RAINBOW BRIDGE

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 begins 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....

DOS

AKC/UKC CH O'Duinnin Dos Equis OA OAJ NF SS

11 September 2004 – 8 April 2009

Owner/Handler: Robin Fortenberry of Dallas TX

Breeder: Eileen Dinneen

Our hearts go out to Robin Fortenberry who lost both her dogs and her home to a fire on April 8.  Her Beardie Dos and her Manchester Gretchen succumbed to smoke inhalation.  Robin wrote, “Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.  It's really very hard.  Not a day goes by that I do not think of both Dos and Gretchen.  I did not ever think that I would lose them both this way, that they would not grow old.  Even though Gretchen was 15, she had so much energy.  She ruled Dos and he loved it.  My only comfort is that they both went curled up together.  Dos loved Gretchen so much and she loved him.  Again thank you.”

DARBY

O'Duinnin Oh Dancin' Darby OA MXJ NF NJC

Owner/Handler: David Williamson of Pearland TX

Breeder: Eileen and John Dineen

Our Darby left us and crossed the Bridge this afternoon, and we are sitting in a much quieter and sadder house this evening.  After 4 months of ups and downs with his health, his body had just had enough, and we let him go. We’re probably doing as well as anyone who’s been through this damn situation, and we surely do appreciate your thoughts and concern.  (Anyway, Dennis says that when I cry it reminds him of a time when he once heard a calf bawling for its mother on the other side of a fence, so you don’t want that in your ear, do you?) I’m here to tell you the agility bond that I shared with him has made this ever so much harder to bear. Hug your pups one time for the Darbster. That little guy sure was fast.

Owner/Handler: Kim Krueger of Sedalia, CO

Breeders: Ann and Harry Witte

Artisan Rook's Feather...Delilah passed away in a freak hit by car accident yesterday. She died almost immediately. I am thankful I was with her and got to hold her. I am just so sad and empty without her. I had a baby boy 2 months ago. Delilah absolutely loved him. She slept in the nursery with him, would gently lick his head and got up with me every night for the night feedings. But most of all, Delilah was my best friend. She was one of the silliest dogs I have ever had. The house seems so empty without her. Grendel just keeps wandering around looking for her. Our golden Sawyer is sitting out by the scrub oak Delilah would lay by....just waiting. Please hug your dogs and give them a special treat in memory of one of the coolest dogs ever....Delilah

MURRAY

Springhills Star Dreamer NA NAJ NAP NJP

3/22/95 - 9/12/08

Owner/Handler: Cheri Omnus of O'Fallon MO

Breeder: Pat Palozzola

"It's with a heavy heart I have to tell you, Tom and I had to help Murray cross the rainbow bridge on Friday night. Murray was 14 1/2 and had a great life. His passing was very fast. He only got sick on Thursday and was gone on Friday. He didn't suffer and I was glad Tom was home and we shared his passing together. It's never easy saying goodbye to a dear friend.

Murray lived in 3 states and got to travel through and visit many more. He loved running on the beach in California, in New Jersey he loved the long walks through the beautiful state parks, and here in Missouri he loved to go to the school where he could run, play ball, or just go for a walk.

Murray was very intelligent and had a great sense of humor. How he could make us laugh. He went through life on his terms and his own way. He will be so missed. Please think of him."

Owners: Lu and Jerry Bergen

Handler: Jerry Bergen of White River Jct VT

Breeder: Alice Buschman-Baliwyn

Breezy's life ended peaceably on a Sunday afternoon. Breezy had let us know that it was time.

Lu and I thank everyone who sent emails in response to my recent post reporting on Breezy's failing health. Your expressions of sympathy and support and the many who shared their experience of losing a Beardie friend gave us the strength to make the decision to end Breezy's downward spiral. Your caring let us know that we wouldn't grieve alone.

Breezy is the dog of our lifetime. Breezy transformed the ordinary lives of 2 ordinary people into a fairy tale-like experience. Because of Breezy Lu and I have wonderful friends that we would not otherwise have including many we have never met like many of you reading this post. Breezy had taken us out of our confined world and took us to places and events beyond our imagination. Our home is filled with trophies, plaques and ribbons because of Breezy. More importantly, she filled our home with love and companionship. She gave our lives purpose, pride and fulfillment. She lived up to her name, Precious Friend. Breezy was extraordinary! We are humbled by her greatness.

Breezy's death has left an extreme emptiness in our lives. Lu and I are grieving deeply. We are comforted by knowing that all of you understand our grief.

Jerry

Breezy's life is celebrated on her website, Breezy's Scrapbook, at:

"It is our sad news that at 3:00 today, at home, our Little Miss Kassi crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. With the assistance of Dr. Wolpher, she gently fell fast asleep on her favorite bed with her mom lying by her side. Kassi has been dealing with nasal cancer and our old girl was fading fast. She fell two weeks short of her 17th Birthday and our hearts are filled with sorrow. She has taught me lots, especially about unconditional love, and we miss her dreadfully. We have many fond memories to keep close to our hearts and she will never be forgotten. Kassi will come to rest beside KODDI at home after cremation. With Tears in our Eyes, Leslie and Cliff Dawson-North"
