he’s everything
to me, and
i can’t believe
his time
is coming
to an end.
the light is
getting closer,
but i’m not
ready to say
goodbye
yet.
we’ve had
a good run,
but i’m
not ready
for it
to be over.
i’m not ready
to let it…
go.
he’s everything
to me —
a love
so perfect,
a man’s
best friend,
and i can’t
believe
eleven years
have already
flown by.
i know his
time on earth
is limited,
and i’m afraid
of the day
when i have
to say
goodbye.
please, god —
please hold
the light,
because i’m
not ready
to say
goodbye
yet.

Looking up at me, so cute they seem,
Innocent, kind, pure and full of love.
Oh what fun I'm going to have with you little one,
yes roll on your back just like that, let me rub your belly and enjoy your softness underneath my palm,
Your eyes so sweet, and absolutely joy-struck when I give you treats,
let me pat you more.. More, more, more!
Just keep looking at me little puppy,
I can see the love you have for me.

Out the box, precious little thing as we knew!
Very moment we laid our eyes, our hearts swayed away.
Still remember the moment I washed you,
In a little sink, as you quivered hard to stay.
Three years of our life ain't much to adieu!
But a big piece in yours, as you spent like a holiday.
Never played fetch and it's not your cue,
For you once been a normal canine? no per se!
Welcome you with our hearts to a year- brand new,
You're the best son ever and that's all I can say!

I remember you as a fluffy furball
As I gave you the first baby bath.
Made you sit & stand- as ya learnt 'em all
Oh! with you- it wasn't an easy path!
So well grown up, now past 4 years I recall.
Though calm & gentle, the time
rows fast.
Will it ever be the same midst all these brawl?
Never will it be- since things ran 'south'!
May be far- we will always, love you Pal.
Happier you wag & stronger gets your health!

When compared to the average life span
Of the average human, on one side,
Dogs come up short of us; tall ones, even shorter.
And trees, especially tall ones, live longer. On the average.
How many times, in an average day,
Do I come between such?

My dearest, darling, hairless friend
Whenever will this torture end?
You buy these teasing tasty treats
Like sausage, chicken and other meats
But then you hide them on the shelf,
Temptation must be bad for my health!
I’m such a good dog, most of the day,
It's not my fault my training strays.
But pity me, I have no thumbs
Instead of hand shakes, I sniff bums.
Don’t smugly tuck the food away!
You know I’ll get it anyway...
Remember that time you cooked the roast?
You were so proud, you had a boast:
‘I can’t wait, it’ll be divine!
The beef will go perfectly with the wine!’
I overheard and wanted to try,
Should I be left out? I don’t see why.
Ok, I shouldn’t have made a mess.
I may have got meat on your dress,
There could be gravy on the rug,
I might’ve broken your favourite mug.
But I just wanted to celebrate,
Because your roast really was that great!
Yes, it was totally destroyed,
And yes you really were annoyed,
Although I had no treats for a week
I hated that I couldn’t speak.
I wanted to say sorry to you,
Because I love you through and through.
I tried saying sorry with that dead bird
But that made you say more swear words.
I licked your face numerous times too
But you didn’t like that I’d been eating poo…
I even tried climbing in your bed
I'm sorry I was sick on the bedspread.
All I’m really trying to say
Is I can’t deny my doggy ways,
I may be a smelly, naughty pain
But really I think that’s your gain!
We have a laugh and so many hugs,
Please forgive me for breaking mugs?
Thanks for all the walks and runs
I love that we have so much fun.
You’re the best owner there could be
So please just listen to my plea!
Stop buying all this tasty food
And I will leave your roasts unchewed!
(I know I did it that one time
But I’m changed now, promise, I regret my crime)
