Rainbow Bridge
This folder is dedicated to my furbabies that have gone before me.

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....

My Beloved Muffin -- RIP dear lady
"You Are My Sunshine"

One of the first childhood dogs I can remember was a little black and white dog named Scooter. We got her when I was probably 5 or 6 years old from a farmer who had a couple of dogs chasing his young calves. He gave us Scooter and also our first Boxer, Pug.  

When I was 7 or 8 years old, someone went around town poisoning dogs. Scooter, Pug, a neighbor's Boxer, and some other dogs ate the poison and died. Even though I only had Scooter a few short years, she was my very best friend during those years. I told her all my secrets. She silently listened, and never betrayed my trust by telling them to anyone else.    

When I was in my early 30's, a childhood friend had a Rat Terrier, RooRoo. One summer my friend and I decided to go visit her sister in Corpus Christi and then go on to San Antonio to see the sites. When I dropped by her house to pick her up, we took RooRoo to her mother's house for the week. There was something that day that made me realize that Scooter must have been a Rat Terrier also. Then and there I decided I would get a Rat Terrier as soon as I could find one like I wanted, a black and white like Scooter.

I found that Rat Terrier on November 1, 1990. I named her Muffin. She was  undoubtedly the most cherished of all my pets. We moved to Houston together in 1993, just the two of us ready to conquer the world. I lost my beloved Muffin on Friday, May 13, 2005. I know she is waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Pablums
2. Pablums  (July 16, 2009)
When I was a child I had a Boxer named Pablums.  I always said the first thing I would do when I graduated from college was to get another Pablums.  I couldn't find a Pablums (full flash fawn) so I bought a female that I knew had produced what I wanted.  Pablums was born in the summer of 1978.  This is her album.
