[KNAPPY]

As a veterinarian I have to deal with sick and dying animals way too often. I had to put my golden retreiver to sleep last year, it was one of the worst days of my life. One of my clients brought me this poem and now I send it all of my clients that have lost one of thier pets:
There is a rainbow bridge connecting heaven and earth. It is called " The Rainbow Bridge" because of its many colors. Just this side of The Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water, and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.
There is only one thing missing. They are not with thier special person who loved them on Earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when suddenly one stops playing and looks up! The nose twiches...the ears are up... the eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group!
You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
Then you cross The Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated!

Sorry for your loss.
