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

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...

Madonna

“Our Precious Missy”

We brought Madonna into our home and our hearts on June 24, 2003. She was a loving, sweet and beautiful girl. We adopted Madonna before we had our own daughter and she truly became a member of the family.

Madonna was later re-name “Missy” by our daughter Gaby. She did not mind one bit and would answer to either name. She really lived up to her name “Madonna”. She was in various newspaper articles. She was very well known in our neighborhood and the kids at my daughter’s school would always look forward to seeing her the next day. She was always friendly towards people, as well as other dogs. She was a great ambassador for greyhound adoptions. We lost our precious girl to what we believe was lung cancer. On November 21, 2008, we made the heartbreaking decision to let her go peacefully. We feel blessed that we had Madonna for five years, for the joy & happiness that she brought to us and for her unconditional love.

We will always love and remember our Sweet Girl.

Boomer

We adopted Boomer from Greyhound Friends of NJ in July 1999. She was 5yrs old & we were concerned we wouldn’t have her long enough to make a difference in her life. We were wrong. We had the privilege of providing Boomer with a loving home for 9 ½ years. She loved her walks & my dad, Leo, made sure she got them a few times a day. My mom, Carol, would get on the floor & massage her. She was spoiled & treated like a queen & she deserved every minute of it. Boomer was very friendly & gentle with children & adults – everyone in the neighborhood would stop to pet her when she was out on her walk. Even though she came into a home with two other dogs whom she adored, once they passed on, she decided that this home was too good to share & was less than friendly to other dogs (& that’s putting it mildly!). She loved spending time lounging on her fleece beds, throwing her toys around & eating her treats. However, as she aged, she played less & less & just enjoyed the simple walks & lounging (& her turkey stew!). We just lost our Boomer girl on December 8, 2008 as she joined her sisters in heaven. She was a wonderful companion who had a lousy first 5 years, but an incredible 9 ½. She can now run free with no pain or discomfort & wait for us to join her. She will forever be loved & missed.

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.

Jonesy (Shannon Dreamer)

Jonesy was just seven years old when we lost him to osteosarcoma. He was a true hero and brave boy, and we will never, ever forget him.
