Sidney
Sidney Rosenberg of Monmouth passed away on September 8, 2008 surrounded by his human family.
He was adopted in 2006 at age 8 from the Bangor Humane Society by his loving family Lorraine Robitaille and her daughter Maureen Rosenberg. He was affectionately known as "Stan the man," "Squiggy," "Spareparts," "Wiener" and "Puppy bear." Sidney loved riding in the station wagon with his head out the window and sneaking cat food.
Sidney will be remembered for his flipper feet. He held the title Most Mixed Up Mutt two years running and had looked forward to entering this year's competition at the Paws on Parade in Bangor.
Sidney's family would like to thank the staff at the Animal Emergency Clinic in Lewiston who diagnosed him and Turner Veterinary Service who welcomed Sidney with a smile and took him into their group for the last 6 months of his life. They gave him compassion and care that will never be forgotten. We would also like to thank Dr MacGregor, Sid's Cardiologist and his assistant Amanda. They took wonderful care of Sidney and set realistic expectations for us.
Sidney would want you to know, adoption is honorable, adoption of an older pet is an honor.
We love you Sidney

Eleven years was not long enough! As always, the matriarch of our pack did it her way. She made the decision she knew would be too hard for us to make. Surrounded by her pack and her people she died quietly on her "princess bed". Eating our dinner without her chin in our lap, seeing her get so excited at the mention of the word "walk" or "field," having the pack instantly behave with just one grumble, watching her wait patiently at the back of the pack while I fixed breakfast; those are just some of the many things we'll have to learn to live without. When Tonya from Middle Tennessee Great Dane Rescue called us and asked us to take this old lady she described her as "regal". A perfect description, she was our grande dame, always dignified and regal to the end. We are so sad to say good-bye but Simba is waiting for you, Brandy. We love you and miss you both!
Ginger
Oct 31, 1995 - March 13, 2008
Our sweet Ginger was reunited with her brother Tucker on 3/13/08. She passed very gently on her bed at home, with her family, a full tummy and a lot of love around her. Ginger loved Tucker, food and treats, endless petting and attention and Ferry Beach in Scarborough where she was a connoisseur on the taste of smelly, rotting shells. With her fuzzy face, she was mistaken for a puppy up until she was10 years old and then when her brother died she aged in front of our eyes. We are grateful for the extra two years that she spent with us before leaving to join him. She is dearly and painfully missed by her 2 moms, her little sister Gracie, her adoring bunny Loppy, her little puppy brother Spirit and the puppy she gracefully tolerated, Belle. Goodbye sweet Ginger. We miss you terribly but we know that you are happy to be with Tucker once again. We will never forget the joy, laughter and love that you brought to our family.

A gentle, wise old soul. Serene, laid back, intelligent. Our first non-lab, rescued shelter dog extraordinaire. Lived with a tennis ball in his mouth. Methodical trotter with swishy tail. Perimeter patroller par excellence. Loved his squeakies. Mentor of Ross and plush cat bed. Our one and only magnificant mukaluk. You are in our hearts forever.

We'll always remember. We often wonder what kind of a dog Noah would have grown into. He is alive in our hearts forever.
