This beautiful (copied) Poem had no name so I call it God Dog...I hope all those who have lost their loved doggie companions and are hurting will be a little comforted and find some peace in reading these words (not mine though I can feel them) So many have such a wonderful gift with their words and thoughts and I thank them for sharing their gifts with us...The photo (in The Secret Garden) is of our lovely SandyDog who's been gone 3 years now with her mates Sootyfoot and Cameo...who are both very much with us...Thank You God.

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 one 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's not one left for me." The Father smiled and softly said, "I've left you 'til the end. I've turned my own name back to front, and called you Dog, my friend." --- Author Unknown (but brilliant)
