OK. I'm missing Lucy and crying all over again. These are beautiful.

I'm very familar with the Rainbow bridge poem but these other ones are just as beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I'm so glad there are so many of us that feel the same way about our furry companions. The world can be a cold place sometimes but I find it very sunny and warm right now because of postings like this.

I believe we will once again be with our beloved pets. I do not see God allowing us such a companion on earth and not allowing us to spend eternity together. I know there will be animals in heaven as the bible says 'the lion will lay down with the lamb'. I beleive the best part will be we will be able to carry a conversation with them. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were able to talk to all the animals.

You can read the book "Cold noses at the pearly gates"

Thank you, Jeannie, for the words (I think I am responding to above). I just had to put down my newf-lab mix GORGEOUS boy two days ago. Am devastated beyond belief. I have a faith in Christ and eternity. Sometimes it is weak and I question if it isn't just wishfulness on our parts....but I do believe we were created by a loving God....a God that knows our hearts....created our pets and knows the special bond we share with them. I believe He loves them more than we do and that we will be reunited again. My vet, that came out to euthanize my very sick boy, said she almost always sees the dog looking up with his last breath, as if he is seeing or being welcomed to Heaven by someone he knows or someone who went before him. I choose to believe we will be together again. In the meantime, I'm looking for a newf-mix puppy.
Godspeed.
Melissa

Having lost two this year, I sort of avoided coming here until now. Now I am crying and missing my two girls, missing all my girls. But, I am also happy because I firmly believe I will see them again, and I know Scarlett is especially waiting for her Daddy who rescued her after she had suffered horribly.

I haven't posted in over a year as my life has been in an endurance test for the past 3 years. I too have faith in Christ and have experienced his tender mercies and glorious workings over these last 3 years. Reading these poems are very comforting especially since I just had to euthanize Jordan Thursday. My post is in the rainbow bridge.

Just saw this on a rescue group Facebook. I wonder if this is a picture of the "Bridge".

I understand that the Pope now says that there would be pets in heaven. Glad the church is finally coming around to my way of thinking, because I have a large contingency waiting for me across that bridge - now Moonlight is there, too.
