In Loving Memory

If your beloved hound has gone to the Rainbow Bridge,
please send us a photo so that we can remember him or her here.

Mujibur

With a heavy heart I have to let the greyhound community know of the loss of a special dog. Mujibur was put to sleep on September 17. He was a good dog and will be missed in our house.

We got Muji about 11 years ago to "train" because he jumped on everything and everybody. We fell in love with his independent stubborn streak and decided to keep him. (I think Marcia knew he would be perfect for us.) He did all the things a greyhound wanted to do -- sleep on the couch, take over the bed, and even eat the trash. We never could get him to stay out the trash. He even learned to remove the child's lock from the cabinet after we had a child to get to the trash. He learned to sit and lay down on command and even wait for food. He was a good protector of the house -- no one could enter if we weren't home in which he earned the nickname "fur-covered razor blade."

Dr. Bruce Bordelon of Kasson was his first and last vet. With his guidance and gentle hands, Muji crossed over the Rainbow Bridge to join the other hounds running happily in the sun. He will be greatly missed.

Sincerely, Paul and Deb Blomberg

Eagle

Eagle (Eagle's Flight) took her final flight home beyond the rainbow
today, June 2, 2006. She lived with us in Hutchinson, Minnesota for 10
years. We adopted her at the age of 5 with Marcia's help and we have
enjoyed her very much. She will be greatly missed by our family and
friends. We enjoyed many long walks together and it was especially fun
to watch her "race" around our house with our other little "poodle" dog,
Daisy. We feel very blessed to have found REGAP and our special Eagle.
She would have been 15 years old in September.

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, 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....
