IN LOVING
MEMORY
~~Rainbow
Bridge~~
CLICK HERE FOR THE
MOVIE
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 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, someone who was 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group,
flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so
long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the
Rainbow Bridge together...

A RESCUED DOG'S CHRISTMAS
POEM
We wish to thank Richard, owner of
Salty Dogs Boarding, Day Care and Training in SLC and wish him our heart felt
love as he passed onto Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for always being there
for the homeless dogs.
Denise wishes to let
everyone know of a very special Angel of a woman and the most amazing and caring
rescuer, Mickey Britton, the founder of 14 year old Utah Companion Golden
Retriever Rescue. She was Denise's mentor when she created Save A Dog &
KIds and guided her in this difficult work. 4,600 Golden Retrievers and
Labrador Retrievers were saved from being put down in shelters after their
owners abandonned them thanks to Mickey and her Husband Bill. When Mickey
brought a new Golden Retriever home from the shelter she would brush out all
their knots, make sure they were loved and felt safe in her home, and she would
get the donated blankets and treats to give to her new foster child.
She and her husband Bill helped disabled kids and people get service dogs, they
showed other rescues how 2 retired people could do so much for the dogs and the
world. She was not only the mentor for our founder, but she was a mom to
her and supported her when Denise did not think she could do this hard work of
rescue. Denise will truelly miss Mickey and the world will not be the same
without her.
Thank you to Reflections Services for pets for always lovingly, affordably and
artisticly making the little velvet pouch, etched and lazered cedar box and paw
prints of our angels that passed on.

Our
Beloved Mariah
 03/22/10
Ranae adopted her in 2004 and just told us that she had passed away
about a year ago at 8 yrs old. We are so sad, and missed her so much for
4 yrs after her adoption, and have never stopped thinking of her.
She was the biggest lover and teddy bear. She had learned to sit, shake,
lay down and roll over with me so fast. She went everywhere with me in
the SAve a Dog & Kids Mobile. It was the hardest thing to adopt
her out, but I thought I had found the most loving, experienced with
Huskies mom I could find and wanted Mariah to have a chance to pull
sleds, be pampered and loved. I will love you forever Mariah and
hope to see you in heaven someday.

CHEWEY

nursing home, and he was so
well cared for from grooming
regularly, health check ups,
boarding at same clinic for
10 yrs. He was the most
adorable Apricot Poodle of 7
lbs. purebred, well groomed,
could not stay with adoptive
homes as he must have missed
his owner of 10 yrs and
would just not stop to bite
people he did not know, and
was returned with a bad
urinary infection and was 11
yrs old when he passed. We
will miss you Chewy.

just rescued through our Little Dog Angel
Network in LA CA shelter. Thanks to
Jeanine of Bichons and Buddies, Naomi and
Richard Our OC volunteers that picked him up
from clinic in Venice Beach and drove him
down to San Diego to our foster mom Deb who
also rescues little dogs. Thanks to all.
From his foster mom: "Mr..
Binky is absolutely cute as a bug! He is
actually even cuter than I thought he might
be...he isn't skinny so don't worry about
that, but he does have a cough and a sneeze.
He ate some chicken last evening and slept
very well...He also walked around with
trouble but seems OK. I am a bit
worried about his health -- he DOES seem
fragile"
Thank you to all our rescue friends: Jeanine
of Bichons and Buddies in LA for pulling him
and boarding him for us, Naomi and husband
for picking him up, Ariel for driving him
down to our Foster in San Diego, and Deborah
for taking care of him for a week plus till
our new driver Karen, Retired SDPD, who
reallly was great to pick him, his paperwork
and driving him to OC, and our friend
CHarisse, who's Pom we love to babysit, that
brought him here for us. HE gives
kisses and is so trusting, and happy
considering his back legs wont' hold him up.
WE ARE ASKING ALL POM LOVERS TO PLEASE HELP
US RAISE THE FUNDS TO HAVE BOTH PATELLAS
OPERATED ON SO HE CAN STAND UP WITHOUT
FALLING AND LIVE. OUT HIS LIFE THE WAY HE
DESERVES. "Thank you I have fallen again and
I can’t get back up." I am so appreciative
and loving and give kisses when you pick me
up. WIth GLucosamine and Flax Seed oil, I am
walking better and so much better now.
"He's adorable but I have way too many
animals of my own and it would be
irresponsible to take on anymore but I try
to do what I can to help those in need.
Years ago, I found a little dog in the
pouring rain who couldn't move. I went
to the door of the house to tell them about
their puppy and they didn't make a move to
help him and shut the door. I stood
there for a minute and then scooped him up
and took him to the vet. It wasn't
good news and I opted to have the little
sweetie euthanized. I have always
regretted that...........didn't know about
the carts then and I thought his life would
be too hard. So, I thought in some
way, this could honor that little boy."
Binky's Cart is on its way, thank you Lori.
Thanks Jane
for offering to take him in with your senior
little Poms. You have always been the SEnior
Poms' friend.
 
We were so sorry that Binky's legs just
could not hold him up at all anymore and
when he could no longer use the cart or get
up, we had to say goodbye. Thank you Dr.
Taylor for always helping us let them up to
Heaven in a such a nice loving way. We
will miss you little Angel Binky.
Thanks Pet Reflections for always doing such
a beautiful job on their memory box, paw
prints and engravings for a discount. |
 
 BJ,
a Pommeranian mix, was found running the
streets, after a week in the Utah County Animal
Shelter, he was picked up by Denise, xrayed his
right shoulder that he was limping on and xrays
showed that the crushed shoulder had atrophied
and could not be repaired. He limps but is
as happy, loving and friendly as can be. He runs
and jumps as if his leg was fine and gets so
excited to see you. He
loves every person he meets and curls up against
them. He also talks. He just had his
second dental and had a growth removed. Total
vet bills so far $500 and now he has a new
growth on his hind leg that needs to be removed,
but he is still lively, friendly and happy. His
cancer has travelled throughout his body and he is on antibiotics and
pain relief and we love him dearly. We will miss our little angel
that greeted everyone that came into our home. |
8 years since Phyllis adopted a little 3 yr old
Teacup Poodle: "Our Amazing Grace, aka Gracie, has left us in tears...she
passed away in Roger's arms on the 28th of June from what appeared to be a
heart attack....she had been sick so was in a weakened state and just
couldn't bounce back....we miss her TERRIBLY, she was such a GREAT dog! We
hope to be able to adopt another like her in the near future....keep us in
mind, Denise!
here is a recent picture of our "little
sweetheart"....we miss her SO much! Please keep us in mind if you get
another little sweetie like Gracie. We like poodles as they are SO smart, as
you know, and great for me with allergies...hope to talk to you soon!"

| After 2.5 weeks of EKGs, XRays, Heart MEds,
Transfer Factor Plus, feeding him anything he would eat, our poor little 12
yr. old Mickey at 4 lbs., with an enlarged heart in a rib cage too small for
it because of bad breeding, finally gave up his fight for life in my arms.
I cried a lot and will miss this sweet little angelic spirit so much, but
know he is at peace and loved in Heaven. 08/15/06
 *MICKEY
4.1
lb. 12 yr. Purebred M. Maltese little angel, pad
trained, loving, vetted total including dental
to remove rotten teeth, EKG, xrays that show his
ribs are too small for his enlarged heart that
he takes medication for the rest of his life,
but he is so adorable this
little guy and has the most gorgeous long silky
hair, groomed regularly ($1,200 in bills and no donations
but I would have given anything to save this
little guy. )

Our Dear Little Puff Puff just
passed away in May 2006 and we will miss him so. He was deaf, from
Pasadena Shelter in CA, flown to us after spending 3 weeks there with no one
wanting him, by 3 volunteer pilots with their own planes thanks to
Flyingpaws.org, thanks Marilyn and pilots, Bark Ave. in LA and volunteers
that drove him for us. They thought he was around 14 yrs old and lived
to 15. He loved to see Denise and smiled and pounced with his front
paws like a happy puppy when he saw her look at him. We will miss him so.
What an angel. Thanks Danielle at Koefran Services for donating the cute paw
prints and engraving:

Our
beloved little Puff Puff passed away this week
and we are so saddened. He had the most meek and
loving little spirit that just looked up at you
with trust and playfulness. We will miss you
very much, but know you are in Heaven.
 
PUFF
(?8
to 14 yrs) little fragile/DEAF
7 lb. Pomeranian male was sitting in the
Pasadena Shelter for 3 weeks with no one wanting
him. He is so adorable and loves to brush up
against you and sit in your lap. He is the most
beautiful Pom we have ever seen. He is a real
Angel. With the help of an amazing team of
volunteers: LA Volunteer Driver Glenn, Jane in
Idaho payed his boarding at
Bark Ave
Foundation in LA, Ashley LA rescuer dr0ve
him to the Van Nuys Airport,
  Marilyn
with her
"Flying Paws" 3 volunteer pilots Bruce, Mike
and Terry fostering in Phoenix, Mike flying him
to Page, and Gary flying him into Heber City, he
was saved along with Bonnie from VEntura Cty,
CA, and is looking for the most wonderful
loving adult only home with a retired person
that will pamper him, keep him safe at all times
and take care of all his needs.

computer. Come see more pics by clicking pic
above!!!!
PILOTS
NEEDED: FLYING PAWS
coordinates volunteer pilots to help special
needs and senior dogs in danger to get to
rescues nationwide. Puff
Puff the StayPuff Mini Marshmellow man is just
precious and not 14, who decided that? His teeth
are not tartar covered at all, his front teeth
not worn down, and his eyes not at all cloudy
which would put him around 5 to 8 only. He is
healthy, does have the Pommi Trachial cough all
Poms have, but not too often . He is just
precious. He does well with a harness, loves to
sleep in his doggie bed, sit on your chair with
you, and is pretty housetrained. What a little
sweetheart. He is very playful and expressive.
We adopted a dachshund from
Denise in 2000 after our Barney passed away.
Cheddar or as Denise called him (Chowder) has now passed away due to his
age. We really miss him alot. We have a little female named Penny who has
since became very lonely for a friend. We would like to adopt an
older(5+years) Male Dacshaund for her. We are NOT into the breeding. We are
in it for the love and companionship they bring us. We can be reached at
435-896-4371. We have a really nice fenced in back yard to keep the little
ones in and the big ones out. We believe that a pet in our family is our
child and well taken care of. If you could Please put us on a list for an
Older Male dacshaund we would deeply appreciate it because he would get the
unconditional love that he would need. Thank You David, Trish & Penny (Our
Little Bundle of Joy).
 
Minnie,
13 yr old Toy Poodle mom of Sammy was picked up by Denise in May of 2004
from Atlanta after her owner
had died. She had been on so many medications, on a hypoallergenic diet,
and sadly died in the night December 15th in Denise's arms. We will miss
her. Sammy is doing great and found a loving mom that just loves Poodles.
*LITTLE MAN
9 year PUrebred REd Miniature Pekingese N.M. has had to have 3 surgeries
trying to save his little front leg that had been broken and never cared for by
his previous owners. His little rear dew claws and pads had to be removed
surgically because his owners never clipped his nails and they had grown
completely into the pads. He was limping all over the place. Thanks
to help from HEEAB and Susie along with our funds, we were able to provide the
$850 worth of surgeries he needed to try to repair his shattered leg. He
has to be carried outside and loves his little room with soft pillows. He
sleeps with Denise on her bed, and loves her dearly after 2 years of
rehabilitation. He is the sweetest most loving Pekingese, gentle with all
humans but prefers not to be with other dogs because he fears being knocked
over. He has the most beautiful coat. Thank you Jeff in California
for helping LIttle man get his needed surgery to remove his leg, we could not
have done the $600 surgery without you. Thank you Dr. Law at Cottonwood Animal
Hospital for giving us a $400 discount and doing such a great job.
Littleman gets along great on his 3 legs.
| In Memory
of our precious Littleman June 11, 2003. You had such a heart our
little friend. He will be so loved over Rainbow Bridge but so missed
here. Why did such a loving innocent little life have to suffer
so much the first part of his life because of the negligence of
humans? |
Denise
I'm writing to let you know that
Pokey (Pocahontas) died of old age April 1st. She was a shar-pei
and just the cutest girl you've ever seen. We adopted her in
March of 2000 and instantly fell in love with her. She was THE
BEST companion and we were very lucky to have her as a part of
our family. Her "Pokey Kisses" and even her snoring is very much
missed. We can't thank you enough for the endless efforts you
have made to save these wonderful animals and allowing
them to enrich our daily lives.
Blue Skies,
Jack and Debbie

sudden medical condition and passed onto Rainbow Bridge.
*NIKKI a 6
yr. S.F. Yorki/Shih Tzu tiny little girl has almost died from attacking 2 large
dogs, and 3 hernias. She attacks every dog she meets and must be protected
from them. She doesn't like kids. Otherwise she loves to be carried
once you earn her trust and loves to sleep by your pillow. Still working on
house training and her medical bills to date are $600. In Memory of our Beloved Nou Nou, we
will miss you, our precious little girl.
 
 
MAX 6 yr. N.M. Wirehaired little Maltese
mix. Loves to be with a retired man. Ok with grandkids. Obedience
class included is mandatory.
He passed onto
Rainbow Bridge last week at the Vet's office, and we will miss him very much. He had been
suffering with kidney and hip problems for a long time with his owner who
returned him to us, and yet was so loving. We don't know how old he
was, but he was very old when we rescued him out of the shelter.

5 yr. N.M. Poodle/Maltese little sweetheart is a bundle of love.
Housetrained and loves to walk on leash. Great for mature adults who are
retired and want a great companion.
MOKI:
She rests peacefully and is flying through the air in heaven.
My
little Flying Excited Angel Moki passed on after 4 yrs in a cage of a
puppymill in missourri and then had 1.5 yrs of joy, love, playing with
Jazz, Pekingese Wrestling, running and flying through the air, and
loving to give me kisses. then due to her harsh puppymill neglect, no
more needing Phenobarbitol and no more seizures, but her kidneys failed.
I will miss her zest for live attitude. Jazz misses her too. Moki
reminded me of Little man who trusted me so because they knew how much I
loved them.
