THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
There is a bridge connecting heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge is a land of meadows, hills and valleys, all of it covered with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this lovely land. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. There, the old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole once more. They play all day with each other, content and comfortable.
There is only one thing missing. They are not with the special person who loved them on Earth. So each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! Then, the nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! You have been seen, and that one suddenly runs from the group!
You take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of yours trusting pet.
Then, together, you cross the Rainbow Bridge, never again to be separated.

Pet Loss Support Hotline
One of the best unknown resources out there for pet owners during a very challenging time are pet loss support groups. Many of these support hotlines exist, all over the country. The closest and the one we have the most experience with is the UC Davis Pet Loss Support Hotline.
Veterinary students who are voluntary and obviously love pets staff this hotline. They are trained by a grief counselor and is considered important training for future doctors. They are all their because they are devoted to pets, their owners, and the bond they share.
When calling the hotline, you can discuss your emotions, your pet’s illness, or just talk about your pet’s life. Just talking to someone can help, especially since sometimes it’s very difficult to talk to the doctor right after your pet passes.
The hotline is free. The number is: 1-800-565-1526
You can go to the website for more information at: www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/petloss/index.htm
Hours: 6:30pm–9:30pm Mon-Fri
