===== Kritterlandusa.... Home of Some of the Happiest and Greatest Little Creatures of God.... Gone but far from forgotten: SKRIPER, DUKE and KING, along with the others waiting at the Rainbow Bridge!Hi Folks:

It is always a sad time when one of us loses one of our little buddies.... Others sometimes cannot

understand how one could miss or grieve one of these little Creatures of God. Many of us already know and many of you are learning how these little fella can "tug at your heartstrings"...

These little angels are so very forgiving creatures and appreciate the love and care you give them. They don't ask for that much, in return of all the joy and entertainment they bring into our lives. Any loss of one of our guysleaves a void... but all should not end. Saddness can turn to a smile.... Look up in the dark sky... the night of your loss... you will no doubt see a new bright star... shining down upon you. Take these words and let them comfort you (they have comforted many a crabber over the years...) See below and enjoy! Happy Crabbing......CLD :

"RAINBOW BRIDGE":

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 whowas 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...
