For pet names beginning with "P".
Panda, 10/31/13
We had you for less than a year and you were such a great
addition to our family. You loved watching TV with Bradley and
you were his loyal companion. Your goofy little shape and funny
waddle always made us giggle. You had a feisty side too and
didn't put up with the dogs and even scared a big giant 6'4" man
:)! We loved that you would curl up next to us on the pillow at
night and sleep like it was your bed and not ours! What a sweet
little lady you were. You were a tiny girl that will hold a huge
place in our hearts!
Adam, Kris and Bradley
Panda ( Miss ), Sept 2003 - Jan 04,
2013
Panda,
There are no words to say how empty my Heart is with out
you. I know you are no longer in pain and can run and play
in the snow and run over the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for
all the love and kisses you gave me, letting me share your
bed, playing ball until I was so tired and you still wanted to
play. You were there for me in alot of hard times and
uplifted my Heart. I will always remember and love
you. Someday we will be together
again. RIP Miss Panda
We love you,
Dianne, Bear, Hans,and Ellie Mae
PARKER, 2/15/2002 - 2/3/2013
You will always be my HANDSOME big guy. I miss your company and
the safe feeling I had when you were with me. You were a carefree
spirit who loved everyone. You are where you belong now, with Ken.
He will take good care of you. Enjoy your time with him and your
Mom Laci, Uncle CeeCee, sisters Midge and Emily and Eddie too. I
will love you forever, Beth
Pasha Pax, 9/14/08 - 10/15/13
My little love, you filled so much in my heart. Thank
you. The memories you gave me I will cherish forever.
You were truly the most beautiful cat I have ever seen. To
watch you walk past, look at me with those green eyes, let me hold
you paw, watch you sit-up, listen to you talk, wrap me around your
paw, all those wonderful cuddling sessions, your way of making me
feel loved, and more was a daily pleasure for me and will be
enormously missed.
Please wait for me, Pasha, I'm looking forward to being with you
again.
It is my sincere hope that you are happy and peaceful now. I
will always love you.
Patches ( Baby Girl ), 6-20-99 -
3-26-13
Patches my companion passed away on 3-26-13 after an illness. She
is missed every day. I am a senior and live alone. She
is waiting at the rainbow bridge for the day I will come to her. I
remember her mostly with pain, I know as time passes this pain
will lessen but for now she is always in my thoughts.
Patches, March 2, 2012
16 years ago in Sedona, Arizona I fell in love. Having just lost
my dog, I went to the animal shelter there to see if I could find
another one, and indeed I did. He was a beautiful Blue Heeler who
I named Patches and luckily for me the attraction was mutual.
Through the years, Patches was an intensely loyal and dedicated
friend. He loved and protected without reservation all the other
animals who came and went to and from our home. Here in Columbus,
he regularly patrolled the fence line, always greeted me at the
gate, and carefully herded chickens back into their yard. His
favorite treat was a fresh egg from their nest.
But last week Patches showed symptoms of heart failure. I hoped it
was a passing thing, but sadly it wasn't, and I knew I had to do
the kindest thing for my sweet friend. Yesterday Patches was put
to rest with me holding him and saying goodbye, and my friend
Hazel holding a box of much needed kleenex.
On the way home I asked Hazel to stop at Mike's Sunshine Grooming,
and there were two little terriers who had been picked up on a
highway by some good Samaritan in El Paso, now waiting for a good
home. I have always felt that the best way to honor a beloved pet
is to get another one. This isn't easy when one is in deep grief
and something inside you says to never go through that again, but
the sight of those little dog faces was all I needed to bring them
home.
They were greeted with great enthusiasm by everyone including the
cats. I like to think that Patches is watching with a big smile
from the Rainbow Bridge.
Love, Lynn
Patches Pendrak, 1/2/1999 - 6/18/2013
From all of us that love you. Cocker spaniel extraordinaire. TY
for fighting off rattlesnakes. Chasing away vultures. Helping
yourself to well-cooked meals. Hogging the bed. Whining to get in
and out of bed. Acting like you were never fed. Keeping our feet
warm at night. Protecting us from passing vehicles, walkers and
animals. Loving your Spencer (Somerset, PA). Being a booze hound.
Providing hours of entertainment with Mr. Dot (the laser pointer).
Taking daily showers with us. Being a stoned hostess at the Super
Bowl XLIII party, then magically waking up to steal all of the
food. Teaching Dori who's boss, and then how to be an Uber-Bitch.
But mostly for being the best friend I could ever expect. Say hi
to Max for us at the Rainbow Bridge. See you when we get there
bubba paddy. Everyone who met you is better off for the
experience. We all love you and will miss you terribly
Patrick, 8/26/2013
My precious angel, Patrick, I only had you in my heart and home
for 2 1/2 years, but you were a soulmate to me. You came to
me neglected and broken, and were healed with healthy raw food and
lots of love, kisses and hugs! I adore you, buddy, and will
hold you in my heart until we meet once again at the Rainbow
Bridge so that we can travel together through eternity. It's
not over, my little man!
Patty, 6 weeks 7/25/13
May you rest in peace little one. It was a privilege to care for
you even if it was only for seven days. You will be missed
sweetheart.
Peaches, 3/2012 - 3/26/13
Our precious Peaches, a beautiful hamster, was only with us for a
brief period of a year but she blessed our lives with love and
laughter and she will be dearly missed forever. She was the most
lovable, beautiful, playful hamster anyone could have had the
privilege to have in their lives. We are so thankful she chose
us!! We love you Peaches!!
Cynthia, Steve, Sarah, Joshua, Buster and Nemo
Peanut, 08/01/2001 - 06/09/2013
Peanut you were the most lethargic of the litter when we went to
the shelter to look at puppies, but Franny picked you. Over the
twelve years you were with us you brought us so much joy. I miss
you very much.
Daddy
PEANUT BUDDY, 07/30/2013

& FAITHFUL FRIEND TO ALL. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. YOU
WILL ALWAYS LIVE INSIDE OUR HEARTS. WE WILL ALL MEET ONE DAY AT
RAINBOW BRIDGE (SCOOTER & BOGIE). MAY YOUR ANGEL SPIRIT REST
IN PEACE IN HEAVEN UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. LOVE & HUGS FOREVER

Penelope ("Nellie'), January
2000 - April 22, 2013
Sunlight streams through window pane onto a spot on the floor.....
then I remember,
it's where you used to lie.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet, and muted echoes sound.....
then I remember,
it's where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard in the yard,
then I remember,
it can't be yours..... your sweet little funny voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor and empty muted hall,
and lay them with the absent voice,
I'll wrap these treasured memories in a blanket of my love,
and keep them for forever for you.

Penny, 10/26/2003 - 11/4/2013
How do you say goodbye to someone who made such a positive impact
on your life in such a short period of time? It's impossible. The
ten years I had with you Penny flew by. You taught me
unconditional love, perseverance, forgiveness, and to embrace
change and try new things. I am so grateful and thankful that you
chose me to be your human mom and that God was willing to share
you with me for a little while. I am heartbroken and sad, but I
know that you are happy and healthy again and that means the world
to me. I cherish the memories I have and will always, always keep
your memory alive.
I look forward to the day when I get to see you again. I will love
you forever PenPen. You will always be my prettiest kitty cat in
the whole entire world.
Love, love, love,
Your human mom
Pepper, 07/23/04 - 02/15/13
Miss Pepper owned our hearts from the first day we adopted her to
her final breath here on earth. We were truly blessed with
her constant unconditional love, and we received such a wonderful
surprise blessing with the addition of her puppy Rosie only two
weeks after she joined our family. Cancer is a cruel, cruel
disease in our human world but even more so in the canine world
where Pepper didn't understand any of what was happening to
her. On Friday, Feb. 15, she went to play and be completely
free of any illness at the Rainbow Bridge. We know she is
running and romping in the sunshine and the green grass with all
of her new friends, including our Lady and Brigitte, who were
there to greet her. Forever in our hearts, Pepper, we feel
you every new morning in the sunshine as you watch over us.
Brenda & Tracy
Peppino, 8/7/2003 - 12/29/12
Papa. Daddy's first rescue and mommy's sack-0-potaoes. You are
also our string bean farmer, remember? I'd always have to
ask if I could pick you up / hold you and you always said "all
right!" or "nooooo!" if you didn't want it and you so loved
sucking my fingers. You are so special, loved and missed so very,
very much. You left us too soon but I hope you like your
wings and are a good boy for God.
Petey, July 2001 - March 30, 2013
My Petey-pie, my Petey-boy,
He was bold, full of personality, an adventuress spirit.
Through his lifetime, he grew important in my heart; I didn't
fully realize it until after he passed.
Although he was an Alpha dog, he acknowledged me as his leader;
what a wonderful gift from my Petey.
I am recalling all those little things that made him special
to me.
He was 12 years old, but you wouldn't have known by his demeanor.
He had none of the 'old' dog ailments.
He sickened and died in one day. 'Till the last hours, he
was the same indomitable Petey.
He was my Petey-boy; I miss him so very much, what a gift he
was.
Phoebe, 4/8/98 - 5/14/13
"Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these
quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of
our own lives." John Galsworthy
We will miss you sweet Phoebe.
Love, Elissa, Darya & Jeff
Phoenix, 4/30/00 - 4/15/13
Phoenix ~ 13 years ago when I met you and the kids picked you out
from the Humane Society I wondered what I was getting myself into.
Little did I know at that time how much you would become a part of
my life, & how very much I would love you!! You taught me many
great lessons ~ unconditional love, devotion, perseverance, and
that pit bulls are the most loving creatures God has created!! We
rescued each other Phoenix!! Now that you have crossed the rainbow
bridge please know that I will always love you & carry that
love in my heart my sweet precious girl! RIP Phoenix <3
Pimpy, 2001 - June 2013
Pimpy,
You were such a sweet, cuddly, and gentle cat. You were my best
friend for many years and stuck by me through good times and bad.
I am so grateful to have had you in my life. I will never forget
how you rubbed your face against my baby's shoulder when I brought
him over to meet you for the first time. I thought you would be
jealous but it was obvious how much you loved him and looked out
for him. I am so sorry for the last few years and the bad times
when grandma was not appreciative of you. I wish it could have
been different. I want you to know how much I loved you and how
much happiness you brought into my life. You were a loyal friend
and I can never replace you. I wanted to say goodbye to you but I
never got a chance. I am so very sorry for this. You will always
hold a special place in my heart. You will always be a part of me
and I will remember the good times we shared, the funny things you
did, the places we lived together, and traveling with you. It made
me feel so good to have you with me as part of my family. You will
always be my baby and I love you so much. I feel terrible that you
got sick so quickly and felt so horrible. I hope you were not in
too much pain and that your last few days were happy. I miss you
so much and would give anything just to see you one more time. I
will hold my memories dear to my heart and always cherish them
because you truly were my best friend.
Love, Mama
Poncho, 12/11/2001 - 11/4/2013
My handsome sweetest boy. I wasn't ready to say goodbye,
would have never been, but it seems you were ready to go.
You were my best friend for 12 years. I miss your soft ears
and big tail so much. I miss your Poncho purr. I will
never forget you and hope to see you again one day. Play
like a puppy again and do a tuck and run for me :)
Pooky, 08/29/2012 - 08/08/2013
To our dearest Pooky, thank you for all the love and happiness
that you brought to our hearts in your short time with us.
We will never forget how you jumped to kiss us, anywhere and
anytime, how you took our hands with your mouth to take them to
your belly for a belly rub. We will never forget how much
you liked to play, to run, and to jump.
We will miss you and look forward to see you again. We love
you so much!
Julieta, Monica and Xena
Popcorn, April 1,1995 - October 26,
2013
My baby Popcorn,
You left this world this morning, and I'm missing you so much it
hurts. I hope you know how much I love you; I couldn't let you
suffer from the bone cancer. I'm at peace knowing that you're not
in pain any more and no more medicine that you hated to take. I
hope you heard my heart beating while I held you this morning. And
now my heart is broken since you're gone.
I know you're at Rainbow Bridge and are already healed and playing
with Ashley and Peanut. Tucker is looking for you and is missing
you. He can't figure out where his big sister is.
I love you and miss you, baby girl. I'll see you at Rainbow
Bridge.
Love you forever,
Mommy and Tucker
PrettyBoy, Early 1998 - 12-3-13
PrettyBoy was a shelter kitty who adopted me, then my wife, in
early September, 2001, when I was a volunteer. He was a
purebred Himalayan, "Flame Point", and easily the most
affectionate cat I have ever seen. Although he adopted me at
the shelter, he very quickly shifted his affections to my wife and
tolerated me. He also became the alpha (and only) male to
our two Heinz-57 females, who passed on in 2009 (Prissy &
Crissy have their own tributes).
He was fine yesterday morning, having a little playtime with our
newest furbaby, Sox, a precious little calico, and seemed fine
later in the morning when my wife left the house. But when we
returned last evening, he was laying on his bed, dead, and had
been dead for some hours, but we believe he passed on during his
nap, which consumed most of his day. This morning, we buried
him in our pet cemetery in the side yard, next to Prissy &
Crissy. Sox and our other calico, PrettyGirl show signs of
missing their big brother, and so we will give them a lot of extra
attention. Life is short for our furbabies, and at 75, I
know mine is not much longer either.

Princess, April 19, 1996 - December
13, 2013
Princess it is hard to say goodbye to you because I have lived
with your unconditional love for 17 years. When you were six
months old, my mother and sister visited an animal shelter just to
look when you would not stop following them around. Well, my
sister had to adopt you because of this. After living with us for
awhile, for some reason, you wanted to become my cat. So, I
became your mother.
Throughout the years, you were such a devoted cat and you
literally wanted to be by my side all the time. I am sorry
for the years I worked and went to school for long hours. I
know this stressed you out and you had to be hospitalized from a
stress related illness, when my first nursing job required that I
traveled. I am glad that in your last few years, I was home
most of the time.
The following memories are what I will remember you most by:
When you were younger, you loved to play soccer with ping pong
balls. I frequently had to pick some up at the store as they
would get lost throughout the house.
I was amazed by how you recovered from having a stroke 8 years
ago. Along with your bad reaction to a steroid injection,
you were never able to jump or walk completely normal again.
However, you did not let this stop you from getting around and
living a fulfilling life.
You were such a friendly cat and nice to everyone. You
especially loved your fellow dog and cat friends. I found
out just how much you loved your fellow cat friends when I was
remodeling our current home and they had to stay with
relatives. This made you very depressed, so I had to take
them back in. Then you were happy again. Now that you
are an angel, I know you will be watching over them.
I thought it was cute when you would sit like a perfect lady with
legs crossed and had perfect posture. When sitting next to me, one
of your paws always had to touch me. How you would talk back to me
when I would have a conversation with you.
Princess you made me laugh so hard with your picture of the
cucumbers over your eyes in your Halloween costume picture this
past October. You came close to winning the Petco photo
contest.
I will remember how much you loved to be in your bed near the hot
woodstove as an old lady. I am glad that on your last night,
you looked peaceful there while you were listening to Christmas
music.
Princess thanks for hanging in there until all the family was here
this past week to celebrate Christmas early. I was glad that
your former owner, my sister, was able to see you one last
time.
Today, I saw a rainbow outside. I am going to take this as a
sign that you are now at the Rainbow Bridge.
Love,
Mom, Nickleby, Paris, Tink and Miley
Princess, 01-26-1999 - 01-19-2013
Our sweet Princess, we love you and miss you so much! We
still remember like it was yesterday going out to the Dog's Den (a
local shelter) to get a buddy for Pumpkin. We had picked out
a cat from their website. But when we got there a different cat
this lovable grey ball of fluff came to my feet and would not
leave me, so she picked us! She had the cutest little raspy
meow and was quite the talker. And oh so lovable would sit on you
lap for hours. After I moved she was my Mom's buddy and kept
her company. Princess we will miss your purrs you mews, your soft
fur and your beautiful green eyes. I know we had to let you go we
couldn't let you suffer, but it hurts so much to have to let go.
We know you happy and well again and with Pumpkin now waiting at
the Rainbow Bridge.
We Love You Princess,
your paw prints will forever be on
our hearts!!!!
Love Mommy and Dave.
Pumpkin, October 2000 - June 22, 2013
We will forever remember our "Virginia" girl and my best birthday
present ever!
Punkin Ann Follman, 09.23.13
Punkin Ann Follman, My Little Sweet Love. I am so blessed
and grateful to have been your mommy for almost eight years.
You gave me so much love always and I thank you for always being
there and being my angel. You snuggled, spooned, cuddled,
walked, ran, jogged, did yoga, did circles, were ALWAYS by my
side. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have you as the
most important love in my life, my Little Boo Boo.
You loved your treats, you loved to hide them in my shoes.
You're so precious how you would guard your treat and then wait to
eat it with Mommy when I got home from work. I loved
sleeping with you every night. You always wanted to lick
lick lick my moisturizer or any scrap of food anywhere. then
you would finally snuggle up or spoon and always be touching mommy
just a little bit. I loved stroking your beautiful silky
black hair. Everyone who ever met you ALWAYS talked about
how silky and beautiful your coat is. I loved when I came
home and you would always come running to kiss mommy on the back
of the leg and then jump up on the couch so I could love on you.
Sometimes you were carrying one of your babies - you were so
excited that mommy was home! I would gently grab that little tiny
face and kiss that little Boo Boo mouth. Then we would take
our walk and you always stayed so close to me. whenever i
couldn't find you i knew where to look you would be snuggled up
under the covers waiting for mommy to come home. I
know you're in the sunshine or snuggled up but still always always
always in my heart and my soul. I'm blessed with our Love
and forever grateful to you my sweet baby girl. i love you.
