| 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.... Author unknown... |

| I STOOD BESIDE YOUR BED LAST NIGHT I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep. I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here." I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me. I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more. I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there. I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me." You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there. It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, "I never went away." You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew ... in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you. The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "Goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning." And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side. I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me. Author Unknown |

| I have gone on before you, but it is only to show you the way. |
| Handcuffs "Cuffs" Lost his battle to kidney failure 8/07 Cuffs was a great friend and comfort to me. He loved a good chunk of catnip, long walks around the neighborhood, basking in the sun on the patio or in the bay window, chasing shoe laces, hiding in any box or bag he could get into and most of all a good game of chase combined with hide & go seek. He purred loud and often right up to the end and I will never forget his desire to cuddle and his funny little scrunched up face. As my dad used to say with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye, "Boy Cuffs, you must have really been going fast when you hit the wall." I will love him always. Sue(Mommy) |
| JACK If you take your animals to Bartlett Animal Hospital, you probably know the big yellow lab "Jack." He happily came to work with his Daddy Dr. Baker for nearly 11years. He always came in with a smile on his face and his tail wagging, because he loved his job. His duties included being official greeter, treat eater, blood donor, and training dummy for new technician. At home he was playmate for the kids and protector of the family. His daily goals were to sneak past doors to say hi to people, get as many hand outs as possible, and ask to go outside right when everyone had their hands busy. He was diagnosed with bone cancer awhile ago and still came to work with a tail wag and a smile. When his pain got too bad, his Daddy and the staff sent him to the rainbow bridge to be at peace. I worked with Jack for 7 years, so he has a special place in my heart. Well done good and faithful servant! We all will greatly miss you! |

| Oreo Oreo was a part of my daily schedule for over a year. I was there to give him fluids for kidney failure. He was given 6 months to live YEARS ago, but he wasn't going to believe that. His battle was lost Feb. 2008. He was just a month short of his 20th birthday. Oreo will always have a special place in my heart and I will miss our 2pm visit every day. |
