Today is a day to fondly remember all of our beloved pets who have made their journey to the Rainbow Bridge...while we do remember them and hold them close in our hearts every moment of every single day, today is a special day set aside for them. No matter if you sit quietly and reflect on the wonderful fun-and-love filled days with them, or maybe you are lighting a candle and flipping through a photo album filled with their photos, or even watching videos of them running and playing and enjoying life as part of your family.
There is saying that goes, "Where there is great love, there is great loss," and no truer words have held so much meaning. For when we have great love, the loss we know we will face one day, is equally great. The loss can render us numb in grief for a long time, in some ways for always.
When our last of the FiveSibes, pupster "Wolfie" was still with us, he, too, grieved for the loss of his pack family of Harley, Gibson, and siblings Chloe and Bandit. My grandson became his best buddy, and they spent many hours together. On one rainy day, as we sat out on the front porch together, I watch with so much love in heart as my grandson wrapped his arm around Wolfie, and together they watched a beautiful rainbow stretch across the sky. It touched my heart so much, it brought tears. I cherished their bond, especially since Wolfie was a very senior boy at this point, and he just loved my grandson. The flipside was I knew Wolfie's time with us was now very limited.
This birthed the idea for my newest book, Wolfie,WhatistheRainbow Bridge?

I thought today ~ Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day ~ would be a perfect time to share my new video about the book. I sure hope you enjoy, share, and buy our book for someone you know who could use this beautiful book to help their children who may have lost a beloved best furry friend. And...my grandson contributed to the story, which takes it from a child's point of view. It's never easy to talk about a pet passing, but it is my hope that this book will become a helpful tool. And if you buy it, please do share your photos!
Pawprints Left By You
by Teri Harrison
You no longer
greet me,
As I walk
through the door.
You’re not
there to make me smile,
To make me
laugh anymore.
Life seems
quiet without. You,
You were far
more than a pet.
You were a
family member, a friend,
A loving
soul I’ll never forget...
I still listen
for you,
And miss you
every day.
You were such a
great companion,
Constant,
loyal, and true.
My heart will
always wear,
The pawprints
left by you.
