Pumpkin was diagnosed with liver
disease on September 20, 2016 and on September 29 she crossed the bridge
peacefully. Her presence in our lives for almost 10 years was immense and
her passing has left a huge hole in our hearts...

Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,
that pet goes to the 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, 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 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 quivers.
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 the Rainbow Bridge together......
