Gracie

Went to Rainbow Bridge on 6 May 2006

I adopted Gracie and Hywi from RWA this year. Both wonderful dogs and their arrival helped me greatly with the loss of my Tia. Not long after we got her she developed an eye problem and after seeing a specialist it was decided she had glaucoma. She had to have the eye removed and she adapted very well, was much happy without the pain and was very chirpy. So it a real blow when several week later I discovered her collapsed in the kitchen. The vet discovered that poor Gracie had a tumour about the size of two oranges in her spleen and it had ruptured. She also had small tumours in her liver, had lost a lot of blood and was fading, so we made that decision to let her go to the Rainbow Bridge.  We were devastated we knew she was not a young dog but I thought I might have her for a year or two at least. Having gone through the trauma of her eye and now this, it was just not fair.  Gracie loved watching the world go by, laying in her usual place just inside the door, getting fussed by all the girls at the stables. Everybody thought she was lovely and everyone misses her. It was a real pleasure to have had her even if it was just for a short time, she made everyone very happy.  - Sandra Cullingham.

 

Sasha

Born 27th June 1994 - Died 21st June 2006

You left us in the peace of our lounge whilst I cuddled you on your favourite bed. This feeling inside without you is so raw. It was the worst day of my life losing you and I will never forget you and your loving nature and big brown eyes. From the day I bought you home as a puppy you filled our lives with so much joy and happiness. You were an important member of our family. You cured every child with a fear of big dogs because you were so fantastic with children , they flocked around you and you lapped it up and wagged your "stump" as hard as you could and wiggled your bottom. Your favourite place to be kissed was the top of your head. If we asked you for kisses you licked us and I shall miss your kisses for evermore and the way you would back yourself up to me when I was sitting on the floor and promptly sit on my lap. The house is so quiet and empty without you especially when the children are at school. The postman misses your barking and the way you then licked him eagerly as the door opened. He misses you going from door to door with him on his round as if you were checking everybody got their mail safely. Everybody in our road is heartbroken my darling girl and I dread it each time I see somebody knowing they are going to ask where you are as they were all used to seeing you and I on our numerous daily walks around the village. The little children have even held a mass for you in the communal play area and scattered petals. We bought a beautiful rose bush aptly name "Peace" and have planted it in your memory. You were the oldest Rottweiler our vet had ever dealt with. Part of my heart has died forever and I miss you so much it aches. The night times are the worst for me as you were always lying at my feet and when midnight comes I long to take you on your usual walk to the green where you would chase the foxes in vain. I had to let you go a week short of your 12th birthday but we still had a little party for you on the day itself. Charlotte, Mikey & Georgia wanted a Smartie cake but I felt you were far too classy for that so Thornton's it was! We sung happy birthday and I was relieved to be able to collect your ashes on your birthday and bring you home. God bless you sweet princess and I can't wait to see you again one day at Rainbow Bridge. Will never ever forget you and will miss you forever. All my love & kisses and belly rubs ~ Mummy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Here is a letter that Charlotte wrote for you [aged 8]  

Dear Sasha

You were such a lovely dog. Of course you know that we all will miss you. We promise we will always think about you everywhere we go. You might even be the only thing we think about in life. You were so special to me and all of us. We will say a little prayer for you.    love Charlotte

Tyson

Passed away at 11 years old

We rescued Tyson when he was 2 years old.  He was not a full rottie, having some Doberman in him, but he was to us a perfect boy.  He passed away aged 11 years due to heart problems.  We miss him so much and think of him daily. - Jeana
