I still gaze at your old pictures,
Tears fall, heart torn and raw,
In every image, a memory lingers,
A love lost, an eternal flaw.

Losing you, a wound unhealed,
A pain that echoes, deep and true,
Time may pass, but won’t conceal,
The emptiness left without you.

Dear God, please send me a forever home,
Where I won't wander the streets alone.
Where a warm bed awaits my tired paws,
And love and kindness replace the claws.

I've roamed these alleys, felt the rain,
Endured the hunger, known the pain.
I've seen the world from the ground below,
Yearning for a place where I can grow.

I dream of fields where I can run,
Chasing the shadows in the sun.
A family to call my very own,
A safe place to lay my weary bones.

In my dreams, I hear laughter and joy,
A gentle hand, a squeaky toy.
I long for a heart that understands,
A human friend with loving hands.

I've known the nights, so dark and cold,
But still, I wait, my hope is bold.
Dear God, I ask with all my might,
For a home to call mine, a guiding light.

A warning to our followers about the signs of heat stroke in dogs.

06/24/2024

I pulled my car into my parking space and our young dog came prancing up to greet me, looking very proud of herself. I had left her in her crate with the door latched, because she had eaten the cushion on the couch a few months earlier. She was not trusted alone in the house. So why was she outdoors?
I looked at the front door which was wide open. Oh sh*t. I called the police and told them I thought my house had been burgled and I was afraid to go in. A squad car arrived very quickly and 2 policemen inspected my house and said it looked like a break-in, but most of the valuables were stacked by the door.
My Collie-German Shepard puppy had broken out of her crate and had chased the burglar out of the house. With a prompt report, the police put out a bulletin and caught him later that day.
We never put her back in the crate again. She was well behaved and hadn’t even run away when outside the house on her own.
We put her to sleep this week at the old age of 16. She had a wonderful adventurous life. She peed in 48 states and 5 Canadian provinces. She swam in the Atlantic, Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, all 5 Great Lakes and many lakes, ponds, streams, and mud puddles in between.
Farewell, sweet girl.

The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
For this last battle cannot be won.
You will be sad, I understand;
Don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest,
Your love for me must stand the test.
We've had so many happy years -
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so;
The time has come, so let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
And please stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Please do not grieve - it must be you
Who had this painful thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years -
Don't let your heart hold back its tears.
