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 and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days 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 carry him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend 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 together you and your special pet cross the Rainbow Bridge.
That is a beautiful piece of writing and a lovely thought that we will eventually be reunited with our beloved pets.Appropriate too as several members referred to the rainbow bridge after Oscar's passing.
If it is true then I should have 2 dogs waiting for me at the rainbow bridge when the time comes.

What a wonderful piece of writing.....but oh so sad.
Like many pieces written about Oscar, over the last couple of days, it has made me cry, remembering all the good times that we have had with our departed, yet never forgotten loyal friends and companions. Dogs, ponies, horses I have said goodbye and buried many and still think of them daily....all characters in their own right....good & bad. We just have one 16 year old Chocolate Labrador left with us now.....deaf & nearly blind..... but she still loves life and all that it has to offer. I pray that it will be a good while yet before she goes to the 'Rainbow Bridge' , but it is a lovely piece to keep in mind when that awful time arrives.
Thanks for sharing it with us

It sounds a lovely place and I hope my boy is there with lots of doggy friends

Heavy hearted
īTil you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train
On a summer evening
Iīll run to meet you
Barefoot barely breathing
