INDY 1988-1998
Greyhound. Greatly loved pet of Darby and Ron.
Adopted through the Greyhound Pets of America, Indy was a true treasure. He loved people. He would wag his tail and "smile" at anyone who came to the door. We watched his black face turn white with age, and we did as much as God would allow to prolong his life. He was our beloved boy dog, and we will always miss him terribly. He gave so much love in return for so little. How fortunate we are to have shared your life.


JASMINE 1995-1998
Chow. Devoted pet of the Martin's.
Jasmine was loved by all. She was my protector from evil and my guiding hand. Her whole family loved her. But no one loved her more than me. We have a bond, and that bond shall last forever.


JO 1987-1998
Poodle. Beloved pet of Macho Locicero.
We love and miss you. Wait for Jo on Rainbow Bridge. A true, loyal friend to the end who left with his dignity.



KABUKI October 1984-August 25, 1998
Chocolate Seal-Point Siamese Cat. Dearly missed pet of Jean and Martin Liben.
He will be eternally missed. He loved his sunny windows and his kitty toys and sitting in his own chair at the dinner table.



KITTY 1991-1998
Beloved pet of Sonja. My big fat cat was a skinny little stray when my friend found her and gave her to me. She was a little strange, but she loved me and I loved her. She never cared much for any body else, and had little to do with anyone in the family but me. We had her 7 years and when we moved, she moved with us and was happy in each new location. We just moved to our latest new home and Kitty was finally feeling comfortable about going outside. I let her out 2 weeks ago and I haven't seen her since. I really miss her! She was MY Big Fat Cat!

LADY BIRD 1994-1998
Cocker Spaniel. Devoted pet of Kathy. Lady Bird was found on the side of the road in Arkansas. We had her only 5 years but she was my life. I miss her so much.




LADY CHANEL 1984-1998
LASO APSO. Cherished pet of the Carroll Family.
Friend to all she came in contact with.




LINDSEY - Died summer of 1997
MALTESE. I miss him, and hope he and Sharkey are together.
~ "Mom" Mary Peterson




LucyLUCY - September 22, 2003
Lucy, a poodle/bichon mix, was given to me and my family at age 2 and was rescued from the League for Animal Protection. She came to me a shy, scared dog and within a short period of time she became one of our most valued family members. Lucy was just bursting with personality, with eyes that really spoke out loud. She was loved by everyone who came in contact with her and she will never be forgotten. To this day I cry when I think of her.
"Mom" - Ellen
(She is precious, Ellen, and I know you gave her a lifetime of love. She was blessed to be a part of your family. ~Barbara)


MAC 1986-1998
West Highland Terrier. We miss having his little energetic body around. He was a very faithful companion but was very afraid of thunderstorms and car rides. We had a lot of laughs with Mac and we sorely miss him. Mom, Dad, Pat, Lesa and Jordan



MAGGIE 1992-1998
Yellow Lab. She was my best friend and loved me unconditionally. I couldn't have asked for a more devoted pet. Maggie had a stroke at six years old. We are all still devastated from that horrible day. Mom, Dad, Pat, Lesa and Jordan deeply miss her.



MAGIC June 1988-September 1998
Chow-Spits. Devoted pet of Rob, Terri, Archie and Courtney. Magic was a very good dog and went with us everywhere. She loved to play in the snow and play with the horses. She was a smart dog and knew who was allowed to be around and who wasn't. Her favorite thing to do most was to go in the mountains with us and follow us on the horses and see all the wild animals. She will be missed not only but us but by the rest of the family.

MAX
You weren't what we were looking for, but it took only seconds for you to steal our heart. Though your time was short, please know you will never be forgotten and always be loved. Sweet, wonderful Max, our Christmas angel. With love and many regrets for what could have been from your "Mom" and "Dad," Mark and Susan Williams, Norman, Okla.


MIA
Mia Adopted me on April 8, 1998 and died October 1, 2000
She was a gray domestic short-hair cat.
Hi Mia Mouser. Your sisters Xel-Ha, Lacy, Tavish and Abby know something is wrong. I think they knew before I did. At least now you will be able to see those babies of yours. Thank you for adopting me. You let me know what it means to be loved and wanted, and I thank you so much for that. The girls, Gene and I will be missing you tremendously. I just hope you have a window that is open now so you can see everything that is going on outside. Be a brave little hunter and I will see you when I see you. Love, Mommy (Paula Gaumer)

MOE GOLLER 8/4/87 - 8/6/98
Huskey/collie/shepard mix. Devoted companion of Linda Goller. Smart, lazy, loveable, missed very much, could spell, blow his nose (he had allergies) said please when he wanted something. You are not forgotten bum.



MORGAN 1990-1998
Golden Retriever. Beloved pet of Kathy.
Morgan, although you are gone from earth, you will always be in my heart and memories. You were there for me, when everyone else had gone. You slept beside me, comforted me when sad..and rejoiced in my happiness....you loved me like us humans can only strive to love. My forever friend, I miss you....Love Moma

NAPOLEON 1985-1990
Chihuahua. Dearly missed pet of Paula Vitale. I got him as a runt puppy in 1985 and he passed away due to heart failure in 1990. He did not live for a terribly long time, but for the time that he did, he was my best buddy. I miss him every day. He was a Chihuahua. His best buddy was a half wolf/half shepherd mix named Fuzzy. Even though Napoleon was "small but mighty", he was protected by the wolf. They were true friends.

NAPPY 2001-2004
Jack Russell Terrior
Amy and Jr's 1st baby
Nappy was precious with attitude. I am sure he is ruffling the feathers of the angels in heaven.
He will always be in my heart and be so sadly missed. In his short little life he was so loved.
I miss you Nappy, like I told you so many times "mommy loves you".

 


NIKHALIS 12-12-84 - 10-04-97
Shih Tzu. Devoted companion of Larry & Darla Phoenix. Nikhalis was one of God's Creations that is impossible to copy. He made your heart sing just looking into his eyes. His love was as pure as nature and his eternal flame will always burn with in our hearts. He was a member of our family and we will never forget him.






NORTON 8/4/92 - 7/12/98
Blue Cattle. Norton was the beloved pet of Deanne Tickner.
My Best Friend Norton was sadly taken from me just before Christmas. He was the best dog you could ask for. He was our cricket fielder, ball chaser, trickster dog. He and I shared countless packets of Choc Chip Cookies together. He loved going for a drive in the car, tongue flapping in the wind and his foot on my shoulder (nails digging in of course), just enjoying himself. He loved his Rottie companion Simba (his girlfriend), they had a litter and I have Winnie and Patch his only sons. I miss playing ball with him, he could go for hours, and running around the backyard trying to wash him cause he just wants to play ball. I could never replace him, he was the Greatest. My Matey.


OSCAR August 1991~July 1998
Red Persian Cat. You gave me great comfort in a time of great sorrow, but no sorrow so far has been greater than the sorrow of losing you, my best friend. Mommy misses you terribly, but I know you are in God's hands. Love, Michele



PAKA Spring of 1974 - May 5, 1988 Collie-Shepherd mix Companion - Paula Gaumer Paka was my friend, pal, confidant and companion. She truly understood the meaning of unconditional love and trust. For 14 years she worked on teaching me how to love and respect another living creature ... and not ask for anything in return. I hope she is smiling down on me now and seeing that all of her hard work has finally paid off. I Love you "Paka-poophead" and miss you everyday.................


PEPE 1996-1997
Catahoula-Lab Mix. Beloved Pet of Jovana Rhodes. Pepe was a fat and stupid dog, but he was sweet and shy. He always got picked on by one of my other dogs and he always took it. I really miss him. I loved him so much, and I always think about him.

 


PETROVICH (PETER) 1976-1990
Cat. Devoted pet of Eileen Fitzpatrick and Russ and Dan Wilkening.
I remember so vividly the day I was standing at my sink washing dishes and felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I just knew someone was starring at me. When I turned around and saw all 31 pounds of you, I never dreamed that you would choose me to spend the rest of your days with. It took me months to find out that your owner died and the landlady threw you out in the alley. It has been eight years now since you went to Heaven, but there is never a day that goes by that I do not miss your company.

PINKY November 1988 - October 1999
Pinky was the beloved pet poodle of Amy Thomas, and Amy's mom, Sharon. Pinky was Amy's very best friend and confidante...she and Pinky did everything together. Pinky was very loving and caring...she would follow Amy everywhere. She went on trips with us...she was and will forever be part of our family. Amy has her buried outside her bedroom window where we planted a yellow rose bush on her grave.

PRISSY 1972-1988
German Shepard. Beloved pet of Doris. The breeder said she was not of top quality and he was going to put her to sleep. Prissy was on the top of quality for us, raised with my 4 children, loyal, loving, faithful - their protection when their father died. Now I have to believe she is with him still watching over them. You're both gone, but never forgotten.
