All Dogs Go to Heaven

That’s what was written on our first dog’s tombstone. I like to believe that it’s true. I mean how can you not? Doggies are the most loving and selfless creatures ever. It’s a shame they can’t be with us as long as we’d like them to be. Today we had to put down our family dog, Gucci. We rescued him from the shelter in 2003 when he was 7 years old. Unfortunately I was not there to witness it, because I had just moved to California, but Gucci was evidently this long-haired little mess at the time. But you could tell under all that fur that he was a sweet adorable little guy. So my parents brought him home, gave him a haircut, and made him their baby. He was a great addition to the family and made us all very happy these last 6 years. We will miss him a lot but know that he’s in doggy heaven now. We’re giving him a tombstone too, right next to our other dog’s. It will have a line from Pretty Woman on it. “We rescued you, but you rescued us right back.”

We love you Gucci and will miss you!
RIP Gucci Paul Clark (1996-2009).
