IN MEMORIAM
Saturday will be the one year anniversary of the day we lost our dog, Spooky (a.k.a. Puppy) to cancer. I don't know whether or not heaven exists, but if it does, I've always pictured the conversation between God and Puppy going something like this ...
INT. KITCHEN - DAY
GOD is dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and tennis shoes. He -- or She -- is putting away groceries, washing dishes, and performing miscellaneous kitchen-type tasks. PUPPY is watching intently.
PUPPY: Where am I?
GOD: You are in heaven.
PUPPY: Why am I here?
GOD: You died.
PUPPY: I was sick.
GOD: You were very sick.
PUPPY: Will I go back?
GOD: No, I'm sorry.
PUPPY: What will I do?
GOD: You will stay here with me, and I will take care of you.
PUPPY: What about my people?
GOD: They will think about you always.
PUPPY: I will miss them.
GOD: They will miss you ... more than you know.
PUPPY: They loved me.
GOD: Very much.
PUPPY: Will you run with me?
GOD: Every day.
PUPPY: Will I get Greenies?
GOD: As many as you want.
PUPPY: Okay, I guess I'll stay then.
GOD: (smiling) I'm glad.
We miss you, buddy.

Puppy heaven:
Endless fields of green grass and butterflies. Lots of interesting sights and sounds. Everything is new again.

Who said he hasn't?
TL,
April of '06 and May of '07 we lost 2 of our 3 family dogs.
Sincere thanks for bringing back memories of the 'Pretty Girl' and the 'Best Boy'.
Dogs are the coolest. :)
Edgar - Puppy heaven sounds like a great place. I hope I get to go there some day :)
MCConf - Yeah, our lives were just too quiet and sad without a dog around. Here's a picture of our new one ==> http://www.edhat.com/site/tidbit.cfm?id=848&pic=pics-011&event=WakeUpWendy
eight santa barbara - Dogs are definitely the coolest. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of yours.
Thanks for making us tear-up before Christmas.
May sweet Spooky rest in peace.
cute! what kind of dog is (s)he?
it's been about six months since i was forced by spousal mandate to give up our eskimo, the Dude. i still miss him dearly and think about him all the time. i think he would've been great around the baby, who is now eight months old, but alas he's moved on, hopefully to a guy that loved him as much as i did.

We were told that he's a pug/schipperke mix.
I'm sorry that you had to give up your dog. Maybe you'll be able to get another some day. Life seems richer with a dog in it.
Sweet post TL. Puppy was lucky to live is such a loving home.
