Fancy, May 8th 1997 - Aug 22 2013 Small Cam

  I miss you Fancy girl. You were my constant companion for over 16 yrs. and my heart is so broken now. I miss you coming in the kitchen every time I cook. I carried you up the stairs every night and back down every morning because you couldn't do it on your own anymore.
I miss you sleeping beside me at night. I miss your sweet face and your wagging tail. Even though you had lost your sight and your hearing you still knew when I was there. I was holding you as you took your last breath and you seemed ready to leave. But I wasn't prepared for the pain of letting you go. Now I can't get used to not taking up upstairs at night and bring you down in the mornings. So now I carry you urn instead. I hope it's beautiful at the bridge and you have no more pain and just happy sunny days. I will love you for eternity and miss you for the rest of my life. You were a wonderful girl.

Fifee, July 1995 - 8/20/2013 Small Cam

Our darling 18'year old Fifee, we miss you so. Uh.  The house is empty without you.  We love you forever and we thank you for choosing us to be your family!
Finnegan, 3-24-2007 - 3-28-2013 Small Cam

In loving memory of my friend Finnegan. You unexpectedly touched my heart and I will always remember you.

First Lady Sadie (Also known as Sadie Girl), November 13, 2001 - August 3, 2013 Small Cam

Sadie was a beautiful black and brown Doberman with a white spot on her chest. She was gentle,loving and very protective of those she loved.
Sadie never forgot she was born a guard dog and was fiercely loyal and protective of all of us. Our hearts are broken at losing Sadie and we know that we have lost our best friend and loyal companion. We will treasure her always for the love and friendship she so willingly gave.
We read the poem that said there is a place called Rainbow Bridge just this side of heaven where beloved precious animals who have been especially close to someone here go when they die. It is our prayer and hope that our Sadie Girl will be there waiting for us and we will walk across the Rainbow Bridge together to meet with all of our loved ones who have gone ahead of us.
Sadie girl, You will always be in our hearts and we promise you we will never forget our beloved Sadie.
Bonnie, George, Mary, Josh, and Oliver, her "Doggie" companion
Flappy, October 2006 - 1/11/2013 Small Cam

My dear Flappy

It's been a couple of months already since you crossed the rainbow bridge, and not a day has gone by without me thinking of you and getting tear-eyed. At moments when I close my eyes at night, it feels like you were never gone. I see you cute face, with you little pink nose and beautiful eyes...I can still hear you purr, chirp... I reminisce all those good memories I have of you, especially you 'making biscuits' on my tummy or my back in the mornings. I can't describe in words how special you are to me. You (and Greta) were the first pets I was fully responsible of as an adult. My children. You were such a cute, unique little kitty. Just seeing you play, and act so goofy would automatically bring a smile to my face. I have seen so many other cats, and not one is similar to you. Your personality was so lovable, and incomparable. You were such a classy, delicate, but funny little lady. Oh! how many nicknames we gave you, just because there wasn't just one way to describe you!   You did not deserve to get ill. Your heart was so great, I still don't understand why you had to suffer from a heart condition.
My baby, I wish I would have been more knowledgeable, more aware that you were getting seriously ill, but you hid it until it was too late. It was frustrating for me to not be able to afford all the treatment. Any mistake I made taking care of you, it was not intentional. You seemed a pretty healthy kitty, and when you finally showed serious signs, it was already too late.  You were only 6; you still had many years ahead of you. I really wish I would have been able to do more for you. I know you loved outdoors, and when we moved into this apartment, you missed the freedom you used to have to go outside. I always wanted to find a better place to live. When daddy and I would look at potential houses, the first thing I would check out was the backyard, to imagine you and your sister playing there, eating grass, and exploring just like you loved to. I am sorry I was not able to give you that before you died. When the time comes and I have a garden, you will have a very special place there for sure.
Needless to say, I miss you terribly, I see you everywhere I go...I would do anything just to be able to have a little more time with you, my little lady baby. I love you so much, Flappy. Hope one day, I will be able to rub your belly again and show you all the love my heart feels for you day by day.
Fleur, 12/29/2009 - 10/09/2013 Small Cam

In memory of Fleur, a wonderful, beautiful rabbit who graced my life for nearly four years, who was much loved by Slyupsy and Bugs, and who left this world much too soon but is now in a better place with her long-lost friend.  Run forever free now, my little friend, never to experience fear again.  I love you and I miss you.

Florida, 18 years - 02/28/2013 Small Cam

Florida, we miss your presence already. You were a gentle and sensitive kitty. The way you head butted us for attention has not been copied by any of our other cats. We will miss that so much.  You went out of this life on your terms in a place in the house that you loved the most.  We wish we could have been with you when you passed but work got in the way.  I hope you know how much you were loved and will be missed.  It is too painful to keep typing and can't see through the tears, but this tribute had to be made. Because Flo, you deserve this tribute for all the love and fun you have given us over the years.  Here's to you Flo, may you be with God and all of our other pets who have passed. Say Hi to Mama, Twerp, Max and Ditto. Be patient little ones, we will all be together someday.

Paula FitzGerald and Bill Goldman.
Fluffy AKA Sonny Boy, 03/29/98 - 07/16/13 Small Cam

Your Mommies were so grateful that you blessed our lives for 15 years and 3 months. Any love we gave you pales, based on what you gave us in return. You will live within us for eternity and we will always remember and love you. You were always the perfect little boy for us!
Fluffy, April 1988

My husband retired from the Army after 27 years and we came to CA to see if we wanted to settle here.  We rented a house that had a cat attached.  The people had left in the night and left the dog and cat in the garage.  The man who owned the house took the dog home but the cat would not leave so he would cross the valley each day to feed and water the cat and fixed a pet door so she could go into the garage.  We were grieving the loss of our Basset Hound Chrissy and fell in love with this large, long haired white Persian with the black marks here and there.  This girl hated women and would only tolerate my husband and son.

As in many modern houses the washer and dryer were outside the kitchen door in the garage.  When I would have my back to the garage loading the washer Fluffy would come out of nowhere and bite my ankles!  I had made up my mind to make a lap cat out of her so I would sing and just ignore her as much as possible.  She would also attack me if I touched a broom.  I could only suspect that the woman before me had chased her with a broom, poor baby.

It took about two weeks of ignoring her and she stopped biting me.  I kept on singing and ignoring and one day she jumped up on to the dryer and sat and looked at me.  I ignored her.  After that it was her perch whenever  I did laundry.  One day she reached over and touched my hand.  I held still and let her smell and pat.  That day I moved her food dishes into the kitchen and she came in and ate her dinner in the house for the first time.  My husband said she would never use a litter pan, but she did. and from that day she was inside the house anytime she wanted to come in and slept next to my bed in a lovely wicker basked.

We bought a house and moved to the High Desert and because of the coyotes Fluffy became a house only cat and my lap cat.  We worked all day and I'm sure she missed us.  She could hardly wait till the evening when I would sit down so she could cuddle for a while.  Then she would go down the hall and help my son do his homework.

The years past and my son moved away from home and Fluffy grew old, her doctor thought about nineteen years and had kidney problems.  We had to say goodbye to our lovely friend who had had such a bad beginning to her life.  But we did our best to make her years with us loved and pampered. 

So Fluffy, play and have fun with all our other furry babies we have had and rub Poppy's ankles.  Know that I loved you with all my heart and miss you to this day.  One day I pray we will meet at the Rainbow Bridge.  Love, Mommy 
Forrest, May 14, 2001 - Oct 25, 2013  Small Cam

I loved my simple sweet Forrest with all my heart. I will miss the way he would tap on you to pet him or how he would burrow himself in a blanket. I would always look for the lump under the cover and place my hand on it just to hear him coo back. He never really purred and we would just say his purred box is broken. Every year no matter how many times he did it, he would run into the screen to try and catch a hummingbird after the feeders were place outside the window when the weather would get nice. Now we have placed you by the heater were you liked to curl up to in the winter time and when the nice weather rolls around again I will place you by the window where the hummingbird feeders will be.
Francis, Summer 1997 - 6/4/13

Dearest Francis - we were meant to be together. And how lucky we were to have such a brave soul in our lives. I will never know what happened to you in your early days but I will forever be thankful that I was compelled to take the little kitten with broken legs and a broken heart into our home for a new beginning. I remember your sweet self learning to trust us and welcoming more four-legged friends into the family - and then eventually with a mix of curiosity and trepidation, making room in your heart too for little hands of another sort. I will forever think of you basking in the sunshine. You were so beautiful. Always. I loved watching you play - it warmed my heart to see you come out of your shell and be free from your past. I know there were many times I may have seemed too busy, but please know that I loved that you always rested by my side and sought a lap when you could snag one. Wise beyond your fur, you always seemed to understand. I admire your strength and determination over the last several months as your body fought a battle it couldn't win. Your sweetness never wavered. I hope you know how much you were loved, and I pray you have found peace. You have been an important part of the family for almost 16 years. Rest well my sweet friend. And I hope now you are truly flying free.
FRANK STEWARD, JUNE 11, 2010 - APRIL 17, 2013 Small Cam

My Dearest Frank, it was love at first sight when we met, you stood out from all the other cats.  You walked over to me jumped into my lap and took a nap. I held you for about 20 minutes. You made me feel a peace I had not felt since I lost my dear Ebony Brown. Although you could not replace him you had a special way of capturing my heart. You were so sweet and loving and I looked forward to coming home to your affection and playfulness. I'm glad you finally had a family that love and adored you. You were there for Winnie in her time of sorrow and the two of you loved to play. Winnie will miss you dearly. I will always treasure the time we had together and forever cherish your memory. You will not be alone, Samantha, fluffy and Ebony Brown will watch over you.
God Bless you
Rest in Peace my dear Prince Frank, until we met again.
Love Mommy Eva
Freedom  Freddy  Freeman, May 1. 2002 - 6/23/13 Small Cam

3 weeks ago Freedom Freddy crossed over the Rainbow Bridge !

He was my Famly, my only family, except for a cousin here and there!

I got freedom in 2003 , he was abused , lived in a cage 24/7 owners never found time for him, his name was Raisan he was a Shih-Tzu black & White ! He was a Character , Funny , & Lovable !
 As soon as i rescued him  First To the Vets for Health check-up, than to the Groomer to look so handsome and than  i changed his name to "Freedom"  never to be Caged again!
 Its only a little more than 3 weeks, I am still in Shock and devistated ! He had a few Health Problems but, nothing that would have killed him!
 One day while talking to a neighbor i saw freedom eatting grass near my home , so i pulled him away ! But, little did i know the Exterminators had just sprayed all around my house ( i had an Ant Problem)The exterminater was to come into my house firse before spraying so i can show him where the location of the Ant infestation was!With in 2 days my Dog Died! I am 62 years old and i am Broken over my Loss! I wanr so Badly to get another Shelter/ Rescue Dod to give hin/her a Good , Healthy & Loving home!But, i no  longer have help from a Friend who paid all his Nedical Bills,and living on a SSDI  Check does not allow me to pay for his meds & steep Vet Bills if the dog got sick! I have such a Void in my Life as well as Heart Broken ! I can never replace my Freedom but, another dog will take the Edge off , Right now i am living on the Edge!
I just want to give an Unwanted Dog a second Chane at Life , in return the dog will give me a reason to go on!All i want is to make a sheltered dog happy,I live in Wellfleet, Cape Cod Ma!
Are Their any Organizations or People that can donate medical Expenses If Needed?
