Rainbow Bridge Poem
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....

To my Bodacious Blue :
It seems like only yesterday I rescued you from a Kennel in a Backyard . You were untrusting of any human and were pretty much scared of other dogs . You were kept in a small outdoor pen and the only so called "toy " you had was a car tire hanging from the top of the cage. You were so mad you would attack that tire everytime someone would walk past your kennel . It took me two weeks to gain your trust . But once I did you were a totally different dog. I brought you home with me and you amazed me by your actions . You were 4 years old . You had never been in a house but somehow you knew how to go outside to potty . You were very smart and learned commands within the first couple weeks. We introduced you to cats and other dogs and let you know they were friends and you accepted them. Bo I still remember the very first day we brought Baby Richard home from the hospital. You were 8 years old . You were so protective over him and would sleep by his bassinet every night. I remember when you peed on his diaper genie, you knew you did wrong and never did it again . You would lay your head softly on his carseat and just look at him trying to figure out what he was. Baby Richard is now almost 5 years old. You stayed by his side and were his buddy. You were also there when we brought home baby Caiden. He loved you right away and would follow you everywhere. He would lay next to you and yell for you when you were upstairs. He always wanted to load you up with treats and you knew when it was time to eat dinner to come sit by his high chair and he would sneak you some goodies. You loved it when we would go 4-wheeling and camping for the weekend. You would ride on the back of my 4-wheeler and run through those fields with me and we were free. I still remember that time at the lake where you went in the water after I jumped in , you were making sure I was okay. I have so many wonderful memories of you Bo and I miss you so much . You were my inspiration to start Vom Blue Rottweiler Rescue because you showed more love than any I have ever seen. You mean the world to me baby boy and I will never ever forget you . I woke up this morning and you weren't there and I was lost . I know we did the right thing and you are at the bridge waiting for me to get there. I just keep thinking about all those good times we had together and how you showed everyone how wonderful Rottweilers are . Everyone is so sad to hear you are gone but you will never ever be forgotten . You touched so many people with your love and kindness. You were sent to the bridge on January 28th 2006 at 9:00 a.m. I will never forget that. You had a very large tumor in your stomach that the doctor feels was cancer and had spread to your brain causing you sudden seizures. You also went into kindey failure :( Bo I would have done everything I could to save you, but there was nothing more I could do but say goodbye and let you go peacefully. You were 12 years old and had lived a long life. We miss you soooooo much and I will see you again one day baby boy. I know you are running free now like a little pup and having so much fun. I had you creamated and I will keep half of your ashes here with me with your clay pawprint and your lock of hair. The other half will be spread in Lynnville, IN were we had so much fun together . Your in my thoughts every second of the day and no other dog will ever be able to replace the hole that has been left in my heart. Goodbye my sweet Bo , We all love and miss you so much. .
