Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

Lucky

May 12, 2003 - September 16, 2012

Lucky got his name because he was born in our tack room, one of our dogs (Misty) found him when he was about 5 days old............the rest of his litter had died, his Mom must have run into a coyote.

We bottle fed him, taught him everything, I think he thought he was 1/3 cat, 1/3 dog, and 1/3 person.

One of Lucky's favorite spots was on Rick's shoulder, or laying on his chest when Rick was soaking in the bathtub.

We will miss Lucky SOOO much, and will never forget his un-cat like personality!

RIP Lucky!

Millie was a wonderful dog...taught us how to truly live in the moment. We originally got Millie for a guard dog, a big black lab would certainly scare anyone off, right? Well, Millie would look at any stranger, wag her tail, give them a smile, then lead them right to the cookie jar. Millie was a hunter....although she loved to retrieve, many times she had to compete with the shorthairs, remember, GSP's are really fast.....almost like greyhounds. When she did get a retrieve in we'd always say, she'll get the bird today, bring it back next Tuesday!

She was one of the loves of our lives! We will never forget that big old otter tail wagging!

We love and miss you Millie! RIP!

"Why does it hurt so when a pet dies...perhaps because they expect so little and give so much!" Gabe F.

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....
