We Will Always Remember: Our Beardies
at the Rainbow Bridge
|
"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." — Will Rogers
It's a comfort to us dog lovers to be able to visualize an afterlife for our beloved dogs, and the idea of their crossing a Rainbow Bridge helps just a little, as we can imagine them reuniting with other dogs, people, and animals who have already gone before them. None of us is going to know whether this place (or any others) actually exist until it's our turn to go... but at least in the meantime, we can be comforted. Duncan adored Cadence, and I like to think that the two of them are sharing chewies with Buster and Duke, my brother's Boxers. As for Doogie, it wouldn't be heaven for him without trashcans to knock over, counters to surf, and frogs to hunt.
The BCCC has a nicely formatted copy of the original Rainbow Bridge piece on their Web site.
