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, 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 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 quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run 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....

Thank you all for sending me your deepest sympathies. By the emails, I guess Missy impressed all who met her. Please feel free to send in your commends and I will be glad to put them on. Please read on.
I had a wish to have a puppy out of Von Bruins Black Ace Jr and called Jana to see if she had anything. She gave me a number to a person who had bred to AJ. She was a beautiful black and tan out of Mazarati/Lololand lines. She was trained and the owner showed me how well she could do many tricks. So I put a deposit down and waited patiently for the arrival of puppies.
The puppies came and I got a phone call saying that I was not getting a puppy due to bad rumors told about me. I was very upset not because of what was said about me (its a dog eat dog world and people just talk without knowing anything) but that I wasn't getting this puppy that I had wanted.
Days went by and I got another call from the man and he ask how I was doing. I told him I was upset and that I couldn't understand why. He apoloized and told me he would come by and tel me pick my puppy. I could decide on which one they were all so cute. He told Us we could have a second puppy for half price. So we got two and decided to observe them to see which one would work out.
Of course we picked Missy. She had learned to sit, down, and speak within a week and so we sold the other girl and started to work on Missy's socializing.
We put her into Dalene McIntire's Dog Obedience classes at 7 months. She took 2nd place at graduation. 2 months later at Puyallup shows she finished her CD in 3 shows.Well Open was a challenge. She would antisapate something that would non qualify her in at least 10 shows. She was so smart that she knew what to do next.
