Mooka by Judy,Jared,Jonathan & Jade

Mooka was our guardian and our friend. He would lie at the gate to our play area and “greet” any strangers that came up. He was our friend and he loved us with all his big heart. We are grown up now and he has gone on but he will never be forgotten.

We love and miss you Mook.

Rugratt Phillips by Brande

Rugratt was an angel sent to me from heaven. Just after Kelly passed away he came into my life. He helped me heal. I remember one time while he was still only approximately 6 weeks old that I was crying over Kelly’s death. He walked up my chest up to my face and literally wiped my tears away with his paws. From then on every time I seemed down or sad to him he would curl into my lap or lick my face or arms.
He was a very caring cat.

Over the years he became a best friend. He was always waiting by the door for me when I got home from work. He always followed me from room to room including the bathroom. So I guess you could say he shared every experience with me! We knew each other so well that I could talk to him and him to me {not in words of course}.

Rugratt passed away on 7-8-02. I believe that he is either up in heaven now with Grandpa and Kelly or that he has been sent down by God
to be someone else’s angel.

Rugratt you will
always be my “Bubba.”
See you when I get to heaven.

Love

Your Momma

You wanted no one but me and I couldn’t get enough of you. I miss you so much! You were Mamma’s Precious baby girl and now you’re my Precious Angel. Wait for me baby girl
until we meet at Rainbow’s Bridge.

Schultz by Janet

My Dear Sweet Schultz

Never in my life did I expect to love any animal as much as I love you. You were always there for me for 13 years. Your absence in my life is at times unbearable. People tell me “He was just a dog”. I feel bad for them. They just do not have it in their heart to open up to a friend the way I did. I want to feel that joy again. I want to hear you come down the stairs. I want you to bark and wake the baby up. I want you to be able to jump on my bed at night and sleep near me. I want you to lick my tears away and comfort me. I would take anything from you right now but it will not be again.
You can not be replaced ever.

I feel an overwhelming amount of guilt for making the final decision to put you to sleep. I know you are not suffering any longer. I know you are able to jump see and hear. I know alot now but I made the decision to end your life. At times I second guess myself and wonder if you should have had a longer life but I know how much you suffered. My rational side knows it was the right thing to do but my broken heart does not. I think of you when you were younger and healthy but I can not compare your last year
to the younger you.

I think of all the times you just wanted someone to rub you walk you love you. I am so sorry for the times where I passed up the chance to do any of those things. How I wish now I could see you touch you hear you. Just one more chance. You were always by my side. Never were you mad at me. Never did you hold a grudge. So I was by your side when your life on Earth ended. I was devastated. I wanted to be with you
I owed you that much.

The kids miss you. Dylen understands the most. Jacob grieves for you in his own way. Emilee is just a baby who loved to watch you walk by her so she could try to grab you. Josalyn really misses you. We visit your grave and she always talks to you. It is so very hard for a 3 year old to understand why her dog is gone. She loved you so much. We all did and still do. She misses sleeping with you on the floor under her favorite blanket. In your older age you let her love on you more than ever. I think you enjoyed her love as much as she enjoyed yours. Mike misses you too very much. When he and I married he took you on as his dog. You loved him so much. It was obvious he was your favorite. That’s alright with me I understood. Thank you for all the wonderful memories we have of our life together with you.

So know my sweet boy
We love you and miss you.
We will meet again.
Forgive me my sweet Schultz.

We miss you so much. Saying good-bye to you was the hardest thing we ever had to do. We know that you are no longer in pain and waiting for us. We had to be un-selfish and do the right thing for you….

You me daddy

You will always be my one and
only “big guy”.

Mama Kitty by Jennifer

Dear Mama Kitty

I cherish all the wonderful moments we had a chance to spend together. You have added so much goodness to my life. You were always there for me and always made me feel better if I had a bad day. Your love was unconditional as mine always was for you. I loved rocking you to sleep and scratching your tummy. Your purrs were music to my ears. You were always so kind-natured and cuddly and sweet.

I’m so sorry you had to get so sick. I tried so hard to make you well but I just couldn’t. I know you are with God now. I’m so happy you are no longer in any pain and can run and play like you used to. I miss you very very much. I will always love you and you will live forever in my heart. I know I will see you again but until then I will always think of you my sweet little baby Mama Kitty.

Love

Jenny (your mom)

 

Toonces aka Kitty by Maureen

Kitty

We were always being told what a beautiful cat you were. Your face was small and fit perfectly in the palm of my hand. You would push your face in my hand in let me rub the top of our head until I got tired. You never got tired of it though. Your eyes were always watching everything. When we talked to you they were serious as if to say I understand what you are saying and yes I agree. You were a wonderful sounding board. You had black,grey and white in your coat. The colors blendedd as if they were one. You could not see where one started and one ended.

Daddy misses your evenings together. He hates to sit my the end table. The memories of you looking up at him and gently poking him until he would feed you treats and of you pushing you head under his hand for him to pet you. He misses your patience with him for never getting upset(maybe a little) when he would run you over in his wheelchair or kick you in bed by accident. Going to bed without you waiting for your little talk every night is hard for him.

I miss our morning routine. Opening the curtains heating water snuggling you in my arms and giving you your breakfast. We would walk around the yard and you would help me with the watering. Working in the flower bed is now a time when I cry wanting you to still me here with me. I know you are looking down on us and sometimes I see a shadow or hear a sound and I hope that it is you telling me you are happy and safe. I pray it is you telling me you are no longer in pain and it was time for you to go. Kitty Rest easy my baby Mommy misses you and loves you.

Gigi by The Ingrati Family

You were an unwanted gift
from a friend at first
Barking loudly and
annoying the neighbours.
So small and cuddly
you were the cutest pup.
We considered giving you up –
Until you won our hearts!

You had numerous companions
in your short life –
A couple of cats a few birds.
All of them passed away
before you my friend.
But it was you who
survived daily life
And bloomed into the
magnifici=ent corgi you had become.

You melted my heart every time
I came home from work.
Jumping around with
your tail wagging was
a joy to behold.
It was a pleasure taking you
for long walks –
Whether it was night or day
it didn’t matter…
Happiness was the order
of the day.

Shock and horror were
the running through our veins
When we knew we’d
never see you again.
We made our vow never
to replace you Gigi
and we never will.

You were our one and only dog
Giving unconditional love
under any circumstances.
Your happy memories will live forever –
Farewell good friend
You were the best.
We’ll miss you dearly.

Love

The Ingrati Family

 

Whitney by Ernie & Stephanie

A tribute to “Whitney Flores”

When Ernie brought you home 11 years ago we were only married for a couple of years and had no children. You were our first born child.
Daddy’s little girl!!!!

As we look back and remember all the special times I know now that God sent you to do a special work in us. For me your mom you helped me grow into the woman I am today. I am a better caregiver because of what we have been through together. You had so few healthy years. After we found out about your tumor in 1996 and other health problems it seemed that we were going to lose you then. But God heard my prayers and allowed you to stay until Friday July 19th 2002. He took you so suddenly and without warning.

I am thankful that you did not appear to suffer and that it was swift. Although your vet was not sure about what caused your death I know that God said it was time. He had a plan for you and it was done. You were tired and the medicines had taken a toll on your little body. You have left and so many places here at home painfully remind us of your death. But we know you are in a better place and that God will reunite us someday. Until then I say good night our sweet daughter and don’t eat so many little treats be a good girl for daddy and mamma.

We love you forever!
Love

Dad Mom Yukon & Bear!

 

Tarence by Suzanne

It has been 3 long years and yet I still pause and think of you and it brings tears to my eyes for you were everything to me. Saying good-bye to you was one of the hardest moments in my life. I wanted to keep you forever…I still remember your meow and the way you would stretch out with me when I would lay down. Your back would be pressed up against my chest so tight it was as if we were one…
I loved you then
and I still love you today….
I miss you so much…

good-bye Tarence.

Shadow by Donna

My Dearest Shadow It has been three weeks since we had to put you to sleep. These have been three dark and sad weeks. You gave us 20 years of unconditional love. I hope you are in pet heaven and
know how much we loved you.

You were such a unique personality. A very feminine little lady up to the very end. When you could hardly walk you still tried to find your litter box so you could be dainty and clean. We remember your special “meows” that told us if you were hungry or wanted in a special drawer or just wanted to snuggle and love. You had your special glass on the desk upstairs and that is where you would drink your bottled water. When you could not get on the desk anymore you would meow until we picked you up. And how you loved to sit at the table beside us and eat “white meat” chicken. Everytime I eat chicken I find myself wanting
to save some for you.

Most of all you were so soft and fluffy and even when I had to poke you with needles to give you fluids and antibiotics for your kidney disease you understood and accepted it all with the grace of the great lady that you were. David and I are aching each day because we can’t hold you. We lovingly stroke the box with your ashes each day (and by the way we decided to put the box in the favorite drawer that you liked to sleep in!!) Shadow a part of you will be with us always and you enriched our lives with so much love and joy.

Muffin by Rebecca

Ok first off muffin was my dog and I was only in third grade when she died and I didn’t get to say goodbye to her. Umm it is so hard to stop thinking about her I just miss her. I know that she is watching over me and is protecting me. I just want her to know that one day I will be up there playing catch now that she can run jump and see.

Muffin had cancer a tumor and was going blind and I wanted to play with her ever day but I couldn’t cause she was hurting. My mom and dad wanted to put her to sleep and not make her suffer any more but I said no not yet. Then one day when I was at school my mom came to pick me up from school and was crying and I asked what was wrong and she said wait till we get home and I said ok. Then when I got home my dad was crying and my mom stared to cry again and I said what is going on and I was looking for Muffin and that’s when my mom told me to sit down and then they told me that Muffin had passed away. and I started to scream and say no but it was her time to go. Now I don’t have her to come and sleep with me at night or come sit on my lap when I’m sad and now I don’t have a best friend to talk to when I’m down.

I’m 13 now and have two new dogs and they understand that I’m upset and come and sit on my lap like Muffin did.

Suede by Shannon

I had been waiting so long and the time had finally come. On October 18 1994 I got the call from the breeder I worked for. Sting one of my girls was ready to give birth. I had known from the beginning that one of her pups would be mine and rushed over immediately to be there for the deliveries. Somewhere in the middle of 11 pups there came one tiny little boy. When I held him his tiny little nose nudged my hand and I knew that we would never be separated. The runt of the litter he wasn’t strong enough to eat and for a few weeks I fed him with first a syringe and then a bottle. After what seemed the longest 10 weeks of my life he was finally ready to come home.

My parents immediately fell in love with him as well and he became as much a member of the family as the rest of us. A few years later I met a wonderful man and married. After much debate it was decided that Suede would stay with my parents in the home he had grown up in and with my father who was retired and was his best friend.

He had several happy years with them and just last year was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. He fought hard and remained strong but finally the time came for us to make the hardest decision of our lives.

On July 18th we made the arrangements with his vet to have him put to rest and end his suffering. One last time in his life he proved to us that he was far superior to us and much more intelligent than we had ever given him credit for. In the early morning of July 19th he passed quietly and peacefully in his sleep taking the decision out of our hands and going on his own terms in his own bed.

This was the most extraordinary creature I have ever had the honor of knowing and there will never be another like him. Suede I know that you are running and playing with friends now on the other side of that bridge and I look forward to the day when I will come to that bridge and see you running to me with the puppy spirit that you always had.

Mommy loves and misses you
Sugar Bear and you will always
and forever be in my heart and
by my side.

Winston Wiwi Spencer by Martha

We lost our “Wiwi” just a few days ago. We mourn his absence in our pack but we know that up above at the Rainbow Bridge he has joined Whiskey and Lance. They will be there when our time comes.

Close your beautiful eyes my little one. Dream of our happy times and the kisses we shared. We shall see you again and we’ll always be together.

Your loving Mom and
Poodle siblings.
