Nick and Emma

In memory of our beautiful girl, Emma, and our sweet boy, Nick. These two loved the beach and we’re so happy they were able to enjoy their last year actually living at the beach. Emma loved to swim and, in her younger days, it was amazing to watch her time it just right and jump the waves to retrieve her favorite stick. Nick, our Butter Bean, preferred to wait for the hard retrieval work to be done and then “help” Emma carry the stick to shore. After 13 1/2 years, Emma decided she was done and we gently helped her to the Rainbow Bridge on April 17, 2012. Nick grieved Emma’s loss and then gradually learned to relish the role of “only” dog – accepting all the love, all the hugs and all the treats for himself. We enjoyed a great summer with our boy and on September 14, 2012, Nick very unexpectedly passed over to the Rainbow Bridge. He was only 6 years old. We miss our guys so much but loved every moment with them. As we try to find our peace, we know they are now at peace, carefree and happy with all their friends, new and old, at the Rainbow Bridge.  Barb Hals & Sharon Dyke   (1301212)
