Mike & Kelly, I have thought about you all day with tears in my eyes, like you I lost one of my dear best friends a few years ago to liver shunt, I know the pain and heartbreak, a special friend sent this to me after my Tucker passed away, I would love to share it with, it does easy the pain some to know where he is. God be with you my friend.
HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR
My best friend closed his eyes last
night, As his head was in my hand.
The Doctors said he was in pain,
And it was hard for him to stand.
The thoughts that scurried through
my head, As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And OH...his many charms.
Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart thats 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"! --- Jan Cooper --- 1995
