Year 2010 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "C".

We had such a long run of it together. I'll never forget the first day I saw you or the last. My hope is that someday when I cross over you along with my other fur babies will be there to greet me. I love you as I always have and I will forever remember your sweet face. I'll see you soon Brad. Love ya, Mamma

My Cain was my best friend. I have loved him dearly and always will. He was an elegant gentleman. To look at him, was to know joy. He was gentle and so so sweet. I will miss him forever.

My Precious

Daddy cannot tell you how much he misses you or how bad losing you hurt because he is not capable of such an explanation. I love you precious and will never stop. I will never forget the wonderful love you gave and the joy we had together. I will always remember the fun times. You meeting me at the door when I came home from work. The way you always put your pretty little head in the refrigerator when I opened the door. All of these memories and so much more will keep my heart filled with love for you until I can join you at the Rainbow Bridge. Daddy will always love and cherish his Precious Candygirl.

Candygirl you were and always will be the forever/eternal love of my life. You are my world and I miss you so very much. Mommy misses everything we did together. We were always together. For right now we have to be together in spirit and then someday mommy will come to the Rainbow bridge and we will be together forever. I loved you since the first time I saw you. Mommy held you on the ride home from your birthplace and from that day forward we were forever bonded. The love you gave me (so unconditional) was more than mommy deserved. Mommy did love you unconditionally also. You know you could never do anything wrong in mommy's eyes. I miss all the time we spent together doing whatever it was you wanted to do, walks, playing ball, playing with toys, eating good things, going for rides. sleeping by my side and around my head when mommy was sick. You are the sweetest little girl that God ever created. I miss your kisses especially. Our love is so precious. I wanted you to see the ocean and fortunally we got to play in the sand by the ocean 4 different times and the last time you really surpried mommy and started swimming in the ocean by yourself. I truely hope that was as much fun for you as it was for mommy. Ever second of every day I miss you. Mommy hopes you are healthy and happy and will wait for mommy by the Rainbow bridge so that we can walk into eternity together. Be careful eating those Better than Eyes that I hear you are eating. As my last words told you I love you more than the world and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. My life was whole when you were with me, you made my life whole. I just want to hold you and be with you and suggle with you again. Pleasse look forward to our tomorrow because that is what Mommy is doing until we can be together again. My life is so empty without you. I look for you everwhere. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TERRIBLY. You are my gorgeous girl. Love Mommy Seal

Canolli came into our life as a stray. I had never had a cat before so I was a little hesitant but he was declawed and neutered and was out in the environment with no protection. We decided to take him home and see what would happen. Worst case senario, we would take him to a shelter in the morning. That was June 2004. We set him down on our living room floor and he took 3 steps and laid down like he had been here forever. Never got on the counters or tables and was the most lovable cat I had ever seen. He loved to be picked up and hugged and kissed. I know I can never find another cat like him. He was amazing. When we brought home a Basset Hound puppy he checked him out and then befriended him. They were best buds and played all the time.
My heart is broken and the tears stream down my face as I think about him as I loved him and he loved us back. I have an empty spot in my heart right now that Canolli took with him.
There will never be another Canolli. No one could replace him.

Canolli, I hope you hear Mommy. She loves you and knows you are not sick any more and that I will see you one day. Please wait and watch for me. I will love you forever and ever.

Captain Morgan:

Mommy misses you. I have never loved any furbaby as I loved you and I know I never will. You were the one special baby that I was lucky enough to have in my life. I will remember you and love you forever. I will so miss your meow. You were the only cat I know that could say "now" and "no"..."now" meant yes Mommy give me my piece of chicken now. And "no" of course meant no! I do not want that awful hairball remedy. 14yrs together was not enough, although there would never be enough time together. You had the most expressive face I ever saw. I knew when you were happy. I knew when you were angry. I knew when you were sick. And I knew when you were dying. I will miss those beautiful green emerald eyes that were so bright and full of life up until your last couple of weeks. I truely hope there is a rainbow bridge and I will see you there. Good bye my sweet baby boy.

Mommy

       ODE TO CARONA

On July 13, 1990…a queen was born.
No, not of royalty, nor even of porn (thank God!)
I can remember the very first time
That I laid eyes on her, and chimed
"Where in the world did that thing come from?"
As this old dad asked his teen aged son, Brad
Who brought her here from 10th Street in Vinton.
Oh, she was such a cute little kitten!

Little did I know she would be such fun
Or, steal our hearts from that day on.
To live with us to bring us love and cheer.
Yes, love that she so unconditionally gave while she was here.

She was the queen of the house….so watch out mouse!
Yes, she ruled the roost, and gave us all such a boost
To our lives, and to our family gatherings
Oh, mere words can only give a smathering
As to the beautiful glow that she bestowed
To anyone that laid eyes upon her, you know
With her Calico coat and her beautiful colors
I don't know of an equal by any other.
To Joanne and I she would be willing to kiss
But to everyone else she would only hiss!
She didn't want anyone else in her territory, you see
She became mellow, however, after her illness in 08 January

As I pen these lines, I mourn so much
I long for her sweet little meow and her tender touch
You see, her fur was so soft to our lips as we gave her a kiss
To be able to do it again would be such bliss.

Even though she was not a queen of royalty
God knows she was #1 with her loyalty.
As every time we would sit down, she would find our lap.
It was so hard for either of us to nap.
I will miss those lazy Sunday Afternoons with her aboard.
A queen like her could not be ignored.

She deserves the very best lap the other side of Heaven's gate.
If when I get there, I might become irate
For if I do not find her waiting for me there.
I would have to tell Jesus "this just isn't fair!"
You see, to me it is creations such as these
That deserve the very best God has, if you please.

I thank God for the almost 19 years
That He gave her to us, do you have ears?
Life is short and we must not forget
That if we live and do not love, how can we get
All the joy God had intended for us His children through pets.
He gave them to us to enjoy, you see.
Why He did is such a mystery, it has been one down through history.
I can only think it was to help us through life
Without them, we would suffer such strife

So pick up your pet and give it a kiss.
Without them you just might miss
One of the biggest blessings God has in store
We hope to see ours at Heaven's door.
So long, Carona, please don't forget mommy and daddy!
To see you at Heaven's gate will make us so very happy!

We love you!

Cary, you were the neighborhood mascot. Many, many people will be saddened by your passing. Will never forget people stopping to take pictures of you sleeping in the bird bath. Couldn't put water in it because you slept there! And not to mention how you guarded the yard. Were a heckuva "guard cat". We spent many, many nights on the front porch sitting there with each other. You really helped your daddy through some tough times, just being the little guy you were. Will never forget the first time I met you. Was told Cary never lets anybody touch him. You crawled up in my lap! We were best buds from that moment on. Every single day, when I came home from work, you would pop out of the bushes before I even got to the driveway. Always wondered how you knew it was me....but you did. Never came out for anybody else....stayed hidden.

I will miss you, my dear friend. So will your grandpa. He called about you every day when you became ill. I did everything I could to make you comfortable. A big piece of me left this morning when you had passed. And when that day comes that I see you at the bridge, I will be looking for the bushes, to see my little buddy come popping out. Love ya', bud. Til that time comes.....

Dad

Dear Casanova, you were named so since you were the most affectionate boy since I opened your cage at the pound. You were always loving, sweet natured handsome boy. You were abandoned in the winter with 20 of your brothers and sisters... most of whom did not make it. Your brother Romeo was adopted by a lovely family.... we got you to a wonderful furever home... I am so sad furever turned out to only be a few years before illness took you today. I am so sorry you ever had to feel any pain, and I hope that you always remember me and all I wanted for you.... till we meet again at the bridge, be well, beloved furriend.

OUR HEARTS STILL ACHE IN SADNESS AND SECRET TEARS STILL FLOW. WHAT IT MEANT TO LOSE YOU, NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW. YOU WERE SO MUCH A PART OF US WE NICKNAMED YOU VELCRO.

WITH ALL OUR LOVE

I still vividly remember the day I met you at the Hawaii Humane Society. For such a big, intimidating dog, you gently rested your head upon my lap and looked up at me with those big brown eyes; right there I instantly fell in love with you and your soft aura and knew that this dog was so special that she would leave an everlasting impact not only on my life but to all who would have a chance to meet her. You have traveled the world, supporting my military career and you grieved as I left you behind while I deployment, and upon my returns, you welcomed me home with endless kisses, letting me know that even though we were apart, you never forgot me. As I sit on the other side of the world grieving of your loss, there are no words to express how sorry I am that I could not be there to reassure you that my love for you will be everlasting and that you will be moving on to help someone else in need of comforting and love. Your grandparents, who loved you like their own child, ensured me that they held you in their arms and smothered you with kisses and love from me, as you took your last breath in this world. Thank you for your love and loyalty and one day my dear Casey we will be reunited. You will forever be in my heart and forever missed.

Your Mom,
Michelle

Although we know that you are in a happy place playing with your other doggie friends, once again young and healthy, Mom and Daddy are missing you. Your were an exceptional fur baby in our eyes giving us unconditional love and making us laugh with the silly things you did. Until the day we meet again we will treasure the memories and the fun times we shared and the traveling we did together. It will be hard to eat a sandwich without saving the last bite for you, no matter how small it was, it made you happy. So long for now, dear Casey. Ray & Nancy

Casey my fur baby--You never left my side and I feel you still haven't. You were there with me during the hard times ,and the good times, always loving, alway protecting and never hurting.
I know we will see each other again and I can't wait to see that little heart stamped nose of yours.
I hope they let you chase the squirrels in pet heaven. It was all in the chase wasn't it boy?
My tears will fall inwardly and outwardly till then. Please have fun baby boy..I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU..

In memory of our beloved little Casey who will always be in our memory and heart.
We love you, baby and always will!
R.I.P.

For the short time my baby girl was in my life, she brought me so much joy and pleasure and smiles! I will never forget you Casper! I can't wait until the day I get to hold you again and tell you how sorry mommy is for not being able to protect you. My heart aches so much. I love you and miss you terribly.

My honey bun, your family will miss you more than you'll ever know. You brought so much joy and laughter into our lives. Somehow you always knew when we were sick or feeling down, and would try to comfort us by staying close. Although it was hard letting you go, it was even harder watching you endure pain as your disease progressed...just wish we had known sooner. We love you little bunny bun and will miss your playful hop as you frisked through the house. You held a special place in our hearts, one that we hold dear and will never forget. Rest in peace, our beloved Chance-a-roo.

Ms Chandi Choo,

The day we saw you at the pound with your tail a waggin we knew you were ours. We had to drive back home and get your new brother Arjuna just to make sure you would like each other and so we could adopt you. You bright and a white german sheperd and Arjuna a black and tan.

Oh what a joy you were to our home. You would pace back and forth each night until I was under the covers, lights out and only then would you lay by the bed knowing that I was headed to sleep and your job for the day was done. Every morning, 4 am promptly you were waiting for your daddy to get up, take you out and bring you back to bed to wait until I got up while he went to the gym.

I was so sad when the vet said you were sick. You had a bad form of cancer and like me, I was going through chemo, you were sick. We put you on meds but you ALWAYS looked out for me and would never leave my side. Oh how I loved knowing you were always at my side day and night. It didn't matter how sick I was from treatment because you were always by my side taking care of me, the human.

I knew there was some thing very wrong last week but you didn't complain nor did you ever stop taking care of me. Then when we went to see the vet on friday he gave me the bad news. He wanted to set you free on that day but I wouldn't let him. NO, I needed to spoil you one more time.

We made the appointment for yesterday. You see sweet girl, I had plans. Yes we went to McDonalds and that new york steak was cooked just the way you wanted and liked it and oh the treats just kept coming.

I didn't sleep at all on Sunday night because I knew what would happen yesterday. I knew that after we went to see the doc I would leave without you. I knew that I would have a big empty place in my heart for you were my choo choo my sweet Chandi Choo. I held you as you were set free. Your final kiss is one I will never forget. Oh how we all love you and for eternity we always will. Your german brother Arjuna now has no one to chase after, Kona your sister keeps looking for you and I your mama and Daniel your daddy are heart broken...

We know that you run freely, without pain and are in the great heaven above. We asked Crazy Bird, you never knew her but she was with us for 13 years before she went to the great place in the sky. Birdy was there waiting for you. To show you how it felt to be free from pain, to share the great treats above.

Yes our hearts ache for you. I kept waking up all night just to feel you by my side... but you weren't there. You are in a much better place and while we are so sad, our hearts broken, your bowl sitting empty, your brother and sister hunting for you, we know that you are happy and free and have met Ms Bird who I am sure is showing you all the great places to roam in the heavens above. God I MISS YOU!!!

The tears flow freely, some of sorrow and most of joy for the freedom that you now have.

Our home is empty without you. Arjuna and Kona keep trying to find you. You now sit on the mantle with Ms Bird. A constant reminder that you loved us. The candle will always burn bright for you as it has for Ms Bird these past four years.

We decided that there will be no more dogs to replace you. You were special, you were loved and the love you gave to us is never ending.....

Run free sweet girl. Play with the angels, and of course listen to Ms Bird for she knows all the great places to run and play in the kingdom of God.

Yes, mommy and daddy will miss you greatly but someday we will all be reunited and have all of eternity.

Chandi Choo, you were the best. Ms Choo Choo we LOVE YOU!

Dear Charlee

Please forgive Mommy for being so stupid and you died so tragially. Mommy had been so sad for a long time that I almost quited MHS. I hope you rested in PEACE. Mommy bless you forever and LOVE you forever. I hope to see you again one day and pamper you.

Mommy

We got you by mistake because you made yourself look smaller, but you were meant to be with us and share the Love of us and the rest of the Family

You were always pleased to see anyone, everyone's friend and a perfectly behaved boy

Thank you for sharing your time on this Earth with us Charley, it was a privilege and joy to know you and share the unconditional Love you gave us all

You'll always be in our hearts and those of many others

Peace be with you

All our Love  
Angie and John

Dear Charlie - You came to us an old man (15 years old) still full of life and love. You're smile was big and always brightened the room. Your bark of happiness always filled the house with joy. You always did a good job of keeping Lucky well behaved and as all the dogs of the house he will miss you. No matter the challenge your body gave, you met life with an activity level that exhausted the younger dogs - never missing an opertunity to chase a younger dog or go to the shed with your daddy. Meal time was always a favorite with you and you always appreciated whatever we fed and always thought you should get more. Dear, dear Charlie - you will be loved and missed forever.

Sandy and Michael

Charlie was my special baby, my sweet pea. He was Dad's "little buddy" who would lick Dad's hand until he got to sleepy. Charlie died of cancer on 11/2/10 and we are heartsick without him, even though we did everything we could and were with him through the last. I remember holding him and he resting his head against my chest. He was so sick, but he would do that even when he wasn't. Charlie, we love you and always will. You can never be replaced. Love, Mom, Dad, and Cosmo.

DEAR CHARLIE...  
I am deeply sadened by your loss. I brought you so far from the day I met you. You came to me after I put my 16 year old poodle down. We made a GREAT pair,you trusted me and started to become such a proud poddy boy. I loved watching you wag your tail with pride each time you went outside. I hope you enjoyed your birthday cupcake. I'm so lucky to have taken pictures of you before your accident. I'm so broken inside! WHY did you run into the road when daddy came to open the door? I was coming back in just a few minutes to snuggle with you. When I came out to the car to see you were gone and dad was looking for you,I was terrified. Having found you only moments after you got hit by a car, broke my heart in pieces,I wish I had gotten to you sooner! Your little body was warm and limp and your beautiful brown eyes open made me feel a little glimmer of hope. By the time I walked 2 blocks with you,you were gone. I miss you sweet boy! Loosing you on your birthday was the saddest!

Love,  
mommy

Everyone who met him loved him. Most his friends called him Charlie. He was a black and white domestic long hair cat. He had a white dot on his nose and a white heart on his right back leg. He was a most loving and giving kitty. His gift to us is when he would eye our shoulder to climb up for a hug. We would kiss the top of his head and he would head bump us in return as if he was returning the kiss. He was a smart cat and he had us trained very well. When it was time for dinner, Charlie could jump up to his food but he preferred me to pick him up and love him for a couple of minutes first or he wouldn't eat. Every time, I would tell him how handsome and lovable he is. I never met a cat who was so loving, all the time. I have 3 Labs and Charlie fit right in the pack. He learned dog language and eventually was sleeping with all of us. He spent every day in the office working with us too. Now, that Charlie is gone, our pack is missing a link. He will be missed for a long time. The world has lost a Master Being and gained an Angel. Rest in Peace Charlie, aka: Prince Charles, aka, Little Dot, Aka, Fur Butt, Aka: Charles Barkley, Aka: Charlie Barley, aka: Charles Barkitty. I miss you.

We all loved Charlie from the first time I saw her peek out of that box after she was brought home. She was so playfull and smart. We had another dog at the time who was dying of cancer but she taught Charlie everything she knew, even how to howl. Jagger was a hound dog and she taught Charlie a "Border Collie" how to howl. She never forgot that. She always howled when Momma came home, and when she was just happy. She didn't howl much toward the end. She was loosing her hearing and sight. Dementia was closing in and her rear legs were giving out. But she always managed to give you a kiss when you came home. She gave us unconditional love for 14 years. She could tell if we were Sad or hurt in any way. Sometimes she would stare just over my head, like she was liooking at some unseen presence. It gave me comfort. She had many names too. I called her puppa, stinky, smelly, turtlehead, furry, and many other names but she answered to all of them. We miss her everyday and I know we will see her again. We cried for her illnesses when she was here but now we are crying for us because we just miss her. Goodbye for now puppa. Until we meet again.

Charlie I miss yoou terribly much. You were my best friend for almost 13 years. You were mine and I was yours before I met my husband and had my kids. I will always remember picking you out of all the puppies or maybe it was you who picked me. I hope you know how much you were loved. I know you are not in pain any longer and that you are across that rainbow bridge playing frisbee to your heart's content. Keira misses you very much and she didn't even know you in your prime. What a duo you would have been. Everyone who met you loved you. Charlie my heart is broken without you. I know one day I will only have smiles when I think of you and all of the fun we had over the years. I'm smiling through my tears right now. Goodbye my Super Duper Chunky Pooper. Mommy loves you.

My beloved Charlie Dog, I miss you already. You were 4 years old when I rescued you from going to the pound. You started life in a puppy farm in Georgia, and got here via a pet store. Your feet were slightly deformed from being caged. So, you had a poor start in life, but you became my dear friend and companion through these last 6 years. You were big for a Shelty, about the size of a small collie, but you had all the personality of a small shelty. Everyone who met you fell in love with you. You were poisoned twice because you wouldn't leave the toads alone, I think that perhaps this weakened your heart, and you passed peacefully, after jumping and playing this morning. Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge and I will meet you there when it's my time to cross over. I loved you then, I love you now, and I'll love you at the bridge. I know you will make a welcome addition to God's kingdom. Rest now, then play with the others until I see you again. |Love, your Human Dad

R.I.P. Chancellor "Chase"

Chase came in to our lives at the young age of 6 weeks old. A beautiful brindle boxer. He was so gentle, loving, and loyal through the years. It was a blessing for my first baby to be the four legged furry kind. He welcome 3 "human" babies into our family with us over the years and did so with such love. He played with us, ran with us, traveled with us, and loved with us.

When the children would play outside he was never far away. Always watching over the babies with me. I tell you this because there is one particular time we were out on the playground, we live out in the woods you see, and he started barking uncontrollably right near my 3 year old son at the time. As I approached to see what all the fuss was about the copperhead snake struck at and bit Chase in the face. We almost lost our dear Chase that day but after lots of love and treatment he pulled through at the animal hospital. I credit Chase with saving my sons life that day. I also know given the same situation my dear Chase would do it all over again for his "brother".

The months and years passed with the best dog any family could ever ask for. He begin to slow down a bit and even turned gray in the face but kept right on loving and living with us. Then yesterday (10/05/10) Chase passed away. He gave all he could and then some to our family. Today my heart is filled with sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears as I long for one more touch. Ohhhh just to hear his tags jingle as moves about is a beautiful song I will miss forever more.

We love you buddy and will miss you always. You will never be forgotten. A lot of our lives most precious memories will always include you.

R.I.P. My sweet baby boy. Mama loves and misses you sweet Chase.

Just a week after your 4th birthday, good ole boy, you crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I just took for granted that you would live a full life. When I dropped you off at the vet that morning all I could say between sobs was, “It’s okay, buddy, they’ll take good care of you.” I’ll never forget the look in your eyes as they rolled you away on the stretcher. It was like you were trying to tell me, “Please, mom, come with me. Don’t leave me.” I wept because your seizures scared me so much, I knew something was wrong, but never once did I think that when I dropped you off there, that would be the last time I’d see you. If I had known that was the last time I’d see you…I’d have stayed by your side all day. I’m so sorry I didn’t get you in to Doc sooner. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there when you died.

You helped me get through so much in those 4 years. Daddy and I got married and within 2 years we had 2 baby boys. Like the gentle sweetie you were, you humbly “moved aside” to let the boys take their place in our family. My Cheetoh baby, you were still our firstborn. We loved you like you were our child. You had to give up a lot when they were born. I didn’t jog with you as much, I didn’t have a lot of time for fetch or roughhousing and I didn’t just sit with you and rub your neck and ears as much as I did before the kids came.

But you didn’t care. Like a true friend, you loved me no matter what. Even though I had so many responsibilities and chores, you weren’t letting go of me. You just came with me everywhere I went, never leaving my side and you’d listen as I talked with you about everything going on in our family and in the world. You’d sit by me as I worked in the garden and my flowerbeds, you’d follow me up and down each row of grass as I’d mow lawn, you’d get so excited if you saw us get the stroller ready - you knew we’d be walking to the river to take a plunge. Any chance you got to ride shotgun with me, you took it! You stinker…you always knew there’d be a Dairy Queen ice cream treat at the end of the car ride! I’d scold you when you’d drink all the water from the bird bath and every time that ice cream man drove down the street, you couldn’t help yourself…you just had to try to chase him! And at the end of the day, you rested in bed with me and most of the time we took up so much space that Daddy had to sleep on the couch!

The house is so empty without you, Cheetoh. Even with 2 wild little boys running around. We come home from work every day and long for you to coming running out of the house to greet us, but you don’t. We eat supper together every night and you’re spot under the table is empty and you’re not there to eat up all the leftovers from the boys’ highchairs and to watch for every scrap of food to fall from the table so you can snatch it up. You’re not there to sit and look at me with those big, pleading, brown eyes when we’re eating pizza and you’re just patiently waiting, saliva dripping from your jowls, begging for your piece. You’re not there to cuddle with on the couch in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep and you’re not there to look into my eyes and listen to me as I talk to you about all the worries in my life.

But there is one place you’ll stay forever. You’ll ALWAYS be in our hearts. Forever, my sweet “Cheetoh” “Cheetoh Bandito” “Cheddar Biscuits” “Big C” “Cheddos” “Toe”….you had so many names but when I think of you now I see the words BEST FRIEND. Until we meet again someday, buddy, we’ll be missing you. We’ll love you forever!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Mikey and Matty

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Chelsea, you will be forever in our hearts, we love and miss you terribly, life will never be the same without you, until we meet again. Love Mom, Dad, and Andy.

Our Dear Boy Chen Chen; Happy Birthday Today you would have been 13 years old. How wonderful it would have been to celebrate this birthday with you. Although you are not with us in the flesh any more, we feel you presence all the time. We remember how you loved to get presents and loved to rip the wrapping off to get your special toy inside. We think you liked opening your presents more than playing with them. Kobe has been wonderful to have around. While he will never be you, he has earned a very special place in our hearts as his own little man. Please watch over him and, through your spirit, provide him the guidance to continue to grow as he has become the wonderful little guy in our lives now. You are so missed and are so special. We will love you forever and you remain with us always. We know we will see you again at Rainbow Bridge. Until then, stay happy and play.

Happy Birthday,

Mommy and Daddy

My Boy,

Today is the two year anniversary of your bridgeday. While we remember you for the wonderful times we shared during your short 10 years on Earth, this day brings us both sadness and and joy. The sadness because we miss you so much; the joy because your pain and suffering ended. Kobe has filled the day to day hole left in our lives when you crossed over the bridge, but you have a special place in our hearts forever. You were our spirit, our identity, and gave us so much. We find comfort in seeing your watchful picture over our fireplace and hope you have found peace in the fields of Rainbow Bridge. We cherish the day we will united once again. We love you, Chen Chen, with all we that is within us. Please know you will never be forgotten.

Mommy and Daddy

You came to us misunderstood and deemed aggressive, but really you were just trying to protect yourself and your injured foot. I miss your "Woo Woo Woo Woo" bark at dinner time and times you greeted your daddy or wanted him to take you outside. You also did a great job of keeping all the toys put away under the ironing board. I know you were hiding them from the others, but it kept the floor clear. I miss you so very much that my heart hurts. You were such a beautiful boy!!!! I hope you enjoy your days at the bridge and are keeping watch over your daddy as I know how strongly you two were bonded.
Dear sweet "woo woo" we love you!!

Dear Chiu Jai

Please forgive Mommy. I am very very sorry for what you went through. I hope you rested in PEACE FOREVER. Mommy blesses you forever, and love you forever.

Mommy

My little Chloe face - how we miss you so much. You brought us so much joy and laughter. You had so many moments you did not even know that made us smile or laugh out loud. Your little face looking out the window, staring at the pantry door for a treat, pretending to go out to "do potty" and do nothing but ask for a treat, come running whenever you heard someone opening a bag in the kitchen. All those things and more will be embedded in our hearts forever. I still feel your little head in my hands when I said goodbye and all my tears falling on your little face. I am sure Grandpop was happy to see you in heaven and you are both having fun waiting for us to cross the Rainbow Bridge. See you on the other side Chloe - we will always love you. Donna, Mitch, Mitchell, Chelsea and Kristen.

We will forever miss you, Chloe. Thank you for the very short time that we were blessed to have you in our lives. Even though you were still just a baby, your sickness just could not be overcome. I am so very sorry that we could not rescue you from this disease. Please know that we did absolutely everything we could to save you. You were always such a sweet, lovable fur ball and our very good friend. I will always miss you sitting on my lap and purring and rolling over to invite me to rub your belly. I will miss you every time I pass by the balcony by the stairs, which was your favorite place to sit. The other cats will miss you, too, especially, your brother, Snickers, who was your very best friend and soul mate. Daddy, Taylor, Lauryn, and Parker will forever miss you as well. You will always be in all of our hearts. Now you are in the loving arms of Jesus and you are happy and at peace. We look forward to being with you again one day. God bless you always, Chloe. From the bottom of our hearts, we will always grieve for you and love you.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, Taylor, Lauryn, and Parker

We lost our beloved Cinnamon (CeCe) on Jan 7, 2010. She had fought liver disease for 10 years since someone poisoned her when she was a year old. She has always been a fighter and we always believed she would continue to win, each time a crisis occurred. This time was too much for our girl. She had the strongest spirit and was the happiest dog we have ever seen, clear upto her final days. CeCe loved everything and everyone. She leaves behind her canine sister Patches who misses her terribly. They would romp and fuss with each other but would defend 1 another to the end. Patches now has a very heavy heart. Cece loved to run and play and was always able to entertain herself if we were busy. She loved her daddy. They had a very special relationship that included their special moments; a kiss, a "butt" scratch or a good game of frisbee catching! Daddy, too has a broken heart. As for mom, CeCe was always there to share our quiet talks, and was with me thru some of my darkest moments. CeCe just had a way of knowing when mommy needed her most. I love her so much and will carry her in my heart forever. As someone shared with me recently, sometimes we are blessed with an animal who will be remembered as that "once in a lifetime dog", for all of us, Cinnamon was just that.
We know we must move forward but we will always remember our BIG RED as a special "sister", and a precious "baby".
Cece...be healthy and happy, keep an eye on Patches, help her to be strong, and save a special place for us till we ALL meet again, with treats in hand. WE LOVE YOU!
Daddy, Mommy and Patty

Clancy you were a goofy guyand gave us 12 yearsof love and fun.you had your peculear ways .Pots and pans wern't your favorite sounds and tile and hardwood floors would stop you in your tracks.You always had a lot to say especiall around the pool when the kids were in it. why you never jumped I'll never know.I'm glad I was able to take care of you when you recovered from the loss of you back leg from cancer. They gave you 3 to 6 months. But you went 3 years. We love you, you big chocolate goofy guy.Hope you meet up with felony and the cats at the Bridge.See you all some day Papa

On August 21st I found my dog of 11 years unable to walk and in great respiratory distress. A trip to the vet revealed that Clancy had congestive heart failure and a mass in her abdomen that was most likely cancer. I took her home briefly, brushed and petted her for a few hours, and then took her to her favorite park, where I fed her one last vanilla sundae from McDonalds, and scratched her head as we listened to a thunderstorm rage outside the car. With dread, I checked the clock every few minutes as her 5:15 appointment got closer.

Once we arrived at the vet I insisted upon being placed in a room immediately. She lay on the floor wrapped in her favorite blanket, and I continued to pet her and told her what a good friend she had been to me all these years. I know every pet owner feels that their animal is unforgettable, and in Clancy’s case this is the literal truth. I rescued her from a pound in 1998- she had been abandoned there at the age of 5 by a family who was moving from the area. She was so grateful that she never left my side. Whenever I left the house I would have to make sure that I closed all the windows, or else she would tear the screens and go looking for me. Once she realized she was locked in, she would raid the refrigerator. Ketchup was her favorite, although sometimes she would fix herself a breakfast of a couple raw eggs; once I found an empty container of butter hidden under an end table; unfortunately for her, she forgot to hide the lid, and she was busted. When I got home from wherever I was, I would soon hear the sound of her jumping off of my bed, and then her galloping feet as she ran towards me. I’d spend the next couple of minutes being slobbered to death, and then she would nudge her head towards the cabinets where I hid her treats.

She lived a good life. Even when she got old and less able to go hiking as much as she would have liked, it was still never hard for me to remember her flying through the woods chasing squirrels or rabbits. It’s no exaggeration for me to say that people with “real purebred hunting dogs” would look at her enviously, and tell me “that’s one hell of a dog you got there.” Every few minutes her head would pop out of a bush with twinkling eyes to make sure I was keeping up, and then she would go bounding back into the brush. The vet entered the room, and I stayed by Clancy's head, so I could stare into her eyes and massage her head as the vet made the preparations. Clancy's eyes focused on me, and I could see that all the fight was gone from her. I leaned in close to her nearly deaf ears and whispered "Well done, good girl; I never knew love like I knew it from you." The injections began, and within seconds her breathing slowed, and her mouth, previously clenched in pain, opened ever so slightly. Her tired tongue found my face, and her last gift to me was one of her patented Clancy kisses; the kind that sends the meek running for a wash basin with their dripping faces. "Start thinking of green meadows, Clancy," intoned the vet gently. "Yeah,one with plenty of fat rabbits and slow squirrels" I added. I continued gently rubbing the bridge of her nose. Her eyes never left mine. The vet checked for heart sounds. "She's gone," I was told. " I know," I replied.

After petting my best friend for a few more minutes, I knew it was time to go; eleven great years had just ended with one awful day. Clutching her collar, I walked out into a world that would hereafter be a little less fun, a little less joyful, and little less full of love for me.

The Pure and loving heart of little Clara will shine in the lovely world that is on the other side of Rainbow Bridge. She is truly a Rainbow Ridge angel and will find joy with all the other pets who have been loved on earth and need to pass on to another place where they are loved and happy once again.

Ciaran - Muddy Waters Prince Charm'n O'Birdhill I loved you from the minute you came home from your kennel - just a wee dear person. Being an Irish Water Spaniel you were a big goof but for a little over two years you were my goof.  
I miss you more than you can imagine.

Claude you came in our lives in your later years in life, but you still had a huge impact on us. You were always the kindest dog who behaved so well and were the kids "protector". We will miss you dearly, but I hope now you are free to move as you please. We will love you forever,
The Reese family

OUR BELOVED KITTEN CLOUD

Cloud was a stray 3 month old white with a speckle of black on his head kitten that we rescued from outside near our apartment. When we found him he had ringworm around his eye. Took him to the vet and got some medicine and he over came ringworm. Cloud loved to sit in the window and look at chipmunks in the tree in front. Also loved his bed and chasing a string with a ball and bell. One of his favorite foods was strawberry yogurt. Also loved to sniff grapes and apples. Cloud got sick on January 4, 2010 and developed a fever and anemia. Unfortunely his fever turned into a virus that had no cure. He stayed in his bed until his passing. Even though he was only with us for three months and 22 days he was much loved and part of our family and will be missed dearly always.

He was only 6 months old went he was taken from us.

September 23, 2009 – January 14, 2010

As a little puppy Clyde was a frisky ball of fur. His owners didn't want him to jump on furniture, but when I was there I'd let him do it. It was our little secret. He came to live with me as a big, goofy puppy who loved tummy rubs, clumsily jumped on the couch and bed, and broke windows and killed mice with his big goofy paws. He took me for walks down the street and through the field, and people would always stare. He was a beautiful dog.

He was my protector. He didn't like large groups of people or traffic or men or vets, but he loved me. When my husband Chris and I started dating I worried how Clyde would respond. He'd never liked any of my other boyfriends, and they never liked him. They were always scared of him just because he was a Rott. They judged him before they knew him. But Chris loved him, and he must have known that because he loved Chris, too. Chris took over the walking and the feeding and they became best friends. Chris nick-named him "Moose Dog" and he didn't seem to mind. We were a happy family.

Other dogs came and went in our lives and Clyde never seemed to mind sharing his home or his owners. He tolerated the yappy dog that lived with us for eight months and even let her sleep curled up next to him. He allowed Bonnie to herd him around the yard and down the street on our walks without complaint. And Choppy's constant playing and jumping didn't seem to phase him at all. He was so good at sharing.

He never liked dog parks and preferred instead to walk with us, side by side or out in front, smelling every mailbox and tree, and when it was hot lying in the water for a rest.

His life wasn't easy always being judged by his size and breed. People didn't understand that he was more scared of them then they were of him. Even some of his vets over the years approached him with dominance and fear which only made his anxiety worse. We are so lucky to have found a vet who respected him and took the time to get to know him and love him. I'm thankful that when it was time to say goodbye he was surrounded by those who really knew him and cared about him. He went to sleep peacefully surrounded by the love the four of us had for him as we petted, hugged, and kissed him one last time.

He was a loyal friend, a trustworthy companion, and the best dog baby in the world. Chris and I will miss you forever, Clyde. Enjoy the trees and the hills and the shade when it's hot and the sunshine when it's cold. We'll see you on the other side of the Bridge.

Clyde,
you were an amazing companion to me and my growing family. Always there when someone needed a kiss. Came in to this life with a short tail but a hugh heart. I hope I made your passing easy. We hope that you can find you beloved sister, Bonnie can can cuddle into eternity. I can not wait to see you again, healthy and in the sun where you always loved to be. We miss you, Jamie, Martin, Marra, Patrick, Murphy and Eddie

My best friend Clyde,
I can't believe it's been a year since I lost you. I still miss you every day. You were a great companion and a big part of me. I'll never forget the first time I saw you at the pound. You were barking along with the other dogs and when I said shhh you were the only one who stopped and you sat down politely and wagged your tail. You were always a great dog and never failed to make me smile. I miss hearing your voice and the way you stacked your toys in your mouth and carried them with you wherever you went. I loved coming home from a long day and seeing you in the door waiting for me, tail wagging with a mouthful of toys, you never failed to make me smile. I love you sir, I'll see you on the other side, and I'll be sure to have some of Stella's broasted chicken for you.

Dearest Coco.....I never got a chance to meet you...I only saw your picture as others did while they were trying to so hard to save you to show you that humans can really be kind. Not all Owners Will try to 'Train you" as they slowly choke you and then wonder why you cannot breath and can't walk right now. Most owners will love you play with you, keep you safe , mnake you part of the family. I am so sorry that you never had that chance. I will leave it Gods hands as to what happens to your ex-owner. For now...go find the rainbow bridge honey....there will a bunch of puppies, kittys, and other animals there for you to play with. If you get a chance to come back,,,please dont be afriad.....we will pray that God will find you someone extra special look for my furkids,,,Mushu, Mocha and Ku.,,,,,They may be kittys..,,but they will keep you safe. Maybe I will see you one day dear Coco......God bless you little one with abundant love...Haiku & Misto & Mushu & Mistos Mom - Shell

Our dear Coco, We can't believe it's been a year since you departed to go on a journey of a lifetime with your Creator. We rejoice on this day because you are in a better place with your health and soul renewed,a large playing field,new friends,shelter, and abundant food : ) Our house isn't the same anymore . We miss you greeting us when we come through the door or even before we get in the door. Your energy,kindness,warmth,protection,friendship are all missed,but most of all your unconditional love that you showed daily is sorely missed. I struggled with the fact that I didn't take care of you like I should have or the fact that I didn'nt notice the "signs" of illness in the days,weeks,or perhaps months before you passed away. You were a very stronghearted dog who didn't want your family to bear witness to any pain and or suffering you had,if any. I thank the almighty Lord for sparing us that emotional turmoil and taking you as if you were in a deep peaceful sleep. Our "Coco-la-Coco puffs", you are not physicaly here with us, but you are forever embedded in ours hearts. We miss the youngest member of our family, Coco Akisanya. You were literally my shadow,I miss that...till we meet again.

My dearest Cody, I hope you know how very much I love you. I want you to be at peace and to run and jump like you used to. May we one day meet again. I will forever hold you in my heart!!

My "Bad Dog" meant the world to me. She had such an attitude about her that I just loved! She made me laugh every day. She came into my life when I needed her most and was taken way too soon. Myself and "her brother", my shepherd mix, are missing her terribly. She was a great dog that is loved more than anything. I hope she is chasing rabbits and digging plenty of holes in heaven! I LOVE YOU CODY!!! I will remember and love you forever!!

CODY...My Loyal Guardian and Friend

Fifteen years ago, this little pup came bouncing into our lives,
a reckless, little pup with mocha fur and pale blue eyes.
He became my little shadow from the moment I'd get up,
and stayed by my side throughout his days, my loyal little pup.

His youth was full of mischief, then he matured and took his role
as friend and protective guardian, though small he was so bold.
One time he even raced 'to the rescue' and took a man by the seat of his pants,
- the man had grabbed a child in my care after jumping over the fence.

It was all truly innocent when the man had grabbed his son,
but it was the way he went about it that sent my young dog on the run.
My pup rushed in to protect a child whose Gran had left him in my care
and unknown to my valiant little dog, that man did not belong there.

Then there was another day that I never will forget,
when he thought that three visiting Rottweilers (to me) had posed a threat.
It happened so fast as he dashed out then stopped 10 feet short of the trio,
Oh the horror I felt as I yelled, 'NO!', (but he reacted as if I cheered, 'Cody GO!')

Yes, he dove into those great big dogs as the neighbors strained to hold them back,
for their big dogs had no choice but to defend against my little dog's attack.
Bless their hearts, those great big dogs, they could have killed him then,
but instead they bruised him up, but not a single cut - that day was not his end.

His loyalty is steadfast, and always forgiven me when I've been away,
His mournful howl I've heard on my return made me wish I could always stay.
But now its he who will leave soon, taking with him a piece of my heart,
How can I tell him how much he means to me, as he has right from the start?

He's always been here through thick and thin, through happy times and sad,
And staying very quiet & close when I was sick in bed.
Now its my turn to stay near quietly and offer all the comfort that I can give,
and reflect on all the happiness he's given us, and the memorable years he's lived.

I miss now seeing the bounce and spring thats no longer in his walk,
I miss how he'd get so excited when he could still hear me talk.
His hearing's barely there now and his vision has gone dim,
But his eyes tell me he's still 'here', as I cuddle next to him.

I talk to him softly, stroke his fur and give him all my praise,
for being the best dog in the world every single day.
I know the day I dread is coming and I try to hold back the tears,
at the thought of losing my dear, sweet dog, who's been with us all these years.

Now its my turn to be loyal, I won't abandon him,
I will stay by his side and comfort him until the very end.
He has been, after all, my loyal guardian and friend.

Cody, my beautiful husky boy with blue eyes that reflected your loving soul. My best friend, and side kick, how I love you. Your gentle way of smelling the flowers in the garden, and that song you would sing, woo,woo,woo. Thank you for choosing me to be part of your life, and to share all those times camping, and swimming in the lake. Car rides to pick you up after you escaped to tour the neighborhood. For patiently waiting for me to bundle up for a walk in the snow. How I miss you and will cherish you for eternity. May you run free across the rainbow bridge, and someday I will meet you there with my arms open wide.
My guardian angel, Cody rest in peace.

Colby kitty, how I miss you. I look for you when I come home because you always met me at the door. I miss hearing you talk to me in the morning before work, waking me up at night because you wanted a snack, and when you wanted to get under the covers because you were cold. It hasn't been that long since I had to let you go. I tried Colby, I really did. There was nothing more I could do to help you. Mom, Dad and I miss you so much. You were my guy, always there no matter what kind of mood I was in. Thank you for everything. I still love you and always will. I miss you 'punkin' I will see you again someday.

My Dear Cole,
You were taken away from our family way too soon! I know that you are missed by your brother Joe, Pirate and myself very very much. We also know that you are in a better place now that you are healthy and playing around waiting for us to join you. I long for the day that all of us can cross the bridge together and be together for all time.

My Dearest Beloved Lacie You will always be in my Heart.Never too be forgotten.............

Happy Anniversary, "Pookie". 12 years ago today we found each other. I'll never forget that day, you were such a silly guy!! I am blessed to have had you in my life.

It's been almost three years since you went to the "Rainbow Bridge', but you are with me every day.

You will always be my blessing, my reason to smile, and the son of my heart.

I love you, Cooter.

Till we meet at "Rainbow Bridge"

Love, Mommy xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

With broken hearts, we are missing you so very much, Copy. I will see you one day. Until then, I want you to stay and be happy with Henry. We miss so many things about you - your sweet little meows waking us up to feed you, your always wanting to snuggle with us, how you would go to the space in the room with sunlight to warm yourself. So many little things... You have been my best friend since the morning you were born under my bed on March 23rd, 1997 and I will never forget hearing that first little meow, surprised at your arrival, the only kitty in the litter. From day one you were a blessing and that will never ever change. Stay safe, Copy and wait for me. No matter how long it takes me to get to you, don't give up, I will be there. You will forever be my best friend and I'll carry you in my heart until then.

We love you so much,

Mommy, Daddy, Ivy, Mary, Brucey and Peter

Cream, my lil Creamy mimi. Mommy, Daddy & Mocha love you so very much and miss you everyday. We still can't believe that you're gone and would have given anything to go back time to see you and have you back with us again.  
I recall the day we saw you in the pet shop, i knew you were the right dog for our family when we needed you most.You came into our lives and made colors more vivid and the long days waiting to greet you worthwhile.  
The perfect companion, ever loving, trusting and affectionate. A good soul taken before your time before we wanted, but I know you are safe now beyond this crazy earth and dancing in the grass on rainbow bridge.

We'll take care of Mocha for you, it wont be the same without you here.

blessings are with you from more people than you can recall, missed dearly, loved by so many.

until we all meet again goodnight and play safe, Cream.

Cricket lived 19 wonderful years with her mom and dad (Jeanne and Dana) who loved her so very much. She had that special personality that just made everyone love her. Jeanne and Dana rescued Cricket from a shelter and gave her all their love and care. We lost our German Shepherd Calie 2 years ago and she was a neighbor to Cricket. I know that Calie and Cricket are playing together and we will all be united again when we cross that Rainbrow Bridge!

Cricket, our grande dame, has crossed over to begin her new journey. She died Monday, February 15, 2010 with her family in attendance. She is survived by her mom and dad, her son, Shadow, her sister, Baby, and her brothers, Houdini, Holmes and Watson.

Cricket, our little Ewok, started her life as a street urchin in Malden, MA when she found her mother going to work one day. With ears that wouldn’t quit she surely looked like someone who was not originally from this world. We lovingly called her our Bat Wing Hound Dog when asked what breed she was.

We had sixteen plus years of bliss with our little love. She blessed us with laughter and happy times, along with lots of kisses. We will meet again at the Bridge. Until then she is keeping company with all the family and friends that have crossed over.

Cricket, we love you and will carry your memory with us every day.

I remember the day you joined our family. You were the runt of the litter and definitely not the prettiest puppy available. However, you were so perky and cute and struggled so hard to dig and haul your 1 ½ pound body into my lap. YOU chose ME as YOUR pet and won my heart; you became my birthday present.

You rode home on my shoulder and the back of my neck. You continued to ride on my shoulder throughout our time together. I remember the first night you were home. You cried and sobbed, sounding just like a baby; thus your registered name, "Crybaby Mandy."

You were my constant and faithful companion. Each time I came home, you would rise on your hind legs to be lifted, whereupon you would throw your head back and cry and cry and sob. You would then continue to welcome me by rubbing your soft furry face on my cheeks, first one side and then the other.

Our favorite trick to perform for others was that upon the command of, "Say, 'I love you, Mommy,'" you would throw your head back and howl in your tiny little voice. Your bark was always funny, so tiny, with your mouth moving and nothing coming out. When a sound did appear, it was, "…abba…abba…abba." We always told people that your batteries had run down.

You were my furry baby, an essential part of our family. You spent hours floating with me on a raft in the pool and taking trips on our boat. When your leg was healed, I gave you physical therapy in the hot tub. We spent wonderful weekends at the lake house where your favorite activity was chasing the squirrels. In your latter years when stairs were difficult obstacles, we carried you up and down each time.

Thank you for the 17 years you shared your faithful love and companionship with our family, but especially with me as my little shadow. I have always told you and everyone else that you were the best gift that I have ever received. I love you and miss you.

Still yet a baby at the time of her death, Cutie left us way too soon. We recently purchased two female rats for our six year old daughter, who was allowed to name them and take care of them. Cutie, and her friend, Pumpkin, enjoyed receiving treats on a regular basis, and time climbing all over everyone. Faith took care of them well in life, and even took a lead in the mourning phase. She wanted to bury her, and took part in digging her final resting place, looking at her and petting her one final time, placing her in her grave, and even helping cover her in the earth she will soon become part of.

Although we will all miss Cutie, Faith continues to take care of our remaining rat, and will soon introduce her to a new cagemate!

Thank you to Cutie for the memories we have received in what was too short of a life.
