angel
Angel
Angel was the perfect name for her. She was in charge of the house, and ran a tight ship.
 She was very possessive of me and didn't want to share.
 I really am missing her, but so grateful for the time I got to spend with her.
When you wake up in the morning a bit stiff with minor aches and pains,
 and then watch her dance around with the others with that tumor,
 like it was made of cotton, you realize your little aches are non-existent.

Monty
Monty
We lost our Monty suddenly to cancer in November. He was my buddy for 12 years....
 he loved wrestling with Jake (our English Setter), swimming, rolling in the snow
 and playing hide and seek with our children. He was there through all our moves
 and kept me company as our children left the nest. Our family will miss him very much.

Patrick

Patrick
We lost our beloved Patrick in December, 2008, of cancer.
Fortunately, it was quick, and he never appeared to suffer too much.
It seems to me that too many Goldens go this way. Hopefully, someday there might appear
a solution to reduce these occurrences. Patrick was only 8, but led a full life.
Since I have been retired 8 years, Patrick and I were constant buddies.
He loved the outdoors - especially the beach, a local golf course after hours,
trips to the mountains, and long walks through our neighborhood. He would find golf balls
and I put them in a bowl "compliments of Patrick" for our golfing friends.
He had 100's of friends who remembered his name as we walked, and had no idea who I was.
"Patrick's dad, I guess! He loved people, and was loved in return.
We are missing him dearly, but have wonderful memories and are looking forward to meeting again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Lincoln   griff
Lincoln and Griffey

We lost our beautiful baby Lincoln to Canine Distemper.
Sadly, he had been infected at the pet store where we bought him.
We had him for a month and two weeks, and in that month he gave us so much unconditional love,
as we did in return. We did everything possible to keep Lincoln alive and healthy,
but the virus took over him. He had so much life, and even though he was sick,
he would still manage to get up and play with us. No matter where we went,
he would follow, and he would always wag his tail. He was not the average puppy because of his illness,
but no one could ever tell. His fight for life made us realize the important things in life.
He touched so many lives and he left us his wonderful spirit. He will always be in our hearts and memory.
Griffey our 15 year yellow lab has also crossed the rainbow bridge.We want you both to know that we love you very much, always and forever.
Love, Jenny and Jesse.
Lincoln : Jan 17, 2009 - May 18, 2009
Griffey: June 7, 1994 - June 5, 2009

Ranger
Though we only had Ranger for a year, he quickly became an important part of our life,
learning to swim, enjoying the pool and beach, and being my constant shadow... we will miss you sweet boy!

Muffin
Muffin
Our Little Girl Muffin, who we hoped would live 2 weeks
when she hobbled out of Miami-Dade, managed to make us smile for almost 2 years...she deserves to rest in peace.

Chaos snuggling with Muffin
He was our first Rescue (8 years ago). He was my special Guy.
Of course it was, once again, Hemangio Sarcoma of the spleen.
We found the tumor on Friday and it ruptured on Monday.
I miss his smiling face. No one smiled quite like he did.
I hope he is with Muffin now…. Lisa and Bob

Hobo
Hobo went to the Rainbow bridge on November 5, 2010.
He taught us all about strength, perseverance and the will to live.
The world is a lesser place without him.

Sonny
Sonny passed over the Rainbow Bridge in December, 2010... he was much loved and was Lucy's best friend...

Toby
We lost our beloved Toby on December 18, 2010.
Smiling and playful until the day he left us, Toby was a true 'miracle dog',
giving us 6½ blessed years after losing his front left leg to osteosarcoma in 2004.
His courage and attitude were an inspiration to so many,
and his story gave hope to parents of pets diagnosed with this horrible disease.
Every day with him was a gift from God. We love you, Toby.

Smokey

We guess there must be a great beach on the other side of The Rainbow Bridge.
Smokey never went far without a towel.
We hope he has a great time with Alley, Red, Muffin and Chaos....
the Hodgson Herd on the "other side"
Have fun at the beach!

Bailey

Bailey died Sunday of cancer at 9 years old. She was the most loving, kind dog in the world.
I will miss her forever. She loved her ducks and squirrels.  She had the most loving eyes of any animal.
 Thank you,

Bo
 They say it’s not how long you live but how full your life is and we can say that Bo filled ours
with more love and laughs in one year’s time than some people receive in a lifetime.
Although his time with us was brief, we are so blessed to have had the time together
 to love, care and nurture him and for him to love us back unconditionally.
He was our sweet and gentle boy. We miss him dearly but we know that no matter how deep his sleep
 he can still hear us and not all the power of death can keep his spirit from wagging a grateful tail.
