Terri Pike has created a beautifully animated "Flash" version of the Rainbow Bridge story: Here

On Monday evenings all across the globe we light candles in memory of our pets. It is a very healing ritual with no adherence to any religion or creed, just a simple lighting of candles to bring us all together.
While there is an on-line Ceremony in our Chat Room every Monday, the Candle Ceremony does not have to be done on-line. Each of us can light our candles in our own way, and privately, but since we share a common love and since most of us do light them at the same time, we are joined in love and in spirit.

Candle lighting times are...
In USA:
10 PM Eastern
9 PM Central
8 PM Mountain
7 PM Pacific
6 PM Alaska
5 PM Hawaii

We also have online lists of the pets we honor in the Monday Candle Ceremony:
The Bridgelist for those pets who have passed on to the Rainbow bridge and the Special Needs list for those pets who are ill or have special physical needs.
