 Benji 1994 - 2011 In memory of all our departed canine friends this Christmas....”Run my boy....I give you wings to fly....until we meet again, and cross the bridge together” Carmel 13 December 2011 From Rainbow Bridge at Christmas “And so....from Rainbow Bridge this Christmas, my spirit lives on. I ask that you grieve not at my loss, but rejoice in the fact that I lived, loved and touched your life forever. Here, there is no pain, I suffer not, and the sun shines brightly upon all God’s creatures. I run and play once more, and enjoy all the (naughty!) things I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints, no regrets, no aging. My spirit is free.... yet I still walk by your side....as sure as I physically accompanied you through your joys, sorrows, trials and tribulations for all those years. The best place that you have buried me is in your heart....I left this earth knowing....with the last breath I drew that my fate was always safe in your hands. My pain and struggle is done. Close your eyes, and see my face... think of the times I made you laugh, the love we shared, and the bond we had. I am still here when you call my name... I chose you as my friend and guardian because I was meant for no other. Your flaws and failings existed not....to me you were perfection. You will never walk the earth alone.... I still watch over, protect and guide you as your ever faithful and loyal friend. Patiently, I will wait for the day that you must depart this world. In the distance I will see you, and return joyfully to your side....to walk you home once more... A loan from the creator was I to enrich your life....This... I have done....for with your love I was blessed throughout our journey together...My demands were simple, my needs were few....Love....I asked no more of you.” Benji 1994 - 2011
Chris sadly departed this world on Sunday 25th September, 2011. September, 2011
12 days before Chris died we were requested to remove him from the permanent home he had. A vet report told that his legs were bowed with arthritis, his coat matted & dirty, he was in pain and whilst in care had several epileptic fits. We have to thank Edward, who helped rescue him initially, for taking him into his home, providing him with all his needs, vet care, pain relief, great comfort and much love. He left this world happy, at peace, painfree with dignity and kindness. Chris was such a wonderful, gentle dog & absolutely no trouble whatsoever, so affectionate, obedient and a lick said how grateful he was for the great care he received. Sadly missed. "When you're walking down the street with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind."
"And when it's time for you to go...from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...you're coming here to me."
SADLY WE SAID GOODBYE TO RUBY TODAY.  16.8.2011
Sadly we said goodbye to Ruby today, despite all our efforts and care she finally slipped away peacefully. We console ourselves with the thought that this beautiful, gentle horse, who had suffered so much, knew love, kindness, comfort and care during her time with Mayo Spca. She had the best treatment we could give and had come to the end - at least she did not leave this world in misery, eating stones to keep alive as when we found her. Our thanks to Melissa and Marian who did so much for her. Poor Ruby will be missed as she had been with us since 2010.
Moya – 25th February 2001 to 16th of February 2011 Farewell to the sweetest and most affectionate dog a person could ever have. Moya, you enriched our lives and inspired us in so many ways. You put up a brave fight but your little heart finally gave out on Wednesday morning last. Missing you and all the hugs, kisses, shoulder taps and tummy tickles we shared. However your race is now run, your job is now done. We will always remember and honour you as you enjoy your well earned rest. Sara
 To our darling Molly, whose life was so cruelly taken away in a traffic accident.
You were the best dog EVER and our lives have been shattered. We miss you
so much. We wonder if we will ever smile again........
Thank you Molly, for two wonderful years - you made the world a better place.
God bless little girl.......run free and keep watch over us.

  In Loving Memory of Smidge When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long, and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.
This is a journey that we all must take, and each must go alone.
It’s all part of the Master’s Plan. It’s a step on the road to home.
Miss me, but let me go.
When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.
Fondly remembered always Timmy (2007 – 18 Nov 2010) A most beloved and special pet. Your stay with us, sadly was but too brief. Your gentle ways will forever remain in our thoughts. 
Heidi May 2000 – 1st June 2007 Fondly remembered always C, C & S Grace, Carracastle, Co, Mayo.
 BOXER 2004 - November 2010. Died aged 7 years.
We had him for 6 lovely years and he was rescued by Mayo Spca where we were lucky enough to find him. Boxer was the most beautiful, happy dog one could wish for. He had a special bond with each member of the family since the day we brought him home. A special friend, sadly missed but always remembered. Love you lots Boxer. Michael, Kathleen, Aisling & Patrick xxxx
Bailey 2005-Oct 4th 2010
A Mayo Spca rescue dog who was found at the side of the road at approx 5 weeks of age.
An amazing dog,full of love. She had a huge mothering instinct and used to help me with other kittens and pups
that I was fostering, producing milk for them and treating them as her own. Bailey was one in a million and I will never find another dog like her. My home is just not the same without her. So sadly missed. Lorna Moran.
Lady April 1992 - January 2008 WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
Author Unknown When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me.I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me, As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.But when tomorrow starts without me. Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready, In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love.But, as I turned to heel away, A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for, So many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you.I thought about our lives together, I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had.Remember how I'd nudge your hand, And poke you with my nose?
The frisbee I would gladly chase, The bad guy, I'd "bark and hold".If I could relive yesterday, Just even for awhile, I'd wag my tail and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.But, then I fully realized, That this could never be; For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me. And when I thought of treats and toys,
I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did,
My dog-heart filled with sorrow.But then I walked through Heaven's gate, And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me, From His beautiful golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity, And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past, But here it starts anew.I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last;
For you see, each days's the same day, There's no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful, So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things, You knew you shouldn't do.But good dogs are forgiven, And now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side, And wait right here with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me, I'm right there, in your heart.
 Sadly we said goodbye to Pushkins in March 2010.
He came to us as a starving, terrified kitten and made the most beautiful, gentle, loving creature. Pushkins brought so much love into our lives and will be missed forever.
Annie & Joe.
LADY
Lady died June 2010 aged 16 years
A beautiful pet
Sadly missed by Joan and Noel
Ruby our cat put to sleep last Tuesday (6th April). She was 15yrs old and had a good life but we are still sad and the house seems empty without her. If Tears Could Build A Stairway If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.
My heart's still active in sadness, and secret tears still flow;
What it meant to lose you no one can ever know.
But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times; life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within my heart is where you'll always stay. In Loving Memory of Ruby
Bernie (Dog Rescue Ireland) sadly said goodbye to Tiny this week. Tiny passed away peacefully in her sleep after many years of being such a good friend.

FROM AN OLDER DOG…..TO YOU, IN HOPE……… You glance at me and walk on past and then I hear you say… “He’s too old, mightn’t have him long”….. just because my beard is grey. “We don’t know his past or where he’s been… the neglect he might have had…” and as I cannot talk to you that makes me really sad……..AS………… I may not be that bold youngster you’re desperately searching for or have that puppyish appeal BUT I have SO much more. I don’t chew, don’t wet the floor I can be left a while without destroying all your things or the need to walk for miles…. I will pay you back with all my love for a cuddle and some praise and do my very best for you to brighten up your days. So I ask you now to stop and think while I offer you my paw that perhaps an older friend could be your soul mate evermore? Written by “Woody” McConnachie

GOODBYE With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes
after all these years; we must say goodbye
Please understand; we've done all we could
if there was anything we could do; you know we would
I'm sitting right here; gently rub your ears
while I talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears
The memories you gave us; we'll never forget
especially the ones; of the day we all met
One last hug; and one last kiss
you have no idea; how much you'll be missed
To look into your eyes; this one last time
you tell me it's ok; you know it's your time
Close your eyes now; and go to sleep
we'll pray to the Lord; you're soul he'll keep
Go in peace now; our good friend
we'll stay right here with you; until the end
Dream of that special day and time
when we'll meet at the Bridge; and all will be fine
We'll run and play; side by side
with a soft warm feeling; deep down inside
Your memory will live on; in each one of us
you'll always be number 1; to all of us
Have a safe journey; through the night
I promise when you awake; you'll be in God's light
So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes
just for now my friend; we say goodbye
