~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


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....

 These Greyhounds have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and will be remembered fondly by their families...

Cindy


8 years ago we picked up Cindy from you. Her racing name was Gallant Glitter. We had to put her down last night. It was peaceful. We can't tell you how grateful we are for having her as part of our family. She was the sweetest dog, and one of my best friends.

When we picked her up, you asked "What do you think?" My son, 11 years at the time answered "She's perfect". And she was perfect for us, and always will be in our hearts.

Tonight it rained with the sun partially out. I knew I would see a rainbow, and when I did, my heart was filled with love. I know she is happy, running ovals, which she hasn't been able to do for awhile now.

Thanks to you, Linda, and Greyhound Friends of New Jersey for enriching our lives with Cindy, and for all of the wonderful work you do.

Frisky Lyon


We have helped our dear Frisky complete his journey here with us today. Though we know he is in a better place and free of pain, we are truly heartbroken and so sorry this day had to come, too quickly for us. We are so fortunate to have known, loved and cared for him, an “old soul”, as they say. Very wise, faithful friend. Frisky, a million thank yous for being part of our lives and letting us feel your love. We will hold you dear to our hearts forever.

I honor the place in you where Spirit lives
I honor the place in you which is
of Love, of Truth, of Light, of Peace,
when you are in that place in you,
and I am in that place in me,
then we are One

Lucas


Our wonderful greyhound of 11 years has left us tonight. He was 13. He lost all use of his rear legs. He had a long wonderful happy life with us. He will be missed.

Love you Lucas. Say hi to Bradley, Jake and lacey.

Koko


This was our wonderful “Koko” who was stricken with cancer and left us on 20 June. She found us at one of your “meet and greets” in Tabernacle, NJ. We were looking for a harder to place black greyhound, but Koko came up and leaned on me and followed me all over the place. Ironically, I had a sister, who had passed away in 1996. Her name was Karen, but everyone, throughout her life, called her Keby. Once I found out her name, I knew we were meant for each other.

They say God works in mysterious ways, and I believe Koko was sent to us on purpose. We got her in 2010. We got hit with Sandy in 2012. My husband nearly lost his life due to that storm. Because of his injuries, he was laid off from work. Koko stayed with Joe through all the days and nights and because he was falling into a deep depression, I forced him to start doing things with Koko. He slowly ended up feeling as if he had something to and that was to go out with Koko for walks, and her favorite, car rides.

Joe finally found a job just about two weeks ago. Just about the time we found out about Koko’s cancer. She really deteriorated quickly. I have to believe, and I know this is crazy, that perhaps she was not meant to be alone during the day. She needed a constant companion who would take her on walks and interact with her. This is my reasoning and it helps me deal with the pain of letting her go.

She will be so missed. We loved her and we are sure she loved us, too.

Thank you for all your good work.

Sincerely,

Kathy (and Joe) McLaughlin


Denim


Just a month after losing our Big Al, we have lost our Denim. Our crazy blue boy, "Dammit Denim" his official nickname. That nose of his could always cause trouble. He loved the bay, feared the ocean waves, shared his couch with you (only if you continually stroked him) and made us very happy. We are so grateful to have enjoyed his company. As with all the others before, we loved him so very much. We send him off with another piece of our hearts to join the others we have loved.

Pat & Pat McArdle
