One man and his dog.

My terrier is a one man dog, and I'm a one dog man.

We live our lives together, as happily as we can.

Her legs are short and so are mine, but I'm by far much taller.

But the age gap which at first was long is getting ever smaller.

One year of mine's worth seven of her's, at least that's what I'm told.

So with a little reckoning, together we'll get old.

She remembers my wife and son, sadly now long gone,

Her tail wags when she sniffs at things which have their scent upon.

I hope we still have many years to go, but when our time is done,

I'd like to stay together and pass away as one.

It's nice to see a man who really loves his canine friend.

Who's loyalty and love for him will surely never end.

For I believe when Gods call comes,although you have to part.

The love you shared together is forever in your heart.

For I believe there is a heaven where all good doggies wait.

And together you'll go hand in paw through heaven's golden gate.

Not for a good while though hopefully.😉

Very moving Don. I'm sure that Midge will always be with you, and you with her. Have a good day. XXX

Beautiful. I just love your poetry. They brighten my day. I would love to have a dog, but the Consultant has said I must not have any pets. My partner had to give up his dogs for me. It is a shame, because a dog would do wonders for his depression. Helping at the local animal charity would help, but they have more than enough volunteers.

Love it ...we had a Jack for 17 years of love, loyalty, and fun. We miss him. Best dogs in the world

my furbaby is a cat we are growing old together as we built the trust she now has in me quite often she keeps the night watch as she curls up by my feet as I sleep.
