Bethany Aleshire - I’m SO sorry Laura for your loss. My heart goes out to you! I had to give up my own dog in December and it was one of the hardest I’ve ever done. Now I’d wish I’d treasure the kisses, laughs, and snuggles I had with her more, too. xoxo

Helgi - The Rainbow Bridge

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stand still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the ranbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are they are whole, their lives filled
with gladness. There limbs are restored, their health
renewed, their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even
care, until one day they start, and sniff the air. All ears
prick forward, eyes dart front and back, then all of the
sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, there eyes have met; Together
again, both person and pet. So they run to each other,
these friends from long past, there time of there parting
is over at last.

The sadness they felt whilethey were apart, has urned into
joy once more in each heart. They enbrace with the love
that will last forever, and then side-by-side they cross over
together.
