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

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...

Bob and LT

Bob was our first grey. We miss him terribly and the short time we had him( we adopted him at age 10 and lost him to osteosarcoma) was worth a lifetime. He was an elegant gentleman that we'll never forget. LT was our baby that had many health problems and went to the rainbow bridge not that long after we adopted her. She was a clown,a sweetheart, she loved her family and stuck like glue to our son. We miss them both terribly. They paved the way for their 6 (total) sisters and brother that have become a part of our family now.

Our beloved Holly was diagnosed with a very painful terminal cancer and we helped her over the Rainbow Bridge on February 18, 2006 as the final act of love we could give to her. Holly, my baby…I love and miss you so much! You were such a silly, affectionate, gorgeous girl. I always looked forward to seeing that big beautiful nose squeeze through the basement door as I returned home from work. This weekend was so hard for me…not having you anymore. I wish you didn’t get this awful illness that caused you so much pain. When I saw that tumor come back after only one week after surgery…I knew it was time. I hated losing you, you played such an important role in my happiness, but I could see the pain in your eyes. I held you in my arms all the way to the Rainbow Bridge and I will be there one day to hold you again. Everybody misses you…Mindy (greyhound), Benjamin (maltese), and Chloe (cat). I promise to take extra special care of Mindy…as you always did. I cry a lot…but I know you are no longer in pain which makes it better. It was just too fast…not even a week after diagnosis. Have fun barking and running around like a silly nut, I am so glad you can again. No more pain my baby…no more pain. I love you and miss you…wait for me…when it is my time…I will run like lightening to you. All of our love…Mama, Daddy, Miranda, Grandma, Mindy, Benjamin, and Chloe

We brought Maggie home from a greyhound picnic, a few months after our first grey, Jake. Maggie was a "special needs" dog. She was extremely timid and needed a home with an outgoing grey. She and Jake hit it off immediately, enjoying many days in our yard playing tag and hunting "big game" together. Maggie was truly one of God's gentle creatures and we will miss her. Run free.

"Such a long, long time to be gone and short time to be there."

Bandit (Bounder) Griggs

Bounder Boy was adopted when he was about 5 years young. He looked like a bandit so that was his name. I saw him at a greyhound picnic. He was in a home and returned and in a foster home with like 8 other Dogs (God bless those folks. He was a bit pushy and distant for a while. But settled in just great. Taught him to bark when he had to go out and he learned to bark when he was hungry. He would just lay so quiet by my room and when I got up he would jump and bark to let me know it's time to go out. If I happened to yell at him he would just stop and sit and give me those sad puppy eyes. But always wanted to be by my side. Even when he was sick he still followed me everywhere. Bandit was 14.
