In loving memory of Benny, the much beloved Maltese/Shihtzu companion to Artie and Debbie Schwartz. “Benny leaves behind a heartbroken but grateful and appreciative family. We experienced a lot of love and joy knowing him and having him in our family for the 12 years of his short life. He will be greatly missed by all of us and especially by his older brother ‘Tyler.’ You will always be in our hearts.” Remembrance donation by Dean Surkin and Jacqueline Birnbaum, July 2014.
In memory of Charlie, who was adopted by Katherine and Jim Sutton from Cavalier Rescue in August of 2011 when he was six years old. A purebred Cavalier, he was born in Ireland and shipped to the U.S as a puppy, but he got off to a poor start in life. Charlie spent most of his days in a cage, put on too much weight and developed heart issues and arthritis. He was also deaf. His family eventually had to give him up, which is how he came to Katherine and Jim. “For the almost three years at our house, he found a deeply loving home, cage-free, with lots of exercise and playtime. We knew he had health issues, but we hoped that he would live longer than nine years in total. However, we take solace in knowing that the last third of his life was the happiest and healthiest we could give him.” Remembrance donation by Dean Surkin and Jacqueline Birnbaum, June 2014.

In memory of Goofus: with all his faults we still miss him. Remembrance donation by Betty and Joe Anticaglia, December 2013.
In loving memory of Morty and Skippy, beloved companions of Marcia and Drew Bollard and each other. Morty, a pointer-terrier mix was about 4 months old when adopted from a shelter and was almost 14 years old when he died in May 2013. Skippy, a 4-month old rescue puppy when adopted, died unexpectedly in August 2012 at the age of 8 1/2. Skippy was a mixed border collie who used to love to run in circles out back and chase after balls with Morty. Skippy and Morty became lifelong friends quickly and when one had to go to the vet without the other one the one left at home would pace by the window waiting for the other’s return. Both of them brought a lot of love and joy to the Bollard household and they are both sorely missed. Remembrance donation by Marcia and Drew Bollard, December 2013.
In memory of Mr. Smith, who was more human than cat and left a happy impression on everyone who met him, from the cable guy to his pet sitter, Dianne, and his Aunt Martha and Uncle Michael. His mother, Julie Jacobson, will miss him dearly as he always gave everyone the benefit of the doubt, believing in their best and never their worst. May he play, eat and nap contently in heaven, just as he did here on Earth. Remembrance donation by Judy Wolfe, December 2013.
