![]() Monty |
We lost our Monty suddenly to cancer in November. He was my buddy for 12 years.... he loved wrestling with Jake (our English Setter), swimming, rolling in the snow and playing hide and seek with our children. He was there through all our moves and kept me company as our children left the nest. Our family will miss him very much. The McDonald's ...Nov 2008 |
![]() Angel |
Angel was the perfect name for her. She was in charge of the house, and ran a tight ship. She was very possessive of me and didn't want to share. I really am missing her, but so grateful for the time I got to spend with her. When you wake up in the morning
a bit stiff with minor aches and pains, and then watch her dance around with the others with that tumor, like it was made of cotton, you realize your little aches are non-existent. Jamie ....March 2009 |

![]() Patrick |
We lost our beloved Patrick in December, 2008, of cancer. Fortunately, it was quick, and he never appeared to suffer too much. It seems to me that too many Goldens go this way. Hopefully, someday there might appear a solution to reduce these occurrences. Patrick was only 8, but led a full life. Since I have been retired 8 years, Patrick and I were constant buddies. He loved the outdoors - especially the beach, a local golf course after hours, trips to the mountains, and long walks through our neighborhood. He would find golf balls and I put them in a bowl "compliments of Patrick" for our golfing friends. He had 100's of friends who remembered his name as we walked, and had no idea who I was. "Patrick's dad, I guess! He loved people, and was loved in return. We are missing him dearly, but have wonderful memories and are looking forward to meeting again at the Rainbow Bridge.

We lost our beautiful baby Lincoln to Canine Distemper. Sadly, he had been infected at the pet store where we bought him. We had him for a month and two weeks, and in that month he gave us so much unconditional love, as we did in return. We did everything possible to keep Lincoln alive and healthy, but the virus took over him. He had so much life, and even though he was sick, he would still manage to get up and play with us. No matter where we went, he would follow, and he would always wag his tail. He was not the average puppy because of his illness, but no one could ever tell. His fight for life made us realize the important things in life. He touched so many lives and he left us his wonderful spirit. He will always be in our hearts and memory. Griffey our 15 year yellow lab has also crossed the rainbow bridge, we want you both to know that we love you very much, always and forever. |

![]() Ranger |
Though we only had Ranger a brief time, he quickly became an important part of our life, learning to swim, enjoying the pool and beach, and being my constant shadow... we will miss you sweet boy! The McDonald's |
![]() Muffin |
Our Little Girl Muffin, who we hoped would live 2 weeks when she hobbled out of Miami-Dade, managed to make us smile for almost 2 years...she deserves to rest in peace. Bob & Lisa December 2009 |

![]() Chaos snuggling with Muffin |
Well, our "Old Man" crossed over. He was our first rescued dog. He got us started....hundreds of rescued dogs later he has left us. We will never forget his amazing smile. He always listened to the "secrets" we whispered in his ear. We knew he knew all the answers! We hope he and Muffin are back to snuggling together! We will miss you! Bob & Lisa | |||||||||||||||||
