Life is a sacred thing. It sounds as if this pet was loved and provided for. If his life was cut short, it was a life of quality and richness. Can we really ask for more ourselves? This may not mean much to your sense of reality but perhaps you can borrow just a little from mine. God loves all of his creatures. He sees every bird in the sky. His memory will is eternal. Your pet will never be forgotten. My ferret, your puppy, both will be remembered by God with affection. This comforts me and I hope it does you as well.
