Cheyenne – August 2010
Cheyenne, who was loved by Norm and Gail Bleakley, was helped over the bridge today. She had a wonderful last year of life after being given up by her owners when she was 10. 5 years old.
At her initial vet appt she was not making red blood cells and the vet said she had only a couple of weeks to live, but she defied the odds and spent her last year travelin to the beach, taking long walks with her foster dad and loving her foster mom.
Thank you all for your financial donations that allow us to provide care for our foster dogs and for our foster families who provide the love.
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 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….

The fact that she lived a year after predicting she wouldn’t live much longer is true testament to much love and tender loving care by you two. You are generous beyond words. She was a sweet girl.
There is comfort knowing this little angel, Cheyenne, watches over you now as she smiles, runs and plays thinking of her people who were kind to her:)
Thanks for giving her such a love-filled, joyful year. We’ll all remember her with you. Such a marvelous dog!
Thank you Norm and Gail for making Cheyenne’s last year a great one! You are truly special people! Thinking about you during this sad time.
I miss you Cheyenne, love always – mom
