Sad Day At Dogster
Horst Hoefinger

I’ve just been informed that three Dogster pups, all belonging to the same household, have been poisoned by antifreeze. It saddens me to share the news that all have passed over to Rainbow Bridge.

The beautiful dogs lost were Jake, Joey, and Nari.  Not much is known at this time, but it’s suspected that someone in the neighborhood is responsible.  I will update as soon as I have more information. In the meantime, please visit their homepages and leave a little love. I have no doubt their owner is in desperate need of some kind thoughts to help get her through this. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family.

Antifreeze poisoning is a big issue because dogs are drawn to the sweet smell. Dogs  have even been known to chew through the container when they find it left in the garage or elsewhere in the house. It’s so important to make sure the container is stored in a safe and secure place, just like you would do if you had a small child at home. It’s reported that about 10,000 accidental poisonings, both cats and dogs, happen per year.

Death by antifreeze poisoning is not a pretty way to go, it’s a long and painful death. The good news is that if you get your pet to the vet within 9-12 hours after ingestion they may recover.

Symptoms of antifreeze poisoning include a drunken appearance including staggering, lack of coordination, and apparent disorientation and vomiting. The animal may appear listless and depressed.

Because early signs of antifreeze poisoning often mimic signs of other illness, neither you or your veterinarian may suspect antifreeze poisoning until it is too late.

Fortunately, in house lab tests performed by your veterinarian by assist in the diagnosis of antifreeze toxicity.

The above comes from a very informative article on antifreeze poisoning put out by VCA Animal Hospitals. Please take a few minutes to visit their site and read the entire article, it could make the difference between life and death for your dog.

* Pic at top is Jake, middle Nari, and bottom Joey. May they all rest in peace.

    So, so sad. My deepest sympathies to the family. “Pet-Friendly Antifreeze” is available. I still don’t know why people who have pets, and even those who don’t as someone else’s pet could wander into your area, why, why, why, people don’t buy the pet-friendly antifreeze??

    Love,Precious,Misty,Fluffy,Cheryl,Chris

  25. Rachel

    I am still stunned. I was just reading all their stories on Wednesday and how much they all meant to her. And that she choose and was training Nari to be her service dog for her depression. She’s going to need to be on medication now. I’m am still just absolutely shocked. I hope those lowlifes get what’s coming to them. I’d like to poison them. I have been through this.

    My dog Rockey (a pug mix) was poisoned intentionally by my uncle. I went on vacation and my grandfather offered to watch my boy. He put him in the garage at night to sleep. My uncle (who lives with my grandfather) came home drunk from a bar one night stepped in a pile of poop and thew some rat poison in his crate. I still cannot look him in the face.

    Anyway I know this is a terrible feeling. Everyone keep this poor family in your prayers I know they will be in mine.

  26. Kevin

    Sorry for your devastating loss. Cynder and our family will keep them in our prayers.

  27. carole

    My furkids and I will light a candle for them so they will find their way to Rainbow Bridge. Our thoughts are with you.

    My sincerest sympathies go out to you. One loss is unbearable. I can’t imagine the devastation of losing all of your beloved babies in one tragic event.

  29. Lori

    Holding you close to our hearts during this very difficult time.

  31. Alexandria

    That is awful. It is a sick person that does something like that . They will have to answer someday. My heart goes out the family of the sweet pup’s.

  32. sarah + Cerridwen

    It’s never easy to accept that a fellow human being would do this to defensless dogs/animals. Judge a person by the way they treat animals. The people who did this aren’t worth much.

  33. Scooter

    I can’t even begin to imagine how much pain this family is experiencing right now. My thoughts go out to them.

  34. Tyler & Missy

    We are devastated about what has happened to our 3 pals and can not imagine the pain there family are going through right now :(

    Fly free, Joey, Jake & Nari! xxxx

  36. Dixie BlackPearl's Mom, Rhon

    There are no words to describe the sorrow, and no words to describe the anger. May Nari, Joey and Jake’s family find peace in happy memories.

  37. Candi

    Once i saw there i was covered in tears. This is the saddest event i’ve ever read. My heart goes out to you, i’ve been through losing a pet and it is very hard, nevermind losing 3 canine best friends. This is a very hard and tough situation, i’m glad you did the best that you could do to save every single one of your dog’s lives. I’m so sorry for your losses and they will be deeply missed. I cannot keep the tears from dripping down my face. I hope you can find the neighbors that poisened your innocent dogs and hopefully they will get deep consequences.
    Again, i’m so sorry for your losses. They will never ever be forgotten and your and your fur babies will always be in our thoughts.

    With love, thoughts, and prayers,
    Candi & Mom

  47. Pogo

    This cuts to the heart. Poor, poor little innocents, taken so cruelly. Heartfelt and consoling hugs from my Mummy Vicki and me to the grieving family of these precious angels.

  48. Millie & Linda

    This is just too sad for words…truly heartbreaking. It makes me sad to think we live in a world where this could happen. I am horrified that someone would take her beautiful pets from her in such a cruel (and cowardly) way. I hope she can take some comfort in knowing they are beautiful angels now and no one can ever hurt them again.
    I pray the love and prayers that are coming her way from her Dogster pals will help her get through this very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with the family…

  49. Sophie Bean

    OMD! My heart aches for the family of Jake, Joey, and Nari. I can’t imagine the pain and sadness they are going throught at this terrible time of loss. My deepest sympathy goes out to them.

  50. Bailey

    I am so sad for this family. I do not understand how anyone could have been so cruel. I am sending the family my deepest sympathy at such a terrible loss.

  51. Annie

    Just the thought that I get… I feel like my special dog could be next! Who invented Antifreeze? That’s just terrible! I’ve never heard of such a thing till now and it must stop!

    ~Annie and her owner

  52. Mollie

    It makes me so sad an angry that any human bein could do such a despicable act ta 3 beautiful animals. I jus don’t get it an don’t know if I ever will. My thoughts are with their family right now as they’re tryin ta come to grips with this tragedy.
    Run free Nari, Joey an Jake…

  53. Rocke & Raoudi's Mom

    I’m really worried about their young owner. She already suffers from serious depression. My heart has gone out to her time and time again ready Nari’s diary, and I’ve worried about her even *with* Nari.
    I hope they catch whoever did this. The laws against animal cruelty probably wouldn’t do much, but maybe they can charge him with attempted murder of Nari’s owner, considering she was a psychiatric therapy dog.

  54. Pawsible

    I am so sorry!! There are really no words…..They were well loved, be proud to have been their Mom!!

  55. Sisters 3 and Gig

    We are so very, very sorry for these babies and their family. We hope their mama can find peace in the fact that they are happy, healthy, and waiting for her in a beautiful place of pure happiness. Our hopes and prayers are that she can feel the love that they still have for her, and the love and support of her dogster pals. Nothing will ever heal this hurt, but maybe make it bearable with time. We also hope that “what goes around, comes around” and the evil, cowardly scum that did this feels the fire of hell.

  56. Maizy's Mom

    There are no words that can tell us the pain this poor owner is going thru ! This is such a senseless crime. I really hope they catch the sick person who is responsible for this. The laws aren’t harsh enough for animal abusers !!!

  57. Jennifer

    This is just such a terrible, horrible thing to go through. We are sending out our condolences to the family and heartfelt pug hugs and sloppy bubble kisses.

  58. Diane, Cassie, and Hunter

    My heart hurts for you…..this is so incredibly sad…loosing one pup is awful…loosing three all because of the cruelty of a so-called human being is incomprehensible. May whoever did this be found and severely punished…but whatever punishment that is handed out…it cannot bring your babies back. Sincere sympathy to you and your family.

  59. kiKi

    RIP Nari, Jake and Joey.. My thoughts and prayers are with you xoxox

  60. Caroline

    Sweet baby angels. I hope you all have fun running free in the doggy parks in Doggy Heaven, you’ll be deeply missed by us all.
    Anti freeze is such, a deadly thing, my parent before I was born, had a dog die of anti-freeze poisoning, they learned to keep their cars checked and the anti-freeze kept away from doggy level.
    I pray this never happens again to any dog owner.

  61. Cheyenne & Cinnamons' Family

    We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Nari, Joey and Jake. Our hearts go out to you. They’ll be waiting for you in heaven! Right now, they’re probably having a good run through a field of flowers, making friends, feeling no pain. We truly believe this! As a previous poster stated…just remember…KARMA….it does happen, and it happens in this lifetime!

  62. Rupert & Irwin

    We are completely shocked and saddened by this tragic news. Our hearts are with you at this sad time. RIP Nari, Joey & Jake.

  63. Cody's crew

    There will never be enough words to ease your pain. Just please know that there are many, many people praying for you. We will keep you close to our hearts and pray that you can find peace in the wake of this horrible, senseless act.

  64. A

    This is so sad,my heart goes out to there owner,it’s hard loosing one dog so 3 at the same time must be so terrible,i can’t even imagine what it must be like.
    I really hope that she’s not alone right now,loosing her therapy dog can only bring bad things to her and it makes me sick with worries.
    I hope that we will know if they find the monster who did this,he must not go unpunish,like someone else did write,it’s attempted murder on her.

  65. Pocono Tucker and Kacie

    It brings tears to our eyes to read this story. Our heart goes out to Nari, Jake and Joey and their family. Please know that we are all praying for you and your family at this very difficult time. I hope to God they catch the person responsible for this and that they are severely punished.

  66. mountianmutt1, BooDog, Yoda, Oijia,and Helena

    I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my good friend Clyde this last December, and I know the pain. I just dont understand how someone can be so cruel. I cant imagine loosing everyone at once. I’m not sure what I would do in your position, but If I found out who hurt my dogs I’m sure I would’nt want to be the one responsible! Good Luck you. Amafato

  67. Rey&Robin

    We recently had a neighbor, (we suspect!) that poisoned one of our Labs; same symptons. We were fortunate, we gave him lots of Pepto and he vomited all night! We live in rural Ms., no vets near at on a weekend night. We send our condolences for all three of your beloved. I’m so sorry that happened, there’s so many bad people out there! Beware everyone for none animal lovers in your area!

    Sincerely, Rey & Robin….

  68. Charlie the Beagle

    We are so sorry to hear of your tragic & sad loss. :(

  69. Coco Rose and Puff

    We have all faced a loss at some point in our lives, but loosing three at one time is beyond hard, especially when you are dependent on one of them as a service dog.

    Please accept my deepest condolences with the passing of Jake, Joey and Nari.

    Coco Rose, Puff and mom

  70. Katrina & Sophie

    If there is one thing we can do as a community to make sure this never happens to another dog owner again, start a campaign to outlaw the use of ethylene glycol. Propylene glycol is a safe alternative to it. It can be used as an alternative in mostly all substances containing ethylene.

  71. renee

    We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Words are never enough at times like these— know we have you all in our hearts and send you our love.

  72. Martha, Hansome Jack, and Zoie

    You all are in our thoughts and prayers, I can’t even imagine what your going through , please know that you have many dogster friends old and new that will stand by your side to help you through this horrific crime. God bless Martha ,
    Hansome Jack , and Zoie .

  73. Rocky and Sarge

    We are brokenhearted over the terrible news of these beautiful, precious pups.
    We are praying for your sweet family.

    May God watch over you all.

    Sarge, Rocky and mom

  74. Henry & mama

    We are all so sorry to hear of the loss of these handsome pups. Rest assured that all of us doggy angels will be making sure they learn their way around and they’ll be by to visit soon.

    From mama:
    I agree that I hope whoever did this pays painfully and for a long time. I know it won’t happen, but I can wish. For someone to be that cruel there just has to be something that can be done to them to equal at least part of the pain they’ve caused. Lots of purrs and good thoughts are being sent right out to their mom. I know no words will bring comfort but we are so very sorry for your loss.

  75. Bolt and Janine

    We are shocked to hear that! and now I will take care of Bolt even more

  76. Miss Molly

    My deepest sympathy to this dear family. I am at a loss for words. This is such a terrible thing to happen. My heart goes out to them………..Prayers and love to their family.

  77. BabyGirl & Mom

    Oh Lord,

    We send love, light, and healing energies to your family and to your babies. How horrible, it will make me more aware of what is running down the gutters and driveways in the future.

    Blessings,

    BabyGirl & Mom

    Our thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow.Vida,Sammy,Rosie and Kyo.

  80. Cailey Mae and Kobe

    Oh my gosh…how terribly sad this is. Please know that our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Nari, Jake and Joey.

  81. I-H-B-K

    What a beautiful family. So sorry to hear of the great loss of such beautiful dogs that loved life so much. I can only imagine the pain. It’s hard enough losing one dog let alone three at the same time. So sad! At least they’re together at The Rainbow Bridge playing in the water I’m sure. Thinking of you during your sad time. :(

  82. GGP

    Groups like the Humane Society and Doris Day Animal League have received support by State and Federal lawmakers to pass legislation that would require manufacturers to include a bitter taste to antifreeze. While the bills are slowly winding their ways through Congress, states like Arizona, California, Maine, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington have already passed similar bills.

  83. Wyoming

    Have been reeling from this news since last week. Still can’t believe that this has happened. This family has not left my thoughts since I first learned of the tragedy. Godspeed sweet pups and know the whole dogster community is mourning your loss.

  84. Cathy Tibbits

    I am so sorry. My prayers are with you. I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago.

  85. Tammy

    What a horrible tragedy. It is so sad when something senseless like this happens. I am sending out good energy for the family of these three dogs.

  86. Melody

    Can’t believe someone could do something so cruel. I hope they find out who did this, they should get punished for what they did. Sometimes the world could seem so shameful.

  87. Anita

    My heart is breaking for you as you mourn your wonderful dogs. May God bring you peace and comfort. And always know the Dogster family is here for you.

  88. Hershey

    I lost my sweet little Dogster pal Katie Lynn to antifreeze poisoning not long ago, and a neighbor was suspected in that as well. This makes my tail droop, and water is coming out of my mommy’s eyes. Our pawrayers are with this family.

  89. Sherry

    I can only imagine what you are going through. I lost my dog Jim on May 31st of last year and it was the hardest day of my life. I wish strength for you during this very hard time. And I hope that you find the people that did this to your babies and punish them to the full extent of the law. My heart and thoughts are with you. Just remember that the Rainbow Bridge is a great place, and I know my dog Jim was there to welcome them. Woof.

  90. Linda and Boo and Izzy Boston

    I sit here with tears streaming down my face trying to come up with something to say to make the hurt go away for you, but I can’t. All I can say is that I pray you are given the strength and comfort to go through the days ahead. Jake, Joey and Nari will be waiting across the Bridge when it’s time for you to meet them. Now they are running wild and free, happy and healthy and playing with all their friends. Our deepest sympathies go out to you.

  91. Frodo and Lilly

    I am truly sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

  92. Ali

    My heart goes out to the family of these dogs. I can only imagine the heartache that they are going through. It feels like the end of the world to lose one dog, I can’t even think of what it must be like to lose 3 at once.

    Thank you for posting this story to remind everyone of the dangers of antifreeze poisoning. Every pet owner should be aware. Tragic that it was too late for these three beautiful dogs.

  93. Carrie

    I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray you find the strength to get through this difficult time..

    Carrie

  94. Ember

    I’m sickened to hear this. Losing one pet would be horrible, but three? I can’t imagine.

  95. Brandi

    So painful a loss, you have our deepest condolences. I saw too much of this over the years working at animal hospitals. They put Bitrex in household chemicals to deter children, one would think they could do the same kindness to help prevent pet tragedies.

  96. Joanne

    I am heartbroken over the loss of your 3 precious dogs as you must be. Be strong and know that they are in a better place.

  97. Peggy(NJ)

    How very sad I hope they find out who did such a cruel thing. There are some really sick individuals out there with no heart.

  98. THERESA AND SHAY

    WE ARE SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR 3 BABIES. OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU IN YOUR TIME OF LOSS.

    SHAY AND TURBO

  99. Linda

    I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I too lost our little girl of 16 months to someone giving her antifrezze. We put out a big reward but nobody came thru. We know how you feel and only time can heal. you are in our thoughts and prayers.

  100. Jen, Paree and Benny

    I cannot even imagine the anger and sadness you must feel. I hope you can find comfort in the happy memories you had with your babies and that you can use this unfortunate experience to help educate others and possibly save some lives.

  101. Trish

    What a tragedy!!! I couldn’t bear the thought of losing not just 1, but all 3 of my children to some idiot’s negligence!!!! I hope they catch the person that did it, and hang them by their…..!!!!

  102. Simone! & Her Pawrents

    This is so tragic. Our thoughts and prayers to each and every soul who has been effected by this. May there be peace that reaches you.

  103. Jobie Dickerson

    I’m so so sorry…I can’t imagine the pain that you’re going through, My thoughts are with you.

  104. CocoLoco

    I am so, wholeheartedly, sorry for your loss. I cannot begin to know how you are feeling. I appreciate the fact that you so readily warned others against this danger when I am certain you have so much to deal with.

  105. Lisa

    My heart is breaking for these 3 angels who I did not know at all. Three innocent angels who do nothing but bring us joy…I pray that the person who did this will get caught and charged to the fullest extent of the law and worse yet, let Karma get him. I pray that their owner will find peace and know that they received the best life…i’m so sorry, so sorry…aloha

  106. Elise's Mom

    I know words aren’t enough. Words won’t be able to lessen your sadness, only time. It is a comfort to know that your children are at the Rainbow Bridge watching over you.

  107. Penny, Velcro, Kodak, 3 Perf, Blossom and angel Winton

    We are saddened and sickened to hear of the loss of your three furry babies! We cant fathom what you must be going thru! We are so very sorry! It is hard enough losing one furry baby let alone three on the same day! If there is anything we can do please contact me! I am so very sorry for your loss! Jake, Joey and Nari Rest in Peace! And may you one day find peace and solace. They will always be in your heart! We are sending our thoughts, prayers, woofs and purrs to you!

    Velcro, Kodak, 3 Perf, Blossom, angel Winton and mom Penny

  108. Cathie, Tinkerbella, Bambi, Smokey

    i am so sorry. my thoughts and prayers are with you during this horrible time.

  109. Philomina

    It breaks my heart to know that someone can be so cruel & hurt innocent animals. My thoughts & prayers are with the owner. I hope the perpetrator is found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!

  110. Liz

    I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard for me to comprehend how anyone could leave antifreeze out for the purpose of harming or killing an animal. One of my first collies was poisoned by someone in our old neighborhood with antifreeze. It was very traumatic and over 40 years later – I still remember. They are in heaven running through God’s fields. I hope you find comfort in their memories.

  111. Cheryl

    There are no words that can make you feel better at this time. Losing a dog is one of the most heartwrenching experiences one can have. Losing 3 must be unbearable. I truly believe you will see your furkids again. They are now your guardian angels and they will always look out for, and love you.

  112. Rhonda

    My thoughts and prayers are with you now.
    I am in tears thinking of the pain you are in. I can not say anything to make it better. I know how devastated I would be if i lost all my dogs at one time.
    I hope your heart heals.
    Rainbow Bridge has welcomed Jake, Joey, and Nari and until you meet again as we all know you will.

    I am so, so sorry for your families loss. May you always have precious memories of these precious babies in your hearts and know that they will forever be grateful for all of the love that you gave them. They will await for you at the gates of Rainbow Bridge.

  114. Kim, Nick, Ben, Romeo, and Addie

    You have our deepest sympathies for your devastating loss.
    May the memories you made together bring you some comfort in the coming days and until one day you meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

  115. Dove Betts

    I am saddened and horrified…particularly if an outside influence transpired to place these dog in danger.

    We need to band, together, and write to the manufacturers, to have anti-freeze, which has a sweet taste, from what I have read about the product, changed to a formula whose smell would deter animals from tasting it.

    My heart and thoughts are with those who lost these beautiful dogs and souls. Each animal companion, when lost, for any reason, takes an irreplaceable piece of your heart with them.

    Dove…

  116. Sandy

    I just can’t believe someone could do such a horrible thing to those darling dogs! I feel so so awful as I sat there and read the story. I have tears in my eyes. Just know you are not alone.

  117. Molly

    So very sorry to hear of this tragedy for Jake, Joey and Nari. They will always be with you, in your heart and your memories. My heart goes out to you at this sad, sad time. (((((( gentle, healing hugs )))))))

  118. Denise Diggs

    I am so sorry to hear about your sudden loss. My tears have not stopped flowing since reading this tragic story. Some people can be so cruel. I pray that they find the person(s) that did this to 3 of GOD’s four-legged angels. May they rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you. My beloved Foxy Lady has greeted them at The Rainbow Bridge. Be strong.

  119. Mickie and Atticus

    Our hearts go out to you at this time. We will keep Jake, Joey, Nari and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
    Hugs and tailwags,
    Mickie and Atticus

    I will pray for you and hope your heart mends and perhaps find you another “LOVE”

  122. Guido & DIru

    I am so sorry for the loss of the three sweet furbabys, Jake, Joey, and Nari. So very tragic and terribly horrifying that someone would do such harm intentionally to helpless animals. My thoughts and prayers go to the family during this sad time.

  123. Poncita149

    I am so sorry to hear this. I had a neighbor who put antifreeze in catfood trying to get rid of the stray cats in the neighborhood and my dog got into it. She denied it and no “proof” was ever established but I know the truth. It broke my heart to hold my precious dog in my arms as she had seizures and went into a coma. My deepest condolences go out to this family. I hope and pray that the culprit is caught and brought to the severest punishment possible. I’m SO SORRY! Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

  124. Max, Moe and Molly

    We wish there was some thing that we could say to take away the pain in your heart that you feel right now with the lost of your three babies, Jake, Joey and Nari. We do know that they are together in a place were there is no pain or suffering, and that someday you will see them again.

  125. Gloria

    How very sad I have also lost a dog because of antifreeze you are in my prayers.

  126. Sherri P

    I am so very sorry to hear this…it is sick and disgusting how some people treat animals. I hope justice can be found. Regardless, your babies were taken and for that there is no fix. I am praying for you.

  127. Greg

    I’m so sorry for your loss!! I cannot put into words how I would feel if this happened to mine. Again I’m so sorry.

Sincerely, Wembley the Pug and family

  137. Paloma

    Oh I am so sorry for y’all’s loss. Its a terrible world we live in that someone would intentionally hurt a defenseless loving creature. I have two as well as a cat and would be devasted, I lit a candle at church for your babies.

There is a Saint call Saint Frances of Assisi and he will watch your beautiful angels in Rainbow Heaven. We are crying over here. We didn’t even know them and we feel like we just lost three wonderful friends.
    We love you all and huggs to you too.

    To The Family of Jake, Nari and Joey,

    I so sorry for your loss. This poem helped me last year after having to put my Angel Rusty down. I hope it brings you comfort. In my prayers.

    I Remember
    (In memory of beloved pets who are gone, but not forgotten.)

    I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
    I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.

    I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
    “It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”

    I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
    You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.

    I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
    I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

    I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
    I want to re-assure you, that I’m not lying there.

    I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
    I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said “It’s me.”

    You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
    I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

    It’s possible for me to be so near you everyday.
    To say to you with certainty, “I never went away.”

    You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew…
    in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

    The day is over… I smile and watch you yawning
    and say “Good-night, God bless, I’ll see you in the morning.”

    And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
    I’ll rush across to greet you and we’ll stand, side by side.

    I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
    Be patient, live your journey out… then come home to be with me.

  190. Mary + Annie

    So sorry about the loss of all these sweet pups. Our dog Simon had to be euthanized this year due to a sudden infection and it was one of the hardest things we ever had to do. To have to say goodbye to three at one time is so unfair. Our condolences to you at this very sad time.

    Sleep well beautiful angels and watch over your family always! Hopefully the murderer will be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

  206. Denise

    What a dreadful loss of your 3 beloved fur babies all at once. I had a hard time coping with the loss of our 2 dogs within months of each other end of last year, I can fully understand your grief and pain. If someone was responsible for this I hope they are caught and punished for such a heinous crime. MY thoughts and prayers to the family and for the dogs again together over Rainbow Bridge.

  207. Abbie and Taz

    We are so sorry for your terrible loss. We know your babies are playing with so many of the other sweet dogs that have gone before Nari, Joey and Jake. Our little brother Merlin, and sisters Sugarbear, Niblet and Pipsqueak are already over the Bridge welcoming your sweeties.

    Peace and strength be with you as you go through this difficult time.

  208. Leslie Totten

    Dear Jake, Joey, Nari and family,
    Gizmo, Zoey and I are deeply sorry that you have gone through something so horrible. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Just over a month ago Gizmo and Zoey (my precious Chihuahuas) also got into antifreeze sometime during our walk around the trails at our apartment complex. We got incredibly lucky that I noticed it in Zoey right away (she’s so small that it affected her very quickly). Both dogs tested off the charts. When I heard the vet say “antifreeze” my heart literally stopped. I continue to thank God everyday that we were one of the lucky ones. It breaks my heart to think of anyone who has gone through this unthinkable ordeal and has lost a member of their family. You can be as careful as possible around your household, but it’s so scary to think of what you cannot control. And it’s sickening to ever think any of these incidents could be intentional. Please find comfort in knowing that Jake, Joey and Nari are all together in doggie heaven and all of us here on Dogster are praying for you all.

  209. Anubis And Isabella

    Our thoughts and Prayers go out to their family They will always be watching over you …

  210. Jen

    I am so sorry for your loss. I know they are happily playing in Heaven while they watch over your family. I hope the person who did this horrible act will be found and punished.

  211. anna,chester,mitziand pookie

    We are all so terribly sorry for your unimaginable loss. God bless and keep you during this sad, sad time.

  212. Cagney and Jan

    I am saddened to hear of your great, great loss. We are here to support you. I know that Joey, Jake and Nari are at Rainbow Bridge playing with my Dustin and all the others. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

  213. Fargo

    Hang in there! That is what your precious babies would want. My deepest sympathies. Take care!

  214. Dawn

    Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
    When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet
    goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special
    friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water
    and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
    All the animals that had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor.
    Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we
    remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy
    and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special
    to them, who had to be left behind.
    They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
    and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body
    quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green
    grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
    You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
    you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy
    kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and
    you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from
    your life but never absent from your heart.
    Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….
    God be you and they are with him now. Forever watching over you.

  215. Tammy & Jasper (Brittany dog)

    Jasper and I would like to extend our sympathies to Nari, Jake and Joey’s family for their loss. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

  216. Nancy & family

    We are very sad to find three kind souls leaving for heaven for nothing. May God grant them peace and strength to the bereaved family..

  219. Tonya

    I am so sorry to hear about those poor babies. I feel for the family. You are all in our Prayers!

  220. Sancho Panza

    We were so heartbroken to read this sad, sad news. We recently befriended these beautiful dogs and their person. All of these dogs were well-loved and part of the family. Nari’s mom wrote an amazing Adoption story entry in Nari’s diary. You really get an insight into how vital Nari was to this lady’s well-being. So, we are sending love & prayers to this lady & her family for this tremendous loss and hoping they can be well and know they are in many Dogster member’s thoughts & prayers.

  221. Cindy, Molly, and Daisy

    Our thoughts, condolences and prayers are with the family of Jake, Joey and Nari. :(

  227. Nacho G

    Our hearts go out to you. So many tears are being shed today for your loss. Hopefully you will find some small measure of comfort from the sympathy being sent your way.

    We hope you will find the strength to seek out another dog to bring into your life… rescue him, and let him rescue you.

  228. kATIE

    MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU. I LOST FOUR DOGS THIS YEAR AND IT DEVISTATED ME. I WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND WHO EVER DID THIS TO YOUR PUPS WILL PAY IF NOT IN THIS LIFE CERTAINLY IN THE NEXT. SMALL CONSOLATION, BUT JUSTICE WILL BE DONE.

  229. Audrey

    That’s so sad. Socrates got very sick 6 weeks ago with kidney failure followed rapidly by liver and pancreas failure. She was on a drip, daily for 2 weeks. I’d stay with her at the vets and take her home at night. I suspected a puddle of anti-freeze which I’d left on the floor of the van. Having read all the info from dogster I’m not so sure, because the puddle was there more than 10 days before she got sick. It’s certainly a wake up call. I wish I had known how dangerous anti-freeze was.
    Socs appears to be on the mend, but will always have to eat very small meals often. The only problem is that it’s so difficult to get her to drink. Which is common I think with dogs with kidney failure.

  230. ANISSA CANOVA

    My heart goes out to you. I lost my dog 4 months ago. I can’t imagine losing 3. I am so sorry for your loss. i hope you find comfort in knowing that one day you will be reunited.

    I Saw an Angel

    I saw an angel today, oh what a vision to see.
    This beautiful angel sent only to me.
    My eyes filled with tears at this glorious sight,
    This angel so lovely made my heart feel so light.

    I held an angel today, in my hands it did rest
    Surely it had to be one of God’s best.
    So soft, so tender, so fragile it seemed
    To hold such an angel was more than I dreamed.

    I kissed an angel today, I just couldn’t resist
    As I looked at this sweetie I felt so much bliss
    My heart over poured with a feeling of love
    For this sweet little creature sent from Heaven above.

    I lost an angel today; I guess God had other plans
    This precious little life slipped right through my hands
    My heart felt so empty as tears fell from my eyes
    I didn’t have the chance to say my good byes.

    I saw an angel today, one I’ll never forget
    Those short precious moments I’ll never regret
    He took something with him on his journey above A piece of my heart to remember my love.

    we will never forget you’re precious snouts.

  232. HunterBoozerChanceYogiBrandieBuddy (Kathy)

    I am so sorry to read of this horrible tragedy you hae recently suffered. It is very difficult to lose one furkid at a time and I can’t even begin to know the pain of losing 3 at once.

    May your furkids run free at the Bridge. One day, you will all be together again.

  233. Pinto Paint & Meli Mom

  234. Kim Browne

    So sad to hear this news about Nari, Joey and Jake. It makes me so sad that anybody would want to hurt innocent animals like this. My heart goes out to you and your family…
    Love,
    Kim and Petey

  235. Lynne

    I am so sorry that you lost your babies. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and you family. I have two babies, and just the thought of it devastates me. May god help to comfort you at this difficult time in your lives.

  236. Nancy Ball

    Such a sad story. I can’t even imagine how difficult this is for the family. Hopefully whoever is responsible will be caught and prosecuted. My heart and thoughts go out to the family of Nari, Joey and Jake. I’m so very sorry the loss of your little angels.

  237. Peggy & Gracie & Sam

    We’re all heartbroken to hear about this. You and your family are in our thoughts during this difficult time. I only hope that the police are able to find who did this and there will be justice for Jake, Joey and Nari.

  238. Dot O

    My heart goes out to the family – so very, very sad.

  239. Robin K. & Pups

    I feel your pain. I also lost a dog 9 years ago. I lived in a small trailer park that was over run with stray cats. Someone put anti-freeze out to kill them and my Star found it. Just enough, it took her 2 weeks to die. There was nothing we could do. She was in the animal hospital for most of that time, but it was just too late. Her kidneys were shutting down. My heart was broken. Many HUGS to you and your family for your loss.

  240. Jean

    so sorry to hear about your babbies. i can only imgaine what you are going thru.

  241. Lori

    I cannot believe someone would do this to 3 precious dogs, I hope they find out who did this horrible act and punish them to severest length of the law. Makes me sick.. just sick.. words cannot express how bad I feel for the family. I am so angry how could anyone hurt an innocent dog or any animal..

  242. Fancy, Jake, (Cassandria)

    We are so sorry for your loss. I know how painful it is to lose just one, but to lose 3 like that has got to be unbearable. It is just awful the way people are in the world today. Our hearts go out to you in your time of need. God rest their souls.

  243. Patrice, Shadow & Winter

    Heartbreaking. I hope they catch whoever did it. I’m so sorry to hear the news, fur babies are so special. :(

  244. Angela Rodriguez

    It is sad that people do bad things like this to dogs. Dogs are not just things they are family, they form part of the family and become FAMILY MEMBERS. They are great companions and best of buddies. I feel very sad at what happend to Jake, Neri and Joey. It is that people who hate dogs will do these things and they inturn hate their own lives. Hate is a sin and who ever did this to Jake, Neri and Joey will have to answer to God for sure. Dogs are God’s creation and what He created can not be destroyed by man. But men do destroy because their hearts are empty. But mine if hurting for Joey, Jake and Neri, but I know that God has them with Him. I do not know Joey, Neri nor Jake but I know how it is to have a life time companion taken away from you. I suffered this years ago and it is not easy, but comfort is in the Lord who knows and will see the one who did this in the end.

  245. Angela Rodriguez

    I must add, that much terrible things are being done to Pit Bulls also. I had neighbors who has 2 Pit Bulls, Chyna and Blue. They are loving dogs. Every time I walk by their home, Chyna comes running to me, lays down and awaits her belley rub. Since she is very old but still strong, I give her a body massage and she falls asleep. I love her so much. My daughter has an American Pit Bull Terrier she is so adorable, she comes to me and she gets up on hind legs, puts her front paws around my neck and begs me to pick her up, yes, pick her up and craddle her like a baby even though she is a year and a half. Her mom Fica also an American Pit Bull Terrier does the same. I love then and here in Puerto Rico we are fighting for the passing of the Law 158 now Law 500 to Protect Pit Bulls and to recognize them and let them have their stance and place in society. Here there are large groups around the Island that are very organized in the defence of the Pit Bull. It’s president is the owner of Chyna and Blue and he is leading the fight in defence of the Pit Bull. It is sad that no one can take their Pit Bull for a walk because some hate them and see them as vicious animals. I see the Pit Bull as cute loving babies. I have been to meetings where all Pit Bulls from around the Island get together with the owners and protest to protect the Pit Bull. It is so wonderful to see ALL the Pit Bulls together in diverse activities such as tug of war with a long rope, chase, play ball, fetch and much more. During these meetings and events NONE of the Pit Bulls has causes problems and they do NOT need muzzles as the law wants. They do not need short chains and they do not need to be locked up or tied down. I add this comment because many Pit Bulls suffer and die because humans treat them as beasts and vicious animals, yet criminals commit crimes and they walk the streets because the law see them fine, yet a Pit Bull who is calm, friendly and a family member has to be accused and mistreated by authorities because they are loving pets. Shame on the authorities and abusers. More on this is at pitbullpr1.com. Thanks and Bless all you whom have any dog in your home and loves them. And to Jake, Nerie, and Joey’s family, I pray the Lord gives your strength and my heart goes out to you.
    Angela of San Juan, Puerto Rico

  246. Alexandra

    This is so horrendous, I don’t know where to start. For three dogs in one family to die of poisioning at once is tragic enough but to think that they were given the antifreeze deliberately is even worse.

    Had I had to have all of my pets put down on one day (God forbid), I would have needed sedation. I hope that the owner will find the strength to come through this as I personally don’t think I could.

  247. Maggie Gracie Trooper

    My heart breaks for you, please know that we are all thinking of you and take some comfort.

  248. Molly, Dusty, Snoopy and Charlie

    So sorry to hear of this, those poor innocent lives lost. Hopefully the culprit will get his just punishment. Remember all the happy times. I know you are not ready yet, but maybe someday another special friend will come to live with you.

  249. Julie

    My heart goes out to you. I, too, lost a dog to antifreeze poisoning. My 18month old chocolate lab, Duke–back in Feb. 1988–he is forever in my heart. I found out later that a neighbor had been setting out bowls of it for stray cats–SICK PEOPLE!! At the time, my vet informed me that all it takes to shut down a dog’s kidneys is ONE DROP!!! If caught soon enough, before brain damage occurs, kidney dialysis can be used to try to flush the dogs system clean. Along w/ nausea & vomiting is an unquenchable thirst, and lack of ability to urinate. This was the first & only time he had ever left our yard–One Friday afternoon, I was in the shower, he began urgently barking to go out–i ran to the door & let him out, jumped back in the shower to rinse off the soap, went back to the door (5 minutes tops) & he was gone. It was winter- I found tracks of his & another dog’s. I searched for hours. He came home about 8 hours later. All night he was throwing up–I figured he had eaten out of someone’s garbage or something- he had never had people food. He slept most of Saturday, getting up only to drink. When he did get up, he was staggerring all over. I called my vet & took him in that eve. By Monday, after doing all tests possible, we had to put him under.
    SO- even if you are POSITIVe that your dog will never leave his yard—don’t let them out unsupervised–you never know what will intice them to wander off.

  250. anna,chester,mitziand pookie

    We can only imagine the pain of your loss, and it hurts our hearts. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you struggle with this nightmare.
    Thank you for allowing us to share in your sorrow, and for helping to educate other dog parents on the danger of antifreeze. Because of you, I now know that dogs are attracted to antifreeze. I will be very careful in making sure it is kept up, if at all in my garage.
    God bless you, and your angels.

  251. Lisa Rhinehart

  253. Persey and Rocky's Mom

    I cannot find the words to describe the outrage I feel at this senseless tragedy. I can only send you my thoughts, prayers and tears. May the perpetrator(s) of this heinous act get everything they deserve and more.

    To all who have posted here, thank you for giving me a place where I know that I am not alone in how much I love and cherish my four legged children. I truly pity those who do not know what it feels like to love and be loved by these wonderful god given angels, who have on more days than I can count given me the strength and courage to face the world.

  254. Dee

    This is so horrible!! I can’t believe someone could be so cruel! This family is in my thoughts & prayers. I’ve lost 2 furkids in 1 year before, but not at the same time; I can’t begin to imagine the depth of your loss & grief. I’m SO SO SORRY this has happened to your beloved babies. I hope knowing there are so many others grieving with you will help you in some small way, & I hope whoever did this gets what they deserve. God bless.

  255. jala

    All our love and prayers to your family. Sorry for the lost, try to be strong.

    Don’t Say Good-bye
    Denise Weide

    It’s hard to say good-bye to one who means the world to you,
    The friend who’s always by your side whenever you feel blue.
    The one who shares the happiness that simple pleasures bring-
    Like strolling slowly through the park on sunny days of spring.

    It’s hard to say good-bye to one who’s loyalty is such
    He feels the need to guard you from a stranger’s harmful touch.
    The one who, in his younger days, would never hesitate
    To challenge any enemy- to keep his loved ones safe.

    It’s hard to say good-bye to one who’s growing older now,
    With cloudy eyes and muzzle gray. You start to wonder how
    The one who once protected you now needs protecting, too.
    You know your time with him is short, his days remaining, few.

    It’s much too hard to say good-bye to such a faithful friend,
    But when he leaves this world behind, it needn’t be the end.
    For the one who always loved you more than any human could
    Will be waiting at The Bridge for you, so be this understood-

    Don’t say “Good-bye”, but “See you later- till we meet again!”
    The day will come when you will be together in the end.
    For the one who gave his all to you throughout his lifetime long
    Could be no other being than your precious, loving DOG.

  261. Anita,Calvin,Bella, & Abby

    RIP Jake,Joey,and Nari…Now running and playing in a place free from cruelty.

    We are so very saddened by the loss of your babies. I have always believed that if Heaven is perfect, there will be animals there. You will see your precious babies again one day.

    We hope they catch the person/people responsible for this horrific act.

    Our thoughts are with you.

  263. jonathan

    My heart goes out to you. I am so, so sorry for your loss. There is little anyone can say to reduce your grief. Please know that your animals loved you as much as you loved them and they will be waiting for you by the rainbow bridge.

  264. Netty

    Pet Friendly Anti-Freeze??? there is no such thing or at least I wouldnt trust it. That’s like my landlord telling me they have pet friendly bug spray and came in to spray while the next day my cat is puking! I dont think so. Karma will get them. I’m so very sorry for your lost, and it saddens me to think there are such horrible people out there abusing our beautiful creatures who just want to be loved.

  265. Brenda

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad heart wrenching time. We have lost precious loving faithful pets along lifes road so we know exactly how you feel. We keep in mind and our hearts that all dogs go to heaven. Your precious babies are there together waiting for you when the time comes for you to be together again.
    If this helps at all, think of all the happy special times you had with your babies.
    Our heartfelt thoughts are with you.

  266. Labrador Mom

    I cannot even imagine the sadness in your heart right now. Thank you very much for sharing your story -as painful as it must be. Jake, Nari and Joey will be forever guardian angels for dogs everywhere. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

  267. Fran

    I’m so sorry for your loss. Please accept our condolences and prayers at this difficult time. I’m speechless as to how someone can do something like this.

    Fran (mom to Sammy and Max)

  268. Buska & Tucker

    We’re horrified to hear of this tragedy. Remember that the whole pack is still watching over you.
    And may someone find the monster that did this, and give him/her a nice anti-freeze cocktail.

  269. Rhea and Koko

    My heart is broken over your loss. Our thoughts are prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

  270. Sandy

    Oh my, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have witnessed a dog and some cats in our neighborhood suffer from antifreeze poisoning, it was done by one of our neighbors who was trying to get rid of ferral cats, however he ended up killing family pets. If I could have proven he did it I would have pushed it with the authorities.
    My heart goes out to you! Your babies will be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge, at least we all have that to look forward to. My heart goes out to you & your in my prayers!

  271. Bear & Jazzy

    Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Nari, Jake and Joey. I hope they find who did this horrible thing.

  272. Gail

    I’m so sorry for your loss and cannot imagine the pain of losing three animal companions at one time. Losing even one is unbearable as we all know.

    Hold your memories of them close in your heart and know that they’re in a better and safer place, over the Rainbow Bridge.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope they find the person who did this and they’re punished to the highest extent of the law.

  273. starbucks and daisy's mom

    i am looking at a picture of my beautiful ivory, when he was little and playing with his brother. i had him for 13 sweet and silly years. he was the dog of my life and when i had to end his suffering mine did not end. but it helps to look at the picture and realize HE IS IN HEAVEN NOW, PLAYING WITH HIS BROTHER, with a strong body and no pain. that is the best i could ask for him because i love him so much.

    so i wrote down the special things i loved about him and i will love him FOREVER. then i got some other dogsters to take care of and they are each wonderful.

  274. Nevada's Mom

    So sorry to hear of the loss of your 3 babies! We’re thinking of you!

  275. Jennifer

    I am so sorry for your loss, especially 3 dogs at one time. I understand your pain, last year my dog Mystery had to be put down due to antifreeze poisoning. That was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and i still think about it everyday and think that somehow I could have stopped it from happening. And we also had a puppy, Tebow, that died at the same exact time. He had parvo and was hospitalized for 4 days and ended up not making it. Through all this we realized how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to monitor their every move. Again so sorry for your loss.

  276. Jesse, Roscoe, Duke, Randy and Karen

    Joey, Jake, Nari and their family

    We are so sorry for your loss. I know your beautiful babies felt your love and loved you back. I know of no words to ease your pain, I pray you heal.

    Its a shame someone would do this, harm a beautiful pet and friend.

    Our household is forever in your debt because sharing your grief, you have made us more aware of the dangers.

    With sincere sympathy,
    Karen, Randy and our 3 boys Jesse, Roscoe and Dukie

  277. Tikaani and Jada

    A year ago this month, we also lost our beloved dog, Sultan, from antifreeze poisioning. So our hearts truely go out to you in this time. May the person/s who done this horrible deed not be able to sleep peacefully, knowing what they have done.

    Once again our hearts and prayers go out to you.

  278. Nanzbo

    So very very sorry for the loss of your 3 precious dogs. You and your family are in my heart and prayers during this sad time.

    The moment that you died,
    My heart split in two,
    The one side filled with memories,
    The other died with you.
    I often lay awake at night,
    When the world is fast asleep,
    And take a walk down memory lane,
    With tears upon my cheeks.
    Remembering you is easy,
    I do it every day,
    But missing you is a heartache,
    That never goes away.
    I hold you tightly within my heart,
    And there you will remain,
    Life has gone on without you,
    But it never will be the same.

  279. Catherine

    My heart goes out to the entire family in this heart-breaking time! Please know 3 candles will be lit to help guide their way to the Rainbow Bridge. (Yes, I’m a little late-sorry) Puggie hugs and kisses from the STL, we’re praying for you.

  280. kim ballard

    I can’t believe anyone could be so horrible to take away souls so precious as Joey, Jake, and Nari! Just think of how much they’ve touched you and everyone they’ve ever met. They’ve received a special place in my heart, and my pooch Tator. They can never be replaced. They are probably playing together right now!!! I hope you see the reason they came into your life and why they have to bring joy to some other souls in heaven. Tator and I will be thinking of you.

  281. Maritza

    This story has left me absolutely devastated and I am so sorry for your loss. The love you shared is everlasting, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

  282. Jett &YOGI

    We are so very sorry to read about your loss. Our thoughts, prayers and tears are with you. May your babies rest in peace and play in heaven together once again.

  283. Sage and Seammas

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. We also hope that whoever is responsible for this tragedy will be caught and punished.

  284. Marga

    Stronger laws need to exist for the protection of animals. We may discover other planets and many other things but we will always be in the prehistoric stage if you do not improve on this. No one will take your memories away but no one will be able to put themselves in such a diffecult place as you are right now. The puppies will miss you but they are in a better place, you are the one who needs care. Take care of yourself, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

  285. Vickie

    I am saddened by your loss. Your dogs were beautiful, and I know your loss is great. May the wonderful and fun-filled experiences that your buddies gave you be with you always.

  286. Lisa Coan

    My heartfelt prayers and thoughts go out to you at the loss of your 3 sweet babies. What a horrible tragedy. I’m sure you are feeling heartbroken right now but know that you have so many of us here for support and that care about you. Lean on any of us if you need to. I’ll be here!!! I lost my sweet Mackie about 1.5 years ago due to a vet error after surgery and it about killed me too.. Continue to try to talk through your feelings and you will always have your babies in your heart.

  291. Danny

    I am speechless. How anyone could do such a horrible deed is just unimaginable. Our Lord has a special place for the perpetrator of this horrendous crime. My heart is more than just saddened by this news and I can’t imagine your heartache but be assured they will be their for you at Rainbow Bridge when your time comes and the reunion will be joyous. I and my guys, Sadie, Toast, Cracker, Maggie and Crosby will say a prayer for you and yours this evening. You are not alone.

  292. Rose & BB

  295. Becka, Ross, Darcey & Linus

    I am so utterly appalled. My heart goes out to you. My two narrowly missed dying from chocolate poisoning last year (thanks Vet Ruth), & I’m so sad that yours were lost. Words really fail me as to someone doing this to them… We will pray for you. XXXXX

  296. Leslie

    This is so sad, I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you find out who could do such a thing & they get punished to the fullest. God bless you & your beloved furbabies.

  297. John

    If this was deliberate, it could only have been done by someone who has never known the love of a dog. Its a sign of their very empty, angry, and compassionless existence. The desire for vengeance is a natural human one, due to their evil act, but let our animals serve as an example to us. I still will never find it in my heart to pity them, but may we all find some comfort in the blessings we have known and seen as loving caregivers to the animals that live only to love and please us.

  298. Bonnie Carpenter

    My heart goes out to Jake,Joey,and Nari and your family. I cannot believe in a million that a human being could do that to an animal. I guess we have all kinds out there.

    From Bonnie and my baby, Buddy, my pit who is on Dogster. You are in our prayers

  299. Debbie (Belushi & Preston's mom)

    I am deeply saddened about reading the untimely death of Jake, Joey, & Nari and in such a horrible way.

    If this was a deliberate act, and the person(s) is found, they should suffer the same way these 3 died.

    Nari, Joey & Jake just lived just down the street from us and, because of Rowdy’s back surgery, we’ve never got to meet–we’ve been waiting for Rowdy to get well–We are so sad “J”. It’s so hard to imagine this could happen right here in our own backyard–and to 3 very special pups. Our hearts hurt for you

    I am so sorry and deeply saddened for the loss of your 4 legged kids. My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. Every dog child is unique and can never be replaced. I hope you find comfort knowing there are so many people praying for you and feeling your pain.What a cruel and cowardly act for someone to poison an animal. There are no excuses. It is just pure evil.

    Dear God,
    Bless one and all here at this website and keep them safe from harm.
    Be with Jake, Joey and Nari’s family in their time of grieve.
    Let none of us forget the unconditional love that these precious furry babies gives to us everyday.
    May the memories of our beloved furry children remain in our hearts, until we see them at Rainbow Bridge.
    I ask this and thank you for the many blessings,
    AMEN

    As I sit and read this post-my eyes are filled with tears and I sob for the family of these precious puppers. HOW could anyone in the neighborhood give these innocent furbabies poison? Godspeed to Jake-Joey & Nari-I know they are safe at Rainbow Bridge. I am praying for all of them.

    God Bless
    Jean and her furbabies Macy & Patches

  316. Letty

    OMG, so sorry to hear about the loss of these 3 beautiful dogs… my prayers and thoughts are with the family. May they all rest in peace in doggie heaven…:(

  317. Magic

    Rest in peace beautiful angles

  318. Katie's mom

    I cannot imagine losing all 3 babies. Whoever hurts an animal is a lowlife coward. I hope they are found and punished but they seldom ever are. I am so sorry!! Just remember when you’re through your grief, there are so many that need your love. Adopt in memory of the ones you lost! It helps the grieving process. I hope this doesn’t sound bold and selfish…I wish you all the best

  319. Brutus and Moose

    so very sorry to hear of your loss that is one reason my mom never leaves us out without supervision, Brutus got one tsp. of antifreeze once and he was so sick he went to the emergency vet and was saved, around our house we use pet safe products our owner feels it is important and we are never left out alone so someone can’t come by and poison us because we are Rotties

  320. Beth & 8 fur kids

    I am so sorry for your loss and knowing this was preventable makes it even harder to deal with. I lost two furkids to the poisoned dog food and they died from kidney failure too. It is hard to loose a loved pet and to loose 3 at one time is beyond sad. I only hope you are comforted knowing that their spirits will be near you forever whenever you think of them. You may catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of your eye from time to time…it is their spirits checking on you and letting you know they love you even from the other side. I am so sorry for your loss.

  321. Raja Babu and PC (Dogster member)

    Rest in peace angels Jake, Joey and Nari. We will remember you always and spread the word about anti-freeze poisoning.

  323. Magnum and Higgins

    It angers us to hear what happened to these sweet dogs. I pray those responsible will be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent, in the least. Karma will catch up to them. To the family of Jake, Joey and Nari – your angels are watching over you. We are sorry for your loss.

  324. dglowicki

    Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for your loss. I too hope they find the less than human thing(s) that did this and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Schnitzel and I are praying for your healing and I asked Poncho to wander over and say hi to Jake, Joey and Nari.

  325. Stacy

    We are extremely sad about this inicident. May God keep you and hold you thru this time.

  327. Ashley

  328. Steve & Judi

    Jake, Joey & Nari,
    When in heaven can you look out for our little guy? He goes by the name of Pookie & is very fun to be
    around. We are saddened by your owners loss, however you three will never be forgotten. Godspeed to the three of you & also our Pookie!

  329. bonniebeagle

    Our heart breaks for you. It is so devastating to lose one fur baby but to lose three at once because of someones cruelty is almost unbearable. There are so many people here wishing good things and sending good thoughts I hope it maybe helps a little. I have no doubt they are waiting and playing over the Rainbow Bridge waiting pariently for the day you are together again.

  330. Chris and fukids

    We are so sorry to hear about your loss, our prayters are with you. I am going to make a point to do something about this. Far to many die from anti freeze posining, I dont think it would take to much for the makers to add a bitter agent of some kind so no animal will bother with it, i am going to start petitions and see if we together can force makers of antifreeze to put something in their product that no animal will want to even like, dont know how yet but gonna find out, if we all rally together we can stop countless and needless deaths, lets do something about it

  331. Amy

    my heart is totally broken for you. That someone did this intentionally, goes beyond my comprehension. It’s beyond words. I’m so very sorry

  332. Amy

    I have to add, thank you for taking care of these angels and making their time here special.

  333. Anabel Salinas

    My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I was lost when I my baby crossed the rainbow bridge – I can’t even begin to imagine the pain of loosing 3 at once. If this was a crime purposely done to harm your babies – I hope those people get what they have coming to them.
    I went through a lot of websites for support and helping to get closure – and one of the websites I visited was very helpful – maybe you can light a candle for your babies there:

    We are so, so sorry for your loss and can only imagine the heartbreak and emptiness you must be feeling right now. I noticed that someone else posted the Rainbow Bridge poem, which is what I would have sent you a link for. I hope the poem brings you as much comfort as it’s brought me over the years. How fortunate you all are to have shared so much together as one warm and loving family. That’s what happy memories are made of…

  337. betty and gucci

    So sorry for the loss of your 3 family members. My deepest condolences. Thank you for sharing your story so that dog owners are aware of the dangers of antifreeze and can prevent this from happening.

  338. connie

    I am so very sorry for your lose and pray for your peace and comfort. Jake Joey and Nari blessed your life but you blessed theirs also because they had a loving home and each other so many dogs out there die without knowing that in their lives. I hope those responsible for your lose are found and punished.

  339. Cheryl

    To say goodbye to one pet is hard enough but to have to say goodbye to three is heartbreaking. Keep them alive in your heart forever.

  340. Dante

    Such sorrow and hurt. There are so few words. Please know we know even that moving forward can be so hard. My She still grieves for me.

  341. ann

    I have to say I’m a little appalled at a lot of these comments some of you are bringing up the owner and saying she’ll need medication now and that your concerened for her mental health keep that to yourself how insensitive can you get? while the rest of you think it’s your time to post your own stories and say your dogs are waiting for them at rainbow bridge come on! this is’nt about you can’t you just say I’m sorry for your loss we already know you would’nt want to be them and you love your dogs again not about you can you just leave your condolences and leave it at that? and I really hope the person who posted on Nari’s diary that she was screaming and needs to go to the hospital knew the owner personally because if not that was ridiculous you don’t ruin someone’s tribute like that unless you knew them so I really hope you did.I am very sorry for your loss and a lot of these comments.

  342. Judy - Mommy to Hope, Shadow, Gator, and Bowdeen (and Sweetie and Ludwig -- waiting at the Rainbow Bridge)

    We are all so very, very sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers — and our tears will flow together with the ones we know you have shed.

    By having the courage to publicize your sad story, you have given Jake, Joey, and Nari the greatest memorial any of us could ever give to our beloved “kids.” They will live on not only in your heart — but in the lives of every dog and cat whose life is saved because you shared your pain. Thank you for your compassion in thinking of others when you have suffered such a horrific personal loss.

    to the family of these 3 beautiful and precious and innocent dogs – i feel so so bad and i wouldn’t be able to survive this – last year my neighbor tried to poison my baby beagle with a plant poison – it cost me $2,000 to pull him thru, he was just a baby at the time but he made it and this person admitted it. Your babies are so beautiful and tonight when I come home from work I’m going to give mine a special hug cause I know how you feel this must be devasting i know it was for me when my beagle was poisoned.
