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 I always food and water, and warm spring weather. Those old and frail animals are young again. Those who have been maimed are made whole again.

They play all day with each other. There is only one thing missing. They are not with the special people who loved them on earth.

So, each day they run and play until the day comes when onesuddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches, the earsare up, the eyes stare, and this one suddenly 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 iskissed again and again and again, and you looked once more into the eyes of your trusted pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated. Online condolences may be made at www.
