In Memory

T.I was a Labrador/Pit Bull mix.He belonged to my friends who lived next door. He loved everyone. The only thing he did not like or rather hated was cats and baths.

He acted more of a lovable Lab than a mean Pit Bull.His owners raised him to be a mean dog but he did not have it in him.He was actually taken down once by there female pit, Roxy, who had gotten loose one day while they were gone. I had to pull her off him. I got her back in her kennel and checked T.I. He was fine. A little traumatized,but fine.
This happened 1 year before he died.

He died in January 2009.I do not know the exact date he died.
His death was and still is a mystery.We don't know if he was attacked by a roaming dog(everyone in my neighborhood lets there mean dogs roam the the place)or died from a mysterious disease or was maybe poisoned.His owners had two dogs and 2 puppies poisoned in their yard in daylight while they were gone.

T.I was thought to of died because of freezing to death, although his body was still warm when we found his lifeless body in his doghouse.
We have settled on poison. I am still heartbroken."T-bone"(as what I called him) was a good dog and I loved him like he was my own.
You were a good dog T.I.
Your owners still cry over your loss.
I love you with all my heart.
your best friend,
Ressa

Cody left us today, at the old age of 14. I got Cody when I was 25 years old. He was just 6 weeks and was a handful from the start. Getting parvo at a few months - he licked it. He was such a fierce watch dog and loyal friend. Cody's health has been slowly fading, and though he was deaf, he would wag his tail when he saw you talking to him. He had the greatest curled tail. I miss you my friend.. it's been less than 12 hours.. I love you.

K-9 Saddie was truly the love of my life. She was my partner in every way, trained in tracking (search & rescue) as well as bomb detection she died in November 2005 from lymphoma. One time when we were flying home from seeing my Mom in Texas there was an unruly group of students on the plane and the flight attendant kindly asked us to help quiet them down. Needless to say after Saddie said a few words showing her teeth there were no further problems. I don't think I'll ever be the same without her. After a police escort through a local park she trained at, she was buried at a friends house next to his police dog.

SCOOTER WAS MY BEST FRIEND. HE WAS
ALWAYS THERE FOR ME, A LOVABLE
WESTIE. HE WAS WITH US FOR 16
WONDERFUL YEARS AND WAS LOVED BY
EVERYONE WHO MET HIM.
IN MY HEART I BELIEVE HE WILL BE
IN HEAVEN WITH ME SOMEDAY.

My dog Katy was a Jack Russell terrier. She originally belonged to my husband. I came home one day and her leg had been shattered by our neighbors pit bull. Even though she was in so much pain, she managed to lift her head and wag her tail. My heart melted at that moment. She had such complete faith in me that I would take care of her. So, from that day on she was my dog. Little did I know that one day she would return the favor. My oldest son was poisoned by his wife. We never knew what kind of poison she gave him. He started out with double vision, progressed to having to use a walker and then didn't know who his dad and I were. He had a trach, feeding tube and had to be put into the nursing home. Mike suffered for a year and a half before he died. I stayed with him in the day and his dad at night. I was so exhausted mentally and physically that at times I did not know if I could go on. But, I would go home and my dog Katy would be waiting with those beautiful brown eyes so happy to see me. She would get into my lap and look at me as though she knew what pain I was going through. Always a kiss or several would follow and somehow I would feel like I could go on another day. Katy was diagnosed with heart worms just before my son died. The vet said at her age she couldn't be given anything to kill them but just treat the new ones. So, that's what we did. As long as she had a good quality of life we wanted her to live. When my son died, she was always right by my side as though she knew my pain and wanted to help. And she did help me a lot just by being there. Katy had to be put to sleep seven months after my son died. To this day I miss her so much that it hurts. I know that there has to be a doggie heaven because a dog as sweet as Katy deserves the most special place to run and play free of any pain or illness. I love you Katy, and I will always miss you. Love your mom.

After reading the many loving stories about other people and their pets, I decided to submit my own. Our beloved Samantha has been gone for almost 4 years now. She passed on 9/1/2006. She was 16 years old. She suffered a seizure and we had to put her down because the vet suggested it would be the best thing for her since she was in so much pain. It was a hard decision but we knew it was best for her. The vet allowed us to stay with her until she went to that final resting place. We all believe she is heaven waiting for us. Samantha, our beloved baby, we all love and miss you and can't wait to meet you at the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Please remember my cat Patches like her family remembers her. She was a beautiful kitty who brought her family much joy and happiness. We will forever miss and love her. Till we meet again play and have fun Patches. I love you forever.

We got Shadow from my mother in laws house. He was born to a feral cat. The first time i saw him was love at first sight. He was smaller than the rest of the litter. He was such a cute kitten. I would love the way he would stare into your eyes even if you were holding him and talking to him never looking away. On June 18, 2011 Shadow stopped eating. He also didn't eat that Sunday June 19, 2011. We tried to get him to eat but he would turn his head away. The next day my husband took Shadow to the vet. His body temperature was 97 and it was supposed to be 101. He was given something to get his temperature up. He also had a slow heart rate. He also was given fluids because he was dehydrated. An hour after my husband had dropped him off there was a call from the vet telling him that Shadow had passed away. He was only 7 weeks old. I had become very attached to Shadow even though he was with us a short time. We found out from the vet he had distemper. Shadow had gotten his shots 1 day after getting him. The vet couldn't notice anything wrong with him. The pain and grief i feel is hard at times and in my stomach has affected my appetite and sleep even though i take a sleeping aid. I will sadly miss him and i love him.

Sweet Emme,
You belonged to my Uncle's friend.I met you when you were 3 months old. I loved it when your owner would bring you over to my grandparents' house to play in their big fenced in "field". You were so young when you had to be let go. Only 9 months old. My family and I went on vacation to Tennessee when you got hit by a car. You had a habit of climbing over your out door kennel to go swim in the pond across the road. When you were coming back to your home, you got hit by the car. My uncle and your owner took you to the vet to have them ex-ray you and see if you could have a surgery to correct your hips. There was a surgery,but no guarantee that it would help. The vet said you would a have great deal of pain and problems in your hips once in your 6th year of life. Your owner did not want to put you through that, so he decided to let you go to Rainbow Bridge.
You died August 19,2009. I was not here to see you go and say my
good- byes. I miss you, dear Emme girl, and I will never forget you.

Joan was a Humane Society Special at six weeks old, and Special she was. We inherited her from our nephews who were too young at the time to give the pup the very necessary attention a pup requires. She grew up to be the best girl ever. She loved to play and the tail was non-stop as well as her wiggle butt. We had Joan for eight years when she was diagnosed with cancer. The medication she took, gave us nine months more than we ever thought we'd get. We lost her on December 19, 2006. She just couldn't hold out for Santa this year.
We'll miss you forever Baby Girl.
