In memory

Dog heaven is a special place

My tail is wagging fast

With all the things we dogs enjoy

I'm having such a blast.

 

Each night when I look in my dish

I get filet mignon for dinner

Never that dry stuff or stale meat

No cereal or filler.

 

So many other dogs are here

I never get dog lonely

It never takes me long at all

To find that night's "one and only".

We have so many balls to chase

I'm getting so much fitter

With water flowing everywhere

Always sweet and never bitter.

 

Sometimes it looks like Star Wars

When I stare into the sky

It isn't UFO's I see

But countless frisbees passing by.

 

The firemen here all love the place

A perfect spot they can retire

With one hundred hydrants for each dog

They'll never have a fire!

 

Cars with windows lowered

Pass by me on the street

With dog ears flapping from each one

It makes me feel complete.

 

Yet in this perfect playground

Doing all I love to do

I find I'm often thinking back

Of all the times I spent with you.

 

There could be no kinder owner

We always had so much fun

Don't forget that I had seven years

Every time that you had one.

 

You always gave me so much love

Such kindness and attention

You deserve an owner's blue ribbon

Not just an honorable mention.

 

So please keep my memory active

In the morning when you eat

As you're chewing on your bagel

I'll be sitting at your feet.
