The Rainbow Bridge

Saying goodbye to our beloved GGA greyhounds who crossed the Rainbow Bridge is never easy. Their presence brought joy and love into our lives, and their memory will forever be cherished. May the happiness they brought continue to live on in our hearts as we honour and remember them fondly. Their paw prints will forever remain imprinted on our souls.

After Angel Wally passed away in 2023, GGA transitioned from Chef Wally Wednesdays to Wellness Wednesdays. These social media posts now focus on supporting those grieving the loss of beloved pets, addressing themes of grief, loss, and coping strategies.

The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal 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 the animals who had been ill and 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 of days and times gone by.

The animals are 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 one day, one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.

His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers.

Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in a 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....
