A Special Place for Sassy

 
"A dog is nothing but a furry person."

Yesterday was a tough day for daughter,  Tammi,  and her family.  They had to say “good-bye” to a family member ~~ their family pet, Sassy.  Sassy had been part of their family for almost eleven years.  If you've ever had a pet you've loved, you know how much they miss her.

GOD also loves our canine friends, HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!


You have a special place, Dear Lord
  that I know you'll always keep
A special place reserved for dogs
  when they quietly fall asleep

With large and airy kennels
  and a yard for hiding bones
With maybe a little babbling creek
  that chatters over stones.

With wide green fields and flowers
  for those who never knew
about running freely under
  Your sky of perfect blue.

I know You keep this Special Place
  And so to you I Pray,
For one special Sassy
quietly died today.

So, speak to Sassy softly please
  And give her a warm hello.
She's a special gift to you Dear Lord
From the family who loved her so.

  1. I just hate to hear news like this. Of course, I am one of those that likes most dogs better than most people.

  4. OK, So the post title threw me for a minute there !!

    Oh I've cried buckets of tears losing three previous dogs over the years. The first one was by far the worst.

    But now that it's just Bennie & me, well when his time comes it sure will be devastating.

    Tell your Daughter we dog lovers sure know what she's going through.
