When you think about The Rainbow Bridge?

Question

Do you believe it really exists and how do you picture it?

For you that have lost a pet, what do you think your pet is doing right now and do you think it's happy?

What do you think your pets, would say to you, if they could right you a letter, about the Rainbow Bridge?

Just Wondering!!!

Sorry about all the questions, but this is the only way I could put it!

Answer 1

I think it is a place full of green grass trees ponds and flower/butterflies

I think it is a place were lost dogs can go to escape their pain, and to wait for their still living owners

I think my rescued dog who died at 15 of colon cancer, is either playing with some older dogs or waiting for my mom or went back to his old owner it is hard to tell cause we only had him for a year before he passed but my mom was diff. his fav. but he can't have my mom back yet cause I still need her



I he could say something to us I hope it would be, thanks for taking me in when you didn't have to and giving me medical treatment even though I wasn't yours, and thank you for making my final year so bearable and replacing the owners who had so heartlessly dumbed me in a busy parking lot and left for dead, thanks for being the ones to care so I could die knowing I was loved your dog

rufus



p.s. i'll be waiting.

Answer 2

I do believe that there is a place where our pets go when they leave us. Some call it the Rainbow Bridge others will say Pet Heaven. I have one dog and several Feline Leukemia kitties that I have had to say goodbye to and I think that they are all together. My dog was my like my child and it just about killed me when he passed away and I think that if he could write me a letter that he would tell me that he knows how much I loved him and that he is in a place where he is no longer in any pain and that one day, when it is time, we will be reunited.

Answer 3

My baby girl, Susan, was an old soul and I pictured her floating around among the stars exploring the universe. And I know she is happy and all better because of the rather funny sign she gave us. When she was alive she had some problems with arthritis and she died of bone cancer which is very painful. I used to work with her with crystals and the one we used most was a piece of amethyst because that is a healing stone. We had her cremated and her ashes are in a small box on the top of my husband's desk in the corner where she used to hide during storms and fireworks. We put her there because it was always her safe spot. I put her amethyst crystal on top of the box. Now the crystal is a piece of a geode and has a flat side that it sits on with the crystals pointing up and the top of the box is flat also. I put it right in the center of the box. Three times it fell off onto the floor behind the desk before I got the hint that she didn't need it anymore. It was the only thing that fell off the desk and there is alot of stuff up there. So I know that she is happy and healthy and doesn't need the crystal anymore.

Answer 4

I do believe in The Rainbow Bridge. I picture it as rainbow just next to heaven. Of corse I think my pet it happy. What is not to like about it? The weak and hurt ones are made whole and strong again. If they could write me a letter, it would be;



Dear Emily,

I miss you terribly. But, I am happy here. There are meadows and hills for all me special friends and I so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. It is perfect here, but there is one thing missing, and thats you! - Love your loving pet.

Answer 5

I don't think there is a Rainbow Bridge, but I use that name a lot. I do believe that our pets will be waiting for me. Most people will say, no, they have no soul, so therefore they cannot be in Heaven. But the Bible tells us, that the Lion will lay down with the lamb. So, if there is going to be a lion and a lamb, why not our pets. I fully expect to be welcomed by my former pets, Dog, Cat and plenty of birds. And if God created them, why would he not want them in Heaven.

Answer 6

Yes I do believe it exists.

It is a place where all dogs go and become their youthful healthy selves, ( Brings a tear to my eye`s just talking about it), and wait for their loved ones to come join them.

God, I have seen so many of my gang in the past go to it and meet up with dogs that i have shared my life with.

I always am there at one of my dogs passing and i tell them to look for the dogs they know to help them across, and that one day I will be there with them.

I think that my dogs would tell me that they had a wonderful life with me and that passing over across the bridge was not a bad thing and that they are having a wonderful time with all the other dogs there, and that when it is my time that they will all be waiting for me to come across and join them in that wonderful place where you don`t grow old , get sick, and do nothing but love one another and play all the time.

God this was tuff and I will always miss my gang so.

Good luck and God bless all our wonderful best friends that are there.

Answer 7

I hope with all my heart that a place like the Rainbow Bridge really exists. I know some folks say that dogs don't go to Heaven or whatnot....personally, a place where my dogs aren't welcome is NOT Heaven, and I don't want to be there. A sentient creature capable of joy, sadness, devotion and love....certainly deserves to have their place in the afterlife alongside their human friends.



I think it's a wonderful thought, to soothe the pain of losing a beloved pet....picture them in a better place, in their young, healthy body, playing with other dogs and spending their days doing whatever they loved best. And one day when they see their master approaching, they'll wag their whole body and run to greet him/her :)....



I only have one dog there, but I picture her with a group of doggy friends, playing and romping and basking in the sun. And I think when she sees me again, her eyes will light up and she'll do the Kidney Bean Dance (she's a Boxer- they wag their entire bodies and will do the cha-cha with their body curved in a kidney-bean shape, LOL)....



Another aspect of my personal belief, is similar to Native American beliefs- that our bodies come from the Earth and when we die, our bodies return to the Earth, but our energy, our "souls" that made up our essence don't go away. The law of physics says that energy cannot be created or destroyed- it just changes forms....so to me, it stands to reason that the energy within our bodies (soul, essence, spirit, or whatever name you give it) remains with us for all eternity.



It's a soothing thought, and helps me remember that my deceased loved ones (human and animal) are truly "here with me" at any given time :)....



hmmm, Deep philosophical musings from me, at 6:55 AM on a Tuesday....I must be getting ill, LOL :)

Answer 8

I believe its a grassy place animals can run and play and they all get along.



I believe my dog Roxie,Cats Tootie and Pepper and Puffin all live next to each other and play with all other animals that they have met there.

I think they're happy but I do think they miss me a bunch.

If they could write me a letter they would say they wish they were here with me. I know they they would say they miss me very much and wish that I could pet them again. Pepper would say that she would want to sit on my lap again.She would tell me that she is not sick again and Roxie isn't either.



I know they are waiting for me! i know I'm waiting for them!



Some of these make me cry.

Answer 9

Rainbows bridge is truly a wonderful place to eulogize your pets. Everyone pictures it differently of course...why not?

My departed pets are waiting for me and gaze diligently at the horizon upon which I will come to them.

My pets would say, "Mom, I am glad you are coming someday, we are happy and we can wait for you."

God gave us wonderful pets, it seems fitting that they will be with us always and forever.

Answer 10

DITTO.....ABBYFUL



I believe that my babies are at "Peace". And for that matter, I am also at peace. Rainbow Bridge, or not. There is no suffering, no pain, no unhappiness......anymore. I'm settled in my heart, however, the pictures, memories, and video's remain.......that makes me smile.



Just to know that I've done my best, is my inner peace in my heart.



Hugs, from Pilot and I. :oD

Answer 11

None of us really knows what happens after we die. Is there a bridge? Who knows.



I'm a Christian, so I believe in heaven. In the Bible it says that not even a sparrow can fall without God knowing. I believe animals go to heaven.
