A Poem for Cathy

Yesterday, we lost our dear, sweet friend, Cathy Rubin, founder of Rover Rescue.

She was a true angel, and a gift to all dogs, and humans alike. Her impact on the world was profound, the love she gave was endless.

We love you, Cathy! The dogs are waiting for you at the gates, tails wagging!

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water, and warm Spring weather. Those old and frail animals are young again. Those who have been maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other. But there is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches, the ears are up, the eyes are staring, and this one suddenly runs from the group. You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated. ~Author Unknown

I imagine there is a lot of kissing going on, just about now...
