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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.<\/p>\n<p><em>Author Unknown<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
