Every now and then, we are given a gift.
A gift that has no price or no real value,
just a gift.
As time goes on that gift becomes more
valuable to only our family.
The gift is unconditional love,
understanding and friendship.
The true value is never known until, it is
gone.
That gift is our pets, that have been
gracious enough to come into our lives
and give us all that they have to give,
they ask for nothing in return.
Once they leave us to return home only then
is their value truly understood.
They leave us with memories and better
people for having them in our lives.
Our pets teach us to be more loving,
understanding and patient with others.
Helping to make this world a better
place.
Once they leave, we have the promise that
we will see them again
when it is our time to return home.
They will be waiting at the door for us,
just as they did while they were on Earth.
What we need to do is try to remember the
lessons
that only pets can teach and that will be our permanent
tribute to them
****love each other,
be tolerant
and accept each being for what
they are.

| 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 who had been
ill and old are restored to health and vigor. 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....
