THE 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. Her bright eyes are intent; her eager body quivers.
Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her 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....

I moved into Potbelly
Manor during the summer of 2006 after my owners no longer wanted me. I was sad but changed my mind when I
saw my new digs! A HUGE house that I shared with my pal Newman. Could have done without making the acquaintence of
"veterinarians" as the humans referred to them but I got over that quickly and settled down to enjoy my
new life of leisure. Meals twice a day with occasional treats of rolls (bread was one of my favorite things to eat-don't
ask...). I spent many days lounging in the back yard, sleeping in my gigantic house and brought joy to
Audrey, Liz and many volunteers.

Quonset
came to Potbelly Manor in 1998. She was abandoned at Quonset Air Force Base with her babies until being caught by
caring individuals and taken to Potbelly Manor where she and her family received royal treatment. We are honored
to have shared 12 years of this little princess's life. Everyone will miss her greatly.
