| NESTLE Dec.1993-Mar.2007 He had no titles, he came with a couple of ribbons, but most of all, he came to me with a huge heart. I had gone, one day, to Jena Zafirotos' house to look at her current litter of puppies, with the intention of picking one out.While I was there, she let in this big, liver, five year old dalmatian dog, she had taken back from his previous owner. The lady was annoyed that all he wanted to do was "follow" her around the house, so she gave him back to Jena. He immediately came over to me and nuzzled into my lap. He looked at me with his big, sad eyes and it was love at first sight for both of us. I asked Jena if I could take him instead of picking a puppy. Well....he came home with me that day to stay. He was my "Gentle Giant" who just wanted to be loved and I did with all my heart. There is a big hole in it now big guy. I so miss tripping over you, Nestle. I miss my brown buddy |

| Right, Nestle, Ely & Bailey, waiting for Dru to say, "Okay", so they can eat. Ely wasn't very good at it yet! |
| 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 and 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 hurting or maimed are made whole and strong again. Just as we remembered them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing....they 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. The bright eyes are intent, the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass. His legs carry 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 beloved pet, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then...you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown. In memory of Nestle, Pogo, Shasta, Sheba and CJ. |
