Penni Layne Hello! My name is Penni Layne and I crossed over Rainbow Bridge last year, 2012. My Mommy tells my story: "One year ago today, August 18, I lost a part of my soul. My first baby, Penni Layne, was tragically killed and died in my arms before I could get help. I have been dreading this day for a long time but it slowly kept creeping up on me. I can’t help to look at the time and think about what I was doing exactly one year ago. Around this time I was taking my nephew to lunch and then the toy store for his birthday. It was supposed to be a happy day. But it all changed in the blink of an eye. And while I have healed somewhat, I still have so much guilt. Why did I let her get so far down the driveway? Why didn’t I use the commands we learned in puppy class? Why did I go home that weekend? I have heard many people say that there is always that one pet that holds a special place in your heart. Well that was my Penni. She was my four legged soul mate, my life, my child, my world. Just looking at her all I could see was love. I would do anything to have her back again. I felt like a failure as a furmom. She was only 6 months old when she left. I even wished that she had gone to someone else and maybe then she would be happily playing today. Needless to say, my emotions today are on one heck of a roller coaster. Four months after Penni was gone I decided to get another puppy. And wow talk about guilt! It took me a while to get over the guilt of loving and cuddling a puppy that wasn’t Penni. Don’t get me wrong, I love Maggie with all my heart and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. She has helped me in so many ways, more so than any human possibly could. And as I type this, Maggie is laying on my chest with her head on my shoulder as if she knows I am on the brink of tears. I just wish that she could have met her sister and I could sit outside and watch the two of them play in the yard."

Penny Penny's Mom, Angela F., says: "My bestest Mini Pinscher friend Penny passed away in her sleep last night, October 05, 2012. She was 14 years old and had been sick for a long time..." Penny will be deeply missed by her family and friends on Facebook. She brought great joy and comfort to her family. An Angel got her wings.

Prince - Prince deserved so much and it wasn't until the end that he got the love and kindness he so craved. On October 13, 2012 Prince crossed over Rainbow Bridge, per update from his rescue organization. Rest in Peace. Weep for the dirty, matted dog who was left for dead at a park in London. This cruelty shouldn't be tolerated in the United States, England, or in any Country. All they want from us is to be loved.

Rocky - Hi everyone! My name is Rocky and I'm a frenchie pug!! I crossed Rainbow Bridge on July 24, 2014. I just want to tell you people something and then I'll let my Mom talk. I had an eventful life. Some days were good and some not so good but one day, I get to go for a car ride!! I could just feel the love and I grabbed as much as I could because I'm like a senior and us seniors know life is short and we want that loving!! Well, this man has a wife named Marie and together they took such good care of me. I stayed at a retreat that was like a million dollar spa!! Well, that's what I called it but my Mom and Dad called it elderly paws! What's up with this 'Elderly' stuff!! Hey, I'm lookin and feelin pretty good now that I am in such a wonderful, loving place!! Anyway, I'm a rescue and people say that rescues are the best places to be and that's true. I got to go to the vet, I got lots of love, I got interesting places to visit and meet others who live here, too. I even saw a pig!! I'm not sure what happened but I saw this bright light and I didn't know for sure what it was because I was dreaming about snacks. I walked towards the light and that's basically all I know. Guess I'll have to let my Mom finish my story. I just want everyone to know that being rescued is the most super thing in the world and I had the best life I could have ever known. I still come and visit the ole spa and try to help wipe the sad tears away. I was a big star on Facebook too so I have many friends who will miss me. Oh heck, I don't want to get all teary eyed cuz I'm in a wonderful place and I have everything I need just like I did before. I'll see y'all again so just be happy that I was rescued and I was loved and I have no regrets, except that I wish I could have lived at the spa place sooner!! Ok, Mom is trying to take over the keyboard so I'm sending you all a lot of love and I'm with you all. Love, Rocky.

His eyes were blind from long time neglect and frostbite. Blind and Deaf he was very happy until the end and had no pain at all. Rocky officially joined the gang on February 4, 2013.

Rocky - Rocky Roloff crossed over Rainbow Bridge on June 29th, 2013. He is most famous for his appearances on the television reality show Little People, Big World with his Dad Matt Roloff, Mom Amy Roloff and family Zach, Jacob, Jeremy and Molly. He is also survived by his fans. Matt had this to say about his devoted friend and pal: "My best ole' friend slipped away from our heaven on Earth today. Rocky died peacefully right around noon.. outside on the grass right after making his morning rounds. He laid down on this patch of lawn (his favorite hang out) between the house and barn right in the middle of all the activity.. Jeremy went to pet him and realized he had passed away in this very spot.. Sadness has descended on Roloff Farm today. The entire family just happened to be home.. My old friend will be greatly missed. We Love you Rock." Matt's wife, Amy, had this to say about Rocky: "We were filming today and normally we are not supposed to post something when a filming moment happened. Since Matt already did hopefully it'll be ok. This part is always difficult for me. Rocky has been such a part of our lives and on our show. So you kind of know him too. It was a sad day today at Roloff Farms. Our beloved good ole dog Rocky suddenly passed away at the Farm. He's been with us for about 13 years. He loved being with people, even with all of the people who came during pumpkin season. He died his way - on the farm in the grass between our house and first barn. Jeremy found him this morning and came in shockingly to tell us 'He's gone'! We are glad he was a part of our family and sad he's gone. He's happy now running around without pain. Sure will miss him! Thank you everyone." So it is with great sadness that we all say "Goodbye Rock! We will miss you on the show but we know you are in a better place, running, playing, pain free, and we will all be rejoined again one day!!" Our prayers go out to the Roloff family.

Rollie - Hi, my name is Rollie! My Mom thinks I'm just the cutest thing in the world and all her friends on Facebook totally agree. I feel like a King because my Family loved me so much. I was called Home and that made my family and friends cry. I miss them but one day we will all be together again. I will wait for them. I am playing with the other dogs right now and showing them the ropes! I have lots of new friends here so Mom, Dad, I'm fine! I love you!

Roy - Hey, Roy here and I'm from the great State of Illinois!! My Mom Belinda and my family all loved me so much and I loved them. On October 30, 2014 I made my journey. I looked back several times and saw the sadness my family and friends were sharing. I wanted to turn around and go back but I had to keep going forward. It's so beautiful up here and I am still with you all. I still do all the things I did but I am having so much fun running and playing and there are so many up here who had to leave their loved ones, too. My Mom wrote this about me: "Thank you all for your prayers. But it's with very deep sadness that we had to say good bye to one of our family members.... Roy. This was his last picture taken of him today before he went to the bridge. Roy came to our home when he was just 5 years old. His owners didn't want him any longer as he wasn't able to produce any puppies for them. The lady that we got him from, her husband owns a local asphalt company. He was in such bad shape when we got him that after so many baths, he still smelt of urine from the other male he was in the pen with. I ended up having to shave his fur off. Then we made the appointment to have him neutered and teeth cleaned up. But he had to be put on an antibiotic for a bit before they could do his teeth. Make a long story short.... the vet said that neutering him was the easiest compared to doing his teeth. They had to pull 16 teeth. But most of them just fell out, as they were so bad. They said... "Roy was a manure salesman".... as he had a sample in his mouth. It smelled that bad. Roy lived with us for many more years.... even after his strokes and needing to wear diapers as he couldn't hold his urine anymore. Plus his back end was starting to give out on him and his hearing had been gone for sometime. But it was his heart that just couldn't go any longer. It was his time. But I did get my "mommie" kisses just before he went over the bridge. I will miss him dearly. Roy run free my son.... we WILL see you again and when we do I want my "mommy" kisses. I want to thank so many and among them are Tim, Roger, our fur kid Uncle and sitter as well as Mom.... which is Tim's birth mother and my mother that I love oh so dearly.... thanks you three for being there for me. You are the BEST family that I could EVER ask for. Again thank you all for your prayers, emails and messages. They mean a lot to us all....." Roy will be missed by so many and never forgotten. Rest sweet boy and we will see you again!!
