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 that 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....

 

We would like to honor your loved ones who have crossed the bridge by posting a memorial of them below. Please send a digital photo & a testament to your beloved hound to webmaster@tristatebassets.org.

Hannah

In memory of Hannah, who is running free. We adopted Hannah 8 years ago. She was not the top student in obedience school and would never win the prize for friendliest pooch but as Frank Sinatra said, she did it her way...and we truly miss her and loved her for who she was.  She was a great coworker in her later years.  Although she was not very social with other animals in her early years, her last few months brought a new appreciation and tolerance for my daughter's 2 cats, Moe and Beanman, while she moved back during a college internship.  Although she typically never robbed anything from the table, Hannah once enjoyed an entire half of a poppyseed roll from the kitchen table and found a whole piece of pizza while walking through the woods.  We sure do miss you. RIP Hannah.




Hannah Banana
My beloved Hannah Banana crossed the rainbow bridge at 8:40 a.m. on July 20, 2017. She was my first little girl, my fur baby. We loved you Hannah and had a wonderful 12 years together. Until we meet again girl ❤

Holly

I would like to thank Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue for the best 6 years with my best friend Holly. I got her when she was 6 years old and she was a total surprise. She was the best dog I could have ever asked for. She loved her treats and love the doo dah parade every year. She was our best friend and we miss her every day. Not a day goes by that we do not think about her.  We love you Holly.
