Cathy

Yana,
We hope that when you come to the Bridge your spirit will find fields of tall grass to run in, piles of stinky goo to roll in, and plenty of cozy corners to lay in.
Most of all we hope you find peace.
You were loved very much.

Chris, Karen, Anna and Marley.

Yana has been part of our family for over 16 years. We will always miss her deeply. Her personality, intelligence and beauty made her the perfect companion. We will always remember the fun times, the cute things she did and her devotion.

We picture her now in a quiet meadow with other puppies, able to run and play as she did many years ago.

Cliff Mack and Kris Ernst

In memory of Yang, who was the beloved son of my dear friends Bill, Dolores, and Mom.

Joanne

I loved my baby.. Yankee!! He will always remain my number one dog in my heart!!

Love, Licks & Lots of Kisses

Grammy, Papa, Mommy, SiSi, Nanny, MiMiLa, Great Papa, Cali,Boo & Butter and all of your friends!

Yantzee was my first dog on my own since I moved away for college. I saw her at 4 weeks and it was love at first site she actually picked me. She had become my best friend and we traveled all over the world together and had many fun, sad, and exciting times together. I swear I think she knew me better than I knew myself sometimes. To make a long story sjort she was diagnosed with malignant melnoma cnacer in her mouth in July of 2006 and the doctors gave her 3 months but I knew that they were so wrong about the timing. I took her to a wonderful homeopathic doctor and many other holstic doctors and with some great immune boosting products I had her around for another whole healthy year. So was such a strong dog and never showed an ounce of discomfort. Finally, the dicease caught up with us and for the last 3 weeks in July she tumors in her mouth became out of control to the point she could not breath at times and it was very scary to watch her go through a breathing attack. So I knew then it was time so on August 3, 2007 I put my little girl and best friend down. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. Luckily, I got to do it at my homeopathic doctors house wher she was the most comfortable and after we gave her the shot I got to hold her for as long I as needed so I did. I held her in my arms for 2 hours it was so hard to leave her but finally I pulled it together. So here I am writing you this story and wanting her to be remembered throught his site. THis is to my girl You will always be missed, never forgotten, and forever loved, my angel of life, Yantzee.

Mary Betancourt

Yardleigh, you saved my life.
I wish you were here, shoving your toys onto my lap for me the throw.
I miss your cute little snore.
I slept holding your blanket tight last night.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You really were my best friend.
Like you've done before, I need you here to lick away my tears.

Katie Costanzo

I will miss you and treasure our special time together

Are Baby Boy

Debbie & Kevin King

Yavapai was a sweet, loving cat who was adopted by my dad 17 years ago.
When he passed away 3 years ago, I became her guardian.
I promised my dad to do all I could for her. She struggled with diabetes, hyper-thyroid problems, torn ligament in a hind leg, loss of most of her teeth, and a few other maladies.
She never complained and was a perfect companion.
In the end, my only question was what was best for her.
I love you, Yavapai.

Barbara Pitcock

Yayu was a good friend, great companion, and one of the most effective feline alarm clocks that has entered my life. She left three kittens with me, and I'd like her to know that Cricket, Aqua, and Ursa are healthy and doing very VERY well. However, they haven't gotten the hang of meowing loudly at exactly 6 am to wake me up for their feeding time yet.
All four of us miss you.

Geraldine Kay Gomez

My dear friend and hunting partner. All tho certainly in pain you never quit and always wanted to please. You were there for me when i needed someone and would gently nuzzle me as i cried, always knowing when something was wrong and finding a way to cheer me. Thanks for always being there in my life. Love ya yeller belle, now go find kaelah rose and hunt em up girl.

Jack Blaedorn

Rest in Peace Yeller. You were a great dog, and you will always be missed. Take care at the Rainbow Bridge and make sure you take care of Leo. I love you Yeller.

Sayonara

My baby. I wish I could have protected you from all those mean people who hurt you before I found you. You are my soulmate forever and ever. I cannot believe you got sick so young. I cannot believe 2 soul mates could be split up so soon. I am sorry I was too sick to realize your time was almost up, if I knew I would have given you more treats, baby, I swear. I am sorry I had to work. Thank you for being my first pet ever, and for setting the bar so high. Thank you for letting me protect you. Thank you for choosing me that day we met. That was such a great day, wasn't it? I knew as soon as I saw you that we were soul mates. You knew it too, didn't you? I knew Id do anything to be with you and make you my baby. I'm sorry I didn't take you for more walks and I'm sorry your dad and I argued so much in front of you. I'm sorry you got scared so much. You will always be my best friend, you and your brother Willie. Please take care of him now. Please show him around doggie heaven. Please forgive mommy and remember me always. I will remember you always. Maybe one day we will be together again, a very long time from now. If you can, send me a signs that you and Willie are okay and thinking of me. LOVE LOVE LOVE you so much.

Bonnie Monaghan

Adrian,

Thank you for being a wonderful friend to all of us. We love you and will always remember you as a family member.

Run free & without pain....

Love, your family

Put your heart on my heart, Yoda....

Joanne Hollan

Yoda, you will always be in my arms.

Fred Jandt

Yoda you are my sweet little baby.
I only wish I had known sooner how bad you were suffering.
You were such a good little girl.
I will miss you so much.
I know we were lucky to have you for as long as we did.
I love you.

April Ristau

Yoda was a street dog who just wanted to be loved.
She made everyone who knew her smile and was quick to warm up to strangers or new dogs.
Over the past few years she suffered with Canine Cognitive Disorder, but she never gave up.
She gave so much and will be missed by all who knew her.

Colleen Nolan & Pamela Varney

He was my office buddy.
My favorite photo is of Yoda resting his chin on my left hand as I was trying to type the minutes of a meeting on the laptop.

Rosemary Dunn

Yoda wasn't a dog at all, he was an angel. He was smarter, calmer and more spiritual than any man, woman or animal that I've ever known. He didn't have a mean bone in his body and I truly loved him. He made me feel more important and loved than I ever did in my life and I will miss him so much. I called him my "angel with gossamer wings" and I meant it. Yoda, I hope that you are happy and healthy because no one deserves it more than you. I love you, and I want so badly to see you again someday when my time comes. God bless you Yoda. I wish you freedom and happiness for the rest of eternity. Thank you, baby.

Diane

On April 24, 2007 at 6:15 pm we lost our precious Yoda.
She was our child, she was an angel, she never torn up anything, never growled, was always loving, she did not have a mean bone in her body. Yoda was just a wonderl friend, a wonderful daughter!
She waited until my husband got home from work and as we were eating supper she laid down beside us and begin to pass we held her until her last breath.
I recently found out that the food we had been feeding her was put on the
recall list May 2, 2007.
We killed our beautiful angel.
Yoda I am so sorry, we loved you so much much and the pain in our hearts are still present and will never go away.
I will do as you have asked, I will fight for better food so no more loved ones will lose their life like you did. Boomer, Abby, Zoye, Hanna and Gypsy miss you very much.
Your Dad and I vist you under the big Oak tree daily.
We love you and we will meet again one day.
Mom and Dad

Yoda

Rest in Peace, sweet Yoda. You were so gentle and full of hope.
Your life was too short.
You will be missed and will always be loved and remembered.

Susan, Mary, Gail and HH

To Yoda, a great pet, pal and companion that will never be forgotten and will always have a special place in our hearts forever.
May you enjoy your after life and look for us at the rainbow bridge.

T K

Forever in our hearts.

Otis and Betty Allen

Yoda you were the best kitty, we had a wonderful 14 years together, hope you are rubbing on Daddy's face again.

Karin, Russell, Victor and Trinity Julin

Yoda was by my side for over 17 wonderful years. He brought so much joy and fun to my life, and taught me about unconditional love. Just looking at him made my heart melt. Words cannot describe the sadness and sorrow in my heart. I will forever miss my baby.

Melody

Put your heart on my heart, Yoda....

Joanne Hollan

My best friend i'll miss you always .

Diane Lawrence

He was the best babybear in the world. He made my life better and was my loyal companion for almost seven years. My neighbor poisoned him with antifreeze. Even the vet cried while i talked about my baby after she had put him down.He died while we were looking into eachothers eyes. I cant breathe without my boy and the world feels so much darker now

Jillian

Yogi was unique & special, even though we only had him for a short time. He suffered for a little while as death drew near from illness. He will always be remembered in our hearts, thoughts and never forgotten. My little angel is at peace now flying over the rainbow bridge....Until we meet again...love you Yogi!

Kevin

We had two cats named Yogi and Montana which where litter brothers. Montana was Mr. Personality and Yogi was Yogi.
This past week we lost both of them to non-curable illness.
Yogi had been dealing with his illness since December of last year.
Montana had been dealing with his illness since June of this year.

Tuesday Montana took a turn for the worse late in the day. Yogi came and laid next to him and kept touching him with his paw from time to time. We could see the anxiety in Yogi’s eyes and his breathing sensing something was very wrong with Montana.
About 7:30 that evening Montana crossed over the Rainbow Bridge with Yogi by his side.

That night my daughter and I took Montana to our vet, as we wanted him to be cremated. While there we explained to her Yogi’s condition. She said, since they where litter brothers they had a very strong bond between them.

In the morning when I awoke I found Yogi in search of Montana laying next to our door the same place Montana used to lay every night.
I carried Yogi to the basement as it seemed he did not want to go down. I fed him and gave him his medicine, but he did not eat and went and laid down. I checked on him prior leaving for work and he was still having difficulty breathing.
When I arrived at work there was a message for me to call home.

When I called my wife informed me Yogi had crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

We can only assume Yogi figured if he waited any longer he would never catch up to Montana on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Now they will be cremated together and forever be together on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Amazing the love animals can have for each other.

We miss you guys terribly already.

Yogie:
It's hard to believe that 4 years have now passed since you left your dad and I.
I always look at your picture and say the special prayer I have next to your picture.
I love you and miss you so much.
I know your still watching over your dad and I and "giving" Houston special instructions.
Just a simple reminder to say I love you, miss you and you are still and always will be my "angel in fur", number one forever.
I hope your doing good with your other furry friends.
Hugs and Kisses.....Diane

In memory of our precious little girl who brought so much joy and laughter to us.
We miss you terribly.

This tribute is to my dog, Yoshi, who was very sick with physical pain.
So I bought him a ticket to ride the Rainbow Bridge where he could meet his life-long friend, Francois, the cat who died at age 17 four mo's. ago.
I told him to wait for me on the other side...I don't know how long it will take, but I know he will be there. The house is flooded with his absence.

We will all meet again & Im glad papa was there to meet you.

You will always be in our thoughts and prayers sweety!!!
Gone yes, but NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN.
God Bless you Lil' Buddy as he now has a great friend to keep him company as we did all those years.

Yoyo,
You are the sweetest, gentlest, kindest and most loving dog in the world. Thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness to my life. I hope we brought you as much happiness as you did to us. I miss you so terribly now. Be safe and go in peace. I love you forever and some day we'll meet again.

Evelyn Tan

Yukon was not only the best dog a family could hope for, she was our best friend.
We got Yukon when she was just 3 months old and it was love at first sight.
She grew up to be a loving dog and was especially good with our son Jake and his many friends.
Yukon touched our hearts to the very core and we will love and remember her forever. I hope she is in heaven, playing football and running, pain free and happy.
We love you puppy!

Wesley, Peggy & Jacob

You were the light of our life for far too short a time.
We are thankful that you have returned to be with us, in spirit if not in body.
We hope you enjoy your view of the mountains and the cows that were your one big curiosity.
We love and miss your dearly but know we will see you again at Rainbow Bridge.
Hugs and Kisses baby.

Dave, Pam & Brenton Snyder

We love you and will miss you Yukon....see you at the Rainbow Bridge....Dave, Katey, Tommy, Joey, Emily, and Jesse.

Yukon you are a joy in our lives and you left us too soon. We won't forget all the wonderful times that we shared with you. Jenna misses her playmate and pal! You are mommy's special boy and I will miss you so much. Love--Mommy

Our Alakskan Malamute Yukon was a wonderful dog as a hiking companion, friendly face and faithful friend.
It has been only a couple hours since our vet put him down.
Yukon was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his front foot in late June, 2006.
Since that time, our vets amputated his leg and he underwent 4 chemo sessions ending in October 2006.
During the past holiday week or 2, his cancer returned and his health deteriorated.
We had many great times together!!!
Yukon climbed to the top of many mountains including Mt. St. Helens, Middle Sister, Mount Buckhorn, and numerous peaks in the Cascades of the Pacific Northwest.
Yukon lived nearly 7.5 years old.
We miss him greatly, especially his friendly howl, but dearly appreciate the time we had together.
Hopefully, we'll see each other again.

Mark

In loving memory of a gentle soul taken to soon. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Good Bye Yum Yum.

Chantal

My dear little girl, YumYum, or Yummy or Punkin - you were all of these and more to me.
You were with me through all the difficult times and with me when times were good, but you were always there.
You were the best little girl a Mommy ever wanted, diligently going to Grandma's every day for doggie day care, patiently waiting for me to return from work.
No matter how you felt or if you couldn't see, you always acknowledged me and did things for me that you would do for no one else.
You were my little trooper who kept on until the very end when your little body couldn't take any more.
I miss you so very much - the patter of your little feet on the linoleum, nestling next to me at night, constant companion in the car and sharing meals together.
Stay now with Daddy and Grandpa until we meet again, my little one.
You are the best!
Mommy loves you.

Yummy, better known to us as Yummers came to live with us 4 years ago.
She was going to be put to sleep and we were asked if we would take her. We have a log house in the country and it was a perfect spot for Yum.
She was a Beautiful black chow who loved to lounge in the shade and her favorite pile of leaves.
She protected and watched over us and adopted our little Shih Tzu, Frankie when he found his way to our home too.
She is the best pet I've ever had and will miss her dreaming by by bed at night, running out to meet me when I get home, barking at the deer down in the field and chasing the ground hogs.
As proud as she was, we'd even catch her playing with Frankie when she thought we weren't looking :)
We love you very much Yum and will miss you terribly.
You are in a better place now and don't feel the pain anymore.
It was the hardest decision I ever had to make, but I know in my heart that it was the right thing.
I will never forget the look in your eyes as I held you while you went to sleep.
Frankie isn't sure what is going on yet.
He keeps looking for you and pouting.
He lays in your bed as he did while you were sick. You were dearly loved and the best friend we and Frankie could ever have. The tears will stop some day, but we will never forget you.
Love Mom, Dad and Frankie.

My Yummy, what a cat.
She was 7 years old when she was diagnosed with renal failure.
One week later a day after Christmas, she totally lost balancing functions and I had to rush to have her put to sleep. She was on the verge of dying and I didn't want her to suffer.
I cried for months every night.
She was so smart, always a step ahead of me, always doing things to get my attention.
She would purr/meow at the same time and it sounded like "Mama" when it came out.
She would stand up for treats.
She was very special and one of a kind.
Even three years later, I sometimes still cry.
I loved her, and as far as she was concerned, I belonged to her, and her only.
I MISS YOU, YUMMY.

Yuxia (You-shah) is a Chinese word meaning, roughly, "scholarly traveler".
Our Yuxia was both.
Rescued as a small puppy, she behaved as a well-trained adult from the start.
Faced with anyone who claimed to be "not an animal person", her gentle tenacity never failed to convert.
We didn't realize she was sick until it was too late to help her, such was her quiet perseverence and strength.
I failed her, but she never failed me.
I hope she now has found the spectacular heaven she deserves.
