The 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....

Re: all this way and.....
We should have been taking our 3 babes over with us next month but yesterday my middle boy was killed by a car. I got a call from our vet who had scanned him. Another heartbroken owner had taken him to vets thinking he was hers.
We are devastated, heartbroken whatever. My heart is aching for my little mate.
We were advised not to collect him as it would have been upsetting to see him but now I wish I had just to make it final and not just hope he has gone on a long walk. We need to collect his ashes tomorrow and I think we will still take him with us.
I really feel your losses

Re: all this way and.....
well we are here in Kingston Ontario, and working hard, loving every min, then life throws something at you that catches you so unprepared.
We came over in August last year with our beloved cat Missy, he was a real gentleman, no scratching, quiet, loving the new country we had brought him to, then we noticed a change. He became ill, and before we realised, it was too late. we found out on the thursday and had to say goodbye on the saturday, the vet said there was nothing we could do, god it was the hardest thing ive had to do.
He did so well on the hurrendous journey we had on the flight over here.
he was my brave little soldier, i shall really miss him, and he was only 4.
the canadian vets where very good and sympathetic, the bills where expensive, but needs must.
Not many cats can say that they where taken in as a stray and travelled over the atlantic to their new life, even though it was only for a short time

Thanks for the replies. He was beautiful and so vocal. Now it is sooo quiet.
Thinking of you Walker. A friend of mine said that pet bereavement is every bit as hard as a relative or friend and yeah she is right.

I thought our 3rd cat (the donor) my have packed his bags & left after this happening
pleased to say he's happy & well.It's so sad when we loose our pets but look back at the happy times & that while he was with you, you gave him a happy, loving & caring home.
Thinking of you
