In memory of our Fur babies that have gone to Rainbow Bridge.
Millie who sadly passed away in the vets.
After being attacked by a neighbours dog.

Oscar who we had to PTS. After battling with FeLV.
You could just see it in his eyes, that he didn't want to go on.

Gone but not forgotten.
We will meet up again one day.
Rainbow
Bridge
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, someone who was 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks
from the group, flying over the green grass, 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
those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your
heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge
together...

Special
Gift
You're giving me
a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few
cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is
knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly
acts
Will only be in vain.
So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond,
into your soul,
I see in you the magic, that will
Once more make me
whole.
The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you
today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only
way.
That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my
friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner 'til the
end.
Please, understand just what this gift,
You're giving, means to
me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my
dignity.
You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends
do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too.
So
one last time, I breathe your scent,
And through your hand I feel,
The
courage that's within you,
To now grant me this appeal.
Cut the leash
that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and
steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.
And don't despair my
passing,
For I won't be far away,
Forever here, within your heart,
And
memory I'll stay.
I'll be there watching over you,
Your ever faithful
friend,
And in your memories I'll run,
...a young dog once
again.
(anon)
MAY I GO
NOW?
May I go
now? Do you
think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and
endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example
tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit
free?
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my
might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving
light.
I want to go
I really do.
It's difficult to
stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more
day.
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and
fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your
tears.
I'll not be far,
I promise that, and hope you'll always
know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
Thank
you so for loving me.
You know I love you too,
that's why it's hard to
say goodbye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one
more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for
me,
you'll let me go today.

There is a
place .....
There is a place that some
of us know
Where our dear departed pets all go
Where the sun always shines
and butterflies wing
their way across fields where bluebirds sing
Where toy mice are scuttling
and Frisbees do soar
There's tug toys and tennis balls and chew bones
galore
With fields full of bluebells and a cool rippling stream
Where
angels bring titbits and bowls full of cream
So try not to worry and try
not to grieve
The love in their hearts will never leave
They'll happily
play there and patiently wait
'Til you go to fetch them at heavens
gate
