I recently had to change servers for this survey. These are entries posted on the old server. I hope you you will return to the main survey page and post your opinions on the Rainbow Bridge on the new server.

Well, I have heard before that when you go to heaven your pets will be there but they will not acknowledge you. That was in the past and from people I now think did not really know what they are talking about. I always hoped though. But then I read Talking To Heaven, by James Van Praagh, a well known medium. I have always loved and trusted him so when I read many examples in his book about him communicating to people about their pets that have passed on, I truly to believe that we will all be reunited with our pets. It really put me at ease, especially in one instance that a persons dog actually was communicating with its owner through Mr. Van Praagh. You would have to read his book to understand and believe what I am saying. In final, I do believe that our beloved pets will be waiting for us all when we go to heaven and they will be well taken care of until we get there :o) Heather Smith

I found a site with the Rainbow Bridge last Nov. after we lost our toy poodle of 12 years. I found it very comforting at the time picturing

God would never send these animals to us that meant so much...and then make us go through eternity without them

Your page was very moving to me because my poodle Joshua has cancer and I will have to put him down soon. He is in no pain but is rapidly losing weight so the time is coming. It is going to break my heart and it comforts me to know that I will see him again in Heaven!! Thank you for this site I found it when I needed to see it most. Take care and God Bless You!!!!

I was looking at one of your other links and was going to send the Rainbow Bridge poem to you but I read on and saw that you already had it. My best friend Princess was hit by a car and died a few years ago. I happened to be reading the newspaper the next day and found that poem in it. She was so special to me and I still shed a tear when I read it and remember her. More recently I lost my 8 year old bunny named Sammy. My grandfather always said that everytime a beloved pet dies it saves the life of a loved family member. Now I have four babies (my dogs). And they all bring me so much joy. Your page is wonderful. I just wanted to thank you for bringing out good memories that we sometimes are too busy to remember.

I honestly believe that one day I shall see my beloved Mandy again....I believe Heaven will be a beautiful place and how can it not include our beautiful pets? When we lose them it is the most painful experience of all....but, knowing that one day we shall be with them again helps ease some of the pain.

According to the Bible, dogs do not have souls and therefore do not go to heaven when they die. No one could love animals more than I but I love Jesus and His Word more and believe it is all true. However, I do hope and believe that there will be animals in heaven. It couldn't be heaven without them, just new little friends. Where the lion will lay down with the lamb and the baby will be able to play with the viper and all will live together in harmony, love and the continual light of God our Father.

I am so glad that you stopped by our page and left your URL. I have had so much fun on your page looking around, I will be back to keep updated. Thanks again for the wonderful graphics. Love the poodle in the tub.

I love all animals and I think they have good hearts and souls just like people (sometimes even better) and I just know that I will see my little babies again someday. I miss my dog Traci so much, I just know she is waiting for me to join her someday.

anyone who does not believe that we will see our animals again does not know how to feel pure innocince and emotion. Our animals are very important I could never go on without thinking I will see them again and I will SEE THEM!!!!
thankyou rose

I believe that our heaven has to have a place for our faithful pals. When I was a little girl, my dog Phyliss died unexpectedly. I cried for days on end because my teacher, who was a nun, told me that only humans go to heaven. One night, I woke up and saw a vision of my little dog in my bedroom. She was in the comforting arms of an angel and was rising up to the air. It may or may not have been only a little girl's dream, but I believe that if heaven doesn't have room for little girl's dreams, than it doesn't exist. I have felt comforted by that image for over 25 years. I appreciate that comfort especially now that my beloved friend of 13 years past away last month. I know we will meet again.

I thought that your page is great. When I read some of the stuff on it, it made me cry, cause I realized how much more I miss my dog, and how I know that I'll see him again, eventually.
I had Max put to sleep because he was going through kidney failure and the only thing that would have helped him was to be put on kidney dialysis at either Purdue University or Michigan State University. Having him put to sleep was the hardest thing that I've ever had to do. When the vet came in with the 'injection' he tried to wag his tail (he was too weak) amd it killed me cause I don't think that he realized what had happened.

when my beloved lady passed on one one week to the day before Princess Di died I was devestated. I had lost my best fiend. when I first got her I really wasn't sure if I wanted her. She change my mind with her love. I was going thru some really bad times and she always seem to take my troubles From me . I found out that she had eppilepsy when she had her pups . She had been been a neglected stray with me she found love and a warm heart. She returned it tenfold. If I am not to be with her again, God will have played a cruel joke on us,I don't believe he would do that . Lady , where ever you are I'll see you when i get there
