Arrival Story: My aunt had some puppies and no one wanted this little pure black one. I was going to school at the time and my aunt wouldn't even give me a break on the price. So I paid $150.00 for Bobbie and brought him home on christmas eve 1989. It was the best 150.00 I ever spent!
Bio: Bobbie is now a resident of Rainbow Bridge. Please visit him at:http://rainbowsbridge.com/resid ents/BOBBI003/Resident.htm
He also has a web site under construction at:

1989 was a very difficult year for me. My father had passed
away in February and I was trying to finish school. I couldn't keep Bobbie where I was living so my Mom took him in for me. I went to see him every day and bought his food. in June of /89 I moved to Ashern and six weeks later I went to get Bobby. We could finally live together! Wherever I went, Bobby went to. He made some good friends, including Bear, my friends, Claudia's dog. Went it was time for walks, Bobbie would get so excited, pulling at the leash while I was trying to put it on him. He just wanted to go.
Bobbie passed away in my arms on the afternoon of August 9, 1992. He got out on me and I called him to come back. Bobbie looked back at me, wagged his tail and took off towards highway #6. In the Back of my mind I was screaming, run baby run, there was a car coming. It happend so fast, yet I can still see it in slow motion. It looked like the car missed him, he was under it. But he was lying there on the highway. I ran to him. There was just soo much blood. I remember screaming. Bob Hare, who hit him had pulled over and had a blanket with him. Bob helped me bring Bobbie to the vets, which was 1/2 mile away. Just before entering the yeard, Bobbie started shaking real hard and then nothing. He was gone. Bob Hare wanted me to leave Bobbie in the yard there, but I refused, I wanted to take him back home!!!! There was NO vet there either, there would have been no help for Bobbie.
I buried Bobbie in a raised white squared flower container, very close to where he had been struck. The people who bought the property later on promised me they will never take it down or disturb it.
This is the first time I have ever told anyone my story of my beloved Bobbie. T hank You from the bottom of my heart. Please see Bobbie's diary for a beautiful memorial someone gave to me shortly after Bobbie went

Lend Me a Pup: I will lend to you for a while a puppy, God said, For you to love him while he lives and to mourn for him when he is gone. Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe for two or three but will you, till I call him back take care of him for me? He will bring his charms to gladden you and (should his stay be brief) you will always have his memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise that he will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn. I have looked the whole world over in search of teachers true and from the folk that crowd life's land I have chosen you. Now will you give him all your love nor think the labor vain nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again. I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done," For all the joys this pup will bring, the risk of grief you will run. Will you shelter him with tenderness Will you love him while you may And for the happiness you will know forever grateful stay. But should I call him back much sooner than you have planned Please brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand. If, by your love, you have managed my wishes to achieve, In memory of him that you have loved, cherish every moment with your faithful bundle, and know he loved you too. -Author Unknown
The Bridge: For the pups beyond the Rainbow Bridge, We bow our heads, we shed some tears, We know that nothing can take the place Of the furry pals we loved so dear. And even as the years go by, A remembered nudge, a lick, a sigh An old photograph will bring them back, And tears will fall from many an eye. We thank the good Lord up above, For your doggy smile and unconditional love The way you felt within our arms, Your bark, your whine, your many charms. We thank Him for your listening ear The warmth of your body when you pressed it near. Is it so surprising really, that you are called DOG. You're a pretty good reflection of the love of our GOD. For the pups beyond the Rainbow Bridge, A voice is heard at bridge's end. "Well done, true and faithful friend." Your job and journey is completed on earth. Play in the flowerfields, bask in the sun... Chase with your pals and have great fun. But keep your ears cocked while you're chewing that bone You'll hear familiar footsteps---your human's come home
It's been awhile since adding to my diary. Rainbow Bridge is a great home, with many, many wonderful furiends. A lovely girlfuriend, too!
On November 17, 2008, Momma's baby, Buddy, came over to the Bridge.
The messanger Angels came flying to me in the late morning to alert me to go to the Main Gate...I have never been summon like this before. But should have known something big was up when I spied an incredibly beautiful Angel.
It was exactly flesh, more like crystal, with prisms of magnificant color radiating from deep within...never had a seen an Angel like this before...and the wing spand must have been at least 10 feet, beautiful white wings.
There were other Angels with this one...too many to count...but was told I was needed at the Main Entrance, so I hurried off.
When I arrived, and God saw me, there were tears in his eyes. He told me He Himself had sent for me, for today Momma's Buddy was due to come home to us.
I was given very important instructions...Buddy was fighting to stay and when he did arrive, he would be confused and very upset....God told me that He would look after Buddy upon arrival, but I was needed here at the same time so Buddy would know that someone who loves Momma very much is near and we are family.
When Buddy did arrive, with the magnificant Angel carrying him and placing Buddy with God, God did what He does best...He showed kindness, tenderness, compassion and great love to Buddy...
Buddy stayed with God that evening, and I did, too. Buddy was told everything, and how to visit with his family...which he went and did right away, Buddy wasn't ready to go, but knew from Momma's tears at vet's office he had to and that it was ok to go.
Momma misses Buddy lots and still cries, even though it has now been three months.
Buddy has met his own personal Angel here. We have also sent a picture to Momma showing her our home, and there is a lilac tree in the front yard for Honey and me, and Buddy can join in anytime he likes.
Buddy needed a house, as he was never allowed outside...but he knows he can do whatever he likes up here...he just loves waiting for the mail that Momma sends to him. He has five letters now, a poem that Friday made up, called Rainbow Bridge Phone Number, and a Christmas story that Momma wrote for Buddy on Christmas Eve...he has saved everyone of them in his special golden book he received soon after arriving.
We hang out alot...Buddy may have b een between 17 and 19 when he passed but now he sure likes like he's around three years old...Man, can Buddy ever move.
I am happy that Buddy is here with me, but know that Momma isn't. We won't be going anywhere else until it's time for Momma to come and collect all of us and take us with her to her forever home with God, too!
In time the pain and hurt will go away, but the memories will always be there with Momma and with us. We lov e to go and visit.
Buddy and I have worked on a few special assignments together...he's a fast learner!
Got to go for now..lunch date with my Honey. Meeting up with Bear Dog and Tiffy.
Never know, maybe Buddy will get a girlfriend here too!
Your anniversary to Rainbow Bridge is coming up in a couple of days. This Thursday, August the 9th it will be fifteen years since you were tragically taken from me.
I will never forget that day for as long as I live.
I still think of what would have it all been like. How long was your appointed time really? Would you still have been here with me, old and yet loving?
I will never forget nor forgive Bob Hare for murdering you on pupose. I was there, I saw how he swerved to hit you on purpose. He wasn't finished in his own hellish pain, though, was he. Bob Hare went on to drag two of his dogs to town, chained to the back of his truck.
I will forever remember a day in October, two months after you were taken, when I heard the news at school, how Bob Hare murdered a man from Ashern in cold blood and then took his own life.
I don't believe the good Lord would have allowed him anywhere near you on the Bridge, for you would surely have been upset with him.
Bobbie, I still miss you so very much and love you still so very deeply. I have never been able to let you go, you are and will always forever be a part of me.
I hope your anniversary will be special up at the Bridge. You have so many furiends and even a very beautiful girlfriend, Honey. She was sure worth the waite, wasn't she Bobbie?
I love you my special baby. I just want to hold onto you one more time, and never let you go. There are times I feel so responsible. Please forgive Mama for opening that door at the particular time.
I bought a rose bush and planted in it memory of you. It was a tearose bush, deep lovely red. Funny thing, the blooms came out white. White roses I used for my Mom and Dad's funerals. So I think I should take this as a sign from you, Bobbie that all is well...for white is for purity.
I smile at times and cry at times and also am very quiet at times when I think of you. No one knows the pain and love I still carry hidden deep in my heart for you. I really don't think anyone would grasp it, maybe only say, "come on lady after fifteen years give it a rest."
And that is what I have always wished for you my Beloved Bobbie, sweet rest...Momma will be along in time....untill then, run and jump with your friends, nap with your sweetie...but please remember me Bobbie as I remember you today and for always.
Friday evening I went to Hammock Talk. I went there once before, a little while back. I am a shy boy and still getting to know and meet furiends here at the Bridge. I have been here in earth time for almost 15 years, but time doesn't mean anything at the Bridge for us.
I have made many new furiends and its wonderful. Bear Dog was my first doggie furiend and his girlfuriend, Tiffy is now my "big sister" and is doing a wonderful job. i have an Auntie Kassie, who is a wonderful black kitty.
But the most wonderful thing happend while at Hammock Talk. I had met the most gracious, true lady and her name is Honey. We became furiends and hung out while her pawrents were away on vaction. Then I did my thing, roaming with the lambs, helping the incoming pets to the Bridge and spending time at the big mansion on the street paved in gold. But I started having this nagging feeling...like something was just not the same, not right.
Well, last night at Hammock Talk I asked Honey if she would be my girl and she said YES!!! Wow, I am still in shock and wonder!!! And you know something? That nagging feeling is gone, replaced with happiness and joy!!
I have never had a girlfuriend before and have waited so many years for one. The good Lord sent me the best, my Honey. I am truly blessed to have Honey with me.
For so many years I have watched kitties and pups link up with their soul mates, happy for all of them, but confused and wondered why not me. I have been happy, but lonely at times. Now I know why I had to waite so long...Honeys family needed her all that time, and she needed them too. But God called her home and now we can be together and won't be so lonely for we have each other and can watch our families together.
I am truly blessed indeed!! I thank the good Lord for Honey.
