RainbowBridge

Welcome to RBL Romantica's Rainbow Bridge.
This is where we honor and cherish the memory of our beautiful furbabies who gave us unconditional love and friendship and added so much joy to our lives. We want to think of it as a happy place, an extension of the love and family that is such a big part of RBL. Because, after all, they are a part of our family! But, we can also come here and cry a tear or two if we feel the need. No one will laugh at us or think us foolish. And we invite everyone who would like to honor their beloved pet in this manner to send us a picture. We don't care who you are, a regular member of this group, or a lurker - you and your furbabies are welcome. Just send your picture to Beaty. Now, take a second to read the poem, then stroll on over the Rainbow Bridge where our beautiful babies are waiting!

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 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....
