Dear Dancer...

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.

    Dear Dancer...

     Hello, sweetheart.  It's mom.  I have just a small favor to ask of you today.  Please go reeeeally wag your tail and give your doggy daddy the biggest kiss for me.  It's Valentine's Day - you know, the day I used to tell you "leave it" when the big heart full of candy or the chocolate bunny arrived.  Tell daddy that I miss him more than anything.  And, please, Miss Dance, welcome Cassie the GSD, who you never met while here, but who was your Auntie Carol's sweet faithful girl, newly arrived at the Bridge.  Talking to you here, I can almost smell your sweet fur, and feel your breath on my cheek...I want to tell you that I miss you, too, my little Valentine dog, and always will.  You will always be my heart dog, and he will always be my heart.  Have a good Valentine's Day together in the spirit land.  When I get there, I'll let you eat a chocolate bunny if you want to, since no more harm can come to you there.  I still love you,

    Mom

    Yes, me too and I'm sure that Mike and Dancer are both smiling down on you today.

    Anne - I only just realized from this beautiful valentine that Mike had left this earthly existence and I'm so sorry I did not express my sorrow and sympathy sooner.  I know Dancer will deliver your special valentine's greeting to him.  And she should also know the sweet, gentle yellow lab mix who has been hovering nearby hoping to get noticed and give Mike some sugar is our Jess - gone 5 years just a few weeks ago.  And the gorgeous grey cats, the little female with gold eyes and big sleek boy with startling green eyes are Franklin and Iggy and they would love to offer Mike some comfort, too.

    Amen.
