You were the best, Babe!! Everyone misses you, but we are glad your suffering is over. Good Girl.

Her Auntie Suzie

My dearest Babe,
You left us only a few days ago, but it feels like forever. I always knew the day would come that we would be separated, but I had no idea it would hurt this bad. I do so miss you meeting me at the door every time I came home, jumping up on me for a scratch every time I'd stand still. Bugging me to let you outside, exploding out the door to chase a birdie who had the audacity to invade your territory. I regret the times I punished you for being bad, and the times I'd ignore your requests for attention. Please forgive me. If only I had you back once again...
I've asked God to keep you safe and happy till I get there, and I trust in Him to do this. I pray He'll provide you with butterflies, flowers, big open fields to run in, and an endless supply of birdies to chase. May time pass quickly for you there, as you play and wait for me, so that you never feel the loneliness that I am feeling. When the time is right, I'll join you. We'll both be young and strong again, and I'll chase you round and round the yard.

Look for me girl, I'll be the one with tears in my eyes...

I love you Babe,
Daddy

I love you Babe, you were the best cat to grow up with and I will never forget you. we were both young when we first met and I am glad we had each other. you were there when times were tough and I was there for you. I will miss your head butts and all the times you fell asleep on my clean clothes. Babe I miss you!

Kelly Pinard

Although our hearts are heavy with grief, we are so thankful to have enjoyed the love and companionship of our dear Babe for all these years. She was an excellent watchdog and much loved by us all. We were comforted to be able to have her last hours be peaceful out in the bank yard with the sun shining warm and a gentle breeze. She was surrounded by loved ones and basked in the attention prior to having to be put to sleep due to a bad stroke. We await that wonderful day when she will meet us at the Rainbow bridge and are glad that she is young and healthy again and able to romp and enjoy life. We will always love her and miss her sorely.

Babee was a rescue from the SPCA. He had been abused before he came to us. We never knew how old he was. He was only with us for a few years, yet we tried to make up for the abuse he had endured in his life. He loved to ride in the car with us. He went almost everywhere we did. When, we could not take him with us, he went to the Bed & Biscuit in Roseville, PA. Babee loved the attention he got at the B&B and enjoyed being near other dogs and having a respite from our cats. We will miss him.

Neil & Rae

Baby was quite an elegant, people-loving cat, special in particular to my Mom, Dad and sister Patti. Baby had a good long life, enjoying a sophisticated taste for grooming and various meats, as befitting the breed. Everybody spoiled this cat rotten, which I'm sure has not changed one bit in the next world. He and his feline comrades, Muffy, Sam, Pussy, and Tiger are having a great time there with Peanut and the other furbabies of the family. That Bridge's gonna be crowded!

I miss her more than anything... It was a tragic death, and this has changed me forever.

Kimberly

I found Baby in the Halloween blizzard in Minnesota in 1991...she rescued me just as much as I rescued her from the storm. We enjoyed 10 wonderful years together. She stuck by my side through the most turbulent years of my life, and I thank God for the beautiful little kitty he sent me to be my friend for so many years. I miss you little Baby, I'm lonely without your little furry face. I'll see you again someday.

Deanna Prior

I miss you Baby.

Christina

My dear sweet Baby, your loss was short but full of love. I miss you terribly but know you are in Heaven holding onto your bottle like you always loved to do. I always remember you were loved like my own child and I eagerly look forward to the day we will be together again. Thank you for giving so freely of your love.

Rachel Chaplain

You will always be in my heart even if you aren't in my arms.

Alia Robinson

Cozy old cat, lover of dogs, sleep well.

Tita Owre

Your suffering is over now. May you be running free in fields of catnip. I only had you for four of your seventeen years but they were four very special years. You were one very special fellow. I miss you and no others can replace you. I love you forever. Be at peace my angel.

Merle Feeser

She was the most wonderful cat and I will never forget her.

Mary King

In loving memory of baby our faithful friend. Daddy & Mummy love you very much and pls come back to us as our first born child. So that we can commit a lifetime responsibility to you forever.

Love you always.
Daddy & Mummy.

My heart is very heavy over the loss of my little Baby. She was only with me for a short time but I loved her sooo much. She was such a wonderful cat and such a joy in my life. It's very hard to go on without her. I will never ever forget her. I will never forget having to have her taken out and the moment of that process. She was such a real trooper. I look forward to the day when I will see her again. Words can not express the deep grief that I feel.

I love you Baby!

Sylvia A. Scott

Baby will be missed very very much and that her family loves her very much and that she will always be with us.

To say good to my loving baby girl

Jennifer Self

My dear little Baby, you left so fast, so suddenly and so lonely. Do you know how sad Mammy and Daddy now? We miss you so much and you are deeply loved by us, at this moment we really want to go with you. For these past four days, your daddy and I cannot do anything, I could not have more tears, my eyes have already cried to dry... We have so much regret and guilty.... We never should have sent you to that hospital, your problem was never a deadly disease, and you died due to the medical negligence. I never forget your big eyes and your crying and begging us not to leave you there, but we left you there. And the next time when I saw you, you were already become a cold body. I will never forgive myself and I never can live peacefully anymore. My dear Baby, We love you so much, please forgive us and we will go to see you in the other world.

To the sweetest little girl, and the best friend we all ever had, your family loves you. Rest in peace, sweetheart.

Chas Gaffen

On Xmas day 1999, a beautiful peach faced lovebird was born. Shortly after her parents pushed her off the nest, I became her father and named her "BABY". I taught her well, with her knowing how to respond by her name and respond to commands. Being as lonely as I had been, she was the best thing that ever happened to me since I moved to the island. 2 months after having her just the 2 of us, I got baby's cousin(KIKO)whom also was just weaned. I did this so baby wouldn't be so lonely when I was at work. And so the 3 of us became a family and my once empty life was filled with so much laughter and good times. I can still hear her happy chirps when I would come home from work. During this time, I always noticed how trusting baby was as opposed to kiko in terms of physical contact and frequent visits to my arms and shoulders and hair. Baby was just like my own child(if I had one) On January 6 of 2001, after having a visitor in the guest room, Baby (as naughty and full of curiosity as she was)flew into the guest room and was violently flung against the wall by a full speed ceiling fan(that was never on for that very reason) I heard the loud bang from the next room and ran in to find my baby dead on the futon. Her body still warm, I cradled her in my hands and at that moment, I began to feel a pain that I have never felt before. As kiko watched, I wrapped her and took the whole cage with kiko to a park near Waikiki and buried her at the base of a palm tree and carved her name into it.
Not wanting to leave kiko to grieve alone, I purchased another lovebird that very day (that looked much like baby) and put it in the cage with kiko. kiko refuses to sleep by it and always pecks at it now. I worry everyday if those 2 will ever get along and I am working desperately to get my relationship with kiko much like how I once had with baby. All the while in the back of my mind, when I see kiko flying around the house, I long to see the familiar red and green right beside him chirping so happily. Wherever you are my baby, I miss you.................

I always felt safe when Baby was with me. She might have been afraid but she would not back down if she thought I was in harms way. It has been seves hours since you left this earth Baby oh how I cry for you and miss you.

Joyce Stanley

When I got Baby, he was our first pet. He was so amazing and at one time, when I would say, " do you want to go to bed?" Baby would come running and sleep next to me all night long. He grieved the loss of two other cats,,,,,,and now Missy, my 3 year old kitten and myself are in some terrible grief. Baby did not die when he had the shot,,,,, until he could purr three more times,,,,as if to say,,,,I love you Mom ,,,, thank you for taking me out of pain.
Baby had a tumor in his mouth,,,,, and I could not continue to let him suffer for selfish reasons. Needless to say,, MY BEST FRIEND's death is taking it's toll on two of us left behind,,,,,,Missy his sister kitten and his mom,,,, me,,,,,,,,,,,
Baby was THE BEST cat that ever walked this earth,,,,,,,,,,,, Just my humble opinion because I loved and love him so and he is dearly missed.

Margaret F.

She was so cuddly as a pup
John knew she was ours as he picked her up
She had a personality all her own
And was the baby of our home
Lady Bear, as she was named, was full of grace
And never let a biscuit be misplaced
She loved pizza and cheese
As did her Dad
And anything else she could get out of our hand
We miss her hugs and kisses too
The time we had with her just flew
Her mama loves her and her daddy too
Goodnight Baby Bear - sweet dreams to you
We love you Baby Bear

Cathy Lizotte

Our love for Baby Bear She will always be remembered for her devotion and loyalty to the family and friends. she was beautiful and loving The best friend we could have We will love her always She passed on to doggie heaven on May 14 2001 love From her family and friends

Lula Bradbury

Happy Birthday Boy! Hope you enjoyed it with your buddies, Duffy, Pepper and Brownie. We miss you lots!

Matt

Baby Bunny was not just a cat -- she was my friend and companion. She brought more love, joy and peace to my life than I ever thought possible. I will miss her with all my heart and soul. I have had many pets in my life, but never one that touched my heart the way she did. Right now I feel that the whole left in my heart by her passing will never be filled again. BABY BUNNY, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.

Judy Jones

Baby Chloe you only lived a short time but you are still very much loved and missed. In that short time you touched my heart.

We will meet you again on the Rainbow Bridge.

Love,

Your foster mom Sandy

This tribute is for the baby doe that I saw late at night slowly crossing the road on only three of your legs. The fourth dangled uselessly. The cars waited for you to cross before they moved on. No one was willing to help you. Seeing you like that tore at my heart. Alone, afraid and in pain. I rushed the last mile home and called the sheriffs dept. They met me within fifteen minutes of when I first spotted you. They came to put you out of your pain. You had gone into the woods and brush and they would not go in with me to look for you. I knew I had to find you but would never do so in the dark. The next day I went to look for you. It did not take me long to find you. You did not get far. How could you? I cried when I came upon your small body. I hope that death came quickly and that you did not suffer for too long. I tried to take comfort in the fact that your suffering was over and you were now at the Bridge. It did not work very well. I made a small cross out of twigs and planted it next to you. I said a prayer for you and left wondering where your mother was. Did she meet the same fate as you? Is she with you now? I hope so. Someday when I go to the Bridge to meet my pets and companions, maybe I will see you there. To all that might read this I ask that if you ever see an injured animal to please help. Don't hope that the next person will stop. Help those that cannot speak for themselves...... Mitch

Oh baby girl...I am going to miss you so much, you were the best little doggie in the world to me. I am going to miss so many things about you, from the very first day I got you..the energy you had when you were a puppy, doin little cartweels all over the room..to teaching the other little doggies how to behave and bein little miss bossy, because you were so cute..to chasing the sweeper..to becoming the one little being I could always depend on to love me no matter what..how you comforted me through the days of my life, always there for me. You were my best friend in the world, my little person trapped in a doggie body.. I am so sorry we had to put you to sleep, I couldn't stand for you to suffer anymore. I know holding you at that moment, you knew me and your daddy were right there, as you took your last breath..and we waited while your big brother Buffy Lou reached out his little hand, to take you over the Rainbow Bridge..the land of meadows, hills and lush green grass where there is always food and water and warm spring weather..for you to run and jump and play with him and Old Baby Chico, Old Buffa Lou I and II, Ben and Benji, Patches B. Barger, Typhannie, Miss Bunny, Bitsy Lou and Teeny. We will all miss you so hard bad..especially me..oh honey I love you with all my heart, and your daddy who kissed you..while he cried so hard..and your Aunt Carol who loved you so much, she was the one who found you for me, and gave you to me.. that called you on the phone for you all the time, she really wanted to see you one last time..Grandma Opal who made a special trip to see you right before you went..we will grieve so hard for you. and I promise I won't cry every day..or try not to..feel safe in God's hands..and look forward to when I cross the bridge to be with you..never again to be separated.. I love you forever Baby Chico Marie..with all my heart..love Mama

My Baby Gray was a gorgeous long-haired stray who was born in my bushes just 8 short months ago. Although he was very wild and frightened, I fell in love with him(along with his other two siblings and mother) right away. Each night, I'd put a bowl of food out for him and fluff up his favorite fuzzy blanket on his "bed" -- my lawnchair. I watched from my window just last night as he curled up and fell asleep in my backyard, the only safe haven he's had since birth. Tonight, I found my beloved lying alongside my busy street, with a fatal wound to his sweet little head. I scooped him up, wrapped him in his favorite blanket and placed him in a box; As painful as it is, I'm planning on burying him in a shady spot of the yard -- the only home he knew. God bless you, Baby Gray. I pray you find peace and finally know no fear as you lay in the laps of St. Francis and the Lord.

Julie Williamson

My sweet Baby Kitty, my little angel, we will miss you so much. We are so sorry for what happened. Please forgive us. We love you so much. We will miss your sweet smile and the way that you rubbed your beautiful face against ours, to greet us or just because. You were so sweet. Thank you for always giving me a cheery "good morning" when I got out of the shower and for lying on my wet towel, making me laugh. You have really helped me through rough times and I will always be thankful. Thank you for keeping me warm at night. I will always have you with me, in my heart and in my locket. Your buddies miss you too. We feel so sad and miserable without you. You were the perfect companion and friend. You had so many wonderful qualities and were so beautiful; you touched everyone's heart. I will be eternally thankful that you came into that Humane Society that day and went home with me; it was destiny. I only wish it could have been longer. You were my sunshine. I saved your life twice; I only wish it could have been three times. We tried desperately. I am truly blessed to have been your friend. You will be missed by all who knew you. Especially me.
Love eternal,
Denise, Glenn, Beau, Pepper, Bella, Sebastian, Simone and Sydney and Mama, Brandon and Diana

O, Baby Mee, how much we miss you. My hands ache to rub and pet you. You were truly the "sweetest cat in the universe" according to Chloe. I will never forget the fun the two of you had together, and hope God will keep you safe and happy until we meet again.

Laurie, Jim, & Chloe Kiernicki

In loving honor of my precious orange cat ~ Baby Orange who passed on at age 15. He will be forever in my heart. I love you Baby Orange

Susie Scholpp

This is for Baby Rager, who went to visit the Rainbow Bridge on September 7, 2001. She was a beautiful little cat- a beloved family member to Ann, Jennifer, Robert and Elizabeth. Though I never met Baby, I do know she was the sweetest, most lovable little girl ever, and she never stopped demonstrating that love to her family. She will be missed so very much. We can be comforted by the thought that she is free from discomfort, and that she knows her loved ones proved that love by allowing her to live in happiness from now on.

I send my prayers to her mother, Ann, and the rest of her family here.

Remember to look in the sky for the new little star shining so brightly.

My love, Connie

My heart will always have a special place for you, even though I have Eight others to love. I will always miss and love you, and I look forward to meeting you again on rainbow bridge one day......

Mei Han

Dear Bachman, You were the best dog anyone could ever wish for. We had you for 16 years and now you come visit us in our dreams. Sweet dog, you left paw prints on our hearts. We will love you always.

Mike and Rozanne Helms

When the body that lives at your single will
With its whimper of welcome is stilled (how still);
When the spirit that answers your every mood
Is gone - wherever it goes - for good,
You will discover how much you care
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

(Rudyard Kipling)

Angela Kenney

Baer will always hold a special place in my heart and I will always treasure the memories we had. It was the hardest decision of my life, but he couldn't suffer. Baer, I know your in heaven now and out of pain. I wish you could have continued living here with us for many more years and ending your pain was a very tough decision. I miss you greeting me at the door, waking me up in the morning, I miss so much. But it would have been greedy of me to make you suffer in pain just to have you with me. I love you with all my heart and I always will. I hope your at peace now, I will carry you in my heart always. God bless you and thank you for many wonderful years.

Erika Caffery

Baer, we just wanted to tell you how much we love and miss you. You will always be in our hearts and we will carry you with us always. Nobody or nothing will ever replace you, and we miss you more then you will know. We know your at peace now and out of pain. You're with God now and you're safe and peaceful. We will be together again one day. We love you always. Love always,

Grandma and Aunt Dolly

Baffin the most trusting, gentle and faithful friend anyone could find or want. We will miss you more then we can express. We love you and will remember you always. Our home feels empty without you here with us, but in our hearts and memories you live on.

Meg

She was a special girl. Her loss hurts. She is at peace and thats important for my princess

Scott

Eighteen years and over six thousand walks are two ways of measuring your life, old friend. No one could ask for a better pal. Now you're at the Bridge and have rejoined Maynard and Rascal. I'm sure you're making new friends just like you always did. The sorrow I feel is great, but not as great as the joy you gave me. Just like the song says, your life was measured in love. Be ready for our next walk together.

Baliey was jut 5 years old when she was diagnosed with Lymphoma last November, 2001. We were given an extra month with her because of treatment. However, remission only lasted a month. Bailey was a beautiful girl who's favorite toy was "Wilson" a partially inflated basketball she carried with her everywhere. She enjoyed dad's vanilla ice cream, sleeping with Diana every night, patiently waiting in the hallway for Diana to return, even though the door was open for her to fall into bed herself. Bailey enjoyed car rides that would allow her to visit the "human world" full of open windows and fresh air. She was with us for such a short time, yet she really completed our family, making it whole. We ended her suffering yesterday, December 5th, 2001. Words can really not express the loss we are feeling right now. We really were blessed to have had such a loving animal come into our lives. We hope the loss all of you are feeling becomes less painful in time.

John, Georgiann Diana

Bailey was a smiley dog who loved everyone and everyone loved her. The joys and love she gave so abundantly over the years will keep her memory alive. She took a hunk of each of our hearts when she left us, but our hearts are filled with such thankfulness for her time here with us. Bailey, we love you and will look forward to having you wiggle your butta and seeing your "cute ears" when we see you again. Meet you in our dreams.... LOVE Your Family

Bailey was such a special dog, she was more like my baby than a pet. She has always been such a comfort and constant companion to me that it's terribly difficult to see my life without her now. She was sickly when we first met, but together with terrific vets she survived several surgeries and other problems that would persist throughout her life. Her personality was so unique, she was always a bright spot in each day. Our bond is very strong and I'll never forget the beautiful times and love we shared while she was here. My journey from this world will be easier knowing she'll be waiting for me when it's my time. Until then - I love and miss you Bailey Bear. Mommy

My Bailey - the first and the best. I treasure every moment of our time together - the good, the bad; the funny, the happy, the sad; even the really aggravating moments. I will miss you always.

Kristi Wright

My Heart, My Love, My only Friend. It is now one month since I lost you and it is no easier. You were the best my beautiful boy and loved by everybody for your sweetness and gentleness. How can I go on without you. It hurts so much. There is a field that I used to take you to where you could run to your hearts content and a week after you left I went back there for the last time. I know that you are running there now, and I can hardly wait to die so that I can be with you again.
08/22/88-07/19/01 My love will be with you always.

We love you Bailey, Nana, Kellie, Kasey, Chris, Logan, Morgan, Christopher...

Bailey left me today

He left me with all his toys and well worn bed that was the shape of his body but he forgot to take the sound of his feet on the hardwood floors and the soft whimper of being 15 and confused from time to time or being afraid to enter a room with no light for his eyes saw so little light now

He left me with his bones and bowls and animal friends but forgot to take that always happy to see you feeling and those big paws surrounding me when I was sad and all alone on holidays

He left me holes dug in the yard, dozens of shoes redesigned, trashcans upturned and papers shredded but he forgot to take his name, forgot to take his loyalty and love

He left his leash on the wall, his collar in the drawer but forgot to take that little cok of his head and slight smile and of course those drop dead big brown velvet eyes of his

But I know one thing he did take was a pact we made before I went into the hospital that whomever went first was to wait at the gate for the other For love is in the souls not physical bodies

I'll just say I miss you and not good bye because my loyal beloved friend it's just a matter of time until we will all meet at the gate For all the memories good boy in this life we lived together I thank you with the whole of my heart

Forever Mommy

Bailey you were the bird of my heart. Your Family Misses you
terribly.
I will See you again one day at the bridge. Hugs and kisses to you Mr. Man,
But you are in the care of your sisters Mandy & Tabathia.
I love you
Mommy

My sweet little Bailey - How I miss seeing your loving face around every corner, always there at my side, telling me you are there with a subtle nudge of your wet nose. I miss your velvet head and silken ears. Your huge brown eyes are forever etched in my memory. Oh Bails, we went through it all girl, your love is forever etched in my heart as is the hole that came when you left. I love you and thank you for the best 8 years of my life!

Love Margie

My special love, my Prince, Bailey.

Jackie Bauer

You will ALWAYS be in my heart...I miss your chocolate brown eyes, loving companionship, and that "special" smile! I will see you at the Bridge...I LOVE YOU FOREVER, Your Nonna

Rest in Peace my loyal companion, my sweetie.

Jane Ryckman

Bailey boo boo, Bailey Bumblebutt...we seemed to call you everything but your real name. How we miss you so. We know you are with us when the wind blows and we see you around the corner, but when we look to find you, you aren't there. No more slobbered balls or torn Kleenex. I guess I won't be baking any dog biscuits anymore. Sweet little girl, you will be in our hearts forever.

Kristen & Kent Parkinson

Bailey,

Words cannot express how lost we are without you. You were truly the best friend and most loyal companion a family could ask for. We will love you and miss you forever. Our house seems so empty without you. We were truly blest to have you for twelve years. We miss you, baby girl, and love you so very much. We will see you again someday and will be together forever. We love you big dog!

Love, Mom, Dad, Matt and Ben

I love and miss Bailey very much. He truly was my best friend. I look forward to the day when we meet again.

Chrissy

Bailey was the most amazing animal on earth. She was the kind of dog that would tiptoe into a room so as not to wake you...we called her our little ballerina. She had the most sincere, kind, and gentle ways about her. She would actually look at you and listen as if she understood every word you said to her. I think she did. I miss how she would come up and cuddle with me and take afternoon naps. Even in her last days when she was incredibly sick and wanted to be left alone, she dragged herself up onto my bed to spend precious time with me. I miss her so and thought that she deserved to be known about. She was am amazing animal. Everyone deserves one just like her. I love you, Bay. You will be in my heart forever.

May God bless you and watch over you. I'm so thankful to know that you're no longer sick and there is no pain... I just wish that the pain I feel in my heart would subside. Thank you for the 9 years that we had together... I love you.

My sweet Bailey,

I'm so sorry about your terrible drowning accident yesterday, Monday, January 8th, 2001. I tried my very best to save you, and so did many others. I'm sorry the ice prevented you from climbing back up, I'm sorry the current was too strong for you to fight, I'm sorry I couldn't save you on time, I'm sorry!!!!!

I will love you always, and always. You are in my heart, prayers, thoughts and soul. I miss you, and find it so unfair that you were taken away from me at such a young age!! You have meant so much to me, and I'm a better person for having had you in my life!!

Mommy loves you, my sweet good little boy!!!

The most loyal and loving companion there ever was. He had no idea he was a dog and only knew he was our little boy. He went long before his time and will be missed for the rest of our lives. We love you Bailey and miss you.

Rick Chernicky & Tom Jones

I love you with all my heart, Li'l Man. I'm so grateful to Our Lord Jesus Christ for blessing me with your love for seventeen years (119 "doggie years"). Take care of Mom until we all meet at the Rainbow Bridge. I'll bet you're the only pet to ever vacation in 48 of the 50 states, plus Canada and Mexico. Bailey, my thirty pound mutt (mixed golden retriever) always wore his red bandana in public. He loved Lincoln Park where his spirit still fetches sticks, balls, his kong, frisbees and chased the squirrels. He was so pretty that ladies would call him "she" until the li'l devil started humping their legs.

John Northen

To our bailey girl, we love you and miss you and think of you everyday. You were the best! Thanks for the wonderful memories.

Sandy and Bob Pollen

A special dog we "fostered" when her parents were away...she was killed today by an inconsiderate construction worker whose company had been warned to "go slow" on a private street...to no avail. Her passing leaves a huge hole in the entire neighborhood, and her parents are devastated. She will be missed by all--only 5 years old and rescued from the "pound" the day before she was to be killed.

Jeannie & Ray Minchak

Webby was our special boy, the old man of our family. He was a rescue and added a third Whippet to our household of seven children. The kids decided there weren't enough to go around so Webby came to live with us. He was always "The Old Man". He just seemed incapable of letting go to have much fun. But he was always the one to let us know when someone was coming to the door--always on duty. In his later years, he always wnated to be where we were, so he had beds in the computer room, the sewing room, as well as by the fireplace and in the master bedroom. Every once in a while, he would get up and walk around the house, only to come back to the room where his person was. He would then walk over to the chair, give that person a gentle "noodge" in the rump and then go back to his bed. We will miss him.

Rena Forinash

Dear Sweet Ballon,

How I enjoyed my time with you and Myshall taking our long walks in the parks as well as our indoor playtime. I always felt safe with you and Myshall and will truly miss you when I come to see your brother. Knowing that you will never be sick again brings comfort to me although not seeing you again makes me very sad. Myshall will have to find his way alone now and although he will look for you around every corner for awhile, you really won't be that far, and he will sense that. Watch over Myshall now and when he has to say good-bye, I know you will be there to greet him and take care of him as you always have.

Sweet Rest to you my friend Ballon, I love you and I will miss you.

C.J.

Banchee, you gave me 3 1/2 years of your life. But time was so short, I still miss you. I hope to meet you at the Rainbow bridge when my time comes. Meowmie misses you, baby.

Bandit lived 15 quality years, he was loved by everyone in the family, His time had come, old age had taken its toll on his once playful body. We will miss him dearly.

The Lisa Family

Bandit you were my first baby and I loved you very much. We still think of you often and talk about you just as much. Just remember that I can't wait to see you again.

Missy Santistevan and Family

Bandy - our home is hollow and heartbreaking without you even with 7 others to keep me company. Not one has taken your place on my pillow. You loved exactly how it was meant to be and shown by your wagging little tail.

Susan Peterson

Bandit had been in my family for 11 years. He was very special. He had belonged to my mother who had passed away 3 years ago. I shouldn't have, but I attributed him to being the only thing that I had left of my mother. But it went beyond that. He helped me in the grieving process and was there for me every step of the way. When he got sick, I was devastated. I did all I could to save him. The only thing I could do at that point was return him to his rightful owner. I feel such a sense of loss at Bandit's passing, but I am comforted to know that other people out there feel the same way I do. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Lisa D. Ecklund

Bandit was my best friend, living my life with ME going everywhere with me, always by my side. He was an inspiration to me and was the sweetest big guy who loved to meet people and other dogs. I will miss him terribly and I will never hold that same glow that I had knowing he was waiting at home for me.

Ginger

His Siamese meow would echo through the house, always having something to talk about. Those big blue eyes would contently gaze up at me, filled with love as I scratched his head. And when he slept at night, he had to make sure I couldn't slip out of bed without him knowing, as he placed a paw on my cheek or forehead or neck. He just had to be touching me so that when he closed his eyes, he knew I was there. So when he closed his eyes for the last time in my presence, I was holding him, kissing him and petting his head so he could feel that I was there and he would know that is was ok. I would have never imagined how much I would miss those big kitty paws on my face when I go to sleep at night. Or how much I would miss that very loud meow that echoed through the house at all times. He was my angel and now he has become my guardian angel. Mommy will always love you, Bandit-kitty.

Bandit Gunther

I called Bandit my little Kitty-Goat because he preferred eating grass to eating any other food. I had to make sure I latched the screen door securely after he discovered he could push it open and graze on the patch of special grass we had planted for him. No matter where he was in the house, he would come running when he heard the door open, just in case he could convince someone to give him a blade or two of grass.

Dave called Bandit his Court Jester because of the way he would come running whenever he heard the fan go on in the bathroom. Bandit knew he could count on a good petting session from Dave while he was seated on the "throne." He also had the curious ability to yodel, at least that's the best word we came up with to describe it. We've never heard another cat make that noise. He would look for places to practice where the acoustics were just right, places like the bathtub and the stairwell. Then he would regale the neighborhood from the porch. I used to joke that he was part of the Twilight Bark chain from 101 Dalmatians.

Just about a year ago the vet told us that Bandit's heart was dangerously enlarged and his heartbeat was irregular. The doctor warned us that it probably wouldn't be long before serious problems would develop as Bandit's heart got worse and his other organs were affected. Sure enough, soon his kidneys started giving him problems. We've nursed him through several crises since then, giving him what support we could. However, recently he reached a point where nothing we did was enough. The only thing he would eat willingly was grass and even kitty-goats can't live on lawn alone. As we watched him crouch miserably, we knew it was time to let him go.

We took him back again to the same vet that discovered his problem. He had encouraged us through the year as we tried medicines and a special diet. Frankly, we were hoping that his heart would just give up and end his suffering quickly and naturally. His heart was stronger than his kidneys, though, so the easy path was not taken. It hurt to have to make the final decision and see it carried out, but it helps to know he isn't suffering any more. He looked peaceful lying there on the counter, as if in a deeper, more restful and certainly more comfortable sleep than he had enjoyed in a long time. It was hard to believe that he was gone. Jesus said that God knows every sparrow that falls. I know He cared for our beloved Bandit. We'll never pet him again nor hear him yodel, but whatever God has in store for beloved creatures is better than making him suffer a prolonged but painful life.

Please pray for us. We got Bandit as a kitten from the Orange County Animal Shelter 16 years ago and he has been a great pet and pal. I remember him purring when I first picked him up. Dave felt him purring as his heart stopped beating. We will miss him but we loved him too much to ask him to spend more time in pain. He had a good life and 16 is pretty old for a cat. It was time for him to go. However, knowing that doesn't make the pain in our hearts any less, so we will appreciate your prayer support as we grieve.

Although he was "only a cat," he took the place of a child in our lives. He had personality, knew right from wrong, and he understood love. He was gentle and careful when he played. He was not mischievous or mean. He was our loving fur-kid and we miss him already.

I don't know how Bandit's housemate, Smokey, will react to his absence. T0hey haven't been spending much time together, so I suspect that he will be glad that there is less competition for our attention but sad that there will be no other food dish for him to steal from.

We'll get another cat eventually, but it will be a while before we're ready for that. You can bet, though, that when we are we'll be looking for another cat like Bandit.

Tina and Dave Gunther

Thank you for the 15 years you gave us. You were our buddy, our pal and we miss you. We loved you then and love you now. You will always be in our hearts until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge

Daleen, Harold, and Tara

You were our buddy, our pal for 14 years. We miss you. We loved you then and we love you now. You are in our hearts now and always until we meet again at The Rainbow Bridge.

The Bond Family

"Bandit"
Bandit was the first cat to come to our family. The following year he was joined by his brother Knicks, and two years later, another brother, Scooter. Bandit was a wonderful friend. He always made it a point to let me know exactly what was on his mind. He became ill, and I could tell by the look in his eye that he was ready to end his pain. Knicks, Scooter, and I want him to know that we love him very much, and miss him very much. The three of us are very much at a loss not having him home with us.. I hope he knows that when it's our time, Knicks, Scooter and myself will all meet at the bridge and cross together, like a family should.
Bandit, always remember Mommy loves your very very much.
Jennifer

Bandit was my special little boy. I found him one day after someone had abandoned him. He was only 4 months old. He has been with me for 10 years. He left me unexpectedly due to cancer. The happiness and joy he brought me is overwhelming. And so is the sorrow I feel at his loss. He was such a good boy. He would love to play in my shoe boxes or any boxes, jump as high as he could to try and get the laser light on the ceiling and then curl up and sleep on my lap for hours till my legs went numb. He even accepted and tolerated Casey, my new dog. What a sport he was. He didn't care that she was much bigger then him. He was Bandit after all. He is no longer in anymore pain. I will miss my baby boy, my silly-willey. Until I see you again in heaven, I will always love you Bandit.

Carole

I just need to say that I loved this dog, he was my son. My husband and I can not have children so he was our child. I will miss him dearly. I will cherish all the memories he has given me.

Nancy

You will always live in my heart.

Lee Sellman

12/30/00 Bandit crossed Rainbow Bridge today. She was rescued from the Woodlands Race Track in Kansas City and had live with our family for the last 7 years. She was a joy and always there to great you with a friendly Greyhound smile and a wagging tale after a hard days work. She was a great comfort. She will be greatly missed. She would have been 10 this May but developed Osteocarinoma and we had to let her go, to cross "Rainbow Bridge" I believe I will see her again some day. I miss her greatly and have lost a great friend.

Bandit,

My puppy-wuppy, my Bandit Shmandit, my sweet stupid ugly dog. I miss you so much I can't stand it. I always knew the day would come you would have to leave, and although I saw that day approaching the last few months, I still never expected it.
I love you, my friend. The one who knows all my secrets, my best friend.
My bowls of milk will still be laid on the floor just for you, and half a steak sub will always be saved for you.
We miss you so much, we love you. Please watch over us.
Love,
Rikki-Lea

Baraka was a very special cat in so many ways to me. My brother whom has shown no outward affection towards me got Baraka for me when my cat of 17 years died. It was the most loving thing he could have done for me. Baraka was loving, opinionated, center of attention. I loved him with all my heart. He was the cleanest cat I knew as he was always taking a bath. He had the softiest fur imaginable. I will miss him greatly. As will the others that his life touched. I love you Baraka. I miss you. I only hope you are in a better place now.

Patrick

I love you, my princess. Look for me when my time comes.

Jill Christopher

Shy, but kind, you worked your way into my heart the very first day I saw you. You will be missed by your two "brothers" and myself. I held you in my arms as you died; know that I will always love and cherish the two and a half years we had together. I love you, Bare.

Barklay, six pounds of loving, who enriched our lives and delighted us for so many years. He was a constant travel companion and loved just being with us. We miss him so very much.

Carol M. Solari-Ruscoe

Barkley, my beloved Chocolate Labrador, it has only been 4 days since you left us and we miss you more than we could imagine. You were my constant companion and best friend for 14 years seeing me through thick and thin, good and bad. Now I am left with a huge Labrador shaped hole in my heart. One of the hardest parts about losing you, is that you aren't here to help me through it. Thanks for the good times, the good memories, and for loving me no matter what. We MISS you and LOVE you so much. Remember, you'll be in our hearts ... always!

Until we meet again, my friend!

LOVE, Your Mom, Dad, and sisters, Taylor, Dana and Coco

Barkly, my little boy, I used to call you the Velcro dog because no matter where I went, you were right beside me. I'll miss how you used to wake me up in the morning--even as early as 5:00 a.m. on my days off. Now that you're gone, I'd give anything to hear your early morning barks.

You had a heart of gold, and your kindness shined through your little brown eyes. No matter how hard my day was, I could always look forward to seeing you when I got home. The second I put my key in the door to come inside, you'd let out a barrage of woofs. I was home and you were ready to love and comfort me. And, of course, you were always eager to be loved. You'd jump at my feet, and when I held you in my arms, I could hear you say, "I wuv you." Of course, everyone laughed when I said my dog could talk. If some birds can talk, why not an intelligent toy poodle?

I'll miss our walks together. You were my walking buddy. When I look at the sidewalks and streets we used to stroll on, I want to cry. There are a lot of things that now will make me cry and trigger memories of you, such as opening a slice of cheese (your favorite food), seeing your winter sweater, looking at dog snacks in the grocery aisle, and your collar and fancy leash with the built in flashlight that I bought at Sharper Image just for you.

Spunky misses you, too. I bought you to keep her company, and you were a good friend to her. She was your mother figure. I'm giving her extra attention now to keep her strong. She's an old girl and will one day be with you. Then you can play together in open fields, and your bodies will always be swift and strong.

I know that heaven exists and that God would not create kind-hearted animals like you simply to let them fade away forever. I am confident that we will meet again. Until that day, you will remain a Velcro dog--always by my side and forever attached to my heart.

Nina

To our Barley Dog, you were the best dog any owner could ask for, thanks for 8 years of love. Love Rick and Amy

Barnaby Christopher

6/13/89--5/3/01

We were so lucky to have you in our lives. On August 13, 1989, our lives changed forever, that is the day we met you at the Humane Society. It took me so long to write this because I miss you so much. Barnaby was the world's(okay our) GREATEST boy. It has been six months since we lost you and it sure has not gotten any easier. Barnaby was so well behaved and loved by everyone. I remember the night before you died and Chris laid you on our bed and we kissed you and told you how much we loved you and that it was okay to rest. Some days when I remember that night I wish I would have never told you it was okay. When you got sick we never thought that in less than a week later we would be without you. We all love you and miss you with all our hearts.

Thank you so much for posting this on your website. Barnaby now has a new baby brother a sheltie named Barnaby's Little Skipper. Skipper is a great puppy with very big shoes to fill and he is definitely working on doing that.

Thank you,
Debbie, Chris, Aimee, Kathleen, and Skipper Allen

To the greatest friend and love. You will never be forgotten. 14 years ago we came together at a time we both needed someone to love and cuddle to. You helped me through so many things, no matter what came up you were always by my side. Thank You. I Tried so hard to find away to help you but this time I couldn't. I know you are in a better place no more coughing. Be brave I am trying to Love Always Pam

Barney passed away today at the age of 13. He took his last breath while laying on my lap. A part of me also died today, I will never find another companion like him. Unconditional love, that is all he ever gave me. I will honor him forever. He will wait for me on the Rainbow Bridge.......

Rebecca Kruetzfeldt

Our beloved Barney,
You gave us thirteen wonderful years. The last 6 months your body started to fail and your bones started to ache but you love and spirit did not. You gave us all such joy and companionship, Ryan and Tara grew up with you as their protector, guide and always by their side. The house is quiet now, the den is empty without your bed, we miss seeing your big brown eyes and wagging tail greeting us each morning. Dad will have to handle the backyard on his own without your company and as for me I miss our morning walks. You were dearly loved and will never be forgotten. Enjoy playing catch with all your new friends. We will see you again someday.

Love Mom, Dad, Ryan and Tara

Barney 13 years old. Our beautiful, sweet natured boy has left for the Bridge. He is loved and terribly missed especially by Mark and Kate who have never known a day without Barney in their lives. We did all we could for you but it was not enough. It was time for you to find peace. If love could have saved you, you would be with us still. Cassie, Phil, Samantha, Jack, Wally, Willie, Shadow, Buzz, Oliver Fancy, Hobo, Speeder, & Fritz are all waiting for you at the Bridge, so you won't be lonely .Til we meet again.

Much love, Stan, Debbie, Mark, Kate & "Max".

A compassionate angel, whose love will never cease. Cancer may have claimed his body, but it cannot dim his light.

Kari Lundin

My loving little man

Sally

God must have wanted you to come back home.
We miss you terribly. Be happy and safe, and don't forget us.
We will see you again. Love, mom

Marianne

Barney was the first cat we ever had. We saved her from the local shelter as a Christmas gift for our son. She quickly became a loved member of our household, 2 dogs, fish and people. Barney was an unusual name for a female cat but my son insisted. I don't think Barney really cared. She was an interestingly patterned black and white cat the reminded many of a cow. She had a penchant for chewing telephone cords and this was her undoing. Even after many efforts to make the cords unpalatable, Barney ingested a large piece. Complications created by this prompted the decision to have her euthanised. We miss you Barney, we loves you and know that we continue to make our house a home for homeless cats. You started it all.

Sue Legault

Barney was a special needs dog who was rescued from a life of neglect and possible abuse. Barney first came into my life and didn't want anything to do with humans. After a few days Barney and I were inseparable. After many hours of pinning him on the floor and forcing him to let me love him that is. Barney and I became inseparable, taking him everywhere with me. I even bought a brand new station wagon and took him along to try it out before buying it. Barney had a personality all his own, and he has been greatly missed by everyone, including my three cats. One of my favorite memories of Barney is how he was such a protector of everyone and everything. He hated confrontation between people and pets. At the dog park he would always come to a dogs rescue that he believed was being picked on. He was a guardian sent from doggie heaven. In the beginning Barney was rescued by me, and in the end Barney rescued me.

Tricia Meinholz

Barney,

I feel lucky we had you as a friend & family member for 13 years.
You started life as the injured adorable puppy, lying there listening to the children's jeers.
And you grew to be a tribute to your breed, quelling people's fears.
Most improved in your obedience class, learning to sit and heal, caused many cheers.
You trained us not to say walk or cookies & saying "w" or "c" adheres.
I remember your love of truck rides & your ability to balance with the shifting gears.
A constant companion, I will miss your handsome red face in my rear view mirrors.
You shared our hobbies, including hanging out at race tracks including PIR, Laguna Seca and Sears.
But when I was troubled, I always had your listening ears.
An unselfish boy, you donated blood to your canine peers.
You loved Christmas, the boxes and treats, even visted Santa and his reindeers.
You only disliked the vaccum, baths and nail trims - both front and rears.
Always the life of the slummber party, I will miss having them with you as Todd's travel time nears.
The salsa and chips were never to spicy, you didn't have to cool your tongue as I did with beers.
Other favorite foods included burgers or pizza or whatever else was within your food radar spears.
For all of this we lovingly called you "Bman", "Barn Dog" and "BaaKnee", funny names for one who so endears.
Still you learned to share your people and home with foster dogs with only an occasssional leers.
Now seeing your empty space by the gate, where you would wait for our return, & my heart veers.
The thought of not playing ball or hearing you "speak", brings me to tears.
Though beleiving that you and your "Clyde" are together again, my heavy heart clears.
It is forever a Barney World, your presence made this earth one of the beautiful spheres.

WIth all our love,
Chris and Todd Cook

Barney you were the highlight of my life. I will never forget our long summer walks at the beach with Katie. All the fun and laughter you brough into our lifes. Go in peace knowing that we love you and you will never be forgotten. You will always live in our hearts. We will miss you and hope that some day to see you again. Love you always, Aimeth, Kevin & Katie

Dear beloved Barney. Who was given sleep Tonight 31 August 2001 at 7.0 pm. after a short illness. You struggled so hard to live. Barney you will not suffer any more my sweet heart. I ache for you to be back here. Please wait for us. We miss you very very much and want you back, darling. You gave us so much. You were such a skinny stray. you were always there when we were blue to cheer us up. You had such a lovely holiday, all those walks by the river. Then you became very ill. Nite nite sweet heart for ever with us. We will never forget you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Barney, Fuzz Ball , You will be missed. You were always leading the parade always checking to see which way mom was going. You were the apple of your mother's eye.
Love
Mom, John, Michael and Linda

You will always be my best friend.

Bart & Sue

Baron, my life without you seems so different there is a void as big as the sky, God sent his angles to take you and I'm still wondering why. Baron I don't need a special day to bring you to my mind, the days I don't think of you are very hard to find. Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone and no one knows the sadness as I try to carry on, my heart still aches with pain I can not describe. The tears still flow in secret and in show, what it meant to lose one one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill, in life I loved you dearly in death I love you still. Your 10 years here on earth was the best I'll ever see, you were my soul mate, my loyal friend, you were there through the tuff times and always by my side, your life ended so quick in a mater of seconds you were gone, I did every thing to save you, I would have give everything I own. Air you could not breathe so I tried to give you my own. You laid your little head on my arm and I know you were gone, but now I know where you have gone and one day we will be together again. I love and miss you so much so until then, your mom.

Barbara & Richard

Tooti, you lived a good long life. You were our first family dog and we loved you so much.

Jo Costick

Bucky, you were my heart. We grew up together and I miss you more than mere words can express. I love you big guy.

Kim Thunderwolf

He was so little, but so sick. He was given only a short time to be with us, but he was so dearly loved. He is missed horrifically by his mom (me), my son Joe and his heart sister Loni (cat). He is being silly someplace else, now, but he'll be playing in our hearts forever. I love you Little One. I always will.

Kristine

You were the best cat anyone could ever have. We love you and miss you with all our hearts. We are very happy to have been blessed with you for 12 years.

Jeff and Karen

Our Bart died suddenly and unexpectedly Tuesday night -- we found him dead on the floor in the laundry room. It was so, so unexpected and I just have no clue how I am going to pick up the pieces and move on. If I could just turn back the clock and if we had known that Tuesday night would have been your last hours with us, we would've talked to you, loved you, held you, but instead we took the evening and your presence for granted. Bart, I hope you knew how much you were loved -- you've left an emptiness here. Everywhere I look, I can just imagine you there. At night, I swear I can hear you eating your food. I realized the other night that we now have no reason to leave the blinds open in the bedroom -- you aren't there to look out the window.

Roses with babies breath and ribbons have been placed on your grave. A grave marker has been ordered. I really hope you know that you were so loved. We built a casket and buried you at 2am Wednesday morning. Your Granny Christian was there with us. You are buried beside Spooky and I hope you two found each other.

You will be forever missed! Thank you for the years of companionship.

Eric and Amy

He was a very lovable dog. He was very sweet and he had a really good life. We all miss him and know he is very happy at Rainbow Bridge. He was very nice and everything else that describes good. We love you Bart!

Vanessa Sanchez

Bart was happy 'til the end even when he was sick, weak, and devastated he still managed to raise his silly ears, and give his wrinkled-head bart look. His suffering had to end and although I look back with guilt and regrets I realize he has now moved on over the Rainbow Bridge.

Shelby

Monty misses you, Basil. I know you'll meet him in the Rainbow Bridge some day. And I know you'll meet me. You didn't have a very long time on earth at all, but that just makes your glorious time in the Rainbow Bridge longer.

Holly

I cannot say how much I miss you. There is a hole in my heart, never to be filled. Wiggles, hugs and licks, licks, licks! My unending love to you, my sweet Basil. I am with you always. I loved you so.

Amy and Bruce Jester

You came into my life and taught me to love again. You will always be mommy's sweet boy.

Karen Maitland

Baskerville ..... my heart will never be the same. There will always be a big empty place that you used to fill. I hope you know that I love you with everything I am, and that I always did my best to care for you. My only wish is that we will be together again one day. Your daddy loves you.......Jazmine, mommy and Buster miss you too. Please watch over us as you always did......love daddy

Baby Bastet. You were only with me for a short time but in that time you over filled my heart with love and pride. I will always miss you and there will never be another to replace you. Sky misses you too hon, She cries all the time. But your not hurting anymore and that matters alot. I love you everyday and miss you everyday.

Beejay

He/She (never got a chance to check its gender because it was a bat) was found laying on the ground and appeared to be a "turd" and I was looking for nature things for an art class and joking about collecting "turds" as nature. Then, I saw the bat and walked to it and said, "Here's a turd!" I looked more closely and discovered it had fur. Then, I saw it breathing and I looked under it's stomach at its wings and knew it was a bat. My mom thought it was dead but I noticed it wasn't so we took it home because it seemed to have some potential of becoming better. Sadly, it never became better and died.

Rose and Mary

Baxter, you were a gift from god i believe you made me feel safe again and you gave me unconditional love. I'm sorry we had to put you down please FORGIVE ME!! I will always remember you and you will be in my heart forever. I love you

Beth

Baxter was my best friend we got him Oct, of 1989 when he was only 6 months old he was a pointer hound when he died 3/1/00 I really never got over it I still miss him I always was a cat person until we got him. Please be good to your friends they don't live forever. Thank you for letting me tell you about my friend Baxter. Louise Green.

For Baxter, Who died on May 26, 2000.
It will soon be a year since you have left us. We still miss you so, I expect that that will never change. We have another boy in our lives now, but he is his own fellow and would never replace you, I wouldn't allow it. I just want you to know how much we love and miss you. You will always be in our hearts and will live on in our memories. You are our Baxter Boy, Love, Mom, Dad and family

Thankyou for all the special times and fun you gave everyone who met you, you were one in a dog million who will live on in all our hearts.

Baxter you are sadly missed but we all know we shall see you again over that Rainbow Bridge so watch out! and be ready for another tummy rub !! All our Love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Frances Webb

Baxter, Your Mommy and Daddy will always love you and think of you all the time. You were our life's joy and a constant source of love and affection. Our 9 years together went much too quickly. I miss your woo-wooing for breakfast at 6 a.m. already but am up every morning to make sure your brother, Dempsey, doesn't forget. It is much too quiet at home without you talking to me all the time. I miss your gazing at me with love and your sweet kisses when you know I needed them. Grandpa will be at a loss when he comes to visit and babysit.

Baxter you are the rock in my life and your Mommy will always remember all the great times and memories we have shared.

I miss you and I Love You, big boy!

We will miss you very much. We promise to keep singing to you because even though you won't come running any longer, we know you can still hear us. I have your bowl and collar which I will keep with your Mother's Day card and your picture. We are very sorry Baxter, it was an accident and it was our fault...you did know better and we didn't listen. Forever singing to you...Baxter the Kitty...you will never be forgotten and will always be missed. Love your Mommy and Daddy XOXOXOXO (Todd and Ericka Koester)

Monty misses you, Baz. He's a big cat now but he'll never forget his brother. I love you so, so much. I prayed so hard for you to come home that night. It hurts to see you in Monty's soft, gentle eyes. I love you, and I know I'll join you on the Rainbow Bridge one day.

Holly

My precious BB a beautiful white short haired cat. She was so small because she had Leukemia and was on so much medicine to keep her immune system up. Interferon for life. I just wish it had been a much longer life. It has been one week and one day since you died in my arms, and my heart is still broken, I go out and visit your grave, it is in my lilac garden in the middle of my yard, when I leave for work and when I come home, it seems just can't let you go, I see you everywhere, your little 3 pound delicate body. You always slept with me and snuggled, the other cats trey to fill the void, especially your sister Tybee, but no one can, they help, but it is not the same.
I had you for one short year but you gave me so much love. I think because you were ill and had to be treated differently than the others and you were so tiny that I just had to protect you. I still feel like my heart is ripped and may never heal. I haven't felt like this since I lost Noel (my beautiful poodle-terrier of 18 years) I have always had animals but some are just so special they are like your children.
BB I will always love and miss you, I just hope the hurt fades some soon, I still cry over you and I want to touch that soft white fur and look at those beautiful eyes, I want to feel you curl up on my shoulder when we sleep. I know this may sound silly to some people, but I truly loved you and will always think of you my sweet beautiful BB. I love you now and always....Nancy

For adorable BB Mon-ami', baby girl, always dancing, hopping and jumping, so silly girl, so much joy, surprises, and love with you monkey girl.

Lucille J. Jurado

My first pet as an adult, and truly my best friend.
He took everything in stride, the relocations, the cats brought into his established territory, all the changes.
Simply unflappable.
In November 2000, my buddy was diagnosed with a sarcoma in the liver. On January 2, 2001,10am MST he lost his fight.
He was my cat, but is a very much missed member of my family, never to be replaced.

Arlyn

B.C. was a beautiful and fearless cat. He defended everyone he loved, and never did retire. He got sick and died. We loved him very much.

Kathleen Fletcher

Bea was a faithful and loving companion whom I shall miss with all my heart.

Dearest Beamer- Today your buddy Yipper joined you in a better world. I know you were there to greet her. Although you have been gone for several years, I have not forgotten you. Thank you...both of you, for being my constant companions...my travel mates...forgive me for not giving you a stable home. You were always loved, and never left behind...and maybe, there in heaven you can tell stories of your travels.
May God protect both of you. I will always love you...it is my deepest hope to see you both again one day. Love, Marie

I received Bean from an elderly woman who no longer wanted her. "Beauty", as she was then called, was about a year old. My husband and I already had two dogs, but I thought I could find her a nice home. When I brought her home that day after work, my husband took her in his arms and exclaimed, "please tell me she's ours!" And that was it. He decided to call her Bean.
Years flew by, and she was so healthy and happy. She had the personality of a spitfire, yet she was so loving and sweet. Bean loved to give kisses and snuggle under our blankets.
Yesterday morning she was taken from us by a coyote. We will miss her greatly. She will always be with us in our memories. Whenever we get the chance, we will tell someone about her, and how much happiness she brought to our lives. We miss you Bean.

Rest in Peace

Our furry, fuzzy friend.

Bean,

You had the most unique and dynamic personality ever.
Your love, devotion, and spunk will be forever missed.
We will love you forever.

Love your Mom and Dad,
Lauren and Michael

I bought Bean when my fiancée and I were breaking up.(I didn't want to be alone.) I never dreamed that it would hurt more losing Bean than it would losing my fiancée. As all animals do, they love you no matter what and all that they want from you is to take care of them. As his death is still new to me, I find myself calling for him when I get home and am actually surprised when he is not there. I am, unfortunately, surrounded by people who do not understand what it is like to lose a pet that has become such a part of your life. Oh, if I had a dollar for everytime someone said " It's only a gerbil! I will buy you a new one if it will make you feel better." Regardless of what he was, he helped me get over a tough time and I came to rely on him as much as he relied on me. I hope that he is now not suffering from the cancer that he had and I hope that he will carry my love for him wherever he is. Thank you again.......Debbie.

She was the best dog in the world and we miss her very much. We give thanks everyday for her unconditional love.

Jana and Helaine

Beanie, our beloved green-eyed black kitty family member, you will forever be missed. You have left such a big void in our hearts and lives that can never be replaced. It was so hard to let you go and wehope you know it was done out of love. You will be remembered forever in our hearts and wehope we will see each other again one day. Thank you for sharing your life with us and for all the joy you brought us. We love you Beanie boy and miss you so much.

Mayelin, Doug and Nyan

Beanie, my green eyed Irish cat, you will live with me forever. I am so sorry you suffered so. I hope all suffering is removed and will never ever touch you again. Thank you for the guidance you showed me. I would've never made it in this cold state without you. God love you and keep you and give you all that heaven has to offer. Please be at peace, my beloved.

Sandy

All I can say is that I love you and I wish you hadn't been so scared when you passed. You were my best friend, and I think of you every day. I'll see you again someday soon, I love you Beaner.

Beans we will always love you..We miss you so much...You gave us so much love and happiness..I miss you in my computer room, sitting on my lap, following me everywhere..I miss your pretty eyes and your cute little button nose...I miss giving you kissies and miss our snuggley wuggley's at bedtime..Roscoe, Shylady and Rich miss and love you too..You will always be alive in hearts!! We will be together for eternity someday...With Love, Your Mommy

My guardian and my best friend. I will always remember you. Thank you for your devotion and for always loving me no matter what.

Audrey Greeson

Bear was so much a part of our family for close to 10 years. We miss him very much and hope that he is in a better place and happy. We love you Bear-Bear.

Judy

My kitty Bear. We love you so and will miss you so. I am sorry you didn't live as long as you should have. I am sorry of they way you went. I hope it was quick and I hope you knew at that moment your were loved. Elise will miss you, she sleeps were you used to. We all love you kitty Bear.

Moira Taylor

A faithful friend to the end. We will never forget him, and we will never be the same again without him.

David and Pattie Hill, Olivia, Natalie, and Sawyer Hill, Tequilla.

BEAR,
You were so loved by your family. Your cute ways and such total devotion and you took your job/responsibility as "Protector" very serious...we love you for that fierce loyalty.
Those beautiful and soulful brown eyes will never be forgotten. The constant companionship was appreciated much more than words can express. Your presence is still felt in your favorite chair, while on walks through the garden, and as we enter our door.
We thank God for the love we shared with you,
Your loving family....Mom, Willie, & Diane

Bear was a friend to all and his heart was large enough for two dogs. We found out that he must have had very strong heart because it had to compensate for a very small left ventricle. Bear never showed signs of tiredness and was active and energetic up to the moment he died.

Bear, you taught us that there is no weather too lousy to take a walk in and that if the sun comes up, then it must be a great day! You are missed every day Bear and we will never forget your smile.

With much love,

Michelle and Jen

Dearest Bear I miss you so much, but want you to know that I did learn one quality from you: courage.
You shared completely with me for the last six years of your life.
Dear companion, soul-mate, I want you to know that you touched many others as well. You are free now of that wornout body that so gallantly struggled to stay alive for me- over the last three years.
Despite your deteriorating body, your Spirit showed unimaginable strength and resilience til the end.
Thank-you for that one last walk to the rose garden, when you were so weak.
I am remembering you now as you once were- when you used to leap in the air spry as a wolf and sound your delight. I will always remember our singing sessions. I rejoice in your freedom now where I imagine you frolicking, instigating play with other Spirit dogs and howling-singing to your heart's content. Wait for me Bear.

I love you, my forever dog.
Judy

P.S. I sent this poem to friends to notify them of your passing:
It is by Mary Oliver.

...Every year
everything
I have ever learned
in my lifetime
leads back to this:
the fires and the black river of loss
whose other side is
salvation
whose meaning
none of us will ever know
To live in this world
You must be able
to do three things.
to love what is mortal,
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it,
and when the time comes
to let it go,
to let it go.

Our Dear Handsome Bear,
I cannot describe the love and compassion I feel for you this morning. My heart is heavy and Brian's is too.
You have been so brave and strong but you've told me that your time has come to join your friends at the Rainbow Bridge....especially Kooch. You are ready for the pain to stop and I am sorry that there has been so much confusion and discomfort during these past few weeks. I know it has been difficult for you with your Brian away on his biking trip, because you guys share a very special bond. But Brian is "here" with us today, for you ~~~ our precious Regal Bear. We both Love you with all our hearts, as you have Loved us, so unconditionally.
You seemed to really enjoy your fresh chicken with scrambled eggs this morning-along with a frosty paw and a chew bone. It has been the greatest gift to have you in our lives and in our hearts. We promise to keep you there, always.
May God Bless You and Comfort You in your final hour and grant you everlasting Peace and Joy!
Something no other loyal friend deserves more than You, our handsome Boy.
May all the pain be released and replaced with pure happiness and freedom to run and play...forever.
We will miss you baby, more than you know...thank you for giving us a million memories to hold onto.
Please give Koochy-bear our Love and now that you're together again, we are truly blessed to have the Greatest guardian angels...in the whole world. Watch over me and Brian and your little sisters and know that we will all be together again someday...meeting at the bridge ~~ and Bear, I will surely be desperate for one of your great big teddy bear Hugs!
"The most precious of all possessions is a wise and loyal friend" God Bless you Bear~~~WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY! Love, Mom, Brian, Phaedra & Tobi

Bear you will be missed by everyone who ever met you, you were a nasty guy when we first saw you at the shelter, but through the years you became a very strong link in our family, you're family was lucky enough to be with you when you left for your journey to Rainbow Bridge to join all of your other family and friends that have passed before you. I love you my special kitty and will always have you in my heart, thank you for sharing your life with us.
Mommy & Daddy & Grandma

Bear was the most loveable dog. we were together over 15 yrs, that is longer than my husband. He was my friend, my companion, and the best little buddy you could ask for.

Margaret Trainor

To my Bearz..my friend..and my companion.
You know that you are missed as much as you were wanted & loved.
I am trusting that you are playing & having a wonderful time & when its my time to meet you on the bridge you will come running when you hear "mommy's home, where's my Bearz?" and we'll be back together again for always. Thanks for doing such a good job.
Rest easy my friend. You did good.

Denise Dahlheimer

Hello Bear,
Today marks the fourth year you left us for the bridge. I still miss you, and will be so glad to see you again after I leave this place for the better one you are at. We added another addition to the family big boy. His name is Gulliver, and we rescued him last October. He is so much like you that I get chills. He gives me Bear hugs, and the " High Five" paw just like you use to. Of course he and Obe love to run and play in the back yard. I would give a lot to be able to watch all three of you play together, but that wont happen until we all meet at the Bridge someday. We all miss you big boy. Mom and Jamie maybe not as much because you and I were together a lot longer, but I know they remember you in their own special way. Your picture still hangs by the clock on the computer hutch. I still think back 10 or 12 years ago when you were my only life line for a while, but what's even better is now I remember the good special times like the car rides you used to love so much, or playing Frisbee. I guess that means healing along with some grieving. Be at peace big friend. Run and play and do all the things you couldn't do in the end. Most of all know I love you. Watch over your new brothers, big goofballs that they are and know I think of you.
All our love
Dad, Mom, Jamie, Obe, and Gulliver

Bear,
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon you, the rains fall softly around you. May god and the Bridge hold you in the palm of their hands until we meet again. It's been a long four years big boy since that awful day you passed over to the bridge. I thought I would go with you for a while as you were my lifeline to the world 11 or 12 years ago. I still grieve at special times, but I know you are watching over Mom, Jamie, Obe, Gulliver, and Myself. Obe and Gulliver are wonderful. So much like you that I almost call them Bear every now and then. But there will never be another Sheepdog like you. Gulliver is so very close to you. He does so many of the things you used to like Bearhugs and kisses. He could be your little brother. To think we rescued him from someone who may have put him down at less then a year old for no reason makes me think you had a hand in it Big Boy. We love you and miss you. You will always be our Bear. Run and play until we see you again Big boy.
All our love!!
Dad, Mom, Jamie, Obe and Gulliver

May you always have clear skies, open fields, and slow squirrels. And know that you are loved and missed.

Laura

My sweet little Bear. You took a piece of my heart with you when you passed away. I will always love you.

Mary Jane

We'll miss you buddy. You brought such joy and laughter to our lives with that personality of yours. I know you are in a special happy place now, free of any pain and suffering. Thanks for all the wonderful memories you bring to our hearts. We love you dearly. Mommy and Daddy

To the one I love, may you rest in peace.

Wayne Laferriere

Thx for being such a wonderful friend

I love you Bear and miss you.

Mr Disney

You've been a special friend indeed! Till we meet again......Rest well my friend.

Patrick & Adeline Siow

We miss you gentle Bear and your sweet playful kisses.

Samantha Duke

My best friend in the world! She was born during hurricane Floyd and lived just as vigorously! She never bit anyone and had the most unbelievable temperament! I will forever miss brushing her and driving her around in my Barbie remote control car (with the dog chasing her). I will miss holding her (whenever I wanted to), trying to dress her up (the clothes didn't always fit), and just watching her!
I know that she is up there with her family and friends having a party and looking better than I remember. But, I can't help missing her!

Cara

Beau, a rather large German Shepherd, was my closest companion. His love and loyalty brought me through some of the toughest times in my life. I know that God gave me this special friend and I will be seeing him on the Bridge when God too calls me home. Until then my friend.

Chris Buckalew

IN MEMORY OF BEAU

“Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me. “Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I might lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would like me to learn.

“Speak to me often, for your voice is the world’s sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when I hear your footsteps upon my waiting ear.

“Please take me inside when it is cold for and wet, for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements, I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

“Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I can’t tell you when I’m thirsty.

“Feed me clean food that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life.

“And my friend, when I and very old, or 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 to it that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands”.

Author - Beth Norman Harris

Beau was my best friend and very much part of the family. He was always by my side whether I was in the house or outside he was there with me. He greeted me when I came home, even now I expect him to come running to greet me. He is very much loved and missed. He is always in my thoughts. It was a very sad day when he pass on.
Love and miss you old friend
Mom

Darling Beau Bozzy, miss you so very much. You bought such joy and laughter into our hearts. We had a special bond. You used to wait for me Eveready, until I came home from work and greet me with your special siamese meow, very loud welcome! You were my special "lapcat" We had other cats, but you were my special darling boy. I'm sorry I couldn't prolong your life, but you had heart and kidney problems, too much for you at the end. You filled our life with happiness for sixteen years and everyone misses you.
Kathie, David, Mat and Tim

Even though our wonderful Beau left us last year our hearts are still breaking inside for him, he was the best friend anyone could ever have.

He brought a lot joy, love and happiness into my home. He was my best friend, he loved to play, never bit anyone except when he was playing, never was in a mean mood, he always came and put his head on your lap or follow you around when you were mad or sad, he was always happy and full of spirit, he was the best dog, I will really miss him, but I will not let one day go by when I don't think about him he will always be a part of me.

Brendan O'Rozco

How I wish I had know yesterday would be the last time we would laugh together. Beauchamp was my little clown. Never to be replaced. You are so special. I love you.

Shannon

Beau was simply the best, ever loving and ever loyal. He always had that Golden Retriever smile and his tail was never still. His love was unconditional and the greatest tribute I can give to him is to say "me, too", I loved him unconditionally with all my heart.....I will not say good-bye old friend, for I know that we will be together again, so until that time I will always keep you in my heart and in my soul. Enjoy your rest my faithful friend and brother...I love you!

Bo Bo, my beloved and special friend - never to be forgotten. I'm sorry I allowed you to stay longer than I should have, but I just couldn't "let go". You brought me and games so much joy. You are in a better place now, with games...... Until we are all together again, I miss and love you both!! Lori

Beaumont was a great loving spirit. His unconditional love will be an everlasting inspiration.

Joe

Beaumont - you gave Russ and I over 14 years of faithful companionship. You never asked for much in return and will always be loved and missed by both of us.

Gary & Russ

In my arms in Slidell, Louisiana. He died of congestive heart failure. His brother Sherman and I miss him terribly but he's free of pain now. I will always love my baby boy.

Rita Fleenor

Beau,
During our time as best friends, you kept me going day and nite..waiting to walk you in the morning, feed you eggs mixed with dog food; come home to your wagging waiting tail. Beau, my need for your friendship has left me paralyzed right now...You were my first taproot at life...run well and with the big dogs up there..like you did here...I will miss and love you forever...

Beau you were always so special. I knew you were on borrowed time. I am so grateful for the years we had. I will miss kissing your incredibly kissable face. I hope you had a great life. Please know how much we miss your little inky paws. I'll always love you.

Mommy

A tribute to my Beau:
You were my special beau, the love of my life. Did you know it? Did I show you how much you meant to me? I miss those big brown eyes looking at me..following me as I crossed a room. I will miss your special ways. The way you always backed out of a room. How you would never beg for food at the table but if there was food on the table and we were not at the table you thought it was "fair game". The day you ate all of papa's halibut...after all he wasn't sitting at the table eating it!..So it must have been for you! How you looked at life. You took everything in stride. Our 2000 mile trip to a new home...what an adventure! I remember how you could not get enough of those ear rubs. We would rub so hard that our arms hurt but still you wanted more. Those heavy sighs...oh how I miss that sound. Our bedroom is so silent now. You had no problem letting us know which side of the bed was yours. How you never complained about the pain that you were in for so many years is a wonder. Even at the end..when you were slowly dying and we did not know it, you never let on. You are and will always be a true Newfoundland. A gentle giant, forever loving and trusting. You were my friend, my confident and my true source of joy. When I talk to you now, I hope you hear me and know now how much I loved you. With you gone a part of me is also gone and I know that I will never be the same. Thank you for allowing me the chance to have memories that I will forever treasure. Thank you for picking us to be your family. We were so very lucky and it gives me great comfort to know that you are watching over us and waiting for us to join you. I pray that you are having fun and running and playing ..something that you have not been able to do for so many years. I hope your pain is gone and that you will forgive us if we kept you with us longer than you wished. Please understand that you were loved so much that we could not imagine a life without you. Life does go on, but it will never be the same. I miss you Beau and if I could have only one wish granted in my lifetime it would be to see and hold you one more time.
This is my tribute to my Beau.

Carrie

We shared a birthday, and we shared a life.........Beau was wonderful, and I will miss him...

Laine Wightman

Beauty was a three legged sweet heart at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. She touch us dearly and we miss her tremendously. Of the hundreds we watch over, Beauty was a needle in a haystack. She will always be with us in our dreams. We loved Beauty dearly and mourn that we couldn't do more for her. In the end, she was held and hugged, maybe showing her something we should have done while she was in this world.

Larry and Marna

Mommy and daddy love you so very much. You are the best doggie God ever made. You are in our hearts forever. We will never forget you. You will always be our baby.

Sandra and Steve

To others, she was considered unfriendly -
however to us, she was love.

T Nelson

To our baby Beave,
You brought special joy to us as you were the first bird we ever hand fed we had a special love. You are now with your sisters Cleave and Pickles.
We will always love you and you will always be in our hearts.
Love, Mommy & Daddy

Beavis, a Samoyed, had a kind heart and a gentle manner with all creatures, great and small. He taught me a lot with his gentleness, his patience and his kindness. He will be remembered, missed and celebrated.

Patrick Elliot

I am adding this cat in memory of my mother Winnie Rich. This was not just a cat he was family. My mom fed him with an eye dropper every few hours to keep him alive. He was 3 days old when he came into our family and lived to be 18 yrs. old. Bebe knew everyone in my family better than we knew ourselves. Talk about love none can compare with the love this cat has shown our family. So I dedicate this to my MOM, because she would have placed this herself but she past away from cancer last June.

Winnie Burckhard

Goodbye, little girl. Sweet dreams. You'll always live in my heart. You weren't in this world very long, but I'm grateful for every hour you were with me. I love you, little one. I miss you terribly. Please be happy and warm and well.

Stephanie Stark

My tribute for Bebop is that he was the crankiest bird I ever met, but with me Bebop was gentle and just wanted to loved on. I miss him greatly, Bebop was my best friend, the first bird I had ever owned. I feel as if a part of me has died along with Bebop. Bebop I love you and you will be missed dearly.

This tribute is for my friend Sharon who lost her beloved "Becky" during the Christmas season of 2000. Becky was also my friend and one of the most darling dogs I have ever met. She lived a good long life and died at a very old age. Her mother was very good to her. I hope she finds my baby, Georgia who was also taken from me in March of 2000. May they both rest in peace knowing they will always be very loved and very missed until we all meet again someday.

Jody Rousseau

You are a very special little guy and we love you and miss you. Baron misses you too.

Ken and Nancy

To my angel in fur. We love and miss you. You are our Angel In Waiting.
Love MOM and DAD

I just want to say Thanks for being such a good friend. I have Epilepsy and Basilar Artery Migraines, they can cause a stroke. He would stay by my side through each one, and then go and get my husband when he would come home from work.
I was truly blessed to have him as my dog for the last 7 years.
We put him to sleep because he had lymphatic cancer.

I really missed him this morning when I woke up.

Andie

Beijing, you loved to chase chipmunks and your dog frog. You loved to chase neighbor cats and car wash brushes. You would jump in the bathtub and then look at me demandingly until I turned on the water so you could drink. Your human pack members were so well trained you didn’t have to use the toilet. You converted me from a strict cat lover into a cat and dog lover. I could only ignore your compete adoration for just so long. Not many people have their first dog love affair at age 55 with a hairless dog they didn't even want. It's an agonizing thing to learn about the rainbow bridge, but I wouldn't trade our time together. Just once more I wish I could call “COME!”, and watch in exasperation as you ignore me or hear your lonesome howl as I leave home without you. Sleep well my darling woofer-barker. Keep those ghostly chipmunks on their toes. I will miss you all of my days. Nancy

He was a special boy, my Schmoo. He couldn't walk any more, but he's romping at the Rainbow bridge with his friends, whom he apparently had a lot of. I miss him very much already.

Andrea Rainey

We lost our beloved Bella a beautiful 9 year old cream colored Persian girl with copper eyes on the Monday after the Thanksgiving, 2000 holiday. She came to us later in her life as a neighbor, a friend and then a beloved family member. Tomorrow we will celebrate her memory and hold her always in our hearts. Our tribute to her is provided here as an attachment. If you cannot open it or it doesn't transfer please call or email and we will again send it. Thank you so much for providing this avenue for us to share the wonderful kitty that was too briefly ours. We are extremely grateful to all those who supported and consoled us in are time of grief and are consoled to see the widespread network of compassionate and caring humans who helped us directly and collectively through the Rainbow Bridge. Thanks again, Diane DePould, Steve Wegner

This is for my friend, Susan, who's beloved Bella went to the Bridge this week. Susan and Bella had a very special and beautiful relationship and I'm certain they will be reunited at the Bridge one day.

I loved her so much.

Debby Hemstock

We miss our baby-girl, crab-cake, Bella Luca. We were better as three, and will see you again one day.
Love Mommy & Daddy

To the sweetest, most beautiful companion. You comforted me like no one else could. I miss you terribly and hope you are running freely now. I love you, Mommy

Our Beautiful Bella
We Love You so very much and we will miss you dearly you and your funny ways. You brought us so much love and happiness and I just can't believe you're gone. I see you Everywhere, and I remember your playfulness, your crazyness and how much you loved us. We know you did. I know you are in kitty heaven right now. I pray to God that you went to him peacefully. Please visit me in my dreams and tell me you're all right. You were the best pet Papa and I ever had. Thank you for taking care of John Crew, he loves you and misses you too. We have lots of pictures of you to remind us of your beauty and have made you a nice resting place in the back yard under the fern where you pretended to be a tiger. Oh I wish I could pet you and hold you in my arms right now. Till we meet again Dear Bella, I will call "Willie, Willie Where are you?" All Our Love, Your Family, Lisa, Jeff, and John Crew.

Belle,
I miss you so much. I miss seeing you hang your head out of the passenger side window as if showing me the way to go.
You were much too sweet to die from such a horrible disease as cancer. I will see you on the Bridge.

Bill Bedford

Dear Little Belle,

If I could only go back in time I would take away the illness that took you from us. I wanted so bad for you to get well but when you didn't respond to treatments I knew what I had to do. I just could not bear to watch you suffer any longer. My soul shattered the day you died and I don't think I will ever stop grieving for you. My only consolation is knowing you are at Rainbow Bridge where you are whole again. I love you sweet baby and we will all be together again someday. I promise!

Love Mama and Daddy

BELLE
1994-1/25/2001
Belle was a Dwarf Netherland rabbit that I got for Michele when she was a freshman in High School. She had recently lost Buster, a white and tan flop-eared rabbit, and Belle was just the ticket to make her feel better.

Belle was so cute and petite, with a little round body, small pointed ears and a face like Jiminy Cricket! I often said that if she could speak she would sound like Snow White - she was so feminine. Her color was bluish-gray. She liked to snuggle in my lap with Buddy (the cat) purring and nudging her ever so slightly. She didn't like it when Buddy playfully bit her (with a soft mouth), but that was his way of loving. When I held her I felt like I held an infant and called her my "little piece of plunder". She is immortalized in two family paintings along with Dylan and her siblings, Buddy and Perkins.

Her absolute favorite thing to eat was oatmeal - she pushed when I filled the dish and gobbled it up. Her second favorite was apples, sliced and cored. She preferred timothy (a type of hay) over alfalfa but also dined on alfalfa rabbit pellets. She did not like carrots - what a silly rabbit!

I held her softly on our last morning together, gave her clean cardboard to rest on and played soft Christian music so that the last thing she heard was an angelic choir as she was passing to the other side. After she died, I lined her burial box with fresh cut flowers and Michele and I buried her in the field adjacent to the apartment complex with a large stone as the marker. I will miss her because she was part of my earthly paradise at Hunter's Glen, but am confident I will see her again in our much greater Paradise in Eternity. She rests there today.

Michele & Stephanie Spencer

My Bell was the world to me. He was my reason for waking, someone to come home to, and my most amazing friend and being.

Eliza

Bemer, my beautiful little boy crossed over the Rainbow Bridge June 23,2001 after a short battle with cancer.
I can not begin to say how much he is missed!

Michele

Dear my best partner,

You've just gone away today, and it still hasn't come to me yet. I hope you're now free from all the pain you've suffered since a month ago when you were diagnosed as prostatic cancer.
I'll never forget the 15 1/2 years with you,
and all the love and special moments you gave me.
I think you're at the rainbow bridge now, running around and eating and drinking just the way you did when you were healthy.
I hope to meet you again over here. Till then, just jump into my dreams whenever you like to play with me.

My Love Forever,
Yuka

He had many physical problems but rallied through them all for 13 1/2 years till he finally went to the Rainbow Bridge for a well deserved rest.

Jim & Terri Burton

Bye bye Ben. Your life was cut off in its prime and we are hurting so bad because of the injustice. May God damn the person who was responsible. I hope you didn't suffer, little one. I'm missing you so much and so are Mum and Nan. We're missing you purring and fussing us for a stroke. The friendliest little cat, I hope you are having a good time with Mac and Charlie and someday I'll see at Rainbow Bridge. I love you, Benny.

Julianne Bonner

Ben was my best friend. I shall miss him forever. As much as people are trying to make it easier for me, this was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and want so much to have the best dog in the world back at my side.

Ben - Our Lion Kitty - Ben you entered our lives for such a short time - but you know how much we all adored you! You arrived an itty bitty kitty riddled with fleas. We took care of you and know in our hearts how much you loved being part of our family. We miss you. We understand what happened - was it a rabbit you were chasing? What a fearless kitty you were.

Ben - your sister is so sad that you are no longer here. She looks for you. She tried to tell us where you were but we couldn't quite understand what it was she was telling us. Rest assured we will take care of her.

Now resting over the Rainbow Bridge with Maddy cat.

~We set you free big boy~ Love Mum, Dad, Mike, Lib and Goody XXXXX

when you left our world we became engulfed by darkness and emptiness as the angels wept for the loss of their own.
Time passed slowly with the heavy burden of our hearts but slowly the memory of happy times together are beginning to emerge.
Take care and roam freely and in peace our special little Ben. Till we meet again, love and think of you always
your Mum, Dad and Kim xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ben we love you

Samantha Cavaco

I am going to miss you so much Ben. You came to me as an abused bunny and I took you in and grew to love you so much. I hope you were happy here with me. I will never forget you. You will always be special to me. You are so brave and you always were. I hope you have found all the other bunnys I have in the afterlife. Stay with them and I will see you again some day. Now you can run and leap like you used to do here. I love you Benjamin.xxxxxxx

Ben-ben: I can't believe I'm writing your tribute so soon after Martha's. One month ago you were both with me, and now you are both gone from my life here on earth. I hope you forgive me; it was an accident, my little buddy. I was trying to help you; at least I am sure you didn't hurt. You were my sweetest, gentlest cat. You had dignity and kindness in equal portions. I will miss how you would jump on my leg and stretch out; I will miss you waiting patiently for your food in the morning. We were together for a long time, and of all my cats, you were the most accepting and patient with the children. Kiss Martha for me, and cuddle up with her. And wait for me with her, and Daphne, and Zeke, and all the others. My little Ben, with the beautiful sea-green eyes.

Cathy Pyron

Ben, You were there for me when no one else was, You helped me through my divorce, the depression, remember halloween, when I sneezed, and I miss your personallity. I just miss you so much. Cody does too. I hope you are without pain, have plenty of treats and someone plays your favorite game of fetch with you. I love and miss you soooooo much. Love mom

Nancy and Mark Meng

Nelli, we will miss u so very much . I'm so sorry that u had to leave us so soon. We were just learning about one another . U were the happiest puppy anyone could of known
always full of love. We love u so very much and u will never be forgotten baby. Please watch over us, we will be together again someday.
Nelli-I hope that the time we spent together and the love and happiness we shared as a family made up for the awful way you began this life...I feel like god gave us to you to show you the way true love feels because he didn't want to let you leave this earth with only sadness and abuse...I hope that we fulfilled that promise we made to you to do that...maybe that is why god took you to him, because the love he wanted you to have was given and he knew he could take you and you would have had love and happiness.
We love you and miss you and always will, and hopefully you are running in green pastures, chasing squirrels and rolling around in the grass...and hopefully someone is there to rub your belly like you love and to kiss your little face and nibble on your floppidy ears and to smell you stinky feet! We love you and will remember the happiness you brought to us and to trooper who misses you so much to, he goes outside and stands at the gate waiting for you-someday we will all be together again but in the meantime, be happy my baby girl and know that mommy and daddy love you and miss you each day.

With all of our love,
Mommy and Daddy, Morgan and Dylan and Trooper.

Be happy and be free.

Jeffrey & Tracey Wood

We said goodbye to our bud yesterday. Our hearts are heavy. Our eyes swollen with sadness. We cannot believe the emptiness we are left with. He was such a dog! Tougher than nails. He coped with every disadvantage that came his way. He lived with us for 17 years, our final decision took months... He left us in seconds. Bye good buddy, we love you.
Momi and Angie XXXX

I miss you too...................

Julie Vallin

Thank you Benjamin for those 4 extra months we had together Sharing palliative care and fluid dialysis. It was wonderful to communicate through our angels that you weren't Ready to go to the bridge when the vet said you were living with kidney failure. Thank you beautiful spirit. Franklin, Bellina, & Magnificat send their love too. Your loving mom Lenore.

You showered those who knew you with love and affection and you are truly mourned by many - most of all your grieving family. We have received so many cards and calls, a true testament to your loving nature and all the goodness that you brought to the world.
You fought so hard to recover from cancer, you were so brave, but Mommy felt it was your time to join her and we didn't want you to suffer. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do but it was my true gift of love to let you go free from pain. I miss you every moment of every day. You will always be my baby boy and I will carry you in my heart forever and ever.
I know that you followed the light as I told you and that Mommy was waiting for you. I know that you feel the love that we send to you and feel the love of our beloved family members who are with you now.
Benji, my beloved little gray guy, thank you for the light and love that you brought to us. I miss you more than it is bearable. I love you forever and ever - XOXO, Sissie

(Thanks for loving us Benjamin and blessing us with your spirit. You were absolutely the most beautiful cat I have ever had. Your loving ways took over our home. Thank you, baby Boygin.)

Dedicated to Whitey and Benjamin:
I went to the woods because I wish to live deliberately.
To front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn all it had to teach and not,
When I came to die
Discover that I had not lived.
--Thoreau

You both stole our hearts from the start with the unconditional love you poured out of your little hearts.
We will forever love you and miss your presence. Before we meet in Heaven, please feel free to grace us with your presence in our dreams. We will look for you sweet Benjamin and Whitey Bear. You were the best boys a mom could ever ask for and you did your job: you were cute and lovable.

All animals are without sin so I am certain you will be in Heaven to make sure your dad and I get in, my dear boys. Whitey and Ben, be good and take care of the others and love one another. You both are the Kitty Managers up there. I hope you are playing with Gray, Samantha and Sarah Smile. I will always love you, Whitester and Benjamin and please know you will always have a most special spot in our hearts forever and ever. Our first babies that we both got to love as a couple together. Thank you for the experiences of love that you blessed us with. Whitey, thank you for loving me and Daddy, especially. You were his man. Thank you Benjamin for loving me so very much and opening up your huge heart to let us all in. You were the most loving cats. Our two boy angels. I hope I was half as good and sweet as you both were. Hope to see you soon, baby boys. We love you with all our hearts. Forever, Mom and Dad

To my dear friend and companion that died in cancer 21 February 2000. Sleeped away laying in my lap, to no more pain .To the rainbow Bridge.....

Benji:
I was so lucky to have you even if it was for such a short time. I hope you are happy running around at the Rainbow Bridge and will wait for me there. I miss you Benji. I will never ever forget you.

Idalia Fernandez

Benji; you will be sorely missed. You were very special. You gave us so much happiness and fond memories. You were mum's ray of sunshine. All our friends and family miss you badly. Love for ever. See you in heaven dear.

Ahmed, Yvonne and Kareem

Benji you've been part of our lives for almost 18 wonderful years. You have given us nothing but love, enjoyment, and happiness for all these years. We miss you terribly but we know that you're not suffering anymore and we're thankful for that. 18 years is a very long time for a dog to live and we were very blessed to have you with us for that long. Please know that you are constantly in our thoughts and that life won't be the same without you. However we have 18 beautiful years of memories. Benji we love you with all our hearts and you'll always be a part of us. We hope you are resting in peace.
All our love forever,
Mom, Mike, Pam and everyone else who was fortunate to know you.

Sharon A. Edelkind

A Life Long Friend

We have spent 18 long and happy years together,
I would love to see your smiling eyes look up at me one more time.
But the lord has taken you from me for a good reason,
I know that you could never fathom why for you had no understanding of what cancer was.
The lord had mercy on your unknowing soul and has left me behind to remember you always.
I shall not hate him for that but thank him for helping me see that it had to be done for I could have never done it alone.
So please forgive me for sending you away from me, I know how you never liked to be far from me, but one day my life long friend we will be reunited.
Until then please remember that you are not alone for you have taken my heart and soul with you.

Heather Smith

To my special Benners,,,,we miss you more than you'll ever know. You are my special baby and each and every day you'll be in my heart. You were my best friend and soul mate and I will miss you more than my heart can say. Everyone in this world should be so lucky to have someone like you in their life.

When you need me, just send me a sign and I'll be there. I love you more than words can say. I can't wait to cuddle with you again....love mum xoxo

Bennett ... gentle, loyal, loving and sweet. I will miss you always, but will remember you with all the love I have in my heart.

May all you pain be gone - run and play, feel the wind on your face, bask in the sun ... a new world with God awaits you. My angel boy.

Stephany Marchese

Dearest Benny,

You came home from the vet's office today. I grabbed you and pulled you in close to me. That all too familiar lump in my throat returned, and the tears were born again.

I have been missing you so. Since you've been gone, I have yearned for your companionship and your protection. I have longed to see you tease Rosie, frolic with the cats, or enjoy a r-i-d-e (the word that was only spelled, and never actually spoken).

We have all missed you terribly, especially Rosie. She absolutely refused to eat out of the bowl that she shared with you. We were forced to get her a new bowl, but she still rarely eats in the Kitchen, preferring to eat and drink out of the bowl in her kennel. She's been so quiet, looking disjointed and lost.

Last week, when we came home without you, she saw your collar in my hand. She sniffed it and looked at my swollen eyes and tear-stained cheeks. I'm sure she could sense the tremendous pain and dreadful sorrow in our hearts. She knew. Then one-by-one, the cats intently approached me and sniffed your collar, then the baby kitty rubbed her cheek against your collar. It was almost surreal....like some sort of pre-rehearsed ritual. They all knew. A testament that animals communicate and perceive in ways that we will never understand. From that moment on, Rosie stopped looking out the window to watch for you to come home.

Today is a bittersweet reunion. Though I have wished for you to come home, I wish you were here in the flesh, not in ashes in a little wooden box. But you are home again, where I can watch over you.

I am sorry that your genetics gave you so many challenges. We tried our best to battle your ills, but our love for you could not overcome the forces of nature, and ultimately, fate won the war. We made this painful decision to set you free only because of our love for you and our desire to ease your suffering. Our only concern was you, not money, and not our own wants and needs.

I know that one day we will be together again. For now, I hope you are waiting for us in a great meadow of tall, sun-kissed grasses. and fragrant wildflowers. Running, romping and prancing around happy and painfree with Kitty-ba, Pebbles, Pooky, and even Lucy....young, whole and vibrant again.

Benny, we love you and we will miss you until we are together again.

Sue and DeAnn

You passed away tonight, Benny... You were always there for me... I love you very much and I will miss you so much... I wish I could have done more for you... Please don't hate me... I will bury you in the front yard... Every time I pass by, I will think of all the love you showed me... I hope you find the peace in death that you couldn't find in life... I love you...

Some day we will meet again... I feel horrible that you waited so many hours for me, before you left... I guess being able to say goodbye to you is closure that I would have regretted not getting otherwise... Thank you Benny... I really do love you very much... I will always remember you and miss you...

J. Osgood

I can't believe how suddenly you left us. So unexpected and such a shock. You were such a good kitty, one of the best. There is such a giant hole ion my heart that nothing will fill. I can't believe you were taken from me so soon. You will live in my heart forever. I await the day I meet you at the Rainbow bridge. Go play with Baby in Fields of catnip. To lose you both the same day is more than anyone can comprehend. I will love you forever.

Merle Feeser

Benny, little boy, our first born. Just wanted you to know how much we loved you and miss you. It was unfair for a little boy who loved life so much to only have 3 years here. Especially since you first 5 months were not that great. I'll never forget how pathetic you looked in that cage with nothing to do until we found you. You blossomed into a beautiful dog who captured attention wherever you went. Mommy always tried to go places you could go because she knew how bad you wanted to go too. If we went anywhere without you, I would be thinking and often say, "Only one thing would make this perfect and that is if little boy could be with us." Nothing made me happier than to see you running free chasing a ball. Ironically, that is what you were doing when your life came to an end. If there is any comfort at all, it is in knowing you had a great last week of your life. The morning before you died I gave you an extra long belly rub in bed and an extra long walk that morning. That was our time together walking every morning. You and I loved it. Mornings are so difficult for me now because I miss walking with you so much. Nothing can replace that. Going to bed without you is also painful. Anything I ever did for you and with you was pure enjoyment. I could not wait to get home from work at the end of the day mostly because of you. Seeing you run to me and Leesy Bird jumping up and down yelling "Mommy, Mommy" is something I will always cherish in my memory. Thanks, by the way for being such a good big brother to your little sister. I know you were jealous at times and wish I could have spent more time with you. You still managed to be a good boy and protected your sister on our walks. Thanks for being such a good protector of your Mommy. You were extra protective and did such a good job 2 weeks before you were taken from us. We loved you so much and miss you terribly. You are missed by many. The neighborhood is slowly finding out what happened and are saddened by the news. Your doggie friends miss you too. Walks and playgrounds will never be the same without you. Take care, Benny boy. I hope you are playing a lot wherever you are and that we will meet again. Love always, Mommy, Daddy and Elise

Mary, Tom and Elise

Our little boy is always with us & we know he is waiting for the day when we, and his brother Sam, join him across the bridge.

Ron & Andy Pies

Benny, the baby of our family will be loved and remembered forever and was more than just a family pet.

Bentley was a loyal and loving friend to us all. His patience and beauty brought joy to all. It was so sad watching him slow due to illness and then be taken so suddenly by cancer. We all miss him and will hold a place in our heart for him.

Mike, Cindy & Dad

Bentley you are my blessing and my joy. The sunshine of everyday we were together. Anything could be faced with you in my life. I treasured each moment. You were a cat cat haters liked. You were exuberant and docile. I will miss your ear flaps, your nose licking, your pink nose, and smacking your bum.. The family is grieving, who will pick on Sylvia teach the girls, comfort Angelo and bite Tony's ears? Most of all my fluffy I miss your sweet sweet voice..I will never want to hear our song again..though it is playing in heart non-stop. Oui Oui Bentley...I will love you forever..

Joni Levine

Dear Beowulf,
It has taken me over a year to be able to ask for you to be added to this list. With each day that passes, I can't believe you're really gone. And each day that passes, I am glad that you are no longer suffering. You were such a brave kitty boy throughout your illness, putting up with frequent acupuncture sessions, special herbs and homemade food (okay - maybe that last part wasn't so hard). And through it all you remained your happy, loving self. I am grateful to the vets who helped you stay here two years beyond when the vet school thought you would leave, and grateful to you that you wanted to stay so badly with your dad and me. Your dad misses you so very much, and even though he doesn't talk about it much, I know he thinks about you every day, just like I do. I hope that Bear was waiting for you in the Summer Country. I hope that the two of you are curled up in a sunbeam together, giving each other a headbath and keeping each other company.
I used to tell people when I spoke about you that "there was nothing but happy in that cat. Happy to be awake, happy to be asleep, happy to be indoors, happy to be outdoors, happy to be eating, happy to be playing..." Quite simply Beowulf, you were and are, the best cat ever, and your dad and I were blessed to have you chose us that day at the pound. I hope one day that you will come back to us, but if you can't, I hope you'll wait for us in the Summer Country. 'Cause without you there, it wouldn't be heaven. I love you Beowulf, my big black puss, you big ol' Spud.
Love,
Your mom.

It is still so raw, just this morning you were playing with your brother Colt and tonight I can barely breath knowing that tomorrow morning your sleep box will be empty when I awake. Thank you for the joy and laughter as well as the tests of my patience. You were so beautiful. We all miss you my precious girl. Know you were loved greatly. Mommy and Daddy and Colt

He was one of those dogs that just never grew up. He never had a problems with self-esteem. In fact I think he felt quite superior to all. What he wanted took importance over anything you might have desired. If my Mother was on the phone longer than Bergen allowed he start chewing something up within her view. "Bergen! Stop that right now!" she'd say to no avail. He'd roll those beautiful black eyes up and look at her defiantly as if to say, 'Get off of there and try to make me.' He was a well trained dog when he wanted to be. He was a Champion who produced many puppies that followed in his steps in the show ring. He was the way he was because that's the way he wanted to be. My mother and I live a distance apart. When my health improved enough to visit Mom, Bergen hated it. He seized every opportunity to show his displeasure. Including lifting his leg on my sweatshirt while I happened to be wearing it. After a time we found common ground and a bond of love was formed. He loved my purse! When given the chance he'd tear everything out and discard it to the floor. He adored putting on lipstick (with my help) and being told how beautiful he was. Time and health problem took it's toll on our 'Bergie' all too soon. How can one say good-bye to an extension of self? We need him. He was everything I'd like to have been. Bold, up-front, self-assured, determined while at the same time he was self-focused, outrageous and often rebellious. Above all he loved my Mother. When he looked at her you could see the mutual devotion. In a lot ways my Mom is very much like him. No, she's never chewed up a magazine rack, shredded a library book or ate the corner of the sofa pillows. But she has always known what she's wanted and would not be detoured in her quest. Her love knows no boundaries. They were the perfect pair for the last 12 years. Tonight her heart is breaking. Our lives will never be the same. "Bergen, we could never get enough of you. While we miss you beyond what words can express, we know tonight you again run without pain. Where control was lost you now are the master of your spirit. Thank you for giving us the chance to live in your world for these 12 years. What a blessing you will remain to us! You are loved beyond life on this plain. We'll see you again, Bergie!"

Ruth & Jan Baker

My little baby, my little furball, how beautiful you were. I am glad that you had 14 years where you were adored, worshipped, fed, cared for and admired. I never though I could lose you. I took you for granted. I miss you so much now. How I wish I could hug you one last time. It was heartbreaking to see you ill. You were given to me as gift. I remember the day I went to pick you up at Mike O's house somewhere in the boonies of MD with my mother and her ivory Benz 190. You were so cute. Mike told me he had called you "Brewster" or "Bruiser" and that "Berlioz" was not an appropriate name for you. He had another big cat in his house and he said it was time I came to pick up my "gift" because the big cat was harassing you. Then when I moved into my own apartment, I brought you in one day and then I went to work. All day, I was tortured by the thought that you were alone all day, having moved from a 3-story townhouse with 3 people into a 1 bedroom apartment with a person who was only in at night. I couldn't bear your forlorn look when I came back from work and found you sitting on my sofa table. I couldn't bear it and took you right back to my parent's house where you ended your days and where you brought much hassle to my mom and much joy and happiness to my dad. Should I have kept you with me ? I felt you really didn't want to be in that apartment and didn't have the heart to imprison you against your will in my place. Was I right ? Darling, I can't bear to think of you cold and lifeless. As long as I can focus on something and truly live in the present, I am okay but the instant that my focus slips, I think of you and start to sob. You were so beautiful. Why didn't you tell me you would leave me one day ?

Our dear cat a champagne mink tonkinese he was born Oct 13 1992 he was the love of my life and my families, he was my protector, he followed me everywhere, waited while I was in the bathroom ,didn't get out of bed until I did, didn't go to bed until I did, he was the first one who greeted me at the door when I came home. I miss him dearly. He had cancer, he died Oct 7th 2000.i wish to thank Cheryl from the Grosse Pointe Cat Dr Clinic for making things a little easier on my family and myself. Bernard I will love you forever and will be with you some day. sadly missed by mommy Bernadette Robbie Brandon Spencer Bridgette, and cat family bailey Cookieman Conrad and Mable. Things will never be the same.

We love you Bert Bucket. See you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Randy and Patti

My Brave boy ~~ Bertie

We forged a bond in 1995,
When Bertie and Vickie brought me alive.
The bond grew deeper when he became ill,
With every shot and every pill.
He lived with me not yet six years,
So now I cry those scalding tears.
Diabetes - we'd conquered that and more,
But cancer darkened our lives and door.
Our bond is not broken, it never will be
For my Bertie waits at the Bridge for me.

Bertie (aka Albert) DonnyBrooke 5/22/95 - 7/30/01

Brooke, Don & Vickie

Dear Bertram,
Today you join your life-long mate, Betty-Boop, at the Rainbow Bridge. I know your hearts must be filled with joy, though mine is sad. Sad to live on this planet without hearing your sweet singing and chirping. But happy to know you are together again and enjoying freedom from pain and old age. Fly free together through eternity my sweet cockatiels!
Susan

Bo and Bess were the best pair of dogs ever and I feel humbled that they were mine.

Myra

I always said I never wanted a Bassett Hound, until you needed a home. You were my gooky eyed, gunky eared bad breathed Basset Hound, and I loved every minute you were with us. You were such a clown, but you were the one who figured out how to open the pantry, and how to climb up on my lap. You were definitely smarter then you looked. I miss your hugs and your kisses. I miss your "wiggle worm" routine when you were scratching your back, or wanted your belly rubbed. I am thankful you got my attention the morning you passed so that I stopped to give you a hug, so when you lay down for the last time that afternoon while I was at work you had given me the chance to say good-bye. I hope you knew how much I loved you.

Andi Rea-Whitlock

Beta was the busiest dog on earth. Not a moment went by when she wasn't at least thinking about what to do next. Her finest times were while she was retrieving a ball while walking her people and when she was swimming. She was an avid rock hound. Whenever possible, she would dive to the bottom of the local stream and bring up a rock. Sometimes she would wade in and start barking at and pushing a particular rock (I think they spoke to her) until she dislodged it and then she would proudly carry it home, even if it was bigger than her head. Even though she was often referred to as the "dog from hell" she did have a habit of eating money or tickets or any receipt she could get ahold of, she was the best dog in the world. I will miss my little girly girl. She stayed with me through both of my hip replacements, and when her original owner moved out. She taught about the importance of being whoever you are. She stayed true to herself right up until the end. God will bless her the way she blessed me.

Beth Dellow

Your footprints will always walk softly in our hearts.

For BETHANY our beautiful Cairn Terrier born April 17th, 1985 died Sept 10, 1999. We still miss you too much. It seems like yesterday that I had to put you down. My biggest mistake was leaving when the Vet said it would be messy. Beth, I am so sorry I did not stay with you for your last breath. Even when I made that crucial decision to end your suffering, you rested your head on my shoulder SO hard, I didn't know if you were telling me it was ok to let go, or if you wanted to go home. Not a day goes by than we don't think about you. But you are always with us. Not only in mind and spirit, but on my dresser! Glad I made the decision to cremate you. You are always here looking at us. We love you more than ever. Hey, Richard is home for good now! He was talking about you yesterday, and that is why I came back to this beautiful site. Wait for us! Love Mommy, Daddy, Richard, Dusty, Maggie and Winston. "A dog loves you when no one else does."

I had Princess for almost over 16 years and it's rare to get a Siberian Husky to live that long. She been a big part of my life and I feel so lonely without her in our lives. She meant everything to my family. But we know she's now healthy and young again in heaven and no longer in pain.
She was and will always have a place in my family's heart.
There will be no other dog to replace Princess in our hearts.

Betsy came into my life 6 years ago. She was left behind when previous owners moved from the house my family was buying. It took awhile, but eventually she trusted me and went from sleeping outside to sleeping on my bed with me. When she officially became my pet, we took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with parvo... but, Thank God she survived. From that moment on, our bond grew and she became my best friend. She went everywhere with us... camping, moving, no matter what... she was with me... Last year, she got sick... she was diagnosed with bladder cancer and a nerve disease that was paralyzing her legs and back... I was torn in half... but, eventually I had to let her go... April 5, 2001 was the darkest day of my life, but I know it was the best gift I could give to my Betsy-girl... I held her in my arms and my mom held both of us as we said our goodbyes and our vet gently gave Betsy the peace she so desperately needed and deserved... I turned 18 years old without her... and I miss her so much... I miss my Betsy-girl... She was an unwanted abandoned dog... but she gave me unconditional love... and I miss her...

Casey Williams

Betsy

I received the phone call today
That you had left and passed away
We know that in your final days
You had done anything for just one more play.

Your eyes had lost their shine
Every move would entice a whine
But you fought thru
To show the love between us and you

You were here for twelve years,
And now we all shed our tears,
We understand that you did your best
But now my friend the time has come to rest

For your final journey you will soar so high
And we will always know to look for you in the sky
For you have left on the wings of a dove
And have bestowed upon us the gift of your love

Lord, our friend has come home to you
Home to a peace and love so true
Lord we know she is in a better place,
But we still can't keep the tears from our face

She was my dog, a friend like no other
But I left her with my father and mother
Her final years gave her a yard to run
Final years that gave her such fun

Please let there be no mistaking,
Betsy our hearts for you are aching
We know we will see you again
Until then I will miss you dearly my friend

Know this Betsy that though we're apart
You will not be forgotten cause you touched your paw to my heart
And though I am sad I must not forget
That there will come a time to cross the bridge and see my pet

And know that in our hearts you will be
Until that day when you will see me
We will be together again
I love you Betsy, my dearest friend.

You were a special dog and will miss you dearly. Goodbye my friend, and I will see you again. I love you Betsy.

Jeff Stanley

Betsy was a very special friend. She loved cats they were her family. Her best friend was Schooch she raised him from a baby kitten. Mitzy her other friend cat miss her very much we also miss her couch buddy Sammy he left us one year ago in Feb. I know he and Betsy are sharing a cloud bed somewhere at Rainbow Bridge. All our love from your mum dad and Schooch and Mitzy we love you very much

Kathleen Keough

Bette you came to us as one year old, so happy always. You were our first show dog and first obedience dog. You loved obedience and enjoyed working...I almost changed your name to Sunny since you were always smiling. We can't believe you are gone now. You aren't forgotten...we see you in all your old spots. Taylor and Darcee miss you too. We saw your shooting star so we know you are at the Bridge with Ellie and Tiff..but we wish you were here instead. I miss your golden flash in the backyard..chasing the squirrels. you never did anything half way, but did it with a flair. We tried very hard to make your last months happy ones so you could do all the things you always liked. But finally we had to let you go..the cancer had spread and we knew it.
So we held you gently and guarded your trip to the Bridge as we had guarded you all your life. Rest easy now Bette, play hard...we will see you again. We all love and miss you sweet girl.

Your family

She and her mate came to live with me when they were at least 10. Neither one knew how to fly or had ever been out of their tiny cage. Their owner no longer had time for them. The vet gave them 2-3 years -- that was 16 years ago.

They have since learned to fly, to eat fresh fruits and veggies, to sit outside in the sun in their enlarged cage and to spend free time out of the cage EVERY day.

Beu was the best dog I ever had. we adopted him from a local shelter when he was 3 months old. the vet said he was perfectly healthy, but he wasn't. he was suffering from distemper. a deadly disease which most dog's who are diagnosed unfortunately are put down. we tried every thing we spent more than we should have to keep him well. but nothing we did helped. I knew he was suffering but I couldn't give up. every day I would walk out side to see him lying by himself in his dog house. he was very loyal and loved playing too. he was very intelligent. he was the PERFECT COMPANION! a week or so before his first birthday( the same day as my birthday) he was put down. my parents took him during the day while I was at school so I wouldn't have a panic attack. they told me my perfect angel had started having seizures that morning. I still loose my breathe every time I think about him and try hard to keep breathing. this year when we put him down it was the same day my grandma died the year before and this year was the most miserable birthday I have ever had. sometimes I cry myself to sleep thinking of him. I will never have another dog like my bo bo. and I will always miss him.

Christine

We miss you still, and talk about you all the time, you are forever in our hearts.

Gary & Judy Proctor

Good night sweet Westie baby, mommy will miss you and will hold you in her heart until we meet again in heaven. I will remember you cold nose and sweet kisses. Sissy and Daddy will miss you too. Be well, be happy and healthy. I will always love you.....

Laura Richards

Bianca Snow,
We will miss the way u use to "tell" use to do things in your own special way. We will miss the times that we have watched you play with the hose and bite at it. We will miss all the times you would put Bailey in his place. We will especially miss all the times u would lay on the raft and try to catch a tan though it was always impossible since you are white. The way you use to float around the pool and the way you would play with the cats. We will miss everything about you miss Bianca. You were torn from our hearts way to young and way to unfairly. For I hope one day they will find a cure for those toxins that took you away from us. We will miss u greatly. I hope you find comfort and happiness where ever you maybe. For we will all be together one day, just beyond the Rainbow Bridge.
LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
Mommy and Jackie

Biff was the sweetest little dog. He loved french fries, ice cream and his mommy.

Melody Cathey

Big Boy, you and your sister, Baby, were litter mates who were not adopted. I never meant to keep either of your, but can't imagine never having had you both in my life now. Big Boy, I miss your talking to me outside the bathroom window each morning as I get ready for work. You were a loyal friend, always protective of your family and we still miss you dearly.

Mardell

I'll miss you kisses and your fuzzy face. I'll miss you forever, bigfoot.

Melissa Keeling

Big T was a wonderful cat. I had to have him euthanized after he was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes. He was so special. He was a very intelligent and loving cat. I miss him very much. Big T, I love you. Wait for me at Rainbow Bridge! Tell every9ne else how much I love them and miss them too.

Sylvia A. Scott

Bijou, you brought much happiness into our family. Thank you for all of the great memories. We miss you dearly... you will always be in our hearts. Love, Elise, Brian, Lauren, Joe, and Judy.

She never hurt a thing in her life. All she wanted to do was give all of her love and life to us, and those around her. We only hope and pray that she is in a better place without the pain that wracked her small body during the last hours of her life.

Bruce and Marg

The Angels called my best friend home to be with them on 12/16/01. He came into my life at a time when I felt so alone. He helped me to smile when I thought I would never smile again. My heart aches for the gentle touch of his cold nose and the wag of his tail. Bilbo was my buddy and constant companion, I hope that heaven knows how lucky they are to have him.
He will remain in my thoughts and heart always.

Bilbo was a very special and loving Boy who will be missed by all who knew him and cuddled him. He will also be missed by his special girlfriend Abigail.
Bilbo was a lovable boy who loved a cuddle, love and enjoyed his freedom to roam where he liked.
He is now reunited with his brother Frodo in that special part of Heaven reserved for those special in Gods eyes.

Gary Yates

I miss my cat with all my heart I thought that we would never part. We've been together for so long, now that you have left me how do I go on. We started together in Hawaii so long ago, then move back to my hometown some years ago. You were there as the family grew, you were my purrbaby through and through. On the day I had to let you go was the hardest day my world was to know. I miss you Billy with all my heart you have taken away a very big part. One day I will see you, that I'm sure, Bill I miss that ongoing Purrrr!

Robyn Glisson

I can only think of you now laying in the soft arms of an Angel with the sun shining on you, in the warm light, where you always wanted to be. I love you sweetheart, sleep with the Angels.

Deb Miller

Billie, my best friend I love you with all my heart I'm so sorry I wasn't with you for your final breaths. You are so dear to me. since you love me as I love you nothing can cut our love in two. I love you baby

Crissei Stone-Wallen

Billie (2 year old shepherd/black-lab mix)was an incredible dog. She was beautiful to look at but her real beauty was the love and support she gave my friend while going through chemotherapy, surgery and radiation for breast cancer. And then again Billie was there when my friend had to have further surgery. My friend is only 45.

Billie and my friend were inseparable. The love between the two of them was a real treasure. Billie met alot of people because she went everywhere with my friend. She touched alot of lives with her gentle spirit.

She was my friend's family. Otherwise she is really alone. She has good friends but Billie was everything.

Please say a prayer for Billie and especially for my friend. This is really a tragedy.

Thank you so much.

Elyse

Billy, we miss your loveable personality and your talking and singing every day. When we meet on the Rainbow Bridge, we'll sing "The Eency Weency Spider" again like old times.

Billy was the best friend we ever had and we miss him very much. God Bless him please.

Glen, Marsha & Mary

My birdy buddy was special like all the rest, but his was a bond that transcended his species. He didn't ask for much, but he gave a lot. I didn't need an alarm clock for 15 years! His favorite food was raisins and everyday he was quick to ask for his share. I know all our pets are special and Billy was no exception. My wish for him (who hid his illness so well from me)is that he is free from pain and discomfort that he must have endured for quite a while in silence. Billy, I know you are happy now and I will be with you again someday. I know when that day comes, we will greet each other with "Whatcha doin' Billy?" All my love to you and Godspeed.

Karen Gardner

You had just won your first trophy and were on your way for more. You loved to walk to the mail box with me and chase me around the outside of the house. I was a loss when the dog attacked you in the middle of the night. He came into your yard, you thought he wanted to play. We miss you Billy.

Amanda Moreland

To our darling Bob,
You gave us unconditional love, and touched our hearts so deeply n your short life. Through all your hardship you were the most patient and tolerant cat and were simply amazing. We will never forget your softness, your affection, or your gentle head butts. Vale Bobby.

Dee, Kate, Anna and Brian Jackson

Billy Boy (beagle) was our very first dog. He was mischievous, but was also sweet, tenacious, very brave and the love of our lives! He lived a LONG and happy life, and although we miss him, we are glad he is happy, eating and playing and waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. Rest in peace, our wonderful companion.

The May/Walton Family

Billy Lionheart is the name I gave him the day we met--just two short days ago, on December 19. He was hiding under the workshop steps and he was so weak, he couldn't come out. He was terrified, so I couldn't help him at first, but after I'd brought him food and water, and left him alone to eat and drink, he summoned the strength to pull himself out from under the steps, into the winter sunlight. I wrapped him in a blanket, brought him indoors, and placed him on the floor beside my desk. I fed him and gave him water through an eye dropper because he couldn't hold his head up to eat or drink. At dinner time, when my neighbors got home from work, I walked next door to tell them that I'd found their cat and he was very ill. I offered to carry him over to them but they said they couldn't take care of him--it seems they'd taken him to the vet last weekend, had been told he was going to die, and had let him outdoors so he'd go off and die on his own. I told them I planned to keep him, to make his final days more comfortable. I'd already stopped using their name for him--Punky--because I felt that such a courageous little soul deserved a name with more dignity. Oddly, he responded to the name Billy the first time I used it.

I kept him by my side throughout the last two days of his life. He was on his little bed right beside my desk all day as I worked, and right beside my bed at night while I slept. If anyone had told me it would be possible to learn to love someone in just a few hours, I wouldn't have believed it before I met Billy. I have rarely met a cat of such warmth and sweetness. When I petted him, he'd wrap his paw around one of my fingers. If I left the room, he'd meow until I came back.

Wednesday--our first day together--he ate and drank very well, but yesterday his appetite decreased as the day went on. I contacted his vet who confirmed what the neighbors had said, that Billy's case was hopeless. All I could do was keep him warm and comfortable. The vet offered to put Billy to sleep at no cost to me since I'd been willing to take him in when his former family didn't want him. I told him I'd bring him in on Friday if he continued to get worse.

He'd stopped eating last night, and would only drink a few drops of water at a time. I sat with him for hours, petting him, praising his warmth, beauty, determination, and courage. This morning, at 6:00 a.m., he began to have a seizure, so I held him in my arms, stroked his head, and talked to him. At 6:01, he quieted, and at 6:05 he sighed his last breath.

This afternoon I'll bury him beneath the pecan tree he loved to play in, alongside my departed feline friends Puddy, Frankie, and Emma. I hope he'll meet them, and that the four of them will wait for me on the other side of the rainbow bridge. We might have only had two days together, but Billy Lionheart taught me much, and I grew to love him. I consider myself his "mom" and I'll miss him.

Elizabeth Mills

We will never forget our lovely pet, a true member of our family.

Boris Shukhat

Bimbo, with his one blue and one brown eye, raised my children. He suffered the indignities of having Mary put ribbons in his hair. When the children left home, he stayed with me. When I remarried, he accepted a new man, a new dog, and a new home. He loved riding in the car and enjoyed our vacations. When he died that day at the vet's, I cried for my loss. I put his shirt, tags and bowl in a box to keep them. I know now that Bimbo is waiting for me but has the company of his step-sister Perla and his playmate Cuki. Now my other child, Spike, has joined them. Play together until I can play again with you, my babies.

Betty Enoch

We loved you for 16 years and nothing will replace the joy that you have given all of us, we miss you so much.

Monica & Jim Gatto and Family

I'm sorry Bingo, for not giving you our best.
It is a regret that we weren't able to see your last days.
Till then, rest well.

Kwek Lay Ting

Hoping my Bingo is running free now. He was unable to walk for 6 months and was waiting for a new drug that is coming out this fall to try to help him walk. He never got the chance to try the drug since he just passed away. May he run as fast and as long as he wishes on the other side. Please say a prayer for my dog. Thank you and my God Bless all the helpless animals. Marci

He gave alot of joy to my sister and her family. He will be remembered for the few years that they had to remember him. He was a great first dog for my nephew to grow up with. May the Angels take and care for him always.

Winnie Burckhard

Binkie was our special kitty for only about 24 hours. We found him at the Humane Society left there by a heartless breeder who was through with his services. Our wonderful vet discovered he was terminal with a genetic disease found in Persians (polycystic kidney disease). We believe it is quite probable that the breeder was aware of his illness and dumped him on the shelter. Unfortunately during the 7 weeks he was in the shelter no one there realized he was ill. Despite the shock and tears we decided to end his suffering. I love him and miss him and wish he were with me now. How could a little sweetheart like our Binkie ever be replaced. All he ever wanted was a loving home and we hopefully gave him the most loving day of his life. I can see his beautiful face and feel the soft curve of his head in my hand. I miss him so much.

Margaret

A gift from God....a beam of sunlight

Kris Hillstrom

Binky, We love you and miss you very much. You were a very huge part of our family. We think of you daily and look forward to seeing you again across the Rainbow Bridge.

Larry A. Smith

Binky was a wonderful boy. He touched our lives in many ways, he will always have a special place in our hearts.

Leisha & Neal

Binx ,
You have left so many broken hearts with your passing.
You left two sisters who I watch look for you everyday.
You have also left two little girls who cry for you .
You are loved and missed very much. Until we meet again
we will keep you in our hearts and think of you everyday.

Love always
Mommy and Daddy

Thank you, Binx for a treasured relationship. We will all miss you dearly. You are so very special to us. I know you will be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.

Carolyn

To our friend, thank you for the joy you bestowed upon our home. Our sweet furbaby, we will miss the "dook, dook, dook" whenever you were out and about. We will miss the carrying of chip bags that were twice your size down the hall and your fondness for our underwear drawers. We will simply miss all the laughter you brought to our home. We know you are happy at the bridge and look forward to one day playing with you again. Thank you baby for just being our little Birdie. God Bless. We Miss you terribly. Love Mom, Dad and David.

"To Biscuit"
I still hear you cry as I lay by your side on your last night at home. I told you it was okay to go but I didn't know that it would hurt so much. Someone unkind & unloving took you away for they poisoned you. How could they do that to us? Your bright blue eyes never went unnoticed-your "eraser" pink nose Daddy loved to chew on-your big ears stood pert most of the time. "If only you could hear!" was my cry. Now you've gone to Rainbow Bridge-not fighting to stand straight or stumbling about-not throwing up all the water & bile. Now you can hear with those beautiful "cardboard" ears. Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge. The shot the vet gave you Sunday didn't seem to work but you were happy that day on what you remember to be your last car ride. Hanging your head out the window, fur flying everywhere. Your head in the breeze with your eyes closed & your lips being blown by the wind. I held you all night to keep you close. Andy & I were with you when you had your first seizure-stroking & loving you all the while. The vet tried flushing the poison from your body. He said you were a fighter-holding your own. But now there'll be no more seizures. Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge. You'll run & hop thru the fields without a care-you'll know something's missing because your family's not there. But just stay there and play at Rainbow Bridge for one day we will meet again. Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge our days are so lonely & empty. Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge-we won't have to watch our glasses of tea. We buried you under your favorite tree in the front yard-that way you'll always be on guard. No one can harm you anymore-Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge. I held you all night & Andy & I carried you outside when you had to go. Andy held on to about 2:30am-a boy never loved his dog so much. After Andy fell asleep I held you & cried, carrying you every time you'd tried to walk, counting every breath you'd take. Now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge there'll be no more crys of "Mama, please help me!!" I did what I could to comfort you, dropping water on your lips when you couldn't stand. But now that you've gone to Rainbow Bridge I know you're not suffering & I'll see you again. We love you Biscuit & we always will.

Tammy Harbin

Biscuit, gentle giant, lover of all, thank you for the gift of your life shared with us. Thank you for your warm purr and "biscuiting paws". I will miss you, but I am so grateful for the lessons of life which you've taught me. I love you.
Be at peace my dear one and friend..Mom

Always loving, always trusting Bisky. We miss you but know you are waiting for us on the Rainbow Bridge.

Claire McConnell

Our beloved dog Bitsy passed away after providing us with 19 wonderful years of companionship. She was a tribute to every dog that was ever born. She was so loved by her family. She embodied everything a good dog could ever be and more. My son was six years old when we brought her home as a puppy. His grief was captured in this comment, "I don't remember my life at all without her and can't imagine it now that she is gone." My son will be 25 yrs old this year. She will always be remembered in our hearts and can and will never be replaced. We love you Bitsy.

Catherine

He was my little man... now he's my little angel... Fly hi little guy! ;-)

Lori, Brenda & Casi

B.J we miss you very much. Even though you are in a better place you shall always remain in our hearts. Please protect us day and night, until the day comes that we meet you again. We wish we could she you again, people say you were just a dog but not to us, to us you were a family member and our best friend. Gwen, Patches and Buddy miss you very much too.
Love: MOM, DAD, LAUREN, JASON GWEN, PATCHES AND BUDDY

Yesterday, we lost our most special cat we had. Her name was B.J. She died in a freak household accident that has broken my son, Connor and my Wife, Robbi and my heart completely in two. Our grief comes and goes but our love and minds keep drifting towards the heavens where I know she is happy and playing with our other cats in heaven.

The Allens

BJ, my wonderful dog, I will miss you so much, I'm so sorry that I got sick and didn't get to be with you at the end.
We had 10 great years, and I couldn't have loved you more, even if you did hate obedience work....you did earn your ribbon.
I'm going to miss you so much, but at least I know you are with Bear, Sabine, your wonderful mom, Ashley, and dad Midas.
such a loss.......

My Dear B.J. I still can't believe you are gone, it seems only yesterday you came into our lives you were such a beautiful and loving baby and we all miss you I can't even put it into words. I was away the night you went to the bridge but Daddy and your brother Tigger and your sisters Misty and Littlebit were with you. You will always be in my heart. When I pull up to the house I still look for you in the window but you are not there. I know you are happy and free of pain. We will all be together one day but until then I know you are having fun with BooBoo and Bogart, Mocha and Ebony. Until we meet again We love and miss you very much. Love, Mommy, Daddy, Tigger, Misty and LittleBit

B.J. was not just a cat. He was a people lover who brought joy to all who encountered him. He loved to be held and talked and had the most intent stare, like a human in a cats body. His eyes were as big as saucers and his heart big as the sun. All he wanted was to love and be loved.

Erin & Brian Cragin

He was the best. He was loved by everyone who had the pleasure to come in contact with him. He is missed desperately.

Aimee

I want to thank Rosemary for her concern and help. Kimo her black lab was Bjonko's closest friend. Frank and myself are very saddened by Kimo's death 2 month's ago

Barbara

I think of you and still I see
your bright new face in the Christmas tree.
So sweet, so mean and loving, too.
You knew the world turned just for you.

Your purr would wake me up at night
Insisting that I hold you tight.
I sheltered you inside my house.
You'd never even seen a mouse.

Yet, every day you begged of me,
"please let me run, let me be free".
"I want to climb, to catch a bug
and not just decorate your rug."

And so, Black Cat, I let you go.
Little man, I miss you so.
It's God who pats your head each day
as you wait for me to come your way.

Still, there is no need for sorrow.
You wait for me in some tomorrow.
The God I love looks after you.
Until I get to Heaven, too.

Elaine Joyce

Little Black Cat was given to me by a dear friend. From the moment he arrived in our house, he took over. The first time he saw our white, expensive, golden decorated Christmas tree, he stood and looked then climbed up the middle, creeped out onto a branch and just laid there looking sweet. That was the ONE thing in the house he didn't try to take apart! He always slept in our bed, under the cover, and insisted we get up early to entertain him. He loved the computer and would pat the keyboard, even when we were not on it at the time. He was vocal and opinionated and carried on lengthy conversations with whomever would listen. We don't know why he died - we just found him one morning. It has been a while, but he was such a part of the family that he is missed just as much today as the day he went to the "Rainbow Bridge".

For Blackdog: Most loyal friend, please know that you will be missed. We love you and we look forward to seeing you at the bridge. Until then. Love, Jim, Mary and Andy

To my dear sweet Blackie who passed on December 19, 2001:

I will love you forever. You are the sweetest kitty I ever had the honor to care for. Never complained no matter what, and always there for me. I will always think of you and remember the unconditional love you gave me. You seemed to know my every mood. I wish you could have beaten the cancer, we sure did give it a try didn't we sweetheart. Now your pain is gone and you can run and play with your sister Buffy. You both are always in my heart and always on my mind. Rest in peace. Give a kiss to your sister Buffy for me, I will always remember the 2 of you together, always in some kind of mischief. But the 2 sweetest kitties I ever loved.

Your mommy, Barb

Blackie was a survivor. I can't realize that she's gone. But she lived free, she was always free. And that was how she wanted to live, Blackie died living her life. Being free. And now my baby is gone, and I wont see her for a long time. Just yesterday she was in my arms, chirping. Now we will bury her and remember her always. She left two friends and companions, Hercules and Blaze. They will help with the sorrow, but all I want is to hold her again.
I Love you Blackie, and I will dedicate my life to helping the ones that no one loves. I will love them, but not the way I loved you. You are my best friend,

Love Forever,
Chelsea

I will see you again, on Rainbow Bridge.

We never intended on having a kitten but when we first saw him and he didn't have a home we just had to keep him. We had him only a few years but we will miss him soooo much. Rusty will miss having him as a playmate. He will be in our hearts forever!!!!!

Bo, Brenda, Tj, Ashley, Jordan & Rusty

A song about his eyes

Emerald Eyes
His eyes are green like Ireland, Ireland, Ireland.
I cry the name of Emerald Isle my home.
Repeat

I love him so much and Eire*.
Repeat

I want the Emerald eyes back home.
Repeat

*Eire means Ireland in Gaelic, (the language spoken in Ireland.)

Megan

It has been one full year to the day, I miss you so very much. I'm burning a candle in your memory and others that also lost their love ones. Blackie lost his life to cancer and now I'm writing this letter to also leave a message that grandpa(my dad)also has cancer. It was sudden, its a fast cancer and it has already spread. Blackie, if you are watching, please meet him and be with him until we all are back together again. Its very hard to be with the living when you start losing all that you love but I know its part of life and we have to be strong. You will never be forgotten, you were very special to me and my best buddy, until we meet again...I will always think of you!

Daniel Cormier

Thank you Blackmin, for 12 years of joy, love, healing and touching all of those (animal lovers and others) that came into your path. You have been such a wonderful and special friend, one that we shall never forget. I see you smiling down on us from afar and I feel your spirit.

You will be greatly missed. We love you, momma and daddy

Kurt and Shannon

My dear Blackjack,
It's been a while since I lost you. I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you needed me most. And I'm so, so very sorry I left you with that strange woman. She was not the right person to decide your fate. I do believe she made the right choice though, as I would not want to see you suffer any longer. I only wish we'd have known sooner that you had heartworms.
I love you, my precious little Blackjack. No body could ever replace you, ever.

Blackjack, You knew what you were doing when you moved in and adopted us. You came up through the woods one day, and took up residence on our carport. We fed you, of course, but we didn't encourage you otherwise because we already had so many cats. Then one day you tangled with some unfriendly creature, and you were hurt. I took you to the vet, and from that day forward, you were officially our cat and had the run of the house and a special place in our hearts. You were a gentle giant of a tom cat. All twenty pounds of you were filled with love. We miss you so very much, but you gave us eight years of your love and left us your son. I just know God would not have created such angel of a cat and not have prepared a place for you in Heaven.

Nancie, Boyd, and Your Cat Friends

Black Jack was a gentle giant, standing 6.5 hands tall, solid black, with a strong stallion crest. His whinnie was the deepest and strongest I've ever heard, yet his disposition towards humans was as gentle as a lamb. During his last final hours I held his head into my chest while he obeyed and performed everything asked of him even while in severe pain-that was his way. He is now painless, even though my pain is still so fresh it feels it'll never go away. He will always be loved and sorely missed, tucked away deep in my heart.

Nena

My sweet little Black Kitty, you were in my life for such a short time. You gave me more then you will ever know. I will never forget your sweet little face or the way you looked at me as you died in my arms. I will never forget you my friend

Cat

(A wonderful poem I found on the internet, unfortunately, I don't know who wrote it. It pretty much sums up my feelings.

Golden Memories
They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would of died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one else could fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane. I'd walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again. Our Family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But God calls us back one by one, the chain will link again.

Connie Lee

These two greyhounds were very special people in my family. And when called home they took a piece of my heart with them. I remember Blade running with the horse out in the pasture. And Vernon was such a big lap dog. He ran like the wind even though he only had three good legs. I love them both and there isn't a day that goes by that they don't cross my mind.

Holly Daivs

Blanca, A.K.A Binka,
The times that we have spent together were wonderful and I'll never forget them. You have made so happy and when I was sad you were always there to lick my tears away. I'm also so sorry that for the last five years of your life you were so sick. Sometimes I think that the only reason that you kept on going was because of the love and bond that we both had between each other. I know that you are in a better place now. I want you to know that you did a great job being my best friend. Rest in Peace and I'll see you when it's my time. I love you sooooooo much and that will never change no matter what may come in the years to come.

Your Best Friend,
Jennifer Szandzik

To the wonderful little white fluffball we shared life with for twelve years, our dear Blanco, the Beej.

You came into our lives by such coincidence. You were so very special, so gentle but determined to get your own way. We are so happy to have had you in our lives. "On t'aime beaucoup et pour toujours, little boy. Nous te souhaitons beaucoup de "marches" et de "manger-manger" où tu vas. On se reverra un jour. Va rejoindre Tuffy et Chanel, notre amour, et sache que tu es dans notre coeur et nos pensées. Si tu le peux, envoie un autre esprit aussi pure et généreux que toi, si cela est possible, pour veiller sur nous."

Carole, Michel and Cara

Blaze, we love and miss you. You remain with us in our hearts. Thank you for your love and the wonderful years we had together.
Blaze was the sweetest, most gentle dog. You and Stewart be happy together until we are all reunited. Love, Your Family

Lorraine Fuller

My heart is breaking it seems so unfair. There was nothing wrong .You ran and played all day Wednesday then Thursday you lay dead. A heart attack? You were just a baby. I've had you since you were three months old .You were my life's dream and now your gone. I wanted to go with you as they laid you to rest I still do but I know you'd want me to go on. I was scared of horses but we had a bond we were one as we rode . It seems as if the hurt wont end I miss you and I love you. I'm glad you didn't suffer I'm suffering enough for both of us. Of all the animals I had I never had the bond as strong for any as I did you. I love you wait at Rainbow bridge for me so we can ride again!!!

Joan

You brought us into your life and enriched ours...until we play again!!!!!!

Blondiedog the food monger...I miss you so much, especially when eating smartfood..that was your favorite

JL Johnson

Blondie, You were our beautiful wheaten baby girl. You came to us as a stray and lept into our hearts. You had a broken hip, and we got it fixed for you. You were a real daddy's girl who insisted on riding in the truck right next to your daddy. Weekends were special. I would watch through the kitchen window as you walked next to your daddy out to the truck on your way to get the morning papers from the corner store. I loved to watch you as you buried little treasures in the yard for later.
Other animals we took in, you took to them as their friend, and soon we were family. When your arthritic hip hurt you, I would give you your medicine and stay with you until you felt better. Your brown eyes under your hair showed so much love, and when you would reach out with your paw on our hands, you showed us your love and devotion.
Our hearts broke when you died. It was the hardest thing to do to say goodbye. I look to the day when we will see you again. In the meantime, play with Chloe, Nathan, and Jack. Romp and play girl, and don't cry, we will all be together again in the blink of an eye! We love you girl. I love you Blondie. Mom.

I want to let Blondie know that I WILL always LOVE YOU. Even though she is not here now she will always be here in spirit. My dog was put to sleep on October 12, 2001. She had lyme disease, and her two back legs were not functioning well. Every time that she would walk, every step was a painful step. She was on medication for the lyme disease, but it was not working. I love her, and Me and my Family miss her a whole bunch. We know that you are now looking down on us, and we will be together again. Words just cannot express how much we still love you. Even though you are not here. We still remember all the good, and funny things about you. Like how you used to always bark at the pizza guy whenever he came to the door. Or when you chased all of the cars that were coming up the driveway. I watched them put the poison inside of your body. I was there every moment of your last minutes of life. We didn't want to do it, but it was the only thing that would not make you suffer anymore. Would not give you anymore pain. The way that you looked at me when they were putting you to sleep, I will never forget. I will also never forget the way that you looked at me, and the way that you licked my face, and at that time I knew that you were saying Goodbye, and I love you. We love you BLONDIE. You will be missed, but you soul, and spirit will always be in our minds, and in our hearts.

Jessica

I loved you not only because you were my best friend but because you were so uniquely special remember all the funny little things you would do like how you would snore in the middle of the night and how you would let out a big burp right after eating your dinner I remember how excited you would get right after you would have your bath and your would run around the house like a crazy dog because you were a "new pooch" as we would say. I remember the funny game you and your daddy would play and how you would bark and growl and pretend to bite him and we would laugh and laugh at how crazy you were. I remember when I would come home from lunch and you were sleeping in your grandmas closet on top of all her clothes and I would pick you up like my baby and we would go outside and get the mail then you would sit with me on the bed while I ate my lunch and watched my soaps. What am I gonna do without my baby? you were my best friend since I was 8 years old. Who's gonna greet me when I come home from work? Who am I gonna take care of, and love, and love me back? I will never forget you and you will always have my heart. No person I have ever and will ever meet will come close to you. You were amazing and you made me want to live when no-one else did. I will miss my baby Blondie forever

Blossom
Best Friend and Loving Care Giver
Age 7 ½ (52 ½ in doggy years)
Blossom was the best friend a person could ever have. She gave me happiness, love, life. She showed me the finger things in life. When her tail wagged, the eyes of the people she was around lit up. When her tummy itched (for attention) family and friends stood in line to scratch it. With a touch of her cold, wet nose, she touched your heart. And the way your heart felt after she had warmed it will never change. Blossom was a caring dog right from the start. Curling up to me and never leaving my side. She found comfort when she knew her back was touching something as she slept, no matter what it was. An interesting dog, she ate "Cheez puffs," but wouldn't take them from just anyone. She would only take them from my Aunt Sandy. Blossom was a loyal dog, always barking when strangers came around. She didn't bark at everyone, only the people she didn't know, and even if she was barking at you, she would still greet you with a wagging tail. Even though Blossom may not be in this world now, she will be waiting at Rainbow Bridge with a wagging tail, just waiting to see us again. She will forever be missed.

Hope

Blucious, you filled our lives with joy for many years, we hope we made you just as happy with tummy rubs and scallops.
We can't wait to see you again on the Rainbow Bridge.

Love, Sue & Lou

Blue Its been 1 year now since your death you were so suddenly taken away from us you died at 830 a.m. and dad had you buried by 9 a.m out by the barn over looking the horses as you always did we never got to say good bye it was a freak accident something that never should have happened I miss you so very much I cry every time I think of you sweet one I only pray that you did not feel any pain. which I don't think you did. Please blue know that me and dad love you and Tippy to he still looks for you.

Marina Curry

Blue was a GOOD DOG! She will always be in our hearts and those of her Fur-family; Chloe, Erin, Kelly, and Sam. We love you "Boo-Boo." Diane & Joe Pomerenk

To Blue, a.k.a. Wooter:

You died in 1996, having been my best friend for fifteen years, since I was eight years old. I think of you everyday, and I miss you very much.

Even though I love all dogs, and I have another friend to share my life with, there will never be another dog like you. You were warm and loyal and handsome. You had a big black nose! Your tail was always happy, and you danced when I scratched your behind. You loved me unconditionally even when I was not old enough to know how to love and respect you all the time. You were patient and forgiving. I am sorry I was not there to hold you when you died. I know you are at peace, perhaps looking down on me proud that you helped make me the loving, gentle, caring friend I am today. I thank God for you.

love, Bos

To my beautiful Bellie Bumpkin, I miss you so.
Always and ever!

Helena Holland

It has been many years since you left us. Not a day goes by without looking at your picture. Now we need you to take good care of Thumper who joined you on January 17th, 2001. We love you Blue.

The Lavanga's

My dear friend

Anne Pipino

He was an unwanted, unloved, unnamed lovebird that many people worked to save and became the beloved pet to a grateful owner who named him Blue Eyes. So many people came to love him in his 3 weeks with us and I hope he felt that love. Now he feels no more pain, he can run and hop and fly in the sunshine that he loved so much. I know they were waiting there for you at the bridge and I will find you all when I come home, then we can fly together. We love you always.....

August 16th, 2001

I knew eventually I would have to write this but, I had no idea it would be so soon. I knew that you both were missing Bud (especially you Sweetie). I hope that he was there to meet you when you both crossed over to the Bridge. This is so hard for me to do. I am still not sure that the decision I made was right.

I am glad that I took you both out of the home you were in and gave you a happy life for as long as I possibly could. I would like to think that the time you kids spent in my care was worth it. I know that you were suffering Blue J. I knew the best thing, the last thing I could do for you was to release you from the pain and suffering.

It's the decision to send you along Sweetie that haunts my mind. I know that you had been ill for quite some time and despite seemingly endless tests, we could find nothing. The last few months without Bud you seemed to have lost you zest for life. When I brought you along to see the vet with Blue J she mentioned one more treatment to try. I thought it would be too much for you to have to deal with the loss of your brother and daily medication. I though the kindest thing to do would be to send you along to Rainbow Bridge.

Since you and Blue J had always been together in life I felt it was unfair to separate you in death. I hope that I made the right decision. The look in your eyes when I came home from the vets without Bud was heart breaking. I couldn't bear putting you through that emotional trauma again. I thought you would be happier with Bud and Blue J.

Please know that my decisions for both of you were made out of love and came straight from the heart. I know that you are all united happy and healthy again. Tell all the members of "our" flock that we love and miss them and watch over us. Please meet me at the Bridge when it is my time. Until then my pretty little "keety kids"....

Love Always,

JENN & Don

My dear Bluekee, Thank you for your companionship. You brought me so much joy and I miss you tremendously. But I do know that someday we will be together again and never be parted. You'll always be in my heart. I love you so much my precious blue bird. Your Mommy, Hazell

To the best friend that I ever had, or will ever have.

She gave her love unconditionally, and was gentle, and loving, right to the end.

Dustie L

His name was Blue Mist a grey Arab Gelding He was spirited and stood so proud and once could gallop all day
As time marched on his legs grew tired and no longer could he canter and pace upon the ground
He tried really hard to stay on that day but found the task too great
I love him and miss him and find this tribute a little Hard
To a faithful friend who grew up with me and leant me his neck to hug and a shoulder so strong. Be free my friend and fly high as you did in this life as I know you will in the next.

We got Blue about six months after the death of our older cat Ursus. I never intended to ever get attached to another pet as much as I had been attached to Ursus. Was I ever wrong.

Blue was the sweetest most affectionate cat I have ever known. He slept on our pillow every night and was in your lap at every opportunity. He was a blue mackerel tabby Maine Coon and weighed in at about 22 lbs. when he was three and was just a huge presence in our home.

Blue appeared to be in perfect health until he died in his sleep from an apparent heart attack. An autopsy revealed that he had a congenital heart disorder. The vet was surprised that he lived as long as he did. My only consolation is that he died in his sleep and apparently felt no pain or discomfort. The night before his death he was as loving and playful as ever. That was a good way to remember him.

The morning of his death my two year old woke and asked to see "her bluzey". It brought us to tears all over again. We explained that her was with the angels and couldn't come back home. Over a year later she still says she misses him and that she wants him to come home.

So do I.

We miss you Bluzey.

Arnie, Tina and Gabi

My dearest Bo. You are my special baby and I will miss you like no other. I love you so much. It is so like you to pass on your birthday. You arranged for me to forever be deeply sad and then turn around and be joyfully happy on that same day. Like always, you're taking care of me! I don't quite know how to do this without you. I will miss your sweet face and soft ears. I will miss you every day. Please guide me and watch over me. We still have Zach to take care of! Take care my forever friend. I will RUN across that rainbow bridge when it's time to see you again. I will hold you forever. Until then..all my love. - Mom

You are finally safe at home and rest. No more pain and no more sorrow my dear Bo. I will miss you, but I know that you are at Rainbow Bridge playing with One. I will love you always.

Sandy Raper

Bo was the most loved little dog on this earth...and he is the most loved little dog at Rainbow bridge. Mommy and Hopey love you and miss you terribly...I hope you are chasing cats and chewing on coke bottles. Be happy "Big Dog", we love you.

Jennifer Long

Bo you were always there for 10 years, putting up with the various animals we took in. But no one compares to you, and you are sadly missed! Life without you seems bleak, but we'll live on remembering your patience, your love, and your trust, even in the end. Oh, how I wish I had you back!

Melissa Eveland

Bo, we remember when you were born because it was a special day, St. Patrick's Day, which also happened to be our grandfather's birthday. You were the runt of the litter, the sweetest cat a family could ask for, and another thing that made you so special was the fact that Mom was the one who saw you being born. You have given us a lot of memories and we love you and miss you and can't wait to be with you again.

Cheryl, Sherrie & Stephanie

Our Bo was really a wonderful boy! He was with us for 15 years and was as much a child to us as a child could be. He came to live with us at 3 weeks old because his birth Mother could not feed him. His new Mama fed him with a bottle and a spoon and rocked him to sleep in her hands. Some would say that he would never make it but we had him for many, many years! He would sit up and beg, play the growly growly game, and play hide and seek searching for his Mama hiding in a closet or behind something while Daddy encouraged the game. He was nicknamed "Turkey" by his Daddy and Bodey by his Mama. His Grampa always called him Bo-datious. He was a wonderful and special part of our family and ever so loved! We want to pay tribute to him because he gave us back the love he received and we will never forget his little life that was shared with us. We laid him to rest under the roses in our garden. We believe that God has a special place where he puts animals when they die and we know that is where Bo has gone.

Mike and Becky Wilson

Bo,
You have been my best friend for 12 years.
We have spent many hours playing together.
We have shared many happy moments & will always treasure all those wonderful times.
Now I am left with precious memories that will always be kept in my heart & so special to me.
Love you Bo,
Jennifer

My Angel Bo,
I miss you so much! It was such a blessing to have you in my life. You were a wonderful friend and companion. My heart aches for you. Rest peacefully in God's loving arms. Always stay near me. I love you Bo. Until we meet again...

Karen

Bubba you were the sweetest cat, please know we loved you very much and you are greatly missed. Dude is lonely without you.

Chris

We still miss you, Bo - you were such a silly girl and we loved you so!

Ann and Brian Freiberger

In loving memory of our dear sweet Boadicea whom we were blessed to have known and loved.

You are at peace now ....no more pain

Kevin & Donna Frizzell

My best friend Bob died on 06-08-99. He was a special cat to me and was around 2 years old. I had trapped him as a 6 month old feral and tamed him to the point where he would groom me at night as I was sleeping. I loved him dearly and still have his "sister Honey " who was rescued with him. I miss him deeply even though he has been gone more than 2 years now. I wait for the day I will see him again. I love you Bob. Cindy Bailey

Bob was my sweet smile.
He was full of love for me and very happy to be in my life, his favorite things were a good solid scritch under the chin, nothing mellow bout this hunter, cardboard boxes and momma whistling a classic tune. He had an ear for music and when I whistled a tune with the breaks in the wrong spot he would look at me and meow to get it right.
He will be so sadly missed and I am given the blessing of his faithfulness to me. He will be longed for in the mornings when he used to race me down the hallway on my way to get me coffee. He will be very missed by his girlfriend Pam who he would wait for at the door every morning when she would come over for our morning moment of serenity.
Good bye fuzzy-face. Wait for me to rub your butt when I get there.

Bob was the best pet to grow-up with.
He was special to each family member. Extra special to me.
No other cat would let me dress them up in doll clothes and parade them in buggies. He would just lie there with a blissed out look on his face.
I love him.

Joanna

Bob loved his friend Buck so much, and three weeks after Buck went to the Bridge, Bob has joined him. Bob had the softest ears of any doggie I ever met. He was a warm and loving friend to all his family - human, doggie and cat.
Bob will be sorely missed. Even his bunny friend will miss him.

Lynna Hilts For Jon and Suzette Kofod

Sleep well little man, we all love and miss you. Play hard in heaven, until we meet again, Mommy, Daddy, Joseph, Jacob And Loopie, Lacey, Timone, Deek and Circus, Calico, Prissy, Poco, Cricket, Moe.

Bob passed away suddenly he showed no signs of being ill, until he was to sick to be treated, for three days he stayed at the vet hospital, when they thought he was getting better they sent him home only for him to pass away in my arms 4 hours later. I guess he wanted too be with his mom one last time.

Becky

You will be sorely missed but rest assured we shall be reunited

Peter McEvoy

Always missed, loved, and remembered. We love you Bobbie....

Dawn & Jeff

Bo Bo, you mean so much to us, especially to me. We love you so much. we never thought that you would leave us so soon. We are so hurt. Please be happy. Just remember that we will meet some day. Just wait for me. Even though your body is not with us, I know that your spirit remains. Please trust me -- we will meet and hug and kiss each other and we will be together forever. Just wait for me and be happy. We Love You, Bo Bo, we love you, we love you ......... Bo Bo, please forgive us for whatever we have done in your life hurting you, we didn't mean it. We are very sorry that I could not make your life a perfect one, but one thing for sure is that You made our days very joyful and fulfilling while you were here. We owe you too much, Bo Bo. Please come and visit us often. Life is so empty without you. There is nothing in the whole world that can replace you. Bo Bo, we will be remembering and loving you till the end of our days. Love, Master Lily & Sam.

Dear BoBo

I am very very sorry I left you behind 12 years ago in Hong Kong when we emigrated to Canada. It is the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. I owe you so much. May 12, 1989 was the last time I saw you. I did want to take you back but when I saw how upset you new owner was, I let him have you. I wish I never did that. Although I did arrange for you to come over in September when he did not want you any more, the damned kennel let you run away. I dot know what happened to you, but I guess probably are had been gone for a long time. BoBo, if I ever owe anyone, it would be you. Mommy feels very guilty of leaving you behind. If I had the chance, I would never do it again. Please forgive me. I hope whatever form you are in, you have a very happy and free life, free from worry, free from fear, free from hunger, free from all sufferings. I wish you all the best wherever and whatever you are, forever.

I still pray for you everyday.

Mommy Lily May 2001

Baby Bo Bo, you will never know how much we love you and miss you. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but I that hope you are happier up there and free from pain & medicine & free to run where & when you want.

I cant wait until we are all together again and I hope that you continue to look out for us up there as we did for you down here.

We love you & miss you.

Ure two moms.

This is a tribute to a very special friend that I had the privilege of getting to know on my first trip to Arizona.

One who everyone loved, especially John. Whose happy face, friendly eyes and wagging tail none could resist!

In recognition of the unconditional love and companionship you provided Jack and the girls, since you graced them with your presence in 1994.

You will be sadly missed by all how knew you, especially your dad, Remi, Winny and Panda. You were one-of-a-kind and can never be replaced in our hearts. The only comfort that we have now is the memory of you and the hope of seeing you again, when we all go home.

Until then, Bob Ocan, you angel dog, we'll miss you terribly!

Love,

Nancy Cuz

Deeply missed and always in my heart...My special little friend Bobos

Connie Free

You taught me what it was to love and to be loved. You were and are my best friend. I love you to the end of the stars and back. Bodhi, you were taken from me at the early age of 7 from a rare liver condition. In those 7 years I learned more from you than some people learn in a life time. You died in my arms and I am grateful I was there for you and help you cross over. When my time comes I hope you are there to help me, as I know you will be. My heart is forever broken with you being gone. I miss you more than I can explain. You will live on in my heart and in my thoughts. I love you Boo Bear.

Jennifer Andreae

Bodie was truely my best friend.
He was my friend, helpmate, confidant, fitness trainer and co-conspirator in many a adventure.
He helped me raise 3 beautiful children. He was their playmate, nanny and protector.
He helped me live through a broken marriage, helped me care for both my parents through their last years, giving them laughter, love, and companionship. And when it was time to help them cross the bridge from life to eternity, he helped give me the strength I needed to let them go, and then was there to help me through the sorrow, pain and emptiness with his love and gentleness, giving me a reason to get up in the morning and go on.
He helped me to find a new love in my life, giving his approval, (I always trusted his opinion of people), he then shared with him, his trust, love and companionship.
It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do - the day I had to love my friend enough to let him go on ahead of me.
I miss him everyday...but I know when it is my time to cross that bridge, he will be there waiting for me, with that tail wagging, ready to share it all with me...
I will never forget my friend, and will wait, sometimes impatiently for the time we will meet again.

Debbi Brewer

Bogey was my pal, my buddy. he always greeted me when I'd come home from school..would go to the shopping area and wait outside the store for me..a neighbor ran over him cause he wasn't walking across her driveway fast enough. he never wandered off, so I don't know how it happened. he was a sweet dog!

Dayna

For my precious baby that gave me the love I have never been given before. I do miss your wagging little tail, I do miss the plaintive pleading wail, I do miss the wistful loving glance, I do miss the circling welcome dance"

Peggie

We miss you terribly, but you know that!

Marion Penney

Bogie, our 12 yr. old male black lab, was born on Nov. 8, 1988. He came to our home at 6 months old thru an ad in the paper and it didn't take long to realize he'd been beaten and abused. He was scared of the gray collar we placed around his neck and when we put him on a leash to go for a walk, he cowered on the ground and wouldn't move. We realized we couldn't make any sudden movements around him or drop anything near him or he would immediately run and hide under our bed. He made a lot of progress with us during the time he blessed us in our home. He came to trust us and soon realized that we would never raise a hand to him or hurt him in any way. I guess we spoiled him because he was so afraid. He soon came to take over the house, sleeping on the furniture or in our waterbed. As much as I've complained over the years about him being sprawled out on the loveseat and leaving us without a place to sit and watch TV, I miss seeing him there now. I miss the muddy footprints across the kitchen floor and I miss the mud and dog hair I'd find on my bed each night. I find myself sitting on the couch and reaching my hand over to pet him, even though he's not there. I miss coming home and having him lying at the top of the stairs with his front legs crossed, waiting for us to come home to him. I miss the tail that was so long and wirery, the tail that wagged so much we often joked about tying a feather duster on it so he could dust as he wagged thru the house. These past few months have been hard on us as we watched his health start to deteriorate. He had tumors in his mouth, on his back and on his stomach. He couldn't play as much as before and started sleeping more and more. He no longer could jump up into our waterbed so we would pick him up and place him on the bed. We knew the warmth of the bed helped him. A few weeks ago, he started falling down the stairs. We would walk him on a leash down the stairs to the backyard to use the bathroom. Our bedroom is downstairs under the livingroom and I would lay in bed and listen for him. You could hear him moving around, making the couch squeak or walking to the kitchen for a drink or food. He would then want to come downstairs and sleep with us (we bought him a bed for the floor next to my side of the bed). I would listen for him to be ready to come downstairs so I could get up and help him down. The silence above me at night is now the most deafening sound I've ever heard. It was days before I could sleep without tears soaking my pillow. On Friday, April 6, 2001 we drove Bogie to the vet and had him put to sleep. It was the most heart wrenching thing I've ever done. My husband, myself and our 3 daughters all went with him. We've had many dogs come and go thru our home. We're dog people. But, Bogie has always stayed with us. Puppies who just didn't fit into our family we found new homes for. Strays we took in, we found new homes for. But Bogie was different. He was a constant part of our family. He was part of us. We'd just lost a dachshund when he broke his back last April and that was the first dog we'd ever lost to death. This though, was our first experience with having to have a member of our family put to sleep. With 4 of us gathered around Bogie on the floor in the vet's office (my middle daughter waited outside) they gave him the injection as we petted him, cried for him and told him how much we loved him. He turned quickly and buried his face in my lap as he took his last breath. I wanted to die along with him. I have never experienced such heartbreak as I did just 6 days ago. His presence is everywhere in our home. I look for him on the couch and beside my bed. I miss him so very much. We pick up his ashes and urn today. He will be placed on the shelf of my dresser next to Shadow. His gray collar sits there now, the same collar he was so afraid of 12 yrs. ago. We still have Kiara a 2 yr. old weimereimer and Little Bit a 6 yr. old dachshund. They wander around the house and look for him too. Bogie was very special to us. The words I've written do not seem to do him justice. Finding words to describe how much a furry black lab mix who got a nickname of Bogie Butt because he would freely chomp on or nudge your butt when he wanted attention touched our lives is next to impossible. I guess all that's left to say is this........
Bogie....born 11-08-88........died 04-06-01
Gone from this world.....but never from our hearts.

Dawn Francis

To our Pal/Buddy
If Tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven and bring you home again along with your sister, Seashell.

Until we meet again.
Missing you. Love Mommy and Daddy

Little Bojo.... You brought me so much joy in to my life..... I know that we will once meet again at the rainbow bridge and be forever together.... Love your mommy

She wasn't mine any more than a glorious sunrise is. I am ever thankful for the days of Sasha.
The sun has set.

Joy Bishop

We will always love you. You did not suffer long at all and you are now in a better place. Be a good boy!

Penny Johnston

The best gift ever given to me.
Every second a gift.

T Nelson

Sorry about Bo, she had a great and very happy life with all of us and now it was finally her time to move on.
I will never forget about all the times we , me and Mikey, would take her to the beach or the park and Dog parks.
She always protected us and watched over us and loved us all. Smart as a whip. But most importantly she lived a happy doggy life with us.
Here's to Bonita !! the best dog a little boy ever could have had.

Love forever Bo,
Daddy Mike

On Sunday October 28th, 2001 I had to send my beloved dog Bonita to the bridge. She was an Australian Shepherd mix, and a smarter, sweeter, more beautiful friend never existed. She was about 13 1/2 years old, we are not exactly sure as she was a stray, but she was loved and loved us every day of her wonderful life. I miss her so much and I hope to see her again someday.

Loved and deeply missed friend of Dorinda Wheelock

Our sweet little girl has traveled to the Rainbow Bridge and we miss her terribly.
A tiny little Yorkie with a great personality and ego like a Great Dane became a part of our family 8 weeks old and was loved an spoiled from the very first day and until she past on 14 years later. She did not care for the cold winters in our homeland Norway, and could not have been happier when we later moved to Florida where she spent her senior years. Wonderful loyal she instinctively knew if anything was wrong and would comfort anyone who needed extra attention. Jealous if anyone got more kisses than she did, grumpy if she had a bad hair day. She was almost human in so many ways. Daddy's little Princess and Mammy's little Baby, our hearts are broken. It was the hardest thing we ever had to do, but also the most loving thing we could do for you now. We could not let you suffer and there was nothing more anyone could do. So run free little angel, we know you are safe and happy now until we meet again.
Mona & Anton

Beloved friend and constant companion, You will always be in my thoughts and my heart.

Jinny Limb

Beagle-loopa-lopolis. Sweet Bonnie, I held you as you passed on to painless happy fields of squirrels and grass. Moe, Buddy and I miss you very, very much. I'll see you one day, I know it. Until we all meet again...All our love...

Sean and Moe

Oh, my Baby....I am so sorry. You gave me the unconditional love that will live in my heart and soul for eternity. You are a part of me now and forever. I can only pray for the day we are together again and I can hold you once more. I Love you with every inch of my Soul and I will miss you with each breath I take. Oh please let me know I made the right decision for you.

I Love You Bonnie Baby

Fawn and Brian Brown

My Beloved Bonnie,
I can't begin to tell you how much we miss you. I want to tell you how happy you made me the last 13 years I was blessed to have you. Never have I seen such loyalty and love. You were there for me no matter what, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you more than I can describe. You were my special baby.
I know you are happier now that you aren't in pain anymore. That gives me a little comfort, for I long for your companionship again. I will never forget you, and you will always be in my heart forever. Good-bye my precious cockapoo.

Love,
Mommy

Thank you for sharing your life and love with us.

You were with me 13 and ½ years. We went through so many joys and happiness together. You will always be with me. In my heart. You have made me who I am today. You only had a cold once in all those years when you were a little older than a year, caught at the vets office when you had your female surgery. Recovered and went on to become my very best friend, little one. You were always there for me. I am finding it very hard going on without you, your voice, your warmth, and your beautiful blue eyes when you looked at me, your unconditional love for me. When you got sick, I could see your pain and knew the time was near. I could see it in your eyes. You and I tried everything we could. You always had that little "Bless You" for me when I sneezed, even at your weakest moment. I stayed with you as you escaped your pain, as you crossed the bridge. As the song says, the moon will rise, the sun will set, but I won't forget…Until we meet again. We love you.

God looked around his heavens above,
And wanted my sweet Bonnie to Love.
He saw what a beautiful Angel you would make,
My beautiful sweet precious Bonnie God would take.

You are so pure,
I wish we could have found a cure.
I knew when it was time for you to say goodbye
But I was so reluctant to let you fly

That Sunday night you let me know,
The time was getting close for you to let go.
I miss you every day and every night,
I have your pictures always in my sight.
You are always in my heart, part of my soul,
To see you again is my goal.

Mommy, sister Gizmo, and brother Cujo

Bonnie Cat we miss you so much and your heartbeat is missing from our lives. But when we are still we can feel you nuzzling your head against ours and purring your soothing purr.

Be well until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge and continue our journey together once more.

We love you.

Mike & Jacquie Finister

Bonnie has been my friend for almost 20 years. Clyde, her brother, is still alive.
Bonnie was the kindest, most loving pet I have ever had. She used to jump up to me, and love to be cradled in my arms.
I will miss her greatly.

L Salazar

Mommy will always love you.

Elana Rubin-Noble

We miss you still, and talk about you all the time, you are forever in our hearts.

Sandra & Bill McCullough

Charlie was my very special buddy. He heard me laugh and he heard me cry and was always by my side to protect me. Thank you Charlie, for being my friend.

Pamela Hale

Jake was a happy, loving, friendly buddy who developed hemangiosarcoma and had to be put down. He is missed terribly.

Michele

Bonzer was our beloved child, our little Boy. He was more than our comfort, companion, protector. He was the Sunshine of our lives. He passed away ravaged from lung & liver cancer, but in our arms because we had to make the hardest decision of our lives. But we know in our souls it was the Right thing to do to help him. We know he understands. We know he is playing Ring with the angels and waiting for us. Altho he has been gone for a year now, he is still deeply mourned and deeply missed every single day by his Mommy & Daddy, Matilda and Sophie.

Love you forever, baby boy.

Marie

My best-ever and faithful friend crossed over the day after Christmas. I had prayed that she would not leave me until after the holidays- as long as she wasn't suffering. And she did just that. I see her everywhere, and feel a huge heavy void. Boo, thank you for your wonderful company for 15 years. Papa and I love you always!

Cyndy Sprouse

My best-ever and faithful friend crossed over the day after Christmas. I had prayed that she would not leave me until after the holidays- as long as she wasn't suffering. My prayers were answered . I see her everywhere, and feel a huge heavy void. Boo, thank you for your wonderful company for 15 years. Papa and I love you always!

Boo's ashes are now in the urn next to his brother and sister, back home where he belongs. Three in one year - how much more loss can a Mama's heart take? Boo Bear, especially, breaks my heart because the sweet boy he was. Boo Bear gave me the best 15 years of love I could ever ask for, and his loss leaves a big empty place on my couch and in my heart. My floppy moppy Boo Bear, with his ripped ear and goofy walk everyone teased him about, was the gentlest, big ol lug of a critter anyone ever saw. Boo Bear showed me so much with his innocence - I never knew how different the world looked upside down till I got on the floor with Boo and saw it looking up with him, Boo Bear had an innocent wide-eyed curiosity that made him so cute to watch as the world fascinated him. But more than anything, Boo Bear had a love for everyone which reflected a kind of God's love that any human except Jesus could ever come close to. All Boo Bear wanted was attention, hugs, petting, cuddling, and he was in love with whoever it was that provided that to him. Everyone loved Boo Bear, and Boo Bear loved everyone back. Boo had almost died as a kitten, so he had an extra peace with life that most don't understand. But he was Mama's boy and I'm going to be so lost without him. It's going to be so very lonely reading my Bible in the morning without Boo on my lap, no one to share my yogurt with anymore, no more fat, furry, cuddly body vibrating with purrs to put my head next to as I fall asleep at night. How am I ever going to get through missing my Boo Bear until I meet him in heaven? I can only think, as I pray in the morning, that Boo Bear is up there drowning out the angels with his purrs.

Boobies, I am so sorry that I trusted you. Trust got you killed. If I had gone looking for you sooner that morning, you would have been safe in the house instead of killed by a car. I should have known better, but I never thought you would go near the road. I know that you and Heidi are together again, waiting for Mom and Dad at the Rainbow Bridge. We Love you sweet Boobies and always will, you will live in our hearts forever. Sleep Softly Precious Baby Girl.
Love Always,
Mom and Dad

My little Boo-boo angel, I miss you so much. I know you are safe and at peace, but I miss your motor purrs and bunny-soft fur. Hannah and Tink miss you too, I see them look for you still. I know we will see each other again someday. I hope Cindy, Mattie and Khoshie are keeping you company until then. I love you little baby girl.

Shannon McCarthy

Boo Boo was my rescue boy who loved and guarded me fiercely. I watched him take his last breaths today and I hope I gave him a better last 5 1/2 years than he had during his first 8.
I love you Boozy.

Lori

To My Boo-Boo who carried me through my times of sickness and injury and who was my eternal guardian. May you rest at ease knowing we are and will always be safe. You will always be with us FOREVER

Malcolm & Kathleen Mitani

My sweet baby, Boo Boo, you're mom will always miss you. I love you and you were the sweetest.

Lisa

To my best buddie - I miss you so much not a day goes by that I don't think about you. There'll never be another Boo like you.

Sam Quinn

A true friend who, if she could have, would have stayed with me forever. Miss you, Boo Boo.

Joyce Musial

My dearest Boo-Boy, it almost killed me to lose you yesterday. You were so tiny, and were one of the lights of my life this past year. I will miss you, your confidence, your affection, and the way you liked to bathe those you were close to. I've never had another kitty who was like you--you were such an individual. Dommy misses you already, and I know he wishes you'd come home. You were only in our lives for 7 short months, but I will never forget you. I'm glad I got to be your Mamma, even if it was for only a little while.

Ellen Jordan

In his memory, please smile and look everyone in the eye, today, admiring their soul, and know that they admire yours.

August 2001 I'm sending this note to a few friends who I know love Springer Spaniels and other dogs: Booey -- A Rescue Springer On July 2, 1988, a small three-and-a-half year old Rescue Springer Spaniel came into my life and for over the next thirteen years we were nearly inseparable - we would have been inseparable if he could have had his way. We had the best of times together, but those times were not to be forever. As he grew older he was not as active, but he was just as much of a joy to be with. It was in his old age that he discovered that it was more fun to lie on the sofa in the evening rather than lie on the floor - and on the sofa he would be with his head in my lap. But that did not stop the aging process. On August 27, 2001 he awoke too weak to stand on his own - he was over sixteen-and-a-half years old. I was heartbroken as I phoned the vet and then drove down there. Boo was able to stand up at the vet's office, perhaps it was a sense of pride, but then he fell down. He was very weak, he was very frail, and he was very confused. I again picked him up and held him in my arms. Together we knew that a certain time had come. And as he peacefully passed into an everlasting sleep, I held him, and I was close to him, and we were together. Booey now enjoys an eternal sleep and rest on the top of a knoll within sound of a stream, deep in the woods behind my house - woods that he so often ran through. There will be a well trodden path down to his grave. And no, Booey did not have to thank me for having taken care of him. I am the one who will forever be grateful for the care that he gave to me. And someday there may be another Springer Spaniel in my life to walk through those woods and down to that stream. (Booey was the successor to Dudley, a Springer Spaniel who had owned me for fourteen years. And Dudley had been the successor to my little mutt named Pogo whose best neighborhood friend had been an earlier Springer named Dudley.) Maybe it will be another ìolderî Rescue Springer or maybe I will happen upon a young puppy who grabs my heart. But, what will be expected of that Springer and what will I give in return? -- That Springer Spaniel will have to love the out-of-doors, to want to run through fields and woods - mine, the neighbors and the mountains of New Hampshire. That Springer Spaniel will have to be warm and friendly, clever and mischievous, full of energy and possessive of a personality that warms the hearts of everyone he meets. And in return for all of that I will give to him everything that he could ever want: good food and clean water, walks and hikes, tennis balls to toss around, love and attention, the best veterinary care possible (though he may dislike the annual visits to the vet), and a corner of my bed. And so, if, in a few months, you hear of such a dog needing a home, let me know. For there is one little Rescue Springer named Booey who, now, in his eternal rest, knows that I loved him just as he loved me and that it would be best now for another Springer Spaniel to share his life with me rather than for me to live only with the tears of both joy and sadness that have been my lot for the past few days. J Mudge

You were everything we wish we could be . . . patient, forgiving and full of love and gratitude. You were our playmate, our partner, our pleasure, our friend until the very last beat of your heart. We love and miss you so very much but know we will be united again. Thank you for making our house a home with the warmth of your quiet companionship. Merry Christmas Boomie.

Cheryl & Mike

Our Golden Baby Boomer,

The noblest of souls...you were and always will be. Boomy, darling, there is a great void in our home and in our hearts since you have gone to sleep.

Today I came home to an empty living room. I am not certain home will ever be quite right again without you here.

My hope is that you would agree that it was time to leave us. Sweetheart, we could not stand to see you suffer anymore.

You lived for us. You lived for your "Pop" and your precious time playing ball in the yard, season after season, year after year. You lived to be by our sides. And for that, we are debt to you for the remainder of our lives.

Boomer, you were one of my greatest loves. Please know that your place in my heart is unique and eternal. You left us with your immeasurable dignity intact.

I comfort myself by imagining you and Pumpkin together again. Take care of each for me. This idea will keep me going.

Baby Boomer, I believe Dr. Ianson said it best: " ' Laid to rest an old and very good friend. A very kind decision. ' "

We love you forever. You are the noble, sensitive, loving, dignified soul I aspire to be.

You are a genuine angel. Sleep in peace my sweetheart; my dear old friend.

I love you, Kate

To the cat with the loudest purr ever. You are dearly missed. I know you are once again playing and running with Fre-Fre. Sleep well my handsome boy. I know I will see you again one day. - Anita

In beloved memory of Boomer (my handsome hunk-a-dog)

July 1992 - Aug. 2001

I look around at where you laid; my hands ache to run thru your fur. Your gentle eyes – the way they were. The gentleman you proved to be, and all the love you had for me. That last look as you left me there, the words and rhymes that filled the air.

I miss you more than yesterday, and ever more tomorrow. You glanced at me as if to say “be still and feel me beating in your heart and know we’ll never be apart. I’m the shadow on the ground, the sunshine in your hair, I’m whisper in the wind, and I’ll be there til the end, And you know, the special love we shared, will always be there.

Every day, As your memories fill my heart, some things that I’ve forgot, brings a new meaning to the love I feel for you. The way you made me laugh, the wet kisses that you gave, the smile you imprinted in my heart, I know those words were from you, and one day we'll find each other all anew. Until that day comes, your blanket remains at my feet, and pictures in my sight.

You were my little man in fur. You won my heart, put laughter in my soul. And for all those nites you kept me awake, and in great delight, the messes you'd make. You'd look so guilty and yet so cute. I couldn't get mad and now it seems mute. Your bright eyes are gone with the liner so perfect.

For now I will grieve, and when I close my eyes, you’ll be in my dreams and as for my heart…………your already there.

Boomers mom (some words from Lonestar "I'm already there")

To the most wonderful little guy with the most unique personality who gave us so much love with all his being for the past 6 years. We love and miss you Boomer with all our hearts. You were so special to us, you will always be in our hearts and in our minds. We can see you sitting on the hearth in fron of the fire or sitting on the kitchen chair watching everyone. Greeting everyone as they came in with your tag wagging, zooming around the pool as we swam. Just having a ball for yourself. Many times hoping as you ran chasing something. Making sure Johnny stayed in line, you let him know who was boss. Accepting all our friends and welcoming them into our home, and loving them like he did for us. Going to visit our neighbor and scratching at there door to get in. Playing with your toys, throwing them into the air and catching them while we laughed and enjoyed watching you. You were the most unique little dog, the most loved little dog, no one can ever replace you Boomer and like Grandpa use to say "We love you so much it hurts."

John, Angie, Maria, Sam, and John Michael

I miss you everyday in everyway. I pray you are at peace and that in your last minutes you did not suffer. I only wish I could have been there. I love you so much.

Paul Scott

It has been a year since you crossed the Rainbow Bridge. It has not been easy to face each day without your wagging tail and lots of your kisses. I would give anything to be able to come home from work and before I open the door to hear your bark. You would be there at the back door with your tennis ball in your mouth and you would "Moof Moof" at me !!!! I miss you terribly and I have your pictures with me all the time. Not that I would ever forget what you looked like but only because this way I can have you with me at all times. You were my best friend and my companion for 12 years. You taught me patience, integrity and the real meaning of unconditional love. I love you, Boomer! Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge--I'll see you in my dreams........
Your Mommy-
Judy

As our foster dog, we only had 3 short weeks to get to know Boomer. He will forever live in our hearts.

Barb D

To my sweetheart Boomer,
You were the king of all cats. The love that you gave us for 19 years will never be forgotten. You were surely a blessing in our lives. I know I did the right thing to send you to heaven my baby. You were so tired. Please look down on us and remember all of our beautiful memories.. You will live in our hearts forever...We will forever hear your meowing in the morning for your breakfast. You were truly an angel. Breezie and Codey will miss you dearly. Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge my little king, know that your memory will live with us all forever and a day. Love, Mommy, Gary and Shane

I knew that eventually I'd have to let go of you, but it is always too soon. I'm glad that I was there when you decided to leave. After taking care of you for over 10 years, I feel like you were my cat, even though I didn't originally pick you out. I know that my big sis Rachel is up there in heaven taking care of her cat now. I suppose it all worked out nicely.
I'll miss you, and can't wait to see you again. I miss your sassy attitude and your paws on the floor, but especially miss you sleeping at my feet at night, never disturbing me. I love you. Take care. I hope you like the purple flowers.
Love Always,
Laura

I hope Boots is in a better place and out of pain.

Loretta Weist

Boots was so faithful. Never was there a better friend.

Emily, Matt & Daniel Phipps

I love you bootsie and I miss you and you were my best friend! we grew up together

Cheyenne

For the best friend ever!!

Mary and Crystal Albrecht

I love you BooBoo Kitty, and I always will miss hearing you push my bedroom door open at 3:00 in the morning, or climbing in or out of your box in my closet. Be good and I'll see you someday again.

Kimmy

I found out this week that a special friend died last month, a childhood friend, a friend who came into my life when I was five years old. A black and white cat by the name of Boppydoo.

He was my brother's cat in the beginning. My brother, who was only three at the time, couldn't decide on a name. Dad suggested "Rainier" for our nearby Mt. Rainier. Keith liked that but liked other names too. He came up with "Blackish" and "Whitish" for the little kitten's coat colors -- I suppose this was a little kids version of "Blackey" or "Whitey". And the "Boppydoo" part of the name? No one knows where Keith came up with this. In the end, he decided to put them all together into "Rainier Boppydoo Blackish Whitish" - but we have always called him simply Boppydoo.

Boppydoo was with us for so many years. He became more of a family cat than just my brother's. He was there through my school years, right up to the beginning of my fourth year in college. I moved away from home after my second college year, transferring from the nearby community college to a large university across the state. Boppydoo was beginning to show his age that summer - I did not think I'd see him again once I left. But I was wrong. He was still there, still happy and lively when I came home for Christmas that year. And again when I came home for summer vacation he was there. That was this summer. We shared three wonderful months together. I learned that every moment we had was precious. I knew it would not last. When I left again this time, I knew it would be the last time I would see him. On that last Saturday morning, August 25, 2001, I petted my old friend one last time. I kissed him and told him I loved him. He was happy that day, enjoying the summer sunshine. I have a picture of him sleeping under the picnic table on the deck in the sun that day. Those were my last sights of Boppydoo. I thought about him frequently after I returned to school. Then, on Sunday October 14th, I talked to my mom on the phone. She told me that Boppydoo was gone, about three weeks earlier. She said his time had come. He went peacefully, purring until the end.

Boppydoo is the last of my childhood pets to move on to Rainbow Bridge. I don't remember life without this cat. My life will go on, but it has been forever changed. I will always have a special place in my heart for Boppydoo, my friend for so many years.

Shannon Reuter

In remembrance of a very special girl. And a very special friend. You are missed.

Peter Schabinger

I need to tell everything out there in the universe, that Boschie was the goodest bear that ever was. He's missed every single second of every single day and will be from now on. This house is too quiet without him, and the cats have all changed places in honor of him being gone. I had a vision of him. Up and running over sunny hills, like he hasn't done for a long, long time. He was smilo and otis once more, and that's all I've ever wanted for him. No more pain. There will never be another soul like him in my life, pup or not. You are more than loved Losholificus....see you soon Lore.

"Bose" was one of the best dogs in the whole world! She was a mutt and we loved her dearly. She died just a few months short of her 7th birthday, which was way too young for any pet to die. We have 3 other dogs, but there still is that special place that no other dog can fill. We'll see you in heaven girl!

Ruth

This wonderful pet gave our family 10 years of devotion and love. In return we gave him all the love the bond we had could give. He will remain in our hearts for all time. He was our baby and we will miss him dearly.

Tom Cloer

Boss was a BIG cute cat. he was my aunts cat but I was still close to him. When I was five I used to get up in the middle of the night and go in the freezer and give him steaks. He was always nice to me no matter how much I mulled him. My aunt loves, cats she loves them so much she saved a kitten who's mother died and it was close to dying it's self but she saved him. so without her I don't know if I would understand how much you could love a cat. Boss was the first cat I was close to and I miss him so much . there will always be a place in mine and my aunts heart for boss. we love you boss

love Danita & Lavrene Small

Boston,

You were an Angel in my life. The moment I saw you I knew we would make the perfect pair. You and I did everything together and I miss you dearly. You will never be forgotten.

Moma loves you, baby!

Boston, We will miss your enthusiastic greetings at the front door, your wagging tail, hanging tongue, wet paws in winter, kisses, licks behind the ears, chewed slippers, quiet cuddle times, your longggggggg stretches, hugs, bed time, fetch, eating ice cubes together, kissing your precious nose, rubbing your soft tummy, playing with your teeth, wrestling, long walks, playing ball, "gimme five--gimme ten," unconditional love, licking our tears away, meal time, positive energy, watching you smell flowers or chase squirrels, playing with pine cones, security, joy, happiness, your overall personality and spirit...

Jordan & Rose-Marie

Dear Bou, You are very dear to us now and forever. You made us laugh again after PC. We will miss you both forever. I can not believe we lost you so soon. We did not want to let you go, but we knew it was best for you. I love you Bou. Mom, Dad, Tela, and your sister Lela

Bouncer was a special dog. He only wish in life was to please. He gave hugs and kisses all day long. He loved to take walks with is brother and best friend Buddy (beagle). Buddy and all of us miss him very, very much. He was named Bouncer because of how he loved to play. He bounced around. He lived a long happy life. Unfortunately it came to us making the decision for him to cross the Rainbow bridge. He was so sick and there was nothing the vet. or any of us could do. I wish he was here. We will one day get a puppy for Buddy, since Buddy is getting up in age now. But no dog in this world could compare to Bouncer.
Well we miss you Bouncer, We will see you at Rainbow Bridge. Love you so much, Lisa, Al and Buddy

My Boundo,

You Boundo of the silky hair and bushy tail. Survivor of Hurricane Floyd. I'll miss your gentle and adventurous spirit. I know you loved Hector and me and I think you would like to have bonded with Katrina. Only two years old, you deserved to have many more days of bounding around in the back yard and being held by me and nuzzling Hector. I love you always.

Bowie--"-best dog in da world!!!"--Bowie, your dharma was sweetness---and I know I was truely loved---what a gift you gave--priceless--Love--Me and Greasy and Baba Ji

Bowie

It was time for you to leave us,
God was calling you home,
To a place with endless freedom,
Where tirelessly you'll roam.

Quietly you suffered,
Never letting us know,
All the pain you were feeling,
Until it was time for you to go.

With dignity and grace,
You fought until the end,
You placed your trust in us,
And we said "goodbye" to our friend.

Goodbye is not forever,
It's just a little time apart,
For if we ever need you,
We'll find you in our heart.

And so our darling Bowie,
We will see you once again,
For when our time has come,
You'll be waiting at the end.

Written with great love for our beloved Newf "Bowie".

16th Jun 2001

Bowie is a very old Rotterweiler. She is Joel's sister's dog by default, having been palmed off onto Tasha by Tasha's father many years ago, although all of Joel's family (including me) love her lots.

She is the biggest dog I've ever met, and also one of the most gentle, providing she knows you of course. Although she has never knocked anyone else down with her 150kg frame, she likes bowling Joel over. Joel's pretty much the only one who can play with her like that, but she will accept whatever form of love and play that we are willing to give her, even from little kitties other dogs of her breed would consider snacks. She knew who was who and what was what, and exactly how far she can go with the smallest of kittens to the strongest of men without hurting any of them.

She is an old dog, very old in terms of Rottweilers, about 13 in human years. Her back hips wore out last year and you could tell that she was in a lot of pain even then. But now its winter here, and the arthritis has got into her front legs too. She has trouble getting up or sitting down, and she's long stopped squatting to relieve herself.

Despite her pain, though, you can still see the love an devotion she has to her family, and even though both Joel and his younger brother haven't shared a house with Bowie for several years, she still greets both of them with delight and energy that belies her stiff and painful joints. She still tries to barrel-roll Joel and will still try to chase the ball you throw for her, but its out of loyalty and love that she does this, because you can see that every step she takes hurts her. She suffers mostly in silence, still eager to please her beloved family, but in the dead of night, while she thinks no-one can hear, she makes the noises of an animal in pain.

Tasha has asked Joel & I to do what has to be done. This Saturday is the day when Bowie will be relieved of the pain that she has been bearing with dignity and loyalty for the last few years, when her spirit will go the Bridge where her once softest of soft coats will be restored to shiney cleanness, the perpetually fly-blown sores on her ears will be healed, and she will once again be able to frolick with the energy and strength she once had.

Dear God, I don't want to do this. For, although she is not my dog, I too have loved her, played with her, and been blessed with her silly doggy smile that stretched from ear to ear. But I know I must. I know I must be strong where others are weak, to put aside my own feelings of grief and despair so that a loved one can depart in love and peace. I think Saturday will be one of the hardest days I'll have to face, and won't be made any easier by the thought that I'll have to face similar days at least twice more with Shmogg & Fluff. But, for the sake of Bowie, my Noodle Nut, Joel and I will do what has to be done, and be there while she makes the Journey.

23rd Jun 2001

It was a bright, warm, winter day.

We played with Bowie for a bit, and then gave her a T-Bone, which she gobbled down. And then fed her as much dog food as she wanted (she's been on a strict diet for 6 months so that she has less weight to carry on her hurting hips). She tried to jump up in enthusiasm, but couldn't. To eat, she bent down much like a giraffe. It wasn't good to look at. While eating, I noticed that her left eye was completely white, they right eye was misty.

Then we took her down the beach, her favourite spot. Its only a two minute walk, but she got very tired. She made it to the sand, but couldn't get back up the slope. Joel carried her.

On the way back home, she tripped up a few times, and had to lie down a lot. It was heartbreaking to watch, but confirmed that what we were doing was right.

We drove her to the vets. She was good in the car, just sticking her face out the window and letting her tongue flap in the breeze. There's still her drool on the car window.

I was fine until I had to tell the receptionist what we wanted to do. I cracked up and the receptionist had to guess what I was trying to say. Bowie was being so good there. The receptionist was very understanding, very supportive.

The vet came out and escorted us to the room. He wanted Bowie up on the table, but she couldn't get up there. Again, Joel lifted her up, and again it reassured us that what we were doing was a mercy.

Joel pushed me out of the room, and told me to wait in the car. I kissed the top of her head, said goodbye and managed to get all the way to the car before I let it all out.

He came out less than 5 minutes later, with her collar and lead.

And we drove home in silence.

Bowie is now free from pain, frolicking merrily at Rainbow bridge, chasing seagulls and bicycles (her favourite hobby). She can jump up, run, squat, and sit down with ease. Her ears are no longer are a haven for flies, her eyes are clear, and her coat is once again full and soft. And she's protecting those that are already there.

Goodbye, Bo-Bo.

Tasha, Dan, Joel & Vicky

To my most beloved little lion, Bowie.

I am privileged that you graced my life , your sisters and everyone who shared our life over 12 years together.

We are totally connected and together now as we have been since we first met. You are in my heart and soul forever.

We all miss your presence in our lifes - your love, care and fun.

I thank you for your love and care and all you taught me about unconditional love in our time together. You enabled me to be totally at peace with me and to love in my way when I struggled through much in life. You were and will be always my support.

I wish I could have been with you at your final pain but know that you got the care and attention by your carers that you needed.

My love to you as always

Yours mummy and Holly and Keith

Bowser thank you for being such a wonderful friend. We miss you a lot. We know you have gone on to a better place. We look forward to seeing you again.
love,
Crystal, Mom, Dad, Billy, and Buttons

Bowser, My loyal, loving, protective man. You gave so much, asked for so little. I know you would have given your life for any of us if it had been needed. You touched a part of me that has never been touched. As your heart condition worsened, you never complained, you just wanted us near you. I know I did everything humanly and medically possible to keep you comfortable in your remaining days, but the time had come to let you go. I couldn't watch you suffer anymore. I know you are free from pain and can breath easily now, your arthritis won't keep you from running anymore and doing the things you love to do. This house is so quiet with out you Bowser, we miss you so much. Kota misses you also. So my buddy, till we meet at the Bridge, know how much we love you and how much you are missed. I never knew Keith to take a pet going so hard, or have him hold another pet like he did you as you peacefully went to sleep. You'll be with us always Bowser, rest in peace my friend. Love, Keith, Pam, & Kota

Boy was my baby and I will always miss him there isn't a day I don't think of him I hope other people will understand that losing your pet is the same as losing a child or any loved one most people do not understand that a pet is equal to any human. I hope there are others that feel the same.

Julie Lower

Knowing the joy of having these beloved pets, we must always be thankful for their loving ways and the time we have with them. This is their special gift and the joy that they have given us is to be remembered and cherished.

Kathi Lee Box

Gentleman Dog Boz...do you remember winning Baby Puppy of Show at your first major outing in Sydney? I remember how proud you made your friend Bob, my husband, on that day.
You were such a jaunty showman with a 'look at me, I am special' air about you...and it worked! You and Bob became quite a team... your cheeky presence was such fun. Bob and I both loved you but you loved Bob more...choosing HIS foot to rest your head on while we watched TV. I remember your watching and waiting after Bob died...how I ached to be able to tell you what had happened.... I watched over you until you too left me..I pray that the two of you are together again now. Thank you for the happiness you gave us, our little Gentleman Dog. I miss you still.

Di Wall

Brady, There will never be another bunny like you. You were one of a kind and you will be so dearly missed. Will miss your little licky lips. Thanks for being such a wonderful companion for eight wonderful years, we will always love you.

May the shamrocks fall ever so softly!

Pat Widener

Dear Bamma-Su, I promised you that I would look after Bonna for you and try to reach our Dream. Promises are not meant to be broken.

Love Kel and Bon.

This is a tribute to my darling Hossie. He went out one morning and never returned. We eventually found his body. He had been killed by coyotes. He was such a devoted baby and was always at our side. He always minded and was a terrific father to 7 babies over the three years of his life. We are hurting so much and our other yorkie, Miss Tee is having such a difficult time.

GOODBYE MY HOSSIE HIGH FIVE MY DARLING

Bram & May

Brandee filled our lives with love and happiness. She lifted our spirits with her presence, and will live forever in our hearts and minds. Our memories of her playful antics, car rides, walks, and unique personality are cherished by us. The day will come when we too will cross the bridge as Brandee did, and we will all once again join in life.

Allen & Dolores Evangelista

Branden was my best friend my companion and he was my first obedience dog. He was silly in his own way and I'll miss him very much. He touched everyone's heart and gave alot love in return. I will always love him and miss him very much.

Lynn Finley

I will always love you, Brandi. You are my heart and soul. God called you home on Christmas morning, and though I miss you more than words can say, I'm so happy that you are free of pain. Someday we will be together again. Love, Mommy

Brandi, how can we begin to describe what joy your brought to our lives. You were mommy's baby and daddy's girl. Mommy misses her baby so much...it hurts so bad. You brought us so much happiness. I can't help but be angry that we only had you for 4 short years but in those years you made us so happy and the love we have for you will never fade. You fought Cancer for 6 months and still showed your incredible strength the last day of your life by giving me kisses and wagging your tail as if to say it will be ok mommy. I love you my baby and miss you terribly. I will see you again.

The Millers

Through the years when much of my life around me was falling apart I could always count on Brandi the one constant in my life. Always there and loyal to me. I couldn't have asked for a better companion. I will miss her.

Joan Beadles

To my Bran, know that I love you still and miss you. Am looking forward to the Rainbow Bridge. Love, Mom

Brandi was the sweetest, most loving dog in the world. I will love her and miss her forever.

Mary Lou Suehn

Wonderful friend who was with me through many changes in mine and her life. Brandi will be missed but never forgotten.

David Kurtz

She was my best friend. She always was there for me no matter how bad she felt and always tried to please no matter what I asked.

Brandi was a very special friend. She would do anything she could to please and never ran off or did anything except wag her tail and want to be touched in a loving way. She loved to go with me to the beach and would chase Frisbees all day. When she got arthritis and it hurt her to get up, she would never whine or complain. It was the most difficult thing I had to do to wait for the Vet to come and give her an injection to allow her to go to the rainbow bridge. I did not know about this special place until the vet sent it to me and a card.
I still miss Brandi with all my heart and when I read some of the stories from others cannot help but get teary.

She was a WONDERFUL little girl. I loved her dearly. She left very DEEP paw prints on my heart. She has only been gone a few hours - and I miss her VERY MUCH.

Amy Emery

We miss you girlie. You are such a sweetheart. We hope you, your daddy, Coco, and Teddy are having fun together in heaven. We love our little girl with all of our hearts. You will never be forgotten.

Tone Family

A loving member of our Family, gone but not forgotten.

Michael Goad

The grunty hedgehogs wonder where their playmate has gone. He never hurt them, he just transported them from one place to another and made sure they were all hidden away from harm where sometimes only he could find them. The 'wally bear', playmate of a gentle black Lab years ago, but whom Brandle befriended back in February 1992, is also alone now.
On Thursday June 21st I lay beside my best friend, holding him and stroking his beautiful still young body, he took his final breath. Rest in peace my wonderful companion.

Rusty Stubblefield

My Sweet Brandon!

To my loving little boy and best friend, who was so sweet and cuddly, you will always be in my heart, prayers and soul. I will always love you and cherish all the good times and memories you have given me. You brought such happiness to my life and you will forever be in my heart and will always be remembered. I still cry for you, you were so incredibly loved. The hardest decision of my life was to say its time, but in my soul it was the right thing to do. I must let the guilt go, but by heartaches for you. You will never be forgotten and someday, we will meet again as we walk the rainbow bridge.

Susan Swiecki

Brandon was the sweetest dog I have ever known. But I now he is in a better place with his friend Sandy. He was 15 years old and beloved best friend.

For Brandon Micheal,
Mommy hopes that you and Maurice meet and become friends.
I'll love you always.

To my Beauty, Brandy : Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you terribly. Although I can not hold you anymore, I still feel you with me. You will live on in my heart and my memory for all time. Goodbye babygirl, until we meet again. Love you forever, your mommy Wendy.

Brandy was an epilepsy success story. Brandy went from having clusters every few days to 359 days seizure free. We conquered the epilepsy, it was lymphoma that took my 5 year old boy from me . But I do not want him remembered for his epilepsy, nor his lymphoma. We need to remember him for the things he loved... Jelly Sticks, sitting on Mom's lap, swimming, riding in a car, his big sister Sasha, playing with Jessica, ice cream, running in the water, boat rides, taking Dad's spot in bed, a good bone, walks in the woods, walks anywhere ! Brandy was good natured and loyal, sweet and loving. He was a spoiled little boy, who never let his problems interfere with his life. He took his medications willingly. He trusted me implicitly.

What then, can you do for one who loves and trusts so freely and willingly, but let them go when the time has come, no matter how much it hurts the human who is left behind ?.

Find Sasha & Pal and play until we meet again.

Love, Beth

With all my love - you will always be missed.

Sherry

My dearest Brandy. It hasn't even been a full day since we lost you and I am going crazy. This house is toooooooooo quiet. Be good and I will see up there on that rainbow bridge and NEVER be apart again.

Tracy Splawn

Brandy,
I pray that I made the last year of your life one of your best! Mommy loves you and always will. You were my joy and taught me so much about the love and beauty of nature. In my minds eye I see you running in beautiful green pastures as a young foal at your mamma's side and know that someday I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge. You will always live in my heart, and thank God for the short time I had with you. May you now have the peace and pain free life that you so deserved. You are loved!

Anne Denner

To our beloved dog, Brandy, we miss and loved you very much. Our lives are so lonely now and the home is so lonely now. We miss your presence so much, and I especially miss you when I cook, when I am using the computer and taking a bath. You were always with me and I am so lonely. We will always love and miss you. We hope you have found Schatzy and Rusty, that all three of you are romping and playing. You are our furry angels in heaven.

Lora & Jerry Whitney

Brandy you will forever be in our hearts. We love you and miss you very much. You were the best doggie anyone could ever ask for. Rest in peace, my sweet little boy. Until we meet again...Love always, Diane, Pammy, and Mommy

My dearest brandy, you gave us life and you gave us love. You where our friend. I know you are not suffering anymore. Good bye my baby. Love mommy

Brandy,

Even though you've been gone for a very long time, you are still in my heart. You saw me through the tough teenage years and into adulthood and motherhood. You were so tough, yet so lovable. You were absolutely fearless, yet so protective. I wish I could've been with you in your last moments. I will always love you, baby doll. Cathy

I miss you, my little girl, and know that you will be waiting for me. I know that you are with God and Dylan now and hope that you will all watch over us forever. You will never be forgotten. There will always be a special place in our hearts for our little "pooky". Remember how much we love you, forever.

The O'Donnell Family

Our queen kitty. She ruled the house with an iron paw and befriended any dog she met. She was such a valued family member for 16 years. She will be missed. Bye, Kitty.

Our faithful constant companion. She loved us unconditionally, trusted us implicitly, and protected us faithfully.

Whit and Wilma Whitaker

To Brandy I want to say Miss you bright eyes

Steven & Pam Slipski

To the best friend we could have ever asked for.
We'll never forget your pretty little eyes.
You are one in a million!!!
Life just isn't going to be the same.
We hope to see you in our dreams.
Play nice with all the other animals. Get lots of sun and
remember that there will always be "cookies" at the end
of the rainbow.
We love and miss you terribly.

Mama and Papa

Our hearts are broken as we say goodbye to our Brandy of 9 years in our lives. She is "Gone now, but will never be forgotten". We love you Bandy!!

The Stuart Family

We miss you still, and talk about you all the time, you are forever in our hearts.

Sandra & Bill McCullough

We love our little girl and she will be sadly missed. She was way too young to be taken from us. She was truly a sweetheart and loveable baby. We love you Brandy.
Daddy and Mommy, and Trubby

We love you, Brandy, and were blessed to have you for six wonderful years! We will smile each time we remember your little ways. Love, Mom

You taught me to love someone who made me feel foolish! Love, Buster :-)

Ann & Brian Freiberger

I will never forget the way those little brown eyes looked up at me. I will never forget the way you would wake your Daddy up in the mornings because you were ready to eat. I will never forget the way you did a tail-dance every time you wanted to eat or go outside. Thank you for being my Princess for 11 wonderful years. You will always be my Princess in my heart.

Lydia, Tom and Niki

I LOVE YOU LACY AND I WILL SEE AT THE BRIDGE

Jennifer Bessire

Brave my darling, sweet little boston, you were my pride and joy and my best friend in this whole world. I miss you so much. You have left your little foot prints on my heart forever and ever. Brave little man you always stood by me and always made my day.
I know you are at the Rainbow bridge, where you are happy and at peace, Be FREE my little man BRAVE.
Brave you will always be in my heart forever and ever. The best.
Love you heaps.
Bye my little man BRAVE,
Zdenka, Ken, Steven, Rose.

I trapped you last night. Don't know where you came from. I had high hopes of getting you neutered and released, but the deal I made with the Humane Society was to have all feline leukemia positive/aids cats put to sleep. This way my colony would be protected. You didn't look sick to me, but I could tell that you have had it pretty hard, your scars on your head told the tale. I just want you to know that even though you didn't know me I loved you nonetheless. I want you to know that I'm sorry, for you having it so rough. I'm really sorry for the last few hours that you spent on this earth, scared and alone in a trap, getting moved into a funny thing that shook you all around and then being in a place where there are loud noises and strange smells. You didn't know what was going on and what was going to happen to you. I wish I could have held you and told you that everything is going to be alright in your last final moments. I wish I would have made you feel my love for you. Even though there may have not been anyone else that cared, I want you to know that I cared my strange, gray Tom. I hope you forgive me for trapping you. I hope to see you again one day.

Jasmin

Breeze (his real name was Mandolin Wind) would have been 13 years this January. He was a grey and white Siberian Husky who was very silly. When you'd come up to him, he'd lift up his front paws one after another like he was dancing. And he had this cute little noise he'd make when he knew you were going to play with him.

A wonderful baby who is "talking" all inhabitants of Rainbow Bridges ears off.

Christy

You won our hearts from the moment we saw you. Daddy said you would not be allowed on the beds but he had you sleeping with him on the second night (the first night his arm was in your box beside the bed all night). We were definitely blessed with an angel. You gave us 15 years of unconditional love. We will miss your constant wagging tail and your 9pm on the dot treats that you wouldn't let us miss. Thank you so much for all you have done for us. Even though you never expressed it, we knew you were in constant pain and we couldn't let you suffer any longer. Daddy needed you. He needed his little girl again. For all the wonderful years that you have given us the least we could do was make you young and pain free again at the rainbow bridge. We love you and we'll see you again.

A precious rescue boy who brought joy to our home for 14 wonderful years.

Mary Jane

My darling nugget-man: I can't believe you are gone. Your Dad and I are devastated. You were taken so suddenly, no chance for a last goodbye scritch and kiss. Our hearts are broken. There were so many things about you that were special and memorable. We have been making lists, so that our memories will never become hazy over the years. We never want to forget all the silly things you did, sweet things, naughty things, too. They made you YOU - and we will continue to love you forever. You were our sweet, joyful, wiggly, bouncy, rooing boy. The house is too quiet without you. We loved you well, Dear Breton. Rest in peace my sweetheart. Love forever, Mom and Dad

My beloved best friend. You where always there for me and are truly missed. Your loving smile will never be forgotten. Rest peacefully my baby boy. You where a true blessing. I love you Brewster Boy.

Michael

A special cat who had been through so much in the six years we had him, and nursed for his last weeks in blindness, illness and old age............

Brick

You are the fresh air in the Spring Meadow.

You are the cool breeze in the Summer Sea.

You are the shining star in the Autumn Sky.

You are the warm fire in the Winter Night.

You are the love of My Life.

Greg

I miss you so much, Bridget.

Chris Laverty

Bridget, our 'Bridgie Baby', was the most special and wonderful dog either of us have ever known. She came into our lives through a rescue society; she came to them after a life where she had known only misery, abuse and suffering as a puppy mill mother - and then she was abandoned. We only knew her for about 5 years, but we will never forget her big brown eyes, her adorable face, and all the love she gave to us. We lost her almost a month ago, and the pain is still fresh...Bridgie, we love you.

Jon and Susan Schurger

Bridgette was always there for me when my family was not. She was my best friend. Not a day goes by that I do not think of her and I still miss her very much.

Judie Key

My Brigette

Your time was brief with me-Only a year-But know you were loved, treasured and truly are remembered

Mama

To my brightest set of eyes

Though the sun has set and you have passed on your eyes have been assigned to set your brightness upon God and his angels. I would just like to say let your brightness shine that others may see, we will always love you and miss you. Our days have dimmed because the sparkle in your eyes is not here to lite up our nights. Until we meet again across the bridge Jesus calls the Jordan River.

Rest in peace

Starlight starbrite which star are you tonight, I will look for your bright eyes in the sky

To my loving first babies. The memory of your smiling , slobbery, funny faces, keeps your memory alive in my heart!!! Forever.

Joelle

My little girl, how the house seems so empty without you. I remember all the times we spent together and how much you loved to play ball. You gave such unconditional love for the 14 years we were together - now there is such a dark hole in my heart. The dancing on your hind legs, the begging to be held and being the "bad, mean" dog, when there wasn't a mean bone in your body. How well I remember these times - before things became hard for you. May God keep you safe until the day we meet

I lost my sweet baby boy Brioche. He was an 18 year old Himalayan but he acted like a young cat with no age limitations. He was sweet and kind and gentle to all creatures, an old soul in a cat's body. Someone ran over him and left him to die. The emergency vet could not save him and we had to let him go so he would not suffer anymore here on earth. He is now at peace and in a better place but I miss him so. I am sure he has made lots of new friends on the other side and someday we will be together again. May God have mercy on his sweet soul. Bye bye BB. XOXOXO

Mo and Family

Britta was a very special "Special Needs" dog. She was born without the advantage of hearing but was so giving, loving and obedient in her years with us. In the end, she developed diabetes and had no choice but to endure two painful shots each day, which she took without hesitation and complaint. She lost her sight and was in much discomfort and pain when her very loving and devoted master, Tom, made the very unselfish but heart wrenching decision to end her misery. She left behind a very heart broken buddy, Polly, a 13-year old toy poodle. Polly was Britta's ears for years and now she is lost without her constant companion. But we know that someday we will all be reunited with Britta in a land where she hears the things she never got to hear during her silent years here on earth.

We love you, Britoski, and we miss you very much.

Tom, Debbie, Stu and Polly
