God's Dog

            We had a dog named Turbo. He had been my dog for more years than I could count but my

twins had known him for the last few years of his life. He was a miniature Schnauzer. He was grey

and looked like a little old man his entire life. He was adorable and it broke all of our hearts when he

was killed. Drew still brings him up and tells me that he misses Turbo. Drew has some musings about

the dog afterlife. He knows of Heaven and all that we believe is waiting for us on the other side of

this life. Why should it be different for dogs? Drew reckons that Turbo is now God’s dog and that

God is taking care of him until we all reunite in Heaven one day. He believes that God pets and walks

our dog. That God wants our dog to be happy in Heaven and because of that Drew is certain that God

has all sorts of wonderful things for Turbo to pee on. Turbo was a property marking little pooch. He

was particularly fond of peeing on the tires of my car so it would stand to reason that God would

provide tires for Turbo to make him happy and feel right at home. I must concur with Drew’s ideas

and find it charming that my youngest son has put such thought into wanting Turbo to be happy while

he is away from us. When I get to Heaven I will not be at all surprised to see tires of all sizes just for

my dog. Rest in peace Turbo, we miss you.
