Madden, 07-2004 - 02-06-2015 Small Cam

My best friend who I loved more than anything I have ever loved before. I think of you when I wake and before I fall asleep. You are in my dreams and always on my mind. We made a great team and I look forward to seeing you again one day. Thank you for always being there and rest in peace my friend. I love you Madden 


Maisey, Oct. 30, 2000 - February 1, 2015 Small Cam

We thought we could fill a void when we lost our Shadow, so we fostered Maisey.  She was a smaller version of Shadow who was a large beautiful collie.  Once we got her home and settled in we knew she was here to stay.  We were able to love and shelter her for 5 1/2 years of her 14, yrs. 3 months of life. She consumed us with her soulful eyes and gentle disposition.  We thank God for putting us in her life and she in ours.  She was finally safe and cared for and we're glad God gave us the opportunity to provide this to this beautiful wonderful family member.  God Rest you, Maise.  Enjoy Shadow, Tory, PJ, Rocky, Rajah & Harley.  We'll see you when we get there. 


Mario Michael, 01/10/2005 - 01/21/2015 Small Cam

Mario was my savior. I suffer from severe depression and he always knew when I needed a little extra attention. He was so smart, loving, and an all around wonderful "little boy." He chose me from a pack of eleven puppies who were too young to be taken from their mother. I let him sleep on my chest for the first four days that he came into my life. From that time he became my constant companion.


I sometimes feel like I loved him too much if that is possible. If I had to go out of town for a few days, he would just lay around, not eating much and looking out the window waiting for my return.

He followed me everywhere and in turn, when he was napping, I always sat near him. If he was in another room, I always went to find him.

When he left me, it was sudden and a complete shock. One day he became listless and the next he became week. On that second day I took him to the Veterinary Emergency hospital where they diagnosed cancer in his liver and spleen. He was bleeding into him stomach.

I had to make the decision to take him home and risk him bleeding out or letting him go to sleep forever while under surgical anesthesia.
I had to let my precious boy go that day.

I miss him with all my heart and just can't seem to accept that I will never see my precious baby again.

Marshall III, Adopted 7 Jul 2007 - 27 Sep 15 Small Cam

Your sudden passing broke my heart, but your time had come and now you are at peace. Now you have joined with Marshall 4th, Marshall II, Marshall, Tina and Hank
Now you can sniff all you want and play with the others.  One day soon, we will meet and I will see all of you in perfect condition, and cross the bridge together

You saw me on the day I came to the rescuer and watched me carefully, knowing we would be going home to a much better life than you had


Marshall 4th, 24 Sep 07 - 22 Sep 08 Small Cam

You left Marshall III and me very suddenly on the evening of 22 Sep 08.  You were such a good playmate for him and me too.  When I first saw you in that pet store we sat and got to know a bit of each other.  You came home and took right to Marshall.  You had so much fun together playing. I was going to have you trained in So Cal, and just before your first class, your heart gave out, and went to the Rainbow Bridge
You adopted me, and then adopted Marshall. A real joy! You will always have a big place in my heart thats all covered in paw prints.

You have joined Hank, Tina, Marshall, Marshall II all playing together at the Rainbow Bridge until we meet again and travel over the bridge together.

Later, after you left, I found out you had been born a Puppy Mill puppy. I was never informed of this, being told the breeder was known to them. I never had any reason to doubt them.  Needless to say when I learned of that fact I called the HSUS and gave them all the information.

Maverick, 08/03/2011 - 01/18/2015 Small Cam

Our sweet baby boy Maverick, was taken so suddenly and so young on 1/18/2015. We are heart broken as we try to make sense of life without you. Our sweet Angel Puppy, when we adopted you little did we know that you actually adopted us. You came into our lives and you saved our family! You were the sun and light we so desperately needed. Our world revolved around you and you and you were our joy. You will be missed beyond expression. We love you Angel Baby...until we meet again....


Max, 09/04/03 - 07/18/15 Small Cam

Our Max passed away about 2 1/2  weeks ago. He had tumors on his heart that were cancerous. We only found out seven weeks ago. It's  hard to imagine life without Max. He was such a sweet and lovable doggy. He was afraid when it thundered. He would jump up on the couch with me, or the recliner where my husband sat. The last few weeks he was to weak , so we would lift him up. Sometimes he would hide under the recliner footstool!! 


MAX WINGER, APRIL 25TH/02 - NOV 13TH/15 Small Cam

WE WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU. NO ONE WOULD EVER FORGET YOUR WONDERFUL PERSONALITY.  YOU HAVE TAKEN A PIECE OF MY HEART WITH YOU AND I HOPE YOU KEEP IT CLOSE.  I HOPE YOU KNEW HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU HORRIBLY.  OUR TIME TOGETHER WENT BY MUCH TO QUICK AND WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO GO BACK AND START OVER THAT WAY I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO LET YOU GO.  MY BABY BOY   LOVE MOM.  MISSY AND ANNIE MISS YOU TOO.  WILL CHERISH MY MEMORIES FOREVER


Maximus, 06/26/2002 - 03/07/2015 Small Cam

I always knew this time would come,
 From the very instant our eyes first met.
 How I loved you then! How I love you now!
 I made a promise then, and I keep that promise now...
 You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal;
 You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.

 It is for me alone to make this decision,
 The price for the bright joy and pure laughter
 You brought me during the time we shared.
 I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
 When my hope dies, and my fears ride high,
 Just when I need you most, I must let you go.

 It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready
 For without your guidance, I will not know
 When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger,
 My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
 And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.
 Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.

 The pain of this moment is excruciating.
 Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow.
 And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
 For you have spoken and I have listened,
 And unlike other decisions I have made
 This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace.

 For if there's one thing you've taught me,
 If there's only one thing I've learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all,
 I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me
 I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone.
 And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.

 Go easily now, go quickly now,
 Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
 Go find your strength, go find your youth.
 Go find the ones who've gone before you.
 You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar
 Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone.

 I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
 In the dark and lonely days ahead.
 I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
 For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
 But, I promise you this: as long as I live,
 You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart.

 So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give,
 And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away.
 It is the measure of my unconditional love...
 For only the greatest love can say,
 "Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again,
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all."

Maxton, June 6, 2008 - March 15, 2015 Small Cam

My Dear Maxton,
I have no way of expressing how missed you are. My heavy heart misses you so deeply and dearly, my Boy! I miss your bark, your kisses and whimpers. I miss you! I miss the way you looked at me and embraced me with your eyes. I miss you knocking on the kitchen door and coming into the bathroom at the most private times. I miss your head laying on my shoulder, your weight in my arms. Your curiosity in all things and your courage to overcome all the hardships.
Since you have gotten sick you showed me what it means to be strong and what true trust is. Please forgive me for the wrongs I did. The hours I was gone, the treats not given enough, the walks I missed out on. Please forgive me for all the things we didn’t get to do together. I wish you didn’t have to go so soon!
I thank you for choosing me and the Bear and your brother to be part of your life and be your family. I thank you for being.
You will be forever in my heart.
With Love,
Your Giani


Mercedes, 7 Apr 1999 - 14 Aug 2015 Small Cam

My beautiful Mercedes
So kind, gracious and loving.
I will miss your lovely paws on my face each morning and your snuggles each evening at bedtime.
You have been a wonderful companion all these years. 
I will think of you every day and give a prayer of thanks for all the wonderful years we had together. 


Merlin, Jan 2013 - 9 June 2015 Small Cam

My darling Merlin,
You have  been gone for 10 days now . I am so sorry that you were run over and that we  did not find you straight away. I can only hope you did not know what happened and that you were thinking of crunchy treats and cuddles with us and with your brother Mr Pip when you were hit and then you found yourself somewhere else. You were so close to home, only a few metres  and you would still be here with us by the fire, on you favourite spot. I miss your black and white face and your yellow eyes, your soft coat , your everything. You were with us for only 2 years, such a baby with so much life ahead of you. I wear your photo and fur in a heart shaped locket and keep you close to my heart always. Thank you for the signs, I know you are ok  and that is a comfort. You were loved and cherished and we remember you in so many ways.
You were always adventurous. The first night I  got you home you got stuck behind the hot water cylinder and we had to get the fire brigade to get you out!  So funny  and gorgeous.
Mr Pip and mum and dad love you and always will. We WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.
I pray that youare happy were you are and that you will visit us and give us signs every now and then.
Until we meet again
big cuddles and kisses
Love from your family

Midnight, March 1997 - 5/10/2014

It was a year ago today Midnight that we had to take you into the vet to put you down.  We got to enjoy letting you have one more weekend out on the sunny deck, but when you were struggling to stand we knew the time had come.  Didn't make it any easier, but at least we got to hold you and keep you relaxed right up until the end.  Your being held
was all you ever wanted out of life and to spend time sitting with us or sleeping between us in bed.  It never matter how much you got squeezed between us you just loved being in the middle.  You had to be the most peaceful and loving cat, never demanding, but always
just wanting to be around us and never alone.  You outlived your brother by 3 years, which made you our last connection to the days when we lived in Illinois.  It seems like forever ago, but we can still remember bringing the two of you home from the shelter and
having you go through all the transitions in our lives with us since then.  We will always remember you sleeping in the bed with us, laying on the pillows by our head,or just cuddled up next to us. 
The perfect companion.

Dan & Rita Schaaf


Mikey, 10/07/1997 - 09/28/2015 Small Cam

Mikey,
Who knew that when I wrote this just 2 weeks ago that it would be a lasting tribute to you.  It is so true. You were such a trooper and brave, loving soul, I only wish that you were still here to be with me forever.  But you're no longerin pain and you're with daddy, PC and 2K.
I love you forever and always........Mommy Dor

MY FAITHFUL COMPANION

My cute little sweetie, is the Love of my life,
Keeping me company, especially through strife.

He’s orange and white and the best there could be,
Faithful, and loving always to me.

His scratching post is all of my rugs,
But I can’t get mad at him ‘cause he gives me hugs.

He knows when I’m happy,
He knows when I’m sad,
A cuddle from him will make me real glad.

When he nestles his head on my chin,
The frown on my face becomes a big grin.

His kisses abound in the form of wet licks,
From my nose to my toes, wherever he picks.

His paws he has 3 not like others with 4,
But that doesn’t stop him from maneuvering the floor.

Mikey my hunny bunny will soon be 18,
But now and forever he belongs to Doreen.


Millie, May 2002 - 11th October 2015 Small Cam

I hope you forgive me for not saying goodbye properly.I didn't want to see you die.I wanted to remember you when you were happy and healthy.not just lying there..
I am missing you and I want you back.I dreaded that day would come and I feel so guilty for ending it but I have to try to tell myself you would probably thank me for it as you weren't well and were unhappy.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.Marmalade is wondering where you arexxx.You will be home soon xxxxxxx
Bye Millie....I'm gonna miss you so much xxxxxxx


Minnie, 04/15/2011 - 04/03/2015 Small Cam

Minnie,
我好想你,希望你在彩虹桥上过得开心快乐,是我不好,老是让你在外面。 如果有来世希望你可以再做我的猫咪,我一定会好好地,更好地对你,爱你的。Minnie,在这3年多里,你的点点滴滴我都记得一清二楚,你是一个好乖的猫 咪,我不会忘记你的,我爱你。

Minnie, 07-04-2000 - 03-22-14 Small Cam

It's been a year since you had to leave us and it hasn't gotten any easier. I remember the day I said goodbye like it was just yesterday. You're the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. Every memory brings tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. Your brother misses you so much and he has not been the same without you. I know you're here with us, I can sometimes hear your bark and feel you next to me. We will see you again, Minnie, we love you.


Miss Molly, 02-14-2010 - 05-05-2015

To know Molly was to love Molly.  Always smiling, wagging, and giving out puppy kisses, you were much to young to suffer and leave us.  Oh how my heart longs to see your beautiful face again.  Even as you were close to your own last breath, you licked tears from my face.  Oh my sweet girl, I will miss you until I see you again in Heaven.  I know from scripture how much God loves all creatures of the earth and how they are in heaven, so I am reassured in knowing you are there waiting. Hugs and kisses to you my love ... today, tomorrow and always. 


MisterP, 02/14/04 - 01/16/15 Small Cam

MisterP was a special boy.  He brought joy and happiness to all he encountered.  Though small in stature he was huge in spirit.  We were not ready to loose him so suddenly and without warning.  His journey was filled with love and laughs for us all.  We will miss you MisterP.  Godspeed


Mitzy, December 1 1999 - February 7 2015 Small Cam

To Mitzy. You were my best friend. I love you with all my heart.You knew me better than anyone. I miss you and your love.

Love James xoxo


Mollie Fox, June 4, 1999 - July 13, 2015

When we came to take you home from the breeder in early August of 1999, you were the first dog to greet us as we approached the front door, as if you knew we were coming just for you. What followed was over 16 years of joy and happiness that your presence as a family member gave us. We could only hope that your life was filled with care, love, and happiness. That was our goal, and I think you would agree that we fulfilled that for you. You and I walked, ran, and frisbeed well over 10000 miles in our sojurn together, and you were quite the accomplished ring Frisbee chaser. We occasionally called you the "Ambassador of Morgantown", because one of the breeders, George, gave you that moniker. You were a beautiful, feisty, little girl that gave us an ocean's-full of love and affection. We will always love you dearly, and we will think of you and our cherished memories together with you. We are very, very sad at your passing, but we know you had a wonderful life, and we thank-you for enriching our lives in the time you spent with us. Love eternally: Kathy, Joey, John.


Molly, 07/07/00 - 09/21/15 Small Cam

Miss Molly was the best dog ever. She fought a long and valiant fight, and today we needed to let her rest. We mourn the loss of our best friend and companion who was always by our side. Rest in peace and comfort Molly. I hope we did right.


Molly, Jan. 10, 2000 - Feb.10, 2014

My Sweet Molly, I miss you sweet chubby girl. From the day we brought you home, the runt of the litter, food was ALWAYS a priority. In fact, the first year you were with us you stashed a boot full of kibble away (just in case!) I will always remember your escape habits...tunneling under the garage..scaling the fence..and breaking free to frolicking across the open fields. You were stubborn and smart and I always gave into you. I will never forget the day you ran after us on shore when we tried to leave in the boat to get supplies. I screamed at dad "we have to go back". You tried to swim after us..you loved us as much as we loved you.After your brother died, you were so lonely. You lived and played together for 14 years. You whimpered once and I picked you up. You cuddled up close, licked my face, and looked into my eyes. I held you close and in my arms you just slipped away. 3 weeks to the day, after your brother died, you went to join him at the meadow by rainbow bridge. I know you are with him there, running, chasing and playing..and waiting until Bob and I come home to join you there. We love you baby girl. Take care of the puppies who don't know who to wait for. There will be children and and adults who have never known the love of a dog. You teach them what to do. Until our time, Love Evie


Molly, 04/04/00 - 01/08/15 Small Cam

Sleep well sweet fur baby ❤️


Mops, 1999/06/28 - 2015/09/08 Small Cam

Mops, lovingly missed by Mom, Dad, Allan and Wendy, your furry friends Suzy, Kenny, and Molly and your feathered friends Sam and Cheeky.  You were the best dog and the best friend of Mom and Dad.  We will hold you in our hearts forever.  You have now left us to be with your little sister Mitsy and to play with your friends Dory and Willy.  You were a great boating dog and you lived a happy and loved life.  Your pain has gone and you can now at rest peacefully.
Love, Mom and Dad.


Mosby, April 30, 2015 Small Cam

Mosby (also known as "The Ghost Cat”) mysteriously appeared inside my house several years ago and discreetly made himself at home for days without me having any idea of his presence. He apparently snuck in through a broken cellar window and, until being discovered, followed a routine of sleeping under an unused bed during the day and emerging at night to eat my other cats’ leftovers. He may have actually made his way into my bedroom on several nights before I discovered him, because his coloring was similar to that of Emmett, another tabby who lives with me. Eventually, Mosby visited my room when Emmett and I were there and he was discovered. I’ll always remember the first words I spoke to Mosby: “Who the hell are you?” :-) Mosby apparently had been abandoned by a neighbor who moved away. Whoever left him behind had him neutered (which was good) and declawed (not good at all). Mosby was no pretty boy, but he was a great cat and I'm really going to miss him. Bye, buddy.


Mouser, April 4, 1996 - June 16, 2015 Small Cam

It is hard to believe that you are gone and not with me any longer. My dear Mouser I love and miss you so much. I knew this time would eventually come but I didn’t want to think about it. Your frail little body showed me every day the last few years that the end of your earthly life was coming sooner than later. I tried so hard to let you know how much I loved you. In spite of giving you fluids for almost two years and medication, I meant for you to have a good long life. It seemed that since your sister crossed the bridge, you aged both mentally and physically.

My little man, remember you are my sunshine and although we had many times that you acted out protecting your space, and marking your territory, I always wanted you to feel secure and know that you were not in any danger of losing your position in our family. I hope that you still feel my love and always will.  You were the last of my beautiful family of seven. Mommy (Precious), Munchkin, Cinnamon, Oliver, Sugar, Spice and you Mouser changed my life forever. I learned patience and appreciation for all living things. Each one of you took a piece of my heart with you just like the Kitty and Lucky did. Needless to say I have a broken heart that will never heal completely. Thank you for welcoming Tigger and Cubby into our lives when they were orphaned. Tigger was looking for you the other day when I came home from releasing you back to our creator.

I know you’re at peace. Holding you the last minutes of your life was both traumatic yet once you passed it was apparent that you were finally at rest never to know pain or anxiety again. You looked as though you were a kitten again and fast asleep. Forgive me if I loved you too much to let you go sooner. Now you are back with your Mommy and the rest of your siblings. Someday I’ll walk across that bridge and we will all be together again. Until then please feel my love for you. I’ll always miss you Mouse Man.

Love Forever,
Mommy


Mr. Biggles, 06/11/15 Small Cam

They will not go quietly,
 the cats who've shared our lives.
 In subtle ways they let us know
 their spirit still survive.
 Old habits still make us think
 we hear a meow at the door.
 Or step back when we drop
 a tasty morsel on the floor.
 Our feet still go around the place
 the food dish used to be,
 And, sometimes, coming home at night,
 we miss them terribly.
 And although time may bring new friends
 and a new food dish to fill,
 That one place in our hearts
 belongs to them....
 and always will.

Muffin Butterfly McBryde, 30/05/1999 - 19/09/2015 Small Cam

To My Beautiful Girl Muffin Butterfly

My heart is broken...

I saw you come into the world and I have seen you leave this world...

I love you dearly and the ache I have in my heart is pure torture. I feel that I will never recover.

For the 16 1/2 years I had you. You were beautiful, vibrant, energetic and ready for anything life put your way. I loved to just talk to you and I know you understood me. I love that we both had a sweet tooth and we managed to keep that secret from the vet.

Jim says he loves and misses you dearly. The two of you became very close and he loved that you use to follow him everywhere interested whatever he was doing. Your intelligence surpassed you.

Your daughter Chocolate Kisses is desperately pining for you. I am trying to help her but it is really hard. You had a lovely close relationship with her and have no doubt Muff I will look after her for you and in time you will be together as you always were, as one.

You became very ill my beautiful girl and we tried to help but to no avail. I hope now you are free of all that sickness and are running through those sunny meadows with the birds, butterflies and your mum Sulky.

Please forgive me Muff. I need your forgiveness, I am so sorry.

You have a beautiful soul Muff and it has been a privilege to have had you in my life.

Forever in my heart my beautiful girl, I will never ever forget you.

Love always and forever from your mummy, Jim and wee Chockie xxxxxxx


Mugsey, 9/2000 - 11/2014 Small Cam

Mugsey,
You are gone from our sight, but never our memory,
Gone from our hearing... but never our hearts,
Gone from our touch... but your presence is felt,
And the love that you gave us never departs.
In our hearts forever and we miss you so!!!!


MURRAY, October 26, 2015 Small Cam

My Dear Murray:

Losing you tonight came as a shock and brought great sadness. I never expected to open the door to call you in and find you laying there. I thought at first you were asleep, and then realized you were gone. It is such a shock because you had not been sick or injured, and had only been going out to look around as you always did along with Pinkie.

I will miss you everyday and I know Pinkie will miss you also. You were very precious to me and I had tried to give you a much better life than you'd had before you came to live with me. I only wish it had been longer. I'll never forget the day when I was walking and you practically begged to go home with me. You seemed very happy and at peace here. I'll never forget the way you loved to sit in my lap, or give me little head bumps, or tried to talk in your little cat voice. Sometimes it almost sounded like words, and I knew what you meant. There were many little unique things about you, that made you so special.  This is so sad, and I never dreamed you would go this soon.  I will look forward to seeing you again one day.  Be at peace, I love you. 


Mushu, 07/23/1999 - 01/07/2015 Small Cam

Mushu kitty,

We loved you so very much. From the time we got you as a kitten all the way until you passed away and after. Our home is not the same without your sweet meows echoing at night. I know you are in a better place and playing with Precious, Buddy and Bosley. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. We love you so much "Little Kitty". Mom and Dad


Mystery, 08/2012 - 11/23/2015 Small Cam

Oh my adorable sweet pea!!  You were such huge part of my life! I remember the day you found me.  I was skeptical but intrigued by your looks and calmness.  I tried to pet you and you would run but after awhile you warmed up to my hand and I was joyful.  I continued to feed and love you and the next thing I know you were an indoor comfort.  You always made me smile no matter the day I was having.  You always listened to me and you always were joyed when I came home.  We shared meals and snacks and even cuddled on your favorite blanket.  I love you and I will miss you so so much.  You are in a safe and warm place and know you will NEVER be forgotten. Goodbye and sweet dreams!!


MYSTI, 5/09/03 - 08/15/15 Small Cam

MY DEAR SWEET MYSTI, I AM STILL UNABLE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE NOT HERE WITH ME. I ADOPTED YOU WHEN YOU WERE 5 OR 6 YEARS OLD FROM THE ANIMAL SHELTER THAT I HAD BEEN VOLUNTEERING AT. I WAS TOLD THAT YOU HAD A ROUGH LIFE. SOMEONE FOUND YOU AND BROUGHT YOU TO THE SHELTER. YOU HAD BEEN OUT IN THE SNOW AND YOUR EARS WERE FROST BIT. WE BECAME CLOSE RIGHT AWAY. YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. YOU WERE VERY PROTECTIVE OF OUR FAMILY. I KNEW YOUR TIME TO LEAVE ME WAS GETTING CLOSER, BUT I WASN'T READY FOR THE DAY I WAS TOLD YOU GOT OUT THROUGH OUR OPEN GARAGE DOOR. STILL, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND YOU! YOU HAD A STROKE A WHILE BACK AND YOUR BACK LEGS WERE NOT ALLOWING YOU TO JUMP ANYMORE. WE HAVE LOOKED AND LOOKED FOR YOU. IT'S AS THO YOU VANISHED. I WANT YOU TO COME BACK TO ME, BUT EACH DAY THAT GOES BY I GROW SAD AGAIN. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. I MISS YOU DEARLY. AND I AM SO VERY SORRY IF I HAVE FAILED YOU IN SOME WAY. I KNOW ONE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN.
WITH LOVE ALWAYS, MOM, DAD AND MAGGIE
