Goodnight sweet Max,

I will always love you and you shall live in my heart forever.

You taught me so much. 

Run free, pain free at Rainbow Bridge.

Love, Carole

Sweet, sweet Bailey.....that is how she was from the minute we picked her up as a puppy.  We have had many dogs in our lifetime, but we always called Bailey our perfect dog, because she was.  She never went through a puppy stage, just wanted to please and love us.  It's like she knew that was her job and she did it to perfection. 

When she was diagnosed with cancer, we were devastated.  Bailey would not give up though.  We were blessed with two more Christmases with her after the doctors only gave her months to live. 

When we adopted our Westie, Cailey, I feel like she knew she could let go.  Cailey would take care of us now.  Bailey....we miss you so much.  Cailey....you are our lifesaver.  You make us laugh everyday.
 

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumns's rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush.

of quiet birds in circled flight,

I am the stars that shine at night.

Please do not cry for me,

In your hearts I will always be.

Perry, we will miss you so, tap, tap, tap at the refrigerator door.  You were the most amazing little rescue dog.  With heavy hearts, Kay, Dan, Karen, Toni

Our sweet Heather crossed the bridge yesterday morning.  Though Heather’s progress was short lived, we believe she did it for us.  She gave us the greatest gift all by showing us a glimpse of her Westie ways, her sweet demeanor when pills weren’t involved, and her love of gentle belly rubs.  She was the sweetest animal imaginable who shared our home and our hearts for two very short weeks.  As she made her final journey, we held her close and our tears soaked her head.  She was loved and cared for as if she had been our own for 17 years.  No matter how much time we are given with our pets, it will never be enough.  Heather was not just an old rescue dog.  She was “our” dog.  We are comforted that Heather died knowing she was wanted and loved. We miss her terribly, Karen & Kay

I lost my best friend this year.  I miss him more then words can say. 

8:50 am July 25th, 2009, 10 minutes before we were to leave for the 
vet to make that horrible decision Murfee gave me one more gift, he spared me from having to make that decision.

And took his last breath at home in my arms next to my heart.

Always with me,
Mommy

Our darling Hannah crossed the bridge today,

Life will not be the same without her sweet way.

She was such a joy to be around,

The most wonderful Westie spirit to be found!

Farewell sweet Hannah, you will be sorely missed by Dick & Pat and all of us at WROC.  You truly touched our hearts.

Never have I known any other person, four or two-legged, who commanded so much love, adoration, and affection by all who had the good fortune to meet her.  Duby had been the center of her universe since she was born.  I am unbelievably blessed to have adopted her 14 years ago, which seemed to have passed in a blink of the eye. 

In her final hours, my wife and I had the fortune to communicate with Duby through an animal communicator.  We got the confirmation that Duby knew she was loved by all, that she never did anything she did not want to, that she had lived her life happily, and that it was her time to go.  Duby stayed for as long as she could, only to make sure we will be okay.  She thanked me for loving her for who she is, and my wife for the overwhelming care and love she provided.  Duby’s final words: “I lived my life as I wanted, and I have no apologies or regrets.” 

Duby escaped her age and cancer ridden body at 10:25AM, on Friday, June 5^th, 2009.  She was 17 years young, and now her spirit roams free but never far.  Thank you, Duby, for all the love, happiness, and wisdom you shared with us in the short years you were here.  We miss you dearly and constantly, and look forward to be reunited soon.  Love always,  Jason and Catherine  

On May 24, 2009, our precious Kelsey left us for the Rainbow Bridge. He was sent to us via airplane in June, 1995 and he came out of his crate giving us kisses and wagging his tail.  During the almost 14 years he graced our lives, he never stopped giving kisses and wagging his tail. Everyone who came in contact with him couldn’t help but smile, as he was very social and had a magnetic personality. 

He was a fighter and proved it by coming through 3 cancer surgeries and chemotherapy in the last year he was with us.  Each time, he bounced back and was his strong and happy self. When he finally couldn’t fight anymore, he let us know, but even then he was reluctant to leave. Our life was so much better for having our wonderful Kelsey in it and he is greatly missed.  Ronna & Ted

Reilly, a beautiful little pup adopted in 2004, sadly left us today in the early prime of her life.  Reilly suddenly and inexplicably took ill, and although her Mom and Dad and so many wonderful doctors did everything they could, she quietly passed away today in the arms of her loving family. She crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, tail wagging and looking for her toys and fellow playmates.

Reilly was always quite a character, from when she was just a wee puppy to her grown up years, and although a bit smaller than most of her Westie cousins, she never yielded in making sure they all knew she was the Alpha Dog/Head of House.

She lived a happy life with her adopted Westie brother Andy playing with him every chance he would allow and enjoyed so much fun with him and all their friends at the Rancho Bernardo Dog Park, Dog Beach at Coronado, neighborhood walks with Andy, and in backyard BBQ’s. Reilly was such the party girl sharing her toys with all of our friends at our parties and events.

She will be missed dearly, remembered and cherished forever, and will always remain in our hearts, our lives, and our memories.  Thanks to our many special friends for being so kind to Reilly all these years and allowing her to be a small part of your lives.   Tammy & Jon

Every day of the 18 years Wesley and I were together he made me smile and taught me how wonderful West Highland Terriers are. There are dogs and then there are Westies who are more like "People of Fur". I was fortunate to have him come into my life and I'll never forget how wonderful he was.  Robert

I remember her sitting on the side of her bum like Westies do with her head tilted and that quizzical look on her face.  Everyone loved her in such a short time, she ruled the house.  Love Marilynne, Ken & Bentley

We will all miss you, sweet Kate.  You were a very special rescue girl who touched so many people.  You are the reason that WROC began this extraordinary journey.

XOXO Kay and Karen

She was my inspiration on much of the art and crafts that I did.  

She was such a special girl! 

Thank you. 

Joy

It doesn't matter that she was ready or that she was 15 years old

and I had known this was coming  for some time.  

She will always hold a very special place in my heart. 

Nancy

Sophie, oh Sophie

My heart aches for you

My precious little girl

Sophie, oh Sophie

I miss your Westie howl, your little wroo..roo…roo

I miss you my sweetie pie…my sweet pea

My precious little girl…my baby

Sophie, oh Sophie

I knew it was you…that white butterfly that followed me on a hike

I know you are in the stars that watch over me in the sky at night

My precious, precious little girl…my angel

I miss the wagging little tail;

I miss the plaintive, pleading wail;

I miss the wistful loving glance;

I miss the circling welcome-dance.

Denise and Art

Today, March 5, 2009, marks the 1^st anniversary of MSTie’s crossing the Rainbow Bridge to unite with her sister Nestle – I’m sure they are both happily romping together, enjoying all the blessings of the Lord and an existence without pain or suffering, only pure joy.   MSTie was a very special pup and I was so lucky to have shared my home with her during the best years of her life.  Joan
