Ginger the Gant
On 8 17 09 I lost my soul mate. We spent almost 11 years together; she was gentle with children and I trusted her more than I ever did a person. When I would leave town occasionally, I missed her dearly and when I would return it was heaven. We had each others back and I never locked my doors. When I die my ashes will be put in her grave .

Gracie
It has been almost a year since we lost our bestfriend. I have tried many times to complete this dedicaton to Gracie, but couldn't until now. Gracie was the best dog ever. She was caring, protective, and loving. She was always by our side. Gracie left our lives way too early. We didn't even know that she was sick. We only got to spend four days with her after she was diagnosed. Not enough time to do everything with someone you love. Or hearts still ache for you and there is not one day that goes by that we do not think about you. I know that the day will come when we will be together, until then, enjoy your time at Rainbow Bridge. Gracie Ann 9/25/2002 to 02/16/2010

Gretchen
I have enjoyed reading the sweet and emotional postings here on Rainbow page (although they make me cry!). You all express so well the way I felt when I lost my Gretchen girl. She was with me almost 13 years. I miss her every day. Please check out her slide show that I created in her memory.

Gus
The most wonderful shepherd in the world. He was my heart and soul. He knew me like no other. I will never forget him nor the loyalty and love that he gave. My life will never be the same without him in it. His life was taken way too soon. I hope that there is such a thing as a Rainbow Bridge where he can play with all the balls he wants to.

Gus

It is with heavy heart that I write these words. No other friend and companion of mine has ever deserved greater recognition for loyalty, companionship, or love. Gus joined our family shortly after my wife and I married. Gus was about 6 months old and eager to be a good boy. Coco, our dog who Karen (wife) had before we married was eager to show him the ropes, taking the alpha dog position. She taught such skills as barking when someone knocked or the doorbell rang, walking your human (to maintain their health) and puppy push-ups. After an exhaustive 2 weeks, Coco (not made for leadership) relinquished her duties as alpha to Gus who led dogs in our house until November 15, 2022 when he crossed the rainbow bridge to be, once again, united with Coco.
Gus served our family and everyone in it, every day of his life. Ever the walk companion and protector of our home, no delivery guy left wondering if anyone was home. Gus never lost the joy of patrolling our backyard garden for bunnies and squirrels. Most nights I sat downstairs on the couch with Gus at my feet. We ended our day with a walk through our home turning off lights, locking doors and placing Gus’s bed at the bottom of the stairs. The last few months I would take an extra moment to kneel down with Gus. As he leaned hard against my body I would pat him and tell him about how he was such a good dog.
Gus’s last night on earth was spent by my side. The next day he rested easily at my feet after a gentle walk through the woods. He passed comfortable in my lap, getting the best ear rub I could give him.
I am so happy for my time with Gus that I feel wrong being so sad.
