Sadly we lost Blue on October 28, 2001.  Ms Blueberry (and affectionately called Blue) came to my daughter as a puppy. I'll never forget the first time I saw her... I immediately fell in love as did everyone who had the privilege to know her.  She was a faithful companion to Lisa. It was hard to hear she had been fatally hit by a car through no fault of anyone. 

Russ never personally met Blue much to my regret but he feels as though he knows her and as a dog lover has been amused when told about Blue's antics.  Even though my relocation to England made it impossible to enjoy Blue on a daily basis, Lisa made sure she kept me up-to-date on her.  Never will I forget the stories about her stealing whole plates of food when she thought no one was looking...

I am happy to have shared in her life and even when I had gone back for a visit, she immediately knew me and greeted me as only Blue could do.  Learn more about Blue by clicking here.

Those that knew her best like to think of her as romping with other dogs who have passed on and waiting for the one she most loved and cared for... to join her one day.  I'm sure she will wait patiently as she always did.  You will be sadly missed, Blue.  We'll join you one day again.

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge

When a dog dies that has been especially close to someone here, that dog 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 and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the dogs 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 dogs are happy and content, except for one small thing: they 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. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away 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 dog, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together......."
