Skipper 3-18-2004- 11-2-2014

These are just a few of the hundreds of pics of our little guy that were taken in the last few years, sadly his baby pics that could melt your heart are on our floppy discs and our floppy disc player is not working! (Any ideas on what to do about that would be most appreciated.) He had an always happy go lucky attitude that would make us smile no matter how bad our day might have been. And he was there for me during some of my worst times of my illness...We love him with all our hearts and he loved us back! Skipper will be sorely missed by us and anyone whoever met him or knew about him. He passed away at 1P.M. today, at home, after a short time period of gallantly fighting an inoperable cancer, only since October 15 when diagnosed. He is being cremated like all his predecessors and we should be receiving his urn within the next two weeks. PS I too want to be cremated when my time has come…

Until we meet again Skipper…

This was sent to us shortly after I posted about Skipper's death this came via email from a very old and dear friend and I hope that she doesn’t mind me sharing this with all of you…

"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, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm
and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health
and vigour; 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

 I love this poem and I hope it helps a little.





Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love.... they depart to teach us about loss.
A new dog never replaces an old dog; it merely expands the heart. If you have loved many dogs, your heart is very big.”



I think it is heartfelt and well said.
