Harry fought a long brave battle with Feline Leukemia and FIP before his Journey to the Bridge on January 01, 2000.

Nancy Johnson described this little guy thus, "Harry, our reluctant star!"  She writes, "We buried Harry in a sunny part of the garden in a yard he loved--full of birds and ducks and squirrels. We miss him terribly. Harry had a lot of personality and would converse with you using many different meows and lots of body language. Even when sleeping, he would acknowledge his name with a slight wag of the tip of his tail. He loved food and the diabetes diagnosis was a huge adjustment until he trained Bob to feed him "healthier" people food treats and just include it in the insulin plan. In his younger days he was an incredible jumper--7 ft. from the floor to his favorite cubby hole on top of the kitchen cabinets (with a window view). These past few weeks, when he wouldn't drink much on his own, we started calling the sub-Q Ringers w/potassium chloride "Flubber juice" after the Disney movie "Flubber", because he would perk up and take a flying jump when a half hour earlier he had had to rest after just a few bites of food. Some cats just won't admit they are sick. "

Prior to the burial, we got to spend 1/2 hour with Cleo ... open casket.  We were able to place some personal belongings with her to be buried along with her.  My husband made a wonderful collage of pictures so that she would remember all of us ... pictures of her and Missy in all their favorite places, pictures of us with Cleo, etc.  I also enclosed a love note to her reminding her that we love her so much and that we will meet again one day in Heaven."  Cleo remains in the hearts of her family.

Meggie's human, Charlotte, was preparing to go home to Australia when Meggie left for the Bridge.  She took Meggie's ashes with her to scatter in Australia.  Charlotte writes, " My lovely Meg just left us, at the ripe old age of 10, and two years and four months after being diagnosed
with diabetes. .. She had been a working cattledog in Australia at my parents' ranch, and I got her when she decided to break into the chickenyard and help herself to my mum's best laying hens. Meg moved with me to Texas from Australia in 1995, and at a time when I was halfway around the world from everyone I knew and cared about, she was my little shadow. I took her kayaking with me in Austin almost every weekend until she went blind, and several times after that. We went on roadtrips together through Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama, and her last big adventure was going camping with me last Thanksgiving. She had many friends at the vet clinic, and my eyes were not the only ones red with tears when the time came. I'm moving back to Australia in the middle of this year, and was hoping Meg would...well, not exactly see, but at least smell her homeland again. I'm going to take her ashes back with me and plan to scatter them on the cliff we used to walk along at the entrance to Sydney Harbor. ... Hug your animals tonight and think of my Meg. She was a good dog and I loved her very much. I'm going to miss her.

Barney was 15 1/2 yrs old and had been diabetic for 5 years.  Ten days before he was set free, Barney was diagnosed with CRF.  Jeanie found the book The Final Farewell comforting and quotes this poem for Barney:

Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little-but not too long
and not with your head held low.
Remember the love that we once shared.
Miss me-but let me go.

For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master plan,
A step on the road home.

When your are lonely and sick of heart,
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me-but let me go.

He had insulin resistance and chronic kidney failure and he bravely fought the battle for a year but it became to much for him and lost the battle. It was a very hard decision to make but it was the right one for Wildie

Wildie and his siblings were born in our chicken coop. His parents were feral. From the begining he was anti-social, did not like to be handled, he was a hissing, spitting wild kitten. Over the years he slowly mellowed but until his last year of life, when he had to go and stay at the vet's so many times, he still hid away everytime somebody came to the house....  He was 10 years old when he went over the rainbow bridge. ...

Mouse loved everyboy and everything equally.  His purpose in life was to be with me, and nothing else seemed to matter, so he accepted other dogs, cats, fosters, people, with joy and love.  *Nothing* could stress out this dog.  He was my shadow for 10 years.  He was my heart and soul.  I can't believe he is not here."

A note for Sylvester from Mandy Arnold (RB 1999)

"Dearest Sylvester:
You don't know me but my name is Mandy. I am a 12 year old poodle. I came to the bridge last year. I was very very sick, I even had surgery, a blood transfusion, and the whole nine yards.
My mom visited me at the vet all day, she would sit on a stool and hold me in her arms with my I.V.s in my paws. They let her stay there all the time with me.
The last time she saw me, I wasn't breathing and the Vets even did cpr on me. Mom said to let me go and the whole office was in tears, even the 3 vets, as well as mom and dad.
She had me cremated cause she couldn't bear to part with me. She was very very sad and depressed for a while. She has my picture right here next to her computer. She couldn't stand to be without a dog, so that's what started her love of rescue.
She knew that's what I would want and in honor of me, she got a dog the next month.
It is very nice here, lots to do and I've seen all the muffin furbabies up here too.
We play and eat whatever we want, no more needles ! I know my mom misses me, but she is at peace knowing that I am ok and will see her one day.
Tell your mom you are very very prould of her for making the most important decision of your life,
she loved you enough to adopt you, now she loves you enough to let you go and let Him adopt you.
She will be very sad for a while, but in time she will be saying "remember the time..."
and she will think of something funny you did to make her smile.  We will be waiting for you and welcome you , and will say prayers for your mommy to help her through this very difficult time.
We love you,
Mandy"

To Rainbow Bridge very suddenly on Saturday, June 09, 2000

"It's with great sadness that I tell you my sweet doggie Rascal died last Saturday while we were out of town.
Myy neighbor, Bev, who was looking after her, called Sat night to say that she had died sometime during the day.
So we had a really sad homecoming last night.  Bev had wrapped her up in ice until we could
get home to bury her.
We buried her in the back yard where she loved to watch the squirrels and bark at the crows....
I didn't know Rascal's actual birthday (we rescued her when she was about 6 mos old), so I always celebrated it on June 10
which is also our wedding anniversary.  She would have been 12 years old last Saturday, which ironically, is also the day she died.  From now on every anniversary will be mixed with sadness as we remember our girl's passing.
Right now my heart is broken, but I am trying to focus on all the good days we had together
She was a Lab/Neufie cross,
and had that sweetie-pie personality so common to both breeds. She never met a person or a dog she didn't like.She was an angel from day one.  Never put a tooth in anything in the house, house-broke in about 2
minutes, never got into the trash (OK, maybe once or twice), was always in a good mood, and happy to see everyone.  We had some grand times together.
She was diagnosed with diabetes in April of 1999...
I'm reminded of a few lines from Shakespeare
(English majors always are reminded of a few lines from Shakespeare, regardless
of the occasion).
These words were spoken by Juliet as she waited for Romeo to come to her balcony:

"...And when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heaven so fine,
That all the world will be in love with night."

So tonight, look up at the sky and spare a kind thought for my angel girl and all the pets we have lost this year
and so sorely miss.

died the day after and Kai the day after that.  Little bodies like that just can't stand up to panleukopenia.  I wish people would see what happens to these little animals that they so carelessly dump :("

Tigger's person, Dorothy, was a dear friend to Muffin member, Mona Martinique.  Mona writes, "Dear Muffin friends, It is with great sadness that I say my good friend Dorothy's Tigger
doggie is going to the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon (7/14).  Tigger is 14 1/2 and has lived with diabetes 4 years. Dorothy is an inspiration to us all.  In her eighties and not one to be  a nursemaid, she has faithfully given Tigger his shots twice a day  for 4 years, put dry eve salve in his eyes for almost that long, seen him thru a few hypo episodes with Karo syrup and agonized over his blindness from diabetic cataracts. The wealth of information we received from the wonderful members of this list has helped her immeasurably and she is so grateful.
Just the other day she was re-reading many of the posts I have  printed for her over the years, saying how she could relate so well to what was written, having had so many similar experiences.  My Corky and Tigger have been best buddies for the past 6 years and Dorothy's & my friendship grew thru our doggies.  Before Tigger became blind we have fond memories of our releasing their leashes and their running down the street towards each other in greeting.  And just yesterday morning Tigger greeted Corky's approach with the biggest tail wag!!  But then he had a really bad day.  A week ago we learned his kidneys were failing and he had some really bad days.  He rallied some but became steadily weaker thru the day yesterday.
In loving memory of Tigger,

"On Monday, September 18th at 10:45am, Kiki Cougar Mellowcat Wilson made her
way to the rainbow bridge.

She was undergoing surgery to determine the extent of a tumor and fluid buildup that was invading her abdomen.  ...
We all know the emotional committment required to care for a seriously ill animal, and when they leave abruptly it's such a
strange and empty feeling. No more shots - no more meds - no more cleaning up the litterbox misses. All those things we do out of love, and would glady do still. The house is quiet, and we are all depressed, yet I wouldn't change a minute. These few days of pain are nothing compared to the years of joy we shared.

I realized on the way home it was 19 yrs this month that she came to me, and now I can't believe she's really gone. We'll get her ashes later this week, and take her with us when we move to Tennessee
(she'd be with us in spirit in any case). My solace comes from the fact that I know she was warm and dry and fed every night for the last 19 years - and now she's is in God's hands, free from pain and that sweet little body that had turned against her. Much as I wanted to fix her, in the end all I could do is say goodbye. My last
request was that she wait for me at the bridge, and I'm sure she will.

To everyone who sent good wishes, our heartfelt thanks. You gave us the courage to do the right thing, which was giving her this last chance at life, without prolonging death. She had a great life, and left loved and with dignity. She is already terribly missed. I have put together a tribute page for her at

Britt is well known to everyone in the Muffin family as she was instrumental
in her family's adopting Shali, the very first Muffin rescue.
Were it not for Britt's acceptance of this beautiful girl, Shali's fate would not have been such a happy one.

    "God has answered our last prayer for Britt and carried her
peacefully to Rainbow Bridge.  ...

"We then took Britt to the Pet cemetary  and arranged for
cremation and picked out an urn so she will always be near us.
    Thank you all for your prayers during this long and trying ordeal.
Though I still cry, I am also relieved that our baby is finally at rest
and will be waiting for the day we will all be together again.

    "We've always said she was the regal one of my girls, the mature one,
maybe because she is English.  She had a demanor about her that was very
undog like when she was being the normal Britt ... She was dignified, extremely obedient
and understood whatever you said to her. ..."

Hello everyone,

"..  She was my best friend for 17
yrs. She was such a good girl and died very peacefully
in my lap on her blanket. "
I'll miss her terribly.

Biscuit came into our lives in September, 1996, a senior rescue from a shelter
in New York State.  She travelled all the way to
New Brunswick, Canada, to become a vital part of our family.
She was a total character and she is totally missed.
It is just not the same without the "grey ghost" dogging my footsteps or
barking in my ear at 4:00 a.m. for a snack.

"... We are a very sad household today. ...
We took her to my friends farm and she is buried under a nice shady tree.
It is so strange without her."

Give all your pups a hug tonight.  Wish I could.
