Amber Mist - ISSR Shilohs - The Original Shiloh Shepherd

When I am gone, release me, let me go. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears.
You can only guess how much you gave me in happiness.
Grieve for me a while, if you grieve, you must then let your grief be comforted by trust.
And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a lick and bark,
"Welcome Home"

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal who has been especially close to someone dies, that pet goes to the 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.

Animals who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them from days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one thing:
they miss someone very special to them; the person they left behind.

All of the animals run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
Her bright eyes are intent, her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to break away from the group,
flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her 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. 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...
