Carmel was such a good guinea pig. I still remember when my family and I first held him at Petsmart. When he died, I grieved for weeks. It still hurts now.

Cab was the best dog anyone could ever know.When I think about him I know he would lick my tears if he was still here.I loved Cab.But oneday after school,poor old Cab left this cruel world.Ill alays miss my buddy.Good-Bye dear Cab.

Dear Cabo, You were such a sweet little guinea pig and I know that I was your best friend for your brief stay on this earth. Thank you for bringing so much love into my life. I will never forget you! Love, Your Mom, Susan

Bientôt 6 ans et tu me manques toujours mon beau grand chat tabby. Merci pour ce regard intense où j'ai si souvent noyé mes peines et cette immense tendresse que tu m'as appris à partager. Jo.

Caesar was my best friend!. Caesar was a Tibetian Lhasa Apso. In 1990, Caesar came into my life; he was brought into the Vet Hospital where I worked. The owner wanted him put to sleep, but he was so darn adorable, Well, I lied & said we would do it for free. Three weeks later, Caesar was a member of my family. The years have flown by, and I want the world to know Caesar was also my hero!. I was in a Domestic Violence marriage, and when I decieded to leave, this is what happened. My ex had grabed me and stopped me from leaving, when out from under our bed, Caesar flew out and grabed his arm and wouldnt let go!. I ran out, got into my car, was ready to leave, and here came Caesar running, and my "little-man" flew thru the passenger window, into his seat!..Caesar had saved my life that day!. He always knew when I was comming home as neighbors said, usually 1/2 hour before I came home, he would get in the window, and stay there till I pulled into the driveway.
On January 13, 2003, at 8:15am, with Caesar in my arms,You crossed over the "Rainbow Bridge". I miss you so, darn much, 'little-man', and a day doesnt go by that I dont think of you. Thank you Caesar, for my life, and please understand, I did everything I could to save and prolong your life. The Vet said it was a "terminal disease of the liver", and all we could do was to keep you pain free. I will always remember, you had gone into a coma, but on that morning, you opened your eyes, and again, for the last time, we connected, then you took your last breath, and I knew you were crossing over the "Rainbow Bridge", that all Lhasos know about.
I will love and miss you forever Caesar. I know you are waiting for me. I hope your sister, Pearley, the white cat, and Keri, the outside stray are there with you to play with. Always remember Mommy loves you!

Cagney, You were and are our grey tabby angel! We loved you so completely. We know you feel better now, and have a big warm sunspot to nap in! Now, you really are "Mr. Happiness-Boy!" We will see you later, sweetie. All our love, Mommy and Daddy

Caila was a good dog. OK, maybe she ate too much (esp. Jenny's Easter Basket), but she was good. Except when she ate David's glasses. And when she bit the paperboy. Or when she bit Jenny. She was a good dog.

If this is too long I will understand. I had to let my beloved friend of many years, not enough due to wobblers. Upon having to do this I did not have it in my heart to say want to go for a ride and that be his last ride. My vet came to my home and I held Zeke in my arms whilst he drew his last breath. It was one of the worse devastaions of my life. My father penned me a letter at the time. I had never received a letter from my dad in my life. Little did I know that he would be gone in four short months. It is this letter that I would like to share as a tribute to Zeke and the man who was my father that said good bye to his daughter via the form of her love of a doberman that to this day is in a can at my side.

November 24, 1993
Dear Bryanne:
Just a short note to share youu sadness at this time of loss. Those less fortunate who have never known the love, loyalty, companionship and pure enjoyment you and I have experienced with our "best friends" would never understand. It is their loss, and we are all the richer for having known it. Try not to dwell on the sadness of loss but rather upon the countless hours, days, weeks, months and years of obedient happiness he brought into your life, and remember also that you contributed the same to his. That he was a happy boy is a tribute to your love and devotion for him and he left with the knowledge that he had to be something special. "How else," he would reason, "was I able to claim a whole couch as my own?" Time is a great healer and the pain softens with it's passage. You will see, as did I, but I know that's no consolation now. His time had come, and you did right by allowing him to depart with the grace and dignity he had earned and so richly deserved.

I know also that your loss was Mike's loss, and you are very fortunate to have a good man with whom to share.

Love Dad

Well thats it - I'm sobbing over a dobe named Zeke and a man named Jay who was my Dad and time isn't helping yet. But there it is.
Thank you
Bryanne Ineson

Baby, I've missed you so much. The hurt has faded, but I will never forget you. I wish you could have been with us longer, but I know it was your time to go. Looking back, watching you die for a month was one of the hardest things I ever had to do, but I wonder, was it right? Please forgive me, Cali, if we hurt you. We love you, and we will never ever forget you.

Caligula the cat, a tough little black and white chap, died peacefully at the vet's on 25 June 1996 aged nearly 20 years. We shall miss his little tricks.

We miss you and love you very much. I wish we could have had more time together. Rest well my loving friend. Love you, until we are together again....Mom

My dearest Callie - I know that you are now at peace - I held you in my arms and it was so very quick. You are now with sister Whiskey and my little grandson C.J. I told Whiskey to make sure C.J. doesn't scare you like his mommy use to do to you. I will be sending your favorite mousies for you and Whiskey to have. I'm so afraid without you - I miss you so very much and I hope I can cope with this. I still haven't recovered from Whiskey dying 3 years ago and now this. Please know that I didn't want you to suffer the way she did. Shadow misses you and Amber (bitch-cat) will never join you there. I have to go - I love you very much. Love, Mommy

Callie, you were a great kitty we miss you dearly,you were a very important member of our family we think about you everyday. I think dude misses you the most. Im so sorry but we couldnt let you suffer anymore. youll always be our special kitty. we love you, julie,pat,and dude.

My sweet little Callie, I cannot believe you are gone...how can there be a god to have killed you so cruelly, without a reason...I cannot forgive that god, or the person who killed you...I cannot stop crying for you, CalCal, I just want you back...I cannot forget the night you were born, and I cannot forgive the day you were killed...I love you little CalCal, you kept me going every day and every night--and I cannot think of any reason to get out of bed anymore, or to take another breath. If there is no room in Heaven for you, there is no room in Heaven for me...forgive me, Callie, for letting that person in our house...mea culpa, Callie, mea culpa...I love you so much...

Beautiful mutt, enthusiastic snowball chaser, and irredeemable schnorrer, Calli, a"h, brightened our lives for 14 years. Now gone, she lives on in our hearts and memories.

Buried within sight and smell of the Chesapeake Bay. I do hope you find it pleasant. Thackeray doesn't replace you: He just tries to distract Clementine and I from remembering you.

To our beloved Calvin Cuddles, the African Daschund, you are gone but not forgotten. Sarah and I are lost without you on a night, no-one is there to lick us(!!) or provide us with our much needed cuddles. Life will never be the same again, in fact we are killing ourselves now with slow poison. We will join you soon in heaven. Until that time, we adore you forever. Much love mama and Sarah cuddles.xx

Dearest Calypso, my beautiful little Abyssinian cat, you were the most loving and affectionate cat. But all that love could not protect you, not even two years old when you died. I will always love you and I will never forget you. I am grateful for the time we had together and I just wish we could have had longer. Su.

Father Above, please bless Thy beasts and singing birds, And guard with tenderness Small things that have no words. I'm sorry I wasn' t there, Cammie. We miss you.

Cameron and Shawn are my two little boys. The first time I saw them
a co-worker of mine and my friend's told us he had a couple cats that
needed homes in his barn. These two were lying on frozen ground in
January. I couldn't resist taking them home.
Cameron had the habit of acting (if the cats would please pardon the
expression) somewhat like a puppy. He'd play tug-of-war with kitty
toys and growl. It was so cute. I remember when he'd bat me awake
in the mornings. Shawn was more of a lap cat. He loved to cuddle. He and Cameron were
both great fathers to the kittens. They'd curl up with them and bathe
them. Shawn would eat almost anything...including peanuts!
It breaks my heart to say both of my little boys are no longer with us.
I miss them so much. They were the best little boys in the world.

Spirit that we can never forget. Color and markings that were striking. There is an empty place in our hearts - we will meet you someday on the rainbow bridge. You better not forget us "Wall-nut-O"!

We lost you before your time! Sorry buddy! I'm doing fine and each time I go to bed I miss you. Each day I am reminded of what happened! Your daughter and some grandchildren are now Champs too! Listen for the waves of the ocean on the rocks - we are there - thinking of you and still loving you!

Candice I miss you so much. I cant quit crying. you were the one person I could talk to and you actually listened. you made me really happy and no other animal or person can ever ever take your place! rest in peace :). Steeze

Candy, you were the sweetest little puppy that ever lived. I miss the way you used to run and jump through the leaves and the hay. You used to run away a lot, but you were just being a dog. We love you and miss you. Have fun in heaven, where you belong. I only wish we had known what was wrong with you and had taken you to a vet sooner. Lord be with you until we meet again. Love, Tyra, Cierra, Kelli, and Danielle Newman

I lost my dear beloved dog Candy when she was 17 years old. She was my true, faithful and loyal friend for all of those years, and not a day goes by when I don't think of her, and miss her. May you have happiness and peace my dear girl, and know we will be together again. I love her dearly. There will never be another dog for me like she was.

Our little angel was sick when she arrived in our home. We were so blessed to have her in our lives, even though it was for such a short time. You died in my arms, but you will live forever in my heart. I will never forget you. Daddy cut down the shrubs so he could bury you under our bedroom window. We buried you in your favorite little bed, with your little teddy bear and pictures of all of us. Good nite little angel, sleep in the lords arms until we can hold you in our again.

Cappi was a very nice guinea pig. She was the best friend of Guinea and her owner, Kara, loved her very much. She lived to a very old age for guinea pigs and had a long and happy life.

Más que un perro, un buen amigo Leo

My wonderful loving Golden Retriever Sam came to us many years ago out of a newpaper add. He came cheap by monetary standards, but gave us priceless years of love, fun, loyalty and peace. He could put three tennis balls in his mouth at once, wagged his tail so hard in pleasure when anyone came to the door that he would lose his balance, slept with me spread out all over the bed, and played with my son's bowling ball thinking it was a good looking girl dog!:D He became deaf in his old age, he became lame with a neurological breakdown, and spent his last minutes on a table at the doctor's office with his head in my arms as I put him to eternal rest. My wonderful vet donated some funds to the Illinois Vetrinary Hospital in his name, and it warmed my heart, and made me cry...for even after all this time, I still miss him as much today as yesterday. The love I feel for Sammydog is as strong today as it has ever been, and I thank him for giving my life a gift I can never repay. I miss you Sam..and I love you..

Your Mom,
Mary

Captin Spack you were a really nice and fun rat to play with. I really miss you and I'm so sorry that I was gone when you got killed. 1995 - 1997

Capucine était une 'chatte de gouttière' absolument adorable. Elle a été le soleil de ma vie durant les quatorze années que nous avons passées ensemble. Sa soeur Samie et moi la pleurons toujours. Depuis son départ, j'ai réalisé que la mort d'un animal que l'on a aimé crée un vide aussi grand dans une vie que celle d'un être humain. Je dois à Capucine mon amour pour les animaux et ma préoccupation pour leur bien-être.

Dearest Cari, There has never been one of sweeter disposition than you. Just as some people are loved by all, your gentle, ladylike demeanor endeared you to everyone--human, feline and canine! You never even had a problem with the other cats. Smokey, Brandy and Fluffy looked up to you as the senior cat, but even as the years rolled by, you were as playful as when you were a kitten and took great pleasure in playing ball and kneading your pals every day. How I berate myself for leaving the garage door open that night so that Smokey could come in.(Bad boy had stayed out way past his alloted curfew, and I, tired from work, could stay up no longer to see him safely in.) I never thought that you would leave the safety of the house in the dark of night, or at first light. But that must be what you did, and I ,sleeping, could not keep you from danger. We will never know what fate befell you, dearest Cari Mae. But if you are up there somewhere, please know that we all love and remember and miss you every day, our ray of sunshine---dear sweet kitty, Cari Mae! I always keep a pretty flowering plant in your memorial by the front door and hope that keeps your spirit near us. We miss you. Love, Your Family

The passing of my most treasured friend has my heart
heavy in a way I never felt before. Carl jo has always
been there for me through thick and thin. She had a great life and an alful passing. I will always remember all the pleasure she gave me. She seemed to know when I needed
cherring up. God Bless her as now my life will not be the
same. I will miss her forever and I do not know how to get
on with out her. Take care my Baby Carl, may the sun
shine on you foreever.

Love You Always,

Your Mommy

Caroline Anne was a nice friend and was veary unusal.Iwill alwase rember her for her odd way of saying hello.altho she died during a graduation party,it was sad to see her stiff and spred out beside the edge of her cage. Caroline will be good in heaven and wil never live the same.

For 16 years the sunshine in our home. There will never be another westie like her. Sadly missed.

I adopted Carter when he was nine months old from the Houston Humane Society. He was there for me so many times when I didn't have anybody else. I never had to be lonely or feel like I was alone in the world because he was there for me. He used to tell me it was my bedtime by standing in between the living room and bedroom staring at me. It was like he was saying "Well, are you coming yet Mom?" Since it was just him and I, we would never shut any inside doors. Whenever there was company, I'd have to shut the bathroom door, and he didn't like that! He'd sit outside the door and stick his paw underneath to try and open it so he could see me. He'd just about stand on his head trying to look under the door and get a glance of me. He would lay on the toilet lid while I was in the shower because he liked to hear me singing in the shower. He would lay on my chest and tap his paw on my chin when he wanted to be pet. And if I didn't he'd press harder until I would. If I stopped petting him, he'd do it again. He was so smart. He didn't like people food very much if you tried to feed it to him. He only liked it when he had to snatch it away from you while you weren't looking. Out of all the toys I'd ever given him, his favorite was the plastic ring from the milk top. He'd dig it out of the garbage and pick it up with his paw, throwing it in the air and then chasing it as if someone else had thrown it. Recently, while on a journey to self discovery, someone asked me what makes me happy. I asked them "what does it mean to be happy?" They said that it was when you got a feeling of warmth and contentment in your heart. I answered them, "I'm happy when my cat loves me" About a year ago, Carter got sick and the vet said unless he had a specialist he was going to die. I panicked because I had run out of money, and I sadly took him home to die. I cried so much during that time, and I prayed a lot to God. I asked him to please not take Carter away from me. Not yet, not now. I need him, I'm not ready. Just a little longer. And God answered my prayer. Carter lived for another year, and then, he unexpectedly passed away. I loved him very much, and I pray that he doesn't feel bad that I didn't try harder to keep him alive. He is very much missed and has left a very empty space in my heart and in my life.

Casanova was a blessing in disguise. He was an older Himalayan in need of someone to help him through his last eight months; I needed a friend after a difficult personal time. We carried each other through some the toughest times of our lives, and when the time was right, God willed us to move on with new lives.

We will never forget each other. Cassie, I miss you and love you.

It seems as though Cascha has always been a part of our lives. We had been married 3 years and both desperately wanted a dog. Finally, we had the house, the yard and the fence - so we got the dog, too. She was the most adorable little, black German Shepherd - the dog of my dreams. I had wanted a German Shepherd since I was a little girl. But alas, she didn't care for me - she bonded to my husband like glue! She was an onry puppy. We have many funny memories of her antics - like the time she ate my embroidery needle, the time she ate one of our daughter's diapers, the windowsill that she chewed up, the rubber hot dog toy that she would torment us with until we gave in to play, and the list goes on. She grew into a beautiful dog with lots of tan and white coloring. She was such a serious girl that she seemed to be on guard constantly as if protecting us and our domain was her total lot in life. She excelled in an amateur obedience class and then went on to some protection training which she thoroughly enjoyed. She liked to bark and pace a bit too much, but would she be a genuine German Shepherd if she didn't? Saturday, as you lay on the examining table at the veterinarian's office, we felt that we already knew what the outcome would be, even though the vet was puzzled at the time. Finally, after many tests and your patience, he found you had cancer in your spleen and it had ruptured. You were so stoic we didn't even know you were in pain. How badly I felt for you. You were nearly 12 years old and suffering from degenerative spine disease as well and to put you through an abdominal surgery and chemotherapy would have been more than you could take. We could see it in your eyes. So we said our goodbye's. Thank you for all the nights when I was alone and yet felt so safe with you by my side. You have given us so much, so many memories that will always be with us. You will be greatly missed our noble friend.

Casey My sweet calico, you will be missed. There is empty place in my heart and on the sofa. We hold you close forever, Sonya,Colin,Shelby,and Erin

Casey was the most beautiful Border Collie on the face of this earth. He was brilliant, affectionate, athletic and so sweet. I had grown up with Border Collies and had always loved them, however since I was a kid I wanted a Frisbee dog. Casey was it! We would play for hours every day. He would do anything to please us (my wife & me).

His best friend was our cat; they played constantly. He was also very attatched to our other dog (Toby a Border Collie/Lab).

I had just finished graduate school and my wife and I were expecting our first child. We had bought our first home (with a huge back yard) and were really looking forward to introducing our son to his great "siblings". I had already begun my new job while my wife stayed with our old house getting ready for the move when Casey began getting sick.

What really bothers me most about his death is that I was 120 miles away and felt totally powerless. I wanted to tell him one last time that I loved him. He had come down with a genetic blood disorder that only occurs in Collies and Collie offshoots such as Shelties and Border Collies. It is extremely rare thus our vet had a hard time diagnosing. It is always fatal.

Casey who was very active, craved love and attention and was very sensitive to his surroundings spent four days in the hospital before he passed away (if only we could of had him home surrounded by those who loved him so much)!

Casey passed away on a Sunday afternoon six weeks before our son was born (they would have been best of friends).

Some people may think it's silly or trivial to be so upset about losing a dog but Casey was one of the most wonderful creatures ever, he loved everyone and everything.

He was so special we named our son after him.
Casey Callendar was born March 27, 1996.

Casey was a grey cat with an orange stripe on her face. She was orphaned as a tiny kitten and my mother hand raised her. I adopted her when she was about six weeks old. She was a wonderful cat, and a terrific companion. She did all sorts of tricks, like fetch, give kisses, that sort of thing. About a year ago, she was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, which had settled into her kidneys. She died this year of kidney failure. She was greatly loved, and will be greatly missed. I will remember her forever, and I will miss her forever. Her favorite thing was water. She would always put her cat toys in the water bowl. I had to buy a special weighted water bowl so that she wouldn't tip it over and play in the water. I'm very glad that she was a part of my life.

Casey, my beautiful yellow Lab. We got you when we did because Rio was getting old and we wanted her to be around to help train you. You were a mischievous joy for us to have and we miss you terribly. It's all my fault you didn't get a chance to grow up. If I had stayed home that day, I would have smelled the smoke and got you 3 dogs out in time. Instead you were stuck in your kennel waiting for your death, and my last sight of you is a frozen corpse laying beside Rio and Royal. I miss you guys so much. I'm so sorry I wasn't there to save you, my handsome boy, my prince, and my baby. Forgive me, please, and one day I hope to see you again.

Dear Casey...a rare lemon and white Basset hound with
feet like great sleds and ears down to here...We miss
your joyous howl. Dad has you now, with the rest of the
pack. Always in Memory, my little one. Love, Mom

Casey was a wonderful friend for almost 17 years. He cannot be replaced.

Casey -- simply the best -- the diving dog -- loved by all the Feeney's.

Dear Casey; I miss you so much. I know that now you are in a better place and no longer suffering your illness. I am glad for that. Pepper misses you too. He sometimes sleaps where you used too.Trying to be close to you. Love, Mommie

Dear sweet little casey, we all love you and always will love you.You didn't deserve to die, you were too young. We all miss you very much, but most of all I miss you. I wish I could have said goodbye one last time. I'm sorry that I didn't always pay close attention to you. That is and always will be one of my biggest regrets. We will nver forget you and how you made us laugh, or how you would constantly fight with Shawn. Or how you would run away from the littlest things because you were scared. Shawn also misses you very much. You were his best friend and he is very lonely without you. You were my best friend too, even though it might not have seemed it. When mom and dad took me to get you and we brought you home I was the happiest person alive. Now I'm the saddest. I will never forget you and I hope you are happy and not suffering anymore up in doggie heaven. Goodbye Forever, Aubrey:( Goodbye from the rest of the family: Jen, Steph, Mom, Dad, and Shawn (it's funny because I was about to write Casey) **** I MISS YOU VERY MUCH****

Little black ball of fur

We miss you Casey.

Mommy, Daddy, Eli, Emma, Hobbes, and even JoJo.

In loving memory of our much loved kitty boy. He is sadly missed by his kitty mother and kitty father. also very very much missed by his tabby brother simone.Missed for all the fun times they had together and rough housing they did. Simone loved to take care of cashew-kitty boy and was always by each others side. Lovingly missed by his sister Garfie. He loved to chased her around and tease her. Fondly missed by all of gods creatures on the outside too. But most of all he is so sadly missed by his momma who misses that little bugger following her around everywhere. Cashew dear kitty boy why did you have to leave us so early in your life. We wanted you to grow old with us. Love you kitty boy love you with all my heart. xxxxxxxx000000000000

Large,lovable and gentle, protector of my children and bane of porcupines, rest without pain and run through the woods, your family will miss you.

No more stiffness, no more seizures, rest in peace little Bubby. Your heart was bigger than big. Thanks for being the sweet little guy you were. Thanks for the 2+ years you weren't supposed to have. You showed them all, didn't you. We'll miss you dearly.

A truly wonderful pussycat and family member - she will be sorely missed. She never caused a moment's trouble, except by her passing!

My beloved pet, Cassandra Marie, was a wonderful and loving dog. She was the best cocker spaniel a person could ever want. I am so glad that I was able to give her a good life for 10 years after rescuing her from the pound. I will see you again someday, "eyeball".

Yesterday, Feb. 3, 1999, the smartest, bravest, most loyal dog in the world...mercifully, was put to sleep. Cassie, our beautiful black lab had cancer. And being the brave dog that she was, never complained. We rescued her from an animal 'shelter' in Arizona back in 1987 and from that time on, were blessed by her presence. Cassie took her job as protector very seriously. I always felt safe with her in the house. She was so smart, we never had to house-train her, she just knew what to do. A couple years after she came to us, a neighbors dog, left running loose, got into our yard and mated with her. 2 months later, we had 11 puppies, one of which we kept. We named her Bernie. Cassie was a wonderful Mom!! From then on, she was know as Mama Cass.*S* Animals come into our lives and teach us so much. From her I learned and received, unconditional love. She will be missed so much. Her passing leaves such a hole in our lives, but we know that she is now free from pain and having a ball chasing rabbits and running free in a beautiful place. Cassie's Mom

Cassie was a good friend, good watch dog, and loving and loyal companion.

She walks the night, for her it is always.

My childhood cat never had a name. We tried Samantha but it never stuck somehow, although my Dad kept trying for about 10 years.
