Liz Wolf's Den - Rainbow Bridge

A Dog's Fairwell

Please do not worry about me. I am fine.

Do you remember the day I came to your home? I sniffed everything... everything was new.

I did not know you, I did not know what to expect. But over time, I gave you my heart, and my shoulder, and my antics as a thank you for all you have done for me.

You fed me, you hugged me, you worried about me. You laughed at me, you laughed with me. You gave me your smile that I so treasured. And most of all, you accepted me just the way I was.

I know you are in pain right now, and you miss me.

But I want you to know, that just like that first day I came to you, I am again on my way to a new place.

A place that is just as safe as your home was, a place where I will find nothing but love and caring, just like with you.

The road to this place is lined with rose petals which never wilt, and the air smells like birds and squirrels and fresh grass. The land abounds with flowers and fresh babbling brooks that I can splash in. It never gets too hot or too cold, and I will never again be sick or sad.

From now on, no matter where you go, I can always be with you. My spirit knows no crates and walls. It can roam freely and accompany you where ever you go.

And one day we will be together again. I will watch that rose petal covered road, and when I see you on it, I will wag my tail and come running towards you with that big grin, and all will be fine.

It will be "us" again ... you and me. Til then, my friend, don't cry, just wait.

RAINBOW BRIDGE
(Click on the title to go to Rainbow Bridge.com)

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 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....
