To realize the value of a friend-----------------

----------------all you have to do is lose one... 

  Sundance Farm                    

We have a terrible sadness here at the farm. We had to put our beloved Big Brown Dog to sleep this morning. He could not walk anymore and had major spinal degeneration and arthritis that stopped responding to any medication. We are heartbroken.

    R.I.P. Big Brown

We will meet at the bridge Jake Ryan.. R.I.P.

JRFC update: My friends, we have lost the battle. Although he nearly took my hand off this morning for a treat, by 2 pm, Jake Ryan was feeling nauseous and was very weak and pale. He wasn't to the point of passing out but, when he wouldn't even take a cheese ball, I knew it was time. He stayed in the car on his bed while he drifted off to sleep. It was peaceful, we were parked under a tree, and it couldn't have been a more smooth transition to the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you all for following us on this 24 day journey. Rest peacefully, Jake Ryan, and play with the others that have gone before you.

                                     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 animal 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....
