Friends at the Bridge
keeping Buckley company in the meadow


When I first put Buckley's page up, a woman in Oregon wrote to me about her beagle, and then a man in Texas wrote about his cat, and then the letters just kept coming. So I started this page. Every animal here was somebody's best friend, and every one of them gets a candle.

To add your pet: e-mail me with your pet's name, what kind of animal, the years if you know them, your first name and state, and one or two lines about them. I add new friends every weekend. Please be patient with me, there are a lot of you, and I read every single letter.

Newest friends are at the top.

candle Pepper, black Lab mix, 1987 ~ 1999
loved by Sharon in Kentucky
She met the school bus every afternoon for eleven years, rain or shine.
candle Taffy, cockatiel, 1984 ~ 1999
loved by Mildred in Florida
Whistled the Andy Griffith theme every morning at seven. The house is too quiet now.
candle Moose, Newfoundland, 1990 ~ 1999
loved by Craig and Lori in Wisconsin
A hundred and forty pounds of drool and love. He thought he was a lap dog.
candle Smokey, gray tabby cat, 1982 ~ 1999
loved by Hector in Texas
Seventeen years. She outlived two cars and one marriage. My daughter says she's bossing the dogs around up there.
candle Daisy Mae, beagle, 1988 ~ 1999
loved by Joyce in Oregon
The first letter I ever got. Daisy howled at every siren in town and never once came when she was called. Joyce, I think of you often.
candle Thumper, Holland Lop rabbit, 1993 ~ 1999
loved by Megan, age 11, in Ohio
He could open his own cage and he liked grapes the best. I miss you Thumper.
candle Rocky, German Shepherd, 1986 ~ 1998
loved by Frank Sr. in Pennsylvania
Walked with me every morning after I retired. Best partner I ever had, and I worked with some good ones.
candle Bandit, ferret, 1994 ~ 1999
loved by Stacy in California
Stole every sock in the apartment and hid them in the couch. I'm still finding them.
candle Shadow, black cat, 1985 ~ 1999
loved by Rita in New Jersey
Slept on my feet every night for fourteen years. My feet are cold now.
candle Sadie, Golden Retriever, 1985 ~ 1998
loved by Marv and Jeanette in Iowa
Another golden girl. They wrote that she and Buckley would have been fast friends, and I believe it.
candle Peanut, Chihuahua, 1989 ~ 1999
loved by Lupe in Arizona
Four pounds and scared of nothing. She chased a Great Dane off our porch once.
candle Duke, Basset Hound, 1987 ~ 1999
loved by the Lindquist family in Minnesota
His ears dragged in his water dish and then he would come put his head on your knee. Every time.
candle Goldie, goldfish, 1996 ~ 1999
loved by Brandon, age 7, in Illinois
His mom typed this for him. Goldie was the first pet he ever had and he wanted her to have a candle too. She does, sweetheart.
candle Belle, Appaloosa mare, 1972 ~ 1998
loved by Ruthanne in Montana
Twenty-six years old. Carried both my daughters and then my granddaughter. She is running now.
candle Bear, Chow mix, 1991 ~ 1999
loved by Tom and Darlene in Georgia
Only liked two people in the whole world, and we were lucky enough to be them.
candle Princess, Persian cat, 1983 ~ 1999
loved by Evangeline in Louisiana
A true lady. Would not eat from a dish unless it was the good china.
candle Buckley, Golden Retriever, 1986 ~ 1999
loved by Colleen, Warren and Eric in Michigan
Holding the door for all of you.

If you are in the first days of it, please be gentle with yourself.
It does get softer. It never goes away, but it gets softer.
— Colleen
