inmemory

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow
Bridge. When our beloved pets die, they journey to this
idyllic spot. There are meadows and hills enough for all
to frolic freely, and plenty of food, water and sunshine.
Each and every animal is warm and comfortable.
Those pets who have been ill or aged are restored
to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are
made whole and strong. Each is just as we remember in
our dreams of days and times gone by. Our pets are
happy and content at Rainbow Bridge, except for one
small thing. Every creature misses someone special,
whom they've left behind.
The animals all run and play together, but the day
comes when one suddenly stops, and looks into the
distance. Bright eyes are intent; an eager body begins to
quiver. Suddenly, running from the group, flying over the
green grass, legs going faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and you and your special
friend come together in joyous reunion. 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 the Rainbow Bridge
together.

Candie was my very first dog, part german shepherd/doberman, I rescued her from the pound at 5 months of age, She was a very wild child getting into everything, but I knew she was going to turn out to be a super pet, and that she was . I took her to obedience classes and she graduated in 2nd place, I was very proud. She was my protector, my comforter, my playmate my alarm clock and my best friend. She was always there for me when I needed her and at the end I was there for her. She died in my arms in the wee hours of the morning when everyone else was fast asleep, except for me, I knew she needed me, and I was there.

Candie, girl of my dreams, words cannot express how much I miss you and I think about you every day , keep safe till we meet again, Love mommy

Kalhua aka "boogie boogie" was my second girl, part border collie/ part beagle. This was the cutest little puppy ever, she was also very smart, there was not a crate made that she couldn't escape from, she could open doors and climb fences, which in the end is what caused her to have such a short life. After moving back to the city after being on a 20 acre farm she just refused to stay put, and scaled the fence and got hit by a car. I was devistated she was such a wonderful girl, and I miss her very much. The only comfort I have is still being able to visit her sister that a good friend of mine has, as we both took puppies home that crazy day after a long bus ride home from the Royal Winter Fair. Ebby is now 10 years old and lives on a farm with goats and horses, I just love going to visit her, she reminds me so much of my boogie. Candie and her little boogie are now together once again, keep safe my babies till I see you again, mommy
