I just read this in my mailbox. TO EVERYONE IN LOVING MEMORY OF CASSIE BOND AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS SINCE THE PASSING OF " CASPER T " CASSIE BOND HAS PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING AT 8:15 AM. CASSIE HAD TO BE PUT TO SLEEP BECAUSE SHE WAS SO SICK AND WAS SUFFERING. I STAYED AWAKE WITH HER...

Today marks one year that our little foo-foo boy Buddy went to the bridge. We still miss him and think of him everyday. It was hard that he went so suddenly, but I think that is how Buddy wanted it. I was just looking through the photo albums at some of his pics. I took a lot of him in 4 years...

Three years ago today was the last time I looked into Quigley's brown eyes, seeing his pain and wisdom and love and request to be let go. Three years since I've felt that silky head under my hand, and since I've heard his cacophony of grunts, groans and moans. Quigley was a good dog...

My dear Odie went to the Bridge. He was my first foster for Linda, but I adopted him myself (big surprise). :naughty: He was old then... about 9 years old.... but he gave me 7 more awesome years of him just being Odie. If he were a person, he'd have been a beer swilling, cigar smoking, poker...

Gina (NY) posted this this morning. Please pray for the family. When Lorrie woke this morning, she found Sparky had crossed over during the night. He was asleep with her as always, and had gone to sleep ok and then got off the bed during the night and back again. Lorrie said he wasn't...

This is Toot. She was gorgeous. Got her from a "reputable breeder". Came to discover later that other breeders did not like her. She was breeding dogs for show so took no interest in any problems that you had with one of her dogs who was only a pet. After attacking me on Christmas Day...

Poor Ben passed away last month, he was 9yrs old and suffered a seizure. I can't describe how awful it was watching him but it is some comfort that he died with me, and at home. He will be sorely missed, he was such a great dog and brought a lot of happiness.

Kalli came into our lives in 1991. She was a birthday present from my husband. We were young and knew nothing about picking out a dog. We found her in the newspaper. She was so adorable, but a little tempermental, especially after the children arrived. She was better after the second child...

For a few of you who might recall my friend Ed here in Ontario, I received this note this morning. After a short illness from kidney failure Casper went to the bridge last night. He came from the same breeder as my Tynan. He was only about 2 years older than Tynan. A very beautiful pup...

Maggie Mae died today. I think she was suffering with heart failure. I don't have any pictures of her but she reminded me of Gabby. Maggie Mae was given to Lorraine, my mother-in-law, some years ago. We think she was around 15 when she passed away. Maggie Mae was a lovable cocker, really...

Toby was 12 1/2 born in October. I gave him to my parents for Christmas. They paid so much attention to him we joked about him being the favorite of all of us kids. They cooked for him and never told him no. He was my mothers dog and I think when she died she was my dad's connection to her. Dad...

3-4-09 will be 7 yesrs since I lost my Angel Emily so sudden to Kidney desease. It seems like yesterday and I miss that little gal (my heart dog) as much today as I did 7 years ago. God Bless you my angel. We will be togather again ,I know. Love mom.

I have been a little quiet this week. It's because on 2/27/2008 I lost my heart, my Bunkie. Sleep well my little love. You lived a brave painful life here on earth. I know you are funnin, runnin, and of course with a ball in your mouth at the Rainbow Bridge. I love my Pumpkin. Rest well...

I thought that this is the perfect time to start a Rainbow Bridge thread. We are coming up on the first anniversary of our loss of the three. So I will start this tribute to the four cockers that Michael and I lost in 2008.
