Four feet in Heaven

Your favorite place is vacant now, no eager barks to greet me.
No softly padded paws to run ecstatically to meet me.
No animated nudges, no exited bark will say it’s time for feeding –
I’ve put away your bowl and all the things you won’t be needing.
But I will miss you, little friend, for I could never measure
The happiness you brought to me, the comfort and the pleasure.
And since God put you here to share in earthly joy and sorrow,
I’m sure there’ll be a place for you in Heaven’s bright tomorrow!
