Macabie, 02/22/85-08/04/97

Our special little guardian angel,

Your job is finally done here.
You will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
Be happy at the bridge and we will see you there one day.

We miss you so, and love you always
Mum and Dad

Mack, 10/4/83-3/31/97

To My Dear Mack, You were my best friend for over thirteen years. You were there to help me through the bad times. I am having a hard time without you. Although my heart aches terribly, I know that you are safe and happy. Remember to be a good boy. One day I will come find you and I promise to bring a tennis ball.
I will always love you,

Ann Marie.


MacKenzie (Puppy), 12/14/94-12/3/96

She was ours to love for almost 2 years. She gave us so much more than she asked of us. She loved me unconditionally.
The house is so quiet, and I look for her everywhere.

She was spayed last Wednesday, chewed into her incision and after surgery died in the night on December 3.

I have cried until my eyes are swelled. I am so sad. Our kids want another dog...I can't think about it, but the silence at home is deafening. Goodbye, Puppy...our good girl.

Karen Fraser


Mackie, 2/13/89-6/20/96

Rest in peace beloved Mackie. You are now free of earthly pain and ill health. We will always remember you as you were, a dashing coal black little dog, loving, energetic, full of antics and mischief, proud and yes a little vain too (especially when you had a new collar or haircut or Mom put a neckerchief on you), endearing to all who met you. You were a very very special Scottie who taught us the joy and constancy of unconditional love and we miss you desperately. Rest in peace. You were my angel boy on earth and will always be my angel in heaven. Run with the wind, fling and shake your playthings, lounge in the sun, chase the birds. You'll never be forgotten, we have many, many memories. Love from Shannon, Les and young master Blaine - you were his "brother" and he misses you so much he can't even speak of your passing. Watch over him from heaven

Shannon Coughlin


Maestoso Perlona, 11/24/85

In Memorium
Farewell my beloved friend and protector...I shall never cease to mourn your passing...Even time will not lessen the deep abiding emptiness with you not softly nickering your morning greetings...
Farewell for now, heart of my heart...some darksome night I will join You...Then we shall run like the wind...over fields and hills...to gallop higher than the stars...across Bifrost Bridge to that perfect summerland...
For now, I may only touch your proud shade in my dreams...I know You wait for me.

Mary McDaniel


Maggie, 10/81

Maggie was my first beagle type dog. I found her cowering in a hedge at a freeway rest area. She had been abandoned, and was afraid to get in the car. I finally coaxed her into the car, but when we got home she was afraid to get out. Thereafter, she would not get into the car until I did, and would not get out until I did. Her playfulness and affection sealed my love for beagles. She entertained the neighbors with her antics -- alone, with other dogs, with children, and, yes, even with me. We played at the river side together, and visited plantations in Louisiana together, and just enjoyed riding in the car touring around the countryside and stopping to play in fields and at beaches. She made friends everywhere, but she always remained at my side. She taught me most of the things I know about being a responsible pet owner, even at the end when she was struck down by a car. I lost her then, but the lesson has remained. I can still picture her brown nose, and the brown mascara-like markings around her eyes, and that incredibly long tongue which she used to show her moods: hungry, loving, tired, playful. Maggie has now met Meghann and Nick at the Rainbow Bridge, and they are undoubtedly romping joyously together. With the loss of each beagle the emptiness grows larger within, but the new beagle lives which comfort and sustain keep that emptiness warm. I love you Maggie, and will see you again when we all meet at the Bridge and go thank God face to face for each other.

Maggie, 12/6/97

Babycakes, we miss you so much that the pain hurts.
Always remember that we love you very much and you will forever remain in our hearts.

Love,
Mommy & Daddy


Maggie, 08/28/97

Dear Maggie,
We all miss you. We're sorry that we never got the chance to say good-bye to you. Things just aren't the same without you crawling into our laps and beds to sleep, and dipping your paw into our water for a drink. Floppy misses her mom, and has become our bed buddy. We'll always love and remember you.

Love, Steph Cassie Rachel


Maggie, 8/29/88-10/23/97

The baby of our little family. So full of life and joy every moment of her short life. She is joining her sister Sheba. We are anxiously awaiting to see them again at Rainbow Bridge.

Stu and Annie Vosk


Maggie, 11/85-9/26/97

I'm sending you to play with Jason. Please tell him I love him since I never had the chance that last night. We all were with you on your last evening with us and you know how we loved you and you knew we were with you till the end.

Beverly Knepshield


Maggie, 9/20/92-9/4/97

For the World's GREATEST Great Dane! I will miss her very much.

Staci Robertson


Maggie, 01/16/96-08/14/97

Maggie was rescued by us on March 3, 1997. Her time with us was short but in that short time she touched us all very deeply. She will be especially missed by our 3 year old Nicky. He asks where she is often. I know she will be waiting for us at the bridge. I hope she finds a special friend to wait with as she didn't like being alone!

We miss you Maggie!!!

Robert Scheffler


Maggie, 05/13/85-01/08/97

To my beloved Maggie, You made this world a wondrous place. You lived and loved each and everyday to the fullest. I hope I gave you back what you gave me. One day we will be together again doing what we both do best, loving. You'll always be in my heart and part of my soul. I know you'll be waiting patiently for my return to our maker. Until then, Love, Mom

Margaret Garcia


Maggie, 12/1/96-1/9/97

Annie and I miss you Maggie. Our hearts are heavy and our sorrow cannot be consoled. Go over the bridge, Maggie, we will let you go now. Send us a rose. Love, Mamma and Annie, your sister.

Lee Leier


Maggie Mae

To Maggie Mae, who passed too soon. Always love you.

Joan Samuelson


Maggie May, 4/1/84-10/23/96

Maggie was a good dog, not a great dog, but just right for us. She loved to snatch sandwiches off the table when we weren't looking and nearly drowned herself trying to drink from a freshly flushed toilet. She knew to go into the shower to throw up..usually after eating a sock or pencil or something. She waited for me when I was out and checked on me periodically when I was in another room. Sang "happy birthday" with us on birthdays and cheered for the Redskins with us. She will be missed by Me, Brad, and our three kids: William, Elaine, and Caroline.

Jennifer Davy


Magic, 03/30/91

Words cannot express how much we enjoyed you. We know you are at Rainbow Bridge with all the other cats that have been in the family. See you someday.

Lynn and Brian


Magic (Mulder), 05/21/97-08/10/97

Dear Mulder, I love you. I like you. One day I will bring you some bones to the Rainbow Bridge when I come to meet you. You made me a very happy little girl the short time you were with me. Please tell my brother that I will be with him one day and that I love him too. You will always be in my heart right next to Matt-Matt's special place. Mommy and Daddy miss you too. Mommy worried about you so much the night you got sick and she didn't mind staying up to take care of you. I cried so much when Mommy told me that you went to be an Angel with my brother. You rest in peace and always remember that you are in my heart.

Love, Kaity


Magic, 5/16/89-7/23/97

He wasn't just a pet, he was family. We love and miss you Buddy.

John & Kathy Davis


Magnum P.I., 10/26/97

Thank you Lord for giving Magnum to us for these 15 years even though he was very sick he fought to the end.
Magnum gave my family and I so much joy over the years and was always a source of peace in the hard times.
I'll sure miss you little guy, every hour of every day of every week of every year till I see you again.
This world will be so lonesome without you.
I know now that your liver disease isn't making you suffer any longer neither is the pain of your arthritis.
You have been my best friend for these 15 years always loyal and never leaving my side.
It hurt so much to have to put you to sleep, but I know it is the biggest help that we could have been to you.
God Bless you little brother

Robert Wilson


Maizey, 10/13/97

Major - I love you and miss you. I know in my heart that your suffering is now over and you are young and happy again. You will live forever in my heart.

Susann


Major, 02/23/74-11/20/87

My greatest and best of friends, who never laughed at me, humiliated or shamed me, but was always there, through Elementary, middle, high school and my first marriage. I miss my puppy duppy. Goodbye, maj-pup. I hope you and my dad are together and either of you no longer hurt.

Beth Witt


Malachi, 04-23-97

Malachi, my beloved friend. You were taken away from this world so young. I still cannot understand it but I am hoping you are in a happy place with no pain. You were my friend - the one who would be there no matter what happened. You were there to snuggle with, to sit on my lap, to follow me from room to room. I remember how we would sit close, watching TV and how we would play chase. You are so very special to me and I will keep your memory alive and your love alive in my heart. I do not think I will ever find another feline friend as good as you. You never broke or destroyed anything. Your purr calmed all of my fears. Everywhere I look as I sit here alone - I am reminded of the joy and delight you brought to my life. We had such a special bond that can never be broken. I feel so lost without you here but I know you are watching over me wherever you may be. I miss you terribly and love you with all my heart. Thank you for being the sunshine in my life for the past seven months. You were the best and there will never be another like you. I will always love you. Love, Maria

It was not fair you were taken so young.
But onto the rainbow bridge you must run.
You left me with so many happy memories,
And to my heart you hold the key.

You stood by me through the smiles and the tears,
Your little motor purr calmed all of my fears.
Your handsome face, my pride and joy,
You were my special, little, baby boy

I hope you know that you were the best,
And your heart and soul are now at rest.
I know you are now at peace, so I must say goodbye,
One day we will meet again, my precious, precious Malachi.

Maria L. Lucchetti


Malcolm, 07/01/97

My sweet little Malcolm. My sweet little Flat Rabbit. I miss you so much. You gave so much, and asked so little. And you fought so hard for life.

I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry that there was nothing we could do that would heal you. I didn't know what a broken heart was until that day we had to let you go.

I miss you so much. I got your ashes last night... leaving you there that night was so hard. I have some of your fur so I can remember just how soft you were.

Scott misses you, too. He was there with me, crying as we watched you leave us to go to the Rainbow Bridge.

And Presto misses you, too. I'm so glad you two got to have your final romp together.

I just can't believe you're gone. I keep looking for your little nose to peek around the hay bin. And I still say goodnight to you every night. Can you hear me? Goodnight Mocha and Hermes, Goodnight Presto... goodnight Malcolm. I love you. Goodnight Chester and Petunia.

You gave so much. It's hard to believe that you weren't even with us for a year. I loved petting you... you so adored being ""flattened""... I loved starting at your nose and having you completely flat by the time I reached your tail. I've been so afraid that there wouldn't be someone to flatten you at the Bridge.

Thank you, sweetheart. Thank you, my little MalcolmRabbit for all the love you gave. Thank you for everything, baby. My Little Guy.

Please please please be happy. I miss your binkies. And I love you so much.

Never forgotten, baby. never never never forgotten, my little MalcolmRabbit.

I love you.

Liz


Mama Cat, 4/23/97

Feline leukemia took your short life, precious mama. We miss you.

Mandy, 01/07/96-10/10/97

Mandy you will forever shine in our hearts.
For the short time you were with us you brought us laughter, shown us love and have left an imprint on our hearts.
You touched many people that hardly knew you.
We are missing you so much. We love you!

John, Vicki, Justin


Mandy, 9/8/82-9/18/97

Beloved Mandy left for a better place this past Thursday. As I sit writing this the tears are flowing and I wonder if indeed time will heal this terrible sorrow I feel. Mandy came to us as a eight week old puppy--the day remains in my heart as to the joy we felt when we welcomed her into our life. She was my constant companion, my best friend who was always there to give me a kiss when she felt I needed it. The joy she brought to us--kids, grandkids will never be forgotten. She was always the protector of us all....
God has given you peace Mandy--enjoy your stay at the Rainbow Bridge and know that one day we will all be together again....thanks for 15 years of wonderful companionship and unconditional love....we will never forget you

Carol and Dick
(Mommy and Daddy)


Mandy

There was never a finer friend and companion than Mandy. She brought love and joy to my dad, Baxter Bailey, for years before he died. And she was to bring many more years of happiness to my mother, Virginia Bailey, before she went on to the Rainbow Bridge. We all hope Mandy and my dad are reunited in pure love and joy without pain. We miss her terribly!

Faye Combs


Mandy, 6/3/96

Please remember my dear sweet wonderful Border Collie, Mandy "Digger Dog" who left for the Bridge 1 year ago June 3,1996.Mandy met We will always miss you and love you Mandy. You are still special in our hearts.

Love Mom, Mike, Dennis, Grandma, the Smitten Kittens, Nermal, Fenster, Turbo and Zak your big buddy.

Always my little girl, forever in my heart.

Mandy, 7/14/96

For a little white cat who loved & was loved by Perkey & Gunner Bills

(An Old Hebrew Prayer)

I will consider this cat For she is the servant of the Living God duly and daily serving Him For at the first glance of the glory of God in the East she worships in her way.

For this is done by wreathing her body seven times Round with elegant quickness. For then she leaps up to catch the musk, which is the blessing of God upon her prayer For having done this, and received blessing she begins to consider herself.

First, she looks upon her forepaws to see if they are clean Secondly, she kicks up behind to clear away there For thirdly, she works it upon stretch with forepaws extended and sharpens her claws.

She washes himself And she rolls upon the wash She rubs herself against the post And looks up for her instructions.

She goes in quest for food For having consider'd God and herself she will Consider her neighbor.

If she meets another cat she will kiss in kindness When she takes her prey, she plays with it to give it a chance. For when her day's work is done, her business properly begins.

For she keeps the Lord's watch in the night against the adversary. She counteracts the powers of darkness by her electrical skin and glaring eyes. For she counteracts the Devil, who is death, by brisking about the life.

In the morning she loves the sun and the sun loves her. For hers is the Tribe of the Tiger. For the Cherub Cat is the Angel Tiger.

She is an instrument for the children to learn benevolence again For every house is incomplete without her For the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Cats at the departure of the Children of Israel from Egypt For every family had one cat at least in the bag.

I bless this cat For the Divine Spirit that comes about her body

Her ears so acute, they sting at the sound of hypocrisy In stroking her, I perceive God's light of life and fire that He sends from Heaven to sustain man and beast.


Mandy, 6/3/96

The best pupperdoo we ever had. You're running free on all four legs, Chasing those bunnies and squirrels. I'm sure you're being gentle with those fur baby kittens--just like you were with our orphans Mollie and Magoo. Zak misses his playmate. I still see you running ahead of us on the path to heaven like you always ran ahead of us in the woods-- they'll always be your woods, you're always there. We all miss you desperately, Daddy, Mike , Grandma....I'm sorry you had to leave us by yourself, but my spirit was with you, and so was your angel. I love you with all my heart.

Mommy Cookie.


Mandy's Little Angel, 10/15/96-10/15/96

My Mandy's Little Angel died before she ever had a chance to take a breath in this world. She was stillborn due to Placental Separation in the womb two hours before she was born. For half an hour, until the next puppy started coming, my sister and I worked to bring her back to no avail and it broke my heart to feel that lifeless little body laying in my hands. But what was worse was seeing my Mandy jump out of her whelping box to look for her baby. It's something I'll see in my mind's eye for the rest of my life.

While trying to give birth to Mandy's Little Angel my Mandy very nearly went to the Bridge with her daughter as well and, as soon as the three other puppies were weaned, I had her spayed.

Be well and play hard, my Little Angel, until that day when I join you at Rainbow Bridge. Rainbow Bridge *** such a beautiful place to have taken your first breath at..............................

Carol Nagy


Maple, 9/22/92

You dance the edges of splintered sunlight
the glow of red wheat
shattering the rays
each step
a hymn to life-
a song of joy

Heidi Doherty


Mara, 1/28/97-3/15/97

Mara my darling baby Guinea Pig!! You were but 6 weeks old when you escaped from your cage. You had never escaped before, why did you do it on Saturday? Why did you do it outside instead of inside where I could have scooped you up and laughed at your independence?
Why didn't I hear you scream when whatever it was scared you so much that you were taking your last breaths when I found you? I will forever be sorry that I took you out that morning to graze and that I didn't check on you earlier to find you happily munching away in the vegetable garden. I can only be glad that while you lived you knew what love, cuddles and good food were. I thank you for being a part of my life and will love you always.

Love, Karen, your Mum Ariel & sisters Elf and Chocolate


Marblecake, 6/19/97

I honor Marblecake and am honored that she graced my life for 12 years. She was a compassionate soul who always thought of others, reached out and loved them. She had grace, and dignity. But mostly she is the most magical being I have ever encountered and she certainly worked her magic on me. I wish to thank Marblecake for all that she taught me, for loving me unconditionally, and for allowing me to love her as I did, with all my heart and soul. She lives forever in my heart and I miss her terribly. Bast bless you my dear sweet cakes who was the truest source of love and joy I have ever known. It has been a great honor and privilege that you should have chosen to share your life with me. I cherish you and hold you in my heart. good-bye my dear sweet friend. please don't mind my tears. I mean you no irreverence for your journey. it's just that being apart from you is so painful, even though I know you are with me in spirit. please come and visit anytime. and in your next life, feel free to come and find me, for I would love to have you with me again. godess bless you Marblecake, my sweetness.

Donna Greco


Marcellus, 9/25/97

Marcellus was the sweetest, most intelligent, loving, caring dog in the world, and we've been devastated by her tragic loss at such a young age. Please remember her in your thoughts and prayers...

Amy and Derek Van Ostrand-Fakehany


Marco

Marco was the best buddy I could ever have asked for - he was with me all the time. I never went anyplace without him. He was sick and I couldn't stand to see him suffer any more - it was time for him to be with his friend Candy and I know that now he is happy and not feeling bad any more.
May the Lord bless all the animals. All they want is to be loved. Marco, you were loved and will always be in my heart.

Margarita, 5/1/97

A very fine cat indeed.

Cathy, Jenny and Becky


Mariah, 08/23/96

Mariah was a dog rescued from the tough side of town who had a heart of gold. I only had her a year and a half but she leaves a big empty space at the foot of the bed and in my heart. Wait for me, Mariah, at the Bridge.

Julie Benson


Marius, 8/18/97

Marius came to us a dirty, skinny, matted stray. We took him in and in the last year he had become a loving, playful, chubby kitty full of life. He was the perfect companion for our 4 year old tuxedo cat - keeping him busy and entertained. Yesterday we lost Marius unexpectedly. We know his last year was full of happiness and love, and can't wait to see him at the Rainbow Bridge.

Mr and Mrs Hughey and brother Romeo


Marley, 05/95-02/12/97

Marley, gentle soul who I will love always.
Thank you for coming into my life.
Love also to Dylan who passed to the bridge a little while ago.
I will love you both always.

N.


Marley Jaynes Waldman, 11/7/92-08/29/97

Marley, we will miss you so much and will never forget the joy you brought to us. We will always see you bouncing through the grass in your yard, diving into the swimming pool, chasing small animals and lizards, bathing in the sun. You were the sweetest dog that ever lived and we will never replace you. I want you to know that even though your heart was not strong enough to keep you alive, it was strong enough to remain in all of our hearts forever. We love you Marley and we will meet you at the Rainbow Bridge. Until then, you have Suzy, Puden, and Stella there to play with.

Love Mom, Ron, Jared and Leah


Marley

We miss your comforting presence, your warm, soft body cuddling with us at night, and the way you made us laugh. good-bye, little buddy.

There will never be another like you...You were such a good boy, mom loves you so very much.

Marshall, 9/88-7/13/91

Marshall never met a person he didn't like. He had personality plus, and was eternally a kitten at heart. He was much loved and tremendously missed. We love him still.

Aaron Fry


Marshmallow, 7/17/97

Marshmallow unexpected died from surgery complications. She was my best friend in the whole world. It seems like 11 1/2 years were gone in the blink of an eye. Her passing has left a hole in my heart that can never be filled. But I know that she will wait for my at St. Peter's gate. I love you and I miss you, Marsh.

Cindy Ungerer


Marta, 08/08/96

All pets are special to their owners. I have had many pets since I was a child and all hold a special place in my heart but none like Marta. Marta passed the day after my 19th wedding anniversary. The doctor said he had never seen cancer so widely spread; until the end she was blessed for she showed few symptoms. She held on for me. I had nearly lost my right leg in a very bad accident. The day after I took my first steps since that fall, we had to rush her to the vet. We had such a close and special bond with her for she was a very special and loving cat. Before I met my husband, I was previously married and it was a very abusive relationship. When he would hit me, Marta actually attacked my first husband. We have since gotten two beautiful kittens, rescued from an animal shelter as a tribute to her. My husband and I were never blessed with children and, yes, she was our surrogate child. Even with the love of our new pets, I will always miss Marta and that very so very special bond we had until it is my time to meet her at the Rainbow Bridge.

Thank you for "listening".

Terri


Martha, 02/12/97

Patty's best friend, her love, her life. Martha will always live in Patty's heart and in the hearts of us, her extended family.

Patty Green


Martina, 11/30/85-06/08/97

Martina was a very sweet, very special dog who wanted nothing more in life than to please and to be loved for her efforts. She succeeded admirably in both. She leaves behind her three cats, who had admittedly mixed feelings about her, and three humans, who loved her without reservation.

Kathie, Katie, and John


Masha Marie, 11/15/97

Masha was our helper and friend. She kept Mom company when she was single and feeling alone for 10 of those 16 years.
She raised Poco (our 14 year old kittie) from a kitten as if she were her own, and Zack, our dog, from a puppy, making him think he was just a big cat. She didn't like Dad that much at first, but after they got to know each other she loved him best, and he her. We don't know why Masha died today, the vet couldn't find alot wrong with her, even though Poco and I knew there was something wrong about a year ago. She fought like a trouper through that year, and never seemed to really suffer.

She left us at about 5:00 a.m. this morning.

We will all miss her very very much.

God Bless her and keep her. We love her.

Deb and Paul Skup


Matilda, 7/21/86-12/15/97

Your body has given way but your spirit lives on in us. You follow your friend Norton who passed only a few short months ago. We know that you loved us but had to go at this time for some higher purpose we yet do not understand. We can only believe that you and our other fur friends of years gone by are all together and play happily in the place you now inhabit. You will never be forgotten.
Love John, Lucy and Angie.


Matilda, 1984-10/94

Matilda was a special dog. She hated to be indoors. So I had to rig up an indoor/outdoor condo thing for her. We had 10 great years together. She is missed.

Joanne G. Seamans


Matisse, 10/10/97

Matisse, you were and are our joy. You were a voice for calm in an otherwise hectic and hard to understand world. You were always there for us, and we will always be there for you.

Sara and Andy Vogel


Matty, 9/9/94 10/15/97

Matty was a friend who loved you when you were down, and showed it to you. Matty and I became very close friends, and as our friendship grew stronger, Matty's attitude toward strangers grew worse, wish forced us to give her up and have her put down. I know Matty is safe now, and I feel her in my heart everyday that goes by. Even though Matty is no longer with us, I know she is near by, and we will meet up again one day, and when we do, we will be able to play fetch and go swimming, and just have fun without a care in the world.
In Loving Memory of Matty

Max, 10/29/97

Max, my beautiful baby, I miss you so much. You were my soulmate. You, me and our brother, B.J., a loving pit bull, were the three musketeers. B.J. left us 3 years ago. I hope you are together again. Tell him Sissie loves and misses him and I'll be with you both soon. You were so perfect, I grieve for you every day. The house is so empty. Til we're together again, forever, remember, you are my sweet baby. Love always, Sissie


Max, 10/03/88-10/21/97

Max was my wonderdog. He was my heart, and always will be. He was always there for me when I needed him, and I wasn't there when he needed me the most. I am very sorry Max, and I hope that you're okay up there. I miss you and love you.

Kelly Ladouceur


Max, 09/08/85-11/09/97

The old gray dog, he ain't what he used to be, he's better then he ever was, he's gone to the light you see. We loved him so much more then anyone could know. Rest in peace my friend.
We love you Max    mama and papa

Max, 1971-11/86

Dear Max

It's now twenty years since we sent you to California to live with Laure's parents, who came to love you as much as we did. Your two families still miss you. We miss your inexhaustible energy (though we weren't always up to it at the time), the way you ran so gracefully, your silly grin when you found something you thought would amaze us, the way you seemed to discover things like snow with the same thrill every time you saw them, the way you tried to take care of Laure when she was ill, the way you protected our cat Antoine from other dogs, the way you ran in the stream in the park - and in fact even the things about you that we thought were a pain at the time. Back then, we never thought we'd still be thinking about it twenty years later. We love you.

Laure and Sigrid


Max, 10/14/97

We have known lots of dogs, and despite what the vet told us, we know Max wasn't a dog, he was a little person in a furry suit. We've learned a lot from him in the past few months since he was diagnosed with terminal cancer -- mostly, from the way he recognized what a precious gift every day was, and how he made the most of each of them. He will live forever in our hearts.

How do you say good bye to your best friend of 15 years? Until we meet again is probably more fitting....Max has given me wonderful years of joy and companionship through unconditional love. His excitement at the window as I come home from work, get out of my truck and walk into the house will be dearly missed. His bright eyes and need to know every thing that goes on in the house can never be replaced. To you MAX, I pay tribute to your happiness and fun character. You always tried to cheer me up with a wet nose or a kiss. I shall remember your 5 week old bark after you passed your worms in the Azores, Portugal. I shall remember you wanting to protect me from other dogs on the beach and the time you did battle with a goat in 1983. Your spirit to live will always touch my heart. I shall remember your wanting to know who knocking at the door, you always had to be the first one to greet people. Most of all will remember how you touch a part of my family's heart and won Nadine over. We both care and love you and we will remember you until we meet on the other side of the BRIDGE. LOVE Rich


Max, 11/14/94-09/09/97

I would like to dedicate this poem to Max by Pope John XXIII since he always watched for me to come home from the window.

"In my window a little light will keep burning. All may come in.
The arms of a friend are waiting."

Max, 8/9/97

A tribute to Max.
Timothy Maxwell Chupp, III was a most special guinea pig. He was warm and friendly, not the least bit shy, and liked to taste all new foods. He taught all the other guinea pigs to try new foods, whereas before they would eat only pellets, carrots and timothy hay. He was a sweet talker, a good listener, a wonderful father and an exceptional mate. Mei-Mei misses Max terribly, and keeps looking for him. Soon she will have his last litter of babies. I hope one has the sweet personality and comical, boogly eyes of his father! We will always love you, Max!

Mona


Max, 8/15/97

Max was with me for 3 years. He was my best friend. He was there when I needed someone to talk to. He was there when I needed a shoulder to cry on. He was there to ward off the boogie man when I was afraid. He was there to keep me company when I was alone. He was there through 3 years of a bad marriage. He was there through the breakup. He was there when I received my divorce papers.

I wasn't there when he died.

I hope he forgives me. I hope he has a window seat in heaven, with someone to scratch behind his ears, to hold him, to hug him, and to love him.

Stacy Corners


Max, 3/16/81-6/27/97

This is for my beloved Max, who died June 27, 1997. He was a little over 16 years-old and I loved him very, very much. He was a Cairn/Schnauzer mix, a Toto lookalike. My home feels so empty without him. He lost the use of his back legs and I had to help him do everything. For the past 6 months, he also had seizures and it broke my heart to watch him. He was my little babycakes, my maxmeister, the smoochiepie. I miss your little face looking up at me, the way your ears stood up, your excitement when you went for a ride in the car, the laps you ran around the tables when you were happy, the noisy greeting I used to get before you got sick. I miss the way you looked at me as if to say, ""well, mom, isn't time for me to get another milk-bone?"" Everything reminds me of you . . . The empty place in my bedroom where you slept, the backyard where you loved to chase squirrels, whine at the neighbors for food, and later, when you were older, to lie in the sun by my side. Everyone who knew you, loved you. You left a hole in my heart, my little Maxie. . . but you're at peace now and playing once again with your cousin, BJ, my first dog. I told him you were coming and to look for you. Thank you for sharing yourself with me and for your love, affection, playfulness, and love-of life. And to BJ, once again, who grew up with me and was my stability during some unsettling times in my life . . . it's been 6 1/2 years since you left me . . . you will always have a piece of my heart.

Max, 9/20/87-6/13/97

We love you Max. You were almost humanlike. You survived so may things in your short life. When Kidney disease began to eat your life away 2 years ago, we fought back with lots of sub-q fluids and special diet and you came back. We took you fishing and across the country and still you fought, until last week. All of a sudden there was no appetite and a look in your eyes that enough was enough. You told me no more needles, no more pills, I am tired. Please Dear God tell me that animals have souls and that you take them to heaven to be with you to watch over them until we get there. I am so grief struck it is so hard to write this. We miss you so much.

Jackie Ramseyer


Max, 5/8/86-3/1/97

How I miss my very special guy!! He was the most faithful and loving companion. I never once saw him angry. I loved him dearly and he will always be with me for I keep his memory close to my heart.

Karen Copetas


Max, 3/94-4/9/97

For my beautiful Maxie, a spirited and wonderfully friendly and pleasant orange tabby guy, taken suddenly and way before his time. We miss you so much. Love, Mom, Beau, Buzzy, BJ and Jimmy.

A most talkative and friendly applehead who welcomed everyone. The house is so silent without you Max.

Max, I will always love you and I'm very sorry you had to have your IV fluids/shots every night. I was just trying to help you...I'm sorry I left you and that you died alone. Please forgive me. I'm sorry for all the times you wanted to come on my lap and I was too busy, etc for you. I hope we will meet again and that we will remember each other. You were the best friend ever.

Max, 4/1/1997

Max was adopted from the pound 10 years ago. He gave us many years of love and wonderful memories. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer last July. Dr. Orland Anderson helped give him 9 more month f quality life. Today we made the decision to have him put to sleep. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. I watched my best friend die very peacefully. I miss him very much. He will live forever in my memory. I love you Max!! !!!!

Debbie Reiley


Max, 4/15/95-3/30/97

Max was my baby. He loved me no matter what. He stuck to me like glue. He was always "sucking up" to me, as my husband would say. But now he has gone over The Bridge where he is healthy and can play with Cleo, my first baby. He was loved dearly and gave special meaning to my life. I miss him terribly.

Marilyn Yerks


Max, 1996

Max was a great friend to Marge. They were the very best of friends. She misses him very much and he will always have his own special place in her heart.

A Friend


Max

Max, you were one of my best friends for many years. Our household just isn't the same without your smiling eyes, happy tail, and onery bark. We think of you every day, and know you are in a better place now where you are no longer in pain. The girls are planning to plant some flowers on your grave in the spring because Lainey says,"They will make Max happy." She still brings you sticks to play with in heaven. She doesn't totally understand where you have gone, but she knows it is a place where you are happy and safe. Until we meet again, my friend, thanks so much for the many years of love, companionship, and happy times. You loved me no matter what and I did the same with you. We will meet again someday at Rainbow Bridge, and until then, I will carry your memory in my heart. I Love You, Max! We all love you, Max!

Max was my best friend and a very special dog. He took part of me with him when he died.

Max was just a yard dog - he never demanded anything - he was always there. It seems strange to look out in the yard and not see him.

Max, 6/1/86-11/22/96

Our Spaniel

We miss you so....

Nancy


Max, 4/1/96

Max was rescued by my husband and I 13 years ago. He had been abused in his previous home and was shy and nervous when we took him in.

He chewed everything, was terrible at housebreaking, tore up the trash everyday when we would leave for work, ate my shoes, ate my husband's socks...but we loved him through it all.

Max was great when the children came along, acting as their protector. He provided many loving and caring moments to us all. He was a loving and faithful companion to the end.

Go with God, Max. The house is just not the same without you. We know you are free from the aches and pains which plagued your last year. We thank you for taking care of us and we look forward to seeing you again someday.

Cindy


Max Harris, 9/23/97

My dog Max was a creature of God. Humans put all sorts of names on creatures of God, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc. I loved Max as much as I could any human being. I will miss him for all remaining days that God sees fit to give this human creature.

Today, I lost such a good friend. I feel as though she will never be replaced. I grieve over her loss, and I feel so sad that I had to be the one to take her for her last ride.

Maxie, 7/4/97

A brave little creature who liked everyone and loved me .

Maximillian of Minguish (Max), 12/13/86-4/8/97

Max was a loving dog who always had a lick on the nose for everybody. He was our best friend and always wanted to be near us. We shall always remember him as an active little dog full of life. It was the worst day of our lives to have to take him to our wonderful vets for the last time. I'll always remember his dark eyes and him licking my nose as he slipped away. We love you Max.

Garry and Liz Tyler


Maximilian, 2/12/84-1/20/97

To my best friend, my first real friend...you were always there through every sadness and every happiness. You will continue to be with me until we meet again. Thanks for all the years you gave me. Love, your best friend, Mom.

Maximillion Sterling Szymanski
My beloved dog and best friend
I didn't know when you were born because I got you at the SPCA
I'll never forget when you had to be put to sleep on Sept. 27, 1996
I miss you every day,
I talk to you every day,
I hope you can hear me,
I'm sorry that we let you go,
I didn't want you to hurt anymore,
I'll never forget how happy you were to get your leash and go for a ride,
I feel like I betrayed you.
I asked you if you were ready and you didn't reply.
I prayed I was doing the right thing, and I never hurt so badly, EVER.
Sandy missed you as well, and I don't know anyone who doesn't miss you,
So do Lizzie and Deelilah,
I can see you at the Bridge with Pepper.
I want to tell you to wait for me, but you don't have to.
Enjoy your pain free life, if you don't wait, believe me, I'll be looking for you.
I hope you can guide us through our grieve, and from time to time, give Charlie some advice on how to be a great dog like you were.
I ask alot maybe, but I still need you,
We will always love you Max, so I won't say goodbye,
Until we meet again.
Love Mommy and Dad and your fur siblings and family.
ALWAYS.

Anne & Steve Szymanski


Maxwell, 9/91-12/22/97

Today I lost my best friend. Farewell Sweet Pussycat. You gave me unconditional love. Our home seems so empty now. I miss your purr and vocal greetings. There will never be another cat as special as you.

Sharon Hennegan


Maxwell, 5/7/88-8/5/96

Maxwell, I "rescued" you when you were two years old. My wife said it was OK to adopt you, however, there were to be many restrictions. This was because she never had a dog before. You were not to be allowed on the bed or any furniture. I was responsible for feeding you, walking you, trips to the vet, cleaning up after you etc. She would not be able to love you, for you were just a dog. When we brought you home, my children were unsure of you. You were so big, bigger than they were.
After several weeks, I noticed my wife talking to you, petting you. Then one evening, I discovered you in bed, laying with your head at my wife's feet. She said it was OK. Before I knew it, she was feeding you, walking you, even picking up after you. My children learned to love you. Everyone who came into contact with you loved you. We thought we would have a lifetime of your love and affection.
We learned that you had cancer in August. It was only 10 days from the time we noticed you weren't feeling well to the time you died. You were taken much to soon and much to quickly. Our family has not been the same. We miss you so much. My wife, who wasn't even sure she wanted you probably grieves the most. You were her protector. My children miss you also. We miss you and we will never forget you.

Love,
Mike Mary Chris and Sean


Maxx, 6/23/97

Maxx, the most human-oriented cat I've ever know, died today as the result of my decision, because of massive kidney failure.
He's never been more than a few feet from me when I was home. I named my company after him. He was beautiful, living to love, and a blessing to those around him.

I miss him terribly.

Meaghan, 5/19/82-5/2/96

Meaghan followed my ex husband home on Valentine's day 1985. When I got home I said "What is a DOG doing in this house?" I had 4 cats at the time and No interest in any dogs.....

When I couldn't find an owner, Meaghan stayed.... she was so very good with the cats that they accepted her within days. She was so good that if she started to chase something and you told her "no" she would stop immediately. She was so good that neighbors bought her Christmas Presents and invited her over to play. She was so very good that she was.. Meaghan, The World's Best Dog.

She was my daughter's best friend. She was there for us through the end of my awful marriage, there through my struggle with undiagnosed depression, there through her struggle with arthritis and Cushing's Disease. She is buried under a viburnum bush in my back yard -- a grave marker that I promised her long, long ago. A grave marker that is always seen and recognized. Her patience and gentleness remain with me always -- a reminder to grow, and believe in goodness.

She came to me on Valentine's day; she is the meaning of Valentines Day. I love you Meaghan T Meaghan.

Meat, 09/02/97

To our beloved Meatball although you didn't lead a picture perfect life, there are many who loved you and always will. You could always be counted on for your unconditional love and devotion. Your smile will be remembered always! Thank You for all the love and happiness you gave to us all! It hurts that you are gone, but we know that you are in a better place where you know no pain.
Meat you are FOREVER LOVED...FOREVER MISSED

MeerClarSloane, 05/16/88-08/16/97

You were the most true and gentle friend to ever touch our lives. You were the one who loved us when no one else cared. There will forever be an emptiness in our lives left with your passing. Mommy and Daddy love you Sloane!

Jacqueline and Leon Guidry


Meesha, 04/01/80-07/24/97

Meesha, I have never felt such love and affection as when you were by my side. You were the best listener and the sweetest cat that I ever hope to have in my life. You had a whole bag of tricks including the ability to sit up and beg, shake hands and retrieve. Your trick as a kitten to open all of the cupboards almost prompted me to call the police but then what burglar would steal the kitchen supplies? Above all, you always knew when I was sad and needed a friendly face if front of me.

I wish your last 2 months weren't as tough as they were with the renal failure and the abscess in your mouth but I couldn't bear to lose you. I thought my heart would break when you looked up at me for the last time in the vet's office. But I couldn't put you through more pain just so that I could keep you around for another week or two.

At least you are at peace now. I hope the Rainbow Bridge is well stocked with catnip, turkey and dairy products. Sleep well my friend.

Monica


Meesha, 9/3/94-10/8/96

You were the perfect Friend and Companion. We shall always remember you as a part of our lives. Coming home is not the same, and tears still f ill the eyes when we think of you. I look forward to walking across the bridge with you as we together enter to live in God's care.
We love you Meesha!

Daddy, and the kids.


Meg, 9/18/97

Please pray for her as we lay her to rest, kidney failure, arthritis.

Thank you for being my happiness and letting me be yours.
I love you.

Megan, 6/12/84-4/26/96

She was the first pet I ever had. She went from a puppy who bounced into my lap at the breeders home to a grand dame. She has been gone for 1 1/2 years. Even though I have a wonderful chocolate lab named Molly, I still cry for my Megan. It doesn't hurt as much but I still miss my very first dog.

Virginia Kayfes


Megan, 09/16/97

Meg - how will our life go on without you? We miss your beautiful eyes, your wagging tail and all the love and joy you gave us. Rest peacefully - for you are no longer in pain. We love you!

Clint/Donna Tucker


Megan, 5/29/97

You will always be my angel doggie, you came to me when you knew I needed a friend. Joseph followed you to the bridge shortly after so I'm sure you guys are back together again. I'll see you again soon, I love you.

Megan Marie & Snowy Oreo, 7/4/97-7/4/97

Megan Marie & Snowy Oreo, you are with your father Dewayne & your Uncle Snowball you do what you listen to your father and Uncle I wish you both were here with me but I knew that God had wonderful things for you both.

Mel, 6/22/96-12/11/97

We miss you so very much. You brought us such happiness and joy. I know we'll see you again over the bridge. We're so sorry, Mel, that this happened. Please do not forget us and say Hi! to Gus for us. We'll be seeing you. Take care, Mel Mel. We all love you very much.

               And you will forever be loved m ore than words can tell.

Melody, 04/84-08/31/95

Melody, I miss you as much as I did the awful day you died.
You were my compassionate teacher and you taught love, joy, health, faithfulness, assertion, courage, fulfillment.

You were our Alpha Dog and our pack was lost without you.
You know all the little children in the neighborhood came to comfort me and they left flowers on the door for you.

I thought I'd never be able to hike again without you. But when I finally did, I found out you were the hills, you were the wind, you were the glorious mountains and the golden sunset. You sent Roger to join us and ease the pain of your loss.

I love you throughout time and space and if you wait for me, I will be there.

Love, Mom

Patricia Swain


Melody, 5/12/87

Melody, I rescued you from the pound. I remember you were in the corner of the cage, just shaking. You were so scared, I wanted to give you a life. You loved to go to the park. You would climb over me as I was opening the car door, you couldn't wait to start playing. You chased the birds and squirrels. You were a loving and heartwarming friend when I needed one. I will always love you and remember the good times we had together. You will always be in my heart Melody.

MeMe, 8/10/89-2/20/96

3/15/96 (Journal Excerpt)

Time has come
and gone
for another.
And so we mourn again, the brothers and I
as Panda daily searches the closed-off room
with some strange, innocent hope in his little heart
that he may somehow stumble across
that chubby, silly old calico he used to batter mercilessly
with the best of good cheer.
(They had become close only months ago-
a chase or two, a jab to the face or swat between the ears-
of which only I sensed their mutual fondness).
Death was swift; silent, unexpected
like a fine sniper in broad daylight
it took her out as easily as though she stood, a fat target
silhouetted on a ridge somewhere
right under my kitchen window.
Death used a silencer on MeMe
and caught her squarely through the heart
she fell where she was struck
and knew nothing of what hit her.
I had not seen a cat grieve so for a playmate
before
as Ubu yet does, poor gentle Panda Bear.
"He's young," Tom said. "He'll know what it is next time."
Jesus, I
hope not
for both our sakes
ah, let there never come that "next time"...
(And on the cold steel table I lay my face
against her beautiful thick coat
[god, the rich colors, still so alive!]
and let the heat of my tears fall upon her side
as I said our goodbyes and released her with love
for us all).

(Author's note: MeMe left us on a gorgeous spring morning after ten minutes of outdoor play, her body discovered directly under the window where I had been doing dishes. My frantic CPR was unable to revive her. An autopsy report attributed her death to "natural causes", although no disease or abnormalities were ever discerned.
She had never been ill. She was six and a half.)


Nancy Stanis


Mercedes, 4/86-12/4/97

We will always remember "Sadie" for her gentle shy manner and loving ways. She was always here for us when we needed her the most. A walk came second to a ride in the car as her special treat. Everyone who knew her loved her. We are grateful for the years we had Sadie with us and hope to see her again.

Jane and Dick


Mercedes, 09/17/95-09/09/96

Goodbye my spotted loving friend, though our time was short, it was full. So much joy is in your past, and someday we will meet again.

Merk, 3/1/86-10/21/96

I will miss this beloved friend. No longer will I see you when I get home from work everyday. I am so glad that I had all these years with you and I know that you are not suffering any longer. I love you and I will miss you terribly. Thank God for letting you into my life.

Nancy and Jamie


Merritt, 08/90-05/24/97

For Merritt, my special boy. We loved each other so much. Even when we were still learning about each other, and had some rough times, it was still that wonderful unconditional love for each other. I miss you! The house is so empty now, I don't know how I'll ever make it. But I will, I will be strong for you, because I know you are no longer in pain, you are no longer cold, and your life can be happy again. You will always be my special boy and I will always love you. Until I see you again...

Love, Mom


Mia, 04/16/86

A Little Furry Paw

We held you in our arms today
And watched you close your eyes
We knew you'd soon be sleeping
We choked out our good-byes

We love you oh so deeply
Our loyal, furry friend
We will miss your friendship
We don't want it to end

And as we gazed up sadly
Thru tear stained eyes we saw
Something waving profusely
A little, furry paw

We knew that you were leaving
We knew that we must part
But, we knew you'd live forever
Deep within our hearts

Mommy and Daddy


Mia

I miss you Mia. You were a great companion. Rest in peace.

Micah, 02/72-08/31/92

Never could be found a better friend. Micah went to college with me; she moved to several different homes with me. As long as she was with me, she was content.
My little girl will always be in my heart and sorely missed.

Mick, 02/04/85-12/8/97

Mick,

When I first brought you home you were so tiny I could hold you in one hand. When you were a baby you used to sleep with me every night, curled around my head. The time you jumped out the upstairs window to the sidewalk scared me half to death. You used to love your multicolored mini nerf balls. Remember the time you jumped onto the toilet to watch me put my makeup on, but the lid was open and you fell in? I thought you'd never forgive me for that. You were my best boy, my little ""son"", and no other will ever replace you, with your huge green eyes and orange nose. Wherever you are now, I hope you have shrimp for every meal and lots of ham snacks. Your twelve years with us was not long enough. There will never be another Mick. Love always, from your Mom.

Ronda Garcia


Mickey, 9/8/97

Our darling Mickey, you will always be our one and only. You were so special, you will always be with us. Love, Mommy E and Daddy B

Mickey, 10/31/89-8/6/97

Although he was only 7 years old when we lost him, Mickey brought the most joy and love into our hearts. He was a friend to everyone whose path he crossed. His spirit will always be in our hearts. We will always remember and miss our beloved "Puppy Dog".
We love you Puppy Dog!!!

Heaton Family


Mickey, 6/05/86-3/20/97

Mickey was my best friend for almost 11 years. Losing him has left an ache in my soul and a hole in my heart that can never be filled. I will always love you, Mickey. Wait for me at the Bridge.

Arlene Collier


Mickey D., 9/92-2/21/97

We miss you so much. You were my pal, my boy, my soul mate, Mimas walking partner. You are the best friend I ever had. Our cats Beethoven and Fluffy miss you too. Even though you are gone, in our house you always be "KING." My pretty little boy - wait for me on the Rainbow Bridge and watch over for me until I go looking for you there. I love you boy.

Love Always,
Jamie

We haven't known you long, but we have come to love you. Rest at the bridge until you see your mom and dad again and say hello to my Goldie for me. I miss her so. She will be there with you in your time of need. We love you.

Mary, Anthony, Jennifer and Tracy

Miggy, 9/15/96

For Miggy,

You brought me so much love and joy in just the one week that I knew you. I didn't expect this happiness to end so quickly. I'm still in a daze from having lost you. I'm frightened for you and just hope that you're safe. You were such a little tyke - so special and delicate. And, I admire you for the way you got around and didn't let your paralysis hold you back.

I'll miss cuddling with you on the bed. It didn't feel right this morning waking up without you by my side. I'll always love you and you'll forever remain in my heart. Until we meet again my sweetheart...

Thank You God!

Thank you God for Mikey,
he was my dog and best friend.
He gave unconditional love
right up to the end.

Thank you for a gentle giant
who walked proud and tall.
He always succeeded
in making friends with all.

Thank you for the time we had
walking together and howling at the moon.
If only I had known
you would be taking him so soon.

So I'll say goodby to my old friend
for he is now in Your care.
Though I miss him terribly
I know someday I'll see him there.

CH Windy City's Look Who's Talkin' (Mikey), 7/3/90-9/23/97

"Mikey" was taken from us far too young, but his spirit shall live on in our hearts and in his children and grandchildren.
May the stars by your guide to Valhalla my son... You have gone ahead of us to scout the way.
Wait for us... We shall not be far behind.
I will always love you Mikey....

To Mikey, a cat abandon and left alone, you'll never be lonely again.

Milky, 10/09/07

Milky was a sweet, wonderful hamster and I hope that he will always be remembered for the good friend that he was. I hope Milky is happy in heaven or wherever the final resting place really is. He will live forever in my heart, just as the tears of his death will. I hope that Milky knows that I always have loved him, that I love him now, and will forever. When people remember Milky, I want them to remember the sweet things he did like pouching food and other things (not always appropriate things like men's suits) in his cheeks.

My little baby was a trooper, But he lost the battle. He will be missed SO much. There is much grieving in this house tonight.

Milton, 8/18/97

Milton, you were with us for only a short time, but we loved you dearly. We hope that you felt that love during your last days in this life. You will always be remembered for being such a sweet, gentle, loving, and forgiving cat.
Our only regret is that we didn't have more time with you.

Aimee Ellis


Mimi, 12/01/96

Mimi:

Thanks for all of your memories. Our laughter and sorrow will always follow you to eternity. Again, you will always be our family cat.

Love from, Bobby(your big brother), Tazuko(mom), Layla(your cousin who found you in the trashbin, then told us to adopt you), and David(dad) Thomas


Mina, 10/23/96

Mina-

You came to me sick. I tried everything I could. When you wouldn't eat, I'd give you fluids thru a medicine dropper. The vet said that you had a bacterial infection, she gave me antibiotics for you. She said that they would help you, soon you'd be eating again. I really thought that you'd pull thru, you've been strong for so long. But this morning, after I gave you your antibiotic, you crossed the bridge. There is no more suffering for you. I cry because I feel that you shouldn't have gone, you've held on for so long and if you just held on a few more days, the medicine would have kicked in. I also cry because Morgan looks so lonely in the terrarium with out you. We will all miss you Mina.

Mindy, 07/24/97

Mindy

We don't know where you came from and now we don't know where you've gone. You gave us 5 wonderful years of your antics, affection and devotion. When you came down the mountain to adopt us I often said you were "a gift from God". You made us laugh and now you make us cry. How noble of you to go back up your beloved mountain to die. We did what we and the Vet could to save you from the snake bite (and we thought we had been successful). But, a week later you left us to grieve in the deepest sorrow. Your absence is unbearable. You had such enthusiasm for life - you always acted so happy! We miss you terribly and hope that you died peacefully. Please be waiting for us at the Bridge.

Your loving family - The Swansons


Mindy, 04/83-7/15/97

Mindy - also known as "Mindikins" I miss you so much. Thank you for somehow finding your way into my life. My life will never be the same without your " little motor boat running" and the furr therapy you gave me for so many years. Getting milk out for my coffee will always remind me of you. I hope you learned a lot about us humans after all those times you sprawled out on my college text books and class notes. My piano practice sessions will most certainly lack the unique style you added to my music. The house is empty and my heart aches for you. I still can't believe you are gone from my life. I love you so much. Picture me giving you a kiss on your head right between your ears ( I want to hear you purr as loud as you can ) may your new home be filled with as much love as I felt and gave you.

Love Caroline (Mommy)


Mindy, 3/15/97

Mindy,
You were my true friend for 16 years, never once turning your back on me, and now it was by turn to give back to you. As painful as it was to let you go, it is yet joyful to think of you back to your playful puppy self that I have not seen for quite some time. You will forever be in my heart!
Give by love to Max. We will all be together again some day; until then run, play, and rejoice in God's love!

Mindy Sue, 02/26/97-03/97 Mandy Lynn, 11/30/97

I also lost my second Lutino Female Cockatiel, Mandy Lynn on Sunday, November 30-1997 to slow crop and bacterial infection, the same that happen to her older sister.

I miss my beautiful little girls very much. I miss their little chirps, their playfulness and most of all their love for me. When I would get up in the morning, and they would see me, they would get all excited, and I miss that very much. I know that Mindy was waiting for Mandy and together they flew over the Rainbow Bridge.

MineMine, 09/12/96

A faithful, caring friend who was always there. She drowned in a neighbour's pool during a hot summer day. Her place in my bed is still there and I think dearly of her.

Jacqueline Boucher


Mini, 08/97

Mini was a sweet smaller version of her wonderful momcat.
She ran to greet her human Mother and ran into a dog who just wanted to play, but too rough. She never recovered, dying with her Mother holding and loving her. We will miss her quiet beauty.

Minka made me feel such a love as never before. She/he had a very short but hapy life and even if I can not hold him/her I can still feel her trust and love and I hope she can feel mine. Rest in peace, or play with the other bunnies, just dont forget to wait for me!

Sofia Age


Minnie, 05/86-09/18/97

Minnie was my best friend.
We were together almost 24 hours a day since I work from home.
She followed me everywhere I went, and understood about 10 phrases, including "Come to bed, Minnie!" I pray that we will meet one day again. Her spirit is near me and I am happy for that.

My little princess Miriam, all Grey and smart looking. You will be greatly missed. I swear, you and Doesay sneek the keys to the 64 Lincoln and don't come back till the wee hours.

Who will wake me up when I oversleep? So Damn loyal, there is an emptyness now that your gone, its hard coming home and sitting in "your" favorite chair, or you seeing me off to work every morning.

Mischief, 10/30/97

Mischief, for six years you brought us so much joy and fun to our home. We don't understand why God took you from us so suddenly. No longer will you knock on our bathroom door or grab our arm as we walk by.
  We miss you terribly.

Love, Dad, Mom, and Sweetie


Mishka, 7/6/97

My Mishka,

When I brought you home for the last time, I laid you in your favorite blanket inside your cage and stared at the shadow of your bright little face. Only a few hours before, you were at the hospital, just needing a few stitches. There were many other pets, many of them much more injured or sick than you, so we had to wait a long time. You passed the time by digging in your blanket, exploring the exam table, nudging me endlessly for more pets, and dancing around. I held you and sang you a little song, just to pass the time. You were so happy and contented, you even let the doctor, a stranger, carry you himself to the back room for your stitches. None of us thought to say goodbye. But someone we can't see decided this was your time to go. And you went. You taught me to accept the imperfections of life -- messy rooms, chewed-up mementos, unpredictable behavior. The Japanese have a word for the beauty of the imperfect: wabi-sabi. When I first heard that word, it became one of your many nicknames. I love you, my little Wabi-Sabi. You were the perfect Mishka.

Miss Marble, 04/19/92-09/05/96

My sweet little Miss Marble,
Our time together was much shorter than I expected.
Four and a half years ago,
I watched you come into this world,
and take your first breath.
Born on Easter Sunday,
An angel sent by God.
You stayed a petite little girl,
I never stopped calling you "kitten".
You were always so sweet and bright,
It hurt so bad to see you feeling bad,
During your last days with me.
So, I loved you enough to let you go,
Quietly, with mommy at your side,
Now watching you leave this world,
And take your last breath.
Because of this bond we had on earth,
We will get to spend eternity together.
Until then, I will think of you often,
Sometimes, with a smile,
Sometimes, with a tear.
I will hear your meow,
play over, and over in my mind.
And when I'm sad,
I'll remember how you were always there,
Rubbing your soft face all over my face,
Refusing to stop, until I smiled,
and laughed, Heh Heh, stop Marble.
Thank you for being there for me, always.
I love you my little Miss Marble,
See you at the bridge.

In loving memory of Miss Marble Born April 19, 1992 (Easter Sunday) Died September 5, 1996

She has gone to join Duncan and is now happy.

Missy, 04/21/98

Missy came to live with us 12 1/2 years ago. We didn't expect to get a dog, but if we didn't take Missy, she probably would of been put to sleep, as she had no home. She was born outside with no care. She was the most loveable dog we ever had.
She went outside this morning to do her duty, stayed outside for a little while. I saw her at the door wanting to come in. I let her in and she went to lay down near my husband. I noticed that she was sleeping very soundly. Usually you can hear her breathing. I noticed that her stomach was not moving. I went to touch her, and knew that she had passed away. Since then it has been nothing but tears and pain for both of us.
Our baby will be cremated, and will always be with us. May we meet again at Rainbow Bridge.

Evageline Silva

Missy, 11/17/ 97

You always lapped my face, even when I gave you your insulin shots. You walked with me, even though your arthritis hurt. When you became blind, you learned to lean on my leg for guidance and I became your 'seeing eye person'. You are my friend forever, even though you are gone. Now rest, my baby. No more needles, no more pain. I miss you so much, Missy... Love, your Dad.

Steve Pendolari


Missy

We still think of you and miss you very much. We hope you are happy at Rainbow Bridge.

Missy, 07/03/89-08/12/97

Missy was one of the best cats we ever had. She loved it when you rubbed her nose and under her neck. She slept with me from the day she was born.(Monique) She was born the day of my birthday. She was a very special cat and she didn't deserve to die no animals deserve to die. She was ran over by a car, but the thing that puzzles our family and neighbors is that she never goes in the street. Someone must of called her to go to the street. Because she goes by kitty and Missy. In front of our apartment on Richmond Street in Millbrae there are very fast cars that drive by and unfortunately she got killed, no animal can replace my love for her. And if someone who has an animal that experienced one of theirs dying I know how you feel, and if you have one that is alive cherish the moment of having him/her because you can't help what happens.

My Little Missy Girl AKA Horse, 12/14/93-12/24/96

You stuck by me in good times and bad, in sickness and health. You come to me so badly mistreated you shook in fear, I set up all night with you to save your life, for you knew inside I loved you. I meant no harm. You pulled through.
Now today I was told you were killed. As you were let out by my friend. You seemed antsy I was told as if you knew I was in harms way. But how could you my little friend know of this. Was told after you were hit by the car you that you bit not at the young boy who picked you up. Just whined a little. Then was gone.
Missy...my little pup. Please wait for me at the golden gate. For I'm on my way soon I felt something was wrong all day yesterday. Was told you were killed at 6ooam I was told today. I hope you suffered not.
I'm filled with pain. and a loneliness I can't explain. Goodbye my little Missy till I see you soon.

Your loving friend Tim (Cowboy)
Very broken hearted you Missy are very sorely missed


Missy, 11/22/96

Missy, you were the best dog anyone could ask for. We will miss you always. You came with our house and you were the best gift we ever received. We had eight wonderful years with you. Your "brother" Max grieves for you also.

Misti Su, 7/15/85-9/6/97

Misti Su was in severe distress, unable to breath and in heart failure, the 3rd in 5 months. As I rushed her to emergency at 3 a.m., she looked far off, unresponsive to me and I felt she was already seeing the other side. I knew it was her time and asked very tearfully for her to be put to sleep. She went quietly before the shot was finished and I buried her under some spruce trees and lit a candle. Her candle burned for 6 hours in the wind and I take great comfort in knowing she is not alone, in pain and free to go on to her next adventure. Misti hurt her heart healing mine; she was my constant through some very turbulent years and helped me learn unconditional love and acceptance. I will light a candle for her Monday night and am grateful to know others are there in Spirit. My father commented when I told him Misti was gone, "Three saints died this week - Diana, Mother Teresa and Misti." I see them all continuing their loving works together across the Bridge.

Misty, 6/17/87-6/26/97

To My Beloved Misty,
I remember the very first time I seen you. You were a puppy with the most beautiful white/blue eyes, I had ever seen, even though the other puppies had the light eyes yours looked right into my heart and I knew you and I were going to be the best of friends. How could of I been so lucky to find you and have you in my life, what now seem like just an instant of time. I still can't believe you have gone, Julie and I miss you so much, it just somehow doesn't seem fair that an illness could take you away so suddenly and I couldn't protect you as I always told you I would. I miss you waiting to go with me everyday, I miss you not coming to get in bed with me in the morning, I miss the sitting and watching TV with you in the evening, I miss watching you and Julie work as team you always wanted to please and I miss sneaking you a special treat when your sisters were busy at play. My heart aches so bad for you, it feels right now, it will never stop.
I'll never forget you. Love MOM


Misty, 11/96

Misty was my companion since I was a young child. Although I know it was a rare gift that she was with me for so long, losing her was one of the hardest things I've ever faced. Luckily, her health decline was really only for a few weeks before I had to put her to sleep .In the end, I did the only thing for her that I could - I let her go. On a rainy day last November I buried her in my parents yard, behind the house where we spent more than 18 years together. May she' rest in peace.

Nicole Horton


Misty, 02/21/86-07/27/97

You were our special pal Mist. We remember when you came to us a little furbaby. You grew into a beautiful adult who herded us to your (and our) heart's content. You became a dignified senior loving til the end. There's a missing piece of our family now, Mist. Meet you at the bridge.

Terry, Barb and Robert


Misty, 04/68-12/31/78

Misty was brought home as a small white furball. The first night she was supposed to sleep in a box in the basement, but she knew she was a member of the family; she cried until I brought her to bed with us. She remained a loving and devoted part of the family for almost 11 years. She contracted cancer, and in 2 short months her quality of life deteriorated drastically. Finally, New Years Eve, I knew I was being selfish for not easing her pain. I will never forget, as I held her close to me and the vet injected her; she turned her face to me, looked me in the eyes, gave me a last lick, and went to sleep. I hope she knew I loved her, and I was trying to ease her suffering. I truly hope there will come a time when we can be reunited.

Phil and Elaine Conner


Misty

You will be forever in my thoughts and my heart. I will never forget your beautiful, sweet face and all the love you gave me. We may finally be getting a new puppy to love, - though I am still afraid of another loss - I don't know if I could bear that kind of pain again.

Love you forever, Mom


Misty, 05/28/97

Misty was one of the most important things in my life. Suffering 8 years of infertility, she was the child I longed to have. My heart has a very empty space which will never be filled. There a re no words to explain how very much I miss my 'baby'. I thank God for allowing me to have her in my life. Thank you Misty for all the wonderful memories. I know you are not suffering any longer and I know we will be together again. Until then....
Momma loves you girl!

Loretta McDaniel


Misty, 04/09/96-05/19/97

For Misty, I thank for being in my life for such a short and precious time. I went through hell and back with you there beside me. thank you for the kisses, hugs and talks. only you would sit and listen to my harmonica for all those long nites. this song's for you girl. my love, Tony


Misty, 3/24/86-4/24/97

I had 11 precious years with you Misty. Although I will always look on your passing with sorrow C I will remember all the good things. Your little crooked tail, how you loved flowers (we called you Ferdinand), how smart you were (you knew how to open almost every door possible), how Christmas was your favourite time of year. You were always there to lovingly greet me at the door when I lived alone in my apartment for 9 1\2 years. And you enjoyed your new found room and freedom when we moved into our own house - not to mention you found a great friend (Ebony) to play with. You will always be close by - just out beneath the beautiful peony bush in my yard where the birds sweetly sing. Right next to your best bud - Ebony. I'll always love you Mist - you were my cherished little baby (wildman) - you will be missed.
Love mommy

As time passes the sorrow recedes and all the good memories are in the forefront. I think of you every day and wish you were still here.

You will always be close to my heart my sweet little Misty.

Misty you were one wonderful boddle butt, ewak, and a fantastic little girl. we traveled the county and Canada together, just the three of us.

You were such a good companion, friend and good kisser We will miss you.. We will always remember the way you begged for pizza, and roast beef, and how you loved the tomato sauce.

I know that when you crossed the Rainbow Bridge, you were out of pain.. Misty we didn't do this because we didn't care about you.. we cared to much for you, to have you in pain.

We love you and hope you are playing with Spunk and Funny Face at the bridge, and someday we will be taking you for your walks again

Missing you so much

Misty,

You were our close companion for four wonderfully happy years.
You brought so much joy and love into our lives.
We will never forget your Wahoo jumps, your loving head-butts for attention, your sleepy yawns, your funny flops, or your sweet cuddly nature.
We especially miss the "oat dance" you did in anticipation of your nightly treat.
We love and miss you so much, sweet little bunny.
We look forward to the beautiful day when we are together again on the Rainbow Bridge.
You will be in our thoughts and hearts forever.

Love Always,

Misty, 11/12/96

Far away skies. Distant days. Memories of you leave one laughing. Best friend you were the true definition of unconditional love you always gave. Always there, you were, when I needed someone the most. My heart how it weeps. Tears overflow in my eyes. Wishing you could live forever always by my side. Through these dark days, your spirit lives on. You are home. You are free. Someday we will play again. Until then, I will miss you dear friend .

Frank, Marilyn and Laura


Misty Ann, 09/26/96

My Sweetest Angel, It has been one year without your warm and wonderful furry face and body for me to love and cherish. I miss you so much, my heart will always be empty without you. I know you are in a better place and are well and happy. I look forward to the time when we are brought together again to play "clinkus, a months worth of kissys, I'm going to get your tailee" and all the rest of the special rituals that we had. We will take another walk in the forest together someday. Enjoy the milk bones in heaven.
Love forever, Mommy

Misty,

You were my loving gentle guardian. I miss you by the bed and at my side of the chair. I think about you often, and hope you know how much you were loved when I had to let you go.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss your little wiggly stubble when I get home from work, miss ""wiggly butt"" or your smile when you greeted me.

Apollo misses you too. He whines all the time. I know in my heart that it won't be long before he joins you over the Rainbow Bridge. Then, once again, you will have your best buddy to play with.

Mittens "Schmitts" Blumenthal, 08/09/97

Dear Schmitts,

    You were always there since I can remember. I will never forget you and all you survived through. I know sorry means nothing now, but I finally realized you needed my help to escape from your pain and suffering. I know you're happy wherever you are right now. Say hi to Beau and Fonzie, my little Queenie. I love you always and thank you for being who you were when you were here with me.

-Love Lindsay.


Mittens, 02/18/97

Mittens was our first family pet. Put to sleep on 02/18/97 when we were told she had liver cancer. She left behind a grief stricken family and in particular, a devastated 11 year old girl.

We miss you Mitt! We'll see you on the other side!

Mitzi, 12/1/97

This for my freind Jaime and her losing her precious Mitzi.
Safe journey little fuzz-butt. :'-)


Mitzi, 08/23/97

Mitzi - I will always regret not being here on the day you died.
Noone thought that anything was wrong with you, and we were so worried when we couldn't find you. I thought you were fine, I never managed in a million years that when we found you you would be dead. I wish I'd been there with you, I hope you weren't scared.
I miss the way you used to chase Cleo when she was playing with little balls of paper, and how you never wanted a toy unless she was playing with it. I miss you sitting on my lap while I use my computer...and how you used to hit the keyboard with your front paws. Mostly though, I miss the way you would lay on my lap and purr, and I would tell you how pretty you were.
You were always a lovely cat, and I love you so much.
I hope you and Cleo are together, and are happy and free from pain.
Mummie loves both her babies.

Michelle Tofts


Mitzi, 07/11/97

Mitzi was "Mommas Little Girl" who always enjoyed sharing a bag of Bugles with me, she was my bestfriend in the whole world....in good times and in bad. She would follow me all over the house, right on my heels, so she wouldn't miss a thing. I still keep her bed beside mine and tell her goodnite and "Momma Loves You" every night. I can sometimes hear her barking outside wanting to come in....sometimes I even forget she's gone and go to the door to let her back in. Once in awhile catch my other dog, Dakota, lying on her grave...it's been really hard on him to, eventhough they didn't seem to want much to do with each other I know that they loved one another dearly. I know time marches on...but sometimes it feels like its marching across your heart.

Your friendly greeting at the doorway, which was often taken for granted, will truly be missed. Your wagging tail, crooked ear, and caring manner will forever be remembered. Good-bye Mitzi......

Brothers Jim, Bob, Don, and Jason


Mitzy,

Mitzy Denson was 5 pounds of tenacity and grit. At the end she had only one eye, almost no teeth, a heart problem, and kidney disease. But she was bright and alert despite the stroke yesterday. This morning was the only time she wasn't angry when she went to the vet. It was quick and easy. She was warm and soft and listened when I told her how much she was loved and what a good dog she was. Those were the last words she heard. I only hope I can someday hear those same words as I'm dying. She was a castaway 13 years ago at the pound. She cost me a fortune in vet bills, special diets, daily pills at $1.50 a pop. She was worth every cent.


Mitzy

Mitzy, you were my little baby and you will be so very missed until the time we meet again. there will be a cold spot on my lap and a warm spot in my heart.

I love you, Mommy


Mocha, 11/11/97

Mocha, 06/11/97

Mocha you brought joy and happiness to me even though you had previously been abused. I'm glad you knew what love was for those few months that I had you. Fly free, little one, fly free. I'll see you on the bridge.

Love, Valerie


Mocha Chips (Mokie), 03/22/87-04/25/97

My 'mokie-kitty-girl', such a pretty little thing, I'll miss your purrs in my ears at night and the way you would only climb under the bed covers when called up from the foot of the bed. I'm sure your brother Buddy-bear is grieving for you too..You weren't our first cat but were the first 'little girl' in our lives..hope we meet again..dad

Can it be such time has passed?
Now you've left us, bound for Heaven
We loved you most at age eleven

Mojo, 11/96

He was such a nice boy. He loved the outdoors and he was always happy to see everyone. He guarded us with his life. We will never forget all the good times we had together. We grew up together. I know that he is in heaven now and Spot is with him. They were truly best friends and now they are reunited.

Moka, 09/01/80-02/19/97

You brought me joy for over sixteen years. Every day was a gift from God.
Little cat, I will miss you. Let me know that you are well and happy.

Ellen Jones


Mokie, 3/1/97

Mokie was the best cat you could ask for. She loved everyone she met and her face showed it. She has been a part of my life since I was four, when I found her. Now I am 18 and don't know what to do without her. She had the most gorgeous gray fur and sparkling green eyes. She would purr if you looked at her from across the room. She was quite the scrapper in her younger days, climbing trees and catching animals. As she grew older(and we turned her into an indoor cat)she became a lady. Her fur always had to be perfect and she would do everything properly. She was like that until the end. I will miss her terribly, but know that she will be okay.

Sarah Armstrong


Molly, 8/97

Molly was a gutsy little lady. She was found on a rubbish tip feeding a litter of kittens despite a crushed gangrenous back leg and tail. These had to be removed when she was rescued. She came to us and had some happy times but had been left with progressive bowel disorder due to the trauma which eventually became life-threatening and debilitating. We tried everything but had to send her over the Rainbow bridge. Like my other RB cat Pudding she is buried in the garden beneath an evergreen bush that flowers white in winter. I will take and plant a cutting in every place I live, so they will always be with me. Love you Molly.

She walked into my life with a heart of gold, and I had to let her walk out, with her heart of gold. She will always be loved.

Molly, 11/30/83-07/25/97

It is the smell of your frito feet that I miss, the feel of you sleeping behind my knee, the glee that you felt when I came home "MOM-gosh, I'm so happy you're home. Boy have I missed you!"

It is your face looking at me across the pillow when I open my eyes-your stare that said "c'mon, mom, wake up, it's time to play!" The way your paw would touch my cheek when I would cry. You are my life, even now. There will be no one that will ever live in my soul like you do, Molly. Wait for me! Go play now, go roll in the grass and play with your little piggy doll, and I'll be there, Molly to scoop you up and inhale you. I promise. I love you. Now go see Pepe. Go on, and tell him I love him.

Molly,
You have been gone for more than 2 years, but I still miss you. You never earned any titles but you were a real companion dog. I know you are happy now, back with your adopted baby Muttley and no doubt some of the other puppies you helped raise. At age 50, I've had several dogs grace my life, and I miss all of them. But I know when it comes my time to face my Maker, he'll direct me to the celestial kennels to once again see those who helped me see His love in my everyday life.

Molly, 3/2/83-3/24/97

Faithful and loving, but she never withheld her opinion. Without her persistence in laying at Barry's feet by the computer while he was studying, he may never have made it thru law school. We miss you, Beautiful Molly; I wish you could "show me your teeth" just one more time! Little Toody's lonely without you, too. (b-ca-pretzeluno.com)

Monet, 07/11/97

My dear sweet fuzzy has left for the Rainbow Bridge. He no longer has to fight the systemic infection that was reaking havoc on his little body. So great was his love, that the bridge was made visible to me 30 minutes after his death. As I was driving down the road, I noticed many cars had pulled over and the people were looking up into the sky. I looked too, and I saw the most perfect double rainbow that I had ever seen. I knew immediately that it was the Rainbow Bridge, and that Monet was there. It gave me some peace to know that he was a happy little guy again, just as I wanted to remember him.

Carrie


Monette, 5/9/81-5/23/97

You were our best friend and companion for so many years. No one could have given us the happiness you did. We used to take you everywhere, on vacation, camping, and just for rides in the car. You used to hang your fluffy little head out the window with your ears blowing in the wind. You were just another member of our little family. It has only been a month since you have gone to doggie heaven to be with lucky, but to us, it seems like forever. Now there is no one to greet us at the door after work, all excited to see us as we were you to see you. We still have all our great pictures and memories of you to be our constant reminder of how much we miss you. You will remain in our hearts and minds always and forever. We love you and miss you more then you'll ever know Monette.

Love, Mommy, Daddy and Rachel


Monique aka Pooky, 10/07/96

The only love in my life was my Monique.
Now that she's gone, I feel so alone.
Her love and loyalty surpassed that of any lifeform impersonating a human being.

Monkey, 4/19/97-11/21/97

Monkey only lived 7 months but she was a very lovable cat. She slept on my chest every night and came when ever we called her. I was with her from the minute she was born up to the minute when she died. I will never forget my little monkey. God watch over my little angle and make her whole again.

Montgomery, 3/20/81-5/26/95

Montgomery was a very brave dog who underwent bladder cancer surgery, conjuctiva tissue transplant to his eye because the medication tore a whole in his eye, GI bleed from the me dication and finally after a year had to be put to sleep because of severe pain.
My husband held while the doctor administered the injection and he was devastated and if you ask about Monty, he will start to cry.

Monty, 3/23/97

In fourteen years, we did everything: showed hunters, did dressage, and foxhunted. He was my big handsome and quiet grey horse. I made him bran mashes; he jumped fences: This was our relationship. He could be cranky at times, but then so could I. Ready for a show, his coat was glistening white. He cannot be copied or replaced; he was one of a kind. I have lost a family member.

Moon-E, 8/18/97

It has been one month 4 days and 12 hours exactly since I lost my best friend. She was the dearest part of my life.
I will miss her for the rest of my life. She was the most elegant cat I have had the pleasure to live with. I hope my friend is waiting for me at the bridge. I can't wait to see her again. Moon...I will miss you forever.

ODE TO MORONGO

I lost my best friend today,
She took her final breath and then she flew away.

To a space where she will never be hungry or cold,
To a land where there's not any pain and dogs don't grow old.

She was born in the Rockies at the dawn of a great day,
Now half way around the world, the full moon has taken her away.

More loyal than anyone I have ever called "friend",
Laying at my feet, straight up to the end.

All she ever wanted was a pat on the head and a full belly at night,
Staying by my side no matter if I was wrong or right.

Always there to cheer me up when the world brought me down,
And knew just how to lick my face to remove even the worst frown.

Now my heart has a great big hole, that only time can mend,
But you've helped me understand old girl why they call you....
MAN'S BET FRIEND!!!!

I love and miss you MO..

Motormouth, 12/04/76-01/17/92

Mouth, you were a great show dog and a better friend. You kept me company in some of my darkest days, always loving, always supporting. I miss you as much now as I did the day you had to leave. I loved you too much to let you stay, so I had to let you go. I will always love and will be with you again, someday, and with Patches and Boomer, your "kids", and those special kitties, Duff, Buddy, Toby, and little Shadow. We will all be together again one day and I will hold you and pet you as I did throughout your life. I love you, Mouth, and always will."

Moudri, 04/08/91-07/03/97

We'd been married a month when we got him, the runt of the litter weighing less than a pound. He was a black pomeranian with dark intelligent eyes. He was a loyal companion who was rarely away from my side. He gave me doting adoration that no man could ever return. He loved to run, bark, and play fetch but nothing topped "riding" in the car. He was at home at my mom's house, in-laws, and workplace as he was in my own backyard. He brought us six years of joy that no pet could ever top. He was heartbroken everyday I left for work but was the first to greet me upon my return. "Moo" shared our home with a cat but he accepted her with little fuss. I think he thought he was human because he tried so hard to imitate us. Even when I was down or sick he never left my side. I don't think anyone can understand the pain I felt when he died.
I was too young to mourn at my father's passing. My Papa's (grandfather) illness lasted over 15 years and his passing was felt as more of a release. My great-grandmother lived past the age of one hundred and her death was like the end of a long, full life.
Moudri died a hard death that no creature should ever know. My life's regret is that I wasn't there when he needed me. By the time we did find him dazed and unresponsive in his pen, he was too far gone for medical help. I am thankful that I got to hold him as we made our way to the vet. I hope he was aware that I was there and that I tried to do what I could. He died one hour after arrival at the vet, his suffering to an end. I cried tears of rage to a cruel, absent God. I later asked the same forgiveness for my anger and to help the healing start. The sorrow felt by my wife and me will one day subside, but the guilt and pain of his passing will be there until we die. They say "get on with the living" but they never tell you how to get over the dying. I laid him to rest today near the creek he loved to run beside. I planted rubrum lillies over his grave to show anyone who passed the sweetness and beauty that our wonderful dog had in him. My tears have dried and I will get on with my life but I'll never forget my "son" Moudri who gave me his unconditional love and trust. I love you Moudri.

Mouse, 11/10/83-6/96

Be'R Zchao Gwei, C.D. "Mouse" was a half size Tibetan spaniel weighing in at a whopping 6 lbs.

Our vet didn't think she'd live more than a few months. Her chest was not rounded and was pressing on her heart.

Her head was still open at 3 months. If she lived, we were told she might not be intelligent.

Mouse went on to earn her C. D. and was High Scoring Tibetan Spaniel at several large AKC obedience trials.

To us, she was our Mouse of a Million Kisses.

One day we will be with her at the Rainbow bridge

Gloria Goble


Mouse, 8/14/97

Mouse I love you tons and tons.
I loved when you washed your face with your hands and when you scared off the cats.
I hope your feet are working now and you are happy.
I hope you had a good life here and you know I love you.
I miss you.
Love, your mommy

Mouse, 08/09/97

For a Cat Named Mouse

Pretty Mouse, soft and sweet,
Dark of coat, tres petite,

Catching moths by clear moonlight.

Little Mouse, we'll miss you so.

Mouser, 09/05/97

5 Sept 1997--
Today is the saddest day of my life, for I had to put you down today Mouser. I love you so much. You have been my loving and constant companion for 18 years, ol' girl. I have been crying all morning, but I tell myself that you have gone to the Rainbow Bridge and I will think of you there as you were when you were younger. You would take that toy mouse of your's and toss it high into the air and jump up to catch it. Then you'd toss it across the room and run after it. It always made me and your daddy laugh when we'd watch you take one of your back paws and put it on that toy mouse, like you were trying to keep it pinned down. For the last year, while you were not sick, you just couldn't play like you used to. I remember how you used to reach out and touch me with your paw when you wanted my attention or wanted to talk to me. I remember how you used to always know when I was sad or had a bad day. You'd come and sit in my lap and look up at me with eyes that said "I Love You Mommy". That always made me feel better. You were such a lap-kitty. That's one of the things I loved the most about you Mouser. I guess you could tell when I first got you that I needed you to be a lap-kitty. We have always been so close and it was the hardest thing for me to do, send you to the Rainbow Bridge. I wanted to be there with you, for your last moments on earth. I hope you will forgive me for running out, but I couldn't stay and watch. Your daddy loved you, too. I am so thankful that he was strong enough to stay there with you. I knew how much you loved laying in the sunshine and how much enjoyment you got watching the birds at the feeder, laying on the chair at the dining room window. So your daddy and I buried you beneath the bird feeder, so you could watch the birds, with the sun shining down. I put your sock toy and your furry toy mouse in with you. I also put your brush in because you sure did love to get brushed. I, we, will never forget you. And while we have the other kitties, you will always be in our hearts and our memories. I will wait for the time when I come to the Bridge and you run and jump into my arms, never to be separated again.

Submitted by Kathy Lawryk to her beloved Mouser.

Mr. Aubrey (Aubrey), 07/78-11/26/97

Aubrey, you went from being my playful, talking baby to my wise elder statesman. You never stopped showing your gentle nature even to the end. I'll never forget our "conversations" and your loud "mini-roar." Even people who claimed they didn't like cats would say "I don't like cats, but I like you." Your only wish was to be petted and to fall asleep in someone's lap. Our lives are going to be very, very empty now that you're gone.

Lynn Ancona


Mr. Fielding, 6/92-6/14/97

Mr. Hufferman (Huffer), 3/6/87-9/13/97

My sweet Huffer was the best friend anyone could ever hope to have. Every night for the last 10 1/2 years he greeted me at the door with a smile, a wagging tail, and a nudge if I didn't bend down and greet him immediately. He was my guardian angel on earth and I miss him so much I ache. He had mast cell cancer for the last seven years and went through so much as we tried to cure him. Our vets said he was truly a miracle dog, since mast cell cancer usually kills within 3 months. Although I know I got to have him much longer than I should have with this disease, it still wasn't long enough. I doubt if I will ever stop missing him. I just hope he knows I tried my hardest to not let him down. Wait for me baby dog, I'll meet you again some day.

Mr Maui

Maui, You walked out of our house on Oct 20th and I'm sure you only went for a walk but you had never been out before and I'm sure you got yourself lost and you were not able to find your way home. We did everything we could do to find you but we never saw you again...We do not know where you are we only pray that someone has taken you in to their home and that they are giving you the life you love and deserve as we did...and if you were not lucky enough to find another special home we pray every day that you found safe passage over the Rainbow Bridge to a better place...We love you and miss you very much...If we could only know where you are we would all rest much easier...Tammi misses you and still cries herself to sleep at night sometimes waking to tell me that she saw you in her dreams..Is that you Maui?...If you only do one more thing for us then send us some sign that you are happy and at peace and then we will all know and understand what happened to our Maui...We love you little guy..See you someday at the Bridge

Mr. Thighs, 5/27/97

Words are inadequate to express our grief at losing you, dearest braveheart. You endured terrible abuse for nine years, you survived being shot by some terrible person, and thanks to God, you came to our house for help. You have given us give wonderful years to enjoy your love and trust, and we are so grateful to have given you five wonderful years of happiness with other cat siblings, and a loving home. May you rest in peace dearest Braveheart, until we meet again on the other side of the Rainbow bridge. We will miss your big thighs hopping like a jackrabbit into the house for your favorite treat: "libbies". Goodnight Sweetheart, Love, Mom and Dad

Mr. Top Hat (Buck), 7/79-7/28/97

Buck...you were my best friend and my closest companion. No one loved to show and please people like you did. I was once told only a few horses could ever give a trainer a name you are one of the special few. You were my life, joy, and main man for 15 years. Its hard to picture a life without. I miss you!

Mr. X, 1/2/97

Mr. X came to me as a stray. He was filthy, full of fleas, had cataracts, anemia, tapeworms, kidney trouble, and was very old. Someone had dumped him in the streets. I took him home and to the vet. He cost me thousands, but he loved me unconditionally from the start. He protected me at home and gave me enormous joy when I was lonely and going through a very nasty divorce. I will always remember the kindness within his eyes. He was so gently and a gracious, protective old boy. I miss him still but he lives on in my heart.

Muddy, 11/88-10/97

Muddy was our special baby boy. He was a gorgeous red male with beautiful features and a heart of gold. He helped us through so many difficult times. The only time I slept really well was when he was stretched out against my back sucking on the blanket as Dobermans sometimes do, the gentle tugging lulling me to sleep. When he suffered a slipped disc in his back which left him paralyzed from the shoulders back, they told us there was a 50% chance he would ever walk again. We never hesitated, knowing if any dog could overcome this injury, it was Muddy.

The local vet had always referred to him as "stoic" and everyone who knew him loved him. He came back from this surgery almost 100%, but I could see times when he seemed to slow down, when it ached to get up, but he would still strive to run and play, and to please us and his little sister Tasha. Finally another injury took the use of his front legs, and he could only lay there and moan. We knew the end had come, and my husband and I cradled him in our arms as the vet eased him onto the Rainbow Bridge path.

Our lives will never be the same. He is gone but will never be forgotten. I hope that Maggie, Misty, Satan, Jake and Brownie were all there to greet him, and prefer to picture him running pain free in a warm, sunny place. He loved to lay in the sun. Please keep our Muddy in your thoughts/prayers, and treasure your pets while they are with you.

Muffin (Peek), 11/22/97

Peek, as we called her, was a wonderful cat who was loved very much. She would come to us in the mornings and snuggle with us in bed. She had many special qualities which were sweet and personal to us and so, would take far to long to relate here. Although her life was not a long one she will always live inside us.
If you have a moment , please send a thought of love to her. We know she will receive it and send a little purrr back to you.            Thank You

Muffin, 09/90-10/23/97

Today I say goodbye to my cute kitty Muffin. She was unfortunately killed by a dog. I found her outside in the snow all bleeding and after like ten minutes of watching her bleed to death and choking on blood in pain and suffering I picked her up in a towel and ran crying to the vet in the blowing snow. She died a minute after they took her in. I remember getting her in 1990. She was actually my sisters cat but I loved her too. We have pictures of her when she was a baby. A cute little black and white cat with a little mustache thing on her cute little face. She was so cute. Now she can't come on my bed anymore like she use to. I hate that dog! I'm going to find out whose dog did it and then sue them! She was 7 years old. I will miss you Muffin. Take care of Fluffy and the other animals at the Rainbow Bridge. I'm sorry you died. Love Annie


Muffin, 10/10/78-6/23/94

A Message For Muffin

It's been a while since your arrival to "Rainbow Bridge"
We love you and miss you very much

Please take care of "Peanut" when she arrives
The last 6 months have been rough on her
It was heartbreaking to let her go
We'll see you both again one day
Forever in our hearts

Muffin was a special dog, black and white terrier mix.
My son had picked her out of a letter, she was the runt, but she grew up to be the most loving dog , and so playful. She loved children.
Muffin, we miss you and thanks for all the wonderful years and memories of your love and companionship.

We miss you, Muff, muff. Your family.

Muffin Marie, 10/12/83-09/16/97

My Muffin Marie - the little girl who came into my life and changed it forever.
The little girl who remained and grew with me for almost 14 years. You were my everything. I watched you grow into a fine little lady and then into the "matriarch" of the family. As you got older and your temperament changed "a bit," it never changed towards mommy. To you, I was always "your mommy." Until the very end, I listened to you - did as you wanted, allowed you to "be" who you knew yourself to be and experience what you knew was necessary for you to move on to that higher plane - and you did it with such class and dignity. Thank you for waking me up to say goodbye - thank you for loving me unconditionally all of your years. Thank you for teaching me, caring for me, nurturing me.. and know that I "will always remember" my precious.
I know in my heart that you are with our baby Homer and please, please accept Charley who died unexpectedly on December 24th into your arms. Treat him as your own as you did for the short time that you were together here on earth. Remind him of my love, the love I hope that you can still feel in your heart that I had and still have for you my princess. Share with and Homer - love - as only you can do. Be well and at peace my love.

Always loving you, your Mommy

Our Dearest Muffy,

Your sudden passing last April 4 made us heart-broken, though we are content that you left so peacefully in your sleep during the night, an d Mommy was nearby, so you were not alone. We've had 15 wonderful years together, and you have truly brightened our home and family with your presence. Our lives seem considerably dimmed now with your departure, but we shall always have memories of you to comfort us during our dark times. I try to think of happy moments that we've shared, but I realized that every time spent with you was a happy moment. We really miss you, Muffy, and know that we love you and we always will. We look forward to our reunion when our times here are done. Please don't forget us--for us, you will always be our baby.

Love from Heiss, Ethel, Marcelino, and Ella Ignacio


Muffy, 06/06/77-09/19/96

"Muffy" Coplen. This is for you:

When we first saw you as a puppy with your mother and brothers and sisters you were just about 2 months old. I knew you were the one for us. I only paid $5.00 for you but you turned out to be worth a "million" dollars to us. You were like a child to us, going everywhere we went. "Muffy", you so enriched our lives for 19 years, 3 months and 13 days. We love you very much always. We miss you. Your love for us and our love for you will keep us together forever and we will meet again in heaven near the Rainbow Bridge. "Muffy", you were so very special, a perfect little female dog, so much fun and so pretty with your blonde hair. We are happy that we had you blessed at church in 1994. Now we know you are in a nice safe warm and fun place and all your pains are gone and all your physical ailments are cured. "Muffy", you will always be near us wherever we are as we hold you in our hearts with all our love. God Bless you "Muffy" Coplen.

Love, Janice and Larry


Mugsy, 09/05/93-10/07/97

I will never forget you my sweet, cute, loveable dog Mugsy.
My heart was broken when you had to leave us. Our home will never be the same without you. My family and I will miss you.
Let God be with you always.

Muis, 09/08/95-08/13/96

You will always be in our memory, the way you played,
the way you gave love to us.
As tiny as you were,
you fought against your illness.
Now you can play with all your friends,
on the Rainbow Bridge.
No more struggling and no more pain
you are free now
but still in our minds.

My wonderful little boy Munchkin - You were my guiding light through many a stormy night. May this candle serve as a guiding light for you to my everlasting love. You will always be loved Munchie. The years we spent together were so precious. May these memories keep us both at peace until we meet again. With all my love, Mom.

Murdoch, 06/03/97

This is a short story about Murdoch, Murds, Murdy-boo, The Murd Man.

He was a fun-loving, slightly skinny, 4 1/2 year old Boxer. He loved his Frisbee, and would carry it around with him whenever he could. If we were at the park and it got dirty, he took it to the creek and washed it off.

Murds loved to be hugged and kissed, and he gave so much love in return. I still can't believe he died of cancer just this past June (1997). But he was a brave boy all the way to the end.

Brian and I miss you so much, Murds. I will always remember you running across the big open fields, your frisbee clenched in your teeth, and your ears flying. I'll also remember you sneaking up onto the couch, one paw at a time, until you were sprawled across my lap with your best, "Who, me?" expression on your face. You were the best, and I love you very, very much.

Love,
Mummy


Murdock, 1/97

Murdock enriched the lives of all who loved him. May his loved ones always be blessed with the memories of the happy life he led thanks to their love and caring. Murdock was homeless when Marie found him, and she has given him 14 wonderful years. God Bless Murdock and his loved ones he left behind.

Love,
Connie


Murphy, 9/10/90-11/17/97

Murphy, my baby, we will all miss you.
You have brought great joy to my life, as you were the only dog I ever had.
Granda will miss you snuggling up to her and keeping her company during the day.
There will always be a special place in my heart that will remain open for you, and the ache I feel will never pass.
You were a real trouper this morning as I held you and rubbed your tummy for the last time.
I only pray that you didn't feel any pain.
Come back to me in spirit my baby Murphy.
With love and hugs,

Mommy.

Murphy, 1980-9/94

What can I say about my Murph-man. I loved him with all my heart. He was an elderly epileptic, diabetic when I adopted him. His previous owners couldn't keep him anymore. He loved to go for rides in the car, especially when the destination involved vanilla ice cream. When he went to the Bridge it was a sad sad day. How I miss him...

Murphy Louise, 12/30/96

Thank you to all of those on the Corgi List who know the gift of having a Corgi at your ankle through good and bad times. Miz Murphy Lou was one of the biggest and best gifts I've had in a very blessed life.
