Homestead Dogue de Bordeaux

The longer we are in this breed the more we realize just how special they are and
realize the potential for losing them as they age. It doesn't matter whether they live
2 years or 10, whether they're a breeding Dogue, pet, or Rescue, losing them is so hard.
But the love and joy they bring to our home and the memories they leave us with when
they go make the inevitable heartache just a little more easy to handle.

Though we know this may not be a long-lived breed as other breeds are, we have
chosen them anyway because they are ....... so very "special".

We are so grateful for what each has given us to remember them by.

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, 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, someone who was 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 breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
