As the years go by



As the years go by
                                Time seemly sits still
Not feeling older
                                White grows stronger
So does time
                                As it flies by
Like slow motion
                                A new jet
                                                Somehow shows age
Then rust
I do not fear growing old
                                Aging or dying
I fear you leaving me behind
                                Not enjoying long walks with you
                                                How do I enjoy those walks without you
I like that the past nine or so years
                We are bonded together                            
                                Like a bird needs her wings
You are my wing girl
                Heartbreak fills me
Knowing that you’re in pain
                                Not showing
Rarely crying out
I know
                I KNOW
                I SEE YOU
I FEEL YOUR       
                Every slow movement
Time moving even slower
                                As we grow older
Slow to sit
                Slower to run
Slow to jump on the couth
                You don’t seem to visit me in bed anymore
I guess it is too high
                now that time is taking the color from your fur
I will by a bed that touches the floor
                I want you near me
Until the time has come                
                When all you pain is done
Mine has only begun
                I love you
I will keep you strong until
                Until you tell me, “mommy it is time
And I will wait on the other side
                The rainbow called
And I want to play
                                Run
                                                Jump
                                                                All day”

I will cry
                Missing you and dying on the inside
I will say, “Baby go play
                                Run run run
Don’t stop
                Have all your fun
                                I will come find you
When my time here is done
                Play run and have fun
                                       When my time here is done
I will find you and together
                             we will have fun
                                             I LOVE YOU."

Watching Them Play



 









Watch them play
All day
See them run
Jump
Roll around
Making strange sounds
Smiles that go wider and wider
So wide
Like the Grand Canyon earthly smile
Tongues that hang low
 Like they plan to escape              
From the Grand Canyons hold
Making me smile
Mouths open so wide
I see happy hearts
Theirs and mine
We are one of a kind
It never gets old
Watching them play
All day




Pet Pal Doggy - Playtime



                                                            

This is what dogs were meant to do; play, love, have fun and maybe even entertain us a little :-)

What Changed?



I don’t understand
                I was so small
                                                                                I was happy
We had fun
                                                                                Under the sun
                                                                                                The moon
                                                                                                                And the stars
We were never far from each other
                                                                                Always had time for kisses and hugs
Now I noticed a change
                                                                                We are older
You got busier
                                                                                You’re too busy to offer me
                                                                                                The time as you did before
I don’t know what
                or why you changed
                                You smell the same
                                                                                I still love spending time with you
Just share your time
                Spare a few minutes
                                Of love and care
                                                                                I want to share the love
                                                                                                                The love that we had shared before

Today you forgot to feed me



Today you forgot to feed me
                                                                Its okay
My water bowl is dry
                                                                All gone
                                                                                Its okay
Why have you forgotten me?
                                                                I am always here for you
Today when you put me outside
You forgot to let me back in
                                                                I cried, staring at the door
                                                                Still HUNGRY
                                                                                And THIRSTY     
                                                                                                Now all ALONE 
                                                                I cried
You left me
                One day turns to three
                                                                Scared and alone
When will you came home
                And let me in
                                                                It’s okay
                                                                I am always here for you
So much barking
                In this strange place
So much noise
Cold floors                                         
                                                                I got food and water today
Where are you
                                Gone again
                                                                Once you loved me
                                                                                Now left me
                                                                                                in a scary cage
Watching
                Waiting
                                You never came
                                                                After all we grew up together   
                                                                                                We grew old together
You got colder
                As we got older
                                                                Its okay
                                                                I was always there for you
Confused
                Alone
                                I wait
three days more
                                two
                                                one
                                                                None    
No more days
                Will I be allowed to wait
                                                                For you

No more
                                Days
                                                                LEFT

Pets are a commitment from day one to the bitter end. They should never suffer from a human’s selfish need for not sparing the time to care for them in their golden years. Love is for life and so are our pets. Have you ever seen a dog cry? I have, I have seen tears ROLL down their eyes, it broke my heart. Animals love wholly and completely; they don’t play with your emotions or try and deceive you. They will not try to use you or abuse you; our pets only want to LOVE us completely and wholly.

Have you ever seen a dog that suffered from a broken heart, I have, and about three weeks later he died. I can only imagine that it was due to his broken heart.

Please don’t dump your pets at a kill shelter.
Please don’t put them on Craig’s list.
Please love you pet or don’t get one to start with, if you can not commit.




A Dream of Boundaries and Unexpected Paths

A Dream of Boundaries and Unexpected Paths This morning, I had a vivid dream that rushed back to me after I stepped outside. It started wit...
