Hello everyone, Im sorry your mommy is sad Minnie. I think it's natural when holiday times approach, many feel blue as our immediate thoughts are our Angels are not at home.

Come and sit around the fire everyone, I have a Christmas Story to tell you. For everyone who's first Christmas it is away from home, im here to tell you what a magical place RB is at Christmas time. Everybody comfy, then i'll begin........

December is the best month of the year at the Rainbow Bridge. For the dogs there is snow to romp in and the angels always have time to toss snowballs for them to chase. The cats enjoy patting at the snowflakes as they fall, and then curling up near the fireplace for a nice winter's nap.

But it is the lights that make this time so special. Winter on the Earth, their former home, is a time of lengthening darkness, and in December candles glow all around the globe beginning with Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, and continuing on right through the New Year's festivities. At the Bridge the glow of these candles is reflected in all of the trees, and in the hearts of every Bridgekid as they observe the month in their own special way; with memories of the lives, and the loved ones they left behind.

For most it is a time of quiet joy, but each year there are always a few who draw apart..
Near to midnight, "home time" on December 24 Charlie realized someone was missing from the Hale gathering. "I'll be right back," he told his siblings. He passed many similar groupings as he hurried down the well worn path, many friends called out to him, but he only acknowledge the greetings with a wave and continued on. The path ended at the Rainbow, and there he found a small group of newcomers, each sitting quietly, alone. One of these, the missing Sandifur, was crouched at the very edge, his stumpy tail twitching rapidly, as he stared at the scene below.

"You are missing the party, little brother," Charlie said.
"I don't care," replied Sandifur, "I don't like Christmas anyway. "

Charlie only smiled. "I felt the same way my first year. Do you remember your very first Christmas with Mom and Dad? Remember the new scratching tree they gave us that year, and the catnip mice? And remember all the good things we got to eat? That was a great time, wasn't it?" Sandifur nodded, still gazing intently below. "I want to go back."
"I did too, " Charlie said, licking gently at his brother's ear. "But we can't, baby brother. This is our place now." "But it's Christmas, and Mom and Dad miss us so much. Look, mom is lighting a candle right now, just for us and she is crying."

"Christmas Eve is her time to remember, little one, but tomorrow she will pass out the presents to all of our brothers and sisters, and she will be happy again. I want to show you something. Come with me."
Together the two kiddens climbed the arch of the Rainbow, and at the very top Charlie stopped. "Do you see that big silver cloud over there? Watch closely."

As Sandifur gazed the cloud began to swirl and gradually an image came into view. The clearing where he had left his family, and a larger gathering around the big, glowing pine tree. He could see the dogs, many more of them than when he had left, playing fetch and tug of war, and the kiddens, so many kiddens, sleeping in a heap, their soggy catnip mice forgotten in the grass.

Suddenly the kiddens all woke up, and the dogs ceased their play and stared into the darkness beyond the clearing, tails wagging in greeting.
And then, much to Sandifur's amazement, two humans stepped into the light."
"Hurry, Charlie, we have to go back," he said. " Mom and Dad, they're here!"
"Not just yet, Sandy. That cloud is our Window into Tomorrow.
Come back with me now, and join the others. The reunion will come. We have been promised."

Sandy reluctantly pulled his gaze away from the vision of the future, and followed Charlie. They found the others waiting for them at the base of the rainbow. "Is it time?" Charlie asked.
Terrie nodded, "They are waiting."
All of the Hale Bridgekids drew together, and looked over the edge, and along the entire length of the rainbow similar groups were gathered, all looking down at their former homes.

Suddenly the light of a million candles from the Earth met the glow from the Rainbow Bridge. "Now," Charlie whispered.

In unison three words were repeated again and again, and as they were spoken they merged with the bridge of light, flowing from the rainbow to the earth, and back again in ever increasing brilliance, and the colors of the rainbow merged with the light. "I love you," they all said, and the love entered every heart of the pet parents on earth, and the hearts of those who gathered at the rainbow.

"Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad," Sandifur whispered again, watching the lights slowly fade. "I love you. I will be waiting."

"I will look ahead for there is our tomorrow."

Minn your mommy sounds like she is going through what alot of the moms and dads are going through right now, The dreaded seasonal blues..probably the stress of the holidays doesn't help. Isn't this the very first year without her little Minn ?? Well, you Kittys are notorious for doing something that us dogs can't do...Purr!!! Yes Minnie, when my mom needed to relax I was not very good at letting her as I always needed something but Fiona would lay down next to her and let her pet her and purr away moms stress..I was always a tad bit jealous that I couldn't do that too!! Maybe your mom just needs to know that you are with her every single step of the way, I am very certain that we can find a way to do that cuz two heads are better than one, I love you Minnie!!

11-19-2008 9:02 AM -- By: Minnie and Willow, Critters.com memorial: Minnie Memorial

Good morning, everybody. Mommy has been so sad

11-18-2008 5:06 PM -- By: Luna, Critters.com memorial: Luna Memorial

Ok, the kids played in the meadow, ate a BBQ lunch at sat back and sent all their love to their parents at home, later on in the day they all gathered and once again went to Buddy's house to have a snowball fight ... the snow was so light and fluffy Luna didn't even mind, Blossom was there to help with her red misstens and scarf and vest ... all the angels were out and about, bouncing, singing and thinking of what to do to decorate the tree this year ... Luna mentioned we can start preparing for the decorations but the tree will not be trimmed until after Thanksgiving eve ... but they can scout for the tree and have all the sparkles, lights and trim prepared. Luna wants everyone to make an ornament of their choosing to hand on the tree. She will have lots of crafts and projects at Lunetta's along with glue, rhinestones, and paint to personalize each one ... OH NO, DUCK ... incomming ... Dusty comes up from the rear and fires away protecting the little ladies, they thank him with a warm cup of hot cooca and Blossom handed him some especially made cookeis from the Barkery. Buddy, Puck, Dollie, Noops, Toby, Rock, and Shabba, Ebony, Simon, Patch, Minnie, Inky, WIllow, Angel, Patches, Taffy, made a fort, the winter wonderland is coming out quite nicely as snow angels grace the driveway of Polly's house ... not to worry POlly, we'll be here throughtout the night to keep you company ... we're getting mighty use to hanging by your house and Buddy's brothers .... they keep us amused (We let them out to play and they have a great time), I hope that was ok, they promised (crossed their heart ) that they wouldn't run away or get in anmy trouble...so later they should be tired and let you relax. Hugs, Luna and the snowball bunch

11-18-2008 2:09 PM -- By: Luna, Critters.com memorial: Luna Memorial

Oh Greta, Dusty is so sweet, I just love surprises!!! (Luna shakes her tail and spins), ... so do we want to sit in the meadow for a while, get some BBQ for LUnch, then bundle up and head out to Buddy's house ... "i hope the snow is soft", ... Oh Christian, can you give me one more cup of hot cocoa, yes, whipped cream too please ... Luna bends over the counter ... need any help in there?? No Luna but thanks, I have everything under control. ... Humm, maybe we should have a BBQ in the meadow, that sounds like a wonderful idea!!!

11-18-2008 2:04 PM -- By: greta, Critters.com memorial: Greta Abigail Memorial

BOO!!!! Here we are Luna, ready to play in the snow again or whatever. Sorry about the serenade from Dusty this morning he is bound and determined he is gonna wake you with a surprise every morning..

..Good Luck with that Luna..teehee

11-18-2008 1:58 PM -- By: Luna, Critters.com memorial: Luna Memorial

Happy Angel Day Patch ... Big kisses you your mommy, we'll all watch her later ok ... "Parent Partrol at 2pm, all are welcome" ... we can sit in the meadow and look in on them, they might even feel us with them (Luna smiles) ... oh Puckie Poo, Drat, is like dog-gone-it, ahh, a a cup of hot cocoa with chipped cream ... yummie!!! Puckie, any cookies in your man-bag???

Did anyone see Greta and Dusty, I think Buddy's mom still has the snow ... he suggested we make a fort? But I'm not sure about a snowball fight unless it's really soft snow (Luna flutters and spins), I'm not into pain but excitement!!! Luna tags Dusty, "gotcha", hahaha. catch me if you can and she flutters out of sight ... "where did Luna go", Buddy sips his hot cocoa and says, "Oh, she'll be right back, her hot cocoa is here, and she never leaves without finihsing it! Slirppp, ahh...Good!
