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 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 have 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 begins to quiver. 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....
Now I miss my puppy. And my kitties. I'm home alone for the night (thank goodness) so I'm off to go enjoy my time alone. I'm sorry if I made you cry. (((hugs)))
Love always,
Vickey

Hey Vickey~
I'm soo sorry for your losses. I was given your entry link by a fellow j-lander who is a very caring soul. you see, I just got word from my vet today that my 9 1/2 year old blk lab, Maddy, has cancer. Rainbow Bridge is where she may be in a few months but, of course, I'm praying it will be more. I'm planning to post an entry about my very best friend announcing she is ill so people will pray for her. May I please have your permission to post this segment in my entry? please let me know.
much love to you, barbie~
You know, my ginger tom cat has been gone for eight years now, I still miss him. He was such a character. It makes me smile to think of him running and playing up there in Rainbow Bridge :o)

aww how sad. I've lost a few pets and it's a very hard thing. My cat is like my child (just like my other pets were) As I'm sure you can tell from my many Makeveli posts.
BTW feel free to link or copy anything from my journal, I don't mind that's why it's public :)
luv,
Promise
That was so sweet doll, I'm sorry that you're missing your lovies.
Enjoy the house to yourself, I know I do ;)

That reminded me of all the pets I have lost over the years. I just recently lost my dog last year that I had since I was 9 years old it was very hard for me. Now i cannot have anymore pets because i hate that feeling of loss. Your story was very touching, sad but had a happy ending Thanks for sharing it with me. ~*Tara*~ http://journals.aol.com/ladyt9two5/TheBrunetteChronicles
