Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of Heaven is a place called "Rainbow Bridge"
When an animal passes away who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows, hills, lakes and streams 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, comfortable, and safe.
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 very 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 a day comes when one will suddenly
stop and stare into the distance. His bright eyes widen and are intent. His eager body quivers in anticipation.
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 meet, you cling to each other in joyous
reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face. Your hands again caress their
beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting, loving eyes of
your friend, who was gone from your life.....but who was never absent
from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.......

Mangobull's Naughty Nadia
"Nadia"
03/23/11-07/09/25
Very sad to share that Nadia passed away July 9, 2025.....she was almost 14.5 and lost control of her legs.....her hips were very good and I feel two vaccines of Librela contributed to this. She had arthritis and this was said to be a "miracle" cure but in fact was not.....many of the dogs who got this vaccine ended up the same way as Nadia....RIP Nadia; you will be missed!!
"ATLAS"
12/23/14-10/20/25
Atlas was rapidly not feeling well and brought to the vet on October 20, 2025 where he continued to get worse and could not stand....it was found that he had hemangioscarcoma and was put to sleep.....I will miss him and thankful he was loved by the Hutchinson's for the last 2 years of his life!!
OAKLEAF'S NICO DE IPK

Sad to say Tyrone passed away at 1.5 years old when he got stuck down a skunk burrow and could not get out....skunk was in the burrow and when they release the skunk odor it will kill a dog underground.

Terror's Taz Maniac of Oakleaf

Vets are not sure what caused Taz to pass; he collapsed and now I wonder if he had the same reaction to bee stings that Tazzie has; he was too young!!
Oakleaf's Armando de Redstar
July 5, 2005 - August 18, 2013
Armando collapsed while running on my property and vet diagnosed him with hemangioscarcoma in his liver and spleen and he never stood up again; these dogs are amazing with no prior health issues.
Oakleaf's Red Star Tyra
Tyra passed of a tragic accident; she loved to go lay in my van when I was home and did so and unfortunately I had workers on my property that closed the door in July...she was 4 years old.
Oakleaf's Red Star Tahgor
Tahgor passed of "dry drowning" after fighting with a raccoon in my pond the night before he passed.

Tara's Tovah of Oakleaf
12/31/13-10/30/17
Tovah collapsed in my yard and only had a small cut under her front leg; her temperature was elevated and at emergency vet they cooled her down too low; in the 80s! They were teaching some vet students and I feel were not paying attention....they told me to go home and they wanted to observe her for a while longer and when I got home they said to come back as she was passing...horrible!
