Ode to my dog

[MidwestMomma]

Driving down the street one day, I saw a bunch of pups and stopped
You I could have because you were defective
Not the right color, not good enough to sell
But just right for me
White with black markings, my daughter named you Pretty Girl
Pretty bad girl it turned out
But we loved you just the same
Never learned to heel, never learned to fetch
But boy did you love to steal the ball and run the yard
Catch me if you can
I never could

Rest in peace Pretty Girl
I'll love you always
See you on the other side

1. i wrote something similar for my cat

never forget how he begged so dramatically
never forget hiw whisper meows
never forget pawball
never forget all the things you miss.

2. MM, I am so sorry for your loss. These posts always tug at my

heartstrings as I think of pure and simple love between a person and their pet...er owner. Hugs to you.

It is an uncomplicated love isn't it? Thanks for reading my ode...I loved that stupid dog.

3. sweet

my friend's dog recently passed away, and he confided to me that he blubbered uncontrollably while cleaning the poop in the back yard for the last time. They really take a piece of your heart when they pass.

6. Yeah it's always the unexpected things that make you cry

I keep thinking I have to go let the dog in....sigh

Thanks for the nice words. Without pets this world would truly suck.

7. I agree, MM

they don't lend you money or drive your drunken ass home - they're just THERE. They make the ride so much easier.

8. So sorry for the loss of your beloved dog -

Our pets are really the greatest companions, aren't they? I just lost one of my kitty kids last month due to kidney disease and one last year. I know how your heart is breaking right now. Time is the great healer, though. You never forget, it just gets easier to remember the joy that they gave you over the years.

9. Sorry to hear about your kitties

I'm trying to concentrate on the good times but dang I loved that dumb old dog.

Thanks for the kind words.
