Don't close the door! Don't push me away. Why are you leaving? Don't make me stay. Slow down the car, I can't keep up. This pavement is hot and my pads are cut. I've got to quit running or my heart will pop. Every muscle is aching. Why don't you stop? I'm so hungry and thirsty. Darkness is near. But I shouldn't leave, he will come for me here. Several weeks have passed, I am dead on my feet. They call me a nuisance because I eat off the streets. Every car that passes, I chase it to see If it's m… Continue

MAY I GO? May I go now? Do you think the time is right? May I say goodbye to pain filled days and endless lonely nights? I've lived my life and done my best, an example tried to be. So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free? I didn't want to go at first, I fought with all my might. But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light. I want to go. I really do. It's difficult to stay. But I will try as best I can to live just one more day. To give you time to care for me… Continue

HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR My best friend closed his eyes last night, As his head was in my hand. The Doctors said he was in pain, And it was hard for him to stand. The thoughts that scurried through my head, As I cradled him in my arms. Were of his younger, puppy years, And OH...his many charms. Today, there was no gentle nudge With an intense "I love you gaze", Only a heart thats filled with tears Remembering our joy filled days. But an Angel just appeared to me, And he said, "You should cry no m… Continue

I was bored last night and started reading poems where people's animals die. I added some to my page when suddenly I wanted to make my own poem and dedicate it to my little girl, Dolly. So here it goes. When My Baby Girl Is Dead What shall I do when my baby girl is dead? That is the day I often dread. Who will be waiting for me on the top of the stairs? Will my black shirt stay black without little blonde hairs? Who will I tell my secrets to, And who will cheer me up when I'm feeling bl… Continue

An old man wandered aimlessly, on a cold and rainy day. He wished for friends and family, but all had passed away. He thought he saw a movement from the corner of his eye. An old shivering dog lay curled beneath the leaden sky. The old man whistled for the dog, the sad sight made him weep. Now if it follows me, he thought, this old dog I shall keep. The old dog raised his shaggy head, with a longing in his eyes. His tail was wagging slowly, as the old dog tried to rise. Now the two became the… Continue

My family brought me home cradled in their arms. They cuddled me and smiled at me and said I was full of charm. They played with me and laughed with me and showered me with toys. I sure do love my family, especially the girls and boys. The children loved to feed me, they gave me special treats. They even let me sleep with them - all snuggled in the sheets. I used to go for walks, often several times a day. They even fought to hold the leash, I'm very proud to say. These are the things I'll not f… Continue

A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun. Too faithful to leave, too frightened to run. He's been here for days now with nothing to do, but sit by the road waiting for you. He can't understand why you left him that day. He thought you and he were stopping to play. He's sure you'll come back, and that's why he stays. How long will he suffer? How many days? His legs have grown weak, his throat's parched dry. He's sick now from hunger and falls, with a sigh. He lays down his head and closes h… Continue
