For Mazey:
The tears I feel today,
I'll wait to shed tomorrw,
Though I'll not sleep this night,
Nor find surcease from sorrow,
My eyes must keep their sight:
I dare not be tear blinded,
I must be free to talk,
Not choked with grief, clear minded
My nouth can not betray,
The anguish that I know.
Yes, I'll keep my tears 'till later:
But my grief will never go.

In loving memory, of our sweet kitty cat Jabber. She lived about 14 years. She was the sweetest, most gentle cat, we had. She would always throw herself at your feet, and slide on down! She lived happily, in Charlotte, N.C., with Lance and Andrea. She will always be remembered for her gentle ways!

Jack was a sweet little Jack Russell terrier. The poor guy was tough; he was hit three times before he died, only six years old. We miss you Jack.

Jack you were my Siamese Fogarty. I'll never forget you attacking my friend because you thought he was hurting me. I will love you forever

We will always miss you Jack. Now you are with you're brother, J.J., and 4th generation child. You're mate Skully misses you and I know she loves you. May you watch over you're children and not let them have what you and you're brother had and died of.

We will all miss you jack as weve known you so ling

Our Jack

You took your first breath in our hands.
A very special lady cuddled and stroked you until you took your last.

You were tragically killed by a speeding motorist who failed to stop, but somebody saw what happened. She knew you didn't deserve to be left to suffer so alone and without the love we would've shown you had we had the chance.....God must've sent an angel to look over our baby when we couldn't be there.

You are buried in our garden under a purple coloured 'butterfly tree'. You loved to play under it as a kitten, watching all the butterflies. They will always be around you now.

We miss you so much and have never forgotten your beautiful and gentle soul with the biggest loving and loyal heart we have ever known. You can never be replaced.

Thank you for all the joy and love you brought into our life. You truly were a gift to us.

Love you lots and lots always xxx

We will always miss u jack love mummy, daddy and joanne

Pookie,
The day you came into our lives we were changed forever. You taught us how to love unconditionally. You gave us no choice. You were demanding, loveable, full of sweet mischief. You were the light of our lives and the boss of the house. You are always in our hearts and thoughts. We miss our little boy.

Our beautiful Jade was three months old when she came into our lives. She was from a puppy mill and was very sick when we first got her. She was a brindle Boxer. We loved her more than anything. In February we found out she had a congential heart disease that was making her deathly ill and she had to be put to sleep. Our lives will never be the same. Although we only had her for a few months-she meant the world to us. Her illnes was a result of overbreeding by the UNlicensed kennel owner. Please know your breeder so we can stop the puppy mills!

j was a sis i loved her so much i miss her. She did bite my mom on the hand. But she was still a great dog. She loved to play. She did not like to swim, but she liked to steal toys from the other dogs. She was only around for a short time but we all loved her and miss her everyday. Love, Rylee

I think of you, often. You were the most beautiful sheepdog to me, a very smart one and pure joy to be with. And in the end, you were brave in your pain. I loved you till the end and someday, I will see you again, a healthy and wonderful best friend.

Jake, You big, beautiful dog, I miss you more than words can say. The house is so quiet and empty without you. There is a space in the family room where your kennel used to be, and a hole in my heart. Everywhere there are reminders of you. Christopher and Debbie don't have you to protect them anymore, and Fancy doesn't understand where you've gone. I pray there is a Rainbow Bridge, and that where you are right now you are safe and warm. Now you are free to run and play again, just as you always wanted to do. I am so sorry there was nothing I could do to save you from Wobbler's. I could only free you from the body that held you back. Be well, my friend, and wait for me by the Rainbow Bridge.

This is for the best friend I have ever had. You were so young and will be remembered the way you were. Our hearts will be with you forever and ever. You were loved from all the family and we will miss you dearly. If there is a pet heaven, let Jake run free. Miss you always. Lots of love from the whole family. Goodbye Jake...but not forgotten...xxx

Jake you were such a happy labrador. You were Dan's little brother. Many good times spent together. You looked after our house and garden like a big soldier. You died in my arms like one too. You left this world with a broken heart after Terry passed away one month before you. We know you are together again. Terry will be well enough to walk and play with you now, Jakey. Dan and Mummy miss you both with all our heart. We both look forward to being with you again one day. If you meet up with Sooty and Spike give them a lick for us. And heaps of kisses to Terry. Love from Mummy and Dan.

Jake, you meant the world to us and we will miss you so much. . . you left us much too soon. We are so glad we had one more night with you. We know you are at peace now, without pain and enjoying time with your brother, Bear. We know we will all be together again one day. You will be in our hearts always. With much love, Mommy, Daddy and Merfy

our neighbours found him we got him so it is true best things come free he died of free bleeding we had his eye took out because of glacoma he was throwing up blood so we had him put down

Gone, but NEVER forgotten. Always in our hearts.
We love you Jake and miss you every day. You are the best dog in the world. The end was so difficult, no more pain and no more suffering.

Love Always,
Mommy and Heather

We already had a dog - a BIG dog. We had a German Shepherd that was digging up the yard and chewing up the house. So our trainer said, "She's bored - get another dog" I said, "Great, then we'll have 2 dogs destroying our home!" But, we brought home this tiny little 6 pound Rottweiler and named her Britta. From that day on you stole my heart and became my soulmate. You were my constant companion and always in the middle of the circle of activity. You didn't want to miss a thing! You were my compassionate friend during some very difficult times in my life when all others were occupied with their own lives. Your big, brown eyes were always full of unconditional love. Your short life was plagued by too many health problems - but we fought them together, one day at a time - until the end. Your last siezure revealed some heart problems that were more than you could bear. It was the most difficult decision I had ever made, but in my heart I knew it was what was best for you. To continue your daily struggle to live would only have been selfish on my part. The day I said goodbye still replays vividly in my memory and the void in my heart will only be filled when we meet again. I just want you to know how much I miss you - my loyal and very special friend. You started my crazy love for Rottweilers, but none will ever compare to you, my first, my Britta.

We never got to say goodbye,
no letters we can send,
but in our hearts you'll always be a very special friend

Buster you are missed dearly by all the family,Lucy and Sparky.Sophie's never been the same since you left.I still stand by my promise,the first baby boy I have will be called James.

Jamie (Trethmore Tommy)
West Highland White Terrier
(01.01.1992 – 13.09.2006)

My best friend.

Dearest Jamie, I miss you so much. You gave me everything. I will never be so blessed again. I love you and will never stop loving you. See you soon my baby.
All my love,
David

When my brother brought you to live with us, you were labeled crazy. Later we recognized your talents. You committed suicide a day after your friend's death. I hope you found him. I disapprove of your decision, but I guess you were too young to take the pain. I miss you. I wonder who you were.

Jane, my darling guinea pig. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you died. Poor Molly was frantic by the time I got home. I don't think you suffered at least. Well, Molly is with you now, in guinea pig heaven. Look after her, she was very sick before she died. I love you both. I know you are around sometimes, keeping an eye on me. Thank you. I love you, Jane. In my heart there will always be a memory of you and Molly. Love Susan.

Janiece Rest In Peace

"That Jarrah cat" as the children used to call you.

You used to spread yourself out across the floor in excitement and talk back to me in your very own cat language when i spoke to you. Always around my feet, and full of lots of love.

A little monkey mischief, but very, very pretty. Everyone loved you, kitten chops.

You went missing just before we went on holiday and have never been seen since. We didn't know what had happened to you but we searched for a long time before we began to realise that you had gone forever.

I hope that wherever you may be, you are as happy and as loved as you were with us.

Miss and love you always xxx

To Jasmin, who died October 1998 after a lengthy battle with heart disease. Mommy misses you. Meow meow purr purr.
You were a very special cat and mommy misses you very much.
Rest in peace my angel kitty.

Love,

Mommy

Jasmine, my little hand-me-down beauty, our house seems so empty now; we miss you so.

Jasmine was a very loving dog. I had her ever sence she was a puppy. We had meany fun times together and I love her more than any thing in the whole world. I wish I could have spent more time with her befor she passed . I could confine in her when every thing was going bad. And I gess we just take addvange of that and dont relize how pressish things are untill we loose them.And I would like to thank God for giving me the chance to love A dog like her!

Jasmine thank you for the joy you brought each and every day to our home. We loved you as much as you loved us. I always knew you would come when called, and you were at the top of the stairs waiting patiently to get your rub each day after I came home from work. You listened and didn't go into the kitchen. Remember the pawing on the door jam each morning waiting for the nibble of luncheon meat or cheese. Pulling on Ed's leg hairs with your teeth to get a
rub when he was getting ready for work? Falling asleep in the middle of my back...but first you would give a great massage! You were the best find of my life, a hungry, dirty stray who became our princess! Your missing tail just added more character to you. Sleeping between beds to share you affection with Brianna and with us. How you would "talk" till you got what you wanted. You never left us forget your treats......we dear Jasmine will never forget you our precious kitty. I pray someday I will see you again if animals can be in heaven too.

Jasmine-

I miss you terribly. You were my best friend and one of the only things in my life that I could count on. You always smiled, and always pranced to say hello to me, even though it was hard for you to do. It has been a while since you have passed, but I still wish you were here with me. Thank you for filling my entire childhood with good memories and being there when I needed a friend.

I love you.

Brianna

We will miss you!!!

Possibly the dumbest Brittany spaniel that ever slept over an a/c vent. But he played hard and ate well. We miss you baby. Love, Ted, Mimi and Mom.

Jasper, our sweet kitty, how we miss your deep throaty purr and your playful ways. We thought we'd have you longer than 11 short years, but cancer took you sooner. You were, and are loved dearly. In the words of Leon Bloy: "Man has places in his heart that do not yet exist and into them enters suffering so that they may have existence." We suffer in your loss, yet we rejoice in your life..peace little "Monkey man".

To our old boy. Thank you for sharing your life with us. We love you and miss you terribly. We will always remember you in our thoughts. Life is not the same without you.

My dearest Jasper,

I love you more than you will ever know. I will forever miss that sweet light that shines in your eyes. You would wave that big bushy tail so proudly in the air and announce that you were home with your soft sweet cry. Oh how I will miss your friskiness while playing with your favorite feather, walking through the snow, bunny kicking a toy filled with catnip or the curiosity of watching feet walk across the floor.

I am sorry your last days were ones filled with pain. I hope now you have found some sort of peace in your final rest. I find it hard to let you go. I do realize I must release you so you may complete your journey to go where ever all kitties must go. I hope on your journey you will find Warlock, Basil, Charlie, Wizard, and Mandy. I hope to one day be with you and the rest.

I wish you peace my sweet. Griffin is missing you already so very, very, very much. Nay and Daddy miss you as well. We all wish you a safe journey and peace in your heart. Remember you are loved now and always.

Love Mommy

To my dear and loving friend, Your life was short but you brought us great joy, Your Death has brought me great sadness, But also relief that your pain is no more.You will always be a bright star in the skies of heaven. I love you my dear, you will never be forgotten in my heart!!!

Jasper my thirteen year old working bred Border Collie had to be given sleep on the 27th of February, 2003. He had a stroke it seems and was so tired and the joy of life had gone from his eyes. Yet he still got up and walked to the van with me, he insisted.

He always has been there for me, even at my lowest times. Always prepared to protect me but never unneccessarily aggressive - everyones friend most of the time unless he felt I was being threatened in anyway. He taught me most of what I know about training dogs, even though I have been into that for 30 years now.

We did obedience - got bored with that cos we preferred to play, both of us <g>. He won well in that though and then we moved on to agility when he was 5 which was far more fun! At the age of 7, he went to Working Trials training with me as he had had the k9 equivalent of a nervous breakdown through and unexpected attack from another dog which had resulted in him having a stress related fit. (he was not epileptic, just so scared he couldn't breathe and that panicked him) Through Working Trials training, particularly the man work part, ;o) , he gained confidence back and lost his fear of other dogs being around. So then we went back to agility from his age of 9 until he turned 11 and he started to lose confidence because of his failing eyesight. I tried to retire him off the last course he ran, but he refused to come off and went ahead completing it, albeit slowly. Always tried so hard for me.

He was such a brave dog who I feel would have died for me. He slipped away from me that night because he knew that I was being left in safe hands now - his job was done.

Anyone who has known the love and friendship that can be had between a human and a dog in this way, will understand how I am feeling. For true friendship to cross the divide between two seperate species is a wonderful thing. It is not sentiment that causes this sadness. It is genuine grief, the same grief that is felt by one human for another.

He will always walk with me. :o)

Japser (our soldier)

We found our soldier on the verge of extinction and rescued him from an untimely death. How he repaid us cannot be completely recounted, but the highlights of his stellar career shall be mentioned.

Our soldier was the official greeter, his happy face and wagging tail were always at the door to announce and greet whatever guest may have come.

Our soldier was the protector of the realm. No one would, nor did, dare mess with his protected family.

Our soldier was the denizen of the yard. Nothing on two legs or four legs dare to enter that yard without his permission. The four-legged variety were promptly escorted off the premises; He would come back and look at me as if to say "What were they thinking and wasn't I superb!"

Our soldier was there to supervise all yard work. He would see that all was done and that those who did it were protected.

Our soldier likewise supervised the installation of all Christmas lights. He sometimes watered them to check for shorts in the wiring.

Our soldier is our nap mate but always slept facing the door in case he would be needed for some intrusion.

Our soldier was our companion , our friend and our confidant.

Our soldier always gave so much and asked for little in return, so when he came to me feeble and ailing and asked to be relieved of his duties what else could I have done. I reluctantly agreed understanding how he felt.

I held our soldier's paw as he entered into the twilight but I saw a grateful look in his eyes before they closed and he left this world.

Our soldier now guards the gates or door to some other realm we do not know. While he no longer suffers here, we suffer because we miss him.

We honor our fallen soldier and love him.

Farewell Jasper,

Your Family
