Babaloo, 1997 - 4/17/2015 Small Cam

She was my rock and my best friend.  I called her my little doodlebug, and she was my constant companion, at my side at home and on the road.  She woke me up with kitty kisses every morning and slept with her little head on my shoulder at night.  A true member of my family, the world is an emptier place without her.  My Little Doodlebug, Forever Missed, Forever Loved. 


Bailey, March 1, 2001 - April 5, 2015 Small Cam

Our Dear Bailey
Your last day with us was Easter morning.  So unexpected and sad. Daddy and I were with you and I held you in my arms as you were gently given back to God. You came to us as when we lost our dear Abby (July 7 2001).  You have been a loyal and loving little boy. Fun and such a personality with big brown eyes that said it all.  It's terribly hard to not see you in your favorite places. We loved you so much. Thank you for all the wonderful years you gave us. You were a beautiful Bichon always so proud and happy. We shall never forget you. Hope you found Abby,  Until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge may your loving spirit shine down on us.
Love always
Mommy & Daddy and all your earth family

  "Batman" Small Cam
 May 24,2014 to April 11, 2015
 
This is the story of my little recused black dog. He was a lab/hound mix and he looked like a lab, but bark like a hound. It was the cutest thing to hear. He was 4 months old when we adopted him and looked forward to years of fun with him. When he went in the neutering, it was found that only 1 tentacle had drop and that we should wait a month to see if the other would. When we took him in again, the doctor would not operate as his blood work was so poor. A week later, we found out he had kidney disease. Oh, the specialty doctor said with the right diet and meds, he could have 4 or 5 years. Okay, we would be okay with that because of the illness and were willing to give him whatever he needed. At this time you would never know he was sick, he played like any puppy would.
He was just a great puppy, he played with our other dogs and made us laugh and we were glad we found him. He played in the leafs and the fallen snow, but his most fun was on top of the snow hill I made for the dogs in the back yard. Up and down he and our Golden would go back and forth around and around. But, then the disease started to take its toll.  Slowly he began to fade. Before long, he stopped eating. We tried every type of food there is. All the special diet foods that are available, were of no help. We found out the only thing he would eat was cat food. But after a few weeks, even that didn't interest him. Nothing did. I tried feeding him with a tube of meds and vitamins only to have him throw it up a few hours later. He kept losing weight and he stopped playing with the other dogs. Trips to the vet offered no hope. He started to have heart problems and breathing became a problem for him. So we did our best to make him comfortable and try to help him from day to day in the hope that he would get better. He never did.
I will tell you what I miss the most about him. I miss the way he would play with our dogs and with our cat. The way he would come over to see whatever you would be doing, working on a something or cleaning something up, or the way he would run to the front door and jump up on the arm rest of the couch with his feet on the floor, looking to see who was there. Or how he would give a little whine when Reno would be playing with one of his toys until Reno gave it back to him, which he always did. I miss the way he would grab a new squeaky toy from my hand and run through the house squeaking all over the place. Or the way he would come to me in the middle of the night and gently lick my hand until I woke up to find that he wanted to go outside, and he was only 7 months old at that time. There is no way I can ever forget this little dog, he really got into my soul. It would take me 15 to 20 minutes to make his special food dishes only to see him not want to eat any of it. It just broke my heart to see him slipping away. I tried everything I could find online and bought a number of medications that were to help him. Nothing helped. In the last few weeks of his life, I spent as much of my time with him as I could. Often laying down next to him and telling him how much we loved him and that we were doing everything we could to help him. I think he understood that his time was short. He would look at me with those beautiful brown eyes and just stared at me, then gently lick my face, as to say "I know, I love you too".
There will never be another Batman in our lives, he was 1 in a million. He was a great puppy and would have been a great dog, he never got the chance.:(  


Beamer, March 27, 2000 - June 21, 2015 Small Cam

I'm sitting here wondering how to even put into words how I feel, and I can't do it. We had to put our puppy down last night, Beamer was 15. He has been my best friend for 15 great years and we will never forget him. The house is empty, he is everywhere. Our hearts will mend, but it will take time, people that know us - knew how much we loved his company so keep us in your prayers as we heal at this time. Of all the people I've know he was the most human...he was my pal...someday soon we shall see him on the Rainbow bridge....May God fill the void in our hearts this day and the days to come. We miss you more then anything Bee's and hope you know we left you go to save you from anymore pain, the pain is with us now my friend, you will always be with us in memory....until we meet again...we love you so much....


Bella, October 2002 - August 31, 2015 Small Cam

Bella, you have been with us forever, and it won't be the same here without you. We love and miss you so much. We know momma will be there to watch over you and take care of you, so you'll be in good hands. Love, Dad, Reeghan, Ryan, and Luka


B.G.  Baby Girl, November 20, 2001 - August 15, 2014 Small Cam

To our precious Baby Girl aka BG.  We loved you and had you from the day you were born.  Kristyn fell in love with your beautiful eyes, and your little white toes. Mommy, can I keep her please!!  There was no doubt you had your forever Mommy from day one. Loyally, you knew what time to watch for her to come home every day and brought so very much joy and love! She took you with on her adventures and bought you clothes to make you pretty. I will never forget your pajamas :).  We miss you so much Baby Girl and your sister Peanut misses you deeply too. We almost lost her too because she went into grieving. You got sick so suddenly but your Mommy, with her heart breaking, did not let you suffer even though we didn't want to say goodbye. There is a deep hole in our hearts but we know we will see you again someday. So until that day, we find comfort knowing you are better where you are and will wait for us at Rainbow Bridge and that you are with your fur mommy and daddy, Ashley and Synder, and sister Jealousy.  We love you and you are forever in our hearts, Baby Girl.  <3 


Big Mama, 2001 - 12/25/2015 Small Cam

A few days after Thanksgiving 2010, I went to the rescue shelter to adopt a dog.  The dog I was looking for was not available, but the shelter volunteer asked if I would be interested in another dog that had been rescued from a breeding kennel.  She brought you out for me to walk.  You were a 145 LB black lab who could hardly walk.  We walked about a block and I was in love with you.  You went home with me that day and I was blessed. You could not bark (vocal cords had been snipped), you could not run, would not play or chase a ball.  You slobbered like crazy. Not the type of dog most folks would want.  But boy could you wag your tail.  You so loved people and let me hug you every chance I could.  So for 5 years you shared my life and I am the better for it.  We went for long walks, went on a diet together and often just lied on the floor together and fell asleep.  In 5 years, you lost 65 LBS and were close to your target weight of 75 LB.  But 2 weeks before Christmas 2015, you began to show signs something was wrong.  2 vet visits and a trip to the emergency hospital and I knew I had to make the hardest decision any pet owner has to make if they truly love their pet.  You are missed so much.  You are loved so much.  At least now you are without pain and can play with Suzy, Tina, Lilly and Lulu until I join you and we all cross the rainbow bridge together to be together forever.

Bonkers, October 2004 - February 1 2015

Hi Kitty Guy. Its Mommy again. I am writing  again because there is so much I didn't say in my other tribute to you. I miss you so so much Bonkers. My heart aches. I am so so sorry I could not have done more for you. I never wanted you to leave and I pray you know that. I loved you so much. And I know you loved me just as much. We had a good life together. You were always happy. I want to hold you and cuddle you so bad I feel empty. I miss you touching my face with your paw. You were the sweetest soul. Last night I looked up in the sky and asked for you to give me as sign that you understand and we will be together again someday at Rainbow Bridge....I saw one star. A huge shining star. I think that was you my little kitty guy telling me it will be ok. I love you Bonkers with all my heart. Love Mommy

Brandy, 31st October 2014 - 2nd September 2015 Small Cam

My darling baby boy Brandy,

How can i ever go through the devastation i am feeling when your life was claimed by a terrible illness at the tender age of 10 months.  How can i ever go through the deep sadness of never being able to feel your kisses all over my face again, and not being able to caress your sweet face and tell you how much i love you.  You were the true love of my life, my baby, my friend, my everything.  You gave me unconditional love all through your short life. I will always be grateful for all the happiness and love you gave me my darling.  I will always love you and will never forget you.  I hope that you are somewhere nice watching over us and I hope that one day we will meet again never to be separated.  Rest in Peace my baby.  Love you so much.


Bridie Anne, 2006 - October 5, 2015

Dearest Bridie Anne, our beloved Scottie girl, you are running once again with Ethan, Ezekiel, and Obadiah.  We miss you so very much, and will hold you in hearts always. We trust that God brought you home so that you would not suffer, but the chasm you left is enormous.  The love we have for you will continue as we help Hamish deal with the loss of his best friend and big sister. We will love you forever and you will always be our little Sweetie Pie, always.


Brie Chambers, 5/2002 - 2/20/2015 Small Cam

To my sweetest girl, I miss your smile and kisses more than you can imagine. Play without pain with your angel brothers and sisters that met you at the bridge. I will love you forever and see you again. Love your mom and pop

Bubba Ray Gutierrez, September 1999 - December 20, 2015 Small Cam

You were the funniest beagle I ever met. I'm so lucky to have had you for 16 glorious years. You were the light in my life and I will miss you till the day I die. That nose could find anything and I hope it helps you find me when I cross over. You were loving and loyal. Sometimes silly and always strong. My dear sweet Bubba, how will I go on without you by my side? Please know that I will always love you and will never forget you. Till we meet again my doo doo. Thank You for being the best dog I ever had.


Buddy, 05/24/2015 Small Cam

My poor Buddy is crossing the Rainbow Bridge soon. I feel guilty at the thought of helping him cross. Oh how I wish I knew what he was going through and if this is the right decision. He was up all night last night despite the pain pills. I called his worthless vet today but he never called me back. I am having Pet loss come to the house to help him along his way. I knew his time was limited at sixteen years of age but it is tearing me up to let him go. They just called and said they will be here in 30 minutes so I need to go and spend my final moments with my Buddy. I hope they have an afterlife and I hope that God knows how much this hurts. He is my baby and I will never forget him. Please wait for me Buddy, I will be along soon. I love you dearly.


Buddy Johnston, 05/13/1999 - 05/05/2015 Small Cam

Buddy, you lasted over two years longer than the doctors said you would with your kidney disease!  Since we got you from a shelter, we think you were about 15 years old which means you lasted longer than most Siberian Huskies do, as far as I know....maybe it was because you were a mixed breed, anyway....it was the hardest decision we've ever had to make but know it was the right one. After a couple years of diet change and medications, we gave you the best chance you could have and you certainly made the most out of it.  We got to enjoy each other an extra two years!  We miss you so much...The house is very quiet but now you can play with Tia who had to be put down in 2009 and I know you missed her so very much.  You two have fun while you wait for Mom and Dad to come over the Rainbow Bridge, ok?

Love Mom, Dad, Emily, Sean, Angie and Emmett


Buffy, 07/12/94 - 08/01/15 Small Cam

I can't remember my life really without this small, runt, grey tabby in it. She was always MY girl. She was the boss of all the other animals she ever lived with, including but not limited to, a german shepherd, 2 pit bulls, a rottie, and over the years, about 20 other animals. They were all scared of this 5 pound feline. Of course we all love all of our furbabies. Buffy, though, from the day I pulled her and her brother from a shoebox at the barn, covered in fleas, stole my heart like no other. She was my best friend. She was sassy, friendly, a little bit neurotic, a mini-me. One night while I was out with some friends, my mom accidentally let her outside. She called me in a panic,( our cats are all indoor), and told me she couldn't find Buff. I told her to put me on speaker and hold the phone out. I called loudly for my best friend and I could hear her funny little meow getting closer to the phone. My mom was astonished that my cat wouldn't come for tuna , but came for the sound of my voice. Buffy sat in my lap while I studied to learn my drivers test booklet. She licked my tears through 2 divorces and would sleep by my son's crib when I had him at age 24. Everyday of my life from 16 on, she was there. No day was ever intolerable as long as she was in it. She was diagnosed over 10 years ago with a bad heart murmur. We took her to a specialist who did all kinds of tests and put her on betablockers and aspirin. The doctor told me sadly, my cat maybe had 6 months to a year to live. I gave her her meds regularly for a while, but it got to the point where she couldn't tolerate them anymore, even as a topical. I moved to Lexington from Cincinnati 2 years ago and she helped me learn to be away from my family, but she was changing. She was losing weight, not bathing, and showing signs of her kidneys starting to fail. When she started drinking nonstop and peeing everywhere I was really worried. Then she started hiding and I knew it was time. I was fortunate enough to have her put down in my lap at my house. I've worked as a vet tech and been there for many of my other animals passings. This one has been by far the hardest. I feel empty. I see her and hear her even though she's not there. I know she was not going to get better but I still doubt my choice. I asked her to give me a sign she's OK if she could. I'm not sure about what happens when we pass but I do know energy cannot be destroyed and BOY did she always fight. I hope and pray she is at peace now. I'm going to try and keep breathing five minutes at a time. I have a tattoo on my arm that says " this too shall pass" . I never knew how much I was going to have to read it. To all who have lost a furbaby, my heart is with you, Sarah


Buglet, 7/20/2015 Small Cam

Buglet was a sweet loving black cat I had for 17 years. He was a stray cat I took in. He loved playing and cleaning his best pal ziggy another stray cat I took in 7 years ago. He also loved playing with his cat toys. flutter balls was his favorite. He is sadly missed, and the house is not the same without him and his brother Brandon, I lost March 13th of this year. His best friend Ziggy misses him alot.

I love you Buglet
Mommy Lisa, Trish, Ziggy


Bugs, September 16, 2011? - November 25, 2015 Small Cam

Bugs, my life with you was one of coming home from work, day after day, often with a sense of great anger and frustration about what had happened there, and finding you standing there or lying there, usually in the dining room, and have that anger and frustration melt away when I saw you.  And you would watch me carefully as I got a treat for you, and then I would have the satisfaction of giving it to you and watching you enjoy it.  That was your gift to me, and I received it day after day.  It was such a wonderful gift, and I'm going to miss it so much.  You are a most wonderful creature, and I love you so much.  Always and forever, I love you.


Bunny Waggles, 04/03/2002 - 03/07/2015 Small Cam

Bunny you were a sweet and wonderful girl.  I am blessed and grateful that you came to live with me.  Rest peacefully my darling girl. I love you forever. 


Buster, Sept 11, 2014 - March 2, 2015 Small Cam

Buster, you were a blessing in our lives.  You were so loved and I hope you realize that.  You were Matthew's love.  You were my pumpykin.  You took part of our hearts with you today.  You will never ever be forgotten.  You will always be in our hearts.

I'll miss our cuddles and you trying to steal your treats.  I will always have your pillow beside me in your usual spot for you.

I love you Buster.


Buster Bear, September 17, 2002 - March 08, 2015 Small Cam

We adopted Buster Bear from the Monroe County Humane Association in Bloomington, Indiana & brought him home on May 17, 2003.  He was 8 months old when he joined our family and just nine days shy of 12 & 1/2 years old when he crossed over on March 08, 2015.  He was a blessing to us for almost 11 years and 10 months and will remain with us in spirit always.
I wrote this poem for & to Buster Bear just three days before he passed.  I read it aloud to him while he was still here and he was laid to rest with a printed copy between his front paws.

To Buster with Love

In a cage at the shelter
Confused and alone;
Your prayers were so simple
Just a friend and a home.

No hard concrete floor
When you’d lay down your head;
But perhaps a soft blanket,
Or a rug, or a bed.

We’d just lost our Barney
And still aching within.
Could we open our hearts?
Could we do it again?

Your soulful brown eyes
Starred deep into mine;
I felt love inside me
And I knew it was time.

I knelt down to touch you
You cowered away;
But there were treats in my pocket
So I might be ok …

So quick to accept me
Somehow you just knew;
That your prayers had been answered
God had sent me for you.

With your tail wagging wildly
And your tongue keeping pace;
You showered wet kisses
All over my face.

I signed all the papers
I paid them their fee;
You barked out your goodbyes
And you left there with me.

In the cab of the truck
Like a King on your throne;
You seemed so excited
To see your new home.

With Just a few miles to go
Trooper Cook lit us up;
But we just got a warning
And a scratch for the pup.

When I pulled into P-town
With my new furry child
I opened the truck door
And you went almost wild.

You sniffed the garage
Then I opened the Door;
When your Mama first saw you
Her jaw hit the floor.

Much larger in flesh
Than your picture had looked;
But one look in those brown eyes
And you had her hooked.

The First order of business
Was to give you a bath;
But you gave us one too
As we dripped and we laughed.

You were somewhat uncertain
For those first early days;
But you settled right in
And decided you’d stay.

We became best of buddies
You and Mama and I;
Through some crazy adventures
We’ve laughed ‘till we cried.

Through good times and bad times;
Through blue skies and gray;
Through the ups and the downs
Love grew stronger each day.

You were trying at times
As a young Buster Bear;
You chewed up some shoes
And a couch and a chair.

But we always forgave you
No matter the crime;
And we thanked God we found you
Many millions of times.

You’ve been to the courthouse
And to City Hall
To the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds
You’ve sniffed in them all

Many hearts you have stolen
All throughout town,
Like your Granny next Door
Who calls you ‘Slop Hound’

A stray Hoosier beagle
We brought you back here;
What seems like yesterday
Has been nearly twelve years.

You’ve been a loyal companion,
So much more than a friend;
And the Love that you’ve given
Knows no bottom … No end.

We all start to grow older
From the day we first breathe;
And sooner or later
This Earth we must leave.

As your spirit moves on now
From Body to soul;
Please wait for us there
On that lush grassy knoll.

Full of youth, Full of vigor,
Free of pain and despair;
Among sunshine and flowers
Until we meet you there.

When it’s our time to join you
And we cross over too;
Then we’ll all be together
To start over anew.

Before your soul passes
And you’re no longer here;
I must tell you something …
I must make this clear.

When you took that big chance
In our family to trust.
Did we rescue you?
Or did you rescue us?

That day at the shelter,
The very first time,
I hope I answered your prayer
Because you sure answered mine.

MB  03/05/15

Love You & Miss You B. Bear!!

Buster Thompson, 2000 - 22/12/15 Small Cam

Buster the Yorkshire terrier who thought he was a rotweiller. A small dog who surpassed himself in the amount of love he gave me. He has left a hole in my heart that will never heal. Please wait for me Buster so as we can be together again. I love you so much.
