She and John visited children's hospitals in both Akron, OH and Tacoma, WA for 5 1/2 years. She loved her job and was wonderful with the kids, parents and staff. She was the protector in our "pack" and was always on the alert - slept with one eye opened. She is greatly missed by all who knew her. |

| Teak loved the snow. When we were in Ohio he would lay in the yard until he looked like a snow drift. We had to force him in to chip off the ice and he would go right back out! |

| Frosa's Mahogany Mystique Teak 10/14/00 - 12/3/06 Teak was a wonderful pet. He was loving and cared about everyone that walked through the door. He loved the snow, bones, weight pulling and sleeping. He was happiest doing something "with you". We miss his snoring and his soft, gentle kisses. |
| Teak was a cool guy! |

| Rainier's A Thundern Avalanche - Auroara Owned and loved by our friend, Paul, in Alaska, Auroara was a very special girl. She was very loving and enjoyed spending time with her "dad". We cry along with Paul at her loss. |

| 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.... Author unknown... |
