Pango
Pango was the companion of one of the rescue's very good friend, Billye. He was very loved and is very much missed.

Penny
My Dog Penny was the greatest! Everyone with a dog, thinks that there's is better than anyone else's, because they were close to them. My family got Penny on April 15, 1995. A few months before I was born. My moms mom thought that my mom was crazy, putting me on the floor next to Penny. She had never had a dog before neither had my mom. But my mom knew that Penny would never hurt anyone. She would spread my blanket out across the floor, and Penny would put her paws on it. She would never hurt me and she never did. Whenever I feel sad or lonely, or if I was crying for any reason what so ever, she was right there by my side... She would protect all of us if she even thought that the cable guy was bad. Penny never thought anyone to be bad. Which was why is was so weird when we had a cable guy come in and Penny would not move away from him. She was growling... It got to a point where my mom said, you have to leave. She had a stub tail. It was funny because she was always happy, and she didn't have a tail so she would wag her butt. Oh, and she was very lazy. She would go lay in the shade next to the dock when anyone was out there. But, somehow she was also playful. My dad would razzle with her all the time. She would play pretty rough... but is was so cute. All you heard was rurrrrr.... and an occasional ruff. I loved my Penny, Girl. But, it's not me that I feel sorry for, it's most defiantly not her. She is all better now with 2 eyes and no longer has to take her medicine, and no more hip problems. No, and I'll get over it. It's all the people who have never had a dog before. Dogs turn out to be your best friends, and I know that the worst part is when they go, but they make up for it with how fun they are and how close, and how strong your friendships are. Penny has been my best Friend since I leaned what she was. I loved that dog so much. And she's in a better place no with no more pain. And she died peacefully. She had a good morning, and then at 11am last Thursday she Howled and she had a heart attack. My dad did CPR and mouth to mouth and they drove to the vet, they put her on oxygen and her heart stopped a few minutes later, no cars no pain. She died peacefully and fast. I loved that Dog so much.She was my Penny Girl. ~ Kristin

Pewter
Hi Catherine, as I promised I wanted to give you an update on Pewter. It is a very sad day here as with her diagnosis of FIP we did decide it was best to put her to sleep. As I'm sure you know there is no cure or treatment for it.The one up side to it all is the fact that I believe strongly it's not how long you live, but how well you live. We take solace in knowing that Pewters short life was filled with a great deal of love and that she was fortunate enough to have not been exposed to the many cruelties of life many of the animals at Judy's experience. She will be sorely missed here by all, especially Roxy. Please let Judy know about the FIP. I'm not sure if Pewter ever actually spent time at the shelter but I believe she had siblings so I don't know if you may wish to contact them so they can be aware there kitties could possibly develop it also. She is now with the rest of our family who has passed on in a garden in the back. It is a tradition with us to bury our pets with significant items they had while with us. We wrapped Pewter in her favorite doggie blanket you gave her and her toys from her Christmas stocking. God bless, Mark, Tara, Hannah, Roxy, Chloe, Bubbles, Snowy, and Jazz

Pierre
Today Nov. 3,2009 was a very sad day as our little light shined for the last time.He was one of the most loving and sweet dogs i have ever owned.He had lived a very hard life and when i saw his picture on Pet rescue by Judy website i knew i had to have him.I had lost my own pet a few months before and when i saw this sweet picture i knew i had to have him.We filled out the application and a few days later received the call that we could come and meet him.I walked into the petco and when i saw him i fell in love all over again.He had a few health issues and that made me love him even more.On Dec.24,2008 he broke his right paw and when we took him to the vet and they xrayed it they told me he had cancer in the leg and either i needed to amputate the leg or put him to sleep.I did neither.I did not give him very much of the pain medicine and he eventually got better.He never used the leg again but it did not slow him down.Finally this morning he went out and pottied and then laid down and basically went to sleep and is now in a much better place. I can never thank Judy enough for allowing me to be loved by such a sweet dog.He will be greatly missed by everyone that met him. He is my little star looking down at me and smiling.Goodbye my " P" and i will always love you!!Love, your own mom

Polly the Kitten
After the death of my Little "Andre' the Giant" and "Colonel the Kitten" I knew I'd be writing yet another Rainbow Bridge letter. The same exact scenario happened just a couple weeks later to the third little kitten named Polly. Same symptoms, same greif, same heartache, same tears, same decision I had to make, same emotions, same outcome, same ending. Polly was a grey and white kitten who really stole my heart. She was just so cute! And so feminine in her ways. This one thing she allways did just made me laugh so much... she would stop and do a 360 when running or chasing. Every single time. As if chasing her tail, but not. That was so cute! And she really loved to sit atop my shoulders. She just seemed to be more comfortable there, looking down on everything. She'd stay there as long as I would let her. So I had no choice but to name her Polly. Polly was the third, and so far last, to pass away from her litter. There is still one left and her name is Ezmrlda (yes, I spelled that right, or at least the way I want to spell it for her). Ezzy is almost 5 months old now and I'm hoping and praying she has built up enough immune in her to make a life of it. All I can do is feed her well, give her the best supplements in her food and make sure she gets enough exersize every day and with a little luck maybe, just maybe, she'll beat both of the diseases she was born with that killed all of her siblings. So please, whoever reads this, if you would, please, please just stop here and now and say a little prayer or have a nice thought for Ezzy, that she'll make it in life. Or at least a little while longer because on March 8th she will be going to a Cat Sanctuary in Naples, Fl. It's a sick and injured cat sanctuary currently being built by a wonderful lady who lives in one of four houses on a large property being dedicated to these cats and kittens who need it most. And if she makes it, I'm sure my Ezzy will have a wonderful life there, of what life she has left. So here's to you, Ezzy. Good luck. I will really miss you! And I will allways, allways love you and remember you! I promise I'll come see you someday SOON!!! All my love to you and your siblings, now and forevermore,Chris W.
