Two Old Dogs… (for TigerzzRoar)

It’s always tough saying goodbye to an old faithful friend.
Thought this poem might help. Tough day ahead for you; my heart is with you…
TWO OLD DOGS
Two old dogs out doing chores.
One on two legs, one on four.
Side by side, they water and feed.
Caring for other's daily need.
Two old dogs make their rounds
Well worn paths on familiar ground.
To greet the day or say goodnight
Side by side, their friendship tight.
Two old dogs with dish and pail.
Singing songs and wagging tail.
Slower now, than in the past
But that just makes the good time last.
Two old dogs, both muzzles grey.
Aging joints sometimes curb play.
Companionship a simple joy.
His old dad; Dad’s old boy.
Two old dogs, and then one day
One old dog has gone away.
The other left to carry on
Two legs to barn and field and pond.
One old dog, eyes full of tears
Can still feel his old friend walking near
A reminder in the morning dew.
Just one path, instead of two.
When one old dog has no more chores
And walks through heaven’s golden doors
He’ll see that face he can’t forget.
A kindred spirit, not just a pet.
So many old dogs, made whole; anew
Reunion of a loyal crew.
Never again to be apart.
Many souls. But just one heart.
By Jeff Pillars of Pillars of Truth

Man, I lost 2 of my “boys” over a 3 month period - both lived long and happy lives.
My wife always says “I’ll never have another dog - EVER!” We have two of the best “boys”
ever now!
I just tell her to love them 7 times more than normal and to make every walk, zoomie, and
every trip to the vet count.
My heart and prayers are with you today…

Thanks for posting.
No matter how stressful, tiring a day i'm having, it's made better when I return home and my dog is always there to greet me.

Furnace coming on must’ve kicked up the dust. Got some in both eyes!
The poem and the unconditional love nails it. #### tough saying goodbye.

Great poem, thanks for sharing. I had several dogs as pets

growing up, although I haven't had any as a married adult. Some of that comes from still remembering the pain of losing the boyhood ones, some from not feeling like I have a safe environment for an outside dog, and not really wanting an "inside" dog.
But one thing I do believe. Dogs go to Heaven, too. Whatever form any of us take when we get there, I do believe those beloved pets will be there to greet us. If Heaven is on a whole other plane above as compared to life here on earth, they have to be. As I say in Sunday School Class often, there are some questions we will only get the absolute answers to when we have "Seen Beyond the Veil". My personal belief is that there are tails wagging in anticipation of the arrival of old friends, right now.
Amen.
