Gone..

The news didn't come as a big surprise but still I sensed a hint of sadness.

Old dog Keeda is gone,  my friend told me she was put to sleep last week.  I hope she didn't suffer much.

She was such a cute and friendly dog, pouncing on me (always almost knocking me over) to have me scratch her each time I visited.

I never had a pet dog, but Keeda made me understand what joy and loyalty a dog provides.  I contemplated having one, maybe when I retire...

Do dogs go to heaven?  I wonder.  

Not something to ponder now, but I am grateful she cheered me up many times... RIP.
