Pet Memorials

Dust Bunny was my little man in a fur suit. He eagerly went everywhere with me. He loved riding in the car, exploring new places, posing for pictures, running willy nilly through the house and snuggling in my arms. He was my first English Angora rabbit and, because of him, I have learned just how intelligent and intuitive rabbits can be. His sweet, engaging personality won over so many people who otherwise claimed to have “never liked rabbits”.He had an endearing way of begging for snacks; the word “yummies” would cause him to leap straight up in the air and dance around until he tired. I would place the treat next to his mouth where he would happily munch away until not a crumb remained. Now that he has crossed the Rainbow Bridge I know that he is quietly assisting St. Francis with the all of the new arrivals. He will always be my Dust Bunny and I will always be Dust Bunny’s mom. I eagerly await the day when we will be reunited. All of my love….

Rainbow Bridge

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....
