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 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....

In Memory of Gabe Lueck
December 4, 1999 - January 13, 2016
Gabe was a difficult dog. He was a terrible walker who hated joggers, people with disabilities, people of color and any dog bigger than him, especially German Shepherds. He could open every door in the house, including the front screen door, much to the chagrin of the UPS driver. He was a counter surfer, garbage raider and food thief. He couldn't be trusted and didn't earn full run of the house until he was 16.
Gabe was also a great dog. He was a hero and self-taught Diabetes Alert Dog and saved my mom on several occasions. He was absolutely wonderful with Casey when she was a puppy. He was only "naughty" because he was a brilliant problem solver. He gave the best hugs in the world. He was my first trick dog. If I had known how to teach tricks better, we could have rocked the dog trick world! And most importantly, he was mine and I loved him.
I learned so much from our Gabester. He made me a better owner and a better dog trainer and for that I'll always be grateful to him. I love you and miss you, Gabe! -Jennifer

In Memory of Charlie Rode
January 7, 2004 – April 17, 2014
Charlie will always be remembered in the Hiking Club for his elaborate Halloween costumes (Scarecrow, Thing One, Minnesota Viking, Nemo and One Eyed Charlie the Pirate); for being a match set with his sister ChaCha; and, well, for barking. A lot. He had a lot of spunk and personality and wanted the whole world to know about it.
I will always be grateful to Charlie for being the first friend my Casey ever made in the Hiking Club, which was a real achievement because of her reactivity to dogs. He was extremely patient with her and never barked back at her or took offense to her behavior. Because of Charlie and Casey’s friendship, his mom Kathy and I became very close friends.
Charlie was a great friend and a real trooper right up to the end. He will be greatly missed.
Look out, God! Heaven just got a lot louder!!! -Jennifer
In Loving Memory of Snoopy
Snoopy Minehart
July 2007 to February 16, 2011
Snoopy's life changed from uncertain to awesome as soon as he went home with Melinda in 2008. There was a very special love between them. You could feel their happiness when you were with them. Snoopy brought us all tons of laughter and joy. He was the star of the Loving Paws play groups and Hiking Club. He loved going in the dog door during play groups to visit anyone in the house. We laughed so hard the first time he did it. What a smart dog. Everybody that knew him, loved him. There wasn't a dog that didn't like him. Snoopy will be deeply missed and loved by all forever.
