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

Romeo
We first met Romeo ,while my wife was selling real-estate.He was in a back yard next to her fathers home.We never paid much attention to him,until my wife listed this house for sale,sold it and the people moved out.They left Romeo,stating they would be back daily to feed him,this never happened.We took food ,water over daily for several days.Finally in January ( I Think 2000 ) a severe cold front was forecasted for that evening.We debated Romeo's situation,a decided to go get him and take him home with us.He came easily,but was filthy.We took him straight to the groomers for a bath.We were hooked.The vet discovered major heart worms.Through the generosity of the North Texas Rescue,Romeo was treated successfully.The next five years grew into a loving relationship between humans and animal.It was hard to tell who loved who more.I am retired so Romeo and I spent a lot of time together.He always managed to know when snack time (dog biscuits ) and meal time came around.About two years ago Romeo developed Diabetes,requiring us to give him a shot each morn.This summer we rented a large van so we could take Romeo to Colorado with us,since it was obvious he probably would not make Christmas.He loved the outdoors,barked at chipmunks,sniffed many a trail,and even mustered up enough energy to chase a deer ,woofing all the way.We have three other dogs ,which receive equal love and attention,but somehow Romeo was our special guy.We joked through our tears at his passing,that the vet would have to get a second job,now ,since the were spending around $500.00 a month on meds and visits.MONEY WELL SPENT!!.I know there is a verse in the Bible that says something like :Blessed are they that are kind to animals.I would hope that this means we will see Romeo again,I have never missed anyone so much.

Roscoe 1281
With a sad heart, advising that Roscoe passed away after enjoying many years on the ranch in Fredericksburg, TX. We adopted him at one of your adoption events in Grapevine area many years ago. He was a runner, making him the perfect ranch hound. He loved running the ranch, hanging out with horses, and cuddling at night on his sofa. RIP Roscoe.

Roscoe and Lizzie came into my life as NTBHR’s 800th and 801st rescues and as my 7th and 8th fosters on February 25, 2008. They were a bonded pair found as strays that ended up in a local shelter. Both had been neglected and very sick. Roscoe had a severe case of heartworms. He was classified as a Stage 4 out of 5 stages. About two weeks after arriving in my home they both came down with URIs. Roscoe was able to get over his first round of infection when he caught it again. It wasn’t until late March that he was able to start his heartworm treatment. Roscoe didn’t survive the treatment. He was to far gone to fight the heartworms. We lost him on April 23rd. Lizzie was the sickest out of the two of them. None of us thought she would survive all that was wrong with her but she did! She pulled through liver issues, weight issues, heartworm treatment and infection after infection! She was a true fighter! Lizzie crossed to the Bridge on June 18th in her sleep. Nobody knows for sure why except maybe she was ready to be with Roscoe again. Click a letter to find an animal or view all.
