Scout
2013–2025
Loved and deeply missed by the The Anderson Family
Scout was pure intelligence wrapped in soft black-and-white fur. She watched the world with those wise, knowing eyes and seemed to understand every word we said, and probably a few we didn't.
She was happiest with a job to do: herding the kids in the backyard, fetching the morning paper, or quietly checking on each member of the family before settling down for the night. Scout took her role as family guardian seriously, and we never felt safer than when she was near.
Twelve years of unwavering loyalty, boundless energy, and the kind of friendship that words can barely capture. Our brilliant, beautiful Scout, forever our girl.
"Scout was a gentle, happy family member and is eternally missed by everyone."

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 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...
