Loss of Pet Poem

Poem about our family Jack Russell called Mindy


Mindy

You were your Daddy’s little girl
A friend so good and true
You brought so much joy to our family
We loved you through and through.

You were a big part of our family
For nigh on thirteen years
But now you’ve gone and left us
With nothing but our tears

No more to see your little face
Pop up over the settee.
No more to see your pleading eyes
As we sit and eat our tea.

No more the Sunday ‘walkies’
Around lake Wintersett
Or the yearly hated health check
At the nearby Newberry’s Vet.


I will miss our daily jaunts.
And your little waddle as you walked.
And my little conversations shared
In a high pitched child like voice.

We hope you did not suffer
As your life it ebbed away.
As in God’s great big garden
You now run and sniff and play.

God bless you little friend
In our hearts you’ll always stay.
Not just for now or until next week
But until our dying day.

Here's one from me

DOG In Heaven with GOD?

An old man and his dog out walking
Came to the "Welcome to Heaven" sign
The gatekeeper said. "Dogs aren't allowed
But come in old chap, you're just fine"


Said the man "If he can't come in,
Then I'll stay out too"
"Ok but the devil will promise you anything
But he'll only let in you"

The old man and dog went on.
They came to a place with no gate or stile,
Said the old man "Mind if we come in
And sit in the shade for awhile?"

"Come in. Make yourselves comfortable"
"My dog can come in? Is that true?"
The man said "Welcome to Heaven.
And to the dog he said "especially, my namesake, to you"

"You mean this is Heaven?
Dogs ARE allowed? Is that so?
How come that Heaven just down the road
Said they weren't, they said a definite no?"

"That, dear Sir, was the Devil
And he really doesn't play fair
Dogs, they can all come here,
Fickle, disloyal people, they stay there!"

GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be banned
HE created them to be man's best friend
Why would he separate a man and his dog
When their lives finally reach an end?

Of course, both lives rarely end together
So when he goes, take your time to grieve
Then, when it's your turn, expect a welcome
That only a dog can achieve
