THE 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 the Rainbow Bridge together.......

Buster/CArson

In January of 2011, we had just lost our 13 year old Dalmation. To find a friend for our other remaining mixed breed dog, we attended a NTBHR event at a strip mall in the mid- cities. We fell in love with a skinny, shy, and trembling Bassett named Carsen, who had been abandoned and had just been treated for heartworms.  We adopted him quicky after a home visit, and promptly changed his name to Buster. He just did not look like a Carsen to us! 

 Buster was the sweetest and quietest hound that we ever saw. He was like a mountain goat jumping to the highest point on couches and chairs to snooze for hours at time. He loved the dog park, car rides, doggie day care, and towards the end a never ending love for chicken jerky strips. Very sadly, we had to take Buster to the Rainbow Bridge due to his two month battle with lymphoma on Saturday May 10th.  Our second rescued Bassett Hound George is sad, as are we, in this time of a sweet rescued hound's absence from our lives.  R.I.P. Buster.
