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 our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine. Our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who have been ill and were old have been 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 gone by. The animals are happy except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who has been 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. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted and when you and your special friend 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. You can then cross the Rainbow Bridge together. Author Unknown

I first met Mousee when I was four years old. My parents and I had just moved into an appartment complex in Arizona after moving from New Jersey. Our neighbor at the time had a little kitten which she had rescued from a restaurant where young boys where beating on her. They had cut her right ear and badly bruised her nose. She was so tiny she fit in the palm of my hand, with big green eyes, and a beautiful tan and white coat. I fell in love with her each and everyday I had spent with her, and eventually I named her Mousee. My neighbor had asked my mother if we wanted Mousee and I begged and pleaded for my parents to say yes, and they did. From that day on my life changed. Mousee and I had so much fun together growing up. We played mommy kitty and baby kitty and I was always the mommy protecting my kitten. Through those little games I learned how to love, protect, and care for my baby. As the years passed, time was changing and my family and I had found ourselves moving back to New Jersey. During that period of time it felt like the end of the world to me, but Mousee stayed by my side. She layed with me numerous times looking me in the eye and watching me cry, but my tears were always wiped away by her little paw stroking my face. Over time she had become my best friend. To be honest she was the only "solid" friend I had, who I knew wasn't going to leave me hanging. Not only was she there for me through all the tough times, but she was there for my parents also. When my mom had been diagnosed with breast cancer twice she was right there by her side keeping watch over her. When my dad had all his heart problems and his knee surgery, there she was right next to him watching over. She was there through everything, the good and the bad. She was our little angel. To my baby, my best friend, my little angel I love and miss you like crazy. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. The house seems so empty without you, but I feel you here all around me. I know you're in Heaven watching over grandma, grandpa and me. I also know that God has given you the prettiest wings because you had the biggest heart. I love you so much baby girl, rest in Heaven.

Just two days old and born in a garbage dump, I loved you since the first day I met you. You have become a piece of my heart and now that you are gone, my heart is not complete anymore. Watching you fade has been the hardest thing I have ever done. I really don't remember my life without you in it. I will miss so many things about you-your big flappy armpits, your beautiful face, the way you would look me in my eyes whenever I had to talk and you were the only one there, the way you would take your paw and touch my cheek when I had tears flowing down, your deep little meow, how we would share some iced tea- I can go on and on but you knew how I felt about you, and I know how you felt about me. I told you all the time how I loved you more than anything and you would just slowly close your eyes and you seemed to smile. I hope wherever you are you can finally meet your Uncle David. He loved cats too, so I am sure he will take good care of you until I get there. You are my sweet, handsome boy, full of dignity to the very end and I will miss you dearly every single day.   Pain has an element of blank; It cannot recollect When it begun, or if there were A day when it was not. -Emily Dickinson

I met Bear a little over 9 years ago when he was at a shelter in Newark and about to be euthanaized. At that time his name was already Bear so we decided to keep it because he truly is a big lovable bear. He was one of the most loyal dogs I have ever met and I consider myself so lucky to have him in my life for as long as I did. Bear is the one who brought my husband and I together 9 years ago allowing us to have a beautiful family. Words just can not express what a great dog he has been especially with our new daughter Addison. He just adored her. I know in my heart we did everything possible to keep Bear happy right until the end. A special thanks to Dr. Conway for keeping Bear alive that final week until it was time to say goodbye. I know now that he is resting in peace with his brothers Rocky & Miller and that they are all watching over us right now.   Bear if you only knew how much we miss you. We love you Bear NOW, ALWAYS & FOREVER!!! Until we meet again your memories will always be with us. Love, Pat, Marie, Addison, Harley, Sabrina & Daisy Devcich

"Willy Estrada" April 5, 1994-May 9, 2007

A couples of years ago a white poodle arrived at our house.  He was a small and beautiful dog.  Our lives have changed since the time he arrived.  We called him Willy Estrada.  He went to school where he trained well and graduated from school as a smart dog with a nice personality. Willy learned to be my copilot and my best friend.  He flew with me many hours and the people at the airport got to know him as the special dog who flew with his sunglasses, gold neck chain and leather jacket specially made for him. Not only did he bring happy times to my passengers, he also had a beautiful time at home where he had a wife named Nieves and a son called Bambam.  He also had two other children Nico and Sparkly. Bambam and Willy had the most wonderful time playing together. Now God called Willy to stay in heaven with Him. Willy, we know you are in a better place and God will take care of you now. We will love you forever.

"Samson, or Bubba", as he was lovingly known, crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on Monday, April 23, 2007 at the age of 8 1/2 years young. We called him "Bubba" because that is what he was. A big BUBBA. He cried when he saw kids outside playing because he wanted to go play too! He would watch our grand daughter like a hawk, and come give you that look to let you know she was up to something. His  favorite toy was a rubber CAT ball with a jingle bell in it. He even brought it with him when we went on vacation. He would chase that ball  around for hours on end and could find it buried under a foot of snow. He loved  to sleep in bed with Daddy and sometime push Mommy out of the way so he could stretch. Mommy sometimes wound up on the floor, and he would go to her and lick her face with that little pink tounge as if he was saying "I'm sorry". He was always a gentleman and would let his doggie mommy "Dallas" go out of the door first. He loved his trips to the park with Niki and sleeping late with Ali, and Amber's long fingernails, WOW, he loved them. When we told him Pop was coming, he would sit on the couch looking out of the window and run to the door when the car pulled up, knowing that Pop always had special treats. Most people would see him and instantly be afraid, you see, Sam was a Rottweiler, so along came the reputation of that big mean dog. When people would ask if he's friendly, we would smile and instantly say, "He's a Bubba, stay away only if you don't want your face licked." Bubba was diagnosed in June 2005 with Congestive Heart Failure and we were told he would probably only make it a year. Thankfully we had almost 2 precious years with him. Words cannot express how devastated we feel, but knowing he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge surrounded by love, not just by our family, but by the members of Bricktown Veterinary Hospital means so much to us.

Rocky 4/1/00-3/7/07

Our house has been a very quiet place since the day we came home without our beloved Rocky. I miss waking up in the morning to his beautiful face staring out the window. Rocky bounced from home to home until he came to us finding his place within our pack. Rocky took over the pack as he loved, cared and protected each and every one of us. He became ill very quickly and unfortunately there was not much we could do to save him. Memories of Rocky will be with us for a lifetime as  well as his spirit. As a member of our family, he will always have his own special place in our hearts. Rocky, you have gone to see your brother Miller over the Rainbow Bridge now and may you rest in peace until we meet again. Special thanks to Dr. Conway and Dr. Buist as well as the rest of the staff for trying all they did to make Rocky come home again. With all our Love, Pat, Marie, Bear, Harley & Sabrina

Crossed over the Rainbow Bridge January 1, 2007 From the day Miller entered our home 8 months ago, he fit into our family like a missing puzzle piece. He was a sweet, loving teddy bear with personality and class; except when it came to pushing open doors, when i did not make his food fast enough for him or when his furry brothers and sisters tried to steal his nylabones. Miller endured many medical issues but always stayed happy and strong. Words just can not explain the sadness that our family feels since returning home without our beloved Miller on New Years Day. We will miss you dearly Miller. Thank You to all the special doctors, technicians and receptionists at Brick Town Veterinary Hospital for all the love, care and support we have received during this very difficult time. Pat, Marie, Bear, Harley, Rocky & Sabrina Devcich

LOVED BY ALL, LOVED ALL See you at the Bridge Daisy. Love Mom, Dad & Cleo 10/23/98-11/16/06

Dear Taj, We are all so sorry that you had to take an early trip to Heaven. Curiosity got the best of you when you saw that open sliding glass door. You were confused when you couldn't get back up to the deck and you decided to go on an adventure. We were all so worried about you being out on your own but we thought someone would find you and call the number on your collar. We all prayed every night for your safe return. When too many days passed we put up posters hoping that someone would turn you in for a nice reward. Regretfully, you tried to cross a busy street and did not make it across. Your soul went to Heaven then David received a phone call from an Angel letting him know what happened to you. We know that you did not suffer. We came right away and picked you up. You got the VIP treatment at the veterinary clinic on Sunday night. We will get to keep a reminder of you in our homes. Jake and Lucy miss playing with you and David misses feeding you Boars Head Virginia Ham. We know you are in Heaven now with Keith's dad. He always liked to pet you. You are now playing hockey with your toy mice and scratching on the leather love seat. We all love you and will see you someday in Heaven. Love always, David, Keith, Veronica, Jake and Lucy

Snowball January 1999 to July 2006

My Snow, My Pal, My Love, My Little Guy With A Big Heart. He was the Alpha Dog, a spitfire weighing in at 10 pounds. He ruled the pack of four who shared with him our home. He came to us as a rescue at the age of 3 and was diagnosed with heart disease 2 years later. Although he was with us a very short time, he has left a void in our hearts that will never be filled by any other. We will miss this fragile White Silky Boy who loved us unconditionally and gave us great joy. Take charge my love of your new pack; Alphie, Courtney, Mac Gregor, Chocolat, Miss Daisy, Leigha, Blaise and good old Kippy. I believe in the Rainbow Bridge and hope to see you leading them across its expanse when I come to get you. Patty

Crossed over the Rainbow Bridge June 21,2006 Our memories of the ten years of Joy & Love you gave to us was our gift from God. We will always love you and miss you. Mommy Louise & Daddy Bobby

Snookums

Dear Snookums (AKA "Snookie" and "Lady"),  We all miss you here.  We had you from a tiny puppy for 7 and a half years and watched you turn into our "Gentle Giant".  I've never seen a dog so meek and mild, and so sweet hearted.  I'm sorry for any pain you suffered, but I hope you know the choices we made for you were in your best interest.  I felt you would have a much better life with Jesus, full of life and free of pain.  We all miss you, even Winter, Wolfgang, and your best friend Mocha. Be at Peace.  We will always think of you.  Love Always.  Alicia Burns

For many years my dalmation Perdy was lovingly cared for by BTVH.  Sadly, on November 26, 2005 she fell gently asleep.  She is waiting for Tawny and me at the Rainbow Bridge.  My thanks go to Dr. DiAngelis and the BTVH staff for seeing Perdy through her virus, bladder stones, sliding glass door accident, and finally the cancer that riddled her body. Goodbye to Perdy, the most beautiful dalmation and wonderful friend.  I miss her so. Dorothea Smith

Perdy

In Memory of our Greyhound Hannah Our beautiful, nine-year old Hannah was quite a friend. When we originally brought her home, our grown son commented that she was the most beautiful dog he'd ever seen. Husband and I agreed. Her fur was soft and sleek and she had a trim, fit body. She'd been a return to the adopting person so she'd been off a race track for awhile. She became comfortable quickly. She ran a ring around our back yard and loved to lie in an area under the large oak tree. She challenged every squirrel and bird she saw and made the yard her complete, personal area. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. When I found her not feeling well after work one day, I had no idea she would succumb to whatever it was. We are all saddened. She will never be forgotten.

Dandy

My Golden Retriever Dandy passed away this year from Liver Cancer. Even as a Veterinary Technician, I found it very hard to cope with the loss. I have learned to gain strength from her memories, and the life we shared. Dandy was a loving friend, who was friendly to everyone, and all animals. She will always be a part of our memories, and has influenced part of my life.   Scott DiIorio

Isabelle Erlandsen, beloved canine companion of Patty, passed away on June 2, 2005. She will be remembered in the heart of her owner and the staff at Bricktown Veterinary Hospital. Isabelle was a sweet and friendly canine friend. Dr. Conway took care of Isabelle at the hospital.   Patty

Harry

Harry went to the Rainbow Bridge on 5/19/05 at 10:30am. He was adopted from the Ocean County Animal Shelter (at their offsite location, Petsmart in Lakewood) 8 years ago, and was about 7-8 years old when I adopted him. Coincidentally, I was a volunteer for the shelter at the time, and would help with adoptions and cleaning cages. I went to Petsmart one Sunday morning, to get ready for adoptions, and saw a new cat available for a adoption; a very handsome tuxedo male cat who was named Harry. As soon as he saw me, he put on quite a show, and I knew I had to take him home. I returned to Petsmart a few days later, with cat carrier in hand, and the rest is history... Harry loved to eat, play with the other cats in the house, and sunbathe on the window sill or near the sliding glass door. Most of all, he loved to be around people. Harry was a friendly, happy, loveable cat who maintained his pleasant demeanor right to the very end. Loved by everyone who met him, he will be missed. Goodbye, big brother. Your dad misses you. Someday, we will be together again... Warren K. Harrison
