I was driving around with my boyfriend yesterday, looking for somewhere new to eat when we drove by this new petstore. It was called 'The Rainbow
Bridge'. Well I cracked up laughing. As many of you probably know, the rainbow bridge is supposed to be the place animals go when they die. Bad name choice!

That isn't what I associate it with--there is a rainbow bridge down by Lake Powell in Southern Utah--it used to be that you could pull your boat right up to the arch. As the nasty resivoir receeds it is getting to be more and more of a hike. All I can say is "SAVE GLEN CANYON!"

Huh Ive never heard of that about the rainbow bridge. When I hear there name I instantly think of the bridge that goes accross the Niagara River right next to Niagara falls and connects the US and Canada. The mist from the falls make a rainbow when the sun is out hence the name. IMO it is a wierd name for a pet store regardless.

Heres a link to the poem...

It is kinda odd they would name a pet store that....

Maybe they dont know about the poem ... Print it out and take it to them, they may decide to change the store name..lol

It would have made a much better name for a pet cemetery. You'd think that anyone naming a store would google the name and see what comes up!

When I hear the term, it makes me think of the rainbow bridge Bifrost in Norse mythology. It always brings up a twisted image of myself and my departed cats being summoned to do battle with the Jotun at Ragnarok. Yo-ho!
