Memorials to Our Best Friends
We'd like
to thank those of you who shared these fond
memories about your pet and what made your relationship special.
In Loving Memory of Shandy and Cher You two are my very special little angels. I can honestly say that not one day goes by when I don't think of you. The companionship and devotion you bestowed on me (and your Pa) will always be remembered, appreciated, and treasured. Shandy, I miss our naps and cuddles, and every time I lie down to rest, I long to feel you nestled up beside me as you did so many times over our 21½ years together. Cher, I miss having you curled up in my lap on Sunday mornings as I read the newspaper and seeing that loving little face peeking over it. There are so many things that I miss about you two. You have always been, and will always be, my little daughters. You are my heart and soul. Even though you now live in Heaven, you will always be with us, for you live in our hearts and memories, forever safe and sound. When the time comes for me to leave my earthly life, I know we will be reunited at the Rainbow Bridge never to be parted again.
We love you, Sweetpeas
Mommy and Pa
It has been 1 year, 1 month since you left us. I still miss you so terribly. The hurt is still there and I think of you everyday. I miss holding you so so much. The tears still come with thoughts of you. I want you back so badly but I know I can't. It was your time. But I do have the knowledge that we will be together on the other side some day and I will look for you. Missing you, I so very much still have the love for you. Bye for now my little "shrimper shrimp shimp".

Memorial:
Pep,
Pup-Pup was our 6 year old son. As he moves on to a better place, he will take a large piece of our heart and soul. He was never a dog or a pet to us, he was our son and we mourn for him in that way. Forever in our heart is where you will be! We love and miss you!! Mom & Dad
For My Big Girl, Your brother misses you very much and wants to say I was very lucky to have you in my life for six years. Thank you for the memories. Love Always, T
Reina was a beautiful German Shepherd-Greyhound mix who came into our lives on a rainy day in May of 1966. She was running down Highway 60 in a terrible rain storm, with a leash round her neck. I rescued her from the storm, out there in Plant City in the middle of a busy highway, where we both nearly got hit by oncoming cars. Once she was safely in my car, she looked into my eyes, and we became "family" in that moment. We posted "FOUND" signs, and an a Tampa Tribune ad, but thankfully, nobody claimed her. Se became ours. She shared our life for five years. The night I went into labor with our daughter, this wonderful dog literally paced the floor with me until I left for the hospital. When we brought our daughter home, Reina decided that the baby belonged to her. Reina also "adopted" our now 20 year old cat, and befriended or second "find", Boochie, who became her life's companion. There aren't any words for the feeling that comes when you realize you are about to loose such an important family member. Thankfully, we were all able to say good-bye. On my 40th birthday, I guess her "birthday in Heaven" she left us. Leaving behind a legacy of love. Two humans that grieve, a 20 year old cat that grieves, a dog name Boochie, and a four year old that reminds us everyday, that her Dog is with God. Please keep our Reina, in your prayers. Yoli
She came to us as just a iguana and became a very special part of our family. She loved the light from above from FLA. to MO. Gertie played in fields from FL. to VA. to NE. and loved it all. She will always have special place in our hearts. We love your Gertie and will miss you.
Our sweet Gracie left us after a brave fight with kidney disease. She came to us after the loss of our fist Shar-Pei when we weren't sure any other dog could fill the void we felt. She picked us and not only filled the void by surpassed all expectations. She rang the bell on the door to go out, she sat and guarded the door 10 minutes before anyone was actually there, and she went to "her place" on the pillow when it was time for some TV or a nap. She learned immediately what was OK and what was "no" without any complaints. She loved her yard and the sun and just to sit on the porch and watch the world go by while I read. We shared bananas and apples and had our own special greeting when I came home everyday. I promised her she would be with me forever and I held her until she went to sleep next to me. We were blessed with her and will never forget the special love she brought to us. We love her always and will see her again. Mommy & Daddy
The reason we named you Socks is because your hind feet were white as if you were wearing socks on the kitty feet. I'll miss talking to you on the phone when I was talking to your mom Lynda. Your sweet meows of demanding to be heard on the phone will surely be missed. Now sweet kitty, it's time to give you back to God, the one who created you in the first place and gave you to us fifteen years back when we found you and your siblings in the water well shortly after your birth. We know He will take good care of you. All of my love, Aunt Mary
Cassie was adopted by my husband and I when he was 8 weeks old. He was longhaired and blonde with an amazing bushy tail. We named our new kitten Cassie because we thought it was a female; with all that long hair you couldn't really tell. When Cassie was several months old, we realized without a doubt that our longhaired female was actually a male! But we still called him Cassie and told everyone it was short for Cassius as we were embarrassed to admit we didn't know the sex of our pet! Cassie passed away 3 months ago at the age of 12 yrs., of an unknown illness that took him in less than 24 hrs. He is buried in our back yard and I always think of him with fond memories when I look that way. We love you Cassie.....you gave us more joy than you could ever know.
My beloved cat Tommy left me at 2-5-2000.I adored him and his death was a big shock for me and my family. When we picked him up from the street he was only a week old. He was starving to death. We decided to take him for a while until he got better. A month passed and he got well but we just couldn't leave him, so we kept him. In the next seven years he become a very important member of the family. But a week ago he passed away with a lot of pain, due kidney collapse. He suffered for a long time, he couldn't eat or drink anything and we had to give him water with a syringe. He had spasms all the time and couldn't even pick up his head. It was really painful to see him like that. But even in his last moments he didn't stop showing as his love. I want him to know that we will never forget him, he is deep in our painful hearts..
I MET L.B. AFTER HE HAD BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT. ACTUALLY, TWO CARS WERE INVOLVED AND HE GOT CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE. I TOOK HIM TO THE VET. HE HAD BLOOD COMING FROM HIS NOSE. I THOUGHT HE WOULD DIE, BUT THE BLOOD WAS FROM A CUT ON HIS NOSE. HE WAS THE YOUNGEST OF THREE. THEREFORE, HE BECAME "LITTLE BOY". BUT HE GREW INTO A BIG BOY(25LBS.) L.B. NOW STANDS FOR "POUNDS." TWO AND HALF YEARS AGO, WE LEARNED THAT L.B. WAS DIABETIC. HE TOOK HIS TWO INSULIN SHOTS A DAY LIKE THE MAN HE WAS. AND HE GOT MUCH BETTER. HE LOVED TO PLAY WITH CIGARETTE PACKS. HE WOULD PLAY FETCH FOR AN HOUR IF MY ARM WOULD HOLD OUT THAT LONG. HE WAS MY SNUGGLE BUNNY AT NIGHT AND SLEPT WITH US. HE WAS FUNNY AND HAD A GREAT SMILE. AND HE CALLED ME "MAMA". THEN IN MARCH HE STARTED LOSING WEIGHT. DR. BAKER, DID EVERYTHING SHE COULD THINK OF FOR HIM. FROM X-RAYS TO ULTRASOUNDS, AND I.V.'s TO GET THE FLUIDS INTO HIM. BUT AT LAST HE JUST WOULD NOT EAT OR DRINK. THEY BELIEVE HE DEVELOPED F.I.P. WHICH IS FATAL. ON THE MORNING OF APRIL 5TH. L.B. AND I SPENT THE DAY TOGETHER. WE WENT OUTSIDE AND SAT IN THE GRASS. HE WAS AN INDOORS CAT, HE ATE SOME GRASS AND WALKED TO THE ROSE GARDEN AND LAID BY THE ROSES. ON APRIL 6TH WHEN WE WOKE UP, HIS BREATHING WAS VERY LABORED. I CALLED DR. BAKER AND WE TOOK HIM IN. MY HUSBAND WHO HAS ONLY KNOWN L.B. FOR 4 YEARS CRIED AS IF HE WAS LOOSING HIS BEST FRIEND. BECAUSE, WE WERE. DR. BAKER EXPLAINED THE PROCEDURE AND GAVE US TIME TO SAY "GOODBYE". WE BRUSHED L.B. AND THEN SHE GAVE HIM THE LAST SHOT HE WOULD EVER HAVE TO TAKE. IT WAS VERY PEACEFUL. AND HE WAS GONE. L.B. NOW LAYS NEXT TO THE ROSES IN THE YARD. I THINK THAT'S WHERE HE CHOSE TO BE. I MISS HIM DESPERATELY. HE WAS MY SON AND MY LITTLE BOY. TAZ AND ZEEK MISS YOU TOO. ZEEK DIDN'T HAVE VERY MUCH TIME TO PLAY WITH YOU, BUT YOU GUYS HAD FUN IN THAT SHORT TIME. TAZ AND ZEEK SIT NEXT TO YOU AND I'M SURE THEY CAN TALK TO YOU. I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN WHEN YOU MEET ME AT THE BRIDGE. IN THE MEANTIME, BE A GOOD BOY AND REMEMBER THAT YOUR MAMA LOVES AND MISSES YOU A LOT. LOVE, BAILEY & JIM
My baby Amber, we miss you very much. You're big brother misses your morning chase and mom and dad miss your piercing bark! We wish you were here w/ us right now as we sit. You are in our thoughts and our hearts. Not a night goes by that we don't look at your pictures and remember your silly ways. The way you run in circles when it's time to go outside, how you try and bury yourself in the covers to play, and when you play hide and go seek and your little bottom is hanging out from underneath the bed to be sure we find you. You have brought a lot of joy to our lives and we will never forget your endless love you have for us. Whether you were sick or not you always had kisses for mom and dad. We love you very much and your memory will always be with us.
Loving you always, Mom, Dad and Gizmo
Ragers was my friend whom I could share all my secrets with we loved Playing ball, tug of war, I would run and hide and wait for him to find me, pretend like I was drowning in the pool and wait for him to jump in and save me. We were together all the time, he would not leave my side. I will miss you dearly my friend. Someday we will be together again.
Peaches was a wonderful friend and companion. She was truly a friendly and social girl. I miss her terribly. Sadly missed by Mary
You were the best dog a person could have. Extremely loyal to your family especially daddy. We miss you at home but even more at the cottage. you love to swim. The cats miss you being around for them to tease. We'll always love you ! Mom, Dad, Jul, and Jenn
Miss Mia girl - sitting on the dresser looking out the window...you were too young to be taken from us by such a terrible , and fast moving, cancer. We cried all night for you because it's left us so empty without you...the doctor's did everything they could - it was just your time to go with God. We will miss you everyday and hope that we will all be together again, and we can scratch your chin - and you can purr - just like you liked to when you sat on mom's lap and watched TV with her every night. We can't believe you're gone. It was so unexpected. Sleep now little Angel Mia. You have no more pain...only beautiful clouds to jump around on.
Missing you so much today and always. Your mommy's.
Breanna was the coolest Rottweiler!! She was a loyal and true friend to our family and she is greatly missed.
We love you Breanna!

Barney was a poodle who was thirteen years old. I am a woman who is 47 years old. I have never had an animal who lived that long. If Barney could talk I would be in lots of trouble, for I told him everything. he was my companion. When I was upset about my husband or anything I told him about it and you know, he really acted like he understood me. I loved him dearly and still do. I am just having trouble getting over him. Everywhere I look I see him. I try to think of all the good times which with barney they were all good times. I remember when my husband and I went on vacation and my sister-in-law watch him for us, she waited the last day when we were to be home to call us. barney was sick she said. They were frying him hamburgers and all of a sudden he had a limb. She had made the comment that if he passed away when we were gone she was going to prop him up and act like she knew nothing about it, the last time she check on him he was fine. When I came into the door he came running to me, all was wrong was he missed me. My sister-in-law was so mad at him. I asked her who the stupid one was, she was frying him hamburgers and was carrying him around because she thought he hurt his leg. He slept with my husband and I every night. I always slept with my hand around him. When we went on vacation, he went with us, he even had a special vacation hat. he had two cats for friends. When we weren't around they would all sleep together but when my husband and I were around them he acted like he hated them but we knew better. I just hope barney knows how much I miss him and love him. So to my sweet and best friend Barney I love you and miss you dearly and I hope and pray you are running and playing with your friends. Your loving mother, Connie.
When I was little, I used to tie Max up to my sled and we'd fly around in the snow. He was a big dog, and he loved to run, so he enjoyed himself, probably, more than I did. Well, one time we got lost. For about four hours, we were out in the cold snow. I was never scared though, for I had Max to take care of me. We ended up in a local gravel pit, so now I knew where we were. Funny thing was, we stayed and played for another four hours until we were tired and hungry. He was always taking care of me. He was my best friend and my one true love. No one can give you better companionship than a dog, especially if he was Max.

Oh Rox, my little "BBQ chip",
I miss you so much. You shared 17 wonderful years with me. You lost your fight with old age and Hyper Thyroid syndrome on Sunday June 4th, 2000, just a few days ago.
I just want you to know when I get up in the morning to get ready for work, and when I get home at night, and the apartment is so quiet without your demanding meow for breakfast or dinner. I cry not being able to hold you any more listening to that thing we called "instant purr, just add look". You never stopped purring until the end. I miss your purr and even your shedding on my black pants...
I hope you noticed that everyone was there to see you off on your journey to kitty-heaven, and that you are no longer in pain. I hope you have lots of butterflies to chase around now.
I know that you do not like car rides, and I apologize I had to give you one more the day we took to spread your ashes, but I hope you didn't mind too much.
I shall never forget you, or your brother Sting (whom we lost 9 years ago), and that you both will always be in our hearts.
I love you Roxxanne, I love you Sting, I miss you both so much. Everytime I hear your song "Roxanne" by the Police you will instantly be remembered.
I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge when it is my turn to meet up with you two.
-Jen, Shelli, Bruce, Tami, Rich, Lenny, and everyone else that ever knew you.
She died nearly 3 years ago and I still grieve. Isn't tome suppose to heal all wounds? why not this one?? She was with me almost my entire life from age four to twelve. I miss her so much and everyone says it will get better but it doesn't and I am beginning to call my other dog Valentines and I think of her 24/7.
My Tara was my one true friend and constant companion's will love her forever. She was the first real responsibility I ever had. I got her when I was 21 and I am now 33 almost 34. she was a black and tan full bread German Shepard. I got her when my dog coco 17 years old died of old age. I was given Tara for free from a local police dept here in Toms River N.J. Her parents were police dogs and worked with drugs and narcotics. I will be getting Tara's great, great great niece being born on July 10 2000. I will get her on September 5th. I will treasure her as much as Tara and even share Tara's toys with her. Tara had over 30 different toys.
In loving memory of Tiger, he was a special little man to everyone that knew him. There is not a day that goes by that we don't think of you. We all miss the loyalty and love that you gave us each day. You will always be in our hearts, and one day we will meet you again. We love you very much! Love Always,
The Bugmans
I never forget the last time me and you where out riding... You where so happy to came out of the stable and you jumped up and down, we could never gallop to soon.. It was one of the most joyful rides we have been on. And next day you where gone... I always remember you! You where so special fore me!
Cubby, our Jack Russell Terrier, was very active and extremely lovable. He was part of our family in every way and he brought us laughter and joy. He loved to play catch and was always excited to see us. What I miss most are those eyes looking so sincere and loving. Tragically, Cubby passed away suddenly in an unfortunate accident, he was only 2½ years old. It has been very difficult to accept that we will no longer see him and will only cherish him in photos and memories. We will love and miss him always. Sincerely, Monique, Todd, Mom, and Dad.
when we played at Christmas. I put a ribbon on her head. She was a Golden Retriever.
I have quite a few but will list only my 2 favorites: 1.The time when I was six we had only 2 dog bones left and I ate 1 of them and half of the other. Well our dog looked up at it and I gave it to him and then he jumped up on me and gave me my first kiss from a dog. 2.One day I came home from the store and found him laying on the ground, bleeding real, real bad. And just before he died he raised up and licked me one last time. And then I laid my head on his fur, I did not care how dirty or bloody it was and I cried and cried right there for 4 hours. I miss him so much. Margo
I will miss you -always
Montany
Today I lost someone
That was very dear to me
Today I lost a friend
And his name was Montany.
He was a wonderful friend
That trusted me so
I wish it didn't happen this way
I didn't want to let him go.
I wish I would have been there
So I could say goodbye
But they wouldn't let me in
I know I'll see you again some day.
I love you Montany, and
I hope you're happy where you are.
Always your friend.
Tayla
Sitting on my lap in the morning and waking me up with loud "tweeting" purrs. Maxie was my son, but he adopted me. I loved him as long as he needed me. He will forever be my "toona noona" "Lana Lee". I love you my angel, Love momma
