Pet Memorials
The grief associated with the loss of a pet can be as severe, if not worse, than the grief we experience with the loss of a human. Our pets come to symbolize many things to each of us. They can represent a child, an ideal mate, a parent, a playmate, a sibling and can even be a reflection of ourselves.
They are often the most faithful, patient and loving companions in our lives. Studies have shown that pets reduce our stress, help the sick heal faster, give the elderly and handicapped new purpose in life and teach us to relate more fully to the world around us. It is no wonder that they seem to work miracles in our lives, and that we would miss them so much when they are gone.
If you would like all of us to join you in remembering your pet, we can post a picture and a short written memorial about your lost loved one. Just contact our receptionist, who would be pleased to help you, or use the form below to post it on this web page.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together…

Smokey (Boo) Hayes
August 4, 1996 – September 2, 2014
Today I have lost my beloved Boo as I always called him though he was named Smokey.
He was our sweet gentle Boo, who will always be in our hearts. He is now again with his best buddy Riley.
Love you forever my Smokey-Boo, our dance will go on and on and never end. You are and always will be the handsomest Boo in the world to me. Oakley and Jake will miss their big Brofur.
To Dr. Ewing and your amazingly staff thank you for your years of caring for my Boo, both of us appreciated your care and compassion for your patients.
Jake-Jingles Hayes
May 1, 2012 – March 30, 2015
Our sweet Jake was not with us very long. He would have turned three this May and we adopted him last April. He was the foofy one leaving little “foofpoops” of hair all over the house. His nickname was Fuzzybutt for his fury tushie. He was the most beautiful kitty in the world. He was a good kitty using the scratching post and never was very naughty. He provided much love to Oakley and taught him to play. We thought we would have many more years together and his passing is hurting more than I would have thought. To Dr Ewing and her wonderful compassionate staff thank you for taking care of him and for being there to help when it came time to let him go. Always grateful to you all.
Sarah Lewis
