Rainbow Bridge........


I believe


Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to

someone here, that pet goes to the 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 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 the Rainbow Bridge together .
