A Tribute for Batman ๐๐พ๐
"Batman joined my life 16 years ago when he was new to this world. I'd moved back to Boulder in Spring 2008 after living in Bolivia, found a nice treehouse in which to dwell, and adopted this sweet little bat-eared boy & his gray-toned sister Luna.
They were the first kittens I'd ever lived with and they instantly turned my house into a home โ a home filled with wads of foil and feathers on strings and all the cheek rubs.
Batman lived through 3 boyfriends, 5 human roommates, a fussy feline roommate named Juliet, and a dozen Halloween parties during which he was made to wear a cape.
Through it all, he slept every night curled up in my right armpit, purring like a freight train and making sure I was never alone.
When Batman was 6, he met his first dogs, Vader and Ms Brandywine. Now 10 years later, he slept in bed next to Vader every night until his very last. He cuddled us in bed, smashing his face into ours and using Ron's beard as a bristle brush. Batman completed Ron's transformation from a dog person to an animal person (who I'm pleased to say now uses "cat purring" as his white noise sound).
Batman was my cross-eyed hero and my dark knight, and I loved him as hard as I could. I'm grateful to Ron, Vader, Luna, and our loving friends for helping me get through this.
Does the rainbow bridge come in black?"

A Tribute for Baylyn ๐๐พ
"Baylyn was the love of our lives from the moment we went to "look" at puppies at the Humane Society. Baylyn was our first fur baby and taught us all about unconditional love. She was sassy, spunky and so full of love. We were blessed for 12 and 1/2 years with our sweet girl. We love you Baby bear, thank you for choosing us to be your humans."
A Tribute for Eva ๐พ๐
"Eva burst into my life with ferocity, facing off against my three adult cats as a tiny kitten. She bonded instantly with George, a very rambunctious tabby. They were loving and playful for 13 years. They shared beds, toys, and treat tubes of goo. Eva was an affectionate, chirpy girl with a tiny kitten face and a perfect peach nose. She loved to cuddle and sleep on my chest. She was quick to make biscuits and purr with a few chin scratches. She taught our dog Rigby to play at her level. She was always ready for a new adventure and moving across the country was easy-peasy for my brave girl. She was the spirit of our home and will be missed tremendously."
Good friends listen to your stories, but your best friend lives them by your sideโfour paws and all! ๐พ

A Tribute for Kitty ๐๐พ
"Rest in perfect peace, little one. Your tiny paws left giant paw prints on our hearts. Your curious eyes and playful pounces brought us joy beyond measure. Your soft fur and snuggles filled our lives with warmth and love. Though your time with us was short, your impact will be felt forever. You may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten. Sleep tight, our little ball of fluff. I can't say goodbye to you but our companion is still here. You'll always be in our memories and our hearts."
A Tribute for Romeo ๐
"My baby boy Romeo was everything to me. He helped me in more ways than he ever knew. I got my baby boy when he was just 5-weeks-old and from that day, he had my heart. Romeo was a Chihuahua but had a pit bull attitude. One minute he was your friend and the next he would try to bite your feet if u went to walk out the door without taking him. Romeo was also so lovable. He loved to give kisses and loved to cuddle. He was also very vocal and would bicker back and forth with you and would be sure he got the last word. Romeo enjoyed going on car rides. He would put his tiny lil' front paws on the dash and watched everything that went by and would wait for you to turn the wipers on so he could chase them. This past Sunday, June 30, 2024, was the hardest time I've ever had to go through. Romeo passed away at 10 1/2 years-old. I will never be ok, this house will never be the same. I've cried so many tears. I'm just so lost & I want my baby boy back ๐ญ๐๐๐
R.I.P Romeo. I will always love you and hold you close to my heart. I miss you so very much

A heartfelt tribute for Joey "Sweet Cheeks" ๐
"To my Sweet Joey, aka "Sweet Cheeks,"
The last 17 years with you have been amazing. You touched my life, and made me a better person. I will never forget how you cared for me during my cancer treatments. You would lay right by my head and I could feel your love and energy embrace me. There will never be another cat that will take your place. Our bond is so unique and special and unbreakable. It was so hard to make the decision to let you go but I knew it was the right decision. Now I want you to cross completely over so you can experience the light and warmth waiting for you. You won't be alone - Artie and many of our family members are waiting for you. I know my grief has kept you from fully crossing over, and I want you to know that I am going to be ok. I will focus on all the good times we had with each other. I find peace in knowing that I was able to provide you with a peaceful transition. I will love you forever Joey and I will carry your energy with me for eternity.
Love, Mom"
Thank you for your kind words. Rest in love Berkeley ๐
Tribute for Lola ๐๐พ
"Lola Lena 2009 - 2024
I said goodbye to my faithful companion and best friend of almost 15 years.
Today was your last day on earth
You took your last walk and sniffed your final bush.
There are no more holes to dig.
You met your final new friend today.
You will no longer roll in the grass and sit in the sun enjoying its warm rays, this was your favorite thing to do.
You ate your last meal and took your final treats.
You are probably happy that you had you last bath or that you no longer have to go in the car for a ride. You were never a fan of riding in the car.
Mamma cat will no longer be able lay next to you napping.
She will miss cuddling with you.
I petted your back and gave and a final belly rub.
I snapped a picture of you today, a memory just for me.
You do not have to worry about thunderstorms and fireworks scaring you ever again.
And today you wagged your tail at me for the final time as I said with a heavy heart good bye my dear friend and that you were loved you were so very loved.
You lived a wonderful life and will be sorely missed.
If tears could bring you back, you would be here right now.
You are now free to run and jump and play like you did as a puppy.
You are free to roll in the clouds.
You are free to eat all the heavenly treats you can find.
You are free to watch over us.
You are free to wait for me with your siblings at the rainbow bridge.
Today is the first day your spirit is free

Tribute for Daisy ๐๐พ
"We had to say goodbye to our beautiful sweet Daisy Pupup on May 23, 2024. My heart is broken into about a million pieces still. She was the sweetest, most loving, silly girl and is already missed so much. It was so unbelievably hard to say goodbye to her, it's just not the same without her. I miss the pitter patter of her little feet walking and running through the house, her tail thumping on the floor when we would walk past her. I'm also missing the way she would start barking the moment she heard the garage door open, she was always so excited and happy to see us, even if we were only gone for just 10 minutes. But most of all I am missing her chewbaca growl when we walked up to give her love and her incessant barking and zoomies when it was chow time for my little "chow, chow."
Even with the pain she was in she didn't want to leave us, even at the end and it wasn't surprising since she was always our fierce little protector making sure we were ok. I know she's in a better place and is no longer in pain, but it doesn't make the loss and sadness any easier. If love alone could have saved her, she would be with us forever. She was the best girl, always right by my side when I needed it the most.
To my Pupup girl your unconditional love meant the world to me and you left your little paw ๐พ prints on my heart forever. You will always hold a very special place in my heart that no other dog will ever be able to replace. Your love was there for me until the very end and I'm grateful for every moment we had together. Until we meet again my sweet girl run and play free of pain and sickness and just know how very much loved and cherished you were to all of us. Rest in peace my sweet angel girl, you are missed so very much.๐ญ๐๐พ๐๐
A special thank you to the Caring Pathways hospice team, Dr. Megan and Dr. Kerry. You all made this process bearable and all of the compassion every single person on our team showed meant a lot to me. Thank from the bottom of my heart and for taking such great care of my sweet girl until the very end."

Tribute for Scout ๐๐พ
"Scout was the best companion a girl could ask for. She walked with me through early adulthood and many of the hardest and best moments of my life. She was a constant among so many unknowns, I could always count on her to show me unconditional love when I got home. Her goofy, sweet, snuggly, snorty presence is missed like no other."

A Tribute for Lucy ๐๐พ
"Our beloved Lucy Monroe, our little arctic fox/polar bear looking baby, entered our lives 15 years ago. Back then, we were on a tight budget with no room for extras, but when we saw her adorable picture on Craigslist, we knew she was meant to be with us. The kind lady who was selling her for some reason gave us a discount (probably to seal the deal) and from that moment on, we affectionately called Lucy our "discount puppy."
Lucy was the light of our lives for a decade and a half. She was especially close to her daddy, always by his side, even in her final days. Lucy had a mischievous streak; she chewed through walls, ripped up carpet, and got into all sorts of trouble. Yet, her cuteness always melted our hearts.
She had a big sister, Lollie. Despite their size difference, Lucy would drag Lollie around by her collar and terrorize her endlessly. However, they quickly became inseparable best friends. They loved camping trips, hiking adventures, and car rides. They were even flower girls at our mountain wedding and continued to bring endless joy to our lives.
In 2020, our home welcomed a new kind of babyโa human baby! Lucy was incredibly curious and protective of her new human brother.
After Remi was introduced to Lollie and Lucy, they both made sure to protect him. Even as Lucy grew more tired, she always watched over Remi."
