June 25,1991- December 21,2004

Because of its many colors, the bridge connecting Heaven and Earth has come to be known as the Rainbow Bridge.

Just this side of the Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills and lush green valleys. When a pet that we love dies, this wonderful place serves as their new home. There is always an abundance of food (in Nikki's case, LOT'S of Oreo's!), water and warm sunshine (or Snow for Nikki), Old and frail animals are young again, and those who have been maimed are made whole and strong again just as we remember them in our dreams of days gone by. . They make new friends and play all day.

There is one thing missing from these carefree surroundings though, the companionship of their loving family. Time passes and soon another day comes when one of them is distracted by a familiar scent... she suddenly stops and looks into the distance.  

Her bright eyes are intent; her eager body quivers.  Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster.

YOU have been seen!

As she runs to your side, you fall to your knees... your face is kissed again and again, your hands again caress her 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.

Together you cross the Rainbow Bridge...

                                                                    never again to be separated
