Dogs in Heaven
A friend gave me the book Dogs in Heaven – it was touching to read this morning over tea and breakfast. Today would have been Arlene’s 14th birthday. I realize now in hindsight, I was keeping her around for selfish purposes – her birthday (so arbitrary to a dog, really who can figure out dog years anyway?), and T’s family coming in June, and my own need to have her near me.
The vet called and her ashes arrived from the cremation people, ready to be picked up. It was supposed to take a week but arrived on her birthday. I guess she wants me to celebrate anyway.
So we will.
My sweet Bean running circles around dog heaven, Happy Birthday!
