Sad news for Belle, of Belle Pepper Couture

Belle one of the name sakes for Belle Pepper Couture crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge on March 22, 2012. She was almost 15 years old. She was a very loved doggie. She was a sweet, gentile, beautiful Sheltie lady. She was very smart, she was expert. She loved greeting everyone at the store every day. She is lovingly remembered by her family. She will be missed and every day we think about her and how amazing she was as a dog. She loved to spend time with us, no matter if it was trying on clothing for fittings or lounging on the cool tile floor.

Pepper and Bambi miss her, she was their friend and companion as well.

For those who have lost their dog friends, this is an amazing poem that has helped us a lot in our loss of a dear family member.

Here's the Rainbow Bridge poem.

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....
