Bruce, Just put Shortstop in place of Sparky. Sorry for your loss and hope this helps soften the blow. Jim
THIS DOG'S LIFE
God Of All Living Things:
You do, indeed, work in mysterious ways.
Only You would use a dog to help mold a man. I'm
told no living creature-not even a sparrow-falls to
earth beyond Your watchful eye. If that be so, then
You already know old "Sparky" missed the hunt
today. From the now still form of this big, black
dog You call this man to instruction. You open
my heart to the wisdom of the ages.
To Loyalty: He accepted me exactly as I am.
To Patience: He would quietly wait and watch
for my moods to pass.
To Forgiveness: One word, a crack of a smile,
and he was back at my side again.
To Friendship: He was always there when I
needed him.
To Humor: He filled my belly and my day with
laughter.
To Love: He loved me unconditionally; very
much I suppose like Your love for mankind.
Now that his big heart has beat its last, I want
to thank You, Lord, for blessing this man with
this dog's life.
Amen
