Rest in peace sweet Daisy

With tears in our eyes and love in our heart we said goodbye to our sweet Daisy. Though she's no longer living among us and home feels vacant without her there is comfort in believing she's now with her momma Lacey -- happy and healthy again, full of spirit, all smiling eyes and wagging tail, knowing in her heart she'll see us again someday. I love what James Herriot, the late British author and veterinarian had to say in his story “The Card Over the Bed."  He writes of an old woman whose only fear is that she may never be reunited with her animals after death because some people say animals have no soul. Holding the old woman’s hand, Herriot replies:

"If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty
and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of
humans. You've nothing to worry about there."
He goes on to note regarding animals
joining their masters in the afterlife:
"I do believe it. With all my heart I believe it."

I believe it too.
