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 furry friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigour;
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 or her's bright eyes are intent as their eager body
quivers with anticipation and joy. Suddenly he or she begins to run from the
group, flying over the green grass, as their legs carry them 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 familiar beloved head, and you
look once more into the trusting eyes of your furry companion, so long gone from
your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.......

"Still so gently o'er me
stealing,
Mem'ry will bring back the feeling,
Spite of all my grief revealing,
That I love thee, that I dearly love thee still."
- Opera of La Sonnambula -
I thought it would be nice for pet owners who have lost a pet to pay a little tribute to their loved one, so please do not hesitate to send me a photo of your pet with your tribute. To allow more pet owners to have their tribute on the page so I would be very grateful if you could keep your tribute to just a few words. As soon as I have a few photos of your pets I will put them onto this page. Please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope for the return of your photos.
"And when the stream
Which overflowed the soul was passed away,
A consciousness remained that it had left
Deposited upon the silent shore
Of memory images and precious thoughts
That shall not die, and cannot be destroyed."

A place in thy memory, dearest,
Is all that I claim;
To pause and look back when thou hearest
The sound of my name.
