The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies, one who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends where 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 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 who was very special to them, someone they had to leave behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The eyes are bright and intent, the eager little body begins to quiver all over! Suddenly that lucky one breaks away from the group, and flies over the green grass, little 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. Happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands once again caress that 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 the Rainbow Bridge together. . . .

Mokey ~~~Summer '86 - January '91~~~ Though she started out as a mean cat, Mokey had calmed her ways near the end of her life. She had chosen us out for her, thus making us cat people. She chose our house to give birth to Ralph, and continued to stick around when he was given to us. Though she had been through some abuse with the previous owners, she knew we meant her well. She has and will be missed, but I am grateful she came into our lives when she did. |

Cleo ~~~March '94 - Thanksgiving '96~~~ Though only 2 ½ years old, Cleo had touched our lives in many ways. She was "new" and extremely active, and we welcomed this kitten. She was friendly and loving one minute, then turned on you the next (if you rubbed her the wrong way). She was very curious, so much that it ended her short precious life. She had left scars with us (literally), and we will always remember her. |

Frisbee ~~~September '97 - January 15, 1999~~~ Probably the most heartbreaking story for me is Frisbee's. I had only had him for 10 months, and he was only 1 year 4 months old. He was my first kitty all on my own. I tried to give him my all, but sometimes it's not good enough. He was a great companion, I'll always remember him. I didn't want to see him go, but keeping him around would just be cruel. |
