When we saved you from that awful pet store
You weighed 12 ounces, no less, no more
You grew up to be so slick and so daring
And a little bit greedy, you really hated sharing
But under all that you were loving and you were sweet
With a scrawny black body, from your head to your feet
So when the day came that we had to part ways
And god carried you off into his golden warm rays
I couldn't stop crying because you weren't mine for that long
And because you were so full of life, so playful, and so strong
I cant believe I cant hold you again or laugh at your silly ways
I cant believe these were our final days
I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you from your fate
I should have been there sooner, I'm so sorry i was late
I love you so much, that I pray you know
And I'll never forget you, no matter where I will go
So you'll be with me until the day we meet again
I know it seem so far away, I wish I knew when
So from now until then, you'll be locked inside my mind
Because I loved you so much Mogley, your were truly one of a kind

Poetry: Death of a pet
The sun is busy throwing
A cherry-stained and glowing,
Farewell party as he plans to go away.
The extravagant buffoon
Throws

In Loving Memory for Buddy (A wonderful Dalmatian)
It is in your memory where I live now, as I run through greener pastures,
But
A dozen birds sang soulful songs.
Feathered tears fell to the floors
of their comfy cages.
The snakes slithered uneasily.
by Myrna Bowen
The Price of Loving a Dog
That final day I spent with you,
I wondered if you maybe knew
Today you had some place to be
Away
There is an emptiness here
now that you’re gone.
For thirteen years you
were my best friend,
my constant companion
