1999 Tributes

Jabber thru Jung

Jabbie-

My dear, sweet and kind boy.
You taught Hairy so much about love, trust, fun, and strength. You shared my life in ways that noone else ever will and were a wonderful little buddy always.

I am missing the things you did while your health was good, and thank you for the many vivid memories you gave me.
I regret that I did not have more time with you when you most needed me. I am missing you being constantly with me and always at the foot of my bed. I am missing seeing you at ever turn and hearing you everywhere.

I love you now, as always, and hope that you can enjoy the new life you have. I am thankful for the gift of friendship that you gave me for more than ten years.

Until we meet again... I love you, my little hoggy-buddy.

Jack was a SPCA adoption dog and he was some sort of a cross w/some sort of a terrier! He lived almost 19 years and was a real little terror. I'm sure he thought he was a cat for most of those years. I had to let him go but he will always sleep in my heart. I named him for the dog in Little House in the Prairie. He was my first dog as an adult and got me through some of the hardest times of my life just by being there and acting crazy. He was 11 pounds of dynamite and I'll always hold him dear.

Betsi Greene

Jack was cute, funny, and very loyal. He showed up on my doorstep not long after my husband left and from that day on, he was always there when we needed him. His vision was always bad, but that never stopped him from doing what he wanted to do. He traveled the country in the back window of the car, more excited to go than any of my human children. He cruised the neighborhood for one last time yesterday, and died last night in the arms of his "boy", Nick. His death was mercifully quick. The last thing he felt was the gentle touch of the boy who loved him so much.

Bette and Nicholas

Godspeed my beloved friend, my constant companion. You will be sorely missed.

Bonnie MacDougall

You were my constant sidekick-I will miss you-"Jackie-Joe-Jim"

Val, Larry, and John

Jackie was always a great pet. She made me happy when I was sad and now that she is gone, there is nothing that makes me happy anymore. Her death has saddened me more than I ever would have imagined. She had Addison's disease which was why she died. I only had her for four years, but they were some of my most joyous years. If only she could have been around a little longer. I'll miss so much from her. I know that now, she is in a good place where she will not suffer from anymore from that disease.

Nathaniel

To a good friend. We will miss you

Love

Kyle, Mum and dad and Brothers

I would give my house, my job, and my car to have him back. May the lord bless him and keep him, and know that we loved him.

Tamara

Our golden dog with golden heart was truly Love on a Leash. We will miss you, beloved Eel, but we know you'll come running when we reach the bridge. Have fun at the dog party until then. We will always love you, Jack.

The Szalinski Family

"Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
In the forests of the night.
What immortal hand or eye
Dared frame thine awesome symmetry?"

In loving memory of Jackson and all our small house "tygers" that we have lost.

Elizabeth Bustamante

In 3 1/2 years of life he gave 12 years of love. Every day he made me proud to be his owner.

Marianne Lewis

Jackson
My buddy, I love you, I miss you. Wait for me at the bridge.

Ann Sawyer

Dear Jadey Bear:
bI will love and miss you eternally my silly little muffin-head. I will always hold your memory in that special place inside of me where you used to stare so deeply. I still can't believe you are gone from this Earth. If only I could hold you one more time...

Mommy

One blue eye and one brown eye was the characteristic I looked for when I searched for a puppy 13 years ago. More than my pet, you were my first child. Losing you was losing a part of me and although it's two years later, it is still so hard for me. I'll never know a love like the love you unconditionally gave to me. The level of devotion you had for me was so great that I can't conceive ever getting that from another animal as long as I live. You were almost human; weeping real tears right along side me whenever I came to tears myself. I wish so often that you were still in my life and so often struggle without you. I will never forget you, Jade. Please be at peace wherever you are.

Laura Esancy

Jadie our beautiful loving furbaby. Thank-you for being our loving purring friend. For being there for us to take care of, and for taking care of us. For loving us and allowing us to love you. For putting up with Andrea chasing you and dressing you up in her dolls outfits. We will miss your licks and snuggles. You always gave us unconditional love. We will miss your warm little body on the bed next to ours at night, the sound of your deep little meows, the little dance you would do, before you would settle down on our laps. Dad will especially miss the way you would lay on his chest and sleep at night. I will miss your cute little head on my pillow at night. We hope you know how much we all loved you our little furry friend. You were taking from us so suddenly. But rest now my little Jadie, for someday we will see you again..You will never be forgotten...YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS. Please don't worry about your sister Jasmine. She was so dependent on you, and you were such a good sister. We will continue to love her and take good care of her..She will be just fine.. We love you Jadie.

Mari and David Spence

Jager, I'm so sorry that you couldn't live a longer life. You were a very special dog to me. Your now out of misery and I will miss and love you forever. It's goodbye for now but we will meet again over the Rainbow Bridge.

Mike Teller

He was my best friend...and if he could have told my secrets I would have had to come to this page long ago.

Brad

Jake, I hope you know how much you are missed. We miss hearing your feet across the floor, seeing your happy face when we came home. The house is so quiet without you but we know you are in a better place free of the pain and discomfort you suffered this past year. It was the hardest decision we ever made so please forgive us we did what we felt was in your best interest. We love and miss you.

Jeff, Jill, Chera, Kyle, Corey and Tucker

I lost my best friend on Friday October 30 to someone who had no regard for anything or anyone. After seeing my dog suffer for 3 days I took him to the vet. We found out that his liver was causing the problem and that he was very very sick. After going through all the possible tests that we could do it came down to the fact that someone had fed him something toxic. This caused the toxin to throw his enzymes level completely out of wack. Need less to say, he did not survive. Jake was going to be 3 in December. We was a healthy happy dog that loved everyone he came into contact with. He was 160lbs of blockhead love. And I will miss the little guy forever. Please honor my baby with the others that have passed. I appreciate this and having this place to come to and share my feelings.

Faith Patrick

My precious Jake was intentionally killed by deer hunters on Thanksgiving Day, 1997. I cannot get over losing him. He was the best dog ever. I miss the smell of his fur. I miss him nuzzling me in be in the mornings. I miss his sense of humor and how he would lick my tears when I cried. I have a huge hole in my heart where my Jake used to be.

Don Feldstein

Jamie,
You were my best friend and pet, what will I do without you. Thank you for so many years of joy.

It's better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all.

Your family misses you.

Derek Melhuish

Jammin,

"There's no beginning, they'll be no end, cuz on my Love you can depend."

at the Rainbow Bridge

Sun

Jarod,
I am so sorry you had to die the way you did. I truly hope you can forgive me someday. I miss you terribly. I think of you everyday constantly. I am sorry I had to ""replace"" you also. I didn't replace you yourself, just the hamster. This one is truly not Jarod. I don't call him that just so you know. Denise did notice, but I didn't have the heart to tell her that the dogs got you. I blame myself 110%. Why didn't I come out when I heard the dogs. I am just so sorry. You are now with Dylan in Hamster heaven. I don't think they will put you in cat heaven. If you see Kitt, Taylor or Valerie please tell them we miss them terribly as well. Good-bye Jarod. I love you and miss you so much sweetie.

Brenda Kuchta

Jasmine, My dearest and best friend:

With your passing a few days ago, I have lost my very closest and dearest friend. If there was ever a definition of un-conditional love and devotion, you certainly were it. You had an absolute endless capacity for getting and giving love. You were at your happiest when we were together, whether it was our long daily walks or just getting belly rubs before bed. You were always more content being with me than being alone. Your sweet disposition and cute face always made me melt. I could watch you sleep for hours, you were so cute...

I hope you had a great life here, you always had plenty of fresh water, food, lots of love, walks, and belly rubs. I will never forget how excited and happy you would get when it was walk time, you always made it real clear when that was! I will always miss the sound of your nails on the wood floors, and your ritual of getting a cookie just before bed time. I hope you are at peace now and comfortable. You are missed beyond what words can describe.

I only hope I can provide the level of love and devotion to others in my life that you provided to me.

Love,
Dad

Jasmine your passing was so unexpected I'm so sorry. We loved you much. You were such a beautiful dog, and a wonderful friend. You will never be forgotten. I can only pray that I may someday see you again. I love you.

Your mommy Jolie

I will never forget you. You where so much a part of my life, that, that space will never be filled again. I will always miss you, and carry you in my heart. Jasmine you where always my friend, you where always there for us.

dickt

My little boy, it isn't fair and I miss you so much.

Catherine

To our beloved son, Jasper: You came into our lives when you were four days old: a "speckled"/dappled little hotdog laying in our palms; THE pick of the litter; one of two litter-survivors. We adored you the second we saw you, and a forever-bond was formed. Ill as an infant, I was so afraid we'd lose you before you were weaned and ready to come home to us; but, you were strong and survived and came home--and you positively changed our lives forever. Every single human who saw you was amazed by your beauty and presence, from your vets to the Dr.s at the hospital and everyone in between. We'd share with them our own amazement upon meeting you at four days old. We'd TRY to express our deep feelings of pride and love toward you. We'd TRY to express how blessed we felt that you were in our family and lives. Remember how you always slept on Daddy's tummy when you were a baby? He loved it! Remember how you were our "tooger boy," never allowing us to kiss without you being in the middle, getting your own fair share of physical and soul-felt affection? We loved it! Remember how you'd playfully growl, sounding very much like a large bumble bee, creating the most delightful musical sound I've ever heard in my entire life? I loved it! And, remember how you'd run circles around your bigger-than-you cat-sister, Phylicia Lee Long, nose-poking her ears and bottom, while Daddy'd say, "Give kitty tooger!"? She hated it; we loved it! (I hope you two are doing just that right now!) Remember looking up and discovering clover blossoms in the field and deciding they were the most wonderful things in the world? You'd pick one by the stem and run and romp with it in your mouth, experiencing the ultimate of a joy-filled life. Daddy and I are SO grateful to have the pictures of that; YOU, Daddy and I loved it! I recently picked out the flowers for you grave; I'll plant them this fall. They're diminutive, blue and beautiful. Your body and all around it will be lovely next spring--though, of course, that beauty will be but a small fraction of yours. The pretty (Daddy's gift) spring-flowered shirt I wore during the last hours of your life and during your death has been washed (NOT destained!), folded and put away; I'll NEVER wear it again. It's sacred. You came into our lives when you were four days old, a dappled, little hotdog laying in our palms. A forever bond was formed. You left our lives at nine-years-old, a dappled, little hotdog laying in our arms. Missing you is agony. We loved and treasured you every single hour of all our days of all nine years we were blessed with your presence. We agonizingly mourn every single hour of all our days until we're all together again. Meet me on THE BRIDGE, My Love, my wonderful, precious son, Jasper. Forever Yours,

Mommie

My special black cat

Lori Martinez

A tribute to a much loved cat who tended to over-dramatize routine things. We miss you "Jazzer". You will never be forgotten. Until we meet again....

Dawn

Jazz, you will always be remembered by myself and everyone who knew you. You were very, very special to me. Putting you to sleep was the hardest thing in the world I had to do. But, knowing how sick you were, I couldn't let you suffer. I will never forget the look on your face as you passed on, you still had the smile that you always had. It made me feel so much better knowing how content you were, purring and all. Jazz, I love you with all my heart and will someday meet you at the bridge and my lap will be for you once again.

Kathy Self

I couldn't stand the awful empty feeling when the love of my life, Jazz died. He was the most beautiful pug ever and he gave me more love and happiness than I believed was possible. His death was sudden and unexpected. Losing him devastated me, I wanted only to join him. My mother (although I am a grown woman)couldn't stand to see me this way, She searched all over and found a male pug puppy. I used to sit by my Jazz's grave (he's buried among the wildflowers in parent's backyard in the country) and cry for hours with my new little puppy licking the tears away. D.J. worked so hard at getting into my heart, I regret that I made it so difficult. He never gave up, it was as though Jazz had sent him to comfort me. A few months later I got a pretty little female pug, Now almost 2 1/2 yrs. and two litters later Jazz's legacy to us has been not only to give us love and memories for a lifetime, but to share the wonder of unconditional love with a few deserving and carefully chosen loving families. I thank God every day (and Jazz) for bringing me another chance at happiness. To my Jazz, you will be forever loved and never forgotten. Don't give up on me I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

In Loving Memory of Jazz Beau Dancer

(Jazz's Family)

The best little dog and friend I could ever ask for. I will miss her dearly.

Joy

J.C., or as she was more formally known as Joe's Cat, lost a valiant struggle with FeLV. During the few months that she was with us, she made us laugh, made us think and ultimately made us cry. She will be missed by Joe, JOC, Romeo, and all of her friends at Ventura County Animal Regulation.

Joe E. Jumpsohi

We all miss our beloved pet.
I used to go roller blading with him all the time.

Jessica Halvorson

JD was only 2 and stricken w/ incurable Cancer, but he brought more joy and smiles...than can be imagined to our lives...I rescued him from a life on the streets and I believe he felt forever indebted. JD will be greatly missed and will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. A day does not go by, 6 months later, that I do not think of you. I miss you, love mom.

Marina..

I miss you and so does Grady. I even wrote an English paper about you and how much I love you. I know you're with your sister and your mother and your other family. All of us will be together again at some point. Love Shannon

I made a tribute Web Page to her HREF="http://members.tripod.com/~JohnSasser/index-2.html Please visit.

John Sasser

I already am having a candle lit for my best friend on Monday, April 13th, however, I would like a special word said for him.
He was an amazing dog. Together we battled cancer, lumps and bumps and much more. He was with me before my husband and children and was always by my side. I am an empty shell now - just wandering around my home, going through the motions. He was my best friend, confident, son. I gave him the best give of all, eternity. To run, jump, play and frolick. He gave me the best gift also. Love, patience, respect and loyalty. Please say a special word for my baby. He was 15-1/2 when he crossed the bridge last Friday, April 10th at 2:15. I know he's in heaven, waiting for me. A kind word will help me in my healing.

Thank you,

Karen

I am submitting this tribute for and in remembrance of my wonderful friend and companion, Jeffery. He was killed on 01.23.98 in a very extreme auto wreck that involved Jeffery and I . I was driving at nite, approx 3/4 of a mile away from my home, when a truck driver with an unmarked empty flatbed, illegally was backing across my lane of travel. I have no recall of the crash and suffered multiple fractures. It was not until I regained consciousness two days later , in a hospital bed, that I was told that Jeffery was killed. I don't remember anything. It was a regular trip to the local general store, Jeffery loved to ride in the car! He came with me that evening, while my son stayed home, watching TV. It is the worst feeling, not knowing or remembering. My son was also very attached to Jeffery. Jeffery was just turning 3 years old. Why? I very much appreciate that this site is available for all who feel close to our animal friends. Thank you . Julie Martin REST,JEFFERY. WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE OUR ANGEL FOREVER....2-24-95 THRU 1-23-98

Julie Martin

Dear Jell-o, We miss you very much. 18 years was not enough time with you. We will see you again. We love you Mom and Dad

We miss you terribly. You were a wonderful pet and our hearts are heavy without you.

Susan

Jenna, you lived a long and wonderful life, and you deserve to be at peace now. Jasper and Fudgie are waiting for you, with open arms and purring smiles. Take care of each other. you are all very much loved ...and ..missed. You will never be forgotten.

Ruby Basner and Cathy Tulis

Dear "Missy J. Girl": We were so lucky to have met you, my daughter. By chance, we lived across the street from the shelter in which you lived. At age 13, we saw the spunk in your step as we walked you with a pack of other dogs. We had decided to volunteer for what must have been a greater reason: to meet you. When you walked the first time with Susan, and she took you back to your home, a woman was on the steps waiting to have a look at you. She wanted a small companion dog to take home. Then she said "Right size, just too old." From that point on, we knew what had to be done. Never a thought to the landlord, Sam, where "no dogs were allowed". Never a thought to Millie and Eleanor, if they would like you. (And Susan never really had a discussion with Kimberly to see if it was okay that you came and stayed!) And it magically all worked out. You were meant to be our daughter-dog. You blessed our life for three years. You had many lives before us; living on the streets and with your original owner of many years that had to get rid of you at age 12 but a life we will never know -- we only know you had a wonderful life with us during your last three years on earth. You never looked for pity, you were always courageous, always spunky. You were a sniffer, and would contemplate life as you smelled the air. You loved carrots and had your favorite meal on the night you passed on to your next life. We are so glad we got to know you and open our home for your "retirement". We are so glad you slept with us every night. We miss you, but accept that you had to move on. We are honored to have known you, our first dog-daughter, and your memory will be close to our heart always, just like your spunky step. You were such a brilliant little lady! We know you have impressed everyone in heaven by adapting so quickly and being such a survivor!

Susan & Kimberly

I was driving home from picking up meds at the vet's and thinking of a song... 'I want to go when my life is over, I want to go when my work is done, I want to go where the Light comes from.' When I got home, Jenny had gone. I'm sure she wanted me to know she was going to 'where the Light comes from.'

Gail Pietrzyk

One of my two best friends, her sister and I will miss her very much. See you someday on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Charles Fogarty

Jerbie was my special friend. He was my first pet when I moved out on my own. He has been with me for 11 years. We did alot of traveling together. He lived in De., Colorado, then back to De, then N.J. and he died in Denver, Co.  
He loved the outdoors and fresh air. He enjoyed sitting on my balcony.  
His favorite treat was the juice from tuna...but he never liked the meat. :)  
He slept with me at night...we shared my pillow. He loved to have his nose rubbed.  
I miss him alot. I hope he is in a better place with lots of friend and juice from cans of tuna.  
I love you Jerbie. You are missed very much.

Vickie

Jeremiah was the love of our life. He was a true delight to everyone he made contact with. We will miss him dearly. We trust he is in a better place and is happy.

Robert Fleming

I never imagined the hole in my heart that was made when Jeremiah died. I knew I would miss him but I never knew it would be so bad. He was my bud. He picked us for his family when he was six weeks old. He had babies chew on him, he let babies learn how to walk with his aid, and he never complained. He always was there when I had a bad day. He was always there checking on the kids when they played. He was their big brother and my son. When he was eight he was diagnosed with cancer. We knew we wouldn't have long with him and we wondered how we would know when to say enough. The lord took that wonder away one morning. We had just lost Grandpa Carlson two days before and we woke up to find Jeremiah bleeding from the nose and struggling to breath. I had a feeling that we wouldn't have to make that hard choice, that it was just made for us. The vet confirmed our fears and told us Jeremiah wouldn't be coming home. I went to the vets and held my baby in my lap and he knew it was time too. He kissed me goodbye when he took his last breath. He climbed into my lap and laid his head on my lap nine years before when he chose our family and he layed in my lap when he left. I still tear up when I think about him. When I see another golden on the streets I think about him. I thank him for so many great years of love and friendship. We buried a picture of Jeremiah in Grandpas casket four days later. In my heart I believe that Jeremiah is up in heaven with Grandpa Carlson waiting for the day when he can be with us again.

The Robison Family

Farewell faithful friend. You are missed.

Frank M. Moorman

My dear friend Jerry: I will love you forever and I will never forget the love and happiness you gave me. May the Four Winds blow you safely home, my sweet little hippie kitty. When you meet your namesake, Jerry Garcia the person, tell him "Meow!" for me! Both of you will live forever in my heart.

I'll end this tribute with some lyrics that the human Jerry used to sing: "Fare you well, fare you well/I love you more than words can tell/Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul..."

Vince Prygoski

"...let there be songs to fill the air!"
-Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia

Jersey was a very big, very black, very smart and very special dog who is still greatly missed even after four years.

The Barrett family

I miss you terribly even after all this time.. I'm thinking of you all the time.. I have your Mother still and she is 9 years old..
I also Have a New brother for you to meet.. One day My Lil man we will all be together. I love you! Man.

Mommy Jnet

Beach Boy Jesse we love you so much. But also miss you so much. I don't know what I would have done without you. But now I know what it feels like without you. I hope you won't get upset because we got another dog. But you'll always be in my heart. You were the best dog in the whole world. I will always miss you and love you so much.

Your best friend

Matt

To "The Jess" --you were one of a kind Jess -- a dog only a mom could love with your jumping and all around craziness and I sure do love and miss you. Know that I will think of you and miss you every day. You were my baby. With love hugs and kisses from your mom.

Dianne Murphy

Jesse-Tiara Dream Weaver C.D.- was a very special dog. He loved every person he met and was a perfect gentleman. Despite the fact that he did not like other dogs, he was able to go to obedience trials and earn his Companion Dog degree. He loved going to shows and showing off his abilities. His favorite trick was to jump into my arms from a stand still on the command of "fly". I am sure he has had no trouble adjusting to his angel wings. Good-bye Jesse, I will miss you forever til we meet at the Bridge.

Kim Osborn

His brother Wyatt and I just miss him so much.

Holly

To my dear friend Jessica,  
I want to thank you for the 6 1/2 years we had together, they were some of the best times of my life. You were always there for me no matter what, I just wish it didn't have to end so soon, I hoped we would grow old together, and spent our last days together sitting in front of the fire enjoying each others company.  
there are no words to describe the way I feel.. the pain hurt and sadness, that I couldn't do any more for you, when you needed me the most, I just hope you understand that I did everything I could to save you life but in the end God's will was stronger than mine, I guess he needed you more, although I can't imagine him needed you more than me.  
THANK YOU JESS, FOR LOVING ME AND I FEEL HONOURED THAT IT WAS ME YOU SPENT YOUR LIFE WITH.  
wait for me dear friend and we will go through the gates together.  
I will love you for ever no matter where I go or what I do, you will never be replaced in my life or love.  
Goodbye my one true friend my love forever.

Joanne

Jessica was my first dog. She was my rock. She taught me more than life itself. She was my companion especially during my single life. She knew I was waiting for the love of my life, whom I married 11/11/97. Unfortunately, 4/2/98 she wanted to cross the street to greet a fellow 4 legged friend. The car tried to miss her, but couldn't. She was strong as we took her to the hospital. When I saw the xrays of her broken back, and then heard her struggling, I knew what I had to do. She would not be able to have a comfortable life, and we knew what we had to do. I will remember her forever. All the joy and unconditional love she brought me will never leave my heart. I cry everyday. But I also remember everyday everything she brought me. She was my rock and I must go on everyday. She wouldn't accept anything else from me.

Bless you Jessica...You'll be missed forever.

Love,
Mom

We shared 16 years with the sweetest spirit we will ever know. You were so gentle and uncomplaining that even through advancing years and failing health, you were always ready to be placed into your car for another adventure.

When your health failed, we somehow found the courage to give you our most unselfish gift - we placed you in God's loving arms. Now the pain, immobility, and advanced years are gone. Bright eyes have replaced the tired ones; young legs replacing those that could no longer run.

You gave us a gift no man could -- total love despite our human faults and frailties. One day we will meet again and our joy will be eternal. Until then, it has been an honor to walk with you through life. We will always love you.

Mommy & Daddy

Jessie, you were more than just my cat. You were my baby. I will never forget how you would stare into my eyes and see my soul. The last sixteen years would have meant nothing without you with me. Please forgive me for having to make the decision to stop your pain. And know that I will be with you again one day. This I promise, just as I promised you the first day I saw you that I would love you forever.

Lisa Girolami

Dearest, cuddly friend. Always knew when I needed a special "touch". Comforted and dried my tears with her soft pink nose. Reached out with her paws as I walked by to pull my hand to her so I would pet her. Always sat with company and made them feel at home. Dearly missed and always remembered; sweet Jessie (^..^)?

Pat Wagner

Dear Jessie
I can say with certainty, even if I live to be 100, that my life ended on Nov. 8,1997, along with yours. I still can't believe you are gone. I need you to survive. Your constant love and devotion was such a wonderful blessing. You were my everything, nothing is left here for me without you. Nothing is important. All I have are the memories and that is not enough. I need you. My daughter, my soulmate, my best friend. I will always love you first and best.

Fred and Chester, you look out for your little sister until I get up there to take care of you all. Mom please look out for my little J.J. I am so glad you now have met her. I know you love her too. Julie, please care for my baby. You are up there with my baby and I am down here with yours. Who would have known...I will try to love your children as my own.

Lord, all I ask is that You show me what to do in this life, whatever Your will I want to do. And please let me spend eternity with You and Jessie and all the rest of my family and loved ones. That will truly be heaven.

Jess, you are the best. Your Mom loves and misses you more than I can say. God Bless you and hold you in His loving hands until the day He once again entrusts you to me for all eternity. I love you little one. If you have the power to come back to me, please don't. I want you to wait for me there where you are happy and out of pain and with the rest of those we lost from this world. Wait for me there. I will come. Love you sweet pea. Mom.

Love you, Mom

You were the best of the best, you kept the lonely out of alone for me....I will love you forever Jessie. I look forward to the day we will walk together forever across the Rainbow Bridge.........{{{{hugsandkisses}}}
Your mom...........

I can't believe it ended the way it did. I hope you really did just go to sleep like Alan thought you did. If I had known what was going to happen, I would have stayed with you; I'm so sorry I didn't. I miss you so much! I think your leaving is why Laddie is with you now. When we're all together again, I'll keep my promise to take you camping. Love Shannon.

Jessie, light of my life, sweet, sweet baby, you gave me joy and laughter, and you taught me courage in the face of your terrible battle with the dreaded cancer that took you away from me. Tears run down my face as I grieve for you, I long to cradle you in my arms, to caress your soft ears, to feel your gentle tongue lick my face. I picked up your ashes today from the veterinarian, such a small, cold package in place of the warm bundle of love I held in my arms as they delivered you from your pain. That last morning I looked in your sad eyes and knew it was time for you to go ahead, to wait at the bridge with Yoda and Comanche, til I come to join you. Jessie, chase your "ballie", my sweet baby, and wait for Mommy at the Bridge. I will always love you.

Martha Scott

You jumped into my arms when I found you as a pound puppy & I carried you home for the 1st time. On Monday, no longer able to jump in my arms any longer, I carried you home for the last time. I will always love & cherish your memory. Please wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge. I'll miss until then. Good bye, my darling Jessie Girl.

Randi Green

Dog with a hundred names! who once ate a whole 24 x 30 tray of christmas cookies--I hope that in Critter Heaven you get to catch that damned squirrel, and that you find Heidi there so that you can play that stoopid game you two got such a kick out of. Aslan misses you, and so do I.

No matter what I drive, it will always be YOUR truck.

I love you very much.

Sally

Big girl, Big Woofer, Droolbaby, Jezzebellybiggirl, Sweet baby Girl. I found that loaf of bread you stole and buried in the way-back of the yard. Silly Old Bitch- you always could make me laugh. We miss you. We hope there are miles and miles of edges for you to inspect and lots of loaves of bread at just the right height.

Love, mommy

I miss you so much Jiggie, I can't wait to see you again. Please rest in peace, think of me and miss me, because down here below I do the same. I love you.

Susan Tousey

You and I were meant to be,  
a relationship, no one else could see.  
A friendship, unique to you and me,  
and for eighteen years, we lived happily.

For eighteen years, your love never faltered,  
like a wild horse, never bridled or haltered.  
You were always there, when my eyes watered,  
and dried my tears, you were never bothered.

Then, tragedy struck, on a cold November night.  
We all knew it. You had lost your fight.  
In your eyes, there was no life, no light.  
Only a void, and I knew through that sight,  
that you were gone, your spirit had taken flight.

It will take time to get over your leaving,  
and let my heart, over you, stop bleeding.  
Sometimes, to sleep I go grieving,  
my emotions fragile and heaving

You, my eyes keep seeing,  
but not believing.

Though you're gone,  
your memory lives on.

Forever.

Adrienne

Jill, my beloved first dog. You will live forever in my heart. I miss you more than any words could possibly express, I am empty and cold with out your warm soft head beneath my hand. I know someday I will be able to remember the joy you brought to me with a smile and laugh. But for now my only comfort comes in knowing that I was able to be with you and say good-bye as you fell into your forever sleep. I love you.

Joyce Brandon

To my very sweet and elegant babe. I will always love you and hope that you and Torri together again.

A tribute to my precious Jingle Bells, my little angel. I still love you my baby and long to see you again. Wait for me for I will come to you once again when my work on earth is done. All my love, Mama

Jingles came to us as a rescue dog, but very quickly won our hearts. She was estimated to be 5-6 yr s old and was a sheltie. She was never given much attention or played with before coming to our house. As a matter of fact she didn't know how to play, but that changed. Within a very short time she made a lot of progress. One day Jingles went into shock, the vet doesn't know why, and then she went into kidney failure. We were told she wouldn't make it through the night, but she did. Two days later she was doing wonderful and we were told if she continued to improve she could come home the next day. She didn't. I never realized what Jingles meant to me until it was to late and she was gone. There's hasn't been a day that's gone by that I haven't thought of her and shed many tears. I just wanted to take the time to say, "Jingles, baby you meant a lot to me and I miss you terribly!" Things are so much different without you here. Mom, Dad, Tassel, Chief, Boomer, and Jessica miss you bunches too. I may not have ever taken the time to tell you, but I love you so much. I think of you every day. Hope you are having fun at Rainbow Bridge with all your new friends. Be a good girl and don't hog all the food. You'll be in my thoughts always. I miss you terribly. I love you and can't wait till the day I see you again. I love you Jingles!!!

Love,
Jennifer

Jingles, you are a beautiful girl. You came to us unexpectedly and were with us for such a short time. We can only hope that you know just how much we love you. We miss you, but know that you're happy guarding that food dish that never goes empty at Rainbow Bridge.

K. Mitchell

This tribute is for Jingles, who passed from this life on February 28, 1998. Jingles was owned by Sherrie Loosle and family. Sherrie has been fighting cancer for a long time, and her mother passed away a short time ago, so when it was recently discovered that Jingles also had cancer, and a short time to live, Sherrie was brokenhearted. She couldn't stand the thought of letting her beloved pet go. Yesterday, Jingles was very ill, and Sherrie agreed that the best thing would be to let Jingles' go to her rest. The family is having a very difficult time of it without Jingles. My heart goes out to them at this very difficult time. I hope they can have the faith that they will see Jingles again.

Rebecca

Jippy - I miss you so much. Please know that you were loved very much - and I can't believe that you are gone.

You will live forever in my heart... until we meet again!

We will love you forever

JODY ARE YOU REALLY GONE

It's been 4 days since you've been gone and it feels like eternity.

Mom and me had you for 16 years. I was 7 when you first came into our lives but it always felt like you had always been there, after all you were my best friend and my soul mate, like a brother and a father to me. I originally wrote pages and pages about how I am feeling, but you know. I don't have to tell you this way that I wish I was with you. It used to be people and couples with me and you Jody. Now it's just couples and me.

I am alone inside now and no I haven't excepted fully you're gone, I know something big is missing. I know eventually I'll realise for sure, I cant stroke you anymore, look in your eyes, hug you, kiss you, talk to you. I know it was months the last time you were able to go out for a walk but I still remember the nights I took you like they were yesterday and its kills. I want to be with you so much, I know it won't happen now, though I'm wishing it.

Please forgive me for all the times I lost my mind over minor things. I hope you can forgive me, because I can't forgive myself. BUT I LOVE YOU, I MISS YOU, I HOPE WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN SOMEDAY SOON. We had great times together, I'm just in too much pain and guilt to remember them fully.

I want you to have the song that I used to sing a lot, I think the last time I did we were in Hemsby on the beach by the sea. I'll say goodbye for now and I'll never stop loving you. NEVER.

(SONG) SOMEDAY SOON

Someday soon our eyes are winded  
Goner carry me away  
To a purpose, I can dream of  
It will be someday soon  
There'll be the answers from the inside of my eyes  
It will show me my direction  
Cut the whole world down to size  
Yes the promise will come true  
Someday soon

Someday soon there'll be an harbour  
And a haven for my soul  
No more weight upon my shoulders  
I'll sail in on home  
Someday soon I'll be releasing  
All the things I've held inside  
Heaven knows that I've been patient  
But the time is nearly right  
I'll be stretching for a move  
Someday soon

Tomorrows coming nearer  
Its been tugging at my sleep  
There's a patter in the cheek sir  
If I only just believe  
I will see the whole thing clear  
Someday soon

Someday soon I won't be empty  
And my waiting will be through  
There'll be something to believe in  
There will be love  
Someday soon I have the answers  
Even breathing in my head  
And it can't be too much longer  
I must try to understand  
There'll be love to see my through  
Someday soon.

xxx For Jody, 16 years of unconditional love xxx

From your sister Corinne.

Jody

To my sweet little angel in heaven. I know that you are now free from pain but I still cannot put into words my feelings of loss and emptiness since you joined the bridge. I have not been able to stop crying since Monday and don't feel like I ever will. May your sweet little spirit live on inside of me for the rest of my days because I know in my heart I will never stop loving you.

Be happy, until we can be together again.

Lots of hugs and kisses From your mommie (Susan)

Jody was a very special Dobergirl in our family and her passing to the Bridge was quite sudden and unexpected and we are all missing her with broken hearts. Momma loves you and misses you Jody girl!! You have left a Doberman size hole in my heart!

Joe was my friend,  
my companion,  
the confidante of my innermost fears and secrets  
a cat with a personality and charisma  
he leaves behind many grieving folk  
all who's lives were enhanced by his presence  
an intrepid hunter..he brought the strangest "kills"  
gophers and dragonflys, birds and beetles,  
I will never forget the time he brought in a Goliath beetle..  
this specie is aggressive and has a high pitch squeek...  
would have been fine except he brought him into my bed!!  
Imagine the scare and confusion..

Oh Joe-bob (as antinan would call you..) Caitlin5, antinan,  
jcube, stringerr, hengelo, golliwogg, db_41, belgar,  
and many many others grieve you...online and in reality

Hunt forever.... but most of all be pain free and at peace

Caitlin

Joe brought a lot of sunshine in our home the short time he was with us. I do hope he found happiness with us. We really got to love him very much. He was only 10 years plus when he came to live with us. Good bye sweet prince. His heart just gave out.

I can se it in front of me.... that you're flying around up there, exact like Pegasus.  
My beautifully white Pegasus....  
Until we meet again I want you to know that I love you, I've always done , and I will always do.  
My beautifully and magnificently little horse, I love you of all my heart, now.... and forever.

Se you! Love/Camilla

JoJo, we know God sent you to us to provide you love and care your last few weeks on earth. Though our time together was short it was very special. When you found us that day we fell in love with you at first sight. Giving you up today was the hardest thing I have ever done. I know you are now where you will never hurt again. I plan on making a white cross for your grave site this week and buying a special plant to honor you. We love you JoJo.

My Angel Baby Jo,
You were my little shadow, my inner-child, my secret power. I loved you and you loved me so much. Your brother and mamma and I miss you so much little darling. I thought I saw you today in my room. a sort of shadow. I hope you are doing just fine and are filled with the joy that you filled me with so many days of your precious, quiet little life. So strong, brave and true. I'm so sorry you had to go so soon Angel. I wished I'd have had any idea. I wished there was something I could have done about the cancer of your little esophagus. I pray that you are happy love. I will always remember the lessons you have taught me and cannot wait to see you again Angel.
Love and Light,
Big Mamma

We loved you for 18 yrs...we will meet again in a pain free place......

E and B Turpin

To My Little "Noogie",

It has been over a year since I lost you and the wound has never healed. From the moment I laid eyes on you in the church parking lot..little, white, gray, and peach fur and big golden eyes..maybe 2 mos old, I felt a bond with you. When we took you home and I left you by some milk and walked off for a second and you came running after me, crying...you stole my heart away in that instant and you still have it. Seven years wasn't enough and I cherish all of our memories together. I miss your loud purring ("Motorboat"), how you would sleep on the end of my bed every night, how you'd hear a can of Light Pringles (our fave!) pop open a mile away and you'd come running so we could eat them together, or how you'd find boxes way too small for you and squeeze yourself into them to sleep.

A year hasn't healed my heart. I think about you every day and night and still cry when I see your pictures. We had such a special bond, Jo-Belle, didn't we? It felt so wonderful to be so loved...the way you would throw yourself down and roll around to be petted and start purring the second you heard my voice. You made me feel very loved and very happy. I miss your warmth, and your special "noogies"! I miss talking to you and telling you my problems..you were a wonderful listener, and you'd curl up to me and love on me to let me know everything was alright. You were so special.

A few months ago, Jo, I smelled your smell and I felt your presence all around me. Some people may think that's insane, but I know you were there then to let me know you were still with me, waiting for me, in some way. I know you are with me every day and I can feel you in my heart.

I love you so much and I miss you more than I can describe. Sometimes I just want to touch your soft fur, hold your warm body, or hear your loud purr once again and I think I might go crazy with missing you! You were my "little love" and I miss you so much. I can't wait 'til we meet again, Jolie.

All of my Love,
Shanna

(If anyone would like to see Jolie, her photo can be found here:

Thanks.)

Shanna

For Jolie- The absolute joy and love of my lifeYou had a love for me that was stronger than any I've ever experienced from human or animal and I love you the same. I will never forget you or stop loving you and though the pain may lessen with time, each day for the rest of my life I will be looking forward to being with you again. You have brought me more joy than I could have ever imagined and I will miss you with my whole being. Jolie - you truly loved me beyond expectation, beyond measure, beyond what I deserve, and more, indeed than I love myself.

Until we meet again - All our Love, Mom and Dad.

Jon Tom was one of the many cats I had while I was growing up. He was a black and white cat; I don't remember when I got him but I think it was when I was around 12 years old. Jon Tom was my best friend. One day he disappeared and I spent many days outside, calling his name. My parents told me he must have run away. My heart was broken. So, here I am, many years later, my mom and brother tell me that Jon Tom didn't run away after all - he was hit by a truck. Talk about being angry at them for not telling me the truth....I wish I had known back then but I still wouldn't have my Jon Tom. I miss him and think of him still...I never got to tell him goodbye.

Ron Burke & Patty Burke

To my beloved Jordan...
I am so sorry that I did not see or hear you run from my side. When I heard your cries my first thoughts were that you broke through the ice in the creek or got caught in a trap or a wild animal had bit you. My chest has never felt so tight. I will always hear your cries.

How did you get up to the road so fast? We were 600 yards from the road! Were you chasing a deer? It must have been a deer. No other animal would run so far so fast. What were you going to do with the deer when you caught it anyway!?

I am sorry. You did not know the dangers of the road. Why did I decide to take you for a walk that evening? Couldn't I have just stayed in. Who would take you away from me? You are my strength. I have never had a best friend like you before.

Walks at Happy Hollow Park. I can't even type the word Park without thinking of your head turning sideways when I would say, "Want to go to the park... or even Want to go to the Moon." You didn't care where, you just wanted to GO. Your constant whining from the back seat all the way to the park. How many times had we been there, you new how long it took to get there. You just couldn't wait. I would do anything to hear that whining. Listening to the Cranberries on the way to the park. I can't even listen to that one song without tears welling up... Running on the trail by the river in the mud with Bonnie. Swimming 'til you could swim no more. Getting caught in a beaver dam, swimming and going no where, and me there to pull you out.

Why couldn't I save you this time? I would have paid ANY amount of money to take away your pain. This is what hurts more than anything. Not that your gone, but that I couldn't take away your pain. Did you suffer? I asked the vet, "how is he?" All she would tell me was, "He's scared." I wish I had stayed by your side for the 5 hours you fought to live. Would you have pulled through then? They didn't want me in there Jordie. You had 5 wonderful vets working on you. They gave me hope Jordan. I thought we would be taking you home the next day. Maybe I gave myself hope. My poor Jordan... I miss you pookie. The tears still do not stop after 1 1/2 years. You were one of a kind. I can't wait to see you.

Janet L. Smith

The most special fur-child I've ever known. He adopted me on first sight and was my kid ever since. He'd been left with his brother to die or survive on the side of a dirt road in Alabama. We invited them to come to us - in the rain, and with our diesel truck rumbling. They came-as fast as they could, to climb up to my neck and purr louder than the thunder. As they grew, they became physical extensions of me - where I was, they were. He was my best friend. He got out into the backyard one day while I was gone, and my two dog-folks played too long and too hard with him. I found him when I got home. Never has anything hurt like that. I hope he's waiting when I get to the bridge. I miss him every day.

Mary

Joseph. What can I say. He was a rescue.....abused, unwanted. He had the persistence of "The Little Engine That Could" and the patience of Job. Like many of our rescues, he grabbed ahold of our hearts, and refused to let go. He will be sorely missed.

Pam, Carol and Beth

My Dear Josephine, It has been 20 Days since you crossed over to the rainbow bridge. The house has been so empty. No little patter of feet when I come home. No one to go and poke into all the shopping bags. You always managed to find the bag that held something for you. There are times at night that I wake up and could swear that I hear you breathing next to my bed, but you are not there. I am trying to finish the garden that we were planting, when you had to leave me, but my heart is really not in it. I can still see you in the mums, looking them over. Smelling each flower, and wagging your tail and going on to the next bush. You just loved your yard and your flowers. I am just hanging in there Josie, I am hoping that soon we will meet again. Life is just not the same without my Josephine, It is completely empty. Take care I will join you soon. Your human mom

Gloria Cormier

18 years you were my baby. Always there when I need you, ready for hours long sessions of 'bonding'. Demanding but gentle, so gentle. I miss you. I was privileged to watch you breath your last in the comfort of your own home. You were on my chest, as usual.
Goodby old buddie. Wait for me at the rainbow bridge.

Mike Bender

How can I say all that needs to be said about Josh! He came to us when he was four days old. Raised as one of the family, I am sure he thought he was more human than cat. He learned quickly that, with three blind people in the house, if he wanted something, he had to tell us, and tell us he did! Through Cecilia's coming and going, and returning again, he was there always to welcome her home from school, or college, or where ever she might have gone. He loved gentle people, and left us in peace. God grant that we too might somehow gain a bit of that peace. We didn't want to let you go Josh, but we know you hold no anger in that happy heart of yours. Hey furball, be a good cat!

Cecilia Lee

To my precious baby who loved to love and be loved - You are in our hearts always and forever. We love you and miss you so very much.

Love Mommy, Daddy and Lijy

Josie was the closest living thing to me in this world. There is a big whole in my heart in her loss. I am to grieved at this time to even begin the healing process because the pain is so intense. I will love her with all my heart for all my days and pray I will join her again at Rainbow Bridge. Josie was truly a Great Dog and a Great Friend.

Jane Edgeworth

Josie was only 2 weeks old when she died, so in memory to her, I'd just like to say, " Rest in Peace, Baby". I'll always be thinking of you, I love you, sweets.

This world is becoming cruel to animals, please take care and open your heart to every animal. Peace Out, Jenny

Jenny Smalley

Journey is now at the bridge...a rescue from a shelter. Found wandering, cold, starved and a beaten dog! Tears have been coming down my face...I cried myself to sleep last night and awoke with the tears still flowing. I have cried off and on today...when I brought Journey to the vet...I cried....because his life has been one of circumstance...by far not what he bargained for. I cried again as I told the vet what a wonderful companion Journey is...I cried for his loyalty, I cried for his laughter, I cried for the fun he had...and I cried that again he would cry! I also cried as I took the crate apart...at the accomplishments we had made...I cried at my own dogs confusion. There were more tears as I put Ziggy's litter box up neatly...and the remainders of the food left uneaten. I cried as I gathered his favorite toys and could see him with his paws in my face...licking my lips. I cried when I made my sons bed...I could see Ziggy...tucked sweetly under the covers..with just her head showing..and a silent meow to welcome me in! YES...I still cry..but I am not crying for the reasons that I think you think I am crying for. These tears are not from fear...they are from the love we had for our sweet angel kitten...that Journey could not resist. His "small animal prey instinct"...that a life was taken to decide on his fate. Our tears flow and our hearts our heavy as we lose two precious gifts from above.

Barbara Gage

At approximately the same time the September 2nd candlelight ceremony was being held....a piece of my heart died as I dug the hole....30 minutes before...the sweetest creature on the face of the earth died.....her name was "JOYA" she was a blue cream persian..an ex champion from show days...but even if the worst cat in world breed wise she was my friend...I didn't have her her whole life...I got her about 5 years ago..she lived with a woman who got her many years before cause she felt she wanted a persian...then as with all her pets the wonder wore of...JOYA being a small inatrussive animal was left to live in her home...the woman fed her but ignored her....JOYA due to her frustration of "being a piece of furniture" started bad habits and urinated on the dogs beds...I guess she figured any attention even bad was better than none...I came to come to this woman's home and saw JOYA...she was lounging on the couch...I picked her up....it was love...she purred and smashed her face into mine and I took her home...she immediately fell into the life with my other cats and my dogs...it was like she had been there all her life...she would snuggle with me no matter where I sat...she would make me mad by sitting on my lap while I tryed to type on the puter....she became known as "TONGUE CAT" because of how her tongue stuck out and how when you scratched her back she would lick you....well JOYA's health went bad about 3 months ago she almost died and I force fed her and gave iv to rehydrate and she seemed fine......this time it didn't work and when I felt her I could feel the huge tumor inside and knew cancer would own her soon.....tonight I sat with her...I placed her on her cushion and just stayed with her...I knew her time was near..I stroked her head and talked to her even thou I am not sure she could hear me....at 9:27 pm est she coughed...like she had a hairball... this happened 3 or 4 times and then she was gone....immediately a piece of me died with her... I waited about 20 minutes till I had my compsure and I did ceremony.... I am native american and I burned sage and ask creator to take care of her...I reminded him...she was one of his creations and knew he had taken her to live with him.....I then buried her in my back yard and came in and cryed... the other pets knew I was upset...but they didn't understand...so I explained to them a member of their family had left us.... I know more than likely they dot know what happened... but it helped...when you light your candles for you pet please remember the little persian cat who's tongue stuck out...know she was loved...and is playing in the afterlife with your loved pet...and when I light my candle for my beloved JOYA ...I too will light it to remember all who have died this last week.................................goodbye JOYA... we will meet gain....this I know to be so.......

To my precious JR (Binky),

You brought me so much love and joy. I hope you are in a place of peace and happiness, never to suffer again.

I will miss you always, until we meet again.

Love,

Mommy

Juilette, We all miss Her very much. Because of a birth defect in her kidneys she had to be put to sleep. We know in our hearts that you are happy now with all the other pets running and playing . We will miss you Juilette for a very long time. Capone, your father and Nuccica your sister some day will be with you. Your Family enjoyed every moment we had with YOU.

Thomasina Maruca

You came into our life just 7 weeks of age. Full of love and devotion you grew into a beautiful dog. All you wanted to do is please us, day after day, over and over. Then one morning excited and ready to go for a bike-ride, carrying that special toy in your mouth, you were taken from us without any warning. Not even enough time to say Good Bye. Juliet, you may not be here anymore but your spirit is and in our hearts you'll live on forever. Take care little girl until the day we meet again.

Claudia Pauletti

A tribute to our friend and family member Jung. You are still in our hearts everyday. I welcome you in my dreams and wherever you are right now I want you to know that I love you and will always be here for you, forever. God Bless you Jung.
