My name is Tim Marshall (I am better known perhaps by the name of my former Engineering Technology Consulting Company "Technistrations".)I am showing my late Maltese Dog's photo for my Home Page cover photo since he was a lot cuter than myself! "Pump" was always here with me in my home office/lab/studio and usually right here by the keyboard as I worked. Sadly he died in my arms April 25th, 2010 Please see his tribute in my Gallery.I will be showing my new Maltese Mickey soon, who I adopted the week after loosing my Best Friend of almost fourteen years. Mickey quickly proved that he could walk in the paw prints of my little giant "Pump" and is helping to heal my broken heart. Mickey proved a natural in proving his abilities and is now my Certified Service Dog just as Pump had done before him.Mickey like Pump is a total "Velcro Pet" and I feel so humbled by what these two wonderful little dogs with big hearts can accomplish in exchange for just being loved! I am single and early retired in Jensen Beach, Florida USA and have lived all over the world. I have a P.hD. in Electronics Engineering, Mathematics, & Medical Science as well as numerous other degrees in Business, and Computer Science. I am currently furthering my studies in medicine, mathematics, and anything else that gets in the way and looks interesting! My hobbies include Photography, Art, Music (mostly classical and New Age and I still play around with the Trumpet or Cornet, Baroque Recorder and Keyboards), I used to be an avid Scuba Diver (PADI Certified), loved biking and was a former pilot... of late I am a Disabled U.S. Army veteran. I love just about anything involving Science and Technology, History and Animals. (I also enjoy putting expensive holes in cheap targets at the shooting range when I get bored.) It is from any of these pursuits that provide much of the subject matter for my Art & Photography.I used to own an advertising company in Louisville, KY and produced much of the post card, souvenir books, brochures, and souvenir materials for the State Park Service and other businesses throughout the state. Most of that work was done on high end large format cameras.

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your precious Pumpkin. I so understand exactly how you feel as few weeks ago I lost the love of my life, Mikey. He too died by my side here in my bed. When he left he left a horrible empty feeling in our home and a big empty place in my heart. We know they both are now at Rainbow Bridge waiting for us. They are happy and playing. I am sure Mikey is showing Pumpkin all the good spots to play. We tuck them away into that special place in our hearts and minds but they are so much missed. We got 2 new furabies to fill the emptiness in the house but our fella is still so much missed as he had such a big personality. Your Pumpkin sounds like he was also so much more thean a pet. They are our kids.. * Please don't mourn for me, I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right by your side each night and day, And within your heart I long to stay. My body is gone but I'm always near, I'm everything you feel, see or hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart, As long as you keep me alive in your heart. *** Big comforting Hugs for you.

What a sweet dog. I'm so sorry. I also lost my best friend, my Pomeranian Romeo, a few weeks ago. I certainly feel your pain.

What a cute dog. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can only say as a consolation: Our animals all go once over the rainbow bridge, where he now is he good and he intended to frolic with other dogs on a large meadow!

My deepest sympathy. My Mum had the same experience when her dog Micky suddenly collapsed and died of a stroke while he was with her in the living-room. He had been her only companion since my father's death. I myself had to watch helplessly when my beloved budgie Chip lay dying in a corner of his cage. While nothing can replace your loss I suggest you find another dog, maybe a puppy, soon. I think that is the only way to cope with your grief.

Me and my little White West Highland terrier Mandy extend our heartfelt sympathies to you. It is hard to find the right words at a time like this...over the last 39 years, a string of 4 Westies has graced our home and our lives. I hope you'll find another little life like Pumpkin to add joy back into your home again. I think that is the best medicine for a dog lover with a broken heart...and I'll bet Pump would agree with me. Afterall, some faithful dog has a job to look after you and keep your spirits high! Will you look and show us the result soon? here's my 11 year old Mandy

This is so very sad, and I feel for you. We came close to loosing out little Ichigo about two weeks ago...he had a choking problem, the poor little guy scared my daughter and I so bad we were shaking for days after wards...I am very sorry to hear you lost a friend, he will be waiting, as you say, on the other side of that rainbow...hugs for you my friend.

Just visited your gallery today and want you to know how very sorry I am for the loss of Pumpkin. I still miss my dog and she has been gone for over twenty years. The hurt lessens with time but the memory lives on and I will never forget her. I can still cry about her if I linger on it too long because like you, she was my best friend ever.

It has been two and half years since my heart, my soul, my Gracie Anne died. I have tears in my eyes reading about your heart of hearts, Pumpkin. So far, the pain of losing my girl hasn't lessened, I miss her intensely, as I know you miss your Pumpkin. My heart aches for you. I know how you feel. We've been blessed to have had one connection in our lives like you had with Pumpkin, like I had with my Gracie Anne, and others have had with their beloved companions.

Sorry for your loss. I know what those special animals meens to us. My cat Egon is very old now and I know it will end soon. He has lived like a king all his life and I know he is happy. He is always following me around, like a dog. Have a nice day.
