Chica and Travis over the rainbow bridge

Here are my two kidz who have crossed over the bridge.  Chica was our rescued shepherd mix who died of kidney failure in 2008 at nearly 14 years of age.  She was a true comic and always made us laugh with her antics.  We lost Travis to pancreatitis in 2005, and his loss like to killed us all.  We found him on a dirt road nearly starved to death, and with the worst case of mange our vet has ever seen.  He was all of 6 weeks old at the time and with time, TLC and medical care was one of the best dogs you could ever want to meet.  Everyone instantly fell in love with him.  The beginning of his life was terrible, as was the last two weeks, but everything in between was wonderful.  Despite the pain of losing our dogs and the relatively short time they can stay with us, it's so worth it to have them share our lives.  :-)

Chica and Travis are both great-looking happy looking dogs. I think if they were asked, they'd say what a wonderful life they had with you and yours.
The worst thing with dogs as far as I see it, is they just don't live long enough. Thet are so great, but they stay with us such a short time.It's a shame.
I wish God would invent an Immortal Dog.......

How fortunate they were to have such loving owners! I'm sorry for your loss. I know how much our pets mean to us. I believe we will see them again some day.

Awww, thank you for sharing the photo of your  wonderful furbabies and I'm so sorry for your loss. They were sooo cute and what amazing stories we have of survival, rescued pets and loss. I believe they are God's gift to us to teach us the true meaning of unconditional love. They were your joy, but the joy you brought to them was priceless. Thank you for sharing your story and lovely picture. Judy
