Shadow, our old dog, has been deceased for one year. I feel sad because she is not with me in physical form though she is with me in spirit. It is hard to be without her especially when she was so close to us. I thought I would share this with you all. For anyone who has had a pet die this poem speaks to our hearts. 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 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 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. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to break away 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.
In loving memory of Shadow Sabrina Hutchinson. She was 15 an 1/2 years old.
