The Prince of Kirkwood
"Prince"

June 30, 1992 - August 26, 2006

Today at 4:00 PM Pat and I lost the best dog we've ever had, our obedient friend and leader of the pack. Prince just ran out of time, his heart gave out, and he's crossed to Rainbow Bridge. He was a special Sheltie with nothing but love in his heart. I've never had a better friend. I can hardly believe he's gone, but I believe I will see him again someday. For those of you with dogs, love them while you can especially your favorite.

Bailey Jacob of Eastham
"Bailey"

May 11, 2005 - October 11, 2006

Bailey, we found you on an Amish Farm and you immediately stole our hearts. We brought you back to Cape Cod and fell in love with you.

Bailey, you were unique in so many ways. You brought us such joy we could never thank you enough. Bailey, you captured the hearts of everyone from babies to elderly people. Your personality was always one of giving and pleasing.

We never had heard of the terrible disease GME until you started to show signs we did not recognize. We had you only for a month when the disease started. You fought a brave fight all the way until you finally died in my arms October11, 2006.

You had such a short 16 months but have left an everlasting impression on everyone. Dad, myself and your sister Michaelie will never be the same. When you died you took a piece of our hearts with you. Our only consolation is knowing you are at peace.

With all our love,
Mom, Dad and Michaelie (Sheltie)

"Blue"

I want to tell you about our son we lost in July very suddenly, this year at 11 years old. He was very loving, warm, always looked directly at you with his eyes when you talked to him, a protective and true friend. He was very proud, confident and very sure of himself. He was my wife’s protector and constant companion, they bonded from day one. He could tell if someone had cancer and would go sit next to them as if to say “Hi I am here to bring happiness to you right now, everything will be ok”. He loved everyone, let us know when something was wrong or things were not normal. Everyone that met him said he touched their heart and felt as if they had known him forever. It’s very difficult to write about him as I start crying as I miss him everyday.

His name was Blue and he came into our lives in October 2005. To this day I remember the first time I met him at the baggage claim at the airport. My wife flew to Portland and spent the day with him to make sure everyone would get along. She fell for him right off the bat. He came to us through a sheltie rescue group and we never have regretted that decision. During the 9 months he was with us it felt like he had been with us forever, loosing him was like loosing a very close family member and friend, which he will always be. He had a hard life before he came to his foster mom and finally on to us. He was very magical and we will never forget him, nor will our friends. I am convinced we will meet again someday. Now he has no more aches or pains and is at his prime.

We love and miss you Blue.

…I’m Still Here…
(Rainbow Bridge Version)
By Mariesa Richardson (c) 2006

Wherever you are tonight close your eyes,
Can you see me there?
Listen to the evening breeze, it's me comforting you,
As I gently nuzzle your hair

Drift off to dream as night surrounds you,
I'm snuggled at your feet
I know I've been your pride and joy,
My heart is yours to keep

For I'm still here for you,
With never ending love
And though we aren't together now,
I'm watching from above

So dry your tears, smile for me,
Let go your sorrow too
For I am home, peace is mine,
And I'm not lost to you

Look up to the skies above,
God's angels are here with me
And I'm your puppy angel now,
My spirit is light and free

So remember, don't be sad,
Cherish this message I send
I'm right here waiting at Rainbow Bridge,
Where love will never end

"Lucky"

June 7, 1994 - November 20, 2006

Dad and I miss your wagging tail everyday when we come home, and the way you always lay at our feet in the evening. You were always with one of us, following behind us or laying beside us.

We remember the fun times when you would put your toys at our feet and beg us to play with you. And of course your favorite was playing catch with your ball. Dad kept your ball in honor of you; it is with your picture in the living room.

We know this last year you were not feeling well, but you still managed to keep your tail wagging and always showed us your unconditional love. We miss you terribly but we are comforted knowing you are no longer in any pain and suffering.

Until we meet again, lots of love and hugs,
Mom and Dad

Kassidy of Amhurst

"Kassidy"

February 04, 2003 - July 31, 2006

Kassidy was our little nudger. She was always using her nose to nudge us when she wanted attention then she would flop over so her belly could be rubbed. She had never been out of the yard without being on a leash. We had been camping for the weekend and the travel trailer is the only place our furkids are allowed on the furniture. Kassidy was always laying by me, even my sister commented on it. When we arrived home, I was letting the furkids out of the car one at a time while parked in the alley and my husband was at the backyard gate to let them in. When it came Kassidy's turn, the neighbor drove up and stopped quickly when he saw us and scared Kassidy. After searching for many hours she was finally found by the pound the next morning. She had been hit by a car and left on the side of the road a few miles from home. We are devastated she had to die that way, so young, so scared and so alone. Mandy & Shadow (our two other shelties) miss her terribly, too. I still break down when I have to drive down the area she must have ran through. I'm not sure I will ever think of her without getting tears in my eyes. She will always be in our hearts.

We will always love and miss you, Kassidy ~
