Smoky's Gone...

Poem Artwork

He suffered little,

Though mostly blind,

And his hearing gone,

He was well loved by mom & dad,

As well loved him was his Uncle Ed…

 

Barked when he wanted something,

Played like a puppy up to the end,

He may have been quite blind,

But he always knew me, kisses he gave to my nose…

 

He gave me a replacement when Rufuz left,

Always was he there to pet & love,

It’s a shame when a doggy goes to heaven,

But for his mom & dad he will be there,

At Rainbow Bridge one day to welcome them,

Then they will play with & love him once again…

Ed,

This touched my heart more than you know. I've been there when a beloved pet dies. You know they are in no more pain, but it still hurts. God Bless you.

Ed,
I understand and sympathize. I have a precious dog name Blacie..had for about six years. He's getting older and I can tell the difference in his energy level now till then. A pet that is close to you is not just a 'pet', he's part of the family. In fact, Blackie runs this household. Lol I'm so sorry about Smokey. It feels like part of your heart is gone when a pet leaves. Rainbow Bridge is a 'perfect poem to give some hope to the grieving ones over a lost pet. I love that poem.

Blessings,
~Linda

When our dogs die part of us goes with them. They are the most loving, unselfish animals on this earth.
