 I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me....

Favourite Pastime:
TBA
Dog’s best time:
TBA
My 5yr old black & white border mix was rejected by three owners before we found each other. She was regarded as unruly and unmanageable. While I must admit she loves my attention, she is far from unmanageable. From the time we met there was an instant bond between us. Katie is the dog that introduced me to flyball and "the dog world". After helping her loose almost 20lbs of unhealthy weight, and helping teach her to suppress her prey drive she is an amazing flyball dog and my best friend. In return she has given me her undying loyalty, protection and companionship. Somehow I feel I got the better end of the bargain. If anyone ever wondered if a dog and person can change one another then I guess we are living proof.
Best time: time spent together!
