What Do You Do Your First Day In Heaven?

I wrote this several days ago, but have been too sad to put it up!

(I know before I write this that someone is going to comment and tell me there are no dogs in Heaven. I will then ask if there are cats. Then I will be told that there are no animals in Heaven. Well, I want to say right now that I don't think that's true. If God created a Heaven and is not going to allow our babies in I can honestly say that a lot of us probably won't want to go anyway. So that's my standard answer. If my babies ain't going I ain't going either. Heaven is supposed to be perfect. Our little animals have to be there.)

I can imagine my Dottie is having a ball, literally. I am sure she busted into Heaven liked she owned the place. St. Peter was happy to see her. He had a bunch of tennis balls waiting for her. Dottie's sister, Annabelle, who passed on at the beginning of the year, was there waiting on her. They had a big reunion. Dottie went to check on her bed and the environs she'd be staying in. I'd think it was a pretty big area to run around in and have fun. She'd want a place to sleep that was kind of dark and cool in the summer and actually the winter also. She might even ask for a Taliban cave for the coldest of days. But then I would imagine all the days in Heaven are perfect.

After being satisfied of the sleeping arrangment, Dottie would have taken off for the kitchen. She would have checked out all of the place and made sure the food was up to snuff. They would have had to show her the Marro Bones. She was big on them. After the kitchen inspection, Dottie would have gone out to the ball field. She will be the next big star in Heaven. I can see her now; shagging pop flys with Mickey, Ted and all the other greats. She played catch with St. Peter first.

I suspect after all that excitement she would have taken a nap. After that first nap I am sure she woke up hungry and barked at the kitchen door.

My baby is gone, but she is not forgotten. She will never be forgotten. I am sure she will be happy in her new home. I know I am happy for her. She will be missed. She will always be loved. I love you Dottie. I miss you so much already.
