Thas' my boy...

Poem Artwork

I miss him so very much,

I hope wherever he is, of a good human he has his touch,

He deserves to live & be free of pain,

He did for me for ten years of his life,

Help me not to of the world very much complain…

 

A heart of gold & a kissy tongue as well,

He loved to be brushed & pampered,

But only by his one and only me,

He didn’t want others to of his pampering see…

 

Yes I need another dog, but it will never be my Rufuz,

I was so sick last winter and could never have kept him,

As well the complex asked to have him removed,

After an infraction he did not understand,

But I swear if I could find him, I’d have him back with me,

Back with me he would then forever be…

Almost any dog will do just fine, no two dogs are ever the same, and that's a good thing. Patrick

It must be hard knowing he is with someone else.
A new dog would help, but it takes time for affection to grow into love. When you get right down to it, a good dog can't be replaced, but a needy heart can make room for another 4-footed pal to love.
