A big thank you for all of the thoughtful people who have written in Bailey's guestbook over the last four months. I really appreciate it, through your support the pain has somewhat eased and now I cherish all the memories I have of my precious furbaby. This has been a very traumatic year for me and my daughters but with support from friends and family we have made it through yet another year. I hope everyone finds some peace and hope in the new year. I would also like to extend a holiday greeting to Marc and Sharon who I gratefully thank for having created such a wonderful site! A bigg hug to all of you.

12-24-2007 4:10 AM -- By: Sharon, Critters.com memorial: BARNEY Memorial Happy Christmas Eve to all the furkids Mummy's and Daddy's that are missing their little one's really bad this time of year. I heard this beautiful song yesterday "Wintersong" by Sarah McLachlan, it made me cry in the music shop and all I could see was was Barney. I've uploaded it to Barney's Christmas pages, I'd like to dedicate this song for Christmas to all of our furkids, if you would like to have a listen just visit Barney and his Christmas page barneybee.critters.com It is exactly how I feel at the moment and I am sure many of you can relate to this song.
I hope you all have a happy and blessed Christmas, for many of us the first without our little ones. I know from reading all your beautiful tributes that although we might be smiling on the outside, this Christmas there is a sadness and longing that just won't go away, Merry Christmas beautiful kind hearted people, Merry Christmas heavenly furkids, the brightest stars in the Christmas Eve sky. Words cannot describe how much we miss and love you all. Thankyou for everyone's support. Love Sharon - Barney's Mummy Australia
12-24-2007 12:15 AM -- By: Carole, Critters.com memorial: Ebony Memorial I am so thankful for each new morning I wake up, for shelter, for health and food, for love and friends, for everything God has so generously blessed me with. I am thankful for all the friends I've met through the loss of our dear pets...those who have supported me through one of the most difficult times in my life...losing my precious angel Ebony. My gratitude to you goes far beyond what I can say in words alone. Thank you for honoring her and leaving wonderful condolences in her tribute. It means so much to me every time I see a new entry. I am especially thankful that I had Ebony in my life for 11 1/2 marvelous years, and how my life changed the day I rescued her. She is my "angel".
May your new year bring you all peace, joy and most of all renewed faith and happiness. My heart is with each and every one of you here, as you walk through your own paths of grief, and I will remember you in my prayers. Thank you...thank you all so very much!
Please remember, if you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If YOU want to be happy, practice compassion. How far you go in life depends on your being "tender with the young", "compassionate with the aged", "sympathetic with the striving" and "tolerant of the weak and strong", because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
Today let's pause, to reflect upon our wonderful pets who have helped to shape our character and touched our hearts in such a special way. The future will always hold the memories we have shared with our precious babies, and the everlasting impact they've made in our lives...even after they've gone on without us.
Please...please also remember to be respectful and compassionate to everyone here that has joined the "Critters Family". We have all lost someone very special to us. We are all here for the same reason...sharing our loved pet's stories and reaching out for support.
Warmest season greetings to you all. Love Carole and Ebony

12-23-2007 10:14 PM -- By: Richard, Critters.com memorial: Dollie Memorial Merry Christmas.
I've been blessed by much in my life. So very much. But penning my thought and feelings into words, well, that's a gift that's eluded me. Besides that, mere words couldn't begin to convey my gratitude and thankfulness to each and every person that has honored the life of my little gurl, Dollie. But please know that I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. May the coming new year find your burdens lightened, your spirits lifted, and your hope renewed. I love you all, each and every one of you, in Jesus Christ and because of Him. Richard Cothran..;)

12-23-2007 9:03 AM -- By: Amber, Critters.com memorial: Nvwati Memorial Oh Pam I am so sorry that you lost your sweet Sade and so close to Christmas as well. I too lost my Nvwati only this year, actually just a few months ago and it sure doesn't feel like Christmas around here this year. Take care.
12-23-2007 7:01 AM -- By: Pam, Critters.com memorial: Sade Memorial Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of the pet lovers. Please keep my family in your prayers.

12-23-2007 4:11 AM -- By: Ann, Critters.com memorial: Wor Noops(Snoopy) Memorial FOR ALL MY GRIEVING FRIENDS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO HAVE BABIES AT RAINBOW BRIDGE.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Please be with all my friends and their families here this Christmas time, who are struggling with the loss of their loved ones. Please give them comfort, assure them that their loved ones are always near them. Even though they are no longer in physical form, they are still involved in their lives. Let my friends know that they are never alone.
Assure them that those who have passed on before us are never that far away. Our loved ones are near: they watch over us, they protect us, they still love us.
Oh Lord, assure my grieving friends that the love bonds we form in this life continue on the other side. Those we love are near, just out of view. They are guiding us, helping us to not be so lonely, depressed, or lost. We are never alone.
Let my friends and their families know that they can still talk to their beloved critter family member. That they do hear them. I pray that my friends find comfort in knowing that death is not the end, but a beginning of a new and exciting life, full of wonder and wisdom. And that one fine day…they will be reunited at the Bridge.
Be with my friends, Lord. Give them peace and ease their pain. Let Your love overwhelm them, heal them and strengthen them. Envelope them with your magnificent wings and heal their broken hearts.
Bless them, Lord, and when they are ready, in their own time, bring joy back in to their lives with another fur baby. Assure them, though hard to believe now, there will, once again, be joy.
With love to each and every one of you, here and at the Bridge, Amen
WISHING EVERYONE ON CRITTERS.COM A PEACEFUL CHRISTMAS, FULL OF BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. MY LOVE TO YOU ALL ALWAYS XXX
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY BELOVED BOY NOOPS, WHO IS SPENDING HIS SECOND CHRISTMAS AT RAINBOW BRIDGE. I LOVE YOU XXX

12-22-2007 5:35 PM -- By: Cheri (Coco's Mom), Critters.com memorial: Coco Memorial I just came across one of Coco's "hidden" milk bones. Oh, the pain in my heart! I miss her so much! It's like ripping open a very painful wound. Please pray for me.

I know it won't be easy for any of us, but with each other's support, we'll somehow get thru it...

12-21-2007 3:21 PM -- By: Steve, Critters.com memorial: Jayde Cheree Snow Princess Memorial Merry Christmas to everyone. Thanks so much for all the comments to Jayde's memorial. It makes me feel so much better. Christmas time seems so much different without my Jayde. I got a new puppy who happens to be Jayde's grand nephew. I couldn't believe that I stumbled onto a puppy and he was that close relation to Jayde. In fact when i was at the breeder Jayde's sister was there. It is truly a small world
12-21-2007 9:54 AM -- By: Richard & Dollie, Critters.com memorial: Dollie Memorial I found a little video of my lil' gurl, Dollie, and I have it posted on her "Poems, Prayers, And Letters" page. It's really grainy and blurred and some might think it's not much. Well, to see her move, to me, it's everything. We want everyone to know how very special each and every one of you are to Dollie and me. Your support, love, and friendship is invaluable to us and we love you all from the bottom of our hearts. Richard & Dot..;)

12-19-2007 6:01 PM -- By: Amber, Critters.com memorial: Nvwati Memorial Well I took Yukon and Mkwaa out to the pet store today to get their dog food for the month and picked up a huge box of Milkbones for them and a few little treats from Santa. I don't have a tree up this year. Just couldnt do it having just lost my beloved Nvwati so recently, so this year will be a bit different. I always prepare a turkey and a ham and bring food out to the homeless so this is one custom I will continue to do this year. Its quite a site - me on my scooter with a wagon attached filled with individual meals all wrapped up and covered with a warm blanket to keep the meals warm..... with two dogs running beside me. ..but as far as a tree and gifts etc. its not happening this year.

Thank you to all who have visited my baby boy Taz....he always loved lots of attention and he will always be missed during the holidays & always!!!
