My Sweet One

Thunder
I helped Thunder cross to the Rainbow Bridge August 8, 2000, just two
short weeks after he had been diagnosed with osteosarcoma.
He was my treasure and will be in my heart forever.

Friendly Thunder - Whelped 4-29-93 (Shiver Me Timber - WR Carlotta).
Thunder raced at Plainfield, CT for one year, winning one race, but always trying hard. In his first 17 starts he finished in the money 15 times. Destiny brought him home, so we could share the richness of his companionship for four short years.

Thunder was raised locally until he was a year old, so we shared some early memories. Look at that tail...Those muddy paws wiped me out that day. He is about three months old here. I could always spot him quickly from the "T-Bone" marking on his face.

All Grown Up and ready to learn how to be a racer.
Next week it's off to training!

He was a sweet, gentle creature even as a puppy.

Thunder sure knew what to do with his "Woody bone".
He would carry it all over the house, shake it and keep it in need of frequent repair .

Thunder was a special boy, who always flooded you with kisses,
renewing your spirit at the end of a long day.
Run sweet Thunder, safe and whole again at Rainbow Bridge.
