Rimedog

Rimedog: When I first picked up Rimedog from the shelter, all they told me is that he was found wandering the streets of New Jersey. Why would some one abandon such a sweet, loveable dog? I will never have the answer to that question. As a foster mom, I love all breeds of furbabies, but growing up I always had a schnauzer so I wanted to add one to my family. Rimedog has been a special part of my family because of his personality. He has always been by sidekick, partner and support during my years as a rescue mom. To give you an example of this; I rescued a dog that had seizures, Rimedog would always predict when these seizures would happen and protect me because when the dog had seizures he would bite. Another story was when I rescued a cocker spaniel that spent most of it's life in a closet and was afraid of people. After seeing Rimedogs interactions with me, over a period of time, he became friendly and we were able to find him a forever home. I have countless stories of how Rimedog has helped in major ways during my years of rescuing.

*The Rainbow Briddge



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....
