Description

HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR

My best friend closed her eyes last night,
And her head was in my hand.
The Doctors said she was in pain,
And it was hard for her to stand.

The thoughts that scurried through my head,
As I cradled her in my arms.
Were of her younger, puppy years,
And OH...her many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart that's filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.

But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, "You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,
HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!

Thanks for the words of sympathy. I got a little plaster cast of her paw print from the vet the other day in the mail. What a kind thing to do. #8694141
