Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow
Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close
to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they
can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are
warm and comfortable.
All the animals that had been ill and old are
restored to health and vigour; those who were hurt or maimed are
made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams
of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing;
they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left
behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes
when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright
eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to
run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying
him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special
friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never
to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your
hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into
the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but
never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

We now have two of our babies waiting at the rainbow
bridge, Hooch and now Rusti, both we have loved and lost but in
the fullness of time we will see you again.
