Rainbow bridge ?? When I Get There

[Gingerwitch]

Ok out of my original herd i only have little lad..... now i have a new horse - whom i am convinced is Ginger re-incarnated.... but what happens when i croak it.... will ALL my horses be a happy herd, will some of them have gone off to others that they loved more ? will my new herd and my old herd settle and be happy together ?

Or is it a load of tosh ?

Nobody knows for sure, but you could torture yourself thinking about it, so I wouldn't. I take the view that whatever happens happens, hope its for the best. Whatever it is or isn't, worrying about it now won't change it.

 

[Gingerwitch]

I just feel that my old horses are looking out for me... Ginger has sent me Senna and Big Lad has sent me another Big Lad to look after.... I cannot explain and I did not go looking for either of them.... but they both feel a perfect fit into our family - am I mad ??

 

[Cortez]

Yes, you are mad, and it IS a load of tosh.

[Sugar_and_Spice]

No you're not mad. So the newbies fit, you found each other because you were meant to, why that happened wouldn't bother me. Maybe they were sent, who knows? It's not like anyone can ever come back and say yup there's an afterlife, is it? Believe whatever you feel is right. Like I said, it won't make any difference, it won't change anything whether you're right or wrong.

 

[Pie's mum]

I don't think you are mad at all. It's one if those questions that no one really knows the answer to but if it feels right and you take comfort from the thought then why question it?

Yes, you are mad, and it IS a load of tosh.

That's it the woman has a heart of stone! Here is the proof!

Jeez Cortez, and at Christmas time!

I may be nuts, but when any of my guys cross rainbow bridge, I tell them to go and find my others already there. It helps me cope to think of them up there together, looking out for eachother x

 

[Mongoose11]

The hope of Rainbow Bridge is the only thing that stops me from bawling about my beloved dog on a daily basis..... Well not quite but you know what I mean...

 

[Gingerwitch]

Well i must be nuttier than you as i know Ginger would wait for Big lad.... and Big Lad will wait for little lad.... but i worry that if one of the other 2 get there before little lad.... then who will wait for them .... as they wont know Ginger or Big Lad as far as I know.... but then i think that Ginger and Big Lad have moved me toward the other 2 i have now ..... off to my padded cell - bye

Absolutely!

It's good to fertilise a tree though. My animals and my best human friends are buried on my land and helping trees grow.

 

[Mongoose11]

ChrimboW - don't be so ridiculous woman, of course they all know each other - they have all been connected through the power of your love..... *dons tinhat/straightjacket and awaits the injection*

Now that does worry me

 

[flirtygerty]

No you are not crazy, if you are over the rainbow bridge all your previous animals will be there waiting.
It is in my will that any horses, dogs I own will be PTS on my death, I can't bear the thought that my lovely quirky lad will end up being passed from pillar to post, which given his quirks is quite likely, unless my daughter takes him which is unlikely, since she has already said he is a *****, he will be PTS, despite being relatively young, I am not willing to risk him being abused, my mare is elderly, arthritic and owes no one anything, so she also will not be passed on.
Hopefully I will last for a while longer, but I need to know my animals are sorted.
Two dogs I am looking forward to seeing again are, my daughters GSD Jasper and my old death row dog Kaiser, both characters in their own right

 

[YorksG]

Crimbowitch, I fully expect to get mobbed when I finally cross Rainbow Bridge I have a theory that horses do not experience time in the linear manner which we do, so past, present and future are not the same for them as for us. This could mean that all your horses know each other and so will wait for each other, depending on who gets there first. I have no proof of this of course, but it works for me

If it really exists then if I wasn't dead already I would get killed in the rush

One horse has stayed in my heart since forever - my screen name Tnavas. We were together for almost 14 years and there are times when I feel guilty that I had him PTS - navicular had got a hold on him and he wouldn't retire quietly, racing around as only a TB can and making himself immobilised lame the next day. I couldn't bear to see my dear friend in so much pain and I often hope he understood when I held his rope for the last time. I stayed with him until his last breath died. He's buried at my friends farm.

I often wonder if there is another plane we go to once we die - if there is it must be very crowded with all the animals we have loved and that have passed over the Rainbow Bridge. I found my second soul mate Serenity - she fills my heart when I am with her and will be with me for the rest of her days - I'd sell my house before I would sell her.

If you believe physics, communicators etc, then our beloved animals will be waiting for us, whether or not it is an actual rainbow bridge. Personally, our bond can be so strong with our animals, believing we will ultimately be reunited is the only way we can cope with our loss. I honestly don't know the real answer, I wish I did. I don't have any religious faith. Perhaps we are all on a learning curve, and people and animals come into our lives for a reason, which,at the time, we might not understand, but having given us that particular lesson, they move on?
Too deep to think about right now and I'm welling up (again) so going off to walk my dogs in the forest...
