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 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.
His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run 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.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

The Loss of a Beloved Pet

The loss of a pet, just like the loss of any member of your family, can be a very painful experience. We find some solace from other pet parents who have been through the experience before. Although our friends and families try to acknowledge the pain, the importance of the loss may not be fully realized by others. The bond we share with our pets is special and unique for each person. Remember that you do not need anyone else's approval to mourn the loss of your pet, and do not feel as if you have to justify your feelings to others. Take time for yourself, or surround yourself by others who can understand your pain.

Here at Delightfully Dog we firmly believe that each and every pet is to be honored and remembered for the special place they hold in your heart. New pets will not fill your lost pets paws, but rather make their own. Our Rainbow Bridge page is dedicated to each and every pet that has passed on, giving you the option to create a Pet Memorial Profile for your lost pet and share some of your special memories with others who have felt the same pain and grew to cherish the memories.
