“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” Quote by Josh Billings | ||||
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many splendid colors. Just this side of Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush, green grass.
When beloved pets die, they are carried to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days gone by.
They are happy and content except for one thing… they each miss their special people who loved them on Earth. So each day they all run and play together, until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up!
The nose twitches. The ears are up! The eager body quivers, the bright eyes intent… and this one suddenly runs from the group, flying across the green grass. You have been seen!
And when you and your special friend meet, you take her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the eyes are your trusting pet.
And at last, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together…
Never again to be apart.

Ruby was our beloved black lab. She loved to run, play fetch, cuddle, bark, and CHEW! More than anything Ruby loved to go to the Lake. She will forever be remembered and missed. 
She is missed every day. She had a personality that everyone loved. She worked hard at being loving and sweet, she just wanted to please you. Outside was her favorite place to be, you could not get her to come in on nice days as lying in the sun was much more her style. She came to us because she was in transport to be euthanized and the truck driver could not bear to see this sweet girl put down. She came to me a little skittish but with a few weeks of love and couch time she grew to love being part of my family. Her zest for life is what I will always be what I will remember most, and even though she did not get to stay with us for many months after her she was pulled from the truck, those few months gave her an amazing time to enjoy life. We love you and will miss you dearly. |
