IN LOVING MEMORIES
These are our babies that have past on over the
Rainbow Bridge.  Each and everyone of them will
be forever missed.

Read the beautiful Rainbow Bridge poem below!

This is my Grandmother Lillian, She was co- founder of Crystal's
Dachshund Crossing.  She raised me my whole life and I am eternally
grateful for everything she taught me.  She began the love for Dachshunds
back in her 20s, the picture to the side was her first Dachshund Red Baron.  
Once she moved in with me in 2001, she would tell me stories of how she
missed him.  I then had the chance to purchase a dachshund and it brought
light to her again. So then I got a female and told her of my plans and she
was thrilled, she named quite a few of my dogs, and
she was very involved in the process.  She has since
passed in 2006 and she has passed the love of
dachshunds on to me and I will continue on in
memory of her to let other people enjoy the love
dachshunds have brought to us.

AT RAINBOW BRIDGE

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of meadows,
hills and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
There is always food and water and warm Spring weather.
Those old and frail animals are young again.
Those who have been maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other.

Some of them here by the Bridge are different.
These pets were beaten, starved, tortured, and unloved.
They watch wistfully as their friends leave one by one,
to cross the bridge with their special person.
For them there is no one, no special one.
Their time on earth did not give them one.

But one day, as they run and play,
they notice someone standing by the road to the bridge.
This person wistfully watches the reunions of friends,
for during life, this person had no pet.
This person was beaten, starved, tortured, and unloved.

Standing there alone, one of the unloved pets approaches,
curious as to why this one is alone.
And as the unloved pet and the unloved person get nearer to each other,
a miracle occurs, for these are the ones who were meant to be together,
the special person and the beloved pet who never had the chance to meet while on Earth.
Finally, now, at the edge of the Rainbow Bridge, their souls meet,
the pain and the sorrow disappears, and two friends are together.

They cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
