RAINBOW BRIDGE This page is in memory of all the doggies everywhere who have passed over the Rainbow Bridge but especially the ones loved and lost recently by our friends. Just this side of heaven is a place called 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 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 animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigour: 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 miss someone very special to them, who has been 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 begins to quiver. 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 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 beloved pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together……………. FOR HELP FOLLOWING BEREAVEMENT OR IN MAKING THAT LAST LOVING DECISION SEE THE DOGS TRUST WEBSITE

TARA HAS NOW GONE TO JOIN TINY AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE 04 FEBRUARY 2010 We received the sad news that Tara's back legs had given out on her and she could no longer stand. Dad took her to 3 different vets in the hope that one could help her but sadly all said the same, she would maybe have a week at the most. Dad thought long and hard about her but did not want to see her suffer. He gave her this one last kindness and asked the vet to put her to sleep. Our hearts are with you as she goes to join Tiny waiting together at the Rainbow Bridge until you are all together once again.

BRAD - AKA HUGGY BUG RIP 12 FEBRUARY 2010 My dear dear Huggy Bug, I took this photo of you this morning knowing it might be your last. I think you knew you weren't well as you looked more sad than usual though you've always had sad eyes. You have endured so much in your short life I hope that the time you spent with us made you happy. You've always been a good boy and never complained that I couldn't take you out for walks. I was looking forward to that once I was fully healed but I knew you were poorly. We had to give you the chance by letting the vet operate on you knowing that if they couldn't help you we wouldn't wake you up again. With all my heart I would have loved more time with you but that time would have been short and I couldn't bear to think how much pain you may be in though you never let it show. You've touched the hearts of many that never even met you. Goodbye my bestest boy. Play free at the Bridge and wait for me, maybe you will meet up with my Baby Boy Benji though Charlie Girl joined her own Mum some time ago now.

TIKA My lovely Tika passed away after an emergency operation failed to save her life this week. She was only 9 years old and was a real "sheep in wolfs clothing" as unless pushed was as gentle as a lamb and was my "stooge dog" when working with dog aggressive dogs. She will be sadly missed by all our family and those who met her. "Oh wisest of things" run forever with the rest of our pack over the bridge. Mark & Lynne
