What is 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 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. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him 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...

"Heaven is the place of final and complete happiness, God has prepared for us - and if animals are necessary to make us happy in heaven, then you can be sure God will have them there."--Rev. Billy Graham

When God had made the earth and sky,
The flowers and the trees.
He then made all the animals,
The fish, the birds and the bees.
And when at last He'd finished,
Not one was quite the same.
He said, "I'll walk this world of mine, And give each one a name."
And so he traveled far and wide
And everywhere He went,
A little creature followed him Until it's strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth And in the sky and sea,
The little creature said, "Dear Lord,There's not one left for me.
"Kindly the Father said to him, "I've left you to the end. I've turned my own name back to front
And called you "dog", my friend."

Laddy

Wladyslaw/Ladislas Gorczyca aka  Laddy

4/16/2007 - 8/27/2010   R.I.P

Laddy is in the center with his Litter Mates


Laddy was in the first litter Molly had... It's always hard to hear about these things, but part of living is dying, but I don't have to like it.          

From his owners;

We all loved him very much... He was killed last August. We all still miss him very much.  He enjoyed all the attention he could get! He was such a lover boy! And would lay on his back until some one would pet him.  ...After Laddy died, my husband John wrote a tribute for him, I have atttached it for you.  We sorely miss him.  We buried him in his favorite spot the middle of our field where he would play frisbee untill he would drop,  he was such a blessing for our family.

Run Free Laddy, see you at the bridge.......

“We are born so that we can learn how to live a good life, like loving everybody all the time and being nice.”

“Dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.”

Things I learned from Laddy!

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Always say hello and greet people with a smile.

Run and play every day.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Enjoy what the seasons bring.

A run through the fields, a roll in the leaves, or frolicking in the snow

On warm days, stop to lie on your back and roll in the grass.

On hot days, water from the hose and rest in the shade.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a ride.

Always check out the docks before going fishing.

Always do something with someone.

Frisbee

Ready, Set…Go!

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.

Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Love unconditionally – Always Love back



ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY
