...In Memory ofBeautiful Bambie - 1999 As much as I would love to share how beautiful my Bambie was with the world I am unable to show a picture. She was a little labrador cross poodle, black with a white patch down under her chin, she gave new meaning to the saying big brown puppy dog eyes. She was never cold to me, always aware of my feelings, knowing when I was sad or happy and at times was the only one there to wipe my tears with her soft coat. She could always distinguish between a visitor to our house and a stranger and always acted accordingly. She'd keep a watchful eye on our house and all who lived inside, even in illness she rested her weak head on our fence so she could warn of any intruders. She was so smart she knew how to coax Rex away from the tennis ball so that she could grab it, my sister and I would laugh as she'd plan her little schemes. She never did anything bad, not one mess made or shoe torn, she was thoughtful, loving and compassionate. Near death, she'd still wag her tail illustrating just how wonderful she was. For fourteen long years we took care of each other, growing up together, I made so many mistakes but she was ALWAYS forgiving and understanding. My little Bambie, I love you and I wish you were still here, more than anything in the world. I'll never forget you, I'm sorry, goodbye... Claire Villanueva
...In Memory ofPepe - 1999  This is in loving memory of Pepe who loved and barked his way through over 9 years of life. Pepe was often yelled at for chasing his tail, for getting in the way as he shadowed every step we made, lay in front of the door to
our daughter's room, lay on a bed and got it muddy.
It is for all those times we will especially miss him. There are so many memories. Everyone in the neigbourhood knew Pepe by his bark. He was so predictable, anytime someone went by, no matter how often the same person or dog went by Pepe had to go out and bark at them. That's all gone now. I'm greatful that Pepe
went from being a barking "nuisance" to being too sick to carry on in less
than one week. That short a time didn't prepare us for his leaving though,
especially my husband who was away when the seriousness of his condition
became apparent. I think he kept going as long as he did just for us. Just
before I took him to the vet he went outside and a dog was going by-he
started to run and gave one bark. I thought, maybe he really is ok. I knew
differently deep down but thought there would be longer left. I had no idea
how quickly the end became inevitable. The house is so empty now. We will
all miss him for a long time.
...In Memory ofSir Max Tyson (Boxer) 1989 - May 7, 1999  A proper farewell for my fallen
angel: You are missed so much. I remember you by my side as I worked in
our yard. I can still see the panicked look on your wrinkled face when a
thunderstorm was brewing. No matter where I was or what I was doing, I
would make a mad dash home to let you in so you would feel safe. The
connection between us was gold and, deep down, I think you knew I would
always show up to save you. Then there was the flatulence I tolerated to
keep you in the house. You cracked up many people with that maneuver. In
every way, you are a wonderful hunk of dog and I know by now you are doing
the bidding of our Lord, and surely you are comforting and loving someone or
something.
When your heart got sick, I tried so hard to make you well. I followed your Dr.'s advice, gave you medicine, watched what you ate, etc., but in the end, it was something I couldn't fix. On May 7, when you had gotten so unsteady on your feet and I could see the tremendous pain you were feeling reflected in your eyes, your Dr. mercifully administered the drugs that would take away your pain but I made sure you didn't feel alone. Joe and I held you in your yard, prayed for you and I saw you after you left, sitting at the feet of our Lord. We marked your grave with a marble stone inscribed with your name. I go out there a lot so I can feel close to you again. Your pictures remain my most treasured items and I will never forget you, sweetie. Love, Momma
...In Memory of"Tribute to "Peppsi" - 1999 Pepsi was our 13 year old collie we got when he was 3 months old. We never had children so Pepsi was our child we never had. He made our family whole. Pepsi had a stroke on Aug.3rd. We had to put him to rest on 4th. It was the hardest thing we ever had to do. We had him cremated and got his ashes back today. It feels a little better now. THANKS LYNN AND DICK [PEPSIS PARENTS]

...In Memory of"Tribute to Princess - 1999
When the lights go out I cry thinking of all the wonderful times we had together. I have known you since I was eight and now I'm twelve. I know our first few years of being together started out rough but as I got older I started to love you more. At night you would sleep with me and when I looked into your eyes you would always have this motherly look on your face and it made me feel warm and safe just having your presence with me. I would always look forward to coming home after school to see you. Every day I would sit and read while you laid in my lap and I would think of how my life would be like without you but now I know what it feels like.
I wish I never went to my grandmas house for two months because you couldnt come with me. When I found out you were sick I thought it was no big deal. And when after two months I could finally see you I found out you were in the hospital I cried. The next day we got a call saying that princess had passed away. She had died of heartworm. I cried for two whole weeks. I miss you and I love you with all my heart I will never forget you
...In Memory of"Sunny's Story" - 1999
A tiny puppy was found wandering the streets--starving. Her rocky start in life left her with the fear that she would never get enough to eat. She took so long to grow up--about seven years. When she did she was wonderful-- a beautiful big Golden Lab. We would walk uptown and tourists would stop to speak to her and tell her how pretty she was. She always hated to be left behind, and always loved to go camping. When her bones ached and she could hardly move, she still wanted to be by my side--as close as possible. When she stumbled and fell and could no longer go on her beloved walks, I knew it was time to let go. Let go of my friend of thirteen years. My friend who listened to all my grumblings and felt all my pain, and answered me with her eyes.
My dog has given me far more than I have given her. I will always miss her.
I will never touch those velvet ears again. I didn't think it would be this
hard.....................
...In Memory of"Tribute to Kodiack" - 1999
This is our beloved Kodiack. From the day we brought him home at 9 weeks he was the smartest kindest and gentlest bear of o dog you would ever want to meet. We had to allow him to go to his final resting place today 3-24-99 due to a cancerous tumor that had already affected his vital organs. Even at the ripe old age of 8 years and 11 months he was still like a puppy. We have others but none will ever replace our gentle giant and the grief is almost overwhelming.. He will be greatly missed by all that had ever knew and loved him.. Thank-You ol man for always being there for us.
Thank-you for giving us a place to express our feelings. The Williams
...In Memory of"Tribute to Sassy" - 9-18-89 to 1-26-99 
It s getting late, at my home tonight-
as I sit aching in silence, in my chair;
I feel the new emptiness begin to surround me,
for the mornings decision, seems so unfair..
If you have ever felt the true loyalty, of a family member with fur- You must have looked into my Sassy s face, and received a smile from her.. For as you look into her big, dark eyes- Your heart melts & it s so easy to see, That this gentle puppy, sister, and mother, Is everything that a Boxer could be...
So my precious Sassy girl, crawl into my arms one last time, As my merciful hands hold your beautiful head high.. Please let the Angels come take you sweetie For now with compassion, I must kiss you Goodbye...
Someday I will watch for your precious face again, & await the soft,
tender licks upon my cheek- as I once more look into your loving eyes
So please watch for your Mommy when I cross the Rainbow Bridge & until then,
Remember my sweet Sassy girl I will love you forever.
