Note: To the animal lovers, you may want to look up: Rainbow Bridge (pets) - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Bridge_(pets)    The Rainbow Bridge is a meadow where animals wait for their humans to join them, and the bridge that takes them all to Heaven, together. The Rainbow Bridge is the theme of several works of poetry written in the 1980s and 1990s that speak of an other-worldly place where pets go upon death, eventually to be reunited with their owners.
