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.

My friend's sweet boy, Diesel, went to the Bridge to be with his friends who went before... Rest in peace, sweet boy.

Trey
I know I don't post here as much as I used to but I thought I should let you all know that today we helped dear old Trey over the bridge. I can't tell you all how much it hurts. We knew it was coming but still, it came rather quickly and unexpectedly. He was a good boy and will be very missed...

Enjoy the swim Beanie
She was a beautiful Golden Retriever. She enjoyed swimming, her ball and long hugs. Taylor(Beanie being her nickname) is my thought of a happy place at the beach enjoying a swim, of course my passed Doberman(Kala aka Moose) that also loved to swim is there swimming as well. Cancer sucks. Please support...

Toby
Toby was my childhood dog. He's 16, and he's going to the Bridge, tomorrow. Good thoughts for Mom, please. He's mostly her dog, and this'll be hard, for her.

Run free, sweet girl
Stopped for an injured, emaciated pittie this morning on my way to work. Dumped. Probably thrown from a vehicle and left to die. Demodectic mange and a possible broken hip. Her stretched out nipples showed she had been bred many times. Took her to my Vet and we sent her to the Bridge. She kissed everyone...

Run free Maggie
Maggie's time is up sooner than I'd hoped. She did okay for a few days, but since Wednesday, she has been refusing food, throwing up, has diarrhea. Yesterday evening she couldn't even hold water down. And I can't let her starve to death. I don't want to put her through any more, so...

Pooh
I can't really tell you how old Pooh was, but he looked like a Hysky/Lab or Shepherd/Lab mix and was about 65-70 pounds. Like a lot of old dogs, he gradually lost the use of his hind legs, then stopped eating, and, sadly, the vet came out to euthanize him at home yesterday. He belonged to a busy...

God speed, Penny (corvus)
Penny passed away peacefully in my arms this morning at the vets after a little walk along the river with her favourite people. My partner was there along with my mum, who cared for Penny when I was unable to have her where I was living. We all shared our grief and then retired to the chocolate cafe...

Goodbye Roscoe. ?-07-4/20/09
I miss you so much. When I rescued you I made a promise to love you and protect you and always keep you safe. Whatever happened to your mind didn't make you a bad dog, I never once thought you were "bad" and I am so sorry we couldn't be together longer. When you became aggressive I...

RIP Axel
I am saddened to say that Axel did not win his battle with the car. As some of you know, he was hit by a truck, broke his jaw and had a concussion. As he came off of steroids it became apparent that he could no longer move his back legs. The cost of his evaluation was going to range $2,000-3,000, which...

Run Free Bubba
10.5 years ago I met Bubba. We had just moved into this house. A new neighbor knew we had one cat & was wondering if we had another kitten that got out & was roaming the neighborhood. No we didn't but I'd go look @ the kitten anyway. Big mistake as anyone knows that kittens & puppies...

Run free Shadow
My best friend's mom had to put her dog down tonight due to hepatitis and pancreatitis. I was there at the vets with them and it was very sad and hard for my friends mom. Shadow was her baby and lived alone with her. Run free Shadow, may you be free from your pain.

NDR -- My Old Man (12 July 1997 - 8 May 2009) [aDork]
We have had the evil Kitty (as he came to be known) since he was 4 weeks old. We adopted him after he'd been brought in that morning found in a field all alone. It's strange to think that he won't be here after almost 12 years. He simply went missing a week ago, and while we continue to search...
