The Rainbow Bridge...

Author Unknown.

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, 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 each miss someone very special, someone who was 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated. 

 

Midas


Sadly our first Siamese and beloved Midas, a red point, lost his battle with chronic renal failure (CRF) in June 2006.  He came from a rescue centre where he was continually overlooked because of his illness, so I brought him home with me.  He only had a few months with us here, but he was loved very much by humans and felines alike.

 

Red


Tragically Red was taken from us so very young.  He had a rare form of bowel cancer and we lost him early 2010.  He was such a stunning boy, a cream tabby Siamese, and a fabulous addition to our household.  He always had something to say and loved nothing more than snuggling under the covers in bed!  He also did wonderfully well on the show bench.  We’re grateful for the short years we had with Red.

 

Abi

Abi was another Siamese rescue, a chocolate point Siamese, and she was the most wonderful girl.  She was a real character and adored being “Auntie Abi” to all the kittens that have been born and raised with us over the years.  She would help clean and educate them!  Our vet suspects that Abi was older than we had thought when we adopted her, making her quite an old lady.  Unfortunately Abi became very poorly very quickly; she was diagnosed with kidney failure and a potassium deficiency in April 2011 and she passed away in July 2011.

 

 

To all the babies who have left paw prints on our heart…………you are missed every day and will never be forgotten.  Play hard at the Bridge babies.  I love you.
