With tears in my eyes, I drove you
one last time
to
the vet. One last time, you were lying next
to me. For
some strange reason, you were able to stand
up in the
animal hospital; perhaps it was your sense of
pride.
As the vet led you away, you stopped
for an
instant, turned your head and looked at me as
if to say,
"Thank you for taking care of
me."
I thought, "No, thank you or taking
care of
me."

"SEBASHTON--6 years old!
1985-1998"
They will not go quietly, the dog's who've
shared our lives.
In subtle ways they
let
us know their spirit still survives.
Old
habits still make us think we hear a barking
at the door, or step back when we drop a
tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet
still
go around the place the food dish used to be,
and, sometimes, coming home at night, we miss
them terribly.
And although time may
bring
bring new friends and a new food dish to
fill, That one place in our hearts belongs to
them...... and always will.

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 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....
