On Thursday December 18, my owners (John, Cindy, and Jennifer) drove me to my veterinary clinic. They told me I was going to take a walk across a Rainbow Bridge! I like walks and haven’t been able to go on them lately because I haven’t been doing well so I wasn’t too sure what they meant. They were crying when I looked at them. Honestly, it scared me a bit and my lips started quivering. The Vet gave me some treats and that calmed me down.
My owners told me this is a special bridge and there will be people and other dogs waiting for me….for ME…..to join them when I cross over. I remember looking at Jennifer – she is my #1 owner – she was holding my head and crying and kept saying “It’s ok, Bailey.” The Vet gave me some medication and I was getting sleepy. I turned my head to Jennifer but I couldn’t see her clearly. I did feel at peace though and then I felt like I was crossing this bridge! Some people were calling me who looked like John and Cindy! Then I saw another Golden Retriever (it sure seemed like his name was Shadow) and a Beagle whose name to me seemed to be Keya! And then I saw someone whose picture was hanging in John and Cindy’s bedroom and He called me by name. I walked over to Him and He petted me. The next thing I knew I could see and hear and walk fine! He told me to go play with my new friends so Shadow, Keya, and I ran and ran and ran. It was FUN! It IS fun! I know one day my owners will join me. Until then, Shadow and me will “guard heaven” as we used to “guard the house” for our owners. I attached a picture of me earllier the day I crossed the Rainbow Bridge. ----------- Bailey crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 6 pm December 18. We miss you, Bailey. John, Cindy, and Jennifer |
