Rainbow Bridge

[Doogle]

My friends and I have a Rainbow Bridge book that we put pictures in of animals that have crossed over and I find it a great comfort. If no-one minds I would like to start a Rainbow Bridge thread on here so we can all remember our beloved pets.

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 have been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; and 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 who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent; her eager body begins to quiver. Suddently she breaks from the group, flying over the green grass 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 caress her beloved head and you look one more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together..............

Wow Doogle, them's powerful words and they've brought tears to my eyes.

I send all my love to my beloved dog, Bagley - I miss you sooooooo much Baggie, I'll never stop hurting about the way you were taken from me so early.

And also to April - you beautiful girl - we still miss you're 'talking'. Sometimes I see you flitting about the house. Visit whenever you want to, and bring Baggie with you.

Do you all think that our beloved pets go to heaven ? I was told by a Jehovah witness that as much as we want to think that they do they dont that pets have no souls and there fore do not go to heaven ...I disagree how about you?

Hello befine, Im afraid I have to disagree with that belief about animal having no soul.They our welcome to the heavens as well as humans,and their little spirits come back to see us from time to time, and when we pass over they will be waiting to greet us, if we so choose.
Ive seen the spirit of my dog, that passed many a time, I just send vibrations of love to him.
love and blessings

Anyone who has ever looked into the eyes of one of those beloved friends knows the answer to this one. If animals have no soul, then neither do I. Everything on this Earth has a soul, and Christ Spark whether it be animal, human, vegetable or mineral. It cannot be any other way if you look at it logically, for if it was all created from God, then it must all carry his essence.

They sure do have souls, don't they? I'm adding my lovely furry friends Millie (passed away in May) and Gemma (my partner's mum's collie, passed away in the wee small hours of this morning). God bless all the animals who enrich our lives.

We lost our bullmastiff Coco in July this year. I mentioned it on here some time ago but recently posted "Buddy" our new 5 year old bullmastiff. Here's for Coco's memory, this is poem I wrote at the time. The links at the bottom, you'll see a picture of her.

FOR COCO [sm=mecry.gif][sm=FIFangel.gif]

Our loyal friend whose now departed
And left us all so broken-hearted
Gone to a place far up above
Blessed with our eternal love

Our faithful friend who gave so much
Who always looked so big and butch
Not many people dare cross her path
Woe betide they caught her wrath

Very strong in body and mind
Such a big dog that took her time
In moving ‘bout from place to place
Life was certainly not a race

No more barking at those outside
Standing bold and full of pride
Especially at the noisy bin men
And anyone else who came within them

Bullmastiffs are a kind of breed
That guard and protect, yes indeed
But underneath that huge physique
A gentle touch, so mild and meek

Big sad eyes that said it all
Except for when given a ball!
How she loved to play and roam
And slobber all around the home!

In our hearts and in our minds
That’s where she’ll always be
No wagging tail or lolling tongue
Just pictures and our memories

So here we say our final parting
With our most loyal friend who’s sadly departed

I printed off the rainbow bridge poem it is so moving. I have 2 elderly dogs and three old cats. They are my great freinds and have seen me through some very tough times. I have been at the edge of despair and I have looked into my dogs eyes to see deep pools of compasion and care and been cuddles from both cats and dogs as if to say it is ok. When it is thier time to leave me I know it will be very hard and the poem just says so much.

My husband who had to accept all my brood when he met me realised that animals are a part of my life and this year aquired a puppy to give continuation he is learning all the good and bad of my tow faithful freinds.

Yes animals have souls and I often see animal spirits I find it very conforting.
