A lovely wee poem we wanted to share on this special Remembrance Day🐾❤️

To the memory of silent footsteps
That beside us once did fall
We pause but for a moment
And in reverence do recall

For the hand that held the leash
They served our country well
Therefore we who do remain
Will their stories ever tell.

Some did come home
Along with us, tails held high
While others left empty collars
And in foreign soil now silently they lie

They are forever our guardian angels
Clad in soft and coloured fur
As present now in our hearts
As they ever and always were.

- To The War Dog by Christopher Dion

Rainbow Bridge: Where our animals go when they fall asleep for the last time…

Earlier this week, we were kindly donated these lovely children’s books which have a moving and uplifting story to melt our hearts and help us all deal with the very difficult grief of losing a special companion.

We would like to thank the author and donator for thinking of us and allowing us to have a few copies to show in our Farewell Room here at Borders Pet Crematorium here in Melrose.💚🌈🐾

These books are available to buy on Amazon from the author: Ellie Linden

It is with a very heavy heart that I write this post to let everyone know that our beloved Snowbell, our oldest Rescue Reindeer, sadly passed away yesterday. We feel lucky to have been able to care for her and have her in our lives for over 16 years, it is a comfort to know all 3 of our ‘original’ Rescue Reindeer Tinkerbell, Magnus and Snowbell are all together again over the Rainbow Bridge. Rest In Peace Snowbell🤍

“Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When a beloved pet passes that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the 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 of the pets who had been ill or old are restored to health and vigour. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams.

The pets are very happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Their bright eyes are intent, their eager body quivers, suddenly they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying them 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 the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together…”
