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.... Author unknown...

Wilbur
Wilbur came into our lives when he was 11 months old and his owner could no longer take care of him. He was a wonderful pug. Many strangers commented on how beautiful he was but he was also gentle, playful and full of energy. We noticed early on that he needed to drink huge amounts of water every day so we had him examined by the vet. They soon determined Wilbur had a congenital problem with his liver and surgery was recommended. Although we were told he was a good candidate for surgery, Wilbur never recovered. He was 15 months old when he died. Although he was only in our lives for 4 months, he was the most beautiful and charming dog an owner could ever ask for. We loved him and tried our best to save him but it wasn't meant to be. We have let him into our hearts and there he will remain with us forever. Henry and Shelley

Jack
This is my Jack, my dearest, sweetest boy. Jack originally came to me as a foster child. In fact, Jack was my very first Pug foster. To make a long story short - I was moving, gave Jack to another foster, moved. I missed Jack so much during and after my move, I went back and adopted him. Jack was a little old man with numerous health issues. But, I didn't care, I loved him. And Jack loved me. That's all that mattered. Jack loved playing and being with all his Pug sisters, his Pek sister and, his 3 feline sisters. They all cuddled and slept together, with me. The last 3 days of my Jackie Boys life, his sisters and I never left his side. On the morning of 1/25/2012, Jack let me know it was time. He was ready to go over the Rainbow Bridge and get his angel wings. Jack will be truly and deeply missed by a lot of people, especially his family - Mommy Loves You Baby Boy !!! XOXOXO P.S. This pic was taken the day Jack received his angel wings !!!

Bubba
This week we lost Bubba. He had been my grandson Jack's Pug for as long as Jack has been on this earth. Bubba was his pillow, his friend and his companion. There was nothing that Jack would do that Bubba would not tolerate. When his brother Wyatt came along, Bubba was already suffering from Diabetes and was blind. It did not matter. Bubba became Wyatt's pillow friend and tolerated both boys. He will be missed by everyone. Larry and Kathy Nathan

Moby
Moby loved to dress up for holidays & cuddle on the couch with us. Being in the Navy, we moved a lot for the past 9 years of his life & he was always a wonderful friend in our lives helping us meet new people in each new city. Our pug taught us that in the end, love is all there is....M. & D. Peters
