Once Upon A Time on Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

Once upon a time, there were four very special dogs. They lived and loved their best lives with pawrents who loved and cared for them the best they knew how. As we know all too well, pets never stay with us long enough. These pups did their best to make sure their humans learned very special life lessons during their earthly stays. 

Today, these four pups are going to share what they taught their humans during their all too short lives.

Hi, I am Jakey, and I got to spend 14 of my 17 years with my human pawrents.  I taught my pawrents that dogs are patient, kind and loving no matter what they may have gone through before coming to them. 

I also taught them that some pups like to tear all their toys(and their siblings toys) to shreds. The favorite thing I hope they learned from me, especially to my Daddy, was that Jakey kisses can soothe even the baddest of days. 

Hi, I'm Arty and I hope I taught my pawrents to always take your dog with you. I was my Mama's most reliable travel companion. She knew I would always have a good time, no matter where we went. I also taught my pawrents to never be afraid...of anything!  Most importantly my Mama learned there are different kinds of heart dogs, and I was lucky to be one of hers. Unfortunately, I had to leave them unexpectedly, teaching them to always live each day to the fullest with your furry friends because you never know when the Rainbow Bridge will be calling.

I'm Bilbo and I taught my pawrents well....EVERYTHING.  I was their first pup and I taught them everything from how loving a puppy can be,  to how some dogs are very special and need lots of special attention(Mama says I was preparing them for Sunny BOL). They learned to always have a routine for your pet! I always made sure they were on time with all aspects of my routine AND their routine too! From dinner to treat time and even making sure everybody went to bed on time! They were very lucky to have a pup like me for their very first dog!

Hi, I'm Dory...the original author of this blog. I taught my pawrents the unconditional love a dog can give. I was Mama's bestest friend and Daddy's best girl. Arty may say he's Mama's favorite travel buddy, but I was her first travel buddy.  Where ever I went, I never met a stranger! I introduced Mama to the blog world and am one of the main reasons she has met so many great friends through the years. I could go on and on about all the things I taught the pawrents, but the most important thing I taught them is what it means to have a "pure heart dog".

Do you think the pawrents know how much they were loved Dory??

Oh yes Arty and I can tell by the tears Mama still leaks how much she and Daddy loved us too.

All of us, along with the pawrents, are so lucky to have found each other.

ABOUT RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY:
Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day was founded in 2015 by Deborah Barnes, award-winning author and blogger of Zee & Zoey’s Cat Chronicles, in tribute to her Ragdoll cat, Mr. Jazz, whom she had to say goodbyes to on August 28, 2013. She shared the journey of letting him go in her critically acclaimed book, Purr Prints of – A Cat’s Tale of Life, Death, and Beyond, and decided to create the day in his honor as a way for others across the world to share memories of their pets they had loved and lost.
