It takes us back to brighter years,
to happier sunlit days
and to precious moments
that will be with us always.
And these fond recollections
are treasured in the heart to bring us always close to those\from whom we had to part.
There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above.
It keeps our dear ones near us
It's the bridge that we call love.
When God had made the earth and sky,
The flowers and the trees.
He then made all the animals,
The fish, the birds and bees,
And when at last He'd finished,
Not one was quite the same.
He said, "I'll walk this world of mine,
And give each one a name."
And so he traveled far and wide
And everywhere He went,
A little creature followed HIm
Until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
And in the sky and sea.The little creature said, "Dear Lord,
There's not one left for me."
Kindly the Father said to him,
"I've left you to the end.
I've turned my own name back to front
And called you dog, my friend."

When dogs go to heaven, they don't need wings because God knows that dogs love running best.
He gives them fields, fields and fields.
When a dog first arrives in heaven, she just runs.
Dog heaven has clear,wide lakes filled with geese who honk and teese.
The dogs love this. They run beside the water and bark and bark and God watches them from behind a tree and smiles.
There are children of course. Angel children.
God knows that dogs love children more than anything else in the world, so he fills Dog Heaven with plenty of them. There are children on bikes and children on sleds.There are children throwing red rubber balls and children pulling kites through the clouds.
The dogs are there, and the children love them dearly.
And ,oh,the dog biscuits!! Biscuits and biscuits in funny shapes for his dogs.
There are kitty biscuits and squirrel biscuits. Ice-cream biscuits and sausage biscuits.
Every angel that passes by has a biscuit for a dog.
And of course, all God's dogs sit when the angels say "sit".
Every dog becomes a good dog in heaven.
God turns clouds inside out to make fluffy beds for the dogs in Dog Heaven, and when they are tired from running and barking and eating susage biscuits, the dogs each find a cloud bed for sleeping.
They turn around and around in the cloud ..until it feels just right and they curl up and go to sleep.
God watches over each one of them and there are no bad dreams.
Dogs in heaven have almost always belonged to somebody on earth and, of course, the dog remembers this. Heaven is full of memories.
So sometimes an angel will walk a dog back to earth for a little visit and quietly, invisibly
the dog will sniff his old stomping grounds, will invisibly chase the little dog next door,
follow her child to school, will sit at the front porch and wait for the mailman.
When he is satisfied that all is well, the dog will return to heaven with the angel.
It is where the dogs belong, near God who made them.
Dogs that had no real home on earth are given one in Heaven.
Each dog is petted and reminded how good she or he is, all day long.
Dogs in heaven can stay as long as they like and this can be forever.
They will be there when old friends show up. They will be there waiting at the door.
