    "Your Rainbow Bridge is going to be standing room only!" - Part 4

    One morning, after a particularly "grim" night shift, the ER veterinarian gave me a pep slap on the shoulder, smiled, and said, "Your Rainbow Bridge is going to be standing room only!" I will forever cherish the image that came to mind. By the time I finished my four years at the local emergency clinic, and several months with Auburn University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital, I was WELL VERSED in all things death, dying, coping, and not coping.

    I have always had a curious relationship with Death. The first memory I have of a pet dying happened when I was about 5 years old. I had a pet frog, which I kept in a red pail. I was sitting outside on a cement patio staring at my sunbathing friend when my little brother, aged 3, came running out the back door with his blue velcro sneakers on and stepped on my little frog, right in front of me. When he raised his foot, the frog heaved up like a twisted accordion. I refused to
