A tribute at the bridge
You are not by the door tonight,
but you are not far.
You are in the warm patch on the floor,
in the lead still on its hook,
in every good dog and every soft cat I will ever meet.
Rest now. I will find you at the bridge,
and you will know my step before you see me.
An original tribute, free to print and share.
What the Rainbow Bridge means
The Rainbow Bridge is a comforting idea many pet owners hold: a green place just this side of heaven where pets who have died are well again and waiting, until the day they are reunited with the people who loved them. It is not a doctrine. It is a kindness, a way to picture a companion at peace.
Make the certificate theirs
The memorial maker puts your pet's name, their dates and their paw print on the certificate. If you have a print, photograph it and trace it into line art first, then add it before you print. Framed, it becomes a small, steady place to remember them.
