In Loving Memory

Zoe was a one in a million dog who radiated joy and was enthusiastic about life right up until the very end. Anyone who met her couldn’t help but fall in love with her and we were lucky to call her ours. She’ll be in our hearts forever and will be deeply missed.

A wild girl soon became citified. Always needed her loving, feeding and adventures in the backyard. Missed every day. No one to walk with along the garden with, or sit outside enjoying our own little paradise. Much missed terribly.

She found us all the way from Puerto Rico and she was with us for over 14 years. She had the cheekiest little personality and kept us laughing. For having such a rough start in life, she was one of the most joyful dogs I have ever met. While she took a while to warm up to strangers, she certainly loved her peeps and showed us with lots of snuggles and antics. I really miss petting her beautiful fur which is one of the softest things I’ve ever felt. She will be forever remembered and missed deeply.

Thank you again for all your care with us and Karma.

Kay and I really appreciated the care and gentle touch that you provided to Ellie and to us during yesterday’s difficult session. We are both relieved and thankful that Ellie left us in such a peaceful and painless way. It was a difficult decision but the two of you helped make it bearable for us. Also, thank you for the donation in memory of Ellie.

I attached one of our favorite photos of Ellie. It captures her fun personality and sweet disposition. She was the most lovable and trouble-free pet that we ever had. Everybody loved Ellie.

We will be sure to recommend Resting Paws to our friends! 🙂

Today I said goodbye to my best friend. 17 years is a long time to have something so special in your life. He’s been many things to me that goes beyond a companion. An amazing support, an escape artist, a pain in the ass, the best adventure buddy anyone could ever ask for, a motivator to exercise, my fur child, the smartest dog in the dumbest ways possible, my scavenger, a 200 lb personality in a 28 lb body, my protector, little snore buckets, my bear…it goes on. Both pictures or words can’t describe the love I have for you, or the precious memories I’ll always cherish, and I can’t be grateful enough for the love you’ve given me and how you’ve enriched my life for all of these years. You’ve been nothing but amazing and have more than earned your final journey to peace…Rest easy my sweet boy, you’ll always be in my heart ❤️

Your team is so amazing, they made our girl feel comfortable and the cheese burger was brilliant.
Mirra was such a special girl, always up for an adventure, always by my side. I have so many memories of all the fun we had together, and I’m grateful that I got to be her person. I miss her every day, but I know she’s not hurting anymore.
Thank you again for helping us through this hard time.
Erin, Chris & Evan.

Sam ❤️ she was the sweetest girl.

I have so much gratitude for your team❤️. From Wendy being so supportive to help facilitate to having the support at home. Truly beautiful and exactly what I wanted.
Vanessa and Heather were so compassionate and professional you hardly knew they were here giving us our time and space.
I thank you for time. My house is quiet and lonely and will take time.🤗

Penny, our sweet girl,
you came to me on the breath of winter,
before the snow fell—
a small guardian with a fierce heart
and a gentle soul.

For sixteen years,
you have walked beside me.
Through every change,
every heartbreak,
every joy—
you have been my protector,
my comfort,
my truest companion.

We grew together,
healed together,
held each other close.
And now,
We give you our final gift—
freedom,
peace,
and dignity.

May your crossing be gentle,
wrapped in love.
May you be received across the rainbow bridge with open arms.
May your spirit stretch and soar—
whole and free,
tail high,
eyes bright,
proud of the life you lived with us.

You have left pawprints on our hearts
that time will never fade.

Go now, beloved,
across the rainbow bridge.
The wind is at your back,
the earth cradles your rest,
and the stars are waiting to guide you home.

Till we meet again, sweet girl—
in the green hills beyond time.

Blessed be.

Audrey – a gentle soul and beloved companion, whose purrs and presence will forever echo in our hearts.

Sasa blessed my life with his majestic presence for 14 wonderful years. While his independent spirit  made him a unique companion, he was spoiled by the love and affection he received. A true sun worshipper, he could often be found basking in his basket or sprawled out on his own patch of grass.  He was the master our hide-and-seek games.

Our adventures (and sometimes misadventures), only strengthened our bond. Sasa was much more than a pet; he was a dear friend and a source of endless joy.  I take comfort in knowing he’s basking in the sun’s rays somewhere beyond the rainbow.

Orange was our big, gentle boy who loved nothing better than backyard sunspots, a hit of driveway catnip, and chin rubs. You are so missed, my well-loved friend. Thanks so much to everyone at Resting Paws for seeing him so gently on his way.

Bella Rose was a beautiful girl who brought immense joy to all who knew her. She will be dearly missed and will forever hold a special place in the hearts of her loving family.

BUD, Aka, Bud Kitty, Buddy, Bud Wiser
From kitten to teenager to old guy, we loved it all
You were gentle & so laid back yet mischievous
A loving companion for 16 years
Our home is not the same without you, we dearly miss you
RIP Bud Kitty 💕💐

We came into each other’s life when we needed each other most. He was vulnerable and needed a home and I was recovering from a brain injury. I lost so much of my life and he brought companionship. He was a senior cat when he came to me so we didn’t have many years together, but we spent every moment together. Our routine was cemented and comfortable. I like to think he lived his best senior life.

“Our sweet girl Sadie brought us more than 12 years of absolute joy and love. The sweetest of girls you could ever want to meet, however, she definitely wanted to be queen of the neighborhood. Size didn’t matter, and being a schnauzer, she let the other dogs know.
Sadie loved to travel , and in particular was happiest when stretched out in the sun in Southern California. She loved to romp in the waves and chase her ball at Dog Beach in Del Mar. When at home on the island, Air Force Beach was a favourite spot. She was happy wading up to her belly and then would stand in envy watching the big dogs chase their balls and sticks in the water.
Another important part of her life was licking out my latte mug every morning, prior to having her face washed and her teeth brushed.
She has left a hole in our home that is so much bigger than her 14 pounds. Rest easy, sweet girl. You gave it your all, and we tried our best to give it back.“

🌈 LUCY – August 19, 2011 – November 20, 2024 🌈

Our beloved Lucy crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. It was a very peaceful and gentle time here at home, thanks to the compassionate vet hospice team at Resting Paws. It even had humorous moments, as they brought Lucy a McDonald’s cheeseburger which she devoured with gusto! The ravages of kidney disease meant that she had been slipping away from us. We take comfort in the fact that her life was very full and happy and that for 13 years. She was such a wonderful family member, who loved everyone. Now, all her difficulties are over. She will be missed by Dave and Nan and all the family, and by her feline sister, Maggie. We will be looking for her around every corner, on every trail and beach, in the ocean, on every car ride, on every paddleboard. She surely has earned her angel wings, thanks to her loving nature. 💔😢❤️🐶 Love you forever, Lucy 💗🐶

TiraMISU came to me late in her life, she had a traumatic start and was able to rest and relax while I had her for our short time together.
Misu was a sweet gentle soul that brought me much joy and companionship. Misu you will never be forgotten and sorely missed.❤️

Dexter, our handsome little guy. We were lucky enough to share 12.5 years together. You had such a big personality, full of character though a bit mischievous. You were incredibly friendly, always eager to greet every guest who came into our home. Every box or bag became your new spot to sit, and you loved sneaking bites of food while we cooked. We will forever miss your loud purr, our evening games of fetch with your toy mouse, and our nightly cuddles as we fell asleep. We wish we had more time with you, but we know it would have never been enough. We will love you forever.”

Resting Paws Rightly named and the ladies that came to help my little friend cross over the rainbow bridge were the two most gentle caring people I have ever met in this time of grief.
My little girl passed without a twitch and they stayed till they knew my grief was in control, caring and loving to the end.
I recommend them highly when its time to let your friend go.
