Found in another group and reposted here:

An interesting day at the Rainbow Bridge.


Rainbow Bridge is a place of both peace and anticipation as departed pets
await their beloved owners. There are plenty of things to keep them
contented while they wait: trees you can't get stuck in, endless meadows,
splashing streams, thickets perfect to hide in for pounce- attack games.


But one day the residents noticed some rather... unusual newcomers arrive.


The koalas and the kangaroos slipped in rather quietly, but then came the
bearded dragons, the skinks and the goannas. The influx of snakes startled
an entire family of cats up a tree. Pythons, cobras, tiger snakes, brown
snakes and even fierce snakes. There were so many at one point, it seemed
the ground itself was alive with writhing. A burly wombat shouldered his
way through the crowd and plopped down in a shady spot, barely missing a
Jack Russell terrier who yapped indignantly as he abandoned his position.


And then the crocodiles showed up.


Finally, a Great Dane managed to get up enough nerve to approach one of
the reptillian giants.


"Um....excuse me," he said hesitantly. "But why are you all here?"


The croc dropped her jaw and laughed. "Same as you, mate," she said.
"Waitin' for someone who loved us."


The dogs, cats, gerbils and other "typical pets" looked at each other in
confusion, then at the plethora of weird, ugly and downright deadly
creatures assembled. Who on Earth could possibly love some of those faces?


"I see him!" shouted a green mamba from his vantage point in one of the
trees. A cacophony of squeeks, hisses, bellows and roars erupted as the mob
surged forward toward a lone human walking across the field toward the
bridge. The other animals managed to catch a glimpse of him before he was
overwhelmed by the crowd.


"CRIKEY!" he shouted joyously right before he was bowled over by the
wombat.


"Well I'll be," said a Persian as she tidied up her fur. "It's that Aussie
my human liked to watch on TV. Had to be the craziest human on the whole
planet."


"Oh, please," remarked a echidna as he hurried by. "Is it really that that
crazy to passionately love something God made?"

I never really thought the death of someone I've never met could be this hard for me, but I'm still getting over it.

Thanks Lilith for a great take on the Rainbow Bridge. The RB is for all of God's creatures, not just furry pets. Although Steve's voice kind of annoyed me, I miss him. He was one hell of a human being who is sorely missed.

I love Steve Irwin. For as long as I live, I will. And, I will make sure my children grow up watching his shows, too. He has left a legacy that will never be forgotten.
