LOSS OF A DOG

                                 By Dr. Carlile
                          If you've ever known the welcome
                             of a barking ball of hair
                                  a sloppy kiss
                                 a friendly paw
                               a quiet adoring stare
                          if you've ever had a special friend
                              to share a tear or two
                            or maybe just a wagging tail
                            to lift you when you're blue
                          If you've ever lost your troubles
                             in a joyful romp outside
                               or shared your fears
                                with listening ears
                              that never left your side
                        If you've ever felt the wrenching pain
                             that only death can send
                                then you have lost
                                 not just a dog
                             you've truly lost a friend
                          A loving God would not destroy
                              the love that He creates
                          so rest assured that you will find
                             you dog at Heaven's gate.
                                That joyful bark
                                 that sloppy kiss
                             will greet you once again
                          and share your love forevermore
                          your dog - - your precious friend
                     I thank God upin every remembrance of you.
                                 Philippians 1:3

POEM FOR DOG LOVERS

Hello. I've been expecting you for quite some time.
Here sit beside us for awhile and let me tell you about this old friend of mine.
She might look tattered or maybe old
But she has been the best friend I've had and I'm not ready to say goodbye until you've been told.
She had the brightest eyes I had ever seen
She wore the most beautiful fur coat that would out shine a queen
She was never prissy but walked with an aire
And oh so polite you could take her anywhere
She could run like the wind and could catch anything she chased
But she protected and sat with me when I had problems to face
You could not find a friend so dear
No matter the trouble she always was near
She has never asked for much from me
Just to love and respect her and I think you'll agree
That to give her a good meal and a warm bed is not much to ask
When she has given me more love than most anyone...to her it was not task
Now I understand you have a schedule to keep
But I have a small favor before she nods off to sleep,
Please fold your wings around her and let her feel young without any pain
Dear Guardian Angel of Pets keep her safe and happy until I see her again.
