Cacey thru Czarny,


Cacey, 03/26/04

Cacey, you were my best friend. You were always there for me when no one else was- I always looked forward to you being so excited to see me-I was just as excited to see you everyday. I had you in my life for 8 yrs. You were taken from me in such a tragic way. I let you down, I wasn't there to protect my girl. When you died, part of me died with you. I'm grateful that I was able to spend the last few minutes with you. You knew your mommy was there with you. Cacey, I pray that someday we will be reunited. Everyone in the family misses you terribly. You were the best baby girl anyone could ever have and nothing could ever replace you. I love you always.

Love,

Your Mommy


Cadbury, 03/14/93-03/24/04

Your candle burned at both ends...it could not last the night.
But oh my foes and oh my friends...it gave a lovely light.

Bree and Susan Thompson


Caddis Mayfly, 08/06/03

My beloved friend passed away in my arms in front of his front door window. He was a gentle soul and I will miss him until we are together again.

Michael Norris


Cadie, 11/13/91-03/15/04

Cadie was so special-she had such a sense of humor, I often called her "Clown Central" because of the ways she made us laugh. She is the only cat I have ever seen who would sit on command; she played softball with me (batting lefty-a real southpaw)-I'd toss and she would hit back to me and never miss unless I made a bad throw. She survived 7 years after a fibrosarcoma was removed from her front leg, a true fighter (also the only kitten to survive her litter). A primary lung tumor that spread to a leg was too much for her to overcome, though. At age 12, way too soon, and out of the blue, we had to say goodbye to her. Her life partner, Cappy is lost without her, as are we. Cadie-pie, Mommy, Daddy and Cappy miss you so very much...

Cagney, 02/14/91-04/22/04

Cagney, 02/15/04

Cagney was my baby. I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. What a great Girl. My forever friend.

Renee Williams


Cagney, 01/19/04

Cagney, I'm sorry.
I should have went out with you and the pups.
I didn't know a coyote was there.
there was never a coyote there before.
Cagney, I'm so sorry.

Bill Whitaker


Cagney (Toonie), 06/92-01/12/04

My Dear Toonie, How sweet you were! My bed will surely be empty at night without hearing your loud purr and feeling your warm soft fur snuggled in, or being awakened by you climbing on my pillow. You were a real trooper to the end, wanting to do it your way. Now you're with your "brothers", playing like you always did. I know how you've missed them. We will miss you so much. There will never be another Toona Moon.

Love, your family, Mike, Fran, Jared, Chessie, Diamond and Princess.


Cagney, 01/15/88-12/20/03

Cagney was my gift from God that I will always be grateful for.
I miss you terribly sweet boy.

Caileag, 03/29/99-03/02/04

Caileag was my best and she was trained in search and recovery. She taken from me by the most heartless of ways, someone placed some poison in our yard. She was my best friend and we traveled thousands of miles together, she was able to see elk in the Rocky mountains and the pacific ocean in her short life. She loved to play in the snow with a frisbee or ball. I miss her more than words can say. I love you, Caileag.

Bill Tait


Cairo, 05/01/96-03/17/04

She was a wonderful companion and a true friend. She will be missed dearly.

Wendy Eckstrom


Cajun, 07/19/04

Cajun,
From the first time you walked around the corner, you were in our hearts and were our little boy.
You gave us your love without conditions and always seemed to be there when you were needed most.
You let us bring the other cats home and even took care of them.
That's how big your heart is.
We miss you so much right now that we can't even put it in words.
Just one more purr, one more hug, one more touch of your paw.

We know you are in peace now.
No more worrying about the other cats, or where you are going to sleep, or how to get that pressure off your chest.
The other cats around you just want to play, there are all kinds of places to sleep, with and without sun and that pressure on your chest is all gone now.
You have all the breath you need now to run and play and we would love to see you running again.
I hope you are not too sad at having to leave us.
Enjoy your time at the Rainbow bridge until we come, and see you come around the corner again.

You will be sorely missed.

Love Mommy, Daddy and all your brothers and sisters.


Caleb, 03/03/04

A cat that thought he was a dog - Caleb will be so missed. He was such a part of our family. Caleb was loved and adored by family and by his dog brother and sister. He came when you called him. He loved dog treats and he sat when you told him to sit. He was truly one of a kind.

Deborah, Richard, Jesse and Chris


Caledonia, 10/31/92-06/04/04

We miss you so much.
Thank you for being our faithful friend.

Tim, Cathy, Kaitlyn & Kristina


Cali, 02/14/04

Cali-I love you with all of my heart. I'll miss covering you with blankets, rubbing your fat belly, and watching you sleep in my baskets. I hope you are in a good place and that I get to see you again one day!

Nicole


Cali Bear, 04/02/04

Cali Bear was my heart and my joy.
She was there when we could not have our own child, she was my child, even after we were blessed with Joshua, Cali Bear was still my little girl! She was always there to comfort me and was always near wherever I was. We had a bond that I have never shared with a so we are blessed to have had her in our lives. Her beautiful face and constant kisses will remain in my mind and heart forever!
I love you my angel. Rest in Peace!

Tracey


Calico Lee, 03/23/88-05/03/04

My baby, my daughter, my best friend, my soul...

I would have given my life to save yours...and would now to bring you back.
I always knew your leaving would break my heart.
If I could just know for sure that you are ok now...you've never been without me before.
Please baby cat, wait for me.
I will never ever stop loving you.
Please forgive me if your last days were worse for my trying to keep you with me.
Nibble on your grass, and eat crablegs every day.
And wait for me...

Jan Chilton


Callaugh Bussanich, 12/20/02-06/03/04

You died suddenly and tragically. But I was right there with you. I cried for you to stay with me while we rushed to the vet's. There was so much blood everywhere I knew you had to go. But I cried for you to stay and you tried so hard. You looked up at me as you lay on my chest dying, and your tail wagged furiously for me and then it stopped because you just couldn't stay any longer. Your sister-dogs and I will be out at the lake and you'll be walking with us, in between your swims. You are such a precious water baby, and I died with you yesterday. I love you so very much, babes. I know you're still with me.

Trish McKeen


Calley Pepitone, 08/01/93-08/13/04

Loyal and Loving. I will miss you my lovely gentle friend. Your waiting for me when I come home. Laying with me in bed until I fall asleep and then leaving only to get on the bed 5 min. before I awake. The gentle taps you gave to let me know you were there were all so cute and heart warming. I love you and always will.

Mommy (Patricia Pepitone)


Calli, 12/88-02/18/04

Calli - you gave us so much joy over the 16 years of your life.
You were a sweet boy who purred all the way until the end!! We love you so much and will miss you always.

Wendy Chadwick


Calli, 04/27/00-03/25/04

My Angel Love, you will always be in my heart as my little girl. You are my pudder, sweetie pie, and most of all my angel. I will always be your mommy and will miss you for the rest of my live. Until we meet again, Calli. Love, your mommy.


Callie, 08/14/04

My Gal Calli,,,good girl,,miss cal,,,miss ya and love ya-dad

Steve


Callie, 08/93-01/12/04

My Callie was my purr baby. She loved music and we would dance together. I would hold her left paw and we would dance cheek to cheek. She was my automatic alarm clock. She would lightly touch my face with her paw telling me it was morning. Her purr was music to my heart. I miss her terribly. I love you Callie.

Linda Boyd


Callie, 09/02/97-01/10/04

My dearest Callie, You were the funniest and most loving Rottie to ever grace my home. I still can't believe you are gone. You are missed desperately by all of us. We hope that now you are at peace and free from pain. So go and run and play and let your ears flop in the breeze! Know that we think of you always. With all the love my heart can hold, Debbie, Ted and Maggie


Calvin, 05/19/04

We are so heartbroken not having you with us any longer.
We'll miss so many things about you...your gentle nature, your soft purrs and your funny quirks.

We'll always hold a special place for you in our hearts.
Until we meet again, dear friend.

Tania and Tom Olinger


Calvin, 12/95-03/24/04

Calvin was the runt of the litter. I wanted him because no one else was taking him. He was as much my parents as he was mine. He was a typical kitten, but he was not your typical cat...actually he was a little backwards and that's why I loved him so much.

The vet thought he had fatty liver disease and we began treatment and force feeding him. It turned out to be cancer and there was nothing we could do. The kindest thing for Calvin was to put him down and that's what I did.

Angel Dibenedetto


Calvin, 05/14/88-03/29/04

The sweetest, most loving little thing that ever came into our lives.

Pat Mott


Calvin, 03/12/04

He helped raise our kids and was a companion that we will miss greatly, he was loved by all who knew him and loved us back

Darrell Debbie Sonya and Justin


Calvin, 02/02/04

My Calvin passed over the bridge this morning. She was the sweetest little love. I did not have her very long but she was my heart...my soul. As I write this my heart is breaking.
To let her go was so hard...but I could not see her suffer.
Fly high my Calvin.
I am sure there will be plenty of peppers in heaven for one as beautiful as you.
It is so empty now.
I am sorry my baby I could not fix you...forgive me.

Jo An


Calvin, 12/29/03

We'll miss your incessant meowing and quirky little habits Calvin. You drove us crazy sometimes but you were loved very much. Whenever I see a laundry basket full of clean clothes, I will think of you curled up asleep on top of it. Rest in peace, my friend. I love you.

Nancy Steed


Camelot, 05/12/82-03/14/04

For the nose that nuzzled my hand, The head that pushed me playfully, The legs that carried me hundreds of miles, The eyes that said, "I love you," And the heart that beat for me... I love you, Camelot. You are running with the wind now... No fences to hold you back... Just green open pastures. Wait for me, my sweet Camelot... Until the day we meet again... And cross the bridge together... I love you, Camelot.

Judy


Campbell, 01/21/04

My dearest Campbell, we will all miss you so much.
The boys' bed will be so empty without you, the house so quiet without your purring.
Leroy misses you, and Bob is still waiting for you to come home.
Goodbye my sweet, sweet boy.
Love and Kisses
Heidi, Martin, Ellis, Jacques, Leroy, Bob and Scrappy


Candie, 11/26/93-01/20/04

I remember when I brought you home. You were so tiny that you fit in my hands. We had some wonderful years, especially before Amber left us. Then your health started going downhill. I did everything I could to help you. But most of all, I loved you. It hurt me so much to see you suffering. You always gave me unconditional love. I know you're with Amber now. And I look forward to that day when both of you meet me at the Rainbow Bridge. Until then, I will miss you very much.

Nancy Brown


Candie Cane, 11/26/93-01/20/04

My Sweet Little Candie!
It was with incredible sorrow I helped you cross over the Rainbow Bridge. It was so hard to let you go, but you suffered so much, it was time for you to rest and enjoy another kind of life with all the animals you are getting to know right at this moment. I hope you have met Amber and the two of you become great friends.
We will always remember you & the love you gave so willingly. One of these days, we will meet again & I will thrill to see you running to meet me, and we will enjoy eternity together...Then, one day we will both run to meet one who loves you with all her heart, your mistress & my daughter, Nancy. Until then, enjoy yourself doing all those things you couldn't do for such a long time.
We loved you so much.
June and Nancy


Candy, 05/28/04

A little cat with a big presence, an indomitable spirit and an incredible zest for life.

Candy, 05/19/04

My orphaned angel and I discovered one another 13 and a half
years ago at the Richmond, VA SPCA.
She rescued me from
grief over a previous dog Dolly.
Candy was a wonderful,
sweet dog and friend and would have been 14 next month.
I love and miss her terribly.

Spencer Bullington


Candy, 04/11/92-01/15/04

Baby girl you brought me through many hard times. I hope you know we only did what we thought was right as you were so very sick. We just couldn't bare to see you suffer any longer. We will never forget you, you are always and forever in our hearts. Love you so much. Mommy


Candy, 12/26/03

You were my little girl

Rose Barton


Candy, Amy, Jessy, 01/05/00

I will never stop my tears for my beloved girls. Murdered while I was not there. They were my protectors for years, so where was I, when, to protect, became mine to re-pay.

My little "bunny girl"

Annette Mommer


Caramel Angelica, 03/04/04

You tugged gently at my heartstrings when I saw you at the SPCA. They told me you had been there the longest. You coat was golden, the color of butterscotch and your eyes were keen. I knew I would be yours. Over three short years you came to trust me. I never knew the source of your nightmares or ghosts, but I knew I was here to love and protect you and hoped that one day I would earn your purr of security. It took a year but finally you let go and trusted me. Caramel I loved you, every part of you. The illness came suddenly - all of a sudden your hind legs no longer functioned. You looked so scared but you trusted me to make the right decision. The vet said there was nothing that could be done, so I held you and told you I loved you and was grateful to have been your human. Then you went to sleep. I will never forget you. I pray you are in a place where all fear is gone and peace envelops you. Until we meet again...

Ellen


Caramella, 05/01/96-03/05/04

Thank you, Caramella, for the brief time you allowed me to be your earthly guardian. I pray we are reunited again someday.

Care Bear (Carey), 05/11/86-04/24/01

Ode to Carey


My sweet flutterhead
My sniffer, nose always to the ground.
Sound asleep, your nose awakens you.
Mommy’s eating! What is it?
I want some!!
Oh look, there’s the trash
I’m going to do everything I can to get in it
I want to know if there’s food,,
,Or maybe some tissue I can eat!
Carey, I miss your big brown eyes
,Your nose that never failed you
I miss tripping over you when I’m cooking
Maggie misses you too!
I miss you following me all
,Over the house.
Lying by the front door, patiently
,Waiting for me to come in,
Never knowing that I went out the back door!
Moving from room to room
,To be near me.
I miss you, my sweet flutterhead!
Your loving mommy


Carl, 04/26/99

Good dog Carl is gone but never forgotten. I miss you each and every day. you were the very best friend a guy could have. I know we will be together someday.

Russell


Carla Angel Barnoski-Radle, 03/20/04

Carla was with us briefly from Fall 2002 until her death. She was a rescue that we knew little about, only that she was one of many Pomeranians rescued from a house in West Virginia. When we got her, she had bad teeth and was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. We medicated her every day. Towards the end, we found out she had cancer too. She will be very much missed.

Katherine and Will


Carly, 12/04/91-04/08/04

My Carlygirl gave me so much joy. It was the best 11 years of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. She had surgery this past Monday for an intestinal tumor and the pathology came back as lymphoma. I don't regret the surgery, because it was the only chance she had. I know I did the right thing, it just hurts so much. I feel lost and I'm not sure what to do with myself. I had one day with her at home to try to give her a chance to perk up, which she did not. So I let her go. She'll always be in my heart. I want to thank her (again) for all the great memories and times we had. They were all good.

Trudi


Carly, 05/21/91-01/24/04

Carly I am missing you every day. I love you and I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge.
Your spirit lives on in my heart .

Carrie Massey


Carmen, 03/19/85-04/96

Carmen, there are many days that I wish you were here with me. I have a great vet now who may have helped you. Your job now is to look after Piper, the black lab I got in 1997. She died of cancer in 2002. I told Piper to go find you. I love you both.

Mommy J


Carney Little Bear, 01/01/91-02/07/04

My beautiful Carney Little Bear, words do not convey the emptiness in my world now that you have passed on to the next. All I can do is be strong and try to do the best I can every day. The only thing helping me to do this is knowing we will be together again - for all eternity. I love you -- thank you for always watching over me and protecting me. You are so special and are so loved. You were my angel on earth and now my angel forevermore.

Catherine Lewis Olson


Carolina Cali, 12/10/03-01/21/04

My sweet Carolina, I miss you greatly. Even though you were only with me for a few days here on Earth, you will always be in my heart. You fought as hard as you could for me, but you were just too tiny. The disease was too much for you little body to bear. When you let out you last sigh in my arms only minutes from the vets office my heart dropped. We tried to resuscitate you, but we couldn't. I was looking forward to spending several years with you, but I have decided God placed you in my life so you could live out your last days on earth in a warm loving home, instead of dying in the cold Animal Shelter all alone, and frightened. I love you my sweet angel and I'm looking forward to seeing you at Rainbow Bridge. Schatzie misses you to, she was looking forward to having another puppy to play with. I love and miss you greatly my precious Carolina!

Stormy Diana Ranew


Caroline Briles, 12/25/95-06/02/04

Caroline was my Valentine gift 9 years ago. She was perfectly spotted and a princess! She loved her older "brother" Sparky dearly, and loved to groom him. She was a faithful companion, walking every day, going on car rides, always on the go. She brought much joy to so many children (of all ages!) as she looked so much like Perdita of 101 Dalmations. Everyone wanted to pet her and children dressed up as her for Halloween. She never knew a stranger, she will be forever loved and missed by her parents, sisters and dog brothers.

Pam


Carrie, 05/23/81-05/19/01

Darling Carrie, I still miss you and think of you always. You are now with Cassie and I will hold you both in my heart always. Only ever a thought away. All my love always. Give Cassie a kiss for me.

Debbie Lazar


Casey, 10/12/92-04/16/04

Casey was the most wonderful dog.
She was as curious as a cat and with such a sweet and loving personality.
Very enthusiastic about cookies and walks but amazingly patient with her Dad.
I loved her very much and she devoted her whole life to me - I will miss her greatly and look forward to meeting her on the other side.

Allyn Harper


Casey Atkin, 01/22/96-04/27/04

We loved Casey very much. It broke our hearts to say goodbye. We did not have her long enough. We loved her dearly and we are having a hard time without her. We understand that she is at home and the angels are giving her treats. She is no longer in pain and that helps us deal.

Charlie and Allison

Joanne & Joel Loane


Casper, 05/23/04

Casper you came into our lives as mysteriously as you left. You had it all - love, companionship, another cat, food toys and more. Who knew you would pass away so fast from a rare blood disease. Were you my angle kitty from the beginning? We all miss you so much. My heart is broken. One day we will be together again. I only wish God had given us more time together. I will light a candle for you. Love MOM


Casper, 04/24/04

Casper was a very special cat. Paige was the one who found the cat...He was a very special one. He was my little baby and angel! *crys* He was my first SPECIAL pet to die...-from Paige


Casper, 12/01/98-12/24/03

I hope that Casper is not suffering anymore and that he is happy and playing with the other furbabies that everyone on this site has lost, I do miss him lots and I hope that you will always be happy and remember me and my Casper in the ceremony on Monday, I love you all very much and you all have been very good supporters for me when I needed a friend, I hope that everyone has a good day or night and I will chat with you soon...Thanks alot everyone.

Nikki


Casper, 12/24/02

Casper was a very loving, sweet dog, he didn't hurt anyone..he wouldn't even hurt a fly honestly, he loved beer and spaghetti

Nikki


Casper, 10/31/88-02/13/04

Dear Casper:

We cannot believe you are gone. The house is so empty without you! Remember when I would get upset tripping over your bowls in the middle of the kitchen, now I'm upset because they are no longer there. I hope you are OK at Rainbow Bridge and that Bandit is with you. We knew your condition was getting worse, but couldn't give you the proper burial because of the weather. On Friday, everything worked out for the best and you passed away on the way to the vet in your dad's arms. You are now at peace and you were laid to rest next to Bandit, Nickie & Nicole. I'm only sorry you suffered. Remember all the times we argued and you always won! I even forgive you for the several times you gave me cat scratch fever, because you didn't get your way!! Thank you for a fun 15 years. You will always be our little Casper - The Friendliest Kitty Ghost We Know!

We love you,

Don & Deb


Casper, 10/31/88-02/13/04

Thank you Casper for a fun 15 years! We will miss you, but are happy that you are in a better place with Bandit. Our home is so lonely without you, but we are at peace knowing that you are no longer suffering. Take care little buddy!

Don & Deb Friedrichsen

We loved you so much, and our love for you is still in our hearts.
We hope you are now rid of the aches and pains of old age, and are running free and happy.

Casper's Eternal Treasure aka Sasha, 02/17/94-04/28/04

She was my first show dog, first working titled Samoyed and my Skijoring buddy and devoted companion until the end.
She filled my life with great joy but I couldn't let her suffer any longer.
Run free with the wind...Sasha.

Cassidy Lee, 08/27/97-03/23/03

My beloved Cassidy Lee is gone now and although it has been almost a year since he has been gone I have found it so hard to go very far without thinking of him wishing he were here with me. However it seems to be getting easier with each passing day and his picture is beside my bed and he always knows that I love him dearly.

Cassie, 1992-11/2003

Cassie, you were not only my close friend, but a sister to dear Cody. You were always there for both of us to rely on. You were the one who could always get Cody to eat, and played with him while I was at work. I loved the way you would wait for Cody to lay down for sleep and then cozy up to him like the mother you were meant to be. You were old and tired, but still managed to comfort me whenever I needed a little extra love. I miss you Cassie. I don't know where or why you decided to leave me after so many years. I've been told it was to spare me the pain of seeing you die. I pray that someday when I come home, that you and Cody will be there waiting for me, because I miss you both so very much. God be with you.

Jennifer Spielvogel


Cassie, 01/15/00

Gentle cassie, so beautiful. Went her own way, did her own thing, but did it so gently. A treasure. Old age came, no illness, but we had to make the decision to let you sleep and it was awful sweetheart but you were so tired. I held you in my arms and my heart broke.

Helen Townend


Cassie, 11/15/94-02/29/04

Cassie, I miss your doggie scent of soft silky fur mixed with baby blankets. I hope your suffering is over and you are swimming and playing in the warm lake.

You were so pure of heart, soul and spirit and I'll miss you and love you always. We will be with you soon and then the fun will really begin!

Debbie Paterson


Cassie, 10/09/87-02/17/04

What can I say, but that this was a wonderful, funny, sweet, and gorgeous little friend? I am grateful for the years I was with her, grateful that she had a long life and that, when it had to come, the end was swift and merciful and that I could be holding her. I look forward to meeting my Cassie and all my family who have gone before, someday, when it is time for me to go to Rainbow Bridge. I love you always, Cassie.

Lisa Williams

Cassie, 04/07/88-04/01/04

Just a small note to remember my beautiful little dog Cassie, who I did not want to go, but she had a stroke. I will always remember her she will be in my heart until the day I die I had her for 15 wonderful years and I'm not sure that I can cope without her.

Mrs S Susan Bowyer


Cassie, 05/23/96-12/29/03

Dear Cassie. You gave me such comfort and unconditional love during the seven short years you spend here on earth. I pray that I returned even a portion of that comfort in your final hours. You were taken so quickly from us, and much too soon. I still can't believe I will never see you again and will never find comfort in cuddling with you. I'm so sorry we didn't notice your health was deteriorating sooner. Perhaps we could have done something to save you. But you hid if all too well. You lived to please us and please us you did. Even in the end when we wrestled with when to put you down if it came to that. You spared us that decision by going on your own. I hope you didn't suffer, and I hope you didn't think we abandoned you in your final hours. We really thought you would pull through. We were just minutes from visiting you at the hospital when the call came to us that you had passed. I pray you will be there waiting for me near the Rainbow Bridge. Until then, enjoy playing with Buck and Gunner, your old pals who passed before you. We will be there to meet you again soon. Run, play, and hunt-it-up, Mama Cass.


Cassie Jameson, 06/30/89-08/26/04

Our dear little baby.
You were such a pretty girl who filled each day with love and companionship.
We loved you so very much and you will be in our hearts forever.
We wish that you were still with us but we know that it wasn't fair to make you suffer any longer here on earth.
We know that you are pain-free now, running through the grass in heaven.
We will always love you our Little Cassaroll! No other dog could ever take your place.

A million hugs and kisses,
Mama, Daddy, Jama and Michelle (your human sisters)


Cassie Lang, 17/05/88-28/04/04

In loving memory of Cassie Lang. I had a special dog My dog was very special Of all the treasures that I had I loved her most of all....

….Her name was Cassie x x x Cassie you were always there when I needed you from knee-high until now and though I wasn’t with you I know you had to go. I loved you when you were and love you though I can’t see you. You helped me get through so much I wouldn’t have been here today if it wasn’t for you. I loved your furry touch, your wet pink tongue and big brown eyes that always gave me the answer I needed.

Each night when we go to bed I say goodnight. Every time I walk to where you used to be I say hello, we all loved you so very much but know you had to go, Izi and Lord are missing you but we know you are now playing in the fields at Rainbow Bridge.

We’ll never forget you Cassie, watch over us and we’ll see you again one day, goodnight god bless

Cat, 04/17/04

Cat was a sweet and loving angel. I was pregnant with my son when I got a call from a friend. She asked if I wanted a fixed male cat that was about 2 years old. If I didn't take him they were going to put him down. So I said I would. Since day one cat was a fateful friend. I think he knew that this was his home and that we loved him. I had my son and they were the best of friends from birth. My son would run around the house asking for him kitty. now that he is gone I don't know what to do. There is a space at the end of the bed that still has his fur! His food bowls are still down and the litter box still is there waiting. I guess I just need to say that I love you cat and that my life will never be the same without you. I just wish I could have saved you! I hope I did the right thing by letting you go. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I am sorry I tried. I love you and we all miss you.

Christina


Catarina, 04/01/01-02/07/04

Just this morning, I told you how beautiful you were , sitting upright on Mama's potting bench. Your soft black and gold made a perfect camouflage. I noticed how you had blossomed and how happy you seem lately. It was a cold, windy, but beautiful winter's day .I should have known you would take to the field to hunt. I can't believe you died at the hands of my own dogs who have known you for 3 years. I don't know how it happened. Did you surprise one another in the grass, play too rough, lose in a game of chase? I am as guilty as they for not rushing you to a vet. Having worked on so many who appeared so much worse, I cannot believe I didn't know how badly you were hurt. When I left you to go back to work, I thought you were just exhausted and traumatized. I didn't expect to find you dead, still warm and limp, less than two hours later. You seemed snug and warm, wrapped in my winter coat, in the bathroom. Oh little Catarina, I am so sorry that I did not do more for you, and that I did not spend more time caressing you everyday. You were so glad to catch whatever crumbs of affection I had time to dish out. When I rescued you from a life of abandonment at a service station, I had hoped I could give you a better life. If I did not know that I would see you on the other side of the rainbow, I think I would die tonight of grief and remorse for not having given you the better life that I promised you .You were a very deserving friend.

Cat Gordon, 03/19/00

Cat and me grew up together. From the time I was seven years old to the when I was 21 you were there for me. You was the best thing from my child hood and my best friend. You brought me so much fun and laughter. I will always remember you and love you.

Larisa Carter


Catharine, 3/17/01(?)-02/11/03

Light She Was, and Golden-Eyed

Dearest Catharine, I have tried so many times to write this – and always failed. But now we are approaching a one-year anniversary. It is time.

My friend, my spoiled-rotten darling, my purr-box, my chair-stealer, my mouser, my dog-annoyer. (Ah, you didn’t really annoy the dog that much. She loved playing with you. I did my best to explain, but I don’t think she has ever understood why you won’t come and play with her anymore.)

We are all born with our deaths waiting for us, my Catharine. But you were born with a death that already had a name.

Do you remember your first family, my love? The ones who could not let you stay with them? They had other cats. And, Catharine, you carried not only your own death, you also carried death to any other cat you met.

So unfair. Such a friendly cat.

Do you remember that first day? I was late coming to fetch you. Ten miles into a forty-mile trip, and the brakes quit working.

But I found a tow-truck and a mechanic, and I got there.

You were already there. By yourself, in a cage. You were simply sitting, staring at the ground. There was a big sign on your cage: FELV Positive. DO NOT PET.

I had been having doubts. I was brought up NOT to take on one of those very rare heartbreaks of which I actually had ample warning.

But – DO NOT PET? The doubts ended. I signed the contract right then: Let the heartbreak come! Before it does, this cat must be petted. She must be given the food she likes. She must have scratching posts and she must have every single kitty-toy ever made. She must have her very own pet dog (okay, there was always disagreement over which of you was whose pet), and if there is anything on television that she finds interesting, I must tape it immediately. If she prefers cardboard boxes to toys, then I will simply not put out the trash as often as I should. If she is gracious enough to catch the mice that sneak into an old house, I will not complain (too much) about putting on the rubber gloves and chasing her all over the house until I can finally get the Rodentous Prize away from her. And she will forgive me for stealing her fresh, new toy because she knows she can always get another one.


I knew immediately what I was supposed to do. I don’t get everything right. But this one -- ? Oh, I got this one more right than I could have known!

Ah, my Catharine. My unexpected and undeserved miracle. My ballet-dancer, my demanding dictator, my little flirt. My cat.

I love you, My Cat. I sign this with one of your nicknames. – cathycat

Catharine. 3/17/01(?) – 2/11/02


Cathryn Isabelle Bush, 05/14/04

Isabelle you were such a wonderful baby. You brought such joy to my life, even when you drove me crazy. You touched so many lives during the fifteen months you were with us. We all love and miss you very much... we will see you soon. Don't forget that you now have a new family in Heaven to watch over and love.

You were my Athena, my strong warrior goddess. You were my buddy, my child and my heart.
I miss you everyday. I feel so far away from you, baby -girl. I know it was time, but it hurts so much. I will love you forever...

Katie McKaig


C.B., 12/18/85-01/14/03

CB I can't believe that you are gone...you have been such a very special part of our lives. You were the perfect example of what a pet should be and we cherished every moment that we spent with you. You lived a really long life, a happy one, and you made each moment of our days brighter! As days went on you lost the will to eat and we could not bare to see you lose any more weight, which led us to the huge decision to let you go as much as it was going to tear us apart. Its only been a few hours since you left us and its not the same, things will never be the same without you. Mom, misses you so much, You were her perfect angel, every mom's dream, and I know how much she will miss your warmth that you gave her each and every night. We know that you are In a better place now, at "The Rainbow Bridge" with all of your friends, and we want you to always remember one thing...You will always be in our hearts and prayers and we will all love you endlessly, until we meet again...

Mommy, Lauren, Jennifer, and Danielle With Love...

Celeste, 04/27/04

A star shinning in a Universe far away, My heart knows that we shall meet again some sweet day. And you, will be the flame that burns in my breast. And oh, I know just by knowing you I was blessed, Yes, I was truly blessed. I pray that Heaven waits for everyone in the end. And love, love is how we cross that bridge to the light. A star, that is what you are in my darkest night. Be always by my side.

The vet at the RSPCA said she was the oldest cat he had treated. Right until the end her eyes were bright emerald green and she was sweet and loving.

Angela and Liz


Cerb, 07/01/89-04/05/04

Cerb was a great dog. She barked at strangers and the mailman with such ferocity, until the day they moved and he actually saw her for the first time, he thought he was dealing with a big strong dog like a doberman. Cerb was only the size of a small boarder collie, and in reality, she wouldn't ever hurt a person, or another dog or cat or anything. She liked chasing flies, though. She liked swimming. Her favourite toy when she was a pup were two litre pop bottles. She'd carry them around in her mouth and chase them when she rolled them across the floor. I miss her very much.

Karen


Cessna, 05/22/01-05/21/04

Cessna, take care of my dad when he gets there, I miss you soooooo very much!! We ALL miss you very much, even Lynx - he's trying very hard to make me feel better. :-)

Chaddles, 03/06/02

To my best friend. You were the last of the litter, a little scrap of fur. but I fell in love with you from the beginning. I loved the way you played and pretended to be tough around the other animals. but I knew you were a softly. you were always at my side. I loved you very much and will always miss you. But I knew that day when I couldn't save you, that we would go our separate ways. you looked at me and knew, so you licked my hand that one last time as if to say goodbye. I stayed with you until the end, and buried you in your favorite spot. Chaddles, you will always be my best friend, and I will cherish you in my heart forever.

Rochelle Thompson


Chakkri, 10/11/93-03/16/04

Thank you, Chakkri, for all the love and comfort you gave me for so many years. I love you with all my heart, and I'll love you forever. As I told you, wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge so we can be together forever. The pain of missing you is almost unbearable, but I didn't want you to suffer. I think all the time of your big blue eyes, striped whiskers, brown nose leather and the pink tongue. My deepest love, Mama


Champ, 01/21/90-04/13/04

We love you and miss you so much Champ!!! You were the light of our lives!!!

He will could never be replaced.

Regina


Champion, 04/01/91-01/06/04

Chosen by our daughter as her first pet, Champ quickly became a beloved member of our family.
We watched in awe as he grew into an adult, his knowledge and being astounding us all.
The sparkle in his eyes when he was excited to see you; his snuggling when he knew you were sad; his ability to use his paws just as if they were hands.
Our remarkable pet will be missed forever.
He was the BEST of the best.
We love you, Champ.
And oh how we miss you!
May God keep you safe until we can join you at the Bridge.

Mike and Darlene


Chan, 01/29/04

Chan was our first Chin.
Our lives have been so enriched by knowing him and the other Chin who populate our lives or the lives of other family members. He was orneriness personified in his younger days, but became much more mellow as he aged. He was a handsome gentleman with beautiful silky red and white fur, dignified but not so much so that he wouldn't cheerfully lick your face in greeting. He was very friendly and curious about the world. He was our dear friend and companion. We will miss him always.

Julia and Willis McClure


Chance, 03/02/97-04/21/04

My baby, best friend and confidant is gone. I will miss her terribly. I can't hardly wait to see her again. So we can play and swim and just be together. She always had a hug and kiss for me and I for her. She was my all, my little Shiloh Chance Dakota.

Nancy Crutcher


Chance, 04/01/91-04/26/04

Chance

You were a survivor from the day we brought you home from the cottage. What a great dog you were we could not believe someone had abandon you. I love you very much and you will always have a special place in my heart, your memories will be with me forever, from you eating raw potatoes on the bed or standing on the roof at the cottage I will never forget you. Have fun with PussBuss. We will all miss you so much. We all love you.

Shawna


Chance, 01/24/04

My beautiful dog, Chance, died suddenly.
I can actually feel the pain in my heart. He could bring out in me something that most people can't find.
I can see him everywhere although he is not here. What I gave him never equaled what he gave me.
My buddy, my best friend, I know there will be other dogs in my life, but I will always miss you.

Carol and Al Fricke


Chance, 03/27/95-01/14/04

Chance was a 105 lb beautiful and proud American Bull who came a very long way in his life after being rescued and having to be retrained due to aggression. He came along way and did absolutely great. His love for me showed me many things, and he was so grateful for being with me and I was honored to be his friend and owner. Chance guarded me while I was driving on the road with him from L.I.N.Y. all the way to Canada. He would protect my life with a broken back if he had too. He was the best dog that I ever had and the best friend that I ever had also. Chance came to me after I put my Beau down after being with me for 15 yrs. He was my beautiful German Shepard. Chance was so proud and strong and I will always miss him to this day and never will forget him. He was my true love of companions and I will never forget him he will be in my heart forever, Chance I miss you and I will never forget you and I will always love you my beautiful beautiful boy..........I love you mom


Chandler, 03/21/04

Chandler was let out in the cold, His owners did not want him anymore. We had just lost Our Shih Tzy Buttons on Dec 8th, and Our lives were so sad. I rescued Chandler after 3 days out there it was Dec 31 03 and We fell head over heels with this Lovable Sweetheart of a cat, HE brought joy back to Our household... he was so playful... God sent him to us I believe. Then on March 21, we awoke to see Chandler struggling to breath..rushed Him to the Hospital, and was told he was critical... x rays showed His little lungs full of fluid and his heart enlarged, as we were helping him there he got worse...so we had no choice but to help him to the bridge... =(

81 days of pure love, there was a reason for Him in our lives, But I wish He could had stayed MUCH LONGER.

We Love You Chandler.

Evelyn & John Frautten


Chanel Jones, 12/06/01-07/07/03

Chanel, I love you with all of my heart. I'm sorry that I couldn't save you. I think about you everyday; I miss you soooooo much. We all miss you. I wish that you can see your sister....she looks just like you. Nicky is dealing with it better than I am...I think Coco makes him feel a little better, but I know he still longs to kiss you. I hope your not jealous of her. I know that if she would have known you she would have LOVED you to death. I'm sorry if you think I'm holding onto your memory for far too long...I can't even go to church. Someday that will all change...don't worry. I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I won't ever forget you!! Love, Emily

Sandra Martin


Chando, 09/02/02-01/17/04

My precious Chando, Mommy cries all the time, she misses you so very very much. You filled a void and gave me many days of unconditional love, joy and happiness. I will forever remember you getting into trouble all the time, how you loved to torment me and keep me on my toes. You stole my heart when you were placed in my arms at the age of six weeks and you took my heart when you left me behind. Chando, you are always in my heart. Thank you for the love you gave me, the happy memories. I will cherish the memories and will look at your pictures with lots of love and tearful eyes. I told you hundreds of times every day how much Mommy loved you. I cried, begged and pleaded for you not to leave Mommy behind, but you used to hear me talk about my beloved husband, Leon, and how much I missed him and you wanted to go to heaven and meet him. You were only one year and four months old when you left me, but in that short time we bonded like glue. No matter where I was at I was always in a hurry to get home to my Baby, my Chando. Mommy misses you so deeply it hurts. Your ashes now rest on top of the TV and every morning I kiss the urn and tell you I love and miss you, and at night I kiss it goodnight, like I used to do when I told every evening it was "nite, nite" and you ran and jumped on my bed. Give a kiss to Leon from Mommy, and one day the three of us will be together. Your Mommy who will love and miss you forever....Yogi


Chaney's Wee Bonny Lass, 08/21/94-02/20/04

See you some day at the Bridge. The days of running in the park & winning those silly contests have been gone for a long time and your agony is over. I love you & will miss the unending, unwavering love & loyalty you showed to me, mommy & the kids.

Chaplin, 01/07/04

Chaplin was such the purrfect cat, everyone loved her. Even people that didn't like cats couldn't help but fall in love with her. She will always be in my heart forever. And I believe I will see her again someday.
I love you Chaplin!!

Charcoal, 06/19/94-01/02/04

My dear sweet boy, I miss you so much. You will always be in my heart and sole. You gave so much to myself and Henry more than we could ever repay, asking only for love and giving unconditional love. Our lives will never never be the same without you.

Charcoal, 01/04/96-01/29/04

My sweet Charlie, the last gift from my father when he died. You helped me thru the most difficult time of my life. I love you and miss you. Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge you will be in my heart.

Sandy


Charlie, 01/15/01-05/24/04

Charlie was the best dog ever. I couldn't have asked for a better companion. He loved to dance with me. He would sit in my lap, sleep by my head, wanting to go everywhere with me. I love him deeply, and will miss him terribly. Charlie was taken from my life suddenly when he was struck by a car. I will never have annother quite like him. He is a one of a kind. The love and compassion he had for my family is incredible. I will always love you Char Char! Be a good boy, and don't worry, Mommy will be home soon......................


Charlie, 05/23/04

Charlie was our best friend for 12 years. We loved him and pampered him every day, and he did the same for us. We will miss him dearly and think of him every day until we join him again in paradise.

Charlie, 04/93-05/92

You were such a good boy, so loyal and loving. I couldn't save you from the fire, please forgive me baby. Thank you for coming to me that night and letting me know that you were okay. I still think of you and miss you today. Thank you for sharing your life with me and again, I'm so sorry I couldn't save you. Sleep well sweet boy, I'll see you soon.

Charlie, 05/05/04

The best teacher we ever had. He taught us all that is important to be better people..love, life and living. He was our heart, our protector, our everpresent constant, our love, our perfect friend. He had the heart and soul of the finest being we could ever had been blessed to be a part of. We will miss our beloved Charlie, now and forever. He lives on in our hearts and heads. Forever Bo-Bo we love you.

Charlie, "Chocolate Paws" how I love and miss you. I reach for you in the night and you're not there curled up beside my head. I'll carry you in my heart forever. Goodbye my love, my child, my best friend. God speed.

Tracy Bryant


Charlie, 04/23/04

Charlie was rescued by Golden Retriever Rescue of Charlotte and came to his forever home only 4.5 years ago. The more we LOVED him, the MORE he gave back. We wish that he had more time with us, but we are thankful for the time we had. He was and shall ever be my friend, I will think of him everyday until we meet again.

Charlie, 01/06/00-03/13/04

Charlie,

You were such a good piggie. Even with all the oral syringe feedings and visits to the vets, you never tried to bite us. You knew we were only trying to make you healthy again. Mommy is so sorry that we couldn't do anything more to make you better. I'm just glad you're not in pain anymore, but I miss you with all my heart & so does your daddy. I remember your cute little face and your "fu-manchu" whiskers. I also miss your little lip hanging down when we would rub your chin. I miss you so much and I love you so much. Please understand that we did the best we could.

Brandi Wills


Charlie, 11/09/01-03/10/04

We all miss you Charlie and Love you so very much Baby. Papaw and Mamaw Cries everyday. We hope you like all the things we bring to you . And we added you a little light so you don't get afraid at night. Mommy and Daddy Love's you. You are Forever in our Hearts.


Charlie, 09/22/93-03/05/04

Charlie we love you and miss you deeply. You brightened our days and nights for many years. Courtney and Spunkie miss their brother. Our house will never be the same without you.

Charlie, 02/25/04

To the sweetest and smartest little puppy that I ever had. He managed to touch so many lives and bring joy with the sight of his happy face. Everywhere I look, I am reminded of him and feel my heart ache so very much. I can't believe he is gone and weep when I think of how he never had a chance to live a full life. I love you and miss you Charlie.

Charlie, 02/07/04

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Charlie. We nicknamed him Sir Charles because he was so regal, patient and kind. Every one that met him, loved him and wanted him. We were so lucky he was our friend and companion. He is so terribly missed.

Christy and Murray


Charlie, 06/2000-12/30/03

My best friend, be good at the bridge. I will see you again, till then you will always be in my heart. I love you

Charlie, 01/14/04

A little dog that brought out tremendous love in people. We will miss you Charlie.

Kellie For Juan


Charlie B Barkin, 05/27/04

He was as loyal as anyone could wish. Even when he was old he tried to stay beside anyone in the family. He would strain to give us kisses from his short height, and often would try to climb the stairs to our bedrooms at night, even though he had arthritis in his hind legs and a torn tendon.
He was noble, loyal, and true.

Erin Carter


Charlie Brown, 02/22/04

Charlie had a true heart of gold. He was my soulmate in dog form. He didn't have a mean bone in his body and was so happy to be alive!! He never had a bad mood or a bad day. We miss him so much. We were blessed to have him in our lives for 9 years. Life will never be the same without him, but our lives were so enriched for having had him.

To My Little Charlie, I love and miss you so much. Things are not the same without you here but I know you are in a better place. I can't wait to see you again. I will always think about you and keep you in my heart. I lost my best friend today when you were laid to rest. I love you so much. Love always, Angel

Charlie the Bear, 04/26/92-12/03/03

Good Lord, Bear, it's been almost 5 months, does it ever get any easier? I miss your dear little face, your greeting every time Mommy came in the door, life will never be the same. I grieve for you each and every day, as does Simon, your dear brother. He is SOOOOO lonely for you! Even Zoe Rachel misses you, and she really can't remember you. Rest well, my sweetie, we will be together again someday at the Rainbow Bridge. Please, Please, help Mommy's heart to stop hurting!!

Sharon Booher Wall


Charlotte, 02/06/04

Charlotte died because she didn't have enough blood cells...I took care of her when she couldn't walk up the stairs, and she took care of me by laying outside my bedroom door at night... I'm still waiting for her to come around a corner...my world is so quiet now, and I hate it.

Jen


Charly, 05/29/04

Oh! if you only knew, Charly, how much you added to our lives and oh how we will miss you.
Although we only had you for 7 months after your human, Louise, passed away, you meant so much to us and taught us more than you'll ever know in that short time.
We love you, Charly and release you to your original owner who passed on before you.
May you run and frolic in the beautiful green hills across Rainbow Bridge until we all meet again.
Thank you for gracing our lives with your wonderful, beautiful, happy self.

Ray & Maggie Davis


Charly Parker, 06/05/04

We adopted Charly on 5/26 from the county shelter. We never got to bring her home. She was sick first with bordatella, then (they thought) with parvo, and, as we soon found out, with pancreatitis from which she could not recover. She was a sweet little girl and deserved a happy life and a peaceful end. Unfortunately, her last days (and who knows how many before that) were spent sick and alone in the county shelter and vet offices. Charly, I would have done anything to help you, and I wanted to bring you home so badly. I'm so sorry.

Jenny and Jim


Charm, 04/23/04

Charm was a rescue cat who was looking for a new home. I adopted her in May of 2001. Although she wasn't affectionate to anyone she would let me pet her and I called her "mamma." She started having trouble breathing in March of this year and when I took her to the vet. We found out she had an enlarged heart and pneumonia. We decided to treat her for the pneumonia then for her heart. But on Friday April 23 she started to kick her hind legs and then her legs went paralyzed. About 20 min later she breathed her last breath. I never had time to take her to the emergency hospital. She died in my arms with me talking to her and telling her how much I loved her. I took her to the emergency hospital to have them cremate her and I now have her with me. I will miss her very much and I wish that I could have had her with me longer.

Chassy, 01/22/03

Chassy - I hope now that you've crossed over the rainbow bridge - your back legs are back to running all over the grass - catching your balls - your favorite game. WE MISS YOU TERRIBLY! You have left your paw prints forever bedded in our hearts.
We love and miss you!

Georgia Karnavas


Chat Amour A.K.A. Chamie, 12/11/02-07/15/04

Chamie's loving touch with a soft paw on my cheek every morning, her playful pouncing on me as I descended the stairs each day, and her welcome crouch, awaiting my loving strokes when I returned will live in my memory forever.
Her possessive way of sleeping on papers and books as I worked at my desk -- and mischievously absconding with makeup brushes, pens, pencils and earrings from where ever she could find them -- will remain fond pictures in my mind, as she remains in my heart.

Lee Ullstrom

Good bye my sweet girl. I will miss you more then imaginable. You were my protector and companion. You helped my get through some pretty hard times. You were my very first pet...you taught me so much about unconditional love and I will never forget that. Thank you and I love you Bobo.

Chauncy, 11/26/92-01/15/04

Dear Precious Chauncy, You are sorely missed!
What wonderful times we had together.
You were a loving little dog and you were made of gold.
What a joy you gave to me and to your brother Shamos!
Remember always that I will always love you; you can not be replaced.
As I sing those silly songs I made up, I'll always sing to you too. God Bless you my precious; you made the eleven years we had together so very special.
I miss you!
Love, Mama and Shamos


Chaz, 12/29/03

Chaz was a very very special dog not only to our family but to our whole subdivision.
He had many homes. He was the neighborhood dog. no leash was ever needed with Chaz.
He visited door to door daily with many families who gave him treats and took them into their home as if he were theirs.
Chaz... you hold a special place in my heart and I know I will never fully heal from the loss of you but I am so happy to know you run free now and are in no pain. You kept our family together and when it did fall apart you kept me together. I love you and will miss you incredibly but our family will not be the only one missing you, the whole neighborhood is hurting from your loss. God Bless you baby. I love you sooo much!

Cheche, 30/08/92-26/03/04

Just to let you know that I will have to have Cheche put down within the next 2 days. I knew this was coming and that I have had 4 years at Easter since they wanted me to have her put down the last time but it is still hard. I am trying something else but I know it is only a stopgap solution that will only give me a couple of more days with my devoted pet and friend. I know may people will say that it is only a dog but Cheche has been more than that. When I have been too sick with cancer to move, eat or even care Cheche was always there for me. She never leaves my side. She is laying here beside me even as I type this. It is hard. If dogs have a heaven, then I know she will be there

Jan Delbridge


Checkers, 01/09/04

The most loving & sweet cat ever. You were most happiest when you could be curled up in my arms. You found me & never left me. You are so deeply missed but we will be together again. I loved you so very much. Checkers was truly a very special cat.

Cheeno, 02/08/04

Cheeno, my ferret since I was in 7th grade. I'm a senior now. He outlived my other two fuzzies that were younger than him. He's been my best friend, and always full of energy for me. I can't really even remember life without getting up early in the morning to let my ferrets out for playtime, or giving baths on weekends.

"Horses have long lives.
You can get 15 or more years of companionship from a dog, and cats, it seems, are immortal.
But ferrets only visit long enough to break your heart."

Chelby, 2000-03/27/04

I wonder if we humans really deserve the love of our dogs. We have our moods, and our dogs love us. We are grumpy and our dogs love us. We are happy and our dogs love us. We are sick and our dogs love us. It sounds like how God loves us, doesn't it? I think God sent us dogs to remind us of how He loves us.

Robin Church


Chelise, 02/09/03

Our beloved friend and devoted pet. Will see you over the Rainbow Bridge.

You made us laugh each and every day with your great personality.
You are missed by us all!

Chelsea, 12/21/90-04/27/04

We have spent the past thirteen years with a little dog we named Chelsea. But you know it is strange she was an intricate part of our family life and family routine. With our daughters and friends, etc. she was viewed more in being short in stature and four legged rather than being a dog. She played a large part of that interaction which set the stage for fun, excitement and joy. Not a day went by that we didn't play with her and experience the joy she brought to light. Even now that Chelsea has left us on 4-27-04 this day will forever mark her passing and the lighting of a flame that will burn in our hearts and minds that will never be extinguished. A fleeting moment frozen in time. Even though those wonderful years cannot be reclaimed or relived the love that she brought has enriched our souls and altered our lives forever. So Chelsea let us lift our glass to you and in one last and final toast say we love you and miss you in both your coming and your passing which will be equally remembered forever.

Bye Sweet Girl

Corrine and Bobby O'Reilly


Chelsea, 05/16/92-04/24/04

Chelsea. We will miss you forever! Your companion of 7 years, Mandy is lonely and lost without you. We will give her the love we gave to you. We look forward to seeing you healthy and happy again when our life's journey ends and the eternal one begins.

Chelsea, 02/24/04

To Chelsea, a wonderful dog whose character brought so much joy and laughter to our home. We will miss the fussing and the wanting to "get in on everything", the watching of people eating food in the hope you'll have one small piece... the way you always greeted us with such love and affection. We are so glad we had you in our lives Chelsea and with you gone now, there will always be a space where you once were, but you will ALWAYS be in our hearts forever. Love Mum, Dad and Simon.


Chelsea, 02/16/04

We had 14 wonderful years with you.

Melissa, Todd, Adam & Emily


Chelsea Chainsaw, 01/91-03/2004

She is not gone, she is just far away. She brought us so much and expected so little. She had us trained very well. Our other family pets would want to go outside all together, do you think she would? No she would wait until we would get settled back down and comfortable then she would go to the door and bark. Or maybe one of the others would have her favorite place, (curled up in the corner of the couch) she would go to the window and bark. They would go to look at what she may see, BANG up on her spot she would go. The oldest of my tribe, they all respected her and we all miss her very much. Thank you Chelsea for being part of my life.

Jeri Lynn Racz


Chelsea De De, 04/29/92-04/24/04

Chelsea came to me as a stray. She was the kindest sweetest kitty. She followed me to the store, watched me work and lap sat for hours. I would wake up with her on my chest or pillow. Chelsea died from heat exhaustion. I am so distressed as I wasn't there for her.

Chelsea Samantha Maria, 08/23/94-02/04/04

You were there with me through some of the most difficult days of my life. I remember when you licked the tears off my face on those dark nights when I missed Jim so much. I know you are with him now and I can just see the two of you playing together, along with Casey "puppy young'un" and Charlie and Sister. Hannah Dog, and Sam-Lamb miss you too. Please wait for me at the rainbow bridge. I'll look for you there, but until then, I will keep you close in my heart...Love, Judy


Chelsea Shepherd, 05/30/04

To the cuties puppy in the world. A week ago you came into our lives. You gave us so much joy and love. I will miss the way you greeting us in the morning and the kisses you gave me when I carried you to your pen. I wish we could of spent a life time with you, but you will be with me for my life time. I will hang your picture on the wall and remember your beautiful brown eyes and your shiney black coat. Most of all I will miss the happiness you gave me. I love you little one. Mama loves you baby.


Chelses, 04/02/89-06/07/04

Love Always,

Chelsie, 01/31/91-01/08/04

I lost Chelsie today. She was 14. We bought her in Germany while we were stationed there and she had traveled the world with us. She was old and getting worse. I hated to do it, but could not watch her suffer any more. I am very sad.

We miss her sweet face & gentle manner.
Good night sweet Cher.
Sleep softly!

Brenda


Cher, 10/09/95-12/09/03

Dear Cher,

Words cannot accurately describe the heartbreak Mommy and I went through when you were diagnosed with that cancerous tumor. As brave and strong as you were, no one could tell there was anything wrong, until it was too late. We are sorry we could have not done more for you.

Not a day goes by that we don’t think or talk about our “Little Girl” and we miss you terribly. You were a gift from God in the way you helped us get over the loss of your “brother” Sonny, just 6 months earlier.

You’re as precious and sweet as an angel and Mommy and we thank God you came into our lives. We hope that you and your brother Sonny are reunited and playing together over the Rainbow Bridge.

Thank you for being a great companion, a warm friend and a great dog.

Love for eternity, until we meet you at the Bridge.

Mom and Dad.


Cherokee, 07/19/94-02/18/04

You came to me as a little pup, so smart, so adorable. You grew into a beautiful, intelligent sweet animal. Out of all the fur family, you were the one who ran to me when I was sad, or sick. When you got sick two weeks ago, I laid by your side hoping it would pass. I was so upset that you weren't feeling well. I tried not to cry, since I knew you'd get upset, but when I finally gave in to the tears, you put your paw on my hand and licked away the tears. When you started to get better so fast, I got hopeful that you'd be ok. The doc said your heart was strong, and there was no cancer. You were so peppy and happy. I went to work, not thinking that it would be the last time I'd feed you in the morning. When 'daddy mark' called and said you didn't look so good, I came home knowing in my heart that that day might be your last, even before I saw you. I knew that you also knew. Instead of coming to the door when I let called you from outside, I saw that you went to my car. The doctor tried everything. I was and still am so upset that you went when you were only 9. You seemed so relaxed in the back of the car just laying with the sun hitting your face. That's how I want to remember you. Thank you Cherokee for letting mommy know that it was ok to let you go. I didn't want to make such a decision if you weren't ready. But when I asked, you looked at me and licked away a tear. Thank you. I'm sorry Daddy and 'the boys' Max, and Boo, didn't get to say goodbye, but I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Everyone misses you. Booboo looks for you and keeps sniffing your spot on the rug. He and Max ran to my car looking for you when I let them outside. It is very sad. I did speak to Terri and she said you'd be back to visit. I hope you do. Mommy feels empty Cherkie-girl. I want the pain to go away. You were so special to me. You ALWAYS will be. I love you "mama girl". You'll always be my baby. Be good, and say hello to Toby for me. I miss you.

Cherrish, 04/01/87-01/28/04

I had Cherrish for 17 years. I got her when I was nine years old. She moved with me and the family to various cities, went to college with me, and then moved with me far out-of-state when I accepted a job out of college. She was an amazing friend and family member and I miss her tremendously...my heart literally hurts. God Bless my precious baby!

Chessie, 12/15/00-01/02/04

Chessie was a birthday present from my wife. She had to have been the best cat I ever owned. She would follow you around like a little puppy dog and quickly ran to the door when you came home. Today 1/2/04 she passed away from a respiratory illness while in the waiting area of the vets office. She will be sorely missed. We love you Chessie, you will always be in our hearts. Ed, Kim and Corey


Chessie Marie, 04/21/04

Chessie was a wonderful companion for 18 years, 4 months. She taught me the meaning of commitment. I will love her forever.

Chester, 04/14/04

He was a beautiful Tiger who came into our lives about 5 years ago. It took us six months to tame him, as he was an un-neutered male and was always beat up. He was not going to last much longer, as his teeth had been broken. He became an indoor cat the minute he was tamed and the second I shut the door. He never went hungry again and he never once asked for the door (the world was too cruel to him). He became sick on 04/12/04 and was brought to the hospital. Upon reviewing his first x-rays (ever), it was found out that he had been shot with buck-shot when he was a stray. He was our gentle giant and his quiet presence is sorely missed and will be forever. We love you, Chester -- Mommy & Daddy


Chester, 12/28/89-06/29/03

Dearest Chester, You taught me the meaning of unconditional love in it's purest form. Death will never destroy the bond between us, my sweet little boy. My precious angel, you have taken my heart with you on your journey, and I will see you in Heaven one day. I love you with all my heart! - Darlene, your Mommy for eternity.

Chester, 05/15/91-02/07/04

Chester William Helmers, 05/18/04

When I first got my guinea pig Chester he was 2 months old and he had the most wonderful personality ever. Every time someone went in the kitchen he started squeaking to tell the person he wanted vegetables. A couple months after I got him he got a tumor. The pet shop owner said it wasn't a big deal and it wouldn't cause any problem. In mid-April he bit his tumor open and we had to put a cone around his neck so he couldn't bite the wound. Then he started breathing funny and we all thought it was because of the collar, but he started loosing weight and he didn't eat as much as he used to. My brother finally took him to the vet. The doctor said he had pneumonia and he could go either way. The next day my brother came up to me in school and told me Chester had died that morning. We held a funeral for him the next day, and that's the last time I ever saw him....

Chewy baby, Mommy and Cleo love you very much and will miss you always. You were a very special girl to me. You took care of me when I needed it and I returned the favor when you needed it. I hope you are free from your sickness. I love you baby!!!

Chewie, 03/30/04

Chewie was that perfect Dog, that champion collie you picture a dog should be. I've never met a dog so loving, he would do anything to make me happy, he taught himself to fetch, and a number of other tricks to please me. He was my best friend, and I loved him just as much as I loved my family. nobody understands that I feel so...incomplete. I'm only 14, and his death was the worst thing that ever happened to me. worst of all he was only 6, and died of a seizure in the night. I had no way of knowing, I didn't get to say good bye. my heart feels broken, and life seems so flat. He was the perfect dog and his memory, and his sweet face will be nestled in my heart 4ever. so I love you chewie, always have, always will.

Chewie Wisner, 11/88-12/04/03

Beloved pet for many years, left memories to last a life time. He had cancer 4 years prior to his passing and survived. We had made a appointment to have him put to sleep he passed away at home the day before he was such a good and precious pet he knew we couldn't bear to have him put to sleep. He is now with others till we meet again my friend.

Chewy was our black Chow Chow who so friendly, loving and sweet. Boy do we miss you!!! Hard to come home and not have you here.. We know you are in waiting for us in heaven (God created all). Still can't stand going down Oakhurst road without thinking about you lying there along the roadside. We love you dearly and can't wait to see you again. Love Denny, Debbie, Ryan and Luke (Jesus will take good care of you till we get there, He's the best)....

Cheyenne, 09/02/94-01/07/04

CHEYENNE: My little golden girl, with her little golden eyes, her little pink nose, and her little pink footies. Her nicknames were Punk, because of her personality, Punkin, because we got her the day after Halloween, and Piglet, because my daughter said some of the sounds she made as a puppy sounded like pig noises. She softened the loss of Ghost just 3 days before to bone cancer. Cheyenne was Golden in colour, about 55 pounds, with very muscular legs, so much so that my youngest daughter referred to her as a Buff Chic. She was friendly with people, LOVED to play ball. She always met me at the door when I came in, whether I was gone all day or two minutes to give me a kiss. She was First in her obedience class and did numerous tricks. The best tricks she did was situp, which we called chipmunk, because she looked like one when she started to do it as a puppy, and to play dead when she was shot with a finger gun. She liked all other dogs and was perplexed when some would growl or snap at her. Cheyenne would guard the house by going into our bedroom as I was walking to the front door, and sleeping on our waterbed until I came home, no matter how long I was gone or anybody else was in the house. When we got her a buddy, Taz, in 1996, she was so jealous that she would nip her on the shoulder when they would greet me at the door. She would hunt birds, possums, raccoons, squirrels, and anything else that had a pulse. Cheyenne and Taz would lay in wait in the backyard at night to ambush anything that used our fence for a pathway. Together they became known as the Silent Killers, for when they attacked some creature they did not make any noise, you would just notice some activity in the yard. Taz misses you so much. She did not talk for about 10 days, she would go into the backyard and look so lost. It is the first time in her life that she had been alone. I love my little girl. I miss my baby. Sweet Dreams Punkin. Wait for me.

Chicados Express, 04/14/04

Our wonderful stallion, Express, was put down due to kidney failure.
He had been dealing with this problem for five years with lots of success.
But when the kidneys went for good there was nothing that could be done.
He had a magnificent heart and fought till the end.
We raised many wonderful colts by him, and many were quite well known in the barrel horse community.
Even though we knew at 22, he was living on borrowed time, it was still a shattering experience to lose him. I know he is up there somewhere running free with our mares who went before him.
May he always have breezes to lift his mane and grass to lay on to rest.
You will always be "the ole man" and a grand one you were.

Chi Chi, 12/13/91-02/20/04

Chi Chi, Mommy and Daddy miss you so much! The house is not the same without you here with us. Spot and Pepper miss you so much. Oh how we cried when you had to leave us. You filled our life with unconditional love for thirteen years. I know you are with your little puppy Jake now and Bear. I didn't know you had Diabetes. You went into renal failure before we could catch it and a short week later you were gone. I will always love you and I await the day we can be together again. So run and play with the other little ones honey and know that Mommy and Daddy love you very much.


Chi-Chi (Misty Chautauqua), 02/27/94-01/24/04

To my Chi-Chi...who is terribly missed and will always be loved.

I wish you were here. Susie


ChiChi and Tessie, 2002

For ChiChi and Tessie, I know Joe waited for you, and though I wish you were still here I know you were happy to meet your person on the rainbow bridge. I wish that Joe could have waited for you. I wish that we could have had your love a little longer. I understand why you couldn't wait. I'm so sorry that you couldn't wait to meet him there, but I know that both of you are happier with your person. Tell Joe that we love and miss him. We love and miss you ChiChi and Tessie. I'll see you on the other side of the Bridge

We are devastated, in shock and lost without our angel.

Julie & Bryan


Chien, 04/22/04

Chien loved life. She lived it with both mischief and vigor. She would wiggle her head under your hand so that you would pet her and she was always glad to see everyone who came to the house. During the day she would sneek up on the couch and peek out the vertical blinds to see what was going on in the outside world. She was such a good girl and wonderful, faithful, unwavering company. She will be forever missed and always in our hearts.

From the moment I saw you at NSAL standing up and looking like a little prisoner in your cage, I knew you were the one! I will always remember how you would "show my guests the door" in your own special way. You have brought me tons of love and job in our 16+ years together my sweet "Cheen." Rest in peace.

Chingy Boy, 05/20/90-11/08/03

Chingy Boy you were very special, you where more than a dog to us. You were our best friend and companion. You were just always there no matter what. When we were sad, you were there to lick away our tears and comfort us. If we were happy you wanted to play even though in the end it was very hard for you, you still tried to play. You just seemed to understand our every mood. It was so very hard for us the day we put you to sleep we just did not want to see you suffer any more. You were hurting so bad whenever you tried to do anything. You could no longer play like you use to and it was so hard watching you fall and choke all the time. That last tear you tried to lick away from my face before you went to sleep I will never forget. We even miss your snoring. I will never forget you. We love you Chingy Boy and sure do miss you. When we remember how you were, suffering in the end is the only time we believe putting you to sleep was the right thing to do. We know you are heaven now by Joe Jo and. hope you are happy up in heaven with and keeping him company as you did us. Love you always Chingy Boy with love Reba Jo and Donna

Chipper, 02/15/89-04/06/04

Chipper my beautiful cat, you're gone! How desperately lonely and sad I am, we all are without you here, me your human Dad, and your human Grandma. So sad too are many in your extended human family, friends, and animals in the neighborhood (even Bubbles your outdoor sister looks a bit lost). Tears and Tears. Tears fell from my eyes last night when you weren't sitting on your pad on my bed, even more when you didn't come and wake me up to get under the covers or to let you out at 5am. It's so quiet now, painfully quiet. No more will I hear sound of your gentle snore, no sweet meow to say hello, no cry at the door to let you in, and out, in and out, in and out. No more kitty cuddle, no more kitty bonkers, no more kitty cave. Dear precious critter, you took my heart and gave me love. Thank you for all 15 years, 7 weeks and two days. I know your last few months were difficult, the last days maybe unbearable, and the last hour fearful. Forgive for having to send you on, for I had to give you one last chance to be healthy again. Perhaps your breeder mommie Becky came to greet you so you wouldn't be scared. I hope you enjoyed your life here, from Marin to San Diego, Lake Tahoe to Sonoma, from inside to outside. You made my life, all our lives, better and I will always miss you. My friend. My PooBoo, Merni, Me-er, Fatboy, Chippy. Goodbye for now, Hugs! Love!!! your "eeeerroo" (daddy)

Dear Chipper, you brought such joy and sweetness to our lives. You left us much too soon, but you will forever frolic in our memories, and I expect to see you again one day. I love you, Chipper-dipper-doo. Mommie


Chipper Jones, 07/02-05/26/04

Chipper we love you more than anything and miss you so much.
Every morning and every night we'll be thinking of you.
You were only with us for a short time but brought memories that will last us a lifetime.

Chipper Lewis, 10/01/89-03/13/04

My dearest Chipper,

You gave us the greatest gift and that was you. We love you so much and we will miss you with all our hearts.

You are a part of my heart and of my soul forever. Our love will find a way back to you. We will meet again my precious one.

Thank You for your last gift to us and that was waiting till we got back from our trip to come straight to the hospital where you were to hold you in our arms and say goodby. As I held you in my arms, I petted your head and told you to cross over the bridge. You took your last breath and died just as I was saying that. You waited to be with us one last time. You will never, ever be forgotten my love, never. I hold you always in my heart till we meet. Be happy and free. No more pain.

Mom and Dad

Chloe was a special Cockatoo and loved very much. She developed a bacterial infection and just could not overcome it. We miss her so much. She was a very special, loving bird.

Emily Vandemark


Chloe, 03/11/04

I did not get to tell you what a wonderful friend, protector, babysitter, and constant companion you were for me. How I wish I had told you goodbye and held you till you went to the bridge. I am so sorry I did not know you were so sick but I did love you dearly. I am missing you every minute and so are the girls. Isabel tells everyone you are with Jesus but Ella does not understand why you aren't coming home. Baby Caleb did not get to know you even though I know you adored him from the minute you saw him. We are so sad without you - even Sophie did not eat for 2 days! She misses you sleeping beside her at night and especially to cuddle with during the rainstorms. Daddy misses you too and remembers you with fondness and affection. I miss your cute antics - sleeping with all four legs in the air, clumsily following me upstairs, and flapping your big ears.

You were my canine soul mate and I will always have a special place in my heart for you. Rest in peace sweet girl. Love, Mama


Chloe, 01/28/00-03/30/04

She was my soulmate, my best friend. I cry everyday...still. I miss her so much. She was too young.

Chloe, 05/17/03

Chloe was the most awesome and mellow cat. She loved everyone-people, dogs, other cats. When the dogs lined up for a treat, there would be Miss Boots.
She was my princess and her fur was as soft as down.
I miss her so very much and can't wait to meet her at the Rainbow Bridge.

Marti Geck


Chloe, 04/06/04

Thank you for being my friend all these years and seeing me through the good times and bad. Your unconditional love, sweetness, and ability to know when I needed a cuddle will never be forgotten. I will always love you and will see on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge some day.

Chloe, 09/04/03-03/31/04

To my sweet Chloe, no dog loved so much and was given so much love to all. You were the most gentle, even tempered gentle giant anyone could have. You had the softest, most velvety ears and big black olive nose to kiss! I miss you dearly, Love, Mom


Chloe, 03/28/04

We love you Chloe, and we miss you greatly even though you have just passed on. We all mourn very deeply, but we know in time that we will be reunited once again. I know that you are feeling no more pain and are living a happy healthful life now. I will see you again, I promise. I miss you so much. I love you so much. Love-Kristina

We miss Chloe with all of our hearts. We hope she knew how much she was loved and that we would have done anything to make her better. Chloe filled a room with happiness and left no foot untouched. (She loved being petted with feet and would put her paw on any foot in sight to be touched.) I hope Chloe is waiting for me and wagging that tail as she did so well when I get to heaven. Until then I hope you are running and playing and having fun my little Chlo-Moe. I love you. Mom and family.


Chloe, 12/15/99-01/06/04

My beautiful angel, Chloe.
You brought so much joy to me in your short life.

Choco, 08/97-01/05/04

Choco, I can't begin to tell you how terribly your missed. I had never experienced such a unique personality in a cat. You were abandoned by a family at Ft. Knox and the children at my school found you wondering the hallway. You weren't afraid of anyone. I am so thankful I brought you home to live with me. We had five wonderful years together, but not nearly long enough. I never thought that cold January day that I wouldn't be bringing you home alive. I go over and over in my mind what I could have done differently so that maybe you would still be with us. You were just born with underdeveloped kidneys, and always had problems with them from the time I brought you home. I can only take comfort in knowing you had the best possible pampered life while I had you. We all miss you and talk about the silly things you would do everyday. Emmy wonders where her "coconut" is, not there to sleep in her bed, try to eat her dog food, drink her water and bat at her with your paws through the fence dividing the kitchen and living room. I love you and miss you so much. I am glad you are free from pain now. We will meet again one day in a better place but until then remember how much you are cherished and loved. With Much Love, Mommy, Lindsay, Zach, Darrell, Cleo & Emmy


Choco, 08/97-01/05/04

Choco, The first time I saw you you were surrounded by children in our school library. You loved all the attention and were not scared one bit. I am grateful for the five years that you were with us. You were the most unique, sweet and most beautiful cat. I miss you terribly, but am thankful you are not in pain any longer. I am sorry that you suffered as long as you did. I think of you every day and talk with you at your gravesite. We all love you and miss you our little "coconut". Thank you for sharing your life with us. Forever in our hearts. Mommy, Zach & Lindsay


Chocolate Face, 11/17/03

Chocolate Face "Kitty" was my angel baby and he will live in my heart forever until we can be reunited in heaven.

Chong, 04/01/86-05/06/04

When you walk through a storm, Hold your head up high, And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm, There's a golden sky, And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Though your dreams be tossed and blown...
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.......
You'll never walk alone.
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart, And you'll never walk alone.......
You'll never walk alone

My husband and I had taken in a client of mine from the vet clinic that I work in. He was an 18 year old Siamese cat named Chong. He and I had become VERY good friends and his owners felt he needed more attention than they could give in the closing days of his life, so, knowing how much I adored him, they asked me to take him and of course I accepted. Knowing fully that he was not in good health with bad kidneys and being completely blind in both eyes, Alex and I took him in and gave him all the love we had. He and I spent every free moment I had together and there was nothing better than holding this sweet old kitty close. The love I have for my own kids is still strong but something about this cat got to me. He was my animal soulmate. Unfortunately, love alone could not keep him healthy. When he started to get worse at the beginning of this week I knew that the time was getting close. I came home from work on Thursday I knew it was time for him to go. He couldn't stand or eat or drink and I didn't want this wonderful friend to suffer any longer. After rushing him back to the hospital and going through an exam, Dr. Kolich agreed that a feeding tube and IV would only prolong his suffering. So at 5:45pm my sweet little Chong was layed to rest. He didn't have to hurt anymore. His stiff little body was able to move again without pain and he was peaceful and happy. Even though he was only with us for a few weeks, he made a big difference in my life and although I knew the time would eventually come, you are never fully prepared for death. I miss him so much already.....

Choppa, 07/01/99

Even though all these years have gone by, our young boy still grieves your loss, still sheds tears for you. Growing up can be so difficult for special children, and losing a dog so early in life is so terrible. But you, little dog, are loved always. Thanks for your sparkle and love! Emma is good, I watch out for her for you. Someday sooner Bunky will arrive, but with luck our Emmy will be with me for a while longer. Watch for your sister cat, little black dog! Hugs and love from Mom.


Chopper, 04/16/02

Chopper was a beautiful black cat with the most luminous green eyes. I rescued him from the street when he was still small enough to hold in one hand. He was a sickly baby but grew into a handsome adult with a very affectionate nature. He loved to be around other cats, especially his "big brother" Leo. Leo didn't like to cuddle with Chopper too much, so Chopper would wait until Leo was asleep to curl up next to him. For weeks after Chopper died, Leo would go each night to Chopper's favorite spot and sit. Chopper left us too soon, but we have many happy memories.

Chrissy, 12/04/85-12/28/03

In January of 1986, I moved into my first apartment at the beginning of my last semester in college and I embarked on a much anticipated search for the perfect cat. My mother had recently had Persian cats after a lifetime of having domestic shorthair (and medium hair) cats and I guess I had Persians on my mind. The most special cat in my life up until this time (and she will always be special) was a tortoiseshell cat that was born to my sister's cat that I named Tiger Lilly and had for several years. Tiger's markings were so unique that I never thought I would ever see another cat like her. So when I went to visit a lady who had Persian's advertised, Chrissy, a very tiny tortoiseshell Persian, marked very much like Tiger, was there and I fell in love with her and took her home. Chrissy joined me at the beginning of what was my real adult life. In her first year with me I finished college, earning a BA in journalism, started my first job as a photographer for a newspaper, and established my first residence away from my parent's home. She was with me through the ups and downs of boyfriends, longtime college friends moving back to their home state, one friend dying of cancer, new friends and career moves. She was there during the courtship with my husband, the birth of two children, the loss of both parents, and a move to a new house 3 years ago that had a nice deck that she enjoyed sunning herself on. This was a special treat as I had never allowed her to go outside at our previous house because I couldn't risk anything happening to her. The deck at the new house was upstairs, adjacent to our bedroom and she was content to stay there and I didn't have to worry about her roaming and possibly getting hurt.

We are a family of journalist, tuned into current events. The week I brought Chrissy home, the space shuttle Challenger exploded, she sat in my lap as I watched the coverage on TV. When the Columbia shuttle broke up 17 years later, I was amazed that Chrissy was still with us and still relatively healthy. Chrissy also experienced the Oklahoma City bombing with us, we were living 5 miles north of the Murrah building when it was bombed, although our house shook so severely that we thought that whatever had happened must have been much closer. Chrissy was there as I watched the aftermath of Waco and the first World Trade Center bombing and she was with me on 9/11 as I sat on my bed with my sister on the phone and we watched in horror as the buildings collapsed. Chrissy was there as I raised my two children, enduring their early childhood, offering quiet support as I experienced the joys and concerns of motherhood. When the kids were younger and shared a room, she would always come in and sit with us during our bedtime rituals, like clockwork. During most of her life she had a playful streak. When she was younger, I would throw a sharpie pen on the floor and she would bat it around. When she was very young, my hands were usually scratched up as she liked to wrestle with my hand as if it were another kitten. She often liked to smell my breath and I always wondered what she was learning about me when she did that. She always responded to my saying "Are you hungry?", pricking her ears up, eyes widening, sometimes running to her bowl (when she was younger).

Chrissy was always there for us, never asking for much, just enjoying being part of the family. She had her favorite spots and although she changed her nighttime spot occasionally, most of our life together, she slept at the foot of our bed, in between my ankles, and that is where I am missing her the most. Imagine the trust she had sleeping night after night in between the feet of a restless sleeper. We both grew confident that somehow, that my subconscience maintained an awareness that she was there, and I never kicked her off the bed. That's where she died, early Sunday morning, in between my ankles.

She had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure in September and at that time, I had already been living with the dread that she was in her final years with us. She became very ill in September, and I prayed for a reprieve, medicine was prescribed and she got better. Then I marveled for three months about how well she was doing and how good she still looked as she approached her 18th year. In the week before Christmas it became increasingly apparent that she was losing her vision. Then on Christmas eve, it became obvious that she was completely blind. This was a concern, but I did not interpret this as a sign that her life was in danger. On the Saturday after Christmas I contemplated taking her to the vet, to get her eyes checked. But it was already noon, the vet office would soon close, I was not feeling great, I guessed it could wait until Monday. Sunday morning, three days after Christmas, I woke, Chrissy was asleep between my feet and reached down to give her a morning pat, and with one touch I knew something was very wrong, the second touch confirmed the worst, and even then my husband and I made a resuscitation attempt as she was still very warm. Then I held her, brushed her and cried for two hours. I always dreaded losing her, but a week later, I now know how hard it is, I never knew I would miss her this much. She was there, offering quiet support and comfort for 18 years and I while I cherished her, I never knew how much until now.

Chubby, 1968

Chubby was my first dog, and grew up with me. She lived to be 17- I was two years old when she came, and a sophomore in college when she died. She had the most trusting and gentle personality, and forever gave me my profound love of animals. It is hard to live without a pet, now, although their loss is poignant and terrifically difficult to bear.

Chuckie, 05/18/04

Chuckie, we were so blessed to have you with us even if for a short time.
You filled that empty spot in our lives with your sweetness and your love.
I will miss your loud purring, nuzzling my head with yours, and sweet kitty kisses.
The kids will miss the way you snuggled under the covers, groomed their hair with your tongue, and snorted as you ate.
We all loved you so much and it is so hard to let you go.
Wait for us and meet us when it's our turn to cross the Bridge.

Chuckie, 02/2001

Chuckie, 11/07/00-08/15/03

I miss you Chuckie boy. I wish so much that I gave you a home. You were such a great boy and just needed a safe, comfortable home where you could have excelled. If I had known what your fate was going to be, I would have come and saved you. I know you feel safe now. Run free and be happy.

Jennifer


Chucky, 06/21/94-12/28/03

Chucky was the friendliest dog, and so compassionate. He always thought of others before himself. He got hit by a car on the highway a few days after Christmas. The roads were icy and the car couldn't stop. Poor dog. The sad thing is the driver of the vehicle didn't stop to let us know, and we had to find him ourselves. How sad.

Sherry McFarlane


Chumley, 08/22/93-05/12/04

To the best buddy ever - you will chase your "Freebee," eat lots of ice cream and snooze in the sun forever in our hearts.
See you at the Bridge someday...

In all my pain and grief I'm feeling at the moment I'm forgetting to send out loving thoughts to our pet chinchilla who has also died, last year. Its not that I don't care and have forgotten, it's just a different feeling of loss, you too were so loved and missed by us all at home, and I hope that you and Dusty, and all our other furry feathered family are all together now and waiting. Love mummy, Lee, Coco, Oliver, Brian, Toni, Chris. Godbless you all. Live and sleep in peace, love and light eternally. XXXXXXXX.


Chyna Burke, 10/28/99-05/04/04

This is in memory of the best friend that anyone could have asked for. We gave you peace from all the suffering and pain that you were going through. That was our final gift of love to you. We miss and love you so, so much Chyna. Until we meet again.

Cinder, 10/30/93-03/06/04

He took any road I traveled. He laid by my side whenever I asked him to. He made friends with any and all the animals I brought into his life. He heroically never showed his pain and kept me from harm. I love and miss his spirit. Cinder will always be in my heart, never to be replaced. I hope he will be happy with my decision to lay his ashes beside his best friend Taz, the dog, who died only two weeks before him. I love you cinder, and your loss is only measured between yourself and myself. Goodbye sweet, sweet boy, I love you always. mama

I kept my promise to a little old white dog, found sick, neglected and abused. Cinderella did live happily ever after. An angel doggie on earth she captured my heart and taught me to always have a special place in my home and heart for an old girl. Run free Cinderella - I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Cindy, 03/27/04

Dear, sweet Cindy

I didn't know you very well. I only saw you a few short times waiting in your cage to be adopted. You were left behind by your family when they moved with your two sisters. They were adopted before you and now it was your turn. All of us volunteers took good care of you, but saw that you were becoming ill. You were too good for this life, I guess, so God chose to take you. Be happy, dear Cindy. You're adopted now by the greatest animal lover there is. Fran Maristch Pet Protection Society


Cindy, 07/04/94-03/14/04

Our dear little angel. I cannot believe that it has been a week since we said our final goodbye. I have not been able to stop crying, and still cannot accept the fact that you are no longer in my arms. My only wish is that I could hold you again. I would do anything. The cancer made your body give up, but it never made your spirit give up. I wish that you were strong enough to eat on your own, but I had to give you syringes of food and water my love. You were loosing too much weight. Since you have been gone, Kiki has been very sad, and looking for you all around the house. She loved you with all of her Tabby heart. I know the vet that assisted us felt very strong about you too my dear. It was very hard for him. We decided to have you privately cremated so that you could be in our house forever. We have some pictures of you, a picture of the rainbow bridge, and your loving spirit in a beautiful urn. It gives me warmth to know that you still sleep with us. The first night of your passing, I got up in the middle of the night and took your favourite blanket downstairs to where you were laying the night before. I cried for hours, but held your blanket the whole time. Mommy and I will never forget you my little princess. You were our life, and things will never be the same until we meat again. Kiki is trying to be strong, but she is very lonely without you here.

Your Mommy and Daddy put a guardian angel, and a cat's prayer to be cremated with you. The angel would always watch over you, and we will always share the prayer.

Until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge,

Love forever,

Daddy, Mommy & Kiki


Cindy, 1970-1984

So much time has gone by, but we are still thinking about you. And laughing at the mischief that you got into...over and over again. You were a beautiful princess, my love. And a child's perfect playmate. Miss you still.

Cindy, 11/14/03

Cindy,
You found us when we went to the pound to adopt a dog. You gave me that look and it was instant love. For ten years you were nothing but the most devoted friend I could ever have hoped for. I will miss you every day for the rest of my life. Toby still looks for you but to help him over his sadness, we have adopted a new little girl named Ellie. She is not a replacement for you but an addition to our family. Some days I am sure you are guiding her because she is starting to act so much like you.
Love,
Moommy


Cindy, 12/17/03

My precious Cindy. I can't believe you fell seriously ill so quickly. I'm filled with sadness and guilt. I know I did what was best for you but, oh, the guilt. Your love and sweetness will reign on in my heart as long as I live! Cindy, you'll be forever missed and never forgotten.


Goodbye Cindy, my special friend -- I hope to see you again.

Your friend, Kim


Cindy Lou, 07/14/84-01/22/02

This very personal Tribute is for my most precious little girl, Cindy Lou. She has been waiting for me at The Bridge for 2 years & 2 months, I miss her so much & when I look at her photos & look deeply into her big brown eyes, it's as though she will jump right out of the photo & into my arms, I still feel so close to her, my heart aches every day for her. Bye Bye Sweetheart, Mommy loves you so much Cindy Lou.


Cindy Lou Bair, 07/04/84-01/22/02

My dearest little girl...I love you & miss you so much, it has been almost 2 & 1/2 years that I have been without you, but I do see you every day, when I close my eyes I can see you looking at me, cocking your little head in bewilderment & you're hearing my heart telling yours that life will never be the same without you, I know that now. We had such wonderful years together didn't we Cindy Lou....remember how you used to lie across the back of my shoulders when I was driving.....you always loved it in the summer with the cool breeze across your back.....going bye-bye always meant treats, like you & I sharing a Dairy Queen or popcorn or hamb. & fries, every place I go Cindy Lou, I see you & your happy little body, your sweet disposition & the closeness that only you & I shared. I hope you recognize Sandy Sue & Cataras Dixie Charm, as you three little girls have so much in common.....I love you all & I always will. Cindy Lou, remember how you used to jump into my lap & stand on your hind legs & put your front paws across my shoulders & we would look into each others eyes, you always trusted me so & I could have never betrayed that trust. And so, my sweet little girl of so many years, please know that never a day goes by without your mommy closing her eyes & weeping because she misses you so much. Bye Bye punkin' face, mommy loves you so. Love, Your Mommy


Cinnamon, 04/25/04

You are greatly missed my little pony boy. Now, you're the spirit in the sky you told me you would be 5 days earlier. I'm glad Jesse was with you when you died. You had your best friend there. You spent 5 great years being the buddy Jesse needed. Godspeed and may you rest in peace until we all cross the Rainbow Bridge and are together again.

Candie


Cinnamon, 03/23/04

As a family we made the hardest decision of our lives yesterday. Our beloved dog Cinnamon had been with us for seven years and was diagnosed a month ago with Cancer. We made the difficult decision to put her to sleep. She was a faithful companion and friend. Our hearts are heavy with sorrow and grief. The only thing that is comforting to us during this time of great sorrow is knowing that she is pain free and waiting to be reunited with us again. We love and miss her more than words could ever express.

Cinnamon, 06/2003

Cinnamon was adopted from our shelter in May 2003. She was adopted by what we thought at the time was a wonderful owner. A month later we got a call about a neglected dog. We went to check out the situation and Cinnamon was completely emaciated....had absolutely no body fat at all. The police got involved and told the owners to start feeding her otherwise after 5 days we were going to step in and take her back. On the fifth day the officer went to check it out and the dog was already gone. Cinnamon was such a wonderful dog and sadly the "owners" got away with cruelty and neglect.

To Marna, Petey, & Billy

We are so sorry for your loss. Cinnamon will always be with you. Just remember she's on Rainbow Bridge now and having fun with all her friends. She's not in the horrible pain that took her away from you.

Hold on to her memory and the love she gave you unconditionally.

Our thoughts are with you.

Cinnamon Angel, 13 Aug 1998 to 1 June 2004

The sweetest, toughest Pet I have known. She faced her illness with a strong heart, never once complaining. All she wanted was to lay in your lap, and she would be perfectly content. Her eyes could melt the hardest of hearts, and bring a smile to everyone who knew her. She will be sorely missed and forever loved

Cinnamon Su, 01/01/85-03/01/04

My precious baby Cinnamon Su was euthanized Monday, March 1, 2004 at the age of 17 years. She was a trooper. Her little 15lb body was tired from Congestive Heart Failure and Kidney Disease. January 01, 1985 my baby was born and I was there. She was my world and my reason for everything I did. She was loved, spoiled and always first. I miss her so terribly. The house is so quiet and lonely now. I so look forward to the day we will once again be together. I will never let go of the memories, her sweet kisses, her special love, her little ticklish feet, her big brown eyes and the little snores at night as she lay beside me, putting her little red coat on in the winter and telling her she looked like little red riding hood. I'll never forget her excitement when I came home and when I went to pick her up at the Vet's and how her eyes sparkled when she saw me. My precious angel, I cry rivers of tears each day, missing you so much. You will always be my special little baby and none will ever take your place in my heart. My darling, mama loves you from the depth of her being and always will. God gave me life when he gave me you and He took my life with your last breath. Watch for me little darling. We will be together again. I love you precious baby girl.

Cissy was always the maternal protector of all 3 of my children, whom grew up with her. Never could hurt a fly, lived in perfect harmony with her 2 cats and doggie sister. She suffered from epilepsy for 5 years and never complained. I am blessed to have had you for 7 years but I will also be selfish in saying that wasn't nearly enough time, there will never be another like you! Everyone who knew her and that's alot, loved her! We love and miss you Wizzer!

CJ, 04/11/91-11/28/02

You were the first, and the most special of dogs that a person could ever hope to have in their lives. This time without you has not lessened the pain of your loss and I feel it daily. The whole family misses you, but you and I had that connection that just happens when you are lucky enough to have a dog like you...I miss you so much my precious precious ruffy dog.

Cari


CJ, 12/04/97-03/22/04

To my best pal ever, I miss you so badly and I love you. You were a wonderful friend and companion from the first day we met. What a sweetheart you were. We sure traveled some tough roads together, didn't we? You were right there next to me every step of the way. Thank you, my friend. See you at the Rainbow Bridge!

Jim McCaffrey


CJ, 07/25/90-04/03/04

Love, joy, enthusiasm, and intense devotion were Claire.
She was perfection in my eyes... a gift from God that became part of me and brought out the good in me. I am so grateful to her for our 14 years together and when the time comes, I long to meet her at Rainbow Bridge.

Erica


Clairie, 05/20/04

To be perfectly honest, I can hardly write this to you without stopping for a tissue break. I really don't want to say it because it means it's real but I guess we all have to face things at one time or another. The past three days have not been easy for me, though for some, it may seem irrelevant, but to me she was my friend and companion for seven years. I had to make a difficult decision and Clairie passed over the rainbow to the other side this afternoon, 20 May 2004 at approx 5:00pm. She suffered from two big illnesses which would have put her through more suffering to cure than was worth the quality of life it would have been. I felt that to put her through this would have been selfish on my part. I received the news from Dr. Raymond regarding her bloodwork. To make her better would have meant a total tooth extraction and more bloodwork and treatment for a thyroid condition. She was losing weight every day. The rest of my day at work was more a slog through mud than any other day I could imagine. When the day was over I went home and cried and hugged her the remainder of the day and night. The next two days were no different. I talked it over with the Doctor and made an appt to release her from her pain. She went peacefully with the wonderful assistance of the vet, Dr. Raymond and his staff here. I was glad to be there with my hands comforting her when she passed on. Mary, a co-worker and friend and wonderful soul was there to support me during this time. Our coordinator, Anita, allowed us to leave early to take her to the vet. At lunch time I was fortunate enough to live close enough to be able to spend our last 'alone time' with each other and say "meow" one last time. I'm not glad to see her go but I am glad to know that she is no longer in pain. Thanks to Mary and Anita, I was able to make this a special moment and honor her spirit. Anita has quite a lot of land that her and her husband, Tony, own. There is a huge wonderful towering walnut tree at the corner of her property. The land gently slopes, from her home, down to this tree. It's limbs reach up and out as walnut trees are apt to do and provide great shade for those beneath. It is dubbed, "The Fairy Tree". There, Anita, hearing that I had no plans for a place to take Clairie because I have no place to take her, offered that spot beneath those branches, as Clairies resting place. Anita even dug the hole the night before. She wasn't able to be there when Clairie was to arrive but she gave us directions and when we arrived, sure enough, there was a space cleared in the ground for her new place directly beneath the tree a few feet from the trunk. It was a beautiful day and Mary had remarked on our way to the hospital that the clouds were so beautiful. It couldn't have been a more beautiful day to be with Clairie. I don't feel that she is gone, I still feel her here but in a different way. I wish it so anyways. There are many others there under The Fairy Tree so she will not be alone. When we lived in the city, I had bought a quilt, it was a double wedding ring but the quilt did not long survive the constant attention of her kneading and pawing to find a comfortable spot. Who can guess at why cat's attach themselves to certain items but she did. A thread here, a thread there and it began to look more like Clairie's favorite quilt rather than my favorite quilt. When we arrived at the clinic, it was quite busy but they soon showed us to a room and I placed Clairie on the table and the quilt to the side. About fifteen minutes passed to allow us time to be together and say goodbye. Dr. Raymond soon arrived and explained the procedure to us and allowed us as much time as we needed. He asked if I wanted more time but I said no. Inside, I wished that I could have more time but I knew that no amount of time would bring us any closer to both of us walking out of there together, so inside I said yes but outside I muffled a no. We had already had our time and now I have our memories. The quilt lay to the side of the table. When Clairie had passed on Dr. Raymond carefully wrapped her in it and carried her out to the car. Clairie was fortunate to have Dr. Raymond and the staff look after her the short time that she visited there. Mary and I drove to Anita's and Tony's property. Once we arrived at the tree I unwrapped her one last time and placed her rubber ball in with her. Mary spoke and said that Clairie was fortunate to have someone who could make this decision for her since she could not have done this instead of suffering on her own. Perhaps with time I will feel that way instead of those words simply making sense. I've never had to make the decision to end a life.

How do you sum up the joy one brings to another in a few words? I feel because of this that Clairie, perhaps, has influenced lives more than my own and in more ways than can be seen in the here and now. It's not going to feel the same alone here in the apartment. I remember when she arrived on a Sunday in January and Clothing Design School began the next day. It took me two weeks to become accustomed to a cat being in my apartment when I wasn't there. If my classwork some how took a wrong turn, or I found myself not present it was only because I was wondering what in the world was Clairie doing while I wasn't there?! Every night for seven years she slept draped across the bed...even though I would wake up in the middle of the night and noticed I had lost all feeling to my legs...it was okay...she didn't mind and I was too sleepy to move. I remember when she first arrived whenever she would hear someone step off from the elevator down the hall, she would immediately turn her ears towards the door, go to the door, stop and sit right down as if anyone would dare challenge her and then let out this low deep growl. I recall being amazed at her behavior as if she was a big cat. Her heart was just as big. She never swatted or bit anyone. If she got annoyed she would just get up and walk off as if she meant to do that or that she suddenly remembered a corner she needed to investigate. She must have been a southern cat in a past life.

How about the time that I was sitting in the living room, she bolted out of the bathroom, where the litter box was, almost hitting the front door, skidding around and racing for the couch. Up on the couch she jumped, ran down it's length with this look of outright terror in her eyes and ears laid back. Jumped across my lap (it didn't really matter that I was eating), down off the couch, ran around a few more times in the living room, looked back behind her, licked her backside a few times and calmed down. I sat up (after subtley catching my attention) and looked closer and there was a string stuck to her butt from the litter box somehow. Poor thang, she thought it was chasing her. I laughed so much because of her. Clairie, I learned from you that many moments when we are afraid that it's just a string. I also learned from you that one should enjoy life one string at a time and laugh and laugh and laugh. She enjoyed sitting and relaxing in front of the window in the City and sitting in front of the screen door here in Ukiah while sniffing the breezes that would blow in through the window. She often chose the most embarrassing moments to have a conversation...for example, while I'm sitting on the toilet. I don't know why but I just felt trapped. She also did not like the computer getting more attention than she was getting. Instead of a chair I use a stool to sit at the computer. Clairie would sit to one side of me and stare...I mean stare at me really good...it was just down right unsettling. I didn't get the message? She would switch sides...last chance because the next thing she did was sit behind me and swiftly plant one of her paws in my backside and run off a distance and meow. This would usually work for her...but sometimes her plan wouldn't quite work out when her claw would snag in my jeans and she would be there yanking and twisting trying to get away. That's usually when I would reach around, place her in my lap so she could then proceed to chase the mouse pointer on the screen.

I met Clairie one day while helping a friend move. We were placing the very last item in the back of the truck. As we were surveying what we had accomplished and I was leaning on the steps and out of the woods she appears. Slinking right up to my leg and purring and looking at me with those beautiful blue eyes...I was hooked. I reached down and she let me pet her. "Is this your cat?" I asked Darin. Darin told me that he fed her and put out food for her but she was here when he moved in a year ago. The people that lived there before him had left her behind. He was going to have to take her to the shelter later. I took the chance and said that I would take her if it was alright. My apartment complex did not allow pets. Perhaps she knew that I had been searching for a Siamese female feline companion for the past couple of months. He brought her to my apartment two weeks later on that Sunday. Darin and I would often throw quotes at each other from the movie Steel Magnolias. I named her after Olympia Dukakis' character, Clairie.

I wish she was here. I want to hear the crunch of Clairie chewing her food during the night. I want to wake up in the morning and find her staring at me from the end of the bed with that look that says. "I want my food. It's morning. Yer late meow!" and waving her tail and gazing at me with her bright blue eyes.

Clairie, I love you,

Charlton


Clancy, 05/01/94-04/12/04

Clancy was such a great dog, but to me he was more than a dog. He was like a brother to me.
There are no words to describe the time that he was with me and how special Clancy was. I will always love him.

Erin O'Connell


Clancy, 02/01/90-03/18/04

The sweetest big baby anywhere - to know you was to love you. You were our best girl, and it just won't be the same without you here. We all miss you so much!

Keith and Nancy


Clancy, 01/30/04

We love you and miss you dearly. Thank you for being in our lives.

Nancy & Patrick


Clarice Park, 06/16/03-01/16/04

Clarice, we didn't know when we took you to the doctor that you wouldn't make it. We were ready to pick you up, bring you home and help you feel better. We thought your procedure was routine and weren't worried.

We were wrong. We know now that 1 out of every 15,000 dogs will react to the anesthesia as you did. We miss you so much everyday and wish we had known.

Thank you for being such a special part of our family. Although you were only 7 months old, you made such an impact and were loved so much. We are hanging in there day by day, but miss your presence. While you are up there, please look out for the two grandbabies on the way; make sure they know of your puppy love before they are born down here to us. We imagine you running in the field behind our home- we know it was your favorite. Every now and then can you rustle the weeds so we know you see us? Be sure to be (a little) nice to the kitties up there. We love you, sweet Clarice. We are all okay, so be at peace.

Kathy, Dana and Family


Claude, 10/97-05/01/04

I miss you so much Claude. There is a huge hole in me that I don't think will ever be completely filled. You gave love so unconditionally; I miss you rubbing your head against my chin whenever I held you. I know that if there is a heaven, you are running and jumping again like you haven't been able to do in the last three months. I love you so much and will never forget you.

Tiffany Braun


Claude, 04/10/04

Claude was a loving, beautiful, and sweet natured cat. It has only been a few days since his passing, and my heart breaks every time I think about him. I know he is in a better place, but my selfishness wants him here with me, comforting me as he always did before. Claude regularly showed his loving behavior by sitting or laying right next to me, purring the whole time, and affectionately pushing his head against my arm or shoulder for me to rub his head and neck. Everyone loved Claude and thought he was a very special cat. But no one loved Claude more than I, and I am so fortunate to have spent the last 5 years with him. I knew the day I adopted him from the APA (at 3 years of age) that there was something very special about Claude and indeed there was, a loving and gentle cat who was always there for me through the good times and the bad times. I miss you Claude and can't wait to see you again one day!!

Love your human Momma, Suzie


Claudia, 12/15/97-11/13/03

Claudia, I miss you every second of the day and night and I can't wait till we're together again.
I love you!

Claws, 01/22/04

The loss of Claws is heart breaking. I know he can walk freely now, without his cancer and we will be together again someday. I love you kitty and will miss you. We grew up together and I know you were waiting until I was all healed to move on.

We will see you on the Rainbow Bridge one day!  
Keep running and playing and touching everybody's heart the way you touched ours!  
We love you, Missy Poo Poo,

Cleo, 06/07/04

Cleo was a loyal, and wonderful companion for nearly 17 years. She will be forever loved and missed by everyone that knew her.
I got her when I was four, we grew up together.
I will never forget her beautiful green eyes, her sleek black hair, or her purr that lets you know she loves you.
I think about her, and pray for her everyday. I love her so much!
Sarah


Cleo, 06/03/04

Cleo, 01/05/90-04/24/04

I really am having a hard time with the death of my pet. She was such a part of my everyday life for 14 years. When the Vet told me that there was nothing they could do and she really needed to be put to sleep, my heart broke...I looked into her eyes told her I loved her and let her go... I only hope that God does have a place for such wonderful companions. Cleo's unconditional love will be missed. It was the hardest choice I have had to make in my life.

Cleo, 02/01/04

My very special buddy and friend Cleo (Little Baby Monkey) passed away from a heart attack in August. I miss her terribly and think about her all the time. She was my best buddy and was always with me. I lost a very special part of my life that day.

My Sweet baby girl, I miss you so much, Rusty and Sabrina not the same since your left us. We are so happy you are not suffering anymore, you held on for us. We love you forever and ever. I am so thankful you stayed in my arms and finally went to rest in peace. Remember me Sweety when I cross that bridge

Cleveland Brownie, 03/29/00-01/31/04

I found my girl at a time when my life was a shambles, she gave me more love and companionship than I ever imagined For the almost 4 years I had Brownie, she was my constant companion and one day after my birthday she fell ill. My Vet a good man was very optimistic about her treatment. Three days later I received a call from the hospital that she had not responded to the transfusion and her condition was worsening by the minute. It was all I could do to go to her side for her final moments here on this earth. I held her as the doctor relieved her suffering and mine as well. It's been five months to the day and not a moment goes by that my wife & I don't miss our little footbal watching Cleveland Brownie. I've not yet gotten to the point where I can even think of adobting another, how can you replace a loved one. I know soon I will find another friend like her but not too soon. I am looking forward to the day that I can be with her and we can go to that open field and chase each other again.

After 27 years in the law enforcement industry, dealing with adversity and tragedy, I am overwhelmed at the fact that my loss is one of the hardest things I've ever experienced. I've had to say goodbye to my mother, brother and two partners that were killed in the line of duty. The death of my friend, "Cleveland Brownie" was just as difficult. I miss her a lot.

Thank you for the opportunity to voice & share my grief, I hope this helps the healing that I need. I know I did the best things for her

I know she's in a better place. I look forward to seeing her again someday. She was the best friend I ever had :-(......

Cloe, 06/10/04

We lost our Cloe just a few days ago. She was such a part of our family - she was with us every step of the way as we raised our two children, with whom she shared a mutual adoration. I almost feel like she felt it was okay to go now, because we had just taken our son to his college orientation and maybe she felt her work was done. We love you Cloe, and always will.

Martha Morrow


Cloe, 04/27/04

It was one of the saddest days in my life, having to burry you in the garden, under the grape vine you loved so much. Beowulf, your cage mate, still misses you.. He snuggles and sleeps with that toy piggies you loved to kiss and sleep with. I hope you have fun playing with all the other rabbits over the rainbow bridge till I can come and get you.

Clyde, you had the spirit of a warrior. You wanted to travel but were stuck with a mom who confined you to the house and yard. So you made your home your nation and loved us and protected us from all! You loved to be petted and gave your all to love. Keep running and playing baby!

Clyde William Hatfield, 1993-12/05/03

To my boy Clyde. I hope you know how you impacted out lives. We had you for over 10 great years and we learned so much from you. Your dad hated cats until he met you. YOU made him understand what the love of a cat will do to a person. You were my first born boy. The apple of my eye. We tried to figure out what was wrong with you but we went doing the wrong path. The vets kept trying to figure out why you were so sick. Once we figured it out it was to late. Your lung cancer had spread and all we could do was spend time with you and love you. I watched you body fall apart your once full figure dwindled away to skin and bones. All I ever wanted was to take care of you and show you love. I failed in taking care of you. You died home alone while we were at work. I hope you can forgive us for not being there for you. We love you very much and I know you were there to help Teddy cross over. He finally gets to meet the big brother we always told him about.
We love you Clyde. You will always be our first born boy.

This morning, my wonderful friend Coco, a black, short-haired cat passed on from a heart attack.

Coco brought joy to the lives of all she touched. She was truly a "special kitty", and the way she left this world seems so unfair because of all she brought to us that loved her. Coco, where-ever you play now, know that we look forward to one day seeing you again, little friend.

Coco, 02/02/03

My anchor, my guardian angel, my greatest friend. You were my most reliable presence, even when all else seemed to be falling apart. The brightest, most open chambers of my heart will always be yours to occupy, and you shall live there as long as I breathe, with enduring love, gratitude, respect and awe. I shall always eagerly anticipate seeing you again. Life will never be as sweet without you.


Coco, 01/01/93-01/06/04

Cocoa, 08/13/89-08/13/01

Cocoa was my best friend. She went everywhere with me and loved to be held like a baby. She was a very special girl that didn't have a mean bone in her body, she only had love to give. Cocoa enjoyed playing in the backyard and laying in the sun. She also loved the winters because she always warmed herself by the fire that my father would make. She was such a dainty little lady that always listened to me when I needed a friend. She loved kissing my face when I became sad and kept me company when I was lonely. My Cocoa will always hold a special place in my heart, as I have not been the same since she has passed. I can only hope for the day that I will see my baby again as I cross the rainbow bridge. Cocoa: I know you are safe with Grandma, Anti Mal, Dexter, Bernie, Ralph, and Buddy. Please look after buddy for me especially :) I love you Cocoa.

Cody, 02/17/91-07/02/04

Sir Codell Windsor Moyock (AKA-Opus): It has only been a few short hours since you left our lives forever. Our hearts are breaking and the house is just not the same without you. I still think I hear your nails clicking on the kitchen floor when I open the fridge door. All the boys are devastated. Derek keeps saying "Cody died". Kyle had a hard time going to sleep tonight because you weren't there to lay at his feet. Pop's heart is aching as you were his best friend in the entire world...a connection that "goes beyond". You even shared the same birthdate. There is no greater love than the unconditional love of a beloved pet and that's what you have been to this family. You came into our lives 13 years ago, many years before our human babies. You will always be our firstborn, Cody, and will always be in our hearts. Thanks for being such a great dog for our family. You were the best there could ever be. I pray for you to be free of cancer and any suffering that came with it. We hope you rest comfortably in your favorite place in the world to be...PA! Say hi to Thena, Gretel, Bridget, Brandy, Gus-Gus, and Britt. Please wait patiently for us...I know we will see you again in Heaven, and what a wonderful reunion that will be. We love you so much Cody, we will miss you!
Your loving family,
Pop Mom Kyle & Derek


Cody aka Patrick / Poppie, 05/08/00-05/25/04

Cody, You were torn from our hearts and our lives so suddenly and so tragicaly, and we can not understand why. Why did you run to the main road, and you didnt see that car coming, and they didn't see you.
You should have had many many more years with us. We miss you terribly, and love you with all of our hearts. The house is so lonely and empty without you. You should be here, underfoot, being my shadow, waiting for goodies to fall on the floor. You were supposed to come out on the boat with us this weekend... "Stinky Patrick", I love you, and all Josh and I do is cry for you. We are going to name the boat "Poppie", for you, my baby.
I ruv roo, Pat, I ruv roo forever.

Cody--you were loved so very much. Our hearts are hurting so badly. even though you weighed 100+ pounds you always thought you were a petite, graceful little lap dog. you were so, so, so sweet. Things will never be the same without you.

Our beloved dog Cody passed away on Wednesday 2/11/04. My husband and I are both so devastated. He went so quickly. Within 2 weeks of the first sign that something was wrong, Cody was gone. On Friday 1/30/04 something strange happened. Cody refused to eat his dinner which in the 10 years of his life had never happened. We knew something was wrong. We took him to our vet and he could not find anything physically wrong with him. (Our vet had run bloodwork previously on 1/21/04 and everything was normal. We actually had brought Cody to our vet on 1/21/04 because he kept having these reverse sneeze type of attacks. Our vet had taken a chest xray and ran bloodtests and everything looked normal). A couple of more days passed and Cody was eating but not like he used to. He was very picky and would not eat his dog food. I was cooking him chicken breasts and mixing it with rice. On 2/05/04, we called our vet and he said to bring him in immediately to have new blood tests done. The results came back and his liver counts were off the charts. That evening our vet told us to take Cody to the Vet Specialty Center because he could not do anything more for him. We rushed him to the VSC and he was admitted. The following morning the vets there did and ultra-sound and biopsies from nodules in his liver and spleen. Later that day we were told that Cody had lymphoma. We were shocked, devastated and of course heart broken. Cody stayed at the VSC until Saturday 2/07/04 and was responding to prednisone. We were able to bring him home that afternoon. Cody seemed to be doing okay for the next couple of days. He was eating and seemed tired but we just thought that was because he just wasn't feeling 100%. On Monday 2/09/04 the biopsy results came in and it was confirmed that Cody had lymphoma. We were crushed. We immediately made an appointment for the following day (2/10/04) to begin chemotherapy treatment. We were told that the chance for a remission was good (85%). He had his first treatment on 2/10/04. We were so positive that we would have Cody for a while longer but that did not happen. On Wednesday 2/11/04, when I arrived home from work, Cody was lying there dead on our living room floor. I had checked on him at lunchtime and he seemed sad. Before leaving to go back to work, I gave him his biscuit and kissed him on his nose and I looked into his eyes and I sensed that something was wrong. I feel so guilty for not staying with him at lunchtime. I should have never gone back to work. He left us all alone and I feel so horribly guilty about this. He was looking for me and I was not there for him. My husband and I are in such pain and confusion. We don't know what happened. Maybe Cody had a toxic reaction to the chemotherapy. We will never know and will always question whether or not we did the right thing. Cody meant the world to us. He was our child and was loved by everyone he came in contact with. Cody was a 97 pound male golden retriever that was the sweetest most friendliest dog in our neighborhood. Everyone loved Cody and Cody loved everyone. He did not have a mean bone in his body. We miss him so much and it will be a very long grieving process. Cody brought such joy to our lives and I hope that we did the same for him. We love you Cody and miss you terribly. The pain in our hearts will eventually subside but will never ever go away. Cody will never be forgotten in our hearts.

Cody, 15/05/00-29/01/04

My Codyboy... what an amazing dog you were. Coming to me as a terrified, abused dog, and giving your life to protect me. The year and a half we had together taught me so much about life. I never thought you trusted me until the vet said you lived for me. We came such a long way together, and I'm a better person for knowing you. You were never mine but brought to me to teach me, to make me listen. You were the most handsome Border Collie in the world. Your time was your time too, though we did all we could. I hope you understand that my decision was based on what was best for you, not for me. You deserved to be at peace, in a place where the balls never stop being thrown and there are plenty of streams and dams for you to swim in. Your girlfriend misses you, I miss you too Cody.... so damn much, it hurts so much. You were what kept me sane in the ten days after we lost Bingo and Joey. Bad things happen in three's but I know that you are all in a better place. I hope that you are taking care of each other. I love you so much my dog. You're the biggest, handsomest dog ever.

My beautiful Cody. Today is January 6,2004 and would have been your 8th birthday. I have been thinking about you all day long. I think about you all the time baby and I am still trying to find out what really caused you to die. I love you Cody and I will light a candle for you tonight in celebration of your birthday and in memory of you. You were one of a kind and I can still feel your presence and all the love you have to give. You will always be with me throughout eternity. I love you Cody and will always miss you.

Cody Alberson, 02/17/91-05/17/04

my little Cody left at a kennel when he was so small and shaking constantly scared to death ... you rode all the way home in my lap ... still shaking ... I held you and loved on you all the way home ... then as time went on you saw that you were my little angel that God sent to me ... you were my precious little boy and you may have weighed only 5 lbs but you were my little protector by barking if someone was at the door ... and staying beside me where ever I was in the house ... then one day you kept coughing and we went to the vet and he said he thought it was your heart and wanted to put you on all kinds of meds .. and I said no and went to another vet who told me what your problem really was, you had some lung problems and they would only get worse as time goes on ... well you did so good for a year ... and almost two months ... we really do not know when you birthday was so we used Gizmo's and celebrated every Feb. ... with a big birthday kiss and hug among other treats ... you always greeted me at the door ...then about a week ago you took a turn for the worse .. we went to the vet and you had been on several medications and your little body was tired ... I layed on the bed rubbing your little head (which you liked ) it would always relax you and off to sleep you would go ... I told you that I loved you with all my heart
and that if you needed to go to rainbow bridge with Gizmo that it was ok with me ... because I know that some day I will see you there ... I am so glad that who ever left you at the kennel did because I had such a pleasure having a precious little boy like you in my family .... I love you always my little angel boy ...I miss you so much ... love always mom

To our little man, you have only been gone a few short hours and our lives seem so hollow. You will be missed beyond belief. Our love for you will never die, and you will remain our little shagster forever. We miss you and love you, Daddy and mommy


Cody Perfect, 08/29/90-03/15/04

Cody came into my life as a Christmas present, one I had seen in a store window but did not buy. Lucky for me, my family went to get her, my own special angel. She was just what I needed and we were together for 13 years. So many pets have shared my life, but Cody was the "perfect" match and so that became her middle name. I miss her so much, and pray she is happy and healthy now. Love you Cody, my best friend, my Souldog.

Cody Silverfox, 04/26/04

Cody was a dog with so much love to give who never met a person who didn't love her at first site. In her big brown eyes they found love that was unconditional. She loved to give kisses to wipe away your pain and an unjudgemental set of ears to hear you problems. She was so much more than a dog she was our little girl, a part of the family that will be missed with every fiber of our hearts. We look forward to being reunited in heaven one day with our little girl and until then we know she will be up in heaven making all the angels smile as she has made us smile over the years. We Love you Cody girl and we know you loved us. God has granted you peace from your pain. I thank God that you no longer hurt and that God gave us such a special furbaby to love and take care of us. We will always love you Cody and you will always be apart of ours hearts.

Coffey, 01/24/04

ONE DAY -- COFFEY

Wherever you are -- I know it's beautiful there because you were.

Wherever you are -- I hope you'll see the family that you loved before you came to us.

Wherever you are -- I know you are running free, down a hill, through the woods and to a lake.

Wherever you are -- I see you running, ears flapping in the wind.

Wherever you are -- the only cold days have lots of snow for you to roll in.

Wherever you are -- when you see snowshoes and cross-country skis, you'll remember running with us and jumping on the back of our skis; and relive the good times we had.

Wherever you are -- you can rest on a pile of warm clothes in the car and lie content by a flaming, crackling fire.

Wherever you are -- there are doggie toys to play with and plenty of squirrels for you to chase.

Wherever you are -- chocolate is good for dogs and there is all the hamburger, chicken and ice cream you want to eat.

Wherever you are -- there will be no need for shots or pills and you will see, hear and be strong again.

Wherever you are -- I won't have to cry when I think I hear your collar jangling, hear you bark, or think I see you beside me.

Because one day we'll run and play; and ride in our boat, your ears flying. Once more I'll stroke your soft fur and pat your funny multi-colored ears as you lay beside me, while you give me all those wet doggie kisses I've been missing.

Wherever you are Coffey, one day I'll be there too.

Cola (My Cola Butt), 03/19/04

No words would ever express the pain we feel for losing Cola. She brought so much joy to us in so many ways. And I need to find the strength and guidance to carry on and know that my decision to put her down was the right one. I don't want to feel guilty, cause my reasons were good, and with the love I have for her, there's no way I would've done it if it was not a dangerous situation to live in. I just ask that whoever reads this please pray for Cola, me and Stacy and Cola's brother for ever who also loves her as much as we do no matter how crazy she was, please ask the angels to bless us all and give us peace.
Thank you

Colin, 04/01/97-01/15/04

Beloved Colin was diagnosed with lymphoma in Sept. 2003 and fought a good, brave battle until he was too tired to fight any longer. He is at peace now, and does not suffer. He was a kind, gentle soul, the kind of special cat you may only have the pleasure of loving once or twice in your lifetime. He now joins many of my beloved pets who have gone before him, but he will never be forgotten.

Colonel, 1991-01/14/04

In Memory of Colonel

Colonel was an 18 hand, 2000 pound Belgian Draft Horse gelding. He was a gentle giant with a heart as big as a mountain. In 2001, I began my search for my first draft horse, and my journey took me to an Amish community in Jamesport, Missouri. The Amish horse trader I spoke to of my needs said that while he didn't have a saddle broke draft in his herd, he did have the Colonel, who he thought would be pretty easy to train. When I first saw Colonel, I knew this was the guy for me. He was 10 years old and had only been used to pull the Amish farm equipment and wagons. He was gentle as a kitten and the elderly Amish fellow offered to try and ride him for me. Not wanting to see him get hurt and since he has so much faith in Colonel, I decided to try him myself. We put brand new tack that he had never worn before in the form of a saddle and riding bridle. He took it fairly well and then I mounted. To my amazement, Colonel walked, trotted and even loped with me like he had always done it! He soon came home to Texas with me.

Over the next almost two years, Colonel and I rode all the time. He would do or go anywhere I asked of him and then some. He was my companion, my confidant and my best friend. Colonel had a heart as big as a mountain and would do anything for me.

Then, on Easter Sunday of 2003, tragedy struck in the form of severe founder in both front feet. He spent a month at Texas A&M trying to get better. I would visit him and find him lying down, not wanting to put his weight on his feet. Eventually, he became well enough to come home and we began a regimen of care for Colonel with the help of my vet and farrier. As time went on, Colonel had his high points and low points, but we thought true progress was being made. Through it all, Colonel continued to do all that I asked him to do, be it taking medicine or getting him to walk, despite the pain in his feet. He never gave up and always held his head high.

Try as we might, we just couldn't make Colonel well. On January 9th, he began to show signs that the pain had gotten worse. Over the next few days, he began to eat less and less and walk less and less, not wanting even to cross his stall from his grain to his hay. By Monday, his proud head, always held so high and mighty, began to droop, and he looked at me with sadness in his eyes. Tuesday, he had laid down and had a hard time getting up, but with the tremendous heart that he had, he did get up for me and ate some. Wednesday morning however, was the beginning of the end as I found him lying down again in his stall when I went in to feed. This time, my friend could not get up, although he did try for me several times. I knew it was time to say goodbye to my friend, but just couldn't make the decision. I called the vet who agreed that it might finally be time to let Colonel go, but told me to take my time and make the decision when I felt it was right. Colonel himself was telling me that it was time to let him go and release him from his pain. As the morning went on, and Colonel continued to lie there in considerable pain, I finally made the hardest decision of my life. Around 10 am, I called the vet and made the decision to let Colonel go.

We were not sure how we would get him out of his stall, being such a huge horse, but Colonel himself solved that problem. Shortly after I made the decision, Colonel pushed himself to his feet for the first time that morning, as if saying he was ready to go. He was in obvious pain, but his heart kept him going for me. He walked painfully out of his stall to the pasture where we would lay him to rest and waited, while his final resting place was prepared. The grave was dug with a ramp so that we could try and walk Colonel down into it and make the passing easier without having to try and lift him in. We didn't know how he would take to the dirt ramp, but once again, Colonel made it easy for me as he had always done throughout our relationship. Colonel calmly walked to the gravesite with me, and after briefly sniffing the spot, simply walked with me down into it. With my wife and the vet following. There was no hesitation on his part. No fear. Colonel was again telling me that he was ready to go. After getting situated, the vet administered the sedative. I held Colonel's head as he began to get sleepy, talking with him and thanking him for all that he had given me.

The final drugs were administered and the end was very quick and painless as Colonel first gently went to his knees and then onto his side. He stretched out as he had always done to sleep at night, and after two deep breaths, Colonel crossed his Rainbow Bridge. I wept for my friend. I wept for my loss. I wept for all the wonderful times we shared and all that he did for me. I wept for all the times we would not share. Colonel was not with me long, but in the short time we were together, this big horse gave me more than I could ever begin to describe. On the evening of Colonel's passing, it began to rain and would rain for three days. I guess the angels too, were weeping, not only for my loss, but also for their gain. I suppose God is a big person, who needed a big horse like Colonel to ride the ranges of heaven.

In speaking about the Horse, the British poet, Ronald Duncan, summed up best what I feel for my beloved Colonel when he said, "Where in this wide world can a man find nobility without pride, friendship without envy or beauty without vanity? Here: where grace is laced with muscle and strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent; there is nothing so quick, nothing less patient." This was certainly an apt description of my Colonel.

Farewell, my friend. Now you can walk and run in green pastures, with no pain nor hardship. You will forever be my friend and in my memories. One day, I will join you and we will be together again.

God speed, dear Colonel. Farewell.

Tim Manson

Comet, 08/01/86-05/21/04

Comet was with us from when I was 7 years old, and died on Friday, at the ripe old age of 18. He was a constant part of our lives. He loved people food, and cat food. He was always wanting to eat. It was his favorite thing, even on his last day. He was king of the castle, and was regularly called "Your majesty." He went peacefully at home, surrounded by his family, and assisted by our kind vet.

Comet, we loved you so much and you've left a terrible emptiness in our lives and hearts. We'll never forget you little man.

Margaret Johnson


Comet, 05/05/04

Comet, we found you as a stray little kitten 15 years ago when we first arrived in Lexington. You were found on Maxwell Street in the downtown area, and from that day on we referred to you as "The Prince from Maxwell Street". You were such a thin little guy, but you loved to eat and soon became a handsome cat. Dr. Mills often said you could have been on the Friskies commercials. You initially were tutored by Miss Kitten. She took you under her wing and taught you how to stop half way down the steps in the morning to get petted on the head and down your back. All of your life, you would escorted someone down the steps, expecting them to pet you as a reward. One of your favorite spots to sleep in your younger years was the front room couch--just like Miss Kitten did. You often got into trouble when we brought home groceries; always snooping into the bags and if you were lucky and found the meat, you'd bite into the package. We came up with the phrase for you that went "My name is Comet. It starts with a C but ends in a T and that stands for trouble." Oh how you loved cheese too! You were Bob's cheese buddy at night, meeting him at the front door and following him down the hall to the kitchen, meowing loudly until he gave you some American cheese. We have renamed that cheese in your honor now calling it Comet's cheese. You were Tiger's best buddy. The two of you would spend your days together -- watching the birds from the back porch, napping in the chair, or just resting together as the sunshine shore through the living room windows. Tiger arrived at the Rainbow Bridge first and we know you are there with him (and Hajji) now. Comet, you always helped with our foster care kittens from the shelter. In their eyes, you were like a grandfather cat allowing them to come up to you and play with your flag pole tail. You never hissed once. In recent years, as you slowed down, Heather nicknamed you "Old Man". Remember as a kitten how you climbed the grass wallpaper in the hall? You grew old gracefully. Oh how you loved to sit on Fran's lap at night, watch T.V. and be petted. Bob and I will always smile when we think of how you accepted all the dogs in the family as if they were part of your pride. Hajji, Skeeter, Schnook, and little Tucker made you (the only cat in the household) an honorary dog, part of their pack. You so enjoyed lying next to Tucker on the pad at night, even while Tucker chewed his rawhide chew. That was a sign that the dogs truly accepted you as one of their own. Comet, it was high blood pressure and kidney disease that took you from us so quickly. Dr.Ross was your friend; he so gently cared for you for so many years and in the end, he helped us give you peace when your body experienced that final stroke. Dr. Ross said that you and Tiger were like brothers even though you didn't come from the same litter. We thought how true a statement that was. Comet, we will always love you and carry you in our hearts. You will never be forgotten for you gave us so much joy and happiness in the 15 years we shared together. We know that you are with Tiger and Hajji in God's loving arms. We will see you again when God calls each of us home. Until then, always remember that we love you. Your loving family--Fran, Bob, Heather, Jon, Cuddles, Sugar Plum, Skeeter, Tucker, and Schnook.


Comet, 08/08/90-05/03/04

Hello... 9 years ago my husband and I adopted Comet from the Michigan Greyhound Connection. Today, sadly, Comet moved on from this life.

Comet had been suffering some neurological problems which weakened his hind legs to the point he could no longer stand. Knowing Comet and his love of life, we knew he could no longer live like he used to. It was the hardest decision we ever had to make, but we decided to help Comet move onto a more comfortable place.

We clearly remember the first time we laid eyes on Comet, standing in the backyard of his foster parents home. He seemed as big as a horse! He was beautiful!! Getting Comet used to his new life with us was difficult at times, but we worked through all of it and it was well worth the effort.

Sunny days like today will remind of us of how he used to lay in the grass in the backyard. His bed will remind us of how he used to roll over on his back to have his tummy rubbed. His blanket will remind us of how he used to stand in the doorway of the dining room and cry until one of us put him to bed and tucked him in at night.

In some ways we feel a bit guilty because Comet gave us far more than we ever gave him. He was truly a great dog, and an even more amazing soul.

We will miss him with all our hearts.

Paulette & Rick Mills


Comet Baby, 04/13/91-06/10/97

Wow. Comet was a perfect little angel and then again he was full of devil. Always enjoyed time out jumping and bouncing about...or trying to sneak another treat. He is loved lots and missed ever more, he was such a fun rabbit that was so pretty too. Our numero uno. Love ya

Comie, 05/26/04

Thank you for coming into my life and giving me the love you had to give. The day I got you from the shelter was a day of salvation for me as much as for you. Your little body just could not fight off the cancer any longer. Tell Dallas and Candy and Buggy hello for me. They'll be meeting you at the Bridge. You'll like them. You are forever in my heart.

Commander, 02/11/93-05/30/04

Commander, we love you, and will never forget you, you old crinkle-ear cowboy. Especially, your little girl, Moe, is heartbroken over having lost her little lap cat. We know that you are in heaven with Warge, Samantha, Squealer, Heidi, Buster, Tiki, Brownie, Wainey, Patches, Mieilo, Fibber, Sam, Pug, Tom, and all our animals who were not merely pets, but family. Our Lord Jesus has made you strong, and sleek, and restored you completely to health. We trust in Him to keep you in His loving care until we see you again, and we know that He will, in His time, mend the hearts that were broken over your passing yesterday. Happy trails, 'Mander ... 'til we meet again. All our love, Moe (Little Miss), Dad (Big Sir), and Mom (Ma'am).

Conner, 12/18/00

To my sweet boy Conner, who died so young.

I miss you everyday little one, and I am so so very
sorry for putting you in the Danger that took your young life. there is not a day when I don't cry just thinking about how painful your death was. not being able to hear made it that much worse. OH how I wish I could take that day back. my little shadow, you love to just be with me and I let you down. I never even thought what would happen when I left for work that horrible day. I can still hear the phone call from my friend when she found you. I had to come home early from work, my heart was broken in a million pieces. I will never forget you my little buddy. I am crying again just writing this. I hope when we meet again at the bridge, you can forgive me. It was my fault that you died so young. And I wasn't there to protect you.

+REST IN PEACE MY LITTLE CONNOR+

Mommy loves and misses you so much.


Connery, 02/04/02-04/14/04

Sideways Glances
(because I still see you sometimes,
out of the corner of my eye)

Sideways glimpses of you
A flicker of red-tan fur
Out of the corner of my eye

That happy glint in your eye
Tail wagging in a circle
As you see me coming

Smiling at me
Glad I'm home
Such unconditional love

Your happy muzzle soft and furry
Brushed up against my arm
Begging for a scratch

The heat of your body snuggled
Against me on a cold night
Comfort in the dark

Following with warm dark eyes
Total devotion and love
Everywhere I go

How I'll miss you
My forever friend.

In memory of Connery
2/4/2002 - 4/14/2004

She was a special bunny with so much love in her. She gave us joy when there was so much sadness in our lives.
I needed her more than she needed me.
She died in my arms. I will never forget you and I will always love you.
Till we meet again someday.
Love Mommy

Cookie was an 11 year old female austrailian shepard, whom i was given when she was only three or four months old. The previous owner didnt want her, and had paid someone to shoot her for him. I found out about this and took her in. We spent many happy years together, she was great with my children, my new wife and stepdaugther, and even adopted their little female chihua hua. cookie had a cough all spring which after two vet visits was diagnosed as allergies, once not even diagnosed, just given a cure all pill. now four months later, she suddenly starting panting heavily, and couldnt even get up without great exertion. after being admitted in the vet hospital, and under a vaporizer to break up the coating in her lungs, the diagnosis was pneumonia, and after being given a lasex shot to dry up her lungs. ive was told by the vet she may not make it, and that the morning will tell, please include her in your prayers as she has been a goood good dog, and a great blessing to this family Cookie passed away before morning even came, and our family misses her dearly, she'll neve be forgotten

Rescued from a life on the streets for a wonderful life indoors...taken from me a day before her 4th birthday, she will be greatly missed but never out of my hearts. I love you my sweet little Cookie...mommy

Cookie, 05/05/01-01/24/04

Cookie was a great pal and my best buddy. He loved to run and chase anything that was moving but especially birds. Everybody was his friend and every other dog was his pal. In his short life he never growled or showed his teeth, he didn't know how. Words cannot express how much I miss him.

Cookie,

You will ALWAYS be Sis, Dad and Mom's baby girl. Our home will always be Cookie's dog house. And most of all, you will live in our hearts forever.

Love,

Sis, Dad, Mom and Buns too!


Cookie Lynn, 06/02/95-11/21/03

She was so sweet and loving...always waiting for me at the door right where I would leave her. She was my shadow everywhere in the house; she always knew when I was sick or sad and would try to comfort me. I miss you, Cookie. No one can ever take your place.

Cookies 'n Cream, 09/22/99

Cookie-
You were the foundation of my life. After Josh passed on, I wasn't sure how I would live. But then you came into my life. You, my precious baby. You lit up my life and took my mind off my previous loss. Thank you for all you did for me, I will miss you!

Cooper, 09/28/95-04/07/04

Cooper you were more than a pet, you were a beloved "child" and our heart is broken. We can't stop crying. Everywhere we look we see your sweet face, wagging tail and your boundless enthusiasm chasing those tennis balls. The house is too quiet. We look forward to seeing your beautiful face and wagging tail in heaven where we will meet again. WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW!!! We know you were sick and you had to go, we hope you don't have to ever feel pain again. we love you, love mom and dad

Cooper, 03/18/04

Cooper was my very best friend. He blessed me with a little meow whenever I sneezed. If I was ever down, he knew how to pick me up. He was my shadow and helped me with anything I did. I will NEVER forget or stop missing him.

Cooper- I love you buddy!!

Cooper Moeykens, 03/12/97-12/14/03

Our desire to get a new dog shows how much you meant to us, Coopie.
We remember you every time we go on one of your favorite walks and whenever we find one of the your millions of toys you stashed around the house and yard.
Every time we drop a piece of popcorn on the floor or have bacon with breakfast.
We wish you could have gotten to know your little brother Mathew better so we'll keep pictures of you playing with him to show him when he's older.
We love you and can't wait to see you again.
You're a good boy, buddy!

Libbie & Chris

Copper, 03/18/04

Proud, brave, smart stray that came to live at our home approximately 8 years ago, he stayed at the neighbors for 2 years prior before choosing ours as his home. From where he came no one knows, but he was an adult dog at that time and had been someone's dog as he always got excited when a rifle was taken out. He loved to hunt and would kill a snake in a minute if called on to do so. He became deaf, blind and finally so weak he could not continue. He was always careful and called out when needing to go outside. We carried him in and out for the last 3 months, allowing him to take care of his business on his own. So today it was our responsibility to see he left with some respect. We will miss him terribly, but I know if God needs help with the unruly in Heaven Copper will be there to take care of them. We were blessed and so was our neighbors for 10 years with his presence.

you will always be my puppylupagus. Me and daddy love you so much. We miss you puppy boy.

I will see you again!!!

Corky, 07/26/91-04/24/04

Corky was a wonderful dog who lived with me until I had a baby, and he decided he wanted to be number one so he lived with my Mom. He was so happy in life. He loved people, but he loved his own space too... (don't we all!) CHF got him in the end, but he fought it with a fierceness that only a Shih Tzu can. Goodnight my little Super-Doo I will meet you at the Bridge!

Rosie Strickland & Libby Shoaf


Corky, 04/07/04 Camera Icon

Corky, I can't believe you're gone. You have been in our family for 14 years. You were very special to everyone and we will all miss you and your hugs. We love you Corky. You are gone, but will never be forgotten.

Cori


Corky, 02/25/04

You were sadly neglected I regret not taking you with me when I moved. But she would not let me and she selfishly kept you. I hope you are in heaven with Blue he is very sweet and will be your buddy.

Corky, 01/19/89-02/13/04

The most dedicated , loyal and loving pet that I was proud to know and will never forget. My best friend.

Corky, 04/01/81-12/29/03

Oh how I miss you, my best friend, Corky...
I wish there was more I could have done to take your pain away. Please forgive me for being selfish and subjecting you to more and more doctors. I just couldn't let go yet...But that Monday, when I cradled you and you rested your precious face on my arm, I knew it was finally time. Although my heart ached and my tears flowed for what I knew was to be inevitable, I also knew you were exhausted and wanted relief. You were so courageous Corky... enduring so much during your illness, never a whimper...never a tear. I hope one day I can be blessed with even half the strength you possessed during your lifetime. Ozzie misses you so much and Nollie is lost without you to cuddle with her. Our home, our lives, nothing will ever be the same without you Corky. We love you!

JJ


Corky, 04/15/03-01/12/04

Dearest Corky kitty, the weight of my sadness is unlike anything I have ever experienced...it's hard for me to imagine life without you, my handsome, furry prince. if my heart suddenly stopped beating and my soul departed, I would be overjoyed knowing I might see you again. I suppose it's the weight of such a heavy heart that's throwing my thoughts into the darker caverns of my mind. like fingering a wound again and again, I replay the moment when I first found your sweet little beat-up body in the blood-reddened snow...

you were my little friend - the one reliable thing in a storm of uncertainty...

all I can do is grieve and hope that such a special soul will remember me and know how much I love him...

Cornelius, 09/21/98-05/04/04

Cornelius: Amusing, smart, attentive, loyal, brave, gorgeous, kind, loving. I called him Angel Boy. Now he is an angel for real. Taken from me too soon. I know that he is at the rainbow bridge waiting for his mommy. I hope that he is eating all of the cheese & peanut butter he wants up there. I hope that he can sit in a window any time he wants, gazing at the birds & the sunshine. I hope that the sun shines every day at the rainbow bridge. I hope that he gets to run in the grass & feel warm breezes on his beautiful hair. I hope that he has made some friends there to keep him company. I hope that we will be together again one day when I am called up to go. I love him, and will always love him. There is a big hole in my heart & in my life without him. I will miss him every day. I love you Cornelius! Your Mommy.


Corona, 05/01/92-01/26/04

To a such a happy lovable companion - may you be at peace You will always be remembered as a happy go lucky lab!! We will miss you and never forget your happy wagging tail!!

Cory (Mai-Laur Cornelius), 10/31/89-03/15/04

You are locked in our hearts forever. We will never forget you and will always remember your magnificent courage and dignity.

Love, Mom, Dad, Heather, and Dutch


Cory, 08/15/00

He was the last of his line, and the best of his kind. A bi-eyed clown and a gentleman, with the warmest heart and winning ways. He loved green beans so much, he'd pick them from the garden! He loved other dogs, people and a party - we had a wake for him that he would have loved. He'll never be replaced, but will ALWAYS have a part of my heart. No more words could ever do him justice, but it's good to know he'll be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.

Sandy


Cosmo, 01/26/04

Dear Cosmo, Thank you for giving us great joy and happiness. We will never forget your final struggle for two weeks and we know you are the winner. We will hold you again on the rainbow bridge. Our precious furball, Cosmo, we love you forever. SEIJI and NAOMI


Cosmo, 01/13/04

I love & miss you so much Cosmo. My heart aches. Does this pain ever go away? I doubt it. I wish I had caught your disease (hyperthyroidism) earlier, if you had been treated sooner, perhaps you would still be cuddling with me in bed. I miss you sooo much.

Chris MacPhail


Cosmo, 05/01/94-01/13/04

Words cannot begin to describe the inner light that you held within your tiny body. Your soul was too immense for the confines of the little bird body it was trapped in. You are free now. You are free to fly with Bright Eyes for endless days on end. I hope that you take the time to visit grandma during your journeys. While you are exploring your new home, please think of me often. There will not be an hour when I do not think of you. I love you with all of my being. You represented everything pure and right with this cruel world. Until we meet again, I will miss you: Cosmo Leon Smitherman Ulysses Rutherford Woolsey. Fly away, Pookie.
Love,
Daddy, Mommy, Tippy, Chloe, Taco, Lee Wah, Poochie, and Stimpy.


Courtney, 06/12/04

My Dearest Courtney - for 17 years you have been faithfully by my side. You have loved me totally without reservation even when I didn't deserve it. There is a light missing from our lives, and I can't imagine the rest of my life without yout. Please save a place for me where you are. Find Dad and Don, they will guide you. I love you and am diminished by your loss. Enjoy your freedom, I'm sure they have tuna there.

Gail, Paul, Sam, Lily, Dewey, and Clara


Courtney, 11/25/90-12/29/03

Courtney was my best friend for 13 years. She was by my side thru a divorce, remarriage and several cross country moves. When I had no one else in my life, I had Courtney. May she rest well and feel no more pain.

Cow, 04/21/04

Cow the Cat was a wonderful friend and companion over the years--he was a gentle, fun, funny, communicative, and loving cat. I'm glad you were a part of my life, Cow. May the Force be with you, Cow, now and forever.

Dina Schendzielos


Cozette, 04/24/04

She was a sweet princess that came into my life by chance. Thankful everyday that she found us. I miss her little tail that when it wagged, it looks like she's wiggles her butt. And her little howl. it was her singing..she'd do it when I was in trouble with her or where have you been. I miss her laying on the floor pretending to sleep until I walk by and she lefts her leg up for me to pet her tummy. There's so many things I miss about my Princess Cozette. But manly I just miss her. Even though it pains me so much that she's not with me anymore I know she's playing with Toby right now. She was heartbroken when he passed away in 98. So I know that she's happy now with Toby and waiting for me someday.

Erica Huston


Crackers, 02/20/04

Crackers,

I'm feel so sad that you're gone. I was trying so hard to tame you, since you were a feral, stray cat that didn't seem to have been around humans much. I offered you food, water and a dry place during this past 4 and 1/2 months. I didn't want you to be cold. I didn't want your poor paws to be cold. I didn't want you to be hungry or thirsty. You were really skittish at first around me but then soon began to trust me. You let me get near you to pet you, rub your belly, kiss you on the head. You loved to be patted. You loved to be kissed and cuddled. You just wanted love so badly, I know. You became so affectionate towards me, so sweet and loving.

I will miss your sweet little face. I will miss seeing you at my front door, wanting to be fed, held and cuddled.

I'm so sorry that you've past. I feel so bad that you got sick, I didn't want you to suffer. It hurts me so much to think that you suffered. I'm sorry I couldn't have been there to help you sooner. That night when I knew that you were out there somewhere, sick and suffering, it hurt me so much. I cried all night. I wish I had brought you in, even though you wouldn't allow me too, you were feral and would go crazy when I would try. But, this night might have been different because you were sick. I feel so bad I'm so sorry you had to stay outside alone, you had to suffer alone. I hope you forgive me. I'm so sorry. I miss you so much. I'm so sad that your not here. I want you back.

Jennifer


Crackers, 03/09/04

I love you so much baby and miss you so much!

Catherine Sherman


Cream, 08/01/01-02/16/04

My darling Cream. I loved you so much. I am so sorry. I hope I did what was best for you. I just hope that you know how much I loved you and that we all miss you so much. I don't know how to get on. Everything has stopped. You were my baby. I cannot believe that you will never again meet me at the drive way and that I will never again hear you purring. It just isn't fair. You were the world to me my darling Creamilim. I just can't be strong. You are missing and everything is wrong. I just don't know how to live without you my darling. Sleep tight my darling Cream. I love you baby.

Pernille


Creampuff, '97 or '98

Creamsicle, 05/12/04

We only had this little orange canary we called Creamsicle or 'little bird' for a year but he brightened my life every day. Today I had to let him go as he was suffering and I will miss him always as I do all my beloved pets. Thank you little one. Love you Forever.

Liz Jones


Creed, 01/27/01-04/01/04

My baby girl, what am I going to do without you? My heart is broken. I'd give ANYTHING to have you back. I love you so much. The only blessing is that you didn't suffer.

Tawny Leste-Carlson


Cricket, 03/06/04

Cricket was the most beautiful dog I had ever seen. She liked to be chased and rubbed on the belly. She was my best friend and I cried so much the day she was put to sleep because she couldn't feel anything in her back,

Julia


Cricket, 05/01/98-02/16/04

Cricket a.k.a. princess, squirmy, funny bunny, pookie, love, and pretty baby and she'd answer to them all. Her life started out uncertain and was turned around by a good home for which she was treated like a princess. From a scared little cat to a spoiled sweet girl. Cricket you are and will be missed. We Know you are in a better place now. Mommy will bring lots of milk rings to play with when we meet again. I love you princess forever. Love, Mommy


Cricket, 01/03/90-01/03/04

Our "Pookabear" Cricket blessed us with 14 years of love that new no limit. Our house is so quiet without your bark and patter of you tiny feet. We miss you so much. You will forever be in our hearts and we will see you again one day. Love Mom, Dad, and Teddy do-do.


Crickett, 12/25/01-04/10/04

Our Little Crickett:
We will not forget you, your little pawprints will forever be in our hearts! I know there's a reason (perhaps a lonely little angel boy or girl} so we are trying to smile through our tears. Just remember us when we get there and come wait by heavens gates. We love you Momma Kathy and Papa Darrell


Cricket -Wojtowicz, 01/00/85-02/15/04

Cricket came to me when she was 13. I had no idea I would grow to love her and her scratchy little Siamese voice so very much. She was a persistent, lap-loving, grand ole gal and we miss her so very very much.

Meredith M. Boyd


Crisy, 02/06/04

My cat Crisy is a very, very special cat. I have always considered her to be my child. She showed me more love, comfort and loyalty in our 18 years together than I ever could have imagined. We were always together until finally cancer invaded her lungs and I had to make the painful decision to let my baby go. I miss her terribly, but I just pray that she is happy and healthy now. She will forever live in my heart.
To my baby Crisy,
Thank you for the unconditional love you gave me for almost 19 years. I am so sad without you. The house seems empty with you not here. I miss everything about you, especially how you would always lay on me and look lovingly into my eyes. I am so sorry that I had to make that very painful decision to let you go, but I couldn't bear to see you suffer. Someday we will be together again. We love you baby.
Love, Mommy and Daddy


Critter, 03/18/04

He was a loyal, fuzzy little dog who loved playing with and cleaning his soft toys, running through the grass, naps on my lap or next to me (Lindsey) on the couch, and begging for scraps by putting on his cutest expression or by dancing on his hind legs (worked every time). He was put to sleep when his head was too heavy to lift and his sickly body finally robbed him of the activities he loved. He will be missed but we know that the life he had with us was often visited by sickness and the place he's in now will never let him know any sort of pain again.

Lindsey and Judy Lantz


Crystal, 05/01/88-03/27/04

I just want to say on Saturday 3/27/04, I lost my life, my best friend crystal. She as the best. I couldn't ask for a better pet. I want to thank God for brining her into my life and giving me 16 wonderful years with her

Gary Harris


Crystal, 02/20/90-02/18/04

My best friend, and faithful canine companion, Crystal took ill this past Monday during the early morning. She seemed to have a very bad virus of intestinal infection. She had lost control of her bodily functions and was profusely throwing up. I called in sick to work so I could care for her. I took her to the vet on Tuesday and she was given an anti-spasm shot, penicillin, and a re-hydrating fluid that I gave her every hour at home as I tried to nurse her back to health. She began to look better during the night, but this did not last. Wednesday morning her doctor called and told me that she was in kidney failure. I took her to her doctor's office to help her to pass over at 1PM Wednesday, February the eighteenth, two-thousand and four. May God rest her precious soul.

Heaven will only be heaven for me with my animal companions there. I stand on Ecclesiastes 3:19-21 :

"19 For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other; man has no advantage over animal, for all is vanity. 20 All go to one place: are from dust, and all return to dust. 21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of animal, which goes down to the Earth ? "

This scripture states "Who Knows and it is due to man's vanity that we put ourselves above God's other creatures".

I know with all of my heart and soul that my Crystal still exists in the Spirit realm and that I will be united with her when I pass over. I know that she is once again young and healthy. I know that she sees me and knows that I will come to be with her when my time arrives to go to heaven.

My Crystal was the best dog that ever walked this Earth. She was my heart song and I thank God for the time I had her in my life. She brought me joy and comfort and I will always love her.

Crystal's mommy - Karen O'Dwyer


Crystal, 10/16/89-01/05/04

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me...I'll meet you when my chores are through...I don't know how long I'll be...but I'm not going to let you down..Crystal wait and see...and between now and then, til I see you again...I'll be loving you... Love, Me


Crystal Marie, 1984-12/00

Cubby aka Cupboard, Cubchub, Cubaroo, 07/03/85-09/16/03

When Cubby was born Spirit his mother placed him between my wife and me, it was quite a joy to see him. We first called him lemon drop cause of his bright color. When he started to explore and sleep in the cupboards we changed his name to cubby. WE had him for 17yrs.not long enough. Only thankful for the time we had him. He used to like to sleep under Maureen's armpit for years. Unlike a lot of cats he liked to have his paws played with or rubbed. His kidneys started to fail so we had him on fluid treatments he also suffered from hypothyroldism. Cubby finally had enough of the treatments so we took him off of the fluids and special diet he was on and let him live out his last days. He let us know he was ready we stayed with him when his doctor put him to sleep. he had a very serene look about him when he passed. Cubby had a younger brother named Bear who passed 5mths latter. we miss Cubby very much.

Cuddles (aka Baby Girl), 01/93-06/09/04

My sweet Baby Girl...I have no words to describe the pain that I am feeling right now. I just lost you less than 24 hours ago and had very little warning that your condition was so serious. When you came into my life on January 16, 1995 you made my life brighter. You had already been abandoned by your previous owner so were nervous about your new home. In no time at all we fell in total love with each other. You made it through a lot over the years. When you fractured your pelvis in 1998, I nursed you back to health when most doctors didn't believe you would survive. You were strong and determined to make it and you put up a good fight! Now, you were faced with heart failure and there was just nothing left in you to fight it. We tried our best and you attempted to hang in there, but in the end you couldn't.

Baby Girl, I MISS you and LOVE you VERY much. I am feeling so much guilt for the way things turned out and for the events that unfolded over the last few days. I hope you know that I was always there to be your protector and to keep you safe, I never wanted anything bad to happen to you. Your death yesterday was my worst nightmare. I still know in my heart that you didn't need to die yesterday, you should have had more time. I will NEVER forgive myself for the things that I did or did not do, that played a role in the outcome of this situation. I hope that some day you will be able to forgive me for not being able to save you, I tried to do everything that I could. Your Mom loves you so, so much. My life will never be the same without you. My heart has a great big hole in it and won't be easy to mend. You touched everyone who ever knew you. With your sweet demeanor, your loving meow, your desire to always seek attention, your need to always be around people and cuddle up with them, and to be loyal to me. You were my great companion for the last nine years, we have been through so much together. It is a shame it had to end so soon and like this. I can't get the horrible memories of your death out of my mind. I keep replaying them over and over again. I haven't slept, as every time I close my eyes I am troubled by sad thoughts of you and with anger toward myself. I want you to know that I am SORRY, SO SORRY! I truly LOVE you and always will, I just hope that you died in my arms knowing that and that you know that now.

I miss you and I love you! Love, Mommy (Sasha Ness)

XOXO

Dear sweet little Cuddles, you will be sadly missed!

Cuddles, 07/10/00-04/12/04

Cuddles loved people and had to give a kiss to every one that knew her. she was very intelligent. She would sit up in front of my husband when she wanted to go out. If she was doing something ,he would spell out and she would run up to him and start to dance around. He would take her in his truck and she would sit beside him a look around.

She was a gift of love

We love you, Cupcake. You passed away so fast. Thank you for the times we had together--your squeaks, and popcorning, your snuggles. I'll miss being with you in the kitchen when I'd be cooking. We love you, sweetie. Remember, you're my little angel.
Love, Mommy


Cupid, 07/2000

Gone like the wind

I loved you with all my heart
and I gave everything for you
and what you gave me in return was love
and that cute look in your eyes

But now you´re gone
gone like the wind
I wish I could bring you back
´cause you were like the world to me
and no one else could ever take your place

Why did you have to go
when I wasn´t there to show
all the love I had for you
couldn´t you just wait for me
a few more days, maybe a week

But now you´re gone
gone like the wind
I wish I could bring you back
´cause you were like the world to me
and no one else could ever take your place

All my days are gray
I can´t see the sun no more
people that go by
are all a big blur to me
and I don´t keep track of time
´cause to me the world does not exist.

´Cause you´re gone
gone like the wind
I wish I could bring you back
´cause you were like the world to me
and no one else could ever take your place

Just one sign
is all you had to show
show and I had tried
tried everything possible to stay
stay here in this world with you.

But now you´re gone
gone like the wind
I wish I could bring you back
´cause you were like the world to me
and no one else could ever take your place

When I was down
you´d always come
come and try to comfort me
and you always were the sun in my life
But now that you have gone
gone and left me here
in this world without you
I don´t know if I can bare
bare to live on like this.

Our Cupid came into our lives as a pup and loved us with all his heart. He was a wonderful, fun loving Pup who, even though large, always thought of himself as a lap dog. He had an Angel on his chest and now he has joined the Angels in Heaven! We are all in shock and miss him terribly, even Puppy Brother Ripley, keeps searching for him. It was a terrible accident, PLEASE forgive me Cupid~~You will live in our hearts until we are together again one day! Sweet Dreams Pup, thank you for touching our lives in such a special way!

Mike, Cindy, Ripley

Cupid was the best dog ever! I got so used to him waking me up every morning for work that now I find myself waking up late. Oh, and those good night licks on my face. He was ever so smart and just wanted to please. God take good care of him. I miss him terribly!

Cupid, 01/07/04

My Cupid was born with a white heart on the top of his head.
He was given to me after the loss of another pet, and I have always believed that heart was a sign that he was meant to be with me.
I am amazed by how much he loves me, not loved as I believe that special bond will go on.
I miss him terribly and I love him with all MY heart.

Curby, 06/2000-01/22/04

To my beloved Curby who suddenly passed away on January 22, 2004. He was our first kitty and was a beautiful black cat that we found on the side of the road. We cannot begin to explain the sense of loss over this. I know he is in kitty heaven in Rainbow Bridge. He will be sorely missed every day. God bless you, Curby.......Love, Mommy


Curie, 11/01/95-02/13/04

To my best friend.
I will always think of you when I see white daisies.

Curly brought alot of love and laughter into my life.

Curly Howard, 01/26/94-12/04/03

I was with him the day he was born, to the day I found out his was crippled and his breeder wanted to put him to sleep. I worked with his leg to try to heal him so she would let him live. No one wanted him...but me. I was given Curly around 6 months of age b/c he was of no use for a show or breeding facility. Through the years of difficulty with his hindered leg, he never let it bother him. I only wish he could've lived beyond 9 to what his breed estimates, about 14. He will be forever missed.......

Curry, 12/30/88-04/10/04

My best friend for over 15 years, who has seen me through so many changes in my life, including recent illness. I wish I could have kept you with me longer, but I was so afraid of your deteriorating, suffering, further. Don't know where to find strength to go on, except in the memory of you. Love you. H


Curtis, 01/14/94-01/09/04

Rest in peace dear friend.

Cyclone, 09/01/94-04/08/04

Cyclone, the Dalmatian, was a gorgeous, happy and intelligent dog. He was my constant companion. I can not bear to be without him, except for the belief that I will see him again in another life. He was an outstanding dog and companion who is missed by many.

Patricia Peterson


Cyclone, 12/23/03-04/12/04

Cyclone was a sweet beautiful black beauty, we named him that because he would run around and in circles all the time, he had such energy and was a constant clown. He would wake me every morning with kisses usually to my lips. I miss him so much, it hurt is unbearable. This is the 4th one we have lost since Oct. and one of the youngest. I hope he doesn't blame me, I hope he knew I tried and his other 4 legged family members are looking for him. God speed Cyclone, you are in good hands, your bridge brothers and sisters welcomed you with open paws and eskimo kisses. Watch over us, especially your Daddy, you 2 were so close. You took a piece of my heart when you left this earthly plane. Kisses little man
Your broken hearted Momma, Nance


Cypress, 10/12/93-02/17/04

The Warrior that Walks Two Worlds,,,
-Written for mourners everywhere (and in loving remembrance of Cypress) –

I am the warrior that walks two worlds,

One foot firmly planted in grief,
The other in primordial-willed continuance,

Do not think these tears weakness,
The one I mourn gives strength unbounded,
Though I am sleepless – I shall not tire,
Though I seem inconsolable – I will not be defeated,
Now every breath is a testimony to their life, hopes and dreams.
I am the warrior that walks two worlds,

Honoring my beloved departed with an unyielding commitment to light and truth,
With a passion for life renewed – to transfigure their death,
To make it sacred through my struggling,
To reflect all the love that was, and still is, their essence.
Do not say the Walk is too hard, too long or too lonely,
Awaken to the truth of your victorious warrior,
Awaken to your undefeatable essence… pure light.

Czar, 03/23/04

Czar was the most beautiful dog inside and out. He was with us for a decade through thick and thin, loving us unconditionally and permanently. Our hearts ache with sadness in his passing and hope he knows how much we love him and how he will always be our first child and will always be with us. We miss you and love you and hope you are finally at peace where you can look down on us everyday and know you are with us. Our lives are so much better because of you - we will meet again soon. Love always, SEA & C


Czarny (Charny), 05/92-05/02/04

My Czarny Girl... It has been a month since you died in my arms.... I miss you so much,,, I hope you can see the beautiful memorial I had made for you.. surrounded by a beautiful garden of flowers.. in the front yard.. where you and I used to sit,,,my heart aches and the tears never stop. You were the swetest and best little dog. Thank You for the love you always gave, there are times when I think I hear your collar jingle, or feel your feet jumping up on my bed. I will love you forever.
