Awaits us at the Rainbow bridge :

Rainbow Bridge

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....

( Gray's Jay Cub  X  Hangin Tree Black Annie) Rockie was a beautiful dog that unfortunately was killed waiting for his kids to come home from school at the age of 6. Rockie was the quiet, trusting, always walking at your heel type of dog, (until Rosie gave him the "eye" and away he would go always the follower) 

Great Grandson of Gray's Rockie Bear and "Rosie"  We had the priviledge of having Tuffy for five months he was an exceptional pup that I had a very close bond with, our whole family was devistated when he was hit facturing his front and back leg so badly that it was not fair to him to fix them,  We quietly said goodbye with the help and guidance of our veteranarian on July 12/2009. Our beautiful pup gone forever only to be remembered

Rosie was one of a kind dog, it was not uncommon for her to root out some kind of trouble, but she was always happy and smiling like no other dog I have ever seen, her body curved in her "c" position she would come and gets her pets and be off to find the next adventure, she had a personality like no other for us kids growing up she was the perfect companion always ready for a good romp! In Rosies case though the one time that she was not the leader but the follower was after the death of Rockie, she just seemed to give up, only a few weeks later she quietly laid her head down, and with her family quiety watching she closed her eyes forever.

One of a disapearing generation - Blue's mother was an Alberta Mustang mare

Jay was one of our Original Aussies his mother was a "Mindy" ASCA Red Tri  and his father was "Bear" ASCA Black Tri,  Jay was a constant in the lives of my two brothers and myself , he was very patient and tolerant - He was very protective of us kids and actually fended off several spanks  ( we would go hide in his dog house and there was no way he would let anyone touch you he was like a rabid wolf). Jay lived to a ripe old age is 15 and is still very much remembered. Jay sired several litters of Puppies many of which are spread all over Canada,

Tom and Barb Alston Had "Susie" ASCA red Tri Female, Rockie was also a Jay pup whelped By a female out of SK. her name has Hangin Tree Black Annie ASCA Black Tri

Mindy was our very first Aussie that we had in the early 1980's she is only a distant memory ( I was a child) but I remember that she was always quietly happily waiting, she was easy to love and endured our childhood games with her willing to please personality Mindy is Pictured here at about six months of age
