Till We Meet Again, Baby Chestnut

Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge is the theme of a work of poetic prose written some time between 1980 and 1992, whose original creator is unknown. The theme is of an other-worldly place to which a pet goes upon its death, eventually to be reunited with its owner.

    Till We Meet Again, Baby Chestnut

     My Baby Chestnut is gone to Rainbow Bridge.  He went Tuesday afternoon.   He was one very sick little kitty at the end.

    Dear Sunny Boy, I am so sorry the end was so hard. I feel I let you down; I tried so hard to set you free, and it seemed I hit obstacles everywhere I turned. But I got you free, in the end. I know Vita will be there to meet you, and give your ears the "lick, lick, lick, NIP!" she always did to you, lol. Always the same, 3 licks and then the little nip. And Amber will be happy to see you so you 2 orangies can snuggle together, again.

    Sparkle will miss you here, you were HER cat, after all, not mine. Whisper to her, now and again. I have a sneaking suspicion she will be joining you before too long.

    You were such a good boy, always willing to do whatever I asked: "get down," or "come here." Of course, with plenty of back talk, if it was not what you wanted to do, ha haa! I am going to miss your constant chatter and back talk, along with that flicking tail. Love you always, my little boy.

     

     
    Chestnut grew to be a BIG boy, but he was always "Baby Chestnut" to me. His baby photos are in this thread:

    {{Hugs}}}  My goodness the losses you have had so recent and close together.    Having a house full of beloved and long lived pets is such a gift but this I know has been a month of sadness for you and your pack.

     Yes, it has been tough, and exhausting, to say the least.  Paws crossed, NO ONE is leaving me for awhile -- except to go potty, lol.

    Oh Sandie - I'm sorry you've been faced with another loss so soon.  What a sad time for you.  I hope it brings some comfort to imagine Baby Chestnut joining familiar faces at the Bridge.  Take care.
