Lacey, 10/06/98

For Lacey....and you Wanda...
She wears angels wings now :)
and is happy and healthy again,
and waiting for you to join her.

Cyndi Jones


Laddie, 11/12/92-5/2/98

Laddie, I still miss you so much!! It is hard to believe you have been gone only 6 months. We did so many things together and now they just aren't the same without you. The house seems so empty when I get home at night. No one is there to greet me with a happy wagging tail. I know another dog will never take your place or fill the hole your passing left in my heart, but one day I hope to share the love we had with another dog. And when that day comes, I will tell him all about you. So until we meet at the rainbow bridge I will be thinking about you always.

Vickie Wright


Laddie, 1979-1993

The best little watchdog ever. Thanks for the memories, and for letting us practice our 'parenting skills' on you!

Sandy and Ron


Laddie, 1985-08/30/98

Laddie was a special friend and a member of our family for nearly 13 years. He will be missed, but knowing that he is no longer in pain and having our memories of him will keep him in our hearts forever.

Susan Phillips


Laddie, 08/86-4/14/97

I miss you. When you left, Tres even missed you so much, he started chewing his foot raw. Someday, all of us will be together again.
Love Shannon.


Lady, 01/79-09/28/98

My darling was quite old, but that doesn't make her loss any easier to bear. She was a cuddly cat who loved to sit on my lap and who slept every night on my bed. So, I miss her every time I sit watching TV or reading, and every night when I go to bed. I remember so much about her, her games, her chattiness, even her rather ungainly way of walking downstairs when the rest of the time she was so graceful. I loved her, I miss her. I may get another cat, but there will never be anyone like you, Lady.

Barb Drewette


Lady, 1983-11/98

Lady loved her human unconditionally. She was 15 years old and had gone deaf. She had other health problems too. My husband and I were just friends but we loved Lady too. My husband and I would always volunteer to dogsit when her human went out of town - so we could take her for walks and just spoil her as she didn't get spoiled very often. Her human thought that a dogs place was tied to the doghouse. She was never allowed in the human house. Lady I know you are much happier now, I hope someone is there to love you unconditionally now. God Bless. If we ever meet again I'll try to have a milk bone in my pocket.

M.J.


Lady, 08/23/83-08/09/98

She was loving and a wonderful companion for the last fifteen years...

Judi Schiff


Lady, 11/02/98

Tribute to my Lady,

You were the best. I did not consider you an animal but one of the family. You brought so much love not only to me but to everyone you met. You had 16-1/2 years of love and trust from me and I miss you very much. I will never forget you because you were part of me. It is like a part of me died when you died. My tears are for sadness that you are gone but I know that I will also have tears of joy for the wonderful years you have given me. I will remember you always and hopes of someday I will see you over that Rainbow Bridge. Good bye my sweet Lady puppy. You will always be a puppy to me. I LOVE YOU..

Geraldine Harrison


Lady, 01/27/90-03/17/98

Nobody has ever touched my heart like you have. For that I'm forever grateful. Thanks for seven great years! I love you!

Terri Vasquez


Lady, 11/1/79-09/21/94

She would not be considered perfect by many other people, but for the 16 wonderful years she was with us, the one word I can find to describe her is: divine. Her memory will forever be in my family's hearts and home.

Dan


Lady, 04/12/98

My Dearest Lady,

How I long to have you here with me. I know that you were too tired to go on. Loyal, loving and a very special friend to me. That was you my girl. I loved you so.... You were always there for me...my friend. Till we meet again...you will be in my heart.

Julie


Lady (Grandma Dog), 09/05/97

My Grandma Dog, You were a faithful and true friend. No matter how bad things got or how sad I was, you wee there. When I got you someone abandoned you and I took you home and you were with me for 19 years. A true friend. On that last day, when I knew that things were not good for you. That you couldn't see, walk well, drink or eat, I as your friend could not let you go one and as your friend I let you go. Oh my dear Grandma Dog, you will be there for me as Grandma horse will. Take care of her and her baby. Until we met again, Love

Juanita Hale


Lady, 03/16/98

Dearest Lady,
You are loved and missed so much. Having you in my life was such a blessing. I'll always miss you, my friend. Wait for me at the bridge Ladybug. lots of love, Tara

Tara Jung


Lady (Laura's Little Lady) , 03/24/90-12/11/97

Beloved Lady, You were and still are my best friend in the entire world. When you got me, I was so thrilled and I talked about you constantly. (I still do!) When you were diagnosed with congestive heart failure, I was hopeful of your recovery, especially when the vet was "cautiously optimistic." When you went ahead to the bridge I was heart broken but I know you are better now and I love you.

Laura


Lady (Lady Bug), 02/08/98

Lady, you were my friend and closest companion. For some reason God called you home suddenly and unexpectedly on 2/8/98, and you will be greatly and sadly missed. You showed up on our doorstep in April 1987 as a ignored 4 month old stray puppy, but you soon became a beloved member of our family. Sure, you had your good moments and your not so go moments but I loved you just the way you were. I live to one day see you again in heaven.....

Sandra E. Lane


Lady Arwen, 04/01/83-12/21/96

Lady, you were a special and loyal companion. I still miss you terribly. I know someday we will meet again at the Rainbow Bridge and be happy to be together once more. I will love you always.

Cat Breen


Lady and Bandit

Guys, I miss you so much, even though its been so long since you left. I think about you everyday, and I will never forget you.
You were my best friends, and I enjoyed every minute with you. I would do anything to see you one more time. Someday we'll be together again, and until then you will always be in my heart and thoughts.

Kristen


Lady Bess, 03/21/86-12/23/98

Be free....My loving friend and companion...be finally free to cross the bridge...Free from age and pain....the strength returns and you are young again....Run free...Bessie my friend....

Ken and Carole Miller


Lady Bug (LB), 1983-10/6/98

We miss you LB. Thank you for sharing you life with us these past six years. Thank you, Boo, for being there for us.

Pam and Mick McVey


Lady Bug, 01/14/88

Lady Bug was a beautiful very loving cat..My daughter Laura found her dead from Kidney failure. Laura and I miss her very much. We can't wait to meet her at the bridge.

Meg Harsen


Lady Bug, 06/24/98

My beloved Lady was helped gently to pass after a sudden and severe decline in health. She was the light and joy of my life. I ache at the loss of my dearest friend and constant companion of 21 years. May her afterlife be filled with warmth, peace and the certain knowledge that she is loved.

Polly Ireton


Lady Bug, 02/06/87-05/27/98

Our Dear, Sweet Lady Bug! We miss you so very, very much! Our life is so empty without you. Never did we realize, until you were gone, just how much you entwined in our daily lives! Thank you, dearest Lady, for all that you taught us, without ever uttering a "human" word! You taught us how to love, have patience, give to others, forgive, accept what is given to us by our God as that which is right and just! We will visit you at your place of eternal rest until we are all together again (forever)at Rainbow Bridge!

We Love You With All Our Hearts...."Mom and Dad"


Ladybug, 11/96

We love you and miss you dearly!

The Broussard Family


Ladybug, 9/9/82-1/29/98

By the time Ladybug was 2 years old, she'd been sent twice to the pound. That's when we came into the picture. By the time she was 3, she was blind from Glaucoma. Nevertheless, she went on to live a full life with us......always loved, always cared for, and always with us. How quickly those 14 years passed! She's sorely missed and it's been very difficult for us to let her go. Our only source of comfort right now is knowing she's no longer in pain, no longer suffering......but able to see and run and play with all those other sweet one's we've read about in these pages.

Deborah and Bruce Hall


Lady, Dixie, Lucky, G, F, Buddy, Tippy

We all love you very much. We are all looking forward to seeing you at the rainbow bridge. You brought us all so much joy and happiness in our lives and we will never forget you. Thank you for the joy and love you gave us. Stay safe our little ones, we all believe we'll be together again! We can't wait to see you! We love you always- Your Family.


Ladycat, 09/13/98

We love you, Lady. We miss you so very much. But I know you are safe in Jesus' arms and we will meet again. Share purrs and whisker rubs with Momma Kitty and Shelby. Rest easy, my friend.

Monique


Lady Dog, 1/26/97

They found you in the back yard, eating ants to stay alive. My oldest brother, like any other little boy, wanted to keep you.
            and now I say good-bye
All my dad could say was no, but when he saw how friendly and helpful you were, you made him change his mind.
            and now I say good-bye
I was born a few years after. You witnessed me coming home from the hospital, you were there when I said my first words.
            and now I say good-bye
Gentle with me growing up, you were always there when a little girl needed company. I would take you on walks, and race you home.
            and now I say good-bye
I was 13, and you were still here, watching me come home from school, and going off to babysit.
            and now I say good-bye
Today, you left, please don’t go!! This is the first time I can say I do not have a dog. No one to stick her nose through the door waiting for the first possible moment to see her family.
            I say good-bye to a dear old friend I have had for 14 years. You are gone but your company will live forever in my heart.

"Good-bye my dog. My sweet, sweet dog. My friend, my dog. . . Lady Dog."

            Isis


Lady Evening Sunshine (Sunnie), 4/1/85-1/7/98

You got the name Sunshine because you brightened up the day and put a huge smile on my face everyday, as I played with you through the fence. I finally convinced Mike that I had to have you and that we were meant for each other. You became my best friend, going every where with me. You would not let anyone or anything, keep you from sleeping beside me, no matter the time of day. And even now, even though I can't find you, I know that you are still sleeping beside me, still snoring, and still putting your butt in my face. But now you have no more pain. I will always love you Sunnie, and always look for you.

Bridget & Mike Taylor


Lady Ginger, 06/21/94-06/09/98

Ginger's love and joyfulness filled our hearts, she is missed and only our memories can fill the pain for her untimely departure.

Gingy, we miss and love you.

Your Family


Lady Heather, 02/01/87-12/27/98

For Our Dear, Little Girl, Heather,
You were total Love and Joy and left us but a few hours ago. You were and are a part of our lives and always will be with us. Though we now have to wait, we will again be together in God's limitless and infinite Love. While the words will never be enough, you hopefully knew and know how great our Love was and will forever be. Though you are not with us for the moment, your place in our family shall always be saved until we are together again.
If only the world could express your innocence, selflessness and giving than it too would be like the Heaven where I now know you are. We Love you and await to be with you again. Your family.


Lady Jane, 04/89-05/01/97

To my girl. I miss you very much and think about you every day. Even though we have another dog that does not mean we have forgotten you. Until we see you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Mom and Dad

Lady Luck, 11/15/98

Lady Luck was a rescued dog found July 5th after being pepper-sprayed and abandoned. She stayed in a foster home for three months and had joined my family about 5 weeks ago. I am heartsick that she was not with us longer. I am thankful that she learned humans could be nice and life could be great.

Gray


Lady Natasha, 12/07/82-03/02/98

Dear Lady,

I know that your suffering is over - we really never knew until the end how much you were suffering but you loved us so much you wanted to stay. I am sorry for that and I hope you forgive us. You were the most loving friend we could have ever had. You were always there - affectionate and loving to everyone you met. You were everything good in a cocker spaniel and you are greatly missed. Nothing seems to fill the void that you left in our lives and our house is so empty without you. We will love you always Laluska,

John and Denise


Lady Shakespeare Shaggy Bear, 5/23/86-8/29/98

Shakespeare:
You will be forever in our hearts. Thank you for everything.
See you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Mercedes Ilagan


Lady Skylar Shadow, 09/01/97-11/30/98

She came into our life to help heal us from the loss of our wonderful furchild Zeus. She gave us all her love and trust. She was a light in our home. We called her Lady Bug and she never left my side. She gave us protection and love and joy. She had a beautiful soul with a playful spirit.

Tom and Louise Snowden


L'Amour, 03/29/78-01/24/95

In Loving Memory Of L'Amour.

A small dog with a big loving heart. Who was my best friend. And was always by my side. You will be forever in my heart and soul. I miss you L'Amour. You will forever be loved and in my thoughts until we are together again someday.

Pat M. G.


Laredo, 01/17/87-04/11/97

You were my best friend. I miss you every day. I look forward to the day when we can be together again.

Rob Silver


Larry Critcher, 1989-08/05/98

He was just a cat I got a the SPCA but he gave me his whole heart. I will miss him dearly.

Rose


Laser, 11/17/84-01/06/98

Laser - You fought a hard battle, but now you are free to run and play again until we meet up once again. I miss you and love you and you will always be in my heart and my memory until I too find you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Holly


Lassie, 08/10/98

My sweet boy, Lassie, was put to rest Monday evening. I rescued him five years ago when he was brought in to the pet clinic I was working at. His owners didn't want to spend the money needed to treat his injuries (after all, he was 8 years old!). Lassie came to my home to "rehabilitate" and instantly bonded with my other 3 dogs. Five short years later he has gone on to the Rainbow Bridge. My heart actually aches, but I have had wonderful support from friends who really understand. I love you Lassie.

Anne Chimenti


Lassie, 07/95

To my Lassie - I miss you every day and have never stopped loving you. Till I see you again, Love, Mom


Lassie, 05/11/98

Never again will there be such a true and faithful friend. My heart shall ache for her every day until we meet again. Although I am grieving deeply, I think of how she would feel if she saw my sorrow. It would break her heart. So, in her lowing memory, I will go on.

Julie Longfellow


Laughlin, 4/86-12/18/93

To a wonderful and sweet little guy..Laughlin!
He started with a terrible little life, bounced around from home to home and abused....but came to live like a king in my home. At the height of his sickly life, a car struck him down at the young age of 7. Love and always missed, Clair

Leela, 8/26/97

Leela was an incredible soul. She liked lots of hikes and camping trips, and probably saw more of the southwest than most people ever get to see. She loved her family so much, and her eyes always said so. We still miss the touch of her soft fur, but we can feel her spirit here in our home. Sometimes she laughs at the antics of those new furkids, who just aren't as dignified as she was.

Michael Bromka & Sondra Sage


Leica, 09/01/83-12/03/98

Leica was very good loving dog who was loved very much by her family she is missed so much. May God take care of you and may you run and play again with our beloved dogs who are at rainbow bridge. I will see you at the bridge.

Love to my grandpuppy

Grandma


Lei Lei, 08/21/98

Bye, Lei Lei. I love you.

Josh Huehner


Leloo Rael, 03/11/85-08/30/95

Leloo, you were the most gentle and loving Shepherd I have ever known. We had 10 wonderful years together (not long enough) Please take care of little Pepper Ann, she is just a baby and probably frightened. I love you both.

Denise M.


Lena, 03/15/95-06/21/98

she was my big yellow puppy

scott


Lennier, 04/97-08/12/98

Though you were only with us for a short time, you brought joy into our hearts. You are in a better place. Enjoy it until I come to join you.
Farewell, my love.

Rocco Rizzo


Leo, 1989

Leo, the toughest animal I have ever known. From the time I brought you home at 8 weeks old until 18 wonderful years later, you were my special protector. Never afraid, never sick, I truly believe you lived so long because you didn't want me to be without you. You never changed until the day before you passed on. The light had just went out of your eyes and I knew you were ready to leave me. Until then, old pal. Cindy


Leo, 04/01/91-1/21/98

Your fur was solid black, but your heart was pure gold. I will love you and miss you everyday of my life, until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Loa Sweat


Leo, 06/12/98

Such a Good Kitty

Patrick Pearce


Leo, 3/8/78-3/12/98

For 20 years, Leo enriched my life and the lives of the others he lived with. I thought he was the best cat in the world: He was affectionate and never aloof, he purred REAL LOUD, he came when he was called, he was a great mouser and he loved me.

He was so loveable, he could even make my partner, who was allergic to him, come to love him as well. He walked on her face every night during the last year of his life to find his place at the head of our bed. And she even loved that.

Although he slowed down some in the last few years, he was remarkably healthy until the last week of his life. Then he just kind of quit. It is the life I think we should all aspire to: Live long, die fast, and be waited on all of your years by people who love you.

We will miss you always Leo. You were known by many names

Orange Boy, Lee Bones, Boney Boy , Mr. Cat, Lee Lee, Peanut Butter Cat, The Pold, The Prince, Furball, Kittyboy, Puke Facewalker, Fleo

but we loved you by all your names.

Shawna and Sharon


Leo, 1992-03/05/98

My Friend

Barry, Ethan, and Alexandra


Leo, 02/09/98

Leo your curiosity will be missed.

Steve


Leroy, 4/17/98

Leroy was my friend. He was my hero. The world was better from his back.
Images were clear, dreams reached their destination.
The traveller was safe. Do you think Angels ever wear long ears?.

Your partner, Bonnie


Leslie, 07/02/94-11/18/98

Farewell my sweet Leslie. For all the joy and happiness you have given me, For all the special moments that have brightened my life more then mere words can say, For all the wonderful days gone by, my final gift to you are wings to fly

Heather


Le-Ty, 11/04/85-04/28/97

Please come and visit US for the whole story. Le-Ty's Memorial Page: http://www.doglogic.com/le-ty.htm Read about my little boy's hard work to help keep his best buddy alive for several extra years. The story became a favorite in several places world wide.

Levi, 1/3/98

To my niece and her family....I feel your loss and we grieve with you

...Brad and Shar


Lew, 03/15/95-02/25/96

We miss you, Lew.

Diane King


Lexi, 12/97-6/2/98

I'd like to wish my Lexi all the love in the world, she was my buddy in every sense, she even sat and tanned with me few times.. She's gone now and I'm missing her more than I ever realized, I sat and cried all day just of her.  
Little thoughts kept rushing to my head like how she would run around the house, sleep next to my dog, eat her carrots, or even jump up on the couch to see who was up there. I still hear her little mouth drinking from her bottle!!!  
SHE will be missed by so many dearly

Mommy loves you Lex, I'll never forget or replace you!!!

Stacie Martin


Lexie Lou, 9/97-9/98

I need her to know I miss her so much and I love her too much!!

Mary Buechel


Liberty, 7/4/82-1/3/98

Liberty was a true and loyal friend. She was never treated like a dog, rather like a person. This caused Liberty to believe that she was a human. She preferred people food to dog food, the couch to the floor, and slept at night under the covers sprawled across our bed. For 15 1/2 years, Libby gave us love and happiness. We will miss her dearly. No other pet will ever be quite like her.

George, Joy, and Danielle Johnston


Lightning, 05/06/98

Lightning was a true friend although he did not like people much. He died from Cushings disease -- a terrible disease that wasted him away. A valiant sled dog, he always worked cheerfully. Lightning, I did everything I could for you, but I know sending you to the Bridge was best. See you on the other side, Buddy. I'll be looking for you.

M. Bonham


Lilac, 5/15/87-6/3/91

To Lilac, our little Budda-belly. You were the most unique cat in the world. I still miss your little white feet and the antics that were yours alone. I will never eat ice cream or green olives without thinking of you. Know you are loved and missed...........Sandy


Lil Bit, 11/19/98

God speed, little one.

Nancy


Lil Bit, 10/2/98

Our fearless "Little Bitty One" joined our family about 6 years ago. From the very start, our other dogs who were 5 times her size would back down to her. After all, she was tough.

She was willing to tackle all our adventures, including wrestling down those "killer snakes" although I think she would have preferred to pass on some of the swimming.

It wasn't all play however. There was work to be done, aiding me in making life better for my father with Alzheimers. She always seemed to know just what to do to help smooth the way.

Hopefully now she can see and hear so she can play again with the squeaky toys. She can now dig little holes to her hearts content and run through the tall grass with her floppy ears flying behind her. She will have Dorthy and my precious Missy to keep her company while she waits for the rest of us to join her in crossing the Rainbow Bridge.

Faith & Wally


Lilly, 9/11/89-7/27/97

Lilly, we miss you so much, you were one in million. Rog misses your bark and the way you always greeted him at the door. I miss your frisbee playing and the first snowfall was real hard( you loved to play in the snow). We wish we could have done more for you, but we are happy to know your last day with us was one with all your favorite things. Till we can be together again, you are in our hearts.

Diana and Roger


Lilly, 12/17/97

In memory of Lilly who died on the 17th of December 1997 of Macaw Wasting Syndrome the most affectionate and sweet little friend I've ever had, I love you Lilly Bird, I hope your flying and free of all pain now.

Mary


Lilly Polatty, 11/21/97

Dear sweet Lilly... you were such a treasure for the short time we had you. I will always love you. Rest well, you so well deserve it. Love you forever,

Leslie


Lily, 11/02/98

Our dog, Lily was hit by a car and died 11/02/98. She was a 3 yr old Lab-shepard mix. She gave us so much love and let us love her. It is so hard to go home and not have her welcome us.

We both feel so guilty because we feel that we should have prevented her escape from the house and into the street. But Lily was happiest when she was on her romp.

I never knew a dog could be so smart and loving. She would pick out the toy you asked her to retrieve from her toy box. She did everything she was asked except to come back from her romp.

I know she knew how much she was loved.

Ellen St.John


Lily, 01/22/94-06/30/98

We add Lily's name to the list in celebration of her life.

Laura and Dave Verbarg


Lincoln, 03/25/1982-09/25/96

Lincoln's barn name was Poneo. I sent him to slaughter and have regretted the decision ever since. I would like everyone to forgive me for what I did and hope that my Poneo is happier. I knew it was the end of the line for him when he couldn't even walk anymore. I wish I could have been there to help him move on. I loved him dearly and hope that he has forgiven me too.

Jennifer


Lincoln, 09/95-02/21/98

For Lincoln, who wasn't just a mouse, He was my best friend.
As small as he was, my love for him was limitless. I tried my best to make him as happy as possible because he gave me so much joy. His silly antics always made me laugh and I never got tired of watching him play. A little guy who meant the world to me. I will carry him in my heart always!
See you later, Linc. Love Andrew 02/21/98


Lincoln, 2/12/84-9/2/97

I will never get over the passing of my best friend. He could read my thoughts and knew exactly what I was going to do next. I see him everywhere I look in the house. We were alone together most of the time. I always said I didn't know what I would do if my beloved Lincoln ever left me and I was right I don't know what to do.

Judy Cramer


Lindsay, 07/13/83-05/13/95

Lindsay was a very special friend. She was gentle and loving to all who knew her.

Susan Bonfiglio


Lindsey, 10/4//88-10/1/98

Dearest Lindsey,
  Our loss is so new and raw we do not think we can bear it.
We love you and miss you soooo much.
We hope you are in good hands.
Until we meet again,

Mommie, Christa and Ben


Lindsey, 6/29/98

Lindsey, you were like a third child to me, I'll never forget you or stop loving you.

Mom


Lindy, 03/23/81-08/24/98

To our little girl, our best friend... we'll miss you, but will never forget.

Marlene and Gordon Hein


Ling-Ling, 02/15/98-08/03/98

Our hearts broke the day you left us.
We will look for you, when we all meet at the bridge.

Joseph & Carol Bush


Lionel

He adopted my mom when she lived in a flat some where in????. He was a very well behaved cat. It is sad to think I will never see him again!!! He had to be put down because of liver, walking and breathing problems!!! He was in so much pain I suppose it was the best thing we could of darling one!

We will always miss you darling one!

love
J.J. Fam


Lister, 10/31/97 to between 10/31 and 11/5/98

Little Lister, you brought joy into the heart of your foster mom, Susan, and your permanent family, The Snider's. We are all so very sorry that your time on this earth was so short, but in that short space of time you managed to wiggle your way into all our hearts. We will never forget you, and we will always miss you. Please send your spirit to comfort all of us during this time of great grieving, and let your families know that you are still the happy, healthy pup you were, only in a different place. Your Mom and Dad, as well as your foster Mom, will all be reunited with you one day at Rainbow Bridge; until then, rest in peace, sweet angel.

With love from the Elliott family (on behalf of the Snider family and foster Mom Susan)


Litla Dyrid (Junior), 11/15/95-05/05/97

I hope U will B waiting for me at The Bridge my dear little friend :'-(

Erla K. Sig


Little, 4/4/84-2/28/98

Little's gentle, generous little heart helped all of us through so much. We will never forget this incredibly unique, brave little girl. A couple of weeks before she went to puppy heaven, she was selected as Pet of the Day-- please check out her picture and story at http://petoftheday.com/archive/1998/February/15.html. Baby Little, a little bit of all of our hearts are being laid to rest along with you.

The Carducci Family


Little Bear

Although Little Bear was not with us but for four weeks, he was a very special little man..He was being raised on a bottle because his momma rejected him. He had the sweetest little nose and would use it to nuzzle me under the chin, twinkly eyes that seemed to grin, floppy little ears that were just meant to kiss...Before he passed he kissed me on the chin as if to say I am ready to go now momma, but I waited until you could be here to say goodbye..and died in my arms, which was his favorite place to be....
When I had to go and pack your things away I couldn't stop crying and thinking why did God take you away...Your toys and bottles and that darn old pacifier are put up as keep sakes and will be brought out again when I have a better understanding of why God took you away.. If there is a place in heaven for sweet little puppies, I know Little Bear is there doing all the things he didn't get to do while here on earth....Please dear God, take care of my Little Bear......

This little man stole my heart
I will never be the same again
Your safe in my heart forever
I miss you so deeply
The tears never stop
I LOVE YOU!!

Your time on earth with me was so short lived and in those years the bond grew with intensity, there will never be another you. I miss you baby, my life will never be as happy as it was with you in it. The heartache is neverending. MAMA LOVES YOU BIGGY!!

Little Bit, 04/28/90-5/98

You were always with us and will always remain with us in our hearts and on our minds. You always knew how much you were loved and we hope you know how much you are missed. Thanks for all of the love you returned, the little "I love you kisses" and the endless joy you gave us by being part of our lives. We love you and miss you very much. Mama and Daddy

Little Dolly Rose, 11/22/90-05/11/98

Dolly invaded our hearts and our home and she is has left a void in our world that at this moment seems can never be filled. Our furbaby left us unexpectedly and it is difficult to write this less than adequate tribute. Our children (3 - youngest age 27), jokingly accuse us of having more pictures of Dolly than any of them. Not true - but close. Dolly was a very photogenic furbaby. We love and miss our Dolly.

Little Grumpy

Little Grumpy
We did not mean for you to fall into the mop bucket. You are our special first pet since we moved from grandma and grandpas house into our own home. If you are needed more "across the bridge" then we will understand, but we are sure to see you later. Take care. We love you and will always remember how soft and furry and adventurous you are.

Donna and Amanda


Little Kitty Lee, 10/28/98

Such a sweet little kitten, you entered my life traumatically, but you still touched my soul. You are going to a much better place...follow the candlelight to the Rainbow Bridge, there are many others for you to play with and you will never feel fear or pain again. My love to you little one.

Little Mao, 11/92 - lost 11/25/96

My Little Mao -- my grey soulcat!
He pranced into my life when I moved to Shippensburg, PA to finish my graduate degree.
How I loved my Little Mao! His fur -- so thick! And such a long tail! He loved to play "mousey". He also loved to visit the other off-campus students.
Our little "ho", try as hard as I could, I could not make him an indoor cat. Once he was "lost" for 2 weeks and I was frantic. I got him back and I was so happy!
He loved for me to flip him "belly-side up" and "raspberry" his tummy!
Then in the fall 0f '96, my significant other and I started to split up and I began preparing to move. My soon to be ex-boyfriend assured me he would feed my kitty tribe. I came back and asked for my Little Mao and found out he was gone. Even though I had move almost 80 miles away, I went back to Shippensburg everyday for a month looking for Little Mao.
I kept going up there at least once a week for a year. I've advertised in 5 newspapers and contacted every vet and shelter in a hundred mile radius.
I've talked to former neighbors and posted notices in supermarkets and Laundromats. All to no avail.
My friends tell me that Little Mao was so friendly and beautiful, that someone probably took him home during the winter break, but I am uncertain.
I still cry and miss my Little Mao terribly. I dream of him and I feel so guilty.
The hurt doesn’t go away.

Little One, 10/12/98

To the little wild quail that ran in front of my car this afternoon. I'm so sorry "Little One", I could not have missed you.

Little One, 3/79-2/16/96

She suffered through so much, but was always a comfort for me.

Kim


Little Rotty Puppy, 1/26/98

The puppy never had a chance..born into a household of ignorance it was allowed to run free, and met a car on the road in front of it's house. It's owner said it should have known better. At 7 weeks with its' hip broken in 3 places, and it's rear leg broken in 2 places, she will be euthanized because its' too much of a financial burden..The only comfort is she'll no longer be in pain, and free to run where there are no cars...or ignorant humans....

Natalie


Little T, 07/31/95-03/04/98

Little T: You were my little miracle from the time I first laid eyes on you when you were 2 1/2 weeks old. You and your brothers and sisters stole my heart, but you held the most special place there. I cherish the short time we had together and will never forget you. You will always be mama's boy. I love you.

Laura Hickman


Lobito, 11/12/78-04/28/88

To a real friend; after ten years and already a grown man I still remember you as if it were yesterday. . .

Many days that you would follow,  
follow me into tomorrow,  
as if knowing I would sorrow,  
sorrow for your loss one day.

You were just a little being,  
when I saw you cuddly sleeping;  
sleeping in and under my red wood bench.

And I picked you up and hugged you,  
and for ten years I would have you,  
and you would follow me to cover,  
cover me from dangers ahead.

Ten years ago, your live expired,  
and winged seraphs your heart retired,  
and I began my sorrow, sorrow for you  
my friend.

Now you'll wait and wait on for me,  
like days before, and show me,  
show me the path across  
the bridge.

Loki, 12/14/84-8/96

Tho it's been 2 yrs I still miss you more than you will ever know. You, Quamby, JJ, Ginger, and Dusty all went within a year of each other and are together at the Bridge. Wait for me.

Sue Westhead


Loki, 06/02/82-10/13/98

Loki was the light of my life for 16 wonderful years. I will cherish his memory always and look forward to the time when I will be reunited with my very special furry guy.

Carole Green


Loki, 01/15/96-08/21/98

The best tribute I could give would be to wish a wonderful cat like Loki all the love I have for him that I didn't get the chance to give him during his too short time with me. I will be sending him that love every day for the rest of my life. I miss you so much Loki.

Sande


Loki, 11/27/92-04/23/97

Loki was and still is a very loved ferret. To get him to do his dance of joy, we used to pick him up and kiss him all up, then put him on the floor, and he would just go nuts. He was a very big & gentle little boy. We miss him dearly, and hope he is feeling much better and doing the dance of joy on the Rainbow Bridge. We love you Loki.

Teresa Lombardi


Loki, 12/15/95-06/20/98

In Loving Memory of my very special Elkhound, Loki. May you find peace at last. I love you and miss you more than you will every know. I take comfort in knowing that someday we will be together again and we will never be apart from that day on. I look forward to seeing your wonderful smile that told me how much you loved me more than words ever could.

Lord Odie, 12/06/94-11/20/97

Odie would have been 3 on Sunday. He was the most intelligent dog I have ever met. He lived to swim, hike, camp, and retrieve (I always wore out before he did:) He loved to perform tricks as well (of course for

treats:) Odie was also loving, loyal, and my best friend. Good bye Odie, I'll miss you.

Love,

Mom

Lori Darlin, 05/05/97-06/15/98

We had to say good-bye to Lori at 3:00 am. She had colitis, and had to be put to sleep. It was a very hard, and painful decision to make, but we loved her enough, to let her go. Now she is painfree, and happy, running in heaven with all of the other beloved pets, waiting for us to be together again. We miss her so much, and it has left an empty place in our hearts. Good-bye for now, Lori Darlin.

Cindy Coffman


Lost In Palmetto (Little Girl), 04/17/98-07/27/98

Louis Du Maurier, 11/11/98

Dear Louis,
You were our chou chou kitty ---our hearts are broken without you but we are so thankful for the time with you--we will never forget our honey boy. You were always so a character for which no one can take your place.  
We will see at the rainbow bridge--till then be happy

We love you always,  
Pam, Kim & Valerie


Loveman, 7/31/87-9/1/98

Loveman, my heart of hearts, my angel. You gave me the deepest closest love two beings can share. I miss you so. There is such an empty space around me; you were always there, part of my every waking and sleeping moments. Now you are with Princess and I am at peace knowing she welcomed you and the two of you will continue lifetimes together. You are in peace, beauty, love and bliss, and you will always live in my heart. My heart aches in missing you, but rejoices with your joy and peace. I love you, Love.

Gr.Ch. Fewsee Love Potion of BurmaSauras, 12/31/89-06/29/98

Graceful and regal Po, you were one of the favored two when visitors came to the house. I wish I could have made your experience diferent, better than it was. You had been many places before coming to live with me. Yet, you endured. In three short years, you touched my heart and your presence made my home a better place to be. I'll always remember the cat who "hugged", and never failed to shower me with head-butts and kitty kisses. We all miss you! Rest in peace.

Lovey, 4/08/85-9/14/98

9:00 A. M.

As I sit on my friend Carmi's back porch and watch Lovey curled up on her blanket, Surrounded by crisp autumn air and birds singing, bathed in the magic of pure morning sunlight which seems to cleanse her, illuminate and soften her and which seems to form a halo around her, her white-blonde head is brightened, lightened, by a sacred, simple glow.  
She seems almost raised up, lifted higher, elevated toward some more lofty level of her being, the next step in her journey, perhaps in preparation for her transition.  
And I'm amazed, shocked, saddened, confused, scared, in disbelief, not ready to accept, not understanding, torn apart, lonely, heartbroken, alienated, isolated, dying a little bit inside at the thought and the feeling that this is our last morning together, our last day together.  
As I try to prepare for the loss of my friend, my best friend, my guide, my spirit mate, my companion, my daughter, my girl, my pretty little girl, my Lovey, my love unit, my muffin head, I'm at a bit of a loss as to why this has to happen. Why does she have to leave me? Why is such a bond formed between us and animals when there is such a mismatch in life spans.  
Then a wisp of cool, fresh Autumn breeze stirs and the aroma of wet, dying leaves and wood wafts past my nose and I feel the seasonal change coming and I sense the continuing cycle moving from one stage to the next, I'm reminded that all things beautiful eventually come to decay, and that death touches life, and sadness touches joy, and blackness touches light, and beauty is darkened by pain, and all dualities coexist and intermingle in some strange balance, and that not all steps in life are easy, but they must happen to complete the dance......  
Given half a chance, I would dance the dance all over again with her........my beautiful dog.  
She has brought me so much joy in life.  
The depth of my pain is only a reflection of the years of intense joy and play she gave me.  
...Thank you Lovey.

8:30 P.M.  
Lovey left us two hours ago at our home here in Colorado. We had a beautiful ceremony, a very peaceful transition.  
Say a prayer for her...........thank you.

John Donohie  9/14/98


Lovey, 05/10/98

Lovey was a victim of violence for thrills.
She was a stray that was loved, a mom to be.
A very kind and gentle kitty.
Loved and named by a 5 year old.
Loved by Blush's Humoon and a friend who cared for her.

Ruth


L.P., 02/15/89-07/21/93

Once in a while a dog comes along.... A dog who changes the way you live... A dog who teaches you about loving and giving and laughing... L.P. was such a dog. Though her time was unbearably short, everyone who knew her was left with an impression of how special she was. A much-loved and truly missed friend.

Lucifer, 1984-12/25/98

Lucifer was an exceptionally loving cat, always wanting to be held or touching me in some way. For 14 years he was not only in the bed at night, but on top of me if possible and up against my legs if it wasn't. He followed me around the house like a dog, never letting me out of his sight. The feeling was mutual and I never tired of giving him all love and attention he demanded. He traveled across the American continent with us in our RV from Florida to California, from Alaska to Newfoundland. I can't remember when he wasn't around, a constant source of love, pleasure and companionship. and a real member of the family.

Robin McGrath


Lucky, 06/91-12/03/98

Lucky, your love was unwavering. You were so innocent, childlike, and completely trusting; yet, you had a wonderful sense of humor, too. You were sensitive and your beautiful eyes expressed softness and vulnerability. Your hair was silky and sleek. You are my "forever" dog...for always. I knew that the moment I held you at the adoption center. We had 7-1/2 years of love and joy. Taken so suddenly, your going was even harder than could ever be imagined. The other dogs miss you, too, especially Janna and Bubba. I am comforted to know about the Rainbow Bridge. Mommy and Daddy will always love and miss you.

You're Mommy's baby girl.

Clara Landau


Lucky, 11/17/98

Lucky was my heart.

He came into my life one spring day, in 1988. I met him while he was hanging around the bird feeder. I started feeding him and had him neutered and got him all his shots, but was not going to keep him as I already had two shelter cats(Barney and Bodhi)who were very jealous.

To look at Lucky, you could tell he had had a hard life before he came out of the field and walked into mine. Still--how could I keep him? So, he visited me every evening and I fed and loved him and tried to find him a home. One day, his otherwise streetwise guard was down as he followed me down the road. Lucky was it by a car and the people wouldn't even stop until I flagged them down. "You hit my cat!" I cried. And then I knew. He had pelvic fractures and lung hemorrhages, and the vet didn't think he would live, but he did. He had to be confined in the house in a cage for several weeks till he could walk properly. By then we knew we were meant to be together. Barney and Bodhi never quite forgave me, but Amie wandered into our lives in much the same way, three years later. I was trying to find her a home, too, but in Amie, Lucky had finally found someone to love and who loved him back--other than me. It was a real love affair. We all miss him, and Amie, who is recovering from cancer surgery(please pray for her too)is grieving intensely for Lucky. They were inseparable.

I guess what I want to say about Lucky is that he taught me that the best things in life are unplanned(like him), and that he showed me what it was like to be truly loved, accepted and forgiven. I have never known the level of pure affection and devotion from any living being(including my beloved dog Happy who was my female soulmate and passed away 14 years ago)as I received from Lucky. He was an unplanned, unexpected gift from God. And now, sadly, I must give him back to God, if I am ever to heal.

Lucky was sweet and gentle and forgiving.  
He demanded little and gave so much.  
He knew what was important in life and had enough love for everyone. I miss his purrs in my neck, and how he would snuggle against my heart. I never expected to fall in love with him, but how could I not?

I thought there was no more room in my house or my heart for another animal.

"Across my heart I put a sign  
'There is no thoroughfare'  
But love came laughing by and cried,  
'I enter everywhere'"

by Jimmy Lewis

"Perhaps you'll need me again sometime.  
If you call me then, I won't come crudely  
on horseback or by train.  
You'll have to listen within yourself  
Then you will notice that I am within you."

by Hermann Hesse

Go in peace, gentle boy.

Love,
Robin (Figlin) and Amie, Barney and Bodhi

Lucky

Lucky-The best friend anyone could find. Never a problem and always treated everything with gentle paws. The hardest decision I've ever had to make by myself was to have you put down. If there would have been anyway to save you I would have done it. Like John says you acted almost human and it scared him to look into your eyes. But he admits that he would have trusted you with anything and you wouldn't have hurt it. He often says he can't believe that you took that little fragile kitten in your mouth and then into your house and never hurt it. I most of all miss how you tried to talk to me when you seen me. Take care of Bear you know how you took care of her since she was little. You would clean her ears and made sure she didn't get out of the pen.
Bear-Well your with Lucky now. I knew from the day that we took Lucky away that you missed her. A few weeks later and the first time you ever got loose we lost you, too. I hope you didn't suffer. We always said you were lucky to be alive because when we got you the vet didn't know if you would make it through the night. You were John's dog. He always wanted a husky since someone got rid of his one day. You were a present from me to him. We'll never forget how when we shook the leashes both of you would go crazy to take a walk. I wish we could have had one last walk. God Bless both of you and we'll always love and remember both of you in our hearts.

The Best Little Kitty A Daddy Ever Had
--and my best friend forever! Thank you for 5,930 special days together. I will always love you, my little Lucky buddy. Doing without your special love is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. It is only the hope of seeing you again someday at the Rainbow Bridge that makes it possible for me to go on. Till then, I will cherish the memory of our special bond for the rest of my life. There will never be another one like you, and it has been an honor to have shared this time with you. Farewell--but NOT goodbye!

Lucky Dog, 08/23/98

Lucky was an abuse case who suffered for 6 years before finding a kind, loving home. He taught us all about trust and second chances. He touched the lives of many people. He was so beautiful and sweet. He is greatly missed by his friends, his Mom, Chloe(cat-sister) and Marley (dog-sister). We wish we could see you running in heaven golden boy ! Wait for us....

Amie Wiseman


Lucky F., 5/91-11/28/98

Lucky F. was the sweetest being I have ever known. For 7 years, she filled my life with joy and purpose. No one has ever been more loved than she. She loved life, and I delighted in watching her experience things and learn about the world. She was gentle, sensitive and smart. Her actions clearly showed that she understood everything. Her deep green eyes spoke volumes. We were more than "best friends"; it was almost as if we were one and the same being, sharing a single soul. She was taken too soon. During the last year of her life, I devoted my life to nursing her and attempting to save her, and the bond between us grew even stronger. On Thanksgiving weekend, she finally succumbed. Now, although I can no longer touch her or hold her, she will live on in my heart forever.

Andrea F.


Lucky Gene, 09/22/98

My wonderfully sweet and loving "pumpkinpie" Lucky. How happy you made us while you were here.  
You shared your life with us and gave us so much happiness and never asked for anything in return. All you wanted was our love, which you received, every minute of every day of your life.  
I know that someday when I see you again you will be so healthy and able to run and play with me again. What a wonderful time we'll have together for always. Daddy and I miss you so much and you are in our hearts, please never fear that we will forget you. You are always here with us.

Naomi Hersh Clackum


Lucky M., 1/18/98

We named him Lucky because we got him from the pound. He had terrible patches on his face like his face had been smeared in feces. We loved him, scrubbed him, he was smart and we were training him. I was so proud of him. He followed me everywhere. We bonded. He'd learned to go potty outside. I taught him to scratch at the door. He loved yarn and elastic. He'll always have a special place under my loom. I'm not mad he chewed up my berkenstocks anymore. He loved socks and shoelaces. He was funny. He could defy gravity. He was cool. He will be missed. He was only here two months, and I've cried for two days. I don't know how I'll ever stop. Hit-and-run sucks. At least his last two months were happy...

Danita Marrs


Lucky Puppy, 05/20/98

Our lucky puppy, we miss you every day. In our hearts you are resting now, and playing like you loved to. You are home with us now, forever. Thank you for trying so hard to stay with us, and for all the wonderful warm memories.

Janice Posey


Lucy, 8/96-11/25/98

Lucy, I loved you so much and still do. I wish I didn't have to let you go when I did -- or at all -- but I didn't want you to suffer through another surgery, or be alone when you went. I hope you're in a place now where you can breathe freely and chase feathers, and that you understand. Your sister and I both miss you, and hope we really do get to see you again someday at the Bridge.

Loreen


Lucy, 12/22/88-11/17/98

We will keep her close in our hearts and minds always. She was a cherished and beloved best friend. We love Lucy!

Lucy, 09/01/97

Lucy,

It's been a year since I authorized your euthanasia and held you for the last time. They told me the lung cancer was inoperable and I didn't want you to suffer. I still think of you every day and miss seeing your sweet white face in the window, although we put prayers, candles, and flowers there. I remember how you slept with me every night and the night you woke me up when the toaster filled the apt with smoke. You saved my life. I wish I could have saved yours.

Now precious Pushkin, our little Russian Blue, has died of FIP after only 10 months on earth. You never met him, but please look for him at the Rainbow Bridge. He is small but loves to play. Keep him safe and loved until we can hold you both again.

Tears and kisses, Mom


Lucy, 7/22/84-9/1/98

Lucy, our beautiful girl with the most perfect face, we'll never forget the 14 wonderful years that we shared. You were our first show dog, the first pet of our marriage, and the most beautiful corgi we have ever seen. We remember how you used to love to chase water from a hose, how you loved playing ball with Alex, and how lucky we were that you survived the two incidents where fever and infection almost took you from us much too soon. Even at 14 it seems too soon and we will always miss you and your loving ways.

Judy, David, Sam & Isabel

Lucy, 03/26/87-06/29/98

Lucy and I had such a special bond and connection. We could read each others thoughts and we didn't have to say anything to know what the other was feeling or wanted. She was my shadow. Everywhere I went she was right next to me. If I was in the garden, she was lying next to me. If I was on the computer she was right next to me. Although she didn't like me to be on the computer because she wasn't getting attention.

We had our rituals and she would let me know it if was time for her twice daily pill, time to go to bed or time for a walk. Sometimes she could be pretty persistent if I didn't respond immediately.

When we found out Lucy had heart disease in 1997 it was a manageable stage. It was possible it would not get worse. Then on March 14, 1998 we found out it had progressed. We were given another 3 - 6 months together. I was completely devastated. We had professional photographs taken of her and of us together. I borrowed a camcorder and took videos of our every day life and of our special days.  
I was told to make the best of this summer. I truly feel we made the most of every moment. I have no regrets. She had a wonderful life and she gave me a wonderful life.
Memories of her are a gift.

The afternoon before she died she seemed fine. If anything had changed she didn't let me know. I was told the changes would happen very fast. That evening she had a hard night. She passed away sometime after midnight Monday June 29, 1998. I found her in the morning. I hope with all my heart it didn't hurt. If I hadn't of seen her myself I don't think I would have believed it. I still don't.  
This is so, so hard.

It has only been 4 days now. Now the hardest thing for me if that Lucy is becoming a memory. I don't want her to become a memory. I want her.

When she first became sick I would read "Rainbow Bridge" to her often. I told her over and over to wait for me there and I would pick her up. It is such a comfort to me to think of her happy and playing all day. Dying is always hardest on those who are left. I will take the pain so she can be free of it.

Lucy, you gave so much love and devotion to your Mom. She loves and misses you so much and will never be able to forget all the affection you gave to her. Your determination helped her overcome cancer for the second time and for that I, as her daughter, thank you. God Bless you Lucy, play all you want and wait for Mom by the Rainbow Bridge.

Luger, 11/71-12/82

My beloved Luger. I remember so clearly his joy in being close to me. I remember well how sick he was as a puppy. His life was always blighted by illness but he was strong and brave and I refused to give him up that easily. Together we overcame his sickness and he lived a long and happy life and was a wonderful friend to me. When his time came to leave I was honoured to be able to give him a dignified departure despite the pain it caused me.

Even after all these years my heart still aches for my pets. Nothing will ever replace them.  
I still grieve for them.

Sincerely  
Sylvia Gartland


Luke, 02/09/92-10/14/98

My Dear Baby Luke (2/9/92 - 10/14/98),
You were always my little gentleman. I miss you so much. I remember the first time I saw you at the Humane Society, all wet from your flea bath...you were so handsome! The little Siamese mix with the white feet & white nose....all you needed was a bowtie & you'd look like you were wearing a suit! You are my shy guy, the one who quietly came around to rub up against my leg, or follow me into the bathroom for your favorite ""Kitty Cocktail"" - fresh water from the tap, that you also liked to play with. I remember you chasing your own tail in circles in the laundry basket, & playing with the ice cubes in your little water fountain. I see Sammy & I cry; you two are my matching bookends, looking so much alike. Sammy, Saber, & Simba miss you very much. They've been sleeping on your blanket & on the towels you sat on in the window sill, sniffing your scent. I remember the nite you escaped & I cried all nite, afraid you'd get run over, but the next morning, you were at the door, meowing & jumping into my arms. I never dreamed you'd have to move on so soon & so suddenly. I've cried every day. I saw a beautiful kitty at the pet show today that looked like you & I cried. I would have loved to bring him home, but right now, I couldn't risk exposing him to FIP. He had 3 families apply to adopt him today, so he will go to a good home. I hope the other kitties do too. I also asked about where to make a donation to research on FIP, so they can find a cure. This all happened too fast. I am so happy I brought you home for those last days. You cheered me up. I will cherish those afternoons in the sun, when you looked so happy curled up in the grass & rolling around on the sidewalk. I will remember you enjoying the turkey, purring when I rubbed your head & looking at us as we turned out the light on the last nite you were of this world. You have given me a world of love & I hope I was able to do the same for you. I continue to talk about you in the present tense, because I believe that you are with us. When kitties & other pets & people go to heaven, I believe they have that power. I dream you are curled up with us. I sense you sitting across my shoulders, purring & licking my face, because you want me to be happy. Sometimes you curl up with your brothers & sisters & give them kisses. I believe that we can talk to you any time & you hear us. I believe that you talk to us too. Your spirit is with us & even though our mortal eyes can't see it, our faith CAN! Say hello to Uncle Al, Aunt Trixi, KiKi, Mittens, Missy 1&2, Whitey, Molly, Alex 1&2, MeLing, GG, John, Aunt Esther & so many others who have gone before us. I love you so much my dear little Man In White Spats. You are so beautiful & so good, my Kitty Guardian Angel. Talk to you soon!!! I know you are with us! We love you always!!!!

Mom, Dad, Allen, Mindy, Sammy, Saber & Simba


Luke, 09/09/93-06/05/98

Luke (or Louis, as I usually called him) was my best friend. He talked to me, he slept with me, and anytime I had a lap, he was in it. I am only glad he is no longer suffering. I love you Louis.

Lulu, 08/28/98

Lulu was my mom's cat. We never expected Lulu to live to the age of 23 years and 3 months. Last August she developed what the vet thought was Alzheimer's. She lost control of her kidneys and most of her eyesight. My mom had no choice but to put her to sleep. It was devastating for all of us and my mom felt so guilty. But to watch her live the way she was in those last weeks was pathetic. She had no quality of life. Lulu gave us all so much joy. To be quite honest, we miss her more than most of our relatives. Bye bye, Lulu. We'll meet again one day.

Chris


Lulu, 11/04/97

This is my tribute to my long-time companion, Lulu.
She was with me all through my childhood, 4-14. Ten splendid years with the most wonderful dog in the world. I may only be a teenager but I know what it is to love. I loved my dog. She was a part of our family and losing her was the hardest thing in the world. We had to put her to sleep because she had cancer in her bladder and she couldn't go to the bathroom or walk anymore. She is not a famous dog, but she is my hero. Because of her I have decided to devote my life to dogs. I have already decided to name my kennels after her so her memory can live on forever, I know it will, deep in my heart.

Lumbo, 09/11/98

Lumbo, I miss you terribly. You brought love and companionship to my life for 17 years.

Lumbo loved everyone and demanded that everyone loved on him. He would go around the room to make sure everyone got a chance to pet him.

His favorite morning chore was to make sure everybody woke up. He'd go from bedroom to bedroom making sure we all got out of bed. After we were all awake, had let him outside and fed him breakfast, he'd disappear. We'd be sitting at the table eating breakfast and reading the newspaper wondering where Lumbo was. It never failed. He'd be back in his room snoozing away, happy that he'd been so successful in his morning work.

I'm sorry you had to feel any pain Lumbo. Old age finally caught up with you, and we had to help you cross the bridge. You are the most loving soul I've ever known. You only deserve the best. I'm sure you're getting plenty of snacks and attention across the bridge. I'll see you there someday.

Stephanie


Luna, 9/81-4/10/98

Luna Tuna, the bed is cold without your warm furry, purry self. Blossom and Turtle miss sleeping with you, too. Your sweet essence is with us all the time. Missing your hugs, dear kitty girl--Love, Kim


Lupi, 05/89-06/06/98

Lupi was a loving, faithful companion. He was a very strong presence in our daily lives. He was the most intelligent dog we've ever known. He loved walks, rides, hikes in the woods, trips to Shenandoah National Park, food, cheese, biscuits, treats, snacks, and cat food. Most of all, Lupi loved being with us. He was especially happy when he went with us to visit his extended pack. Lupi's sudden, untimely death has left us heartbroken. We will never forget him. We rescued Lupi from a shelter in 1990; in return he gave us almost 8 years of unconditional love. Lupi never had any interest in wandering away; only death could take him away from us.

My Baby Fish;

I leave the light on for you every night hoping that you can see it and still feel a part of the family because you are still thought of every day. I also hope that Max is there with you and that you are both happy and healthy again.

Until I see you again
All My Love
Mama


Luther, 03/03/92-10/11/98

I would do anything to bring back my best friend, if it were only possible. I couldn't have asked for a better soul mate. I always wanted to be with him and he always wanted to be with me. I desperately hope that he has found peace and the only thing that keeps me going is the possibility of reuniting with him someday. He was truly my best friend.
