Rainbow Bridge Memorials

On 5/1/2020, we said goodbye to this sweet boy. He was only 14 yrs young, taken too soon by fibrosarcoma. We only had him for 2 short years but it felt like we had him in our lives forever..

My beautiful baby boy I miss you everyday.  We will be together again someday.

Bosley was the best friend anyone could ever hope for. He was known for sneaking on to the couch and coffee table for maps when we weren’t home, and he would always remind you if you didn’t take the trash out by spreading it all over the floor...

Brandy was a graceful, elegant, lady.  She was a wonderful companion and great friend to Zorro her Brittany brother.

It is with a combination of sadness and gratitude that we announce the crossing of the Rainbow Bridge of our beloved Mingo. We adopted him from NBRAN in 2012 at approx. 6yrs old. After many surgeries (thanks to NBRAN) it was discovered that his neutering was done improperly and kept us from getting him sooner than originally planned. However, it was worth the wait as he turned out to be a great healthy boy who brought not only joy and happiness into our lives but anyone he met.

Buddy came into our world from the National Brittany Rescue & Adoption Network (NBRAN), in late 2009, our first NBRAN adoptee.  Like many rescues, Buddy’s history was rather uncertain and  we think he was about 4 years old.

We lost Dobby on March 14th. He was the best friend/dog we ever had and our hearts break...

Brady joined his brother Alfie seven weeks after Alfie died. Even on the day he died he wanted his tummy rubbed as he wagged his tail.

On 2/03/2020 we lost our beloved Jake. There has never been a sweeter or more gentle dog.  You loved all,  and all loved you. 

It was one year ago that I was asked to become a Foster to an ole gal who was in need. She was in bad shape. Malnourished, filthy matted fur, rotten teeth, healed broken elbow, bad hind legs and bad panic attacks.  The filthy shelter in Trenton, NJ named her Brittany but I called her Sweet Pea.

Through our five years together official does what it means to give unconditional love joy and spirit to all that he met...

This past Friday (1/17/20) our beloved Otto passed over the rainbow bridge...

This puppy was an absolute handful, but he made my life complete...

Dusty was a precious gift that came right at the right time for me.  It still amazes me that an animal that had been treated so badly and was in so much pain could be so sweet and loving...

Chloe was and always will be the best partner I could ever ask for, her sweet and loving character brought me a smile everyday. I could never put into words how thankful I am for being able to grow up with such an amazing and beautiful best friend.

You were heaven sent, beautiful Maggie M. Derby and loved beyond measure. Thank you for watching over us and our home. You are missed more than words can ever say.

Boo will remain in our hearts forever. We had so much fun and loved Boo everyday with as much love as we had and we are so happy to be able to have given him such a fun and loving home.

Forever missing our sweet Jake. Jake had the softest fur coat that I have ever experienced - I miss that about him and stroking his head and face as he just loved that. 

The best companion and beautiful girl dog we could ever hope for. Penny brought endless love and shenanigans to our house and children. She is greatly missed.

Champ was my little buddy and unofficially my wife’s dog. We had a wonderful 11.5 years together and he was very unique as he always wanted to play even with his hip problems.  

Skip was my first dog to have as an adult. He was all mine! He taught me about being responsible for someone other than myself and he also taught me about unconditional love! I miss him and I’m forever thankful for the opportunity to have shared my life with such a happy boy.

We are so heartbroken over our sweet Coco girl passing on the morning of June 23rd. We only had this blessing for eight months and she was 12 1/2 years old, but we couldn't have fallen more in love with a companion if we had her for years.  We are so grateful to NBRAN for allowing this precious girl into our lives, and we will miss her every day.

Misty fought a battle for three years with COPD but it never stopped her from being the redneck that chased squirrels in the field and kept the greyhounds in line. 

We recently lost our sweet senior.  Spec was 13 years old and we had been together for 10 wonderful years.  We miss him and love him so much.

Rest in peace angel of mine, 01/15/2002 to 06/30/2015. Gone but never forgotten.

So hard to type this as I still tear up every time I think of Sam.  He was the happiest little guy & brought boundless joy to our family. It's impossible to convey in words just how silly our little man was...

The hole in my heart will never fill she was the sweetest best friend , I hope there's balls in heaven.

My heart is broken. In January 2019, I had to say goodbye to my friend and best buddy Ozzie. He struggled all during 2018 with various health issues and got progressively weaker throughout December. I wish I could summon all the right words to say now.

With a heavy heart, Ally (14+) crossed over the Rainbow Ridge yesterday...

We adopted sweet Addison in September 2008.  She crossed the rainbow bridge on January 17, 2019... 

I got Gracie in 2012 her previous name was Aliza. She was 7 when I got her I had to say good bye to her November 4 2017.

Lucas would have been 15 years old September 3, 2018, but we had to say farewell on July 18th. He was our baby, our lumpy, our pillow, our cuddle bug, our ninja licker, and our friend. 

We adopted Beau when he was three and his person went into a nursing home...

I had you for 2 and 1/2 wonderful years, and lost you suddenly. Rest well wonderful boy.

Daisy came to be part of our family in the Fall of 2014, after we lost our third Brittany who was one of 5 in our furry family. 

Puddi was a gentle and loving boy. He always greeted me with his love and waggin tail.  He tried to live forever for me.... I will miss him dearly. 

I rescued this beautiful dog 3 years ago from NBRAN. He was a blessing to me, my family and all who knew him. I miss him greatly and thank God for bringing us together.

To our boy Jed, you were the best boy we could have ever hoped for. Fourteen years wasn’t enough, but we do appreciate being a part of your pack and will always keep you in our hearts. We have a big hole in our family without you with us; but know we will see each other again one day. We love you Jed!

Our Sweet Boy, Jordi, born 2003, came to us through the amazing volunteer NBRAN network in Feb 2007. 

Sugar Baby crossed the bridge 9/14/2018. She was with me for 2 years. 

We were privileged to adopt Arrow in 2005. His original name was Cardon. 

My relationship with Tommy (aka Thomas) began August 13, 2016. He was my first foster dog. That day, after he met my Britt, Ellie, he expressed his joy by rolling in the grass in the yard and sniffing everywhere. 

Kip J - Adopted through NBRAN 5/22/09 . Passed away 2/5/18 .Crazy Kip J is what we called the little man. He loved the park and would go for as many miles as you wanted to take him. 

We lost a treasured friend. Our little boy who used to lay his gentle head in our laps. 

Shane, then called Chester, was adpopted from NBRAN back in February of 2008. We had him for 10 amazing years!

We lost our beautiful incredibly intelligent hard-working back yard bug hunter this week.   

We adopted "Nelly" from NBRAN in Feb 2004 and re-named her Abby, a name we stole from Ted our fellow NBRAN adopter at the time who had named his dog Abby. 

This is a tribute to our Buddy Boy that we lost two weeks ago. Buddy was a rescue dog that we adopted five years ago today.
