The Rainbow Bridge
inspired by a Norse legend
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
My cat callie passed away on saturday April 19th 2008 she had kidney failure wich caused the rest of her boday to shut down she was just fine a week ago now her brother is left without his companion so we are busy spoilling him i have since researched how to have a healthy cat so this does not happen again .
I did find out that feeding them dry food all hte time can actually cause kidney failure they need wet food for the liquid they absorb more that way than through water we were first told when we got the cats 8 years ago that dry food was better for there teeth but now they say wet food is the was to go .
That if they were in the wild they would eat birds and stuff so it is what they are meant to eat and that feeding wet food can actually help them loose weight and be more healthy so with our other cat we have changed his diet to wet food .. hopefully this will help him have a long life ahead ....
My cat Callie was diagnosed with kidney failure over the weekend she has been on the hospital im terrified she is my baby she is only 8 years old .
Yesterday they told us to put her to sleep today we would have to make the choice i cried all day yesterday today they told us she has made a big change and can come home and start treatments no gauranties she will probably die in the next few weeks maybe months.
Ive been living on valium its has been devastating for me im glad she is home im just still so scarred now that i know its not long ..
I have had the worste year first our family dog then my best friend and lover and now this i don't know how much more death i can handle its not fair why me why do i have to go through it i know there are people worse off than me and i should be greatfull it just seems like im gettig picked on im a good person i don't understand why i cant get a break !!!!

Honey... I feel your pain. I am so sorry to read this. I know it feels like you're being picked on but you're not. Talk to Callie and tell her that you understand that she needs to go soon and you'll always love her, because you know she'll always love you. You gave her the best home on the planet. She will always be there with you. I know I can't make the pain go away or what has happened to you any easier. But you can talk to me any time you want. **huggles you tight** Lady K
