Rainbow Bridge

We picked up Peanut this week from being cremated. It was bitter sweet to have him back with us, even though he's not with us in physical form.  The place where he was cremated was amazing and gave us a card with poem on it that I just had to share. For all of those that have lost a beloved pet, I hope you enjoy this too....

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 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 from your

life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
