This is why dogs never die:
âSome of you, particularly those who think they have recently lost a dog to âdeathâ, donât really understand this. Iâve had no desire to explain, but I wonât be around forever and must for those out there to finally understand.
Dogs never die. They donât know how too. They get tired, very old and their bones hurt. Of course they donât die. If they did they would not want to always go for a walk, even long after their old bones say âNo, no not a good idea. Letâs not go for a walk.â Nope, dogs always want to go for a walk. They might get one step before their aging tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor but thatâs what dogs do. They walk.
You see, a walk with you is all there is. A walk with their best friend and the symphony of odor that the world is. Cat poop, another dogâs mark, a rotting chicken bone and you. That is what makes their world perfect and in a perfect world death as no place.
Dogs just get very, very sleepy. That is the thing you see. The donât teach you that at the fancy university where they explain about quarks and economics. They know so much there that they forget that dogs never die. It is a shame really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just talk too much.
When you think your dog has died, it has really just fallen asleep in the world and now lives in your heart. And by the way, it is wagging its tail madly, you see, and that is why your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time. Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its tail in their chest? Ouch! Wap, wap, wap, wap, wap, that hurts. But they only wag because they are so happy to be so close to you.
Whenever they wake up in your heart they wag their tail. After a few dog years, they sleep for longer periods of time and you will too. They were a GOOD DOG all their life and you both know it. It gets tiring being a good dog all the time, particularly when you get old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face and donât want to go outside to pee when it is raining but they do because they are a good dog. So understand that after they have been sleeping in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer.
But donât get fooled. They are not âdeadâ. There is no such thing, really. They are sleeping in your heart and when they wake up, usually when you are not expecting it. It is just who they are.
I feel sorry for people who donât have dogs sleeping in their heart. They miss so much. Excuse me, I have to go cry now.â
