TOOTIE by John Luetkemeyer / Your Daddy and Mommy

LOST

I lost a treasured friend today my little dog…Who used to lay her gentle head upon my knee and share her silent thoughts with me…She no longer comes when I call or when I throw her favorite toy down the hall. She’s not there to go for a ride anymore. A far greater call was made to her and we knew we had to let her go. Our thoughts raced not wanting to let her go as we swore this couldn’t happen to her but it was so. Although our eyes are filled with tears we thank GOD for the time we did have to hold her near. He sent her down from Heaven above with those big brown eyes and a tail that never stopped wagging when she saw one of us.

Now we know it’s time to go to sleep once again for another day has passed. We think of her one last time before we close our eyes, and as we dream of her an angel comes and says cry no more, God loved your TOOTIE too for you see he installed her a special doggy door…..

 

Love,
TOOTIE
