Ringo II
5/6/2024 - Ringo was sent over the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon. He was our forever foster. We treated him as our own and loved him immensely. Letting him go was the kindest last act of love we could give him. He was found stray in our RV Park in Ruskin. TBBR had no fosters available to care for him. So we fostered him. He was found 6 pounds underweight, weighing only 13 pounds, w/3 broken toes and a blown knee on the same leg. Heartworm positive, ear infections, fleas, a perineal hernia. His life expectancy was 2 months to two years. We bought him in our home on 12/27/2022 and he passed today. He was about 14 years old. He was suffering from pain due to the hernia and his worn joints. He was not a candidate for surgery. TBBR was so supportive of his care and financial support for medical assistance well. We are so grateful for TBBR’s support of Ringo. He was very scared of people at first, but in time he learned he could trust and accept love. A part of our hearts are reserved just for Ringo, forever.

Sadie
5/6/2024 - My OG. How did we only make it ten years together? You will forever be my favorite shotgun rider, DQ loving, beach loving girl, officially official therapy dog. This world won’t be the same without you in it. Thank you for always showing up for me over this past decade. From moving to Florida, to paramedic school, to nursing school and everything in between you’ve seen me at my lowest and you’ve celebrated with me in my highest. You were my gentle loving soul and there will never be another Sadie Lady. I will love you forever and miss you just as much. Run free pretty girl.

Peggy Sue
12/5/2023 - Our beautiful little girl Peggy Sue has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. she is now with her brothers Nigel, Gus, Bert and Ernie. She was with us one month short of 4 years diagnosed this morning with Cancers in the mammary glands. We put her to sleep right then and there she had been in pain and had difficulty walking the last few weeks. She was asleep and looked like an angel

Lana (Olana)
11/2/2023 - Reggie and I took happy, sweet Lana to our FL Vet this morning for routine shots and a check-up. A swelling under her stomach was diagnosed as a very dangerous spleen expansion with abdominal blood draining – a possible cancer which might explode at any moment. Lana was put to sleep about 2PM today. We are heartbroken and sad. We have been blessed with three wonderful years with her. We are so sad.

Ollie
11/21/2023 - On July 5, 2020, I adopted Ollie. I kept the name that was given to him. He was the most wonderful, loving beagle I've even known. Ollie loved everyone, especially children. Even though I live alone, Ollie was a tremendous indoor Beagle and hardly ever barked or demanded attention. The only time we would bark is outside on Friday mornings when the WM trucks would pass. We loved walks and was a totally different beagle inside to outside. Outside he was 100% beagle sniffing and wondering. What was so interesting was that he didn't chase or go after rabbits and in fact when they would pass, both would look at each other and go on. For a "hunting" dog, he respected other animals. Ollie developed a large mass along his stomach and began having digestive problems. Luckily I was able to keep him happy and eating by only giving Ollie soft, digestible food but made a hard decision based on the fact the mass was growing and his quality of life was deteriorating. On Nov 21, 2023, Ollie joined my previous wonderful pets with a wish Ollie will give them all my best with the hope someday we will all be together to celebrate our earthly times together. Bob Belinke
