Rainbow Bridge

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, someone who was 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

May I go now?

Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless pain filled nights?
I didn't want to go at first I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I promise that I'll not be far and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close where ever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me
You know I loved you too.
So hold me now just one more time and let me hear you say,
Because you care so much for me you'll let me go today."
That rainbow bridge is a special place!

Ch. Vassar Square Corky R.I.P. 6/24/91 --- 9/16/2000	Our Darling Corky went to Rainbow Bridge today. He was a fat healthy 9 yr old. Such a little snob and so stingy with kisses, he showed his little heart off with such joy every time he was on a lead... a push button show dog... dependable, happy, never missed a meal, major pointed from the puppy classes breeder owner handled.

This Dedication is to the Special and the Lost Loves
Now at Rainbow Bridge due to deadly Diseases
& Tragic Accidental Overdoses.

There's always the possibility that this can happen the first time to any breeder.
Hey, there was a first time for me too!! It's not SHAME ON YOU for
"having the problem", but it is SHAME ON YOU if you, as a breeder,
don't take steps to see it doesn't happen again.

In 1986 Fanny Mae, died in my arms at 18 weeks with a shrunken atrophied liver. At that time, none of my vets knew what it was. As soon as we were aware of what it was and the "possibility" that it was hereditary because the sire had thrown it two out of four in a friend's litter also, I removed all the siblings and Champion relatives from my breeding program and have been careful to stay away from these lines ever since.
