JJ - Hey all, my name is JJ and I have a brother Huey!! I'm a Frenchie!! Ohhh, I am such a handsome fellow! My Mom, Sharon, spoiled me rotten but then look at me! I'm just the kind of guy that everyone wants to spoil! So many of my friends on Facebook looked for me each day, loved on me thru cyber space, sent me cards and gifts and, well, everyone just spoiled me and I loved it!! On February 21, 2013, my Mom began talking about me cuz she was sad so, this is my Journey. Mom says: "I wish I could tell you things are better, but they are not. JJ has an upper respiratory infection and a slew of other problems. With his immune system being so weak from the cancer he is having a tough time fighting anything off. His lungs are filled with fluid. He is on a medication every several hours to help clear them out, which seems to be working when he first takes it. The vets also wanted to put him on strong antibiotics to see if those two combinations of medications will fight this off. So far his health is steady and not declining. They sent him home with me to care for and we are in constant contact to give them any updates. If we don't get a positive change soon or if he gets worse then the doctors don't have any options left. He just wants me to hold him while he rests. (And Huey is refusing to leave his side). He did, praise God, eat a short while ago. He is still on all his regular medications, one being prednisone so they could have finally made him hungry. For now I'm with him 24/7 and praying for a miracle, however, I know we don't have long." My Mom loves me so much!! Ok, then on February 22, 2013, Mom said: "God decided that today was not the day to take JJ home. He is starting to show some signs of improvement. What a blessing!! He went for a walk, ate a little and even played for a few minutes with his toys this morning. His breathing is getting better and he's not as congested. Maybe this dose of antibiotics was what he needed. All I know is that it is because of your prayers that he is still here. We are just going to take it day by day until he's ready to go to the bridge." On February 24, 2013, Mom said: "Things were starting to improve this weekend, but last night all types of physiological problems started (probably based on his cranial birth defect, spinal deterioration and the cancer all mixed together). He's looking at me begging me to help me and I have him on all the medications I can. I can't do anything until tomorrow but keep him comfortable and give him lots of love. My heart has been ripped open. I'm talking back and forth with the vet on the phone and thru text. He has finally started resting and is breathing normally. Thank you for all your prayers. We need them." On February 24, 2013, I decided to speak for myself! So I got on mom's cell phone so I could tell you that I am sending my love to you all: "Thanx tew all my friends fur luving me. I luv yew all tew & sew does my mommaz. I know yew will all be there for herz while I cantz in body, but spiritz. Luv JJ" I have a hard time typing but I think you can figure out what I am saying. On February 25, 2013, Mom was in tears and so upset cuz I have to leave for awhile. Mom told her friends: JJ passed in my arms cradled like a baby just a little while ago. He never took his eyes off me. I know he is running free from all the pain now at the Bridge with Winston and Gracie." Everyone loves JJ and he is bringing joy and happiness and many smiles to the faces of those who passed before him. Welcome to your new Home, JJ! To Mom Sharon, your little guy is around you constantly. You don't think he would just go away in a nano second.....no way! He has a new body and he stays with you to comfort you, love you, give you strength and ofcourse, he just has to give you sweet 'Frenchie' kisses, too!

Jasper - Hello everyone!! My name is Jasper and boy, do I have a story to tell you!! Well, not really me because I can't talk and I don't have fingers to type with but my Mom at Marley's Mutts, a rescue place, she has a lot to tell you about me. I'm a superhero, y'all!! This is what my Mom Cindy says about me: "It is with the heaviest of heart I must inform everyone that our amazing boy Jasper had to be assisted over the rainbow bridge Sunday. After only a few short days being showered with love in his foster family it was determined he had distemper. He hadn't really started showing neurologic signs that the deadly virus had reached his brain (teeth chattering and muscle spasms) and our boy was suffering. Losing dogs is something I have had to become strong towards as its just a sucky part of the job so I'm not sure why I'm having such a hard time with this one. Seeing Jasper at the shelter completely shut down and making the phone calls to line up a foster for him in hopes for his one day adoption kept me going. Pulling him from the shelter and seeing his tail wag as he explored my back yard until his foster family came to pick him up. It's easy to take for granted having the financial ability thanks to all our supporters to be able to save so many dogs. Jasper deserved a second chance just like every other dog but his precious life was cut short. I tried to reassure his foster mom that the short time he was a Mutt was worth it. Knowing he felt warmth and love and had a soft bed to sleep on for those few days was what he needed. We saved Jasper from dying in a cold loud shelter. He was beautiful and young and maybe even had a loving family at some point in his life. I'll never know what life led him to the shelter but I'm glad we found him there and helped him for his last while. Many people mourned the loss of dogs like Parker that we fought long and hard for and truth be told I'm sure it will be easy for many people to forget about Jasper. He wasn't here long and didn't have the strength to put up a long hard fight. But this boy took a piece of my heart with him and I'll never forget his beautiful face. How he just knew how to place his paw on your lap as if saying thank you. Thank you Jasper for allowing me to spend the day with you. I'll forever be grateful for our paths to have crossed. You will never ever be forgotten -Amanda at Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue" So let's keep Jasper in our thoughts and when we cross into the greatest place on earth, look for Jasper because he will be the one out front playing with a big red ball!!

Jess Harris - Jess was born November 05, 2001 and crossed Rainbow Bridge on March 07, 2016.

Jessie aka Jessica - Jessie's owner says: "At 5:15 My little blind Schnauzer Jessica or Jessie as we called her had to be euthanized. She fell ill with kidney failure and though all efforts were made to save her I decided she had suffered enough. She was a beautiful Black mini with tan trappings. A rare treasure. It was almost two months to the day since Jock (See Jock below) died. I know she morned him and now they will be together again. Jessie like Jock will be cremated and always hold a place of honor in out hearts and our home. Jessie was 18 years old." Jessie was a blessing to her family and will be deeply missed.

Jock - Jock was a 16 year old Schnauzer. He was born January 1987 and passed away on December 19, 2002. He was deeply loved by his family. His owner, George says, "Things are quiet around the house now. No one greets the mailman or the paperboy. Nobody walks over to me in the morning to say good morning. He always did that. The day before he died, my other Schnauzer Jessie (See Jessie above) walked over to him and placed her face next to his and just stood for a minute or so. She is older than Jock and blind. She learned a lot from Jock. He seemed to know she was blind, He never bumped her and he always waited his turn for treats. When she dropped one he would patiently wait until she found it on the floor. They both knew when the treats were gone I would just clap my hands together and they would walk away. Jock knew when it was Christmas time and he would await for his presents. He knew he had to have a present. He just knew." Jock is playing in the grassy fields of Heaven and keeps in his heart the love he received from his family and Jessie.

Johnny Worth- Johnny was in rescue, Lone Star Shih Tzu & Lhasa Apso Rescue, and this is what they had to say about him: "It is with great sadness that I have to tell you we had to put little Johnny Worth to sleep this afternoon. Evidently, he had taken a very bad hit when the car struck him and his spinal cord was severed in two different places. One vertebrae had literally exploded into at least 10 pieces. There was no way to stabilize his back with the vertebrae in so many pieces. We got enough in donations to easily pay for the CT scan and exams. Thank you for giving us the chance to know him and to try. He sat on my lap as he traveled to the Rainbow Bridge."

Lady - Lady, a canine, was the mother of Spur (see Spur coloradolady3.tripod.com/dogssu.html) and passed away two days before Christmas 1999. Lady and Spur are playing together in heaven. She will be greatly missed by her owner Shirley and Sarina.

Lennox- Lennox became a star worldwide when mistaken identity claimed his life. In Belfast, Northern Ireland, city officials claimed he looked like a pit bull. If it looks like a pit bull then it has to be a pit bull. Wrong!! This is Lennox's story. Lennox was a seven year old pug-nosed dog. He was drawn into the center of a two year long legal battle between his owners and the Belfast City Council. In 2010 he was captured by the city dog warden because they claimed he was a dangerous 'pit bull-type dog.' Pit bulls are illegal in the United Kingdom. But, as Lennox's owners tell the story, he is NOT a pit bull. In fact, he is a loving companion and has NEVER bitten anyone. His owner muzzled him when around strangers for the benefit of the strangers piece of mind rather than the dog possible biting. It was decided by the Northern Ireland senior appealate court that they would uphold a lower court ruling that ruled Lennox be euthanized. A statement by an 'expert' claimed that the dog was one of the most unpredictable and dangerous dogs he had come across. This was generalizing pit bulls but remember, Lennox is NOT a pit bull!! He was unfairly judged. To make matters worse, his family was not allowed to say their goodbyes to Lennox, their dear family pet. They ask about collecting his body for proper burial and were told that a FEW of his ashes would be mailed to them but no collection of the body. News of the death of Lennox spread via Facebook and Twitter on the Internet. Many morn the wrongful death of such a sweet pet. R.I.P. sweet Lennox, you are dearly loved by your family and the millions of strangers to followed your plight online and via the news. At least now you are running free where there is no discrimination and banning of breeds. Goodnite and goodbye.......

Levi - Levi was born on September 27, 2003 and on October 30, 2013 God reached down and took his paw and invited Levi to join Him in His Kingdom above. Levi looked back as he crossed and saw his family in tears. He paused a moment to give them each a kiss on the cheek and then continued his journey across the Bridge. Levi's family misses him terribly. His Mommy, Jacqueline L, had this to say about her precious boy: "My kindest most loving baby was put to rest on October 30, 2013. He had just had a well check at the end of September and I was told he's doing great. Last week on the 24th he wasn't doing well so I took him back to the vets. And I received news that broke my heart in pieces. My sweet, kindest, dearest, most loving baby had cancer throughout his whole body. I was devastated with the news. The vet asked if I want to put him to rest that very day but, I refused. I wanted to bring him home with his family where he belongs. And I prayed that the medicine and God would make him better. But sadly my prayers weren't answered. I was blessed with 6 more days with him after getting the news. I did everything I could to make his last days as comfortable for him as I could. I laid for hours looking into his eyes rubbing his face and ears. I prayed God would help him. But, the cancer was found too late. He couldn't eat and I had to use a syringe to give him water. He could not stand on his own and yet refused to potty in the house. He would lift his head and whine trying so hard to stand. So we would put him on a blanket and bring him outside. We would lift him up and hold him so he wouldn't fall. As soon as he was up right he would start going potty. Then we'd carry him back in and wipe him off. He did not want to be alone nor did we want him to be. Every night we would bring him into the bedroom on his blanket so he could sleep on the side of the bed near me. I would wake up throughout the nights to check on him and give him water. In the morning we would bring him back out into the living room where I would have to be for the day. More than anything in this world we wanted him to stay with us. But, I knew I had to help him not to suffer no longer. I had to make the hardest decision of my life, and that was to help him go peacefully so he wouldn't be in pain any more. We were right there with him until he took his last breath. My tears have not stop and the pain in my heart is too much too bare. I miss him more than words can express. I am so thankful I was blessed to have him in my life and part of our family for 10yrs. I pray he will come to me in my dreams letting me know he's happy and running free in Heaven. I hope he knows how very much he is loved and missed. R.I.P. My Dearest Levi. I Love and Miss You with All My Heart! Love, Mommy" Levi, we know you will be waiting for your family on the other side. Rest sweet boy.
