Monty! Where did you go?

Hi, this is Maza and I am afraid I have some rather bad news to share.

I woke up this morning and Monty's cage was empty!

During my sleep I heard Nick talking to someone about what happened to Monty. He was so sad. Monty was sick the last couple of days. Last night they tried to give him water through a syringe. The vet would return from his vacations today and Nick was going to visit him with Monty, but I guess they were late.

Nick said that Monty passed away this night, but I know better. Monty went to the Rainbow Bridge, waiting for us so we can all cross it together. But until then I feel so lonely....

Goodbye Monty,
Me, Nick and everyone that met you will never forget you. Visit us in a dream soon.

Your fat princess,
Maza

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. 

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. 

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. 

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
