Christmas At Rainbow Bridge
As the midnight hour approaches on Christmas Eve, a tremendous celebration begins. If you listen closely you will hear the exuberant sound of Bridgekids preparing for the remarkable moment that comes but once a year. Puppys romp through the tall green grass, chasing butterflies and rolling over and over until fits of giggles bring them to a tumbling stop. The volume increases as kittens, cats, tigers and lions purr in pure delight while the wings of snow white doves gently caress the air. The babbling brook that runs beneath Rainbow Bridge overflows onto the edge of mossy banks and fins of treasured aquatic life quiver in anticipation of this most joyous event.
Nestled in the midst of this happy choir of Bridgekids are the littlest angel tots staring in awe at the majestic Christmas tree adorned with flowing strands of angel hair. Effervescent, twinkling stars seesaw elegantly from the sky and land in glorious harmony upon the stoic limbs of Heaven's most perfect Christmas tree. Swaying to and fro in nearby rocking chairs are grandmothers,grandfathers, parents, aunts, uncles and loved ones. The sound of their whispered lullabies permeate the air as they sing to tiny angel babies resting quietly in their arms. Like magic the clock approaches midnight and a great stirring is heard in the distance. Each Bridgekid stops and listens, knowing the time is near, and they choose a fleecy cloud on which to snuggle. The roar of purrs drops to barely an audible hum, the babbling brook ripples hypnotically and the flutter of downy feathered wings fall silent. Heaven's spirited toddlers climb expectantly upon the laps of angels while babies coo in tranquil unison.
Amidst the warm glow of candlelight, which rises from the earth below, the arms of the Bridge Keeper envelop the heavens and into the precious hands of each child and in front of each animal a holy gift is placed. With grand exuberance the ribbons are removed and left to fly on a tender breeze where they dissolve into showers of angel dust. As the golden lids of these heavenly gifts are raised, an amazing aura fills the sky, reaching down to the very core of the earth. Ascending from each and every box is the greatest gift of all.unending, unconditional, all-encompassing love. This blessed love gently wraps itself around the cherished souls of heaven, warming their hearts with beacons of radiant light and bringing forth from angels an exquisite chorus. As the clock strikes midnight the distance between heaven and earth is vanished. It is at this very moment on Christmas Eve that the Bridge Keeper, His children, angels and Bridgekids send a message to their earthly loved ones on the wings of this unbridled love. Listening carefully with an open heart we will hear the familiar voice of our own angel whisper softly into our ear their Christmas message
"Let me share with you this love of mine, always and forever. When you need me know that I am here. I have not left you for I am in your heart where I belong. Our love is eternal as is the brilliant glow of candlelight which illuminates the path to the heavens and Rainbow Bridge.
I wait patiently as do you for our inevitable and glorious reunion. I love you, I love you, I love you."

A wonderful person, who always had a kind word for everyone and a treat for every dog.
Who always came loaded down with stale bread from Tesco for the Foxes and wildlife at Davy Down.
You will be sorely missed by many
Brightest blessings and Love is sent to you xx

I dedicate this to all those dogs that have had to be PTS due to human neglect for the unloved ones the stray all over the world.

The first one is the wonderful old gentleman Scrumpy. A boy who I fell in love with over 2 years ago at the 2006 LF GT (and his owners too who have become special friends )
The 2nd is Pudsey, whose short life was filled with pain but so much love too once he'd found Den and Phil. I so so wished he could have had the same successful op as Charlie, but sadly it wasn't to be
He put up with all the animals I imposed on the family over the years and ended up loving em as much as I did. So many times when I was small he took a pet off to the vet to have it pts and then brought it back home again bless him he couldn't go through with it. I had to learn to cope with that bit at a very young age as he just didn't have it in him.
He loved everyone of the dogs that I have here with all his heart and said his last goodbye to them just two weeks before he died when he came to stay for my birthday. Whenever we spoke on the phone his first question was always - How's the dogs? I didn't dare tell him when I bought in yet another dog (Boots) but the first thing he said when he got out of the car was - I count 6 dogs!! and him and Boots went off down the paddock to get acquainted. He spoilt them all rotten.
