1999 Tributes

Caboose thru Czarina Natasha

Caboose: my special buddy, my constant companion. You were born right in my hands, and in my hands you also passed. Thank you for so many wonderful, wonderful years together. Sleep softly with your sister, dear Caboose. There will never be another quite like you. I love you, Boo.

Love,
Mom.

Cadbury was my baby. He always knew how to make me feel better and when I needed a friend he was there. I will miss him and I do. He was a special bunny and I hope to see him one day at Rainbow Bridge.

Marie O'Leksy

Caesar was very loved. He was more like my brother than a pet. He was very human. When I grew up and left home he stayed with my parents. He became my mothers Surrogate child he slept with her she didn't make a move without him right behind her. He was a faithful companion. He never let her Know he was sick. The day before he died he played with her and loved her like he was a puppy. He just needed to give her one last day. We will always love him He is forever in our hearts.

Linda Scott

Our precious Caesar, you came to us at a time of great sadness and loss filling the emptiness our baby Joshua left. You made us laugh when we didn't think we ever could. You gave us love and filled our home and hearts with joy. You showed us how intelligent you were by getting past all our attempts of keeping you in one room. It's so hard to say good-bye but we know how much pain and suffering the brain tumor was causing you. You will always be our special little angel. One day our tears will be replaced with smiles whenever we think of you, our precious baby boy.

Kay and Tim

To our over-sized baby....you left us way too soon. We'll miss you!

Robin & Greg Lester

Caesar Azzaro was my best friend from 1/26/96 to 3/13/99, he was the sweetest dog I have ever known. I love u so much Caesar, there is not one single day that you are not in my dreams. I have such an empty void in my life right now, without you. You affected my life is such a way that I can not even remember my life before you came into it. I miss your gentle eyes, your strong bark and cry, the way you clung to me during a thunderstorm and how I comforted you during it. I cannot stay in the yard too much right now with your best friend Freddie(my other dog) because all I can see is you galloping through the yard just enjoying the fresh air. But one day we will be together again when I cross the bridge, we will always be together then, I love you!

She was so full of love, and I will always miss her.

Joseph Healy

Cagney was a very special cat. She became my soul mate and we were like one. She was a quiet cat and meowed only to get my attention when she wanted to play "beek a boo" or to tell me it was time to go to bed and it was past our normal time. She loved to play with me and I loved to tease her just enough to get her go after me but she never would hurt me. When I got ill or was sick, she knew and would not leave my side. She would sleep next to me and would stay till I was well again. When I would go on vacation I could not wait to return to her and she always made my welcome special. When I was told she had cancer, it was as if someone ripped out my heart and it stills feels as yesterday that she left. It is going on one year and the pain has not ceased. I look towards heaven now and see the brightest star looking down and I know that Cagney is looking down till I can join her again one day. If she can find her way home I would gladly welcome her in spirit. If not, I know that as soul mates in life we will also be soulmates again in eternity. "Boo Boo" I love you and miss you deeply.

Janet Vinson

Caiman, 13 years ago a co-worker found you hiding under a car in the street. She kept you for a while and then decided that she didn't want you; only 10 mos old and already rejected twice. On her way to the pound, she brought you by and I said I'd keep you. For the first few months you were the most obnoxious dog I had ever known, and I've known a lot of dogs. The two of us persevered and what do you know, 13 years later your leaving has left me off-balance: More than a third of my life you weren't just company, you were support.  
|Wolfie, Bear and I grieve. I love and miss you my beautiful boy. Thank-you so much, Sherry

Cain was helped to rest this thanksgiving night after a 2 month battle with FIP. I watched him with unending vigilance, and attended his every need. Almost a 24 hr. job. He had the best medical attention that I am aware exists, and the best mother (me) to give love and support and care. Vets. said he might of had FIP since he was born and it just surfaced now. He was not an outside cat and was pampered to the extreme everyday of his life. He was happy everyday, this I know. I never thought a cat could love and need me so much as he did. We were (are) truly soulmates. I will miss him dearly everyday. He was only 3 years old so I grieve for all of the missing years and missing love. But I will never ever forget the time we did have together.

For Cain:

"The mighty throne growled and there were five thunders that flew into the East.
And the eagle spake and cried aloud: Come away from the house of death!
And they gathered themselves and became those of whom it measured, and they are the deathless ones who ride the whirlwinds.
Come away! For I have prepared a place for you...."

(quote taken form A.S. LaVey)

He was the best companion I ever had, loyal, smart and loving. Always willing to please. A part and extension of myself. A big part of me is missing and it's really hard to be here without him. He was in short my child and my most valued possession. I will never forget him and I will always keep him in my heart. He was truly one in a million and truly irreplaceable. He was unique and an individual. I'm sure you in heaven looking down. I wish I can only feel your breath, I love You.

I love you Caine, Always and forever in my mind and in my heart. May we meet again in heaven and may heaven treat you right. You were and always will be my boy. Take care of yourself. I love you forever.

Mathew and Marketa Esaili

Cali was the light of my life, my "baby girl" from the moment she wasborn till the moment thatshe passed. I will miss her terribly. Cali, untill I'm with you again know that Iwill always love you.

Loved and missed daily.

Debbie & Phil

She was the worlds best dog.

Deb and John Andersen

This is in memory of our sweet Calico bunny. Her sweet face is greatly missed around our home. She had her own room and was quite a spoiled bunny and we enjoyed spoiling her. I know that she is now out of pain and up there hopping around to her hearts content at the rainbow bridge.
I miss you, Calico. Just one more snuggle with my sweet bunny!

Kelly Hensley

Her name was "Calico", she was a Tortoise Shell Calico Cat. She was female, and was born on September 15, 1986 and died on June 19, 1999 at 9:30am of cancer, She was 13 years old. I loved her very much, she was best friend, and constant companion. She was a very beautiful, fun loving and very very friendly cat. Everyone who met her fell in love with her. My home is very empty now without her. I keep seeing her in all the places she liked to sleep, on the stairs, behind the tv, on the bed, and of course in the front yard scratching up her favorite tree, She would sit beside me on my favorite chair and purr away for hours, while I petted her soft coat. I am very sad to have lost her however I know she is in a much better place, healthy and happy and that one day we will be together again.

Sincerely,

Don Frazer.

Calico b. sometime in 1977 d. Dec. 1994

Abigail b. sometime in 1983 d. Aug. 05, 1999

Thank you both for the many wonderful years we were all together. We all love and miss you - you will both be in our hearts forever.

Gary, Valerie, Matt, and Amy

You died in my arms tonight, my kindred spirit.  
You entered the darkness, yet there is light around you.  
Your body is cold, yet your fur is still warm.  
Your chest is still, yet you're breathing for the first time.  
Your eyes are closed, yet they see the Rainbow.  
Your paw isn't begging anymore, yet you want one last caress.  
Your ears are deaf, yet they can hear my voice.  
You are dumb, yet I can hear you calling me.  
Your heart is silent, yet it beats in my chest.  
Tears are falling from my eyes, yet they are tears of joy and gratitude.  
I'm not sad, yet I'm missing you.  
I did not lose you this night, I did found you.  
You're not dead in my arms tonight, my kindred spirit, you're just reborn.

In the loving memory of Caline, dead on 30/08/1999 at the age of 16.

Delphine (Kamesama)

Callie has been my comfort, my friend and companion for half my life. She wasn't "just a cat." We had a special relationship, supporting each other through various life changes. She endured all the additions to our life (my husband, his dog, and our two children), yet was always there for me. While she's been very healthy, I knew her age was slowing her down, plus she had lost her hearing, which may explain why she wandered into the path of our vehicle as we pulled into the garage Christmas night. Thankfully, her doctor met us within the hour, but there was nothing to do but end her suffering. I never dreamed it would end this way. I'm so sorry. At least she didn't suffer long. I only hope she knew how much she was loved. She will always be in my heart.

Robin

Our sweet Callie girl.....we love and miss you so much.... Always remembering......your kind, gentle spirit....your manners as you lye down, crossing your paws....your knudging nose...your need for love and affection...your tolerance for puppies and other canine sisters...your life as one of our family members who will be remembered always, but greatly missed....may peace and our prayers be felt by you until we meet again.....

Lisa

My dearest Callie,
I will always love you and miss you. Now you will not suffer and you will be with sister Whiskey and little C.J. -my grandson.
I love you....Mommy

I placed you in a little boat
And got down on my knee
And with the slightest, gentle push
I sent you out to sea

I hope your journey wasn't long
I pray the waves weren't rough
You deserved a peace I could not give
You had endured enough

By day I search the cloudy sky
I watch the stars at night
I search in vain for some small sign
That what I did was right

When endless guilt consumes my thoughts
And anguish fills my day
I must believe that God saw you
And helped you find your way

Janice Capobianco

Sweet, timid, little Calliope......too young to have crossed over, and too afraid to be without her mommy. I told her to look for her buddy Sandman when she gets to the Bridge and he'll take care of her.

Oh, my sweet girl! Your presence was never obtrusive; your absence leaves a gaping hole in all our lives....

Nancy

A great dog. A great friend. He's running with the pack now, a biscuit in his pocket.

Amy Smith

To my dearest Calvin (mama's boy-baby)

How I loved you, and love you still; a love so pure it was nearly sacred. I know that you loved me, with all your feline heart. When I held you, all my cares and worries grew dim, and you never failed to cheer me and fill me with joy. I miss you so terribly. I long to hold you, even if only in dreams. I am so lonely without you. Sometimes I think I see you out in the yard but I know it's not you. I miss playing patty cakes with you and bumping foreheads, hearing you call for me and rubbing your soft white belly. I think of you daily and remember the laughter, the joy, and complete trusting love you gave me and all the wonderful memories I will have until the day we meet again at life's journey's end, and we will pick up where we left off. Have fun at Rainbow Bridge with Kelly, Peepers, Clyde and Mod-Bone! I will see you there someday...

Love, your mommy Anna

Cambria,
You will always be special to me. I am so sorry that you had to be mistreated, abused, and killed by my former roommate. I had no idea he was so cruel and evil. All I can say is that God will punish him for what he did to you. I am glad that you were my cat. You brought me a great joy and I will never forget you. You may be in a better place, but you will always be in my heart! I will see you again in heaven sometime soon. I miss you more than you can imagine! Love always! Jeff Robinson

A very sweet stray cat who died of distemper

Shannon

To A faithful companion and friend to the end. The sadness in my heart is only lightened knowing, today you are resting in peaceful, gentle sleep. Free from all the worldly pains. Rest gently my friend, for the day will come when we meet at the "Bridge".

Jon Parin

To my sweet baby who doesn't have to suffer any more. Always remember how much I loved you and will always love you. Fly high my sweet angel. I miss you so much. Mom

Eva & Otto Kolberg

My precious Candi, You blessed our lives for almost twelve years. Your passing was sudden. Though I'd been preparing myself for your death for two years now, it was still a shock to uncover your cage and see that you had left us in the night. I think I'd convinced myself that you would be with me forever. You were with me through college, my first job, through the births of my three babies, and through countless moves. I can't believe that you are gone! Thank you for being my friend. I love you and will never forget you. Tell Zeus and Tara hello, and I hope you are having a wonderful reunion with them! ('specially Zeus, since he was your one true love!) My life will never be the same without you here.

Love,
Mommy

Candie: You lived with us for nearly seven years after your owner, Mrs. Lang, passed on. We know you had a hard time relating to all of our other cats, except for Mickey. And we know we could never give you what you wanted most: to be with Mrs. Lang again. We loved you, though, and we think you knew that. And we know this: you are back on Mrs. Lang's lap again. We hope both of you are happy once more.

Roberto & Lauralee Dias

For our beloved Candy, today you went to the rainbow bridge, cancer you had struggled with for quite a while, we loved you too much to see you suffer any longer, you were my little girl, my constant companion and shadow for 14 years, when you couldn't find me you would cry for mommy, tonight I cry for you as I miss you, but I rejoice for you as you are no longer in pain. you are happy and at the rainbow bridge, where you meet your mate, coco, and other playmate midKnight, your nickname was sissy, but most of all you were my baby girl, I'll meet you at the bridge some day. from your family who loved you.

Bob and Evelyeen Pierce

We miss you very much and will never forget you. You gave us great joy for almost 11 years. We love you hugger lover, bunkhouser, coupe da ville and all those crazy names we called you.

Mom, Dad, Kim, Tara and Lee

A beautiful memory treasured forever  
A lovely happiness shared together  
A cheery woof, a heart of gold  
one of the best the world could hold  
no one knows the grief we bear  
when our family's together  
and Candy's not there

Goodbye Candy
I will always love you

Jessica

I wish to dedicate this tribute to my beloved cat Canita whom we loved very much and she knew it, because she always was surrounded with love and care, now that she passed away, we hope that wherever she is, she will know that we will always remember her and never forget her, for all the joy that she gave us during the precious 14 years that she was with us.

Alma

Capezio had been a part of my life for 14 years-even longer than my son has been here. Capezio was a very lovable, warm, cuddly, BIG cat and will be missed very much. My head knows that he's in a better place and he's not suffering anymore but my heart still breaks for him. I will miss you, Capezio!

Kelly and Drew

She was truly a special, loving little girl.

Lyn Durkin

Carathis reminded me of myself - unkempt, with her whiskers going off in different directions, messy, emotionally volatile, more than a little odd, but very loving. She would flop against my head in the middle of the night, purring loudly, and would often tempt me into mid-day naps with her. She would try to be aggressive with me and bare her teeth, but we both knew she was too cute for the threat to be taken seriously. She once wanted to jump off my balcony and confront a huge raccoon, and I once had to rescue her after she literally went "swinging" on a tree branch outside a bedroom window. A unique being in all respects. One of the things I miss most about her and her adopted sister is the eye contact, the mutual recognition and affection. We were very close, and I just can't accept that they're gone. I dreamt about them last night, that we were hugging and purring together ... Carathis gave me so much joy and love. I hope to see her again one day and relive our experiences together.

Barry

Dear Cardigan,

How I wish I could have one more Christmas with you. You were my gift from God and you taught me about love, gentleness, patience and nobility. You lived and died with courage and dignity. May God grant me the same. I will see you soon, my baby. I love you.

Jan

You lay by Mom's bed when she was going through chemotherapy. I took care of you, but I lost you both. I miss you.

Elizabeth D.

For our beloved Carlie, who gave us fourteen years of unconditional love and devotion. A battle with cancer took her, but she was a courageous fighter and will stay forever in our hearts.  
If only humans showed some of the qualities of our beloved pets.  
Carlie, you will always be my "little airplane head".  
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!

John and Judy Collins

Für Carlos

Steh nicht an meinem Grab und weine  
(Anonymes Zitat aus: Penelope Smith, Gespräche mit Tieren.)

Steh nicht an meinem Grab und weine.  
Ich bin nicht dort. Ich schlafe nicht.

Ich bin wie tausend Winde, die wehen.  
Ich bin das diamantene Glitzern des Schnees.  
Ich bin das Sonnenlicht aus reifendem Korn.  
Ich bin der sanfte Herbstregen.  
Wenn Du aufwachst in des Morgens Stille, bin ich der flinke  
Flügelschlag friedlicher Vögel im kreisenden Flug.  
Ich bin der milde Stern, der in der Nacht leuchtet.

Stehe nicht an meinem Grab und weine.  
Ich bin nicht dort. Ich bin nicht tot.

Danke Carlos für fast 12 schöne Jahre, vielleicht sehen wir uns eines Tages an der Regenbogenbrücke wieder.

Burkhard Redeker

Two darling wee girls that I miss so much.

Sandra Annett

Good-bye my friend-you will live on in my heart until we meet again on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Kathy Maynard

Casey was a rescued dog, she had to be treated for heartworms and taught to love again. She learned quickly and well. She died on her owners bed of smoke inhalation in a fire that destroyed most of her owners home. She apparently was confused with the smoke and flames so she went where she felt safe. She is with all her other friends now at the Bridge

Lee Dubbs

Casey,

We'll always remember your love and your eager bark when you saw us. You provided such unbounded love and support at a time when your mom really needed it. I can see you running -- ears flapping and jumping with excitement. You sweet boy -- rest in peace by the Rainbow Bridge and wait eagerly for mama to bring you a treat. We love you Casey!

Linda Hartman

Dear Casey:

We were only able to spend a short four years with you. But, in those four years, we really became a family. While you were with us there was no limit to the joy you brought to us. You being our first cat, we really learned what it was to be a pet lover, to be able to be loved unconditionally. We had no idea that you would come to mean so much to us. As you grew, so did our love and pride for you. We wish we could have known you were getting sick and done something to help you before your disease progressed to far. What we want you to know is that even though our time together was shorter than what we thought it would be, the love we feel for you was just as much as if we had you forever. We miss you little kitten.

Melissa and Paul

My dear Casey,
What a joy you were for the last 14 years. How I loved you and how grateful I am that you came into my life. I can still remember the day I brought you home. You had been abused, you had health problems and were so sad. But in short order, we got you to the groomers and to the vet, who found you to be just a perfect angel! The years will filled with many happy times .. rides in the car, walks in the evening (and sometimes mornings, too)... lots of treats and two brothers to play with and have for company. Despite your many health problems over the years, you remained a little trooper always bouncing back and giving me that wonderful smile as I grew so accustomed to. I always knew when you were feeling better because your ears were up, a smile on your face as you would run down the hall! I will always love you and will never forget you ... how I wish we could have done more to help you through this last serious health problem, but it was not to be. God had other plans for you and has taken you home with him. He needed a very special little angel and so he chose you. Please remember how much I always loved you here and continue to love you forever. When it's my turn, I hope you will come to greet me! You will always have a very special place in my heart ... for you truly were a love .. how blessed I was to have you. If only I could have kept you just a while longer. We all miss you so much, dear Monsieur Casey ..

Love,
Mommy, Beau and Garth

Casey,
Our time together was too short. When we adopted you at two years of age, you had already been through 2 homes and had been abused. I like to think that Daddy and I made up for all the love you missed. And we did love you, more than anything. The disease that took you away from us happened so quickly and was so awful. Your vet tells us that even had you made it, the disease could have come back. What we did for you was the hardest thing we ever had to do but we loved you so much. We just couldn't see you suffer any more. You have changed Daddy's life forever. You see, you were his first dog, and now that he has opened his heart to the love that only a dog can provide, he will never be without one again. Guinness misses you also. We have adopted another homeless dog, but he does not replace you. Rather, he is a living testament to the love you gave us. Rest, my little angel. The Rainbow Bridge must be a lovely place. Enjoy it until we see you again.
Love,
Mommy

Casey was our much loved "puppy" for 11 1/1 years. Never was there a happy or friendlier dog. She smiled every morning for us right up to her last day. She got very sick the last two weeks of August/99 and on Sept. 1 we had her put to sleep. Our house is a very empty place without her. Things will never be the same. She was and always will be MY dog and she will never be forgotten.

Lorraine Broydell

Casey was our beloved "son", our companion, our loyal friend who shall be dearly missed.

Lori and Andrew Venema

She was my son's friend Steve's dog. She was a sweet dog and will be missed.

Ann

What a special friend She was my life, as I was hers. She made me laugh, she gave me so much joy. My heart left when she died.

Jeannie Anderson

Casey Tovell

Casey lost his fight with glomerulonephritis on Sunday July 26, 1999. Casey was only three years old, but in the three short years we had together, he was the sunshine in my life. He had great big green eyes, that looked at me lovingly and so filled with trust. He was my angel. He loved me unconditionally and so completely, as I loved him in return. Casey and I have a bond that will never be broken. He is in my heart forever, until we meet again. I am crying many tears for his loss, but know deep in my heart he is not in pain anymore. God Bless you Casey, and always know how much your mommy loved you!!! Love, MommyXXOO, **tears**

Michelle Tovell

She was "the bestest" girl in the world. We miss her so very much. Thankfully, she was only sick a very short time. There will never be another one quite like her!

Pat and Tim Powden

He had a disease that was much like leukemia, he was getting to where he couldn't walk, eat, drink, hold his head up, and I took him to the vet today and had him put to sleep. I wonder if that was the best thing or if I killed my cat. He was gonna be a year old in 2 weeks and its gonna be hard to face on his birthday. He was so sweet and loved to sleep with you and loved attention.

Kelley

This was the dog who brought happiness each second of every day she was with us. I told Casey every single day, many times a day, how much and how deeply I loved her. I looked her in the eyes and told her that. I never once took her for granted. the dog who curled up to me when I was sick, who followed me from room to room. I will love her wholly and eternally and she will always live inside of me.

Charis Taylot

In loving memory of Casey, our beloved spinning dog, who is gone from this earth, but never from our hearts. Casey, we love you. Daddy and Mommy.

Forever in my heart.

Marie

My beautiful Casey. Be happy. I love you and will always miss you are in my heart and will be with me forever.

Mom

Like most special pets our own touched our hearts. Casey not only touched mine but held firmly to many children who needed unconditional love when they could not give it back. Casey would worm herself into hearts that had stopped feeling anything but hurt and dread. About Casey I can only say, no dog had held my heart so firmly but gently before or since. Thank you for letting me into your life.

Samantha Ziegenmeyer

Will miss you always Casey. Thank you for being such a great and special girl.

Denise Kuchta

Casey you were a very special dog to all of us. We will miss you begging for food all the time. Searching for crumbs after your brothers had their cookies and milk. We will miss your spirit, your loving licks and slobber. We love you all so much. Your life was cut short by illness, but we treasure the last six years that we had with you. Not a day will go by, where I won't think of you.

Love, Mom, Dad, Gregory & Joseph

Casey, I loved you with all my heart. We were supposed to spend our life together. I wanted you buried with me one day. You were my soul-mate, the love of my life, and my companion. It has been 7 months since you died and I miss you more and more everyday. I love you and miss you. I hope to see you at the Rainbow Bridge one day.
I love you
Mom

Casey was a beautiful dog and I loved him with all my heart.
He lived to the grand ole age of thirteen. If you look probably you will see teardrops on this Email. He and me were born on the same day. We were twins. Now I'm alone.
I love you Case.

Sarah

Because of the love and the memories, Casey will live on in our hearts.

Sandee and Dave

A true friend, always there. The gentlest of souls. Is now showing his "sistercat" Fanny Fern the way around heaven. Take care of each other.

Stephanie Laster

You were my only baby, and sometimes my heart would just seize up with my love for you. We lived our lives together, but now you are gone and I am hurting so bad. Please be at peace and know that you were loved so much.

Heather

To my precious son, Casey Bear, Casey, you are my most beloved darling. You are Mommy's pride and joy. Mommy misses you more than any words can say. I love you more than anything in the whole world. Mommy would give my right arm if I could have you back here with me. I love you my angel, Love from your Mommy XXXXOOOO

Dot Karcher

You are missed more than you will ever know, sweetheart. I shall love you forever.

Jennifer D'Angelo

See you at the Bridge, kiddo. You are STILL the world's bravest and most beautiful dog. We love you and still think about you often. Oh - do they have your favorite TV show, Nature, there? We hope so.

Annie & Jay

Casper was a special friend who was loved by all of his family members. We love you and will miss you, Casper!

Perry M. Ball

Casper, "Roo", we all miss you so much! Your little voice is quiet now, and we feel so lost without you! You're free to feed all your old, and new friends at Rainbow Bridge - feed them well! Since feeding your buddies was your favorite thing in life, now you have lots of friends to fatten up! We love you, little girl! Someday, we'll all meet again! Remember - you're a "Star", so keep entertaining everybody!

Kisses, and nibbles!
Love from all of us!

I only had you a short time but I feel grateful for the time I got to have with you. You will always be my buddy. I love and miss you.

Lois Miller

I looked forward to coming home everyday knowing Casper would be at the door to meet me. On holidays, I missed him terribly. I'll miss him so much. He was such a beautiful and gentle creature.

Glennis

Casper-the most unique cat we've ever had the privilege to share part of our life with. "Cippie" you made coming home so special. You would be at the door, telling us that you were glad to see us and that you were hungry!  
You always looked so regal sitting in the yard, surrounded by the green, green grass and you so startlingly white. We miss you so much. Thank you for all the wonderful times we were able to share with you. You brought so much to our waking and sleeping moments. The cancer that consumed you has now been beaten-we'll see you some day on the "bridge". Until then, patiently wait for us.

The Urke's-David, Brenda, Jessica & Kirsten

Casper,

We will always love you.

Thanks for all the happiness!

Sweet Dreams.........Mom & Dad

Goodbye Cassady. We love you. See you at the Bridge.

Tina, Bill and Remington

Hello, my beautiful girl! One year later, we miss you more than the day the truck hit you and took you away from us. I long for you to look into my soul and share my pain. I cry out for you to snuggle up against me at night. We love your little sister, Cassee, too, but will always miss your distinctive personality. Mom and Dad

http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Farm/6466/

Cassidy, we loved you too much to let you suffer. We wish there was more we could have done. We gave you all the love and attention we possibly could those last few months. You were such a beautiful golden girl, so loving and faithful. Your intelligence always amazed and entertained us. Thanks for your unconditional love and affection. We will see you again, we know that! We will always miss you and love you. Forever in our hearts- Heather, James and Jamison Davis

You were and always will be my baby. I'm so sorry I couldn't help you more. I miss you more than I could have ever imagined. Please find your buddy Ras. Love you baby boy. Wait for me.

Cheryl Schultz

Cassidy - When I brought you home I was so young and when I moved Mom and Dad insisted that you stay with them. They were right for although I loved you, I was a little selfish. Dad loved you so much Cassidy, he would comb your long black hair for you and you loved it so. When you were diagnosed with diabetes we gave you your medicine faithfully and you seemed alright. Then when Dad died I knew something was wrong. You stopped grooming yourself and Dad wasn't there to do it for you...I think you grieved for him just as we did...finally after watching your health fail swiftly Mom knew it was time to let you go...now you're with Dad and I'm sure the two of you are watching over us...someday we'll be together again. I wanted to thank you...when Dad was sick you laid by his side and took care of him...when he left you wanted to go too. God Bless You Cassidy...you'll be in our hearts forever.

Cassie

I will always love and miss you, my special girl and friend. I wish that you could have filled my life longer than the 7 short years that I had you. I can't wait to see you again.

Kristen Hallihan

To the most wonderful friend that a human could have. I will miss your "chatter" and the way that you always had to be with me. There will always be a special place in my heart for you. I will meet you and Eddie at the bridge someday and we will cross it together and will never be separated again.

I love and miss you so much. Take heart, for I will come after you some day. Love, me

For a special loving, pretty, sweet, smart good girl furbabie. She will always be our baby that we love. Wait for us at Rainbow Bridge, we will come get you there.

Ken & Cindy Thatcher

Our beloved Cassie passed away on January 17, 1999 after a long hard battle with cancer. We miss her very much and we know that she is in a much better place now and is free from all pain and agony. We will never forget her.

We miss you Cassie girl, we love you.
your Family,
Mommy, Daddy and Gregory

Cassie,  
Mommy is waiting for the day we will be together again. My loss for you is beyond words. You were my heart, and now I feel empty and incomplete. I miss your beautiful face so much. You were and still are my angel. I love you!

Love, Mommy

Cassie Marie, my friend, only you know how much I loved you. You were my special little protector girl.  
I will miss you riding in the hay cart with me at feeding time for the horses..You thought that was the biggest deal, getting to go for a ride on top of the hay.  
And as time passed and you could no longer make it out to the barn, you sat on the back porch and watched me work. You always looked so cute as I would glance at you. Always in the same spot, waiting. You somehow knew you just weren't strong anymore. And as those old eyes became cloudy, you still sat and waited. Loyal to the end. I hope I have served you well, baby girl.  
I tried my best to keep you going, but I knew no amount of money I could spend would make you more comfortable. I tried and then realized I was being selfish. I found the Rainbow's Bridge and now I know you are once again healthy and happy.  
I'll meet you when my chores are through. Look for me!  
Love Forever,  
Mom

A friend once remarked, "Cassie is a joyful dog!" That is the best description! She was joyful her whole life. She gave us so much pleasure. We had her for almost 14 years which is a long life for a Collie, but it still hurts to let her go. I am so glad we found Dr. Wyatt at the Gwynedd Veterinary Hospital. She was so compassionate and did everything possible for Cassie. Today Cass went to Rainbow Bridge. Rain was falling all day and mixing with our tears. We said goodbye to our joyful companion who gave us much pleasure.

"The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too."
Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

Eu tinha um gato
Seu pelo era grosso acinzentado
Seus olhos eram grandes e azuis
Tinha um rabinho de urso, peludo e fofo
Era pesado e macio

Um dia o anjo negro
Abriu suas asas sobre ele
E uma grande fúria invadiu deu peito
E tudo era como um grande dormir e acordar
Como uma nuvem cobrindo o sol
Como uma enorme sombra escura
Chegando para pegá-lo

Tudo era medo e raiva
O sangue enchia seus olhos

Eu tinha um gato
Pequena bolinha feliz
Menino peludo e esperto
Gatão gordo e macio

Eu tenho um gato
E não sei o que fazer
Eu sou a Senhora dos Gatos
E não vejo saída

Tenho que fazer o que deve ser feito
Tenho que fazer o que é preciso
Depois será o tempo do choro
Depois será o tempo do arrependimento
Depois será o tempo
E o tempo dissolve
E o tempo acalenta
E o tempo faz dormir

Eu tinha um gato
Não tenho mais
Entreguei-o para a Deusa Gata
Devolví o presente que me foi confiado
Falhei

My dearest Sweet One,  
You were the love of my life and the joy of my heart.  
I miss you so much. The house seems so lonely and empty without you.  
I will always love you. I thank God every day for bringing us together.  
I will always remember you, Crazy Kitten! You made me laugh and smile!  
If your soul lives on, I know you are in heaven and that you are once again healthy and strong.  
When I pass into the next life, we'll find each other again.  
We'll be together forever, never again to part.  
That will be a happy day.  
Take care until then.  
Introduce yourself to Sam, your beloved predecessor.

Love, Brenda

Catie...my dear, sweet girl...I hold a special place in my heart for you..life was always so difficult for you. I hope that your new journey brings you much joy and happiness and many laps to curl up in to chew your tail. I love you and will miss you forever.

Even though Ceasar was a big, strong, powerful dog he had the sweetest disposition of any pet I have ever been around. He was loved and will be deeply missed!

Ben, Vicki, Chris, and Lisa

I miss our walks and our jumping. Miss the little nuzzles along with your I am here stance. I know you are flying free with the wind now.

Love, Mommy

There is not enough I can say about Ceasar. He was truly the best pet I ever had. He was my constant companion and friend. He loved me when no one else did. He saw me through the worst times of my life. I miss him more than I can say. I am so grateful for all he taught me, all the joy he brought to me, all the companionship and unconditional love he gave me, and for all the time he spent with me. I was not ready this soon to let go, but I needed to, for my friend. I did not want him to suffer. I hope with all my heart there is a hereafter that all spirits may see one another again, for I will want to see him. I want to believe he is painfree, happy, and full of all the wonderful characteristics that made him such a joy to me. I will always love you, my 4 legged friend. I think of you ever day and hope you are happy, wherever you are. Mama loves you--always!!! Be at peace and be happy!

Karla

Ceasar was a very special cat. Jeff adopted Ceasar a few years ago. Ceasar lived in Tennessee, Illinois and his final resting place in Ohio. He was well cared for and had much love given to him. He was a picky eater, but you couldn't tell by his size (17 lbs.!) When Jeff went away to college, Ceasar came to live with Jeff's mom and dad in Ohio.  
Ceasar wasn't much of an outdoor cat until he came to the farm. He would roam all night long, then want in the house in the morning to eat his IAMS cat food. Mom and dad left the window open so Ceasar would have the run of the farm and house.  
But instead of eating his "catch" outside like most cats do, he would bring them in the house on the carpet. His catches included mice, headless mice, birds and his latest, a chipmunk. Mom would just throw them out side and Ceasar would look at her as if to say "Hey, I caught that for you lady. What do you think you're doing? Oh well, I'll just bring you another one tomorrow!"  
Ceasar will be laid to rest beside Roxee the Rottweiler on the farm. They became friends about two months ago and they will become even better friends in heaven.  
Everything is better now, Ceasar. We love and miss you always.

Jeff, Jodi, Vicky, Jodie, mom, dad, Jason, Jenny and family members.

Cecil, the Great White Love of my Life. Goldeneyed Boy you are in my heart and part of my soul forever.

Lauren Laster

Cecily taught me that hearts can be pure in spirit and generous. I will miss her gentle nature and kindness.

Lisa

You were CH. Ravenswald Above Reproach, from my first litter of Berner babies. A champion at only 15 months old, and together we earned every point & had a ball doing it. And how I'd give back that title if it meant I could still have you. I was always envious of my friends who had that bond with their special boys and then I found mine with you. Such love and devotion I was not worthy of, but I will be eternally grateful for the privilege of being your mom, even if it was for such a short time. We are adapting to life without you & the fun you brought us, and we're glad you are healthy & vital again in heaven, free from cancer. I am so grateful I could be with you when you so suddenly had to go and I could cradle you in my arms as you breathed your last. And I know you are still blessing us with your love from above. But I love you & miss you so much, Bean......and do so look forward to the day when I can be reunited with you at the Bridge. Until then, dearest Cedric, you have my heart.

Kathryn and Darrell

Goozer,  
    Why? I thought you would always be here. You struggled to be here and left so abruptly, you were still beautiful breathing your last breath. I hope it won't be long till we're together again. I long for the day.

Mom

Celtic my beautiful little girl how I wish you so. I wonder what is life without you.  
Mac your Scott Terrier companion that you picked out when he was just a little pup misses you terribly.  
I thought that you would be with us for a long time but God took you away too soon. I hope you know that I didn't let you down. I did what was best for you. I couldn't bear to see you suffer so.  
I was with you till the end - do you know that.  
Mac and I had a lovely funeral for you at Abbey Glen Pet Memorial Park and we were able to bring your ashes home where you belong.  
My life is so empty without you - my heart is breaking so.  
Mac is lost without you - He doesn't understand what I had to do - DO YOU?  
I will always love you and hope to be with you again soon then it will be the three of us the way it always was.

Noreen M. Fitzgerald

My baby girl, how I miss you so. Each night I go to bed and cry because you are not with me. Your best friend Mac (Scott Terrier) is lost without you. Do you understand that I had to give you some peace and that I had to stop your suffering. They told me you only had days and I couldn't let you down. I hoped that you would want me to be with you till the end and I was. You went so peacefully, no more pain. The only pain left is my broken heart. Be free my love and play and watch over Mac and me and we try to survive. I hope that the three of us will be together very soon until then eat all you want and play with the others, don't hurt your hind legs but they are probably better now. Remember us.

I had CC for 20 years, she was a part of my life, she was there when persons I loved passed on,-- thru good and bad times-- never leaving my side.. guess she was my cat-soul-mate. when I was down she would be there pulling tricks to cheer me up. and letting somehow know she was my blanket --for u cen-cen I have put up web page, an album on web so people could see my love-- please wait at the rainbow bridge for me, so I can find my way again-- u sent me Misti, Annie & The Gyp-- someday we will all be together with your mother Sheba then we will cross together love u still

Be good PUD....... mom.

Cephas was our precious baby. He was the joy in our life. He was so sweet and loving. He became a major part of our life. We thank God for letting us have him for the past 8 years.

Libby Smothers

Cere's death was completely unexpected, and although it seems almost a cliche to say so, I feel fairly bad that I didn't get to say goodbye to her. She was abnormally active (for her) early on the morning of her death, as I was preparing to go to work...I wanted to let her out to play, but as I had only 5 minutes before I needed to leave to catch the train to go to work, I didn't think there would be very much point. so I stroked her cute little nose through the top of her cage and said goodbye that morning...not knowing it was to be her last. We still don't know how she died; we've theorized that it may have had to do with her age (she was 5, which isn't particularly old, but isn't particularly young, either), the fact that fireworks have been going off around our neighborhood for some time now, and/or additional stress factors including a recent move to a new environment and an overly-hormonal (and soon-to-be-neutered) male rabbit's attentions...
 at any rate, Cere was most special...although I know some reading this will take exception to this idea, she was often referred to as "the best bunny in the world." I loved my little Cere-bear...and still do...and I miss her terribly already, even though I have yet to go home and see her cold, lifeless body sitting in the cage where she once slept and leapt up eagerly when she'd hear and see food coming or her door being opened so she could come out to play...all I can hope is that it wasn't too painful for her, and that her remaining family (she leaves behind one male rabbit, two humans, and a cockatiel) will be able to come to terms with her shattering loss. she really was the best bunny in the world...and there's no others like her.

Janaki Jitchotvisut

Cezar, Thank you for giving us your love, caring and understanding. You entered our lives and gave us the perfect love one could ever show.

I just wish I could express myself through words as you did with just your eyes.

Thank you for letting me share in your life.

Dawn Malacinski

ChaCha, We will miss you more than I can ever say.
I know you are waiting at the bridge.
Until we meet again.
Be a good girl.

I miss my Chami-girl terribly.

I just lost my faithful friend. I held his head and gently stroked his fur as he departed for the rainbow bridge to wait for me. I miss that old soul so very much.

Debbie Connole

Champ was a dear friend to all who met him. If you were lucky you could even hear him say "I Love You" on occasion. He died of Cancer but never suffered, even during his last minutes. He will be dearly missed by everyone...
We all love you very much and will never forget the joy you brought us.

Jennifer, Trevor, Linda, Lloyd, Jeff, & Mischief

There is so much to be said about my beautiful little baby, Champ. I only got to have her for five extremely short years but will love her for all eternity. She touched my soul in a way no human will ever be able, she was so incredibly special. I can't continue as the tears flow when I think of her, which is all day long. It's been too recent. Just yesterday when the kidney disease claimed victory over my sweet puppy. If my current suffering means she's relieved of hers, then I welcome every painful moment of her absence. I only hope she's in a better place where the love she gave during her short time on earth is returned one hundredfold. My little monkey-face, I used to think "Champ" was a terrible name for a female boxer but as it turned out, you lived up to your name and then some. You were so brave in the end, my sweet baby. You will always be my champion, my bestest of friends, the love of my life, my Champ.

Liz

Chan was the biggest little dog around. Early in life he needed surgery to straighten a crooked leg and he developed osteomyelitis. For a year he wore a splint while he hiked the Sierras with me and played with his kitty friends. For the last 3 years he has been nearly totally blind and deaf but he never stopped playing and enjoying life. For the 16 1/2 years of his life he was my joyful, empathetic, sweet boy. At the end, he was licking the tears from my face as I made the decision to free him from the pain of a tumor that bled into his belly and caused him great pain. He was grieving the death of Jessie, his Lab buddy, who died just 5 weeks ago. And now I am grieving them both, but am consoled by the picture of the two of them reunited at the Rainbow Bridge - healthy, happy and able to run and play together again. I know we'll meet again. Love and thanks to both of you sweet friends.

Nancy

Chance was my best friend, I loved him dearly, he went everywhere with me.
And, he was always there for me. I love you Chance !! I know we will be together again one day !!

Sherri Mundis

Though we were together for a short time, you have a permanent place in my heart. Your suffering is over now. May we meet again at the rainbow bridge.

Sheila Cook

She was a blessing to us and we miss her very, very much.

She had a truly beautiful spirit. I look forward to meeting up with her someday.

Donna Whitney

The best pet we ever had. A sweet, gentle and loving dog.

She was the best Mom a soul could have, and it didn't have to be a feline soul. She was mother to me, my other cats, and my birds! She was always gentle and always a lady. I will miss you, my beloved, sweet Chani-kitty, and love you always. I'm glad you waited until I could be with you when you decided to go. Take care of Data until I can join you.

Terri

This is a tribute from the Howren family who terribly misses this beautiful animal.

Charcole Bear, our little Baby Bear,

Thank you ever so much for blessing us with your presence, your light, and your love.

I know that you are now in a place of eternal happiness and laughter, where the sunlight embraces everything in a sea of love...where words such as pain and suffering are never heard.

Protect us in our everyday lives as you did here on Earth. Please stand by my side during my hours of duty in Law Enforcement.

Again my Baby Bear, thank you for everything. We all love you so very much. You were such a good girl! Goodbye Bear-Bear, until we meeting again...

Endless hugs and kisses,  
Your Family

My sweet Chardonnay was a gift from God. She was so gentle to everyone and everything. Her kindnest touched so many, from family, neighborhood and school. My children considered her their second Mom and she truly was. I thanked her every day of her life for being my little girl. She helped me through alot of hard times. She was always there for all of us. I hope and pray that someday we will all be reunited with her, but until then my little girl, we will hold you in our hearts and honor you. My arms and heart ache to hold you. I love you forever. Mommy

Wendy

My sweet Charley where did the yrs. go. I remember when Clark and I got you I thought to myself I like this guy and how can I make sure he stays in my life and there you were my gift to Clark and so it all began 6-months later we got married you were our first love you went through everything with us and maybe that is why you went to Rainbow Bridge when you did before we moved into our new house for when we started that new journey without you there were no reminders in the new home but Charley as it says on your urn you were our first love and now you are always in our hearts we still ache for you but know you are free from pain and probably bugging Casper and Snowball at Rainbow Bridge. Charley we now know it was you going the bathroom on the carpet not Sandy and you got away with it we have apologized to your buddy Sandy. Till we meet again Mom, Dad, Sandy and all the cats.

Cathy

Please say a prayer for Charlie, he was a Rimadyl victim. He had a heart that was bigger than life itself and fought the valiant fight but unfortunately lost. He was originally someone that no one wanted, but we adopted him or should I say he chose us, when he hugged my husband.  
From that moment on he was our friend, our child and our protector. He was always with me when my husband traveled and I never worried about being alone or lonely, not when you had 105 lbs of love and fur! He was my husband's sometimes jogging partner and all round helper, especially when it was treat time. We look forward to meeting him one day at the Rainbow Bridge and will listen for his distinctive bark that always came out sounding like WOOOOOO! We miss him greatly and will never forget him! Thank you Charlie and may you be at peace until we see you again - We love you!

Sherri & Mike

I had my Charlie since I was 2 but passed on when I was 14. we went through a lot together. I have a web page on my site dedicated to him please check it out at http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Park/3796
I just want to say that I miss my Charlie and love him very much!!!!!!!

Destiny

To my soul mate/best friend, who taught me to give, love, and to be responsible. There will always be a special place in my heart for you. Thank you my Charl. Remember our song "You and me against the world" I will always love you.

Zally

To our beloved dog Charlie "Chalito":
You will be missed as long as we live, hoping we always one day we will reunite again and spend eternity together at the Rainbow Bridge. I have heard that this is a land of meadows and valleys with lush green grass where there is plenty of good food, water and that all dogs and others are comfortable. I feel tranquility knowing that you will be happy, because you have always loved to smell the flowers, plants and follow trails. We are happy to know that you will have plenty of water to drink since you liked abundant and fresh. We want to let you know that you have been the best companion a person could have ever had. Thank you for having give us so much happiness throughout all these years (14). Thank you for having been so patient when we were so busy trying to settle down in America. Your Parents with Love. Carlos & Maritza.

I miss you, Charlie. I love you and I hope that you will wait for me at the Bridge with Barron and Schnoppsie, Ralph and Reggie, until we can all be together again. I will never forget the unconditional love you gave me. That is something so rare and precious, and I will never forget you in this life.

Debra Rowlands and Amanda

My beloved Charlie.. my very best friend- who loved me most in the world, died Sunday of complications from cancer. He was a dog I got from Boxer rescue when he was 4 months old. He'd been badly abused and I was his last hope. Little did I know over the years, he would become mine.. a reason for me to keep going when it felt like nothing was worth going on for... He bloomed and flowered with my love and care.... I bloomed with his. I feel like part of my heart has been cut out and I will miss him very, very much.

Leigha Fleming

My dog Charlie was a beautiful black Cocker Spaniel who we loved so very much. He cared for all who cared for him. My memory of him will always be in my heart and soul and he will be remembered by those who loved him. Charlie was my best friend and will always be as close to me in spirit as he was to me alive. I will always remember him as a dog with good manners, well-behaved characteristics and most importantly a strong affection that he had for me (Dean), Marla and Rumba. We'll always remember you Charlie as you will always remain in our hearts for as long as we live. You'll always be our "little monkey" and always remember, "Be a good boy, I'll be back soon".

We love you and miss you, Charlie!

Dean, Marla and Rumba

Charlie, you were our sweet little angel! There will never be another you! Thanks for your unconditional love. We will NEVER forget you! We will always remember your funny personality. You were so happy and carefree. I'm sorry we didn't protect you better. Everyone misses you. We have lots of pictures and memories, but we would give anything to have you come bouncing through the back door and leap on to our laps once again!  
We look forward to seeing you (and Bill) at the Rainbow Bridge someday. Lots of love from your momma and daddy, sweet boy!

Carol & Jim Wantz

Thanks for the love, Charlie. I'll miss you.

Gus

Charlie was a living example of unconditional love - to us, to the other animals in the house and to everyone he came in contact with. He was bright, inquisitive and full of live - his life ended tragically and a piece of us has left with him. We'll miss you Charlie, love and God Bless.

Dawn & Mark Graziano

Night night Charlie, sleep tight. When we looked out of the window today there was a rainbow over where you were found - we'll come over the bridge to get you one day sweetpea. Forever in our memories - we can't believe you're gone sweet Charlie boy. We'll love you forever. We found out about an hour and a half ago that our darling Charlie cat was taken from us when he was crossing the road after he'd been mousing. It hasn't sunk in yet but we're missing him rolling on his back in the garden, clawing at the washing basket, rubbing against our legs for more food ..... bye bye sweet darling

Jason Woods

Charlie was my first cat. I remember when a neighbor brought her to my door. I was allergic to cats, but, I took her in, because my two sons wanted a pet. The landlord did not allow dogs. I didn't know this at the time and had to give a dog away. Charlie filled in the grieving. We thought Charlie was a boy, but, later found out differently! I did have a bad allergy attack from having the cat. I prayed to God that if my allergy went away the next day I would keep Charlie. Well, the next day, you guessed it, I felt a lot better. In all the years I had Charlie I never had a bad attack like that again! Sometimes, if she scratched me, I would get a red welt. But, I must have become immune to the allergy, because later on I acquired two more cats, which I still have. Charlie was never a lap cat till she became older. She mellowed out in her later years. When she was younger I called her a happy hunter, because she liked to hunt outside. When we moved to our second home Charlie would not come around and we had to leave without her. The next day me and my sons came looking for her and she came running up to us and was glad to see us. She had the prettiest green eyes and a cute little face. When she looked at you she looked right through you. I kissed her a bunch of times on her nose today and told her goodbye. Now she can join Benji, our dog, who passed away January 28, 1998. Now they are enjoying perfect health again and are running together with the wind. May God keep them and watch over them forever.

Ed and Elaine La Mothe

Charlie,
You were our baby, our protector and our pride and joy for 12 years. You could always bring a smile to our faces when we were having a bad day. The day we took you home from the shelter we formed a special bond. As stubborn as you were at times, you gave in to get your reward of praise. Splinter (greyhound and best friend) misses you very much. We miss you very much. We will probably get her another playmate. Splinter has reminded us of you as she has picked up some of your habits (good and bad). We love you Charlie. And you will be missed. Your death was a shock to us but you never gave us any idea that you were close to death. We know you went in your sleep and didn't suffer. I guess the cancer was more widespread than the test results showed. I had asked God that you not suffer and that if he has to take you that it be in your sleep. I just didn't mean for him to take you that week. Until we meet again - We love you Charlie - See you at the Bridge.

Tina and Luke Caron & Splinter (greyhound and best friend)

My Dearest Charlie:

It wasn't so long ago that I held you in my hands for the very first time. It wasn't so long ago that I held you in my arms for the very last time.

You are with God now Charlie. No lungs struggling to breathe, no heart struggling to beat. I can't wait to see you again. Please remember me as one who loved you and cared for you more than anything in this world.

I sit and mourn your absence in my life. You made my life full of love and for that I will never, ever, forget you.

Good night, sleep tight, God watch over you tonite. See you in the morning bright. Angels watch over you.

God watch over you today, in your sleep and in your play, and in everything you do this day. Angels watch over you.

Rebecca Hargens

I will come and get you again one day Charlie.

Donna Manning

To Charlie, for the best times we ever had. From the time you licked our faces every morning when the alarm went off, to the time we went to bed, with you giving us kisses goodnite. You were the most loyal, loving and generous friend we ever had. Although the 5 years seem short, we have a lifetime of the greatest memories. you will always be a part of us. We love and miss you so much. Love, Dad, Mom, Kelly and Bob

When we picked up the little, tiny rat who would have been snake food, we never dreamed we had such a great rat. Your name was Matilda for about two days, until we discovered you were a boy. Then you became our Charlie Boy forever. What a cute and energetic guy you were, right up until you took your last breath. After you were neutered, you bonded to a little tiny female. Sure enough, it had to be Diana, so many dubbed you two royalty. You two stuck together like glue, and offered some great photo opportunities. We were not prepared for your early death, especially on the heels of the recent deaths of Misty and Templeton. You will be missed beyond belief, by both the humans and the animals in your family. See you at the bridge........

Love,

Dan, Sue and Josh (the humans)
Diana (the widow), Nike, Ebony and Mac (the 4 rattie survivors)
Amos and Riley (the canines)

Charlie was a very special guy. Did not have a mean bone in his body. He came into our lives very unexpectedly after the loss of our Sheepdog and brought joy, laughs, and an abundance of unconditional love into our lives. The first week in our house this 6 month old puppy grabbed his leash off a table and threw it to my husband as if to say, well, lets go!! Charlie ruled our roost and gave us more than we could ever have given back to him. Our hearts are broken at his very sudden passing and we will never forget him.

Diane & George

My beloved Charlie,

Where did the time go? I remember when you first came into my life and how excited I was when you walked into my room with your trainer. You were so attached to him but I soon won your heart and we were inseparable. You were the best Leader Dog anyone could have ever had. You always made sure I was safe and you hated it when I was out of your sight. Even when we had our accident, your main concern was me even though you were in pain.

I never expected send you off to the Bridge so soon. I hope you know Dad and I did everything we could to save you. I felt so helpless knowing it was beyond my power to fix you. I'm just glad you weren't sick for very long and that you didn't die alone. I couldn't have asked for a better worker and friend. Although I will have other dogs as my eyes, you will never, ever be forgotten. You will forever be in my heart and your harness will remain in a special place. Wait for me, my friend, and I will join you when my time comes.  
With Love from the other side of the Bridge,  
Mom (Sharon)

Charlie--you were my Special Boy, and I would have given anything for you not to be sick and suffering. But there was nothing mama could do and I know that you realized it. When I looked into your beautiful eyes, I knew we both realized it was time to say good-bye. I'm sure by now you have found Sophie at the Bridge and that you are happy to be with her again. You be a good boy, and remember mama will come for you and Sophie someday. I love you.

Mama Cathy

Charlie,
I assume you were left behind when your owner's moved. Had I found you earlier, maybe I could have been of more help. You were a beautiful cat. Very regal with your long coat. Unfortunately, you had the bad luck of having white ears and a white nose. Skin cancer had ravaged one of your ears when I found you and it was slowly eroding your nose. It broke my heart to see you every day when I fed you, slowly decaying and in pain I am sure. So we took you and had you put to sleep. I miss seeing you in the mornings. I hope when I get to the Rainbow Bridge to greet all my other animals, that you will be there among them. I would be honored to be considered your 'person' -- the one you cross The Bridge with.
Till then,
Kim

Charlie Brown was a special friend of mine. He was not just a dog but was also my protector and my pal. He taught me a lot about love. I could tell him everything and he just listened and kept on loving me no matter what. He loved to play but would stop instantly if he thought one of us was in trouble. He fought so bravely right up to the end to stay with me because he knew I couldn't bear to give him up. He will always have a special place in my heart. He is missed.

Joy Zinn

Over two years on and I still grieve for you like it was yesterday. You wandered into my life and brought me so much happiness before you wandered back out again. I miss cuddling you like a baby, I miss your funny noises and odd little ways. There is always an empty space that will never be filled. I shall never know why you disappeared when you had fought so hard to get better and had begun to once again enjoy life to the full. It kills me to know that I will never know but can only guess. Maybe you decided it was the right time to go. When you walked away that summer night I never thought it would be for the last time. I miss and love you SO much. I hope you are truly happy and that we shall one day be back together again.

Julianne Bonner

Dearest Charlie Cat,

I miss you so much, just writing that brings tears to my eyes. You were such a beautiful, friendly, loving cat. I loved how you would wake me up in the middle of the night so I could pet you. I miss you standing on your hind legs clawing on the sliding glass door so I would let you in. I miss you because how many other cats are gonna eat corn on the cob with the rest of us? You were such a brute always so concerned with getting to the food first. You always gave Bonnie (another of our cats) such a hard time chasing her into the bedroom everytime you saw her. Domino misses you too I can see how he wants to play but your not here.  
I sure wish you would have watched for cars little boy. Hope to see you again someday, and take care of baby sweetheart (our hamster) he is already at the Rainbow Bridge.

Love,  
Cytel, Steve, Lexi (your humans)  
Bonnie and Domino (the Cats)  
Hal that blasted dog that would sit on you

I love and miss you Charlie, you are gone but never will be forgotten. I will see you again someday my love.

You came into our lives on April 20, 1979 from the Humane Society in Pittsburgh, PA. The sweetest bundle of black fur with the most innocent face. You were only about 6 weeks old. Your sister-cat, Chessie, was NOT amused She thought you were either a new toy or LUNCH That concept was short-lived, as you grew to be 14lbs. The years really flew by for all of us. Cat-fights. Shredded furniture. Declawing. The "alarm clock" that woke us up when the power failed. Clumsy attempts to walk across the mantle-OOPS--there went the clock, and the oil lamp. Climbing the tree in the woods behind the house--40 feet up, scaring the daylights out of me. Moving to Wisconsin and finding the evergreen to lay under in the summer in your new backyard. Surviving surgery for a stubborn cyst that finally robbed you of almost all your whiskers on one side of your face. Exploring another new yard and a new house that Daddy and I built, with a tree for you in the yard, and a cat-door to the basement. Enough demands that we finally got trained to leave water in the bathroom sink. Following the sunbeams from the back to the front of the house. Finding the best sitters we ever had to care for you and your sister. All you ever had to do was eat, sleep and look cute.

Suddenly, one day you got really ill. The vet said kidney failure was very common in older kitties and said 6-24 months was all you had left. You started losing weight. We changed your food, making it easier on your kidneys. Learned to do cat dialysis every 3 days, then every other day, for you and your sister. By this time, neither one of you were candidates for transplants because of your advanced ages. Time ran out on your sister and she crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 8, 1998 with help from our vet. You never got over her absence. Rarely came upstairs anymore. Started talking all the time. Depression set in and you spent more time on the couch. Finally, on March 8th this year, your sister came to take you home. She missed you, too. Your organs started to fail and we took you to our vet for the final time. We didn't want you to have any pain. You were gone in an instant. We had you cremated and spread your ashes on your sister's in the yard, next to the catnip. Now you are together forever. You were the last cat I'll ever have. Asthma and allergies have closed off my options. You will never be forgotten. The picture Daddy took of you on our deck is the one I'll carry in my heart forever. When my time comes, I'll be watching for you to greet me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Shirley

The best little friend I have ever had the privilege of knowing.
You will be truly missed and you were very much loved.

Kathleen Hall

To our gentle giant Charlie, it has been one year since you have gone and we still miss you alot. We know you are with Annie and waiting for me and we think about you both daily. You were a very special friend who is truly missed. Till we see each other again we will continue to light the candles for both of you on Monday evening. Love, hugs and kisses to both of you.

Joann Seabreeze Rags

What an incredible friend

Caryne Jesse

She was a wonderful girl!

Michael and Louise Ward

Dearest Charlotte, I love you so much! Now that your gone, you've left this gaping hole in my heart. I never thought that your time would come so soon. Silly girl, dogs are supposed to live so much longer than two years. I miss all of the companionship you gave to me, how you used to wag your tail so hard sometimes that you would smack yourself in the face. I miss your floppy ears, how you used to follow me upstairs at night and fall asleep right next to my bed. Now who's going to keep my bed warm when I'm away at college, who's going to make me laugh when I'm sad? Just remember I'll ALWAYS love you best. Thanks for protecting me when I needed it. I had big plans for us in the future, but I guess the Big Man upstairs had planned otherwise. Now that your in heaven, you can once again be with your mom. And when you see Grandpop up there, stay close to him, I know he'll love you just as much as I do. Thank you for the undying love that you gave to me and my family. You know that I did everything in my power to save you when I found you. I just hope that you weren't in too much pain when you left this world and passed into the next one. I know that wherever you are now, everyone will love you as much there as they did here. I love you soooo much you Loquechona! Until we meet again. . . .

-Bryn Hafemeister

Charlu was an abandoned cat that I befriended and fed for some time. Circumstances were such that I couldn't bring him home and I have lived with this regret ever since. I gave him the name Charlu because it suited him, my handsome boy. I think of him still when I walk in my neighbourhood and wonder where he is now that he is long since gone. I still love him and keep a special place in my heart for him. He was a good boy and I write this tribute in his honour, hoping that we remember in our prayers all those less fortunate animals who have been cast to the winds.

Genna Westwood

In loving memory of CHARM (Ch. Dazdell's Princess Dy), my precious girl who brightened the life of everyone she met with her big crooked smile and outgoing personality. Charm lost her battle with cancer. She displayed a will to live that astounded the veterinarians who worked so hard to save her, and made the decision to end her suffering all the more difficult on that terrible day almost a year ago. "God bless you, Sweet Pea, and keep you safe 'till I get home."

Susan Robinson

We miss you Tiny Charmie, keep Walter company until we see you again. We love you.

Monika

To our loving little "girl dog" Charro. You left us unexpectedly, without warning on Monday, September 13 at 9:00 p.m., due to heart failure. Mom, dad, Allan and your companion Chewy miss you terribly. We miss you sitting in the little basket you loved, your shy way of saying goodbye to us at the top of the steps, cuddling with us on the chesterfield and begging for snacks. Although you have gone on to the Rainbow Bridge, we were lucky enough to have you with us for 11 wonderful, joyful years. You were the best dog anyone could ask for. You were gentle, funny, loving, loyal, and a beautiful little girl. You will always remain in our hearts and we will love you forever.

Shirley & John Hood

Charthy was a wonderful friend and was loved by those whose lives she touched and whose beds she made warm. Charthy will never be forgotten and will be alive in our memories and hearts forever. Even though we have a long time to wait before we see our special friend again we know she is eagerly awaiting our arrival, at Rainbow Bridge.

David Carson

You only lived a few short months, but you'll be remembered always!

Wendy

To our wonderful man, we love you always.

Kathleen McDaniel

In honor and loving respect for you, we wish you peace and harmony over the Rainbow Bridge Chasey. You were the sunshine of our lives...filling it with your unconditional love, companionship (especially during hard times), your countless times of beggary for food to fill that bottomless pit of yours and all the laughter you created within us with your fun loving nature and many numerous doggy tricks you were forced to perform...yes, for food.

We love you very much and cherish all the memories you've given us. We look forward when the time comes to be reunited with you over the Rainbow Bridge.
Until then, goodbye and peace be with you.

Love you,

Daisy, Tomas, Edna, Steven, May, Tayler and Austin

My littlest girl, We miss you so.

Dan & Ann

Chat was my very beautiful cat and I release her into the hands of God until we meet again. My life will never be the same. Now she is with Derryson who only died a few weeks ago and my heart is breaking for them both.

Geraldine O'Hanlon

A most affectionate cat, intelligent, and most beloved by my mother, my father and I.
This is a special cat, fortress, lovable, kindness and I can never forget him.
Please say a prayer for his soul today.

Tony Saba

To our best friend, we loved you so and we still can't believe we had to lose you but we wouldn't have missed any day we had. There will always be a special place in my heart for you. Thank you my darling Chaz.  
Look for Charlie, Penny, Fred Roger, and Ollie. Your all together now and oh how I loved you all.

Diane, John & Jeff

My heart aches to see that beautiful face. Time goes slowly but I know we will be together again at Rainbow Bridge.

Your Mommy

In memory of Checkers, not a day goes by that we don't think of you and miss you with all of our heart. We will love you always.

Lisa Tilbe

Checkers Leroy was likely Newf and German Shepard and was taken from us too young. He had Airplane ears and floppy lips and feet the size of dinner plates and we loved him more that words can say. He loved ice cream, wheelbarrows and rides in Broncy. If you read this and you live in the country please also read "Rags Ogden". Checkers ( Cheekie) was put to sleep with cancer of the Lymphnoids and lungs and possibly the kidneys and we would like to warn dog owners that eating mice that are wild and eating roots of corn and wheat that has been sprayed can cause this. We believe this is what took our two boys and we wish we had known that what we thought was two happy dogs out on a safe romp in a field, would take them from us. We are so lost without them. Checkers you were a delightful puppy right till the end and we will love you forever. I just pray that there is a dairy queen in heaven.

The Ogden Family

Chee-Chee,

I learned of your passing on Christmas day and I had trouble holding back tears as your "dad" told me what had happened. My only hope is that you passed quickly on to rainbow bridge with no pain. Your passing has no doubt left a void in his life (in mine as well). He also told me about your predecessor "Bud". Please know that he eases your loss but NEVER replaces you. You will always be loved Chee-Chee. Please know that. We will see you at rainbow bridge when it is our time.  
Love,  
Jenn (& your "dad" Jeff)

Too short a time for so much fun & love.

Adriana McMullen

She was the kindest animal we ever knew and a dear friend. SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.

Peggy Wilson and Daniel

Chelsea was only a wee special dog whose time here was too short. But she will always be remembered with love.

Jessie Kuehl

In memory of my best friend and the love of my life for half of my life. I love her with all of my heart, and I will miss her sadly. I don't want her to feel cold and alone, I am always with her, in her heart.

Donna Kelson

Rest in peace and be comfortable cutie pie!

Chris

It's hard to know where to begin. Chelsea, I miss you so much already. You were a constant source of joy and love, a light in my life that I keep burning. I could have selfishly held on, I guess, but I know your spirit was yearning to be free from your broken and worn-out body. I will remember you always and will see you at the Bridge where we will be united with Dobie and the others. God's speed fateful one.

Jackie and Jim

Chelsea, 1/82-8/99

Chelsea, my sweet little tabby, was named both for the spirited daughter from On Golden Pond, and the lively part of New York City that I frequented. She was adopted at 6 weeks old. I'll always remember my friend, holding up this squirming little yapper, and exclaiming, "Debbie, this one's going to be a little monster, I can tell!" Right he was, but she proved as loving as she was feisty. For all those mornings at 2 AM, when she delivered waterbug presents at the foot of my bed, there was many a night when she was a "nurse cat," healing my emotional wounds with sandpaper kisses and a motor-purr which could launch a thousand lullabies. Chelsea bounced back from many an ordeal of her own throughout her life, but her strong will finally succumbed to cancer. On her last night with us, she joined our family in a peaceful fireside moment, supplemented with candles. How she loved completing a circle of individuals! That same candle which illuminated her beautiful face that night, is now lit for her in commemoration of her wonderful spirit. Chelsea, I miss your soft weight on my legs at night, your cat facials, and the glimmering beacons in your saucer eyes. You are forever in my heart.

With immense love,

Debbie

     Today is the eight-year anniversary of Chelsea's death. Eight years...I remember it all like it was yesterday. Chelsea was the first dog of my very own - the other dogs were all family dogs. I adopted her at the "Tacoma-Pierch County Humane Society" when I was 11 - she was 8 weeks. We were told she was a male at the shelter and we didn't think more about it. I originally called her "Charlie". Then my Mom's friend paid a little more attention and realized "he" was actually a "she", and "he" became Chelsea.  
     We had such fun. When all of my family went up to work on restoring the trails in the woods, Chelsea went too. I have vivid memories of her barking at my jacket that I left hanging off a red huckleberry bush and of her having a great time playing in the hollow under the roots of a fallen tree. I remember coming back from the week-long camp that all of us fifth graders went to and greeting my family - and Chelsea. And I remember that awful day.  
     That day was July 11, 1991. My Chelsea, only 5 months old, was hit by a car when the gate was left open. My puppy died at the vet a short while later. I remember all the details so well - but even now they hurt to much to think about. I never felt such pain in my life. I'd lost several animals before, and it always hurt. But this hurt so much more.  
     I wish I could say I never felt such pain since. But Chelsea was the first of many things for me. Among those things, she was the first truly significant loss in my life. There have been others since then, many others. But Chelsea was the first. I don't think I'll ever forget. I learned so much from Chelsea. Even in her death she taught me - and I think she still continues to teach me things to this day. You will forever be in my heart, Chelsea...

Shannon Reuter

To Chel Chel, my very special girl and friend. You were an absolute Angel even during your serious illness. I never left your side on that terrible morning, even during the surgery. I was also with you during the beginning of your new journey. I hope you know I was there holding your paws and loving on you, and that you were not alone. Will see you at the Rainbow Bridge. Much Love from U'ma Shirley, Allen, Ebonie, Spooky, Bear, and Boomer.

Shirley Adams

Chelsea was the best friend I ever had. She picked me up when I was down and kept me going for the last 11 years. I miss her horribly and pray that she can sit in tall cool grass and chase a squirrel once in awhile. I will always love her with all my heart.

Vic

We miss our beloved "Chelsea" so much. We pray that she is in a better place able to run and remember us as we do her. It's so much harder than we ever imagined...

Jacqui

My dearest Chelsea, You were my friend and protector. You kept me company when I was lonely, and made me laugh with your silly games. Meep and I miss you.

PM Czajkowski

Our darling little red-haired dog. You were truly one of the family, and our house and our lives will always feel empty without you. You were the best dog any family could have asked for and we were blessed to have you with us for nearly 7 years. We love you.

M, D, F and D

Chelsea was my best friend and I miss her all the time. I'll see you again, Chels.

A. Cassie Smith

Chelsea Ann was a baby full of life and love. She always gave the best and wettest kisses. She loved the water and chasing rabbits and squirrels. Chelsea may have been 12 years old but she still was full of energy. She never complained even at the end. We miss you, Chelsea Ann.

Mama and Nannie Bub

Our special little princess.

Sandy, Jim, & Jennifer Ridenour

Chelsea will be greatly missed by our children Timothy and Eric. And especially missed by my husband Tim. He said she was the best friend he ever had. She never complained, she never talked back, and she always listened to everything he said and never told a soul. And I guess I'll miss her a good bit too.

Amanda Ryals

Our beloved Chelsea,  
You were our very first kitty/baby. It has been a difficult year without you. You left us so unexpectedly, I could not believe that you were gone. (you had a massive heart attack)  
I will always remember you, you were SO special and will always remain in our hearts. Thank you for being my best friend in ALL of the world.  
You are always with us,

Angela Gwatney

She is without pain now and playing with Missy, Bosco and Pugs who passed before and waited at the bridge.

Fred & Benadet Dittmar

Chelsea gave us unconditional love for 12 and a half years. She was our baby, our best friend, one-cat entertainment committee and traveling companion. She never complained, even when we took her with us for a six-month trip. When we got home, she never stopped purring. Chelsea was always there to comfort us, kiss us and make us smile. This house is not a home without her. We will always love her and cherish the memories. She gave us so much happiness and love. We will see you in Heaven, Chelsea. We miss you so much. Ma-Ma and Da-Da

Chelsie passed on to the bridge on Tuesday, December 14th. She will be missed by all who knew her. She was my brother's cat and I am writing this tribute on his behalf. Chelsie was a beautiful cat with long, shiny black hair. She was full of life and very curious. She was also patient with the 'humans' who would at times disturb her while she was trying to have a good nap.  
My husband and I aren't 'cat people'. But, we liked Chelsie and when I told my husband that Chelsie died he said "wasn't that their cool cat?". That is all you need to know about her. She was COOL! Chelsie, you will be missed.

Hedrick Family

My JoJo Man went on to his final peace yesterday....He was very ill and the vet felt that it would be best for JoJo if his suffering would be ended ....So JoJo left this world for the Rainbow Bridge as I held him and told him over and over again how much he was loved ....I hope he knew that

I believe JoJo was trying to tell me he loved me and that it was indeed time for him to leave me ....First of all, because he had been sick for several weeks, he had barely purred at me at all during that time ....And I had missed that purr because it was normally SO loud that you could hear it across the room ....Well, when we got to the vet's office, JoJo started purring as loudly as he could and he didn't stop till the very last heartbeat ....

Physically, JoJo let me know it was okay for me to let him go ....During his entire illness, JoJo had not had any respiratory problems at all ....But while we were waiting for the vet to get some test results, JoJo suddenly became very congested and was wheezing with each and every purr....I even knew right at that moment that he was telling me his body was shutting down and he was tired of fighting so hard....

This is to my JoJo Man :  
I loved you from the time I first saw you as I was sitting in the restaurant with my friend and she made me look at 'that HUGE siamese' across the street at the courthouse ....I wanted you when I went all over this (small) town asking who owned such a beautiful boy and NO ONE wanted to claim you....I prayed for you during the more than three weeks it took me to even get you to come to me because you were so frightened of the world in general....I cried the first time you even let me stroke your beautiful head and ears....I cared for you when I got you back into good physical shape....I adored you even when your so called owner tried to demand that I return you to him and I refused to do so ....I danced for joy over the fact that you were finally mine after a court date was set regarding where you would call home was settled your alleged owner didn't even bother to show up for court...
No one could have asked for a better kitty than you, JoJo....You were so sweet with your kisses and your head butts and purrs....Your other furry and purry family members here miss you, but NOT more than I do ....

While you are at the Bridge waiting for me JoJo, be sure to say Hello to all the other one's there who have called me 'Mommy' ....They are all in my heart, just as you have been since the day I saw 'that huge siamese'....

Esther

To my very sweet, soft baby. I miss you so very much. Love Mom

Jeannine Bartnicki

My heart. Til we meet again, I love you and will miss you dearly. "Who loves ya baby?". You know the answer. Please watch over little Banshee, don't let the others pick on her, you know she is too little to take care of herself.

Ann-Catherine Ervin

Mommy will NEVER forget...

Lauren Palmieri

A little grey tiger that died simply with no fear as I held her in my arms. I'm happy she didn't suffer, but sad to be without her now. I miss her already.

Anna Rachel

To my wonderful friend and companion for 14 years. You will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all of us.

Beth

Chester, we never knew how much you were loved until you were gone from our lives. You were a faithful little dog who had so much love to give and wanted everyone to know you were "Boss". There will never be a Toy Fox Terrier like you again. We miss you deeply and cannot wait to see you again. Let them know who is "Boss" there little guy, at the Rainbow Bridge.
WE LOVE YOU CHESTER!

Love, Your Family

Chester was an angel kitten, someone I loved with all my heart and who loved me back totally. I miss him so much. I love you Chester

Hillary

Chester (Quest), you will never be forgotten. We thank you for all the years of love and joy you brought this house. We Love You Big Guy!!!!!

Lorie and Donnie

Chester, you were the sweetest, most loving cat we've ever known. You were patient while we pulled you around in the stroller, dressed you up in doll clothes, and posed you for photographs. No pet has ever loved or been loved so deeply, nor been missed so much. We know you're having a great time at Rainbow Bridge. Wait for us Chester. We'll see you there! We miss you.

Chester was the best dog in the whole world, he was always there for you. He is going to be deeply missed by us. May he rest in peace. We love you "Fatty"

Amy and Mark Caputo

My baby Bacca, you were taken by some idiot driving too fast. I will always remember you and love you. I am having such a hard time dealing with your death. I miss you so, so much. Daddy and I both do. But you will forever live in our hearts and souls. Now you are at the "Rainbow Bridge". Be happy my darling until I see you again. I love you.... Mommy.

Chewey, you were my constant friend and "love bug", always bringing a smile to my face even when things weren't looking bright. I miss watching your excitment when seeing other animals go by, pretending to be a big bully just hoping they would bark at you. You will always be my "happy thought", and the Rainbow Bridge will be my first stop when I join your world, I miss you sweetie !

I love you, Mom

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

Penny

We miss your playful presence. We love you forever, and hope you enjoyed your short life with us together. We miss you so much.

We think about you always.

Chewie we love you.

Chewie died suddenly in his sleep of HCM.

Rog

"Chewy" was rescued off the streets and adopted into a very loving home. His new life was short but full of much love happiness. He will be greatly missed.

Joanne & Chris Zimmermann

To our "bud" Chewy. You left us to go to the Rainbow Bridge tonight, September 21, eight days after our beloved little "girl dog" Charro. Please forgive us, but we could not bear to see you in pain any longer, and we had to accept our final responsibility to you, regardless of how painful it was for us. The three previous operations you had were unable to stop the tumour that was robbing you of your joy of living. The sudden loss last week of your companion Charro was a blow to you in your weakened condition. You have now gone to look after her and show her the way, as you did when you were both with us. You lived up to your roll as mentor and big brother to Charro and we knew your heart was broken without her. You were the most loyal dog that has ever lived and you excelled at doing your job as buddy to your mom, dad, and Charro. You were a "one of a kind" dog, an experienced boater, an outstanding character who always had something to say, and your friends all knew, as you did, that you were more than just another dog. We thank you for the twelve wonderful years we were privileged to spend with you. We are especially thankful you were able to spend the whole summer with us, after we nearly lost you last Christmas. Your Mom, Dad, Allan and your best friends Stan and Marlene will miss you terribly and we will love you and remember you forever.

John and Shirley Hood

This tribute is for chewy, my best friend on earth. He was never in a bad mood or angry, always loving and kind. Although he was only a year and 4 mos. old, he loved me with unconditional love as I loved him. He was taken suddenly by a car on 2-19-99 and my heart will never, ever be the same without him. My heart is so heavy with pain, almost as though it will never heal.. May god bless you, chewy.. I love you always.. Until we meet again..

Love, mommie

In memory of Chewy, who was the very first doggie we met in our new neighborhood. You and David and Loren made us feel so welcome. We will always remember you for that. We were lonely and scared and you made things easier, you sweet ball of fluff. We will miss you, little friend.

Bravo and Ellen

Cheyanne left us very suddenly Monday at 6:30 pm. She had finished eating and we were playing "silly" in the yard when she just shuddered and passed on. She deserved to pass the way she did--quickly and painlessly, but she deserved more years than she had. She had always been very healthy and had just had a great check-up two weeks before. She NEVER knew a moment of cruelty or illness: she was ALWAYS happy and delighted to see everyone. Mild of temperament and sweet of face, she was the finest pet one could want. When I became disabled four years ago, she became my constant companion and friend. We had her since she was 4 months old and we are very thankful for the 7 1/2 years of joy we gave each other.

David Russo & Greg Kamerer

Cheyenne was our golden boy from the time that he was rescued as a day old kitten. He lived up to his name in his fight against FIP this month.

Cheyenne, be free, be happy, you live on forever in our hearts and our souls.

Pray that his loss will help in the understanding of the FIP virus and that one day there will be a cure.

Laura Campbell

My rescue baby, you came to us as an angel and left us a angel with wings. Your life was so short however you left in peace. I will miss you so much baby girl, wait at the bridge with Bizzy, Thor & Killer, we will be there soon. Duchess sends a big paw slap on the head..

We love you big girl.

Daddy and Mommie

Cheyenne was the BEST dog in the universe. Although I love all my animals, he is the shining star that all others are compared to. He's truly my baby son and I can't imagine life with out him. I hope he's playing at Rainbow Bridge and no longer sick and old.

Katrina Sussmeier

Chibita, sorry I should have done more things for you. I miss you a lot.

You were great and loved me more than I loved you. Now I love you more than you loved me.

Chibita, someday I will meet you at Rainbow Bridge with Bonta, Koyuki, Roko, your brothers and sisters.

Please wait and enjoy with your mother. I really love you.

Misa Tanioka

Chi Chi was an angel that we only had for four years. In that short period of time we learned a love that was unending. Our little Chi Chi had a bad heart and had been on heart medication for the past three years, which she took like a little trooper. She was the best little dog that we ever had and her memory will live in us forever.  
We miss you little angel!!

Fran, Cyndee and Rich Cordek

Chi Chi was our first child, and We will never replace her ever. she is missed greatly in our hearts, especially mine. I can't do anything right any more, since she died. I grieve every day, although we have another dog, I'm sure she feels it too, she's lonely.

Debbie Farquharson

Chico, Chico Chung-Chung, Boppo: You were that cute little Chihuahua with big ears that you see on T.V. I remember the day you arrived -- I saw a tiny, tan little puppy only a month old pull up in the car. You looked like a chico and you were so handsome. You were the cutest, and the first person in the family that you took a liking to was Abuelito (grandpa). You loved him so much, you used to sit on the table next to him and bark at anyone who came near! Then, your daddy fattened you up and you became the still-cute thirty pound Chihuahua. But nevertheless, you were always right there next to him, you never left him, not even for a second. Especially when he lost his vision. You were always so good at letting everyone know when he was in trouble. Your bark would ring through the house, and we would know something was wrong. You were the most loyal dog he could have asked for, and you had a very happy, and might I say luxurious life, and you will continue to live that luxurious, spoiled life in our hearts forever. We love you Chico Chihuahua!

Chico was not just a dog. He was my best friend and we understood each other. I feel so lost and alone, and I am going to miss him.

J Hixon

Chico, I love you. You were truly a wonderful and beautiful companion. It is so lonely at home right now. When I drive up the drive-way you are not there to greet me and my heart becomes heavy. I will miss you my little playmate. When I open doors or turn a corner I think of how you would give me a "surprise attack". I think of how I would chase you around the house, or how we would have our dinner together. The times we shared my friend have all been precious to me and there are so many that I will never ever forget you or them. And, so my dear sweetness I say good-bye.

Judy Covington

I miss you every day

Sabrina

Dear Chico,
I loved you ever since the day I came to pick you up when I chased you around the house playfully. My heart was filled with sorrow the day I heard you were sick. I did everything I could to save you, and I still love you from today until the day I die when we meet again. You were the best cat!!!

Your beloved owner, Alex

Chico was a Golden Lab mix who lived to the ripe old age of about 14 years. Before I met Chico, he had who knows, how many different homes and owners. I know, at one time, he lived with drug dealers who were not kind to him. They would throw firecrackers at him which resulted in his life long fear of thunder and lightning. Chico knew first hand what loneliness, neglect and suffering were about. Despite his past, he was affectionate, loyal and smart.  
Chico appreciated every little thing I did for him...a walk, treat, ride in the truck, pat on the head or a tummy rub. I remember fondly how he would always put his paw in my hand beggin' for love...I used to call him, "My Begger For Love"...It took so little to make him happy. As much as I loved Chico, his love and gratitude towards me was 100 times greater.  
The most outstanding and unforgettable thing about Chico were those soft, brown, soulful eyes of his that possessed the ability to communicate... soul to soul...heart to heart. Unless you've experienced it with a dog of your own, I can't fully explain it. 
In the end, Chico developed stomach cancer. The vet said it was the largest tumor he ever saw in a dog. He said that Chico had about two months left to live. Having cancer myself, I could relate. It broke my heart to watch my friend succumb more and more to the cancer. He never once whined or complained. He still went with me for rides in the truck...his most favorite thing in the world to do. Towards the very end, he could no longer jump into the passenger seat and I had to lift him in. He was so brave and had such dignity! By his example, he gave me more courage to deal with my own cancer.  
Then, one morning, Chico collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up. I carried him to the couch and laid him there. I knew, I would have only a few minutes longer to be with him. I stroked his precious head and told him repeatedly how much I love him....Oh, Chico, how much I do love you....how much I will miss you... My tears flowed as he looked into my heart with those wise, old eyes of his. Except for his breathing, Chico laid quietly still, without stirring much for about 40 minutes. And then, with his last ounce of strength, he put his paw in my hand...took in a sudden gulp of air...and as it exhaled slowly and softly from his lungs, he was gone. I shouted, "I love you Chico!"...I wanted it to be the last thing his soul heard as it departed from his body and this earth.  
God gave to Chico and I, the times and love that we shared. Chico is in Heaven now and waits for me there. The moment I arrive there, the first thing I will see is Jesus standing at the gate of Heaven with a big smile for me. At His side sits Chico whom He will give back to me... What a sweet and touching gesture it will be to welcome me home.  
Since Chico's passing, I now have three dogs. I love them all very much but the three of them combined can not replace Chico...there could never be another Chico.  

Chico's forever friend, Carol

To my Chico: the best friend, love, funny, joy bring friend one person could ever hope to find in a lifetime. It is with gratitude that I express these feelings. I am happy for the short time we had together. I still dream of playing with you. See you, be a good boy!

Mary Ann Cevasco

We had 15 wonderful, adventurous years together. Putting you to sleep was the hardest thing I've had to do. But I didn't want you to suffer any more. I stayed with you until the end, and I know you've crossed Rainbow Bridge and you're with Sandy and Lucky. My heart aches, but I know you're in a better place.

Thank you,
Judy

Even though it has been almost 10 months since Chili died, and I have been given 2 wonderful if wacky dogs, I still miss him terribly. Chili was exceptional. I didn't appreciate how truly intelligent he was until I received 2 new dogs who just don't get it. Chili could count to 2 in Spanish. He was a wild puppy, but settled into the gentlest, most loyal companion imaginable. Although cursed by hips so bad he needed double hip surgery before his seventh month of life, although his poor genes succumbed to the lymphoma that took him from me despite chemo, he was blessed with an extraordinary personality. People would often remark that he seemed almost human, with soulful eyes that reflected all our emotions. Even as he lay on his deathbed, he licked away my tears of sadness. And when his vet came to the house for that final goodbye, he lay curled up in my arms as he breathed his last.

I often see him still, perched on the chair, awaiting my return, as always.

Francie Anthony

China,  
          We will miss you forever, thank you for the time you have spent with us. You have given us so much. We hope that someday we will be reunited in another place. We wish you didn't have to leave us so soon. We love you so much!!!  
To the best doggie in the whole world, we will NEVER forget you!!!!!!!

Maia, Celia, Chris, Jake, Daniel

She was the best of friends and my truest companion.

Ching came into my life when he was already 6 years old, on his way to the vet to be "put to sleep;" his owner, divorcing, moved in with her mother, who refused to let Ching stay. I took him with the idea of finding him a home, as I already had MANY pets. By the time we completed the drive to my house, Ching had a home. Ching became the patriarch, clown, and foster parent to all other animals, residents or guests. A wise old soul, he accepted all life offered; as my best friend, he traveled EXTENSIVELY up and down the east coast, and lived in Jacksonville, Gainesville, Atlanta, and Wilmington, Delaware. He attended 4 years of veterinary school with me and shared my senior picture in the class yearbook, and was on a first name basis with my classmates. He later shared my husband and HIS cats when I married, and was the first thing out of the house when we divorced and slept on the floor with me when we moved into an unfurnished apartment in a strange town. Ching had had arthritis for years, due to an overaggressive declawing procedure when he was very young. By the time he was 15, he needed help for up and down. By 18 he needed a flat litter box, and his kidneys began to fail. He patiently endured under-the-skin fluids during his last year, but maintained his love to just be alive and in my lap, and still watched the "bird movies" in the trees outside the window, in between grooming Leuk, the kitten he'd raised a few years earlier. In January of 95, Ching's kidneys stopped working, and he asked for release. Another veterinarian friend and my ex-husband came to be with us and provide the kindness needed for departure. We all lay down and held him and in seconds he was gone. My BEST friend. Not a day passes I do think of him, miss him, laugh at "Ching stories" with someone...and look forward to reunion one day. I know he is doing the same.

Chip you were and are our special girl. We saved you and treated you like our daughter. Thank you for bringing us so much joy and laughter even towards the end. We watched you cross over rainbow bridge and saw your pain disappear. Don't wait for us at the bridge, go play and romp the way you couldn't at the when it hurt too much. You will always be loved and remembered. Goodbye Foo-Girl. Love Mommy, Daddy & Anais  
(Loreen, Edward, & Anais Pantaleone)

To my good friend of 12 yrs. I'm not going to even try to put in words what Chipper meant to me, because it would be impossible. Life goes on...

Dan

I love my Chippy,
and I will never forget his kindred soul,
he is forever in my heart,
until one day we are reunited

Chippy, you are my best friend and to go through life without you is hard to bear,
I love you so much,
and I hope you're happy and up in dog heaven.

Always in my thoughts.
you are never alone, and remember your family will always love you.

Love Denise.

Denise Choi

My little baby died last Tuesday, 8/10/99 after 24 hrs of being administered 3 vaccines. She did not deserve to die in the amount of pain she did. She was the source of endless joy in this home. I am currently evaluating whether I choose pursue legal action. Nothing can bring my baby back so her unexpected and sudden death does not let me sleep at night.

Diana

You will forever be in our hearts. Your presence will be with us until we meet at the bridge. I remember the day I brought you home to your mate. As the days went by you grew, you charmed everybody that came in contact with you with your nobility and peacefulness. Yet, you would protect your mate with every ounce of your strength. Chiquita, you will never be replaced.

Love: Victor, Tania, Victor Jr., and all of our other animals.

This is a tribute to my beloved Chiri.  
You were so young when you were sent to the rainbow bridge. I said a little prayer to your big brothers who are already there to take care of you. You brought happiness to me everyday. I love you with all my heart and soul. I will think of you everyday until the time comes when we will meet again. Until then, je t'adore mon ami.

Lee

Beloved pet, and love of our lives. He even liked to ride on a bicycle.

Martin and Kathy Felix

Chloe was a stray we found. She was obviously abused as she was covered in scars and scabs when found. She wouldn't come out from under the couch for almost three months except to eat. She still couldn't let anyone she didn't know touch her.

She came to trust me and my husband finally, and when she did she proved to have the most loving soul. After all she went through you would have thought she would have been cross, but she was so gentle, I can't even describe it. She loved it here so much, a few times someone left the gate to the backyard open and she didn't even step through. Afraid she would lose the love she was getting here. She followed me from run to run, a fact I sometimes found annoying, but would give anything to have again.

But we had her for a little over five wonderful, marvelous, too short years. She died Monday, December 14, 1990 of a massive tumour on her liver. We tried everything, and we would have been willing to sell our cars, my jewelry anything to make her well. But they couldn't help her. I just want her to come home!!!

My other dog Peanut, does not know what to do with himself, he keeps looking for her, they were inseparable. The poor little guy. He looks so sad.

She was without doubt the sweetest soul that walked this earth. The earth is a less kind place without her. Please who ever reads this, say a prayer for the soul of a dog who was not pretty in face, but beyond beautiful in spirit.

Please ask that Jesus keep her safe, as she may be afraid without Mommy there. And that she not be afraid anymore of anyone hurting her. Please let her know how much she was loved. Please ask that Mommy, Daddy and Peanut meet her again in Heaven. Because without her with me, it would not be total peace in the hereafter.

I loved her soooooooooo much, the pain is beyond bearing right now.

I'll love you forever 'Clumpy-girl'.

Mommy
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

To our precious baby bunny, Chloe.  
You were here such a short time but you certainly left your little paw prints on our hearts. God saw what a special and beautiful bunny you were and lifted you up to heaven so he could be closer to you. We will see you again at Rainbow Bridge but until then, know that Mom & Dad will always love you.

Well Chy-Chy the prettiest little lady in the whole wide world. I never thought that the day would come that we would all have to say good bye to you. We all love you and miss you very much. I never liked cats until we got you .You always helped us, you were perfect. When we had bad days your goofy and caring personality was always there to help us. We miss you Pete. Nothing will ever replace you, Baby Chy. Dad, Mom, Sissa and Jeff miss you and love you and look forward to seeing you one of these days. We don't know what we will do without you, a piece of us is missing now my little girl. Good bye my little sweetheart!!!

Candy Anderson

My dog Chloe always wanted to be with me. When I cleaned the house she followed me from room to room. At night she always slept on my pillow by my head. She was a happy playful dog and had lots of energy. She could almost talk she would make the funniest sounds. Instead of growling or barking she would go "rooo". It was so cute and unique. I loved her very very much.

Amy Noel Moreland

Chloe was the sweetest creature I have ever met. I always said that she didn't seem like a cat... but more like a dog-monkey-baby. She would always want to be in my arms and would put each paw around my neck like she was hugging or clinging, just like a baby would. She'd bury her face in my hair and would try to be as close as she possibly could. Every morning when I woke up, she was at the base of my bed and would meow her "Good Morning" to me, over and over again. She constantly spoke and would just stare into your soul when she caught your gaze. I have never felt such unfettered communication with another person or creature. She loved to do "the dance" on my belly... and would get into a sort of trance. She'd dance for hours if I'd let her She loved to knead and bury her face in my hair. The funny thing is: sometimes her neediness was overwhelming to me and I would make her stop and lay down. She was so patient with me. She would come when I called, she would lay down and wait for me to pet her... she was so calm and grounded. I feel that she was an old soul and that she taught me what it really meant to be close to animals - to really understand how equal we all are in the universe... that there is no difference between me and her. Thank you so much for all of your love and time. I am so lucky to have been special in your life. I will always remember and love you, my sweet pumpkin girl. Let's meet again soon.

Kelly Atkins

For almost seven years Chloe brought more joy to my life than I could ever express with words. She took care of me when I was sick or scared. She never turned her back on me because I did something stupid. She loved me no matter what.  
She was very smart. When we would go on walks she would walk around the same side of a poll that I walked on, she would move over to the next seat in a car so you could sit down. She would follow me around the house and had to be in the same room that I was in. When we would sleep at night she had to be plastered against me from head to tail. I would wake up on the edge of the bed and she would have all the rest (if she wasn't sleeping with her head on the pillow and tucked under the covers).  
She knew when it was time to go to the park, and there would be no discussion about it. She had no idea that she was just a 12lb. snack for a big dog, her life was just that- hers!  
Everyone loved Chloe, and I will never forget her!  
I can not wait to see her again - I love you Chloe - Kami

Chloe was a sweetheart and I miss her terribly. She died from A-plastic Anemia. She lived about a month after she was diagnosed and I nursed her to the end. Such a waste of a sweet life.

Phyllis Partin

Gentle spirit and loving heart, you will be missed at Circle H.
Mama Heather will always hold you in her heart.

To our little cocobeaner,

You were our first little baby and our only little girl. You gave us so much pleasure in our lives and we can only hope that your time with us was as good. We will never forget you as long as we live and know that we will be together again someday. So you hang on little girl and eat all the greens and carrots you want and we will join you later. And we will take comfort in the fact that every morning when we wake up and see the sun shining, it will be you smiling down upon us letting us know that you are happy and well. We love you sunshine and miss you more than words can express.

Mommy & Daddy

Dear Chloe:

You came into our lives after you had been abused and abandoned by uncaring humans. You could barely walk on your back legs, you could not hear, your eyesight was poor, and you were frail and sickly, and you only cried and never barked. We nursed you to good health with lots of love, care and medicine and you began to thrive because you found some special people who did not take the easy way out by giving up on you again. You only spent two years in our lives but you were so loved and we will dearly miss you-- our special girl-- our little ""glow worm."" We held you in our arms and you felt our love and our tears and when we had to put you to sleep because your little body could not fight for life any longer. Good-bye for now but we will meet again someday at the Rainbow Bridge. Please give doggie kisses from us to all our other animal friends we have loved before you came to us and who are with you now! Love Mommy, Daddy, Sydney and Ally.

You were an angel from God and the most precious soul I ever met. I will cherish the memory of you always. I miss your sweet face and bright eyes, your gentle touch and kisses, and your barking. I loved you so much and you loved me more than I deserved.

Mama, and I will love you forever.

Your Nancy

Our poor little cat climbed into the drier when I wasn't looking. Please make sure you establish firm rules about using laundry driers, especially with kittens, since they love to climb into them.

We miss you, Chloe.

Paul

I can't believe he's gone, but he'll always be alive in all our hearts.

Allie

Dear Choddie, you came to me unwanted by others and lavished your love on me without relent. No one who met you could ever have walked away unchanged by your gentleness and specialness. Those early months when your head was small enough to fit in a cup to drink the last of our tea, and the way you would always share your stolen goodies with the others. The way you made yourself the protector of all the cats that came to stay during your life made you a special uncle to them all. Dear friend, not a day will pass without you being in my thoughts. Please wait for me at Rainbow Bridge and I'll be looking for you too. I'll miss you until we meet again.

Love ever

Dad

A day doesn't go by that I don't think of you Chong..I am still having a hard time with you leaving me. I'm sorry I didn't know that you were getting weaker and weaker as the months went by. I remember the day when I let you outside and you layed down on the ground, it was a strange occurrence and didn't know till know that you just didn't have the strength to stand up. I hope you forgive me for being so blind..If I only knew..I keep looking for you and find myself trying to listen for your bark, but that will never happen. I heard of this place Chong, called the Rainbow Bridge. I know right now your feeling better and jumping around, like you always did, but when that day comes for me we will meet at the Rainbow Bridge and then we will cross it together. We all miss you Chong, especially Taffy..She gave it all she could but she has joined you today. You and Taffy have to wait for me, we will be together once again. I miss you..

Darryl

Chris was the best pal I could've asked for. She was a happy dog who enjoyed people and animals alike. She was a little dog with a lot of heart who would perform whatever was requested of her. I will remember her bright eyes and quiet, loving nature. Chris loved nothing better than to spend time with her human buddies. She accepted things as they came to her and gave her unconditional love to the end of her life. Her death has left a void in my heart and she will always occupy

I love you, Chris ... and I know we'll be together when we cross that Bridge.

Cynthia Przytula

My dear Chrissie, you left before I could say goodbye and my heart is breaking. I hope you enjoy the sunshine and all the other sugarbabies that you meet on your journey. I hope you find a big soft fluffy cloud to rest on. Someday we'll be together again my big soft fluffy cat. I love you baby and I miss you so much.

Larry Kudeviz

My dear Chrissie, you left before I could say goodbye and my heart is breaking. Enjoy the sunshine and all the other sugarbabies that you meet. I hope there is a big soft cloud for you to rest on. And one day we'll be together. Goodbye my big fat softy cat. I love you baby.

Carol

Chrissy was a beautiful white poodle - she had copper-colored ears when she was just a puppy. She was the first pet I ever owned. I cannot describe how much fun it was to have her as a constant friend and companion for 17 and 1/2 years (to the very day). Her favorite phrases were "have a cookie", "go for a walk" and "take a ride in the car". She was with us with every move to a new home and as our family grew with our two children. We love her and miss her so very much. I am glad she has a place now over the bridge.

Rick, Karen, Kayla and Ryan

My Beautiful Baby Girl

Vic

We got Christina at age 7 weeks and she shared our lives until her little body just gave out on 3/4/99 and she went to Rainbow Bridge to be with her sister Sunny who went there in October, 1997. Christina was feisty, strong willed, so loving, and a true lady. She was never scared of any other dog and yet would curl up in your lap like a little puppy. She loved pizza and bread yet never got chubby. She was a LOVE and we love her and miss her so very, very much!

Austin & Suzanne Case

God has lots of treats and string for you, kitty boy.
We will all meet you at Rainbow Bridge.
We all love you and miss you.
Mom, Dad, Shirley, Smokey and Little Bob.

Jay

Christopher: loyal, arrogant, feisty companion; first cat; outspoken Ruler of my home for 16 1/2 years. Born on a farm, offered "free to anyone", you were just 8 weeks old, but already tales of your mischief making and adventures had begun to circulate. So it was, that Christopher (after Columbus) you were named. Being both of us so young and just starting out in life, you engaged me in leaf battles, stole licks of cake batter, strutted outdoors on your harness, relished the weekly beef cube, survived 4 moves. With time, came new responsibilities: seeing me thru college, graduation, work. Spoiled, worried over, indulged, you repaid me by feeding my imagination stories and art and keeping me company during all those months I was so ill. Your finest hour was when Cats Magazine ran your photograph and published our story of your thyroid surgery.  
In the end, it was you who passed the torch to Louie. Frail, your kidney's failing, you left this world from my arms just as the flowers and trees were bursting into bloom, on the holiest of days. As always, blazing a trail to a new world that the rest of us might one day follow.  
The years come and go, but I have not forgotten you, Chris. Your purr is missed and your memories still bring smiles.

-Linda.

The smartest dog I have ever known and a great friend.

Doug McQuain

Christopher: He was my best boy, my crystal boy, my special grey love who was smart, funny and ornery all at once. He was gone so quickly it has been a shock to us all and we grieve every minute. When I get home there's no cry to "hurry up and turn on the water in the sink I'm thirsty!". And no need to go back and open every door again to let out the nosy boy who just had to explore the closet or that closed room. He was just a tiny kitten when I got him who trusted me completely. He didn't know there was any danger in the world since Mom was with him. We had almost 10 years together.
I miss you, baby.

Carol Hutton

Chris was absolutely the sweetest cat I have ever known. Even during the worst part of his illness he had a purr for any of his human friends who came to visit. There is a palpable absence in our house without him and we miss him enormously.

Heidi

Our friends - our funny, golden, sweet, back-seat-surfing doggy, and his all-knowing, foot-warming, green-eyed kitty buddy, are gone, off together on another excellent adventure. We didn't have enough time to run, to jump, to eat, to sleep, to pose, to roll on the floor and sniff telephone poles and trees. Chub, the dog with the Elvis smile and big heart, and Mr. Kitty, who walked like John Wayne and taught us how to grow old with grace, made us make the time. They made us better people. We were so, so lucky to have known them.

Britt and Doug Kennerly

To a sweet and brave little soul, who suffered from diabetes during his short life, but who brought us great joy and will be forever cherished and greatly missed.

Pam Bowyer

I love my dog Chubs. he was only a year old when he died. I was afraid of him but when I got to know him he was the sweetest little puppy I ever knew. I hope to see him at the bridge.

*Amy*

Mama misses you so very very much. I wish you were here with me every day & every day I think of you. You are in a better place now with no pain. You were always a good little boy My sweetie pie honey boy. A one of a kind the best that there has ever been, I love you Chuckie bun's! You will forever be in the most special place in my heart.

It's been 8 month's and I miss you so much every day. I can't help but to cry when I think of you. Mommy will be with you someday. I miss you soooo much.

I Love You,
Mama

Chuck was a very special dog, at least to my son and I. I cannot imagine life without him. Smart and handsome. I take comfort in knowing he is now free from pain. His calico cat, Tasha, went on two years before and was waiting for him so he wouldn't be alone. We love you, our Chuckie-pie.

Jean Dietz

Farewell to our special love. We feel her in our hearts and in our presence and in the light of the world around us. Farewell dear soul, please wait for us at the rainbow bridge

Bev and Mel Wilde

Dear Sweet Little Chuie we will miss you always.

Brenda

Chung came to us as a kitten in the fall of 1986. Since that time he has been with me through so much, my little "comforter". He was the most gentle, loving, mannerly cat I have ever known. His favorite antic was jumping on the bed while I was trying to change it. Even if I set him off of it and onto the hamper, he would wait poised until a fluffed sheet would begin to float down, then he would LEAP onto it and try to catch the bubbles. A year ago he was diagnosed with renal disease, and since that time we have been treating him, to the point of giving him subcutaneous dialysis. Through all the tests, medicines, and treatment he was so forgiving. He would always come back to my lap and purr. A couple of weeks ago his appetite took a nosedive. The vet said we could insert a feeding tube, but I knew the time had come to let him go. He passed away early this morning at around 3AM. I had slept on the floor with him and was with him when the angels came to get him. Before we buried him this morning I made a plaster cast of his pawprints. Chung, you were truly the most wonderful cat to ever walk this earth and I will see you again someday. Until then you will always be in my heart. I love you and I miss you so much already.

Jeanie

I hope you hear me my best friend and I hope you are now in that special loving place that is so much better than this. You left this place in a most terrible way more than I will ever imagine. As I tried so hard to breathe my life's breath back into you I knew I had lost everything that was really important to me. Please forgive me, I will make everything up to you when we meet again for I know I will have eternity to do so.....I love you forever my honey man.

Daddy

Chynna our special little girl, you were so young, but we shared so much in the short time you were with us. We miss you.

Stella & Roger Walker

Ciara, we only had you for a very short while and we feel the pain of losing you so much. But we will be together again and until then keep stealing those "Barbie dolls" You will be sadly missed by us and "the gang"

Barb

Thank you for the 14 years of unconditional love you gave.  
I miss you so much. You are my angel and always will be. God trusted us to take care of you and I am so thankful for all the years of love you gave us. You will always be with me in spirit. You have your own big spot in my heart. You can lay in all the sunbeams you want now and stay warm.  
I love you babydoll.

Cindi, (Chi Chi Bean) was a most beloved mixed dog. Her birthdate was 2/14/83 and she went to eternal sleep on 5/21/99. Cindi has been a dog of much strength, determination, and a will to live. Our hearts ache for her. Her high pitch bark, always welcomed us home and her big brown eyes just radiated her love.

Dearest Cindi, please know that it was not our decision, but it was the will of God that we had to return you before you suffered any more. He gave you to us with the understanding that He would call you back, and when He did we would have to give you back. Look now for He has restored your legs, your energy, and life. Go in peace, and run with Sheba and Sammy again. Til we meet at the Bridge, love from Mike, Laura and Jamie.

Cindy was such a cool cat, she never minded if we pat her or picked her up, I was young then so I admit that I did some nasty things to her but I still loved her and when I was 8 and she was put down it was really sad, everyone cried, I will love her and I will never forget her, since then we got another cat, his name is Butch and he is just as sweet as her, I will never forget her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nicola

We were lucky enough to have Cindy for 14 years. She's gone now and I don't know what to do without her. She was my office mate, my little doll and my baby. She was taken from me in a tragic way and it hurts not to have her anymore. Your were always there for me, your sweet little bark and your soft little curly fur. I love you forever!!!!!! Your mommy.

Rest In Peace my child, and know that your presence made a difference while on this Earth.
My life was so greatly enriched simply because you were there. You taught me how to love and how to forgive.

Worry not, my faithful and devoted companion.

I will remember you.  
I will remember our chasing each other around the house and how much fun it was for you (and me).  
I will remember your running to find something, anything to grab and shake vigorously after we wrestled and played on the floor.  
I will remember our taking naps together.  
I will remember you waiting for me wake up so you could lick my face to say "Good Morning"  
I will remember you whimpering because you were getting impatient waiting for me to wake up so you could lick my face to say "Good Morning"  
I will remember how you loved me in spite of myself and my bad moods.  
I will remember rubbing the backs of your ears and how you grunted with delight.  
I will remember those long work nights, when all you desired was to sleep next to my feet.  
I will remember watching you drink water and wonder why it always had to be from the very edge of the pan.  
I will remember how kind you were to others, even at the end when you must have been in terrible pain.  
I will remember the way you rested your head on my thigh and looked at me with the most loving eyes I have ever seen.  
I will remember...

Please forgive me for any wrongs I committed, my precious little girl. Thoughts of the times I was upset with you fill me greatly with guilt for it was not you that I was upset with most of the time - it was something else going on in my life that I unfairly directed toward you. For that, I am ashamed and beg your forgiveness.

All I ask from you, Cindy, is that you remember these 4 truths, for they emanate from the deepest part of my being. They are that:

* I loved you with everything I had - unconditionally. You didn't have to be anything other than who you were (and who you were not)
* I miss you so very much and wonder if the pain in my heart and the hole in my soul will ever heal (or if I ever want it to)
* You own a huge place in my heart that will not be shared, replaced or given to anyone or anything - ever.

And finally, probably the most important truth of all, You were truly, faithfully and without a doubt, the perfect example of:

It was 21 years ago that I found her, a scared puppy in a sack ready to be thrown off the Narrows Bridge. I didn't want a dog and I couldn't afford a dog but when I opened that squirming sack and looked into those huge brown eyes I knew!! I just knew I had to bring her home. Cindy lived a happy and contented life for 12 years until the day she went "walk-about" with our Lab. She was hit by a car but none of the neighbors would tell me as I was so distraught. I searched and searched until the call came from the pound. It has been so many years since she passed on but I still think of her each day! Thank you Cindy for the happiness you gave me for all those years.

Mariam

My beloved companion of 18 years passed peacefully on to the rainbow bridge early today after spending the last day of her life nestled in her mommy's arms. She loved me unconditionally for every moment of our time together. What a wonderful gift she was.

L. Thornhill

Sweet Circe, I still miss your utterly happy love for life (and for turkey). You were so strong, fighting and still loving life through two strokes and cancer. Your spirit was amazing.

Ginger-lyn Summer

Goodbye little cat, it's too cold and quiet here without you. We love you.

Don and Phyl

Hey my sweet Cis,

You were everything a horse could be - and so much more! Leaving me when you did was by no means the ideal time in my life, but for you, it had to be. I couldn't stand by and watch you suffer, pal. I love you more than that, and I have too much respect for you. There was nothing anyone could have done so at least I know I had no other choice. I want you to always be strong and run free, and you wouldn't have been able to have that anymore here on earth. I know you miss me and I miss you too, but we'll have it all again one day.

For now, eat lots of grass, get some exercise, and try to keep the buckies and squealies to a reasonable level. Take it easy on all the pretty mares too, pal - they won't be used to some hot young thing like you!

Love you always,
Shari
xxoo

You brought us such joy through the years and we will miss you dearly.
You will remain in our thoughts and hearts forever.

Karen & Steve

Hey Smart Ass,
Today is your 25th birthday. It's so hard to believe that it's been nearly that long since we brought you home - a tiny 6 wks baby. You did so many things in your short 14 years. People from all over the country would flock to see you perform in the obedience ring. And perform you did. That earned you your nickname. Everyone loved you. You taught so many children junior showmanship. One could just hear you say, "Come on, kid. Just follow my lead. I have this down pat." You still hold the oldest dog to earn a United KC U-CDX title. You were 13 years, 2 months and 16 days when you got your 3rd leg. Even better, you did it with a 1st, a 2nd and a 4th in Open B and qualified for the Gaines Regionals along the way. No one will ever take your place as #1 in my heart. I'll see you at the Bridge, my special boy.

Karen Evans

To our dearest heart, our little star, and now our angel in heaven, We love you so, so much Cissie. And although our hearts are broken into a million pieces right now, we know that we are blessed beyond our wildest dreams to have been in your presence for even a moment. Daddy and I know that Tater was waiting at the bridge for you so we know you won't be too lonely. Watch for us too sweetie...someday we will all be back together again...and have our whole family forever. Love and kisses forever, babyheart. Don't forget how much we love you, Mommy and Daddy

Cissy, You have been with me through many good and bad times. You were there when no one else was! I wasn't ready to let go!!! I know you were strong to the end. You never gave up.. But your heart did!! It is ok.. I will be ok.. I will always love and miss you!!! I know you are in a better place. You will always be in that special place in my heart.  
I knew it would hurt when it was time for you to go.. I just didn't know that it would hurt this much!!!  
I love you Cissy!!!

My wonderful CJ.. You were a big part of my life for so long. Life isn't the same. I miss you terribly but I know you are not in anymore pain.. I long for the day we will meet again.. Goodbye my friend.. I miss you so much.

Stephanie

A loving friend is suddenly gone,
Leaving a large hole in my heart.

Marlee

We loved you dearly in the short year that we spent together. We miss you so, but we know that you will be a wonderful kitty angel. We will meet again at the Rainbow Bridge, but always know you are in our hearts. Be at peace, my little Clancey boy.

To Clancy at Rainbow Bridge, Hi Clancy, I Love You and I miss you so much. Even Daisy misses you!! I have you in my heart always. I remember the fun times we had and we will have them again at Rainbow Bridge. Stay purrfectly content and watch over us. Love your lonely mistress Emmy

Clancy you were such a wonderful dog-you filled our lives with such joy and happiness-you were such a special "child" to us; we will always miss you and nothing will ever replace the love we had for you--you were one of a kind and such a great dog--we love you and miss you terribly....

Charshill

Clara was the a part of the family and a source of unconditional love for all of us.

C & M

Our Beloved Friend, Protector and Loyal Companion. We will miss you more than you could even have known. The knowledge that you're no longer suffering is nearly as comforting as the love you gave us for so so long. The memory of your unwavering dedication will live on forever. Goodnight, Sweet Puppy.

Mike & Mike

My little Claire left too soon and at such a young age. She was hit by a car early Friday morning after I had left for school. I feel a tremendous amount of guilt, if only I would have put her inside instead of leaving her out for the day. I had never been so attached to an animal before as I was to my little baby. She just left too soon. I have felt more pain this weekend than I have ever felt before, and this has indeed been the worst weekend of my life. Even though I know she is at Rainbow Bridge, I just can't cope. She was so happy here on Earth. I know she is a little angel watching over me now and I know that we will be reunited once again and cross the bridge together, but until then, I will cherish the memories I had with my little baby. Even though she was on this Earth for a short time, the lessons she taught me will last forever. I miss my little one.

I love you Claire.
Your mommy who loves you forever,
Jenna

Your mother was our first Boston Terrier. You and your sister were so cute we had to keep you. You lived life wide open, scrapping with your sister and keeping the next generation in line. And what a good job you did. You are gone but not forgotten. we love and miss you and always will. mom

I loved Claude more than anything in the world; more than the world. I wish I could just hold him and pet him one more time. He was just my baby and I want him back; I just want to hold him one more time and say goodbye. Claude was the most special person to me in the whole world.

Brandon Skelding

To Claudito Bandito, my Gattito:

You filled my life with such love and joy. As you play and wait at the Rainbow Bridge, maybe you'll remember me holding you like a baby and singing "You Are My Sunshine" to you almost every day. Such a loving, tolerant cow-kitty!! My heart breaks that the time has come so soon to sing to you the second verse:

     "The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
     I dreamed I held you close to me.
     When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
     And I hung my head and I cried."

Lora

I made one of the most difficult decisions of my life last week and allowed Clayton to pass peacefully on July 8 from kidney disease. He fought against it since January, but last week he finally gave me the signs that his body was worn out. For 10 of his 11 years, he was a dog with "a lot of personality." I waited for him to calm down starting at 1 1/2 years -- it didn't happen until a year ago when he first became ill. Through my tears, I remember the dog he truly was.

Ethel

Dear Clemmie: Your Mommie misses you very much and is very sorry that she couldn't have been with you when you left her. She hopes that your passing was peaceful for you. She tried very hard to fix what was wrong with you. I hope that you have found Bubba at the Bridge and that the two of you have become very special friends. We love you very much.

xxoo Aunt Linda and Mom

To My Beautiful, Little Girl Clementine Joelle,  
You were so brief in this life, but will remain an angel in my heart forever. Please know how loved and cherished you still are, and will always be. I would have given anything to have been able to save you...

Sadly Missed by Your Mom, Dia  
I will always be so proud to have been chosen by God to be your mom. I love you...

"Little Cleo" taught us the true meaning of unconditional love. It is difficult to put into words just how sweet and gentle this wonderful creature was. We are grateful for the many ways she enriched our lives and are thankful we could be there to ease her departure into the next world.

Farewell for now, sweet little Pookie. We love you.

Stan & Nikki Hall

To our "Sweetness and Light" --We will always cherish the love and joy you have brought to our lives. Your presence will always be missed.
You will forever remain in our hearts. You made our house into a home. We love you!

Elissa, Mark and Darya Koczela

Happy Dog, may you continue to spread sunshine wherever you go.

Jenny Stein

Cleo was my best friend, the one who grew with me from little girl to college student. I loved the way she barked at the water when we went swimming and the way she perked up her ears and looked so damn cute. I'm already missing the naps we used to take out underneath the tree in the back yard on hot summer days and how she'd slobber my face when she was happy. I miss you so much, Cleo. I'll never, ever forget you. I love you.

Sarafina

After 2 yrs, I still cry for her.
I want my best friend back....

Rosie

She was the best, my 'Nooges', my shadow.  
My best friend, my guardian, my companion, and my soulmate.  
She was my world.

She is now at peace at the Rainbow Bridge, where every blissful hour is mealtime, the swimming endless, and there are no such indignities as 'seizure' salad.

Cleo hated the UPS man that delivered to our house. I know she is at peace now and is chasing this man.  
At the Bridge, she is finally allowed to bite him.

Forever loved, cherished and deeply missed by Kim, L.J., and the furkids, Murphy, Midge, Sarah and especially Harley-wobble who worshipped her.

Kim Rushnell

Cleo, I will miss you always. You took a part of me with you when you died. Happy Anniversary in Heaven, wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Janet Beck

They say memories are golden,
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly.
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain is linked again

IN MEMORY OF CLEO

9/18/92 to 4/02/98

You blessed my life for far too short a time.
Please know that I love you forever and miss you every day.

Lyn

Your presence in ours lives is deeply missed. Just to look at you calmed us and brought us joy. You were a beautiful soul in the shape of a dog. May we meet again.

Susan and Gita

To my special little Tiger. You were always around to comfort me, to make me laugh, to play, and to keep me company. I shall miss you always Mischief. Be Happy.

Annette

Cleo came into our lives the very day my Mother passed away. She was a most important part in out lives. She became ill over a year ago with a tumor in her nasal cavity. And finally today I had to let her go. I prayed to my Mother to please meet her and care for her. She will be scared that we aren't with her. And for Mom to take care of her until we are all together. But my heart is breaking so.

JosNails

Our dear, sweet Cleo, so many years have already gone by, but no amount of time will diminish our love for you. As our first dog, you taught us what a great joy a wonderful pal like you can bring. We miss you very much.

Elaine & Greg

Cleo, along with her daughters Catie and Skeeter, and her son Alex, passed away in a house fire on 12/27/98. I loved her more than life itself. I will miss her for the rest of my life. She was my best friend who shared her life with me completely and totally. I was truly blessed to have this beautiful creature in my life. She was a beautiful seal tortie point Siamese. She had spunk and fire and lived life to the fullest. She was awesome.

Karen Kennedy

Cleo we will always love and miss you even if we get another cat. Loving you still and always.

Randi and Michelle

A bird all her own. Had health problems, but received love with me while here. Be well now my friend.

Tammy

Cleo
It's been many years since you passed away, I miss you as if it still were today. I still haven't found another friend cause they can't compare to you in the end. So as I go on without you day by day I want you to know I'll see you someday. Until then ....

Michelle

Cleo was our only pet for many years. Due to an illness we had to have Her put to sleep.  
Be brave my lovely girl, be at peace and pain free. We love you always and you are in our prayers. You will be greatly missed. We will see you again. In the meantime play and have fun. Your loving family.

The Doyle Family

Clifford, you were the most wonderful pet anyone could ever hope for. I miss you so much and will always love you. I hope that here is plenty of chocolate, pasta, and cats to chase were you are. Mommy loves you, Cliff. And we'll miss you so much when your not there to sit around the campfire with us. I'm sure we'll be together again someday.

Hilary

Clifford was a 13 year-old Old English Sheepdog who died on Tuesday January 12, 1999 of cardiopulmonary failure while being prepped for emergency exploratory surgery. We knew the danger of the anesthesia, but without surgery - there was absolutely no hope. He had a large mass in his abdomen and had stopped eating - dangerous for a diabetic. We thought we were "prepared for the worst", but it was harder than I had ever imagined. We miss him VERY much and there is a HUGE void in our lives. We love you Bubba.

Pat & Becky Veber

Cloe,

With soft-stepping paws, ticklish whiskers, and loving ways, you came into our lives and made our world a better place. We love you with all of our being, and miss you so much. Our heart is broken without you. We hope you are in a better place where there is no pain, only joy, love, and warmth. We love you, and forever will miss you. Thank you for all you gave us. I love you, pa loves you, and Zoe loves you. Gabby thanks you. You taught us so much. Goodbye for a little while, tiny special one. Someday, we'll meet again. We love you. We love you.

Mummy, Pa, and Zoe and Gabby.

I want to thank you Cloe for the pure love you showed me and the happiness you gave me in the short period of time you were on earth... You are Loved and Missed... And Brandy still crys for you at night...and I miss you beyond all tears.

Jennifer

Clover, I know you were with us for only a short time but please know that you are loved & remembered.

Jenn

'they are never truly gone as long as there is someone who remembers'
So much love- so many sweet memories
Rest in peace baby- Mummy loves you always
Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge.......

Lesley

It would be appreciated if a special moment could be observed by Clyde; he was the best companion anyone could ever ask for, he was my best buddy, and he is missed.

Donna Cubbon

This is to my baby boy who I will miss forever :( He was very special to our family and not to mention our first dog. When I found this place it made me cry all over again but with reading and seeing everything and listening to the music, it has now helped. Unfortunately this happened back in April BOY do I wish I had found this place then. I am better now but it still hurts a lot. Well thank you to all for listening to me. I will be thinking of all your furbabies along with mine :( :) Laura

Clyde was a stray that came into my life 17 years ago.  
He brought joy and frustration, but, always love.  
I will miss him.  
The hole in my heart is deep and wide.  
I just wish he could be back at my side.  
Running and playing, chasing the squirrels.  
Wagging his tail as I come in the door.  
My life will go on, and the sadness I feel now will lighten with time, but my heart will always long for him.  
He brought light and happiness to this home, I know wherever he is now that light will brighten the sky.

Bonnie Delgado

Clyde was a great dog.

Colby Hall

Clyde cat, you were a wonderful friend to the entire family. You were giving of yourself right down to the last minute when you forced out you wonderful purr to me because you knew how upset I was. I am sure you know how loved you were and how we will never stop loving you nor will we ever forget you. You are a part of us. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

Tracey DeCredico

The best girl.

Todd & Chris Cook

Cobber means "old pal" in Australian slang and never did a dog live up to her name more than this little gal. She will be forever missed.

Nancy Johnson & Truman Brandt

You were our special little soul and mommy & daddy are missing you greatly. Rest in Peace my little love.

Your affection and elegance are still missed. Love you.
Mommy

My cat died a week ago and I'll always miss him. Goodbye to a special and never forgotten friend.

With love, you loving Jessica

P.S. Say to Cody I will always love him.

CoCo came into our lives on a cold October night. She was a 6 week old stray that we found late at night shivering and starving. We immediately loved her and took her in. It took her weeks to trust us but she finally did and has never stopped loving or trusting us. We had 13 wonderful years together, and now, she has succumbed to a tumor of the chest. She went gently into the night today on this Friday the 13th. She will be forever treasured in our hearts and we look eagerly forward to the day we will see her again.

Bonnie and Dermot

You literally reached out and asked us to bring you home. From that day until your last you brought nothing but beauty and joy. We miss our little lady.

Georgia

We love you so much and are so sorry we couldn't make you better. You are a joy and are in our hearts forever.

Debi & Jay Evans

Coco thank you for always unconditionally giving us your sweet sweet love for 16 years, even until the very end.

Mary & Daughter Sabrina

Dear Coco, thank you so much for being there when I needed you. You were such a beautiful parrot. With colors of blue, green, yellow, white, red, and black. You were the most intelligent pet I had ever shared my love with. I would sometimes think you would understand me. When I started crying you somehow knew I was feeling sad and you gave me kisses and started singing to me. You wouldn't let anyone pet you but me, you would bite anyone else. I tried to teach you not to and you were very patient with me. You would ask me if I was alright whenever something seemed wrong, and you would greet me in the morning with a cheery "Good Morning!" And a sleepy, "Good Night" when it was time for bed. I love you so much and I miss you deeply. You left me in one of the most difficult situations of my life and I guess I have to learn to be strong and you have helped me achieve that. On the day you died I clutched you body and sobbed and cried out "why?" in between breaths. I wish you weren't gone but I will always have the happy memories of our times spent together. I love you my dear sweet Coco.

Ahki Hasegawa

It has been months since you left my life and each passing day is a reminder of how much you meant to my life....you are and always will be a part of my life "little man"...I know that your life here was short but, each moment we spent together will last a lifetime within my memories. Sometimes I still look for you to greet me as I come home from work to ask me how my day was in your on special way...rest peacefully Coco.....you are and always be the pet that made a difference in my life..I miss you and I love you always....

Phillip Williams

Such a sweet pet, and such a good girl right up to the very end. We will miss her terribly.

Ralph & Pat Trent

One of our most trusted friends. We will miss you deeply till we meet again

Nancy & Richard Locke

The angel dog has gotten her wings.

Claudia & Ernie

Dear Cocoa,

Thank you for loving me. For forgiving me when I was too busy or thoughtless. For teaching me to be a better and more responsible friend to all animals. Thank you for all that you gave me. You taught me to love unconditionally. I will never forget you and I will never stop loving you. You were the joy in my life. When the days and nights were long and dark, you were my reason for going on with life. Until we're together again, I'll hold you deep within my heart. I thank God for the ten short years we were together here on earth. Ten times that long would not have been long enough. He lent you to me for a while, now I give you back. You fought a brave battle, but now you are in a better place. No harm, or pain, or cruelty can touch you now. Nothing but love and joy for you. Until we're together again, I'll shed tears of love and longing for you. Save your kisses for me until I come home to you.

Love always, your Connie

To the most beautiful, most loveable and loved, sweet kitty who every lived.
We will always remember you. Love, Mom and Cas

My Popi, I miss you so much. It was so hard to let you go, but we all knew you were suffering, poor baby. I hope you liked your last sniffing trip at the high school. I cherished hand feeding you the mexican chicken the night before. You were always so gentle eating from my hand. The night before, I sat up till 4am to be with you. I just watched you and prayed you would sleep peacefully. Thank you my Cocoa for coming to me while I was looking through pictures. I was suffering deeply, then I heard your clickety clicking and my heart perked up. I put you on the bed and you curled up in a little ball just like you used to do when you slept on my bed. I had peace spending quiet time with you. Your eyes were so sweet and gentle like always. I also got strength knowing I will be with you again. The night we let you go, we were all very sad missing you especially when we were eating pizza and you weren't there to feed pepperoni. It is sad not hearing your tags clinking or seeing your cute, sweet face peeping over your bed. The house is cold and empty without you. You were the sweetest, cutest dog. Everybody loved you and thought you were "so cute." You were the best "sister". Remember walking with me and mom on our summer evening walks and lying near me while I was tanning? Thank you for being the best little girl dog ever. I know you are happy and comfortable now. Our little girl dog is at peace.

You will never be forgotten. As you wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge, please know that my love for you has not faded after all these years. You were the very best friend I could have ever had and you never left my side, especially when I was sick. I have always regretted that I was not with you when you passed as you would have been there for me. I miss and love you so much. Please be ready to welcome my other furbaby, Duke, as he is preparing for the journey to The Bridge. Please stay with him as you both wait for me. He his very shy and scared. Thank you, my little brown sweetpea.........I LOVE YOU!!

Lisa

Thank you for being a special cat and a part of our family for the past 6 years. You're in our hearts and we will love and miss you forever...

Daddy

Cocoa was a brown tabby Persian. A cattery cat that I acquired for my breeding program and my cattery. She was tragically killed during an accident when I was moving. The mover tripped and fell full force, all 200 pounds of him, into the cage where I had put her for safekeeping. The force of impact caused the door to fly open and throw her across the room, against the wall. She died 3 days later. I was devastated by her untimely death. This unfortunate incident has been revived in my memory, by the recent death of my first cattery cat, 'Casey'. More fully, Lady Sunset Casey of Thia. As a musician, I devoted a song to Cocoa, which I have sung for years. This song is called 'I remember April.' The last verse contains these beautiful words: "The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes. For flames and love last such a little while. I won't forget, but I won't be lonely. I'll remember April, and I'll smile." I still have not reached that point, eleven years later, but maybe one day I will.

Cynthia

Your forever in my heart Cocoa Puff. Mommy and Shelby miss you dearly!! You'll never be forgotten...

Stepahnie Hankin

Cocoa,
Our hearts are broken. We miss you so much, sweet baby. It's been almost two days and we long to kiss your sweet ears and smell your little head. We love you, baby and will never, ever, forget you. Please know that we will meet again some day. Wait for us, sweetheart. We love you so much and you don't know how much we are hurting.  
Rest softly, sweet boy...there will be no more pain. We love you.  
XOXO -US

Cocoa, my baby, my precious- Now in God's arms, purring. I had my day in the sun being loved by Cocoa. I loved him too. He liked me share my morning bacon with him. During Summer he would lick the rim of my glass of lemonade. He loved to get up on my shoulder and perch. He gave me kitty kisses. He slept with me everynight, his head on the pillow and the blankets up to his ears.  
When he developed cancer I had him put to sleep in my arms. My heart was ripped out when his stopped. Its been twelve years since his passing and I still grieve for my Cocoa as if it were yesterday. I still cry. I still hurt. We had a special bond destined to last forever and never to be repeated. I saw him in two dreams. I could feel his warmth in my arms and his fur under my chin. Those were beautiful dreams. I like to think that he visited me in spirit to let me know that he was okay in paradise. I hope that he will greet me when I reach paradise.  
I pray to you, oh Lord, to let Cocoa hear me when I whisper that I love him still and always will as long as my soul continues.

Elizabeth

Coco was my best friend, my heart, my life and the king of my castle I miss him so much and sometimes I think I can not go on with out my fuzzy bubby. I appreciate being able to post this somewhere so people will know there was a dog named Coco and he was my life.

Deborah Martin

Codey my soul mate my friend till the end. How tragic that your end must come before mine. I will never forget your love and devotion these many years. Your soft ears and big soulful eyes always able to beg your way into everyone's hearts. I did my best to care for you my baby boy. But the time has come to let you go. Your life is not what is should be and while it hurts I know it is what is best for all of us.  
Sleep in peace my baby. Find Jessie and Grandpa on the other side and wait for me. I love you with all my heart!

Mom

my heart is broken but you are free  
no longer caught in pain  
but please protector take care of him and keep him happy  
till I am ready to come

For 13 years you were my best friend always faithful always proud and always there for me.  
Now I must try to get on with life without you by my side  
but there is a pain in my heart that will never be healed

I cant look out to the lawn without expecting to see you  
or walk on the beach without expecting to see you jumping in and out of waves

Lord grant him rest and ease the pain of my family  
But never let me forget him and all those times

Andy

Cody was our newest family member, joining 4 other IGs, 1 Shih Tzu, 1 Dog, 1 DSH feline and my husband and myself. He was only with us 4 short months, but in that time he brought such joy and light to all of our lives. He is sorely missed. We'll see you at The Bridge, Cody Co.

Sandy Portella

In Memory of the Best Dog Ever,
"Cody."

I was thinking
of you today,
when I realized
that I hadn't told you how
wonderful it was
to have had you for my best friend.

More often.
I thought about how special you were,
how much joy
your playfulness
added to my life...

I may have criticized
you at times,
but I loved you just the way you were ... and I was very proud
to have you as my best friend.

I miss you "Cody" very much.

Forever in my heart,
Mommie

My protector- take care of your sister Kitten when she gets there. Mom

To Our Beloved Dog Prince Cody:

Your love, security, and hugs have made and changed my life for the better. Thank you forever. Cody, You will never be forgotten. Bill

Cody, Your sudden and unexpected death has been so very difficult for me to accept. However, I know you are in a good place now and you will always have a huge place in my heart. I miss those big blue eyes, understanding and caring looks, and hugs that were always so welcome. We will see you again some day. Love Always, Elaine

Cody was my best friend and my sweetest girl. She was brilliant, with a heart as valiant as any that has ever lived and a twinkle in those warm, chocolate eyes that still makes me weep for missing her. She knew how to tiptoe and she knew how to love me. I will miss her until we meet again at the bridge. She will always be my Coco bunny.

Laura

To My Dear Baby Cody,
Mommy misses you so much, you left so soon. And I know that one day, we will be together again. Your sister, Kimie misses you and the way you two used to play, Maxx still looks out from the window to see you, wondering when you're going to run through the door and play with him again. You have a baby brother named, Troy now. I think you would've loved to be here with him too. He reminds me of you, but he could never replace you, baby. I miss you, my little girl. Play with your friends, and have fun, I know you're safe, I love you. Mommy will be with you one day, I promise.

Cody was my best friend- my soul mate.  
I love him with all my heart and grieve each day for my loss. He was so Special.

Cleta

I wrote this original poem for Cody Redford as he neared the rainbow bridge...and crossed over to greener patures.

Promises, Promises

Into your hands I was placed,
So many years ago,
To nurture, guide, and love.
Until that time when God calls down, "It's time to let him go."

And, as when our journey first began,
You look upon your steed,
And remind yourself of the promise,
I know is hard to keep.

Your promise that for all my days,
You'll see that I am cared for.
I'll never want in any way,
For that is what you're there for.

These last few months have been so hard,
And I've tried to fight the pain.
But that fight must now be over,
For I have naught to gain.

I no longer can enjoy life,
Every day's a painful chore.
My teeth are bad, my legs are sore,
And, oh, to run once more!

And so, my friend, I ask you,
For the promise you have made.
Return to me the favor,
Of the years, to you, I gave.

It's time for you to give me,
To another pair of hands.
Just see that it's done gently,
As I pass from land to land.

And to you I make a promise,
One not as hard to keep,
If you'll search your heart, you'll find me,
Keeping memories, dear and sweet.

Kristi A. Tackett

Cody, you taught me so much, and forever reshaped my heart. Waiting to meet you on the other side. Love always, Kristi.

Coffee was a very special dog. She was 16 years old when we had to help her to the Bridge. Our daughter was her girl, she would use Coffee as a pillow while watching TV, and when she cried Coffee would come running to me to say MOM my girl is crying go get her. Coffee would do the same for our son except the he didn't get a chance to use Coffee as a TV pillow he is just starting to get close to the animals, he would give Coffee kisses and pet her but he never got the chance to get close to her. It has been just under a week since Coffee crossed over and we all miss her so much. I know we will meet again, but it will be a very long wait.

Lorrie, John and Kids

My friend, Diane, just lost a very important part of her life, his name was Cognac, he was an apricot poodle with an attitude plus he was a male who knew how to rule the roost, this is most devastating to my friend as just 7 months ago she lost her partner of thirty years her husband jerry, and cognac was their baby, because she doesn't have the opportunity to get this wonderful program I am paying this tribute to her wonderful special friend, as we know how she feels, please pray for her that our wonderful GOD heals her broken heart......Cathi

17 years ago when I adopted you, a friend gave me a copy of "The Dogs Prayer". It spoke of the bond between a man and his best friend. And with the last passage that spoke of when the Great Master calls, I promised I would not let you suffer when your time came. The decision was easy, to ease you of the pain, to let you cross the rainbow bridge. I held your head in my hands as we stared into each others eyes. Mine were the last eyes you saw, mine was the last voice you heard, telling you to rest, to wait for me on the other side of the rainbow bridge. But I never imagined the pain our family would feel in releasing you from yours. From when you were 6 weeks old, you were at my side and remained there for 17 years. You were there before I had my wife, there before I had my children and there after we all became a family. You became the guardian for my little girl sleeping under her crib 7 years ago. You pulled my young son in his wagon even as age started to catch up with you. But your tail never stopped wagging, your loyalty never waned. When your hips tired I would carry you. When you lost your hearing, we became your ears.. And even on your last day you struggled to be at my side. And when you couldn't get there, I came to your side. Where I belonged. We sat quietly and made our plans to meet again..... on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Cognac my friend...You passed on my birthday for a reason. Every year for the rest of my life, on August 11, I will raise a glass of Cognac to renew the bond between us.

You buddy, were the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Your spirit is in our hearts, and our hearts will always be with you. Rest in peace my faithful friend.

Phil Rizzardi

"Cogzie" taught me about life, death, and courage.  
We were together when she was born, and we were together when she died. What a precious gift she gave to me!

I couldn't have made it threw the toughest times in my life if it wasn't for her! Thank you "Cogzie!" I will always have a special place in my heart for you! I will NEVER forget your strength, love, and compassion!

You are my one and only "Cogzie."

KEA

Cojack, Mommie sure misses you & Dad & Brother. You were big hearted, strong, smart. loving well we cant say enough about you we miss you so much & love you so it is so hard our dog of a lifetime Mike, Teri & Brent

To Colby, My Angel,

May you find peace in your next life. Know that I am always with you, though I am painfully mourning your loss, I'll be OK. I loved you so much and know that you loved me right back. Ours was a very special bond that only you and I knew about. I'll be with you again someday, Junior.....behave in the meantime! I hope there's lots of turkey and milk and cheese and chicken up there for you.  
I love you Colby. Love, Mommy

You gave so much love, and you are very much loved.

Mary McDonald

My Colby, I know you are with me in spirit everyday of my life I look forward to joining you on the bridge. Always in my heart, Mom

Debbie Lacoste

Coletrane, you brought so much joy to our hearts. We will miss you much, and your memory will always be with us. We love you. May you find Cho-Cho and be a family.  
Rest In Peace

Ray, Linda, Kim, Pam, Deanne, Sam, Bell

The depth of my pain, sorrow and loss is a testament and tribute to his depth of unconditional love, loyalty and friendship these many years. To say I miss him and will miss him does not begin to express the depths these inadequate words can convey.

I love you Colonel.

Carito

Therapy Dog Excellent - You were my once in a lifetime dog, my miracle, the wind beneath my wings. You did it all and were truly versatile. You made so many friends and helped so many people. You will be much missed. You taught me so much and changed my life forever. You were truly the pick of the litter, my little love. Rest in peace.

Elaine and David Kahn

Comet..we will miss your lazy ways, your insistent whining, and how you liked to lay on our heads while we sleep. You are a good friend and were always there to talk to for only the small price of rubbing your fat belly. You are deeply missed and deeply loved. May the journey be short, and all of your days sunny...Godspeed Comet

Meloe & Billy

Data was my best friend. He was my back up alarm clock when I needed one. He was my comforter when I needed one. He was a clown and a philosopher. He loved me unconditionally and when it came to the final test, I failed him. I did not stay with him till the end. For that, I can only say "I'm sorry". I will always regret not holding him until he was gone. "Data, I'm sorry, I love you, Sweetheart."

Terri

Conan blessed us with his loving nature. He was always there with a purr or a meow. He was guardian of the shower and keeper of the peace. He will be greatly missed. We love you angel.

Mom, Dad, Oliver, Jasmine and Beau

To my friend, my partner, my protector. I want to say thank you. Thank you for enriching my life in ways that I cannot explain. With all the wrongs in this world, I always looked forward to coming home and having you waiting at the window for me.

Then you became my partner, a police work dog. I always will consider this time the high-light of my career. You made me so proud day after day, and filled my life in so many ways. I thought it was difficult when you retired but I still was able to be with you at the end of the day.

I sorry that nothing else could help you, god only knows I tried. I hope your life was a good one and I hope I didn't disappoint you.
I love you so very much, you will always be a part of me.

You will always be, daddies little-man.

G. Riendeau

Dear Conan,

It has been several weeks and I miss you so very much. Everywhere I turn I think of you. While you have given me so many great memories, I am still very sad that you are no longer with me.

I truely hope and pray that there is a bridge we will meet at one day. I do look forward to being with you again. I am so sorry that I had to make the deceision I made, but you were in pain, and I couldn't see you suffer any more.

You will always be in my heart, and will remain, "Daddie's Little Man".

I love you.......

My Buddy Conan;

How I still look for you to greet me at the door when I come home. Everything I do still reminds me of you. I miss you so very much. You truely were a god-sent to me. I love you and miss you very much, and you will always be, "Daddie's Little Man".

Conner died very suddenly yesterday, hit by a car, he never ran into the street and he was like a child to me, I have never experienced such loss. all I can do is sit around and moan in pain and I am all alone.

Jeff Pearson

Conrad was a gift from God after the death of my mother. He was my only family for over 11 years, and I find myself alone in the world again. But I was blessed that he lived an amazing 15 months after being diagnosed with cancer, so we had the chance to pack a lot more living in those months. He is not alone, though, as he joins his many friends who have gone before him, I know they will take care of him. Kate, Gidget, Katie, Lenny, Czar, Waldo, Berkey, Brandy, Moe, Scooter - take care of Conrad - as he took care of me.

Tracy

My best friend and soul mate for 16 years.

Kellus Stone

In the highest loving memory of Contessa Isabella...  
You will always be with me Tess, in my heart and soul and "I'll stay with you forever". Thank you for giving me the most special and unforgettable memories in my lifetime. I'll never stop missing you.  
I hope you are free of all of the pains in this world and are in the most wonderful peaceful beautiful place. Your spirit and strength has inspired me to live and love on. Bless you Tess, you are the best...  
I love you Darlin' Do. We'll stay together.

Mike & Teri & Brent & Jill

Never forgotten, sweet Cookie.

Mary

Cookie, you passed on very suddenly yesterday, and my heart aches. How I wished I could have held you in my arms before you went to the Rainbow Bridge. I hope that you have found your big brother, Sarge.

John

Cookie, we had you for a mere four months before you were struck with kidney failure, but you will never be forgotten. You can into our lives shortly after Cocoa passed and we will never regret having you. You will be sorely and sadly missed, but we will rest knowing that you are no longer in pain and that your candle will burn eternally in cyberspace..

Have fun playing with Cocoa. We'll see you again at the Bridge...

Daddy, Mommy, Taylor, Summer, & Asha

Cookie lived and died with grace. Wait for us, Cookie. Find Sparky and Choo-Choo, and tell them we love you all.

Ray & Carolyn Espinoza

Cookie Was a loving and wonderful dog. She took care of me when I needed her most, and now she will pass on to God's care. She will now be with her sister Mattie who passed on last year of cancer. The two will take care of one another now. Cookie we will miss you tremendously and we love you very much.

Keith and Jackie Berry

You will be in our hearts forever, sweet girl. We love you and miss you.

Gary, Donna, Jeremy, Holly

We brought home Cookie, a beautiful small white bunny with black around her eyes and on her ears, to be a friend to our lop rabbit Snickerdoodle. Even though she was just a baby, Cookie immediately showed her true colors. She was brave, curious, smart and completely bossed around Snickerdoodle. She loved to eat and would often badger Snickerdoodle until he gave her his portion of the veggies or pellets.

Cookie died today, unexpectedly, perhaps from a blockage. I had her in a blanket and held her close to me on the couch as she died and I hope she didn't suffer. She was only 3 1/2 years old but we were grateful to have her that long. While she wasn't terribly affectionate to us humans she adored Snickerdoodle and would follow him around and groom his ears every day. She did love it when we petted her head though and she'd scrunch down into the floor and could sit there endlessly being admired by us. She had the absolute softest fur although she often had an orange chin/dewlap from eating carrots.

We love you Cookie bunny! We'll miss you so much and we wish you could have stayed with us much longer. I hope there are plenty of carrots and oats at the Rainbow Bridge for you.

Nanette Blanchard

Dear Serena we will miss your sweet, gentle nature and persistent curiosity. But, most of all we'll miss your unconditional love. Until we meet once again at the Rainbow Bridge, may your days be filled with wondrous adventures ...and your nights with catnip and warm hugs.

Jill & David Burrow

In loving memory of our soulmate

Steve & Mary

Cooter, You were the best friend anyone would wish for we miss you terribly. Hope you are okay without us, we are having an awful time without you. Hope to meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Donna & Stephen Giggey

Copper possessed beauty without awareness,  
love without demands,  
joy with every breath,  
loyalty beyond belief,  
and the most beautiful eyes softly closing for the last time  
freeing him from the pain of his broken back, broken leg, and lungs,  
so that he can run in the pastures of heaven.  
He will be painfully missed, but never, never forgotten

Terry Griffin

Our sweet baby daughter, Cordelia, died yesterday morning. It still doesn't seem real or right that she is not here with us. She was a beautiful white dwarf with long whiskers, perfect ears, and blue eyes. Everyone commented on how adorable she was. She gave wonderful kisses and kept us entertained with her royal personality. She will never be forgotten, and I pray that one day, I will get to see and hold her again (maybe even play hide and seek...) Cordy-you are so deeply loved and missed. Thank you for gracing our lives for almost 5 wonderful years. You are gone too soon. I'm sorry for every day I took you for granted and most of all, my mistakes, which I hope you, in your new wisdom, understand. You deserve the best - sunny fields to run in, other bunnies to play with, delicious things to eat, love, joy, and peace. You gave me more than I ever gave you, and there will never be another bunny who takes your place. My memories of you are precious. I love you so much. Mommy D.

Corky has been my dear friend and companion for eight years.
I will miss him more than I can say. He was my best friend, my shoulder to cry on, and more. Sometimes it was just the fact that he was happy to see me when I got home from work that made the whole day worthwhile. I don't know what I'll do without him, but I know that he's happy and healthy again.
I pray the Bast will watch over him as he leaves this life and goes on to the next.
I love you, Corky

Linda Taggart

To a special friend: Corky, our baby, we miss your company, your screams, and sweet snuggles. We raised you as a baby, you were our baby. "corky doodle doo" "little food dunker" "Corky Cornelius, she is a bird" " time to go night, night"(Corky:hiss, hiss).little bird, you will always be with us. We loved you so very, very much, we still love you. Our hearts drop when your not home, but we know you have gone to a better place and are sitting on the shoulders of your creator. Corky, you will be in our hearts forever and ever. Rest in peace little bird, mamma and pappa will always remember you.

George and Tracy

Cory was the best cat that ever lived. Sweet, affectionate, considerate, he would rest his paws on your shoulder when you were hurting, come and lay by your side when you were sick, and never jumped on a forbidden table or overturned a plant in his life. My best friend, he will never be forgotten.

Liimu Simms

(This is what I wrote a few hours before Cosmo was put to rest.)

Soon you will be gone from us and my heart is breaking. You just can't know right now how much I love you and how much you have meant to me. You have been with me through some awfully bad times and you never once judged me or loved me less for anything. Your love is as perfect as it gets here on earth. It's totally unconditional.

You have given us so much love and laughter and for that I thank you and God. He put you on earth just to love us and be our friend -- and you have done that.

Now your task is done. You have given everything. Mommy knows your poor heart hurts and you feel so bad. I won't let you hurt anymore. It won't be long now before you will be at ease. You will have squirrels and rabbits to chase and other dogs to play with and fish to catch. You will be able to run and play to your heart's content; there aren't any fences; and the fields are free and wide open for you to see everything that is there. And you won't hurt. And you won't be tired any more. You will be a joy to God and the angels just as you have been to me. For I fully believe that you'll be in Heaven with God; you are one of His creations and He brings all of them home to Him.

If I ever get to Heaven, I know that you'll be waiting there for me. Ready to come leaping into my arms and kiss me. Mommy loves you, my "little man," and I'll be waiting to see you again. Rest easy, puppy.

Sherry J. Charlton

To a sweet loving friend who gave me great joy and happiness, I will forever have you in may heart.

Paulette Ripps

This beautiful blonde little imp was my friend, lover, playmate and friend. He could always make me smile, and was more of a gentleman than any human I have ever know. He was a big dog in a small dog's body. His heart was solid gold. I love you Coty, and see you in every rose that blooms.

.. . . . . Charlene

You went to the Rainbow Bridge a year and a half ago, and I still miss you so very much. You gave me fifteen years of unconditional love and companionship. You were my common denominator through those years, and with life's ups and downs you were always ready to offer a purr to cheer me up. I was blessed to have had you in my life; I love you and miss you still.

Debi Ross

Courtenay,

We know that you are very happy in NipHeaven. We love you very much and look forward to being with you again.  
You gave us everything you had. You were strong. You had a great temper. You had the last bite.  
You always had things your way. We miss you.

Mommy and Daddy and Sageleh

A great dog and wonderful friend!

Brad & Rosie Bowker

Cancer, Oh my God, how can this be?
       They said 6 months you'd be with me.
One month, two months, three months, four,
       how were we to know we'd have no more?
Undying love and loyalty you gave to me..
       How can I let you go? How can this be?
Remembering all the great times we've had.
       And now to see you hurt so bad.
Tell me when it's time to go.
       As long as you know I love you so.
Never enough time, this I will always regret...
       Wasn't prepared to let you go just yet.
Everyone says, time will ease the pain.
       That someday we'll be together again.
Your eyes said it all to me today.
       You had enough and were ready to go your way.
So I'll give you your freedom to go to a better place.
       I'll meet you there with the biggest smile on my face.


Holding on to the memories we share.
       They will help me carry the grief I bear.
Every step I take, I'll be thinking of you.
       Every breath I take will be for you too.
I envy you your restful sleep.
       For I am left behind to weep.
Doing this was the last thing I could do for you,
       But was I sure you wanted me to?
I'll long to be with you. I'll miss you so much.
       I'll miss those wet kisses, your soft furry touch.


Be free of this body that racks you with pain.
       You are now free and happy and healthy again.
Enter now the gates of the Rainbow Bridge and wait for me.
       I'll come to be with you. Just wait and see.
A needle now takes you away from me.
       As I scream you name in agony.
Rest in peace my sweet Heidi girl,
       We'll be together again in a better world.


I Love You!!
Vivian

You literally walked into my life one day. You were my dream dog... a dog that I fantasized about since childhood. You were my first GSD, and a perfect example of what the breed was all about. Your devotion to me was continuous. The bond that we shared was like no other that I had ever experienced. After a trial, a judge once commented to everyone about what a "true love affair" you and I had. You were always there to lick away my tears and stand strongly for me to hang on to. Oh, how I need you now to lick away my tears, and to hold me up now as I try to endure your loss. Everyone that ever met you or knew you loved you dearly. You had charisma. Now, everyone misses you dearly and I for one cannot wait to have you at my side again someday. When I leave this world, I shall whistle and wait for you to come bounding to me as you once did here on Earth. Then, my pain will be gone as yours is now. I love you, my beloved Cowboy.

Cassandra Posladek

He was a wonderful dog and my very best friend. He was with me from the time he was 6 months old and I could not have imagined how hard it was to lose him and how much I miss him.

Joanne Wilds

My last gift to Coyote...this tribute to the kind and loving nature she showed me for over 14 years of my life.  
Her devotion and love will never be forgotten!  
I will remember you and love you eternally Coyote!

Thomas

I received C.P. for a Christmas gift when I was three years old. I was told to name him after something I really loved, so I did, which accounts for the odd name. I loved and cherished him all my life; there isn't one day that I don't remember him not being there. We were never really sure what caused his death, but he had a heart murmur and we think he had spinal cancer as well. We love and miss you very much C.P., I wish I could have been better to you. I'll never forget you.

Amber Christensen

Cajun will miss your romps on the floor in the plastic balls. he will have to tease the dogs and cat alone, but no one will do as good a job as you. We will miss you but will see you again someday. Stay away from the cats at Rainbow Bridge and don't become a "Meals-on-Wheels". We love you.

Sara

Crash, wherever you are, I wish you all of the birds you could ever wish to catch, all of your favorite foods any time you get hungry, and a warm sunny spot on a bed of your very own to sleep in when you get tired. I love you.

R Jasky

You were the light of my life. Always there and always understanding. I will always remember your "scooby doo" looks and the way you would talk back to me when I would chew you out for not listening. I will never forget the year when my dad died and you were there right by my side, putting your head in my lap and looking at me with your soulful eyes. You always had to be the first to go out the door for your walk, always the first to walk ahead of us and always the first inside the house. How I will miss you my baby girl...

DeeAnn Rogers

I said goodbye to my best friend Crazy today. He was wonderful kitty. Loving. Attentive. Very special. I was hoping for more time after a recent cancer diagnosis, but we agreed he'd tell me when it was time and a sudden case of hiding, hissing and yowling told me today was the day. So he's at peace. No more pain. And I have to deal with the incredible sense of loss. Just when I think I've got a handle on it, I break out into uncontrollable tears. If this is what grief is all about, I want no more of it. And in time it will pass. And be replaced with all the loving memories of the best kitty I've ever had the honor and real pleasure of spending my life with.
I'll always love you Crazy.

Bob

Cressie, my beautiful, lovely lady. No sweeter dog ever existed. You have given so much and asked for nothing in return. Sixteen years and five months of loving and being loved by you have gone so swiftly. Thank you God, for allowing me to borrow your special angel. Now she is back with you again. A piece of my heart has gone with you. Til we meet at the Bridge. In loving memory, Trella

Cricket was my bestfriend she made me happy and she always protected me from harm. She was like a little doll and she was so cute. I will miss her because she was like an angel under my bed guarding me. We shared many special moments that I will treasure forever I love you Cricket. Jesus she's a good pup.

Andrea S.

Cricket, there is so much I could say about her, but it would take to much space. So all I will say is, the love she gave me was like no other on earth. Always close by when I needed a friend. Always accepting me for the way I was, not expecting more. I know she is patiently waiting for me at rainbow bridge as she waited for me to return home many times. we always hated being away from each other, but when we finally join each other at rainbow bridge we will both rejoice in the knowledge that we will never be apart again. I can hardly wait to see her and pet her, be patient Cricky, mommy will be there as soon as she can.

Debbie Harrison

I lost my best friend on Monday and my heart is breaking.. oh for one more time to hold her, pet her and hold her close. I pray that as I held her for her to be released of pain that she heard my voice and knew me, I pray that she understood she was going to be fine because she was with me.....how terribly hard it is to hold a life in your hands and let it go......I pray the tears will soon stop and the happy memories will begin....I love you Cricket

Sally

Little One

You brought a smile when I was sad  
you made me laugh when I was glad,  
little bird so small and tame  
will be a friend when no one came.

Your silly ways and playful days  
remind me of the joys you brought,  
so fly and sore throughout the sky  
your in my heart as time goes by.

Sadly missed by your friend:

Janet

To my baby, Cricket, I'll love you always and forever!!

Mindi

This is the first day of the rest of my life without my beautiful cat Crickett. She was my whole world. It is so very quiet in the house, I find myself listening for her. She would always greet me at the door. She was very heavy into her routine, I made sure to follow it. She loved to go outside, when I would pick up her leash and harness she would jump up on the table waiting for it to be put on, and outside we would go. My heart is broken. Crickett was 16 years old. We knew each other so well. I see her everywhere, she was a very special little spirit. The day after she died the clouds came and have stayed for 4 days.  
I love you Crickett  
You will always be Mama's Little Girl!!!

To our big beautiful boy Crisco - Oh how we miss those big beautiful eyes that could instantly melt our hearts. We know you are in a painless & happy place now. The house feels empty now without you - your sister Nermal & adopted sister, Ginger (a Scottish Terrier) are with us but there is still a void. Nermal has taken on some of your traits & Ginger misses running around you like she would do during her "stupid Scottish dance". For over 14 years you stole our hearts and always know that Mommy & Daddy will always be with you.

Jackie & John Schierer

My little sweet baby bun bun; I miss you. You have been with me for so long. You were getting fragile and weary . . . I don't even think you could see well anymore. I will remember you always, the way daddy and I spent soo much time playing with you on the floor and on my bed. You were a wonderful pet bun bun and I never thought you would go.

Donna Rega

May Cros chase squirrels in heaven forever.

Kirby Richards

Crouton, in the short time I had you, you gave me more joy and Love than you could ever know..........It helps me to know that I have a Special Angel waiting just for me........I am so blessed to have had you in my life.........I still sing You are my Sunshine to you everyday because I know you can hear me.....Max also misses you laying on his feet and the touch of your soft toasted Crouton looking nose on his face
Rest in Peace My Angel for someday we will meet again. >^..^<
All Our Love
Mommy and Daddy
(Max and Kim)

Cruiser, my pet. You have left us with such a void in our hearts. So suddenly you left us last summer. You are always in our thoughts and hearts. Brat has come to join you. I hope you two have found each other. He grieved too, when you left. Now he is gone. He left us suddenly too. We miss you and love you...always and forever.
Keep Brat close....someday we will be together again.

Sharon Milton

She was special to everyone she met. She had friends all over town. We love her.

The MacDonalds

When you appeared on our patio after the loss of our beloved dog, I told you to go away. NO CATS! I especially wasn't in the mood for a pregnant cat, out roaming the streets wearing half a coat. But with a little lovin' you became so beautiful, with your impeccably white fur and crystal-blue eyes. . .
And how could you ALWAYS sense when we needed any kind of comfort? I'll never forget how you insisted on standing on my bashed-in sternum and dislocated ribs after that car wreck. You just had to do something to make me feel better. And, in your own unique way, you did. We loved you so, and we're so thankful God sent you to us. Thank you, too, for Jasper, our beloved orange tabby. I'm teaching him dog commands. From you, I learned there's always hope.

Connie Fox

When my then 23 year old cat had a heart attack in August of 1998, I asked her vet "How will I know when it's time?" He is a dear man and took a great deal of time to speak with me, but essentially his answer was that I would just "know". I did not understand, but over the last few weeks I have come to understand. My dear, old friend of 24 years is suffering. No matter how much pain I feel, I must end that suffering for her. I am fortunate to have such a dear vet, as he will come into my home to do her this last kindness. Today, perhaps tomorrow... I will miss my dear friend, who came in my life when I was a child of eleven, but I cannot let her continue. I thank the hosts of this page for the Rainbow Bridge writings. I had hoped that could be a kitten again, so full of life and love..and mischief. When we meet in the next world I only hope I have something precious of mine that she can destroy, and this time I will only smile. JN

My baby and my friend for 13 1/2 years. I miss her so

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

God Bless You Princess.

Mommy & Vira Mandell

My special Cuda. Mommy misses you so much. It has only been two days and it is so hard. Your blankie is still next to mommies bed, your dish still has your food and bones in it that Nick gave to you and I will always remember our special nights together when it was late and I'd give you your bones and you would bring them in one at a time and then settle down to eat them. Remember when you got all silly the other night and was wagging your tail with your butt up in the air and rubbing your nose along the couch and then Nick's hand, but he was sleeping so he couldn't pet you. Oh, Baby, we all miss you so much, and can't understand why you had to leave. Nick wrapped up a present for you with a card he wrote himself. He wanted you to feel better. Well, my Cuds, I think you feel better now where you are. You are with Shelby now. I know how much you missed her all these years. You are together now. And I shall miss you now. I will never forget you. I will look at your pictures and sometimes laugh, and sometimes cry. You are very special and I will always remember my boy Cuda!!!!

Cuddles was the light of my Mom's life, as well as mine. I brought Cuddles home when he was only 5 weeks old, asking my Mom "please, can I just keep him for the weekend".
Sixteen years later, we had to let him go to heaven. He was very sick. Kidney failure. The kittenish in him was no longer there, he just stared into emptiness. He knew it was time to say Goodbye. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I made the final decision, my Mom was too distraught to even think of saying bye. We love you Cuddles and always will. Love Mom and Karen

Cuddles, you were my best friend. I think about you daily, and miss your wuffy kisses. Thank you for getting me through all the tough times (especially nursing school!) I love you. See you on the other side.

Cuddles came into my life as the runt of the litter.  
No-one wanted her so I gave her a home with me. Over the years she filled my life with love. She was sometimes the ear that got bent, but never got angry with me.

She lost her eye sight and then her hearing but she never stopped purring, everytime I touched her head or rubbed her belly.

She hung on right to the end, and I held her close to me when she closed her eyes for the last time..  
Little critters know when it's time to go she lived a very good life and I had to let her go. I miss her, but the love we had for each other will never go away. A candle with always burn in my heart for the best friend I had in the world. She's at peace with Trevor whom fell into rest 4 years ago at the age of 15. They sleep together tonight and always........real friends are never forgotten......

It has been three days since you crossed over the Rainbow Cuddles. I remember the sunny afternoon when I saw you in a litter of wrinkley puppies, I picked you up and instantly you cuddled up to me. I had to have you, and we named you "Cuddles".  
You gave us five happy years and you will forever be a part of us. We have no children, but you were are little girl. You were so gentle and never a mean bone in your body, just always willing to give a cuddle or lick or waiting for a belly rub. You loved ice cream and sweet tartes. You loved sitting outside under the tree. There can never be another "Cuddles". You were taken away suddenly from us due to a heart attack, in a few short hours you crossed over, but mama was with you and we will someday meet you again and until the day you greet us once again we will hold you close in our hearts and remember the sweet, kind, gentle dog you are. Right now your in a place of sunshine and goodies and lots of new friends. God makes no mistakes.. for he takes only the best. Cuddles.. you were the best so God needed you. Your an Angel now, watching over all of us. You left paw prints on our hearts forever!  
We love you and miss you very much, and so does your little buddy "Taco".  
We'll see you soon we love you.  
Love...  
Mama & Pappy  
and Taco too.

You will be missed so much. You were the best friend a lonely girl could ever have. You were always there for me. I am so sorry I couldn't be there when you left us. I am so sorry I left you. I will miss you so bad. I hope you knew how much I love you. You meant everything to me. I tried to make you well. I wish it would've worked. Now you rest in the backyard, all alone. I'm so sorry. I love you. You always will hold a place in my heart and in my memory. Please forgive me. I miss you so much.

You owner and friend,
Jennifer

Thank you Cuddles for always being there for me.. You were the only thing that saved my sanity through a very traumatic divorce...  
You had already lost your sight in one eye, due to a cataract, and were slowly losing your sight in the other eye, but, never, for one moment looked away from me.. always staying close and keeping me safe...You were my first baby... and the love I have for you will never end.  
Your sister, Katie, is still looking for you, even after all this time... she was there when you were hit...and I thank you for sending her back to me, to tell me that something had happened.  
Thank you my dear, sweet Cuddles...I love you!!!!!!!!!

Gracie

Thanks Cuds to have touched our hearts and our lives are more complete because of you. We miss you so, we will love you forever.

Twenty one years ago a ray of sunshine came into our lives, and her name was Cuddles. Cuddles spent the next 21 years giving us such happiness and joy. But then one day God said he must take our sunshine away. And on April 29th, she left us to be by his side leaving such an empty void in our house and our lives. Cuddles was so full of life.....she could run through the house with such wild energy, then abruptly stop and begin to take a bath. It all seemed quite the normal thing to do. The evenings were our time as we would spend quality time snuggled up together. I miss the calming effect of her gentle purr's that would lull me to sleep, but then when 5 a.m. rolled around all hell would break loose as it was "feeding time". My, how she lived for her "feeding time". The house is quiet now and the hurting is insurmountable, but the memories are plentiful and help ease the pain when we reflect back on her life with us. Thank you dear Cuddles for giving us so much. We'll never forget you. Our love is unending. Mom and papa.

For the fourteen years Cujo was with us, he brought such happiness, such love and joy into our lives. He never loved us any less if we had a bad hair day, if we yelled at him, if we did not have time to pet him goodbye before leaving for work. At four o'clock, he was always waiting at the back door for us. There is a very large hole in our hearts, that will remain for some time to come. He will be so missed as he was an irreplaceable treasure.

Katlin Vickers

Cujo was a great big Golden Retriever, with a great big heart. Although he's been gone for several years now, when I found this website, I wanted to add his name to your list. You see, we still think about him, even though we have other dogs now. Cujo was just the best dog ever. We will always miss him.

Rick and Vickie Prince

To my little cuppycakes...  
I miss you very much. I can't believe you left us yesterday.  
I know you are with Muffin now so I hope you guys are having fun together!!  
I know you'll be around whenever I change the sheets on the bed since you loved to jump around on them!  
We've saved your little "baby" for you.  
Love always, Tara

Cupcake,
You were our four-pound family member who just happened to have four legs and a tail. Since you left this world on Mar. 18, we ache to hear your cries of joy greeting us at the door every night, to see your sparkling eyes, and to watch that little bounce in your walk, and experience that "attitude," of yours, and oh, those kisses, we miss them so much...

The pain of your loss is as enormous as the amount of love and joy we shared with you. Your presence in our home brought us so much laughter and joy and you demonstrated the meaning of unconditional love. Everyone, yes "everyone," who met you fell in love with you.

You are truly missed, and you will live in our hearts forever.

My beloved little budgie Cupid passed on on Monday.
I loved Cupid so much. She was small and was white with gray spots. I named her Cupid because she was so loving and was my little baby. I'm soooooo sad!!!!! but I think that my other budgie Cernel is taking it the hardest. She's just sitting there looking beside her for her best friend. Please give a little prayer for me and especially Cernel to get through the loss of our best friend.

Lauren

Cuppy was born sometime in January 1984. He died November 22, 1998. He was an American hybred who had the body of a medium sized cat and the heart of a thousand pound tiger.
One evening he didn't join his family for watching TV. He wandered off, found a private spot in the shop, closed his eyes for the last time, and headed for the Rainbow Bridge.

We miss him terribly but know we will be reunited at the Bridge.

Billslabs

You came to our doorstep one morning
Our guardian dog from out of nowhere
Sweet and loyal and full of expression
And after 15 long and happy years, you will be missed by us all
as you have departed from our lives, but not our hearts.
We love you, Custard.

Mom, Dad, and KC

Cuthbert is the bestest docen in the universe. I will always carry his smile and grace in my heart. I miss you docen very very much

Cutie was our foster kitty we adopted. She was a gray calico cat. She was very soft and cute that's how my 8 year old son got the name Cutie. We only had her 3 weeks, but she's in our hearts forever. I don't think I'll ever get over her sudden death.

Becca

She was my pride and joy since I was 7 Years old...Goodbye my love dove...Bye Cutie. Thank you for being my best friend through most of my childhood.

-Diane

Cyndi I will miss you so much, and so will Thomas, he is sorry for all the times he got jealous and swatted you when I gave you hugs and kisses. You watched me grow up, from 10 years old to 25, you were the last link to my childhood and now you are gone. I love you and will miss you. I will keep your little bed on the bedside table for you, and the pile of clothes on the closet floor you liked to sleep on.
Goodbye "Pooh".

He will be loved always and sadly missed by his mummy & daddy.

Czar was the best Christmas present I ever received. I love and miss him so much. He was the most important thing in my life for 12 years.

Laura

She was "my beautiful little girl, and I will miss her forever".
