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 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
have 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.
His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he begins
to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying 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 pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow
Bridge together...

Our Beloved
Beh-Jeh
1992 - 2008
Beh-Jeh came with my husband as a
package deal. He was a year old when Danny and I met and was
completely unsocialized, still intact and had no obedience
training It was over a year before I could trust him off
leash!! His socialization came quickly, he loved all other dogs
and dogs who didn’t like him didn’t matter in his world. He was
kind and gentle and always an attraction where ever we went. He
was a stunning dog with deep red markings against the whitest
white you have ever seen. His coat was always clean…or was soon
after a muddy walk!
Beh-Jeh was a malamute wolf
cross, but not at all like any of the hybrid dogs I have met.
He was gentle and slow with kids, kind with other dogs, not
food aggressive….just one of the best dogs I have ever had the
pleasure of sharing my life with.
We were very lucky to have in our
lives, he raised Caemon, Kenya and Cairo from puppies, and got
to take part in the raising of Kenya and Star’s litters.
Whenever the puppies came back for visits it seemed they all
took a special moment to great Uncle Beh-Jeh.
He hated being left at home when
I was showing Caemon, so Beh-Jeh would pack all of our show gear
in and out of the buildings for me, hooked up to whatever I
could rig up as a cart. Sometimes even just dragging the kennel
on the ground behind him. He loved to work, loved to run and
loved to chase and catch gophers…..boy did he ever. He could
wait forever for a gopher to come out of the woodpile.
Behj, as we called him stayed fit
for a long time, starting to slow down at about 10 yrs old,
until then he always accompanied us on our 2 hour jaunts to Nose
Hill park. He lived most of his life with spondylosis, but
never really let it bother him, too be honest, except for a trip
to the vet because of an attack on a porcupine, he never went to
the vet. He was healthy to the end, it was his joints that gave
up.
We will never have another dog
like him again in our lives, and I have so many great memories
of him, not enough space on this page for all of them. He will
forever live in our hearts and minds as truly one of the
greatest.
Thank-you for everything Behj,
till we meet again.
