I went into my e-mail and went back to when Turk passed away, and found the e-mail one of my best friends sent me when she heard about my puppy.
Just this side of heaven is a place called RainbowBridge. 
When an animal  dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to  RainbowBridge. 
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. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins  to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him 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 RainbowBridge together....
