About the Images

I’ve been off the grid for a while because I recently lost my beloved RL dog. She was my shadow, my constant companion, and stuck to me like velcro. Every time I turned around, she was right there. And now she isn’t.

To say that this has gutted me would be an understatement.

Not long after I lost my sweet girl, I learned that Zooby had released a new line of Animesh puppies. When I saw the face of the Pomeranian, I knew that I had to have her. Though she’s a different breed, the Zooby Pom Pom looks very similar to my girl. It’s been a comfort to have her as my SL companion.

I plan to write a review of the Zooby puppies very soon. But for now, I just want to leave this here as a tribute to my sweet girl, who I miss so much.

P.S. Zooby has been doing a very generous weekly giveaway of the puppies. Head over to the Zoobyland puppy area and click the gift box to enter.

The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, 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, 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. Their bright eyes are intent. Their eager body quivers. Suddenly, they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying them 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 the Rainbow Bridge together.
