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 and 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 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. The bright eyes are intent; the
eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away 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.......
