but not from our hearts. |

The Rainbow Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown |

The Last Battle If it should be that I grow frail and weak And pain should keep me from my sleep, Then will you do what must be done, For this -- the last battle -- can't be won. You will be sad I understand, But don't let grief then stay your hand, For on this day, more than the rest, Your love and friendship must stand the test. We have had such a happy year, You wouldn't want me to suffer so. When the time comes, please, let me go. Take me to where to my needs they'll tend, Only, stay with me till the end And hold me firm and speak to me Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree It is a kindness you do to me. Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I have been saved. Don't grieve that it must be you Who has to decide this thing to do; We've been so close -- we two -- this year, Don't let your heart hold any tears. -- Unknown Author |

December 1990 – April 12, 2006 
To all of the doctors and staff at McPhillips Animal Hospital, thank you for the wonderful care you gave our Leroy over the years. Thank you for helping us to end his suffering with the dignity that he deserved, and thank you for the flowers and your kind words. It takes very special people to do what you do. You do it well, and we truly appreciate all of you. Despite his hisses, growls, scratches and bites, we know that Leroy appreciated your tender care as well. He enjoyed a longer life and better health because of you. Leroy was such a special cat. We had the privilege and pleasure of his company for over fifteen years and we will miss him dearly. Thank you for your dedication and caring for your human clients and your animal patients. Diane & Sid Prokipchuk |

Minnie June 28, 1995 - November 13, 2006 
Years have passed since we first got you. You lit up our lives like no one else could. Your cute little whimper, your playful little ways were sure to get attention no matter what the day. I love you so much. I knew it from the first day I laid eyes on you. With your unconditional love, you showed me the way to a life of more meaning, a life of better days. Your love and friendship always made me smile. As you patiently waited at the window until I came home and greeted me with such love, never venturing far from my side. Thank you for all the wonderful years we had together. I hope we made the right choice for you sweetheart. I do not know what I will do without you my little angel, You tried to fight your illness, I tried to help. I could not do enough. I feel so guilty. Your sweet happy eyes turned to pain; the drugs took away your happy disposition. I will miss you every hour of every day. I always will; even though you are in a better place. I know there you will wait until the day we meet again. You are my breath and the beat of my heart. I LOVE YOU MINNIE MY LITTLE GOLDEN ANGEL Written by: Christina Long November 22, 2006

My Tail of Devotion….. Clover, you came to me in a dream...a little furry ball with the biggest eyes. You were so small you could sit in one hand...you would lay on your back in my lap with your little paws curled up and sleep for hours. I was alone...and so were you.... what a lovely pair we made! Well, at least Daddy thought so! He was fast to learn "love me...love Clover"...we came as a pair. Do you remember the first supper date we had at Daddy's? You little stinker! You ate the left overs (without us seeing you of course)...and made messes all over the house! Hmm.... good thing he liked us heh?! The years seem to have passed so fast; it is hard to believe it was almost 18 years. In those 18 years, we were rarely apart. When I was sad, you would come up on my lap, and gently kiss my tears...put your little head on my shoulder and sigh. You love was enough to take away all my sorrows. You were so cuddly....and would lay in my arms like a wee baby for hours. We lived in three different homes, and two cabins. You were there for every nail and board as Daddy and I built our dream cabin at the lake. You knew the routine so well....every Friday you would nearly turn yourself inside out with excitement as we loaded up the truck to go to the lake (as though we would ever leave you! BOL!) The lake was your favourite place....all the silly squirrels...and that stinky stinky skunk! You loved your place in the sun at the cabin - on the cushy futon with all the pillows....in front of the wood stove....THE best place in the whole world. I watched your every move... never did you leave my sight...until now. My heart will forever dance for you. Love Mummy.... |

Harley..... Hogboy April 2, 1999 - January 23, 2007 
You only gave me a few days to say goodbye, and I knew that I had to let you go. You were too young to leave me. I have a hole in my heart where you used to be and I wished I could have done more to keep you here with us a little longer. You helped me start Winnipeg Boxer Rescue and saved many boxers from unhappy lives. You showed patience and tolerance to all the fosters mommy needed to care for. Your legacy will live on through every boxer we rescue. Words can't explain the loss we feel without you here. Your presence was unmistakable and proud. Your one ear up gave you a character like no other. There will never be another quite like you again. You were and always will be "mommies big boy"..... "the light of my life"! I know you can run free without any pain now. Gracie and I will see you someday. I love and miss you "HogBoy". From Tracy, Gracie and Angel |
