Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

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, 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 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 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 Rainbow Bridge together....

A Dogs Prayer

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no

heart in all the world is more grateful

for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick,

for though I should lick your hand between the

blows, your patience and understanding will

more quickly teach me the things you would

have me do.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the

world's sweetest music, as you must know by

the fierce wagging of my tail when your

footstep falls upon my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me

inside, for I am now a domesticated animal,

no longer used to bitter elements.

And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of

sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

Though had you no home, I would rather

follow you through ice and snow than rest

upon the softest pillow in the warmest home

in all the land, for you are my god and I am

your devoted worshiper.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water,

for although I should not reproach you were it dry,

I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.

Feed me clean food, that I may stay well,

to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk

by your side, and stand ready, willing and

able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.

And, beloved master, should the great Master

see fit to deprive me of my health or sight,

do not turn me away from you. Rather,

hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands

grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest -

and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew,

my fate was ever safest in

your hands.

And it was....

Sorry for your loss Donna and family.
