My beloved Prince,an australian sheperd just 18 months old,passed away without pain one spring day.As he watched from the bushes as mommy and daddy owered his body in the grave,he only felt sadness for them."Why does my mommy cry so?Why does daddy's heart grieve so?" is his only thought."Do not worry my Prince" says Jesus."I will comfort them,and let them know I will always care for you."

Prince runs with Jesus into that wonderful place at the rainbow bridge.He sees Star,Shalom,Princess,and all the pets mom and dad loved so much as well but gone on before."Welcome Prince!" they tell him."Thank you!So nice to finally meet you" is his reply.Looking behind him,he sees he now has a full tail.He wastes no time wagging it wildly with joy.

He also sees Lily,the baby goat mommy so dearly loved,but was also taken to soon."Welcome Prince!" she says.Instead of chasing her,they jump and run through the medows together,laughing.The others join them.They never got tired,or out of breath.It felt wonderful!

Two children run up to the group.They were Lauren and Karen,mommy's infant aunt and cousin that she'd never gotten to meet."This is great!Welcome Prince!" they say.Prince was afraid of children on earth,but not anymore."Thank you" says Prince.As Lauren and Karen hug his neck,he licks their faces,wagging his new tail.All is happy.

"One day,mommy and daddy will join us.We will no longer be separated.Untill then,we must always look after them from heaven,sending our love" says Prince."Yes,we will always" reply the children and pets.The sunshine they send dries not only the tears on their face,but the tears in there hearts.
