| 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....
