Waif, 1987-07/24/97

This is for Waif, my buddy and my friend. Our house is just not the same without you. May God keep you safe for me.
We miss you.

Tom, Gail and Muffin


Walter Mitty Kitty, 7/19/96

Mama loves her SchwiSchwi- thank you Walter.

Wally, 10/31/97

Wally, my 10-year old tabby, gave up his fight today...the hardest thing I ever had to do was to allow the vet to ease him out of pain and out of my life forever. How will I manage to wake up tomorrow without Wally's paw poking my eye open? How can I sit and read without him draped over my legs, drooling with contentment? How will I ever again eat ice cream without him staring squinty-eyed at me, patiently waiting for the last few drops? And how can I sleep without him curled up like a spoon inside the warmth of my body, one paw possessively holding my arm?

From the moment I found him in a garbage can over ten years ago, he was my constant companion, my comfort through crisis, and he gave only unconditional love. I wish I could have given him more, at least a few more years, but it was not in my hands. Wally, my puddinhead, I hope you found the bridge, and I know you'll still be patiently waiting for me to arrive....sleep well, dear friend. You gave me nothing but joy, and even through the hurt, I will remember.

Ward, 05/01/81-06/12/97

My 16-year relationship with Ward the Cat ended yesterday. He had cancer and diabetes. We went through college and law school and job changes. He was a constant devoted friend through trying times. He had a purr like a diesel truck and liked to crawl under the covers in the morning.

Stacy


Watson, 02/85-03/31/97

In memory of my beloved Watson. You never needed words, your beautiful brown eyes conveyed more than could ever have been spoken. You possessed a spirit that we humans could only wish to emulate. Giving you up was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I will be with you again. You will live forever in my heart.

Patti O'Neal


Watson, 10/08/96

Watson was a great dog and will be missed by everyone who knew him. I love you, Wats.

Webster

Webster, my beloved Cocker Spaniel, was born 7/25/86 and died 8/16/97. He was a wonderful pet. He knew all of my emotions and always responded appropriately. I will never have another pet like him. He was truly and special dog. I will always miss him greatly.

Stephanie Palmer


Webster (Kandlewick's WiseGuy CDX,CGC,TDI), 10/25/89-08/28/95

There was life before WEBSTER
 Life with WEBSTER and now
  Life without WEBSTER

He stole our hearts and changed our lives,
 exceeded all expectations and will never
            be forgotten.

           WE MISS YOU

Weens, 1981-08/20/97

Weens, the best cat and the best friend a person could have.

Nancy App


Weeter, 1984-9/24/97

To the bravest little trooper of them all: You endured all the treatments and surgeries for skin cancer with such grace, dignity and patience. Yet we lost the battle in the end. Your soft white fur, big 6-toed paws and beautiful odd eyes of green and blue will always be in my memory. We had a wonderful 13 years together, the best years of my life. Thank you for coming to visit me one last time before you crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, it was a blissful moment. May you always walk in the sunshine, cool breezes and the soft green grass up there in heaven. You will be loved and missed forever.

Cynthia Erdelyi


Wendie Lou, 09/09/75-11/15/93

My Baby, My Girl, My Lou-Lou
For 18 plus years of unconditional Love.
We will snuggle again when we meet at Rainbow Bridge.

Belinda Sullivan


Wesley, 4/26/93-6/24/97

Wes, we can't believe that you are gone. You were truly a loving dog, always licking us on our faces, hands, legs and sneezing on us like all Pugs do. You taught your buddy dog (Geordi) how to do tricks for treats. Geordi misses you so much these days all he wants to do is sleep and he has stopped eating. We miss the snoring you would make while sleeping. Will the day come when I stop looking for you in your bed and your favorite spot in the back yard? Will the day come when I stop crying for you? only when we are finally together on Rainbow Bridge.
We miss you.
We love you Wes.

Robin


Whatley (Squashy), 04/04/86-04/07/97

My baby, my companion, my friend who gave pure love all his life.

Sandra Morrison


Wheatleigh, 1/9/86-12/15/97

A real character and a joy!
She even had her own web page!
http:www.geocities.com/paris/leftbank/5515/wheatleigh.html

She was a "puppy" for so long, and grew old so quickly.

Ronald Kurzawa


Wheezer, 10/21/79-12/13/97

My Friend Wheezer

You were always there for me - providing unconditioned love. Always wanting to please and protect me. Today I hope I proved my unconditional love for you. I released you to romp in RAINBOW BRIDGE - but only til can be make it there myself. I know you'll be safe and well cared for. When you miss, just think of me - cuz I'll be there. I love you baby and will miss you. But I'm comforted knowing I'll see you again. Love you always and forever - MOM!

Inez Rodriguez


Whip's Brother, 8/3/97

His name is Whips Brother I always thought "What a lousy name for such a handsome horse." so I called him handsome.

He was everything you would wish for in a horse, big, tall gentle, for a old lady he took me for rides in the woods on uncharted trails to the Blue Ribbon at the Biggest and Best horse show around.
He would call to me if he saw me out in the yard with my flowers.
I would brush him and coo to him and tell him how handsome he is. Every one that had the honor to see him would say to me what a nice good boy horse you have.
I loved him dearly, my heart is broken, the tears won't stop flowing, I can't go down to his stall, no one can share my grief cause they didn't know him like I did. They didn't see him give me kisses and him running around shaking his head the mane and tail flowing in the breeze. Run up to me and give me hugs follow me around the corral like a puppydog.

woofus I miss ya 1/8/84 - 8/3/97

Whirlwind, 11/20/90-11/4/97

Whirlwind ("Windy" or "Whirly" to his friends) was a loving, happy greyhound who was retired from the Seabrook, New Hampshire racetrack in August 1994 at the age of 3 1/2. Windy was a favorite of the local adoption group - everybody looked forward to his visits to adoption clinics. His foster family, who took care of him when he was first released from the racetrack, loved him so much it was hard for them to give him to me. He was a leaner - it didn't matter if he knew you or not, he would lean his head on you and wait till you petted him. He never had to wait long.

He was a good friend to my other dogs and my cats. He insisted on sleeping in my bed, and being the tall boy that he was, he usually took up more than half the bed when he stretched out. I lost Windy to bone cancer. It advanced incredibly fast - he was gone less than six weeks after diagnosis. He died Tuesday, November 4 at 10 PM at the vet clinic. He was 7 years old. I will miss him forever.

Edith


Whiskers, 3/92-5/4/97

Whiskers was very special in so many ways. He was cuddly and loveable, yet independent as well. I always knew he loved me and I loved him so much. There are so many reasons it would take pages to write it but I know that I will never forget him and that in my heart he'll always be my little baby.

Jamie Michael


Whiskers, 2/19/97

I don't know why God took Whiskers. I just spent the past 6 months nursing him back to health after his former owner neglected him and I thought everything was ok. He was like another one of my children and his death is a shock. We are all going to miss him.

Amy Waitekus


Whispa, 05/20/96-12/21/96

My dear little Angel, Whispa, there hasn't been a day gone by that I haven't said good morning, good night and I love you. I miss you so much, you were my birthday present along with Cleo and Bismarck. You was the first little baby I saw in the cage that day in July. Three little throw-aways we will never regret adding all of you to our home and 3 other little ones. I don't think I'll ever get over the loss of you, I fought so hard for you and I know you gave your all and was so brave right to the end and I know you didn't want to leave either. I only hope that my other pets are looking after you. You never knew all the love and fun you would have in our house along with all your other "sisters and brother". We took in two more in January, Poppy who was an abused tabby and Kipper who was in the Vet's. I will always search for you until I can hold and cuddle you in my arms as I did for those few hours until I had to let you go. I'll always wonder if I did the right things for you. I love you my Whispa. Please come back to me in some form, I will know you. Love from Mommy, Daddy, Pumpkin. Susy, Tabitha, Muffin, Cleo, Bismarck, Kipper and Poppy xxxx

Whisper, 05/31/83-09/21/97

Whisper joins her silly brother, Dex, and darling mother, Dandi, tonight. They filled my life with unlimited wonders - soft, fuzzy faces, interesting smells, amusing games, steady demands and unwavering love. Not one of them had a lick of sense or any manners, but they were WONDERFUL friends! I love you guys forever. Wait for me....

I will miss you always

Whitney, 1/28/97

Dear sweet Whitney, you were such a good dog. The way you loved to roll around on the perfume samples that came out of the newspaper will stay in our hearts forever, just as you will. Our only regret is that you had to leave us so suddenly. I think Morgan said it best when she came to the vets office to say goodbye to you, she said "I love you Whitney and I hope you have a good time." We do love you Whitners and we miss you so very much.

Love, Mama, Papa, and Morgan


Wiggles, 05/14/81-01/23/95

My first furbaby and the joy of my life.

Debbie Gleason


Willard, 06/12/97

He may have just been a little mouse, but Willard brought much joy into our lives. He was a smart little fellow, always happy and glad to see us. He loved pockets and playing with the tv remote. I'll miss the sound of his wheel and the way he would ride on my shoulder in the morning when I went to get my coffee. There will never be another mouse like Willy boy.

Denise Lewis


Willie, 12/12/97

We miss you so bad, Mr. Greybeard. I know you're here with me in spirit, but I miss watching you sleep on the couch. I love you WeeWee. Keep Tigger and Tiger in line on the Bridge....

Janet Messer


Willie, 10/11/73-4/14/88

My Willie died 9 years ago, I just found this page now. We were best friends, we were the same age. I knew when he died, my childhood was really ending. I have grown, and I have a new dog, but I still feel the pain of this early loss.

Jacqueline Dotson


Willie, 1/27/96-9/29/97

Sweet Willie, I'll never know just how much pain and confusion you had going on in that little head of yours, I only hope that you are finally at peace. I picture you romping with Baby Donkers, Boo, Vegas, Kitty, Kimball, and the rest. They will take good care of you until I see you again.
The house is so empty and quiet without your beagle voice singing its songs. Dino is taking good care of me and the cats, but we all miss you more than we can say.
I will think of you whenever I hear the "Barber of Seville" music.
I will love you forever and will never forget the love we had for each other. Although we had such a short time together, you changed my life more than you'll ever know.

I miss you, Sweet Willie.

Love, Mama

Molly Walsh and Joe Kemper


Willie, 2/18/92

I love you Willie.

Sandy Howard


Willis, 08/19/81-06/13/97

Willis was the greatest dog in the history of dog and the handsomest dog in all of dogdom. He knew no tricks, he couldn't fetch anything, he just wagged his tail and licked my face! I loved him more than life itself and am so thankful God let me take care of him. See you again someday Willis, I love you joy boy!

John Meissner


Willow, 9/14/97

My sweet, gentle Burr. You left me unexpectedly, but quietly.
I will always miss your soft meow, the gentle paw pats on my cheek and yes, even the shoulder full of drool that you always left for me after your nap. I hope that you are in a wonderful place full of sunny windowsills, many blind cords to bite and an angel's shoulder to sleep on. I will never forget you my friend.

Jille Crowe


Willy, 08/22/97

Dear little Willy,
You were a wild little thing. In death you finally have a home. Sleep well little one.

Joe and Bev Iorio


Windsor Phillip Jones, 9/23/97

Windsor, you were more than just a cat to us; you were our friend. You had such a distinctive personality. You are the only cat we ever knew who slept lying flat on his back, or who would "woof" at us when he wanted our attention. We miss how you didn't mind baths and loved to lay in the sprinkler; we miss you following us around like a dog, and sleeping with us at night. Our hearts and our home are so empty without you. We love you, little buddy, and we miss you more than anyone will ever know.

Amy and David Jones


Windy C., 2/14/83-10/25/97

Windy was and shall always be my first dog. Windy lived a good and long life in La Jolla, California. She was named after Windansea Beach where we lived and where she left us to cross Rainbow Bridge. She loved to drink beer and I let her, but not too much or too often because she would start to fart which could be worse than geese farts on a muggy day. I will miss my "Weezer" who was also called, "Windy Weezer, the Woozy Boozer Dog" or "Breezy-Gusty-Windy-Girl." She was much loved and I was blessed to have been her "dad." Thank you, Cindy and David for finding her for me so long ago in April, 1993. Love, C.B.


Winnie, 06/08/89-03/01/97

Our bond was one of true friendship. My heart aches with your passing. Know that your spirit will live in me always. I love you. Good bye, until we meet again.

Tom Gentner


Winnie (Pooh-Bear), 07/14/85-07/17/96

Winnie was the most perfect soul I've ever known. He was so sweet and gentle and wise. I have never known him to hiss or raise his paw in anger to anyone or to any creature.
He loved everyone, but he loved me and his brother Tuppence and sister Katie the most. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, a little crossed, but full of joy and mischief.
I couldn't believe it when he died, I thought that his generous big heart would never stop beating. When his heart stopped, my heart broke into a million pieces.
There will never be another Winnie, I know that he was special and that I was blessed to have been his mommie.
When friends and family asked me what they can do or get me to make me feel better I want to tell them: you can't give me what I really want, what would really make me happy.
All I want is for my Winnie to come back to me again!
I want to hold and kiss him and I want to feel joy in my heart again, instead of the emptiness that his passing left behind.
I miss you baby and I will love you forever! Wait for Tuppence, Katie and Mommie on the Rainbow Bridge.

Susan Briggs


Winnie II (Little Pooh), 09/19/96-03/03/97

Our sweet, beautiful and brilliant blue-eyed angel who loved alfalfa sprouts and raw carrots on top of his cat food and loved to snuggle with his big sister Katie (our elderly Siamese kitty), we thought that you would be with us forever. We only had you in our home and hearts for two short months before the Doctor diagnosed FIP. You were sweet and brave and so loving right up to that terrible Monday night when you died in our arms. The virus ravaged your little body, but never your spirit! We miss you so much little angel! You never knew your big brother Winnie I, but we know that you will love him too. He will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. Go with God and wait for us and the day when we can be together. We will always love you!

Susan and Grandma


Winston Longstreet Kirby, 5/6/96-12/11/97

Winston was a very loyal and loving dog who's time on earth was short and sweet.

Bill Kirby


Wishbone, 3/12/95-8/16/97

I never thought that I could ever love an animal as much as I loved Wishbone. She was so loyal and loving towards me and I feel so lucky that she was a part of my life, if even for a short while. When she started getting sick I got scared but couldn't take her to the vet because of money. Finally I begged my mom to let me take her, that I would find the money somehow. She was diagnosed with parvovirus and two days later she passed away. I buried her myself with a new collar and a toy she'd have to play with, it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I try not to be sad because I know that wherever she may be she's happy and healthy, but there will always be a something missing inside me. I love you Wishbone and we'll be together again one day I know.

Holly White


Wolfgang (Wolfie), 08/22/97

I honour you Wolfie for giving me such a wonderful 10 and 1/2 years of your love. I am glad that I could say goodbye to you even though it was so painful and I miss you so much. One day you and I will meet at the rainbow bridge and I will hold you in my arms again. We'll hug and snuggle and then we'll run and play.

Loving you always,

Helen


Woolfie (Wolfgang), 11/14/86-10/12/97

As are all beloved pets, our Woolfie is/was always will be our beloved child, best friend and companion.
We yearn for him still, and always will. He was wonderful, beyond my understanding, and a void has come into our lives we can't imagine filling - only by him. But - I believe Woolfie in all his universal love with all his friends, human and pet, would want us - his mommy and daddy - to have more/many pets to love and bring to the rainbow bridge too. We will again, I'm sure get another pet - but grieving time for Woolfie feels as tho it could go on so long - the loss is so enormous - his life and every moment with us was love and perfectness. He was with us when he went, woke us up to say bye, and left while we petted him - .Thank you Woolfie for this gift of letting us be with you. Our inner child, as is our outer child is now gone. Someday, we will try and find it again through one of Woolfie's kin. Woolfie, you are in our hearts forever and ever. We miss you baby.

Luv always,
Mommy and Daddy, Ronda, Kurty, Bobbie, Janie, Katey, Bailey, and the countless other people you befriended through the years that singled you out as their best friends, and last but not least, Nickie (who I know you are with now) your girlfriend. XXXOOO Later Woolf


Wolfie, 10/1/95-06/16/95

To My Wolfie--
I miss you so much. I miss your ice blue eyes, your loud and very human sounding meow.
I miss the way you butted your head into my hand for more caresses.
I miss the way you would just leap into my lap so easily.
Most of all I miss the joy you brought into my life, and the way you made me smile even when you were misbehaving.
I know in my head that I did the right thing for you, and I did my best to stay with you until the end.
I would never leave you, my gato fregado, my gato paton.
Please find Squeaky and Berenice and then go to be with Mama and Daddy. I know they will take care of you. I know you won't be deaf in heaven. I know you won't have FeLv in heaven.
I will always miss seeing you stretched out or curled into a ball under the shade tree.
Te amo, mi gato. Te abrazo aunque no estas aqui. Nunca te olvidare.
Goodbye, My Wolfie. I will never stop loving you or missing you.

Gabby Perez


Wookie-Bear, 01/05/97

In memory of a loyal and loving pet...

Wookie-Bear (named after the Star Wars character) was a gentle giant. At 85lbs he always got peoples attention.
Despite his intimidating size, he was kind-natured and to us was a big, cuddly teddy bear.
He was our loyal friend and protector for 12 years and will be sorely missed, but we know that he has found peace now.

We love you Wookie, and you will live in our hearts forever!

Heather West


Worf, 09/05/97

Our "special" boy, Worf had fought since May to survive. He'd come from an unhealthy birth environment. Our first weekend together he laid on my lap dying, as I sat in front of a fan and tried to break his fever.

Although he was nearly constantly ill with something, he was happy and fun. His nickname was P.Y.Psychotic... he'd jump in the tub with me to take a quick dip. He rode tractors, chased snakes, and loved to play with his brother.

How unfitting that he should die from a broken neck received when he was struck by a car between 5:30 and 6 am, cst, on 9/5/97.

Fare well my wild child, I miss you horribly. We all do.

Mamma, Poppa, Myth, Eek and Kern.

Rachel Kmiec


Wulfgar, 12/28/86-12/23/97

To Wulfgar my beautiful Alaskan malamute:
    I miss you so much it hurts. My heart's broken. For your lovely company; for the long walks and hikes in the woods; for always stopping and smelling the flowers like you had all the time in the world; You taught me to do the same and look at the wonder and beauty of it all. I thank you and I will always love and miss you.
                         Your human mom,
                          Myra
