I remember dolly

All her fun and folly

On the floor a wagging tail thumped

Time to get up from bed I jumped

She would yowl,

But not howl!

Sometimes she would bark

But only for a lark

Sneak to the house next door

And visit her friend Wilbur!

When Mommy went away,

By the door she would stay!

Rest her chin upon a knee

And get a pet for free.

Up she jumped, and I really miss

That cold wet nosed Eskimo kiss

She would argue

But obey you!

Oh she was such a rascal

Yet always answer your call!

Us she’d always greet,

At the door to meet!

When the grand kids came

Her joy was aflame!

She enjoyed the chase

As always the case

Her intuition would always amaze

She knew time to play just from my gaze

And proud she was when getting the ball

As monkey in the middle was all!

Her Snoopy jump was so high

To remember brings a sigh

About that fetching look

You could write a short book!

And oh how pleased to go for a ride

To enjoy all the good smells outside

Take care to mention a “walk”

For she could understand talk

Never too shy to cuddle

Or join the family huddle.

Loyal to the very end

Oh what a delightful friend!

Struck down in her youth

Not long in the tooth!

From always present

To Never Present

There’ll always be a place in our heart

For such a great dog and so very smart;

God and time will heal a broken heart
