Dear Pete, aka Oodie, Oodles, Petey, Petey Pie, Fat Poodle, and always My Boy Pete. You came to us because your Momma Joyce rescued you from a breeder. You had decided that you had first rights to the food bowl, a much bigger dog with a different point of view had chomped you on the head, which ruined your left eye, rendered you useless to the breeder, and destined you to become a much loved part of our family. You never lost your fighting spirit. You let it be known that wherever you went, You were Top Dog. You loved to play, and be right in the middle of things right up to the moment of your death. You were a strong swimmer, and you never met another animal, be it rabbit, squirrel, deer, goose, duck, or cow that you didn't love to chase. I never saw you catch any of them, and I don't believe you ever killed anything in your life. You were loyal, and loving. You stayed by your Momma Joyce's side (or in her lap) through all of the years of her illness, and when she died, you licked the tears from my face, and gave me so much love and comfort in my grief. For 12 years you were a constant companion, traveling partner, listener,bringer of smiles and unconditional love. I was always proud to claim "Thats my boy Pete" My heart hurts as I write this, but I know that you're with your Momma Joyce, both of you happy to be together again. Someday we'll all meet again at the Rainbow Bridge, You touched many, many hearts Pete. I will always miss you, as will Chris, and Sarah, and so many more. You go on Petey, chase that deer down the trail to the lake, and go for a swim. I'll catch up.
With so much Love,
Your human.
Bob

A beautiful blue betta fish and my first encounter with something other than cats or dogs. I tried to provide a good life for you. You added beauty to ours. Swim in peace little fishie boy. With love from Mom, Dad and the other critters at home.

mom misses you. love mom

Peanut, aka Peanutterbutter,. I picked you up in front of school one day. You curled up into my lap, and settled into my heart. You played so well with the three Dachshunds! As you matured you became more aggressive. What changed, that you would attack Ruby, whose sole purpose in life was keeping your ears clean? 'Twas an awful decision to make, speeding your path to the Rainbow Bridge. Be well, and play hard until I see you again. The little ones and I will always miss you.

It's so sad. You died in the night. We didn't think colds were deadly to you. R.I.P little girl. I hope you're fed well.

A loving and affectionate cat - Peanut was my little buddy. I think of you everyday Peanut! See you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Peanut, I love you, and miss you. You were the world to me. I hope that you are happy where you are.

You were such a special dog. Your mommy and I loved you more than anything in this world. We will miss you so much. Right now your mommy and I cannot stop grieving, but we try to think about the day when we will all be reunited again in heaven. You were so unique with you warm and caring personality and your playful antics. You truely were a child to us. We Love You Puppy!!!

Peanut was my first hamster, and my first "real" pet. He was a golden teddy bear hamster with a small black spot in the middle of his head. I got him in second grade, when our class hamsters had babies. Even though he died awhile ago, I still miss him very much.

You were always so loving and affectionate, my little tubby baby. I'll miss you snuggling up in my arms and eating all the chocolates. You can play with Humbug again now, we miss you both. Loads of love from Mummy, Fudge, Pippin, Buffy and Faith.

My beautiful little baby who liked nothing more than to snuggle up for a cuddle with Mummy. Now you can play with Humbug again and eat all the choccie treats you want. Fudge , Pippin, Buffy and Faith all miss you as much as I do. Say hello to Hummy and Socks for us all.

I love you very much Peanut. Your our angel now Bubba. I hope you know how much we love you. You were the sweetest Wuppy in the whole world, not a bad bone in you. Life wont be the same without your kisses in it. My little boy. Your Mommy misses you very much. XOXO My wuppy.

My favorite teddy bear hampster died of old age. I will not forget you Peanut Butter. I love you!

To the best little dog in the whole wide world. You brought us more happiness and relaxation to our lives than you know. We still miss you every day. Love mom, dad, Scott and Mark

Peanut was the sweetest dog I ever had. With a lion's mane, the softest brown eyes, and wettest, coldest black button nose. I miss you still.

You were a very special loving beautiful animal. You never had a bad bone in your body. I miss your pretty little face. Mommy has now joined you in heavan. You basket lives with us and my new cat family, I watched you come into this earth and watched you suffer at the end of your life. 15 years was not enough for me. I will always remember how I taught you to eat with your paws. I cannot believe that it has been 5 years that you have left this earth. I know that you were happy while you were here. We miss you very much. Love Audrey, Daddy, Steven and of course your mommy who is with you now Elaine.

My beautiful German Shepard, Pearl. No other could be more loving or loyal. The finest friends are sent to us by God. Our time together was a gift.

Pearle was a cockateil that had a heart big enough for the world, minus only one thing, the vet. I loved her then and love her today. I lost her to something I didn't even know existed. By luck she was the only one to die, and I didn't have to face my best friend and tel them that thir bird that I was boarding didn't die as well. Pearl opened my eyes to a world I had never seen. She was the first friend I had when I moved. The only friend who stayed with me. She would greet me when no else would, and she always wanted to be close. I miss her today and forever will. This is for you, Pearle. Rest in Peace, My Baby. Pearle is still a Pretty Girl.

Pebbles was our son (cat). He had one brother Joker (dog) and one sister Queenie (dog). We took him to the vet to be fixed and he died under the antisetic. We miss his meows and his affection. Your mom and dad love and miss you!!!

Pebblina( that was my nickname for her) was the best little dog in the entire world. She was a white toy poodle ! I got her when i was 2 and a half and she was my side kick til i was 17! I did everything with her! I made close for her and everything! She was my best friend. She got really old and one day just passed on in her sleep! I will never for get her! I still lover her very much :) I will miss her forever.

Pebbles was one of the greatest friends anyone could want. She died at 12 and was a fine and beautiful Golden Retreiver. We spent every moment we could together and I cherished her as much as any human could. I miss her deeply and feel intensely sad at the loss of her friendship. What made Pebbles so special was that she could communicate with me at a very primal level. I felt certain when I was with her that she had a basic idea of what I was feeling and thinking much of the time. She learned skills rapidly and with ease, as if she knew immediately what I wanted her to do. She enriched and the lives of many people and she can never be replaced. May G-d or her higher power grant her the peace and serenity she deserves.

When we found her at the Anti-Cruelty Society, she was a mess. After she was cleaned up, she knew she was beautiful and adored as such. Pebbles was only a part of our lives for a short time, but she was a member of our family. I beleive she knew she was loved, very much so. She will be sorely missed. She lit up the room when she entered and commanded attention and love from all who would give it. She loved to make you laugh by running around the house like a "wild woman" and chasing her tail, especially after getting a bath. She really loved when we would take her to the forest preserve and let her run free. If she saw someone while walking her, anyone, she would run up to them to play with them. She was a beautiful dog.

This picture was taken a few days after she was adopted and before her first grooming. She was still cute.

We will miss you Pebbles and we love you.

The Ketter Family

Pee Wee was our beloved Mini Dachshund. He had a disk disease and was paralyzed within a day of his first symptoms. We had five short but wonderful years with him. He would look at you with those big brown eyes with such love and loyalty. We truly miss him and feel a void in our lives. We will never forget him.

Pee-Wee, you are my little lover. You protected me, made me laugh and was my constant companion. I'm sorry you suffered and I'm sorry I wasn't there at the end. I'll see you again soon.

Peewee the Pooh was a cute little sea-monkey. It was the biggest one in the tank. We are sad. Nicki, James, John, Vivian and Cindy.

Peggy was a rescue guinea pig, birth date unknown (it wasn't 1960! But this form insists on a birth year.). She appeared to be a mixture of Abysinnian and Peruvian, creating upward sweeps and cowlicks of hair that gave her a very dashing air. She had attitude, too! No one, but no one, was going to steal a carrot from her! Alas, an infection that would not clear up took her away - vets learn more about piggies every day, but it is still not enough to make them immortal. Little guinea pigs leave a hole in our lives much larger than their little bodies alone. Carrots and parsley to carry you to infinity, Peggy.

About ten years ago, during one of the most frigid winters ever, she found us-she had apparently been abandoned; a Christmas gift not well received, and soon to be gone... forever, until she stumbled upon our house one day, it was early January or February, I believe, when we had our first encounter with her. Each time we would leave the house there she would be, her cold, pathetic, eyes longing for a home, it was obvious she had been abandoned, as many 'throw away' Christmas pets often are. From the first time we had seen her, we knew we had a connection to her. Even though we did not consider ourselves 'cat people'we eventually took her in as part of our family. Although she has recently departed this world,she is still with us, in our hearts and in our memories. We know you are watching over us, and look forward to seeing you again someday.

My pellet was a black hooded rattie with a furrie tail. She died on Christmas eve do to cancer. I felt really bad putting her to sleep but it was for the better. do not feel guilty for doing what is right. your little rattie is in a better place now.

A peom For Pelusa

He came into our lives almost twelve years ago,
just how much we would love him; little did we know.
The last of the litter, his fate all but sealed,
until the day kindness saved him, a new fate revealed

A sweet little kitten, oh so thin and full of fleas,
a trip to the doctor, and a bath if you please.
His little striped body, his eyes big and yellow,
who could ever resist that sweet little fellow.

In just a short time we were both to be smitten,
for he had become such a beautiful kitten.
With his tail in the air he'd race through the house,
how he loved to show off, by retrieving his mouse.

Always happy to see us at the end of each day,
he would purr on forever and invite us to play.
He'd hide round the corner and bite at our heels,
then run away after hearing all our squeals.

He would climb to roof and bath in the sun,
and then in the evening, strait home he would run.
He had it all figured, he was smart we could tell,
he would meow at the neighborÂ’s and they'd come ring the bell.

A hole in his ear and a crook in his tail,
in our eyes he was purrfect, in every detail.
When he grew older so gentle and sweet,
he would jump on the sofa and curl at our feet.

He walked with a swagger and held his tail high,
he loved the attention from guests that stopped by.
He was our first cat and we cherished him dear,
how he loved us to tickle him behind his ear.

So we will not we can not believe that he's dead,
we choose to believe that he's sleeping instead.
His name was Pelusa, we named him that,
We will never forget him, Our beautiful cat.

Pen loved children. He was very kind and patient. He liked cheese and pizza! He is missed by his family, his kids and all of the kids at school. Pen's favorite time of the day was when it was time to "Pick up the Kids" - Every day he knew when it was time to go. He loved to go to Grandpa's house and run around in the yard. He barked a lot! He is missed by his good pal Punky (the cat).
He is happy now in heaven with Cheetah and Rainy Fluffy Spotty Boyle. If there are any kids up there, he will take care of them.
We miss you Pen!

Penelope was a dwarf hamster who lived a long and happy life. Thanks for all your sweet little antics. We miss you. Love, Mom and Dad

My darling Penni was one of God's best examples of unconditional love. She was a feisty, counter surfing, grinning, vocal, sassy liver spotted Dalmatian who captured my heart. We went through some rough times together. She was always my constant companion. Her life was filled with illness and pain but we never gave up on her. She taught my son what it meant to respect and love dogs in such a gentle way. She looked into my eyes and knew my soul. She wasn't just a dog. She was never just a dog. Even at the end she still had so much life in her. She just couldn't live any longer. The pain was too much. Her legs gave out. I will never forgive myself for having to help her over the bridge. Please forgive me my beloved friend. I know God had a special place waiting for you. I still weep. I hold your picture close. I will never forget how you completed my life for so long. Our home is empty without you. I'm glad you are not longer in pain. Thank you for the 13+ years you blessed my life.

This was my best friend. When we first met she saved my life. She was ill from the start and it was a long 4 years of treatments and professionals. However, I loved her as though she were a person and there is nothing I would not have done, or given, for her.

"Penelope"....my sweet kitty. I miss you sweetheart. It's almost two weeks now. The house doesn't seem right without you. It was Christmas today and all I could think about was hope much you loved all the ribbons, paper and bows. Jezebell misses you...I can tell. She goes looking for you. I keep forgetting when I go to feed her and still put food on both sides of your dish. Well your with Mom and Daddy now Penelope....stay bye them close. I hope you didn't suffer that night sweetie. Having you die in my arms was hard. I hope I made it easier for you. You always were such a baby. I had to have you cremated baby... I want you back home with us. I just couldn't put you in the ground outside. You were a house cat....you need to be home. Josh and I love and miss you sweetheart....your sister Jezebell does also. Merry Christmas Penelope...

Penny was the most loving , and sweet dog I had ever met. She was my grandparents dog , and I looked foward to seeing her every time I came for a visit. She came to my grandparents house on her own , limping because of a damaged hip. you could tell she was an old dog , her beatiful face was marked with sploches of white. Only , unlike most stray dogs , she stayed. She was part Cocker Spaniel , and because of her copper color , they named her Penny. The day she died I was visiting some relatives , and my mother told me when I returned home. I rushed downstairs and cried and cried. My grandpa had been unsure of her surviving through the winter , she was so old and shaky nowadays. She had been sleeping behind the wheel of his truck , and he backed over her. My grandmother said he came in and cried...he hardly ever cries. I know it wasn't his falt , and I know he loved her...I'm know that she knew he loved her too. We only had her for a short four years...but she has made an impact on our world that will never be forgotten. Love , Caitlin

Penny was my mom's dog that my dad got her a birthday present.He had gotten her at the pound and she was so ugly she was cute. We had to have her put to sleep at the same time as my cat, Kikki. I'll never forget their little faces as they fell asleep, never to wake up again.I love you Penny, I'm glad your in heaven with mommy. I'll miss ya'll always.

This is for a truly good hearted dog. We took her in and never expected to get so attached. We will be missing her for a very long time and can never replace her. We love you, Penny. Always.

Penny you were the best dog a person could of ever asked for. During problems with my pregnancy, although you were hurting and tired, you stayed with me until the baby was born. You mothered me and loved me and my child. In the end you deteriated fast and I did the best I could for the best friend I have ever had in my life. In the end I decided to end your misery. It was the hardest day of my life. A day I shall never forget. If dogs go to heaven I am sure you will greet me when I pass over. I cannot wait to see your happy dog smile again. WIth my love forever and always.

K

Penny - you were our furry pumpkin. I wish you peace wherever you are.

You were a rescued cat, we found you at our University hall of residence with your two sisters (Holly and Ivy) and you were the last one of the three sisters to pass away. We were told that all the feral cats were going to be poisoned the next day, so when we found you all hiding under a hedge near the tennis courts we just took you home. You were tiny balls of fluff, hissing and spitting - but after a while you were all such friendly girls and nobody would know you were feral at all. Goodbye little one.

I have no idea when my dog was born or the exact day he died. I am only a kid thats why. All I know is that he was 15 years old and a pomeranean. Let him always rest in peace.

You came into our lives in March of 1998. I remember my trip to the Animal Rescue League like it was yesterday. I saw you lying in the cage and said, “What a pretty face. Too bad you are such a big doggie.” Then you came forward in the cage and I realized you weren’t lying down after all. What a thrill went thru me when I saw that even though you looked like a huge black lab that one of your parents had been a Bassett. You were the perfect result of that union…55 pounds of love on 6-inch legs. Looking at your card on the cage door it said you were already 3 years old and that your first human family could no longer take care of you. I knew then and there that we were meant for each other.

I brought you home and waited for Mama to come home from work. You heard her drive up and met her at the door with your new squeaky toy. She looked down and said, “Well hello, and who are you?" Your reply was to just sit there and stare deeply into her eyes as if to say, “I’m yours, forever I hope, if you want me to be.”

That was just over10 years ago. 10 years of walks, runs, brushings and belly rubs. 10 years of keeping all the nasty kitty cats out of the yard and away from the bunnies and birds who come here for food all year round. 10 of the best years of your human companion’s lives.

The past year has not been kind to you. The stiffness, the loss of coordination, the failing eyesight all made for a rough time. You always soldiered through it though. No matter how long it took you would grab you squeaky toy and bring it to Mama when she came in the door. When Nikki and TR came over you managed to get turned over for a good belly rubbing. And you always were waiting for the leash to appear so you could go around the block and check out the neighborhood. Sadly, this year, the walks around the block became a walk up the street and back and finally just to the end of the block and back. Made no difference to you, a walk was a walk and you loved every minute of it.

Yesterday the time came to say goodbye. The sparkle was still in your eyes, but time had taken its toll. When we got to the vet’s office you still managed to give everybody kisses and got those much-needed belly rubs. You were surrounded by those who had known you, cared for you and loved you throughout your time with us. As you laid your head down that one last time, you looked at us as if to say, “I may be going away for now, but I will be waiting for you.”

Rest in peace,

Mama and Daddy Jacobsen

It's been many years now since you left this earth. But, you are still here with me in my heart and in my dreams. Thank you for your love my little pup. From Kim.

Penny was 15 years old when she passed away. That morning before I left for work I kissed my dog and told her I loved her. Not knowing that would be the last time I would see her. My Mom told me that night that Penny had passed away in her sleep, laying in her doggie bed. My parents left her in her bed, wrapped her up in her blanket and buried her out by the barn where she used to run and play. I miss her terribly but, I know that she is now in a better place where she is pain free. She is still very much loved and will be forever missed!

Penny Sue was a mixed breed(terrier & Chi). We got her from some people that their kids had hurt her and broke her tail. We didn't know that at the time ,but soon found out. She didn't like little boys. We had 2 of them . We finally came to the idea thats what had happened. She came around to our boys but we still had to watch her around the other boys that came to our home. She finally came to trust them also. She never weighted more than 4 lbs. soaking wet. But she could keep up with our other dogs just fine. We loved her so much and she was our youngest boy's best friend. She was with us for 12 years. She finally died of old age. We will always love her for the wonderful part of our family that she was. Penny Sue,we know you are in good hands in pet heaven. Love you always.

She had a funny face and she was a great first dog. She was put to sleep so that she would not suffer through any more seizures. We will always love her.

Pepe was a good dog. He could run faster and jump higher than any dog in the whole neighborhood. He is with his friends Ralph, Salty, and Terry. He has been missed for so many years. Many dogs have come and gone since him, but Pepe was the grand champion. God should have let him live or just stop trying, because if he was not perfection nothing is.

Pepe was a "cat with attitude". I love you and I miss you. We went through so many things together--job changes, moving, his dying. You were always there. I know that you guys have each other now, and neither one of you will be alone.

Darling Pepe' you were the sweetest little pig I ever had. You munched on parsley, and chowed on Basil and you never met a banana you didn't like. Your friend Peanut misses you very much and believe or not even Vinnie the cat meows that he misses you too. You put up a great fight against infection after infection and in the end your little brave heart just gave out. I imagine you are running around in fields of dandelion and basil. Eat your heart out sweetheart! Love, Lauren

He was a good dog and will be sorely missed forever. Pepi was a poodle who lived to be 20 years old.

Our beloved cat, Pepper, died tragically at the tender age of 1-1/2. She was our first "child", and her death has hit us quite hard. She was hit by a car when out on her nightly "patrol" of our apartment complex. If it weren't for a neighbor child telling us, we would have never known what had happened to her. It's upsetting to know that no one cared enough to contact us and let us know about her death. Someone just tossed her in the dumpster like a peice of meat. How cruel! We are now down to one cat. A cat we will now guard with our very lives and will NEVER let out of the house. Pepper, you were the light of our lives, we will always love you, and miss you!

A brave little soldier who was Casey and Ashleigh's best and most loyal little friend....and a lovable companion for Fiona.

Pepper you were my companion you were my pal You will always be there for me even though you are gone. To a great Maltese Terrier whose personality always came through

I only knew him for a short time, but I'll always remember Pepper as the sweetest ferret of all. I love you forever baby. -Mommy

Dear Pepper, It's hard to believe that writing this over 3 years after your departure still brings tears so easily into my eyes. I treasure the lifetime we spent together. For a "dumb ol mutt" my sister and I had to virtually beg to adopt before that mean neighbor put you to sleep, you sure made it the most of it. I still remember the look on Mom's face 4 days after we "signed" the contracts swearing we would always be the ones to feed and clean up after you, when you delivered your first of 10 puppies out in the snow on our patio. From 0-11 dogs in 5 days. Little did any of us know that we would take a 20 year journey together. We made it thru school, college and I only wish my new son could benefit from your loyal and unforgettable companionship. We shall never forget you and everytime Jared and I go to his Granma's and play in "your" yard, I will be sure to remember to point out your little corner and bore him to death with stories about my wonder dog. Rest well, my friend.
Russ Moffett

Pepper is sorely missed. He was a member of my family for 13 beautiful years and can never be replaced. You may have been a mutt, my dear friend, but a purebreed could not have ever compared to you. We have so many wonderful memories of you that we cherish and hold dear. You were quite a pet, Pepper. We miss you old boy!

Pepper was the best dog in the world, he was also my best friend. I love him with all of my heart and hope I see him again when my time comes. Thank you God for letting me take care of him the first 10 years.....He is in Your hands now. Give him a hug and a scratch for me.

I hold you close to my heart.

Oh, dear Pepper, I miss your eager footsteps running to greet me when I come home. You were the kindest, gentlest dog I knew. Now you are in Heaven with our brother Tommy. I hope you two are able to play together.

You left us only a few hours ago. I can't believe you are gone. We will all miss you so much and will never forget your fuzzy face and pink nose. I hope you are feeling better now and not suffering anymore up there in heaven. I know Amber, Misty, Sandy, Sheba and all the others will take great care of you and will keep you company until we meet again someday. We love you very much and will never forget you! Love mummy, daddy, Jasper, Mittens, Winnie & Tigger

Pepper, the hamster. You cheered me up when I needed it; and you always seemed happy to live with me. I will miss you, but I take comfort in knowing you can run on God's giant hamster wheel for all eternity.

Peppy was a cute,smart,cudily and all around great Guinea Pig she was my best friend and still is peppy was 3 years 6 months old when she died she lived a great life and I took care of her very well Peppy was and is the Greatest Guinea Pig on this planet I loved so much and still do Fare Well Peppy We love you

I love you!!! ALWAYS!!you're an angel! You were wuild, sweet and innocent - I wish we could be like you Be strong up there

Peppy was the hyper rat. The one who allways wanted to do stuff. He acted kind of like me. BYE PEPPY

We loved you! You were with us for so many years. Rest in peace and have fun in doggie heaven. -Kaitlyn (the one who liked to play fetch with you!)

my little yorkie peppy went to the rainbow bridge on jan.20.oh the pain seems unbearable.can not forget how he just sat and stared at me.was he trying to let me know this was going to be goodbye?i pray as time passes the pain will slowly go away.will never forget you my little peppy.always miss you and love you.sleep my darling little boy.granny will see you at the rainbow bridge.

Even though I am not deeply religious I feel that putting a small reminder of our dog Pepsi "The Rottie" that brought so much love to us on this site will help keep alive the beautiful memories that we have of her short rescued 6 years we shared together before a gracefull end to her life.

Now you share a special part of our garden where I often come and think of you along with Caz "The Puppy Rottie" a new addition to our lives who could never replace your unique character but gives us the chance to bring maybe a small peice of happiness to her life as you did for us.

May you always stay in our dreams.
Travis & Julie

To my darling, beloved special little girl - i miss you very much, you were my best friend. Things aren't the same without your shennanigans! Thinking of you, Sarah xxx

Sephie, a lovely calico creature who shared her feline sweetness with ease and grace. You are missed.

You were here so briefly, but brought such joy to my heart. I will always remember the grand time you had at the lake before you passed on. I'll also remember your big, brown eyes. I hope you are running in the fields of heaven.

Pete,
You were an very good friend. Because of you, I can say that I was able to recover from the physical and emotional disability of four heart attacks. Your companship was always comforting and was so very much appreciated. I was always proud of your temperment and your good looks, a picture perfect lab. I shall remember you with love and affection for the remainder of my life. Thanks for the special memories.

In Loving memory of a beautiful soul!

To Pete , the best Parakeet that ever lived. I never knew how much you meant to me. You had a long life for a Parakeet , but it was a rerrible thing loosing you. Your friend for eternity . CJ

I still miss you even though you have been gone 5 long years. You died the day Manchester United came home after winning the treble.
Missing you loads

I can't tell you how sad I am today. Yesterday I had to put one of my little babies to sleep. He was on his way out, so the decision was just about out of my hands. How I have cared for him for the last two years, especially the last six months. I have been up with him in the middle of the night, just to hold him, feed him, and give him water. Petie was my little old man. He was about 17 I think. I got him in 1986. He was almost dead then, and someone had put a collar on him that was growing into his neck - he just about choked back then. He then became very sick and I nursed him back to life. But I kept trying to get rid of him because he was very aggressive with the other cats - macho man stuff. He had adopted me though, and no matter what I did, he came back and even broke into my house several times, pushing open windows to get in. He was madly in love with one of my kitties, Kiszie (who passed two years ago) - they were like a married couple, and although they were both "fixed" they had a very regular and happy kitty "sex" life. I have never seen two cats more in love - very strange in the cat world.

Petie, was a large orange striped tom cat. He had a notched ear and a swagger when he walked. But he could be very timid and tender. He loved to wake everyone up at dawn - he was a little rooster! He was always so happy to see the light in the morning!! I would feed him, and then he would promptly go back to sleep after "mom" gave him huggies. He was a total love. He sang all day long - he was known as the Yodeler!

For the last couple of months he became very elderly and sometimes confused. He would talk to chairs and get lost in the house, cry for me, and then be so happy when he saw me or Ron. It was sometimes like "On Golden Pond" here. He tried to faithfully use his box - until he lost his ability to walk well (part of the kidney disease). I admire him for that. He love his brother Alfred and sister, Ellie. My two kitties who survive him. He also got used to the Dogs - Ghostie and Morgie. They often gave him a lick or two and were always very gentle with him.

He was very ill at the very end. Friday, April 12, 2002, he was refusing water and food, so I knew. We already had an appointment with the doc at 3. We drove him there and he rested in my arms and in his carrier, too. He was so weak and tired. His kidneys were giving out basically - so that decision was made - We were all with him to the end. Our wonderful vet, Richard, a tech, and the nurse Sandy came in and hugged me and held me. I tried not to cry, because Petie was always upset when I cried and would come running to me and do whatever he could to cheer me up. He was very sensitive and loving. I petted Pete's head and stroked his body. He went very fast. Then Ron and I stayed with him and I continued to hold him and kiss him until I felt he was really gone - I think it will take me sometime to recover.

Pete it was an honor to be your human “mom.” I can’t wait to see you again in heaven! I know you are with Kiszie again. Thank you for choosing me. You Dad and I love you!

My beloved Petey, you left this world as we know.
You won't feel sick anymore.
You have been the best dog ever.
I will carry you in my heart forever,
and we will meet again some fine day
at the Rainbow bridge. I love you! Your human mom

Petie was found in a dumpster and I started caring for him the second day of his life. It was a lot of work, but he was a surviver and so tiny, he looked like a little baby bird that fell out of its nest. But to everybody's susprise he grew into a beautiful flame-point Siamise. Petie was very loveable and wanted to be near me all the time, since I was the only mother he ever knew. Petie loved being picked up and getting kisses on his head,he liked giving them back too!. Although I only had him for a short while, he is deeply missed and loved. I am happy for the little time I did get with him.

You were a great little pet. I miss you so much! Rest in Peace, baby!

Petit Gris was a pet with the softness of a cat and the attitude of a dog.

Last Thursday, We lost a very important part of our lives..Our little Terrier Pup Petey Boy had a heart attack and died in my daughter arms at age 14..Pete was a spunkey little guys who didn't know how little he was,,,He had a lazy ear and everyone loved Petey.
