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

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...

Gussie (Phil's Jimmy)
1996-2008

Gus was a sweet if a bit spooky, two time bounce back due to both of his prior owners developing ill health. He was is every way a gentleman and when he was returned, I could not stand the thought of him looking for another home. There is always room for another ......so fostering was out....and in to my pack he came. He was not a meet and greet dog, preferring to stay at home.....the welcoming committee when we returned, but always with the air of a prince, allowing you to come back to his castle. Gus would stand there wagging his tail and looking at you with his big, soulfull eyes and without being pushy, demanded dinner...and his dog bed fluffed....and hugs.... He left us due to a ruptured carotid aneurysm that took him quickly and painlessly. Run free Gussie and make the biggest bed at the bridge your own until we all join you there.

Ranger and Carney

My best friend "Ranger" 1994-2008, was predeceased by his brother Carney. (5-92-12-2003).

Ranger was a very abused messed up child that became the lord protector of our home. Carney was fun, silly and playful. They loved us to the hilt. After Carney passed, Ranger adopted a new brother, Buddy. Our family of greys has been the happiest days of my life. I only want to be sure they wait for me in the hereafter.

Who needs people? I will never get over the love, fun, personality and emotion my greyhounds had shown to me and my mom.

Gone, never forgotten, I will join you guys soon! I love you all so dearly.

CJ (RC Calamity Jane)

CJ (RC Calamity Jane)
8/27/1997 - 8/27/2008

CJ lost her battle with gasto-intestinal issues on her 11th Birthday. I was so lucky to have CJ for 7 years and want you all to know that CJ being my first dog - and first Grey of course was my inspiration - because of CJ we rescued her sister Cali; because of CJ I became involved in Greyhound rescue and helped many of you through the adoption process; because of CJ I never felt lonely or afraid through many tough times; because of CJ Cali learned to enjoy people and they were wonderful therapy dogs and great greyhound ambassadors; because of CJ I was able to go into schools and educated young people about Greyhounds - they loved her; because of CJ I've met fantastic people and made great friends. As the Pinter Family would say "CJ is the poster child for greyhounds." I can tell you that many people would tell me that they loved meeting her and that they wanted a dog just like her. That is the highest compliment and reminds me again of how lucky I am to have had her in my life. My life will not be the same without her.

Licorice

Licorice (Aljo Just a Rose)
July 1996 - July 2008

Beautiful Licorice came into my life 10 years ago as my FIRST greyhound. How nervous I was that first day she was with me, but her calm demeanor and easy-going attitude calmed ME down quickly and eased my fears. One could never have asked for a better introduction to the greyhound breed than with my sweet Licorice. She was so kind and gentle with her sister and brother, as well as with the many fosters who have passed through my home over the years -- always showing them the way on our walks, and tolerant of their occasional naughty behaviors. Licorice's claim to fame was that her photo will forever grace the cover of our Greyhound Friends of New Jersey cookbook -- oh so appropriate for the true "food connoisseur" that she was. Her zest for life was enviable. Licorice arrived in my life with grace, and departed that way as well. She is forever in my heart.

Love, Terryl, River & Greek
