Our beloved pets are forever in our hearts and are a deeply embedded part of our soul. Many have changed our lives. They shall never be forgotten. Please visit our "In Memory of Gallery" to see those animals who have been remembered by our supporters and volunteers. You, too, can have your pets photo and a short caption added to our website. C&C respectfully asks for a small $25 donation (tax-deductible) to help the animals. Your pets photo will also be included in our next newsletter. Please contact our webmaster for more information. 
The Story of the Rainbow Bridge
author unknown Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,
that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all 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 again and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. These 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 the Rainbow Bridge together... |
