When I mentioned in last week's blog that our little Maggie had gone to Rainbow Bridge, I had several people, asking me what exactly is this Rainbow Bridge that people keep talking and writing about. For those of you who don't know, this prose should explain what it is.
Rainbow
Bridge
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. They have minders to care for their every need.
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 vigour; 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/her bright eyes are intent; His/her eager body quivers. Suddenly he/she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his/her legs carrying them 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....

Brings tears to the eyes but also a great comfort to anyone who has lost a much loved pet. Many people like to have a lasting memento made from their pet's ashes. The following sites offer some interesting options. I rather like the idea of a pretty glass paper weight made from Maggie's ashes.

Now onto something a little more cheery. Here is a clip of a wonderful trainer with some very happy pets. (Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to embed on this page so to watch it, you will have to copy it into your browser).

Until the next blog ........ take a bracing walk in the park with your best friend. Oh! and I hope you remembered to put your clocks forward?
