It is with a heavy heart I want to tell everyone that my Baby Girl has crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. She was my companion and strength throughout life’s struggles. She was always there for Deb, Marilyn and me, never complaining, just there with those huge brown eyes wanting to help soothe the pain.…

I wanted to do something in Mac’s memory. He was such a good boy. He was a rescue at 18 months and an ex show dog who, for some reason, had become aggressive in the ring. He was given to me as a gift from the breeder as I’d just lost my 9 year old in…

I just came inside. I put a candle on her grave. I looked up at the night sky and there are so many little stars visible. I am hoping she is with Elliot again… Each night she helped me put big bird to bed and lingered by her cage until she heard Sunny say, “bye bye.” One…
