Mmmmm..... good bone.

A nap time cuddle with  11 week Sassy

Tasha 12 yrs & Maxi 12 weeks

Tasha The Wonder Dog was a lab mix whom I rescued when she was just 8 weeks old.  Some neighborhood kids had adopted a pup from a local family without parental permission.  Of course, they discovered that one can't hide a puppy from a Dad.  The family responsible for the litter would not take the puppy back, so the brokenhearted kids came begging at my door.  "Please, oh please....or we'll have to take her to the pound."  I am a German Shepherd person but entirely too softhearted, so I took her in and never looked back.  And that's how I ended up with Tasha the Wonder Dog!  She was my friend and faithful companion for nearly 13 years.  

Beach Buddies!

Nap Time

Towards the end, the poor darling had Glaucoma resulting from dry-eye, half-blind and half-deaf, and then came the diagnosis of canine lymphoma.  After going through months of doggy-chemo, and an all too brief remission, we finally said goodbye to our darling Tasha.  She will forever hold a special place in my heart.

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 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 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. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away 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......."
