"Just A Dog"

She is my other eyes that can see above the clouds;
my other ears that hear above the winds;
She is the part of me that can reach out into the sea.
When I am wrong, she is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, she clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, she is joy unbounded.
When I am a fool, she ignores it.
When I succeed, she brags.
Without her, I am only another man.
With her, I am all-powerful.

Our "Lotto Dog" & Mommy's Best Boy

"Bernie"

April 13, 2003 - September 30, 2010

"Hi guys, it's me, Bernie, your best boy
I'm writing to you from doggie heaven
It sure is nice up here
Nothing hurts me anymore
And they have donuts and gum too!!
Everything's perfect, except I don't have you.

Every day I play with Grandmom Lillian
She rubs my belly, just like Dad did
And I sing with her, just like my Mom.

Mom, do you know how much I love you?
I sure know how much you loved me!!
You were the best Mom ever made
You loved me and cared for me
Thanks for everything you did for me at the end
Don't blame yourself, you couldn't have done any more
It was just my time to leave
Take care of Dad, he is so lost now
I miss you so much Mom
I will never forget you
I love you Mom!

Rosie, I will still look out for you
You were my best pal, and I miss you
You can have all of my treats now
I can't wait until you join me up here
I will save you a place at the food bowl
And we will sing together all day.

Dad, I don't need to tell you how I feel, you know
I know how much you loved me, you showed me every day
That itch on your head when you sleep
That's me cuddling on your head
That warm feeling in your lap
That's me sitting in my favorite spot
That smile in your heart
That's me licking your face in the morning
Saying, it's me Dad, your Bernie boy
I love you, and I miss you so much
I love you, Dad.

Well I have to go now
I miss you and love you all so much
And I always will
Remember me, your lotto dog, Bernie ...
Goodbye."




Forever in our hearts and memories
We will always love you, our 1st boy.


Karen, John & Rosie Mazzarella









For my dearest

"Tulip"

March 2, 1998 - April 12, 2010

Sunlight streams through window pane
Unto a spot on the floor. . . .
Then I remember,
It's where you used to lie,
But now you are no more.

Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
And muted echoes sound. . . .
Then I remember,
It's where your paws would joyously abound.

A voice is heard along the road, and up beyond the hill,
Then I remember it can't be yours. . . .
Your golden voice is still.

But I'll take that vacant spot of floor
And empty muted hall
And lay them with the absent voice
And unused dish along the wall.

I'll wrap these treasured memorials in a blanket of my love
And keep them for my best friend
Until we meet above.

My dearest brave girl -
Always incredible! Always my love.

For my beloved

"Stetson"

November 4, 2006 - September 4, 2009

Grow, little flower,
reach for the light,
your sweet little spirit
forever will bloom.

Glow, little star,
tucked into the heavens,
cradled with care
in the curve of the moon.

Blow, little leaf,
to a beautiful someplace,
safe in the sheltering
arms of a breeze.

Know, little one,
that you'll always be with us...
forever held close
in our love's memories.

My beautiful boy. My joy.
I love you forever, Stetson.

I'm going to give you the biggest bellyrub
when I see you. And then we'll play fetch.

Love, Daddy

Golden Memories

They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true
We never wanted memories, we only wanted you.
A million times we cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place no one else can fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane.
We'd walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us back one by one, the chain will link again.
--Author Unknown




Jakey - you are forever in our hearts.
You gave us so much joy!
Til we meet again --
We love you! Mom and Dad

"In one of the stars
I shall be living --
In one of the stars
I shall be loving you...
and so it will be as if all the stars were smiling
when you look at the sky at night...
and there is sweetness in the laughter of all the stars...
and in the memories of those we love..."

For Noelle

Sleep Well Little Angel


Cherished by the Baker Family

2005

I never held you in my arms or felt the beat of your heart -
I never looked into your eyes
or breathed in your sweet puppy breath -
you were never mine -
but I gave you your name and wept when you died.

There were others who loved you, fought for you
had plans and dreams for you!
Oh, you were to have a wonderful life!
Filled with soft beds, yummy treats and hugs ...
enough to last your lifetime.
You never got a chance to live that life -
it was not fair my little angel.

Noelle was about 8 weeks old when she died of pneumonia,
in her foster mom's arms.
She was born in a puppy mill - auctioned with her young mom
on a cold November day at 6 weeks of age.
Her litter mates died the day before in the auctioneers "care".

I give thanks that Noelle made it out of the puppy mill and
died with dignity and love in the warm caring arms of her foster mom -
who I thank from the bottom of my heart for loving and cuddling her
and making the last weeks of this tiny Charlie Angel so special.

We have a secret, you and I, that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand, before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths and see ahead of me,
your small form racing with the wind
so young again, and free!
And only I can see you swim in every brook I pass.
and when I call, no one but I can see the bending grass.

"In The Candle's Glow"

Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.
Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.
Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.

"When Tomorrow Starts Without Me"

I think of all our yesterdays
The happy times and sad,
I think of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had!

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you,
And maybe see you smile.

This morning began without you,
But we're not so far apart,
Every time I think of you --
You're right here, in my heart."

Oliver! Most Beloved Boy!



Living in the Heart of Your Dad - Carter Bryant

August 1, 2004 - April 22, 2007

"Always Oliver"

Always so curious, always by my side
You had an ever present 'smile' and loved going for a ride
Always happy temperament, little jumping bean
You let me hold you like a baby
Cutest thing I'd ever seen!
Little Dog-leg-nipper, little cooing growl
Baby Bark so precious, and Sirens made you howl
Burrowing into pillows, then sleeping at my feet
And on that trip to Washington,
We could have used a lot more heat!
Always there to clean the ears of all your canine friends
Little thief who stole my shoes, then brought them back again

Soul too big, heart too huge for your little role
You were loved, and still are with every ounce of my soul
You were my life saver when my days were dark
Then you saved my life again although it broke my heart -
I know I'll never be the same without your smiling face
But I will meet you soon for sure
In God's special place

Just one more thing before I go
The joy and love you brought to me
Is more than you could know
You're always here in my heart
I see you every day in the faces of my little babes
Who've since come my way
Your soul is in their eyes
Your joy is in their play
Dog-joy to you always Oliver
Until our Special Day
I love you.
Dad













Buddy and Gracie

My Dearest Friends


Cherished Members of the Webb Family

June 1993 - March 7, 2007

Sometimes it hurts to do the right thing. Though my heart breaks, it's a
small price to pay for the gift of 7 yrs. with my Buddy Boy and Gracie Girl.

Buddy was given up due to his diabetes - when he entered our lives, he
was the happiest boy! In constant motion or with his paws in the air, begging!
Despite his myriad health problems, he loved life with a contagious enthusiasm!
He was the blind teacher who saw much better than I,
the risk taker, my never-give-up companion, my hero.

Gracie was my comforter, my soulmate. She and Buddy became the "perfect pair".
Gracie's sole mission in life was to Nurture - and she did it better than
any human I've met! This was learned in the 7 yrs. spent in a puppy mill.
She gathered all the stuffed animals to wash, take care of, keep warm!
Gracie changed my life forever, was my first rescue and a reminder that
she was no different from other pets! She deserved the best!
Gracie's gratitude was unfailing, she was my biggest fan and
brought out the best in me. My Gracie was in every sense,
my Lucky Star who urged me on and now surely shines brightly in the heavens!
Farewell, my friends. Snuggle close together at the Bridge.
Watch and wait for me. Rest in peace, my dear hearts, until we meet again...
