to chase balls of paper and would sit up on her hind legs for a treat. She loved to play with the laundry basket and she always had to be in the bathroom with me while I prepared for my day. She would curl up in my lap, suckle on my favorite sweaters, and headbonk me with love. Callie, you are truly missed. I love you.

Annie Herron

I would like to tribute my love and gratitude in the name of my cat, Callie who passed on tonight January 18, 2000. I would like to thank her for all the wonderful time and years we were able to spend together. I know that she cannot feel any more pain that she been experiencing and that is a great relief for me. With everything said Callie you were my first cat and I will always hold you dear in my heart. I love you.

Allison Clark

Clyde was a tiny, orange stray found in a gas station in the middle of a cold, snowy winter night. He came gratefully with me and changed my life. He grew into a fine Cat who awakened me with gentle licks to my eyelids. He was gentle, loving and fun-loving. Clyde actually stopped traffic once as we were playing "Frisbee" He was friendly and outgoing and liked everyone. He would walk with me without a leash, again astounding strangers His life was only 5 years cut too short by Cancer. But he lives in my heart. Callie was the polar opposite of Clyde in every way. She was a beautiful muted Calico who was reserved and seldom displayed affection with any human being. But, OH how she loved Clyde They were inseparable Clyde could get her to play and enjoy life, and I am grateful I had them at the same time so they could have each other.

Pat Kiefer

You were a very special kitty to Laura and her family and you had a long happy life. You will be in cherished memories, and therefore will never truly die. You brought companionship to this family. Goodbye little one.

E. Simpson

We will never forget our dear, tender Calvin and his constant love and affection. I can still hear your purr and your meow, I can still feel your little tongue licking our fingertips, and I will never forget how much you loved our laps. You were our little baby and our dear friend. We love you--always! And Jagger loves you too!

Leslie and Scott Jones

Calvin & Wylie, although you were not my beloved pets, I still loved you deeply and was saddened by your loss. I know that Hayley has a hard time dealing with your death, especially since both you and Wylie were both killed by cars in one month. God, couldn't you have given them one more life?

Love,
Renata

ACFA Household Pet of the Year 1992.

Maureen Kramanak

Camille was my special angel baby. She was diabetic for 5 years and took her insulin like a good girl twice a day. She was a one person cat until she met my fiancée, Mike and she fell in love too. Unfortunately, her time came to soon, she suffered a bad hypoglycemic reaction while we were out on Monday evening and had been in a coma for several hours before we were able to get home and rush her to the ER vet. On Tuesday afternoon we were told she was blind and had suffered permanent brain damage and decided the best thing for her was to stop her suffering. I am devastated and so is my fiancée over our loss and how it all happened. Camille will be in our hearts forever-we love you stinky puss!!

A TRIBUTE TO OUR LOVELY CAMILLE

Camille, my precious, you arrived in our lives and hearts on a blustery early winter evening ten years ago. Your beauty, grace, ready smile and silly sense of humor were admired by all who knew you. You truly were one of the most beautiful dogs to grace the earth. Your coat-golden and white, with a husky's markings, sheathed your delicate yet strong frame. Sparkly golden eyes and a sweet nuzzle nose that was both brown and pink, adorned your intelligent face. Yours was a spirit of unconditional love and that you loved us so deeply made us all so proud.

Camille had shown no signs of ill health and the morning she traveled the Rainbow Bridge was her favorite sort of day-glistening with sunshine and fresh snow. She came inside from playing and faltered. I rushed to her and it was clear she was in distress, yet she lay comfortably for a moment, until her breathing became labored, and then she cried out a bit and slipped away from us. We were told it was a heart attack.

Your distance from us has not compromised our love for you, beautiful Camille. We will love you forever and keep you near in our thoughts. Stay safe and continue to bless us with your love until we are together again. You remain in our hearts forever.

Missing you deeply, Anne, Dan, Anna, Krista and your little dog sister, Simone

Camillia, my first baby, was my best friend. I was her only person, and only in the last few years of life had she allowed my daughter to have the honor of petting her when she wanted her to. Camillia was very independent and I loved and admired her for this quality. "THE TUMOR" was the beginning of the end, and I hope and pray that it caused you no pain. I hope my decision to pursue treatment for you was what you wanted, and I hope you know I tried to make choices based on what was best for you rather than what met my needs best. I miss you terribly and hope that you are at the Rainbow Bridge with your sister, Katy and my first special cat, Miss Kitty. I know you will be waiting for me. Please be at peace, feel no more pain, and don't be afraid--you are always in my heart!

Pamela Duncan

You were always such a spunky little guy who brought joy to all who knew you. In the last six months of your life, your health began to deteriorate. Although our vet did everything he could, you got steadily worse. You never complained or acted up through all of the trips to the clinic. But slowly you got worse, and finally that perky little demeanor began to fade, and I knew that life was no longer the joy for you that it had once been. I dreaded having to make the decision that I knew I would eventually have to make. But even then, on our last day together you tried to make it easy for me. You never asked for anything your whole life, but on that day, you looked up at me, and I could tell by the look in your eyes that you were asking me to help you..... to finally put an end to this suffering. I held you all day until the time came. Our vet was so good. He even came right to the house so that you would feel at home. I picked you up and held you in my arms while the vet administered the shot. You just drifted off to sleep, while I held you, like you had done a thousand times before. When I looked up, I saw that it was our vet who had tears in his eyes. That was the kind of dog you were. You touched everyone who came into your life. Sleep well, old friend. You are missed, and will never be forgotten.
Jack, Mom, and Winnie

Camo, our special dog of 13 years who gave us unconditional love and happiness. Whom we will never ever forget.
I have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain, not because we didn't love you, cause we loved you too much to force you to stay. This tribute is for you Camo girl, for the love that you gave us....

Rondelle Weyand

My wonderful German Shepherd Candace Marie we called her 'Candi' Passed away on August 25, 2000. She was almost 11. Her birthday is October 14, 1989. I have created a web site for her at http://www.angelfire.com/pa4/FengShui/CandiMarie.html

There are some beautiful photos of her on there. She was a great pet and I love and Miss her terribly.

Missy

Candi was a faithful and loving companion for twelve wonderful years. She was gentle, kind and had an incredible personality. She always had a smile on her face and in her heart. She was (and is) very loved by all who met her. Goodbye my dear friend. You are missed.

Jennifer Bell

Two weeks after we put our sweet baby Jodi (Jodi 10-9-00) to sleep, my mom and dad had to put their dog to sleep. It was very hard on Scott and I because we would babysit her when mom and dad went on a trip. Scott wrote her a poem.

A Prayer For Candy

Lord hear our plea, we pray.
We've lost a good friend today.
She gave us joy and gave us love
For she was sent from Heaven above.
She made us laugh, she made us cry.
With a wag of the tail and head held high
We now return her to you arms.
To love, to hold, to keep from harm.
For this is the prayer we ask of you
To keep our baby till we're there to.

Don and Mary

Candy was my child-hood dog. I loved her tremendously. She guided me from my childhood (8 years old) to my young adult-hood (college graduate age). My memories of her have actually helped me in my grieving for Samantha.

Melissa J. Jones

Candy was my little friend. She was loved by me and by all who knew her. She had personality! I loved my little girl cat. Candy will forever be in my heart

Judy Perez

To my lost love
Candy you were my baby I sure wish you were here it is not the same here with out you you use to follow me and my sister all over the place if we went next door you would follow us and walk us home I wish you would come back it has almost been a year since you disappeared I love you and will never forget you
IN LOVING MEMORY of Candy man
has been missing since June 26 1999 I will always remember you and love you I have a picture of you by my bed and in my purse that I look at you and kiss you every night before I go to bed

Jennifer Harris

I had Candy for 16 years. She was such a good friend. She was a lot of fun--even when she finally had to use a night light to get around the dark house!

Is the grief worth the years we had together? It sure is.
We all miss you, Sweetie.

Allan Hunt

We miss our little Sweet Pea. She was so dear to us. Our tears never will stop for her. Peppermint I'll eat for her. She was mommy's little piggy.

Scott and Kelly Zillig

Our dearest Candy, it has been 1 year since you left us. We miss you deeply! Kim got married, she was so sorry you weren't there to be her flowerdog, but we know you were looking down her wedding day and smiling. Lee J. will be moving out this Friday to his own apartment. Tara is doing good but misses her roommate. We love you Candy!

The Barker Family

I found Capone at a place called Madam Sharee Forest.
It was a brothel in the hills of W. Chesterfield, NH in the late 20's. Al Capone used to frequent the place with his boys.
I found my dog starving to death there.
I took him in.
He was part of our gang.
He was the Beer Drinking, Heavy Metal, Conga-line dancin', "dog ass puppy"!!
He destroyed many things, he was hard to pin.
Got run over by a mini-van doing 50 broadside.
At exactly 6:30pm July 24th,2000, Capone died in my arms.

I ALWAYS hated those, so mini-van drivers...
I'm out there.

I buried Capone at Madam Sharee's where I found him.
Word to the wise:
Never dig between 2 oak trees near a brook, unless
you are very fit and do that thing alot.
R.I.P Capone!
You were loved by all.

David McCollester

Through the grace of God I was led to the puppy room of the pound 5 years ago where I met Cappi, my dancing poodle. She was 9 years old at the time, I was so sure that no one would adopt a dog of that age. The cage she was in was open, I let her out. She stood up on her hind legs and batted her front paws, thus the poodle dance. Cappi was my class mascot in my kindergarten class and visited nursing homes. She loved everyone, showering them with kisses. She walked down the aisle with me as my wedding bouquet, a week later I held her in my arms on the couch in our home where she took her last breath. Her illness came on suddenly and I missed her the moment she was gone. I love you Cappi. Thank you for the joy you brought me. I will miss you everyday.

Pam Kornicker

I am so honored to have been selected to belong to Captain Harlock Reynolds for the 16 1/2 years of his life. He was born in our garage and died with my hand on his big furry head. He'll always live in my heart. A friend from out-of-state, when visiting for the first time, said she was amazed at how "bonded" we were. He was one of the great loves of my life and one of my best friends, someone who loved me and someone I loved dearly. I know he's forgiven me for keeping him longer than I should have, because he always forgave me for my human foolishness. I know my beloved beautiful Captain is young and agile again and free of pain and waiting for me, and that makes all this just a little easier. Thank you for allowing me to share.

Christine Reynolds

Cara
Don't think you will ever know how much I loved you, our life together was just something special.
You were always there when I needed a friend .
You now are free of the burdens which troubled you over the last year or so of life.
Walk with Hannah your sister and look out for us we will never forget you .The proud and wonderful Dog that you were and still are in our Hearts.
Your spirit will Live with us forever...

Paul Crouch

Sweetheart,
You are now with Bubbles, Patches, Bandit, Wimpy and Grammy Lintner. Daddy, Whisper and I will miss you tremendously. I hope you can forgive us for what we have done, but we love you so much and couldn't see you suffering any longer. We can't wait until we can snuggle with you again. I love you babycakes, my sweet Caramel. I know you are happy to see your brother, Bubbles, again. Love, hugs and kisses until we meet again. Mommy

I just wanted to write something about the greatest german sheperd that ever lived. he was more than our pet he was part of our family and taken away much to soon from us. on november,02 1990 we took our walk in the park and played ball he loved to play ball, that night he died. his vet said that he died of cancer of the pancreas that had ruptured. he wasn't sick, just full of life, he was always healthy and happy and ran all day long with his ball, I'm just glad he didn't have to suffer, I know I'll see care bear again one day. keep your ball handy boy cause you still owe daddy and mommy a game when we see you again.

Bill and Kathy Fink

In memory of a loving dog. we love you carl. So much.
God will take care of you now. Just remember you are his dog now.

From: Skiler, Betsy, Mom Dad, Krissy, Dot, Max, Tickles.

Our Beloved "Carl the Dog",
You were, without a doubt, the best.
You had more spirit, heart, and devotion than any dog we've ever known. We could not have asked for any better. We thank you for your unconditional and unceasing love and companionship. We know you are in a much better and happier place now with Grandpa, where you can run freely and do that "sky jumping" thing you were always so good at...a place where the pain is finally gone. Mom, Dad, and "The Bubs and Bubbettes" miss you a lot and will always love and remember you.
We'll get there when we can.
Mom & Dad

Oh Carly. I always thought that you would be here, so much longer. But you are gone, you just disappeared, and despite searching, I cannot find you. I feel in my heart and soul that you are gone. I don't know where; I don't know why and that makes the grieving all the more heartbreaking. Wherever you are, I hope you are happy. I hope you are smiling. I remember seeing you at the tail-end of a litter. I think the ugly word is "runt." But you were so cute and sweet; you were my angel kitty. now you are someone else's angel. I miss you, my sweetie. Summers will never be the same without you on the deck, basking in the sun. So happy. And that is how I want to remember you, once I get over this pit in my stomach! I love you, sweetie! Say hello to Brandy for me. Mom

What can I say about this special friend of almost eleven short years? That she loved us completely. That she loved to swim in the lake, and would probably do so until she dropped--that is most likely her definition of Heaven--an endless beach and unlimited sticks. We will miss her, and love her forever.

Beverly Colm

I came home from school one afternoon when I was a little girl. She was sitting quietly on my mothers lap. My mother had found her at a local farmers home, they were giving away free kittens and baby piglets. There she was, so tiny and delicate. Long calico fur on a chubby little body. She was just the cutest little thing.
Carmel had became apart of the family from the start, along side our miniature schnauzer, Hugo. Over the years we had become a small, close knit family. We have so many special memories. Carmel was sweet and well behaved. She was sensitive and empathetic, loving and very affectionate. She also was very energetic even as she got older. We never thought she would get sick. I thought we would have her forever.
Last spring, she stopped eating her food and by her behavior seemed quite depressed. It was very unlike her, because she was always a pleasant, good spirited cat. We took her to the doctor and he fixed her teeth, thinking that was why. Two months later symptoms were worse, and we took her again. She was diagnosed with cancer. She was unable to be cured because of the type she was diagnosed with.
Carmel was a very special cat. I will never forget her and I will always carry her in my heart. She was my best friend and I miss her. I want her to know that.

Amanda

Carolina, our Queen. Sending you to Rainbow Bridge was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I will never quit wanting to hold you close & feeling your love purr. I miss your soft beautiful fur & that beautiful face, I miss your touch. I miss your voice. I know that you will forever be in my heart but it does not stop the pain. We will touch again one day. Your furbaby sister & brothers miss you too. Dad has a hard time too. We will never be the same without you, but for you, we will go on, & we will love another Tortie again some day. Love always, your Mama.

To My Girl,
I Love you and you will always be in my heart and soul.
You will always be my bathtub girl and sweet sweet chickenhead. I know that you are there with Zero now at the Rainbow Bridge and I will see you again. I will never forget what we had together. I know that you will be there with each passing season. You are my heart. I love you my Blue Angel.
Sweet Dreams,
Sharon Renee Coble Seawell

I remember bringing you home girl, and how everyone that met you thought you were so pretty! You were truly special Carrie! I remember how you were always glad to see someone, well, anyone actually....You were everyone's friend, and for that you'll never be forgotten! We're sorry we had to do this......We Love You Care-Bare!!!!

Shane....Nick....Mom.....Dad

Casbe was a gentle-spirited and loving dog who captivated everyone who came in contact with him. His undying love of fetching sticks wore out many a visitor's arm. He would fetch for hours on end. His love for his pillow that he carried around the house with him amused children and adults alike. The intelligence he displayed in knowing the difference between his different toys as you told him to get one amazed even the skeptics. Despite his age, he was often mistaken for a young pup b/c of his youthful exuberance and energy level. His life was taken prematurely and he will be missed by everyone who knew him. I am devastated by his loss but know that he will be there to greet me one day and we will be together to play fetch once again.

Mary Smith

Dear Casey,
Even though you were older when our paths finally crossed, the five years we had together were far too short. You were and will always be one of my best friends. You were my constant companion, my dinner partner and travel companion. Even though you could not hear, you usually managed to know when I was coming home and the waging of the tail and the excitement is something I MISS SO MUCH. It is very lonely without you Casey, it's just me and I hate it. I wish you didn't have to go so soon from me, but I would never have let you suffer. The cancer came so quickly and I was not prepared for an ending so fast. I hope you are safe and happy, I LOVE you and MISS you very, very much. Goodbye my best friend. XXOO Mommy

She was a special dog that brought us much joy and happiness. She was our protector and our friend. We will miss her deeply. Casey we will see you again!

Brian, Terri and Jeremy

Casey was a very special little guy. He was small for his breed but tough as nails and never complained. He was a very determined little guy and very smart. He constantly filled our life with smiles and laughs. A day didn't go by without one of us in the family having a chuckle over something Casey did. He was loving and a real cuddle puppy. He loved us very much and we of course loved him. The wonderful memories will last us forever and whenever we think of Casey we will smile. What a wonderful gift you gave us Casey. Bye Bye, we love you.

Linda

Casey - everyone loved him-he was always so sweet and so good natured and so happy. I held him in the palm of my hand when he was born and I held him when he died. I will see you again some day-you were so special.

Debbi

I miss you Casey, I always will. You were always there for me.

Chad

We loved you and miss you Casey! Until we meet again....

Ronna & Myles Hoffert

casey was a wonderful dog. it pains us to have had to put him out of his misery. his sweet eyes and kind soul will remain with us, always. please say a special prayer for his companions, maggie, simon and sparky. thank you.

Chris & Rhett

My sweet Casey girl...I miss you so. Why did you have to leave so soon? You were such a joy to us. Funny, beautiful, much more than "just a rat." Lots of people don't understand you little guys. They just don't know. YOU made me understand, little one. YOU made me love those cute little hands, noses, whiskers and sweet, tiny kisses. My little Casey Face, what will we do without you?

You died only 12 days shy of your first birthday. Take this trip over the Bridge and your birthday gift will be endless. You will be healthy again--happy, running free and no longer in pain. That is the best gift I could ever give you. My precious little girl, you will always have a place in my heart that will be shared with no other rattie. You were my first. You were my bestest Mush Mush.

Be well, Casey Girl. I love you.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Roo, Nee-Nee, Whisper, Muppet, Petey, Aybee, Willie, and Baracus

Casey, you came to me when you were 6 months old. Thanks to my brother Phil, this was the best thing you ever did for me. Casey was my shadow for the next 14 years of our life together. My little man. The memories that surround our time together are boundless and ageless.

You as a pup, chasing birds down the block, later carrying you down the stairs, because your legs became to weak.

You have been such a part of my life and all I have been through. You have always been there for to greet me with a wag of a tail or a friendly nose tap.

Your passing has left such a void in me, your unconditional love. You following me room to room around the house. Just needing me, probably as much as I needed you.

I love you, Casey and miss you terribly. Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.

See you later Mr. Happy

Mommy (Karen)

P.S. Kiss Tara for me

We are so grateful that we had 15 1/2 years of unconditional love with our Casey. He will always walk beside me and will live in my heart forever!

Catherine Goertz

Casey though we only new you a short time. Its like I lost a child, you were so full of life and enjoyed the short time you spent on earth. We will never forget you and will love you always.

Jason, Carrie, Ashley Bronson

To Casey, the sweetest most gentle dog that ever lived. You are somewhere without pain where their is sunshine on your back and fresh air and you are happy. Until we meet again my friend.

Cindy Popp, Matt Love

Casey Trowbridge Clarke went to the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday March 22, 2000 at 5:27 pm to join Lila Mae and Fluffy. Casey first owner James Trowbridge passed away in January 1993. Casey came to stay with me and Lila Mae at James' request. Casey was the sweetest cat I have ever known. He was my friend. I will miss his compassion when I am sad, his company as a couch potato at the right end of the sofa, his purring and greeting me when I walk through the door and his love of classical and Gospel music. His housemates, Boots and Baxter misses him tremendously. We love you Casey!!

Kelly Clarke

At 8 weeks old you came into my life and brought years of happiness and sunshine. You walked into my life with confidence and remained a loyal, loving friend to the end.
When you were 7, Karsten entered you domain. You graciously allowed him to take center stage while you lovingly served to protect him.
In the end you made it as easy as possible for me. You knew I was unable to decide your fate and you left this world without lingering. You waited until I was there to stroke your head and tell you I loved you as you drew your last breath. You will remain in my heart forever. I look forward to meeting you at the rainbow bridge so I can again stroke your head, hug you and tell you how much I love you.

Maribeth and Karsten Long

Casey came to us from the Humane Society 8 years ago and has been a loving, loyal family member. He developed cancer two years ago which finally took his life. He was always at my feet or following me from room to room. He's left such a huge empty void in my heart that will be very difficult to fill. Rest in Peace my sweet Casey. Until we meet again at The Rainbow Bridge.

Hugs & Kisses,  
Mommy & Daddy xoxoxo

Casey was a beautiful Snowshoe, and looked like seal point Siamese with white legs, feet and chest. He had a black mask and huge lovely blue eyes. Casey was my constant friend and companion through a painful marriage and separation. He slept under the covers with me every night I had him with me. His last weeks were sustained by IV fluids, given by my son and me. He never complained or EVER tried to hurt anyone. He was made of love and caring. I will miss him every day, and will never forget my dear little friend. Casey is buried under my orange trees.

Mary Mitchell

Casey came to us after her half sister died of cancer at 7 months old. My husband, golden, and myself had felt a real gap with Jessey's loss. Casey's quite different, lighter colored and more vocal, as a true collie. She had all the personality any person would envy.  
At a very young age we found she had colitis. but with Science Diet food overcame much of the problem. At six she was diagnosed with arthritis, and this is was she eventually died of today. She was my brave, beautiful, smart, and proud puppy. She played, went for rides (her favorite) and walks with her sister, (the golden Honey 11 months older), my husband and myself.  
This past summer she had to change from the Rimadyl to Prednisone. She had a hard time adjusting to the new meds, but finally with other meds was doing ok. She was quite alert, hungry etc. She just couldn't get around too well. Lately she couldn't get up without help. Her hind quarters did not have the strength. Then these last couple of days, and especially today, she couldn't stand by herself. We took her to a very trusted vet who we have been seeing. After he tested her for reflexes, the bad news came ... there were no reflexes and that her time had come. I knew it in my heart, but to hear and say the words were like having a part of me ripped out.  
Casey my girl is gone, but will never be forgotten.

Sadly,and mournfully
Michelle

Casey Lou:
While I was at work and you were at home with a 7 year old to play with, I don't know what happened. I only hope that it wasn't painful for you. I will never forget the last time I held you while I was drinking my coffee outside that morning. My only wish is you were still here with me so I could feed you a carrot. Although I only had you a little over two weeks things were starting to bond.

I will miss you always. I love you, Suzie

Casey was my friend, companion, and little boy. We miss him and think of him in every way. He is with us and our hearts a still full of love for him as he was a special part of our lives. It is hard to go on but we try to remember the good time and the joy that he brought us.

We'll always miss you. You'll always be in our hearts.

Steve, Ginette and Matthew

My beloved Cashu,

Today would have been your 11th birthday. You don't know how much I miss you! I know that one day we will be together again so I can hold you and "dance" with you. I love you..........

"mommy" Cindy

We love you and miss you so very much. You will always be my beloved friend forever. We know you are in God's arms now, and your perfect. I love you Casper .Love your friend & companion Carol.

Casper came to me 12 years ago. He was my 4th grade teacher's cat, and she had to give him up. She had told us stories about him. I had to beg just to get him. My family had many problems like so many others. Casper became my strength. He was there for me so many times when I had NO ONE else. My mother was unable to care for me and my father was unable to care for anyone. My cat Casper was always there. As I cried, he nuzzled my nose and purred. He was my Angel. I NEVER would have made it through life without him. The night I left for college, he curled up in my suitcase and went to sleep. He lost 5 lbs my first semester away. I came home for 6 months, he gained all the weight back. I loaded the car the relocate to another state, he hopped in the back of the station wagon when no one was looking as if to try and sneak out with me. Wednesday night, I knew something was wrong. I don't know how and I don't want to sound stupid...but Casper let me know he wasn't going to be with me much longer. Yet, Thursday morning, it still came as a shock. My Daddy didn't tell me what was wrong, just that Mom had taken Casper to the vet. I knew it was bad, or else my Dad would have taken him. He had his paw caught in his collar and had snapped his neck in the struggle to free himself. He had no feeling in any of his tender little paws. What a violent, horrible end to something so sweet, delicate, and dainty. I hate myself for not being there to untangle him, for not being there to let him sleep on me the one night that could have made a difference.

Casper I love you and I know you love me. I felt you here last night. My puppy did too. He saw you and stayed away. I felt your love and your warmth. I don't care what anyone else says, you were with me last night. So, I am sorry that I grieve selfish tears tonight. I will try to wrap them up on Monday when I get to pet your gentle fur one last time. I love you mine Kitty Cat, mine angel.

Toni Brackett

Cas was the greatest dog in the world. He was very protective and very loving. He herded everything in sight. He loved to walk, garden, and go anywhere. He also loved guests. Once they were in the door he loved them.

Someday we will be together again. That I know.

Cas I love and miss you.

Dolores

Casper, I love you and I always have. I miss you dearly. Love Meredith

Meredith

Our sweet, blue and brown eyed huskie. We miss you so much already and it has only been a few hours. Your brother, Jake, misses you too and has been looking for you. You brought us joy, love and some frustration- but you were worth it.

I just wish the driver had stopped. You did. Love you, Fifi girl.

Mommy and Daddy

Cassidy was a beautiful being who gave us unconditional love. And, although she danced through many health obstacles in her life, we know she is now dancing in heaven, and passing on her unconditional love to our other loved ones (both animal and human) that we have lost in the past. As Cassidy's spirit soars high over us, her spirit will always remain in our hearts and souls, and she will always be our baby. There is solace in knowing that she is now our fuzzy Guardian Angel. Dear St. Francis, please watch over our precious boo-boo.

Laramy & Christian

No sweeter creature ever lived.

Carol

Rest in peace my guardian angel . You came into my life only 6 years ago along with Sundance, your canine pal. Someone didn't want the two of you any more and my heart was open and ready for two new pals. It was love at instant sight and as I drove you both to my home 2 hours away, you settled in and snuggled with me in the front seat.

You have given me so much love and devotion over the last 6 years along with lots of laughter and daily hugs and kisses. Only 6 weeks ago you were not being your usual spunky self, began limping and what a trooper you were as we went from specialist to specialist where you underwent all kinds of tests....and then the aching truth......inoperable tumor on the spine. My world began to tumble, but still you gave me strength to do whatever it took to give you the very best quality of life that you had left. And we explored both traditional and alternative treatments, and you ate whatever concoction I gave you and you allowed me to massage you, and you keep right on fighting.

And then, you let me know, it was time to surrender as you could no longer even stand up even with Mommy holding you tight......I got your message and as difficult as it was for me ....I honored your right not to have to fight or struggle any more.....and I held you tight as you went to sleep, forever.

Cassidy, you will never ever be forgotten by me or Sundance and we are taking care of each other now. And we know you are still our guardian angel looking over us. We love you with all our heart.......You are so special.. Rest in Peace

Love Mommy (Lynne) and Brother Sundance

For 12 1/2 years Cassie showed me and everyone who knew her what unconditional love and devotion was. She was a blessed gift and now I have lost her and my life will never again be the same. We had a bond so rare that even others that knew us only casually could see it at once. People would say "that dog adores you" and I would say "I know the feeling is mutual." Even with other beloved pets in my life, there is a horrible empty hole that cannot be replaced. She was truly special and at least I know how lucky I was that for an all to brief time I had the gift of a love pure and complete.

Terri Rocovich

Cassie,

You gave so much, yet wanted so less
and now your time has come to rest
So sleep my sweet precious angel, your now out of danger
so do all the things as you are now capable
Stretch your limbs as they are no longer aching - so leap and bound cos you are now able
We will never forget the love that you gave and all the sweet cuddles that got us through bad days
Your smell your sounds your beautiful brown eyes
that's what we will remember when we close our eyes
So you now go and play in your own unique way
and we will I PROMISE be TOGETHER one day

Thank - you

Kind regards

Sammi Anderson

Little sweetheart, who never had a cross word for anyone. Always cheerful, jaunty and loving.

Ten months old. never forgotten

Cassie, We only knew you for a few short days, you were full of energy when you were able, I hope you did not suffer from the terrible Parvo Virus, I'm sure you will be at rainbow bridge & I will see you someday again, Fred, Brenda, Scott & Cody

May the long time sun
Shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you

Hi Daddy's Girl, We're still missing you Sweetheart, but you're always in our hearts. Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge, we send you all our love and kisses.
Daddy, Mommy, Henry, Ziggy, Kaelaegh and Cody

Cassie, my wonderful little girl, I miss you terribly. It’s been seven months and 3 days since you left. During that time you have always been on my mind. I think of you every day and I always say a prayer for you. I thank God for bringing you into my life for I have been blessed.
For all these many months you have been alone at the Rainbow Bridge; but today that changed. Today is another especially sad day for me. Today, little Micah joined you at the Bridge. Now both of my babies are together and I am alone. Please take of yourself and Micah. I love you both and will never forget you. My sorrow is so deep that at times I can not bear it. May you both be free of pain and young again. Love, Mom

Cassie was a Red Tabby. She was born December 20, 1986. She was the beloved friend and pet of Pat and Ken Rogers in Easley, SC. She had to be put to sleep on Thursday, June 29, 2000 because she had a stroke. She had suffered from High Blood Pressure for the past 4 years and was on human blood pressure medicine prescribed by her vet.
This was a very smart and loved animal. She was like one of our children. We loved and cared for her and she was such a pleasure to have. We will greatly miss her.

Good-bye Cassie,
We love you

Pat and Ken Rogers

To Cassie our baby girl. She came into our lives, never a problem full of love. She had children fall asleep on her, has traveled all over the county and has always been not trouble and ever so faithful. She taught mom about canine love, our son about friendship and unconditional love, our daughter about protection at any cost, and for me she taught that when you take something for granted and then you lose it, it hurts ever so much. I love you Cassie girl and miss you so. You are a wonder dog and I love you and can't wait to see you at the rainbow bridge, wait for me and forgive me for not being there when you passed on.

Love Mom, Dad, Connie, Philip, Megan, and Lance

Cassie was a very special cat. She was loving, but not a lap cat. She greeted me at the door when I came home and then rolled around on the floor and waited for me to rub her belly. She was so sweet and kissed me from time to time. I have never met such a sweet cat in all my life. I miss her terribly and I cannot believe that this heart disease and possible tumor could take her so quickly. I feel robbed Cassie, we deserved more time. I love you and I always will. My home is not a home without you, and I cannot wait to see you again. I will never stop loving you even though we were only together for a short 4 months, you have become a part of me. There may be other cats, but there will never be another you. You were one of a kind. Thank you for brightening up my life, I looked forward to seeing you when I came home from work. Now with you not here, home seems lonely, and it isn't really a home anymore. I love you Cassiegirl. I always will. I did what I could for you sweety. As soon as I realized something was really wrong, I got you to the emergency clinic. They didn't think there was much they could do, and I couldn't let you suffer anymore. I did it because I love you, and no other reason. You never did anything wrong, and I adored you. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you.
Love Always and Forever,
Sheilah

From the day that we brought you home with us, Cassie you have been a major part of our family's life. It is so hard for me to believe that you are no longer going to greet me with sloppy kisses when I come home, or follow me all around the house (especially to the basement where you know your treats are). I know that you are now with your favorite doggie friend, Inky, but I wish that you were still here with me and the rest of the family. It is so hard for me to comprehend your passing since we had no warning, but God knew that it was your time and decided not to burden us with a long illness, and to take you now when you were your happiest. You will forever be in our thoughts, and we will love you forever. We miss you and anticipate the day when we can meet again. Please don't forget us, because we certainly will never forget you. We love you very much.

Love,
The Foster's

Mummy's baby girl. You were taken from me too soon but I know it was for a reason. You were the sunshine in my life, my little mate and the pain I feel in my heart is unbearable. I will miss our early morning walks, your excitement when I get home every day and our nights in front of the fire. I still can't believe you're gone and keep hearing you on your bed, at the door, all around me. Your spirit will live on Cassie darling.
Love you forever my beautiful, good girl

Cassie Mae was our precious and sweet little dog, we adopted her when she was just a puppy from the Humane Society.
She brought us so much pleasure and happiness, words cannot express.
She was our whole life, she was a smart dog and could do some tricks. Its like I cannot believe she is gone and it all happened so fast it was like a blur in our minds.

We miss her tremendously and always will.

Cassie Mae Mommy and Daddy love you honey and we think about you every day and still cry a lot and I kiss your picture every night. All our friends and family have been so good to us after losing you, we wish we wouldn't have had to put you to sleep but you were so sick and could hardly walk anymore.

Love Mommy and Daddy

Oh "Little One"
How can I ever find the words to express how much you meant and will always mean to us. For 14 years you kept our hearts and our home warm. Your beautiful pictures are everywhere -- but sadly our home is quiet and cold. The committed love you gave us will be irreplaceable and cherished forever. If only I could have but 5 minutes a year to check for "cooties" and touch your cute little button nose. Mom and I have vowed to carry a black button with us forever in memory of that precious little nose. Oh how I miss that stinky little chin and going "nose-to-nose.
Mom still goes for walks but the pain and emptiness in her heart is obvious because her "little punkin" is not with here. On those restless nights when I couldn't sleep, I loved watching and listening to you sleep. My sleepless nights are long and full of sorrow now. People ask us alot if losing you is getting any easier to deal with. The only thing that is getting better or easier is our ability to conceal our tremendous sorrow. Sometimes the grief will sneak-up and ambush me to the point where I cannot see or talk. I wonder so often about where you are and how you are. Not knowing is so painful. I know I have to let the mystery of dying just be that -- a mystery. Saying good-bye to you march 9 and 10 was so very very sad. They were the saddest days of my life. The reason losing you is so hard is because for 4930 days you started our days with those "I love you" eyes and ended each of those 4930 nights with warm snuggles in bed.

Good-bye Baby Mae

We love and miss you so

If its possible -- please find us again

Mom and Dad

In remembrance of a much loved pet and friend, may you be forever in our hearts. What is remembered lives.

Our Cassy was just 6 months old when she was hit by a car.
On the morning of September 30, 2000, my daughter Morgan (2 1/2)and I went shopping to a nearby city. We did the usual routine of filling the dog bowls, shutting the doors to the bathrooms and bedrooms and finding all the toys, and making sure they were all picked up. Once the house was puppy proof, we set out for our day of shopping. We got home around 6pm, to find our Border Collie X outside in the backyard. I knew that the dogs were in the house when I left. So I went straight through the house to the back door(which was shut) and Tobbie came right away, But, no Cassy. I searched the house in desperation and then packed my daughter and Tobbie in the car and searched the neighbourhood and all the areas I thought she could be, to no avail. I came home and called the RCMP. An officer came, and I told him the daily events and he was unable to take finger prints as I had already exposed the doors to the cold air and had touched them. The officer as did we, thought that someone came in and took Cassy because she was a purebred and not chipped, for personal gain. We called every SPCA and shelter within a 2 hour driving distance and reported our situation and made Missing Posters.
Well, 2 days later we found someone who saw her get hit, and took her off of the highway. My other dog had been hit as well, which now accounted for her soreness. Cassy never made it. We went and got her and buried her. I will never forgive myself for going out that day. The day I never locked the front door. I will never know who went in my house and for what reason. Did they try to take Cassy, or was it kids trying to break in, and got scared off by the dogs? All these questions, and never an answer. I Have not yet found a way to let this go. I try and remember Cassy, and all I can see is the tragedy. My heart is broke. Will she ever forgive me? Cassy, We all love you, and I am so sorry I let you down.
Sincerely, Shari, Brad, Morgan & Tobbie

Dearest Cassy, It's been a little over a week since you have gone and we all miss you so much more than words can say. We miss greeting you when we come home, hearing your tail wag on the floor, giving you bananas and your favorite peanut butter cookies, telling you to "go get e'm", giving you neck massages, and just having you here to hold and love. But we know that as hard as it was to let you go, that you are in a better place now, where you are free from pain and where we will all meet up again someday. Until that day, please remember that you are forever loved and missed and that you will always be "the best girl in the whole wide world."
All Our Love, Hugs and Kisses, Daddy, Mommy, Danielle, Josh, and Jordan

C-A-T you were our very special friend. You were the best behaved cat we have ever had. You always came when we called and loved us unconditionally like we loved you unconditionally. We both miss you very much even though we have been separated for a year and a half. The great memories that you left us with will live on in our hearts forever. It will forever remain a mystery why/how you were taken from us, but we get peace knowing that you are with GOD now. We know he must have needed a good mouser so he enlisted your help. We love you Mr. C-A-T.

MY TRIBUTE TO MY BEST FRIEND, CAT

My friend, my companion
the child I shall never have
....who sensed my every mood
and was there for me....

May you forever be at peace,
the same peace you provided my spirit.
May the love we shared shine a bright light
in the mirror of your soul....

I will always love you, often think of you and miss you
daily, My Great Feline Friend.

It gets harder to go home to the emptiness....not seeing
you on the porch waiting patiently for my arrival....not
watching you bound up the stairs ahead of me, while you
complain that I am too slow in preparing your dinner.

Not having you wake me each morning with the gentle
nudge of your head; Not having you to gently stroke
your soft, downy fur with it's deep gray color. Not
watching your eyes twinkle as you play with your
favorite toy. Not having you follow me from room to
room as my mascot, my protector, my friend.

Not having you pull yourself up on the table's edge as I
prepare a meal for me (us). There is so much I cannot
write here but you know that I remember, my good friend.

I shall always remember.

You were only with us the briefest of moments but your memory will be everlasting. You were truly our special angel

Ron and Denise Dvoretz

I miss you, our time together was far too short. I used to curse because you were under my feet and I would stumble, or because you would try to lay on my keyboard while I was typing, but now I cry because you aren't here. I miss you. I love you. I would give anything to see you, stroke you, or hear your meow one last time. My life will never be the same without you, because there is never a moment that goes by that I am not reminded of you. Your impact upon me is endless, as there was never a moment in our time together that you failed to remind me of the true meaning of loyalty, compassion, and unconditional love. I miss you, and I will always love you.

On Dec. 27th 1999 my beloved 10 year old sealpoint Balinese cat Cativo passed away. He had been ill for the past 3 years with chronic bronchial asthma. His death occurred as a result from the medical complications which suddenly developed from the steroid shots he had to have to control his asthma. Cativo was the best cat I've ever had, he was so devoted to me, always beside me and so loving. I'm sure they'll never be a cat like him. His name meant bad boy which fit him because of his bad boy ways but overall his sweetness outdid the bad. I miss his meowing calls as he often used to come looking for me to hold him or sit on my lap. Someday I hope we'll be together again at Rainbow Bridge so I can hold him once more. For now he's forever in my heart and I cherish the 10 wonderful years we had together. I loved him so very much and think about him everyday as losing him has been so hard..

Although Mandu has been at the Rainbow Bridge for 4 years, at times it seems like yesterday. As an adult, she was my first pet. We gave her a special life and in return she gave us a special life. She moved and lived quite a few places with us. Always adapting well. At one point we couldn't figure out how this 8 pound cat could carry a men's wool sweater around the house and deposit on a four feet tall plant shelf. I don't know how she did it, but she did. She is surely missed. Mandu please find Laika (our GSD)-she been at the bridge since August 2000. Laika missed you when you left us. She insisted on sleeping on the bed for weeks after. Laika missed herding you around and slobing your neck. I miss you, too. Lori

Cato is my friends' Don and Barbara McCormick's much loved yellow labrador retriever. On April 27, 2000, Cato joined his beautiful lab "sister" Sarah and my heartdog Abby at the Rainbow Bridge. Cato was a sweetheart and was the poster child for labradors the world over - very well behaved and oh, so loving. He will be missed terribly. Run free Cato, Sarah and Abby we love and miss you.

Catou, even if you were in my life for only 7 months, I will never forget you!!!!
I love you!

Our baby C-C passed this morning. My very best friend. She was found by my kids in our Brooklyn neighborhood in 1984. She as so loving and patient with my kids. Now we all are much older and wiser. We have to gives thanks for the wonderful years she gave to us. She never scratched anyone or even hissed in her life. For ten years of her life she had a friend. Her name was Bitsy. A 3 pound chihuahua. Bitsy passed on July 16, 1999. They were good friends the would sat on the couch together and watch T.V. and play chase I know in my heart Bitsy and C-C are together. Both died suddenly in peace at home. For this we are grateful. Until we are all together again. We will never forget the good times we enjoyed with you. C-C We love you and we will always miss you.

Ceasar was the love of our life. He came to us through my brother whose ex fiancée was no longer able to keep him. At four years old and one hundred pounds it was unlikely he would have been adopted. He died today at eight years old, he was a loveable regal character who loved kids(including babies). He was a very well behaved gentle giant who touched the lives of everyone in both our families. Unfortunately, Ceasar had a big heart (cardio-myopia) and no amount of money or medication could help him. We loved him so much that we had to make the choice to set him free. I shed more tears as I write this however the rainbow bridge did give me some hope.

Mike and Gabi

Ceasar was a special dog. He could be very loving, but he had been treated so poorly his entire life that he had trouble trusting. He easily startled and was very protective of anyone that showed him love. His desire to be protective was, in the end, his undoing. After working with him for months it was clear he would always be unpredictable and so could not be released for adoption. I'm sorry we couldn't save you Ceasar. It was not your fault you were treated so poorly.

Cerebus, I miss you so much. I cry all the time and wish so hard that you were still here. You were my baby boy and I love you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with me, and bringing me eight years of laughter. God, take care of my precious angel, he is a truly special spirit. Mama loves you...be a good boy...and I'll see you again someday.

Your unconditional love has left "footprints" on our hearts.

Run and play again, Angel Dog, and one day we will meet at Rainbow Bridge.

Anna Gailey

Ceaser-

We brought you him when I was 2 years old. I remember the ride. You peed on mom's lap. We bought you for grandpa, because his dog had been killed. Grandpa kept you for a couple of years, but him and grandma went into a business and could not keep you there, so you came to our home and became a huge part of our lives. You were the sweetest, kindest dog. We went camping together, and played together and you gave us all unconditional love. You were with me all through my years growing up. As you got older, you started having trouble walking, you had surgery to remove a fatty tumor and seemed to do well for a few years after that. However, you were getting old. I remember the night when I was the only one home and you were crying and crying. I could not figure out what was wrong. I got two pillows and two blankets, one for you and one for me and layed on the floor and cried with you. When mom and dad got home, dad said he was going to take you to the vet tomorrow to see what was wrong. When I came home from school that day, I said, "Where's my dog?" My dad looked at me with tears in his eyes and told me you were gone. I ran to my room and cried and cried. I was so upset that I didn't get to say goodbye. For months, I could almost hear you pushing your nose into my door, and opening it, the way you always did. It took a long time for me to feel better. However, I know you are in a better place. We've had a new dog now for about 4 years that looks just like you. His name is Bubba. I love him greatly. But I have not forgotten you. He has not taken your place, he is just a new puppy face. Everyone loved you Ceaser, and we will all be with you again someday.

My sweet Ceaser, who's only wish was to please your family, you are missed so very much. We love you, sweet boy. You are forever in our hearts. ~Mommy~

We'll never forget you.

Sleep sweetly, tender heart, in peace,

Tribute to my sweet Chali
1983- July 26, 2000

Dear Chali:

I WANT YOU TO KNOW....

(c)by Mary 8/5/00


My little friend Chali,

I want you to know,

I am so very sorry,

That you had to go....


You've been with me so long,

Your a big piece of my heart,

It is hard to imagine,

That we must now be apart.


It hurts so very much,

To see all you went through,

And you fought so very hard,

And I know you felt loved too....

I miss your warm cuddles,

And your back flips too,

I did not think you'd leave...

I just wish that I knew...

Your love has really helped me,

For 16 years of my life,

It has mostly been times of happiness,

Though now I'm filled with strife.

I hope and pray you didn't suffer,

Too much before you layed,

I tried all I could do,

And just wished you could have stayed.

I hope that you are,

In a place gentle and warm,

And your spirit is now free,

And no longer can meet harm.....


Thank you my friend Chali,

For all your years here with me,

You will never be forgotten,

You will always remain with me.

Champ you suffered so much, now your finally free. Mommy

Champers - we love you and miss you soooooo much!!!!!!! Now and forever!! - Your family

Spiro, Robin, Tyler & Stephanie

Champ is sadly missed by his family. (His "mom" and "dad" and "sister" and "brother" and his three "sibling" cats. He was only two years old when he went to the bridge. I want to believe he's in a better place and not in anymore pain. I will never be the same person without him. His passing has been the hardest thing I had to go through in my life so far. We all love him dearly and believe the saying "Its better to have love and lost than to never have loved at all". We love you Champ and you will always be in our hearts. Miss you so much my "Pookie Bear".

Karen Turco

Champ, aka Champers, I miss you and life around the house just isn't the same. Everywhere I turn I expect to see you and you are not there. I look at all your "usual" spots and can't help but to shed a tear, I miss you so very much.
You came into my life when I was just starting out. I was a little scared and it was definitely different being out on my own. You and I became best buddies. I want to Thank You for all the good and funny times you gave to me. I will cherish them until we meet again.
Champers, I am so sorry you are not with me now. I wish I would have known then what I know now. Please forgive me.
Until we meet again. I love You.

Mommy and Precious

Champ was a very close friend and as much of a member of this family as any human could be. May God Take Care of him, any we will Meet again.

Dennis, Sandy, Jacqueline, Jamie Woodams

Champ,

I know you were just a dog to some people. But to me your my best friend. I would just look at you and smile. But now I cry when I think of you. The dog I played with. The dog that would put his head on my lap. Is now leaving me for good. I will miss you and everynight I will look up to the stars and hopefully you will be playing ball with grandpa. I can't think of life with out my big boy. I will miss you running after me and us playing in the front yard. No other dog will replace you in my heart. Your the best of them all. No matter how many dogs I have, you will always be special to me in my heart and in my thoughts. I just wish you can stay with me forever but of course nothing lives forever. And in time I will be joining you up in the big bright sky. But I will just have to remember the great times we have had in the time we had together. God brought us together for some reason. And for another reason he is pulling us part and sending you away from me. But I will see you again. Until then I love you so much.

Love always, Jacqueline

She was my best friend in the whole world! I love her very much!

Kim

To my best friend that I miss dearly!

Thad Szymanski

For a special best friend, How could God have needed you more than I?

Chance was my cocker spaniel, he was the most behaved pet you could Imagine, a one of a kind. He was treated as one of the family he though he was human. He went everywhere. He's been to church, we'll he did wait in the truck, but he'd rather be there than home, he was sure to be waiting at the door he knew when we were dressing ok, i'm leaving; you know he knew, time out' well he also shared that no he never wanted to but knew just when it was coming, but he sat right there till time-out was over. People just couldn't believe when they were over how he'd just sit till i said ok chance you can come out, he knew' and he loved me anyway just like a child would love a mom or dad. It's funny we called ourself just that to him. I'd say where's dad. He'd just look and start sniffing oh yea he'd find whom ever he was seeking. My love is here to stay, i've only got my wonderful memories, my days are so very hard to go through with out my ''chance. ''He was my baby my boy' I always called him my boy 'mama's boy'. But I lost him on 02/08/00. A red cocker spaniel age (3) but they were the best days. People would always tell me if I could come back I would want to be your pet dog. I always took that they knew my boy was my baby.. Mama remember you boy' luv will remain till we cross the bridge and join again.

My Dearest Sweet Chandler,
I remember the day I walked into the bird pet shop. I was only going there for bird food for your "brothers". I saw you sitting on top of the cage playing and I fell in love with you right then and there. You came right onto my hand and started playing with my eyelashes with your tiny beak. You were so little and so cuddly. I took you home and introduced you to you to your 4 "brothers". You made yourself right at home. You brought me so much joy Chandler. You didn't have a mean bone in your little body. How you loved to take your bath first thing in the morning. And then you would play in your cage for hours, amusing yourself while your "brothers" got into all kinds of mischief. The day you left us was a horrible accident. You had just taken your bath, your feathers all wet and the feathers on your little head sticking straight up. I told you as always how silly you looked and you leaned towards me for a kiss. I left the bird room then to let you and the others eat and play. Something must of frightened you because you fell to the floor and lost your way. You starting walking toward your bigger "brother" Ozzy. (A 1 yr old yellow naped amazon). Ozzy wanted to play with you. He didn't mean to hurt you Chandler, I am sure of it. I heard you sceech very lightly and went in to see what was up. It was too late baby. Your little neck was already broken and I wanted to save you - but I couldn't. You looked into my eyes and took your last breath. I held you in my arms for 2 hours not wanting to let you go. I was hoping it was a bad nightmare, that I could breath life back into you. But then the time had come and I had to let you go to the Rainbow Bridge. Did you know how much we all loved you? Do you know our hearts are broken and we miss you so very much? Do you hear us come outside and talk to you? Please forgive Ozzy and please forgive me. You were only on this earth for such a very short time my baby. You were so beautiful and so colorful - like the morning sunrise. Rest peaceful my little baby boy and we will all see you when our time comes to enter the Rainbow Bridge. Please wait for us.

Mommy, Joe, Ziggy, Zimba, Louie & Ozzy

This tribute is to the smartest, most beautiful and loving dog I have ever come across in my life. Chanel was the best sister I could ever have had. She will be greatly missed by everyone who has had the delightful opportunity of meeting her. Now she is running around like a puppy again watching us all from above. I love you Chanel.

To my beloved little girl. You fought so hard to stay with me but your little heart couldn't do it anymore. I love you so very much and mommy and daddy will miss you dearly. We will never forget you. I always told you that you were an angel from heaven that god sent you to me. Take care my little girl for now you will not be in any pain. Sebastian and Monkey miss you for you are their big sister. I love you!

Crystal

Chang Chi, the world's smartest cat, we will all miss you. Your special friend Player sends his regards. You were one of the two best cats in the world, and we will always love you.

Laurel Tryforos

Channa was such a strong dog from the day we bought her. She never would give up without a fight as she proved to us from day one. She was always up for an afternoon nap under the blankets and loved to give kisses and always had more to give than we could receive. We will never forget her and she will be missed so much.

Lacy was a beautiful, loyal, and funny dog. She loved to run and play. She was smart enough to know her limits though. You see, she died of SAS, a terrible heart defect. She loved ice, squeaky toys, and tennis balls. She enjoyed being rubbed on her breastbone and would sit up and wrap her paws around my arm and beg to be petted. She would lean her head back so far sometimes, she would fall over. We would laugh and she would just wag her tail.
Lacy lived her short life loved by many and will be terribly missed in the coming days and months. Our family will remember Lacy in our heart forever.
Pam Schneider

What to say? Just a mute by breed, but a member of the family.... and my best friend.......... I know I did the right thing honey, but we loved you so much, the whole family has cried all day, and I suspect will do so for many days to come....... BUT I know we will meet again in a better time and place, until then not a day will go by that we do not think of you, and miss you........I love you honey.......
Mom

Snuggy, this is your mommy and I miss you so very much. This is your first Christmas on the Rainbow Bridge and this is my first Christmas without you. I got your dad a Christmas card from you, just like I always did. You know he loves you with all his heart. Charity, thank you for loving us. You made our lives so very special. I am so thankful for the years we had together. Until we meet again, remember you are loved, I mean really loved.
The greatest Christmas gift would be to have our girl home with us. WE MISS YOU!
We love you. Merry Christmas Snuggy.
Love, Mom and Dad

Bob and Debie Brown

Our wonderful, faithful loving Charky passed away last Thursday and went across the bridge to be with our dog, Cubby, who went there himself just before Thanksgiving last year. She gave us almost 20 years of undying love and companionship. We will miss her tremendously. Charky will live in our hearts and memories forever. And we look forward to the day when we will be reunited with her. We love you, Charky. Tell Cubby we miss and love him, too. And it won't be long before we join both of you never to be separated again.

Dick, Jill, Ashley & Brynn Anderson

My darling, beautiful boy..........I will miss you forever. You will be forever in my heart. You just had to leave me and I'm sorry............I didn't want you to hurt anymore...... Love, Mommy

Charley, you were a belated joy. You came to us last year as a rescue poodle after Fred passed on. Soon you adjusted to Ginny and me and tried to regain puppyhood, surprising us with the energy with which you attacked your squeaky toy. You were not without problems. With epilepsy, dysplasia, and arthritis, many days presented a challenge. But your courage never faltered. Finally, an auto-immune disease destroyed your ability to respond to treatment. You knew it was time. But even as your energy and capacity dwindled, there was still recognition and excitement in your eyes. Ginny and I love you Charley. In less than a year, you gave us a lifetime of devotion and pleasure. Go to the bridge. I hope Fred is waiting for you, so the two of you can cross together. If he is not, wait for me. I won't be too long. Find Fluffy. You'll like him; he will let you be boss.
Goodbye for now.
Lee

Charley, My sweet and gentle baby boy. You were my baby for over 16 years. I know you were tired and hurt and wanted me to make it better. My brave boy. You stayed with me until I was ready to set you free. My heart broke that day and you took it with you. I miss the sweet kisses and beautiful eyes. Your smile, your velvet ears. I miss YOU so desperately. I love you my gooneybird. Sweet dreams my precious boy.

Sara Shaw

Little Charley was a sweet little rescue puppy who only was in our care for five days when she developed and was unable to recover from distemper. This little puppy had been left abandoned and in a shelter prior to arriving to us, but for the five days we shared with her she was loved and a small portion of her young life contained happiness. Charley the bridgekids will teach you and Cookie and Buddy will watch over you to show you the way, you will be remembered always and loved by us.

Janet and Teresa

We had to send the best companion we ever had over the Rainbow Bridge today. Charli was the kindest of souls. He never needed training, always there with his own brand of comfort when we were upset or ill, and bouncing with enthusiasm when we were happy. He attended Marshall University studio classes when I was in Art School and proclaimed best student from two instructors. He never met an enemy but always had friends. Charli shared nine years of his life with us before we introduced Barkley into the household. He always conducted himself as a dignified statesman and will be unimaginably missed.

Kim & Harrell Duff

Charlie was a great dog, he was put in a kennel when his first owner went into the hospital to have surgery and then died. My sister worked at the kennel and brought him home. He was 10 years old at the time and we didn't think we had much time with him. He surprised us all as he lived to over 17 years old. He was a wonderful friend. We love and miss him very much.

Sue

Charlie, we miss you so very much already.
We take comfort in knowing that you will be chasing baseballs in heaven for eternity. There will never be another Golden like you.

Claudia & Tom King

This is the end of an era. Charlie was a member of our family for 15 glorious years and brought us much joy. We will always remember the happy, playful times we shared together. Now you'll be reunited with Bunny Will and Strong Tiger. We love you dearly and think of you fondly. Thanks for a lifetime of puppy dog "tales". You were the best.

The Sandy Family

We miss you Charlie, so much. God bless you. We will see you at the Rainbow Bridge one day.

Love
Daniel & Jacob

Charlie, you will always be our boy! We will never forget the way you flapped your wings in anticipation of "room service". We still save the first and last bite of a cheese burger just for you. Cooking bacon is hard because we want you to have the best pieces of fat. Saturday will never be the same without you singing "Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna doooooo....". Your window is empty and we miss you so. We are sad but we know you won't have to suffer any more. You are now whole and we are happy. We look forward to the day when we will be with you again! We love you! Karen, Momma Margi, Carrie, Bridget, Barney & Lucy.

Be happy, Charlie. You were so special for such a short time.

Angel

He was a rescue guy. He was too busy for his own good. We only had him for 4 months. He lost out to an auto.
Charlie will live on we planted a tree in memory of him. Let's hope it doesn't get too big, his collar is holding it in place.
Love you your dog and cat and we miss you alot Love Win & Hank

Tribute: To my baby. I love you with all my heart forever and ever. Please be happy and watch over me. You are my bestfriend, my love, the reason I rode. I don't know why God took you the way he did and I don't know why that fire happened. Please have fun and play and gallop with all of the other 30 horses that died in the blaze. I miss you and think of you always. I love you sweetheart. Watch out for the other 30 baby. They are missed and loved very much. Lots of love, kisses, and carrots to you!

Caitlin

Charlie was a sweet little piglet who provided lots of love. We're going to miss her.

The Aust Family

I knew the end your suffering would be the beginning of mine

My bed is empty and lonely without you laying your body next to mine....I miss the weight of your body on my chest as you gently tapped my face to wake me up and feed you. I miss your silent meows with the one paw lifted off the floor (simply for effect I know...but it always worked). I miss you tripping me as we ran to answer the door together. I miss you throwing yourself on the front step and rolling around so to scratch yourself. I miss you laying on my lap while I read. I miss running my hands through your long silky fur. I miss hearing and feeling your purr as I pet you. I miss those slow delicious looks you would give me...the ones that would express your complete and undeniable comfort. I miss playing mouse to your intrepid wildcat.

If there was any way that I could have continue your life any longer I would. But you were in so much pain, there was no more hope, the pain would have become worse and your quality of life would have depleted very quickly, and I simply couldn't let you suffer anymore. Please forgive me.

Take care my friend and know that I love you...forever, for always, and no matter what.

Kathy

Why do some dogs touch your heart more than others, and thus make saying goodbye that much more difficult.?

Hentoshs Charmaster (Charlie B. Min Pin) was born to us and we knew he would it would be an everlasting relationship. Taken too early from bad health, I am trying to understand why he is gone. Playing ball until he would drop, jumping high in the air and just being everywhere I was is what I choose to remember. He is thought of everyday and missed beyond belief. His memory is cherished and celebrated with much love. Even though he is in heaven sometimes we feel him beside me and fight to understand why he isn't. Rest in Peace Beautiful Boy until I see you again.

Charlies Mom- Marty Hentosh

Beloved Friend, I am heart broken over the loss of you. I look forward to seeing you again at the rainbow bridge. Please promise mommy that you will be there. I LOVE you and always will.

Love, Your mommy

A piece of my heart is missing, for I have lost a very dear friend. You brought so much joy and happiness into my life for many years. You taught me patience,trust and what unconditional love really was.
You were there when only sadness surrounded me, you were there when no other could be found, you were there to lick my tears away, you were there to listen when I needed to talk or whenever I needed a hug. You were always at the door waiting my return your tail wagging so fiercely and barking with much excitement. You could always bring a smile to my face. If I ever got mad at you, you always forgave me and always did what I asked without question.
I'm sorry I prolonged the inevitable while you were in pain.I could just look in your eyes and see how tired you were, I just wasn't ready to say goodbye, but I know you understood I wasn't being mean on purpose. The thought of not seeing you everyday pained my heart. I finally realized it wasn't GOODBYE only till we MEET-AGAIN!!!
I LOVE YOU MY DEAR FRIEND-YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN-THANK YOU!!!!!!

Sueann Child

My Charlie, the sweetest cat just passed at the age of 20 years. Although I had to help her along the way (cancer in 2 organs) it broke my heart to let my lovely lady go. Although she was frightened of everything except people, and spent her entire life in my bedroom (she would not leave the room!) she added immeasurably to my life. The day before we said goodbye, she followed me out to the backyard. this was an absolute first. Although I was so excited to see her outside, I also knew it was a sign something was wrong. Thanks for telling me, Charlie, I love you. sit with Monkalups at the bridge and wait for me. Lori Catanzaro

Charlie was the dearest of the dear. He was my Prince Charles, sitting with his noble chest so proud. The light of his memory will be with me for all of my remaining days. He was sweet, loving and kind. He wore his emotions on his foreleg, so to speak. He had an endearing vulnerability. He never failed to be there to kiss away his Mommie's tears, when she needed it. His kooky little sense of humor makes me tear up right now, but in time I know it will bring a smile to my lips as we share a funny moment in my memory. He was forever the gentle trickster with me. "Our" game was his stealing one of my dressed bears from the bedroom, placing it somewhere in the living room for me to discover. I always played along with him, exclaiming, "Who got my bear?" Charlie would go about the room with his "happy boy" prance. Charlie found his way into the hearts of those who met him and those that knew him only through my words. There is a big hole in our lives. Will and 'Dozer and I miss him terribly.

Sharon Johnson

We love you Charlie, you were very beautiful and loving, we will always remember you...

The Richardson Family

Charlie was the best dog that there ever was, he was one of my best friends and I am missing him desperately. He had to be put to sleep because he had trouble breathing. He suffered from an enlarged heart and had to be given five tablets a day. He was a beautiful dog and I hope he comes back to visit us all because he is loved so much and nobody will ever forget him.

Nicolle

Charlie was a wonderful friend and companion of almost 11 years. He is greatly missed. He had his fight with diabetes and I finally had to make a decision that I wished I never had to make. Unfortunately, he wouldn't eat anymore and I knew in my heart, his time with me had ended. He will never be forgotten and will always hold a very special place in my heart. I love you Charlie boy!!

Carla

Charlie was with me since I was 6 years old.
As a military brat, she traveled the world with my family.
I have no memories of life before her.
She would have been 24 this May.
I don't have words to express how much I want to thank her for the comfort and love she gave to me and express how incredibly lonely and adrift I am without her.
She was my oldest, dearest, and most giving friend.
She stayed by my side longer than any other friend.
I wish her peace now.

Dolores E. Di Francesco

Charlie was a stray that was taken in by my cousins 2 years ago. He had a happy life out in the country with plenty of room to run, and friends to play with. His life was ended protecting his home from a pit bull that cut him down before his time.

Jeanne Roberts

I Love you so much my Darling Charlie Brown,
You were our life, and you gave us so much love, just like we gave you. You gave us so much joy and happiness over your 5 and a half years of life, and we love you for that. You will always live on in our hearts and memories forever. We miss you so much, and hope you have found peace in heaven with Moffet, Tuppence and Spinner, may they take you under their wings and give you lots of love. Love you now, like I will miss and love you forever.
Love always, Virginia, Faye and Max xxxxxoooooo

My Charlie
The day I first met you, your tail wagged and you wanted to play. You climbed into my lap and showed me love and companionship for all of the past eleven years. If you could see today, you would still, my friend want to play.

They say that a dog is just an animal, but you have been much more...a friend. A faithful friend who has listened, and shown me unconditional love each day. Even though you didn't say anything, your beautiful brown eyes showed you cared.

In five houses we've taken you and after each move, you've always found your niche. Whether it be in a chair, on the back of the sofa or near that sunny window, you loved so well, you found your place

My friend, today as we send you to heaven, where I know All dogs go, do not forget me, for you will always be in my heart. No dog could take your place, but you have taught me to love and care, I hope that someday another will come along and I will have the honor of having that dog in my heart too.

In heaven there is no pain, and all can see, today my friend, chase a bunny or two and play until I get there. I love you.

Kathy Mainz

Charlie was a very special boy in my life, he was the 1st baby in the house when we got married in 1986.
he welcomed our twin girls in to the home when they were born in August 1986 and became very protective of them.
Charlie gave us so much joy in the thirteen years that we had him and in late October 1998 he became very tired and did not want to eat any more. On 4th November the vet came to our house and told us he was dying and that we should set him free. This was the hardest thing we ever had to do in our lives. Charlie died in our arms at 11 minutes past 7
that evening, he died with dignity and his family around him.
Charlie has a very special place in the garden he is buried
under the cherry blossom tree which was and still is his favourite place. I can talk to him every day and we will never forget him
We love you Charlie
Love Bev, John, Kate & Julia

I buried my sweet Charlotte at noon today. She died quietly next to me last night while we were sleeping.

Charlotte, you were so good and brave and fought such a good fight. I thought you would make it but God had other plans for you. I am so sorry and I am so sad. I loved taking care of you for the last month. I would have handfed you for the rest of your life. And, so, I guess I did.

I know that you are at the "Rainbow Bridge" with PC and Buttercup. My three beautiful cockatiel girls -- all together. We will light candles for you on Monday night -- I want all three of you to look down and see us. We love you all very much and we miss you.

Donna, David, Dixie (Charlotte's mate), Spike (Charlotte's son), and Smokey

Chasca was my first big bird and my heart and soul. When she died I was in California on vacation. I went to try to walk out my grief on the beach, and she joined me there flying free. My spirit burst free to join her. She gave me a sand dollar that day and is with me often, but especially, on a beach, I feel her join me and we fly together.

Marty Stone

To the best dog (friend),
Chase didn't care what you looked like or how you smelled. All he wanted to do was give you the best that he had.
I will miss our walks in the woods, on the beach and in the mountains. He was my best friend. He went with me everywhere. He slept with me & my wife even thou he weighted 80lbs.
He was no trouble at all. He never went in the house. He was always waiting at the window for me, he knew the sound of my car. When I came in tonite there no familiar face at the window and no wagging of that I'm so glad to see you tail.
The longer you were away the happier he was to see me.
I'll miss my brother.
My heart is sad.

Patrick D

My little girl,
now that your gone , I can't help but think what you meant to me. My life will be forever changed for your love and spirit is now in my heart .as I held you for the last time I felt my soul leave with yours. I long for the day we meet again in the sky. "oh great spirit" watch over my little girl!

George Sabol

Our little chauncey had to be put down due to kidney failure & what hurts the most is we could not be w/him when he left us as we were @work. I still think of him on a daily basis as he slept w/us @nite & was my buddy. God Bless you Chauncey & I'm looking forward to seeing you when I cross over the rainbow bridge.

Johnny

My best friend is gone.... I will never be the same...... I will see you on the other side buddy..

Peter Fritz

We loved you from the moment we met you. You were so special. You were kind, loving and compassionate. You were a little peace maker. We will always love you. No one knew how sick you were but you knew. You waited till you came home to die. You got your way. Good! Goodbye my beloved Chauncey I will always love you.

One beautiful, sweet, wonderful pet. We miss her.

Annie

You were my first baby. I think of you often, Take care of Bandit and Cookie. Love mommie

After an extended battle with pancreatitis and hepatic lipidosis, we decided to help Checkers pass on. He was an extremely lovable and friendly cat who will be sorely missed.

Melissa Dow

Our Cheddar will be greatly missed!

Terry, Mo, A.J. & Meghan

My Friend, Loyal to the end, Love of my heart, a honorable son who will be sorely missed. You did your best, and had a strong heart. Your dads will always miss you.

You will always be remembered with a fond heart.

With all our Love

My fury lovable feline friend...

My best fried died last night in my arms on the way to the emergency vet hospital.. I loved him very much and he will be missed very very much. I cried all night last night and everytime I go in the bathroom I cry. (he used to race me to the bathroom in the morning) I've already begun to be late for work (he used to be my alarm clock crying as it went off to alert me it was time to get out of bed). He used to know when I needed a hug, he slept on my pillow with me right above my head... I just wanted to let the world know how much I will miss him...

Karen Burton

He was the patriarch of our gerbil clan and had his own website (http://cheesel.homestead.com). He was very nervous but gentle. He loved to run in his wheel. Cheesel had a tumor on his scent gland. Although he had it for sometime, in the end it got bigger and split open, leaving poor Cheesel bleeding. Although he did not appear to be in pain, we knew it must have hurt and I told my husband I could not stand to see him like that. So we said our good byes to our old pet and he was put down. He's buried in our yard now, with a cement squirrel watching over him and two other young gerbils.

Cheesel, I hope St. Francis gives you many sunflower seeds to eat and a really nice wheel to run in. I hope you can also get a tasty spot to chew on the pearly gates.

Renee

Good-bye little Cheetah. You were the sweetest most loving little creature of the rat persuasion in the world. I will miss your warm quick heart beat in my ear, your whiskers on my cheek, your satisfied grackling noises, but most of all I will miss how much joy you could bring to Wally. You were my little ambassador of perseverance in the face of pain and adversity. You made him smile with your little rat kisses and licks and with your late night antics to entice us to release you from your cage so you could go exploring. You walked the human arm bridge between us and became part of us. Now the Great Mother has released you from the cage of this earth.

I know you are at rest now little one, and I know that your soul, like a huge billowing golden sail, has expanded and caught the Goddess' light - you travel Home, afar off in Tir na Nog. May you always scurry in fields of sweet clover, with raisins, and almonds, and apples, and carrots all around. May you be safe from the cold and rain and may you always remember in your little heart of light the warm hands of Wally and me left here behind. I see your eyes still as you lay dying, like tiny roses in the setting sun. I thank the Goddess and the Horned God for your dear life. Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again.

Billy

Cheetos was a very special cat because she meant the world to some people that I loved very dearly. Cheetos belonged to my mother and father. My dad found her when she was a stray or perhaps lost. He would put milk out for her, knowing she would come around. At that time in 1988, my mother did not like cats at all! They adopted her and she became their family pet. My mother passed away in 1993 and Cheetos was my fathers only companion. He would drive thousands of miles to another state to see some of his children in the summertime with Cheetos beside him in his car. Four years later my father passed away and Cheetos was left abandoned again. My husband and I adopted her to our family. She adapted just great! My dad named her Cheetos because she had some orange color around her mouth, as if she ate some Cheetos. She was so cute with her white bootie paws. Whenever we would drive up in the driveway, Cheetos was right there to greet us when we opened the car door. She will be greatly missed. She is now in Rainbow Bridge with my mom and dad.

The best dog that ever was. He truly was the ultimate in his time. He was always there for me and my kids. He was like a breath of fresh air. He made me feel really good when I was feeling sad. Now you are up in dog heaven. The girls and I will forever miss you our lovely dog. He brought so much joy and love into our lives. He loved us unconditionally. WE are so glad we got to see you before you died. All our love Heather, Celeste, Anna and Kim

We wish to pay tribute to an extraordinary dog, who taught us so much about love, patience, trust, and the power of destiny.

Her presence was a gift, her absence an incredible loss.

We hope she forgives us for making such a difficult decision. We hope she knows how much we love her and want her to have peace.

If she watches our tears they track the hundreds of memories we have of this beautiful creature. She'll see my hand, in vain, reach for her soft neck, no stroke of love and comfort to give anymore.

Until next time "pooka", with love,

Denise and Bob and the rest of the fuzzies.

Our little girl had to go to heaven on April 12th 2000. I held her in my arms while the vet gave her the final shot. she was very old and failing. I could not bear to see her suffer any longer. she gave us many years of love and happiness. her little bark remains in my ears. the way she gave us kisses remains on our faces. our hearts are longing to be with her again. we have many pictures of her, and we keep her blanket at the foot of our bed. she was a dedicated friend, our little bundle of love. we remember all the little tricks she did just to make us happy. when sad times came into our lifes, she was always there by our sides, with her little tail wagging. when we looked into her eyes they glowed with never ending love. my arms ache for her, and tears still flow. I look forward to meeting her by the bridge and picking her up and enjoying her sweet kisses. thank-you, Chellsea, for giving us tremendous joy, and love. we will always love you, girl.

Mom and Dad.

My little angel, you have blessed my life immeasurably with your love.

Tonja Nansel

Chelsea, you hold a very special place in my heart and I miss you dearly. The house feels so empty without you. I will love and remember you forever. I am relieved that your pain is gone but now I must carry the pain in my heart of missing you. My heart is so broken but I know I will hold you again. Until then, know that I love you with all my heart and I will never forget my best friend, my little angel girl.

Joanne Fatur

Chelsea Kuehn was the most wonderful creature ever to be put on the face of this earth. She was brave and stoic until the end. Even though she was in so much pain because of an illness no living creature deserves to have, she suffered in silence, never complaining, and always offering love and comfort to those of us who needed it, even when she was probably the one who needed it more than anyone else. I pray that God will look after her and take care of her now, so that she may finally be happy and find some peace. I love you Chelsea, you will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank-you so much for making my life so much richer.

Caroline Kuehn

To remember a special member of our family, Chelsea who was taken from us suddenly and unexpectedly today. We will all miss her loving presence, and will never forget her. All our love from Rob, Julie, Tamara and Charley.

Dear little Grumpy Puss, you will be much missed, and forever loved. May the grass in the meadow over the Bridge be sweet, and all the seeds be fresh. When you find Chubb, let him know that we miss him very much too.

Until we see you again.

Pam & Jason

Chelsea, you will always be in our hearts, family members are never forgotten. When daddy died a year ago, you were mom's loving companion, helping to ease her grief. We now grieve for you, but we thankfully rejoice that you are at peace and with dad. We miss you terribly. God blessed us with you. God bless you.

Esther Margolius

My loss is greater than any words at the moment. I can not really express the great amount of love and joy she brought into my life. She will be cherished within my heart and soul, a picture of beauty in my mind. I know Chelsea will be at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for me to arrive.

Doug Brown

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think and miss my Chelsea. I know she is in a better place. In the end she was sick. After all these years it's still hard without her.

Betty Ann

Thank you, sweet Chelsea dog, for choosing us to be your family. The seven and a half years you so lovingly shared with us were an unmeasurable blessing. You unflinchingly gave of yourself, never asking for much more than an ear-scratch or a hug. Even in the end, you never once complained - probably knowing we were too weak to see you suffer. We will always love you and hope you'll keep watch over us until we can see you again. Love, Mommy, Daddy and Lexi

Now that my head is clear, I want to share with you what happened to our family last week because I want you and Bill to love your dog-children with every ounce of your beings and I humbly ask for your prayers for comfort as we sort through our emotions. We had to put Chelsea to sleep last week, very suddenly - and I am sharing my heartbroken feelings with all of my fellow pet-lovers to help them cherish there companions while they can.... I hope this doesn't bum you out - I want it to hopefully teach a lesson of love and compassion...that's what Chelsea would have wanted.

Chelsea had been slowing down recently - but mostly we attributed it to boredom and the heat. She still loved to swim and go for walks with us (in fact, the weekend before her passing, she went on a 2-mile walk with us and swam a LOT, but I could tell she was dragging), but slept most of the time other than that. After a few days of Chelsea quietly telling me something was not right with her (never a complaint or even a whimper!), I took her to the doctor last Tuesday morning for a check-up. Although the doctor couldn't see anything immediately wrong, she took some blood and a chest X-ray at my insistence. I knew something was not right. Unfortunately, the X-rays came back with bad news…Chelsea's heart had grown to over twice it's normal size and was taking up most of the room in her chest. Her lungs did not look good either, so choose to have an ultrasound done the next day.

Chelsea came home with us Tuesday night, and although she wouldn't eat, drink or even pee, she still wagged her tail at us and gave us some really nice dog "snuggies" (that's what Lexi calls 'em!). Neither David nor I slept well…her breathing was labored - but she still didn't complain, cry or whine even once. She quietly told me, as her Mommy, that she was not feeling very well. I slept on the floor with her most of the night, nose to nose. She sucked in the Reiki as fast as I could get it to her - and she waged her tail at me for my gentle kisses on her face. It reminded me of the comfort I took as a new mommy with Lexi - having your baby sleep right next to you brings a certain sense of security and peace of mind - you can hear every little breath - every heart-beat. It brought both of us a great sense of comfort - and she actually slept soundly for the first time in a week!

We took her back into the doctor Wednesday, and after waiting all day, we finally got word at about 3:30 that Chelsea was very sick with an advanced form of a very aggressive blood cancer, which had closed down more than half of her heart's function and much of her lungs as well. They suspected that there were no doubt other tumors around her body, but because the heart was so badly impaired, it didn't really matter. There was nothing that modern medicine could do for her. The doctors were wonderful, and compassionate when they shared that there was nothing really that could be done for her, and that, at most, she would have maybe a day or at most a week to live, but that she was very uncomfortable. With very sad hearts, David, Lexi and I went to hospital to be with her on Wednesday evening, and she greeted us with tail wags and her smiles…although it was clear she was not feeling well, it seemed she wanted us not to worry too much about her. Chelsea gave us permission to help her make her transition, and after a lot of loving, hugs and kisses, we sat with her as the doctor helped her go to the angels. It was amazingly peaceful, and I'm glad our whole family (sans Steven) got to be there with her as she left this plane.

I am, of course, extremely sad right now, as are David and Lexi. Lexi has been especially insightful...whenever she sees me particularly sad she says "no worry Mommy - just close your eyes and you can see Chelsea in your heart and in your dreams." Ahhh...I wish it was as easy for grown-ups to heal as it is for the little ones. Chelsea was an amazing gift in our lives and we are so blessed that she chose us to be her family. We are sad that her life had to end so soon, but are glad that she did not have to suffer horribly - and in the end, went peacefully "home." We always knew she had a big heart…apparently her big, loving heart and compassionate spirit just outgrew her physical body…and she is happy now. We see her now as a puppy again...running and playing with no pain or exhaustion. She will always be my "first-born" child - and she will always be here with us in our hearts.

Our furry children are such a blessing in our lives...please, in honor of Chelsea, hug your pets and tell them how much you love them every minute you can. They teach us sooooo much and give to us so unconditionally - it is the one small thing we can give them in return!

Much love and blessings,

Kim

Our sweet little Aussie, Chelsea, journeyed to the Rainbow Bridge Sunday after fighting osteosarcoma for over 7 months. She was our wonderful, smart and funny doggie who brought endless joy to our lives. She will always be in our hearts.

Joan

Rest in peace, sweet Chelsea. If only you could have told me you were ill sooner. I will miss you terribly and shall always think of you. Rest in peace.

Phil Shulkind

My beautiful Chelsea,

I'm so sorry you suffered the final days of your life. Everything we did to try to keep you alive was out of love. If we had known for a moment it wasn't to be, we would have let you go when you first began to suffer. We miss you so much, and life will never be the same. You were the love of my life for 12 years and are truly an angel. Thank you for all the joy you brought into our lives. Until we meet again...

Mommy, Daddy, and Mindy

This is a tribute to my special girl, Chelsea. A dog who touched my life in more ways than one. She influenced my whole family. She was there to greet you at the door, no matter how long you were gone for, she was always ready to play offering her toy to anyone. She was my morning girl to, she would always be ready to be petted when I came downstairs, waiting for her morning carrot. My ladybug, my buzza, my booba-girl, my bear, whatever I called her she always was there. This makes me smile when I write it. Thinking of her. She will be missed by all who loved her.

Melanie Lally

To my special girl. I was Mom to you, Chelsea for your entire 12 1/2 years on this earth. When you were 3 days old you were abandoned by your real mother because, I suppose, you weren't really meant to live but I found you, brought you back to life and made you live. I gave you the best life you could have possibly had because I loved you so very much. Letting you go was the hardest thing I have ever had to do but I know you are happy and free of pain, now.

I look for you everywhere when I pass through the rooms and I think I see you laying on the end of the bed or waiting by the kitchen door for your chicken. I had to stop myself from fixing the blinds this morning so that you could have the sunlight you dearly loved.

I'll never forget that mine was the first voice you ever heard and I'll never forget how you strained to see where that sound was coming from. I was so happy and joyous, seeing you look for me when you heard me call your name.

I know things have been rough and your life has not been as good as it was in the beginning but I did everything in my power to keep you happy and well until the end. I miss you terribly and I will never, ever, forget you.

I love you Chelsea, forever.....Mom

Chelsea....God granted me the most wonderful treasure on Earth when He gave you to me. Thank you for being the most loving and dearest friend a person could ever ask for, and for always being by my side, especially through all the rough times in my life. I miss you so very much, and I can't wait to be reunited with you again at the Rainbow Bridge to spend all eternity with you. I will never forget the smell of your fuzzy little face, and the feel of your sweet little body. I love you very much.
Love forever,
Mom

This special love was a rescued dog - she was the most wonderful pet - a member of our family. She was the child I never had and the daughter my husband never had. Our lives revolved around her needs and we never once regretted not taking a trip or going out for an evening because she needed us. We gave her the very best of care and medical attention, which she needed desperately. She had many health problems, but it was our joy to take care of her and love her and she loved us back with every angel hair on her soft little head. There wasn't a person who met her that didn't fall in love with her - she was so gentle and easy to work with. We miss her terribly, and always will. We'll look forward to seeing her on the Rainbow Bridge.

Judy & Marty

We miss our little lady so much. My daughter misses Chelsea coming in to her room in the morning when she was getting ready for school for a morning scratch. My son misses Chelsea at night because she would always be waiting for him to get into bed and snuggle up to him, even till the day she passed she some how managed to jump up onto his bunk bed. She touched us in a way I can't put into words but we will remember her forever. Thank you for having such a wonderful site as this.

Tammy, Steve, Elliott, Emily

We will miss you, our sweet little Chelsea Belle. You are gone from our lives, but will be in our hearts always.

We hope that you have gone on to a place where there is no pain. A place where there will always be sunshine to bask in, heater vents to sit on, and lamp shades to sit under. We will miss all of your quirky little habits and your funny "meow". Every time we drive in the car or go out on our little boat, we will think of you. We will remember you always, for we loved you so very much. Thank you for bringing so much joy to our lives.

Betsy, Dave, Emily and Audrey

My beautiful brown girl, I love you forever.

Russ

Thank you Chelsee, for all your love and for picking us for your family...we miss you every day...but your love lives on forever in our hearts....

Shirley and Jessica

MY little sweet pea, I miss you so much. You were the best friend anyone could have. You were always there for me as I was for you. We had so much fun together as I'd take you everywhere. You loved riding in the car, either with your little head out the window or sitting on the console so you could see. Everyone that would meet you would fall in love with you as were so adorable and friendly. You have touched so many peoples lives with your love and compassion. You were always there for me during my ups and downs- when I'd cry you would come into my lap to kiss away the tears. You know how much I loved you cause I'd pick you up everyday to hug and kiss you. I noticed you aging this past year with your little cataracts and your hearing perception was beginning to go, but you still had your little spunk, always greeting me at the door and you'd be with me in whatever room I was in the house. I prayed you'd live to be here when our baby girl is born in Feb but God had other plans. I remember telling Bruce one day that God is giving me another little girl, but will be taking my first one away. I'm so sad over you passing on, I didn't think it would have been so soon. I know it's a blessing that you went in your sleep without any pain. I know you're having fun with Sophie and Gretchen at the Rainbow Bridge. I will always think about you Chelsey and never forget the love and great times we had together. I'm so glad that you were a part of my life. Until we meet again, I LOVE YOU CHELSEY! XOXOXOXOX, Mommy

Chelsey was a cairn terrier born on 3/1/88 and when she came into my life 6 weeks later she grabbed a hold of my heart and never let go. She was the best dog, a once in a lifetime dream dog that everyone wishes for. She always kept me company and was my little shadow. She was afraid of loud noises but was a great little watchdog that managed to scare away the mailman and all delivery men. At least she thought she did and was so proud of herself. Everything was fine until she turned 9 years old and then she got sick and was diagnosed with liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease. We kept those under control and she still thrived. Then 2 years ago she was diagnosed with a horrible eye disease that's only genetic to her breed. She was going blind and would have to have her eyes removed when completely blind. We did all we could to retain what sight we could with 6 different eye drops put in her eyes 3 times a day. Then the worst thing happened on Dec. 12, 1999. She tore the ligament in her hind leg. For the next three months she went downhill despite many hospital stays and lots of doctors at Tufts vet school trying to save her. She was diagnosed with diabetes in February and came home on insulin and all seemed okay for a short week and a half. Then all of a sudden on March 14 she took ill again. I rushed her to Tufts where they found an abscess on her liver and again we tried to do what we could to save her. For the next 2 days she courageously tried to fight the septic blood infection that was consuming her but her little fragile body was tired and on St. Patrick's Day I had to end my sweet baby's suffering. Her breathing was labored and even though she didn't wag her tail she did manage to give me two nose licks to let me know she loved me and understood how painful this was to me. I would have given time off of my own life to still have her with me whole and healthy again. My life will never be the same without Chelsey but I'm a better person to have been lucky enough to have had her love for 12 years. Chelsey, I love you, miss you more than anything and sleep with your little blanket that you slept on for years and the one you also died on. Please forgive me for having to let you go that fateful St. Patrick's Day 2000.

Susan McLaughlin

Chelsie was not considered the "family pet". She was like a sister to me. She was always there for me in good times and bad. It seemed like she always knew when I needed her by my side. She is loved and missed deeply.

Jill Marie

You were a beautiful dog and friend to the end. So sweet never selfish, always forgiving and loyal. We will miss you - till we meet again my beautiful Chena - Beana. We Love You!

Tyler, Avery, Hunter, Maui and Tigger

Cher was the best dog in the whole world to me. I'll miss her so much she was my best friend. Rest in peace good and faithful companion.

Liz Johnson

To my special baby who had brought me so much joy for the past eight years.
Mummy will always miss you.

You were only with us for a year and a half but I still miss you.

Pamela Bogart-Macfarlane

My beautiful girl did the unspeakable and took the lives of two of my bet pet friends when I was not there to defend them. I did not have the capacity to forgive or forget such an act. she was such special dog but I could not do enough...

Cathy Stewart

He does and always will have a special place in everyone's heart.

Lauran Marlow

What a great loss. I'll miss him - until we meet again!

Mommy (Cathy)

My chessie cat was hit by a hit and run driver a few weeks ago. She hated my other cats but I always had a connection with her, sort of that special touch that no one understands...I miss her to death. I love you chessie. You'll always be in my heart.

Rachel

Chester was the most loving, gentle, kindest, patient dog we have ever known. We miss him more than I could ever have imagined.

Russ & Paula Osborne

Chester was a well loved cat, although I don't think he ever realized he was a cat. He was pretty sure he was the baby of our family, and I guess he was right. We took good care of him, which makes his sudden death all the harder to accept. But, accept we must.

Chester, I wish you were here now to steal the kid's pie, pee in the bathtub, and trip me in the kitchen while I cook dinner. Thank you Chester, for being there when the kids were scared, I was lonely, or Scott was hurting. Thank you for listening to me sing when no one else in the world would. And most of all, thank you for being you. Chester, I want you back so bad, I'm not sure how to handle it. We all love you, miss you, and cry for you.

Kathi, Scott, Eric, Alex, and Jake.

Chester, we love you! Every day we find new things to miss about you! Your pain and suffering are over - your eyesight restored! Be happy and run free!

Scott, Andrew & Betsy

To one brave little sugar boy, you will be sorely missed by us all. Rest easily now Chester and hug my boy Fletcher for me.

Marcia Flynn For Claire Held and Family

~~~~~ CHESTER ~~~~
We miss you so much little buddy. You never got to grow up to be a big boy, you only had 6 months and 19 days to live. We enjoyed every second with you, we miss you so much. You finally got to chase a car, now you understand why we never let you go by the street. We haven't put your toys away or your new food & water dishes, we keep hoping you will come back to us. We can't believe we'll never hear you bark again, we'll never rub your belly again, we'll never get to hold you again. It doesn't seem real. We love you baby boy, we miss you. XOXOXOXOXOXOXO LOVE, MOMMY, DADDY, GRAMA & GRAMPA

Gina & Jason

I loved you so much, Chester.

Sage Giordano

We have lost him for but a little while, and so Thankful we had him by our sides for so long.

Sandy, James, Krystal, Amber

Chester was a beloved "son", "brother", "granddoggy" & friend to all who knew him. He was kind and wonderful. Even the cats miss him. He is now with his Grandpa playing with the frisbee and "uglybug". Chester, I miss you. Love, Mommy

I just want to say how much I miss you, your face, your floppy paws, your gentle sweet nature, you who loved everyone unconditionally, I love you too, so much, and hope one day I will see you again, and pet your sweet belly as you press your paw against my face. I love you Chester, and I miss you so much.

Hillary

Chester was a great horse!! He is loved and missed greatly!! We all love you my Chester!!

Heather

Chester (Super Chester), 1988-1/1/99 Heather

Chester was my favorite horse,
I loved him lots and lots of course.
He was my best friend until that day,
The vet said Chester could no longer stay.
Your poor leg was broken soo very bad,
When I heard the news I was soo sad.
I knew you wouldn't be happy stuck in a stall,
The vet said you could even fall.
The surgery would not have had success,
And if it did you would not rest.
I looked in your eyes so full of fear,
You looked into mine so full of tears.
I didn't think that it could be,
But then I realized you would be set free.
You were my baby I love you soo much,
I would do anything for one last touch.
You may be gone but your still in my heart,
You will always be until we get a new start.
You are an angel up in the sky,
When I look up to find you it makes me cry.
There is one thing I hope you never forget,
I love you my Chester you are the best!

Dear Chester, It has been a year and 8 months since you left this earth. We all want you to know we Love you and Miss you greatly. All your friends from the barn are doing well, they told me to send their best wishes to you. When I got you, you changed my life I was soo happy with you, when you left you also changed my life. You taught me to never forget and to remember all the good times, and cherish the times I have. I hope your doing ok, I know you think about me everynight just like I think about you. But when I go out at night and see that star twinkle I know that you are doing just fine. I miss you soo much :**( I'm soo glad I have all these new horses to have happy times with. I know you are the one that sent me Cody, you knew how much I wanted a good boy like him. Thankyou so much! I'll love you forever and never forget you. I love you baby! Your mommy always, Heather

Dear Super Chester, do you know how much I miss you and how greatly I still love you, well just in case you don't I am here to tell you. This January it will have been 2 years since you passed on back on New Years Day of 99. Not a day goes by without me thinking of all the happy times we spent together. Those lovely days at the shows where you whinnied so loudly everyone looked. And at all those shows that you bolted and broke away from me and I chased you around the grounds, boy were you a quick lil boy. Then the happy times that you put the biggest smiles on my face when you won me those blue ribbons I was so proud to hear them announce our name together I was so proud of you. I was running around the show ground with you and your blue ribbon so proud of my lil boy, boy do I miss those days. I'll tell you showing and being around horses in general hasn't been the same since you left nor will it every be. No matter how my boys do at the shows now they could never make me as happy as you did, my I do love them very much and you know I'm proud of every single one of em. How's Strawberry doing?, you better be treating that lil girly right she sure does deserve a prince like you to take care of her up there. My life will never be the same without you here but I am glad to tell you the boys are taking care of me. You know you will always hold that special place in my heart. I'll love you and miss you for eternity. Love you always, your mommy Heather

I miss you Chester

Robert Dell

Chestnut was a wonderful spirited little dog with a sweet face.

Terri, Tony, & Children

You were the most special pet I ever had. I loved you with all my heart, my little brownie, and I have no doubt you loved me. I miss your happy bunny hops, your sweet bunny face and your big brown eyes that always looked at me with so much love as I petted you. Clover can't figure out where you have gone, I wish I could help her understand. I know you are in a happy meadow and I can't wait to see you again. I love you.

Heidi Costello

His name was Chestnut, he was a little yorkie and his birthday was 10/13/1985 and he passed away here at home on 5/18/2000. Our family loved him very much, especially his mom and dad. My heart hurts, but his last two months were some of the best of his life at least that's the way it appeared. He was rejuvenated and loving and didn't act his age and it was great. I will always cherish those days and his life, but I had time to tell him how much he meant to me. I have a puppy that he used to fight with, and compete with and I believe lived to eat treats from!!! Anyway, thanks for listening.

Chesty,

You were the best cat in the whole, wide world. You were always able to make me smile - even in the worst of times. Those 13 years you spent with us went by way too fast. I'm sorry that your last days were spent in such misery - for a cat that brought so much happiness, you did not deserve such a painful end. You are & will forever be missed. I hope you are happy & at peace now. Until we meet again, take care...

Love,
Megumi

My dear beloved friend. We tired so hard to make you feel better but it was your time. We had 10 glorious years together and I will miss you so much.
You will now meet your buddy "Friday" at the rainbow bridge and the two of you can play again. I love you always and you will always be in my heart. I will miss you greeting me everyday when I come home and Kevin will miss playing the game of chase. Chewy and I will miss you walking with us every nite. Thank you to Dr. Gilley for all he did for you! He is truly a wonderful man and an animal lover. I hope and pray I did the right thing for you and that you are now at peace. God Bless you Tikkiman.
With all my love Tikkiman,
B :)

I loved you so very much, my sweet boy, while you were with me and I will continue to love you and miss you. Please wait for me ... one day, I'll be looking for you and calling you.

Nola

Scott Piebenga

To My Chewie,

I will always love you and thank you for everything you have brought into my life and Dad's life. Also Gizmo and Kris Kringle miss you and we all can't wait to meet with you again in heaven. Until then, please know we are thinking of all the happy memories you have left us with. God Speed and keep you.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Gizmo and Kris Kringle

My wife and I do not have children, we had two dogs until Chewie had to be put to sleep. Now he waits for us at Rainbow Bridge. Please pray for our other dog, Wookie, as we deal with this difficult time. Today we lost one of our boys.

John Hopkins and Ellen Lewis

His name was Chewey. He was a Chow Chow. I got him in September of 1987. He was a dog with personality plus. He gave love and he was loved. He passed away on March 17, 1999, from what our vet said was either bloat or a torsion. His passing away has been a huge loss that has broken my heart. I miss him and his funny antics so very much. I don't pass one of his favorite spots without hoping he will be there. I know he is waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge, and we will be together again when my life on this earth is over. Then we will be together forever. I love and miss you, Chewey.

Penny

Despite his age, we are all still shocked that he is gone. Chewie's passing was unexpected and sudden to us even though an autopsy confirmed that he had a severe cancer that had spread throughout his entire body. He was and is loved very dearly and we will never forget him. My only comfort is knowing that he is no longer suffering. My heart feels like it will never quit constricting. I know there will come a day when I can think of him with love and happiness and not this overwhelming hurt. We all miss him terribly but feel so blessed that we were able to share his life.

Angela Johns

Tully, I think about you every single day. While I am at work, while I am at home... you are never out of my thoughts. I know that you lived a happy & courageous life here with us, but I wish that I still had your soulful brown eyes looking up at me. My days do not seem complete anymore. I find myself looking for you in your special spots around the house...I close doors to rooms that you once occupied. They are empty now, and I cannot go by them without crying, and wishing that you were laying there wagging your tail at me. I miss the way you would dig deep holes around the deck to lay in during the warm weather. I miss the way you were the first one to greet me at the door every day & night...even after your numerous surgeries. You were so brave and trusting. I miss your face... the expressions that you saved just for me. I have your ashes in my room, and pictures of you, Schyler & Avery are all over our home. You will never be forgotten Mr. Man...I miss you Tully. All my love & big berner hugs...

Jennie & Eric Hoffnagle

Chew-Monster,

Your short life was not nearly long enough for a dog as special as you. Since the day we met you, we knew you were one of a kind. You brought more joy into our lives than we ever could have hoped for. You were handsome, playful, loving, silly. You loved to make us smile, and in the process you made us fall in love. You instilled a love of your breed into me that will never die. I look at your picture everyday, and think of you running and playing at the bridge, waiting for us to join you. Take care of all your friends there. We miss you, Monster!

Mommy & Daddy

Our beloved Chewy was very playful and loved to give us kisses. He also enjoyed sitting on our 7th floor balcony, taking advantage of the sun. One sad day, Chewy fell from our balcony onto the parking lot. He was alive, but very badly hurt. All the way to the hospital he looked at us with his big yellow eyes, unsure of what was happening, asking for reassurance. After getting checked, the vet told us the price of getting him fixed. Unfortunately, I am a university student and therefore I am on a tight budget. I could not afford the bill so we had to put him to sleep. I told him goodbye and I'm sorry, I love you very much. Then they took him away. He was only a year old but had already brought us so much joy and love. To this day I still have pictures of him in my home and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. I still cry sometimes and feel guilty for not having the money to save him and for letting him go on the balcony. I hope he can forgive me and that he knows how much I miss him.

Melanie Charbonneau

Dear Chewy,  
I thank you with all my heart and all my soul for making me the person I am today. If it wasn't for your unconditional love I never would have known the true meaning. Everyday I woke up to find you snug by my side, and everynight I would arrive home I anxiously anticipated your excitement for my arrival. So many people are so prejudice to think I could love a dog so much, but that is because they've never had the unforgettable experience themselves. You were more than a dog to me you were my baby and that is why saying goodbye is so hard to do. You Chewy were and still are the best boy in the whole wide world and I will always love you with the same unconditionally love you always gave to me. With all the love in my heart today, tommorrow, and forever you my baby boy will never be forgotten, only very sadly missed.

Love always,  
Hannah & Said Hyjazi  
mommy & daddy

I miss you Chewy... you were my baby. You always made me feel better, and would help me, silently, through my problems. Holding you was very therapeutic, and made all my problems disappear. I miss holding you... and seeing your sweet face. Now my room is all quiet and empty, lonely. I know you are away from your suffering now, and I'm glad you're happy. The last song you heard was Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" and the last words you heard from me were "I love you" but I still feel like somethins wrong, like I didn't say goodbye. This is my closure. You will never be replaced in my heart, and will always be in my memory. You were my very best friend. We were a team. Now please guide me, as you are now one of my stars. Look out for me like I have for you, and I will be entirely grateful. I love you.

Shannon Cain

Cheyenne
7/4/99-11/12/00

Oh my sweet Cheyenne; My Precious little one
With your impish eyes, So full of life and fun
What master scheme, What great grand plan
Could take from me, My sweet Cheyenne?

No more will I feel, Your impatient tug
Your strong muscular body, Or your soft velvet mug
Your happy little nub, Wags no more to say
"Stop what you're doing, I'm ready to play!"

Yes, you grabbed my heart, From the very first day
With that cautious little glance, You threw my way
You changed all our lives, Made life lighter and fun
You moved out the darkness, You brought in the sun

We all miss you so much, And It feels so unfair
I can't see you waiting, From the top of the stair
You were so very young, Just a babe, just a pup
Now I find it hard to go on, I find it hard to keep up

Knowing you are not there, Sleeping by my bed
Waiting when I get home, Wanting to be fed
The routine that we followed, Each day it is no more
You don't follow me from room to room, Or break into Trina's door

We dry our hair without blowing, the heat into your face
The guys don't shine the flashlight beam, On the rug for you to chase
Now dad doesn't hide the cookie, In the cups lined on the floor
Because you aren't here to find it, We play with you no more

No more do I buy doggie toys, With each visit to the store
I won't see you in your red raincoat, running for the door
Or walking carrying your own leash, down the gravel road
Or sensing when I'm burdened, And lightening my load

You don't run around in circles, Playing keep away from Dave
We don't hear you barking fiercely, To show us that you're Brave
We won't see you kissing Brandy, Or urging her to play
You won't be chasing goats around; And you won't greet us every day

When I was sick you stayed by my side, My smart and brightest friend
I cared for you with all my heart, But I couldn't help you in the end
You gave to me the most precious gift, Your unconditional love
I hope you'll know how hard it was; I hope you really are above

We couldn't see you suffer, So we did what we thought best
We didn't know how to help you, So we put you down to rest
I hope you'll know and understand, Why we left you with that vet
But I should have stayed by your side too, That is my big regret

No new pet will ever take your place; They couldn't even try
Our bond is strong and can't be broke; Your specialness is why
You're in my heart, a piece of me; You were my biggest fan
The pain won't stop or go away; I love you sweet Cheyenne

I hope someday your tiny soul; Will still be happy when you see me
And the rainbow bridge's story, Is the truth of what it will be
For it's what keeps my hope alive, My courageous little pet
That we will be together again, With your nose so cold and wet

Pressed against my hand, Your body shaking with delight
With pure and total happiness, To have me within your sight
We'll cross that bridge together, Me and you forever more
Our hearts will beat together, Our bond of love allowed to soar

And now Cheyenne I'll say goodbye, While we await that day
My memories and your spirit live, And will stay with me all the way
As I complete my own journey, Through this life on earth
Until we meet again my love, You've showed us life's true worth

Cheyenne was my special friend. He was the sweetest, gentlest dog I ever saw. He had a lot of health problems with allergies and such. I never dreamed he would be taken so fast. They believe he had a heart attack. He was only 3 yrs old.
I pray the angels were waiting for him so that he wasn't scared when he left us.

Mom's special Angel. I miss you so very much.

Lisa Starks

Your love will never be forgotten…
I miss you so!

Kathy Cook

You are always in my heart, I will never forget you my precious little Chica,
I love you.

Alice Kinner

Hurry back to me, Precious Friend. I miss you so. You were my comfort and inspiration, and you still are. Your courage and love meant so much to me. I love you.

Annielaurie Burke

My dear little devoted tiny dog. You gave me love, you brought sunshine and happiness to us. Daddy and I miss you and have cried many tears. How could we ever know that a tiny guy like you would leave such a tremendous emptiness in our hearts. You watched me every day, went with me everywhere. You were just beginning to blossom...chasing the squirrel and birds, and discovering the ducks swimming in the pond. All of our neighbors knew you were the alpha dog--you were definitely walking me and, along the way, taught me how you wanted to live. We have so many wonderful memories to treasure. Thank you for loving us these past 10 months, although it was way to short a time. And Chi-Chi, please forgive me. I only meant to keep you warm. I picked you up from the sofa where we had fallen asleep, as Daddy was on his business trip. Usually I put you down on the floor right away, but that morning you were sleeping so soundly, and you looked so snuggled in. So my darling, I lifted you up in our little green blanket, and somehow you slipped from mommy's arms. I couldn't react quickly enough to stop the fall. All I can remember is seeing you with your legs straight up in the air, and then you hit the hardwood floor. Oh my sweet Chi-Chi, forgive me, forgive me, please forgive me. We love you with all of our hearts. May God bless and keep you until we meet again. I'm so sorry my love, so very, very sorry.

--Love, Mommy and Daddy.

I do not look back.
For I do cry for you,
You are my friend my companion.
You live on in me.....my heart,
And in my soul.
I love you always baby girl!!!

Kim Taylor

ChiChi, it's been almost a week since you've left us and we still can't imagine life without you.
You left us on April 17, leaving a huge emptiness in our hearts. We still expect your yowling to keep us awake at night. Everywhere we go, you're there... but you're not. But... maybe you are. We miss you so much ChiChi. We belong to you.

Jean, Tom, Mitch & Holly

Chi Chi my darling baby girl. How I miss you so much. I know that Satin was there waiting to take care of you like she always did. I still look for you when I come home from work.
You have a new kitty sister now her name is Snowy and she reminds me so much of you. She does a lot of the same things you used to. I have got her spoiled just like I did you.
You will be in our hearts forever.

Edie, Jerry and Marlene Powers

To our beloved Chicken ..
For 12 years you brought us joy and happiness. Now God has chosen to take you from us. My comfort lies in knowing you are with him, and that we will meet again one day.

You will be in our heart forever.

Fred & Pat

Our family is going to miss you sweet chick chick.

Valerie Sokol

Billy Bimba, we all love and miss you terribly. I am so sorry that I was not "allowed" to be there with you. I know that you know how much I love you, and ALWAYS will. You were my life and always will be.
May your little soul rest in peace.
Until we are together again, know that you ARE with me every moment of every day.
God Bless you, Angelito,
All my love,
Always,
Mummy xxxxxx
(Who's the best boy in the land? The Chicken Leg Man, The Chicken Leg Man).

In memory of 9 hens, 9 young chicks, and 2 roosters named "Jimmy" and "James" who died in a barn fire.

Chico came to us when he was about 1 year old. He had been terribly abused by his previous owner. He only has one good ear (the other was burnt by the abuser) and was very timid of other people. He latched on to me as his savior from a terrible home and we have shared a special bond ever since. Chico is getting quite old and now has a heart condition along with other problems caused by the abuse years earlier.
He is my "special boy" in amongst many other ferrets I have had over the years.
Chico lost his best buddy, Bear, not more than 6 months ago and has missed him terribly.
They will be reunited soon!!

Our happiest memories in life all include you... thank you.

Ed & Kelly

Our beloved Chief was suffering from illness for the past two years. It was only after finally accepting defeat that we decided to let Chief go onto a happier, painless place. Lord, how I wish I could have him back the way he was only a couple of years ago! He was my "baby" before my babies and a great companion all those lonely times. He was kind, compassionate and extremely obedient. There was no pet like him! Neighbors always commented on how well behaved he was... He used to walk around the development with his leash proudly in his mouth as if to say, "I am a big boy." He had a special place for his duties and would go no where else. He certainly punished himself when he did not go to the bathroom before walks! He would almost run home to make it in time! These times, and many others, I will cherish forever. Chief will never be replaced, can't be. And will remain in my heart for all eternity.

Janeen Mengel

Chief was the life of all parties. He was a wonderful companion.
Chief will be missed for the rest of our lives.

Love,

Michele, Michael, Mikey, Raleigh and Kissy (The Cat)

I love you still, miss you always, will never stop needing you.

Judi Hamlet

You were with us for such a short time, when you were taken from us suddenly. You were loved deeply by all who knew you. You were without a doubt the best! You had more spirit, heart and devotion than any dog I have known. When there are rain puddles in the backyard, I think of how you had loved to play in them. I think of the times you would find the largest stick and want to play tug-of-war, or how you would shred them into mulch. I remember the times that you would jump into the truck and sit, waiting to go for a ride. I miss having you by my side, referring to you as my shadow. How I wish that I still had my shadow. You were daddy's baby! You were the best companion and friend that anyone could have ask for. Words cannot describe the depth of your footprints on our hearts. You will always remain in our hearts and be forever missed. Life will never be the same without you! Rest in Peace my friend until we meet again.

James & Anita Fitzgerald & Family

His name was Chief. I just went to "look" at him because I had never seen a large parrot in person before. A friend of mine who raised exotic birds had heard about him and wanted to see him as well. We went to the pet shop where he was and I was speechless in front of this two year old white vision. He was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen on this earth. This pet shop had sold him to a family in the area when he was a baby and they had done a wonderful job of raising him to this point. They had made an agreement to make payments on him to the pet shop and had fallen on hard times and of all things, the pet shop had repossessed him. I knew cars could be re-po'd, but never thought of such a thing about a bird. He was obviously frightened and very unsure of himself. Here he was with all these strangers, in a strange place, staring at him and not a familiar face in the crowd. I inched nearer to have a closer look and he jumped off the cage to land on front of me with my shirt clutched in both feet. He buried his head under my chin and very clearly said, "Momma". I was a goner. I paid a down payment on him to hold him for a week and went home and told my husband about him. Ray looked at me for a long time and finally said, "Get your bird next weekend." I did. Those were 5 of the shortest, happiest, funniest, most frustrating, messiest, love filled years of my life. He was a trusting, loving bird. So full of life and fun. He lived to be loved and held. He shared meals with me. He played on the bed and the sofa with me. He even went outside with me in the warm weather. He went to bird club meetings with me and became the star of the show. He seemed to love to have his picture taken. He certainly never ran from a camera or the flash of it. If I didn't feel good and lay on the couch with a house coat on, he would come to me and tunnel under the housecoat till his head popped up next to mine. That made a picture, let me tell you. He did his best to make me feel better. When the end came, it was sudden. It was late in the day. In those days we didn't have an emergency clinic like we do now for after hours, holidays, etc. He was sitting on top of his cage, fluffed and wouldn't eat, didn't drink and didn't seem interested in everything. I had a bad feeling. I went to him and talked to him. He came to the edge of the cage to be near me and he was shivering. Chills? Anyway, I put my arms about him and picked him up. I put him under the sweater I was wearing and thought maybe I could comfort/warm him. It didn't seem to help. His breathing became labored and I could hear a sound, when he drew breath that scared me. Ray called the vet. He said to bring him in NOW. We bundled into the car and headed out for the 10 plus mile drive. We got about 4 miles from home on the bridge, over the river into town. It was too late. Much too late. He died in my arms. It was a virulent respiratory infection that robbed me of the love of my life. I was inconsolable. I still am. I am crying now as I try to tell this story. I have never been so loved as I was by Chief, and I don't think I ever will be again. I do have other birds, 10 of them as a matter of fact. I love them and they love me, but that special something is missing from the way they are around me and me around them. I don't know if there are words or an name to put to what was so special between me and my beloved Chief, but I don't think it will ever come again. I miss him so. I also carry this huge load of guilt. If I had been more observant. If I had paid closer attention. If, if, if, if, till I can't stand up straight under the load. I have carried these thoughts for 5 long years now. Funny, that is how long I had Chief and those were such short years. Perspective is everything. There is so much I could write about Chief. So many happy memories. I try to keep those close to me and not remember those last sad moments so much. I let him down and those are the ones that haunt me. I pray to the Great Spirit that Chief is at Rainbow Bridge and waiting for the time we can be together again and never be separated by anything ever again. I love you Chief. I will always love you. No other shall ever be in my heart as you are forever more.

Judi Hamlet

Chief was a big part of our family. He will be missed dearly. We know that he is in Heaven with his daughter, sister and beloved friends, and will suffer no more. We love you Chief and we will see you again good boy.

Love Always,
your family

Thank you Chien/Peanut for your loving and generous nature, your playfulness, and your cuddles, and the best part of our days, "the Happy Dance". You will be in our hearts, always.

Cyndi and Mike Warren, and Audrey Friedman

In memory of my boy Chi'in - you were the best friend I will ever know. You touched so many peoples lives but most of all you taught me how to love life - it's a lesson I'll never forget.
Thanks for sticking by me these past 16 years and remember only you have that special place in my heart. I love you.

Wanda

Chillie we will miss you dearly our giant furry friend,
We love you and know you are at peace and with God.
Meet you at the Rainbow Bridge...

Emerald, Gloria & Jim

My dog China was a small but very loveable dog. Her bark was mean but she never bit anybody or anything. She loved other dogs, cats rabbits and reptiles we owned. We adopted her when someone couldn't keep her anymore. We took her into our home and into our hearts. She looked like another dog we had that got hit around the same day of month that China died. I loved her so very much and she loved me more than anybody else even though I only got to see her once a week.
The day before she died, there was a strong storm in the afternoon. My mother put both of the dogs in the garage with the back door open so they could go outside to go to the bathroom and still had shelter. But when the storm got really loud she got spooked and jumped the fence and ran into the street and a guy was driving and didn't see her and he hit her. He felt really bad being a big animal lover himself he took her to the closest vet hospital. She started looking better this morning, but they she was just so weak and she passed away. All of the neighbors around my mothers house called this morning when she was still alive to check up on her and that so just so nice. When my mother called me to tell me that she had passed away she wouldn't tell me what happened over the phone. But when I got to her house she told me and it hurt so bad. Then we went to the vet hospital to pick her up to take her to a funeral home. We had chosen to cremate her. She was a small dog but had a very big heart. And our other dog (he is a beagle) knows what is going on and keeps looking around for her and it is just so sad. But she had a very good life. She had lots of puppies with our other dog and she got spoiled so much and I hope that I will get to see her after I pass on.

We all will love you and miss you forever China.

My dearest sweety-kitty, I love you so much. You were always there for me, I will treasure your memory in my heart forever.

Stephanie McShane

Through all the years and all my trials and tribulations you have always been there for me. Never asking or questioning. Loving me, giving me kisses. I am so sorry for your pain. I miss you more than I ever could have imagined. You will be in my heart forever and always.

Karen Constantine

Ching was the "best" to me. She gave me love, loyalty, and companionship which made my life so much happier during these past 12 years. I will miss her forever, but the memories I have of our life together are comforting me at this time of loss. She was a very special pet. Most pets are orphans. They're born with lots of brothers and sisters, and then they're taken or given away, not knowing what their fate will be. I tried to give Ching the home, the care, and the love she deserved and that experience blessed me a thousandfold back. Thank you, Ching, for being "you" and for being in my life.

Randi Mitchell

My Beloved Ching, I miss you so. The void in my life is beyond any thing I have ever experienced. You gave me so many years of unconditional love. Your eyes said it all. Your black button nose seemed to sniff out the goodness in everyone. You were my companion, my best friend, my baby. You played "Hide N Seek" with all the kids & grandkids & did your tricks upon call. You were so smart. The worst are the nights. When it was always just you & me. When I turned the T.V. off, only then would you be ready for bed because you knew I was going. You would lay with your back against my back until it was time to fall asleep & then you would go to the top of the bed & find your final sleeping spot. I don't know how I am going to make it without you. You were always ready to go "bye bye" & your happy little dance you would do to get our attention. You would wait for someone to bend down & pick you up, your body relaxing, knowing what it meant. We all miss you baby, I more so because we had that special "forever" bond. You are everywhere in this house. I sleep with your collar under my pillow or in my hand. I long to feel your long hair against my face & the smell of you. Purdy misses you too! Did you & he have a special talk? He follows me to every room & lays @ my feet, as you did. It's not the same my beloved Ching. I look down & I know it's you who belongs there. It was your spot. I eat but I hurt & am afraid I will choke. Everything reminds me of you. You ate when I ate. You are so loved my baby boy & missed terribly. I can't go anywhere without the memory of you being with me. I have had other dogs in my life but you were my "forever" dog. You belonged to all of us, but you were "Mommies Baby Boy". You are & always will be, "My Beloved Ching". My grief is unbearable. My heart aches with the pain of not having you by my side. I thank you for all the years of comfort you brought to me. For all the companionship you gave me as well as the unconditional love I received from you. You were & always will be "My Beloved Ching". "Goodnite Mommies Baby Boy"

Marie Kennison

Chinook, she was such an awesome dog..she will never be replaced...she passed on because she bit into a metal ant-trap, which now is not carried in my house because we have another dog...Polar, he is a American Eskimo..the way he looks always makes me think of Chinook and how in the short 4 years that she was my pet, we had so many memories...

Chris Leboot

Dear Chip,
We love you and miss you. We'll see you again someday. Please be happy.

Love,
Kathy, Jenny, Mom, and Dad

You were diagnosed with cancer over a month ago while we were all at our vacation spot. I have such great memories of past vacations there, but will find it hard to go back again. Dad says there are other places we can go, but it won't be the same without you there. Although the weeks between your diagnosis and that awful day were difficult and filled with many tears, I was glad to have had a couple of good weeks with you. It allowed us to spoil you rotten (even more than usual). I always knew I would be glad that I never made a big deal about you digging up my garden every spring. I miss seeing you in the backyard just standing there, looking up into the sky and barking. I always told your Dad to just let you bark. That when you were gone, we would miss that the most. There's so much more to miss about you though. You are and always will be my Golden Bear. Your sweet little puppy face even up to the end. You were always stubborn and you proved just how stubborn you could be in the vets office before you had to go away. We had to tell you that it was okay to let go. We were worried about how Dale would handle not having his shadow around. I think he's doing okay although sometimes he seems lost, like he's searching for someone or something. It must be strange for him. You were from the same litter and with us since six weeks of age. I don't regret one bit making both of you such a large part of my life. I guess that's why it hurts so much to have you taken away. I always knew this day would come, but I thought I'd have a few more years with you. -- "God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered 'come with me.' With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fading away, and though we loved you dearly, we couldn't ask you to stay. Then suddenly, when your heart stopped beating, and your hardworking paws were laid to rest, God broke all of our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best."

Chipper, tell Maru, Kitty, Mocha and Tera that we love and miss them very much. Take care of them.

Bye, my little bo bo. I will love you always.

Mom

This was the best friend I ever had

and up to your old tricks,
my heart bleeds every night

Kathryn Goodier

Cocoa loved her sister so much, she wanted to join her. To my girls, whom I both love so much, I'll treasure you always.

Terrie McConell

Do you know how much we love and miss you? So much that words can not describe. I miss the way you'd run around. I miss your soft and sweet purring and meowing.
The way you'd run around with your buddie (Hobo),and the way you'd chase the dogs.
I miss you coming and lying on my bed during the night, and hiding underneath the covers. The why you'd hide from
us, if you knew you were going to get in trouble. I miss all those wonderful years and times we had together. I'll never forget the time when we got you home, and you were looking around and ran straight into the coffee table, and the time I was cringe and you came up behind me and bit me in the back of the head. That was pretty funny!!
Chiquita, I hope you never forget me!

Lakyn Head

Protective, Intelligent, Loyal and Loving. In other words "Chiquita" "One of the Girls". Incredible is indeed an understatement. She brought peace in times of conflict. Love at times of despair. Hope at times of surrender. A friend at times of rejection. She should have been named "Angel" for she surely was. A mind so superior and a heart so radiant with love and peace. I speak in behalf of my family that I know longer have, when I say We love you Chiquita. We thank you for all your loyal years of love, devotion and dedication to our lives. I will forever remember you, and I am eager to join you at the Rainbow Bridge. Life could not ever be as good without you. You lived a life of giving without ever expecting. You never held a grudge or sought revenge. Just love and understanding and a wish for peace. With your chin held high, you accepted life for it's good and it's bad. You showed courage when others could not. You had very broad shoulders and carried much more than could ever have been expected. You are perfect. We could not have wished for a better friend and partner in life. You will always be in my heart Chiquita, just as we were always in yours. We thank you Chiquita for blessing us with your love and devotion. We will be together again sweetheart. Until then......I love you. Glenn

We will miss you Chloe. You brought much happiness to your mate Willy. You liked to make nests and sing. We loved your sweet, little "happy" noises. You are together in death and will always be little treasures in our hearts. No one can take away those memories. We're so sad that toxic fumes from our self-clean oven, when used for the first time, killed you both. Why didn't the manufacturer warn us?

S. Mitchell

Chloe was the devoted pet of a handicapped woman. Her love and devotion knew no bounds. After being together day and night, for the three years that we were allowed to love her, there is an empty spot next to Debbie that will be very hard to fill. We miss you little furbaby.

Mom and Dad

Chloe was a smiling face to let you know you were at a safe place. She always welcomed you with such great care and a beauty that only Golden's share. She gave my friends such great joy. She didn't even need a toy. She'd lay there while we sang and danced, and never choked up, when it was finally her chance. Chloe please do what you can, to watch with your soul over my dear friends.

Donna & Dave

Chloe, there are no words to describe how much you meant to us and how much we miss you. There is a huge void in our hearts and our home.
I miss your smile, your kindness, your bark, your love.
We are lost without you. We will light a candle for your tomorrow night at 9:00PM.

Daddy is going to hang your collar on the climber to keep the squirrels out of the back yard, just like you would have wanted.
All our love,
Mom

She was born (I guessed 2/22/82 and was put to sleep on 5/22/00. She was a beautiful long haired tortoiseshell. The last 6 years of her life she was diabetic, the last few years a little shaky and the last month or so she was needing less insulin, my vet thought she would live two more years, she had a strong heart. The last three days were awful, she become weak and not wanting any food. She went to the vet four times in 3 days. She began to drag her foot and not seem to know where her water bowl was, right underneath her. An ultrasound revealed suspected cancer, enlarged lymph glands. The vet informed me of treatment, diet, but I could not do it anymore. Three days of being near her constantly, trying to get her to eat, watching her, left me drained. I knew I could not just go to work the next day, there was no way I could leave her at home, I did not even think about leaving her at the vet, I made the decision, and weeks later I am so miserable and missing her and cannot believe my baby girl is gone and I want to protect her still.

Chloe, you were our "little one". I even had a song for you that you seemed to listen to when I sang it. After surviving Parvo 3 years ago and battling Cushings for the last 2 years, you have earned your right to suffer no longer. You let us know that you were ready to play at "The Bridge" and we listened to you. We could not keep you from joy of once again being painless and running, playing and eating (yes, your appetite is now back) with the other loved pets in the green grass there. We and your "sister" Cricket will continue to miss you every day. You will meet your older "sister" Brigit there and she will show you around so you aren't frightened. I am told there are many other playmates waiting to greet you, too. You are among loving playmates so enjoy your time until we meet again.

Love, pats, belly rubs and ear scratches,

In Memory of Chloe  
September, 1985 to February 19, 2000

Chloe came into my life in December, 1985 at the age of 13 weeks. She was the first cat that was completely my own. Her original name was Cleo, but my sister changed it to Chloe. She was a beautiful brown and white tabby with a white spot in the middle of her back. She was a surrogate mother to my second cat, Shelby. She liked to go outside for walks on her leash. She lived and traveled several places: Dallas, Lubbock, Colorado Springs (CO), Dallas, Clute and Duncanville, Texas. She began losing weight, and had kidney problems. A few weeks ago, I took her in to the vet, and she had lost 3 1/2 lbs in the past year. She was down to 6 1/4lbs. Two weeks later, she was down to 5 1/4 lbs. She was having complications from a developing thyroid tumor, kidney failure and FIP. It was a no win situation, medication would cause the kidneys to fail, fluids caused the abdomen to swell. On Saturday, February 19, 2000 we made the hard decision to let her go. She is now resting in her own garden at the farm we are developing in Waxahachie, Texas.

Chloe is survived by her surrogate son, Shelby (10); his surrogate son, Jausenclaus (Jaws)(8); and her arch nemesis step-brother, Tiger (2).

She is survived by her puppy sisters and step-brothers and sister: Cincie (13), Tara(7), Poodah (9), Tipper (6), and Dax (4).

She is also survived by her birdy brother and sister and nephews: Frisco (15), Stormy (11) and their two boys Uno and Dos; and Hayley and Lord Nelson.

My husband, who became her daddy in 1998, and I will miss her dreadfully.

We love you Chloe.

Susan and Charles Richardson

You were our precious little girl. We love you so dearly and we miss you so very much. You brought so much joy and fun to our lives in the too short time you were with us. Your big sister, Abbey misses you and sends her love too. Thank you for loving us so much and allowing us to share our lives with you. You were so strong and fought so hard through your illness, but God needed you in Heaven so He made you one of his little angels. Your Mommy and Daddy will always love you! Stay close to your big brothers, Bandit and Champagne up in Heaven and know that one day, we'll all be together again. We love you Chloe!!

Forever and always,  
Mommy, Daddy and Abbey

Thank you for the love and laughter you brought into our life. We will cherish the memories of our short time together. Please know that we will do everything in our power to bring justice to those who harms God's little darlings. We send all of our love with you as you journey to Rainbow Bridge.
God Bless all of God's creatures.

Chloe Louise,
It is with great reluctance and sorrow that we let you go. We love you so much. You were always by our side, wherever we were. We pray that God is taking care of you and that you are pain free. We thank God for sharing you with us, and now he can take over. Chloe, our memories will remain strong. We send our love over the rainbow bridge to you. God Bless You!
Amen.

For 16 Years, My Faithful Friend and Loving Companion Purring Forever in My Heart

Jenni Simpson

You were my little Angel sent from Heaven above. You were a beautiful registered White Persian with odd eyes with the sweetest disposition. God knew you only had a short time here on earth and I am so glad that I was the chosen one you spent it with. You were only 2 years old and the vet and myself did everything in our power to save you, but it was not to be, for you were dying of cancer. I loved you in life and will continue to love you in death. Tina Marie and you are now at the Rainbow Bridge and I will meet both of you there someday when my time comes. Love from your Mommy, Edna White

Choco was a very special dog who had done no harm to anyone, but yet his life was taken out of pettiness. His life was deliberately taken through Antifreeze poisoning. An earlier attempt had been tried, but unsuccessful through the hard work of the Vet. The Second attempt worked only because of the uncertainty of the time and amount of Antifreeze given. Choco will never be forgotten, nor replaced, but will always live on inside the hearts of those who knew him.

Shauna

Chocolate Puppy you were such a good dog. Mommy misses you so much. I remember all the antics you would get into. You were the only dog that I knew who could open up a refrigerator & help himself to what was in it. And God only knows how you knew how to open up a jar of peanut butter. Chocolate Puppy you also chose your sleeping accommodations well. For most of your life you slept in a heated waterbed. You would keep mommy company at night & cuddle up. So Chocolate Puppy wait for mommy at Rainbow Bridge, for when the time is right I will join you & we will cross the bridge together.

Love, Mommy

My Darling Kitty

Daddy and I miss you so much. Even though we had you such a short time, you brought so much joy into our lives. I hope you have a huge garden to play in and a huge dirt-pile to roll in. We will never be able to replace you in our hearts.

I'm so sorry that you had to suffer for those two weeks. I wished over and over again that I could have born the burden for you. Whose tummy will I tickle now?

All my love
Mommy"

Chomel...mommy is constantly thinking of you...the times we spent together...the things that I taught you...and the final days that we spent together...I'm sorry I couldn't save you but we both know that it's the best thing...I know that you are always by my side. I miss you so much and I know that you do too. You are free now...you are no longer hurting and I know that you are in good hands...the Bridge is your new home now. You will have new friends and they will take good care of you just like I did.

Don't worry about mommy and papa...we are fine...your brother Hitam and your sister Baby Happy miss you very much, especially Hitam. You guys couldn't get along because of Baby Happy but he was sad when you left. He is grieving and he misses you. He paid his last respects and ran into the bathroom where you used to be. He is sleeping in your favorite chair and is looking everywhere for you. Baby Happy will be having her babies soon...hopefully they are all like you - strong will, high spirits, caring, and smart. I will always cherish the moments that we spent together and I want you to know that we will always be close. We will meet each other at the Bridge one day. Look for my candle lights each Monday. I send my love and prayers. They will keep you warm and close to home. I know that you don't want me to be sad. I know you want me to be happy that you're now free from pain and suffering. I'll try but I can't promise that I would not cry when I think of you. You were my baby and my best friend. It's so comforting knowing that you love me as much as I love you. Take good care of yourself, my child. I'm sure you'll be here when Baby gives birth...You were always there for each of us...I know you will continue to stay with us until the day comes when we will all be united at the Bridge.

Thank you for the good times. I did not say goodbye because I know that you will always be near. You live forever in my heart. I'll love the others like I loved you. I will never forget you and I promise that we WILL see each other again...

Lots of love from mommy, papa, Hitam, Baby Happy, and the 2 gold fish that you swimming with when you were little...

To my sweet little friend who opened my heart and taught me how to love, I will miss you forever. I still see your smiling face where ever I turn. I love everything about you, your gentleness, your sensitivity, clumsiness, your altheticism, your patience, your soft cheeks and long legs, your crazy long tail. Your are the sentinel, the clown, the cuddler, the wise one, the friend who I love and miss so much.

My little Chris

......She came into my life - my heart - and my soul Christmas of 1984. Another member of the Mashinter family ....She was so tiny...so fragile...so sweet...I held her in my hands and knew that she was meant to be with me.....A very special little girl....
She gave me a love that I shall keep in my heart 'til we meet again.....She gave me hope when I thought there was none, she gave me courage when I could not find it within myself and she gave me the unconditional love that helped me so much....when I thought love existed no more

She gave to me comfort and companionship when my husband died...never leaving my side...she made me laugh...she allowed me to cry...She allowed me to be me...she helped me when my three sons were growing up without their father...She truly was there through everything..She saw other family pets pass on.....and she too grieved their departure from this earth....

She gave of herself to me when I was diagnosed in December of 1997 with a rare incurable disease. I was so afraid that my little Chris would die of heartbreak if I should pass before her. or worse yet be left all alone...that fear is now gone....

Only a month before she came through surgery for a massive cancerous tumor....they thought they got it all...Unfortunately one small cell escaped...and she only lasted that short time...

I held her in my arms as she took her last breath...and carried her home to put her in her place in what we called our little park...our place to sit in the sun....
She was and always will be my loyal friend.

The river of tears are for the love of my friend...my faithful companion.....I shall miss you...

I know the time will come sooner than later that we shall meet at the place called Rainbow Bridge...

Until we meet again..........my lovely little Chris.....know that I will always love you

Chrissy Bell was a 10 year-old red longhair tabby who happened to be deaf. However, she was stubborn, funny and fiercely independent. She loved to travel, watching all the cars go by from the from window in my lap. She came into my life when I needed a "fur fix" and I will always remember her.

Erika Castillo

To my baby girl. I will love you and miss you always.

Roxanne Pino

The sweetest, most kind cat in the world. He would never even scratch someone if they were hurting him.

Samantha Winslow

Dear Christophe,

We got you on July 1, 1990 as a puppy for our girls, Emily, and Whitney who were then 10 and 8. We took a bold step and bought you, a Whippet, instead of a more familiar breed. You quickly won the affection of everyone in the family. You were 3 when our son, Will, was born. You were the only Whippet that many of our neighbors had ever seen.

It has been two months since we had to end your suffering from kidney failure on December 27, 1999. Since you died, it seemed too easy to dwell on bittersweet memories of your last Christmas with us. But your last week was only a very short part of the 10 years you brightened our lives.

Now we are trying to forget your last days and remember the good times. Greeting me every day when I came home from work. Taking long walks around the neighborhood and parks with Bebe and I. Playing with your red stuffed toy crab. Sleeping on the soft blue couch in the living room. Racing around the yard. Riding in the car. Catching tennis balls. Looking at new homes under construction in sprawling north Atlanta suburbs with Bebe and I.

I am glad I spent a lot of time with you. You left us far sooner than I expected. Your absence is very real to your family members. Your cats Cupcake and Dutchess miss you very much too. We will always love you Christophe.

Ron, Bebe, Emily, Whitney, and Will

Yesterday my best friend of 14 years left us for her rainbow bridge. Fourteen years of love from a solid black beautiful long haired little girl who was so little and such a furball she didn't even look like a cat. She grew into the sweetest and prettiest little cat I ever had. I feel like everywhere I look in this house she is around the corner, or on my bed waiting for me. Fourteen years of unconditional love . I will miss her every day.

Laurel Byers

Chrysalyn left us very unexpectedly, and has left a huge cat-shaped hole in my heart.
We were blessed to have had her in our lives.
She is missed, and will always be in our hearts.

Susan Gauvin

It was August 26, 1987 when my daughter, who was working part time for a Veterinary Clinic, brought home a little furry puppy that someone had found in a parking lot. She told me that all the vet techs were taking turns watching it until they could find a home. Little did I know at the time that they weren't taking turns watching the puppy, but that she knew I would fall in love with it and keep it. I did, and Chubbles became a big part of my life. Everyone knew he was the family dog, but first and foremost he was Dad's dog. What a true and faithful friend who had a personality like no other dog I had ever owned. When he was diagnosed with cancer a month ago, I took him to a specialist and fought with no question about expense to see if we could buy more time. But it was not meant to be and on his last night we lay together side by side and I asked God to take him and told Chubbles it was alright to go to a better life, that we would meet again. Shortly thereafter he raised his head and looked back at me and laid it down and peacefully went to sleep to suffer no more. I will miss him tremendously but will have many joyous memories of him and our good times, and we will be together again in time.

Michael Oler

You took care of my family while I was gone. Thank you.
I am glad I was there for you.

Joe

Chuck, even though I only had you for 3 years, you will always have a place in my heart. You were the best cat in the world! Thank you for your utter trust and love. I miss you terribly.

Deb Podany

Chuck,
Am I to blame?.Im missing you so much I only wish you suffered no pain

Becc Ryan

Chuck - you loved to chase squirrels and I know that in heaven you are running after squirrels and I know they are enjoying teasing you. You are so special and I think about you all the time. I miss your warm little body snuggled up against me. I loved the way you followed me from room to room and when all the other dogs left to go outside, you stayed with me and never let me out of your sight. I know you still watch over me and protect me. I love you Chuckie and I will always love you.

Roxanne Larson

Chuckles will be missed by all. His brother Mohawk is in deep sorrow over the loss of his brother.

Allen

Chula was a very special dog. Wise, a friend described him as an "old soul". But he also had an enormous zest for life and a real joie de vivre. He understood the words love, loyalty and courage. I loved him. His life was far too short but I'm thankful that the years he had were good ones.

Gloria

An angel was surely brought to heaven, you will be sorely missed. We love you.

Sherri, Thomas, Jessica and Cody, and Chunkers daughter Cihina LynWillemin

We love our baby boy so much and will miss him dearly. Now Chunky will not suffer anymore and will be able to play in heaven with his brother Lucky and his friends Ruckus, Evenstar, and Caine. We love you Chunky Monkey and you will never be forgotten!!!

Adam and Bree

How do you say goodbye to your best friend? Churcher, Punker, Punkin....I'll miss you my love. I've lost my angel. Heaven gains the BEST DAMN Cat There ever was.

Robert Munch

Tonight we lost our beloved companion of 13 years our cat Church. It all happened so fast. My husband came home to find her unresponsive and just laying there unable to stand up. The vet said she had some kind of neurologic accident like a stroke or brain tumor. She was fine this morning when we left for work next thing I know we are putting her to sleep. I just can't believe it. She has always been around. She was wonderful. A very social cat that loved to sit on your lap. I feel guilty because lately we had not been paying much attention to her. She was black and white. She looked like a miniature cow. My sister had rescued her from a hospital that was using her for some of it's neurologic testing. My husband and I don't have any children so Church was like a child to us. This really hurts bad.

Carol Townsend

Back in high school when I was having trouble and going through a bad depressive episode my parents let me get a dog. I had long been a fan of bulldogs so I knew that's what I wanted. I went to a breeder, and he had 4 of the cutest puppies I had ever seen. They looked like a bunch of miniature hippos. But one in particular caught my eye because he kept attacking my shoelace and trying to pull it off. I knew he was the one for me... I took him home and a day later named him Churchill. This is what he looked like:

http://www.motorpics.com/pdimas/babygrum.jpg

Since both of my parents worked, when I would stay home sick from school, Churchill would keep me company. We became as close as a boy and his dog could get. After I graduated I moved out and took him with me. However, he was so attached to my parents and to the house that I felt bad keeping him away. So, I let him stay at the house with them where he would have plenty of space to roam and could go outside and enjoy the sun whenever he wanted. Whenever I stayed at home we were practically inseparable. When I was living away from home I would go visit him 2-3 times a week. Every time I saw him he would wiggle his whole body in joy because he didn't have much of a tail to wag. We would sit and play games, and he would bark at me for attention when I was watching TV. One game in particular he enjoyed was called the "Have-It Game" where he would grab a slipper and I would ask him "Can I have it?" And he would growl at me. Then I would tell him how mean he was and he would wag his body and bring me the slipper. He grew up to be a beautiful young man:

http://www.motorpics.com/pdimas/grum.jpg

Last Saturday I went to visit him and noticed his belly was swollen. My parents hadn't noticed it because they are around him all the time, but it was obvious to me. I got scared and took him to the vet. The vet told us he possibly had some heart failure and gave us some diuretic pills so he would lose some of the fluid that was backing up in his belly. She also made an appointment for him to see a specialist so we could see what could be done about his heart. The specialist examined him yesterday and told us that his heart rate was very high and that he had a bit of an arrhythmia. Basically his heart was trying to pump out blood that wasn't there so it was getting backed up. She gave us some Digoxin pills to help slow his heart rate down and get it beating back to normal. We felt relieved that it didn't seem to be anything too serious and that he would be with us a while longer. Unfortunately, this morning, Churchill's heart decided to give up on him, and he passed away in my parent's living room. He looked just like he was sleeping peacefully. My father, brother and I buried him in the back yard with one of his "Have-It Game" slippers, and we put a nice plant over him to mark his spot. My mom didn't want to be there because she couldn't stand to see her boys cry. Every time I think I'm done crying I somehow start up again. Just knowing I won't get to see him again in the flesh tears me apart. But, I have a grandma and a grandpa who will look after him until I get to see him again. Until then, I will miss him terribly. He would have been 9 on October 8th. If you get a chance, please think a kind thought for me, my family, and above all for Churchy.

Thanks,
Peter

I just came back from having Churchill put to sleep at 14 years old. My heart is breaking. I feel like I have betrayed him. As he fell asleep I kept saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry".

Rita M

For the sweetest angel in the world. Your eyes spoke a million words. You will always be my love and my darling. I know you are now with your brother Benjamin and God will hold you both in the palm of his hand. We will all be together over rainbow bridge. All my love mommy

Beverly

The best and loving dog any one could wish for, I miss her so much and loved her so much, I only had her a short time 1 1/2 years but I will cherish her forever!

Heidi Heiser

What a loving dog and companion to our family. She was the first pet to welcome our newborn daughter and son home. She was the protector. Although she would never hurt a flea, she wanted to think she was really tough. Her favorite thing to do was to be groomed. She would lay for hours. She also liked to chase balls. She was very obedient and had attended classes with me. All she wanted to do was to please. I will miss her forever, but I will carry her love in my heart.

Christine Balderston

My Four-Legged Friend

Her sweet, wet nose
Her pearly, white teeth
Her beautiful green eyes
Her BIG, flapping ears
Her long, pointing tail
Her shiny, brown coat

The way she ran fast through the wide, open fields
I miss her like crazy every second of the day
I will never forget her ( MY BABY) CiCi Renee'

I had a cat she was black with white paws, and a had a white moustache. She was always petite and was starting to lose her fur. She had a bald spot on her back. She loved to be brushed. She would be feisty too sometimes. We got her when she was a few weeks old. She was the runt of the litter, dirty and full of fleas. We nursed her back to health. We were newlyweds and she was my baby. She would come and get me when it was time to go to bed. She loved to sit in the window and chatter at the birds. It was just the 3 of us for those first 4 years. After my kids were born she only came out when it was quiet. She was finally beginning to warm up to my 2 older children. She liked to jump on our backs and lay down. She would always use my husbands pant leg as a scratching post. She used to growl when she heard someone coming. But those days are over now. My kitty was killed by my sister's dog. We had just moved to Denver 3 weeks earlier. I kept her in my bedroom in the basement as usual. She slept with me every night. She liked to sleep on me. She was always closest to me. She stayed away from other animals, people she didn't know and from small children. We had left to go to town and had closed the door to the room but it could be pushed open. While we were gone my sister decided to also leave and brought her dog inside and put him in the basement. He pushed the door open and then killed my cat. When I came back she was laying in the den of the basement warm, but with blood coming from her mouth and her eyes without life. I became hysterical as I held her in my arms. There was a blood stain on the carpet in my room and the cat killer was covered in blood. I cried for 3 days and had to sleep upstairs. My sister said she would find a new home for her dog and how sorry she was. She said she forgot about my cat being downstairs. She forgot about telling us that her dogs chases and kills cats when he is outside. Her dog went into my room a few times, but I would always be there to tell him to get out. I was not made aware that my cat was in danger. Had I known I would have left her at our old house with my brother until we had our own place. We have a dog too but she never bothered Cindel C. But this dog must have snuck up on my kitty because Cindel used to run and hide when ever she heard a noise. Well the cat killer was never given away. I was told that just to comfort me. I have to face that dog just about everyday. I had Cindel cremated and put into a beautiful wooden box that I have in my room. It has her picture on it and is engraved. I didn't want her to be buried in an unfamiliar place. She always moved with us. Once she got lost when she was 4 yrs old for a month, but she found her way back. I am so grateful for all the years I got to love her. She comforted me and kept me company. She played hideandgoseek with me. She was silly and cuddly. She was a part of my family and I miss her so much. I had hoped that she would die of old age someday. I feel I didn't keep her safe. I cry when I think of the cruel way she died. She was a victim and I feel like one too. I was told that it was no ones fault but I still feel angry and betrayed. I have pictures of her all over my mirror so I can remember how she was and not the way I found her that night. I have so many happy memories of her. I can only hope that she died instantly and that she didn't suffer. I wish I could have been there before she died so wouldn't have been alone. I wish I could turn back the clock or that someone would have told me to lock my door and that the cat killer was a threat to my Cindel C. She will always have a special place in our hearts. Cindel C, we loved you and we are sorry we let you down.

Cinder and Maxie are together waiting for me at Rainbow Bridge. My girl Patches is there too. All three are young again and full of life. I can see them playing and having a real good time. I can not wait to be there to take them across the Bridge where we can all be healthy and young together forever.
My Booga just left to join Cinder and Patches---he will be a handful at first, but Cinder will teach him as always how to behave himself. Just as Max taught Auggie after Cinder left.
Now it is just me and Auggie, we are very lonely right now without Maxie Boy but, time will fade the pain and we will be happy again.
I miss my Booga so much, even knowing he is happy and healthy doesn't stop the tears.
Those two days a few weeks ago happened so fast.
I wanted to keep you forever, but seeing you in so much pain was unbearable. I finally made up my mind to release you. Just as I was about to pick up the phone to call the doctor you made the decision for me. I suppose you knew I was too weak to say the words. She told me you had just eaten a bowl of food and drank some water. She turned back to look at you and "you just stopped" She told me I did all the right things and that you did not have any pain or suffering at the end.
I will miss you all my life, for you were the one who was mine and mine alone. My life was for you and your life was for me. I can never forget that.
Until we meet again my Maxie Boy. I will always love you.

Patricia Lee

Dear sweet Cindy, I will miss that little tail of yours wiggling so fast that is was as a twinkling star. no more will you bound out the door barking with joy every morning. No more will your big brown eyes look up at me as you lay your chin on my knee begging for just a bite of my dinner. No more will your warm body lay next to my feet at night keeping them toasty on cold nights. Now you are at last with your daddy at Rainbow Bridge playing in the fields with all the furbrothers.and fur sisters and your furbabies that have gone on ahead. When your human daddy left us last year I was sure you would be following him soon. It was just 15 days less than 1 year ago that your daddy left and now you are once more with him playing ball and putting your chin on his knee begging with your beautiful eyes. Mommy will miss you, and so will the other furkids here. But your pain is over. We love you Cindy. Bye bye sweet girl.

You were always there for me Cinders. I love you and miss you so much. You always knew how to cheer me up, but now you aren't here anymore.. so I try to remember all of the things you used to do. How you used to get into my bag of mints and always came out from under the desk with fresh smelling breath, and how you always just wanted to be close to me. When you got sick and you couldn't go on, you still tried your hardest to be with me every moment of the day, and when I held you as the vet put you to sleep, you looked up at me and I felt your tiny heartbeat slow. I will never forget you.. your sweet personality, the silly things you did, and how you did everything you could to make me happy. Until we see each other again, I'll be thinking of you always! Goodbye sweet Cinders.

Sarah Davis

You stayed with me so long, I started to believe you would always be there.
I love you and I hope you had a good life with me. Going camping, to the Glenn, seeing your grandma in Calgary etc.

Love Leigh

I love you Cinders. You'll always be a part of me.

Cindi 4/19/1992 - 8/7/2000

You were the best friend and companion I ever had. You couldn't help the things you did and I know you know I loved you and wanted what was best for you. I miss you so much the house seems so empty without you. You were a beautiful German Shepherd and tried so hard to not hurt your companions - know it was the breeder who was wrong not you. My heart hurts because I know you hurt each time you did wrong. I gave you the best for as long as I could.
Your kitty misses you. I hope where you are you are happy and getting along with your old friends and your new ones.
Love, Mom Anna Zurawski

Cindy... Thank you so much for the joy you brought to our lives. Thank you for teaching us so much in your simple way and keeping us together. We love you very much. You deserved so much more than what we could give you. You were nothing but good to us. I hope you're healthy and finally getting the rest you deserve and all the food that you want to eat and toys to play with. Thank you for being our friend. Mom will miss you the most, but we all miss you so much. I can't even remember what life was like before you. But now you've gone home to be with the Father... Please wait for me, I will join you one day. I will cherish your memory always.

Love, Ryan

You were the best puppy a family could ever have. After all these years, you are still in our hearts. Till we meet again, our Cindy Lou.

Graham Family

Dear Cindy, You brought much happiness to our home and lives. Your little quirks and personality were truly yours. Just remember you are a "pretty" girl. Have fun scruffling over the rainbow bridge and say hello to Gabby and Andy from Mom & Dad. We loved you very much. Mom, Dad, Winky, Casey & Eli.

Your were only with us four months, until your cancer came back. We hope that we gave you the best home that you ever had, in that short time.

Good bye "Miss Mini" we love you and miss you.

David, Barbara, Bunzzy, Piper and Bloomer

Found you on Christmas, bald, cold and nails that went on forever. You had surgery, and the prognosis was not good- malignant cancer. That was a year ago, and you fought a courageous battle. Today we let you to meet George, Smokey and Dumars at the Rainbow Bridge. May God bless your soul, and let you play and ferret dance across the heavens- I miss you much, but am grateful you are no longer uncomfortable or suffering at all. Love you

Karen

He was the best cat in the whole world. He was loving, dear, and a great companion. Purring was his best skill. He loved his head rubbed and to go outside and rule the yard. He was killed in a dog attack by two boxers in our yard. The neighbors electric fence was not on to control them. They have a new baby in their house and the behavioral Vet. says this was a warning to the parents that the dogs are disturbed and could harm the baby. Too late for our Cinnamon. Rest in Peace Faithful Companion!

Cinnamon, I miss so much & loved you with all my heart. There is this empty feeling in my heart. I miss holding and petting your soft fur. I miss seeing you romping around the house. I see the empty space where your pen was and start to cry. Snowflake misses you, too. I love you Cinnamon. I have so many memories of you. They were beautiful memories of five years. I wish I could have you back. I hope one day we'll be together again.
Miss and love you,
Ruth

Our Beloved Cinnamon.
We loved you more than you ever knew. Your furry smile and sloppy kisses are memories now. But we want to thank you for the short time you were on this earth for the unconditional love that you gave us. We feel lost without you right now Cinnamon. If we could take back that night and that horrible car we would but we can not. We can not understand why God took you from us but we believe that he must have needed another angel. Because you are one now. We love you Cinnamon forever.

Amanda and Rob

For Cinnamon, 11/19/87 - 2/29/00

Your absence is an enormous hole in the fabric of our daily lives.
Your sister, Pepper, misses you more each day that passes and you don't come home.
Sweetheart, stay close by the Bridge and wait for us. I promise someday we will all be together again, forever.

We love you.

Rena Jones

Whether we admit it or not, each of us needs an anchor in this ever-shifting ocean of life. My sweet companion and pet Cinnamon probably didn't ever know that she anchored me, my life. At a time that I desperately needed it, her presence and my tending to her needs gave me a gift I hadn't yet given myself. She showed how valuable routine can be and that responsibility is an opportunity is a see if we have the ability to respond to circumstances and situations. She gave me that opportunity and watched me grow because of it. I will never forget her sweet brown eyes smiling up at me or her head thrown back as she stuck her face out the window as we drove down the road. She had dignity, a warm self-esteem and more heart than I can believe. I will miss our walks, our talks and the bond that together we forged. Thank you for letting me share.

Betsy Blaney

Cissy, beautiful boxer, loyal friend and deeply missed.

Love always
Cheryl & Mike

Citation, thank you for the love and sweetness that you brought us. You were the first persian kitten we bred and now you are gone. I hope that your last days were not too long and that you were in no pain. We love you and will miss you always. Say hi to Lucy for me-I hope to see both of you again.

Jackie Rose

To the best tennis ball chasing dog in the world. You are truly missed.

E. Mack

We all miss you very much, and a day hasn't passed where we wish you were here with us. You had to leave ...you're poor body couldn't handle the pain anymore...you were the most intelligent, compassionate Basset Hound around...C.J.--we all want to know that you're alright and doing well--and we want you to know how much pain we feel right now, living in your absence---we have to believe you know how we feel...WE pray for you every night, and dream of the day we will be re-united...you can never be replaced, replicated, imitated, or duplicated...you were and are one of a kind...we miss you and love you dearly..

She was the happiest, most content girl we ever had, until her untimely demise July 29, 2000. She was born around 08/90, and she blessed us with her presence until july 29, 2000. 'Lumpy Foofooleenee', I miss you with all my heart, as do Amir, Adem, Pinky-Stinky, and especially Blackie. Please watch over Ma, Daddy, Bako, and all the others in Heaven, and be sure to chase all the hawks ("KILLERS") for us up there. Love forever, Tisa.

In memory of Clancy, my love, my prince my soulmate my reason for getting up in the morning. A gentle giant. Clancy loved to lie on my shoulder and purr. He loved to snuggle under the covers when it was cold. He loved catnip and catnip. His loving heart failed him. Survived by his mother, Mona Biehl, his father, Dieter Biehl and his sister, Purrdita (a loving grey cat). May he run and play and purr over the rainbow bridge, until we meet again.

C. J. - We miss you terribly. A day doesn't go by when we don't wish you were here with us. You were the best. We know you are happy now in a place where you can see, hear and run again and eat whatever you want, including your favourites - chicken, turkey and Wendys' hamburgers! Forget that special dog food for seniors you had to endure the past couple of years! We can see you up there running on three legs and stopping to sniff everything in sight. We hope you know that we were there with you when you passed away at home. We have a new bassett puppy and your spirit lives on in him. We will never forget you, C.J. Love, Mom, Dad & Ryan.

You brought joy and happiness to those who needed you most. You will always be loved and remembered by us and Cassy. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you....you had so much ahead of you in life. I love you.

Julia McCandless

Claudius, oh Claudius, where are you when I need you. You were in the prime of your life, you should be curled up in the other office chair right now, not gone from my life.

You loveable fool you, you died so terribly tragic and far too young. I wish I could have been there for you. You followed me out that morning to the car and I told you don't worry, you would see me at our new house, had I only known.

If I could go back in time to that moment dear sweet Claudius I would have taken you with me. How truly sad I am without you. I miss you so much. Your warm greeting when I get home. Stealing my socks off of my feet. Your endless companionship.

What will I do without you. I need you so bad...

Claw-dette will be missed, she was more than a cat or pet she was family and almost a daughter.

Her teddy bear goes with her on her journey across the rainbow bridge.
Tonight she passed with myself and my wife holding her.
love will never be lost or forgotten when she is in my heart and mind...

Go softly sweet baby into the arms of Freya.
The goddess will watch over you and care for you.
my love and my thoughts will always have you in them,
for you are as much a part of me as life itself.
You will be missed but never forgotten.
For you are my child, and I loved you so.

William Greathouse

Cleat was not a dog, cat or bird. He was a mouse. But a very special mouse. He was ALSO MY mouse. And my friend. Oh sure he bit alot, but only because he hated to be picked up. As are the other pets and family members in my family who have died, Cleat is held very close to me. And I will always miss him. Cleat was also was killed three days ago, when the garage door was left open (my mom hated mice and made me keep him and his companion, Sage, outside in the garage) and a cat got in and attacked them.

Although one of my parents left the door open in the garage that fateful night, I am just as much to blame. The mice were my responsibility, and I should have checked on them myself. Perhaps if I had, they'd still be here.

Kim

Maple Hill's Cool Hand of Justice is now dog trailing on rainbow bridge. He was just a pup, a big, floppy eared bloodhound. A big bucket of slobbery kisses and wonderful hound howls. You are mourned and missed by everyone. Clem I don't know why God put you with our family, but the lessons you taught us are so many. You prepared us for our future trailing endeavors and taught us more than we ever wanted to know about bloat. May your episodes be a teaching tool for many and may good come from your story. God Bless you, my furry "Dog Bert" and keep you happy until we meet again. Mom Loves You!!!!!

Kate Joy

Clem was another stray that was coming around for food and petting and on Christmas Day, 1992 we took him in since it was going to -10 degrees that night and he stayed with us ever since (yes we tried so hard to find his owner). He also he taught the other 3 cats we had how to wrestle and play. After we had him one year he developed severe kidney crystals and had to have him turned into a "she". He had 5 great years after that operation and we noticed he was not eating and rapidly losing weight. He died in November of 1998 of kidney disease. We are glad that he had a great 5 years to live and enjoy the rest of his inside family (Garfield, Nermal and Pookie). Rest in peace Clem.

Lou & Donna Leciejewski

She was such a sweet ferret. She used to come and greet me every morning when I woke up, eagerly awaiting her treats. When I walked near her cage, she would come to the side of the cage in order for me to pet her head. She loved attention and she loved people. She died at such a young age and it almost seems unfair. She lost the ability to eat and move at her own will due to diabetes, pancreatitis, and kidney failure. Even on her death bed, she tried to please me by trying to eat even though she did not have the desire or ability. She couldn't hold her head up but she tried in order to see me. She was in so much pain, so we chose to euthanize her after consulting with a veterinarian specializing in ferrets. She was so helpless as I held her in my arms for the last time to say goodbye. I will miss her everyday, especially her happy face greeting me in the morning, almost giving me a reason to have a good day. It is just so hard trying to cope with her not being here. I understand each day gets a little better, so I will just have to wait and see.

Stephanie Williams

She was my precious angel, and will always live in my heart and my memories.
I love you, Princess.

Traci

Gone but never, ever forgotten. We will meet again.

Bernice

My beloved friend and companion, I will love you always and wish you love and peace. Thank you for all the ways that you enriched my life. I will miss you sweet girl.

Michelle S.

Cleo was born in Nevada in 1986; a gentle, happy, loving and funny friend and companion, this wavy-haired white terrier mix with huge, loving, amber eyes was more my child than anything else. She was a constant source of joy, comfort, fun, and we had many adventures together all over the country. On July 14, 2000, she died quietly and quickly at home after four years of insulin injections to treat diabetes mellitus, and as other organs began to fail and alzheimer's settled in, I bid my darling girl goodbye. She was a person to me, just not in a human body; I miss her so much, but am grateful for the life and relationship we shared. If not for the love, I would not feel her loss so deeply now. While friends are sympathetic, I can't "just get over it" or "quick, get another dog". Only time will heal, and there will only ever be one Cleo. She was truly perfect; I'm glad that we were together.

R Long

Cleo was my best friend. She only new to please me. She and I had a bond that was beyond master to pet and as I write this tears fill my eyes. She will be missed for as long as I live and I hope when it is my time to go that we will see each other again..

Cleopatra Von Drenth

Cleo was a very loving, sweet natured little cat. She will be missed always.

Nancy Botts

An angel came down from heaven and has now returned there. It was our privilege to have her and we thank God for her time with us though it seems all to short. We love you and look forward to meeting you again at Rainbow Bridge. We miss you and we hurt for our loss but thank you for your time with us.

With love always Mummy and Daddy

My dearest cat, Cleo, I am missing terribly and will miss for the rest of my life. She was the most beautiful, intelligent, loving creature I've ever known. She truly was my best friend and companion. I miss the way she joyfully trotted towards me when I called her name, with her heart shaped tag swinging left and right. I miss how she tapped me on the arm 3 times with her paw when she wanted some of my food or sometimes to just be petted. I miss how she plopped herself on my legs and kept me warm and feeling comforted (and 'plastered' down so I couldn't move).
I miss her sweet face looking at me as I held it in my hands. I miss her questioning meows, and all the memories of her from kitten to 'little ol' lady' cat. I miss being able to call her all the silly nicknames I called her; "Boo boo kitty", "Bookitty", "Boomie", "Boomie Boo", "Boo catta" (pron. cotta), "Kitty Boo", "Micaboo" (pron. Me-ca-boo, which came from 'My cat boo'), and probably others through the 17 long years of life we shared, that have escaped present memory. I loved her with all my heart where within she will remain forever with me. I miss you, Cleo, (1982-1999) rest in God's peace where I hope we'll meet again someday, somewhere, ...over the rainbow.
With all my heart, in loving memory,
Wendy C. 1/20/00

Clicky came to live with us when he was only about three weeks old, just a bundle of fluff. Clicky had a very special personality, one that I had never seen before, he was so gentle you could do anything in the world with him, when I would wake up in the morning and put my robe on, Clicky always wanted to lay in my robe around my back, I would put him behind me in my robe and he would purr so loud you could hear him all over the house. Clicky could sense when you were not feeling well, and the first thing he would do would be to cuddle alongside of you, and not leave your side for any reason, There was not a day that went by that he did not bring a smile to my face, Clicky was diagnosed with renal failure in Dec. /99, the vet wanted to put him down then, we decided against it, instead my wife and I thought we could nurse him back to health, my wife spoon fed him for several weeks an used a eye dropper to give him liquids so he would not get dehydrated, but after a short period of time, Clicky wanted to leave and cross the bridge, it was just to painful for him. My wife and I carried Clicky to the vet for the finale time, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life, knowing that I had to let Clicky go. I built a small wooden casket and buried him with all his favorite toys he had for many, many years, we planted a pear tree next to him. It has been almost a year now since Clicky left, and I still hurt as much now as I did then, I miss him terribly.

I can’t believe you won’t be coming home. You’ve never spent more than a night out in your entire life. Every day when the school bus drops me off at the bottom of the street, I run towards home, expecting to see you, either waiting for me at the end of the driveway, dozing under a bush on the front lawn, or for you to appear out of the woods across the street and run towards me with your tail held high. I want to scoop you up into my arms, hear you purr and carry you into the house again, as I’ve done many times before.

Whenever it rains, I open the front door and call for you, expecting you to come out from wherever you’re seeking shelter and run towards the door, or to see you curled up on the hood of one of the neighbor’s cars, staring at me with those big orange eyes that match your coat so well, expecting me to go out in the pouring rain to carry you in just so you won’t have to get your feet wet!

Whenever I go out walking, especially when I pass your favorite neighborhood hangouts, I expect you to show up out of nowhere and follow along behind me, as you’ve always done in the past. Sometimes I even look behind me, out of habit to see if you are following.

Whenever I go on my swing in the backyard just before bed, I expect you to come running across the lawn and jump up on top of the wishing well waiting to be carried in, or if you’re feeling adventurous, you might even decide to climb the swing set instead.

Whenever I watch the other cats frolic outside I expect you to jump out any second and pounce on them! Whenever I feed the other cats on top of the dishwasher, especially when beef is on the menu, I expect you to come out from wherever you are, enter the kitchen and promptly jump atop the dishwasher and begin eating.

Whenever the dogs bark, I look out the window to see if you’re outside, but of course you’re not there and the other animals know it too.

You’ve only been in my life for a little over six years and it seems like you’ve been here forever. I remember that Halloween afternoon when I was nine years old like it was yesterday. I originally wasn’t going to get a kitten until Christmas, but when the lady who promised me on of her cat’s kittens told me her cat was hit by a car, and the news brought me to tears, my parents said I could get a kitten that very day.

I had picked out your name weeks before, and was working on knitting a blanket for you that was about half done at the time. When I saw you in that little cage at the vet clinic, our eyes met and you walked into my arms purring, I knew we were meant for each other.

You had the loudest purr I have ever seen in a cat. You very seldom got angry, you even put up with my childish attempts at play, every thing from dancing with you, to trying to teach you how to read! Even when I lost my temper with you various times you forgave me within minutes. I did learn, however that when you DID get angry it was best not to cross your path!

You helped me make the transition from a scared, lonely, frustrated little girl with no friends, to a confidant, successful young lady. You made a major difference in my life.

I know that whenever my life on earth is over and I enter the next world, we will meet again in the same way we first met.

Cliff was an great cat. I knew when she got too sick, I would have to keep my promise to her to end the suffering. I buried her in my favorite place. It is beautiful and happy there. She was my friend for 17 years and I miss her very much.

Sue

I will always love you and miss you.

Lee Ann

I will miss you dearly. You are truly "momma's girl". Take care and play each day. I will be with you again in heaven one day.

Cathy Choate

To our sweet little girl
You gave us many years of joy
We will always remember you and love you
As your memories will continue to live on
In our hearts forever.
Godspeed little one, Godspeed..

Clover had a very sweet and gentle spirit. She knew how to have fun and taught me so much. She taught me how to make a home and family. She loved big, big walkies, going to the cabin, sleeping in a soft spot, and most of all kittys. She could get pretty grungy between visits to the groomer - stinky breath, dingleballs, generally smelly. But to me, she was always beautiful like a fairytale princess with a crown of flowers running thru a summer field. Now matter how dirty she got, she always smelled good to me when I'd bury my face in her neck. That special Clover smell that I miss so much. She was a beautiful dog, the best looking westie I ever saw, but what made her beautiful was her loving, happy, feminine nature. I loved the way kids would squeal as soon as they saw her and how happy she was to get petted/mauled by them. We buried her at the cabin, near the bluff overlooking the ocean. She loved the beach and would worry whenever we started packing the car to go to the cabin. Worry that she was going to get left behind. Never again. Goodbye little Clover. I want you and I always will.

Sonda Juliussen

Clover, you were a handsome, quiet, dignified little bird, devoted to the other three members of my waxbill flock - the "little brown bird" brigade. I know that Crystal, your second "wife", will miss you terribly.... but you're now with little Crimson, your first wife, over the Rainbow Bridge.

Good-bye, my Clovie, and fly free.

Your hu-mom, Robin

Clovis, my sweet baby. You were the light of my life. I hope you are happy at the rainbow bridge. Play and have fun. Now you will have a happy life, no more pills, no more poking and prodding at you, shaving.
Sleep sweet and softly my Clovis bear and always remember mommy loves you and will always remember the love you gave me. I cant wait until I see you again...but until then be happy.
I LOVE YOU CLOVIS
MOMMY

You died peacefully on your favorite spot. Missed by Mommy and Amy and Matthew

Dear Baby Boy Clyde...Its been 8 months since you left us peacefully. Happy Birthday Baby Boy We never really knew when we adopted you your exact day of birth. December 3rd was your new start in a happy home full of love. Capone will never replace you nor any other dog. But he sure acts alot like you Your sister Bonnie Ke-Ke misses you so. Daddy Tom and I will never forget how you taught us all about the Doberman breed. You were sent to us by God so we could learn about your other brothers and sisters out there up for adoption and you knew we would bring them into our home and give them a chance too Thanks for your unconditional love. We miss you and love you so so much. Happy Birthday Clyde Love...Mommy and Daddy

A Final Prayer For My Best Friend

Dear Heavenly Father,

On this day, I send back to you one of the most precious gifts you have sent me. I have known a true friend and companion for fifteen years. A friend that did not judge or find fault in me. We are blessed that you gave us both such a long and joyous time together. I have been aware and thankful for several years that you gave us both such an extended and happy time together. I thank you for allowing his suffering to be brief.

I do not know how I will face the mornings without Clyde at the foot of my bed. No more will he be in the way on a busy morning. No longer will I brush the hair from my clothes on the way to a busy meeting. No more will we see the sunrise together at the lake. No more will he come to me when I am sad.

Clyde has helped us to raise a family. Has struggled with us through difficult times and voyaged with us through three homes. He has complained little and has given so much. I honor him for his complete selflessness. Even in his final hours, wracked with pain and discomfort, his only concern was to provide comfort to me and his family. My eight year old son stepped into the school with tears in his eyes. Please comfort him, my loving wife who brought me my dear friend, my oldest son who has been so caring and sensitive through this and please Father, comfort me. I ask little, but I have never known such agony and loss. I must be strong for my family who has been so loving to me.

I ask that you welcome Clyde, as he is truly a gentle and loving soul. Please remove his suffering. Please take the misery of these seizures from his body. Please give him limbs that don't fail. Please give him steps to climb and flowers to walk on. It is OK if he gets a little dirty, he doesn't like to be bathed much. Please tell him that he no longer has to cry. Mostly Father, please give him back the dignity he so richly deserves.

Father, I pray with my whole heart that you provide him the comfort of knowing I'll never forget our time and love together. My mind is so full of memories of the happiness, silliness and sadness that we experienced together. Please hold these memories clear in my mind. Please give Clyde something with my scent that will never fade and a part of my heart to comfort him until we are together again. Please help him to understand that I will see him again. Even though he may see our lives grow and future pets may come into our lives, he will never be replaced. Clyde will forever hold a very special and very large part of my heart. How joyous the day will be when we can be together again.

Father, I have been so fortunate. Thank you for sharing Clyde with me.

R. Abercrombie

I love you Clyde; Bonnie, Shadow and I will never forget you! I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most. Rest in peace and someday I'll see you at the bridge. I love you, you'll always be my baby and you'll always have a special place in my heart.

Amanda

I will never have such a true friend as my first baby, Cocamo. May you be in heaven and in peace. We love you and will always miss you.

Judy and Sam

Coccoa it has been 1 week since you left us. We love you very much and miss you and not a day goes by we do not think about you. You were a wonderful friend. And we know someday we will all be together again. And your brother Barney (mini Schnauzer) and sisters Buttons, Bayleigh, and Betty also miss you.

Love, Dad, Mom Barney, Buttons, Bayleigh and Betty

A trusted and loyal friend taken much too soon. A comedian and way to smart. Loved to walk us when he could. Stricken with cancer at 18 months. Was a trooper till the end. Went to the Bridge with our arms around him. We'll miss him always.

Susan Fitts

Words cannot describe the depth of your footprints on our hearts, Arvel (cried for) Cochise Apache Cerebus, Thank you for the warm images you left in all our minds.

Leanne Keefer Bechdel

Coco,
To my beautiful sweet dog. I miss you so much.
The day I put you to sleep was the worst day of my life.
I didn't want you to suffer, I wanted you to go with dignity. I miss coming home from work and seeing you wagging you tail and looking into your sweet eyes. You are loved so much. I know you are running and barking and feeling no pain. You brought us so much love and happiness in our lives. I miss and love you more than words could ever say. I know someday we will be together again, forever!!

WE LOVE YOU,
Your Mother, John, Michelle and Julie

Diane Kosar

I love you Coco! It wasn't fair that you had to leave me. Please come back, please! I'm sorry for everything that hurt you. I know you were in pain, but why?! who did this to you?! I miss you and will never be able to put into words how much I loved you in fact that love will NEVER EVER change. I miss you, come back! Coco, dink I love you and every night I pray , cry, and ask God to take care of you. I always think about you and I'll never forget about you. Like when I was a baby, you jumped in my crib and mommy and daddy couldn't find you, but you were there with me. Remember? Coco its so hard, but when we reunite I'll be so happy! I know your looking down on me and saying "Thanks for not letting me suffer" But I always think, could I have stopped her from leaving?! Oh, Coco thanks for sending us Krissy. She looks like you two are related. I'm just happy your not in pain and your with your family. Coco I'm sorry for fighting about putting you out after school. I'm sorry for yelling at you and running into you. I'm sorry for keeping you in my room most of the time. But most of all Coco, I'm sorry for you leaving me. I just wish you were here, but I know you still are. I'm glad I have memories of you. Like when we thought we lost you and I cried, but you were really in the garage. Coco I know you see me crying, and you probably think I shouldn't but its hard. I just wish we had more time and you were mortal but your not. I'm now starting to except why your gone. When we were at the ER I hated seeing them take you back there. I wish you weren't in pain and this was all just a night mare and not even real. I miss snuggling with you and rolling on my back and squeezing you nose. What I'm trying to say is that I love and miss you so much. Well I have to but I'll always love you and think of you Dink! Thanks for the memories and that night when it stormed, we were in the hallway and I sang to you and you stayed there with me. Well you weren't lucky this time, but you knew it was your time, didn't you? Well bye Dink, Ill always love you no matter what!!!! Love you always, Julie(your sister)
p.s you were like a 2nd mom, you took care of me!

A brave little dog that never complained about her illness during her 6 month struggle for life. She died peacefully in her sleep. We will miss her terribly.

Bob and Patricia Acord

To Mom and Dad in remembrance of Coco.

Tracey

We lost you too early to luekemia. You were so brave at the end and we will never forget you.
Your little brown eyes when you would fluff , we would go "peuw"
And your eyes would squint.
You were our little angel
Rest in peace, honey

Karen Daum

Our Dear Beloved Coco: We miss you so very much. Our hearts ache for you every day. We hope to see you at the Rainbow Bridge one day. Chanel is so lonely without you and hopes to see you at the Rainbow Bridge too. We love you so very much and will never forget the unconditional love you gave us every day of our lives.

Marjorie Stein

A tribute to a special friend who passed away today. I was there when God decided to take you home where you will no longer feel pain. Wait for me at Rainbow Bridge my friend, I'll see you soon. Coco, Rest In Peace. Your friend, Janet

CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU!

Christmas without you here with me, can never possibly be the same. But I carry a special Angel within my heart; one so precious, who has your name. An Angel forever watching over me, at Christmas time, and over the year. Although you can't be here anymore, inside my heart, you are so very near. There is no special present for you, wrapped up under my Christmas tree, But I have a greater gift to give to you; all the love you can still feel from me. No, Christmas time without you here, could not ever possibly be the same, But I have had the precious gift of you, and the memories and love will remain. MERRY CHRISTMAS COCO, I LOVE YOU, JANET.

She was unassuming, yet vocal, and helped her owner, my daughter, Makenzie, to love and trust. She died after an operation from a tumor burst the night before. I didn't know that she had a tumor, but she was gravely ill the morning of the day she died. I wish I would have known how ill - the vet said he call and let me know how she did after the operation. He called to say that she had died 10 minutes after the operation. What a shock; I was totally unprepared. Now I'm $649 poorer and do not have my loving, little Coco. Her lifelong companion, Phoebe, is handling it so-so, but Coco was her only friend - - Phoebe doesn't appreciate humans. She will not be petted; she may head-butt, if she is in an extremely good mood. I think Phoebe will make it. And this is the first day that I have not cried outwardly. But why did dear little Coco have to die? She was a delight to all who knew her. She was the best pet ever. I loved her. And her love was unconditional.
Love, Joan, Makenzie, Melissa, Chuck, Derrice, Paikene and Soneka (those who loved her the most)

Our Memories

One day she wasn't feeling well
Then she began to fall
She said to me
"Remember girl, we've been through it all

That first night they brought you home
I wondered what is that thing
She put you in your high up cage
And then began to sing

You cried and cried you kept me awake
I wished you'd shut your mouth
She sang some more you quieted down
I liked you just about

There was that time I knocked you down
And ate your pumpkin too
I gave you a lot of frowns
And you gave me your food

You locked me in the tent one time
But I still gave you the ball
We did thing to each other
But we've been loyal through it all

So as I leave you promise me
That you come too some day
And met me here, in heaven dear
And we'll be here to stay"


-Nina Serdy
age 10

Coco was my sweet little girl. I'll see you at the Rainbow Bridge one day. I miss you so much.

Janis Haas

Co Co, you are missed so much. This house is not the same since you left. I am not the same with you gone. You have given me so many memories, so many smiles. You knew me so well and I knew you so well also. We had a special relationship and no one will ever take your place. I like to think you are in a happy place and you are feeling good. I hated seeing you so sick. I love you Co Co and I know it will be a long time for the loneliness to get better. Thank you for your love. Your Mama, Liz

My special little man. Thank you for being there when I came to adopt. You and I shared 13 years of love and good times. You were my companion, my little buddy, the friend who always understood. You were always there for me. When your little heart just couldn't do it anymore, I couldn't believe it was time to say goodbye.  
I love you so very, very much and I miss you.

M. Lange

We lost our little Cocoa, Had to put her to sleep.
Her loss is so devastating, Our eyes still do weep.
That tiny little dog, So frail yet so strong
Showed us her love, Though not with us long.
She knew how to give, Every day of her life.
Never once giving a clue, Of her own terrible strife.
Running through the house, With her cute two paw hop,
We secretly hoped That it would never stop.
Out in the driveway, Sunning with Sadie
Cocoa always behaved Like the perfect little lady.
Our hearts she did steal, With each passing day.
Now she is with us, Forever to stay.
In life her little tongue, Was so delightful to see.
In death that same tongue, Showed she is resting peacefully.
We said our goodbye To our beautiful friend
But we know in our hearts, Her love will not end.


Joe & Kim Bozik

Our precious Bean, you were not just a pet to us, you were a member of our family and we will miss you dearly. We will never forget you and you will remain in our hearts forever.

Robb Radakovich Family

My silly Siamese boy. With the ridgeback part, the hair that grew up on his neck instead of down, & the overbite. Who loved to race from one end of the house to the other over the tops of furniture. Who insisted I awake by a nip on my nose. Who never saw a lap that was too full - if there were kitties already there, he just sat on top of them. The kitty who was most distressed if I cried. The kitty who fought cancer until he was just too tired. I miss you & will always miss you. Coconut, my silly man, I love you dearly.

Pam Norman

I would like to pay tribute to ANY animal/pet that has passed away due to Cancer!

Lori Mountain

Dearest Wonderbean,

How we miss you. We are thankful for the short time we spent with you and cannot wait until we meet you at the bridge. We love you and Sam misses you so much. He looks for you every night before we go to bed. Thanks for the sign you sent letting us know you are okay.

We love you Bean...

Mama, Daddy, and Sam

A tough decision, we were forced to make.
Your sweet and precious life, to let God take.
Always reliable, steady and true.
A faithful companion we had in you.
Now that we're apart, for however long.
You'll remain in our hearts, from dusk until dawn.
Til the day we unite, together again.
We will miss you so much, our dear special friend.
Sleep peaceful, pain free, and run free in God's land.
Til one day you again, feel the love in our hands.
When you run to us, as we come to God's door.
From that day forward, we will grieve you no more.
With all of our hearts, we love you it's true.
"Codie-Co Ambrose", we deeply miss you.

Love, Daddy, Mommy, Felecia, Amanda, Jake, Kristy, & your puppy-sister "Sophie-Girl"

Cody was a Golden Retriever, such a wonderful dog. So full of life. He loved the outdoors, running through the hills and playing in the water. He taught me so much about caring and loving. We had such a special connection. I loved looking into those soft brown eyes. He was my sweet boy, my heart dog - he stole my heart. I'll never forget him, he'll be in my heart always. I know his spirit is still shining like the sun. I'll plant yellow roses for him, to carry on his memory, of that shining, loving spirit. Until we meet again, may God keep you in the palm of his hand.

Love, Cathy

You saved my life literally. I was as far down as I could be with two jobs and still in debt, contemplating suicide and living in a one room flat when you came into my life and showed me there are worse things... your appreciation of home made me appreciate that I did not have to live outside... you unconditional love showed me that little things count and I am needed... you moved with me six times over these years and watched me grow from a depressed broke busboy to the computer professional I am today... You loved me either way and that is the best message and gift I have ever been given... to Cody, I thought you were co-dependent because you wouldn't leave my side ... even on your death bed you were brave and obedient... I will always love you...

Cody, you were a gentle light in this world, and you deserved to live a long and happy life. I will never understand why you had to die. You touched everyone you met, and even though we had you with us for such a short time, you will be a part of us forever. Goodbye my angel.

Sharon Hobson and Jim Bagnall

My dog's name is Cody. I love her so much. Cody, I want you to know that I will love you forever. Cody wasn't buried in the backyard...she was buried in my heart. "Even though we're apart we will always be together. I love her soo much. I miss her. I sang a song to her a month before she died I kept on singing it to her every day. It goes like this..."There is a song that the wind breaths when the sea rocks, Your a flower, your a star, your a rainbow, I loved you the first time I saw you, and I always will love you Cody." I kept on singing till one day when I came home from school my mom had told me that she was gone. So, I went out to her and there she was...dead I sang the song one last time. I love u Cody!!!!!!!!!

Caroline

For six short years you filled our lives with love and unspeakable joy. We only pray that the deep grief which we are feeling will someday begin to be replaced by the endless happy memories you little mischievous, spirited, and always dear and loving friend gave us all. Words cannot express how much you are missed.
Our love always and forever,
Mommy, Poppy, Irene and brother Max

Our special, sweet boy Cody passed away from terminal cancer (hemangiosarcoma) on Thurs., 7/13/00, at approximately 10:20 p.m. Cody was such a blessing to our family, he was a good will ambassador to all. One of his favorite things to do was to go to the park and hang out with all of the kids. He loved everyone, and everyone loved him. We will always love our sweetest boy, our fuzzy-wuzzy. I just thank God for sending him to our family. He was a blessing to us everyday of his short life.

Jenny Oldham

Cody was my best friend for eight short years(1992-7/09/00,rottweiler). I am absolutely devastated at having to let him go. A part of me died with him that day. No matter how bad my day was or how ill Cody was, he would always greet me at the door. I could always count on him for that. I really hope there is a rainbow bridge, I know he'll being waiting there to greet me like he always did. I am grateful to god for letting me have the honor of knowing what true friendship, loyalty & love is. His name was Cody. Thank you for giving people such a wonderful site to honor their loved ones. God bless you & god bless my pal Cody.

Terence Murphy

Cody, you were only with us for a short five years. I still vividly remember the day I picked you up. You seemed so aloof and distant. However, as you came to know your home your wonderful personality really captured our hearts.

We will miss your playfulness when you would bound through the yard chasing Max; the way you had to have all the stuffed toys; the way you liked to sing as Laura played the piano; and the way you always wanted to be by our side (especially at meal times – how you loved to eat); and how you greeted us as we returned home each day from work.

You touched us deeply and will be missed. Rest well and be safe until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge.

Frank & Laura

We miss you so much and will never forget you. We miss you jumping for petting, and the way you loved milk and pizza. Life is hard without you and it has not gotten any better but we know that you are in a better place. We miss you soooo much and will never forget you. Love, mommy and poppy.

Cody was a special Chow. He wasn't aggressive, he didn't bark very much and he was very independent and picky. He was a beautiful cream-colored Chow that everyone always remarked on how beautiful he was.

He was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma (invasive cancer) two weeks ago, and probably would've lived a little longer except he had a large lump on his throat that prevented him from eating. It was so hard watching a once vibrant, happy, loving dog become depressed, undernourished and lethargic. We did the only humane thing we could do, but it still wasn't easy or without guilt.

We loved Cody with all our hearts and will never forget him. We still have two dogs left, so our family would like to wish Cody the best and we'll one day see him in heaven! We love ya Code-man. - John, Sandy, Keisha & Winston

John and Sandy Lanning

We will never get over losing Cody.

Leon & Teresa Covey

To our golden boy, Cody, who went to wait at the "Rainbow Bridge" on Valentine's Day 2000. A horrible disease took his life, but not his soul. He was our constant loving friend for 11 years. Always a puppy at heart with a gentle spirit, loving heart, a wagging tail, and big liquid brown eyes that told us everyday how much he loved us. He is a member of our family who will live in our hearts forever and never be forgotten. Cody, we will meet you at the bridge someday. We love you. Ron, Linda, Scott and Katie Morse

Ron, Linda, Scott & Katie Morse

In loving memory of Cody...Born March 28, 1988, and passed away January 6, 2000. You were a beautiful German Shepherd and our best friend and companion. We miss you so very much! You gave us more joy than anyone could ever imagine. The day your heart stopped beating was the day a piece of our hearts were broken forever. We will never forget your ultimate gift to us, your love and devotion.

Mike and Pat

cancer unexpectedly took my girl from me and her 'sisters'.

Good Bye for now dear friend. Your pain here is over. Rest now until we meet again.

Loved so much
Your Family

The Angels have called Cognac back home. They gently carried her from her room in our home with the wall covered in awards, trophys, and newspaper articles. They are reminders and honors of her lifelong dedication to making a difference in peoples lives. Cognac was a true inspiration to those in need. She was a first class Therapy dog. Her goal in life was to instill confidence and remove any fear from that tentative hand slowly reaching to pet her. To offer comfort and sensitivity to those sad, afraid, and in pain. She had an uncanny ability to sense your inner emotions and would refuse to leave your side if she felt something was amiss. Now it was my turn to hold and comfort her as she made her journey to Rainbow Bridge. She was my soulmate. My confidante. My life. Good bye my sweet Angel. My comfort is in knowing that we will be together again. I Love You....... Lisa

Coko, my little pufferfish, you are loved!

Coko was a beautiful Siamese with brains, a great voice and unfailing loyalty and love. I was lucky to be his human companion.

Amy Bog

I loved you enough to let you go my sweet little Bouche the Man.
'Til we meet at the bridge, I will love you always.

Grandma

Gone so suddenly Cole. No chance to say goodbye. You were the best cat, you big boob. What I wouldn't do to hold you one more time, or to feel your fur on my ankles as you brushed by me. To hear your loud purr as you once again were spoiled with the affection you so enjoyed receiving. My pain is for you and for me Cole.
My cat was runover and killed by a car earlier today. He was the biggest mush you could ever meet. He brought joy, laughter, and love into our home. He is missed so very much.

Debbie Lowdon

Thank you for being such a patient, affectionate, and loving little boy. We all miss you very much and love you dearly.

Kelly, Sebastian, Tiger

To my good friend Colette, I remember kissing you on the nose when you was just a lil girl, wow!!! where did the time go? now you are gone, wishing just to see you once again. As I fall asleep thinking of you then awakening the next morning excited wanting more than anything to see you laying here by my side...although you have only been gone 2 days I feel it has been months, I try to think of the good times but, most of the time I find myself crying...we all miss you very much. In my dreams everynight I'll be looking for you at the rainbow bridge, so keep an eye out for me okay?
Your pal forever Isaac.

Colonel, Thank you for being the perfect companion, Thank you for your unconditional love and for always being there for your family. We shall always hold you in our hearts and will miss you. I pray that you will have a wonderful sunny warm place to roam and romp.

With love, Chris, Carla, Amelia and Sophie

We adopted him when he was 4 years old. He was only with us for 19 months, but he was a special soul. Colonel was our gift from God. In November of 1999, he became ill and was diagnosed with diabetes and possible Cushing's Disease. The test came back negative for Cushing's and we went forward with treatment for diabetes. We had to administer two shots of insulin per day, with weekly visits to the vet for blood glucose tests. Colonel's glucose level was steadily dropping until January. Even though we continued to increase his insulin dosage, his blood glucose level continued to skyrocket. At that point we realized that even though the Cushing's test result was negative, he was in the 5% that had it even though it came back negative. My husband and I made the decision not to continue testing for Cushing's as Colonel was at the end of his patience with all the needles and tests already. Our vet told us that it's very difficult to treat the two diseases together with any success. It was a difficult decision because we loved him so much, but we couldn't put him through any more. We thank God for the 19 months he enriched our lives and we look forward to meeting him again at the Rainbow Bridge. We know he has all the food and freshly fallen snow he wants.

Adrienne & Jeff Ferraro

Klink was my best friend. He was always there for me, and as hard as it was to let him go, I know he's in a better place now. I will miss him stealing my socks and hiding them under the bed, his weird habit of only drinking out of the side of the dog dish, hunting gophers, sleeping in my planter boxes, and a million other little quirks that made him so special. I loved him with all my heart.

Lisa Crea

To my buddy;

It has been one year since you passed on and yet, I can't stop thinking about you.
The family misses you so very much and you will always be in our prayers.
In addition to being my pet, you a police dog and my partner, and protector and you did your job well.

No matter what I do reminds me of you, and I'm grateful for that. I just wanted you to know that you will always be with me.
I can only hope the "Rainbow Bridge" is true.

Love Daddy.

this for my baby that was ears. My son and I are severely hearing impaired and he heard anything and everything for us. He will be so so sadly missed but we think of you still each and every minute of the day!!!!!!!!!you were my child

Gloria Watson

The best companion anyone could ever ask for. I will miss him dearly. Good-bye my beautiful little boy.

Peggy Kohler

This morning my beloved hearthound Conor for some unexplained reason just took off through our property's gate as my wife was opening them for me to go to a doctor's appointment. He started running down the ditch beside the busy highway we live on keenly sniffing all around and oblivious to everything including my command to "COME". I chased after him only to see him come up out of the ditch onto the highway in front of a fast moving truck. God, it was terrible! I saw him tumble out from under the truck, back into the ditch, and try to get up and walk. He was alive. We took him immediately to the vets 5 miles away where he died on the exam table as his lungs filled with blood from internal damage.

I am 54 years old and have never been so attached to a dog. My "hearthound" is gone and my life is filled with a big void. Please light a candle for my beloved Conor who was such a blessing for me and for nearly everyone who came into contact with him. Rest in peace my sweet gentle giant.

Larry Morphis

She was wonderful and made my life great

My Good Girl Cookie!

Mom loves you and misses you so much. You are my girl and I will never forget you! You are a special friend too me!

Love Mom

Cookie was my best friend she was born in April of 1987 and died on august 27,2000. If people could only love as much as my special friend loved me. I miss you cookie, every morning my tears fall for you I'm so lonesome without you, my heart aches. you brought me so much love and enjoyment. I wish I had more time with you but I thanked the good Lord for you and the time I had with you. You deserve special wings you will be greatly missed and always in my heart . So long Cookie Shell . I'll see you at the gate when the Father calls me home. Love you very much, mommy

I miss you. I would do anything to bring you back. I'm sorry for the times I scolded you for minor things that really didn't matter. I wish I could take it all back. I love you!

James

She was a sick dog, very sick lately.... we did everything we could to avoid putting her down, but we had no other choice. The vet did all they could do...

I loved this dog.... she was my roommate and buddy for many years.... I have tons of pictures of her, and lots of memories.

Love, Artie

My beloved Cookie went to the Rainbow Bridge at 1:30 am Saturday morning while she was in ICU at Ohio State Vet Clinic. I must commend the Veterinary Staff there as they were wonderful to her and they came to love her as I did. She had undergone a chemo treatment which had a very severe reaction and with an onset of pneumonia she had respiratory distress and stopped breathing in her sleep. Knowing she was peaceful is a comfort to me and knowing she has gone to a better place is also. This was a third chemo treatment so the reaction was not expected as the previous one had been fine. Cookie was an American Eskimo, twelve years old and the light and smile of my life. She loved the spring and the grass and flowers. Cookie has the biggest smile I have ever seen on a dog, always happy greeting everyone she would meet. She is gentle as the petals of a rose with fur as soft and fluffy as clouds. Her big brown eyes would dance when she was excited and just tell you daily how much love she had inside. My heart breaks I miss her so terribly but I know just as she was my guardian angel here on earth she is now my guardian angel to watch over me from heaven. As I sit here I can feel her presence as her picture smiles down on me and I know she is smiling down on me as well.

Janet Boissy

I had an experience happen the day after my cat died, and I'd like to share my story. Cookie came into my life on July 12th, 1986. He was born in my closet, and I knew he was the one for me. When he was 3 months old, we moved from Minnesota to Pennsylvania. He was a great companion for the long ride. We moved 4 times before finally settling in a house. Everywhere we lived, Cookie was the community cat. Everyone loved him. He was so mellow and easy going. I enjoyed sharing my cat with my neighbors. During the years, I've gotten a dog and two more cars, and Cookie accepted them all. He had the loudest purr I've ever heard from a cat. That purr and some head-butts in the morning were like an alarm clock for me. He wouldn't leave me alone until I woke up. Over the past year I could see Cookie was slowing down. Then in the past 6 months he began to lose weight. Blood tests showed nothing, the vet said he was just getting old. On May 5th, I watched him coming across the street and saw he was having trouble walking. I took him to the vets on the 8th and was told he was running a fever. We put him on antibiotics and were to return on the 12th. I knew in my heart that my Cookie was dying. I prayed I would not have to make the decision I didn't want to make. I held Cookie one night and told him how much I loved him. I told him it was okay to go, that I would miss him. I told him he would be young again and be able to run. As I left for work on the morning of the 11th, I kissed him and told him goodbye, not knowing he would be gone when I got home. I could not have imagined the pain I would feel in losing him. I couldn't bear to think of waking in the morning and him not being there. But the next morning, he did wake me. He was head-butting me, just as always. But it was a younger Cookie, he looked healthy again. I thought, is this a sign that he is as I'd hoped he be when he passed away? I had never heard of the Rainbow Bridge or of this website. I found it by accident 2 days after he died. When I read the story of the Rainbow Bridge, I knew in my heart that seeing Cookie young again was a sign, and that he was letting me know he was alright. And I believe he led me to this website to help ease the pain of losing him. As I lit my first candle this past Monday I felt glad in the knowledge that we will be together again someday, and we will cross that bridge together. In loving memory - Cookie - gone but forever in my heart I love you. Mama Karen

I miss you so much Cookie. I cry every day. I will always love you, Baby. Mommy wishes she can kiss you right now. Some day I will see you again.

Marilyn DeLuca

I miss you and love you. You and Bandit are together again, give her a kiss from me. I'll meet you in heaven. love mommie

Judy

My Cookie was the sweetest, most loving companion I have ever known. I hope she knows how sorely she is missed and I will look for her to meet me when I pass on. She trusted me with her care...she helped me through some of the toughest times in my life....she was always there to greet me when I came home...her life brought brightness into each and everyday of my life. I will you, my little fat girl...I will. Thank you for having been the most loving of friends.

Anne Humphrey

I have just lost my beloved dog of 16 years, Cookie. She was so special to me, and I can't imagine my life without her, though I know time will ease the pain. She suffered so before she died, and this is hard for me to bear, but I think of her at Rainbow Bridge and I think of how wonderful she was and all of the joy she gave to my empty life. I hope and pray I will see her again someday, she was a wonderful dog. I love you, Cookie, and will miss you more than I can say.

Karen Yori

You came into my house unwanted by me or anyone else. Your persistence and loving nature that you at first wouldn't show in public turned me around. Your reputation kept people from wanting to get close to you, but through the years you won over your most staunch critics. In the end your kidneys failed and took you from me. Now that you're gone no one can deny you were a most wonderful dog, we miss you more then anyone will ever know. Good Bye baby, I'm truly glad I kept you.

Tom Woepse

Cookie was rescued from an animal shelter at the age of 6 months. She became part of our family when we adopted her in January 1991. This small bundle of energy quickly stole our hearts & became the center of our lives. She seemed to know just when we would be getting home & would be there with her tail wagging & her kisses. We will miss those so much. We will love you & miss you. You will live on in our hearts until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge.

Tricia

Dear Cookus,
We miss you...we know you're with Beedy and Sable. It's been 5 years and we still miss your crazy howling bark, your underbite and curly tail. We're sure you and Beedy are playing soccer and chasing the garbage man when you can. You're probably laying in the beautiful sun of heaven back to back like the "bookends" we loved so much. We know you'll be there when each of us reaches the Rainbow Bridge. For now watch over us...your our little angel.
Love,
Lizzie I and II

Cooler, my little doggie angel, died Saturday after a long battle with sinus cancer. I am just so totally devastated and lonely, I don't know what to do. Cooler was an angel. He was in my life for 13 years, I wish I could have had 13 more. He had the bluest eyes and the funniest personality. He was such a good dog. We had such a special bond that I don't think I will ever have with another dog. He loved walks, doggie treats, pasta and especially licking my husbands legs, for which we still don't know why. Just having him in my life was something special. I feel so lost without him right now, a part of me is gone forever. I just hope he is "whole" again wherever he is, that he is done suffering. He gave me so many special moments. I still wait for him to come thru the doggie door, but I know he wont anymore. He had the softest fur, people just fell in love with him. Rest in peace my Cooley angel, I will miss you forever.

Deana Hrynkiw

Coolie Cat was not just a pet... she was my best friend.. Her white fur with those two different coloured eyes, one blue the other green... She was the cutest thing that you ever seen. Coolie was a special cat, she helped me get over some real difficult times in my life over these past 13 years. Not only was she there for the bad times but she was there for the good times. Coolie Cat could tell I am sure when I was upset... she was always jump up on me and nudge me just to say I am sure... your friend is here for you. She was taken away from me so suddenly that I never had the chance to say good-bye. I know that she is gone to the place known as Rainbow Bridge.. but I would have just liked to have her here with me a little while longer. I have lost my closest friend whom I told all of my secrets and heartaches to everyday. I will miss her meows and her purrs... and the nudges with her nose. Coolie don't be afraid... someday we will be together again in a better place.

Love you always
Mommy

We miss you Cooney!!!!!

Josh and Julie

We miss and love you "Cooters" Michael & Shonagh Alvey

Casey was a beautiful, gentle animal that suffered much in her all too short life. She was born with crooked legs and received no corrective care so her condition only worsened. When I found her I knew she was meant for me and she seemed to feel the same way about me. She lived with me for 3 yrs and blessed me with 2 beautiful foals before she suddenly passed on leaving behind her 72 day old son YooHoo. Love was not enough to solve the problems she had but I tried. She was loved by my children and she granted them the greatest gift of all by allowing them to ride her(she refused to let an adult on her back) and love her. She is greatly missed here by all of us but we know that one day we will see her again and until then we will hold her close to our hearts and never forget the beautiful animal that gave us the best gift of all-her love.

Sarah

Although Cora was only in our family for a short period of time she touched my heart in a very special way.
She was a lost soul, who was looking for a home but her home was not meant to be here with us on earth.
Hopefully she will be happier at the Rainbow bridge & hopefully she will look for me as I did her when she was with me...

Pat Kennedy

My dog meant the world to me and I will always have a special place in my heart for him. I miss waking up to him every morning and coming home to him in the evening. He was truly a wonderful dog to have as a companion for all those years!

Janice Gilbert

This is a tribute to my beloved dog Corgi. Words can't describe how special this little funny dog was and will always be to me. After being very very sick for three days Corgi got the news that he was dying by kidney failure. At age 14 and 1/2 he knew it was his time. His spirit was down and by looking in his eyes I knew he was trying to stay around for us. He was weak and after getting details from his doctor Corgi knew his fate was more than a stomach flu that would pass. He left this earth peacefully at approximately 3:00 on the 30th of August, 2000 and is survived by his very sad owner Lisa and his "owner in law" Alex, a Grandma who would dogsit from time to time and a family with special memories all their own. Rest in Peace my sweet little Corgi. I miss you so much. the house is empty without your cute little head and tappy feet.

Lisa & Alex Giassa

What can you say about Corkey who came to me as a 3 month old who was afraid of men with hats and loud noises, but who became my guard dog. Mind you he wouldn't have done anything, he just let you know he was there. This was only at home though. Away from home he tuck his tail between his legs and back away from strangers. He had such a wonderful proud gait. His ears would pop up and he would strut.

He will be missed.

Cheryl Fisher

Our beloved cock-a-poo. The most loving, gentle dog anyone could ever want. Born 1/1/86. Departed 5/31/00. We all miss you sweetheart. Mommy loves you and will wait for you at the rainbow bridge.

Iris, Ed & Tracey Stanek

Today my dear friend you went to sleep in my arms. However you took my heart with you. Know I'll always love you. Til we meet again, Goodbye

Marilyn Gawelek

Thank you Corky for 13 and 1/2 years of love, laughs, and most of all, your faith fullness. We will miss you more than words can say. You will be in our hearts until we meet again. This void will never be filled. There is no other dog that will ever replace you, because you were so special. Your ashes will be put to rest with us and only us. This family has lost a very special friend. Take care of Holly and Kozi. Until we meet again, love Poppy and Mema.

I love you, Corky-storo.

Dawn Anderson

And in this life, nothing good is ever lost. It stays part of us, becomes part of our character. So part of me goes everywhere with you. And part of you is mine forever.
Corky, I will always love you. Until we are reunited once again.

Gord & Bonny Bomak

A truly wonderful bird companion and a member of my family who will be missed very much. A sweet cheerful chirping bird to the end, and my house is very silent without him.

Sue MacDiarmid

Corky I love you, always have and always will. I remember when I first got you. You weren't exactly the pick of the litter but you grew up to be a beautiful dog in my eyes.
We went through a lot together. I know you didn't enjoy car rides at first, but you eventually became my riding partner on long trips, and I enjoyed shelling the sunflower seeds for you to eat. You lived a long life.
Remember that vet I took you to when you were a puppy who said you would never live through the night but I took you home and took care of you on my own? I'm so glad I made it a point to hug and kiss you every time I had to go to work. You had a long happy life and passed away among friends. Take care of yourself. I love you..........

Lori Okada

Cornflake,

You were a determined, active, funny, friendly little mouse. You were always ready to try something new and to snuggle in someone's lap. You and Peaches protected each other and played together. We will all miss you. But we will meet you again someday. You are up with Raspberry...waiting. We will all meet again someday.

Christina and Peaches and Family

Corpy, this is a tribute to you- our darling little boy. We love you to no end with our entire hearts and souls. We will miss you every second of every day until death takes us and we can be with you again. Love, Mommy & Daddy.

Cosmo,

You have been such a light and a joy and a wonderful companion, and we miss you deeply. I miss you lying on the bed with me, barking in excitement for a walk, listening to us attentively hoping to hear one of your favorite words. It is my heartfelt prayer that we will one day see each other again. We love you so much, Cosmo...

Dearest Cotty, its been a really long time now since you passed away. But you know I still think of you all of the time. You were my first dog - and I will always remember you no matter how many pets come along in my life time. You were a best friend to me when I was a happy, sad, upset or sick. You were the best dog anyone could ask for. I love you cotton dog - forever and always.

Love forever,

Re Re

Cotton was a very special & beautiful companion. He was always there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on. He loved me unconditionally. I miss him every minute of every day.

Robbin

Cotton was my baby and will forever be. I loved her like she was my child. Cotton I will see you again someday. I love you so so so much!!!

Melissa Beverly

Cotton,

You were, and still are, an important part of my life. I'll never stop thinking of you and will feel your presence everyday until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge. Love, Mom

Cotton was a special girl, a deaf red merle Australian Shepherd from strong working (herding) lines. She has 13 Working Trial Champions in her pedigree, including both sire and dam. Excess white/lack of pigmentation on her head caused the deafness, but she was NOT from a merle-to-merle breeding (which can cause multiple birth defects in about 25% of offspring of such breedings.) I rescued her when the breeders planned to have the deaf puppy euthanized. Cotton never believed that she was missing anything, and lived life to the fullest.

A freak accident caused her spinal column to compress, and a vertebra was pushed up over the one behind, severing or shredding the spinal cord. With less than 1% chance of recovery, and due to the pain she was experiencing, I had to send Cotton to the Bridge. We had a wonderful 18 months together in her short life, which has ended so suddenly. She taught me that deaf dogs have normal lives, and you don't have to be an expert to learn to communicate and work with a deaf dog. I miss you, Cotton!

He was a dear friend that was my constant buddy. I will miss him very much.

Clareen Wimmer

For my baby bun, the smallest of three triplets.
She didn't even tell me she was ill, and I can read most bunny signs when they are.

Keith Webb

Cougar was a wild kitty that we brought home at 9 months. He adjusted well, and became the most loving and grateful cat in the family. He had severe allergies most of his life and was put through several food changes, large doses of steroids, and finally, a blood allergy test that showed he was mainly allergic to cat and dog dander. He began hyposensitization shots and was fine for about a year. He was then diagnosed with eosinophilic complex, a blood disorder. We chose to bombard his system with steroids to make him as comfortable as possible until the end. The steroids shots went from once a month to him needing it every week in a few short months. He was diagnosed in April and in June, we sent him to the Bridge. We miss him very much, he used to give us hugs, and was a very sweet kitty. The life expectancy for this terrible disease is 3-5 years and he went at 4. At least now we know he is whole and healthy, not always itchy. We will see him again, until then, I hope he plays to his heart's content with all the other inhabitants of the Rainbow Bridge.

I love you Cowboy! And I wish I had more time to spend with you! You were the best Birthday present ever! It was just so tragic to me that you left so soon and so young! But you had all that your little sweet heart could take! I can't wait until we can cross the bridge together someday! Please don't forget me and I will never forget you!
I Luv U,

I got to pick out my pet bunny Cozy as a birthday gift and can honestly say that he is the best gift I have ever gotten. He lived to be almost seven. He was so fun to be with and also very cuddly. I miss him terribly but am thankful for the time we were together. He taught me how special bunnies are. They are gentle, innocent, beautiful, thoughtful and affectionate animals. He was my little friend, true love and soul mate and I thank him. I will always miss and love my Cozy bunny.

Tribute to Crabby,

Each day of your short wonderful life you were so greatly loved by us. We miss you so much! I would give anything to be able to give your caramel colored nose a kiss and see you galloping up the stairs to come home. We love you.
Mom and Dad

To such a little man with a big heart
One so big, for such a small space.
It could not be held within your small frame
I will not ever forget your name.
Over the bridge you walk side by side
With a loving grandmother I lost too soon,
So big are your hearts, with a whole lot of room.
I love you Crash!

Torey Stewart

Dearest Crawl, we're so sorry this happened. We'll not let your death be in vain. You rest now. We love you.

Mike & Deb Wertz

A friend to all

Pauline Slippey

Creamy, I miss you terribly. I wish you didn't have to go but I am happy to know that you are no longer in pain and that you are in a better place than I could ever have provided for you. I know that we will meet again someday.
I wish that I could have been a better caretaker to you. And I promise I will be take care of Sadie the best I can and if I can't, I will find the best home possible for her where she will be happy.
I miss you.
I love you.

Larry Magtoto

Run swiftly at the Bridge with Cressie, your mom, my precious Shadow. It was only 16 months ago that she went there. Now she has greeted you and you are both out of those wretched bodies that held your beautiful spirits captive. Now your spirits are free and soaring with angels wings. May God keep you both together, free, and happy until we meet again. You are my special, sweet boy and I love you!

Your grieving family,
Trella - also Aaron, Phil, and Theresa

I want the world to know how much I loved my companion, friend and best buddy, Cricket. I had the honor of caring for her for 16 1/2 years. I had to put her down yesterday because of illness and advanced age. I chose not to put all kinds of meds in her little body. I love her and I know she loved me. I take comfort in knowing she is at Rainbow Bridge and I will see her again someday. Until then, my heart will always grieve for her. I miss her more than words can say.

Julie

My sweet, sweet Cricket. You came into our lives to be a friend to Merlin and what a friend you were! You came into our hearts and stayed. You will be there forever. I will miss waking up at 3:00 in the morning to the sounds of your construction projects. I'll miss the way you jumped up and ran to me when I called your name, looking for a yummy treat but settling for hugs and kisses. Merlin is sad and alone but we will take good care of him until we are all together again. I love you little girl. Sleep well my darling bunny. If tears could bring you back you would be here now.

Rebecca Donley

My Cricket was the very best dog that ever was. She was so very very special. I still have a hole in my heart since she left me almost three years ago. There will never be another dog like my little Cricket. She was always so happy. She loved everyone. When she left me, she gave me one last gift. She passed away at home. I did not have to end her life. I don't think I could have done it, so Cricket took it out of my hands. She was so very "Special".
I will see her again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Juanita Besso

To Cricket, the world's sweetest dog...I will always love you, but never as much as you loved me.

Elaina and Michael Moore-Kelly

A special tribute for Cricket and Lori. A special dog and a special owner. You have good memories of fun times with your baby. God bless you and help you with your loss.

Nori

She was a very wonderful and special dog.

Kurtzman Family

Cricket, Though we only had you a short time, you will never be forgotten! God bless you.

Trent & Cathy

Crickett was a very special girl to our family. She came to live in our home after my grandmother passed away two years ago. She was very shy and unfriendly when she came to live with us but all that was soon to change. With the help of a very outgoing family she became a very loveable and friendly little friend. I believe in my heart that she and my grandmother are together again in a very special place. We love you Crickett!

Sheila Frost

Cricky was a funny kitty, she always saw things that nobody else could see. I believe she was a gifted kitty that was given the gift to see her friends that had gone to Rainbow Bridge before her. We miss her and want her to be at peace now and forever more.
Your Family loves you and misses you.

Arlene Mangram

Greatly missed but never forgotten!!

Betty Haen

It's been a year, Crosby. We still miss you and think of you each day. We often hear you and that brings back a fond memory of times gone by. Daddy will be there someday to play ball again.

Larry Walker

In memory of a very special cat that brought us years of happiness. We pray that you are no longer in pain. We miss you so very much - you were the light that started each day for us and the hurt is unbearable without you. You are always in our thoughts - we love you.

Tom and Barb Fritz

Goodbye my baby. Mommy loves you.

In memory of our Crystal who entered our lives briefly but touched our hearts for eternity.

Diana and Wendy
Partnership for Animal Welfare

Crystal was my beautiful little princess. How lucky we were to find her after someone had abandoned her out by Lake Nicasio. She was my baby, my cuddle bug. I miss her so much.

Patricia Ribbel

Crystal - you were my little girl. I loved you with all my heart. I hope your last days were not too painful. I tried everything I could to save you. I hope one day my thoughts will turn happy again when I think of you. Right now all I can think of is the end and how you looked when I picked you up in my arms. Very few can understand the pain I feel right now. It seems like your loss is immense in my life. I am very sorry that I didn't spend as much time with you these last few years as we did in the beginning. It was stupid on my part. You know Dudley wanted all of my attention and I gave it to him. I thought you would be around a lot longer than you were. I thought we would be able to enjoy your old age together. I just hope you forgave me. I tried to make it up to you these last few months while you were sick. We all miss you girl. I hope you know you will always be my little girl. Goodbye

Crystal, Clover is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. Fly away home, sweet finch, and take my love with you.

Robin Schindler

May my beloved best friend, Crystal, be blessed by God's love. It was a privilege to have owned you.

You will always remain in my heart.

Maria Rodriguez

Blue we love and miss you so very much and you will NEVER be forgotten nor replaced in our hearts. You will ALWAYS HOLD A VERY SPECIAL PLACE in our lives and our hearts.

You are so very special. You have so much personality with lots of love to share with everyone who you came across. You are so very gentle with children and would never harm them. You guarded Randy with such care and love. You never forgot to miss him when he was gone. You never forgot to say "Thank You" when you were feed each day. At 16 years of age, you still would take the time to play. And no matter what or how you felt, you'd want to take your daily walk..... You would walk with such stride on this here mountain. This mountain is yours and yours alone... No One, nor No Other Pet Would Take That Away... Blue, once I was told that you are a Legend here on this mountain, now I know you really are... On this day August 11, 2000, I have renamed this mountain From Shannondale, To "Blue's Mountain", and "Blue Mountain" it will stay !!!

Your Daddy loves you very much, his heart aches, but that soon will pass. Just because he can't see you and give you your hugs. But someday, he will understand that God needed you. Your job here was done. You took such care of your Daddy. You were always there when he needed you, to get him going on the days he was sad.... You were always so faithful and loyal. You never let him down. By his side you were, day in, and day out to give him the love and friendship he need until the end.

Please, give him a sign that you are safe... He's just a little scared and needs to know in his heart that you are all right !! It's been Daddy and Blue for so many years and it will take sometime for the pain to lessen this I know, but I will keep telling him that you are safe and in great hands now... You are still here in our hearts and will never be gone, because your sprit and legend will live long after we are gone....

So in our hearts you will stay.... And soon we will be there to meet you at the Rainbow Bridge, we will call you name and you will come running, and soon it will be ......
Daddy and Blue once again !!!!

We Love and Miss so much... You will be in our Hearts and Thoughts with every passing Day !!!
We Love {{{{{BLUE}}}}},
Mommy, Daddy, Randy, Thumper, Marueen, and Tom

It is hard to put into words what I feel for you my special little friend Mugsy. You brought so much joy to our lives in the short time you were here with us. The last photo I have of you was on New Year's Day shortly after it turned the year 2000. The picture kind of sums up the love that was shared with you. My son sleeping on the floor head on a pillow and you, Mugsy, curled up sleeping on the other side. My son truly believed you would make him feel better and heal him and you did. You comforted him during his recovery from his brain injury and you were there when he was sick with a cold. We shared many a cheese pizza together my beloved friend. You took care of us and protected us even though you were only a little fellow. Your heart was big as a mountain. My heart aches for you my beloved Mugsy. We will never forget you.

I know you are watching over us and are at Rainbow Bridge. You have no pain. I know this but it doesn't make my heart hurt any less right now.

We know how much you loved us.

Love,

Mom, Dad, Your boy, and Your girl

Cubby lost his life tonight to Feline Leukemia. He was very much loved in our family and shared a close bond with my parents and brother. Although he was only in our family for a short time he touched our lives in a way that we will always remember. We know he is in a better place where he is not suffering and in God's hands.
Thanks,

My Dear Sweet Beautiful Little Cuda: I can't believe you are gone. You are my Life, Cudes. You are my World. I don't know how Me and Vira will go on without you; life seems so meaningless without you to hold, to smell, to KISS. You, My Little Precious Angel, were the most courageous, bravest, most dainty Pit Bull in the Universe.

You taught Vira how to Guard the Territorial Beings of Love. She will now do it without you; though we know you are watching over us and protecting us from above. My Little Pun'kin-butt, I love you more than Life itself. Remember what I told you when you are passing on, Cudes: "Mind-to-Mind, I will always know what you are thinking -- and you, me." Though I can't touch you, I still feel you.

I carried you everywhere the last 2 1/2 years; and I loved every minute of it. You became paralyzed on July 17, 1997. You never minded -- just figured "Whatever, Mommy will have to carry me now (heheheh/hahahah)." Me and You have such a special bond, no one will ever take that anyway from us.

Thank you My Love for devoting your Life to me and Vira, for giving us happiness, protection, love. You will never be forgotten by anyone. You touched everyone's lives around you Baby; people that never met you, Love You.

You gave me such a special gift when you passed on; You know what I mean, Cuda. I will never forget that day, 10/29/99. You were so wonderful the way you left; you were buried in my chest, looking at me, listening, kissing me until that last heart beat. You gave me an inner-peace that I will be thankful for forever Cuda.

I love you my Dear. May you Rest In Peace with your Grandpa. Me & Vira will be okay, knowing that you are watching over us, we will be okay. Though this is the most horrible time in my Life, I know I must be strong and take care of Vira.

I love you infinite, Cuda. Thank you, again, for 13 years, 1 month, 8 days of the best time of my Life.

God Bless You Princess.

Mommy & Vira Mandell

I hope you are where it is perpetual summer, no cage and other people and piggies to play with you.
We will always miss you, forever and always. You were our "Ray of light" In times of hardness!
I wish we could have done more you. I'm glad that you were able to spend the last minutes of your life in my arms, where you were loved most! kisses kisses my little cadeaux!

Tamarah and Trevor

I'm very sorry little one, sorry you never had a chance. I feel so bad for you and it hurts me, because I loved you so, I'll never have your sweet little eyes looking at me or your playfulness, I've buried you with all your little toys, cuddles I'm so sorry what my son has done, if only I won't have taken a shower yet or if I would've let my son stay the nite out then you would have never met your death under the chair, I'm sorry

He was a gentle friend.

A Tribute To My Loving Cuddles

I sit here today feeling so sad
Thinking of the good years we had
You brought such joy into my world
Cuddles you were my little baby girl

I remember the cute things you use to do
How I couldn't wait to get home to you
You were so loyal and protective of me
My little sergeant of arms yet my loving baby

I thank God for the wonderful years we had together
But you suddenly were taken from me but not forever
For now we must physically be apart
But Cuddles you will forever be in my heart

I know you are now strong and well again
No more pain..falling over while walkin
Now in my mind when I see you fall
It's into God's hands there you stand tall

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
Cuddles..your mommy's heart is broken into
You know..you were the apple of my eye
But we'll meet again in that sweet bye and bye

I know you're my angel watching over me
I can see you playing and you look so happy
Yes one day we will once again be together
And when we are it will be for always and forever

You Are Always On My Mind...And In My Prayers....But Forever In My Heart!
Cuddles...I really miss you a lot!

Our love is with you always

The Sharretts Family

To my best friend... An incredible canine that blessed my life for 14.5 years. I feel honored to have the pleasure of meeting such a beautiful creature.

You've seen me through my best and worst times.

I still remember clearly the first day I met you.

To my roommate, my buddy, my dog Cuddles.

I love you.

It's going to tough without you!

Cujo was our child, we miss him so much but know we will see him one day. He brought so much joy and love to our lives. For now there is no more pain. He will always be our best buddy.

Keith & Christy Kobielsky

My tribute to my loving dog. Cujo, "aka" pumpkin loved everyone, when strangers came over she thought they were all there for her. She never hurt a single toy preferring to baby them instead. My heart burns with the grief I feel over losing her to cancer. I sometimes wonder how I continue, I somehow wonder if I would be happier with her now. I miss her with such a deepness nothing compares. She was the baby I was the mommy.

In Memory of Cujo 12/21/91 - 04/10/00

I knew you were the one the moment I saw you. You were just 10 weeks old and came into my arms, gave me special kisses and cuddled in my arms immediately. You were such a special dog with a one-of-a-kind personality.

I'm sorry we didn't have more time together, God just decided to give you your wings a bit sooner than we expected he would. You just left us so quick and unexpectedly that I still can't believe you're gone. I miss you greeting me when I come home and think of when we used to go for walks and as soon as you were ready to come in you pulled on the leash and walked yourself the rest of the way home. Even though we used to shake you at nighttime to stop you from snoring, I now miss hearing your loud snores. I know it sounds silly but every night I sleep with your collar under my pillow because it helps me to feel closer to you.

Mommy and daddy are very sorry that we weren't with you during your last minutes but I know you know how very much you were loved. You will always be my "bubby" boy and I will love you forever. Even though I can't have you here with me anymore, you will always be with me in my heart. Someday we will be together again but until then, take care of your new companions at the Rainbow Bridge (play nice and don't bully them too much). When it's time for me to come and be with you, I will look for you and expect those special kisses on my face again.

Love,

Mommy & Daddy

P.S. "Bubby" boy, Shy just joined you yesterday so please give her lots of hugs and kisses, take care of her and tell her that she is loved and missed very much... you both are...

Cupcake---our sweet kitty
You were so roly-poly when we found you, living as a stray.
We had to take you in, and this way, Petunia Ann had company. You were 15 lbs of silliness! After having you only one year, you were diagnosed with Diabetes. We kept our chin up, didn't we, Cuppy? You and Daddy played water games in the sink because your disease made you endlessly thirsty!
Everyone marveled at how good you took your insulin shot every 12 hours. The nurses loved seeing you come in every Monday to check your weight, and give you kisses!
You used to knock everything off our nightstands to wake us up in the wee hours of the morning, and how we laughed everytime we would find you in the tub or trying to get in the fridge everytime we opened the door!
The last month was so hard on you. The last hours on the kitchen counter were the hardest Daddy and I ever had to live through. You were only 7.2 lbs when we had to say good-bye to you! Oh, my Cuppy, I still ache for you! But at least now I know you are 15lbs again, running around in Rainbow Bridge, with St. Francis rubbing your belly!
I am looking forward to seeing your bright eyes once again!
Daddy & I love you forever!

~~~Mary R. Manello

My dear cat, Curby, with whom I spent the last 11 years, passed away peacefully in our home this past Saturday, January 22, 2000. He had been sick for some time with cancerous tumors and hyperthyroid problems, but Curby courageously carried on, rushing up to greet me when I returned home and purring affectionately during his evening petting sessions. Curby taught me the meaning of unconditional love, and for that I am forever grateful. He is gone, but my love for him remains forever in my heart.

Alka Chandna

This was the most special little bird that ever came into our lives. He gave us so much love and joy in his short little life. He was the love of our lives. We miss him terribly.
He was born a special needs bird but that never got him down. He gave us so much inspiration and joy. He would run around and and play and have so much fun that he didn't even know anything was wrong with him. Everyone that saw him feel in love with him. Thank you my special angel sent from heaven above for teaching your mom and dad to have the passion for life that you showed all through your short little life. We miss you terribly and will always hold a special place in our hearts for our little angel.

Reggie

To My "Little Man"

Life with you was so short; you came into my life being the first dwarf I had ever known. You were so small and cute and always acted like you had somewhere to go. After we first brought you home and you adjusted to your home, I would come to your cage and make sure you were okay. You would come to the door too, and put your tiny feet on the bars in a standing position looking at me as if too say, "So what are you looking at". It seemed to go on that way for sometime, so I guess we were both curious of each other. Your spunkiness and antics captured my heart. You always had many ways of catching my attention. After waking up and cleaning and eating, you would start your everyday ritual, you would run in your wheel and then charge up the ladder, look out the door, back down the ladder into your wheel, back out, and up the ladder, and sit there and look out. I know now that you were waiting for me to come to the door to open it. Then I would put your cup in your cage and you would eagerly jump into it, waiting to see were I would bring you, if it was to just play in your ball or play in my hands, maybe your big play box! It didn't seem to matter to you; you seemed to just love the attention! When you were in your cup, you would stand up as big as you can and I would always say to you "How's my Little Man". You were so small, but yet so proud. I will miss my "Little Man", but you weren't so little as you had a big impact on my heart. Good Bye my "Little Man".

I would like to thank everyone for the their messages of sympathy. It seems hard, as this is the first experience of a loss of a hammy friend. Having diabetes made it seem harder, we tried many different ways to help him with writing letters, asking vets, talking to people, about ways to help him with the control of his diabetes and making sure he had the right diet. His time with us was short and taken away so quick and unexpected.

So again thanks to you all for your messages.

Marlene Gerry, Toby, Brandy, Strawberry, Blackie, and Ruby (The Syrians) "Curly , Larry & Moe" and the Munchkin (The Dwarves) Misty (The Cat)

Curly was a tiny gray tiger striped cat, he was a few months old when we got him terrified of people because the little girl who had him was very abusive to him, but in time he became a very loving cat. Curly kept to himself but once in a great while he'd play with the other cats. I remember most he'd come up on the arm of the couch and nudge you to pet him he loved your affection in his own way. Curly would not leave table food alone and demised from kidney failure. Curly we miss you terribly!!!!

The Everts

To My Sweet Angel Curtis,

I miss you so much since you were gone. You have been a great friend and a wonderful companion. You've shown me love and courage I never knew I had.
I love you so very much and it's very hard to go to sleep at night without you. I hope you are happy, healthy and comfortable. We will definitely see each other again at the Rainbow Bridge. I love you, my sweet angel.

Love

Mom

Cyclops Kitty...
May you be in a safer and happier place. You were our official shop "kitty" greeting all who entered, and finally winning over even the "tough guys". There are many kitties at the Rainbow Bridge who will be greeting you and showing you around. Life will be easier, and you will have a proper home, safe places to play, and fresh food and water always. You will have sight in both eyes once again, and all will be well... Run and play, as you were meant to do, and be free...
Love and Tummy Rubs... Donna, Arie, Bob, Alf, Mike and Jo

My Darling Little Girl...

You stood by my side through so much. You kept me going and gave me a reason to live.
Permission to love you was a gift that I'll never forget.

You were my guardian angel here on earth, and you did your job so well.

Our last days together were so so special.
I could feel you drifting away
but you hung on for long enough for us to have our special talks, cuddles and pig outs on naughty food.

I hope, that helping you to make your journey is something you understand I did out of my overwhelming love for you.

Not a day will go by that I won't think of you happy, healthy, running a round that beautiful special field.
Have a good bark darling. Chase those cats and hassle those big dogs.
And when you see a little yellow daisy and are reminded of our time, don't think of the sadness,
instead think of the fun we had in our special time together, as I will do.

And some day, you'll turn around and I'll be there ready to play a game of fluffies or tag and waiting for a smile, a kiss and big cuddle.
Till then know I'll love you forever and live my life for you.

What will I do without you? My dear dear girl.

forever my angel.

your mum Sarah & all

Cyndi was a unique cat. She was a great friend and very beloved too. We loved her and she loved us. We are missing her very deeply. We were there with her while she passed away.

FOR CYNTHIA
Circling to settle in the crook of my arm
Yet purring loudly just to sit
Near her mommy who loves her dearly,
The purr now explodes into a
Hum to wake my bedmate.
I beg to wait till she falls asleep
Aside me, both of us content.

I love you Cynthia girl...

Cyril came to me as a foundling, who had been lost from his mother's nest. Although many people would consider a squirrel to be a wild animal and would not approve of it being a pet, Cyril was an affectionate pet who loved playing games and being petted and cuddled.
His passing was unexpected, after a brief illness, and he seemed peaceful if a bit perplexed.
I know I will never have another squirrel as a pet, but whenever I see them cavorting outside, I will think, "If only you poor wild ones knew how much you would love being snuggled and loved."

Cindy Ellen Morgan

We Miss you lots DOG !!!!!

Jeremy Emyl Mom Dad

Czonk was a very affectionate and loving dog. In 14 years he never had even tried to bite anyone ( unless he was playing). He was such a joy to our family and we all loved him dearly. He was a great loss. He lost a leg chasing cats, but it never affected his disposition.
