Until we meet again my friend, I will always love you and be looking around the corner for you to be there. I love you, Mister Man...you will be missed by all. <3 ur momma.

Throughout the first couple of months after you passed away, I visited your site to feel close to you again and many times it made me sadder because I couldn't pet you anymore or hold you in my arms as I once had. I only wish that I could have made things better for you and that you wouldn't have gotten so sick that not even medicine could help you. I am happy that we found peace in knowing you are in a better place and not suffering. I will forever love you, Charlie. (Message combined from 8/20/2008-12/13/2008 I love you, Charlie, and will forever miss you!)

This is the first year that you're actually gone and seemed to be more difficult than the first full month you were gone. I managed to hold on to your memory while completing college, getting married, buying a house, and opening my heart and home to a new furbaby - who more than likely would not have gotten along with you. But still, I am happy that you are no longer in pain or suffering from the illness that took you from me. I love you and miss you, baby boy :o) (Message combined from 06/03/2009-12/18/2009)

As the years tick by, I realize that you have now been gone for two years. From celebrating the one-year birthday of Chloe to sadly remembering the day I had to take the sad drive to the emergency vet clinic and say goodbye to you as they admitted you. Remembering that I told you, I'd be back and you'd be okay. Those words haunt me even today as I think about how sad you looked as though you realized that it was too late and we couldn't make you better. As of August 22, 2010, Eddy (my husband)'s cat (Gwenie) passed away tonight. Please look for her and let her know she's okay. I hope that you know that I will always love you and cherish our memories together as you helped me through some of the hardest times in my life. You're dear to me and will always be loved. 'Til we meet again my little man. I love you! (Message combined from 7/20/10 - 8/22/2010)

Each year passes making it a little easier to come and see you lying comfortably on your blanket. Now coasting passed three years since you've passed away. I can tell that you gave me the strength to love again. In 2011, we introduced Chloe to the newest edition of our family, Tallie. Who just like you and Chloe, was a rescue. She quickly fell in love with the house, Eddy, and mommy but, Chloe didn't like her at first. It took some time, then they came around. I am certain you would have watched that from afar and chuckle to yourself. Please watch over the new editions to Rainbow Bridge as more furbabies come home. I love you and miss you, Char-Char.

All I can say is OMG, it has now been four years since you passed away. This year is a somber year - in January, Charlie the Border Collie lost his battle to bone cancer and is now a resident at Rainbow Bridge with you. Please look for him and keep him safe. His passing has made my dad a little depressed, but in February he was able to adopt a new furbaby and open his heart and mind to another Border Collie named Dylan. If you think Charlie was playful, you would have been a little upset with Dylan because he would probably nip at your ears to get you to play more. Chloe and Tallie are doing well, they have begun to love each other like siblings do and have managed to tolerate each other's personalities. Chloe is the first of our two kitties who helped me heal and remember mostly happiness with you and Tallie has cemented herself in my heart as you and Chloe have with your love and the times that you loved me back.

Hey buddy! Life is getting easier until that day comes when I am reminded of that awful ride I took to try and make you better. I lost your puppy body that day but, I didn't lose your soul or what you've given me in my heart. I will forever love you and will see you again. It's amazing how quickly things have changed and where I've gone. I trust you're doing wonderfully wherever you are. I am always thinking about you when something reminds me of what you would have done or a pup looks like you. Thank you for the love you showed me and the help you gave me. I love and miss you, Char-Char. (Message combined up to 7/19/2013)

How crazy? You've been a resident of Rainbow Bridge since 2008 and each year I remember you as you were not as you left me. I still miss and love you, buddy. Until we meet again. (7/20/2015)

My little man, it's officially been 10 years since I made that heartbreaking decision to send you to the bridge. I miss you so much. You have sent me two beautiful kitties to love as much as I loved you. Thank you, my friend. Love always momma. (7/20/2018)

Hey buddy, today was the most heartbreaking day of my life eleven years ago. I had to say goodbye to my best friend and road companion. And now your momma is preparing for another road trip with her babygirl, Tallie while making big changes in her life. Look over me and Tallie and keep us safe. I love you, Charlie. And still, miss you every day, buddy! Love always momma. (7/20/2019)

Twelve seems so long ago and I hope you know that momma made that hard decision for you. I know you're not in pain any longer but, mommy misses you dearly. If it weren't for your human grandparents and Tallie - momma isn't sure how she could heal her heart after the loss of you. I sure hope you're watching over momma as she makes yet another change in her life. Miss & love you always. (7/20/2020).

Wow! Thirteen years seems like a lifetime already. Both Tallie and momma have settled in a new state and city. Getting used to new surroundings and sounds. Tallie is loving the run of the house. August was tough for momma, she said bye-bye to her momma and then, on September 17, she got the news that Chloe Bears was sick and sent to Rainbow Bridge. She is one of the newest residents. Meet her and be nice to her. My sorrow seems to be filled to the core for July, August, and now September. Sad months for mom! I love and miss you, my momma, and my Chloe Bears. Hugs little man. (9/24/2021)

The sting of your passing plays out in my mind every year that passes. I still feel the pain as I had to say good bye to be buddy and best friend. Life goes on but, even with new furbabies filling momma's heart...I'm still very heartbroken that you passed away since you still had plenty of years ahead of you to be with momma. The next few months will be filled with changes for momma again - and I just need to push through. Although my Chloe Bears passed away and my momma - I have things that remind me of those who have left too soon. I was gifted my mom's cat, Abby, who simply has a funny personality. She's filled with mischief and play - seems to get along with Tallie but, my little girl is getting older and not as playful as she used to be. I hope that when Tallie's time comes you will meet her at Rainbow Bridge and show her around and where she can find Chloe Bears. I love you baby boy. Hope you got your angel wings now. <3 (7/20/2023)

Well, we've been separated now for 16 years! I hope you've gotten settled into your new place until we meet again my sweet boy! I miss you and remember all our adventures. You were the best doggie soul I could ever ask for. Love you to the moon and back, Char-Char! Keep looking down on momma! <3 (7/20/2024)
