In Loving Memory of our Dogs


		I would first like to say thanks to everyone at Suakville Vet Clinic. I have no doubt everytime any of my pets were in your care it was the same care they would recieve from me personally. I promise my pets unconditionally that I will return and pick them up and I did ewverytime until Knights last breath. I will be returning shortly to take him to his final resting place and I am please to say that I am sure he is doing well somehwere else. Please post his pic and share with everyone what a top notch vet clinic Saukville is! Knight was my walking buddy he was my silent friend who never complained when I left only cheered upon my return. He encouraged me to walk when it was below freezing and honestly looked the happiest chasing scents everywhere in the snow. He no longer struggles to breathe on those hot days but I am sure misses his swimming pool. For Knight was the only Siberian Husky I knew that loved to swim. The yard may be empty where he used to lay, the walks are more lonely, and the snowstorms wont be the same. However my heart is filled with warmth everytime I remember my walking buddy. I salute Saukville Vet and The Humane Society for all they have done. As time heals all sorrow I will again get another dog but not another Knight. I look forward to seeing you again my friend...Love Goldy

		Diamonds, the beloved pet of the Dunco family. Diamonds will be missed.

		“Bandit was a Lab/Springer mix and came into our family in 1998. His first year as a puppy was spent chewing up and consuming just about everything in sight. This included a large tube of A&D Ointment used to treat the diaper rash on our infant and which passed through his system as quickly as it went in. Several times during that first year I received calls at work from my wife saying “this dog won’t be here when you get home!” His second year and thereafter lead to him becoming the model dog, only we think somewhere along the line, someone forgot to tell him that he was a dog, not a human being. He enjoyed roaming around our yard and my parent’s yard next door keeping track of what everyone was doing. My dad called this “going on patrol.” He also really enjoyed the camping trips we take several times during the summer. This year’s camping simply will not be the same without him. He was happy, playful and a faithful friend without fail. He will be dearly missed not only by our family and friends, but also by our other dog Sophie, a Yorkie/Shitz Tzu mix, who will miss the daily face washes from Bandit’s tongue. We’re really gonna miss you Ban…”

		This is in memory of my special guy Emmitt. It has only been a week and a half and I can not believe how much I miss you. Your smile, your sillieness and all the bones you buried were the light of the day. Your silly loud bark and running with that stuffed beagle are truly missed. You are my best friend, Jack misses you greatly. Hope you can run and play at rainbow bridge. 8 years was not enough. Kisses and hugs my little love bug. Love mom, dad, boy, girl, Jack and the cats.

		Holly was the beloved pet of the Weiss family. Holly will be missed.

		Baxter baby was not only the best pet I ever had, he was my best friend and companion. My parents gave baxter to me as a birthday present 3 1/2 years ago. he was 9 weeks old and just as sweet as could be. He didn't play like a normal puppy though. I found out when he was 6 months old that he had a genetic bone issue and needed to have surgery on his right front leg to correct it. The surgery went well but his foot stayed crooked. There was no way to fix that. I was told later that year that he was more than likely going to have problems with the rest of his legs especially his hips and he was put on medication to keep the pain to a minimum. I was also told that he was probably going to have to be put down at a early age. He did well for a while and then the pain started getting to him. He was limping off and on, unable to go on walks with me and the kids, couldn't run very much or do most of the things a dog likes to do. Around christmas of 09 he became very lethargic, sleeping most of the day and in alot of pain. I was told that the medication he was taking was the maximum he could have and there was nothing more I could do aside from hip surgery. I did not want to put him through that again so we made him comfortable. 2 weeks ago he could no longer put weight on his right hip. He was hopping around on three legs, unable to climb the stairs, jump up or down on his favorite chair and wasn't eating his food. I came to the very harsh reality that it was time he went home to heaven. Dr. Shepard came out to the house and helped my baby be at peace for the first time in his very short life. I miss him like crazy. Everything in the house reminds me of him and what a special creature he was. No matter how much pain he was in, he would try to hide it and give you love. He would sing along with my daughter while she practiced her instrument, lay on my sons legs so he couldn't move in bed, attack the kids with kisses when they sat on the floor, or just jump up on the couch and snuggle--that was his favorite!!! There is a large hole now in this house and it will never be the same without him here. I love you Baxterbaby with all my heart and soul...i just want one more kiss.....

		Casey, Thank you for finding me after the loss of Bandit. Although you only stayed with us for a short time, you were loved by all of us. I will miss our conversations and the way you would sit under the willow and watch as the world moved on.

		Bandit, Thank you for 11 great years, and the first 3 that no one thought you would make it through. You ended up being a great dog, playmate for my nephews, and shadow to me everywhere I went. You will have a place in my heart forever.

		Sarge was a chocolate lab that was given to me when I was 8 years old as a birthday present. We had a lot of good times together and he was always there for me when I needed him. He was a quiet and very friendly dog. He loved going for rides in the car and loved to swim in summer. Sarge gave us 14 wonderful years and he will be greatly missed by the family.

		Dakota was our first "baby". We had 12 great years with her, and both of our kids have grown up with her in the house. Although she could be a pain in the butt sometimes, we wish she was still here. She was a good dog, and she will be missed by all of us. We weren't ready to say goodbye yet. We know she is in a better place, but it is still hard to think she won't be there to greet us when we open the door. Goodbye pooch. We'll miss you.

		Kota- we had 11 wonderful years with you- not enough time. You will always be my special girl.

		Willie sadly passed away in June of 2009. His death was a shock since he was only about 7 years old. We only got to know you a few short years, but loved you DEARLY! It was on a whim that we went to look at kittens one day at the Humane Society. I just wanted to peek at the dogs. I walked past them all and got to the last cage and there you were. So tiny and scared! I pointed to the lady and said "that one." I took you in a room and played with you forever. I had to beg Dad to let us have you since he said we'd never own a "fufu" dog, but he came to love you as much as I did. You were so loving with everyone you met and never short of kisses. We'd laugh how we'd have to pry you off of us to stop. Even though you were tiny, you acted like the big protector of our family. Barking like crazy when someone came to the door. But your tough act would only last for a minute or two as I would appologize to our guests and then you were all over them like us. We love you little Will and you will never be far from our hearts. Rest in peace little guy...

		Lambeau, a cinnamon (yellow) lab, came to us at six weeks old in 1997 and for the next 12 years gave our family more joy and laughter than any dog owner could ask for. He was gentle and patient. I can still see him "hitched to the wagon" pulling a child or two up and down the driveway. He grieved for our husband and father in 2004, laying by the front or back door for two weeks waiting for Mike to "come home", but he also helped us in our own grief with his loving and kind manner. He is now and will forever more be greatly missed by his family and all who knew him.

		Smokey came to us at 6 months old, He shared my 2 children’s youth and was an important part of our family for 14 years. He is and shall continue to be greatly missed. Smokey was a Cockapoo mix and his temperament was loving and very tolerant, I understand he’s waiting for me at a particular bridge, I look forward to our reuniting.

		Jack was rescued from a dismal existence in Illinois in 2005. He was 7 at the time he entered our home. He turned out to be one of the friendliest, most loving dogs anyone could have. He helped bring our other Samoyed, Molly, out of her shell of fear of people, and the two of them were best friends. Never once did they fight, in fact Jack never fought with anyone. He was so sweet anyone who met him fell immediately in love with him. He was the best dog I have ever owned, and my best friend right up to the end. I will miss Jack right up to the time we cross over the Rainbow Bridge together.

		Dakota, was 10 1/2 years old. He was very loved.

		Codee was an Australian Sheppard, 11 years old and came from a ranch in Colorado. There was no better friend and no more loyal dog than Codee. He was always happy to see anyone and ready for a fun day.

		Butler came into our lives when we adopted him after a track closing. He was well behaved, loving, and very smart. He was a very good racing dog back in his day with alot of 2nd place and even some first place finishes. After he caught a rabbit in our yard he seemed to act like he was done with all the running and really got into his retirement. He was a true friend and will be dearly missed. I am glad we were able to give him a few years of peaceful retirement.

		"Lola" our 11 year old Weimaraner had to be put down this May. Lola came to us when she was 7 and gave us 4 good years as the "Mom" of our pack of three. We will all miss her very much and wish to thank Dr Sheperd, Dr Hinz, Dr Stephani, all the caring tech's and wonderful office ladies for their professionalism and compassion over those 4 tears.

		Mandy was my friend, my confidant and most of all she never complained when I lost my cool. She was always there and will always be with me. She was a multi-colored Lhasa Apso who for 14 years, never gave up on me, and to the end, never gave up on herself.

		Angel, a Great Pyrenees. A very beautiful, fun, friendly, gentle and lovable dog. She loved to play "Queen of the Picnic Table". Sadly missed by all.

		Molly was a chocolate brown toy poodle that loved everybody. From the old to the young. She loved going for walks everyday. She loved traveling, camping, and loved to go for walks at Harrington beach and going to Dairy Queen after wards for a little Ice cream. She was a friend and a great companion. She will be missed by all. She was 13 1/2 when she passed.
