Cowgirl, was my constant friend and companion for 14 1/2 years. She came to me at a time when I had already lost another dog. I fell in love with her the first time I held her at 8 weeks old. She stayed by my side and never let me down. She was 1/2 border collie, so she was very athletic. She would play fetch with a ball or toy, until my arm would fall off. She wanted to serve and love. That was her nature. When I would come home, she would follow me around the house and lay down to watch and make sure I was not alone. Always protecting me from the mail man or anyone who dared to come to the front door. Her bark was strong and loud as she protected. But she always knew when enough was enough and would calm down with my telling her it was alright. She was a strong and beautiful dog. When my sister passed away, she was my comfort and constant care giver. She was strong until the very end, she was diagnosed with cancer in December 2018 and she fought till the end, even walking up the steps to the vet’s office for her final day. I wondered if I did the right thing, even knowing her pain was so bad. But, I am so grateful to God, for allowing me to be there when she took her last breath and held her until the end. God knew she could do no more, and I guess I knew it was time. Cheryl at the HRB is a wonderful caring person and I am so grateful to her and her company for giving me a way to honor my sweet Cowgirl. I will see her again, at Heaven’s Rainbow Bridge when the Lord calls me home…she will be waiting and I know it will be a joyful time. Rest in Best my Dear Pup….I love you and always will.

I lost this handsome guy 6-1-19. He lived to be 15 1/2. Had him from 8 weeks, he was the most loving baby ever, my heart breaks. Until we meet again, your in my heart always n forever❤️
Your mom

I’m 26 and have had Kiara since I was 7 years old. She was an instinctive critter, knew when people were going to do wrong to me and when they were good. I was a mean ass 7 year old and didn’t know any better yet she still would sleep with me at night, every night. She’s been thru every one of my moves and only once had to be away from me for a month due to a domestic situation. She was an intelligent and silly girl. Not fond of other cats but it took a 3rd cat to convince her that the cats weren’t all assholes. She lived a great life once I left my parents. Fed better food. Cozy beds, windows all around, some places had balconies and she’d sleep out in the sun. Her temper was short. But never with me. I could be a little rough with her and she’d still purr and choose to stay around me. I loved her very much.

My Nala was a rescue but I actually think she rescued me. I have had a lot of dogs but she was the best, even when she was young she was so good. She was always happy to see me when I would get home. And she always made me feel special. She was the best travel companion. I never had to worry about her getting out and running away. She was happy where she was. She had a good life until cancer got the best of her at the age of 13. You will be missed my friend…

This family member of ours was by far the best dog, in all ways, that we’ve ever had. He was laid-back, loyal, loving; but it was his spirit that we loved to watch in action, as he was trying to catch a scent while on the hunt for birds. We’ve never seen a dog like Jake. We never lost a bird while we had him. At times, he would bring two birds back in his mouth, and softly drop them at our feet. He was devoted to those who loved him, and he certainly came alive and was at his best when he was hunting.
We were honored to have him as our devoted hunting partner and pet these past 11 years.

For 16+ years you were my best friend, my companion, the love of my life and my fur baby.
From the very first day you reached your tiny little paw through the adoption cage door to your very last breath on the morning of 4/20/19 you have been like a daughter to me.

Helping you cross that Rainbow Bridge was the hardest choice I ever had to make but I know it was the best choice for you.
I know you won’t be in pain anymore and you will be there when I pass one day.

I will miss how you were always at the door meowing and greeting me when I came home.
I’ll miss how you laid on me when I laid on the couch and sat on me when I was at the computer.
I’ll miss everything you did and I will of course miss your loud banshee meows as well.

I love you my sweet baby girl, please rest in peace and I will see you again one day.

Our precious Zurie boy passed this past Tuesday. He was a chocolate cocker spaniel who was loved beyond measure. He came from Missouri so I named him Zurie. There will never be another dog like him!! I miss him so very much. Our home is not the same without him here. Tomorrow we travel to Heaven’s Rainbow Bridge to pick up our boy and bring him home. I am at a loss as I can’t believe I will never see him again here on earth. He loved treats, his fur brother and sisters and our entire family. He had both of his back legs rebuilt with screws and bolts yet he kept on trucking along. I will always remember him running in our field prior to his 1st surgery. He is running in heaven and no longer in pain!
