• This is Sam, our first critter baby. We adopted him when he was 7 from a family that just "didn't have time for him anymore". What's wrong with some people? He was the smartest of all my dogs and a totally devoted to his momma. We lost him at 14 to a bad heart that made him old before his time.

  

  

  This guy is my baby, Frankie. We got him when Sam was still alive so he always thought he was little too. LOL We rescued him from a too small cage in a dirty pet store. We found when we researched his papers that he came from a puppy mill. He was such a good boy though. We lost him much too early at just 7 due to bone cancer and kidney failure.

  

  

  This is the Beaze. What a little terror he was. LOL We rescued him from the streets of Taiwan and he never lost his wildness. He slept with my teenage daughter every night but if she moved her feet, he'd bite her toes. LOL I don't know what finally took him. He just started wheezing and passed on the way to the vets. He was hubby's best friend.

  

  

  And then there was Hershey who just passed 12/12/08 at 16 years of age. He was a great dog and quite the clown. We adopted him from a rich family who also "didn't have time for him anymore". He was 6 I think. His previous owners had him groomed every 6 weeks but never took him to the vet! What's wrong with that picture? Poor baby had chronic ear infections until I cut wheat and corn out of his diet. He was Frankie's buddy and really became depressed until lil Jack came along.

  

  

  

  Sorry about all the pics but I just couldn't choose. :(

• I lost my special boy to the pet food recall! He was my boy and I loved him so much.. I really miss him and always will. I did get another cat (Manx mix) but no one will every fully replace S.S. (Super Soft). He was a mom's boy and loved by all..

  

  This is my special boy!

  Thanks for adding this post.. I have been wanting to add him and now I did.

  I am sorry for all of those who have lost too! I really know what it is like but worse when you feed them food you think is fine and then they are gone in about a week. Fed by my hand..

  This was Garfield, he passed a few years ago, he had an obstruction in his urinary tract.  He was a wonderful furbaby, we miss him so much.  He sat like a person on the couch.

• This is Pearl. I lost her in September 2008 due to Parvo. I got her at 5 mths old from a breeder. I didnt get no vet records (big mistake) and was told she was utd on all shots. SHe lived a happy and normal life for the first month of having her. The night before she died she had threw up and with it came some worms. I figured no big deal I'll take her to the vet and get it taken care of. The next morning I made her a vet appt. and it seems since then she was going down hill. I took her to the vet and they did a parvo test on her and it came back positive. They sent me to a animal hospital that could help her more than i could. By the time i got there (bout an hour) she couldnt control her bowls and it was straight blood. I was going to pay the 2000 or more to make her all better but they said since she couldnt control her bowels she probably wouldnt make it so I made the tough decision to put her out of her misery. That was so hard for me, and even tho I only had her for a month She became my best friend, like a daughter to me. I never left her home alone, she was always with me. I miss her dearly and there will never be another pearl! I called the breeder i got her from adn told him about what had happened and he said "oh yeah a boxer i traded with brought the parvo . He offered me another dog to replace her and i told him no thank you i will never get another dog from you!

   .

  

  This is blackberry! He was the best cat i have ever had. He was more of my daughters cat, he would let the kids do anything to him and he would just sit in there laps and take it. I didnt want him to be an outside cat because i live in town, but he literally insisted, every time we would open the door to leave, he would run out, so we decided to let him out (felt horrible leaving him in the house all the time when i liked to be outside)   He got ran over on easter of this year. Thank god for me having nice neighbors and burying him before me and the kids got home. My daughter still tells me everyday that she misses him! We are planning to get another kitten not to replace blackberry but to help the healing process.

  

  
  His favorite place to lay in the house...lol

• Here is my wonderful Shaka. I rescued him 16 years ago, he was almost one at the time. My first dog...he was always by my side. He saw me though a terrible divorce and living on my own, a move from Seattle to Virginia, he would lay by my side and take over the bed, but he kept me from feeling so alone 3000 miles away from home. He made the move with me to Tampa and helped me meet my current husband. He was my very best friend in the world, I will miss him forever. He was so gentle and loving all he ever wanted was to be by my side and to love me. His eyes looked into my soul and brought me so much happiness. In the end he could not walk and my husband had to carry him into the Vet's office. As he lay in my arms they put him to sleep. It's been a few weeks and I still can not stop crying.

  RIP my Shaka, my love for you is eternal.

  

  These where taken 2 days before he went to heaven

  This is my Indy kitty. She was dropped off in my yard when she was just a small kitten. I had her for 6 years and she was ran over recently. It was on a Saturday and the next Saturday exactly one week later i came home to find a very tiny kitten in my yard who of course i kept. I like to think of it as if Indy realized that I missed her so badly that she found a helpless baby who needed a mommy and brought him to me to help me heal and the new baby to live. I miss her but Tigger(the new kitty is helping me through)

  This is my Smokey and my Papaw, sadly both have passed on and taken their places in heaven.

  Smokey was my first pet. She was half German Shepard half Dobie. We got her when I was five years old. I am an only child with a rough childhood and Smokey was my sister and best friend. She took care of me and protected me, she listened to me wine, complain and cry but always stood by my side or layed in my lap to comfert me and kiss me. She had a very long life, she lived from me being 5 until i was 22. A nice long 17 years. It still hurts but I will see her again someday.

• i dont have any pics of my fur babies taht have past but this year has been rough as far as looseing them is concered...

  first this year we lost jezabell she was my female ball python that i has had for 2 month she had a great personality and she loved the kids,

  last month we lot saxon my male ball python he was sick and he died befor i could get him to a vet , i had saxon for about 2 years he was a loveable boy who i could handle around rodent and he would never strike, he was my dds favorit out of the reptiles,

  and this yester day morning we lost max, form what we can tell he was rolled by a car and he died in his favorit spot along the road were he likeed to sit and sun himself,max was a stray that my step dad had rescued for the allentown pund 20+ years ago, he came home about 15 yrs ago when my step dad moved home for good over the years max has chased foxs from r yard and kept order when the strays came around to eat, one year he lost a ear to a fight, he looked funny but he was r max, even though he was declawed it didnt stop him form catching field mice and chipmunks and it never stopped him from swatting a to friendly of a dog on the nose max was my dds buddy she could dress him up and wrap him in a blanket and heould but him in a box or a wagon and he would just sit there and take it. yesterday was rough on her b/c shes never lost someone who met so much to her. i tried explaining that max wasnt in pain anymore and he wasnt sick, and that he was with friends in the sky and ws very happy acting like a kitten again

  i'll miss my fur babies i just wished that the new baby had time to get to know them befor they pasted i know they can never be replaced and time will heal the hurt, but for now i will cry for the newest lost and keep explaining to my dd why they had to go.

• We lost two of our furbabies last month, within a few weeks of each other.  The first one was Baby Man, who was around 14 years old.  He developed heart problems and his liver functions were shutting down.  It was a very tough decision to make, but we had to have him euthanized.  He became so weak that he could no longer walk.  Baby Man belonged to my oldest daughter, Angie, and he lived at our house in town with her.

  

  The other one was River Kitty who lived out at the river with Jerry and I.  About 8 years ago he came walking out of the corn field.  He was just a tiny kitten that someone had dumped.  We took him in and we became very attached to him.  He disappeared a few weeks ago.  He never wandered more than a few yards away from the house.  Jerry thinks that a couple of coyotes may have gotten him.  I shudder at the thought and feel guilty that I didn't make him come in the house that night before we went to bed.  I pray that he is in a better place.

  

  This picture was taken just a couple of days before he disappeared. 

  We miss both of the kitties very much.
