This is so beautiful.... I was on a local website researching dog parks in my city, when I hopped over to the rainbow bridge page and saw this...my eyes are still teary and I gave Tia a big hug and kiss.... WELCOME AT RAINBOW BRIDGE by AlexanderTheodore, Bouvier, Fourth Year Resident On the morning of September 11, 2001, there was an unprecedented amount of activity at the Rainbow Bridge. Decisions had to be made. They had to be made quickly. And, they were. An issue, not often addressed here, is the fact that many residents really have no loved one for whom to wait. Think of the pups who lived and died in hideous puppy mills. No one on earth loved or protected them. What about the many who spent unhappy lives tied in backyards? And, the ones who were abused. Who are they to wait for? We don't talk about that much up here. We share our loved ones as they arrive, happy to do so. But we all know there is nothing like having your very own person who thinks you are the most special pup in the Heavens. Last Tuesday morning a request rang out for pups not waiting for specific persons to volunteer for special assignment... An eager, curious crowd surged excitedly forward, each pup wondering what the assignment would be. They were told by a solemn voice that unexpectedly, all at once, over 6,000 loving people had left Earth long before they were ready. All the pups, as all pups do, felt the humans' pain deep in their own hearts. Without hearing more, there was a clamoring among them - "May I have one to comfort?" "I'll take two, I have a big heart." "I have been saving kisses forever." One after another they came forward begging for assignment. One cozy-looking fluffy pup hesitantly asked, "Are there any children coming? I would be very comforting for a child 'cause I'm soft and squishy and I always wanted to be hugged." A group of Dalmatians came forward asking to meet the Firemen and be their friends. The larger working breeds offered to greet the Police Officers and make them feel at home. Little dogs volunteered to do what they do best, cuddle and kiss. Dogs who on Earth had never had a kind word or a pat on the head, stepped forward and said, "I will love any human who needs love." Then all the dogs, wherever on Earth they originally came from, rushed to the Rainbow Bridge and stood waiting, overflowing with love to share - each tail wagging an American Flag. |
i'm all teary too -- beautiful |
awwww :animal-pa |
There go the tears, again.;) That's truely beautiful - I've always felt so bad for all the pets that have nobody to love them, but now I feel much better about it. Thankyou for sharing that. |
:cry: That is lovely, truly. Thanks for sharing it:love: |
That made me cry. I'll never forget my first dog Desaray passing on, and going to the priest to see if she'd be waiting for me when I got their. He said when you get to heaven God gives you everything that will make you happy, and if she would make you happy she'll be the first one to greet you. How sad it is to know that some dogs were never loved. |

Rainbow Bridge When we got Buster's ashes back we also go the Rainbow Bridge card from the company who cremated him. My friend has received that card a couple of times when her dogs ashes came home. |
I love it and have sent it on to one of my close friends who just lost a furbaby. She was devastated, and I hope this helps her. |
This was so wonderful, thank you for posting it...do you mind if I copy it and post it on some Biewer Forums I belong to. I'm sure it would bless the hearts of many who also understand the true nature of our best friends.. Diana |
