Thank you to all of the volunteers that helped pull you from the shelter, who transported you, and who were there with you in your final moments. Thank you Atlanta Pet Rescue.

Not until I experienced rescue was I able to fully comprehend the meaning of tortured souls. All of us. All of them. Wegman didn’t deserve to end up this way.

God bless you, Wegman. We will see you on the other side, sweet boy.

In loving memory of Sawyer….a true joy that came quickly into and out of our lives, but made a lasting impression. He had a special spirit about him that captured the hearts of all. He taught us a deeper meaning of love and compassion, responsibility and caring. For that we are grateful. Through the good days and the bad, he always had a sparkle in those sweet amber eyes and a wagging tail. He was happy, we were happy and we’re going to miss our “Soybean”.

Thanks to all who worked so hard to save him. He had a support group that spanned many miles, and he couldn’t have been more loved.

See you on the other side sweet pea.

We will all miss you, sweet boy…bless you.  Rest in peace…

See you on the other side, sweet girl.

I explained it to St. Peter,

I’d rather stay here

Outside the pearly gate.

I won’t be a nuisance,

I won’t even bark, I’ll be very patient and wait,

I’ll be here, chewing on a celestial bone,

No matter how long you may be.

I’d miss you so much, if I went in alone,

It wouldn’t be heaven for me.

See you on the other side…my dearest friend….I know you will be waiting for me….Susan

I moved to Denver right out of college and knew not a soul. A few months after moving there I saw Bella in a puppy store and couldn’t leave the store without her. Bella was my best pal through some very rough times in my life…it was just the two of us. I got her when she was 6 weeks old and lived with her in Denver CO until she was 9. When I moved here to Atlanta I let my parents take care of her until I got settled so that she wouldn’t have to endure the stress of moving. My parents have 2 other Weimies so she fit in very well…so well that I decided to let her stay in FL with them as my mother was home all day and their little boy Bo and Bella became best friends. I couldn’t take her away from the life she had now formed with them. She loved life…especially rolling in anything that smelled rotten or decayed (I know…just lovely). She loved our hikes in the Rocky Mountains and our runs on the trails in the open space around the house. Her favorite was red licorice and in a close second came peanut butter. She loved her car rides and rolling in dying grass as it scratched her back oh so nicely! Bella was loved and lived a very happy life. She will be greatly missed!

Sweet Bella, we will see you on the other side….

We will all see you on the other side, sweet boy…

Do not stand at my grave and weep -

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow;

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn’s rain.

When you wake in the morning’s hush

I am the swift, uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight,

I am the star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there. I did not die.

In memory of Sampson who passed over the Rainbow Bridge 11/29/07.

Thank you to Lacy and her family, and Amy and David for giving Sampson a chance at a wonderful, happy life. We will all miss you, sweet boy.

A tribute to Sampson from Lacy, Jesse and Family:

First of all we would like to thank all of those who helped in the transportation and care of Sampson…you could never be thanked enough. It is truly amazing to find people who care so much about dog’s. Sometimes you think that no one could understand the love we have for these animals. Frankly, sometimes I have a hard time believing I could love a “non-human” so much. I told my wife Lacy about two years ago, when she and her parents lost their Irish Wolfhound, Magic, that you can learn so much from these animals. I told her that I believe God intended these animals to be much more than predators . I said “In life there is death, we will all do it someday, and God gave us these wonderful animals to understand grief, and understand grace.” It’s very hard to understand how we could deal with such a loss as a loved one, a husband, a wife, a son, a daughter… a dog. We aren’t meant to understand it now, there is no need to understand it, but when it happens we’re given the grace to heal and trust that we will be fine, eventually. We are not given the grace to understand death before hand, but we are given the grace to deal with grief when our loved ones and loved pets die. This said, we grieve and remember the good things and the bad. Sampson loved pooping on our floor, I believe it was enjoyable to him, and we learned patience from this, he, in time, learned to do it outside, and we praised him like he had won an Oscar. But now I would give my left hand to have a nice warm clump of Sampson poop on the floor. He was a great dog, the sweetest eyes and every once in a while, if you looked fast before he realized you were looking, you could catch him smiling. I know he was a happy boy under our care as well as Amy’s. and I feel content knowing that the last four or so months of his life he was as happy as he had ever been. We loved him, and we know that others did as well, And couldn’t thank the rescue enough for giving us the chance to adopt such a wonderful guy. His last night I lied my head on his and told lacy, I think I really do love him, I was glad he heard me before he went to heaven. Thanks again for the chance to own such a wonderful dog, we learned a lot from him. We will stay in touch, and will definitely join the club and donate when we can. Sincerely, Jesse and Lacy Yates.

In memory of Champ who passed over the Rainbow Bridge on 11/12/07.
