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....

Woody had a rough start in life with numerous trips to Cornell for Potomac Horse Fever, colic surgery, then a non surgical
colic. He rose out of it all by placing third at Devon this year in tough company.
On the trailer ride to Saugerties, he was stricken with another colic episode, and went straight to the vet clinic upon
arrival. We worked on him all through the night trying everything short of surgery, but his colon was displaced to the
degree that all measures were exhausted, and he was euthanized in the morning. You will be missed boogerboy!
Thanks to Kaitlin for all the help with him throughout the night.
