(Click HERE for Tributes posted in other years)


Jack, June 1993 - March 19, 2009

Jack, you were the best friend I ever had. I don't remember life before you, and life without you has been stranger than I ever thought possible. You gave me the best of times, and though I got mad at you when you made messes for me, you never doubted my love. I'm very grateful for how you helped raise me, and I'll never forget our time together. Sixteen years just wasn't long enough. You were the best friend I ever had. I hope you've made tons of friends waiting before the Rainbow Bridge, and when the time comes, I look forward to seeing your eager brown eyes and bushy wagging tail again. I love you, man. Be good to Patches. I'll see you again someday.


JADE, 10/26/1999 - 08/08/2012 Small Cam

There's so much to say about you Jade. There are not enough words that can express how deeply you are missed. I knew from the moment I first saw you and put you in my arms, until your final day with me. That God truly blessed me with something amazing. Jade, you left such a impact on everyone you came in contact with. From the silly things you did, from the bassett hound howl to about knocking someone down with that wagging tail, and let's not forget the sassy look from those brown eyes. You are so loved by many.
Everyday the tears fall down my face, because I miss you so much. Sweet girl, one day I know I will see you again so for now I have to be as strong as I can. Thank you so much Jade for the love you have placed in my heart forever. I will carry you in my heart always.
Jade, Always know this, that you will always be our rainbow here.
I LOVE YOU PRINCESS LADY "JADE"!

Jade, May/1998 - 07/30/2012 Small Cam
 
 Where do I begin a tribute to a cat who was NOT merely a cat, but my best friend, my comfort through the bad times, and my sons playmate ever since they were little? So many memories that its impossible to pick out a few...you were everything, my sweet, sweet baby girl,and your boys loved you so very much. Duncan looks for you on the couch, and Scottie hopes that his door will open...daddy misses you, too, although he keeps it in. As for me, how can I express in mere words just what you meant to me..so much more my child then a pet. You were my shadow, always by my side..I can't bear to see your food dish empty, and to know that we will not hear your cute little meow..its simply too hard to imagine. Jade, you always have loved your family unconditionally, especially mommy, and I truly felt like my heart was broken when you died, my precious  baby. You loved me so much,that even when you were in pain and couldn't see and I had to carry you to eat, you still purred just knowing mommy was there. I didn't want to say goodbye, because I wasn't ready. I never would have been ready.

Jade,my angel, how did the world not stop turning when I lost you? God himself knew just how deeply I loved you, and how much I cherished you.A lifetime is such a longtime until we meet again..as much as it hurt me, I held you while you went to sleep forever, and even then you tried comforting me by purring and looking towards the sound of my voice and your beloved boy, Duncan..we will never in a million lifetimes for get you..and mommy will never stop wishing for one more day.Be young and pain free again, and know that although your family struggles EVERY day and night without you, we will see each other again someday. I love you, my sweet baby...my arms and lap may be empty but my heart always will have a place for you..no pet could have ever made such a difference in a family like you did..

Jake, October 3, 2002 - November 30, 2012 Small Cam

jake you where a wonderful friend, my best friend. you will be missed by all of us. now you are free of any pain and sufferin. i love you jake (rake)one of your many knicknames.


JAKE, March 2, 1997 - March 24, 2012

Our boy, Jake couldn't walk down the street without at lease one person commenting on how handsome he was. He loved flowers, especially roses. He loved vegetables...especially a kong filled with celery pieces. He was born with hip dysplasia and had surgery for that when he was four years old. We called him our bionic dog because his hip was made of titanium. His brother, Buddy, has a tribute that can be found here in the 2007 postings. Now that Jake is gone too the silence in the house is deafening. We feel and see him everywhere. He was gentle and sweet and so very smart. He was herding us around and following us, keeping us company until his very last day. There is no measuring the joy and comfort he brought into our lives. We will be eternally grateful for that.

Jake, we know Buddy was waiting for you over the Rainbow Bridge. Now, when it's our turnto cross over the bridge and reunite, you can both round up all the animals there to greet us on the other side. Now you too can run and play together like the old days. That vision makes us smile through the grief. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH, WE MISS YOU MORE!

Jake, May 2001 - Februray 26,2012

To my best friend, you were such a loving dog. You will live in my heart forever.


Jake, 5/1999 - 1/20/2012

One of a kind! He would love you, beg off you, and then try and kick your behind if he didn't agree with you. Jake was loving, protective, active, fun, and entertaining. When we first got Jake, he was this little black and white dog with floppy ears and clumpsy. We didn't know if his ears would ever stand up like a heeler's ears should; but they did eventually. When he was a pup, he ate several remotes and gave his sister and brother a scar or two. In his younger years, he loved to jump high in the air to catch a frisbee, a ball, the water from an oscillating sprinkler or hose, a stick. Always knew when it was time and would anxiously await, even whine, for his afternoon cookie. He played ball and retreived sticks until the end. In winter, he loved to get on the bed to sleep with you and he would hog the blanket and bed at times. At Christmas, he was a kid that couldn't wait to find his toy under the tree, open it, and chew it. He will be greatly missed and remembered always until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge.

With LOVE from his family, the Avey's


Jake, 7th September 2000 - 7th January 2012

R.I.P my beautiful Jake; You brought us so much happiness since the day you came into our lives, a tiny bunddle of fluff :) The house is so empty without you, and our hearts broken.

Free from pain, will see you again some day, lots of love, hugs and kisses


Jake and Buddy, March 2, 1997 to 3/24/12 & 11/8/07

Our boys are together now on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. Buddy, on the left in the photo, crossed over in 2007 and was waiting for his brother, Jake, when he crossed over yesterday. We envision a joyous reunion and imagine them chasing each other around heaven just as they did our yard...young, beautiful and pain free.

We have thousands of photos of them both, but they don't help much. We long to caress their fur and give them full-body hugs and the "swiggle-wiggles" all over that they, and we, loved so much. They were jokesters and pranksters with each other and with us and we will miss their prodding and teasing ways. So very smart they were. They were gentle and sentive, loving and devoted. So proud we were, and will always be, to have been given the opportunity to share our lives with them.

The house is empty and silent and it hurts a great deal more than can be expressed in words here or anywhere else. It's the end of an era. Life will never be the same. We will love you boys forever!

Janie Marie Porter, 10/01/1992 - 11/19/2012 Small Cam

Janie was a precious 5lb toy poodle with such a strong will to live. Her dream started when she was rescued from a backyard breeder at the age of 7. My son Kevin saw this little girl and absolutely fell in love with her. He begged me for a month to go back and rescue her...so we did! Bringing her home was one of the most joyous experiences we ever had. She went from being a scared and timid little girl, to one that loved to run, jump and play! In her teenage years she lost her sight and hearing. That didn't stop her from living and communicating her needs. We were blessed to be able to take this little girl home and transform her over to the nice, sweet, loving little dog she was. We will miss you Janie Beans...until we see you on the other side..RIP! Love Mom and Kevin


Jaycee, 05/16/12

In loving memory of my best friend and arm of myself, Jaycee. She knew me by heart 24/7 for 11 wonderful, happy and working years. Sweet dreams and Pax in D Minor my love.


Jazz Kirkpatrick, June 23, 2003 - December 22, 2012

To Kael, even though I never had the pleasure of meeting your baby, Jazz, I can tell he was a wonderful boy. May you be comforted by the wonderful memories Jazz has left in your heart and knowing you will see him again, in a better place some day. Sleep easy, sweet boy. 


Jazzy, 07/23/2003 - 01/06/2012

RIP my sweet girl. You will always hold a special place in my heart!


JC, 8/99 - 3/11/12 Small Cam

Your were my baby boy.  When you first came to me you had been abandoned by your mother.  You weren’t very old.  We bottle feed you every four hours night and day until you were able to eat solid food on your own.  You grew to be 21lbs.  About the right size for your breed.  You had no clue.  You didn’t know you were a cat and you didn’t act like a cat.  I had you for 12 ½ years.  You were my friend, my companion, you were a joy to be with.  I miss you terribly. 

Jem, August 2005 - December 23, 2012 Small Cam

    Jem, Jembot, Jemba, Jemmers. You were a special kitty who will always hold a special place in my heart. A beautiful brown tabby with a white nose and chest, pretty white paws. You were the softest of teddy bears, with the silkiest fur, indefinitely huggable and cuddly. You would come running for a hug from the other end of the house when I called your name, with an inquisitive "Mroww?"
    You loved cuddling, always finding and pushing your way onto my lap when I was on the computer or watching T.V., reading or lying in bed. You used your paw to move the covers and get under them in bed for closer cuddles. You always wanted to be closer, you always wanted to be near and cuddled. You lay on my stomach and sneezed in my face. You loved to give kitty kisses. Whenever I needed you, you were there, always sweet, always loving, often strange and silly, always you.
    You made me laugh with your antics, the ridiculous, silly and inventive games you created to play with other kitties or by yourself. You did things your own way, went where you wanted to go when you wanted to go there, stuck your nose fearlessly into other cats' faces, took things you liked that didn't belong to you. All with simple straightforward curiosity, as if to say "What, I'm Jem, I'm here, I just know you're going to love me!"
    You made me feel better in countless times of sadness and loneliness, with your softness and your hugs and your ready purring. I talked to you about many things and I always felt like you understood. You gave me unconditional love. And although my heart is broken, and I am wracked with grief, unable to understand why you had to go when you went, I will forever be grateful for the time we shared and for all of the love, kindness and friendship that you gave me for so many years of my life.


Jenna, 5/18/05 - 1/17/12

My dearest Jenna,

We miss you so much. We don't understand why you became so ill in such a short amount of time; but we're comforted knowing you are no longer suffering. You were the best dog to the three of us: always waiting by the door to greet us and welcome us home.

RIP Jenna....until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Amy, Heather & Jordhan


Jess, 14th February - 2nd November 2012

My baby old lady Jess, my best friend, my heart has broken into a million pieces now you are no longer with me, your sister Jade passed 25th September 2012 some 4 weeks ago how I miss you both.

I had you both from birth you came into the world together and you left together, the sadness I feel is beyond words I want you both back so see you cuddle you tell you how much you mean to me,

I will never ever forget you will carry you both in my heart forever, the house is quiet without you both I hope you can give me sign that you are happy and know how much you were loved here.

Till we meet again I love the very souls of you.

Jesse Mae, Oct 26-98 - March 12-12

My Jesse Mae,

I love you so much and mommy is missing you so very much. I know that you are up in heaven now running like the wind and playing and hearding sheep like you were meant too. I know you understand why Mommy made the decision to send you home and be with god, where I know you are young again and in no more pain and I know God will take such good care of you till mommy gets there, and you meet me at our own little bridge and we will be together again. Untill then my girl I love you, I will see you soon. It is never good bye....

Mommy (Annette)


Jesse Mae, Oct-26-98 - March-12-12

Jesse, you were in my life for six wonderful years and although I haven't seen you in a few years, please know that I always loved and cared for you. You know that I missed you but now I know you're not in pain anymore and someday we'll meet again where you can run like the wind and always get the ball before I did. I thank God for blessing me and allowing you to be part of my life. Take care, doggie.

A Friend


Jessie, 19/02/1997 - 28/09/2012 Small Cam

Our most precious beautiful Jessie for 15 years and 7 months you were by our side.  We miss you every second of every day.  We love with all our heart and soul.  You were our life, you are our baby girl.  Our hearts are broken.

I miss our game of catch in the mornings where you would make such a racket barking and squeaking your favourite toy.  The house is empty and quiet. I wish with every breath of my body you were with us again.

We miss your snoring at night, your beautiful face, your smell, your you, everything from the tip of your nose to the end of your tail.

You were a fighter, you had so many problems over the years but together we fought these.  No more pain now my beautiful.

Be happy and have loads of fun at Rainbow Bridge with all the other family animals that have already arrived.

Until we are together again you will be in our hearts forever.

WE LOVE YOU OUR JESSIE

Jezebel, July, 1989 - 5/21/2012

Our sweet little kitty, Jezebel, left us for Rainbow Bridge today! She was the sweetest and most loving little thing (only 6 lbs. when healthy and 3 lbs. today). Her kidneys began to shut down and we almost lost her just before Christmas. With the help of medicine, she bounced back and we were blessed with five more wonderful months. After being a part of the family for almost 23 years, she'll be greatly missed! Our hearts are broken and we feel so empty without her. She was always so calm, and we can't remember a time that she ever bit or snapped at anyone! She pretty much stayed out of trouble, always enjoying her many adventures. Riding in the car was one of her most favorite things to do. She would sit on the section between the front seats and check out everything she passed by with the wind blowing through her fur. We'll always have many wonderful memories of Jezebel.

Sweetheart, thank you for 22 1/2 wonderful years and you'll be in our hearts forever! Have fun running around with Jiffi and hope you make a lot of new friends!

Love you so much,  
Mom and Dad


Joey (Male Yorkie), October 5, 2012 Small Cam

Joey a two and half year Yorkie, beloved companion of Donna, was taken from her on October 5, 2012, dying in her arms.

I know how much he missed by all, especially her soul mate.

Joey, everyone loved you, we will miss you.

Written by Ken.


Joey, November 2004 - 01/23/2012

Dear Joey...yesterday was the hardest day. To make the decision to end your pain was a blessing for you, but I miss you terribly. Poor Ellie has wandered around all day looking for you, and I just want to be able to rub your head and scratch behind your ears and wrap my arms around you again and tell you what a great dog you are. Nathan and I were with you until the end, holding you and loving you and telling you how much we love you. I know you are running like the wind, like you used to be able to do, jumping and catching Frisbees once again. Your life was far too short. You were such a GREAT dog...my protector and companion. My sweet Joey-dog. I love you so much.

Mom


Joker, July 9, 2000 - November 3, 2012 Small Cam

Jokey-Joke - our loving, quirky Shiba Inu...joined our family at 6 months of age, blind in your right eye with a heart full of life.  Joker, you are an angel who journeys from our world to The Rainbow Bridge, but never leaving our hearts.  We cherish all of your days, Joker, for the way you liked to play tag, how you first resisted new things and then grew to enjoy each and every experience, for the way you leaned into our gentle patting of your head as you grew sicker last week...for the funny way you looked at us, with your head cocked in a one-eyed stare.  We felt your gentle blessing as you passed in our arms yesterday and hold you as a heart treasure.  We will never forget you, Joker dog.  You were truly one in a million.  Rest and romp little one.  We love you.

Special thanks to the staff at The Country Vet and to Jim Codington, our spiritual leader of a vet!


Jones, January 1, 2010

Sweet boy, on this memorial day you have been gone for two and a half years, but it still feels like I just lost you. I miss you so, so much. You were the best friend I ever had, and the best thing that ever happened to me. I only hope you knew how much joy you brought into my life. I love you, Tigger -Laura


Jordan, 10/24/00 - 6/15/12 Small Cam

My Jordy was a beautiful black lab with a heart of gold.  We lost him recently to adrenal cancer which had spread to his lymph nodes.  We miss him so much!

I would like to tell you a little about my sweet, funny, gentle boy. We got him when he was a pup from an animal rescue hospital.  Someone had given him to a family as a Christmas gift, and they couldn't keep him.  What a wonderful gift he was for us!  We named him in honor of pro basketball player Michael Jordan because my kids were big basketball fans.

Jordan would sometimes, out of the blue, begin running full speed (in the living room, no less) and then stop of a dime...only to turn sharply around and repeat the process.  This would tickle us so much, we called it the "Crazy Dog Run."  He also would kiss your ear when you put your face up to him, and then bestow a little nibble as well.  We called this  "Kiss Kiss Bite."  Jordan thought he was a lap dog too...he would often come up to me or to my son, and practically climb in our laps, or rest his head on our knees.  When he was a pup, and still very small, if you opened the storm door to let him in, rather than walk around and enter, he would squeeze himself underneath the door.  My older son recalls one time when his bottom bunk bed broke, and he ended up on the floor, where he stayed for the remainder of the night, only to find the next morning that Jordan was sleeping on the mattress next to him! 

He loved playing in the snow, rooting his nose through the drifts.  He did not like thunder, though, or any loud noises like fireworks.  Sometimes during loud thunderstorms, he would run and get into the bathtub.  I guess it was a closed in space, and he felt safer there. 

If you said the word "Out" he would jump up on his hind legs in excitement!  He loved to get his cookie (usually a milkbone treat) when he went outside. If we were eating dinner, he would sometimes stand nearby and stare at the food, but if you looked at him, he would look away so that you "wouldn't know" he was interested in what you were eating!  For some reason, for the longest time when we lived in our town home, Jordan would not go upstairs...he just remained on the main level.  Even if we encouraged him to come upstairs, he wouldn't. My son even tried putting milkbones on each of the steps to lure him upstairs, to no avail. Eventually, though, he did come upstairs to the kids bedrooms, and we never did know why he changed his mind about it. 

We used to give him pizza crust as a treat when we had pizza, and one time, when my older son went to slide a slice of pizza onto a paper plate on the table, the whole thing went flying off the table, and the pizza ended up in Jordan's mouth (he caught it mid-air!) We wished we had gotten a picture of that - it was the funniest thing!  Although he was so gentle and sweet, he would sometimes act like a tough guy when other dogs were around, barking as if to let the others know he was not to be trifled with.  He would sometimes chew up magazines or other papers when he got mad...and if asked if he was responsible, he would look down and turn his head away.  He became a favorite when he would sometimes go to a local kennel when the family went on vacation.  The kennel had all kinds of activities including swimming for the dogs, and he seemed to enjoy going there to his "doggy hotel."  We later saw a picture on their website that we are 99% sure is Jordan.  The staff there said that he was always one of their favorites, and that they often allowed him to walk around freely with them while they tended to the other dogs. 

I recall another time, when we lived in an apartment, I had opened the door to take Jordan for a walk, but I had not yet put his leash on.  I didn't know it, but there was a UPS delivery person in the hallway, preparing to deliver a package. When Jordan ran out into the hallway, she startled said "Oh!" and sat down on the steps and Jordan turned and ran back inside the apartment - he was just as startled as she was! 

There will never ever be another dog like Jordan. I will miss my beautiful pup forever.  I pray that he is frolicking in heaven with my Dad, whom all dogs loved.


Josh, 04/17/1999 - 08/22/2012 Small Cam

Josh was my best friend and companion. He was trusting, loving, gentle, and always ready to go. We will miss you Josh and look forward to seeing you again at Rainbow Bridge. We love you Josh.

Juji Kitty, 2/29/2012

Dear Juji Kitty,  
You have brought so much joy to our lives. I'm so happy that you found us. I wish we found each other when you were a kitten, that way we would have had the entire 16 years with you. We miss you so very much. Our hearts are broken but we know that you are in a better place. You will always be in our hearts. I wish I could hold you one more time and "kiss your whole face" like I did every single day. Until we meet again on the Rainbow Bridge...  
Love,  
Sheryl

Julian, 02/03/2009 - 08/24/2012 Small Cam

Oh Julian..our treasure hunter. We are so sad without you. The minute we noticed something wasn't right, we took you to the Doctor, but they could not help you.  They think you ate a rat or a mole that had eaten some poison. The Doctor said that it may have taken several days to make you sick enough for you to show us. Believe me, we are so mad at ourselves for not knowing something was wrong sooner. You were always so happy, you didn't show us any signs ;-(   You were the most sweetest, most beautiful Black and White Parti Standard poodle ever. When you were born, so many people wanted you... but you were our's and we were your's. I hope you find lots of treasure in heaven.

Will will always remember you and love you Forever,

Your loving mom and dad :-(


Juliet, November 2010 - January 1st 2012

To our dear Juliet,  
From the moment I first held you, I fell in love with you, and had to have you. The day you joined our family was one of the happiest. You were here for such a short time, but during that time, you brought us so much joy, and gave us 3 beautiful babies, who every time I look at them, I'm reminded of you. When we were excitedly awaiting your second litter of beautiful babies, God decided to take you all, and it broke our hearts. I did everything I could to keep you here, but God took you home with him. I don't understand, and only heaven knows why. If I could have just one moment where you could understand my words, I would say, I am so sorry, It's my fault, I hope you can forgive me, and I just want you to know, that during the short time you were with us, you were loved more than you could ever know.

We are your family, always and forever, we will always love you.


Juniper, September 2009 - July 12, 2012 Small Cam

Juniper.

I imagine you running in a meadow with no pesticides, just sweet wildflowers that are full of yummy juice, and that fatten you up to your normal healthy weight. You sit in the shade of a tree, stretched out and comfortable, grinding your teeth and making that funny face that you used to when you were really relaxed and happy, like a Chinese Buddha statue, with your cheeks puffed out and your eyes squinted.

I hope you aren't lonely, or wanting for anything. I imagine that you've made friends...maybe even a girlfriend. I'll bet she looks like you but with big blue eyes and lopped ears.

I'll bet that Ken is petting you, and that Shirley is giving you little kisses on the nose like you like.

Your digestive system I see working beautifully, having fully healed. Just to prove a point, you litter the fields with bunny fertilizer, while doing binkies.

One day you'll stop and hear something familiar. It will be me, coming to see you. You'll hop towards me excitedly, just like you always did, and I'll bend down to pick you up. You'll snuggle up to me, like you did when we first met. You won't have realized that I was gone until I came to pick you up again, and then you'll remember...

Images of running around the apartment in Blacksburg will pop into your head; of Mike and of Christopher chasing you, and of you chasing away certain people who deserved it ;) You'll remember how you ran around all day, and were only in your cage for a few hours at night, but how you would still stare at me until I let you back out in the morning, when you would greet me by running in circles, around and around. You'll remember how I comforted you during howling winds and booming thunder, and how I would sit you next to me in bed, protecting you from your fears. You'll remember how you used to kiss me on the nose. You'll remember how I loved you with all of my heart.

This I hope, and so much more for you, bunny. You were more than a bun. You were a best friend. You were a positive force that told me to keep trucking, to keep pushing through these troublesome times, when everyone seems to have lost faith.

May angels lead you to the rainbow bridge. I'll see you when I get there. May God bless your soul, now and forever, Juniper bunny.

Love,

Momma
