The true story of a dear friend

She was my faithful partner,
she was my special friend.
She was by my side
for thriteen years,
On her I could depend,
to listen to my tales of
woe, my secret inner longings
She never uttered a bad word,
nor voiced a critical thought

Her hair was the color
of golden wheat,
Her eyes were soft light brown
A true r, loyalier friend ,
I have never found
Now she's gone from me,
lost with out a trace
I've looked, called her name,
naught to see her face.

In my mind ,I still can see her,
running through the pines
Sandy was my dog,
A better or more special friend,
I've never found again .......


Sandy was part lab. She came to live with us when she was about nine months old and remained until she disappeared . We looked every where, called the animal shelter, posted a reward with her picture, but she never came home again.
We think perhaps she died some where in the country side near our home. She was fourteen . I have had a few dogs since she left, but none have ever compared to her.. Some pets can never true ly be replaced.......
