Her bright eyes are intent; Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... <br /><br />Author unknown... <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624992.post-37323490397043457012012-08-20T21:39:03.123-07:002012-08-20T21:39:03.123-07:00beautiful...beautiful...Sreejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395234979504881964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624992.post-45719025952980259802012-08-20T20:37:11.009-07:002012-08-20T20:37:11.009-07:00Thanks, and yes she had enough catitude for two ca...Thanks, and yes she had enough catitude for two cats.Buddah Moskowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839068145732552328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624992.post-9727133868346886592012-08-20T20:36:00.062-07:002012-08-20T20:36:00.062-07:00Thanks, yes she was one of a kindThanks, yes she was one of a kindBuddah Moskowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839068145732552328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624992.post-52793849253830049822012-08-20T20:19:39.099-07:002012-08-20T20:19:39.099-07:00very touching, Mosk.
