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. 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 he begins to break away 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.

A JOY TO LOVE
by M. Hoffman

Black as night and kind of heart
She etched a place in our hearts from the very start
- A Joy to Love

Willling to love and eager to please
She took things in stride with pride and with ease
-A Joy to Love

A grace in her gaits and a trust that is rare
She was with us so briefly, too little time to share
-A Joy to Love

Gentle and Sweet, with a warmth in her soul
She left us a legacy in her last foal
- A Joy to Love

Black like her mom, a gift we call Bliss
She looks in our eyes and her mom we all miss
--A Joy we all loved

In memory of Flip For Joy
