I loved you and my heart is broken; of all the
dogs I've loved you Gabe, Grizz, Kye and Sheba are etched in my
heart forever. Gabe the babe you were my best boy.
Gemma Gomez Phd,
02-01-2000 - 10-02-2017
Gemma passed away peacefully 10-02-2017, in my arms with the vet
beside us. She was diagnosed with kidney failure due to a
urinary tract infection in 2012. Gemma held steady for four
(4) years and nine (9) months, but in late September 2017, had not
eaten in at least three (3) days, likely more.
Gemma spent her last night with me, which she never does, perhaps
to say good bye. Gemma retained her true spirit, personality
and breed characteristics (despite being dilute) until her
passing.
Today she traveled to Cat Heaven to be with those who went before
her, being the Great Cat Huntress from her younger and healthy
days. Before Gemma’s illness, she was the protector and
would do ‘sentry duty’ when allowed in the back yard. She
would bolt for the farthest point, then check the perimeter and
only then play with us. Once a neighborhood bully cat, that
rare cat that leaves “deposits” in various yards, entered my back
yard. A friend and I were sitting on my patio and in the
split seconds it took to grab the garden hose, the fight was
over. Gemma’s left back foot was a bit torn and she spent
the night in the Cat Hospital and discharged with ‘good
health’. Later, I learned the neighbor’s cat had passed
away. The bully kitty was a large intact male, Gemma,
a medium spay had been declawed (defenseless!). While I took
no joy in the passing of the bully cat, I was glad Gemma had not
received serious injury.
Gemma lived 6,453 days (we guess her birth date to be 02-01-2000,
she had been abandoned), which is 17 years, eight months and one
day. Still too short of time with her.
Gemma crawled into my heart and found places humans never reach
and leaves a hole in my heart.

Geppy,
Your were the best dog in the whole world. Your were so kind and
gentle and patient and always there for mommy. No matter how
bad my day was, walking in the door and seeing your head pop up
when you heard me come home put the biggest smile on my
face! O i love you and miss you so much, but you need to be
safe and free from having those tumors on your spleen rupture and
cause you a tragic death. I want you to be without pain and
running and playing with all your little friends and someday I
will join you. I love you so much!
Love,
Mommy

Hi Giz, I told you I’d never forget you. It's 11 years tomorrow
that you passed, I had to order that needle, it’s been a burden to
carry. For 2 months after you went to the rainbow bridge I wanted
to die. I knew I couldn't go on like that so I looked and looked
to find a friend just like you, but I couldn't. So I got 2
Siberian huskies and named them Angel and Agnes, sisters. Then a
year later I got another husky named Denali. They are all still
doing great at 11 years old and they saved my life. It took 3
furry friends to replace the emptiness I had. I still yearn for
the time I meet you again at the Rainbow Bridge, but we are going
to have some company. I have never forgotten your habits,
cuddling, kisses, and getting me up in the morning. It seems like
yesterday. I'll love you till the end of time, please forgive me
for the needle. Dad
Grace, January
10 - May 10
I miss you more each day. You brought so
much sunshine to me. You are my best friend but I know your
happy again at RAINBOW BRIDGE. We will meet again my Grace.
Until then my heart is with you. I'll always love you. Kris❤
Greta Barko
Moseley, 12/15/2012 - 12/14/2017
Greta was the best dog to ever live.
She slept on our kids' beds, protected us daily from the mailman
and could run as fast as lightning!! She was a sweet, Amish girl.
We adopted her from a kind Amish couple as a baby. While the Amish
have a reputation as being puppy mill owners, this couple was not
peddling puppies in that way. I'll never forget the golden day in
January when we went out to their farm to see if we wanted the
last female of their two dogs, Cutie Pie and Cattle Bullets'
litter. She never quite got used to technology- She used to try to
assassinate the vacuum cleaner daily and barked at the TV often.
We will miss you, Gratzi. What a great dog you were to us.
Gus, February 24, 2004 - February 25,
2017
Good bye, our Big Guy Gus. We loved every day you spent with
us, enriching our lives with love, laughter, and comfort. We
know that you are over the Rainbow Bridge and are happy, healthy,
and strong, as we will always remember you. We miss your
loving kisses and your LARGENESS, and our home is empty without
you, filled only with tears and memories. We love you with all our
hearts, Big Guy, and we will see you someday soon. Please be
good to Nathan and Scarlet until we get there.
