Year
2001 Tributes
Icarus "Icky" was a wonderful black cat. He always gave unconditional love and didn't have a mean bone in his body. He had a very loud howl when he wanted attention, we called a "howler monkey" when he did this. He was taken by fatty liver disease and hepatitis, bless his heart. He was purring up until the second he died, he had so much love in him.
He had a ragged ear and one of his fangs had the tip missing (snaggle-tooth), he looked a little like the Simpsons cat. He is sadly missed by his owners and friends, Harry and Tatia. We hope to see him and listen to him purr and howl again someday...

Ice Princess Misty- Princess for short,
you were loved so very much and our hearts were broken when we lost you.
You gave your love and kisses so eagerly asking nothing in return. You
were the light of our lives and I promise we will be together again, somewhere
over that Rainbow Bridge, never to be separated again. Love & Kisses
always Sweetheart. Mommy & Daddy. (Gail & Bill Sangiliano)
To my good old buddy Ichy you are truly missed but now you rest in peace and are no longer suffering. Thank you for your unconditional love, for sharing my laughs, my tears for your big hugs and putting your head over my shoulder. You were really spoiled!!

Idgie was the best dog in the whole world. She was a gentle, loving soul and we miss her terribly.

This goes out to my best friend and my boy, Iggy. Even though I had him for a short while, he brought happiness and companionship in my life during that period. I hoped that I gave him the happiest time of his life, and may he be forever happy where he is, for I shall see him again.

To Herman:
The Pig who entered my life when I was at a low point after the passing of Bridget, (the piggie that went to the bridge before him), who had such a special face one that was captured on film numerous times. A well trained friend who met an untimely demise. By the Jaws of a dog you were taken from me and this life. But you have gone to a better place where all the grass, fruits and veggies are in abundance for you. Although you did not die in vain it's hard to squelch the pain. You didn't deserve to die the way you did, but because of your passing, three piggies have been adopted in tribute to your friendship, your companionship, your life. Your memories will remain in my heart until the day I again will meet you and we cross over the rainbow bridge together and spend eternity together.

Igor was my special little friend. I got him from a pet store that was finally put out of business for animal cruelty. Igor was in bad shape when I got him, suffering from severe malnutrition and a bacterial infection.
With antibiotics, heating pads, supplements and visits to the vet, Igor finally became healthy. He was still shy, and spent all of his time sitting alone in the cage.
With the addition of some friends, two parakeets named Katya and Sammie, and a Cockatiel named Sunnie, Igor ventured beyond the cage.
About a year ago, Igor became sick again and was diagnosed as having liver failure, as well as tumors on his chest. I gave him medicine from a dropper twice a day to help clear his liver. Igor became friendly as ever, even more so than the other hand-raised birds. He would sit on my hand, chirping and squeaking, bobbing his head in front of my nose. He would fall asleep on my hand when I watched TV. He would keep me entertained when I was sad or depressed.
Igor was healthy as ever last night, sitting up straight and chirping loud, playing with the other birds. This afternoon, I found him in the cage, passed on. No long, painful battles, just gone.
He is loved and will be missed very much.
A part of us died this day. The bond we share will never be broken, the void you leave will never be filled. You are special to all who knew you. Although the tears and the pain prevent happy thoughts, I know the time will come when we will recall all we shared with deep pride and love. You are truly one of a kind. Personality galore, you charmed everyone who's path you crossed. Our lives were enriched in sharing with you. I/WE were blessed to have shared so much of our lives with you. We love and miss you!!!! May you rest in peace and your memory live in our hearts forever.

Ima, So sweet and so young. Your beauty was without words. Your little voice was just coming out when, I turned around and you were gone. Those eyes of your could melt any heart. I love you little angel. Follow Katie, Whitey, and Shadow. They will help you. I love you. Love your Mom
Our beloved Imotep was hit by a car and died while we
were both at work. I will have guilt for the rest of my life over this,
and I am very sorry that I wasn't there to comfort you. I wish I could
have helped you cross the Rainbow Bridge.
We miss you very much and not a day goes by that we don't think or talk
about you. Here are a few of our favorite topics:
1. You loved bringing the biggest "presents" home.
2. You always greeted us by laying on your back and blocking our way so
we couldn't move until you got attention.
3. You would sit on our heads in the morning to wake us up.
4. Canned cat food--need we say more?
5. You hated the cat (Pete) next door.
6. The great bunny chase--to get it out of your mouth.
These are a few of the many wonderful memories that we have of you, Imotep. We are so glad that you came into our lives, for you truly brightened each and every day. We will grieve for you until that special day when we see you again.
Love Always,
Brian, Kim, and Dakota
Kimberly Pruitt
She was the light of my life and was taken from me too
soon by cancer.
Though her life was short it was happy and fun and she knew how much she
was loved
every day of it. Not a day went by that she didn't make me smile.
She may be gone in body, but her spirit lives forever in my heart.
Sweet dreams Baby Girl until we meet again.
Love Mommy
India came to me 3 years ago. I was a little baffled as to why I took her in and I had no expectations of her. She turned out to be a gift and blessing, a surprise. I loved her completely. She brought me tremendous joy and comfort. I miss her terribly. She became sick suddenly and declined rapidly. My heart is broken. May her sweet soul find joy, peace and love and never stray far from mine.
Sara Juno
Indiana was my best friend and my own live teddy bear. He is missed by all he leaves behind. I love you Indiana.
Janet Trautner
I will forever treasure the precious time we had together.
I'll always remember your smile. You were such a happy dog - so full of
life and love, and you shared that happiness with everyone you were with.
Your brother Bear is very sad that you had to go so soon. He misses you
so much. I cannot replace you, but I am trying to help him cope. We are
praying that Brandon and Shilo are with you, and that you are waiting for
us. Tell them I love them and miss them too.
We love you so much Indy. We hope you are still as happy there as you were
with us. Don't worry, we'll be OK, but life will never be the same without
you
All our love forever, Mom and Bear
A very special pet, the best part of our family.
Jami & Alice Hillman
For Indy,
The last words I whispered to you were to come back to
me someday. And you have, every day since.
In my thoughts, in my heart and in my dreams.
I take solace in knowing we were so loved and so spoiled, so forgive me
for not being able to let go of you so soon. The world is full of animals
that need love, and someday my heart will be owned again, just not today.
Keep the sun and a smile on your face until we meet again on the rainbow
bridge. What a happy day that will be.
Loving you always, missing you terribly, your Gord.
The time had come to say goodbye to our beautiful german
shepard, "INDY", even though we weren't ready, we would never
be.
We loved you so much, and now our hearts are broken. We saw you from one
day of age, until the end. I held you as you made your journey to the rainbow
bridge.
We will think of you everyday, and eventually try to smile. You will never
be replaced.
Until we meet again, may you be running with your mother, brother &
sister in good health.
Goodbye old friend.
Love,
Cindie & Mark
Inka, it is our greatest honor to love you and receive your love. Please meet us when we leave this world, and be with us eternally. Until then, be well and play with good caring friends. You are truly perfect love and worthy of all graces. We miss you so very much baby.

Gone from our sight, but never our memories. Gone from our touch, but never our hearts....You were a good cat Inky. And we loved you.
Mary and Maury Humes
We remember Inky every day. He was the best :)
Our sweet mischievous little troublemaker. We love you with all our heart and hope that you forgive us for doing what we had to do to ease your pain. You were A faithful friend for many years. I know we will all be reunited as a family and cross the rainbow bridge together.

Inus, "Little Miss Inus" 5/4/95-5/6/01 Long Haired Peruvian Guinea Pig To my friend, my little baby, my sweet child. You gave me six wonderful years of loyalty, friendship, and love and you are missed more than anyone will ever know. Momma will snuggle with you again and look into those ruby eyes so filled with sweetness and love. Until the day that we are together again, you will live on in my heart, my mind, and my memories. I miss you so much baby.
Love, Momma
Irbe was more than a "pet cat," Irbe was a member of the family. He was a beautiful, funny, loving six year old tabby. His big green eyes won him the hearts of many people. I remember you as a kitten always climbing into empty boxes and hiding. Just waiting for someone to walk by so you can pop up and scare them. I can still picture you on your perch hanging out like you were the king. Or laying on your perch just waiting to hit me, Mom, Uncle Wayne, John, Athena, or Mike with your paw if we didn't pet you as we walked by. I miss you climbing on my headboard and always meowing just before the alarm clock would go off. I can still hear you stomping around the house. I miss you sliding your paw under the door and shaking it to let me know you wanted in to sleep on my bed. We all remember the wild races you would have through the house at 2am. I miss laughing hysterically when you would have your way with mom's robe. Everyone misses seeing you in the window waiting for someone to come home and brush you. I can still feel you staring at me for some treats, or to open the door. I can still feel your presence on my bed at night. My heart is broken. My big cat isn't here, I don't have any food or water dishes to fill, no toys to pick up, no treats to buy, no one meowing to be brushed. We are all truly lonely without you here. Irbe, I ask that you watch over us until we meet again and I can look into your big eyes and tell you how much I Love You.
Your Daddy,
Dave Echer
Your Mommy,
Shirley King
and all of your friends!
Iris, my pretty little girl. Eliot and I miss you.
I'm sorry I didn't see that you needed me. I'm sorry.
I wish I could have been there for you.
I cried for you. I cried because I didn't know if you suffered.
I cried because I didn't know if you looked for me, if you tried to hold
on.
I cried for Eliot, because he's alone now. He's lost without his big sister.
I cried for me. I feel so guilty. Could I have saved you.
Could you have saved me?
I'll light a candle for you. For Peace. For Spirit. For You.
My Irvie was the sweetest, dearest cat, and my best buddy. I miss him terribly. He was only nine years old but had developed a fibrosarcoma which was growing and beginning to drain all of the time. What joy and happiness he brought me during these nine years; I hope I returned the same to him. Rest in peace, Irvie Dirvie; I'll see you again some day.

This wonderfully intuitive little dog kept our terminally ill daughter company and offered her comfort and cuddles until her passing in April of 2001.He was loved by many for his loyal affection. He was only six but maybe Kelly needed him for more hugs?

Isabelle and Stella were loving rattie sisters who gave their people great joy, love, and laughter, and shared in their playful and curious ways. We will miss them greatly but we are glad that they suffer no more from the sickness. Isabelle passed on 11/13/2001 and Stella a week later on 11/20/2001. Stella, you put up a fight, but it is time to meet your sister and be free from the suffering that your body has brought you. You will always be alive in our hearts. See you in our dreams.
Isabo came to us when a neighbor no longer wanted him. He was very sweet and loved to nuzzle and whistle. I never knew there could be so many beautiful shades of the color grey as with this bird, a white faced Cockatiel.
Isabo was killed by the little dog of a visiting friend. The dog was only following instincts, and things happened too quickly.
Here is a picture of this sweet bird http://cards.webshots.com/69097100082

To my beloved Isis -
You were my first baby. You taught me the meaning of unconditional love. Because of you, I discovered the joy of opening my heart and home to other homeless doggies. We had eleven wonderful years together. But it just wasn't enough. I hope you realize how loved and cherished you are. You will be in my heart forever. I love my precious, beautiful baby girl.

Ivan was no bigger than a minute when I first got him.
He could fit in the palm of my hand. But as he grew to his 12 pounds of
Siamese fighting weight he was quite the "hunk."
Handsome and sleek, he had the most soothing purr I have ever heard and
he loved to dance with me.
He was always there for a cuddle and loved people. He never met a human
he didn't like.
Ivan's friends will miss him very much. I hope he is at peace at the Bridge
running joyously through the meadows as he love to do on earth.
Goodbye, Ivan
Vicki Harrison
My beloved Ivory female, was the leader of the Pack with
4 other Rotty's. She had the best personality that I have ever seen. She
always had a kind look on her face with a smile and always wagged her tail.
The only word I could say fits her the best is 'LOVE'.
She always loved me. She was by far, the best dog I ever had.

Dear Ivy:
Your birthday is coming soon!! I want to wish you a very happy birthday in heaven with your big brother Jesse. We miss you so much old girl!!
Love and kisses
Mommy, Poppy, Natasha, Luke & Billy!!
In 1981, I gave a tiny kitten, Izzie to my older sister. In 1987, my sister Barbara died. Izzie was there when she died and had a very special bond with my sister. I made a promise to my Barb that I would always take care of Izzie. She has now been my faithful companion for 14 years.
Izzie, a very sweet and gentle soul will be euthanized 9/1/2001 due to advanced kidney disease. I firmly believe that my sister and Izzie will be reunited in heaven. I should feel a great deal of joy having known Izzie and knowing that she will not suffer. I can image the look on my sister's face to finally be reunited with Izzie.
Izzie, I love you and always will. Please do not wait for me at the rainbow bridge....Barb is waiting for you.

Izzy was my first pet that I got on my own. I knew he was the one by the way he looked at me thru the cage. He wasn't skittish like other lizards. From the start, he would sit in my hand and be content. I'd let him sleep on my pillow while I went downstairs and he'd always be there waiting for me when I returned. I used to take him up the street with me when I went for a walk. He would just sit in my hand, calmly. And if he got a little squirmish, I would cover him up..and he'd settle right down. He was an amazing little creature and there will never be another one like him. I miss him greatly and always will. Can't wait to see you again Izzy :o) Love always, CJ
