  Our Rainbow Bridge Kids 
 


 

Here are our beloved , cherished and horribly missed furr-babies,

all of which are waiting at The Rainbow Bridge. 

These are either our personal pets, or babies we have bred,

As their breeders, they will always be "our kids". 
 

It is our core belief, that every one of these babies came into our lives

to TEACH US a lesson.  We believe the same is true for all pets. The key

for us as humans, is to be "listening" to our pets.  If your mind is

OPEN and YOU are paying attention, they speak VOLUMES about

how they are feeling, & what is going on inside of them, good & bad!
 


 

TEDDI  

1958 - 1967
 

Randye's Dad, Teddi the GSD & her poodle buddy Nikki, all of

whom are sadly at the bridge.  Teddi had cancer & Nikki sadly

drowned in the family pool when no one was watching him.

Please watch your old pets especially around a pool.
 


 

Enie Louise

1969 - 1978
 

Our beloved Dobie girl whom we lost to tortion and bloat

way before her time.  Enie was kibble fed.

 


 

Hector aka "Bubby"

1973 - 1989
 

Hector was the best & only "bird" dog I ever owned.

Pictured with his then 3 yr. old buddy Teri.  I attribute Hector living

to be almost 17 yrs. to not vaccinating him except when I had to for

 Rabies.  Heaven knows I fed him a horrible diet of Hi Pro & Pedigree.

Brianna.  Granny was EVERYONE'S best friend. "Granny" will ALWAYS

  be remembered for that SMILE, which she did on command.



 

April  aka "Muffin"

 Teri's beloved companion & our TERRIFIC ranch dog.

"Snuggles"

April  1985 -  Dec. 1999
 

Thanks to Teri, Snuggles was our first cat.  Snuggles was THE BEST mouser

ever.  I loved the way she would always "Talk" to me with her mewoing.

We miss Snuggles and know that Teri was there to welcome her kitty home.

Losing Snuggles was like losing another part of Teri, all over again. 

 Life somehow, does go on.

Losing you was THE hardest.  Even though you had problems in the beginning,
we thought you would be alright. We were very wrong.  You took a big part of
our hearts, as we held you close as you took your last breath!

 I can rest knowing you are safe and in good company now. I know Grandma
 Brianna was there to welcome you home.

Sadly this page will grow.
 

We believe that IF people will change how they are caring for

are doing to their pets, by giving them a better diet, clean

fresh water & air, and  STOP over-vaccinating, we might just

be able to keep our pets IN our lives for a much longer time.

 

What we are striving to do is educate people that LESS really is MORE!

We have lived this, and know that also feeding a FRESH, NON-PROCESSED

diet can make a BIG difference in the health of your Furr Baby!
