A few days after I had my cat Smokey put to sleep, the Vet Hospital sent a card and a printing of "The Rainbow Bridge". To this day I can't read it without choking up and even as I type it here a tear is rolling down my cheek. I know it's very much a fairy tale but deep down in my heart I want to believe it.


THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

Just this side of heaven lies the Rainbow Bridge.

When a beloved pet dies, it goes to the Rainbow Bridge.
It makes friends with other animals and frolics over rolling
hills and peaceful lush meadows of green. They are as
healthy and playful as we remember them in days gone by.

Together, the animals chase and play, but the day comes
when a pet will suddenly stop and look into the distance...
bright eyes intent, eager body quivering. Suddenly
recognizing you, your pet bounds quickly across the green
fields and into your embrace. You celebrate in joyous
reunion. You will never again separate.

Happy tears and kisses are warm and plentiful,
your hands caress the face you missed. You look into
the loving eyes of your pet and know that you never
really parted. You realize that though out of sight,
your love had been remembered.

You cross the Rainbow Bridge together.

I volunteer at our local animal care and rescue place and can tell you more pets are put to sleep or die alone, starved, or in pain every year than all the people killed in all the death camps during WW 2.

Just be glad that you were there for them in the end and they had food, water, a place to call home and most of all love.....we do what we can but it is never enough which is why I volunteer there and take care of my two cats I have at home. What they do for me and my life can't be put into words.
