This page is
dedicated as a tribute to honor those that have left us. Who am I referring
to, you ask! They are the ones some of us called Friends, Soul Mates,
Family, Sweethearts, Buddy, ... It is for the ones that were with us at
all times, that spent their lifes as an intricate part of the daily family
routines, that made us smile, shared our joys and shared our grief, shared
the good times and the bad. The ones that you could always count on being
there when you needed them the most.
It is also a tribute to honor
those that did not have the opportunity to find the homes they should
of had. The ones that have passed on because they were simply too weak
due to the legacy of their earlier lives. Their poor little bodies no
longer able to sustain them. They have found love and TLC in their fosters
homes before crossing over. They are the ones that we shared the most
with, during the shortest time.
They are gone
from our sight.....
but never our memory.
gone from our hearing....
but never our hearts.
gone from our touch...
but their presence is felt.
and the love that they gave us
never departs.

The Rainbow Bridge
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 who 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....
