In Loving Memory of Magoo

Jan 1997- May 12, 2008

Magoo came into our lives the winter of 2004. I received a call from a gentleman promising me that “I have a dog for you!” Magoo was the victim of a divorce, and really needed a new place to live… I called my friend Shelly, and together Emily(my daughter) Shelly, and myself took the thruway to exit 44 to meet this dog named Magoo. The first memory I have of Magoo is his precious little head popping up over the dashboard to see us. As he ran out of the car to us, we all knew that this was love at first site, for us, and for Goo. …His funny antics included, playing bull, bouncing like tigger with Rhoda, running 80 miles an hour when he heard the treat jar, singing on the stairs with Rhoda, and his never ending love for food…(steak, hotdogs, cheeseburgers and mcnuggets) In April he was diagnosed with mast cell cancer. Unfortunately there really was nothing we could do, due to the location and how quickly it had spread. Magoo passed peacefully with his family holding him, loving him, and telling him what a good boy he is. Here’s to you my dear Goo, thank you for entering our home, and our lives. We feel honored and privileged to have you be part of our family. You will be forever remembered in our hearts. Thanks for watching night turn to day with me…those truly were special mornings.., Good-bye Big Guy.

Love, Nancy, Joe, Joey, Emily and Rhoda xoxoxox

In loving memory of Gunner

We adopted Gunner from ABC Rescue in 2003. Gunner was 3 years old and we were going to be his third home. His first owner was going to "Shoot" him, so a neighbor took Gunner in. The second owner eventually gave up Gunner for adoption to ABC Rescue. We adopted Gunner and unfortunately we were only "Blessed" with his "Loyalty and Companionship" for 5 years. We have other Bassets and when we would go for walks he always led the pack. He loved his walks! Gunner also taught another one of our Bassets how to chase Squirrels. They never caught any, but it was fun to watch them run as we opened the door and they ran and barked, as the Squirrel ran up the tree. Unfortunately, he will not be chasing any more squirrels since we assisted him to the Rainbow Bridge on March 11, 2008. The picture that is attached, is Gunner with his favorite toy "Winnie the Pooh." Out of all the toys, he always found "Winnie" and wanted us to throw it for him. Today when we took Gunner to the Vet for his Final Visit, Winnie was at his side. My only regret was that Gunners life was cut short by Cancer and that there won't be any more walks with him, squirrels to chase, or any more "Winnies" to throw for him. Gunner, we all Love you,and it breaks our hearts to lose you at such a young age. God Bless You Gunner!!!

In loving memory of Lady

Lady came into our lives when we most needed her. Our Barney had gone to the bridge and our hearts were empty. While searching available bassets on the website I saw Lady and knew she was the one. We fell in love instantly. I will never forget the day I picked her up just off Rt 81. Pam who was Lady's foster Mom met me there. It was one of the most peaceful drives home I have had. Lady loved our cats. Millie our black cat used to clean Lady's ears all the time. Lady loved to go for walks. She knew as soon as I reached for my coat it was walk time and she would do her circle dances. Even though she was a bed hog we didn't mind at all. She loved to go to the park . I could go on and on. She was the most special dog ever. She will be missed so much. I love you Lady, and I hope you know that out of that love is why I had to do what I did. I could not watch you suffer any more. Till we meet each other again across the bridge, be a good girl. Darrel, Connie, Derrick, Millie and Otis.


In loving memory of Miss Bailey

Miss Bailey was a rescue basset, when we contacted ny basset gary penny helped us out alot, he and his team came to our house and interviewed our family. thanks for all your help. We were contacted by Baileys family and set up a date to meet her. to say we loved her from the start is a fact. she brought us so much joy and laughter it is hard to believe. she was a little piss pot at times and drove us nuts with stealing dirty clothes and mittens and running away with them. "great game " she also was our "special invite" girl, everyone else would come in from out side but she would just sit and look at us. two minutes after the other dogs came in she would scratch on the door. Special invite we got a boxer puppy and you would have thought it was hers, he slept on her and she of course taught him all the " GAMES". they would play for hours. she was great with our other basset and of course our cats also. We would just like to say that Miss Bailey brought us much love, laughter, happy times, and now a sadness that can't be healed. she was more than a dog, more than a pet she was our friend and family. we love you Bailey and always will. there will never be another like you.

In loving memory of my Rolly
?-10/19/2007

Although I only knew you for 10 months, you took my heart. I never would have imagined loving you so much. I rescued you to make you happier, but it was you who made my life special. You were the sweetest dog I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. My heart is broken but I wouldn't trade knowing you for anything. My only regret is not knowing you longer. Enjoy life on the other side of Rainbow Bridge, you certainly deserve it. I hope you have an endless supply of donuts. I will see you again someday down the road.

We'll miss you forever,
Mom, Dad, Danny, Jessie, and Murphy
Your forever family
