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.

One year ago...
ONe year ago, your family arrived in Monterey Bay, without you. May 3 you left us, of heart failure. ANd I still miss you! Seeing another minpin sends me into fits of Gobie-storytelling, and you still make us laugh even though you are not here. Be assured you are still in our hearts! Echo has stepped...

Two years ago today.
Two years ago today Roscoe went to the rainbow bridge. I miss him so much. He was my heart dog. It's hard to believe he's been gone two full years now. Some days it feels like a lifetime, some days it feels like no time at all. I'm really glad to have my sweet T-Bone and Royce to help me...

RIP Chloe and husky dog. **GRAPHIC**
I talked to my mom on the phone tonight and she was horribly upset. She lives in a rural area and keeps goats and chickens. She heard a goat screaming out and went to her enclosure and two huskies were ripping Chloe to shreds. They were literally EATING her ALIVE. My mom started screaming and one of...

goodbye annabelle and domino
They were baby goats born on monday. Our 4h leader is in boston with her daughter(she is in the hospital) so she had multiple people in and out of her house to take care of her animals. Someone let both of her dogs in without closing one in the other room and they killed the two baby goats. I am so sad...

Each day is irreplacable
Allow me to be maudlin, sentimental, humor me and allow me the gift of giving unto others in their time of need. And no one needs to respond to this. But this is for all of us who have lost a loved one, be that human or otherwise. In fact, doesn't it seem that our pets act with more dignity than...

Run free Thor
I'm in shock. Thor was FINE yesterday, and then last night acted like he didn't have any strength in his back end. He ate, he drank, just seemed weak. This morning he was a bit worse. While I took DH to work, he passed away. Run free you big beautiful boy. Thank you for all the lessons that...

Lance
My best friend's dog, an East German Shepherd, Lance, was humanely put down last week. He was one of those "once in a lifetime" heart dogs. He was the most even tempered, sweet, smart boy, and we will all miss him terribly. Even Sequoyah liked him and she is picky (although she does have...

The lessons about life I learned from Gadsby...
Since Gadsby's death, I have had time to sit and reflect how his life with me has forever profoundly changed my life. I observed two important life lessons from watching him slowly fade away, and one of them is, to live in the moment. Always just be present in the moment. He never worried about the...

Sad day - Bonnie Blue
It is with a broken heart I must tell you that I had Bonnie Blue put to sleep this afternoon. Her suffering was just too much to bear anymore. She went very peacefully and quietly. She is at the Rainbow Bridge now. Such a short life for such a dear little puppy.

Gadsby the Shih-Tzu...What I Learned From My Dog (My story)
My Gadsby was 14.5 years old, he died in my arms on Saturday around 1:00 p.m. He lived simply to please and love me all those years. As I never had children, my husband and I treated him like a human child, so he didn't really know he was a dog. He had been sick for the last two, and hung on solely...

Dazzle
My colleague and friend, Dee Ganley, has lost her beloved Australian Shepherd, Dazzle, to cancer. Miss Dazzle outlived her prognosis, probably to stay as long as she could with her most fascinating and loving human, who gave her a life that most dogs only dream of. It was Sioux's distinct honor to...

RIP little Boots
I checked in on the status of Royce's siblings. Looks like seven of the eight made it out... But his sister Boots did not. Oh she was a sweet little thing. I wish you could have found a home too.
