Good Dogs Go To Heaven

She had four long legs and a curved tail
with a smile that made you happy
She had big ears and eyes full of care
and ways that were fun and sappy
She had a big heart and a loud bark
She could look dumb but be so smart
She was loyal and true
She could chase away the blues
and she always knew
that I loved her too
I miss her so
Hard to let her go
Good dogs go to Heaven
she will be waiting for me at the Pearly Gates
Peter will let us in
She jumps with joy as I hug my friend
asking with those big soft eyes
trying to keep mine dry
why are you so late
it's hard for a dog to wait

Fritz: You already know the truth but you might enjoy reading another's idea. "Our Lovely Dog Snickers" supports your thoughts. Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

This is a "Wonderful" write. I love it. Have you read about the "Rainbow Bridge (pets)????" It is on Wikipedia. I can't wait to see it. Enjoy your day writing away with blessings..................

What a sweet, loving tribute to your dog! As someone who just lost two elderly cats, I can relate. Congrats on your lifetime membership!
