Our beloved shih-tzu dog, Sam, passed away Saturday morning and we are heartbroken. We were blessed to have him as part of our family for a little over fourteen years. In many ways he was our first “child,” having bought him when we had our first case of “baby fever.” (He never let our daughters forget it!) He was loving, proud, vocal, grumpy, persistent, cuddly, and a wonderful lap dog and faithful companion…and he is heartbreakingly and deeply missed.
I am not up for writing a devotion for this week other than to say that I hope and pray that God has a special fondness for dogs (given that “dog” is “God” spelled backwards!) and that it means we will have Sam with us in Heaven. Till then…he is deeply loved and will be deeply missed.
