Sonya

 

This beautiful, sweet, loving companion of Grant, Carol, Kristen and Andrew passed on to rainbow bridge June 5, 2009.  They adopted Sonya through Yakima Valley pet rescue as a senior and gave her a loving forever home and Sonya loved them dearly for giving her the best last years of her life.  Even though they had to say goodbye to her that day, they shall never forget her as she lives on forever in their hearts.  Bless you Sonya for touching their hearts and lives. Some day, you shall see your beloved humans again.

A Simple Message From Your Pet

by Ken D. Conover

To have loved and then said farewell is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and
returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you. For the care that you gave to me
so unselfishly. For all of these things I am grateful and thankful. I ask that you grieve
not for the loss but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each other's lives.
My life was fuller because you were there, not as owner, but as my friend. Today, I am
as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among fthe flowers and
the sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures. I can run, jump and play
and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints
and no regrets and no aging. We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know
that togetherness is forever. You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such
as you are very rare and unique. Don't hold the love that you have within yourself.
Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies,
and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.

Your pet in heaven.

 

Butter

 

Tim and Audrey lost their precious friend and companion Butter.  Butter is gone but will never be forgotten. Butter will live on in the hearts of the family forever. April 19, 1997 – May 21, 2009

Our beloved Butter, our faithful friend,
and your love you shared till the very end.
For Butter years our family was blessed,
now it's time for you to rest.
You still live on in the hearts and minds,
of the loving family you left behind.

Patches

 

Patches was a rescue dog from the Yakima Valley pet rescue.  Her foster mom took her in and since she was 10 yrs old nobody seemed interested in giving her a loving forever home, except her foster mom who just fell in love with her just as much as Patches fell in love with her mom.  She lived with mom sleeping on moms bed near her always until she couldn't get up on the bed anymore by herself and mom had to lift her every night.  Patches got worse and medication helped until she came up with conditions that the vet could no longer help her and said it was her time.  Mom felt how unfair to only have this wonderful girl taken from her when she only had her for over a year.  Her mom held her and for the first time gave mom a kiss and a kiss was given back.  Patches passed away in the summer of 2008 and her resting place is between two miniture rose bushes.  Yes Mom has other dogs, but none can be like Patches.  She was a friend, a companion and a sweetheart that will live on and on in her moms heart until they meet again.   I still can't say good bye, so I will say good night sweetheart. And thank you for being my friend and companion. Mom loves you!  This Memorial is from her Mom, Catherine Leonard.

 

Thank You

Even though I`m gone, I`ll never forget the way you looked when we first met.
Your hand reached out and stroked my hair, our eyes glistened, fixed in a stare.
I knew from this moment how life would be, you were my companion and yours was me.
These memories are always in my head; long walks, the games, my cozy bed,
Gentle words spoken, never a yell, someone to listen, a secret to tell.
But, each year of mine was equal to seven.
I`ll be watching you now, from up here in heaven,
When rain drops fall, it`s my tears I cry,
Remembering your love from my bed in the sky.
Whispering winds carry my promise to you,
For being my friend I will forever....Thank You.

  I'm Still Here

Please don't mourn for me, I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day, and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone, but I'm always near. I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart, as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight, I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach, I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves, when fall comes around, and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond, the clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring, the first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine, and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you, you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face. Just look for me, I'm everyplace

Gone but never forgotten

 

Buddy Flower

 

This is Buddy.  Sadly he made his journey to the Rainbow bridge on January 30 2009.  This rescued Cocker Spaniel got to move with his owner/mom Katina from Nevada to Washington a few years ago.  He was obviously well traveled, and well loved.  He lived a long and happy life and was truly a very lucky dog and this Mom was blessd to have him.

Molly-M-Girl

 

Our beautiful "Molly-M-Girl" has gone for the walk over the rainbow bridge. She is with Jake, Gypsy and her many dog friends that have gone on before her  in Heaven waiting for us.  She loved us unconditionally and we loved her.  We have shared many trips to the mountains and the beach and the wonderful memories are ours forever. 

 

She had a tumor in her lymph that blocked circulation to her leg and it was swollen to the point she could not get up. The surgery may or may not have worked.

We had her for 13+ years and now it is time for her to rest. Goodbye.
