Tyson lived his life happily in Hyde Park, NY,
with his family and several other canine companions. He was
truly loved and enjoyed life and lots of walks right next to the
Roosevelt Home Site. He was truly one of the lucky ones.
He will be so missed by all of his family.

Loved by Rick, Alisa & Kelsey Bonds
"Millie was a part of
our life for almost 10 years. She loved to chase the birds and
squirrels and protect our house and yard. She loved to play ball and go for rides in the car. She will be missed very much, but we know
she is in heaven now feeling better." |
My sweet boy,
Even though you are
running at the rainbow bridge, free from pain and the ability to
hear all that's around you, I miss you and wish you were still
with us. I think of you every time I look at your empty bed and
bowls, at your favorite spot in the kitchen, and at the fence you
"helped" paint.
The silence when the morning alarm
is going off or when its feeding time makes me remember your
goofy, can-you-hear-me bark.Sutton, you
taught me patience, kindness, appreciation for the simple things
in life, and how to love and care for an elder - who was always a
pup at heart. Your sweet spirit, joy for life, and helicopter tail
will never be forgotten. I believe you are my guardian angel dog,
sent to love me on Earth and now watching over me from
Heaven.Thank you my dear boy, I love you and miss you-
Your
foster mom,

Harry was loved very much by his family. He will be remembered for his big happy smile, wagging tail,
and constant presence as the big speed bump in the kitchen, sleeping
right in the middle of everything!

Skye touched the hearts of everyone at
MAGRR. Having spent a large part of her life neglected and unloved, we
watched as her foster family helped her bloom into a beautiful, happy
Golden. Paw in hand, the Jeffrey family was with Skye every step of
the way; they saw her through hip surgery, rehabilitation, physical
therapy, and embraced her as her journey came to an end. She will
forever be loved and missed by the Jeffrey family.

Sunshine's Poem by her First Foster Mom
Missy Brown July 2000
I got Sunshine
on a cloudy day
and now her troubles are melting away.
As our
time together is drawing nigh,
I look into chocolate eyes and sigh.
Gone is the look of hurt and sorrow,
replaced now with hope for
tomorrow.
Her golden tail, once hung in shame
is high
and proud and knows no blame.
Her soft pink tongue grazes my
cheek.
"My, Has it already been a week?!?!"
She nudges my hand
with her wet nose
as my bittersweet love for her still grows.
Sunshine came to me, quite insecure
"Can I trust her?" She
wasn't sure.
But with love and patience and a gentle touch
I
have emptied her heart of oh, so much.
I have emptied her heart
of guilt and shame
Of scorn, neglect, and too much pain.
Her
heart is now empty of all those things
and open to all that love
can bring.
As I look at her, I can only pray
So with tears
and trembling lip, I say,
"God, watch over this precious girl,
and keep her safe in this ugly world."
"Give her some place to
call her own
and a family, a yard, a promise, a home.
May she
never again spend a day alone,
God, give her the love she's never
known"
Our time together is fading away.
and tomorrow brings
another day.
Maybe tomorrow's day will be the one
This
poem is reproduced in all of MAGRR's Foster Booklets as a tribute to
what fostering is all about.It is dedicated to Sunshine.

Sunshine's Farewell
Dedicated
to Phyl Simmons
No
long goodbyes, No bags to fetch,
You see I had a flight to catch.
Right now you must be feeling blue,
For you loved me as I loved
you.
So many Goldens you paved the way,
but it was me you
asked to stay,
I was your sun, you
hung the moon
And I promise you will see me soon,
In the timid
eyes of a Golden girl,
Alone and frightened by this cruel world.
And you will help, as you did for me,
To give her love and a
family.
So kiss my siblings and hug my dad
And tell that Bear
not to be sad!
My story ended happily,
A part of you, I'll
always be.
So dry your eyes Mom, get back on your feet,
The Bear
is barking for a treat!
Your MAGRR friends will see you
through,
There are many Goldens depending on you!
And each
time the sun smiles down through the clouds
Know that I am with you
and I'm very very proud.

A beautiful dog, the ultimate Golden Retriever...

He will be forever loved and missed by his family until they meet
again.

Boogs and Sass found themselves in the rescue
program when their owner passed away. They were inseparable, and for
that reason, Lisa Hicks decided to adopt them both. They were hers for
eight wonderful years until they were called to the Bridge and left
this world within just a few weeks of one another.
