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....

Chuckie was pulled from an Ohio kill shelter and was the cutest lil guy... but Chuckie had been abused so severely that at 1 yr old was terrified of the world. After many attempts to help this poor soul, he was sadly laid to rest where he would hurt no more.
We love and miss you Chuckie .....

Remember Chuckie
Like every good novel that Snoopy writes….”It was a dark and rainy night”….but in this case it really was. On a dark and rainy November evening in 2005, I made the trip from Lewisburg, OH to Jackson Center. Little did we know that Miss Pebbles would turn out to be one of the most beautiful rays of sunshine in our lives! With her big beautiful brown eyes, she kept flashing me looks on the way home as if to say – “Is this the beginning of a wonderful journey for me? Am I really going home?” It was love at first sight for me when I saw this Lhasa Apso on the Lil’ Paws Rescue website. Little did we know that she was as smart as she was gorgeous! Although she did love me – she was, without a doubt, a totally devoted ‘daddy’s girl’ from the moment she saw him. She walked into straight into the living room and planted herself in front of his recliner – and stared lovingly at him. When I called her name, she glanced over her shoulder as if to say “Oh yeah, you. Hey! Thanks for bringing me to the man of my dreams!” and she turned back to face him again as if I was invisible. She fell madly in love with him and they were inseparable for the next 2 years. Our two grown sons would lay on the floor – loving and playing with her. Many times they lamented that they wish they could have had a dog like her when they were growing up because she was the coolest dog in the world. We definitely thought so.
In July of 2007, we suffered the cruelest blow possible to a pet owner when we lost her to breast cancer. It was sad to lose her, but our lives would have been so much sadder if we had never had the opportunity to adopt and give our love to this beautiful girl. The best part of her story is that we were able to give her the best life possible for her last 2 years on this earth and for that, we are very grateful. There are many unknowns when adopting a dog from rescue and we were full of questions that could not be answered. What you learn from the experience of adopting a rescue dog is simply this - whatever facts you know or don’t know about the dog doesn’t really matter. What is important is the difference you are able to make in a dog’s life and the tremendous love you get in return. Yes! It is worth the experience…..even when you lose the best one you’ve ever had. We have 3 dogs now and all of them are awesome dogs from rescue. What a journey!  Thanks for blessing our lives with Pebbles .... She was the best!! We still miss her!!
