Rainbow Bridge

This page is dedicated to my pets and rescues that have crossed the 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....

Benji AKA Buddy, no one knew your birthday, but we guessed you were 14 when you wandered into that sweet ladies garage. I tried to find your owner, but it seemed she didn't care. You lived the rest of your days with my mom in the lap of doggy luxury. Alas your time came to an end, and your now in Gods hands, we miss your curly wiggle butt, and those soulful eyes, but know that we will meet again on this side of heaven.

I Stood Beside Your Bed Last Night
(Author Unknown. )

I stood by your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly
As you brushed away a tear.
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here"

I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea.
You were thinking of the many times
Your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I want to take your parcels,
I wished I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you that
I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house
As you fumbled for the key,
I gently put my paw on you,
I smiled and said "It's me".

You looked so very tired and
Then you sank into a chair,
I tried so hard to let you know
That I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be
So near you everyday,
To say to you with certainty
"I never went away".

You sat there very quietly,
Then smiled, I think you knew
That in the stillness of that evening
I was very close to you.

The day is over....
I smile and watch you yawning
And say, "Good Night, Sweet Dreams, God Bless,
I'll see you in the morning".

And when the time is right for you
To cross the brief divide
I'll rush to greet you and well stand
Together side by side.

I have so many things to show you,
There's much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out;
Then come home and be with me.

Sweet Little Roly, Though your time here was short, you changed my life. I realized that though I loved you so much, I could let you go. I know your adoptive Mom & Dad love you very much, and miss you terribly, I hope they can find peace, and know that God needed you more then we did. I can only hope that they can recover from your loss, and rest in the knowledge that you will be in Heaven waiting for them with your Mother. RIP my little Bobblehead baby I miss you. 2/10/07 till 4/23/07

Sebastian, you had a very tough life in the short time you were with us, but you are better now. I hope when I cross the bridge you will understand why I made the decision I did. I hope God has taken your seizures and pain away, and made you healthy again, Mommy misses your kitty kisses, my sweet Sebastian. 7/2005 to 3/6/2006

Tyson, was my big baby for 2 and a half years untill I made a very painful decision to put him down. Tysons life was a happy one but for the last 6 months of it he became very agressive with humans as well as animals. I love you Ty Ty, Mommy misses your sweet bully kisses so much. Tyson 11-1-01 to 7-31-04 The bully breeds have such a bad reputation, I want anyone who reads this to know that my Tysons tempermant change was caused by a car accident, where he hit his head badly, and it caused swelling on his brain, not because of his breed.

Nate, AKA Vegas you were with us almost a year, when God called you home, may your body be healed, may the seizures have stopped. Please remember the warm loving arms that held you tight, and know that we will be back with you one day, but our work here is not done. Vegas my mom loved you so much, from the moment she saw you, she fell in love. After losing Buddy, she cried all the time till she met you, though your time with her was short, know that she still misses you and your silly puppy face.
