1999 Tributes

D.A. thru Dylan and Dylan II

I can't begin to say the loss I feel with out you by my side. But your eyes, those beautiful eyes, said what I could not hear. Yes, you were ready, yes you needed to go. But until we met again, my heart will not be whole. I love you D

Kris Orbus

We rescued you at the age of 3 months from people who should have never had you. We loved you the moment we saw you. We let you sleep with us, even though you constantly licked us and didn't want us to sleep! You became my baby. My little buddy! I couldn't wait to see you grow from this hyper puppy to a adult dog. You were a true, never ending joy, I did not know what I had till the day, on New Year's Eve, you were hit by a truck and (I Pray) killed instantly, for the man who hit you took you back to his house and buried you and then came to us with this agonizing news. We immediately brought you home, where you belong, for the burial you deserve. I wish I knew for sure that there was no pain, no suffering, and I wish I could have been there to hold you and let you know that I was there with you. I miss you, Ubu, so much, I haven't experienced a pain like this, ever. When is it going to get easier? I do get some relief knowing in my heart, that we will be together again, in Heaven. You were so gentle and loving, so beautiful, there will never be another like you. Why did you have to go from us so soon? We miss you and will always love and remember you. Daddy, Mommy, Daniel, and Cayleigh
   P.S. you'll always be
   my "Ubu BuBu"

Daffodil was a Lutino (all yellow) cockatiel that we acquired from my daughter's day care center. As a result, she was not very friendly to children. She lived with us for 3 years, and in the last year, came around to letting my daughter hold and pet her. She was a sweet bird and loved to have her head and neck scratched and rubbed. We came home one evening to Daffodil laying motionless on the bottom of her cage. Have a safe flight to the Rainbow Bridge, Daffy! We will see you there someday.

Val, John, Caitlin and Kyle

My favorite friend for so many years. My pillow is not the same without you. You knew my soul so well. I will see you again.

Love, Mom

Daisy was a wonderful, faithful dog. She was born on our one-year wedding anniversary. We acquired her when she was six-weeks old. She stayed, with her brother Bogie, at Cheryl's parents' house until we moved into our house in August, 1983. Daisy and I bonded the first few weeks we moved into the house. My company was on strike and Cheryl was working full-time. Daisy and I did everything together for those three weeks. From the beginning, she was a good dog. She never ran from the yard. When we would let her outside to do her "business", she would be waiting at the side door, waiting to come in. If we left her out too long, she would bark to make sure we did not forget about her. When our children came along, it was an adjustment for her, but there was no jealousy. When our oldest daughter, Beth, would come up to Daisy, who may have been sleeping, and pulled the hair on her head, Daisy would not snip or bite. She yelped to let us know that Beth was hurting her. Daisy was always involved in family activities. She always sang happy birthday with us. And we always made sure that we celebrated her birthday, along with our anniversary. As the years passed, and Daisy's health was failing, she slowed down and slept a lot more. One thing that she always enjoyed, however, was going for a short car ride to the store or library. She loved to stick her head out of the rear window of the car and play "Neverending Dog", a play-on the dog in the movie "Neverending Story". To the end, whenever Cheryl had worked the night before and I had to eat breakfast by myself, my "buddy" would always sit with me and keep me company. God - am I going to miss her in the mornings! She always loved to watch me make popcorn and catch the fallout (I always made sure that there always was fallout). The night before she passed away, she enjoyed her favorite treat. The day that she died, I knew that she was letting us know that is was her time to go by hiding in corners and behind furniture. We took her to the vet that day, wrapped in her sleeping blanket. She looked so peaceful sleeping in the blanket. I knew that she wasn't feeling well because as we pulled into the parking lot at the vet's she was not shaking like a leaf with her hair falling out, like she had done in the past. If there was only a miracle drug to heal her! I kept remembering the article I read in an Ann Landers column titled "A Dog's Plea", that "when I am very old and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts and keep me going. I am not having any fun. Please see to it that my life is taken gently. I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands". We honored the plea. The last breath she took was in our arms. We will miss you Daisy. We will always love you.

Tim & Cheryl Franczak

My darling brave Daisy, I love you more than anything in my life and always will. You gave me so much love and laughter. Sleep peacefully my little stripey cat, have happy pussy cat dreams until we are together again and I can cuddle you to my heart and smell your fur and hear the best purr in the world.

Thank you my little one, forever.
Debbie

Daisy was a humane society dog, not a pure bred, not a sought after breed of dog. She was my life, my light and my soul. For 17 years, she loved, taught, listened, guarded and touched every moment of my life. She was there when my parents died, when I married and when I had children. Life without her is not the same. But she left me with the compassion to continue to rescue unwanted pets. I don't know if there is a rainbow bridge or if there's a place pets go, but I know without a shadow of a doubt, I'll see her again when I too leave this earth for a higher plane. I know she's busy helping others until I join her. Daisy, I'll get there soon old girl. I gotta get these kids raised first. But one day, you and I will run and play again. I'll bring your bowl and the locket I still wear with a lock of your hair. Wait for me girl. Until then......the flame burns forever as does our love .

Peggy

We will always remember you, Daisy. We miss you very, very much. We know that some day we will see you and play with you again. Your loving family left behind.

Melanie Becker

For Daisy, My Beautiful Adventure Dog, God Blessed us with your cheerful wandering spirit for four years. I know you have figured out a way to get past the Rainbow Bridge to go find Mama because she always loved her little golden grandpup. Keep her company until its our time, too. Now, I always remember to drive slow for other peoples Adventure Dogs out looking for excitement, even though I have a heavy foot and a fast car. Be a good girl and don't antagonize Tom, even in Paradise, he'll get you with those Tom Cattin' claws. Much Love Always, Mommie, Daddy, Aunt Shannan, Uncle Ricky who was smart enough to find you, and Brandon.

Loving thanks to Daisy Jane, love dog extraordinary. Your love, teaching and personal training will last a life time. Your joy in the simple things of life and the joy your shared daily were special gifts. Maybe, because you were one of a kind, that is why you could be so special in every way.

Ellen Coker

We love you, Daisy, and always will. Thank you for fifteen years of unconditional love. We will miss you.

Ronald and Gretchen Johnston

Dakota, you were the best dog in the world. You were my best friend, my only child. I love you and miss you terribly, but I understand that you had to go. Thanks for giving me all of your love unconditionally. Buddy, I'll see you at the Rainbow Bridge. Thanks so much for being my BEST friend and companion in the whole world.

Tish

My darling, baby Damian. Oh, how I still miss you. You were a child to me; and although I had you almost 14 years, it was not long enough. I know that you did not want to leave me; and that is why you kept going on and on. You will live on in my heart forever. Your eyes were always filled with trust, knowing that I would always take care of you. And I always did right to the very end. I love you very much, my Damian. And I know that you loved me , too.

Mommy

Damian, I know that someday soon we will be together at the bridge. Until then may the wind carry our spirits together. Wait for me and keep Beau and Noah company til I get there. I love you. Your time was just too short on earth but when we are finally united at the bridge then we'll be together forever. Mommy

Damien was our little man. A constant companion who will never be forgotten. We will take good care of the love you left behind, and we'll meet up with you again someday. Take care and watch over us. Sweet Dreams!

Julianne Otott

You left us too soon. We miss you. We love you.

The McNesbys

Danni, you were a very special baby... so loving, and so very very loved in return. We will all miss you Danni girl...

Love Mommy

As no soul that has or ever will pass through my life you were my everything. through the good and the bad you were the captain of my ship, steering me to fight the good fight. God bless and keep you my friend until the day when the two of us will cross the bridge together. My life you have enriched and my tribute to a lifetime of love from my heart!

Gary Tomlinson

Keep singing Daph. I'll meet ya there later.

Laurie Hay

So very much missed and remembered... we love you and can't wait to see you again.

Susan Tousey

My sweet Darcy,

You were the most loyal friend I have ever had. I shall never forget you. I will always love you.

Mom

I love you Danni. I miss you more than I ever thought possible. No one will ever touch my life like you did. I say a prayer for you each night. I know that to keep you alive would have been for me and not for you and I love you far to much to be that selfish. But still my heart aches and the tears flow endlessly. I can still feel you nuzzling my chest and scratching your head on my shoulder. I hear your soft nicker when you hear my voice and the sound of your hooves running to greet me. I still see you chasing the other horses away from "your person" because all attention and especially carrots should go to you. Wait for me, Danni. I love you with all my heart.

Julie

You were the best dog and friend to me. You touched my life with so much laughter, happiness, and great memories. I still cannot believe you are gone. I look forward to seeing you again and being with you, never separated again, at Rainbow Bridge, and I hope you are waiting for me there. I love you and miss you greatly.

Love always, Sarah.

Darth was all that was best in the English Cocker and then some...He was a truely exceptional dog and our lives were enriched by his love and devotion!

Spooky & Harkon

Darthie was my best friend from my senior year of college. She enrichened my life immensely. Even though she was sick for the past few years, she didn't slow down or complain until the last day. As much as I miss her now, I am glad I was able to do one final act of kindness for her and put her to sleep.
Rest in peace, my little girl.

Shelley Rosenbaum Lipman

Although Dashiell Detective Dog is missed so very much here, it helps to know that he is now able to play with all our special friends - Freckles, Skippy, Sam, Iggy, Nicky, and Emma. Dashiell loved meeting other dogs so much that now he is truly in dog heaven. Barb and Jerry

In the early spring of 1980 I sat out side talking to some neighbors. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something move under a parked car. I looked closer. It was a small young kitten....mostly white with patches of black and brown tabby. I called him and he came to me immediately. He bone thin from not eating for who knows how long. His ears were completely black inside from mites and he was bleeding slightly from his anus. I petted him and he rubbed around me affectionately. I took him inside and showed him to my wife. She loved him immediately. We kept him of course and name him Dave......I just couldn't seem to come up with a cute name. Eventually the bleeding stopped, he ate and filled out, and with ear medicine his ears cleared up. From the start he decided we were his humans and this was his home. As the months went by he grew and became beautiful. He played constantly. He always slept with us. And he always gave us his love unconditionally. The years went by and he matured but, his love never changed. About 6 or 7 years ago we found out that he had a heart murmur and it would get worse with age but, not significantly shorten his life span. Still that information hurt.............just to think one day his life would end. A couple of years later my wife and I separated and I kept Dave. He missed her and looked sad for a long time. Two years ago I found someone and he took to her from the start............he preferred the ladies it seems. I had noticed that he was aging and moved slower as the years passed. But his love never changed. He and the other cats I acquired since he first adopted me changed my dwelling from a house to a home...........Dave and the others gave the house what seems to be a 'soul'. Last year(1997) he started coughing alot indicating his heart was getting worse. This was confirmed by the vet and he was given medication. The medication and more attention from us helped. He was very sensitive about how much attention and loving he got from us............I can' help but blame myself for not giving enough love when he wanted it. I get busy doing something and ignore him at the time. You could see it hurt him. He would walk away sadly with his tail down. He was always an 'inside' cat but, to give him more attention and a treat we would take him out in the back yard every time we did. He loved it. He was old and slow and never wandered off. Most of the time he slept on the lounge. Occasionally, while we worked in the yard he would come to us and protest that he wanted someone to sit with him. We would stop and sit with him and he would fall back to sleep after giving us his approval. That spring and summer were wonderful. His health improved even though he was still getting more frail and his eye sight was failing. Well, summer came to an end and while he still wanted to go outside he would turn to come back inside because of the cold. His health got worse....he lost alot of weight.....he ate very little.........and slept on the floor in out of the way places. We took him to the vet. He had an infection. Medication helped and he perked up but he couldn't regain any weight no matter how much he ate with the help of an appetite stimulant. One day I noticed he was having a hard time making a bowel movement. I called the vet and a stool softener was prescribed and administered. The next day I didn't see him for a while. I looked in the basement. He was laying on his side on the floor. I picked him up......he was light as a feather. He didn't move much and seemed very weak and lethargic. We rushed him to the vet. They gave fluids by iv and kept him for the night. Dave hadn't improved by the next day and he seemed worse to me.......but still I hoped for the best. He stay there that day and night and we hoped. The next morning the vet called and said he was definitely getting worse. We visited Dave again. He didn't seem aware of us or anything else. The vet told me there wasn't much hope and Dave was having pain. I had to make a very hard decision. I wanted him alive but I didn't want him to be in pain. I didn't want him to be in pain but, I didn't want to kill him. I made the decision knowing it would hurt. I held Dave in my arms and told him how much I loved him and asked him to forgive me for what I had decided and for every time I was harsh with him in his past. He lay there...........he didn't seem to notice. The vet asked me if I was ready...I nodded. I held Dave close to me and the vet gave him the injection........he gave a weak protest the lay quiet for a little.......then a few gasps and a couple of twitches and he was gone. I stood up and cryed with out control. I MISS YOU DAVE!!!!
I LOVE YOU DAVE!!!!!!
Good bye Big Boy!!!
I love you Number One Kitty!!!!
The house and I feel so empty now.
With all my love forever please rest in peace!!

God will this pain ever go away?

Eric

Although I only had a few years with him, he will always be on my mind. He was a great friend and a great protector. He is irreplaceable. We will always miss him.

Bill and Sue Speckman

Beloved companion of David N. Maybury, Teresa Amy-Maybury and son Daniel Maybury. Always be cherished and missed.

Dayton was my "Golden Ambassador of Good Will." A retired guide dog, he never ceased aiding those of us who loved him. He was always there with that "loopy" grin of his that would make you smile, no matter how bad things were. "D Monster" you will be missed. I love you!

Anneon

My heart broke in two today As my beautiful Black cocker that liked to be call Buggs went to Rainbow bridge.
She was always there when I needed big hug and sloppy kiss. She helped me thru the tough times. I will miss the sound of four little paws coming down the hall for her treats and her greeting me in the mornings or when she wants to scratched behind the ear. God please take care of her. Good bye sweet heart . Mom Loves you! Daddy loves and misses you so much.

Nancy Sims

Dee, you are my best friend and I will miss you so much. I love you.
I will always feel your face as you nuzzle against my neck.
Goodbye my angel.
Mommy

Dee-Dew was the sweetest cat, and so loving. She'd wait on the water heater every day for me to come home from work. She is buried under the plum tree in my yard.

When someone dies, we are moved to tears, we begin to think, and express our fears;
Life is wonderous, of that we know, but, what lies beyond, the waters flow;
The fear is not, of what has past, but, will our love, forever last;
So keep in your hearts, the memory, of those who passed, and, their lives, WILL FOREVER LAST.

To the sweet love of my life, I will always miss you, and I will forever remember all the love you gave and never wanted anything in return. THANK YOU!

Love Mommy (Lynn)

A wonderful and faithful little friend defending his territory. Gone and sadly missed by his owner.
This was to be our year and suddenly you were tragically taken from me. I cannot forget that terrible day to see you so mutilated, fighting for your life. And now there is an empty space in my life even though you sister is still with us and now has another companion.
Denim I love you always my little special friend.

Love Jan.

Derwood, My Beautiful Big Boy Cat. You were so devoted to me, gave me courage and filled my heart with love. You were such a good boy I loved you very much and will always love you. I will miss you terribly..I could not bear to see you suffer or have any pain..please forgive me. I held you in my arms as you passed on to the Bridge. Please get well and happy, run through fields of flowers and fetch halos as you fetched pipe cleaners for me. Derwood, you have my Soul....please watch over me, and meet me when my time comes. I love you...Der Der....Mom Mom Ruth

It's hard to come up with words right now, but I'll try...

Des definitely had a personality all her own. I think maybe it was her defensive mechanism for dealing with whatever happened in her first six months of life, before we knew and began loving her. She had spunk!

She also had beautiful glossy black fur and ever vigilant, bright eyes.

I will miss her...

Jennifer

Destiny was a rare and special kitty. She got her name because two of us dreamed her one night and found her the next morning. She was our Destiny. She was also special, because she was one of very few cats ever diagnosed with Primary Hyper-Parathyroidism. She was the only one known to have had it only periodically. The episodes were life-threatening but short in duration. It was only during the most recent episode, which began a little over a year ago, that the illness was finally diagnosed. After many months of fighting off the effects of the disease, the struggle had to be ended when it was clear that she couldn't survive and was suffering. Destiny loved life more than anyone I've ever known. She fought harder to survive than anyone I've ever seen. She was the most courageous and loving cat I'll probably ever have the privilege of knowing. She walked across the Rainbow Bridge with her companion, Rowdy, and has joined her daughters, Petitechat and Mystical, who went on before her, as well as her beloved, I Ching Ming Tu (Ichi). Chris, Singer (daughter), Skamper (daughter), and I all miss our "super kitty" terribly.

Sandi Tinker for Chris Kendell

Devon was my first Akita, and quite frankly I did not want him, since I had only heard the horror stories of the breed. He was a rescue dog, and my husband was really excited to get a "man's dog". Devon fooled us all, he was a gentle giant, helping to raise our daughter Delaney who was only 9 months old when he arrived. When she cried, he would come and tug on my hand until I went to her, and when she was old enough to nap on the floor, Devon was willingly her pillow. My poor hubby never got "his" dog, since Devon and I were attached from the very first day, he was definitely Mom's boy, right up until the last day. I love you Devon boy, I can't wait until I come across that bridge to see you bounding towards me, whole again and happy to be together. I miss you so much.

Monica Cronin

My fuzzy best friend How I miss you!
Twelve years wasn't long enough  
They flew by too fast.  

Remember when you were a kitten and I could hold you in the palm of my hand?  
Remember how we used to snug every morning before I took a shower?  
Remember how you used to knead my head, the red nightgown?  
Remember when your fleas collar go caught in your mouth?  
Remember Chica?  
Remember Debbie?  
Remember spraying Rick?  
I'll miss you sleeping with me every night.  
I'll miss your soft, shiny, silky fur.  
I'll miss you kneading my head.  
I'll miss your white-so-white,  
I'll miss your black-so-black,  
I'll miss your cute pink nose and those bright shiny eyes  
I won't miss your catbox.  
I'll miss your soft little paws and your great big tummy.  
My Gund kitty,  
My Good-n-Plenty kitty,  
My double-stuffed-Oreo-cookie kitty,  
my soulmate  
my Dexter.

Love,  
Cindi  

Dexi was a stray- 160 lbs of pure love. He looked just like Dreyfuss on the TV show Empty Nest. I miss him so much and my other dog, Jackie, misses him terribly. They were best buddies for 11 years. I don't know what to do for my Jackie. I guess time will heal both of us. Dexi left a huge gap in this household that will NEVER be filled. I still cry several times daily for my wonderful, gentle giant of a kid.

Carole Fila

To my honey bunny/little buddie
Little did you know, that when you left you took part of heart with you. Hold onto it until we meet on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Gina Rawlings

Diamond was a rescue bulldog that rescued me from sorrow many times. She was always ready to have fun or sit and snuggle. Her stubbornness and perseverance were legendary in our family. I miss her very much -- rest in peace Diamond-dog. I love you.

Amy

Good bye Dickens my friend and bodyguard

Darrin Ford

Just to say that Dickie will be greatly missed by both of us. He was far more than just a cat, he was our baby and mate.

Sorry we were away when you went, we can never forgive ourselves.

We love you and come and 'visit' us when you want. Judith misses your weight on her legs as she sleeps.

Tribute To Diego:

You were a very special cat. From the moment I got you, after being in a basket all day long in a class of first graders, I knew you were special. I brought you home that night and you slept all night curled up in my arms, purring, with your tiny paw on my arm and so happy to be with me.

Over the years we grew closer and closer - you were the best cat anyone could ever hope for. You would sit in my lap all day if you could, looking up at me with your love and big green eyes, only wanting me to love you back. Everyone who met you said that you were the sweetest cat they had ever met. You made many converters out of non-cat people due to your sweet, uninhibited and unconditional love.

In May of 1998, when your Vet told me that you had a very large malignant tumor in your tummy, I didn't want to believe it. After the surgery, I didn't believe that you only had a few months to live, while going through chemo. I really thought that you would beat the odds - you are only 12 and I couldn't believe that I could loose you so soon.

The chemo added 4 months to your life, of which many of the days you were the happy Diego I've known and loved for so many years.

Last Monday, I finally had to make the decision to let you get out of your suffering. After all the chemo, lung taps, pills, etc., my friends and your Vets told me it was the best possible thing I could do for you. I had to be there with you, as your little head lay on my arm so heavily on the way to the Vet. As we went into the room, you looked up at me with those big green eyes and showed me how tired you were of continuing to try. The fluid in your lungs was making it too hard for you to breathe and unable to sleep or eat. I stroked you gently as your Vet gave you the final injection that brought you to ever lasting peace.

I keep thinking how unfair it was for you to have had to leave this earth so soon. It's only been 6 days and I miss you terribly. I'm starting to think that maybe because you were such a special cat that you left this world early. It's so hard for me because I am left behind with only my memories of you - while you moved on to a life of rainbows, beauty, fields, and where all dreams come true. I love you Diego - I will see you in the future and look forward to being together with you again. You are one very special kitty.

Patti

To my Diesel boy: I love you and am missing you terribly. I just want to touch one more time and hug you and tell you never to leave. I wish it could have been a lifetime with you, but God had other plans for you and I will see you again someday. Please don't forget me because I will never forget you. You were my furchild before I had children and you always seemed to cheer me up no matter what. Diesel you cried with me and laughed with me and were always there to listen. Now I cry and long for you to be with me again. I remember when I first brought you home and bottle fed you. You were so cute! You slept with me and went everywhere with me. How I wish I could take you places again. Mommy loves you and misses you Diesel. I hope to soon have your web page done Diesel so that I can share the love that you shared with me. Take care my sweet boy as I will see you again.

Love Mommy

Diego was a very special friend who taught those who crossed his path the most valuable of all lessons, that of unconditional love. The world was a better place for his presence. He will be missed greatly.

Mary DeLaCour

Digit,
My sweet little Digit. I can't imagine a day without you.  We grew up together and you were such a big part of me.  
I'll remember our trips together, our quiet times and our long talks. You listened when I needed you. They say it's going to stop hurting but I don't know when. I miss you so much and my heart feels so empty. I'll see you everyday and every night in my dreams. I wanted to hold you and be with you in the end, but God had another plan. Good Bye Sweetie!!!  
I love you more than I could ever express in words.  
Find Cashmire baby, she's there waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.  
I'll see again one day! Now go lay in the sun and be happy!
Love You,
Tish

My darling little black-eyed pea, you have been gone for exactly two years now, and I miss you more than ever.
I think of you every day, and often feel your comforting presence.
Wait for me at the Bridge, and promise to be a good little boy. Stick up for yourself, and don't let the big doggies bully you. I promise to bring you lots of jerky treats and chicken skins. I can't wait to kiss you on that wet little nose.

Mommy and Daddy

Dinah came to us following a terrible windstorm on Labor Day She was a tiny mite, filled with fleas and ear mites and love that was bigger than she was. She weighed only 3 pounds.

Today (Wednesday) we sent her to the Bridge because of a birth defect which had her in incredible pain. We only had a very short time with her but she lives on in our hearts.

A sweet dog that did not deserve to die the way he did.

I will miss you Dingo, with all my heart. When I look up at the heavens in the daytime, I will see you sitting upon the clouds. When I look up at the heavens at night, I will see you among the stars. I love you Dingo. With all my love, Aunt Patty

Dinky was a wonderful loyal dog. We always did things together and he was a gift to our daughter when she was eight years old. Now she is an adult and her love for Dinky is till there. We all will miss him very much. Dinky we will still keep your playthings and other items that will remind us of you. Your kind heart was always there. Your little nose and paws and your licks to our face was always a bright part of the day. We love you and will always keep you in mind.

Dale and Miho

Our sweet, precious Dino Bean, you were the first Beanie Baby ever, and the Beaniest! We loved you beyond measure, as you loved us, and will strive to honor your noble spirit and huge heart every day we have left. Your Selkie is lonesome for you and will be joining you all too soon, but we're trying to make every day we have with him as wonderful as possible, as wonderful as it should have been for you. Your Mommy misses you desperately. Please keep visiting in dreams, bouncing and joyful and free from suffering. Stay with precious Samute so he knows he's part of our pack, as he should have been all along. Samutey boy, teddy bear face, you should never have suffered, sacrificial lamb, please forgive us for not rescuing you from that awful place much sooner. We loved you so much, sweet doggie, you deserved a lifetime of love and happiness. Romp happily with the Bean forever, free from pain and one with Love.

Jim, Annie and Chandra

Dodgie, You were one of the great loves of my life. I can't believe we only had 7 years together. You were my best friend and protector. I felt so safe with you. Now that you're gone, there is so much emptiness. A part of me died with you. I miss those wet kisses you were always giving me. I miss watching the kids dressing you up and trying hard to put barrettes in your hair. I miss you following me around and always wanting to be pet. For as long as I live, I will never forget you baby! I always bragged about how smart you were, like wiping those feet off before coming in the house. You made me laugh when I'd tell you to go get Daddy and you would! I wish we could have had some kind of warning. I know you were on your way back to me when it happened. I'm am so glad I was there. I could never forgive myself if I hadn't. I love you baby!!

My beloved Dixie was 17 1/2 years old when she died on Thursday while I held her and kissed her head and told her how much I loved her. She had been with me since she was six weeks old. She was a beautiful cat, black and orange and white. She loved giving kisses and would eat whatever I was eating. I loved her so much and miss her terribly.

Angela Edmonds

Dixie was so special to us, such a big part of our family and so much more than a dog to us. She is deeply missed and will forever have a special place in our hearts.

Steve, Diane and Dan

Dixie was my granddaughter-dog and a very gallant girl she was. My son, Michael Waterman, found her wandering in a vacant lot when she was a tiny pup and raised her with an amazing amount of love ever since. In recent years she became paralyzed in her rear legs and Michael, her human daddy, had a metal cart made that she wore whenever they went walking or when she went to frolic in the doggy park. She had to be put down today and all our hearts are broken. She was a wonderful girl and deserves to be remembered in this tribute.

Michael Waterman

DJ was the oldest and most special of my three dogs. I brought her from England in 1987. She was black with white chest and white feet, and her unique ears earned her the nickname "The Flying Nun."  
She was very intelligent and loving, always appearing aware of my moods. When I went through my divorce, she was there for me.  
Her last few years were spent living contentedly with my partner and his two cats, plus a Basenji brought with her from England and a young mixed breed adopted a couple of years ago.  
Memorial Day weekend she suffered through seizures. Diagnosed with lymphoma, unable to eat or drink, she was put to rest on June 3rd. She will never be forgotten. She will always be very much loved. I hope she has found a place to run and play until we are again reunited.

Kristina Marzano

My beautiful, intuitive, fun-loving intelligent friend. How I miss you even after all these years. No human was ever as loyal and caring as my beautiful Dobie. She was my joy and my comfort; my friend and confidante. She never judged, never chastised; always loved always tried to please.  
My tears will never dry.  
Vale my old friend, you are always in my thoughts.

Sylvia Gartland

Doc was a beautiful grey and white cat he was a stray that we worked on for a year before he would allow us to touch him we feed him 2 or three times a day faithfully and to our surprise he finally allowed us to pet him one day that was about 8 months ago. But much to my horror today on my way home from finals I saw him laying at the end of my road not moving I stopped the car to see if it was him and sadly it was. The lady that had hit him was just getting out of her car she told me that she had just done it a few minutes ago it makes me wonder if I had gotten there a little earlier would I have been able to prevent this form happening? Probably not but I just want him to know that he was and still is loved dearly by my family and he will be missed greatly. He was a great cat and he trusted us enough to bring us a kitten that looked just like him- spitting image- he wanted us to take care of him and that is what we will do for you my sweet sweet Doc. God bless and rest in peace

Nicky

Doddie was very happy and always wanted to protect his master...

He often was curious about things and had to investigate..

I will always remember: If I wanted him to come, all I had to do was knock on the door and he would be there...

I have a place in my heart for him and that will be forever...

GOODBYE DODDIE AND I AM VERY SORRY......

Brian Hartman

My sweet loving girl, you comforted me in the worst of times, and played in the joyous. I will forever miss your comfort and love. Though you were supposed to have died when you were very young, you came through and provided me with a love that can never be replaced. Your image will be in my heart and pull at my strings at times. I love you and will always have you in my thoughts for comfort.

Colleen Patterson

My beautiful, 14 year old Saluki mix, Dolce, is gone. In her youth, she was the fastest runner and the highest jumper in the "dog park." She was my constant companion for 14 years. We went everywhere and shared everything together. We'll love her forever and miss her horribly. Eternal love, your family, Jill, Shep, Aurora, Sidra and Marlon

She was a very special cat and like a part of the family is gone today.

Donna

For Dolly and Sue

It doesn't rain very often in
southern California, but it rained  
that day.  
You don't see many rainbows,  
but we saw a perfect rainbow  
that day.  
It wasn't sunrise.  
It wasn't noon.  
It was sunset.  
The sky was pink and blue and  
gold and rainbowed, just so.  
They say such things happen  
in the lottery of events.  
I say one may doubt even  
coincidence.

In memory of my most beloved canine friend, Dominique.
So intelligent, well trained and courageous until the end.
Know that I love you very much Dominique and trust that I made the right decision for you to pass on.
It was never easy for you these past 3 years and you were such a trooper thru it all.

I expect to see you somewhere, sometime in the future!
You and I were far too close and connected to never see each other again!

The bond you share with your animal is not explainable, only felt.

For My Cat Domino
I truly believe my Domino was a gift from God. Although I have always loved animals, I was having a hard time deciding on whether or not to get a pet. I had never had a cat before. One day I made a comment that "I wish one would just come to me" and when I came home from work, a scrawny little black and white kitten had found it's way into the entry way of my apartment building and the door was locked behind him. I tried (not very hard) to find out where he had come from but I knew he was meant for me. He arrived flea ridden and scratched up but after a few baths and lots of love, he became the most beautiful cat I've ever seen. Everyone who saw him would remark on how beautiful he was. He had perfect tuxedo markings and an unusual personality. I would take him to local cat shows and he never failed to win a ribbon. At one show, he was even given a special award, created just for him, for "most personality." He wasn't a show cat by any means, I just enjoyed taking him to charity sponsored events and showing him off. Everyone knew Domino. Domino would greet me at the door every day when I came home and give me "kitty kisses". He would actually wait for me to pick him up so he could lick me on the nose. He even could say "momma". People had to hear it to believe it but he had a special meow when he was looking for me that sounded just like "momma"! His favorite food was corn on the cob. I would hold it up and he would eat it from side to side. He was definitely a momma's cat. He loved me more than anything. Last March, I took Dom to get his teeth cleaned and we found an advanced cancerous tumor growing in his mouth. You couldn't see it under normal circumstances and he had probably been sick for a long time. I am thankful that I didn't know as nothing could save him and I was able love him without sorrow until the very end. It was the type that spread very fast and I knew it was time to let him go. I could never let him suffer either from the cancer itself or the major surgery, chemo or reconstructive treatments that would only prolong his life a short while. I was with him at the end of his life and held him and kissed him as he traveled to the bridge. It has taken me a long time to submit this tribute. It is still very difficult to believe he is no longer with me. But times when I hear strange noises in the house, I know he is still with me somehow. There will never be another Domino. I miss him terribly. God gave him to me to love for seven wonderful years and the time came that God wanted him back. He lived a life full of love.

MS&DR

Once in everyone's lifetime,  
there will be a special pet  
that is loyal, and loving.

You'll cherish the time that  
he was with you, and remember  
the joy and laughter that you  
share with him.  

Donald was with us, but only  
for a too short a time.  
What we would not give to change  
the course of time, and to  
have him with us still.  

But everyone has their destiny,  
and Donald left us for a better place.  
Up in heaven, where he plays and  
roam freely, never a care in the world.  

We hope that he will understand  
how much we love him, and how  
much we miss him so......  

Donald, all of your sisters and us  
will always remember you in our mind.  
And we can't wait for the time when  
we all will meet again, forever.  

Love, always..

He was my best friend - when I fed him he gave me a kiss when I pet him he gave me a kiss when I gave him a treat he gave me a kiss. Whenever he saw me he gave me a kiss. I love him so much and I will never forget him.

In memory of the best little dog that I have ever known, Doodle Bug. Words cannot express how much you are loved and missed. I hope that you can feel it. I think of you every minute of every day. You have been such a wonderful part of my life. I was not ready to give you up. Thank you for loving me and for spending as much time as you could with me. I will never forget you and I look forward to the day that we can be together again. I love you. You are and will always be Mommy's baby dog.

Thank you.

Cathy

To my sweet baby girl cat who I miss very much even after four years. May she always have rainbows.

Marlene Greer

In memory of my beloved sweet boy - I will keep you in my heart forever. I miss you so much. I'll see you over the rainbow, sweetheart.

Laura

Dottie was the sweetest, most trusting dog I have ever known. All she asked for was your love and to sit quietly in your lap as long as you would let her. Her loss was very unexpected and she is deeply missed by all. I love you Dottie dog.

Stacie Beard

"Dreamer" was my first Ibizan Hound. He was the first variety title Ibizan Hound in the United States. He was unique. He was my "DeebeIB". He is & always will be missed by me & all his canie house brothers here in our home.

Dream Chaser "Chase" Thoroughbred died at 5 yrs of age My loving companion who was there for me when times were low and helped me live.. died all too young and unexpected. I miss you!!!

Courtney Chandler

A special remembrance for a special dog, Dreyfuss
The odds were stacked against you from the beginning sweet Dreyfuss with your furry loving face. You were never able to run and play like the other dogs, not even when you were a puppy. Though your body was always crippled and you would never be like the others you were loved so very much. Nobody could wish for a more faithful, loving, loyal dog than you. Sweet Dreyfuss, you didn't even make it to your 6th birthday and the end came so unexpectedly. You will always have a very special place in my heart and you will never be forgotten. We all miss you. With love from Fluffy, Punky, LittleBear, George, Gracie and me. Run and play now with Duke, Teddy, Teddy Bear and Benji. Give Grammie a big lick and wag of that big tail.

Pat Malloy

Dropshot who was the light of my life. Who taught me what it meant to care about another living thing. Who was there through thick and thin. I will always remember you and love you.

Your mother, Joyce.

He was only here for a short while but will be missed for the rest of my life. He was always happy and ready to jump in my lap for a hug and a kiss. Or to have a quick game of hide-n-seek.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glimmer on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift upwinging of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die...."

Jay Bruno

Came to us, fully-grown at only 5 pounds, a homeless, wet, desperate creature. We took her in and saved her life. She was happy and loved for six years with our family. We will miss you deeply, Dublin. We love you , very much! May your spirit rest peacefully.

Alicia, Dave, Alic & Dash

Today, October 6th, 1998, my very special companion and friend passed out of my life. I'm certain that those of you who have taken the time to get to this tribute know just how deeply my darling Duchess' loss is to me. It was exceptionally painful to make that last special trip with her but that is what mutual commitment is all about. I was there, with her at the end, doing together what I had always planned for in this event. The only food that would make my sweetie drool was peanut butter. She was licking some from my finger as the shot was administered. Her licking slowed, then stopped - and she was gone. Thank you, my trusted friend, for the fourteen and a half years we shared together. See you at the bridge!!!

Jim Banas

Give Mom a lick for me, I miss you both every day.

Hank,Launna,Hollee HayesSay

You were my very special friend...I adored you and I still miss you. I'll see you again my angel.

Elleny Naslund

If we are lucky, in our lives, we all get one great dog. Dudley was my great dog....today, 4 months since he left us, I still grieve, missing that wagging tail and special doggie personality that only he had. If could tell him anything at all, it would be the same words I told him everyday, and on December 15th 1997, as he slipped away from us: 'mommy loves her little Dudley do, mommy loves her Dudley do'. I hope he knows that I did not want to lose him and that we tried to do everything we could to save him, we just could not let him suffer.

Michelle Yamrick

A Poetic Thanks to Dudley

He arrived on Saturday in my home
With a sweet disposition and a real cute tone
He's brindle in color and frisky and all
Lot's of fun...we always had a ball

He is very cute, even if I might say
A scruffy little sort to make my day
Jumping and playing most of the time
Basic dog training was definitely in line.

His name was originally Binky - where he used to live
I was partial to Dudley, so that's the name I will give
I always looked forward to years of fun
Rompin and Stompin and having so much fun.

Oh Dudley, I say thanks to you
As you venture into your life anew
I know our friendship will forever last
I will always love you, even though you've passed.

P.S. I will miss you Dudley

To Ken in Heaven

My husband, please take care of our little "Duke." I know how much you loved him and I hope he is safe and happy with you.

Love,
Nona

Duke was the best dog any man could have. I miss and love him so much.
There will never be another friend like him.

Dave Rings

He was a sweet dog, that Mr. "eeook, eeook." Bye Duke, be good!

The Temkos

..Duke was an abandoned and neglected puppy with big sad eyes...he had Parvo when I took him to vet, he was very ill, I had to let him go over the Bridge...at least he knew he was loved and not alone at the end...... Duke, wait for me...the world owes you lots of hugs and I will make them up to you when I see you again...

Brandy has truly taught me to live for the moment. Our time together was far too short and I never had time to prepare for her loss. She was the baby of my fur family and I anticipated the older dogs to go first. I will never take any moments with my animals for granted again.

Celeste Hallmark & Emilio Gonzales

A true C.A.T.! You are deeply missed.

Karen Forman

He was so loved by everyone who knew him. And if anyone could follow us anywhere - even still - it is Duncan. I will see you again one day, Dunkie and I'll love you forever.

Dava Waite

In loving memory of Duncan, my furry boy, whose purr could be heard around the world. I miss you terribly. Nothing will replace you since you took everything with you. I hold you in my broken heart forever.

Jackie

Duppy was a Sweet, Loving and Giving little Guy. He had training to be a Therapy Dog, but died suddenly and unexpectedly before he could begin. He is missed and still loved by all

ML, myBob, Twist, Myste and Bumper

DurDur was my very special boycat who intruded unbidden into our lives and became my very fave cat of the gang...he and I had a special bond between human and feline; basically all he needed to make him happy was to be very near me...... he was beautiful with china blue eyes and always he smelled good, even up to the moment of his leaving this earth to head for the Rainbow Bridge to wait for me...it was so hard and I felt so bad to see him go, but my great comfort was that he was evidently not suffering at all when the time came to let him go. I did not have to send him off. He waits for me there and I will always look forward to seeing him and holding him again when at last the time does come.......you never know when it will be. God is watching over all of us, DurDur, and I feel He is not above scratching under a furry chin or stroking small ears for the Love of the small and helpless.................…

Sally Wilson

My beloved darling Dusque entered the rainbow bridge this morning. He was the most gentle, loving boy. He loved to play shadow games and waited patiently for me to sit down and spend time with him. Dusquue is a gift and a blessing. His death was unexpected and no words can express how much I love him and will miss him. Gentle, darling boy wait for me.

Joyce

Duster was a wonderful cat and I hope he has as much love where he is now as he did when he was home.

Laura

It has taken me a year to come here. last November I lost her. . So Dustie I miss you and will love you forever, but I am finally able to hear you . yes we saved quite a few this year, I never even heard of animal rescue. Now I am right in the middle of it . I guess you were trying to tell me all along. it wasn't until you brought copper to our doorstep. and I said to him did Dustie send you and I knew that moment that's why you left . But sending Jed was a test , right I mean 5 grand mal seizures in one night after fostering him for 2 days, I guess you were telling me . I can handle sick pets as well thank you for that. so . I will meet you at the bridge, Love you baby.

Kathy

Dustin, The pain is so much greater than I could have ever expected. I've already cried a river of tears, and they just keep flowing. I miss you so much....

Pattie Weaver

Dear Baron and Dustin Hauptfuerher, Please look after my baby Petey. Your mom and I send our love and prayers to you and look forward to the day we will all be together again. Until then, we will always keep you close in our hearts!

Cathy Hebrlee

Old man, I wonder where you are and what you do. Not just a pile of bones under three feet of soil. Not you. That wouldn't be your ending. But wherever you are, you are not with me. Even though I so much wish you were. Dusty, Cassole, Maestro, Emrys, I love you with so much of my heart that none of it is left. Nothing will ever take your place. I feel that I am incomplete, that nothing and no one could ever make me whole again. Except you. I hope you are at Rainbow Bridge. I love you. I still you love you best. And there were so many people that loved you. But none of them more than me.

Nikky Balfour

Dusty, you were the best friend anyone could wish for. You were no flashy thoroughbred or arab, we never knew where you came from and what your parents were. But you were so dependable, never moody, always willing and happy. I am so very sorry you could not be with me for another ten years and grow old fat and happy. I am so sorry I had to let you go. Please wait for me somewhere out there, I miss you so much my dustbucket, your stable is still waiting.

Heidi Dieckmann

Dusty, my love-I'll miss you forever. When I sent you to God, along with you went my heart. I loved you so much, you were such a great friend, gentleman, gentle soul, and companion. I miss my baby, my friend, my love, my canine soul mate. Wait for me, Dust, we'll be together again someday, forever. I miss holding you, kissing your brow, scratching your belly...take care, baby, I love you! Candy & Buddy miss you too.

-Mommy

Dusty (Pear) was an amazing dog. Due to the values my parents had adopted toward animals from their native country and our socioeconomic level she couldn't have much. But she always gave back to us 100%. I watched her grow from a timid puppy to a playful, loyal, and content dog. She grew up with me and accompanied me through my enduring teen years. I wanted to finish my schooling on time to take care of her. But she developed diabetes during the fall of 1997 due to being fed table scraps. As time passed she went from an overweight dog to being emaciated. With each return home I made from school I noticed more health problems develop. I knew that she had progressed to a stage where her only solution was euthenasia. I wish I had the resources to provide for her. She will be deeply missed.

My Beloved Dusty:
My heart is still broken now that you are gone. The pain eases a little but never goes away. I think of you and pray for you everyday. I hope one day we will be together again. Until that time please know we will always love you.

I love you and miss you so terribly much. I hope you are at peace. and please wait for me at the bridge. I promise to never forget you.

Heather Elliott

Dusty,
It's been two years now and I think of you every day. You were and still are my best friend and I miss you all of the time. I know I shouldn't still cry when I think of you, but I do. In fact I'm crying now as I write this. How I wish you were still here to wash away my tears as you so often did. I know deep in my heart that you are once again the playful pup that I fell in love with so many years ago. Be at peace, my dear wonderful friend. I'll see you again one day.

Cathy

Dusty, you were the worst looking bunny I ever saw scrunched up against the side of a fish tank shared with a guinea pig. I could see your ribs, your fur was all chopped off, and one ear was lop and the other was flipped all the way on the other side of your head. I could see the white of your eyes you were so afraid and I knew I couldn't leave you there. We all adored you and laughed as you peeked out of a box at us while we were playing Scrabble on the floor. You and your bunny friend Flip loved to snuggle together and take naps under my office desk. You loved your pellets and parsley and carrot tops and I could tell you were going to be quite a climber. I'm so glad I had the chance to kiss you on the forehead and sing to you and pet your gorgeous gray ears. Your beautiful soft fur was starting to grow in and we wondered if you would really grow up to be 15 lbs like the guy in the petstore said. We'll never know as you died only 20 days later but I'm grateful for every one of those 20 days with you Dusty Bunny. I'll always be sorry I couldn't find an emergency vet who would see you that night and I will never forget the way you looked at me as you were dying. I'm so sorry Dusty Bunny. I love you so much my baby bunny girl.

She was a fighter until the end. We miss her and love her still. Her Boots misses her too.

Love,
Mom, Dad, Chucky, and her grieving hubby Boots
Dr. Langford, and all the tecs at Somers Pt Vet Hospital

My friend and companion. She always had kisses and love for everyone. Dusty will be sorely missed. There will be an emptiness.

A Good Friend - A Loyal Friend - I Miss Her

Dennis R Nichols

We miss you so much Dutchess. You definitely lived up to your name. We will meet again to cross the Rainbow Bridge together. We love you, Mom & Dad

My Dutchess died from liver disease and a case of hepatitis this year and made her journey to the bridge. If we didn't know she was sick, we would have never been able to tell. It all happened so fast. We took her to the vet after noticing her vomiting alot. She had to stay in the hospital overnight for lots of tests and when we got the call telling us the news of her illness we were hysterical. The vet told us that she is fine for now and they would give her medicine to help, but her fate is destined. One day she would go into liver failure and that would be the end. I never thought that day would come. I hate the fact that it has. Dutchy's appetite soon disappeared, she didn't want to play, was constantly getting water drained out of her (one time it was 4 liters!), and was on so many different medicines on and off. One day she just got so bad. She had the most water in her that was ever present. The vet drained her, and later found out they took a little too much out. That didn't really matter. What mattered was that her time had come. She was soon to be gone to that wonderful place in the sky. We took her back to the vet to get an i.v. going to try to re-hydrate her. We tried our hardest to keep her here. That week alone we paid more than $300 to keep her here. She wasn't in any pain though. My parents slept downstairs with her to keep her company and to watch that she didn’t knock out the i.v. from her leg. The next morning I got ready for school, knowing that when I came home, my best friend would be gone. I didn't want to go with though. When I left my mom seemed sure she would be ok and last a little while longer, but I wasn't. It was so scarey!! I said good-bye to my friend that morning, it was the last time I saw her. I gave her a hug and a kiss and prayed for her the whole bus ride to school. (I am starting to cry now :o) ) When I came home, I just sat and waited for my parents and sister to come home. I heard the garage door and got a sick scared feeling. I opened the door and my mom walked in not saying anything. I then saw my dad and knew right away he had been crying. That was when I knew she had gone, they had put her down. I immediately started to cry at first and got hysterical yelling "Where is she? Why did you do that? Why!!??" Later on I knew it was best for her. The vet said that we could have brought her home for about 2 more days until the rest of her organs would shut down, and then put her to sleep. We decided against that. I don't understand why. She was so young! I still cry when I think about my baby. I loved her so much! And I hope one day I can meet her at the rainbow bridge and she will remember me!! I LOVE YOU DUTCHY!! PLEASE DON'T FORGET ME! I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME FOR ALL THE THINGS I HAVE DONE WRONG! I SHOULD HAVE SPENT MORE TIME WITH YOU AND NOW I AM REALIZING JUST HOW MUCH YOU REALLY DID MEAN TO ME. I LOVE YOU!

P.S. wait for me and meet me at the bridge!

No-one can ever take your place, little man. We all miss you very much.

Dylan,
You always did everything right. You never chewed up my shoes or messed on the floor. You protected me with your bark and snuggled with me when I was feeling sad. You were the best.  
You were with us for seven years. I had to let you go because I knew you were in pain, I did not want you hurting.  
Our home feels so empty without you. We love and miss you so very much.
