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.

Our little princess died today... 9 years old.
I always knew the day would come that this would happen, but I always put it in the back of my mind. Our beloved 9 year old beagle (who was like a child to us) passed away this morning, with complications of diabetes.
