Rainbow Bridge       

 

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, 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 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 quivers. 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....

Little One
Little One was seen on December 2, 2005 around 9 p.m. by Marci Elliott, one of our best supporters. Disturbed by his messy bottom, she rescued him, brought him home and on Friday took him in to Dr. Larkins. Little One was very sick with hook and roundworms as well as coccidia - at one point, Dr. Larkins thought he was going to die. After a week at Dr. Larkins, he came home with Linda and Pam, and despite all of their valiant efforts, Little One went to the Bridge on December 9, 2005, with Pam holding him in her arms. Had Marci not interceded in his short life, he would have been outside somewhere in the rain, cold, starving and alone. While our hearts are sad for Linda and Pam and their experiencing the loss of Little One, he died feeling loved and cared for - and not alone. Thank you, Linda, Pam, for your valiant efforts. See you someday, Little One - tell Chance and Tommy we said hi.
