In Memory of Our "Babies"
Lightning and Misty Blu
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
Lightning (2005-2007); Misty Blu (2001 - 2007)

We miss them terribly. Our journey together began when we adopted them together as Christmas presents for our sons (we already had 1 cat - Keiko who is still part of our family. Our middle son had been asking for a dog since he began to talk and we decided to adopt Misty (golden retriever/australian shepherd mix)for him - they were the same age! However Misty had a mind of her own and was really a "mommy's girl". She was so beautiful and kind. She kept the cats and kids in line with her herding instincts and let them know gently when they crossed the line. She was comforting us when we were sad, celebrating with us when we were happy and protecting us while we slept. Lightning was adopted for our oldest son who fell in love with this adorable, loving special needs kitty. His ears had curled over from a severe case of mites as a kitten and did not look entirely "normal" but boy was he a cutie! He had the greatest personality! He just loved everyone and everything and found joy every second of the day. We then went on to take in "Pip" (cavelier king charles spaniel) who belonged to a client of mine (I am a CNA) who had Parkinson's and could no longer care for him. Pip is a cute little guy who quickly made friends with all. Lightning passed suddenly with no warning. The veterinarian told us later that he probably suffered from a heart attack which is apparently more common than we would think in young cats. We were all heartbroken. Misty was next - she and Pip accidentally got loose and ran off together. While they stayed together, they both crossed Rte. 9 and unfortunately Misty got hit by a car traveling pretty quick. The driver was extremely remorseful as they were dog lovers (putting Pip in the car to keep him safe while they tended to Misty)- but it was an accident. She was taken to Tufts by animal control immediately and I followed. Her injuries were severe and we would not be able to save her. I was with her as she passed peacefully in my arms - losing another baby. (We had lost 3 human babies as well prior to our furry babies). We know that ALL of our angels are keeping watch over us and we will meet them someday once again. Thank you to all who helped us to have these wonderful pets in our lives even if it was only for a short while. Sincerely,

The Cathcart Family

My sweet baby, you will never be forgotten – you were the “Once in a Lifetime” kind of dog. You left us last night after so many years with us by your side until the end. You were such an inspiration to me. I’ll carry your strength, love and perseverance in my heart forever. The house is so quiet without you – may you rest peacefully and pain free until we see you again. With all our love, Karen and Derek

THE EULOGY

Look not where I was
For I am not there
My spirit is free
I am everywhere

In the air that you breathe
In the sounds that you here
Don't cry for me Mom
My spirit is near

I'll watch for you
From the other side
I'll be the one running
New friends by my side

Smile at my memory
Remember in your heart
This isn't the end
It's a brand new start

November 20, 2007

Our cherished little feline daughter of thirteen years who blessed us with her love, affection and zest for life. She will be soulfully missed forever by Jay, Tara, Morganne and her canine sibs BooBoo & Sushi.

A member of our family right from the very start.
From playful kitten to contented cat.
Left her paw print in our heart.
Her journey came too quickly.
We were so sad to see her go.
Knowing that she's better now helps to soften the blow.
Graceful girl laid down to rest.
Your job down here was done.
Wait for us up by that bridge to greet us one by one.

Jack

October 24, 2007

IN MEMORY OF JACK, MY BEST FRIEND

A part of me died on Oct. 24th when Jack our special need Yellow Lab crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Jack came to us from Second Chance as he was not able to be adopted because of his handicap. Before we got Jack, he had a stroke in his tail which caused him to walk like a drunkin sailor and also lose all bladder and bowel control. Even with all of that, he was still a very loving friend. Since we already had a special needs Scottie, taking care of Jack wasn't a problem. Jack loved to dig holes in the backyard so he could lay in the cool earth. Some holes were so big that all you cold see was his head and he always seemed to be smiling! Jack loved to be hugged and if he saw me sitting down he would back himself between my legs and look back at me like he was was saying "OK, HUG ME''. This was a daily occurance which I will miss dearly. Jack was a happy go lucky Lab who brought so much happiness into my life. He will always be a part of me and will live on in my heart. Thank you Second Chance for bringing Jack into my life.

Ken & Nancy

Second Chance was so very sad to hear of Jack's passing. Many of you supported our efforts to find this wonderful Lab a forever home. He sure did get lucky to find a home that loved him as much as Ken and Nancy did and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

Cosmo
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
September 24, 2007

Cosmo crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Monday, September 24, 2007. His leaving was sudden and unexpected: a few days of not eating, getting even quieter, and then he was gone. Though he had been with the family (canine sister Reeva - left in photo, brother Rookie - right in photo, and myself) only since June, he had fit right in, could be trusted outside on his own, and had taken up residence in the closet! That was his little bed during the day, though at night he would share mine very happily. He had joined us all at Dog Camp this year, taking his Canine Good Citizen classes in stride and enjoying the lovely Vermont sunshine in the mountains – he even made it to the top of Mt. Mansfield in Stowe! (Well, OK, we drove, but still he enjoyed it up there!) Still, for a nine-year old, the whole week of Camp was fun and exciting, and Cosmo came home with ribbons and awards as a Senior Rescue Dog. I’m very glad we had the chance to go to Camp. We all miss him very much; he will live in my heart for a long, long time.

The entire Second Chance Family wishes to extend our sincerest and deepest sympathies to the Bazinet family who lost their beloved Nathan Sept 24, 2007. Nathan was born on Nov. 1, 2003, and was adopted by the Bazinet’s on Jan 20, 2007. He will be missed by all of us. He was cherished by Laura, her family, and his canine brother Willie. He will be waiting patiently at Rainbow Bridge to be once again reunited with them. God Bless you Nathan, we will miss you so.

Miss Kachina
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
May 7, 2007

We lost a very special kitty on 5/7/07. Her name was Kachina and we adopted her from a shelter in RI, where she had been picked up, pregnant with her first heat. She was a petite little kitty who was the sweetest cat I have ever had. She was my constant companion and loved being groomed with a glove brush. She would watch me get ready every morning and had a nice life with Violet, who was born (and later also adopted) the day we adopted Kachina from the shelter. Kachina was only 4 yrs old when she died of an apparent seizure disorder. As certain circumstances led to me feel that Kachina guided me to the shelter to adopt her, the only positive thing about her loss was that we also somehow were guided to Second Chance and the adoption of Sheenie, who desperately needed a home. We will never forget out sweet Kachina, whom we nicknamed "Cheenie". In Hopi, the word Katsina (also Kachina) means "bringer of life". When Kachina crossed the Rainbow Bridge, she seemed to be looking out for her sister Sheenie/Lilith. And for that we are gratetful.

Georgia
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
Born in Ringgold, Georgia 4/6/1998.
Passed away at Tufts in Grafton on 1/28/2007

Georgia was daughter #3 of Second Chance dog care volunteers Kathy and Steve Fothergill. She was a regular attendee of the Walk n Wag since 03. She was a willing mentor to foster house guests Blue, Max, Lucky and Oscar. She loved to watch the walkers on Craig Rd, perched up on her little hill over looking the road - she'd check to make sure we weren't watching and would throw in a few good barks just to let you know she was on duty! She was not fond of the mailman and cats. She made sure that neither got in her yard! She loved her tennis ball, her binky, a good stick, long walks and swimming. She was oure faithful, loyal loving friend. She will be hard to replace and will always be in our hearts as the best dog ever!

Phantom
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
August 7, 1995 - December 28, 2006

Phantom was our first "kid". She was smart, funny, and beautiful. She had the softest ears. She was our constant companion, loved to swim and play ball. She adored our kids and everyone else's and she was so very tolerant. Her favorite place was Sandy Beach on Prudence Island. We have a great many wonderful memories of her - so many that we can't even begin to do this memorial justice except to say that she was the best, best girl and we miss her every day. Thank you for sharing your life and unconditional love with us, Phantom. We love you and we'll see you again.

Muffit and Teddy
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge

We adopted Muffit (pictured left) from your shelter in February of 2004 at age 11. Her previous owner was heartbroken to give her up but was forced to due to health reasons. Sadly we had to put her to sleep September 26, 2006 at age 14 after all the medications we tried for her bad arthritis would not stop her pain. She died in my arms as I told her for the last time how much we all loved her. Her best friend, Teddy (pictured right), passed last year as well. The short time we had together brought us so much joy, and her passing brought us so many tears. We will always remember her with love.

Weeds

June 30, 2006

Weeds, the loyal companion of Kathy Sabina crossed over the rainbow bridge on Friday, June 30, 2006. She was a pound hound that was adopted by her friend in August 1997. Besides her companion she leaves Minnie, Fletcher, Lexie & Bella with whom she made her home. She also leaves grandhumans & many friends who overlooked her hair & drool to give her love & attention. She will be remembered for her unconditional love & for delivering the Telegram & Gazette to her companion every morning before breakfast. Burial was private, may she rest in peace.

Brownie
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
June 7, 2006

You came into our lives on November 22, 2003 and changed us forever. We thought we rescued you but in so many ways you rescued us. We will miss your funny "Brownie dance" and your whine when you were excited. On car rides you would sit in the back seat and rearrange your blanket. There is too much room in the bed now; we miss you stretched out between us with your head on one of our pillows. The house is quiet these days without your basset hound howl. On June 7, 2006 we did what we had to do out of love for you. You will live in our hearts forever.

Meg and Steven K.

Second Chance was greatly saddened to hear of Brownie's passing and our hearts are with Meg, Steven and Lady.

Max
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
December 6, 2005

It is with such sadness and pain that I tell you that my beloved Max died yesterday. He passed away quietly, in my arms, with candles lit and soft music playing. I was fortunate to have had him in my life for 3 years, 2 months and 23 days, and even though I was not ready to say goodbye, it was time...I loved him so much-- he was Brave, and Beautiful-- and I miss him terribly. Thank you for bringing him into my life.

Karon M.

Second Chance was greatly saddened to hear of Max's passing. Many of you may remember him as well as the cat who was found tied out in the woods, near death. We are so very grateful to Karon for giving him his forever home.

Roxie
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
September 23 2000 - August 14, 2005

Where do I start? Roxie was the best dog we ever had. She was a pitbull/boxer mix that we adopted from the Auburn dog officer. From the day we brought her home until the day we had to put her to sleep, she remained the most loving and dedicated dog we have ever seen. We live on a horse farm, and many of the borders have dogs, so at a given time there was 5 or more dogs around and she loved them all. She loved belly rubs and her toys. She loved going to Cape Cod or just going for rides to the store. When it came time to clip her nails, all I did was pull out the clippers and she would roll over and hand me her first paw to be clipped. She was truly a one-of-a-kind dog.

On August 1, 2005 Roxie began vomiting so we brought her to the vet. They wanted us to leave her for additional testing and x-rays. A few hours later the vet called us up and told us she needed to go to Tufts immediately. Roxie had a foreign body obstruction ( mini stuffed animal) in her upper intestines and a severe case of pancriatitis. She was brought to Tufts and a surgery was performed. She recovered from surgery but then began vomiting one day later. She was not responding to medical management. She was taken to surgery 3 days after the first surgery to re-explore the abdomen. Everything looked normal, there was no further obstructions. Roxie's blood pressure began to climb very high and was not responsive to therapy. After blood and urine testing Roxie was further diagnosed with glomerulonephritis (GN) which is an immune mediated disease. GN has a very poor prognosis and Roxie would need to be continually medically managed and monitored by an internal medicine specialist. On August 10th, Roxie was discharged to our care with the understanding that as her condition declines we would bring her to our regular vet for humane euthanasia.

Roxie came home and as sick as she was, she still was happy to be home to see her friends.We spent four very hard days by her side and on August 14th we could see her getting really bad and wanted to end it, before she was severely suffering. It was a very tough couple weeks for my wife and I. We live in Brookfield and we went to Tufts in Grafton every single day so we could visit her. Roxie had touched the lives of many people and will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

Our Beloved Kayci
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
April 25, 2005 at 7:30 pm

Our lives will never be the same again...
She under went emergency surgery on Sunday only to die from complications. Our lives were so blessed by having her in it. It feels so empty now...
Every day was more special by us loving her and receiving her love in return.
She was our beautiful baby...from the first time we met...meeting her new Dad at the door wagging that beautiful tail of hers.
To have her bump us in the back of the knee to try and get us to chase her around with her football...enriching our lives every day by being with her. She taught us how to throw a Frisbee and we needed to be able to throw it high and far.
Nightime is so lonely without her to cuddle up with us in bed. She always gave us her unconditional love.
Her vocabulary understanding was beyond belief...she was so smart it got so Dick and I had to spell some words. She was so human to us. If she heard the word soup she came and waited for it to be ready. Beach time for her was one of her favorite times...she loved to jump the waves and chase the seagulls.
We knew how happy she always was to have us home...we return now to a silent place. I hope that those of you who knew her well with have your own special memories. We were so blessed to be her Mom and Dad.
Kayci, we love you and will always miss you.

Many of the volunteers at Second Chance had met Kayci and our hearts go out to Joanne and Dick.

Harry (fka Georgie)
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
December, 2004

Harry started getting what we thought was a third eyelid infection in late August. When that treatment didn't help, they did a biopsy and it turned out to be cancerous. His eye was removed in Oct. He was doing great. Didn't miss the eye at all, more playful and outgoing. Then we started noticing alot of food in his water dish. I took him back to the vets. His reflex to swallow seemed to be gone (probably the cancer had affected his brain or nervous system). We tried steriods but it really didn't help. I finally decided that the poor guy had been through enough. I couldn't let him literally starve himself to death. He was put to sleep about 3 weeks ago. He was such a great cat for the short time I had him. He's the first cat I'd had in about 9 years. My other Dobe hated cats. Before that we always had a cat in the house (at one time 4). He slept with me every night and had to sit on your lap all the time. Even if you were trying to read, he just crawled on top of your book. Everyone at the vets office kind of got attached to him too. He was just such a nice cat.. Thanks for Harry. If I had known what would have happened, I'd still have adopted him. This is the last picture I have of Harry (Georgie) and our dog Kaiser. They got to be good friends. I really miss him.

Always, Deb O'Brien

Second Chance was saddened to hear of Harry's passing. Volunteers knew him as Georgie, a sleek black cat who was very sweet and loving.

Apollo

October, 2004

I just wanted you to know that my dog Apollo, the Doberman, died on October 18th. He had a heart attack on my bed. He did not suffer. It was over very quick (about 6 seconds). He was an awesome dog and I miss him terribly.

Cocoa
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
July 8, 2004

When we found Cocoa as a 6 yrs old, a victim from a bitter divorce, she had been at her second home for only a few days. The home who took her in was not accepting of a her very few quirks, one of which was that she liked food......a lot; not just her food, but anybody's. When we got Cocoa, she was underweight and her fur matted; this explained some of her food quirks. Cocoa had been tied to a table and left alone most of her days from her divorced family.

Her first steps into our home, up the stairs she went, jumped into our bed next to my husband who was sleeping....she was home. Cocoa gave us all of her love and appreciation. Though she could clear a tray of cinnamon rolls in one sweep, we learned quickly that instead of Cocoa adapting to us, that there were times that we had to adapt to her; we kept our food up high or guarded with the "you snooze and you loose attitude."

A month back, what our first vet thought was old age, on a second opinion turned out to be cancer. There was nothing we could do, but make Cocoa comfortable; we chose to do that instead of having her put to sleep. Every week our new vet called to check on her; when we knew in our hearts it was time, we made the most difficult decision to have her put to sleep in our home. We miss Cocoa, quirks and all.

Brooke
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge

Delivered and hand carried to the beach by Diane, Brooke was adopted in June of 2001. She was so very soft furred - part tiger and part Maine Coon, but she was very skittish. Although she avoided adults, she loved my grandchildren, Nicholas and Christina. Christina was the first one she purred for and they became great buddies from the beginning. She didn't seem to mind dogs and other cats but was very afraid of adults. It took about 4 months to get her to stop cowering when I would raise my hand to pet her. By the end of her life she became very lovey. I think I should have renamed her "Springer". She was quick as lightening when she wanted to leave your presence. She had a hard time with the polyp in her ear. She was operated on twice in September and the last time showed she had cancer. She had a peaceful last few months and died during the coldest part of January. My dad was able to use the back-hoe and bury her with our other family pets, but she will be remembered for all the joy and company she gave me and my family.

Seamus
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
2000 - February 2004

Seamus's journey to Second Chance was by way of three different owners. His first left him with another family member who did not want him so they let him go. Found by a good samaritan and ultimately adopted by her, Seamus spent a couple weeks trying to adjust to the strange, furry feline that resided in the household, but he had never been around cats and they just couldn't figure out how to get along. So the kind hearted lady surrendered sweet Seamus to Second Chance. This red-coated Golden proved to be happy, friendly, and loving - so true to his breed. While he was with Second Chance, he developed a bladder infection which we began treating him for, but we soon realized that he would be best served by purebred rescue so he was transferred to Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue. YGRR continued treating him, but he was not responding to the anitbiotics. They switched to a stronger medication, but still Seamus showed no improvement. YGRR brought him for additional tests and during exam the vet found a tumor on his liver. During surgery to remove the tumor, they discovered that the cancer in had spread throughout his body. Seamus quiety crossed the Rainbow Bridge. This soft hearted fellow will be remembered by all of us who knew him and allowed ourselves to be touched by his wonderful spirit. Good-bye Seamus.

Miss Cutie Petutti
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
1997 - December 30, 2003

Six years ago brought home in a box
A baby beaver you were not
It's your kitty Ed you'll feed water and litter
Petutti knew mom would do it without bitter
I'll run and scamper, skid, and slide
I'll climb the Christmas tree just for a hide
She'll never find me as I peek
Through the branches and leap at her feet
She's going to love me I'll melt her heart
I'll talk with her daily she'll see I'm quite smart
I'll bring her presents a mouse here and there
I'll meow at the door with a constant stare
She'll be so proud of me when she sees what I've brought
She'll hardly contain herself, it's only a start
I'll peek through the window when I want to come in
She'll come running to open. this is a win win
I'll come running when she calls me, no matter how far
I'll meow through the woods so the door stays ajar
Some nights I'm out hunting, I like to do that
I'll meow by her window so she'll know I'm her cat
Get up mommy and let me in
It's been a long night my dinner's wearing thin
Just a treat or two right next to the stove
I'll lead you to it, I don't mean to boast
I'll wait for the big guy next the bathroom door
Just watch me lead him down to the next floor
With his big hands a fresh fist of food
My tummy is full and sleep is the mood
I knew they would love me
What more could they ask
A companion, a mouser
I'm much more than a cat!
Miss Cutie Petutti known by many
You've stolen my heart and left it empty

Ginger
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
July 1990 - October 2003

We said goodbye to our loving cocker spaniel yesterday. I'm at a lost for words when I have to think of a single moment in time that our Ginger didn't impact our lives. We got her 13 yrs. ago at Wickaboug Veterinary Clinic when no one seemed to want her, she had many issues that made her a throw away, she was a fear biter, had food issues and she would either bite and/or urinate if you came down to pet her too fast. We had so many people say I think you should just put her down. Well my friend I have to say we stuck through all of it and she was the best friend with 4 legs I have ever met. We lost her Boston Terrier sister Brandy 3 short months ago, I feel in my heart she is up with her and they are comforting each other over the loss of their human family, this breaks my heart. I think Ginger gave us so much joy and not once ever asked for anything in return. We will forever look back and wonder if in some way she is trailing behind. We love you and send you over the Rainbow Bridge.

Doug, Brenda, Tiffany and Tyler Wood

Brandy
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
January 1994 - July 2003

Brandy was full of life she didn't leave our side, she loved her knotted rope and could hang on to that rope and pull Tyler around for hours not to mention our neighborhood kids, Luke and Jack. She loved playing ball, not catch I mean I want your ball so I can pop it, if you had a ball she would chase that ball around till it was hers, so if you had a ball you wanted, hide it because here comes Brandy. Our daughter Tiffany kept her toys hidden or no one would of gotten any sleep, she would cry below your feet at any hour demanding a game of tug a war. She was a wonderful younger sister to Ginger our 13 yr. old Cocker Spaniel, she would get that old girl outside and want to get her to be involved with all of us, I truly believe she thought she was a puppy. I can tell you as long as I live we will never find a dog that was so loyal and giving as our Brandy Girl.

She had epilepsy and was being treated with Phenobarbitol twice a day for the last 4 months of her life, we saw her go from a dog with a will to live to a dog that just existed and that my friend was one of the hardest family decision I ever had to make, in two days she became a vegetable and I wasn't willing to let her die that way. She is at peace and looking down over us, hoping to some day be joined together once again. She will forever have a piece of our hearts with her in heaven. We love you.

Bijou
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
Sometime in 2000 - May 2, 2003

Bijou was left tied to a pound fence back in April, apparently abandoned by her family. This little three year old sweety was taken into foster care after her first seizure. A blood workup showed nothing obvious and she was placed on anti-seizure medication. Bijou continued to have seizures even while on the medication. Her foster mom, Diana, comforted Bijou through her seizures. Finally, when Bijou went four days without a seizure, we thought she was finally responding to the medication. Then she took a turn for the worse and experienced un-relenting seizures during the night. Again, Diana stayed with her and made her as comfortable as possible, but her little body was shutting down and there was nothing the vets could do for her. Bijou crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We know she is at peace now and we'll see her again one day. For more information on canine seizure disorders, visit these sites:

Commander Cody
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
Sometime in 2002 - March 22, 2003

February 20, 2003, Cody arrived at Second Chance from local animal control after no one came to claim him. This 1 year old Blue Tick Coonhound was starved for love and training. He was placed with an experienced foster mom, Darlene, who eagerly took him under her wing. His very first day in foster care, Cody had a seizure. A vet visit and blood work showed no immediate cause for the seizure and he was placed on Phenobarbitol, an anti-seizure medication. His seizures seemed to be under control. Over the next several weeks, Cody made great progress in his foster home. He went on many walks, played with his foster brothers and sisters, and always looked forward to long walks in the woods. Tragically, on the morning of March 22, Cody had another seizure. This time he did not recover. His foster mom rushed him to the vet, but his seizure continued for over an hour, and the medications would not stop it. Commander Cody crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We miss him terribly, but know he is at peace waiting for the day when he will see us again. For more information on canine seizure disorders, visit these sites:

Keno (aka Mozie)
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge
Unknown - September 5, 2001

Second Chance is devastated by the loss of Keno, the sweet, loving Rottweiler that came under our care last year after he was found at a local pound. Many of you may remember Keno's story, many of you contributed generously to his surgeries, many of you cared deeply about this dog. He appreciated you by living his life to the fullest in an excellent, loving home after his recovery. We honor him today as he crosses the Rainbow Bridge after losing his battle with advanced liver disease. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Sylvia and Carole, Keno's caring owners. Keno will be greatly missed.
