To Baby We love you, you are a wonderful cat to and my best and companion...You will be missed

Bailey, Sept 6, 2001 - Sept 25,2013 Small Cam

Suddenly this morning, Bailey, your loving heart stopped beating.
I tried to save you but it was too late.  Your disease is ended, your suffering and pill taking is over and you are at peace. Free to breate easy, run in the fields and sniff to your hearts content.

Most days, people would comment to you on how cute you were and couldn't believe you werent still a puppy.  We used to visit seniors centres in your youth and they were delighted to meet you and spend time with you. You were excited too when you heard the word "visit". Your tricks delighted them and of course earned you a treat or two.

For me, I loved it when you "made your bed",getting the blanket just right before settling down.  You loved to play ball and loved your stuffie dogs, George and Gracie.  I'll take care of them for you. You were always there to greet me when I came home and always were excited to go stay with your Grandpa and Grandma.  They loved you too and miss you.

We wondered why you were sticking so close to us lately but perhaps you knew the time was close and you wanted one more hug or your belly rubbed.

As someone mentioned to me today "Aww, Bailey, I miss him already"
So good night my friend, have a good and restful sleep, you deserve it. I used to say "See you in the morning", now I will say "See you on the bridge"  What a joyous day it will be for both of us.  I love you and miss you already!
Bailey, 7/8/2013 Small Cam

Rest in heaven girly.  We will miss you.  Thank you for the many great years.  ; (

Bailey, 21st April 2001 - 25th May 2013 Small Cam

Our gorgeous boy, Bailey. We miss you more than words can say.  We had twelve amazing and precious years with you and memories we will treasure always.  Saying goodbye was the hardest thing we ever had to do but we know it was the right time.  Our last memories are of you running across your favourite field looking back to check we are still behind you.  It was early morning and the sun was shining and you were running free. 
The last week since we realised we were on borrowed time has been so difficult but we got to spend precious time together. Your brothers came home from university to see you and to say goodbye. We held you until the end, trying to comfort you and reassure you that we would love you always. 
Bailey, we will never forget you and will think of you every day.  There will be many tears but we know you are now free from pain.
Thankyou for being a wonderful friend, companion and member of our family.  We keep you in our hearts.
You were my rock and a great comfort to me when I was all alone and gave me the strength to get through a very difficult time in my life. Thank you my gorgeous boy.
Be happy and know we love you.  We will never forget you and one day we will meet again.  Run free, be at peace.
Love you always, never forgotten
Your loving family xxxxxxxxxxxx

Bailey, 4 October 2008 - 24 April 2013 Small Cam

Our Dear BAILEY GIRL,
You were everything good in this world...You had a joyful heart, a caring soul, and you were a wise and loyal friend! From the moment you entered our lives we had hugs and kisses, belly rubs, chin rubs, head pats...Bailey you were one big ball of affectionate and love!

I wish you weren't taken from us when you were only 4 years old...But you are in Heaven right now! There is no "terrible/horrible" to hurt you anymore! I know you are running fast and free; and waiting for us to arrive so you can greet us with a big "HU-ROW"...Because, like you always said, saying "hu-row" is your favorite!

You are with God now!
We WOOF You, Bailey Girl!
Mama, Daddy, Micaela, Christopher,
Jack, and Sammi Cappuccino (your puppy and pack mate forever!!!)

Bailey, 12/07/2000 - 3/07/2013

Bailey, you have left your sweet paw prints on our hearts.  We thank God everyday he led you to us.  You made us laugh, you kept us warm, you followed us everywhere and we treasure every single second you were in our life.  You're only gone a few days now and we're trying not to cry of sadness, but celebrate our gift of happiness with you.  I know we will be together again.


Love Always,
Mommy Michelle &
Daddy Jack

Bailey Stuart, 11/22/1997 - 02/20/2013 Small Cam

Dear Bailey Boy,

We hope you are having a great time in heaven. We love you every minute of every day and miss you always. We hope your tail is wagging as fast as it can, like it always did (we used to joke you were about to lift off! )

We hope you are making lots of new friends-we know you always preferred people over other animals, but look for Robbie, Tigger, and Cleo-they’re your brothers that you never knew (except for Cleo, but you always wanted to eat him). They will be your friends and take good care of you, we promise. They may even rub your neck and tickle you like you love so much.

We hope you’re eating all the pupcakes, candycanes, cookies, peanuts, and hamburgers you want! We are sure you’re eating everything that we always said no to as well. Just don’t eat too much or too fast pal.

When you run through the snow digging tunnels with your head, remember that it isn’t good to stay outside too long. We know you love it though. Also, you’re a loud boy, so remember not too bark too loud-you may need to use your whisper bark that you were so good at. It was always so cute.

I know Heaven is a rule free kind of place, so other than those few important things, run free, fly down the stairs as many as you want at a time, lick everyone you meet all over their faces, wipe your face on anything you want, and make sure you are getting lots of attention (if not you can start to talk to them-it always worked with us).

We know you are happy and healthy! We know your eyes are wide and bright, and you are smiling! We know you are having fun! Don’t spend your time missing us, leave the missing up to us, and know we miss you very much, everyday, and we always will, but we want you to have fun and enjoy Heaven.

We all think of you all the time. You changed our lives in so many ways, and we are grateful for you. You are and always will be glue that stuck our family so close together, you are our little brother and son. We each love you with all our heart, always and forever!

We see your handsome face all the time, and it makes us smile. You are the best, and you always will be. We will see you again when it is our time, and when that time comes we will expect your wheaten greaten as soon as we see each other, the jumping, clawing, kissing, and all.

Until then, run, play, fly, have fun. We love you and always will, we promise.


We love you always XOXOXO
Daddy, Mommy, Steffie, Vicki

Bandit, 10/29/2012 Small Cam

Bandit,

I am going to miss my sweet Bandito.  You were such a sweet and loving dog and had so much love to give.  You put a smile on my face each and every day.  Mommy and Daddy are going to miss you more than I can put into words.  I will forever think of you and miss you with each passing day.  I know I will see you again, and until then please keep your brothers and sisters company at the Rainbow Bridge.  Mommy will come get you one day and once again wrap her arms around you.  I am so glad you came into our lives, and it just won't be the same without your presence.  I love you and miss you always. 

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and Annabelle

Baron Von De Krome, February 6 2001 - September 5 3013 Small Cam

From the moment you were placed in my arms you captured my heart. You grew to have such a sixth of how to look after me. You never ever left my side thru numerous surgeries, you were my doctor and nurse that always made me feel better. Oh how you loved to play with your "icky" outside with Mommy. You walked so proudly with me everywhere you went. You were our baby, camping and going to doggy beach were your favourite time, you loved going out in our boat but you always barked to lead us back to shore. You were there when Daddy had cancer, trying to lick and make him feel better. Even in the end when I knew you could no longer stand and keep your balance your mind was sharp, and you wanted to stay no matter the extreme pain you had to be feeling. I had to let you go my sweet baby, to a place where yoou are free to run and play with your brother and sister. You can sing for all the dogs in heaven ( Baron learned to sing on cue to Happy Birthday as Mommy was a music teacher). You were always by my side when I played the piano , violin or guitar, you loved your music!. My heart is broken, you took so much of it with you when you had to go but I will honor you, I will try to love again, it won't be easy but I know this is what you would want. The park where we played will never look the same, the house is so quiet now, something is missing, your deep and profound love. I love you soooo much baby but I know we will meet again at the Bridge where we will cross it together. Kiss Brandy and Elsa for me and know that I am longing for the day we will be re-united. Goodbye..but only for a little while my brave and beautiful best boy ever. Love and kisses and hugs and a chocolate chip cookie coming your way baby...<3 <3 xxxx
Beans, September 2010 - October 20, 2013 Small Cam

My wife and I got Beans when he was just a little pup and he quickly became the best friend I ever had. He loved taking walks and "rough playing" with me! He was always loyal and would never harm a soul. We kept Beans outside in our fenced-in backyard during the day-he always managed to dig out, though! But he always came running back home when he'd see our car pull in the driveway from work.
One month ago, on Oct. 20, we came home from church on a Sunday afternoon, and we found Beans in the backyard laying still. I won't give details, but he had suffered a very tragic accident and had passed away.
My life hasn't been the same since. A huge part of me is gone, and will never be replaced. I loved Beans more than words can describe, and I will never stop loving him.
I have lost loved ones before, but nothing compares to the pain of the loss of Beans. I would like to think that one day I will see him again. Beans, I will never stop loving you nor forget you.

Bear, 04/05/03 - 02/16/13

Bear, we not only miss you but the persons we were when you were by our sides. Rest In Peace old friend!

Beauregard, June 14, 2000 - December 30, 2012 Small Cam

Beauregard, our miniature Schnauzer, has been set free.  After many tears, and constant worry over keeping him warm, and comfortable, I finally reached the point where I knew what had to be done.  He and I had a talk about it, and he perked up like I have not seen in a long time.  He was actually euphoric on the way to the vet and while we waited to set things up.  I think he knew he would soon be pain free, and that the Spirit Force that is the essence of Beauregard would soon be traveling to new frontiers with a freedom that he had not experienced in a long time.  He was so beautiful, he actually gave us the gift of reassurance and affirmation that this is what he wanted.  There is a giant hole in our hearts, for he has been a special puppy from start to completion of a beautiful life.  He made our lives better, and taught us many lessons.  But now, his mission is complete, and we have to set him free.

Before we left for the hospital, Cass (our Scottish Shepard (McNab) behaved as I've never seen her behave before.  She snuggled up to Beau, and had her head on his back.  She seriously had tears in her eyes.  She has had a hard time and has been staying close to me which has been a comfort. Anyway, seeing Cass display such love was such a gift.  I remembered how Leonard (Beau's dad) took his nose and pushed newspaper shreds around his newborn baby boys to keep them warm. These two examples (bookends, actually) of the love that is shared among animals will forever be cherished.  Animals are so much more complex than we can comprehend, and the whole experience from birth to death with Beau has enhanced every aspect of my life. I will be forever grateful for the gift of life with Beau over these past 12 1/2 years. He left us with style and grace...typical Beau!
Bebe, AGE 9 YEARS 11/14/2013 Small Cam

Bebe,

I knew you were meant for me the moment I first saw you and you laid your head on my shoulder at the shelter. I just know it was you I saw on my way to work that one day but couldn't stop to try and catch you. Fate brought us together and death only separates us physically, you will live in our hearts forever. You can never be replaced but when the time is right, we'll open our hearts for another dog who needs a loving home. You were my snuggle-buddy under the covers no matter the time of day or night for the last seven years. When you whined, everyone said you sounded like a baby and you were, you were my little furbaby. My heart has a Bebe-sized hole in it right now, I doubt it will ever heal completely. Our time together was too short my little sweetheart, now you are free to run off leash and chase squirrels for eternity. Cici and Fuzzy will miss you, the house is already painfully quiet. I love you forever and ever, until we meet again.
Beefy, 03/13/2004 - 08/05/2013 Small Cam

Rest in peace my sweet baby boy Beefy.  My best friend, companion and protector passed to mast cell cancer after fighting it a little over a year now. 4 surgeries to remove tumors and a round of chemo only to be taken away from our family too soon at the age of nine.  God bless you sweet boy, as I told you looking into your sweet eyes, Mommy will see you again one day, we will never forget you, our family will never be the same.  We love you cookie face!
Beethoven, May 1999 - August 2, 2013

The most wonderful dog.  There will never be another Beethoven.  He was so full of love.
Beiley Ramos, 2/14/11 - 05/23/13 Small Cam

I took care of you as if you we're my son because to me you were. I loved petting you, hugging you, kissing you and telling you how much I love you.

You love your treats sooo much that I left two cookies by your side my little piggy as I used to call you for been chubby. I'm sorry I had a baby n ignored you . I know those 2 months I did it wrong.

I will never replace you my beiley , my bele,bele,bele , my chief bele my MUNECO, my little piggy, echo bele, beleeee  , you used to get very happy when I call you like that.

I miss everything from you-even all the hair. I still see you around the house or running in the back yard. I never got the change to show you the reason why I didn't play with you as I used to, or have the chance to see you playing with the baby , I was gonna teach him to love you the same way I love you but i will teach him to be like that with romi your little brother . i love you very much n will miss you forever...
Your mommy...
Bella, July 4, 2008 - May 29, 2013 Small Cam

Our beautiful Bella.  One day my youngest son called to say he was coming home with something.  The something turned out to be you.  You were pitch black, and the cutest thing I had every seen.  We were not looking for another family pet. We already had two cats, and one little fox terrier mix.  I couldn't fathom another dog in my house.  Labs would grow to be big.  You were smaller than most, but your heart grabbed mine the minute I laid eyes on you.  My son would come to move out for a while, he went away to the service, but you remained.  you slept on a big pillow on the side of our bed.  You would watch T.V. with me so intently, that it was like you knew we were sharing something.  You would follow us around the house, wondering from room to room, and you were always so glad to see us as we walked in the door.  You were a loving sole, a wonderful companion, a best friend, but more than that.  You just made me feel better when I was down, everyday that you were in mine was a better day, just because you were in it.  Our last day together, (yesterday), I came home as normal, took you out to the yard so you could use the bathroom, and then you got your treat.  You were so happy. We fed you, and then we went to the back yard to play fetch. One minute you were running around so excited, and the next you were at my feet lying there lifeless.  I don't know what happen.  I have no answers.  All I know is I saw you leave this earth, and felt helpless.  My heart is empty, and last night I kept thinking your going to come in the room and start banging your tail against the side of the bed, so I could take you out.  That never happen.  There was just silence.  You are not the first animal that I became attached too, but somehow this is different.  I feel different.  I cannot imagine my days without you in it. You forever changed me.  Dear sweet Bella, I know you were loved, and I know you felt loved.  You were not alone, but now we are. Rest in peace, my baby bell.  You were the best dog I could have asked for. I was blessed that God allowed us to be in your life and in mine, even if it was for only a short time.  You will always be in my heart, and never far from my thoughts.  One day I will see you again, but for now I ask God to help me cope, and go on.  Heaven has my sweet angel, and the only solace I have. Rest in peace.
Bella Granato, 12/23/12 - 11/28/13

Dear Bella,
What a surprise you were!!   Grandma knew how much I love and miss George, so she got you FOR ME on 12/23/12, an early Christmas "gift".  I was so nervous and frightened at first because I wasn't sure how to take care of you and I thought for sure I was going to lose you.  You were soooo tiny, but you kept strong and was patient with me and together we made it through our first Winter.   I tried to get educated as much as possible on how to care for you and I knew enough to let you be until you started to feel comfortable in your new home!  You loved the green tree I bought for you, that was your safe haven, your security.   Whenever you would get nervous, which didn't seem to be too many times (thank god) that's the place you would stay.   Watching you come around and start to feel secure, made me so happy because it made me feel I was doing things right for you!   Only downside...having to deal with the crickets...yuk, but seeing you go after them made me laugh and relieved to see you eat.  That was a good sign that you were happy!  As time went on, more of your personality came out.  It was so funny to see you hang from the top of your tank (that was my favorite).  If my back was turned, I could hear you jump up there and just hang out.   You were too funny!  Or when you laid on your branch and would "sunbathe", cracked me up.  Or even when you would go to the tippy top of your log and almost touch the top of the tank, it would make me smile!  It was like you were trying to say..."hey Mom I want out of this place".  "I want to see what's going on outside".  All these wonderful and precious things you did were all firsts and all special to see and watch because you were truly my first lizard, right from the start.  It was you and me against the world :-).  We made it almost a year together.  I'm so sorry and sad that you're gone.  I still don't know exactly what could have happened.  Even after taking you to the Vet yesterday and the doctor telling me that you were going to be OK, I'm at a lose.  I've been beating myself up trying to figure it out.  Was it the lighting, heat, bad cricket, depression (as the doctor said)??? Not sure and I'll never know, but today on Thanksgiving, I can say I was and will always be THANKFUL to have you in my life.   For the joy and uniqueness you brought to it!  Thank you for that, thank you for YOU!
You are now with the BEST...all MY (Our) loved ones, the most recent, MY precious Ebbie girl.  I know you are with them now and you are HAPPY!  Please know that you will remain with me always, in my heart always!  I love you dearly Bella!
Love you always, Mommy! xxxxoooo

Belle Starr, 08/03/2003 - 05/16/2012 Small Cam

Belle Starr was the love of our life. Gentle,loving,and constantly with us where ever we would go. I had suffered 3 strokes,and since she was a little puppy,she thought it was her job to "take care of Daddy". We were like peas and carrots. If you seen one of us,the other wasn't far away. She was one in a million,and acted more like a little girl than a dog. She would hang on every word you spoke,and do many chores,like getting the paper,and mail,fetching Mommy's walking shoes,to go on a walk,and take Daddy's socks off,and carry them to the clothes hamper. It's been ten months since she passed away fron kidney failure. She fought it like a trooper until the very last 2 days. Gone was the gleam in her loving eyes,as the toxins in her blood became too high. She passed away while the Vet was giving her a blood transfusion,having a Grand Mal seizure,then coronary arrest.She was 8 1/2 years old. We will miss,and love her forever. "We had a time,didn't we Bellie Girl" Love you always,Mommy and Daddy
Belle Thompson, November 1995 - August 20, 2013 Small Cam

To my sweetheart Belle and more affectionately known as Merp Merp for your wonderful announcement as you entered a room. My heart aches to have to let you go and I have missed you everyday since.  You may be gone from us here on earth but a part of you lives on in my heart now and forever.
Ben, 05/19/1998 - 03/22/2012

I started writing a long story, but all I can say is you were loved beyond reason and you are missed so much. You are with the rest of your family now and I know I will see you again when you come to escort me home.   Mom

Bingo Pepe, August 30, 1998 - December 12, 2013 Small Cam
          
Our little canine baby girl, Bingo, was born with her knees out of their sockets and the vet wanted to put her down. I of course refused that option and found an amazing vet who fixed her knees with pins. Immediately upon coming home she was high tailing it over bushes even though the vet said she will not walk for a few days. She saved us by jumping on my chest while I was sleeping from 2 defective stove gas leaks, woke me up for a fire I like an idiot left a candle lit in the kitchen, attacked a psycho who broke into my crawl space and started a fire and then cut down my fig tree. Our lil 22 pound Cockapoo angel tore off a piece of his pants before he kicked her and broke her leg. She was the strongest dog I have ever ever known and never showed us she was in pain. Bingo just always showed us love and kisses. At age 14 she was diagnosed with Kidney disease and her kidneys were functioning at just 20 percent.  Again Bingo never complained and managed to live a very active fun almost 14 months.  Dominick, Nick and I will miss her dearly.. There are just not the right words to describe the Loss........ My lil Canine daughter is now with my Canine son Champ.. Love you both Champ and Bingo! xoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxox Your human Mommy,.......Daddy and Brother Nick
Bitsi, August 1998 - December 28, 2012

My husband and I were putting away the Christmas decorations in the outside shed on a Sat. morning in early Jan. of 1999.  Nearby was one of my flowerbeds and a large bushy tail was sailing through the flowers.  I am a city girl and asked my husband if he thought that could be a skunk!  He laughed and told me that if it was I would smell it.  Then we saw what owned the bushy tail.  A tiny coal black kitten emerged out of the flowers.  It wasn't a bit afraid and came right up to us and rubbed our ankles.  I wanted to pick it up but didn't want to entice it if it was a pet. This was a really beautiful kitten with long black fur, a ruff around its neck and a little white locket under the chin and that fabulous tail and huge paws.  The kitten played around all morning. 

After lunch we went back outside and there it was, as though waiting for us.  I knew it must be hungry after so many hours but held off feeding it.  Finally I picked it up and discovered it was a little girl.  I carried her all over the neighborhood trying to find where she belonged.  No one would claim her so after a couple of hours I claimed this kitten and proclaimed her mine!  We had an older cat in the house so I had food but not kitten food. I figured it was better than nothing.  The poor little thing was so hungry she ate almost a whole can of food.  I sat on the porch steps and watched her eat, feeling so sorry for her.  When she finished and had a big drink of water she tried to climb the steps but her little legs were so short she had to hop and made it to my lap.  That was all it took, and we bonded in love.

Because of diseases, we could not take her in the house near our cat, Tami.  We made a nice retreat for her with rugs, a wicker cat basket
and quilts leaving just a little door for her to enter.  She knew what it was and climbed in for a nap.  We couldn't take her to the Dr. until Mon. morning and I was frantic until then, afraid something would happen to her or she would leave, but Mon. morning there she was, waiting for us. She had adopted us for her own.  All weekend I would run out to the steps every half hour to check on her and would say, "poor little bitsy thing".

Monday morning at the vet's they asked for a name and my husband said I had called her bitsy all weekend so that became her name, changing the "y" to an "i".  Her tests were all good and the vet said to take her inside.

At first, Tami, nine years old,  was not amused with a kitten to bother her but eventually they became very good friends and were inseparable.

The vet told us she was a Maine Coon breed, and would grow into a very large cat. By the time she was a year old she had grown into that bushy tail and weighed twelve pounds.  A very loving cat, but not a lap cat.  She preferred to be beside you, snuggled up close.
We had a marble floor in our family room and the cats loved to play with their plastic balls in the middle of the night making a racket on that hard floor. They both had wicker baskets on a bench right next to my side of the bed at night but for nap time they preferred the linen closet on top of a pile of soft towels or the dryer after a load had dried and it was warm.  I know that was dangerous but there was just my husband and I and we were very careful and when anyone else was in the house the laundry room was off limits.

Both inside cats, Tami a tiny 7 pound oriental, was more aloof, but Bitsi was my shadow when she was not sleeping.  At Bitsi's largest she weighed eighteen pounds.  She could jump so high and both could race around the house chasing each other.  They traveled with us and moved to a larger house with us and enjoyed a large screened in porch where they had a pond with fish and turtles and many birds to watch from special shelves we had built in below the windows.  All the while there was so much mutual love and so many happy times.

But the good years went away and my husband and Tami aged, he with heart problems and she with kidney problems.  At the age of nineteen years we had to say goodby first to my husband of fifty four years, two months and sixteen days.  We grieved together, my Tami, my Bitsi and I.  It was only a few months later when Bitsi and I had to say goodbye to Tami.  Bitsi missed her friend so much she lost her appetite for a while and at age nine it worried me.  But we comforted each other and she rallied.

Bitsi began to sleep on my bed as close to my side as she could be and in the morning she would be on my pillow behind my head.  She would reach over my face with her huge paw and gently pat my face until I would wake.  Maine Coons do not sound the same as other cats, they sort of chirp and she would chirp away until I would get up.  I would get her breakfast and after that there was a delight for her.  We shared a carton of strawberry yogurt that she loved.  She ate it off a spoon.  She had taken to sitting on my lap and would pat my leg when she wanted up.  She no longer could jump very high and had some arthritus in joints. 

By this time we were living with my youngest son and they had two dogs.  Bitsi preferred to stay in our room, bath and our end of the hall away from the dogs.  At fourteen years I could see so many changes in her, slowing down and not playing so much although she still had that merry look in her beautiful eyes and a dash of catnip could bring her back to younger days for a bit.  Her coat, long and silky with the little white "locket" under her ruff was yet lovely and she loved to be groomed.  I spent little time away from our room, wanting to spend every moment I could with her.

Christmas day Bitsi was quiet and just wanted to snuggle or be on her perch by the window where she could see the kids playing below.  My reading chair was next to her perch and she would reach over to pat my head sometimes flexing her claws.  Not to hurt me but just to let me know she was there for me.
 
On the 28th Dec. I asked my son to take us to the vet as I knew she was not well because she would not eat and went in the closet to lay in the corner.

My heart was broken when her doctor said Bitsi was trying to die.  Her tests came back that she had developed diabetes.  He said she could not get well and it was time to help her so she would no longer hurt and be sick.  I held my baby for the last time there in the little room, cuddled in her favorite baby blanket, told her how much I loved her.  She looked at me like she understood.  When I put my face next to hers she rubbed her nose on my cheek as if to thank me,  gently sighed and closed her eyes. 

Her ashes are here in a lovely wood box on the table in my room, next
to Tami's and my husband's urn.  I cry every day for my losses, and I pray every day that God will let them be together and someday that I may be with them again.  I miss Bitsi so much, there is just a big hole in life. I've loved all my pets the same over the years and grieved for all of them, yet there was always something so different and so special about my Bitsi.  I will never be over missing her and  wish she could give me a sign that she is OK and with Poppy.  I hope my Bitsi, you are having fun, running and jumping and playing with Tami and rubbing Poppy's ankles.  With all my love, Mommy

Your best buddy,

Blake, 4-29-2001 - 12-7-2013 Small Cam

Blake came to keep  me company when she was six years old.  Her owners, my son and his wife, felt since I was retired I needed a buddy and could spend more time with her than they could.  She was such a gift.  She became known to me and everyone in the neighborhood as Blake the Wonder Dog.  She also was named the "gold standard of dogs" by my next door neighbors.  She was sweet, polite, cuddly, and loved to have human company of any kind, old and young.  I love to garden and she followed me every step of digging, planting, weeding and watering.  She took me for a walk every day and if I was dragging my heels, she would sit by the back door and look at me in such a wilting way, I had to  move and get going.  When we watched television together, she'd sit so close to me I usually couldn't move.  When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she stuck by my side through surgery recovery and my chemo treatments.  I felt I was well taken care of at all times.  If I had a particularly rough day, she seemed to always know and gave me extra kisses and more cuddle time.  When she was diagnosed with blood cancer 4 months ago, it was my time to take care of her.  She still wanted to help me garden but would soon tire and say, carry on, I'm going inside to take a nap!  When the time came a wonderful veterinarian came to the house and helped me and Blake "find her wings".  It was a sweet, peaceful experience.  I miss my pal Blake.
BO BO, 1987 - 1989

Dear Bo Bo

I am very sorry. Mom Mom owes you. Mommy did not take you to Canada with me. I found a home for you in Discovery Bay but this  non human did not want you any more after a few months. I did arrange for you to fly to Canada. Sadly you escaped from the van of that boarding kennel in SAI KUNG. Mommy was very sad during that time.

Please forgive Mommy.  I Feel guilty for making that decision of leaving you there.

Please know Mommy LOVES you forever. I wish you all the best and all the happiness wherever you are, whatever you are.

Bless you Bo Bo.

Bosley, 10/06/2004 - 12/19/2013 Small Cam

My Dear Sweet Bosley,

Words cannot express how heavy my heart is right now. Even though we only had you in our lives for 3 years it was the best 3 years for us adding you to our family. I hope that you finally felt like you were loved and part of a family since you never really had that until we adopted you. It was so hard for me to make the decision to let you go but I know that it was the best for you and you are no longer suffering. I love you so much Boz and miss you my Silly Goose or Goose Egg like Dad called you. You touched our lives and we will never forget you. Please find Precious as she is already in Rainbow Bridge and tell her we love her too! Until we meet again my sweet baby.

Love,

Mom and Dad
Boston (Rose), 10th January, 2006 - 24th May, 2013 Small Cam

My darling Boston
My husband pleaded with me to have a dog and we decided on having a Bullmastiff. The first time i saw you with your brothers & sisters you came straight to me and sat on my foot, that was it, i was smitten, our journey began together. After being told by a vet you had a very bad heart at the age of 12 weeks and would only last 12-18 months i decided that you were going to have the best of everything. We all spoilt you rotten, you was my baby. My sons all left home one by one and left just the 3 of us, we became inseparable. I took you walks everyday,you loved your daily walks which was at the same time every morning. You grew strong but very fussy with your food, which meant you only ever had meat 'fit for humans' and a few dog biscuits to go with it. You also loved drinking out of the hose pipe. i loved the way you knew when people walked past our house, you used to pick your neck up and stretch your head just to be nosey. You would put your chin on our lap when you wanted something, you would place your chin on the window sill to watch the passers by. You were so gentle, so loving but so very protective. When any of my sons came to visit you would get so excited and pick the nearest bone or your rolled up blanket in your mouth, always so happy to see them. At night you would come and lie wherever i was to have a fuss and you had plenty of that. Every year that passed i was so pleased you had made it another year, every day, month and year was a bonus. Until this March, you started to drink more water, and your heart rate had lowered, so each day i would take a reading making sure it did not go below what the vet had said. The vet couldn't do tests on you as you couldn't be sedated, your heart wouldn't take sedation. And you would not let him near you to do blood tests, you were such a very strong boy Boston, really strong. We knew you were not diabetic, and all the symptoms pointed to a tumour or kidney failure. The vet suggested euthanasia! NO.... no way was i giving up on you my beloved Boston. We took you home, gave you the tablets prescribed to try and keep you as long as we could. I was in denial, i thought you would last at least another year!Or is that what i was hoping for? We were all heartbroken at the prospects. But everything the vet predicted happened. You lost your appetite, stopped eating and lost alot of weight. Then one morning in May i woke to find you very lethargic, realising how thin you had actually gone, your legs couldn't hold your body weight and being sick, i was devastated. In the afternoon when 'daddy' came home it hit him like a brick! he knew it was time to let you go, you were suffering and wasting away, God only knows how i got through that night, we asked the vet for a home visit, so you were in your own surroundings. I telephoned my sons, one couldn't come as he could not face saying goodbye to you but the other 2 came and broke their hearts. It 'killed' us all to lose you but we hated seeing you in pain. We were in a no-win situation. Boston, you were so loved, you have changed my life so much and left a massive hole in all our lives. Seven weeks have gone by and i have cried for you every single day. I loved you with all my heart Boston, i never realised losing you would hurt this much. I will never ever forget you my baby, and i will love you for the rest of my life. Until we meet again my beautiful Boston,then we will be together forever more. Please stay by my side, you will be missed always. With love from your broken hearted 'Mommy, Daddy', Andrew, Dale & Craig xxxxxxxxxx
Boy, April 6, 1996 - June 20, 2013 Small Cam

My best friend. 

You greeted me at the door when I got home from work, like a dog.  You trained yourself to stand on your hind legs.  You trained yourself to shake paws (sort of).  You woke me up every morning begging to be fed.  You loved lying outside on the balcony in the sun.  You just loved your belly rubbed.  You loved your sister.  You let me sleep in the morning after she passed.  You loved me.

And I loved you back.  My best friend.

I'll miss your purr; it was so loud.  I'll miss you licking my arms and my back.  I'll miss you lying in my lap when I was on the computer.  I'll miss you lying on the couch with me.  I'll miss you sleeping with me every night, whether it was on the couch or in bed.  I'll miss you drinking out of the toilet.  I'll miss rubbing your belly.  I'll miss the fact you were the gentlest, most trusting cat I've ever met.


And I'll miss your unconditional love.  My best friend.

See you when I get there, buddy.  Say hi to your sister for me.  I love you.
BRANDY, JULY 14, 1999 - MAY 24, 2013 Small Cam

Brandy was a sweet girl that will be missed by our entire family.  She was very loving but had her own personality that made her unique.  She loved me unconditionally as I loved her.  She made me a better person because of the love she gave me every day.  She was my baby and I was her daddy and she made me feel special every day of her life.  It was a privilege to take care of her every day of her life and she truly was a gift from God as were all of my doggies before her.  She was my best friend and it hurts terribly having to go on without her.

Brandy had cancer and stayed alive unselfishly for me until she could not go on. God I will miss her.  She is with God and Amber and Shamas  and Abbey and Wickie waiting for me on the Rainbow Bridge when we will all be together again in Heaven with all of my best friends in this life.

God Bless you Brandy.  Your life truly blessed me.

Love always,

Daddy

Bruiser (BooBoo), 09/16/00 - 12/29/12 Small Cam

My sweet baby (Bruiser) aka boo boo. A beautiful rescue her mother was. Boo Boo was born one of 9 puppies.
My darling lived for love. So charming. Constantly a paw. Beautiful memories to cherish forever.
Time seems so long till i could write about her. It seems like an eternity. Yet the grief still goes through me. I feel her love. I sense her presence.
Today is nearly a year. Time cannot take away the grief. it is too deep. Like the bond her & i had. Always together. Her brother Chopper were like a tea cup & saucer.
All this seems like the wink of an eye in the scope of time. I never thought of loosing any of them. Her brothers & sisters were born together & stayed together. Though i finally got down to 5 from 9. She was the last runt of the liter & she adopted me. As i knew then she was my forever dog.
Bubbas Hudson, May 1, 2011 - July 19, 2013 Small Cam

Bubbas, from the moment I saw you, I knew you were going to change my life. I loved that fact that I was the only one that held you, even at the end. You loved the other cats and they soon loved you. When we found out about your leukemia in April, my heart was broken. I tried to make every day special for you. I loved playing with you and watching you play with Willie. I wasn't expecting you to get sick so soon. It happened so fast and I just didn't want you in any pain. I think you knew what was happening that morning at the vets. I'm having a hard time coping with this, but I'm trying. Willie and I will honor you tonight at the Candlelight ceremony. Thank you for coming in my life. Bubbas, I told you as you were leaving Earth that we would see each other again, and we will. I love you so very much. Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge. Love mom and Willie xxxoooxxx
Buddy, March 23, 1999 - December 27, 2013 Small Cam

My Dear Sweet Buddy,

My heart is broken and heavy with sadness since I lost you yesterday and your brother Bosley a week ago. I love you so much Buddy! It was so hard to say goodbye to you. You have been in our lives since you were 3 years old and from the moment I saw you, I knew you were meant to be mine. I know that we were blessed to have you as long as we did but that still does not soften the blow of losing you. I will miss taking you for your daily walks and letting you have you favorite biscuits. I am lost when I get up in the morning because there is no longer a need to get up and let you out to pee and feed you. I will miss your beagle nose going crazy on a scent and your deep AROO....Life won't ever be the same without you. You are the "original chili dog" and will always be my first doggie baby. I miss you terribly and so does dad. He is so sad that he wasn't able to be here to help you drift into Rainbow Bridge but wants you to know that he loved you more than anything in this world.

Love,

Mom and Dad
Buddy, 11/01/01 - 12/17/13 Small Cam

Buddy,
I love you and miss you so much! You gave me years of unconditional love. As you grew older, I worried how I could make it without you. I can't believe that time has come. It seems like such a short time ago that we were sneaking you into Sissy's Christmas stocking. You were so tiny! You were Sissy's at first but you become my constant companion. You always followed me and had to make sure where I was. You were my little shadow.

Everyone in the house knew who the boss was. All 7 lbs. of you. Poor Lulu just lays around. I wish I could read her mind. She seems like she waiting for you. She stayed so close to you that last week.

 I miss your sweet brown eyes and your endless kisses. I'll always remember the last kiss you gave me. You were so sick but wanted to make me feel better.

When you left, a piece of my heart went empty. It feels so hollow. I look at pictures of you and remember all the good years we had. Oh what I wouldn't do for one more kiss!!

I love you Buddy!!

Mommy, Sissy, Jordan and Jacob
Buddy, December 14 2013 Small Cam

I miss you my beautiful Buddy. The house is so different without you.You loved being outside, but your recent illness kept you inside and deprived you of all the pleasures that made your life enjoyable. You still loved being brushed and cuddled, and snuggling up to us in bed at night. But your nature yearned for fresh air and gardens and fields and the ability to run and jump over fences and be free. Now you are free again, and though I miss you so much I know that you are happy again. You were truly loved.
Buddy, 01/28/2003 - 07/26/2013

Buddy was the BEST DOG EVER! Loyal, Sweet, Loving, Energetic, and most of all Love children, and other animals:) He will always be Remember & Love by all!!!!!
THANK YOU BUDDY FOR 10 WONDERFUL YEARS OF LOYALTY COMPANIONSHIP, LOVE!!!!!!!!
Buddy, 5-16-13 Small Cam

Buddy, our baby boy, our little clown. We'll never forget your smiling face, your loving kisses. We had you for so little time it seems. It feels like only yesterday you were making Uncle Bobby giggle with your non-stop kisses when he and Daddy went to pick you up from the pound. We'll always remember the goofy way you acted when someone was scratching just the right spot on your back. You could always make us laugh.

We hope we made the last few years of your life special. You had to have known how much we loved you. We'll miss you terribly my love. Rest in peace baby boy. Run pain free now, over the rainbow bridge. You'll be forever in our hearts Buddy. We love you so very much!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Buddy Ferrara, Jan 23 1999 - April 20 2012 Small Cam

My boy buddy lives in my heart and has taught me so much about unconditional love.   He was my best companion in the world and my heart is broken with out him.  He is in a better place however certainly still in my heart forever.   I loved his snuggles and our times together for our car rides and walks.  My home has an empty place with out him.    It was the hardest choice I ever had to make to let him go as I held his sick body in my arms before he passed.  I was so blessed and grateful to be his mom for 13 years and he is forever loved and in my heart.   Blessings to all who have lost their wonderful companions. 
Bullet, 12/26/2006 - 04/05/2013 Small Cam

This is so hard for me.  I got Bullet from a hotel room on Twain and Paradise in Las Vegas Nevada. I was living there at the time, and I had another pit bull dog named Louie.  He was adopted from the Lied animal shelter.  Louie was scared of everything, I remember one day he was so freaked out about being left alone in the back yard of my friend's house that he dug out and I found him sitting on the top of my gold Dodge Stratus.  Anyways, I was walking Louie in at night time through the hotels by where the pit bull fighters/breeders kept their dogs. Rows and rows of hotel room windows filled with pit bulls all different sizes and colors. Joseph and I stopped to talk to a guy outside holding a little brindle puppy. He was impressed with Louie, asked us if we would trade him for the puppy.  We said no and continued our walk.  The next day Louie was killed by a car, he jumped out the window on the freeway after Joseph got in a near accident.  I was so sad over Louie, but I couldn't stop thinking about the brindle puppy.  I told Joseph to get him for me.  The next day when I got back from work, there was my brindle puppy sitting on the bed.  Joseph had already named him Bullet and I loved it.
During the next week I took Bullet to the vet to get his shots. 3 days after Bullet got vaccinated for Parvo he came down with it.  I remember Joseph calling me at work telling me there was something wrong with Bullet, he wasn't eating. I took him to the vet and the test immediately showed us Parvo. I couldn't afford hospitalization so I took all the medicine from the vet I could afford, went to the store and bought every kind of Pedialyte I could find and went home with my puppy.  Parvo is a horrible puppy illness. He just vomited and defecated the worst smelling bile.  He was so sick, could not even hold his head up. For 3 weeks it was like clockwork, he vomited and defecated on my bed, in the room, outside, everywhere. He was a skeleton of a puppy, putrid smelling bile shooting out from his rear and mouth. One night I made the decision: I was going to call the vet in the morning to schedule euthanization. Late that night I was in the kitchen cooking and he came out and ate a grain of rice from the floor.  I was so happy.  I knew my puppy had made it. I was so happy I cooked him chicken and rice soup, which he didn't eat that night, but ate in the morning. And he did, he grew up big beautiful and strong.
Joseph and I fought a lot through out our relationship. In my hostile and volatile home life I found solace and peace with my Bully. I used to call him pupper doodles.  That was my nickname for him. I remember holding on to him when I was in labor with my son.  For three days I squeezed this big pit bull on my bed, making it through the pains. So many memories of Bullet being there for me when I had nobody else, true to his breed he was a loyal companion.
Joseph bought me a Chihuahua named Lola, and Bullet and Lola became best friends.  Bullet was always good with the little dogs. It was funny to see this big mean pit bull run from a Chihuahua, but it was common sight in my house. There were many that came to the house, Jennie, Armani, Buster, Tommy. Bullet was my companion when my sons dad left me. He was the steadiness in my life I needed when I felt like everything was falling apart.
Reflecting on those days fills my heart, I was a good mommy to him. I did the best I could.  I have never had a lot of money, but I took care of Bullet before I took care of myself.
Bullet was the victim of his own circumstances.  Bullet had a dark side; Bullet turned out to be dog aggressive. He wasn't always this way, in Las Vegas we would go to dog parks every night. Watch our puppy play with the other dogs. When we moved to Dayton Nevada the first dog attack happened. It was snowing outside and Joseph opened the door saying, "look Bullet it's snowing."  Bullet ran out and down the street and attacked Bo, a big lab mix.  Bullet grabbed Bo by the neck, he would not let go. I couldn't get him off, the more I tried to pry his mouth open, he clenched down harder.  Then he would shake.  He did this 7 more times to 6 different dogs (Bo was attacked #1 and #2). He also has bit a few people, always in the frenzy of the fight.  This last time it was a young dog, probably 9 months of age. I begged the girl not to call the police, but she wouldn't listen. People don't see an animal that is loved by its owner, a dog that sleeps in the bed, has his spot on the couch, a dog that hates Cheetos, but loves cheez-itz, a dog that means the world to a little boy, a good guard dog.  They just see a dog that attacks their beloved pets, and hates him for this. I could have made things better, but I didn't and I wasn't given the chance.
Bullet was euthanized on April 5, 2013 for dog aggression.  3 attacks on record in Carson City Nevada. He was young, beautiful, a great dog with kids and people, a personality that just dragged you in.  But a killer of his own kind. I try to rationalize his death, I try to put away the guilt. But it is hard. I loved this dog so much. Why didn't I have the lock on the gate the one time he got out? Why did my roommate leave the window open the other time he got out.  Why did I take my eyes off him this last time.  Why do I still not have enough money to at least take him to a vet and be there with him? I don't have his body, I didn't even get to say good bye. I know in my heart that he had the potential to kill another dog, somebody's family member, and I would have double the guilt, not to mention court fines and everything else.  But it doesn't change the fact that I loved my dog.  He was only 6 years old, my best friend, my reason for going home, my running partner, my guard dog, my pupper doodles. I was robbed of my best friend, and I feel I am the one to blame. I don't know why things happen like this, the most horrible situations seem to be my path of life. First Louie, beautiful black and white American Pit, and my ex's dog, then Bullet my brindle red nose blue nose mix, my dog, my heart, my best friend.

Buster, 02/17/1996 - 02/11/2013 Small Cam

Today is the three month "anniversary" of the passing of my little Buster. The wound still feels fresh and the grief lingers. He was a twelve pound Peka-pug. A little "man" with a big heart, a "heart of steel" we would say.(We always thought that he didn't know that he was a little "guy".) He was a "trouper" until the very last day. He truly loved life! Even in his last months he would sniff the grass and have wonderful spurts of energy, running "full bore", panting away with joy! My hopes and dreams are that he always felt and knew my love. I pray that he is with my "Roody" and "Bear Bear" in doggie heaven, as well as "Cabot", with my Dad watching over them, Forever in my heart!!!
Buster, January 1999 - April 18, 2013 Small Cam

You were my best friend Buster boy. We will always hold the memories of your loving manner, gentle puppy ways, unconditional acceptance and support, companionship and your lovely puppy scent. I hope you are safe and happy with no pain or discomfort.
I truly hope you are running in the fields chasing your kong like a puppy! There is a baby cherry tree in the back yard for you....so you'll always know where your home is.
I miss you and love you so much young man... XOXO forever

Buster Fastenau, September 1996 - August 26, 2013 Small Cam

My dearest Buster, it was four months ago today that I lost you.  This was the saddest day of my life and the past four months without you have been unbearable because I miss you so much.  You went through a lot over the past few years but you never let anything get you down and now you are free from your sickness and have peace.

I miss your beautiful, precious face; your big, expressive, eyes looking at me lovingly; your sweet, expressive voice talking to me or calling Taz to play; your love for life, snuggling, playing and eating; your soft, silky, fur nuzzling up against me; and your beautiful, loving personality. 

I miss your waking me up in the morning and leading the treater train down to breakfast, sitting on my desk right next to me while I worked during the day and letting me know when it was lunch time, snuggling with me on the couch at night after dinner, leading me upstairs to bed at night where you waited for your special treat from my nightstand, curling up with me in bed at night, and putting me to sleep with your purring. 

You were the most precious, loving kitty in the world and gave so much love to me, papa, Tazzy and everyone you met.  You were such a great blessing to me and the almost 17 years we had together were the best of my life.  My life will never be the same because of having known you and your love.

I pray every day that you are up in heaven, that you are young and healthy again and have no pain or sickness, get to run and play like you did when you were young, have lots of great toys and friends to play with, have lots of great boxes and lots of newspapers to shred and lay on, have a big fluffy bed and lots of sun to nap in, get to eat whatever you want and however much you want without getting sick, have lots of people loving on you, holding you, petting you, kissing you and telling you how special you are; that they will take care of you until we can be together again.

Papa loves you and misses you terribly too – all the special morning routines you had together.  Tazzy loves you too.  He never knew life without you and he is so sad.  He misses his big brother so terribly much.  I love you with all my heart, my special boy, and always will. You will always mean more to me than anything.  Thank you for all the love and joy you gave me.  I hope you know how much I love you and how special you are to me.   I long for the day when we will be reunited and I can tell you in person how much you mean to me and how much I love you.  Take care until then, my love.

Seven months later (March 11, 2014) - My beloved Buster, it was seven months ago yesterday that I lost you and I cannot tell you how much I miss you and love you.  These months have been so hard for Tazzy and me without you but we have taken care of each other.  But today, I have lost Tazzy too and he is now with you.  My boys can now be reunited and you two can take care of each other.  You can run and play together like you did when you were young, eat together, bathe each other and snuggle up together in a big fluffy bed in the sun.  You were such a great big brother to Tazzy, showed him lots of love, and took care of him and I know you will do that again.  He missed you so terribly much and will be so happy to see you and love on you too.  I long for the day when we will be reunited and I can tell you in person how much you mean to me and how much I love you.  Take care until then, my love.

I Love You,
Mama

You were the one who made me fall in love with the Brittany breed. I will always remember you. You were one great dog!!! Happy hunting, Baby Boy!!!
