My summer of the Rainbow Bridge

[Catherine]

Thank-you for your kind words. I am at peace about my animals passing, but it doesn't make it easy. I rehome animals that are getting old so they can have a safe place to pass. I want them to enjoy their last days. Some like Earl surprised me and lived five years and left me with a wonderful son who is so like him. Others, like Ella, seem happy to let go once they feel comfortable and secure. I think now she needed a quiet more private place to let go. Having other pine snakes to watch over her made her feel more secure.

It does feel right that Ella and Louis are together  again. They were a pair for many years. Daniel Pine is 8 years old and she wasn't their oldest or youngest child. 

Sam my corn snake has not been the same since his mate died a few months ago and I think he will join her soon.
A number of my little friends are going to cross the rainbow bridge this summer. I am going to do my best to make it peaceful for all of them.
