What do you pet lovers (and gardeners) think of this idea, a tribute bridge to those who have crossed over?

@lolakimono Having loved and been loved by many cats and sent them to heaven, I LOVE it. And for those dear ones who are no longer with us, too.

It's a beautiful tribute but sad to see so many names. It is a tribute to the love of pets.

I love it!!!  I have stepping stones and garden statues as tributes to my furry ones but none are personalized; that would be so personal and colorful.  When one of my dogs are ready to cross over to Rainbow Bridge, I tell them who will be there to great them.  Herck, I still miss the dogs from my childhood (which was way too many years ago) cause they were loved so much.

I'm surprised to say that I really like it.  As dearly as I've loved all my animals who have passed, I'm not one to keep their ashes or memorialize them in some way.  I don't have those plaques or stones in my garden or anything like that, but I think this is clever and I like it!

It is a sweet idea but for me it would just make me sad and wish all over again that they were here with me.

I like to think that I can be with their spirit every day, and that, you cannot see. I like to keep them in my heart I guess.

Not that someone can't do both but I hope you know what I mean.

I talked to one of my sons about my dog. If I go first, he'll take my dog. If my dog goes first, he'll be cremated and some of his cremains will be added to mine.  

 

My neighbor is an artist. She painted a beautiful portrait of my dog and gave it to me. I'll always have his sweet face.
