“A Little Dog Angel”
by Noah M. Holland

High up in the courts of heaven today
a little dog angel waits;
with the other angels he will not play,
but he sits alone at the gates.
“For I know my master will come” says he,
“and when he comes he will call for me.”

The other angels pass him by
As they hurry toward the throne,
And he watches them with a wistful eye
as he sits at the gates alone.
“But I know if I just wait patiently
that someday my master will call for me.”

And his master, down on earth below,
as he sits in his easy chair,
forgets sometimes, and whispers low
to the dog who is not there.
And the little dog angel cocks his ears
and dreams that his master’s voice he hears.

And when at last his master waits
outside in the dark and cold,
for the hand of death to open the door,
that leads to those courts of gold,
he will hear a sound through the gathering dark,
a little dog angel’s bark.

We’ll see each other again, my best friend. I love you, Sheero.

Sheero passed away last Friday, 26 October 2007 at 6:25pm. She had a cardiac arrest leading to a coma, which in turn led to her passing.

I can’t tell you how much pain I am in right now. I wouldn’t even try to.

Sheero, I love you.

Sheero’s very sick. Please pray for her…

Yesterday, I finally got my movie fix—I haven’t been out of the house for more than a month because of my work load. So, after my torture, Marc (my husband) and I decided to dine and relax at Eastwood City Walk since it’s the closest to our house. That’s when I found out about a pet blessing to be held on Sunday, 430pm at Eastwood City.

In celebration of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, there will be a parade of the saint’s image together with pet owners and their beloved animals. A mass will follow, then the pet blessing. Marc and I are planning to bring Sheero along, since she’s the only dog we have who can manage to stay well-behaved at events where there are a lot of people—she’s a real “party animal!” Besides, she likes going there
Hopefully by Sunday, Sheero will become a bona fide Roman Catholic hehehe.

See you there!
