Ceremony Tributes
My dear dog Pablo was only 2 years old. His death was caused by a misdiagnosis from an inexperienced veterinarian. I'm so very sorry for the unnecessary pain that he went through. I will never fill the place in my heart that belonged to him. Pablo was a loyal, beautiful and loving dog. If dogs do have a sense of humor, I do believe that he had one. He always put a smile on my face and always did the goofiest things to make me laugh. He will never be replaced in my life and in my heart. I miss him so much and hope when I leave this great earth I will be reunited with his warm licks and his wiggling bum. Until then, I will think of him everyday and know how much I loved him. Bye - DOO DOO.
Tracey Depp
I'm sorry, Paco! I loved you, and I miss you.
Stephanie Panas
Paco: Since you've left, I've been very sad. There's a hole where my heart once was. You were my best friend. You'd stay up late with me when I couldn't sleep, you could put a smile on my face just by running across the room. Paco-balaka, you're the most gorgeous cat ever put on this earth, and I'm grateful you chose to spend your time on this earth with me and Jessie. I will always love you. I can't wait to see you again.
Kelly Keith
The day we held you for the first time will be as remembered
as that day we said goodbye.
My friend, my pal. I'll always think of you everytime I see the squirrels
I'll think of you.
Dave and Cindy Sneed
Together we shared the best of times. A truer friend and companion I will never know. You were then at my waking and my sleeping, my laughing, my crying and now you have gone a cloud has covered the sun. I hope you now enjoy eternity chasing sticks, swimming and enjoying good rolls in the grass. I miss you with all my heart, so long puppy.
David Farley
Our beautiful, beautiful, boy. You only shared your life with us for a year, but what a year it was. No cat could ever have brought more joy into our lives and now that you are gone it feels as though the hurt will never heal.
Sleep peacefully, our beautiful Padsy-Boy, and wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge. We couldn't love you more.
Jayne Ireland and Billy Smith
Pancho, I love you very much. I think of you every day and will never, never forget you. You were the best dog in the whole world. No-one will ever replace you.
You were so naughty, but so cute. I wouldn't have had you any other way. Even the vet, who sees so many dogs, said you were a special Chihuahua with a very saucy personality. The University vet said the same thing.
Pancho, I don't know if I did the right thing by having you euthanased. I feel so guilty, but you were so sick and the vets doubted that you were going to get better. Pancho, if there is any way you can send me a sign from Heaven to let me know you forgive me, and that you are alright, please try.
I miss you Pancho.
Lynne Williams
We are going to miss our dear Pancho who bravely fought
liver disease until the end. He is already missed by his natural feline
parents, Amber and Khunda kock, his natural twin brother Lefty, his natural
brother Raul, his natural sister ZigZag, his step-sister Munchkin and his
new adopted canine sister BronteSawrus the Irish wolfhound. He was a great
friend, a cat who could keep a secret, who loved to purr in your ear while
you were sleeping and who made a significant decline in the mouse population
at the cottage. Rest well little buddy till we meet on the other side.
With much love from your humans, Marilyn and Bob.
Panda was the sweetest cat I have ever known. No matter what was going on in our lives, she was there to give a nudge of support. No matter where we moved, or how our lives changed, she never seemed to complain or act in ways cats usually do to show displeasure. I have had several cats in my life, but none showed the love and compassion of Panda. She was diagnosed with feline leukemia and with God's help was brought back from the brink 8 years ago. She miraculously recovered enough to appear healthy until a few weeks ago. She struggled with all her will to stay with us. She fought it to the end. We love her so much. We miss her. We will never forget Panda. I pray we will one day be together again. Whenever I need perseverance and undying love, I will always think of her.
Karen
Panda, Mommy loves you, see you at the bridge. My lil Angel girl, Love from us still on earth.
Billie
Dear Panda, It's been almost 6 years since you went to the bridge and I miss you as much today as the day you left. You really are our little angel now. You have two sisters that you would love, I have them because "you" taught me how to love. You were always there for mommy. I had so much pain when you left, but your pain was over my baby. You were always there for me as I tried to be for you. Thank you for sending daddy and I your 2 sisters. One day we'll all be together at "The Rainbow Bridge". For now, I love you my sweet little angel. Love, Mommy and Daddy"
Billie Danford
She was my familiar, she was my best friend. I miss her so much.
Patricia Axelrod
Before my cat passed I did not value my pet, but now I realize that a cat (any pet) can be your companion and becomes a member of your family.
Jacqueline Clay
It will be difficult to sleep at night without you hunting for my wiggling toes giving me love-nips to get petted. But when I think about how you sat on the window bench to see birds and tried to sneak out of the room to check out rest of the house, I feel something warm in my chest. I cannot groom you with slicker brush or scratch your chin to hear you purr right now but I know I will see you again.
Chiaki Inomata
What can one say about a pet that invented the word "unconditional
love?"
How do you go on when you still her little pitter-patter noises and see
her toys strewn around and the special bowls she ate out of, even the litter
box? How does one get over the deepest love you ever had because it was
so very unconditional. They say time will heal but right now I don't feel
like healing, I just want my ParPar back. Selfish, she was suffering, but
the pain is a pain that feels it will never heal no matter how hard I pray.
Karen and Children
Dear God,
I know you have so much on your agenda already,
But I hope you night make time to listen to a servant girl with a broken
heart.
No, I didn't lose my husband or my beautiful son, or anything like that,
In fact, I am only bothering you about a small dark-colored feliness,
With tan splotches randomly painted all about her soft fur,
That rattled when her chest was happily purring.
She had four tiny china girl feet,
And small tiger claws for catching the pests in my garden every year...
Her eyes were big and brown,
And they always had such a childlike mirth in them that none of the others
could match.
She did love to be alive, more than any of your creatures I have seen so
far,
And I will never forget that you are the One who made her,
...never forget the day I held her wet little kitten body the day she was
born, almost four years to this day.
She was so beautiful, she always ran to me with a joyful cry,
She would trot so fast, never gallop,
And roll over to show me her tummy.
She was my favorite.
So sexy was she, that all the boys chased her around, even after she was
fixed,
And I remember how she so loved to play hunting games.
But most of all, I will never forget how
She just loved to skip around in the wet grass,
On a cold rainy day.
She would hop in the bedroom window where her brothers were sleeping,
And shake the droplets off her coat,
And when I tried to get her to stay and cuddle,
She would jump back out for more.
Oh God, tonight, I am laying awake in my bed,
With one less soul sleeping at my feet.
I keep thinking how she rubbed my hand and cried, just once, on the way
to the hospital,
And how the vet brought her back to me saying "she is trying to die..."
And I cried and held her in my arms as the last heartbeat went...
Oh God, we stood together, me, the lady vet and one small insignificant
creature,
In a room, in a city, on a late Friday night,
The drunks and drug addicts partying just outside the door.
I took my little girl's limp body home,
And we buried her in the backyard in her favorite spot,
Near the fence,
In the long grass,
In view of the wild bird feeder,
We gave her back to the earth You took her from,
And I wondered if you cared, God.
Hurt as much as I did.
Hurt when a sparrow fell,
In this fast and evil world full of diabolical machinery,
How long, God, until you tear down the streets and bring back the miles
of endless meadow,
Where our creatures and children can play and never worry ?
Well, that is about all I wanted to say, God.
I guess I will have to let her go but maybe you could just
Remember her
Just for a moment....
amen

My little Pastel died from CRF she was a unique little girl who used the toilet like a person does, she will never be replaced or forgotten.
Linda Humphrey
Pat the Parrot flew into our lives on St. Patrick's Day, 1996. He adopted us, and we had him for one year and four months. He brought such joy to our lives. He reminded us how to laugh, and how to cry. We will miss him always.
Rose
In memory of our loyal and kind friend, Patch, who always
gave more than she took. She will never be forgotten nor replaced. Although
she was only on this earth 3 short years.
She gave all the love she had and was a constant companion.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
We miss you Patchy Gold.
Don and Sherri Bush
Dear Little Patches,
You were always such a shy dog. You were our creepy-crapper!
Our barking garage door, our guardian and our friend.
We will miss you deeply. You gave us 13 years of friendship that we will
not forget.
We were your toys, herding us in the yard. I will miss your afternoon stretch
and jaunt in the yard.
We love you and will miss you.
Mary Mahey
Patches when you came to me you were alone and afraid!!
I remember how the other cats use to pick on you, then one day after many
days of taking you in my room with me you came out and they all greeted
you with such joy at seeing you!!
You were a part of our family for a long time and we will truely Miss you!!
Take Care Old Friend!! The Country Bumpkins..
Vi Potter
In loving memory of Patches 8/19/97
Patches, when you came to me, you were so thin and had wounds on your tail
and body. I gave you love and care and you flourished into a beautiful
loving cat. You gave back so much love, dear Patches.
You like sitting on mommy' lap. arms stretched to mommy's neck, kneading
on her neck, purring so loud and sounding like a motorboat.
You like snuggling under the covers, lying next to mommy, your head on
her am, and licking her nose.
In the morning, you would be the first one to wake mommy, by laying on
her and kneading her neck.
I woke up this morning, the day after your passing, and missed your warm
purring body and started to cry.
Patches my darling kitty, I know you are in a far better place and that
you are not in pain.
I miss you sweet cat, til we meet again,
All my love, mommy
Diane K
We miss him so very, very much. He was such an important part of our lives. Patches we love you.
Anna Adams
Our Patches gave us five years of love and devotion. We will always love her and keep her in our memories. When the time comes for us to cross the Rainbow Bridge, our Patches will meet us and we will be together again. Our hearts ache for her until then.
George and Donna Emerle
Patches was the most affectionate cat we have ever been owned by. He greatly disliked the vet's office and often hissed and tried to bite the vet during exams. But at home, Patches was the kind of cat who loved to be cuddled, hugged, petted, and fussed over. He never disapproved of being picked up to be pet. We will always miss him very much.
Barbara Hoggard
It's hard for me to really put into words how badly I miss Patches and how much she meant to me. She was an incredibly beautiful calico and was completely beautiful on the inside as well. Just to watch her move could put you in awe. She was amazingly intelligent and did things that I still can't believe she did. She was also able to make you see the fun of life that we all seem to forget at times. She was my best friend growing up and I'll be forever grateful for the twelve years I had her in my life. I just hope this empty hole in my heart will get less painful with time. I will never forget her and all those precious memories she's created for me and she'll remain right here in my heart always.

To Patches Marie
Our beloved "catbit"
Gone but not forgotten
Sandi Pantalon
Patch came to our house as a stray in the fall of 1982
and my dad adopted him and took him home to his house. Patch lived with
my dad and Freckles ( a cat my dad had adopted in the spring of '82 ).
Freckles and Patch took to each other immediately and spent the next 4
years providing alot of love and entertainment to my widowed dad. My dad
passed away in the fall of '86 and the 'boys' came to live with us . Freckles
grieved himself to death by February of '87 and since none of our cats
had accepted Patch , he was very lonely. In October of '87 we adopted a
little white ball of fluff with one blue eye and one brown eye . We named
him Princeton and he became Patches very own kitty. Princeton and Patch
played and loved one another until Prince died this past July. Poor old
Patch just seemed to give up . He quit caring if he was well groomed .
His catnip and toys did not interest him anymore. He was so very lonely.
We would like to think that Patch and Freckles and Prince are having a
rip-roaring time now and that my dad is smoking his pipe and chuckling
at their antics. We sure hope to see them all again someday, along with
all the others I/we have loved through the years, at the rainbow bridge.
May you rest in peace dear Patch and know that in our memory you will live
forever.
Love you and miss you , Darrell and Becky
Patchie or P-Man as I called him, was a very special cat. He was just so gentle and always accepted the strays that I brought home and became daddy "patch" to all of them. December 26, 1996, we discovered that Patchie had lymphosarcoma and he also tested positive for FIV. I work for a vet and on March 27, 1997 with the morning staff with him, "we" put Patchie to sleep so he would not suffer any more. He was the best!
Isabelle Connor
In order to understand Patchie, you would have to understand his life. He was truly a brave soul. A lot of Humans would have been defeated if they had his problems, unable to endure. My buddy, my best friend, my pal, has passed away and the following is an tribute to his struggle in life. If I could have any day back in my life, even just one, it would have to be the day Patchie picked me out at the pound.
When he was less than a year old, he broke his front leg. He wore his cast without complaint and looked up at you with those sad brown eyes that said "Forgive me if I bop you with my cast...I'm just happy to see you"
By the time he was three, he had two operations for knee problems. At five, in the winter, he slid on a patch of ice and ended up going through a sliding glass door. Brought to an animal emergency clinic, and was stitched up without complaint and, happy to return home. At seven, he had two tumors removed from his back and neck. By the age of 10, he had Megaesphagus. At the age of 12, Canine meningitis. And last and worse, at a little over 13, Canine Renal Failure, a illness he just couldn't defeat.
His entire life was a battle. Against all odds, he was a happy, loving friend. Not only did he offer his trust, he offered unconditional love. He will truly be missed every waking day of my life.
God Bless Him.
Reesa
My best friend...I miss you more everyday.
Sharon
Goodbye for now my best friend. Thank you for finding
me.
My life is forever changed because of your unconditional love. GOD bless
you DollBaby!
Sierra Brewi
Dear God -- Please take care of him until I get there
Jan Todd
He was the most gentle being on the face of the earth.
Trusting, kind, and loving - he never met another dog he didn't like and
want to play with. I'm sorry I couldn't be there at the end, but Mom is
the strong one here. Nothing can take your place. Love You, Boy.
Jai and Larry Celic
Peachie was an orphan - abandoned. From the minute she came into my life, I knew that she was special! I gave her a good home, loved her dearly, and soon realized that she was with me for a reason. Peachie was an angel, sent from above to watch over me. God has called her back now, perhaps to be an angel to someone else in need - but she will never be absent from my heart!
Maureen Stewart
Fuzz was my best friend for the 8 years I had her. She was always there when I needed a friend. She died today around 3:00 PM and that part that really hurts is she has to live with my parents do to the fact we can't have her where we live, so I had to miss the last 2 years of her life. I did spend the weekend with her and when I got the call today telling me she was gone, it take a big part of my heart away. I know she is in a better place now. I know God is looking after her, but I sure do love her.
Robb Rouse
Peanut was the love of my life for 11 years. I named her
so as when I found her abandoned at the market she was so tiny, and I told
her that she looked like a "little peanut" whereas she licked
me and meowed! therefore the name just sort of stuck with her.
I will miss you so much Peanut, your unconditional love and the way that
you always managed to lay down on top of what I was working on...especially
the way that you loved to sit right in front of my monitor and the purring
that never stopped!
Please be happy at the Bridge and know that you will always be in my heart...from
your mother
Vicky De Angelis
Dear Peanut,
Mommy will always love you. I promise that one day Mommy will come get you at the Rainbow Bridge and then we'll be together forever. Thank you for being my kitty and making me so happy. I love you.
Mommy

We love you and miss you so very much
What a precious gift you were
You gave us such joy and happiness
Thank you for sharing your life with us
And so you begin your journey

We'll see you again one day
Always remember, we love you
Mommy, Daddy, Skippy, Frosty, Misty, Weezer
Peanut:
You were the light of my life! You taught me to love, and alas, to know
a broken heart.
You will always be loved.
Tim Parkinson
Dear Peanut (AKA Peanutterbutter AKA Biggest.) You were just three months old when I picked you up off the street in front of school. You curled up into my lap and ended up in my heart. The three dachshunds adopted you as a sister, and I was always so impressed with how well you played with them at their level and strength. Ruby tried her best to keep you clean, sure there was a dachshund under there someplace. I don't know what happened, that you attacked Ruby and left her with major holes in her head. Toughest decision I've ever had to make, to ease you so early to the Rainbow Bridge. Hope you've found someone your size to play with, dear, sweet dog. I'll miss your heart and soul, your love and kisses.
Janet Wilson
To my boys - Peanuts and Caleb - At separate times in my life, in your own special ways, you each have given me so much happiness, companionship, security, and most of all, your unconditional love. I hope that I was able to make your short lives as happy, fulfilling and loving. You both taught me well.
So many memories of your own unique personalities, habits, antics, times and things we shared are thought of and cherished quite often. Sometimes with smiles and laughter, sometimes with tears.
But as much as I wanted to, I could not take each of your pains away. So I chose to let you go, to let you both be in peace even though I never wanted to say good-bye.
Yet, I still feel your love. I know that you two are still watching over me, still listening to me. I just wanted to thank both of you so much for all that you gave and continue to give me.
You each took a part of me with you that no one will ever be able to fill; as you each left a part of yourselves with me.
When we meet again, you two will once again fill my arms and we will go for our walks. Until then, I'm sending you both a big hug and a big wet sloppy kiss.
Peanuts - Keep chasing those pheasants. I miss and love you. Caleb - Keep chasing those bushy tails and fluffy tails. I miss and love you.
Mommy

Dear friends, It's been a long time since we've been together and still it seems I await your return. I know you are home in heaven and healthy once again, but yet I want you here with me. My Dutchess, you were the first. I miss you so much. I hope you are happy now that Twiggy and Jorgi are with you again. My Sunny, you have your baby Lady with you once more. I remember how sad Lady was when you left us. My Rosie, my valentine pup, every Valentine's Day I miss you most. You came into my life a puppy stuck in a rose bush when I was 6 yrs. old and left me on Valentine's Day when I was 18.Are you running with Tippy again driving Dutchess crazy? Has Lady learned to howl? I miss her funny voice, I miss all my friends. We had such fun, shared so much love. It hurts so much to be apart. I will never forget or stop loving you babies. You were my friends I miss you still. Love From Your Friend Frieda
Dear P-Bear, after 11 1/2 years together I lost you today.
I will miss you more than you will ever know. Your kids miss you also,
they are just lost w/o you! Thank you dear P for all the late nights and
early mornings you were by my side no matter what the reason. I love you
very much baby. The only reassurance is that I know you are not in pain
and that you are now with T waiting for me!
Love, mom
Will any other tears be shed for my friend? Did her family really love her? She was possibly mistreated and neglected....
a friend who misses her
To Pee-wee:
There is not a day or night that goes by without me thinking
of you.
You were my best friend. There will never be anyone as important to me
human or animal. Even though your name was Pee-Wee your love was as huge
as the whole universe. I miss you very much. I know you're happy and in
no more pain and that's what is most important. May your doggie bowl in
heaven always be filled with steak and haagan-daz, (butter pecan).
I'll Love you always,
Your Mom Phyllis
Pekay,
I remember picking you from the litter as MY kitty 10 years ago. I raised
you and you were my best friend while I was growing up. You were the most
curious kitty I've ever seen. I'll never forget the way you used to "bark"
at squirrels and lie on your back, propelling yourself around the floor
with your toes... and that little drip of water you always had on your
chin after drinking was so adorable! I'll miss you terribly and I think
of you every day.
I love you!
Your mommy, Jill.
Rest in peace our little poggy.
Fran Hunter
Penny was my dearest friend for 14 years. I raised her from a baby at 2 weeks of age. I fed her with a bottle and pushed her little behind up the stairs to "give her a lift." She was always by my side to comfort me: After a severe car accident, after the 1994 California earthquake, when we both almost "bit the dust," and just simply my friend day by day. I did what must be done since she could not win her battle again the cancer inside her body. My grief is so very overwhelming. She was truly a member of my family. We were so close these many years and I know that she would not want me to shed the tears. Good-bye sweet Penny.
Susan Brandt
In His infinite wisdom, God Gives us great joys, sometimes they are many. For whatever reason He chose, He sent us an angel we named Penny. For eighteen years we were blessed, our feeling were grand. The joy and love that she gave us, some will never understand.
We accepted the gift, we gave all of our love to her in return. He added extra years to her life, the extra time we did not spurn. The time finally came, as we knew that it would. God recalled the sweet angel saying, "What you did was quite good."
Our hearts are quite heavy, the tears freely flow, But through all of the sadness our hearts are aglow. She is back in God's hands now, still an angel we know.
Missing you, Mom, Dad, Hobo, Shadow, DeDe, Feathers, Bitsy and Daisy
Glace and Carol Riegel
The best dog ever...we'll always love her.
George and Louise Taylor
Penny was the best cat ever born. We used to talk to each other all the time. She slept with me everyday for 16 years. I miss her very much.
Rene A. Cina
We miss our pal, our buddy, our friend.
Ralph, Priscilla, and Tonia Kliem
In my uncontrollable grief following our loss of our beloved little poodle dog, my brother told me that the measure of the love Pepper gave us is directly reflected in the agony and feelings of loss that we have experienced for the past two days. In that event, it is sufficient to say that Pepper was our world and his love was all-encompassing because the grief is almost unbearable and leaves such a huge hole in our hearts and souls. May God bless us all and may the searing pain of our loss leave us with the most wonderful of memories. Goodbye my little Pepper, I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.
Bobby and Barbara Blair and Holly Schnauzer
For Pepper, my loving companion, my baby boy, my Sweet P. You have brought more joy to my life then you will ever know. You were always there when everyone else had gone. I will miss you. I will love you forever.
Lisa Campisi
Pepper was the best dog anyone could've had. She lived a wonderful life. I'll miss her very much. I will always love her.
Jeremy
Pepper,
Although you couldn't "tell" us what was in your heart, we knew
by your actions that you loved us unconditionally. You will be in our hearts
forever. You were taken from us way too young and our hearts will always
be sad. God knows we miss you so much! Love, your family.
Larry, Robbie, Zach, Weston, and Tanner
Pepper was the dog every child dreams of. She played fetch, hard to get, loved boating, swimming and never seemed to tire. She tolerated being dressed in doll clothes and wheeled around in a doll buggy. She was a year old when my sister Tara was born and she would lay next to the baby and guard her. She watched over all of us. Finally after many years, she grew tired and started to fail. Not wanting her to suffer we gently sent her to the Rainbow Bridge to wait for us. Pepper kisses to you!
Tracy R. Kent-Winter
To my special Pepper, I will miss you dearly. In your all too short life you brought us joy and love. I will forever miss your happy dance of joy. I know you will be waiting for us on the Rainbow Bridge with your look of mischief, thinking, now what can I investigate? Miss you and love you always.
Ann Morris
I enjoyed every moment of his 17 years and I miss him terribly.
Marie Smook
Pepper was the most wonderful gift we ever received. My husband and I always wanted a dog of our own. We had just purchased our first home, we had been there for almost 1 week when the local paper ran a story about 7 dogs who would die that day if the pound couldn't find them a home. I left notes all over the house for my husband to see when he got home from work. He called me and said should I go down and see who they had. I was terrified he would come home with all 7 dogs. Anyway, we decided we wanted a small dog(under 40 lbs). I came home and found Dave with Pepper, a collie mix, about 6-9 months old at 41 lbs. Well, needless to say, a few years later when she tipped the scales at about 80lbs, she was the most wonderful dog we ever had. A true companion and best friend for us both. We took her everywhere and everyone loved Pepper. Pepper was never sick a day in her life. We had 10 1/2 great years with her before she became ill. A blood platelet disease forced us into the hardest decision I ever made in my life. We were with her every minute until she passed into the Rainbow's Bridge, and we never let her suffer for a minute. She was so dedicated to us, she would have endured pain forever. But we realized it was better for her to be whole again. During her last few weeks with us, I would have terrible nightmares that she was suffering. The night she passed on, I saw her in a dream and she was running and jumping and playing with all kinds of animals, she was happy and at peace. I know we made the right decision, and I know she'll be waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. I love you Pepper.
Momma
Pepper was a stray that was pregnant when we found her.
She had 5 wonderful kittens of which 4 went to friends and family members.
The fifth one, Rusty, we kept and the two of them were inseparable. When
Pepper died, Rusty shared our grief. We now have 2 new cat babies from
the animal shelter to help us get over our loss. We are recovering now,
but we will never forget my little girl and hope she is in a good place.
She was a good cat and we loved her.
Gail M. Yongen-VanNatta
He was a good old man that I grew up with since he was a puppy. I visited him and my grandma almost every week and he was always there looking to make me happy. I am 19 now and he is gone but he continues to make me happy with the memories that he left me.
Stephen Kucharski
I miss you so much my little buddy. I loved you more than you will ever know or I ever thought possible. I cannot get that horrible day out of my mind. I keep reliving it over and over again. I wish that there would have been something more I could do. I feel that is my fault for what happened. I just wish I could see you one more time to hold you and tell you what a good boy you were. I know I will see you one day but until then just remember that I love you and I will never forget you.
Dori Marty
I would like to post a note for our family dog we just
lost from cancer. My dad got Peppy as a puppy and took good care of him.
My dad is really hurting now that peppy is gone and so am I. I am trying
to everything I can to help him deal with this great pain.
I sit here typing this letter and crying my eyes out. When does the pain
get better? We miss Peppy soo much would love to have him back. This is
really hard for my dad to deal with because he is a diabetic and he cannot
get too stressed out. I have lost a child in my life and I almost forgot
how great the pain is when someone you love so dearly dies.
How can I help myself and my dad (the whole family) get through this?
If you could respond to this letter I would really like it. Anyone can
respond who has these same feelings that we are going through right now.

God bless you all, and my prayers are with you all as well.

Pepsi was such a sweet little bird.
He had struggled from a baby. When he got over that and weaned
on his own, he was happy and healthy. He was my first and only cockatiel
to talk. His first words were "hello Bongo" (my quaker parakeet),
He then learned to say his name and would often say "hello Pepsi".
I was so excited when I first heard him say "I love you" and
would say it every time I left the house.
I will miss him following Cushu into my bedroom looking for me.
The fighting with Cushu for all the scritches.
He was never mean to any of the other birds.
And loved to give kisses, and would often go into the ever familiar cockatiel
mating call.
I am really going to miss Pepsi. He is my little sweet heart!
I LOVE YOU Pepsi!

Remembering the good things...
His black lips He seemed to genuinely enjoy classical music He had a sweet, shy personality and a quiet meow He craved and enjoyed affection He was a constant and unswerving companion His nicknames, "peppie" and "punkeroos" He would jump up on my lap when I was watching TV

When Percy wandered into our lives nearly 20 years ago, he purred immediately, and always responded this way when we were together. We knew he was getting ready to leave us when that familiar purr finally faded out. And then, so did he. We made the very difficult decision to help him depart gently when we saw that he had overwhelming physical problems. We are grateful to Francie Rubin, Percy's very supportive, knowledgeable and caring veterinarian.

My cat Pete was with my husband and I from the beginning. We went through much together. 2 fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, break-ins. Through it all we had our dear friend Pete. At the end, he was on medicine for asthma, and hyperthyroidism. He succumbed to renal failure and our vet came to our house and put him to sleep on a windy, warm November afternoon. When I hear the wind now, I can hear Pete talking with me. We loved him very much.

Peter, you gave me 20 wonderful years. You were the most
happy, friendly, cuddly cat I've ever known. You woke me every morning
by pawing my eyelids 'til they opened, sat with me wherever I was, and
never stopped purring. That's why I owed it to you to let you go when you
became so unhappy those last few days. You've been with me more than half
my life!
Now you're with your twin brother Paul after 5 years without him. I'll
love you both, always.

Petey I shall miss you for ever. I love you, and can't wait to be reunited with you. I wish I could join you now.

For my Petey Boy- shot by someone, for some reason. You were the best friend I ever had, a true gentleman. You fought hard to stay with us, for six weeks, but the damage to your little body was too great, we loved you too much to watch you suffer any more. The house is not the same without you, nothing is. We love you-I think of you every day-Love, Mommy. Poopster- wait for Mommy at The Bridge.

Petunia was so beautiful. She had the cutest little flower-face. We had 14 years together, but it's never enough. I will always love you Tootstoots.

Phats was the only cat a dog lover could love. He was playful, dirty, and loved water. Phats would always greet me at the door, and would always perch on my shoulder a s I cooked dinner. He was jet black, except for his white belly, feet, and go-tee. I had a bond closer to phats than even my own mother. Phats died due to the carelessness of a motorist February 5, 1997. We only knew each other a short time, but he has become one of the few things that I'll ever missed.
A. Alverson
My special girl: I picture you now with back legs that
work again, and joyously reunited with your life-long partner and soulmate,
Oskar, who preceded you to the Rainbow Bridge.
I'm sure the two of you are having a great time chasing each other, running
and leaping after balls, and playing your favorite herding game.
If I were asked to describe you in one word, it would be trooper.
You had a heart of gold, did everything that was asked of you, and more.
You were a vigilant companion to Oskar in his final weeks, a patient tutor
to our high-spirited puppy, Xenna, and a loving, loyal friend.
My life has been changed forever because of you. I will never forget you!
Joann Furse
You came into my life when my heart had hardened and you helped me to open it again with your gentleness, love, and humor. I miss you.

Phoenix was a very special guy. We only had a couple of years together but we made each day count. He loved quarter pounders with cheese. He only had three legs here, but I believe that at the Bridge he's chasing butterflies with four.

Phreddy was a hard-headed, independent little terrier. He lived his life at full speed ahead. He was so proud, even after he became blind, he still could sniff his way to the open patio door to go outside. He made me laugh, and kissed my tears when I cried. His kisses were counted, and he was much too macho to give kisses in front of others. He was my heart and my love, and I still miss him. I know that God has a special place for these little "people", they give so much love, and ask so little. God bless you.....
Shirley Condon
My crazy, loving Pico is always in my thoughts and now FILLS my heart. I can feel his kiss on the side of my face whenever I miss him. He gave me strength and I can't wait to see him again some day.

My darling Pippa I love you so
But I just had to let you go
I could see from your eyes
how you were suffering so
But at least I was there
To hold you close and the
last few minutes I held you
tight then I said darling
you have to go, please wait
for me darling for I know
we will be together again.

A Tribute to the Dog We Love, who left us to soon
Pippinlessness
Dog of my heart
Not human, but in some ways
I stare into your eyes and face, trying to memorize
for when the time is gone and you leave me
with nothing to remember you by, but fading images
I try to grasp on to thought of what will help me when you are
no longer here,
but there is no thought to comfort me,
nothing I can think of that will let me say yes,
I can feel Pippin, she is near.
I am void, and bleak in my Pippinlessness.
I can only wish for you, fields to run in, sun for you to rest in , food to fill your tummy, and the kindest of being to love you.
You will be gone and I will have to wait until I pass, to press your furry soft check to mine.
I will miss you dearly, until that time.
Julie Murelle
You blotted so many of my tears with your soft fur. Your love was unconditional, a thing so rare. Others I have loved have come to meet you there at the rainbow bridge, and I know you all play together. Someday I'll come too. Wait for me.
Mama Renee
Pixel,
beautiful red fur and copper eyes,
purring softly on my chest,
I will miss you dearly,
and hope you rest,
in heaven, and till
the day comes,
and we are together again
I will remember you,
and cry.

Hey, Sweet little Toad,
We miss you so much. You came into our lives as an adult, with so many
peculiar tics from the some of the early abuse you'd suffered. No one else
really understood you, but we did and you loved us so much for that. You
were always so sweet and could make out hearts want to burst because you
let us know that we were the ones you'd decided to keep in your life. Thank
you , little one. We know you won't be alone, because you'll find our Georgie
up there somewhere. We always said that you were George come back to us.
One day we'll see all of our special friends together. We love you, Pixie.

Pixie - A Memory
The world lost another ray of sunshine on Monday, August 26th, 1996, as Pixie left this world to wait at the Rainbow Bridge. Things can never be the same for those whose lives she touched.
She was with us for such a short time, a bit less than two years. But in that time, she packed in so much living that it seemed so much longer.
When people asked what kind of dog she was, we couldn't really say. Her mother was an abandoned stray, and her father never certain. Her mother's and her own looks, and her natural inclinations screamed out Border Collie, and that's the way we thought of her. But in reality, she was simply a good old farm-style mixed-breed. Most of all, she was just Pixie.
Pixie - the name fit so well. She was a mischievous sprite of a dog, always looking to play and have fun. And if her people weren't ready for fun, she would patiently wait for them to get ready, though a ball dropped in a lap was often a good hint that the waiting had gone on long enough. If that didn't work she'd just curl back up on the floor, an easy chair, or the end-table by the window, and let out the biggest sigh you could ever get from such a small bundle of fur.
She loved to be with her people. If one got up to move from room to room, she'd follow along. Up and down the stairs, inside or out, if her people were going somewhere, she wanted to go along. And if they left for a while, she'd wait by the window until they returned, then greet them eagerly at the door as they came in. It didn't matter if they were gone for a few minutes, or several days, their return was always an event to be celebrated.
Let no strangers approach the house however, or they should expect to be soundly warned off. Her house and her yard were her own, and she guarded them well. Of course, if Mommy and Daddy let the strangers in, then they must really be friends, and new friends were always a joy to be welcomed with much excitement. And friends would be remembered, even if they were not seen again for months.
A smarter dog would be hard to find. She learned the obedience class commands quickly, though would often perform the m only if she felt like it. (For a flawless performance, offer a treat and she'd show you how it was supposed to be done.) She was always testing the limits to see who was in charge, and sometimes the issue seemed to be in doubt. A strong-willed dog, she'd often do what she wanted unless you really, really meant what you said (and even then there could be some doubt).
Most of all, she loved to run. With an ancestry of dogs bred to run and herd, the instincts were strong in her. She'd chase anything that moved. Inside, it was a tennis ball, a bumble ball, the cats (a big no-no, but that never stopped her if they'd run), and especially the Zip Ball which she'd chase until she couldn't stand up any more. And if nothing else would move, her tug-rope or big spool would get picked up and flung from side to side as she raced about the house.
Outside of course was so much better, with squirrels, birds, leaves blowing in the wind, a frisbee, a stick, or a rock tossed through the trees. If you ever saw her running at full speed, or prancing around the yard with a frisbee in her mouth playing keep-away, you'd never again doubt that a dog could grin. And lawnmowers were an absolute evil that had to be chased away, even if it had to be done from the end of a leash.
We never quite broke her of racing the cars, though she usually did so from a parallel track. She never quite understood the dangers of the road, especially if there was a squirrel or cat on the other side to go after. Was she racing the truck that hit her, or simply patrolling the fringes of her yard, a black dog on a dark night? We'll probably never know, unless she can tell us when we get to the Bridge. But either way, it is certain that she died doing one of the things that she loved to do. For that at least we can be comforted.
For now, she's got lots of new friends to chase and play with, while she waits at the Rainbow Bridge. She can run and run and run and not get tired, or curl up and sleep, as the mood hit s her. And someday soon we'll be there with her, to once again play frisbee or toss-a-rock or keep-away. Until then, we'll have the memories of a little dog who loved so much!
Chris & Wayne Ketner
Pizza you will always be a part of me and I look forward to our meeting at The Bridge

PJ was so wonderful. He had the quietest purr, but it was always going. You just had to get real close to hear it. He was quite a 'nip'head (loved his catnip). The other cats would go bonkers when we did 'nip. PJ would just quietly chow down on it and then have a long quiet "buzz". I miss him so much.

Plato lost a two year battle with crf about a month ago. He endured sub-q fluids, pills, and finally, a week on Iv's at the vet hospital. We would have done and spent just about anything to keep him with us, in a comfortable state , even a little while longer. He was our first cat, and we raised him from a 3 week old fluffy orphan with a vet bottle and round the clock feedings. He taught us all we now know about cats. He gave us almost 17 years of pure pleasure and unconditional love and loyalty. He showed his affection for us even when food was not forthcoming. I find it very hard to write about him even now, almost a month after he died in Gerry's arms at 0348 AM. We buried his worn out little body under a big flowering tree in a corner of our back yard. We put a Sterling Silver rosebud and a catnip mouse in his paws. We planted baby tears over his grave and a little stone sleeping cat serves as his monument. Gerry bought a teak bench that will go over the grave so that we can sit under the tree and still feel that Plato is close by.
Gerry and Andrea Kubovcik
Dabs your smiling face will always be in our hearts. My face and heart are full of tears now but I know you are much happier and not in pain. I'll see you again.

This is the second time I have posted on this page. The first was for my 15 year old cat Darren, who was old and slow but was still the center of my life. I loved him more than I had ever loved anything or anyone before. I cry every day for him. He died on April 3, 1996. On the same day, my friend Debbie brought me a cat who was being mistreated by her friend's stupid boyfriend. Would I take Sarah in or find her a home? I took her in, of course she was pregnant. She had six kitties, four all black and topaz eyes like her, two half-Siamese with blue eyes. I kept one of each. Sarah was stolen on Halloween last year because she was all black. I am writing today about my Pokey, the Siamese cat. She and LuLu went places together, they hunted and stalked together in out yard. Pokey was a playful cat for a Siamese. She did not have that annoying cry or the stuck-up attitude a Siamese usually has. She was sweet and loving. She came to get me for her breakfast every morning with LuLu and sat with me in my computer room at night. She kept my lap warm and propped up my books. I would always find her in my chair or at my feet, purring and waiting for love. I loved her so much. On June 3 this year, I heard what I assumed was a car backfire in front of the neighbor's house and thought nothing of it. I heard loud laughing and a car speeding away. Well, it got later and later in the day and I could not find either cat to feed them. This was highly unusual for either of them. I started asking around the neighborhood to see if anyone had seen them. I got the terrible news---a group of gang members had been practicing their shooting by aiming at my cats! Pokey had been shot, she staggered in the street and was hit by a car, thrown into the air and died. I cried and looked around for LuLu. I found her a day later, hunched over in the backyard, howling in pain and bleeding. I took her to the vet, who said she had been hit three hits with a bb gun, apparently while up high someplace like a fence and had fallen down, broken her pelvis. One cat dead and the other near death! I am very happy to tell you that a lot of extra loving and pampering has brought m y LuLu back to good health and happiness for me. It looks like she will be okay, but my Pokey is gone forever. Pokey girl, I love you and I will always think of you. Go to the Rainbow Bridge and wait for LuLu until it is her time to join you.

Poncho was the coolest little dog ever. He could play ball with the best of them. If there were baseball for dogs, he'd be the shortstop. He will always be loved , and greatly missed. We love you Ponch.

Dearest little one. You lived for such a short time, but
brought us so much love. We've never forgotten, and look forward to seeing
you again when we meet on the Rainbow Bridge.

In Remembrance of Poochie
It's almost 5 months, Poo, and yet I still cry uncontrollably over loosing you. I know I did the right thing in letting you go. You had lost so much weight in that last month - I had no choice. I'd tried everything.
I had your friendship for 16 of your 18 years and that's a long time but still not long enough. You came into my life in September/80, a stray meowing at my door and answering to the name of Poochie. My daughter Jen thought you were the cat we had been feeding 2 years previously and maybe you were. When Jen left home some years later you grieved for a while but soon became attached to me - my third cat-child and the only boy.
I know you were happy when I adopted a 4th cat (a stray tabby girlfriend for you) and her 3 babies in '82. You were like a real 'papa' to that last kitten and loved playing with him. You went around the house looking for him for days after I have him away. You and Mother (the tabby) made such a happy pair - you loved each other so. You finally had someone whom you could groom to your heart's content - night and day. You were with her for 10 years before she died in '92. What a blow that was for you and me. And how you tried to snuggle up to Puffy but she would have none of it. She hissed at you for all of the 16 years you lived with her but that didn't stop you from trying to be close to her. You had a big heart and loving me wasn't enough. You wanted to love her too. I remember the many times when she was asleep and you would curl up close to her and sleep til she awoke some time later with a horrified hiss to find you had been sleeping next to her.
You had such a tender heart. You could never bear to hear me cry and would come running and rub up to me when I did as if to say "mommy, don't cry. I love you." You were always "mommy's best, most handsomest boy in the whole world."
I tried, for your sake, not to show the awful grief I felt this past January when I had to let Puffy go to the Rainbow Bridge. I don't know how you felt about her passing. You had never really been accepted by her but it still must have been lonely, being the only cat. My guilt: You were my last baby and I clung to you - perhaps longer than I should have. You almost died last November. Was May too long to try to see if I could make you well? My memories: Your greeting me at the door. The walks we used to take in the park - you romping in the bushes but always coming when I called. Your tender heart at my many griefs through life.
I miss you Poo. Thank you for coming to me recently in a dream to show me that you are now healthy and OK. Mommy will never forget you.

My beloved pooda, Momma love's and misses you so very

Our sweet Pooh Bear! You were only with us on earth for 19 short months but oh what a difference you made! You were everything a Bulldog is supposed to be...loving, loyal, protective and oh such a fighter! Your little body may have been crippled but your spirit was perfect. You never knew you were different. We knew from the start we couldn't keep you forever...just wish it could have been longer. Everyone knew you were special and there will never be another to take your place. We know you are perfect and happy now. You can run and jump and do all the things you couldn't do on earth. No more pain ever...just the pain in our hearts from your absence. Even that won't last forever. We know you and Cody are there waiting for us by the Rainbow Bridge. Until then, we love and miss you sweet Pooh.
Julie, Adam, Mom and Dad
For 16 years, you made us smile. you showed the doctors you were wrong when they said you would never walk again, you made it through the big earthquake, only to finally fall to a case of kidney failure, I am so glad you didn't suffer. The vet told us we were doing the right thing, that compared to most, we let you go when the time was right, not being selfish and asking you to hang on. Thank you for your unconditional love for 16 years. When I think of you, I am happy, only slightly hurt that you are not here to comfort me as you have been since I was 3. We all miss you terribly, but we know you are finally happy now. Someday, somehow we will be together again. Until that time, please be happy, please remember us fondly, I know we will never forget our favorite family friend.
Pooh, we love you, and we miss you terribly
Mom, Dad, Carrie and Danny.
Pooh, you were only with us for a very short 13 1/2 years but the love and companionship you gave us will stay with us forever. We miss you terribly. We look forward to being together again and will always love you. Please give Nicki, Chime, Willow and Teddy a big kiss with love.
Mom, Dad and Stephanie
He was wonderful. Not the smartest cat, but he had a great personality. Only cat I ever had that would give paw.
Kathleen
My little Pookie, today marks one year since I had to make the most difficult decision of my life--to send you on your last journey. I hope your days at the Rainbow Bridge have been wonderful and pain-free. I hope you and Chrissie have found new adventures and many new fur friends. You were, and still are in heart, my little baby dog. How I miss you! I still see you chasing the cows at the ranch house and the rabbits at the lake house. How wonderful those days are to remember. You were young and well and so full of energy and life. Look for me, my little baby dog, at the Rainbow Bridge. I so want to see you again.
Your loving "mom," Peggy M.
Dearest Pookie,
You are my best friend always. Thank you for giving me the joy of being in my life. You are a healer, counselor and companion. Please continue to be my guardian angel. Praying for you everyday and remembering all our precious moments together. The house is empty without you and so am I. Rest in peace my baby and know you will never be forgotten and always loved and in our hearts.
Love and kisses,
Mom
and C
Joanne George-Pellowe
To our gentle soul Pook! We love you very much and will miss your kisses and your smile. We hope that you will have lots of water and many treats. We know that you will find lots of people to take you for rides!!! We'll be back to get you!
Love,
Dad, mom and snoop

Thirteen years ago, my mom took me to a pet shop to get me a kitten for my birthday. I was in college, living alone, and I wanted a cat. There happened to be a new litter of kittens in the back of the store - very cute, gray and off-white himalayans. To everyone's surprise, the one I chose was the homeliest, scrawniest pick of the litter, but I felt an immediate attachment and would have no other. Yesterday, I had to have her euthanized due to feline leukemia - she could barely breathe, had become totally listless, and I was told she would very likely not survive the pain and trauma of treating her. I then chose to say goodbye to Poot, my longest, dearest and best friend for the past thirteen years, and I miss her deeply. But I grieve not for her but for me, for I know she's happily running and playing under the Rainbow Bridge. I will see Poot again, someday, but until then I will grieve for her loss, a little less as the days, months and years go by. But I will never forget her, and all the love she gave me, as well as all the love she allowed me to give her. I had told her time and time again, just so I was sure she understood, but again, and forever, I say, "I love you, Poot".
Charles Raley
In Memorial for my dear friend, Suez, and her beloved
Pooter Craig and I are thinking of you both. We know Pooter, with his angel
wings gently enfolding you, is well and at peace with our FancyBoy and
JoJo as they all await us.
We love you always, Susie :)
Popeye was a great, loyal companion that will remain in our hearts forever. Being our first and special dog, he will stick out foremost in our minds. He always wanted to be around us in every way. And he enjoyed our walks, talks, and outings together. He was the best friend I ever had and I hope that one day I will meet him at Rainbow Bridge. See you there buddy!

Goodbye dear little Poppy.
Sheree and Darren Steed
Little Posii was a dear black angel, with only a hint of white on her neck. A supreme lapcat, with undying patience for having her tummy rubbed, she made certain that her mama never went to sleep without snuggling by her side. We will miss you constantly, little one, and hope that you'll be happy waiting at the bridge for us. We'll see you soon!
Billie Winter
Poupon, we'll miss you so very dearly. You were our favorite cat...the way you greeted us when we walked in the door...the way you pawed our legs wanting to be picked up and held like a baby...the way you cuddled with us...you were the best cat an owner could ask for. You were only with us for such a very short time, but in that time you loved us unconditionally and endlessly.
You're doing better now than you were in your last months. We'll miss you big buddy...but we'll see you again sometime soon! You'll always be close to our hearts.
Love, Amy, Julian, Maggie, Charlotte, Nicole, and Monet
To my little boy, Powder...
You gave to me all the joy, happiness, unconditional love and companionship
that a person could ever wish for in our 19 years together. The most difficult
decision I've ever made in my life was the other day when I asked the vet.
to put your body to rest. Your soul had outlived it. I saw the pain in
your tired blue eyes. It was time to join Echo, your inseparable soulmate
of 18 years. You were both the world to me. You both will be in my heart
always. I will forever love you guys...
Billy Rothschild
Precious, was a kind, loving dog. She had breast cancer and for four years, she survived. She was expected to do only two things, and that was eat and sleep. Will miss her. She was just a great little pet. I have never regretted getting her, she was going to be put to death because no one wanted her. When I saw her, she only weighed 10 lbs, had Heart Worms, Ring Worms, in other words was in bad shape, my heart went out to her and I said I would take her. But she was always ill, but she had a good home, had 3 acres to play on a big house to call her own, another dog friend, Cleo, to play with and to cat friends. I gave her the best home I could and will miss her. She was loved and taken care of. God bless you Precious..
Love, Donna.
You are missed so much by Mommy, Daddy, Jill, Grandma,
Chad, and your brother Bristol.
Christmas will not be the same without you, puppy. Hugs and kisses.

Pretty Boy was a large ginger tom who could have been a double for Morris. As is typical of ginger cats, he was extremely loving and gentle. Whenever legs turned into laps, you would find him sitting upon your knee, his great golden eyes glowing with love as he softly purred.
Pretty Boy was always the one member of the Johnson family who was never out of sorts, who always greeted our returns with enthusiasm, and who made us better people than we would have been without him.
In later years, Pretty Boy suffered from arthritis in his hips which caused him increasing pain. At last, the decision was made to ease him from his suffering and my mother and aunt took him to Dr. Boyle and the compassionate staff of the Burnaby/New West clinic.

Prija is one of the best cat in the world. None can replace

Pray for him to have a good after life. We love you Prija.

Dear Prince,
I know it has been said a million times before, but I have to tell you that this holds true for you: You were the best dog a person could ask for. You were kind, gentle, loyal, and forgiving. You never barked (except when happy), you walked yourself--with no leash--trotting happily along, you waited patiently outside to come in (even when the silly humans forgot you were out there!), and you tolerated all the pictures and videos we took of you--as you starred in all of our Dr. Pooch movies. You were beautiful and a noble example of your breed. We will always love you, and miss you, but take comfort in knowing that you passed quietly, without suffering, and lived a happy life. Everyone who knew you looks forward to seeing your loving brown eyes again someday.
Goodbye for now, Princer. We love you.
Brian and Family
To my beloved Prince..... We all loved you more than you could ever imagine. I miss you so very much my little "Pincie". Love Somber, Matize, Little Shitt, BiJon, Amour,Angeleen, Sandy and Mommy.

Today I held you as you breathed your last. It hurt so much to let you go. As I cried into your fur, you turned those loving, trusting eyes on me and asked me to help you. I couldn't ignore your last request, not after all you have given to me. You were the most loving, wonderful Rottie in the world. Even though I hurt, I know you don't. I'll always remember your wonderful life, the waddling fluff who tripped over his feet, to the loving, supportive companion of later years. All you wanted was to be near me - playing, loving, or just being together quietly. I'll miss our little talks and you underfoot as I cleaned the house. You protected me from buzzards and planes flying in the sky; warned me when noisy vehicles and the ice cream truck was near; sang with the sirens of emergency vehicles, even those on TV. You were there for me when your daddy left, giving me all the love in your big heart. No one could ask for a better nurse. You wouldn't leave my side to eat or drink - I had to bring your bowls into the bedroom. You had so much love to give, I let you become a therapy dog. You only go t to make one trip but you made a big impact on lots of people. Then you became ill. I thought you could bring love to others and prayed so hard you'd get well. But the Lord has called you to the Rainbow Bridge. I know you hurt no more; you 're free and happy as you romp with the other dogs at the Bridge. Wait there for me, Prince. I'll come for you one day. Go with God, baby. I love you so much and I'll miss you. You'll always be in my heart. Till we meet again baby.
Prince Damien II, 4/21/87 - 6/10/96

Dear Princey,
With sad hearts we say good-bye to you, our second little kid we have lost to feline leukemia this year. The loss will be especially hard on our 15 year old Patch who was your life-long mentor and playmate. We hope you are happy and healthy now and keeping a watchful eye out for old Patch. May we all be united someday at the bridge.
Love you and miss you , Becky and Darrell and our remaining ' little kids '.
A very special mamma dog, in a family of 16 furry friends.
She gave me unconditional love and companionship that I will cherish forever.
I have planted a red maple by her resting place so that I will always remember
her life and passing in a beautiful burst of red every fall. Now she can
run and play, sleep and eat for eternity. Till we meet again princess
love always,
your friend,
Susan
Princess Buttercup, a female cavy known to her close family as "Cuppy," passed away October 5, 1997 after a short illness. She is survived by her mate, Dr. Watson, her 3 children, Bear, Krumm, and Jackie, her parents, Heath and Heather Moss, her maternal grandmother, Judith Kimmerle, and her family physician, Dr. John Ruffing. Buttercup was a loving mother and trusted friend whose kisses and singing will be sadly missed. She was laid to rest in a private garden in the Pittsburgh, PA area during a private ceremony. The family wishes to have her remembered during a candlelight ceremony.
Heath Moss
We will miss your smiling face all the rest of our days!

Principessa, You will always be with me-THE HEART REMEMBERS, LOVE NEVER DIES.

Priscilla was humanely euthanized after a long battle with congestive heart failure (about 4 years). She came to the Cats Haven shelter after being abandoned at a local vet clinic at age 12. Her personality really lacked a lot to be desired but towards the end she was ready to take her trip to Rainbow Bridge.
Cats Haven
I sit here now numb with grief. I had her for 17 wonderful years and I can't believe she's gone. We had so many wonderful, affectionate times together. She had the heart and soul of an angel. She was so gentle and dainty in her ways. My husband and I will miss her more than words can say. Goodbye Beloved Friend until we meet again.

Dear Promise:
You were the sweetest and most loving dog that ever lived. So many people will miss you. But we will miss you most of all. We wish that you could have stayed with u s longer, but we know it was your time to go. We will love and miss you forever. Your memory will always be with us.
Janice and Scott
Promise loved so many people, and she was loved in return by many people. We thank all of her friends, and ours, at Allpets Clinic in Boulder, Colorado for helping us love and care for her during her life, and for being there with her and us when she died. We know that she loved all of you as much as she loved us, and we know that many of you loved her as much as we did. We were happy that many of you were able to say goodbye to her along with us. She died knowing that she was very loved. She will be very sadly missed, and often remembered.
Puccini, warmest lover

Love You Puck. You will always be oh so special to me. Thanks for all you gave to me. Run free and jump high my "Standard Sheltie." your buddy

Pudding was my solace in a very difficult time of my life, married too young, emotionally lost, bringing up a special needs child without a lot of support from others. She sat on the bump when I was pregnant with my son. She was a grand and grumpy lady when she got old. I sent her over the Rainbow Bridge when she got rapidly spreading nasal cancer. She had been a one for lying out in the sun and sadly at that time I had not known the risks for white cats. I shall deeply miss her forever. Love you Puds.
Tische.
We love you and miss you. By now you are with Casey. Don't let her boss you around. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. You were Daddy's "Brown Eye Girl"

Ode to a PuddyTat:
We found you abandoned and sick in 1981 - a tiny 1.5 pound chocolate brown kitten. Even though you were sick, you tottered over to me to be petted and loved, meowing constantly. We fell in love then.
You got better and dominated the household, wielding a firm furry paw over all (including the Fat Mama Cat). You fetched your nerf ball a thousand times up and down the stairs, proudly depositing it at our feet each time. You loved chicken and ate asparagus like it was going out of style. Your favorite place to be was between us in bed. I often thought that we should've named you Dog because you followed Bill around like one. Your big green eyes shone with love whenever you looked at us.
You had many nicknames - Poule de Etat, Puddin' Tat, Kissy Kat, KittyCat Mesial, Puddy-Woody, and Little Brown Girl. We will not use these names again because you were special.
You lived a long, full life, Little Brown Girl, and no other cat can ever replace you. Rest in peace, PuddyTat - we'll be together again.
Pam and Bill
Everywhere we went, we were stopped and told how beautiful you were. They were right, but there was so much more to you than that rich auburn coat, those shocking blue eyes, your inquisitive eyebrows, and your playful smile. You were a lesson in perfect love and perfect friendship. It was not your time, and that is what you didn't understand. Thank you for holding on to say goodbye to me -- that was the most amazing, touching event that my eyes have been witness to. And you, my Pudgey, were the greatest companion and friend that I will ever have. You remain in my dreams, my thoughts and my prayers. I love you, baby. Please be happy in the place you have found. Goodbye Pudge, your life will be remembered and loved for all of mine.

Today I buried my "Friend" of 20 years, 8 months.
Puff was a Maine Coon, and was as much a part of me as my own blood.
He'd sleep on my feet at night , wake with a lick from his tongue every
morning, and always be with me in my lowest moments.
Now today at 1:30 PM EDT , I had to do the unthinkable to put him to sleep.
He lost so much weight and had tumor in neck, and started bleeding, this
AM , vet, said only humane way for his sake. As much as I wanted to tell
him Fix my Puff, I knew there was no fixing this, his time had come, I
kissed and hugged him for the last time at 1:30 today, and brought him
home and buried him under his favorite bush were he spent the past 20 years
sunning himself in the summer sunshine.
I miss him so much, it hurts.

My precious Puff kitty of 13 years died yesterday after
a long illness.
I don't know what else to say here, but I hope she knows how much I loved
her.
Puffer was good friend and very loving, showing her affection by nuzzling my face in showing her love, would go hunting for up to two week at a time (live on 160 acres) but that wasn't unusual for her to do but always came home but unfortunately not this time, feel she is in heaven with the other pets I have lost playing with them.

of laughter with your sweet little Puggy face, and all the times you brought
joy and shared your love with us in unquestioning trust.
Your place in history is secure, because sweet Puggy, your light is still
here.

See you at the Rainbow Bridge .... someday ...

Rest in peace my baby pug.

It's been one year and I still miss you dearly. I'm still unable to write a tribute to you; it's still too painful...just know that I still love you dearly!!!
Sheri Foxworth-Krajcik
May he know how much I loved him and how much I miss him and realize euthanasia was the only way to relieve his pain.

Punkin, my special furbaby, went to the Rainbow Bridge on 8/1/97 after a very short FUS illness. He was my very special furbaby because he was born with a deformed rear end. One leg was removed, but he never missed it. He could run as fast as the kitties with four legs. Last year, just as spring was beginning, he became ill with all the symptoms of cancer, but he had a benign tumor on his bladder. His doctor removed the tumor and part of his bladder as a last ditch effort to save his life and it worked! For a whole, wonderful year I had my baby back with me, but it was not to be for long. I miss my Punkin so very much. He was such a special boy. I keep looking for him around the house. It helps to have other kitties, but none of them fill the void in my heart made by this special orange and white longhair furball. Punkin, I love you so and miss you so much. Keep watching, sweetie, because I will be joining you someday at the Rainbow Bridge. For now, run and play and meet new friends and enjoy all the wonderful experiences at the Rainbow Bridge. I love you, Punkin.
Marilyn Mathews
I REMEMBER PUNKIN
Soft, white fur
with butterscotch patches;
Bright, brown eyes
fringed by white lashes;
Nine pounds of love,
just right for holding;
One sweet, small dog
my arms enfolding.
'Though Punkin is gone,
we're never apart.
She jumped from my arms
into my heart.
Linda Austin
Punkin, Lily, Buzz, Aggie, Veni-Angel, LeStat, Athena, Radi, Precious, Reepicheep
We miss our beloved rats, especially Veni-Angel , Athena and Lily. Homer, the neutered male, is lost without Punkin. Please pray for him.
Sue Laux
My sweet Punky, I had to say good-bye to you today. We were good friends for 9 years and I will miss you.
Sharon Lynch
To "Pup" who helped me thru the fuzzy darkness
of blindness to a miracle surgey that restored my sight.
You were the best.
Please wait for me and don't forget how much I love you!
Robert Wheatley
Puppy, Pluto, and Bandit were not my animal companions. They were with people who did not properly care for them, To Puppy, who lived next door, I miss you as do Bud, Zeke, Leftie, and Dusty. It doesn't seem the same without you. I know that you were loved and that you know that. As for, Pluto and Bandit, I never knew you. But Carolyn is very upset about your deaths. You two were simply babies, perhaps you will find a wonderful home (where the people understand the responsibility of dog care) soon. Carolyn loved you.

On Thursday November 14th 1996.. Purrsey went to the Rainbow
Bridge in Heaven... My life will never be the same without this little
Blue Eyed White Oriental.. he was my constant companion.. either on my
shoulder or on top of the computer Purrsey was with me in everything I
did... Purrsey had the most Wonderful Purr and was always talking to me
with that great Oriental Meow... I will never forget the time he spent
in my life.. although just a little over a year.. his presence in my life
will never be forgotten.. I know now that I do have a Guardian Angel with
me.... Purrsey will be my "Angel on my Shoulder"!!! I will miss
my little boy very much but I know that someday when I leave this earth..
I will once again look into those Wonderful Blue Eyes and will be with
him once again Forever!!! Thankyou God for letting me spend time with Purrsey...
He will never be forgotten!!!
