Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, they go 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 have 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. Their bright eyes are intent; Their eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying them 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.

Tye Puppy (1996-2008)

(The cutest & most loving 4# Pomeranian...with a Summer Haircut)

As Tye Puppy kicked free from this body 
that had given out in this life, 
she saw the Rainbow Bridge just ahead. 
Waiting for her were Prissy & Fallon, 
my other Poms in spirit, and Big Jake, 
my Manx in spirit. 
They welcomed her back home and thanked her 
for taking care of their humans 
while Tye was on this earthplane. 

Tye Puppy was a caring and loving pet 
who extended unconditional love to her human
...which will always be appreciated. 
We will all be together again
...down the road
...as all of us cross the Rainbow Bridge 
when our time comes
...and knowing that...makes the waiting easier. 
Tye was a part of my Past; 
she has left my Present; 
and will meet me again in my Future. 

Until that day
...Tye's companionship was a blessing 
that will never be forgotten. 
She uplifted my spirit.

My Baby
Pretty girl may you finally rest in peace.
It was my honor and privilege to take care of you.
You gave me your unconditional love
which I will never forget.
I know the pain you suffered is finally gone.
You will truly be missed.
God bless you and may you find heavens gate.



Kirie
Kirie, or Babygirl as she was often called,
gave me the happiest 5 months
I could have ever asked for.
She died of Parvo and
she also had a heart murmur.
She had such a wonderful spirit,
and though mischievous at times,
we loved her with all we had and
she returned that love.

The tireless devotion he gave to help abandoned animals
