Mr. Boy,
My heart is broken without you. You were my best friend,
and you were the light of my life. I watched your eyes open
into this world when you were just a baby, and was forever
transformed by the magic that dwelled in you. Whispering
in your ear as your heart stopped beating was singularly the
most beautiful and devestating moments in my life. I hope you
knew I was there with you. You gave my life immeasurable
depth. hope I see you again my sweet little man. I
love you fiercely and eternally.

Barney, my big boy best friend. I love you
and miss you so very much. I did not expect to lose you
that day. You were doing so well with chemo and every
thing you were put though. I am sorry you went through so
much and did not win the fight. Barney your chair remains
empty and nothing is the same without you. My heart is
broken and I will never stop loving you. Be free of pain
and suffering my sweet boy. Your family loves and misses
you so much. Until we meet again, we love you our sweet
boy. Daddy, Mommy, Alicia an Branden, Michael and Lorena,
Jackie, Bella and Willy.

Baxter boy I loved you the first time I saw your face! I had to
have you. I should say you had me! I miss our walks
and playing ball everyday. Playing hide and seek with your
treats. You were the best boy I ever had and to replace you
will be impossible. I knew someday you would leave me and I
could take it because I loved and cared for you the best I could.
But really you took care of me. Now I am lost without you. I
miss your little feet walking down the hall everyday. My tears
will someday stop but my beautiful memories of you will never. We
both loved you you were our Best Boy! Love You xoxo

Bella, my beautiful Golden girl. Saying goodbye to you was the
saddest day of my life. My heart is breaking every minute of every
day. You were my heart, my soul, my life. You gave my life
meaning. You were with me every step of the way during the most
important chapter of my life, one that included loss of parents,
extended family, as well as new family members which were to be
your human cousins. You came into my world at just 7 weeks old and
oh my how darling you were just a little fluffball of love and
joy. We picked each other out. I knew I wanted a girl - you were
the only one who came right to me, but I would always laugh
because you gravitated towards everyone and everyone loved you. We
bonded instantly even though we quite often argued over which one
of us was going to be the pack leader...we both always wanted
control, each thinking we knew what was right, even though more
times than not you were the one in the right. We became
inseperable partners in life. Through you I have met so many
wonderful people, through you I have walked such beautiful parts
of the earth that I never would have known existed if not for you.
How we loved our adventures. My darling puppy Bella you would love
to paw and catch the bubbles from your human cousins when we all
got together. You would love to come everywhere with me just being
on my lap as we drove around to puppy classes and Doggie stores
and parks, lakes, beaches and trails. It didn't matter with us, as
long as we were together. As challenges arose in life it was you
who kept me sane, never wanting to leave my side but respectfully
letting me go out when you instinctively knew I had to. You knew
your presence was crucial to me as my presence was for you. For
you would sacrifice a fun time if you knew I was sick even though
neighbors and friends would try and take you out if I could not.
If we couldn't be together and share the same experiences in life
there was no point.
We got you certified as a Service Dog so we could see Daddy in the
hospital when he was sick. I took you to nursing homes where you
gave so much joy to so many. You came with us on Ferry boats, to
hotels, restaurants, and malls where people treated you like
royalty. We even took you to NYC...quite different than our nature
trails but we were together and that's all that mattered. You rode
the Big Bus all around town, we walked through Central Park where
you chased the squirrels, to the Twin Towers where you proudly
went into Service Dog mode and the sadness on the faces of
those who walked through would instantly smile seeing your beauty
and calm. On 4th of July you would come with us to a beautiful
spot on Cape Cod where we would bring our chairs and blankets. You
felt so calm because you were blanketed in the happiness of all
those around you. You found joy in such simple things in life. How
you loved to gently fish in the lakes, how you would run like a
racehorse on the beach chasing the birds, thinking that they were
having a race with you, chasing the blowing leaves in the fall or
in the snow. You would love giving yourself backrubs on the sand
or beach. You loved every human that crossed your path either
turning over so you could get belly rubs or siting so they could
stroke you majestically. Then when you saw I needed to relax you
would literally force me to relax, to be still. And how you loved
your TV shows. You loved the Discovery Chanel, Dr Jack Hannah, but
your all time favorite was Americas Funniest Videos. You would
watch their antics and then watch me. Concern was all over your
face when you saw people getting hurt. I would tell you they were
just being silly and you would then smile. You loved watching
doggie videos on the tablet, Beach Dog Boogie, Happy Dogs Running
on the Beach & your very favorite Happy Dogs in Australia.
Even if you heard it playing through the speakers you would go
searching to see where it was coming from. For your 11th
birthday I bought you your own tablet. People laughed, but how you
loved it. You overcame so much with your health...you battled Lyme
twice, cancer twice, and you always came through with flying
colors. Your will was so strong....you never ever complained, you
just accepted it. But hey, with the gourmet meals you ate every
night why would you complain? We turned med time into appetizer or
desert time...I called it goat cheese balls with blueberries time,
or Bone de Broth. I made your homemade meals every night while you
would patiently watch, noting every ingredient added. Then as
mommy and daddy ate their dinner I would always make sure we had a
little something for you. you would take gentle graceful bites
from your special fork as you stared gratefully into my eyes.
Every ritual was special..I would sing 'this is the way we brush
our teeth, we brush our teeth we brush our teeth, this is the way
we brush our teeth every single day.' You always had the sweetest
breath. You always maintained that sweet milky puppy breath. Your
whole being was so sweet inside and out. Intelligence, good looks,
compassion, friendliness, and good intuition were some of your
many attributes...you were the Perfect Dog. My Baba, my
Mama, my Boo Boo, my Bell Bell , my Bellaboo, my Baby, Mommys
baby...my life. I prayed every night for you to have a long
healthy life, and gave thanks for all we had. You departed this
earth with the true grace and class that so defined you, my
Beautiful Golden Girl Bella. I will love and miss you til the day
I de and pray your beautiful face is the first thing I see when I
go to heaven. My life will then be complete once again. Rest in
Peace my beautiful Angel Bella...I am with you always.

Lauren, January and April 2008 to 1/24/2019 and 01/04/2018
Benny and Lauren were adopted on the same day and were brother and
sister but not the same breed. They were rescued from the
same home.
I loved them both dearly and am heartbroken with their passing a
year apart.
they are forever in my heart.

Bogart, June 14,
2007 - July 18, 2019
Bogart was my entire world. From the very first day that I walked
into the Humane Society and saw him sitting quietly in the corner
while all the pups around him jumped and barked, I knew he was
coming home with me. It was strongly suggested to me by the Humane
Society not to choose him because he had behavioral issues and
would take a lot of work, but I insisted.
Bogart- You were my companion for 12 years. We lived in four
houses, visited nearly every province in Canada, you flew on a
plane, rode on a boat, and drove across the country. Your pug
brother loved you for his entire life. Until now, he has never
spent more than a week without you.
You were challenging and difficult at times, but my life was
challenging and difficult too, and yet you were one constant. A
rock, my protector. You never complained, right until the end, so
much so that you gave me very few signs that your time was coming
to an end. You were gone less than three hours after I raced you
to the vet, but you gave me just long enough to say goodbye.
I doubt I will ever have a dog like you again. I joked that you
might as well have spoken English because I knew exactly what you
were trying to say. I promised you I would never abandon you and I
would never give up on you. Thank you for giving me the honor of
having you in my life Bogart, I will always love you.

My Bonnie Jewel, You can in my life to help heal a broken heart
and then you stole my heart when I was looking. I will
forever love and miss you. You were only here for a little
while, and you had so many health issues. For nearly 8
years, you have brought me so much laughter, happiness, and
love. I will be forever lost without you. As a very
young dog you got a cataract, next a fatty tumor that had to be
removed, then a herniated disk, SARDS (at the age of 6), and then
lymphoma at the age of 7 1/2. You survived all but the
cancer. SARDS - becoming suddenly blind with no reason and
no cure was hard for me, but you my sweet girl adapted so well.
I am going to miss you beating up your little brother who out
weighed you by 12lbs and you were only 2 days older than
him. I will miss playing ball with you, which you could even
play fetch as a blind dog. I will miss you guarding your
stuffed toys and taking Brinkley's toys away from him, even blind
you could do this. I will always remember how you loved to
go traveling and all of our road trips in the camper. I will
miss dressing you up and grooming you. I will miss your
beautiful brown eyes and most of all how you loved belly
rubs. You could never get enough belly rubs.
I now pray that you are in heaven with my Mother and with my
Bailey (your older brother). I am sure that Bailey is
teaching you how to play bubbles and that you have already
mastered this art.
By now you have probably meet my grandmother, Bonnie Jewel, who in
her memory I named you after, see how much I loved you!
Braden, Jackson, and Isabelle will miss you very much.
Jackson cried all weekend because you were sick. When you
stopped eating, I knew the cancer had won, and I had no choice but
to help you. I feel in my heart that you asked me on Monday
night to help you that you took all they you could take.
I will take comforting in my faith and in hope that you now can
see and that you are with my Mother and Bailey waiting for me to
join you some day in the kingdom of heaven where there is no
sorrow, pain, or death.
I love you Bonnie Jewel, please visit me in my dreams, so I will
know that you are okay.
Roger loves you too, and he will miss you very much. I could
tell that he had a hard time too, letting you go. We decided
not to be selfish by keeping you here, we could see that you were
suffering and that you wanted us to help you.
God spelled backwards is dog, a gift to man.
I love you Bonnie Jewel, forever in your Momma's heart.
Buddy, May 2008 - 29 August 2019
My beautiful fur cat baby. You and your twin Holly,
came into my life when I was all alone. You turned
darkness into light for 11 years. I am so sorry that your
last 8 months were difficult due to the vets misdiagnosing your
illness and causing you to have heart and liver failure with the
wrong medication they gave you. I pray, sweet baby boy, you
are free from pain now and back to your beautiful
self. I miss you so much but know that your spirit is still
around and that one day I will be with you again. I made
this tribute video for you my darling boy. Love you always
xx
My darling fur cat baby, Buddy. Oh you were so aptly named
by the Cats Protection that I adopted you and your twin
sister Holly from. You were everyone's buddy.
You loved everyone and everyone loved you. You brought
me so much joy and you gave what I had been missing, you
gave me unconditional love. These past 8 months have been
so hard for you. The vets misdiagnosed you and gave
you the wrong treatment which caused you to have
heart failure and liver failure. I truly wish I could turn
back the clock and choose a different vet.
My darling boy, I miss you so much, that it hurts to
breathe. The house seems so empty and I keep looking up
expecting you to be there. Holly is not herself and has kept
to our bedroom.
My baby boy I know you are no longer in pain, and that you're
beautiful spirit is now on Rainbow Bridge, where you will meet
Timmy, Gunner and Tonto, my previous fur cat babies. I
know you will all love each other and play till it is my and
Holly's time to join you.
Till then sweet, baby boy, know that not a day will go
by without me thinking of you, missing you, and loving
you.
Love always, Mummy and your twin Holly XX
