Scarlet's Rainbow Bridge Memorials

Remembering Our Beloved Operation Scarlet Kids

Each dog remembered here holds a special place in the Operation Scarlet family. Through their photographs and stories, we honor the joy they brought, the lives they touched, and the love they left behind.

Though they may no longer be by our side, their beautiful spirits and cherished memories will remain forever in our hearts.

Akasha

Akasha was rescued in 2001. She was a sweet, sweet girl with a very troubled past. So troubled that her days were tormented by extreme anxiety. So many of us at O.S. tried to make her days happier and more comfortable, but our efforts were not enough to help her forget. Dear sweet Akasha, may you now find peace and be free of pain and suffering.

Tribute To A Best Friend

Sunlight streams through window pane
unto a spot on the floor….
then I remember,
it’s where you used to lie,
but now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
and muted echoes sound….
then I remember,
It’s where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road,
and up beyond the hill,
then I remember it can’t be yours….
your golden voice is still.
But I’ll take that vacant spot of floor
and empty muted hall
and lay them with the absent voice
and unused dish along the wall.
I’ll wrap these treasured memorials
in a blanket of my love
and keep them for my best friend
until we meet above.

On August 25th, 2003 Brutus passed on. After 9 good years of giving unconditional love to his adopted family and being loved right back, chronic problems with his rear hips, arthritis, and just plain old age in general finally took their toll.

Thanks for the good times bud, thanks for the memories. The Leos

“Happiness can be defined as the furious wagging of your tail, Metronome Butt. The happier you were, the harder your tail, and tail end, wagged.
Even through the long, and unusually successful, battle with your cancer, your proud little flag was waving.
You were always ready for whatever adventure waited, and joyously celebrated with your food bowl.
Be sure to show everyone your “I’m so happy I can’t stand it” dance. Zeus is with you now, the way it should be.”

You meant the world to us and brought us joy and mischievous moments but I wouldn’t have traded you for anything in this world. You had a wild side to you a first but became a big softy after all the hugs you received. You always let us know who or what was outside by your different barks and sounds. We could tell if it was a bunny (your favorite), a deer, a person or your buddy Timmy walking around. You were always there in the morning and at night watching over us. We will miss how you greeted us every time we walked through the door. You are our buddy and protector and will always forever be in our hearts. Give our pal Oscar a doggie hug from us. Luv u Te!
