I got another dog today

She’s nothing much like you

If truth be told, she is not old

In fact, she ate my shoe.

I thought that if I got her

I’d fill that Void inside

The one that brought me to my knees

The day you up and died.

It matters not a whit to me

That time was near; I knew it

I felt that though your days grew dim

We’d somehow both pull through it.

I wanted you to live forever

My buddy, pal, my Friend

Your age and body turned on us

We had to face the end.

I think about the times we “talked”

And of our walks together

And how we nestled hand in paw

In damp and chilly weather.

 There’s so much to remember

So much that I regret

There is one thing so certain

And that’s you, I won’t forget.

I got another dog today

She barks, and pees, and drools

She’s completely disobedient

With no regard for rules.

What’s this? It just came back to me

You did those very things

And suddenly, while watching her

My heart began to sing…

Cuz something small and somehow soft

A spark, or tiny pearl

In her huge brown eyes, in her smiling eyes

Just made me think of you, Old Girl…

It made me think of you.

Goodbye, My Love

I got another dog today

We’re going out for a walk

On the way I’ll tell her things

Like when we used to talk.

It’s true I’ll write this once again

When pain eclipses joy

When I go outside, when I’m all alone

When I find a buried toy.

Goodbye for a while

I’ll get in my car and come back again

This much I know is true

I’ll get another dog that day

Yet another just like you.

While we can’t prevail against the untimely demise of our pets, we are able to help them in other ways!
