| Hamilton (Hammy) |
 HamiltonIn memory of Hamilton, who will always be "my puppy" - and a special thanks to Pam Glasser, DRNA rep in SC, for the use of her poem! I see that you are sad today Because my body died But I am here beside you And will remain by your side. I love you more than life For all you gave to me No matter what I did in life You loved and cared for me. I am never leaving you Can you feel me near? By your side my spirit stays Until you join me here. Forever we will be together In whatever lies ahead God in Heaven knows my heart It belongs with my best friend. |

| Hank |
Hank was our first Dachshund to adopt. Hank was blind but no one would ever have known it, he took each day and lived it to the fullest. Hank will always hold a special place in our hearts.
I hope you are in a better place and have lots of animals to destuff and remove the squeaker out of. Mommy and Daddy will miss you, and know that even though we have adopted another dog, you are irreplacable. Rest in peace Hankie baby.. |
| Harry |
Our Harry adopted us from DRNA in November 2004. He was a runaway from West Virginia and luckily he found his way to DRNA, and to our house! Only God knows what he went through before our skinny, scrawny little boy found us. He immediately became attached to both of us, and he became our only child. He was such a gentle soul--except when it came to treats, don't take those away! He had a serious case of OCD, he would always put all of his toys and bones in a pile together. We were lucky to be able to take him to the beach a few times, where he just loved running up and down the beach chasing birds. There was not a person that he met who did not remark what a great dog he was.
But most of all, Harry gave us so much love and allowed us to love him so much. He was a family member that we still miss dearly. It is amazing how unconditional love feels, both to give and receive. We thank Harry for that gift. Harry left us on September 30, 2009, when his tired heart valves finally gave out. His final gift to us was that he went quickly to the Rainbow Bridge and that he let us know we did not have to make that decision for him. He will always be in our hearts as our first child. It's a quiet house without your pitter-patter, Harry, and we miss you and love you so much. Marco and Sara DaSilva |

| Hershey |
 HERSHEY, red mini, born October 2,1980, passed away of old age on November 30, 1999, at the age of 19 years.
Hershey was my best friend for 19 years. I miss him dearly and think of him daily. Hershey loved to lie in the sunshine and snuggle under the covers. His favorite food was spaghetti and his favorite desert was ice cream. Hershey loved to play tug-of-war with an old pair of my panty hose tied into many knots. He tolerated bathing but would rather bite than take any kind of medicine. I was bitten more than once but still loved him thru it all, as he loved me thru my good and bad times. Hershey, I promise we'll be together once more someday. I know you'll be waiting for me at rainbow bridge. |

| Holly |
Holly Van Dervort - 1996 - 9/22/2008 (picture with Noel attached on our last trip to Lake Eerie in August)
I find myself thinking about our beloved little girl, our peanut, our Simba, our precious Holly - and missing her terribly. She loved to run like the wind, she loved to take long walks through Central Park, she loved car rides, she loved to play with her brother and sister (and boss them around), she loved to smile, she loved to snuggle, and she loved to give you kisses. She didn't even mind playing dress up. Holly was so young - even when she was incapacitated by a back injury, she would scoot around the house and drag her little body over to where she wanted to sit, where she wanted to sleep, where she wanted to burrow - you know because she felt she was human. We lost our Holly to an incurable rare cancer - and we mourn. We will always hold Holly deep in our hearts - a dear friend of mine told me "Cry because it's over, while you smile because it happened." Holly has been released from any pain and is now running, and burrowing and free! We will see her again. Thank you Holly for gracing our lives - and giving us such happiness and unconditional love. You will be missed and loved forever. Thank you. Share VanDervort |
