I still dream of the little dog
I had as a child
Like her spirit has followed me
Carefree and wild
And she comes when I need her
With her comfort so mild
Oh what a faithful companion
To have as a child!
If there really is heaven
To await when we die
A true re-communion
With souls passing by
If I came to those gates
There is one thing Iād cry
Let me rest here a moment
With my companion nearby!

“Let me rest here a moment
With my companion nearby!” all who have lost furbabies can relate.
Thanks so much!! š š
The thing that put me off being a Christian for good was that, according to the Bible, animals don’t have souls. I figured if they didn’t have eternal souls and a place in heaven, then I don’t want one either.
Fair enough, for my part I think they have souls too!! š š
Loved this. Reowr!
Thanks so much!!! š š
For we with canine companions (past and present), this is very warming. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! š š
This is so sweet, Helen. I, too, had a dog as a child that I remember fondly and miss often. She was awesome! Thanks for writing this! “D
Thanks Skye – I really miss my little companion, even to this day!! š š

I will stand on the rainbow bridge and see my furbabies again…….someday. They never really leave you… there’s a place where they reside in your heart forever š
Absolutely, dear Sis!! š š xxx
