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 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....

I can't read this poem without crying. It is so beautiful! Make sure you have your tissues with you. I made the mistake of reading this at work, and had to go into the bathroom to compose myself because I was crying so much.

No problem. Hope I didn't make you cry too much. That poem always chokes me up!

My bunny went to heaven a few years ago. She was less than 6 months. I guess FloJo can get it on with Lilith in bunny heaven.

Your bunny was so young! What happened?

that's ok - nothing like a good cry... i'll admit, it got to me.

Damn cat.

It's hard not to cry when reading that, especially animal lovers like us.

GaryTheNoTrashCougar said:

A cat got him? So sorry to hear that.

psychodelicide said:

Yes a cat got her. Took it into the neighbours garden. The hardest thing was collecting what was left of her. But she had a decent burial

GaryTheNoTrashCougar said:

How awful!!!

psychodelicide said:

Well at least she has a sugar daddy in heaven now

As I'm reading this, my kitty cat, Iggy, is sitting in my lap and laying his head on my arm. (and of course I hugged him )

IB!

I am sure Bunny Boy is in Bunny Heaven
