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 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 Rainbow Bridge together.... 

 

   Light a candle and remember me, But not with tears in your eyes, Raise you head upwards, My kingdom is in the skies. I am the warmth that touches you, On a sunny summer day I am the breeze that caresses you From near and far away I draw you pictures in the clouds So that you might know I am at peace and watching you On earth not far below Please open up your heart So another creature may see What it is to be loved, The way you loved me. Bring out my old ball My dishes and favorite toy Don't let them go to waste. They can bring so much joy. And if you should need to talk All you do is close your eyes Raise your head upwards. I'll be listening from the skies.

 

Sea Lairs Rio Vanderwerth

June 13, 1993 - November 24, 1999


When I first saw Rio he was very shy and thin, ears were down, he was afraid of everyone, but from the first second I saw him, I never saw that, I saw him for the picture you are looking at now of him, I never saw the scared Rio. Rio came to me in a time where I didn't know if I could go on, but through his strength and the strength of his love I did and together we built a love that has no ending. Rio was my best friend. He was not a dog to me he was my baby. Even though I lost him a lot sooner then I ever thought I would, I know he will live on through my memories. I also know if it wasn't for Rio I probably wouldn't be here, for Rio saved my life, Rio give me love when I needed it the most. That love he give me made it where I could go on. Most will never understand, but Rio and I know. I love you my sweet Boy and remember you always in my dreams. Run my Baby Run, Go be with Billy. Rio I will see you my friend at the Rainbow bridge and again I will get to hold you. I love you my Rio and you will always be my BEST FRIEND!!!! Bye Jill

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ZORRO

March 13, 1997 - December 11, 2000

It is so sad to lose a dog that is so very young, letting him go was awful but I know it had to be done, he is happy again and whole again and running and playing with his dad waiting for me at the rainbows end, for now he will watch over me and make sure Im safe, but the sadness of his loss is a feeling I will never forget, my sweet little boy. Go run in the heavens in the fields of green grasses, remember I love you and will never forget you, I love you Zorro

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got to the gate of heaven today, after we said goodbye.
I began to miss you terribly, because I heard you cry.

Suddenly there was an angel,and she asked me to enter Heaven's gate.
I asked her if I could stay outside for someone who would be late.
I wouldn't make much noise you see, I wouldn't bark or howl.
I'll only wait here patiently and play with my tennis ball.

The angel said I could stay right here and wait for you to come.
Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven if I went in alone.
So I'll wait right here,you take your time, but keep me in your heart.
Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven without you to warm my heart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                               

We thought of you with love today.
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.

We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.

 

 

 

Keep not for me though I am gone,
Into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long,
Upon my soul's sweet flight.

I am at peace, my soul's at rest,
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.

There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath,
Remember not the strife,
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      

 

 

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped His arms around you,
And whispered, "Come to Me".

You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only picks the best.

And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain,
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again
Today I lost my very sweet boy he died from that awful disease called bloat the tears are flowing from my eyes as I lost my friend my buddy and my heart. Cruzier had so much more life to live and now he is not here I lost my best friend Cruz today and I don't know how to stop the tears my sweet baby Cruz please know I love you always and forever and you will always be in my heart.

 

My best friend closed his eyes last night,
As his head was in my hand.
The Doctors said he was in pain,
And it was hard for him to stand.
The thoughts that scurried through my head,
As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And OH...his many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge,
With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart thats filled with tears,
Remembering our joy filled days.
But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, "You should cry no more,
God also loves our canine friends,
He's installed a "doggy-door"!
