Hades vom Drackland thru Husky


Hades vom Drackland, 7/1/01-10/13/01

He was only with us for three short weeks. Even though he graced us with his presence for such a short time, we feel lucky to have had him. God as a special plan for him, and maybe another soul from 9/11 needed a companion. Hades will take good care of that soul. He was a good pup. Hades was a German Shepherd who was destined for greatness, but little did we know that the greatness he was destined for was to be in heaven. I wish that the right thing had not been so hard to do, but to make you suffer more in order for us to feel better about the decision would have been cruel. Your loving family, Hans, Ginger, Hali, Isis, and K9 Nate.


Haile, 09/96-01/18/01

Haile, you will be missed. Even by Lazlo. You came into our lives such a tiny mess of mottled fur and grew into a beautiful monster. We wish it wasn't your time to go but you must be needed more elsewhere. We will always remember your headbutts, love of tummy scratches and the way you purred like a diesel engine the moment anyone touched you.

We will always love you and will forever have a special place in our hearts for your memory.

Sleep peacefully.

Robin, Dave & Lazlo


Haley, 1990-10/01/98

My darling Haley: There is no special reason to post this tribute to you today, it is neither your birthday, nor the anniversary of any particular milestone. Today is simply the day that Mommy, after more than two long years without you, feels able to do this. You were, are, and always will be my boy, my first true love, my greatest teacher. From the moment you popped up from my door step that cold September night until the bright crisp October morning just six years later, when you told me you had had enough, you owned me, heart and soul. I miss you today as I have every minute since holding you in my arms for the very last time. I would give everything I have to bury my face in your fur for one more minute! I'll see you at the Rainbow Bridge, my sweetheart, as soon as I can! You know how much I love my Haley Face! Always loving you, always missing you, always thanking you. Love, Mommy


Half Moon, 06/30/84-05/07/01

To my special "Moo-mees" - You came into my life one special afternoon almost 17 years ago and have been a wonderful part of my life ever since. You will never know how much you were loved and what you meant to all of us. I will miss you terribly and look forward to the day when I can hold you close and hear you purr again.

Thank you for sharing your life with me and loving me as much as I loved you. You all were always there for me no matter what. Please tell Tannies and Peepers we love them and miss them very much.

Halloween, 05/16/01

Halloween was a very sweet cat. He was loved by friends and family. He was a big boy and protected his sister and brother. He was loving to children. He was my baby kitty and always will be. Time was to short to share our life together. It is very sad to say good bye to a great friend. Some how I feel that Max and Dixie knew that our Halloween was going through hard time with this cancer, Max never moved his side. Halloween was a great cat there is so much to say about him. We will carry your memories in our hearts. Love you for ever. MOM


Hamlet, 06/99-07/07/01

This is for Hamlet who was the best hamster I have ever had. He won several ribbons for best pet and he truly was. He would never bite, and always snuggled so kindly. His children will live out his memory!

Hammer Swine, 06/03/92-03/25/01

My Hammer Swine was a sweet "baby" of a soul. He gave so much love and talked and talked to us every day. He loved his Mama "Oinka Doo" and his Sister "Onika Dee" and he really loved his human "me" Thanks Hammer for being so sweet and gentle. Thanks for also doing the unselfish thing and giving back to your breed like your mother did to help Vet learn of Potbellied Pig health problems.

We miss you. Onika Dee wanted me to say she miss you too.

Hammy, 02/12/01

Hammy, has gone. *A true story of Ham's death and cause*

Day 1, Feb. 6, 01

Hammy gives birth to a litter of 12 babies. I don't disturb her in any way except to giver her milk and bread. she doesn't seem to mind me placing it in her cage quietly.

Day 3, Feb. 9, 01

I do as I always, and give Hammy some food, and count the babies, still 12 of them. Hammy's tail is wet. I didn't think It was serious, so I ignored it.

Day 5, Feb. 11, 01

Hammy's under side gets wet with a musky smell. I thought it was because of her birth, which now, sadly, was narrowed down to 8 babies.

Day 7, Feb. 12, 01

I checked up on Hammy one last time for the day, thinking shed still be ok. I was wrong. She was worse! I saw her wet stomach and tail. That's when it hit me. Wet tail had taken its toll on the poor, little hamster... I rushed to get a travel cage, but when I got back, I was minutes to late. Hammy, had died in my hand. Seeing her look at me, one last time, gave me a warm feeling, telling me, she was ok. Hammy, was gone. If your hamster gets wet tail, don't wait like I did. I must now suffer the consequences, of loosing a beloved pet, Hammy.

Love always,

Handsome, 10/30/92-10/30/00

Handsome, you crossed the Rainbow Bridge one year ago today (10-30-2000) on your 8th birthday. I tried so hard to save you. But that awful cancer stole you away. I know you are in peace and running with your friends in the wind on all 4 legs now. You left a giant void, a empty heart, but wonderful memories. Someday we will meet again. Please wait for me....Susan.


Hang Ten, 03/25/01

Hang Ten was my best friend...

Carrie Inaba


Hank, 12/08/89-05/20/01

Hank was my best friend and the closest I'll ever have to a child. He saw me through 2 divorces and he and I moved many times together. He always had love for me and I could always count on him standing there looking out the front window when I got home. I know that some day we'll meet again at the Rainbow bridge and we'll be together again. When I first got him as a puppy, he started sleeping in the bed with me. He just didn't like to sleep without a pillow, who can blame him! I had him cremated and then had the ashes put in a cedar box. Then I had a picture of him as a puppy lazer engraved on a brass plaque and had that attached to the box. I keep the box next to my bed so that when I wake he is the first thing I see and when I go to sleep, he is the last thing I see! When I pass, I want to be cremated and have our ashes mixed and spread together.
I love you Hank and I miss you every day!


Hank, 05/05/85-06/11/01

In loving memory of my sweet Angel Hank
5/5/85-6/10/01
(A letter from a sad Mom to her Angel Cat & a letter
from the Angel Cat to his Mom)


Hanks Mom: To my sweet angel Hank:
Last night while I lay in my bed all alone
My house felt so empty no longer a home

Angel Hank: To my Mommy:
Last night you weren't in bed all alone
Mommy you know I would never leave home

Hank's Mom: Thoughts of my Angel Hank raced through my head
My life feels so empty, my heart is like lead.

Angel Hank: Thoughts of you Mommy danced in my head
I love you Mommy, does it need to be said?

Hank's Mom: I asked God Why? "Why did you take Hank away?"
Didn't he realize you wanted to stay?

Angel Hank: I asked God why he took me away?
He touch me lovingly, but did not say

Hank's Mom: In my mind I still hear your sweet mews
Without you my love I just feel so blue

Angel Hank: In my heart I feel your tears
Mommy we had so many great years.

Hank's Mom: I can still feel you jump up on to the bed
Settling down on the pillow right by my head

Angel Hank: Mommy I still jump up on to the bed
I lay myself down right next to your head

Hank's Mom: I've asked God to keep you near in his sight
"Take care of my Angel Hank Please hold him tight"

Angel Hank I've asked God to keep me near to your light
"Take care of my Mommy, and please hold her tight"

Hank's Mom I can still hear your purrs as you grew more content
In your sweet ways I found what love really meant.

Angel Hank: You still make me purr and feel so content
You are the one who showed me, what loving meant.

Hank's Mom: Sleep now my sweet Angel Hank, go fast to sleep
When my time comes, do you think we will meet?

Angel Hank: Be at peace my dear Mommy and please try to sleep
I'll know when its time and I know we will meet.

Hannah, 01/23/87-06/08/01

To Hannah -
You gave us so much joy
You gave us so much companionship
You helped make us a family
You were our best friend
We can never thank you for all you gave us. Your loving, happy spirit always gave us hope and made us smile. We can only honor your memory and look forward to seeing you at the rainbow bridge. We love you always. George, Michele and Sean.


Hannah, 06/93-01/02/01

I brought Hannah to live with us one week after my father died. I missed him so much and needed someone to care for, Hannah was the one I picked. Actually, she picked me. She was fat and lightly spotted and I loved her from the first glance. As the years passed Hannah became a very important part of our family. She only lived 7 years with us, but in those years she showed me more love than I could imagine. I was recently reminded that I kept her with me at all times, and that we communicated constantly. Hannah became very ill Christmas day 2000. She lived a little over a week, she had a tumor on her pancreas, it was the same thing my father died of. We had to let her go the day after New Year. Words can not express how much we miss her, she was my friend, and I hope every night that I will see her sweet little face again. I pray there is a Rainbow bridge and that Hannah is there waiting for me.. running through the grass toward me, like she used to do in our yard. I love her, and miss her so very much.

Hannah Sue Knowles, 7/01/92-10/12/01

Our precious Hannah Sue was the most courageous girl I've ever known. Although her life was plagued by health problems, she never let them get her down. She was always happy and loved to make us laugh. She was such a clown..one silly girl. Even when she lost the use of her back legs and we wondered about putting her down, she made it clear to us that she was not going anywhere. Because she still had such a strong will to live and love, we bought her a doggie cart and she loved it. There were times when we could barely keep up with her..when she was in her "buggy" all was right with her world. The last few weeks were hard as she lost the use of her front legs and got weaker and weaker until one night she stared into my eyes and seemed to be letting me know that she was ready to go to that "bridge" place I had told her so much about. She made her journey to the bridge on Friday 10/12/01 while resting in my arms. I know she is happy and healthy again, but we miss her more than I can even begin to tell. We love you Hannah Sue...be sweet and remember Momma will be there one day to get you.


Hans, 06/26/00-08/14/01

It is so very hard waking up without you and going to bed without your warmth. You were a special part of our family and there is a special place in my heart for you. I miss you Hans and will never forget you!

To my best friend and selfless companion:

Thank you for your smile, laughter, selfless devotion, unconditional love and being my best friend and constant companion. You were always there with me when I laughed and when I cried. I can only hope that one day we will see each other again. You will always be sorely missed.

Your beauty will never be forgotten.

I will love you always...

Her little friend, Female white toy poodle, born ?1987, we rescued her in January 1992, went to the rainbow bridge November 2001.

Happy and Bitsy, Please find each other and play as you did before. You brought so much laughter, noise and fun into our dull existence. I loved you well and shall see you on the Rainbow Bridge when my time comes.

Harlequin (Harley) Rose, 07/95-12/30/00

Harley we weren't ready for you to leave us. You meant so much to us and we miss you and grieve your loss. You were my beautiful clown. Such a cute funny-looking girl – spotted and masked with a ringed tail. I loved watching you sleep and feeling you near me at night. You were always there to greet us at the top of the stairs, racing ahead of us to jump on the bed so you could be petted and loved on your favorite blanket. We are so sad you are gone so quickly from our lives. We take comfort in knowing your spirit lives on in a peaceful happy place. Until we meet again on the other side of the rainbow bridge, you live on in our hearts.

Marjorie & Ken


Harley, 05/25/94-11/30/01

Harley, you were such a special boy and will be dearly missed by us. Even though you lived two more glorious years after being diagnosed with your bone cancer, your memory will forever live on. Please protect your brother, Charger, at the Bridge, and play nice. We love you so much and you will be forever missed. We hope you had a safe and wonderful crossing and please don't ever forget us.

We love you so much, HarHar.

Harley, 03/98-08/19/01

Harley died Sunday afternoon after a short battle with an infection. he died on the exam table at the vet's office as the vet was trying to lance an abscess where the infection had settled. they were afraid to put him out, because of his illness. he became frightened, as I held my sweet baby, and he had a heart attack. I know my life will never be the same without him.

He was my child, best buddy, and the sunshine of my life. I long to hold him now, once again, and see his sweet smile. I long to pet his head and feel him shiver with happiness. I long to see him jump and kick up his legs, turn in the air, with the simple reason that he could. I held him each night in bed with me as we both snoozed. he loved to snuggle under the covers, with his little head on my left arm and chest.

I want him to know that I feel like in letting the doctor try to lance the abscess without pain medicine I feel his death was my fault. at the time, I listened to her, desperate to make him better. now, I wander around the house sometimes, and it is so painful to see him in each room, that I just lay in bed and cry. please, if there is really a god who listens, tell Harley that I loved him more than I can say here. if I could have been sick instead of him, I would gladly have done that to save him, and give him more time of happiness. I miss you so much baby, please forgive me if I did the wrong thing for you. I'll love you forever.

Harley, 08/07/01

We will all miss your snores in the middle of the night and the way you seemed to take care of everyone around you. You had a way of knowing when someone was sad and a way to make that someone smile. I will always remember you with a smile. You were my best friend and I thank you for that.

Harley, 09/20/91-02/11/01

Harmony, 08/01/00-08/05/01

Sweet Harmony, beautiful kitten and companion, you sat on the edge of the bathtub and dipped your feet in when I bathed, you woke me in the morning with a gentle kiss and meow, you purred me to sleep every night. I will miss you so, dear gentle soul, and I knew you wouldn't be here long, as you were such a precious, sweet, loving kitten. I cannot see any good that has come from your passing, I just hope that you are in a sweet place, where you can continue your chirping with the birds and dancing with the flowers. I am so sorry I went away and left you with strangers and I hope you didn't suffer when the car crushed your innocent being. I love you Harmony, and music will never be the same without you here. Thank you for spending your short life with me. You are always in my dreams and heart.

Tara


Harmony, 12/31/87-12/26/00

Harmony was a gentle giant. She protected the ones she loved all the time. Although she was big, she would never bite, even when something wrong went on. She loved everyone; family and friends.

Harry, 07/04/95-01/11/01

Our beloved Harry cat, brother to Fred dog; we all miss you! Although you were with us only a short time, we came to realize that you personified love and cool. You were always mellow and never failed to make us feel better with your larger than life purr. Our gentle giant, we can still hear that now distant soothing purr, feel that soft fur, and we miss you already! You never had an "attitude", got upset, hostile, met a stranger, or had a bad day. Everyone who knew you, fell in love with you instantly. You always set an example to make everyday, special. Our laps are empty and are hearts are sad, yet richer by having shared our lives together. Although we mourn our loss, we are blessed because you picked us. We won't forget our Harry cat, and know now more than ever; that love never dies. Thank you Harry for sharing your gift and life with us. We are blessed.

Bruce & Jane


Hartz T. Hope, 05/10/01

Gosh, you were cute. You had such elegant black fur, and I loved that little stripe on your throat that looked like Wite-Out. It make you look like you were wearing a tuxedo. When Fred had to move to California, I was thrilled that I got to be the one to take care of you. I sure do miss you. I hope you like the tree we plant for you.

Hathaway, 06/04/01

Hathaway was my wonderful "little boy" and I loved him very much. He was the first Himalayan I ever had, and made me fall in love with the breed. He was a beautiful cat, and was appropriately nicknamed "sexy man" by his "aunt." I was blessed to have him for 13 years - but it was a short 13 years. He brought joy and happiness into my life. I will miss him purring me to sleep while he slept on my pillow. I will miss him greeting me at the door and rolling over when I get home. I will miss him keeping my lap warm when I watch a movie. I will miss seeing his big blue eyes while I looked lovingly at him. I will miss him in so many ways. I know he went peacefully, and for that I am grateful. And I know he will be waiting for me when it's my turn to pass, and we will be together again. And this time forever.

Hatshepsut, 02/02/78-11/02/01

It is way too painful for me to type too much of anything at this time, her death is so fresh in my mind still and my heart is aching far too much.

Hatchie, or Hats a Mats a Puddin' in Pie, is resting in peace after 23 years of being my faithful, loving companion. I had her as far as I have memories. I was there for her when we put her misery to an end. She was advancing into severe renal failure. She still had her faculties with her, but couldn't walk or visit the litter... it was the only fair thing to do for an animal that gave me so much during her time with me. She joins her sister, Neffer (Nefertiti) now. She will be forever missed and forever loved and forever a part of me.

Thank you for helping me pay tribute to Hatchie.

May Harvey be happy and running with joy. We all miss him-he is a very special boy.

Hawk, 05/12/92-11/26/00

Hawk was the largest pup out of a litter of 9. But that wasn't the only reason I chose him, the way he looked at me, it seemed like he knew all about me. That never changed. We were somehow connected and he always seemed to know how to communicate to me what he wanted. He was the biggest German Shepherd I, or anyone who saw him had ever seen. Bear like, yet extremely agile Hawk was always obedient, loyal and always loving. He protected me when I needed protection, yet very affectionate to those he saw were welcomed by our home. He had Heart and I know that I will never have another dog like him. I miss him. He has even been in my dreams, gently lying his head on my lap looking at me with those loving gentle eyes. He will always be my bear, and always in my heart.

Hawkeye, 01/02/86-02/17/97

Hawkeye went to Doggie Heaven after a very brief bout of cancer. He went to Heaven in Tucson, Arizona, in a candle lit room in front of a roaring fire in the fire place with his mom, Tad and his cousin, Little Rags beside him. I loved that dog and miss him dreadfully. He was the best, he saved my life and I can't wait to see him again.

Heathen, 10/15/87-12/11/00 Camera Icon

To Heathen my loyal old friend
10/15/87 TO 12/11/2000

We went through so much together. There were bad times and good. But mostly good on your part! I miss you old friend.

You helped me through so many bad times in my life. Bad and/or broken relationships, drugs and booze and very close friends dying. It was with your help that I overcame all those very bad points in my life. Thankyou old friend.

Heathen got his name from a girl friend. I had a little house and had we had just moved in together. The water bed did not have a frame. It was just on the floor. Every morning that little puppy would come in and jump right on top of her face. We would change sides of the bed and guess what, he still found his mark. She started calling him a little heathen. Remember that Kelly? Well, the relationship faded, but not the name, heathen.

I took him with me every place. On the Harley in the truck, what ever. But as he got older, he decided that he did not like going and would rather just stay home. It was for him that I put up the fence. So he did not have to be on that chain. Remember heathen, how I promised you that you would have the ability to run? I made good on that promise.

He did not like cats at all. It was fun to watch him stalk a cat on the other side of the fence. Then at the last moment bark and growl and just have a good old time. When he stalked a cat, he was just like a mountain lion in the wild. All crouched down and made himself stealthy. Sometimes I would yell at him and he would just give a dirty look and keep going. It was much fun. Well as the years went by, you were not able to get quite as low to the ground but you still had a good time. I certainly hope that the cats are in a different part of heaven, (o:

I apologize for not being here for you in your time of need. I knew that you had not been feeling real good. But I had to go on the service trip for work and it was just a very short trip. Well, I left on Monday and you apparently passed on on Tuesday morning. I hope you did not leave this world thinking I had deserted you. Please know that I have always loved you and still do. Also, know that Katie, Pepper, Chubby and Stormy all miss you very much. Also, it looks as though Katie may with you fairly soon. You always liked it when she would lay there on the floor or in the yard and kiss you face and clean your ears. So, you may have her back, please watch for her.

Thanks for all the good times and memories, please wait for me near the Rainbow Bridge your old friend, Joe.


Heather, 11/13/87-10/9/01 Camera Icon

Our darling Heather, We miss you so much, on my 50th birthday we had to let you go, you could not suffer, it was an emergency. The cancer had got you and blocked your bladder completely. We had a year after diagnosis and knew it could happen any day, but I was not ready to say goodbye. I wanted you to stay, but the time had come.

You gave us 14 wonderful years. You were so special and we fell in love from the start. When your dad and I lay down with you on your last journey you were so sedated, we talked to you and held you, did you hear us!

We were all devastated after you'd gone, the house so empty, we could still smell you, all your doggy things, all the memories. Your long loud yawns, the nudges to tell me you wanted dinner, your singing. Your kisses and loving looks.

You were so gentle and loving, you looked so beautiful, with your pure white fur, your pale brown spots, velvet ears, sad eyes and that little freckle on your nose everyone admired you, but you only wanted us. How are we going to live without you? Before we brought you home from the crematorium I kept looking for signs that you were OK. I'd read the Rainbow Bridge Story and hoped it was true. I searched the sky looking for rainbows, but nothing.

Later the same day after we brought your ashes back home again. I was back at work in the office. I was alone, (which does not happen often) it was about 4pm, grey skies and I was thinking of you. The heavens opened and it poured for about 10 minutes. The weather matched my feelings. I gazed out of the window and for a few moments the sun shone. There in front of my eyes was the most beautiful rainbow. With tears streaming down my face I opened the window and said several times 'Baby, you are there, You are OK' I felt her love go through me, she didn't want me to be so sad.

Twelve days on, I still cry and miss her but I know she is not alone and I will see her at Rainbow Bridge one day. She sent me a message to comfort me. Its simple, we loved each other.

We will never forget you, beautiful baby girl.

Heather you always were my best friend and I will always love you to death. I'm so glad you are not in pain any longer. You were the best dog I could ever ask for. We have so many memories and I promise I will never ever forget any of them. Rest in peace my baby girl. I love you!
Love always,
Melanie

What a great dog you were. How could Melanie have ever had a better friend and protector than you? I can't tell you how much we already miss you. The house, garage, back yard, everywhere, it just isn't the same any more. How I miss you bouncing up and greeting us everytime we pulled into the garage, or to say goodbye as we were leaving. Please know how much we love you and hope to see you later on in our travels. Goodbye my friend!

It has been almost 4 years since I lost you but I still miss you so much. You were with us for 17 years and touched many lives during that time with your loving and caring personality. You only wanted to be loved and give love back, and that you did . Max has just gone to join you , watch over him and comfort him until I see you both again. Love forever
Mommy


Heidi, 9/6/90-11/14/01

To our special baby....you always brought us love and joy. You set an example of gentleness and respect for everyone who knew you. We will miss you and love you always.

Heidi, 4/2/97-9/10/01

Today I saw my best friend off to the Rainbow Bridge. She taught me the FEELING of unconditional love, and unfaltering companionship. My children learned the true meaning of compassion and trust by Heidi. Tonight was one of the most spectacular sunsets Virginia has seen in many months, and I think it is Heavens' way of letting us know of her arrival, and those others that journeyed with her on this sad day. As a new friend told me today, the only grief our pets bestow us, is the grief we suffer on their day of passing. I will miss you Heidi.

Heidi, 12/03/86-07/13/01

Heidi graced this world for a short while but enriched my life immeasurably. I miss her so much, there is pain. She fought battle after battle against one affliction or another and won them all except the last one, I lost that one for her. The bridge awaits me Heidi, go and play and I will join you soon. I miss you, love you, and remain dedicated towards your well being no mater where that is. Rest easy little one, I will not be far away.

Heidi, 10/02/81-07/15/96

Heidi was my first baby. She got me when I was pregnant with my now 19 year old son. She was there with me through a miscarriage, another human sister and she enjoyed the dirty diaper pail (yuck). Then she was there with me through my divorce and remarriage, moving, etc. Her last weekend of life, we went camping by the lake and her, Sadie (my other beagle) and I went to the lakeside and enjoyed the serenity of it all. When we got home that Sunday night, I know she didn't feel well, and the next day her and I both knew that we were taking our last car ride....It was one of saddest days of my life. I stayed with her until her heart stopped so that she wouldn't be without me on that cold table alone - she was always there with me, keeping me warm with her little furry body when I went through good and bad, that was the very least I could do for my "first baby". I know she's feeling better and waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for me...(she better be, right?). The bad thing is, I have four more dogs and four horses, and it will never be any easier, but she was my special child.

Heidi

My precious baby girl. Mommy misses you so much. But I could not let you go on suffering. I know you made no sounds of pain, but I knew you were hurting. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life baby girl, I wish I could have gone with you. But you wait for me at the Bridge, I will be there someday and we will have a wonderful time. You were with me for the bad days and the good days, and for that I thank you and love you so much. And you new Daddy misses you, You know you were his angel. We will both be waiting for you at the Bridge.
Love ,
Mommy... (Mary Ann)
Daddy...(Hector)


Heidi, 05/17/94-04/11/01

You were our special happy little girl who we brought home with us almost 7 years ago. You filled up every room in our house with your joy. You loved life and lived your life to the fullest. You never lost your puppy love for playing with your frisbees, balls, chasing squirrels and looking for birdies in the back yard. You loved swimming in the pool and retrieving your frisbee and played for hours. You always had time to give us kisses and lots of love and attention. Your Aunt Sandy held a special place in your heart too! Our hearts are broken now but we look forward to reuniting with you at the Bridge and collecting all those wonderful kisses we've missed. You will always be in our hearts. Till we meet again our precious little Heidi... Love, Mom & Dad & Gretchen


Heidi, 02/26/90-09/11/99

HEIDI,
You were our "Big Girl" and we loved you dearly. You will always be in our hearts and memories. We had you 9 1/2 years and we treasure the good times together. You left many paw prints on our hearts and no one will ever take your place.

Donna Shepherd


Heidi, 05/07/88-08/08/00

Heidi, my little girl with the shining silver coat and even brighter shining eyes. Eyes so filled with love that a friend saw you looking at me one day and said, "I think she could just eat you up." The feeling was mutual, little girl. You gave me exactly 12 years and 4 months of pure, unconditional love. I can only pray that you got as much back from me. To others, you were a beautiful Miniature Schnauzer. To me, you were the light of my living. Our daily walks by the lake were the best moments of my life. We had so many adventures - many, too many, to talk about here. Honey, I had to let you go, because our friend, Tom the Vet, said the cancer was too bad and that you couldn't make it much longer and you were in pain. You came through the experimental surgery a month earlier just fine, and even romped through the house the Friday night before you left on Tuesday. Your courage and love are a standard that I can only pray to achieve. I try to keep thinking of you romping and playing and smelling the clover on the pretty side of the Bridge. But the tears come anyway. I long for the time that I will be able to hold you in my arms again and give you kisses on your little snooter. Heidi, my partner, I'm not whole without you. There are two little brothers here in the house now, little black and silver Mini Schnauzers, Max and Dutch. They were born the day before you made your journey. They, too, are my loves. And I know what you're saying -- "Yup, it took two boys to do my job". Well, darlin', they aren't doing your job, it's not possible. They have a special place in my heart, just as you. And, someday, they'll get to meet you. I may even see you first, but we'll all be together, as one, someday.
I love you, sweetie.
"Uncle Wayne" (Wayne Turner)

Heidi Ray, 04/28/01

My Heidi was the best. She was smart, brave, full of humor, and always ready for a new adventure. She taught me many things: how to love, how to be loyal, how to be patient, and in the last year of her life she taught me how to put another's needs before my own.
I miss her and the deep joy she brought to my life.

Helen, 12/30/00

To my sweet, sweet baby in heaven, you are in heaven a few hours now with grandma & your sisters Weenie, Scorpio, Sally and your brother Zachary. We at home will miss you too.. your brother Walter and your sisters Duncan, Spooky & Ms Kitty will miss you terribly.
You are my Angel Baby now, you were always so soft, and loved to cozy up on my lap and sleep between my legs.
I will miss that more than you will ever know.
My beautiful Helen... be peaceful and know that you are loved by all who knew you. I remember the first time I saw you in my yard and you were hungry I fed you and decided to bring you inside to be part of our family. So I'm sorry for crying so much last night as I held you and knew you had to go, as the gentle snow fell outside our window where you loved to bask in the sunshine...
... I Love You Helen .....

Henry, 07/24/99-06/04/01

Our beautiful furry baby Henry was taken from us suddenly, along with a big piece of our heart. He was not even 2 years old. We are thinking of him all the time and hope that he is safe and well in heaven and not pining for us. Henry was a rescued Pointer. We only had him for 1 year. But that 1 year was so full of love and joy. We wish it hadn't come to an end. We had 3 wonderful doggy holidays with Henry in that time in Cornwall. This time last week, we didn't know that our time with Henry was drawing to a close. How dark these days are without you Henry. You are with us in our hearts for always, until we can cuddle once more together. Night night 'ittle boy Mushki. Keep safe.

Tania


Henry, 04/25/01

Henry passed away suddenly this morning at the too-young age of four years. Henry, we got you to the vet as fast as we could, but you were gone already. Daddy and Mommy and Cabernet love you very much -- you know that.

We thought you would be with us for many more years. We are so happy for the time you spent with us. We love you very, very much.

Mommy, Daddy, and Cabernet


Henry VIII, 06/01/97

Henry was my sons' first furry pet and the loss is especially hard. He will continue to be loved & will be missed. We are glad that his passing was painless & that he will be forever young, healthy & happy. We'll see you again but until then know you are in our hearts.

Hobart, 04/07/01

Hobart was a tough guy with a mooshy heart. I adopted him when he was 6 from the Portland Humane Society in 1995--I knew that he was the cat for me because when I opened his cage, he climbed on my shoulder and draped himself around my neck. He was so handsome in his formal black and white suit and beautiful green eyes. And his personality--even people who didn't like cats liked him. Hobart went to live with parents two years because I thought he would be safer in a small town than in the big city---he always liked to wander, no matter how hard I tried to keep him inside. Hobart has been missing since 4/7/01. We believe he was killed by a coyote. It breaks my heart to know I will never hear his meow again, or feel his fur, or see him play with his string toy again. I miss him so much.

Hobbes, 04/01/89-01/01/01

Dear Hobbes:
We picked you out of a litter of 10 Golden Retrievers. We knew from the start that you very very special. You were my soul mate....always there for me with a softness and magic understanding. After two years, you developed epilepsy, but we loved all the more. We feel so blessed to have shared 12 years of your life....you touched us all. I cry often about your last month of bad health, suffering from a brain tumor; but you fought it with grace and dignity until the end. I am sooo sorry if you suffered at all Hobbes. We had hope that you might be able to conquer it, so we never gave up. I pray everyday that you are pain free and in a happy place. I can see you running through the meadows, swimming in the lakes and oceans, rolling in the snow, and playing tug-a-war with other friendly critters. I look forward to a day when I can pet your soft coat, hug your warm body and look into your wise and gentle eyes. I miss you everyday and can't seem to stop the crying. Of course the whole family mourns your passing, but Hanna is lost without you. She always had you to follow around and be company to her. She looked up to you Hobbes. We are going to get another puppy soon. We are hoping that will give a boost in her spirit. She will have her work cut out for her as she helps us raise a little one. We can never REPLACE you, but we feel we have a lot of love to offer a new puppy. Please look over us Hobbes and continue to bless us with your spirit and soul. We will LOVE you forever.

Cindy and family


Hobbes, 7/28/89-12/19/00

Hobbes was the undisputed King of the household. He was the first cat I'd ever shared a home with, though 2 others quickly followed. Hobbes liked other people well enough...enough to allow them to scritch him and admire him for a bit, but I was his one and only. I have never been so unconditionally loved by any being, 2 legged or 4, than I was by Hobbes. The feeling was mutual. He fell asleep with me every night and was there every morning when I awoke. If I was outside the house, he'd be in a window meowing at me to come inside with him where I belonged. If I was inside, he followed me from room to room. Time went by way too quickly when Hobbes got sick. I wish I could take back every time I was too busy to pay attention to him when he asked for it. I wish I could bury my face into his fat, furry back just one more time. My Doodle, my poopykitty, my little Hobbie Doo.....you were the best friend I've ever had. We miss you terribly. Even Calvin and Metaxa who don't have the slightest clue how to act now that the King Cat is gone.

Nancy Dodson


Hobbs, Romeo, Dallon, 12/14/01

We will miss all three of you, all three of you were a BIG part of our lives and will be missed everyday of our lives until we meet on Rainbow Bridge.

Hobie, 11/30/99

Doggie Heaven
(for Tori from Dad, February 14, 2001)

What trees there are
in heaven are unguarded
and happy to be blessed
with canine boisterousness.
The bones in heaven
long for chewing
and seek out
a puppy's favorite bowl.
Petting is forgiven,
and small animals love
to be chased.
Wrinkles
are
appreciated,
and the grass
springs
softly
between
doggie toes.
Where Ho is now
sadness never goes.
He loves
and is loved
by everyone
he knows.
The tears
we shed
for him
here
matter,
especially those
of little girls.
They gather
and swirl
in eddies
and settle
in his heart
like pearls.
'How lucky I am,'
he barks,
'to be loved
by one
special
little girl
whose light
makes heaven
as bright
with love
as it did
my world
below.'


Hocus Pocus, 08/22/89-09/28/01

Hocus Pocus was my little girl, She was 12 years old and had diabetes for 7.
She gave me nothing but pure happiness, she had a heart of gold. She managed to touch everyones heart who knew her.
She lost he courageous battle yesterday, I have 3 other furbabies, which I love with all my heart.
But Hocus was my special little angel, I know she is at the Rainbow Bridge no longer in pain.
Till we meet again my little special girl, mommy misses you so very much

Hogan, 08/07/01

We have had Hogan ever since we can remember! He was about 4 years when He came to live with us! He always loved to play with green balloons, so today after He crossed over the rainbow bridge, we let 6 green balloons float off into Heaven so that He would have His toys to play with! We watched them go high into the clouds and said a special prayer for Him! He was a major part of our lives and will always remember Him and the joy He brought to our lives!

Becky & Darlene Crawford


Hogan, 01/30/98-07/29/01

Hogan was a friend to everyone. He was a therapy dog and touched many people in many ways. He died suddenly from an infection and we are completely lost without him.

Jeanmarie


Hogan, 3/17/91-3/14/01 Camera Icon

Hogan was the most loyal dog I have ever owned. He was a wonderful companion and I miss him with all my heart. Unfortunately, I had to make the difficult decision to have him put down...I just couldn't watch him suffer any longer. I hope he's running around in heaven...painfree and that his heart now beats strongly.


Hogan, 02/19/91-03/26/01

To my best friend,

The moment I saw you, I knew you and I were going to be best friends for life. I had been wishing and dreaming for you to come along all my life. Even on your AKC records, I had named you "After All" because I was blessed to have you in my life after all the time I waited for you. I called you Hogan, because my dad's favorite show was Hogan's Heros and when I saw you, you were my hero. You were the most beautiful German Shepard I had ever seen, and people would always stop me and tell me how much they admired you. When I would take you to the vet's for your checkups, the staff loved to have you there. They couldn't believe how gentle you were and how forgiving. You never left my side and you even slept next to me every night. Several times a night you would get up and check out "our" kids and then come back to me, bury your nose into my neck to make sure I was still all right, then go back to sleep. I knew you could always tell when I needed a hug. I also know you were telling me right after you passed that you loved me when I heard a song on the radio by the Moody Blues saying, "And I love you". And I love you, too, dear friend. I will love you forever.

Carol and Family


Hogarth, 08/11/91-12/11/92

Hogarth was such a chubby chunk as a puppy. His overwhelming confidence and conviction that the whole world was in love with him made one think of Louis XIV, hence was called "The Sun Pug."

He died suddenly of a reaction to his first booster shot.

May Hogie and Woody (his dear Boarder Collie mix friend) play pug-of-war forever at Rainbow Bridge.

Holli, 09/27/97-01/06/01

Holli was a best friend to me, and to her brother Cricket. I know she died some time ago, but I still miss her so much. No one seems to understand it, they say she was "just a cat". She was never just a cat to me. She was my child and although I tried the best I could, I couldn't save her from Liver Disease. I still feel so sorry for not being able to save her life, I feel there should have been something I could do...and I hope she doesn't hate me for failing.

Ker Chapman


Holly

Holly was an abandoned dog that I got from a customer of mine. She was about 3 months old. She was the best dog anyone could have ever asked for. She was great with the kids, loved to play and run in the woods. She always brought a smile to my face every time I looked over at her. When I was sick, she would lay with me in bed...wouldn't leave me for a second! She was the best friend that anyone needed. I will miss her forever! Even though it has been several months, I still get tears in my eyes when I think about her. I wonder if she misses me as much as I miss her?


Holly, 09/21/99-07/20/01

Holly came to live with us November 15th of 1999. She was the runt of the litter of Jack Russell Terrier puppies that Ben and Russ begged me to come and see. As soon as we walked in the door, she came right over to Ben and when he picked her up, she kissed him. It was a done deal. She was his.

Holly must have been the most relaxed Jack Russell ever. She was happy just to be with us, never letting us out of her sight. She "power napped" with Russ in the afternoons and cuddled with Ben each night. And when I worked in my office, she lay in the doorway, either protecting me or ensuring I didn't get out on her.

Holly loved people and enamoured everyone who met her. Holly loved her ball. She ran with the ball all over the yard (or the house in the winter) and she could even play catch with you, which won first prize in the "Funniest Trick" category at the Barrie Canine Connections Agility Demonstrations. Holly became a star on the agility team with Ben as her handler, the youngest handler on the team. Holly loved agility; she couldn’t wait to get out on the course whether it was a practice or a demonstration. She loved Hope, one of her teachers at Barrie Canine Connections and her doggie-sitter when we went somewhere we could not take Holly.

Holly suffered a brain aneurysm Friday July 20, 2001 while we visited with Russ’ family at his sister’s cottage just north of Bowmanville. Her hind legs became wobbly first and then her front legs. Russ and I rushed her to the veterinary hospital immediately but while on the way, she slipped into a coma that she could not recover from. We left her in the care of the doctor and staff while we returned to the cottage to get Ben and then together, the three of us enveloped Holly in our love and said good-bye.

Holly is gone but will never be forgotten. Her spirit of unconditional love will always be with us. We know we were lucky to have Holly with us even for such a short time. We know that with time our hearts will be less heavy and our tears will be less frequent. But our love for her will never fade.

Ben Aldebert


Holly, 26/05/01

Holly, our dear girl, you brought us so much love and joy. You were the best pal through all the tough times. We are going to miss you so much. Wait for us little snook, we'll be looking for you when its our turn to go.
We love you.....Sweet Angels take good care of our dear Holly.

Pauline & John


Holly, 05/87-04/28/01

Holly was a very special little cat. She was always alert, lively, ready to play, eat, get into mischief, have fun and lovey-dovey with us. She had incomparable spunk and sportiness. Even in illness, even before dying she showed these characteristics by finding ways to adapt around her growing lameness. She still tried to be sporty and game for anything.

Even on her last day, she still tried so very hard, but simply couldn't do it anymore. She chirped to each of us in her signature lovely voice, saying goodbye. We agreed it was time for her to go to the great mousing fields in the feline sky. Rest in peace, our sweet little darling. We will always love and remember you. Olya and George


Holly, 12/27/00

My dearest Holly,

You came to me as a special friend to help me through my grief of losing my Sammi. You were my first rescue dog. I loved you dearly as soon as you were brought to my door. I didn't know that your time with me would be so short, but I cherished every moment that I had with you. You were older than we originally thought, but I hoped for a miracle that would make you live forever. After sister Suzi died in September, you were there for me to help me through those horrible days. So soon after she died, I noticed a large lump in your mammary gland. We tried to take it out, but you didn't like the anesthesia. We were so optimistic, thinking it wasn't going to get you down. When we discovered the tumor on your heart, we knew your time was short, but didn't know it was that short! I took you in to see the doctor only 10 days before you left us and things looked really good. All of a sudden, that horrible tumor grew and you were growing weaker. Then my dear friend Jody died suddenly (Aunt Jody to you). Christmas weekend you had your last "Hoorah." You couldn't even walk on the day of Jody's memorial and I knew I had to let you go. It was truly one of the blackest days of my life. You were Jody's favorite and I know you just wanted to comfort her, so you picked that day to leave. I will always love you, my dear Holly. I am so grateful that you were in my life. Please have fun at the Bridge with Suzi & Sammi and watch over Jody for us. Someday, we will all meet again.

Love,
Mom
(Geri Chaney)


Hollywood

I can remember playing with Hollywood when I was 3 years old. He was the first dog I ever knew. He wasn't my dog he belonged to my uncle. But I visited him as much as I could. After a while he was left with my aunt. He went for a normal trip to the vet's office. But this time was different from the other times, normally he would get a clean bill of health. But this time he found a tumor. He had surgery and everything seemed to be going fine. But one day he lost the battle with cancer. We had a funeral for him in my aunt's backyard. I love and miss Hollywood every day but I know that someday we will be reunited across the rainbow bridge.

Homer, 09/10/90-03/24/00

On the 24th of March 2000. I lost one of my very best friends his name was HOMER. He was a absolute incredible family member I was so lucky to have him as my friend and companion. Myself and my other best friend EINSTIEN - White German Shepherd miss HOMER tremendously.

HOMER was a beautiful white Pit Bull with brown ears and a brown patch over one eye, his fur felt like silk. He was lively, friendly he loved other dogs and people. Everyone who was fortunate enough to meet HOMER, knows what a fun dog he was. He had the cutest personality and everyone loved to play with him.

I helped my friend HOMER pass over to the Rainbow Bridge that sad sad morning of March 24, 2000. I held him and talked to him and laid down beside him and wept for such a long long time. My HOMER boy had Hemangiosarcoma, this is a silent killer of large breed dogs and is very hard to detect. Once detected it is usually to late, and time with your friend is limited. It's been almost a year and I still say hello to HOMER every morning and I still weep for him. I wrote a poem for HOMER, and would like to share it with you.

LITTLE DID I KNOW

When I first saw you, little did I know.
How my love for you would grow.
You were my true and honest friend, you loved me for me and nothing else.
Your love was so unconditional and true.
Little did I know.

You met me every day with a wag of your tail, and a smile on your face.
You showered me with kisses daily.
I took them gladly and gave them back.
You walked beside me each and every day.
Little did I know.

You knew my every mood, and did your best to make me feel better.
Your love was so innocent and true.
If you were bad and I scolded you, you would pout for awhile.
Then you would ever so slightly brush against me, and wait for a sign that it was okay.
Little did I know.

I was so proud of you, and looked forward to each day we had together.
You loved the sunshine, and even the snow.
You were such a comfort to me.
I loved you so much, and always will.
Little did I know.

I go for walks and you're not there.
But, in my heart I sense your presence.
I know that you're walking beside me in spirit and soul.
I cherish the time we had together.
Little did I know.

You're resting now, and healthy again.
I miss you so much.
I will always remember you, and your faithful love for me.
I will smile each time I say your name, and think of you.
Little did I know.

Little did I know.
How hard it would be to let you go.

Honey

Honey was my pet when I was a little girl, I grew up with her for a few years but she was taken from me when she was hit by a car right in front of my family and me one night. It wasn't the driver's fault, Honey ran across the road when she saw us. I was about 6 years old at the time and it affected me deeply- so much that I hardened my heart against all animals and refused to have a special pet again... until I was adopted by a young tabby cat who turned up in my yard 10 years ago. I named him CC and he has been a wonderful pet for me and my family. My boys have been growing up with him and adore him as he does them. I hope that when CC's time finally comes that the Rainbow Bridge will give my boys the hope to continue loving and caring for pets and not miss out the way I did because of my pain.


Honey, 10/29/01

Our beloved Honey was never considered just a pet to us. She was always one of our family and we thought of her as our own child. She was involved in every aspect of our lives and we adored her. Honey was the sweetest, gentlest soul we ever knew and her sole purpose in life was to be with us and make us happy. All of our family and friends loved her, too. Everyone who met her loved her. We will cherish all of our precious memories of her and never, ever forget the joy she brought to our lives.

Honey, 09/15/01

Honey was my life. I can't see how I am suppose to go on w/ out her. She was everything to me. I still can not believe she is gone. I miss her more and more everyday. I saved her from an abusive owner when she was 4 years old. She got ill and we did all we could for her. Never did find out exactly what was wrong with her. She just kept getting worse. One night she even started to have seizures. Something she had never had. By the next morning she was just looking as if she was suffering. She couldn't stand, hardly sit, no energy, and could hardly breath. She no longer wanted to eat or drink. I had to have her put to sleep. God it killed me. Still does.
She was my shadow, she was my child. My heart hurts, I feel empty.
Honey you loved me far more than any human is worthy of and for that I thank you. I miss you, I love you.

Honey, 08/19/88-12/16/99

Honey, You've been gone a year and a half now but never forgotten. You were the product of an unplanned parenthood but I couldn't have gotten a better companion or watchdog if I had planned it. From the first time I saw you in that wicker laundrybasket with all your litter mates I knew you were mine. I picked you up and you just nuzzled my neck and sighed and I was in love. You were only a month old then and I remember marking your little tummy with a black permanent marker so everyone would know you were spoken for. The next 11 1/2 years we were always together. When I found out about the cancer I was devastated...when the medication was no longer keeping away the pain I made the decision to have you put down. After all you had given me I couldn't stand to see you in pain...but it hurt so much. I think of you often and remember all the good times we shared.

Honey, away from your cage, you were such a wonderful bird. With your duck and chicken imitations, you always made everyone laugh. Although we tried, there wasn't anything we could do to make you better. We miss you and will never forget you.

Honey Bear, 08/06/01

To my Honey Bear-you will live on in my heart. Thank you for being part of this family for 8 years. You were truly our friend and therapist. You knew with silent understanding when I needed cheering up and there is no better therapist than a dog licking your face or feet! I am sorry that I was not there when you lost your battle with diabetes which we had fought for one and a half years. I had no idea that you were in liver and kidney failure that last week. I take comfort knowing that I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge and together we will cross into Heaven never again to be separated.
Goodbye my dear companion and friend.

Honey-Bird, 11/09/01 Camera Icon

Honey passed away today,
in her own gentle loving way.
Ten years ago she came,
and loved us unconditionally with a flame,
that never wavered and never died,
until the day that we cried and cried and cried.
May the good Lord who took her away,
pet her and hold her until the day,
when we arrive to tell her that we never forgot,
the love she gave and the lessons she taught.

We'll be with you soon, Honey!
Travis and Pearl send their love.

Love,

Mom and Dad


Honey Bun, 06/30/01

On May 17, 1997, my Mother passed away. Her beautiful Yellow Lab, "Honey Bun" came to live with me. My precious "Bun" had many health problems, but because of her great courage, and the grace of God, she continued on. Two months ago, I began to notice a difference in her. I could tell she was declining. A number of times during the last several months, she would be sound asleep on one of her many beds, and all of a sudden, she would sit straight up, get such a happy look on her face, and her tail would wag and go in circles wildly. After a minute or so, she would lay down and go back to sleep. I knew that my Mother was here to see her. Three weeks ago, her condition became much worse. I took her to the Vet every 2-3 days. They are wonderful Doctors, and did everything they possibly could for her. On Sunday, June 24, I was mowing grass, and came around the back of the house with the mower. I glanced up at the deck, and my Mother was sitting in one of the chairs, looking out over the woods. I knew she had come for her "Bun." Last Saturday, June 30, after fighting valiantly and courageously, my beautiful "Honey Bun" went home to be with my Mother. She could no longer walk, and refused all food. The Doctors told me they 'might' be able to buy her time until Monday or Tuesday. Because I loved her so, and I knew my Mother was waiting for her across the Rainbow Bridge, I let her go. My heart is broken. I loved her so much. I know she is with my Mother, and I know that when the day comes that I walk across the Rainbow Bridge, my "Bun" and my Mother will be there waiting for me.

All Creation Groans

So long for now, my Honeybunny
I know you had to go
We lived together for just two months
But illness brought you low
It hurts right now to think of you
In all your bunny charm
But keeping you here even one more day
Would do no good-just harm
Let me think of you now, hard as it is
Stretched out in a corner of the room
Silly Girl, don't be scared, can't you just let me groom?
Your lovely fur, here brown, there white
I love to stroke and touch
But most of all those floppy ears
Oh Honeybunny, I MISS YOU SO MUCH!
Some day soon, I promise Bunny
I'll grow weary, too.
And when I lay these bones to rest
I'll come to stay with you.
Until that time, when we play once more
In your green green grassy home,
The wages of sin is death, I know
And all creation groans.

Thank you all for indulging me in my sorrow.

Love
Elisa

Hooch, 03/28/01 Camera Icon

He passed away in my arms, he was a great dog. Putting him down was very hard for me, but after everything I knew it helped him. If you are a pet owner remember not to take for granted the time you have with your friend. I never thought he would go away, but he had to in the end. I wasn't ready for it.....So please pass this along to any animal owner or friend, Id like to see my dog and his life remembered by lots of people. Even if you just think about him for 1 minute or say a quick prayer for him, it will make me and him very happy.

Sincerely,
Paul Harrison

Hospi, 11/28/01

You walked into my life a abandoned cat with bloody ears and you instantly changed my life. I loved and cared for you for 5 years. I will always remember your gentleness and devotion you gave to me. I miss you terribly and I'm very sad. After all the sadness and pain - I'm so glad you came into my life. I love you, and will see you later. Donnie


Hot Dog (a.k.a. Noonie), 8/86-11/10/00

It was more difficult than words can say for us to make the decision that we had to make about your life. You were once energetic, vibrant and full of life, but as time went on, you became lethargic and listless, and we knew we had to say goodbye to you. We hope you realize that the decision we made was one that we felt brought your life to a peaceful close. We arranged things so that you would not have any pain nor suffering. And we wanted to remember you the way you were, not the way you would have become had we not made the decision when we did. And now that you are gone, we miss you more than you will ever know. But we hope that you are in a better place, that you have found peace and that you are looking down upon us. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. May you rest in peace and may you know in your heart that you will never ever be forgotten by us. We love you, Hot Dog.Love Always and Forever,Mom, Dad, Laura & Boise


Hot Rod, 04/26/89-10/22/01

Mr. Rod,

Twelve years ago when I said I wanted an orange and white kitty, God was listening and sent you to me. I will never forget your "airplane ears" when you would let out one of your squeeky little meows, or how you would scowl at Dad when he played with your tail. Night time is the hardest for both me and Dad, as you were our little bed buddy. I know you are at the bridge with Prinny and we will see you both again someday.

We love you and miss you Hot Rod,

Kevin and Terri Bauer-Rizzo

Houston, 03/12/01

Dear Houston, I'm so sorry for yelling at you for tearing holes in my socks, or eating the heads off my barbies. I know now that you just wanted someone to pay attention to you and to play. You were, are, and always will be a very special dog. You were my first dog, and I want you to know that I will never have the kind of friendship we had with another pet as long as I live. I'm very sorry for not realizing how much pain you were in, I hope that you are now at peace wherever you are. I love you very much and I will never, ever forget you.

Hugo Windhund, 11/88-11/20/99

You were the biggest kitten, even if you were a greyhound. The way you rolled your eyes, and disappeared when you were naughty, only to reappear as a "different" dog, the way you loved hot peppers and shrimp, and always stole our food off the plate -- we still miss it! Hope you catch the rabbit!

Erik & Lonne Martinec and Travis Frey


Hummels Duke, 07/12/97-05/02/01 Camera Icon

To the sweetest "Giant" I ever knew. We brought you home from the awful cage in the pet store to spend your life with your best friend Kody. When she passed on, we didn't know if you would survive alone. So we got you Kasey to spend your days with. We got you a new home with a giant Walnut tree and your own pool to spend those warm days in. Eventually we brought to you Toby, with whom you made the most beautiful puppies. You helped Toby deliver that first little baby, and told us she needed our help. You were patient as she and the puppies got all the attention, and your house. You left us with the beautiful babies, to make it through the grief we feel everytime we look out and you're not there, with your tail held high. I will never forget that last night we spent, petting and loving you and praying for you to come back to me. We love you and will miss you forever, and hope that you have reunited with your pal Kody on the rainbow bridge. We will be there someday to see you once again. And we will remember you in the eyes of your son Mack, each and every day. To my best friend Duke, I can never replace the hole you left in my heart. And I will weep for you every time I see our picture. I will see you again Big Guy - Love Kelly

Hungry Joe, 04/01/89-10/11/01

Hungry Joe showed up one day, he just came in through the cat door in the kitchen and stayed for the next thirteen ears. He was a great mouser. He was an outdoor cat that came in to eat and sleep on my bed during the day. I loved the way he always would greet me when I came home from work, tail up and then a roll over onto his back. He was a big cat, long and very strong. When he played with me he would play hard. Hungry was hit by a car on the morning of 10-11-01. When I found his body on the side of the road he gave one last purr as I picked him up. Hungry said goodbye to me, and as I write this the tears well up in my eyes. God bless you Hungry Joe. I will miss you. Love Bob Goga


Hunny, 05/14/98-10/18/01

Hunny was the baby of our Shih Tzu named Snoop. She was a very special and loving little dog. She made us laugh and brought such joy to our lives. She left us tragically by being hit by a car. Her quirky personality and unconditional love for us is so terribly missed. She will always hold a special place in our hearts. I look forward to that reuniting at the Rainbow Bridge.

Sandy Hunter


Hunny, 08/29/88-08/00

To my three best friends- Kaissa, Hunny and Ivan. Now you are all together again- the mom dog and her twinnies. It was hard to let each of you go but I knew you were trusting me to know when you were too tired. I hope you will smother me with kisses when I meet you again.

Hunter, may your spirit be at peace and run happy and free. You never need to fear human contact again. No one ever taught you how to love, but you were a good boy to me for the short time I knew you. I wish you could have stayed, but be happy being met by all the furbabies I've asked to meet you at the bridge. Especially Lydia. She will be your guide until we all arrive.
Much love, Hunter,
Kathy


Hunter, 11/17/99-07/02/01

Hunter was only in our house for a very short time but he quickly became part of the family. He was taken away from us quickly due to complications of the disease FIP. He will be missed terribly but will remain in our hearts forever.

My only Only only love in my whole entire life!

With lots of memories, your loving owner (Andrew).
