Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. It is to remember and celebrate the fur babies waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. I thought of my Miss Annie and my childhood dog named Hiccups. There are others also who have brought joy to our lives and then left us. Who is waiting there for you? What is your favorite memory of them?

I did not know, there are many animals I loved that I would like to meet again one day.

Are they cats, dogs, or something else?

@LadyDuck I almost forgot. I should have a duck there also. I wonder if she would recognize me or I would know which she was. Mine was a white Pekin.

We've had a few cats that we were very fond of - and of course Hercules, our sheep.

@JudyEv He looks so content and tame. Is he always like this or does he have his moments?

Yeah, cats grow on you. You had a pet sheep? How interesting!

@akalinus I wrote about Hercules on here quite a lot. Here he is with a Swedish couch-surfer who stayed with us for a day or two.

@LovingMyBabies Ridgebacks are wonderful dogs. A friend had one since it was a pup. It was a rescue dog. It was really good-natured and a loving dog.

Rascal and Pip are waiting for me. Rascal was the epitome of his name. A pure rascal through and through. Pip would growl at people, and when I admonished her, she hung her head and smiled - I gotcha. She made me laugh as much as Rascal did. The picture is Pip.

Pip is a funny dog. What a look she has on her face, especially her eyes.

@just4him Is she expecting a person or just waiting for dinner or a treat?

@akalinus That's expectation. She's looking at the kitchen door. Yes, she was funny.

@akalinus I don't have pets.But a stray bull comes in front of our house every night.I feel he keeps waiting for me.Every night when I return home ,I find him standing or sitting there.On seeing me he moves towards me, and I give him something to eat - some rice or bread etc.He eats and leaves.If I am out of the town,he keeps sitting there and leaves in the morning.I feel he keeps waiting for me.

How interesting! A bull adopted you and you feed him. Why did he pick you?

@Shivram59 I don't understand that but there are many things that I don't understand.

@akalinus Ask him.One reason,I think,is that I love cows and bulls and,perhaps,he knows it.We Hindus consider cows and bulls holy animals.

Memories can make us happy and make us hurt at the same time.

@CarolDM There is always something that pops up unexpectedly that reminds you. It hurts.

Was Coco a cat or dog? It is not fair that animals don't live as long as we do. I hope we get to see them in the great bye and bye.

@akalinus Traveling down to our cottage, they would sleep in the car but as soon as we pulled onto our street both of them were up and excited. They just knew when we got there.

@BelleStarr Dogs are like that. Dogs also know when you are coming home. Even before your car rounds the corner, the dog knows you are coming. I don't know how, but they do.

I don't have any pets like yours. Feel sad to hear the story.
