THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colours. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge is a land filled with meadows, valleys and hills, and all of it covered with a lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this lovely land. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. There, the old and frail animals are young again. Those that are maimed are made whole once more. They play all day with each other content and comfortable. There is only one thing missing. They are not with the special persom who loved them on Earth. And so they run and play all day until the day when one of them stops playing  and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! You have been seen and that one suddenly runs from the group. You take him in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the loving eyes of your trusted friend. Then, together, you cross the Rainbow Bridge, never again to be separated.
