Heaven is Like...

Many of  you humans believe there is a Heaven. I am told that Heaven is a place where God and the angels and all holy people live. While you humans have many opinions of what Heaven is really like and of how humans can actually get yourselves back to Heaven, one thing is for certain: Heaven is a wonderful place, a paradise, beautiful and calming for everyone who is there.

How would I describe Heaven? For me, as a 7-month old puppy, Heaven is like Dog Park the day after a giant snowstorm! There are zillions of dogs there for me to chase, play with, and with whom to share a stick. Some of us wear coats and sweaters to keep our fur warm; others wear little booties to keep our paws dry.

We have snowball fights by tossing snow up in the air with our noses!

We play "King of the Mountain" by chasing each other up and down the snowy hills!

We play Tug on each other's coats and sweaters!

We dig big holes and bury our toys in the snow, only to dig them back up again a few minutes later! You should see all the snow fly when we are digging so fast and furious!

We have "Who Can Eat the Most Snow (Except Yellow Snow)" contests!

We play "Hide and Seek" in the snow drifts! More often than not, our wagging tails give our location away!

Some of us run on the paths made by each other's pawprints in the snow; others make our own paths!

We Dog-Sled by sliding down snowy hills on our tummies!

When we lie on our backs, we make Snow-Dog Angels! Our flimsy legs and paws dance in the air!

Most importantly, we help each other take off the clumps of snow that accumulate on our paws and our fur.

So, my kith and kin, while you humans try to determine who can get to Heaven, I am just going to enjoy my own idea of Heaven: a playful paradise made of snow!

Thought for you humans:
What is your Heaven? What brings you pure delight?
