Rainbow Bridge

Author unknown

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.... 



This page is dedicated to our friends we have lost, but will never forget.

Nova Vom Spitzbubenburg   SCH 1, AD, BH  Multi V-Rated

The day after Nova arrived at my home, I took her with me for a walk.  We climbed a small hill, and as I neared the top, I lost my footing and landed on my backside.  Nova was instantly in front of me and lay down against my legs preventing me from sliding any further.  Although I was not in any serious danger as it was only a little hill, her response was both genuine and heart warming.  As I grew to know Nova more, I learned that this was who she was.  Though Nova came to us as an adult, she loved and respected us as though we had raised her from birth.  No one could ever ask for a better dog or a more faithful friend.  She was loyal, obedient, loving, trusting--she was a great friend.  Nova was strong and confident, beautiful and sweet.  Nova blessed our lives greatly by being with us.  She was truly a Guardian Rottweiler in every sense and she will be missed terribly.
