Yaka thru Yukon Jack

FOR YAKA:

I will never forget you. For you were there for me when nobody else was. I love you, and I hope you are happy where ever you are (I am happy you are no longer in that tiny little tank). Vigga will also never forget you. I want to thank you so much, for being my best friend. I love you.

Yackie Lowe was our best friend. We loved him like a child and had four and a half wonderful years with him. We were looking forward to him and our 16 month old son growing up together. Our son Austin was just at the age when he could go up and hug and kiss his big puppy. We will miss our beloved dog and hope that he is in a better place.

We honor Yangtze for being a precious little dog who brought us much happiness over his lifetime. He taught us the meaning of unconditional love and because of him, we have come to love all creatures of the animal kingdom. He will forever be with us in spirit and we will always, always miss him and love him.

Elizabeth Long

He died very suddenly of an unknown illness and in my arms. It was one of the worst things I have ever been through in my life. I can only hope he knew I was with him and that I loved him very much. Yellow was a VERY loving domestic short hair. I got Yellow when a neighbor next door to me left him behind when they moved. He was the most loving animal I have ever had.

Yoda, our differently abled bunny - bought as a pet from a breeder, skinny, shy and so, so loveable. Sue wasn't going to get attached - we had too many rabbits cross the Rainbow Bridge this year, and then Sweet Pea crossed the Bridge right before Christmas. No, Sue wasn't going to get attached - Guess what Yoda--Sue got attached :-(
You were such a snuggable, huggable bunny. The type of bunny that you take naps with. And then we realized that you were deaf - no wonder you weren't bothered by the ringing of the phone or the barking of the dog. Norma misses you - she used to spend hours just watching you. You were her companion and she turned to you when Sweet Pea left us. She is sad, but understands that you are in a better place with Gizmo, Little Bit, Campbell and Sweet Pea. Gizzy can now get his basketball team up and running - you be CENTER! And, the look of wonder on your face when you realized how much fun it was to run around in the den, under the furniture, behind the curtains and in and out of your cage. You brought smiles to all who met you Yoda, and all who met you wanted to hold you and cuddle with you.
We miss you big boy and someday we will all be together again. In the meantime, keep the other buns in line! Love, Sue & Norma

We all miss you, and you will be in our hearts forever. --Mommy, Daddy, your little big brother Willis, your new little sister Angel, who you never got to meet, and your little big brother Bert, who just left to join you. You have fun with him, OK?

Our family pet dog Yoko.

I was all alone in the hospital. trying to get better. Knowing it was the time for my dog to go to heaven. I remember the day I got her, Three years of age I was. Loving her with all my heart. But she still loving. I sit on my bed crying, With problems that arise. She comes in and comforts me until I'm happy again. But now, years later of the love she has shown to me and my family. It was the time for she was in so much pain. It was so hard to see her detained from the things that she love doing. So while I'm here in the, my mom comes and tell me it was her time to go. I know it was coming I thought I'd be prepared. But I wasn't not the least bit. But mom brought Yoko to me for me to say my goodbys. It was the hardest thing which had arised. I lay on the bed of mine. Knowing at that time she was going to heaven so she would not be hurting. I wish I could have been there when she was taking that last breath. But the memories still there the pain I just cant bare. But I think of her and that's what gets me through. My family sill missing her as much as I do. The pain will not hurt as much as time passes but in my heart and my family she is with us watching over us.

You were my best friend, always there for me through the roughest times of my life. In mind a constant thought; In heart a silent sorrow! Go rest high!!!!

Love Margo

He was a very dear sweet cat who lost the battle to FeLV and FIV.
I will always have a place in my heart for my baby boy, my "Yowlinator".
I will miss him and his "yowl" dearly. :'| Here is one last head-butt to you, my love and friend.

Joy Bowley

This is for Yoyo who left me on July 23, 1997. It has been 28 weeks, or 196 days without Yoyo. I miss the little things. To be able to pick her up and kiss her. To touch her. To see her. I know I could never find another like Yo. I sometimes do not see how I can live the rest of my life without her. But then I think of all the happiness she gave me in the 17 years I had my baby Yoyo was in my life and I am thankful for that. I know life goes on but for me it lost all it's meaning.

Yukon (Bucky),
Well, Bucky Bo, here we go again. I'm sure by now you and Newtson have found each other again. This house has not been the same since you left on 8-1-97. I think Newtson really missed you too. He has acted real depressed ever since you left, and I think then is probably when he started to get sick. But no one knew he was sick, he was such a little trooper. Anyway, Bucky I just wanted to let you know that there has been a big hole in this house since you left, and I don't think that it will ever be filled. You were the best dog to me, and the best babysitter in the world, no one was going to harm "your babies"!! And everyone knew it too...I just wanted to thank you for hanging with me for so many years, wow 15 1/2 yrs., older than some of the kids. You were a good dog, Bucky, and I just wanted to make sure you know that. And Newtson is up there with you now in the "big field" in the sky; have fun you two; and don't get into too much trouble; look out and care for each other until the rest of us can come and meet you.

    We love and miss you lots and lots,
    Toni, Tara, Tasha, and Bolo

Jack has been a most special companion and family member to us for the past eleven years. He gave us so much. Jack will always be here with us in so many ways.
Jack will be missed, not only by us, but by his mate Jazmine and his son Juneau.
Run hard and fast Jack! Maybe, now you can catch that deer in your dreams! We love you!
