Dogs in Heaven

Will Rogers said it best, “If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.”

When I see the joy in our goldens as they run and chase each other around, I sometimes think that instead of streets of gold, I’d just as soon be surrounded by our goldens (and other goldens for that matter – the more the merrier!) when time on earth is through.

“Oklahoma’s Favorite Son” was born in Oklahoma in 1879 and died in a plane crash in 1935 with Wiley Post in northern Alaska. (Will Rogers)

Will Rogers was hugely popular by the mid-1930s with his folksy style, and although I was born decades later, I heard lots of quotes and aphorisms of Will Rogers growing up. It does make sense in that I was raised not too far from the Oklahoma border, and we would travel on the Will Rogers Turnpike; sometimes to go to the Will Rogers Museum in Claremore, OK. It’s worth the trip!
