This is unfair to a dog person. Very good.

Beautiful and so true...thank you for sharing sir.

I loved it, and the pooches are adorable :-)

Wonderful tribute to the unique nature that puppies have for their mother. "Until the day she returns again"? Does she return?

Thanks for sharing.

Very cute and so other the puppies and thanks for your comments on my poem, Budd. Peace!!!

This picture is just precious!
Missing someone is heart rending, even more so, when they are still on earth and far away...
Long ago they put candles in the windows as lights to let others know they were home. May candles of light be in your minds eye, while paws under chin wait for this return...
These little creatures God gave are blessings till we can be with those we care about...

Hoping moonbeams and sunrises continue to captivate you sweet Budd as you grace us with your beautiful poetry!

There are times we can learn from them...their loyalty...their love...their quick to play attitude

Much like children they are to me,
and you have captured THEIR human
emotions so well, Budd

Lady Vivian

Aww, they have feelings, too. Humans forget that. And I can say from experience that our furry friends can be more loyal than our own human families. Well done.

Having a pack of my own, I know that animals truly miss members of their family, and even mourn for them when one is lost.

Dogs have feelings like we have.

Whether she is coming or not, they will wait patiently.

My second cousin, also a twin, had a frisky little poodle she named Tawny. Tawny had many pups that she sold except for one so that Tawny would have a companion. Jean's twin sister, Jan, divorced, and came to live with her. Jan wanted dogs, too, so two puppies were kept from the next batch. When the sisters were coming back to California on a trip to Chicago on the train, Jan had a heart attack and died. When I came to the house after that, I was greeted by four poodles jumping all over me happily. Waiting for Jan to come home?

They say that when Jean died in her sleep in bed, they had a hard time approaching her because all four poodles stood guard over her in death.

Excellent write, Budd.

That was truly wonderful, and I hope a really happy ending.

Where could she be? I hate to think the worst but you say, "Suns and moons keep passing by". Those pups are so cute! They have a good sire who stays with them. Moving piece.

Love ya!

Jane

Yep. They miss us.

Dogs have feelings too...you have caught them here...e

wow, kind of describes the feeling of the absence of someone suddenly taken away.
