Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colours. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm Spring weather. The old frail animals are young again. They play all day with each other. There is only one thing missing, they are not with their special person who loved them so much on Earth.

Each day they all run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears rise up! The eyes are staring! Then suddenly, this one runs from the group! You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her into your arms and you both embrace. Your face is licked again and again and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.

Den gamle hanhund, de andre hanners kloge leder og beskytter. Han blev mindst 12 år gammel og var af ukendt oprindelse, måske en Schæfer / Collie blanding. På trods af dårlig hjerte og gigt i skulderen klarede han sig fint i sin alderdom. Yndlingsbeskæftigelse : Opdragelse af de andre hanhunde.	My faithful old dog, leader and protector for the other dogs. His motto : I serve and protect. He died more than 12 years old and in spite of a heart condition and rheumatism in one shoulder he did well until the end. He made sure the other dogs behaved themselves. The pictures below is from his final walk in the woods. In the end he became to old and tired, and on this sunny autumn day we said a last good-bye to the forest where he had spend so many happy hours and with Darwin as company I took him the vet to get PTS.

Den gamle flokfører for hele flokken, der gik på pension som 12 årig. Ukendt oprindelse og ukendt alder, men hun blev mindst 14 år gammel og var stadig frisk og glad indtil det sidste, hvor hun sov fredeligt ind i sin hundekurv. Hun kom fra et dyreinternat, hvor hun var blevet afleveret af sin tidligere ejer. Yndlingsbeskæftigelse : musejagt og gravning efter musereder.	She was the oldest and the dominant bitch, but she retired at the age of 12. She died peacefully in her sleep, more than 14 years old. I got her from a Rescue Society. Even in her old age she was still going strong and used to spend most of her days chasing and digging for mice.
