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..............
RE: Rainbow Bridge
My angel Willow died a year ago today.
It hit me really hard this morning, something I wasn't expecting.
Eliza sat on my lap all morning hugging me, which made me cry even more because if Willow hadn't died we wouldn't have brought Eliza and Laurence into our lives. I felt guilty for missing Wills so much, although I do still, sometimes feel her around me and know in my heart she is happy for our little family.
Sending love and light out to all who have lost loved animals. It aches so much at times, I know, but they will always be with us, the bond of love is never broken, even when they cross the rainbow bridge.
Lots of love,
Nicky

To my beautiful tabby Surpy-Willem, died September 2000 aged 21 years. I think of you every day, I miss you more every day. Thank you for all the years of happiness and comfort.
RE: Rainbow Bridge
In memory of dear Harry, a beautiful, loving tabby cat who died on Thursday, 4th January very unexpectedly, aged only 8 years. No reason can be found for his death except that his heart just stopped beating. Reunited with all the other angels.
RE: Rainbow Bridge
Dear Angelwitch, I have only just seen this. I'm so sorry, what a horrible shock for you. I know you were worried about one of your older cats recently but this has come out of the blue.
Sending you both loving healing Reiki energy.
Love and light

RE: Rainbow Bridge
doogle - this thread has brought me to tears.....
my condolences go to all who have lost pets - as they are like our children arnt they?
my AdaBelle - she was 4 weeks old when i got her and the runt of thelitter- i was only home for a month (stationed in iraq and it was a gift from my mom and dad) and they kept her while i was gone....she was my baby....slept in my shirt (even with me still in them!) and loved to nap on the nape of my dads neck or on shoulders....she cryed the first night - and i couldnt find it in my heart to leave her alone....she slept with me that night - and every night i was home....her big brother Little Man watched over her - and took care for her....
she wasnt taken from me - my parents had to leave her in florida when they moved back to tennessee, but she has a sister (the lady that took her had another chiwawa)
my thoughts are always with her - she was my baby.....

RE: Rainbow Bridge
Sincere condolences to all of you who have lost a beloved pet.
To our wonderful collie Angus who after many years of epilepsy collapsed and died suddenly of a heart attack in 2002. A very gentle soul and sadly missed. Also to Fez, our black and white cat - died suddenly from kidney failure. And to Louis, our six month old Springer spaniel - knocked over by a van - all reunited.
They touch our lives in an unbelievably profound way - never questioning, always trusting, always faithful.
RE: Rainbow Bridge
I am writing this on behalf of my friend who is not yet a member but will be shortly....
"My beautiful cat Quincy, who I had only the pleasure of being owned by for 5 months, has sadly left me for Rainbow Bridge. We will never know how old he was or what he died from but he brought much happiness in such a short time to all who knew him.
Dear Quincy, I hope you enjoyed our company as much as we enjoyed yours. An angel has returned to heaven". Angela

In memory of our lovely cat LILY who left with the Angels on 14th June 2007 aged 13.
Lily was a pretty, loving and very humourous cat, whose affection and character is hugely missed by myself, my husband and her best friend of 13 years Kat.
R.I.P Little Lily, we love you.[sm=love-smiley-009.gif].

My beautiful little girl Willemena, an angel cat, died in her sleep yesterday. She was about 13 years old.
My dear Willy, when I couldn't wake you it was my worst nightmare come true. I can't believe I will never look into those lovely soulful eyes again.
I love you and miss you so much and that will never change. xxx
My lovely boy, Oliver the ginger and white cat passed away yesterday. He was 15 and within a matter of 24 hours he could not use his legs and went downhill quick. I am glad he is no longer suffering but i miss him so much. Oliver enjoy chasing bumble bees in the sky 🙂 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
shadow
My cat shadow passed away 2 days ago, he had liver cancer and he hung on for 2 months, he fought as hard as he could but he could hang on no more.
I love you shadow, always.
For brandy, my dog who passed away recently, love you and see you again soon, your only ever a thought away xx
In loving memory of Hunter our beautiful Beagle that my son and I loved so very much. It still pains me to see your pictures because I miss those hugs and kisses so much. I just want to reach in and hold you.
In loving memory of our Gator, our Boston Terrier. A much newer member of the family and oh so missed. We had 5 years together and they will always be precious to us. Our bedroom door is always open for your little spirit to wander in with your foot steps on our bed. We know you have been there. We love you.
I had to come back with just one more. My Dad had a small tan little mix breed that gave our family years of joy. He died at 13 from natural causes and he left such an empty feeling in the home after he was gone, but it was at least a year before my Dad gave in to get another dog. Cocoa was one of a kind and he gave a lot of his time listening to my problems and watching over my baby. I love you Cocoa, and I will never forget you. This is in Memory of Our CoCoa.
Didnt know this existed - what a lovely idea! I would like to add our cat Boston who passed away 3 years ago at the age of 23. We still miss her, how can you forget a family member of 22 years standing? Just last year we 'acquired' two new kittens - Mango and Chutney. We are convinced that Boston talks to them!
Sentimentaly yours!
In Loving memory of Ernie our little dog who sadly passed away today who joins his friends over the rainbow bridge. We will miss our little friend very much bless your Ernie and thank you for your love and companionship.
For Eric
So sad to have to post this next to Ernie's post but sadly my beloved Eric Ernie's brother passed away in my arms tonight. A much loved companion, best friend and protector. There will never be another doggy like Eric may he rest in doggy heaven running happily with Ernie. Love you so much life will not be the same without you my most cherished and faithful friend.
