Dookie or Duke by Robin {Mommy}

DOOKIE

A PIECE OF MY LIFE AND A CHUNK OF MY HEART! You knew how much you were loved and you loved us all back with forgiveness and unconditionally. I’ll never forget you baby and no one could ever take your place–they couldn’t live up to your charm intelligence appetite (smile) or your looks. You’ll always be our “weasel boy” (and “fat boy”) and I keep you near–going on “bye-byes” and at the taco shop and clinic.

So many people knew admired and loved you…we get words and cards of sympathy daily. There’s a new puppy here now and “Booger” is cute BUT HE ISN’T YOU1! He’ll help fill the void you left but my heart and memories belong to “DUKE”. You need to know how bad I punish myself for your death…I blamed God and ripped up all my pictures of Christ etc…

I know that it was not HIS fault nor all mine but I feel if I hadn’t gone out without putting you on a leash or not taking you out at all that you’d be here with me instead of in Heaven (I do know you’re in “Dog Paradise” and running with others eating all the “goodies” you wanted and going “bye-bye” often as well as knowing just how much you were loved. I never liked spanking you or denying food or yelling at you it was hard and I hated your running away (BUT we cracked up at your burying under the covers.

I LOVE YOU PRECIOUS ONE–
YOU LIVE ON IN MY HEART & MIND!
BIG BAD DOBERMAN PINCHER

Petrie by Victoria

To our best friend
our loving pet

Your life was too short. Cancer took you from us. We cry every second for you and we miss you so badly. Thank you for being the best friend a family could have. Walk slowly down that path for some day we will meet
you at the gate of heaven.

Love you Petrie.

Georgie George Vickie
and all

 

Chloe by Joan

My sweetest and best little friend passed away on the 18th of July 2002 peacefully and in her sleep knowing that her mom was just a teardrop away. Chloe was gentle loving and loyal right to the end. When I brought Chloe into my life little did I know that within 2 years I would become disabled and homebound; I didn’t know how very close a human could become with a pet because I’d never had one before.

Chloe became someone I could talk to about the pain about the isolation and loneliness… about everything. We shared a wonderful time together and I will never forget her and what she brought to my life. I love you Little One and I will join you one day to romp and play on the other side.

God bless you my sweet girl.

Angel by Lesley

My Lil Angel

You were the sweetest thing. I had plans on keeping 1 girl from your litter mates but the day you open your lil eyes it was love. Your eyes held so much love and expression I thought to myself ok what’s 1 more. So it was you and your sister I was going to keep. You were 3 wks old that Sunday morning I found you gone to rainbow bridge.

I not sure why you left us so sudden; you were a very healthy happy lil girl full of life. As you look down upon us you can see yes your brother is here as well. We all miss you dearly my lil angel.
I’ll never forget and
always love you
My special Angel.

Jazzy by Heather & Danny

As are most pets Jazzy was more than a lovable dog to us. She was our first child. We had only a short 2 years with her which even in dog years wasn’t enough. There isn’t a day that goes by that don’t remember her. Always and forever she’ll live on in our hearts.

We love you Jazzy and
miss you very much

Kimmie by Holle

It has been so many years and I still ache for you. You saved me. When the big people only wanted to hurt me you were there. Kimmie you were always there. Nothing is the same without you. I’m sorry that you didn’t really get the care you needed but you got all the love a little girl could give. Things are different now. I’m all grown-up and I have a nice place and a nice family. I miss you so much. In so many ways
you were everything to me.

I pray there is a place for pets in heaven and that you have found comfort and peace. I pray that you knew how much I loved you and how much I still do. No one understands what it is like to lose the only bit of love and light in your life. For so many years they hurt us I only dreamed of getting us both out of there and safe but as soon as I found someone to love as much as I loved you you had to go on.

Thank you for taking care of me for protecting me and loving me. I guess nothing can take away my pain in missing you but I do believe you are finally getting the care and love you deserve. I cannot wait to see you again but I trust God to care for you and love you.

May God bless and
keep us all until
we are finally reunited
with Him.

Ace Anderson by Brad & Kay

Ace

You are Always on our minds. We miss you and your funny little habits. Bunny bunny is here with us. The full moon still shines over the yard to light the way and make going out at night easier. Remember the first day we brought you home? We always laugh about that. Now our bed has a big empty spot since you are gone.

Our walks are a lot less fun everything we do is alot less fun without you. Small things silly things everything reminds us of you. Even tho you lost your hearing early on you never had trouble communicating your wishes or needs. Our only solace is in knowing you’re in good hands.

I love you Rex!!!

Justin by Linda

Marks-Tey Just A Moment” ” Justin” was never just another dog. He was my third Doberman and was the most Special of All. I drove 9 hours to Asheville North Carolina to pick him up. He rode in my arms all the way back to Maryland. He was here for me the whole time I suffered with Cancer. Was here for me each day after I returned from radiation. Was here for me ” When Ever ” I needed him which was always!!

I will love another Doberman but none will replace Justin. He died in my arms. I tried CPR. I tried EVERYTHING to save him that awful day. But God took him from me. I had 8 wonderful years with him. I will always have his memories. I will miss him the rest of my life.

” Mommy Loves You JUSTIN ”

~ Soon I will be
there with you ~

Hugs and Kisses MY LOVE

Sly by Stephanie

My little bug Sly

You were the best kitty a person could wish for. You came into my life 8 years ago and we have been best friends ever since. I don’t even know how to express how much I miss you. The house is so empty with out you.

I miss cuddling in front of the TV with you I miss you licking my nose after a shower. I miss you “helping” in the kitchen. I miss wrestling with you and playing with your ball. I miss so much and I will never ever stop loving you and missing you.

Bye-bye little one. Be good.
Lots of love forever

Mom

Katie Scarlett O’Hara by Beth

Scarlett

The day we picked you up at the breeders your mother brothers and sisters ran one way and you ran straight to us. It was like “Okay I’m ready to go home now.” You were a Mothers Day present for Mama. She always said if she could have any dog she wanted it would be a Bassett Hound. She had to medically retire and you were here delight. She said “No matter how bad I feel I can look at Scarlett and she makes me smile.” Mama passed away 3 years later and Daddy seven months after Mama.

You were my inheritance. You gave me 9 more wonderful years before old age started catching up. I know you are with Mama and Daddy now and they are happy to have you. I will see all three of you again someday.

Keep on kissing them for me
till I get there.
I love you and your ungodly long
sweet velvety ears and remember
“I yuv does paws!”

Go For Wand by Liz

It’s hard to believe it’s been 12 years (nearly) since Go For Wand died in the 1990 Breeder’s Cup. Today the race named in her honor was run.

That prompted me to write today.

Wanda was one of the best ever. She had heart drive and determination. She never ever quit. She’s gone today because she wouldn’t quit and let Bayakoa past her. Her leg broke 12 strides before she tumbled to the ground that day at Belmont Park. A lesser horse would have stopped. A lesser horse would probably still be alive today. But Wanda wasn’t
a lesser horse.

She was beautiful talented brave. I loved her. I didn’t own her but I admired her greatly. To me she was the epitome of what a racehorse is supposed to be. Many think that Ruffian was the best filly of all time but I think that Wanda rivals her. They were very different types of fillies in many ways but they both shared the downright determination
that marks a champion.

I hope that Wanda is running free in fields today. I would love to see her someday. I can imagine that she challenges those around her and that she does all she can to win. She was one in a million here on earth and I know that she is one in a million wherever she is today.

Harley by Jim

Harley D!

God you were a great Tomcat & a wonderful pet all at once! Everyday for 13 years you waited for me in the kitchen window of my apartment patient & solid when I needed an unshakeable friend. Then you adapted so easily to your new home & fellow cat Andy for the next 4 years. And when you passed even Peggy who gave you to me as a Christmas gift in December 1978 sent a nice card mourning you.

Love you guy &
I hope you live on
somewhere wonderful.

Your buddy

Maggie by Tiffany

Eleven years ago Maggie found her way into my grandfathers heart. No one knows where she came from she just showed up on the block & from that day forward never left his side. Everyone agrees she’s the best thing that ever happened to him. I lived with my grandparents until their deaths just over a year ago. Then Maggie became my guardian. She & I both thought the other would die of heartbreak.

She just couldn’t let that happen to us so she watched over me and held on as long as her body would let her. I am so grateful she showed up so many years ago & I’m incredibly thankful she stayed to get me thru this past year without them. In return I refused to let her suffer & today sent her off to catch up with my grandfather. I will miss her deeply but she’s Pappys dog and by his side is where she belongs.
