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....

Don't cry and sob when you think of your departured companion, smile when you think of them, when you recollect all that wonderful and unforgetable memories. They will be well taken care of over there and when the right time comes, you will reunite. Life goes on =)
*hugs to all who miss their wonderful companions*

VT,
Bunny's happy and in good hands now! She was born with physical deformities which may have influence on her health. I'm glad she got the love from my friend before she goes to the bridge!
Chris,
Hahaha, who were they especially close to?
I'm not sure but I hope some day when I'm running across the bridge to hug my dead goldfish a velociraptor doesn't pounce on the both of us :X
My dearest pet rabbit just passed away on 30 June.... I was really devastated.... Hope all the animals get their freedom at the rainbow bridge...
