Titan Rose, was my first dog, my family's too. We all enjoyed the love she shared with us and the bonds she created with everyone she met. Her name is from the movie, Remember the Titans. And she certainly lived up to the strength and standard of her name. She had some nicknames, "booboos" and "crazy girl". She was wildly stubborn, very opinionated for a pup, and sweet, and sassy all at once. She also loved to learn, explore, hoard any tennis ball she could get a hold of, and occasionally enjoyed pup cups and watermelon. Titan, was my best gal for thirteen and a half years, which for me, was all of my 20s and early 30s. She was there for it all and everyone knew to expect her with me wherever I went. We definitely had the best adventures together and a life so full. While Titans time with us has come to an end, the joy she brought to our lives and the memories shared will forever live on and never be forgotten. She was the best first dog I could have asked for. My Craigslist puppy, my crazy girl, I miss you immensely. 

Thank you, Sunny Crest Animal Care Center for this beautiful poem, memorial, and most of all, for taking care of my girl for so many years. You all have been an amazing team even through this difficult time. 

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....
