It seems like just yesterday that you came into our lives. A little ball of fur. How the time has gone by too quickly. We know you were in pain at the end. You had too many things at once. We knew that day would come but you can never prepare yourself.

You hope there is always one more thing we can try. In the end we may have saved you more pain and suffering and you were too wonderful a dog to let that happen.

One day we will be with you again. You will be in our thoughts and our hearts everyday for the rest of our lives. God bless you Sammy and
keep you safe always.

Love

Mommy Billy & Lisa

Pinkie was our very special girl. We had her for eleven lovely years which seem like five minutes now that she is gone. CRF took her away from us too soon but we know she had a happy life with us and we were
with her until the end.
Our house seems very empty now. There are lots of spaces that belonged just to her and we will never fill them. She had a room of her own and the other day there was a lovely pool of light shining in there.

We’d like to think that was Pinkie’s way of saying “don’t worry,I’m ok now and I’ll never leave you”. She will never leave us because she will always have a very special place in our hearts. It was an honour and a privilege to have her in our life and we will never forget her.

Paul and Ian

Hammy loved life. He loved hunting climbing fences running around and generally making mischief! Full of energy he could not be contained indoors and so roamed free at his leisure whenever he demanded “out.” With his half-tail and vocal manner he was so unique. He wasn’t a lap cat but he loved to be picked up and carried around! A true free spirit he is now forever free of the pain the gripped
him his last days.

We love you our old friend.

Woody and Leslie

You had so many health issues from day 1 and we tried our best for 7 1/2 years. Daddy misses you carrying around his hat and I miss your tail constantly hitting the floor. Even the great people at Dr. Dasaro’s miss you. Coty and Chardy miss the sounds of your “baby” toy.

Till we meet again and share
vanilla ice creamy together.
We will always love you
“Ashes”.

Joan

Dearest Sascha

Missing you is very painful.
The pain takes all the
place in my heart.
But when the pain dies
you will live for ever in my heart.

Love you Sasch!

from Kathy and Igor.

Bun we will miss you very much. We will miss you chasing Nona all around. We will miss your big floppy ears and your wiggling tail. We will miss you with bear and your cuddling. We will always remember you nipping our toes if our feet happened to be in the way. There are so many other memories about you
that each one of us has.

You will always be loved and remember. Now you join your sister apricot and we know that she will be right by your side forever.

Love

Mom Dad Tara and Nona

MOMMY

To the Vogel Family;

Words cannot describe how sorry we are about losing Toby. He was such an exceptional dog and it was so tragic to have to lose him so young. We hope that you will only have wonderful happy memories of him and remember him for all of his beauty and style being Abby’s best friend and your wonderful dog a member of your family.

We hope one day you will be able to give your love to another dog not to replace Toby but to share the love he shared with you.

You are in our
thoughts and prayers
Sincerely

Mindy Carrie Diane
and Dr. Patrice

She brought a lot of happiness
to the people that met her.
She came from a box and
was a gift to a special girl.
She brought a family
closer together.
She was a baby that made
another baby happy.
She now lives on a beach and
we will always remember her.
I knew from the beginning
that she was something special.
I’m glad for her because
she is now in rabbit heaven and
only lived life feeling
loved cared for.

Kevin

A sweet boy who will be missed. The kind of cat who just isn’t the typical cat. He came when called ate dog food snuck into dinner on the stove meowed and purred when mad.

He purred at the vets.
He was a good boy.

Marianne

Maggie was the best Christmas present I have ever received. My husband brought her to me on December 17 1988 and the love between us was instant. She was my baby and my shadow. She gave birth to six beautiful puppies on October 11 1991 and we kept two of them Porky and Molly.

Porky still lives with us and Molly lives with my daughter. Maggie could be a little stinker at times especially if she got loose outside. She would run like crazy and loved to chase birds. Her favorite place was always with me and she always sat with me on the couch to watch tv. She was a chow hound but she never got fat like so many cockers do. She had a classic face and was so beautiful. She became sick suddenly and when she refused food I knew something was seriously wrong. We tried so hard to save her but had to let her go.

Thanks to our wonderful Vet she died at home in my arms with our family around her. My heart is breaking and I cry for her every day. I miss her so much. She is buried in our flower garden with a stone Cocker Spaniel as her headstone. I will love her forever and will never forget her.

Daisy II

My dear sweet Daisy II
I never met your predecessor
her name was Daisy too
But you shared my life for 7 years
But now your life is through.

I look back and
happy things I see
Like the first time
I came thru that door and
had you bark at me.
You were not being mean
that I came to see
It was just your sweet way
of greeting a stranger like me.

Your mom and I had just met
and friends we soon became
And I quickly learned you
like to play a really
strange ball game.

WeÆd toss the ball and
you would chase and
we would start to laugh
Because you ran the ball down
and then smelled along its path.

Watching you in the pool
was quite a special treat
Cause Dachshunds swimming
after balls is not a common feat.

You loved that pool and
setting in “your” chair
We couldnÆt get you out so
that we could float in there.

The friendship grew
into a special thing
But I never realized
the extra special gift I got
When I gave your mom that ring.

You became my special friend
And you filled my heart with Love.
You were one of GODÆs great gifts
Sent from up above.

I was only there for
7 years of your life
But before your mom
became my wife
She was blessed with 7 prior
But hers were filled with strife.

You were her constant companion
Her friend at every turn.
You would set together in the cold
And watch the fire burn.

But Daisy you grew old and
tired and soon
we knew youÆd leave
And leave us down here all
alone to cry and hurt
and grieve.

We are selfish yes we know
For we knew that
it would hurt for us
to have to let you go.

That fateful day in April came
when you had to leave us here.
We made one last attempt
to help you get well
so we could keep you near.

But the look in those tired
eyes really told us no
You knew your time was over
you knew that is was thru.

We called the Vet to see
what it was that she thought
we should do
And the vet told us
that choice is up to you
But Daisy you were special right
to the very end.

You knew how much
it would hurt us
To make the decision
to send you on your way
So as I prepared the place
where your body we would lay
I heard your mother scream and
knew that this would
be the day.

I ran inside and held
you close against my chest
And screamed oh no
please donÆt go
But I was being selfish
I knew you wanted rest
And then God showed me
what really was the best.

I stroked your precious head
and told you you could go
Because I really loved you
and did not want
to see you suffer so.
And while I held my baby
you left this mortal world
And left a hole inside
my heart that nothing here can fill.

They say time heals all wounds
but I donÆt see how it can
For I miss you more each day.
The tears still flow and
the aches still there
Especially when I see that empty chair.

Chicken will never be as good
for it you liked to eat
Cause when we picked it up
your eyes took on a spark
And you would beg for some
while setting at our feet
With that special little
feed me kind of nagging bark.

I know that one day again
we two again shall meet
But until that day comes
IÆll not forget
The joy that you did bring
And the extra special blessing
I received
When I gave your mom that ring.

PRECIOUS

Precious was my girl from the first spring day in 1996 when I brought her home from the dog pound until her last day on earth in September 2001. After the unimaginable tragedies of September 11 how could anyone be expected to focus on the pain of losing a beloved dog? Precious left this world on the afternoon of September 15 2001 just a few days after that infamous day that shook our world to its very foundations. Everyone felt so much grief over the loss of so many people that no one seemed to be able to identify with my painful loss and I could not blame them. How could I share with anyone how much Precious had taught me about the gift of love while the entire world was reeling from these monstrous deeds. But animals have the true gift of unconditional love and that was the lesson I learned from Precious.

On September 13 after spending three nights at the Vetæs office I took Precious home for the last time in one last ditch of hope against hope that she would start to get better. She was much too tired to take the three-block walk home but by taking slow baby steps all the way we were finally able to make it home to her big yard that she loved so much.

Precious climbed into my (or should I say her) hammock and promptly prepared to take yet another long nap while I sat in a lawn chair by her side. It was a gorgeous Indian Summer day. With the late afternoon sun streaming through the branches of our splendid sheltering silver maple tree we shared a few final hours together. Suddenly Precious raised up from her deep sleep and put both paws on my knees and showered me with doggy kisses. Then she laid back down to resume her nap. But within a few more minutes she again got up put her paws on my lap and repeated covering my face with kisses. The whole thing had a magical timeless quality about it. I remember thinking how could this weak exhausted little dog who could hardly raise her head get up enough energy to twice hoist herself up onto my lap and cover me with all those kisses?

In retrospect I came to know that she was kissing me goodbye. Two days later I had that terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that the end was very near. Precious had suffered a Grand Mall seizure so violent that we knew that it was time. After she recovered slightly she went and laid down by the back gate to hide as she had done all through her failing health. I called to her from the gangway and heard myself say “Precious itÆs time to go home.” She understood. Truly dogs understand so much more than we give them credit for. She pulled herself up and came to me and slowly we took the final walk back to the vetÆs office. She was ready to go and she had accepted it.

Through all the tears I shed and the heartaches I endured with the pain of missing her beautiful presence I now believe deep in my soul that the physical death of a much-loved animal companion is not the end. I know that we will see them again without the pain of watching them get sick or grow old and without the ache of eventual separation. Each and every animal who loved us on earth has a place in heaven right by our side. In their pureness of heart they show us what a God-like love really is. Surely if love never dies then the bond between us and our animals will be even stronger after we leave this earth than it was while they were here teaching us
the great truth —
that in the vast configuration
of the universe

love is really all there is.

As you move over the “Rainbow Bridge” know that you are loved missed and cried over a lot. We’ll always miss you guiding the latest “pet” into/out of the house – by letting them know who was the boss and senior resident.

Wherever you are now rest assured that we will be there and hope that you’ll be waiting for us. Hopefully Bart has found you and the two of you are taking good care of Meemaw. She’ll take care of you until we get there. Okay?

Don’t forget to let them know that your a bi-lingual kitty. Your home was with us no matter where the military took us and you stayed with us until after retirement and the move to the desert. You weren’t too thrilled about the desert but you really liked that air conditioning.

Now you’ll have someone else
to feed you until
we can be with you again.

Give our love to all.

Miss you mine schatzie.

Ich liebe diesch.

Polly

You were our most precious sweet baby cat and we love you with all our hearts. You came into our lives seven years ago and for seven years it was just you me and Rupal living together and enjoying each others’ love. You were such a nervous little thing when you first came to live with us but you gradually felt your way towards us and once you’d made that journey onto my lap and into our hearts you never left for a moment. You used to stalk me around the house and would cry out for just a cuddle or a stroke.

Your pretty little face and beautiful eyes were a joy to us. We thought that we would have you far longer than we did. There is a hole in our lives now that you have passed away and we miss you terribly. In our dreams we stroke your soft sweet fur and in waking moments think of you on your favourite cushion stretching and purring and sitting with your paws tucked under you watching us watching you.

Polly we will never forget
the love we shared and
we thank you for everything
you gave us over seven years.
Sweet dreams darling.
Love

Steve and Rupal

To Bryna and all
of Jack’s Family;

This has been such a heartbreaking time for you and after all the hospitals and tests and procedures it is so sad that we could not save him. But Bryna he would not have been able to do it all without the love you gave him he was so lucky to have had you in his life however short. This was truley a difficult time for you all but there is a reason why he was to come into your life and be your best friend and for you to experience this with him.
He is at the Bridge now
and will see you
again one day!!!
Remember the love you shared
We are thinking about you
and praying for you

Sincerely

Cindy your loss has left a void in my life. You came to me when I was going through a very hard time. You made me forget my troubles. You were a angel and for the last ten years have given me nothing but your endless love little girl. I’m sorry that when you needed me most I wasn’t there for you. If only I would of known just how sick you were
I feel like I let you down.

Finding you was the saddest day of my life and I miss you alot. Your friend Sasha misses you. You let her come into our home when she was homeless and became best of freinds with her and you would be so proud of her as she’s become a better dog since your passing all because of your influence on her. That’s just how you were the most most gentle soul to everyone that met you and we all miss you.

I hope that whereever
you’re at
you’re doing what you like
doing best chasing tennis balls.

Love

Your family
