<>For all of us who loved the passion and intensity of Steve Irwin, this
email came along tonight, and I thought it was fitting to post. I don't
know who wrote it, so one can assume you could share it with any animal
lover you know.
The <>Rainbow Bridge is a place of both peace and anticipation as
departed pets await their beloved owners. There are plenty of things to
keep them contented while they wait: trees you can't get stuck in,
endless meadows, splashing streams, thickets perfect to hide in for
pounce-attack games.
<>But one day the residents noticed some rather...unusual newcomers
arrive.
The koalas and the kangaroos slipped in rather quietly, but then came
the bearded dragons, the skinks and the goannas. The influx of snakes
startled an entire family of cats up a tree. Pythons, cobras, tiger
snakes, brown snakes and even fierce snakes. There were so manyatone
point, it seemed the ground itself was alive with writhing. A burly
wombat shouldered his way through the crowd and plopped down in a shady
spot, barely missing a Jack Russell terrier who yapped &g t; indignantly
as he abandoned his position. And then, the crocodiles showed up.
Finally, a Great Dane managed to get up enough nerve to approach one
of the reptilian giants. <>"Um....excuse me," he said hesitantly. "But
why are you all here?" The croc dropped her jaw and laughed. "Same
as you, mate," she said. "Waitin' for someone who loved us."
<> The dogs, cats, gerbils and other "typical pets" looked at each
other in confusion, then at the plethora of weird, ugly and downright
deadly creatures assembled. Who on Earth could possibly love some of
those faces? <>
"I see him!" shouted a green mamba from his vantage point in one of
the trees. A cacophony of squeaks, hisses, bellows and roars erupted as
the mob surged forward toward a lone human walking across the field
toward the bridge.
The other animals managed to catch a glimpse of him before he was
overwhelmed by the crowd. <>
"CRIKEY!" he shouted joyously right before he was bowled over by the
wombat. <>
"Well I'll be," said a Persian as she tidied up her fur. "It's that
Aussie my human liked to watch on TV. Had to be the craziest human on
the whole planet." <>
"Oh, please," remarked a echidna as he hurried by. "Is it really that
that crazy to passionately love something God made?"
