BUCK
1996 - 2005

My friend Buck, I recall
The times we had and they’re hanging on my wall
I wouldn’t trade them for gold
Because they make me laugh and they make me cry

All the times, the running and ball chasing,
The licks and the bear hugs and the people and the places
You were always there by my side
And I miss you beyond belief

And my old friend, I apologize
For not being around to say goodbye
You left us too soon, and this is my way
Of telling the tale that you were here and
That the love and the laughter will live long after
All the sadness and the tears

And we’ll meet again, my old friend.
Until then…

-Tracey

In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Friend Attika
January 3, 1997 - May 19, 2005

We thought of you with love today,
If love could have saved you,
You never would have passed away.

Your family is sad and broken-hearted,
And nothing seems the same,
But your sweet memory will not depart,
because you've left paw prints on our hearts.

Love and miss you always,
Dad, Mom, and family

In Loving Memory of Jasmine

MURPHY 1990-2006
In Loving Memory

Murphy, you were my precious pet for almost 16 years, how do I say good-bye to that kind of love.
You gave so much and asked for so little in return. When you died, part of me died with you.
The pain of losing you was so intense that I never knew such pain in my life. Your last weeks were tremendously difficult as I watched you cope with your cancer and I struggled with the question of doing what was best for you. In the end you saved your best gift to me till the end by taking that decision out of my hands.
But even if I had known how intense the pain would be to lose you, I would never have chosen to miss that pain because to miss that pain, I would have had to miss the dance we shared for almost 16 years.

Thank you Murphy for the best dance of my life.

Till we meet again at Rainbow Bridge my MurphyDoodle.

Love, Mommy

Max 1991 – 2006

You’ll always be my Main Man my dear Max.
You came into my life from a farmer’s field in Morris
and brought pure happiness and joy into my life.

We shared many great adventures together from Ontario through to B.C.  Your love of life was infectious.  You won everyone’s heart, and will be sadly, greatly missed by all.

I’ll love you forever, thank you for being my friend and guardian angel,

Love, Brenda

TASHA 1987 – 2007

My precious princess Tasha.  You’re together again with your buddy Max, running and playing.
You looked after both Max and me, teaching us many lessons.  You were the best friend and protector I could have.
You loved exploring and the outdoors.  I shall miss your bossing me around, letting me know when it was time for walks, dinner, or just attention.  You were gentle, loving, incredibly intelligent and independent.
I shall love you forever, and miss you immensely.

Love, Brenda

IN LOVING MEMORY OF ZEB Our 9 ½ Year Old GENTLE GIANT

ZEB was more than just a pet. He was our best friend and a role model. We adopted ZEB from the Humane Society as a 3-month–old abused puppy – his coat was tattered and scruffy-looking and he had horrible scars on his mouth. He had suffered from malnutrition and had a bad odor about him.

In time, with Lots of Love and Care, ZEB grew into a beautiful and majestic-looking King Shepherd cross of about 105 lbs. Both people and pets we encountered on our daily walks loved ZEB. He was always Playful, Friendly, Gentle and he Loved LIFE.

As a role model, he was the Ambassador of Goodwill, welcoming all to his ‘Field’

ZEB taught us how to get along with others and their pets by his example. From watching ZEB, you would learn tolerance of others even if some didn’t seem caring.

ZEB was a quiet boy who rarely barked. ZEB was a gentle and passionate dog who will be painfully missed. When ZEB left us suddenly, he took a large chunk of our life with him …

We LOVE you ZEB and look forward to meeting you again in the next LIFE! Rest in Peace Your Dad and Mom Ken and Val Waldbauer

TRIBUTE TO OUR ZACK
1994 to 2007

ZACK was a best little friend to ZEB and to all of us in his family. ZACK was just under 10 lbs and ZEB was 105 lbs! He was frisky, mischievous and sweet.

Until May 2007 three buddies included ZACK, his older brother ZEKE, and ZEB. ZACK left us in May and ZEB left us in June.

Watching ZACK and ZEB play was magic – ZACK on his hind legs mock-slapping ZEB’s big face was a rib-splitter. ZEB chased ZACK, licked his little head till it was very wet, and all the while, ZEKE lay lazily by just watching through half-closed dreamy eyes. Then they would all lay down for a long nap till the next round.

We miss you ZACK but know you are in a good safe place with ZEB now looking after you once more!

Our Love Always, Val and Ken Waldbauer
