Lady Bug, 1998 - 1/12/2010 Camera Icon

Lady Bug was more than just a pet. She was a human like member of our family. Our house is empty and our hearts are heavy and broken. We love you always and forever Buggie and we will see you on the other side.
With eternal love,
Joe and Irene


Lakota, January 1, 2000 - October 29, 2010 Camera Icon

Our strong and handsome, LAKOTA, crossed the Rainbow Bridge in the arms of his loving Mike with his best friend Simone near-by. He was beloved and cherished by Mike, Anne, Simone, Daniel, Mary Beth and Diane. He will remain forever in our hearts.

Lakota was a true gentleman who carried himself with a lovely combination of dignity and lightheartedness.

He was velvety, cuddly and devoted to those that he loved. Those of us who had the privilege of loving Lakota were equally devoted.

May his great spirit run carefree through the prairies and wetlands of heaven until we meet again.

Lily Elizabeth, 01/18/95 - 07/23/08

TO OUR LILY ELIZABETH, THE PRECIOUS SHELTIE WHO LIVED AMONG US.

When this sweet Sheltie passed away
A part of me died that day
Her graceful nature touched us all
Even strangers passing by.
I hold her lovely face in my hands
And kiss the top of her head
I hug her close as she snuggles in
And wags her tail with joy.
Her sable coat is soft and dense
I stroke it endlessly
Her beautiful eyes look into mine
And can see how much she's loved.
Each step I take, she follows near
Not to be left behind
She's with me everywhere I go
No matter night or day.
The bond we share runs to deep
That it will never die.

I will love and miss you always,
Mama


Lady Schipsi-Bolling, August 7, 2010 Camera Icon

She was a magnificent Lhasa Apso who gave her family 17 years of happiness.


LadyBug, 10/30/2000 - 03/02/2010 Camera Icon

My beloved Boxer that gave me more joy than any guy I've ever known. I pray to be reunited with her someday. She made me laugh - now I cry because she is gone. I love her.


Langley Smith, 1996 - July 22, 2010 Camera Icon

Langley adopted us 10 years ago when I spotted him prancing down the street, a little boy of about 4. From that day, he remained our dear friend, loving companion and valued family member for more than a decade. He was always a source of joy, amusement and comfort through all of our major ups and downs. It's hard to imagine a future without him.

He was a toy poodle with a little body and a big personality and super smart. He had many neighborhood friends--dogs, cats and people and would walk up to any dog anytime and they showed him respect. He was not well the last few years but in his prime he was a great ballplayer. He loved to shop for toys and would pick his own toy and wait patiently in line at checkout with his toy in his mouth. He would sniff everybody that left the house to make sure they weren't stealing his toys. He was so unusual and everyone recognized it. He loved music. Especially 70s soul music. He would lay on the floor in front of the speaker to listen. He liked to dance too.
Because of his health he rode in a stroller for his walks but would get out to say hi to friends and mark his poles. Before him we weren't really interested in having pets but because of Lang, we rescued 4 other dogs and became involved in animal rights issues, particularly shutting down puppy mills. His brothers Toto and Sammy have also passed and he leaves Toby and his sister Bella behind to miss him.  
It's not possible to put into words the incredible loss and emptiness caused by Langley's passing, or what he gave to us. He left as bravely as he lived and he knew his time had come and his work was done. His vet said we were keeping him here for us, not for him, so it was time to go. His place on our bed is empty as is our hearts. We can only believe that he's chasing squirrels with his brothers, running and jumping, free of pain. We'll love him forever. Mommy & Daddy, Toby and Bella.


Latte, 5/1/98 - 8/15/2010

With all my love to Latte K. my beautiful and gentle girl. You were by far my favorite cat. Of all my cats, you had the loudest purr and the softest meow. You brought so much joy into my life. I wanted you to live forever, but only the memory of you will live on in my heart. I hope you knew how much I love you. Goodbye Latte, until we meet again. Your mom, Maribeth K.


LEAH, MOTHERS DAY 1963 - JUNE 19 2010 Camera Icon

"LEAH"

I know no words to tell you how much i miss you my darling Leah, but then you all ready know don't you!!  
Leah you were the the love of my life, my second shadow. You had a lot of challenges but faced them straight on and then carried on with that twinkle in your eye. We knew you were losing the battle with those seisures, but you were so brave and gallant. I can only hope I can leave this world with as much dignity. Have fun chasing those deer and catching the mice too. Your in my heart forever my sweet Leah  
Love MOM


Lennie, 10 years old - 08/28/2010 Camera Icon

Your Pets In Heaven by Ken D. Conover

To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.

I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.

Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.

We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.

Your Pets In Heaven


Levi, October 1, 1993 - June 11, 2010

Oh, my Levi.
Everything feels so empty without you.
Thank you for being part of our family, and for always watching over us. I knew you would be near me each night when I fell asleep, and that you would "talk" to me before you laid your head down.
You fought so hard. I know you were so tired.
I miss you so much, Levi.
No more doctors, no more pokes. No more feeling sick.
I know you are with Maggie now, and for that I am so grateful.
Be at rest, love.
We will meet again.
You could not be more loved, little one.
Mom


Levi Coté, 10/19/2000 - 8/16/2010 Camera Icon

Levi, my Beautiful Boy (Pomeranian). The love of my life. Lexi (our little girl Pomeranian) misses you too... I hope God takes good care of you my baby. I miss you so much my love.


Levi Johnson-Overbay, October 19, 2008 - July 30, 2010 Camera Icon

Levi was a beautiful light hearted Chihuahua that loved everyone and everything. His gorgeous blue eyes held so muchg emotion and melted the hearts of everyone he knew. He left us to soon and he will never be forgotten. He wasn't just a dog, he was our child and deserves to be remembered forever. We love you sweet sweet boy!!! We will see you at the rainbow bridge...where we can all cross over together!


Lexis, Zara, and Kramer Camera Icon

Last night, Zara left us through no disease or accident. It was old age that won it's battle, as it always does. She went peacefully, in her sleep, with no trouble to anyone, while napping on our bed.

As has happened before, I came here for comfort, where none would think me odd or belittle the life of a great friend. And I realize I never wrote a tribute to any of the three I've memorialized. I do this now.

Zara, you were the best of hounds. You did those things I was told your nature would never allow. You stuck by me through three moves, financial hardships, divorce, and the loss of other fur babies with whom you shared a home. You will never be forgotten, not by anyone who knew you, including one little girl who wants you to know she's sorry you were not invited to her pretend club.

Kramer, you left me long ago, but I can still see you in my mind's eye. You were a stray, and often a goof, but you had as much dignity and character as any of your kind. The infant you loved has grown to love your kind and is the sweeter for having encountered you.

Lexis. The first I can say was truly and completely mine. You taught me too much to detail, and tolerated my mistakes. Thank you for teaching me true attachment and commitment.

Each taught me much, gave me reasons to love and sacrifice, though I haven't yet reached their level of giving. I will keep trying to match the love and dedication the dogs have shown me is possible.


Lil Bear Boo Boo, 02/01/2008 - 12/03/2010 Camera Icon

Oh Lil Bear, I bottle fed you and your family and loved you most, so much that I couldn't just foster you, I had to adopt you too! I knew at that moment, at 2 weeks of age, you were "special". I am so sorry that the vet missed many opportunites to tell me you were ill. I am sorry that the vets afterward didn't help much either. I gave you my best and sustained you. As you sustained me. You were such a tiny tater tot, my little 4.5 lb. princess. Your life was too short, your love so deep and your presence everlasting. Because of you my life will never be the same and I await the day I will feel your soft fur, touch your sweet belly and hear your tiny trill in my ear once again. May that be sooner rather than later. May God make you whole and well again. May he take care of you until I can be with you once again. Your Meowmy loves you forever.

Lil' Beast Master aka Baby, 04/24/2008 - 06/14/10

you were the best pet that anyone could ever wish for. you loved us no matter if we pet you, kiss you or just walk with you outside. you are in a special place now with all the other angels. we forever hold you in our heart, everytime i feel sad, i look up and know that you are looking down on me and wispering "everything is going to be ok, mommy" we love you soooo much. hope theres lots and lots of treats and toys for you to play with, miss you always.


Lindy, January 1998 - January 4, 2010 Camera Icon

We will love you always sweet little Lindy. Things will never be the same without your joyful, happy presence. We are so happy you were part of our lives and family. You are so loved and will be forever in our hearts. What a special little girl you were and will always be.


Lisie, January 23 - June 20, 2010

To my wonderful, sweet and happy Lisie. I'll miss you forever. You left me so suddenly. I didn't have a chance to say goodbye but would I have if I could have? You were always by my side ready for kisses and love the same as you gave me. I have your ashes on the end table in the living room that you weren't allowed in. Now you can be there freely. I know that your soul is somewhere else that's a better place. I'm so sorry that I didn't walk you enough because of where we moved to and my depression. All the while you loved me unconditionally and stayed by me all day and night. You had just leArned the word cuddle and thAt was so cute. I'll always remember thAt with a little smile and so fondly. I loved cuddling with you and miss that terribly. I miss everything about you. I'm just gals that you went qui key and didn't suffer. I hope not even for one second. I really carried on when you left so quickly. No one reLy understood our special bond and no one ever will but you and me. That will be our special secret forever. If you can see me please don't be upset thAt I get a new furry friend. She was desperte for a home and Daddy reLy wanted me to have a friend not to replace you but to keep me company when he was at work. She's very cute but you were beutiful and no one will ever look like you. I wanted to give her a name starting with and L like you but decided against it. I hope you're at peace wherever you are and that one day we'll be together again. Keep a spot warm for me my sweet Lisie.
I can't upload a picture from my I pad sweetie so maybe I can get a pi true of you up at another time and maybe another place. I will keep your picture on my cell phone.tf
I'll love you forever and so will Daddy.

Hugs and tons of kisses,
Your mommy forever
Your Mommy for always


Lisie, January 23 - June 20, 2010 Camera Icon

Dearest Lisie,

It came so quickly. Daddy and I are still in shock. One minute you were fine and the next you were gone. I don't know how I'm going to make it without you. We had no clue there was anything wrong and you were only 8. Maybe it was because I didn't excercise you much. I was having so many problems myself and you were always right by my side. I've been laying on the bed in spots you were in just last night. I never want to change the sheets. I love you so very much and you left just like that. Daddy picked you up but you weren't breathing, your tongue was hanging out and your eyes were open. Beautiful Lisie. You just wanted to be loved and you loved everyone. Why so soon. I feel broken, weak and don't want to go on. Help me Lisie as you've done so many times before. I just want to wake up from this terrible nightmare. Daddy held you. I tried to see if you were breathing. You were never alone. We'll never stop loving or thinking about you. There's not a pet out there that can replace you and do all the cute and loving things you did. Please come back to us.

We love you forever,

Mommy and Daddy


Little Bit, 1996 - Thursday April 8th, 2010 Camera Icon

Little Lily Kitty, 3/8/97 - 4/24/2010 Camera Icon

Our Little Lily came to us through a shelter rescue Shelter From the Store nearly 5 years ago. She quickly became our loving friend & true companion! We love her very much & miss her more than words can say. She was so loving..so many kisses, head bumps & purrs. She loved to play with hair bungies, & would hop here & there, she slept by arm almost every night & would purr herself to sleep.  
Oh our Lily you left us too soon...her asthma was acute & she always needed the medication prednisone causing other health problems ... & so now she is gone!!! OH TOO SOON!!!  
The pain is tremendous you loved us so much Our Lily & we truly hope you know how much we loved you too. Til we meet again our sweet little siamese best furry friend!!

Our feline buddy from when she was 4 weeks til the end. Miss you too.


Little Man, 12 years ago - July 24, 2010 Camera Icon

    Hi Little Man. I'm sorry to see you go. I know you wanted to be by yourself when you left, but I wanted to be there for you when you finally fell asleep. I couldn't leave you alone with a strange doctor and nurse you didn't know. After all, that's something you would do for me. We have always protected each other throughout life.
    I will never forget how you were always there for me. Your love was truly unconditional. If I was mad at you there was never a grudge. You would happily give me kisses no matter who was at fault. You would always be there with a wagging tail when I got home. You were always sorry for the things you shouldn't have been sorry for. Like how you fought the one eyed boxer to protect your mommy and how you fought the raccoon to protect me.
    I am sorry for not being around as much as you wanted. Sorry for dashing out the door everyday, sometimes without giving you a kiss goodbye. Sorry for not giving you the car rides you begged for and sorry for the many other things I could not give you.  
    Despite those things you were always there for me with a love that nothing can match. When you come home, I will lay you to rest in the hole you started to dig under your favorite bush. You will come home where you always wanted to be. Close to the family and close to our hearts. I will always love you as you will always love me. -Daddy


Lola, 10/03 - 07/29/10 Camera Icon

Rainbow bridge will never be the same, now that Lola has arrived. She is the most mischievous "Angel" to enter. The puppy I found seven years ago, while walking, fought cancer twice and was grateful for every moment she lived. She loved to go counter surfing every night. She also liked to take one of my shoes and keep it on her bed. She never chewed the shoes. This morning was different, she placed both of my shoes on her bed. I don't know the significance of this. Maybe she knew today would be her last day. I was with her until her last breath.


Lola King-Sarna, March 26, 2003 - December 6, 2010

Our sweet little Lola-girl....it feels like the tears will never stop. Our precious little Beagle/Shiba Inu mix, you were so special and so unique. Never in our lives have we ever encountered a dog who was so in tune to our thoughts & emotions, and oh, so very smart. We miss your pretty little face and those loving, expressive, gorgeous eyes. Daddy's little cuddlebug. You were the love of our lives and we are so very happy to have spent 7 1/2 years with you, but we wanted so much more time. We never thought when we took you to the vet in September for that routine check-up that this December we would be grieving your death. We prayed you would have one more Christmas with us, and you fought so hard, but it wasn't meant to be. We know you didn't want to leave us, but you had to go - it was time. We never wanted you to feel pain, and we did everything we could to prevent that - I hope you know that. You were such a brave little girl and we were so very proud of you. You are our little angel now, but we miss you so much and the house is so very empty without you. A part of both of us died the day you left us. Until we see you again, Girl....

Love Daddy & Mommy


Lola More, 05/24/08 - 08/15/10 Camera Icon

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lola More.
Lola was a grey and white DSH shelter cat adopted on 08/24/08 and immediately became part of the More family. Each night she would protect her family from cave crickets, spiders and other basement dwellers and each morning she would have breakfast and then proceed up to the office to assist with the day’s work. Her daily duties included knocking pens off the desk, chasing crumpled post-its, listening to Howard Stern and laying across event contracts which needed reviewing. After a day filled with sunbeams, chipmunk watching and toilet drinking she would retire to her bungalow, the couch or sunroom for sleep. She briefly battled Mediastinal Lymphoma with strength and dignity through chemotherapy and died peacefully on Sunday at 5:15pm surrounded by her family at the Red Bank Veterinary Hospital.

In her two short years she brought nothing but joy to a house that at times needed it desperately. Her purring, squeaking and sweet meows will never be forgotten.  
Surviving are her big sister Marley and her very sad Mom and Dad.


Lola Ramos, January 29, 2005 - June 6, 2010 Camera Icon

Lola de mi vida!
Dolly and I will always remember you.


Loner Maney, 12/21/2001 - 2/2/2010 Camera Icon

Loner We miss you every day that goes by and it does not get any better as time goes by.But your in a special place and just wait for Mommie and Daddy on the Hillside because we will be with you one day......Love Always Mommie and Daddy Maney


Lord Casey Lorenz, October 12,1998 - November 7,2009

To my baby Casey, my best friend and companion for life !

The Creation

When God had made the earth and sky the flowers and the trees, He then made all the animals the fish, the birds and bees.

And when at last He'd finished not one was quite the same he said, "I'll walk this world of mine and give each one a name.

When all were named upon the earth and in the sky and sea, there's not one left for me.

Kindly the Father said to him, I've left you to the end.

I've turned my own name back to front and called you DOG MY FRIEND !

With sincere THANKS FOR BEING MY FRIEND, love always, your Mom, Sue


Lord Maximillian Bumpus, January 15, 2000 - January 18, 2010 Camera Icon

With Forever Love to our little boy, "MAXI".
You gave us unconditional love, companionship, fun and happiness for ten wonderful years!
You are now in the hands of a little Angel, showering you with kisses until we are together again to part no more.

Mommy and Daddy


Louie, 05-23-2001 - 08-03-2010 Camera Icon

My Louie a former lab beagle went to the Rainbow Bridge. He was diagnosed with lymphoma and his big heart was now failing. This was the hardest thing I could but I needed to let Him be at peace. He would know when my Blood Sugars were falling and made sure that I would get up to take care of myself who knew that a a dog that helped save lives in research would continue until it was time for him to go. I didnt save him He SAVED me. I miss him and love him much for being such a caring creature.
Always and forever Louie
Fran Smith Louie's mom


Louie, 04/04/04 - 07/12/10 Camera Icon

Our precious Louie, one of the Sabatini triplets - Huey, Dewey & Louie - went to Rainbow Bridge early on July 12 while being held and kissed by his loving Dad & Mom.  
     The patriarch of the Sabatini Piggie clan, Louie, who liked to be called Louis, was in his seventh year and had been at the helm of the Sabatini clan since the untimely death of his brother Midnight on March 18, 2009. Brother Dewey, the last surviving triplet (Huey died in 2007) has now reluctantly assumed the leadership of the Sabatini piggie clan.  
     Louie's death came unexpectedly. He had just had his teeth clipped a few days before but seemed to be on the mend when he stopped eating and became lethargic. He died overnight Sunday into Monday.  
     Maybe God called him because he needed a strong, devoted leader. Louie is just that.  
     Oh how we miss you Louie. You were the one that everybody looked to for leadership. Dewey said he will try to replace you but you are really irreplaceable.  
     You will be sadly missed by your brothers Dewey, Blackjack, Cajun, Darby, Maguire and Lil' Bear; your sisters Junie B., Mimi and Millie and your niece Baby Luv.  
     Skip merrily in the meadows at The Bridge with your brothers Huey, Midnight and Chester; your sisters Mama Pajama and Kimmi, and your cousins Garfield and Ziggy, waiting for the day when we will all be together once again.  
     Though our hearts are broken and we miss you more than you will ever know, we rejoice in the realization that you are no longer in pain and healthy once again.  
     We will never forget you and hope you will always have a special place in your heart for us. We look forward to the day when we will meet once again at The Bridge and live together for eternity.  
     God bless and keep you.


Luciano, 4.14.02 - 11.17.10 Camera Icon

Luciano was one of a kind. He was the very best dog in the whole world. Everyone was immediately drawn to him. He was a very intimidating, 100 pound doberman, but once you got to know him you quickly realized what a baby he was. He went everywhere with me. He was welcomed into places where no other dogs would dare to go. He learned to swim this past summer and I was so proud of him. He loved being on the boat and being near the water. He loved being anywhere that I was. He was my pride and joy, he was my life, he was my very best friend and most loyal companion. He had birthday party's every year and many many people attended. He loved sushi. He loved when I cooked him steak and chicken... while I ate cereal! Trying to live my life without him seems unbearable. I just don't want to go on without him. He brought so much joy into my life. He was taken from me very suddenly. After he was diagnosed with his disease he only lasted a week. I am having such a hard time trying to remember all of our good memories. I just want him back with me so bad. I have asked for my own death just so i can be with him again, where i belong. I can't put into words what Luciano meant to me. I can't put into words our bond. He was always at my side, he never let me out of sight, he always seemed to know when I needed a lick. He was a very very spoiled boy. EVERYONE spoiled him, but no one quite to the extent that I did. I just wonder how i go on without him...


Lucky, 06/28/08 - 05/31/10 Camera Icon

What a wonderful dog, a beautiful happy yellow lab who ran with the wind. He hugged us every morning and night. We miss him so much.

He leaves behind his loving sister, Snow Belle, his adoring father Sebago, his proud mother Acadia, our blessed daughter, Charlotte, my broken hearted wife Victoria and me, Stephen. He was the joy of our lives and like a son to me and my wife. Our hearts are heavy with sorrow. We love you Lucky Boy, Boy Boy, our Little Lucksters, our Baby Boy. We love you with all our might. We’ll never forget you.

Words sung to the melody 'Oh Danny Boy'

Oh Lucky Boy, oh how I love my Lucky Boy
Oh Lucky Boy, oh how I love you so
Oh Lucky Boy, you are my sweet and Lovey Boy
Oh Lucky Boy, oh how I miss you so

Oh Lucky Boy, you were my greatest pride and joy
Oh Lucky Boy, I'll hold you ever dear
Oh Lucky Boy, forever in my heart you'll be
Oh Lucky Boy, oh how I miss you so


Lucky, 1996 - 03/18/10 Camera Icon

To Lucky:

It was love at first sight,
you and I became fast friends.
I knew from the beginning,
I'd love you 'til the end.

Though each and every dog is special,
there's something that set you apart.
Something that made me fall in love,
something that stole my heart.

You made me laugh with all your antics,
and made me cry everytime I had to leave.
Saying goodbye to you and those sad eyes,
broke me down like you wouldn't believe.

But nothing could have prepared me,
for our last and final goodbye.
Nothing I've faced has been as painful,
or left me asking "why?"

I'd give anything in this world,
to have you back in my arms.
I'd do my best to keep you happy and healthy,
and safe from all harm.

You touched so many people,
and we're all sad that you're gone.
Not having you here to brighten our day,
feels so very wrong.

I promise to keep you alive,
right here in my heart.
I promise to love and cherish you,
just like I have from the start.

I want you to run and play up there,
and enjoy your favorite toy duck,
We'll see you when the time is right;
all our love, sweet Lucky-buck!


Lucky Heinz, December 1998 12 years old - January 11, 2010

Our beloved dog, Lucky, (Dalmation) shared our lives for 12 years. We received him, when he was a pup, he has a twim sister,( Dotty) who, we gave to my husband's brother, which she is still going! Lucky was such a special dog, he, was such a walker, actually, he was a prancer and when he walked sideways, he could really show off! He had spleen cancer, which we did not know until he died. As, many of you know, our pets are our lives. They are not human, but to us!

Sincerely,
Lucky Mom,
Sandy Heinz


Lucy Mojarro, 6-28-97 - 8-2-10 Camera Icon

Hello, mi Corazon, mi Amor, mua mua! I so miss your greeting when I come home from work – tail up in the air, telling me about your day or maybe that you missed me. You were the highlight of my day and the reason I rushed home from work. I also miss the way you used to wake me up in the morning – meowing, purring, kneading, and rubbing your head against my hand. Every night you soothed me to sleep and watched over my dreams. You were always there for me on sleepless nights comforting me. I miss you so much. You were such an important member of our little family; my faithful, constant companion for 13 years. You had such a gentle heart – so sweet, patient, trusting, and loving. I have regrets and guilt because I’m human and made mistakes, but I know that you in your perfect state understand the intentions in my heart. Mami is sad, but don’t worry, God will bring healing. I hope you know how much I love you and that I look forward to being with you again someday. You will always be with me in my heart until we meet again. I love you goosie, goose girl, goosie cat, goose goose, juice girl, juice cat, the juice. I can just picture you, so full of energy, running through the grass like a lion in the savanna, enjoying the sun, and drinking from the bathtubs in Heaven – the juice is on the loose:)

Love,
Mami & Papi


Lucy Roseberry, 1-20-08 - 8-14-10 Camera Icon

My sweet baby girl - I miss you more with every minute. You were such a brave little trooper and I have cherished every minute you were in my life. I miss your squishy cheeks, your talking, your smell and most of all I missed snuggling with you last night. I know you're happy now. You are free from your illness and are running free. Our home and heart will always have an absense without you.

We gave you a home 21 months ago but it was you that rescued us. You gave us more love, laughter and joy than we could have ever imagined. Your time with us was short but your dynamic little personlity have left a huge paw print in our lives.

My sweet Lucy-goose... I love you with all my heart and can't wait to see you again. Until then, run - play - roll in the dirt and have fun! xoxo


LUI, 2001 - oct 7 2010 Camera Icon

I lost my wonderful Lui last night. He had cancer. He was a Rottweiler/Sheppard mix; a wonderful stoic brave dog. When I adopted him he had been abandoned. I nursed him back to health but later on he developed cancer. He was a friend to my other dogs and they are depressed today. I hope he is with my husband now. It gives me comfort to picture them together.

My previouc baby boy, my handsome mandog, the love of my life,my handome Lukie Doodles, you will never know how much I miss you. We had no idea you had osteosarcoma. I thought you hurt your leg out running in the woods but then it didn't get any better. And then on January 19th, Dr. Tim x-rayed your leg while you were sedated. When he called me to tell me he found a lump in the ankle area I knew it couldn't be good. We had two options, amputation or to let you go. This cancer is fast spreading to the lungs. I knew you had been in pain for some time and your daddy and I couldn't let the suffering get worse. You deserved much better. You came home with me and then on Thursday, January 21st, we took you back to release you of your pain. Luke, it was such a precious time with you. I was able to be with you, lying on your blanket next to you, holding you in my arms, loving you and telling you what a good boy you had been and what joy you had give us. You were indeed the precious soul we loved to pieces. I was able to let you go because we loved you so intensely. I felt your sweet heart stop beating. I will always hold you close in my heart; you are my good boy. There will never be another Luke; no other dog will take your place.

Abby, your wild child sister, misses you; she looks for you. It is such a comfort to know that we will be together again and that right now you have joined your sister, Sarah, brother Fred and mother Lulu. You are all together, healed and waiting...

Luke I love you and because I do it is easier to let you go. You will always be missed and loved. I will see you at the Bridge, my sweet, precious one.

Luke, you were the love of our life. Since the day we laid eyes on your sweet little round face, our lives have been filled with joy. You brought so much laughter each day. The images of you flying through the air as you leaped unexpectedly onto our shoulders; your keen sense of intelligence that knew when the dog was locked in his crate; stealing chicken from our plates that somehow ended up on the livingroom floor or upstairs in a bedroom days later; how you always defended yourself with your little paws against those big monsters Donut and Cupcake; hanging out in bathtubs, and the "hooting and hollering" at those wee hours to remind us that you were still the master of the household. You were smart, mischievous, keenly astute, independent with pride, and a loving creature who always loved to be seen whenever company arrived. How I will miss the sound of your bell in the morning greeting me and the thump, thump, thump as you ran down the stairs whenever I called out your name. You saw Gregory grow from a 19 month old into a rising senior in high school who was searching for college. I always dreamed that you would live forever. I guess God had plans for you in heaven and finally decided what to do with you as we always joked. Whatever it is, I am sure that it is purposeful and you will do the best job. I am thankful for the 16 1/2 years we spent together,and I will always marvel at how such a tiny creature, a little bathtub bandit, with a little tiny heart, could hold so much love and share so much happiness with us. For all the times I held you, talked in baby talk, teased you, called you a million pet names, I will miss you but I thank you for all you have given me,Greg,and Bob. Go now and be the angel that God meant for you to be. You've earned it. Love,Karen

You came into my life July 2007. I knew in an instant I wanted to adopt you. I knew you were special. For 3 1/2 years, you have been a companion, friend, confident. I do not know what I will do without you. My first Christmas spent in this house was with you. You were a big part of my life here. I look forward to the day when we can be together again. I will still go for our favorite walks, remember that. In my heart, you will be with me. Forever in my heart.
