Raven, Letting you go was the hardest thing I have had to do in a long time! I know you were trying to wait until Cooper came along and you just couldn't hold out anymore. You were my first "baby" and you almost made it until I your human brother came along...you always had such good instincts about everything! I only hope that you are free of hurt now and know why I had to choose what I chose. I know you were hurting and now you're not. I think about you all the time and can't wait to love on you again one day! Life just isn't the same without you sweet girl! You were with me for half of my life. I love you and will never forget you sweet girl!!

Rexy, Lovingly known as Good Boy, Shepherd/Akita, May, 1992 to December 2, 2000

Rexy was adopted in May of 1992. He was just a puppy of several weeks at the time. From the moment the four of us laid our eyes on him we knew he would be a part of our family. He loved my kids and wife so much. I thought of him as a child at first then as a dear friend. It's so painful to leave the house or to come home because he was the last or the first person I saw whether coming or going. We had a thing where when I would come home from work he would sit at the side of the house and wait for me to park my car into the garage, the he would come to me to release him from his leash and we would fool around on the lawn.

He was sadly taken away from us on Saturday, December 2 2000 at 11PM. I never had a chance to get him to the vet. He wasn't him self all of a sudden and could hardly walk. As I was attempting to get a hold of any vet in our area he got worse and worse. Then I found a vet that would see him that late at night. As I tried to hoax him to his feet he kept staring at me with a look that said let me lay here. I did. Later on I went up stairs for about ten minute and heard my son calling me to get back down. Rexy moved to a blanket and his breathing slowed down. As I lowered my self to be closer to him he lifted his head and looked at me then exhaled and put his head back down. A few minutes later he turned to look at me again exhaled again and dropped his head for the last time.

I have this feeling that he waited to see me one last time before he left on his journey to the Rainbow Bridge.

Rexy, I know you will wait for me there until it's my time. For now I will cherish the memories of you and all the fun we had. And when I come for you we will once again be together.....for ever....never apart again.

I love you Rexy.

Your best friend Joe

Rollie, Lovingly known as The Rolster, yellow lab, April 13, 1991 to August 28, 2002

We give thanks for domestic animals. Those creatures who can trust us enough to come close. Those creatures who can trust us enough to be true to themselves. They approach us from the wild. They approach us from the inner world. They bring beauty and joy, comfort and peace. For this miracle and for the lesson of this miracle. We give thanks. Amen. To Rollie! You raised some hell and had a good run! We love you and miss you dearly.

Sadly missed by His family and everyone who knew him

Romeo, Lovingly known as MoMo, cat, 3/3/03 to 5/23/07

Romeo was "Mr. Personality". He would sit on his back legs and bat his front legs in the air when he wanted his ears rubbed. He was our Mo Man. We lost him to FIP. Now we worry about the rest of our "clan" of nine. We will miss him forever.

Sadly missed by Amy and Megan

Romeo, Puppy, March 11, 1999 to March 8, 2003

I think that if we could duplicate the qualities that our animals exemplify to us, what a better world we would all live in. Loyalty, unconditional love, understanding and compassion, that is what our Romeo gave to us for the short amount of time he was with us. He was our first "baby". He won me over with those "Romeo" eyes...Hence the name. How we miss him!

My baby, you held on as long as you could and I am forever grateful for my time with you. Fifteen years has gone by too fast. I will always be thinking of you and miss you more than I can say. God please take care of her. I LOVE YOU. I hope you are finally allowed to rest and not hurt anymore. Dad misses you very much. Till we meet again.
