Pet Tributes

A speck of dust. A blink of an eye. I pray to God I can reach heaven and see my Maui again, his bark and his tail wagging. Each sunset will be filled with thoughts of our walks, his eyes saying, 'Love you lots, Mom; everything’s OK. I have an endless supply of tennis...

My gentle "buddah buddy" finally succumbed to diabetes and heart disease. You would never know he was even sick. Gentle, warm, and cuddly until the end, he put up with daily insulin injections, blood draws, and much more and never once acted out. His peaceful, chill...

My Georgia girl. A true lab, one who loved swimming, chasing toys, sunbathing, dog parks, and car rides. A gentle girl who also really loved to stare at walls and rub her face on her favorite people in the world. Georgia was that soul-dog, one who filled the room with...

Oh Krystal, where can I start? You were my favorite hamster, and I loved you so much. You made me smile when you would crawl on me with your little paws. You made me so happy. I love you so much, you were the best. Your kids, G Wagoon and Lemonade, will miss you too....

Molly was a very sweet and lucky girl. She had a great mom who loved her very much. All pets should be so lucky.

My wonderful Lumi came into my life one late night in October 2010 while I was browsing a shelter website, shortly after being discharged from the Marine Corps. She was 10 months old, according to the shelter, and a stray. I thought, "Oh my God, what a beautiful dog!"...

Molly was so special to me. My son Anthony brought Molly home to me during his senior year of high school. I was a single mom at the time, and my son thought Molly and I needed each other as he ventured off into adulthood. Molly never left my side. We were attached at...

There are no words to truly express our love for our sweet smoosh Duchess. She was only 14, and I have to assume someone in heaven really needed her smooshes because our little family, which we thought would be together much longer, now has a huge hole in it. She was...

Our dearest Lucy, our beloved Lucy Lu, we miss you so much since you crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on November 19, 2023. It is still so hard even now to write this in your honor. We adopted you in October 2020, and you came into our lives with so much light and...

Nomad had a good heart (except when it came to surviving surgery). He was always open to meeting other friendly dogs and would often veer off on his walk toward a dog he wanted to meet. He was an avid tail-wagger and never aggressive toward others. The only time he...

Ruger, Jake and Elwood were all a part of our family for 14 years. We got each as pups a few months apart ! Ruger was big but because he grow up with Jake and Elwood he thought he was 10 pounds! The joy they brought us could never be matched and we miss them dearly!

We knew we had something special with Ragu the moment we brought him home in February 2014. There wasn’t a person he didn’t love. In fact, if anybody had broken into our house, he probably would’ve licked them to death. He was the sweetest, cutest, and spunkiest...

On Monday, 8/19/24, our dear sweet golden retriever, Chandler, asked us to relieve her pain and let us know that her time had come. It was unexpected and much too soon, but I had promised her that if she ever felt her time had come, she should tell me. I had always...

Batman joined my life 16 years ago when he was new to this world. I'd moved back to Boulder in Spring 2008 after living in Bolivia, found a nice treehouse in which to dwell, and adopted this sweet little bat-eared boy & his gray-toned sister Luna. They were the...

It's so sad that I don't have any pictures of my dogs because I was still very young and didn't have a phone when they were with me. They were very good dogs. Lampack was a male, while Runi was a female. She died while pregnant in a field, hit by a car. God, I can't...

Baylyn was the love of our lives from the moment we went to "look" at puppies at the Humane Society. Baylyn was our first fur baby and taught us all about unconditional love. She was sassy, spunky and so full of love. We were blessed for 12 and 1/2 years with our...

My baby boy Romeo was everything to me. He helped me in more ways than he ever knew. I got my baby boy when he was just 5-weeks-old and from that day, he had my heart. Romeo was a Chihuahua but had a pit bull attitude. One minute he was your friend and the next he...

We had to say goodbye to our beautiful sweet Daisy Pupup on May 23, 2024. My heart is broken into about a million pieces still. She was the sweetest, most loving, silly girl and is already missed so much. It was so unbelievably hard to say goodbye to her, it's just...

Muddy Mae, it has taken me a while to try and find the words to express how much you mean to me and how much I love you. My heart is broken without you and you will always have a piece of my heart with you. I was not originally looking for a cat to adopt. I was just...

Dr. Chas was amazing! We knew he was gonna be a good guy when he walked in our door and our Frenchie girl got very happy. He explained everything that was going to happen. Talked to us about what we had done prior to that day while loving on her the whole time. He...

Kita was, and continues to be, my world. The beauty that made up her eyes, fur, energy and soul that once filled the room, now fills up the world around me. When I want to be close to her again, I look to the trees, the mountains, the sky, and everything else around...

Our beautiful girl, Belka, was a very sweet soul. She was known and loved by many. She had a way of always being there for me during my darkest times to uplift my spirit. During her 13 1/2 years of life, she was not only my support, but also was the support to many in...

To daddies' sweet boy, You were the kindest, most gentle soul we have ever known, more so than any human. You outlived your sister and littermate, Lola, who is remembered here on this page, by 1.5 years. During that time, you were allowed to show us how exceptional...

Ringo was a puppy mill survivor that I adopted from the National Mill Dog Rescue in Payton, CO. If I had a million dollars to give them for the work that they do and for the gift that Ringo was in our lives, it would not be enough by a long shot. I remember seeing the...

Making the decision to help your fur baby cross the Rainbow Bridge is one of the most difficult decisions a pet own has to make. My sweet babies were with me for 16 years after they rescued me in 2008. They were with me through divorce, empty nest, 2 moves and a lot...

I rescued Royal when she was ten days old, when she was near dead, and in return, she rescued me many times over these last 19 years. She showed me what the will to live was when, at the age of ten days, the vet said she wasn't going to make it. By the age of 8 weeks,...

Benny, from the moment you hopped in our laps at the Dumb Friends League 13 years ago, our lives were never the same again. You were fearless, inexhaustible, and just a little crazy in the best way. The bond was undeniable and the inseparability mutual. I’ll never...

A 3 year old basset hound with the most loveable eyes you'd ever seen. Born in Texas, he picked up the duty of kitten dad and is the only basset hound that could never howl, no matter how hard I tried to teach him. By 5 months, he'd already beat parvo. At 7 months...

THE IRREPRESSIBLE MR. LUCKY! Hardly a delivery or trash truck, visiting stranger, or passerby on the nearby trails (human and/or canine) failed to arouse his ire! And then there was mealtime, door activity -- and he'd go berserk at a broom or vacuum cleaner! A great...

This was really hard to write took me 3 weeks but my chemo was with me for 15 years. I got her at a rescue and from there they said I had to come back in a week as she was a very sick puppy and they couldn't release her until she was better. The longest week of my...

When Jackson came into my life in 2017 they told me he was probably about 10 years old and maybe had another 2 years in him. He was originally named Cody and I still think that’s why I had such a bond with him from the first second that I saw his picture. They just...

I lost my sweet buddy this past Monday. He was my loyal loving companion for 17 1/2 years. My heart is broken and I will miss him until I see him again. I know he’s in a better place and feeling so much better now. Love you and miss you Bear❤️

August 24, 2022 Today is the day that we have all dreaded its coming. When we added you to our family 15 years ago, you filled an empty void in our lives and hearts after losing Petey. You are an amazing and unique fur baby. I have always wished that you could talk to...

On August 31st we said goodbye to our best friend and sweetest boy in the world. Bear, every single step without you is hard. 12 years is a long time, but it wasn’t enough time for us. We selfishly wish you were still here, but know that you are now at peace - no more...

Buster…15 years ago we picked you at four weeks old. Of the litter of chocolate labs your darker color caught our eye the most. You were the most mellow and easy to train Labrador. Walks, swimming in Windsor Lake, and being outside in the yard with us were some of...

Caring Pathways is amazing!! I would recommend this outstanding company to everyone who has to make that tough decision to say goodbye to their beloved pet. The Dr's that came to our home with both of our dogs, made us all feel so very comfortable and at peace. Dr....

Bo..... When my granddaughter and I walked into your store to find you waiting for us 3 months in a row and finally adopting you and bringing you home, oh my goodness, what a time in our life. You have been the most beautiful blessing from the time you were tease........

When I rescued a senior dog , I did so knowing that they have lived the majority of their years. The plus is that you get to make their last chapter their best chapter! Schatzi picked me to be the author of her last chapter; we seniors, we were two of a kind. Her...

Almost 14 years ago, I tried to foster 4 kittens and Foxy was one of them. I failed as a foster, and my darling Foxy spent her life with me and her 2 brothers (the fourth was adopted and after that I failed as a foster). Foxy was born blind, but she absolutely fooled...

My Ruby Doo, it's been a little over 24hrs since you went over the Rainbow Bridge. I selfishly wish you were still here with me but know you are in a better place running around and playing. You were the best dog I could ever hope for. I will miss you for the rest of...

The day I adopted Gizmo, I wanted one of the other kittens that had become available at the Denver Animal Shelter the same day. As I walked past his cage a couple times, he would stretch out as far as possible to catch my attention (no other cats did that). He knew...

Sweet Hades, we just said goodbye a few hours ago and we miss you terribly. We knew it was time to relieve you of your pain. We couldn’t be selfish and go on like this. If we could keep you forever, we would. You beds and baskets of toys are here for you. We went for...

Dear Roux, In exactly six weeks you would turn fifteen years old, but you won’t. A part of me wanted to wait until that milestone to let you go, but it wouldn’t be right, just like keeping you here any longer because I don’t want to say goodbye isn’t right. The vet...

Our guy had a life before us… we brought him home from the shelter when he was about 7 years old, scrawny and underfed. But the next 7 years were John’s. From the moment they met, my “boys” bonded and they were inseparable. Buster had an unusually long body and an...

I adopted Khloe in 2013. She was shy at first but quickly came out of her shell when she knew she was safe and loved. She enjoyed both the ocean and the mountains. Her favorite thing to do on hikes was to climb the rocks. She would get up on rocks and look at the...

There is so much to say about Cara. She came into my life when I needed someone the most. She had severe separation anxiety and would whine non-stop when she wasn't around me. I was her mom, even though I'm a male human. She hated to be on a leash. Leash training was...
