"WALLY BUGGER" (06-04-03 - 07-28-08)

September 24th, 2005 was a warm, New England fall day……A day a dog named Wally would start a new life.

When Michael and I arrived at the adoption location to pick up our Wally, we walked to the back of the room, and there in a tiny cage sitting quietly was this pathetic, hairless, sickly shar-pei named Wally. My heart broke for Wally. Michael and I completed the necessary paperwork and got Wally out of there as soon as possible. We gave Wally water, fed him, and got him settled in the car for the journey back to our house in CT.

"TUFFY"

This is me, Tuffy. Mom bought me from a breeder in South Carolina, and brought me home as I was only 8 weeks old. For the longest they would call me Puppy and I started listening to it. Marcel, who was my buddy, finally named me "Tuffy". He thought I was strong and had my own mind - yes I did. They couldn't keep me from climbing stairs, not even the gate was helpful. I also found out that dirty underwear and socks are a great things to play with, and after I learned to turn that hamper over, there was no stopping.

"MOCHA"

My name is Mocha, and I must share my story to help all the doggies out there, who may need my help.

My life started as good as any. I had my mom and brothers and sisters. I thought I had a good life. I lived over 7 years. Until about 2 weeks ago. I suddenly found myself in a kind of jail. I was in a cell with 2 big dogs and they were eating most of my food. I cried for my people. Where are you? I just wanted to go home.

"CHATIZIER"

Chatizier was left by a neigbor, I was taking care of her and her male companion. The neighbor returned from Louisanna and retrived the male and left Chatizier behind in the apartment. She was my girlfriend and the most lovable friend anybody could ever have. After having her approximatley 1 1/2 years she developed Cancer. My life was changed when she came into it, and will never be the same since she has gone. I miss my girlfriend terribly.

"MR. ED" (1993 - 2006)

Mr. Ed, or Fast Eddie was a delight to live with for 13 years. He made my wife and our kids' life wonderful each day. He was a pound pup and rescued.

Together he completed our life as a true friend, and sweet disposition. It has been two years and I miss him still. He was my bestest friend in the world. Here he was with our new babe, Georgia.

Mr Ed  
 

"MAXX" (1994 - 2008)

Hello, I happened to stumble upon your site tonight. I was happy but very sad for we just lost our sweet boy of almost 14 years last week.

In our first year of marriage we got Maxx. Our intention was to get a real barker as we had recently had one of our vehicles vandalized. Turns out Maxx snored louder then my husband! He loved our boys like they were his own puppies. At night he would follow me to their rooms and snore on the floor while I fed and changed them or tended to various illnesses. Every morning, he would wait outside their doors so he could be the first to greet them when we walked in. The bond he shared with our boys was so amazing.

Maxx

We love you, Maxx, and miss you terribly... Jamie

"WRINKLES"

On Oct. 4th 2008 we lost our beloved Pei Boy Wrinkles Pugh Audet AKA Igy Minkies, he was 3 1/2 years old and was hit by a car. He sustained too many injuries to be saved and had to be euthanized. That was the hardest thing we ever had to do. He was the most beautiful, sweetest and smartest liitle boy in a wrinkled costume. We will miss him always, but will remember him with love. Until we meet again. Your family Mom Jani, Austin, Skip, Charlene, Mindy, Steve, Joshy, and Grandma Elvia.

"BECCA"

Becca trotted into my life in early 1996 when she was picked up on the street as a stray. Within two hours of coming to my house she had made it her home. The vet estimated her age at 3 years and she was my best companion for the next 11 years. Becca never wanted anything more than to spend time with me. Well, that and a warm place in the sun. She was a great dog, and I miss her.

"SAMMY" (2005 - 2007)

Today we lost a friend. Sammy, you captured our hearts with our first meeting. You were a beautiful, beautiful boy. Sweet Sammy, maybe now you can run and play at the Bridge like you should have been able to do here on earth. There are other friends that have gone before you - enjoy them now and one day we will come for all of you. Papa Joe and Mama Debi

"ROSE MARIE" (ROSIE)
(Oct 1992 � Oct 2007)


This proud lady lived to be 15 (that�s 105). Born in China & brought to Florida to be a breeder dog, I became her human after the kennel decided her pups where not good enough to be show quality. There were some issues adjusting to a family life after being stuck in a kennel for her 1st 3 years of life, but we made up for lost time. She traveled and lived in Florida, Wisconsin & Texas before coming home to Florida.

Rosie
She always greeted me with the happiest barks. Rosie. I miss you & know you will be waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge.
 
 

"BIZKIT" (12-8-99 - 7-3-07)

This is a pic of my baby girl Bizkit. She got very sick and we put her to sleep in July. We were with her the whole way and it was as nice of an experience as could be expected under the circumstances. I know she is much happier free of the body that was just giving out on her. We had her for seven beautiful years and I want to adopt again, I'm just hesitant because I feel like I might compare the new dog to Bizkit...

BizKit
I need to just get over it and get a new girl, because I miss coming home and being greeted with all that love - nothing like it in the world.
 
 

"JEFFERSON"
(12-19-1996 to 6-20-2007)


Jefferson, our first Shar Pei love, we will never forget you. We still miss you every day and cry for you often. You introduced us to the intelligence, loyalty, wit and love of your breed, and we so hope pets will be in heaven with us. We love looking at pictures of you hiking with us on the Pacific Crest Trail, enthroned in the softest spot in the house, and patrolling our yard. Your brother Kona misses you too -- we reminisce about watching the two of you tear around the yard in LBM (low butt mode).

Jefferson
Your collar hangs in a place of honor. It still smells like you and has your beautiful cream hairs all over it. We did everything we could to heal you, and we will love you always.
 
 

"SHIRLEY"
(October 2000-March 2007)


My little "pumpkin" Shirley, how grieved I am that you are no longer with me. I am honored that I had the privilege of taking care for you after I rescued you and your sister. I am sorry that I could not rescue you from the cancer that took your life too early. I will always remember how you looked out the window for me each night waiting for me to come home and when I finally did how your whole body shaked with happiness and excitment to see me. You loved to chase salamanders and your tennis ball, be my navigator in the car when we took our rides, and sleep on our bed each night on your comforter. Your sister and I miss you very much. I think about you everyday my sweetie. I appreciate the comforting sign that you and God sent to me from Heaven to let me know that you are okay.

I know that one day you will meet me on the "Rainbow Bridge" along with your sisters, past, present, and future.

Lucy
But always know that you have a special place in my heart forever...you will always be my precious little "pumpkin."
 
 

"LUCY" (1998 - 2007)

Lucy, my little girl, my baby, my angel. We had many happy days together, but it ever won't be enough. You died 09.28.07 of cancer. You were 9 years old. I can't stop crying. I will miss you very much and will never forget you . I love you, your mom.

Lucy  
 

"MR. ZIGS"

Ziggy was my bestest boy, and I love him dearly. It hurts to be without him, especially since his precious little life was cut so short. But I will never forget him and how he used to do his special little dance around our bedroom and chase his pei sisters around the house. He loved going for walks and curling up on the couch with me at night. We'd sit together for hours, while I petted his soft head and he slept snugly in my arms.

I miss those times with him, and I hope someday there's a cure so no more pei's lose their lives to this horrible disease.

"TEMPERA"
(March 1995-April 2006)


Tempera, aka- MooMoo, born 3-1-95 and died 4-5-06, she was 11 yrs old. She died of kidney failure. Some say their dog is their best friend, but when I say she was my best friend, she truly was. Whenever I was sick, sad, or lonely she knew it, she would be right there at my side licking me in the face as if she was saying it would be alright mom and that I miss the most.

"MAX"
(Aug 2002-Nov 2004)


Max was my first Shar-Pei who died at 27 months old of cancer. Max, mom and dad still miss and love you very much. Your picture still sits on our desks at work so we can remember the joy you brought into our lives. Losing you was so hard and I still cry over losing you.

In your memory your dad and I decided to dedicate our lives to saving as many Shar-Pei as we can for the one we loved and lost. We needed something good to come out of losing you at such a young age. In your memory many dogs have been given a chance for a great life like the one you should have had. One day I hope to be with you again.

In loving memory of MAX, Amy

Max  
 

"LEAHY"

I miss my best friend Leahy who died on March 29, 2006 of cancer.

She meant the world to me and there is not a day that goes by I don't think of her. I know god is taking care of her now.

Leahy  
 

"SOPHIE HELEN"
(Aug 1998-May 2007)


Sophie Helen was my beautiful Shar Pei who lost her battle with cancer this past May. She also lost her sight in 2003 but you'd never know it. She was such a trooper.

She gave EVERYONE kisses and lots of love. I especially miss her greetings when I'd walk through the door and when she would curl up next to me in bed. I miss your shmushy face!

I love you Sophie!

Sophie Helen  
 

"FRED"

We first got our Sharpei (FRED) from a close friend that said he needed a home. We decided to keep him and he was the most wonderful dog and we just loved him.

He lived until he was 7 then died unexpectedly. It was the saddest day of our lives and we miss him dearly.

We miss you Fred!!!

Fred  
 

"TOOTSIE"
(July 1998-December 2005)


"Happy Birthday Little Girl" I still remember the night Alex brought you home. You looked just like a Tootsie Roll, all dark & wrinkly. You became such a part of our lives and loved to ride in the car and especially the boat. Sharpeis are not supposed to like water but you would jump right on the sandbar & chase the seagulls non-stop.

"BRANDY"
(a.k.a. "MOMMA DOG")


On May 13, 2007, Brandy and Jan were in a car accident in Savannah, GA. Unfortunately, my baby girl, Brandy did not survive the circumstances surrounding the accident. We did our best to hope for a happy outcome for Brandy and I vowed to keep her safe and cared for until Jan had recovered and was able to take her home. That was not to be. I'm not sure why Brandy's life had to end so soon. I keep asking myself that question. Why would God put such a spectacular creature here on earth for such a short period of time? Why was her short life so tragic and difficult? Her suffering was unnecessary. Yet, it never changed her personality. She was happy and goofy and delightful. Full of life and anxious to explore all it had to offer.

She was appreciative and clever and loving. She gave me hope for a better world.
