Those of us who love our animals know that their time with us if often too short. You may pay tribute to the place your Best Friend had in your life and your heart on the Memorial page. This page is dedicated to the memory of Wendy, the beloved pet of former CHS president Mickey Williamson.
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, 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 Rainbow Bridge together....

Wendy    June 10, 1991 - March 31,2003 For those of you who knew Wendy, or knew of her..... Adopted San Francisco SPCA. Drifted quietly into the next life, with the help of a few cc’s of pink stuff,after a full year or more of living with Cushing’s Disease, always in the moment, always with dignity and acceptance. Wendy was never really a dog. She was her own person, and she generously made room in her life for us. Now she is free to run like the wind again. She was an old soul who knew more than she could tell. And all who knew her will never forget "the look." We will miss her; the cats will miss her. Mickey and Penny

	Sabrina    July 28,1989 - June 30, 2003 Sabrina was a chocolate miniature poodle and a more agreeable dog it would be hard to find. She liked men, women, kids, cats and other dogs, but most of all she loved me. She was my shadow and my mind reader. I loved her dearly and miss her terribly and hope she is waiting at the Rainbow Bridge. Barbara Brooks

Rex    Jan 1972 to Sept 1987 Rex the Wonder Dog.....It's a wonder that he made it for 15 years. Rex came from the Orange County Pound and was our first "child" before we had children. He went to the desert, the beach, and the mountains with us. He helped us raise kittens, other puppies/dogs and even my children. What a great "pound puppy" you were Rex. Missed daily and loved forever....I know you're there waitin'. Bob & Amy Monsen

	Marvin O'Gravel Balloonface    1991 to 2001 Marvin O'Gravel Balloonface, named after a Dr. Suess character, was a character in and of his own self!! Gregarious, affectionate, a dog in a cat's body . . . you came with me from an old life and helped me transition into my current one. Thank you for helping me cross that bridge, and I hope to meet you when I cross the next . . . Darcy Zimmerman

	Troubles    July 12,1987-Sept. 30,2003 Troubles was a beautiful black Lab mixed with Queensland Healer. A wonderful pet,more she was a lady to the end. We loved her for thirteen plus years and will never,never forget her. Rey& Iris Fallo

	Bugs    July 12,1987-Sept. 23,2003 Bugs was the most loving dog. For thirteen years, always trying to protect us. We love him so much and will never forget the moments we had together. Ashley

Tank    Dec. 2003 - Nov. 18, 2004 Tank’s short but full life enriched our lives everyday. He was a true companion and touched us deeply. “Tanky” was born with a SAS heart murmur, so physically his heart was weak, but in spirit he had more heart than most. Although Tank was still a pup, he was well beyond his years. He had so much love to share and never failed to bring a smile to our face. His heart here limited him, but now he is free to run. We say “Run Free Little Tanky! …we will miss you and love you always. Nathan & Becky Gomes

Jean Claude,"Yucca"    Dec. 25, 1988 - Feb. 13,2005 Jean Claude was a loving and cheerful companion to Lisa, Molly, and Jeff. He was ever ready for a game of freeze and chase, and because he only knew love and tenderness from his family, he believed in the goodness and play-worthiness of all people. He came by his nickname, "Yucca" because Molly couldn't pronounce Jean Claude. For sixteen years he was the baby of the family, living much longer than his doctor expected due to Lisa's devoted care. He and his dear ways will be very much missed. Garth and Meryl Brooks
