My friends and I have a Rainbow Bridge book that we put pictures in of animals that have crossed over and I find it a great comfort. If no-one minds I would like to start a Rainbow Bridge thread on here so we can all remember our beloved pets.
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 have been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; and 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 who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent; her eager body begins to quiver. Suddently she breaks from the group, flying over the green grass 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 caress her beloved head and you look one more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together..............

For my beloved Marlin Dog who made her transition on December 3rd 2000 after a lifetime of love. You're the brightest star in the night sky now, my darling bat-eared baby. How I miss you, your sweet kisses, your liquid brown eyes and your soft fur. One day I'll hold your beautiful face in my hands again and then we'll fly round the Universe together. [sm=smlove2.gif]
The saddest sound in the world is their last heartbeat.
RE: Rainbow Bridge
For Angel, our beloved friend and pet. She came into our lives 19 years ago and left us peacefully on 10th July 2004. She was the only cat I know who could 'talk' to our children's friends- a legend in her own lifetime.
We love you Angel and know you will visit us now and again,
God Bless

RE: Rainbow Bridge
I would like to add my cantankerous old cat Whiskers, even though you used to swipe me accross the head when you sat on the bannister on the stairs I hope that you are happy.
And Sally, my beautiful black labrador. How we all loved you and still do. We miss you so much and Dec 28th is still a day which is tinged with sadness. I hope that you are wagging your tail as you used to, and those big brown eyes of yours, I'm sure that they are shining.
And Val, you know how much Gabe loved you.
I look forward to being re-united with you one day.
All my love to you all

What a lovely thread, trust you to think of this Doogal.
I would like to remember, my three beautiful dogs, Holly, Rosie and Li Li and my lovely cat Rebel, and my wonderful pony Domonic who was the horsey love of my life, who are now all at Rainbow Bridge and still sadly missed. I know I will meet them all again, and Domonic and I will ride the fields with the dogs at our heels.

RE: Rainbow Bridge
Dear Pegs, my beautiful tortoiseshell tabby cat who went to Rainbow Bridge last night. She was 17 but looked like a kitten! After losing her sight about 6 months ago, she managed to continue and even manged to balance along fences and hunt. A real little tiger, she was very loved and I hope that she continues her wonderful life of hunting and roaming, sunbathing and just being outdoors, in her new home with her new animal friends.
RE: Rainbow Bridge
To my wee boy,
Fraser (fraggle)
You died on 7th March at 2am on Sunday morning. It broke my heart. You were 17 years old, a gorgeous big, active, black cat. Huge green eyes, so independent but loved to be fussed especially from Dad. You lost your sight in November 2002 but you soldiered on for another year and a half. In January 2004, your kidneys started to pack in. We thought that would be the end but you pulled through again. I went over to see you on my birthday and you peacefully died curled up in your bed 3 days later. It was as though you held on to life for my birthday! It was your 18th birthday on 30th July 04.
I hope so much that you can see again and you're fit and active and able to walk. We all miss and love you so much we think about you every day.
Lots Luv Sarah, Charlie, Vicki and Davidxxxxxxxxxx[sm=cat.gif]

Don't forget me and enjoy the sunshine

THE HEART NEEDS NO MARKER
Joshua Jacob Forster (St. Bernard) beloved pet of Maria
This beautiful giant of a dog gave so much pleasure and love that we will forever miss his face.
The other dogs especially Bob have grieved for several weeks at the loss of their friend and playmate.
We have maked his grave with a stone, but the heart needs no marker when such a good friend has left.
Job done Josh, rest easy till we meet again. Love always.
Joshua Jacob Forster 16th September 1997 to July 2004.
RIP
RE: Rainbow Bridge
Just wanted to put a little note on here for Maddy the puppy that was killed this week.
So sorry for your short life in this world and the way you were treated while you were here. I hope your spirit is safe and free and that you know people did try to help you. Although you wont have met them, there are people here that love and care for you and i hope you know and feel that. your story has touched many hearts and i pray that your death will bring about some change for the good.
RIP Maddy

Couldn't have put it any better Xmasfairy.
It was a really kind thing you did for poor MADDY; to write that. I agree with every word.
It's the way forward; to send good thoughts and love.

RE: Rainbow Bridge
Unfortunately, I have to add another name to this list as of Sunday, as one of my 3 guinea pigs (brothers), Basha, died from old-age. 🙁 I hope he's happy..wherever he is..I'm just really upset that he's apart from his brothers, and i'm worried about how they feel without him

RE: Rainbow Bridge
What a lovely idea.
To my little cat Mimi who passed on 24th September 2004 just 4 months old. She brought us such joy and the heartache was immense when she passed due to a terrible accident. We are now starting to remember the happy times again now though. Like to think there is a Rainbow Bridge and she will be there for us.

Rest in peace you beautiful bunny. Was put to sleep because of an incurable spinal disease 🙁

Love Always
