Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart. |

I am so sorry to hear about magnum. I know
how much you all loved him. I know he will be missed and it will take some to
adjust but he is in a better place and out of pain. He was lucky to have such
loving parents for 16 long years!

I'm so so so sorry Val. He had a
wonderful life with you though. I don't know many pets that live to that
age. You certainly are in my thoughts and prayers. I can only imagine how
difficult this is for you after years and years. As I said I have you in my
thoughts and prayers and I know Magnum will be at rest and in no more pain and
that's what is best for him and that is what you really want.
So sorry for your loss
You are in my thoughts and prayers. We
never get over them, we just get use to living without them. Hope you are
doing okay.
Much Love, Judy Good, Bruiser, Godiva,
and Simba

Mom, I know it's hard. I had to do it with
my two cats. I loved them both very much. It's sad dogs don't live as long as
us. Well tomorrow will come and go. And you will have to move on. I know it's
hard, it's got to be really hard for Magnum to be going through this. I love
you.
I am really sorry about Magnum. I know it
must be really hard. I think Magnum is in a better place now.
Love, Eric

Val: Please read the message below and
it is my hope that it will bring comfort to you. My thoughts will be with
you this afternoon. Hang in there my friend: Do what your heart tells
you. You may want to go, the process is so peaceful, but, if not, please
try to see him before burial or cremation. My heart aches with you. You
can hold Magnum in your arms if you can handle that. No one else but
another dog lover can understand how you are feeling right now!!
We all know when that time has come. When they lose their quality of life and you are close and know your dog, their eyes will even tell you when it's time. Hang in there Val.

Oh no, I am sooooo sorry. Bri and I went
into such a deep depression when the genet died. So I know how awful it is.

That's nice of your friend to send you the
Rainbow Bridge - it does make one feel good, doesn't it. Everyone is on your
side. We are all thinking of you and what you are going through today.
Love, Mom

| I’m so sorry… he did have a good life and you were lucky to have him this long. It is not good for him to suffer and you will just have to remember all the good times. I know it does not make it any easier, but give yourself time to grieve over it. I will be thinking about you. Debbie Andrea | |||

| As for Magnum, I am so sorry, but you have to understand that you have done far more than most people would have. I know that he’s your baby and how much you love him but if he can’t even stand it’s not fair to him to stick around. It would have just been a matter of time. If you believe in Heaven then you’ll know that it’s not the end for him, he’ll be fine. It’s like with any other death of a loved one, the ones that stay behind suffer. Again I am so sorry. Ginnie Quiroga | |||

| I’M SO SORRY………I KNOW YOU DON’T WANT TO DO THIS, BUT, WHY SHOULD HE SUFFER SO MUCH. IF YOU NEED US FOR ANYTHING, LET ME KNOW. Linda Bavaro | |||

Hi Val.
I am sorry about Magnum but, as we all
know, nobody, not even loving creatures like him can avoid this
outcome.
Dear friends. Only you could do something like this, and Magnum, certainly, deserved it. We loved him too. Don´t despair because we will see him again. Eroni & Zilda De Oliveira. |

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....

Life is short........................
A
Keeper
Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a housedress, lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other. It was the time for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, eating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more. But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...never to return. So... While we have it... it's best we love it... And care for it.... And fix it when it's broken.... And heal it when it's sick. This is true.. For marriage.... And old cars.... And children with bad report cards..... Dogs and cats with bad hips.... And aging parents.... And grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep. Like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special.... And so, we keep them close! - unknown Sent from Brian Robbins

What a wonderful remembrance of Magnum; I am just speechless. - Linda Bavaro This is such a beautiful and touching tribute. You did a wonderful job. I hope you had a better day today filled with fond memories of Magnum - Sher Bains OH how wonderful - so many friends grieving with you. That must be some consolation though it won't replace Magnum. - Frank Peluso That's a great website of Magnum. No other dog ever got so much attention and so much love. - mom Thea and I looked at this wonderful tribute to Magnum together. All the testimonials and pictures made me laugh and cry, just like life. Thank you for creating it. Love, Shirley What a beautiful tribute to a dear friend. We have special people/animals in our lives for such a short time, and it is the love we share and the memories we keep that helps make life full. Love, thea I know just what you are going through. We had to put my Brutus down in
Feb., and it was the hardest thing every. But he was so sick and he was
suffering. When I make my meat balls or have left over pizza crust I feel it,
among other things.
Only you could do something this beautiful in memory of your beloved Dog...
Lynn Napier
Sorry to hear about your little friend. I have been there myself, when I lost Pockets. I'm sure they are playing together up there somewhere. What a perfect way to remember your best friends. Love Jacque What a wonderful site to honor Magnum's life! - Beautiful pics! Frolic Martin
I went through this 5 years ago and my eyes still water when I think about
mine. God gave me 14 good years with mine , he gave you 16. We will always
hear them and miss them. -John Ayala
My cat Simon also died two months ago - the
day I arrived in Port Townsend when I opened his container to let him see our
beautiful new house - he was dead. He had a weak heart - a murmer. It was
sureal and I am still not the same. I so miss him and our special life
together. I share your grief.
- Linda Lundell Your little Magnum was Chibi's first love! I will never forget all of the times Chibi would make her way over to your house and even through your dog door to visit Magnum! I see Chibi even made it on to Magnum's website. She would be honored. I see Magnum was well traveled and more importantly well loved. All of your photos show that. Magnum was blessed to have such wonderful parents that treated him so amazingly! Love, The Millman's When I read this site and thought about your beautiful friendship with Magnum, I thought about the length of time you had together. 16 years to love and be loved. That doesn't always happen in this world with all animals or even people. I honor your companionship and the time you had together. -Andrea Johnson
What a great tribute to a great little pal! It's so tough when a beloved
companion passes on -- Steve

A dog experience... Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker 's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ''I know why.'' Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live. He said,''People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?'' The Six-year-old continued, ''Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.'' Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like: When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy. Take naps. Stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily. Thrive on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently. There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING... Have a great life
