EMMIE CROSSES THE RAINBOW BRIDGE AUGUST 2016 (THINGS WEREN'T WHAT THEY SEEMED. PT 3 . . .)

CRUSA President Violetta Argueta writes: Within a couple of weeks of her arrival, Emmie experienced a seizure and for the next several months, despite extensive testing, she continued to have seizures every few weeks until we helped her to the Rainbow Bridge. While Emmie's plight might seem unbelievably sad, there is a silver lining. Emmie was fostered by the Shockey family of Illinois, a family of four who had never fostered before. But when they read of Emmie's plight, they decided they wanted to make a difference in the life of a needy Cairn. And make a difference they did! For five months, Emmie knew the love of a remarkable family, and even though the experience was difficult for sons Nolan and Evan, mom Jessica says that they would have never missed the experience of fostering and loving Emmie. Our thanks to the Shockey Family for making the difference in the lives of our Cairns. RAINBOW BRIDGE Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, 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, someone who was 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together . . . Author Unknown
