Smokey came into my life when I needed my heart healed, My brother had just died in Sept 2002 in a motto cross accident. Smokey was an 11 week old blonde chow, and with the best attitude any dog could have. She was smart, potty trained her by 13 weeks, and had a personality of a cat, she would let you love her when she thought it was time, any other time she would look at you and just walk away. But when I needed that special hug she knew and was right by my side. She loved me and I Loved her with all my heart. To loose her felt like I again lost part of my heart. Smokey I miss you so very much, I know your not in pain any longer. You will live on in my heart forever. Tazzy and Coco (Our other pets) Miss you and I don't think they quite understand where you are. Love you my babe girl, You brought so much love into our hearts its going to be hard to go on every day with out you there for your morning belly rubs, your squeaky toy, funky monkey, I will keep everything that meant something to you. You proved everyone wrong who said chows are not good pets, cause you out done any other breed. Good Bye my sweet Babe Girl. Love mommy
Our beautiful boy, Honda, a black Greyhound, was the very best. So loving & always wanting to please. He loved his naps and never met a couch he didn't like. He loved to ride in his Dad's van or Mom's station wagon. We feel our time with him wasn't nearly enough, but God had other plans for him. We know he is with us in spirit and in our hearts forever. Rest peacefully Big Guy. Mom & Dad love you.
Cleo can to us in 1990, a stray in heat. She was neutered soon after and became our pet. She was very shy and it took several years before she would sit on laps and show affection, she seemed to be a very sad kitty. She settled in our family for over 14 years and was a devoted friend. She soon because old but not in pain so we cared for her, she because very, very old and on New Years Eve she passed away naturally and peacefully.
I got Dino and Emily when they were 5 days old. They were #12 and #16 pups out of a litter of 16, with 5 born dead. I bottle fed then and took them to work with me daily until they were a boy 8 weeks old. They were my Kids and a prouder parent is no where to be found. Everyone loved them after they met them as they were Rotties. They both were so loving and my pride and joy. After almost 14 years of precious joy, Dino passed away and two days later Emily died in here sleep. They had never been separated, not even for one day. Now they run at Rainbow Bridge and I will see them later as they will be waiting for me. Mamma Loves you!!!!!!!!!!
Loving each other like we where family
My little buddy and my son passed away this weekend. I found Squeek and his sister Baby in a shed around 14 years ago. They were only days old. I bottled fed them both and was the only Mom they ever knew. They have been my kids and my best friends for many years. Last year he along with me and their other Mom, Lisa, Daniel, Baby, Stinky, Shilo and Wylie traveled in a mini van to our new home here in Florida. Squeek developed cancer a few months ago. It took him very quick. I have never felt a loss like I do now. But his spirit will live on in our hearts forever. We all miss you so much Squeekie..and we will love you forever...Love your Mommy
Lois would wake us up in the morning and lick my face, I was her guy. She has a brother Clark who now has a bone tumor so we know someday that they will be together again both over the rainbow bridge and in our home. We loved Lois very deeply and from the time she showed symptoms of her saddle thrombus to the time she crossed the bridge was less than 1 hour. She is behind our eyes now instead of in front of them. No Papa could have loved you more. We have a new humbleness now in our lives. Lois changed us for the better. God bless you Lois forever, someday we will hold you again. Your Papas, Bill and Bob.
Bronson changed our lives. He was the most wonderful and loving dog in the world. We feel very fortunate to have had him in our lives. We constantly wonder what we ever did to deserve such a wonderful blessing. We miss him greatly, but are even more grateful that we were blessed with his love and companionship. We love you Bronson- you got your wings!!!
Everyday was a great day with Bronson. My husband and I are grateful for everyday that we could spend with him. He changed our lives and we often wondered what great things we did to deserve such a wonderful dog. He was truly a blessing. So Bronson, you've got your wing, we love you and miss you everyday!!
Buskit was adopted from Friends of Strays as a birthday gift to me. I was still grieving the loss of Lulu five months earlier. She was a beautiful brown tabby with a sweet and loving disposition and welcomed baby sister Mini a few years later and shared her home and her toys with Mini. I took her to bed with me in the crook of my neck when I first adopted her, and she wanted to lay there (and on my head) even as a 12 pound adult. Buskit was the perfect cat. She died suddenly and unexpectedly at a very young age. I have a hole in my heart missing her but she did not suffer and I will never forget her - Baby Buss, Scatter, Bussykat you are my angel. I will never forget your love and sweetness.
Pookie was the best cat in the world I love her dearly and miss her each day I wish that terribly day never happened it was to heartbreaking.

My Gypsi was a very loving dog. She always knew when I needed her to play or to comfort me when i was down. She was very protective of our whole family. She was especially protective of my son. When other dogs would play ball at the park or the beach she would only make sure she could see my son. She would whine and yet at him when she could not see him. Although my son thought her not playing was mean I knew better. I knew she was just that loving of him. When we would go to the beach she decided she had to have her own float and would have me or my son pull her around. She was a very funny dog. She loved to talk to us and would tell when dinner was late and when she wanted something and she would tell us when she was mad at us too. Although all we could do was laugh. She was so funny and cute. Unfortunately she was only able to be here with us for 6 years and then we found out she had cancer. Even after that we did surgery and tried everything we could to help her. We were able to have another 5 weeks with her before it was time and we enjoyed those weeks. I know that Gypsi will forever be in our hearts and minds. We will never forget you girl and please know that you have left a lasting impression on this family and you are missed more than words can say. WE LOVE YOU GIRL!!!
Our dearest little girl gave us 19 1/2 years of laughter, joy, happiness and most of all...LOVE. Our hearts ache and are empty without her. She lives on with her sisters Susie Q and Evie.
I will always remember our camping adventures, walks in the summer sun, and the mill stones of your life. I'll always remember how you would lay your head in my lap and just look at me, and if I didn't give you the attention you wanted immediately, how you would put your paw on my lap as if to say, "hey, pay me some attention". I will also always remember your silly game of potch my butt and I'll run around like a mad woman acting silly. You are my best friend and my daughter and will always be in my heart. Love Always, Mommy
Rocky was very special to me, he was bought to replace a foster child whom had moved to a new family. He was named Rocky, because he had black around his eyes , like Rocky Balboa the fighter. We nick named him Rocky Bock. He was terrified of storms, running away and he even jumped into my refrigerator when the neighbor kids did fire crackers. He hated going to the vets, he would bark loudly. He was a cute little tan Shi Tzu who made our lives much happier because he choose us for his family. I think God helped us choose to put Rocky to sleep, making it possible to understand how very sick he was, and to end his life with dignity and peace. He loved our other animals, especially our black lab, Bosley. He enjoyed camping and playing. But he loved getting petted the most. I know he is not alone in Heaven, because later that day my sister's dog Macey passed away, and I think they are on a special camping trip with God and Our Mother now. We miss you Rocky and we will always love you. Goodbye sweet Rocky Bock......
Missy adopted me when she was 2 years old. We became best friends and she was queen of the house. I could always look forward to coming home and knowing that I would be very welcomed. I miss her and her heartfelt devotion. There will never be another "Missy Girl" and I know she waits at the "Rainbow Bridge" for her mom. As they say "the good die young" and Missy was just shy of her 11th birthday! I love you Missy!
all the times she came to the door with the ball, all the times she robbed our food and all the times we laughed and played even the times we were angry but now we would take it all back for just one moment together love you Georgia xxxxx Billy, Mummy, Becky, Oliver, Alfie and Dad + Louis
we really really really really miss you tiger. why did you have to leave
I can not believe I am back at this again how much should one family have to take in 2 months. I wish I could see you again Sonya. We are very grateful for the 12 years or so we had with you girl. I know that you gave us all your love and affection even thru your pain and you were the greatest even right up till the end. We shared everything from the time we were able to take you from the bad people that had you until the very end when we did not want to let you go. But i know that you are pain free now and you are happy with Gypsy and all your kids. Baby girl Me and Daddy and Tyler and Grandma all miss you very much. I still listen for the tail slapping the wood floors when I come home and for you to be laying in the hallway making me step over you. Grandma misses you very much too. You were her buddy. We all had a lot of fun together and we will never forget you. You will be in our hearts forever. We love Our Baby Girl!!!

February 16, 1995 - February 18, 2005
He had the biggest heart for such a small dog. He always welcomed us home with a big butt wiggle. He loved to snuggle and always found a way to sneak under the blankets in the middle of the night. He loved to watch the Patriots and would get all excited to put on his Troy Brown jersey. The house is not the same without him and he will forever be in our hearts and memories. We love you Tony Bones!
Hello...this is the first time I have ever seen your site. Right now my heart is breaking terribly. Yesterday (March 11, 2005) at 12:25 in the afternoon I lost my beautiful and very much loved dog "Goldie". Goldie was an 11 year old golden retriever. She was a wonderful dog and everyone loved her. She was very "lady-like" and no one could resist her. Goldie was so kind and gentle. I love Goldie so much. I am having such a hard time without her. She had many different "spots" in the house that she loved to lay in. Whenever I look at these places I can imagine her laying there and I just fall to pieces crying because she's not there. I know that Goldie is in a better place now but it still doesn't take the hurt away that's in my heart for her. My husband and I were not expecting her to die this young. We had taken Goldie to the vets and was told that she possibly had a blockage of some sort in her esophagus. They said it might be a foreign object that could possibly be taken out if they went down her throat with an instrument that had a camera on the end. If it was a foreign object and it wasn't "lodged" in her esophagus then it would be removed and she would probably be home that same day. ( Goldie's heart, lungs, stomach, intestines and bowels were all in great shape so we had a very healthy dog with the exception of the "foreign object" in her esophagus.) We had to take Goldie to Florida Veterinary Specialists Hospital which was three hours away from where we live. After the specialists looked at Goldie's x-rays and then phone our vet back home and talked to him they came in and gave us the heartbreaking news about Goldie's health condition. We were told that Goldie had megaesophagus which is a muscular failure in her esophagus. She did not have any kind of blockage at all. The muscles in her esophagus just stop working and the food and water cannot enter her stomach. The reason this happens in unknown and the worst of it is that it is not operable and there is absolutely nothing they can do to correct it. Everything we could do for our Goldie was done already. We had to leave her go so she would not suffer any more. It was the absolute hardest thing in the world for me to do. My Goldie died in my arms with me telling her I was so so so sorry for not being able to help her any more and that the only reason I was doing this is because I love her so very much. I miss my Goldie so much I don't see how I am going to manage without her. I want her back and I know that is not going to happen. It isn't fair. I sure hope they are right about time healing all wounds. Marge Doucet I love you Goldie xoxooxoxo
In memory of our dear Elmo, a handsome boxer/rottweiler. rescued at 8 weeks old and lucky to have for 15 years. Just a dog, some people say, in a cold and callous way. They cannot understand, nor perceive, the pain involved in your Earthly leave. Together, from when we were child and pup, we watched each other, as we grew up. Tried and True, until the end. A protector, companion, and my friend. A friend, truer than any other. Your loyalty and devotion made you a brother. As you aged, and became frail and grey, I dreaded knowing I'd face this day. I'll remember you, though, the way you were: midnight-black muzzle, and brilliant rust fur. Your chest and paws, so big and strong. Your eyes so brown. Your snout so long. Menacing to strangers, they looked at you in fear, but those blessed to know you, knew your demeanor, gentle and dear. You'd greet everyone you knew, with happiness and vigor. Your kisses so warm. Your hugs couldn't be bigger. Thank you, for being so caring and sweet. Thank you, for all the nights you slept at my feet. Thank you, for being such a good boy. Thank you, for all the happiness and joy. The love unconditional you gave, remains in my heart. Though you are gone physically, your spirit will not depart. As I felt you breathe your last breath that day, these are the words I forgot to say: "As your wonderful life on Earth comes to an end, know this, you were more than just a dog, Elmo, my brother, my friend ".
Tigger, Tiggie Whatsit, T Man, our Dearest Tig, You are the sweetest, most wonderful cat, my eternal best friend ~ your intense interest in all things outdoors, we found you in a litter of tiger kittens, the only boy, you as a baby, the most exquisite purr ball, curled up on my pillow, you made it your new home. The years in Florence country side, while the boys were young, your forays into the woods, flowers and fields, your enjoyment of the fresh air in all seasons, your lazy contentment hanging out on the porch banister, your running sideways over the window one day in a mad chase with Remington, your amazing tolerance of him, to begin with; your welcoming Emmy as though she were your own with kisses and lappings, and offers of protection as only an older cat could offer her. And years later, off to Nashville, along the way in motels that would allow kitties that I had reserved beforehand, you, unsure, going to corners of rooms and meowing 3 times to the ceiling until you became accustomed, your ability to travel not in your pet carrier but happily on top of it enjoying the views, the big move to your new home in a spacious place where you had to become a relatively indoor kitty most of the time, but you seemed content. Coming back the first day to find you and Emma standing at the window side by side, with your heads facing out the window, waiting for us, trying to figure out where on earth you were, the contentment of your new surroundings, the settling in, your amazing adaptability. Bringing you back to New England a year later, where you smelled the differences in the air, your absolute enjoyment of being once again in your native environment, and you, discovering skylights and the roof, and showing up at the skylight to be let in, or at the windows adjoining the porch roof, to look in and peer at us and tap on the window, you were so funny. How your favorite sunny perch became the porch roof next to the stairway, where nothing on earth could bother you, where you could view all on the ground, especially the dog you never liked, next door. The favorite places in the yard, which are still there, waiting for you. The years and years of incredible love and companionship you gave to us. Your trust in me, to help you when you became so suddenly ill. Your bravery and strength, in living through your battle with cancer. Your undeniable joy, in coming home from hospitalization. My visits with you each day while there, sitting at the window where you could look outside and smell some fresh air, your tail switching back and forth with genuine curiosity, your progressing day by day to some wellness and eating out of my hand for the first time in a week, you were, and are such a true wonder. Our joy at your joy, at your enjoyment of going outside while recovering, our joy at your every new bit of strength, when you wanted to walk down the stairs on your own, and how you started again to run up the stairs, walking into the house quite proudly, how we rejoiced, appreciated your every ability to regain your health, your jumping up on beds, to see us. Your deep much-needed rests, that you were finally able to get, once home, the sanctity of knowing your precious body needed it, all the work your wonderful body was so busy doing, the blessing of knowing you were finally comfortable enough to rest and sleep like that again, at home. Your wanting to socialize and your evenings each nite on the couch, your joy at your favorite place for nesting in the closet, your discovery of new places to hide when you needed some space, your enjoyment of the grasses and twigs and leaves, sights, sounds and smells in your daily outings, your sudden interest in food which we realized was a huge victory combating the kidney levels that had made you so nauseous. We were so proud and happy for you, and always will be, at how your kidneys made the adjustment to the cancer and started working again to balance levels out for you, and that you had some time, some really good time, feeling much better. Those are and always will be, the sweetest days of my life. I know that it was a true privilege for us to have cared for your needs in sickness, Tigger, and that you allowed us to, ever so kindly, so tolerantly, even when it was uncomfortable at times, we would have done anything to have saved your life, to support you, and I hope you know the depth of our combined total love for you. Your new ability, from the experiences of your illness, to be comfortable at the vets, to grow more sociable, more sure of yourself at every visitation, visiting with people who you never met, your paws tucked under your chest, almost smiling away at them while they talked to you, your ways were a real pleasure to all who met you. You were a true trooper, a remarkable amazing boy. We found the best experts, yet medical science still truly failed, with cancer. To find you suffering when I got home from work after you made so many leaps and bounds, I am glad that you had not been alone that night for long, that it had happened in less than an hour's time; I only wish you had not been alone for that at all, and that you had not gone through that; and how genuinely powerless I was, as your protector, at being unable to stop the processes that were taking over, or the vets, in the end; the race to the hospital and how you responded to their medical care well within 3 hours time; I did not expect to lose you that day, but I know you were struggling then to live, that it was hard, and that your were scared at times, as I was, at what was happening to you. The vets were running tests to find out what was going on for you. I am grateful they allowed me to stay, and to massage your legs as they instructed, and to comfort you, grateful that you felt my kisses on top of your head and that you let me know that, grateful that you let me care for you as well as we could, grateful that if you had to go through this, that we could do it somehow, together. You are a deep and rich powerful inspiration to me Tigger, and you always will be. Your dignity, your courage, your ability to let me know what you needed. I have been devastated at losing you, nothing has ever reached into me like this, to my core. Your innocence, and your love, your incredible loyalty all of your life. Your life, has been a life changing experience for us all. You profoundly impacted us all, as Tyler said. Luke misses you terribly, but has been brave, brave enough to handle it, yet brave enough to truly cry his deepest sadness for you. The boys cried for hours, together. Tyler cried and cried, the first night he learned you had cancer, and the night I came home with the bad news of losing you. You are our boy, and always always will be, eternally, spiritually, hugely. The Dr. said to remember you in your health, that that is your lasting gift to us. We always will, those are the most sweet memories, but we will never forget your courage through you illness either, your amazing ability to deal with it and to survive. You taught us all, so incredibly much. We were so lucky to have shared our lives with you, a once in a lifetime kind of bond, it is, and always will be, more special than any relationship I have ever known. Thank you for letting me love you all of your life. Your spirit, is immense and immeasurable. All of our love, to you, sweet Tigger, you rest now and for the rest of our lives, in our hearts, the place that is the truest home we can offer. We look for you each day, still, at all the places you used to sit, and miss you as we stumble along in this process of losing you. Emma yowls each night through the house, looking for you, unsettled at your not being here, and it makes me cry. I try to comfort Emma in her sadness but she still goes to look more for you, and try to reassure her. Emma is trying day by day, to adjust to your being gone and her loss of you. She goes outside to all the places you used to go, to smell you each day. Thank you for gracing our lives for 15 wonderful years, Tigger, every single day with you was a true blessing and a joy. I love you, we love you, we love you. Your "Mother", as they called me at the vet. I know I was so lucky that you chose me to be. Forever, Your Family
Rowdy, remember when the cop came over because you got out of the yard and people were scared of you for being so big? then, you got in a fight with Luke, right in front of the cop. all he did was laugh cuz he knew you were just full of love. the love for us, the love we had for you. you were my best friend. I could cry on you and you knew that i was sad, every time i was, and you would comfort me, I'm crying right now, and now. I don't have you here to cry on, physically, but i know you are in my heart, forever. when you died rowdy, it took away half of my life, but im healing slowly, and this is three years later, i love you boy, i will see you again.
Kittum and me had a special connection. I have had allergies to cats and wasn't looking to adopt one. One day while walking down the street in Pittsburgh, I passed a pet store. Something caught my attention immediately. There was this grey kitten staring at me and the minute she saw me, she became hyper and starting jumping up and down the cage. I went into the store and began petting her. Something told me that this is my child and that I must get her. I showed her to my husband. However, the adoption center was closed and we had to come back the following day. That night neither my husband nor I slept. We woke up the next morning and bought pet supplies and adopted Kat and her sister, Nat. Soon, our house was full of energy. Nat and Kat wrestled all the time and kept us entertained. Both of them loved sleeping in our bed. Kat slept on my pillow and we fondly called her mountain lion. She was the most personable cat you have ever met. She was loving, caring, and loved people. My favorite memory of Kat is when she used to lay on my chest when I woke up in the morning. It was the best Good Morning I ever received in my life. I will miss her forever. Kittum, your family misses you very much. We will always feel a void in our lives. You taught us how to love, care, cherish, and enjoy life. You personified the true meaning of life. We hope you are in a better place right now. Our love will always be with you and we will never ever forget you. Love, Mommy, Daddy, and Nitty

Herbert, I remember the day that I came home from school and found you as a surprise from mom and dad with a little red collar around your neck. You were the most beautiful Cocker Spaniel there ever was. We spent 6 great years together, eating ice cream, playing outside, and most of all me talking to you. You always understood when I was sad and you always made me feel so much better when you would give me the biggest warmest kisses right on my cheeks. You have truly changed my life. I am sorry that we can not be together any longer but I promise that I will come for you. I love you so much. You will always be my best friend Herbie. You are the best dog anyone could ever ask for. I am sorry that we didn't even get to say good-bye I wish that I could change back time and kiss your sweet little nose and hug you once more. You will always be in my heart Sweety. I love you So much Herbert Bartholomew Carnahan!!!!!!!! Love Your Girl, Sheena Marie
Toto was a true member of a very large extended family, a darling terrier that stole all our hearts. He was a special dog that the grandkids never minded walking or looking after when we were too ill to. He was no friend of the UPS man, though, and he would shake the throw rugs when the refrigerator came on when he was a pup. He was especially dear to Earl Krueger. We will all miss him dearly. We will see you again...
Mollie was a true companion. We played ball, hide and seek, chase and walked together. She loved to travel with us so we bought a motor home just for her!! I can't imagine coming home and not having her to greet me. She will always be in my thoughts. As a Christian, I know God has a special place for her to wait for me. Mollie...........we will be there to take our walks together down the streets of gold!
I rescued Dixie from a shelter when she was 4 years old. They told me that I saved her life, but really, she saved mine. Dixie died yesterday at the age of 13 1/2 years. She gave me 9 1/2 years of love, loyalty and friendship. I'll never forget our times together. She made me laugh and smile everyday. We loved to go for rides in the car and for walks on the beach. She loved to meet new doggie friends on the beach and watch them swim in the ocean, even though she didn't like the water. Dixie, I love you and miss you very much, and you will be forever in my heart. I hope your happy and having fun now that you are reunited with Sundance and Highway. I'll love you always, Mommy
Blitz was a beautiful German Shepherd - he was my friend, my protector and I miss him so very much. His favorite past time was chasing golf balls in the field. He was soooo fast. His favorite treat was a pig's ear. Blitz taught so many people how gentle and loving a German Shepherd can be. He loved to give kisses and get "butt rubs". And when he wanted my attention he would stick his now under my arm and push up. So many cups of coffee got spilled that way. The sadness and emptiness in our house is incredible. They do truly leave paw prints on your heart. Until we meet again across the Rainbow Bridge, dear Blitzen, I will hold memories of you close to my heart.
After loosing my first Weimaraner female in 1992, that I raised as a puppy, she and I had a very good relationship together with plenty of space to train and exercise. She died in her sleep at 11.5 years. As the clock ticked to a year later, I decided to get another Weimaraner Puppy in 1993. I got Schatszie, and as a single man, at 42 and never had been married with countless dead-end relationships with women, she was more than a new lease on life for me. But, at the very onset, I noticed a difference in our relationship, as compared to my previous Weimar.....She was just simply crazy about me. My Parents helped in taking care of her, while I was at work. For the next four years, I spent countless hours in training Schatszie in the Field, obedience, etc., and found that she was just simply smarter than any dog that I had ever known....I could talk to her like a human and she would stare at me intensely, as if, "I want to learn your language". When I would leave, come rain or shine, she would stand at front gate, staring down road, anticipating my return, never leaving the spot until called in by my Parents. In 1997, my parents moved, as well as I, and my new place afforded me the needed space and environment to keep Schatszie with me, but, the issue of her standing at front gate until my return from work, persisted. It was gut wrenching, to drive off and listen to her howl, standing there. In 1997, I got tired of my profession, quit, and started a small business in home, which afforded me exclusive time with Schatszie, for which I took her with me every where in car, if weather, etc., permitted. She could not stand to be anywhere, but by my side 24 Hrs. per day. My mother always said that I would never have another dog that loves me like Schatszie does, and she was right. In 2004, Schatszie developed some Thyroid problems, then some ALP Liver Problems, then Chronic Kidney problems. I did every thing possible for her thru the next year, diets, etc., but she finally succumbed to 'End Stage Kidney Failure' on April 6, 2005, whereby I had to end her loving life, and remove my 'Once In A Lifetime Companion' from my life forever. It was, and forever will be, the hardest thing I will ever do in my life, next to burying my Parents. Living alone is 'Hell on Earth' without your 'Best Friend' by your side 24 Hrs. a day. Thank You for letting me share my Story. Earl

We talk about you every single day and always will, and you are so much a part of our lives today and tomorrow and always. We will hold you again someday. Play and rejoice with god.

Tiffy was actually my mother's dog. She was very tiny, dainty and extremely feminine. A lot like my mother. She was a little Yorkshire terrier and all that that breed entails. I grew up with her for the last fourteen years. She was the most treasured gift my mother had from my father. My father was murdered last year and this past year has been enormously difficult for my family. The story I wanted to share was this: Tiffy had perfect little ears that stood straight up. I used to blow very lightly on her ears and she would put her little head down and kind of rub at her ears with her little leg. She would then look up at me and lick my nose until I did it again. No one else did that to her. It was our little game. And I believe she truly enjoyed it. Tiffy died on Sunday, May 19, 2005 at 7:30am. She had just had surgery on Friday to remove some teeth and she was in the middle of kidney failure. She started to improve on Saturday and was allowed to go home with my mother. On Sunday morning Mom was given her some water and Tiffy just collapsed. Mom tried to revive her with CPR but her little heart was just too tired. She died of a heart attack. My mother is devastated beyond words. She was such precious little angel. We have always thought of our pets as family and she was no different. As I said my goodbyes to her at the vet's office Sunday morning, I blew gently on her ears one more time. I pray that she and my father are happy together. If I know Tiffy, she jumped up on his lap and licked his face. Now, neither of them are lonely. We will miss them horribly. I love you dad. I love you Tiffy.
Oh Banter, my heart is broken. It was not enough time. I'll grieve for you till the day I die. Your ashes will be with mine. Oh Ban, life's just not the same without you. Oh Ban, please forgive me.
My dear Buddy, you wandered into my life 6 years ago and you chose us as your family. I loved you from the moment I met you. I have had many cats in my life, but none were as unique as you. My Buddy was diagnosed with diabetes a year ago and while he seemed to do better with the insulin shots, he never regained back the health and weight he used to have. This past week, he stopped eating and drinking. and I cried and cried, kn owing it was time for me to prove my love to him in the biggest way. This has been the hardest decision of my entire life and I am so broken hearted. I feel I have lost a child. my house is so empty without you Buddy. rubbing your nose on mine in the mornings and running to greet me at the door when I came home. Buddy I hope you know how very much I truly did love you and I stayed with you til your last breath, rubbing and kissing you because even though I couldn't stand to see your life pass before my eyes, I did not want you to be alone. I cradled you in my arms like a baby and brought you home where you belong and now I can stand in my window and still look out to where you now lay. I really hope the rainbow bridge is a real thing because you deserve the best heaven has to offer you. thank you Buddy for all your unconditional love and for being you. Your memory will follow me to my own grave.
Pebbles was the best cat you could ever wish for she was loving, kind and considerate and made you laugh all the while and knew when you were sad so she could comfort you. but sadly she died of kidney failure and never made it into double figures.
"Dear Mugsy" "You will forever be in my heart" it has been awhile" but I still miss "My Little buddy like it was yesterday"...Your little paws left footprints in my heart...."Oh how you protected me...and kept me in your sight constantly...never leaving me alone, and during my brain surgery, although you yourself were ailing you waited untill I recovered untill you endured the extra pain of losing you ..." 17 years with me, my little pekingese...you were the smartest, prettiest boy ever...and what a watch dog! "Remember me at Rainbow Bridge...your ma ma will be looking for you...xoxoxo. "Your the bestest little buddy in the world!!! "I love you!!
I remember taking Kee for car rides.. and every time we would get somewhere she knew she would get soo excited and jump all around the car. Everyday when i would come home from school she would be sitting in the window watching for me then she would hurry up and meet me at the door. She would run about 5 laps around the whole house then jump up on my lap and just beg to get pet. Keeya was my best friend and she always will be! She was a great girl and is very missed by many!!!! Thank you Kaylyn
Sage you brought so much joy into my life. I got you when you were only 6 weeks old. You were my boo, my friend. I could talk to you about anything. You would listen and not say a word. Sage I love you. You are missed. You are there with your brother Lucky who died in 1992 a month before I got you. I am sure the two of you are having a ball in heaven. I miss both of you. Love your Mommie
He was my little (poodle) brother I guess, since he was my father & step mothers' baby. But having to take him to be out to sleep was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do, I loved him as if he were one of my babies. He was so devoted and gentle, I think he was sent as an angel and it shouldn't have been time for him to go to Heaven or Rainbow Bridge yet. I think he knew he was very much loved and that letting him go, so that he wouldn't suffer and be in pain was the hardest decision that was made. We Love you Furever Buddy, and I miss you more than anything. Susan Buddy 2/95 - 6/04/2005
I saw you at the flea market, instantly fell in love and you became my baby. With your head held high and your tail straight up, you pranced and skipped like you owned the world. You always made us feel like we were the greatest thing you ever owned. You'd look at us with a sparkle in your eyes, your entire back end a symphony of joy, and a demand that we touch you immediately. You took such good care of your older sister for such a long time, and we were sure you would die of grief when she left us. You surprised us all though...even your sister, Midnight. She is so much older than you but you left us first. With no warning you slipped away in the night. I think you left to get everything ready for when Midnight joins you. I thought I'd know when it was time, and would have time to get ready to deal with your loss...but I guess no one is ever really ready. We'll miss your regal attitude, the sparkle in your eyes, and the love you shared so freely. You were my greatest flea market find...priceless and irreplaceable. Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge...I'll be carrying your favorite ball, and be more then ready to hold you again. My heart is broken. I miss you so.
After 20 years of unconditional love and friendship, my best friend will be greatly missed. We went through a lot together in these 20 years, but he never complained - as long as we were together, side-by-side then all was fine. He got me through some rough patches in my life and never once turned his back on me - for that I will be eternally thankful. Each day he would greet me at the door, talk to me as only he could and then let me know he was happy that I was home by either climbing on my shoulder or figuring out how to sit on me, no matter if I was on the chair, couch or on the toilet. My nights will be lonely without him sleeping on my pillow, draped over my head, purring and lulling me to sleep. And I know that the coming days without Feido will be filled with many tears but the memories of my baby boy will get me through this rough time. I miss my baby... now and forever. See you soon, Feido!!! I love you!

My husband had this Rottweiler since she was a pup. She came into my life in 1998. She was definitely our first baby. We had our daughter in 2001 and our dog did amazingly well with her. Booger was always gentle (even thru all the ear pulling) and right there if something was wrong. We found out she had cancer and within the next three days was unable to move, so we gave her to god to give her peace. We all love and cherish the times we had together and she will always be a part of us. Love Always, Mommy
I first saw Bogie sitting very forlornly in the SPCA. He had been beaten, starved and badly abused and was a nearly bald from wounds. My husband instantly wanted him, so home he came to spend the first day wrapped in a blanket being rocked and held by me all day. Soon, he was able to be taught how to play. He was becoming quite attached to my husband. About 2 months after we got Bogie, my husband was killed and that night Bogie would not even walk with me - he wanted his daddy. The next morning, he realized that he was my little protector and this bundle of fluff who was half Spitz and half Pomeranian and weighed about 28 pounds became my best friend and family. When his time came to leave me, he fought hard. The vet said that he did not want to go and that I had to give him permission. So I did - I held him and rocked him as I had done that very first day, as he slowly went to Heaven to be with his daddy once again. I still miss my Bogie and all the love he gave me. This site and the wonderful people who run it made Bogie's passing a little easier. They cared about him and me and helped find just the right urn, and I would like to thank them again for caring and for having this site to honor my sweet little Bogie on the first anniversary of his passing. I love you Bogie and know you are happy. Mommy
Brownie was the first dog i could actually say i was his owner. He was the cutest dog i have seen in my whole life, he brought a lot of joy and smiles to my husband and my self. He used to sleep under the covers in the middle of the two of us, and Brownie would not have it any other way. He thought he was a lap dog, yet he weighed about 90 pounds. He was sunshine to our lives, but a lot vicious to others. He was the baby i never had. He used to just lick and lick our faces, I don't know if it was love or the salt on our faces. I would rather believe it was love. Brownie loved riding in the car, we took him every where we went. he was a good friend, companion, and low and behold son.
She wasn't just my best friend, she was my child... my heart and my soul.
There wasn't a day that would go by that I wouldn't want to be home with you and not at work. There wasn't a second that would go by that I could take my eyes off of you. You were the most beautiful Rottweiler I have ever seen and the most loving. Because of you I knew what love was! Every day that goes by that I am not with you I know it is one day closer till I can hold you again! Momma loves you baby!

Date: 21 Aug 2005
Comments:
Fuji was my one and only cat. I grew up with dogs and never thought I'd like a cat but my children wanted a pet and I knew if we got a dog it would become my responsibility. One of my co-workers brought a 3 week old ball of orange fur to work one day and asked if anyone wanted a cat. I couldn't resist him.
We raised him as a dog and he even used to dig bones out of the garbage and hide them. He was the best cat ever. We called him the "model cat" because he never scratched the furniture or destroyed anything in the house, he was just the best. Unfortunately we had to move recently and although we were trying to make the move as stress-free for Fuji as possible , he ended up having to stay overnight at the vet. I took in one cat, and brought home another. He just never recovered and 4 days later he passed away in his sleep. On the day before he died, he ate his favorite meal; chicken. He was one chicken-lovin' cat. He was also with everyone who loved. All my children, my mother, my husband and I. We all got he chance to hold him and comfort him. I will be forever grateful for that. I loved him more than I will ever be able to express and I will never forget him.

Hunter was a male Doberman, with the most gentle, tender heart that a companion could ever wish for. He was forever patient, loyal, and full of love. He was a gentle giant, never ever raising a lip at anyone. People were only in danger of getting licked or knocked over out of playfulness. Hunter used to love to play hide and seek with me. He would patiently wait at one side of the house, until I went and hid. I would then knock on the wall and he would come running to look for me. He would always find me, and he loved to play this game for hours. I have too many fond memories of my pal to list. Hunter was healthy and energetic up until three hours before I had to put him to sleep and send him to heaven. Hunter unexpectedly suffered from a twisted stomach that was uncorrectable. He peacefully passed to the other side, laying on my lap, with me telling him what a good boy he was and how much I loved him. I will never forget him, as he has left a huge hole in my heart. I will see you again someday, pal.

Caicos had such a short time with us it is hard to understand. He died at 5 months from acute liver failure. We are not sure why he died but it was his time to leave this Earth. His time here was wonderful. He was showered with every toy made and lots of fun treats.
Caicos was a brilliant dog.. he learned sit, speak, stay and come all in one night! He constantly protected and dutifully followed his mom EVERYWHERE.
There will never be a dog like Caicos. It is important for us to celebrate his short time with us and not be sad over his passing.
Remember Caicos.

The Marlowe flop, he would flop down head first and sing a song for us. He was so young, only 2. I am heart broken over this. He would always give me kisses and wanted them all the time. He was my friend.
I wrote him a letter, I hope he knows how much he was loved and still is. I hope he is safe. He died so suddenly, no warning, happy healthy cat one minute then he lay dying on the floor. we rushed to to the emergency animal hospital were they told us he had a blood clot in his legs that went to his brain.
I can't believe this happened to Mr.. Marlowe man, my little love bug. i will miss him and mourn him, and pray that he can still feel the love that me and his papa feel for him.
Name of Pet: STINKY
Important Dates: 9/13/2005
Date: 14 Sep 2005
Comments:
It was a cold November night when you made me stop the car and see if you were alright. I picked you up and gave me the biggest kitty hug your little body could give. Arms around my neck and your head buried in my hair. I still had to go to my parents and I told you if you stayed at my car you could come home with me. You stayed ,so you came home. You were so small I thought you were an abandoned Halloween kitten. We took you to the vets and found out you were at least seven years, had a mouth full of rotten teeth and polyps in your ear. You were indeed a very smelly disgusting cat. But we fixed you up and you started smelling better but the name was yours to keep. I will remember this and I will remember how you would crawl under the covers lay in my arm head on my shoulder and give me kitty kisses on the chin. How you would crawl under the blanket facing me, lay your head on my pillow in the mourning causing me to sleep in a few to many mornings. You were the only one who would hear me come from work and greet me at the door. I will remember our conversations and how you always wanted to be around me. On the desk when ever I was there making sure that what ever I did there was difficult by laying in the computer mouse, lay across what ever I read, and always pushing the bills out of your way. How when it came to feeding time you did not get full unless I fed you I guess when anybody else fed you it did not count. Or how you would sit on my lap sniffing at my bowl of ice cream waiting for the spoonful of melted stuff. I will miss you laying in the sun. It always made you very mushy. Had stop and love the Stink when she was in the sun. I remember laying there with you worrying about how long I would get to enjoy these moments with you and thinking she's going to live at least a few more years. I'll worry then. I should of known something was up when you started acting like a kitten (running and skidding around the house with your tail up) Then suddenly you had lost your floppy belly fat and looked dull. We went to vets several times to make you better nothing worked. Then they found the tumor in your throat and lungs. They said a few months. That was a month ago. You had spent a day with trouble breathing but still slept in bed with me and gave a kiss. I knew yesterday mourning that I could not save you any more. I could not stand to see my beloved little Stink suffer. So we went to the Vets. Stinky I am so so sorry I could not save you. If love could have saved you.....
Stinky Oh my little Stinky I miss you. Who's going to give me the
love that you did?
But I know that you are not suffering and you have your teeth back. I
wait for the time when we will be home together again. Love and hugs for
you my Stink.

When I would come home from work she would be there waiting with a kiss and lots of love. She was only 3½ years old. I took her in to the vet for a check up and found that she had kidney disease. She came home with me for a week and just got worse, we both knew it was time. I just want her to know that her mommy loves and misses her very much.

Felix came into my life after I lost my other kitten that was the sister to Feido. I knew Feido needed a playmate and when I saw Felix in the cage, I knew I had to have her. Those green eyes of hers just jumped out at me... I took her home and it took close to 3 years before she trusted me enough to hold her and as time went on, the trust formed and the bond solidified between us. As she got older, things started going wrong - first it losing all her teeth, then it was her hearing and then the worst thing of all - she awoke one morning to paralysis in her hind legs. It was touch and go with her for a few weeks, but she pulled through and proved to me just how much she wanted to live. She learned how to walk again but 6 months after this, we were hit with another blow - this time we had to put down Feido, her companion for close to 20 years. After that, she just started to slowly slip away. Depression consumed her and her will to live went away. So, after much soul searching, I knew it was time for her to be with Feido and to give her peace. I loved her with all my heart and will love her until the day I die. One day I know I'll see her again, on the Rainbow Bridge. I love you baby, thank you for all the years of wonderful memories!!

Mason was my dear sweet, loyal, devoted 6 year old Doberman that passed away on October 16th 2005 at 4am from a heart attack due to DCM, a heart disease that is sadly common in Dobermans and Boxers. Mason died at home in my arms which is the way we both wanted it, I was there for him to comfort him when it was time for him to leave his physical body and join all the other animals that had passed on and is now waiting to meet their loved ones one day at Rainbow Bridge to go on and be together with their loved ones forever. Mason was my best friend, he loved people and other animals, he craved attention from everyone, he was so very loveable, everyone who met Mason loved him. Mason loved attention, he was always nudging his nose on my arm wanting for me to scratch him, and I did without hesitation, yes he was spoiled, and he deserved it, for all the unconditional love that he showed me. Mason was a show dog in his younger years and loved every minute performing in the ring, he won many ribbons, which made me so very proud of him. I loved giving him kisses on his kissy spots (the brown spots on either side of his face) taking him on his walks, chasing squirrels, and what ever else caught his attention. Mason you will always be forever in my heart.
I love you Mason, Mommy.

Max loved laying with the squeaky ball, going for walks, belly rubbies, playing chase with Zoe and Kyle, and visiting Grandma and Grandpa.
He "hated" being cuddled by momma and daddy, but we know he secretly loved it. Bubby kisses were rare and were always special gifts when you got them.
You are deeply missed, but we are truly blessed with your memories. You had a deep and everlasting impact upon our lives and hearts. You will be loved and remembered forever.

I feel robbed! Ares was my world and my life. He was only 6 years old. He was a beautiful German Shepherd and at 130 pounds he was a gentle giant with such a gentle soul. He was my protector. He was my smile. I picked him out from a litter of 10. His name than was Chewy. I named him after Ares "The God of War". He passed away knowing he was loved. They say it was his heart. I will always wonder if I could have done more had I reacted faster. I sit here a day after your death, and have no clue what to do next. I stare at your picture and remember how you loved to have your nose and ears scratched. How we shared popcorn every night. Your little buddy Scrappy is waiting for you to come home. He doesn't understand where you have gone. There have been no more squirrel hunts. He even howled at the moon last night for you. You are so very much missed and my heart is breaking each moment without you. I love you more than you could know but know that Bear has you in his arms now. I love you Ares. Thank you for being the best companion one could ask for.

You were the sweetest little bunny in the world, all black and very small. You were more liked a puppy than a bunny because you followed us everywhere, you loved everyone and loved having cuddles and rubbing noses. You would run around the garden at breakneck speed, but as soon as you saw us you would hop to us as fast as your little legs would carry you.
You became ill suddenly, and were in hospital for a time and we all thought you were getting better, but it wasn't to be and you went to Rainbow bridge on 22nd July,2005. It broke my heart and I love and miss you more than I can say. You will stay in my heart forever, Wait for me at the Bridge Shadow.
Love You Always Mummyxxxxxxx

Dusty was my wonderful 10 year old male Pomeranian who I was fortunate to have come into my life in July 1995. These last 10 years have been wonderful in that he was my companion, and my best friend. These last 8 months since his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and collapsing trachea has been the summer of my discontent. It was a time of rollercoaster rides, good days and bad, and last night at 6:30 pm, I made the decision for him to go to rainbow bridge. It was hard, probably the hardest thing I have ever done. I am feeling such pain and grief right now and hope that time will allow me to re-focus on all the wonderful memories he gave me. Thank you for allowing me to share Dusty with all of you. He was my baby, and I will forever have a hole in my heart because of his passing. Because of what the outcome may have been (complete respiratory failure) I made this decision so he would not suffer at the end. When I came back from the vet's last night, I felt a sense of calm and a feeling of relief in knowing he is no longer in any discomfort. That's the one gift I was able to give him, besides all of my love which I gave him every single day.

I got my fat girl for Christmas. She was "my pet." She was so skinny and small that her tale wrapped around her and she had these huge ears that she would flip back. She weighed 6 lbs! This past Jan I took her for a checkup and shots in preparation for a new puppy. She was a whopping 23 lbs! In May she was diagnosed with Feline Diabetes. After adjusting her insulin numerous times to try to help her, her body started giving out. She could hardly walk three steps but was still excited to get ice in her water bowl. She loved her ham, turkey, tuna, anything that wasn't nailed down. I love you my fat. You can finally steal Dad's and Grandpa's lox again. I miss you.

My favorite thing was when I walked through the door after work and he was right there to greet me and cheer me up. Looking at you with those big brown eyes just waiting to be loved and give love. He wasn't even 1 yr old its just not fair that he's gone.

My beloved Pekingese, Candy, it has been two long weeks now since I last held you in my arms. The pain is still so fresh and I wonder if it will ever subside. I will never forget all of the hugs and kisses that you so graciously provided me when I was feeling down. You always lifted my spirits in such a sweet and loving way. I cannot tell you enough how greatly you will be missed, not only by me, but also by Daddy, Crystal, and Molly. Your love was unconditional. Thank you so much Candy for being the best friend that anyone could ever hope for. Now, run and play with your friends in the beautiful meadows on the other side of Rainbow Bridge. I am so happy that you are in no more pain!! I Love You My Angel and will see you again some day!!!
Love and Kisses,
Mama

Kandy you came into my life when you were 4 weeks old, never expected something so sweet and tiny would put paw prints on my heart for 15 yrs. The bond between us even after your death will never be broken. I stand over your grave every day and cry tears like rain. At night I'm still awaken by your "meows". I miss our morning breakfast, our afternoon bird watching, and our evenings where we sat and watched TV or listened to music. My time now is alone in what I call " The Silent Grief". Someday we will be together sitting in fields of tall grass and wild flowers growing all around us and the warmth of the sun will feel warm upon us and the sound of song birds will fill the air. There Kandy You and Me will feel no more sorrow or pain, our tears will be wiped away for we have been saved. Until that day, Rest in peace my sweet little angel cat.
