Remembering Our Beloved FiveSibes and All Our Furry Friends on the Winter Solstice
My beloved furangels the FiveSibes: Pupsters Wolfie, Bandit & Chloe, Gibson, Harley, and kitty Smokie (who thought she was a Husky)!

North of the Rainbow Bridge
by MakWa4me
The time comes. A Siberian Husky lifts up its head. There is an untested adventure beyond. Time to go.
Across the Rainbow Bridge is a place for all dogs. A river runs wide and shallow with tennis balls that fly with their own wings; that is the place for a Labrador or Golden to await its master's arrival
The Siberian is not content here. Northward is its trail....
There are soft pastures for Aussies and Border Collies, with sheep and geese to pen. Agility equipment grows like trees amid Frisbees and flyball.
But the North continues its sure wild call, and the Siberian's journey continues....
Now the air is colder. Now the moon is always full. Now the light is silver and it breaks and shimmers on fields of bright snow. Now there are no roads, no walls, no pens, just endless space to run.
This is where Siberians gather, North of the Rainbow Bridge.
They wait in this beautiful place, happy, but not complete. Suddenly, a howl begins, as one dog senses someone coming, someone very special. All the Siberians raise their heads and join in the ancient chorus. They dance like moonbeams and sing like winter winds.
There are red ones like dawn streaks, black ones splattered with many colors and silver ones like the first strange hour before light. They line up as if in harness and run together, in a scintillating, many-colored streak.
The leader of the team guides the others past the fields and river, with racing feet and racing heart. They rush to greet the new arrival at the Rainbow Bridge, where the leader is rejoined with its beloved person, never to be parted again.
The glory of the reunion is celebrated by all the Siberians dwelling beyond the Bridge, a glimmering, multicolored team leaping and whirling with joy.
The light from that scene is what we see on magical evenings in the northernmost parts of this Earth:
The Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

In my mind, I'm so happy as I'm back in time in a Husky pile up with my beloved pups...warm furry hugs, Husky kisses, and happy howls...and once again, like so many times before, I'm their lucky FiveSibesMom with my wonderful #ForeverFiveSibes.
Such beautiful pups, every season is a season of love.

ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever heard North of the Rainbow Bridge in it's entirety. Very cool.
