Tongue in cheek...

I opened my eyes this morning listening To the silence No fire No brimstone No neighbor’s dobermans down at the street Barking at the deer hound Who gets his morning walk right about this time Then I looked over and on the chair were two little pelts Neatly folded Doggie pelts Our doggies I jumped up and in the neighbor’s backyard Three brown pelts, neatly folded Rapture Dog Rapture and I had slept through it They didn’t even leave a note Mark Twain said a hundred years ago or so “Heaven goes by favor If it went by merit, You would stay out and Your dog would go in” So, old preacher Camping almost got it right Just another slight miscalculation He got the part right about hell though Copyright 2011 Patrick Granfors

Nice write, adding the Twain quote and the cute doggie picture made the prefect additions.

�Heaven goes by favor
If it went by merit,
You would stay out and
Your dog would go in�

I've always loved that Twain quote.

Not being a religious type, I've always thought that if there is a heaven, Mercie, Sabra, Dinky, Daisy, Fergie, Becky and Wednesday will be there... I mean, that's, of course, if I get to heaven.

Very well done, Patrick. I've always said that "Dog is a perfect reflection of God." Definitely more deserving than we are. God bless.
