I had wanted to copy the poem "Across the Rainbow Bridge" and place it here. However I found some very touching "Rainbow Bridge" tributes, I decided to make a short list of links. Do not continue without a box of tissues at hand. These are so touching, warm and memorable, even a tribute to pets on 9-11. The list isn't complete, by any means. These just touched my heart more than others.

"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 and 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 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. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to
break away 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......."
