From Johnny…

One of the most cherished traditions in the U.S. Military is the toasting of "Absent Friends", those Military Service Members that have passed, and whose memory should not - and will not - be forgotten.

Phil and I know, understand, and have shared, the tremendous pain and sense of loss we all experience when a member of our pet family passes. On February 22, 2008, we lost our beloved Golden Retriever, Max. We will always love him and remember him, and Maxie will forever be a member of our Rouse House Family.

In the following photos, Phil and I honor the memory of those client special pet friends that have passed.

We know that God hasn't forgotten these wonderful, loving family members and that they will be waiting for their owners at the Rainbow Bridge, where, one day, like Max, Phil and I, they will be reunited, and will be together again…forever.

It was truly a blessing for Phil and I to have known each of these gentle creatures. They will always remain in our hearts and we will always love, cherish, and remember them as…
