1999 Tributes

MaBee thru Mystique

One sister precedes to await, One remains to comfort.

A silence decends our house.

A void in our hearts.

Tom & Miriam Kennedy

Mac, I can't believe you are not here with us anymore. It has been one month since you left us, but I know the physical pain that was in your body has stopped, and for that I am grateful. I miss you so much! But we will be together again some day! So I ask you to enjoy your time at the Rainbow Bridge. Play and romp with your new friends. Do not be sad because the day will come when I walk over the hill and we will cross the bride together! You will always be my little puppy -- even though you were eighty pounds!

Love Dave

Dear Mac,  
Mommie and Daddy miss you dearly. We know however that you are free from pain and in a better place. I know that you are looking down on us daily and helping us to heal. So, keep watching out for us, for you are still our little angel.  
Love forever and until we meet again,  
Mommie and Daddy.

Mac, I hope you know how much I loved you. I want to thank you for being my unconditional and loving best friend. You were a joy-- pure, sweet, present, silly. You taught me so much. When I was told that you died and then came home to your cold little body, I ached so intensely for you that I could barely stand up. I want to apologize for the times that I only let you out to pee and didn't take you walking, too. I'm sorry for the times you were alone and I couldn't be there with you. I am sorry for any time I didn't give you my full attention-- just know that you always had my full heart. More than anything, I wish I took you to work that awful day. I wish more than anything I saved you, my sweet baby. I know you were scared. I hope your last moments were peaceful, though. Please don't be mad that I couldn't save you-- everyday, I wish I could bring you back. Thank you for being exactly as you were-- the best. I am grateful to have spent precious time with you. I'll miss: the way you almost tipped over when you lifted your leg, the murmurs into my neck after a bath, your barking at the vacuum, garden hose, when I put linens on the bed, the way you would wait at the bottom of the steps or outside a store and then light up when you saw me. God, I miss that. I miss you putting your toy on my ankle to play, the way you would look at food, then at me, then at the food again to tell me, politely, you'd like some. I miss the way you ran by me to get my attention then to the door so you could go out. I miss watching you sniff around in your own little, isolated world. I miss you fully and daily. I love you so much and will never forget you. I am going to do something to memorialize your wonderful memory-- something that you would like. I hope you are watching. I want to see you again-- not just in my dreams, because then I wake and find that you are gone. I'll be waiting to reunite with you in a heavenly place.  
I am getting another puppy, Mac. Please understand that it is because you were so fantastic that I want to care for another dog. The new puppy will never take your place or diminish you memory. You were my first baby and I'll cherish you always.  
Love, your mom, Leah

In loving memory of my devoted companion and friend.

Tera

Mac came into my life eleven years ago and was always there for me. My husband and I have had bad things happen to us during the time he was with us. He was our rock...solid, loving and adoring. With his passing yesterday...I have felt sick to my stomach, can't eat and had terrible dreams about him last night only to wake up and find out he really was not there. My heart has been ripped right out of my body and I only pray that I can face each day without him.

Kathe Waskin

You brought us so much joy in the 5 weeks we knew you. The doggies and your sister miss you very much. Never have we met a creature with such love in his heart.

Sai Simonson

Macavity was my best friend for fourteen years. She and her sister (who passed away last October) were two little feral orphans I raised from kittenhood. She gave me a reason to live many times. I will miss her companionship, belly rubs, treat time, and cuddling. I believe she and her sister are young, svelte, and happy playing with the mother they never knew. God bless you, Macavity. Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Charles Fogarty

Macho-A tribute to the kindest sweetest and most gentle furbaby that God created especially for us.

We had him for sixteen years and three months. He was born June 29, 1982 and God took him away from us on November 30, 1998.

He will be sadly missed & loved and in our hearts until we can be with him again.

Dot & Don Stokes

To my love, Mack, who licked away my tears for so many years. I held you 'till the end 'cause you were my best friend.

Annie

A week ago today, our Mackie died. We shared 14 1/2 wonderous years full of joy, laughter and love. We are consumed with sadness. Friends tell us how lucky Mac was to have had us, but in truth, it is us who are the lucky ones. He is our Forever Dog. Our Angel Puppy...you are in our hearts forever. We love you...we miss you.

Mum, Heather, Jackie, Dad & Gidget

My best friend, confidant, and soul mate, Mackie, lost a brave and valiant battle with liver cancer September 16th. He left this world the same way he spent most of the last 13 years...in my arms. The loss of this incredible companion has left me with an indescribable void. But, despite the tremendous pain in my heart, I wanted to take an opportunity to share a personal tribute to his remarkable life.

Since the day I brought him home, Mackie had been the center of my universe. Through the breakup of my first marriage, the death of Mom, failed relationships, the move to a new town, and all the uncertainties of a new job and a new life...one constant remained: Mackie. He was always there to comfort me, console me, reassure me. My best friend never let me down.

It is strangely ironic that as a new and wonderful part of my life is just beginning with my recent marriage, the Mackie chapter came swiftly to a close. I am just thankful that the two great loves of my life were able to bond...even though it was far too brief.

So many Mackie memories: chasing socks, rolling over for a treat, his fear of squeak toys, snuggling up against me every night, challenging and barking at dogs much larger than he, parading (privately and publicly) in one of his countless sweaters or costumes just to please me, and so much more. How lucky I was to have been his Mom.

I will mourn his passing and miss him more than you can imagine. But, I find great solace in knowing that--someday--I will be reunited with "my little champion."

Mackie owned my heart and knew my soul. He will be desperately missed, but never, never, never forgotten.

Kim Nuzum

The BEST darned German Shepherd Dog ever.
We'll miss our best friend,until then.

Heather & Renee

Mac and Angus, thank you for showing us so much love, hopefully you are in heaven with Granny and Grandpa now. Take care of them for us.

MCLepley

I loved talking with you.

Gloria

It has been almost a year since we lost Macy unexpectedly. I have wanted to make a tribute so often, and could not find the words. Macy was the closest thing to human you could ever get. She was a thinker, a pouter, a lover. She was our best buddy. And everyone who knew her, loved her. She was teased about her weight, and her big fat butt, but she'd just wag it all the harder.

We wanted an English Springer Spaniel. I saw an ad for a free Springer/Cocker mix and decided that will do. Macy was the last one left & barked & barked at us. When we got her home, she wouldn't stay crated, so that night and every night for the rest of her life, she slept with us. She also loved to sit at the table with us and when our first child was born, she napped with the family -- her in the middle next to the new baby.

She loved to ride in the car, but also had a fear of it. So she rode backwards. She would squeeze her big butt in between the bucket seats so it would hold her in!

For the kids birthdays, she would sit and the table & wear the birthday hat. Her salutation was always included on Christmas cards. No dog could of been loved more.

She was 7 1/2 years old when she got sick. She was listless and didn't have energy. My husband took her to the vet & the vet called me at work. He said she must get to a specialist if there was any hope at all. Her body was eating her red blood cells and a transfusion was her only hope. We rushed her to the hospital believing that the platinum Visa was all that was needed to save her life. The specialist was optimistic & told us to go to lunch and they would do the initial examination. We joked at lunch about having to refinance the house to take care of Macy. When we returned to the vets, she told us to go on home & they would start the transfusion. We called several times and she was fine. The next morning, I held my breath as I dialed and was relieved to learn she made it through the night. I really wanted to see her, but still optimistic, I had a test to take at work. 15 minutes into the test, the specialist calls and tells me she has taken a turn for the worst. She didn't usually make recommendations about euthanasia, but in this case, strongly encouraged it as she was suffering greatly.

I was standing in the hall at my office, next to an elevator - people in and out -- and had to tell a second party that it was my desire to have my Macy -- the sunshine of our life -- put to sleep. She was 65 miles away and there was no time for me to see her and be with her. I had to let her go and it tore me to pieces. I felt I really let her down and the pain is still there today.

I can't help but think that our absence let her down -- she lost her will to live. But I try to remember our good times and if any dog had a great life, it was her!

The loss of a pet is the loneliest loss. Life goes on. For me, the healing process was a lot longer than anyone else in our family. And it is only today that I can even think of making a tribute. So here it is:

Macy Ray: your mom and dad will never forget you. You wait for us, Red. There was never another girl like you before, nor will there ever be. You are always in our hearts, always on my mind. The tears have stopped (well, almost) and I can talk about you and smile. I still trace your pictures with my finger and feel your fur in my thoughts. And I smile at who you were and how we were with you. We miss you and love you forever. Please don't think I let you down. If I could do it over again, I would -- I'd move heaven and earth to have you with us today . . .

Tammy & John Vasa

Maddie...my dog, my friend. So loved and so missed. God bless you and thank you for sharing your life with me.
[{{{{{{{{{{ Maddie }}}}}}}}}}}]

My dear sweet Maddie I miss you so much. Not a day goes by without my heart aching for you..you lived your life with such dignity, grace, loyalty, gentleness and love..you will walk by my side forever, my girl Maddie Hayes...I could not go to the lake for 6 months after you left and even now, when I go to walk Fred, the lovely little lost beagle you sent to me, I see you at every turn..all I can remember is how excited you would get when I said."come on Maddie, let's go to the lake"..last week, when you came to me in a dream, you played with Fred for a moment and then came to lay down in my arms and go back to Heaven..thank you for coming to me on the anniversary of your passing..I feel your soul and I have known your love and I know you will be waiting for me when it is my turn..I love you dearest Maddie. you will be in my heart always...Love, Doreen

To the greatest little bundle of joy. Maddie, you made my life so special and I thank you for the time we had together, even if it was short. I will miss playing fetch with you as well as playing with the kitty tease. Your brother Mike misses you to. He cried for you last night, even though he was at the vet when you died, I still think he looks for you as does Reggie and Max. I will see you in heaven:)

It's now 10 days since you have arrived at the bridge. I hope Thor and Cheyene were there to meet you. I miss you terribly, but I know that one day you will be there waiting for me, and we will be together once again and forever. I love you my "Maxidoodles".

Maryanne

Maddux was only four when he died, but he gave me more in that time than ever could have asked for. He was my best friend and had the amazing ability to make me smile with just a wag of his tail or a tilt of his head. He died so suddenly and I wasn't there to take care of or comfort him as he had always done for me. He has left a hole in my heart that may never be filled, but I hope in time won't feel so empty. I eagerly await the day I see his handsome face again, so I can tell him just how much he is and always will be loved.

Maddux, I love you,
Tara

Maddy, I don't know why you had to die. You were such a wonderful little creature, I'll never forget you. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.

Sandy Kumskov

Maddy-At 8-years-old I was just coming to grips with the idea that you were no longer a young cat, and learning to accept that I would have to say goodbye to you someday. Through all of the changes in my life during the past eight years, my whole adult life, you were my constant comfort. You saw me through every move and every change, and every heartache, and every lonely night. You made the ups and downs of life bearable. And through it all I had no idea that I would loose you at what I had envisioned would be the mid-point of our time together.

I hope you know how very much you have been loved, and how much you brought to my life. I have loved you since you licked my finger at the shelter that first day and convinced me to take you home and make you my own. You changed the person that I am. You were my heart. I have loved you since the moment I laid eyes on you. And I will love you forever.

Michelle Gerber

Benjamin and Maddy

Two very special bunnies, who bought us so much joy and love. We miss you both so much.

Love you always

Alex and Martin

Madeline, you brought us such love in the time that you were with us. we miss you so much it hurts. bonnie, Clyde, and Elmer wonder where you are. if only I took you to a different vet, you might still be here. there will be a day when we see you again and for that day to come it won't be soon enough. we love you Madeline. never will we forget you. Love, your mom and dad (Laurie & Dave)

She was the nicest cat ever. Never spiteful and always happy to see you.

Julie

Madison,  
  I miss you so much. My nights are so lonely without you laying beside me. And my lap is so empty and cold without you there. I still look for you to come running for your nightly brushing and early morning treat. It was a special time for the two of us.  
  You were an extra special cat who gave so much love not only to me, but to all who entered our domain. They all will miss you too. I miss that special way we communicated and that loud and soothing purr of yours. There will never be another like you. What a huge void there is in my life now that you are gone.  
  Forgive me for not hearing or seeing your pain, you hid it so well. You were such a brave girl. Everyone tried to ease your pain and make you better, but it was your time to go and be in God's domain.  
So, until we meet again you will forever be in my thoughts, heart and prayers. I love and miss you dearly my soul mate, companion and closest friend.

Suddenly on April 2nd, 1999, my soulmate Madonna, suffered a seizure, and died. I was in shock, screaming at her to wake up, but quickly realized that she had passed away in under a minute. I carried her lifeless body, while shrieking, to the car, and frantically drove to the vet. She was formally pronounced dead there. Within 1 hour, my life had changed. The 9 years I had with her will never be replaced by any other furbaby. Our relationship was unique. I am grateful to have known her love, and although this pain in slow to subside, wouldn't trade it for anything. My life was richer for having had Madonna. Although I have another cat, our bond isn't the same. Today I adopted a kitten for my remaining car, Merlin. Her name is Lucy. I know that one day, I will be with Madonna again at the Rainbow Bridge. Until then, I wish her peaceful days, full of nice toys, warm weather, furry friends, and love. I love you Madonna. Jody

Our beautiful baby. You are so missed and loved. You will live on forever in our hearts and memory and will always be with us. Someday we will be joined together again, but until that time I know you are watching over us and love us as much as we love you

Roseann

Magee has been a very important part of my life for 17 years. He was a king and loving cat, seems like everyone that met him wanted to take him home with them and that's how he was all of the time, gentle and kind. Having him put to sleep was the 2nd hardest thing I have ever done (losing my first cat 6 years ago was the hardest) but I know he was suffering and it was time for Magee to be with Sparky). Magee, you brought SO much joy to my life, I will always think about you and wonder what sort of trouble you are getting into up there in cat heaven with Sparky. God bless you and please let me know how you both are doing.

Lisa Lloyd

Your life was too short, I hope that you will forgive me for being only human and doing the best I could. Please wait for me there and know that I will never forget you.

Victoria Lee Kovacic

To my little PoohBear.  
We miss you very much little one. You will always be in our hearts and our minds. Just moments before you passed on, I told you that I would meet you and the rainbow bridge. I promise, someday, however long it takes, I will meet you there. I love you!

Nancy Nadon

I found Maggie as a kitten not long after I found a puppy, Annie, with whom she grew up. They taught each other bad habits and neither knew who was dog or cat. When I took a new job, I bought a house with a yard that both could play in. Another dog joined our family and life was good. For some reason last night and in some way, Maggie got out of the yard and must have run across the street. For a street with almost no traffic, I don't understand how a car hit her. I found her this morning. I never thought it would end this way. I should have been more careful. I'm so sorry I let her down. It breaks my heart. I've lost other pets, but they've never died alone. They've always known someone who loved them was there.

Ed Urbansky

Maggie was our protector and friend. I hope she felt we gave her the same love and devotion she gave us.

O'Brien's

A special girl, with a valiant heart....

Sue

Maggie, you were a very special lady and your mom Bonnie loved you so. We will all miss you and will see you again one day. Please send our love to our babies in heaven. Love, your Aunt Barbara and Uncle Frank.

My beautiful Maggie. I miss you more than words can ever express. There is an emptiness in my life that will never again be filled until we are together again. Your passing was so sudden...only 8 years old. You used to greet me at the door EVERY time I came home. I still have your blue puff that you used to put in your food dish, sometimes I need to have it with me. I have your pictures everywhere, my little darlin' puss. I will never, ever forget you. God gave us 8 wonderful, magical years together, and for that I will always be grateful. Until we meet again, my beautiful Maggie. Here are kisses on your head like you always liked me to do: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. I love you my Maggie, my darlin' puss.

Mommy.

I miss you soooo much baby, I can't believe how much it hurts. I hope you're o.k., mommy loves you very much. You'll forever be my #1 bo-bo.

Jennifer Ogden

Maggie was a very very special friend to me growing up, as I am sure most pets are to their owners. I got her when I was nine years old. She was with me until she was 15 years old!! I was very lucky to have her as long as I did. Unfortunately, she started developing tumors on her face and body. We had them removed, but they grew back worse and faster than before. The cancer begin to spread into her organs, and her brain. That was when I decided that it was the time to let her go. I was with her for the procedure, and when she closed her eyes she was looking right into mine. She put her paw on my hand as if to reassure me everything would be okay. I am grieving the loss of my baby, but have hope and believe that she is in a better place now, and she is still with me in my thoughts every day. My prayers to all of you who are going through this difficult time.

Jason Templer

Maggie was my best friend for 15 years and it is so hard to say goodbye. I love her with all my heart. I wish I could tell her again how much she gave me and how much I love her.

Cathy Johnson

Maggie died this morning just shy of 5 days after her lifelong companion, Vanessa, passed on. Both were in kidney failure.

Ann

This is for my faithful dog Maggie who was my best friend. She was the sweetest dog and was always there for me. I'll love you forever and always Maggie. Love, Lindsay

To a wonderful companion who taught me so much in such a short life. May all your days be happy and pain free. Until we meet again. We love you so much.

Donna Cornelison-Henasey

Maggie you were the third Scottie we rescued from the Scottie Rescue. You had all the love and care and saw your favorite vet. Yet God took you away after we loved you for 8 months. We do not know why, but he does. Your passing was so sudden, we cannot find closure but we need the strength. You have departed our lives and are now in that milkbone heaven in the sky. We love you and miss you. Your urn is on the bookcase with four others. Heather, Gwenith, Gwen, and Tasha Yar the cat. I know you are all having a good time also with Rex, Tonya. Butch, Lena Dog, Peppi and a kitten we never named. I am sure I have left out some. Do me a favor if you see Snowball give him a kiss for Rich.

We love you and miss you and we will see you up yonder some day.

Love,

Bill, Glenn  
Ms. Missy, Mr. Max, and Lady Gretchen.  
We all love you!

In loving memory of Maggie: Words don't adequately express the loss we feel. How can you put into words 11 years of love, loyalty and friendship? A shining light in our lives has gone out forever. Maggie we will never forget you.

Rob & Kathy McLennan

Maggie spent the last fourteen years of her life helping me survive severe bi-polar disorder and a number of life threatening illnesses. Nothing can fill the void she has left in my life. She was a very special loving companion whose time on earth was cut too short.

Patricia Wilson Pernet

Maggie was a tiny little black cat who had been one of my two creature companions for the last 6 years. Over the past week or two, she had been vomiting, and had lost a lot of weight. I was not able to take her to her regular vet, and had to take her to another vet who examined her and recommended her being but to sleep. As I am not very well off myself, I could not afford to have Maggie have any operations, and the vet said that she might be inoperable anyway (she had a tumour)...so with a great deal of sadness, I had to let her go ...both her mum and I have been mourning ever since

Sarah

Maggie was our wonderful little terrier dog. She followed me around the house, everywhere I went. She was always there for me. Had a rough start as a puppy, almost didn't pull through, but she always had heart. She wanted to live. We couldn't bear to see her suffer, so we agreed to let her go. She went much too quickly and we are grieving our loss. How can we let her suffer? God bless little Maggie, our wonderful dog. Good-bye, my darling. Rest in peace and I'll see you again, I promise.

Betty Varga

To Maggie

Our wonderful dog.
She made grey skies blue
She was accommodating,
Always there.
She brought joy to all;
She wasn't selfish.
Always curious.
Full of hope.
Loving.

Maggie

Betty Varga

Maggie will always live in my heart forever. She was a kind and sweet soul. I will always remember that when she would run, her tail would go around and around, just like a propeller! She will be loved to be at the center of anything our family was doing. She would be covered with wrapping paper during our opening of any kind of gifts and would end up wearing a self-sticking bow on her head... Holidays will not seem the same with out her...  
Goodbye my sweet Maggie. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Tina Napier

Maggie was a wonderful dog-daughter. She was our best friend, and she was always just around the corner. She loved to play with her tennis ball and just be with us. Maggie had a wonderful life. While she had a ton of allergies, and took more medications than people do, and was on a diet of ground lamb and rice for her 9 1/2 years, she was the best friend anyone could ever have. She had a heart attack yesterday and died in my arms - the last thing she did was look up at me, give me a lick and closed her eyes. CPR wouldn't work so I told her -- It's ok, Maggie, go ahead and go, and wait for me. I'll see you soon.

The hole in my heart will never be fixed, but I know she is happy now, and sitting still right at my feet.

Lin & Pat Fields

Beautiful Maggie, faithful, loyal, beautiful and regal. A devoted friend who was a vital part of our family and is missed so much by all. She will always be loved and always be remembered. Despite her regal name, she was always ready for a vigorous game of basketball, until her age and arthritis stopped her from participating in the last year or so. Play now pretty girl, free of pain, but still knowing you are loved by all of your "family".

Cheryl, Steve & Stephen Skinner

To my little Girl -

You were a wonderful dog/friend and are missed dearly. I wish I could have been with you when you left us. I'm so sorry - I didn't know your time was so near. I think of you every day and still see your face when I come home at night. You'll never be forgotten and will have a place on the fireplace mantel and in our hearts forever.

Mags was the kindest, gentlest soul I've ever known. All she wanted was to be loved...and she was. She came to me when I had moved hundreds of miles from home was missing my family and friends. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. She will always be with me....

Ruth Ann

You are always in my heart.

Laurie Rogers

I lost one of my dogs tonight. Her name was Maggie and I had adopted her from the local animal shelter Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 28, 1998). She was about a year old and had been abused and neglected by her previous owner. You could see her ribs and her little hip bones when I brought her home. She ate like she would never get any more food at first but then realized that the Kibbles 'n Bits were in a never-ending supply; same thing with water. She caught on to housebreaking rather quickly and would use newspapers if I wasn't home. She was on her way to being a really good, well-trained companion.

She was terrified of leashes and tie-outs; even the collar was difficult for her at first. As hard as I tried to get her to feel comfortable with the restriction, she never did. She would get to the end of the leash or tie-out and then start screaming (literally). Against my better judgment, I would let her out with minimal supervision to do her "business." She was hit by a car tonight. I hope she'll forgive me for allowing her to be placed in harm's way.

Please remind everyone to NEVER, EVER let their pets roam free. I knew how dangerous it was but I never could figure out how to get her comfortable with the tie-out.

Maggie,
You left to soon without us really telling you goodbye and how much we love you. Seeing your tennis ball and toys breaks our heart. We know you are safe and happy and smiling down on us. Please remember how much we love you, you are in our heart forever.

Love, Mom, Dad, Matthew and Steven

It has been four long months since I lost my Maggie and life has not been easy but I go on each day knowing that my special lady is watching over all of us here at home. When Maggie died I wrote and the responses I got help me more than anyone will ever know. I want to say thank you to all who answered and helped in our grieving. I wish I could say it gets easier but I have not found that it does and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about Maggie or say that is something Maggie would like. It is still very hard when I come home and she is not here but I know she is watching over us. I still cry for her and miss her so much. I know we will be together someday. In memory of my Maggie who left us four months ago today. Maggie, I miss you so much and love more than ever. Love, Mommy

Fran Galloway

My Maggie Mae

How, still on earth, can I convey
the love God took from me that day.
Though I begged "Please let her stay!"
Still He took my Maggie Mae.

Living life was her delight,
so we fought a valiant fight
for more time to love and play.
Still He took my Maggie Mae.

His instrument without a voice--
kindness had to make the choice
to send the sweetest soul away,
He still took my Maggie Mae.

Now impaled upon a knife,
my aching heart still beats with life--
self-inflicted one could say--
Since He took my Maggie Mae.

Melanie Schuhmann

One of the sweetest, gentlest dog I have ever loved and been loved by.

Cyndee White

For Maggie  
Maggie, our path's crossed at a time when we both needed somebody. I'll never forget the first time I saw your sweet face. I went to the pound, "just to look". It was full of dogs jumping and barking. I saw you in the back corner as I walked past. You looked scared and alone. As I walked around, my heart kept reaching for you. I knew you were the one. There was and instant connection. You were so quiet and timid, even in the car on the way home. Boy, did you have me fooled! It didn't take long before you were bouncing off the walls. I swore you had springs for legs. You were so full of energy!  
Over the years you've weathered so many changes, a new husband, two kids, several moves and countless other animal friends, without skipping a beat. You loved us all and were the most loyal little girl.  
As you aged, I worried. I told Daddy if the time ever came that you would need to be put to sleep, that I didn't want him to take you without telling me, thinking he would spare me the difficult task. I had to be the one to hold you until you were at rest. But, fate wouldn't have it that way. You died so suddenly while I was gone for just a few hours. I take some comfort in knowing you were in Daddy's arms and not alone. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you sweetie. It's so hard to accept because one day you were healthy and fine and the next day you were gone. Even though you were 15 years old, it was sudden.  
Thank you for bringing so much joy to our lives. I will miss you forever. Please wait for me at the bridge. I can't wait to hold your sweet face in my hands and kiss your little nose again. Until then, you will be in our hearts forever.  
We love you and miss you terribly. With love from your family, Mommy, Daddy, Stevie and Stephanie. ( and Millie and Oliver too.)

My little mom cat, we miss you still even though you have been gone almost a year. No one enjoys cooking with me as much as you did. I miss that the most. Love you.

Carol Ann Bessette

Maggie May was left in the middle of a road with her 4 brothers in a box. Some kind soul brought the box to a shelter. We found our first and very special dog there. She climbed up my husband's arm, licked his face, and spent the next 15 years being loved by me, my husband, our two sons and everyone else who entered our home. She had spunk!! She taught us how deeply one can love a pet. She will always have an incredibly warm spot in all of our hearts. We will always love you Maggie May.

Magic was a very special kitty - and I miss him still. I'm comforted by the story of the Rainbow Bridge - I'm not sure if it's true, but I sure hope so!

Teresa

"Do you know who holds you now?"
"Death," I whispered.
"No, LOVE."

Until we can hold you again, Magic,
know how very much we love you.

Mommy and Daddy

Magic, my beloved best friend, may you be at peace and without any further suffering or pain.
The unconditional love you gave will always keep you forever in my heart. Until me meet....

Faith

Magic, we still miss you! We loved you so much. You rode around on Daddy's shoulders, hid in the closets and jumped out to surprise us, sleep beneath the covers and loved your cat poles. You were so soft and so beautiful. So playful! We are so sorry the vet said he could save you. He made your last 3 days horrid. You died without us. We are sorry, baby. He is no longer our vet!  
We want you to know that Tinker and Max still look up for you on the amoire by our bed. Max still looks for you in the cupboard too. We all still miss you and think of you.  
Love,  
Daddy Dan and Mommie Cherryl

Magic you were light of my life. You got me through some rough times. I will never forget you and would you did for me. I feel empty inside without you. not a day goes by I do not think of you. You were always there for me whenever I needed you. I hope to think I was there for you too. I know you suffered those last few days. I could see it in your eyes. I never gave up hope in you getting better- I could not let myself. Putting you to sleep was so hard. I am sorry that you could not see Michael one last time. Mom, dad, and I thought it would be best if he did not see you suffering. He loved you very much too. I am glad that you got to die at home in dad's arms. I know it was hard for him but important that you were not alone. We did not betray you baby, we did what was best. I will always remember the times we had together and remember new memories daily. I still see your shadow when I come home in the window you loved so much. Mindee even misses you. We all thought she would be first to go. You had a big impact on so many lives and will not be easily forgotten. I love you and always will. I will see you in Heaven some day because heaven would not be paradise without you.

Rest in peace Magna, at Rainbow Bridge. Magna had been inducted into the "Texas Animal Hall of Fame".

Father Roy Snipe

My beloved and devoted friend; How can I ever express to you the happiness and laughter you brought to my life. How can I tell you how I loved you and how big the emptiness is that was created by your leaving? The bond I shared with you was rare and shall never come again I know, but while you were with me, we shared a special love and closeness that I will remember always. Life is difficult, so far, without you and my heart aches to kiss your face and hear you "talk" to me. The house is quiet and your presence ever so strong. I will try not to hold you here so you can be on your way. Meet me at the Bridge my precious.

Lynn Levingston

Magpie sadly gave up her struggle with Leukemia, even though it was a long time ago, she will always remain in my heart. She left an empty space.

Rachel

You were a wonderful friend and very special family member and will be greatly missed

Robert Bruce & Carol Jordan & Bridget Heard

Mai Tai,

You are the Joy of my life. I miss you dearly, but I know we will be together again some day. Until then, I will miss your morning wake up call, your greeting at the door, your cuddles while I watch TV. But most of all, I will miss your unconditional love.

Love always, Mom

A very special friend who was born the same year as our first three grandchildren. Gave his love and friendship to all 16 of the grandkids........loved to be held by all, but especially "his" Anna, # 1 granddaughter.  
He was diagnosed with cancer last July and amazed his doctors with his spunk and continued high spirits. But the past 8 months were wearing him out and it was time to think of his well being and not the hard decision I would have to make. His doctor said he knew that I would do the right thing when the time came. So hard, but no more pain for him.  
He is buried in backyard and a new tree has been chosen to be planted above him. It is an evergreen holly that will feed his bird friends.  
Dear God, please keep him warm and dry. He likes to sleep "under" the blankets. Please feed him his baked fish, and his chicken breasts, and his canned tuna. And show him the "Rainbow Bridge" so he will be waiting for me.

My sweet little girl. It's only been a few days since I had to let you go. I really think my heart is broken. You were such a huge part of me. For 20 years you lay beside me at night. You waited for me to come home and screamed your head off if I was late. You licked my tears away and listened to my deepest thoughts and dreams. You chewed my pencil when I did my math and slept on my papers when I tried to study. You knew me better than anyone and loved me more than I'll ever be loved. I prayed that you would live to see my first child but now I know that you'll be watching from Heaven. I miss your voice honey- I would give anything to hold you again. I still remember holding you our last day together. I know you were saying goodbye to me and telling me it was okay to let you go. I can still feel you in my arms. I can't look at any of our pictures yet. I'm so sad about spending the rest of my life without you. I can't wait till we're together again. MaiTai you weren't just a cat to me. You were my best friend. You still are. Keep an eye on me and watch over my babies when the time comes. I'll never forget you sweetheart. Help me to let go honey. It hurts so much right now. I know in time it won't hurt so much and I'll be able to look back on our memories and smile. Never forget how much I need you and love you. I miss you...So does Daddy, Kacy, Clyde and Tiggy.

Majic was just one of our dogs. She left behind her sister Moon. I just don't now how to help Moon. Majic and Moon have been together since birth.  
Now that Majic gone Moon(2 days later)stared howling/crying. How do I help her? She is an outside dog. Do I bring her in? Do I just pretend I don't hear it what am I to do for her?

Angel

We miss you Majik & Kisses, Rest in peace at Rainbow Bridge.

Love Brian, Lynn, David & Shae

Major you were and wonderful pet and friend. Thank you for all the good times we shared for sixteen years. Even in death you are and will always be loved. You did your job well and now it is time for you to rest. I know that you are with Jesus and you are being taken care of and no longer suffering. Until we meet again old friend may you rest in peace. Everytime the sun shines I will remember you and you golden coat and wagging tail. Bless you. Love Tony Paul Beasley and family

Major who was always there with me through all my happy and sad days and my lonely days my good and bad days who showed nothing but friendliness to all who came into his home. Jeanette and I miss you so much it hurts but we know you free to run as you used to run. We will never forget you

Malcolm Fussell and Jeanette Smith

To our beady eyed little boy! We miss you so much. We miss playing ball, playing with your wet hackky-sack, we miss all of you. Our lives will never be the same. We are so sorry that your Dr. left you alone, and you had to leave us. No one will ever take your place Major. Lindsay and Brandon miss you so.... More than you ever know. But now you are happy, with alot of other friends. We will light a candle every day for you, and for all others. You are sleeping right outside your bedroom window. A big piece of our hearts went when you had to go. But it wasn't your fault buddy. We Love You Major. Love mom, dad, Lindsay and Brandon

You were a good and faithful boy, you are missed.

Russ, JoAnne, Karin, Russell

He was a dog of rare strength, self-determination, and pride. We were the best of friends. His loyalty and unconditional love saw me through some tough times. It broke my heart to have to put him to sleep, but I knew it would have been selfish of me to keep him.

Six months to the day he died, I saw my "smiling Sammy" in the clouds, and I knew in my heart that he understood and was happy. God cares for him now until the day when I can care for him again.

Debbie

Mala was a lost dog. We were so lucky to have her enter our lives. She came potty-trained! Mala loved to play frisbee and catch and loved her jerky treats! She loved to give her Dad, Jay lots of kisses. Mala was so sweet and gentle with children and babies and she was friends with many other pooches especially Dale's parent's Poodle Cinny and then with their Westie, Becky.

Mala loved to play fetch at the beach but she hated the waves -- she'd run up to them and bark and bite at the water.

Mala is Croatian for little girl. She was one precious little girl for us. We'll never forget her and we miss her every day. Words just aren't adequate to express what a great companion she was for us and how much we miss her!

Mala -- we'll be seeing you again one day!

Dale and Jay Whyte

Mallory, you were the best friend anyone could ever have. You were always there for us and seemed to always know exactly what kind of attention each of us needed. We know that now that that you have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, you will again get to see your human grandfather, who loved you almost as much as we did. We hope that they have plenty of cinnamon raisin bread on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge because you deserve your own loaf each week! We'll always miss you and love you and know that you'll be watching over us from above.

Alan, Sharon & Morgan McKinney

I want to remember Mama and Kitty. Mama was a stray who only came to me for food because she was starving while pregnant. I found homes for her kittens and had her spayed. She never wanted to go out again! Kitty found me, by jumping on my lap when I was outside. Both were wonderful. I think of them a lot, even though they passed quite a few years ago.

Jan

Her name was Mama Bear. I got her in November of 1986 and she passed away from liver cancer February 4 1994. She was a wonderful dog who I loved very much and she loved me back the same way. In our house she was a fierce protector, and the peacekeeper between our other Chow Chows. She has been gone for over 5 years now and I still miss her just as much today as I missed her the morning she passed away. There is not one single day that goes by that I don't think of her, and miss her terribly. I still look for her. Her passing away has broken my heart and I am sure I will never get over her passing away. I am so grateful and thankful that she gave me so much joy and happiness by sharing her life with me. I just wish she would have had a longer life so we would have had more time to spend together. I believe she was so special that God must have wanted her with him so he called her home to be with him in Heaven. The last gift she gave me was to want to go outside at 4:20 a.m. on February 4 1994, where she laid down looked at me and said, "I love you" with her eyes. Then she wagged her tail to say goodbye to me and left this world. I believe she did this for me because I had her scheduled at the vet the next day so he could end her suffering, and she knew that would destroy me to do that. Also, she passed away outside because she did not want to die in the house because I believe she knew I would be reminded every time I passed the spot where she died. A more loyal, loving, kind, and caring dog I could never have hoped for.

Thank you Bear for sharing your life with me. You gave me more joy and happiness than you will ever know. Please take care of Chewey who joined you at the Rainbow Bridge on March 17, 1999. Wait for me so Chewey, you, and myself can be together again!!

Bear I love and miss you lots.

Mom

Penny

You were a gift from God, teaching us love, companionship, trust, and strength. You will be missed by all of us. Until we meet again my dear friend and companion With all our love.

Tabitha, Dionisia, Ruben, Morteza

My "Cookie Monster" is gone. She was the "treasure I longed to find" and now have lost. I will miss her cute little bumb wiggling, tail wagging self, which admitted had waned over these last couple of years. But I did as per following quote from a dog's friend in Kansas City, requests I do:

"And, my friend, when I am very old, and no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having any fun. Please see that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave these earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands."

Forever Loved, Forever Remembered and Forever Missed by Mom, Kelsey, Kaitlin & Misha.

I should have named you "love".

Today would have been your 14th birthday. Happy birthday my Mandi Sauns.

I hope that having Daddy, Mommy, Vin and Michael there with you on Monday, helped your journey to the Rainbow Bridge easier.

You are missed!

His love was so precious and fulfilling. A gift from above that came and filled my heart with love. He was just a baby of 5 years when he left so suddenly. Never had the chance to say goodbye and thank him for his love. I will miss him dearly.

Mandy was my soul mate and the light of my life. Her passing was unexpected and neither my husband nor myself were ready to deal with the grief we feel. She was always there for me, knowing when to be close and when to watch from afar. My daughter called her ""my perfect child"". That is the way I felt about her. I know now she was preparing me for her departure, but I chose to look at her actions as other signs of old age and not the signs one would expect from a dog. She was tired, but kept going for me until her sickness took complete hold of her and she just went to sleep with it. She never cried, moaned or complained. She let the Vet and I do all we could without a fight. But it was too late and I just didn't know it. There are so many good memories with her. The times on the way home from a dog show and we would stop and treat her to a soft serve cone and she would start shaking after a few bites. The way she took those bites like a person and not a dog just licking. Her tolerance of all the new furkids that came into the household, letting me train and work with them and watching from afar a then coming forward when she knew it was her turn to show them what to do or get her pat for being good and staying back. Mandy was intuitive of my every move. Mandy knew me better than I know myself. Mandy was a Champion in more than the title before her name. She was a champion of hearts, winning over people that weren't even crazy about dogs in the house, like my late Mother In Law who fell in love with her one Summer a few years ago. Now they can be together while they wait for us. Bill and I miss her more than we can express. It is rare to see a man cry, but we both cried together this week. Rest In Peace My Mandy until we meet again.

Nancy & Bill Warner

Mandy came into our lives 20 years ago, one of four 2 week old kittens whose mother had died. She was as protective as any dog could have been with my children. She brightened our lives with her loud meows and even louder purrs. She joins our furbabies Tori and Jessie at the Rainbow Bridge. We will love and remember her forever.
"Oh Mandy....you came and you gave without taking"

The Brugger Family

Mandy gave so many years of love and joy. We, including her grandma, who shared her birthday, loved her "beyond belief". We miss her everyday.

Jim and Barbara Markle

Mandy, I know you knew you were the only species to sincerely believe in me. You and I lived through puberty, mom and dads divorce, chaotic life with dad until 1997, when I promised you a better life in our own safe homestead at the farm, and finally You fulfilled your promise of seeing me graduate college. I suppose you felt your work was done.....

Kimberly Berger and James Hoffman

Mandy was my best friend, my hiking buddy, traveling buddy, confidant, and one I could count on to always be there to give me unconditional love no matter what. I still miss her so much! I remember that awful day, 2 days after Christmas 1997, when she started having uncontrollable seizures that were brought on by her diabetic condition, and pancreatic cancer. The hardest decision I've ever had to make, and the most humane one, was to let her go so she wouldn't have to suffer any more. I hate that she's gone, and still miss her every day, but know she's in a much better place, where she can run and play, free of pain and the complications of diabetes. Wait for me, Mandy-girl, and as soon as we meet over the Rainbow Bridge, we'll go for a long walk like we used to, never get tired, always be happy, and always be together forever and ever!

Susan Ward

We'll always love you Mandy.

Joan & Colin

We love you, Mandy, and miss you soooo much.

The Aust Family

Mandy-you were my best friend. I miss you and will always love you. :)

Tami

Our Mandy came to us 13 years ago when we needed her so badly, and left us so unexpectedly. From the first time her eyes met ours, we knew she'd fill voids in our lives like no other could. She was our little angel and always will be. The sound of her bark and the clicking of her nails will ring strong and loud in our heads forever. We will see her walking beside us and jumping the gate while playing her little kitchen game like it's just yesterday. Food will always be dropped to the floor and we will always check the little cave before reclining the chair. Our lives are so empty now with out this little angel of ours. Losing Mandy was so unexpected and sudden. When we lost the people in our lives that meant so much, Mandy was the one who gave the most comforting, unconditional love one could ask for. A gentle little Angel who will be missed for eternity. She will never be replaced or forgotten, for she has made that an impossible feet.

" God looked around his garden and found an empty space. He then looked down upon this earth and saw Mandy's tired face. He put his arm around her and lifted her to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best. He knew that Mandy was suffering, He knew she was in pain. He knew that she would not get well upon this Earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and hills were hard to climb. So he closed Mandy's wary eyes and whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose her, but she never went alone, for part of us went with her, the day God called her home."

Mandy, your faithfulness and love and joy will remain strong in our hearts as it always did in yours.

The Guido Family

I found Mandy in our local pound June 16, 1983, she was so happy and peppy, I couldn't help but fall in love with her. She came home with me that very day, and was a loving companion from that day forward. She loved car rides and ice cream in the summer evenings. A few weeks ago I noticed her becoming weaker and weaker, took her to the vet and found out she had congestive heart failure. We tried all the medications, but nothing helped, she would be walking and just drop over, wetting herself when she did this. We decided to end her misery, My husband and I stayed with her when the doctor administered the drug, I whispered in her ear " go with grandpa, he will give you cookies". My father passed away last June and just loved my little Mandy, I know he was glad to see her. We loved her enough to release her, my heart actually hurts thinking about her. May the Good Lord Hold her in the palm of his hand, till we meet again. All our love, dear Mandy(Sissy Puss), Mommy and Daddy

Thank you Mandy for all the wonderful love and care and joy that you have given me. I will always love you and never forget even when I die. I love you Mandy and I miss you very much especially at night when I remember how you used to sleep together with me, both our heads on the same pillow.

Janet

MANDY, A loving beagle that will always be in my heart, where ever she is right now I know she see's me and I hope she know's I love her and I'll never be away from her and I always see her little eye's looking at me and I can still feel her and smell her from were ever I am. I'll always love you sweet MANDY!!

Ashley

We love you and miss you. Your little sister Katie May is doing well. You saved her life, you know.

Pat Colsher

You were with us only two years, when this terrible illness took you away from us. We tried so hard to make you well, but the illness was too great. You were the best little beagle in the world. We loved you so much and our hearts are broken without you. We will always miss you.

Claudia and Werner

To Mandy Pooker,  
  We bought you strictly as a hunting dog from a friend, and you were going to stay in a kennel outside most of the time - that never happened! You came inside and became a big part of our lives; both a quiet and calm indoor dog and also a dog that loved the outdoors.
   It may sound strange, but from the very first day we brought you home, I started worrying about you getting hurt and dying too soon and tried to protect you as much as I could. You were the first dog I had ever been really responsible for.  
  You were registered as "Midnight Mandy Twist", but you quickly went from Mandy puppy to Mandy pupper to Mandy pooker.  
  You gave us over 13 years of joy and memories: Walks in the park, your favorite game of fetching rocks at the lake (under the water, bubbles coming to the top) and placing them in the grass for the lawn mower to find, sleeping on our bed while we were at work, talking in your own special way to greet us when we came home (why didn't I record that unique sound?), going fishing with us and patrolling from the bow of the boat, laying by the fireplace at night sprawled out on your rug, hunting pheasants in the fall (and kind of making sure they were dead before we could get there), rolling in the snow and pouncing on snowballs we would throw in the snowbank, firmly planting your feet or rolling on your side when you didn't want to go somewhere, giving us the "heavy" paw when you did want to go somewhere, and having such a soft mouth and a loving, gentle soul.  
  An angel came after Thanksgiving to our bedroom where you also slept in the corner. I wasn't afraid; every time I woke up that night, I felt calmed by the angel's presence. You weren't even sick, Mandy, so I never dreamed the angel had come to prepare us that it was almost time for you to go.  
  It seemed to happen so suddenly. You had a stroke and couldn't walk anymore, your head was tilted funny and you stopped eating and looked at us with those sad eyes, as if to say, "please help me." We took you to our vet and we all decided the time had come. You licked me one last time to say goodbye. We stayed with you until you quietly slipped away.  
  That night when we got home, we watched the most beautiful sunset and cried.  
  We scattered your ashes by all your favorite spots, and as we did this, you dropped a pine cone, almost on my head, as if you were watching and approving from above. Thank you for a wonderful 13 1/2 years, Mandy. We hope and pray to meet you some day soon at the Rainbow Bridge.

We love you! Terry and Patty Harmel

Quote from the song The Dance written by Tony Arata and sung by Garth Brooks. "I could have missed the pain, but I'd of had to miss the dance."

Mantra was the greatest son. He was loved by family and friends. His personality was so sweet and loving. He always made it a point to spend time with us, and followed us everywhere. He came when we called him, and he liked to be carried around like a big baby. For a cat, he was unusual in that he never jumped up on the counters. He always went to bed when Mommy went to bed and would sleep with her all night in his special spot. His special spot is still his, and no one else will ever fill it. He is very dear to us and holds a big place in our hearts. So, to Mantra...thank you for being such a wonderful part of our family. We love you!

Dana and Joe

Marble was a sweet loving cat semi-long hair cat. She was an abandoned kitten, and she had a loving home for almost 15 years. She fought a strong against the cancer, but it was time for her to rest in peace.

Pauline

Marble was a shy and tiny little cat, looking more like 2 years old than the 20 she actually was. After she very suddenly stopped eating and drinking, she patiently allowed me to try to save her, despite several of what must have been very painful intrusive procedures. I feel like I betrayed her trust in me, which was so strong and unwavering. I'm quite sure that one of my own last thoughts on this earth will be of my little "water-baby", Marble. Goodbye my sweet and trusting little companion.

Phil

We got Marci when we got the house 14 years ago. The realtor's dog just had pups and we thought we'd get a companion for Max, our gentle, lovable, lab/shepard/bull terrier mix. From that day on her and her big brother Max were inseparable. This spring they were separated though, because we had to put Max to sleep, he was dying from cancer, he was 15. That broke her heart, she would not let us out of sight after it. Somewhere along the way she got Cushing's and Diabetes and we had to put her to sleep on Sep 20th and now her and Max are inseparable forever. We always thought she would pass on chasing after a frizbee not from a cruel disease. When she was young and healthy she loved to play catch with a frizbee or a ball and would do it forever it seemed. She also liked her hedgehog squeeky toy. She would drive us nuts squeeking it until she worked the squeeker out of it. Also, if there was water around she found it, she liked to walk and swim in water no matter how small the puddle. On walks she would walk twice as far as us and Max because she would have to run back and forth between Max, who always took the lead, and us. Sheena our cat will also miss her because whenever we went for a walk Sheena would have to come along and walk right along side Marci. We will all miss Marci terribly but we know her and Max are laying side by side again like they always did.

Steve and Gina Larson

A beautiful, special, loving, and sweet heart who died too early. I miss you Boogie.

C.L.J.

Margo, Mommy and Daddy want you to know how much you are missed by not only us but by you brother Taylor too. He often sits and sleeps in your favorites spots and we know he is thinking of you. Daddy and I kept your favorite toys and we are taking good care of brother for you. We can't wait to be one big family again. We miss your sweet kisses and your tuck a butt run. We love you Margo. Give Rossie and Tasha some kisses for us baby girl.

Love MOM, DAD and TAYLOR

Maria was the first pet that died when I was old enough to understand what was happening. The things that hurt most were that she was perfectly fine up until she died so I had no idea of what was to come. Another thing was that she died so soon before Christmas and I wanted to be able to celebrate the New Millenium with her. I regret not taking her out to play the week before she died because I had a cold and didn't want to give her anything. When she died I cried a lot but now I know she is in a better place when I meet her again when I cross the Rainbow Bridge.

Dana Haddrill

A vet once told me the name suited her as like a Marigold flower which blooms until frost, she was a real survivor. Marigold saw two children raised and moved on, lived through three dogs and brought many hours of contentment to anyone who would hold and cuddle her. I have many fond memories of sitting by the fireplace with her on my lap reading a book. She will be sadly missed.

Cathy McGuire

Marilyn, so named because our son, John Arthur, got her on Marilyn Monroe's birthday, was a delight to each of us. She "ruled and reigned" as any true queen should...with dignity and grace, even though her subjects were less than they should be at times. She loved with intensity and showed unashamed favoritism to her "boy" from the time as a 13 year old he brought her home. As a 21 year old man, he drove 1 1/2 hours to dig her grave in the shady garden where she rests. He got home at midnight and awoke early to work. She trained him well. Our lives are much sweeter because of her...and now forever bereft because of her.
Her memory will never leave us...her spirit will always inspire us.

John Arthur, John R., and Becky Way

Marilyn was more than a dog, she was like another child to me & a sister to my son. We love her Dearly & she is missed terribly! We'll see you at the Bridge Marilyn!

We love you, always, Momma & Jake

Marinka was a very unique dog who passed away unexpectedly due to a tumor. I miss her more than I could have ever imagined, and I will love her forever. I hope she knows how much I love her, and that putting her to sleep was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I wish I could have had more time to say goodbye.

Brooke Shackleton

I will always love her. She is greatly missed.

Her blue-green luminous eyes still look at me in my mind.

Jan

She was the best kitty.

Mitch

Marley will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Marley was the best friend of my brother, Bill and his wife, Jayne.
I know Marley was greeted by the many who went before him- Dylan, Red, Deva, Brandy, Hilda, Tug and Spot. I know he now runs free with no more pain or discomfort.

Amy E. Cavender

Marley was a wonderful friend and companion he is missed very much by his family... he protected 3 small boys very well... he will never be replaced...we loved him dearly.

Rognlin's

Nicknamed "The Professor," this calico spent many good years loving us and being loved in return. We pray that Marmy is safe and look forward to seeing her again.

Janice Stevens

Marmalade was the epitome of love and trust. She made every day brighter because she made us laugh. Everyone who met her smiled at how cute she was. Her early life was not happy because she belonged to little children who did not know how to take care of her and the adult in the family didn't care. My friend Jan stole her and took her into her home. Later, Jan saw how much we loved kitties and gave her to me. Unfortunately, Marmalade did not receive the feline leukemia shot and, when we took her to the doctor, she had already been exposed. She lived with us for 41/2 years. Her death was very difficult and I hurt at the thought that she could not possibly understand why we were causing her the terrible misery of having to go to the pet hospital, being kept overnight, and being subjected to needles and tests. I know she felt that we had betrayed her. I hope to God she understands now. She was very deeply loved.

Catherine Bowser

A wonderful friend, my very best friend when I was growing up.

Frank Groth

Marriner was my companion for 18 yrs and lived a happy life even up to the end. She left this world as herself..no pain..no discomfort..it was her time and she knew it...she as crossed "the rainbow bridge" and I will meet her one day and hold her in my arms with joy.

Shirley Cullen

A very Beloved friend, Very missed

S.T.Symmes

You were the best, sweetest, most loving friend. We love you and will always hold you close. Thanks for the love sweet boy and rest in peace.

Nancy and Stephanie

Martha was the sweetest, most perfect cat in the world.  
She went out one night and wandered off. That night, before I fell asleep, I felt there was a feminine spirit in the room with me. I felt warmth and affection.  
The next morning we found her by the side of the road.  
We thought she knew how to avoid cars - it must have been spring fever. My poor baby. I love you, Martha. You never even got a chance to grow up.

Erika

Martha, you can finally see and hear and not be afraid any more. Go find George and Cashie and play. What a gentle heart. We'll see you at the Bridge.

Love you -
Annie & Jay

My dearest Martha, I will remember you and feel you with me always. Save me a space next to you on the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for our special relationship. Love, mom Claire

Martina,
I love you. I love you so much. I love you so much. I love you. I love you. I suppose that it would have been more painful if you hadn't been put down. Please forgive me. I hope there's a mouse heaven somewhere and that your up their with God and your 11 babies that died a year ago. I hope your happy. I didn't know that it would happen so quickly. I'm sorry. I thought that I would get to hold you and watch you fall asleep slowly and peacefully. I didn't know that it would be so quick. I wanted to hold you. I wanted to hold you I wanted to hold you. I love you Martina. I always will. I'm trying to imagine you with wings right now, a mouse angel. Its to hard though. I keep thinking of how quickly the color drained from your eyes. I tried to close them but they wouldn't shut. I tried to put your tongue back in. It wouldn't go. My heart is breaking for you now Martina. I have always loved you. You are and always were truly a little angel with a big heart. It is a sad sad day. I love you Martina. I will never forget you.

Mary was a real sweetheart of a cat. Our whole family will miss her. She because of a tumour on her lungs that was causing her lungs to fill with fluid. She was having great difficulty breathing, so I had her put down. I am glad she is no longer in pain, but miss her dearly. Especially when sitting at the computer, because she liked to sit on my lap and help.

Janet Killips

My little comedienne

Caryne Jesse

We (your family) will never forget you Mary. Your love and warmth brought joy to our lives. When you had your kittens at such a young age you were an excellent mother. You lived a long and meaningful life. You will be greatly missed.

Amy

On Monday, October 4th, a sweet and loving silly old dog passed from this world. She was "just a rescue dog" to some people, but to us she was a friend, companion and family. She left her two-year old girl behind, whose face still lights up every time she says "Tilda!"

Bud Harte

English bull dog female, died July 6, 1999. Big fat smelly bull dog with the sweetest expression in the world. I just couldn't stop hugging her. I miss her terribly.

Jane and Marshall Ross

To our beloved cat. We miss you so much. Mommy feels much pain and regret for not spending more time with you. You were taken away so suddenly. We had no idea you were sick. We only hope you will forgive us. We want you to know that we love will always love you and you will be in our hearts. We shall meet again one day. Love Mommy and Daddy

Suzette & Keith

She was a very good dog, she was just like my baby. I love her and I miss her terribly my love is always with you, Mattiemae

Cindy & Wilbur

Baby girl/Girlfriend,
Until we cross Rainbow Bridge together, You are greatly missed. You will always be in our hearts.
Thank you for all those wonderful years together.

Barb & Jack

Maude was the best dog that ever existed. She gave each member of our family unconditional love (and a million kisses!) She tried to calm her sister Jazz down whenever she did anything naughty. When she was at the Emergency Pet Hospital, she was extremely weak. Even though she could barely move, she managed to give me a kiss, a kiss I will never forget. She was the perfect dog, never did one bad thing.  
    Filled our hearts with gladness  
    Took away all of our sadness  
    Eased our troubles, that's what she did.

The Toplitzky's

Maude was absolutely, without question the "perfect" dog. Never in her eight years with our family did she do anything wrong. Other dogs get into trouble. Maude never did. She always sat quietly and patiently until we were ready to give her our attention. Maude never asked anything of us, despite the constant cheering-up and attention she gave us. She loved it when we spent time petting her and was in heaven whenever we allowed her to lick us. I can still see her adorable, square black face and dark brown eyes.

I will never forget Maude. She was the first dog our family had and will always be my favorite. I am glad the she only suffered the week that she did. Maude did not deserve the pain, suffering and loneliness she must have felt while living the past in the hospital. I hope she is in a better place now and can lick somebody whenever she wants to.

Harlan

Maurice died today (5/21/99) in the vet's office. We had to put him down because he had feline leukemia. He was the most loving cat I have had. Two years ago, we had to make him and his brother, Sheldon, outdoor kittys because they would not stop spraying in our home. They could come inside only under strict supervision. We tried to make them as comfortable as we could by building them a cat house on top of scratching posts. They had plenty of blankets and food. Sheldon died 14 months ago at the hands of a raccoon. We believe he was chased into our swimming pool and he drowned. Sheldon, like his brother, was a loving cat, but a little more aloof and independent. Maurice was fearless and never would back down to the raccoons or other cats, but he was also quick to give and receive affection and was constantly purring. He was a very loving and gentle cat. I feel so guilty about making him stay outdoors and for becoming hardened to his cries to come inside. I feel guilty for getting mad at him when he sprayed indoors and putting him outside. I hope so bad he knows how loved he was. I wish I would have appreciated him more. This is the pain that is breaking my heart. I am trying to believe he is with his brother now and is happy and free of the pain he experienced his last month of life when leukemia was rapidly weakening his body. I love you Maurice. I will miss you.

Nicole Winters

My Mushy Mavey,

We miss you more then words could ever describe. I will remember only the good, your smile at the camera, your mushiness, your goofy swim stroke, and your eyes, your eyes before you got sick my little labby.

I am sorry your time here was so short and I love ya Mavey! :o)

Jeanine Dunn

Maverick walked into our lives. He was found on a busy highway at the age of three weeks. He came to us full of fleas, yellow in color and his tiny bones were sticking out. I bottle fed him every three hours and the second day he was with us...he purred...and I cried tears of joy. He was a "hugger" and a "smiler". Whenever you picked him up he would hug you. Whenever he wanted attention he would "flop" on top of you and "smile" He graced our lives with joy. There is always one who steals your heart, he stole ours. He worked so hard to get to us and at the age of six months, on February 10, 1999 he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Such a sweet, innocent life taken by cancer. The void in our hearts will never be filled. Goodbye dear Maverick, I know you are at the bridge "smiling" and "hugging" all the other fur angels. We miss you, thank you for gracing our lives with your love. You will always be our "valentine" the keeper of our hearts.

Forever,
Isabel

Mawson was a special boy who brought much love and happiness to me in his all-too-short time with me.

Ellen

Dear sweetest Maya, although now we have Roy with us you are still in our thoughts and hearts. Be sure we will never forget you.

Maria Elisabetta

Please wait with Baby Rinky at the Rainbow Bridge for us.

Love, D&D

Maya and I met when she was 8 weeks old and I was 12. I had raised money by selling baked goods to purchase my first show Samoyed. She quickly became my best friend. She had a successful show career and we were inseparable. Having guided me through times, good and bad always with a wagging tail and a kiss on the cheek...she could do it no longer. We took very good care of each other the last 12 1/2 years and I don't know what I will do without her. Maya, you were the best dog I will EVER have. I love you very much :)

Jasmine Catlin

Maya I still miss you so much. You were such a special gift and I hope you had a wonderful life. I'm glad you were sick for only a short period of time and wish I had known we couldn't help you s you could have been a t home with us at the end. I hope you went peacefully.
Thank you for the last kiss when I was crying. It's still hard for me to believe that there was nothing I could have done to prevent your illness or save you. I would have done anything. Peace to you. I know your spirit lives on. I will never forget you.

Suzanne

To May, the light of our lives, whose main goal in life was to bring those that loved her together. Our prayer is that our beloved companion's spirit live in eternal painfree peace. Until we meet again dear May.

Your loving soulmates

Dennis and Susan Seem

Our precious angel will always be remembered and missed dearly.

He was my lifelong friend, We loved him so much, I hope he is playing with my husband, Who is now in heaven to.

Darla Rodriguez

Max, I miss you so much. I can't put into words how much you meant to me. You were always there for me. You knew just how to make a bad day go away with a tail wag and a lick on my face. I miss the feel of your soft fur under my hand, the look in your beautiful eyes when you saw a piece of hot dog, the click of your toes across the kitchen floor, and the warm weight of your body against mine when you would come over and offer your support. I wish I could have been there when you passed over. I would have told you how much I loved you. It has only been two days and yet it feels like a lifetime. I love you so much, and miss you dearly. You will always be in my heart, dear one.

Love forever, Jess

To our family pet, Maxie,

We all loved you so much, Max, you were the best dog ever!
Remember how you spent your first night at our house in a box on a hot August night and you panted and whined all night while Becky tried to keep you quiet. Remember how she always told you that, "Momma didn't want you," and it was because of her that you joined our family.
Remember how you would run up the stairs "to wake your boy up for school," lick his face and bite him all over. Then go downstairs and jump on my bed and play ground mole. Remember how you always nudged dad's arm for him to pet you. He really did like you.
Remember how you always pouted when we left for vacations and hockey weekends and you had to stay at Grandma's. She liked you, too.
Remember the time we took you up north for summer vacation--you always like to ride in the car and never forget the Thanksgiving that you got in the turkey platter on the back porch and nearly ate yourself to death. How bloated you were laying on the floor.
Remember how you would always rolled over on your back in the driveway and I would have to pick you up and carry you in the house before I could go to work.
You were a wonderful family pet for all those years and such an enjoyment to all of us. I know your last year wasn't easy being blind, deaf, and having insulin shots, but I think you were happy to be with us another year.
Remember how I rocked you on your last night, talked to you, petted you, and cried tears on your ears. We are all so sad to lose you.
Brian came home and we buried you by the little garage, so I can see you from the kitchen window and you can see the back porch of the old house. You will be missed and in our memories forever as the family dog the kids grew up with. Love, mom, dad, sister, & brother.

In honor and memory of Max, my beloved cat and dearest friend. I am privileged to have shared a home with you and to have spent eight wonderful years with you by my side. You will remain safely in my heart forever and I pray that we will find each other once again at the Rainbow Bridge. You are my angel. Love, Mommy.

He Walks On
It's a beautiful day, Sun is shining
The wind is warm upon our face
We walk together, Him and I
We come to the place, Where we must stop
He looks up at me, I down at him
I kneel down, He licks my face
I kiss his nose, I hug his neck
For you see, The Bridge is ahead
And he must go alone
And as he Walks on,
My tears start to fall
He turns to me, He stares,
He wags his tail,
He is at rest, Waiting for me to return
For we will be together, Him and I
When it is time
We will walk on, across the Bridge
Together

Max was the greatest dog in the world. He had the most unique personality I have ever seen in any dog.  
He was my other Tiff and Scott dogs best friend and his companion. He was only 10 months old when we lost him.  
He was hit by a car and killed instantly on the night of Nov. 03 1999 My girlfriend and I loved him more than anything. We will never forget you Macky.

Tiff and Scott

My dearest Max and my "first born" Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you my friend. You are in my heart and thoughts forever. You were the best, we went through alot together you and me, and for your always loving support and "kisses" I am forever grateful. I will see you someday and we will meet at the bridge. Grandma will take care of you for me till I get there! XO

Sharon Brown

Max & I were thrown together after a roommate moved out & left him there.  
We didn't really know each other, but we became friends after a few years of my coaxing him near with food and affection. We wound up bound together on many levels, one was the loss of several of his teeth to gum disease! That cemented the commitment I made to take care of him, and it inspired him to trust me completely, the only person he ever got really attached to.  
We lived together for 9 years, and traveled across the USA together. Kidney failure due to hyperthyroidism was what took him, and I miss him terribly, even his stinky breath!!  
See you on the other side of the bridge, booboo...  
Xoxoxo  
Camilla

Max We looked hard for you, we still look for you and always will. I will meet you at the bridge!

Love Amanda, Debra, and Larry. Sissy the Boston terror misses you to! I long to hold you again. I love you Max.

Hi, Max! Bet you've been looking for Cheepers, haven't you? I'm still looking for you HERE! Quorum wonders about the empty cage, but Dr. Rosskopf said that I did all that I could for you. The earthquake must have rattled you more than I thought! Fly happily with Cheepers, little guy, and I hope you both find plenty of your favorite treats there!

Katheryne Koelker

Max, my "Labradog", was a kind and gentle soul. He was my best friend and constant companion for nearly 15 years.

Veronica

I submit that my dog, Max Hanson, champion black lab, field trial/pheasant hunter, is buried in the best place of all, in his master's heart. He is missed always. May he remember the last words I spoke to him, I'll be with you soon. I love you Max.

Kent Hanson

Dear Honey Puppy,

I love you, you are always in my heart and in my mind.  
You reminded me that life is fun and special and that the best things in life are the simplest ones.  
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING SMILES AND LAUGHS BACK TO MY LIFE.  
THANK YOU FOR BRIGHTENING MY DAYS. I CAN ONLY BE GRATEFUL FOR HAVING HAVE YOU...

Eleonora

Max was my ultimate dog. He gave unconditional love at a time in my life which I needed.  
I miss him greatly. He was my protector, my comforter, my friend.

Laurie Labelle

Max died while we were away on vacation. He was almost ready to have his 8th birthday, and his death was quite unexpected. The people who were taking care of him for us had no way to contact us, so we didn't find out about his death until 10 days later when we came home. We didn't even get the chance to say goodbye to him. It's been 5 days since then, and everywhere we go, everything we do reminds us of how much a part of our lives he was. We are grieving so much that it's hard to imagine how we will ever get past it. Max, we want to tell you what we would have told you if we could have been with you as you were dying, the thing that made your tail wag more than anything else: "You're such a good boy." I hope you know that we will love you forever.

Nora, Mark and Bryan Allen

Max, you fought the good fight against the big C and we thought we won, but that turned out to be an illusion. I will miss playing with you and look forward to someday being with you.

Jeffrey Penkowski

Max I love and miss you so much. I can't imagine my life without you. You were one of the best things in my life. You are forever in my heart.

Wendy

Dear Max  
You, so precious little brother, Max.  
You have illuminated our family and brought joy for over 11 years.  
However I am grieved not to reward you for your devoted love.  
You were buried in my heart.  
Never forget you and your unconditional love.  
I will miss you so much, Max.  
Farewell, My little brother!

Sung Ki Kim

I feel like I have lost my best friend. A boy always happy full of joy and love. I feel like I have lost a part of me. I feel like a part of me died when he did. He made me excited about coming home and I will always miss him. I love you Max forever and always.

Trish

Thanks for over 17 years of unconditional love, I love you still my baby boy.

Kathryn

Max, your pain and suffering has ended. It was the most difficult thing I ever did, in letting you go, but I know that NOW you are in a wonderful, warm and sunny place, filled with flowers, butterflies and plenty of squirrels and chipmunks to chase! You can have all the treats you loved, including crabmeat, salmon, tuna, ice cream, and roast beef. Puddy and Sandy miss you, very much, and we all love you and miss you, tremendously. I will never forget you, my beloved, Mad Max!

Tamara Eastman

My name is Michael Mizzoni and I am 8 years old. I have 4 Rottweilers and I have a special Rottweiler that I want to tell you about .His name is MAX. My mom saved him from a very bad home and brought him to our house were we loved him so much. He had to go to a place called The Bridge because he was so abused by his owner that mom couldn't help him. We all loved him and I know he must know that we loved him too. He was my best friend because he needed alot of love and always kissed me everyday. My mom said he had to go to the Bridge to be with God because God needed a very special dog like Max to watch over all the other Rottweilers that are in Heaven. I know that when I die someday he will be there waiting for me with his big wet kisses for me. I miss him so much and my mom and I hung a wind chime in the tree were he is sleeping now so he can always hear the sounds of the chimes and I stop when I hear the chime because I know that he is watching over me. Max is a very special dog and I love him and miss him so much...

Michael Mizzoni

I am sending this remembrance. I lost Max today. I don't know if the words mean anything to you but they are a small and insignificant remembrance of a mighty cat who loved me unconditionally and thoroughly. For 17 years he was my companion. He picked me and we traveled together. Thanks for the outlet. God's peace.

RJ

Max was a gift from God. We adopted him six years ago. He was a white, blue eyed, male, non-hearing cat who was very special. He died April 5, 1999 after a short illness. I will miss him greatly. I love you Max.

We miss you very much, Max. The house is very lonely without you in it. We all feel very sad that that we had to put you to sleep because of your biting. We hope that you somehow understand why it had to be that way. It doesn't seem fair just because you were a dog and not a human. But we thought of you as a human and we all loved you very, very much. Hope you are much happier in heaven and we will all see you up there someday and we can be together again...

Johnston Family, Dad, Mom, Emily and Sean

Max was a special puppy. In the short time we had him we came to love him very much. He was given to my 8 yr. old as a Christmas gift. This boy loved to play and run around the house like a wild man. When he got his baths he would go and get on the water bed under the pillows to get warm. He had his own basket of toys and tried to see how many he could drag into the living room. We had taught him to speak, sit and lay down. He loved to cuddle at night when he was tired.
We will miss his presence more than we can say!

Terry Parnell

Max, We miss you very much and will never forget you. You made us laugh and cry. You brightened all of our lives just by being near us ...thank you. We wish we could have thrown you your ball just one more time, and felt you close at night. We will all meet again. Till then you'll always be in our hearts.

Anne, Jay, Heather & Haley.

Buddy, Shelby, Billy and Nelson love and miss you too....

Max-  
We couldn't have had a better dog. Thank you so much for all of the years of happiness you have given us. All I have left to say is good bye my silly silly dog I love you.

Summer

Max, We all miss and love you so much. Each day goes by just a little slower without our Maxie's great smile. Till we meet again, all our love is sent to you our beloved friend and companion.

Theresa, Dave, Doug, Derek and Travis

They said it was old age, when your legs could not carry you anymore.
Where did the time go ? For us you will be forever young.
All your toys tell me: 'Max was never old'.
You greeted us like a child and loved us like a child with unconditional love.
All you ever asked for was to be with us.
We will never forget you. We miss you terribly.

Mom, Dad and Dean

Max,
I miss you so much,
I want to thank you for teaching me what unconditional love really is, for kissing away my tears when I was upset, for wagging your tail when I was happy, you were my comforter, my joy, my best friend.

I will love my Maxaboy forever,

Tami

He was a traveler who came to me just before he died. He was my boy and I still miss him.

You have been an inspiration to all that you knew. Thank you for protecting us, comforting us, and for the time you were with us. You will be missed, never forgotten. You will always be a vision, that will remain in our hearts. May you soon find the rainbow and follow it home. We will never forget you.

Mark Kelly Brandon and Ashley

The one friend that I had in this selfish world, the one that never deserted me. He went every place with me and was loved by everyone. I'll miss you Max, you'll always be in my heart.

Dave

Max-

I still can't believe that you are gone. You were such a young, healthy puppy. We only had you eight days, but those eight days were some of the funnest and most challenging I have gone through in a long time.

I am working really hard with the police, and animal control to find the person who fed you rat poison, which caused you to get sick the day after Christmas, and die early the next day under the loving care of a skilled veterinarian.

God bless you, we miss you, love you, and pray for you.

Cara, Nancy, Emma

My dear, sweet Maxamillion was the most loyal, loving, sweet-tempered, tolerant purr-ball feline I have ever known. What a loving friend Life will never be the same without him. I miss him terribly, but know he is pain free now, liberated from his damaged, disease-wrecked little body, which was holding him down and causing suffering. It is comforting to know that we may have underestimated his original age, when I "obtained" him, back in 1986. I just assumed he was around a year old, as I had never had a cat before & didn't know any better. The vet said later, that he could have been 5 or 10 years old then!!!

I will cherish the memories of the 13 years Max and I shared together. I miss my dear friend terribly  
--Until we meet again, Maxi. I love you tons,  
Jillouise

We dearly miss our gentle giant. We see you everywhere we look. Inside and outside, at work and in the motorhome. Nothing will be complete again without you being with us. Say hello to Patches and Midas. We love and miss you all. Max, our buddy, we will see you and the others again. Until that time we will meet in our dreams and in our hearts.

Lewis & Merle

Max & Coco, I will always love you both. Good night, my babies.

Shawn Oldt, their mom

Faithful friend, ever ready to defend his family; we will miss you.

My little Maxi, My little tailess cat, that lit our lives for a short period of time, and than was gone.

May the angels be with you.

Liora Gelbart

My forever friend. How we loved you "Moochie"

June McDonald

My beloved Maxie,  
When you died, I thought no words could truly express my grief. Then a friend sent me this quote: "We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan." The Once Again Prince, from Separate Life Times, Irving Townsend.  
Sweet dreams, my baby. I love you and will keep you close forever in my heart.

Janine Bruce

Dear Maxie. How I miss you, my friend. You are free of pain now. I know I did the right thing. Wait for me close to rainbow bridge, and we will soon be together again.
Keep playing. Love Pat

Dear Maxie,
I'm sorry that we were so ignorant and though you were only with us for three years, they were the best three years of my life. I remember how you would climb on your cage and close your eyes when we petted you. I hope you are at Rainbow Bridge now. I'm sorry I wasn't with you at the end.

Love, Chad

Maxie - we will remember you forever. You are a special little creature and my love cat. Your best buddy, Jake, misses you too. I know we will all meet again.

Love forever, Judy, David, Jake, and Ivy

A loyal little friend.

To those who knew and cared for Max,

Sometime around 3:30 this morning my companion Maxwell passed on. I was fortunate to be with him, comforting him and making my peace with him; letting him know how much I loved him; and asking him to let Sasha, Shane, Patches, and all the relatives know how much we all miss them. I let him know that I'd see him in a while. It was very clear that he (and I) knew that it was his time to finally catch up with my little girl Sasha (She was always faster than him).

Those who knew him, know that Max was a smart, loyal, stubborn, lovable little bastard that rarely missed a meal. He had a cast-iron stomach and appreciated an occasional Tortillas chip right up to the night before he departed. He had perhaps the greatest most distinct howl I've ever heard whenever he heard a siren. He occasionally scared little kids (and adults) with his scary looks or his way of talking to them with his low growl. But you quickly found out what a lovable, teddy bear he was. There weren't many that knew him that didn't love him.

To my dearest Maxwell,
All my love till we meet again. Your master, and one of many who loved you,
Arthur

Max was my very best friend, my buddy, and he would listen and comfort me when I was unhappy and share my joy when life was kind. He always follow me around, never letting me out of his sight.

He would jump into my lap if I was having bagels and cream cheese for breakfast and we would share.

That cat snored too. He was so loud he woke me up occasionally - kinda like a husband or boyfriend.

I look forward to seeing him again and thank Creator for gifting me with such a wonderful friend for ten whole years.

Leslie

Dearest Maxwell,

There will never be another little doggie like you. We all love you so much, so very much, that somehow, we found the strength to call the doctor to our home and allowed you to go to sleep peacefully in your own home, surrounded by all those who loved you so very much and who you loved with such a passion. Our hearts have been broken since that Monday night in March. You were the best little Maxie and we all miss you so much that we can't seem to stop crying over you. Your picture remains lit up on our piano, along with the candle Adam lit for you right before the doctor arrived at our house. Your ashes were delivered on Good Friday, and somehow, it felt like you had come home to us.

We love you so our little Maxie, and know that some day we will all be reunited at the Rainbow Bridge. In the meantime, please be happy, free of your pain, happy in heaven with your doctor, Dr. Faust, and Lillian and her little schnauzer, miss Scarlett. Please be happy Maxie and please forgive us for letting you go.

Jane, Fred and Adam Smith

To my loyal and best friend. I miss you.

Jim

For My Dog Maxi,

I loved you for being a dog who brought love, laughter and tears to our eyes. For all the years which we raised you to be a good dog. I hope one day that I will be with you so that I could play with you.  
We will always remember you forever.  
Michelle...

Today, December 17th, 1999, 8 days from Christmas, 15 days from the New Year, at 7:30pm, Maxwell Mangiapane was put to sleep. For all of you that do not know Max, he was my dog. Max was a German Shepard, always with a happy dog-smile on his face, always running around, always playing, always loving. Some of you have met Max, and those of you who have, have seen his hyperness, and how he jumped all over u people who he didn't know well. Those of you who haven't met him, have probably seen his picture, which I have added to this email. Max was a wonderful dog, when I came home he would be at the window looking out at me as I came home, and he would run to the back door and run at me and jump on me almost knocking me down. Tonight I visited him at the Vet by Hauppauge High School. His eyes were yellow, he was almost motionless, and he WASNT given drugs... he was never like that, ever... he couldn't move his head, and only slightly shifted it to rest his head on my arm... He was hooked up on wires and was breathing with a lot of trouble.. I will not deny this, I cried. I'm crying as I write this letter, I have been since 4 o clock when I heard the news. Max has had this sickness since he was born. Many dogs have had it. It doesn't kick in until the dog is 2 - 9 years old... Max was 3 and 1/2... he threw up first, then when he went to the bathroom, it was filled with blood... Dogs should have between 30 and 40 something (not sure which measurement) of blood in their body... Tonight, Max had 7 or 8... He will be put to sleep at 7:30, a 3 and 1/2 year old dog loaded with energy, always licked me when I came home, slept in my room next to my bed on a pillow I had made just for him, and he will be buried tomorrow.. Me, my brother and my father lost not only a dog, but a best friend... but despite all this, we are keeping him in our hearts, and I hope u all will remember Max along with me... Thank you  
-Matt

Max, we will never forget you, and we will always love you.  
Every one of us hopes you never forget the wonderful life you led, and that you have a wonderful time up in Heaven... I will be there soon enough to join you.
Amen

He was the best little friend a human could have; he loved everyone and believed that everyone loved him as much as I did.

Lyndae Allison

This is for my dear friend Maxx, or Haag's Wired to the Maxx, as the AKC would have it, who waits for me at The Bridge just as he eagerly awaited my arrival home from work every day. He was a hunter, guardian, companion and dear friend to my family, dogs and cats alike. Bud the Basset and Jenny the Greyhound miss him very much. I know that he knew that he was dearly loved, and that we'll all be together one day.

Rick Olsen

You have brought so much to my life...I will miss you so very much...

Karen King

My best friend, always!!!!!

Susan Sain

Maynard, I am once again changing residences, only this time - after 20 years - you won't fill my new house with your love and antics. You won't be waiting for me at the door when you hear me come in and you won't give me kisses when I ask. I know I am fortunate that you were with me for so long, because you were my best buddy through all my trials and tribulations. I will always hold you close in my heart.

Sam

For MY McGee, my bestest friend, I cannot write - go to http://www.lbd.org/mcgee

Kathleen Andes

A.K.A "Rockstar magee" She had the face of a seal. I miss her so much.

Laura

McLucky, you were strong and courageous in your battle with epilepsy. You taught us many new things in life and because of you we made many wonderful friends. Looking into your big brown eyes we felt we could see into your soul. We miss you so very much and our hearts ache to hold you once again.

Patti & Ron

Mealy was the best cat my family could have ever been blessed with. I would say that he certainly was given more than 9 lives, and also used them all. He was the friendliest most loving cat in the world. He would run up to a perfect stranger. I can't explain how much I grieve for him.

Amanda Gavin

Meego helped me through a time of serious depression and may well have saved my life. I was alone until she was put in my life. Meego taught me how to love and care for someone. She was my best friend and my cuddle bug. She was my buddy who went everywhere with me. She was the sweetest and most loveable pet I could ever ask for and I will remember her always. It still hurts so terribly being here without her.

My beautiful cockatiel, it's been a week since you left and my tears still flow. I miss you so much and I so wish you were here with me. You showed me that I was capable of loving and being loved. I wish I had known that you were about to lay eggs - maybe I could have done something more. You got sick so fast I couldn't help. I'm glad you didn't die alone in a vet's office, but laying on my chest with me scratching your head, which was your favorite thing. How I wish I could scratch your head and kiss your little orange cheeks one more time. Meego, I know you're up there flying around having the time of your life, but I miss you so much down here. I'd do anything to have you back. I will never forget you. Love, MaMa

God created special playmates for man who would love and protect man unconditionally. I was blessed for 7 year with Megan and Ted E. Bear and 3 years with Katie.  
Megan was my pride, she was bright alert, assertive and kept me hopping. Her nickname could have been Teeger. Ted. E. Bear was resuscitated at 9 months and suffered brain damage. He never knew how to be naughty. He was such a delight for the soul. He was my Joy. Then along came Katie Rosemary who was my absolute love. She was a therapy dog and loved people, animals, children. It hurts so to think of their death by inhalation smoke in the fire but they were so enmeshed with each other I think the dear Lord felt that this was the best was to get them to the Rainbow Bridge. You are missed my loves.

Dianne M. Henken

"M" was my best friend and child. She was taken tragically from me and I miss her so. M was brindle with a white star on her chest. To me, the star said it all. She was my star and guiding light. We had a special relationship. She knew when things were bad and was always there to give support any way she could. She was a clown when needed and a caring dog. She over came many obstacles in life before coming to me. Her health was never the best and maybe because of that her personality was so trusting and loving of everyone. She was a sweet dog and will always be in my heart. Bye M'ie, Mommy LOVES YOU.

After a courageous battle with SLE our darling little girl succumbed to cancer. She was a gentle soul who brought everyone happiness. Her courage and optimistic outlook lasted until the end and she left us many valuable lessons. Words can't describe such a loss.

Rick & Sharon Whiteley

Meg came into my life in 1980. She very quickly became my best friend. She really didn't like anyone but me, other people she barely tolerated, as my husband says, she was not a friendly cat. That was okay, for I knew that she loved me and that was all that mattered. She became very ill as a result of her diabetes and I had to put her to sleep. I feel bad that I couldn't let her go as soon as she wanted, I was too selfish, I just couldn't do it. Please forgive me my baby, I am so sorry. I still miss her every day of every week, month and year. I know she is at the bridge waiting for me and I take great comfort in that. So wait for me Meggie, someday we will be together and won't that be fine!

Melva

She was our true and faithful friend...we will miss her.

We rescued her from brutal arms,
Pampered her and kept her from further harm.

She always spoke her mind with a not-so-subtle thump,
And loved to race around the room with a leap and a jump.

She went from just a bunny who flinched at your touch
To a smudge-faced little girl whom we loved very much.

You've left a big hole in our family, and we miss you, "Smudge Pot", but you've left your earthly health problems behind to frolic endlessly in a field of carrots in Heaven above.

God bless you, Mom and Dad

Our Angel Puppy, Megan Angelina Anderson,  
06/20/99 - 10/18/99  
Six weeks was not enough time for you to be with us, loving us and we loving you. We miss you, Honey. We know that you have found you big brother Spencer Forrest and you will be together waiting until the days when we can join you on the other side of the bridge and never be apart again. You gave us more joy while you were with us here. We have memories to help us get through until you run back into our arms again.  
We love you, Honey.....  
Always, Mama & Daddy

Meggie, I'm so sorry I wasn't by your side in your hour of need. So sorry you died alone, in the cold wet darkness with nobody to wish you well on your journey. You were with me for 13 years - through college, marriage, three kids, divorce, and various four legged "intruders." You never made a fuss, and you were always there for me. I only wish I could have been there for you when you needed me the most. Meggie, of all the cats I have known and loved, none has ever held the special place in my heart and in my life that you have and always will. Bless you sweetheart, wait for me - I'll be looking for you when it's my turn.

Beth Walton

Meggie, 50 years would not have satisfied, but I'm grateful for the 7 I had in which to adore you, and you had been around the block when I adopted you!

I still weep when seeing your face in my mind, so intensely dedicated to me, your god. I loved you so. Please wait for me in eternity and let me adore you again, always.

Jeri Harlan

Goodnight my sweet Baybells. I have loved you for almost half my life. I will miss you for the rest of it.

You are with your beloved Bubbies, Tristram, now. Thank you for 19 years of love. And thank you for giving me the time to say goodbye. You had the heart of a tortie until the end.

I love you baby. I will always love you.

Constance (Consta) Jenkins

I had three dogs growing up and had to leave them to find work and live in the United States. One of the most difficult times is when things happen and you cannot be home to comfort the ones you left. Meiko had to be put down tonight after suffering the effects of old age. I am thankful that he had a good life and was always provided for. He was a loving dog who always protected those in the family. I will return to Canada in the spring to lay him to rest in a proper way. I shall miss you my old friend and I am sorry I was not near when you were relieved of your pain.

Love Gregg

MeiLe was the sweetest dog I have ever owned! I grieve so that she was only with us a short while. I miss her terribly, but will hold her in my heart forever. I know there is a Rainbow Bridge, and will see her again.

Susan Schenck

She was the most special of those special cats.

Janelle Church

Our dog was a integral component to our family, and she will be truly missed. Mei Ling was a very intelligent and unique dog, and we fill blessed for the short time we had her in our family. Her memories are everywhere at home, and our grief to her sudden and unexpected death in my wife's arms will continue to be deep. Mei Ling I miss your golden eyes, unconditional love, humor, spirit, and compassion. Farewell my sweet Mei Mei!!!!

C. Childs

Mel, she did not smell. She had a pink collar with 2 bells.  
She only fell a couple of times. She was worth more than a bajillion dimes.  
The reason she went to the rainbow bridge was she was going to the bathroom places that no one was supposed to go. She was  
way to fast and looked like she was starving herself. Mel was 15. She was dearly loved.

Katrina

Thanks Mel for taking such good care of me. I love you and miss you.

Marge Nelson

It's been years Dear Mellie, but your spirit still lives in Daddy and me. You were our precious little tortie cat. I'll never forget the way that you and I would waltz through the house singing our song, I think people thought you and I were crazy, BUT WE KNEW BETTER. You and I shared a special love that no one else could touch. You are sadly missed by your sisters Pippen and Megan, and your Yorkie brother Paddy. We buried you in a special place in the back yard that you loved so much, and it's now a special garden, where I can sit and remember you. When I go outside at night I look up to see the blanket of stars that gently covers your grave, and I know that you sleep warmly, and that someday we will all be together at the Rainbow Bridge. God Bless You Mellie, Love Mom

Carol Hall

Melissa was decidedly the winner in the love department, like it or not, she was there to be my friend and give me attention even if it meant waking me from my sleep. Our walks together in the park had even the remotest of strangers sending bereavement cards when they had heard she passed away. She was the reason the phrase "In your face!!!" was started. She gave everyone a whole lotta love and she was a gift from God and truly appreciated and missed with her sister Ronco who passed away 1-19-99. God bless her and everyone who knew her. Melissa, Ronco and me made a real trio and I'll miss our "three Muskateers!" salute. Love you Melissa.

Sue Scudder

Today when I got home from school, my mom met at the mailbox and she was crying. As I walked home with her she told me my 5 month old Cockatiel, Melody, had died. We all feel very sad and are missing Melody deeply. She was my first bird - I am only 14 years old and I loved her very much.

Ryan Fox

Your family misses you already, but your presence is felt all around.
We will always love you.

Sandra

In memory of a petite black and white who was brought home into a friendly household of other cats and treated as a queen. Our entire family will miss and remember you including CosmoCat, Happy, and Frosty.

Marianne

To our beautiful, smart, warm, loving little feline bitch goddess: We miss you so much. See you in your next incarnation. Love and head rubs, little girl.

Bill and Peggy

He died exactly one year ago today, September 19, 1999.  
Merch was 10 years old when he left us. He had severe kidney disease, and wanted to die. We took him to the vet to have him put down, because it was just too sad to see him in his wilted state. I miss my kitty so much, and this is my way of telling him I love him, even if he can't see it.

Allison Kuchinski

He is everything to me...what more can be said...rest well for now my friend, my companion.
We will meet together at the Bridge when the time is right.

John R Peters

Merlin has gone ahead to be sure he's on hand to greet Stormy....his life long friend. He knows how much she needs him to be there and he was never a selfish one. It won't be long......

Mary & Brett & Scott

Au revoir Merlin, notre ami, et merci pour ton amour. Nous t'oublierons jamais et nous t'aimerons à jamais.

Sylvie et Marc

Merlin was my special friend who was always there to share his enthusiasm and love. I knew that he was always reliable and concerned about me. I will miss his presence, and I will never forget him.

Barbara

Merlin - you were my very first pet, my declaration of growing up and moving away. You saw so much in my life, and shared so many things. You have outlived many of your fursisters and furbrothers, I thought you would live forever. But, of course, this was not to be. Now, after your long life, you go on to your next place, to join my other furbabies that have passed on.  
Tell them that we love them all, and that we will see them down the road.  
Give Sara and Sundae kittie kisses for me, and tell Arthur that you are too big to be dragged around by the ears anymore. Say hi to your buddy Mycroft.  
You will be missed, but not alone where you have gone.  
We love you, Merlin. You were such a special cat.

Michelle and Todd Derbin

A beautiful cat with deep meaningful eyes. Expressed himself with his eyes. Will be missed.

Monica, Gina, Ruthie, Shirley

Merlin, Fat Cat and I miss you more than I can express in words.

Please watch over us, in the good times and bad and we will meet you again someday.

Georgi

To the best friend I ever had -- thanks for adding so much to my life! I miss you very much! I'll see at the Rainbow Bridge!

Hedy B.

To a wonderful friend, who always greeted us with a smile, when we came home. You will be missed greatly, and we will never be able to replace your loving spirit.

Love,
C.W. and family

In loving memory of my best friend. Good bye Merl, we will miss you greatly.

Debbie

Merlin, I miss you so much. I'm so sorry, I feel terribly that this happened to you. I wish I could bring you back.

Susan Williams

Merlyn (The Magnificent), not the first dog we ever owned, and certainly not the last, but he came into our lives and became such a part of our hearts, that the tears at his passing flow just as freely today as they did 2 years ago.  
Merlyn was everything: conformation & obedience champion, beloved pet, reliable babysitter, guardian, teacher, friend and the warmest fur to curl up against on a winter's night.  
Merlyn's half-sister, Princess, (3 yrs younger)felt his loss so strongly, she joined him at the Bridge 3 weeks later.  
Everyone who saw him, admired him; everyone who knew him, loved him. Merlyn was the first of 6 collies who make up a big part of our furfamily. 4 still remain, along with Simba The Cat and Luna, a 6 month old white shephard pup. Good Night, Sweet Prince!

Shari deBeauclair

Eve, we will always remember you for your merry and affectionate ways. Thank you for loving people and ADORING Kelly. You were a great companion, guarding each of us and our home faithfully. We miss you very much and are thankful for our memories of you. God bless you and all beagles like you.

The Bechtol Family

You were ever loving, ever comforting  
to any animal or human who came your way  
Your eyes were trusting, always gentle  
You brought joy to each day

Your uniqueness was ever apparent  
Your love unending and everlasting  
Many will remember you  
and forever mourn your passing

I will meet with you again someday  
Our family will again be whole  
I will love you always  
my gentle, loving feline soul

Jennifer G

Dear Mew Mew, I miss you. It's not the same without in my arms. Your sisters and brothers are doing their best to make me feel better. I have your picture on the wall by my bed and I look at you all the time. I don't know if you hear me when I call out your name at night. I wonder if you're still around in spirit. I can't wait to see you again. There will never be another cat like you. I love you.

Signed, Mommy

Forever in our hearts

John and Eva

Dear Mia,
Thank you for saving me. I now know why you came into my life. I will never forget you or the ultimate sacrifice you made for me. I will always love you and feel your strength.

Amanda May

Mia, my chubby baby, my companion, my girl. You were meant to be ours before you were born. It was love at first sight and I know you felt the same way!  
Whatever will I do without you? We connected in a way that cannot be explained in human terms. We could tell what each other was thinking, feeling, wanting. You filled so many needs, always being there for me. I loved you more than I could ever begin to express in words.  
You know my heart and you know that Saturday was the hardest day of my life. You also knew even before I did that I was going to have to make that decision for you. I'm still having second thoughts Mia, and want to turn back the clock. But, I also know that I could not see you suffer. You gave me more than 100% of your love, so unselfishly and now I had to do the same for you. As hard as it is, I know you went without the pain that would have shortly ravaged your body. I remember it all too well.  
You are missed by all who knew and loved you my girl. You had your own way of running the household and let everyone know in no uncertain terms, you were the boss. Max learned it early, from the day you walked in the house and took over the ear cleaning duty. And, all the new babies were taught the rules of the house Mia style right away, so there were no excuses!! They miss you so Mia.  
I know you were welcomed to the Bridge by some very familiar faces. I'm glad you had them there to greet you. Please tell Bart and Betsy that I think of them everyday and love them very much. And, give that Jakie a big wet kiss from Paula. (the kind that only you can give!)  
There will never be a day Mia, that I won't think of you. The love I have for you will never go away. You left me so much through your antics, personality and love and I know that in time the wonderful memories will be what gets me through. You could make me smile in a way that only you could!  
Tonight is your night Mia. There are many candles being lit, prayers being said and love being sent because of the love and joy you gave to so many. You never knew a stranger.  
Mia, remember us, because we will never forget you. You'll always be my chubby little girl!  
From deep within my heart, I send all my love to you,  
Mom  
(Candee)  
also missed dearly by Jim, Mia's Dad, Max, Micki, Butt, Bernie and Lupo (Mia's brothers and sisters) and Jason, Mindy and Michael (Mia's human family)  
PS- Paula, Neal, your Mom, Sunshine, and brothers Bubba and the Murph send all their love and prayers too.

Micha, my sweet little Micha... oh how I miss you already... You have no more pain my sweet and I will remember you always... I miss you most at night, when I turn my head on the pillow next to mine and you're not there anymore... :( Love you my Michachoo darling and no other will ever be like you.

Anne Theoret

Michelobe, From the time I saw you when you were put in my car on Halloween night as a joke, I knew you were special. You were so loveable and had such personality, I knew I would keep you. You were a big cat, 24 pounds, just ate and slept. You loved to get on my lap on the couch and cuddle on your Cooper blanket, everytime I covered up w/it, you were there needing your claws gently into me, purring loudly. You were so big that you couldn't scratch yourself. When I scratched you, you licked yourself under your chin and around your front legs, purring at the top of your voice. There wasn't a mean bone in your body. You were a very clean cat, never had any accidents in the house. When company came, you would crawl head first into your box on your towel and go to sleep till they left. One night you got left outside by mistake, Keith had let you out and didn't tell me. The next morning I missed you when I got up, you didn't come upstairs to meet me howling for food. When I found you in under the front porch, you came running! It took you over a year before you would set foot outside again. Then when you got the blockage in your large intestine & had to have surgery to remove it, the vet gave up on you after 9 days there & sent you home to die in peace. You had a full year after that & then got a blockage again, surgery would just left you w/more paralysis, so I did what was best for you. I put you to sleep in my arms. It was so hard to do, you were such a great cat and my friend, but you needed peace. I know I will never have another cat, you spoiled me rotten by being so good. I miss you so much, especially when I get up in the morning, come home after being gone, when you're not trying to get on my lap while I'm on the puter, and when I lay or sit down on the couch. I find myself looking for you when I don't see you. You gave me so much love and understanding it is unreal. Michelobe-I love and miss you so much! You will be with me always, and thank you for all you gave me. You were a cat in a million and asked for nothing but love in return, which I gladly gave. You were beautiful Michelobe, and no cat could ever take your place! Till we meet again Michelobe, I love you and miss you so. I thank you for these 9 1/2 yrs you gave to me w/no question, I know you knew how much you meant to me. You were one in a million. Thank you for giving me so much!

Pam Learn

Michiko was adopted from a shelter but we later traced her roots. She was a show quality akita. We had her spayed and she was a wonderful pet for almost 14 years. She was totally committed to our family and will be greatly missed by all of us.

Jan Bangert

I found Mick several years ago with a friend. He was a little scrawny thing giving the Kitty Distress Signal from under a car in parking lot. My friend and I, of course looked at each other with great concern and fell to our knees beside the car, trying to coax him out. He would not come to us, although he would ravenously eat some food we pushed over to him. He eventually followed my friend's cat into her apartment, where we discovered that beneath a pretty rough exterior (bald spots, chronic runny nose, dirt) was a very sweet personality. Two things were quickly established. The first was his name. Mick named himself, as he very politely and almost silently meowed at us. When he opened his mouth, a small subtle "Mmm" was heard, followed by a largely silent meow, ending always with a very distinct "K". Thus: "Mick." Secondly, due to Mick's continually running nose, his desire to give us head bumps was often met by the person jerking their face out of the way, causing him to be presented with just the underside of a chin. Mick then assumed that obviously the strange new people preferred to be bumped on the chin. He forever gave up the normal kitty head knocks in favor of a good firm nudge to the jaw. My friend and I shared joint custody of Mick for a while, but he ended up full time with me. I had reservations. My other cat had been an only child for some time, and I did not think he would share well. As it turned out, Mick was so grateful and happy to be inside, that he never challenged or pushed. He was the ideal second cat, under the circumstances.

I had just finished reading "The Little Prince" again when Mick moved in. He always had a slightly otherworldly and wise air that made me identify him strongly with the title character. Mick absolutely exuded delight and love to everyone. In addition to immediately adoring anyone he had just met, Mick developed sort of a crush on my dog, Griffon. Mick would follow him adoringly, rubbing around his legs. Griffon was rather oblivious to this, but would often smell Mick with great vigor and interest, delighting Mick. He seemed to feel that Griffon was perhaps washing him at these times, and would often flop to the floor and turn his stomach up. Another cold evening, I arrived home to find Griffon coming out of his doghouse to greet me, followed shortly after by a small white form stretching sleepily in the door of the dog house.

Mick was a sweet, sweet soul who wished to be remembered also for his fierce grasshopper hunting skills and a vicious right hook. When it came to people's hearts, he took no prisoners. He had a strong, amazing life force that allowed him to deal with his frailties as long as he did. I really felt for the last several months his love for me (and of course his dog) kept him going.

The bittersweetness in reading The Little Prince is that we know he can't stay forever, and has to go back to where he is needed. And that is what I am dealing with in remembering Mick. Dealing with his illness has brought some valuable lessons in love and focusing on the moment. It is so seldom that we meet a person or animal who radiates the joy and love Mick did. If you never met Mick, I hope you enjoy his story, and if you did know him, please remember his sweet little face scrunched up in a cat smile. It was his most common expression.

Shannon

My baby boy came into my life when he was 3 weeks old. Since he was so young I took care of all his needs and was his surrogate mom. He grew into a huge loving Moma's boy who liked to put both paws around my neck to give me hugs and kiss my ears. Mickey and I fought his kidney disease together with a passion. We were winning the battle but, in the end it was Cancer we did not know he had that ended his precious life. When Mickey decided it was time he let me know. It was the hardest decision I have had to make in my adult life, his pain and suffering ended that day. The hole in my heart and in my life feels so big I don't know how it will ever be filled. The pain of his loss feels like it will never lessen. I know he is in a better place looking down at me saying; I love you Mommy, don't cry, we will see each other again.
Mommy loves you baby.
In Loving Memory of Mickey February 1, 1978 - November 12, 1999

Goodbye to my best friend and constant companion of 19 years. I will always love you.

Ellen Patnode

Mickey, I will miss you so much. So will your fellow bunny friends Peter and Rocky. Always remember, you were my first choice. I love you.

Nicole Bennett

Mickey was my best friend and I had him since I was 5. To anyone who ever grew up with a pet and then to see them die is an immeasurable loss. God bless Mickey and anyone who has gone through this loss,

Lisa Lemanowicz

Mickey doodles as you were so fondly called was the love of our life, there will never be another baby like you.  
You would be there every time someone went to another room just to see and to make sure that everyone was ok. No adult could ever raise their hand to another child while you were around. You were the king of the house. Daddy's dog but I know you loved momma too, you just loved to get kisses from mom (momma germs as it was called) you were the first to know when a bulldog was coming into heat and needed to be bred, and you first love a red English bulldog named Izabella. Oh the first day we saw you at the flea market we fell head over heals in love with you, and to this day I miss you more and more every day, I miss the slobber the cute little way you kissed me the way you moved your tail. One day I will meet you at the bridge and I will bring you a big pig ear and kiss you all up.

Love momma and daddy

To My Dear Friend Mickey "Meatball".....Your absence from our everyday lives will hurt. We always looked forward to your arrival to work every morning with your Mom, Dr. Horne. You always headed straight for your "office" with the exception of the times your saw me on your way in..then you always stopped for your "Meatball" of cat food...sitting and smiling before you received your reward! You amazed us each day with your uncanny ability to know when it was time to go to lunch and time to go home at night..again stopping for your "Meatball" before going home! You were a special light in my life for the 9 years I knew you. I cherish my memories of you, Mick-man, and hope you and Anne will someday meet again...at the Rainbow Bridge. Farewell, fuzzy friend! ...Patty

Peacefully sleep comes to a dear, beloved heart.
Quietly we understand the time has come to part.
Tenderly, the love shines on - a never-ending light.
Gratefully, we feel its warmth and say, sweet dreams my friend, good-night.

I love you Mick ~

Julie Wilson

You were the best dog, we will miss you always. You lived to be 18 years old we loved you more each year you were with us.

Jack Carter

A special friend, a true member of our family. He was a black w/ white paws and facing. Weighed 17 pounds and earned the name fat bastard honestly. Missed greatly and now looking for a new pal because now we know what kind of cat and special characteristics the maine coon have. To our pal with love

Tim & Echo Lynn Stringer

Mickey, who fought so bravely for her life and lost. A four-pound Yorkie, she was viciously murdered by a sixty-pound dog whose owner was walking him off his leash. Thank God she died quickly. Thank God she'll be waiting for me in heaven when I get there. I love you, Mickey.

Jennifer Phillips

Mickey, you were the best dog we could have. We miss you terribly and hope that you will be there to greet us when its our time to go. Time with you was to short. I hope you know who much we loved you and how much joy and happiness you gave us for those 8 years. Wish you were here and we will never forget you. Mom and dad

Mickey
To my faithful dog that was always by my side or laying at my feet. You changed our lives when you came into it. I miss you so much, I miss our walks together and the happiness you brought me. You made me laugh and smile. Your warm furry body taking naps with me was such joy. I miss you so much your deep love and devotion, you were always with me. You went everywhere with us and made our trips enjoyable. The motor home will not be the same, for we bought it for you, so you could go with us. You were so full of life. You never said a word to me but I always new what you wanted. I really would like to hold you just one more time, and for you to meet me at the door when I come home. I will never forget you, see you at the Rainbow Bridge. Love always, Your Mom, Denise

I would like to pay tribute to my sister, Mickey. She brought endless amounts of joy and happiness to me and my family. I cannot think of something profound to say, except that she was my friend and I don't think I could ever say anything that could properly express my love for her. I feel very empty right now and I miss her terribly. I know that Mickey is in heaven with our other family members, all dog lovers who would welcome Mickey into their arms. Rest, Mickey, and be happy.

Rene Maeda

May God keep her in his arms and in heart because that is where she always kept us. We love her and miss her Her family

Brenda

Micki came into my life in 1986 not long after I lost my Mother. She was so sweet and angelic, I swore she was sent by her from heaven to me. Micki loved cats, especially kittens and would tremble with excitement any time she encountered one. Chew toys that squeaked, "bowing," jumping up and licking your face and zamming madly around the room, were among her hobbies. But her most favorite thing of all was climbing into bed with you at night, under the covers next to you with her head on the pillow. She could never get close enough to you. In the last couple of months before she became so ill, she became oddly even more happy and even more affectionate than she already was. When I'd arrive home she would bark with joy and would throw in a couple of extra singsong notes. This was something she hadn't done since she was a puppy. While I suspected it at the time, I now look back and know, like humans near death, that she was starting to receive visits from my deceased Dad. She had not acted like this since his death 5 years ago. When he fell, alone at home, she stayed by his side until help arrived. While he was ill and drifting in and out of consciousness in the hospital, he would call for her. This past Thursday she was finally able to run home to him.

Micki has been a member of our family longer than our children. She is loved and will be sorely missed, but we know her pain is over and she is running happily over the Rainbow Bridge.

Larry, Sherri, Joey and Bethany Stamm

I miss you so very much and see you everywhere I look.
Say hello to Patches. I love you.

Merle

I still remember the day in 1986, my freshman year of college when my brother called to tell me that our family dog was not going to make it through the night. I was heartbroken and even offered to make a special trip home to be with the family. Not too long after we said goodbye to Duke, I got a call from my dad that he found a little dog that needed a loving home and he was sending me pictures of her. Her name was Midget, and last night I rooted through old keepsakes and located my scrapbook from my first year in college and found the two pictures my dad sent me of that tiny, sweet Dalmatian puppy and himself. I was so excited to meet her, and had no idea at that time how much she would change our lives...
This is her story...

Midget came to us an abused dog with no home, through a groomer friend of ours. She was so shy and withdrawn that at first she would only relate to my dad. He had to bring her food to her for her to eat it, and she only stayed in one of two corners in the house. It was so sad, but we knew that she had a lot of love in her heart...and we loved her so much in such a short time that we just knew she was a new member of our family, despite her apparent flaws. We never even heard her bark until after years of having her, and she slowly withdrew from her shell of isolation and warmed up to everyone in the family. She was still always afraid of outsiders and we knew that whoever had inflicted the abuse on her as a puppy was truly as inhumane as they come. She cowered away from strangers and loud people in fright until she would see that my dad or one of us was okay with the person. Our back yard was her second favorite place (first was being right next to my dad), in her younger years. She would tear through the yard (and sometimes the house) so fast you could see the dust fly. We always said she must have some greyhound in her because of her speed. As she got older, and developed many health problems, arthritis kept her from the joyous running that she so loved. The arthritis never let up and countless other problems developed, some unknown even due to the abuse she suffered before she came to us. In her final days she was so sick due to stomach and liver problems, and could hardly move from the pain of the arthritis, that eating drinking and relieving herself became too much for her. My father had to make a difficult decision, made even harder since my mom was (and is) in the hospital during all this. I was there and held Midget it my arms, the way I used to when she was our new "baby" and it was so hard, saying goodbye. She was our beloved family member in every sense of the word, and my father's ever faithful companion. She is so loved and missed.

He was my little angel and will be deeply missed.

Midnight,
I can still hear you pulling your water bowl closer and fill your paws on my face when I sleep. I know you will forever look over me.

Until we're together again,

Robin

Midnight is the best friend I ever had or ever will have. I love her and miss her dearly. I will love her forever and ever.

Chris Schaumann

Girlfriend-dog Midi, who was found as a scrappy young South Boston street dog. You had a great life as an Ohio farm dog and ended your days as a New Hampshire forest dog who swam in lakes, ponds, streams. You hot ticket! You gave us so much. Thank you Lord for bringing me this special creature, and that you let me take care of her for all of her life. Someday I will see you again, girl. Dry yourself in the sun after your swims!

Nancy Murray

There was never a pet as loved or as loving as Midnight. He came to me on a day below zero as a tiny puppy. We knew not where he came from, only that God led us to each other. We shared times good and bad, work and play, and time to just be together and love each other. While I was gone one day, someone entered our yard and poisoned my greatest friend through the fence. I arrived home in time not to help save him, but to share a few last minutes together. He died as I held and loved him. God now has the best friend he ever created-my beloved Midnight. I miss him terribly.
If only my tears could bring him back. Midnight, I love you.

Tom Busby

Just a really good boy. He was a strong, beautiful, independent hobo cat that lived with us when he felt like it. He always had a home with us and still does.

Kirsten Caspersen

Midnite was a stray kitty that the employees at G. Aviation at Palm Beach, Florida Airport had taken in. She drowned Friday night during Hurricane Irene. Midnite will be missed by the ones who gave her the food, love and attention she so much needed and deserved. My name is Chanie, I didn't know Midnite but I thought it would be nice to make a tribute for her, to let her know she will not be forgotten.

Pure black with shades of white beneath the surface, beautiful and sexy, and sweet beyond words. We found our special gift outside the apartment on June 15th, 1985. Sitting and waiting for a loving home, she was our gift from heaven.

We took her in and cleaned her up and fed her. We named her Midnite Satin because of her silky, luxurious coat. Her disposition was amazingly sweet and feminine. We introduced her to her new brother and sister; both of whom were pure white and long-haired. They were quite a trio, a site to behold. Her brother Lucky was extraordinary in his own right, extra large (all-muscle), aware, wise, and intelligent. Lucky passed several years ago and I'm sure he was waiting for Middy at the Rainbow Bridge; where she probably sneaked by him and then swatted his behind and ran. Lucky has his own story that will be separate from this one. Middy's sister Angel is still with us, thank g*d, but she is visibly shaken by her sister's passing. They all got along like most brothers and sisters, teasing and playing and loving each other very much. They were close as can be and will someday be all together again; along with there loving owners.

Mitzy (we had many nicknames for her) was a quiet one, only meowing when she needed to communicate, which usually meant mealtime! She would wait patiently, but when she was really hungry she let us know, and not with a typical meow. Her voice was very high-pitched, sounding more like a squeak then a meow; one of her many special traits.

We did not know what Middy's life was like before we found her, but we feared it was not a loving one, as she seemed a bit on edge, weary of loud noises, and easily spooked. She calmed down after a while, and accepted the loving comfort of her new family, but always retained her streetwise weariness.

We shared many special moments together, Middy, her sister Angel, brother Lucky, mommy Margie, uncle Billy and uncle Bobby, and other family members (Slinky, Koko). She was a sight to behold, truly breathtaking. Giant emerald green eyes and a unique beauty that was must have been the result of her uncommon breeding (probably Himalayan and Persian). When she sat she would always keep her arms perfectly symmetrical and tight together, so feminine. She loved being 'gotten', thoroughly petted on one side then rolled over for more petting on the other side. Her purr was low but strong, she just loved it! Her specialty - being picked up and hugged tight and then flipped backward, slowly, for a perfect landing facing you. And she was quite a runner and jumper! When her brother would sneak up on her she'd jump straight up almost five feet high! Although she had short legs, she was very fast, up and down the stairs in a glide rather than a run.

Midnite led a happy life; her secret? - be sweet, cute, nice and patient to get what you want; it always worked for her! Just as Middy was a rarity, the natural causes that led her to the Rainbow Bridge were also quite rare. Midnight was 14 when she suddenly passed due to a rare form of cancer; a cancer that was not detectable via normal check-up procedures.

Middy's sister Angel misses her terribly, as we all do, but she knows she is loved and will use that as strength to stay around for hopefully a long time to come. We miss her beyond words but take solace in the fact that we will see her again, arms tight together, big eyes beaming, waiting at the forefront of the Rainbow Bridge with her siblings.

Margie, Robert, and William Cohan

Mieka was my best friend. Although I have many other four-legged friends, we had a very special bond. We still do. I think of her every day and sometimes I am sad, other times I am just so grateful to have known that kind of love. What a little bundle of energy she was when I brought her home. She stole the hearts of every one that met her. It is amazing how many lives she touched. Many people that would never own a useless little "mop" now have at least one of her puppies or the same breed. They ALL blame that "snoring " bundle of joy. As I write this, the tears appear and I realize again how very much I miss my "Little Princess".

Miesje

A little character who was taken back too soon,

Emma Findlay

Mikasa was the most special pet in my life. He was 15 years old. When I would blow him a kiss he would meow and come to me. He loved me unconditionally and I him. He had the biggest beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen. No pet will ever be able to replace him.

Vicki

To Mike,

Your passing was so sudden and unexpected. It was so hard losing you like that. Now, Emily has come to join you. I hope that both of you are together and playing together as you did here. We will always love you and miss you.

Your family

Mike, you were one of my best friends. I am sorry that your last 2 days were not good ones. I will miss you. If there was anything I could have done, I would have done it. I miss you so much, already. When you looked at me, I knew LOVE.

Love, Ma

She was a special friend, a wonderful companion, and a loyal guardian.
She will be deeply missed by all of us.

Our darling beautiful dog gave us so much love and happiness and we miss him so much.

We wish he could have been with us for longer but are happy that his suffering is now over.

He will live in our hearts always.

Michael Andrew Ward

My Mikey,

I can't believe that it's already been 4 months since I've seen your goofy face. I miss you so much. Thank you for being such a good pal. I miss seeing you sleeping in your chair. Allie sleeps there now but it's still YOUR chair.

What I wouldn't give to put my arms around your neck once more, to feel you lean against me, to take you for a walk.

I'll be good Mike so I can see you in heaven.

I love you.

J. Bunn

I treasure all the happy memories I have of my Mikey and always will

Fran and Wendy

On January 30, 1984, a little male Yorkshire terrier was born. He was two days old when I saw him and it was love at first sight. He was very unique from the start. God had decided to make him a little different and he was born with three legs. He was missing part of his right front leg. That minor affliction made no difference in Mikey's long and loving journey through life. Mikey was my sunshine, for fifteen years I was blessed with wonderful little dog. Mikey was beautiful and so full of life, even though much sickness plagued him for many years. He was always receptive of the care his doctors gave him, not once trying to bite any of them. On March 5, 1999, Mikey's condition which was just on the verge of suffering, made it time to make that dreaded decision. With the loving care of both his vets and Mikey in my arms it was time to let him go be with all the other good dogs so he could run and play again. Through all the pain I'm feeling, I remember that smiling face and wonderful disposition and I will never forget the happiness he brought me. I miss him beyond comprehension. Mikey was indeed MY SUNSHINE AND THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE. I thank God for the privilege of having Mikey for so many years.

Mikita,

It's now been six months since you passing, and there isn't a day that passes that I don't think of you.

I wake up each morning and still look for you by my side, but now all I have is the memory of you, and I will hold that near to me for ever. I still remember your smiling face with your favorite stuffed toy, and that toy is still here, along with your picture and my memories.

The memories of you will never fade, nor will my love for you. I miss you, but I know that you are in a better place, and until we are together again, this tribute will keep you close.

I miss you......you are still my best friend!

Darrell

The best tribute I can pay you is to pass on what you taught me.

Pete Grady

Milady --- you were always a polite, refined, wonderful companion. I could take you anywhere and be so very proud of the elegant way you adapted to any situation without complaint. I truly feel as if I have lost a part of myself. You will always be remembered with much love and admiration as a most treasured friend..

Darlene Schideman

Millie, You were my best friend and I shall miss you deeply. I know that you are in a better place now. I will always love you and thank you for being there whenever I needed you. I don't know how I will make it without you. God Bless you, Millie, and rest peacefully. I love you Jane

Jane

You were a special cat that loved so many and enjoyed being loved.
You are missed by all that knew you

Scott and Karen Migaldi

I loved her more than my own life, I would have given it to her, to save her, for her to be here. This, I cannot bear any longer.

DeAnn Collins

Milo was the best dog anyone could have asked for, and his passing was a devastating event in our lives. The tragic day that our little dog was shot to death by the accidental firing of a pistol will always strike pain to our memories.

However we will remember with joy the moments of happiness shared in his life. How Milo loved to play in the water, and swim. The way he chased squirrels in the backyard relentlessly. Playing with his beloved ball. Wearing his little doggy life jacket in the boat. Just curling up with a family member in the bed or on the couch. He was always so glad to see someone come home and talk to him. Milo was the most friendly and loving dog anyone could ask for. There are so many more unspoken memories of joy that will cover my mind.

Milo is in heaven now, with all the water he could ask for, no more allergies, squirrels he can chase to his heart's content, and a thousand trees to leave a little something behind on. God now has with him one of the sweetest dogs he ever made. He could run the earth, and swim the waters, as he so often loved to do. But now, Milo can also fly.

Little Buddy, we miss you, but know that you will be completely happy where you are now. We will all see you someday crossing that rainbow bridge, and until then, know that we love you more than words can express.

We Love you Milo!

Love: Daddy, Mommy, Bryan, Amy, your buddy Mandy, and Smokie

I am sorry I wasn't there when you went to the bridge. I still miss you.

Karen Kastler

Milo was a shelter dog. His puppy life was lonely and stark. He came to us a bundle of energy and chewed everything in sight, but as he grew accustomed to us and our household, his energy became more of an incredible enthusiasm for everything and everyone in his life. He encouraged us all to be more dog like in our own lives - singing simply for the cacophony of sounds and the love of our joined voices, taking in the sights and sounds of every day life because they are wondrous in their own right, and acknowledging each other through all of our senses.

Milo's short life came to a tragic end last Friday. Our family is suffering the shock and pain of loosing a member. He was a beloved pet, a loving friend, and he is sorely missed by the adults, children, cats and other pets, and the entire neighborhood who knew and loved his happy-go-lucky manner. I am sure he is waiting at the bridge for us, and I'm equally sure that he is busy making friends and welcoming all who join him.

Linda

Mimi was a good hamster and she meant a lot to me. She tried really hard to hang on for the two weeks that she was sick. When I would feed her by hand and give her water, she would try to eat as much as she could. She seemed to be feeling better, but when my Mom went in to check her, she was gone. I put her in her little house and buried her with her toy bus in our backyard. I miss her.

Nicolette Shepherd

You were a faithful and dear friend, who loved unconditionally. Thank you for all the years of pleasure. I will always miss you.

Jill Lhotka

We will always remember you Mindy. The way you loved to chase bubbles and pop them, and your love for Hagen Daz Ice Cream (even though it was bad for you) and how you loved to chase balls in the driveway. You will be greatly missed and always in our hearts and memories.

Mariellen, Joel, Amber & Ashley

Mindy We only had you for a short lifetime but you gave us love ,joy and many wonderful memories. You were one in a million and brought joy to all who were fond of you.Our hearts are broken ,we will miss your wonderful presence.

Walt & Flora Yarnall

Mindy was a precious little poodle abused by her former owner--who had had a baby--and couldn't understand the little dogs jealousy over it. Her spouse took to beating Mindy with a broom and she spent her days cowering under the bed. She was sold to us for an exorbitant fee, which we didn't care about; just wanted to get her out of the situation she was in. I got her when she was two years old, and she lived with me for another fourteen years. I loved Mindy--the poor little thing was so high strung and scared when we got her and never lost her fear of brooms or anything with a long handle. She would curl up on my lap and love to be cuddled and hugged. Her former owner had the nerve to ask for visitation rights; I refused---could not put Mindy through that; she would have thought she was going back to her former home which would have been cruel. I told this person as much. Mindy never lost her nervousness, but I know she loved me and when she died, I felt guilt at not having done enough to keep her alive longer, even though she was sixteen. She did not deserve to go through the hell she went through with those awful people. Mindy, I believe you are with SHeba, Suzy, Sabrina at the Rainbow Bridge, and mommy cannot wait for the day to come when she can be there with you all. I hate living without you my special little "kids". Mommy will be there soon. Just wait for me.
Love, Mommy

When I get home each day, I have always had Mindy to greet me. She was my pride and joy; without her I will have lost a part of my family. The tears may flow, but I know she has found peace. I feel a special bond between 19 year old Mindy and myself will continue, and I know in my heart that we will never forget one another.

Aaron J. Biterman

To Our Sweetest Little Mindy. Words can not say how much we are going to miss you. Our hearts ache. Thank you for bringing such joy to our life. For being a good and wonderful dog and one day Mindy, we hope to see you in heaven. We will never forget you and we will always love you. Goodbye Little Me Ha, Squeak squeak of squeaking squeak. Love Always Daddy, Mommy, Christian & Justin :(

Our precious angel baby. We miss you more than words can ever express. You made this house a home and now it is so empty, lonely, and sad. We thank you for the unconditional love you were always so willing to give us. What wonderful memories we have. We were truly blessed to have had the opportunity to share such a wonderful love with you. You will be forever in hearts. As we have always said... "You were a true gift from God". We will go on, but will be looking forward to seeing you again at the Rainbow Bridge. Love Always, Mommy and Daddy

In memory of these poor babies who were devoted friends. I did not know them well, but loved them dearly.

Gael (cats belonged to Paul-a friend)

Ming...The King of the Pride...The most beautiful and intelligent little furball that has ever owned us! And sooooo loving!! What a Guy!! We miss you Ming, but we will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge. Love, Mom, Dad, Paws, Itty Bitty KoKo and Great Big Bear

Marlene Wyld

NO ONE will ever take your place. After 3 years I still cannot bear to see a small blonde dog without dissolving into tears. I miss you desperately, but know one day you will come running into my arms again!

Miriam Russell

He life was so very short, but, oh he was so alive!!! He was my heart and soul.....I'll love you forever, baby boy.

Bev & Steve

Min, You were my special, pretty girl. I miss you so much already, but I know your pain & suffering is done, that you are in a better place now. This is my peace of mind, the only one. I will never forget you Min, you were a good girl. I also know I did everything I could for you, but I couldn't help you anymore w/out causing you more pain & suffering. I know you are w/Bodie now, romping free & enjoying each other as before he passed. I am so glad Mitch was here this weekend, he was your favorite, you were his also. I am thankful for that last time you had together. Just always remember how much I loved & cared for you girl. You were my special girl. Now you are at peace, that's the last thing I could do for you. Someday we will meet again at the Bridge, til then-I love you pretty girl, always will. I will never forget the unconditional love you gave, or you. For that love I am thankful, for the years we had-I am thankful. Til we meet again, take care & remember me as I remember you. Love ya Min, Pam

I rescued you at age 9. Although I work in the veterinary field it does not make this any easier. You were the sweetest dog I have ever laid eyes on. I am sorry I could not take away the cancer or fix your tiring body. Up until yesterday you were a mooch for food and came with me everywhere. You even greeted new clients with a sloppy kiss. I would never change a thing of these five years of happiness with you. You were the best. I know that you are in a better place and feel no pain. But I am here with a broken heart. I love you and I miss you. My face was the thing that you saw today kissing you goodbye. And I feel some comfort knowing that your face will be the first blessed face I see in heaven. You are an angel.

Aimee Lamberson

After a 1 year battle with diabetes Minou was put to sleep at the clinic where I work by myself and my close friend and vet. She had a long life yet it was hard for me to let her go.

Miss. C. Stemler

Mip, a little Maltese dog was dearly loved by Keith, Margaret and Bela, her cat friend. Mip showed an extraordinary sense of "family" and we went practically everywhere together. It never ceased to amaze us how God could pack so much love, fun and intelligence, into so small a package.  
We miss her.

She gave us joy, she gave us love,  
Her faithfulness came from Above.

Keith Relf

In memory of our loving cat of 16 years. She will be much missed but not forgotten. We raised her from a kitten. She was born to one of our cats. Her mother passed away a year ago. Both are missed but are in our hearts. Today has been hard but I know that she and her mother and the other cats we have had are on the other side of the Rainbow bridge waiting.

Patsy

Mirage (Ru-Ru) as we called him was a cat we were blessed with through a rescue. He was a sad scared boy when we got him. Sadly he never got over that. We showed him all the love we could and finally two months ago for the first time with us he purred. I rejoiced! He died from a congenital heart problem that we knew nothing about. Now, he is whole and happy and purring up a storm; he's waiting for all of us to join him. He will be missed.  
We love you Ru-Ru

Mommy Daddy and all the other critters

Randi was a true and special little girl in my life. She took almost every step with me for all of her life. I left her one night to go to church and when I came home she was gone. She stood with me through some of the toughest years of my life and was always there for me, with a nudge of her nose to be petted, soothing me as much or more than her. She even put up with the introduction of another dog 3 years ago and even accepted the arrogant Springer spaniel puppy and eventually became fast friends with Sadie. Now Sadie roams the houses crying looking for Randi. I've had several spaniels, but none will ever compare to my Miranda.

Sara Carey

Mallory, You truly were a golden angel that blessed our lives with your presence. Every moment spent is a precious memory to all of us who knew and loved you. The words do not come as easily as the tears, but I know we are all better for having had the privilege of sharing our lives with you. This is too difficult a thing to write now....just know we will play ball, tag, cuddle, and share hugs and kisses again someday. We all truly do love you.....

Kelly Caldwell

My dearest Mischa, not a day goes by that I do not miss you and as the first Christmas without you approaches, I have a heavy heart. Your stocking will remain empty this year. I know you look in on me tho, and I appreciate it. I love you Mischa Keesha- Love Mommy

I miss you so much, Mishy. Thanks for all the wonderful years, Mommy, John and Dani.

In memory of our loving and beloved Mischief: Though we're grieving for her, Lord, now that she's gone, she's crossed over the bridge, welcomed into your arms. She passed into heaven through God's doggy door; she'll again now be young, with pain nevermore. She's with Pokey and Lady, and Dee Dee, their mom, and Happy and Daisy, who've already gone. Till we, to, pass through those pearly gates, at the rainbow bridge, they'll patiently wait.

Ginny Burdick - for Ward and Connie Stoner

Misfit adopted me 16 years ago. She taught me about unconditional love, boundaries, and friendship. She is now teaching me how to say goodbye.

I miss her so much, especially at night. She considered it her "job" to stay with me until I fell asleep. She did her job very well.

Thank you Misfit for loving this perfectly imperfect human, and teaching me so many heartfelt lessons about life, and now death.

DeeDee Lahey

In memory of my most beloved cat, Misha. (July 1982-September 1999) From the first day I held you 17 years ago as a tiny kitten, I loved you beyond measure. You changed my life forever; because of you I became an animal activist, a vegetarian, a rescuer of strays and a shelter volunteer. You died in my arms as you had to and I hope my voice and my love were your final memories. I will always love you and I know you loved me. I miss you terribly.

Rhoda M. Karp

My cat dies of cancer...let him rest in peace

Emily

Misha was a very loved dog, very intelligent and very loyal. She never questioned what was expected of her and gave us all unconditional love. Her best friend is our other dog, Merlot who misses her terribly. She was too young to have to die, but had a back injury that left her unable to walk and participate in her usual life. It was hard to have her put to sleep, but she was in incredible pain and it was even harder to see her suffer. She will be terribly missed and never replaced in our hearts. Misha, we all love you and hope you have found a happier, painfree place to watch over us.

Lynn, Kipp, Shelby & her best friend Merlot

Misha was only with us for four short months, but she was the sweetest and gentlest dog anyone could ever want. She was so happy to see us every day and brought a tremendous amount of love and joy into our lives. We will miss her very much and the long walks on the beach we used to take with her. We hope she is very happy in heaven.

Stephen and Dollar Weidner

Misha, when I had nothing, I had you.
Now I have everything and it means nothing without you.

Christine

My Dearest Mishinka,
Please rest in peace, and know that we will be together sometime once again. In the meantime, stretch and feel safe wherever you are, my dear boy. I am assured that you are out of harm's way and that I do not have to leave this planet for us to feel close to one another. I still feel you right here: do you not me?? Yes, I know you do! (What a silly question, my dear CIA boy!) MISHA, YOU KNOW EVERYTHING. Yes, everything. . . And you love me, nevertheless. I miss you so much! Thank you for arranging for me to have Katya, and I do love her, indeed, but Mishka, there can NEVER be a replacement for YOU!! Katya is sweet, and she misses you so much, too, and I am slowly developing a bond with her, based upon your teachings of patience, kindness, tolerance, forgiveness -- and of LOVE. I didn't know love until I knew you -- thank you, my dearest Mishinka, for being the first to introduce me to the True Meaning of Love. . .

Tammy

Dear Meesee:

I hope you chase all the tennis balls you can handle at Rainbow Bridge. I will miss your sweet face and kisses. I know that you are free and whole again with no suffering. I'll see you again one day.

Love, Laurie

Mishu was the dearest dog. She knew how to take care of her humans. She loved to eat, talk, love and sleep. She is a guardian angel dog now. Mishu, we will love you forever.

Joni & Eric

After 17 years of your loving companionship the loss of you is a heartbreak. Well done, dear and faithful friend.

MISS BOO'S DOE

Miss Boo is an Almost. . . you know . . . the Dog Pound Variety. Rumor has it that there is a touch of Poodle and a smidgen of Cocker somewhere in the woodpile. She is about as big as a minute: 14" long and 10" high on her tiptoes and 7 1/2 pounds soaking wet. Her grand personality more than makes up for her diminutive size. When seated on her stub of a tail, she is about 2 1/2 hands high. Her jet black coat, though unusually ragged and shaggy, sports reddish highlights when she is sunbathing. (A good snooze in the sun is one of her favorite pastimes.)

No, this is not another shaggy dog story. It may turn out to be a slightly fluffy puppy tale, but for all intents and purposes, the characters are real and resemblance to any fictional beings is purely coincidental.

This tiny love moved in and took over our house in 1990. She understood from the start that it was either housebroken or neckbroken. She decided on the house part and there has never been a problem in that department. Any hour of the day or night, the taps of two diminutive paws on my leg inform me that Miss Boo is a lady and quite chauvinistic about having the door opened for her. If the tapping is ignored, a low guttural (but good-natured) growl warns that the door must be opened for Miss Boo. This failing, a discrete bark informs of the necessity. Her need being acknowledged brings a series of round-and-round spins and a few diving somersaults. After the ordeal, another discrete bark from outside informs me that the mission has been accomplished and I should, again, allow a Lady to enter her domain.

The "outdoors" is a daily adventure that brings on much sniffing and scratching and rolling in friendly (and a few unfriendly) scents. Miss Boo loves birds . . . and squirrels . . . and chipmunks . . . and other dogs (if they are on the other side of her fence) . . . and anything that moves, except her cat. Her cat tries to catch and eat her birds. She hates that and endeavors to keep her cat at bay, well away from her bird feeders.

This special day, Miss Boo climbed on the arm of her sofa (the only way for a Miss Boo to see the front yard from the living room) and looked out. Her birds needed more seeds and her lawn needed mowing. She finally convinced me that these chores must be done and condescended to accompany me in the process. Sparrows, finches, titmice, several cardinals and the ever-present chickadee appreciated the sunflower seeds. We filled the gas tank and cranked the lawn mower and proceeded with the lawn trimming ritual.

Miss Boo does not like to ride the mower, but she will run several paces ahead to guide me to the spots that need cutting, as well as point out the places that I missed.

After a while of nagging about the way that I mowed the lawn, Miss Boo withdrew to the wooded corner of the yard to escape the heat while I trimmed a terrace in the opposite direction.

As I turned the mower, I saw Miss Boo dancing backwards out of the pine trees followed by a full-grown white-tail doe. Miss Boo would dance a couple of doggie-lengths and the deer would prance a step or two with her head held high, pointedly keeping a deer's distance between the two of them. As they stopped, the deer would drop her head and sniff in the direction of the tiny black nugget of energy. Miss Boo playfully lunged at Mrs. Bambi. Her Doe-ness jumped a couple of feet to one side and snorted her royal snort. Miss Boo responded with another playful lunge . . . and the dance went on and on and on.

Keep in mind that during the entire encounter, I, mounted on a running tractor-mower; am only 75 feet away and am in complete disbelief. The two conveyed a friendly, playful demeanor. Though they were cautious, there was no hint of fear. Miss Boo turned her back on the deer and strutted about 20 feet toward the back of Miss Boo's house. The doe followed along at a safe distance. This strutting and prancing, lunging and sniffing continued for about five minutes more. Eventually, they arrived at the back of the house. Miss Boo climbed the steps as if inviting her friend to follow.

At this point, a fig tree interrupted my sight line. Moving the lawn mower spooked the doe. She flagged, marked her territory and calmly trotted off through Miss Boo's field and vaulted over Miss Boo's chain-link fence

Believe this tale if you will. Sometimes I think that it must have been a dream. But most any afternoon, a fully grown reddish white tail doe steps out of the pine woods behind Miss Boo's house. A tiny black dog runs down the back steps. Miss Boo and her doe-ness romp and sniff at each other for a few minutes. When the encounter is over, the doe eats a few green apples, chews a few blueberries and disappears into the pine woods. Miss Boo has her afternoon scratch and comes to the door to announce that playtime is over. After a drink of water, Miss Boo climbs into her French provincial wing chair, puts her head on her velvet pillow, rolls on her back with all fours in the air and dreams of romping with Miss Boo's Doe.

. . . This actually happened in 1993. Miss Boo ruled the Duck Household until December 1998, when she succumbed to the many disorders that had plagued her tiny little body all her nine wonderful years. She is now at rest beside a blueberry bush at the edge of the pine grove that is home to her friends. I fully expect, some night to see Miss Boo dancing by the light of the moon with Her Doe-ness . . . and, If nobody's watching . . . I will be there, too, dancing in the moonlight with them.

Miss Broccoli was probably one of the finest meowlies in the world. She had attitude and she had style but most of all, she had class. Brox lived a long and full life and we accepted that it was time for her to cross over but there is still an empty spot that will never be filled until we meet up with her again.

I have lost a true friend and confidant. Chloe lost her life doing what she loved, chasing mice. I am so, so sorry that I didn't know you were in trouble. I hope you are happy now and have met up with Duffie, Cydney, Rosie, Nina, Calvin, & Cubby. I will never forget you and you will live forever in my heart. Remember, Mama loves you!!!

Miss Emily Kimberly was by far the best dog we ever knew. So much personality! Such an actress! So smart, so funny, so adoring! She and my husband Boyd were soulmates and loved each other to pieces. 11-1/2 years were not nearly long enough -- but we are grateful for every day we shared with her. And as Boyd says, she will never be a "past-tense dog." The love and memories will keep her with us always -- and of all the furry people waiting for us on the other side, she will definitely be first in line! We will continue to tell her every day how much we love her. We love you, Miss Emily, our good dog!

I will always miss you. You will always be my little box kitty. I love you and will see you at the other end of the Bridge. I miss you little angel.

Jessica Davis

This was not my pet but a neighbors. This Miss Kitty was a very special friend who once was let out side but did not come back for days. Weeks days and almost a month passed by.
Then finally I and my neighbor also a good friend went looking for her but did not find her.
Then one day we found her laying on the road bleeding.
She had been run over.
Then the next day I wanted to see how she was but she was dead.
It was such a loss to me I had lost a true friend.
She used to hate me and hurt me but then she liked me and loved me I would see her every day
But now that she is dead I can't even talk about it without crying.
This was so hard to tell my feelings even as a 9 year old but I did anyway so please keep your pets with you when they are out side.

Brittanie

Miss Kitty was our first real pet. We loved her like a member of the family. She was always at the front door to greet us and she would wait at the bottom of the driveway when one of us was out late. She was loyal and kind. We'll never forget you, Miss Kitty. WE LOVE YOU!!!!! We'll never forgive those wild dogs for what they did to you. Our only hope is that you did not suffer.

Upton Family

Kitty, we will miss you. We love you!

She was my wife Jennifer's cat. Even though we spent 6 years together, She was always Jennifer's cat. The happiest moment of every day, for her, was when she climbed into bed with Jennifer at night, and purred her little head off. She even came to roust Jennifer from whatever she was doing when bedtime rolled around. She slept in our bed every night. She controlled the pace of our household routines. She was the queen of the roost.

She had gradually grown to accept me. When Jennifer traveled, we would wait together for her to return. Eventually she would come sleep with me, and purr her head off.

She was sweet, and completely lacked that cat "aloofness." She was Jennifer's companion, and she was my friend. My heart hurts, it aches, with her loss. I miss her so much, and my house is so quiet without her sounds.

Miss Kitty knew her name. Whenever I said it, she would flick her tail and look up. I wish she could do that now.

Thank you, Miss Kitty. For your wonderful, sweet love. I hope we did right by you. We miss you terribly.

Jay Cooper

To Miss Kitty, My very special friend, and the love of my life, Mom misses you.

Thanks you for bringing so much peace and laughter to our lives.

Beloved dog of James McNulty and Josephine Fatta; and sister to Sir Dude.

Marley's spirit past to a better place (and her next assignment) after giving us 4 1/2 years of joy, love, companionship and comfort.

It didn't matter that she never learned to sit, roll-over or play fetch. It didn't matter that she'd walk at her own, slow pace and stopped for a sniff at every step. It was of no consequence that she'd steal all of Dude's treats but never eat them and insist on drinking ice water out of a "human" glass. None of this mattered and, in fact, these quirks added to everything that was pure Marley.

Marley came to us as a stray from the streets of Boston - scared, timid and untrusting. Despite this, she used her independence, dignity, and will to survive and quickly blossom into a warm, gentle and loving friend. Marley was sent to us to teach us what we can become - against many odds - when we're nurtured, encouraged and appreciated. As her "servants", we harvested the incredible award of seeing her thrive!

We love Marley and will miss her terribly. We carry her spirit in our hearts until we meet her again.

To Miss Minnie:

I knew I would miss you  
  your following my every step  
I never knew I'd miss your  
  demanding bark to be fed.

I know I'd miss you  
  your solid black eyes looking at me,  
  wanting to be picked up and loved  
I never knew I'd miss your waking me  
 in the middle of the night to go out.

I knew I'd miss you  
  your walking in the back yard, running  
  at the fence with the dogs next door  
I never knew I'd miss your snoring next  
  to my bed.

I knew I'd miss you  
I never knew how much!

----I love you and miss you very much!!!!

A malignant melanoma was found on the roof of her mouth during a routine dental check up and it had covered almost her entire face in 1 months time. There will always be a empty place in my heart for Miss Mo and for all my other beloved pets that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

Miss Molly you passed on Valentines Day I can't believe you have left me. You will always be in my heart that will never fade. When we met we were heart to heart I can't help but cry right now my heart misses you so......be a good girl just like you were here. We will be together again. We love you Baby.

For my Black Lab, Pollyanna

Why was I so careless?  
Why couldn't I see?  
You were a smart dog,  
but you still needed me.

I trained you and showed you  
the road was so bad.  
I thought that you knew that,  
I wish that you had.

Now you are gone  
fast asleep by the trees.  
With my other dear friends  
that were special to me.

But you are my sweetie  
so loving so rare.  
I will never forget you  
It just isn't fair.

If I had to do over  
I would lock you inside.  
You would always be safe  
except for your pride.

Would that make you joyfull  
complete and content?  
You wanted to run  
and happy days you spent.

You needed your freedom.  
You had people to see.  
Come throw my ball,  
come play with me!

You will not be forgotten.  
We are put to the test.  
You know that it's true  
You were simply the best!!

To Daddy's little girl and mommies little C. Thank you for the best 8 years of my life. You were the best dog and friend that a person could ask for. Thank you for your unconditional love and for making my life happy. You have touched many lives and will be deeply missed by all. Thank you for the wonderful memories. We can't wait until the day when we are reunited as a family. You have now returned to God and may God watch over you. Rest in peace.
Love,
Dad & Mom

To my darling little girl, you gave so much love and happiness to all the knew you. I am so sorry that you had to suffer the pain that you endured from your injuries.  
I know now that you are safe and free from pain, you will be missed so much. Good bye Missy until we meet again.

Your loving Mom

Our beautiful Missy went to the bridge this morning. For nine and a half years, she was our baby and our protector. Missy was the sweetest dog. She loved us unconditionally, and gave us so much joy. Her passing leaves a deep and painful void in our lives. This is not goodbye, this is just see you later. Until we meet you and all our other furbabies at the bridge, know that you were loved here on this side of heaven, and we will be reunited on that side.

Tracey and Lushon Noel

We lost our sweet kitty Missy, On Thanksgiving day at 7:00 AM after 9 years of love and togetherness. She was the sweetest most gentle cat we have ever known. All we had to do was walk into a room, and she would wake up and start purring and "making bisquits" so softly. When I would come up to her while she was on the bed, she would stand up and put her front paws on my tummy and that would be her sign that she wanted a Hug. I would pick her up and she would put her paws around my neck and squeeze as hard as she could...and lean her head right into my cheek. If I tried to put her down too soon..she would grab hold tighter and lean in harder. She always knew what time it was instinctively, and everynight 10 minutes before Gary was due to walk in the door from work, Missy would wake up and come out to the kitchen and sit quietly for "Daddy". As soon as he got in, he would bend down to pet her and she would "flop down" and turn on her back for a belly rub. It has been so hard to lose her on our Thanksgiving Holiday, but we are so blessed to have been able to love her and share all the wonderful times we did. She purred right to the very last second...in our laps, looking at us with all the love she had.

We love you Missy..and we will see you again..

Patty and Gary

Missy was the sweetest, and most loveable cat we have ever known. She loved being with the family, and playing, which included rides on children's sleds, and in wheelbarrows.

She was wonderful company as she enjoyed carrying on conversations with us, which included answering our questions as we asked them with meows. You could never be lonely with Missy in the room

Missy seemed almost human at times, and loved by everyone who knew her. She will be greatly missed.

Missy:

You are deeply missed.

Love,
Your Family

She was so wonderful and I miss her terribly. Please, God in heaven, bless and take care of Missy until I can get there too. How did I ever get so lucky to have a cat like you, Missy? You will always be my "sweet cheeks petunia blossom." and I will always love you

Debra Banks

Missy was my beautiful cat, whom I loved beyond words. She had these great big eyes that just stared at you and made her look so innocent.. She would give me this sweet inquiring smile when I got home. She was an independent cat. Stubborn too. Probably got that from her owner. Everything had to be done on her own terms. Every night she would come for her milk. She had two beautiful kittens. I miss her so much. The thought of never seeing her beautiful sweet innocent face again is so unbearable. Please God take care of her in heaven.

I love you Missy
-Mummy

To my buddy Mischief. You have been with me for the past 10 years but sadly, today it is time to say goodbye. After unsuccessful surgery to stop the spread of cancer on your nose I have had to make the hardest decision of my life.
I love you very much and will miss you very much. You will have a place in my heart forever.

Andrea Donelan

We had to put Missy, my sweet cocker spaniel to rest on 2/22/97. Missy was a wonderful little girl who stood by me in some of the worst times of my life. She believed in me when I was fired from a job I loved. She kept me from feeling lonely when I was divorced and living in a place where I knew no one. She moved 10 times to new homes with me and never complained or had to "adjust". She knew no strangers. Whenever I had out of town relatives or company, she acted as the perfect little hostess and usually insisted on sleeping with that person. She let me know when I dated the "wrong" guy by chewing his wallet or belt. She "loved" Bill, my husband today, from the moment she met him! We brought other pooches into the house, Zack and Reggie, and she loved and nurtured them. I will never adopt another Cocker Spaniel, it would be too painful. We have beautiful Shih Tzus now. It has taken me this long to be able to even post a tribute to her sweetness. I know she looks down on us, my husband, me and our 4 Shih Tzus and keeps an eye on things. Sometimes I think I "smell" her, or glimpse a sight of her out of the corner of my eye. I'll never forget my girl. I know she is with my Dad, waiting for me and my whole menagerie, when we meet at the Rainbow Bridge. I feel honored and blessed to have had Missy in my life!

Missy was rescued at the age of two and lived with us for 12 years.
She will always have a special place in our hearts. She was our smiling little poodle.

In celebration of my perfect kitten. I love you and miss you and am profoundly sad. I hope that I did the right thing for you and that you are truly in a better place. I love you Missy and will never, ever forget the softness of your fur, your beauty, your silly way of sleeping, the heaviness of you curled up on my back at night, nor a thousand other memories that invade my every thought. Take care, my little girl. I love you.

Christine

I love you and miss you so much. You will always be in my mind and my heart. Be happy where you are you are. I hope it is beautiful. I will see you when I get there. Think of me often as I will of you. I love you.---Meg

Mister you made our lives so fulfilling. To come home each day and have you waving at us with a smile on your face made it all the more special for us. Kendra misses you ever so much, but she has come to understand you are happy and waiting for us to join you someday! We love you, we miss you and we cherish the time we had with you!

The Pendergrass Family

Mister was the shining force in our house. When my mom first brought Mister home he was a bundle of black and white fur all fuzzy and sweet. One of the first things I remember was my mom hiding him under the tarp from my Dad and giving Mister to him as a ""Father's Day Present"". I was 12 when they brought him home and I remember going in the back yard and playing with him all day. He would stand at the back door which was a sliding patio door, and just stare at our feet because that's all he could see. Even when he was an adult dog, he still would stare at our feet like he couldn't look up at us.

Mister was a member of the family. he was protector The best watch dog we ever had. He never attacked anyone he wasn't supposed to. He knew who the friendly ones were and who the bad ones were. He was so smart it was unbelievable. He learned to open the door with his nose, he learned to do so many things without us ever having to teach him anything. He was more than a companion to me as I was growing up. We got him soon after we moved into a new house, and I started having insomnia real bad, and I would go in kitchen and lay with Mister and fall asleep right there with him. He was one of those dogs that when you cried he was right by your side. He would nudge your hand until you petted him on the head, that made him happy, so he thought it made us happy too. True to his retriever breed, he carried a ball in his mouth non-stop. He went thru so many tennis balls/pink rubber balls. His last pink ball still sits on my dad's dresser. He loved playing ball, that's what he lived for. He was so good at ball playing, he looked just like the field trials dogs you see, turning and jumping beautifully, black and white long flowing hair, blowing in the breeze. He lived for that ball, he slept with it, put it in his food and water bowls, carried it around constantly, and even barked with it in his mouth. He was part water dog, being a retriever, so when he was a puppy, his water bowl was like a swimming pool to him and he would put his front paws in the water and try to swim. He would also stick his ball in there and go fishing it out all the way at the bottom of the bowl. He also could retrieve the ball off of the roof, the air conditioner and a old well that we had in the back yard. Its sometimes hard for me to get on the computer, because the computer room became his domain, his bedroom. There is another sliding glass door in this room also and he also kept watch all night long sleeping by that door. He also used to kill birds and bring them to my sister's feet, he was just a natural at retrieving.

Everyday he sat by the front window right next to the front door and watched for the mailman. He also knew exactly when one of us were going to be home and he would sit by the door waiting for us to get there. He'd greet you at the door with his ball in his mouth wagging his huge tail that shook his whole body. I will never forget coming home that first time and knowing that he wasn't there and he would never be there again. I don't get to hug him when I'm sad, I don't feel his big black nose nudging me to pet him at night. he doesn't drop his ball in my hand anymore. So, many years, I was so used to having him, I never imagined what it would be like to lose our protector, our best, our ""Big Guy"". He was the best dog in the whole world and no dog could ever take his place. We miss you Mister, and now I know why DOG is GOD slept backwards. Mister was heaven sent and will always remain like an angel over our lives. So, REST IN PEACE BIG GUY!!! WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!

You were brought into my life 16 years ago, just a kitten, to help me get over another pet loss. You were just a little ball of fur. I held your little head today as the needle went in and you drew your last breath. I would never have let you die alone. You are next to Baby now in the backyard and already I miss hearing your little cat feet and that look when you wanted to be fed. Please know that you were loved and I did it out of love so you wouldn't suffer any longer. Love forever to my Prissy, my little old man.

A Good Cat is Worth His Weight In Gold. Mr. Puddin was such a cat. He came to us as a pure gift from Nature. As we went for a ride on a sunny Mother's Day afternoon we had no idea what was waiting for us by the side of a deserted road by the beach. It was a tiny ball of fur, not more than three weeks old, who went on to run our house and own our hearts for the next eight and a half years. We had to give him back to Nature on November 9 1999 at 915 a.m. A piece of my heart went with him and our lives are so much better for having known him. I don't posess the eloquence to describe all the emotions we feel and the empty space in our lives now that he is gone, but I believe death cannot separate hearts, only bodies. So, Mr, Poopie Pants, your popper and your mommer send kisses and hugs to you and want you to never again know the pain and suffering that you felt during your last days on earth and we return you from where you came, from the heart of the Heavenly Father. God bless you little buddy..We'll see you in heaven, because it won't be heaven if you're not there. Love. Mommer. Popper and Rani.

are you home? whisper into my heart  
I shall forever hear the melodious rumble of your song,  
marvel at your quiet omniscience and  
know our souls intertwine.  
Be safe and warm; you shall be loved always.

You were special & unique. You were "on duty" at all times, that even when you died I couldn't close your eyes, you just kept looking up at me to let me know it was ok. I will always miss you Girl, & when I go your ashes will be with me also. Sadie looks for you all the time. You taught her all your tricks except "drop it". She will live on in your memory.  
Every time I run the vacuum, or squirt the hose, or mow the lawn, I will laugh how you used to chase them. No other dog will go get a bath like you did. You always made me feel safe, ( & Mary too ), and I will miss our little car rides together. Enjoy your time in Rainbow Bridge for now you are "off duty". I will see you there. Mommie loves you Girl.

Mistress Ying was the Mistress of Love. She gently tended her younger cousins and never asked for anything special for herself. Mistress Ying, I wish I would have had the chance to get to know you better. My poor little girl, I feel like I failed you. You were so gentle and kind once you trusted us enough not to run away. I adopted you from the street to give you a better life and instead I lost you in such a horrible way. Rapunzel, Grizelda and Allegria are waiting for you at the bridge and they will be good friends. I will think of you often and hope that you forgive me for not being there when you needed me. God bless you, my mistress of love.

Misty, my dearest and closest friend. You were always there for me with your unconditional love and hugs, through some very tough times and alot pain. You taught me so much about patience and love, and brought me so much happiness. I still miss you very much and you are in my heart forever. But know that I will see you again someday, and that we will "play rough" again. I love you and miss you!

Cindy Anderson

Misty: everyone in my family loved you and we all miss you. Your great personality, your sharp intelligence, and your company I will never forget. It broke my heart when you had a heart attack and we had to put you to sleep. When you died, a piece of me died too. From your days as a kitten till the past year, in all the years we had you, I loved you. If such a place does exist - I hope that you are with God. Someday under the soft light of eternity, I will see you with all my other beloveds.

Love,

Misty

A beautiful grey cat with eyes like amber She was my faithful friend, and allowed me and my family to live with her in her house on Lake Mandarin Circle East.

She was elegant, and allowed you to love her from afar, never really letting you hold on to her for long. She was so sweet and loved us all, especially me. I will miss her so very much, and I am grateful to God for her years of love.

Libby Casella

Dear Poo Poo Girl,

I will never forget going to get my ivory colored rat, who was once rejected by another family, and to that I can only say Thank God! because you wound up with us, where you became, as Janel said "one of the gang," and in my mind, the leader of the gang. Though you suffered through an early death of your buddy, Homer, you carried on and welcomed all rats to the family (and nipped the noses of new dogs!)

No matter how many animals have come and gone from this house, and how many will come and go in my lifetime, there are two that I KNOW will be waiting when it is my turn, and that is

In Memory of Misty, our Beloved Peruvian Guinea Pig

Misty you were always so very smart,  
You'll always be close to my heart.  
You'd stand and beg and "wheet" for food,  
And always put me in a good mood.  
To the third floor of your cage for your own private share,  
Alfalfa and hay would always be there.  
Oranges, apples and tomatoes were quite a treat,  
Carrots, greens and green beans you'd love to eat.  
You were fast like a cheetah, graceful like a gazelle,  
So brave when taken ill, no one could tell.  
Your long hair so soft and most beautiful eyes,  
There was no time for last minute goodbyes.  
Though I was not there when God took you away,  
Your in my thoughts "Misty Pixer" each and every day!  
Rainbow bridge is the heaven where you shall now go  
Your there in peace my little angel, that I know.  
One day your family will join you, and you can all play again  
Goodbye for now my wonderful, cuddly friend.

With love from Donna and Bruce  
and your Guinea Pig family Ashley, Blacky, and Buffy  
(you are in our thoughts each day)

We really didn't want a Cocker Spaniel-we wanted a Westhighland Terrier. After numerous unsuccessful calls to local kennels and breeders, we came up zero. Our last call was to a local vet who, while not having any pregnant Westhighland patients, owned a Cocker Spaniel who was due in couple of weeks. He said he would call us when the puppies were 4 weeks and we could come and see them, no obligation. When his call came, we drove to his home to see the puppies. There they were, a litter of 7, 6 males, 2 females and only 2 black ones. My husband picked up the little female and she tried to crawl down his shirt collar. He was sold from that moment on. The vet's daughter had christened her Misty, and we saw no reason to change the name.  
Misty was our child-we have no others as we were unable to have any. She had some goofy habits, like not going potty unless she had a leaf or stick between her teeth. On cold, rainy days, I'd wrap her up in a blanket and hold her in my lap, where she would fall asleep. At the age of 6, Misty developed acute pancreatitis and almost didn't survive. But she was a little fighter and we brought home a healthy, happy dog. My husband often called her Misty Moo-Moo, which she seemed to relish. Her favorite person was my father. He is the only one she would pee for!  
The house seems so empty now that she is gone. I cry for her much more than I ever thought I would. Does this empty feeling go away? I hope so. Will I ever stop missing my little Misty girl? NEVER! She is always close by, and I believe all dogs go to Heaven.

MISTY

Run free Misty, you're free like the wind to run and play in the fields. Hide no more in deep dark places.  
You're finally free from torment to lay in the open meadow amongst the tall grass that you loved so much.  
Lay there and feel the warmth of the sunlight on your back.  
Run free Misty.

I adopted Misty in 1983 while working at an animal hospital. She belong to a military family; they were moving to Iceland and could not take her. I'd had her for 13 years and I thank God our paths crossed--she was a very loving dog, with the typical border collie quirks. In her last months, I dreaded the time when I would have to bring her to the vets...However, she must have sensed this and she passed away at home, in her sleep. Sometimes I feel guilty that I might have let her live on too long, that I kept her alive because the hurt of losing her, of having to hold her leg while the vet gave her that fatal dose, that I was being selfish. I had a dream not long after her death, she was playing, running on a sandy beach, chasing gulls. I tried to run after her, but she always seemed to be just out of range. Finally, she stopped and looked at me, and I got the feeling that she was telling me, "not yet--but I'll be waiting for you right here." Knowing that I'll be seeing her once again someday makes me not fear death as much. So girl, thanks for all those years together--I still miss you after all this time. Others will come after you, but none will every take your place...

Mark Udry

To our beloved Misty. We will miss you. We love you. Please look down on us and continue your everlasting faithfulness. We Love you.

She was God's gift to me.

It didn't seem that way at first....but then I guess not everything God does is obvious

I was a troubled 18yr old loner with few friends and awkward social skills. High School was 'not' a happy time for me. I had recently lost my first pet...'Missy' after only two years..the victim of Epilepsy. I wanted a dog so bad, finally my father relented, and told me of a 6mo old puppy named 'Misty' that needed a home. He described her as a 'collie' so my expectations were to see something that looked like 'Lassie'. Needless to say when this small scraggly patch of mismatched fur and floppy years carefully stalked into view and hid behind the lady's legs (who temporarily was giving her a home) I was non-plussed to say the least.

What a strange looking and strange acting little doggie she was...she didn't bark, she didn't wag her tail....she would just curl up when you approached, look at you from the corner of one eye and put her rear leg up in fear and when pet would act like she'd rather be anyplace but near you. I learned at this point that she'd been abused as a puppy...why someone would do such a thing I cannot contemplate to this day....so I reached out my heart to give her a chance at a new home.

It almost didn't work....I was impatient for a companion to love and be loved by and the first month she didn't respond to me or anyone, she would just lay in a corner and sleep, putting the leg up everytime I approached, and be more non-responsive to my voice and call than a cat busy bathing itself. I had to use a leash to get her from point A to B in our home. I was frustrated..my father asked me from school if I wanted to send her away finally...I cried in frustration for him to do whatever he felt was best....fortunately, he delayed on the day I expected her to leave my life...and when I got home, *that* was the first day she responded to me....she came to me and wagged her tail ever so slightly and got up on her hind legs putting her forepaws on my legs in greeting.

The rest was history...we were inseparable, she followed me everywhere and I was never alone, though at times I thought I was...I wasn't, because she was there. There were still rocky times....she remained paranoid and neurotic all her life, always looking at new situations suspiciously, and oh was she a fighter, whether big dogs, little dogs, or the person about to give her a bath, she fought and attempted to dominate. Many a vet was scored upon in her time.

She loved the barn....it was her element...when she was younger she would herd the horses out of pure instinct and joy...chasing them around barking happily. In later times she contented herself with fully scouting out all areas searching out those interesting places to sniff, and dominating all dogs in the vicinity.

She is gone now....and I hurt so bad I want to die. but I know I can't take that option...God has given me too much to do something so disrespectful..but it hurts...there is a void in my soul where she was. I never knew true loneliness till now. without her quiet presence, I feel empty and baren..and full of guilt. I didn't deserve her. I didn't give her enough walks, make sure she had all her shots updated, give her regular checkups..during her last years she spent so much time alone in my apt...the result of a bachelor life and a full work schedule. She put up with it so well and was still glad to see me when I came home. she deserved better than me...at least now she is happy and free, young again and whole. Please take care of her God..never was there a more loyal or faithful animal. I will always love her.

A POEM FOR THE GRIEVING...
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die...

Mom and Dad

My Dearest Misty:

Nine months have passed since you left us and piece of myself left with you. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you terribly and will for the rest of my life. Be happy with Bernie and Honey in God's gentle care and enjoy those big green fields full of ballies and frisbees. Misty, there will never be another dog like you. I will always love you and look forward to the day when we can be together once again at the Bridge. Until we meet again, you are with me no matter where I go. Love you forever.

Love and Hugs,

A true lifetime companion who lived a very long and full life. We all miss you.

A Beautiful baby came into my life and though she only stayed for 7 years, she had curled up and is purring in a special place in my heart. My memories of her will be as she was, sweet and special.

My Dearest Mittens  
You were getting on in years and I knew you would have to leave us soon, but I was not prepared to lose you just yet. In a matter of a week my whole life turned upside down - one day the vet was telling me you were anemic and he advised exploratory surgery to find out why, then a few short days later on the operating table your heart gave out and he could not revive you. Oh baby I miss you so much!! I've had cats before you and there will be others after you, but I don't think any could take the piece of my heart that you took with you. We had a wonderful 16 years together so now rest peacefully my sweet "Miss Mittens", run and play by the Bridge and I will meet with you again someday.  
All my love  
Leslie "mommy"  
Neil "daddy" and Samantha Cat miss you too.

You loved to go for walks outside on your leash. I know you can go outside now, whenever you want. We will join you someday, and all be together again. Until then, we will miss you very much. Mittens, "Big Mac", "Pookie", we gave you many names, because you were too special for only one name. You lived for 18 years and nine months, and as result many people and cats knew and loved you. You had a long and happy life despite being diagnosed with Feline Urologic Syndrome when you were only four years old. Your will to live was amazing. We will always love you.

Kristen Miller

In loving memory of my "Pretty Little Girl...Mittens". Your always in my heart.

Lisa

To Mittens, my only friend:
You have no idea how much I miss you. My heart aches with pain when I don't see you at our frond door when I come home, or see only 2 of our cat bowls full of food and yours still waiting, or when I see Atticus run around and chase imaginary animals and sit at the front door and wait for you to come home. Mama is upset and I'm not sure I really want to live through this. Just remember, Mittens, you are my only. A friend in a world of enemies. A candle on a dark night. I keep the memories of us tightly bound together so no one will take them away. You're a good girl and I miss you. Say hi to Magpie for me. Don't ever give up hope that you will never see us again. Because, believe me, I see you everywhere I go. I love you, my little girl, my only friend, and I will never forget you. I will never let go, and I will never say goodbye. Lots of love and kisses,

~Rachel, "Mama"

I once had a kitty her name was Mitty and she was a very pretty kitty.  
She grew, grew and grew as all the months pasted by.  
Now my little Mitty was not a kitty she was a very pretty cat.  
One morning I woke up and called out the door Mitty,kitty,kitty,kitty.  
She was no where in sight and at first I was a bit of a fright.  
I looked in the garage and there she was laying there out of sight.  
I picked her up and looked at her and her eyes where closed very tight.  
She was not breathing, she was not moving, not doing anything lifelike.  
Now Mitty the kitty was gone for good and I cried, cried and cried.  
I buried her in my own backyard where she could take her forever long nap.  
I was very sad, I was very mad and I could not sleep or eat.  
Now time has passed, I have another cat but she will always remain
IN MY HEART

Dustin Chartier

Mittens, you were my little Mitty Moo and I loved the way you used to curl up on by back to sleep every night and how your purr sounded like a whistle. The day we had to have you put to sleep was the hardest day of my life. When I said good-bye to you I thought I'd never get over it but time has healed me somewhat and I'm doing better than I was. I will always love you mitty and will never ever forget you.

Love, kisses, and hugs MOM ( Debbie Lambert)

She was a loving pet to my daughters, and after they were grown, she became my faithful friend and companion. We were blessed to have her with us for fifteen years. I still feel her spirit watching over and guarding us yet.

Love, Barb & Jack

My Mitzie  
Mitzie was so kind and she never hurt us  
She was so pretty and I miss her ever so much  
and I wish she never died  
But I know deep down inside  
that my dear friend will always be beside me  
and she'll never be forgotten for she's always in my heart  
so we'll never be apart  
and I know one day I will see my friend again

....By Cherie Bray - aged 12

You are my companion and my heart, but now your suffering is over and you broken body can rest in peace. I love you, baby.

Shannon

I bonded with Miya shortly after she was born, before her eyes even opened. When her mother weaned the litter too soon I fed Miya baby formula from an eye dropper. She slept with me, and when she began "talking", her special call for me was "Mama". She was warm, affectionate, intelligent, playful, and every inch a grande dame. I will miss her for the rest of my life.

~~Emby Quinn

MIdnight was a brave girl all her life. She was hit by a car before I got her and was partially paralyzed. This did not stop her from enjoying life, however. She was my inspiration and my best friend.

We lost our dear Moby to cancer and miss her very much. So does her "brother", Gizmo (a chihuahua).

Pam & Mike

Dearest Mocha how we miss you. The only time there is a bit of relief in the ache in our hearts is when we try to focus on the fact that we took away your suffering. Mommy knows that on that terrible day in May you asked her in your own quite way to help you.  
How we miss you, our precious Mocha. The pain is sometimes so intense but there are times of peace when we focus on the fact that you no longer are in pain. Mommy is certain that in your own quiet way you asked her to help you that awful day in May. Thank you for twelve wonderful years. You were a trooper till the end. We've found it difficult to go hiking this summer without you but we know you wouldn't have been able to do it this year. We think of you constantly and a day never goes by without mention of your name. We will look for you at the "Rainbow Bridge" Please don't give up waiting for us. We LOVE you.

Bill, Nadine & Eric Babcock

A true Friend to the end!

We all love you Moey

Chris & Carolyn

The best seven years of my life was spent with you. Loyal, loving, proud, honorable, brave and strong, protective, sweet, smart, and the dearest thing to me in the whole wide world. No one that ever met you will ever be able to forget you. Mogely, I miss you so much but I know if there is a heaven, you will certainly go. I will look for you in the stars. Goodbye my best friend. Your mommy

Mohawk, I only had you for two short years, but you were a well-loved kitty. You will always be loved and hold a special place in my heart. I know you are in a better place now, and your brother and sister already at the bridge will love you and take care of you.

I anticipate the day we are together again. I love you so much, and I always will!

Love,
Mom

Mo was a 9 year old female pied cockatiel. We lost her on 2-1-99 after a 5 month battle with egg yolk peritonitis. We loved our little Baby and will miss her terribly.

Mojo, you now know what I may never discover for myself.
You were the goodness in my life. There is your namesake is with you now.
Take care of him.

I will miss you miss you so very much. Moka you have given me so much and taught me so much. We all miss you Moka you may be gone but you live on.

To Mokie - I miss you so very much. I miss your sensitivity, your friskiness, your sense of self, your rolling over and over when I came home from work. You were called "Chaos" at the shelter. It was an apt name, but I couldn't call you that. I must admit you drove me crazy at times but I realize now your antics took my mind off negative things. You were taken so soon. . .only 1.5 years old. The shock is just beginning to wear off. Having Sheba is a big help. I treasure the time I had with you. I shall always be grateful for your presence in my life, and look forward to our being reunited. With much love, Mom (Susan) - and Sheba, too.

Our beloved sweet Moey, you will never be forgotten. You will always have a special place in our hearts. We can't wait to see you at the rainbow bridge. We will never have to be separated again. We will remember your gentle and loving ways. How you climbed the slides at the park, how agile and obedient you were, and all the good and bad times we shared. You were a great therapy dog and loved by so many. You came into our lives as an abused stray and left us with no explanation. The vets' couldn't tell us what caused your parting from our lives. You left us as quickly as you came into our family. You're name "Molasses" was given to you because you were so sweet and gentle. "sweet as molasses". Please watch over us from heaven till we are together again. xxxxooooo.

Mullins family

To Molley, our special baby bear.

We will love you always.

You are gone from this Earth but will live forever in our hearts.

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

Until we meet again.

All our love.

Darren and Sheree.

Much loved sister of Max, Sarah, Tom, Jerry, and Paul. You will be much missed by them and your mother, Dorothy. Rest in peace.

I truly believe that Mollie was an angel sent to me here on earth. She was the most loving, gentlest, kindest, sweetest being that the good Lord could ever have created.  
I am about to be married and Mollie absolutely adored my fiancée. I cannot and never will be able to understand why Mollie had to leave right when she was about to enter what would have had to have been the most wonderful  
happy time of her life. It is so unfair! I know that everything is according to God's plan..... but there is now such a hole in my life.... a void which can never be completely filled ever again.  
Mollie, I loved you more than life itself. Please wait for me for I cannot imagine going through eternity without you. I LOVE you so much, sweetie. Love forever and ever.

Lin

Her beautiful life cut short by a car, we know that your soul is chasing cats, running through the grass and burying bones wherever you want...although we know you are in a good place, our hearts hold a place where you will always be remembered and missed. You were our companion, our protector, our playmate and a very important part of our family. We look forward to the day when you will jump on us and look at us with your beautiful brown eyes that always said how much you loved us. You are so missed and loved "Mollie"...until we meet again...

Sonia Adams

To our beautiful little girl who has our heart and love forever. We will see you and your sister Muffin at the Rainbow Bridge, and when we do, we will have each other forever. We will hold you and love you and never let you go. We pity those who have never felt the special Love you brought and shared with us. It is unfair that you had to leave us so soon. We had so much more to do together. Take care our gentle Princess and have fun with your sister and your new friends until we join you. Until we see your brown eyes again, you will be with us every day in every way. A ray of Sun, a wisp of wind, the stars at night, we know it will be you 
We love You.. Please come close Babedog....how about some of those kisses....

Josie and Hank Pyck

She was truly man's best friend
From beginning to end.....
I was fortunate enough to enjoy
her unconditional love and companionship
for 14 years........

Randy Donahue

Dear Molly,

You were an angel sent to help a young boy who needed a companion. You always showed unconditional love, and brought nothing but joy to the people who's hearts you touched.

Journey on, my loving friend. Life is brief, we will meet again.

Always in my Heart,

- Mark

I lost my best friend on Nov. 19. I loved her so much. I had her for ten years and she saw me through some tough times. Most of those years, it was just the two of us. I miss her and always will.

Mary Wasilewski

Her name was Molly, but I called her Angel. She loved to eat. She was a chocolate colored dachshund. Her bark was loud and she was a proud dog. She slept next to me on my bed every single night and would wait by the front door until I came home. Today I walked in the front door and the void and silence overwhelmed me. She was my girl, my baby, my angel. I loved her so much and the pain of losing her is so hard to take. I am drowning in my tears. I miss Molly so much. I posted a picture of her on my bed frame so she is still with me when I sleep. I loved my beautiful dachshund and I always will. She will always be in my heart. My angel on earth is now an angel in heaven. Bye Molly Momma loves her pretty girl

Molly was a 2 1/2 year old Rottweiller Mix. She was the most cherished thing in my life and I will never forget her. She died at 7:15 in the morning on September 21, 1999.

She had been ill from an immune system disease and was give high doses of Prenisone and other drugs. I was the drugs that ultimately killed her. I feel guilty for that.

Molly had more personality that any human I have ever met. She made me laugh, cry and sometimes just "burst" with a feeling of joy. She also happened to be the most beautiful dog I have ever seen.

Never in my life had I experienced such happiness as I had when I was with her. The hole in my heart will never be filled, until I get to the bridge.

There are other dogs that I will love, but Molly will always be that special one whose love and companionship I will harshly miss and treasure throughout my time on this earth.

God bless all living creatures who so worthy yet so need of reciprocal unconditional love.

Kelly

My dog, Molly, died almost exactly one week ago, right down to the minute. I miss her so much more than I ever could have imagined. From the first second I saw her, I knew that I was meant to be her owner. I was only 12, and I had wanted a dog as long as I could remember. After hours of begging, and after we finally moved into a house with a fenced in yard, I was allowed to pick out and buy a puppy of my choice. I wanted a cocker spaniel, and Molly was one of the puppies in the first group I saw. She was the sweetest little thing I had ever seen. Her sweet face is the thing I miss so much it's painful. Molly remained the most important thing in my life. She was there with me, when my parents were working late, when my parents got divorced, when I went on my first date, when I got home from my prom, when I went to college...She was there when I moved into my first apartment, and every apartment after that. She was so many things to me; a mother for making me feel comforted when I was with her, a sister for giving me that silent support when I needed it, my baby when I rubbed her head, fed her, bathed her, and held her, and most of all, a friend who gave me unconditional love. She was with me for over 14 years, and I still think that I deserved more time with her. It didn't feel like the right time for her to go, but when she got so sick that she couldn't stand without slowly tipping over, I knew that it was more painful more me to watch her suffer, than it would be for me to let her go. The moment she stopped breathing was the most shocking thing that I had ever witnessed, and I still can feel that shock when I think about that second. It was so hard for me to leave her side and to go home without her, I must have returned to her body at least 5 or 6 times, just to pet her again, or scratch her where she especially liked it. After that moment, I wasn't so scared when I thought about dying, because if there is a heaven and if I am lucky enough to go there, I know that Molly will be waiting for me. But for now, I can only think about her big brown eyes, and that slight smile she always had on her face. I miss you, sweet girl!!! Your mama

We are very sad that our Molly passed away on September 5, 1999. She gave us much love over the past 9 years and left us with many happy memories. We miss her sweet little "chirp." We love you, Molly. You will live in our hearts forever.

Debbie J. & family

Molly we will miss you so very much. You were a special part of our family. We love you.

Mary, Bernie, Ashley & Brandon

You are set free from the body your body which was failing you. Now running ever so hard in your spirit and in our memories. We will miss your special greeting to say "hello, welcome to my house"; your snuggle at night while sleeping beside me; the joy of being in your company while YOU earned a purple ribbon during county fair. Always, such a good girl. God will receive you with open arms and care for you until we meet again. You will live in my heart for eternity. Please God, kiss the top of her head, so she will know she's ok. Rusty misses you too sweetheart! I love you Betcha By Golly Miss Molly today and forever more.

Gayle Ganwish

You were a part of us all and you will be dearly missed. Through the eyes of God you will be ok up there in heaven. We will live you always and you will always be in my thoughts. I know you were sick and had a long road with cancer, but now you may rest with peaceful dreams. Love you!

Alyssa & Shawn, and kids.

It was just a few days ago I had lost part of my heart along with my best beloved friend A member of my family passed on my dog molly she was no ordinary dog she was my pride and joy. I saved her life from from being shot as a puppy I fell in love with her first day I saw her. I know its not been long we have other dogs but none will ever the joy back she gave. I know she waiting to see me again and so am I.
So remember beloved friend I will always love till the end.
How do you cope with this?

Jessie Porter

Thank you Molly for the eight wonderful years we had with you. Thank you for the love and attention you gave to us all. You will always be with us because how could you ever be forgotten. We will always love you Miss Molly Mam and I believe we will be together again someday. I Love You.

Karen

June 14, 1999, Monday my Molly took her final journey. I never knew anything could hurt so much. We loved her, plain and simple. We loved her with all our hearts and souls. In this crazy world she was all the certainty we had. People come and go, they leave, they change, but only molly remained her own sweet self, just plain Molly. There are as I said a very few things of which you can remain certain of but she was one of those things you knew would always be there. Just as she was yesterday, she would be tomorrow. Loving, dependable, loyal and kind. She loved us, she showed it, we loved her, we showed it. Wait at the gate for us honey, and don't be afraid. We are with you always as you are with us. Go with God....Pat Schaldenbrand

Oh God! it seems so long ago, and yet as time is measured it was only Yesterday. I close my eyes and though you fade, I can feel your presence everywhere, in every adorable way, For I don't ever want to forget you, I deem to keep you ever close and ever in my heart. How do you measure time you have, with those you love so dear, it always seems so short. When you journeyed out of my life, you did not go alone, for part of me went along, for I could not have known and loved you and let you go alone. My life can't ever be the same, and yet, for knowing you my little fur baby, you made it so much better and richer, and sweetened each wonderful year. You truly were a gift from God, but only on a loan. We can only love our dear ones, until he calls them home. So Molly, Go with God my dear and wait for mom at the gates....

Your mom, Pat Schaldenbrand,. in memory of "molly" who left us on June 14, 1999.

Molly,

You were a special cat and taken away from us so suddenly and so young. We will all miss you and love you so dearly.

You will be in our hearts always,
Daddy, Mommy, Dylan, and Jesse

Molly, you were my best friend from the time I can remember. You were always there to listen or to curl up next to me on the couch to take a nap. You were always willing to take a walk or play games to take my mind off of everything else. You were always at the door when I got home, full of kisses and wagging your tail. Thank-you for hanging on to life for as long as you did. I still walk in the front door and look for you. It rips my heart out when I remember that you're not going to come running. I miss you more than I ever thought possible. I still cry every time I look at your picture or hear your name. I could never thank you enough for all of the wonderful memories you have shared with me. Rest in peace, Baby Girl, without the pain that took you away from me. Keep watching for me, because we'll be together again. I remember you always, and love you forever.

Sara

Molly was a gentle, kind, loving, loyal companion to me and my wife and a big sister to my 2 children. She had lymphoma carcinoma. She managed to live happily for 3 months after diagnosed with this cancer. My family and friends will miss her, but remember all of the fond memories. She is in peace now and that is what matters the most. We love you Molly!

Steve Stein

You were the most wonderful companion to all my children!  
You played hard with my teenager, rough housed with my 7 year old and the best cookie stealer with my 1 year old. How you and he figured out that trick, I'll never know. Molly you were a very loving and beautiful dog!

B. Pezzella

To Molly, a very Loving and Sweet Dalmatian. You came into my life and gave total love to me. You taught everyone that came in contact with you that being deaf did not take away any qualities to be a loving companion. The world that knew you loved you completely. I will miss you so much!

Lois Higginbotham

We will miss you Molly Jane. Visit us in our dreams when you are not showing off all your fancy tricks to the other dogs. Love you forever. Wait for us, we will be looking for you.

Chris & Mike

My dearest sweet little Molly...yesterday I had to let you go in peace. You had tried so hard to fight the disease that was showing no mercy. I will always remember you curling up next to me to sleep...giving as much love and comfort to me as I tried to give to you. Words cannot express the sadness and loneliness I feel now that you are no longer here for me to talk to and hold.  
Our daily walks were the best part of my days...walking in the sunshine...I'm glad we had that one last walk before finding out how ill you were. Today I went for our walk...it may have looked like I was alone, but I know you were at my side.  
Everyone that knew you, loved you and will miss you. You're cute little circus dog "dance" made people smile. You always made me proud of you, you were so well behaved. You taught me well.  
I'm sure you've found Lucy and Penny (who went before you) on Rainbow Bridge...all three of you have my eternal love and I will welcome the day when we are all united forever.  
Molly, thank you for enriching my life...you will always be in my heart and my thoughts.  
With love,  
Momma

In Loving Memory
Molly Doerr
7/4/82 - 3/21/94

It's been five years since you went away,  
but I still miss you like it was just yesterday.  
I love you very much, baby.
Love,
Mom

July 4, 1999
Today is America's 223rd birthday, and it is also Molly's 17th. (at least it would have been if she hadn't contracted cancer and passed away in 1994).

Happy Birthday, Molly. And to America too!

Love,
Mom, Jenny & Brandy

Oh, Molly! You have been gone a few short days, and my eyes search for you, while they cry their tears.  
We had a wonderful sixteen years together. The cherished moments went by way too quickly. We had a lot of fun together. I will love you and cherish you and your memory the rest of my life, my little girl. I hope and pray we will be together again someday. Thank you my little Molly girl for giving me such wonderful memories.

Your mom

Dear Molly,
Never have I ever had a more devoted companion than you...
You will always be in my heart, you will always be a part of me.
I love you still and always will.

Susan Claffey

Molly *stop that* Mayhem you came to me one cold raining October night. You were only about 5 weeks old.. too young to be away from your mother. Full of fleas! At that time I had Ripley ( the Cairn Terror ), Geordi ( the Siamese stray ) and Ian ( the ferret ). I thought perhaps you just got lost. Then I noticed you were covered with fleas. I don't know what happened but I could guess that you were brought home by some child and were promptly given the boot. Luckily, I had some flea spray safe enough to use on you. You got drenched with it. But Ian was there to take your mind off all your discomfort. You guys just loved to play. Ian thought you were another ferret. You probably thought he was a kitten. He taught you everything you ever needed to know about 'how to be a ferret'. Well at least the part on how to find a good drink of water. Just spill Mom's big cup of water over. Plenty of water there. And after you were all flea free you sat on top of my monitor and drooled on my keyboard. That's when I knew.. I had four kids then.

You were always such a watercat. I enjoyed it when you'd visit me while I was taking a bath. You'd sit on the edge of the tub.. play with the bubbles.. and perhaps drink some of the warm soapy water ( YUK!! ) You'd always come by and make sure I was starting my day on a good note. I know I had the perfect calico cat. Even coloring all around.. except for that little 'smudge' on your left chin.. But that was because you couldn't stand still while God was painting you. You just couldn't stand still.

Finally, we moved into our own house.. and you got very busy getting rid if the mice. Although you were guided by a ferret.. you never lost sense of your cat-ness. And cats like milk I had always heard.. but you would only dip you paw for the dredges of my milk with your left paw. No matter how difficult the stance.. you just had to dip with the left paw.

You will always be in my heart Molly, my hunter, my watercat, my southpaw, I miss you so much. I know Ian was there to greet you when you crossed over. And now you two are together again.

Karen

Molly,

We shared a love for almost 15 years. I loved and cherished you each and every day. You were there for me in my time of need and I will never forget your unconditional love and comfort. This bond can't be seen but only felt in my heart. Someday the tears will stop but I will never cease caring for and loving you.

Mary Weatherford

A mixed-breed darling, Molly was for nine years the beloved pet of her family. She has been gone for a long time, but brought so much joy into the lives of her beloved family that she will never be forgotten.

Janice Stevens

My little angel,

how I miss you!!! not a day goes by without me thinking about you, without me missing you. Life is not the same since you died. I feel like a huge part of me died with you. Making the decision to put you to sleep was the hardest thing I have ever done but watching you suffer the last few weeks was worse. I want you to know how much I love you and how much your unconditional love and affection has meant to me over the last six years. I will never forget you or what you've done for me. Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge with your sister Katie and I promise someday I will meet you both there. Sweet dreams sweet angel.

Angela

Molly B. was a wonderful sweet Westie and loved by all who met her. She was a very special girl. She is sadly missed by her Mom & Dad.

We lost two very special souls named Bridgie & Molly when we sent them on to the Rainbow Bridge....to be free of the pain of their earthly bodies and to be together. They started life together, as sisters, and died peacefully together. We will miss them very much......always.

Roger & Patti Gossett

Molly Golly, Doogy Woggy, Puppy Wuppy, You just had to chase that rabbit into deep grass where the snake lay coiled. I wish I had been faster in getting to you, I wish I knew the words to comfort you, I wish I had never unhooked the leash so you could taste a little freedom. I'll miss you.

The Milford Family

Molly by golly, our 18yr old goat. Funniest creature you'd ever want to see. She got a devilish look in her eye's when she would see our three dogs. As old as she got, she loved to terrorize them She died Nov. of 98 and we still shed tears thinking of her. The dogs will still run barking to all the windows looking for her if we mistakenly ring her bell. She was shy but once she knew who you were, she wanted all of your "scratchings" and really enjoyed her winter blanket on those cold nights. She could almost put it on herself. She always had to be next to us if we were outside. We miss her and We still shed tears thinking of her. She definitely was quite a part of our family for a long time..

Angel and Casey

We wish to add this tribute to our gentle, precious angel we lost in 1997. We miss you Molly and we look forward to the day we meet you once again at Rainbow Bridge. Take care of everyone there and know that our love for you will always keep us close at heart. Mom and Dad

Molly was a very special part of our family. She was a very humble and intelligent dog. She became sick very quickly. We found her early Sunday morning just laying around. We picked her up and wrapped her in a blanket. We called the Vet, He said to give her an aspirin and some gatorade. She took very little. Later on she just seemed to drift off to sleep. We don't believe she was ever in pain. For that we are thankful. She is now at the rainbow bridge with Max and Maggie. We will see them all one day. God bless Molly.

Chris and Diane Cranford

Dear Molly May,

Although your time was short, you touched so many lives, and ours are better having known you. We will always miss the way you'd appear from nowhere when the cracker box rattled, and how you'd fetch the paper every morning rain or shine, and the way you'd jump in the water after your toys and swim for hours with the kids never wanting it to end and most of all how you'd lay by our feet or snuggle on the floor with us. Just knowing you were close by was a comfort to us all. We know you're in a safe place now, Molly, where you can run with no boundaries. We miss you so much Molly. You'll be in our hearts forever.

With all our love, Mom, Dad, Pat & Kelly Rose

Molly you left your home today. You were a special friend always gentle and free with your kisses. I will miss you and the special love you gave of so freely. I tried my best to give you a happy and healthy home and you returned your gratitude without hesitation. I will miss you little paws tucked up under my chin at bedtime and your gentle kiss goodnight. I know you are at peace now. Your vision restored and able to run and play with your friend Willy. I miss you and will see you again when I cross over to the rainbow bridge. All my love and nose rubs. Your MOM

Molson you were the coolest kitty ever. When we brought you home we thought you were the goofiest kitty we'd ever seen, but then you grew up to be strikingly handsome. You've always had a very gentle and loving nature, even when Bruiser was a pup and dragged you around by your tail. You've been a wonderful companion and friend for the last 10 years, my how the time went too quickly. I wasn't ready to lose you. Losing you to kidney failure was sudden and unexpected, but I know you at peace now. Cori (your feline companion for 10 years) has been very lonely, as we all have. Megan misses giving you hugs and kisses on your soft head. I miss your incredible presence, but I know we will meet again someday.

We all miss you very much and love you forever and always.  
Love  
Carolyn, Mike, Megan, Madison, Cori, and Bruiser

We will always miss you and forever have you in our hearts, you made our lives better and it will be very hard to adjust to not having you here. You indeed were our best friend.

Berlinberg Family

When Momma was a kitten she was unwanted by an irresponsible owner and dumped in the conservation land in back of where I lived. She eventually had kittens and those kittens had kittens forming a feral colony. All the cats were trapped, speutered and released back into their territory. They came every morning and night to eat and even learned that the house was not a bad place. Momma was their leader and watched over her children and grandchildren. When I moved to my own house everyone was trapped but Momma didn't get caught that night. After the movers left I went back to try to get her but she wasn't around. Her children were lost without her. 2 nights later I was able to get her and bring her home where she was joyously greeted by her colony. She lived a good life with plenty of food, shelter and a warm house if she chose to come in. It used to be said that feral cats lived only 3-4 years. Momma was 9 1/2 years old and died this week during surgery. She is missed by me but mostly she is missed by the remaining members of her colony, daughter Matryoshka, grand-daughters L-kit and Betsy and grandson Prince.

Judy

Momma Kitty was my best friend. I helped her raise her babies, she helped me raise mine. Whenever I was sad, sick or lonely she was always there. I will miss her more than anything.

Debbie Moore

Please pray for me. The loss of my Adrianne is unbearable. I loved her so much. Like a parent must love their child. She has been a part of my life for the majority of my life. She was so much more to me than a cat. Thanks Adrianne for all the LOVE.

Adrianne honey, you and I will always be together, Always. Time will stand still in my heart from this day forward until the end of my life and we are reunited once again, forever. Go and be in Jesus' wonderful light. And remember our little agreement that we made that you would be my little Guardian Angel and watch over me the way I watched over you for 22 years(since I was just a little boy). You will always be MY Best girl Adrianne. I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Ken Jamel

MoMo, Its been almost two months since you left us so suddenly, but I still hear your pink paws bouncing across the roof, I still feel your soft fluffy fur in my hands, and I still hear your continuous purring, my little "Motor Mouth. " You came to us as a Christmas gift walking up the driveway one cold night so long ago. We decided to keep you until we found a home for you, not knowing you had already adopted us!! You gave us much joy in your all-too-brief time with us. You were always happy, always purring! Boomer has left us and is now with you, and I'm sure you are both frolicking at the Rainbow Bridge with Doc and Rip waiting for us. I miss you! I love you, MoMo.

Evelyn

Mom-Mom... When you left so suddenly, we gave you a piece of OUR hearts to take with. And you, in return, left us with the joy of your LOVE which we will cherish for all of our lifetime. Until we meet again, our love...

Dave & Pam

Mona, you were the best dog I could ever ask for. You were always so loyal and kind. You were a part of our family for 12 years, and those years were the greatest. You know every single one of my secrets. Whenever I would get mad at Mom, Dad, or Em I would just go to you. You were such a great listener. Now you aren't here with us, and I miss you so much. I am sorry we had to put you to sleep, but It was the best thing for you. You had a tumor inside of you as big as a cantaloupe, and we didn't want you to have to suffer like that. But now you are in Heaven watching us, and continuing to guard our home. We miss you and love you, Mona. You will always be in our hearts~forever.

Love,
Laura

Monae: It wont matter what I say it will never be enough or come out the right way. She was like a dream a shadow in the mist so perfect and mystical. She seamed to understand and she always knew, everything. She was watchful and kind loving and caring. Monae was everything you could ever want and more. The only comfort I find is in the thought that she's with us always and she is free to run with nothing to stand in her way. No cars to worry me or kid's to cling to you. and were always here and she s in our heart and part of our soul. She will be missed and thought of often. She was the only female dog I've ever owned and I don't think I would ever find another to compare and after 14 yr's I'm not sure I would like to try since she would be a hard act to follow. thanks for your thought for this kind of site it's nice to share that special someone in my life with other people who can understand.
Sincerely,
Laura

Mon Ami was truly "My Friend". He came to me when I was first moving out of my parents home and into my first apartment. That year he decided to be the "angel" on my Christmas tree, by climbing up it in the middle of the night! There he was hanging from the top branch...eyes as big as saucers! I will miss him as when it feels as though there is no one in the world that understands...he did. He ignored my kids and tolerated my husband and was truly my friend in every sense of the word. He has been suffering with diabetes since October and Friday it was time for me to be his pal and let him go. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. As my little girl said..."It is alright mom, he will be up in Heaven with Jamie (our baby) now." We love you Mon Ami and miss you more than words can say!
Here's to bath water! Love, Denise

Misha was a beautiful shaded silver Persian. He was a huge cat, very loving most of the time. He also behaved like our watch cat part of the time. He was well loved and will be missed for a long time.

Jean

You have been with me for over 17 years. You have been there for the Good, bad and sad times in my life. I will not forget all the Love you gave me. You were always there to meet me at the door when I came home no matter how you felt. Now you are in HEAVEN waiting for me and one day we will be together again. I will love you always.

Jerry & Terry

When Monet found me, he was a scrawny, ant-bitten little kitten with the funniest paws. They were as big as his little body. It was love at first sight. I brought him home and he purred the whole way there. It was like we were meant to find each other. Well, Monet was quite the trickster. He would stand on his hind legs and open the screen door on our back porch and escape. Well, once we blockaded the door, Monet (being the inventive and smart cat he was) made a small hole in the screen and escaped on a daily basis, only to "grin" in self-satisfaction at his exploits. At first, we didn't realize how he was getting out. We have a large screened in area over a pool and the hole was well hidden. Once again, we blocked the hole but yet again, he escaped. That was on a Tuesday..well, by Thursday, when he had not returned, I had a sick feeling and a premonition that he was not o.k. After searching the neighborhood, I got in my car to go to the gym. It was a way to get my mind off of his disappearance. On the way there I found him. I knew the minute I saw the big gray paws by the side of the road that my baby was gone. We had a "funeral" but I still miss him every day. I never imagined losing a pet could hurt so much. I look forward to seeing my Monet again someday..until then, I hope he enjoys his exploits in heaven. (chasing all the birds)

Susan

It is so hard for me to sit and write anything about our Mo Mo, since we made the final trip to the vet tonight. My wife, Mary Ellen, is completely devastated, as am I. We have a very difficult time understanding in our minds how it was the right thing to do, that after nearly 17 years of being our Baby, of giving us her undying and unselfish love, that it could be anything BUT the right thing to do. After all Monita DID give us, we owed it to her to take care of her. After all, isn't that our charge from the Creator, to take care of the animals which He has placed on the earth for us? We will ALWAYS remember our Furbaby, with a sense of pride and deep love in our hearts, for she was the little light that would get us through the tough times. She has gone on to her well-deserved rest, to play with all the other dogs in our lives. She will be with her Grammy and Grampy, who preceded her to their eternal rest. Someday, we will cross that Bridge together. We all love you, Monita!! May God watch over you always, and you over us, until the time that we can share Eternity together.

Love,  
Daddy, Mommy, Kerry, Christopher and Katie

My tribute to Monita--
It will never be the same going "home" again. How can it be home when my little buddy is not there to greet me?

Since the day I picked Monita out of the litter almost 17 years ago, she has been my buddy. The one who greeted me every day with more happiness than any human ever could. The one who made me smile when I was sad, scared, or alone. The one friend who has always been there for me--which is more than I can say for any human. The little barking voice every morning when I left for school or came home in the evening from work or play--barking at the sound of my keys, my parents said. But I think she was really saying, "Good-bye, have a nice day!" or "Welcome home! I missed you! Now give me some attention!"

I miss her already, and I have not been able to travel home to pay my respects to her, my friend, my puppy, my little piece of sunshine from heaven. So, even though I mourn for her, I dread the impact of walking into that home and having no wagging blonde tail, no happy cries, no stretches on my leg, no "Hey there, big sis! Great to see you!" to greet me. No little Fur Ball resting her head on Mommy's slipper, laying on her pillow when I walk downstairs, or getting the first glance at the Sunday paper after Mommy.

I think she knew--she knew I loved her and the rest of our family loved her. And she left this world for a better place a happy puppy because she was loved. I KNOW she knew that it was her time, that Mommy and Daddy could not let her suffer anymore, and that is why she left this world in peace.

I miss you, my Baby Doll, my Fur Ball, my Mo-Mo, my buddy, Grammy and Grampy's "Blondie," my "Giz Mo-Mo," my "Sweetie Pie Hugga Bunch!", my bestest friend. Many happy "ear mesnages" to you, Sweetie. I just wish I could give them to you one last time on your soft, sweet ears! I will never forget you, my lil' Nita! I love you. Love always, your "sister," Kerry

Monkey was an awesome cat....she had the most awkward sense of humor you could ever imagine.....She would sit in the middle of the road and make cars either go around her or move her....we lived in a quite neighborhood...everyone knew exactly where Monk would lay..most of them would go around her, the ones that truly loved her, would actually get out of their cars and pick her up and move her......she was to sweet.....My mom was crushed.....that was her baby......she had raised that cat form a kitten...she named her Monkey because she seriously looked like a Monkey.....But as all stories go, my baby died....she was just to old........she was a loyal and faithful cat, we loved her then and we love her now, always and forever!!!

Domie was my special friend for almost 15 years. All she ever gave was her unconditional love. She wasn't just a Borzoi that I bred. We always had a very special bond between us. Domie was the first pup born in her litter and the last to pass to the Rainbow Bridge. I will never forget her. She will always be in my heart.

Edyth Monsour

Monster,
You will always be with us, never forgotten. Your life was not very long but we tried to fill it with as much love and joy as we could. You were and still are an important member of this family. We buried you right underneath our bedroom window. That way you can always be with us. Monster, we know that you will never run through the house again or jump into our laps but you are always with us in our hearts. You were a special, wonderful cat with such a sweet personality. You made our family whole and we will always love you for that.

John and Natalie Morales

Monty was way too young to leave but he is on his way to Rainbow Bridge and he will see Blackie, Freddie and Sugar and they I know will be there to guide him on his journey...

Susan James

...We got you Monty at the cat adoption center at the carnival, you were picked on by a mean black cat that had to share your kennel with you. we decided to rescue you from him. You were always so playful and scratched me so, but I knew you were kidding, and so was I when I said "I wish Monty would leave me forever so you wouldn't scratch me" and so you did. you left me forever, I'm sorry, but I guess its too late for that.

Lil

Remembering Monty
(12/25/90 - 3/2/99)

You were a sweet little dog. I remember the first day we brought you home; you cried all night until I got up to keep you company. I can still see your little face peeking out from under the table. You never grew out of hating to be left alone and, when I was home, you were always where I was.

The house is so quiet now. Too quiet. I miss the sound of you snoring at my feet, I miss the sound of your little puppy-feet clicking on the tile, I miss you nudging me asking for a treat. I turn around and expect you to be there and you aren't. I knew it would be hard to say goodbye, but I never dreamed I'd be this devastated. I know one day I will laugh again, but today my heart is heavy, it feels like a piece of me is missing.

You brought us such joy and love over the years, and you were my devoted companion. My little Monty, my buddy. I will always remember you.

He was everybody's friend and the "peace keeper" with the other pets. We miss him terribly.

Ralph W & Pat Trent

It has taken me a long time to come to terms with the death of a dog that I tried so hard to help. he was an SPCA rescue, and had been badly abused. I gained his trust and devotion, but he still would not trust people in general, and due to his fear and obvious distress at being around people, he had to be euthanized. a picture of me and my pal resides on my computer desk, and he still gets to hear all of my life's little woes.

Louise

Mooftie was tough and sweet, and she fought her illness for as long as she could. Her kindness and loyalty and companionship will be greatly missed.
I hold her always in the love of my heart.

Kathy

Moomoo (Ch Fabert`s Harvest Moon) was our friend, she was the best of friends. Till the end she kept loving us and did even wag her tail when we whispered to her. Now gone to Heaven we miss you so my darling but at last your suffering as ended. There will never be another one like you. Till we meet again please keep a place near you for us. Love Mom, Dad, and Maxime

Françoise Allard, Robert Brousseau

My dog Moon died and we all miss her so much. I love you Mooney.

Suzi

You were such a good cat and we miss you.

Dan and Lori

"The sun's on your withers and the wind in your mane." Our hearts ache, but you left us Bailey to fill some of the void. We will all work hard to fulfill the promise to take care of her for you - from your "real mama" Pam, to Mamma Carol, Aunt Pam, and Daddy Jim. Run free with Random, Bucky, Sherry and Chloe. Circle H is a lot smaller without you.

Moonie was the first cat I've ever adopted, but really, he adopted me. I've always been a Dog Person, but love all animals. He gave me so much and put up with a lot too.  
He was intelligent, loving, had a mischievous sense of humor and the most INCREDIBLE purr of any cat I've ever come across. It was almost symphonic in its dimensions, and he was always so generous with it. He bore with a beautiful resigned dignity becoming an indoor cat, and accepted her with grace (eventually) and affection when I got him a lovely little female tabby for companionship. He died so suddenly yesterday morning and I still don't understand why it happened or exactly what happened. He was sitting on the windowsill with his friend watching the birds, as he did every morning, when he either had a cerebral hemorrhage or possibly hit his head so hard on the window frame that the head injury was too severe for him to survive. I've never felt so completely helpless & bereft. The only blessing is that I think his passing was very quick & I hope he didn't suffer. He was such a constant, calming presence our lives and now Pamina & I miss him so VERY much. It is hard to imagine being without him, but I know his spirit soared straight to Cat Heaven or wherever that place is. Goodbye Moonie and bless you.

Emily

To our beloved girl. You will always be warm in our hearts.

Ken & Deb

Moonshine was put to rest late Sunday night. He was only 7 months old. He was sickly most of his life. Last week, he was diagnosed with FIP. His fever got the best of him, and on Sunday night, he suffered severe neurological damage and had begun to have seizures. This has been very difficult because he was such a young cat. He was a foster cat for a local humane society, but had been in my care since he was 8 weeks old. It has been very difficult because the support that I need. and expected, isn't there. I would appreciate any thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I've never lost such a young animal to such a horrible disease. Please keep my resident cats in your minds, that they too don't contract this horrible disease.

Amanda

Moonshine was my baby for almost 19 years. We went through so much together good times and bad. I miss her dearly for her love, companionship, loyalty and personality. She was very unique and genuine who loved being outdoors and on my lap. My life will be empty without her. She will never be forgotten.

Becky Humphrey

I loved Moorea. She was the sweetest li'l kitty. She was going to be turning 3 years old soon. Taken way too soon. She was beautiful. Her mother rejected her at an early age and we raised her from the very beginning. To the end, she would nuzzle into your armpit as if she were getting milk. So cute! I miss her so much! She's the first pet I've had to die from being hit by a car. She will never be forgotten.

Tricia

Moose was a wonderful dog. He was old..but always faithful. We had to put him to sleep. I wish that he was still alive. Moose was so fun to play with when he was young. We had to put him down because he had arthritis and what it appeared to be as skin cancer. He didn't have much of a life anymore. All he did was eat, sleep, drink, and go to the bathroom. Literally. So this was very difficult to do. We all miss him very much. We love him.
WE LOVE YOU MOOSE WHERE EVER YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laura

To my beloved Moosey May, you were a great horse and I miss the way you greeted me every time I came to see you and the way that you would nicker every time you saw me. You and I are best friends and you will always be in my heart. I wish you were still here. You were the BEST animal in the whole world. I always want to see you. I will always remember our trip to Shawnee National Forest and how we swam together and you loved it. The way you would do anything for me makes me so proud of you. The awesome way you used to carry me over jumps as though you were reaching to the sky. I wish you were still here. Everybody loved you, you have touched everyone's hearts who knew you. I know you and Gertie weren't friends very much but you loved Rolnan and I am sorry to say that he just passed away a few days ago and I hope that you and Rolnan are playing together. I will always miss you. From the first time I rode you when I was only 4 years old you took care of me. I tried to take care of you and I loved you with all of my heart. I would never love anyone in the whole world as much as I love you. I saw a horse that looked exactly like you but was never and never will be you. You are a very special individual. I thank you for the seven special years that I had with you and you will always live in my heart. I wish there had been something I could have done to save you but all I could do was say goodbye to not let you suffer. I remember the last time I saw you your eyes were blue and you were brave, braver than anything I have ever seen. I wish you could have seen my new puppy Misty you two would have been great friends. I think that you sent her to me because when we were looking for a Great Dane we found this litter and they sent us a video and I picked out Misty and then we found out that her nick name was Moo Moo (just like your nick name - Moo May). I will always remember you and love you. You were the best horse in the world. I hope you are happy where you are. I hope you know that I will always love you and you will always be in my heart no matter what happens. Alex has not been happy at all since you died. He is not eating very well and he is letting Dreamer push him around. Before we moved he would always stand over the spot where you went down in the pasture. He will always remember you and never be as happy as he was while you were here with us. I just have one question why did it have to be you?

To sum it up you were and are the best horse in the world and I will always be with you in my heart.

Love FOREVER,
Tricia

You were loved!

KR

A dog in a million. My all.... my reason for living... and yet, through his death he has kept on giving in a way that is beyond words. I miss you.... but I know we will meet again. I love you, sweet, sweet dog.

Mariah

Morgan,
We are so sad to have seen you pass on, so suddenly, and at such a young age.
I wish I could have done something more for you sweetheart. It was God's will honey.
We hope you enjoyed your time here with us, because we certainly enjoyed every moment we spent with you, and we will cherish the memories for years to come.
You are very special to us, and we won't ever forget the impact you had on our lives.
All your silly tricks, your little flips against the wall...the way you hung your legs over your chair, woke me up in the morning pawing at my face...laid on my lap, and of course, all of our playtime memories.
Who can forget your curly whiskers?! You were so silly, so beautiful, and so much fun to have around.
We'll never forget taking you home, and watching you fall asleep that first night. Thank you for being there for me when I was sick--for sleeping on my chest, and for comforting us both, when we were sad.
No other cat will ever take your place. You're our little sweetheart Morgan, and you always will be.
You are our little guardian angel now, so please watch over us in our times of need.
I feel your spirit is still with me, early in morning, on my pillow where you used to lay. I miss you so much. I am praying for you, and I hope all is well in kitty-heaven.
I know you are with the Lord. We won't forget you, and we will visit your place of rest often.
Look for us up in heaven little buddy, we'll be looking for you. Friends forever.

We Love You Always and Forever,
Michelle (Momma)
Robert (Daddy)

Morgan was a beautiful dog. He just wasn't meant to be here at this time. I hope that God will give him another chance so that all the wonderful qualities will come out and the bad will be left behind. Our prayers and all the love we have will always be with him. For he will always be in the hearts that loved him.

Jim and Robb

I shall walk in the sun alone  
Whose golden light you loved.  
I shall sleep alone  
and, stirring, touch an empty place.  
I shall write uninterrupted  
Would that your fleeting paw would stay my moving pen just once again.  
I shall go on living day by day  
But I will not, can not  
Forget.  
Sleep soft, dear friend,  
for while I live  
you shall not die.

Special dogs are sometimes replaced, but never equaled.

Mary Bryant

We love him so much and miss him so much.

God, please hold him close and care for him until we see him again.

God, please help heal our hearts and fill the void.

We love you Morrie...you are the best friend we have had.

Amen.

To our little tough guy.  
For all the love you so unselfishly gave,  
all the smiles and laughs you brought to our face.  
You took us in many years ago, and have always been the quiet voice of life through the years.  
You've seen friends new and old, come and go, and you've always been there.  
You lived a good life, doing what you wanted to do, and loving it.  
We love you so much, and will always miss you and remember you.  
May peace be with you forever, and you find your friends you've lost through the years, and be reunited over the rainbow bridge.

We love you Mossie!

Morsel was a wild bunn orphaned at a just a day old. I tried my best to raise you till you were big enough to set free, but it just wasn't meant to be. I would never trade our short time to know each other, even knowing now how it would end. You taught me so much and showed me such love, I hope you are happy and free at the bridge. One day we will meet again. I love you Morsel.

Stacie Beard

I brought Mortice home in November of 1993 and I had to let her go yesterday, April 26, 1999.  
During her all to brief life she gave me more love and comfort than I could have ever asked for.  
It always seems those we love so much leave us too soon. My heart is broken, but she is at peace now and that is some comfort. I remember a line from the movie Shadowlands - "The pain now is part of the happiness then... that's the deal".  
Mortice, I love you, miss you and you will always be in my heart - Someday we'll be together again,  
please wait for me, I'll be looking for you.

We love you and miss you Mort.
Love, Mom (Lori), Boo and Zoey

Tish was really my Mom's cat, but she does not have a computer.
We joined the family about the same time. For the first 14 years of my life I never knew a day without her. She taught me, and my brother, what it meant to love a cat. She allowed us to pet her, but we had to respect her space. She remained aloof with strangers, yet played with her young humans. She protected her humans and her house, and trained the kittens. No one has come close to taking her place.

It has been almost 20 years since the Grand Old Lady left our lives, but she is still remembered with love, laughter and some tears.

"You are still loved and missed, Granny."

Although we only had Morty since December, he was a joyful part of our family. This little bunny had so much spunk and energy. He was always happy and loved to be out "binkying" in the living room. His favorite past time was to chase the cats! He was rambunctious, energetic and loveable. He would race around the living room, totally exhausting himself, then flop down all sprawled out, but only for a minute! Then he was off and running again. He suffered from pasteurella and although he was a fighter, he passed on this morning after a short bout with pneumonia. He will be greatly missed, we loved him dearly. We know that he is happy, doing the bunny dance at the rainbow bridge.

Carrie & Heather Henderson

My sweet doggie of 16 years, I will miss you forever. Rest happily in Heaven.

Ilona

His name was Moses and he came to me because his owner no longer wanted him---he was born 7/91--------and he died 6/23/95 of irreversible kidney/liver disease because the previous owner had allowed him to chew wood with old paint with lead content. But he came to me just 2 weeks before my mom died and the day she died he came down off his playpen and climbed onto the couch where I was and snuggled down next to me as if to say: "its okay, I am here" he had only tolerated me until this day--from then on we were constant "buddies" and he was my "soul mate" truly. He was god's gift to me ----when I really needed him. He was with me 3 years and is truly watching me from "Rainbow Bridge" - It has been 4 years and I still cry for my "baby".

Fran

Mosey -- We remember you. We love you. We hope to be with you again soon. Until that day, run and be your wonderful purring self and play with Ichabod and Teewinot. Your sister Mariah and your brother Zachary Moses.

Linda Lindley

Moses was a great blessing.
You will be dearly missed.
We love you always, sweet Moses

Mary Ann

Best friend a guy could ask for and greatly missed.

Stanley

Another best friend a guy could ask for and greatly missed.

Stanley

You came in to my life when God knew I'd need someone to love and to look to for comfort for the many years that were to follow.
You were always there and I miss you to this very day.
Till we cross rainbow bridge together, you are forever in my heart......

Julie Brandt

As anyone who has ever had pets knows, there comes along just once in a lifetime that special one. The one with whom there is a deep rapport and a depth of attachment that will not happen again. Mouse was such to me. The runt of the litter, she weighed in at a hefty 8 1/2 pounds at most, but she ruled our home and our hearts with an iron paw. It was a month before I could even write the following and even now my sense of loss is tempered only by the passage of time. Still, I know that I will never again have that kind of rapport with any pet and that thought makes me feel sad sometimes.
NOTED: A PASSING
With a depth of sadness I have never felt before, I must report that Mouse passed away on December 11, 1996. At 17 years, 9 months, her body could go no farther and we made the heart-wrenching decision to spare her any suffering. I held her as her soul departed, leaving only an empty husk of what was once, to some just an animal, but was, to me, my friend, my child, my giver of unconditional love for 17 years, 7 1/2 months. I just hope that, wherever she is, she has a sunny window, a soft warm place to sleep and someone who will love her as I did.....and knows just where she likes being scratched under her chin.

Amy

Mouser was the sweetest cat, with the loudest, rumbliest purr. I love her very, very much and I will miss her greatly. The pain of our separation is awful, and I will miss her forever, as will those who knew her.  
Mouser, my baby, I won't forget you.

Becky

Go on now boy. Be on your way.
I'll be there to hold you again, someday.
Love you Mouse Mouse

Rick

Mouser adopted us in 1981.. She came into my life when I really needed her. She loved us and we adored her. Soon, she became the matriarch of our household. When she was pleased and when she wasn't, she told us! She was so smart and very patient with those of us who didn't have her intelligence. She devised ways to make us understand just exactly what she had in mind because she realized that we weren't clever enough to communicate by mental telepathy as she and her fellow creatures could do. Mouser was with us for 13 years. We miss her and think of her often. Love and head nudges, Mouser.

Catherine Bowser

My childhood friend. Thanks for all the purrs.

O'Brien's

You will always be so beautiful. I miss you so much already. You take good care of Scruffy, Oscar, Darcy, and all the others who need you. You will always live on inside of my heart.

Michael Davis

We pray that Mootzie is happy and well and that he knows we will always love him.

Ralph and Wayne

I'd like to say that my dog Mozart was a very wonderful dog! He was always there for me and he was never mean. He even helped me get my first boyfriend!!! I really loved him and hope he is not dead yet but he is on death row at a shelter because of the heat and a kid. A kid was teasing Mozart and he bit him and he had to go to an animal shelter I believe or the dog pound. But I loved him very much!!!!!!!

Sarah

Running beside us she will always be  
Tail wagging  
A spirit free and full of joy  
Heart beating Happiness  
The angel loves love  
And the love loves her  
Embracing her  
Lifting her  
Weightless  
The cloud is lifted as a single beam of light  
Fills us as she becomes a part of all things  
Endless joy, endless love

Laura and Raymond

He was the best cat but every thing dies and he was not going to last much longer.

Kelty

Mr. Bear always loved, always understood, always forgave. I could never love him as much as he deserved, even if he and I both had lived a thousand lifetimes.

Celeste

Still loved and dearly missed.

Jeanette Smith

Attention All CATS...One of your BEST has Fallen

Elaine, Devon and Brittany

We have lost our best friend and are heartbroken. He came to us two years ago through a Seattle Dog Rescue and immediately stole our hearts. We loved him so much. He became a registered therapy dog (through Delta Society) and we spent a lot of time at nursing homes and in inpatient rehab getting people to use hands, legs etc. that had been affected by a stroke or brain injury. They received therapy that was painful but Mr. Bill eased that pain and they forgot their troubles for a few brief minutes. He had a real presence about him, stoic, wise, but could be silly as well. Bill and I would both light up when I came through the door. We adored each other. He would bark with delight and all I wanted in the world was to spend time with Bill and go on walks car trips with Bill and my husband, Ted. We packed a lifetime into two years and have many special memories. He was courageous up to the last. I still can't believe he is gone and my heart aches so much.

Mr. Bill; Willy; Bill; MeDoggy;
You were my friend, my companion, my Son. I loved you. You saved me from a life on the road. It was because of you that I made the homes we had. You were part of me for nine years. The times I got mad at you....you know I was just teaching you to be a Good Dog. And you learned...and you were. You were so You....and, after all of it, you did manage to kill that squirrel, finally, after chasing a million of them. I love you, Boy....and will never forget the time we spent together. Goodbye and God Bless.

Love you Mr Bob. You were a very special cat!

Kathy Dulin

To Mr. Buster: I felt compelled to he my best friend to do the least amount of suffering. He was a race dog from Florida. He raced for 5 years and was very much afraid of men. When I rescued him he hid in the corner for three months. I had to put everyone in the home up on the second floor to take him outside. Within a year he would go outside to pee. Later he was my best friend and at the age of eleven he could walk only for me to go out to pee. He cried too many hours, So to my best friend I love you too much Good Bye. Carol

Mr. Cat had great dignity and depth. He was a one of a kind sentient being who brought more joy to my life than could ever be expressed.
He suffered much infirmity during his lifetime and took it all like a trooper, always willing to share his Love and Light with his loved ones.
I love you, Buddy. You will ever remain in my heart.

Nancy Fischer

Mr Chief was the finest dog ever. We loved him so much.

Michael & MaryEllen

You were a very sweet bunny, and a funny bunny. We miss you hopping around the house and teasing the girls. You sure keep dad company, thanks.

Your Family

The sweetest cat that ever lived. I will always miss him.

Patricia Rosenberg

I called him my Mushy Baby, he was the most vocal of all my cats. I found Mushy and his sister Gremlin as tiny, sickly kittens under my building at work and with the help of a very kind veterinarian, nursed them back to health. I don't know what caused his death. He was fine that morning, I found him about 8 pm under the bed, dead. He didn't appear to have suffered. I feel as though my heart is constantly breaking and the guilt is enormous. I constantly think about him dying without me being there. Could I have helped?

I realize I am truly blessed for the time he was part of my life and have five other kittys that need my love, but he is and will forever be missed. GOD BLESS YOU MUSHY!

Message To My Masters

The day you laid me down to sleep  
you prayed to the Lord; my soul to keep  
I know you had to send me on my way  
but you sent me to a new; better; and much brighter day

You sent me home; to heaven above  
where I'm cradled in God's arms; covered with His love  
I understand what you did; you did out of love  
and I'll return that love; from my new home above

My sickness is gone; and I'm free here to roam.  
I run and play in the meadows; here in my new home  
We play here by the Bridge; from morning to night  
there is no rain here; just warm sunlight

I know you all miss me; I miss you all too  
but I'll always be with you; whatever you do  
Please wipe the tears; from your weeping eyes  
by remembering the good times; from days gone by

When you look out; into the dark of night  
I'll be that bright star; your guiding light  
We'll meet again at the Bridge one day  
when we'll walk in the light; together to stay

Jana Rogers

I'm convinced Mr. Pitty was an angel sent to me seven months ago during a very sad and lonely time of my life. He arrived on my front doorstep emaciated, but full of love. Despite his mangled ear, lack of teeth, extra toes, and malnutrition, he gave me all the love I needed so desperately. I took him in and got him all of the vet care he needed and returned all of the love he so willingly offered. But, I guess angels can't stay down here forever, so today I had to say my tearful goodbye. I say that I took him in, but, in truth, he took me in, and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you, Mr. Pitty!

Kelly

He was my best guy
He will truly be missed.

Barbara Hann

Only 3 years old. My wonderful friend Mr. Small is gone tonight. Beautiful black rescue kitty, with the softest, warmest coat. You will be missed my friend. I will meet you at the rainbow bridge. I will run to you dear kitty and hold you again. Forgive me for your death, I am so sorry. You will not be forgotten. Love, mama

Cindi McVeety

T.

I will miss you. The day before you died you've must have known it was your last day on earth. You were running around like a puppy and so happy. But the next day you couldn't get up. You were in so much pain you couldn't walk. I took you to the vet and he told me that you had hip displasia and it seemed a shame to put you through all that pain and recovery. I told the doctor that I didn't want to see you go through that and just let you sleep. T, you had 13 good years and for a big dog I didn't expect you to go this long. But you had a big heart and that's why you lived so long. When I see a rainbow I know that your at the bridge playing with your mom and jr. Until we meet at the rainbow bridge. I will always love you.

Mom

You grace our lives for such a short time, but you will be in our hearts forever...

John & Valerie

To my beautiful Wilson, lost much too soon in a tragic accident. I love and miss you boy.

Ann Murray

I adopted Mrs. Garfield from the SPCA booth at the San Jose Flea market when she was only five weeks old and she gave me nearly nineteen years of love, companionship, and joy. "Smoochie" as we often called her loved me better than anyone has. She moved across country with my husband and always "ruled the roost" in our home. At night she would sleep between my husband and I, often nuzzled right up against my cheek. Although she has been gone for 6 months, never a day goes by that I don't think of her. I have other wonderful pets in my home that I love dearly, but none will ever equal Mrs. Garfield - my friend and my soulmate. I will always be grateful for the years of unconditional love she gave to me.

Monica Kinley-Kuhn

Pippy was loved by everyone who met her. She is dearly missed by her loving family.

Arlene

We Love You!!!!!!

Although there is a terrible pain in our hearts, we know you are now in a safe place

Barbara Crawford and Family

Dearest puppy,

Thank you for being such a close friend for over half my life. I'm grateful that you chose me as your person, and I love you dearly. I miss you - be well.

JEM

I will always remember the fun times we used to have playing tug o'war with our toys and chasing the birds and squirrels from our yard. I love and miss you. Peg

Mucki you will always be in my heart. I will not forget you for you were my first animal and gave my unconditional love always. We had only good times. Love Moni

Muffie came into our life in early April 1987 while answering an ad for golden retriever puppies. Muffie was the mother of seven beautiful puppies but upon seeing the mother we just fell in love with her. She was skin and bones under a heavy coat of fur that she got while lost in the foothills of the Adirondacks in upstate New York during the cold winters of the area. She had been found almost frozen and almost starved by a small town dog warden who took her in and nursed her back to health. Two weeks later she gave birth to her puppies.  
When we laid eyes on her it was love at first sight she had so much personality and a glint in her eyes that let you know she would be a handful and she sure was. Bringing her home two weeks later started one of the most beautiful times of our lives, she was like an entertainment center. Her antics with balls bones and ropes were hilarious and the fun we had on our walks will never be forgotten, she was truely a gift from God.

It didn't take Muffie long to train us in what was expected from good parents we enjoyed each other so. But as in all good things time runs its course and after almost 13 beautiful years our puppy got sick and in great pain we took her for her final ride in a driving rainstorm on Oct.23, 1999 at 1230 AM we held her in our arms as a very caring young woman vet put her out of her pain..Ours still goes on she was so complete in every way and we miss her so much. She was our dog of a lifetime and we will never forget her...

Muffies Mom and Dad (Pat and Bob)

To our beloved Muffie
Muffie these last few days without you have been very difficult on all of us. You will never know how much joy and happiness you brought to all of us. You were there through good times and bad times, never to judge any of us. You gave us unconditional love at all times. We hope that we didn't make you suffer more than you had to. We just wanted to let you know that we all loved you with all our hearts.
Till we meet again one day our sweet little baby rest in peace.

Love Jennie Jenna Alicia and Family

Muffin: You gave us 15 of the best years of our lives! You will always be in our thoughts & forever in our hearts.

Daddy & Mommy

She was the best pet I ever had. Even know I have another I still remember every thing about my little Muffin.
She was loved and will be never forgotten.

Nicole

To my best friend.... I will never forget you.

Jennifer

Our darling Muffie we think of you everyday. I know you are in good hands and are young and lively and playing with Ruthie and now Annie. We love all of you.

Also Our beloved Twinkles. God bless all of you and the angles are watching over you till we all meet again and cross to the end of bridge.

Mary and Earl Mohan

Moofer Toofer. Muffinhead. Sadie's big brother and protector. You were such a good protector. I miss those kneading claws in my arm. I miss your sweet and loving way, and your keeping the other cats in line. No one messed with your Sadie sister. I miss you baby cat.

Frank and Pamela

My home and my heart are forever empty. Your love and kisses will always be remembered for you were my dearest and truest friend. Until we meet again.....

Camille

Muffin was the most fantastic thing that happened in our lives. He was extremely intelligent and had a vocabulary of about 30 words. Sometimes we even had to spell things in front of him! In an effort to really make him bond to us, we even took him on our honeymoon! He traveled with us on just about every vacation we took. If both of us were in the same room, pretty soon here came Muff. He always wanted all three of us to be together. Although he wasn't the biggest snuggler in bed at night, he always liked to make certain that his paw was touching you. He knew how much we loved him and we knew how much he loved us. If he got frightened he would come running to us. We lost him to complications of heart disease (which we never even knew he had until a blood clot dislodged). He will always be in our hearts. We are both grieving very badly right now since he only entered eternal rest yesterday. You were the light of our life, Muffin.

Carl and Betty Moore

The very best dog ever! Muffin was my companion and the light of my life. When she was old and feeble, in my heart I saw her as the vibrant strong dog she once was. I know she is waiting for me at the rainbow bridge. If you are VERY lucky and God smiles on you, you to will get a Dachshund like Muffin.

William Petty

You were my buddy for 18 short years. I will always miss you and will love you forever.

Carol Cone

Nearly 17 years ago, a tiny little fluffball arrived into our newlywed home...his name was Muffin, a teacup poodle who quickly stole our hearts. He was truly our first baby! When our first son was born, we were told we'd forget all about Muffin, but we knew we wouldn't. And Muffin went to great lengths to show that he was very important to our new son...he'd howl at the nursery door until we came and got Stephen and he'd promptly plop himself down next to him when he was on the floor playing. And when it was time to take our son for a walk in his stroller, Muffin was right there beside him, inside the stroller. We really feel he thought Stephen was HIS baby!  
Muffin was with our family through all the firsts--first home, first baby, first Air Force move... He went with us everywhere we could take him. Though we eventually added three other little white poodles, Scooter, Nugget & Skipper, as well as six more children, Muffin was always there and always in charge. Whenever I'd go anywhere in the house, he was tucked under my arm and whenever I'd sit down to read, watch TV, do some needlework, he was right there on my lap.  
We really can't remember when we first began to notice he was slowing down. Perhaps it was when he became unable to hop up the backstairs by himself or when he couldn't hop up on the couch anymore without help. Even in his last few weeks with us, though he couldn't see well and couldn't hear well, he could still get around the house just fine, plodding along, finding the food and water dish, content to sleep beside us or be with us.  
Earlier this week, he refused food and somehow I knew there was something not quite right anymore. He became unable even to walk around the house anymore... All we could do was wrap him up, hold him, tell him how much we loved him. Having to call the vet was the most difficult thing I've ever experienced. We knew, somehow, it would be so hard whenever one of our little guys had to go, but I didn't think it would be as hard as it was. He went to sleep this afternoon, 29 July, at 3:10 pm. Our home will never be the same without our little guy.  
The little jacket he wore, even in the summer, because he got chilled easily, still has his smell to it. We can still see him plodding slowly around the house, picking his way around things. I can still feel him cuddled up to me our last night with him.  
Somehow I know we'll get through this and the grief will subside, but it's so hard now. Our son, Stephen, Muffin's "baby", is now 15 and this has been difficult on him too, as it is with our other children. I know our Muffin is at the Rainbow Bridge now, playing with his cousins, my parents' dogs Willie, Timmy & Sherry, and he's whole and well again, barking and running the way he used to. Muffin will always be with us somehow, we know... We are so grateful we had this little guy for as long as we did and we will never forget him.

The Breuer Family

We never said good-bye. We only said "Until later". We loved Muffin so much that we know we'll be joined with him again.

Larry and Debbie Hilyard

He was #1 in my book!! I miss him so much!!!!!!!!

Tammy Stegall

Muffin was ever enduring and faithful through thick and thin. She had her mind to the last breath but her body just couldn't take it any more. Eleven years and 76 days kept her at my side every night. Muffin, I miss you so much and your presence is always near. I know you are finally at peace with the Shadow, Heidi, and Cannon. Wait for us.

Liz

Muffin, you were my best friend. My day is not as bright without you in it. I think of you every day and miss you terribly. I hope that wherever you are it is a happy and carefree place. Someday we will be together again. I love you baby. Love, Mama.

My dearest friend I miss you still and always will  
A little ball of fluff with a mouth that would not shut  
You woke us when the kids came home especially when they were late. You knew the rules and never broke them. You loved us both with your attention and faithfulness. You stood by us in good times and bad. My life is very empty now without you in it. I hope you are safe and warm and a happy puppy again. You never knew your weren't a puppy any longer

Mary Doud

Muffin was the most wonderful dog in the world, and I told him this all the time. He was the best greeter and most loving dog. He will be greatly missed by my Father and me.

Jean Evans

My dearest Muffin, you are my one and only baby. You're the sweetest, most loving cat I have ever had. All of the forehead kisses are saved for you, and you will always have the biggest piece of my heart. I will never forget you, and pray that your spirit lives until we are reunited. You were taken too soon, but I am thankful for having been your mommy for 9 wonderful years. I love you more than anything and my heart aches from missing you. You will always be my baby.

Love you forever, Lisa

A Tribute to Muffin...
http://homepages.go.com/~muffin135/index.html

Corey & Mindy Coljeski

My baby Muffin  
I miss you so much but I am glad you are free. Wait for me, baby, and never forget how much I love you. I will never forget your sweet eyes and cold nose. You were always there for me when I needed you.....thru thick and thin. Papa is there with you now, so you can rest in his lap.

I know you are in a huge field with signs that say "Digging Allowed"! Enjoy!

Denise

Thank you for 17 wonderful years! You were our loyal friend and you loved us unconditionally. I miss you so much but letting you go and saying good-bye was the only thing I could do. I am so glad we had so many wonderful years together. The memories we have will be cherished forever!  
Thank you, Muffin!  
We lovingly called you so many names-names that only family knew and understood. There was 'Chucky', 'Chein', 'Chow-Chein', 'Charles' to name a few. During your last years I often called you 'Miss Edgewater'-you thought you were really something, didn't you? (You were!) Being near me was your favorite thing; eating was your second choice. I can still see you sniffing around for food and finding you with frosting on your beak when you helped yourself to Alex's Birthday cake. I can't even remember how many times I had to take you to the groomer for a bath because you insisted on chasing those skunks! I thought you would die when you got into a fight with a raccoon but 133 stitches were not enough to do you in!! What a tough old gal you were. Arthritis set in and Rimadyl became a part of your daily diet.  
You even won a blue ribbon for being the oldest dog at a pet show. My last gift to you and my way of saying thanks for your years of love and loyalty was taking you to the vet's one last time. I stayed with you till the end and my final words to you were ' I Love You'. Go in peace Muffin!  
With Love and Gratitude,  
Sylvia 
and Family

Love and Light for Muffin - who crossed the Bridge and is now running, playing, and loving her Granny.

Doris

I can still remember the day I first picked you out from all the other kittens. I felt an instant connection with you when I saw you and held you in my arms for the first time. That connection and love I felt for you grew stronger every single day as we spent time together and watched one another grow up.

You were a one of a kind cat and gave us many enjoyable years of happiness and companionship. We miss going for walks with you around the block, seeing you scratch the tree out in the backyard, sunning yourself on the veranda, licking the centers out of cucumbers, and sleeping in your favourite spots. We cannot express enough how much we miss and love you. You were a very loyal, loving, affectionate and beautiful cat. You gave us unconditional love no matter what, we couldn't of asked for a better cat, you were definitely one of the family.

I loved taking care of you to show you how much you meant to me, and I know you loved me too and appreciated the care I gave you. If I ever hurt you in anyway in your life, it was unintentional and I am sorry, but I know you forgave me. This tribute can only show a bit of the overall love you gave me and that I gave you, but the endless memories of you along with pictures, video and more will make sure that you will always be loved by us forever and will not be forgotten. I love you Muffin and we will be reunited again!

LOVE,
Craig, Kevin, Millie, Jim

Dearest Muffin, Your mommy and I miss you so much. Grandma and Grampa, too. You were our little snugglebunny and you always made everything alright. We'll miss you jumping on the bed at night and in the morning. We'll miss the way your whiskers tickled and your ears flopped when you ran and the way you patiently waited for a carrot whenever someone went into the kitchen. Most of all Mommie will miss her bunny kisses. Daddy's sorry he didn't catch your illness sooner. He would do anything to have you back. Please forgive me. We love you.

Cindy & Tom Mier

I miss my little shadow more than anything. He was always there to give me moral support and protect me while I showered and lick my feet and ankles dry after. He always thought any food was naturally for him and was always with me while I fixed meals, hoping for things to fall on the floor, hollering at me if I didn't at least try to let something fall. He thought he was a rottweiler and was a wonderful watch dog. He was very protective of me and would go after any dog no matter what size. I love him and miss him and miss him curled up against me at night.

Sheila L. Schaefer

My darling precious Muffin girl...that ear can cause you no more pain...I am sorry Mommy could not make you well...but now you can sleep my little one... Know that my heart is breaking tonight without you here to comfort me....I miss you so much.

I remember the day I brought you home, you little gray fur ball! I did not like cats at all but you looked at me with those blue blue eyes and changed not only my thoughts..but you changed my life. Your purpose in this life was to provide me love and happiness and you served your purpose well. For 15 years you were always there for me, from your hair in my mouth in the morning till you kissed and hugged me goodnight. My purpose was to love you and keep you from harm...That is why I had to let you go. It was so hard to say good bye today...but I know it was best for you.

Wait for me at the bridge my little one...I will be there to get you. Mommy loves you my "Most Beautiful" ~~ Mom, Melissa and Dan

I wanted to write a special tribute to my cat Muffy. She is 18 years old and has been through hell with me. But no matter what tumultuous experience we were going through we went through it together. I always knew that Muffy would be there. Well today Dec.6/99 the dreaded time has come and it is time for me to say goodbye--but how do I say goodbye to someone who has loved me so unconditionally for all these years. I have had Muffy over half of my life (I was 9)and she was the only stable thing in my life--I'm going to miss her terribly.

Brenda

It's been 6 months today and we haven't stopped hurting and missing you.

Carol & Ron Lisowski

Although your loss made me cry, all the precious memories will always make me smile. Always in my heart. Goodbye sweetheart.

Sarah

To my little girl Sammie..the love of my life and the light that shows me the way everyday. My best friend when I was down with Lyme Disease..thank you forever ! Your Mommie's little girl..I love you..

Karen Young

Muggins was a faithful friend and companion for 16 years. She was friendly to everyone and is sadly missed by family and friends but most especially by me. Although she became deaf and blind, she always had a special greeting for me when I got home and I miss her more each day. I hope she is healthy and happy on the other side and I know someday I will see her again and she will greet me with her funny little dance and help me cook supper by getting in the way.

Donna Fox

My baby boy..Muggisto...CuCu... you have touched my life in a very special way. Although your life was short, we grew together and had a very strong bond. You were my best friend. You will always be in my heart. I hope you are at peace and rested. Some day we will be together again. We will look into each other eyes and know that we will never be apart again. I can not wait until that day!

Mugsey, I remember the first day I brought you home. You were this cute, tiny, mischievous bunny. You brought so much happiness to Rich and my life, that we could never imagine not having you around. It has been a few days since you left us and we think about you constantly. We wonder why and how this happened and come up with no explanations. Rich and I, as well as your pal Bugsey miss you very much. We hope and prey you are in a better place, with other rabbits, tons of greens and peanuts galore.

Love always, Mom, Dad and Bugsey

Mugsey,

Three years ago Kim brought you home, this little white ball of fur. I had never held a rabbit before and was very reluctant to. The moment I picked you up I never wanted to let you go. I fell in love with you because of your gentleness and loving nature, always licking my nose and hand. I hope you remember my visits to your hutch. I would scoop you up in my arms and tell you that I loved you. I will always remember how excited you and Bugsey became when I shook your food container. I would watch the two of you run around, jumping on top of each other. I will never forget how much you loved peanuts. All it took was a crack of the peanut shell to get you running around your cage. I'm sure Bugsey is going to miss playing with you in the pen and hiding out in the burrow. Thank you Mugsey, for all of these wonderful memories. I am so sorry I wasn't there for you in your time of need. This was very unexpected and I am sorry I let you down. I wish I could have been there to hold and comfort you. Last night Kim told me about rainbow bridge. It gave me hope that one day I will get to hold you and tell you that I love you.  
I miss you so much Mugsey. Not a minute goes by that I don't think about you. You were the best bunny friend I have ever had. We will never forget you. Hope to see you at the Rainbow bridge.

Love always and forever,

Rich

I don't remember life without Mugsy. I got him in the first grade. I was small enough that he could pull me across the room if I had his favorite sock. I feel so empty without you, boy. Every night I pray that the bridge is real and I can see you soon. I'll miss that cold nose nudge that would ask me "what's wrong?" Every time I was down. I'll miss sneaking you that last bite from the dinner table. I'll miss that little face that was happier than I could ever imagine just to see me come home after school or work. Nobody will ever replace your unconditional love and support, and my life will never be the same without you. I think about you all the time and hope that you know how much I love you, little guy.

Munchie was a carefree, loveable cat who loved to feed his stomach. He was a special part of our family and will always be missed.

Sandy Lugo

Munchkin was my best friend and my whole life. I miss her deeply more than anyone can understand. She was my good girl and I am lost without her. I am grateful for the time we had together (almost 13 years). I LOVE YOU, MUNCHKIN!! YOU'RE MY PRETTY GIRL AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!

Monique Kubik

We were there the day you where born. You were the smallest of the litter. Being the smallest you always had to be the toughest. You were strong willed yet loving. We miss you and will never forget you. Someday we will meet again and then I will know why you were taking from us without having more time with you. You were our baby and always will be. Until we meet again in heaven we will think of you always.

Your Family
Patricia, James, Jimmy, Mikey Mercado  
Jade your mom, Rocket your brother  
Kansas your sister, CeZe your Aunt

Muneca, you had such a short life and although you were only with our family for a few days, we hope you felt the love we had for you. In that short time, you found a spot in all of our hearts. Such a tiny little pup, but you left a big, empty space when you left us. We miss you, girl.

Terri, Charles, Steven and Krystle

Dear Muppy: Thank you for being our best friend. We will love you forever.

Mommy & Daddy

Sadly missed, always loved. The little dog with the funny tongue.

Jean, David, John & Maria

My dear old friend, you were the strangest cat anyone could ever have had. You got every germ, bug and disease known to man (and vet) and yet you survived. You were the runt of the litter when we got you and you became the most beautiful cat anyone ever saw. You were never a lap cat but that didn't matter. You followed me everywhere inside and out and being in my beloved garden without you by my side has been at times, the hardest part of losing you. I'm so very sorry that you became so unwell at the end and although I tried to prevent you suffering, I will always feel that perhaps I could have done more. I miss you old boy. Look out for Gar - he'll take care of you until I see you again. I hope wherever you are you catch a mouse which you never did in life although I doubt that you would know what to do with it. Your rose blooms in the garden and I never pass it without thinking of you. My love always. Annie.

Ann French

Murph, Kitty (the name YOU gave ME) misses you more than anything. You brought so much love and laughter in our heart. I never knew a bird could be so loving and smart until I met you; and, of course, you were the SMARTEST!!!. You picked me out the first time I ever saw you and named me "Kitty". You even grew on your "uncle Marshall" who didn't like birds...hahaha....you changed that, too. :) You comforted Kitty for eleven days after Betsy went to Rainbow Bridge. You were my "crutch"....but you thought Betsy needed you more than Kitty and you went to be with her. Kitty is still crying over you and Betsy and you will ALWAYS be in our HEARTS. Don't give all my "kisses" away..save some for Kitty when we meet again some day. I love you and miss you with all my heart.

Oh, my Murf. I never got to say goodbye. But you were so wise. You waited as long as you could to make sure I was okay. That was just like you. Always giving and showing me your love. Murf, you are my forever dog. You were my soulmate. You and I shared secrets from the day you were born. I willed you to live and against all odds, God answered my prayers for a wonderful 9 years.
Murf, you changed my life forever with your zest of life, your uncanny intelligence, your funny actions and most of all your undying love.
Your leaving left a void that no one will ever fill. I know you went in peace and that you are at the Bridge with the "boys" and all the rest, but my heart still aches for you to the depths of my soul. I long to tell you things that only you could understand. But Murf, you stayed for me and now I must let your spirit be free.
There will never me another my boy. Until we meet again, I will send with you all my love and thanks......you're the best!
Forever,
Mom

May Murphy find peace and happiness in his new life. He will be deeply missed.

Beth & Steve

The Vets knew me as "Murphy's" grandma. My daughter, Heather was Murphy's mom. I would like a candle lit in celebration of Murphy's life and the love and the laughter she brought to us. I would like my daughter to share the candle with Murphy so she can know that, because of her love, Murphy had the best life any dog could ever have.

Sunny Lindsay

Murph was a very special dog.
I miss those big brown eyes always filled with love most.
Missing her kisses too.
'Til we meet again friend.

Audrey McAree

Our little family misses you very much. You are safe now my little one. No one can hurt you again. You need never be afraid.

Katherine

My precious little girl, I love you. I miss you.

Murphy died in my arms this morning at the University Of Minnesota Small Animal Hospital. He fought cancer for over two years. We called him the great monologist because he always had something to say. Tonight, my house is unbearably quiet. He was a good friend. I miss him terribly.

Mary Moriarty

He was a solid black domestic long-hair who died March 19 1999 of multiple organ failure at the age of 17.

He was a member of our family and is missed terribly and is celebrated in spirit daily.

Vince and Julie Adams

Our beloved sweety kitty will be missed.

Murphy, A strong, compassionate, loving friend. He was one of a kind- THE BEST!

We will remember you always, Murph. Run wild, run free, to your heart's content.

Murphy -
Not a minute goes by that we haven't thought about you and how much we miss you here with us. Our hearts are broken and we are devastated without you but we look forward to the day that we are all re-united.

We pray that you are very happy and free from any pain that you had when you were with us and hope that you are taking care of Sammy and Hooker. We love you and miss you so very much. Our angel...Hugs and Kisses...XOXOXO Mom & Dad

Murphy

I had a friend, a feline was he,  
and I loved him so, and so he loved me...

He'd nap in my window, bask in the rays of the sun,  
and when dinner time came to the kitchen he'd run...

And he'd stand at my feet, and he'd paw at my leg,  
and he'd impatiently say 'Hey, don't make me beg!'

And he'd climb on my chest, and he'd lay down and purr,  
and I'd sit and relax, my nose tickled by fur...

Murphy was his name, he had a style all his own,  
the years had flown by, from kitten to cat he had grown.

And oh, what a cat, you'd have to see for yourself,  
Like when he thought he was a cow and ate the plants on the shelf.

Or reared up on his hind legs, in prairie dog style,  
And munched on the hanging plants in the window for a while.

Or went into Stealth mode, and just disappeared,  
Only to bound down the stairs and shout 'Hey Murphy's here!'.

Then decide if you needed some lovin' or not,  
or climb up to your plate and say 'hey, whatcha got?'

He surely had nine lives, and he did live them all,  
Always landing on all fours, no matter the fall.

He lived a long life, and I do miss him still,  
But he won't be forgotten, 'cause I never will !

Patty Dennis

Murphy died during paw surgery. He was the best dog and I love and miss him so much. I wish I could have told him that and hugged and kissed him goodbye but I think he knew. Hopefully, I will see him again.

Kelly

For a special dog who brought us so much during his short stay - he will be missed by so many.

Patricia Baran

To my beautiful friend, so wise and strong. I was blessed to have you with me for so many years, and I miss you every day still. I can still smell your fur and see your grinning face. I'm sure you're conducting thorough "perimeter checks" at The Bridge. Don't worry about me, Special Friend, just play and have fun until we are together again.

Murphy  
Adopted March 15, 1991  
Passed away January 14, 1999

Veronica and I adopted Murphy on St. Patrick's day in 1991 at the pet orphanage in Desert Hot Springs, CA. We looked around for a long time at all the deserving animals up for adoption until I came upon Murphy and I knew he was the one. I said to Veronica "I want him, he's so ugly he's cute!" they almost didn't let us adopt him that day because he hadn't been examined yet; someone had tied him to the gate and left him. Anyway, they made an exception and we got our boy! He had one ear that flopped over and the other one stood tall and straight. At first he was afraid of almost everything- going up stairs, going down stairs, getting on the bed, getting off the bed and- water. He soon learned to love the water and we'd take him to the river or beach where he'd splash and swim for hours. He also loved squeaky toys, walks and most of all Veronica- he was devoted to her and we both loved him very much. Veronica was the first to say "He's the best dog we ever had!" and she was right!. He was happy, intelligent and very loving. He understood much of what was said even in casual conversation, which is how we eventually came to talk to him- no commands, just conversation. Last June I took him to the vet for a check up and he was found to have enlarged kidneys. We then took him to a specialist who diagnosed him with a slow growing form of cancer and thought he would have about a year to live. We were devastated! But we coped- and we cared for him and we loved him. Well, Murphy didn't make it for that year but he did have seven good months with us. The night before he died he came home from the vet's and he was the best I'd seen him in a long time- he was like a puppy again! He was happy and playful and energetic again! He played catch in the house with his favorite toy for hours on end, we went for a long walk and he roamed the empty lot behind the house for a long time, just sniffing and looking around. And we just sat together and hugged and talked and scratched and petted- he comforted me too! I think Murphy knew he was dying and he wanted to do all the things he loved just one more time. Murphy passed away today- January 14, 1999 at 1:10 PM; he was eight an one half years old. He was the most loving, sweetest dog I've ever known, He was a good ole boy and Veronica was right- "He's the best dog we ever had!" We love you and miss you Boy Dog! We'll never forget you.

Don and Veronica (Mom & Dad)

We miss you deeply. The illness that took you away is now over. I want so much to hold my "Angel Boy" and I know some day we will be together again. For now you run and jump and play. We will meet you at the bridge.  
We love you & miss you Murphy boy.

Mommy, Daddy, Shawna, Cleo & The Boys.

Murphy was a stray rescued on a rainy day in the mountains, but I know he was an angel sent to be my companion through a difficult transition in my life. He came at the onset and stayed until I was ready to stand on my own again. It was an unequaled love affair that lasted from that day until this. He was with me for four years and has been gone for ten, but it seems only yesterday that I held him close and kissed him as he took his final sleep. He was a fun, happy, and loving little guy and such a "looker". Thank you, Mo Mo for being my angel...I miss you still and hope to see that little white face with the big brown eyes again sometime. I love you...Mom

Brenda Sorensen

To my soft, gentle 45 lb. submissive urinator :) You were the most gentle animal I have ever known. If I could have kept you from your pain, I would have. Trying to ease it only made it worse.. I knew the day was coming, but I didn't really feel you would be dead after, just not hurting. I mean I knew it, but couldn't accept it. You lie in the woods with your favorite tug, the one you and Daddy and Charlie used to play with. Thanks for your help teaching Shotzie to fetch before you went. I try to remember you happy, but when I look at you in my mind's eye, all I see is your sad-even-when-happy face. I like to believe that the part of your spirit that contained the joy you couldn't fully feel is now in the puppy who sits in your place. How I love to go to sleep at night and visit you, running my fingers through the dense curls at the bottom of your neck. Bedtime, Murray. Goodnight. I love you.

Erica Horning

I just wish that her death wasn't as full of pain as it was.

Heather

Muskie, I miss you so very much. There is a huge hole in my life without your smiling face and steadfast companionship. You were the most gentle soul who loved all she came in contact with. The house is so empty without you. My only consolation is that you are back with Mom who must miss you very much. I know you were unhappy without her these last four months. Now you are together again. You will always be my Forever Friend and my heart will always hold you close and not ever complete with you.

Maureen

I have had Musya since the day I was born for 17 years, for he was 3 years older than me. There wasn't a time in my life that I would be away from him. Since his death half a year ago I feel as lonely as I've never felt before. Cats have always been my passion because of Musya. He was my inspiration and I loved him as much as I could love anyone. I still love him and he will always live in my heart.

Tanya T.

To my special baby. I am missing you so. Your krinkle nose kisses and kneading my hair for me. We will again be together someday. Thinking of you always, all my love, Mommy Heather.

My Moukie - Truly you were a gift from God who gave me 10 of the happiest years of my life. Not only were you my best friend in this cold, heartless world but never a word had to be spoken between us. You knew what to do and when to do it and always with lots of love and kisses. Nothing will ever be able to fill the void and the emptiness I have in my life since your passing. So until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge, just remember Mommy loves you always.

Carolyn Fisher

Myrie was a special cat. Always happy and purrfull. Always ready to jump in your lap for body heat. Always ready to put his paw on your plate to share your food.  
He always knew he was a beautiful cat and would regularly demonstrate it for guests in his house. He had a long and happy life and we were blessed to be in it. Rest in peace my true friend. I will see you soon at the Bridge.

Paula

Myrna-Katz, my beautiful baby, I loved you every day of your life. I will miss you every day of mine....Patti

Myron was a special cat, he loved people, was gentle, he liked to visit the neighbors, he slept on my feet, for a male cat he helped raise strays we adopted. I miss him every day and night. I hope he knew how much I loved him, and always will.

Lindy Yutzy

High in the courts of heaven today
A little cat bravely waits--
With all the others she will not play
But sits alone at the gates.
"For some day my mistress will come," says she,
"And when she comes she will call for me."

Lorrie

Our family was brightened the day we brought you home, and as we watched you grow and become the wonderful pet we lost.  
Your face was so full of love and expression as you knew and understood what we said and that we loved you so. Run free with wind as you loved to do, till we meet again

Kim

Our tribute to our baby... We miss you so much... it has already been over two weeks since we last heard your meow and purr, we keep on looking for you as if you are still here... I recall so often your special ways and traights... we wish we could've said goodbye or given you an extra long love that morning before leaving for work... what possessed you to go over the wall to next door? You were a foolish and curious girl and now we are left without you... even Brandy keeps on looking for you and is always expecting you to pounce on her from behind. We all miss you tremendously... oneday we'll all be together again. We love you our curious one...
