The 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
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.

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....

What an interesting place to visit. I don't know of any pet cemetaries around here. The fire hydrant is so cute.
I can never read The Rainbow Bridge without getting tears.
SVB...I think pet cemeteries are few and far between. I am so glad I stumbled upon this unique piece of history.
I know what you mean about the Rainbow Bridge.
Oh my gosh, Lilla... I could cry buckets over every single one of your photos. The depth of love in this little patch of land you found is infinite. Beautiful sentiments, sweet words, touching monuments...is that a lifesize cement statue of a dog on that one grave?
What an amazing place. ((sniff.))
Danni...yes, that was a life-sized statue of a Sharpei, bearing the dog's collars and tags. The whole experience was pretty amazing.
Tears in my eyes. I love the Rainbow Bridge... I don't know what I'd do without it.
