12-17-2007 11:08 AM -- By: Kevin Mandel , Critters.com memorial: Rex Memorial I went to the link for the you tube. It must have been really hard to put the animal to sleep by himself I know that my sister Maria had to shoot her dog after he got attacked by coyotes and he had to chance to live. But the kid is really smart.
12-16-2007 9:34 PM -- By: Cheri (Coco's Mom), Critters.com memorial: Coco Memorial I received an e-mail with a link that I have to tell everyone about. It's a remarkable phone call from a 12 year old boy to a Houston radio station KSBJ FM 89.3. It is so profound that I hope that everyone will listen to it. The station posted it on their web site. It may make you cry, but the message is so deep. "Out of the mouths of babes...." youtube.com/watch?v=zCdZwitrNoY
12-16-2007 5:48 PM -- By: Kevin Mandel , Critters.com memorial: Rex Memorial Well Rex today you passed but now you are with your sister Stacey and playing with all the other animals. We are all going to miss you

12-15-2007 7:21 PM -- By: Ann, Critters.com memorial: Wor Noops(Snoopy) Memorial Rainbow Bridge is not a tall tale or a figment of someone's imagination. Rainbow Bridge truly is "just this side of Heaven." Our earthly bodies may grow tired and give out but the purest part of us, the part with which you fell in love, never dies. You did not fall in love with our looks nor the way we tilt our head when we listen attentively. You did not fall in love with our big eyes or our quirky little ways. No...you fell in love with our spirit, glorious in all its purity, and the rest was simply an added physical bonus. The part of us that is most important is alive and well at Rainbow Bridge where we wait at Heaven's castle until you join us once more.
12-15-2007 7:09 PM -- By: Connie, Critters.com memorial: T-Bone Memorial Cheri: Well, here it is the 15th......one month since your much love Coco and my fuzzy buddy T-Bone left us. I just wanted you to know that I have been thinking about you and Coco along with T-Bone all day. As promised, I have lit a candle for them both that has gone all day. It is so hard, isn't it, even after a month has gone by. I am having such a hard time adjusting to him not being there just as I am sure you are having the same problems. Just want you to know that I believe that Coco & T-Bone celebrated their 1 month together today with lots of running, playing and snoozing to their hearts' content. I don't doubt that they are wondering why we are still feeling so darned sad with tears every day when they are in such a GREAT place and enjoying everything and wishing that WE could be THERE ! I am sure that you remembered your Coco in a special way today as I did with T-Bone. I will be thinking of you during my prayers tonight.

12-15-2007 6:37 AM -- By: Darlene, Critters.com memorial: Taz Memorial Amber, Ok, I'll admit it, it was me that wrote how wonderful you are. I thought it was so sweet of you & that everyone should know about it. I have to tell you, someone did the same for me when I didn't have the money to kepp Taz's Memorial online & all I know is her name is Jules. This is a very special place, isn't it? Take care, Darlene
12-14-2007 6:51 PM -- By: Amber, Critters.com memorial: Nvwati Memorial aw sweetie thats ok. We are all here for you. Just know that we all feel the same pain and loss and we will help one another through it. Hugs... and try to have a better day tomorrow ok lol.I know I hope to.
12-14-2007 6:43 PM -- By: Cheri (Coco's Mom), Critters.com memorial: Coco Memorial Amber, I have been unable to enter my message on Nvwati's page. It keeps saying "Invalid Security Code". I don't know if anyone else is having this problem. I just wanted to say thank-you for all of your support this past month. I want to thank you for all the kind words you have given me during this past month. You were the first to sign Coco's guest book, the first to show me the kindness that this site offers. I can't believe it's been a month. It's gone by so fast and it still feels like it was yesterday when I had to say "good-bye" to my girl. I hope you are doing well and I will always remember your thoughtfulness, and your beautiful Nvwati.
12-14-2007 4:06 PM -- By: Amber, Critters.com memorial: Nvwati Memorial Ok Ms. Anonymous lol.. it was the least I could do. Someone equally as kind ( Ms. Cindy and ToTo - the gal with the attitude did the same thing for my Nvwati. This is what critters.com is all about.... giving and sharing.
12-14-2007 12:24 PM -- By: , Pet's name: I think everyone should know about the WONDERFUL thing that Amber (Nvwati's Mom) has done....there is a young girl, Maria, who lost her dog Stacey...poor baby wasn't even a year old yet, Maria knew she wouldn't be able to keep the memorial page for her beautiful baby on line forever because "You need money" is what I think she wrote & I felt so bad for Maria because she loved her dog so much & wanted to do something special in her memory. So today when I checked back on Stacey's Memorial page, on the lefthand side this is what I saw: This memorial is sponsored by: With love from Nvwati ( a friend at Rainbow Bridge) THAT just made me cry so hard!! You are a wonderful, caring person Amber....that was so absolutely sweet of you to do that for that little girl.....God Bless You!!
12-14-2007 11:02 AM -- By: Cheri (Coco's Mom), Critters.com memorial: Coco Memorial Since this seems to be starting out as a difficult day, I have been reading all the messages on Coco's guestbook. I want everyone to know how much comfort those messages bring to me. I can't thank everyone enough for their support and understanding. It truly gives me strength to face difficult moments. My love to all of you, dear friends. You hold a special place in my heart.
12-14-2007 9:47 AM -- By: Amber, Critters.com memorial: Nvwati Memorial Roger thanks for this wonderful saying.......... so true too!
12-14-2007 9:44 AM -- By: Amber, Critters.com memorial: Nvwati Memorial Cheri I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could tell you that at some magical moment it doesnt hurt so much but I can't. Its been nice seeing your memorial for Coco grow. take care.
12-14-2007 9:28 AM -- By: Cheri (Coco's Mom), Critters.com memorial: Coco Memorial Tomorrow will be a month since I lost my baby. I can't believe it. It seems like yesterday. I have to face the fact that my life will never be the same. I am thankful for the years I had with her. I was blessed, but I just miss her so much.

12-12-2007 2:33 PM -- By: Sheba, Critters.com memorial: Sheba Memorial Now I'm not one to go around spreading rumors. No, really, I'm just not the gossipy kind. You'll never hear the likes of me repeating gossip. So you'd better be sure to listen close the first time.
I think Dollie and Colby are about to become the new It Couple.
12-12-2007 12:04 PM -- By: Sheba, Critters.com memorial: Sheba Memorial Whoever is "It" in our game of tag, Colby likes to play, so don't forget about him.
12-11-2007 1:55 PM -- By: Carol (Copper's Mom), Critters.com memorial: My Copper Girl Memorial Well, here it is Copper's one year anniversary. I like to think of it as her one year "Birthday" in her new wonderful healthy body...I am so happy for her. I know she is pain free now. I miss her, but I think of her with so very much love and so many smiles. She always went wild when she would see a Balloon or a kite or a Hot Air Balloon. She would race back and forth in her yard barking like crazy and picking up one of her stuffed animals and whip her head back and forth like "This is what I would do If I could get ahold of that thing." So today I got a big Heleium Ballon and sent it off to my Furever Friend. I told her to tell all her friends that it was from her goofy mom. I found a Shooting Star with a rainbow trailer....How cool is that??? I told her to have a Happy Birthday at the Bridge and know that her family is thinking of her and happy for her. It was so cool to see it fly free and disappear up through the clouds. A fitting tribute to my Copper Girl...My Furever Friend.
12-10-2007 8:04 PM -- By: Tracie Lil Joe's Mommy, Critters.com memorial: Lil Joe Memorial I forgot this on the last post, My brain is not all here today.. Sorry.

12-10-2007 6:31 PM -- By: Mayor Ted, Pet's name: Attention Everyone....I hereby declare today December 10th 2007, Lil' Joe's Birthday and in continuing along with his afternoon party which you can read about in the letter he just wrote his Mom and Dad....we're all going on a sleigh ride! Everyone is welcome. We have the pleasure of having Moonbeam and Barbaro pulling our sleigh and their all decked out in Jingle bells. We'll be stopping off for a campfire and toasting marshmallows for the hot chocolate we'll all be enjoying. Dress warmly as there's a chill in the air! Joey is now offically crowned our "King of rock and roll!" (Boy, I love my job! And I love you Mom!)

12-10-2007 4:59 PM -- By: Cheri (Coco's Mom), Critters.com memorial: Coco Memorial Lucy, I'm sorry I can't help you with information on side effects, but I will definitely pray for your sweet girl. I hope she makes a full recovery and you have many, many more years together. God bless both of you during this difficult time.
12-10-2007 4:21 PM -- By: Cheri (Coco's Mom), Critters.com memorial: Coco Memorial Tracie, can you give me the name of the song on Lil Joe's page and who sings it? It's beautiful!
12-10-2007 1:57 PM -- By: Lucy, Pet's name: Alice My dog had limb-sparing surgery for a peripheral nerve sheath tumor on her femoral nerve root. She did very well after surgery, but has to have follow up radiation therapy. I'm frightened about the side effects because the doctors have to radiate so close to her spine and will also have to "nick" her colon with the radiation.
What should I expect in terms of side effects and how long will the acute effects, like nausea, vomiting, last?
12-10-2007 1:46 PM -- By: wicki, Sheba's mom, Critters.com memorial: Sheba Memorial Cheri, I too am so very sorry to hear about your friend's passing. You're in my prayers.
