Past Foals

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 remembered
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..............
