Bruno Przelenski

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. . .

Dear Bruno,
we have only met once, but I do remember you, a handsome beau!!!

My mom and dad told me so much about you and your family. I am sad to see you leave your beloved family. But, I know that you backpack will fill with all the loves from your mom, dad, brothers, sister, and all your friends. Mom and dad will miss seeing you getting ready to fetch multiple tennis balls carry in your mouth, with such cute and eager smile for the play. They will miss you dearly to see you following them around in the garage or backyard. Or just giving you that fun belly rub.... Best of all, you always smell so nice!! I am sure that you will meet up with Dirtball, Cinder, Moby, and Buster by the Rainbow Bridge. Please say hi to them for us. WE ALL miss them, and we sure will miss you too. Bruno, so long, fairwell....You are in good hand. And you will have endless place for you to chase and fetch your tennis balls!! We might not see you physically. But, you will always in our heart. Please send the message to your beloeved family and friends that you are truly in heaven with all the best pals now.

Holly/John/Hank/Jack/Sandy, our thoughts are with you. Please take care....

Love,
Mimi, Julie, and Brian

Dear Holly & Family,

The pain you are feeling tonight is as hard as it gets in life. I'm so sorry for the loss of your long-time companion and friend Bruno. Hug Sunny and let Anna give you comfort.

My heartfelt condolences go to you all. I would do anything if I could help you through this day.

Love,
Marsele

Dear Holly and family,

Sorry to hear about Bruno. It seems weird to think of you without him. He was a great companion for you and your family.

We will remember how Bruno stayed next to us until we would throw his tennis ball. He was always ready for a game of fetch. We loved how he could hold two tennis balls in his mouth at one time.

Alexa says Bruno was one of the few dogs she wasn't afraid of. The kids will miss seeing Bruno at your house.

Love,
Terry, Steve, Callie, Alexa, and Brett

Dear Holly, John, Hank, Jack and Sunny,
We are so sorry for your loss of Bruno. He was just hands-down the best and most easy going dog we have had the pleasure to know. He was always happy to see us and fun to be around. We are thankful for all the tennis balls he "Hunted Up" and gave us at the park. We loved celebrating many birthdays with Bruno. We know he is with Moby & Buster in dog heaven - no doubt chasing balls and "reading the paper." We will miss him and wish you all the best.
Love,
Leslie, Dana, Bryce, Grant & Sadie

Dear Holly, John, Hank, Jack and Sunny,

We'll miss Bruno. His two tennis balls, his great holes he could dig in a flash, those cute looks waiting for you to throw the ball he'd bring you, the patience with every kid in the 'hood. EVERYONE knew Bruno! We will miss him. We will keep him in our hearts!
Love,
Joanne, Mike, Samantha, and Matthew

Dear Holly and Family,
I know it must be impossible to find any comfort on a day like today. Bruno was a lucky dog to have such a loving and kind hearted family. My deepest sympathy is with you and your family.
Love,
Kathy

Sweet, sweet Bruno. We have lost too many friends this year. They have shared our joys, our sorrows and our everyday lives. Our true companions and cheerleaders for our most imperfect selves. To love you comes with the pain of letting you go. Yet it's a love we could not imagine living without. You have changed our lives and made us better people. To Bruno!! For all you have done and all the love you have shared. You left this world a better place than you found it.

Holly, John, Hank, Jack and Sunny,

We met Bruno at the park before we were even officially a resident of The Highlands. He had his 2 tennis balls in his mouth, just waiting for one of us to play with him. He was truly one of the nicest dogs we have ever met. You are lucky to have had each other! We will miss him!
We are so sorry for your loss!
Love,
Lynn, Jim, Jessie, Jack and Bo

Dear Bruno,

You made your people family so happy. You were the touch stone when things were crazy busy. We will all miss you so very, very much, but none as much as the family you left behind. You'll stay in their thoughts forever so look over them closely while they learn to accept the new reality without you in the daily routine.

We'll miss you. Thanks for being such a great example for me -- and, yes, I'm sorry I pulled your ears so much.

Love, Annabelle

We will sure miss the General. The first dog I knew that could hold two tennis balls in his mouth! We are thinking of you and sharing your loss. I know he will give a big wet lick and sniff to our beloved Griffey. We love you guys!

John,Holly,Hank,Jack and Sunny,

I remember starting working for the Allan family as there Nanny. The girls and I would always go over to your house and to the park. Seeing Bruno with his tennis balls was amazing. He would carry 2 or 3 balls around waiting for us to play. I love that. He was such and still is a wonderful dog. I will dearly miss him but he will always be in my heart and prayers. He is up in heaven with all his friends. Im sure Moby, Manhatten,Cinder and all the rest of the gang are having fun. Looking down at you guys. We all will remember the memories we have shared with Bruno. He was your companion and friend.

If there is anything you need let me know. I am here for all of you.

With love,
Becca

Bruno,
You and Holly taught me everything I needed to know about raising a dog. I will never forget the many walks (Twin falls, Mercer Island, Coal Creek, the Blueberry Fields, Newcastle and more) we shared. You were gracious, giving and always up for a good time! You were loved by many including me! You will be missed!

Holly,
I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the emptiness. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Bruno's been with you for all your momentuous life decisions. He helped clear your head with a ball or a run. He cuddled for some serious thought on the issues at hand: John? RCIA? Marriage? Birth? Adoption? What a guy! He gave 24/7 and now deserves a rest. What fond and fun thoughts I have of him. Never knew a dog could have knee surgery!

Dear Holly, John, Hank, & Jack,
I'm sorry to hear that Bruno is no longer with you. He was a great companion to people and Sunny & Annabelle. There are many important lessons that people say we can learn from our dogs. Here are what I think are the top 3: 1) Never overlook the chance for a nap; 2) The best toys are found not bought; 3) You are never too old to play! Bruno, you will be missed.

Holly, John, Hank, and Jack,

I was so sorry to hear about Bruno. I feel your loss, even from such a distance. My thoughts will be with you and I wish you peace while you cope with your loss that only time can put into perspective. Bruno's happy presence will always be with you!

Love from the Stasiks - Daryl, Eric, Emma and James

Holly, John, Hank, and Jack,
We are so sorry to hear about Bruno. He was the welcome wagon to the neighborhood who offered tennis balls to all and in return we all got a lot of love and fun. He earned his rest but I know you will miss him. Gabby and Luigi will certainly miss him. Take care.
