To work daily I must go, Leaving my best buddy home, He would prefer to be out with me and roam, So would I, it just isn’t possible now though… He looks up at me when from a walk we home head, His eyes say he loves me & wants to play, We play a little bit, chasing each other, him growling, his way, Though he knows what is about to happen, all day in dads bed… His ears are down, he is unhappy and upset, He doesn’t even get this way when going to the vet, As long as we are together, he is in his life set, But for now, he is left, and I owe him a large debt… © ed ~ 4/18/07

Rufuz you're a poet you have to learn how to dream like me, then you'll never feel alone! While Dads at work you can daydream all day;-)

Love,

That was so dog gone sweet. I have a dog for the first time and never knew how much you could love an animal. Nice owner your dog has.

The way he acts when you're about to leave says to me that he loves you very much. I have a "Buddy" as well, and he gets lonely when we're gone too.
Hugs, Laura

Ed, it is hard leaving the one you love, the one who gives you the most joy. It's nice that you have a friend like Rufuz; he is one of a kind! Very well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your Tx. friend, Karen Lynn. :D

He'll love you forever, my friend, and he knows you must leave him to work. So enjoy each other's company every chance you get, Bro, because they truly do love us with their entire being - 24 hours a day.
