Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of Heaven is a place called "Rainbow Bridge"
When an animal passes away who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows, hills, lakes and streams 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, comfortable, and safe.
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 very 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 a day comes when one will suddenly stop and stare into the distance. His bright eyes widen and are intent. His eager body quivers in anticipation.
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 meet, you cling to each other in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face. Your hands again caress their beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting, loving eyes of your friend, who was gone from your life.....but who was never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.......


Mangobull's Naughty Nadia "Nadia"
Very sad to share that Nadia passed away July 9, 2025.....she was almost 14.5 and lost control of her legs.....her hips were very good and I feel two vaccines of Librela contributed to this. She had arthritis and this was said to be a "miracle" cure but in fact was not.....many of the dogs who got this vaccine ended up the same way as Nadia....RIP Nadia; you will be missed!! 03/23/11-07/09/25

"ATLAS" 12/23/14-10/20/25
Atlas was rapidly not feeling well and brought to the vet on October 20, 2025 where he continued to get worse and could not stand....it was found that he had hemangioscarcoma and was put to sleep.....I will miss him and thankful he was loved by the Hutchinson's for the last 2 years of his life!!
I got Atlas back in January 2023 after trying to get him back for 6 years! I knew he was not in a good home and it broke my heart....old owner has been charged with 107 abuse and neglect charges and has left New Mexico and gone to Texas. He has been evaluated by Canine Purpose Training facility in Loomis and has passed all evaluations. He is one of the few Presa males with Excellent hips and Good elbows and a outstanding temperament. He is literally bomb proof with kids and is good with strangers when I am around.
