| 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 the 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.... Author unknown... |
Beloved master, should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest… and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands. |

| In Honor Of Our Special Friends That Have Gone On Before Us |
| SAMSON "Papa Bear" |
| Samson went to the Rainbow Bridge on December 10,2005. He started his journey peacefully with his Mom and Dad by his side. He was REALLY the best dog in the whole world! He was a big bundle of unconditional love. Samson wasn't feeling very well in his final days, but we all are joyful that he is no longer in any pain. He is probably napping underneath the biggest tree near the bridge while all of the other dogs run and play. (Unless of course someone wanders by with a rope or a treat) He's no doubt being the peaceful, gentle giant he was when he was here. He will truly be missed by his parents, sisters, and brother. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH SAMSON!! WE'LL MEET YOU AT THE BRIDGE SOON |

| SCARLETT |
| Scarlett went to the Rainbow Bridge on December 17,2005. She was 14 years old. Her "Buba" said that she was one of the reasons he got to experience God's love here on earth. Her health had been declining over the past month, but surely she's running around and playing at the bridge now. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SCARLETT! |
| Maggie was only 21/2 when she left her family on June 26, 2006. She may have had a stroke, or a disc issue, but it left her without usage of her legs. She was the sweetest dog in the world. She loved to swim, ride in cars and play ball. Her family will miss her and think of her often. WE LOVE YOU MAGGIE! |

| MOSBY |
| Mosby was a fabulous dog with a heart of gold. His life was tragically cut short due to complications from a heat stroke on July 3rd. Mosby loved to play fetch and was just a good ol boy! His owners got him before they were married and he was a faithful friend all along. They will miss him terribly. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU MOSBY! |
| RILEY |
| Riley was a trooper! A bit of a grump at times, but at 16, I personally feel he had earned is right to have an occasional attitude. The first "child of the Sharpley family. Riley had one of the biggest personalities of any dog you would ever encounter; and in spite of his grumpy old man personality, he often showed his gentle side. I'm going to miss my buddy! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU RILEY REST WELL....NO MORE PAIN! |
