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 |

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!!!

loving memory of LadyLady 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.

loving memory of my Rolly
?-10/19/2007Although 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 |
