SEPT 11 WELCOME AT RAINBOW BRIDGE

WELCOME AT RAINBOW BRIDGE
(Adapted from the original)

by Alexander Theodore, Bouvier, Fourth Year Resident
On the morning of September 11, 2001, there was an unprecedented amount of
activity at the Rainbow Bridge. Decisions had to be made. They had to be
made quickly. And, they were.
An issue, not often addressed here, is the fact that many residents really
have no loved one for whom to wait. And, the ones who were abused. Who are
they to wait for?
We don't talk about that much up here. We share ones as they arrive, happy
to do so. But we all know there is nothing like having your very own person
who thinks you are the most special kitten in the Heavens.
Last Tuesday morning a request rang out for kittens not waiting for specific
persons to volunteer for special assignment.. An eager, curious crowd surged
excitedly forward, each kitten wondering what the assignment would be.
They were told by a solemn voice that unexpectedly, all at once, thousands
of people died on Earth long before they were ready.
All the kittens, as all kittens do, felt the humans' pain deep in their own
hearts. Without hearing more, there was a clamoring among them - "May I have
one to comfort?" "I'll take two, I have a big heart." "I have been saving
tail-swishes forever."
One after another they came forward begging for assignment.
One cozy-looking fluffy kitten hesitantly asked, "Are there any children
coming?
I would be very comforting for a child 'cause I'm soft and squishy and I
always wanted to be hugged."
Little cats volunteered to do what they do best, cuddle and rub against
legs.
Cats who on Earth had never had a kind word or a pat on the head, stepped
forward and said, "I will love any human who needs love."
Then all the cats, wherever on Earth they originally came from, rushed to
the Rainbow Bridge and stood waiting, overflowing with love to share. .

On the morning of September 11, 2001, there was an unprecedented amount of

made quickly. And, they were.
An issue, not often addressed here, is the fact that many residents really
have no loved one for whom to wait. Think of the pups who lived and died in
hideous puppy mills. No one on earth loved or protected them. What about
the many who spent unhappy lives tied in backyards? And, the ones who were
abused. Who are they to wait for?
We don't talk about that much up here. We share our loved ones as they
arrive, happy to do so. But we all know there is nothing like having your

Last Tuesday morning a request rang out for pups not waiting for specific
persons to volunteer for special assignment. An eager, curious crowd surged
excitedly forward, each pup wondering what the assignment would be.
They were told by a solemn voice that unexpectedly, all at once, over 6,000
loving people had left Earth long before they were ready. All the pups, as
all pups do, felt the humans' pain deep in their own hearts. Without
hearing more, there was a clamoring among them - "May I have one to
comfort?" "I'll take two, I have a big heart." "I have been saving kisses
forever."
One after another they came forward begging for assignment. One
cozy-looking fluffy pup hesitantly asked, "Are there any children coming? I
would be very comforting for a child 'cause I'm soft and squishy and I
always wanted to be hugged." A group of Dalmatians came forward asking to
meet the Firemen and be their friends. The larger working breeds offered to
greet the Police Officers and make them feel at home. Little dogs
volunteered to do what they do best, cuddle and kiss.
Dogs who on Earth had never had a kind word or a pat on the head, stepped
forward and said, "I will love any human who needs love."

One cozy-looking fluffy kitten hesitantly asked, "Are there any
children coming?
I would be very comforting for a child 'cause I'm soft and squishy and
I always wanted to be hugged."
Little cats volunteered to do what they do best, cuddle and rub
against legs.
Cats who on Earth had never had a kind word or a pat on the head,
stepped forward and said, "I will love any human who needs love."
Then all the cats, wherever on Earth they originally came from, rushed
to the Rainbow Bridge and stood waiting, overflowing with love to
share. .


I INCLUDED THE DOG VERSION ALSO

On the morning of September 11, 2001, there was an unprecedented
amount of activity at the Rainbow Bridge. Decisions had to be made.
They had to be made quickly. And, they were.
An issue, not often addressed here, is the fact that many residents
really have no loved one for whom to wait. Think of the pups who
lived and died in hideous puppy mills. No one on earth loved or
protected them. What about the many who spent unhappy lives tied in
backyards? And, the ones who were abused. Who are they to wait for?
We don't talk about that much up here. We share our loved ones as
they arrive, happy to do so. But we all know there is nothing like
having your very own person who thinks you are the most special pup in
the Heavens.
Last Tuesday morning a request rang out for pups not waiting for
specific persons to volunteer for special assignment. An eager,
curious crowd surged excitedly forward, each pup wondering what the
assignment would be.
They were told by a solemn voice that unexpectedly, all at once, over
6,000 loving people had left Earth long before they were ready. All
the pups, as all pups do, felt the humans' pain deep in their own
hearts. Without hearing more, there was a clamoring among them - "May
I have one to comfort?" "I'll take two, I have a big heart." "I have
been saving kisses forever."
One after another they came forward begging for assignment. One
cozy-looking fluffy pup hesitantly asked, "Are there any children
coming? I would be very comforting for a child 'cause I'm soft and
squishy and I always wanted to be hugged." A group of Dalmatians came
forward asking to meet the Firemen and be their friends. The larger
working breeds offered to greet the Police Officers and make them feel
at home. Little dogs volunteered to do what they do best, cuddle and
kiss.
Dogs who on Earth had never had a kind word or a pat on the head,
stepped forward and said, "I will love any human who needs love."
Then all the dogs, wherever on Earth they originally came from, rushed
to the Rainbow Bridge and stood waiting, overflowing with love to
share - each tail wagging an American Flag

WELCOME AT RAINBOW BRIDGE

On the morning of September 11, 2001, there was an unprecedented

They had to be made quickly. And, they were.
An issue, not often addressed here, is the fact that many residents

We don't talk about that much up here. We share ones as they arrive,

Last Tuesday morning a request rang out for kittens not waiting for
specific persons to volunteer for special assignment.. An eager,
curious crowd surged excitedly forward, each kitten wondering what
the assignment would be.
They were told by a solemn voice that unexpectedly, all at once,
thousands of people died on Earth long before they were ready.
All the kittens, as all kittens do, felt the humans' pain deep in
their own hearts. Without hearing more, there was a clamoring among
them - "May I have one to comfort?" "I'll take two, I have a big
heart." "I have been saving tail-swishes forever."
One after another they came forward begging for assignment.
One cozy-looking fluffy kitten hesitantly asked, "Are there any
