Beloved Dupers 1998-2008

Dupers unexpectedly passed away on Monday, January 7, 2008. His spleen ruptured in the middle of the night, we found him the morning breathing strange. We rushed him to the vet and he passed away at the vet while we waited to see if he could handle emergency surgery. He was the most intelligent dog and super kind, gentle and sincere; yet an excellent watch dog and very protective when he needed to be. He even ran away from home once when he lived in Hollywood and found his way home days later… yes VERY intelligent.

“There’s a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge is a verdant land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet passes, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. Old and ill and frail animals are made whole. They play all day with each other in the beautiful sunshine.

They are happy and content, but there is one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth. So, each day, they run and play until the day comes when suddenly, one stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group!

You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her into your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated….”
