Welcome to Arrow's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Arrow

Arrow came to us as a tiny pup just after the loss of our beloved Brittany, Woodstock in 1996. He needed "rescuing", as no one wanted him because he was small, not big and strong like his littermates. In reality, it was really Arrow who did the rescuing. The first time I saw him I knew he was "ours", and he knew it too, and showered me with kisses, just like he did every day of his short life. By the time he was 2 he began having seizures, and over the past 5 yrs more and more meds were needed to help him. Finally, his life no longer fun, he slept away most of his days. But when awake, he was always brave, cheerful, funny, quirky, and above all, so very sweet and loving. This is how he was the very last morning of his life, before one last bout of seizures. He went to sleep, and awoke at the Bridge. Whenever I hear "Over the Rainbow", I know that's where he is. His "brother and sister", Skye and Moon, miss him so much. Arrow had funny-shaped front arms, he could reach out sideways just like a person, and would HUG us around the neck. Run free, little brave dog, nothing can hurt you ever again. I just know I'll see you again. *************** June 12,2003. Hi, sweetie, just changed your flowers. I can hardly believe it will soon be a yr since you left us. We all miss you so much, still. Your picture looks down at me now from the top of the computer. Your sweet little spirit seems to visit me often. I think of you a lot. You were the bravest of the brave, you were a noble little dog. Listen, you know this by now, but your "cousin" Zackie just came to the bridge 2 days ago. Can you look for him? He'll be missing Ed and June a lot and will need a friend. He's a big old wonderful black lab. You'll know him when you see him. Find him, you and Woodstock, and stick with him til we're all together again. I hope you are playing w the butterflies on the hillside, and running victory laps like you always did, looking like a silly, happy little horse with your ears flapping behind you. 8/20/03- Miss you little guy. Your blueberry bush is doing well. and we will never forget you. Tell woodstock that you too can chase butterflies all day long and tell him we throw a ball for him to find every so often. You were so brave all those years. Thanks for sharing our life. Spring 2004...I am changing your stuff today, buddy...making your memorial look more like spring...we miss you, I thought of you a lot today. I know you are happy and healthy now...Christmas 2005....we still think of you often, little one, and miss you. You and Gramma are together now at the Bridge.Kiss her hello for us....we love you. Summer 2006, we think of you still, brave little guy....and miss you still. You were such a courageous and spunky little dog. You would love our cottage at the lake, all except the July fireworks! Remember how you used to hide behind the couch at Gramma's camp when there were fireworks??
