"Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal."
-Eckhart Tolle
Lucky: 2010-2023
My best friend and the most gentle, patient, kind and loving soul you will ever meet. Lucky was my Zen Master who taught me unconditional love and presence. He was always there for me during my many life's challenges and served as my support system. He was also the inspiration behind Lucky's Rainbow pet loss grief coaching. Thank you for the gift of your rainbow and letting me know that all is well. Until we meet again my dear friend... -Tom Burkizer, Scottsdale AZ
Molly: 2008-2019
Molly was our first family dog and came to us when our boys were young. She was the first dog my wife and children ever had and she was perfect for that. Intelligent, obedient, and gentle she was extremely careful and tolerant with children. Molly was well travelled and spent a lot of time at kids activities like baseball and hiking. Molly was a tremendous athlete and swimmer spending countless hours with her boys playing in the fields and in the water. She loved her family and would always try to herd us into the same room - she was truly happy when we were all together – a powerful lesson. Molly lived a long wonderful life but cancer took her quickly. We will never forget and are extremely appreciative that we got to share our lives with Molly. - The Olson's -Chandler AZ
Greta: 2020-2023
Gretta came to our family as a Covid dog during very difficult times for our family. We had lost our Molly, my father was dying of cancer, and we were just figuring out a pandemic. Raising Gretta brought absolute joy to our lives and many happy memories. She helped us focus on the “now” instead of our worries and the joy she brought to any activity was contagious. She was extremely intelligent and empathetic but most of all fun loving and goofy. She was so many peoples' favorite dog. Shortly after life felt normal again Gretta died suddenly and unexpectedly while we were asleep. Later we would find out she had a grand mal seizure. With some time and reflection we have realized Gretta was here to help us through the hardest part of our lives then she had to go. We will be forever grateful for the short time we had with her. - The Olson's- Chandler AZ
Bo: 2012-2022
Bo (larger light colored pup) and his buddy Parker playing at home. Bo, you are deeply missed and eternally loved! -Tom Newland, Scottsdale, AZ
Sqeakers: 1995-2013
Squeakers was the most adorable sweet little kitten with a pink nose and a gentle little squeak when she meowed so she got named Squeakers. She was found as a stray kitten and quickly became part of the family and loved being an indoor kitty. She loved to talk to us with her cute little squeaky meow and was always ready to cuddle. She was a happy kitty and very easy going. She gifted us with so much love, sweet adoration and playfulness. She passed from complications of kidney issues at 18 years of age but still lives on in our hearts. - Michelle Jeffries, Scottsdale, AZ
Tigger: 1995-2015
Tigger had boundless energy and bounced around the house like Tig from Winnie the Pooh. He also had a sweet side where he would put one paw around each side of your neck and nuzzle his cute little nose into the nook of your neck and give you the biggest hug and purr. He was initially an indoor/outdoor cat that brought home birds to show off to his mom. She put a bell on his collar to try to curtail his capturing of birds but his hunting was stellar and he still brought home lots of birds. So he became an indoor kitty and found his hunting skills worked well with kitty toys as well. He lived to almost 20 years old and was a big sweet cuddly black kitty cat full of fun, adventure and lots and lots of love. He passed from complications of squamous cell carcinoma. I love him soooo much.- Michelle Jeffries, Scottsdale, AZ
Poppie Popcorn: 2002-2015
Poppie Popcorn seemed to "pop" around the yard like popcorn when we first got her so she got the name Poppie Popcorn. She was the sweetest chihuahua you have ever met and didn't even bark until later in her life and even then if she did, it was for good reason. Everyone that met her fell instantly in love with her. She loved to cuddle and carry around toys in her mouth to play with and do happy twirls when she was excited. She hated walks, harnesses/collars and loved to be free and on her own. She brought so much joy and love into my life and her big bright loving energy lives eternally in my heart. She passed at almost 13 years of age from heart issues. -Michelle Jeffries, Scottsdale, AZ
Zoey: 10/2010-3/5/2024
My sweet Zoey aka “Jimmy” gave me the most meaningful 14 years of my life. I was 19 when I saw the cutest, fluffiest ball of joy I’ve ever seen. I have never loved so hard. Her smile and the way she would perk up and run to me when I got home from work still sits with me every day. She experienced so many hardships and milestones with me. She was always there by my side. I can honestly say I would give my life for her. I found it hard to imagine life without her, but now that the day has come, the only thing I look forward to is seeing her again at the rainbow bridge with her tennis ball and beautiful smile. I hope she knows how much I will always love and cherish her. My soul dog forever. October 2010-March 5, 2024. I’ll see you again my angel.
Woody: 2012-8/28/2024
Woody also known as "Wild Woody" was my best friend and companion. He helped me through several losses in my life including my other boxer Lucky. He was so playful and extremely loyal, very protective and had such a HUGE heart! I always LOVED coming home to him everyday because his beautiful energy just filled the space in my home and in my heart with such abundance. I have such a deep and profound love for him that these words cannot convey. Until our souls meet again my beautiful boy...Tom Burkizer, Scottsdale AZ
Kiki: 2007-1/11/2025
Meet our beautiful, loving best friend who we adopted at six weeks. Kiki was a funny kitten who loved to chew on my hand. It was so bitten up people were horrified. Kiki loved to play hide and seek where I would hide behind the cupboard and she would run and find me. As she grew she still loved to bite and even sent my husband to the hospital for antibiotics. We didn’t care because she was like our child. We don’t have children so our cats were our kids. Sadly Kiki passed on January 11, 2025 and my world stopped. We love you baby girl forever! Rest in Peace and be happy and free! I WILL see you again! -Lisa Carter
