RAINBOW BRIDGE

With sad hearts and fond memories of our beloved pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge…

When one of our beloved pets pass away, that pet goes to a place called 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. 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 together you and your special pet(s) cross the Rainbow Bridge.

#469 Zeke

“I fall asleep with you in my heart in hope I see you in my dreams”…💙 “Sadly we lost our beloved boy Zeke on Friday, July 21, 2023.  Zeke came into our lives in September 2016 at 8 months old.  He was the most handsome young male we had ever seen.  The first month he was a normal, crazy, energetic, playful and social German Shepherd.  He was introduced to his older sister, Georgie, it took awhile but the two became inseparable. Zeke was in what we say “The honeymoon phase”.  He went...

#453 Lexus

Lexus GSRNE #453 5/27/2018 - 2/2019    Click for more photos of Lexus Password: Lexus I had been trying to write this message for a while but kept breaking down. We had to put Lexie down. I felt a lump near her thyroid, and a biopsy revealed an aggressive sarcoma. We went to various specialists and more tests revealed that her lungs were already filled with many large masses--too many to count. The available treatments had a marginal chance of success and terrible side effects, and would...

#421 Gabby

Gabby GSRNE #421 5/16/2007 - 2/10/2018    We're sorry to report that Gabby has crossed the Bridge. She stopped eating again a couple days ago so we took her to the vet, and she was bleeding internally again. The night before, Gabby was otherwise happy and had no trouble at all--she ate "a bunch" of meat, so she enjoyed her last night, thankfully. She was such a lovely and loving girl, and we are all are going to miss her terribly. We're just so grateful that she had loving humans to dote on...
