I wanted to wish all of you a Happy Memorial Day and that you are enjoying your day off work by spending some quality time with your faithful pets. Memorial Day is a day here in the US that we remember those who have pass on or as us dogs call it..crossed the rainbow bridge. For those of you humans that haven’t heard about this:
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, 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 each 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. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run 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….

Even though I never met Simba who was mommy’s Guinea pig who fought a hard and long battle with many health issues, I would like to remember him on this special day. Simba I hope you are having fun playing in the meadows ,eating all the carrots and treats you can find and having fun with all your piggy friends.
RIP Simba
