Year 2004 Tributes

Faber thru Fuzzy Wuzzy

My Faber is a handsome & caring boy. He will come running to my boyfriend & me whenever we are back from outside, "sayang" us & to show us how much he misses us. During the night, he will come cuddle into our bed & sleep with us. Sometimes he wakes in the night meowing to complain that's not enough space for him. He's been with us for coming 9years... a healthy & strong boy.
Unfortunately, he has been declawed & due to this operation, he suffered from kidney & liver failure... on 15/5/04, we tried to save him but advise from doctor is a negative one. In order not to let him suffer in greater pain, we said our last goodbye to him @3.15pm. I cried, we all did. We're sorry Faber, please forgive us. We love you very deeply down from our hearts & souls & will forever remember you, the wonderful memories & happiness you've given to us. Forget us not, my dear friend. I love you.

Shirley

I just want to thank you for providing a place in which I can honor my Faelan. He was a wonderful little dog, and he owned my heart. When his time came to leave, he left a large void. We, who were left behind, greatly miss our boy, and always will.

S. K. McClafferty

Dear,Dear Fagan...Words cannot even come close to describing how much we will miss you. You accepted each new addition to our family with such grace and dignity.
You will always be my distinguished gentleman, and you will always be loved.

Judy Lovas

We will miss you Fairway. Love, your family.

Kim Wheeler

I wish there was no such thing as Lyme's disease and renal nephritis and that you were still with us. You truly lived up to your name. You were a most faithful companion. We all still miss you even your playmates, Sadie, Hope and Jenna.

Donna Ryan

She was deeply loved in the time that we had her; but, we didn't have enough time. We will always remember the joy that

she brought to our lives and the smiles she put on so many people's faces. She is now, and will always be, sorely missed.

Teresa Kern

To my beautiful baby girl who has now crossed Rainbows Bridge. We love you Falcon and miss you very much. May you rest in peace. We all look forward to the day we reunite once again.

Mirjana Dougherty

At the time of her death, Fame was the oldest greyhound in the country. She taught us that seniors make great pets.-

Sue & Jon Knorr

My precious Fancy is loved an will always be in our hearts.

Susan Clark

Today I lost my special Fancy. She meant so much to me. It was hard to see her died, just laying there. I thought about all the times she had been there for me and made me laugh. Now she is gone and won’t be there to cheer me up any more. We will all miss our Fancy Mouse lots.

Love, Catie, Mom and Dad

Fannie, The house is not the same without you. Beau misses you, too. Now that you are out of pain maybe you can play ball with Gwenny, Rocky, Drake and Lance who had gone before you. We are making you a tribute garden and I will plant a rose like the one you kept pulling up to chew on when you were a puppy. We love you...

James, Dawn & Cody Mays

Fantasia a.k.a. Mamas, To our protector--You have been, and will always be, our Guardian Angel. You were a gift sent from Heaven, and now, we know you are waiting for us. Thank you for your loyalty, love, and devotion to our family. Jump, Hop, and Twirl like you always did! You will always be apart of our family. Forever in our hearts, we love and miss you dearly Fantasia!

Genevieve, Sebastian & Family

Fantasy, I wish that you will have a happy and healthy life on the Rainbow Bridge. I will be missing you forever and I believe that we can reunion in the future.

Natalie

Fantasy girl, I hope you are running circles around your sister dogs. And protecting all the littler babies like you did at home. I miss you and your silly, wonderful ways. You - the tail that wagged the dog! I love you.

Trish McKeen

Thank you, Farley, for teaching us to love unconditionally. You have shown us devotion, love, and dedication. We love you and miss you.

Always remember you buddy, our first Lab

Stephen & Karin Blair

My beloved Farley was my companion, business associate, best friend for 13 years. I had so hoped that we could share many more years in the new country house that we moved into in November. Alas, Farley never did get to romp freely in its lovely yard, to go for long walks in the country side. Everyone that knew Farley considered him the best dog in the world. He touched everyone by his laid back affectionate personality and his vitality. He had many many friends who loved him. His last days were pitiful as he was stricken with a brain tumour in January of this year. I don't think he suffered physically but his suffering certainly was psychological. In the end, he was completely disoriented and blind, I think. I made the hardest decision of my life when I decided to have him put to sleep last Thursday. I've been crying several times a day although I've already replaced him with a new puppy who is a delight but she cannot take Farley's place in my heart yet, although I'm trying. I hope to find him again one day in heaven. I love you Farley and miss you terribly.

Andree Logan

Farley's Rainbow

I have received many blessings in my life, but greatest was the day Farley came into my life. As a kitten he looked more like a baby bat than a cat, I use to wonder if he would ever grow into those ears? As time past he did grow and so did the bond between us. He was my baby, best friend and teacher, a gift from God so that I may learn what love is.

He was not the handsomest nor the smartest cat, but as I came to understand his qualities, it became apparent that Farley was 100% goodness and love, which left little room for brains. When Tac arrived, I worried that they would not get along. But my fears were needless, Farley had such an enormous capacity for love that he took charge of the new kitten. Just like a nanny cat he would carry Tac around, tend to his needs and teach him all a cat needed to know.

It is hard for me to understand how a heart so full of unconditional love and gentleness could become weak and frail. I knew our time together was growing short, but as a human I count a lifetime in Tens of years, Farley's lifetime was not measured by that same scale. He came to me as a birthday gift and sadly I had to give him back to God at Christmas.

The day before he died, we lay together sleeping when I was awoken by the sound of the song "Somewhere over the Rainbow", it was coming from the other room, Larry said he was just checking the in-coming e-mails. In the past God had given me rainbows in times of trouble, but since it was winter I was not expecting any real ones, so hearing that was very special.

As we drove Farley to the vets I knew that he would not be returning home, as much as I loved him, in my heart I knew he was suffering and so I was given the courage to let him go. Afterwards a grief so great settled upon me that I could not face going home, the thought of Farley not being there to greet us brought more tears. Larry and I went down to the lake to sit for a while, but I found no comfort there and so reluctantly we headed back home.

As we walked through the front door, I was overwhelmed by the sight that greeted us, the last rays of the setting sun were shining on the Christmas crystal I had hung in the window and the whole room was bathed in rainbows. I just sat there trying to take in the wonder of it all, gradually the light faded and the rainbows were gone. It was then that Larry called me upstairs to see an e-mail that arrived yesterday, at the time he hid it from me for fear I would be upset, but now he knew the timing was right. It was a piece of prose called "Rainbow Bridge" set to the music "Somewhere over the Rainbow". I had never heard the Rainbow Bridge before and I was deeply moved by the words, what a wonderful story if only it were true.

My heart wanted to believe but my mind had doubts. Each day I sat and waited to see if the rainbows would re-appear, sunny days and cloudy days, each one went by but there was no rainbows. I was unsure of what to make of the event, was it a coincidence or was there some meaning behind it? Then one week to the day at the exact time that Farley had died I was sitting lost in my memories when I noticed the faint traces of colour began to appear on the ceiling, then on the walls, the rainbows had returned. There was fewer than before, but they were there and they were real. A wonderful sense of comfort came over me, my hope had been restored and I was reminded that there was no such thing as a coincidence, just God working anonymously.

Although I feel as if things are not alright, they are, and the universe is unfolding just as it was meant to. I now understand that magic and wonder can only be found through faith, it is by believing that our wishes come true.

I can accept this separation because I know that my beloved Farley is safe in the care of my Higher Power, and I believe that he is waiting for me to join him, then we will be together forever.

Love Leslie & Larry

Run wild, run free, sweet Tiki, in pastures at the Bridge. Thanks for 25 years of friendship from my best friend in a horse suit. We will ride together again some day.

Suzan Lang

You were the love of my life and I thank you so very much all the precious love you gave me.

Cathie Rushing

In memory of my wonderful friend and companion who has been with me through thick and then. My life will never be the same and your love never forgotten. My tremendous grief is only a measure of the love you brought me. Thank you for all and I look forward to meeting you at The Rainbow Bridge.

Anne Poole

Fatima, we miss you so much. I am happy you got to live in your beloved warm Texas again before you went to wait for me at the bridge where I know you will find Poinboy too. He was the love of your life. Too bad you had so many years without him. Well, you have an eternity now. Many kitty kisses. Love, Mom

Dear Fatty, we are so sorry we couldn't save you and we miss you so much. Our home will not be the same without you and we loved you so much. Fatty you were so naughty, we didn't know what to do always chasing miffy, catching little birdies too we had to put a bell on you, thinking it would help it didn't so we put on two, making sure you'd make a sound when you went to pounce on birds, and chase poor old miffypoo you'd bang on doors to come inside, and make a great big noise till someone let you in with half the garden stuck to your fur, you'd settle down and have a bit purr mum always was cleaning up your mess, she was not impressed you'd rub her legs - she hated it, she'd always be telling you off, but you wouldn't stop you'd stalk the kids and frighten some you were so big and strong, you scared off dogs and rolled with one, your big paws wrapped around you were beaten off and sent on home, you were a naughty cat you lazed around and just got fat and love your cardboard box, you slept in it all day long, you were the king of cats we thought you were indestructible, our fatbear, Fatty or fat cat when you left us it was more than we could bear, we could not stand the pain, your resting under your favourite tree the place we know you'd want to be if you could come back tomorrow, you could bring the whole garden inside and mum wouldn't care she'd even let you rub her legs just to let you know she cares.

FeFe, what a sweetheart you were. You were the biggest dog I ever had. I couldn't keep you on a run line, you'd break every one! All I could do was to keep you in a special yard just for you and I'd visit you every day. I never could teach you any manners, you were just so wild and wonderful and free. The only thing I could teach you was to sit down if you wanted me to come in your yard to visit you so you wouldn't knock me over. You silly baby with your tongue too big for your mouth, with it hanging out of your mouth all the time. Then came the day of the fire, how horrible. I see you sitting at your gate. I'll never forget seeing your beautiful expectant face, hoping that I had come out to visit you, as flames leaped from the roof, and chased me out the back door. You sat on the ground, waging your big bushy long tail, smiling, hoping that this would signal me to come visit you. Fefe, I couldn't think......I was in shock, I was paralyzed. I looked at you and I looked at Tiffany and I couldn't figure out what to do. I couldn't think to open your gates so that you two could run free, run from the fire. Sweet girl, I'm so sorry. Craig told me later that they found you back in your little house; you had been trying to hide and escape. Please forgive me. They gave you a pretty Christian burial, but I couldn't go. Please forgive me for that too. Fefe, sleep well my friend, thank you for sharing your brief life with me, thank you for protecting me as best you could and I just wish I could have protected you better. I look forward to the time that we can meet again and we can hug and kiss and love and hopefully your forgive me. But just don't knock me down again, okay squirt?? I love you sweetheart. Sleep with the angels my love.

Suzan MacIsaac

I would like for you'll to remember FeFe, she was Hot Shot's companion.

They are very special to both my husband and I.

Darlene Strickland

To My Adorable best friend Feisty. You were the best, life will never be the same without you. I am so sorry that I was always so busy, and know that I miss you and love you until the end of time. I pray that I will meet you again, and look into your loving eyes and hold you again. I pray.

Heather McRobert

My beloved darling Felicia.
I will miss you horribly.
Ever time I sing, I will feel you on my lap, see your bright eyes, and hear your soft purr.
I love you and can't wait to see you again.

Renee Harris

I got you, when you were 4 years old, already a grown-up, but you didn't care, you have been a big kitten all your life. I loved you with all my heart, still do, but now you have gone to another world. You have been the nicest, funniest cat I have ever loved, and no kitten, sweet as they all are, can ever replace you. I miss you so much. I wish, you could have stayed a little longer, then my heart wouldn't hurt this much now, and I would still be able to hear you Miaw to me, when I returned to home. Felis, you lived a fun life with people, who loved you, never missing anything in the world. I hope some day to see you again.

Susanne Kongsbach

To Felix my 16 year old red tabby who has been a loyal and loving companion through good and bad times, I will miss you terribly and thank God for the wonderful years we shared. I could not have asked for a more wonderful pet. You are loved and will be missed by many.

Louise Wakulchik

Felix, we love you and miss you so much. Especially Beetle and Ben! You're probably chasing some birds around right now. :) You were one of a kind, kid.

Jessica Parij

Farewell our beloved Fee-Boy. We are so lucky to have known you. You had a hard life first with being abandoned and then, after we got you, having heart problems after your teeth were cleaned. We'll always remember you walking behind us up the sidewalk to the park. You were very special. You were taken from us too soon, and in too horrible a way. I hope you are up there right now stretched out in the warm sun and welcoming Kippi, who left us just two weeks ago. We will love you forever. Take care, dear boy... we'll see you again.

Julie and Jim

Felix was a loyal and beautiful friend who bravely fought his battle with cancer. He reminds me to live like he lived -- to embrace every day as if it's the most wonderful day in your life, love with out reservation, create fun out of nothing, accept all those who are not labbie perfect, even cats and put your family above all else. He was my angel and will be missed until we meet again.

Carin Galletta

When I was ten years old, I got the kitten I always wanted.
18 1/2 years later, I said goodbye to my special kitty.
I love you and miss you, Figaro.

Erin Fowler

One of the best friends anyone could have ever had. Always there, always helping and never complaining. A good traveler and so giving of himself in every way. Fig, you never complained right to the end. You are so much loved and so very much missed.

Jeanne Saulnier

Love you Figi, you will always be in the warmth of my heart, and never leave there.

Ashley

Figgie, you will always be my most beloved and best friend. Though I don't cry as much as I used to, and now I can laugh and remember the times we shared, I will always miss you. Be happy, my Puddin. Find the perfect sunshine spot! I know your spirit is with me. You've done so many things to let me know you're here. Someday I'll meet you at the Bridge and we'll cross over together. I'll carry you just as I always did. How I loved to get your sweet sugar! You will always be my best, my very best friend. You are "Mommy's boy" today and forever. I love you-Mommy

I can't believe we have lost our Figgy.

It's a funny story how Figgy came into our lives. Last July (2003), my fiancé and I were getting ready to leave to go out of town to celebrate his birthday. We had gone to a moving sale in another town the weekend before and had stopped in at the spur of the moment. While Jamie walked around looking at everything for sale, I followed Figgy around petting him, sitting with him, talking to him. When Jamie was done and we were getting ready to leave, I asked Figgy's owner, "Is the cat for sale? I'll take the cat!" He said, "Actually, I've been trying and trying to find a home for him. I'm leaving in a week to go traveling for years maybe and I don't have a home for him yet." I said, "We'll take him!" Jamie said, "No we won't!" (Mind you, we already had plenty of cats) and I said, "Yes we will!" So the day before we were supposed to leave, Jamie and I went to pick up Figgy, but he was an indoor / outdoor cat and had disappeared. Jamie returned the next day to get him, and we had only a very little bit of time to get him accustomed to his new living space before we were leaving to go out of town. I kept calling my mother to have her check on him to see how he was doing. When we got home, there was Figgy!!

We were told by his previous owner that he was about eight years old. Our vet said she'd place him at twelve. All I know was we only got eight little months with him! Eight months! I am a wreck and just keep thinking about how unfair that is!

In late January / early February, Figgy came down with a cold. We didn't take him to the vet. No big deal. He had a cold. But when I realized just how long he had had it and how much worse it was getting (as he was having a very difficult time breathing), we took him to the vet on March 6th. He ran Figgy's blood tests and said that kidney failure was ruled out. Figgy's kidney's were fine. I breathed a huge sigh of relief. We took Figgy home and helped him try to get over his upper respiratory infection. But he wasn't eating or drinking.

On the 9th we took him to a second vet. They ran his blood test. He had Kidney disease. Huh? How is that possible. They checked the previous tests done by the first vet. They confirmed that Figgy's kidney's had in fact come back fine just three days prior. They told us that he could very well only have a couple more months left to live. I refused to believe this. Jamie and I talked it over and we let them keep him in the hospital for three days. They hooked him up to IV's and we went to visit him everyday! On March 12th, we took him home. He was rehydrated and looking so well!

For the next week we tried desperately to get him to eat. We tried baby food, cat food, human food, he would not eat. Finally we had to start force feeding him baby food. I then researched his five medications the vet had put him on. Turns out three of them makes his stomach upset, and apparently cats with kidney problems should be on Pepcid AC to help with their stomach acid. We took him off of four of his medications and started giving him Pepcid. He started eating! He ate like he was starving. Jamie and I were overjoyed! We had found a food that he liked and he was eating it! I cannot explain the relief we felt! The next couple of days we watched him eat and shared in the joy that he was going to be okay! He was going to get better! Only a couple months to live, ha! He'd show them all!

But on March 22nd, Figgy suddenly stopped eating. We didn't understand what was going on. Pepcid wasn't helping, force feeding him wasn't helping, he refused to eat. The he got up to try to walk and instead, he stumbled around and fell over. This came on very suddenly. Seriously within a five minute timeframe, he went from being able to walk just fine, to not being able to walk at all!

On the 23rd, I called a third vet and set up an appointment for that night. I called Jamie, who had stayed at home that day. He said he had gotten Figgy to eat a little bit. He did not tell me how bad he had gotten. When I got home that night, I saw Figgy just lying on the bed completely lifeless and unresponsive. I literally freaked. I called the vet and they told us to bring him in immediately. When we got there, he was having a hard time holding his head up, he was shaking badly, and seemed like a limp rag doll. He would look at you, but it was like he didn't see you at all. They put him on fluids and ran his kidney values. 130!! I couldn't believe it. I had been told normal values were around 30. They left us alone and Jamie and I just clung to each other and cried. How could this be happening?!! How could he go from so bad to so, so, so good, to very, very bad? We took him home that night and the vet told us to call the next morning with a report. If the fluids helped, we could start giving him injections at home. I still had hope! Injections at home, I was sure would be the key! We would do anything to save little Figgy!

But right before bed, on the 23rd, Jamie checked on Figgy, who was lying on his own pillow on the floor at the foot of our bed. His pillow was all wet. Seems he had lost control of his bladder, and him not being able to move, get up, or walk around did not help. We turned his pillow over, covered him up with new towels and said goodnight.

The 24th comes. I wake up early and check on Figgy. His head was hanging off of the pillow at an odd angle. I thought he was gone. I was actually thankful that we didn't have to make the decision and that he had gone in his sleep. But no, he was still alive, just too weak to pick up his head. I went to pick him up. He was soaked again. Who knows how long he had to lie on a wet pillow waiting for us to wake up and clean him up!

I started crying. I just held him and Jamie and I looked at each other. We refused to let him deteriorate like this! We made the decision and called the vet. Four hours later, after much pleading with the vet, "Are you SURE there's nothing else we can do?", Figgy was gone.

A feeling of relief set over me and Jamie. We wouldn't have to force feed him, we wouldn't have to give him medicine that he hated, we wouldn't have to watch him suffer or stumble around, or lie down and not be able to move, but wait for us to turn him over, we wouldn't have to find him all wet from where he had peed, just waiting for us to clean him.

But as the day went on, the feelings of regret settled in on me. Jamie was 100% positive that we had done the right thing. I knew it. I still do, but I can't get the thoughts out of my head: maybe we should have waited, maybe we should've given it more thought, maybe there was SOMETHING else we could have done.

Right now it's not even 24 hours since Figgy was put down. I'm a mess. How does such a special cat come into your life by a turn of fate and then eight months later gets ripped out of your life? My heart is in pieces and I'm a mess.

Jennifer and Jamie

Figment was more than a cat, he was the child we could not have. He not only was loved but he returned the love to us.

Brad and Melissa Radecki

To our buddy who tried so hard and never gave up. We loved you though the end and are so sorry that we couldn't have done more. You gave us so much joy and love and never lost that wonderful temperament. Bye Fig, we love you.

Pat Jellen

Fiji, How ironic that your birthdate is 01/01/01 - even though we celebrated it I guess I just never realized it. Regardless of that, I want you to understand how much you are missed. I have regrets, many regrets and I sure hope that you can forgive me of any wrong doings. Max has been curling up in your bed - yes all 180 pounds of him can fit in that little tiny bed of yours. It is sad to watch but I think it comforts him. As for Amanda, well she is getting ready to go on her trip to the East Coast. Remember when I got you, it was three years ago when she was gone. This trip she takes is going to bring back so many memories of the day I first met you. How I was finally called down to the pound to look at a Pekinese and as I walked by your cage you licked my hand. I can say, I think you had a wonderful up bringing. The man and lady that owned you before took very good care of you and in fact, you were the topic of their custody battle. It was unfortunate that you ended up at the pound but luckily it was only for a mere one and a half-hours prior to us finding eachother. I will never forget when Amanda came home from the East Coast with a full leg cast on. It was amazing how you took to her the second she came in the door. Amanda is 13 now and you gave her a good life. For Amanda you were the sister that I could not biologically give. For me, the second child I always longed for.

I think we will be OK. If it helps you cross the bridge and find happiness, know that we will be OK. It may not be today or tomorrow that the emotional scars lessen but I will take good care of Amanda.

I found a poem and changed some of the words - I read it out loud to you several times over the past few days. Please don't get hung up on the last two lines because we can never replace you... but here it is I will lend to you for a while, a pup, God said,

For you to love her while she lives and mourn her when she's dead.

Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or only two or three.

But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me?

She'll bring her charms to gladden you and (should her stay be brief)

You'll always have her memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return

But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true

And from the folk that crowd life's land, I have chosen you.

Now will you give her all your love nor think the labor vain.

Nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again?

I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord Thy Will be done."

For all the joys this pup will bring the risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may

And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay.

But should you come to call her back much sooner than we've planned

We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try and understand.

If, by our love, we've managed your wishes to achieve

In memory of her we loved, to help us whilst we grieve,

When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,

We'll have yet another pup and love her all her life.

Because you have moved on, I have been lead to petloss.com. I have talked with and read stories of people who are just like me. Who would have thought... all this time I have been so afraid of people and ONLY loved animals, but Fiji girl, there are people out there they treat their pets as we do.

This entire time I have been blaming myself but after talking to your grandma yesterday I figured something out... You would never leave my side. All day long while working in the field you were right at my every step. You were no where near the highway - not even close. I turned away for a split-second when the impact occurred and grandma seems to think it is because we were prompted or called to go. Now maybe, just maybe there was a higher power telling you that it was time for you to move on and that it was time for you to help someone else. I don't know if you believe in reincarnation, I don't know if I do..... But IF you are going to be called back to earth to help someone else, please give them as much love and support as you did Amanda and I in our most time of need.

Fiji dog, we really miss you.... Especially at bed time (well and in the morning, and when it is time to get a shower, and check the mail and every other breathing moment we have) We are saddened by the tragedy and hope you did not suffer. I think we have figured out who it was that did the terrible hit and run, I am walking a thin line here with my decision to go to their house or not.... There is nothing they can do to bring you back and I have heard that they got 'tired' of their dog so they shot it.... Maybe going there to voice my opinion is not the best idea but I wanted them to see the pain in which Amanda and I suffer. I guess that would not make me a good person either would it. We are going to try to move on, NOT to forget, but function. With all our heart, mind, body and soul - we are wagging our tails for you. Your momma Ps, as I type this letter to you, there are three white tail dear in your field. They are coming to the house. I moved all the horses to this side of the highway so we will never again, ever again use the pasture across the street. It has been very hard to go across the street to grandmas house. Seeing the evidence of where the impact occurred simply reminds me too much. We prayed for rain to wash the highway and we were granted rain for 15 minutes but it doesn’t clear my head of the visions. We are going to finish the fence. We will fence all six acres so Max does not wander to grandmas for cookies. I hope where you are there are an abundance of cookies and others to play with. Love you Fiji girl, we truly do.

Tracie Rhinehart

I want to tell Firetruck thank you for being my "Sunshine" on a cloudy day, being my best friend and always giving me unconditional love. You were always there for me with life's ups and downs. We would have so much fun at the park, swimming in the river, and going riding in the Mustang. You loved to go drag racing. You took care of me when I was sick. Even after your passing you still give me signs that you are still with me. A face in the clouds, a rainbow in the sky, and a Fire Truck going down the road. Sometimes words can not express how I feel, but I know that you know. I look to the heavens and know that one day we will cross the Rainbow Bridge together. Oh and by the way, You, Me and Strange can not wait to see you again. Til we meet again...I will see you later. I love you with all of my heart. Love always, Mom

he left us 5 yrs ago and we still grieve for him. safely over the rainbow bridge

Gary/Dena Ridenour

For the past two years, I had a little light in my life that loved me like no other. He was my baby, and I was his Mamabird. Every day I wake up, and I miss you Flapper. Even though I never taught you to read, I pray that you understand how much you meant to me, how much I loved you, and how much you made me understand that you really did love me from the bottom of your teeney heart.

I MISS YOU!

Mamabird and Papabird

I miss you so much, Flash.
A truly wonderful family dog, 'mummys little boy', thankyou so much for the wonderful time we had together. You made our house a home and completed the family. So gentle and loving, kind and sweet. Mummy will always love you. Until we meet again my darling. Always in my heart xxxxxxxxx

Katrina David and Philippa Baxter

Flash: you were very special in my life. You gave me unconditional love and I hope that someday we can be together again. I love you so much! I miss you. Daddy Joe

Joe De La Torre

Flash Dog-We miss you buddy. Brianna especially. We miss you greeting us when we come home, we miss your guard dog doorbell bark, you were better than the actual doorbell. Harley Hog and Jorin PG Cat miss you too, Hog misses the baths you gave him. We know you have no arthritis now, and can run and play to your heart's content.

Love and Miss you-Dad Jim, Mom Ang, Bree& Carley, Hog & Jorin

Run like the wind, my sweet furry boy. You're free now and always remember that I love you.

Rachel

Run free and away my faithful friend
Goodbye to our tomorrows
Watch over our days my faithful friend
Until into that long goodnight we follow

Fly with the wind my furry friend
Being carefree was always your part
Go chase the leaves my furry friend
You’ve tracked your love into my heart

My couch was yours oh hairy one
You laying there being such a pest

My heart is heavy now oh smelly one
Because on it is where you rest

I miss you now my lazy boy
Our time was up too soon
I see you still old Fletcher boy
Snoozing in the Living Room

What happens next my dopey dog
Is it rebirth, dust, or wings
Come what may my crazy dog
You'll live forever in my dreams

Wally and Patti Calvert

Flipper, my Flipper. I love you and miss you very much. You were the first one after Bigfoot and you filled my life with fur and affection for a long time. You were gentle with Toshi after he was born and you tolerated his unintentional roughness. Om mani padme hung.

Ilsa Enomoto

Floky, I'll always love you and I'll never forget you. I hope to meet you one day.
Floky, sempre t'estimare i mai t'oblidaré. Espero que algun dia ens poguem retrobar.

Floppy has joined her brother and sister in heaven. She was my "baby". Her love was unconditional as mine was for her. She will be truly missed by this family, but she will always remain in our hearts. One day, Floppy....one day...

Peggy Thierry

Fifteen wondeful years ago, you found us on a busy highway.

God brought you to us and we gave you all our love (every moment. You returned that Love, every ounce a Thousand fold.

No matter what happened, no matter how sad we might be, no one could be unhappy in your presence.

Fluffy, just the thought of you brought smiles to our faces.

Just to watch you brought joy to our hearts.

Just to see you play brought laughter to us.

Just the touch of your Love brought contentment to our souls.

June 11, 2004 we had to physically part, for now.

We are so blessed for having shared your Love and Beauty. That can never change.

You taught us Love and gave us more Love than we could ever give back.

We cherished every moment and we always will. At least until we are reunited with you.

Fluffy, Fluffer, Fluffski, There is a Hole in the World Tonight and a Hole in Us that only you can fill.

Our baby is now a Heavenly Kitty.
We can feel the Love!!

Fluffy, We Love You.

Mom, Dad and Sissy.

The Kleins

The Empty Feeling

Just for now, we part
Our Love so Deep
Pierces more than the Heart
The bond for us to keep

The joy you gave
Us to share
Of God you are made
Broken Heart, not fair

A Hole in the World
Up to Heaven you flew
Our precious baby girl
Immeasurable, our Love for you

Your Beauty and Love
All we could need
Precious gift from above
Fluffy, the greatest indeed

Dear Fluffy,
I really miss you a lot as you probably can see because I know you are up in Heaven looking down on us. I would give anything to have you back, and I know that everyone else would too. But, since I can’t, I want to remember the good times we had together. I would now like to say them to you, and everyone else.
The first thing that popped into my mind is when I used to play with you. It was so fun to do this because you would either try to get the toy and be left there hugging the chair, or you would get the toy and try to bite the end of it off. Then we would go back to playing and doing the same over, and over again. The other things I remember are when you got scared of a paper bag being moved around, the vacuum trying to get you, us tapping your food bowl and you rushing to get the food, you jumping up on the piano bench or sitting near the piano to her me play. I once remember when I was just sitting on the bench and you jumped on the piano and started walking on it making all kinds of noise.
Other things I remember are me brushing you, which was one of the things I loved the most, you trying to get the food on the dinner table, you sitting next to me at dinner, you poking mom, or me to get some food, and you jumping up on the desk and blocking Dad or I when we were working on the computer. I could say more, but I would be here all day. You are the best cat, kitty, or sister in my life and now I can’t see you, but I can talk to you, but some day I will be able to do both and look forward to that day. I love you with all of my heart, and I miss you a ton. See you soon!
Love,
Your little sis

Dennis, Robin and Jordana Klein

Fluffy was purchased at a pet store for $15. He was an adorable little kitten with a great personality. He was always in good health until his 14th year when he had problems with his kidneys and had to get fluids administered daily. He was taken to the vets 2 weeks after his 15th birthday when his condition worsened.

Fluffy my cat: You and I went through so much together my friend. I was only 12 when you joined our family. You were a constant in my life and I remember many nights with you snuggled in my bed. The time I remember most was that Christmas Eve when I was sick and everyone was out visiting relatives. You never left my side that night and to this day 20+ years later I still think of you and miss you. I also miss your crazy hoppy walk you used to do. It makes me smile to this day to think of you flying down the rec room steps and galloping across the carpet. Please take good care of Mikey (5/29/04) and make sure you're at the Rainbow Bridge with him when I show up! Thanks for your love for all those years. You are a true angel. Thanks!

Louis, Sandy, Andrew, Angela & Carrie

We love you Fluffy and you will always be with us.

Emma & John

We miss you terribly. You'll always be in our hearts.

Emilia Mendoza

Farewell Friend, yet not farewell.
where I go, ye too, shall dwell.
I am gone, before your face,
a moments time a little space.
when ye have gone where I have stepped,
ye will wonder, why ye wept.

Kevin

Many years have passed fluffy but think of you every day still. Bless you.

Helen Townend

Gone but I will never for get her. She will always live in my heart. it hurt so much to think of her gone. love you Fluffy

Wanda Moomaw

Fluffy was with me since 6 weeks of age. He was the cutest little bundle of fur. A tiny little furry kid, mostly white, with some black on his face, tail, and a giant exclamation mark on his right side. He made it to 13 1/2.

Suddenly within the last 2 weeks, he became really ill, really fast. He couldn't eat or drink water anymore, so we had to take him to the vets last night and say goodbye. :*( He was my child, my life, my sweet little babydoll. His buddy Marmalade crossed over Aug.2,2002. I really do hope they can be together again wherever we all go from here. I hope it is heaven. Fluffy was always the most sweet and gentle soul I've ever known. He was always compliant & loved to be picked up and held. He especially liked being draped over my left shoulder so I could show him things high up he could never get to. He saw alot of the world that way. His last week on this realm, he was just a shadow of his former self. He would go under the bed & just stay there, not sleeping..just staring. He would meow painfully whenever he stood up on his shaky little legs. He managed to scrape up enough energy to go lay in the backyard in the grass.

He lost so much weight, he was all bony all over, except for the mass growing in his tummy. :*( I can't imagine how it could have gotten worse for him, as he was dying a slow and painful death already. :*( We tried everything we could to keep him here with us, and I was there til the end. I just hope he is free from pain & there really is a rainbow bridge. I will miss him always and forever and a day and one more. I will never forget him and I will always love that sweet little face. :*(

Amy & Dave Makowski

Buddy...Much loved pet who saw owner through chemo, radiation, and much much more.
A real character who kept me fighting for 14 years after a cancer diagnosis.
I'll always be grateful to him and I'll always love him.

Mary Schroyer

Its over 2yrs since you fell asleep in my arms after a 9 month fight with cancer and I still miss you so much, I love you Flynn

Gary Bryan

Goodbye FM, you have been my friend for all these years. I found you this morning in your kitty cup and you passed over as I said goodbye. I will miss the sounds you made when you wanted to be fed. I know you'll always have your favorite chicken dinner over the bridge. I will lay you to rest tonight under the big tree in front so you can sleep in peace outside. Sleep well little one - Bubba, Tom, Bear, and Big White will miss you. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Denis Sanders

Until we meet again Foo.

Warren, Taylor and Ashleigh Otto

To my little moomoo,

Your Frito smelling paws will never be forgotten.
You were an angel sent to our family and now you have gone back home.

Diana

Thank you for sharing your life with us Foxie. We had so much fun together. You will be missed and never forgotten. Be at peace now sweet girl. Wait with George until someday when we will all be together again. We love you Foxie.

Trina and Gary

To the best friend anyone could have asked for, eternal rest to you.

Belinda

Foxy:

We are in deep pain and sorely miss you. You were our baby, our friend and buddy. We will never forget you and will always love you forever. Thank you for giving us thirteen and a half years of love and friendship.

Steve, Cheryl, Kelly, Nicole Williams

Foxy Lady, my beautiful sassy little girl, you have been the most wonderful friend I could have ever wished for. I loved every minute of our life together and will always remember you on the dunes of Carmel, the cafes of New York City and on Rodeo Drive at Christmastime, dressed up in your pink dress and pearls. Your playfulness, intelligence and compassion are a wonder to me. All your human friends and canine pals mourn your passing and we will never forget you and the love that you had for every minute of your sweet, long life. I miss your kisses already and dream about your toes tapping on the wooden floor as you run into the kitchen to see what I'm cooking. Driving the 101 with you in the seat beside me, stopping in San Luis O for smoked ribs, pulling up to In and Out burger, Baja Fresh and so on was more fun with you than any human would have been. I hope I have been the best girlfriend and caretaker you could have had. You were the perfect companion for me and you know that. Please go find Michael now and tell him I love him and that he should take care of you now that you're both in heaven. Tell him you like motorcycles too!
We'll all meet again on day, sweetie face.
Love,
Roberta

To the best little fuzzy friend I have known or asked to have had in my life. He touched people to their soul the second the saw him and he said hello.  
I am so sad for his leaving me.

Kevin McCloskey

Thank you for being my comfort and joy, especially during the times of my life when I had very little of either. I'll miss you forever, my warm fuzzy bunny friend.

Patricia Lugo

You came into our life when we found you in a pet taxi sitting in the middle of a highway. we didn't need you, or so we thought but we couldn't leave a little pup in the middle of that highway. we took you home and you, Ethel and Moses became best friends. you were kind of shy but soon came out of that. you became part of the family and we miss you alot. you are with Moses and Magoo at Rainbow Bridge, we love you and miss you.

Patty Heflin

Farewell my baby. You are no longer in pain. Prince has been waiting for you for almost 3 years now for you to join him. Mommy & Daddy love you.

Robert & Agnes Yates

Our wonderful little red dog passed away this weekend after almost 17 years of pure joy to know him. We will forever remember the joy that he brought us. Sleep well bud. The best dog in the world.

Dae & Susan Carroll

The love of my life, the best boy ever, forever in my heart and soul and mind. My baby man boy, my Frankie, my best friend, my son. I can't believe he's gone, but I treasure every second he was in my life. I love you Frankie. Love Mommy

I just had my dog Franklin put down. I never had a more loyal, more trustable friend than him. I really never had any human give me the kind of adoration and love than he did. He was myfaithful companion on the road trips to and from Jersey every weekend, guarded the house with a ferocious bark that hid the gentle, loving puppy within. He loved to go to the park and play, or just go for long walks around the installation. He was never mean to anyone, but always protective of his family.

He apparently has been sufferring from gradual renal failure for about 6 months. I never saw it coming. I had no clue. When the vet told me today it hit me like a ton of bricks.

His last living act was to look at me with those brown eyes, and lick me on the hand to tell me" hey, it's ok.....I know you are doing this so I don't have to suffer anymore." and then he was gone.

I'll miss Franklin terribly over the next few weeks or months or years. I doubt I'll ever have one like him again.

Michael and Audrey Hoyle

Sweet Frankie - the light of my life. You're exuberance brought me more joy than anyone deserves. You will forever be in my heart.

Maureen Pearcy

Franky, we miss you terribly. Our hearts ache and hope that you are happy where ever you are. We love you.

Tammie and Marty Golabek

You came into our live's like the morning sun... you were always there.... you gave unconditional love no matter what.. we went through good times and tough times. and somehow you always made us stronger... until the day I knew I had to say goodbye... We love you Franny and miss you so much it hurts... we will meet again. over the bridge...

Mom, Dad, Erika, Monica, Nate and Sammy

Our "little man" was claimed too soon from us...a piece of our hearts has now gone with him to rainbow bridge.

Liz and Joe Pluskota

We love and miss you Fraz! We know the right decision was made but it sure was difficult. You are no longer suffering, or uncomfortable. We still hear your footsteps in the hall, and your snoring on the couch. The boys miss snuggling up to you. We love you!

Jack, Heather, John, Josh & Will Lawlor

Words cannot describe the joy Frazier brought to our lives. He was a "gem". A true gift from God. He was an extra pair of eyes for me while my children were growing up. Another will never take his place. A special friend and companion to us all. Love you Frazier!! Until we meet again you are forever in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. Thank you for all that you gave us over the years. Love Mom, Dad, Mitchell & Kayla

I miss you girl.
You were a great friend throughout my childhood and now as an adult I will forever miss you.
We all loved you so much.

Mike Galen

You came into our family and became a permanent member.

The Blair Family

You came into our lives when you needed us and we needed you. You added so much love to our lives that it was overwhelming. We miss you so very, very much. Keep warm and safe Boo Boo, I love you and my heart aches for you. Mom

Fred my dear dear Scooter you will be forever in our hearts and your tail in your mom's hand. We are so proud of you and all the hard work and healing you did. Thanks for showing us to celebrate every day on the green side of the grass, just like you did. You were brave and strong and although not understood by most you were most loved by your mom and I. See you again dear Scooter.

Steve Kavalin

Fred was the first bird I ever had. He lived to be 12 years old, which is unusual for a finch. Shortly after getting him, he got out of his cage and ran into the wall and when he fell to the floor he broke his little leg. I took him to the vet and he put a little splint on his leg. After it was healed Fred decided to chew off his splint so I didn't have to take him back to the vet to have it removed. He loved singing along to any songs that had any kind of horns in them. He was a very cute and funny bird and We'll never forget him.

Love, Jody

Freddie suffered so much in this existance. She was almost feral, and wanted love so badly, but was unable to allow herself to get close enough to us to receive it. We could pet her head, but it was obvious she wanted much more. My only wish is that I could have held her while she passed, and told her I loved her one more time. I'll miss you baby girl. Always.

Pamela Dugan

I WILL NEVER FORGET MY SWEET, PRECIOUS GIRL FREDDIE. SHE DIDNT COME HOME THURS. NIGHT, MAY 20. I HAD TO LEAVE FOR CANADA MAY 21. I CAME BACK ON SUNDAY AND SHE STILL HAD NOT COME HOME. I CALLED THE ANIMAL SHELTER AND DISCOVERED SHE HAD BEEN FOUND 2 BLKS. FROM OUR HOME. THE GRIEF IS VERY INTENSE AND I LOVED FREDDIE A LOT. SHE WAS THE MOST SPECIAL OF THREE CATS TO ME. SHE WAS LOVING, SWEET AND GENTLE AND HER LOSS WILL BE FELT BY ME FOR A LONG TIME. I CRIED SO MUCH FOR YOU FREDDIE LAST NIGHT AFTER I FOUND OUT. I LOVE YOU YOUR MOMMA, GRETCHEN JOHANNE PS YOUR PAPPA LOVES YOU TOO AND MISSES YOU. YOUR PAPPA IS THE ONE THAT GOT U. YOU WILL MEET MY PRECIOUS WINKS SOON IN KITTY HEAVEN AND BE FRIENDS THERE.

Johanne Trollinger

My sweet Freddie Girl for a short 14 years & 5 months you chose me. You were the light in my life, I will see you in my dreams sweet girl, till we can again be together. I will love you forever more my Sweet Freddie Girl

Ruth Kempster

Fred started having seizures soon after Christmas. The reasons for the seizures was never diagnosed. However, after suffering close to 15 a day for 3-4 days, we made the decision to put him to sleep last night. Fred will always remain in our hearts as one of the sweetest, most personable cats ever known. We wish we knew how we could have helped him. We only hope that he left us with love in his heart and isn't mad at us for what we decided. We only wanted to ease his pain and make him happy again. We love you Fredders. We will miss you dearly.

Sarah

Freeda a/k/a FreedaGoodHome... lost her fight with lymphoma last Friday. She was kind and sweet and always happy. Words can't describe how much we miss our pup. Run fast, Freedy.

Linda & Butch

Freeway, not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you lots. I miss coming home from work and having you there waiting for me and so happy that mommy is home. Your little Tiny misses you so too. Mommy loves you very much and misses you bunches. Hugs and kisses to you in heaven. Love Mommy.

To our dear Sweet-Loving Freeway, you were the most wonderful and sweetest dog anyone could ever hope to have. Thank You for the unconditional love and friendship you gave to us all every day. You were such an important member of our family it's almost unbearable to imagine life without you here with us. You are without doubt irreplaceable. The memories you blessed our family with will live forever in our hearts. Thank You Sweet Freeway for the 14 wonderful years you spent sharing your special love with all of us. We will Love you Always and Forever. Dad, Mom, Adrienne, Danna, Kyler, & Jesse

Freeway was our loving, happy, smiling little friend who showed us trust and friendship throughout his life. The evening when I said my goodbyes to 'the little fella' just before he departed this life, will be a sad memory until the day when we meet again.

Tony

You gave me so much in the 4 years you were with me. You were a kind and faithful companion. I hope that your stay with me was comfortable. I miss you so much already.

K. Blocksdorf

Dear precious Friday, You have been missed so much these past two years. A day has not gone by that I have not thought about you. Our consolation has been your sister Meggie who helped fill the void in our hearts. But now we've had to let Meggie go too, and once again our hearts are heavy with grief and the void is bigger than ever. I pray she has found her way to you and that you are together once again in that very happy peaceful special place God has made for His very special creatures.

Lydia

Always in our thoughts and hearts sweet bubba bear.

Cathy

Kissin, I will miss you biting my ankles, stealing popcorn out of the bag with your huge paws, sharing the warmth of the heater and just being in my life, you were quite the kitty. Glad I was there for you and we'll see you and all the rest at the bridge. Love you, Jill, Mel, Mary, John, Emily, bark, baby, and pie.

We found each other when I was 3. You were my best friend during an abusive childhood. You never let me down. I could talk to you about everything and you never judged me, you just loved. I don't know what I would have done with out you all those years Friskums, you saved me from insanity or worse. Those huge feet of yours! How I miss the hugs you gave with them. Hugs and kisses and special tummy rubs my best friend, and more tears on your fur.

Lisamarie

To My Beloved Cat Frisky,

I will always miss you. Thank you for being the best cat I could have ever asked for. You were the greatest, funniest, sweetest, friendliest, smartest, gentlest loving soul I have ever known. It was such an honor being your "catmommy," and I take comfort in the memories I have of you. I am so thankful that I had you for over twenty years and that you never suffered at all as you passed away to the Rainbow Bridge.
I will miss you always and think of you everyday until we meet again.

All My Love,

Sara

Frisky was my first cat. She was lost to heat stroke just weeks after my mother passed away from cancer.

Rob

She was the matriarch of our family, always interested in our doings, she was our supervisor, and when we would sit next to each other - she was our chaperone, always squeezing in between us. She was an unending fount of love, never asking more than to have a warm place to sleep and food to eat - and occasionally to leave the faucet running for her to drink from.

Jim & Julie Veneskey

There are no words to describe the overwhelming sense of loss we have encountered, but this feeling of great sadness is rivaled only with the overpowering love shared between family. The Lord had ensured,
that for whatever reason, you had found us, loved us and left us, just as he will ensure that one day, we will find you, love you and never leave each other again. Until we meet again, Mom, Dad and Shadow (sis).

Frissbee Alexander was not just a dog. He was our best friend. He guarded the house from strangers, watched doggie TV, and was the best company anyone could have asked for. He watched over our parents while we were away at school and comforted us when we came home.
WE MISS YOU GREATLY FRISSBEE!!!!! We still remember your white fur rubbing against our legs while we were in the kitchen preparing something to eat. We remember that you thought you were the biggest dog on the block (even at 10 pounds.) Even though you are not physically here with us, we know that you are watching over all of us. WE LOVE YOU for your loyalty to our family. Lots of Love from mom, dad, Karyn, and Mike.

Our precious boy. You were an absolute joy all the years you were with us. We adored you and know you adored us. I know the angels will keep you safe and are playing with you know. Some day we will all be together again. We miss you our "bello" boy. Mommy and Daddy

We fell in love with you during that 1st grade field trip to the humane society. We had to have you with us and they were so glad we adopted you since people don't adopt "old dogs". Fritzi, you gave us 3 wonderful years. We will always love you.

Cindy, Jonathan and Tim

Fritzie was a special, sweet, loving dog. She was devoted and always gentle. No other dog will ever replace her. I miss her terribly.

Claudia

To my best friend. I'm so glad I picked you out of all the others at the pound. You will forever be my "little pound puppy".

Elisse Brown

Fritzie came into our lives almost three years ago when he was scheduled to be euthanized at the local shelter. My husband and I adopted him despite his failure to "pass the health guarantee test". Fritzie was the sweetest lap dog anyone could ever ask for. His eyes were forgiving, tender and filled with love. Fritz gave us much more than we could ever give him. We tried to sustain his
fragile body through Cushings Disease and old age. Our efforts however failed when God finally took him home on 3/9/04. We never really knew how old he was but believe he lived a full life at our guess of 20years. Oh how we will miss him. Our home is so silent without the comical barking and tiny little voice. He loved to lick your hand and face; a greeting we sorely miss. To you Fritz, our goodbye, you gave us the best gift a dog can give to his companion; and that's the lesson, that life is short, and we must always choose love and laughter over tears, anger or sorrow. My angel, rest in peace, you are in God's hands now.

Debbie McGowan

Dear friends are difficult to come by be they human or little people with 4 feet and a tail. Fritzy and I never met in real life, only through the internet and for that I consider myself blessed. I wish you the best on your journey Fritzy Boy and I will remain here and comfort your friend Marcie. I hope I can be as good a friend to her as you where while you were here. Bless you always.

Andrew Steen

you were my best friend for 17 years. You shared my joy, sorrow and pain. We shared a lifetime together. I will miss you with all my heart. You were the love of my life. I hope you are now at rest and free of all of your pain I did not want to let you go but your pleading eyes told me it was time. rest well faithful friend until we meet again.

Teresa Doppelheuer

My boy, Frosty cat, it broke my heart when you passed over. I missed you and had a pain in my heart for so long it helped me to bury you in our garden, and to build you a small tribute area. I know now that you went to be with your sister, Kringle, who died Nov 16,02. She was such a gentle little cat and you were always the protector.
Your feline family missed you months afterwards but I think they understood better than I at the time. Angel misses you and we all look fwd to seeing you & Kringle one day in the future. Love your family xoxo

My very special friend for so many years. My heart is breaking over and over. You stood by me through thick and thin and always knew when I was sad. You were a true second Mum to Reuben for his first five years and our home feels so empty tonight without you. Godspeed.

Michelle Saacks

My dear Fuco, you have only just left us. You have taught me more than I can say and given us more love than imaginable. I never met any creature with as much dignity as you, my boy. We love you forever....Mom and Dad.

FUDDLY.....as unique a cat as your name....and my first cat no less! Raised with a puppy, you just never quite got "that BEING a cat thing" down correct. You traveled more than the best show cats that first year....being spoiled in Holiday Inns while Daddy worked; learning that "the voice from the plastic clown face meant FOOD was at the next window" with drive-thrus; adapting to using a litter box in the back end of a Firebird traveling 80 MPH down I-71 or across the Ohio Turnpike; and YOU are the one that brought Bandit~Buddy home one day and asked "if you could KEEP him?"....and I "let you." Be watching at the bridge my friend....Bandit left to come join you in waiting for me last night.....and we WILL all be together again someday! I love you!

Ken Dayton

Oh my Funky cole madine, I can't believe you are gone. You started out your life so good,you were such a beautiful kitty and we already had a home for you. We took you to the Vet to be spayed and then had to bring you back home because the people weren't ready to take you. That night you bit into a lamp cord and electriced yourself. Your mouth, tongue, and your nervous system were effected and of course you never walked right. You always walked with a big swing in your back legs and sometimes you walked liked a drunk. You were so very sweet and comical that I not surprised God took you home as he must of needed a comdeian in heaven. We loved you to pieces Madina and we are all going to miss you terrible. You were so very special to everybody in this family. I found you laying on the lawn last night and I am sure you had a heart attack. I looked up at the sky and thought my dear little Cole Madine has gone to be with God. God bless your beautiful sweet little face, there will never be another one like you. You are with your Mother now as she went last year. Please enjoy all of your family up there. I know it is so peaceful and now your body is healed and you can walked like a normal kitty. We love funky Cole Madina (Carma gave you that name) God bless you and he will take care of you until we see you again all well and Funky!! Love you to pieces, Mom

April 17th, 2002 you walked into our lives. We found you outside, or maybe you found us, and came running up to us. You were hungry, thirsty, frail. How anyone could dump you we will never understand.

You have been with us since we started our lives together. You are our child, our son, our baby boy. It broke our hearts to help you cross into Heaven, but the time had come. Even then, at the very end, you purred for us, trying to comfort us.

You have given us so many smiles and laughs in the 2 years and 1 month that you were with us. You always attacked the teddy bear, you dragged it through the house with you, and sometimes you would fall on your side or back because teddy was trying to win, but you always won.

You loved to play hide and seek with Mommy, we would sprint through the house, hiding on one side of whatever piece of furniture was around, then jumping out at each other, and then the game would repeat. You loved Daddy's special loving, how he would hold you in the black chair like a baby, and you would purr and rub your paws along his cheek. If he tried to talk while doing this, you would put your paw over his lips to quiet him. He loved those moments with you just as much as you did. You always greeted us at the door when we came home, you always greeted everyone at the door who came to visit.

You always were the household security, checking out everything, and keeping an eye on the neighborhood. You always knocked over the little trash cans in rooms to rustle through the papers. We were always safe with you around. Your kisses melted our hearts. You had such a scrunched in nose that to kiss us you would get so very close your whiskers would tickle our cheeks. You gave us so many kisses, and we always smiled such big smiles whenever we would get one. You loved to lay on the blanket curled up with us in front of the fireplace, watching the flames. You loved to sit outside on the back patio with us. You never left the concrete, you were happy just rolling on the concrete in the sunshine. You always wanted to be near us, whatever room we were in was the room you would be in. You were so very beautiful, you had golden fur that shone in the sunlight, lovely golden eyes, and the little pink tongue that you would poke out at us.

Your soul was the purest, sweetest, most innocent we have ever been blessed enough to be near. You always loved talking to Mommy, we would meow back and forth at each other for long periods of time. It drove Daddy nuts, because if he tried to talk with you, you looked at him like he was crazy. Only Daddy could scratch your back right, you would always start licking and purring for him. You were such a great alarm clock for us, we were not allowed to hit the snooze button more than once. You would walk all over our heads, meow, and paw at us to get up. You always loved for Mommy to scratch your nose, you would squint your eyes and purr. Daddy never could scratch your nose right.

We are so very thankful that you were feeling good right up until your last few hours on this Earth, when the stroke and blood clot took hold. You gave us both extra love on your last day, we think you heard God calling you Home. We helped you to pass without pain, staying with you until the very end, and you purred for us as you left this world. Even then, you were trying to comfort us.

Our sweet, precious Furball...we love you so very much. We miss you. We will love you forever and ever. We know you are in Heaven now, and we know that we will see you again when it is our time to leave this Earth. Until then, Furry, Mommy and Daddy love you.

We Love You,

Mommy & Daddy

Always in my heart

My rabbit Fuzzy was my best friend. He was a very special bunny indeed. He dealt with a lot of illness and problems in his short life but was a very friendly bunny. I miss him terribly but know he is in my heart. I write this a year to the day I lost him. Love you more than lots Fuz.

Fuzzy wasn't a guinea pig, but a little tail-less squirrel with huge personality. He was so unusual and he has been one of our saddest losses, so sudden and at such a bad time. We miss the way he put cucumber into his mouth and threw it from side to side. He was Striders best friend and will never be forgotten.

My little Gyp, my Precious Angel, forever in my heart.
Until we meet again, my little Dancer, I'll love you always.
