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....

Does that mean there is, conversely, a Doggy Hell for vicious pit bulls that maul kids and pets?

Nope, that's for the people who bred that behavior into them. The Michael Vicks of the world.

The pitbulls are as well-tempered as all the other dogs at the Rainbow Bridge.

Well, that's a given that the owners get some or all Pearly Gates points dinged.

But I'm not talking about well-tempered pit bulls. The problem ain't with them.

I know. What I meant was the ill-tempered overly hostile ones are back to being normal, happy dogs when they die and go to the Rainbow Bridge.

This morning was Guinness' last ride. He was 13 and suffering from many illnesses. We saved him from a basement when he was just over a year old and he has been with us through thick and thin since. My wife and I are unable to have children (although we were never intending to) and he was our only one.

Rest in peace my dear friend.

Saying goodbye sucks.

I've noticed that on here (and I'm sure in most households) a pet is far more than just an animal. A pet is another member of the family, and that makes it even harder to let go.

Yep. I know some folks feel otherwise about "just dogs" but in my case Guinness was as good a human friend as I ever had.

Chris,

Sorry to hear about Guinness. I'm glad I got a chance to meet him. Just remember how lucky he was to have you and your wife during his life............he'll be on the other side of the bridge waiting. Dave

WOW!

That sucks!

Sorry to here about him passing on.

Thanks, guys. A tough weekend. is really in the dumper. I have been through this two other times but it was my parents who had to suffer the most. We really enjoyed one another and our hearts hurt and the house seems empty but like all things, time will heal us.

I honestly mist up every time I read that...

I just hope wherever my boy is there's a bean-bag chair and a landcruiser in pieces

RIP Joey

He will only truely "Die" when his name is no longer spoken and the people who look at his pictures do not know who he is.


Good luck with the tough time you have ahead of you.
