    A Letter from the Rainbow Bridge

Hi, Mom and Dad,

Now that I've been across The Rainbow Bridge for a couple weeks, they said I should
write a letter home. Sorry, Mom but I'm so busy 'across the bridge' that I haven't thought
of home much. They said it's okay and that you would understand. I hope you do. (I
think you will.)

Remember that night when I wasn't feeling very well and we were all crying? I don't
remeber much, but I do remember seeing and hearing all of you and feeling your
touches and hugs...I remember hearing "we love you" and that one last command of
"Go through". I didn' know what you meant, so I turned around and walked through the
fog that was in front of me. I saw the biggest bridge I've ever seen! And so many friends
on the other side of it! They were all playing with toys and balls! You were right to tell
me to go there!

My feet kept moving forward, but my heart kept pulling me back. Your touches became
lighter and lighter and I wanted to come back and nudge your hands for more love, but I
was overcome by this feeling of curiosity for the happy place over the bridge! My feet
started moving on their own, like a gentle breeze was moving them forward for me! I
can't explain it, but I had no doubt that it was the right thing to do!

So, I walked across that big, huge bridge by myself! I looked for you, because you'e
always by my side, walking with me, but this was different. I didn't have a collar around
my neck or a leash connecting me to you ~ I was 'free'! Even though you were't there
with me, I never felt alone! I actually felt like I had a huge cape of love wrapped around
my body and the more I walked, the easier it was to breathe! So, I kept walking! And I
would feel more warmth in the big hug, so I kept on walking! I eventually made it over
the big bridge - I did it by myself, mom. When I got here, all of my new friends greeted
me and helped me walk off the bridge ~ it was so cool! They gave me a pair of wings
and said that I was now a Guardian Angel!!

What I've learned over these past few weeks has been amazing and nothing like I've
seen before! We're all the same up here ~ we all have wings and we all have Forever
People o watch over ~ that's YOU, dad and mom! Your'e my Forever Persons and I'm
your Forever Dog! We had such a great life together and I do miss you a LOT, but
please know that I am so happy in my new home across The Bridge!

I'll send you another Earth Angel! so you won't be alone. Give them your whole hear,
like you gave it to me. I'll check in every so often to make sure they treasure your love ~
I always did! When you miss me, think of a rainbow and know I'm on the other side of it,
waiting to walk with you again. I'll be in your heart. I love you, mom! Time for me
to go play

Love Shado, Pugha, Tubber, Bear, Chedder, Freddie.
