Pets SPCA House: Rainbow Bridge

(See below this article for Pet Memorial and pictures of my mice. You may print out this article if you want.) Cat on grass

There is a bridge connecting heaven and Earth.

It is called Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge is a land of meadows, hills, valleys, all of it covered with lush and green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this lovely land. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. There, the old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole once more. They play all day with each other, content and comfortable.

There is only one thing missing. They are not with the special person who loved them on Earth. So each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! Then, the nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! You have been seen, and that one suddenly runs from the group!

You take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then, together, you cross the Rainbow Bridge, never again to be separated.

In memory of my mice, namely, Nerissa-mouse, Jeff-Alfie, Spotty Jennifer-Tom and Chris. The whereabouts of all their parents and sisters are unknown. Notice that most names here are separated by a dash (-). That is because they are named after their parents. Nerissa-mouse's husband is called Jeff. Nerissa-mouse's grandchildren are Jeff-Alfie, Spotty Jennifer-Tom and Chris. Although my mice are no longer present on Earth, memories of them are still fresh in my mind. I will remember you always, my dear mice. My happy days were spent when you all were around.
