I am considering publishing a book about old dogs and their advice on living a long life. Contact me and let me know if you are interested. If I get enough people who want to share a picture of and a quote from their elderly dog, we can proceed with the book. Let's make our special old friends famous.
Old Friends
They bring us so much joy
deep understanding too
we can count on them to be there
whatever we're going through
soft eyes always seem to say
I'll be your trusted friend
until the last breath of my last day
And when I cross the rainbow bridge
I'll wait at the gate for you
oh, the fun we will share again
what wonderful things we will do
I know I'm growing older
my steps are no longer sure
but I will still love you forever
with unconditional love so pure
Haven't any dogs that lived to be old aged. But they bond easily with what they think we are, the leader of the pack, and will do anything for us until they can't get up from where they lay, like my brothers trusted Golden Retriever who live a happy life by the water, running free and chasing ducks, geese and swans for fun but never catching them.
Roger had Rocky euthanized rather than suffer the pain he was going through.
A beautiful poem and tribute to old dogs. And I'm sure the book will be well done and beautiful to read.

There is no doubt the love and loyalty of these devoted old friends…Their loss is as great as a family member…
and the understanding between dog and ‘master/mistress is at times astounding…
Happy New Year…
