Is there life after dog?

I found this poem today and it brought a tear to my eye...not sure if I was inspired by the poor dead puppy I saw limp and lifeless in the road on the way back from taking C to school, or by my sadness over missing Ruby...nevertheless, here it is, enjoy:

God Made Dog
When God made the earth and sky,
The flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
And all the birds and bees,
And When his work was finished
Not one was quite the same.
He said, "I'll walk this earth of mine
And give each a name."

And so he traveled land and sea
And everywhere he went
A little creature followed Him
Until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
And in the sky and sea,
The little creature said,
"Dear Lord,There is not one left for me."
The Father smiled and softly said
"I've left you to the end.
I've turned my own name back to front
And call you Dog, my friend."

Sorry 'bout the fight with E. Just remember to choose your battles carefully when engaging in combat with an "only child". Since he's the "ONLY", there are *very rare* opportunities to come out ahead... more likely you end up last. Kiss and make up, will ya? For chrissakes, you have a house to find & a happily-ever-after life to go on with!

Loved the Dog Poem... don't know what I'd do without my pup.
