My friend sent this to me & I wanted to post it & share it with all of you.It touched my heart.

The reason I am posting it here is because of the title:
""WELCOME AT RAINBOW BRIDGE

> On the morning of September 11, 2001, there was an unprecedented
> amount of activity at the Rainbow Bridge. Decisions had to be made.
> They had to be made quickly. And, they were.

> An issue, not often addressed here, is the fact that many residents
> really have no loved one for whom to wait. Think of the pups who lived
> and died in hideous puppy mills. No one on earth loved or protected
> them. What about the many who spent unhappy lives tied in backyards?
> And, the ones who were abused, Who are they to wait for?
>
> We don't talk about that much up here. We share our loved ones as they
> arrive, happy to do so. But we all know there is nothing like having
> your very own person who thinks you are the most special pup in the
> Heavens.
>
> Last Tuesday morning a request rang out for pups not waiting for
> specific persons to volunteer for special assignment.. An eager,
> curious crowd surged excitedly forward, each pup wondering what the
> assignment would be.
>
> They were told by a solemn voice that unexpectedly, all at once, over
> 4,000 loving people had left Earth long before they were ready. All
> the pups, as all pups do, felt the humans' pain deep in their own
> hearts. Without hearing more, there was a clamoring among them - "May
> I have one to comfort?"
> "I'll take two, I have a big heart." "I have been saving kisses
> forever."
>
> One after another they came forward begging for assignment. One
> cozy-looking fluffy pup hesitantly asked, "Are there any children
> coming? I would be very comforting for a child 'cause I'm soft and
> squishy and I always wanted to be hugged." A group of Dalmatians came
> forward asking to meet the Firemen and be their friends. The larger
> working breeds offered to greet the Police Officers and make them feel
> at home. ! Little dogs volunteered to do what they do best, cuddle and
> kiss.
>
> Dogs who on Earth had never had a kind word or a pat on the head,
> stepped forward and said, "I will love any human who needs love."
>
> Then all the dogs, wherever on Earth they originally came from, rushed
> to the Rainbow Bridge and stood waiting, overflowing with love to
> share - each tail wagging an American Flag.
