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.
#352 Buster
Buster GSRNE #352 12/19/2007 - 9/20/2015 With heavy hearts we are sad to tell you that Buster #352 has passed away. He was diagnosed in late August with cancer (Hemangiosarcoma). The diagnosis hit us very hard-- he had not shown any signs of being sick until the very day we brought him in because of breathing issues. It was discovered he had a large mass attached to his heart. They drained the fluids out of his chest cavity and we were able to bring him home for a short time. They told us...

How many times have we heard or read "it's just a dog..." We realize some people don’t understand how upsetting it is to lose a much-loved member of the family. Maybe they’ve never had a dog and don’t realize just how strong and intense the bond is we have with our dogs. If they did then maybe they would understand our grief when...

#334 Ember
I ONLY WANTED YOU They say memories are golden well maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, I’d walk the path to heaven and bring you back again. Our family chain is broken, and nothing...
#329 Sheldon
Sheldon GSRNE #329 2007? - 5/27/15 We are so sad to report that Sheldon has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He had stopped eating and drinking and he started peeing in the house, so his owner took him to the vet. They found a large tumor on his spleen, and they said that operating to remove the tumor would probably only extend his life a couple of months. It was decided that the kindest thing was to put him to sleep without prolonging his suffering. Sheldon was a very friendly, sweet boy. He...

Mona GSRNE #327 2002 - 2016 Adopted December 3, 2011 Click for more photos of Mona I write with the sad news of Mona's passing. She had a wonderful life with me, my only complaint was that it was only five years--way too short a time to spend with such a sweet girl. She and I had many medical challenges over her last 15 months, but we also had many joys. It was very sad to let her go....
#324 Bishop
Bishop GSRNE #324 6/1/2007 - 5/7/2016 Bishop was adopted in July 2011. He was 4 years old then, having just celebrated his birthday on June 1st. From the moment he set a paw in our home, we fell in love with him. We took him everywhere dogs were allowed, and he was a true companion. He loved going anywhere in the car (even to the vet), but especially for ice cream--yum! We also took him to obedience training where he received his CGS. His trips to the local nursing home brought...
