Rainbow Bridge
There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge is a land of meadows, hills and valleys, all of it covered with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this lovely land. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. There, the old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole once more. They play all day with each other, content and comfortable.
There is only one thing missing. They are not with the special person who loved them on Earth. So each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! Then, the nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! You have been seen, and that one suddenly runs from the group!
You take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusing pet.
Then, together, you cross the Rainbow Bridge, never again to be separated.

Pete Smith, Owned by Todd & Debbie Smith, Passed Away March 25th ~ He was 17 Years Old 
Petie was a friend to everyone, sometimes people would be taken aback by his growly nature... which was totally harmless. It was more of a greeting than a threat. We loved to give him kisses. We would kiss him and he would growl and lick at the same time. We laughed and called it his "dog from hell" look. Nothing could have been father from the truth... he was truly a gift from God.
We love him dearly and miss him every day. We know we will all be together again some day, where Petie will once again be able to incessantly chase a ball. Thank you for all your comfort and prayers.
Much Love,
Todd & Debbie

Rest In Peace Foxmoor Rudy Judy ~ May 4, 1996 to November 14, 2011
We would like to add Foxmoor Rudy Judy to the Paw Prayers. The sadness in our house has never hurt so bad. We know she is chasing what ever she can on the Rainbow Bridge. We really feel the one thing that helped is having the vet come and put her to sleep at her own home so Ruth could hold her and she could go peacefully and having Ruth hold her as this horrible occurrence took place. Thank you
