I received this post from a wonderful friend of mine who does all breed
rescue and I wanted to share it with all of you. It really touched my heart.
WELCOME AT RAINBOW BRIDGE
by AlexanderTheodore, Bouvier, Fourth Year Resident
On the morning of September 11, 2001, there was an
unprecedented amount of activity at the Rainbow Bridge. Decisions had to be
made. They had to be made quickly. And, they were.
An issue, not often addressed here, is the fact that many
residents really have no loved one for whom to wait.
Think of the pups who lived and died in hideous puppy mills. No one on earth
loved or protected them. What about the many who spent unhappy lives tied in
backyards?
And, the ones who were abused. Who are they to wait for?
We don't talk about that much up here.
We share our loved ones as they arrive, happy to do so. But we all know
there is nothing like having your very own person who thinks you are the
most special pup in the Heavens.
Last Tuesday morning a request rang out for pups not
waiting for specific persons to volunteer for special assignment..
An eager, curious crowd surged excitedly forward, each pup
wondering what the assignment would be.
They were told by a solemn voice that unexpectedly, all at
once, over 4,000 loving people had left Earth long before they were ready.
All the pups, as all pups do, felt the humans' pain
deep in their own hearts. Without hearing more, there was a clamoring
among them - "May I have one to comfort?" "I'll take two, I have a big
heart." "I have been saving kisses forever."
One after another they came forward begging for
assignment. One cozy-looking fluffy pup hesitantly asked, "Are there any
children coming? I would be very comforting for a child 'cause I'm soft and
squishy and I always wanted to be hugged." A group
of Dalmatians came forward asking to meet the Firemen and be their
friends. The larger working breeds offered to greet the Police Officers and
make them feel at home. Little dogs volunteered to do what they do best,
cuddle and kiss.
Dogs who on Earth had never had a kind word or a pat on
the head, stepped forward and said, "I will love any human who needs
love."
Then all the dogs, wherever on Earth they originally came from,
rushed to the Rainbow Bridge and stood waiting, overflowing with love to
share - each tail wagging an American Flag.
