Year 2010 Tributes

For pet names beginning with "I".

My dearest Angel boy,

Once in a lifetime, once in a blue moon, are we ever blessed to have such an extraordinary pet and companion and you, my dear Ibis, were that plus so much more to me. You endured with bravery, won everyone over with love, and forever left your mark on not only my heart but on the heart of all who were lucky enough to have known you. I pray everyday that i didn't let you down, ever. My life will never be the same without you, my heart is broken but i know we are connected heart to heart and that will always live on. I love you my angel boy and i miss you more than you'll ever know. "Okay mommie." XOXOXOXO

My Inky lived as a feral cat in a drainage pipe in front of my house for almost 5 years. Through harsh winters and rainy springs, I often prayed he'd someday come to know a warm, loving home. Only through severe illness was I able to catch him and take him to the vet. As he recovered inside my home, he became the best of pals with my tabby, Leo. Inky turned out to be the most affectionate, loving cat - who loved to flop down beside you on the bed. Unfortunately, Inky was FIV positive, but we were able to share another 6 good years with him. He knew love, comfort, and care. And he woke us every morning with a tap on the cheek or a bump under the chin. Inky was a fighter, a survivor, but had the sweetest, gentle soul. The little black cat that nobody wanted gave us many years of laughter and joy. He was a blessing sent to us from Above and we are thankful that he chose us as his family. May his Spirit rest knowing that he was truly loved.

Inui.... Mommies first baby. I rememeber walking into the front door, and found you and daddy sitting on the couch. You sitting next to him watching t.v. while daddy was folding the laundry. I couldn't believe that it was true, but yes it was. You were so cute, and never left my side. You gave me so much love and loyalty and were the light of my life. I could not believe that you were a Pit Bull, especially when your cat brothers ganged up on you on a daily basis.

Inui, it has been a really hard decision for me to help you cross the bridge, but I hope you can forgive mommy for being so selfish in wanting you here. But I know life has to have quality and your eyes let me know that it was time for you to leave my side. Though I know your little spirit is here with me, I want you to go and play and have fun with your brothers there waiting for you. Give them wet kisses from mommy,daddy and kala'i and we will come and see you all someday. So be a good boy and tell everyone mommy loves you all. I love you my boy, and now there is no more pain or suffering. Just Good times with God! I love you my boy! Aloha O'e Aloha O'e.. Until we meet again.........I'll miss your wet nose on the backside of my knee's!

Inuit was my best friend. He could understand english.
We had a connection like no other in my life.
My life is so much better having shared it with him.
I miss you little buddy, can't wait to see you again.

We will miss your purr, your vocals, and rubs
We will miss your face, your warmth, and hugs
We will miss your presence, your aura, your touch
We will miss you Ice, we loved you so much.

Thank you for the most wonderful, loving, gift of 15+ years with you.

Forever Love,
Mommy, Mason, Reece,& Conner

A tiny sweetheart, sister to Molly (d. 12/7/09) and Max. We wish you a peaceful and painfree passage to the Rainbow Bridge. Your suffering is now over and we will cherish the wonderful 15 years you were with us.

I love you Ivy Iverson. We miss you dearly, especially your sister Gertie.

Today we said goodbye to our sweet Ivy Mae. I remember the first day I saw you. I came home from a weekend outing and you were at my sisters house. She was a foster mom and took you in until we decided to adopt you. You were in the corn crib and had recently had pups and someone found you on their farm eating ostrich eggs. No one ever claimed you, which was a blessing to us. We will treasure all of the good times we had. Remember going to Leech lake? Remember bringing the turkey egg to the sliding door and a few minutes later the mother turkey came a knocking at the door? You brought us a lot of presents didn't you?!! Remember getting sprayed by the skunk?  
You will never know how much joy you brought to our lives and it won't be the same without you. We know you are at peace and comfortable now and that makes us feel better even though we wish you were still here. We will be together again one day. Goodbye Ivy Mae, Girlie, Sweet Pea. We love you so much. T & D

Remembering Ivy

I got you at the pound
A great big ball of hair
But I knew there was a puppy dog
Hidden some where down there.

When our eyes first met
I knew that was the end
My search was finally over
I met my new best friend

It seems we had you for such a short time
Until that Wednesday morn you died.
I know you will be waiting at the bridge for me
But still in my heart I cried

Through my tears a smile comes to my lips
As I remember the Angel I saw
You're now sitting on her lap
Shaking hand to paw,

We love you Ivy !!!!
