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

Yesterday a precious Basset went to Rainbow Bridge: "Rosie" Mae O'Dogalld - born May 14, 1996 - died February 17, 2010. Rosie attended many Shuffles, and was once the Bassett in the pink wagon with the pink tiara and feather boa at the Shuffle. There use to be pictures of her at that year's shuffle on this site. Her spirit showed through until the last minute. She could no longer see or hear, but would still wag that tail and bark her "happy bark". It got where she could no longer walk a few days ago, but of course she tried. So we took her for an ice cream (she was allowed chocolate on top this time) on the way to the vets office. She went to sleep peacefully on her person's lap. She will be greatly missed. Kaye Toellner-Martin 
Ms. Gertrude came into my life about a year ago as a Foster. After only about a week I adopted her, she had many health issues because she was and elderly lady. A few weeks ago we found out she had a large mass on her right kidney and other not so good news. She started to go down hill and on Monday January 18th at 430p Ms. Gertrude crossed over the rainbow bridge. My heart is aching but I know now she is able to run and play again with no more pain. She was my buddy. I love you Gertrude and I will miss you always. Mom, Duncan and Rusty 
My sweet Droopy-Dog, It’s been exactly 1 year since you left us and my heart aches as much today as it did the day you died. My heart broke the day you died. I can vividly remember the day you came into our hearts. I remember thinking how tiny you looked next to your new big brother, Buster. You came home with us that day and you knew you were home. We were surprised when you jumped up into bed with us that very first night and snuggled in between us. That was the first of many “snuggle sessions”. You were such a sweet, lovable, playful dog. You loved to wrestle and play and race through the house with Buster and Maggie. You’d get so animated when the 3 of you were playing that your front legs would bounce off the floor each time you barked. Snuggling was your passion though. I used to joke that you’d give up food before you’d give up snuggling. You were my snuggle buddy. You liked to jump up on the couch and lay with me and snuggle. Every night, you would crawl under the covers to the foot of the bed and sleep with us. I can remember many nights when you’d get in bed and stand at the head of the bed while we lifted the covers for you to crawl under. You even liked to jump in the hammock with us. It didn’t matter where, you just loved to snuggle. Your eyes were so beautiful. I often thought to myself that I could look in your eyes and see straight to your soul. And it was a beautiful soul. Your daddy and I were never able to understand how someone could hurt you or not want you in their life. You brought us many years of love, joy, laughter, fun and memories. You live forever in our hearts, never to be forgotten. Until we meet again. Love, Mommy 
It is with great sadness that I inform you that Jackson passed away today. He became ill suddenly, and exploratory surgery revealed what we think is cancer that involved several major organs. We only had Jack for about 1 1/2 years. We originally fostered him, then adopted him when we just couldn't let him go. His favorite thing was getting a boost up onto the bed every evening. He loved to be loved, and he got lots of that here. We're so happy we decided to adopt him, especially now knowing he didn't have much time left. Jackson will have a special place in our hearts.

Bailey Mae – 12/14/2000 – 4/3/2009 Our precious lace eared girl. You never meet a stranger, man or beast. I knew you were the one, the first day I saw you. You picked us out and it was love at first sight. You were a great sister and companion to your sister Howling Hannah. We adopted Hannah from NTBHR so you would have a friend and y’all were best buds from the first day. The two of you never ever had a quarrel or squabble. Bailey was never sick a day in her life till 4/2/09. She refused breakfast that morning and I was checking her over and thought she was bloating. Dr. McClister said he didn’t think it was bloat but he wanted to do some x-rays and there on the x-ray showed a large mass on her liver.. We had blood test and sonogram ran and brought you home hoping we had more time with you but you let us know the next day you were in pain and it was time to help you on your journey to the Rainbow Bridge. Our hearts are broken but we know you aren’t hurting. Hannah and your Moms miss you so much. Love you Bailey, our sweet beautiful girl.
