TO ALL THE DOGS WHO ARE GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN IN OUR HEARTS. THIS PAGE IS FOR YOU
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 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 have been ill or 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 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 begings 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 to each other in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress that beloved head and you look once more into those trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from you heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
"In the Candle's Glow"
Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.
Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.
Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.

"Moonlite Lady"
My precious 3 ½ lb bundle of joy. When I brought you into this world, the song "Moonlite Lady" was playing on my tape recorder and I looked at you and said " You will be my Moonlite Lady".
My precious baby, 2 years ago, we had to have one of your eyes removed and after that operation, you started having stomach problems, but even when you got sick, you didn’t show it. Then in the last 6 months, you lost almost all your sight in your other eye and still loved life.
For over 11 years, you brought the Commander and I only joy and happiness. You spent your mornings staying close to the Commander till he left for work, then you would bark at the bedroom door to wake me up. I will miss that so my precious baby as will the Commander not having his little girl with him.
No one will ever take your place in our hearts. God took you very fast and you did not suffer. Now, you are in Rainbow Bridge with your Mommie Snowie , Daddy Frostie and your half sister, Shalimar. Till we can hold you in our arms again, remember we love you

"TIFFANY"
My beloved princess. You were our first Yorkie and what A sweetheart you were.
You were a mother to 40 babies over your life , you were such a good mommie.
You never did anything wrong in your life and loved all the dogs that came here after you.
I will miss you finding moles and bringing them to me as proud as a dog could be and barking at 3 am if you saw a raccoon outback!
You loved to have your picture taken and even when I put silly clothes on you, you didn't mind.
I will miss you so much, you were my Lady and no one will ever replace you in my heart. I held you in my arms and gave you A kiss as God took you.
Your daughters Gabby and Sabrina will miss you and of course your soul mate Remmie.
Until I can hold you in my arms and kiss you again
Love you

"HUGGY"
Huggy you were a part of me. You were and are my heart. You loved me with all your little body had in it. I was so proud of you the day we went Group one at the show. But that wasn't your bag, you just wanted to be with me night and day. To sit with me where ever and whenever.
Now you are free of pain and can hold your head high again. I know you are playing with your friends now. But I also know you, My Love, will be first in line to greet me when I arrive at the bridge. Till then my darling play and have fun with your friends there. You will be in my heart always.
I love you ,

"ROCCO"
A TRIBUTE TO THE "MIGHTY WARRIOR"
When lost of a love breaks your heart
it will mend
But never will it be the same again
I still see you everywhere you use to be
running, playing, nuzzled next to me
I see your dish, bed and toys
But not my precious of little fur boys.
Everyday you lived was a gift to me
I thank you for the love
And give you mine, eternally
Good-bye for now, my precious Rocco

"mugsy"
Eight years ago we went to the pound to get a dog because I just got my first computer and wanted a dog to keep my then boyfriend busy since I was on the computer so much. We seen this cute yelping dog wanting to get out of that cage! We had to wait for a week before we went back to get him.
Mugsy loved everyone and would have gone home with anyone if they took him. We made sure that, that never happened. He loved little children & they loved him.
2 days ago he got sick & we found out he had cancer which ended up in his heart. A blood vessel broke and he then died. We had no idea he was that sick. She said he was in pain but he never showed it.
I don't know when he was born but he died at 2:30 PM, 9/15/04 which happens to be my son's 49th birthday. Mugsy was about 9 years old.
YES!! Dogs are like your own child! They love you back and never complain.

Sweet, Darling Casey My beloved, beautiful Casey - how missed and forever loved you will be. Although we were your 3rd family, and you were 5-years-old when you came to us, we were your "forever" family and you were with us for almost 7 years. Not only did we love you dearly, but you were loved by your buddies Spike, and then Noble. Run free with them both, sweet angel, and know that you are forever in our hearts and never forgotten.

"KERRIMEE"
Kerrimee I knew you were going to be special from the start. Your little legs looked funny, you could not straighten them out. But you were a little fighter. You became the love of my life. You went everywhere with me, just so I could be sure you would eat. You had a funny walk as you could not stand up right. You would spin in circles to get from one place to anouther. You were a big whopping 2 lbs 6 ozs full grown.
I always felt you would not be with me very long, but as I said you were a little fighter. Who would have thought you would still be with me when you were 11 and 1/2 years old. I remember when you got so sick I thought you were dying about 5 years ago . But that Honey and cottage cheese, your favorite, brought you thru with me sitting up all night with you . I have to say you my darling little one were my heart. I still miss you more than I can say. But I know you are going to be the first one to greet me when it is my time. You can now run like you never could before, altho one of my greatest pleasures was when you wanted to come to me in a hurry, then you could run in a straight line right to me.
I miss you so much but I know you are with your Mom and lots of relatives. and you will all be waiting for me. Play my darling and wait for me.
I will love you always my sweet.
Your Mommie

"Sebastian (Butcherboy)"
To our beloved "butcherboy".. You came into our lives in X-Mas 2002. Abused, abandoned, blind & left on a 4 lane highway alone, cold & scared. That's not why you were put on this earth. You were put here to steal away our hearts with a loving, caring soul, and boy did you ever steal our hearts. The single most rewarding experience was to love, and be loved by you. Enjoy the milk bones in Rainbow Bridge. Till we see each other again.
Love, Mommy & Daddy. xxxxx

"BUDDY"
You came to us when you were three years old. When we picked you up in Tampa we bonded immediately. On the way home we stopped at Wendy's and when I walked you outside some customers wanted to know about the doggie wearing curlers to keep your hair off the ground. They called them tea bags. We had eleven wonderful years. We are going to miss you sitting in your chair while we are on computer and miss you pawing our face to make us scratch your head and chin. Gayla already misses you. Now you are free to run, play, and find your best friend Manny you missed so much. Trick is there and will find you then all three of you can be together. We will always miss you.
Love,

"MUCHIE"
It was a cool morning..I was to pick up the new baby...she was a yr old already. Along came the boyfriends plans changing..... But amongst the days plans Munch came along... She was so tiny, so beautiful...eyes so big and curious... Her attitude was so big, unlike her, but oh so spunky, she was the Munch! Munch passed over to the rainbow bridge 1-7-05... She was a beautiful little girl at a mere 2 1/2 lbs. The love and inspiration of my life... My mornings were made of furbabies, the reason I got out of bed in the morning...still do...Munch was always the first to greet me...with her waggling behind and I swear a smile :-) Munch made many, many people smile...daily! She went wherever I did...in a carrier made for a baby...She stayed all cuddled and so quiet, like the angel she was, most of the time , :-). Munch loved to get brushed, once a bow was in her hair she pranced around like a living doll "knowing" she was pretty.... I shall remember all my days the little love of my life.... Yes, I have other babies, but none like the Munch a Bunch..She was one of a kind... the love of my life!

"Pippi"
Pippi you my love were a very special little one. You were born with a deformed back leg. So you lived your whole life not knowing what it ment to have four legs. You were a traveling companion from the first , I had to make sure you ate as you were a tiny too. You were a big three and a half lbs all grown up. But could you ever run, I loved it when you would tun across the yard to me . You could run like the wind. Now at the bridge I know you are running even faster with all four legs working. I was so shocked to loose you so suddenly . I am sorry I wasn't there when you died but I didn't know you were sick . I miss you so much my little oneMy Heart has a big hole in it now.
But I know you will be there waiting for me, I know you will be excited to show me you can run with the wind now. Now you are with your Mommie and Sister Kerrimee, they will be with you as you greet me when I come to the bridge.The three of you will be in the front waiting. For now play and run, enjoy the new leg to run on. I know you are all there waiting for me. I will see you again my pippty puppty, I love you always.

My little White Rainbo, My little white angel, Gone too soon.
Rainbo your are Tugger's half Sister. He misses you almost as much as I do. You always slept curled up with Tugger. you were his buddy as well as Mine. He misses you I know. I miss you too, I never thought the day I took you to the vet for the cough you had developed so suddenly, that I would not be bringing you home with me. The x-ray showed a large tumor that Was blocking your trachea and was in a place they could not reach.
I love you and miss my Rainbo , With the soft little bark . But you thought it was a big ferious bark.
I know you are at the bridge now with your friends and can bark with the best of them now. Waiting for me and playing with old friends , and making new. I know you will be right there with Huggy, Kerrimee, and Pippi . Too many to soon. I love you and miss you my little angel. Always in my heart.

FANCYLADY
FancyLady was born October 25, 2000 and went to Rainbow Bridge on July 7, 2006. Much too young and soon! She was a small Yorkie with a beautiful babydoll face and a St Bernard attitude. Due to allergies she was never able to be in full coat, so she was in a puppy cut or a Snauzer cut, both of which only added to her beauty. She owned Betty Schneiter from February 2001 and was her favorite companion of all the dogs she had owned. FancyLady had medical issues that were not treatable. What a personality that FancyLady had! She loved, or tolerated, all other canines that Betty brought into their home. There were a few over the years since Betty was into fostering and rescue (Betty's children said Betty thought she could save them all!). FancyLady's favorite companion was Betty's husband's Doxie, HomerTyrel. They truly loved each other and Fancy was heart broken when Homer had to go to the Bridge. Betty is sure they are romping and enjoying being together again. Betty brought BobbyBarker (a Maltese) into their home about 3 years ago. He, too, misses FancyLady very much and when he hears her name he looks everywhere for her. Each night when Betty and BobbyBarker go to bed, Bobby sniffs where Fancy used to sleep before he makes his 3 circles and settles down for the night. Fancy's little presence is still very much felt by Betty and BobbyBarker, and they think even the cat, Koshka, misses Fancy, too. Although Betty's heart is still heavy, she knows there are other dogs out there that need someone to love them and help them find forever homes. She will open her door again when that needful little dog shows up, and this time, the rescue or fostering will be done in FancyLady's memory and dedicated to her.
May God Bless all of our fur children and keep them in His loving hands.
