I went for a car ride today… All by myself… Don’t worry, I’m
not gonna sing for ya’… Who’s got that song stuck in their head now???
My dad had to carry me down the steps and help me into the
car… I can still walk, but it hurts and I can’t go far… I get tired…
I got the whole back car seat to myself… My brothers stayed
home… They will take good care of you, dad… We doggie talked about it…
Dad, and, our friend, Vicky took me to see the doc… They
were very nice there and gave me a blanket to lay on…
I was so relaxed I fell asleep in with my head in my dad’s
lap…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Wow!!! I feel like I can run again… It doesn’t hurt… I’m
running off the leash… Dad is still sitting with my head in his lap… What is
this place??? Lots of dogs here… some cats here… I’ll try to ignore them…
I feel like I’m almost flying… Ha, dad used to joke that is
was time for me to fly when he would pick me up out of the RV or to carry me down
the apartment steps…
Hey, I wonder who those guys are running towards me… I think
I’ve seen pictures of one… Hey wait, I played with the other one a few times
when I was little… Ha, almost knocked dad out cold, one time…
Sniff… Snifff… Snifff… “Hi, Riley, I’m Jack… This is Buddy…
He told me you two already met a long time ago”… Sniffff, Snifffff…
Wow, yeah it was a long time ago… I’m sure we all sniffed a
lot of butts between then and now… I heard a lot about you, Jack… Did you know
I was coming here today???
“Yes, your dad told us… Said to make sure we met you at the
bridge and showed you around… You took good care of him through a lot of
adventures… He wants us to take good care of you… We will all see him again
some day.”
Showed me around where??? Where are we???
Buddy, never one to wait to speak, screamed… “YOU’RE IN
DOGGIE HEAVEN, RILEY!!!”
Doggie Heaven???
“Yeah, it’s great here… We all can run as fast as ever… No
one’s legs hurt… No one ever gets sick… This place is great!!!”
Is he telling the truth, Jack??? My legs feel great now…
They will never hurt again???
“He’s telling the truth, Riley… No more pain, run all you
like…”
“See, I told you… And even better… All the rabbits are slow
in Doggie Heaven…”
Really, we get to chase slow rabbits??? That’s cool…
“Let’s go chase some now…”
Hey, wait… Sniff, Snifff, Sniffff…
You smell that??? I ain’t wasting my time chasing slow
rabbits… It’s FIFI… SHE’S IN HEAT AGAIN!!!!
It’s not just my legs that work good again…
