“High up in the courts of
heaven today
A little dog angel waits;
With the other angels he will not play,
But he sits alone at the gates.
For I know my master will come, says he,
And when he comes he will call for me.
The other angels pass him
by
As they hurry towards the throne,
And he watches them with a wistful eye
As he sits at the gates alone.
But I know if I just wait patiently
That someday my master will call for me.
And his master, down on
the earth below,
As he sits in his easy chair,
Forgets sometimes, and whispers low
To the dog, who is not there.
And the little dog angel cocks his ears, And dreams
that his master's voice he hears.
And when at last his master
waits
Outside in the dark and cold,
For the hand of death to open the door,
That leads to those courts of gold,
He will hear a sound through the gathering dark,
A little dog angel's bark."

Sushi was
the joy of our family. She was loving, gentle
and very intelligent. We were so fortunate to
find her at the Humane Society. When the family
wanted a house dog, I was not very thrilled about
having a dog in the house. On the second day Sushi
became my dog--she changed me with her love. Letting
Sushi go was a terrible loss but never having
Sushi as part of our lives would have been a much
greater loss. The family misses her dearly but
we know someday we will be together again and
then we will never let her go. Thank you Sushi.
