Oh, guys, I'm getting tears reading about all the love of our precious Rainbow Bridge babies! They really do hold a special place in our hearts that can never be replaced.

Pam, awwww!! You had an eskie in your childhood too? They're such great, happy looking dogs!! Misty was a very bouncy girl. I loved how it always looked like she was laughing. Gotta love that eskie trait! Your poodles are so precious. I'm so happy you shared them with us! At first glance, I thought Pumpkin was a puppy! What a cute little guy he is! I like the white, grey, and black combo...and all different sizes! No doubt you loved them very much
I forgot to tell you about this, but while I was on my little birthday wine tour a couple of weekends ago, we went to this one winery (Ebberly) and they had 2 standard black poodles. It was the first time I saw one in person! Such sweet dogs they were! There was a male and a female. Of course I had to give in to those big brown eyes when they were begging for some treats. The male dog ever so gently took the piece of bread I offered from my hand. I was impressed at his manners! LOL LOL I thought of you and Bella I can see why your smitten with poodles. I was so impressed by these to at Ebberly. And no doggie odor! That's news to me! LOL LOL
Aly **hugs** such sweet sweet pics and memories! No doubt your RB babies made you the angel you are today I love the pic of you and Lisa! How cute! I remember very first 'official' pet too. Mine was a teddy bear hamster named Dynamite!
I'm positive that Dessi holds that special place in your heart as your first dog, like Misty does in mine. It sounds like she was growing up with you in that same part of your life as Misty was in mine. What a good natured dog. **hugs** I know you must miss her a lot.
Sara, yup! Scanners! I actually got the idea for this thread because I had seen some really nice memories of RB babies posted recently and thought we could put them all here. I also have a pic of my RB dog Misty on my desk here and work and decided to just scan it and finally upload it for everyone to see I'd love to hear about your RB babies
Anna, your Keisha is a cute huggable looking dog! Your webpage about her was great, and what a nice way to remember her
LabLover, it sounds like your Teal had a nice long life before her journey over to the Rainbow Bridge. **hugs**
Zippy **hugs** I couldn't help but think of your precious Tom. Maybe we could find your previous thread (just a pic) about him and post it here??
Heather, so sorry about your cutie patootie New York! Those little hammies just win over your heart with their little beady eyes and cute little faces. I miss my hammies too. **hugs**
C&K, I know I've said this before, but I just wanted to say again how handsome your Nappe is. Thanks for posting your thread about him again here
Tigeress, you're so right about how hard it is to lose a beloved pet. That has got to be the only bad thing about having a pet. But, the rewards are far greater, and the memories will always be cherished. I really believe that our pets makes us all better people, and their lives enrich our so much that I can't fathom a life without pets. Thanks for posting the link about your DeeDee. I can't believe how sick people can be. Leaving her in a Plastic bag??!! Poor, dear DeeDee. **hugs** my heart aches for babies like her who didn't deserve such a hard road. At least she spent her last moments with kindness and love. No doubt she's looking down on your and smiling. I also noticed that you have a purdue.edu email address!! A fellow Boiler!!! I miss Purdue!

Finally, here is a picture of Jessee, our own beloved purrley's rainbow bridge kitty. Isn't she beautiful??

**hugs** to all RB babies everywhere and the people who love them
