Sonni, also known as Rusty's Sonni Sunday, was the daughter of my foundation bitch and start in dobermans. Sonni was born in my kitchen and ended up in my bed and my heart and soul. She was my constant companion for almost 12 years. She helped raise 3 children of my own, a few others that came to stay, several other dogs, and her own son, Lucas. She was the first doberman registered in the Longivety Certificate Program. She loved kittens and her greatest joy was to sit and watch the squirrels play in the trees. She would sit for hours watching them. Her last day with me, we spent almost an hour outside, in the cold, watching some squirrels that were out. When she grew tired of that, she came in the house and laid with me by my computer and passed away. Sonni is buried under the tree she enjoyed watching her squirrels play in. My sweetheart, you are whole again, you don't have any more pain and I pray you are at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for me and spending your time watching the squirrels with out any interruptions. Give them hell Redhead !!!

~ The 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 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 of 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 miss their *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 The Rainbow Bridge TOGETHER.
