Bright blue eyes and fuzzy ears,
You were a funny pup.
At that time I did not think
About the day I would give you up.

You dug your holes and talked your talk
As your life intertwined with mine.
Those blue eyes looked into my heart
Our bonding was divine.

I loved you and you loved me
That was plain for all to see.
Life was close to perfect
For Bergie Dog and me.

We chased the squirrels and dug out gophers
And planted flowers as friends.
Then one day after eleven years
Your time on earth would end.

One day you could not follow me
Through the lawn as before.
I looked into those blue eyes
And saw a glimpse of Heaven's shore.

I prayed to Jesus with you
That your suffering He would end.
And take you on to Heaven
My blue eyed, fuzzy eared friend.

I was with you when He took you
Looking in to those blue eyes
My tears were falling on you
As raindrops from the skies.

You slipped so gently from me
Into the Maker's hands.
Going on before me
Into that promised land.

My blue eyed friend is now waiting
In the meadow oh so green.
Her fuzzy ears always listening
For my footsteps once again.

One day I will be with you
Our bond complete once more.
My blue eyed, fuzzy eared Bergie
As we stroll on Heaven's shore.

Until then I will be living
With your memory day by day
Knowing a blue eyed furry angel
By my side will always stay.
