THE 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 the Rainbow Bridge together....... - Author unknown ________________________________________________________ Memorials This page is dedicated to our basset hounds that have gone to the rainbow bridge.A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z

Died February 2004 For Fannie Mae Burnett You were with us for such a short time But our lives will never be the same Your quirky personality and your crooked paw Made us love you, then we found out about your pain We couldn’t keep you with us Though it broke our hearts to say We had to say goodbye to you So you wouldn’t hurt day after day What a sweet, pretty, good GIRL you were You only aimed to please It isn’t fair you were born like this And no one ever knew I hope you understand our love was unconditional and true Now you will play with Tekah, Daisy, Sunshine and Rosie, too And wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge Where we promise we will come and meet up with you. We love you Fannie, Mom & Dad 
Flash was a roly poly Basset that filled every home he went to with love. He never complained even when he didn't feel well. He would greet you by rolling over and showing you his belly - knowing a belly rub did more good for his humans than for him. We will miss Flash and are sorry the cancer took him before we were ready to let go. Thanks for all the belly rubs. He will be missed by his family - Ray & Linda Nelson, and Bassets Maggie and Frank Grapevine, TX 
I fostered Franklin, fell in love with him and adopted him in October last year. He was a very precious basset and my two females loved him. He fit right in the house with everyone else. Who would have thought I would have three dogs. He become very sick on Thursday and I rushed him to the vet on Sunday. He had a tumor on his pancreas. Franklin will truly be missed. I loved him very much. Pam 
Hagen was with us just a couple years. She was nine plus years old when she came to us from NTBHR, had only one eye and a few health problems but just as the heart on her side indicated she was a lover. She desired nothing more that to sit next to you on the couch and let you enjoy petting her ultra soft fur. She tolerated many other foster bassets in and out of our home and occasionally taught them a thing or two about respecting their elders. Her amazing ability to comfort her humans after a long day. In addition, her on-the-dot breakfast and dinner alarms will be missed. Mike and Liane Colleyville, TX 
This is Penny and and our daughter that was taken in March. Penny was a true basset - affectionate and a people person to the end. We adopted "Peanut" (we renamed her Penny) at age 4 in from NTBHR in July 1997. Her owners had left her with a neighbor, where she spent a couple of months, and then was rescued by NTBHR. I just wanted to let you know what a terrific dog she was. When we adopted her, she fit right into our existing crew, consisting of a large mixed breed dog and our 4 year old daughter. Unfortunately, after a 14 month battle with cancer, we lost her. She was a great dog and we wanted to thank you for the opportunity to have her. She was always a great comfort to us and we miss her much. Iwana R. and family Click a letter to find an animal or view all.
