Owner wrote this after their dog crossed the rainbow bridge

A comment someone wrote after losing their dog.

Hey baby. Be careful crossing that bridge, okay?

Take your time. Stop and chew some grass along the way, chase some butterflies, wander wherever you want. There's no rush.

If it rains, find a tree and rest in the shade for a bit. That's okay.

If you get thirsty, there's a stream nearby. Go drink. Take all the time you need.

And all that chicken and chips I never let you have? Eat as much as you want now. All of it.

Pee wherever you feel like it. Chew up every single shirt button if you want to.

Just get there safely. And then, someday way, WAY down the road, when the family who loved you finally comes across that bridge too... bark your loudest bark. The biggest one you've got.

Tell us you missed us. Tell us we weren't too late.

Wag your tail like crazy and don't let go this time. No more goodbyes after that.

Every single moment we had together was precious. Every one.

I just want to say one more thing.

I love you.

Be safe, okay. Get there safe.

I'll be living well while I wait for the day I get to see you again.
