9/4/2012 Proudly Announcing...
The Rainbow Bridge Creek, Bath (Steuben County) NY
Almost 7 yrs ago I started this business the plan included an animal memorial park. Jan 10th 2012 I filed a government proposal to name the small creek along our driveway and bordering where a pet memorial park will be to "Rainbow Bridge Creek" , after the "heaven" where pets go. YAHOO!! LOOK AT WHAT JUST CAME INTO MY EMAIL INBOX:

I hope to create a paradise of peace for parents who have lost their "fur Kids" with a chapel & gazebo for services on paths along side the Rainbow Creek Bridge. Having this creek officially named is awesome!! The fact that the us government actually listed in the records ; the ‘rainbow bridge’ refers to the final resting place of animals, is miraculous. This is conformation that I am on the right path in life! When gone may this be my legacy. A reminder to all of the animals and pet parents who I have loved and been able to enhance their life with their companion animals…until we met at the Rainbow Bridge in the Sky.
