THE 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 and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carry him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend 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 together you and your special pet cross the Rainbow Bridge.

Christmans 2007 wasn't the happy time of year that it was supposed to be, with the unexpected passing of one of the Greats to have ever set foot on our shores.

Our beautiful Argento certainly made his mark on the standard of Australian bred dogues, producing many Champions and siring some impressive offspring.

Our Big Guy will be sadly missed by myself and his handler Andrew who spent many happy days together. Be at peace my beautiful boy, I miss you more than words can say.

See more photos of Argento here.

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I would walk
right up to heaven and bring you home again.

There are no words to describe the loss of a wonderful dog, our home will never be the same.

Chevelle showed me the meaning of unconditional love. Chevelle was my foundation bitch and confirmed what loving and faithful dogs this breed really are.

My beautiful Brieux received his wings this sad day in May. He was and will forever be my "Little Belgian Bozo" who gave so much love and effection. Brieux was my special boy who will be greatly missed, but at least I see him live on in his children and grandchildren.

Take care my little man, we will be together again one day.

Merlot was one special boy who was much loved by all who met him, especially the Bates Family. Merlots life was sadly cut short due to an unfortunate accident, but his memory lives on in his 3 children, which arrived in this world 1 week before he left us. He truely was a magnificent, loving boy, we miss him dearly.
