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...

Keiko was a Mix between Labrador, Karelian Bear Dog and German shepherd and maybe something else.. 
He was a lovely dog, he died this easter from heart failure, the vet thought it was kennel cough.
He died in my arms after beeing sick for a week.
I still miss him so much

Jeg stryker over din gylne pels,

men halen din slår ikke mer.

Øynene dine er lukket igjen,

over øyne som ikke ser.

Ditt gylne hjerte har sluttet å slå -

aldri mer løpe, hoppe, gå-

Alt er slutt…., det er over nå

Jeg legger hodet mitt ned mot ditt,

og tårene drypper som blod.

Aldri mer skal det bli som før -

aldri mer ”oss to”.

Som isende kulde inni meg,

kjenner jeg noe dør med deg.

Jeg må reise meg, sier de, - jeg går mot en dør.

Der ute går livet videre som før.

Jeg snur meg – du ligger så livløs og stille.

Du kan ikke komme, selv om du ville.

Skriket vil ut, men jeg lukker min munn.
