Today we had to make a very difficult decision. We had to help our friend cross the rainbow bridge. We knew he didn’t want to leave us but we knew his suffering was more than he could bear.

Peabody was a survivor. We “adopted” him after a neighbor saw him tossed from a moving car. We took in the scruffy pup with the extra tuft of hair on his neck and he became a steadfast member of the family fierce protector
loyal companion and lovable pal.

He loved the summer sun lying for hours soaking it in. He’d play catch (more like explode the tennis ball) and the tricks he wouldn’t do for a bone. Better than a rooster that was Peabody. Up at dawn barking to let us know it was breakfast. I missed that this morning. I will miss it every morning. I will miss stepping over that big black bear rug with the sandy brown legs and
gentle golden eyes.

I will miss him lumbering up to me as I grill steaks in the summer. I will miss “accidently” dropping some on the deck for him. I will miss giving him breakfast
on Sunday mornings.

Peabody my friend
when I look at the morning sun
I will always remember you.
You will live on
in our hearts forever.

No regrets.
Miss you and love you boy.

We face the one year mark since you left us that sad day. You gave your little self to save our son. Your pictures still hang on the wall and down the hall. You’ll always be a part of our family till we meet again over rainbow bridge. Try to behave yourself. You independent protective imtimadating loving sassy little girl.

I still to this day miss you so and I always will. You were so very special. There will never be another YOU. I love you miss you and your memory will always be a treasured one. I reach for you at times knowing you’re not really there. But I can feel your little proud spirit drifting through the air.

In loving memory of a
very unique little lady

I will see you again.

Year’s of laugh’s enjoyment and companionship you gave me I wish we had many more. Without you it isn’t the same. For you are in a better place
no longer in pain.

If you can hear me I’d want you to know another cat there will never be. For you “cannot” and “will not” be replaced. It’s hard to realize how much you are missed
now that you are gone.

You will never be forgotten!

Phoebe I miss you

Daddy {Dennis}

Have fun in heaven
with your friends both old and new.

You were born in Canoga Park where you lived with your mother and brother. Your brother had been chosen for show and received all the attention. In order to get your fair share you learned to push your mother and brother around and earned your name of Boss.

When you were six months old you came to live with Dave and me and our older dog who was feeling lonely after the loss of your brother. You were a complete surprise to me when I came home to find two dogs waiting for me. You were a bundle of wiggles and made it hard for me to determine what kind of plumbing you had. You were such a beautiful puppy grew up to be a beautiful dog. I wish that I had been able to see you when you were smaller but I am glad that you finally
came to live with us.

You were very active when you were young. You used to wake me up in the morning with your kisses and when I tried to sleep a bit longer you would come bounding in again to give me some more of your love. You were really in need of love and attention and we were glad to give it to you.

It did not take you any time at all to follow your foster-brotherÆs example and go out through the doggie door to the back yard. While you were out there you loved to push around a big ball or attack the garden hose. When you were inside you spent a lot of your time lying on the arm of the couch. There you could see out the window to the front ready to defend our home from attacks by the mailman or other strangers and ready to see us when we got home and bark your greeting to us. When we were home to play you loved to play chase inside with a soft ball or chase after the wiggly battery-powered toy. We also got you a toy car you could chase and you usually caught it.

We soon introduced you to riding in the motorhome and you took to it right away. You loved to go on trips with us. We took a long one soon after you joined our family and tried to jump out the window. I had to hold you and you were so strong I almost couldnÆt. But you turned out to be a great traveler. You liked to sit back of Dave and put your feet on your shoulder so that you could see where we were going. We called you the “Navigator”. Sometimes you would fall asleep there with your head on DaveÆs shoulder and other times you would sleep draped on his lap. When we stopped you liked to get up on the table where
you could see out the window.

Later we got a different motorhome where you could not reach DaveÆs shoulder. We fixed you a place on the motor cover where you could ride and see out. You loved the big window in front. When we stopped you sat up on the dash and protected us from attack squirrels or other invaders by watching out the window. We also had to watch you when we were travelling to make sure you did not get too bored. Then you would try to bury your food and sometimes made a big mess when you tipped it over.

Your older brother left us and you welcomed a younger foster brother. You were so patient and gentle with him even letting him take the treat from you. Of course we made sure you got your share. That little brother left us early and you became an only dog. By this time you had slowed a little bit and were able to ride on the dash part of the time.

We moved from the home where you had spent almost fourteen years and you came with us to our new home. You loved the big back yard but did not like going out the new dog door which was different. You could come in though and demanded your treat when you did. But the best thing was to go out in the front yard because then one of us would be with you. You also liked to sit by me on the loveseat in the evening though sometimes the stove got too warm and you moved to your corner by the door.

By this time you were pretty deaf and cataracts had blurred your vision. You could not see the cats unless they moved but then you still loved to chase them. You were very good when you were outside with us obeying our hand signals. When it was time to go in you would race to the
kitchen for your treat.

Somehow years before you had injured your back and had two fused vertebra. We donÆt know how it happened but we were always careful to try to help you down from things so you did not hurt it more. For years it was not much of a handicap but then a bit of arthritis set in and your neck got stiff and your head tilted to one side. Just before your last Christmas something in your back and neck would cause you to go into convulsions. You popped back from them fairly quickly at first and amazed us at how strong you were. Finally the convulsions began to occur more frequently and your recovery in between was longer. Toward the last you no longer went to the kitchen for your treat but waited for us to bring it to you in the other room. We were happy to do that but sorry to see it happen. But even in your last few days you saw a cat in the back yard at night and
really barked at it.

Finally on your last night you had a convulsion in the evening when Dave tried to play with you. You got up from that one but in the night you had another and that time you were obviously in pain afterward. You wandered around bumping into things and trying to crawl away. We knew then that it was time and the next morning we took you on your last ride in the car and said a final goodbye at the vetÆs.

Boss we loved you and could hardly bear to come home to an empty house. We were so used to finding you there and taking you out in the front yard. It was because we loved you and missed you so much that we had to get other dogs to try to help fill the void. But still when I come home I almost hear your bark of greeting and wish that I could be getting you your treat and sit by you on the love seat.

I will always miss you
my friend.
Take good care of Blue for me
and show him
the ropes of Heaven.

Mr.Tippi Toes came from the same breeder as I got Miss Ladi Love from. Mr. Tippi was my boy and was my best friend. And Mr. Tippi Toes had a bond with my cats and Mr. Toes and Mr. Paws helped him out. And Mr. Tippi Toes had to go to see the vet this one day and so did the Cats and the vet saw that Mr. Tippi Toes had a heart problem and Mr. Toes and Mr. Paws helped him out. By racing with Mr. Tippi Toes and all I saw was my cats then Mr. Tippi Toes it was like that the whole day and went to the vet again and the vet was pleased to see that his heart
was a little bit stronger.

Then you were by my side always and nobody could touch me at all. I still miss you very much I did not have you that long. And you will be in my heart now and forever and here is my good-bye for now and you are free from pain and you are
on the rainbow bridge and
I will see you again.

I love you always.
Your sister

Dear Petey

You were my friend companion and the only joy of my life. I miss you so much words cannot express my feelings. There is pain in my heart and tears in my eyes. My life from this moment on will never be the same there is an emptiness a hole.

For 17 years you have given me so much. Whenever my personal and family life became chaotic all I had to do was to look at you pet you hold you and the chaos would subside. You will forever and always have a special place in my heart and
I will forever love you.

You are in God’s kingdom now
and he will watch over you
until we are re-united.

You were my light
through my rough teen years.
The day you disappeared
my heart died.
I’m sure you’re in Heaven now.

Baby

It has been a year since your death and I still cannot bear that you are not here with me. I miss you so much my angel my child. I thank God that He gave you to me for the wonderful seven years that I had you and I pray that you are bringing as much joy to heaven as you brought me here on earth. You were a wonderful friend and companion and I will never stop loving you or missing you.

I know that we will meet again
and I cannot wait
until the day that you leap
into my arms once again.

Until then

Mama {Amanda}

In November I adopted two female mice Mus and Souris who both turned out to be pregnant. Souris had her babies with no problems but Mus died giving birth. I had no idea as to how to keep these days old pinkies alive but it did not matter because Souris nursed all 16 babies! She was a wonder! She was such a wonderful mom! All of the babies survived into adulthood although she outlived several of them.

Souris survived an enormous abscess and a tumor as well as a dead tail tip and two surgeries. She died shortly after her second. Souris was such a wonderful mother and mouse and friend. She was my sweet strong baby. I miss you so much Souris!! You were always so happy and friendly and perfect. I hope you have lots of peanut butter now!

I love you.

You gave us so much love and happiness and I’m only sorry that we could not have more time with you! You were taken from our lives much too soon but we will never forget you!

You are an angel now
and I know you
are always with us.

Be happy my little one
and we will be together
again some day!

Prince came into my life on a cold August morning..he was the son of my next door neighbor’s dog. I found him in the doghouse with 2 other pups. He ended up being one of 13 pups. The owner put many of them in a garbage bag and threw in the creek. I rescued Prince and his sister Princess. I bottle fed them and
they went everywhere I did.

Lose princess to parvo but didn’t know what it was. Weeks later I saw Prince had the same symptoms so I rushed him to the vet. They didn’t think he’d live through the night but he did. He lost his eyesight but we made it though and 2 weeks later
he regained his eyes.

I have never in my life been so close to a dog than my Prince. We moved to a farm so hed have a place to run..this is 3 years later. I woke up that cold February morning and he was unbalanced I knew something was wrong. The next door neighbor had poisoned him with antifreeze.

He died sometime that day I went ahead to work and when I came home he was passed away but laying right beside the road where I get out of the car. He was waiting on me. He was a wonderful pet and great companion and my best friend. I will never forget my Prince and he will always be in my heart.

“Chloe”

A few months have passed by and I rescued a puppy form the shelter. She was a lab like Prince and had the same soft ears and same little tail and those eyes that could melt your heart. I took her everywhere I went. When I took my 7 year old daughter to school she’d hop in for the ride. 11pounds of pure love..Licks and a tail that wagged her whole behind.. She made me feel good again.
It was so happy.

Last night March 12th she started acted funny and would not eat. She started throwing up and I called the vet at 2 a.m. No one ever returned the ER call. So I took her to another vet where she was diagnosed with parvo. I spend $81 that we didn’t have that was to pay part of the car payment in hopes to save her life. I should have gotton her the parvo shot but I didnt. I had put it off
for a month.

She died a most horrible death. I gave her her medicine and left with my family to gymnastics and when I returned she had passed away. Buried her by the lake. I don’t understand why this had to happen. Why she caught parvo.. Please Please immunize your pets!!! Don’t put yourself what I had to go through. Now is less than 2 months
I lost both my babies.

Forever missed and
forever in my heart..

Thank you Rusty

For all the joy happiness and love you have given us. Your playfulness puppy smile and continuous affection brought enjoyment to our lives. From the day you chose us you were our BOY. If we had a bad day you cheerfully greeted us and warmed our spirits. You welcomed a newborn baby with compassion love and curiosity. You protected us against whatever came our way. Your love friendship and support were more than we could have asked for;
you were the best dog
we ever had.

You have been gone for just a few days and the emptiness we feel is strong WE MISS YOU. We hope we gave you the same level of love that you provided us. We are very thankful for the time we spent with you. Grandma always said you looked like a little professor riding in the front seat of the truck and she looked forward to seeing you every day. As long as we live you will always be with us in our hearts. You put up a good fight. We love you Rusty very much.

Go in peace our Rusty buddy.
Say hello to Grandpa.
