| An Interesting Day At The Rainbow Bridge An interesting day at the Rainbow Bridge. Rainbow Bridge is a place of both peace and anticipation as departed pets await their beloved owners. There are plenty of things to keep them contented while they wait: trees you can't get stuck in, endless meadows, splashing streams, thickets perfect to hide in for pounce-attack games. But one day the residents noticed some rather... unusual newcomers arrive. The koalas and the kangaroos slipped in rather quietly, but then came the bearded dragons, the skinks and the goannas. The influx of snakes startled an entire family of cats up a tree. Pythons, cobras, tiger snakes, brown snakes and even fierce snakes. There were so many at one point, it seemed the ground itself was alive with writhing. A burly wombat shouldered his way through the crowd and plopped down in a shady spot, barely missing a Jack Russell terrier who yapped indignantly as he abandoned his position. And then the crocodiles showed up. Finally, a Great Dane managed to get up enough nerve to approach one of the reptilian giants. "Um....excuse me," he said hesitantly. "But why are you all here?" The croc dropped her jaw and laughed. "Same as you, mate," she said. "Waitin' for someone who loved us." The dogs, cats, gerbils and other "typical pets" looked at each other in confusion, then at the plethora of weird, ugly and downright deadly creatures assembled. Who on Earth could possibly love some of those faces? "I see him!" shouted a green mamba from his vantage point in one of the trees. A cacophony of squeaks, hisses, bellows and roars erupted as the mob surged forward toward a lone human walking across the field toward the bridge. The other animals managed to catch a glimpse of him before he was overwhelmed by the crowd. "CRIKEY!" he shouted joyously right before he was bowled over by the wombat. "Well I'll be," said a Persian as she tidied up her fur. "It's that Aussie my human liked to watch on TV. Had to be the craziest human on the whole planet." by Epona (Epi) Harper

| Thank you so much for that. It's been hard for some of us. I know that he was a TV celeb, but he has touched my families heart. My daughter was devastated. We've watched him for years. He was such a good man with his life dedicated to conservation. "Humans will save what they love" he always said. He got us to love all of those animals. He died doing what he loved. |

| That was great and much needed by many of us. I have watched Steve Irwin on the WIggles with my grands and just watched him because I liked his enthusiasum and joy on the animal planet. He loved his family and all animals. He will be missed! |

| Thank you for the story. I hesitate to read "Rainbow Bridge" stories. The pain of losing Izzabella is still way too fresh. You brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes, which are now running down my cheeks and wetting my smile. Have a great day, Mate! |
