There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those whom are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.

There is only on thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth. Each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! Suddenly one runs from the group! You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, Never again to be seperated....


  ~DON'T GRIEVE TOO LONG~

Don't grieve to long, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God set for me
I ran to Him when I heard His call
I wagged my tail and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To bark, to love, to romp or play
Games left unplayed must stay that way
I found such peace, it made my day.

My parting has left you with a void
So fill it with your remembered joy
A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss
Oh yes these things I too shall miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full, you've given so much
Your time, your love and gentle touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me, now He's set me free.


~ONE SMALL FURRY FRIEND~

There was in our home, this small furry friend, who didn't ask to come into our lives, who didn't require much help or care, who didn't cost us anything, but a little food, who only asked for some of our love and attention.

This friend of ours didn't hurt anyone, by thought or deed, he tried only to please. All of our friends life was spent trying to make us happy. He asked for so little, but gave so much. Never was he too tired, too hungry, never too sick to show us love, in every way possible, he dimonstrated his love; with the tilt of his head, the sparkle in his eye, the wag of his tail.

How he waited for us to show him some attention, so he could show us his love. How he lived the Golden Rule!

This friend was one of our family. A most important part of our lives. He is sadly missed, but we are so much better for his having shared his life with us. We can think of nothing, and perhaps no one, that has better taught us to give and receive love so openly, unselfishly and unashamedly, as this one small furry friend.
