Our beloved Casey passed over the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday, Dec. 7th. She was so lucky to have been in the most wonderful foster home for the final weeks of her life…she could not have asked for more love and the best of care. Thank you to Leann, David and Dale for showing Casey that life could be good. No more pain, sweet girl…just happy days with all of the other gray dogs that left before you. We will all see you on the other side. Rest in Peace, girl…you were so loved and will be greatly missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing you.

Sadly, we had to let Enzo go over the Rainbow Bridge on October 6, 2010. Enzo was a sweet gentle giant. From the moment he headed home with his 3 new Weimar buddies, he had a wagging stub. He pooped, pee’d and chased squirrels in his new yard, slept on the dog beds by the fireplace and at night retired to the king size bed with a down comforter on top and a Weimer brother beside him. He quickly adapted to his new environment. He ate well the first and second day because that was his favorite pass time. Smelling each room and each bush in the yard, he liked his new family. Alas, his legs were already failing him, for what we know know was the final chapter for Enzo.

After further examination, Enzo had an enlarged spleen which was 3 times the size of his heart. This much have really been massive and dense considering he had a huge heart of gold. Further and conpliacting his condition, he also had a tumor on his cervical spine which made it hard for him to lift his neck. He could make great eye contact with us when we laid on the floor below him. He struggled to stand and walk but always had a wag.

All God’s creatures should have a last supper, and so would Enzo. He had a wonderful large bowl of home made beef stew, sausage patties, Chic-Filet chicken tenders and a Nestle Chocolate crunch bar for dessert. He lapped up the beef stew like a puppy. He gently took the sausage and chicken from my finger tips, and really enjoyed his chocolate. As much as he loved to eat, this was his first step into Heaven. With a full belly he had an hour full body gentle massage while being softly talked too & repeatedly hearing his name.

He was held in my lap while scratched & loved for his final moments. While the vet warned of loss of bowel or bladder function, he never did even in death as he was too regal and proud for that. He passed onto Heaven with a very full belly and tightly held in a loving embrace. Poof the pain was gone. He is now without pain with a family who loves him and will keep safe and wagging forever.

We are sad to report that Chaps has passed over the Rainbow Bridge. He brightened the lives of those who spent time with him and he will be missed.

“It pains us terribly to let you know that Chaps passed away on June 24th. It was a combination of blastomycosis, bloat and perforated lungs. He just didn’t have the strength to fight any more.

It’s unbelievable how Chaps bonded to us and became part of our lives. We were blessed with him for only 100 days. They were the best of days for us, and we hope they were for him, also. He was an important part of our lives and our family.

My idea of heaven is having my wife and myself and all of our animals together, all of us at the peak of our mental and physical abilities. I hope I have a chance to see him again.”

Sadly, Smokey passed over the rainbow bridge on February 23, 2010.   This gentle boy had not had a rough life before he came into our care. He was not on heartworm prevention, so unfortunately, he was Heartworm positive and had begun to go through HW treatment.  However, due to his advanced heartworm disease, his body systems began to fail, and ultimately suffered renal failure prior to passing.  As we think about Smokey, we remember the short period that we were able to provide a loving environment. He was surrounded by friends when he passed over the rainbow bridge.
