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, someone 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, but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

It came along Mom, Dad, kids and dogs, I was happy for a while. The marriage fell apart and it broke my heart When I returned to rescue. As time went along they kept my faith strong that there was a home for me. And yes, they were right My new home brought light and joy into my life. I abandoned my fears and spent many years enjoying my new family. When my time came, Despite her own pain, my mom let me go, surrounded by her love. I want her to know when her time comes she won't be alone. I will be waiting, tail happily waving, to escort her over the Bridge. Mocha Gray Feb. 22, 2001 - Jul. 8, 2009 Jodi Marcus July 8, 2009

Bebop 5/99- 10/25/08
He is now with our pack and his sister at the Rainbow Bridge, healthy and whole. I can see it now..someone approaches the bridge and Bebop throws himself in front of them, rolling on his back for a belly rub...the toll for crossing the bridge. He is sorely missed by Jodi, Charlie and the gang
