Excessa

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 and 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 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. The bright

eyes are intent; the eager body quivers.

Suddenly she begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, her

legs carrying her 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.
