Just this side of
Heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When a
pet-companion dies who 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 play together. There is plenty of food, water
and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the
pet-companions 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 time gone by. The
pet-companions
are happy and content, except for one small thing - they miss someone very special who was
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 begins to quiver.
Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long
gone from your life. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together. (author unknown)
