I Knew This Day Would Come

I knew this day would come. What I didn't know was how I would deal with it. I didn't do well at all so...

For Keerah

If there's a doggy heaven,
Then I know that's where you are,
About a billion miles away,
Standing on a star.

It's a doggy paradise;
No fences and no leads.
There won't be any do's or don'ts.
You can do just as you please.

There'll be lots of bones to chew
And lots of holes to dig.
There'll be lots of other dogs--
Both little ones and big!

You can romp and play with new-found friends
Forever, don't you see?
So, why are you sitting at the gate?
Are you waiting there for me?

Aww, Howard that is lovely! Made me cry! It does get a little easier with time. It has been just over two years now since we lost Jazz, we still talk about her, remember all the things she did. We even had some photos out the other day! Sending hugs to you.
